[00:00:03] Wounded soldiers, missing in action, prisoners of war,
[00:00:06] displaced persons, appeared in Ukraine during the Russian-Ukrainian war.
[00:00:10] They have their own problems, to which we, as media, society, and
[00:00:13] the state, cannot turn a blind eye. So in this studio, we will
[00:00:24] Russian aggression continues in our country, wounded soldiers often cannot
[00:00:27] return to their units, and what... to be useful to the state,
[00:00:31] they go to serve in territorial recruitment centers. One of
[00:00:35] them is Mykhailo Kovaliv. While still a student, he participated in
[00:00:38] the Revolution of Dignity, and then joined the army at the beginning
[00:00:42] of the Russian-Ukrainian war. On the front, he also met the full-scale
[00:00:45] war of Russia against Ukraine. For me, it was almost what I expected,
[00:00:49] what I wanted. Yes. Full drive,
[00:00:52] full-scale war, planes, air bombs, what
[00:00:56] I wanted, my dream has already come true. I think that
[00:00:59] this is what I... lived for, to witness all this
[00:01:02] and defeat this evil. There should be some cult of
[00:01:05] war, this is what we, the descendants of Zaporizhzhian Cossacks,
[00:01:09] we, the descendants of Sich Riflemen, we, the descendants of the UPA, it should
[00:01:13] be like this, unfortunately, the times of
[00:01:16] knights, unfortunately, are no longer the same, knights are no
[00:01:19] longer there, these warriors, in fact, true patriots, those who, I don't
[00:01:23] want to offend everyone, of course, there are people who are also
[00:01:26] patriots of Ukraine, but mostly those who love...
[00:01:30] super passionate, super passionate people are those who just want to open the fridge,
[00:01:34] and there's sausage for 11 UAH, everything is
[00:01:36] filled, but spiritual development, some spiritual
[00:01:40] origin, your history, future, they are not interested, the main thing is to have
[00:01:43] a job, it's hard to work with such people. Mykhailo was
[00:01:47] wounded in Rubizhne, in Luhansk region, when he was rescuing
[00:01:49] his comrades. Due to his injury and disability, he joined the TCC
[00:01:53] TSP of the city of Drohobych. I plan
[00:01:56] to continue, until I get tired, until, or until I get wounded.
[00:02:00] Or until, God forbid, maybe I won't be alive, but I will know
[00:02:03] that I did everything I could for the country, everything, everything I could
[00:02:07] do, my conscience, my honor, my dignity,
[00:02:10] I will know my guys, my friends, will know, my acquaintances, that I
[00:02:14] did everything possible, I am responsible for myself, Ukraine
[00:02:17] begins with me, with me personally, I give everything
[00:02:21] I have, he is still able to give, I see nothing terrible in
[00:02:24] this, after recovery, Mykhailo rejoined the army, but
[00:02:28] last year, on July 25, communication with him was lost.
[00:02:31] On July 31, his relatives learned that he
[00:02:34] had died.
[00:02:37] And veteran Yuriy Bondarenko was killed in Lviv's rear. According
[00:02:41] to his comrades, despite his disability, he mobilized into
[00:02:44] an air defense unit, and later began serving in the TCC. While
[00:02:48] performing his official duties, a 30-year-old conscript, while
[00:02:52] checking documents, attacked the veteran with a knife. He was
[00:02:56] hospitalized but could not be saved. Conflicts between military personnel
[00:03:00] and conscripts are becoming more frequent.
[00:03:03] Another incident recently occurred in Sykhiv, Lviv. A group
[00:03:07] of people blocked, damaged, and overturned
[00:03:10] the car of servicemen of the Sykhiv RTCC and SP.
[00:03:14] It all happened because of the detention of a 30-year-old man
[00:03:17] who was wanted. According to the prosecutor's office, about
[00:03:21] 200 people participated in the riots. He was offered
[00:03:25] to go
[00:03:28] to Sykhiv to undergo registration data clarification
[00:03:31] and a military medical
[00:03:35] commission. After this, the citizen
[00:03:38] got into the car,
[00:03:41] a group that had not arrived earlier
[00:03:44] arrived, a group of unknown
[00:03:47] persons. Today, over 35,000 people work in the TCC, a significant number
[00:03:51] are veterans. People think that we have not been in combat,
[00:03:54] and we are just walking around here and
[00:03:58] want someone to... take our place, they say so,
[00:04:01] but it is not true, we all have
[00:04:05] combatant status, I
[00:04:06] fought,
[00:04:09] one might say, all over Luhansk region. Yuriy
[00:04:13] Mashtalir, a serviceman, first fought in Luhansk region, and
[00:04:16] then his unit was transferred to Donetsk region, where he was
[00:04:19] wounded. After the hospital, he began serving in the Drohobych
[00:04:22] TCC. It seems to me that first of all, one should become
[00:04:26] a man.
[00:04:31] To have something like this,
[00:04:33] you know,
[00:04:37] to be Ukrainian, if you live in our country,
[00:04:41] to be Ukrainian, to do simple
[00:04:45] things, it's just to go
[00:04:47] and register,
[00:04:50] RTCC, to register, this is a small step, and
[00:04:53] if fit, then go and
[00:04:56] protect your family.
[00:05:00] First of all, family,
[00:05:03] relatives, then the
[00:05:06] state, because many say, well,
[00:05:09] I... The state gave me
[00:05:12] nothing, the state
[00:05:16] never gave me anything at all, so go for
[00:05:20] your family,
[00:05:22] you have to be a man, we have war and
[00:05:26] great trouble in our country, however, violations are recorded not only by
[00:05:29] conscripts, but also by TCC servicemen. For example, the case in Transcarpathia,
[00:05:32] where from February to April of this year, servicemen illegally detained
[00:05:36] 21 people without any legal grounds. Investigators
[00:05:39] established a fact of cruel
[00:05:43] treatment of one of the men. The duty officer of the temporary
[00:05:46] mobilization point handcuffed the victim to
[00:05:49] a metal ladder and left him in that state all night.
[00:05:53] The first and main thing that strikes the eye the most
[00:05:57] is the violation of the requirements of
[00:06:00] the law, violation of the rights of
[00:06:03] citizens, they occur, of course, during
[00:06:06] the actual detention
[00:06:08] of citizens by TCC employees, including.
[00:06:12] both independently and with the participation of the national police, and
[00:06:16] violations, of course, are connected with the
[00:06:19] delivery and detention of mobilized persons in
[00:06:23] TCC premises, that is, the
[00:06:26] actual detention and holding of citizens on the territory of territorial
[00:06:30] recruitment centers, accordingly
[00:06:33] without court decisions, without drawing up even administrative
[00:06:37] protocols and without any
[00:06:39] other proper legal basis. In total,
[00:06:43] in the first 5 months of this year, the TCC received over 3,000
[00:06:47] complaints from citizens of Ukraine. These data were released
[00:06:50] by ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets. This refers to the use of force,
[00:06:54] the use of balaclavas, the removal of insignia by
[00:06:57] representatives of the TCC and SP. The official says that he reported
[00:07:01] information about systemic violations to every Minister of Defense, whose term
[00:07:04] he served as an authorized person, but it turned out that
[00:07:08] the only system that can influence is
[00:07:10] publicity.

[00:09:35] They persistently make their way into the army and overcome all
[00:09:38] obstacles to achieve victory for Ukraine alongside
[00:09:42] men. These are the stories
[00:09:49] commands a company of strike drones. My hero today
[00:09:52] is Oksana Rubanyak with the call sign Ksana. What
[00:09:55] tricks did she use with her comrades to stop
[00:09:59] the enemy, and how does she see the end of the war, she tells
[00:10:02] us next. The period of technological war, and I
[00:10:05] will call this period of war exactly that, the work
[00:10:09] of UAVs is key.
[00:10:14] The enemy was
[00:10:16] advancing with tanks, he had about 10 units,
[00:10:20] and we hit five of them, and then
[00:10:24] completely neutralized them... that is, they were not even
[00:10:26] taken away,
[00:10:30] when you understand that this person is coming for you, and it's either you or
[00:10:33] him, such an instinct works, probably
[00:10:37] an animal one, after all, he, I understand, you need to
[00:10:40] defend yourself,
[00:10:44] the most important thing is that my people are alive and whole, and for
[00:10:48] this they must be trained, equipped, and
[00:10:52] familiar with the situation on the battlefield.
[00:10:58] Many poems are dedicated to people, my comrades and even those
[00:11:02] who are no longer
[00:11:03] with us.
[00:11:06] My name is Ksena, Oksana Rubanyak, I am
[00:11:10] a commander of a company of strike UAVs in the battalion of unmanned systems
[00:11:13] of the 67th separate mechanized brigade. Before
[00:11:17] 2022, before joining
[00:11:20] the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I studied and worked at
[00:11:23] the Ivano-Frankivsk city council, in the department of youth
[00:11:26] policy and sports, the department of youth policy and sports, in
[00:11:30] the department of youth policy, and I was also the deputy head of the youth
[00:11:33] council of Ivano-Frankivsk. We organized various
[00:11:36] events, both national-patriotic and military,
[00:11:39] with a military bias for youth. I also
[00:11:42] organized competitions in
[00:11:45] such an art form as MMA, mixed
[00:11:48] martial arts, mixed martial arts, both
[00:11:52] for children and for military personnel. We had an
[00:11:55] international championship, which was also attended by military
[00:11:58] athletes from other countries. Life
[00:12:01] was saturated, calm, peaceful, very
[00:12:04] promising,
[00:12:06] young.
[00:12:10] My decision to join the army is a
[00:12:12] complex of reasons and circumstances of where I lived, in
[00:12:16] what society I was, in what I grew and developed. My
[00:12:20] uncle was a participant in the ATO, was in captivity, participated
[00:12:24] in battles for...
[00:12:26] he returned, after that he was exchanged from
[00:12:29] captivity, and in 2022 he also joined the army,
[00:12:33] despite the fact that he had three children, and
[00:12:36] the last twins were only
[00:12:39] one year old, so despite this, my uncle still went to serve. I also had
[00:12:43] a lot of military acquaintances. In
[00:12:45] 2021, I entered the military department, but
[00:12:49] I never finished it. I came to the army as an ordinary
[00:12:53] soldier and for a year and a half. I was one until
[00:12:56] the moment I became a squad leader, then
[00:13:00] a platoon leader, and now already a company commander,
[00:13:03] so my path in the army has been like this for the fourth
[00:13:07] year. Sometimes I don't even remember what
[00:13:10] it was like before the army, civilian
[00:13:13] life can even be forgotten, to be honest,
[00:13:16] sometimes,
[00:13:18] for a year and a half I was in the infantry with the guys. Some
[00:13:22] become squad leaders or platoon leaders faster. I was
[00:13:26] in the infantry with the guys, I took positions, I was equal
[00:13:30] to them. Then the commander saw my, probably, some leadership
[00:13:34] qualities, or abilities, or skills, and I became
[00:13:37] first a squad leader, then in our company
[00:13:41] a UAV platoon began to form, where I led it. We started with six
[00:13:44] people, then grew to
[00:13:47] 108 people in our company. So this is a long
[00:13:51] process, and it took more than a year. It was not easy. In some
[00:13:55] moments it was quite difficult, because some commanders
[00:13:59] of higher ranks have a prejudiced attitude towards women, and sometimes
[00:14:03] you need to prove and demonstrate
[00:14:06] constantly that you are worthy of your place. Yes, this
[00:14:09] is true, but despite this, you need to continue. You can
[00:14:13] give up at any moment, but that's not
[00:14:15] the way out.
[00:14:20] Before I joined the army, I only saw machine guns in pictures. When
[00:14:24] we studied at the military department, I didn't shoot it
[00:14:27] and didn't understand, unlike most of my comrades, what it is and
[00:14:31] what it's for, as they say. We trained at the training ground, we trained
[00:14:35] to disassemble and assemble. We even had such competitions, for time, who
[00:14:39] will assemble faster. We also trained
[00:14:42] shooting at the training ground and practiced until
[00:14:46] we went to the front line. Then
[00:14:49] later, of course, the first experience, it is
[00:14:53] the first experience. Some mistakes that
[00:14:56] I now understand we made then, lack of training,
[00:14:59] unfamiliarity, but now I understand that
[00:15:03] the commander correctly set up the work
[00:15:06] then. Just yesterday I met a
[00:15:10] serviceman of another brigade. As it
[00:15:13] turned out, we crossed paths in 2022, in our
[00:15:16] first direction, at the Vuhlehirsk thermal power plant. We
[00:15:20] were leaving there for another direction, they were coming in, and we
[00:15:24] started discussing who worked with which
[00:15:26] types of weapons. They then worked with
[00:15:30] the MK-19, later they were also given a Browning. We started discussing
[00:15:33] all this near me, my soldier, and he says
[00:15:36] yes, yes, wait, I don't remember, I don't understand what
[00:15:40] he's talking about. We started remembering the area that
[00:15:43] was there, remembering this sequence
[00:15:47] of combat operations and the enemy's advance, who worked with which type of weaponry,
[00:15:50] and you know, my flashbacks started, and it was actually
[00:15:54] very pleasant to meet a person who, you know, no matter how
[00:15:58] it sounds now, but it's so pleasant to meet a person who started
[00:16:01] with you, or you crossed paths somewhere, because unfortunately, there are
[00:16:05] fewer and fewer such people, most of them... die, and this is such
[00:16:09] warmth in the soul, which I don't know how to explain, I felt it yesterday, when you
[00:16:13] meet a person, and you have something to remember, and you have something
[00:16:16] to compare. We were a machine gun platoon, but we and the shooters
[00:16:19] took up observation posts, and then,
[00:16:23] when we took up, and the enemy began to advance
[00:16:27] in our direction, he then used heavy
[00:16:30] weapons and equipment, there were BMPs,
[00:16:34] tanks, then they worked on us, well, we were taken out of
[00:16:38] the landing, and I remember these, because at first we
[00:16:41] saw, saw them through binoculars, because we had binoculars
[00:16:45] at the observation post, and you see a person, and here, you know,
[00:16:49] uh, it works, probably some animal instinct, or how to explain it, when
[00:16:53] you understand that this person is coming for you, and it's either you or
[00:16:56] him, such an instinct works, probably
[00:17:00] an animal one after all, I understand that you need to
[00:17:03] defend yourself, so that you stay alive and
[00:17:06] so that your people around you are alive. Now in
[00:17:09] infantry it is much more difficult than it was in
[00:17:12] 2022-2023.
[00:17:15] I admit this and everyone will definitely confirm it, because
[00:17:18] then we had more freedom, we were not
[00:17:22] in the enemy's palm, they didn't see us from the sky, there were not
[00:17:26] so many drones in 2022 there were
[00:17:29] possibly several enemy reconnaissance drones and there
[00:17:33] were absolutely no in 2023 they started
[00:17:35] to appear actively in 2024, but in 2022 we were
[00:17:39] free to move, so it depended on our skills,
[00:17:43] physical, mental cunning,
[00:17:47] which affected the course of combat operations. Now it depends
[00:17:50] on the technological plan, how much someone is protected, how much
[00:17:53] someone is advanced from some such
[00:17:57] technological operations.
[00:18:01] We moved under the guise of thick fog to the enemy's
[00:18:04] positions. And now planning any
[00:18:07] operation, whether to repel positions, or to defend
[00:18:11] our positions, it involves all branches, not
[00:18:14] just infantry. The key task is to preserve
[00:18:18] our personnel, to save our infantrymen on the front
[00:18:21] line, and we do everything possible to destroy
[00:18:24] the enemy before he approaches our forward
[00:18:28] positions and thus save the lives of our
[00:18:31] servicemen.
[00:18:33] I was presented with a fait accompli, told that I would head the platoon.
[00:18:38] UAV and I
[00:18:40] accepted it. I asked if there was a more professional person,
[00:18:44] because I don't have such experience working with UAVs, and
[00:18:48] perhaps I, well, I didn't even believe in some of my own strength. I just asked,
[00:18:52] maybe someone else would lead it, to which I was told, the
[00:18:55] commander said, no, I see it that way. I was sent
[00:18:58] for training. I learned to work specifically
[00:19:02] with UAVs, then to receive an officer's rank, and
[00:19:05] after that, when we... on the same day received an officer's rank, on
[00:19:09] the next day we already had a directive for the defense of Kharkiv region. Then
[00:19:13] the enemy was moving in the direction of Vovchansk
[00:19:16] and adjacent settlements. We went
[00:19:20] there with the unit, and there I gained this first
[00:19:24] combat experience as a commander.
[00:19:26] Uh, and of course, at first
[00:19:29] it was difficult, but then you get into it, you start
[00:19:32] to understand many processes, and
[00:19:35] now I understand that... a commander is a person who
[00:19:38] must provide, train, and organize the work
[00:19:42] of all personnel, and this takes up most of my
[00:19:46] time. The period of technological war, and I will call
[00:19:49] this period of war exactly that, the work
[00:19:52] of UAVs is key, as it is the key
[00:19:56] means that detects and inflicts
[00:19:59] damage on targets on
[00:20:02] the enemy. It is key, of course, that it does not
[00:20:06] do without radio. electronic reconnaissance, electronic
[00:20:09] warfare, this is again a complex, but
[00:20:13] if we take the number of hits,
[00:20:16] probably 80 or even 90, these are hits
[00:20:19] from the sky and specifically
[00:20:22] UAVs.
[00:20:26] When we were here in the Pokrovsk direction,
[00:20:29] it was January 2025. Then the
[00:20:33] enemy was advancing with tanks, he
[00:20:37] had... about 10 units, and we hit five of them,
[00:20:40] and then completely neutralized them, meaning they were not even
[00:20:44] taken away. Five of them managed to, how to
[00:20:48] say, maneuver. Uh, because they just later
[00:20:51] drove out and hid in a shelter, where we just
[00:20:55] couldn't reach, and then the neighbors started working there
[00:20:58] with means that work much
[00:21:02] further than us. For me, as a commander, the most important thing is that
[00:21:06] my people are alive and whole, and for this they must
[00:21:09] be trained, equipped, and
[00:21:12] familiar with the situation on the battlefield, which is no less important.
[00:21:16] My primary task is to save the lives of my own people
[00:21:20] as well as the people for whom we are responsible, and
[00:21:23] for this, the personnel must be trained,
[00:21:27] provided with technical means, and constantly improved
[00:21:30] and taught, because we have such a technological race with the enemy
[00:21:34] now, and whoever is ahead wins on the
[00:21:38] battlefield.
[00:21:42] Graves upon graves are counted,
[00:21:45] scattered bodies lie in the earth, causes united. I
[00:21:48] know that the wind sows,
[00:21:52] over the steppe, the ashes of suffering
[00:21:54] wither,
[00:21:57] stirred up, silent with a bloody groan, and this
[00:22:00] silence, the
[00:22:03] worst torment and test, but
[00:22:07] the burnt ground from tanks will no longer be resurrected,
[00:22:10] buried with the bodies of warriors, the last
[00:22:13] farewells.
[00:22:20] collections of poetry were written, including during my
[00:22:23] service, in particular, the first collection
[00:22:27] published in 2023, if I'm not mistaken, "Towards
[00:22:30] Death", and then "The Road of Life". Recently, well, about
[00:22:34] half a year ago, a collection of poetry was published
[00:22:38] by Folio publishing house. This is my last collection of 100
[00:22:41] poems, about the series of publications,
[00:22:44] in particular, there are also such authors as Taras Shevchenko, Lesia
[00:22:48] Ukrainka, and also.
[00:22:50] that new authors are already being added, it helps me to unload, plus
[00:22:54] to save some moments, for me each poem is an event
[00:22:57] connected with something and a feeling connected,
[00:23:01] a person. Also, many poems are dedicated to people, my
[00:23:04] comrades and even those who are no longer
[00:23:07] with us.
[00:23:11] It's hard to lose, with time you get used to
[00:23:15] your loved ones becoming fewer, but the closer the person
[00:23:18] is to you, the harder it is to...
[00:23:20] lose them.
[00:23:24] Now I am in a new unit, in a new
[00:23:27] brigade, I am forming a new route. Recently,
[00:23:30] many servicemen are joining me, including people
[00:23:33] returning, returning from unauthorized abandonment of service.
[00:23:37] Even yesterday, seven people called me who want to return
[00:23:40] to service, and I crossed paths with some of them
[00:23:44] in previous directions, some heard about me,
[00:23:47] some have relatives in my unit.
[00:23:51] Only time will tell if there will be an end to the war and
[00:23:55] what it will be like. Now it's hard to predict
[00:23:58] anything. I don't know if it will be for me, and I don't
[00:24:01] plan any plans about what to do
[00:24:04] after the war, or where I see myself. I don't even ask
[00:24:08] myself such questions, because I understand that the war will be long,
[00:24:12] and the question is whether we will remain after it, after its
[00:24:15] end.
[00:24:33] Good health, we are the third separate assault brigade, the 47th
[00:24:37] Magura brigade, the 110th mechanized brigade,
[00:24:40] the 159th brigade. Every day we fight for our
[00:24:43] freedom and independence. Every day of silence is a day of continuous
[00:24:47] battle. The price of our lives. We hear you, we see all... children's drawings,
[00:24:51] warm socks, flags on balconies. Today, drones and
[00:24:54] electronic warfare are not only protection, but an effective way to neutralize the enemy.
[00:24:58] A drone is our eyes, an accurate strike. A pickup is a quick
[00:25:01] evacuation and saved lives. We appeal to you with
[00:25:04] a request to join our fundraising. We will not give up.
[00:25:07] We stand for you. Wake up, donate,
[00:25:10] win together. Glory to Ukraine, glory to
[00:25:13] heroes. The charity fund Vesna is raising funds for
[00:25:16] the third assault, 47th, 110th.
[00:25:20] and 159th mechanized brigades for
[00:25:23] drones, electronic warfare, and pickups. Let's protect
[00:25:26] those who protect us.

[00:25:40] the war?

[00:29:07] then we again continue
[00:29:10] the alarm continues, again we are
[00:29:12] in the process
[00:29:15] of constant shelling and terror of the civilian
[00:29:18] population, literally during the last
[00:29:21] alarm, the consequences of the attack in the Obolonsky
[00:29:24] district in a non-residential building are known,
