the consequences of an attack by an aggressor state are clarified. so, we can see that the enemy intensified his efforts in sumy oblast. meanwhile, we understand that the question of our identification with you, our consciousness with you, our mental security with you remains important. i would even say so, because now a draft law on... for defense is awaiting consideration in the second reading religious organizations that are connected to moscow, and it is important to do this, it is important to vote for this bill, because we understand that the church is also a weapon for russia, it is ideological. weapons, so we will talk about it together with volodymyr vitrovych, a people's deputy of ukraine, who is already on our airwaves. glory to ukraine, mr. volodymyr. glory to heroes. well, let 's not go far. all people's deputies received a strange letter, as far as we understand, it contained certain threats. a letter addressed to henry amsterdam, yes, which is

a lobbyist of the russian church in the west, and it seems that he is financed by vadim. vinskyi, well, at least this was reported by your colleague, people's deputy mykola knyazhytskyi. volodymyr, please tell me about this letter, about its content, and what do you think is behind it? well, first of all, the fact that robort amsterdam is funded by mr. novinsky is documented in publicly available us lobbying documents. robert amsterdam is the one doing the de-sanctioning. list of the infamous ukrainian pseudo-ukrainian politician mr. novinsky, that is, the connection is obvious, as far as this letter is concerned, it is really an absolutely brutal letter, it seems to me that something is unprecedented in the history of ukrainian parliamentarism, when each of the deputies receives a letter with frank threats that in case of support of such and such a law, in this

case the law on religious organizations, against these deputies, it will be considered as an international crime and the mechanisms of international prosecution as criminals will be included, in particular, that the so-called magnitskyi precedent is paradoxically mentioned, this is very funny, because here in this case we have a simple reversal, taking into account the fact that the magnitskyi act is, on the contrary , a legal document that was used and is being used against those people , who cooperated, putin's entourage, who cooperated. instead, this mr. amsterdam is now proposing to allegedly use it against those deputies who will try to rid ukraine of russian influence through the russian orthodox church, but well you know that this letter, i think, mobilized some of our colleagues, the absolute majority, at least those with whom i communicated regardless of party affiliation, they openly

resented this letter, and therefore we have... i think now is a good opportunity to talk about that this letter ultimately showed that this version of the draft law is a threat to the russian orthodox church of ukraine, and therefore it is obvious that it should be passed sooner. mr. volodymyr, are there any definite steps from the profile committee now, it is possible to turn to the law enforcement officers, to the special services so that they... investigate this actual issue, investigate it in this way, because the threat to the people's deputies, well, this is a serious matter, unfortunately, the call is now going through, yes, of course, just today's committee meeting , which took place, we adopted an appeal to the security service of ukraine, in which, in which, in this appeal, there is a thesis

that the security service of ukraine should appeal to the federal federal. about the investigations of the united states of america regarding the investigation of the activities of this very thing attorney's office and its interference in ukraine's internal affairs and pressure on parliamentarians. well, paradoxically, the magnitskyi act was adopted at one time as a result of the murder of one of the russian opposition figures in the zone, so we understand that this act is not about what mr. amsterdam writes about, of course i am not certain, so to speak . by a court to assess the specifics, but perhaps it is worth preparing at a much more powerful level, in particular, preparing certain cases for work at the event, so that the event will understand, yes, what it is said, the media campaign must be very well thought out, and very clear arguments must be given, because the environment

of the russian orthodox church in ukraine will use, so to speak, terminology understandable to the west. yes, when they will demand to protect their rights as a religious organization, but they will always be silent, insisting on freedom of speech and freedom of conscience, so they will always be silent about ties with moscow and the corresponding institutional burden. mr. volodymyr, what should be done to be our friends and the allies in the west were not misled, it is obvious to work with them, this one. showed, among other things, that the russian orthodox church has started a serious, global information campaign, a lobbying campaign, including in the united states of america, in order to prevent the adoption of a law that ultimately set... to control or somehow influence the events in ukraine. it is obvious that this must be countered, it must be countered systematically, including in such a way as to

establish a normal dialogue, explanations between the politicians of our countries. and it is precisely in this context that what is currently happening with the business trips of people's deputies, the restriction of their diplomatic activity, is another additional proof of the extreme harmfulness of such initiatives by the leadership of the parliament. and i am convinced that the first and most important thing the leadership of the verkhovna rada should do right now is obviously to organize a group of deputies from different political parties who should conduct a dialogue with representatives of the legislative branch of government in the united states of america. it is obviously possible to take representatives of the all-ukrainian council of churches with them, it is obviously possible to additionally enlist the support of ukrainian protestant churches, which, among other things , are currently suffering from russian aggression, which are among... the faithful of these churches are among the killed, there are also destroyed protestant churches, precisely about this is what we should say, explaining to american politicians, including

right-wing republicans, when we talk about any threats to religious beliefs in ukraine, this threat comes precisely from russia, and unfortunately, the russian orthodox church, which operates in ukraine, is one of the instruments of this threat. yes, we agree, mr. volodymyr, and here it is important to put the right emphasis on why we in ukraine are currently focusing on this problem. paid attention, because we understand that for decades this problem was not noticed for one reason or another, now our state is moving towards solving this problem after all, and here the question is that russia really uses religion as a weapon, eh, or in this draft law, which actually is already here considered and ready for consideration in the parliament in the second reading, there are certain explanations, arguments that prove the fact that russia is using... the church as a weapon against ukrainians, actually zombifying their consciousness, absolutely, the draft law clearly emphasizes that language it is not about any restriction of freedom and speech, no one is forbidden

to pray, the bill tells about the fact that the russian orthodox church is the religious organization that is used as a tool of the russian imperial ideology of the russian world, an instrument of influence and in that including the justification of aggression against ukraine, and precisely those religious organizations that... this religious organization with its center in moscow should stop their activities in ukraine, accordingly, ukraine should not provide them with any state property, communal property, that is, it clearly states that we are not talking about freedom of conscience, we are talking about the security threat posed by this church and whose activities pose a danger to many ukrainians, just as i don't know in the world practice some japanese example of the sector. cenrio and what is the ban in most countries of the world, this is not a ban on freedom of conscience, these are acts that are aimed precisely at

guaranteeing the safety of people, and from this criminal and harmful and time-killing influence of these organizations that position themselves as religious. prospects in your opinion, voting in the verkhovna rada, so the proposed bill. well, we understand that certain consultations were held, how ready are the representatives of various factions to support the draft law? well, for now i am an optimist, and because i think that an important stage that we passed was still the adoption of this bill, even though it was still weak at that time, in the first reading, because it was in the first reading that we saw that these ideas about an extremely large number of lobbyists.. . of the russian orthodox church in the ukrainian parliament, they are exaggerated , that is, we are actually talking about a few dozen, maybe a maximum of votes, which were very ready

from the deputies of our colleagues, who are very ready to fight for the russian orthodox church, and some part of those who are indifferent or those who fluctuated, but nevertheless 268, if i am not mistaken, votes were in favor of this bill in the first reading, i think there is every chance that it will get the required number of votes in the second reading as well. in order to become a law, now a lot really depends on the leadership of the parliament, so that in the end this draft law is put on the agenda, then i am sure that these caring deputies, in fact from all factions, that is, the only one who is not ready to fight for it for e deputies, with which political forces are not ready to fight for this draft law are deputies from the former pzj. all other political forces that are represented in the parliament have at least a few deputies each who zealously took up, joined the fight for... that this draft law be adopted, and actually, that is why we have a certain kind of consensus here, in the committee , for example, despite the fact that the majority of the servants of the people are represented, there are also

representatives of e from... for the future, but nevertheless there are non-factional ones, this draft law was adopted unanimously, that is, there was no one, even who would get, so i am sure that the probability of passing this law is quite high. thank you, mr. volodymyr, volodymyr vitrovych, people 's deputy of ukraine, was on our airwaves, they talked about the situation with the adoption of the draft law on the banning of religious organizations connected to moscow and about the threats that have already begun to come to the people's deputies in connection with the possible adoption of this law. we will move on, now we suggest you watch the story of our colleagues about the hero, one of the many who, unfortunately, put his life for our homeland, so a full-scale war found him in the kherson region, far from his native home, when russian troops advanced on ukraine from the crimean side, our military was tasked with stopping the enemy, but the forces were unequal, then under heavy artillery

fire there was a car where is staying... so you want to know more about the heroic ukrainian who defended our state and, unfortunately, laid down his life for it, my golden sun, mother is always with you, always, for more than two years, this is how ludmila starts her mornings, she prays.. for the repose of the deceased son of bohdan rudkivskyi, who served in the armed forces of ukraine from 2019 . the woman remembers that he played basketball from the fifth grade and could not imagine life without it, later transferred to the regional sports lyceum, where he received a certificate of complete secondary general education. in 2014, when the team in which the boy played broke up, he could not find a place for himself, but he did not

stop playing sports. bohdan worked at various jobs, traveled to poland to earn money, but realized that it was not for him, so he applied to army, namely the belotserk anti-aircraft missile regiment, but even there he did not leave the ball with a ring. he went to the post of mechanic-driver of missile installations, he had such a big car, 18 tons, on which there were missiles on top. in the 20th year, they went on a rotation near donbas. he told me: "mom, don't worry, we are very far away, we don't have hostilities here." but it was not true. we only found out how he told us, after that, after this six months, they were there on rotation, and he came and showed a participant in hostilities, then i cried so much bohdan stayed at home for some time, but already in july 2021 he went to the kherson region, where all-ukrainian training took place. in september, the soldier took

a fifteen-day vacation. it was then that the woman saw her son for the last time. in the south of the country , bilotserkivets met a full-scale russian invasion. and as my mother shares, on february 23 they talked on the phone, and on the 24th he only wrote: we are leaving. however, he did not specify where. at approximately 3:30 p.m., they were fired upon by enemy artillery, targeting the car in which 27-year-old rudkivskyi was. relatives are talking about it did not know and hoped that he was not responding through vid'. connection, and how it quieted down a little, and this comrade who hid, began to respond, began to shout, well, to hear, maybe someone else is wounded or something, and he says, i heard bohdan shouting, he says, i ran up to him, took him by the hands, he says, to pull him, and bohdan was 95 meters tall, i dragged him, he says, i dragged him, well, he says, after two minutes , bohdan let go, the body of the bilotserkivets was found

by volunteers and together with the priest... buried under the ashes , these territories are currently temporary occupied by the russians, so the 62-year-old mother believes that she will live to see the days when her son is reburied in the white church, because that way she will be calmer, she remembers bohdan and his friend yaroslav, she says that their childhood was spent together and she has a lot of good memories . the boys continued to communicate even when they became adults, but because of the service, meetings became less frequent. a person who was always ready to lend his shoulder, if necessary, at any time, day or night, that is, regardless of the time of day, he was ready to come to the rescue, in some companies, he even had a nickname like golden, it is because of his hair color that he is red in ours, he radiated kindness like a little sun,

he gave his mood... support to people.
