[000:00:00;00] of the military, that is, it is trying to the maximum to get at least something from this country in the context of the war against ukraine, but regarding lukashenko's visit to china, it seems to me that these are the things that i read about it. for example, in russian, some of the russian publications changed what they wrote, what is it almost there is putin's hanetso, who will go with some kind of position, will present it, agree on something, ask for help, or generally talk about the fact that china is starting to manufacture something on the territory of belarus, and it will be directly to supply russia there i think it is not worth talking about it now, because lukashenka has his relations with china and in china his relations directly with belarus , they have been working there for a long time , they have invested quite a lot in this country they have certain interests there and these interests do not coincide to a large extent with those interests that are, for example , the russian federation, because it is necessary to understand that china does not want to have any intermediaries in cooperation with these or other countries

. they understand the political, they consider these relations at the level of a suzerain vassal. well, i'm so conditional now, but it reminds me of many stories that take place in africa. in african countries, where china comes and it is basically engaged in such a soft colonization of these countries. well, even a word is possible and it doesn't sound very good, but it doesn't change, only what they are doing there is lukashenko in recent years , especially when there were also sanctions against him. to open the market and the country in general for chinese business, and it really cooperates with the chinese authorities without demanding anything in particular from each other except for a political roof , well, there is a certain political support for some investments . well, and a guarantee of its actual preservation in power, therefore, this story must be viewed through this prism and here to things, russia in particular, putin may be even less interested in such a visit, uh, you know why, because one of the last meetings that took place between the president, well, of course

, another country, meaning kazakhstan and in the end, it ended with china officially announcing that it would make all the necessary efforts to preserve the territorial integrity and sovereignty of its ally kazakhstan, that is, russia sent a signal that this is already our sphere of influence. a very similar story and lukashenka is going there to negotiate exclusively about his own survival - we are waiting for the president or a map of the state so that he will already be invited there, too, so that, by god, some guarantees will be distributed to of other putin's vassals, a little bit of subjects of the russian federation yes yes yes unfortunately we have run out of time thank you very much for your participation , our small talk shortened it er russian anxiety er russian missiles are our anxiety unfortunately thank you to dmytro oleg from political science internationalist and igoretirovych , head of political and legal programs of public organizations, the ukrainian center for social

development were also with us. you also stay with us, because our smartphone continues and continues very soon, i will show you as katrin denek on french television read a poem by lesya ukrainka vladyslav yeschenko, a 24-year-old deminero was wounded while performing a task next to him, and a mine exploded against an infantryman at the moment when it happened completely, that is, up to a second. my combat comrades helped me. that is, i left the field leaning on two guys and when e- we were starting to move, i constantly felt as if i was being pushed to the right side , it seemed to me that we were going around in a circle, i understood that this was a contusion, a severe contusion, i understood that i could not hear anyone, a very strong ringing in my ears and

instant darkness 10 days i was removed eyes in the dnieper so that i didn't have heat to save them was already unreal, that's how they describe it, that at the moment when the explosive wave squeezed out the eyes, it's like cracking an egg and all the contents are just mixed, that is, my eyeball they didn't save me plus my ego survived 30 pieces of shrapnel, they took out my neck, shoulders, arms, legs , thank god, my torso took the whole blow, my bulletproof vest was torn, my face was sewn back together, speaking , it's pretty beautiful, what turned out , i lost my hearing almost completely in my right ear torn tympanic membrane and dead nerve lion's torn tympanic membrane and almost dead nerve

is slowly recovering thanks to the hearing aid i can now communicate with you the bones of the skull were depressed and developed i understand this because i have a titanium plate in my cheekbones and the arch is sticking to the mucous membrane survived the mucous membrane so that i have a smell of no lobbying to the afternoon of the potential of kakoemia, the time was laid down that i so much i would like vladyslav lived in slovyansk already at the beginning of march, he took a military oath and continued to carry out tasks in the area of ​​bachmut plants, he told the girls that the summons came, he loved his friends , he said that the summons came because he understood very well that he would not let go, and he himself came as a volunteer. vladyslav was sent to

the engineer during the demining, we searched for ammunition and threats, and then passed on the information . to carry out demining even while lying down this was our main task specifically detonation or removal of frost we were not engaged in the work of the vigil was chosen by vladyslav not by chance, because the war came to his family's home even when the boy was in the upper grades of school vladyslav was born and grew up among the horliv residents in donetsk region which has been occupied by the russians for almost 9 years, you change the war and rights so badly, my father was quite a small businessman, we lived enough and at that moment when in the 14th it

all started in fact before the day of the war the war started back in the 14th, so when i moved to slavyansk and i had a specific difference between what is happening in horlivka and what is happening in slavyansk on the territory under the control of ukraine , absolutely all the puzzles fell into place and it immediately became clear where the black is, where the white is, where the good where the bad currently, the military man is continuing his rehabilitation, he says that today the doctors have done everything possible for him, they will return exactly normal human vision, my eyes will not be cured, there is no such thing as a transplant

eyes or artificially grow eyes, but there are experimental technologies, in particular, doctors in spain are working on them . of course, i don't understand. i don't have it all , again, it's kept secret because it's an experiment . how much is it? and effectively, i also don't know how to get there. it's possible to get there. now it is necessary to fully understand the documents that i need for the registration of the disability group , to receive compensation and to wait for an invitation from the doctors in alicante. vladyslav was able to help other ukrainian soldiers, there is an idea to found an organization that will help soldiers in the same situation as me, both

morally and materially, and everything i can i am in the same situation for ukraine . nearby, thanks to his fiancee valeria, he is active in social networks yesterday. we read 150 comments about the class . как и хорошие также и так и плохие продужение и хотим отвежать тем, after the treatment, the authorities in spain, the couple plans to get married, valeria received a proposal that when vladislav was in the hospital , such and such a proposal was made. you will marry me

or you will be my wife . -е spain is happening, that is, we are going to spain , and there will be vision regardless of whether there will be no vision. and there is only one way, his way today, to live and help others, not to lose hope, i am doing this because i think that i now owe something to someone, it is not a debt, it is a little different, we were born with such psychology and morality, that is why i

i can proudly say that i am a ukrainian. we are all a huge family, and from there there is such a great strength of spirit. everyone who has given up their hands. everyone who is there loses some kind of hope. who does not have enough of your spirit? for the guys, let 's try my example. if there are problems with this, well, the link will be write social networks yourself i'll dial, i'll negotiate, i'll help again, soul-searching tetyana litvinova andriy verstyuk specially for espresso well, my friends, we're back in our warm, beautiful studio in which we work while we live and you live without worries on foot let's walk back and forth, so to speak, on the 120th floor and in a row, you can say that about our physical health, it would be better for me to take care of our health, but they sat to themselves in the country, they did not brag about us and did not cause us anxiety. well, what is already gone is gone

there is nothing in common, others are calmly given to those who do not less friends february 25 february 25 is the birthday of lesya ukrainka and what i will tell you is very accidental or not so accidental because it happens that there are no accidents my acquaintance journalist olga tokaryuk e-e suggested a video of apostol ukrainka a video from french television on which french actress and in addition to days for the birthday of lesya ukrainka , you see that the french tv channel lesya ukrainka in the photo shows the flag of ukraine katrin denov, who is known to the whole world, and katrin read a poem to him that lesya ukrainka she wrote it when she was 9 years old, which she dedicated to her aunt, a deer who was exiled to siberia, uh, a poem

, i don't have a destiny , i don't have a slave . i suggest you listen to this poem performed by a world-famous actress. in which way of thinking we are all here. that is, we can also say katrina to him to death for popularizing lesya ukrainka for popularizing her and her

poetry. the poem is small but so symbolic , written in 1880 and still and still actual i have neither fate nor will, only hope is left, one hope to return once again to ukraine, to look once more at my native country, to look once more at the banks of the dnipro, and to live or die, i still have to look once again at the steppe, the graves in the last, to remember palki and gaddak no i have neither fate nor will, only hope is left, here is such a poem read in french by a world-famous french actress on french television and this is of course also cultural diplomacy and that war on the cultural front where we could probably think about that what is lesya ukrainka this is how it will sound well, the full-scale invasion makes adjustments and now the french learn more about ukrainian culture why february 25 is still important

in the context of not only the birthday of lesya ukrainka eh in our great poetess but also because this day they want to make the day of ukrainian women in order not to celebrate march 8, which has turned into not a holiday of women's rights, but a holiday of some three carnations and when men congratulate women and remember them once a year volodymyr vyatrovych, people's deputy of ukraine we are in touch and now we will ask him how much this initiative is, whether it has support in the parliament, how far it has gone , or whether this holiday will be on february 25, which is the day of ukrainian women, we congratulate mr. volodymyr on our air good day. was registered by a group of deputies, or does it have prospects for a decision, i am not sure because, for example, i am also not among those supporters who believe

that there should be a separate day in the calendar that will be called the day of the ukrainian woman we can celebrate and it is very good that we are usually the day of lesya ukrainka, but the day of the ukrainian woman is a day for ukrainians. it seems to me that this is a bit misleading and it is a rather strange tradition . i have systematically advocated that march 8 should return to its original meaning. holiday, the original human rights significance of this holiday as a day of struggle for women's rights, that is, it seems to me that volodymyr, among the elements of the return of this original meaning, is exactly the cancellation of the day off on this day, because it is precisely this day off that turns this holiday into you say three carnations, as i say, a cake, such bouquets , absolutely any human rights content was brought up with uh, actually an important day, a day when we should remind about the struggle for women's rights, and this problem remains relevant in ukraine, and

you know very symbolically that among those countries in which this day is a day off, these are russia and azerbaijan, north korea. that is, these are definitely not those countries that are marked by any achievements in the struggle for women's rights, so i hope that it will still come to the point that march 8 will change its format - first and second i wanted to believe that some kind of systemic reform of public holidays would happen in general, because even this proposal proposed in this draft law is fragmentary, and at one time we developed, when i was yesterday, the ukrainian court of national remembrance, a systemic draft law that actually provided for a general the reform of all the holy principles that you celebrate in ukraine, so far, the hands do not reach this , and despite the fact that society has changed, to say that the parliament has changed so much that such reforms i am not sure, and my doubt is strengthened intensified after the last sessions of the verkhovna rada, where a very important draft law that should become a mechanism for decolonization was literally failed

by the amendments of the odious deputy maksym buzhynskyi, that is, we even see that despite the fact that the topic of decolonization has already become very relevant in society, and the absolute majority of ukrainians support it, the results show of sociology unfortunately, this parliament is very, very far behind the social changes taking place in our country until now, when by chance they blurt out that we are in a year of war always correctly, absolutely correctly, they correct that in fact this war began in the 14th year, but at the beginning of march, there will be a presentation of a new book by volodymyr petrovych as a historian, and not only politics, and uh , we know that it is called our book centennial short spawn, i am about the long war so, the hundred years' war with russia is about something, this boat book is timely now. i think that it is timely, and i think that actually such a wider perspective on this war

, it better makes us understand what we are going through now. and in fact, the basis of this book is things that i wrote uh, at first just in texts on social networks, then he recorded the corresponding videos for youtube, just uh, a cycle of such conversations in the whirlwind of history in which i wanted to explain through the prism of history what we see now uh, through the prism of history of this war to show that, unfortunately, this war was inevitable, to show that the roots of this war are very deep, to show that russia, unfortunately , the nature of the war on the part of russia does not change exactly during this century, those terrible crimes that you and i are witnessing now absolutely resonate with the crimes committed by russian soldiers or soldiers of the russian empire of the pure soviet union of the red army for a whole century , why the hundred years' war, because this is actually, in my opinion, the conditional start of this war, you can call the events of the end of 1917, when

ukraine first declared in in the 20th century , they even created an autonomous but independent ukrainian people's republic for their independence, and immediately after that the war with bolshevik russia began. this war had a pause. different forms of confrontation, and now it has once again acquired a full-scale confrontation with it, and the titles are books - this is our salting, short essays about the long war. i am very pleased. by the way, the book is not only texts. i can show you the answer. and the brilliant works of one of the most talented artists of our time, whom everyone who works in social networks knows, nikita titov, who illustrated this book itself, and it seems to me that the one who will flip through this book is the one who has given a little pay attention to this text. i can better understand not only the past , but the present, and at the end, i will briefly ask, eh, it looked quite

strange when, eh, on february 20, eh, on february 23, it turned out that there are people who are still ready, if not to welcome, then at least to accept to accept congratulations on the day of the soviet army or men from it and so on and the like. and why is this ? what can these people do here to accept the thesis that this war has been going on for 100 years. how can these people accept the thesis that we have been under occupation for 100 years? you are afraid that if you see it being done publicly, then such and such people are unlikely to accept it, that is why they are more likely to expect that such people will sooner perceive the russian occupiers. how do you treat the dumpers, because after especially this last year, after this information that could not be hidden about the terrible crimes of the russian army, consider this a holiday, especially

considering that it is one of the key holidays for of the modern russian army, well, this indicates either some kind of mental health problem for these people or, after all, the fact that they do not see themselves as ukrainians, because despite the fact that they are citizens of ukraine , it is obvious that these people remain soviet people in soviet times, they are those who very easily is being reformatted from to russian citizens and so on unfortunately, well, you have to understand that there is still some part of society in and in ukraine of such a society, it is obvious that the situation of some of them is perhaps still changing and some, unfortunately, will remain like this well, but now it's not time, but now i just don't know how to destroy all kinds of myths from soviet history or from that history, or myth-making that already began to appear during the independence of ukraine, but it appeared with the blessing of russia or with the assistance of russia. for example, take

the following a holiday like shrovetide, which um, it started to appear in such a different space, i don't know, somewhere in the 2000s, and so it progressed, progressed , progressed, and at some point, i got the impression that it really was a ukrainian holiday. i don't i know was it really ukrainian? for example, i don't remember that it was celebrated in any way in our family. well, these pancakes just at some point pushed the terrible power into ukrainian cities, and here's an example : even now, the ministry of culture is on its instagram page. - with apostol, this is like a debunking, but the debunking is quite strange, because at the end they debunked themselves so much that they said that they said that the carnival was celebrated even in the days of tripillia, and the truth

is that they did not eat pancakes there, but dumplings, what can i say. you know, the ministry of culture we already have a specific bending of three fingers. i think that uh, they continue to have very specific interpretations of uh, various things , if we are serious, then it is undeniable that this is the beginning of our conversation. it was precisely about the uh, calendar reform that you were supposed to that in the end we decided and fixed what is important for us, which holidays and how we determine this also applies to this and we must understand that russia really acts on ukrainian in the ukrainian information field under various avatars, this is also soviet some kind of holiday is also a russian imperial holiday. you are like some kind of general slavic uh-uh holiday - it's like some supposedly christian holidays and so on. and really, you are absolutely right that russia is trying to cover it all with some kind of uh-uh myth about

the traditionality of these holidays i will remind you that even before 2014, in ukraine, st. george's ribbon was widely used, and the people who used it, especially during the period when yanukovych came between 2010 and 2014, were convinced and convinced others that it was a very old tradition, although in fact even in russia itself, this tradition existed at that time. it has been a tradition in russia for only a few years, since 2005. it was believed that we always wore a st. george ribbon on victory day, which is absolutely and untrue . the same applies to this shrovetide, which is presented as a revival of an ancient tradition that someone was forgotten no , it is, it is again an element in order to create some kind of common informational traditional field for us and the russians, that is, this is a small brick in this platform that sounds peaceful, in fact, absolutely killing about it

that it is supposed to be one people, but the ministry of culture and the ministry of culture itself and its minister, its head, says that we need to develop our ukrainian identity , which will be different from the russian one. that's what he says. it seems to me that the minister of culture has already ceased to be russian-speaking, but unfortunately it remains russian we are an investigative person and a lot of things he says about er mostly reflect his kind of well-being his package patriotic attitude to russian culture now it is not fashionable and now this is covered up by some often patriotic statements on his part, but if the conversation is a little deeper, if it is about, there is an opportunity to talk a little more with him, it is still clear that the person is educated and feels part of russian culture, hmm, i can still ask us something that is very interesting, dymka the opinion of volodymyr petrovych when we talk about the fact that russia should eventually cease to exist as

an empire, but what about the fact that this is an empire that actually has no historical core, that actually borrowed someone else's history, borrowed a language which was created there for church services in general, and it is not the language of any nation in essence, that is, what to do with such an empire that cannot exist outside such a mode of youth as the empire, that is, in them or in russia, in principle, is there a way to parallelization without a catastrophic because with their consequences because for us it is important because in the end this golden bridge for retreat is very definitely important when you are dealing with such a great enemy so that it is not a war to the last in the end the russians i think that russia is inevitably waiting reformatting and russia in such a format as it is now, called the russian federation, in fact, the russian empire, it will not last long, it is very important that this opinion is already starting to build, it may not dominate

, but it will build among western experts. a capable state instruction for adults the fragmentation of russia is a very correct book that actually tells about the threats facing the russian federation as the russian empire as a state that did not happen failed state - this is what russia tried to constantly impose on ukraine , but in fact the failed state is just the russian federation, which actually does not have any national word under it, russia has not become a national state, russia remains an empire, which is, well, really a modus operandi which has a constant expansion, but you see this - this expansion rests against such states as ukraine and all other states , it is obvious that this will eventually trigger serious

internal centrifugal tendencies in itself to the russian federation. i am convinced that in the future this should become one of the foundations of ukrainian international policy, that is, ukraine should be the provider of the idea that russia should be reformatted into a set of national democratic states, so far from what we can see from the comments of the leaders of western countries. well, they not interested in being russia was so fake and terribly ah ah and weakened of course remember how until july 1991 the west tried to save the soviet union which was falling apart remember george bush who i came to kyiv specifically for this purpose, concentrating ukrainians from harmful nationalism, but only a few months passed and the same george buss and the head of state were among those who recognized the independence of the ukrainian state. i think that regardless of what the west is afraid

of some kind of dispersal of the nuclear arsenal, this process is inevitable . it seems to me that the best thing that western experts and western politicians can do is to prepare this process so that it is fully controlled, otherwise it will collapse russia is really threatened by some kind of explosion, otherwise, on the ruins of the russian federation, it is not a national democracy - democratic states of various forms and divided criminal groups and so on. to be in the calendar and what should not be besides all that about his new book centenary, how is it called correctly until the end, and our century is short, short essays about the long war about the fact that the war lasts not 10 years and not a year but 100. thank you for being with us . thank you for coming this time. andriy saichuk and lesya vakulyuk worked for you
