enemy congratulates us on our holiday this was expected so please be very vigilant and follow all the rules if an alarm go to shelter as we do it well as news from our even pre-war life and they concern the scandalous people's deputy trukhin, do you remember which one last year, exactly one year ago, on the eve of independence day, oleksandr trukhin was caught on the boryspil highway, where he was not yet involved in a road accident, six were injured. fortunately, no one died in the audi he was driving. with alcohol, he offered the police officers, it seems, 50,000 dollars. well, obviously, dollars for them to let him go and calmly go to the forest, so it's already over for you, like buns in my trunk. he said so the trial ended and the fair ukrainian court imposed a fine of 850 ukrainian hryvnias, and not even the remains, but the

man who rode with him in the car and took the blame for the accident with the victims. this is reported by the unified state register of court decisions in accordance with the resolution the court of kyiv is honest and incorruptible, especially not corruptible in its ruling regarding viktor skleba, who in the 21st year got into a road accident together in the same car with people's deputy oleksandr trokhin, then skleba stated that it was he who was behind the wheel on august 9, judge olena luzhetska, on august 9, it just became known that she found him guilty of the accident and imposed a fine of 850 ukrainian hryvnias as an administrative penalty, the case is closed, let's not complete and not even begin, practically the reform was, friends, in that's why our courts, which issue similar decisions, this is the life of augie's stables, which we will have to clean with you after the victory, because unfortunately, when there is no

rule of law, we have such and such crooked justice because then there was a video and it was heard when he said come on, i'll quietly go to the forest, and you go in the trunk take the money and after that, even when there is video evidence of 819 traffic accidents with the participation of the victims with the consequences, the victims suffered there was a lot of blood and many many were injured, and he did not give up a little he refused to take a breathalyzer test, which is also, in principle, an aggravating moment in this situation. let's ask you about the promotion that is or will be there by the end of the day ms. natalya we congratulate you and greetings greetings to everyone from great britain i am now in oxford and ah i can say that today is independence day

uh the oxford community is celebrating very hmm very very nice, in general, the whole of oxfordshire , there are already many ukrainians here and many actions are held in support of ukraine, and the task of all of us, all ukrainians who are now in britain, is to remind everyone that there is a war in ukraine in every possible way, to collect funds for aid to ukraine and on independence day are held locally throughout britain, such and such celebrations, as a rule, this celebration includes some kind of cultural program, ukrainian songs, ukrainian dances, this is necessarily a fundraiser for the support of ukraine, ukrainians and britons are necessarily together on this day and it is

very, very important that this communication is constantly supported and the british understand that this year's independence day is very important for us and we pay a lot of attention to it there are currently more than 140,000 ukrainians in britain. you know , our community is quite powerful and we hope that from our side we will also do everything to ensure that continuous support from not only from the side of britain as a country from the side of the british government, but it is also interesting how the british themselves feel about the fact that today johnson is fighting here in kyiv, and he has promised support in the future , and this is a lot of microplay, and britain is meeting our compatriots. british

behave as much as they understand and divide our mountains and understand the closeness to themselves, and i can say that the british, during my stay here in britain, i have never even met such an attitude, not somehow, if, when , anyway, the british in some way , what is happening in ukraine, and they really support us at all levels, and this is the holiday of independence, they understand how important it is to us. that is why they are outraged by the war situation that is happening in our country now and constantly declare that at all levels, no matter where we communicate with them, that britain will be with ukraine as long as

the war lasts until our complete victory, that they will not leave us alone with this trouble under any circumstances. we really hope that it will be so, but here is their what they claim is exactly what it is. this is very serious support for us, and we hope that it will continue to be like this. indeed, natalya, you mentioned that 140,000, as i understand it, are newly arrived refugees from ukraine, that is, the diaspora that actually arrived after the british isles the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion, are there people who are returning from britain now or vice versa, is the number only increasing because i know a person there who very recently, literally a month ago, was in poland and left poland for britain in search of a better fate and whose information i am asking for ah, i can say that yes, some families return to ukraine

, people have different life circumstances, ah, some are forced to return , some could not, um, could not live here and there, i don’t know, misses ukraine very much there and i think that it is better to be at home, but ukrainians are really always here. at the moment, it has already closed the program for accepting our refugees , uh, they said that they have closed it for three months, but it is possible that they will not open again. england, uh, in england, the reception continues. well, the scheme is that you have to find a family that will accept you here and in which you can live , but under this scheme you can still come to britain, and that is actually what the ukrainian families who are now doing , thank you, thank you, nataliya clowns

journalist oxfordshire fresh from ukraine johnson is in kyiv today the prime minister of great britain arrived in kyiv today to personally congratulate the president of ukraine on the independence day of ukraine, we see that the air of alarm continues in many regions of ukraine yes poltava oblast and dnipropetrovsk oblast donetsk region odesa mykolaiv, kherson and zaporizhzhia, all other regions are under the air for a long time . but we know that he came. this is a fact and a big thank you to him and to all of britain for the fact that 140,000 ukrainians are now there and britain sheltered them. the meeting within the framework of the crimean

platform, but it was held online in connection with the war on august 23, the second summit of the same crimean platform and the meeting of partners took place under the conditions of maundy thursday in russia, because of the shelling of cities and explosions in crimea, just online well, andrzej will only seem to have come personally to the crimean platform to us. well, zelensky said that crimea in exchange for a shaky scenario, ukraine will not allow such a thing to happen, everything began with crimea and everything ends with crimea will end , hinting at only the complete deoccupation of ukraine, the key is not with crimea well, during his speech at the second summit of the crimean platform, the nato secretary general warned about the protracted nature of the war and the difficult winter, but assured ukraine of further support, which will last as long as possible

need the president of turkey regime and its portuguese voiced that the end of russia's occupation of crimea is a de facto requirement of international law and an important element of global security and stability assessment of the representation of the crimean platform at our second meeting what was new from the participants and what consequences can we expect about all this we will ask our next guest oleksandr his name is kraev, he is happy with foreign policy, ukrainian prism, we congratulate you , mr. oleksandr, yes, i congratulate you on your holiday, the first results and the first assessments of the crimean platform 2 for your personal opinion, please, in fact, we saw tougher statements even from those leaders who were, to put it mildly, quite calm in their rhetoric, even for those leaders who were quite restrained before, that is, the first such good achievement from my point of view - this

strengthening is the hardening of rhetoric, the second achievement is still an achievement if we look at the tasks that were set after the first platform, this is the expansion of the number of participants from the previous 46 , we reached 60, and 40 of them were presented at the level of heads of state heads of parliaments and this in principle well, it can be considered a good achievement . that is, the platform itself well, in many ways, considering the full-scale invasions of the russian federation, it is becoming more relevant in the center of interest of many parties, and thirdly, if we look at the final committee, well, more precisely at the joint statement of the participants, we will see that the topic of the crimean platform has become much broader, to put it mildly, that is, if before it was simply a question of what according to of international law, crimea must return to ukraine one way or another. now we see, well, these are the practical points. that is, the issue of

grain export, the issue of safety from classmates, the issue of the militarization of the crimean peninsula, the issue of the threat to shipping in the black and azov seas, the issue of the militarization of civilians of ports , that is, in fact, the ukrainian platform, as they say, is overgrown with meat, it is overgrown with specific topics not only at the level of experts, because well, i can say as a person who helped in the organization of the expert network at the level of an expert network, this topic has been going on for a long time. and now we see that a much broader topic has become at the highest level, at the level of heads of state and parliaments, and this cannot help but please us . over crimea, he says that crimea always is and will be and was a ukrainian territory , but on the other hand, he meets putin in tehran, hugs him there, conducts a joint joint

business on the construction of nuclear power plants, on the other hand sells bayraktari to ukraine well, what surprised you personally and according to the statements on this platform are so much more clear, everything is in the statements, well, first of all , erdogan erdogan continues to be erdoğan, that is, he continues to play his double game when, on the one hand, he is irreplaceable for putin, after all , he is the last nato leader who is ready to communicate with him directly, who travels to him himself for meetings, who is a bridge for him to communicate with the west, on the other hand, he becomes indispensable for the west because, well, according to that system reasons, he is the only leader of a relatively speaking nato country who can still directly influence putin, and therefore, on the one hand, he continues negotiations with the president of the aggressor country, he continues meetings with him, on the other hand, he continues to state that

crimea is therefore, ukraine is in the position of turkey. it has simply consolidated, it has become what we expected . there are no drastic changes. well, olaf scholz said, obviously, the presence of other hawks of international politics forces him to remember adequate things and that is why his statement. you are in canada. well, rather from the section of adequate, gentle, it can’t help but be happy. well, plus, if you look at the statements again, i will turn to the joint committee. we saw that even countries that are not directly interested in solving the crimea issue. well, let’s say the same president of guatemala who was also present at the summit of the presidents of other non-target regions for us. they all agreed with all the points that were put on ukraine's agenda, that is, in fact, many non -european countries accepted our agenda . the european agenda and in the context of crimea, in

the context of the condemned actions of the russian federation. this is a very positive signal because we still have fears that the countries of latin america, the countries of africa, the countries of the far east, at least partially, but some of them may support russia . well, the crimean platform and the expansion of its participants , in principle, indicates that the work of our diplomacy and the work of our analysts was not in vain, and still most of the adequate politicians of the world are moving to our side in this final komike, uh, there are some prescribed practical steps. is it just a declaration of intentions, what will happen next , well, a communique is, in principle, a joint statement, a joint communique, it is always a document, an intentional document that indicates which vectors of further movement the participants of the meeting agreed with, that is, in reality, it is not like that it is not a clear plan, it is what we call a roadmap

, it is not a step-by-step instruction, it is simply an agreement of the views of all parties, and that is why i said that information is a very big progress that in in principle, at least, we checked the clocks with many states in which we had doubts, we saw that their position was either unchanged or it systematically became pro-ukrainian, that is, at a minimum , we singled out and made a wider club of those states that are ready to support ukraine with regard to specific steps on each point to what extent well, as the structure of the crimean platform provides for each point , the ministry , that is, the ministry of foreign affairs of each of the member states, will start working as a measure in the future, which will work out the relevant strategies, relevant doctrines, relevant topics , to work accordingly, the expert level in each of these areas, the expert level will support the ministerial level, accordingly, so that by the next session
