at the front need a lot of things every day, and that's why it 's part of my life. today - it's helping the armed forces of ukraine, and i'm very grateful to my colleagues for they support me in this, thanks to our soldiers, i can at least briefly distract myself from the continuous stream of news, admire nature while walking in the park with my wife, i see the seemingly beautiful in such simple things. i know that my family is behind the backs of fantastic people who protect our dear ukraine at the cost of their own lives the least i can personally do to thank our indomitable defenders is to transfer funds for the needs of the army, join and you, each of you can help even a small contribution to

the support of the army saves the lives of our soldiers and brings our victory closer. good day, we are back on the air espresso andriy saichuk lesya vakulyuk we are working two more hours in this studio today for you eh and now we will talk about what andriy i don't know if we don't have a letter yet i very briefly, because he told the story, i think it is important, i saw that one of the developers of one of the most successful mobile games. do you know that now everyone is playing poor prayer games in the whole world, i will not name them so as not to advertise. here they are this is an israeli company, but they also have a lot of ukrainians in their team, so they decided to support the ukrainians in some way and introduced two new characters, one is called attention, taras the fierce, taras is a hyphen, and the other is called marichka deaambreiko, because marichka is invincible or

invincible, and we can be very interesting show just this one. i hope we can now start like these characters, yes, well, it’s clear, she started from the wrong side, everything is as usual, okay, friends. well, help, the wet one, let’s show now there are two characters, one her name is marichka she cooks her name is taras eh that's interesting and in the meantime i'll explain why it's important look incredible my river is so eh church on the head it's with ribbons it almost looks like a ukrainian woman it's in phones now in the world in miles hundreds of millions of people, you understand, and these are people somewhere to cook small, these are people somewhere in france, somewhere in portugal, in brazil, they open and there they are looking at them there there there there marichka is dancing there this taras from ot look what an absolutely fantastic image very beautiful very beautiful, made with love, and there in that is, there are

characters, all kinds of elves, all kinds of japanese characters, samurai, everything that is already a part of world pop culture, and ukraine, through such and such examples, enters the world world as a brand of world culture and no one else will not understand who the ukrainians are, no one will pay the ukrainians with the russians. because of such breakthroughs, you consider them great cultural breakthroughs because that is how people are, or very simple things, we learn that there are some irish people with their st. patrick culture and this is also important, we will learn that there are some japanese people from their culture and samurai, and there are some ukrainians with a cossack culture, who have otsi girls , marichki, with such, for example, these tapes, and so on, ukrainians themselves will watch this game and think e- there are girls with the name marichka, and masha marichka is taras. that is, this is a new cultural diplomacy, and well, it's really cool that such things are happening, it's on the level of what

happens in music, for example, when pink floyd collaborates with our klymok and this and it happens to be at the top of some world charts and just here and oh, a red viburnum in a meadow suddenly becomes world-famous for absolutely some kind of song with the soul of ukrainian, these are fantastic cultural breakthroughs to which, you understand, people of nations go sometimes for centuries and can offer nothing and you can offer nothing by the way, this is very interesting, because the russians are parasites on their culture. so, i already said it in the first three hours, i repeat it, just look, i really like the opinion of roman keshur of the ukrainian lviv's e.e. psychoanalyst who says that we have a problem with russian culture, one viewer asked us about pushkin, she showed how pushkin was dismantled in dnipropetrovsk, dnipropetrovsk region, what is the problem, what is the problem with pushkin, russian culture is to some extent a narrow culture in that sense that it is only 200 years old.

it begins with peter the great and ends in 1917. when in fact they and that is , the colonization of asia by western colonists invited by peter and peter and they actually took place created this culture which is essentially a plus minus i am western there with its specifics very deep nihilism with disbelief but it is like dostoevsky ’s there in czech and so on it does not exist and does not exist and it was completely destroyed in the 17th year and there is nothing left of russian culture and because of the split culture that existed, well, they say that like the portuguese culture that existed at the time of the creation of brazil. but is portuguese culture brazilian culture, all the same obviously not, gentlemen. now we are joined by you, the executive director of the institute of world politics, and oleg rybachuk, a politician and public figure, the head of an analytical advocacy organization, the center for joint actions. and you are already joining us. i'm sorry for making you listen to my

cultural speculations. but the viewer said that old man taras had a georgievska ribbon on his chest, i didn't see the georgievska ribbon there well, but er, russian trolls will surely see igorevska ribbon everywhere in the kremlin grass, even where there is none. so, er mr. yevgeny mr. olezhe mr. oleg is already with us yes yes glory to ukraine heroes glory to ukraine i know that mr. rybachuk was in the united states not so long ago, but he has already returned and has already, in principle, familiarized himself with the living conditions of ukrainians before a certain action yes well, it's good that i'm at least on the phone, so we're looking forward to it, gentlemen. i 'd like to start by saying that today we want to talk about the fact that zelenskyi was asked by the european union

to evaluate the fulfillment of the candidate's criteria. of the week and very high-profile laws, i just want us to talk about them, do they bring us closer to membership in the european union, in particular, it is about a law that changes the procedure for electing judges of the constitutional court, as well as law 56-55 about the city, there are changes to the law on urban planning, uh, it was also very, very much discussed, it is an ambiguous law, here is your opinion on how to evaluate this activity regarding european integration in the parliament. this week, i don't know, let's start with p, not yevgena well if we speak as he said systematically, then we must proceed from the fact that we should focus not only on the seven

commitments that ukraine took after receiving the candidate data in the summer of this year, because it will be a kind of self-deception if we focus on not all of these commitments yazan, and when the representatives of the authorities violently report that they burned it, they forget that there was enough of such a discussion around the law on the media and, er, many things. the position is that undemocratic things do not come, but in the matter of the appointment of judges of the constitutional court and the adoption of the corresponding law and things at will and adequate they absolutely did not pass if on the contrary, that is, we know that last week three

judges of the constitutional court submitted their resignations , accordingly, at least three appeared vacancies and there will be a lot of talk about the fact that now there are hundreds of the constitutional court, they will be more er well, it may become tame for the authorities. i think that you are already a dangerous thing because, for example, among ukraine's obligations regarding integration into the european union include, for example, the adoption of the anti-organic law, but after the appropriate examination, they have already stuffed figures with the dome of the verkhovna rada on the venetian figurines of the valuable commission. with russia, they influence the fact that this law does not turn into such a

political kiyop in order to beat people who are not loyal to the current ukrainian government. you can tell about these laws, how they were adopted, the order itself and the adopted, how much they brought us closer to some european practices , i can’t say that the ukrainian government machine has a long tradition, they are the same, exactly the same. the government worked when it was necessary to receive the next tranche of the currency fund, as bad students, everything on the last night and then everything is accepted with a bang, the only thing is that the west has learned to react in a completely different way because the same naive currency fund, when it evaluated the implementation, can adopt all the laws, all that were foreseen there in in this case, the obligations of ukraine to the european union, but then the european union

says that we will analyze and you started the program there with the fact that zelensky addressed zelensky addressed in response to the reaction of the european union, which said that we will receive by the end of the year what you received there, then analyze and where i wanted to speed it up, but speaking in general, first of all, simply accepting the law itself does not mean at all from the point of view of the reasonableness of this wiser measure does not mean at all the implementation and further, if zelenskyi really wants ukraine to get closer to the european union, then half steps will not pass. look at orban, the country is already there, and nato is the european union, and i did not receive almost 7 billion. god did not finish his anti-corruption

legislation there, so i would not particularly bother here i wasn't worried about the fact that there are a lot of problems here , so they will submit it so that it is accepted, and then my forecast will be approximately such that when it is analyzed, it will be indicated what needs to be corrected and you will correct it like a pigeon because where do you share if you want to be part of the european union, now it is not a wish, it is not the vinnik commission that recommends. that they created a structure that will analyze the conformity of the adopted laws with the european legislation. but again everything was thrown there and the cabinet of ministers simply does not have the ability to analyze everything that is related to the primary tenthly, it needs to be adjusted a little so that there is really a professional analysis of what is submitted for

compliance with european legislation, european experts should be involved, they are there and we will move, but the formula is a reform without kickbacks . in our jitter, they also complained that they receive draft laws so late that they don't even have time to run to understand what those draft laws say , and not only about the fact that there is some special a structure has been created that must understand the compliance of these draft laws here, the people's elected representatives themselves simply cannot even understand what they have to vote for by the evening, they received it on the second day, they have to vote, well, this is part of that culture of ours that i told you about because i had to . i was there and there is a will in the parliament, i just saw it on my own skin and felt it in the government, i want to tell you that, for example, i, like him, the prime minister could receive documents for consideration by the government in the morning an

hour before the government meeting, and there were 100 questions agenda. that is, all this is not the same as shortcomings, i don’t even know what to call it, that is, our government machine is hopeless, but if we there complain a little about all these procedural things in the west, then we will have to dig it all out, because the shortcomings of this system are that it is most desirable, sincerely, it was the reason for the desire of deputies to understand or to prepare government officials, it does not give such an opportunity, but we will have to deal with it. we are just now talking through the stump, er, our aggressive neighbors, but we accept something, we accept something later it will be will be analyzed and then it will be returned, where it will be very clearly indicated what needs to be done and will have to be corrected , not journalists, not public activists , you can't relax. and one more thing, our government absolutely does not have the capacity, it is not possible to

prepare real documents that meet european standards, what capacities are there there in the non-governmental sector, the non-governmental sector, in turn, has no experience of cooperation with the government, and the government does not want to cooperate, until we find it in such communications that the government does not the government sector could submit documents, you know, in the form of a ready-made product, you know, so that you can only heat it up and eat it, instead of making some recommendations, and this is a challenge before us, and i am waiting for this from many top politicians and european- americans. what is this inclusivity such a fashionable old cossack word. there will be no inclusivity in the decision-making process, we will simply learn from zelenskyi zelenskyi, time is ticking and we cannot be a candidate for 15 years, we understand all this very well in our country, the war is in parallel reforms are parallel there, european integration

is a parallel fight against corruption, it has to be done at the same time, there is no capacity. therefore, we need to learn how to make decisions optimally so as not to question them later, but it will have to break down a couple of times . and then, but about the fact that the ukrainian authorities understand now, well, it will not go away from the squash i'm onslaught . well, it definitely won't pass. it's a miracle that we got this candidate status. now it's real. we need to cooperate, we need to listen, and we need to do better right away, and we need to rework the way. but without processing we will not slip through i just have a clear forecast if there are all the documents if the basic principles are violated there they will not pass we simply see on the example of even the armed forces of ukraine that there is also a certain kind of decentralization and the ability to transfer the initiative about it valery zaluzhzhi for example in an interview with the latter, he also says that the initiative is given and he does not have to control each general, as he does

soroviken and the syroviki himself, he listens to his generals from there all day today that is, that is how everything works in them, and or what exactly mr. oleg is talking about now. and if we have such a poorly functioning system, the very vertical of the government, for example, if we have such a bad system, it is because of the nuts and the extent to which it is ineffective, then such laws as 56-55 there may be good things, but they simply reduce the opportunities of just some low-level people to me. it seems to me that the initiatives of local self-government are a little undermining the decentralization reform, and plus we see such things as, for example, the same certain chernihiv mayor troshenko i understand that he is an opposition mayor, but this is a very strange situation because, well, even well, it is not obvious, well, it seems absolutely obvious that the court's decision looks like, well, that is, relatively speaking, it is signed by wolves and the decision you have, for example, has been eliminated. well, because well, just

look for that, for example, the same atroshenko was punished, all this is simply ridiculous. that is, when he was not allowed to drive a private car, he gave an official permit for a woman to enter poland with a child, while he remained in a besieged volume all the time place, well, it’s just ridiculous that he is being dismissed for this - he is being dismissed now from uh-uh from an elected position by a court decision, how is it to comment on these dangerous signals, mr. yevgeny, understanding . just as ukraine will not become a member of nato during this period, because even our brightest allies, the most consistent, they will simply say dear our ukrainian friends, our voters did not give us a mandate to were accepted into the ranks of our political or

military-political club in the conditions when you are at war with a state that is nuclear, that is aggressive , that has shown everyone what is happening, and you just have to report on the fact that we passed the bills that require us, we have inside our society to understand that the phrase democracy is a procedure, it plays a role in principle, it is necessary in principle, and it should be the content of the work, not just we have what was called the majority, and then when mr. andriy was pleased with the draft law
