the full-scale war. in march, all ours pensioners receive increased payments, pensions will increase by 8%. we will continue to help those who need it most. needs, we will continue to rebuild our country. russian opposition politician oleksiy navalny was buried today in moscow at the borysiv cemetery. say goodbye. and hundreds of people came with him. they walked from the church to the cemetery itself, but the law enforcement officers did not let them directly into the territory of the cemetery. among those who came to say goodbye were the envoys of the usa, germany and france. let me remind you that navalny died at the age of 47 years in the arctic correctional colony arctic wolf. it happened on february 16. supporters of the opposition believe that he was killed on purpose. however, the kremlin will deny any involvement of the state in the death. policy.

by the way, at the request of the kremlin, whether representatives of the kremlin will be at the funeral , putin's spokesman, dmitry peskov, said that the kremlin has nothing to say, dear navalny, but indeed, a person died in prison, you imprisoned him, it is not known with whom. well, there's nothing to tell you, in any case, uh, this man fought against putin, if that gives any a push in the long term, then it will be a big plus, but the russian regime, as they say, does not become weaker because of this. ecological and smart exercise bikes: the taiwanese company acer, together with the local ministry of digital transformation, donated such devices to the lviv children's hospital and two educational institutions. of higher education, our correspondents protested, as they did not protest, but did a test, how

a smart exercise bike works, watch with us, positively, not only you will become sporty, elevated, but so that our students in ukraine had such wonderful opportunities. playing sports is not the only function of this exercise bike. the device charges electronic gadgets when the user spins it. this is the development of the taiwanese electronics company acer, as the manufacturer's representatives assure, such simulators make people's lives active, safe and ecological. thanks to this current, the battery accumulates energy and releases it to the usb or type-c ports, thanks to which mobile devices or a laptop will be charged. also, these devices are implemented in height, there is a table, that is, there are working modes modes, look, we can... do, we can lift up, for example, that is, each person can do it according to his height,

under his weight, you can use different modes. the team was prompted by the sad events in ukraine, when thousands of people were left without electricity due to russian missile attacks on the ukrainian energy infrastructure, so the developers decided to create an exercise bike that not only benefits from playing sports, but also helps in the event of a blackout. the first place we wanted to send these exercise bikes to was ukraine, because today ukraine uses backup power, and these exercise bikes are energy-independent and generate electricity themselves. yes, for six months we worked on this idea together with the democratic forum and the taiwanese company acer, which produces high-quality modern electronics, and it happened , i think it's a great invention, especially for ukrainian youth. taiwanese partners. donated 12 such exercise bikes to: lviv children's hospital of st. nicholas and

two universities. this became possible thanks to the cooperation of taiwanese government officials with by the public organization all-ukrainian democratic forum. the taiwanese and i have implemented many projects. these are projects to help school students in lviv, poltava, and many other regions. now we are working on new projects, on the training of computer science teachers, on the supply of new computers. this separate project is interesting in that... we have delivered to some lviv higher education institutions and hospitals not just exercise bikes, but modern gadgets that allow you to maintain health, because it is an exercise bike, charge your computer, your phones, use it and work at it like a desk. the director of st. nicholas children's hospital is sincerely grateful for such gifts, because the institution tries to create such conditions where small patients would feel as comfortable as possible and have fun spending their free time. in the hospital, we try to create a space that is as close as possible to home conditions, so that the children do not

feel that they are in the hospital, that they are sick, that they have to receive drips, injections, but in addition, they have to lead a normal life, study at school, which we have, to have physical exertion, five more smart simulators were handed over to the ukrainian catholic university, the students willingly tested the devices and say that they already have ideas on how to use them for a charitable purpose. we have an initiative to create batteries for the military, and we will place such batteries next to each other and charge them simultaneously in parallel. because they need to be recharged in some way, and this is a good way for students to have a good time and do useful things, which is in line with our values ​​of our university. for students of the lviv polytechnic, sport is almost the main component of life, because many of them successfully perform at international and all-ukrainian sports competitions.

the teachers and employees of the university will not give up physical activity on the exercise machines in order to warm up and recharge at the same time. electronic devices, it is a very cool possibility that there will be some exercise bikes in the buildings of the forest polytechnic, that they can come to work out in pairs and at least minimally train their bodies. our film crew as well decided to join the experiment and test how this smart exercise machine works. so, we take the cable, connect it to the simulator, we see that we have no charge, we start further. and now the charge is gone, we see the speed. power , which can be adjusted according to your strength, and while we spin away, our phone is charging, well, we continue, now i will briefly remind the assembly, and you will briefly support, espresso calls to join the assembly on the buggy for the evacuation of the wounded and a lift combat

kits, as well as for automobile and a trench soldier for the 12th separate special forces unit, well, to... shoot down enemy drones on course, not only drones, or intercept them in general. our defenders destroy the enemy in the eastern direction every day, this collection will help save human lives, first of all , it will increase the effectiveness of the unit, so join us, every donation strengthens the shield with which we deter the aggressor, our goal is uah 480,00, i just found out, already more you have collected 80 thousand, well, that is good dynamics, let's move with such dynamics, i think that for in a short time we will be able to send this important gift to our soldiers... well, now we will talk about an important thing, about the work of the government, business in conditions of possible pressure and non-transparency, how to deal with it, radislav tkachenko, lawyer vb partners , we are in touch, mr. radislav, i congratulate you, good evening, i am glad to see and hear and hear,

so recently the european business association joined the convening of the parliamentary special commission on the protection of investors' rights, which is very important. perhaps, what is the current situation with the rights of investors in ukraine, how they react to what is happening, it means opportunities and pressure, so what more now? i would like to start with the fact that, in principle, the support of investors and the development of business in ukraine is an extremely important issue, because it is not just a matter of our future development, but in principle it is a matter of our survival in modern conditions, because we... .we need to support the national economy, we need to support the armed forces so that they repel the aggressor, but also we we need to think about how to restore what was destroyed by this aggressor, i.e. we need investments in order for our country to develop in the future, but in connection with the war, this factor

cannot be dismissed, the investment climate is currently in dire straits because business... has to constantly face the risks of what war brings, the destruction, the chaos that war brings, but unfortunately it's not, it's not the only problem that have to face today our investors, our our business, in addition to the external enemy, they also have to face risks related to the internal, in connection with the fact that the business constantly faces pressure from the outside. law enforcement officers, unfortunately, i have to state that ukraine is gradually turning into such a police state, and law enforcement officers only use their powers to put pressure on business and, accordingly, on investors. the bureau of economic security, the state bureau of investigation, the national police, the security service of ukraine, all of them start trumped-up criminal proceedings, on this

with fabricated criminal proceedings , suspicions are presented to people, searches are carried out, property is seized, and thus they are blocked. business activity as a whole , businessmen are sent to custody, and all this usually has a negative effect on the investment climate, on the feeling of security of the investor, his investments and himself directly, for example, we don’t even have to go far for examples, we have all seen the reaction of society, business communities, to the arrest of investment banker ihor mozep by the state bureau of investigation, he repeatedly emphasized because ukraine has a problem with arbitrariness. on the part of the law enforcement officers, and that as a result, he was detained, criminal proceedings against him are ongoing, and it is obvious to everyone that this is just a story of persecution, or, for example, as with the case and pressure on ferexpo, in particular on the manager of the poltava gzk viktor lotous , who

was detained on factually unfounded charges, and the law enforcement officers demanded from the judges to choose a preventive measure for him in the form of a bail of hundreds of millions of hryvnias, and to pay such bail, people simply have to work, well , they would have to work for hundreds, if not thousands of years, just for... such a bail, it means that such a preventive measure, it will simply have no alternative, the person will be deprived of freedom, will be in sizo. as a result, judges cannot adequately resist this pressure from the law enforcement officers, and in cases where they try to counteract such arbitrariness, surprise-surprise, the state bureau of investigation already comes to these judges with searches, as was the case recently, for example, in examples of by the dnipro district court of the city of kyiv, when... the judge made a decision that did not satisfy the prosecutor of the prosecutor general's office, and the very next day they visited her with a search, so it is obvious that when law enforcement officers turn from law enforcement officers into law enforcement officers,

no businessman will be confident in the fact that his investments are safe, well, by the way , only the security forces act like that, well, by the way , the big seven had a question about the bureau of economic security, but this is not our topic now, the office of the general prosecutor informed that it includes , it turns out, the investment protection department, which has been dealing with violations by law enforcement agencies against investors since the 20th year. please let me know if this body really fulfills the duties assigned to it, well, at least in relation to the cases that you deal with in your experience. you know, it is very good that such a body has existed for four years, but during these four years i must state that the situation has improved. investments, the protection of investors' rights has only worsened for these four years, and although the office of the attorney general says that this office is working on standards for the work of prosecutors with businesses,

but they have already been working on these standards for four years, and there are still no such standards, and they are in fact admitting that they do not have any model of how to work with business, that is, to observe the rights of the rights. entrepreneurs, and one gets the impression that this administration is just some additional administration of statistics, where they simply record the number and reasons for searches, about what happens to this information, how they can actually affect the violation of businessmen's rights is unclear, so i really wanted to see some real actions that would help investors protect their investments in their businesses, and what about yours? opinion must be changed in ukraine, in legislation , in the implementation of certain decisions, in order to attract investments, investors are not afraid to invest in ukraine, not only large investors, who,

let's say, are a priori untouchable, yes, but also ukrainian investors, who may attract foreign funds from certain funds there, but work here i wouldn't say that with the situation that we have, that we have untouchable investors, because really the threat of this sort of notional police state, it's... affects everyone, and so it's extremely important for us to continue to assert that rule of law in our the state, and unfortunately, we no longer just need to approve it, we need to fight for it, and really, who can prevent arbitrariness on the part of law enforcement officers, it is independent courts, justice must restrain investigators and prosecutors within the limits of the law, that is the only way to effectively counter, in my opinion, abuse, abuse of authority from theirs. side, and this is the only way we can return, return the trust of foreign and domestic investors so that they invest in the development of ukraine, which will continue to help us now, and will continue to help and

rebuild, because currently the office of the president itself recognizes that the investment interest in ukraine, it is simply zero, which , for example, was recently stated by the deputy head of the president's office, this tells us one thing, that in order to recover, in order to survive in today 's conditions, we need to change our attitude towards law enforcement agencies, we can't keep silent about violations on their part, because they will perceive it as tacit consent, we need to talk about it, we need to complain on this, we need to bring this to the public's attention so that they have no other option but to act only within the limits of the law as required. our legislation, and so they will be able to be transparent, and i am sure that this is the way we can ensure that investors, both domestic, ours, and

foreign, thanks to this. have been able to believe that their investments in ukraine will be protected in the future, and they will trust ukraine with their funds so that we continue to develop as a free and democratic state. thank you very much for participating , thank you for your comments, radislav tkachenko, a lawyer at vb partners, was in touch with us, we talked about the realities of business in ukraine, now we will talk about the situation outside of ukraine with reference to ukraine. world about ukraine, yuriy fizar is with me, yuriy, good evening, please, good evening. to you, vasyl, good evening to everyone who joined us today, this will be strange, and for russia, perhaps even alarming news continues to come from transcaucasia, in particular from armenia, which olaf scholz is afraid of, he said so himself, well and navalny was finally buried. about this and other things in a moment in the rubric world about ukraine. well, i'll start with transcaucasia, serious news comes

from there from... in particular, from armenia, armenia is forcibly forced to join the union the state created by russia and belarus. speaker of the parliament of ukraine alen simonyan told journalists about this during a briefing. according to him, yerevan did not receive an official invitation, but in 2021 the russian government did everything to ensure that the armenian people elected a government that would make armenia a part of the union. states, and then a quote from mr. speaker alen simonyan: in 2021 , the armenian people defeated a great geopolitical plan, the task of which was to bring us into this union state, well , i guess the kremlin is starting to tremble, oh no strongly, but doze off the fact that, well, if they previously believed that armenia in the transcaucasia

was their country and everything would be fine, now the relations between both countries, i mean armenia and russia, are not as rosy as this is what we would like in moscow, by the way , let me remind you that the day before, the same speaker of the parliament in armenia, alen simonyan , said that his country wants to establish relations with the european union and even bring cooperation to a higher level, which in the future could would lead to the fact that armenia would join the european union union, he added that there was no need to rush, but anyway, first of all, talk about the fact that armenia wants to join the european union , today about the fact that armenia was forced by russia to join the union state, well, this is serious, i think i will follow the development of this situation. now to another country from the post-soviet space: russia is making every effort to prevent moldova from joining

the european union, and for this moscow is constantly trying to keep chisinau in the gray zone. about it on the air of the tv channel zhurnal president of the country maya sandu told tv. according to her, moldova has already lost such a chance in the past, that is, to join the eu, when it could have joined it together with romania and the balkan countries, and according to her, now russia is just trying to drag this process on and on , the president's quote: we are not against the russians, we have nothing against them, we want russia to respect moldova, respect its citizens, respect the choices of our citizens, we are a democratic country, people choose here, so democracy still needs to be changed, but people decide what to do and where to go, with whom to cooperate, i'm sorry, but it seems to me, on my own conviction

, some such naive moldovan... childlike naivety, we are not against the russians, we are not against russia, we just want russia not to interfere in the internal affairs of moldova, and putin to sneer at the citizens of moldova and at some internal affairs of moldova, if he is planning to do something, what could be the internal affairs of moldova, if he believes that moldova does not exist, it is russian territory, he also believes that we do not have exists, well, it's just that we fight back, thank god, and that's why we are like that phrases, we are not against russians, we are not against russian. people, i'm sorry, there are no good russians, and today's events in moscow, for example, showed this, they came to navalny's funeral, asked for forgiveness from navalny, from ukrainians, to whom, god knew, to whom else, to the world and parted, simply parted, well, in one word, but about navalny at the end of the column, don't miss it, german chancellor olaf scholz frankly admitted why he didn't...
