to develop an event on the media market, that is, these are the key things in order for ukraine to preserve that freedom of speech, albeit imperfectly, which was due to competition between many not just people, their political groups . the richest people will be forced to give their licenses to the state, as happened with akhmetov, because what worries me the most in this situation is that i do not work for the public sector. this is because it is public, it is not the office of the president, the channel is generally strange that we have two state-owned tv channels, rada and uh-e friedung, which are actually just financed from the state budget and are completely managed by the president's office - it's strange, well, for me, i'm like a journalist but the question is that what is public is not fun, public is what belongs to society, but the truth is of no use, and i have no interest in the fact

that oligarchs control one or another media, because i believe that the pocket media oligarchs are against the interests of a democratic country. i do not i believe that this decision, which was voiced by renat akhmetov, is a decision to make it impossible to fall under the register of the law on oligarchs. i think that it is rather a question of protest, that this question is ultimately about financial resources and i am convinced that this story will continue the fact that today it appears in news agencies that akhmetov has registered a media company on the territory of the european union indicates that he is ready to work according to the principles and standards that work in the european union, i read the information that the next the channel will also stop broadcasting until the end of the martial law. until the moment of our

victory, but here we have to look really globally , and one of the conditions for our entry and our compliance with the standards of the european union was the lack of control of the total control of the state over the media and what is happening today with public betrayal well, of course, what can be justified by the conditions of martial law, but when the public was created . to pressure and determine one or another policy, what happened to the rada tv channel seems to me to be completely nonsense because when before the full-scale invasion the rada tv channel was reformatted and turned from a parliamentary channel into a mouthpiece of the government, it was a direct violation of democracy and legality. i am convinced that as soon as the war ends, only we will win victory, this

question will definitely arise again and again because what is happening globally today in the media space of ukraine is very, very dangerous from the point of view from the point of view of martial law, i am convinced that there is no right to exist for any broadcaster that rebroadcasts moscow propaganda, this is unequivocally just as there is no right to be in the parliament, just as there is no right to be any information agency that and dirt moscow on the bridges of our people this is obvious when it ends when the war will end, when we will win, then i am convinced that our information space must meet the standards of the free world, the standards of the european community, and therefore it is very important at this stage, when the war continues actions when we really need to speak with one voice for the sake of our victory. when we need to demonstrate unity, it is very important not to kill democracy. it is very

important not to kill freedom of speech. moreover, it has been three years since the law on language came into force, and one of its authors, mykola knyazhytskyi, writes that language now primarily distinguishes us from russia, and that is why the enemy tried so hard to eradicate our language, however russia lost when we elected our a-a and defended our right to the ukrainian language and now we should not stop the same way, and now we are at war. what do you think about this? well, july 16 is also such a very symbolic day for ukrainians because 16 on july 32 years ago, the ukrainian parliament adopted the declaration on the state sovereignty of ukraine. on july 16, the law on the ukrainian language

entered into force. officials, including the president of ukraine, do not have the right to use a foreign language in their official addresses, no, because they must be fined for it. i am convinced that the language obodsman will definitely buy these things, and if globally, you know why muscovites went to mariupol, why the muscovites went to kharkiv, why did the muscovites try to go to the north of ukraine, because they think and think very simply that there is more foreign language, if there is more foreign language, it means they thought that they would be met there much better than in galicia than in kyiv than in

other places and territories, they were wrong, why, and because the ukrainian language had already taken very big and strong roots there, because the ukrainian principle was already there and gained its strength in 2014, when the muscovites occupied the donetsk region, luhansk region crimea, they had more chances, because the law on the ukrainian language did not work then, because there were no sprouts of ukrainization of russian films, ukrainian books, and the ukrainian conversational space , which in 14-19 years made their way so strongly. when they came to those territories where they thought they would be greeted with flowers, they were properly selected, that's why the language is important, that's why the army must be strong, that's why faith must be ukrainian, thank you, uh, finally, literally , i don't remember this micro-question who? and one of the

deputies was god. well, they passed the law on language because of this. putin was attacked by god. i think that he is the one who created it . today, he is not in ukraine because a lot of people went somewhere on the eve of february 24. i think that there will be a separate conversation. and who dear portnov, who is definitely the leader of muscovy here in ukraine, so calmly, gloriously and clearly, in the third month of the war, fled for our ukraine. i think there will still be a lot of questions, but we must win. we must restore our territorial integrity, we must become members of the european union and nato , and i i am convinced that then everything will fall into place , so we will actually continue the topic of the language. russian aggression somehow forced the transition of ukrainians who usually used the russian

language in everyday life to switch to ukrainian, and for this reason they even organize language clubs, many of them have opened in the west of our country, but nevertheless there is one of them in the capital, but the day before the news about uh, such classes were met with a stir of those who wanted to, it turned out to be even more than planned, more than there was more space , our correspondents i'll tell you, i'm still not making hay in the position, believe me, like a nightingale, this is exactly the desire of everyone present. the first meeting of the language club took place in the capital's bookshop, the glow of books. this will be a conversation club for communication in order for people to comfortable, just at the everyday level, in such a friendly atmosphere, in principle , there were more people who wanted to speak and pronounce their ukrainian than the organizers expected. as it turned out, in the capital, it is not so easy to find a place to not only

study foreign languages, but also to improve your native language. i think that we do not have enough such advanced courses precisely in the ukrainian language in the city, because i searched before the war and i did not find a person in polish and in english, yes, please, in italian, but in ukraine, in ukrainian, why is there not enough? it was precious every week, in the basis of classes, a book by a teacher with many years of experience, who developed a methodology for studying ukrainian specifically for russian speakers, this is the only book in ukraine that is written in a comparative way between the ukrainian and russian languages, what is the difference between our languages , ukrainian and russian, and this is for those who have not studied the ukrainian language but he is also russian-speaking , this method is ideal for foreigners

who once studied russian in ukrainian universities , but it is difficult for me to speak, i want i want to study, someone is free in shock to speak like that according to the latest polls , 80 citizens consider the ukrainian language to be their native language, this is what really unites ukrainians, to communicate in the state language is to respect the armed forces of ukraine, to respect every citizen is to demonstrate to the whole world that we are fighting not only for the territory , we are fighting for our education for our own children for their identity and of course for their language and for those who still hesitate there is talk and everything tetyana litvinova ihor nikitenko kyiv espresso don't be afraid to start

talking and all this is not so difficult and that's it it's difficult, whose russian language is similar to ukrainian, this curse is actually in the ukrainian language, probably yes, about the norms of the law that came into force from today, we will talk with taras kreminnyi, the commissioner for the protection of the state language, he is with us in connection with mr. taras glory to ukraine glory to the heroes , mr. taras today i went to check one of the norms of my own that came into effect on the 16th. i went to the mirror of the week, which is next zn.ua well, like how the mirror of the week will be like that from the first, it was called like that, and i went to the former novoe vremya decided how to greet here and there and there by default, it seems that the russian-language page opened first, because i clicked on ua forever after that, you enter and the first thing you do is choose the language.ua, and voila, both opened in the ukrainian language i.e. does it work? did everyone

manage to switch and what will happen to those who didn't? well, i think it's a success story that these editions have switched to ukrainian, as they rely on the fact that your computer is set to the ukrainian language, that's why the start page is actually linked to of the direct ukrainian-language version of a specific online publication, now if we speak in essence, the 27th article came into force three years later, how the law came into effect today, three years of the law and it seems to me that three years was absolutely enough for everyone, for civil servants and for heads of state institutions, heads of communal enterprises, owners of the internet - publications, as well as those who provide citizens of ukraine with access to information and state services using user interfaces, to be brought to the appropriate its activity because some people are joking, even the iron started speaking in ukrainian while showing its scoreboard. i think that this norm is absolutely normal

and fair. they have been working for a long time by default during the past year, and we really cooperated with various international organizations , companies, and institutions that expressed their concerns and warnings in order to they say i didn’t have time, but you know, in such a case, i absolutely can’t help with anything, as i control that the rights of citizens are protected, that the ukrainian language strengthens their positions in the ukrainian state, the second important provision of article 27, which we followed in the same way. three years ago, these changes to the code of ukraine on administrative offenses mean that from now on persistent violators of language legislation will have the opportunity to receive a warning from the authorized representative if the violation continues. there is an opportunity to impose fines on such violators compared to last year, statistics show that the risk zone in our country has shifted towards internet publications that provide certain

services related to public employees about the percentage just started to communicate in the state language and in the conditions of war to provide information about socially significant events about the progress of buildings at the front about the liquidation of the consequences of certain situations has changed significantly compared to last year, i feel this because you will remember that literally last year, the deputy they did not want to get rid of the status of russian as a regional language; they absolutely harshly criticized me for what they say, how can i talk about renaming the city yuzhnoukrainian, even though it does not comply with the norms the situation of the modern ukrainian language today looks significantly different. and i believe that this progress is not reversed, and actually i was still wondering what to do with social networks, but today mykhailo zagorodnyi published a study by the

content analysis center, they conducted a study of five social networks, and well, in in general, there are certain promotions there, for example, facebook and twitter have mostly become ukrainian-speaking, in particular, the war has an effect, but if you take tik-tok and youtube, for example, the situation here is not very good, because on youtube, for example ukrainian-language content is only 5%. the rest is mostly russian and even ukrainian-speaking bloggers still write in russian in order to have access to a wider audience . well, you know, even such social networks as one owner and in contact have become the epicenter of researchers’ attention. i am absolutely amazed how banned social networks in ukraine are still in demand among the citizens of ukraine, for me this is absolutely incomprehensible and unacceptable and just makes me wonder, on what basis are such social networks

networks are still functioning on the territory of ukraine . first of all, secondly, it is necessary to understand what the target audience of these or other social networks is, which should be carried out . which i have if in social networks in youtube channels telegram channels viber group i don't know anywhere civil servants heads of state institutions and let's say official bodies have pages that are not provided with city language. of course, this is a violation, and in accordance with the cooperation agreement, we will take appropriate measures if it is a private communication. i'm sorry, this is already someone else's territory, and this is an issue that relates to the category of state language policy, but i am ready in every way to help the level of mastery of the ukrainian language to increase, so that the youth who acquire in

educational institutions, so that heads of institutions and cross-national citizens of ukraine who are obliged to speak the language still switch to ukrainian as actively as possible, this is a small diversion the acoustic one just now opened freedom.ua state tv channel to check in what language do the presenters and also the guests of the air broadcast their own broadcast to me but maybe you have a comment and of course i have comments as far as i know this tv channel operates in accordance with the law on foreign broadcasting but i i think that this is the competence of the national council for television and radio broadcasting and, of course, the specialized committee. unfortunately, i cannot cover everything, and we have repeatedly talked about the fact that according to the results of the monitoring of television and radio organizations that are part of

of the main list and they are broadcast on the territory of ukraine, it cannot be such that there are double standards, double standards mean the introduction of bilingualism, bilingualism is unacceptable if we lean towards the decision of the constitutional court of ukraine, but i am infuriated by something else when on certain tv channels, civil servants speak in the state language and in addition other than that, tv companies do not provide a live translation of their performances, let's say we recently published the results of such monitoring and i think that everyone willing could have paid attention to this, but i emphasize once again , regardless of whether it is television or public events, every civil servant must speak in the state language, whether it is the freedom tv channel or any other tv channel operating on the territory of ukraine, and if it concerns, for example , channel telegrams for example, they record a video about

operational information in their region or in their city. what language should he use? this is usually the state language. the law also applies to the telegram channels of officials from today in the past few days, such telegram channels have become significantly fewer, but already today several complaints about odra have been received on individual channels of individual officials, which we mention in our monitoring e. the iron must speak ukrainian, and if the store conditionally cannot offer me a product interface that will be translated into ukrainian, what should i do, who should i contact if we are talking about services, you clearly have the right contact the address of the authorized person, all our details are on the official website language ombudsman.gov.ua in addition to this, you can

contact the state consumer service, this is a violation of consumer rules, including obtaining information about a service or product, the code of ukraine on administrative offenses of the state consumer service also applies there knows how to work , including with those who broke the law, that is, in principle, these fines that we are talking about, they should theoretically already come into force, as it was cool, it came into effect today, of course, ok recently, by the way we all somehow saw two such well-known s-s-celebrities from ukraine and olya polyakova, one is called masha yefrosinina and who said i know who it really is, well olya polyakova i don't know very well i think she sings and professionally, i also know her very well. she is a presenter. they are well-known and in general. well, you

know what surprises me. you know, i am saying, now i am saying that i, for example, do not know who olya polyakova is. i was in estonia when i was impressed. there is russian. well, okay, no so russian-speaking community and the estonian-speaking community live absolutely parallel, they are actually isolated from each other, what happened in the end, that is, they listen to different music, they watch different tv channels, they read different books, and this is a problem for estonia, too, to a certain extent, because it is not so easy for them to accept this russian-speaking, then from them people switch to estonian, estonianize, it’s obvious to say that. сейчас мешено мешено he says it's not for us, it's hard , you're not used to it, but you know , the estonianization of estonia, so to speak, took place in the

1990s, when the independence of the republic of estonia was restored, and since then estonia, although it seemed territorial, it is quite small passed the way look at the declaration of independence, the approval of its constitution, the creation of the armed forces of ukraine, the accession to the eu and nato. but of course, one of the first steps was the introduction of a state language policy in in particular, in the context of the adoption of the law on language since the 1990s , the national commission for the standards of the estonian language has been working in estonia. well, of course, there are inspectorates that monitor the implementation of the language law. and this is by default absolutely acceptable in the context of the activities of the countries of the european union. we cooperate with these organizations and on march 21 it entered of the european federation of national language institutes, these institutions can, in particular, influence decision-making regarding citizenship, if not in all the baltic states

such a status as citizens of the country and non-citizens of ukraine, as for the statements of our celebrities from anyone and everyone else, i think that this is nothing more than attracting attention and with a sense of humor i can help them with textbooks, let them practice a little and learn the ukrainian language, i would not apply attention to those who are on the right-wing and the so-called language problem, i usually focused around those who are really trying to solve these problems here is the previous story about the opening of a conversation club in the only communal bookstore in the city of kyiv saivo is just talking about the fact that hundreds of people who switched to these language songs the day before yesterday. this is absolutely normal. there is a demand and there is a way. thank you very much . taras kremin, the language ombudsman, joined us on the day when the law on language finally came into effect. all its norms. well and today we talk more about state-building decisions in this broadcast, and in particular, 32 years ago, the verkhovna rada, when

the ukrainian soviet socialist republic adopted the declaration on the state sovereignty of ukraine, and by the way, in 91 on july 16, independence day was celebrated on july 16, because it was believed that it was the countdown of the state , actually, it was already in touch with us. ep yaroslav kendzyur, a member of the dissident movement of ukraine of good health of six convocations from the first to the sixth actually, mr. yaroslav, i would ask myself, did i start like this without it, or actually the deputies who approved and prepared this draft law, mr. vasylenko, in the end, he is the same one who wrote many of these many points of this declaration, or at that time it was possible to predict that a war with russia would happen

were you among your acquaintances with the federation? are you the kind of people who knew that it would happen sooner or later and why it was visible? well, i remember very clearly every day. this day, since july 15, and everything that preceded it the adoption of the declaration on state sovereignty that when the information board in the session hall lit up after the vote, the number 355 votes in favor lit up. of course, we rejoiced like children. we thought that we had fulfilled our mission, we had proclaimed an independent

ukrainian state, now you see the footage where after the approval of this document, we went to the october revolution square and this is the speech of vyacheslav chornovol, and it would be very nice to give it so that the audience could hear how vyacheslav evaluated the events of july 16. he says that so it's great that we adopted this, but it's only the first step, every word, every phrase in this declaration still needs to be built up with the appropriate muscles so that this declaration prevails, it works, and few people thought, of course, what awaits ukraine ahead already later already after the adoption of the act

independence on august 24, we were already a little more serious and evaluated the perspective of those documents , because those who knew our ukrainian history well and knew that ukraine had suffered for many centuries from our neighbor understood that muscovy would never give ukraine peace until it either destroyed ukraine or does not subjugate itself in such a way that it will be impossible to breathe in ukraine , but after all, it was when we say that this is the first step towards this independence that we dream of, it is true, but when we look deeper, after all, there were a lot of such steps and even in the 20th

century we made many efforts and steps, but they were unsuccessful and the penultimate step before the declaration was on june 30, 1941, when the organization of ukrainian nationalists proclaimed the act of restoration of state independence act of restoration of statehood of ukraine that's how he sounded what what levko lukyanenko just khomenko was of enormous weight and andriy said that we, er, one year, in the 91st year, er, on july 16, er, we celebrated independence day as the highest and greatest state holiday well, it so happened that already in the same 91st year, already in august, we received this act, which we

had to wait and work on so that no one had any reservations or doubts, we confirmed it at the all-ukrainian referendum on december 1, 91 -th year and until then literally an hour after the adoption of the act of independence, poland, then canada, then like a wave, the eyes of the recognition of the ukrainian state rolled and on the political map of the world, the ukrainian independent national state, which we are very sorry. and today i think that this will be the last battle, the last war for the independence of the

ukrainian state. god forbid, god forbid. actually this is a speech, you can hear it sober and you can here are perspectives from the 1990s let's listen july 16, 1990 vyacheslav chornovil 3 uah 50 the state and many people gave their lives on that way and for today when we stopped here together, we must remember that the state order
