to warn with such actions, i think that even this case that happened in the moscow region with the head of one of the uav training centers, i think that this is just one of those cases, when, when, it was necessary to simply show that we have the capabilities, and we can get everyone, but are there differences in... such attempts on collaborators on the territory of ukraine occupied by russia and attempts actually on the territory of russia itself from the point of view of the law? undoubtedly, because in russia there is a very strict counter-intelligence regime and it is actually impossible to use, for example, the capabilities of the citizens of ukraine, it will all be calculated, they will be put, they will be put, for

control, and well, for sure it will be possible to say that it will be very difficult to conduct this or that special operation, well, what does this say about the professionalism of the special services , here are similar operations, these are complex operations, or if you can say so routine, no, these are very complex operations, if we take it for a complex, for a complex, what is it for... this is what the ukrainian special services stand for, then imagine what it takes get ready, get ready, what do you need, we need to find sources, we need funding, we need, well, a lot of things, factors, we need to prepare the departure of people, their safety, well, at the very end, i want to ask you, such special operations, do they provoke possible special operations in response already? on the territory

of ukraine controlled by kyiv, does this create any additional danger to what is already obvious, er, you know, we were not the first to start, here the situation is such that in white gloves, the war cannot be won, that, that, that is the main thing , everything else is derivative. thank you very much for joining us ether and commented on these recent cases of death, yes, under certain conditions that have not been fully clarified. circumstances of those who went to cooperate with russia, we were contacted by viktor yagun, a reserve major general of the security service of ukraine, and deputy head of the sbu in 2014-2015. well, now let's talk about how russia bypasses western sanctions and still purchases the necessary components for the weapons it uses in the war with ukraine through other countries. in particular, the insider publication. found out that

the equipment for means of electronic warfare and discount companies of western countries are then freely supplied to the russian federation through chinese intermediaries. it is about the supply of components of american, german and swiss production. the usa and the eu banned their export to russia last year. journalists found out that russian companies worked through chinese resellers. well, earlier bloomberg published an article about what exactly... american -made types were used in the navigation system of the iskander k missile, which on august 19 last year hit the center of chernihiv and killed seven people, including a six-year-old girl. western components in russian weapons, which were produced already after the introduction of sanctions, were found, in particular, in su fighters, as well as in iranian drones. as for other equipment of the russian army, practically every name that has electronic components for... depends on western technologies, which

still continue to enter the russian federation through intermediaries, either through china or through central asian countries such as kazakhstan and kyrgyzstan. all this became known from journalistic investigations, including the radio liberty scheme project. the head of ukrainian military intelligence, kyrylo budanov, believes that the event simply turns a blind eye to russia's circumvention of sanctions. if you open any of these missiles or drones, you will... see for yourself that they are loaded with western components. companies can say that they don't sell anything to russia, that they just sell to some middlemen there, but that doesn't change the fact that these parts are going to russia in huge volumes. well, in the context of these news, the question arises whether indeed, the us and eu sanctions are working, and if not, who is to blame and what can be done to prevent russia's military-industrial complex from using western ones. electronics,

we will talk about it later, the executive director of the independent anti-corruption commission, a member of the public anti-corruption council under the ministry of defense of ukraine, olena tregub, is in touch with us. good evening, good evening. well, there are indeed numerous journalistic investigations, but there are also official reports from the authorities of ukraine, indicating that the russian new weapons use western electronics, and does the russian military-industrial complex have any problems with getting the necessary components now, maybe they just found such workarounds, they resumed production and that's it, no problem, well, in fact, russia solves its problems with money, and. .. here are all these intermediary companies that have now started to be created all over the world, hong kong, china, we found, of course, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, armenia, and we even

found them in the seychelles, so they all make money from these sanctions, so that russia is ready to pay in ten times more for the... microchip they need for a ballistic missile, for example, and so of course she's in big trouble, i would n't say she is, to date. well , you said about armenia, i’m just a little bit, it actually surprised me, you listed the countries in which the government, well, is either neutral, if you can put it that way, or sympathizes with russia, but in armenia now relations with russia are clearly cooling, if i may say so. how do you explain why armenia chooses to make money from it as well? but you know, we are found even these companies, such intermediaries in the baltic countries, we recently had an investigation, by the way,

latvia and estonia appeared there, and journalists themselves began to make materials about it, and in canada they found such companies, because it's not, well, no... the number of such companies, that is, it's not a systemic phenomenon, and the authorities simply haven't had time to react to it somehow, and it's not a systemic policy of theirs, but there is a country that follows a systemic policy, this is the country of china , because the number of such companies that helped russia import these critical technologies before a full-scale invasion of china, russia used such companies for a while. the fourth, that is, of all the companies from all over the world, 1/4 belonged to china, and now it is already 3/4, and this indicates some kind of systemic policy, where the chinese authorities definitely know everything about it, definitely turn a blind eye, and definitely do not bear no

liability. let's really focus on china here, as we have heard from the us statements, repeatedly warned the american ones. officials china precisely from the help of russia threatened with sanctions, here in a situation where there is reason to believe that after all china is helping, as you say systematically, and russia, aren't they afraid of sanctions, or is the usa not ready to impose them? the usa does not introduce secondary sanctions, and therefore, in principle, there is a problem with the responsibility of manufacturers' companies. themselves, for example, microchips or machines, that they do not bear the same responsibility as, for example, the banking system, the banking system, even the chinese one, is already afraid of huge fines, for example, and they already have less

dealing with russia, well, banks, and that's why we talked about a systemic solution that will affect china as well, because... if these are huge companies, manufacturers that have their offices there in china and in other asian countries around the world, if they are afraid that their component will end up in a rocket and for that, by law, they can be forced to pay a fine of billions of dollars there, then they will check the supply chain 100 times to make sure that it does not go to russia, but such legislation is currently in place. there is no before for everything is in the united states of america, because i remind you that most of these technologies in e shahads 85%, in fighters 65%, are of us origin, and this issue, unfortunately, is not resolved,

the usa, well, china is a separate topic, it a big geopolitical player, and don't forget that we ukrainians are also forced to buy components for our drones, also from china, which doesn't sell them very well to us either, to put it mildly, because there is already data that china's export control blocks if they know that it is for ukraine, that is why it is so delicately diplomatic. question and play this game, that china is neutral and it sells to everyone who needs it, well, for now we decided to continue, and that’s it, i draw the conclusion from what you say that the usa promised, imposed sanctions on china, and then just didn't keep their promise, they, they didn't threaten china directly, i don't, i don't see that, they just did. they had some trips, some meetings, yes , such statements were unpleasant, but

i did not see any clear specifics, maybe it will be changed after the presidential elections, but i want to to emphasize that china can answer them that most of the electronics in these weapons are in your american companies, so you will deal with your ... american companies first, and then you will impose sanctions on china, and this is such an argument that is quite serious and, well, complicated politically, because it is difficult to deal with big businesses, because america is a capitalist country, where any government, american, if it begins to interfere in the economic activities of commercial companies, will be perceived, well, not well, and they are afraid to touch this topic in general, and on the other hand, well, you understand. who owns the external debt of the usa and china is, moreover, the largest

trading partner of a very large number of democratic countries in the world. well, indeed, but both sides are interested in this economic cooperation, both the usa and the eu, and china itself, as well as the minimum sales market. and tell me , please, the situation with the fact that private companies, american or canadian, yes, they work. agents in china or somewhere else , and the authorities may not want to reluctance to regulate their own businesses at home, we see the same situation in the eu, have really increased, i actually wrote about it, and my colleagues from the scheme project talked about the fact that european companies in private increased their turnover with countries with which they did not trade in such volumes before, in particular with kazakhstan and kyrgyzstan. in the eu , their own companies can do something about this, well, introduce such

a regulation that would oblige them to check where the final, final product goes? eu in fact, it is closer to this, because the eu adopted a directive on criminalization, evasion of sanctions, and i see that companies in the eu have started to get more serious about these issues, because, for example, i will remind you that here is ours. .. the naco organization, we have already published about six different reports on various types of weapons, and companies appear there, switzerland appears there, the netherlands constantly appears, france appears, britain appears, and before that all these european countries, not necessarily from the eu, they, well, their companies almost did not react to these reports, and now i see that they are becoming more reactive and ... denying this information, proving that these microchips are no longer produced, that they are some

old stocks that have been resold, that they are fakes, they are starting to worry, and this shows that it is already possible, they are really afraid of more responsibility, and that's why they are, that's why i think that europe will be the first to show this result and then america will start to follow it too, because there is also a country like that... .taiwan, yes , they generally said that, well, their microchips there are also in russian weapons, a lot, and they said that they will give grants to their manufacturing companies so that they hire specialists, investigators who work in compliance departments, and they investigate, check customers, make zoom calls with them there , checked what kind of people buy from them, well, in short, everyone. tracked the chains, it costs money, it takes a lot of time, and the taiwanese said, for example, they promised that they would decide this way,

well, this is obviously one of the options, how can this solve the problem, and if we talk about the dependence of the russian weapons production complex on western electronics, and if , at least as of now, after talking with you, i have the impression that right now it is impossible to block the channels of supply... of the necessary electronics, then if you imagine, that in the future it will become a reality, and can russia even produce these weapons without western components? no, i can't, you... the technology, the kinds of microchips that they need, are not produced by china or russia, they are very high-tech, they are very expensive, there is a microchip, for example, we found one, literally yesterday, it costs 89 dollars,

one microchip, that is, these are such technologies that, well, they simply do not exist today in countries other than democratic countries, first of all in the west , and if it says the east, then it means taiwan, korea, the south and japan. thank you very much, we were contacted by olena tregu, the executive director of the independent anti-corruption commission, we actually talked about western components in russian weapons. this is the end of svoboda live. i thank you to you who watched, and to us. i ask you to like this broadcast if you watch us on the internet, in this way more people can see our work, and i also encourage you to subscribe to the pages of radio liberty in social networks, bye, you love to learn, do it for the sake of

nine-year-old khrystinka yusupova is on your screens. the girl lived in kharkiv oblast, bordering russia. in the city of vovchansk. information about the child's disappearance appeared as early as june 2022, but since then there has been no information about the child's possible whereabouts. i really hope that with your help the girl will be found. let's take another look at her photo. khrestinka has a round face, short blond hair and brown eyes. in this photo, the girl is much younger than nine, but this one is not... it's surprising, because more than two years have passed since the disappearance of the child. if anyone has seen khrystynka yusupova, or knows where she might be now, call us immediately on the hotline. service. search for magnolia children by short number 11630. calls from any ukrainian mobile operator are free. if suddenly there is no connection or

an opportunity to call, write to the chatbot search services for children in 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, she disappeared at the end. of 2020 . the police say that the child was kidnapped by her grandmother, lyudmila holinska. 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 kidnapped her three-year-old granddaughter sofya golynska in the territory of the baltsky district of the odesa region. but until now, they are accurate location unknown. lyudmila mykhaylivna gollynska was born on april 1, 1968. height about 162-170 cm, dense build, limp is healing, hair color can change, eyes are light, has visible moles in the area of

​​the nasolabial fold. previously, there was a 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 go to her... there is a high probability that it is also the place of the child's stay, but sophia'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 golynskyi. i appeal to everyone, and especially to kiyan, if anyone has seen this woman or knows where she may be, please call us immediately on the hotline from... the child tracing service on the short number 11630. calls from all mobile operators are free. what about seven-year-old sofiyka. 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. at that time, i do not know about myself, the fate of my child, what condition she is in, how she looks, then she was 20 meters tall. she had blue eyes, she was dressed for the last time in her maternity clothes, young dishcloths, a little blue hair, with with two tails, everything 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. in girls big blue eyes and light blond hair, in these photos she is about three years old, but this is one of the last pictures, where sofia is about 3:5, of course,

the girl's mother also has a video of her daughter, well, you are a grown-up girl already, hey not but, but, not but, but, i remind you that sofiyka is now seven years old, of course, she already speaks normally and expresses her thoughts, if you see a child who looks like her somewhere, or see her grandmother, who is suspected of abduction of a child, do not delay and immediately dial the short number of the child tracing service magnolia 11630. calls from any mobile operator are free.

on the air from washington, the ukrainian voice of america program chas time, i'm yuliya yarmolenko, congratulations. washington and kyiv are preparing for the meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine, which will take place next saturday in germany. us president joe biden will take part in the meeting personally and will gather other leaders of states that have pledged to help ukraine militarily. us secretary of state anthony blinken discussed preparations for the meeting by phone with the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine andrii sybiga. according to the state department, they also discussed the continuation of assistance to strengthen and strengthen ukraine's energy sector this winter. the situation on the battlefield and the upcoming ramstein meeting, as reported in the pentagon, were the topics. telephone conversation between the ministers of defense of the two countries: lloyd austin and rustem umyerov. the head of the pentagon confirmed president biden's commitment to increase security assistance to ukraine and reiterated that

the united states... along with more than 50 allies and partners will continue to provide ukraine with the support necessary to protect its freedom and sovereign territory. it is significant that literally during his first visit and his first meeting, the new general secretary visited zelenskyi in kyiv. so this is a very good sign. at the same time, he made it clear that the decision to provide equipment, be it javelin anti-tank systems, bradley tanks. 16 or atakams are accepted at the national level. this is not a nato decision. in fact, there is no such thing as a nato weapon. these are all weapons of different countries. rutta emphasized the national one prerogatives regarding the imposition of restrictions, in particular , regarding the decision of the united states. he doesn't support such restrictions now, but he doesn't really have the authority to do so. this was douglas luth's comment, which he considers an important sign

of continued support for ukraine. the visit of the new nato secretary general mark rutte to kyiv in the first days in office. douglas lud, he says that at the same time, the new head of the alliance emphasized that the decision to provide weapons to ukraine and the conditions for their use is made by the allies at the national level. and actually the general lt. lude believes that the united states should make it a priority to supply ukraine with new long-range weapons made in the united states, just as washington has done with air defense missiles. delaying the delivery of certain types of ordered weapons for other countries. another important step is the removal of geographical restrictions on the use of these missiles. he also disagrees with the pentagon's argument that the united states should keep its own stockpiles of atakams in case of future conflicts. i think the ministry of defense due to bureaucratic inertia tends to keep

a large reserve, especially the atakams. but also other long-range systems for potential contingencies in the future, and in particular to ensure the deterrence of a chinese attack on taiwan. and it's a little crazy that we're saving systems for some imaginary future war when we have a real war right now. lockheed martin produces 500 such missiles a year. they are working at full capacity. most of these missiles today go to foreign military funding and for foreign military contracts. majority. none of them go to ukraine. today we sell and supply atakams morocco. thus, one immediate policy decision the administration could make would be to deprioritize atacams supplies from standard contract sales to foreign countries to sales to ukraine, just as the administration deprioritized patriot missile supplies a few months ago. prioritize ukraine and combine this with a political decision to lift

the geographic restriction. and this will significantly change the dynamics on the battlefield in two ways. first, it would help air defenses as it would compromise launch sites. and secondly, it would isolate the russian federation by attacking their logistics. russian logistics are traditionally railway. we could attack rail hubs and isolate the russian army of occupation by cutting off their logistics. request of the president of ukraine. volodymyr zelensky for partners to help shoot down iranian drones and russian missiles over ukraine. as they did so during the iranian attack on israel this week, remains without a positive response. the day before, my colleague ostap yarysh asked at a briefing at the pentagon why the us is not ready to help ukraine the way it does for israel? president zelensky called on nato allies to help intercept iranian missiles and drones over

ukraine, as they do with israel. can the us and allies help ukraine with this, if it is possible with israel, why can't they do it with ukraine? i appreciate the question, but we are talking about two very different landscapes and battlefields. at the very beginning, when russia invaded ukraine, the president instructed this ministry to provide ukraine with the necessary on the battlefield. they are very successful in using air defenses or other means to reclaim their territory. minister austin just had. phone conversation with mr. umirov to get new information about the combat situation and better understand if they need new means and what exactly. the president pledged that the united states would not have military presence in ukraine, but we support ukraine in its efforts to regain its sovereign territory. shooting down targets from, say, polish or romanian territory would be considered a military presence in ukraine,

preparing us for war in a different way.
