choose to feel it or not, but it's only your choice what to do with it, whether it will win or you will turn it into a righteous anger anger that will ignite the heart and give strength to move forward this fear we have something to lose and therefore and defend at such an incredible cost, but we did not gain freedom at great cost. every step we take today is a step into a happy future . each of us is here because we tamed the cities, learned to manage them, made them our ally, no matter how difficult it may be for us, but we will definitely not be ashamed hello everyone, er, now er, we have a guest. well, i’m not

afraid of this word for sure. well, for me, the most delicious guest who can only be on our tv screens, they will not be divorced for a long time, because er, i sincerely apologize, but there are people who well there is no need to introduce this particular person, this is yevgeny, as we agreed zhenya klopotenko zhenya i congratulate you and since we are meeting you in a special period, a special time for ukraine question thank you well, the word independence is the very concept of independence, it’s like that, agree, well, it’s not like it’s leveled, it’s true that it’s a word that’s early on, but if you think about it, for example, i’ll start with tactics, one question, i’ll divide it into two parts, what exactly is independence for you personally, for a person, independence and what is independence for a country for a specific e-e of our country well, i won't really, i

think that it was called incorrectly, well, i don't like the name of this because regardless, it means that you were dependent on someone now you are not on anyone not dependent. i wouldn't say that ukraine was dependent on the soviet union, but ukraine was part of the russian union. well, i don't think that it should be called independence. it should be called something like that. therefore, it means that we are not dependent on anyone, but this is not true, because all people which zone depends on what, that's why i don't like this word. i don't like its etymology and i generally don't use this word in my communication, but as i am, as it is already there and there is no need to change it, as it is, then well for me if we are talking about about my personal independence, this is this. i completely equate this with freedom for 100%. well , that is, for me, addiction, this is freedom, freedom

of full choice, full-fledged flight, this is like birds, this is like artists, this is how, who can be without borders in their fantasies then they are 100% independent. i am very happy for this answer, because when i was formulating it for myself, well, for the country, i could argue with you a little, but today you are for today, please yes, but we already maybe later, but that’s it i think that personal independence is freedom of choice. it's just , well, it's such a sweet, such a sweet concept, uh, well , a little bit closer, so to speak, to your essence , yes, to what you have the best knowledge of . well, look at ukrainian traditional cuisine, well , whenever they say french cuisine, everyone is there they understand italian cuisine there, but if, for example, well, i would formulate or make an expression something like ukrainian traditional cuisine, what is its peculiarity , how does it differ from other traditional beehives, etc., there are many well, we have already understood in

including thanks to you, for example, but, well, in general , you gave a lecture, for example, and you wanted people to understand what non-ukrainians are, what is original, what is so unique about ukrainian traditional cuisine, which could differ from other kokans in the world, i will say that for ukrainians, you taught what it is not for ukrainians to explain about their cuisine what tradition is, tradition is certain rules of behavior , fixed rules of behavior of a certain group of people in a certain territory, and the problem is that our culinary traditions are very much mixed up blurred spread out and what is happening now is precisely the formation of culinary traditions and if we are each of you is happening that is, they did not exist before well of course i will tell you even name 10 ukrainian traditional dishes shulyki ok and now ask here who knows what is flying further swamps are called 10 dishes and we come to the fact that our popular tradition, we know a lot, we

feel that we have a lot, but we can't press it, because we had a little bit of customs clearance, that is, there is a tradition, but no one knows about it. knows so ukrainian traditional cuisine is a mix of authenticity and a mix with a mix of modernity and that's right. here are the combinations. that we lived in just one period and quickly moved to another period and we live and it is to form us well, what is happening now ukrainian traditional cuisine is a cuisine formed by our ancestors then under the influence of the soviet union all some traditions have been changed. and now there is a revival again, and that's why we get a huge spectrum,

much more than you know, we can imagine in our heads varenyki , lard, borscht, this is not ukrainian semolina. the tradition because of which in 20-30 years i will be able to say whether the spundra has taken root because it has taken root by screeches, we don’t know because, well, it ca n’t come to survive that because you can’t eat it now, it needs to start being in circulation if people will be okay with it, it will become a tradition, if not, then no, will olivier disappear or will it remain, the same question is whether or not we can make the boykiv super kyselitsa, which we talked about before the broadcast, make it popular and replace okroshka, right now these questions that every person faces every day. if you once talked to a woman from lviv, she says well, why did you come to the ukrainian language? i say well, i went and wanted to be more ukrainian, but i felt it. and

you didn't even want to be ukrainian anymore and you say the same thing in ukrainian, and the ukrainian language is only a small part and there is a lot of everything. that's why everyone has their own debates and we are only in the process of forming this tradition, but here it is. well, such a variety of cuisine. well i understand that you understand better because ukraine has so many regions and goes, for example. in this edition, where will they be more interested, but in this transition, you say that yours with them in the ukrainian language is interested in old ukrainian dishes because it is actually very interesting that i read it a little and it is delicious and that it is important that it is actually useful, well, we are too aspect well, not only deliciousness yes, but it seems to me that it is precisely in the modern century that well, after all, it’s snotty

to breathe these gases, well, bad. thanks to the old dishes, uh, and in fact, there is a school meal, i am changing it there for this very reason. yes, i am integrating many ukrainian dishes so that the children can eat them later. i've heard and read that you are a destroyer and implement all this there. well, that's what i thought. it seems to me that this is the menu there, well, this menu is given, for example, to the team of cooks, because saying that they cook something in the school, well, i remember by myself, as it were my parents are there, they are fine they ate all the same, i ran out and bought some terrible junk food, but it was delicious, and that’s all. is there any point at all? well, it already started when it was taken. well, at the beginning of the year on january 1, did any current come out of it at all, or were there any? of course, i went out, well, i'm standing on the street, for example, i've been to my place for two days, i've been standing and

treating everyone to ukrainian pancakes, after all, there's a new product that i think will replace you, you'll be worried in ukraine. well, let's see there. well, i'm just treating people to all of you too i'll give you a treat and people came up and said they said thank you for the change thank you for the change the child started the child started to drive , but is it real or should it be reflected in specific ukraine, it is just changes that children are starting to eat well, i think that a lot of things need to be understood that children in general are unhealthy food - this is what children want, and if you make super cool food no matter what, and they will get sick, it is harmful, it is normal, but the problem here is that we are talking about the percentage of children who will never eat, we are now saying that children used to eat somewhere around 21% of children, there are 25 children by according to statistics, they ate in the cafeteria, and everyone else was on the street. and we want to increase this blossoming by statistics, so that there are somewhere around 70% of children, and we are in the process of uh, change, now there are already somewhere around 35,900 children who have started to eat well, yes well, imagine if we

were there before the war 15 thousands of schools multiply by the number of people to us there children children d- up to 2 million children study uh one and a half to a million you imagine how many percentages this is and we are working further there is still a lot of work to be done or the menu is ok but not everyone was able to learn how to cook it made it to teach because it's a war and we, uh, not everyone had money for purchases there, it was necessary to reorganize some countries, she gave a lot of money for support, but now there is money, yes. well, they voted there, they gave one and a half billion hryvnias for the rehabilitation of food blocks, but this money is now everyone went to war , so many things have changed, but we continue the reform, we literally met with the first lady's team the day before yesterday, i call them , i say let's not stop, we need to show our enemies that we will not stop, we do nothing during the war we will change the diet and we were a working group there were many challenges and what we have to do well we will do them well in fact it is very cool if we change there to deal with the issues of changing the diet at school during the war it says a

lot about what we have eh and aiming and about that some incredible for me, even to a certain extent irrational faith, well, almost every person in victory sorry for dad this and that well also belonging it is about children and you are interested in the company of children breeze i just see adults in them me very often i very often in e once you communicate with adults i am not interested in the road they can not adults already very often very many adults they are already quarreling with life well they are already doing something like that they were taught to defend themselves there they shout i spoke there three times a day yesterday for example i quarreled with no one, i have never had such a life and they play with no one, but here yesterday i just started speaking in a different way there and they all started insulting me. well, with children, children are like that. they are free , the independence of children is because i have such experience. uh they were there with my nephews as godparents when they were little to school, until they were six or seven

years old. they are terrible, especially the boys, they loved being in the kitchen and they were there, and my nephew would pull up a stool and stand so that he was higher, i was there, for example, she was making cheesecake there or somehow there, well, charlotte was baking something there , my god, how interesting he was, i remember how natalka shouted to me, one more component is missing, he heard this word somewhere, what is it, children, well, look, it is so embedded in childhood that they know how to, well, they want to cook, they have such a desire because testing is a kind of activity with plasticine, playing only with products, but it's something more, for example, even now i know by myself when i'm nervous, i start to cook something and you when you were little, did you like to cook there or were you interested in something related to it? is it as if i have a little something, you are different from me i remember how it was when my mom and dad made cookies and borscht there by the way or a girl but the boys loved a then they start to be ashamed of him when he stands up to society. so this is our society in which

they say that a man should work at work and a woman should be in the kitchen crying and a woman should be in pink. well, now there is a change, a change of these things and god forbid when we get there, we will have a woman as president, and we can't wait for the moment when i think it will be significant for ukraine that when a woman will be president, it will give ukraine a completely different outlook on life, but this is already such a different topic. i think that men, uh, well, i wouldn’t really distinguish between women and men. they just cook. why are chefs better than men because for them it’s not a routine for women for a woman ? you're like that, i don't want to. you have to cook, be a woman, and that's all you say. well, no, you're sabotaging this food, but as they say to a man, if you want, sometimes come and they cook, and men are like that . one dish was prepared in a week and it was so cool if every day they have outlived their family,

i want to say that my husband cooks a million times tastier than me, but a million times less often. well, yes, but when he cooks, he devotes himself only to this process, it's love, and when i cook, yes, and i start cooking, oh yes there's still something to be done there, it's the fiftieth. i mean, that's a few of you splurging on such things. for you, every day is work, but for him, it's i like to do it. well, it's nice to do. and there are women who hate it, but i do it. because well , they have to be forced to do that because we are already such a society we found ourselves in such a virtual kitchen. we already started cooking something there, and there, uh, only let's peel the beets, and i, for example , peel the potatoes. i hate peeling beets. well, i say such a bomb, i'll give you secrets, why learn them? and what will you say if you give a reason? why are you doing this? that is, any moment in which you are unhappy, you should make it so that there is no point in cleaning it, if there was any point

, if you are a banana, you can eat it, it will be tart , but if you bake it, you can eat it. get i so smoothly go to topics of borscht, well, first of all, because of those. praise and thanks, and i even give this. we are here only exclusively for the fact that, thanks to your requests and efforts, our borscht finally became ours for real, and it was contributed, as it is right to say, to the intangible heritage of the world. this means that this the dish became part of it, let's talk about it a little because well, you already talk a lot about this topic, of course, i read it, but anyway, well, anyway, here's what i'm in borscht, i'll take it upon myself for a second, if it's as if you're interviewing me when i feel bad when i'm afraid of something when i have some kind of fear, when i feel good. i start cooking borscht, it's not because i'm showing off, that's how

such a stereotype of a ukrainian woman is accepted, that's all, well, it's a clear antidepressant for me, and that's why there 's probably something in it, the first question we have is about the traditional the dish. how did you come to the point where you started to defend borscht? well, i see the development of ukrainian gastronomy a little differently. i saw it in my restaurant. the beginning of borscht was only for foreigners. you just eat you don't eat borscht and anything else, i wanted to find out, and then i went on an expedition, i saw how different borscht is, and when i went, i saw how i prepare it in the fields. deeper i just changed my point of view that borscht is the opposite cool that is, i myself thought inside myself that borscht does not allow us to develop our other affairs like this something rustic so rustic simple and grumbling we never eat
