the answer of the minister of defense, who budanov is subordinate to, i think that there is nothing to talk about here, i think that the minister, he has information, and this is his department, and he understands how events will develop, he was on the committee with issues of national security, defense and intelligence, under the control of which he is and where the deputies appoint him, i don't think that he would invent anything there, well, well, and nevertheless, what do you think, if it is still a matter. .. will come to resignation, where yes, if it comes to resignation, where where, where can budanov be sent, do you accept that he may agree, we are theorizing, and here we can theorize in different ways, here i can say, watching how this resignation will go, and we understand that if initially there was a desire to release budanov, yes, let's theorize with you in a veiled way, and now... they are talking about the fact that he is no longer

fired, which means that some processes have also taken place there, why are they not fired, so it is probably not just like that, and let's say this, everything will depend on if theoretically he will be released as he will be fired, this is in a good way, there is a bad way, or they will offer something, it can be anything, it is different, how will you be fired, if you write yourself, as we have a lot of reports, you will go there, you will go to some deal, if you say no, i'm all the way, but you 'll just be fired and this matter will be closed, so... you know, not for headlines, this is again, these are the realities in which we live. you are simply saying that i have no reason to believe that bodanov will be fired, because the minister himself came and said that he will not be fired. i want to remind you that my time, at the beginning of the year, david arahamia, the head of the servant of the people faction, came out to the people and wrote an open space, which is called, and wrote, i even printed it out for myself: the war dictates a new personnel policy, time and circumstances need strengthening. and regrouping

, major general kyrylo budanov will head the ministry of defense. this is rahamiya's statement for a friend on february 2, 2024, that is, it was announced in general, and then they said: oh, sorry, we made a mistake, we were in a hurry, it won't happen. therefore, you know, when you say that you came the minister to the committee and said: "no, no, no, we are not planning", this does not mean that just tomorrow his position, or the position of those who actually make decisions, can change. thank you . grounds to claim that the bank is planning to fire bodanov right now, no, i am telling you that said the defense minister, i said the defense minister. i said, i don't say what i think or

what i think, but what do you think, and you can share what you think, what i think about, whether there are plans, and here, for example, i recently also spoke with your colleague sergei rachmanin, and he said that he assumes resignation, because everyone who has a bad relationship with yarmak, everyone can hope for resignation, and it is such between the drops, very careful, but his point of view was what i believe this is what can be, i have my opinion, i say that i am hers i am speaking at the committee, because... these are people under control, including me as a member of both the committee and the subcommittee, which is just what the special services are, these are the people with whom i work, regarding, and there are some problematic issues that we have , everyone, we discuss them, we solve them, they report to us where something is possible and where something is not possible, so this is a question, of course, it is more than a comment on the air, which also concerns the reason, well, you yourself spoke about it , that budanov... be the first head of intelligence,

who is quite popular, who created there, let's say so, such a popular image around us, and we see that including the bank, everyone who is there in the acquaintance does not like it, you have seen the ratings there, when they are inserted, this is this this can be the reason for its i'm not saying to clean up there, i 'm not saying entirely from the authorities, but from such positions, because now our guru is authoritative. an organization, like the security service of ukraine, at the head of which people there perceive you as a hero. roman, i thank you very much, you were as frank as possible, roman kostenko, people's deputy, voice faction and secretary of the committee on national security, defense and intelligence. we talked so far about the probable resignation of kyril budanov. thank you. well, then we will talk about the political reasons and motives for bud's probable release. in principle, do

volodymyr zelenskyi or his team have such motives, and on the other hand, are there even the slightest signs that budanov also has political ambitions, and that is why the office wants to get rid of him, and... and whether it is reasonable in principle to compare the resignation of zaluzhnyi and the probable resignation of budanov as having aimed at clearing the field from competitors, this is what volodymyr zelenskyi's critics write about. serhii hayda, a political technologist, joins the broadcast. sergey, good evening. vlasta, glad to see you, good evening. each other here is this information, you are a political technologist and an information specialist, probably a warrior as well. this information about the resignation of budanov, which began to circulate in the news and also in anonymous telegram channels. should it be considered as such, as preparation for a real resignation, or is it possible just such a probing of the soil that it is called, well, it is very difficult to discuss, let’s say, the personnel policy of the office, because this phrase

attributed to cherchul has been mentioned many times, when he was asked about the personnel policy of the kremlin during the war, he said, it resembles the struggle of bulldogs under the blanket, it can be discussed , nothing is clear, we have to wait for someone’s pipe to be thrown away, then everything will be clear, this does not only apply to zelenskyi’s office, it was very often encountered in ukrainian politics, the motives were very unclear, why exactly such personnel decisions are made by our authorities, but if you don't mind, i remembered what i was told and am ready to share such conspiracy, political-technological, let's say, information that i have ... although i did not attach any importance to it until some time and did not really believe it, but to compare it is possible with the resignation of zaluzhny, because it seems to me that one of the reasons is very similar, it is one way or another the existing publicity and the existing rating of trust

in budanov, which was somehow created, but the nature of this rating is very different, and zaluzhny was no longer , did not show of his personal initiative to, let's say publicity, it arose spontaneously, because he was, i remember me, foreign journalists asked about it, what is the nature of the phenomenal zaluzhny, i said, well, there are at least several factors, the person who heads the armed forces, the armed forces at that time, a person who has such a smile and has such a surname and the image of such a guy from the people who became a general, she was doomed. for publicity, and budanov is a little different, some experts and insiders believe that it was created by the office itself, and it was at a time when zelensky was really considering his presence as president, as he promised in one term, he planned to leave, but

he believed at that time that by the end of his term he would win the war and retire, not resign, finish his presidency as a winner, but also in that at the time in... the president's office, his team had questions about who would replace zelenskyi, so that it would be safe for his entourage, so that , as is customary in ukraine, each new government cleans up and deals with its predecessors, accuses them of failures, and budanov was seen as one of the candidates, and that's it answered the question why the head of such a service as intelligence, which should be generally non-public, nowhere in any country... such a person is not public, in some countries they do not even know the name and surname of such a person, became so public, because he sometimes gave three interviews to well-known publications in one day, there was even a question of when he had time to work for intelligence, and i even joked and said that maybe this was an invention of ukrainian intelligence officers, to appoint

a public guy so that he would expose the fog of war as much as possible, and so that they don't ask who really manages intelligence, maybe this person is secret, but budanov stood up. public, he has his own rating, and he is very close, as sociologists say, to the president's trust rating, and the president has decided that he, at least, the war will be for a long time, if there are even elections, although no one knows when they will be, he will go for a second term, and here budanov turns from a successor, turns into a competitor, and that is why they began to talk that the guy should be removed from the public plane, so that at the moment when there may be presidential elections, and they say... about around may of the following year, such a competitor no longer existed, as zaluzhny was sent away from publicity, and now they are discussing whether it is time to remove budanov, because the project is a successor, it

has ceased to be relevant, this is the first time i have heard such a theory, to be honest, but it is interesting, to share the conspiracy theory that is circulating in our political-technological... circles, but it is interesting, yes, such internal, internal information that is circulating, and what do you say as of now about budanov's political ambitions, or does he look, does he look like a person. well, what kind of political ambitions does she have, if we are talking about any presidential ambitions, if you say that the elections may be soon, well soon, it is at least six months from now, during this time a lot can change, and at least there are leaks from the cec, that they were given an order to look, to conduct an audit of the election of the polling stations, then there is something there at least, i think it is the consequences of the president's visit to the united states, where it is important... he was advised, at a minimum, to return to democracy so that it would be significantly it's easier to lobby

help among the voters and taxpayers of the united states of america, that we are helping a democratic, democratic country, if we return to budanov, then compared to the ambitions of zaluzhnyi, i also know information there, he did not see himself in politics, at least until his resignation 100%, maybe something will change, we remember. that resignation is sometimes such a magical kick for some, the same yushchenko, for whom i worked since 2002, decided to enter politics after his resignation from the post of prime minister, and this was the main a clip where we showed how he leaves after his farewell speech and says the phrase: i left to come back, and maybe something worthy has changed, but there is definitely no worthy, he had no political ambitions at the time of his resignation, but still looks like a man...may have presidential ambitions because being in the public eye, he obviously enjoyed it and i think he

may continue to have that desire, sometimes it wasn't even quite right because sometimes, having the powers of a man, which organizes special operations, it was clear that they are done not for the sake of a real result, but for the sake of good news in a single marathon, and this , let’s say, was criticized as his main... shortcoming and sticking the flag in on the coast of crimea with a military one where there were even losses, but it is clear that he likes to be a public person, he is used to it, and it can very quickly outgrow political ambitions, it seems to me, although i say again, these are only my considerations, i do not have any specific information from budanov himself, absolutely no one has specific information from budanova, i will repeat once again that rfe /rl has been contacted. according to the official comment in gur, as soon as or if we receive an answer, we will already make it public, and from the point

of view of political technology, what options are now left in the office, as if, for example, you also see there that budanov has a political ambition , or at least he can be seen as a certain competitor, a competitor, keep him in office, he will, well, build recognition, maybe some certain ratings, if he is fired, his ratings can become ... bigger, maybe to offer the position of ambassador, that is, what scenario would you see now, if the office really makes a political decision to fire budanov, where should he go? well, i have already said, sometimes resignation is the best impetus for a political career, but it is not for what they will fire him in the office, if they want to fire him, for others, if they do not want to have him in the hands of competitors, he should be left in office, because the law forbids active military personnel, he is such, to swamp. and to take part, i remember taking part early in fate

such a military man as general kryvonis, and it was his resignation that enabled him, let's say , to declare his candidacy, if you remember, for the presidential post, and petro oleksiiovych, realizing that a competitor was being created that could even work for volodymyr tymoshenko, decided this, by giving him a position in... nsdc, and this made him, let's say, took him out of the game. any position in which, from which you are not fired, one way or another, it is worse than when you are sent to resign, you have only one way left, go into politics and prove your rightness or involvement in, let's say, the fate of the country, exactly, to which you are accustomed. you, you spoke absolutely clearly about the perspective of the elections, it is obvious to me that this is already a topic. our next broadcast will be about how realistic it is to hold elections next year, but i want to clarify with you in advance if

ukraine will hold elections, this means that some kind of agreement with russia will be signed before the elections, or not signed, but in any case combat will freeze, you meant it, you your technological vision, technically it is possible to hold an election during a war, moreover, if you approach it technologically, these elections... may even be more technologically efficient than the elections we saw before the war, the paper ones. so, we need to take the experience, the most modern experience of some estonia, where it has existed for a long time already in electronic form... all this is possible, and ukrainians can afford such elections, every step can be thought out. the only thing that relies on, and they will be safe, these elections, because if you follow the old method, polling stations, paper ballots, russia can really screw them up, they just have to get their planes up on this day, every day, and there will just be constant air, shall we say, danger,

anxiety, and no one will just come to the polls, electronically... it's can be done and there are 20 other ways to count voters’ votes safely, the main problem is our legislation, but with a majority in the parliament today, the president or the president’s team can change the legislation, which will give ukrainians the right to hold elections even during hostilities, prescribing as it is simply the legislation that was written before that, did not take into account the factor of war and prohibited it during the war, but why not allow it in its own way? countries that have held elections in times of war, in times of threat to the country's existence, starting with lincoln's historic election during the civil war, he held them, he was offered to refuse, but he said: we are fighting for democracy, so i have to prove my legitimacy precisely during the war, and he won them, and there are many examples,

ukraine can go for it, if there is political will of the authorities, to hold elections, thank you very much, we have moved on to the elections from... . serhii gaidai, a political technologist, was on radio liberty. that's all for me today, subscribe to the radio liberty channels on the internet and until tomorrow. discover the power of joint action at the 31st lviv international book forum from the third to the sixth. october in the powder tower and the center of lviv, public interviews, discussions of ukrainian foreign authors and intellectuals, presentations of new books, autograph session, children's program and the favorite night of poetry and music, join in lviv live, online in the world on october 3-6, more details at bookforum ua. the espresso library

telegram. and now, once again, i want to tell the amazing story of seven-year-old sofiyka golynska. the girl lived with her mother in odesa in the city of balta. and imagine, it disappeared at the end of 2020. the police say that abducted the child. her grandmother, lyudmila golynska. and for almost four years, it is not known where the woman is hiding the child. it was established that in december 2020, a woman abducted her three-year-old granddaughter sofya golinska in the baltsky district of odesa region. but until now, their exact location is unknown. lyudmila mykhaylivna golynska was born on april 1, 1968, height is about 162-170 cm. shil. build, limps, hair color can change, eyes are light, has visible birthmarks in the nasolabial fold. it was before version that already during a full-scale war

, the child could be taken abroad to one of the countries of the european union, and later the police said that the alleged abductor of the girl, her grandmother, could be in kyiv. of course, if you follow her trail, there is a high probability of establishing the whereabouts of the child. but sofia's grandmother carefully disguises herself and constantly changes her appearance, but i really hope that one of you will recognize her and help establish her location and, most importantly, in this way, it will be possible to find sofiyka golinska. i appeal to everyone, and especially to the people of kyiv, if anyone has seen this woman or knows where she may be, please call us immediately on the hotline of the child tracing service at the short number 11630. calls from ... all mobile operators are free, what about the seven-year-old sofia, now it is very difficult to describe her appearance, imagine, the girl's mother last saw her

little one when she was only 3.5 years old, i do not know the simple fate of my child, in what condition she is, how she looks, then she was 20 meters tall, she has blue eyes, she is dressed. was in the last time i was born with bones, people, little son kohtochka, bones herself, it was in the 20th year. of course, in more than three years , sofiyka has grown up and changed, but i don't think that it is so drastic that it is impossible to recognize her, so i really ask you to look closely at her face. the girl has big blue eyes and light blond hair. in these photos it is her. about three years, but this is one of the last pictures, where sophia is about 3.5. of course, the girl's mother also has a video of her daughter. are you

congratulations, the voice of america in ukrainian and our program chas time are on the air. my name is ostap yarysh. iran launched a massive missile attack on israel. according to the israelis armed forces launched more than 180 air strikes across the country. they were spotted in the sky over tel aviv, jerusalem, haifa and other cities. this was preceded by the beginning of the ground offensive of israeli forces in southern lebanon. iran's revolutionary guards said a massive airstrike was the answer. to kill the leaders of hamas and hezbollah. we are currently waiting for an official response from the united states. the white house said that president biden and vice president harris were monitoring the attack from the situation room. joe biden ordered that the american the military helped israel defend itself and shot down iranian missiles aimed at israel, the white house said. we move on. every tuesday in our programs, we check the clocks and talk about

the course of the election campaign in the headquarters of tonight in new york, there will be a televised debate between the candidates for vice president of the united states, senator vitogai jd vance and governor of minnesota tim walsh. although the event is expected to receive less attention than the kamolais harris-donald trump debate, according to the speeches of the candidates vice presidents, the americans will also be watching very closely. with about a month to go until election day, democrats and republicans alike are scrambling to sway voters who are still undecided about... their vote. what to expect from the vice presidential debate? we analyze with yulia yarmolenko, who monitors the democratic campaign, and tetyana voroshko, who covers news from the republicans. colleagues, i congratulate you. congratulations. yulia, let's start with you. in his first policy speech of the campaign , tim vos said he was looking forward to it look forward to a debate with his opponent jaydy vance. what might tim walz's strategy be today. julius, how does he prepare for the debate, does he know anything? dude, we know that... the main

job of any vice president or wannabe is to support, to add points to their president or presidential candidate, and the democratic campaign is expecting tim walsh to try to add to the popularity of camila harris among male voters who are undecided about whether they want her as their next president, or at all want to see a woman in that position, and we know that tim walls has him as the governor of minnesota, he's a former football coach, a former teacher, he's known for his directness, plain language, and the fact that he delivers a message based on his own experience, this is often lacking in kamela harris, who is considered by some of the electorate to be a representative of the elites, an inaccessible representative of the elites, while tim walsh has one challenge, kamela harris, we remember her speech at the presidential debates, which was very successful, and many experts about they say and so tim hair's job is to come out...

on the same level to boost the campaign, and according to people familiar with his preparation, he's quite worried that he's going to let the campaign down, even saying that when camela harris chose her candidate in vice presidents, he immediately said that he has little experience in conducting debates, we know that he has been preparing for these debates for the past few weeks, we know that buryadzic is helping him with this preparation, he is the minister of transport, and also a former candidate... that person, who is running for president in 2020, and he is called a master debater, and in particular in this preparation he plays the role of jd vance. we can also expect that another challenge for tim wallace will be jd vance trying to criticize his policies as governor of minnesota. we know that tim walls has been and continues to be quite liberal in this position , and jaydee vance in particular can

focus on issues like flying...licensing.
