these convictions were from the very beginning, from the 90s, so balanced, but other regions gradually evolved and searched for themselves and self-identified and determined who they were with, whether they were with european ukraine or with authoritarian russia, and fortunately they chose the european path . friends, i would like to remind you that we are working live on the espresso tv channel and are conducting a survey today. we ask you about this, do you consider mykhailo bolgakov a ukrainophobe, yes no, everything is quite simple on youtube, if you watch us on tv, take an expensive smartphone or phones and vote if you think bolgakov is a ukrainophobe (0800-211-381), no 0800-211-382, all calls to these numbers are free, vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. oleksiy wanted to add something, i understand that it is probably about voting in galicia, and about how you... how was galicia determined during

the last 30 years? well, the fact is that, of course, it would be difficult to expect that galicia would vote for rapprochement with russia more than other regions of ukraine, but then again there were enough illusions and there were enough politicians who could be used, well, if not pro-russian, then as a bogeyman, so to speak, we remember. all these stories, and including the financing of some radical organizations by the then supposedly pro-russian authorities, so again, there are no saints, everyone should be responsible for what they did, of course it is not necessary, so to speak, to attribute what did not happen, but nevertheless, that is , at least for themselves, everyone should make the right conclusions to move, move in the right direction, but again, this again, it's not just ukraine at all, we see what has been happening in europe since... and what

continues to happen in the west, even in countries that supposedly recently are our great friends and allies in the fight against russia, so again- after all, it is necessary, it is necessary to simply take off the rose-colored glasses, so that they remain in someone's possession and are not broken during this stage of the war, and understand that everything depends on the ukrainians themselves, on... their desire to protect their freedom and independence, well certainly, the help of our union will be indispensable. thank you oleksiy. let's talk about one more topic, about the trust and distrust of ukrainians in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, according to the february survey of the social group rating, 40% of ukrainian citizens do not approve of the activity of the verkhovna rada, another 37% rather disapprove, the general indicator of distrust has exceeded... well, you can see

the results of this social survey now, then as the work of the parliament is partially or fully approved by only 19% of respondents, as the infographic shows, the level of approval of the council's activity has been steadily falling since april 22, so how can you be with a parliament that people do not trust, but re-elect it simply impossible during the war, andrei? i don't really remember such a period when our people trusted the parliament, because they elect it, at least they change it, and they elect and change it, i agree, i would really like to stand up for the parliament in the sense that today the deputies well , very often they simply turned into executors of such willless will of the office of the president and the majority faction, that is, people who, in fact, according to our constitution are...

the main ones in the country, we still have a parliamentary, presidential republic, suddenly turned out to be obedient, not servants of the people, yes, servants of the president's office, and that's how i see it, judging by how many deputies want to leave the parliament, we know from david arahamia's statements that applications for the termination of powers were submitted, they were simply not satisfied that the deputies do not want... with this role, well, such weak-willed executors, well, in fact, if the deputies do not decide anything in our country, then why do we have so many deputies, well, let it mean that in our country there will be two or three people in country and all these laws stamp, well, it is clear that i do not support such an approach, i believe that precisely the subjectivity of the parliament and the independence of the parliament and its effective work, they are connected, that is...

when the parliament is a force, when the parliament is a body in itself , which really determines the state's policy, then there will be trust in him, and then he will work. effective, and when all the instructions come from above, of course, how can you trust such a parliament? well, by the way, by the way, the top of the servant of the people began to gather in march, as they write deputies in order to unite and improve the work of the factional nucleus, but it is not yet clear whether these meetings were successful, well, at least that is what the ukrainian pravda writes about. oleksiy, how is it in the conditions of war? this trust is not trust, the crisis is not a crisis, how do i solve it, how does it actually affect the situation in general, i honestly do not see, i do not see that somehow trust, mistrust affects the activities of the parliament, especially

now, well, first of all , i agree here that all ukrainian presidents tried to shift responsibility for the bad state of the country someone else, and the parliament was the most successful target, it was both under kravchuk and under kuchma, zelenskyi’s problem is that, well, shifting responsibility to the parliament on his part looks strange, because he has a majority in this parliament, none the president did not have such a majority as zelensky had, that is, he specially selected these people, he said that he took responsibility for them, so to blame them now... to say that they are guilty of something, well, it’s kind of simple, well, don’t comilfo , even with all his attitude to former friends, on the one hand, on the other hand , we see that precisely in the decisive moments of ukrainian history, both in 1991 and

1996, when the constitution was adopted, and during two revolutions, it was the parliament that ensured the exit from the crisis and the preservation democratic tradition in ukraine, even the fact that the russians talk about a coup d'état in ukraine, or coups d'état in ukraine, there has never been such a coup, that is, this change did not occur due to some delegitimization of the parliament, the parliament always maintained its legitimacy and so this is it shows that these are all fables, so i believe that at least people should be held responsible and... think about it with respect for the parliament, understand that we , after all, if we want to integrate in europe, then the parliament has still play a more responsible, more independent role, and there is no need to discredit him, and do not engage in this, as for the situation with the crisis,

well, it arises because, well, if the deputies do not decide anything on their own, if there was once upon a time kuchmy... received the opportunity to earn money in the parliament money, and now it has sharply decreased, especially during the war, it is clear that many people who followed this very thing to the verkhovna rada, well, that is, do not see much sense, but on the other hand, we see that from the opposition factions, or non-powerful factions, let's call them that, people don't run away as from the servants of the people, that is, this also proves something, and if the power is presidential, first of all, it understands the necessary. such an instrument as the parliament, it should take more initiative to consolidate the entire parliament, after all, there is no war when there is a war there is no, so to speak, opposition in the classical sense of the word, everyone is working and everyone is ready with some exceptions, which is true, but

most factions are ready to work for our victory in this war, so i think that if there was an initiative from the president, then the parliament could ... and go beyond this, this hideous majority, which does not actually exist, well, the question is whether the president needs it, if he has five or six managers running the whole country, then in this story, it is simply the role of the parliament comes down to one of the departments there, well, if it didn't sound banal, and you mentioned the role of the parliament during the crisis stories, well, when the parliament actually... made important decisions, we remember, in february 2014 , the important decisions were adopted when yanukovych fled ukraine, but we remember how in july or june 2019, after

coming to the presidential seat, zelenskyi dissolved the parliament because there was no parliamentary majority, that is, if there is no parliamentary majority, it must either be created ... to checkmate, or during the war is it possible to work like this in principle? certainly, again, this is another boomerang of the first years of the president. zelensky, because they dissolved the parliament, because there is no, there was no majority in it, now there is a majority, there are big doubts, so either we need to create a new majority, but again, this requires the initiative of the president, we understand that the servant of the people faction did not, on its own initiative, will create, beyond any doubt, andrei, well, i just wanted to say that there is a chance, in principle, for the parliament to become effective, if there there will be leaders who can unite and create a new one. a majority, it is possible to create a coalition government, but for this

you will have to go against the will of the president, you will have to stand up for your truth and say that this is more important for the country now, and not the system that has developed today, an inefficient system, as we can see, is doubts that the deputies will go for it, but who knows, as mr. oleksiy said, that in critical moments for the country, and which one? the moment is not critical, as it is not now, but the parliament showed miracles and was able to unite and accept important decisions, well, on this, on this background, we simply see how there is, well, a group of people who rule, i don't know, maybe it is during the war, it is appropriate, when there is a concentration of power there, but no one canceled the constitution during war, and no one said that there are five people who are around... zelensky, they manage everything, including trying to fight corruption, but at the same time, former

advisers of the sbu, like artem shilo, whom nabu and sap was detained there this week for allegedly being at the head of a corruption scheme for 95 million hryvnias in ukrzaliznytsia, but this shows that this group of people can not simply, as they say in... now in the youth environment, they do not simply take all this away, and it is still necessary to share power, including, well mono-power is not only all power to them, it is also mono -mono-responsibility, you know, it’s just that in our country everyone is afraid of words about sharing power, well , if you don’t want to share power, share responsibility, mono-power is also mono-responsibility, well, in principle, but who who... in this situation should be responsible for corruption, i remembered this artem shill, he was released on bail at 30, i

understand that he is responsible for corruption, in the literal sense, in the sbu, he is responsible for corruption, he was supposed to control, but this organization that he supervised it was precisely within his competence, but he was released on bail of 30 million uah, and these 30 million uah were found much faster than money is found. on drones , serhiy sternenko and serhiy prytula, that is, this money was found very quickly, and this proves once again that there is money in the state, but they are obviously in the hands of a few people, you know, if he violates something and it needs to be confiscated in the treasury, then obviously they will also go to the drone, and andrii, how, how, how do you perceive this whole story with the awl, because... he already feels innocent , but the fact is, in principle, probably not for nothing, well

, his guilt has not been proven, he is a suspect, the trial is ongoing, but we see how this detention took place, that is, it is an independent body from the president, anti-corruption unit, created under the pressure of our western partners, creditors, discovered and detained him national anti-corruption. bureau, as we can see, now in the image, exactly naboo, an abbreviation, this is such a greeting, perhaps from our western creditors of the office of the president, including, i will engage in a little conspiracy here, you will forgive me, but it seems to me that the west is also tired of corruption stories, we remember the ministry of defense, eggs for 17 hryvnias in the winter. and how long did the minister of defense during the full-scale invasion have to

be removed actually through various publications through various round tables and statements of foreign including foreign diplomats , corruption has not stopped, we see that there are signs of corruption in state enterprises, there are also private conversations in the ministry of defense. among military personnel about how it is organized, well, at the lowest level, and i understand that it reaches the top as well, well, for example, in some, well, fortunately not combat, but... body units , they told me what kind of vacation there is you have to pay the commander, well, the commander has to share with someone, i guess, people who are close to me, relatives, friends who serve told me, and so, i conclude that corruption has not gone anywhere, and that during the war we should pay more attention to it, there are

anti-corruption activists who call this mr. shill a person who... oleg tatarov, that is, there are strings attached, thank you, andriy yanitskyi, oleksiy mustafin were guests of our program today, gentlemen, thank you for participating in the program, i would like to remind you that during the program we conducted a survey, we asked you about whether you consider mykhailo bolgakov a ukrainophobe, the results of our television survey 73% yes, 27% - no on youtube, the proportion is 72%, so 28%. no, friends, it was the verdict program, it was conducted by serhii rudenko, i say goodbye to you until monday, until 20:00, i wish you a good and peaceful weekend, take care of yourself and your relatives, bye,

in the village of strylbachi in lviv oblast, over the past few months illegal deforestation has increased here, activists of the public organization forest initiatives and society are leading us to the top of the mountain. on the way we see fresh tracks from tracks and tractors. this type of transport is used by black loggers to take away the looted wood. and now we can see traces in the forest from small tractors, from various equipment that drove in and actually took this illegally cut forest. and there are a lot of such... temples in the forest, you see, there are much more ravines, and the track from the tractor is more massive, and actually legal felling was not planned here, we talked with the foresters. the very eve of the examination. we walk along the path and notice the first ladies. lack of brand on the sections and scattered sawdust indicate illegal felling. this is what an illegally

cut fresh tree looks like. you see, neither the law enforcement officers nor the foresters have had time to put any brand here yet. so now what we 're doing is we're fixing the diameter in two directions in order to calculate the average diameter of that slice, and we're going to do it based on that. which the damages will be calculated, the violators take the cut trees to sawmills, explains activist volodymyr yarotskyi, there they are cut into boards and beams, so the plots get rich from the theft of natural resources, and the forests are becoming bald in front of our eyes, during such illegal actions, illegal felling , the above-ground cover is also destroyed, the soil is destroyed, the plants that break are destroyed. the undergrowth is being destroyed, and of course, the forest environment is changing very much. a subsidiary

company, staro sambir galsil forest, is responsible for most of this forest. activists have been documenting illegal logging here for six years. the area of ​​20 hectares is overseen by foresters. they mark arbitrarily destroyed trees with a special brand. our forests turn into sawdust, which... does not enter either the state budget of ukraine or the local budget. at the request of local employees of the state environmental inspection, they went to the starosambir forestry and recorded illegal fellings for 2023. experts estimated state losses in this area at 17 million hryvnias. our materials are sent to the police, and the prosecutor's office, which is conducting the investigation, is notified. and further actions take place within the framework of criminal proceedings, and accordingly i repeat that our specialists do the same are involved in the framework of criminal proceedings already to leave together with the investigative task

force. 70% of arbitrary fellings are recorded in the starosambir district, 30% are accounted for by other enterprises of the hausil forest. according to ivan pidhoretskyi, acting general director, these statistics are given... illegal felling is caused by the fact that the area is not gasified and residents heat their homes with firewood, but there are still about a hundred palorams working in this area, that is, there is a great demand for wood. since the 24th year 16 cases of arbitrary felling were detected, per cubic mass of 89 m3, uh, this is damage caused to our company and the state for about half a million hryvnias, this is... literally in two months, part by part of these cases , a forest trespasser was discovered, who prosecuted, who must pay damages,

some of them are undetected, because we detect them, we officially submit these documents to the police, the police conduct an investigation, and look for people who caused damages. to solve the problem, the company's acting director plans set up night camera traps on the territory of staro sambirsk. forest, information about intruders will be transferred to the police, expensive cameras are promised to be purchased with grant funds. kateryna oliynyk, nazar melnyk, oleg palyamar, espresso tv channel. good evening, we are from ukraine. greetings, dear tv viewers, my name is vasyl zama, this is a big broadcast on the spresso tv channel, i am your colleague today for the next hour and 42 minutes. we will talk about the most important things, of course, we will report on what is happening. we start with

the announcement of the collection espresso and the public organization baza ua sprovit call for support for the collection of drones for the 93rd kholodny yar brigade as well as for the 72nd black zaporizhzhya brigade, our own production, testing, variations for the needs of the defenders, we can provide all this together by collecting two. uah the first successful applications of fpv on the battlefield are already there, and there are more to come. our goal is 2 million uah. remember that a donation to the armed forces of ukraine is an investment in our victory. well, actually today the enemy was fighting in kharkiv region, in zaporizhzhia, in kherson region. of course, we will not be able to cover everything, but we will start with the situation in the kherson region. for this purpose, we invite evgenia virlych, editor-in-chief. i greet you, good evening, well, the enemy attacked today and there were also hits in the kherson region, there were also explosions, well...

actually, a lot of bad things happened, which should not have happened, but the war continues, please tell me the security situation as of now , how was the day today in the city and in the region, most importantly? well, look, actually, nothing special is changing, if you look at the statistics, you can see that, for example, the number of shellings has decreased, but this does not mean that they have become less painful, for example, for kherson. and the local population is suffering a lot, they are hitting residential areas, in bereslav the bereslav community, bereslav district is being shelled very, very hard, there is a very strong impression that the intensity has increased, that is , it has decreased, maybe the number of shellings has decreased, but their intensity has increased , in particular, these are destroyed administrative buildings

with... destroyed educational buildings and so on, cabs and unmanned aerial vehicles are used a lot, well, the so-called shaheheads, they just chase transport, chase people, that is, it is a very terrible situation when the shahet just chases, for example, there was one of, one of the cases when shakhet hit a bus with humanitarian aid, miraculously no one... suffered, well, actually these shots, they testify to the fact that even if it decreased, the number of shellings decreased, their identity increased, you know , that's today a video appeared on the network, now we will show it, i will ask for a second, i will also touch on this topic a little so that people can understand what we are talking about, today a video appeared on the network, there are literally the first moments after that , how

the kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station was blown up. now we will watch just this video without comments, and then we will try to comment on it and understand what is really there, well, we understand what happened there, but from what we will see, i think it will be more clear the scale of this explosion, and how it was. actually, we saw there how this water went, please tell me, you know what is important, well , first of all, it is good that we saw it, it would have been better not to have seen it, it would have been better not to have seen it at all, but it somehow disappeared from us, the connection is lost, now it will be restored, the most important thing here is that we have now seen how this water went, the most important thing is to understand whether this video of the events will have an effect. evidence,

and not only to understand the scale of the environmental disaster and man-made disaster caused by the enemies, well, here is more and, but we are coming back, ms. yevgenia, and whether it is still possible to have an effect in some additional way, in order to understand what crime the russians committed, and that there are no such options here to say that it's just that the water broke, you know, the dam there has been collapsing since the 50s of the last century, please. well, look, in general, this video that they released on their channels already shows that they basically admit that they did it, that is, you can see a hand there, well, again, who could film in the occupied territories, except for the russians, that's why we have certain problems with communication, whether or not

can you hear me please continue there please yes with the news the problem is again this video shows that the russians again the russians themselves are proving that they committed this crime that dohovski i mean, you can see the hands there, you can see who was filming, and who else could have filmed in the territories occupied by the russians, besides the russians themselves, that is, this is a terrible, terrible evidence of a terrible crime, and we remember all this. i remember what it was like in the first hours after the explosion and what happened to people, but here is this video, which first went through the russian telegram channels, and they became the source, it spread further, it shows exactly that this is their crime, otherwise, how could they film, save and distribute it, and please tell me if it was not by accident that it got into ether, and it was from...
