free, vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. we have our first guest on the phone, this is maksym rozumny, political expert, doctor of political sciences. mr. maxim, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. good evening. so, mr. maksym, may has started quite a month. a difficult month for the ukrainian state and for ukrainian politics, obviously, because it is also for ukrainian society, because on may 4 the law on fitness and unfitness in the armed forces of ukraine enters into force, on may 18 the law on mobilization is drafted and enters into force, the order of mobilization in ukraine is changing, strengthening, well, may 20 is 5 years since the inauguration of president zelensky, how will all these three events affect and will they affect on ukrainian society, taking into account the fact that

there were quite high-profile steps taken regarding mobilization, regarding the termination of consular services for ukrainians who are conscripted into the military, and we saw this sharp reaction from those people who are abroad, and obviously we still we will see a sharp reaction from a part of the ukrainian... society, which will line up to the tcc in order to update their data or pass military medical commissions, so these events. are obviously very socially resonant and politically significant, but it seems to me that the peak of publicity, well, for example, around those new mobilization measures, we have mostly already passed and the culmination was this statement and decision, the statement of minister kuleba and the decision of the ministry of foreign affairs on the termination

of consular service for men of conscription age. i will explain my opinion, there is a lot of evidence, well, in any case, they write about it in social networks, that ukrainian men, when the authorities actually switched from words to action, uh, mass-moved to the territorial recruitment centers, and it turned out that that these centers are not ready to receive such a large number of those who want to register. update data about yourself, about your status, your location and so on, that is, it means that most likely nothing revolutionary and nothing very new will happen on may 18, that is, most likely this date is simply not noticed by me, and

next time we will, so to speak, return to this topic, when finally the department is responsible. for this issue, including the ministry of foreign affairs and the military department responsible for mobilization, will finally adopt by-laws, regulating documents that will clarify many things in this area, and nothing will start on may 18, i think that nothing in particular will happen on may 20, when this is also a topic, let's say, for the counterattack of such a propagandistic counterattack of the ukrainian state. but when we talk about all these decisions, which in one way or another affect people's rights, people's freedom, the question always arises: where is the border where there is a need to introduce some

radical changes and restrictions, and... -th phase, which we call the transition there in authoritarianism or the concentration of power in one hand, or whether ukraine is not threatened by this after 2019, when, in principle, monopoly power is already in one hand, or do you observe trends that indicate that democracy, which has always been the main thing in ukraine element of building an independent state, that something threatens this democracy, we mean not from outside, but some internal events, and well, the last phrase about russian reflections on our situation, it is very funny, in fact, to see , so to speak, attempts to say that here is a person for 5 years power, and that's all, it's already a threat

to democracy, when in russia itself, a person has been in power for 25 years, and no one seems to be bothered by it. regarding, well, in this we are very different from russia, and when answering the question, i saw this question to the audience as well, is there a threat to democracy today? obviously, democracy is a form of government that is always under threat from one side or another, but i think that today this threat is not so much from authoritarian tendencies. that is, from the absence of political competition or the absence of alternative opinions in society or any pressure on a different opinion in society, rather we have a threat to democracy from the side of its effectiveness, that is, from the side of the effectiveness of power institutions that were

created according to democratic mechanisms and... procedures, there is, there is a big, big , so to speak, the danger of being disappointed in democracy, i would say so, because certain internal contradictions, conflicts, i would even say, are growing in ukrainian society, the government cannot do anything about it, it does not manage effectively enough, like many spheres of social life, as well as attitudes in society, that is... if you go back to the previous question about mobilization laws and the publicity surrounding this issue, we see, well, critically ineffective communication between the government and the people, and this... is also a kind of threat to democracy , communication is not only what the government hears, but obviously what it says, that is, we perceive

communication in a different way, that is, we hear you calmly, we hear, we will do everything, yes, that is not how it works with society and that's not how it works with the outside world, and now we all live in premonitions of the global peace summit, which is to be held in switzerland in mid-june, and... here the question is also quite similar, let's say, subtle, because the world understands and the world can obviously talk not only about zelenskyi's peace formula, the peace formula for ukraine, and obviously, this formula can be expanded , in your opinion, should the ukrainian authorities propose a peace formula not only for ukraine, but also for the whole world, since we are talking about the threat from... the russian federation to the entire planet earth? well, i'm here for the sake of it justice should still say a good word about the ukrainian government, since

this initiative itself, the ukrainian formula for peace, it was a good move in the geopolitical confrontation that is unfolding around this war, around the situation in ukraine, around our, our confrontation with russia, it must be admitted... it was right and good that it is, because the efforts of more than one country are concentrated around this ukrainian initiative to date, and the attention of the whole world is drawn to it. of course, if we proposed something realistic, no only to restore our sovereignty over the occupied territories and attract. to the responsibility of the aggressor, but also for the new world order, it would be even better. uh, so far there are no such, uh, realistic proposals,

models of the future arrangement of the world, ukraine, probably for objective reasons, we are too fixated on our problems and on our pain, uh, and on our losses, so far we didn't offer it, and apparently it's not a feature. now the party that suffers from external aggression, but in the future, of course, we should, so to speak, focus on this and make efforts, because for ukraine this is a chance, it is an opportunity to enter the top league of world politics, well, of course, if there is progress in achieving our goals in this war and in the political regulation, and especially in those conditions when actually... this peace, or the peace agreement that was reached after the second world war, it was destroyed by the russian federation, it is clear that the formula for peace and or the formula for how to

coexist after 24 february 22, yes or otherwise it will be discussed, because it is clear that in this story ukraine is one of the main countries that participates in the protection. world order and in order to claim a place in the new architecture of european global security. one more question, mr. maksym, which will be asked literally in a few months, in two months in july at the anniversary summit of nato. it is clear that ukraine is waiting for an invitation from the north atlantic alliance. stoltenberg came to kyiv two days ago, spoke with... zelensky, and then the president of ukraine said that apparently ukraine will become a member of the north atlantic alliance only after

the end of the war. in your opinion, can we expect any surprise from nato, and that this invitation or a signal to the world will be given despite everything at the washington summit. well , in general, the period that awaits us, may-june, it is so promising in the sense of world-scale events, in fact, this peace forum, which ukraine initiated, and many countries supported, in fact the event supported, is happening simultaneously with a similar attempt consolidate a certain position. and it is possible even to put forward certain proposals from the other side, that is, we know that vladimir putin is going to go to beijing and... it is possible

that some statements will be made from there and some position will be defined, which by july , so to speak, well, not if if not radically change, then at least it will clarify the geopolitical situation and the confrontation between these two camps, how acute it is, how hopeless it is, or on the contrary, we will see some light at the end of the tunnel and... uh, well, a lot depends on the position of china, whether or not agree it is to reduce this tension little by little and to force russia to avoid further escalation, that will depend on what we will see in july, but it will be more related, i think, to the atmosphere of the upcoming nato summit, most of our

partners are very ... ovated, very respectable democracies that do not like surprises and that act very carefully, we have received all the signals that there will be no invitation, and that we need to prepare for such a protracted struggle virtually alone, but with the support of our western partners, on in the near future, this model is working, and the only thing that can change is the intensity of the confrontation, the intensity of the conflict. in yesterday's evening address, president zelenskyy emphasized the importance of the fastest possible delivery of american long-range weapons, which will allow us to repel the enemy on all fronts. let's listen to zelensky. we are very much counting on the promptness of the supply from the united states, it is a supply that must feel. in

the destroyed logistics of the occupier, in their fear of being based anywhere in the occupied territory, and also in our strength, in the strength that should show itself in the pokrov direction and in the kurakhiv, sever, liman, kupyan, in the south of the country, everywhere where russia is pressing and where we have to squeeze it, and also everywhere where there may be new blows, blows. threats mr. maksym, taking into account the fact that the americans have decided on large aid to ukraine. the british also made a rather large, large contribution to the defense sphere of ukraine, announcing 500 million pounds of aid. does this mean that the world has finally decided to show putin

that... that there will be no russian victory in ukraine and they will never allow it. the only question that remains open is what to do with putin's russia? i think that, indeed, these decisions testify to the determination of our western partners and to the fact that they, roughly, but quite clearly, imagine exactly what. they want, as an intermediate result of this war, i would say that the very mention of long-range weapons shows that we are preparing to stop the russian offensive, we are preparing, together, and the western allies are supporting us in this.
