looked with these in caps with the tsk logo. sofya, thank you very much, sofya lazarova, an analyst of the honest movement. and we continue to talk with igor fries. igor, look, today, or rather the day before, when the appeals court was deciding whether to keep mykola tyshchenko under house arrest, his lawyers said that mykola should be released, because if he stays at home, he will not be able to attend meetings of the verkhovna rada , and if he cannot attend the council meeting. then the activities of the verkhovna rada will be paralyzed, i don't know maybe someone believed it, but you tell me, what is the effect of the absence of a specific and active deputy, you know, it does not affect, does not affect, units do not affect the actions of the verkhovna rada, let's put it this way, we have several people's deputies on today, in one way or another , they are deprived of the opportunity to be present at the meeting of the verkhovna rada, some of them are suspected of treason and they are staying. in the body, well, let's say this, in

the remand cells, yes, and mykola, mykola has been selected as a precautionary measure, such as stay, 24-hour house arrest, staying at home under arrest, and wearing an electronic wristband, you know, it does not, it will not globally affect the adoption of certain decisions, as of today, the majority in the verkhovna rada is formed by 226 votes, in any case , there are draft laws, but the work of lawyers... to help their client and in any way to help him reduce, let's say, ways of providing and return to full functioning. then there is the following question: we know that formally mykola tyshchenko is excluded from the faction, from of the servant of the people party, informally, according to the opinions of opposition deputies and political scientists there, there is still such an assumption that mykola tyshchenko remains valuable to the servant of the people, if only because he constantly votes.

with the exception of very specific bills, such as, for example, the opening of the declaration registers, but still votes for the legislative initiatives of the servant of the people, or how critical is the possible loss of one more person who presses the green button at the right moment for the servant of the people? you know, not critical, it is firstly, secondly, the faction expressed its vision through an open vote, when there was a question of mykola's expulsion from the faction, we have a faction... certain certain discipline and certain factional agreements at the start of our term, when we vote 70 to 30 and the decision is considered to have been made on one or another issue, therefore, according to mykola, it was a lively discussion in the faction, and signatures were collected and the deputies personally signed signature letters about the exclusion of mykola from the faction, i no longer remember, at least from which specific zaskhvar it happened, well, it seems to me that after he went to thailand, isn't it? well, the fact

of thailand itself was not the reason, after that it was either the excuses themselves, or the protection scheme he chose, which further drowned him in this situation, and it was because of this that most likely happened, happened in the extreme, such a decision, but they really dragged tyschenko for a little bit too long, still closed their eyes to the working velor celebrating birthdays there during the coronavirus, but only this thailand and the fact that this trip of his happened during a full-scale war only then it was such a red line, when he was expelled, and before that they still turned a blind eye, because he remained such an influential deputy, this conclusion can be drawn at least from the fact that he held high positions in the party itself, well first of all, he held high positions in the faction, he was the deputy head of the servants of the people faction in the verkhovna rada, he was also the head of the kyiv branch, then the zakarpattia branch, and the servant of the people branch of the party, it really

was... but within the faction were different, different relationship with mykola, we personally, we sit not far across the row literally pass each other, we had different moments of our lives with him, during these 4.5 years and active, we actively argued and shook hands on some issues, i.e. was different in this life, but justice must be in any case for... any person, so the indicated, indicated authority today is on the side of the ball, let's say so, the bodies of inquiry and investigation, and let's it was transparent and open, and any and all forms, so that we do not pressure the investigation and give it the opportunity to really understand the situation, as in the case of the first suspicion, it is possible that the suspicion will also be expanded, because it seems to me that the most painful and key moment is precisely the form that you chose today regarding excess of powers. thank you very much. people's deputy, servant

of the people and representative of the legal policy committee, we talked about mykola tyshchenko's political, but not only political prospects. thank you very much. well, the parliamentary elections are going on in great britain, there are intrigues here not much, according to the latest polls , the conservative party, which has been in power for 14 years, is guaranteed to be defeated, prime minister rishi sunak will resign, instead , the center-left labor party is expected to be guaranteed a majority of seats, and the new prime minister of great britain keir starmer will become labor leader, the first such general election in great britain. after the country's exit from the european union, so to speak, the first election after brexit, the polling stations started work at 7 in the morning local time, voting will continue until 10:00 p.m., after which the first results based on the voter survey will be announced. what will these elections turn out to be, firstly

for europe, secondly for ukraine, where great britain is considered both a great friend and a strategic partner. we will talk about it further. bohdan tsyupin, voa's european correspondent from london joins. to our broadcast, i welcome you, yes, congratulations, did i say it correctly, there is absolutely no doubt, rishi sunak completes his premiere tenure you used the word guarantee, guaranteed, british politicians and british journalists try not to use those words, well, first of all out of caution, because on the one hand we have very encouraging for labour... polls, according to which nationally, for example, support to labor, about 40% of respondents, these were given just a few days before the election, to the conservatives , about 20%, that is, almost twice as high,

but it matters who wins in each individual constituency, because the level national support... in the country it doesn't matter, it's the specific votes in the specific constituency that matter, that is, if, say, in the constituency, well, mine, for example, here in london, where, where, where i voted, if the representative of the labor party wins here , then the deputy from this district will be he or she, if more than half of all districts are gathered in the parliament as a result. mps is such a magic number, then the party automatically gets the right to form a government, labor has reasons to to hope for success, if only because, as a rule, after such a period of 14

years, well, any party expires in power, and very often in these cases , almost, in the end, almost without exception, the voters sent the party, who tried to be in the opposition for a long time while in power, bohdan, we will now talk about what would be better for ukraine, labor or conservatives, what to expect from the next prime minister, but first i am interested to learn about such a european aspect, this is indeed the first election since the uk left the eu, do the british people regret their choice, you know, something important is happening in this election or during this election campaign about brexit, british politicians prefer not to talk at all, not to mention, the main issues in the election were, for example, the problems with the cost of living there , inflation,

rising fuel prices, electricity prices, so what, food prices, school problems, problems... in hospitals, in the system, in the state health care system, etc. brexit was almost taboo, why? on the other hand , some people allowed themselves to say that it was certain because neither party has anything to brag about, nor the conservatives who won the previous election won the previous election in 2019, boris johnson led the conservatives to a very big victory in the general election under. with the slogans of the implementation of brexit, the implementation of the decisions of the referendum, get brexit done, boris johnson promised, brexit is implemented, britain officially left the european union several years ago, but it seems that

if there was something to brag about, then they would have talked about it in the elections, but about this it was not discussed, labor is also silent, in particular, because they do not want to raise. a touchy subject on which their position has been mixed, they do not promise to return the uk to membership at all. in the european union, so the situation is like this, and the party, by the way, the party that was the loudest after brexit, the so-called united kingdom independence party, under the leadership of a certain nigel farage, who may be known in ukraine, appeared again, under a new name , in a new form, under his own leadership, but it's now called the reform party, and now it's... uh, again, not so much emphasizes brexit, er, claiming that it

was simply implemented incorrectly, emphasizes that a very big problem for britain is migration, and that it is this problem that must be solved among the first, so the situation is like this, i spoke, help to ukraine, this, this, no, actually, this, this is very interesting, what you told, yes, because even in ukraine at one time brexit was very closely followed, this, this was an interesting topic. yes, now to ukraine, i remind you that as the new prime minister, i no longer guarantee anything, ok, but with a high probability, don't guarantee, let's wait until 10pm uk time when the results of the polls of voters at the polling stations come out, as a rule , these polls are quite reliable, and we will already know who is heading for victory , who doesn't, very, very quickly, but the british press writes that it will be... keir starmer, his name is the leader of the labor party, he used to speak quite well there about supporting

ukraine, but it's one thing when you're a candidate and you promise something , it's another matter when you are already directly the leader there and whether you are elected the prime minister or the president and when you say something keir starmer as the leader of the labor party, if the labor party gets a majority he automatically becomes the prime minister, so it is doubtful that kirremr will be the prime minister in in the event of a labor victory and... there is no doubt, this can be guaranteed, and what kind of person is he, what can kyiv expect from him, what are the forecasts, this is a person, this is a person who, as the leader of the opposition, as early as february 2023 came to kyiv, maybe you remember, he went to places near kyiv, which were under occupation, he personally looked at the bombed-out houses with his own eyes, he met, talked with... with ukrainian victims who, who talked to him, he, he saw, he

was given testimonies of the atrocities committed by the russian occupiers, approaching, trying to seize kyiv, so he personally arrived in kyiv in february of last year to emphasize that he will continue the policy of supporting ukraine, which the current government is also pursuing, because even now in the british parliament , all parliamentarians are. the parties converged on of this course, support of ukraine, in addition, i don't know, maybe you noticed it, the news was in may of this year, the so-called shadow ministers of foreign affairs and defense, from the ranks of the labor party, these are deputies, came to kyiv, met with ukrainian officials, once again emphasizing that... the policy of supporting ukraine is the policy of the state of great britain, not of any

one party, not of conservatives, not of labor, not of any other parties or liberal democrats, but the policy of the state , i have one more question, if possible briefly, because we have a minute left, today the ukrainian press wrote about the fact that valery zaluzhnyi crossed the border and apparently already went to great britain, where he will start working as an ambassador, are they waiting for him there, what the local press may be writing about it, they are already waiting for him here. for many months, and i have been asked for six months whether the zaluzhny is already in london, or whether the zaluzhny has already arrived, we in turn ask the representatives of the ukrainian embassy here in london, and at least until recently they said, we are also waiting, we do not know the only thing i repeat is that if zaluzhny, when zaluzhny comes to london, then... everyone will know about it, because despite the fact that there are

hundreds, and maybe even thousands, of various ambassadors, diplomats, among them such as zaluzhny, well, there are probably none, that is, attention there will be one unequivocally very big thing attached to him, and we will know about it immediately, as soon as he appears in public, thank you, bohdan tsyupin, european correspondent of the ukrainian service of the voice of america, we have everything for today, i urge you.. subscribe to radio svoboda's website , like this broadcast this way you will support our work until tomorrow. there are discounts, the only discounts are a separate trial of 15% in pharmacies of travel fams and savings. euro-2024 only for mego. football europe is ready to crown a new national team. who will become the champion and forever go down in history. watch all euro 2024 matches exclusively on

on february 24, 2022, katya lived in the kherson region. in the city of gola prystan, which is currently temporarily occupied, due to the fact that, for obvious reasons, the connection with the occupied territories is complicated, and in some places completely absent, it is impossible to find out whether the girl is still in the kherson region, but perhaps this the program on the internet will be seen by the residents of the naked marina, so i ask you, if you know at least some information about katya sviridova, let us know on the hotline 116. you can also write to the chatbot of the service search for children in telegram. please do not remain indifferent. also in the kherson region and also at the beginning of the full-scale invasion , this guy disappeared, his name is kyrylo selivanov. he is 17 years old and he disappeared in the temporarily occupied village of gladkivka. it is

actually not far from the naked pier, where katya sviridova, whom i told at the beginning, is from. i ask you. look closely at the guy's face, maybe you will recognize him. unfortunately, there is no news about him since february 2022. of course, it is not excluded that kirill could be taken to russia, as it is, unfortunately, often happens with children in the occupied territories, but this is only a guess, and in fact the boy may still remain in the occupation. so i am asking absolutely everyone, and yet, especially residents of the occupied part of the kherson region. look carefully at the photo of the boy, if you recognize him, don't delay and please call us immediately on the hotline of the child tracing service at the short number 116. 30. calls from all mobile operators in ukraine are free. if it is inconvenient or there is no possibility to call, you can write to us on the website

parade and who is participating in it this year? in general, an important part of the celebration of independence day in the united states of america is festivals, there are meetings with family, there are parades, in which, in particular, as i just said, ukrainian columns and fireworks took part. and about ukrainian. column, as you correctly noted, this is the third year in a row, the third year that the ukrainian column has taken part in a solemn celebration, in a solemn parade in the capital of the united states of america in washington, in fact , there are several cars in this convoy, there was also music, activists were present, ukrainian symbols, ukrainian and american flags were present, and as the organizers and activists themselves claim, the main theme and main message... of their participation in the parade independence of the united states of america, there is the fact that ukrainians are trying to say thank you for all the help that the americans have already provided and to remind them that the war is still going on and help

is still needed. in general, the initiators of this ukrainian column in washington are the organization united help ukraine, and in order to organize the participation of the ukrainian column in this parade, it is necessary to overcome a lot of bureaucracy, apply many procedures and be, so to speak, approved by the official organizers. and this organization succeeded in all this, and in particular, this year more than 150 participants, activists of this column and this one, joined this, this column, during this parade. in particular, i spoke with the representative of united help ukraine, the director, and she told how the process of organizing and participating in this council actually happens, and what its goal? i suggest you listen. 150 participants. the ukrainian delegation will march with us today, if you see the platform, it is very symbolic, these are ukrainian hands, yellow and blue, holding the world, because

today we know that the fourth... of july is america's independence day, we congratulate them, we they are very, we are very grateful to them for their help, but now it is ukraine that stands in defense of the independence of the entire democratic world, therefore it is very important for us to show the symbols of the ukrainian struggle, the struggle for independence, and also to show gratitude to the american people and government. heard in the words of one of the unprecedented organizers. the initiator of the ukrainian column, which was joined by 150 participants in this column, but here it is worth noting that not only those who live in washington, in the capital of the united states of america, or in the surrounding areas joined, but also people from other states flew in, in particular, i managed to talk to one of the activists who flew in from california, traveled at least four hours by plane to fly to washington and join this parade, and one of her things... what she

brought, these were 12 flags signed by ukrainian military personnel, in particular the azov battalion, and relatives of these military personnel, who call for the release of all prisoners, and in particular, her participation in this parade was dedicated precisely to draw attention to those ukrainians who are still in prisoners, there were also other activists who helped in this organization, i suggest you listen to them. i flew from california, from sacramento, and... to take part in the parade on the eve of america's independence day. i want to draw attention to the prisoners of war who still remain in captivity, to the people of azov, the defenders of our heroes, our titans. i brought 12 flags that are signed, i say, it gives me goosebumps, they are signed by wives, widows, wives who are waiting for their husbands to come home. this initiative was made on the initiative. peter morozov, he

was a prisoner of war in azovstal, he was in polonia for 7 months, he was in olenivka, and he valued it in order to return his brothers home, and we want to draw the attention of society to not be silent, to do everything possible to return our boys home. no matter how hard it is, no matter how sad it is , our representation is important if ukrainians do not go out, go to rallies, if we do not show our flags, if we do not show the flags of... the military, signed by the military , which we have today, they will simply forget about ukraine, and this is one such first big goal, and of course, the second reason is to thank, once again, to thank america for all the assistance provided and the hope that this assistance will continue , so today we will to shoot such a small video format with thanks from various big cities of america,

it is certainly important to katya, and others... the question is also, how in washington as a whole, after all, and in other cities and states, americans celebrate their independence day? it is worth reminding here that this is the day, this year, 2024, the united states of america celebrates its 248th birthday on july 4. in fact, it is believed that on this day the founding fathers proclaimed the declaration of independence from. of the united kingdom of great britain, but this proclamation independence was then only the beginning of the struggle for independence, because the united states of america, after declaring its independence from great britain, spent more than seven years at war to prove that independence, so to speak, to win back that independence, and in fact seven years later, as the united states of america, which we know today, then it was the 13 colonies of great

britain, regained its... independence , it was only after 7 years that they were able to actually declare their independence because then at first it was only a formal declaration and desire to separate from great britain. today, after several centuries of independence of the united states of america for americans, this celebration is primarily marked by a meeting with the family, holding a barbecue and generally spending time with the family. also, as we have already mentioned, an important part of this celebration is the parades that pass through the gorge. of the united states of america in different states and i will note that this day is also the independence day of the united states of america is a federal holiday and is a holiday in many states in the united states of america. katya, thank you for your report, katryna lisynova from the center of washington talked about how the usa celebrates independence day, how ukrainians join this holiday to remind americans of the importance of their support.
