According to Arefiev, people write on social networks that it is possible to pass the checkpoint if you only pay a bribe to the Russian invaders.

“Locals say that the amount of a bribe is from 20,000 to 40,000 hryvnias. These are the so-called living corridors, because Russian infidels continue to shell the civilian infrastructure of our settlements. There are many reasons – again, for people to collect money and pay them,” the speaker says . .

Arefiev also said that for the Russians people are human shields. This is not the first time that they have recorded that they have convoys that fire at the cars of civilians.

The situation in Zaporozhye

A day later, on May 23, our defenders withdrew 25 Russian invaders from the battle, shot down a plane and drones. This makes it difficult for the Russians to gain a foothold.
• However, the Defense Forces of the Zaporozhye Territory reported that the situation in the region remains difficult. Russian infidels are preparing for the offensive, but there are no too active hostilities. But Russian troops are shelling our positions along the line of confrontation. They try to take the best positions and regroup.

Andrusov told why Ukraine needs weapons from partners so much/Collage of channel 24

Ukraine continues to wait for the weapons it needs from Western partners. Our state has already managed to receive some military assistance, but there is one that has not yet been received, although it is very necessary.

Victor Andrusiv, adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs, told Channel 24. He noted that now Ukraine does not receive all the weapons that it would like.

Why we urgently need weapons from the West

As Andrusov noted, the key issue that our allies are now considering (in particular, during the Ramstein-2 meeting) is an increase in the number of artillery for Ukraine. He explained that the West has never relied on artillery in wars.

Russia has been living this history since World War II. According to Andrusiv, now everyone understands that this Russian-Ukrainian artillery war.

We are running out of ammunition for Soviet howitzers, our Hurricanes and Tornadoes. Western weapons are already needed, the issue is acute, since you can get a very large supply of ammunition for them,” Andrusov stressed.

Why are there supply delays

According to him, the supply of weapons under Lend-Lease is an ongoing process, not tied to specific dates. He stressed that Ukraine has already received armored personnel carriers and howitzers from the allies, which continue to arrive in our state, that is, their number is constantly increasing.

However, Andrusiv noted that we are not getting everything we wanted. First of all, this concerns the latest weapons, since training on how to use them is still ongoing (for example, kamikaze drones or MLRS multiple launch rocket systems).

Key question

The adviser also told what weapons Ukraine needs to carry out a successful counteroffensive. He noted that the previous stage of the war, where howitzers were necessary for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, was closed. Now the key issue for us is missiles with a range of 300 kilometers or more. Andrusov said.

He stressed that today this issue is extremely important for the West, and not just for us, since it is about unblocking the Black Sea. At the same time, without missiles with a radius of 300 kilometers, Ukraine will not be able to unlock it.

Evgenia Kravchuk about Zelensky's speech in Davos/Channel 24 collage

On the eve, Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He spoke about the victims of the war, and about military assistance and about the possible consequences if the world does not resist Russian aggression. At the same time, Putin's friends are trying to promote other messages in the international community.

Yevgenia Kravchuk, MP from the Servant of the People faction, told Channel 24 about this.

She emphasized that Ukraine was in the focus of attention in Davos. According to her, Vladimir Zelensky actually opened the official day with his speech. He was the most awaited.

Kravchuk said that during his speech, the president mentioned that no one should have any illusions that it is possible to force Ukraine to make concessions or give up part of its territory.

For such statements are already being heard. Putin's friends have come to their senses after the first shock and are trying to promote such messages that the aggressor (Russia) cannot be pressed against the wall, because something unpredictable will happen. – explained the deputy.

However, the Ukrainian delegation convinces that it is necessary to fight for international values, because otherwise some aggressor in every corner of the world, having weapons, will attack other countries and disrupt the world order, and then there will be a complete disaster.

< p dir="ltr"> She added that the American scholar Timothy Snyder said bluntly during the forum in Davos that there will be no democracy if Ukraine loses .

“Then everyone will think that democracy is a weak form, and dictators and autocrats will “wake up” and there will be hybrid democratic countries like Hungary. After all, it's like a democratic country, but if you look closely, you can see that not everything is so simple” , – says Kravchuk.

Zelensky delivered the first message – that Ukraine will not give up. The second message is that in order to defeat us, we need weapons, effective sanctions against Russia and, of course, Ukraine needs a new “Marshall Plan,” the deputy stressed.

In her opinion, with regard to the latter (the Marshall plan), it is necessary that these be concrete steps. And the Ukrainian government already has a proposal.

“Some cities will need to be built from scratch. In particular, cities have been bombed near the Kiev region, we need to start everything from scratch. And, of course, we the structure of the economy will change, we will actually become a great Israel. Everything will be rebooted,” she replied.

According to Kravchuk, Ukraine will have:

• at the heart of the defense industry,
• information technologies related to the security sector,
• agriculture is moving to processing products, and not just exporting raw materials.

Yevgenia Kravchuk on Zelensky's speech in Davos and the message of Putin's friends:

By the way, Davos hosts an international economic forum. The day before, on May 23, President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke there. The head of state asked for a video call, he was congratulated with applause.

Zelensky's main statements at the economic forum in Davos

• Zelensky at the beginning of his speech described what humanity will expect if it misses the turning point and does not draw the appropriate conclusions and actions.
• He stated that Russia has become state of war crimes and what it brings to the world, inspiring other potential aggressors.
• The President emphasized that Ukraine had set a historic precedent for courage by not listening to those who said that our defense would not last more than a few days. “We stopped the Russian army, which was called the second in the world,” he said.
• Zelensky is convinced that the war could have been prevented if the peace had been preventive. Therefore, he urged not to wait for Russian shots and the use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, but to implement sanctions: an embargo on Russian energy carriers, shutting down banks, stopping trade.
• Zelensky also drew attention to trade. After all, there are still global companies that openly or covertly trade in Russia. The President invited these companies to enter and work on the Ukrainian market.
• Zelensky also invited the forum participants to take part in the restoration of Ukraine, the amount of work of which was colossal. After all, our state suffered more than a trillion dollars in losses due to the Russian war.

A new formation from old acquaintances appeared in the Verkhovna Rada/Channel 24

Interesting parliamentary news yesterday – the creation of a new deputy group – “Restoration of Ukraine”. Since in the conditions of war our internal politics are almost on pause, this is already causing additional interest.

Judging by the information reports, people's deputies Igor Abramovich and Maxim Yefimov acted as co-chairs of the group. It included 17 deputies, mostly representatives of the former Opposition Platform for Life, which was recently banned.

Promiscuous businessmen

Almost all members of the new deputy group come from business. Former representatives of the Opposition Platform for Life, who were part of this group, at one time joined the Opposition Platform for Life purely opportunistically, in order to make it easier to get into parliament. were different. It was a political business.

Now they want to separate even from their former colleagues in the Opposition Platform for Life, who are trying to carry out a certain rebranding of this party. And that's right. It may be late, albeit as a result of dramatic circumstances for the country, but for some of these deputies, their previous mistakes also need to be corrected.

Loyal

For some of this group, this is another manifestation of the political situation , but now they understand that they need to show loyalty to their country.

I emphasize, not only loyalty to the authorities (with this, most likely, there will be no problems), but to the country and the state. And this should be not only purely formal loyalty, in particular, in the legislative process, but also active assistance to the state and the Armed Forces of Ukraine in those regions and sectors of the economy of Ukraine where these deputies work.

To punish or not to punish

Now there are many voices in favor of the fact that all former representatives of the Opposition Platform for Life should be demonstratively punished, deprive of deputy mandates. But, firstly, it is not so easy to do it legally correct. And this must be taken into account.

Second, we need to be flexible and differentiated. It is not necessary to divide everyone only into friends and enemies.

Those who sided with the enemy should be punished, and those who do not support their own state during the war should be asked.< /p>

It is better to make loyal partners from other former opponents (especially purely opportunistic ones) than to reject them into a hostile state.

If we act only on the basis of the imperative of intolerance, then this will only be in favor of the enemy and may increase its potential. And so the crushing of the former HLE and the loyalty of its former representatives to the state as a whole works for the interests of the country. Although it is necessary to continue to pay close attention to the activities of all these deputies. They must demonstrate by their deeds that they have drawn the right conclusions.

Information vacuum

In conclusion, about the information side of parliamentary affairs. When information about a new deputy group appeared, I tried to open information on the website of the Verkhovna Rada about this group, its composition, individual deputies included in its composition, but for some reason data on people's deputies, on individual factions and deputy groups are not open .

What's the matter here – is the site under reconstruction or was this information temporarily closed for the duration of the war?

I don't think this information is too secret, it eventually can be found in other sources. Therefore, the leadership of the Verkhovna Rada should deal with the work of their website.
