reforms, you say, but in fact, let's be honest. this war is not for territory. putin does not need our territories. this war is not for people. everyone has already understood that ukrainians they are not needed, they are simply thrown for meat, this war is for a civilizational choice, ours is a civilizational choice with you, so that we do not sit in abandoned villages like in russia and do not give all the money to the center, but that we be and restore our right to be a full-fledged part european developed full-fledged society."

i am putin in ukraine. well, look, then i thought that in three days he would capture kyiv, so he thought that we have moscow, like they have moscow, which lives on a lot and there are some beets there, some belgorodskaya bryansk region where people do not know what a refrigerator is toilet, poor people live because the poor are poor, because they are stupid in us during these 8 years, huge transformations took place in our communities, villages, cities, districts , became strong, capable, independent people in these villages when they received money and authority for places

as a result of the reforms, they felt that they had an impact on something, they repaired the school, they built a dispensary where they are treated, they laid a road , put a well, a bus stop, they saw that they could change and make their life in the village, in the village, in the city comfortable, and because of this, you don't have to sit in front of the tv and wait until some website gives you something from the sky, they themselves can influence and said hello from kyiv, give us money here for places, return our taxes, we ourselves know what to do with them, they learned to make decisions and that's why when this collective putin came in - the very first villages on the border began to simply extinguish and kill these russians with their bare hands, the people in these villages still had to defend new outpatient clinics, european -type hospitals with european services in district centers , uh, they didn't want it in them took away, they did not

sit and wait for instructions from the center, and this is a huge achievement, because the government that we have in ukraine now is the basis of national resistance and the basis of our survival with you, because now every community has its own mini army the army is a voluntary formation, they are not partisans, they are not hiding in the forest, they have become completely legitimate on the basis of this structure, which was created during these years, and this is incredible, it is super . during collectivization, ordinary ukrainian peasants, townspeople, residents of communities who came out naked against russian tanks even when artillery was pointed at them, that is why we decided to make this program, it is extremely important now for you and me and the basis of our

national resistance and survival is self-government, we will talk about great ukrainians from small communities and about the fact that only you and i must defend our great ukrainians - these are not the little ones who live in the head of education loboda and whine as well as sveta herself, and these are the ones who are able to stand up and beat someone who came to his house. and one of the examples of indomitability that i wanted to show you today. as 300 years ago he gave his age to the mozkovites in the battle of konotop, and under the guidance of the ukrainian hetman e vyhovsky, and in 2022 he also met the mozkovites who took the city of obolug, we will talk with the mayor of konotop, artem simenikhin, i am glad to congratulate artem, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes well, i

would like to remind how it was and to show our viewers who may have already forgotten, er, it was the beginning of march, yes, konotop was under siege and brainy came to you for negotiations, so let's watch this video when people gathered near the city council while there were negotiations, let's see , they have set conditions for us, now if we start to oppose them, they will bombard the city with artillery if someone wants to fight i

'm fighting for what i'm delaying to fight, we all make decisions together and because the artillery was aimed at us, it was actually aimed at us artillery on konotop, they came to negotiate and artem semenikhin, the mayor of the city, came out to the people and asked if we will fight or if we will submit. konotopians said we will fight. with you, and you can join right now in the comments and in your reactions on youtube, because there is also a broadcast there, in addition to the espresso broadcast, please state your position, write comments and we will definitely voice them artem, you went to konotopchan then, what kind of reaction did you get from them we expected

it was expected that they would say we will fight, i was sure that they would tell at least their majority that we would fight and not obey as you said, i was sure of this, although there was probably such a fear that it was possible, they were afraid that there something will happen, something will die, something will be destroyed. well, i 'll tell you that the lion's share of people who were present at that time during the city council often raised their hands to fight, and that made me happy. at that moment, i understood that the city would not fall and the city would stand . and the city will fight at this very moment, i realized it and well, i was happy about it, i understand that it is not known how it will end, it is not known what will be the meaning of people with these who raise their hands and who do not raise their hands to fight eh but i understood that what we stand for, that we will defeat a that we still have genetics and that blood of ours that at one time in 1659, that is 363 years ago,

held the city when even then the muscovites went very deep into the rear of ukrainian territory, they already took nizhyn and reached kyiv and we reached the dnieper and konotop stood here and held out for almost two and a half months. we were under siege then, we did not surrender and created such a bridgehead for the troops of hetman ivan vyhovsky, who brought reinforcements, including from our allies, from the lithuanians, even the germans took part crimean tatars, poles, and all of us together then defeated them near konotop. that is, we resisted and this and genetics played their role now, that is, you were the first to stand , simple people from konotop and gave this time in order to orientate and strengthen all these forces. teroborona, how is the defense in konotop now organized, uh, how is this uh,

human impulse, it has now transformed into a more systematic defense, you know, there are many very things that i want to say about who we are. i think that after the victory it will be possible to write a book in particular. well, not only about that, many people, but especially about konotop. indeed , territorial defense was created very slowly in our country, then when these battles began there, even on the territory of the city, well, let's say yes, there were several dozen men from this tereborona, they were there, well, that’s a separate story, but when they didn’t become this defense, which was formed at the official level, when the military officially became our armed forces of ukraine, people were left alone on the territory of the city on the assembly itself, and here is more detail, artem, please, i will interrupt you right away, i want to update, because you said in the interview at the time, it seems to have been on february 25, so

that we were neither foreign nor our own . our heroic brigade then received an order to occupy the line of defense along chernihiv in the chernihiv region, that is, to hold this line in order to prevent the enemy from reaching kyiv . the counteroffensive was in sumy oblast, chernihiv oblast, kyiv oblast, and they were taken away and placed along that line of defense. i can already voice this because the situation has already changed. you can say that they carried out the order heroically. the lines from chernihiv and here to nizhyn about this here is a piece of this section of the front it was just theirs and

some of their units were involved a-- the anti-terror police a-- the anti-terrorist there were several dozen of them, they also received an order then to join to the 58th brigade and to oppose the fact that these several dozen men who were actually at that time well , they didn't even have weapons at that time, there is a separate issue, of course. but when people, ordinary people, peaceful residents found themselves alone with the enemy when well, you saw what is expected of us. what should be done, what should be fought for? i want to thank our 58th brigade for not deliberately taking weapons out of their warehouses, they left them for ordinary people, for us, you gave them away with a chainsaw , and we are thanks to them. that because the 58th brigade is not she took these weapons with her and they left them and

we armed people for us and we created partisan units now i can partially say about it, not everything can be told, partially we had partisan units, people who left came out night and day, they are there under different there, let's say, they appeared there, they appeared there, they even crossed paths with the uh, occupiers. well, it's just a miracle, let's say, such situations arose, how they survived, it's just a miracle, and they brought with them some good things, gifts, after going to that place where are they? where were they going? then they waited and drove the tanks, or in the morning when the ork tanks were going in the direction of boryspil, just to konotopsky , the partisans did everything so that as few as possible of these tanks and these trucks with weapons and provisions with the orks

reached brovary, this is exactly what they did in konotopsk as could artem and where are these partisans now, are they in the dfg, community volunteer battalions, or did they join the armed forces of ukraine in the army? look, we have created a full-fledged territorial defense, a full-fledged territorial defense, now this is what it is necessary exactly well, what should have been organized, it was already her fault, it was actually organized when you were under siege, because yes, from the wheels, you said correctly, that is, we were almost completely under siege, we had almost no communication with the free world, with a large country. we are there they tried to get some humanitarian goods and food for the people, so that they were in the shops, there was nothing to eat and buy. but at the same time, as they say

, good things came rolling in, so we gradually accumulated the strength for that in order to resist, to organize territorial defense, and i want to say that the critical moment was that in the video, we managed to distribute the weapons that the 58th brigade deliberately left for us, but unfortunately it so happened that there was no ammunition for these weapons that is, when i spoke with this thank god, the deceased, this so -called major gryzlov is a fake name, his name is actually a different surname, he is a fan of the hussars and the party, let's show major gryzlov - he is the one who comes out of your office, he he came out with grenades in his hands, it is true that he had explosives in his hands, but now they said that when they

entered the office, this major grizlov, i drove up about 10-15 minutes after they arrived at the city council, i drove up, they entered then were not in my office. i think if they would have appeared in mine, because they are in stepan bandera's apartment , and they have been hanging for a long time. i was talking to them by the way in the ukrainian language, and it was very maddeningly simple, and then they began to tell us that let's introduce patrols, we will occupy the weapons that were allegedly stolen from the warehouses, looted by the 58th brigade, there is something else there so that there will be order in the city, there will be such a plan, i say thank you well, i, as the mayor of the city,

tell you that we don't need any patrols here, and the weapons have really been dismantled. he said that you have three, three or four and a half hundred small arms scattered among the people, that's right. crime will be somewhat high i say well you are wrong, i say no, not three, not four hundred. i say 2.5 thousand units of small arms, from pistols to machine guns, i also say about 3.5-4,500 hryvnias of grenade launchers. face after these words of mine and eh i said what and i say the roadblock you put up at the entrance to konotop from the side of the meat processing plant from the side of the city of sum i tell you i simply advise you to remove it because i do not control people their impulses people are patriotic they organized themselves and well, i heard that in the bazaar today what? probably tonight at that

block post you won't be there, that's why i just advise you to pick it up. what do you think? he left and 10 minutes ago the block post is no longer there, they have taken off. by the way, there is still a great merit to the inhabitants of our village, the cossack village of podlipne the centers of our urban territorial community, yes, it’s a village near konotop. well , the good ones had a good time there with this katsap, and sugar was added to diesel fuel there, and magical pies were made there. a lot of things were interesting to people, because it was phenomenal people who went out without bullets against tanks, artillery, they went out to the party, this is such an old ukrainian tradition, they just went out to the occupiers, they said what they say, get out of

here, the car, ukraine, get out of my way, you need to be here, here, there, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes

, glory to the nation, death to the enemies, this is simply amazing. they could easily be shot so much that people have such a desire to explain to them first to explain and then in front of artem and you are there at these negotiations, even with your arch- enemies, whom you used to fight with them there and they called the mafia. yes, it is true that ukrainians unite before the execution for the sake of survival, thank god the execution did not take place. yes, at that moment, i really had to communicate even with my secret enemies and unite in order to oppose this reality. to a deadly threat . it's really true and uh. well, even for myself, i didn't expect that our communication could be like this. well, here, here, it really united us, this situation. by the way, i want to separately mark our

konotop community, well, these people, what here on video then there were a lot more of them, they went on foot to the exit from the city and manually began to build fortifications here by the way. they are. i can see local people on the video now. there are some here. well, i won’t say which ones, and then the tanks worked quietly. they burned it at night. so, when you already led them away, they left. well, they left the city. so you drove them along the road, then the people began to fortify themselves and realized that they had to continue to defend themselves. e in benevolent virtues teroboron or where are they or in the partisans ? well, we are now creating a ftg because there is such a large group of people who did not join

the teroboron or the armed forces due to the fact that some of them have their own work there. some people can’t do business, some people’s age doesn’t allow it, but someone else’s partisans are doing great for someone there. there are children there and something else, that is, there are many people who cannot join such formations because it involves permanent duty shifts there and so on and so on and what is the deftg it's cool that a person is not is tied to the duty of service, somewhere in the opinion of positive partisans, such a mini-mini-army of the community is cool, artem, but they do not receive a salary, it is possible from the local budget, how do you solve this issue, and they do not need a salary, where do ftg join conscious people who go well, wages are not a priority for them. they have a job, they earn a--and the armed forces and territorial defense receive their salaries because they

completely give their time to service, that is, they carry out services, they need to be paid for it that you have children to feed and families to get , that's why they will receive a salary. and this is the category of people who, due to various circumstances, cannot join the regular troops, this is already training, they have a job, that is, let's say this to the average person of the middle class that's why pensioners are not suitable for physical reasons. well, let's say that health is not a parameter, but i won't name people's names, but there is a person who has the second group of disabilities. he is not in any army. will be taken away, but it is perfectly simple it's great with explosives well, it's just beautiful, he can make anything and blow it up anywhere and anytime, well, they won't

take him to the army because he has the second group of disabilities. that's all. and he can go to the df and have legal access to explosives and weapons that is, this is, well, let's say this, the legalization, the legitimization of weapons in the hands of ordinary people who love their country and want to defend it. it's very cool from the budget for this defense once we have it, look. we are currently undergoing a process and formation we have left to receive treatment of commanders as soon as we receive approval for a commander, we have enough resources reserved for the purchase well, let's say it's enough for a by-character, but it's enough to buy good things, that is, we'll talk further about the dfg, we'll add it to our programs, that's what we're talking about opposition from below about people

's rule and self-defense and self-governance of artem, this is the last question on this, you have been a mayor since the 15th year, and then it was not yet a community, and during this time ukraine went through the path of forming people's rule from below, and here you are, you see from qualitative changes in the community, now we can say that this is what we are now relying on. if it weren't for it, we would sit and wait until they give us instructions from there, instead of disassembling weapons. look, you are from sumy and you know very well some things that we still have of some er some situations of some people er you will name everything you understand what i'm talking about which were directly tangential to the formation of these er boundaries of territorial communities and that's how it happened what for example konotop that's how we had a city we have such we are left with a non-united territorial one

our community is an urban territorial community of mg. we used to have three villages within the city limits and that’s what remained, and the neighboring community is popivska. well, for example, let’s call it popivska. they made themselves an office, well, their city council is in the center of konotop, they keep their units of communal services in the center of konotop, their villages so to speak, they are even closer to us than those villages that are in our urban territorial community, at one time it was very profitable for someone, and you know who, but i think that after the victory, we will talk about it, we still need to change this shows that the work has not yet begun, but we are moving in the right direction with you there, and there was also a wonderful initiative from the community, again without waiting until there is a decision at the central level. and there was
