the world is alive, two hours to keep abreast of economic news and sports news, two hours in the company of favorite presenters, presenters who have become likeable to many, as well as distinguished guests of the studio, events of the day in two hours, vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for smart people and those who don't care, in the evening for espresso. so, dear friends, we are coming back, do you remember how before... the full-scale invasion there were some such sports scandals related to ukrainian athletes and then there was a huge discussion about whether sports outside politics or not outside of politics, and the minister of sports, then and now he is the minister of sports gutsait said that sport is still outside of politics, now we have finally come to the point that no, sport cannot be outside of politics, and now they are already developing special some rules on how ukrainian athletes should behave at international competitions, in particular at the olympics, such an album is called good.

the minister is either good or bad, but there is, but there is, now it is not even about ukrainian athletes, but about a czech athlete who shows that sport cannot be outside of politics maybe a week ago he severely criticized the international olympic committee for allowing russian athletes to participate in the olympic games, and he says that allowing... to the olympics is the same as giving them airplanes, and reading books, and this is not a ukrainian, but a czech, a czech who understands what russia is and what it is, that sports cannot be outside of politics, that russian athletes, they, if they are on the side of russia, if they support russia, this is these are the same, the same inhumans who come with weapons in their hands to kill ukrainians, so now to your attention, an interview with the very czech

hockey goaltender, nhl legend, who actively helps and supports ukraine, dominik hasyk. let's hear him now . greetings to everyone from espresso, i'm in yavomelnyk, and today i have a unique opportunity to talk without exaggeration with a man-legend, one of the best goalkeepers of all time. of the national hockey league, as well as an olympic champion and a person who is definitely not outside of politics. domminik hasyk, next to me, is a world- famous personality and the first hockey player in general, who came to our country during the full-scale invasion of the russian federation. i am glad to welcome you to ukraine, thank you for your support and thank you for being on the right side of history. thank you также good day,

war criminal putin and many russian propagandists, they often state that what you see, the russians are here at my house, in another neighboring independent country of ukraine, they are not at war with the civilian population, they are looking for nazis, fascists, banderites here , they are terribly annoyed by bandera's song our father, ukraine is mother, and you can imagine, they catch... here in ukraine, even satanists, and i know that you have already managed to visit such cities as kharkiv, irpin, bucha, kyiv, and you even visited vinnytsia, and one hundred percent saw the atrocities committed by the russians in ukraine, and probably saw the bombed-out ice arenas. tell us more about the purpose of your visits to ukraine? russia calls ukrainians bandera

and nazis. the real imperialists and war criminals are the russians: putin and the russian federation, which is doing in ukraine ethnocide of the ukrainian people, including ukrainian children. last june, i visited ukraine to express my respect to ukrainians for their ability to defend not only their country, but also european values, acting as a watchdog state for all of europe. also, one of the main tasks was to support ukrainian hockey and to support parents and their children, especially those who play hockey. i am very concerned about the development of ukrainian hockey, because i feel responsible as an olympic champion for the development of hockey not only in the whole world, but also in ukrainian sports. what, for example, ukrainians feel and think here in ukraine, i understand, but... i want to ask you how you

think europeans and czechs feel, in particular, because for example, the distance from kyiv to prague is just almost 400 km, and do they feel that this war in europe, which is ongoing in ukraine, is already close, or is the war in ukraine and ukraine itself still somewhere very far away. the majority of the people of the czech republic are on the side of ukraine. they are extremely sympathetic to the ukrainian people in this war and actively support ukraine. the majority of czech citizens are in favor of ukraine restoring its borders. 1991, they also realize that the ukrainian people should not only end this conflict, but also do everything possible to prevent a similar situation from happening again in the future. when i hear that russians are not interested in politics, i don't

smile, i laugh, because the russian federation, the war criminal putin, his regime and the kremlin, they use not only culture, but also sports. in order to promote the world has its own narratives, we know that the russians play in the national hockey league, and you are a sports legend, your voice in this world, it is important, do you think, should the athletes of the russian federation play, for example, in the olympics, which will take place in france in the summer of this year and at other sports competitions, but i read a lot about it. although not all athletes participate in competitions, many of them are allowed to participate in sports competitions. from

the very beginning of the full-scale invasion from russia to ukraine, russian sports and russian athletes serve as propaganda for the russian war. it turns out that we, the western world, allow representatives from russia to participate in world competitions. this is actually a form of supporting their war and helping to spread their respective narratives internationally. this war is causing a great loss of life, and i will remain steadfast in my determination to continue my fight to completely ban russian athletes from participating. in any competition, every time they take flight during competitions, this contributes to the spread of russian narratives, supports full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, which in turn leads to the loss of human lives. not all athletes from russia support

putin or the war, however, unfortunately, they represent their country and as representatives of russia become part of the advertisement for the war, so they cannot participate in the competition. i thank you for this, for supporting and advocating and doing everything for russia, you should not thank, it is important that this position is heard by people all over world, but i thank you for your support, and at the same time i remember such, you know, pages of history, for example, the prague spring, this is the spirit of this revolution and this resistance of the protesters. against the soviet influence, i also remember what happened before the second world war, even how civilized countries wanted to think that they would stop the dictator hitler by giving them territory, or, for example, by turning a blind eye to the fact that hitler

was building up his war machine. now i hope that the world sees that the ukrainians are not going to retreat and are not going to do anything to give from one's own. europe helps ukraine a lot, but in your opinion, what else can be done to stop the dictator of our time, putin? first of all , it must be said that hitler and putin are very similar, and there is almost no difference between them. both were imperialists who wanted to take other people's lands in order to advance their own interests. at the same time, they are indifferent to the lives of their citizens living in their countries, they send tens of thousands of people to war and

death. the entire democratic world, including czech republic, helps, but much more help is needed, and i will do everything. that the assistance was much more intensive. the goal of the western democratic world, including the united states, is for russia to return to its borders. no one wants to dictate to ukraine what it should do, it must be decided by the ukrainians themselves, and the democratic world will always stand behind ukraine and help in everything. what else can be done for what europe can do for ukraine, ukraine to have more weapons, ukraine to have more ammo now? in your opinion, what else can europe do? i am very happy that in

the united states, after all , aid was allocated to ukraine, it is not only money, but also weapons that will support you in the coming months. i feel that europe and the united states are together again, are again on the side of ukraine and will help. ukraine needs not only weapons that defend, but... weapons that can be used to attack the enemy, and this is not only aid with weapons, but also economic aid, and we must do everything to to cut off russia from the democratic, modern world. macron's statement that france could send its troops to ukraine, it made a lot of noise, but do you even suggest that other eu countries could send their troops, for example, maybe the military of the czech republic could... go into ukraine, do you think ? at the moment , the political situation in europe is very difficult, and

it is impossible from a political point of view for european troops to be in ukraine. the czech republic is one of the leaders of countries that help ukraine not only economically, but and weapons. the czech president initiated this assistance in the amount of 800,000. we picked up the czech initiative of the president of the czech republic, petr pavelol, about a million artyads for ukraine, if you have heard or read about the slovaks, despite their policies of their prime minister, people collected 2.5 million euros for us, but their government did not pi' . i very much support our

president and think that he is a wonderful president for the czech republic, i also know about the situation with slovakia, with the pro-russian sentiments of the authorities there. today's slovak government is completely different, than the czech government, the president and the parliament. i thank you for this conversation, i say with confidence, until the next meeting in ukraine and glory to ukraine, glory to the czech republic, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes.

vasyl winter's big broadcast. two hours of air time, two hours of your time, two hours to... about the war and what the world is about, two hours to keep up with economic and sports news, two hours in the company of your favorite presenters, presenters, who have become familiar to many, as well as distinguished guests of the studio, the events of the day in two hours, vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people, in the evening at espresso. join the ranks of the hundredth separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, protect your own, the result of their work. this is our security with you, they, the boys from volyn, have proven that everyone can be a warrior, they are strong in spirit, they appreciate the ability to stand side by side with their brothers, until the holy victory. everyone who pilots a uav understands it, cooks, treats, repairs, rolls kilometers of roads, fills piles documents, significantly strengthens those who cover the enemy with heavy fire and return

our native land meter by meter, join the ranks of the hundredth separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine. let's keep the line together, dear friends, there are still two hours to go, lesya vakulyuk, andriy saichuk, we are working in this studio for you, before we introduce the guest, i would like to remind you that the collection is ongoing, it is already a new one, because the previous one we are 2 million with you closed and fpv drones will already be in our military, now we are collecting quad bikes that will help quickly evacuate our wounded from the battlefield defenders and deliver ammunition to the battlefield, we lack 4 thousand before we have... the first hundred, and the first hundred will be a fortieth part of the required amount , we need to collect as much as four million hryvnias, much more, twice as much, than the previous collection but i believe that with you we will do it, qr codes, card numbers on your screens, please join, we will save the lives of our military in this way,

evacuation is very necessary, as well as having ammunition in time , we know. that russian fpv drones are now lurking over the battlefield, they drop them non-stop, drop them on the heads of our soldiers, so this equipment will help save lives, and every hryvnia of yours is important. listen, in the meantime, you know, who watched our ether a little earlier, knows that literally 10 minutes ago there was a little more in our ether, and the blessed fire of ugh came down. that there will be a holiday for everyone still ahead, here, their holiday is different, it became known that on may 9 the president will come, another president

at the invitation of putin, although not yet... officially the source of the news of the russian state agency reports that putin personally invited the president of tajikistan emomeli rahmon, and he allegedly agreed, not 100% yet, but this is very cool. emomeli rahmon will be the third president who may arrive on may 9. it has already become known that the president of laos, thonglit and african guinea-bissau will also come to mara sissou. mr. sissoku and mr. sisulit said they would come 100%. the head of kazakhstan, kasym dzhomar takayev, may also join, but it is not yet certain. this is a great victory for russian diplomacy and a clear increase in their influence in the world. i think that putin is now sitting and learning to pronounce their names. mr. mr. stanislav zhelikhovsky joins us,

candidate of political sciences, international expert. mr. stanislav, we congratulate you. good day. do you remember how we went to lenin's mausoleum on may 9, and the german chancellors, frau merkel, and president sarkozy went, so what was there, well, who wasn't there, i don't know, maybe the late queen can't do that, but now something like guinea bessau, well , it’s not bad, of course, the country is nice, but well, in general, it’s a gain for russia, which... at least those three or four presidents will be gathered, well , perhaps the eternal friend of vladimir putin, oleksandr lukashenko, will also be added to them, well , most likely he should be, and although... maybe there they don't count him as a president, maybe as some kind of governor , therefore, it is possible that putin is hoping for other representatives of these or other countries, so

i think that he will meet each of them separately and arrive on time at the place when they will land in moscow, well, i think that there will be appropriate events in honor of this arrival, and we really see how much russia, let's say... has degraded in the last 10 years, when we correctly reminded, dozens of different guests came to such events, especially when they were, let's say, such round dates, after the completion of the big lash, let's say, the big secret, as they call it, well, let's remember that it's really putin who always flaunted this in his propaganda, that how honest... world leaders and how they are ready to travel to him and to pay tribute to those, well actually those commemorative events that took place in

russia, now we see that times have changed, even more so we see that they have changed, especially during the full-scale invasion of ukraine, and we see that now, after the next elections , he is already recognized as an illegitimate ruler . for russia, and obviously this will be very much in contrast now, when after may 7, after the so-called inauguration, it will be the ninth, and putin will be neither the president nor that figure that no one wants to go to, well, that is, in fact, he will be almost lonely isolated, well, and obviously he will remain so as long as he is in charge of the russian federation, but... of course it's a joke or no joke, but in reality it's all a sad story, because it means that this country is actually, it's becoming even more angry because of

such a position of the world, and this position is absolutely fair in relation to russia, but unfortunately, for us, for ukrainians, this is of course a great tragedy, because putin carries out attacks on our territory on the territory of our country every day, killing. our people, the civilian population, the military, also destroying in parallel, infrastructural facilities and the like, well, in fact, this means that until ukraine defeats the russian federation on the battlefield, such a dictator, a recluse dictator, will continue to commit war crimes, regardless of whether they support whether he is in the world or not, whether he is condemned or not, but in fact we see that this is... this is his revenge on the whole world and unfortunately he is dumping all this revenge on us in the direction of ukraine, ukrainians, so we need to persevere

and hope that our western partners in they will help it, because otherwise it cannot be neutralized in any way, but only in this military way, and in fact we see that putin has put everything on it. to destroy our state, so no matter who actually comes, he will continue to do it, you know, but this show is primarily for the domestic consumer, i mean this parade, victories, may 9, victories and so on, victory madness, and i, you may have also seen the story of the bbc steve rosenberg, the head of the bbc's own bureau in moscow, about the exhibition of trophy equipment western models, mostly exhibited in moscow. a huge queue of muscovites, russians, who stand for hours to look at this equipment that was captured,

and there are 34 exhibits, and above all this there is a victory, and the main slogan of this exhibition, it is called, victory, our victory is unavoidable, inevitable, and actually steve rosen. says that he still remembers when there was a soviet union and the same thing was published then with only a different slogan, but otherwise it sounded like the victory of communism was inevitable, and he so-so allowed a sarcastic comment that it didn't work very well for them then, nevertheless we can see that the russians are impressed by it , they feel great again, because they are fighting then not with ukraine, but with the whole world, these are american tanks, these are american. the cars are swedish, well, actually, we see that the idea was taken in ukraine, because we had,

let's say, this initiative to exhibit. captured and destroyed equipment of the russian federation, but we exhibit it fairly, because this is an aggressor who came to our land, and we destroyed this equipment on our land, this must be realized, immediately putin himself declared war on ukraine, and sends there his troops, and equipment, weapons, everything anything, and even now it is very strange that he is bringing the equipment that defends our land from there, therefore... it should be taken into account that ukraine is disproportionate in power to the russian federation and it obviously needs western weapons, western support, financial resources and so on similar, so that you actually endure, but nevertheless, putin still brazenly plagiarized and demonstrates that russia is allegedly fighting nato troops, not ukraine, because he is afraid of losing

to us, to us ukrainians, who are bravely... fighting for our land, well, but nevertheless, we see that it was done, of course, for the purposes of propaganda for its consumers, and here it is also worth realizing this in the context of not only the so-called victory day, but also the same pseudo-inauguration, in order to actually pay the russian people for the fight against the ukrainians, well , obviously taking into account what is now in russia, as reported and forecasted, it is possible that there will be a new wave of mobilization and the sending of troops for... some kind of repeated attempt to make a breakthrough at the front, then it is obviously necessary to show, you see, we, but putin talked about the fact that we are fighting with the nazis, with the americans, well, we really need to save russia, because they actually say that all the time, and putin himself says that there is a threat of the disappearance of russia as a state, there is a threat to its sovereignty and the like, well, in fact, all these

narratives that we hear recently for years that is, in fact, he wants to reinforce them in this way and send new cannon fodder to the front to achieve some ephemeral goals that he set for himself even before the full-scale invasion of ukraine. we literally have less than two minutes left, cameron, macron, everyone is talking about the fact that, in the last resort, we will fight for ukraine, this is something new, and sijin pin is rushing to macron, he will... be convinced, well, here it is worth understand that each state plays its own geopolitical game, and britain and france, they really have to aims to support our state, but they can see a certain competition in this context as well, it is worth realizing, that is why they actually have somewhat different positions regarding aid to ukraine, regarding the chinese leader, so here it is important for him to actually restore partnership relations, mainly financial and

trade nature with... the european union in order to improve the economic situation of their country, and that is why we see that this visit will take place, but we also hope that there will be a conversation about sidzinpinim's support for the ukrainian formula peace, because i want to remind you that the visit of the chinese leader will take place almost a month before the swiss global peace summit, where there is great hope for the participation of the chinese delegation. and support for the ukrainian vision of ending the war. thank you, mr. stanislav. stanislav zhelikhovsky was with us, candidate of political sciences, international expert. dear friends, well , we are approaching 3 p.m., and i would like to remind you that at the exact same hour on espresso, as always, there is a fresh selection of news, and our journalists have already prepared it. anna eva melnyk appears on your screens, which means that we will watch what happened in ukraine and the world, annoyeva, you have a word. congratulations, colleagues, thank you for

your work, the news editor will tell you. about the main events for this hour, and i will start with the fact that the blessed fire has descended. the blessed fire descended in jerusalem. the miracle traditionally happened. in the city where jesus christ is buried, in the morning , delegations of christian churches inspected the chapel above the grave, after which they sealed it, before the ceremony in the church of the resurrection of christ, all the candles and lamps were extinguished, and he entered patriarch of jerusalem. the faithful waited under the walls of the temple, when the blessed fire went down, the patriarch lit it and took out 33 candles, symbolizing the number.
