it did not work out either at the political level, the state level, or at the church level, therefore, in the end, everything has to be selected in a rough way, and today there is already a green light for this, so what to do in a situation when the church institution practically supports the war, so , in essence, this is a completely new phenomenon by the way, in the christian world in the 21st centuries, they did not encounter such a thing, even in the conditions when the political power acted there in a reactionary way, the church tried to either distance itself from such steps or even quarreled with the government. by the way, in modern russia, this is also the case happens when it is not about kirill, it became known that the chief rabbi of moscow was simply forced to leave russia because he refused to support the war. but at the same time, when the

communities gathered to elect a new chief rabbi, you know this story, the chief rabbis of israel turned to the believers and demanded leave him in office, he was re-elected despite the fact that he can not be in russia, then nothing happened , you know, the land did not collapse, special forces did not come to disperse these meetings, that is it turns out that when the faithful show the position it can exist, and in the russian orthodox church it did not somehow happen quite differently, there they persecute priests who speak out against the war, and they persecute not only in russia, by the way, they are persecuted even in lithuania, a well-known conflict that there several priests spoke out against the war and they are actually trying to purge them from the church there. well, if we talk in general about the church’s support for the war, then, in principle, there was still a thesis

, there was a doctrine of a just war, the church no denies the people's right to self-defense, i emphasize self-defense well, it's not the same thing, let's say the pope in our conversation, when we actually argued to him that we need weapons for self-defense. he said that i support it. i think even a people that does not defend itself is almost suicidal, that is, you can treat war well , you can approve of it, but what kind of war, and this is the whole delusion of russian propaganda

, that they interpreted an aggressive war as a war of self-defense, so what? m-m e-e nato defense e the west is attacking er poor russia and in general sexual minorities want to invade russia and we need to protect our unique russian er civilization i.e. this distortion is absolutely delusional and contradicts the truth and therefore contradicts christian teaching, so to speak simply interpret it differently. how do you think unity is possible in the ukrainian christian world now after these steps of the ukrainian orthodox church of the

moscow patriarchate because on the one hand we we see there a desire for some kind of independence, on the other hand, the main struggle is still with the ptu and not with the rpc, and this is also somewhat surprising. there is also an inertia here. i think not only in the heads of the responsible persons, but in the pigeons in general in our believers. in general, it is difficult for us to get rid of our established stereotypes, but the war very, very accelerates the processes, and i want to believe that if we preserve this, our, this, our desire for light, for good, if we do not become like russia, then, uh, we will come out of the war with

many things that hindered us before the war have changed spiritually peel off, but we don't have a guarantee of that, we have to work on it spiritually in the er human rights plane now you know problem after problem and i thought that this sentence against the er foreign military who fought for ukraine in donetsk already shows that russia can invent any new scenery, you know, there is no official death kava in russia. by the way, the russian constitutional court banned the death sentence in 2009. it is not just a moratorium, it is a decision of the constitutional court, but you can invent a supreme court of the dpr that can do whatever you want, and tomorrow the court of the lpr will be brought up to the point of burning. and what a

sovereign state in it, such legislation is burned at the stake. according to russian legislation, all this is condemned, and here it is simply something incredible, yes , in fact, and in this way, russia is still trying to force the world to recognize the independence of these republics and their e subjectivity e-e i think that all this will be resolved in the plane that will eventually take the position of the west in relation to russia, i have the impression that the west still e-e does not want to admit that it

is not possible to negotiate with russia conclude a cease-fire, but you cannot carry out negotiations , counting on the fact that she will keep her promises. i don't know how many other animals or crimes or violations of international law are needed in order for us to realize, for the whole world to realize , that putin thereby wants to present himself as the a person who rearranges chess, who has the right to even overturn the chessboard if he does not like the arrangement of the pieces, he does it and forces him to recognize this right, so if the west

recognizes this right for him, and it will be a fatal defeat for the west, then we will have a decisive change in general, the format of the entire world politics. i just even want to allow this uh and that's why i call for that, in the end, you know, such things are such blatant violations of international law uh, in some such form. they even help us because they add to us arguments why we can convince the west to change its attitude towards russia, and you think that russia itself somehow wants negotiations, i don’t have a particular impression of that at the moment no, russia wants a new yalta, there should be negotiations, but regarding the division

of spheres of influence, it wants to stake out its territory, preferably within the framework of the widest scope of the historical russian empire and everything will already be played in the world according to the rules established by russia. thank you, mr. miroslava. of the helsinki group, vice-rector of the ukrainian catholic university myroslav marinovych, we talked with him about such an urgent situation in the christian world and about the very important trip of mr. myroslav, together with two activists from ukraine, to pope francis, which can be said in the first in such a long the conversation at the public level is devoted to the situation in our country and the russian-ukrainian war. now, as i

promised, i will answer these questions that have already come to this interactive whether biden is right when says that zelensky ignored his warning about the invasion of russia, if he had really ignored it, where would we be now? asks anastasia, well, first of all , it is absolutely obvious that our country was at war with russia for 8 years even at the time of the warning by the american president, here the question of ignoring is not ignoring in any case , you and i must always remember that uh, we already had a line of contact. we already had an administrative line of the administrative border with crimea on this territory all the time there were provocations and shelling tried to settle all this, it was not settled, in any case, we had

a strong group in donbas, it is possible, er, all this will have to be discussed after the war, there could be an underestimation of the intentions of the north or the south, but this is again a matter of underestimation or simply impossibility in certain areas in the areas of the future front to prepare, and then there is a rather important question: to what extent did ukraine have the opportunity to obtain modern weapons, then, if there was a clear understanding from the west that ukraine would be attacked, why did all this supply of weapons begin only after the start of the war, and not in the first days , because on the one hand they were so warned, and on the other hand there was uncertainty because ukraine would exist a few days after the russian attack, that is, they were not just warned, there was an underestimation of ukraine, an overestimation of russia, and that is why we are there where are we because it also happened and i think that this whole situation needs to

be considered in a complex way but i think that the real contours of this situation will be understood only after the end, it is still far from that it is a long it is quite a complicated process, we have to learn to live in war. it can continue for some time, we don't know how long, olga. good day. please tell how citizens can control the actions of the government during martial law, which by law provides for certain restrictions on e-laws- another question. how are you? do you feel about the law on weapons for civilians? i think that citizens need to control the actions of the authorities in accordance with the legislation that is in force during martial law, so there are certain restrictions on freedoms, but they do not apply to the control of the actions of the authorities, and even more so when it comes to the local government, the local government , the fight against corruption, all anti-corruption structures, they work, all of this exists,

mass media exist, we don't even have military censorship on what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, how, what, what, what, and how we must all preserve this national unity around the state and its institutions, but this does not mean that there should be no control. i have a negative attitude to the law on weapons for civilians. i think that in the state in which ukrainian society is if people will have weapons like that in their hands without real control over these weapons, the situations in the united states will be much more frequent, we will have shootings not only in schools , but also in supermarkets, people will solve their problems with the help of weapons after the number of victims among the civilian population in our country will be dangerously high because there is no such culture of conflict resolution, then this law will be repealed even if weapons are given to people, but those who will die will be these children and schoolchildren and students, and you will not turn back how you

comment on the rapid unopposed takeover by russia of the south of ukraine without kherson to mariupol that this is treason on the military leadership committee is something else what should be the consequences of these failures in the defense of the country i do not understand what you mean without opposition we saw this resistance in the south as well, and even more so in mariupol, where it all continued for tens of days. i am very surprised when we are constantly looking for weapons, it is a war of wars, someone wins, someone is defeated, someone resists, this resistance can be long long may not be very long may continue as it continued on azov steel because it is a war there is no need in the course of the war to always look for betrayal it seems to me that this is a completely incorrect understanding of the situation in the war always someone loses to things are not necessarily

that even the one who lost it in general got rid of statehood is necessarily guilty because there may be situations when this or that state was like that during the second world war, when states disappeared from the political map of the world. a force that he cannot simply overcome, it can be not only political mistakes, but simply different power potentials, we know that the ukrainian armed forces, one way or another, met with a large army and with a country that was preparing to destroy ukraine from the beginning of the 2000s on in different directions . and that she used the moment that seemed to vladimir putin to be the moment to shout that the weakening of the ukrainian state, that fortunately for us, was that putin underestimated the situation in ukraine and how the ukrainian people treat the invaders and the state the readiness of the ukrainian armed forces, but it is obvious

that the situation could have developed differently in different directions for completely different reasons, which will need to be investigated after the end of the war, which could be long, and then when the war ends, we will understand exactly which territories, with what number of people, in what economic situation the post-war ukrainian state is functioning, it will be hard times, hard times, i will tell you right away, then we have to deal with every fragment of the war, but it is impossible to deal with the fragments of the war in emotional perception, when we do not have all the completeness of information, were you there at the front or was i there in action, this is the front we do not even have this information from it and we should not have it, if i had my way, we would introduce military censorship in the media, precisely the military censorship single marathon you would create and introduce military censorship for all tv channels that are on the air, because the existence of marathons without military censorship is a mistake. even in this

situation, when there is no military censorship, i hope that we know not everything. because if you and i know everything means that the enemy knows everything. well, what is not clear here is that there is no war without military secrets, what institution, institutional changes are of primary importance now for ukraine, for ukraine now the primary priority is to win this war and restore its territorial integrity. these are absolutely obvious things that need to be thought about now, now for the ukrainian people there is one main task is to survive, there is a war for the survival of the ukrainian people, now some other tasks are secondary and tertiary, i always said and now i can repeat that even you who are the president of this country would be a certain viktor yanukovych. and

ukraine was attacked on this country. it would still be a flagrant violation of international law, and this country should be protected by the world anyway, because this is a fragment of the preservation of international law. the essence is not even in ukraine, but in the fact that if international law collapses, then all issues in the world begin to be resolved from the standpoint of strength sooner or later this world disappears because there is an exchange of strategic nuclear strikes and a hundred million people simply disappear as if they never existed, why are they needed then absolutely so what is in this in terms of the plan, we are now with you at a more unimportant distance. i would say that this is the distance of ukrainian development, which can, of course, if we do not join the north atlantic union, continue for decades, this is a permanent military conflict with the russian federation, as a state that believes that ukraine is a separatist entity from russian lands under occupation of the west and will do everything possible and

impossible to seize these territories. and we have their plans to destroy these territories, to save our land, to liberate this is the main task of the ukrainian of the people, if the ukrainian people need their own state, if they do not want the territory that in 1991 became the territory of independent ukraine, after paying off for a free existence in the ukrainian ssr , again became the territory of historical russia, says vladimir putin this is not going to happen and now the question of wall changes there is no need to invent a bicycle ahead of ukraine, the european, euro-atlantic integration, they will tell you about all the changes like a questionnaire. the european commission did not give us a questionnaire regarding the receipt of applications for these the questions were answered. if these answers are recognized as arbitrary, ukraine will receive the status of a

candidate for membership of the european union in a few days. economy and about freedom of speech and about and about the judicial system, everything will be written as everywhere , it will simply be necessary to take and do take and do daily homework and with nato for sure since the copenhagen criterion is to take and perform take and perform take and perform do not even try to doubt defend national interests, of course when it comes to the interests of producers when it comes to other interests and in all other matters do not even open your mouth take and perform those who do not wants to execute, expel from positions in 24 hours, said no, go

away - that's it. that's all. there are walls of change, our european allies will tell you everything. if we want to be part of the european union, we don't want to. a suitcase at the moscow station they will tell you everything there that needs to be done as well that's all and we will be a sovereign state with the right civilized living conditions like all countries in the european union well of course if we don't want to be democratic then we won't then after we enter we will try to destroy everything like some countries our neighbors do it, but this is after admission. after admission, i will give you money for reconstruction. after that, you will be able to become a post-soviet author again . they will give with such a person, i did not speak to kernes, yes, the

bill on the cancellation of the recognition of the independence of lithuania from september 6, 1991, which was submitted to the state duma, means something, no, it does not mean anything, do not pay attention, it is true, a local madman who wants to draw attention to himself, then everyone is now a hero he is not a hero, the russian state duma cannot cancel the decision of the state council of the soviet union because there is no soviet union, or is the collective event afraid of the victory of ukraine, another delusion , do not pay attention to such conversations because with russia convenient, predictable, omnipresent and co-existing, inconvenient and unpredictable to exist with russia, don't invent these propagandist children's narratives again, and ukraine as a subject and in the status of winners looks at least unpredictable. if it takes ten years to restore the economy of a foreign country, do you seriously think that ukraine, which is restoring its territorial integrity after

of a heavy war. this is the richest country in europe. ukraine. the neighborhood is a civilized measure, like the world, like in russia, the outskirts of asia. here we are on a journey of civilization. we will be further in the center . our destiny is to be on the outskirts of europe. this is how the geography of ukraine looks like. the winner will simply defend its right to receive money . from the west to recovery, to carry out reforms for years, to be the poorest country in europe for years. what are you talking about? where will the border of europe pass and everything is our task with you, you will stay on the outskirts of europe and not find yourself on the outskirts of asia in the center we will not be like this the globe looks like in the center of other countries they will always be in the center we will always be on the outskirts because that is where

asia begins if we we want to be in the center. it is necessary for russia to become a european state and then it will be on the outskirts of europe. and we are somewhere in the far east, so to speak, and there will be no outskirts. but i think that european russia is still 40-50 years away if we are not on it they will calculate, you and i will not see it. so all these conversations that the west is afraid of something, that the west predicted does not exist from russia, the west has already understood everything about the regime of vladimir putin, so do n't make things up for yourself, anti-ukrainians, anti- european propaganda is part of the pro-russian propaganda of every dad says, unfortunately, he does not realize what kind of world we will live in after victory and how much support money we will need in order to survive. thank you, friends, for these questions, they are great and interesting. of my colleagues from the france 24 channel will break

through the fence in the city of bucha in the kyiv region with flowers that have already bloomed with flowers to conquer the traces of the war because they helped the monks canadian volunteer ivan kosiolkovska will tell you more about her soon my colleagues in the report that you will see now and i say goodbye to you and see you more ivanka and the flowers she paints on these fences are not just street art, they are a symbol of the revival of the ukrainian city of bucha in early april ukrainian troops entered bucha after it had been occupied for more than a month by the russian army, the city looked terrible, the streets were filled with the bodies of the killed, the mass graves were turned into ashes, the buildings were traces of torture and murder, but ivanka tried to return the city to

joy by painting over the bullet holes that reminded of the violence. she is from canada, but has ukrainian roots, when the full-scale invasion began, she went to poland to help refugees for more than a month she worked as a volunteer in the cities of ukraine i met a man named sasha he lost his son and his home in the bombing destroyed the house and my son died defending bucha he said that for him there is no more joy in this city that's why he is leaving he can't even walk down his street they remind him of the loss so i looked at the fence there were many, many bullet holes i couldn't fix it but i thought what i could do to leave this man with a last pleasant memory i asked him what was his son's favorite flower or what was his favorite flower at that moment we were standing in his yard he looked down at the daffodils that grew literally in the ashes and he said we love daffodils. that's when i started

painting these flowers. that's where it all started. a neighbor across the street wanted the same flowers, and then another neighbor . i painted almost the entire neighborhood with flowers. i made friends with everyone. it was nice to leave this last memory for them. according to the local authorities, they found at least four articles of people killed and tortured it prompted an investigation into russian war crimes two months after the world learned of the mass killings the city is slowly returning to normal life when i arrived, i expected to see traces of atrocities , i was on yablonska street, which suffered the most from the horrors of the occupation, tanks were stationed there, almost everything was bombed, they were even there, some of those houses have already been repaired and fences have been painted, and with the help of volunteers, roofs have been replaced almost everywhere they did not burn to the ground, i was

amazed to see that there is no such force that could stop these people, you know this project, i started with an attempt to make one man smile, but during the drawing i saw how many passed passed by and their mood immediately lifted it was good to see that ukraine is not going to give up and let the russians take over this video was filmed near the prison in salvatore these people hope to find out if their relatives are being held inside these kinds of situations are not uncommon in this central american country more than 35,000 people have been arrested since the end of march, when the government declared a state of emergency to curb gang violence after a wave of killings, the government claims that all those they arrested are members

gangs, but non-governmental organizations say that innocent people were also detained. we spoke with a criminal lawyer who provides free assistance to family members of detainees since the introduction of the state of emergency. we helped about three hundred people who turned to us for legal advice in cases against those arrested. they were all released these arrests were arbitrary and illegal they just wanted to increase the number of people because those arrested had nothing to do with gangs besides the police and military broke in to people's homes and workplaces and arresting them without a warrant they have deprived them of their right to legal protection for example they do not allow us to access their files and

find out what court proceedings are going on it is also important to note that previously the defendants had the right to a hearing within 72 hours of their arrest now due to the state of emergency, this time was theoretically extended to 15 days. but in reality there are people who have been held for more than a month, their relatives do not know where they are, they do not even know if they are alive or not, because they are prisoners they are beaten hard, and some of them have already died, so these people are gathering outside the prisons, hoping that someday their loved ones will be brutalized. on may 9, the authorities admitted that 168 arrested had no connection with gangs, these people were released, but the government has not yet received new data
