00:00:00the British party had a softer attitude towards the EU, Canada
00:00:03is obviously recovering, but the question is that there are still
00:00:07great chances that in some countries ultra-populists have
00:00:10chances, in Spain, for example, there are chances, in
00:00:14Poland, we see that frankly
00:00:17anti-Ukrainian populists, if to be honest, apart from AfD and Polish
00:00:20anti-populists, nowhere else is there such a
00:00:24degree of anti-Ukrainian sentiment, but
00:00:27Poles are no strangers to making fatal mistakes. so
00:00:30I think that yes, the threat is still there, but it is
00:00:34much smaller than before 2024,
00:00:37because yes, ratings have grown a bit since then, but the trend
00:00:40has changed, and Trump has greatly contributed to the change in trend,
00:00:43because he demonstrates what
00:00:47the power of really slightly crazy ultra-right
00:00:51is, and it is obviously ineffective and harms
00:00:54the state they rule, and but again,
00:00:58if European elites do not start solving the problems
00:01:02that generate such sentiments, and this is primarily wild, absolute
00:01:05social disappointment that has gripped Europe, which feeds
00:01:09the ultra-left, the ultra-right, and deindustrialization that has occurred over the last
00:01:1230 years, then of course they will still have political chances, we need to
00:01:16treat the root causes, and they are economic, Mr. Yuriy, we
00:01:20just before you talked about the psychological
00:01:23aspects of manipulation, consciousness, involvement, and how this can
00:01:27affect, I will ask you from the point of view. this
00:01:30bet that Russia
00:01:33is making on the European theater of operations, because it sees, aha, here in
00:01:37France, it's normal and massive, after the yellow vests,
00:01:41young people went to destroy their native France, because these are
00:01:44such amazing syndromes,
00:01:47that is, I love myself so much in my country that I will just
00:01:51burn it, destroy it, break it,
00:01:55I saw similar syndromes, like in Iraq, Iraqis
00:01:59historical monuments during
00:02:02the war against Saddam, that is, let
00:02:06psychiatrists explain this, but we immediately saw how the Russians
00:02:10picked up these protests and how
00:02:13they carefully through a fairly large number of
00:02:17necessary, we will push in
00:02:21free Palestinians, we will reinforce them
00:02:24with our means and people, where necessary, we
00:02:27will bring out, for example, in Poland or in Berlin. people who will
00:02:31hold the most radical slogans, and then our
00:02:35colleagues-correspondents come up, ask questions, and it turns out that the person,
00:02:38except for Russian, cannot communicate, so we
00:02:42understand that they are working, so it is not necessarily
00:02:45that Russia launches these mechanisms,
00:02:49but now it is already flying,
00:02:51France is burning, now it has already gone to
00:02:54Brussels, now even to Austria, Vienna
00:02:57has spilled over, how much this... the bet
00:03:01of Putin's Chekists can work out with
00:03:03such street
00:03:05chaos,
00:03:08again, the question here is that the reasons are always more complex,
00:03:12there France, we can recall 1968, well, hardly
00:03:15remember to read about 1968, about how these massive protests
00:03:19took place, which then spread to neighboring
00:03:22countries, including Germany, in Germany it
00:03:25led to the formation of two wings of the left
00:03:29actually came to power in the social democratic party
00:03:32and became such a left-centrist force, and the other then
00:03:36created the Red Army Faction, which was
00:03:39probably the largest European terrorist
00:03:42organization, uh, on the one hand
00:03:45it killed former Nazis, and on the other hand, whoever they could
00:03:48reach, well, this is not the first time this has happened, and it must be understood that this is also
00:03:52a reflection of a certain social degree, and Russia always
00:03:56uses this very skillfully, it like any
00:03:59dictatorship. which is guided, including,
00:04:01applies the mechanism of cognitive warfare,
00:04:05Russia actively applies, and undoubtedly, it will
00:04:09fuel and ignite all possible
00:04:12centers of one political instability or another,
00:04:16both in Ukraine, taking advantage of our mistakes, and in Europe, and in America,
00:04:20that's why they support Trump, because he works for division, that's why they support
00:04:23the ultra-right, the ultra-left, and, but they will not break
00:04:27the European system, it is too reliable, first of all, and secondly,
00:04:30protests are still the
00:04:32norm, a democratic norm, they are just a bit destructive in France, but they were
00:04:36always like that there. Mr. Yuriy, thank you
00:04:39for your comment, for your participation in our program, Yuriy Bohdanov, political scientist
00:04:43and expert in strategic communications, we still have
00:04:46a lot of interesting things, but first let's watch the news
00:04:49exactly at 18 and return to this
00:04:53studio, stay
00:04:53with us.
00:05:16Every day brings hundreds of loud news, but do we know
00:05:19what is really behind them? The new
00:05:22analytical podcast of Vitaliy Portnikov and Kateryna Nekrecha
00:05:26helps to understand the chaos of events. One
00:05:30issue, one main topic. About what
00:05:33is fundamentally important for our struggle and the existence
00:05:36of the state in the analytical podcast Black
00:05:39Box. On Sunday at 19:00 on Espresso.

00:06:27You know, I was doing sanitary pruning of
00:06:30grapes and plums just the other day, and I regretted that I didn't have such a saw
00:06:34at hand, because I waved so much, and
00:06:38such a saw, such a compact one, was exactly what I
00:06:41needed. I will tell you that this is generally even a women's option
00:06:45for saws and that you will be able to manage even without some male
00:06:49help with such a saw, here you go,
00:06:52a strong cordless saw, durable,
00:06:55reliable, and actually capable of handling
00:06:59such tasks that you couldn't even imagine,
00:07:02so even if you want to prune an old rose
00:07:06bush, so that you don't have to use pruning shears
00:07:09or that saw, you just do it
00:07:13in one go, and now let's meet the cost, only from
00:07:16999 UAH for a strong
00:07:19saw, a great saw, it's cordless,
00:07:22meaning you are energy-independent with all this, by the way, I was
00:07:26skeptical about cordless
00:07:29tools, now I'll tell you my story, but how foolish I was, I missed
00:07:32a lot, look, it always
00:07:34seemed to me,
00:07:36that a cordless, well, that's how it is in principle, an electric tool,
00:07:40a cordless tool, it's less powerful than, say, a gasoline tool,
00:07:44for example, especially a cordless one, and when I saw that there was
00:07:47a cordless lawnmower, my neighbor walks with such a cordless
00:07:51lawnmower, oh my god, I think what will she mow with that battery,
00:07:55how long will it last, but no, she mowed, and quite well, it
00:07:58was quite powerful, I thought, what
00:08:01is it, so, we asked, inquired, she says it's cordless,
00:08:05but it worked fine, well and did her
00:08:08job well, then I was given a cordless
00:08:13secateurs, on a battery,
00:08:16right? Oh my god, how beautiful it is, I was ready to
00:08:20cut everything I saw, and in principle, that's how it was, I couldn't
00:08:23stop, and then I see a cordless saw,
00:08:27oh my god, how beautiful it is, sanitary
00:08:30pruning of branches, this solves our most
00:08:33important task - sanitary pruning of
00:08:37trees, branches, yes, well, I wouldn't try to tackle
00:08:40a large trunk with such a saw. We also understand that
00:08:44it's not for some large trunks, but please,
00:08:48branches, and especially if they are soft
00:08:52wood species, let's also not forget that there are soft
00:08:55wood species, and there are hard
00:08:59option will definitely not work, but this option will work with
00:09:03plum, and with cherry, and with
00:09:05fruit trees, and with walnuts, in principle, this option can
00:09:09also work with such a saw. You
00:09:13just do such a nice sanitary pruning of trees, but
00:09:16if you have this, if you have acacia growth,
00:09:20for example, or cherry growth, right,
00:09:23you cut it with that shovel or axe, oh my god, you
00:09:26can also cut right into the ground with such
00:09:30a saw, don't worry that dirt will get in there, as it gets in,
00:09:33it will fly out just as easily, especially since you will still clean
00:09:37the chain, you will also tension it, yes, someone else lubricates
00:09:40chains in principle. And so this
00:09:43saw, I just couldn't
00:09:46put it down at all, I didn't let go of it literally the other day
00:09:50now when I had dacha days, I just wouldn't let go of it
00:09:54when I pruned grapes right away, I do sanitary pruning right away as
00:09:58soon as I harvest grapes, it's more convenient for me, and somewhere
00:10:01I was already struggling with these secateurs, but this saw would have saved me so much
00:10:05effort, so much time, this is generally a cool story,
00:10:08this saw and cordless tools are a very cool story because you don't
00:10:12need gasoline, there's also this gasoline equipment, well, that's
00:10:15generally terrible,
00:10:18then you walk around, smelling of these exhaust gases, gasoline
00:10:22splashed on you somewhere, then you start it, until the gasoline. some spark plugs are
00:10:25flooded or something, well, this is not our, not a woman's story
00:10:29for sure, there are electric tools, it's
00:10:32easier for us with them, yes
00:10:35with electric tools you can do whatever you want on an extension cord,
00:10:38yes, but these extension cords that you also
00:10:41press down on, especially when you have a large yard, yes, it's not
00:10:45enough, you need another extension cord, that's also a story,
00:10:48and so girls, a cordless
00:10:51tool, you walk with it calmly, you don't drag any cord
00:10:55behind you. you go any distance
00:10:59away from the outlet, you don't care, so you went somewhere, some people have big yards,
00:11:02some want to do something in the garden, maybe some cherry growth in the garden needs
00:11:06to be cut, this is generally an ideal story, you charge
00:11:09the battery and you don't know any trouble, I recommend it and I recommend it again, all
00:11:13technical characteristics, please, on the screen, and if you have any other
00:11:16questions, ask our managers, hurry up while this opportunity
00:11:20is still available and get it as soon as possible and you will
00:11:23still work with it in this area. zone,
00:11:45now the main thing, you are watching Espresso, Olesya Vakalyuk, Roman
00:11:49Chayka, we are glad that you join us, and we are glad that you
00:11:52have already spent two hours with us, and you will spend this hour. until 7 p.m. we
00:11:56work together with Roman, and in this hour
00:11:59we will start by talking about how
00:12:02we will spend the winter with or without light, when somewhere else in
00:12:06the country everything is normal and stable with electricity, there are
00:12:09cities where it is already very, very bad, and as
00:12:13we already spoke today with our correspondent from
00:12:16Kyiv, who says it's just October and October is quite
00:12:20warm, and there are already power outages, what to expect in winter,
00:12:23Volodymyr Omelchenko, director of energy programs at the Razumkov Center, we will
00:12:27ask him about this, he is on the line with us, Mr. Volodymyr, greetings,
00:12:30I also greet you, are you with light or without, do you have
00:12:34electricity, and I will say the same thing that our
00:12:37journalist said, her question was
00:12:40what to expect in winter, when already in
00:12:44October the capital has electricity interruptions, with
00:12:47emergency disconnections,
00:12:50yes, well, I am here in Sviatoshynskyi district, there
00:12:53was no light for a day. Then it appeared, now there is
00:12:57none again, why did this happen, because it does not
00:13:00depend on the temperature, now why does it not depend, because in
00:13:04principle we have solar power plants,
00:13:08nuclear units are working,
00:13:10hydroelectric power plants, the problem is somewhat different, that
00:13:14the enemy is trying to cut off the Kyiv region from
00:13:17the energy system, and the Kyiv region itself
00:13:20is extremely energy-deficient, because it was
00:13:23already energy-deficient, and they also destroyed Tez
00:13:27and Trypilska Tes and now they are cutting off the
00:13:31Kyiv energy ring along
00:13:34the perimeter, which connects the Kyiv
00:13:36region with the unified energy system, and as
00:13:39a result, uh, this region, like
00:13:43some others, because
00:13:46this means that the transmission of electrical energy depends
00:13:49on the Kyiv region
00:13:52and other regions. That's why they are in a state
00:13:55of almost total
00:13:58deficit, yes, that is, to assess what
00:14:02will happen next, the energy experts cannot, I do not have
00:14:05enough information, why they cannot, because in principle, the question is not
00:14:09whether these substations
00:14:12of high-voltage power lines
00:14:15are protected, but they really
00:14:19Ukrenergo did a good job in recent
00:14:22years and built large
00:14:25reinforced concrete blocks over the transformers, they
00:14:28are all protected, but it is impossible to protect all equipment, because
00:14:32it is 10 hectares of area,
00:14:35and the main, so to speak,
00:14:39reason, and why there are such disconnections, is
00:14:42not because of energy workers, that they prepared poorly
00:14:46or not, but because right now such a window
00:14:49of opportunity for Russia has opened up through
00:14:52reactive drones, that a huge...
00:14:55number of them reach
00:14:58the substations of high-voltage
00:15:01lines and virtually shoot them like in a shooting range, and
00:15:05here, you know, the energy workers can do nothing, especially
00:15:08they repair, yes, that is, they try, even risking
00:15:12their lives, here it is necessary that
00:15:14the leadership of our country
00:15:18appeal to the people, which knows all the information from
00:15:21the point of view of the possibilities of
00:15:25air defense from the point of view of Russia's ability
00:15:27to shell, what else to do for people, they
00:15:31should appeal, not an expert who does not possess
00:15:35all the information, because... the main problem
00:15:38is, this is a military component in
00:15:41these attacks, Mr. Volodymyr, if the enemy
00:15:44uses, as you say, this window of opportunity, and
00:15:48systematically cuts off the energy island
00:15:51around the capital, and from
00:15:54the country's leadership, military-political, we heard
00:15:58that a technical-military solution,
00:16:01particularly in terms of, for example, interceptors
00:16:04for those reactive...
00:16:08Geraniums will be somewhere by the end of autumn,
00:16:12then this is precisely the question that we would ask
00:16:15you to communicate, if it
00:16:19levels off, at least to the figures that
00:16:22our defense forces showed for
00:16:25those slow, as they say, mopeds, shaheds,
00:16:29that is, in the range of 90% interception, will this
00:16:32mean that our energy workers will be able,
00:16:35let's say, at the turn of autumn... winter,
00:16:38to return electricity, in particular to such cut-off energy
00:16:42islands, which the capital
00:16:44has become? Well, I think so, that most likely
00:16:48the situation will be better, yes, that is,
00:16:51but until the end of autumn
00:16:54people need to somehow survive until these
00:16:57anti- reactive drones appear,
00:17:01yes, that is, what will happen before that, people
00:17:04need to somehow... live and need to know detailed information about how our
00:17:08air defense process
00:17:11is developing, about the protection of the
00:17:14energy system, because unfortunately, in
00:17:17Kyiv we still see another very difficult problem,
00:17:21which is that the Kyiv City
00:17:24State Administration did not prepare,
00:17:27let's say, for all this,
00:17:30practically they could not even power
00:17:34critical infrastructure.
00:17:37In the fifth year of the war, yes, well, this is their
00:17:40responsibility, no one is responsible here, except them, except
00:17:44the Kyiv City State Administration, they have no one to blame,
00:17:48and the mayor of Kyiv, there is no one to blame here, you understand,
00:17:51that is, the state, the government is responsible for
00:17:54electricity supply, yes, and for the protection of
00:17:58infrastructure, but for criticism, for
00:18:01critical infrastructure, for its backup power, the
00:18:05Kyiv City State Administration
00:18:08is directly responsible, led by the mayor of Kyiv, it frankly
00:18:11failed this plan, this is another very serious
00:18:15problem, so it seems to me that so that it is not like
00:18:18in 2022, that
00:18:21people did not know what to do, so that the situation did not
00:18:25catch them unawares, people, who
00:18:28are ministers, I don't know, the government, should
00:18:31appeal to the people, explain the whole situation in detail, what
00:18:34they, what they should count on, honestly?
00:18:38Talk frankly with people, I don't see this
00:18:41yet, well, there were calls that people should leave and
00:18:45look for some alternative housing, Mr. Volodymyr, today
00:18:49after the Russian shelling, the metro stopped, will
00:18:52this now also become such a common
00:18:56thing that the capital's subway will stop
00:18:59due to power outages, because this is the main, the main
00:19:03transport in Kyiv,
00:19:06well, it is quite possible. I cannot say this for sure, because
00:19:09I do not have the information that
00:19:12is related to intelligence data on
00:19:15attacks on our infrastructure by Russia, their
00:19:18capabilities, our capabilities to shoot down,
00:19:22this is absolutely secret information, I do not possess it,
00:19:25but the situation, including with the metro, depends
00:19:2890% on this information, but the fact
00:19:31remains, that the Kyiv
00:19:35City State Administration failed. its
00:19:38task, and they should have powered at least critical
00:19:41infrastructure, this was not done, so we see
00:19:45that the metro is not running, that there are problems with
00:19:48water supply and so on, so it
00:19:51seems to me that here there is a specific
00:19:54name, patronymic and surname, who is responsible for
00:19:58what. Mr. Volodymyr, when you spoke about
00:20:01the cutting off of energy deficient islands,
00:20:05we understand that these main
00:20:09power lines
00:20:11should actually come from our nuclear power plants,
00:20:15switch over, and here we have already seen
00:20:18many videos of how Russian drones,
00:20:21so-called mustachioed ones, work, and they are shown to us,
00:20:25that is, they are called upon to cut
00:20:29high-voltage power lines.
00:20:33How to put up protection or
00:20:36add air defense to power generation facilities,
00:20:39we somehow saw and understood this, but here you can't
00:20:43protect every power line, do you see any technical,
00:20:47technical military solution here? decision,
00:20:51in particular, well, now this is not the most serious,
00:20:54the main problem, that they have such
00:20:58drones and can blow up power
00:21:01line poles, yes, that is, well,
00:21:05there were indeed isolated cases this
00:21:09year, last year, but the most important problem is
00:21:13that the enemy strikes substations, the main
00:21:17equipment of substations, high-voltage power lines,
00:21:20including those substations that supply power from
00:21:24nuclear units, and thus we can have
00:21:27power, and we have additional power, that is, we
00:21:30do not have major problems with power
00:21:33now, the problem is with transmission, and
00:21:37it is the inability
00:21:39to protect
00:21:41these substations, since they are simply shot like in a shooting range,
00:21:45through this window of opportunity for Russia, which
00:21:49we talked about. Yes, this is the biggest
00:21:52problem, which can
00:21:55escalate into such a very
00:21:57serious humanitarian catastrophe,
00:22:01but I don't know that, I can't say for sure, I can't scare
00:22:04anyone or reassure anyone, because understand that now the main
00:22:08factor is the military factor, and we
00:22:11know nothing about it, well, as an energy expert, I know nothing about it,
00:22:15I cannot analyze the
00:22:19military factor, which determines
00:22:2390% of the state
00:22:24of the energy system,
00:22:27induction, when it, we saw these options, electricity
00:22:31disappears, then water disappears
00:22:34or energy pumps, yes,
00:22:36or
00:22:38for too long without electricity there are base
00:22:42stations and even elements that are designed to maintain
00:22:46communication internet,
00:22:49but... correctly, this situation should have been foreseen, and
00:22:53for this there were almost 5 years for the Kyiv City
00:22:56Administration, electricity disappears, from the unified energy system they should have
00:23:00switched on backup, backup
00:23:03power, and immediately connected these pumps,
00:23:06including the metro, but the Kyiv City
00:23:10Administration did not do this, and in fact
00:23:13it was, I don't know, was it sabotage, or was it conscious or
00:23:16unconscious actions, but the fact is...
00:23:20we are faced with the fact that practically
00:23:23even the minimum was not done by the Kyiv
00:23:27city authorities. Mr. Volodymyr, what about other cities
00:23:31that are also shelled quite often
00:23:34by Russia, which of the cities can be given as
00:23:38an example, for example, Kyiv?
00:23:42Well, many, probably many cities, because
00:23:45perhaps such a level
00:23:48of neglect of people,
00:23:52as in Kyiv, is nowhere, yes, so I think that
00:23:55any place, city, it, any
00:23:59government in any place, it relates more
00:24:02responsibly to its residents, than
00:24:05the mayor of Kyiv and the Kyiv city administration do,
00:24:09well, we see this for ourselves practically,
00:24:12even in frontline, even in frontline areas,
00:24:16cities, where sometimes the situation is better than in
00:24:19Kyiv. just in a few words, explain, we also understand that this is
00:24:22from the same opera, yes, but there was
00:24:26a story when for a certain period in Kyiv,
00:24:30wastewater disposal disappeared, what people call sewerage,
00:24:34and then voices were heard that one must be ready
00:24:37to literally drain all this into
00:24:40the Dnipro, that's what was heard
00:24:42then, how dangerous is such
00:24:46an ecological sewerage
00:24:50catastrophe, this question is not for me, please, you need to
00:24:53contact Klychko, the
00:24:56administration, who, this is his
00:24:58task, to ensure the viability
00:25:01of the capital, so I am not
00:25:04a specialist in wastewater disposal, so
00:25:08other specialists are needed here, it would be better
00:25:11if the mayor of Kyiv and the heads
00:25:14of the Kyiv City Administration explained this situation, they
00:25:18also spoke about... yes,
00:25:21energy supply, thank you, Mr. Volodymyr, for the explanation,
00:25:24we wish you that the light returns to you, a day without
00:25:28electricity, Volodymyr Omelchenko, director of energy programs at the Razumkov
00:25:31Center, was with us, and now let's talk
00:25:34a little about our military and about what
00:25:38they say that they are treated as
00:25:41redundant, over 50% of veterans said that
00:25:44the state does not protect their rights, this was voiced by our
00:25:48ombudsman Mr. Lubinets, Yevhen Fylypets,
00:25:51military lawyer, is with us on the line,
00:25:54we will talk about why the military has such feelings.
00:25:58Mr. Yevhen, welcome. Good
00:26:01evening. Listen, more than 50% of veterans -
00:26:05that's a lot, well, the ombudsman voiced it, I think that he has
00:26:09some kind of operation, some research, there is some
00:26:11survey,
00:26:14I think that the ombudsman opened the incoming complaint registration journal and
00:26:18saw everything very well, the office calculated the figure for him, in which
00:26:21it is clearly defined how many people applied with a
00:26:24complaint not regarding mobilization, already specifically
00:26:28servicemen, although they have their own ombudsman, by the way,
00:26:32and... and family members of servicemen who
00:26:35either fight, or who, unfortunately, died, or are missing, because
00:26:38as a practicing lawyer I constantly encounter this
00:26:41block, because the social block is very
00:26:45large today, I already said in our previous broadcast, we all
00:26:49constantly comment on mobilization, but TCC is called broader,
00:26:52TCC and SP, so about this SP part, about
00:26:56this, about this direction of the work of the military enlistment office, this is a very
00:27:00important point, because there are many many nuances
00:27:03and people have now found
00:27:07an opportunity to contact the authorized person, his tools are also limited in his
00:27:10hands, he contacts the relevant body to
00:27:14deal with it and they give some formal replies, usually
00:27:17in accordance with there in the best case, in
00:27:21the worst case, they can just tell the person to go to court,
00:27:24this is a very common refusal,
00:27:27which they say, and we go to court, win cases, prove
00:27:31this to...
00:27:34That's how social support works today. Lubinets
00:27:37says that most often defenders and families of the deceased complain about problems with receiving
00:27:41financial aid, certificates, and also about obstacles in undergoing medical and psychological
00:27:44rehabilitation. So in your practice, what are
00:27:48the biggest and most common complaints
00:27:50of the military?
00:27:52Well, actually, here we need to figure out that each sectoral
00:27:56complaint is actually divided by target audience. If we are talking
00:27:59about servicemen, then this is of course everything that...
00:28:02concerns the Military Medical Commission, that is, people want to properly undergo
00:28:06a medical examination and what concerns payments, by the way, even recently
00:28:09people contacted me, I was surprised, the guy there actually almost
00:28:13falls under the category of hero of Ukraine, wounded
00:28:17and does not receive payments for the period of treatment and rehabilitation, this is a very common
00:28:20story, when they demand a passed Military Medical Commission, when he himself cannot
00:28:24initiate it and payments are stopped, that is,
00:28:28the issue of payments from military units - this is a very important issue,
00:28:31and... the second issue, regarding family members, here the important
00:28:35point after death is this path
00:28:38of documents, for what people apply for legal
00:28:41assistance, because everything is very simple, documents move very slowly,
00:28:45documents can get lost along the way, there are
00:28:48problems with documents, despite the fact that we have declared
00:28:51digitalization, like
00:28:55the absence of paper in the army, that is, it is an army plus and other
00:28:58moments that should do all this automatically, but it works in paper form,
00:29:02so there are
00:29:05there are also other issues that are also very actively
00:29:09considered, imagine a situation where
00:29:12massively, massively alcohol is found in the blood
00:29:15of a serviceman, cases are won in courts,
00:29:18alcohol is not an obstacle to payments to the family, families are not
00:29:21notified, for example, about certain funds on the account, just
00:29:25recently people from Lviv region from a small village
00:29:28contacted me, they say that a man went missing,
00:29:33the family cannot receive payments, there is such a specificity
00:29:36of the case, but on the account of this man there are still 2 million UAH
00:29:40in the military unit, but it is the task of the military enlistment office to notify, to make
00:29:43a request, to find out if funds have accumulated on his account or
