deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine 2006-10 , we talked about the situation on the fronts. well , actually, what is happening these days in pokrovsk, which, let me remind you, is a large transport hub with a pre-war population of more than 60 thousand people, the city is located on the main road of the region, and it is an important supply route to other so-called combat outposts, such as then yar, kostyantynivka. see another article from pokrovsk. we are evacuating my mother, she is sick, and my sister has down syndrome since childhood, and she cannot speak normally, so no one will understand, but if someone says something to her, she will do nothing...

nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, and what? 500 m or 200, well, have you heard that you, perhaps, who could, left on their own, and such as the patient in such a condition, it is difficult to find transport and take him out by car, then it is necessary only... by special transport

and under under the supervision of a medical worker. take a bag and. this was material from pokrovsk, we are following the events at the front and will inform you in the future about what the situation will be there, and now we have another topic, well, not a month has passed since people's deputy artem dmytruk fled ukraine, if you still remember, and now it turns out that another people's deputy probably left ukraine illegally, and this is again a servant of the people, or rather an ex-servant of the people, it is about people's deputy andriy odarchenko, he is suspected of attempted bribery of the ex-head of the state agency for reconstruction and development.

infrastructure of mustafa nayem, according to the version of the investigation, odarchenko gave a bribe equivalent to $50,000 for assistance in allocating funds for repairs to the university in kharkiv controlled by him. that's why i hire odarchenko of my time handed over in november last year, odarchenko was informed of the suspicion, he was taken into custody, but the deputy was released on bail of 15 million hryvnias and even handed over his foreign passports, that is, he could not leave legally. modarchenko himself rejected the accusations, but then he was expelled from... again, then he was still expelled from the service of the people, well, today odarchenko was supposed to appear in court for questioning, but he did not appear, and later in the sap it was reported that the deputy probably fled the country, crossing the border in zakarpattia oblast. sources in the deputy's entourage, with whom spoke to rfe /rl on the condition of anonymity, they said that odarchenko was partly in transcarpathia because his family lived there, although odarchenko himself is from kharkiv. it is interesting that he actually fled three weeks after another of his fled the country.

colleague artem dmytruk, shortly after dmytruk's escape, volodymyr zelenskyi even convened a meeting with representatives of law enforcement agencies, including anti-corruption agencies, and gave them two weeks to solve problems with illegal border crossing, but it seems they haven't decided how, what fate awaits odarchenko, well, other fugitives who also left the border illegally, deputies first of all, yulia yatsyk, people's deputy from summer, good evening, good, er, good evening, yulia, and what do you think about the case of andrii odarchenko, he crossed the tisza himself and escaped through the forest, did you help? well, of course, such cases of crossing the border do not occur through official checkpoints, but working a lot, including in temporary investigative commission for transcarpathia, i know for sure that there are many passing trails there. and

many local residents who are engaged in smuggling of excise goods, so they calmly pass and know these paths, where and how to bypass the checkpoints, especially the border guards in our country. they are mostly occupied in the direction of sumy, chernihiv, and there are such stretches of the border that, well, unfortunately, due to objective factors, remain unprotected, so i think that if there was such a crossing, it was definitely not through an official checkpoint, well, it exactly not through the official one, because, because he handed over even his passports, my question was something else, he somehow went alone through the thickets across the tisza, did they still help him to do it, why am i asking this, because, for example, today in the center anti-corruption agencies made a statement, they assumed, or rather, they reported that in zakarpattia oblast, oodarchenko had allegedly established close relations with the then head of zakarpattia viktor mykyta, who was recently appointed deputy of andriy yermak, well, they allude to the fact that they said, could someone odarchenko

help, does it sound true to you, believable, could someone on the very mountain, which is called, help odarchenko to leave the country? nothing will surprise me now, but to be fair, without defending the office in any way, i believe that there are many other ways of crossing the border, including traveling with fake passports, including traveling with fake documents under the path program , we have already repeatedly discussed this at the law enforcement committee, asked questions to our border guards and the police, therefore no... i think that someone lobbied and helped him cross the border, it is clear, but what to do now, they are showing this dog there, show us odarchenko so that people will remember him, and what to do now, what should verkhovna do now council with odarchenko, what are

the options, there is a people's deputy, he is suspected of corruption, the trials are ongoing, he fled the country, and somehow now the government is fighting there, people throw up their hands, what is it called, what can the verkhovna rada do about it? circumstances, well, unfortunately, interfere with the course we definitely do not have the right to investigate, the mechanism for depriving a deputy of the mandate to represent interests is prescribed in article 81 of the constitution, and his escape across the border is, unfortunately, not a reason for depriving such a mandate, but, but, er, there are such, for example , reasons such as staying there in a permanent place. residence in another country or deprivation of citizenship or a court verdict, if, if the court still dares to issue a decision in absentia due to the fact that he avoids appearing in court and taking part in court sessions, then this may be a reason to deprive him of his

mandate, if, for example, according to other deputies who fled there in the 22nd year and are not present, do not live in ukraine for more than six months, he even... in some countries there is a year for that to obtain a certificate of permanent residence, then this can also be a reason for depriving such deputies of their mandates, if they are members of the list, then their place will be taken by others, but darchenko is not a member of the list, as far as i remember, he is a majoritarian, he is even the rector of one of the kharkiv left, and while he went to in the verkhovna rada, another person performs duties there instead of him, but he is such a quite, quite active deputy, yulia, well, look, she looks very sad. trend, but literally not even a month has passed since another former servant of the people, artem dmytruk, now odarchenko, escaped, but globally, are you thinking of doing something about it, maybe there are some ideas at the committee level, there volodymyr zelensky was gathering law enforcement officers, knocking on the table and gave them two weeks to figure it out and do something about it,

but really who can do what, are we now we all have to admit and state that no one can do anything. unfortunately, we have to admit and state that there is nothing we can do. because this is provided for in article 81 of the constitution, which cannot be changed during martial law, therefore, unfortunately, such a situation, the only thing that can be helped is by influencing, for example, on factions, on the heads of factions, on the exclusion of deputies from factions, if they are list members, they lose, well, they are not list members, dmytruk is not a list member, odarchenko is not a list member, all the people are majoritarians, entered under the banner of servants people to the verkhovna rada. well, in principle, just like you at one time, so now it turns out that nobody can do anything, and by the way, you know, yulia, the movement honestly calculated at one time that 54 people's deputies of this verkhovna rada were suspected of various criminal crimes, including those suspected of corruption crimes, 54, aren't you afraid

that at this rate, if there will be more of them, and they will all start fleeing, then the verkhovna rada will become incapacitated in general, well, maybe then they will be held... elections and people will choose more on what basis, you just quoted the constitution to me, the constitution probably also prohibits holding elections during war, during martial law, of course, during martial law we... we can hold elections , but we cannot deprive deputies of their mandate, here, well, we cannot change the constitution during martial law, we cannot influence this process. and what are the options? just imagine that now the number of deputies who escaped will increase, and you will lack the votes to approve decision, what are the real options, there is no dissolution of the verkhovna rada, ugh, dissolution of the transfer of powers. yes, can you hear me, yes, yes, i hear, i hear, ugh, dissolution,

dissolution, the only option, yes, yes, ugh, and can we return for a moment to odarchenko himself, when he was caught for a bribe, he was expelled from servants of the people, and here, by the way, we addressed him today, and the message, i must state, reaches him, we asked him where he is, whether it is true that he ran away, but he does not answer, and here i was told by some people from his surroundings. that if he continued to go to the parliament, worked, even had some close ties with yulia yatsyk, with yulia, i'm sorry, grishina, yulia yatsyk, it's you, from the servant of the people, and i wanted to ask you, and how is he himself in general did he feel in the verkhovna rada, what was his relationship with his colleagues, how much did they support him? it’s hard for me to say, i wasn’t on friendly terms with odarchenko, i can’t say who he communicated closely with or didn’t communicate with there, it’s... life, it’s, uh, definitely not the format of the parliament’s work, we come there for others

things, i can't say that there was any specific negative about him, so he really was such a more or less active deputy, he constantly wrote something about something, came up with some ideas, there was no such thing, well, what about individual representatives of this faction negative, therefore, but it did not surprise me, despite such suspicions. such actions definitely did not surprise me, and, unfortunately, i can state that there are such deputies prone to abuse their powerful powers. why, could volodymyr zelensky, as the president who brought all these deputies to of the verkhovna rada, and odarchenko, and dmytrouk, and even mykola tyshchenko, who now appears under house arrest, with a bracelet, at least. well, publicly calling on them to draw up mandates, do you think, of course he could, and i

think that if and if he did it, maybe, well, i don’t think that dmytruk, but others would listen to it, and why doesn’t he do it , well, you have to ask him, and what do you think, you worked with the servants of the people side by side under the same political force for five years, right? in five years i have seen many things for which i have an understanding there are no reasons for his behavior, so to say why he does not do it, well, unfortunately, he does not do many things that would benefit the parliament and the situation in the country as a whole, but unfortunately, we have what we have, about which you are you talking now? about making voluntary decisions regarding one's deputies, i mean. then kyryla tymoshenko, who was associated with

accusations of embezzlement of humanitarian aid and appropriation of humanitarian cars by the military, i mean those - let's say, heads of enterprises, state enterprises that were involved in public procurement of the ministry of defense, and unfortunately, the situation has already improved. more or less, but nevertheless, now during the work of the temporary investigative commission for the protection of military rights, we discover many facts of corruption and we are forced to turn to law enforcement agencies. at that time, i think that, especially since the beginning of a full-scale invasion, all this could have been cut down by willful decisions, instructions. unfortunately, this did not happen. by the way, as far as i understand, you recently returned from... the front, you visited the pokrovsky area with others, we traveled,

we traveled from dnipropetrovsk to dnipropetrovsk region to kharkiv, to be there with an inspection of operational groups of troops, checking the state of affairs, also as part of the work of the temporary investigative commission, and in including dealing with the issue of finding one of the generals who does not appear. come to us for a meeting of the temporary investigative commission, and who were you looking for? we were looking for the rector of the national academy of ground forces, which we inspected in march of this year and found many. beating of cadets, abuse, extortion of money from them, embezzlement of humanitarian aid, waste of budget funds on construction, misappropriation, transfer for safekeeping to the teachers of the academy of humanitarian cars that were intended for the military, well, a lot of things, the channel, the general, the general was found or not , they did not find him,

they hid him there with a beret, allegedly to carry out combat missions, but we... drove the entire front line and did not find him there, he evades from being summoned to a meeting of the tsk and he does not give his explanations, he, like odarchenko, has already crossed the border somewhere or not, well, no, he is resting in truskavets, yes, you already found out, yulia, i have one last question, and i know that people's deputies often during such trips , the state and quality of the fortifications are checked, i don’t know if you checked this time, but i will clarify with you, no, this time we did not check, but in the... zaporizhzhia direction at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, i know that the brigades personally directly without the support of the heads of regional military administrations made these fortifications with their own efforts, because at that time the work was completely failed, only in the 23rd year, the work more or less somehow started in the third year of full scale, unfortunately, thank you very much, yuliya

yatsyk, people's deputy of ukraine, was at radio liberty, we talked about, in particular here... more about the fugitive deputies, and it turns out that under these circumstances no one can help anyone and anything, thank you very much, that's all we have for today, subscribe to the radio liberty page on the internet, put a like this broadcast, this is how you support our work, support independent journalism in ukraine, and until tomorrow. september discounts on lactial of 20% in pharmacies psylanskyk, bam and oskad. in the latest issue of ukraine magazine, it is about the heroes who gave their lives for the freedom of ukraine. how a country honors its defenders, how loved ones are informed of a loss, how society chooses a site for military cemeteries are difficult questions that

the invasion, the city was completely occupied, and later the communication was cut off there. for almost six months, mrs. elena did not have any news about her son and only in september 2022 she received a short message from him in viber. it was september somewhere. let me remind you that on september 22, the soldiers of the armed forces almost completely liberated kharkiv oblast from the occupiers, and it was during this period that mrs. elena's son got in touch. of course, the woman tried to call artyom, wrote him more than one message in response, but all attempts turned out to be useless. the connection with the child mysteriously broke off again , and it is not known where artem kholodny is now. therefore, it is very important. your help look at the photo again and remember the boy's face. he is a very active boy, fair-haired, with such a lithe

the chas time program of the ukrainian voice of america service is broadcast from washington. i am yulia yarmolenko. congratulations. at least 9 people died and 300 were injured. as a result of a new round of explosions in lebanon. now these are walkie-talkies used by hezbollah fighters. members' pagers were detonated the day before in lebanon hezbollah group, resulting in injuries. almost 3 thousand people were detained, 12 died, including children. hezbollah accuses israel of the attacks and promises to respond. us secretary of state anthony blinken on wednesday called on all parties to the conflict in the middle east to refrain from escalation. the news comes as the top us diplomat is visiting cairo, where he is meeting with egyptian leaders to try to speed up a deal on a gas truce and the release of hostages.

natalia leonova will tell everything that is known about the events in lebanon on the eve of... the threat of a regional conflict. although israel has not claimed responsibility for tuesday's pager explosion, many are blaming the country. israeli security experts say explosives were planted in the pagers during their manufacture. it takes 1-2 grams of explosives to inflict such wounds, which is not a matter of technology, you just need to open. beeper to plant an insensitive explosive that won't go off while you you don't want that, and a little operational card that can receive commands from the outside, if we all remember how a beeper works, you just send some message from a communication tower and it goes all over the world. hezbollah ordered pagers from the taiwanese company golda polu. a representative of the company said that the pagers were actually made by the hungarian manufacturer bak. pinko

says that planning such technologically complex operations takes a lot of time. it was an intelligence operation that was very well planned for over a year and a half. israel is preparing for the promised retaliation from hezbollah, and several airlines canceled flights, but there was no panic in the country. schools and workplaces were open as usual. israeli analysts warn that a direct conflict between israel and hezbollah is likely to escalate into a regional war. and they say israel will seek us support. my guess is that we will see more attacks from iraq, hossites, even direct attacks from iran, maybe even from syria. so it's going to be a full-scale war, and we need the support of the americans. representatives of the usa say they had no advance knowledge of the alleged israeli operation and are working to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict between israel and hezbollah. israel

says it only wants its 60. evacuated residents to be able to return to their homes near the border with lebanon. natalia leonova, linda gradstein, voice of america, jerusalem. faced with an existential threat, ukraine is innovating in military technology and concepts much faster than the united states. about this hearing in the house of representatives emphasized the heads of the national defense strategy commission. washington, analysts say, should start. multi-year investments, in national security and the industrial base, to adjust priorities and more effectively use funds for national security, and to focus on the fact that deterring the enemy costs the united states much less than direct participation in the conflict. we see that russia is now waging the largest ground war in europe since 1945, but with the sledgehammer in mind. usa,

international sanctions and export control, they can only do this through funding from china. china's provision of high-precision equipment that allows the russian defense and industrial base to work in three shifts a day, 24/7. this allows them to bring death and destruction to the civilian population of ukraine with the help of missiles, drones previously provided by iran. now they come from a factory in russia built by iran. north korea also provided millions of caliber cartridges. 52mm that russia provides to these countries, we do not know the full extent, but it may include help, for example, to china with submarine technology. this can harm our traditional comparative advantage over china, and one of these advantages is exactly submarine warfare. in this way , cooperation between these four players increases. it is hard to imagine what if we were involved in a conflict, for example, in the indo-pacific region around taiwan or in south china.
