should also be applied to the moscow patriarchate in ukraine because we see the same actions and we, as a ukrainian state, must use legal and effective means to protect ukrainian society from the influence of the russian federation and its various organizations and the same logic as at first as well as with regard to pro-russian parties, it adopts the decisions of the national security and defense council, making appropriate decisions and imposing sanctions , and then implementing the same law, which indeed yesterday we introduced clarifying changes regarding parties, but the same law. it also has its sphere of influence in the religious organizations of the church. it can also be applied to the moscow patriarchate in ukraine, because unfortunately, yesterday we saw that the synod of the moscow patriarchate in ukraine instead of to stand on the side of ukrainian society, instead of

condemning kirill and other followers of putin, he began to accuse ukraine of the fact that it is its own fault, and that russia attacked it, this is unacceptable, a project has been registered in the verkhovna rada of ukraine resolutions on applying to the national security council for the imposition of sanctions under ukrainian law are one of the mechanisms, and by the way, we consider it a more effective way than the adoption of a legislative ban on the uoc mp, because here it is not even a question of whether it is timely or not. the question is whether it is and the bill that was spoken about by the honorable verkhovna rada, it is simply in the form i like it will not work, they will say again that it is not not about them, that it is not not the russian church, and so on, but the instrument of sanctions is more accurate, more effective and therefore, we would just consider it expedient to ask the verkhovna rada to the national security and defense council to make a decision on sanctions and then actually apply the law that my colleague was talking about, already evaluating the actions of specific representations kyiv

, the church of the moscow patriarchate, mr. fedor, i would like us to let's dwell on the topic that was discussed with you last week when you were on my air, it is very important, in fact, let's remind you that during the previous meetings, the verkhovna rada of ukraine gave territorial defense the opportunity to carry out tasks in the areas of hostilities. and actually after that, the soldiers of different regions who got to the front line began to write in their blogs , uh, talk on the air about the fact that they were not actually prepared for the battles on the front lines, that is, they did not come to training. and immediately they got under grady under massive artillery shelling and here it is clear that this decision of the ukrainian parliament needed to be revised. politicians also talked about it.

first of all, this law has not yet become a law, that is, it is only a project that is currently under the signature of the president, he will sign it, he will enter into force , or literally just now, i left the meeting of the committee on national security and defense and intelligence, where we in closed mode deserved the minister of defense and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and just the septan also discussed, according to the information of the minister of defense, and more precisely, according to the information of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, all the units that are used in the conduct zone of combat operations on the front lines, before going there, they are currently undergoing training, undergoing appropriate coordination, and therefore it reminds the territorial defense of the military units of the territorial defense that can now be used with which they are part of the armed forces of ukraine, they perform the tasks determined by the military command despite the fact that they are corresponding to the training, respectively, the training is taking place. and as for the voluntary formation of

territorial communities, at the moment, that is the issue that we aimed to settle, since there are a lot of volunteers from the territorial communities of the volunteer formation, they are ready to defend the motherland themselves on the front line, they independently passed the relevant e-e coordination training, but there are legal grounds for them to be applied precisely in the area of ​​hostilities on today there is still no reason for this, this bill, this legislative initiative was aimed at well, that is if they themselves want. there are also other situations, we know what the well- known lviv journalist mykola savelyef writes about it, the editor-in-chief of the town hall publication writes that they were not prepared and asked whether they want to move to the front line or not. they were simply

sent away, and in fact, if they were there under uh-uh, under these hails, under artillery fire, and uh, it was not a matter of choice, that they themselves would somehow train there, and after that, they themselves showed a desire to go to the front line a variable of concepts we have military units of the territorial defense that are part of the armed forces in the service that were either mobilized or later as volunteers precisely in the e-e brigades of the territorial defense battalions that are part of the armed forces of ukraine and since they are military personnel, they perform the tasks that they are determined by the military command. and as for the volunteers of the formation of the territorial community, at the moment, no one forced them into the zone of hostilities, did not transfer them, and we cannot transfer them

that the draft law on the use of territorial defense fighters, in particular in the areas of hostilities, needs to be finalized and modified, in particular after today's meeting of the specialized committee at which you just attended, whether changes will be made to the draft law or whether it will be signed by the president in the same form as it was actually introduced in hall, we did not discuss this issue at the committee, have you now discussed the issue of signing the bill for the signature of the president, we will wait for the decision that the president will make, mr. rostislav, what a difficult comment, well, first of all, in even in the wording of the law on national resistance there is a clause stating that territorial defense fighters are subject to all the requirements of the statutes of the armed forces, this means that the necessary things for preparation have been arranged, etc. and it seems to me that all relevant cases

about what you say should be paid very close attention in order to draw all the necessary conclusions, to evaluate the facts and then accept the things that are so provided by military institutes, that is, we should listen to the military and act accordingly if necessary, the military will also consider whether it is necessary to make changes to the legislation. i think that here we will have unity in the parliament so that all the necessary changes will be made, thank you. well, there are also opposing opinions, for example, a fighter of the territorial defense of the armed forces of ukraine vasyl yavorskyi, who before the war worked as a director on the espresso tv channel he does not criticize the decision of the parliament, he says that he is satisfied with everything and is happy to defend the homeland, despite the fact that there is not always enough preparation and ammunition for the simplest things, but they say that in the conditions of war he personally i would like him not to be deprived of the opportunity to work on his native tv channel after the victory and calls for the restoration of espresso broadcasts on digital

networks. this week there was a meeting of the humanitarian committee, which was attended by employees of our tv channel and at which it was actually revealed that the rrt concern, which is subordinate to the state special communications and that, in turn, the government of ukraine arbitrarily disconnected the tv channel from the t2 network, that is, the employees of the concern say that they implemented the decision of the national security council, while the national security council, right at the same meeting of the committee, say that there are no such instructions on the increase of espresso were not accepted and it simply looks like bureaucratic arbitrariness, which for some reason the government does not stop, despite the fact that it harms not only democracy, but also defense, because our tv channel broadcasts programs of partner countries that supply ukraine with weapons, in particular, help us in defense, this britain bbc news ukraine and france france 24 and e america voice of america and radio liberty broadcast the programs on our tv channel, respectively. they also cannot have

full access to the ukrainian viewer right now, sir fedor, i have a question for you. how should we defend our democracy now? are you ready to show your own political leadership and to resolve this situation? i have heard this question many times from your colleagues . defense intelligence, unfortunately, is not the one that should respond to this situation, but of course i am convinced that it must comply with the law, it must comply unconditionally with the requirements of the law when solving any issue, if there is official arbitrariness, it should be severely punished. we have to defend our democracy and especially to be honest , well, so to speak, such an impressive

situation is impressive against the background of the latest decision of the cabinet of ministers to allocate uah 165 million for the russian-language freedom marathon, and the ministry of culture and of information policy directs to this russian-language marathon of the house, mr. rostislav, your opinion, well, my opinion is this. i absolutely agree with the journalists of your channel, the other democratic channels of the direct fifth, which, unfortunately , fell under this right here is not even a solution because everyone is baptized and when spoke about the decision of the committee well, in fact, all the officials, all the representatives of the authorities from below say that there is no such solution. there is no solution, then there is one. freedom must be stopped, that is, channels have be immediately included in the full broadcast, including this segment of t2, in which they are not available now, and those officials who allowed civilians in must be punished , and here it is just a matter of words to get to the point, because

if we are going to the european union, if we expect to be granted the status of a candidate, then we very clearly understand that the copenhagen criteria are yes or no , that is, the conditions on which countries are admitted to the european union, we foresee a working democracy there, and the president of the european union speaks to us and spoke before us, the prime minister great britain, who also spoke about the fact that it is a democracy that wins. thanks to its own democratic system, ukraine is now winning and will defeat dictatorial russia, so we have no right as a country to allow any waste and democratic standards, and freedom of speech is one of the most important democratic standards that is, it's just a matter of turning on the channels and punishing civil officials. thank you rostyslav pavlenko, the people's deputy of ukraine was in touch with us via skype and right now we already have the next guest of our broadcast

oleksandr musienko, director of the center for military and legal research, contact us via skype. greetings, mr. oleksandr. greetings. i am glad to see you. let's start by trying to analyze the blocking of the rapid approval of $40 billion in aid to ukraine, which some pro-russian politicians in the senate actually do. of the united states of america, we are talking about mr. rand polo, who under various guises is blocking this very decision. the appointment of a special federal supervisory body that will monitor the use of funds, oleksandr, what is your comment here, how should we perceive this news, and does this mean that during the period of the

pending decision on the allocation of funds, military aid will not be received in full, and the forest will not work. it is necessary to divide after all. there really is, er, lease-floor, there is another senator kennedy , yes, who also speaks about it and supports it, unfortunately, and there are such decisions, er, they usually go against our interests now of course they cover up the internal situation and these senators and the fact that they control the use of funds, in fact, i do not have any problems at all with such control over the use of funds, especially as far as i know in the united states, such control is provided constantly and all e- e members of congress they have access to control where the funds go, moreover, most of this money they stay in the united states because these funds finance the needs of

the purchase of american weapons for ukrainian needs, but these are weapons that are purchased from american corporations and go to the united states without cost. the other part is those that go to macroeconomic aid and to other programs , to programs of the state department, in particular, they are also controlled by the state department well, but less so . i think that i have hope that sometime in the next week this situation will be unblocked and the aid to ukraine will still be expanded, because it was initially a smaller amount, it was increased, which is good. regarding the receipt of further aid, it will be received because the first is the aid that is coming now and the aid that has already arrived and the aid that was financed under the previous trance by the us government as part of the previous aid, in addition to the fact that there is a certain amount left that is in the accounts that he talked about secretary of state blinking and minister

of defense austin, who is also fructified just in fact to finance aid to ukraine, well, and thirdly, what concerns landliza, as you know, landliza can be financed after the fact, that is, after delivery techniques, therefore, even theoretically. if an agreement is reached now already on the shipment of some weapons to ukraine, it can be later, er, its cost er, repaid either at the expense of those amounts that are still left, if this is enough, or at the expense of the amounts that will be allocated in the future, because in i have no doubt that they will be allocated because, despite senator paul's rent, the majority of the members of the senate, as well as the lower house of congress, the house of representatives of congressmen, support the allocation of aid to ukraine, as i want to remind according to sociological polls, more than 70% of american citizens also support an increase in military aid to ukraine, and in

addition, there are funds that are provided as part of the provision of assistance to partner countries of the european union and others. in germany, where 40 countries were present and they also agreed to finance, and literally today there was information about an additional 500 million euros allocated by the european union precisely for the purchase of weapons in ukraine and support for the e-defense sector because no matter what, but it will not affect er and will not matter in a negative sense well, i hope that this situation will simply not be prolonged, the weapons will be sent to ukraine by oleksandr well, here we see fresh statements from the kremlin er deputy chairman of the council security of the russian federation dmytro medvedev said that nato countries arming ukraine with weapons

increases the possibility of a transition to a full-fledged nuclear war and russia is again resorting to nuclear blackmail. the techniques of sending mercenaries to conduct exercises near the borders with russia increase the probability of a direct and open conflict between nato and russia, a conflict that has the risk of transitioning into a full-fledged nuclear war, medvedev noted that this would be a catastrophic scenario, according to him, how serious the threat is and how those threats from russia will be read in particular by the united states the states of america well, it's up to the russians to declare anything they want, they read the exact opposite, as far as russia begins to threaten and declare that they are hinting at nuclear weapons and so on, including their blackmail, threats and these horror stories, the west reacts in the opposite way by increasing aid to ukraine. i think that landlis is a clear testimony to this and it will

definitely put an end to any speculations, what speculations if the west can follow the lead of the united states here in russia, in addition you know that the united states and the secretary general of nato and president biden have repeatedly stated that they are not interested in directly engaging in a conflict between nato and russia or the united states and russia, and in the united states they are very, let's say, sensitive to all situations, they have legal advisers to both the ministry of defense and the state department, as well as the president , and in the defense and security sector, this is the strength of the service that gives advice on how to arrange, in particular, assistance and the provision of assistance and support in ukraine, so that there are no even hints that they are direct participants in the conflict with a party in the

war, they support ukraine and will support it, but they do not position themselves as a party to the conflict, and of course russia because of this they very often get angry because they do not have any legal confirmation of facts and arguments , because in order to accuse the usa or nato of fighting against russia, how would i advise russia to turn to its partners in the dcp, maybe belarus will provide them with some help, maybe armenia , maybe in the czech republic, someone. they don’t want these countries, why would they, except for belarus, which is there in the person of lukashenka, it seems that it is loyal to the end, but not to the end, to putin. nobody wants to particularly support, so i would say yes to the representatives. of the russian authorities well, you are not jealous, but try to start aggressive wars, don't turn the whole world against you, don't arrange genocide, and here are these companies, and maybe they would treat you differently and

so, uh, there is nothing left but blackmail, well, no one will react to this blackmail what is going to happen, thank you, mr. oleksandr, oleksandr musienko, the director of the center for military and legal research, was in touch with us via skype. great britain has introduced new sanctions against whom i will tell you now. in the meantime, i just wanted to slow down our rhythm, in which we have been moving for the last 50 minutes, and let's breathe a little. from the most popular entertainment music show of his country, which is called a masked singer with a ukrainian song, and the vice-speaker of

the estonian parliament dedicated this song to the defenders of ukraine who are fighting against russian aggression, let's let's listen, we love to go, my dear, dad, i'm going to winonka to protect our land, don't cry for me if i'm in the field, dino, i'll give everything for my beloved, i'm carrying ukraine, let's unite, brothers, a whole fucking dinner , the crow knows, we're for ukraine, we'll be noise, we'll give my miracle for bordering land, already happiness ukraine is not

na-na-na-nai -na well, i think that the frontman of the ukrainian band sablia vova geyser tensed up because the performance of the song "brothers of ukrainians" by hano pyvkur, the speaker of the estonian parliament, is in no way inferior to the performance of the guys from band saber well, what if honestly, i was especially pleased with the ukrainian language. almost without an accent in this song, we can see that in fact , world-class politicians, a sign of solidarity with ukraine, resort to such cool initiatives , in fact, and this inspires us, without a doubt. thank you to the estonian age of the speaker

. volodymyr dubovyk, director of the center for international studies and associate professor of the department of international relations, odessa national university named after mechnikov. greetings, mr. volodymyr. good afternoon. greetings. let's start fresh. news great britain introduced sanctions against the ex-wife of russian president vladimir putin, as well as his cousins ​​and alina kabaeva, who is considered the current wife of the russian leader, this is what we say in a statement on the website of the british government. in the west or to introduce them because they were afraid to anger putin, what is this sign in your opinion and how effective are such e steps of a collective measure, in particular e velika

britain regarding such sanctions, such a way of putting pressure on the top of the kremlin and directly to putin , i am asking well, i do not consider them very effective. i believe that these sanctions, which are directed or aimed at some individuals in the kremlin or around the kremlin, that they are hardly really effective and i brought out the sectors of the russian economy that work at xiaomi under sanctions, when it is his sector that remains outside the sanctions, when the big banks remain outside the sanctions, then there are some little things, such as introducing someone from the family sanctions are simple, well, not very serious. to be honest, this is all a symbolic step, because it really sends another signal to putin that he is trying to be isolated by his entourage. they are trying to cover it up. this is the only way to explain it. i think there may be some effect here. a dead end to the corner of the needle, but from the point of view of the effectiveness of the change and the policy of russia and

the behavior of russia, i do not think that it will be effective. well, nevertheless, it is a very important signal , especially since alina kabaeva is the head of the council of the directors of the national media group of russia, which is the largest private russian media company, so these are sanctions and the sign is the same with regard to the russian propaganda machine and the closest entourage of the russian president, first personal sanctions and then international courts seem to say with this step, our western friends well, here we see. by the way, the news is not very inspiring. for example, the fact that the eu is beginning to allow the postponement of the oil embargo due to the position of hungary, blumberg writes about this with reference to its sources in diplomatic circles they say that actually the sixth sanctions e-package can

hmm can already appear without these without this oil barge because at the moment it is not possible to convince hungary to support it in its current form, what is our e-e comment here and will hungary really succeed in blocking new sanctions against russia federations to support the aggressor state in this way. well, i think that so far it is possible. so far, no no no, no understanding has been found between brussels and budapest, even personally, the head of the european commission of the fundylian archives went to budapest and spoke with the hungarian leadership, but they didn’t hear it there , that is, they didn’t withdraw their objection, but barvy was against it, although barvy offered them, as well as other countries that suffer the most because of themselves, the czech republic, slovakia, it seems that they offered some preferential options for postponing this embargo for them, but they simply stated that they are simply against this embargo well, to be honest, this day had to come sometime because hungary often took a

particularly specific position and sooner or later they blocked in some kind of sanctions. so you see they are blocking the sixth package so far. and of course, you are without the expected supply of oil from russia, and this sixth package is simply empty, and again, it is better not to enter it, even if it is without oil. well, we see that the european union is still trying to influence to hungary, and er, hm, actually er, the country may be threatened , including financial sanctions, in the event that it consistently blocks er, er, it will block er policy and the political course held by the european alliance to hinder e hm actions the aggressor countries and eh to prevent this movement to the west eh this from northern northern

totalitarianism yes eh that is, here we can, we can consider that hungary itself needs to be careful in order to simply not fall out of the circle of civilized countries well maybe so, but the disease recently won the next parliamentary election by a large margin from other political forces, he is now very similar to the description, one can say that he is very inspired by this fact, and part of the hungarians support him. it is because you do not he submits to the dictates of the european commission that he constantly fights with european bureaucrats, that is why he feels that he has a mandate such support from the population of the electorate for such behavior, and that is why, unfortunately, he does not take such a position now. yes, i can , and there will still be such compromises found . i do not reject the possibility of such a thing, but for now, as you can see, we have reached a dead end. we will continue

to monitor this situation. we hope that in the european union they will be able to convince hungary. well, in the meantime, the deputy of the russian federation will suffer. at the un, dmytro polyanskyi said that russia is not only opposed to ukraine's accession to nato, but is also against ukraine's accession to the european union, as stated in an interview published on thursday with a british online publication, the propaganda agency ria novosti reports and russia itself parallels these threats, what will happen if ukraine takes a course towards european euro-atlantic integration and blackmails the world with nuclear weapons, what do you think about these new demands of the russians and their blackmail literally just a minute we have until the end of the broadcast. yes, well, first of all, i will say that this is nothing new, innovative

, revolutionary, there is no russia here. i have always been against our integration by western structures, be they european or euro-atlantic or nato, is that why here they are simply confirming their course, you can remember what the war felt like there was a revolutionary euromaidan before that, and it was connected with our attempt to get into the eu regarding nuclear threats, so there is nothing left in them, you see, the operation is not going according to their plan, that is, they decide that the only thing they can do now is simply threaten everyone with nuclear weapons, but even for many in the west, it no longer works. well, thank you, mr. volodymyr volodymyr dubovik, the director of the center for international studies was in touch with us via skype. i will add that ukraine itself expects to receive the status of a candidate for membership in the european commonwealth will be discussed already in june of this year based on the results of the meeting of eu leaders on june 23-24
