by seven o'clock in the evening, i managed to prepare a digest of these messages, which were promptly sent to the ministry of foreign affairs. how ukraine, the former breadbasket of the russian empire and the whole of europe, was transformed in the eyes of international observers into a basket case, that is, into a disabled person into a loser into a poor victim and therefore invested money not in the most expensive hundred-meter yachts as it happened with ukrainian or russian oligarchs or the most expensive apartments in the world in london and invested in the modernization of the enterprise and in high-quality and effective management i sincerely welcome you ladies and gentlemen with you again dmytro

chalkin and our weekly infotainment program the soundtrack will traditionally begin with quotes from our old friend king solomon kayaklesiast - these are the first lines of my favorite chapter eight of the parable of the solomons, which are very consonant with my feelings for the past three years hello hohmatics to utivate with those circles berosh myronima lantern beat not those vordenitsava doesn’t wisdom call you people doesn’t reason raise its voice and on the top of the hills by the road and at crossroads and around the gate at the entrance to the city and around every door calls out loudly, but hemy shimika, you are not the color of adam, but he is an upha and an orma in the village, but a war, the lion, this is you, the people are calling to all the sons of men, my voice is about simple-minded prudence , learn and you foolish minds , gather wisdom and understanding in the opinion of ecclesiastes should be

the main heralds heralds heroes who in ancient times announced in the central squares near the gate on the way to the city the most important the most important appeals and instructions today about the planes of the lashaters speak mass media responsibility social networks you you know, i am extremely pleased that today it is difficult to understand, it is difficult to correctly assess the fact that ukraine has been in the center of attention of the entire world public for the third time in the last 17 years, first of all, the media, you turn on any global television channel and you see at the beginning of the news the information coming from ukraine. it was so during the orange revolution, so it was during the revolution of dignity, and so it is today during our fierce confrontation with the

most treacherous enemy of humanity in putin's russia. i often remember how at the beginning of our independence, ukraine was mostly on the periphery of the attention of the world public, there were even such curious cases, the first visit of our then president leonid kuchma to the countries of the persian gulf and during a meeting with the head of the arab emirates , it seems to me, the translators faced a problem. time returns to the same topic. he says that we will gladly consider your proposals for cooperation, but you know that we are very concerned about the fact that the ukrainian armed forces are participating in military operations on the territory of bosnia and herzegovina, where a lot of our brothers are killed, the only faithful muslims, members of the ukrainian delegation look at each other with surprise, someone heard something about some armed units of ukrainians on the territory of bosnia and

herzegovina, and later, at the end of the negotiations, it turns out that our arab visa officer confused the country of 50 million in ukraine at that time with the small , unrecognized republic of serbia at that time , which was located between croatia and serbia, and the militants of the serbian territory really took part in military confrontation on the side of one of the parties that were fighting for power in bosnia. this year's games of this part of the former yugoslavia. but at the same time when the then president leonid kuchma was conducting negotiations in the persian gulf. i worked as a ukrainian consul in israel as the first secretary of the embassy and i had a unique opportunity to use the services of the then newly created agency, which very promptly provided an overview of all the leading world press, which was printed

in various languages ​​for current events related to at three o'clock in the afternoon, a motorcyclist arrived in ukraine and gave us a huge envelope containing dozens of photocopies of publications by the world's leading press on ukrainian topics , and after the consular reception was over , i managed to prepare a digest of these messages by seven o'clock in the evening. which were quickly sent to the ministry of foreign affairs. and perhaps thanks to this, our work was also evaluated there by the future head of the ukrainian delegation to the un, the then chief the information department of the ministry of foreign affairs offered me to take up his position after the end of my business trip , but the knowledge that i gained from a very thorough analysis of the ukrainians on the pages of the

world press prompted me to take other actions. i was confused by the headlines that appeared in the columns . -th world street journal or finanshall times where two phraseological units were combined expressions breadbasketing basket case i.e. how ukraine the former breadbasket granary of the russian empire and the whole of europe was transformed in the eyes of international observers into a basket case, that is, into a disabled person into a loser into a poor victim of the union of the former e-e communist party elite and the newly formed class of representatives of savage capitalism, many foreign observers were in despair because before their eyes the potentially extremely promising opportunities of this country, a state that has 75% of its territory european chernozem

had the opportunity to really become, as it was during the time of tsarist russia, the breadbasket of the whole of europe. in addition, in the 1980s, ukrainian industrial facilities, primarily metallurgical enterprises, acquired of great development, projects were implemented that enabled these enterprises to be competitive on the world market for several more decades, and they were attractive objects for privatization of large international corporations, as it eventually happened in neighboring poland, hungary, the czech republic, or slovakia, a similar thing happened thanks to the gradual privatization by attracting foreign capital and agricultural land in these countries, and in the end already at the end of the 90s, per citizen, these countries received investments no a sometimes there are 200 times more than citizens of ukraine

and international corporations that own large industrial facilities in these countries, the absolute majority of which are joint-stock companies that do not care about buying their owner another palace on the emerald coast, as in the case of akhmetov, or a whole block in the most expensive area of ​​london, as for pinchuk or kolomoiskyi with bogolyubov, they make sure that the value of their shares increases every year and therefore invest money not in the most expensive hundred-meter yachts, as happened with ukrainian or russian oligarchs or the most expensive apartments in the world in london invested in the modernization of the company and in high-quality, effective management. my mental trauma at that time was also complicated by the fact that i, as a ukrainian diplomat, had to justify this classic definition that diplomacy is an honest person who is

sent to lie in in the interests of his state, i had to describe unique investment opportunities, a unique investment climate, and then i often mentioned this during my radio projects in the image of one of my radio characters dear foreign investors, invest your money in the ukrainian economy, where did yours not disappear like that, those are the potential investors whom i tried to attract with my numerous interviews on israeli television, when they returned to ukraine, they then searched for me to fill me with a spade for those completely inadequate promises that i had to make as a ukrainian diplomat, therefore, after returning to ukraine from israel, i saw my main mission as reporting exactly the truth about what is happening in our country in the educational activities and eventually became the president of two care companies, which, unfortunately, the kuchmocracy of that time destroyed, among other things, i was the first to put

the kuchmocracy into circulation in this term, even less than the parliamentary saying kuchma shit crumb synkatsu came and asked crumb if kuchma хорошо что такое плохо i remember which i was cursed, then i received from the defenders of this regime, as i do now, by the way, i often receive such curses and blasphemy in comments and messages on my personal social networks, but as it is said in my beloved of the arab poet and attack of medena tymin, the order of paghia, the neck of a beautiful camel, sometimes a robe, curses from a scoundrel - this is the best compliment, so when the then kuchmocracy destroyed the most powerful media holding at that time, whose leaders were kyiv information myself became the object of these persecutions, i then created a committee for the protection of freedom of speech, which i had

three deputies, three oleksandrs, oleksandr turchynov, the olympic champion oleksandr volkov, and one of the leaders of the people's movement , oleksandra lavrynovych, unfortunately, the last two oleksandrs, they eventually betrayed our principles at the time and went over to the side of our enemies at the time , but what can you do? such a life, as they say, in defense of the then founders of e-e corporations arrested on the order of kuchma. kyiv information, i launched two small artistic protests, one of them in the laboratory lane, several stood even weeks, and the one that i turned around with my assistant and my driver in front of the central entrance of the verkhovna rada stood still for 45 minutes after that we were detained by me for violating public order

last week, some people here also planned some measures to restrict my freedom, but they did not turn out as expected, well, this is a separate topic for a separate issue of the savchenko program, and the most terrible thing is the version of savage capitalism that we inherited from the kuchmocracy in that that the owners of major industrial facilities or minority shareholders in large state-owned enterprises are the same ukrainian oligarchs that we have become. they are also the owners of the main e-e ukrainian mass media and the main tv channels educational activities. they are not interested in moving in the direction of the already civilized nations of the baltic countries or the same poland or the czech republic or slovakia. they are interested in having the cheapest

labor force in europe in the future, which gives them the opportunity even on to the base of today's obsolete industrial enterprises, surplus profits will be used to buy new yachts and palaces, and the main danger for ukrainian society today is not so much from its destructive effect on the economy of our state, how much for the destructive effect on the consciousness of our citizens, in the end, for the very existence of our state in its generally unrecognized borders, today the entire television broadcast in ukraine has been monopolized by the same e-e tv channels of kolomoisky pinchuk and akhmetov, who 3 years ago convinced us that it was enough to simply stop and shoot in order to stop the war with the most insidious and cruelest enemy of humanity, the same tv channels that for years poured a ton of dirt on the minsk agreements and spread terrible lies

on the supreme commander-in-chief of the country during the military confrontation with putin's russia, he left imagine for a minute what would have happened in the 15th year if we and poroshenko didn't stop putin with the minsk agreements, if the same horde of a thousand tanks with half a thousand planes and hundreds of thousands of shells and bombs with a quarter of a million e-e armed soldiers would have gone on the offensive against ukraine at that time, which had neither brought nor led an army nor normal police allies, we then had not a small enclave measuring 7% of the total territory of ukraine which was captured by putin, but we would really have at least nine of these regions of novorossiya, for the capture of which the russian derma gave official consent at the time, and thanks to this one piece of paper, we had eight years of relative respite, during which they created one of the

most powerful armies in the world today, which stopped orks, but the neglect of the warnings of our western partners about the imminent attack of putin's russia has led, unfortunately, to huge losses and terrible sacrifices, which both the ukrainian military and the civilian population bear today, as they did 100 years ago the majority of the ukrainian population believed these populist slogans about peace for the people, the land for the christians, the sea, the factory sailor, and in the end, just like 100 years ago, today there is a bloody harvest . then, 10 years later, those who believed in these red populists ate their own children, just like today it is not difficult to realize this, but many of those who believed this reassuring message about barbecues on the ninth of may and about a neighbor who should come to you with vodka and jelly, unfortunately they bury

their children on uh, many occupied lands today by the russian horde and today by those who even three years ago mocked the slogan of the army, the language of faith , those who took off their pants on the stages of russian concern halls, and those who knelt before putin and he asked him to beg him to gather him from this unfortunate ukraine today everyone is dressed in patriotic clothes and sings patriotic hymns at this single oligarchic marathon. those who compiled lists of ukrainian patriots, for which the orcs later searched for and shot people in irpen and buchi, have not been punished and no action has been taken against them. those who in their new year's appeals who did not write to moskovskii , again, political technologists, uh, claimed that it doesn't matter what the name of the street is or who

the monument is, the main thing is that this street should be beautifully paved and lit, which argued that the war continues only because it is beneficial to poroshenko, that you just need to look putin in the eyes and stop the war in your head, which is not the case in three years of confrontation with the most aggressive enemy, having with him 3,000 e of a common border with taking into account the territory of belarus, they did not spend a single penny on any bulletproof vest or fairy tale, who lost 10 times more on asphalt on the same bitumen that they had in belarus 10 times more than on arming their army, these people did not repent in a single word for their collaborationism for treasonous subversive activities in relation to his state in the materials of the western press that he analyzed in the mid-90s. it was about the fact that the main problem of our state is the quality of its elite, that the new ukrainian government is new

the ukrainian bourgeoisie is not interested in giving way to real patriots, they are destroyed either physically, like chornovol, or morally, like poroshenko himself, and how unfortunate that the speakers of today's ukrainian government are people with a rather dubious past, who for years were assistants to deputies of the verkhovna rada councils with a criminal past such as yarmak, and the same podolyak, but gentlemen. as the most authoritative character of the last century, mr. winston churchill, told us, we cannot afford such a luxury as pessimism and another well-known english conclusion, and this is always darkless for a down, the darkest times are always before the dawn, so let's keep our smiles wider, gentlemen, let's keep the streaks and the gunpowder dry to new ones, i hope for

interesting meetings on the air, we are returning to the live air my name is andriy saichuk, well dmytro chekalkin, actually this is yes, this is super powerful because i’m watching. it’s just that we already have 11.5 thousand viewers on youtube, and of course it’s much more on television. thank you very much to everyone who watches us. well , dear friends, they are already preparing in russia. to celebrate may 9, the ninth of may, they have already put up such interesting posters there, we can show them, we can now show you the original posters and they are preparing to celebrate may 9, they obviously want something by may 9 to get some

gains on the battlefield and somehow tie it all to their in the 45th year, something is difficult for us with this and this postcard is good less with that let's move on then uh, we are in touch already yes, we are in touch p olesya echo political science and p olesya good evening actually wanted to start the evening with the fact that in russia, they are preparing a parade for may 9, and there are parallels in those posters that i couldn't really show since 1945, but we can show them now. let's finally bring it out so that mrs. olesya can also look at it and the people, or the same, so that's it . yes thank you well, in word 9 pobeda has the 45th - 22nd

year and in it some unknown monument to an unknown russian baltivnik i understand a very happy marauder well, it's probably one and two in one, well, actually, mrs. olesya, what do you think parallels can be drawn about this 45th - 22nd parallel 45th, but not in the context that then there were winners and now the winners, but in the context that now we are dealing with the continuation of aggression and not with the winners, it is known that at this celebration, if it can be called a celebration, yes, there will be an immortal point where the relatives of those who died in the war in ukraine will also go. when the russian authorities sent citizens of russia to fight. you know, it is such a paradox that this whole action began when the

grandchildren carried these signs with their grandfathers. and now the grandfathers will carry the signs with their grandchildren. yes and well, in principle well, this whole date was once really, well, it was very important to the statist myth of the russian federation. well, maybe there is a memory of a priest, what can you say, but now it all came down to, well, you know, to a mental hospital , well, in fact, yes what does it all look like, what does this whole absurdity look like before and before the full-scale invasion of ukraine by the 22nd year, we saw what it was all about er veterans and after the 22nd year yes it just took on a completely different context. when it became absolutely obvious that those who

were once the winners are now the continuation of the aggressive actions. first, russia privatized the victory in the war because all these years it looked like russia alone was the winner in that war. there were no other countries and even inside the soviet union as allies. it looked as if ukraine was somewhere on the side, belarus was on the sidelines, and only russia itself was defeating the fascists, belarusians, ukrainians and poles the poles seem to have lost more than anyone else. during this war, they first privatized this war and won this war, and then they simply wanted a new war and turned into a new aggressor. that's why it all looks like it. well, it seems to me that no one was able to make sense of this date like the russian federation itself, which very often liked to blame someone 's stories are rewritten by rewriting themselves, but no one would have thought of this date as the russian

federation itself, we would have had a long conversation with anton shranochich, who himself, by the way, from the first days in in the armed forces of ukraine is a person who proves by his work that he is a patriot of ukraine, but we have different visions, for example, i did not receive a direct answer from him on what to do from may 9, or are we still trying to apply with russia for a common inheritance and for that that we, our ancestors, also fought and this is our victory, or should we just get rid of may 9th, as they say now, kenl for kenselts and just take may 8 and do it together with our allies from europe? well, i am convinced that this is the case not in the eighth and in the ninth though ukraine i agree, especially after all these events

that we see such an absurdity, the date of may 9 has been proved by the russian federation, the russian authorities, of course, i think that may 9 is by itself well, in general , it may disappear as such a date over time, but it is important to understand uh, may 8 if we we celebrate may 8, we must not forget that ukraine , together with other countries, including the post-soviet countries of the former soviet union, did a lot to defeat the nazis, and ukraine lost a lot of citizens . we suffered losses then. we did a lot and we should not forget it and we should never forget it. you know who it is. how does it show russia that it was they who fought and them, but how to remember this date? well, of course, ukraine traditionally remembers this date on may 8 as the whole world is doing this because there has never been such a thing before, you know, a war that

took so many lives back then. so that the war was the subject of some kind of celebration and cheerfulness, and there were salutes, and so on. and even in the soviet union itself, there were many who is about it repeatedly said that this date had not been celebrated for quite a long time and in general it was just a working day because sitting on it to make a parade and celebration, well, it looked strange from each other from the two stones , it came to mind and that's what from this postcard i see that there is a desire after all, well, that is, a real desire to announce a certain victory on may 9, but i'm just trying to understand what will happen if, well, on may 9, there will literally be nothing to announce as a great victory, and for example, in may, some 15 th dash of the 20th will be very noticeable defeat, what will happen next with putin, eh, as the russian

people, so that it does not mean that everything will eventually accept how much frustration they, in principle , also forgive, in fact, how to present it for the russian federation, there is no big problem, we see that very often this dead woman in military uniform, konoshenko, he comes out, he recently told that they allegedly shot down nato planes and russian ones there, calling 10 or 15 of these planes, well, that is, they carry something, some kind of illusion. there will be no victory. and if russia wanted a war, it can get a second, third, and fourth front, and it is not necessary that it will be a front on the territory of ukraine . certain cells that exist on the territory of the russian federation itself. but i think that on may 9 we will see the apogee of this

absurdity. and i do not rule out that we will hear that the whole world is nazis, and russia is forced to fight against them, that is we we can hear some other kind of nonsense in the style of a war of a metaphysical war, as it used to be said in the russian federation, we can see all these letters and all this absurdity inside the country, but of course give something as a victory. well, i don't see that russia could have given something for victory, time still works in favor of ukraine, despite the fact that we are suffering losses, but we see that in ukraine they are providing more and more military aid, russia is not uh, no, it does not get the result it is counting on, the sanctions are working and we just can to see may 9 from the point of view of russia's domestic

politics and the situation of russia. well, that absurdity is the peak of the absurdity that has been until now, but this may 9 will probably be especially absurd. already iryna, the prosecutor general, said that more than 9,000 of the rights registered war crimes crimes in russia er in the russian occupation army on the territory of ukraine of course bucha is also irpin and the kyiv region and this is despite the fact that we have not yet returned all the territories. when they will be returned, then they we will obviously learn about a lot of crimes. and in your opinion, isn't it a waste to record those crimes? well, we, well, that is, will they or they ever actually be brought to justice ? these are the people who committed, for example, the rapes in the kyiv

region, these are massive. of course, this is not a useless thing for us. of course, i would like the responsibility to be borne by the main initiator of this war and these crimes and the one who sent these people to commit crimes in ukraine but of course it is necessary to record all this and all of this must be submitted to the courts and all these people must be held accountable and i think that of course it is much more difficult to bring the elite to responsibility, but the more there are proven precedents of that what crimes were committed on the territory of ukraine by the russian federation, the more it will be even greater.
