for example, the last century seems like a millennium since 54, if i'm not mistaken, i perfectly understand the level of the european bureaucracy and in this case we perfectly understand that this is the starting point. but in order to start a full-fledged process of joining the european union, we need to start with a specific bureaucratic procedures and candidacy for membership of the european union, this is the beginning of this bureaucratic procedure. you are talking about turkey. and by the way, recently erdoğanbertse reminded eh. but nevertheless, i think that we can go through this path of joining there

within , well, relatively speaking, this ten years ago, eh. meet all the copenhagen criteria, they are very clear, they are written de facto, when will we comply there, when will our legislation correspond to european legislation, if it will be harmonized with european legislation, when will this issue be removed from our country? he is applying, for example, for us to

appoint, for example, the head of the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office, which has not been appointed for two years, that is, one meeting of this commission is needed to do this, instead the president's office is blocking it for some reason, it is not known why i i think that by the 17th we have time to gather this commission and finally elect the head of the sap and this also applies to other issues of democratization, including freedom of speech. including as a restriction of freedom of speech, and on the example of your channel, this is not a very good signal for the european wind commission. thank you, thank you for your support. i am the only one

who will correct you . year then to her this status was granted at the summit of the european council in helsinki, although only 3% of the territory of turkey formally belongs to europe, the other 97 are still asia. people's deputy of ukraine yaroslava is already with us, we congratulate you. well, let's take this topic with you and continue , but denmark is there. clear tasks and as an anti-corruption prosecutor appointed by freedom of speech, what are your forecasts regarding the european union on june 23-24? it should take place

in brussels. personal forecast, it is based on the knowledge of certain insiders, but i will not say that i am 100% sure, but more loudly, yaroslav, so that we can hear you, i would, after all, it is calculated that the decision will be positive for ukraine. i believe that this will be a huge victory for the ukrainian people and an incentive to, er, eliminate the russian accent from our land even faster, and i hope that on june 17 there will be a positive decision by the european commission , and then on the 23rd-24th, maybe plus or minus one day and a positive decision will be published as to whether

ukraine has fulfilled all the requirements, it frankly tells me that there are many shortcomings that still need to be corrected, but let's not forget that compared to many countries that received candidates for the eu, ukraine it is much better prepared and that is also true. yes, we do not have a sufficiently important element of the anti-corruption infrastructure, a special anti-corruption prosecutor, we all know who is blocking. well , there is no need to repeat it here, but believe me for the sake of the european union. well, in any government in the future, there will not be any uh-uh even m-m opportunities at least somehow yes there to break away from these reforms and will appoint and appoint when they will appoint the national anti-corruption bureau and vote on the necessary changes corporate governance everything everything everything that we need to share information with you after june 18. if there is a positive decision, the

ukrainian parliament will meet and is full of european integration laws necessary for our entry into the eu, including the anti-corruption strategy . here the expectations are positive, this in no way relieves us from the responsibility of moving faster , regardless of international requirements and circumstances, it's just that the first thing is necessary, first of all, it is necessary for of the people of ukraine to fight corruption and laundry and to adapt the legislation but nevertheless, i believe that we have a great chance and i simply cannot imagine how to explain to our citizens why europe in such a difficult time for ukraine is so unusual in world history as a war on the european continent, a full-fledged war, a war of aggression , why could europe even consider the possibility

of rejecting ukraine, how to explain to our citizens that for two years no anti-corruption prosecutor has been appointed, it is not so difficult. the competition was held, but these are also objective reasons why we are being fingered. well, i would tell you the truth, because as soon as the anti-corruption prosecutor is appointed, he will immediately put some corrupt people in prison, and no government will praise him for that. listen, i remember how the anti-corruption court was also accepted a lot. there were different officials of different levels who blocked it, but not for nothing, not for the sake of cooperation with the imf, for the sake of the position on the european union and not the loss of the visa-free visa , it was accepted like bunnies by the people's votes mps had 300 or so votes. therefore, once again, the desire of local corrupt people to keep their uh

savings, not obtained by dishonest means, or to somehow further increase their wealth at the expense of ukrainian citizens, it very strongly uh, let's say, interferes with anti-corruption reforms, but believe me, the wives of the corrupt is not able to stop it, so i 'm sure it means, well, vitaliy shampoo today seems to have written that five minutes were enough to gather a committee there to confirm the results of the competition that took place six months ago on december 21 - to announce there is no winner of the questions, but it’s still the same from this, he doesn’t do this, so there are some reasons why we don’t know the surname of tatarova, is it or is this the secret of polishchuneliya, that he manages this competition, friends? well, everything is clear to you right on the air i say that he does not want to appoint because this person will later imprison corrupt officials , including officials

. well, if it happens with officials who were cool with european integration. they can ask the team. there is nothing there now, but they can tell you enough about how society reacts to such things, and miroslava. today, denys doroshenko , the deputy director of the ukravtodor road development department, joined us and said that the program is a big construction is completely closed, but where did the money go, well, he does not know , it is not the function of the thief to redistribute money to other expenses, items of expenses, you as a people's deputy can say well, what amount is there was it and where is it now redirected, is the ukrainian program of big construction at all there, is the ukrainian program of the president now suspended in general, is it still being cultivated somewhere, is being developed, no, it is not working, because it is

correct to tell you that we stand in for the deputy , look at the program of big construction, it is called beautiful on bigboardy, in fact, it’s uh, in relation to there, there is a line of budgets received for construction , maintenance, to support roads, something like that, within the framework of the 2022 budget, 90 plus certain things were borrowed that were, well, conditionally, let us there let's take 100 billion so that it was simplified, as soon as martial law was voted, the government together, with the approval or at the initiative of the president, they are the managers of the budget, that is, they can redistribute it and all capital expenditures, there is no way around it, they are one way or another were also collected from the ukravtodor, well, in general, from this line of the budget, respectively, transferred to military needs. there was approximately a redistribution of 180 billion and precisely the program of this great construction. one of the

main donors is conditionally because it is 100 billions there are not many, see for example well , first of all, in our country in january and february, they do not build very much at all, well, they build me in this, we don’t see a video of how they are trying to lay asphalt in the snow, but in principle, i have not seen such a thing recently, but - the second was that there were no funds at that time. that is why the only expenditure on roads is that it is very limited - it is service of old debts or payment already for carrying out work, there is nothing, well, he frankly says that there is nothing bad, the whole parliament agreed, there was not a single objection, nothing i am wrong about this, because when we talk about road construction, as now, i emphasize road construction, not small construction. yes, there is a program, but it is there, but it is very reframed conditionally, when in buch

or in irpin they are repairing a crossing or a bridge across a river or something. - a very difficult situation with the roads, that's why there are minor expenses, friends, we have budgets hmm trouble, to put it mildly yes, there is another word. urgent, that is, on defense capability, look, there is no more. where to take several months and redistribute, see. we spend in may, we spent 250 billion uah. 250, for understanding , during peacetime, when there was a large construction, all the specifics of the day that the government likes to impose

on the budget, we had 120 billion is now 250 per month , of which 120 billion is direct military spending, and a huge amount is social welfare, well, in principle, this budget ends debt service. at best, it is customs, tax, other expenses . well, there is no privatization there now, therefore, in principle , customs and tax in general, we took another 27 billion, they gave us budget support. calculate 107 billion - for 250 billion, we have a budget shortfall of approximately 150 billion a month, which is one and a half times more than for all year there was a lot of construction. that's why everything that was possible was already redistributed. they cut the salaries of people's deputies in half. i don't know that

a huge number of people are now being reduced in state enterprises and will be reduced. well believe the situation really hard enough, so when you ask where we can get ah here, two ways one of the one of the exact no one will make this reduction but when we have uh, well, these external borrowings are conditionally not enough, as it was in may , the norm of 150 billion is needed, 27 billion was taken, then you see in the news that the national bank bought bonds for 70 billion, friends, this is a friend of money , we are establishing from this acquaintance poorer that's why we need to twist populism a little bit about talk about counting numbers a-a and er-e doing everything is possible everything is possible in order for er-er our

international partners to give us more until the next aid and here what exactly i er-er know how to do it the recipe is very simple, that is, to immediately appoint the head of the sap and all the laws that need to be passed, well, to really show that ukraine will be completely different after the war and all their fears there about corruption, everything there about, well, let's say in my case such quick reforms that they are useless and for this we we can already make decisions now. nothing prevents us from passing laws as a parliament according to a complex norm after the war, it is conditional, so they want state enterprises to be managed better without any questions, let's pass the law, it is already ready, is everything written and so on, but it comes into effect after the war, it's all theirs a guarantee that they will no longer steal money from state-owned enterprises, interestingly, better about state-owned enterprises, i just wanted you to comment on the situation last friday

, which happened in just one day the climax and denouement and the finale are tragic or, on the contrary, comedic, it is not clear. oleksiivna kucherenko, people's deputy, your colleague on friday published a screenshot of documents that testified that the former head of the state gas company of ukraine, oleg didenko, had advised the head of naftogaz to register for himself such a modest car bentley worth 500,000 dollars after that, the reaction of the head of naftogaz , yurya vitryanka. naftogaz was informed almost immediately that oleg didenko was dismissed from his position, the reasons for the explanation well, the perch is not commenting in the company, what this story shows, what conclusions did you personally draw for yourself, that is, i understand that in our country you can simply fire any state official without any explanations and, well, not to comment in any way, as if everything

was done correctly, but i i understand that we have more than one such oleg didenko. we have a lot of state-owned enterprises where the management earns crazy money and i can afford, in particular, a bentley or well, the same didenko there, according to what oleksiy kucherenko bought for himself last fall gelendwagen cubic mercedes there for $300,000 and i used it very actively, i drove it to the entire meeting, what are your conclusions from this story, please, which are personal , uh, well, first of all, let's go there, there is a legal part, there is a conditionally political, adequate part, let's start with the last one, well, look, during the war surely any such purchases are understood, well , to put it mildly, not very adequate. i'm not talking about , in principle, yes, there is such a purchase, but you probably need to look at how it should be perceived in general. well, there 27.05 yes

i'm sorry, didenko himself said that he bought this bentley cheaply in order to then give it to his colleague in germany at a higher price and send the difference, of course, to the armed forces of ukraine, that's what it was like, well, at least his formal explanation, i ask you to listen to the vat, the law decided wash, i will tell you honestly, we as a tax committee did not accept tax benefits for importing cars for this reason, but they are not interested. look well, once again well, inadequate, yes , i just imagine how people from my hometown of mariupol spend their time hearing now our air is there, but only they have a feeling, in principle, such an event as regards legal matters, he was an adviser as far as i remember

. other such things because then it saw it not from the news of mr. kucherenko but from his electronic declaration well, therefore, it would have been reflected there somewhere, it was nothing less than in peacetime ago, well here what can i say i think that it was desirable that the law enforcement agencies they paid attention and asked where such money came from, maybe he is a prodigy, maybe he is the owner of the facebook share or the pressure, uh, and he earned everything correctly, well, he decided to spend his money like that, well, well, well, they work for us, uh, simple people of a state company well, this question is not a political question of law enforcement agencies, well, that is, after all, about europe, yes, for your comments, the most interesting thing is that these prodigies are not hired in

private companies, they are hired only in state ones in a key position, that's why yaroslav zheleznyak people's deputy of ukraine commented well, it is possible in the state, there is no profit, give us subsidies from the state at the expense of taxpayers, we do n't have enough for a bentley, volodymyr shcheyko is with us , director general of the ukrainian institute at the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine, expert in sculptural diplomacy , cultural management, marketing and communication volodymyr, we welcome you i congratulate you on the work of the institute during the war, i would like to talk with you, in particular, about the destruction of cultural monuments in ukraine , er, we have the numbers of 388 monuments of cultural heritage eminkult has calculated that the russians have already destroyed during the full-scale invasion in your estimations the damages . well, not only specific monuments, but in general the cultural and memories of ukraine in the ukrainian institute, as a state institution of cultural

diplomacy, we work to make these facts known abroad because when presenting ukrainian culture and modern and classical ukrainian culture abroad, we can not avoid the topic of its destruction, deliberate destruction during russia's war against ukraine, and therefore one of the projects that we are currently developing and will soon we will implement a project called postcards from ukraine, these are historical, archival and modern photos of those monuments that were destroyed or partially damaged starting from february in ukraine, and we are positioning this project by linking the ukrainian architectural heritage to the european heritage. we say that those churches gymnasium buildings, industrial facilities that are now destroyed in ukraine, they have clear connections with the italian, belgian, welsh, polish and

cultural heritage and therefore the world community should pay attention to this, should beat nabat and calculate the task of ukraine's losses in order for russia to later compensate or contribute. us president biden said that the goal of the russian dictator putin is not just a full-scale invasion of ukraine, he wants to destroy ukrainian culture, and the british prime minister used to come to sofia for a reason the giant of words oleksiy arestovich says that we want to make a small culture here and he will not allow it to be done until he is so convinced that he means something here, like a belt, this paradox. i completely agree that the target of russia in

ukraine is not only our people or territories or buildings, definitely russia for centuries and decades and in this war is especially attacking our culture, history , identity and this is obvious from all the program texts of the materials that were made public both on behalf of putin and on behalf of various polytechnologists of the kremlin before the beginning of the invasion, and now we see the deliberate destruction of ukrainian museums, in particular the museums of grigory skovoroda in the kharkiv region and the museum in ivankovo, that is, the unconditional subjugation of ukraine in russia's understanding means the physical destruction of material culture and the denial of our history, language identity. this is not news to us , therefore ukrainian cultural diplomacy should work to ensure that our cultural voice is heard as persuasively as possible in the world so that

russia's disinformation efforts to distort history the denial of the obvious facts of belonging, for example, of cultural figures to the field of ukrainian culture , became obvious. among these top i absolutely love this word because it is also russian criminal jargon, well, top news, which has earned the respect of the entire ukrainian establishment this weekend the adviser to the head of the president's region, the same former minister of economy of ukraine posted on facebook an announcement of some events that will take place in the united states in new york on june 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the harvard club there will be a costume show, as melo himself wrote, this event will change you

priorities in life will change, you will understand, you will accept the responsibility of this world as your own , to win this war and stop russia, there will be a filtering zone, that's right, somewhere people will be separated from the right and the wrong, check there probably some tattoos well, like in mariupol, yes, or in other occupied cities in buch, for example, there will be a filtration zone, a bomb shelter-style dinner and immersion in the experience of war and war crimes, surely someone there will be tortured with electric current , shot in the knees, there will be shooting in the joints, all the money will go for the restoration of medical institutions and schools in the vicinity of kyiv. how do you feel about such cultural diplomacy and such a way of collecting money , e.e. disneyland on the bones - in the bones i would say milovanov himself said that if the experience of this event is successful, it will be brought not only to new york, but to other cities of the world, i ask for your comment. i think that this is not cultural diplomacy, that is, such actions can hardly

be called cultural and diplomatic; moreover, these actions or such an immersive way of immersion people in a tragedy is not something new. i think that many of us remember a project from several years ago dedicated to the tragedy of the holodomor, where foreigners were offered to ordinary foreigners simply on the street to taste, well, let's call it dishes sisters who were cooked from the bark of trees, that is, from grass, that is, from what they could find and from which they cooked food, people who tried to survive in the famine, and it seems to me that this action uses a similar mechanism, this is such a shock immersion of a person in the experience of fortunately, this person will never survive in his life, i still think it is necessary to adhere to some ethics and respect for the victims, respect for people who

have survived this tragedy and are still going through it. in fact, i do not think that such actions are appropriate, and i think that ways of a more delicate but no less convincing story of the world about the horrors of war and about war crimes that are not so irritating and are certainly not manipulative. irpeni in gostomel, in other ukrainian cities in kharkiv, so that foreigners can fully feel all the emotions of the filtration camp. and what happened there, shootings, dives into bomb shelters and war crimes? volodymyr, tell me more about how you are now you are telling the world with what tools exactly what is happening in ukraine and what we might be lacking in terms of diplomacy, cultural

attention of the world to ukraine is lacking and despite those projects in addition to those projects that the ukrainian institute has planned for the sermon and this is about 80 projects for example ukrainian film festivals, film screenings , tours of ukrainian theaters, literary events , ukrainians are represented at literary festivals, these are musical events, concerts, festivals, that is, everything thatcher that we can broadcast the conclusions of modern of art, because of which we can broadcast the modern nerve of ukrainian culture and certainly our cultural heritage, we had about 80 such projects planned for this year, we saved probably 70 percent of them, this is a high figure, they found funding, that is, they will take place in spite of everything all tests, in particular, our biggest such project this year is the bilateral cultural season between ukraine and great britain, which will take place from june to

november. we also receive a huge number of requests from foreign institutions of cultural figures who ask us to advise us selections of ukrainian cinema advise us modern ukrainian plays contact us with ukrainian designers or offer scores of ukrainian academic music of the 20th century because all this is mostly unknown to foreigners and they in the ukrainian institute see and forgive such to himself, the intermediary of the bridges between them, and actually the sphere of culture here in ukraine, and actually a large part of our joint such projects are dedicated to this and that. by request we help foreigners to organize cultural events about ukraine, which in particular tell the world about the tragedy of the current war, because there are many documentaries, many modern plays that

are being born here and now, and soon there will be a lot of literature and feature films that will in one way or another interpret this our experience and actually cultural diplomacy should work with such projects and should help those who are ready to conduct them and choose the right content for them mr. volodymyr, thank you for participating in our on the air, volodymyr shiyko, general director of ukraine at the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine, express cultural diplomacy, culture management, marketing and communication. so it seems to you and me that some processes are happening by themselves, and there is a whole bunch of people working here, a group that tells about what is happening in ukraine in greetings to the whole world - this is freedom lime my name is vlasta lazur, we speak on the pages of radio svoboda on facebook and youtube, as well as on the air of the tv channel
