friends, for those who are currently watching us on youtube, please like this video, subscribe to our page. on this platform and take part in our survey. today we ask you the following:

do you support multiple citizenship in ukraine? yes, no, vote on youtube, huh also, if you're watching us on tv, pick up your phone and dial simple numbers to vote. if you support multiple citizenship, call 0800-211-381, not 0800 211382. all calls to this number. are free, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. we have people's deputy of ukraine oleksiy goncharenko in touch. mr. oleksiy, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. i congratulate you. and i congratulate you on the day of the unity of ukraine. i also congratulate you on the day of the catholic church. so, on the day of conciliarness volodymyr zelenskyy announced that he is submitting to the verkhovna rada of ukraine a draft law on the introduction of multiple citizenship in ukraine. let's hear what. said zelensky. today, i am submitting to the verkhovna rada

of ukraine a key draft law that will allow the adoption of complex changes to legislation and the introduction of the institution of multiple citizenship and will allow all ethnic ukrainians and their descendants from different countries of the world to have our citizenship. of course, except for communities. mr. oleksiy, this is the second time zelenskyi has contributed for the last four years of the law on pluralism, plural citizenship, what do you say about it, that was the promise of president zelensky in 2019 that all ukrainians who are outside the borders of ukraine will be able to get passports if they have other passports. and now a novel has been added that apart from those who live in russia, well, first of all, i have not yet seen

the draft law, this is important, because we are talking about a specific legislative act, and of course i will be able to comment so fully when i get acquainted with the text of the draft law . well, what it is for ukraine the question is on the agenda, obviously, and today, probably, especially... when there are millions of ukrainians abroad, by the way, i can share breaking news with you, i was elected president of the committee literally just before being included in your broadcast. on migration of refugees and displaced persons of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, this is the first time that a ukrainian headed this committee, became the president of this committee, thank you very much, it also means that i entered the bureau of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, the governing body, and definitely for us this topic super-actual, unfortunately, today, because today millions of ukrainians are forced

migrants, or internally displaced persons, or refugees. by everyone abroad, and therefore, and, unfortunately, this is not the first time in the history of ukraine that this has happened, and during the last 100 years there have been several such waves, when ukrainians, unfortunately, were forced, part of our population to leave their native places, and today there are millions of ukrainians all over the world, and many of them have preserved their identity, love for ukraine, feel themselves ukrainian, i... that this is absolutely normal, to give these people the opportunity, or also to get ukrainian citizenship, and this is right, we have many children who left in the 22nd year, and perhaps some of them will already obtain the citizenship of other countries, those who have already two years live abroad, but it is very important for us to preserve them for ukraine as well, so this is also one of

the issues, but i repeat, i support the fact that the issue itself is very relevant, but i do not know what the president specifically prescribed in his draft law, as soon as his text will appear, i will definitely read it carefully and i will decide for myself, it is possible to prepare edits, and because this topic is really important. mr. oleksiyu, the adviser of the office of the president of ukraine , serhii leshchenko, stated in an interview with the swiss newspaper tages, an antziger that... europe should stop aid to ukrainian refugees and return them to ukraine, saying that everything should be done to make ukrainians feel felt comfortable in ukraine and worked here, not necessarily everyone went to the front, but europe should still encourage ukrainians to preserve the ukrainian state and, according to leshchenko,

europe should contribute to this, how do you feel about such an idea and... can this be perceived as the official position of the president's office, since leshchenko is an adviser to the president's office? well, to be honest, this , you know, i wanted mr. serhiy to say it to the eyes of, for example, a woman with children who escaped from mariuppol, and, for example, lives in germany today, for example, and i also really want all ukrainians were at home, but where should she return, let's... add that if today ukraine has compensation mechanisms for damaged or destroyed housing in the territory of ukraine controlled by ukraine, then we do not have a compensation and support mechanism in the uncontrolled territory, that is, for example, the city of mariupol, the city of bakhmut, the city of severodontsk,

lisichansk, well, other cities, well, well, i want, well , you know, this is some ... bullying, then these people, instead of thanking europe for helping these ukrainians of ours who are forced, yes, if we are talking about a man of draft age, healthy, who crossed the border illegally, who has an apartment in in the city of kyiv, odesa or lviv, which nobody, nothing destroyed, who is simply hiding , well, it is obvious that i, and i think, all ukrainians have a different attitude towards such a man, but... if we are talking about women, children, if we are talking about those whose, whose cities occupied, whose lives are broken, well, this is a very, well, i can't find the words, this is some very, well, wrong cynical position, maybe i want to believe, maybe someone misunderstood somewhere, but well, i think that the president's office should somehow react and somehow

make a comment about it, because i repeat, i am here now, today is the first... day of the january, winter session of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, i am always here to thank all my colleagues, first of all poland, germany, the czech republic, these are the countries like romania, which have a large number of ukrainian refugees, for the fact that they support them, i repeat once again, many of those people, these are people who have lost, well, if not everything, then a lot of things, and to say that let's take all their support away from them, well, this, this sounds crazy, and even from a pragmatic point of view. well, let's go let's imagine that today these people, i repeat once again, we are not talking about those who can fight and so on, but these people are poor, those who found shelter there behind... the don, well, today they say, well they heard lishchenko , and everyone is returning, and what are the opportunities in the ukrainian budget to pay them at least some kind of support, some kind of help, we already see attempts to limit

payments to internally displaced persons, which is absolutely wrong, so just let’s all, i understand you know, we all live in terrible conditions, rockets fall on our heads, shaheds, this is all true, but there are people who have suffered more than others, first of all, these are those who have lost relatives and loved ones. and the second is you who lost your own cities and homes, and, unfortunately, there are millions of such people in ukraine, imagine these numbers, so this is some crazy statement, i want the president's office to refute it there, to comment accordingly , well, if this is the official position of the president's office, then i don't even know what can be said here, well, it's just crazy, it's wrong from the point of view of morality, ethics, and it's wrong from the point of view budget, prospects of ukraine, strategy. and the attitude towards these ukrainians, well, it’s not possible, man today, i’m sorry for taking so long to answer, but this is a super important topic, today there is a struggle for people all over the world, and we have to fight for those ukrainians,

i know that there are people , which are wavering there, yes , someone went abroad, and we are sitting inside ukraine, rockets are falling on our heads, and this is also a certain dividing line between ukrainians, unfortunately, but today is the day of the unity of ukraine, i want to remind you, let's not pay attention on these things, because on... our task is to be united, our task is to maintain contact with those who are abroad in order to return as many of them as possible, not all of them will return, but as many of them as possible to return to ukraine sooner or later, because we need them, because this is their land, and it is together that we must rebuild ukraine, who will rebuild ukraine, if not ukrainians, that is why this is a very wild and strange statement, and i am not gullible, well, you are right in saying that... for that , to bring people back, you don't need to take from them what they have in europe, and conditions need to be created in ukraine so that it would be easier for these people to return,

so that they would have a place to return to, because indeed many people lost their homes in the east, in the south and not only in other cities of ukraine where russian missiles hit. today, zelensky instructed the authorities to develop an action plan to preserve the national identity of ukrainians in russia. who live on the lands historically inhabited by them in the territory of the current krasnodar krai, belgorod, bryansk, voronetsk, kursk, rostov regions in russia, it was immediately perceived as an encroachment on russian territory. medvedev came out, said that ukrainians are the same russians, and here, in principle, it is necessary to put an end to ukraine, because ukraine is russia in general, and this rhetoric, which he is posting... during the last period , has been sufficiently actively torpedoing that and what can ukraine do now for ukrainians living in russia and vice versa , what ukrainians living in russia can

do for ukraine, because we know that there is the largest diaspora there, more than 1 million ukrainians, and a completely logical question arises if they they sit there and are silent and do not show themselves in any way regarding the war in ukraine, the question is that... what kind of historical justice or justice in relation to the lands historically inhabited by them can we place here in ukraine? look, i actually support this decree of zelenskyi, in 2019 i created an inter-factional union of the kuban in the ukrainian parliament, and when it comes to the krasnodar region, it is precisely the kuban, you can even see the screenshot that is shown on kubani, there it is emphasized that this first one goes to kubani. and indeed ah, there in kuban 100 years ago, 60% of the population were ukrainian-speaking, and after the collapse of the russian empire, kuban wanted to join

the ukrainian people's republic, these are all historically confirmed, recorded facts, and when i created it in the 19th year, colleagues from the servant of the people, some laughed at this topic and said that it was such a kubain de. this is all not serious, you see, the 24th year is coming, president zelenskyi issues a decree that it is necessary to remember the ukrainians in the kuban, and that, about the history of the kuban, i i think that this is correct, firstly, this corresponds to the history of history, and indeed historically these lands were inhabited by ukrainians, secondly, people with ukrainian identity remain there even today, yes, of course, what can you imagine during a full-scale war, how are we there... working with these people, reaching out to them with difficulty, but in any case, this is still such a task that ukraine will face in the future, i have absolutely, absolutely no doubt about it, so i...

believe , that this is the right decree, i believe that we have to remind the world what the territories actually are, when they keep talking about the fact that russian cities, odesa, there are others, we need to remind them that today they have ukrainian lands as part of their territory, and this is absolutely normal and rightly so, i support here and think, this is the right step. today, as you already said, the winter session of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe began in strasbourg. on thursday , a debate is planned there under the urgent procedure on the situation of children of ukraine. your colleague, victoria syumar, was not allowed to enter for some reason pare meeting, she did not arrive, although she had an official invitation from the council of europe. how does this separation happen in general, who gets there at the pari meeting, who does not

get there? how, how did you get there? well, i am a member of the delegation of ukraine, and i got there together with the whole delegation, but really, that’s right, they also regularly try not to let me out there, and in recent weeks there has been a whole epic with an attempt to throw me out of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, from the ukrainian delegation , it was a whole effort by the authorities to do, they didn't succeed, and in the end, in seven minutes, so you understand, ukraine submitted its... delegation 7 minutes before the deadline, i.e. until the moment when it was no longer possible to send it at all, i.e. so until the last moment they hoped to come up with something to somehow lose , well, it was primarily about me, and as for victoria syumar, absolutely, unfortunately, this is another time, like maria ivonova, ivana klimpuson sadze, iryna gerashchenko, petro poroshenko, volodymyr ariev, other colleagues, who are absolutely illegal speakers. parliament

stefanchuk did not allow it, did not sign these orders for our business trips, for mine personally, for theirs, here is the latest case with victoria shchumor, it is absolutely outrageous, and victoria shchumor had to go, there was a separate anti-corruption program here, as a representative of the anti-corruption committee, and well , if you understand, everyone can see everything right there, and at this same event there will be questions, how did it happen that for some reason the ukrainian deputy did not arrive, that she does not want to, or that she cannot? and it is already causing, in the parliamentary assembly the council of europe is already preparing a separate report on the free access of parliamentarians to their work , using the example of ukraine, unfortunately, that is, what is being done today by the leadership of the verkhovna rada, i think that with the approval and on the instructions of the president's office, has already become a topic of discussion in europe , everyone sees this, and it gives ukraine absolutely nothing, today is the day of unity, but what, well, what signals does

the ukrainian government send? when those were released, those were not released, you can, you can't, they are constantly dividing us, dividing, dividing, it's very bad, it is bad from all points of view, because it is pressure on the opposition, because it is a division of ukrainian society, because it is a weakening of ukrainian parliamentary diplomacy abroad, well, if they threw me out of the delegation, ukraine would lose today, me, that is, today i was formally elected already, if it happened, but the decision was made there more than a week ago. and if they had achieved their goal and were able to remove me from the delegation, then ukraine would lose the position of the president of the committee on migration issues, would lose the position of a member of the bureau of pari, well, tell me that this would give ukraine at least something, well , the answer is obvious, and by the way, i will immediately say to those who can say, well, maybe in this way they want to save budget funds there, neither i, nor viktoria since february 24, 2022, neither syuma nor my other colleagues have taken

any foreign money. not a single penny, not a single penny, it is usually financed, in pairs , it is all financed in pairs, if other business trips, then those countries that accept, that is, we do not take a single budgetary penny for this, but at the same time we use these sites for the promotion of ukrainian interests as much as possible, therefore this is a very wrong decision, these are very wrong actions, another evidence that ruslan stefanchuk, he is, you know, a top man, the head of the supreme council of the ukrainian soviet socialism... well, this is valentina shevchenko, i understood, thank you, mr. oleksiy, for the conversation, it was oleksiy goncharenko, people's deputy of ukraine from strasbourg, friends, we are working live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are currently watching us on these platforms , please like this video so that it can be trended on youtube and facebook, and take part in our survey, we are asking you

about this today. do you support multiple citizenship?
