it's very difficult to combine. of course you have to be impartial if you're a reporter. but it's your country, your war, your friends. it's difficult . then when something started somewhere , there were two billion of them aggravated from from uh well, although since the little war max always tried to be somewhere closer to the front line, he partially disregarding his own safety, he tried to show what was really happening before the beginning of the large -scale invasion, few photographers, uh, filmed the battles, and max was one of those who filmed, because many people did not understand what war was, and here max showed what war was. and here he

went just on the eve of the 24th and he met the war on the front line of the ganza uspen, we spent several days working together and suddenly the attack on kyiv happened, we talked and he told me the russians will never conquer this country, i said they just attacked kyiv and he replied they never will take this country, they will need a million people, but they will still never conquer this country. these were one of his last words. well, when they come back, he drove into kharkiv. he couldn't let them pass because he was in a car, and this is probably one of the first photos directly from the destroyed equipment and the destroyed russians, who then did not hold the battle, they retreated, max knows that max was just shooting if on the hot tracks immediately after the battle,

the destroyed equipment and the occupants. to the unit of the commander and the unit was our comrade with whom we were together in ilovaisk and he was driving, he was filming how they were fighting. i didn't follow him, that is, it was raining for a while while he was. we realized that he knew fchiv some weeks before we started the investigation if wolff, the french war correspondent, was with max levin they worked together in donbas and we decided together that i, as the head of the investigation department of reporters without borders, and he, as a military photographer who knew max, with whom he worked, will work together on the investigation of the investment of this investigation

was to find out what max did in the last days before his disappearance, so we interviewed family friends to find out more about what he did, how he covered the war, then in the second stage we tried to get materials about crimes, so we decided to get, despite some difficulties, to the crime scene , we met with several people because it was not important for us to gather information about which russian soldiers were in this village, what they did when they came, when they left, we tried to establish a connection with the crime that was committed in in the forest, a few kilometers from the village, this photo

was taken in the forest when we first tried to find max's car and the scene of the crime . was successful, we spent about four or five hours looking for the car. we didn't find it and decided to go back. score in the forest and this is max's car in the forest. as you can see, it's parked a little on the side of the road. it 's burned. max was found 70 m behind from the car saw bullet holes in the car, there were 14 of them in the car, we found two types of bullets from a kalashnikov assault rifle. and the nine-millimeter ones are of a much larger caliber, they

could have been fired from a pistol or a weapon belonging to special forces or a higher-ranking officer. they are already there somewhere . one of the holes in the car is quite large, one of the biggest we found. at this stage, we can say that he was shot three times, one bullet in the chest, there are two in the head, and the bullet we found went through the chest or through the head, but it was found in the same place where his body was lying, we omit that if this bullet was in the ground, then the russians shot max when he was already lying on the ground, that is why we are talking about the fact that it was an execution, this is substantial evidence, it did not happen due to random shooting, it was not an accident, this is a loss, well this is max's helmet, the nuts, by the way, the russian didn't eat, rather, everything he took

from maxima max always liked to take this piece of his car with him, he took it i don't know, some acquaintance of max's mother said that she wants to make a museum to the fighter but i think i'll give it there for the price of criminals we won't finish until they rebel before the court it may take months it may take months but we will investigate this case he was an outstanding journalist whose work he did was very important for his people for his country and i hope that one day we will prove this case to the end we will overcome we will resettle we will win and shield news together we are strong these words appeared 160

years ago almost 70 years it was forbidden to mention them now these words sound throughout the world like the anthem of freedom big steps begin with small steps affairs, thank you for your step, the state is us , the navy, the glory of the navy, the courage of the navy, the calmness of the navy, the justice of the navy, the hearts of the navy, the navy of the armed forces of ukraine,

because of the brutal war that was unleashed on the russians in ukraine, all the gymnasiums fell silent applause after performances and victories is no longer heard here. ukrainian gymnasts had to leave their homes and practice to save their lives, but for the sake of their family, the talented gymnast from mariupol, katya dyachenko, was unable to save herself. died as a result of the collapse of a house after being hit by russian shells. russian gymnasts are also taught to be silent. records and titles are more important to them than peace. however, we athletes of the world should not remain silent. i call on everyone to support the boycott

of russian national and team athletes. support ukraine on the sports front. you can stop the silence. kills, share your videos and publications, publish them on social networks and with the hashtags of the company, with the support of the ministry of youth and sports of ukraine, in the most difficult times for the country, faithful only to everything but the state also provides assistance to all those who are looking for a new job because of the war. there are employment centers in every city where vacancies are updated daily . choose conveniently and fill out the form on the official website in action or in the

chat . body, work, develop, live. we are not russia, thank god, from all points of view, we need to win not only this war for our independence, for the very existence of ukraine, but this war for our values, for freedom , for democracy, for human rights. i congratulate you oleksii on to the first channel of public broadcasting, thank you for taking the time to talk with us. i congratulate you and thank you for the invitation, and for the first time, not in a full-scale war, you joined the ranks of the defense, however, after some time, i will quote simply from your interview, we understood that people with real combat skills are needed at the front with experience, everyone else will be more useful in their place in the information war , volunteering in work with refugees, what place in this did you really choose for yourself three weeks before the enemy was repelled from kyiv and the russians retreated from here it is silent to be close to our teroborona.

but after that, i returned to work in the parliament, and therefore my front is political, diplomatic , and informational, and i think that this is also very important , especially i would say the informational diplomatic front, because after russia's failed blitzkrieg and ukraine - it repelled this attempt , in fact it was about a war of attrition and in this war the support of the free world is key for us and therefore there as the vice-president of the committee on migration of the parliamentary assembly the council of europe works a lot there, but just a few weeks ago he spoke in the us congress, testified about what is happening in the occupied territories, and certainly when i go abroad, the main topics are weapons, weapons, once again, weapons. and this is support for ukraine - these are new sanctions against the russian federation and this is a big job in which i am also involved and i make my contribution to this work. well, of course, it is informative because it is very

important to inform our society and the world about what is happening. and this is my youtube channel, which there already. i hope soon there will be a million followers. i have used all other tools. i communicate with many western media in order to convey our position. well, let's first create about your political front . under the conditions of martial law, this is again incognito, because there are no usual tv broadcasts, journalists do not have access to the backroom of the verkhovna rada in general, to the parliament building, and to the adoption of those or other decisions, society will find out after the fact that the verkhovna rada is currently under martial law, it is still a place for discussions or not, yes, and it is very important. ukraine has preserved parliamentarism and

ukraine has preserved the parliament as a constitution. we can return to the broadcast, it can be an indirect broadcast and record the entire meeting and explain it in full from the first second to the last second of the meeting there after a few hours, but people would be able to see how directly people's deputies are working, it is important that ukraine has preserved parliamentarism, the parliamentarian is working, the parliament met for the first time. a few hours after the beginning of the large-scale invasion, and then we met somewhere once every two weeks regularly, and this is extremely important not only for ukraine as a state to work and mechanisms everyone worked, but this is a very important marker for all our allies that ukraine, even in such difficult conditions, preserves key values ​​and parliamentarism. that is, this is democracy. the rule of law is all connected here, one of them is sometimes there are proposals for some kind of online voting as a categorical opponent of this, it is very

important to be in the building of the verkhovna rada in kyiv . that ukraine is alive, that, well, there are no questions about it now. but i will tell you in march. and who is there and in the western media and there are politicians, you are going to build buildings for them, it was very important to hear that there is a parliament, it lives, it works that is why it is necessary to give credit, the majority of people's deputies have not disappeared and come to work. of course, there are exceptions a, but according to these exceptions, they must work as law enforcement officers, so if there is no crime there is just a coward. well, then it will be a political responsibility, but for the most part, people's deputies work and this is, i repeat again, very, very important, if you were to evaluate the effectiveness of the work of the verkhovna rada now compared to peacetime, well, it is impossible to compare, because it

is a very different job, now you are faced with such with the problems that there are not enough votes to pass a certain decision, sometimes this happens, but in general it works, especially in the first months, there was an agreement that the decisions that are made should be consensual , that is, they should be supported by the absolute majority of people's deputies of the factions, and this, for the first time, saved time for discussion in the session hall and secondly, it just removed these issues that you are talking about, that is why we came, we knew the agenda, we worked it out before that, we discussed it in online committees, mainly in factions physically, that is, we meet, we work, and we already entered the hall with a clear position and worked quickly enough, and that is why i think that comparing peacetime peacetime functions of the parliament is much more than just law-making, it is also a control function, which is now lost to some extent, well, this is

objectively reality there or limited. well, it’s probably better to say limited, but it’s still a public discussion, because there is a discussion in valuable halls that is observed by society, this is also an important part of democracy, now with this a little worse, although i want to repeat this part again , should i return and show the entire verkhovna rada? i think people will be interested to see who is there, who is working, and it should be completely open, as it was always in peacetime. the tribune of the parliament was often like a place for the expression of some political gas but do you think it is appropriate to return this function as well? and this was not a function . in there are different opinions in the country, there is one country called the russian federation, they have the same opinion because only one person and the opinions of everyone else are of no

interest to us, a democratic free country in which there are different opinions and these opinions collided precisely on the site of the verkhovna rada and it was today, i think that to some extent it has gone away because the people's deputy perfectly understands that if you used to be from this site you addressed the whole society you only address your colleagues and therefore there are still discussions and different opinions but however of course, the return of the same broadcasts there will raise this level again, but that's good. i don't see anything wrong with this. thank god, we are not russia from all points of view, and we don't need it. we need not only to win this war for our independence, for the very existence of ukraine, but this is also a war for our values, for freedom, for democracy, for human rights, and here we have to be, well, absolutely, hmm , in favor of this and support it, and therefore i think that nothing bad will happen if people from the parliamentary rostrum will hear different

positions, this is normal, now the attitude of the majority towards the parliamentary opposition has changed compared to peacetime. to be honest, this is precisely the issue of the opposition, the authorities, it has gone away to some extent, therefore, the opposition of the authorities involves fighting each other. well, how is it to fight each other when there is a common enemy against which ukraine must be defended our joint and this is our joint task. i was a very active critic of president zelensky there until february 24, but since february 24 i say that for me there is no president zelensky, for me there is a supreme commander zelenskyi and i have to do everything. well, as it turned out, he is at this moment the commander-in-chief of this challenge that is simply fateful for ukraine, and i have to do everything i can on those fronts that we talked about, political, diplomatic, informational, volunteer, etc., in order to help him . if there was room here for the opposition to fight internally, there simply wouldn't be this, but that's another

story. what sometimes i say we will win, eh, of course that question will come back. there are many more discussions, but first we have to defeat the common enemy and protect the state, now it is obvious, although even now it is sometimes necessary. well, when you see some things that are wrong, you have to say it, and one of the main functions of the opposition in democratic societies is to be your own critic, to point out to the problems and for the government to correct them in a timely manner. the government now listens to the words of the opposition when the opposition points out that the government is doing something wrong, not always, not always. but sometimes there is a result and sometimes not, but that's why we have continue your work and point out those mistakes

that are also there. very good question. for example, i believe that we need to adopt a law on arms circulation and give the citizens of ukraine the opportunity to arm themselves and have weapons for self-defense. this topic has been waiting for huge discussions in society for years, and ukraine has not followed through but it seems to me that this war has shown that it is very important that every citizen who wants to defend the state should be able to do so with his own weapons, which he knows what he has at home, and in general, ukrainians have shown themselves to be a nation of cossacks, and a cossack cannot be deprived of his weapon, and that is why this it is important . i think that right now, at this moment when it needs to be adopted and what is being said on the sidelines of the parliament regarding this decision, we are setting the agenda, and after all, there is a majority for this . before february 24, i had a slightly different opinion, but

after february 24, it seems to me that it is obvious that we need to be given the opportunity so that every citizen of ukraine can defend himself and ukraine needs to review its relationship with the legislation here, and we should always be armed and ready in only one direction and activities of the president and, in principle, by the verkhovna rada as a legislative body, recently came across an electronic petition to the president entitled "on granting special status to citizens of ukraine who are maritime transport workers, including to sailors of inland waters to cross the state border of ukraine during the period of general mobilization well, why are you being asked questions because you are from odessa and odessa is there? 23,000

votes out of the 25,000 required. i spoke personally with sailors from odessa with my friends. they complain that the verkhovna rada is delaying the relevant laws . well, in principle, the government is delaying it, it is not approved. meanwhile , they are losing contracts, they are burning diplomas, certificates, they actually have nothing to live for because there is no way to earn. and this is the only thing they know how to do, and they are already talking about the fact that the industry itself can be lost. what do you think about this? thank you. look. well, the first months there, i would say the opinion was here, by the way, the verkhovna rada has nothing to do with it. because the procedure for going abroad is determined by the government and everything is determined there, we don’t really influence it here, but it’s obvious that there are two parts here, the first part is justice, because even men of other specialties can’t go abroad, they don't go abroad well, there are certain groups, yes, which we, for example, people's deputies

do not belong to them, or there are parents of three children. well, you know this list there, and when we take professions and specialties separately, many people thought that it would be unfair. well when you are a sailor, you can go there, but electricians can’t, yes, i don’t know why. well, in the first months, when this blitzkrieg happened, it was possible to understand, now the war has come again, i will repeat it in a different format, and we see it, the war is certainly such an exhaustion, and of course that the issue of the economy is very acute, and that is why i believe that in these conditions, we should give sailors the opportunity to work abroad, bring money to ukraine and feed their families, support the economy, because we are talking about quite a lot of money that these people earned before, but now they cannot earn it they can, and what’s more, there are cases when a sailor whose flight ends does not come to ukraine. yes, even because he understands that once he arrives, he will no longer be able to leave, his family goes to him, we lose

people, lose money, and so on, and if these people are needed for mobilization, then we just need to make this decision now, mobilize those who are needed, and those who are not needed today, and we understand that the naval forces of ukraine - this is not our strongest lanka, objectively, it is a reality, and therefore those who are not needed in the army they have to work and work to work for the country, really don’t lose this issue and they lose certificates and certain opportunities for the future well, simply, well, people have to work. therefore, in these conditions, i personally support you already in those i think that we need to solve the issue of sailors in this way. well, you still have the opportunity to join the signing of this electronic petition. i will send you the address, thank you. then, after the interview is over, i want to talk a little more about the diplomatic front. in addition to being a member of the ukrainian delegation in

the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, as you have already said, you are the vice-president of the committee on migration of refugees and displaced persons currently in the parliamentary assembly. on the agenda, what part is ukraine taking in this, what is ukraine's current support, this is a very important platform on the diplomatic front, and i want to remind you that it was actually not one of the first institutions that became a pariah, which expelled russia from the council of europe in march. together with the delegation in the last parliament, now in this parliament, we all fought together, by the way, unitedly, except for the representatives of one faction , of course, which fought against russia in pairs, and i devoted a lot of time of my life to this although the circumstances are of course extremely difficult and extremely sad , but still this issue was pressed and finally russia was thrown out of this club of normal countries because

it is not a normal country and in the council of europe and there is nothing to do, it is important now the next task for this site is to use it to solve practical questions for ukraine and what kind of questions are these questions about the rest of russian assets abroad because of the 46 member countries of the council of europe, now there are six without russia and these are the countries in which there is a lot of russian money, this is switzerland, this is great britain this is france, this is italy with solovyov's villa and other scoundrels there. that is, this is an extremely large amount of property of russian citizens and the state of russia, and we are already in a pair. this is one of those institutions that should do it, the second practical thing is a tribunal, a tribunal against russian war criminals, pay attention not to putin

. ukraine has committed civil war crimes on the territory of ukraine, for this there is also the general prosecutor's office, investigative bodies, it is of course very difficult for them because a lot of these unfortunately, such terrible crimes have taken place, but they are not the same aggression, but the fact that russia attacked ukraine is absolutely groundless and putin himself and his closest circle should be responsible for this. and this can only be done by an international tribunal that should be created. we also adopted the corresponding resolution a, in which we called on the member states it is very important for 46 european countries to join this process. i think that this was not the last resolution. we will continue to do it in the future because it is very important. well, and the third. in the committee, these are

refugees. and the question is that these people have support, that the rights of these people are respected, we also trade. through the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, relevant resolutions were adopted, and this is also our contribution to helping those millions of ukrainians who are now forced to mostly women and children who are forced to stay in europe, and we are very much waiting for them all at home after our victory. you feel that after the beginning of full-scale russian aggression, support in the council of europe increased enormously. i went abroad for the first time. it was the end of april, just in time for the session of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe because for the first time, a session of how russia was thrown out. i joined there online, well , there was unanimous support . the decision was made unanimously, and at that time i was still a member of the defense forces. but at the end of april, i was already there i left, i'll tell you, i was so impressed. people

saw that you had this. well, i'm a badge abroad, always ukrainian, and when people saw our flag colors, just on the street, passers-by approached ukrainian flags everywhere. the support from politicians was extraordinary. those who approached apologized for the pressure. we argued for years and proved that russia is not a country that respects dialogue, because they always told us one thing: we need to leave russia . it has grown a lot and our task, well, but it is very important for all of us to understand that it will not stand at a high level by itself, people get used to it, people get tired, russian propaganda is working, someone really saw through sincerely, and someone was actually just pretending. and he wants to continue working with russia, and here we are it is necessary to continue to work all the time at every session on every site, to prove, to argue, it is very important, ot diplo- well, here and

if we don’t do it, we will not have a result. by the way, i wanted to ask now, do you have any problems with by visiting a session of the parliamentary assembly because, well, recently there was information that the ministry of foreign affairs canceled the diplomatic passports of more than half of the people's deputies, motivated by the fact that they did not return them by the set deadline, and there is, among other things , and your last name does not interfere with you now to work, the issue has already been resolved, the issue has not been resolved, but this does not prevent me from working. since february 24, i have never used a diplomatic passport. i did not go abroad. how did you graduate, and according to the law of ukraine, people's deputies are not subject to mobilization and in our country they are obliged to graduate, i cannot speak for all my colleagues, because now there
