time and well, it seems to us that this is something so strange yes, i if you remove the military commissars, then everything else is completely normal for a country that degrades in the infrastructure sector more and more every year yes, it is that the logging is huge for china in russia, and their people are just making money without thinking about the consequences, and that is why there will be more and more of these fires every year in independence, not from ukraine, maybe that is why putin does not announce mobilization because knows what is its own population capable of, which shows one thing in sociological surveys under the threat of criminal liability introduced for condemning the actions of russia and its army, and yet another opinion is held in the kitchens and in the heads, according to some experts, it is capable the situation in the

country will change in a few days, we remember these revolutions, coups that happened in the history of russia, how bloody they were and how they ended for the leaders . plan he is afraid that even the defeat he can get from ukraine a-and it is easier to somehow turn it to his advantage, for example , between ukraine, and then the events there from a century ago may repeat themselves. thank you, mr. oleksiy. oleksiy holobutsky, a political technologist, was in touch with us via skype. we are continuing our informational marathon and in a moment after several important informational messages from the espresso tv channel, we will return to the live discussion, there will be guests in the studio, we will

thousands of works of ukrainian artists from the lviv museum russians purposefully destroy ukrainian culture as they did 100,200,300 years ago their goal is to take away our historical memory and national identity, the culture of the aggressor country will not be present on the international arena, since the beginning of the war, almost 200 war crimes by russian troops against cultural heritage of ukraine. join the cultural resistance. we are continuing our informational telethon in a moment. people's deputy of ukraine oleg synyutka will be in touch with us. the editors tell me what is already in touch with us. you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes let's start by briefly summarizing the week in

the parliament and actually the most inspiring news was the liquidation of the opzzh faction in the verkhovna rada, let me remind you that this faction has officially ceased to exist and the dissolution of the faction was announced in the parliament earlier, people's deputies began to withdraw from the national assembly, 25 of them created their own parliamentary group on the basis of the national assembly and called themselves the platform for life and peace, oleg. well, in your opinion , what's next from deputies of this political force , and what is your view on the activities of pro-russian political forces in ukraine after the victory, it seems to me that this is a council, that such a symbolic step, because in my opinion, the opz ceased to exist in ukraine on february 24, when the muscovites began a full-scale a new stage of aggression against ukraine. we all

understand very well that it was precisely in the 5th moscow column that the moscow column was preparing this new stage of invasion in ukraine, and that is why the fact that the disbandment of the ukrainian armed forces actually took place is a purely symphonic act, and the completion of this symbolic act should not even be dissolution not even depriving the deputies of this political force who cooperated with the aggressor by mandate of the powers of the deputies . and the finish of this should be responsibility according to the current legislation in ukraine, the law on collaboration is in force and those who cooperated and are cooperating with the enemy, those who were preparing a new stage of the enemy's arrival on our land must answer according to this law.

ran during the election campaign in 2019 during the rallies of the european solidarity leader petro poroshenko and thus tried to discredit and prevent poroshenko from conveying his opinion and convictions to the voters, but you see , time puts everything in its place and i am convinced just like the opzzh, just like the people of shereniv, and all this evil will answer to the law, but in truth i do not think that this is the key moment. last week in the parliament hall, i am convinced that the key point of the last session week was the protection of local self-government, i don't know who came up with it prepare a bill to deprive the deputies of local councils, regional councils, district councils, to deprive them of their powers and we are right for two weeks, european solidarity and

other political forces fought for the powers of local self-government, because it is clear that if today part of the territory of one or another region is occupied, if the regional center is surrounded or controlled by the occupier, then it is clear that appropriate decisions need to be made there, but why suspend the deputies of local councils in chernivtsi on volyn or vinnytsia from the exercise of their powers, it was not clear to anyone and in general, a very heated discussion was held, it was very frank conversation well, because no one wants ukraine to win, which in its essence will resemble putin's russia, a democratic ukraine must win, do you remember prime minister johnson, who addressed the ukrainian parliament that democracy will always defeat dictatorship and last week in the world hall, it was democracy that defeated dictatorship and we preserved the unity of the country we preserved the

unity of local self-government and we preserved the possibility of deputies of local councils to join our joint victory to control spending funds and to be the people's eyes and ears from any attempt to establish a dictatorship in ukraine says what about the victory of democracy. there is still time to return the espresso tv channel to the digital air, yes, and also direct and the fifth , and here we are waiting to the efforts of the ukrainian authorities and increased attention to this issue. is this a mistake or bureaucratic arbitrariness? we hope that this situation will be resolved in the near future, because this week there was actually a meeting of the specialized humanitarian committee in the parliament and well, to be honest the situation there resembled some kind of fictional works of art because no one is

responsible for anything. it is unclear who gave the relevant instruction and on the basis of which certain officials made such a decision when the nsdc at the same committee meeting clearly stated that such instructions were not given by their their order did not contain such recommendations. well, this is the situation, that is, here too sooner or later, but it will be clear who that person in ukraine is, on the one hand , who opens the door to all those who were yesterday still a slanderer of moscow interests in ukraine and gives them broadcasts gives them the opportunity to control the information space, and on the other hand, from third-party pro-ukrainian state channels, i think that, first of all , justice will prevail, because if someone thinks that he will build a dictatorship in ukraine, then he is very mistaken . is a

democratic nation, and therefore i am convinced that this story will definitely find its conclusion. i just want the ukrainian channels to return to t2 and their broadcasting as soon as possible. and this broadcasting of unity, this is ukrainian broadcasting. victories were available to everyone in every ukrainian. you know, there is another story that is very important when last week the russian orthodox church in ukraine at its synod. the actual statement of the synod of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, it is of course shocking and has stirred up ukrainian society, refers to the fact that the actual synod of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate stated that previous president petro poroshenko regarding the acquisition of a tomos and the establishment of a single orthodox

church of ukraine became the reason for the invasion of russia in 2022, that is, church independence and the fifth president of ukraine are to blame. do, you know , this is a moment of truth for every believer, for every parishioner, in the end, for every christian, which side are you on, because before this decision, many could say yes, no, this is the ukrainian orthodox church no maybe they will fight for the ukrainian state maybe they will unite all the masks have been thrown off and the church, which according to the law should be called no other than the russian orthodox church in ukraine, said out loud what many of its moscow priests said and did, forgive me what i will say

frankly yes because they actually have fsb epaulettes under their church robes and today, first of all, this church must be called as it is, in essence, the russian church in ukraine, and secondly, in the end, this step must be made very clearly and responsible for announcing sanctions against kyril gundyaev as the person who organized this moscow sect in ukraine, and the third thing that needs to be done is to give the opportunity to each community to determine itself, and i am very sorry that some of the ukrainian parliamentarians say that this issue is not timely, very, very timely because today it should be said that the draft law on the banning of the russian church in ukraine was introduced in the parliament at the wrong time. well, not everyone believes that the church of the moscow patriarchate was banned in konotop and brovary. and the same restriction will be considered in the ternopil

region, and in the ivano-frankivsk region, the president and the speaker of the verkhovna rada are being asked directly to ban the activities of the church of the moscow patriarchate throughout the country, and i am convinced that this moment of truth has arrived today, and every community, every christian community must now very clearly define itself and ask his priest in that where he is, who he is with and what should be the future fate, today more than ever is the time to turn to the ukrainians, to the ukrainian communities, to return. once i want to say return to the land of the true canonical orthodox church of ukraine and i am convinced that this process that has begun must be completed now, we still have very little time, but i still want to ask you because it is important we remember that last week the verkhovna rada gave the armed forces

the opportunity to carry out tasks in the areas of hostilities and this law provides that trom can be involved in the tasks, including on the front lines, that is, where the hostilities are directly i know that in 2000, in 2018, when large-scale territorial defense exercises were launched in lviv oblast, you were then the head of the lviv regional state administration and participated in these command and staff exercises. we are talking about the 103rd separate brigade of territorial defense forces of the armed forces of ukraine, which is stationed in lviv oblast. these are your soldiers from the 103rd brigade, with whom i am sure you keep in touch. they are talking about this situation with the use of soldiers on the front lines. in blogs and posts, whole materials on this topic are already appearing in the media, but the fighters say that they did not

come with proper training, we risk losing the flowers of the nation here, and this is extremely worrying, you know, it is very encouraging to hear that this is the position of all the fighters of the territorial defense. none of them refuse to defend the ukrainian state with weapons in hand, the only thing they are asking for is more training, more weapons and more opportunities to prepare for this defense today because we asked this question in such a very frank conversation leaders of factions with representatives of the ministry of defense. i am convinced that this conversation should also take place in the format of the minister of defense and a representative of the general staff, probably the commander of the armed forces of ukraine. because none of these people want to run away from the battlefield to avoid the

possibility of confronting the enemy today, these people need more training more coherence or weapons and the purity of the command and i am convinced that this is precisely what they did not have time to do, but they did not finish it until this moment. i am convinced that the government will definitely draw conclusions from these conversations, because of the devil of territorial defense - these are very motivated people, their families are extremely worried about this situation that has developed today at the front and the fact that we and we are also very worried and still hope for the wisdom of the considered decision of the ukrainian authorities. the draft law is now being signed by the president . we are waiting for certain corrections to be made to it so that our fighters have the opportunity to at least a small but very massive and very intense

training before going in the first european league, what was lost this time in 19-20 of the first year, we had to continue what you talked about when in the 18th year we took people to training grounds, we transferred them to barracks, we gave them the opportunity to learn and prepare a little during this time lost, there are no other options to make up for it, because we must protect the life of every ukrainian. moreover, we must protect the life of every ukrainian soldier. it is extremely difficult , but it is a very responsible task, and all representatives of the authorities must understand and know that we that's why we differ from muscovy that they drive their soldiers to kill their citizens, we fight in a completely different way, the life of every ukrainian soldier is of great value thank you oleg senyutka people's deputy of ukraine was with us on

skype thank you mr. oleg and directly now we already have the next inclusion boris zakharov, human rights activist , director of the charity man and the law and humanitarian studio wave kharkiv human rights group, we are talking a lot about human rights right now, because russia is carrying out acts we see genocide and terrible crimes against ukrainians, mr. boris, every week we talk about it with you and we will talk about it until the end of the war until our victory. long-term use, the war criminal of russia will not be punished, will not suffer the well-deserved punishment, will not end up on the dock, so we will not stop talking about it and appeal to the world to start these processes as soon as possible

we are talking about international courts, here we see a number of decisions favorable to us, including this week, because actually the human rights council. that is how the un human rights council voted to start such an investigation into the crimes of russian troops in the liberated territories, only china voted against and eritrea and for thirty countries. here are the prospects of international courts, and what is the decision changing? because before we remember, the couple passed the relevant resolution, now the un human rights council has all the existing ones in the world institutions to adopt the relevant resolutions and resolutions so that the investigation begins and the bringing of russian war criminals to justice becomes possible, first of all, the investigation is already underway, that is, the investigation has already begun, it is not only about the investigation into the

creation of an international tribunal. against the fact that he is a member of the security council and, accordingly, if a separate international tribunal creates exactly a series of madness and therefore he can interfere, so to speak create a separate international tribunal to investigate and punish crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of genocide committed by russia during its aggression in ukraine . regarding nuclear weapons because it is very important for them that china stays away and does not take any such e steps e-e well,

if russia, god forbid, uses some non- conventional heavy weapons, they use this for conventional weapons such as cluster a-a bombs are enough projectiles and phosphorus vacuum bombs, but if they use, for example, heavy chemical weapons or tactically nuclear weapons, then the whole world, and china in particular, will turn away from them, and then the issue of their persecution around the world and the destruction of putin's regime in general, in any case the method will simply immediately come to the fore all over the world and no one will help them anymore, therefore such things also have a deterrent effect on the investigation of crimes, so they are already being conducted. and i would say that our national legislation is not quite ready for this well, actually, what about the rome statute with the law

on war criminals, what steps should be taken here and what prevents us from adopting these laws at all, here we need to understand ah international level and national level national level we must harmonize our criminal legislation in accordance with the norms international humanitarian law, international criminal law, in general, we do not have any responsibility for a bunch of crimes that are war crimes, and only one article of the criminal code, 438 e, says in general, it is about violating the rules of the customs of war, and that is why we need to introduce articles into our criminal code, and this has already been done, and the project has already been adopted, but it has not yet been signed by the

president, and no, it has no effect. the first, the second, is the ratification of the roman of the statute what is generally included in the duties of ukraine, but many of us oppose the rectification of the rome statute because during the war, in the opinion of many politicians, this is what motivates the ukrainian military, who may also commit some crimes. and for this, the state must either punish them or effectively investigate and punish them or extradite it to the international criminal court, the international criminal court of paradise, that's why there are many opinions that, well, there are many politicians and lawyers who are against the ratification of the rome statute, now there are

actually two ways, one is international, the other is national, and in fact, we should move both ways, but at least our criminal bring the code into compliance with the norms of international humanitarian law, it is necessary. we are already being investigated under the wrong articles, the wrong articles are being qualified for people who have committed serious crimes war crimes, in particular, mass murders, rape, rape of children, and so on, and they are tried either under the article next to violation of the customs of war or under separate articles of an ordinary nature, if they committed it simply for a

peaceful life in ukraine. to move forward quickly, and ukrainian human rights defenders somehow appeal to the ukrainian bishop, part of which is constantly discussing this matter and what is the good news, that is, i would like us to make some kind of progress, because we know every week we can talk about it on the air, but there must still be a systematic approach. i would really like it to happen, so that these parliamentarians and these lawyers in the government who work on these issues, and first of all, the president, whose signatures there is a law on war criminals, of course, there are many, many supporters of the human rights approach, uh, this law must be adopted, changes must be made, and i don’t know why it is not being done .

ratification of the rome statute. there may be different opinions about the germanization of ukrainian legislation in accordance with the norms of international humanitarian law. it is clearly necessary to introduce articles into the criminal code that will provide for serious punishment for the corresponding crimes. thank you, mr. boris, we will have this discussion . conversation with you and continue to introduce and discuss the actions of the world and the actions of the ukrainian authorities in the direction of bringing russia and its individual military personnel to justice. i apologize to the criminals for these acts of genocide and crimes against the civilian population, against our cities, against our security, which they carry out in ukraine, boris zakharov, human rights defender, director of the charitable fund of man and law, the kharkiv human rights group was in touch with

us, and right now we already have the next guest of our broadcast, yevhen mach, and the director of the institute of world politics from we are in contact via skype. congratulations, yevgeny , the word to ukraine. congratulations, mrs. maria . glory to the heroes. well, let me even. to be honest, i don't know where to start with you, because we have a huge number of topics. i planned with you let's talk in detail about the sanctions well, let's just get to the sanctions, and first let's talk a little about the latest statements from the russian federation, they are actually the most important ones, the first is a call for the denazification of poland immediately after ukraine, this is actually a very interesting and significant statement of aggressive actions against poland nobody called. and the head of the state duma committee on control, oleg morozov

, says in his personal telegram channel that he is talking about russia as a cancer tumor and the contribution that we must pay to ukraine, that is, about reparations in fact, poland encourages us to put it first in the queue for denazification after ukraine, so what do you think about these statements and about these threats to nato countries, in particular in our neighboring poland, how are these statements generally perceived in the west now and how they are heard and read in nato. i think it is appropriate to mention the well-known russian saying, talkative bags grow ice cream, that is, these statements are a logical reaction to the fact that poland has become one of the leaders in terms of military aid to ukraine, so that poland received two and a half million
