of certain private tv channels, cooperating there with the authorities, sends a list of prohibited topics, prohibited persons, even in this list of prohibited persons there was also civil society, veteran movements, dissatisfied people from the side of civil society on the issue of reconstruction, on the issue of various rallies and everything else that concerned discontent in the regions, you see on your... screens speakers, unwanted speakers, speakers, the first are those whom the authorities recommend, and they can invite themselves to their place on ether, and ukrinform means correspondents who record with them, various comments that you see on the air, unwanted speakers are those who absolutely cannot be invited to comment on certain topics that are uncomfortable for the authorities, so i returned to what i started with, literally... a few

hours ago, information appeared that friends, by an amazing coincidence, after the journalist yuriy strygun confirmed the fact of sending dark men to ukrinform, today brought him a summons directly to the kyiv office of ukrinform. the summons came, so you understand, to kyiv, all the way from stalnivskyi tsk, and not only that, according to the journalist, the head of ukrinform serhiy cherevaty issued a separate written order and zob'. made the barber appear at the tsk and report to him on the results, the journalist is 57 years old, he has never fought, this case can become , well, in fact, a bad precedent that will force journalists to practice self-censorship, what is self-censorship, it is when a person censors himself in release of this or that information, taking into account how the authorities will react to it, that is, in fact, russia number two. freedom of speech

in ukraine, and the whole journalistic thing, if possible, if possible, we will continue this topic a little later, i mean expand this topic so that andriy has time to say, i had time to say, it cannot be during the war, summing up, in times of war, we the people have to tell the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it may be, and the fact that the authorities are suppressing this whole process is a very, very bad bell, not only for the middle. countries are friends, but also for our western partners, the g7 europeans, who meet with journalists and learn about it from journalists, thank you, andriy, we, well, here we have the example of the temniks again, i don't know, i 've experienced it before and saw how it was introduced in the 2000s, when medvedchuk was the head of president kuchma's administration, and this whole story was brought from the russian federation by technologists, again this is the story with

the prisoners, this scandal broke out again in ukrinform, as yenina already told about the journalist who received a summons because he told about it publicly to the public. i know that you have been in charge of journalism for a long time right-wing organization, and obviously, you know, no, let's put it this way, in detail some of the stories, how different authorities put pressure on journalists in different ways, what's happening now, does it go beyond what... usually was, well, of course , i feel a kind of déjà vu, because there really was a powerful journalistic union, precisely during yanukovych's time they resisted, resisted all these attempts to influence the journalistic community, and i remember how entire editorial offices were fired, well , let's remember, for example, the business publication forbes, which was forced to disband completely, after like yanukovych's wallet, kurchenko ku'.

the entire ukrainian media holding and which included forbes, but i can say from a positive point of view that most of those people who then acted decently and resigned, today they are all in quite high positions in the journalistic corporation, i.e. reputation for a journalist is important, that's why journalists are not silent, and then later they occupy, well, honorable places in... in other editorial offices, they become editor-in-chiefs, they become respected observers, as far as censorship is concerned, you are right formulated for the survey a question about political censorship, because of course in wartime there can be restrictions, for example, filming military objects, wartime censorship, and it is justified, it is also a restriction, it is also uncharacteristic of peacetime, but here it is rational and understood that... if we

show the movement of our troops, for example, a missile will fly at them, if we film the impact of the missile immediately after and the consequences of the impact of the missile immediately after the arrival, then the russians can repeat it. hit the same spot to deal more damage and kill the volunteers and rescuers who arrived at the scene of the events, that is why there is a time lag, which, by the way, the journalists here agreed, thanks to, well, as self-regulation, no one ordered them to do this, they agreed with the authorities that they can withstand 3 hours after arrival and do not teach before information in open access and espressa does the same. so, military censorship is justified, but political censorship, and moreover, there were already issues that did not directly relate to politics, there were purely social issues, and not to show people who have not been given water for several days, there is no there is no water supply, do not show veterans, participants in hostilities who did not

receive legal, not remuneration, social compensation, yes social benefits, but people do not receive social benefits, they cannot complain in the media. at least in ukrinform and ukrinform cannot but cover this, it is not a political issue, it is not a question of political opponents, i.e. restrictions were introduced even for such issues, and to the credit of ukrinform journalists, they mostly ignored these whims of the new leadership, and precisely so we witnessed all of the entire story, because the journalists did not remain silent and told other colleagues about it. i will add a few words, which is important, we have a precedent with ukrainform, but you must understand why i mentioned the television marathon, i think, serhiy, you, andriy, and our colleagues, other journalists, are familiar with each other. who work as part of the television marathon, and believe me, i talked about this

topic with them, there are the same dark people and a number of guests who cannot be invited, we even discussed the topic of this or that guest there, it would be interesting... to show it to a large audience, after conversations with the editors of the tv channels, these guests were not shown, because they might say things that would play into the hands of the authorities, that's why i mentioned the television marathon and the option, in principle, of absolutely political censorship, which exists on a large, large scale in the television space, it is not only ukrinform. yanina, and conversely, i want to say that the authorities have blacklists of tv channels that they invite to ofreords. with the president, with heads of ministries, with ministers, and to whom they give interviews, etc who is not given, and of course in these black lists of tv channels that are not in the marathon, they are not there either, that is, we are limited in our access to objective information, if the president wants

to say something to the press and say, here is really a question of national security at this topic, let's be very careful, here is the exchange of prisoners, let's not disrupt it, or some other in... information he wants to convey to the press, then he conveys it first of all only to those media in which he is confident in the sense that they will do what the office of the president wants well, it should be said that we are faced with the fact that we invite representatives of the authorities to the channel, that is, we do not have black lists, and on the contrary, we want to make these lists white for everyone, and we say to them: listen, come, please, to prime, come to rudenko or to portnikov or until september or before... until winter, please, we will listen, we will talk with you, we need a balance of opinions, because we want the representatives of the authorities to answer certain questions, we we have a problem, because they don't want to come to us, because, well, yanina, apparently you also have the same

questions on the fifth channel, well, that is, it is practically impossible to get them on the air, because they do not want, they are afraid, because they will probably be burned there, but returning to ukrinform, the chairman of the supreme committee... of freedom of speech yaroslav yurchyshyn has already written a request to the prosecutor general's office regarding the situation in ukrinform. according to him, the introduction of such prisons is a very dangerous signal from the authorities. let's listen to what yaroslav yurchyshyn said. the facts described in the ukrainian truth may indicate that there were attempts introduce political censorship in a specific, actually positive news agency. journalists would not have succumbed to this, if this pressure, yes, as a result , the management of this media center itself has to be changed , that is, the attempt itself was unsuccessful, but from the point of view of the attempt of some representatives of the authorities

to introduce, even locally, some censored approaches, well, this is very dangerous bell yanina, this story with ukrenform shows that in ukraine there are problems with freedom of speech and, accordingly, problems with democracy, as in conditions of war? and the stability of power until the end of the war, to preserve democracy in ukraine, not to be silent, what we are doing now on this ether means that we express our position and disagreement with the tools that the authorities use to limit freedom of speech, and the more such tools, and i think you have all noticed that as soon as journalists do an investigation, or we talk on the air about manifestations of injustice. to the veterans, to their families, it immediately becomes a matter of concern, and the issue is resolved quite a bit

quickly, we have a story there with vitaly shumei, who was offered in the condition he is in now, you must have heard this story, to come, to pass a big man, a man with half of his skull missing, travels to different countries of the world, is treated, he was offered with his father vlk to come, to go through in order to get help, is so that you understand the processes that... in the country, was it on the television marathon? no, it was broadcast on our youtube channel, after which the next day all representatives of the vlk came and did this vlk right on the spot in the hospital in to the lviv region, this is a small example of how our profession, the government, works, you understand what the big problem is, it is the culture of the government, or rather, the lack of attitude towards journalists and information, they think that all of us... and me, and you, and those journalists who at least have the opportunity to criticize that we are their opponents, or that we

work for someone, or i don't know, poroshenko, or the russian epso, i have also heard this about myself, as soon as i criticize, they do not understand that journalists are the controllers of the government, we are a priori, not the ones who are against the government, we have doubt, critical thinking and highlight problems for them to solve as a hint. they understand it as a personal insult, and this culture must be changed, it must be reported to the president and the office of the president yermak, who actually manages many processes in ukraine far away from the rest of these advisors of the president's office, that we tell you what is wrong, and you draw conclusions and change the country, you are hired managers, we elected you democratically, this is the story all over the world, in the entire democratic world and about the european union, in which we... yes we want to enter, this is also one of the provisions, i wrote a post even on this topic, i don’t know if you

have read that from time to time various embassies, representatives of embassies arrange meetings, closed by journalists, where we discuss, but i go from time to time to at this meeting , we are discussing precisely the issue of freedom of speech and power, the relationship of the government to journalists, this is a key factor for joining the european union, if we want to be there, we have to make sure that... the country has honest free journalism, and not subordinate to the government , absolutely everyone, and the self-censorship that will now be granted to a part of those who work in the media, are not independent, subordinated to either marathon or the state, thank you yanina, well, to complete this block, andriy, what should the media community do so that the authorities she finally started to speak in a normal human language, well , they didn't... not some people from there, well, we were all born in the soviet union, most of those who probably work on

television, except for yanina, but look, i was also born in the soviet union , i still hoped that not in the soviet union, and in these in this story, well, that is, where people have it from, i understand where it came from in kuchma, i understand where it came from in kravchuk, or, this is the desire to transform journalists. on some manual there and make this media play as you want, and not as it is composed, how - how to convey this information to them? well, first of all, we remember the investigation of our colleagues bigus about what kind of monitoring is brought to the president in the papyrus, and in these monitoring the reality is already distorted, that is, all the criticism that is there, it is submitted and is positioned as some truly ipso or proisky. political opponents, everything is good, of course, the president's team did it, that is

, he does not receive objective feedback from the media, and it is clear that he is a very busy person, he does not have time to watch various tv channels, and he relies on these analytical reports, the person who controls these intelligence reports, he controls the president, in fact, the person who has access to the body, can go into the president's office, he actually... influences his worldview and can manipulate him, and who among us has access to the president, there are quite a few people, we know that the head of the office, well, there are maybe three, four, five people there. people who can go to the president not with a report on their work, but with some proposal, advice and something to offer, and dare to criticize. secondly, we thought that the president came from such a media structure, he worked with a tv channel, but still, the specifics of the work

of a tv show producer and the specifics of a journalist's work are a little different, a tv show producer works for... he has a script, and actors who leave the stage this scenario to lose, they do not deviate from this scenario, and maybe, well, this is my hypothesis, in the head of the president, it happened that journalists also work according to the script, someone writes them the script, they go out and express their own analytical conclusions, not their own point of view, they are not showing their own expertise, but... they are simply playing a role that some secret cardinal wrote for them in advance, and so they tried to do this 95th quarter in ukrinform, nothing worked, because journalists are not actors, they won't play by anyone's rules, thank you andrei, colleagues, i will remind our viewers that today we are asking our tv viewers

and viewers on youtube whether political censorship is justified in their opinion. in war time, yes, no, voting on youtube is pretty simple, either a yes or no feature, if you're watching us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote if you think political censorship in smi during it is not justified, 0800 211 381, nor 0800 211-382, all calls to these numbers are free, vote, at the end of the program we will match this, the results of this vote, maidan 3, this special operation. general bodanov once said, it seems that it started, and it started with the staging of this special operation by putin and lavrov, because for the past few weeks they have only been talking about the illegitimacy of zelensky. let us note that no one in ukraine puts an end to the legitimacy of zelensky, there is a war, we have one and only president, and he will be until

the next elections are held, and the elections will be held when there is a victory, and then the people will do the right thing you have a choice and choose for yourself. president lavrov, whom i have already mentioned, once again expressed doubts about the legitimacy of zelensky, referring to the recent statement of the dictator putin, who called the verkhovna rada the only legitimate body of power in ukraine, i quote lavrov. regarding zelensky's legal status after may 20, when his term of office as president expired, russian president putin expressed his hope quite clearly at a press conference in minsk on may 24. that sooner or later political forces will appear in ukraine, which are not indifferent interests of the people, it is clear that russia is trying to delegitimize zelenskyi, and here the question is probably how ukraine is now, why is it not doing its best to delegitimize putin, because putin is, well

, let's say this, more illegitimate than zelenskyi, because zelensky was elected in democratic elections, his full term was simply extended due to martial law, and putin was elected on the territory temporarily occupied by russia, ukrainian territory, and this is already a reason to talk about putin's illegitimacy. yanina, why are all our resources propagandistic, if they are, i think so, this is freedom, probably part of the state resources, the same telethon, why don't we constantly hear this thesis that this is the self-proclaimed president of russia, if only that.. . inside ukraine, inside the state, so that a part of the people who watch the telethon in ukraine, a small part of them, but still scroll in their minds constantly, so that no one even thinks that this is a legitimate president, he is needed at all to call the president, i think they do not understand the mechanisms, and this is already visible

even from the televised marathon, the mechanisms of people's empathy for this or that process and the process is memorized. purely instinctively, things that are really important do not condemn it, because the focus is political on maintaining ratings, and it seems to me that the television marathon machine should be working now, including exposing fakes that also exist in social networks. i don't know, serhii andrii, viewers, have you noticed how many fake accounts, fake... pages, well, there, for example, a page with a photo of a ukrainian military woman and a headline written there, this photo will definitely get less. rather than some tv star, well, there are tens of thousands of likes, comments, then subscribing to this page, then playing with the audience with

the help of this page is already on other strings, i briefly explained to you in a primitive way how it works on facebook, the same as twitter , tiktok, artificial intelligence created videos that talk about the persecution of tsk, about some conditions. no, it is clear that it is a false desire the ukrainian military to make peace with the russians, it’s all just a flurry, billions of euros are being spent on it, the propagandist of the mirayev and medvedchuk channels, diana panchenko, created her account on twitter, which is already english-speaking, on which she calls herself a ukrainian journalist and talks in english theses of russian propaganda on twitter to a fairly large audience and on youtube to an audience of millions, what is vla doing about it? i don't see it at the moment, it seems to me that they need to focus on the truth for themselves, on outlining the negative, problematic moments in

the state, through the mouth of the president, including mobilization, it should have been done a long time ago, and in exposing those fakes, people need to be educated, not all of us studied and read articles about information hygiene, all this should be done, but what about maidan 3 , serhiy, well, this is funny. you understand, but nobody in ukraine really has any doubts about the legitimacy of zelensky, until the end of martial law, he is a legitimate president, and until the end of martial law, we will not have another one, they miscalculated, because they think that we are here after may 20, we will all go to the maidan and shout, let's change the president, no, this will not happen, and this is another miscalculation of theirs, however, we need to work more actively on counter-propaganda, so... i think the marathon is a great tool, and the english-speaking resources are also a plus , which must be created in order for us to be understood on the territory of europe and the united states. thank you, yanina,

andriy, well, obviously, one of the issues is quite important and important, that this maidan 3 may still be picked up by some of our ukrainian so-called politicians, because they all one is in power. who apparently happily joined the issue of delegitimization of zelenskyi, opzh sits in the verkhovna rada, in all, in all local councils, they are representatives of the sharia party, two banned parties opzh and the sharye party, they are in local self-government, well, they have been repainted, they have moved in some factions there, but none of them are from the side of the authorities, they are part of this big machination, which was going along political lines at that time. and putin, when he talks about zelensky's illegitimacy, obviously counts on the support of these forces. if we do not want maidan 3 and until and accept

that zelensky is our president until the end of the war, then obviously we have to give an answer, and what to do with this russian, pro-russian front in politics, in the church, and probably in some government institutions including, well... precisely these people, since they feel for themselves, well, i hope there is guilt and a threat from various special services of ukraine, then they most strongly support any whims of the current government, and precisely for them, i i think putin cannot to lean on, i don’t think that he can rely on anyone in ukraine at all, we are lucky that... russians do not understand well who ukrainians are, this imperial myth created in them the idea that ukrainians are the same russians, er, that they think the same way,

live the same way, and this miscalculation led to the failure of their blitzkrieg in the year 22, because they expected to be met with flowers, misinformed the fsb of their leaders, and they also contributed some... adjustments on the battlefield and began to act more harshly, but their soft-power, this politics remained the same, that is, how much one must not understand ukrainians and the mood in society in order to believe that people support this thesis about the illegitimacy of the president during the war, but there is another problem, that we also do not really understand, we know on russian realities, because if we understood... russia better, then probably we would have prepared for a full-scale invasion better, instead of talking about kebabs, and we would have been better able

to counter and... hit russia's pain points, that's how it turned out that we saw in the russians adequate people who live, well, they have a kind of specific democracy, but it’s like a democracy, well, for a while we thought that different parties, but there is a liberal democratic one with a fancy zherinovsky, a communist, but still a multi-party structure, it’s like some kind of political competition, then it turned out that there it just lived according to the laws and these scenarios, when people simply went to the podium of their state duma and voiced their roles without having their own opinion, but we thought that they might be competitive, but they thought about us, that we are similar to russians, so we were mistaken for each other, and everyone stuffed cones, i can’t say a few more words about opzzh, i will tell you frankly, i am very sad that these carcasses opzzh, why do i call them tight, because friends, you all perfectly

understand that... their presence in the verkhovna rada, selective presence, you noticed, some sit, some do not sit, who as agreed, this is solely in order to have a compensatory mechanism, that is, when the servants do not have enough for something, they take these carcasses from the opzzh, and they add voices to them on the call, according to the joke from the president's office, how should one vote for this or that bill, but andriy, you said about the fact that they cannot be guided by moscow on... because they are actually hostages of the authorities here, but i would added a phrase here for the time being: i do not trust anyone from the opzh, or from other representatives of the past pro-russian political forces of any kind, who are currently sitting in the walls of the verkhovna rada, or a vivid example, you have probably heard about it, the tsk was created, engaged in distribution of funds for

fortifications and... weapons, etc the members of this tsk were representatives of the opposition bloc, well, this is just trash, you can imagine, and that is, people who went to pay homage to moscow already during the war, and who formed anti-ukrainian theses in general, now in the tsk, regarding fortification and weapons, the agency is full, gentlemen, let's open our eyes, it is everywhere, i admit that it will be and it is in the president's office and in others. the structures of kolinich's question and many others by shufrich, efremov and jasnim, it is not complete, and it is necessary to clean it all up as much as possible, what the government is doing, it allows to be, this also applies to youtube channels, by the way, which exist and are only repainted there like this max nykrasov muraivskyi, or the person i mentioned today also from the muraivskyi tv channel, they exist and even sometimes speak ukrainian,

but theses that they are heard, they are heard in the same way as the political forces - this is in general so far, so far there is no faith in them, these people should be filtered and pushed out, or they should sit, this is my opinion. thank you yanina, today ukraine signed a security agreement with sweden and norway and iceland. by the way, iceland became the 16th country with which ukraine concluded an agreement on security cooperation and long-term support. within the framework of the security agreement, norway will help. ukraine in the development of capabilities in the field of modern f-16 combat aircraft, president zelenskyi did not rule out that ukraine will have the opportunity to use them against a target on the territory of russia. let's listen to what the president said. as of now, i do not know the details of how we will be able to use our f-16s. but the good news is that we generally we will have these planes, and some of them already this

year. will there be enough of them? no, will there be too many? no, i don't think it's that much to have parity in the sky with the russians, and i don't know if there will be restrictions on the use of these aircraft in the skies over russia, we'll see, but i think the use of any western weaponry on the territory russia is a matter of time, otherwise, this conversation is not about a just peace. well, today it became known that... the states of america also gave approval for the use of their weapons on the territory of the russian federation, there is a limited range of these weapons that we can use, but obviously today is a significant day and may 31, 2024 will go down in history as the day when the main...
