but in the united states, if there is donald trump in the next 4 years , then it does not bring anything good, it is just an understanding, and if there is joe biden in the next 4 years, then this means that the policy of the united states in relation to ukraine will be quite predictable, they will just search for how to find this help, and joe biden can be told that he is old, that he...

he will wait until the us presidential election, and he is counting on donald trump winning, and how do you you think, and will it be? is russia actively interfering in the election process now, as it was in 2016, just when donald trump won? you know, this is a big problem, because the washington post just published a big article about how russia is interfering now.

elections in the political process in france and there are troll factories, they support july, they support the national front, all this movement, they continue to do it, because it works, you know, when donald trump was even once elected president, this tells this team of trolls in the kremlin that it works, especially considering what we will get with artificial intelligence. when it is already unclear who will say something, if it is artificial intelligence, if it is the real putin or frozen putin or putin's double, we will all have to ask questions , ask questions, and this is correct, i liked the opinion of a specialist who said, if you how to distinguish artificial intelligence from a real person, he says, if you just incredibly angry, then most likely it's just artificial intelligence...

there is hope that people will become smarter and we will continue this struggle, but somehow gradually with age, we no longer catch some things that we used to catch in the sixteenth year, well, there will be new things on which... can it be stated that it has decreased to a minimum in the united states, both in the mass media and in politics, or not, we literally have a minute, i... i think that the russian

lobby, of course, will support and will launch different and pso and will be discussed, so to speak, perhaps, look at putin's desire to go to some kind of negotiations, but at least there is no trust in it, there is an expectation that putin will lie and lie, so the support for ukraine is simply continued , there is great hope that the politicians will gather before that , how they will leave with their heads in their politics. season will be able to help ukraine in the next month, and it will be possible to discuss some other issues, for example, how to bring russia to the negotiating table to end this criminal war, which in fact, in general, it would end well , it is just necessary for ukraine to be in the strongest position at the negotiating table, which is what the biden administration wants to do. mr. yuriy, thank you for these detailed explanations, yuriy rashkin, deputy of the rokstat district. wisconsin, host of youtube channel,

rashkin report. just got in touch with us. well, now you will see photos and videos. this is kharkiv, just now. as a result of the night attack of russian... drones on kharkiv , buildings in the city center were damaged, these are not military facilities, these are cafes, residential houses and offices, he writes about this, i quote the head of kharkiv igor terekhov, he says that on the eve of the new year, the russians want to intimidate the city, but he writes that we are not afraid, we are not victorious and not broken, i once again emphasize the military objects you see in these photos and you will not see the video, you will see civilian objects of various nature. next, let's talk about athletes who promote war, they should not have the right to participate in the olympic games. the most titled ukrainian athletes emphasized this in an open letter to the president of france manuel macron. mayor of paris anna dalgo,

minister of sports of france amelia udea casteri and the organizers of the 2024 olympic games, which are to be held in the french capital. they called for the removal of the representatives altogether. aggressor countries from participating in the olympics. details in an exclusive interview with bohdan mashai, head of the ministry of youth and sports of ukraine, matvyi bidny. i congratulate you, friends, about sports in ukraine and about ukraine in world sports. today i will talk to poor matvii, acting minister youth and sports of ukraine. matvii, i congratulate you. good day. we live in a time when there is not as much good news as we would like. but sport is exactly the source from which we draw this good news. good news. for the whole country, because the victories of our athletes are the pride of the entire state, and we would like to start with a good one: 2023 is coming to an end, what good, in your opinion, was the most significant thing in our sport? well , of course, it was for the victories of our

athletes at such competitions as the third european games, where our national team triumphed, took the first and third overall team places, won 41 medals, 21 of them gold. also, the world martial arts games were extremely successful, where our team took the first indoor team place overall and won, won, well, despite, despite everything that is happening today, showing our strength, our strength of our country, our fighters, and well, in general, i.e. the results, and each time, each time, this result was accompanied by a very powerful such media publicity... to the whole world, our athletes attracted the attention of the whole world, we had the attention of the media and people, fans from all over the world, who were interested in how ukraine, which today is in a state of war, which today suffers from

a full-scale invasion, is still able to train its athletes , there are athletes who simply... took a vacation from the battlefield, went to the training camp and participated in competitions and won there, so, well, we have something to be proud of for the past year, and i hope that we let's develop this trend, one of those too good news was the decision of the international olympic committee to admit russians and belarus in a neutral status to the olympics, which are to be held in paris in 2024, some of our allies of their federations announced that they are thinking about the option of a boycott, but in general it does not look like , that something threatens this olympics in connection with this decision: sports facilities are being built in paris, hotels are being sold out, broadcast rights are being sold out, and so on. you were in paris, as far as i know, when this decision was announced, what was going on there before this decision was made and after what was the reaction? i had several meetings,

there on the eve of my meeting, on the eve of the day when this shameful decision was made, i had a meeting with the mayor of the city of lille. we inspected the bases where ukrainian athletes train today, the french government allocated 1 million euros so that our athletes could train there before the olympics , train there, live there, and we inspected these facilities, then we had a meeting with the mayor, and during the conversation, everyone, starting from the sports facility where... the mayor was also there, she also expressed her support for our thesis that representatives of terrorist countries in any capacity should not be allowed to the olympics today, that it contradicts any olympic values, that it contradicts

common sense, the principles of justice , etc., and that is, here we have 100% one hundred percent support, in fact, when in fact i was almost on my way... i was driving in a car to a meeting with the minister of sports of france and was preparing for of this meeting, such news arrived, and indeed. although we planned, at least i planned to devote to this topic, well, some minimal part of the time, because in fact the day before thomas bach, the president of the international olympic committee, he stated that the decision on admission would be made in march, well, that is, there was no such urgency need to discuss it, especially with the minister, yes, but well, we had several topics that we wanted to discuss, but the facts... after that decision, the one that shocked virtually everyone in the sports community, well, the whole

the conversation was actually focused around this topic, it was clear that they too are at the beginning, they do not know how to react, they did not know, it was clearly visible that they did not know how to react to such a decision of the international olympic committee, if so many countries , who support us, so many people you've talked to are against this decision, so what do you think was the overriding reason why the russians were able to somehow ... influence other members of the olympic committee to make this decision? there are two factors here, well first of all, the international olympic committee is such a fairly conservative organization, and for more than 120 years, and they, well, it is based on such somewhat populist principles today as the autonomy of sport, that sport is outside of politics, they talk very strongly about the fact that in... well, governments of any countries, and political authorities, bodies of political authority cannot influence the decisions of the sports community and the international

olympic committee as a public movement, but we see that this is not the case at all, that decisions, such decisions also have a political color, and here the second factor comes into force, that the russians have been working in the field of sports diplomacy for many, many decades, well, in fact, in every major sports... federation today there are representatives of russia, as well as in the international olympic committee , as well as in large sports federations, which are actual actors, actors in the international olympic race, and we see that precisely in those federations, where there were representatives of russians in the highest positions, that is exactly where this began with the rolling back, the admission of the russians to the competition, and in some places even the criteria that mok puts forward as a criterion... of neutrality, so-called, are sometimes ignored, in fact, by such federations there as,

for example, the judo federation, which is still in contrary to the recommendations of the international olympic committee, and there they still admit athletes who have contracts with the power structures, with the sports club of the army of the russian federation, they have been doing this work for a long time, we understand that they have a lot of resources in order to to lobby for certain decisions, and even the fact in which way... such a decision was made in a hurry, yes, in fact, contrary to the very statement of the president of the international olympic committee, who, i repeat, said that it would be made in march, yes , and in fact, a week later under the influence, we can only imagine what factors, what, what incentives, yes, such a shameful decision was made hastily, quietly, secretly, which was not accepted in principle by all sports. and in connection with this, this topic from boycott, is it possible, for example, that such teams as the united states will not go to

the olympics? no, no, we, well, you say that there is support and it is possible that someone, no country has expressed that it is ready to boycott the olympic games, so we are supported, so for the decision of the international olympic committee, it upsets many, as in at the level of personalities and at the level of organizations, i am not talking about the level of political power, and there were many. joint statements, there were many statements and positions, yes, you know, there was also position 35 sports ministers of european countries, well , not only there are international and countries of the world, but there was no mention of a boycott, and that's why , again, we don't say the word boycott today either, we say that our position is , which we cannot tolerate, and we appeal to these organizations. that it is a distortion of olympic values. regarding

the ukrainian olympians, at what stage is the process of deciding whether they will go to the olympics, and what factors do you consider to be decisive in this matter? our olympic athletes continue to prepare, they continue to train, they continue to obtain licenses, to do everything in order to go and represent our country at the proper level, to tell the whole world our story, the story of theirs again... the kind of preparation that sometimes causes simply , well, admiration, yes, when our wrestler iryna kolyadenko, a prize-winner of the olympic games, yes, when, who... in fact, at the beginning of the stoyanka invasion, instead of training, she sat in the basement for two weeks, and it was, well, speech was just about survival is elementary, yes, we have sportsmen who today fight in the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine, for the period of the training sessions there, they take a vacation, come, prepare, perform,

win, go, take up weapons, go to defend our country . well, it is very important to show, an open letter from our athletes began to spread, which lists specific cases about specific athletes who have already been selected as neutral athletes within the framework of their international federations, in the letter simply those facts are indicated when they support, someone collects money for the russian army, someone calls to join the ranks, as if it is a special military operation, and someone... somewhere with this zvastika takes part in propaganda events, so we show all this, we give the international olympic committee to see that even their own criteria that they have developed, they are not being met in this case, they are being ignored, and we will continue this fight as long as we can, well for the athletes it can be a tragedy, in fact, because they are all their lives are training

in order to participate in competitions of this level, for many it is the goal of the whole career and the whole life at the level of the individual. but we understand that the state level in these times is a higher priority, if ukraine refuses to go to the olympic games, in the end, what will be the consequences for us, in particular for our sport, the tragedy is all that is happening today in our country, yes, although we are dealing with a feat that our people, our military are doing, our nation is doing today, but all that what is happening, people die, and... each of the athletes also has cases, someone died, someone had their home destroyed, someone was in the occupation, someone is fighting today, and he is all the time, instead of concentrating on training , he, he thinks about what is happening today with his loved one, relative, ah, who today fights and defends the country with weapons in his hands, so for each of

us today this is an unconditional priority, our main and great victory, and all that is done is ours... as well as ours athletes, yes, yes, and well, everyone , it is primarily aimed at bringing our great victory closer, we understand, well, the price of everyone, every one of our manifestations in the international, on the international arena, and well, today the question really arises, yes, and whether we we have to go, and what is more important, really show ukraine to the world , tell the history of our country, the opportunity to make a statement about... us, because even on the experience of the games that took place this year, which i already mentioned, the world games that took place in 2000 in the 22nd year, we see that ukrainians they are met everywhere as heroes , ukrainians are seen and listened to everywhere, yes, and we really have such a unique opportunity, i think, on the other hand, if we

see that the international olympic committee ignores these principles. we believe that these are, in principle, the principles of common sense, what are they, and the very principles of the international olympic movement, if they will really tolerate the participation of athletes who support russian aggression, well, i think that even none of the athletes will agree to enter the same arena with such people, am i right i understand that, as of now , the position of the ministry is that if russia and... go, well, although they will not go from them, but we understand that russian propaganda will also tell, it is ours over there, they are being oppressed here, nor there is no uniform, well, there is no court, our flag is there, and so on, if there are really athletes at the olympics who did not support all this victory frenzy in the russian federation, did not support the russian army and putin, then ukraine will go to the olympics. we

are looking at both of these options, again, we do not understand, we are still at the point where we could would consider accepting. such decisions, we have not yet done all that we can do and what we should do, and we too, our position is that we have to continue this struggle, to say today this is how we will go, or this is how we will not go - this is the most such a simple decision , but it will be wrong in any case, because today we have to do everything to wage this struggle, to free the media platform there for someone, yes, we will always have time again, yes, what should we give up, we can always make it too. but today we have to do everything so that the russians are not there, yes, or, well, conditionally speaking, so that the conditions on which they will be allowed there, that they are actually for themselves, well, should be such. so that they themselves regret that they went there, is there any deadline for this decision, yes, we do not have such deadlines, i think that we will make this decision when it is convenient for us, when we see what exactly

this is our state interest, before becoming the acting minister of youth and sports, you were engaged in mass sports in the ministry, what kind of direction is it, mass sports, what were your responsibilities and what in this direction... what issues are overseen, well, mass sports, in my own opinion, is generally the primary task of the ministry of health of the nation, yes, the involvement of our people , ukrainians, in a healthy lifestyle, well, this is a very important direction, and well, in any country, the authorities take care of exactly this, because it is very important for us that our citizens are healthy, healthy, active , capable, we need strong healthy citizens in order to... fight today, rebuild our country tomorrow after our victory. a few years ago, we launched the program of the president of ukraine active parks of the location of healthy ukraine, within the framework of which

already this year, even during the war, we attracted almost one and a half million of our citizens to our events, including 22 thousand war veterans, that is, here in our country how about the widest, the widest field for the application of those methods, those approaches that... today and in europe are professed, in order to, well indeed, our people were involved in a healthy lifestyle, so that they practiced sports, so that, in fact, sports are the best tool for improving mental health today, so this is a very important element of such public health, that is, within the framework of our program, these active parks, we are launching new projects today, this year we launched 18, we launched 18 running clubs, that's... because there running and nordic walking are the most affordable, uh, affordable means for healthy and muscular activity, that's we actually have 18 runners

clubs in the regions of ukraine worked, we come from holding just such events, we conduct, come to such regular training work, that is, in every community today we actually have a coordinator of our program, to whom the residents of the community can come and get advice from vision, how they can start their training there, their health and physical activity , he conducts such classes with them, yes, he gives them advice, on weekends he collects, conducts such small, perhaps events, games, attracts local sports clubs to him, well i.e. this such an element of attracting people, attracting ukrainians, and we are very happy that we are succeeding in everything, we see an increase in the level of people's curiosity, even during the war, and maybe because of the war, because people feel that after all. .. it is necessary to be distracted by something, and we see that it has and gives, gives its result. regarding youth policy, the ministry of youth and sports, your name is, what are the issues in this block and how

do you see the development of this policy of ukraine? well, youth policy in our country is aimed at giving to young people the opportunity to realize oneself, yes, that is why it is based on... usually in peacetime, yes, these are such educational programs, small business support programs, the formation of such a community, again, where young people can communicate and make new connections , new skills , knowledge, during the war, in fact, a large part of the work was concentrated around volunteer work, and today several programs that we have are co-operation programs, which we run jointly with the support of our international partners, an all-ukrainian volunteer platform that it is carried out by us with the support of the president's office and also other institutions, it

is aimed at ensuring that young people have the opportunity to feel useful today and contribute to our common cause, the cause of our struggle. unfortunately, there are athletes, including professional ones, who do not go to ukrainian gyms. and not with weapons in their hands , who received permission to leave the ministry , left and did not return from abroad, is also a separate painful topic, i think, for minolodi and sports, and for ordinary ukrainians who observe the emergence of such news, i actually have a lot of questions here, but i will try to ask the main ones, in my opinion, how does the system of these permits work, how does the ministry decide who can go abroad, who should not go, how many ukrainian athletes today in general have used ... with this permission and did not return in the order in which you want to answer, well, at the very beginning of the war there was a question for us, and

how... we should support sports, the system of training our athletes in war conditions, yes, well, since it was decided that sports still need to be preserved, that our athletes must train and go to competitions, the question arose, in fact, how to make it real, a resolution of the cabinet of ministers was adopted, which also regulates the procedure for going abroad, and will go abroad today to participate in international sports competitions, in professional fact. sports club, well, but of course, our athletes are also people, and with their weaknesses, their fears, and well, sometimes, unfortunately, it's very much like that in my opinion, it's a small minority of them, well, it really shows such a not very good quality, as betraying one's comrades, in fact, going to the competition under

the obligation of the federation, well, in fact... escaping mm, at the level of e, well, if you compare, yes, then i think that people, who in these almost two years went to the competition, these are tens of thousands of people, actually went to the competition, to the meetings, returned, some of them are serving again, yes, some of them were serving even before they left, yes, took a vacation, went, competed, then continued his service, ah,... about 300 athletes or the coaches have not returned, they have already been excluded , the vast majority of them, they have been excluded from the national national teams, well , we, we, we understand everything, they are also people, but their act, i think that unworthy of a member of the national national team of ukraine, i thank you very much for your time, today matvyi bidny, acting minister of youth and

sports of ukraine was... the guest of this conversation, i hope it was interesting for you, and if you want to see a little more of such interesting conversations today, subscribe to the youtube channel we are ukraine, we all have a lot. chevrons approaching victory. although we are not always close to our relatives, what we do gives our children the opportunity to be safe and immerse themselves in the fairy tale of the winter holidays. we protect our country and restore its transportation infrastructure so that we can all give our children the greatest gift, our victory. merry christmas and happy new year 2024. greetings, friend, i am marichka
