this unit and change the operational actions 50 to 50, i.e. 50 servicemen who, for example, have combat experience and 50 new ones who have just gone through combat coordination, basic military training, they join them, but will this affect the combat line , yes, the first time it will be affected, but as practice has shown, i was not a soldier before the war, before the full-scale invasion of the territory of ukraine, we went to irpin, gostomel, without any basic... experience, our battalion was from north donetsk , i repeat, we didn't have any combat experience, so i think that any civilian, he will develop there, well, it 's elementary, you join the army, you start to understand the whole essence and you learn very quickly, i.e. not in the rear, namely on the front line of combat, with the basic skill a person begins to think differently and... ensure his

existence. thank you very much, yevgeny, yevhen oropai, skif, crew commander of unmanned aircraft complexes. we talked about serhii hnezdilov's act. yevgeny does not support him, although he admits that the military is tired. thank you very much. thank you. well, i will remind you that the verkhovna rada actually removed criminal liability for the first zz, if, for example, the military, the soldier left the military unit. but then he returned on his own and the commander allowed him to continue his service, well, in this case , no one punishes anyone, well, it is likely that this was done in order to minimize the consequences of such a problem as war crimes and desertion, and by the way, in legal terms, these are two different the concepts of szh and desertion, although they are very similar, what exactly is the difference what is the punishment for both these acts, we have prepared a short reference for you, take a look. cz is the arbitrary leaving of a military unit or non-appearance. service

without valid reasons for more than three days during martial law. in peacetime, the implementation of the szch comes with administrative responsibility. in the military - criminal, i.e. currently , servicemen who voluntarily leave the military unit can be punished in the form of imprisonment from 5 to 10 years. there is one more in the criminal code of ukraine article desertion. in fact, this is also the arbitrary abandonment of a military unit, committed under the conditions. martial law, but it is already punishable by imprisonment from 5 to 12 years, so the szh is considered more like a temporary leaving a military unit without the permission of the commander, while desertion is a deliberate leaving of a military unit in order to avoid military service. it is worth noting that on august 20, the parliament approved the law, which proposes not to punish the first szch or desertion, if the soldier himself returned and the commander until... allowed

continue service. lyudmila buimister, non-factional people's deputy, joins our broadcast. i congratulate you. good evening, lyudmila. yes, i congratulate you. yes, and i will say for our audience that you are exactly one of those deputies who mobilized. and, as far as i remember, you were released precisely for the parliament session, but you spend time in the army. to what extent is the problem of szch and desertion a state? is now widespread in the army, today it is a very serious problem, especially considering that you know how we have very positive cases when in our country, people often go from the rear to join their brothers at the front, which happens here mostly because people cannot choose which units to fight in when mobilizing.

eh, yes, there is a huge problem with the fact that when people go to the central military district, there is currently no effective mechanism for their return to the battlefield, or at least punishment, so you talked about legal responsibility for voluntarily leaving a unit or deserters, let’s look at the statistics state bureau of investigation, which should deal with these cases, because these are their powers, so that our state bureau of investigation officially leaves. and says that they don't initiate criminal proceedings for desertion or desertion, because they are trying to return these people to the front in some other illegal way. there are no other ways than the legal one, there are no other ways than the primo, unfortunately, everyone admits it, mobilization is a primos. the very coercion, it should be carried out

by the authorities at the state institution, which is not happening today, and you know, that's what the worst thing is that those guys who stay on the battlefield and hear... from their brothers that i live at home, no one is looking for me, no one comes for me, well, they feel that we, we are stupider than others, and that's why this lack of an element of punishment for szh and desertion, it leads today to very negative consequences for the moral and psychological state of that personnel, remains at the front, there the connection disappeared a little, but did i understand you correctly that there is a problem of szh and desertion, it is very serious, but even so on paper and in the criminal code , some ways and methods of punishment are prescribed, in practice they are absent, and people who go to szz, they

can call their former comrades there from home and say: look, i am already resting and no one is looking for me, i i understood you correctly, yes, yes, and it is demoralizing. soldiers who today remain in the trenches and think that we are worse than everyone else, and therefore we definitely need to correct this particular model of punishment, ugh, i'm like you, and how can it be corrected, maybe simply, maybe there should be some separate unit in the sbi or somewhere else that will deal with this, well, from the quick, but unrealistic ways, it is... to make the sbi work and fulfill its functional duties, and if we talk about the correct system of discipline control in general in the armed forces of ukraine, then in all civilized nato countries, there is a special system of military or military

justice for this purpose, where there is a military police, a military prosecutor's office, which are part of the structure of the ministry of defense, which are part of the structure of the army, and which control legality. there are treatment of servicemen of our own country during hostilities, we have ratified the rome statute, i really like the rome statute, i really hope that it will not be the tatarivske dbr, because then, unfortunately, we will not have much left of the rome statute, they cannot even to work on existing proceedings, therefore the question of reproduction is critical today. the system of military justice, there are draft laws on this and we talked about it, people, we talked about punishment, let's then return from punishment to the real problem that exists, i asked you how massive it is, you said that the problem is serious, but i wanted to check the numbers with you, the same serhiy

hnezdilo, an act that we will discuss with you right now, he slandered himself on social networks about 80 thousand military personnel, who went to the szh or defected, this figure... could be true? i think it is somewhat understated, not much, but somewhat understated. ok, then the next question: serhiy went to szz, he did it publicly, demonstratively, his comrades condemned him, his brigade condemned him, but he says that he did it because he wants to draw attention to the establishment of clear terms of service, that the military is tired, they need rotation, rest. and so on, do you think it is realistic to implement what sergey himself is talking about now? we have something to do with the connection, i think, because lyudmila, i stopped hearing, lyudmila, can you hear me, i

can hear you well, you can hear me, great, now i can hear you, yes, yes, yes, yes, i i hear you well, look, i believe that any public... cannot violate the legislation of ukraine be justified by any front problems that we have today, because we have problems on the front, we talk about it frankly, openly, but this does not mean that someone has the right not to carry out the order, because if by such logic everyone at the front will be controlled, so what will we come to, that everyone will leave their positions tomorrow? who does not agree with today's policy or there today's procedures in the ministry of defense or in the armed forces. on the other hand, it is in order to solve the problems that mr hnezdilov, but these are issues that we all

know, yes, it is the need to speed up the mobilization of recruiting in the country so that we have a second package of troops, a second set of troops that can replace. our combat brigades on the front line and give them at least a break. yes, today we will not be able to talk about any clear terms of service, because do we know how long the war will last? do we... know that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or in 5 years russia will change and we will stop fighting? no, we don't know, but what we have to know and we have to plan, this is the resource that we are directing, including to replace that resource that is tired today , the human resource on the frontline, they need to be replaced, and we are ready to consider the bill of changes to the age of 18 today. the connection was lost, the connection was lost, i did not hear

what bill you said now, are we ready to consider the bill, i say, there are a number of political decisions, difficult, political ones, which, for example, would allow us to quickly create a second set of troops, ugh, this is, for example, lowering the mobilization age from 25 to 18 years, so that we can give, for example, 2-3 years. our new defense forces to train, prepare and go in, replace our units today at the front line, but today we are not politically ready to consider this, i will tell you honestly, no one, neither the government nor the opposition, unfortunately, just like us when we are talking about some realities, we must understand that any war is numbers, these are the numbers of the human resource, which or capital, which we have available, and the weapons which... we can get from partners or develop it ourselves, so we

can raise the issues of all these problems as much as we want, when we start to solve them, this will also increase the motivation of people to join the armed forces of ukraine, when we will show that we are at least moving towards their solution , lyudmila, did i understand you correctly, you say that in order to solve the problem of resting there or to establish clear terms of service for people who are already in... and start a conversation about mobilization of people younger than 25 years? no, i am talking about the fact that without increasing the current pace of mobilization, it is impossible to do this. how to increase the current pace of mobilization, there are a number of unpopular political decisions, i gave as an example, yes, how it can be increased. the pace of mobilization, but again, without a fundamental reform of the armed forces, without us starting to work very

closely with our partners every day, in order to transform the armed forces of ukraine into a real nato army, in terms of provisioning and in terms of procedures, in terms of saving lives personal personnel, as a priority of the troops, because in every nato army, the preservation of personnel is the main priority. because each person in the armed forces is worth 10-20-50 patriots, heimmars and everything else, because this person must be taught for years, but let me have it, but let me clarify the last one, look at the resource inside country, look when eight months, 7 months ago, the verkhovna rada adopted a bill on mobilization, then on the last day the clause on demobilization was thrown out, then the ministry of... promised that in 8 months we will create a new bill, which will provide for clear

terms of service and the possibility of demobilization, here i am for eight months, in the verkhovna rada, or in the government in general, this is being mentioned now, are there still such plans, or are there already, and it is worth to forget about it, to my great regret, i have to... state that apparently our relationship with lyudmila has gone bad again. lyudmila, can you hear me? i hear you, yes, great, you can answer, we don't have much time left. yes, i say that in general talk about demobilization during the war, i will very much honestly, simply with ukrainian society, it should be considered exclusively as a mistake of our government when submitting a draft law on mobilization, which, unfortunately, was used by both the opposition and the government in order to... deliver popular messages to the people, but we we must all understand that the process of demobilization is

, first of all, not one day, and even after the end of hostilities, it will not be the case that all the armed forces will go to rest on one day, there will be stages of demobilization related to security tasks stabilization period and so on, and what we should talk about today is not about demobilization, but about the creation of a combat-ready second set of troops. which can replace our tired brigades on the front line and send them not to defend the belarusian border while they are being equipped, but to send them to real rest. actually for staffing and training for at least six months, and then we will talk about a combat-ready army, thank you for joining our broadcast, lyudmila buimister, people's deputy of ukraine and also a servicewoman of the armed forces, was on radio liberty, we talked about the armed forces, demobilization and mobilization. thank you. that's all for today, i urge you to subscribe to

there is no information about their whereabouts. so please, if you know anything about emelina. and angelina polushenykh, immediately report to the hotline of the child tracing service at the number 116 30. if you are unable to call, for example, you are under occupation, then you can write to us on facebook, instagram or to the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram, and i want to draw the attention of the residents of the temporarily occupied territory, we guarantee your anonymity. and once again we want to share with you the encouraging story of the search for six-year-old mysh melnyk, which once again proves that it is possible to find a child even in the most difficult, seemingly hopeless situations. so, we've been looking for the mouse since march 2022, and for a long time there was no news about him. we made a lot of

programs about the search for the boy, we talked about him history and asked to report any information you know about mishka. and when it seemed that there were almost no chances left, a witness wrote in a telegram to the chatbot of the children's search service, saying that he knew the whereabouts of mysh melnyk. here's the message we got, let's take a look. mishko is in kindergarten, in the village of grechyshkino, his grandmother brings him there. we have photos. we asked the witness for details, and he confirmed that the boy allegedly lives in the occupied village of grechyshkine and goes to the kindergarten. they also sent us a photo and even video with a boy. kindergarten in the village of hrychyshkino. it is located right at the school. he is alone there, it is called. we congratulate you on the holiday. and this is a photo that we had for

almost two years of searching. if we compare with the ones sent to us by the witness, the boy is indeed very similar in both photos. we were also helped in the search by osin specialists who search for information in open sources. they managed to find a page on the russian social network classmate. of mishko melnyk's probable mother. here she is, and here she is, together with little mouse. and this is a photo of a boy already at a slightly older age. by the way, the last photo of mishka was posted by his mother on her page in february 2023. so, judging by the message of the witness, the photo and video he provided, as well as the social network of the boy's mother, everything points to the fact that, fortunately, everything is fine with the miller mouse. he is probably in the village of grechyshkine, luhansk region under occupation. of course, we wrote to mami myshka on a social network, but we have not yet received

a photo or video confirmation from the woman that the boy is really with her. so i am asking everyone, especially the residents of the occupied village of hrychishkina in luhansk region. if you see this program, please check whether teremok is really in kindergarten on... if possible, take a photo or video with him and his mother and send it to us in the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram. you can also contact us by short number 11630. calls from all mobile operators in ukraine are free. we have created a resource where you can report any crime against a child. in any city. time, just go to the site and let us know, and we will run all possible mechanisms of criminal punishment. stopcraim.ua.

congratulations, the program of the ukrainian voice service is on the air. oleksiy kovalenko. the united states will support ukraine until ukraine achieves victory and lasting peace based on the principles of the un charter. this was stated by us president joe biden in his speech at the un general assembly. my colleagues yulia yarmonko and iryna solomko will talk about the main results of the general assembly and how the visit of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi to the usa is going. i congratulate you, colleagues yulia, first to you, you did you listen today? speeches in the general assembly, what did the american president talk about and, in particular, what did he say about ukraine? oleksiy,

of course, this speech by the american president was extremely important for several reasons: firstly, it is joe biden's last speech as president before the un general assembly, and secondly, of course, now is a very important, critically important moment for ukraine, when the ukrainian the president comes to the united states to garner more support. and by supporting his own plan of victory, which he brought to the united states. what i noted for myself today from the speech of the american president is that despite the fact that he spoke about wars, conflicts, about the challenges that are currently in the world, his speech was optimistic, focused on the future, he definitely mentioned the achievements or what he considers to be the achievements of his presidency, how he, in particular, rallied the world around helping ukraine counter russian aggression, but he also talked about the fact that... that now a lot of people look at what is happening in the world with despair, but he says: i refuse to take it that way, he said that if we work together,

together, that is, all the countries that are members. un in order to overcome all these challenges. he says: i look at it with hope, and he especially mentioned ukraine today. yes, he is leaving his post, but he believes that not only the united states, but also all the countries of the world, should continue to support ukraine. he said that now is not the time to be weary, and he called on all un countries to respect the un charter, help uphold the un charter, and actually helped ukraine until ukraine won. victory and will not win this just and lasting peace. let's listen to the american president today. the good news is that putin's war, which is his main goal, has been defeated. he decided to destroy ukraine, but ukraine is still free. he intended to weaken nato, but nato is bigger, stronger, more cohesive than ever

before, with two new. finland and sweden. but we cannot give up. now the world has another choice: will we continue to provide our support to help ukraine win this war and preserve its freedom? shall we go and allow the aggression to be renewed, the nation destroyed. i know my answer. we cannot tire, we cannot turn away, and we will not give up our support for ukraine until ukraine wins. just and durable peace, in accordance with the un charter. thanks to the peaceful summits, ukraine and its partners are trying to defeat the destructiveness of russia and its allies, said president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi during a speech at summits of the future. iro, you followed the statements of the ukrainian president, what else did you hear and what do you know about the meetings of the ukrainian president with the community. yes, oleksiy, in fact,

this is such a site, and a general one. the assembly is a high week of debates, it is a great opportunity for all the leaders of the countries to meet, to talk about the forks that exist, and of course, for the ukrainian president, he came here with a certain, with a certain agenda, this is the agenda, of course, first of all the so-called victory plan of volodymyr zelenskyi, he announced that he presents it here to partners at the general assembly, respectively, yesterday, for example, i spoke during a press conference with joseph borel, the chief european diplomat. said that they are very much waiting for the president to show, because at the moment there is only information, this is the facade of this plan, and they really want to hear what is inside, and that is why they talked a lot about it yesterday, today, and we will probably hear more tomorrow about it from the president, when he will speak directly on general assembly, when he spoke at the peace summit yesterday, he basically talked about the fact that he mentioned the second peace summit that ukraine is preparing, and there is also

information that it is possible, that... the summit will probably take place - after all, in a country of the global south, india is also called among these countries, and while speaking , the president spoke about the fact that it is very important to consolidate this global global south, in particular, he also spoke about african countries, that there should be this united voice in the context these global challenges, if you look at the list of meetings held by the ukrainian president, you can see that he is really focused on key partners, that is, great britain, and the united states in the global south, and yesterday... also the president had a meeting with the ukrainian community, there were also a lot of questions raised in the context of this victory plan, accordingly, also about the kurdish region and what was, that is, what will be the policy of ukraine in this context, but there were also questions about nato and these two issues, why i them i mention this, because according to the information of journalists, they are in this plan for the victory of volodymyr zelenskyi, thus answering the question whether there is an alternative to nato, and if , in principle, in this context, it cannot

guarantee and... ukraine's quick membership, and the president was very categorical about these prospects, you can hear now. i believe that we, ukraine, have never been so close to the alliance as today, and this is true. a little more determination, and everything will work out for the two countries. we are not looking for an alternative to nato, i will tell you frankly, because it is very important for ukraine, for the future, for the real future of ukrainians. iro, and to another topic that is currently being very actively discussed, it is strikes with western weapons deep into russia. you have an opportunity

to... ask questions about this to the minister of foreign affairs
