maybe we should improve the very basis of this format. that is, we need a toolkit because i saw how, for example, in america, distance education is organized, it is completely different. these are platforms , universities have schools, and well, there are other things to strive for, yes, and kindergartens, you know. we in principle, we have been talking about it quietly for half a year, but for more than a month and a half, kindergartens have been working in the cities, and the situation is also the same. if a child arrives somewhere, the next day is much less. children per district in kindergartens, for example there. if we have 10 districts, yes. in this district, seven kindergartens are open. 235 children already come to kindergartens and shelters have been set up there. everything is really happening. there are all security measures and measures, and parents trust and bring the child to kindergarten. a million.

shevchenkiv district of the city three times with artillery. as a result of the shelling, a fire broke out in kharkiv on flag day and independence day, there is an extended curfew from seven in the evening on tuesday until seven in the morning on thursday, the sounds of shelling could be heard throughout the city of volodymyrsky, the city of kharkiv greets us with our flag - not the city of liberation, our russian friends want to celebrate our holidays well, nothing. victory is in our hands to stop hostilities around the zaporozhye nuclear plant , the united nations was called upon, this was emphasized during the meeting of the un security council by the deputy general secretary rosemary karlu, in turn, the representative of the usa said that russia should withdraw its troops both from the territory of the soviet union and from ukraine in general. i will remind you that the official kyiv accuses russia of

provocations at the station. a high threat of nuclear disaster at the enterprise, the kremlin, in turn, rejects the accusations and declares that ukraine is allegedly conducting the shelling, at the same time, at a meeting of the un security council, the representative of russia agreed that to allow representatives of megate and the closest national party to the station to give the mission safe and unhindered access to the facility any potential damage to the station or any other nuclear facilities in ukraine which would lead to a possible nuclear incident that would have catastrophic consequences not only for this place and for the region and beyond, it has been 31 years since the birth of our state, on this very day, august 24, the verkhovna rada of soviet-era ukraine adopted the act of declaration of independence, so the republic left part of the soviet union, and a

sovereign and independent democratic ukraine appeared on the political map of the world. old maps and diplomatic documents testify to the origins of ukraine's statehood. and there are hundreds of other evidences that are now kept in archives and museums. the most valuable treasures of the nation were obtained by historians to exclusively show our inni gurinenko from the time of kyiv during the cossack rus' and until the new millennium, the multi-million ukrainian people fought victoriously and painfully lost their statehood, their lands were dominated by foreigners for centuries . they twisted it to undermine our legitimacy, what they say, ukrainians did not fight for their state, ukraine, the ukrainian state arose in the same place as a result of the accident of the collapse of the soviet union, a copy of the treaty of zboriv during the khmelnytskyi period is shown to the state archive as evidence, so at the international level, the polish king recognized the rights and borders of the

ukrainian state at that time, this is a copy of the document, the original of which is kept in the polish archives, which is the beginning of the ukrainian state, the zaporozhian army covered the territory of three voivodeships kyiv, bratslav and chernihiv states the achievements that were obtained on the battlefield, in fact the zaporizhzhya army or the hetmanship existed in my liquidation of the hetmanship until 1764, in battles with blood and diplomacy, the people under the leadership of bohdan khmelnytskyi were able to distance themselves from the polish-lithuanian commonwealth on the recognition of statehood in the political arena . hetman's communication with one of the most powerful courts in europe, the kingdom of sweden, this is a reproduction of bohdan khmelnytskyi's letter to the swedish queen, the hetman's christians are behind everything by the zaporizhzhya army, and a letter about military-political cooperation, the so-called cossack fund in the swedish archive, various documents of our history, on the one

hand, these are the internal documents of the cossack state itself, on the other hand, these are the hetman's letters to the king. these are copies from the royal chancellery that the swede made specifically to present ukrainian museum, and the complete collection of documents was digitized and handed over to the scientists of the central state historical archiving from one of the most widely used fictions in the russian state propaganda is about denying the existence of ukraine historically - it's a lie to me nays de tu russianation about ukraine is because feed and sweden has a lot of historical ties with ukraine from the early middle ages of kievan rus to the world the fast king charles the 12th was in close cooperation with ukraine and the ukrainian leader mazepa. therefore, we

have many documents from this period, among others, the most famous constitution of pylyp orlyk , a copy of the constitution written in latin, pylyp orlyk handed over to the swedish king to legitimize it and to recognize the status of ukraine among the family of european states, various aspects of the life of the zaporizhzhya cossack state army, the division of power into three branches, e.e. executive, legislative and judicial, for its time, was an extremely progressive document that ukraine was known long before any revolutionary movements in russia ancient maps testify to the empire, one of the oldest maps stored in our archive is a map compiled by the french engineer guillaume levesseur de beauplan, who was in ukraine and prepared a description of the ukrainian lands, and to this description guillaume we veseli plan prepared such a map map of yogan baptista humana e-e geographer of the holy roman

empire first this map was drawn up in 1712 later it was reprinted several times and here ukraine is presented as the cossack land on the later map of german cartographers there is also ukraine in the middle of the map itself the name of ukraine and in fact, all these things, archival documents and maps, they testify to a long, long state-building tradition on ukrainian lands; on european maps, the cossack state was marked until it was liquidated the russian empire, the statehood of ukraine was revived in a century and a half, when the central rada proclaimed the fourth universal, this is the address of the ukrainian central rada itself to the people of ukraine, the ukrainian people's republic becomes an independent independent free sovereign state of the ukrainian people, these documents are for us rather a confirmation of a historical tradition the desire of the ukrainian people

for independence, and against the background of the upheavals of the 20th century , ukraine lost its independence. the regime, despite the terror, the second world war, ukrainians in the early 90s at the turn of the century defended the right to the exit of the ukrainian republic from the ussr, the resolution of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on the declaration of independent independence of ukraine and the act itself of course, this is also a modern modern document, it looks like this, this original is priceless is priceless to us because he proclaimed independence, so independent ukraine appeared again on the political map of the world, the territory of ukraine is indivisible and inviolable, continuing the thousand-year tradition of state-building in ukraine each of the documents that affirmed statehood is a treasure of the nation and proof of the people's right to

life and their truth in their native house inna horinenko pavlo bondarenko tv channel rada general national marathon single news this is how the people's right to life and their truth in their native house is something that is not characteristic of russians and why did they come to our land to kill, but thanks to the courage of the armed forces of ukraine, we will definitely win, liberate the occupied territory and win peace, and on the independence day of ukraine, independence in 30 years, probably for the first time together we understood the price of freedom, the price strength, the price of our will, the enemy will never reach our soul, our heart, our ability to live freely, the unbreakable right to be free, the unbreakable

strength to preserve our history, the unbreakable will for a happy future, the future we fight for, we fight for our land, we fight for our children, we fight like our hearts, the day that they wanted to erase from our calendars, the day that ceased to be just a holiday, the day that was not met during the day and which could not have happened if it were not for our defenders. thank you to the ukrainian soldiers for the independence day of ukraine in the studio for you working vadym kolodiychuk olga nemtseva and next we will talk about independence day in the context of

european integration and in general the independence of ukraine as a european state and the relationship between ukraine and the european union began in the first weeks of the existence of the ukrainian state and since then has been constantly deepening as in december 1991 the eu officially recognized the independence of ukraine during the next decade, the verkhovna rada adopted a number of documents in which european integration was declared a long-term strategic goal kyiv's discussions on the possible format of unification ended with the paris site in 2008. on it, ukraine and the eu agreed to conclude an association agreement that provided for the transition from partnership to political and economic integration in 2013. president yanukovych's attempt to disrupt the approval of association with the eu caused mass protests and a revolution dignity of yanukovych was removed from power and on the 14th, the political and economic part of the association agreement were successively signed, in 2017 the

visa-free regime for ukrainians began to operate with by the eu countries and in 2019 the constitution of ukraine included a provision on a strategic course for full membership in the european union this year. on june 23, the european council at the summit in brussels decided to grant ukraine and moldova the status of candidates for the european union, and to grant georgia the status only after fulfilling a number of conditions, the status of a candidate in the eu opens opportunities for ukraine, in particular, access to the structural funds of the european union, the funds from which will be directed to the reconstruction of the destruction caused by the rejection of russia and the construction of a sustainable ukrainian economy, and we are happy to welcome to our studio yevgenia kravchuk , deputy chairman of the committee on humanitarian and information policy of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, and also oleksiy boryachenko, candidate of political sciences, we congratulate you, we congratulate you on a special day of independence, because ukraine is fighting b the heart of our country is beating, we will not fight for

independence, ms. kravchuk, do you think that we are now showing this symbolism of the struggle for independence and, in general, this symbol of independence ukraine, what does it mean for us, as it is perceived in the west? well, of course, we know that we have already entered history and i think that more than one film will be made about ukrainians as they defend independence, and actually, when i explain to europeans, americans, what now the situation of the 22nd year is different from that of the 22nd year. well, let's be honest, we were at war with russia in one form or another, and the cossacks and uh, in such a tragic story. so when the russians actually occupied the territories what is different because we have our own country now a state that has its own army, that has a political

leadership, a political leadership that is independent, that has relations with other countries, and that is what makes us so different now that we are not just holding on, but we are showing that we will not give up this independence , and indeed someone said that in the 91st year, legal independence was obtained after the collapse of the soviet union, well, it was achieved without blood , and now, unfortunately, in some period of our history, we hmm pay for this independence, but, well, this is once again proven by ukrainians every day prove that we don't want any other option than to have our own country. we don't want it, and we already have a generation that doesn't remember the countries of the soviet union, when ukraine as such, legally, we didn't have a generation. this generation is now at the front and they actually protect us in these trenches. p oleksii and we are fighting for our independence, which

means that we are also fighting for values, because this war is for values ​​and for us to have democrats and freedom, as the countries of the civilized world have it, this is a fight for institutions, the rule of law, including what we mentioned hmm these are the most dramatic, most important events in the history of ukraine, and we talked about 2013 as a special year until then, we had this course on the eu, of course , the latest events are not only about values, but about values, including this about the right to choose on ot p yevgenia absolutely correctly just pointed out that in 1991, many people say that we really got

independence quite easily. our european integration path is absolutely logical for many reasons to many factors, first of all, we are not europeans, historically, mentally, geographically, of course, and such a path is the opposite of the one that ukraine occupied in the soviet union , being subordinate to moscow, including the european union, this is the path to an open economy, this is the way to the rich european markets - this is the way to build and develop our non-production chains in our industry in order not to increase the wealth of our citizens, i.e. therefore, now even according to a sociological study, ukrainians

don’t even have any major alternatives. for themselves, 90% of people are in favor of the inter-european integration path and absolutely support it, that is, from year to year, this percentage only increases, increases, increases, and even after a full-scale attack on the russian federation of the aggressor state is the percentage of the scale in the notebook exceeds 90%, which in principle is absolutely logical ukraine deserves the right to choose ukraine deserves to go its own way ukraine deserves to be an independent, sovereign , and an independent nation of free people. well, in fact, how will it end in some format , and the european integration aspiration of the people will be realized later, but

any variant of the development of events on ah, it is still western-oriented and it is oriented to those values ​​for which you mentioned at the beginning of our conversation, you are talking about the stages of this process , so let's determine where we are in this coordinate system in the european integration direction, the procedure for joining the european union involves five stages, four of them are already behind ukraine signed the association agreement with the eu in 2014, submitted an application for membership in february 22, the intermediate point on inclusion in the official program of enlargement of the european union was included automatically thanks to a simplified review procedure, the fourth stage - this is obtaining the status of a candidate for eu membership, which, after the relevant decisions of the european commission and the european parliament , was finally approved by the eu member states, and the last stage - this is the accession to the european union, he can to last for years in the history of the expansion of the european union,

the fastest way from application to membership was completed by finland in just three years, and cyprus needed 14 years for this ap evgenia how much will ukraine need how much do we calculate how much do we want how quickly will we overcome this path well, no one will tell you for sure of course because it depends not only on us. we will do our part, but we must understand that joining the european union this must be the full political agreement of all the member states of the european union do you remember what was the intrigue in june, before the summit in brussels, and here we have to give credit, the european commission was on our side, and it was written quite clearly in the conclusion, and when the european council actually received the leaders of the countries, they were already based on this legal conclusion on

any issue, in any case, this is about years, but this does not mean that nothing will happen, and then after four or five years, someone will somehow turn on the switch and we will have a perspective in one case when we sit down at the table negotiations in order to start talking about full membership because we had a deadline until the new year, well, at least that's how the president of ukraine articulated it, he talked about the fact that ukraine wants to complete its homework by the end of this year, and from the end of this year we want to start political negotiations about actual membership, i.e. what else needs to be done for ukraine specifically for ukraine to join, we have a list of european integration laws. now there are about 50 laws already registered and in the verkhovna rada, there is such a nuance that we remember in june, when we joined, we

received certain criteria steps from the european commission, there are seven points, we can dwell on them in a little more detail, but there we are talking about such things in rather broad strokes , for example, about in the anti-corruption reform, we have already appointed a sap prosecutor, and then the competition for nabu will be launched. well, there is a topic that i am directly dealing with right now. this is the media law, which corresponds to the media legislation. of the european union and well, a number of other steps will follow them because i apologize because this is important because there ca n't be any kind of uh well what do we want to vote here we don't want to we have to vote on it because the assessment will begin in october do we fulfill these criteria or not and by december, there should be

a clear fulfillment of these criteria, i will ask you in more detail because olga stefanishyna is the vice-prime minister for euro-atlantic integration . she said that approximately 70%. we will already we have been working with this for many, many years and this is not the same that we start with a blank sheet today. and there they give us a list of homework, in fact, we have already done a lot, but there are certain things that also lie in certain requirements for a specific country , uh, that's why we constantly have an anti-corruption policy in such in the imf's relations with the european union, everywhere and in principle, this is very important in the reconstruction of ukraine. in order to really receive billions of funds, it is already clear for the reconstruction of the country, and every ukrainian must be sure that they will go -is will be used in the best way, but it is also clear that

there are western taxpayers who will finance it, but in fact, judicial reform there is not only needed by the western investor, the ukrainian investor does not need to be sure that they will be able to in court defend one's right to property. so all these values ​​and specific criteria are actually a better quality of life within the country itself. they mentioned the law on media. the updated document will become its adaptation to the requirements of the european union; the law will ban all tv channels and media resources originating from russia; an update in the field of regulation is also provided for not only television and radio broadcasting, but also modern streaming services; in addition, it is planned to grant broader powers to the council on television and radio broadcasting media is included in the package of european integration initiatives that the verkhovna rada of ukraine plans to consider by the end of this

year director of the institute of foreign policy studies, professor kalinu, joins our broadcast. we welcome you. good afternoon. see you soon, mr. grigory. let's check the sound again. good afternoon. i hear you. good. if, in general terms, for your initial position, how ukraine approaches european standards and integrates into the european community in such difficult conditions, then on a ten-point scale , what rating did you give? i think that we have the media legislation is quite liberal, despite the fact that we are under martial law, which restricts the activities of mass media. nevertheless, i think that

our law is very liberal, and in this sense, we see that the opposition even has its own and on tv channels that can express their opinion and in other areas of the media space as well. ours is quite liberalized. but this is one of the threats today, because russia is waging a powerful information war. against us, and certainly with such openness of the media , it is very difficult to counteract in the information sphere, that is why we have such a situation when we are striving for european integration more and openness of freedom of the press and freedom of speech, freedom of the media, while this is used by our adversary. e thus causing us great harm in the media space,

creating disinformation pretexts and so on, it is quite difficult for the country to fight such an enemy several years ago. as you know, the law on media was introduced in the verkhovna rada misinformation, but unfortunately that draft law was never adopted, it is possible now in the new law , and these defects of such a situation in the information space will be corrected . already told our balls that you are taking care of this draft law, but oleksiy berychenko, you had a comment about what was actually said, not about what was said, because, uh, honey's mathematics, i first of all need to listen to mr. yevgenia, i still wanted to talk about european integration to say the important aspects of eh have already stated their position and the same head of the verkhovna rada stefanchuk and of course the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi that we must fulfill eh by

winter all seven requirements that were given to us to open the way for the discussion already about what did the women of full membership say, but there is a very important aspect that i would like to convey to our audience , e.e., obtaining the status of a full member of the eu - it is not an end in itself, and no, for the state, it is not an end in itself. no, for each of us, it is not a medal which you have to earn and then hang in yourself step by step to go towards it, but realizing your priorities and your interests. if we have now received the status of a candidate and an official member of the eu and we will already receive access to the funds of the european union, we have access to all the working bodies of the european union yes, it is possible to have an advisory voice of an inferior voice as a full-fledged member of the european union, but we can already

realize not our internal interests, internal priorities are naturally synchronized with the european union for the benefit of our citizens. moreover, we have a lot of issues with forcibly displaced persons, including those on the territory of the persian union, and their interests. it is also very important to return them . to finish the discussion from one topic to another situation, well, actually, in the coming weeks, we already expect to vote in the first reading and we will finally, you know, move this heavy stone. because in fact, three convocations of the verkhovna rada have not could adopt this law why because there is a lot of private interest in the media, remember what was the opposition to the law on oligarchs and when the european commission gave this point as mandatory for european integration, it was indicated that this should be done taking into account
