express well, also thank you very much to your host of the express tv channel, mr. serhiy, because unfortunately there is no time to ask questions, since there are literally 40 seconds left until the minute of memory, we are now . everyone, let's be silent and pray . ukraine is innocent of the united ukrainian citizens tortured by the enemy who died from shelling, we will remember all of them, it is thousands and thousands unfortunately, ukrainians were taken away by this war, but we believe in victory and we believe that they sacrificed something not in vain and we will definitely take revenge now let's be silent let's remember let's pray for our brothers and sisters who died in this war let's observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war that was unleashed by russia

we took them came painted everyone bought the minimum equipment and started working to be in their place and do their job, people are all grounded, work is important as never before , we will revive our cities and our economy and we are

afraid to work so that our ukraine flourished, hiding nowhere because we need to work with faith in ukraine to analyze the most relevant events simply on the air by attracting influential guests and professional experts antin borkovskyi did it when it was not yet mainstream and now he is returning from june 11 again on the air of the espresso studio tv channel, an event with anton by borkovsky what on saturday at 1:00 p.m. with a repeat at 10 p.m. - west studio don't miss the most important thing february 24 the date that changed us the date that changed the world and now what interests us most is our victory when we win

the enemy, how to predict the course of the war, the saturday political club program returns to the espresso airwaves to help understand the events and predict the consequences, that saturdays vitaliy portnikov and maria gurska will discuss the most relevant to draw appropriate conclusions, you want to know how what is happening today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday political club, what saturdays are espresso de narcissification from the office of the president why did the espresso tv channel turn off the digital air partially and partially broadcast a person who is very much in love with us, there are many narcissists i understand what threatens ukraine does not mean that ukraine does not meet the criteria, even candidacy for membership of the

eu and how the tv channel defends the right to broadcast, see more for more than two months without almost half of the viewers, on april 4, the state broadcaster rrt concern unreasonably turned off espresso from the t2 network. during this time, we tried to reach to all possible authorized bodies, and the human rights and cultural communities, media activists , scientists, domestic and european politicians and all expressed their support for the channel to no avail, there is still no espresso in the digital network, and ukrainian officials continue to disown the illegal decision that threatens to lose the jobs of almost a hundred patriotic journalists, and this is a real pressure on free media, says the chairman of the board of internews ukraine, konstantin kvort, for me, the main marker

is, you know, the above-mentioned silky collaborationism channels, they were not noticed at all. this is very important to understand. there is a difference in this. well, if, for example, the emergence of tv channels named medvedchuk we support because when they are collaborators, then with three channels about some, well , today, uh, it's happening. well, we don't support because, well, this is a clearly pro-ukrainian position, what was the point of doing this? the answer to the question, why , came unexpectedly from the president's office in an interview mykhailo podolyak, the adviser to the head of the office, mykhailo podolyak, told the left bank publication that espresso was turned off allegedly for good reasons, despite the fact that the channel broadcast 50% of the telethon, only news, and partially broadcast a person who is very much in love with us. i understand narcissists in our country, politics is built on

narcissism as such, we often sell narcissists. by the way, this is again a question of the professional quality of ukrainian information. if you sell a narcissist , who is empty inside? that's how they talk on the radio. of president poroshenko . also, this person is in love and he is in love with himself. let's say the owner is the indirect owner of the channels. to sell in this form as part of a single information package, in fact, mykhailo podolyak's statement has nothing to do with reality . espresso journalists emphasize that the tv channel is a separate independent media. and petro poroshenko was never and

is not either the owner of the channel or a person associated with espresso in the president's office. this is not known, because the ownership structure of the channel is transparent and the editorial policy is devoid of any influence in its broadcasts. they were not invited, so mykhailo podolyak's statement only confirms the groundlessness of the pressure on the free media, media experts say that petro poroshenko's narcissism cannot be a threat to national security and the existence of a reason for carrying out some kind of censorship . i don't know why exactly podolyak is commenting on this. control of freedom of speech and in ukraine during the war. that is, the national council on role day television issues should deal with this, it is their prerogative in the nec and channels or the national security council and

comments by pedals it seems to me that this is just another informational manifestation of some initiative. i don't know private me . expert-researcher of the crimean human rights group iryna sedova is convinced to explain the turning off of tv channels by someone's narcissism - this is at least unprofessional, instead society should know what really happened if you use censorship during the war do you want to make this a better country, that is, please explain to the society, please explain to the journalists, why exactly are you doing this, on what grounds, he does not know - on what norms is your decision based on the fact that on march 18, the national security and defense council made a decision on the implementation of a unified information policy under martial law, the document was immediately

signed by president volodymyr zelenskyi, however, about how to ensure such an information policy and whether any channels should be turned off for this purpose . the state, the national security council, and the national council did not explain, as a result, the rrt concern simply turned off espresso from the digital airwaves and deprived almost half of the viewers of who exactly made the decision to stop broadcasting is still unknown on may 11, the parliamentary committee on humanitarian and information policy tried to establish this before this e-e decree does not exist and did not exist or contain a decision of the national security council of ukraine to turn off or switch the sbu channel, it is e-e, as they say, publicly open. that is there is what is written there, there is nothing else . since then, more than a month has passed. we are calling

the chairman of the committee, nikita poturaev, of the tv channels. please tell me if we managed to find out anything during this time. those responsible were never identified, obviously delusional, obviously delusional, but it is symptomatic , so no one takes responsibility for this decision, well , serious people don't want to take it, and if no one wants to take it, then the first court, the first station, most likely, well, it will decide a decision that will be rightly unfair, meanwhile, turning off digital tv channels has all the signs of treason, lawyers insist, because

unauthorized interference in the work of a television network is a direct harm to state and information security that in the conditions of war is unacceptable, because in this way, tv channels lose the opportunity to record and show viewers the real crimes of racists in ukraine, this is a criminal offense, this is, this has signs of treason, the ukrainian channel is blocked for this, er, it means that some kind of deliberate action is being committed, since there are no such legal grounds for committing such actions if there are no legal grounds, i believe that during martial law it is the security service of ukraine that should immediately check what happened, lawyer lyudmila lebid says established facts with signs of a crime were transferred to the security service of ukraine, however, contrary to the law, the authorized persons did not register criminal proceedings, so they had to go to court, the lawyer has

the right to appeal such inaction to the investigating court , which was done, and accordingly, the investigating judge satisfied the complaint and obliged the authorized person who is authorized to consider exactly such applications should be considered in accordance with article 214 of the criminal procedure code of ukraine, and again, in the future, within 24 hours, the trial immediately begins investigation of the specified facts, whether this decision of the court is implemented is not yet known, although more than a month has passed since its adoption, such inaction should be checked by an authorized body in this case in the state bureau of investigation, but they gave me the answer that, judging by my statement, a criminal offense is not considered signs that some illegal actions have been committed, namely, failure to comply with the court decision, although without checking any facts,

only the statement itself, in my opinion, it is impossible to establish, at least it is necessary to at least do some request to the security service of ukraine in the lviv region and ask whether the decision has been implemented or not. is there such a decision, and the lawyers of the dbr have already appealed to the investigating judge. the decision does not hide the fact that it was political and quite likely restricts information not only to tv viewers but also to the head of state, because at the briefing for the day of journalists , volodymyr zelenskyi said that all ukrainian tv channels are still working as before, as far as i know, not a single channel was closed, the channels on which there is an information marathon, the united united

information weapons of the people were not deprived of any channels, this is not true. by the way, all these channels that you mentioned can even be found regardless that we had a clear agreement even before the decision of the national security and defense council regarding the joint broadcast if, according to zelenskyi , the channels were turned on. it seems that one hand of a warring country does not know what the other is doing, and this is a dangerous phenomenon even if it concerns freedom of speech, the chairman of the board of interviews from ukraine kostyantyn kvort claims that our enemies can take advantage of this and use it against us on the eve of the decision to grant ukraine the status of a candidate for eu membership to our enemies, it gives our enemies the opportunity to introduce a discussion about what in ukraine freedom of speech is violated, it is very simple, it means that ukraine does not meet the criteria even

for candidacy as a member of the eu or that it will then hang among the candidates for decades arguments about you understand that it is very important for ukraine to remain in the gray zone, and the country needs to be rebuilt, and in order to rebuild it, it is necessary to become a member of the eu, because they will not give the kind of big money that we need now to a non-member of the european union , threats to information security, possible treason, fictions about narcissists and inactivity security forces, all this is for some reason ignored by the authorities of ukraine in the conditions of war, meanwhile, the oppression of freedom of speech threatens ukraine with catastrophic consequences, despite the restriction of speech, the military aggression of russia and our journalists continue to face a number of other challenges in a high-quality and professional manner. carry out their work. return the espresso tv channel to the air. let's return to

our conversation. the morning marathon on the espresso tv channel continues. vasyl zima andriy zaychuk . a tv channel for the internal use of the office of the president of our country, because we recently just saw a video where volodymyr oleksandrovich zelenskyi recorded a speech the president of whom we respect very much, we support him and the commander-in-chief, and it means that the inter noise was such before his er speaker was er music used by the espresso tv channel, well, in his artery we understood that the president of ukraine er watches the news espresso they may be people who are there next to him, well, what do we want to work for all ukrainians, we are pleased, we are pleased , in fact, this also means the influence of the

espresso channel. this is true, in fact, well, everyone watches this broadcast too, and very much in cable networks , they watch it on satellite. well, unfortunately, we were excluded from t2, the problem is not even that, you know . because you included it, because you would exclude it, to say just because of the violation of this, what is possible and pretend that you did not exclude it. well, it is somehow so . candidate status we will have to move on we will have to move on i p- the skepticism that has already been revealed there by the netherlands, denmark and sweden, these are great friends of ukraine, they only helped us from the very beginning , they give us monetary support in reforms and so on, well, even for these people, democracy is not an empty sound. look at the same turkey

she has been a candidate since 1999, and it’s just that they have advanced quite well in the economy. european andriy says the union likes the european union to the north atlantic alliance, it is thorny , it is not easy. and we are overcoming this path, and here is the european aspirations of ukrainians in my colleagues have prepared a material, let's see . the representative office of the european commission was opened in kyiv, leonid kuchma came to power with pro-russian slogans , he promised to introduce bilingualism, but he won the second election as a western president, a strategic course for integration into the eu officially confirmed in 1998 and 2000 although there were no unequivocal

aspirations for the accession of ukraine under kuchma the orange revolution at the end of 2004 improved our european prospects viktor yushchenko sought to deepen ties with the eu 2007 negotiations began on the association agreement 2008 on the visa-free action plan and will be related to personal priorities kyiv joined the eastern partnership initiative of the eu tool for carrying out reforms according to democratic standards, then viktor yanukovych becomes president in 2013, he was supposed to sign the association agreement in vilnius. what factors prevent the signing of the agreement from the ukrainian side and from the european union, the main factors are our ukrainian interests, but

in fact it was about pro-russian interests. yanukovych never signed the agreement, instead he fled while the pro-european revolution was going on in ukraine . dignity , but putin occupied crimea and unleashed a war in the east, i was further. well, i saw how mr. yanukovych ran out of his room and shouted everything to the women in germany, france, and great britain, he does not allow him. not razre there and shouted that есть украина и отлажают псишать приятный предлагать на установ-северском улица song of the change of power in 2014 ukraine and the european union signed an association agreement it allows to get closer to the eu politically and economically in 2017 the european parliament supported visa-free provision ukrainians received be able to work and travel freely in europe, you and i, the ukrainian people and all of ukraine, are entering another historical

era, and this event marks the final break with the russian empire goodbye unwashed russia goodbye the era of relations between ukraine and the eu began after a full-scale attack by russia already on february 28 volodymyr zelenskyi together with the prime minister and the chairman of the verkhovna rada sent an application for joining the eu, the european parliament supported it in the majority, and the european commission sent ukraine a questionnaire that is a test of the internal and external state of affairs in the state which kyiv filled in record time ukraine felt the support of four powerful european states at once, in particular the support of our year european union italy romania france germany with us of course, all relevant procedures must be completed, all eu member states must join, granting candidate status is possible with the support of all 27 eu member states, and in ukraine, meanwhile

, 91% of people are in favor of european integration, however, after acquiring candidate status, many years of reforms in the field of the rule of law must be passed it took four years for democracy to combat corruption in lithuania. turkey has been a candidate since 1999. the ukrainian government, in the person of president zelensky , right now promised the leaders of the eu states that we we will make reforms to change the country. and this is done by reforms very well, the words of sydorenko, a ukrainian journalist, actually mean that the change is that we will change , and this is the essence of the fact that we are advancing to the candidacy of yevgeny had to the executive director of the institute of world politics and kira rudyk, people's deputy of ukraine, join us in our conversation, gentlemen, we welcome you. glory

to ukraine, glory to the heroes, and i don't even know what alyona hetmanchuk is, what exactly is european integration? very transplantable for me, it was a long time ago that she wrote about what, god, is a super-super chance for ukraine. yesterday, she wrote such a block that you think how much it really is a super chance and how would we know it? as yaroslav hrytsak tells me i really like his phrase that ukrainians never lose a chance to waste a chance well, we just don't have a dump, as they say, in ukraine, we can't miss this chance for a manicure. let's start with you, please, let's look at the list. that homework we have provided by the european commission yesterday, of course, we were on an extraordinary emotional high when we received

their conclusion and i am sure that for every ukrainian citizen and for the gutter of ukraine in this world, yesterday's step was absolutely positive, absolutely directed forward, but let's return to the list at home work please tell me if there is anything new for us or if there are items there that we have never seen and we looked at them like that, god, we will have to do it now, well, no, in fact, there are no such items, that's all or a list of some of our previous promises that we gave to the international monetary fund or international organizations that deal with human rights defenders and that’s why, in essence, to make an analogy with the exam, they tell us to submit your posts and everything will be fine with you -th points that the european commission gave us, there are no economic

indicators that we need to achieve, there are no uh-th points that relate to, uh, i don't know the points that we can afford, this is essentially a list of what we already know absolutely clearly we know for sure that this should be done and the european commission reminds us of this, it is the fight against corruption in various different ways, they tell us that you really need to fight corruption and not just pretend to be the second - this is of course judicial reform and rules that are the same for everyone and probably the only one what is new and such an indicator that uh doesn't make us attractive to the outside - this is the media law where the european commission clearly says that we see that you have been closed by three channels we hear about it and we tell you don't do that anymore with

patriotic from the actual direction, i would divide here into legislative work, executive work and political will from the point of view of legislative work, there are indeed several draft laws, including the draft law on the media or the draft law on oligarchs that the verkhovna rada has as uh, i, as the head of the opposition party, can say that we are absolutely sure we will do everything to ensure that the parliament fulfills its part of the work here, the question is for the executive power, how to implement the laws that already exist, how to appoint a prosecutor, how, er, to make it so that of the existing anti-corruption bodies eventually worked out how to choose judges of the constitutional court . this already concerns our government and whether it will be able to show after the war that changes have really taken place and that we are not the same people who were

four months ago. and we are people who are able to put their own political ambitions aside and do what is needed for the country because the list that was given to us by the european commission is not needed by the european commission, the list that was given by the commission is not needed by portugal, germany, france, others countries, this is what ukraine needs for a very long time, and we need people who can do it, who have the power to do it, they took it and made it . is waiting for this decision regarding the application to the european union, there is such money, it became the holy scripture that mercy is always determined above the court, uh, i don't know if it is worth only making peace to ukraine, and on the other side of ukraine, what does he remind me of? here is this woman who was standing next to they wanted to stone her to the cross. he said, who is without sin, let the first stone not be thrown, understand that we are certainly not perfect and there are no perfect countries, maybe you are given less than some other countries. well, but after all, now this mercy will be

exalted above the judgment and we will acquire the status with the fact that we will correct certain mistakes or i understand that what does not suit certain countries the pants are now well in two days there or how much is left there in 4 days in 5 days will definitely not fix what is a political solution the most important thing now is to give ukraine that's it green light and t- also in addition p. yevgeny i would like to ask . this is such a statement by putin that he actually reconciles with the european union for the sake of ukraine and says well, let it not be a military association , i don't care p. yevgeny how about you do you think this kick-off is appropriate, it will have some meaning for someone in europe that well, there are no reservations well, let ukraine be a candidate for the eu, please well, let's continue this interestingly i would say that ukraine is pan-european and it is waiting and this score will not be

all next week and actually after the introduction of ukraine to the european union and for the simple reason that the european union is without the continent's largest country and will, let's say, always be incomplete . political will is needed, and i will say more, ukraine has no right to hide behind the russian-ukrainian war in order to say that we are not doing something. because we have a war, we currently have a real constitutional the majority is able to adopt the operationally necessary year, this is a real fact, that is, a person who

votes or sabotages a decision demonstrates in this way that he is not a supporter or a supporter of european integration. all i am about any is very interesting. let's remember the situation in 2022 until february. russia showed us in every way it doesn't matter if ukraine is in the european union or not in the european union, if you were not a member of nato for us, but recently, these days, these 16 and a half weeks, when already its european union demonstrated a clear political position regarding ukraine, russia, well, you know, this is characteristic of putin, when he can no longer influence it, he says that he did not really want to, well, this
