improving the demographic situation in ukraine, in which he proposed to introduce a tax on childlessness for those who have no children at all and a smaller demographic collection for those who have one or two children. after a flurry of criticism from his colleagues, hryvko withdrew his bill, but this idea is obviously floating in the government's offices, that's why we're asking. what do you guys think about this? we are in touch with valery chaly, diplomat, politician, former ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america, chairman of the board of the ukrainian crisis media center. mr. valery, i congratulate you, thank you for joining our broadcast. congratulations you, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. mr. valery, let's start our conversation with the issue of zelenskyi's legitimacy, because today is may 21, 2024, and the russians have actively torpedoed this topic, regarding whether

zelenskyi will be legitimate or illegitimate as president. of course, in ukraine, we all understand that the president... in ukraine is volodymyr zelenskyi, he will be there until the next presidential elections, which will take place after the end of the war and the end of hostilities . besides russia, who else in the world cares about zelenskyi's legitimacy? i would like to to emphasize from the point of view of international relations and as you asked, the enemies, russia, are really very concerned. to blow this topic out, i don't see any problems with the recognition of the subjectivity of ukraine in this regard, and the duration of power, that is, the minister of legal affairs of germany spoke about it today, that is, despite the attempt to pump up this topic, especially on such

the platform where russia traditionally does it, without the un, i think that is obvious. to everyone outside that during the war it is impossible to hold elections, in many constitutions of different countries, this is all recorded and everyone understands everything perfectly, this does not mean that this topic will not be used and that journalists will not write in foreign media, well, we need to find an answer here, because in principle, what is quite clear to us, could be ... to be fixed by internal decisions, specialists and specialists in constitutional law know how to do it, i think that it would be right, well, i mean an appeal to the constitutional court, and because everything is equal one way or another, we will not avoid it

there are some discussions, questions, but for ours partners, in particular, for the preparation of the peace summit, it will not affect this situation in any way in the international aspect. well , today the european union and the leadership of the un confirmed that they consider zelensky to be the legitimate president of ukraine, and there is no doubt about it. but against this background, of course, the russians are trying to blur the topic of the legitimacy of their so-called president putin. why do you think the world swallowed this question. and agreed that the leader of russia, who was elected on the occupied lands of the ukrainian state, and these votes of those people or falsified votes, well, at least the votes of ukrainians were taken into account as those that were cast for putin, why, why does the world not continue this story, why do they not speak

already after may 7, when the so-called president putin was inaugurated. well , of course, this is not a question for ukrainians, because we perfectly understand that this is a self-proclaimed, he does not even know if he is a president, he formally sounds like a president, but in fact the regime there is already completely different, so the self-proclaimed leader is now, but de facto he leads the war , gives orders to attacks on civilians, non-combatants, i.e. he de facto controls yes. in russia, we understand that, that is why the usa took such a position that it was illegal elections, and by the way, many people took the position that such elections are illegal, but de facto the leader remained, well, this is the position, although from the point of view of international assessment is no different from the situation in belarus, when

lukashenko was declared the leader after a completely illegal process... the same is true here, well, for us, we must come up with such a clear definition, because we have many, different epithets people talk about the russian leader, but from a legal point of view, well, for me it is the self-proclaimed leader of the country, that is, even more so, that a person who is under a warrant issued by the international criminal court is a very difficult situation, you ask why, well... this is the same reason why many other questions arise, fears of a nuclear russia, russia's use of all these threats of its own, and desires. to leave some opportunities for the lines of contact of strategic issues, there to be threats of the use

of weapons of mass destruction left, i.e. in in principle, i understand them, but it doesn't matter to ukrainians, mr. valery, president zelenskyi said in an interview with reuters that dialogue with russian dictator vladimir putin is currently impossible. because he is not an independent figure, but is in the system of hatred for ukraine under the control of big money and his entourage. let's listen to what the president of ukraine said? it's just that today he is not an independent figure, that's the problem, he is primarily brainwashed, he brainwashed people and they brainwashed him. he is in this information sphere, absolute, yes... and in such a desire to destroy us, that is, you cannot sit down and talk with a person whose only goal is

to destroy you, and you cannot find a fair dialogue today, he is not alone, he not alone, somewhere there is money, somewhere there he is afraid that china is here, first of all he is guided by money, big money that is around him and... he understands that he must live until his death, and only in front of his feet will he be taken out of kremlin. well, i like the finalization of the so-called president putin, step forward from the kremlin, but this means that he can be the leader of russia, the self-proclaimed leader of russia for a long time. do you agree, mr. valery, with the conclusions of the president that... he is controlled by big money, some of which are behind putin, or in principle putin does not need it, he is simply a dictator, authoritarian, a person and

a personality who actually chose the way of war, the way of aggression, not only in relation to ukraine, but in relation to the whole world, and this is his policy, which he obviously will not renounce until the moment when he is carried forward with his feet. here are a few questions about what kind of wealth owned by putin. there were estimates even before the full-scale invasion that the richest man in the world. that is, if we take the stolen wealth, actually stolen from the russian people, and what he owns, through instruments, as it were, transferred to him, or through mediation. companies, he wrote something directly to his relatives, something to his entourage, the estimates were, i heard so, a long time ago, however, it was for this group that

surrounds him closely, and he himself is worth up to 300 billion dollars, i think that at the time they were more or less accurate, now it is certain that he is controls the pain, that is, well, he is probably the richest man in the world, and his in this regard... really, here i can agree, he is worried about how to preserve all this, as it is not paradoxical, although life is eternal, but this is how it is in this context , power and money, but he is more concerned with the control of power, because really the loss of power for him means, well , such consequences, which he would not like to receive, i am perhaps more optimistic about the fate of the head of russia than the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi , maybe i'm wrong, but

i would still like to see him on the bench the defendants and the trial of the international criminal court, it is clear that it is not now, but with regard to some dictators, there were also questions, they thought that they would avoid it, but they did not avoid, i know, i think that there could be a scenario of his kind of isolation in some of his palaces, everything is also possible, but there are fewer and fewer opportunities for him to leave somewhere outside of russia, that is, i think that he will really hold on to power there and hold on as long as possible, but i would not be guided by such an approach eh you understand, as a ukrainian, i share all these, our wishes, and i hope that the right messages will be sent somewhere, and something will arrive in

the right direction. straight black swans, but i would be satisfied with a stop to the war and a certain, i say, criminal investigation, or the isolation of this really person who committed so many war crimes, brought so much pain and tragedy not only to ukrainians, but i think that over time and in russia will one day realize where he is leading these people, this country, so i agree with... well, the main conclusions, but i think that we should do so as not to drag out this whole history of opposition to of russian efforts to take control and destroy ukraine, up to the point of destroying the entire regime, i would really like to find a formula to do this earlier, to fence off, to separate ourselves with a security umbrella from the russian territory in our...

countries and for it to happen earlier , than what god determines about putin. well, but what you say, mr. valery, that he is the richest man, that he has concentrated such power and such opportunities, financial resources, does that mean that he, all his threats and what he tells the world there about nuclear weapons, about the use of these nuclear weapons, that all this is loaded and... an element of intimidation and our western partners and ukraine, because if he has everything, and he is a person who loves life and likes to flaunt it, so is he capable of what the west fears? look, you are asking questions for psychologists, psychiatrists, that is, let me

evaluate in my field, because... there were really different statements regarding the state of health, that is, we can listen to other people, which i also listen to them, but concerning international events and international definition, then i look carefully at these threats from the point of view, not so much from the point of view of today's statements, but from the point of view of specific actions, that is, i understand that without testing... existing nuclear weapons ammunition, well, for example, technical tactical nuclear weapons, it is impossible to move further, that is, first there must be a test, which in principle can be carried out without an explosion, well , i will not go into details here, but there is such an option, which the americans have used recently, as far as i understand, they used

but russia... may really try to conduct some kind of test, which was not carried out already, if i am not mistaken, in 1996, without this it is impossible to move forward, that is why there are certain steps that are actually preceded by some threats. now we are at the stage of escalation of nuclear threats, violation of the deterrence system, violation of the international legal system, withdrawal. the main players in the treaties, the withdrawal of russia from the treaty or the withdrawal of its position on the treaty on nuclear tests, what i said about , and other strategic offensive weapons the third three are not signed, that is, they came out of no. 2, but this and america also came out, that is, we see that this, unfortunately, is a pandora's box that they have already opened, it is winding

many countries quickly to escalation and to say that countries do not think about this, i think, somewhere in those countries, somewhere in the two dozen, which will very quickly be ready, or legalize their nuclear status, i don't know, india, pakistan or israel, that is, some countries that have such an opportunity . i met with journalists from brazil, brazil in my time also decided not to produce nuclear weapons, but the capabilities of this country are there, or the republic of south africa was also a situation, that is, the technical capabilities, unfortunately, now there are more than two dozen countries, and it can be done very quickly, that is, i would look at this situation regarding actions, so far, thank

god... such attempts to...
