even wrote texts, and his colleagues and friends did charitable actions to help the wounded , to help ukrainian fighters and today is frank's birthday, despite the fact that times are very difficult. we, all the colleagues of the ivan franko museum in naguyevychi, decided to do something good to raise funds for the purchase of a franco-copter for the armed forces of ukraine. printed in the pochaiv and univ lavra, this is a unique rare collection of the encyclopedia of the franko era, along with life editions of ivan franko and his friends, and a rare edition of napoleon's codex of 804 will be preserved by nata mi z mykola knyazhytskyi helped to purchase unique

fought for, his lines and what he was talking about are now on the lips of probably everyone a soldier who fights for our ukraine, and a whole busload of visitors to the festival arrived from the drohobytsk oil and gas professional college, which has now become a shelter for displaced persons. we came from kharkov in march, together with our daughter evacuated, stayed in drohobych at the college. well, in the circle of the oil college. well, we live there all the time . today, they organized such a trip for us here. it's very, very interesting, and i like how with what love people uh and how they honor frank 's memory. well, it really impressed me and i am here in naguyevychy for the second time and with pleasure and will come again.

145 internally displaced persons live in our colleges. and today we consulted together as a team and organized such a joint trip. these are mostly young people who want to relax and at the same time, we will show them a little something dash on our order, which we are proud of, but this year, in the conditions of a full-scale war, ukrainians from different parts of our country have a chance to discover ivan franko for themselves in a new way, the works of ivan franko, you begin to compare them to the present day from the words that i am a son of the people going up, but in fact it seems that right now the ukrainian people are going up and there are not many left to reach the top, but we have to reach it, and the top is our joint victory over the enemy, and ending with those calls to rally and unite the festive day in naguyevychy ended with a large-scale concert of patriotic songs, the organizers believe

the house and we from ukraine can insure the car even if you are in the toilet hotline finance insurance of course online so that ukrainians do not think about so that they do not speak on the first place still goes to war war and our victory seven days a week from monday to sunday seven different spheres of human activity sports culture politics eight presenters espresso journalists experts opinion leaders in the regime real time about the most relevant events through the prism of war every day author's projects the most express military forces are not always enough to protect the country, but if it is defended by the people, then the country is invincible august 29 memorial day of defenders

of ukraine who died in the struggle for independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine this is us again and we will continue our conversations with a number of interesting interlocutors, and the first of them will be roman vashchuk as canada in ukraine and the business ombudsman of ukraine, we will talk with him about the ukrainian business and we will also talk about the impressions of mr. roman in the last few days. as far as i understand, mr. roman, you spent a business trip in ukraine in kyiv. so, how do you like me? kyiv, i am now a time of war, you know . i think i will not be original when i say that uh, there are

moments almost full of normality that alternates then and with such impressive changes uh, well, among them, the biggest one i heard this week was this zombie parade of uh, russian uh equipment, but of course, if you visit places like the cabinet of ministers uh, you can see that people in the physical one has much less eh all security measures eh which now look completely true to them eh bearing in mind the circumstances and so on but eh again eh the ability also eh from the smallest to the largest ukrainian to adapt and to continue to work in these circumstances is also impressive. by the way, there is currently a lot of talk about the fact that yuliya svirydenko is the vice-prime minister and the minister of economy. hm

, by the way, it is an interesting point that ukraine still has a ministry of economy, but it still does not exist. -e ministry of trade i hope that we somehow to we will get to that, but the question is that she asked me what seems like a good discussion about the fact that ukraine now has a chance to completely change the very philosophy of the economy of the economic system and literally tomorrow. by the way, it will be very interesting to have a discussion where there will be very powerful people to take part there, too. i know what will happen to miklos and to you, too, leschyk baltserovych, and the actual question that they will discuss is whether ukraine can make such a leap of civilizations after the war in order to have very high percentages growth rates in the economy and become a kind of scumbag, such a new, new tiger, relatively speaking , of eastern europe, but in your opinion, as a person who

represents the interests of ukrainian business, in particular, what needs to be changed for this? that maybe you are familiar with them, er, not completely. but i think that ms. surydenko's direction is not generally very correct . that it is very important that it is the economic bloc of the government that is starting to articulate all of this, so to say, can ukraine make such a leap? i think so, i think. it's just how ukrainian society reacted from the first day. now it's already the sixth and seventh month of this full-scale war shows that it is capable of transformation and even those elements that look er mean problematic

for some almost tragic, such as er mass departure of er ukrainians in particular ukrainian women and children er to europe er it is also of its own kind genus the school of life in security, in particular, the school of life in the european union, which is not at the level of some elite, they chose 12 people, sent them on a familiarization trip, and they take place millions of times, and as they told me, each other in families with whom i spoke this week. it seems that oleksandr zinchenko was the first victim of this war . it was not true. and in a complex way, the cost of ukrainians and i stood through it for two hours to get on the train to kyiv from przemyśl. around me , people were just talking about their impressions, but mostly everyone spent several months in the countries of the european union and they already have a very sober practical view

with the idea that what ukraine and ukrainians are able to do is no worse than a coach that the residents of these countries are capable of further in western ukraine, and i think that such a population psychologically gives e- the prerequisite for such blood remains the fact that before the war, ukraine was one of the poorest countries in europe with a very poor quality of governance, how can this be changed? you know, i disagree a little with this characterization. ukraine was statistically one of of the poorest countries in europe, but as we can see from the fact that people could take out from mattresses, from pockets, from drawers and put on the table when it was necessary to defend their village, er, their city, er, the resource is

greater than the state statistics service once presented it, so this is one thing -e second e-e ukrainian government , you know, i myself took part in x-conferences, workshops and so on during the time of my message about how scary it is, but you know how strange it is to get the position of a businessman-budsman. i see that after all, the main the systems work anyway and they surprise everyone continue to work even in the extreme conditions of the war. so, i think that beating yourself on the head all the time will not give you a breakthrough. on the contrary, it dulls your vision a little. and you see that there is something that we ukrainians have managed to do. now and then it is definitely necessary to improve eh with attention to the future, i think that here the question is, for example, where are the

regulations - it is solid to bypass that it is prescribed because it is literally impossible to fulfill it in nature, uh, this is necessary. for example, you say that sometimes ukrainians function uh, not thanks to, but in spite of it, this is also our trait acquired over decades. well, the inferiority complex is not only compared to some other countries, but i i think that the inferiority complex actually exists in its own country, and it would also have to work with it somehow, mr. roman, we know what the human rights ombudsman does, we know what the language butsman does in business butsman uh, what are your functions and who

can contact you for what reasons and how did the appeals during the war change from those that were in before the full-scale invasion began, yes well, now we are again in such a transition period back to more normal activities as many other elements of the ukrainian system are normal. what were we doing until the 23rd if you are a fop, a large ukrainian enterprise, which foreign enterprise had problems with a state body, e . self-government could contact us, we would then review the administrative issues, i think it has not yet reached the court because we are in the judicial system in the judicial system we do not have time and offered solutions, contacted the state body and were only such a bureau of grievances, but a bureau of alternative

proposals on how to resolve disputes between business and the state. in the first months of the war, we moved more into such a regime of free legal assistance to businesses not only in matters of complaints from issues of uh, uh, uh, military regulation of business, on issues of possible relocation, and so on, now we're going to, because already here and the state register are opening, we're restarting our electronic system and we hope to return to uh, formal again in the coming weeks processing of complaints and, unfortunately, we see that there will be grounds for such work because the state body i mentioned .

they are starting to screw up business again. i will ask a little more about the question . when we look from here now at the biden administration, sometimes it seems that biden is still going to exhaust russia here to infinity and sometimes we really want to somehow get through to him and say, sir biden, we need another 50 hypers, 200 abrams, and maybe 300 in latin - this is not very much, we know that you have them in warehouses and just fall

like powder, give them here and, in principle, the war will end in a couple of months, why can’t it be that simple to decide, well, i, well, and this is because of the culture of strategic stability, which has been nurtured for decades, in fact, since the invention of the bomb, and that is why you have a whole cohort of americans who, uh, are worried about not leading to the third world war, and they in particular, they usually step on the brakes when it comes to some massive increase in the supply of weapons because they are afraid of what this could lead to in relations with the largest nuclear power in the world, as we see the french as one of the smaller conventional military forces of russia uh, and this and this

layering uh, it leads to this caution that annoys ukrainians, uh, on the other hand, uh, i think the latest announcement of american aid of approximately 3 billion dollars shows that, after all, support for ukraine is becoming more and more systematic and targeted on average length the goal, again, it can be interpreted like this, well, it's scary. they just want to continue the war, but that means that it won't be er, just er, they decided on this place, and already in two months, they forgot er and went on, er, yes what if you look at everything that has been done in these 6 months and you can really argue that it's all too late. it all had to be done 12 months ago and maybe there wasn't what we have today, that's why we see the equivalent. i don't know how many state defense budgets and conditions of ukraine, which heads have already flown here

have arrived, now it’s more about the average goal, and again, from the ukrainian point of view , the reaction is a slowdown from the point of view of the bureaucratic systems of western countries, which are used to determining the pace of what they do, it all happens quite quickly. a month must have passed in that genu, what a singer about what, well, they say ukraine, our bet has already been made, what do you think about it, how seriously should it be taken, and this is a good sign for us, you know, uh, a lot was said, i myself, like again, even before 19th year er, the delegation came there, they looked at their papers and er noted whether that standard had already been formally

implemented somewhere by some resolution or not, what we see now is er, in 6 months, the rearmament of the ukrainian armed forces, er, older but also as it now turns out to be the most modern types of weapons of the nato countries, so that the integration of ukraine into the western defense system has already taken place, and under this, we can kissinger from his centenary is right from the perspective ursula fonderline was a prophet at the beginning of the war. when she said about the ukrainians, you are one of us. so this is a big, big psychological revolution among the leaders of the western world that took place against panormania. you were also in europe recently. i don't know. have you heard? uh,

russians on the streets of european cities , why do you think not all european countries are in a hurry to deprive russians of the opportunity to travel to europe ? why do they count on the fact that the sanctions will finally work and somehow show the russians where is their place and this deters them from waging a war in ukraine, the interests of the russians are there. they have a lot of real estate and belong to the economic base of this country, for example, as an eu country, on the other hand, there are people who believe that -e, despite the experience of the past 30 years, e-e, if russians continue to see the normal, peaceful life of europe, it will somehow affect them and they
