germany's parties are navel after the transfer of the weapon that was the mother-in-law. this also changes the math, so it's difficult to say, but and uh, and everyone is equal, who every day slows down, that is , every day that uh, the war, the operation sits still, increases now ukraine will be able to regain not only what was lost after february 24, but even often what was permanently in 2014 to hold the eurovision song contest in ukrainian yalta, mariupol or kherson after the victory of the kalush orchestra at eurovision , social media users, political producers and even president volodymyr zelenskyi began to express his ideas about where exactly ukraine will be able to host the song contest for the third time. by the way, i will remind you that on may 14, the kalush orchestra group won the eurovision final with the song

stefania . he called on the ukrainian military to save mariupol, which is blocked on the territory of the azovstal plant. the spectators of the contest even assumed that the band could be disqualified for this, but the eurovision organizers appreciated the statement the soloist about mariupol as humanitarian and not political well, finally, i will add the band kalush to the culprit of 2019 , it is named after kalush, a small town in the ivano-frankivsk region, where oleg psyuk, the frontman of the band, is from. radio svoboda asked the residents of kalush what they think about kalush's victory here at night woke up, started scrolling through the tape , saw that they were writing colosana, hooray, and everything, and i understood already fell asleep peacefully, uh, i don't know, very, very great joy. yesterday, there was a huge celebration right here on the square. huge joy really united the community. i i think the ukrainians rallied the world early, the board said that ours was the first place and we deserve that. well, spectators from different countries, that's it. i was just, well, very impressed

, very satisfied, especially since i know oleg's father very well, and they won hard. well, kalushans, that 's it. plus the fact that they even learn that there is such a city in ukraine, not only our heroes are there, mariupol, kharkiv, donetsk. and there is such a city as kalush, small, provincial, maybe, but with great culture, their songs were performed in kalush, the concert was great, i like their music what do you think in which ukrainian kalush in kalush, i think so well then, as everyone expected, this is our first victory, as the second will be a victory over the enemy , in which exact place can eurovision 2023 be held, we will talk about it further volodymyr bebeshko,

music producer, contact us we congratulate you. i congratulate you. as far as we know, i understand that the organizers have clear requirements for the city, its infrastructure, logistics, where it should take place, where it can take place. and as far as i know, not every ukrainian city has met these requirements yet. before the war, because theoretically, the next eurovision could be held in ukraine, it should be a place for everyone, it is convenient, it is bright, the summer holiday should be good, the weather should be a plus, there should be cats, water in the sea, the sun should be shining, i think that the city of yalta is very suitable for holding this holiday, i support but the realities are such that yalta may not be liberated yet, then something. what is nearby mariupol, for example, it is nearby, not far from there, it is also possible to spend, why not, and if the war continues, i have great hope that

it will not continue, nevertheless. as far as i understand organic preparation, roughly speaking, not in a week and not in two, here is your colleague ihor kondratyuk today on the air of svoboda morning radio. he said that if the war and hostilities in ukraine do not end by the summer, it is unlikely that ukraine will be able to host the eurovision song contest at all. well, i don't know, maybe they have there must be some conditions that must be safe, well, in extreme cases, you can hold the eurovision song contest in kyiv, if it doesn't work out in yalta, in mariupol, why not, and were there in the history of the contest at all? maybe you heard something, the president, when there was a war or some kind of conflict or fighting in the country actions and it was necessary to hold the eurovision song contest in general, what is the way out of such situations, there is no way out, we must win, end the war and hold the eurovision song contest where the ukrainian territories are in any

place, we have the right to hold it in our homeland . it seems that the infrastructure there will not allow it to be held. i think let's win and change ukraine from the invaders, and there we will calmly decide where to hold the eurovision song contest. i think so, by the way, you mentioned mariupol and volodymyr zelensky also said that he once told may hope that the contest will be held in mariupol, and he really didn't say next year, but by the way, i even saw discussions about this in social networks, saying that even if putin capitulates tomorrow, mariupol is not the city where eurovision should be held. that well, let's say the code of death will remain there for a long time. yes, there is a lot of negativity, unfortunately, it's true, and there is only one city that will have to be demined for a year or two

. everything will be over then you can sit down calmly and think now is not the time to think about where to spend our truth we have more problems now we have a problem how to get out of the scandal with poland i just want to ask you about it because in my memory all the scandals are in relation to the eurovision song contest, they ended at the moment when the selection tour ended in ukraine, and here the scandal broke out after the eurovision song contest itself, even when ukraine won as it was . some points in poland, look, we need to find the root of evil, where does it all come

from ? quite well-known in ukraine, not quite authoritative, because the jury must have people who have been recognized for years, but here they recruited boys, they recruited a girl , well, why, why is there a girl, iryna fedyshyn, a famous ukrainian singer, listen a girl can leave the village. but a girl can never leave the village. well, that’s not the way to go. and to play music and judge yourself because she made so many mistakes, she didn’t read the rules of how to judge. she took it and gave it 10 points . points were given, you understand, and that means zero because we don't score points there, but we need points anyway, whether there are points or not, she scored points for those points, she did it, you understand, she also

posted a questionnaire, where is she somewhere points were placed, it is not possible to do this violation because yet i repeat, they should have trained everyone how to vote, but they didn't do it, and you are the organizers in the first place for me. and this is at this time when the war is going on and our poles are supporting us to do such a stupid thing. i think about it, that's why i now i think that the sbu should call all the organizers and find out that they are either idiots or some saboteurs, how can you explain it now, you understand, it’s scary. well, the political competition, you are now talking about the fact that poland is not enough in the jury post by the way, viewers ukrainians from poland gave a high score, and the people, the audience, are citizens of ukraine, and the jury says that the contest is not political, we judged it based on musical abilities, so listen. they

said that other european countries also gave such scores, so in other european countries, there is no war, now we have a tragedy, a war. well it is necessary to somehow support the guys from kalusha, as they did, risking their position, that they could be removed from the competition, and he came out and said save mariupol, support ukraine correctly. they did not think about places and these people came for pr and didn't think that it was necessary to support the contest is not political, but there was always a political flavor and it was possible to draw and support poland, nothing happened to them because we have such a time now, you have to make some contribution and you don't have to finish themselves very strong musicologists that they are very good at music, nothing she is not good enough who does not understand the big picture so much, this is the opinion of volodymyr bebeshko, music producer, thank you very much, please, the city of artsyz is the odesa region lived without electricity and water supply for almost a week

due to rocket attacks by the russian army, one of the rockets hit an electrical substation, another destroyed the bastovy elevator and with several thousand tons of grain near the city you can see deep sinkholes and remnants of ballistic or cruise missiles residential buildings damaged by blast waves windows in some of them, wrapped in a film from an arciz, a report by mykhailo shtekel. in person, my friend said that around three o'clock in the morning she saw a bright orange glow, that is, it was like that she described the sound was muffled, but at the same time it was very clear that you understood that you live on the other side of the city, the date of the holy day, the exit to the other side, the ukrainian bessarabia, the city of artsyz, its resident tetyana muzychenko leads the correspondents of radio liberty outside the city, showing where a rocket recently arrived, they say that they heard an explosion and people saw too many kilometers from here, on the night of the 7th to the 8th of may, residents of the artistic district and the city of artsyz saw a huge flash of a funnel from that

aerial bomb or russian missile so deep that groundwater began to come out from below, there are still large and small debris from the rocket, some of the remains were taken away by the investigators to determine with which missile and from where the russian army struck the ukrainian city, the blast wave knocked out several windows in the building of the local water intake station, and the next day the rocket melted another in the power station, the city was left without electricity for almost a week to supply the city with water, even for a few hours a day, diesel generators were started, several dozens were also organized points for charging gadgets, 24-hour electricity was received only by critical infrastructure facilities, generators. at the central district hospital, there is a lot of fuel

consumption, but we are coping, we use up 800 liters of heavy loads per day." no, no, it is a military facility, therefore, commercial director of excisehlib, oleksiy kutsarev , says that when he came to the enterprise in the morning, he saw broken windows, bent steel doors and fragments of rockets all over the territory of the plant . it remained closed during the impact, that is, it skewed, that is, landed, otherwise the director's office was also damaged by the explosive wave, and the corridors were strewn with impressive elements , kutsarev says, the workers left the wreckage

of the damaged equipment as a memory, but pay attention to the padlock that stood in our warehouse , it just remained without anything, it was blown away by the wind we came across metallic remnants, this is for the defeat of the forces moving here from the rockets , that is, there were also a large number of them, but the pyrotechnicians took them away because that's all the blast wave had to blow down the entrance door of the factory, but they almost killed the security guard who was on duty at the time. he received a shrapnel wound and says that pieces of metal literally flew over his head. the pressure when the glass shatters, the cod was scared, i can't even tell because it's a shocker from the

blast wave, many residential buildings were damaged, here's one of them, the windows were knocked out, the roof was damaged, the ceilings were damaged, the plasterboard collapsed less than a week after the rockets electricity supply to the city has been restored, damaged houses are being restored, and debris from russian missiles is still being collected around the city. mykhailo shtekel radio freedom ukraine has a chance to become a member of nato like finland and sweden without the pdc stage of the membership action plan, the interim us representative said in an interview with european pravda in ukraine, kristina queen, she emphasized that the pdce was never a legal requirement for those countries that want to join nato, it is a mechanism, queen says, that allows achieving the requirements for compatibility. if any the state already meets all these requirements, the plan has reached membership, it becomes unnecessary, i would like to remind you that the day before the government of finland, sweden officially

announced their decision to apply for nato membership, this provoked new discussions in the kremlin, so vladimir putin said today that russia has no questions about joining nato nato of sweden and finland, but they say that their entry into the alliance does not pose a threat to moscow, but the expansion of military infrastructure on the territories of nato countries provokes, respectively, a reaction or the russian president called out to us serhiy dzhernova of the public league of ukraine , nato, my congratulations to you. i congratulate you. let's start with the statement of the queen's diplomacy. but in ukraine, for years, there have been discussions about the pf, when it will be received, when it will not be received. to join the alliance, but he says no, and finland and sweden join nato without a joint venture, what then prevents ukraine from going this way? well, actually these countries, finland, have been building their

security system in accordance with nato standards for many years. conducted training maneuvers with nato member countries and if we talk about interoperability, it is present in them, it should be noted that finland and sweden have a common economic and security agreement with other countries of northern europe, denmark and norway, so in fact they are deeply incorporated not only in the european union, but also in nato, therefore, if, let's say, in the future there were any threats to these countries, then denmark and norway would intervene on their behalf, respectively , would be involved in this defense policy and on yes, but obviously these the countries today have decided that the best way for them is to ensure the security of their own countries. they decided to acquire nato membership. sweden has not been a part of such a political security bloc for centuries. look here.

christina quinn said that there is an nsc requirements that the country must meet, and the war showed that the ukrainian military knows how to fight, if they do not know how to do something, they learn quickly, and military researchers write that the world underestimated the ukrainian army and so on. well, it is obvious that the military component of some requirements in this regard, maybe they will not be so strict then, could you list what other requirements are facing ukraine that must be fulfilled in order to meet, uh, how sweden and finland meet nato oh, i will tell you about them now, i just want to say that you know these requirements arose from time to time they have not been since the very beginning of the creation of nato 2000 in 1949, when nato was created in the nato charter itself, it was stated that every european country that professes democracy recognizes these institutions, you can bring your contribution to the security of europe has the right to acquire membership of

the entire organization because nato was conceived as a system of collective security for europe, north america, and let's say 1955 seems to be the year when the federal republic of germany joined nato , no one held any referendums there, but with regard to ukraine, this was such a big topic e- they talked about the fact that there is no such great support for this, and therefore it is even if it is blocked. well, today it is , thank god, today the majority of ukrainian citizens actively support the ideas of ukraine's membership in nato but i'm talking about what if in 1955 germany had held such a referendum on whether the germans wanted to join nato or not. i'm sure he wouldn't have won a majority because then there were still alive soldiers and officers of the wehrmacht who were looking at colleagues from britain there, let's say of the united states, but the german leaders at

that time said that we will be a new europe, we need it in ukraine, but the action plan for nato membership was applied to a number of other countries, in principle, if it is considered as an element of such a road map, if we had raised our standards were reformed and acquired new criteria from technical regulations that would allow us to be compatible with the armies of nato member countries. this is normal, but sometimes it is such a task with undefined goals . well, if you heard that there are many people who are not ready, something is not unprepared, of course now we are talking about the fact that the ukrainian army does not meet some high criteria.

federations but at the same time, individual nato member countries do not care at all about the protection of europe, and some even put sticks in the wheels of helping ukraine, so there are really criticisms about the ukrainian army that it is not ready, it looked cynical, it also says a lot about the readiness of society , that is in general, the development of democracy is actually the same plan of action, the economy of ukraine in nato, the analogue of which we carried out in ukraine, we had an annual cooperation program ukraine nato, it also provided for economic reforms political reforms, this is the reform of the judicial system, the reform of the electoral legislation, that is, all this must be done. i think that i will clarify, that is, it is good to fight skillfully, that is not enough, as you

said, it is necessary to carry out a judicial reform there, work on human rights, fight corruption, and this whole and all aspects they will constitute a certain ticket to the alliance there. well, you know, i am absolutely right . if it concerns the army, our military said before the war that we are ready for war. took away the politicians who slowed down this process, what if they told us that this is not for the best for us non-alignment, which eventually caused the war but it seems to me that uh, we should not speculate on these topics, you know, because the topic of corruption is so hyped and uh, if well , in some ways, it seems to me that it is exaggerated. if there is a need for some kind of legislation that would

regulate life in ukraine in this way, it is necessary to adopt it. we did partially, we are on this path, i just uh, i would not like to hear from our uh, partners from nato some abstract maxims, for example, about the fact that you have corruption there too goodbye , well, it exists in every country, that is, it is about so that it does not dominate this norway, if it is in finland, i apologize, there is practically zero corruption. well, if that is the case, we are talking about the safety of the whole of europe and the safety of all peoples and those who studied well at school and those who received deuces, so maybe there is some country more corrupt, less corrupt, this does not mean that it does not need to be protected, you know, if there was such an

approach, for example, during the second world war, when the anti-hitler coalition planned to liberate the countries of europe from hitler's capture, and we could also say that there is some kind of albania, they have some relations are not democratic at all. let 's not liberate her in italy. there are some uh, we have a lot of time. let me ask one more question briefly. there is a 1,200 km common border between russia and finland. why is putin so nervous about the fact that the finns are going to nato, but because of ukraine they are nervous , they are not afraid of nato, and it was a pure lie. he talked about some kind of flight time there, 5-7 minutes from kharkiv to moscow from finland, it will be even faster there, maybe one minute to st. petersburg and yes more that's why it was all a lie. putin needed to conquer all of ukraine, its territory, its potential, economic, human, geographical, natural

resources, our agriculture is developed , that's all he needs. and he invented the reason for nato, they just wanted to get hold of something and that's why they made up all these things, and why were they really afraid of ukraine's membership in nato, because if ukraine was a member of nato, they could not even start this war against us, and that was actually the whole rhetoric, but in fact, he is not afraid of nato at all and is sure that until finland in sweden, not a single gunpowder will be made there, it is possible that you will tell us something bad and nothing else. thank you very much serhiy djerzh, head of the public league ukraine nato, foreign journalists, in particular , reuters agencies, the press showed how ukrainian servicemen load the bodies of russian soldiers onto refrigerated wagons, it is noted

that ukraine is ready to exchange the bodies of dead russian soldiers for the bodies of dead ukrainian fighters, but at the moment there is no dialogue with russia, do you want it ? until a decision on the transfer of the sects is made at the interstate level, the ukrainian side is ready to hand them over tomorrow or even today, however, the request for receiving these bodies is in russian at the moment, there was no party there. anchor is the last

to be raised. it will be seen today. you saw that biological materials were taken from all the others by law enforcement agencies. even in these refrigerators, an interpol inspector worked in the eu. they admit that they will not be able to agree on the positions of all countries regarding the oil embargo. and what should be included in of the sixth package of sanctions against russia, this was

announced today by the representative of the eu for foreign policy and security, jose borel, before the meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs of the eu countries, who was present at it the head of the ukrainian foreign ministry, dmytro kuleba , followed the progress of the meeting, zoryana stepanenko greeted her starry, what news do you have, i congratulate my own european union is trying to advance in the issue of oil sanctions against russia, but admits that it has found itself hostage among its own hungary insists that it is not ready to support these reactive sanctions, explaining that to the detriment of its own economy and expecting that the european union will compensate it for losses, in particular, from rising prices, to the point of modernizing its energy infrastructure, hungary today was estimated at more than 15 billion euros the heads of diplomacy of the eu countries gathered in brussels today, they are trying to reach a common denominator and convince them that the oil barge is a common interest , their ukrainian colleague dmytro kuleba, who has just literally finished his participation in this meeting, also joined the meeting and reminded the european

diplomats that their countries pay the aggressive country millions for gas and oil every day, which it then spends on the war against ukraine. the european union pays twice, first by supporting ukraine and then clothes or russia and then again pays for the destruction caused to ukrainian land by russian weapons, this is not how it should work, and the introduction of sanctions on russian gas and oil is in the best interests of europe and not only ukraine on the supply of oil and gas to europe. russia earns almost a billion dollars every day. the aggressors export black gold here, the european union is still not able, disputes have been going on for almost a month, and the oil barge should mark the splits of the eu. brussels offered hungary to extend the transition period and, based on this example, make exceptions for itself the czech republic, bulgaria, slovakia, greece, cyprus, which is dependent on russia for oil, wanted the negotiations to reach a dead end, and the eu even thought of introducing a sixth package of sanctions without oil in order to at least not

slow down other restrictions. of this idea, they say that it can look like uh, this is a manifestation of weakness, and in brussels they hope that they will still be able to agree on the most sensitive point of this round of sanctions, that is, it has not yet been refused from the idea that an oil embargo will be introduced, and kuleb, i asked him, he said that he also does not believe that the sixth package will be implemented without oil, thank you, thank you, great, zoryana stepanenko works in brussels and monitors what is happening around the sixth package of sanctions against russia. thank you, charges svoboda life will return on the air tomorrow in the meantime, i advise everyone to subscribe to radio freedom channels on the internet, every day, every moment. even in war there is

a miracle that moves, inspires and gives strength to believe in our victory. will the eurozone countries be able to find themselves
