country two days ago and hit the oil base of the varian region, yes, we received confirmation of this, there was such an attack at night, already in the territory of the russian federation, yes, it is very clear, what are these, our things are working, and i am sure that our drones are also as it is now, two, you can go, there will be three , they will be useful for the common good, for the common victory, it is interesting that he went to the election of this name for the drone, what is the message for russia, this name, which by itself carries such a kind of appeal to peace. yes, this is a piss . - a little on the it was written in cyrillic, it collected 15,000 uh votes in two hours of voting , all of this was accepted as we wanted it to be. it was accepted and

such dialogues have already begun to be built when uh, the russian black sea fleet will explain what uh-uh got into their frigate uh- and it is necessary to call things by their names because this shows a sense of humor that is inherent only to lithuanians but also to ukrainians especially in these difficult times. can you please remind me of the story about the collection ? it turned out to be the best story that happened to us this year. and because, well, in principle, for these 6 million that we collected in 3.5 days , we actually received 12 million even. an actor from ukraine will present to this fight. i think there is one more such a big one, and the plus was that other countries also started to do it, that is, we were

the first, then right away, sergey prytula began to collect and eventually collected four actors. three of them and it will appear so if i am not mistaken again then the poles started to collect, they collected, and again, they gave the boykor of cars. so, well, we have such an interesting company , we started such a company. 1.5 million euros were spent on the purchase through our e-e ministry of defense for the purchase of a-a missiles and bob for the bayraktar for our bayraktar and 4.5 million were distributed, we bought five more e-e so- called graves eto drones and scouts estonian drones scouts that are very necessary for artillery fire corrections, we received quite

a few videos of how they work successfully, and also bought 110 ot bedron weapons with wingman radars , and bought a data processing center for reconnaissance drones that were handed over to your special unit, the war has been going on for almost 9 months already so far, these wars are closing very quickly. i also say to my subscribers on social networks that this is very good mental gymnastics and mental physical exercises, we just need to raise our heads, look at the sky and there, in lithuanian, in the lithuanian sky, nothing flies .

salaries. we have electricity. everything is fine . yes, we help you, of course. ok so it's so simple , it's probably so simple, it's trivial, but it works. i think there ca n't even be a conversation. weapons, medicines , and other things, but we ourselves work more with weapons through the ministry of defense, because i think that everything is already uh, the war needs to be won, weapons have become the new president of the national olympic committee of ukraine minister of sports vadim husayd included

two politicians, deputies of the verkhovna rada, hryhoriy surkis and nestor shufrych, who are members of the platform for life and peace group, which was formed on the ruins of the pro-russian armed forces, former fencer athlete vadim gud, the site will replace the legendary serhiy bubbka as president of the national olympic committee pole vaulter bubka led the nok for 17 years and has now refused to run for office. good site, who won olympic gold in fencing in the 92nd year since march 2020, is the minister of youth and sports, but associates of the pro-russian politician viktor medvedchuk, people's deputies nestor shufrych and hryhoriy surkis, among others, also became members of the group, and among others, the strongest boxer at two-heavyweight is oleksandr usyk and the famous football player andriy shevchenko in the past. well, is there any news about the fact that the football player and coach a. a. shevchenko announced that he was leaving the national olympic committee. this

happened the next day, today, after it was announced that the new team presumably, shevchenko meant that he was against the composition of nok, which was elected in particular against the membership of hryhoriy surkis and nestor shufrych, well, in general, we will talk about the new composition of the national olympic committee further with us in connection with sports journalists, the founder of the world ukrainian sports agency, valentin shcherbachov dobriy evening let's talk, really, the composition of the newly elected team included such personalities as nestor shufrych and hryhoriy surkis - these are people close to viktor medvedchuk, these are people who were part of the currently banned opposition platform for life, in your opinion, is this not, so to speak , a blow to the ukrainian olympic movement, when such people become members, it is a blow, it was today, they have already submitted statements that they are leaving the national olympic committee, these statements on vadim's table of the outside site,

they understood a little bit of experience in politics, they have a huge amount, and they understood that the entire sports and non-sporting public of ukraine is against them, er, against their new positions in andriy shevchenko submitted a resignation letter to the national olympic committee not only because of this, but in principle he had, and had the right to be. what about these deputies, odious deputies? they are no longer a member of the national olympic committee, and thus all the claims of the entire of our public sporting and non-sporting e. i think in this sense it has been removed. well, we can congratulate the new president of the ivano-frankivsk committee. he is a minister. he will also hold a position on the national olympic committee. as a leader this one is an olympic champion, an experienced and

sportsman, an official with a lot of experience, now you know what we have, but i would say so, the minister and the cabinet as a whole and all of them, in principle, are governed not by a sleight-of-hand, not by the prime minister, but by the administration of president vadym markovich a good experience of such, you know, declamation and contacts with the presidential administration, it is very important, what about changes in sports, i do not see that radical changes will soon take place in our sports life in mass sports life. and we have two tasks that must be faced by any hostile body before the mini of this sport, which, unfortunately, may again fall under the reduction. there will be a reduction in the cabinet of ministers and not a few of them. well,

our industry of physical education and sports suffers a lot withstands a lot of reforms, but there is really such accessibility to you and me to ordinary citizens of the accessibility of the port of physical culture well, so far there is no such thing, although there are some changes, but still, it is repainted, i would say so. the soviet system surprises me, you know. now, well, the olympic policy has been taken over by its leader. and in our two federations, today the presidium of the basketball federation of ukraine was held again. mykhailo trotsky, such authoritarians , will be the leader of this basketball federation. basketball is not in the best condition. although it is a very popular sport and i'm not the biathlon federation either. well, the winter olympic games are here in 2022, and that's why biathlon is the number

one sport. it's been in decline for the past two years. now he's running for president. the name in our biathlon is the olympic champion , our dmytro pidruchny, he was supported. but deputy ivan franko took this position and i think that if he does not take on the deputies of such , you know, systematic training, then biathlon , our broadcast of the olympic games will really focus on the national olympic committee, there is really a lot of news here already during our there is also talk about the fact that hryhoriy surkis and nestor shufrych are leaving the national olympic committee. and there is already confirmation about this on the official website of the national olympic committee, but we know that previous andriy shevchenko said that he will be coming out. do you think that shevchenko will return to

the lineup now? will there be any? would also apply for the position honestly. to be honest, with his authority, for the position of president of the national olympic committee, now saying, as they say, he will not go back, but he will apply for the election of the president of our ukrainian association andriy shevchenko can quite possibly apply for this position. andriy has a high authority in sports in the world, and no matter what they say, names are very, very important, as you can see from the way our mayor vitaliy klitschko has authority and is accepted in the world, and andriy mykolayovych shevchenko is also one of those who represent ukraine, the best in the

world. and it is very important for us today not to forget about ukraine, because there is already some fatigue among politicians in other countries in people who do not understand what it is the war that is being waged against us against the whole world. i did not understand what ukraine said. this territory with this botox church. and we, ukraine, cover up the whole world and forget about it. these are our figures, our outstanding sports figures. they have a lot of weight. usyk entered the national of the olympic committee to the executive committee, this is also of no small importance, although the figure is a compromise, but still, it is already in the world of boxing and all those sports, it is also very important, yes, beniuk. i think that zhan beleniuk did the right thing to nominate his candidacy. i am for that in order to

young, ambitious, our athletes, coaches, they reached such heights not only in their sport, and in general, they made such political decisions, they became the leaders of various sports organizations. so there was a struggle here, but they gave preference to an experienced not only to an olympic champion or a coach, but to a person who has already been in the position of minister for two or two years, and on sunday, november 20, another major sporting event, the world cup in football, but in a boat in the persian gulf , also begins there are many, many discussions regarding this country because of the fact that this country will carry out the activities of the election allegedly unfairly. however, these accusations have not been confirmed officially, however , ukraine did not make it to this world cup. many people criticize qatar for using

foreign labor. there are also complaints about human rights in general, the existence of censorship in this country. well , who in ukraine knows so much about the use of such authorities that may have signs of authoritarianism in large sports events for how do you feel about this world cup in football in this context? indeed, qatar, as i am called the qatar of this football body of the world, is not very good. well , i do not like such a championship, but i will watch it, and any championship is a step forward. but it doesn't take place at the times that are usual for the entire football world. it takes place in a country that really has already shown what journalists tried to film here. well, it's just a stand-up on the square in front of the stadium and they were banned from doing it and there

there will be very serious means and methods used to adapt to er and journalists and to all people who can say something wrong about this championship and about the country from which they report, and this is very, very important freedom of speech there, the country is authoritarian and er, this the world championship. yes, we expect a lot from him purely in terms of sports. everyone bets on some controversial. i believe in the brazilian national team. let's say that germany and britain will show themselves, but uh, about uh, such a side, you know, uh, authority in the world of this there is a question about the championship. thank you very much. we were contacted by a sports journalist, the founder of the

world ukrainian sports agency , valentin shcherbachov. pushkina pjsc continues. now in chernivtsi, the monument to the russian poet alexander pushkin was dismantled. square, as the spokeswoman of the city council of chernivtsi, anastasia kokoyachuk, said, this monument to pushkin is a weighted sculpture that has no historical or cultural value, it is one of two monuments pushkin, which is in chernivtsi, the second one is still standing . lately, ukraine has been actively talking about the demolition of monuments to pushkin and other figures of the russian empire or the times of the ussr . in the last two weeks, monuments to pushkin were dismantled in kharkiv and zhytomyr, but now in serhiy zhadan, a well-known writer in chernivtsi, acts as a harbinger of the pushkin fall. he just took a photo near the pushkin monument in dnipro and kryvyi

rih, and on social media they say that they too may be demolished soon. hello, this week too renamed pushkin avenue to lesya ukrainka avenue well, before the program, we discussed this so-called pushkin fall with the historian and former head of the ukrainian ukrainian institute of national remembrance, volodymyr vyatrovych. look now, a wave of demolished monuments to alexander pushkin is rolling through ukraine, even the term pushkin fall by analogy with lenin's fall, which took place after the revolution of dignity, ep vitrovych, in your opinion, why should pushkin's monuments be demolished now, who is he interfering with now, because it is not easy monuments the monument to pushkin is one of the markers of russian imperialism of the russian empire in ukraine these monuments did not appear in ukraine because it was like this in ukraine 100 years ago there were so many admirers of the work of alexander sergeyevich pushkin who decided on their own

initiative to put these monuments were erected exactly about 100 years ago by the decision of the russian tsarist government. it is obvious that pushkin was not chosen by chance as a certain marker for russians. now let's talk about the fact that pushkin together with tolstoy and one of the creators of the russian imperial myth, and now this russian imperial myth is actually being used to mobilize russians, in particular, for the war against ukraine, so this so-called "pushkinopad" is an absolutely natural reaction of ukrainians to get rid of these markers, which are confirmation for russia of one of the key theses that we supposedly live in one cultural space, that there is no separate ukrainian nation at all, that we are one people, one nation, so the ukrainian state is some misunderstanding that needs to be eliminated. and how do you see it? the fate of the monument to catherine ii in odesa was discussed a lot, there was a survey and according to its results, the majority of odessans are in favor of demolishing the monument to catherine ii. and now, in

your opinion, does this free the hands of the city authorities, who were previously against it and hesitated? and exactly why kateryna 's friends are again not a place in odesa. well, first of all, if we are talking about a specific monument in odesa, it is not even a monument according to the documents. construction, secondly, it does not have any historical infra-cultural value because it is again not some original monument from the past and only some modern replica built again by pro-russian activists to mark this space as a russian, i am very comforted that in the end we waited for a change in the mood of the odesa community itself, which now understands the importance of removing this monument, a monument to a person who ruled the russian empire, destroying ukrainian independence itself, and destroying ukrainian independence introducing the hetman state in ukraine the fortress rule is definitely not the figure that was supposed to

symbolize something important for ukrainians in the ukrainian state, so i am sure that now there is no reason for the odesa city government to stop the removal of this monument from the public space, because from a legal point of view, no restrictions of any kind apply to this figure, it is not part of any national heritage, it does not have any historical value from a political point of view it is obvious that we understand that the presence of such monuments is, again, an additional tool for russia to restore its influence in ukraine, and we ultimately have the most important argument that the local community is finally ready to remove this monument, and what should we really do with such monuments that supposedly have a certain historical and cultural value - this is determined in some way, but they fall under the understanding of this decolonization, we will talk a little later about decommunization, which did not fall under certain a-a works of art, if they have such a

value, what should be done with those monuments that supposedly have this cultural value, they can be preserved, they can be preserved, even exhibited in some museums, reserves, where they actually belong and there is a place to show exhibit them as tools of a certain influence of russia on ukraine, that is, if they constitute some artistic value, most of these monuments are unlikely to establish any artistic value, they are not entered in any registers the ministry of culture, national heritage, but now those of them who establish such an artistic version can be preserved, they simply do not have a place on our central streets, central squares, because their very presence in this public public space is a claim that these are precisely those figures or events that for us, the creators of the russian imperial

myth or even the people who introduced this myth into life, building the russian empire now, especially in the face of the war with the modern russian empire, is that what would we like to be, that we would like to repeat, considering what crimes of the modern russian empire ukrainians have faced today well, not only in kyiv, but in particular, they still stand there are monuments only to representatives of the imperial russian era, but also of the soviet era, in ukraine there is a law on decommunization. i am now specifically talking about, for example , monuments to soviet military leaders vatutinu, but in theory the law on decommunization, which was passed back in 2015, obliges them to comment . do you think they will now advance this issue with the dismantling of these points ? to dismantle these monuments, although there was absolutely no need for any additional decisions, in

relation to the example of the shchors monument, that is, the law on decommunization, the condemnation of the communist pressure of totalitarian regimes and the ban on propagandizing their symbols clearly extends to such an equestrian sculpture as the shchors sculpture, and unfortunately what we had from 2015 to 2022 was a gross violation of the law, the reluctance of the kyiv mayor is, unfortunately, buligov's personal position to fulfill this the law, and as the head of the institute of national remembrance and already stopped being the head of the institute of national remembrance as a politician, i repeatedly raised the question what is this absolutely brutal violation of the law and in the end we must return to the legislative direction it seems now we have returned to this path again, and what was foreseen by the law since 2015 will eventually be done again, if someone believes that these monuments establish some historical cultural value, there was a lot of talk about the monument

everywhere, how is it, what is it especially an important and interesting example of soviet art. i am not an expert in art history. but if this is true, it can be preserved for display in some museums. i apologize for such a possible everyday question, but are there enough museums in ukraine to preserve all monuments that can have such value, i am convinced that in reality there are not so many monuments , some of which are subject to dismantling, that really contain some value, therefore, in principle , the place is convinced that it is enough. you spoke with researchers and historians from different countries in prague. here is your opinion. is there an understanding in the west now of what will happen to russia as a result of the war with ukraine and how the west wants to see russia as a result of the war? what do you think? i am participating in the conference of the european platform of memory and e an understanding that is precisely related to the russian

hybrid war, they gave a report on the use of history by russia in this war against ukraine, the discussion was quite interesting, hot, different points of view, there is an understanding of what russia should be, the most important thing is an obvious understanding that ukraine should win this war, what is all the efforts and efforts of the democratic world should be focused on ensuring that ukraine does win. due to the fact that russia rolled back so far in the past that russia never managed to overcome the consequences of the communist past, as it was possible in the same czech republic and in other simply communist countries, in the end it succeeded in ukraine, this is that the russians were faced with the double problem of overcoming the communist of the totalitarian heritage and overcoming the russian imperial heritage, most of the nations that once had empires, the french, the british, and the germans, in one way or another, went through the process of condemning this imperial past

overcoming the imperial past, the russians, unfortunately , lacked the courage to do so, so this led to a retreat from democratic standards, in essence returning to the soviet union, it will be convinced that russia must rethink not only the communist past, but also the imperial one, that russia must eventually be rebuilt from the modern of the format of the russian federation, which is essentially the russian empire as a set of national democratic states. i am convinced that this process has already started, it is not reversible, obviously that the participation of democratic states in this process can make it as painless as possible , instead, the reluctance to notice this process, the reluctance to support this process in any way can unfortunately lead to the fact that this process can be accompanied by some kind of cataclysm. well, as the head of the institute of national memory, you were actively involved historical memory, in particular, of difficult pages in the history of ukrainian-polish relations, can we say that the current

full-scale aggression of russia and the partnership that has now emerged between ukraine and poland will allow countries turn this page i really hope that in the discussion about the past the truth will remain a field for the discussion of historians here there is something to discuss there is still something to investigate and i am very comforted that you do not know that this topic is disappearing from the political agenda, maybe it has not completely disappeared, but in fact it is disappearing because it becomes clear in poland it becomes clear in ukraine what are the threats we have now from a third power, which is the russian federation, i am much more serious and in the end if this history of the polish-ukrainian conflict in the years of the second world war i, the main lesson of this conflict is precisely that this confrontation between ukrainians and poles will not bring short shrift to any of our peoples, and unfortunately, the russian federation took full advantage of this. what is happening now, especially in 2022, gives me confidence that we have learned this lesson that we

must respect each other and you know, even though now in ukraine there is a large-scale rethinking of the role of the ukrainian rebel army, the person of stepan bandera increasingly more people recognize them as heroes. that is, it shows the polls of the last months, it no longer causes any indignation, any misunderstandings , any statements that with such heroes we will not get to europe, because everyone perfectly understands that the ukrainian army is the army that continues the traditions of the struggle for independence. the ukrainian army is getting stronger because it is looking for its roots in the previous history of the struggle for freedom, in particular the struggle against the russian empire. the day of remembrance of the victims of the holodomor is coming soon how would you explain to the government of foreign countries why, in particular, the holodomor of 32-33 years should be recognized as a genocide of the ukrainian people because it is one of the most terrible genocides that were committed in general in human history, it is one of the most terrible crimes that were committed by the communist totalitarian

regime in the soviet totalitarian regime and precisely not condemning this crime, unwillingness to see those crimes as communist crimes, it allows russia to continue essentially this genocidal policy is an indirect link between those genocidal by the actions that russia is taking today in the occupied territories of ukraine and by what it did here in ukraine in the 1930s and 1940s, i am convinced that the condemnation of the holodomor as genocide in 1932-1933 is very comforting that the appeal to the parliaments was a decision of the verkhovna rada in of our verkhovna rada of ukraine regarding such and such a condemnation, it will be an additional step towards deterring russian aggression, because it will be a very important step towards understanding the essence of russian aggression, unfortunately, there is a lot of what we have witnessed and what we have become the last months on the part of e-e in russia are essentially a repetition of what was done in ukraine during the 20th century of an artificial movement. it was
