i welcome you to the broadcast of the interview on franz 24. the war in ukraine continues for the 6th month, and today our guest is the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, mr. dmytro kuleba, on a call from the city of kyiv. thank you, mr. ministers. south of ukraine, we are also talking about a possible counterattack by ukrainian troops in the direction of kherson, as you think it is possible that the fate of ukraine will be decided there and not in donbas, the fate of ukraine is decided on every square kilometer of the front line and

i would like to add that today its length is more than 2000 square kilometers from all front-line areas bad, however, the current battles that are being fought in the east are extremely important portent, in particular, it is about the issue of securing and functioning of the grain export channels, which were recently agreed upon during negotiations in istanbul, ukrainian officials are hearing about a possible counteroffensive already in august, the armed forces of ukraine is such a plan for the recapture of sovereign ukrainian territory, which is key in many directions, it would be surprising if ukraine did not build its own plans counterattacks, of course, our strategy includes stopping the enemy in the south and transitioning to a

counterattack, so our main goal in this war is to liberate ukrainian territories from russian occupiers and restore territorial integrity, touching on the issue of the goals of the war, your visa officer in moscow, sergey lavrov, recently stated quite clearly and for the first time that the whole of russia goes far beyond the borders of donbas, from the first day of the russian invasion , we were aware that russia's appetites include the entire territory of ukraine, and what is it doing now minister lavrov and other russian official representatives one day talking about openness to negotiations and the other voicing their goals to seize further territories of ukraine, this is just another smoke screen. in addition, we see how

russia is preparing for the actual annexation of the recently occupied territories in the south and east of ukraine , therefore the russian strategy it is quite obvious that russia is expected to organize so-called referendums in the occupied territories in the coming week option is one of the possible options they have not yet worked out the scenario according to which they will stage these referendums, and we all understand that these will be staged performances, they have clearly set themselves the goal of absorbing these territories, but they have not yet decided how you mentioned the importance of exports, in particular agricultural food, a few days ago there were negotiations with the participation of the un and turkey, where

agreements were concluded on the transportation of ukrainian grain to the black sea equatorial region, and immediately russia responded with strikes on one of the odesa ports, do we understand correctly from your words that despite all this the agreement remains valid the agreement remains valid for ukraine the un and turkey will do everything possible to ensure that this agreement is justified by ukraine and that ukrainian food reaches world markets and helps to overcome the risks of famine and the rise in food prices in the countries of africa, asia and the whole world, therefore russia's behavior remains unpredictable we are counting on the help of the un and turkey , which acted as a guarantor of russia's compliance with the agreements. it is known that a

joint coordination center in istanbul will soon be operational facilitating the implementation of the agreements, so it seems that the level of trust still remains sufficient at the current stage. is this the project? it is difficult to talk about trust. when we are dealing with russia, but ukraine puts its trust in the un and turkey , of course, in itself, in particular, in its defense potential . we hope that our tripartite efforts will bring the desired result, the arbitrary desire of ukrainians to defend themselves is connected with the urgent need for modern high-precision weapons, there has already been a lot of talk about rocket salvo fire systems, the so-called hummers, the usa has already transferred 12 such systems to ukraine and additionally allocated four more, but it seems that you need a much larger number of them to

change the situation on the field, i'm afraid you're leaving, you're not at sea of course we need more systems, we need them now, not later and we appeal to various countries with a request to provide weapons, everyone is now chained to the news from the usa, because they provide us with himars multiple rocket systems, but also other countries help us with weapons and france is one of them, and the biggest challenge today is the speed of delivery. the range of such weapons is also a challenge. we know that the usa and other countries do not agree to hand over long-range missiles to ukraine, fearing that you will attack the territory of russia, or such weapons are absolutely necessary for ukraine to defend itself. and is such a reluctance to take action justified? well, there is a ruin somewhere

, such a reluctance is justified. we continue to discuss this issue with our partners, but we must respect their vision and assessment of the situation. we we do not intend to attack russia we seek to liberate our territories this should start and end every discussion about arms supplies gazprom announced a reduction in gas supplies to europe on tuesday eu energy ministers agreed to a voluntary reduction in russian gas consumption what is your view on what others call gas blackmail or russia's gas war against europe in ukraine, these

are all components of the same war in ukraine. putin is fighting with missiles and tanks in europe with gas prices and inflation, that in ukraine, that in europe, his goals remain the same, namely to knock on every door, reach every family and make our lives miserable, he simply achieves his goal by different means, but his plan is the same for all phases and i'lly hoped i sincerely hope that european governments and societies will realize what his efforts entail and will not bend under his pressure and blackmail, because it is impossible to negotiate with him, either we or he, the sixth month of the war has begun, it seems that the situation on the front line is already

are you not so active or are you afraid of the higher western european countries will get tired of the issue of the war in ukraine, worrying about the problems of rising prices for gas and electricity due to the fact that winter is approaching and that for them the priority will be the insulation of their homes and not help to ukrainians arming ukrainians, i do not consider this formulation of the choice to be correct to either insulate their homes or help ukraine, as i categorically deny such a statement of choice, these are two separate processes, we are fighting i can note i can not impose any opinion or rhetoricians, if they decide that it is safer for them to negotiate with putin, then this is their voluntary choice. the truth is that putin will perceive such a gesture as a manifestation of weakness and will only increase his pressure, and in

such a scenario, they will only lose, but if there are those who decide to convince themselves of this. for putin, they will stand in the way of the destruction of his life because he will always have the war file. we will continue to fight to protect not only ourselves and our country, but also the opportunity for europe to live in peace and prosperity and on the rest, apart from modern weapons systems. what else can europe and the west help you now? we need endurance. endurance is not for the ukrainian people. we have it. we need europe and the west to help us with their endurance . with us

elitist dictatorial regimes, the first ship loaded with ukrainian grain arrived in turkey, the information was confirmed by the ministry of defense of the country, the dry cargo has already anchored in the bosphorus, representatives of the coordination commission in an inspection will be carried out in istanbul, after which the ship will head to lebanon through a security corridor confirmed by the un and turkey, with 26,000 tons of corn on board. millions of people around the world were waiting for the release of the odesa sports ship, because due to russian aggression, the export of ukrainian grain was blocked, and this carried the threat of global hunger. today , another 16 ships with ukrainian grain are waiting for the shipment of kabaev on the black list of america,

the office for the control of foreign assets of the us treasury department on tuesday expanded the list of sanctioned persons from russia by adding a russian athlete and probably putin's common-law wife alina kabaeva, in particular, a number of collaborators of russia in the occupied territories are now under sanctions, reports the publication european pravda has expanded sanctions against russia for its unjustified aggression against ukraine and canada, the canadian minister of foreign affairs, meleni zhuli , quoted, we will not allow putin and its accomplices to act with impunity, the outrageous actions of the russian war machine will not be forgotten and canada will continue to work with international partners on by bringing russia to justice, renewed sanctions will apply against 43 more russian military officials and 17 companies involved in the war against ukraine. i will remind you that on july 10, canada made a sanction exception for gazprom and

repaired the nord stream turbine minus two more warehouses. the ukrainian military continues to destroy russian stocks. in the kherson region today, the occupiers lost two warehouses with ammunition, our defenders struck filigree in the area of ​​chernobaivka , and also about the main explosion near the railway on the brylivka station, on the air of the national marathon, the only news was announced by the former adviser to the head of the kherson ova and deputy of the kherson regional council serhii khlan, the russians are trying to replenish their losses with manpower and are charging paratroopers into the region. by the way, the government appointed yaroslav yanushevich as the head of the kherson regional state administration. year in kyiv, he is an honored economist of ukraine, almost a master of sports of the international class, spaint-gold, yanushevich worked in various departments ministry of finance and 10 years ago, a document was in charge of the enterprise. the security service of ukraine

captured in kyiv, lviv, and the mykolaiv oblast the squirrels who were transporting conscripts abroad for money, for the opportunity to leave they received from four to fifteen thousand dollars, depending on the region and the degree of risk to the customer employees of a kyiv medical facility, a former assistant to a people's deputy from the banned party of the ukrainian workers' party, were also involved in the criminal scheme, he helped make fake certificates to free the men and of evil in the armed forces also promised to help cross the border in lviv, such a scheme was organized by a local resident, but he caught fire on the very first order and was detained in the kyiv region demining of territories that were under russian occupation and in places where battles took place, pyrotechnic units of the state emergency service are already examined almost 20,000 hectares of the territory of the kyiv region, where they found and destroyed almost

58,000 munitions. and streets in populated areas currently, the main attention is focused on checking fields and forest strips, first of all, sappers inspect agricultural lands in the state emergency service call on people to be cautious and careful to report all dangerous finds and not to go to places that have not been checked by pyrotechnicians, there are many cases when people neglect a certain this is the information we provide that do not touch, be careful not to enter the field roads until they are checked and unfortunately, they happen to us almost every week, two cases when people are injured or die on the remains of deep-dangerous objects , the parliament is preparing to adopt the law on media in the first reading. it must encompass the new reality of the information space, in particular, regulate the activities of the internet mass media during the development of the law, the law was quite sharply criticized for fear of censorship, and

experts analyzed all the controversial points and assured that it was adapted 100% to european standards and martial law, another discussion took place today, the developers hope that the deputies will vote the law is in the first reading in the fall, and already in december after the final approval, the president will sign it, olga chayko with details, ukrainian mass media are preparing for new legislative realities already in the fall, deputies must vote on a new law on media after the eu gave us a clear perspective on membership, ukrainian laws must correspond to european ones in addition, there is a war going on in ukraine, so the media law developed a few dozen years ago is hopelessly out of date . modern approaches to the regulation of the media market are no longer television, they are no longer print media, and the legislation must be modern. the law is

being developed again in partnership with eu experts, who especially emphasize the independence of the national regulator of the ukrainian national council for television and radio broadcasting and emphasizes that the independence of the change this is primarily protection and support for the subjects of information activities, not those of possible censorship. olga gerasimyuk was a well- known journalist and tv presenter in the past, and now the national council is convinced that this law will definitely protect freedom of speech. there is nothing written anywhere that could indicate the possibility for the regulator to become a monster censor and what else is it called that it does not regulate the activities of journalists. an independent regulator is independent media. this is a direct and absolutely formula. the national council according to document should become more independent and get more rights, for example, it will be able to punish without a court decision those who tried to hide russian owners or spread the narrative of aggressor countries,

thus our law is somewhat different from european we are introducing analogs, and well, norms that allow us to legally defend the ukrainian information space from the aggression of barbarians from russia, not through court decisions, and the most important thing is that the law finally unblocks all those patches of other laws that have already been patched, for example, the internet is stuck, and so they will be able to to be accredited for important events, at the same time they will have to strictly follow the legislation, especially when talking about the war, violators will first be warned and then fined, the national council will not regulate all bloggers in ukraine if they do not come and do not want to recognize themselves online media for online media, the requirements regarding not spreading symbols of invasion are relevant and accordingly the

draft law provides for responsibility for violating these requirements, the head of the specialized committee of the council, mykyta paturaev, says the law prescribes clear and fair the rules of the game protect freedom of speech and promote the snake's economic independence, at the same time we cannot see their responsibility for spreading false information without such a document european integration criteria of this draft law are very simple, it will contain what corresponds to the interests of ukraine and european legislation and what is already in it and corresponds to it and will remain what is already in the fall and the president will sign it by december 1 olga chayko viktor zelenkov ictv facts - the only news in kharkiv, the squirrels that live in the central park are so weaned from a large number of

people that they happily go to the hands of individual visitors. and when they take the nuts to the hiding place, they return for a new portion. in kharkiv disneyland, hotels were damaged five times by rocket launchers and rockets, and two dozen attractions were damaged, but the occupying squirrels were not scared, fluffy despite the shelling, they are preparing for the winter in kharkiv, nothing else for now, that's all, but the marathon continues, have a good and peaceful night, an ordinary family in котроя был какие там мечты которые которой время высо время всё всё все высовалос mariupol's reach in all respects people bury the corpses of their neighbors in their own yard, just in the yard fucking in russian in we are ordered to shoot without warnings, you speak one language, they understand exactly what you are begging them to do well, it does not work now, the

as a participant in the premiere of the documentary film from mariupol, gennady of istanbul, please send an sms message or call later today at 9:30 p.m. don't miss it well, then we continue our marathon with one important event which took place today in kyiv at first glance. it is certainly not as important an event as the arrival of nancy-pylos to taiwan, but in the future it will have a huge impact for ukraine, since it is about ukrainian media. so, today in the capital , a round table was held on the new law on media and the recommendations of the european commission within the framework of ukraine's obtaining the status of a candidate for membership in the eu , this round table was organized by the national council of ukraine on television and radio broadcasting, and

now the head of the national council, olga gerasimyuk, is with us in eteri ms. olya good evening. i think i am not exaggerating when i say that this bill on media will have a very decisive importance for ukraine in the future, since its adoption is one of the seven prerequisites for our candidate status for the eu, and talks about this bill go from in the 19th year, in this version, as it is now, but it was sharpened even earlier, tell me who managed to gather at this round table today and whether there were really different representatives and different views. 10 years ago, it’s time to finish the truth those conversations and move on to really

reforming, and all the more so that today we are expected in the european union and you and i are entering , together with our viewers and listeners, into that information space where life follows rules and procedures and we would like to be our legislation also reflected the real life in which ukraine has been living for a long time. that is, we have been living with you for a long time not only in the space of television and radio . and in this sea, we must try to find our way and especially to fight back from the enemies, so answering your question, the national today took on the role of the organizer, but only the organizer of this platform in order to gather at this round table both in person and also

through means the internet is again about the digital age of everyone who is interested, you are talking about this future of ours and there were really presented the most diverse opinions there were also those people who developed this project, there was the head of the kyiv of the office of the council of europe, which constantly accompanies this struggle of ours for access to the european regulatory space, there were members of the working group that developed this bill, and they represent the most diverse media, they represent the media community, and media experts were opponents of this bill, which i personally urged to be persuasive . not just saying that it doesn't suit us, but to say what exactly and you know my impression that today's meeting united everyone and

those who were for and who were against and who simply add to what we have already worked on is united by the fact that we are absolutely ready for reform in the media space and that we all must finally make this bill a law, then the main emphasis during the discussion, which i listened to thanks to the online broadcast. by the way, this is about online media er, considerable attention was paid because there are clear requirements for this bill to comply with european standards, and it is also said that the national council for television and radio broadcasting should also be a politically independent body, but as far as i understand today's discussion is about a clause in this

draft law that will allow the national council to close the media under martial law or revoke their licenses. is this not a violation of the right to freedom of speech? if so, as far as i understand european practice, the court does it, he decides, i will try. this knot that you have tied, those few questions can be solved, you know in what way, and one of the most important requirements for our implementation of this media reform, one of the most important requirements is precisely the requirement which is recorded audiovisual directives - this is such a document that uh, well, to which we must harmonize our legislation in order to fully comply with european rules, that's right, in this

document, uh, this requirement to strengthen the role of uh, the national regulator is written, and i would also broadcast this is how to strengthen the independence of the national regulator from any influence from the influence of the government in any branch from the influence of the political outflow of various acts, i.e. the national council as a regulator is one of many of european regulators, they exist in all countries, and the model of an independent regulator has been practiced since the 80s, and we, as the national council of ukraine, who have been for a quarter of a century, today want to demonstrate exactly this new political , new new policy, er, culture of independence regulator, and this requirement is written in the requirements for

ukraine from the european union, i.e., and then you said that in this law there is such and such a right for the national council to close channels. you see, the point is that for the conditions of wartime, the current legislation governed by our regulator does not foresee anything at all, that is, even when we already knew that a crazy information battle was going on when our internal e. yes, they already attacked ukraine when, for example, they called the war in the donbass a civil conflict and, accordingly, it gave

our enemies the opportunity to blame ukraine for what was happening in the donbass, and all those things we did not we could not harm it, we could not influence it due to the fact that the national council did not have any right to do so, and when today we have a war, that is , in this draft law that we are now, i think we will vote for sure, there is a section the ninth, which is called restrictions related to armed aggression, and these restrictions precisely provide for the right to neutralize those who are waging war against ukraine. that is, the right to react to such things occurs only in the case when currents of other media call for
