except for the first one, russian rockets are coming to kyiv, there are victims, this is not the first time and, unfortunately, probably not the last time, these rockets are coming, and at this very time, such an oppositionist, allegedly against the kremlin, such a liberal poet e- dmytro bykov is taking a photo in kyiv, and his t-shirt says that this is a blue heart. everything is as it should be. that is, all these attributes are supposed to be that i love ukraine. well, in quotation marks, we understand that they are observed, but on the other hand, let's not forget that at one time, this is poet dmitry bykov he said that the fate of odesa, in particular, which in russia. well, almost all of them are liberals. no, they are not liberals. they all consider it to be a russian city. and in general, they say that russian democrats end where the ukrainian question begins, and russian liberals also say that, he said about that the fate of the rus of odessa outside the russian context will be deplorable and that the occupation of ukraine by the soviet union is the best option for our coexistence with the

russians and also demanded that we open russian-language schools and here is the limit of cynicism in these people, what are they after everything they said then when theirs seemed to be on top, when they were well, as if we did not start the war and had some moral right to teach us, and now when their country in which they lived, how they supported it , started this brutal, terrible war, they come to ukraine, the ukrainian heart is yellow and blue on the chest and they start telling us how they support us and other things like this are not unacceptable, it is intolerable, it should not be like that well, actually, why do n't these people understand that everything is russian in i think that in happiness today in a ukrainian woman causes you know how pain and why the pain is sharp, it’s the same as when you come to the dentist and your nerve is touched by some kind of metal with these metal dental tools, well, a person can lose consciousness from the pain, at least it’s very painful, like

lightning and that’s it our nerves are now exposed, exposed by these rockets and atrocities in buch, kharkiv oblast, gostomel, irpen, chernihiv oblast, kherson oblast. well, there is no need to rush to us. leave us alone now, we will fight back together with those partners who we were always friends, but not now suddenly they became about the world about ukraine yuriy fizer is ready to talk today, by the way, there is a lot of interesting and important information and i hope it is positive for ukraine yuriy congratulates you please verb i congratulate you vasyl i congratulate everyone who joined the big broadcast there is really a lot of information today well and most of it will be about the summit of the big seven in germany but not only about this and others in a moment of its processing the world about ukraine the leaders of the united states of america , canada, france, germany, great britain, italy

and japan, as well as the leadership of the european union and representatives of some other countries, arrived in elmau. if earlier the usual topics of the gs7 meetings were the fight against climate change, climate hunger and poverty, now , unfortunately, the war in ukraine is on the agenda participants should discuss not only the current situation with russian aggression, but also its long-term consequences for the whole world. it is also expected that new sanctions against russia will also be discussed at the event. will last until june 28, after which most of its participants will go to madrid for the nato meeting, which will last until june 30. at it, the countries must determine practical measures regarding military support for ukraine. from the very beginning, putin hoped and tried to separate the western allies, but fortunately he failed so now they must be united more than ever

, us president joe biden said this during a meeting with german chancellor olaf scholz before the start of the meeting of the leaders of the member states of the great seven, and most importantly, the current head of the white house once again emphasized that putin will not get away with what he is doing in ukraine and he will pay dearly for it. well, after a meeting with the german chancellor, joe biden condemned today's attack on kyiv, according to him, it was an attack on a residential building and a kindergarten in the capital of ukraine - it's just barbarism. it's a shame that joe biden didn't say afterwards that putin is a barbarian because of this. well, but for joe biden, i'll say it, and i've already said it, any attempt to end the russian war in ukraine diplomatically will lead to even greater instability, so the prime minister of great britain boris johnson comments commented on the statements of some european leaders, in particular the president of france , manuel macron, that it is necessary

to continue talking with putin and try to bring him to the negotiating table and with president zelensky, however, even more to me i liked the words that the head of the british government and our good friend wrote about ukraine on his facebook page. let's listen to mr. johnson directly. we don't we can wave our hand at ukraine at the moment it needs our support more than ever great britain will continue to support everything that ukraine does because we know their security is our security and their freedom is our freedom well , let's face it, everything is done by a person and said by this person causes only admiration for every ukrainian. may god give him health. the european union is obliged to provide ukraine with more military , financial and political aid in the war with the russian aggressor, about this at the same summit

the president of the european council, charles michel, said at the g7 in germany, according to him, support for ukraine will be long-term, but now the main task. well, then the quote from the president is our main task with the g7 countries is to cut off oxygen to the russian military machine and at the same time to think about our own economies, this is the end of the quote, except it also thinks about those countries that may suffer from the fact that russia blocks the export of ukrainian grain through ukrainian ports. charles michel called the kremlin's actions a dangerous hunger games during which the kremlin uses food as a silent weapon of war. well, how many more of these weapons will there be? gas is used as a war. food is used as a war. god, when will they all be? well, let's move on. modern russia is a disease, and therefore it must

be treated accordingly. the ex-minister of foreign affairs of lithuania lina slinkevich wrote on his page in the twitter network of micrologists that according to him, today's shelling of a residential building in kyiv should be a message for the leaders of the g7 member countries and a reminder, in particular, that you cannot make concessions to the aggressor and you cannot negotiate with him, only block everything until his war machine runs out of steam. well, we must continue. western sanctions are in effect and have a very strong impact on the russian economy. said in an interview with the american tv channel cnn on the sidelines of the g7 summit, he confirmed that, unfortunately, russia now receives a lot of money from the sale of energy carriers, but due to export controls, it cannot they should be spent, in particular, on the purchase of everything necessary for the modernization of its defense, technological and energy sectors, moreover, the us

secretary of state said that according to forecasts , the russian economy will shrink by 15% next year. well, let them continue with sanctions, we will hope and perhaps even pray and now a little more about the fact that some countries, unfortunately, lack appeals from the european union to ukraine and russia to sit down at the negotiating table about this the minister of foreign affairs of slovenia, tanja faion, said in an interview with the slovenian news agency, according to the head of the foreign policy department of this country, according to the head of the foreign policy department of this country, now in europe they are mostly talking about sanctions and how they can have consequences, but practically they don't say anything about what to do when the sanctions run out. but i think that they will not run out, well, they will always find something to

hit russia with. and these statements are only for well, sanctions hit slovenia, apparently, and they don't want it. this is how nato is planning the largest deployment of its military forces since the cold war. this possibility will be considered by the members of the alliance during the same period in madrid, the spanish publication el pais reports. nato is ready to transform eastern europe on ford with thousands of soldiers and a large amount of equipment, all in order to be ready in the event of aggression against any member state of the alliance to give a decent rebuff, today the military formations in the east of europe number about one and a half thousand if the nato military decides to increase its presence, this number may double. well, i will remind you that madrid itself will take place from june 28 to june 30, that is, in a few days, during it, they should make a new strategic concept of the alliance that will define russia as a direct

threat . and at the end, my probably favorite column is us again at the end of the mountains mountains clear fire up to the sky in one of the districts of st. petersburg the orthodox church of the saints of saint basil the great caught fire and of course i would not say this with such joy as this. if it were not a church of the russian orthodox church, first the church was extinguished by the parishioners who came for the morning service, and then the firemen arrived . well, the rector of the church confirmed that the fire destroyed the outer cladding of the roof of the bath house and the bell tower, in addition, he suggests that the church could quite possibly have been set on fire, i wouldn't be surprised if it was done by the ukrainians, not the nazis. well, who else i could do this with a building that is

called a church in russia and an organization that is again called the russian orthodox church in russia . finally, i want to remind you that tomorrow is monday, which means that at 12:13 the espresso program sweet is on the air during the war i will talk with the guests in detail about the outing, which you will find out about tomorrow, so tune in at 12:30, don't miss it, you can also watch it on youtube. well, for today, i have everything, but only for today, there will be more tomorrow, however, do not switch, our broadcast continues. it was already the third border guard ihor dashko's rotation to the east, the contract was due to end soon, his wife and daughter were waiting at home, but ukraine was attacked by an aggressor on april 9 during the battle of mariupol, seriously wounded ihor dashko

blew himself up with a grenade in order not to be captured himself and to prevent the enemy from capturing the radio station with his last words on the air there were glory to ukraine ihor dashko was posthumously awarded the title of hero of ukraine heroes do not die the petition for the return to the digital air of the espresso tv channel has already received more than twenty one thousand votes we have less a month to bring this figure to 25,000 to get to power go to the petition site of the cabinet of ministers of ukraine register and press the sign button help get the necessary number of votes protect freedom of speech in ukraine let's get back to the conversation now we will discuss with our guest quite important topics we are in touch with oleksiy granya, professor of

the kiomohylian academy, scientific director of the oleksiy kucheva initiative foundation, sorry, sir, everyone. greetings. good evening, mr. vasyl, and if i can listen to your broadcast very carefully, and you and i are friends personally and with the espresso channels. but i want to respond to what you said about dmytro bykov. do you understand? well, here i would say that there is hope that people change, so and uh i hope that maybe he realized in his heart what ukraine is and what russian aggression is , although for the previous words, yes, he could at least repent and apologize there and here. i completely agree with you when you say that all this is now exposed for us nerve. can i now tell you why? of my friends, fighters and volunteers, who are simply stunned

when a very good journalist appears on espresso's screen, or rather a journalist named lena chichenina and they tell me all the time well, can't you stop now, by the way, buchi seems interesting this moment is symbolic to say everything i understand i'm here i'm here i'm finishing it because i think it's fundamental i'm also alyosha at home since childhood for my mother i'm alyosha but i won't go on the air what lyoshya yes and i think you understand now we very often say that what is happening around there, i think for lena chichenino, the position was now to say everything officially. now, elena, i heard you, and i will also pass it on, because i have already applied several times, and it is not

me through you. and i think that well, in this situation, i, well, she will make her decision, we will now talk about those decisions that are made somewhere there by people who are very high, but which decisions significantly affect our lives, and these people are not only in ukraine, outside its borders, here you can't say what it is the scandal that arose, but this topic is very much discussed, and it is very much discussed right now, and immediately the deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine, ihor zhovkva, in an interview with the publication of the other times, literally said that ukraine has no intention of taking steps to join nato, because he understands without the prospects of these efforts due to the positions of individual countries of the north atlantic alliance, well, here, as they say , er, it has begun, er, someone says that the government is provoking, someone says that the government is sending someone some kind of signal, someone says that the government is abandoning established in the constitution of our country, i will remind you of our euro -atlantic aspirations and also aspirations to join

nato, how do you explain it, and here is another question of the time, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, by his decree, appointed people who had the right to speak at all about foreign relations and voice in in this situation, the position of the state, is now not the time to limit such statements to those other people who have nothing to do with anya and the external political department of anya and the government in general and are not even related to of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, which actually reminds us that our state is a parliamentary presidency, if he was still the head of the verkhovna rada's committee on foreign affairs, i would still understand how you would explain it, please , mr. vasyl, your editors should have explained who ihor zhovkva is, ihor zhovkva and this a person who is directly related to foreign policy, this is the deputy head of the president's office for foreign policy issues, he is, but what was named among the people who could

talk about it, maybe now it is no longer relevant no no i will explain now, so he is a staff diplomat and he is a diplomatic adviser to the president, that is, he has much more right to speak here than arahami or other people whom you name, so let's do it here, the question is actually, in fact, it is not simple why zhovkva now has to accept congratulations and i know that many people thanked him because it was on his shoulders, as well as on the boiling pot of stefanishina and other people, that the candidacy of ukraine in the european union lay, and he put a lot of effort in this direction and believe me, i have been following this man for a long time, he is a real sincere patriot of ukraine and a professional, he did his job well and thank god that this is exactly the direction of the candidacy where we all worked worked together in relation to nato here the situation really looks more complicated i tried now because this quote

that you are you submitting it, i looked at ukrinform , it doesn’t go like a quote, it’s flowery, i tried to open the original financial times on the go, but i just couldn’t do it right now, being with you on the air, i mean, it’s flowery quote, i want look at this quote from the times and in principle i want to say that i understand in general what is behind it and then i will say my questions that i have because it is obvious that we are now really in this situation when nato will not provide us with a stove or anything this is so and under these conditions. i understand that the efforts of the ukrainian authorities were concentrated on the real achievement of candidacy in the european union, and here it must be said that our authorities worked well and

we all worked well. yes. that is, we set a goal and we achieved it in relation to nato. i think that here and here by the way, zhovkva was talking about this, now i will open this quote - this information. he just said that important decisions should be made here at the very cost and which concern aid to ukraine, that it should be said that nato's doors are open for us, what should be on you, all this should be recorded in the new strategic concept, which will be adopted, and we know that this, this summit will make decisions on specific aid, aid to ukraine here and now, i think that in this document , the role of ukraine is in european security, and you

spoke harshly about it, so here is a direct quote. so this should be reflected in the updated document, the situation in the black sea, and that russia should not be, that any mention of russia as a nato partner country should be removed from the strategic concepts that is, it has been said. i understand that our government has concentrated on specific achievable results, but what is missing for me, you understand, because i heard about it, after all, well, i also follow foreign policy and i am a specialist in international affairs. exactly that it remains just how much there is 208-29 should take place yes or 29-30 ah and uh, in principle we have not heard in recent days what is the position of ukraine and what we

want from this summit, we really did not hear this and that is why i think that it's just er-er this is er-er this statement p zhovkva she is a bit late, we should have heard about it maybe even zhovkva and maybe even from president zelenskyi and from the minister of foreign affairs kuleba what exactly do we expect from this that's what i would say yes we don't expect anything in particular. yes, and i think that this is just. well, it's not quite right communication, i don’t know how they communicate there with their nato partners, maybe everything is okay there, yes, but with ukrainian society, respectively, and communication. well, there was no or it was not enough, so i would say in this elmau castle, where the meeting of the great seven is taking place today a lot of statements were made that are openly in support of ukraine, if someone in our country does not know what they would like to

recognize, then in my opinion, in nato, where will these leaders come, that's why they even invited the prime minister of japan to participate in the summit for the first time nato if i'm not mistaken, again, because he was exactly on the big seven well, in particular, the statements of macron and johnson who had a meeting in the fields, so they talked about the need to support ukraine and, moreover, that now it is possible to help ukraine achieve a key turning point in this war by increasing her help was the statements of scholz about biden, who also met on the sidelines of the big seven, who agreed that we should remain united, and this is our message to putin that we cannot be broken. and the big seven also decided an important statement and therefore a key one for ukraine now, at least for now in the moral sense, that they are ready to indefinitely support ukraine in the war against russia. well, everything is clear. everything is clear. the question is what our president will say. i understand it will be a video call, but in any case i think it's important what he says here. we might prepare , but again, i won't

express my opinion there more about the statements of the joker. i'll just remind you that it's written in the constitution. well, in any case, it's possible to do something otherwise, look at these wordings. yes, look, i will say it again, so i have repeatedly said , including yours on your live broadcast, that after the beginning of the russian aggression, sometime in march, we had such a peak of the anti-nato wave, which, unfortunately, came from the direction of here i i can say people who had no right to comment on these issues, that is, these are the advisors of the head of the president's office, this is uh, this is uh, my god, this is arestovych - this is podalyak taigamia, these are people who have nothing to do with foreign policy and they have no business - this to comment, they sowed such an anti-western, anti-nato wave. thank god that now it is us, this

wave seems to have fallen asleep, although quite recently podalyak told us again that nato is such a hollywood tiger that in fact they say that there are no real forces, which is just nonsense. that is why i think that the government it is necessary to scold harshly and say correctly and correctly mentioned that these people do not have even with the decree about according to the presidential decree they do not have any right - this is to comment like this therefore this is a false position i say once again our real position on the eve of the nato summit i do not have enough information, again, i assume that the diplomats proceed from the fact that it is possible to realistically achieve this and achieve it. i think it is realistic that it is possible that the new declaration can and should be said about open doors for ukraine about euro-atlantic

integration and about the key role of ukraine in ensuring security and that russia is not a partner of nato, but a strategic threat and adversary of nato, that is what i think our diplomats are working on, but i agree with you here that communications with ukrainian society are clearly we don't have much time, but i have one more question. i want you to comment on it. so, the minister of european integration, olga stefanishyna, stated that the status of a candidate for the european union was granted to ukraine without any conditions. there were certain preliminary positions that should be followed. about the fact that it is not without conditions that ukraine, let's say, has committed itself and it must appoint the head of the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office who has passed the rebuttal has passed the competition it's just that they don't appoint him because this person at one time dealt with, let's say, the case of a certain tatar, who is now standing in the president's office, there is another adviser there, or what is he responsible for, the person who opposed the maidan

during yanukovych's time, and it seems that he is blocking it, but still after all, is it written in the conditions that were signed that guaranteed ukraine 's candidacy for the european union that ukraine should, in addition to the judicial reform, there are other reforms such as appointing the head of the sap or not? mind, because the speech i listened to on television, she clearly said that these conditions exist, they were written down in the decision of the european commission, but she said that this does not mean that the status of a candidate will be taken away from us. if we comply with these requirements, it will simply mean that the negotiations about the introduction if we do not fulfill them and they will simply not start and that's all. that is, she did not say that these conditions do not exist. well, here i will

agree with you that it is not the appointment of the head of sap - it is blatant. thank god that it is not worked on the arguments against granting ukraine, i simply, with great respect for you, i will tear you off, because we have a connection with a soldier of the trench from luhansk region so that he does not break off . i thank you very much. you said thank you for your comments oleksiy gran was in touch with us and professor yakum of the mohyla academy, a professor of political science, is also the head of the yaka kuchereva foundation , and now we are adding to the conversation serhiy shikun, an officer of the luhansk territorial defense. ukraine, mr. serhiy, i congratulate you. good evening. i am glad to see and hear from you. please tell me about the situation in the luhansk direction. it is probably the hottest direction in ukraine right now. the direction on the front is where we read that the enemy entered severodonetsk

and took control of several more settlements there . somewhere there he also appeared in lysychansk at what is the name of the jelly factory. well, there they talked about what the situation was in the evening. this day, from your lips, so that we do not guess what is true and what is not. please, here is the situation in luhansk oblast in fact, today it is very difficult . is firing from all sides, the artillery from the aviation is trying to enter with

groups to check our strength, it is getting on the nuts, it is leaving. well, that’s how it is all day. please tell me, the main thing is that the enemy continues to use active artillery airstrikes and only under their cover to try to advance further and again, do the ukrainian troops have enough today on the front lines to repel these strikes, are they not violated there or well, violations are possible, but not critical logistics corridors, please , in terms of the number of to your question enough not enough enough for what in order to get lysychansk or in order to liberate ukraine liberate luhansk region in order to liberate not enough in order to get the enemy enemy recently, he has learned very well and uses all the possible military actions against the ukrainian armed forces. the fact is that a large

number of artillery, a large number of shells are flying, and it’s not just that he fired there, is there a break, or is it sunday ? e katsaps are the last to try. you can say yes, the bastion of luhansk region, lysychansk, to conquer, to declare , we took it, we liberated luhansk region. novatoshki and toshki who are grazing the mountain, yes, lysychansk is also broken because they are fighting with all kinds of weapons. well, there was a message from the luhansk regional military administration that the enemy was entrenched in severodonetsk, voronezh, and eh
