00:00:00storm the stronghold, well, they haven't been storming strongholds lately, they try to
00:00:03bypass them, all these groups were timely destroyed
00:00:07by these wonderful FPV Kamikaze
00:00:10drones, uh-huh, Russians have been
00:00:13probably for a month, or a fourth month,
00:00:16saying that they have some achievements in the Borova
00:00:20area, but in fact, again,
00:00:23friends, I remind you that where Borova is, the main
00:00:26problem for the Russians is the Oskil river, they want to cross it.
00:00:30And the Borova case itself is simply
00:00:34the key to this river, and all these news that you
00:00:37read in this area, it's all about how they
00:00:41approach Oskil, how they try, at least, to
00:00:45cross it, so at the moment all these attempts
00:00:48end in nothing, and the last assault
00:00:51is a good example of
00:00:55this, you know, more infantry, less
00:00:58infantry, this infantry somehow... tries to approach more
00:01:00cunningly, they try to invent
00:01:04tactical innovations and all this will end
00:01:08with the F5 drone pilot saying
00:01:12such, let's say, a final goodbye
00:01:15to these infantrymen, who actually see this drone as the last thing they will see in their
00:01:19lives. Mykola, just days ago, the Institute
00:01:23for the Study of War published an analysis that
00:01:26Russian troops conducted limited offensive operations
00:01:31in your direction towards Kupyansk on
00:01:34July 21-22, but they were unable to advance due to a number of specific
00:01:38reasons, there are only three of them: the density of Ukrainian drones, which you also
00:01:41mentioned, a lack of trained personnel in the
00:01:44enemy, and the third, and this is interesting, a deficit of gasoline for Russian
00:01:48occupiers, how in general our middle strikes
00:01:51affect what you currently see in your
00:01:53direction.
00:01:56I also wanted to add something interesting. Our
00:02:00observations of the area of responsibility of Andriy
00:02:03Biletsky's corps show that, in addition to the lack of fuel, there is also a lack
00:02:07of water, friends. Imagine the situation, the last
00:02:11days have been especially hot, how in such conditions, if there is no
00:02:14water, can infantry generally move somewhere?
00:02:17And the absence of fuel leads to the following
00:02:21thing: if earlier you had
00:02:25the prospect, as a Russian occupier, that some
00:02:28conventional taxi would take you there, or a tank would take you there, if there
00:02:32was such a situation that nothing else could get there, or at least a motorcycle,
00:02:36then in conditions when there is no fuel,
00:02:40you have to walk, walk
00:02:43in conditions where you also have insufficient water supply to
00:02:46your positions, how difficult it is, how
00:02:49it leads to people making poor decisions, that is, let's say, it's physically
00:02:53very difficult to do, and it also leads to very poor decisions, when
00:02:57you walk and well, I wouldn't recommend practicing it, but
00:03:01try walking 20 kilometers without drinking
00:03:05anything, having drunk half a liter of water, because that's all
00:03:08the half a liter of water that you have, what does middle strikes
00:03:12have to do with this? The deeper we can consistently hit
00:03:15enemy targets with our drone component, the further the enemy has
00:03:19to pull back their resources, that is, if before a fuel truck could, say,
00:03:23drive for 100
00:03:26kilometers, 50 kilometers and
00:03:29fuel all the equipment that is supposed to lead the occupiers forward,
00:03:33yes, bring water, bring ammunition, now this
00:03:37distance in the area of responsibility of the third
00:03:39army corps is 206 km, our drones
00:03:43fly 206 km, their
00:03:46fuel tankers are located on these 26 km, their
00:03:50trucks with ammunition are located there, their
00:03:53warehouses where all this is stored are located there,
00:03:56the places where their infantry lives and rests are located there, and accordingly, all this has
00:04:00to be pulled back even further,
00:04:02therefore, among the main achievements that
00:04:06we have had, I would indeed note that we have deepened the zone
00:04:10of engagement, and I won't say that before this we didn't fly 206
00:04:13km, that would probably be offensive to all those
00:04:17crews who did this many times even before it
00:04:20became common practice for us,
00:04:23but now this drone wall has become denser, if
00:04:27before we talked about a kill zone only in the
00:04:30near zone, well, let's say up to 40 km we could provide it, as
00:04:34a rule it was 20 km, 40 in the case of more
00:04:37prepared operations, when drones were prepared for this, now we are already talking about the fact that
00:04:41for 206 km, Russians
00:04:44don't just walk the streets, they
00:04:48also have to hide now, their transport doesn't just drive around, and
00:04:52accordingly, these assault actions become
00:04:55much more difficult from the point of view of logistical support, so indeed
00:04:58the density of drones. the absence of sufficient
00:05:02fuel for the Russians and the ability to deliver this fuel where it is needed, well,
00:05:05and from us also such information, the absence
00:05:09of a sufficient amount of water, because just as autotransport
00:05:12needs fuel to move, these are their blood, people
00:05:16need water and without it, it's impossible, Mr. Mykola,
00:05:19thank you, very informative actually
00:05:23for understanding what the occupiers are currently lacking, and
00:05:26it means this can also be used, Mykola Volokhov, Abdula,
00:05:29commander of a unit in the third army corps,
00:05:33about the section between Kupyansk and Lyman
00:05:37direction, in the Borova area, now it's time
00:05:40to learn about the economy. Now it's time to learn about economic news, which Alexander Morchyk
00:05:44has prepared for us. Alexander, hello, please, the
00:05:47floor is yours. Hello, colleagues, so Ukrainian farmers
00:05:51are asking for help, find out about oil prices,
00:05:55exchange rates, and also important news that large taxpayers
00:05:58of Ukraine are leaving ports, iron
00:06:01ore mining is stopping, details in
00:06:03a moment.
00:06:12This is how
00:06:14additional grain sleeves for temporary storage of
00:06:17the harvest are ready to be provided to Ukraine by Canada.
00:06:20The need for such capacities increased due to Russian attacks on the ports
00:06:24of Greater Odesa. This complicated the export
00:06:27of agricultural products and increased the load on logistics, the Ministry
00:06:30of Agrarian Policy reported. Currently, Ukraine is actively looking for
00:06:34ways to restore grain transportation.
00:06:37Allies are already helping, said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy
00:06:41Sybiha. And on this. He reminded that precisely due to the full-scale invasion
00:06:44of the Russian Federation into our state, the world food
00:06:48price index rose by 205%.
00:06:51Food continues to become more expensive.
00:06:55Large taxpayers are waiting for the resumption of
00:06:59port operations and an improvement in the security situation. Ferrexpo is temporarily
00:07:02stopping iron ore mining in Ukraine due to problems with sea
00:07:06logistics. This is stated in the official statement of the company on the
00:07:10London Stock Exchange. In order to preserve working capital,
00:07:13the management decided to stop mining. Currently,
00:07:17the company supplies European customers from already
00:07:21existing warehouse stocks, however, in the absence of additional
00:07:24funding, according to Ferrexpo, net available
00:07:27cash resources will only last until mid-September. However,
00:07:31this forecast may change depending on world prices for
00:07:35iron ore, operating costs, and an improvement in the
00:07:38security situation in ports also plays a role.
00:07:42Perhaps in the future, the resumption
00:07:45of the work of this company. Let's move on.
00:07:48Maersk will send containers to
00:07:51Ukraine by rail from Romanian Constanta. The company will temporarily
00:07:55not enter the Black Sea port.
00:07:58It is planned that this service will operate until October, until
00:08:01the situation in the region stabilizes,
00:08:04Maersk reported. Currently, due to increased Russian
00:08:08attacks, some shipowners are refraining from working
00:08:11with ports. in particular, foreign shipowners
00:08:15have started increasing rail
00:08:17transportation, well, and solidarity routes
00:08:21have also become more active, this is such a complex of sections,
00:08:25these are highways, railways, these
00:08:27are certain river sections of roads by which
00:08:31goods are transported to and from Ukraine. We
00:08:34are following this. Let's move on. Demand for dairy products in
00:08:38Ukraine is slowing down, at the same time, producers'
00:08:41costs for fuel, electricity, logistics, and
00:08:44packaging are increasing. This creates prerequisites for a future price increase of
00:08:48approximately 10% by the end of
00:08:51summer and in winter. Such forecasts were announced by the Association
00:08:54of Milk Producers. In the country, key
00:08:57factors that previously supported high consumer
00:09:01purchasing activity have been exhausted, including high inflationary
00:09:04expectations, increased salaries, budget
00:09:07payments, well, all this affects the increase in dairy
00:09:11prices, analysts say. And an additional factor in the decline
00:09:14in demand was the shortage of labor in Ukraine, which
00:09:18approximately 70% of
00:09:21Ukrainian companies faced.
00:09:25We continue the broadcast and traditionally look at the exchange rates as of
00:09:28today, how the hryvnia is doing according to the National Bank
00:09:32of Ukraine. So, if we look in comparison with yesterday,
00:09:36the Polish zloty is more expensive - almost 12 UAH. Such
00:09:39a stable fluctuation occurs throughout the week. within
00:09:43the mark of 12 UAH, and
00:09:46the euro is more expensive, if compared to yesterday,
00:09:4951 UAH 62 kopecks and the American dollar
00:09:52is falling in price, it does not reach the psychological
00:09:56mark, which some experts often
00:09:58predict, it costs as of today 44 UAH
00:10:0268
00:10:03kopecks.
00:10:06Below 4 million barrels per day, crude
00:10:09oil exports from Russia for the first time in six weeks collapsed, Bloomberg
00:10:13agency analysts report. The transition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to such
00:10:17active attacks on tankers in the Black and Azov Seas, as
00:10:20well as on warehouses in
00:10:23Russia, gave Russian oil refineries a temporary
00:10:27opportunity to still carry out repairs,
00:10:30increase processing volumes, probably, and this factor
00:10:33reduced the volume of crude oil exports, experts
00:10:37say, however, this indicator may continue to fall,
00:10:40as the Russians have concerns about the safety of their
00:10:43refineries. For example,
00:10:46crude oil shipments from the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk
00:10:50last week remained
00:10:53significantly lower than in the entire
00:10:55history
00:10:57of the industry, well, and this prospect
00:11:00really still exists, that
00:11:04crude oil exports will decrease, in particular,
00:11:07new EU sanctions that the EU is preparing
00:11:11will also be in effect in the future, well, and I will put
00:11:15a period on today, the broadcast continues, watch
00:11:18us.
00:11:20нас.
00:11:28Many thanks to Oleksandr Morshivka for the economic news,
00:11:31of course there aren't many good news, we understand, and this hurts
00:11:35Ukrainian exports, and will hurt budget revenues
00:11:39accordingly, but now we will talk about politics and
00:11:42political news, with us is Gennadiy Dubov, political observer,
00:11:45Mr. Gennadiy, welcome, thank you for joining our
00:11:48broadcast. I salute you, thank you for
00:11:51the invitation, I propose to start with...
00:11:55the acting Minister of Foreign Affairs
00:11:58of Ukraine. Against the backdrop of a massive Russian
00:12:02attack on the Kyiv region, the head of the Foreign Ministry called on the world
00:12:05to continue putting pressure on Russia through sanctions.
00:12:09Russian strikes do not have holidays, support for Ukraine and pressure on the aggressor
00:12:12should also not stop. He emphasized that every interceptor
00:12:16missile matters, these are tools that save lives, and I
00:12:19call on all partners to accelerate the adoption of all
00:12:23relevant decisions. At the same time, the President of Ukraine
00:12:27Volodymyr Zelensky notes that the supply of missiles for air defense has decreased
00:12:31threefold compared to 2025, although
00:12:34our partners still have missiles,
00:12:37well, and besides that, the
00:12:41President of Ukraine suggests why there might be
00:12:44delays, or in principle, questions raised about
00:12:48Patriots, saying that it's not just a Middle East issue. Let's
00:12:52listen to the President. understanding such a large
00:12:56deficit, and I don't know if there are other reasons besides
00:13:00the Middle East, maybe these are political steps
00:13:04to make Ukraine more, let's say, more
00:13:06compliant, yes, in my opinion, and
00:13:10not without
00:13:12this,
00:13:15Mr. Gennadiy, not giving us
00:13:18missiles against Russian
00:13:21ballistics so that we would be more compliant, how does this
00:13:25fit into the logic, into the political
00:13:28logic of some of our
00:13:29partners?
00:13:32Well, the most interesting thing here is who exactly among the partners Volodymyr
00:13:36Zelensky meant, because if we are talking about the American
00:13:40side, it's difficult to argue with Trump about
00:13:43the objectivity of deficits, because
00:13:47the United States is essentially in an active
00:13:50phase of hostilities, they need to defend their
00:13:53bases in the Persian Gulf, and
00:13:57seeing how much these munitions are actually
00:14:00spent, we can state
00:14:03that there are indeed deficits, production
00:14:07is rather slow, hostilities have not ended, prospects
00:14:10are unclear, whether Trump will defeat Iran for the 42nd
00:14:13time this year we also do not
00:14:16know, and therefore this reproach
00:14:20to the United States, it just begs the question, yes, that
00:14:24it is precisely... the States, but, there is an
00:14:28objective reason here, which is really hard to argue with. At the same time, if we
00:14:31talk about our European partners, about
00:14:35whom Zelensky spoke, well, in previous speeches, so to
00:14:39speak, he claimed that there are, and
00:14:42I think this corresponds to reality, there are existing warehouse stocks
00:14:46of these ammunition, European countries,
00:14:49accordingly, do not conduct any hostilities,
00:14:53missiles also do not fly to their military bases
00:14:56in their cities today, and such an obvious
00:15:00prospect does not seem to exist, but still
00:15:03over, as the Europeans themselves say, their minimums,
00:15:06they are not transferring these ammunition to us yet,
00:15:09or if they do, we start
00:15:12talking about the fact that the shelf life of some
00:15:15missiles is expiring, they need to be
00:15:18used or disposed of, so we ask them
00:15:21to transfer them to us, plus very often it's about
00:15:25a different type, which is not suitable for shooting down
00:15:28ballistic targets, so it seems here
00:15:32it is more reasonable that there is no such objective
00:15:36reason not to transfer more missiles to the Europeans
00:15:39than to the Americans, but on the other hand, it is also difficult
00:15:42to imagine that Europeans are pressing our position,
00:15:46because unlike the American peace plan of
00:15:5028 points, which we did not
00:15:53accept, there is a European, joint
00:15:56European-Ukrainian plan of 20 points, which
00:15:59accordingly is the product of Mr. Trump's
00:16:02creative processing, accordingly by us with
00:16:05the Europeans, so it's a bit confusing and
00:16:08it's certainly better to ask Volodymyr Zelensky, although he will hardly
00:16:12answer purely for political reasons, whom
00:16:15he meant, who exactly is pressing and accordingly
00:16:19what concessions are being discussed, considering that
00:16:23there, if we take the Americans into account, then
00:16:27everyone has already stated that the spirit of Anchorage has cleared up and that
00:16:31there will be certain new modalities, which no one has announced
00:16:34today, and I will literally take a minute of your time, our... Colleagues from
00:16:38Defense Express have described a bit about the availability of Patriots, so in general
00:16:41the current operators of the Patriot complex in the Pac-3 version are 14
00:16:45countries in Europe, these are Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Romania, Ukraine itself,
00:16:49moreover, some countries, in particular Switzerland, and Spain ordered them, but have not yet
00:16:53received them, in the Persian Gulf, these are
00:16:56Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and there they were quite
00:16:59successful during the war against Iran, well, in
00:17:03Asia - Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, where there are also their own restrictions and
00:17:07their own needs for these missiles, especially in Taiwan, which is, in principle, constantly under
00:17:10threat of a possible attack from China,
00:17:13so this is the real availability, the question is that not
00:17:17many are produced, Russia produces as many ballistic missiles as
00:17:20America produces anti-ballistic missiles in a month, what
00:17:24America generally produces in a year, well, this is for understanding what exists, so here
00:17:28the question is probably first of all about production, and what is interesting is that the United States
00:17:31of America, people who are close to this production topic, they are conducting
00:17:35negotiations with Ukraine and pushing Trump to grant such a license, and
00:17:39Poland is ready to cooperate with us, here, probably, this is an open question and the only possible thing is for
00:17:43Ukraine and Poland to jointly here in Europe with our American
00:17:46partners to produce anti-ballistic missiles, then it will be possible
00:17:50to talk about some volumes that will be realistic, what is
00:17:53currently available, obviously, we cannot say that this will significantly
00:17:57affect the volumes that Russia fires at
00:18:00Ukraine. So, let's listen now to the Head of the Board of the Stefan
00:18:03Batory Foundation, Edwin Bendek, a veteran of
00:18:07the Ukrainian focus, who spoke about the change in Trump's views, his desire
00:18:10to end the war in Ukraine. Let's
00:18:13listen. For
00:18:15Trump, most likely
00:18:18it is important to end this war as soon as possible.
00:18:22Previously, his strategy was to force Ukraine
00:18:26to make concessions, and that is why these
00:18:30were such assessments that he is, in fact,
00:18:33an ally of Putin to some extent.
00:19:17All that he said about Russia being able to somehow obtain these
00:19:20technologies,
00:19:23so, here, probably experts from these defense technologies
00:19:26should express their opinion, but I can say here
00:19:30about the Polish, the Polish side,
00:19:33because Poland, as a NATO member, can actually somehow
00:19:35intervene. And Poland could be
00:19:39such a place for the production of such
00:19:42missiles, of course, with the participation of Ukrainian
00:19:45enterprises.
00:19:49So, returning to the topic that in the United
00:19:52States, even despite Donald Trump's doubts,
00:19:56discussions are still underway about
00:19:58Patriot licenses for Ukraine, as
00:20:01Reuters reports, and also,
00:20:05you know, things that happen despite
00:20:08politics, and this is actually very good, according to
00:20:11Politico, cooperation between the U.S. and Ukraine in the field of intelligence sharing
00:20:15has returned to previous very high levels. Mr.
00:20:19Gennadiy, can we say that the position
00:20:23of Donald Trump and the White House is
00:20:27a public
00:20:29story, and there are purely technological things that
00:20:32somehow continue our cooperation with the United States, and can
00:20:36lead to a real practical result?
00:20:40Well, if we are talking about
00:20:43these so-called licenses for the production
00:20:46of anti-missile systems, I will be skeptical here simply
00:20:49because the very concept
00:20:52of this license, as we understand it and
00:20:56as it exists in our discourse,
00:21:00it is absent
00:21:02in objective reality. What I mean is, when we talk about plants in Ukraine,
00:21:06it doesn't even matter, we imagine a license as a certain single
00:21:10document, as a certain permit, which accordingly gives the right
00:21:14to assemble the necessary anti-missile system
00:21:18from beginning to end. No one in the world
00:21:21has such a license, neither in Germany nor in
00:21:25Japan, which are very often mentioned, because in Germany
00:21:29they produce a different type of anti-missile system, in Japan they produce
00:21:32the necessary one, but not all
00:21:35the relevant components the Japanese can produce, and there
00:21:39such a bottleneck is the seeker heads,
00:21:42which are produced by Boeing, so Boeing transfers
00:21:4630 of these heads to the Japanese per year, and the Japanese
00:21:49accordingly produce 30 missiles, if Boeing
00:21:52transfers 100, perhaps the Japanese will produce
00:21:56100, or vice versa, they may transfer five, and the Japanese
00:22:00will produce five, that is, it is to a certain extent a limited license, and in
00:22:03general, this anti-missile system is a sufficiently
00:22:07high-tech means and is produced by approximately 400
00:22:10companies, and the military-industrial complex of the United
00:22:14States and all, including patents and so on, they
00:22:17belong to private companies, I think...
00:22:20that there it's a separate situation, when
00:22:23it is necessary to negotiate to a large extent with each
00:22:26owner of the respective rights, plus there are also strategic
00:22:29considerations of the United States, which have not yet given
00:22:32full-cycle production of the most technologically advanced weapons
00:22:36to anyone, so in this part, this is
00:22:39well, hope can certainly exist, but it is
00:22:43rather weak, and from my point of view, the United States of
00:22:47Trump are in some ways ahead of the
00:22:50Biden administration's policy in the sense that they
00:22:53seriously engage in helping Ukraine only when there is
00:22:57a significant shift in the balance of power towards the Russian
00:23:00Federation, well, let's say, as it
00:23:03was at the beginning of the year with Starlinks, when
00:23:07accordingly, on the contrary, Ukraine begins to gain an advantage,
00:23:10the United States somewhat hinders the corresponding process
00:23:14of assistance, and we have seen these cycles, unfortunately, repeatedly, so today
00:23:18to say that Trump has changed his position radically, seems
00:23:21baseless to me, he can change his rhetoric, that's
00:23:25true, but if you look at the decisions in the long run, they stick to more or less
00:23:29the same line. Yes, but I think that business circles, and political
00:23:33circles in both the US and Poland would be interested if another place appeared
00:23:37where high-quality production of Patriot missiles would be
00:23:40established, which today, you see, are needed both in the European
00:23:43war and in the war in the Middle East, perhaps something else would
00:23:47flare up somewhere, we know that there are many points of tension, so I think
00:23:51no one would be against it, but in any case, the US Permanent Representative to NATO,
00:23:55Whitaker, said that this issue is unlikely to be resolved by the end of the year,
00:23:58but the question of choosing a preventive
00:24:01measure for the ex-ambassador of Ukraine to the United States of America, Olga
00:24:05Stefanyshyna, will be resolved already this morning
00:24:07above
00:24:1415 million bail, so let's
00:24:18let's listen to Olga Stefanyshyna
00:24:22regarding her position on the
00:24:25accusations that have been made against her in
00:24:29the comment to Slava, she actually spoke on this matter,
00:24:32let's listen, I am also ready
00:24:36to make some materials, some information public, as you
00:24:40remember, I also contacted
00:24:43the team of Bihus Info, who prepared
00:24:47the material, I provided and showed them materials that
00:24:50justify certain questions they asked in
00:24:53their investigations, I want to publicly
00:24:56state that, of course, in this courtroom, when you follow the
00:25:00session, I am a suspect, but leaving
00:25:03here, I will continue to be a mother, a politician, a public
00:25:07person, a dignified, worthy
00:25:09person.
00:25:11This is Ms. Stefanyshyn's position, this It's normal that everyone who is
00:25:15a suspect considers themselves innocent, but for this there are investigative bodies,
00:25:18lawyers, competitions. And the court, in your opinion,
00:25:22the political side of this case, we will not discuss it for sure right now,
00:25:25the factual side, but the political side of this case and your
00:25:29expectations from the decision of this
00:25:31court, and also you can express your opinion regarding the position
00:25:35of Mrs. Stefanishyna herself, please. Please,
00:25:39well, the position is correct, I arrived at the court, there is
00:25:42a presumption of innocence, I will defend myself, this evokes
00:25:45respect and it, as if this happens within the framework of current
00:25:49legislation. So to speak, and this is precisely what, on the other hand,
00:25:53if we talk about the political side, it's a bit alarming, because
00:25:57it seems to me, this particular
00:26:00process has several anomalies. Which I cannot yet
00:26:03explain, the anomalies are as follows, one can say that,
00:26:06first, when Stefanishyna allegedly wrote
00:26:10a statement about resignation from the position of ambassador, many in our
00:26:13media said that this is connected with the fact that
00:26:17NABU should serve her with a notice of suspicion of committing a criminal
00:26:20offense, and she writes a statement in order to
00:26:24return to Ukraine and defend herself, as provided
00:26:27by law, well, it sounds very progressive and in the spirit of
00:26:31a rule of law state, what not to remember that Mrs.
00:26:34Stefanishyna is already an accused in court
00:26:38and not for the first year since 2023 the Supreme
00:26:40Anti-Corruption Court is hearing the case on its merits, that is,
00:26:44there is not just a preventive measure or suspicion, but an indictment
00:26:47in court and there the case should end in any
00:26:51case with a verdict, regardless of what it will be, acquitted or
00:26:55accordingly convicted, and here
00:26:58she seems to go, well being
00:27:00a court, being under court...
00:27:03with old terminology, nothing prevented her from going to the United
00:27:06States as an ambassador, here she leaves the ambassador post due to suspicion
00:27:10and accordingly returns to Ukraine in order to receive
00:27:14a preventive measure. This return, if we assume that
00:27:17there was no voluntary, accordingly consent to
00:27:21actually resign from a diplomatic
00:27:24post, this return itself, in fact,
00:27:27causes, well, not surprise, but to a certain extent
00:27:31a well-founded doubt. because this is often done
00:27:34when they already more or less know their fate, that is, figuratively
00:27:38speaking, there is a certain agreement with the investigation, regarding
00:27:41the possible conclusion of an agreement with the investigation, or something
00:27:45like that, so we will observe, the last such
00:27:48solemn return, when suspicion
00:27:52immediately occurs, I remember, there was such a lady, I think you also remember her,
00:27:56Raisa Bohatyriova was her name, and I am not comparing
00:27:59Stefanishyna with a representative of criminal power, so to
00:28:02speak, but structurally, from the point of view of the criminal process, it was
00:28:06approximately the same, this person appears
00:28:09in the city of Kyiv, quickly receives a preventive measure,
00:28:11and then, accordingly, quickly goes through
00:28:15procedures and exits the processes, accordingly, with a clear
00:28:19conscience, and somewhere there today exists, does something there,
00:28:22I do not rule out that this year
00:28:25we will see agreements on the first case and on the second, and
00:28:29that is, the ultimate goal is such...
00:28:33purification, I do not rule out that Stefanishyna sets herself
00:28:36the goal of precisely this kind of result. I will very briefly say about
00:28:40Stefanishyna, there was also a story about the decoding, regarding
00:28:43the possible influence on the formation of
00:28:47NASK, well, this somehow, this is very
00:28:50indicative for especially for
00:28:53our movement towards the European Union, well, this here has, I wanted
00:28:57to note a little that I do not see any
00:29:00such measures from Mrs. Stefanishyna,
00:29:03at least from the public information that appears
00:29:06concerning law enforcement's questions to
00:29:10her, let's also remember that Ukrainian Pravda
00:29:13published an investigation in June, which stated that the National Agency for
00:29:17Search and Asset Management ARMA determined a company
00:29:21to manage the House of Trade Unions in Kyiv, and this allegedly
00:29:24was supposed to be connected, could have been connected with Stefanishyna's family, in particular with
00:29:28her ex-husband. Stefanishyna stated that she was not
00:29:31connected with... the activities of her ex-husband, now the SAP prosecutors
00:29:35say that Olga Stefanishyna is suspected of illegal
00:29:38enrichment and inaccurate declaration, it's about
00:29:41two apartments in the residential complex Faina Town, the purchase and renovation of which, according to
00:29:44Stefanishyna's instructions, were handled by her close friend,
00:29:48in general there is a gap in declaration, I think this is very important
00:29:52to note when we talk about certain legal processes. Today
00:29:55already around 9 o'clock we have to wait for the court's decision,
00:29:59what it will be regarding. And then we will see further, we have literally two
00:30:03minutes, I, well, a little more, I will briefly ask, trust in President Zelensky has almost
00:30:06not changed, despite the protests, these are new assessments
00:30:10from KMIS, the Kyiv Institute of Sociology,
00:30:14please tell me, first, can we now talk about the adequacy of such,
00:30:18well, the realism and compliance with realities
00:30:21of relevant sociological research, because many people say
00:30:25that all this is very selective, please.
00:30:28Well, it could be... this

00:30:34is, no matter what, in a state of war, regardless of
00:30:38appointments, cardboard boxes or anything else, and in this
00:30:41regard, more indicative would be either focus groups or
00:30:44more detailed questions, that is, in general, faith and trust are at
00:30:48a high level with us, because without the president himself, one way or
00:30:52another, embodies the signs of the state and
00:30:55is the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
