six candidates were included in the ballots, the fiercest struggle was between kravchuk and chernovol, leonid makarovych won with the support of 61%." to the people of ukraine and she was also the first. kravchuk

had not yet taken the oath on the peresopnytsk gospel , he kept his right hand on his heart and his left hand on the constitution of the ukrainian ssr , which was adopted much later, as much as 5 years later, they did not hand over the guarantor to anya, there were any seals, but they simply congratulated this historical photo from the tribune and hangs on a ukrainian house today, on the day of the burial, the 91st year, the moment of the oath of leonid kravchuk he was certainly worried, but not that he would become the president. i think his team and he himself were convinced that it would happen, that's why they were sad. today in the ukrainian house, there was no bell, silence, the guard of honor, a bunch of flowers in front of the coffin,

kravchuk's state awards, almost everyone for his outstanding contribution to the formation and the development of independence he has the title of hero of ukraine of the order of freedom and prince yaroslav the wise less than a week after his inauguration in 91 existence since 1992, the sign of the new year is the greeting of the president of ukraine in the year to which we are now saying goodbye a spiritual turning point occurred in the peoples of ukraine the self-awareness of all nationalities in our republic is growing the duties between the president and the parliament in the state were shared on the go simply editing the constitution of soviet ukraine of 1978 in the conditions when, in fact, a new independent peculiar state of ukraine was being born, the behavior is more active than ever, this is a clear vertical of state power, which is capable of

consolidating society, which forms the conditions when the constitution, laws of ukraine must be implemented in every corner of ukraine, a huge contribution from the glass, you know, the people have such and such a proverb , it is very wise. he also wants to know which person is in front of you, even if he has even a drop of power in conditions when everything needs to be done quickly, the president needs to be different the parliamentarians will discuss any issue, the economy of a young country resembled the budget of a young family, hyperinflation, the deficit of the state budget, rising prices, the planned economy was no longer working, and the market economy had not yet worked as it should the period 1991 - 1994 we lost 58% of the gross domestic product and the standard

of living of people fell unprecedentedly, the exams were huge and why exactly figures like leonid makarovych kravchuk were very important, necessary to go again without internal electoral seats even at the beginning of the civil war, 90 people lost their jobs en masse, millions were able to learn to trade, a comrade put them in a bag on wheels, it was nicknamed the tailor in honor of the first president , leonid makarovich himself was not offended by the saying on the contrary, i was proud, i treat kravchuk with understanding. and i think that this is a stage that was used by the ukrainian people, but since at that time i was the president, they tied this suitcase. as a person with an excellent sense of humor, he was not afraid to joke and his successor, leonid kuchma, talks about himself, and he was also calm, open and

worthy of criticism, this is remembered today in the ukrainian home. well, you think that someone likes criticism, but he didn't give off so much heat, he was right there, well, three, and then when one on one, you could say all kinds of compliments to each other. was he really proud that a bag was named a tailor in his honor? you already understand very well that this tailor appeared because people don't have it was like living normally, so to speak, these years he was in office for only 32 months, but during this time ukraine was recognized by 130 countries of the world. he signed 400 laws, the trident became the small coat of arms of ukraine, and in 1992 he signed the helsinki final act, which began our integration into europe. i met with him in 1994 when he was during the election campaign when he was preparing to run

for president of our country since that time i know this person as a statesman who did a lot for our country, the person who first signed primary documents on the creation of our state, the state of washington was then interested in the non -proliferation of soviet nuclear weapons directed against the united states, some of which were located on the territory of ukraine , the decision of president kravchuk to abandon nuclear weapons because of the exit in ukraine was absolutely correct it was not. you understand, europe wanted to have nuclear weapons under its belt, today it is possible to argue whether the americans made a mistake, they will make sure that the soviet arsenal is left behind by russia

alone . by his own admission , he doubted the communist doctrine even when he was studying in moscow and got into the party archives, and some of the resolutions regulate the unpublished patients much more accurately letters of lenin, my hair became a miracle, as they say, because lenin's resolutions to his subordinates were to shoot, kill, shoot, don't hesitate, the revolution justifies everything, i then concluded for myself that such a state, such a people, or such a year, such a government, the government should not have the right to exist, or kravchuk as a democrat , kravchuk at least tried his ability to leave office in time and stood out

from the rest, say all present politicians who managed to work with him in the 20th and 21st centuries. repair dent ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi together with flowers are laid for his wife elena, kravchuk's family sympathizes, leonid makarovich's family is in mourning, that's why they ask journalists to refrain from asking questions , antonina's wife could not leave the coffin for a long time, and at the last moment her mother even hugged her , leonid makarovich 's only grown-up son oleksandr is reassuring business after the presidency. kravchuk was a deputy for three more convocations. in 2006, the politician announced his retirement from politics and focused on public activities and did not even have a pension i was at peace, i was in a tripartite contact group , i was rooting for ukraine, i came, i could have

rested, but the time for rest has not come, i made a decision if i can, and i want to do something about it to speed up peace in donbas. i will do it until my last breath. in the east, kravchuk himself assured that he would not allow any concessions from russia in matters of ukrainian sovereignty. i remember very well how, during one meeting, once again boryspil caught something from something there, then tried lina's educational exhibition makarovich could not stand such a diplomatic style, you know a little what i want to remind you boris vyacheslavovich that we are no longer in the soviet union for a long time no longer under the kremlin, we are independent, besides that, we do not need to tell us here what we should

do, that is, makarovich could cut in so very tolerant but crash later, when our cameras were turned off, it means that the screen for a break, he could afford to squeeze it out. leonid kravchuk together with leonid kuchma and viktor yushchenko appealed to the signatory countries of the budapest memorandum with a request to take steps to stop the aggressor country, i.e. russia, and after the attack they appealed to the ukrainians and the same three, this is the last appeal where leonid makarovich kravchuk appeared when the question was raised would you mind living in a renewed union, you know 73% of ukrainians said that they would like to live in a renewed soviet union er, it is very important to understand where president lviv makarovych started from we must

i applaud makarovich for the work he did not only as president, but today we say that this was his most significant responsibility, and that is why i remember luid makarovich with great respect. his heart stopped on may 10, at the age of 89, in the summer of 2021 kravchuk underwent heart surgery last year. he was undergoing rehabilitation after surgery in germany. on his last journey, leonid makarovich was again escorted by an honor guard to the bike cemetery. he was taken through the government the parliament quarter and the president's office, for me the first president is always the first, i love this word first and the first and these are his two words in a very

short phrase to say a lot to someone like that, well, everyone often said that this is a person who could pass between the droplets there and so on well, it's his wisdom, it's his experience, it's his knowledge . he never refused an interview, he didn't shy away from sharp questions. well, you know that his catchphrases go between the dots, and we have what others have, and so on, the president sang rector of the orthodox church of ukraine epiphany eternal memory of leonid makarovych people take turns saying goodbye to leonid makarovych symbolically putting their hand on the edge of the coffin as a countryman benido

makarovych grave of leonid makarovych on the central alley of the fairy-tale cemetery next to other political figures leonid makarovych was the first in everything an extremely intelligent person wise and honorable, the very one who created independent ukraine, and who will now watch over its most difficult challenge today, olena chernyakova, maksym khlopotov, marina asmolova, artem zubkov, oleksiy prodayvoda, and ksenia wednesday marathon and the only news russian sniper killed volunteer anton kushnir who was delivering humanitarian aid to kherson region and was taking people back from the occupied territory, i informed the deputy of the kherson city council ivan bepko about this the volunteer's car was driving first behind him a minibus full of people when a shot rang out from the beginning of the war anton took away from dozens of people and on the way back to the rules of a ton of humanitarian aid to the people of kherson from the

volunteer staff in mykolaiv about other crimes of the occupiers in the kherson region, then these creepy shots filmed on march 2 for a video fragment of a prayer for the fallen soldiers of the kherson teroborona, they came out against the russian occupiers with molotov cocktails and were brutally killed in the lilac square, i decided to make public the video materials that risked their own safety and life, which was saved by one brave citizen of kherson, guided by his own conviction that the truth makes us free, i in once again i take such a step, the priest is convinced of his sacrifice, the fighters gave rise to the kherson movement, resistance about the feat and showed courage, it was extremely normal, or i was sacrificial what can we do, at least to a small degree , that is, to show them our respect and

my great monument, we are rocking the occupiers like cockroaches, they spread through kherson region about surviving under the enemy's muzzle, the inhabitants of the liberated villages tell about being drunk or on their knees or smoking signs they came well , they put them on their knees, uh, separated the boys, who were these men, separated them, emphasized here iii years of women, devoured the gold that they had there, devoured everything above their heads, shot, it seems , soldiers of the marauding federation invaded ukraine with the sole purpose of torturing and stuffing your own pockets to a woman, you to me like this come here, let's go, let's give money, gold, diamonds, dollars, that is, where do i get them from? on its way, people built infrastructure in the great aleksandrivka, the russian peace came to rush chaotically they beat the villages, leaving the inhabitants to the ruins under them

and the trouble song. the rashists call vysokrovka military objects, the enemy has been pouring fire on the village in the south-buzka direction for days now, enemy units did not conduct active hostilities, our units were shelled by barrel artillery and mortars in the areas of populated areas of tauriyske estuaries, trudolyubivka and osokorivka, our fighters are giving their lives, soldiers of the brigade named yakov handyuk is being etched out of the ukrainian land, worthy in the area of ​​the settlement of davydov ford , the enemy's field ammunition depot is destroyed, the russians are coming on the treacherous tricks in the territory of the belozersk otg, they noticed people who were dressed in the uniform of the armed forces of ukraine, ukrainian uniforms pass through the evening

defense in the morning and he introduces himself to the precinct, asks about the situation, what was going on here, what was there, where was gupalo? in the ukrainian form, you immediately understand that all this is not valid, the locals are convinced that only marauders and russians can disguise themselves so brazenly, besides, how can the occupiers prevent ukrainians from leaving the occupied territories the invaders are introducing a system of passes to limit people's ability to leave the region as much as possible. and the powerful informational and psychological operation of the occupiers is aimed at suppressing the resistance of the local population, which has a strong pro- ukrainian position. it is difficult to withstand it, that is why people dare to overcome sixty roadblocks in rashi. just to leave, the invaders check everyone and often take away food cigarettes and money, and the already difficult road turns into hell , people stand for several days just in the field of orcs again

for two days now, more than 1,000 cars with people who want to leave the temporarily non-controlled territories of the kherson region have been gathered and held in the beryslav district. a thousand cars are about 5,000 people displaced in kryvyi rih and other cities of the region. they are ready to accept both day and night yevgenia tereshchenko andriy kuzmovich details inter tv channel marathon is the only news and now the broadcast is joined by e.e. rostyslav smirnov volunteer freelance adviser to the minister of internal affairs of ukraine good evening good evening e-e tell your predictions when we will finally begin to liberate our already occupied territories i mean a full-scale offensive both in the south and in the east and what will be required for this well, in fact, we must understand that first of all we need a certain time now we must understand that there are, relatively speaking, three the first phase of the war is

when we defend ourselves. in the first one, we stopped the enemy, he is not running anywhere, we are moving now, we are in the second phase, when, in principle, the plus-minus forces are equal, but we are also gradually moving to the third phase, precisely to the phase when, if you see the kharkiv region, several settlements were liberated yesterday in the luhansk direction. that is , we are gradually moving to the third to the third class, but the important point about which we must understand that if we wanted them there, we didn’t want to talk about it, but we got it, we won’t say it. received military aid from our international partners, he receives it every day, but of course we asked for it earlier, we would have liked to receive it earlier , but we received it already when we received it, and we

must understand that here is an important point that we must understand after the robbery in that the number of troops and the concentration of russian troops in the east of the country at the beginning, i say once again that this operation is precisely in the east, and the advantage of the russian troops was 8 to one, so that we simply understand. this is the first story, the second story was also an advantage probably military equipment. but after successful operations , including the counteroffensive of ukrainian troops after well, when we receive a sufficiently large amount of weapons, we are already approaching the point where our forces are plus-minus, and you can see this on the map, in principle, because there are no leads from the federation and the factor that we know about, including, and i know, our armed forces of ukraine, that they have already started, let's say, to dig in and pour concrete fences there in the kherson direction. they are already preparing for defense, that is, we must understand that very quickly in the near future we will go into a counteroffensive on all

fronts, but it still won't be there tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, because the main aspect that stops us somewhere and prevents us from moving very quickly is that that we are, and i think this is correct, we are a subjective opinion, a strategic decision has been made that our main strategic task now is primarily not, in principle, let's say not to fight for our territory, the main strategic task is to inflict as much damage as possible the enemy, because we must understand that we have uh, we have a razarova, relatively speaking, human reserves, we have more technology, we learn in a different technology, and so on, there is no russian federation. libra plus-minus is beginning to equalize, but if we stick to this strategy, we will soon begin to significantly prevail because we are constantly receiving everything and they are not, and this is an important point that

is being talked about in principle not only there i can’t say that, in principle, i can tell you these data. dear international intelligence, there are leading countries in the world who are simply telling about it. and here we expect that it is significant, just significant, which i will tell , the advantage of the totality of all these factors , the armament, the human character, the training of fighters and many other factors just show about the fact that i think that, let's say seriously enough, the enemy will feel our counteroffensive at the end, conditionally, the end of june, the beginning of july, but even before this advantage, literally today the minister of defense gryaznikov when he called on europe to speed up the provision of this aid because russia is getting stronger and

is preparing for a long war. e of these forces even if we prevail in order to be released by two, look, i would not want to engage in hat -throwing, you know, like there we will beat everyone here, we are the best here and so on, we must understand that at the strategic level we have already won strategic level there is a tactical level, if we are talking about a strategic level, for example, let's compare the second world war, and the allied countries won this strategic victory in the 41st year, when, thanks to churchill, he was able to do so. well, only he, and in general, the allies were able to objects in the war, including the united states of america, to sign lend-lease programs and so on, but we must not forget that even after all this, our fight lasted four years if we now return to the situation today's reason must be understood that somewhere there is a clear correlation that we are getting weapons, we have

resources, but this does not mean that the war will end tomorrow. it will really have a relatively long -term effect. i also have no doubt. we must understand that there are certain time mechanisms due to which we, despite our desire, simply cannot delay, and again, what i would like to say about the important marko on which he would emphasize us, conditionally speaking, hmm arrives and their because we are gradually destroying their equipment, we are destroying their human reserves, and so on, and if we look from our side, our equipment is constantly breaking through, we are preparing ourselves through the reserves, we have had a mobilization, we are undergoing training, and so on. so what if we are now we are talking about, including also about our enemy. we must understand that, in principle, the issue of mobilization is not on their agenda. i would

like to ask you something about mobilization if we start a counteroffensive. putin can already resort to a general mobilization is as far as possible and will it help him with this situation. now, if allowed, i will try to explain this situation. let's make it low enough. i can explain why the first story in russia did not give. they call it a special operation, not a war of the civil federation, very timidly, let's say. they have a different attitude to the very word war, they have a certain fear of war, which is why i, even if you take sociological studies, were in favor of a special operation from ukraine, but they are against the war from ukraine, that is, a certain splitting of the personality is the first story the second story according to the same sociological research ah more than 80% are against mobilization because mobilization is about war and the subconscious mind of all citizens becomes the question and what will our

special operation mobilize us for, everything is fine we are told about our successes and so on, what is the purpose of mobilizing people? this is the second factor. and here is the third factor that you should understand. i think that this mobilization is the most important, in principle, the only such large global window putin had on may 9, he basically i don't understand - he didn't do this mobilization and i'm convinced that he won't do it in the future either , that is, he still has a third factor - that's how we have such a hidden mobilization that it will happen . years old - these are people who will be called up for military service, with whom a contract may be signed, either forced or voluntary, conditionally speaking, and so on, although i would also put a very big question mark on voluntary. and here we must understand even if these people will be mobilized, first of all , these people already know what is happening, they definitely know because these are people who do not sit in front of tvs,

but sit more in telegram channels. the conference showed that the level of trust in telegram channels was decided by 20% of all federations, this is a young person who reads the majority, she already starts me, in general, i understood your opinion that mass mobilization is most likely impossible, and the quality of these troops, but i am forced to thank you already for this conversation. i am very grateful that you are so late but agreed to talk with us at such a time. it was rostyslav smirnov, a volunteer, a freelance adviser to the minister of internal affairs, and then we have a news release of his. let's eat we will win the news together we are strong unconquered cities of ukraine this is the cossack city of izyum where one of the

oldest buildings of the slobozhanshchyna is located the transfiguration cathedral was the center of the famous izyum regiment the townspeople survived the first famine thanks to the active struggle against pro-departures in the second world war. the city twice found itself in the center of fierce battles today. raisin is again on the line. fires have scorched germany, but we are ready to stand for victory. we are soon on the volunteer front in the international sports arena. good evening. we are from ukraine. we are strong in spirit. he defends his land, his people. we stand and

victory is just a matter of time with a big heart. we say strong, which remains just like that. it is much stronger. today, azovstal is a fortress, a symbol of a bastion. more than once, the occupier will break his teeth here, but he will never fail to destroy the walls, but he will never break the spirit . from the ashes, we will be reborn without sparing either strength, time, or resources. that's how we in ukraine now don't say

strong like sex, we say strong like azov steel , life will win its people, they cried when they saw our boys. our people already at home know how you are to me you just insert it the last day is behind you and even on other continents and they will not forget about you come to ukraine true friendship is stronger than war may 18, the 84th day of the full-scale invasion we continue to fight against the occupiers
