painting style named after a town in the dnipropetrovsk region. in ancient times, the walls of houses, jugs and other dishes were painted in this way the participants of the master class painted with flowers the blue heart that symbolizes ukraine and also depicted the viburnum bushes and the blue-yellow flag of those who wanted to paint. there were so many people who wanted to paint that there were barely enough brushes for everyone. this is really our pride. our ukrainian painting is a painting that appeared at the end of the 18th century. century and it is relevant and is still used and it is admired and this intangible neglect of unesco is a unique technique of a uniquely feline pension which is no longer used by any technique and the soul pulled i reached out to try myself in this creativity , informational creativity, well, there are so many of them, we didn’t

a deputy of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, the fifth president of ukraine, the leader of the party of european solidarity, petro poroshenko, came to the studio. congratulations . you are going to vilnius for the parliamentary special nato. by the way, for the session that was supposed to take place in the ukrainian capital, it was supposed to be an unprecedented event, unfortunately, during the war, it moved to the lithuanian capital, but i will tell you that i was in freedom at the nato parliamentary assembly when no one even thought that lithuania, latvia, estonia would join the union, there were such conversations in russia never this will not be allowed, it is impossible, we came simply to support them and they entered. here we have such a chance of integration in general, real, first of all, thank you very much for inviting me, secondly, i think that in order to have a chance, you have to believe in it, i emphasize that in my time presidency. i had no doubts about ukraine's membership in the eu, and we included it in the constitution regarding ukraine's membership in nato and regarding the visa-free tomos, the signing of the association agreement, and

many other things. i want to emphasize that we must break the fears of individual nato member countries annoying putin because the only two recipes for winning over putin are not to be afraid of putin and not to trust him, believe, trust, decide for yourself. as soon as someone tries to stop ukraine, it must be said that another tool, another mechanism, other security guarantees on the continent physically do not exist, so i am very skeptical. "i am diplomatically speaking towards negotiations regarding any formats of ukrainian security guarantees outside of nato after russia

invaded ukraine in the 14th year as a member of the council security of the united nations permanent affairs veto it destroyed the entire post-war security system and there is no other effective model of the room i.e. when prime minister johnson says that a new union should be created great britain ukraine in poland the baltic countries he is not saying this about security he this tells about the economy, which i hope we will talk about today. and about security, i emphasize that there is no alternative and we will not be stopped by orbs, and we have to develop a mechanism that nato will do more effective, nato should learn from russia's aggression against ukraine in order to become more effective , and when you talk about the economy, you still think that the urban union is an alternative, an ally will

be . for some time there will be such a union, but then why is it in the european union, because i think the problem is how a great friend of ukraine and a person who knows boris johnson very well explains it , because he said that it will be like a european union associations of free trade in the european coal and steel association, that is, those countries that are not members of the european union, which seek to support ukraine, have corresponding regimes with the countries of the european union. do they think that something like this will be organized? membership of ukraine in the eu, there are no alternatives to ukraine's membership in nato , and therefore, starting from tomorrow, i will try to

with the leadership of the nato member countries, i will emphasize that there is no alternative to nato, no one has the right to stop us, the nato summit in madrid must be historic for three reasons, the first reason , finland, the second reason, sweden, the third reason - ukraine and if putin wanted how is he there argued that nato's borders should be moved away from russia so that, as he said, the missile's flight time to the kremlin was no more than four minutes. less, but i emphasize that nato must demonstrate its maturity. i do not see any doubt that sweden and finland will be accepted already on today, there are the first signs that turkey and these two countries have found a compromise with the appropriate support of the united states and other countries. today , nato is talking about ukraine and whether there is a plan. i hope that by 16

there will not even be a language. about the life and existence of every ukrainian and the existence of the ukrainian state, the importance of this decision for us should not be underestimated because, although history does not tolerate conditional inclinations, if in 2008 in bucharest, ukraine would have received an action plan regarding member, and if we had made members by the 13th year, there would not have been this war, there would not have been illegal annexation of crimea, there would not have been tens of thousands of dead ukrainians, and there would not have been a situation where the world is now not just on the brink of a terrible global economic crisis, but on the eve of the food crisis and the threat of famine, according to the united nations organization, for 20% of the population of the earth in this situation, er, against the background of this

possible crisis, do you not feel a certain fatigue from er war among european and western politicians? we hear these all offers we need to come to an agreement, we need to save putin's face , we need to sit down at the negotiating table in two months, these are different people talking, but people with authority and surnames, we can't even name them, but we understand that these people have great authority in the western political elites, fortunately, no one now they can't agree on that because of the war, vitaly, there are no shades of gray, there are no positions in the russian narrative today, so unambiguously. let 's analyze, let's see how to develop. understand, no one has any illusions about russia regarding its future behavior, everyone absolutely believes that

if ukraine falls, then tomorrow members of nato and the members of the european union will definitely knock on the door of any country, and therefore, by investing, we have changed the narrative. during negotiations or during interviews with foreign media i say helping asus to save you help us save you we don't we don't need your soldiers but we need powerful and effective weapons to stop russia if it doesn't stop in ukraine he will definitely stop in other countries of europe and here today i am very happy that if there are votes in very few countries of members there are sabonato who say that no no no let's wait everyone who washed let's let ukraine surrender part of the territory, let ukraine give up its sovereignty

, let ukraine meet. let's help putin save face. you are already familiar with these theses, and you are familiar with them. dear tv viewers, that's it . energy sanctions and before their arguments, we conducted a very thorough study of the audit reports of gazprom, i found for myself, well, at least with a question mark, a terrible figure, because in the report of gazprom within three and a half four billion dollars per year, they provide for consulting services on the conditions of transportation of russian gas as to you, this is political corruption, but it was interesting that such expenses were spent on ukrainian politics, why absolutely, and this is not the 22nd - it is, uh, all the years of gazprom's existence, and when we

saw it, i then wanted to check it because i i found a russian-language report and then wanted to see an english-language report vitaliy, you can imagine that there is no such thing in english. similarly, and what to report about the fact that there may be a question, that's the question i have for today. and to which countries do these three and a half billion dollars a year go ? which of the political parties will receive funding and only one july or maybe another maybe in other countries maybe in our neighbors and maybe then the political position of these countries is explained by political bribery that comes at the expense of funds of the russian federation and they finance politicians, they finance the mass media, they finance analytical centers that remember when i signed the association agreement, then yanukovych azarov and others were supplied with analytical conclusions that the

association agreement would cost ukraine 160-180 billion dollars, remember today, the same or the same analytical centers prepare reports and claim that as soon as europe announces an embargo on the supply of oil from russia, the entire european continent will be destroyed. this is a lie. ready to carry out because russia affects a small percentage of the world gas market and the world market of oil products, and in terms of oil products, we are definitely able to block russian exports, this will mean that it is not only the pipeline that we have to stop in terms of pumping through ukraine, but also the tanker fleet the commercial fleet and today the world is capable of stopping e.e. russian exports e.e. by water transport, which today makes up to 80% of russian exports, and then if

more than 200 billion dollars come to russia out of 550 billion dollars, the war will quickly to end, i want to turn to ukrainian issues first of all. we talked about the need to ensure national unity in the first days after the war at the beginning of the war. do you think it was possible to ensure it at the political level ? i don't know today, but in the first two months, you know why those who used to be big talkers got scared and sometimes it helps, but i am very impressed that i have repeatedly said that we met with zelenskyi on february 24 at the bank and it was very important to me that he came, we shook hands and said that we we start with a blank sheet and now we have the only

enemy putin and we have no questions for each other and i am glad that we uh-uh held this handshake crook long enough until the helpful idiots returned from the polish boilers and the carpathian forests where they the majority decided to demonstrate their need because they do not agree on anything else and began to destabilize the middle unity because what was unity starting from february 24 it was what we surprised the world with what we accused surprised putin putin hoped that ukraine will explode from the middle, they gave him no chance, and together with the armed forces of ukraine, they were strong. neither he, nor the world, nor nato, underestimated me

. - in the end, it turned out even today if the unarmed forces of ukraine, no world solidarity separately , no money, no other factors, including unity, would not have stopped putin and would not have broken the spine near kyiv, near chernihiv, near sumy, near poltava , where the armed people came out against the aggressor how do you reacted to viktor medvedchuk's accusations that were made public by the sbu, is this the theme of unity or the theme of the continuation of various investigations there, and uh, i 'm going to take a stand your name was commented by repeating

the words of the prosecutor general of lyubeshivka, this is legal trash. he said this exactly about this, or was something new found? for the last 8 years there. it was niki anishchenko , who is now a proven fsb agent and is hiding in russia. it was nikkyi derkach. it was also an fsb agent hiding in russia against both of them. sanctions were applied. i don't know what his fools are talking about. well, they are already putting forward these snowdrops all the time, the only thing that is missing now is putin's testimony and patroshov's testimony, they may not say much, but i have one russian position - not everything is so unambiguous, russia must be investigated yes, four years, three and a half years of investigation,

you have already conducted all the examinations. if you need to know, there are very effective bodies in the world that work not through a press conference, but, for example , a fatwa that determines who owns a particular legal entity. you asked this a long time ago. you received answers from them and you know that you are lying, and that is why i am interested in only one thing now, and i do not rule out that i will ask the lawyers to make a request to the prosecutor general of the dbr who is investigating, please ask mr. bakana, because i would really like to know i want to know the heroes of this stand, the director, the producer, the screenwriter, the author of the texts, the lighting operator, the cameraman, and others, let the country know its heroes, tell me your last name in another context of political accusations, now uh, this statement of the synod of the

ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate was mentioned these weeks, they said that exactly your religious politics led to those consequences will be received in relation to this church and to the war, well, what, well, first of all, these are the characters, i want to thank the hay to this church, because similar attention to my modest of the operating room from the synod of the hostile kadebian association, this is like a hero of ukraine and for me, you know, i don't know for sure whether i deserved it, but if they already recognize it, then it's not for nothing that the only issue we raised was kirill who blessed the killing of ukrainians , he blessed not just the war and did not react on the genocide in bucha, mariupol, chernihiv, okhtyrka, gostomel, vorzel, irpene, i see it
