Our correspondent dmytro didora knows what other innovations future schoolchildren can expect. He is with us live. Colleague, congratulations, what does the reform entail and what innovations should we expect . I congratulate khrystyna, i also congratulate our viewers. Currently, in ukraine, only 35 of ninth grade graduates choose specialized secondary education. The same as in switzerland, germany or austria, this share reaches 70 . Thats it. The first goal of this reform is to increase the popularity of vocational secondary education. Therefore, from 2027 , innovations are expected in the form of changes in professional choice, two of their schools will be turned into lyceums, there will be two choices, academic or professional. The academic one involves the preparation of schoolchildren for admission to a higher educational institution, and the professional one is aimed at obtaining a profession and further entering the labor market, we will hear a comment from the ministry of education later. Our goal, first of all, is for the child to have more subjectivity, there was a choice, first choosing a profile, then choosing a part of the items inside ones profile, a part of the items that can be chosen regardless of the profile in order to try something, and for this, for here another part of the transformation is already underway, so that this the choice appeared at all, we need the high school to be big, right . Because you cannot implement such a large choice if you have a total of 15 children studying in the 10th grade. According to the ministry of education, such a program will be implemented in large cities it is easier than in small communities, but in small communities, they provide for the creation of one lyceum in a certain, certain territory of the community and already there to organize a ride to this educational institution, and it is possible to. Even create conditions for students to live there, socalled campuses , this is as expected in the countries of europe or america. And she noted today that the 11year educational process takes place only in countries such as russia, belarus or azerbaijan, and the 12year educational process is already the requirements of the european union, where it seeks to join ukraine. So, the first students who will choose for themselves. Academic or professional lyceum, it will already be in 2027, they are now in the sixth grade, thats all i have time to tell you, christina, i give you ether. Thank you, dmytro, our correspondent dmytro didora told what innovations await ukrainian schoolchildren. He threatened to turn off the lights to the athletes.

Mr. Dmitry, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. Hello, thank you for the invitation. Lets start our conversation with the russian offensive announced, or predicted by president zelensky, at the end of may, at the beginning of june. What are the likely scenarios of the development of events and the direction of the offensive and the readiness of the russian army for this big. Its not worth the offensive, mr. Serhiy talk about the fact that the russian offensive, unfortunately, does not stop, the offensive that began in october, it is currently continuing along the entire length of the ukrainerussian front, so when they talk about the next offensive, which should take place at the end of may, at the beginning of summer, i have big questions, and this information is based, respectively, on this Main Development department, the ministry of defense, how is this. Disinformation of a senior official, i will remind you, from october 2023, respectively until april 24, to the russian occupiers managed to capture approximately 500 km of ukrainian territories, and we are assured that the front line is currently stable, the stabilization of the front is probably evidenced by the immediate battles during the occupiers are trying to break through, including using heavy Armored Vehicles, the great ukrainian positions. Another question, we hold back. Currently these promotions. The situation in the lyman direction is just as difficult. The occupiers are simultaneously storming dravina bilogorivka from the vesel district of donetsk oblast with the aim of creating an operational encirclement of the Ukrainian Group in the siversk region. The situation in the maryansk direction is no less complicated, where one flank of the offensive is in the ugledar region, the other in the kurakhova region. And accordingly, the volodarsky direction, where the occupiers, unfortunately, had tactical successes in the district. Point shevchenko, plus a notso complicated situation in the zaporizhzhya, orekhiv direction, where, accordingly, the occupiers are hitting the junction between the recruitment works, unfortunately, they have a tactical advance, then explain to me whether the offensive is taking place or the stabilization of the front, and in general this thesis about the next russian offensive at the end of may, and where does such information come from, especially, lets talk about the fact that the russians are currently using the so called window of opportunity, i explain what we are talking about, precisely by the end of may, the armed forces of ukraine will receive artillery shells, whether on the czech initiative, it is 1 million shells, or, accordingly, on the initiative of the eu countries 500,000, and perhaps both initiatives together will work 1. 5 million shells, the russian occupiers are currently capable of producing 10,000 units per day, simple arithmetic , 300 to be per month, in this way we will be able to equalize the coefficient of fire damage by the end of may, and explain, the occupiers do not understand this, probably on the contrary they are making maximum efforts to try to reach the administrative borders of the Donetsk Region by the end of may. Look at what is happening in all areas of the front, the tactics of the occupiers attacks with the use of heavy Armored Vehicles have changed, which has not happened for a long time, you have demonstrated these successes. Actions in the lymansky direction, respectively, a similar situation was in the avdeivskyi direction, on in the same bakhmut direction, in the orichiv direction, that is, it is trying to push the positions of the armed forces of ukraine using even heavy Armored Vehicles, not counting losses, even the personnel here is absolutely not counted, it is counted by the stratagems of Armored Vehicles, because they perfectly understand until the end of may. In addition to these two initiatives announced by me, and accordingly the political crisis of the United States regarding the package vote , package aid not only to ukraine, but also to israel and taiwan, respectively, will be removed from the agenda. Why are these being promoted to us . Silly theses. Mr. Dmytro, lets listen to what the head of the Main Intelligence Department of the ministry of defense Kyrylo Budanov said in an interview with the german tv channel ard. How does he characterize the situation at the front, and what does he think about the advance of the russians, which may take place in mayjune . Well, first of all , at the end of spring at the beginning of summer, we are waiting for the intensification of the enemys offensive actions, first of all on the territory of donbas, they will advance a little towards the temporal ravine, will go in the Strategic Direction of pokrovsk, if russians with. Well, bild writes that over the past 10 days, Russian Troops have advanced another 23 km west of avdiyivka, as you said, the most significant advance is recorded in pervomaisk, between tonenko and umansky and in semenivka, well, that is, the russians are trying to use this pause, which we have had with. Financing or with the supply of weapons, including from our american partners, and in this way to turn the situation around, which means that obviously by midsummer we will see more or less a clear picture of whats going on it will be by autumn, by the beginning of summer, and moreover, mr. Sergey, i thank you for quoting bohdanov, well, explain to me, the man is really detached. From the situation on the line of hostilities, there will be possible advances towards the time of the yaro, the battles in the time of the yaro are being fought, this is how the head of the Main Intelligence Department of the ministry of defense characterizes, sorry, they overslept avdeivka, when the occupiers, using the drainage system, were preparing this breakthrough to the rear for several months in the armed forces of ukraine, igur did not. See him, so, actually, it is worth saying that due to the failure of the Main Intelligence Department of the ministry of defense, what happened in the avdevka area, a breakthrough in the rear of the Ukrainian Group. And accordingly, the further withdrawal of the armed forces of ukraine from avdiyevka, which we could hold for more than one month. I will recall the actual events of 22 , when i reported, including on your air, first they gave gur information about the possibility of the crossing of the occupiers in the lisichansk area, they even told the place where this crossing would take place, the relocation of pontoon equipment. Ignored completely information, and for three days, the representatives of the gur come out, the russian occupiers have crossed over in the area of ​​lschansk and we are currently forced to leave the city, a city that could be held for more than one month, sir, i will give the last example, mr. Sergey, the gur comes out, says that seven planes were destroyed in yesk, this information is refuted even by the information cesspool, the institute of study. War, which say that there are no visual confirmations, there are no satellite images that would indicate the destruction of the planes, and in the first version it is reported that two su25 planes were completely destroyed, burned in puppy, the second message in a day, they do not appear at all, it turns out that they destroyed four s30 cm and three more planes, is this the level of competence . How much can we play these, sorry, budan games . Well, mr. Dmytro, there is the Supreme Commander and there is the commanderinchief of the armed forces of ukraine, well, obviously they decide who is in charge of the Main Intelligence Department of the ministry of defense in us, we can only comment and state some facts, or in this case you can comment on them and make your own estimates, against this background we see. Like the russians are dispersing information that kharkiv may be captured by Russian Troops, president zelenskyi said that today kharkiv is well protected from a land invasion by Russian Troops, and he called the talk about the plans of the occupiers to seize the city targeted disinformation, but if the whole story surrounding kharkiv is the informational and psychological special operation of the russians, then. What do you think is the reason for such an aggressive bombardment and the task of strikes, missile strikes on kharkiv, what, what goal are the russians pursuing . Thanks for question, mr. Serhiy, first of all to provoke the socalled process of internal migration, 1,300 thousand in kharkiv, and accordingly, in addition to the informational and psychological operations of the Russian Special services, which are carried out , including in the ukrainian media. Regarding a possible attack on kharkiv, these indiscriminate strikes are made on the residential infrastructure, and the tactics of business terrorists are used, i explain what we are talking about, the tactics of the socalled double strikes, first the first strike is made on the residential infrastructure, on the spot of the crime of the russian occupiers , representatives of the Security Forces, rescuers, and medical services arrive, and at this moment, the moment of the maximum accumulation of rescues. The representatives of the Security Forces and medics are dealt a second blow, and at this time, when the russians are trying to pull the ukrainian trail in the terrorist attack in moscow by the ears and tie us to idols, the occupiers themselves are using the tactics of terrorists and works, here even an Evidence Base is not needed, but the main thing is that the russians are currently trying to provoke chaos, panic, mistrust of actions Central Government and respectively. On the president of ukraine, i. E. To provoke a mass exodus of the civilian population from kharkiv, and this is a threat corresponding to national security, imagine a million forced migrants, this is also a blockade, respectively, of transport infrastructure, a burden on local central authorities, and most importantly, a situation of chaos in the country , moreover, if you look, mr. Serhiy, and you are an excellent analyst, they are trying to stir up a similar situation around a possible attack on kyiv, on sumy, etc. And thirdly, why the russians raise this topic diversion of operational reserves of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. In other words, the thesis about the possibility of an offensive is thrown in, accordingly, the general staff must react at the time of redeployment of operational reserves. Instead of covering the most difficult areas of the front, the donetsk direction. The armed forces of ukraine are forced accordingly. To stretch their efforts to cover the kharkiv, sumy direction, and, accordingly, the kyiv direction, these are the three key aspects of this informational and psychological operation of the Russian Special services, and. Unfortunately, well, im sorry, the western media also help, todays publication by the economist, first of all, i have a question for terikhov, who gave you the permission to invite foreign correspondents to the regime facility, the article clearly indicates a secret facility in the industrial zone, this is the first, second, english journalists actually give an assessment of the capabilities of the russian occupiers in the article, six general divisions are formed. With the number of 120,000 , hysteria is fueled in siberia, that is , the number of the division of the armed forces of the occupiers, which is special for foreign forces, is 12 000 personnel, 6 by 12 72, this is so that you understand that any information from the economist, new york times, washington post, Financial Times must be verified, and most importantly, dear company, trust only verified sources of information. To the ukrainian general staff, mr. Dmytro, i also wanted to ask you about these forecasts regarding the mobilization, the possible mobilization of the russians, because the russians deny the fact that from june 1 they will additionally mobilize 300,000 people, zelenskyi says that these people are also being trained and mobilized people in order to involve them in the russian. War, at the same time the ukrainian side says that we do not need to mobilize 500 thousand people, as the previous leadership of the armed forces of ukraine allegedly wanted, that is, if the ukrainian leadership says that they are preparing 300,000 people there, we 500,000 is not needed, but how much does ukraine need then, and whether or not the ukrainian leadership is sincerely talking to ukrainians now is an open question. Mr. Serhiy, moreover, lets talk about the fact that it looks quite strange, well, dissonant , sirskys statement about the fact that no one will sit out, right . At stake is the question of the very fact of the existence of the ukrainian state, so it will be determined then, 300 thousand is enough, or no one will sit out, and accordingly, the protection of ukraine is the sacred duty of every ukrainian, and this accordingly indicates that the mobilization plans completely different, and. Why is there such a discrepancy in the statements . And most importantly, why was there a wave of information about 500,000 in order to move the money, there are no questions, they have moved, but the question arises, four months have already passed, why the law has not been voted on yet about mobilization, why western partners should put pressure on us at the moment of voting and the president should come out and explain to us that they are refusing help. Because, instead of the voted law on mobilization, and accordingly the mobilization plans have not been adjusted, so who should fight with the zarmuskals, the countries of the west, which find a million shells, and sorry, the current minister of defense has not been able to find these shells for a year and only states such a concept like the projectile famine that is happening in general in the ministry of defense. Countries, why the czechs find a million shells, why does estonia declare that it has found a million shells, it is already 2 million, and it died in a year, could not find even 100 thousand shells, but 1. 5 million, a billion hryvnias of state funds, which the state allocated by the ministry of defense for the purchase of shells , are withdrawn through corruption schemes. Outside ukraine. So i have a question are you going to fight at all or not . This is probably a rhetorical question, and its not rhetorical, mr. Sergey, its already boiling. And i understand what has been brewing not only within ukraine, but also among partners. If youll excuse me, does the president have to go public and say that the allies asked the rube question, or do you . Vote on the law on mobilization, or you will be left without help, because we do not understand the trends that are happening in ukraine, here it is quite a simple question, if president zelensky, as the Supreme Commander of the armed forces of ukraine, goes to the podium of the Verkhovna Rada and says
