[000:00:00;00] it is cheap and expensive to make it the basis of the work, but the work itself is very far from a folk song, but it still happened that four ukrainian chants are called that, and here they coincided, so that when i wrote this work it was just that there were battles in the kharkiv region, exactly in those villages where i recorded these songs. it’s not just that i took well-known songs, but those that i will still be a student in folklore expeditions , i recorded them in the villages of kharkiv and until then i look at the map and see that this is the boriv district this is such a village. and i know it is malt. i see how it is there. at first, it was in the red zone

, that is, it was captured and not occupied, then it was sessed in the gray zone, which means that there are battles there, then it is already liberated. this is also such an incredible coincidence of circumstances for me it's so very unusual to move slowly here because i'm usually late somewhere, so it was possible to pass everything by jogging ana i want to turn on the light but i can't when there were explosions it was the beginning of march

all the windows were knocked out and unfortunately there were no windows after that i was 18 years old and that's why the heating system is not working now, but hmm, we fixed all the windows over the summer, well, this is not the final option, but still, we replaced the windows, and that's why now, yes, in some classes, there is a feeling that everything seems to be in general it's fantastic how they did it because it's clear that there was nothing here and there's a problem with the fact that these windows are big, it's not that you can just cover them and yes so i want to say that it was done by two well in general then the work of four people, two people removed all the glass from conservatories and the other two were put in place and this. well, i see it every day, but it is still a surprise to me that two people

did it all by themselves. hmm, it's just fantastic. on may 2 , our university celebrated the 105th anniversary of its founding, and then when we gathered on this stage, it was such a very emotional moment, and all the heads of kharkiv cultural institutions came because they are all our graduates and work in them. all our graduates and when we gathered here there are no windows . in may, it was such an emotional experience. we did a small concert and those people who stayed in kharkiv played and played , including the music of ukrainian composers. well, it really is understandable, and from that moment we started the process of returning and now we are working on it so that he was long-term so that we really worked here and

were here and we hope that our students will be able to return . my book on leonid grabovsky, a ukrainian composer, was published here

. my folklore collection was published here. some of mine were added after the war, we will restore everything with joint efforts. i hope that our colleagues from the babylon 13 studio watched another mini-film from the cycle of art in ukraine during the war about oleksandr e-e , a ukrainian composer from szczecin who, since 2018, has been teaching at the kharkiv national university of arts named after kotlyarevskyi, we congratulate the next guest , oleksiy koshel, the head of the committee of voters of ukraine joins oleksiy, we congratulate you good day good morning good afternoon well, let's talk about the ukrainian deputies who actually are by russian agents or semi-agents who sit not only in the verkhovna rada but in local councils, let's start with the local ones. we spoke with a deputy of the zaporizhzhia

regional council. they put her there. she is now the head of the military administration in primorsk. this is a regional center that is also temporarily occupied in the south of zaporizhzhia . oblast. she is a deputy of the zaporozhye oblast regional council. they asked a simple question when evgeny balytskyi, who is a collaborator in the kremlin, signed the act of the so-called accession of zaporozhye oblast to the russian federation, when he ceases to have the mandate of the zaporozhye regional council, when he ceases to be a deputy of the regional council, questions, answers to questions , we have not received the answers to the questions, a year has passed . but the problem is not with them, there will be public victims, there will be interesting stories, the problem is that southern ukraine and eastern ukraine

have approximately 30 to 40% of local councils of deputies, these are deputies of pro-russian parties, this is an upszh opoblok, sorry for the word shariy, and there are still about 10 political parties, but the problem is that in some local councils, deputies from pro-russian parties make up the majority, for example, the slavic city council, the front-line zone, the majority is only parties, but i would like to say the first positive point, for almost a year of the war, we did not have a single precedent when the deputies of the local councils went over to the side of the enemy. the village council did not acquire a decision in the interests of the enemy, but this is a problem. i think it is primarily related to traditional ukrainian political corruption, because the russian party traded mandates in places on the right and on the left , it is obvious that for financial compensation and because of this political corruption absolutely

neutral people to the tez of the russian world, they became deputies from russian parties, but the problem remains, that is, if we now see how these deputies vote, we see that this is the maximum insertion of a stick in the wheels they remain to work on the foundations of the russian world. well, what do i mean? who voted there against the explanation of the monument to catherine the second in odesa, deputies of pro-russian parties and similar examples of decommunization on the ground are enough, well, these are the most obvious things. such a litmus test to see the characteristics of the deputies of local councils, but the problem needs to be solved because the next votes may not be about decommunization, but about much more serious things, and the plus is that we have a similar the situation when the parties are banned by the court and the deputies continue to work and feel quite comfortable, that is why i want

to remind and constantly remind about this that about 7-8 months ago a draft law of the cabinet of ministers was registered in the parliament, i emphasize the cabinet of ministers, which provides for the possibility of taking away mandates from deputies of local councils. banning pro-russian parties, and this bill will not pass even through the specialized parliamentary committee. i want to remind you that, dear deputies, this is a monomajority government that you appointed, which you are you controlling this legislative initiative of theirs, please support and we can er within a very short period of time simply er clear the local councils from the russian world p oleksiy a how to clear in the future the possibility to exclude such people from participating in local self-government in general in politics er register there who was a member of these parties or the famous party

of regions, simply ban these people from participating in the political process, it is possible in your opinion that this will be a restriction, it is mandatory and it is much more important than banning the faction now it is impossible to ban the psg, i.e., the upsj faction. or rather, it is impossible to deprive two parliamentary groups of their mandates, but there are draft laws that prohibit participation in session meetings and committee meetings. and let's say there was a statement by mr. stefanchuk from the parliamentary speaker, who stated that the best way to deprive them of their mandates is elections yes, this is true, but for me there is a more authoritative opinion , this is a representative of the verkhovna rada in the constitutional court, who assumed that such a draft law could be in line with the constitution , now regarding the future, this is much more important

the question is not whether we will take away the mandates, again in the parliament there is a corresponding bill that provides for the ban on running for deputies from pro-russian parties , that is, in other words, we need in the language of conviction for a ten-year period. from the 14th year, moreover, from the village council to the ukrainian parliament to the ukrainian parliament, he was a deputy from russian parties and was the leader of this party was one of the leaders of the branches of this party, please go on political retirement, the state forgets about you, you only communicate with law enforcement agencies if you have a question, if we do not do this now , we will be forced to constantly play these russian projects and believe me they will appear, there will be enough of them from the outside, it may be a party with a patriotic name, but with anti-european, anti-nato

rhetoric, and russia is interested in such projects. the next extraordinary meeting is indifferent and accepting to lose with the russian peace in ukrainian political life, but even in the environment of the president in the office of the president, there seem to be two, well, right away, i can’t name the deputy heads of the president’s office who were deputies of pro-russian parties in the local councils of zaporizhzhia and donetsk if i am not mistaken, and on the biographies of the heads of military administrations and district administrations, there is a sufficiently large package of those who were connected with the russian world, nothing terrible will happen if we let's clean up the entire video from the president to the place to the local councils. on the contrary, it will contribute to the arrival of new politicians, new ideas, new

political forces, and i think that a sufficiently powerful faction can emerge from those who are currently defending ukraine at the front, there are many professional lawyers and experts, and those who i am ready to go and work, including in the highest legislative body. it is clear. well, i understood that evgeny balytskyi will enter the new election with a mandate, that is, until the 20-25th year, he will remain a deputy of the zaporizhzhia regional if the parliament will pull this way, then this shameful brand will be applied to us, we will talk about what is happening there, the deputies from the so-called pro-russian parties from the opposition parties, in particular , well, the powers of the deputies of the deputies are already made up in bundles, but those who remain are not forced out of the parliament by any means, that is, they vote with the government for the necessary draft laws, and in principle it suits everyone and is possible for ukraine. it is good , by the way, do you think they vote with the authorities

? that is, they are not the main ally, the main ally remains the deputies group trust, well, at least the voter committee conducted a study based on the results of the year. trust is the number one ally and then the two deputy groups of the former psg are allies number two , so they vote in unison with the government on fundamental bills, but what do they get in return? that is, i don't want to say assume that this political agreements , that is, well, it can be evaluated rather emotionally, because the authorities have enough votes with confidence. i think this is just a tactic of banal survival, but they need to survive so that they are not put in prison that they did not squeeze out business so that they would have a political future, that individual bills were blocked, please note that there were several stories when bills were blocked , in particular, due to the maximum obstacles for the church of the moscow patriarchate, the meetings of the relevant committees were abandoned together by the servants of the people

common with the former opzzh, that is, certain elements of this of a political union they have a place and therefore it is a reliable and convenient ally who will always vote for anything that is not even hinted at government eh but i think that the parliament it is to their own detriment, most of them work to their own detriment, as it delays decision-making by the deputies of local councils and by the parliament and, in the future, by pro-russian political parties, and we are actually transforming the information field with such a marathon, today someone makes a mandate tomorrow for someone takes away the mandate through the court after the criminal case pe- we need to solve the issue together put an end to forget and do other things and now we see just a beautiful

telethon unfortunately, it suits, apart from the law, to take away deputies, in particular, local mandates . well, if they give one of the options, they do not repent , they say that they were confused by the wrong force, they went to the elections, there is no law, the voters who elected them can somehow take away their right delegated to represent them in the councils , fortunately , they cannot , why am i talking? the possibility of recalling the deputies, but they were unrealistic, they were unrealistic by almost 100%, why am i saying fortunately , because when there are no pro-russian parties and we will have such a moment in our history when we forget about them, they will not be alive or dead at all none, then this mechanism for recalling deputies can serve

as a mechanism for political repression against opponents, and that is why i am opposed to introducing it , this is a very risky moment, but instead of removing mandates now, i don’t see it possible there are no violations of the current legislation, no violations of the constitution and there is a good government work, it just needs to be accepted but i think that it is much more profitable to keep the pro-russian parties on a short leash, you know, like how evil dogs in the yard are kept on a short leash so that they are tame. it is convenient for them to keep such information that we lay down slow-acting because we legalize them after all, public eyes, demonstrative moments, they are important to show people that here they are well, they are involved they paved the way for the russian tanks with ideology, i.e. now we will keep

them on a short leash and then explain to the people why we should not vote for them further. the leash is very convenient, someone comes from monaco, can’t leave, shares business, rewrites assets, eh, can you imagine, behind the scenes, but there is a big, many million, no action, when businesses are rewritten, when they are bought out , journalistic investigations appear about medvedchuk's business, which is transferred there to persons close to the authorities and many other processes , it has always been like this. and now i am not cynical, it is war by war, and money does it, it is divided. the more loyal these deputies will be, pay attention, they in the parliament even voted for the ratification of the istanbul convention , for 10 years before that they said no. but

suddenly they changed their political positions, and that's why i think that this is so very convenient moment, we do not see this process, but it is really happening and a separate investigation shows that it is really so . you can put pressure on someone . - very significant and they have a lot of people very convenient oleksiy thank you for explaining to us all these processes that are not on the surface, but you need to know how it all happens oleksiy basket was with us and the head of the committee of voters of ukraine, we shake hands yes, our next guest is mark lojger, director of the master's program in global management and associate professor, america kyiv, former special adviser on russian affairs and the commander of american forces in europe, and the general would

be there. greetings. good morning, it's always nice to talk to each other on facebook . thank you for joining us. let's talk about what a separate meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine organized by the united states of america will be held tomorrow at the nato headquarters, in a press release the alliance is talking about this. well, there is already a report that our minister of defense went there. what are your predictions? i think that the next meeting tomorrow in ramstan will be one of the most important, because i can clearly see, er, not even the evolution of weapons assistance, but rather revolutionary leaps at each stage and everyone met in ramstan. there is one such revolutionary stage where these conditions fall, for example, mental

blocks in germany to other countries, and not every stage we see gradation and help for ukraine, and we have already seen how it happened with tanks, for example, in the 20th e- e 20th e e last month ago and i think that already tomorrow there will be progress on the creation of a tank coalition. as your minister reznikov said , there were tanks. of course, this is a very complex, complex process. the project must coordinate everything.

combat vehicles, this is a process of even repairing and e. hmm, education ammunition and others , a-a such complex logistics and many countries are participating here. guarantors that ah, you get not only tanks, but also aviation, already combat planes, ah, it could be miguel from poland and other leaders of slovakia , for example, and it could be and i really hope already, and f16, and also a very complex project well, here we are talking about several months of the future it should have been an event for should have been done in last year to be honest but better late than never therefore and airplanes i think i will central such a topic is also very important what do you do with ammunition ago and it was more difficult your

e seeding is used by thousands every day this is more than recycling for he for separate countries in europe and i really hope that cooperation will be established, and with, for example, ukroboronprom, your oh-so-powerful defense industry, which can, for example, process ammunition together with european or american partners. i can already see that i have some contacts, for example, with british companies, so that's tomorrow will be very important in my opinion, i will make important more important decisions on the eve of the 9th of ramstein . today, for the time being, our minister of defense, oleksiy reznikov, wrote the following on facebook , having from 9:00 a.m. lead the united team from the representatives of the ministry of defense, the intelligence of the general staff and our diplomats, which will work intensively with partners in the coming days, the pace is extremely high. well, he said that

the next items on the agenda will be the defense of the ukrainian sky, including through the involvement of an aviation platform, the development of a tank coalition, the formation of the ammunition reserve that you mentioned training programs for our soldiers, that is, it came from abroad and the stability of support, logistics , service, repair, practically, the implementation of military schengen, what are the problems with repair of the equipment that was previously provided to the ukrainians and how they can be solved, please. as far as i know, such problems as the western equipment will be received, but through poland, for example, or romania, the payments must be repaired, they must be sent back to poland, for example, and there are such i already repairs, well, in the repair system, eh. so, the poles and

the taxes are hundreds of kilometers - this is more distance from the front from ukraine, therefore, in my opinion , it would be very logical if the partners have already made a decision that they will do such eh, such systems such a base, such a base, a repair base, even in ukraine, i don’t see a lot of logic, if such an intensive combat operation, that every element of equipment, what kind of damage, must be sent back, it’s tens of tons, well, such heavy machines, and that’s why i think that your industrial defense is certain it has the power, it has the ability to obtain, but of course it is necessary to keep patents from western partners for the sake of cooperation. as

i said before, i really hope that the western partners will understand and that it was not here, only there, these were not the subject of such er commercial just by talking, let's make money for this. and there is also such a god more partner project from the point of view of helping you get it, so you need it to win this year, and not if this war has not dragged on. and in the future, mr. marko. and who is leading our delegation for the ninth time, will it be different, is it important for western partners or not? i mean that against the background of all this ukrainian history regarding the change of the minister, now the parliament is going to change the law specifically so that the minister could become a non-civilian military person, it seems they call kyryll budanov the main candidate

oleksiy reznikov seems to have resigned last week rammstein didn't go here, it's important personal connections, personal contacts with reznikov because they know him, they are used to him at every rammstein with him they support some kind of dialogue there, he has some reputation and his own publicity. if there is a replacement now , it may have a strategic effect on the success of these meetings and on the provision of aid to ukraine , so watch. i think the event will help you in the future and regardless of who will be the minister, because this is a process that has been going on for a year and it is logical that the post of minister and changed ministers is part of the democratic process, this happens in the western world. well, remember johnson was

the prime minister - as a minister, or earlier or there is already er-er registration ago and many ministers, many prime ministers change in the western world and--and that's why it helps- continues, but of course , the cows in the specific minister's contacts are already on the laurels of his team, he caught contacts with cooperation is good eh in terms of functionality with western partners, it is logical that it will be easier to just work out such details and the answer is about help to continue ... it does not matter who the minister is - this is the first sovereign decision as a democratic country . but it seems to me that at this stage, in the middle of the war, before the russian offensive, there are

continues i think and it would be logical to just use this network of contacts that you already have of citizens to leave this country, is there any confirmation that this is related? well, you see, for many years, there has been such a process in russia that western americans who are in russia are being used as hostages. that is, you know, there was a girl who was a former basketball player marines and others therefore, probably already at this stage, when america intervened , uh, specifically, directly, i showed in the plan

to help ukraine, the american authorities are logically worried that the russian well, if the kremlin will take revenge, and in this way, in a hybrid way, that is is it really possible to arrest an american, americans who are in russia, and then, unfortunately, they use them as some kind of terrorist organization, you will hand over your americans, your citizens, you will release a person who, for example, is an international criminal, like an arms dealer there are other people who are really very dangerous for the international legal order, and i think it is very logical that now and if, of course , our american intelligence has data that there will be even more offensives, and of course it is expected that
