and they are also hammering it all, and it is clear that they will, will raise this issue, and the russian forces in poland, which are also masquerading as polish forces, they will similarly raise this issue, so here, as they say, it is necessary to all of us, moderate people, people who understand this context from both sides, to somehow think, somehow come to an agreement, somehow develop a common vision for... for a common future, and one more topic that we would like to discuss today is, of course, the press conference of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, it took place this week, the president said, answering journalists' questions about the situation at the front and about the kursk region, it is clear that there were certain... sharp questions,

they touched on the topic and mr. tatarov, they touched on the topic and, of course, the united states america, about the entourage of the president, that is, there was a certain set of issues that are usually discussed by society today, some positively, some negatively, as a whole, mr. vitaly, you evaluate this press conference, how do you rate its quality. submissions, quality of responses, have you been satisfied, as a citizen of ukraine, with the answers given by the president, and of course, whether you and i, as citizens , are satisfied with the questions that were asked to the president, or whether all the questions that concern us today were asked, i do not know, andrei, i proceed from the simple truth of journalism that the press conference is not news, i did not watch this press conference, i just watched some theses that i presented. president, what was

important to me, i noticed there, but i spent exactly 10 minutes reading these things, i believe that what that what can be said at the press conference, this is no longer news, ugh, ugh, that's it, i can't tell you about the quality there, about everything, i'm none, you know, for years i don't remember how many at any press conference i have not been to the press conference of any ukrainian president, i have not been since 1994, and because i believe that if people say something... to a large crowd of journalists, then it has nothing to do with politics, in reality, well, it just my point of view so can't answer you why any questions there is something that can be made public thus, it is a faster part of the theatrical production than a part of political life, and yet, even now, i understand that it is not discussed as much as it probably was before a full-scale invasion, it is clear that we are not di'. i'm not

the same, i still agree with you that now i understand why everyone is discussing it, but it's probably not that important to society anymore, i didn't see as many discussions as before the full-scale retort, i noticed , that the central theme of this entire press conference was that the president answered about the deputy head of his office, it seems to be tatarov, yes, yes, yes, it seems, yes, well, that's great too. strange because the president has repeatedly shown since 2022 that he is ready to defend his ugh, staff in front of journalists, ugh, ugh, because he believes that this is part of his political image, his political strength, at the same time, let's not forget that when the president decides to get rid of one of his closest associates, he also does not ask journalists about it and does not pay much attention to public opinion, the truth is, he, well remember that the head of... his office

was andriy bohdan, i seem to forget these people already, bohdan, yes, yes, yes, oh, and this bohdan, it seems, was also criticized no less than oleg tatarov, and the president defended him with the same fervor as they defend oleg tatarov now, and then one fine day kicked him out of office and no longer mentioned his existence, though, well, logically, well, the same thing happened with any other people, even with people socially resonant ones, such as valery zaluzno, if the president... makes a decision to dismiss someone, he is absolutely not interested in what journalists or non -journalists think about it, if he is going to leave someone in office, he is absolutely not interested in what questions are asked about this, he simply does not notice or is annoyed , because this is, i would say, this is the style of government, and he stood for it, for this is the style of government ukrainians voted for in the presidential and parliamentary elections, this is a model. sole

rule, which relies not so much on the constitution, as much as possible, because in our conditions of a parliamentary-presidential republic, when you have an absolute majority in the parliament, you can ignore the parliament and can... turn the government into a department in the president's office, this, by the way, is not the first time in in ukrainian history, as you remember, it was already like that, and after 2010 it was like that, in principle, you can ignore public opinion, because you have such a huge mandate, 73% of support, and i remind you again that this not the choice of volodymyr zelenskyi, it is not himself so he chose, whether he seized power there through a coup d'état, this is the choice of the ukrainian people, the ukrainians gave birth to this paternalistic... one-person model of governance, i am not surprised either, because the most popular politician among ukrainians for many years, if not ten years, was oleksandr lukashenka, and it was absolutely clear that if the conditions are created for such and such a model of government to emerge in ukraine, then it will emerge, well, i am not surprised by this, but mr.

vitaly, if we are generally talking about the context of press conferences, are they necessary? now in the form in which they are, in which they are a connection. of the president by society through the media, and if not and if they are necessary, if we are talking about the fact that they are really necessary, then journalists, in my opinion, have the right to ask similar questions, and probably they want to hear some answers to these questions , of course, but don't forget that when journalists ask questions in countries where there is a quick electoral response, let's say there: when journalists come to the briefing in the white house, then the people who meet them they know that if something is wrong with them, they will be able to answer questions, they will meet not with journalists, but with the voter, and when you and i are in a situation where such an electoral answer is not quick, then of course in this situation, the very form and

essence the answer doesn't matter much, that's all i wanted to tell you, that is , after all, if even there journalists or society did not like some answer, then according to the authorities, this is not a problem for them, and it will not affect , will not affect which, will not affect the perception of the system at all power, as far as i understand, will affect, will not affect, what does it matter if there are no elections, well, it affected, and what, we are in the same boat as the government, if the government sinks, we will also sink, in the conditions of war, if the heat sinks, the government is sinking, we are on such a titanic, we need it. that it was not the titanic, but that it was a ship capable of overcoming a disaster, as soon as we set sail, it will be possible to talk about some electoral issues there, but i don't think that this is a quick story, as you understand, well yes, here we are actually we really see that

public attention, considering the fact that there is a war going on in our country, considering the fact that... that daily shelling continues in our country, daily terrorist actions by russia, we observe that the attention to such measures is minimal and not the way it is during, at least, election cycles, that is, when the presidential election is expected or the parliamentary election of the country is expected, then of course people pay more attention to that. what does the president say, what does he say, generally a more specific period, andriy, well , you understand, a more specific period, in the war you seized some territory, you seized it, it's a fact, ukrainian troops entered suja, it's

a fact, russian troops found themselves some kilometers from pokrovsk, it's a fact, a russian missile hit the ruins somewhere near the territory of kyiv... ugh, you can't buy a ticket for the railway, it is not there, you can hold 45 press conferences, tell how great the railway works, and then you want to buy a ticket, but it is not there, and what does a press conference cost you, that’s all, these are concrete facts, that differs in times of crisis from times when people can take care of themselves appease with illusions, you know? in september , there are 20% discounts on glycyset in psyllium bam and oskad pharmacies. fm: galicia.

espresso in the evening. there is a war going on, and not only for territories, it is also a war for minds. we are engaged in propaganda. russia is throwing millions of petrodollars into turning ukrainians into little russians. ukraine will become russia. information attacks of the russians in the project of the chronicle of the information war with olga ley. tuesday thursday at 17:15, repeat tuesday friday at 22:00. saturday political club, direct ether, we are back. we have another interesting one a topic, a topic, i would say, of such a planetary scale, including scale. middle east. ongoing war, israel conducted the largest anti-terrorist raid in

the west bank, also, israel eliminated one of the commanders of the islamic jihad in the west bank in the context of this anti-terrorist operation. we see that in reality, despite all the efforts made by the international community, the war still continues. in the near east, and considering that we don't have much time, mr. vitaly, if we are talking about this, this anti-terrorist operation, this anti-terrorist raid, how successful is it, how far do you think it is now, still the situation in the middle east, the situation in israel is explosive and as close as possible to some kind of ceasefire in... some kind of agreement that so , or rather, which one would

the united states of america like to advance before the elections? i don't see any real preconditions yet for some kind of peaceful er, i would say, peaceful compromise between israel and hamas, even if it's a cease-fire, precisely because it elections in the united states, and hamas has absolutely no interest in doing to americans. such a gift, but what exactly hamas is interested in is opening several fronts with israel so that israel is distracted from the gas sector. this is also an absolutely understandable tactic. and the west bank, in israel it is called judea samaria according to ancient biblical tradition. this is the territory where hamas also has a rather serious influence. we have to remember that the hamasites were voted en masse in the west bank, too, just the majority there won votes. the fatah party, led by the current head of the palestinian authority , mahmoud abbas, but hamas was also

very popular there, and over the years this popularity only increased, after october 7 , 2023, it increased many times, because a large part of the population of the west bank, like a large part the population of the gas sector, was simply delighted with this hamas raid on the territory of israel, with the taking of hostages and the killing of people, they were simply in a frenzy with pleasure, and this... increased the authority of hamas, islamic jihad and other radical groups in this territory. i am not talking about the fact that this territory is also difficult, as we understand, there are constant conflicts between israeli settlers and residents. palestinian cities and towns that are in that territory, all of this is absolutely obvious, but israel, i would say, carried out a pre-emptive raid, because hamas obviously wanted to prepare some kind of situation that would lead to a real serious conflict already on the west bank of the river, you see that

the hamasites are constantly trying to act either through hezbollah or that way operate through the west bank, iran in it. is very interested, and israel has to literally fight back and conduct such preemptive actions to stop its enemies. you mentioned this operation in the west bank of the jordan river, and recently there was another generative intelligence operation in lebanon. do you remember when israel attacked hezbollah's positions, attacked their missile depots and was thus able to pre-empt a massive missile attack on israel. this attack happened, they were defeated. respond to the destruction of one of their own commanders of foad shukr right in beirut, as you know, he was eliminated by the israeli special services with a precise strike, but still this attack and it is not incomparable to what could have happened if israel had not bombed the hezbollah arsenals before this attack, this is such a masterful

work of special of the services of the jewish state, and that is exactly the case in the west bank of the jordan river, this is obviously an operation to... preemption, an operation that anticipated the possibility of any raids from that territory, the possibility of raids or into jewish settlements in that territory, because now any the situation can become really explosive, lead to the opening of new fronts in the middle east, and in principle, i do not see now any possibility that it will somehow stop with one simple example. there are a lot of forces that are interested, so do you remember the month? back, everyone expected an attack from iran on israel, yes, all the mass media there counted 24 hours, 48 ​​hours, there on monday, tuesday, wednesday, friday, it did not happen, but according to you, the past has already passed, well at least 30 calendar days, why is that so?

happened, and is it possible that iran took such a position in anticipation? to strike back you know i didn't really understand at the time why everybody expects why everybody expects a strike back, in order to strike back you need a missile arsenal, uh, iran was clearly using up its entire missile arsenal during the previous attack on israel, huh, and to think that he has the same number of missiles in his warehouses, with which he can deliver an adequate strike, this is also somehow very strange, huh, huh, well, this is how we expect some strikes from russia, and so you spoke on at the beginning of our conversation, the kurdish... region, the answer is, but it's not like that, everything works, russia actually already depreciated its missiles from warehouses in the first months of the russian-ukrainian war, remember when there were such massive bombardments every day over the entire territory, remember, these were missiles from warehouses, and now russia can bomb us only with what it accumulates or what it receives,

let's say from iran or north korea, well, it's clear that you don't get a special number of drones in such a situation there. north korean missiles are behind the wheel, if talk real. well, in such a situation , russia has to fire at what it produces. and in order to paralyze the air defense system, you need a large number of missiles, because if you shoot every month what you have developed, then all the missiles will knock you down and not a single missile will hit the target, it will all be completely useless. that is why russia collects missiles and after that conducts such massive attacks, a couple of days, after that these attacks. ends until the moment she produces again, gathers again, and attacks again, and c in principle, if you and i were specialists in the military proverbial complex of russia, and understood how much russia produces per rocket per month, how much it should use to paralyze at least partially the air defense system of ukraine, we

could draw up a schedule of strikes against russia ukrainian territory for the next five years, periodic. the number, the combined attack, what should be, there should be more drones, there should be more opportunities to divert the attention of air defense in this way, well, the same with iran, well, it needs to strike over israel, to collect a sufficient number of missiles and drones for a combined strike, and, i want to draw your attention, andriy, a larger number than there was, because the number that was already used. to attack israel led to the defeat of iran. none of the missiles hit the target, not a single one. so now there should be twice as many of these missiles, roughly speaking, or one and a half, i don't know, again, not an expert on missile strikes, but... for me to be an expert, i told you exactly what the number should be and for how many times they can be produced. i assure you that as soon as israel has, iran will have enough arsenals, it

will strike israel. and i will tell you one more thing, even if ismail haniyeh tehrani had not been killed, this strike would still have happened as soon as iran had enough missiles. just as the russian strike took place without any kurdish region after russia had enough missiles. this is the formula of war, which everyone who is in countries conducting military operations during the 20s of this century. mr. vitaly, thank you. thank you to our viewers, listeners, youtube viewers for watching, for being with us, and i hope we've spoken. all the most important topics for the current week, mr. vitaly, thank you once again for, thank you, and

and... it remains somewhere in the territories not controlled by ukraine, and i really hope that with your help it will be possible to find it. let's take a closer look at the photo of the missing child. jana just recently turned 17. she has long dark hair and an oval face. if anyone has seen the girl or has any information about her, please call the magnolia children's hotline immediately at the short number. 16:30 calls from all ukrainian mobile operators are free, you can also contact us at using the telegram bot of the child tracing service. i also want to remind you that we are not stopping the search for 17-year-old serhiy samoilov, who also disappeared almost in the first days of the full-scale war, but already in mariupol. the boy's mother said that life in the city was unbearable, the situation worsened every

hour. from the bombings, the family hid in the basement, but shelling was far from the only problem of the residents of mariupol. there was no internet, electricity, water, we even drank water technically, from a technical well. then the whole family was poisoned. he couldn't drink, no eat. to be honest, it was very difficult for us. all the shops were looted, there was no lift. we just sat and wanted to eat. despite all the horrors , the absence of the internet bothered 15-year-old serhiy samoilov the most. that is why the boy wanted to leave mariupol. he was very fond of computers, programs, studied, tried to develop them, created servers. that is why he left home, because there was no communication or internet at home. of course, there were also problems with water and food. he was going to go

in the direction. serhii planned to go to mother's acquaintance in pokrovsk, this is also the donetsk region, about 200 km from mariupol, and the boy's family did not dare to leave the house, so serhiy left alone, it happened on march 6, at four o'clock in the evening, my grandmother and i did not let him go, because there was a lot of shooting around, and to be honest, we didn't have anything to eat or drink even then, it was very scary. he took a shoulder bag with him, there was a computer, he dressed the way young people dress, i thought he was walking around the house and would come back. and serhiyko had already left the house, and when he had already left, i already understood what my grandmother and i did, we couldn't hold him back. currently, only one thing is known: serhii never made it to pokrovsk, the boy did not return home either, and no one knows where he is now,

serhii's mother still lives in mariupol. does not lose hope of finding his son. meanwhile , serhiy's father, who has been living separately for a long time and is now in the territory controlled by ukraine, is doing everything possible to find serhiy. look carefully at the photo of the child. if anyone knows where serhiy samoilov might be, don't delay. type with of any mobile operator, the short number of the magnolia child tracing service is 11630. calls to the hotline from any. of the ukrainian mobile operator are free, if suddenly there is no connection, write to the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram, any information is important. we have created a resource through which you can report any crime against a child. in any city, at any time, just go to the site and report, and we will launch all possible mechanisms to punish the criminal.
