00:00:00people were injured, Many of them have an acute reaction. while
00:00:04since the beginning of the full-scale
00:00:07invasion, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights confirmed the death of at least
00:00:1116,431 civilians, including
00:00:1583 children. Many people
00:00:19were injured. Does this indicate
00:00:22that the killings
00:00:25and injuries of civilians in Ukraine in
00:00:28the Russian-Ukrainian war are Russia's tactic?
00:00:31That it is not an accident, that
00:00:34it is a systematic killing or a planned
00:00:38killing by the Kremlin, and that this is one of
00:00:41the elements of this war in order to create pressure on
00:00:45the civilian population, in order to terrorize
00:00:48the civilian population, and that this pressure
00:00:52is unacceptable in the conditions of such
00:00:55a war.
00:00:58Yes, I absolutely agree with this.
00:01:01Not even just as a human rights activist,
00:01:04because I personally have not done any separate
00:01:07research on this matter, if we are talking about some
00:01:10mathematical accuracy, but as a citizen of Ukraine, as
00:01:14a Kyiv resident, I absolutely feel it on myself,
00:01:18my family feels it on themselves, and I think,
00:01:21excuse the banality, everyone is talking about it now,
00:01:24but the helplessness of the Russian
00:01:27Federation at the front, or let's say, the absence... of
00:01:30those achievements they are counting on, forces
00:01:33them to resort to terrorizing the civilian population.
00:01:37This is not something new for Russia, we all understand perfectly
00:01:40that this state, it
00:01:43has, let's say, no limitations
00:01:47regarding the killing
00:01:49of the civilian population. That is, even within the Russian Federation itself,
00:01:53there were conflicts, for example in Chechnya,
00:01:56where
00:01:59the civilian population was massively affected, there were forced
00:02:02disappearances, and executions, and in principle, some carpet
00:02:06bombings that led to civilian deaths. So this is not something
00:02:09new, but of course it looks like a tactic of warfare,
00:02:13and some things
00:02:17like double strikes, they also testify
00:02:20to this, I mean, this tactic, when
00:02:23a strikes occur at
00:02:27a place where there was a strike recently, in
00:02:30the hope that more civilians
00:02:34and representatives of
00:02:37services who go to the scene, right after the strike
00:02:41occurs and so on, will be affected. That is, again, this is not a new tactic that was
00:02:44used in Syria, our colleagues did
00:02:47research on this, and in fact this is already, this is already a proven
00:02:51fact by some
00:02:53research reports, so yes,
00:02:57and again, this is not a surprise to anyone, I think
00:03:00that in principle, this is no longer a secret to anyone,
00:03:04the question is how in the current conditions,
00:03:08and with this escalation that is currently happening with the United
00:03:11States, to save,
00:03:14to save us, I think that
00:03:17today and tomorrow, during the forum, this will be one of
00:03:20the key topics alongside some more
00:03:23global topics related to whether Europe
00:03:27is ready for this war. How to maintain
00:03:31Euro-Atlantic cooperation,
00:03:33coordination, and whether this is even
00:03:37possible. Yes, but saving Ukraine, it seems to me, is
00:03:40an unconditional priority now in
00:03:44the discussions, including at this platform.
00:03:47When, in particular, your colleagues, with whom you
00:03:51communicate from other countries, you have already noted that further west,
00:03:55there is a slightly different attitude, yes, but when you
00:03:58communicate with human rights activists from other countries, when
00:04:01we hear this analysis and this calculation from the United
00:04:05Nations, that is, they see that 47% of all
00:04:09civilian casualties are precisely due to long-range Russian
00:04:12strikes, and most of the victims are recorded far from the front
00:04:15line, in Ukrainian civilian cities, this is already a clear
00:04:19tactic, what with all this, what conclusion
00:04:23human rights activists and the UN can draw
00:04:26from this, what is their task in this sense in the organization?
00:04:30The United Nations' only task is to record, or do they have any
00:04:33proposed solutions, perhaps an appeal for more
00:04:36assistance there for
00:04:38Ukraine?
00:04:41Well, I wouldn't overestimate the
00:04:44importance of human rights organizations,
00:04:48or the UN, so, well, I don't want to
00:04:51repeat some, you know,
00:04:55skeptical moods or phrases about
00:04:59the UN, but... We all understand that in
00:05:01the conditions of the current composition of the Security Council
00:05:05and the paralysis
00:05:08with the possibility of UN reform, there is no significant
00:05:12progress to be expected, and
00:05:16I, for example, really like that
00:05:18finally the Ukrainian human rights sector, the Ukrainian
00:05:22human rights sector itself, it seems to me, this happened
00:05:25clearly after 2022, although, probably,
00:05:29it could have been more intense after 2014, they are not
00:05:33ashamed to talk about the need to provide Ukraine
00:05:36with military assistance, that is, it is not something
00:05:38unacceptable, as they say.
00:05:42That is, this is an absolute norm, Aleksandra Matviychuk, a Nobel
00:05:46Peace Prize laureate, also calls for this, and
00:05:50it seems to me, this is a very correct position, and well, this also gives
00:05:53an impetus for our
00:05:57Western colleagues, to be clearer in their
00:06:00formulations, more
00:06:04sharply demanding support
00:06:07for Ukraine, but again, I wouldn't
00:06:10overestimate the significance of the UN,
00:06:14nor human rights defenders, in general, because the key word now is still
00:06:18with the governments
00:06:20of our allied countries, which should maximally
00:06:24support Ukraine, and we know that with this there are also, well, let's say,
00:06:28there can be problems in connection with elections in
00:06:31European, in some European countries. I hope this
00:06:35won't happen, but this is, of course, our next
00:06:39challenge for the next year, which
00:06:42may, unfortunately, somewhat weaken us. Yes, well, and
00:06:46speaking of European partners, of course, I am now at the European
00:06:50platform, but I want to say that in just a week
00:06:53an event will take place in Kyiv with the participation of representatives
00:06:57of the Global South, these will be non- governmental representatives, these will be
00:07:00journalists, experts, but these are people whom we bring to
00:07:04Ukraine, who fortunately agreed to come
00:07:07even despite the worsening security situation,
00:07:11and I understand that now... against the background of what is happening, this
00:07:14seems, you know, somehow too
00:07:17strategic to work with the Global South, but still it needs to be
00:07:20done, and there, of course,
00:07:24the situation is much more complicated, many times more complicated,
00:07:27yes, but these are also UN member countries, these are representatives of UN member
00:07:30countries, we need their voices and we generally
00:07:33need to establish this dialogue, because for
00:07:37Russia this is now simply a base, yes, that is, they
00:07:40have a very strong position there.
00:07:43Well, and for us, in a strategic sense, it is also
00:07:47important to solicit this support, or, let's say,
00:07:50to deliver our messages there, to find
00:07:54allies there, to find understanding there, including
00:07:57parallels between some colonial experiences, between
00:08:01experiences of overcoming the consequences of armed conflicts,
00:08:04wars, overcoming corruption, and other challenges
00:08:07faced by the developing
00:08:10world.
00:08:12reports that Europe is preparing restrictions on the entry of Russians
00:08:16due to the threat of hybrid attacks, can
00:08:19this wall, which can
00:08:23be built on the border between Europe
00:08:26and Russia, somehow protect the world from
00:08:29Russian hybrid attacks and terrorist attacks, and
00:08:33obviously, it is not only about war
00:08:37criminals who are certified by
00:08:40the International Criminal Court and issued warrants, but also about
00:08:44civilians, or how to fight with Russians at all,
00:08:47are there good
00:08:50Russians and bad Russians, or should
00:08:53we react harshly to
00:08:57all Russians, since they represent a state that is
00:09:00terrorist in its essence?
00:09:04Ah, yes, well, there are many questions here, and
00:09:07probably this is a topic for a separate discussion, as
00:09:11for entry, so... we actually heard another
00:09:14statement a few days ago in support of the idea of
00:09:18restricting the issuance of tourist visas to citizens
00:09:21of the Russian Federation, I think this is the right decision,
00:09:25I, including as a person working in the human rights
00:09:27sector, fully support
00:09:31and share it, because we understand that
00:09:34well, this is a window of opportunity for
00:09:38potential, I don't know, saboteurs,
00:09:41spies, anyone. This does not mean that this will completely
00:09:45solve all problems, in my opinion, I am not a security
00:09:48specialist, but still, I understand
00:09:52that this will not solve all problems, but it will
00:09:55significantly help, it seems to me, to limit
00:09:58the potential flow
00:10:01of some such destabilizing elements
00:10:04to the countries of the European Union. It seems to me that now this is no longer
00:10:08a question of solidarity with Ukraine, it is a question
00:10:12of the security of the European
00:10:15Union itself, and this understanding is increasingly present,
00:10:19and that is why voices supporting
00:10:23such ideas are heard, because this is already becoming a question of the survival of the
00:10:26European Union itself, and as for
00:10:29Russian citizens in general,
00:10:32well, as I said earlier, although not without
00:10:36doubts today I agreed to take
00:10:38part in a panel with Garry
00:10:42Kasparov, who supports the Ukrainian army, absolutely
00:10:46openly, and that is, they organize
00:10:49collections, so, that is, it's not even some rhetorical support,
00:10:53well, I decided for myself that I can participate in
00:10:57an event on the same platform with such a person,
00:11:00yes, although not without doubt, again, I do not consider the presence
00:11:03in the same room with
00:11:07any other representatives of Russia, but for me
00:11:10it is a sanitary corridor, so to
00:11:13speak, a sanitary border, a sanitary line,
00:11:17therefore, but in general, I think that today's discussion will be
00:11:21very interesting, I am very interested to hear what our European...
00:11:25friends, and there will be representatives of very serious think tanks,
00:11:29influential people, what they generally think about the future of Russia, what
00:11:32red lines, generally, in
00:11:35order to accept
00:11:38any potential changes in Russia,
00:11:42yes, that is, in what form it should be and so on,
00:11:45and again, against the background of what is happening in
00:11:48Ukraine, it is also important for me to emphasize that
00:11:51let's talk first of all about how to support Ukraine. How
00:11:55to help Ukraine stand, and conversations about
00:11:58the future of Russia are also important and it is very important that the voice of Ukraine
00:12:02is present there, but nevertheless, these are now such,
00:12:06you know, some rhetorical exercises,
00:12:09but they are not a conversation now about realities, on the other
00:12:13hand, it seems to me that even now, well, it is very important for us
00:12:16to articulate that not all
00:12:19opposition, so, that is, these are already obvious things for us,
00:12:23yes, I'm afraid that here it's not for everyone. Obviously, not
00:12:27everyone who is against Putin is acceptable
00:12:30to us, even to be in the same room,
00:12:33yes, so yes, well, in fact,
00:12:37I think that as of now it is so, but
00:12:41- the more restrictions there are for representatives
00:12:45of the Russian Federation to enter the country, of course,
00:12:48the better. Thank you, thank you, Maria, for joining our
00:12:52broadcast, Maria Tomak, human rights activist. Head
00:12:55of the board of the public organization Media Initiative for Human
00:12:59Rights, we talked about the Warsaw Security Forum, where Maria
00:13:02is currently located, there will be discussions, also
00:13:05follow our
00:13:08broadcasts, what is happening on the air of
00:13:11Slava, because in a few hours the Supreme Commander-in-Chief
00:13:15of the Allied Armed Forces of NATO in Europe, Alexus
00:13:18Grinch Grinkevich will present at the defense forum in
00:13:22Warsaw a new alliance strategy, called
00:13:26the theory of victory, it provides for a rapid repulsion
00:13:29of a possible attack from Russia, as well as the use
00:13:32of innovation, what is known at this moment about
00:13:36the new plan, we have already discussed it on our air, let us remind you
00:13:39that a live broadcast will also
00:13:42be available today during the day on our air at
00:13:4514:10, if I am not mistaken, until 14:40 Kyiv
00:13:49time, and this broadcast will also
00:13:51be available live on television.
00:13:55The press, well, and tomorrow, obviously, already
00:13:58in the morning, Kateryna and I will discuss this theory
00:14:01of victory with our experts and guests, I hope
00:14:05you will be interested to hear what exactly
00:14:09this theory of victory includes, what steps
00:14:12NATO predicts
00:14:15it will take
00:14:17and apply to avoid a large-scale war with
00:14:20Russia as a preventive measure. Well, in the meantime, we will talk about another event
00:14:25that took place on October 8-10 in
00:14:28Kyiv. This is about
00:14:31Donbas Media Forum 2026. This is
00:14:35a media forum that gathered media
00:14:39journalists, media managers, journalists,
00:14:42communicators who discussed
00:14:44actually current problems of the profession
00:14:48and established communications. Of course, it was about what
00:14:51the role of journalists is during the great Russian-Ukrainian
00:14:55war, and also the challenges faced by media and
00:14:59journalists in this difficult time.
00:15:03The main topics of discussion were collected for
00:15:06you by our colleagues in the material
00:15:09below.
00:15:11How not to lose a person amidst wars, political
00:15:14crises and the rapid development of artificial intelligence. This
00:15:18question became a cross-cutting one at the Donbas Media Forum
00:15:212026, whose information partner
00:15:25is the Slava TV channel. The leading theme this year is people,
00:15:29for people and about people. In addition, the participants spoke
00:15:33about European integration, editorial independence and
00:15:36financial stability.
00:15:39This year we thought about how to bring people back to the center,
00:15:42to the center of media discussion, to the center of the media agenda,
00:15:46because especially in recent years we have talked a lot about artificial
00:15:49intelligence, about hype, about the influence
00:15:52of technological giants and so on, and for us
00:15:56it seems very important to talk about people and to bring people back into
00:15:59focus. Special attention was paid to practical steps
00:16:03of media Eurointegration. Forum participants
00:16:06discussed how the co-regulation system works,
00:16:09a mechanism by which industry representatives jointly
00:16:13develop rules of work. In Ukraine, it has been in operation for
00:16:16a year, but different segments of the media market are progressing
00:16:20at different speeds. In Ukraine, we have four bodies
00:16:24of joint regulation. In the field, I will speak
00:16:27audiovisually, that is, television, audio, that is,
00:16:31radio, online and print. And
00:16:33we see that with different dynamics these bodies.
00:16:37are gradually developing their instructions
00:16:40and doing important things
00:16:43for the market. Experts also
00:16:46considered how EU membership will affect
00:16:50the work of the media, what new duties, rights and
00:16:53opportunities will appear for the media during Eurointegration,
00:16:57and also when the editorial offices will feel this influence and whether they are ready
00:17:01to adapt national
00:17:04legislation to EU requirements, it needs to be done before
00:17:08we join, so separate laws,
00:17:11draft laws, they are already developed, and
00:17:15will be adopted faster, and therefore certain rules can also
00:17:18come into effect faster. Another
00:17:21key direction of the forum is the work of Ukrainian media in
00:17:24the conditions of a full-scale war. Military units are increasingly
00:17:28actively, independently creating content and communicating with
00:17:31the audience, so journalists are no longer the only
00:17:34intermediaries between the front and society. At the same time,
00:17:38military communication and independent journalism
00:17:41have different tasks. Communication
00:17:44departments are largely staffed by civilians,
00:17:47just as at one time many civilians joined
00:17:51the Ukrainian army, and they changed the army, the army
00:17:54changed them, and they changed the army. The same thing
00:17:58is happening with communications. This
00:18:00is a strange, strange symbiosis of civilian experience
00:18:03and military experience today. A separate topic is the stories
00:18:07of Ukrainians who survived Russian captivity.
00:18:11Stories of released prisoners help draw
00:18:14attention to those who still remain in captivity. At
00:18:17the forum, they talked about how to cover such stories
00:18:21without exposing prisoners and their families to additional
00:18:25risks. The logic that we
00:18:28saw is very simple: if a person was public
00:18:31before falling into captivity, then this publicity
00:18:35will not harm them, if
00:18:37a person was not public, then, accordingly, the responsibility of
00:18:41the media and the family directly
00:18:45leads to the fact that the
00:18:48person in captivity has problems. Another
00:18:51difficult topic is access of journalists to information
00:18:55about the war. Editorial offices need operational
00:18:58comments and the ability to independently cover
00:19:01events, while the military must take into account that
00:19:04published data may affect people's safety and
00:19:07the course of operations. When we talk about freedom, when we
00:19:11talk about democracy, there is one aspect - freedom and
00:19:15freedom of speech, but there is another aspect - it is also
00:19:18the responsibility of everyone in a warring country, both
00:19:22military, and commander, and
00:19:25media representative. All this needs to be discussed, the question is when
00:19:28it needs to be discussed, and to whom, and how? From
00:19:32Eurointegration to war coverage, Donbas Media Forum
00:19:35united topics that define the work of Ukrainian media
00:19:39already today. New rules,
00:19:42security restrictions and technological changes pose
00:19:45various challenges to editorial offices, but at the center of
00:19:48journalism remains the human being, their right
00:19:52to know the truth and to be heard.
00:19:56An interesting theme of this year's forum, which took place
00:19:59in Kyiv, so here I am media, a person for
00:20:02a person about a person, we have already discussed throughout this story with Serhiy.
00:20:06What is happening today with classic
00:20:10media, with classic journalism, which must verify
00:20:14information, which should not use only
00:20:17hype, emotion, or
00:20:21vice versa, intimidate somewhere, right, in order
00:20:24to get views, but
00:20:27such media initiatives, or whatever you call them, exist, these are Telegram
00:20:31channels, which we are also subscribed to, of course, and
00:20:34we follow their activities, these are separate individuals,
00:20:38who can, just to
00:20:41hit us viewers where it hurts, try to
00:20:45intimidate us, consciously or
00:20:48perhaps hastily, somewhere
00:20:51manipulate, well, because they hastily posted some information
00:20:54and did not verify it, for example, or they presented
00:20:58this information in such a way that we would
00:21:02again react emotionally,
00:21:06without verifying, and already with a certain mood live this day,
00:21:09live this day, draw our own conclusions,
00:21:12so indeed, what is the role of classic media and where is
00:21:16the person in all this now, this is interesting.
00:21:20The question, Serhiy, in your opinion, are there prospects for
00:21:23journalism, because the survival of classic
00:21:26journalists in classic media, I will just quote our colleague Vitaliy
00:21:30Portnikov, a few weeks ago, when we talked for the black
00:21:34box, he said that years will pass, artificial intelligence, how it all
00:21:38works, and someday our avatars will sit on
00:21:41air, and tell something, not someday, but
00:21:44tomorrow, tomorrow they will sit, this is true, but
00:21:47not today, right, well... what
00:21:50is happening in the media during the great war is a great challenge for
00:21:54classic media, for media, for television,
00:21:57for radio, for news agencies,
00:22:01for newspapers, for magazines, those that are still published, because
00:22:04in fact, Kateryna rightly said that there are
00:22:07operational media that work in the information field
00:22:11and on which some Ukrainians rely, these are
00:22:14Telegram channels, which very quickly provide information, literally
00:22:18minute by minute, when there are... missiles or drones flying and they provide certain
00:22:22operational information, much more operational than what
00:22:26classic media provide, which usually
00:22:29verify information, that is, confirm this information, and this
00:22:33is a very big challenge, a big challenge both for journalists who
00:22:36work in classic media, and for classic
00:22:39media themselves. Well, I can give an example from last
00:22:43week, when I was watching what
00:22:46was happening in the airspace
00:22:50of Kyiv and there were strikes on
00:22:53bridges that connect
00:22:56the left-bank, the left-bank part of the capital and
00:22:59the right-bank, and one of the Telegram channels provides
00:23:02information, well, I will literally quote,
00:23:05the bridge is falling, so
00:23:08where it says falling on one line, and bridge on
00:23:12another, I think, oh my God, the bridge is falling, or is it falling
00:23:16on the bridge? Here's a clear example of how
00:23:21information in Telegram channels can
00:23:24cause panic, information in Telegram channels
00:23:27can somehow incorrectly interpret what
00:23:31is happening in the airspace
00:23:34of the capital, and not only in the airspace of the capital, this
00:23:37is a great challenge for the entire
00:23:40journalistic community, because we can talk about
00:23:44human-centeredness, but we see that
00:23:48most Telegram.
00:23:50and most media outlets that are not official, they
00:23:54hype on this, gain additional
00:23:57subscriptions, gain more information
00:24:00dissemination, this of course requires
00:24:04more thorough work from classic
00:24:08journalists, journalists who work in
00:24:10classic media, who are used to verifying
00:24:14information, and they rightly said at this forum
00:24:18Donbas Media Forum, that
00:24:21it is necessary to talk about
00:24:23communications, it is necessary to talk about how exactly
00:24:27events unfold in Ukraine,
00:24:30there should be some unified standards, although, well, for
00:24:33me, as a person who started in 1992
00:24:36in Ukrainian journalism, these are absolutely
00:24:39obvious things, and for you, Kateryna, too, that
00:24:43there are certain rules, there are
00:24:46certain agreements, there is
00:24:50a certain strategy of how media work,
00:24:54and they are not only
00:24:57for Ukrainian journalists and not only invented by
00:25:00Ukrainian media, these are journalism
00:25:03standards that accordingly give a certain idea of
00:25:07what is happening in Ukraine, including
00:25:11what concerns
00:25:14the Russian-Ukrainian war, of course, what
00:25:16concerns exclusively security and defense issues. And
00:25:20information that cannot be disseminated in
00:25:24the media, this information also exists, but
00:25:27still, we should
00:25:30distinguish where there are classic media, there are media
00:25:34that are actually even outside the legal
00:25:38field, because it seems to me that Telegram channels, they do not regulate
00:25:40activities by anything other than perhaps the form
00:25:44of organization there, a sole proprietorship, some
00:25:47money comes in, donations from people who... watch, read
00:25:51Telegram channels, so it is important for us
00:25:54to actually have this discussion, because during
00:25:574.5 years of war, this
00:26:01information field has changed a lot. Ukraine and we still need
00:26:05to do everything so that people consume quality
00:26:08information food and do not
00:26:12constantly eat burgers or some uh
00:26:16information snacks in order
00:26:19to satisfy their interest in what is happening in
00:26:22Ukraine. Yes, here we need even a simple example, we
00:26:26are sitting on the air, so among ourselves, if we were sitting there and talking to someone,
00:26:30we would have seen some quick news there, well... well, on Telegram channels, we
00:26:34could have voiced it in the kitchen and
00:26:37somehow checked it, and then what? Go google it, look at official
00:26:41said something, for example, or not,
00:26:44when we are sitting on the air, we also watch quick
00:26:47news, we cannot just tell you, because this is a great
00:26:51responsibility, we check, editors
00:26:54check, guest editors refer to primary
00:26:57sources to check this information, and only after such
00:27:01verification can we... we can voice it on air, again, this
00:27:04is a great responsibility, disinformation is
00:27:08a serious, serious story, and information, as
00:27:11you quoted, that the bridge is falling, well, this is already
00:27:14such a great psychological pressure, really,
00:27:17and someone, someone's loved one might just be driving on that
00:27:21bridge at that moment, well, for example, yes, or there, this is already a certain
00:27:25stress, and you will not get rid of it, you have already experienced it, and you
00:27:29already go on with it and live, but how...
00:27:32what are we, we didn't invent journalism standards in Ukraine, we
00:27:36took the best from
00:27:38democratic countries, this is what has really been proven
00:27:42for decades, but on the other hand, we also find ourselves in
00:27:46a situation when Ukrainian journalists, performing their
00:27:49journalistic tasks in European countries, here we will now
00:27:53specifically talk about Austria and
00:27:56about the example of investigative journalists from Ukrayinska
00:27:59Pravda, in particular Mykhailo Tkach, what we saw... yes, at the end
00:28:03of last week, when they, performing their journalistic
00:28:06task, were detained, and as Mykhailo
00:28:09himself said in an interview with Sevil Musayeva on the pages
00:28:13of Ukrayinska Pravda on YouTube, that he generally spent the first hour
00:28:17when he was laid face down
00:28:21on the ground, they said nothing, they explained
00:28:24nothing, he did not understand whether it was a kidnapping, that is, he thought at
00:28:27some point that it was a kidnapping, until he was somehow picked up, he saw police
00:28:31cars, he... understood, and he said that he even exhaled,
00:28:35yes, that this is in principle some kind of story, that is, this
00:28:38is also new challenges, when journalists work in certain conditions, and
00:28:42this really still needs to be investigated, to understand what happened,
00:28:46why journalists during the performance of their journalistic task
00:28:50were able to be detained so simply somewhere, well, and operational
00:28:53information appeared that the enemy attacked
00:28:56railway and energy infrastructure in
00:28:59Zhytomyr region, objects of railway and
00:29:02infrastructure in Korostyn district of Zhytomyr
00:29:06region were repeatedly shelled from Sunday
00:29:09evening as a result of attacks, fires broke out, information
00:29:12about casualties was not received, this was reported by the head of the Zhytomyr
00:29:16Regional Military Administration, Vitaliy Bunechko, in a Telegram
00:29:20channel post on Monday morning, but this information
00:29:24has already been verified and reported by Interfax Ukraine,
00:29:27the information agency, and of course, we
00:29:31are following what is happening in Ukraine, and we will follow
00:29:34what will happen at the Warsaw
00:29:37Security Forum, let me remind you that today this forum starts, at
00:29:4114:10 on Slava's YouTube channel, you can
00:29:44watch a live broadcast in Ukrainian translation,
00:29:48and at 14:10 there will be
00:29:51a broadcast on Espreso TV channel, so wait, what
00:29:54will be said today at the security forum, we
00:29:57will hear tomorrow and discuss with our experts. So, Ukrainian Focus
00:30:01morning. This week we are hosting for you,
