other countries, they simply act when the french and germans don't want to shine themselves, that's why. well, of course, you have to work with everyone, but the key countries. well, in my opinion, these two will depend a lot on the words that will be written in the conclusion of the european commission. which will be on june 17, just the other day, ursula fondularne was for the second time during the full-scale invasion of kyiv, and i know for sure that there is quite a lot of pressure on her from various political leaders in europe in order for the wording to be so vague but she is on the defensive. i hope that the words about ukraine's candidacy will be clearly stated and then it will be easier for us to act politically with the council of

europe . thank you for joining our broadcast. e-e of the european union and our candidate, that is, this status of a candidate for the membership of the european union, we will talk about it in more detail with the minister acting as the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 2006, volodymyr khandogii, he joins our broadcast volodymyr, good night. glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, i still want to correct you, i will not be acting this year. correct, mr. volodymyr. so, why is your position? well , at the beginning of the invasion, we saw something like this in ukraine, and now there is this information that someone there no longer

wants us to be candidates. they call it three countries that will want to, at least at that moment. to vote against the normal position is very simple. i would very much like the european union to give ukraine the status of a candidate at its summit, and we all expect it, the ukrainian people and the ukrainian armed forces, we all want ukraine to receive this status, which gives us the opportunity to integrate some acquisitions membership in the european union. why did this happen? of course, to some extent, there was euphoria among our western friends, who wanted to support in every possible way, including politically, what we managed to achieve at the beginning, namely the european the union accepted the application of ukraine. this is important . for many years, they did not even want to hear about the fact that ukraine will become a member of this organization of the european union in

the future. therefore, consideration of ukraine's application to provide us with a candidate is a very important step that we have overcome very today the situation is developing quickly. let's say it's 50 to 50. i wouldn't like to talk about three countries or about a larger number. but there are forces in the european union, political forces that would like to slow down the process of granting ukraine the status of a candidate, and secondly, the acquisition of membership, remember, a few days ago. a week ago, a member of france, macrovo macron, spoke about tens of years that would be needed for ukraine to become a member of the european union, so we are all waiting for this summit it is very important what the european commission will write in its conclusions, but the tortsova fund

was in ukraine today, she held all the necessary negotiations. i am sure that they explained from all sides the importance and necessity of such a step to me as well it seems that after all, the commission is somewhere positive with a positive recommendation of the european union , namely to grant status, although this is from some sources, we know that two options have been prepared. conditions by the way, i wanted yakymets, these conditions can be a year, several well, actually, it seems to me that all of these, well , first of all, i will say what, in my opinion, are the main conditions for us. for the first time, this is what

ukraine still has a lot of work to do in terms of bringing its domestic legislation to, let's say, the standards of the european union, the fight against corruption is called and so on, and the second such set of problems or the problem is that some european countries have been waiting for a long time to receive such a candidate status and therefore let's say some european countries are already members of the european union, they believe that if ukraine is granted status now, it is to a certain extent, to put it simply, it will be out of line it seems that both the first and second arguments do not withstand any criticism and in my opinion the main problem is a political political decision. i would say the political courage of the country of the leaders of the countries of the european union that in these conditions when

ukraine withstands russian aggression and actually stands and defends freedom and democracy in the whole of europe, such a step is absolutely necessary, and at the same time it is necessary to emphasize absolutely clearly to them that today it is not about membership, i can agree that in order to become a member of the european union we will then need a rather long period of time, but today we are talking about e-e candidacy for membership . and this is primarily recorded in article 49 of the treaty on the formation of the european union without treasures . supposedly , today we are discussing the issue of ukraine's membership in the european court, this is the main thing that concerns the western balkans, because they are standing in line for a long time, so i want to remind you that ukraine declared its readiness

and desire to join the european court back in 1997 the year when we concluded the first agreement on cooperation with the european union. thank you, mr. volodymyr . volodymyr khandogiy, president of the ukrainian foreign policy association and acting minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 2009. thank you, mr. volodymyr . about the front about the front line about our front line but about those who fight not only with weapons a-a in ukraine on june 12, christians of the eastern rite celebrated the holy trinity and celebrated it in particular, and on the front lines, our soldiers helped them in this, chaplains what services should now rule in the trenches, we talk about this with the deputy chief military chaplain of the orthodox church of ukraine dmytro juror p

dmytro good evening glory to ukraine good night studio dobroi daibur ukraine glory to the heroes say please well, how did they celebrate the trinity in the trenches . regardless, this is a great, bright holiday, and i am sure that the appropriate prayers were heard in the trenches. well, they were heard and will be heard, that is, we will not say in the past tense, because they are heard constantly and as you can see in the chaplain service it covers not only the morning, day, but also the night time of the day, before we greeted our soldiers with a prayer, they blessed and consecrated a potion today, but most importantly today they prayed for our native ukraine for our defenders,

please tell me how much is changing in the hands, well now it is difficult to answer these questions because before the active phase and military operations there were 650 from the orthodox church of ukraine now because events are changing very quickly it is difficult to tell how many orthodox churches there are, how many catholic or protestant communities there are, but our chaplaincy family is even more united and motivated, because we know that serving god is serving our people. therefore, we do not have time now to keep any statistical indicators closer to our ukrainian victory. i think we will make it public but the chaplain service continues until now, that is, the kpi. i correctly understood the chaplains

of different faiths, now it is like this. how one and only army serves god, except for representatives of the enemy please tell the moscow patriarchate how active or willing the chaplains are now going to the hottest spots, unfortunately, we don't have more than one. well, actually, we've been in these hot spots since the 14th year. so now the hot phase of the war and the large-scale invasion of muscovites on our god-given land, that is, we walked in the 14th year, we will continue to walk now. actually, our motivation is the same from the 14th year until now, that is, the

service continues. about the chaplain service, but unfortunately it has not come into force yet, because there must be some more coordination under legislative acts. that is, we have served, serve and will serve. and for that, i thank you very, very much for defending our defenders and thus inside the military chaplain of the orthodox church of ukraine was in touch with us there, let's talk about defenders in the information front at the beginning of the full-scale war of russia against ukraine, 33 ukrainian journalists died - these are data from the institute of mass information eight media workers died during the performance of their professional activities, 24 died as participants in hostilities or as a result of russian shelling or torture, however, how ukrainian journalism changed at the beginning of the full-scale offensive

of russia, we spoke with the head of the national council for television and radio broadcasting olga gerasimyuk listen more have a good day mrs. olya good afternoon, the first question is about changes in ukrainian journalism, eh, at the beginning of the full-scale war in ukraine, eh, ukrainian journalism has undergone changes, ah, about some channels united in a single marathon of news, many workers in the mass media went to the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine, the territorial defense, uh, actually, what trends of change in ukrainian journalism do you see, you know, one colleague said, when did it all begin and it began exactly on the morning of the 24th, it was broadcast er, they appeared on the council channel, then everyone connected, and one journalist then said the following phrase: from today, ratings are not important when

your audience is shot, our profession today is frontline information fighters. some people think that it is not it is quite correct to say that a journalist should not be a soldier, but it turns out that all the hot spots of the world have moved to ukraine today, and once our journalists went to war , we saw off one or two of them, they were terribly worried, and there were deaths, i remember them all sorry, but what happened here radically changed the approach to journalism, and all over the world today they say that ukraine is the most dangerous point for the work of journalists . yes, 46 journalists have been killed all

over the world, six of them are in europe only this year, a large-scale invasion began, they record the figure of 32 journalists, 15 wounded, it is not known how many are missing, but i would say that the number we keep repeating here is 32, it is not exactly a number because the war has been going on for 9 years already and those people are our colleagues who died who disappeared who were captured by whom we took away oh someone and no that's all that 's all that you asked about what has become of our journalism our journalism has become the most delicate even the most dangerous profession. although she was among those who were considered such a-a lot of media workers worked in temporarily

occupied territories, some of them had to leave. what is journalism actually like during the occupation and how dangerous is it to work in such conditions? i think that you and i when we will get victory when our armed forces will throw out the aggressor from everywhere, we will learn about a lot of things well, at least we will take trostyanets, the sumy tv company just uh, the head of this company finished her interview with the head of the city, how did she leave it and saw russian tanks on the streets, it was on february 24th, she and her son were working and they immediately started a joint marathon and

gave local news to the runners so that the people in trostyanka who were already surrounded by tanks and murderers were already walking around their yards they did it, they did it in their cellar, they installed a router right there among these tin cans, the guy installed it and searched so that the internet could penetrate to the townspeople so that they knew what was happening. aggressors break the towers, then this signal disappeared - they had to do it for a certain time, you know, they waged such an informational partisan war and partisan resistance .

they went looking for them, they looked for where they came from, they brought them their equipment and their propaganda included and they didn’t have enough and they were looking for these people, you know, no one gave out where they were, they didn’t even know where the studio was, then already when it was people began to look for an opportunity for the two of them because they were in danger, how to leave, how they were already leaving, this is another separate series of the film, how they were missed at all, but they have already returned, they are now already trying to restore broadcasting there everything is crushed , we are now looking for opportunities for them to rebuild this studio, i separately, i can also say about chernihiv, which was, well, this is a heroic city, which everyone knows what kind of blockade they were in, and by the way, journalists did not leave their workplace at all,

which is what chernihiv became in the terrible terrible in the circumstances, they tried anyway, having no gas, having no transport, they moved and filmed everything, they filmed there, there were two cameramen, one among the other, from public broadcasting a1 from new chernihiv, two andrii they said that they were going to work for the sound of where they were shooting, they rushed there, they they filmed evidence of crimes, they filmed just six disabled children, forced them to take crutches and make them run, they filmed witnesses of how to decide, gave people a grenade with this check drawn out in their hands and forced 20 walking with her for days is something that should be announced in the newspaper. that is, this is a feat. i am not talking about the

television company, baby, about the murdered engineer, who was initially released by the rashists, but he hid his son's phone because they took away the phones and he hid it and while they seemed to turn away, he conveyed about the danger that the aggressor was here, that a terrible death had befallen him and him, in which regions is the most critical situation with the work of the snake and in which cities is the abduction taking place, is there a case of abduction editors, well, everywhere. wherever the aggressor entered, everywhere in some cities, our colleagues simply refused to broadcast to berdyansk. there were such examples. they asked us to stop broadcasting, so that

suddenly someone appeared on the air under their brand, that's all so that they would know that this is not ukrainian broadcasting. some disassembled it, as in mariupol, they simply disassembled this technique completely to provide an opportunity to use one zaporizhzhia, kherson region, these are all places now, what is happening in the east is about where it is most difficult for journalists to work like them they are all in on the lists of the orcs, they are under personal danger, their families are somehow trying to help the national council, and our members of the national council are also volunteering because we are also trying to find an opportunity somewhere to restore broadcasting. now it is widespread compared to 2014. you

know, you can’t say this for sure because there are no complete data now, and i’m fine that you’re talking about 2014 because when we’re somewhere like this a long time ago, they honored everyone, well, on journalist's day, they honored our heroes, both the dead and the living, they were awarded, they think that this list of awarded will have to be increased, but hmm, the data is complete. we should not therefore compare. and now it is starting a little bit. then it was ato, so it was not declared as if it was an unofficial war, but what happened on the don, in donetsk region, in donbas, and those people who were cut off from us, they were already going through what

we are going through today everywhere first of a full-scale war in ukraine. many journalists have lost their jobs. commercial media have closed many editorial offices. there are cases of non - payment of funds to employees. our licensees are people with whom we communicate and we all know by name a lot of those who lost their jobs also because of this. of course, we know about it, but here it is important to also know that it is not because this is the release of commercial broadcasters - these things are happening everywhere now because our information space now has very serious problems with

financing, as well as the whole country - it's the economy and the united marathon, for example, big campaigns of state broadcasting, public broadcasting and all they are very well aware of the fact that uh, this uh, media movement, this front is informational, and it really needs financial support, first of all, so i know that companies invested in keeping everyone at work, uh, even those who did not go on the air, who did not serve the daily broadcast, they were all busy with some kind of work, the production is not closed now, we are not currently filming anything, nothing is being produced that goes outside the live broadcast, there is no doubt that

the costs are huge. this is not the first month that we have been trying to draw the attention of the state to this problem, we have sent letters to the cabinet of ministers to the concern that provides broadcasting so that we can ease some of the pressure in financial on e-e on broadcasters so that they can survive, we are now thinking a lot about how to help , we in the national council are turning to our partners in europe, i recently returned to strasbourg and spoke with many people there, and many offer their support, we will play to achieve such financial support, economic and from those countries that are currently taking certain regions under their auspices in order to rebuild them, we appeal to

them so that they also allocate some of their attention to support local broadcasters from unesco we we communicate with each other in order to help with equipment and protection for journalists, so this problem is objective because the war is here, but we think that the information front is the most important thing. although it is the most important thing now, people need to eat and we need someone to work in production and we need you to work as teachers in schools and medicine and say that from this number two we will do everything uh to support these people and by the way regarding the committee uh the meeting of the committee on freedom of speech with your participation he it was actually interesting how the council of europe

is reacting to the situation in ukraine with journalists, it is now persecution, captivity, work in the occupation , first of all, the council of europe expelled the russians completely from its walls, there are no members of any of our committees, of course, too. and this is very important because russia glass delegation in our committee tried to block all decisions related to the fight against disinformation and propaganda . received a message about the work of unified news, they listened to how completely different newsrooms completely different approaches and the state

at the same time united with each other and said that it was just some incredible experience and that it should be studied although , uh, i also told them about that we still how to say that only 100 days ago they were already a little more, but at that time there were 100. they understood everything that we told them about how freedom of speech is being attacked by the russians about what dangerous russian propaganda is about what should be blocked about what it is not aimed only at individuals, and that it poses a threat to the whole of europe, i talked about it ms. olga, thank you for the interview, thank you for your interest, thank you, the head of the national council for television and radio broadcasting, olga gerasimyuk , was with us for the marathon, the only news continues, stay with us to know more

, we will overcome, we will overcome, we will win, and shield news , together we are strong, our heroes from the past, we admire your struggle, we are grateful to you indomitability and independence, fate can win, new heroes continue your valiant cause, honor and glory to those who bravely and fearlessly stop the enemy, to those who give their lives for their native land , to those who tell us who on morse lives in us. the invincible spirit of ukrainian heroes of all generations, here we are fighting for freedom. glory to all, money,

ukrainian heroes, honor and glory. unbreakable fourth month ukraine in opposition, the hordes of non-humans who destroy everything in their path stooped to destroy the very soul of ukraine, its history and culture. in just 100 days of the war, about 370 objects of national heritage were damaged or destroyed, and we have our glorious ukraine with cheerfulness, let the enemy not destroy our culture with all peace, ukrainians stand up to protect cultural values, while the military protects our land, we take care of our museums, we give our music to the world at international charity
