[00:00:00] This is not very logical, first of all, and secondly, [00:00:03] it is completely impossible [00:00:05] to control. And if there are any [00:00:09] regulations that cannot be controlled, then [00:00:13] people simply ignore them. [00:00:17] Therefore, if there are new rules [00:00:20] of conduct during air raids, [00:00:24] then there must be control over the observance [00:00:27] of these rules and there must be punishment. [00:00:31] Otherwise, it's just [00:00:33] some shaking of the air and nothing [00:00:37] more. [00:00:39] People, it's clear that they have not yet [00:00:43] adapted to the new changes, and [00:00:46] this, [00:00:49] unfortunately, the authorities are not doing enough here, besides [00:00:53] announcing two levels of alerts, obviously [00:00:57] more detailed explanatory [00:01:00] measures are needed, and [00:01:03] still, I will say that there must be a regulatory framework, [00:01:07] because without it, [00:01:10] all these are good intentions. Well, is this regulatory framework [00:01:14] to be approved by the Kyiv City State Administration, or should this be [00:01:17] an initiative of the government itself, which comes from above, in your [00:01:20] opinion? [00:01:23] Well, you see, the government's initiatives are too [00:01:27] general. I we need to transfer [00:01:31] the maximum number of powers to the local authorities, so that [00:01:34] it is not only the Kyiv City State Administration. In fact, in [00:01:37] Kyiv, security is handled by [00:01:39] the Kyiv Air Defense, which includes [00:01:43] both the city [00:01:46] administration, and the military administration, and [00:01:48] representatives of the State Emergency Service. [00:01:52] This is the body that makes decisions regarding [00:01:55] security. This is on one hand. On the other [00:01:59] hand, if the authorities cannot [00:02:01] ensure, [00:02:05] well, at least, let's say, ensure [00:02:08] the full security of citizens, then [00:02:11] citizens must be given [00:02:13] the opportunity to decide for themselves, to take [00:02:17] measures, how to act. [00:02:20] Well, there are many initiatives, for example, [00:02:23] Mr. Korean Prime Minister said that it is necessary to [00:02:26] control the cost of taxi services [00:02:30] during air raids, but this is absolute [00:02:33] fantasy. It is impossible to control [00:02:37] thousands of taxi cars that operate in [00:02:41] Kyiv, and monitor their rates, [00:02:44] and in the best case, if control is imposed on them, [00:02:48] then the taxis will simply [00:02:52] declare an Italian strike, meaning they will not [00:02:55] work, they will not drive at all. Mr. [00:02:58] Koretsky, he came from business. Well, he should understand that such [00:03:01] non-market methods simply do not [00:03:05] work. [00:03:08] You see, he came from Naftogaz, [00:03:11] where there is a huge staff, huge [00:03:14] money, all his subordinates [00:03:16] depend on [00:03:20] his will. Therefore, he believes that he just needs to wave [00:03:24] his finger and everything will be as he [00:03:27] said. But well, with taxi drivers, let's [00:03:30] leave this story, but the idea itself, how to ensure for [00:03:34] people who do not have the opportunity, do not have, for example, their own [00:03:37] cars, how to ensure movement for them, when those [00:03:41] alarms just ended, I understand, this bottleneck appears, [00:03:44] when everyone literally goes out and goes to some [00:03:48] tram stops, hypothetically speaking, which resume movement, and here [00:03:51] it is impossible to get on, it's just impossible to get on. Roman, you [00:03:55] know, well, maybe I'll say some [00:03:58] rebellious things. But if [00:04:01] public transport is allowed to move across bridges, [00:04:05] there are two critical bridges, this is Podilsko-Voskresensky and [00:04:09] Southern, if buses and [00:04:12] cars are allowed to move there, [00:04:15] then I don't see much sense in not allowing metro [00:04:19] movement, in the end, the risk will be the same, [00:04:22] and obviously some measures should [00:04:26] be taken to generally ensure [00:04:29] safe movement across [00:04:32] bridges, maybe the metro line [00:04:36] should be protected with drone [00:04:39] nets, or install opaque [00:04:42] screens over this line, after all, we know that [00:04:46] the Russians protect [00:04:49] the Crimean bridge with smoke screens, maybe [00:04:52] we also need to simply, [00:04:55] trivially protect, mm-hmm, [00:04:58] our bridges. with smoke screens, [00:05:02] so here we need non-standard new [00:05:06] approaches, but it seems to me that the problem is that [00:05:09] no one, everyone is afraid to take the initiative, so that later... [00:05:12] they have to answer for any consequences, that's the impression I have now, but I also wanted [00:05:16] to ask about something else, [00:05:18] namely this story with what's it called, [00:05:21] the University of Intellectual Property, which is connected with [00:05:25] Mr. Kivalov, by the way, this story today, that [00:05:28] there [00:05:30] count, yes Mr. count, yes [00:05:34] we are known. Well, you see, [00:05:36] this means that society is not [00:05:40] ready for new realities. If [00:05:44] the leadership, seemingly smart people, educated, [00:05:47] experienced, have, have gone [00:05:50] through a long life path, if they allow themselves [00:05:54] such blunders, this means that they simply do not [00:05:58] realize [00:06:01] unsafe situations, it simply turns out that no one could, [00:06:04] no one could say that it is simply dangerous, all this happened during [00:06:08] an air raid, and this is not a simple air raid, today ballistic missiles [00:06:12] are flying. Reactive drones, anything [00:06:14] you want, [00:06:16] excuse me, but we don't have such a controlling [00:06:19] body, that's why I talk about [00:06:22] normative acts, if the Cabinet of Ministers [00:06:25] had entrusted the same National Police [00:06:28] with the duty to control public events, [00:06:32] interrupt, fine, that is, a whole [00:06:36] normative base is needed here, to [00:06:39] force people, leaders... [00:06:43] officials, to act in a certain way, and now, well, they [00:06:46] gathered, and they bear no responsibility, except [00:06:50] for real, they don't, we, but that's wrong, [00:06:54] it seems, it seems yes, after 5 years of war, this time is finally [00:06:57] coming, to gather such a regulatory framework, thank you for the conversation, [00:07:01] Oleksandr Serhiienko, was the director of the analytical research center, [00:07:04] Institute of the City, five people were injured as a result [00:07:08] of enemy shelling by Russians, three medics were hospitalized, [00:07:11] the enemy struck a high-rise building in Kyiv, in [00:07:14] Darnytskyi district, the hit occurred at the level [00:07:17] of the 11th-12th floors, a fire broke out [00:07:20] and destruction. All relevant services are working at the site, [00:07:24] reports Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko. Meanwhile, [00:07:28] rescuers extinguished all fires that arose due to [00:07:31] night enemy attacks on Kyiv. As a result [00:07:34] of the hit in Darnytskyi and Holosiivskyi districts, trucks [00:07:37] and a garage caught fire, at another location a two-story [00:07:41] residential building burned, in Solomianskyi [00:07:44] district, which suffered the most from enemy shelling yesterday, [00:07:48] our correspondent Maksym Kulyk is currently there. [00:07:51] Maksym, I greet you, and please tell [00:07:55] us about the consequences and about how [00:07:58] the rubble is currently [00:08:00] being cleared. [00:08:07] Hello Iryna, hello viewers, we are actually currently [00:08:10] going to Darnytskyi impact site, [00:08:13] but for now we are still in Solomianskyi [00:08:16] district, where yesterday the Russians [00:08:20] launched a double strike [00:08:23] with North Korean ballistic [00:08:26] missiles. [00:08:29] Now we can hear a comment [00:08:33] from a resident of the affected [00:08:34] building, [00:08:38] there was an arrival, they bombed there, a missile hit, blew out... [00:09:04] filed a statement, whether there will be or not, [00:09:08] we have financial assistance, and so, yesterday... [00:09:12] volunteers came and these same local [00:09:15] workers cut plywood to board up [00:09:19] the windows, at least temporarily [00:09:22] not permanently, but [00:09:24] that's it. [00:09:31] A day has passed, the smell of burning is still [00:09:34] in the air, there are almost no people around, [00:09:37] and rescuers continue their work, [00:09:41] communal workers are also working here, they [00:09:44] are cleaning up glass fragments and other debris [00:09:48] from the affected building, [00:09:52] the crater from the rocket damaged the water [00:09:55] pipes, currently nearby houses do [00:09:59] not have water supply, also the street [00:10:02] is [00:10:04] flooded, also [00:10:07] a shop located behind me [00:10:11] and a children's [00:10:13] playground [00:10:16] were significantly damaged, [00:10:18] children's slides [00:10:21] were damaged, I also want to remind [00:10:25] you that as a result of yesterday's attack, five [00:10:28] people died in Kyiv and 23 people [00:10:31] were injured, so, colleague, [00:10:34] I pass the floor to you. Thank you, this [00:10:37] was Maksym Kulyk from Kyiv's Solomianskyi district, [00:10:41] which suffered the most from enemy shelling yesterday, I only have to add [00:10:45] about the situation in Kyiv, that the Kyiv [00:10:49] City Military Administration has just reported that the number [00:10:52] of injured in Darnytskyi district has increased to six. Kyiv [00:10:56] proposes once again to transfer frozen Russian assets [00:10:59] Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Heorhiy Tykhyi stated that [00:11:02] responsibility for such a decision should be shared by all [00:11:06] EU countries. According to him, Ukraine understands the arguments [00:11:09] of Belgium, where most of the frozen [00:11:12] Russian assets are stored. Therefore, a decision of this magnitude must [00:11:16] be made collectively. Tykhyi noted that Ukraine has already [00:11:20] submitted a corresponding proposal to the European side. According to him, [00:11:24] the funds should be directed to [00:11:26] defense, supporting resilience and recovery of Ukraine. [00:11:30] I remind you, in total, in the EU about 210 billion [00:11:33] euros of Russian [00:11:35] assets are frozen. [00:11:39] Ukraine has a concrete proposal already submitted by [00:11:42] our Ministry of Finance to the European side on how [00:11:46] to find a mechanism [00:11:49] at the European level, at the pan-European level, [00:11:53] which, to which these funds can be transferred [00:11:57] for management, and then actually the decision on their [00:12:00] use, and we believe that they will be used for [00:12:04] defense needs, resilience and recovery [00:12:07] of Ukraine. This decision will be made collectively, [00:12:10] with shared responsibility of all governments [00:14:54] now... in the capital just a few minutes ago, the enemy attacked [00:14:58] Dniprovskyi and Obolonskyi districts of Kyiv, there were preliminary [00:15:01] hits in these districts, namely at a gas station. [00:15:05] There is no information about casualties yet, and I [00:15:08] want to remind you that the enemy attacked a residential building in Dniprovskyi [00:15:12] district at night. This was reported by the State Emergency Service. [00:15:15] At the impact site, the facade of the building from the first to [00:15:19] the fifth floor was on fire, as well as an apartment on the second floor. And [00:15:22] now our correspondent Maksym Kulyk is working at the site of the Russian strike. [00:15:26] And Maksym, I greet [00:15:29] you, please tell me, I just said that [00:15:33] literally a few minutes ago [00:15:36] explosions were heard again in Kyiv and an air [00:15:40] alert is currently in effect, what is known as of this [00:15:43] minute, did you hear these explosions, or are you far [00:15:47] from the impact [00:15:48] sites? [00:15:54] Hello Iryna, hello viewers, at the moment we are in [00:15:58] a shelter, we were previously working near [00:16:01] the building that was hit by a drone, [00:16:04] at the moment, while we were working there, we... [00:16:08] heard an explosion, as the police later [00:16:11] informed us, the hit was at a [00:16:14] gas station in Kyrnavta, [00:16:17] so, I remind Kyiv residents to обязательно during air [00:16:21] raids to go down to shelters, regarding the hit on [00:16:25] the building, it is known [00:16:27] that [00:16:29] the drone fell near the building, which caused a large [00:16:33] fire, the fire engulfed from the second to [00:16:36] the sixth floor. Rescuers [00:16:40] evacuated people, it is known about [00:16:42] seven people who were in a blocked or smoke-filled [00:16:46] room, also this fire was quickly [00:16:50] extinguished, now communal workers are cleaning [00:16:53] the area, and humanitarian and [00:16:57] psychological assistance is being provided to the victims, [00:17:00] the victims are still recovering, some [00:17:03] victims have already been given permission to go to their [00:17:06] apartments. in which apartments it is safe to be, so that they can [00:17:10] pick up their personal belongings and documents. [00:17:13] Also, according to [00:17:15] the police, [00:17:18] the drone was manufactured on 27.08, this is [00:17:22] evidenced by a drone fragment on which the date [00:17:25] was indicated. The number of people who were [00:17:27] injured, it is known that these are [00:17:31] eight people, according to the police, [00:17:34] a 64-year-old man and a 57-year-old [00:17:37] woman suffered burns to their bodies and [00:17:41] a 23- 23-year-old [00:17:44] woman suffered a shrapnel wound, [00:17:48] so they were hospitalized, another five citizens [00:17:51] received medical assistance on the spot, so we will continue [00:17:55] to work on the spot, [00:17:57] update the information, so I pass the floor [00:18:00] to you, thank you, thank you Maksym, [00:18:04] take care of yourself and the film crew and stay in a safe [00:18:07] place in the shelter for now, I only have to add, this was our [00:18:10] correspondent Maksym Kulyk from [00:18:13] the capital. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław [00:18:17] Sikorski spoke about the results of his visit to Kyiv. He [00:18:20] met with representatives of the President's Office, anti-corruption [00:18:23] bodies, veterans, youth and Ukrainian media. According [00:18:27] to him, after returning to Poland, he will provide the government [00:18:31] with the latest information about the situation in Ukraine. The Polish [00:18:35] minister also confirmed that the conversation [00:18:38] with the negotiators, both with the American and [00:18:42] Russian sides, he did not disclose details, but noted that [00:18:45] he now better understands the state of the negotiation process, and [00:18:49] assured that Poland will continue to help [00:18:51] Ukraine. [00:18:56] This is the most important task for all Ministries of Defense of countries friendly to [00:19:00] Ukraine, to implement Ukrainian experience, knowledge and [00:19:03] capabilities into our production plans, military doctrines and [00:19:06] training. A revolution is taking place in [00:19:10] military affairs in Ukraine, and although we hope that similar wars will never [00:19:14] happen again, war will no longer be what it was 5 [00:19:18] years ago, whoever does not draw practical conclusions [00:19:21] from this will simply lose.

You may [00:22:14] not even realize it, but next to you live [00:22:17] Ukrainians who daily their actions change [00:22:21] our country for the better. We will talk [00:22:30] left Kherson region after seven months of occupation, where he [00:22:34] lost his father, and later found a new home in a shelter [00:22:38] in Odesa region. Now he takes care of the elderly, mostly [00:22:42] bedridden patients, and also performs administrative [00:22:45] work. His adult children abroad call him to them, but [00:22:49] to work in Ukraine, because, he says, there is no one [00:22:52] to leave his wards to. Why he made such a choice for himself, [00:22:56] we are talking about today in the program. Pavlo Yuriev, originally from [00:22:59] Kherson region, by education he is a medic and worked for 17 years in [00:23:03] his profession at a psycho-neurological dispensary as an orderly. When [00:23:07] the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine began, the man remained in [00:23:11] his native land, he lived for eight months under occupation. Well, [00:23:14] people disappeared there, the body of some man was [00:23:17] floating there, that was still during the occupation. [00:23:20] We were also afraid to go to the shore for a long time, because [00:23:23] there, well, it was mined there, [00:23:27] communication towers were blown up, power lines, [00:23:31] and because of that, we had no water supply, [00:23:34] we collected rainwater, this was already [00:23:36] already, well, as we were in the zone of hostilities, [00:23:40] the man waited for the liberation of Kherson, but later was [00:23:43] forced to leave his native home, because after the occupation, Russian [00:23:47] troops began to shell the city very heavily, he was reluctant [00:23:51] for a long time, but when his father died, he decided to leave from under the shelling, he found [00:23:54] shelter in Odesa region, for some time he lived there in a building, and [00:23:58] later became an employee. I monitor [00:24:01] the health of elderly [00:24:03] people, [00:24:07] firstly, [00:24:10] well, and I help, we are very [00:24:13] grateful [00:24:16] for generally for the fact that Father Andriy, he was looking for this [00:24:19] place. he was looking for a safe place where he could [00:24:22] uh, well, do something similar, [00:24:26] now there is no one to replace me [00:24:28] simply, [00:24:30] before there was one woman here, but she left. Now Pavlo Yuriev [00:24:34] has the opportunity to go abroad, because his children are there [00:24:38] and call him to them, but he doesn't go, he says he can't [00:24:41] leave the shelter, because people count on him? I am [00:24:45] an optimist, it can always be worse, [00:24:49] firstly. we are alive, we are relatively [00:24:52] healthy, we are not hungry, [00:24:56] we are not starving, now, thank God, there is light and water, [00:24:59] what else does a person need, I cannot leave these people, [00:25:03] for now, Mr. Pavlo, [00:25:06] I greet you, thank you for joining our conversation, [00:25:10] and you know, you were at the shelter, as we learned from [00:25:13] the news report, and please tell me, when you [00:25:17] were returning, when you were fleeing Kherson region [00:25:20] from occupation, how much was it a support and it was [00:25:23] a help for you to find this housing, to have a roof over [00:25:27] your head? [00:25:31] after we came here, [00:25:35] I would compare it to heaven and earth, [00:25:39] literally, there are constant shellings, [00:25:42] well, when there is [00:25:45] a lull, you need to go somewhere, [00:25:48] run. charge gadgets, whoever [00:25:52] starts a generator, well, that was then, now [00:25:55] there is no one left in the village, when we arrived [00:25:58] here, we got used to the quiet at first, [00:26:01] to the quiet. well, to [00:26:03] safety, [00:26:06] well, and we were surprised, indeed [00:26:09] it was, well, like in a hotel such, [00:26:12] rooms, well, except for many places, you [00:26:15] compare, you came to Odesa region and it was like heaven and [00:26:19] earth, how much generally [00:26:23] when you left Kherson region, what were [00:26:26] your thoughts, where were you going, were you going into the unknown, or did you know that [00:26:29] people there could help, what was this path for you? to this [00:26:33] shelter, [00:26:35] well, my daughter [00:26:38] sent me phone numbers to [00:26:41] contact, well, when she found out [00:26:44] that we had buried our father, [00:26:47] and one of [00:26:51] the numbers was Caritas, [00:26:53] Odesa, well, [00:26:56] and, [00:26:58] they guided us, explained how to get there, well... [00:27:02] well, we got to Odesa, and then they guided us, and [00:27:06] they met us in a neighboring village nearby and [00:27:10] brought us to the shelter, there we didn't know if we would live until [00:27:14] morning there, [00:27:18] so here we really liked [00:27:22] all the conditions, as I said, [00:27:25] well, because we had no light or [00:27:29] water there, our village was located opposite... [00:27:35] it's right on the shore [00:27:37] Dnipro, [00:27:39] well, many people heard about Krynky, probably, well, [00:27:43] and from that side, we were visible as in [00:27:46] the palm of a hand. [00:27:50] My father was immobile, well, [00:27:53] and when we buried him, then [00:27:56] after 10 days we were already in a shelter. How did you [00:28:00] get from Kherson region to Odesa region? Were you [00:28:03] under shelling, how difficult was this journey to get to this [00:28:06] shelter? I understand that you already knew where to go, but still [00:28:10] you had to get out of this shelling from the region, [00:28:13] practically from the zone of hostilities. At [00:28:17] that time, we still had shuttle buses going to [00:28:20] Kherson, [00:28:22] so we went to Kherson, then [00:28:26] we took an Odesa [00:28:29] shuttle bus, and that's how we arrived. [00:28:32] And already, well, as I said, we were [00:28:36] already being guided, then [00:28:39] they told us where exactly to sit, on which [00:28:43] transport. [00:28:48] So help was available from [00:28:49] the very beginning. [00:28:52] Mr. Pavlo, you lived in a shelter for a certain period, [00:28:55] and then you decided to stay there, but already to work, not [00:28:59] just live, but also work, help elderly [00:29:03] people who are there on site. Your children are [00:29:06] abroad, you could, [00:29:09] as a pensioner, leave the country and go to them and [00:29:13] live your [00:29:16] better life without worries, and next to your children. But you [00:29:19] chose a different path, you chose to stay in [00:29:22] Ukraine and be and work for [00:29:26] the benefit of the country, help elderly people who simply have nowhere to [00:29:30] live now. Why did you choose this [00:29:32] path? [00:29:36] At first, Father Andriy offered [00:29:39] a job, [00:29:42] well, and I already had [00:29:45] a blood pressure monitor with me, [00:29:48] собою, [00:29:51] well, grandmothers, as usual, their health is already not [00:29:55] very good, just like [00:29:57] grandfathers. Well, that's how it started, Father [00:30:01] offered a job as a social [00:30:04] worker. [00:30:08] And people started, they [00:30:12] constantly turned to me, [00:30:15] some have phones, the same, well, not only [00:30:19] button phones, smartphones, but they don't really [00:30:22] understand them. [00:30:25] Well, and help, well, as if [00:30:29] case management in everything. [00:30:34] You have to, [00:30:37] monitoring of health condition, morning [00:30:40] and evening, there measuring blood pressure, [00:30:44] saturation, that kind of thing, [00:30:47] monitoring when to call [00:30:49] an ambulance, well, prescriptions, [00:30:53] some people cannot take them themselves, you need to [00:30:57] control those that doctors prescribe.
