through the lens of the camera, we are substituting temptation, don't be nervous, on the flash drives that were given to you. and information on the wounded, er, for all the time until today's moment, the angels, who already know all over ukraine, saved our wounded on the battlefield by the way, they also provided help to the russian

wounded, as it is actually provided for by all conventions, she saved the children from suspicions, she took them out, she took them out, a lot of her units were made of children, at least a little bit helped you, how are you doing here, it’s normal, what’s up with us the problem girl is such a diesel, there is no diesel, we’ll die , maybe we’ll come up with something, yes, if it works out, i’ll be public, yes, i’ll try. it’s true that she’s some kind of radical, or there’s a nazi, or something else. here’s how to say that she’s a real doctor who is apolitical and he shows help to

everyone этого нужается в ето нужается откуда где болит солнышко грук руку руку руку болит дрестоне сердце president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy became the most influential person of 2022 according to the

readers of time magazine when russian troops launched a full-scale invasion of ukraine. comedian zelenskyi, who had no political experience before being elected president of ukraine in 2019, entered the world arena and rallied leaders to support ukraine. this is a direct quote from the time publication . in the second place, the director of the tesla company and spacex-selaon musk, in the third place, the british prime minister boresh johnson, the full list of one hundred people will be published by the editors of time on may 23, and today, by the way, exactly three years from on the day of the inauguration of volodymyr zelenskyi and this event on may 20, 2019, radio svoboda broadcast live how the attitude of the citizens towards zelenskyi has changed. not

zelenskyi, but his competitor petro poroshenko. how lviv now evaluates zelenskyi's presidency, listen to it from an actor, from a showman, he is slowly becoming a political figure, it is clear that the average citizen to him there are a lot of questions, especially with the first days of the war , and those are not the questions sooner or later the family will have to answer somewhere, it was like that under poroshenko, it has changed because he showed his resilience and courage, and for sure there has been a lot of respect for his merits, we can only say one thing that he did not run away, there are many questions why did this happen? that the south of ukraine was taken literally in three hours , why when the best intelligence in the world can be said for a whole year, but about the fact that there will be a war, we were told that we should prepare for barbecues now

you know. he is in his place and so brave that he put macron where it is necessary so that he should know. well, i say what he should do during the three years of zelenskyi's presidency, we will analyze it further by contacting us oleksiy haran, political scientist, professor of political science, the academic director of the democratic initiatives foundation in the name of ilka kucherina kucheryava, my greetings to you. good day, kucheryeva kucheryava. do you agree with the readers of the magazine, who gave the ukrainian president first place in the person of the year nomination? do you agree with with such a choice, well, it is quite possible, listen to this uh, this is this choice, these are people who, well, if they were in the center of attention , what uh, whose figures are discussed all over the world, and we understand that that is, it is not a plus or minus , because we know that there

were different people in this section of the time magazine. yes, including bloody dictators, maybe putin was there. by the way, i am not sure. but i think that the fact that zelensky is there now represents the attention that he is currently paying to ukraine, and we must understand that zelensky actually now for the world he will make ukraine the resistance of ukraine so that's why i think that it is in this case it is completely justified and well-deserved. well, if we talk about zelenskyi before the war and zelenskyi after the war, are they two different people, or is it some kind of delusion, er, well, look, i’m not, they’re not two different people, so er, just again you understand, look at his rating and we remember how he was elected in 2019, that is, a

person who is completely unprepared for politics, very naive, let's sit down with putin and agree , let's draw a line in the middle and so on, yes, we've seen and tried the politicization of power and populism and all on the world, and in the end it led to the fact that on the eve of the war, his ratings dropped very much, and uh, if there are elections, his party will definitely not have a majority in the parliament in elections based on proportional lists. i mean, uh, but the evolution of zelenskyi has begun even before the war why because actually this is a naive approach that we will go to meet putin and putin will go to the meeting, he did not justify himself and the actual actions of russia that were during , including during zelensky's stay in power, they led to the fact that his position began the state is becoming more statesmanlike, much more

professional. that is, it all started to happen. well, what happened during the war means that, well, look, zelensky really did not run away, which is completely normal, completely in nature, yes, very much , that is, the world - this is surprising, you understand, because we are at the beginning of the war they compared it to afghanistan, and i remember the surprise that zak had, or rather the emotional joy of western experts, as they said, listen to your leader, he did not run away as the president in afghanistan. i told them then, listen, but none of the ukrainians politicians are not in these, well, except for a few police officers , everyone works here, that is, zelenskyi behaved normally, but i would say that here he fell into his niche, so that is, he is a communicator, he makes statements, he conveys the ukrainian position, our

position, it is correct russia is showing the whole world its brutality and aggressiveness, and that is why zelensky is very if, because he speaks very sincerely, very emotionally, he is bribing this audience. he says that you ukrainians can have different attitudes to this. i understand, but here in the west, everyone is delighted because zelenskyy communicated very well here, he should be given credit. well, what your lviv residents said about the mistakes and before the war e- well, obviously this will become the topic of a separate conversation later, but already after the victory. that is why zelensky is doing it. in principle, he is doing it. he is in his place, but at the same time, we must understand that questions still remain, questions remain about

his personnel policy, questions remain about that a what will ukraine be like after the war, because we are fighting not only for independence, we are fighting because we are a different civilization than russia . students online in different countries can be asked about it. can i just tell the audience a very interesting conversation for context, and one of the students asked him something like, well, what could be the future if the minister of education was accused of plagiarism, to which volodymyr replied zelenskyy somehow did not answer so directly, but he allegedly said well, let's not dwell on the little things now, because the war has renewed everything and now let's judge by cases who helps during the war and here is such an ambiguous answer as to

my question unequivocally yes and i am very glad that you asked me about it, because otherwise i would have said that the edge does not like scarlet. and there is also something else. it is very good that you asked about it. and by the way, i just wrote a post. it should be published soon, uh, in the new time, and i wrote about it, you understand. the war is real a lot of things are written off, this is true and people reveal themselves during the war, they can reveal themselves for the worse, they can reveal themselves for the better, and we saw that there are a lot of people who we thought were pro-russian, so unreliable, i’m talking about some mayors, they behaved completely well, it is quite dignified, yes, some oligarchs behaved simply unworthy, like horoshkovsky, who is generally silent, that is, the war reveals who is who, who is the truth, and i think that indeed a lot can be written off, but in the case

of scarlet, what cannot be written off, that is, he can to write off the fact that scarlett supported yanukovych in three elections, that he ran for office from the party of regions, that he even tried to disrupt the elections in mogilanka, this can be written off, but what can be written off, he is a plagiarist, full stop, a person who is a plagiarist cannot be the minister of education and cannot, a priori , she cannot to teach students and schoolchildren that one cannot be a plagiarist. do you understand this a priori, this is a full stop? i want to remind you that in germany the minister of defense was forced to resign because in her was it a man? of defense was forced to resign because plagiarism was found in his dissertation. that is, it was god 's sign when the minister of defense left, and that's why i think

in this case it's not a trifle. i still remember that i spoke with the ambassador of one of the key western countries, which changed its attitude towards us very much, and it was clearly said that which country will be after the victory, or will it return to those practices of the church that have not been eradicated, which were before these behind-the-scenes agreements with the oligarchs and so on , will it finally really rush to europe and become a specter? that is, we all hope that our country will change, we have seen who our elite is , our elite is real, these are simple simple aunts and uncles, boys and girls and our entire society the elite, unfortunately, far from all passed the exam

for this, and that is why it is very important for us what crimea will be like, these are the new hours. from an example, you can give other examples, yes, again, who is currently present at this single information broadcast, who excluded from the unified broadcast information, it means why we have people who took a pro-russian position at the negotiations in istanbul, why does political pr continue during the war ? well, i mean the head of the formal head of our delegation, archamia, who goes by the name of the minister of defense and the deputy minister of foreign affairs, i will not talk about the personnel policy about the advisers of the head of the president's office, this is called the adviser of the head of the president's office and so on, that is, a law is adopted that eliminates such examples

let's say one of the conquests after the orange revolution, that is, in fact, foreigners will not be able to be on the supervisory boards of state-owned enterprises. well, they found that they should come to ukraine, it cannot be online, and so on, that is, in fact, there are. that is, these are still the alarm bells that you listed we have to keep an eye on it once again, this is not to diminish the fact that zelensky is doing great and useful work, but we should not close our eyes to these, let's say, disturbing things that are more than that, we have to talk about it the question is literally the question of the government during the war, if there is anything to criticize, can you or should you wait until victory, this is the main discussion in social networks right now , what and how and how to do it, see now we will say well, they criticized the government a

little and praised it a little criticized it but we did not evaluate, let's say , the actions of the supreme commander-in-chief of the military, our military, and so on . our enemy is here, by the way, again, since you said it, i don't understand how the adviser to the head of the president's office is. well, i'll call his simple name, lord arestovych. first, he explains why in one day, er, it means that the russian troops reached obolon, i'll explain. well so and so and it could not be otherwise in crimea and it could not be otherwise as he begins to tell. and who released the columns from the crimea and says that it was well and then the mother's word goes so well that i also can't understand how it is it is possible to do

open broadcasts, that is, he even comments it is not clear what he is commenting on, that is why i am against our military matters being discussed live on the air, well, in general, on the air, and that it is because it can be used by the enemy, so yes, we can criticize vlad, but very, very carefully, we focus primarily on on unity. so i try to do so and so, although sometimes it doesn't happen completely, sometimes it's difficult, but i try to stick to it and encourage others to do so too. thank you for your comment, we were talking about the three years of the presidency of volodymyr zelensky oleksiy handsome political scientist professor of political science at least three people died as a result of

russian troops shelling a school in severodonetsk. this was reported by the head of luhansk region, serhiy gaidai , what is happening in the city now, how do people there

survive during the war? i don't know, uncle. well, it's not there, give me the company's passport, the bedroom projectile flew, eh, the world and the world, the world, the solution is possible, you can solve the problem as soon as possible, see how it is possible. we all sit here and there, we hold our heads, we sit down, each one of us now, as we pray, we know
