may 1 of this year. however, the temple is still not there belongs to the parish. what is the problem, our journalists found out. there are keys, but no rights. on may 1, the religious community of the roman catholic church was supposed to take possession of the church of st. nicholas. ever since the declaration of ukraine's independence , believers have been promised right in front of the church door that it will be returned to the parish very soon. the president also promised, president kuchma personally promised st. john paul ii, who was in this church, that the church is already being handed over, even our president zelensky in 2000. in the 20th year personally wrote a letter to pope francis that the church is already being returned, but unfortunately, this has not happened yet. the official name of the temple is the house of organ music, because of this the institution is subordinate to the ministry of culture and information policy. in june

2022, the ministry of culture and the parish signed a memorandum, according to which the church was to be handed over to a religious community, but the first one. in may , representatives of the ministry of culture did not show up for the liturgy of the faithful for the return of the temple. a month ago, they sent a request to the cabinet of ministers of ukraine, which obliged the ministry of culture to return the church to parish no later than may 1, 2024 with a request to identify responsible persons for the preparation of this event, but so far we have not received answers. in september 2021 , a fire broke out in the church of st. nicholas, and then the organ suffered the most. the fire forced the house of organ music and the parish into the street, but the faithful still held services in the open air under the church. after a full-scale russian invasion, parishioners were eventually

given the keys to the building. only without documents. since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, when many people left kyiv. we stayed in this building and the keys stayed with us after 84 years when they were somewhere else in the state, here was the archive, here was the warehouse, and for the last 40 years the house of music, the organ hall, and we still have only the keys , and no document, due to the fire the general condition of the building deteriorated significantly, the parishioners cleaned the walls with their own efforts... according to the abbot, the repair crews, in order to report on the emergency work, simply hid the fungus with slabs. the villagers of gvir have already developed a plan for restoration works in order to to implement, an official handover of the building is required. more than 600

thousand liters of water were poured on the walls of the church. we can also see the consequences of this in the cracked columns, ee. the walls of the temple, but first of all there was a terrible mushroom here, because these 600 thousand liters of water penetrated into the basement, where the ventilation had not worked since 2000. the church of st. nicholas was built by roman catholics. we are fighting for justice, and this is the justice that is already being promised for the first time, and simply so that what was built, what was built, the church, to be a church. two. on august 24, ukraine will celebrate its 33rd independence day. the roman catholic religious community hopes that by this time the church will belong to the parish. tetyana golunova, yuliya belska, espresso tv channel. and we ask

is quite simple on youtube, if you have your own, separate opinion, please leave it in the comments under the video. if you watch us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote if you see similarities between the two modes, 0 800 211 381, no 0800 211 382 and we have our first contact. this is volodymyr ariev, people's deputy of ukraine, member of the verkhovna rada committee on digital transformation, former head of the ukrainian delegation in the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, thank you for joining our broadcast. good evening. so, today, may 8, on the day of commemoration and victory over nazism in the second world war, putin launched 50 rockets and 20 rockets over ukraine. during the commemoration of the day of remembrance and victory over nazism in... the second world war, president zelensky emphasized that modern russian nazism threatens not only ukraine, but also the whole

world. let's listen to what zelensky said. and we hear how they in moscow threaten exactly the same extermination that they bring to ukraine, exactly the same ruins, also to other peoples of the world, this is exactly... and there is modern nazism, this nazism of putin wants its borders to end nowhere , but still there is and will be a limit. which the russian nazis cannot cross is the bravery of all those who resist evil. mr. volodymyr, why not part of the world does he see, or pretends not to see, that putin today is hitler yesterday? well, actually, let 's start with what is the definition and

main features of fascism, and the main features of fascism is the cult of personality. and militarism, totalitarianism and the perception of the hostility of any other opinions, and of course, if we take historical examples from history, then intolerance of liberal ideas, in fact, all this is inherent today in the russian regime completely, and... what a different matter , that if already, for example, many of the famous historians, for example, let's take timothy snyder, who clearly promotes the fascist basis, the fascist explanation of the russian

ideological basis, then we have to understand that... in principle, compared to what happened in 2014, when putin began his land expansion and wars of aggression, everything after all, the event took place, the other thing that did not take place until the end, and here we have to look at what is the connection of the european, in particular, the western economy. with russian energy resources, and here, i believe, is the main reason why the west mistakenly believed until 2022 that with putin it is possible one way or another to conduct a dialogue, sooner or later this dialogue will lead to something, and that is why all

the warnings of ukraine that sounded after 2014 and before. were, unfortunately for the western world, the voice of one crying in the desert, and when we are today, we do not have to prove anything to the west, to our partners, european, european countries, but there is a need to gain time in a certain way, supporting ukraine, and finally did not tear it apart. relations with the russian federation in order to strengthen ties to resources, to trade with russia, could be replaced by other sources, they already understand that the war with russia, if not very, if not not. but there is no yes, it is

very likely, at least if we see the behavior of france now, the same france that suffers from russian attacks in africa, where pmk wagner poses very strong problems to the french legion and in general to french interests in africa. continent and yet a representative of france came to the so-called inauguration of putin and was with one of the six european countries that attended this event, that is, until the event, western partners will not finally be able to break away from russian resources, which

they tied themselves to for decades after the collapse. to the soviet union, and i think that there will be no outright recognition of the russian regime as fascist, only a gradual strengthening of the rhetoric. well, mr. volodymyr, what is the danger of this, i would say , economic color blindness, or economic color blindness pretended by politics, when part of the european states, well at least six, which were represented at the so-called inauguration of the so-called president of the russian federation, what does it threaten? of the world, that is , the fact that putin is perceived or recognized as the president, and they do not say that he is the declared president, that he is an illegitimate president, that he is a dictator, well... that is, they do not resort to such definitions, how does this threaten the world? well, we see that, for example, the united states of america did not recognize the russian

elections as democratic, but recognized putin as the president, that is, they open, let's say, not a door, but a room for possible agreements with the dictator, well, they do always behaved with... until finally these opportunities were not closed for them, and the west actually is now trying to, let's say, permanently lose ties with the russian federation, and here it is precisely for the west that it is also an important moment to win this time, because a spending, in particular on the european continent... of most nato countries for defense needs was much less than 2% of gdp, which is indicated in the founding documents

of the north atlantic alliance, and now in fact, i know absolutely clearly that both poland and germany and and france, they are actively arming themselves, poland is particularly active, and therefore in order to be able to, ah... already meet the enemy, who will inevitably, i still believe, will try to enter into direct conflicts with nato, they need to buy their time, this such a model, in principle, which, if we take the analogy in ukraine, it was the model of the minsk agreements, when the much better armed and prepared russian army could simply... crush the ukrainian army, completely destroyed and robbed during yanukovych's time, which

could not resist at that moment directly clashes effectively and that is why the minsk agreements were invented, which in a certain way became a hook for putin and at times to win over ukraine and restore the armed forces. forces, but now europe is also trying to do it, another matter, well, the question is whether it will be too late, i think we will see at the end of the year where, in my personal opinion, the greatest opportunities open up, the window of opportunity for putin, in order to test nato's unity and strength, meanwhile the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine officially declared that they do not see legal grounds for... russian dictator putin as the president of the russian federation, since the provisions of numerous international documents were violated during the so-called elections in russia, in particular due to the organization of the election process in the occupied territories,

i will quote the statement of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine. based on the above, also taking into account the current warrant of the international criminal court for the arrest of putin, ukraine does not see legal grounds for recognizing him as the democratically elected and legitimate president of the russian federation. mr. volodymyr, just a few weeks therefore... the european parliament adopted a resolution in which it was noted that the status of the president under putin is not recognized, it is clear that the resolution of the european parliament, it is of a recommendatory nature, has a recommendatory nature or a declarative nature, as far as you think, and how many european countries, referring to this resolution, will not be recognized. putin's powers, or his legitimacy? i think that we will see attempts to pass between the drops

until it finally becomes clear that putin is the enemy of europe, that is, a little bit of chamberlainism in europe, and to the great regret of the cherchels in this... world, they no longer do it, so i think that the policy will be as cautious as possible, but i am absolutely sure that the preparation for the deterioration of relations with the russian dictatorship and the understanding of all the consequences of the racist regime now are in europe and they will try now, let 's say so. while there is an opportunity to counteract the russian influence in the south on the global south and interfere with the creation. of alliances with

countries that were in economic blocs with russia, for example, brics, and therefore, i think now there will be a kind of preparatory, let 's say, diplomatic war, but it is clear that if it is won by a global, so to speak... event, yes, then it will be much easier to create conditions for taking the russian dictator in a pinch, but here we need really very active and very coordinated work, but at least i see china's efforts to drive a wedge, in particular between the united states and the same france,

when such ... diplomacy in support of the creation of alternative nato alliances, it does not cause problems in china and then this visit was xi jinping's last visit to france, by the way, it was significant, also in the sense that he did not go to moscow, but chose a european tour, and it opens up opportunities to play with china, but... tai will think about trying to kill, well, make such a disconnection between the key players in the western world in order to accordingly set his goal of creating a second powerful pole and returning the world to a bipolar option, only where the second pole will be already. ..

the soviet union, namely china. against the background of as we in ukraine discuss the illegitimacy of putin, and hear calls from meps that putin's authority should not be recognized. the kremlin is trying to delegitimize president zelenskyi, well, at least during the last month there have been repeated statements that after may 20, 2024, when er... it is 5 years since the inauguration of president zelenskyi, zelenskyi, they say, will lose his legitimacy for russia as well, zelenskyi will not be the current president, well, at least lavrov said so, and the representatives of putin's administration, that's who they are for will the arguments about zelenskyi's illegitimacy be convincing? i think the split that

's going on. political in ukrainian society instead of unity, he is there, well, those who want to get rid of the current power impatiently, then they support this idea, but here it is important to understand the legal nature of everything that is happening, and article, if i am not mistaken, 108 of the constitution . i may be wrong about the numbers, but the constitution clearly states that the president of ukraine continues to exercise his powers until the newly elected president takes office of ukraine, and on the other hand, there is the decision of the constitutional court dated may 15

, 2014, which, in response to the submission of 104 people's deputies of ukraine, clearly defined, unequivocally, absolutely, that the president of ukraine is elected for a term of 5 years. such a moment is created in ukraine in the same way, and it provides the basis for these discussions, which are spreading and... which are actively fueled today, for this it was necessary to think in advance, and the office of the president itself should make a submission to the constitutional court regarding the interpretation during actions of martial law, but they did not do this, as far as i know, they even said that they were afraid of a negative conclusion.
