in the president's office, these are the things that need to be done, at the same time, we must explain to our partners, including the united states, that the situation inside the united states actually depends on how events unfold in ukraine, because the elections are ending, but the problems are not going away, so if putin is not stopped now, he will become exactly the same headache for trump if he wins or for biden, so we need to close all these issues as soon as possible. making it impossible for the entire disease to develop in europe continent called russia. and this is exactly what sullivan was talking about. well, by the way, today marks the 29th anniversary of ukraine signing the budapest memorandum. the usa, the united kingdom and russia acted as guarantors of ukraine's security in exchange for our nuclear disarmament. after leaving the soviet union, ukraine had the third largest nuclear potential in the world. russia has violated the bdpp russia has violated the budapest memorandum,

and the united states and the united kingdom have failed to protect our country from invasion. ukraine has started consultations with the european union regarding collective security guarantees, it was reported on the website of the president's office. the first round of consultations took place the day before with an emphasis on the security and defense segment. mr. maksym, about the security guarantees of the budapest memorandum. more precisely in their guarantees, unfortunately we made sure on february 22, february 24 in the 22nd year, yes, and if we talk about a new contract that can and should be concluded, yes, with our partners, what it should contain in itself such, iron, if it really was, it was a guarantee of safety in in the future from the russian federation, in particular, conditionally speaking, you know, so that he would not repeat the fate of the old man, he acted, the point is that. the ineffectiveness of the budapest

memorandum, we could see it three times before february 24, 2022, the conflict around the island of tuzla, the situation with gas wars, the annexation of crimea and the beginning of the war in donbas, these are all three cases in which ukraine began to appeal to the organization of the united nations, to the security council, directly to these countries, that russia is an enemy, she does not follow budapest memorandum, something needs to be done and radical steps must be taken, and precisely since 2003, we can say that the budapest memorandum has already died, because it stopped functioning, it stopped fulfilling its basic function, so of course, talking about security guarantees from the european union or individual states of others, that is fine, but we all convinced ourselves that there cannot be a better guarantee of security for ukraine than ukraine joining the north atlantic alliance in principle, because only nato, as of today is the force that putin fears, which can guarantee ukraine real guarantees. security, because the things

we are talking about with you, with the united states , with the european union, with individual countries of the european union, these are not guarantees of security, they are guarantees of deterrence, they do not guarantee that russia will not attack us, they can help us limit russia's influence in its attack on ukraine. maksym, what do you think can guarantee, in fact, what safeguards can there be, taking into account the fact that ukraine has started negotiations, so on issues guarantees of security, and in your opinion, did the eu hear , or do you think, did the eu understand the mistakes of 13-14, when ukraine spoke, and, moreover, it would be good for the european union to understand the mistakes of this year and last year, when they promised us a million of ammunition , of which we received 300,000, but today there was a meeting at which representatives of the european union and ukraine talked, at which the highest officials of the european union said that we will provide assistance... so much is needed and in

such volumes as needed , that's what we need now a million munitions, where are they, we do not have enough opportunities now to launch a full-fledged war, these are the things that the europeans cannot provide answers to, and rather these so-called security guarantees, which are not even in the official document in english are security guarantees, the ukrainian media space has already adopted such and such wording, but they are quite framework and we do not yet see the concrete content, ukraine has begun to win there... they are separate with the states, separately with canada, with the netherlands, france, germany, with many other states, and each of them has its own certain content, and considering that they started in august, in fact these negotiations, and now we are moving into a more practical plane of these agreements, indicates the fact that this is a very complex mechanism at the same time , to at least understand the architecture, the mechanism of how to fill them, so in the coming months we will obviously hear confirmation now from france, which stated that by the new year they wanted sign

these security guarantees, and then we're done we will be able to understand to what extent they have applied significance, because everything we have seen before this is not really a plan for the victory of russia, it is a plan to keep ukraine, at least in the state in which it is now, and this fundamentally does not suit us . thank you, thank you maxim. we thank you. maksym dzhigun, a political scientist, was a guest of our studio. next , we will talk about a new approach to mobilization, which is being introduced in ukraine. thus, the ministry of defense signed contracts with companies for recruitment to the defense forces. for more on this new approach, about this innovation, how it works. ask the head of a company engaged in recruiting for the ministry of defense, we see artur mikhno on our screens. mr. arthur, yours, our greetings to you. good evening and glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, mr. artur, please tell us how

this initiative works in practice, how the search for volunteers and fighters for the ministry of defense is carried out, these are civilians, as far as we understand. so let 's start with the fact that this is not a new approach to mobilization, it is an aid to mobilization, and a language it is about active recruiting, that is, the opportunity for people who want to proactively respond to offers that are placed directly, units and brigades and well, various military units of the defense forces, can you hear me, it ’s good to hear you, arthur, but please tell me well, this program has been working for some time now, how does it work, how much, tell me, maybe you have some kind of sample, there are already

statistics about how many resumes you conventionally receive there per week, per day, how willingly people submit these resumes, on what vacancies... or for what directions most willingly, which least? ok, and now let's give the second part, after we understood that this is not mobilization, but help in recruiting, let's say that this is not a contract with the ministry of defense, but a memorandum, that is, the company workuua, the largest employment site in ukraine, signed a memorandum with the ministry of defense on assistance. we provide this assistance absolutely free of charge and we will certainly help the country as much as we can until victory. how, now, how does it work, after the memorandum was signed,

every unit that belongs to the defense forces, including the armed forces and other military formations can, absolutely free. register on the workua website and post information about the positions that they have open and for which they need people, and these can be both military and conditionally civilian professions that are needed in the army. it is important to say that non-military professions are very important for any... military unit, because such positions as, for example, a mechanic, as a diesel operator, as a gas welder, a construction worker, and even, it would seem, well, but the clerk and the cook are also very important, because the work in these

positions is professional, it allows the military unit to be much more effective than when someone is on them, well, let's say , random, so when specific, a specific unit has a clear position, it can look for the most qualified specialist for it, and in this the siteworkua can help quite qualitatively and quickly, why, because with the help of ordinary, ordinary specialists it is quite difficult to find, moreover, the motivation of people when , well, let's say so, them appointed, but not self-chosen, it will always be lower, if the motivation is lower, then the efficiency will be lower, we help to increase the probability that

a person with a specialty can get into a place of his own choosing, to enter into a contract with the defense forces , to receive, including a decent salary and all opportunities to serve directly according to one's qualifications. thank you thank you, mr. artur, for joining in and explaining how this process takes place, it would seem that this is a seemingly simple task, how many nuances do you see? explained, artur mikhnok, the head of the company engaged in recruiting for the ministry of defense of ukraine, well, then about the magic, about what i personally love very much, this holiday, and in general, these are all the traditions and rituals to prepare for this day, today in kyiv the installation of... links on sofiivska square has been completed. the official opening is planned for december 6, before st. nicholas day,

but in lviv and poltava, the christmas tree was already lit today, and other cities of ukraine are also preparing for this city. have you already decorated the christmas tree? i'm already beautiful, i don't know yet if i will be to establish it, that is, whether it is appropriate to celebrate new year's and christmas holidays, and what ukrainians think about this, we asked the residents of kyiv about it. let's hear the thoughts. i think that now it is not style that is important, because now there is a war in ukraine and we do not know what will happen tomorrow, we are in such a state of war and a little depression, where everyone is sad and everyone thinks that holidays are inappropriate, but in fact we need them some holidays to get into this rhythm of normal life, people need some kind of consolation, children need holidays and i i think that it is appropriate, now, that is, if there is a war and it is not appropriate to spend money on such things, there should be a holiday, it is better to spend this money on the army, but

to make some small gift for a child, i think it is worth it, for children it should be a holiday , our children are already limited in everything, we need to divert our attention to something positive from the negativity that is happening in our country at the moment. oleg chaban, doctor of medical sciences, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist is already on our screens, joining our broadcast. mr. oleg, our congratulations to you. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, i congratulate you, good evening, mr. olezh, we heard the opinions of ukrainians interviewed on the streets of kyiv about whether it is worth celebrating or not, and they are divided, well , mostly in half, one part of the people says that after the victory now is not the time, others say, no, it is necessary, from a psychological point of view, where is the truth, mr. olezh, is it worth it or not, as they say in those songs, in the middle, as always everything is in the middle, that you i apologize, before you ... start talking, you say in the middle, in fact, we had one the balance of opinions, now in the minds of people, yes

, it is completely divided, but, but, here, our journalist who did this survey, she says that people are still more inclined to celebrate, so tell me your thoughts, please , here is the word in the middle, i said in the sense that you can celebrate in different ways, you can celebrate magnificently, protect and forget in general what you are celebrating for and who you are grateful for, that you are allowed to celebrate today and have a peaceful life, appreciate the coffee, those lights on the christmas tree and so on, you can to forget about it and to break up altogether , whatever, this is not the middle, these are the extremes, it is necessary to celebrate, but i have a rhetorical question for you, you are optimists, so probably the dog of the situation that is happening, i am an optimist. i'm not interested, i'm an optimist, but i said it for a reason, if we weren't optimists, well

, we would have folded our hands a long time ago, we would have stopped living a long time ago and would have moved away from everything altogether, optimism, i.e. predicting, predicting the future with truthful, sincere, good, friendly, the one we strive for, predicts positive emotions, ugh, you can't be optimistic, say, we all believe in our victory, this is also an element of over-optimism, right, right, and the same. time to say: no, we should be sad, no moment of joy in our life, not even worth showing it, not even worth smiling, but we are optimists, have you ever seen a sad optimist in your life, such a pessimistic, depressed, oppressed by life optimist , i can combine something, well, not really, that's why i 'm saying, all the same, there should be some bright spots, specks in our lives, which should... to enlighten, encourage and bring some balance to a sad life, to a stressful life

, stress, well, you know, somehow, well, not somehow, but it turned out that we are tangential to social networks, and i recently got excited about such a discussion, or it is advisable to organize holidays during the war, and again opinions are divided, where people who already display their photos where they decorate the christmas tree, the family prepares to celebrate st. nicholas, christmas. and they write to them, and you remember that we have a war, well, these are the comments that i came across, and they different, how to respond to such criticism and yes, great. to react, i just then recommend, recommend to do a simple thing , now imagine in your head, imagine that you are sending your photo to the guys, well, to a specific person, your acquaintance, relative, child, father, to the war, who is at ground zero, specifically of your family, two options, you are with the child near the christmas tree and the child

is smiling, and you are in a dark room where everything is closed, because it is not possible, during the war , to smile and generally show light, which photo will you send? well, you will probably send the one why is he fighting for the sake of his family, for the sake of your smile, for the sake of his own homeland and all of us, that's why it's not necessary to say no, god forbid, if the money is spent on some
