[000:00:00;00] well, it is necessary to examine the president's companies can return to ukraine and rebuild ukraine together with japanese companies, the panel is possible. someone is looking at where to contact , call, come. who is ready to go to japan to receive experience and through me, then keep in touch. because our guests have to go next week, so come back to japan, but you can also keep in touch through the ukrainian-japanese center of the national university of lviv polytechnic, this is profesorska street 1, office number 8 and how go there and i think you will be helped by pv. in general, you communicate with our japanese partners . how important is the asian world to us? it is different and it is not always on the side of ukraine. let's say that by and large

, but japan is also our outpost of our support in asia . world , how important it is for us ukrainians to communicate with our japanese partners in order to spread true information through japan throughout the asian world in order to incline the asian world to the side of good and it is important to explain that in every war there is clearly an aggressor, an aggressor, and a victim, and there can be no other positions in order for this narrative to spread through our japanese partners to the entire asian world, and you see here that it is very important for us because, as you are right noted the asian world . it is very specific, and in order to understand it, it is necessary, as they say , to eat more than one pound of salt, as we will eat more than one, so in a word

, our embassy in tokyo and headed by the ambassador mr. serhii sumy, who often appears on television and on our channel, and he was also on your channel. in my opinion, he is the best ambassador of all those who were in japan before that. from ukraine. so, honestly , i will tell you that er, this is an extremely important question because japan is the undisputed leader in this world, er, in asia , yes. although the chinese are currently competing with china, if they were to push the world, yes, it would be the same, but japan is an extremely important country that can become well, let's say so a springboard for ukraine to expand their influence in asia in general, because they are now working very hard to improve relations with asian countries, and in this way, using these japanese channels, you can

reach other asian countries. for the japanese , the topic of territorial integrity is very important, as well as for ukraine, since japan has relations with russia too. common territories are the northern islands that russia considers its own , but in fact they are occupied by russia, japan , ukraine has common territories that are not disputed. it has territories occupied by russian troops we can talk about the common problems of japan and ukraine regarding the achievement of territorial integrity regarding the return of their territories under, well, under the power under the protectorate in japan and

ukraine, respectively , and other flowers should grow, that is, if we compare with this way, then we can combine and compare and different personalities the thing is water and with this water for everyone and for flowers and for other seeds and for people this water is love this water is harmony and that is why due to the amount of water that a-a absorbs every flower depends on its absence and its beauty. that is, every flower is different in a different way. it is precisely the uniqueness of the culture of japan in order to flourish. we need other resources. if we are talking about lviv

, lviv has always been welcoming. you have always been such a city . let us share and convey how japan managed to recover and flourish economically , first of all, this powerful country after the second world war was partially destroyed as a result of nuclear attacks, but today it is one of the leading economies of the world. we can also compare a lot of efforts actually aimed at the restoration of the guest fronts, any help from other countries of any kind was provided, and after such

a technological cultural war, ukraine also received a lot of help from various but also from various technological moments , it will be possible also to involve in the restoration of ukraine, mr. oko revealed the possibilities. we spoke with yaroslav hrytsak, in our well-known historian and philosopher, they showed this interview. he said that war is, of course , big mountains and a big trouble for every country for every society, for every person, but it is also a great opportunity during the post-war period, especially a huge window of opportunity opens that was not open before the war, we feel the importance now, at this moment, which is critical for our country . after the second world war, or we can simply stay on the sidelines of europe and have our freedom, of course. i believe that now this

is really opening up opportunities that did not exist before, that is, before the japanese, yes, if not very if they would gladly welcome the representatives of the post-soviet space to their country, it was not so easy to get a job there , so now they help us with everything, and if they would simplify it, as japan went to unprecedented things, if they would even allow our refugees to take their family members with them pets, that is, if before, no one was allowed at all, so now, as mr. oko already said, now there is a possibility that after the war, together with foreign companies, japanese business will come to us, and thus now there is this chance to war to prepare personnel so that these japanese companies have, as they say, professional employees of their employees who are ready to work in these companies and who are familiar with

the realities of both japan and ukraine. well, we are now taking full advantage of the opportunities for technological scientific growth and jump and which open up to us in connection with the crisis . i think that we are trying with all our might to do this, that is, i don't know how well we can do it. gives it definitely let's take our military for example who master unfamiliar equipment yes, much faster than if it were calculated by nato standards yes, i think that ukrainians are capable of everything and of learning, first of all, the eye well, tell us more about pets , it is interesting i do. when i read that japan is one of the missions for you, this it is the shelter of ukrainian animals that remained, and what kind of homeless people are these some special programs specifically for

animals you have animals oo good question , you er-e we visited different shelters for the animal world so we understand that they now they need help and care, such difficult times and we actually also want to support, in particular, the shelters of such animals in ukraine why are you doing this experience i once had

a dog a-a-a-alama a-a dog sensed my mood so he could not speak but we had such a certain internal communication and in fact it is very important to have such a connection and in fact i know that many people have a year different such attitude but a very special attitude with the people at home that i myself come from irpen and this mr. romanivsky through which it was people who transported the animals, first of all, they evacuated, and they evacuated a huge number of animals from irpen, on which the russians were roaming, and these photos are of interest, and dogs and cats and some shelters simply came across the river , it was just a whole special operation in order to evacuate it, which is another proof that the ukrainians are all well, people are not indifferent not only to human affairs, that is, to human fate, but also to the fate

of their animals, and what struck you most personally in ukraine, so you came to ukraine. what is the greatest impression, pleasant and maybe unpleasant

from ukraine, you now have extremely diverse lviv i already said lviv where different cultures, different nationalities, collective and individual culture are intertwined and that is why i think that this is exactly what is wonderful about this place in my opinion lviv lviv , on the other hand, has a soul, a spirit something like this happens in each specific city indeed, there is a different culture, yuriy, in terms of culture, some opportunities for ukrainians have appeared in connection with your and our deepening of cooperation. i

mean for our artists or ballet. so why do i want to? i will say that according to the data of 2017, japan is in the first place in the world in terms of the number of people who practice ballet. yes, it would not seem exactly true, but it is really there if ballet is practiced by adults and children, and well, not all of them are professionals, as if we wanted to admit, but there are those who are also interested. they really, really want it to be held, some master classes , some seminars, some maybe ballet meetings, there were some schools, maybe online ballet courses, so on and so on. and of course, tours and when we they talked about the touring of the lviv troupe for example, in japan, we talked about the fact that kyiv usually only goes on tour. yes, but the lviv ballet school. it has its

highlight, how to say. and, actually, it consists in the fact that it is more our school is so sensual, as the director of our opera, mr. vasyl vovklun, said , sensual and very, very kind, as if the ukrainian ballet would say, tomorrow there will be an opportunity to see the performances of ukrainian dances, to dance the ukrainian ballet, in particular , the possibility of cooperation, the possibility of trips to japan and performances there, and it was already said in 2017

in fact, japan has the largest community that dances ballet in the world , in fact , and tell me, please, about the current conditions for ukrainians. i don't like the word refugees. i say yes to guests. japan gladly accepted us for that. i will correct what japan provides, what opportunities and conditions for ukrainians, and now many people are saying that from the ukrainians, is japan still ready to receive guests from ukraine

, of course , of course, japan. for them this is the moment people ukraine people this historical moment of ready for ukrainians this is what i wish ukrainians now ukraine okay okay you are actually our downfalls but after that we can jump very high in order to jump high first of all we need to bend down

as low as possible to gain strength and then take the leap thank you thank you historical moment what we were talking about is not necessary, it is worth taking advantage of it and how should we not miss it, but we, for our part , as a ukrainian japanese center in yours we are doing everything possible to ensure that these connections we only got stronger like this and we are trying, as they say, not to miss any opportunity to cooperate with japan, so i think that this will be our work to continue with the association for peace in the world e-e under the united nations and directly with mr. okku and his colleagues at work, as we will continue to be in close contact thank you thank you ihor zoriy, head of the ukrainian-japanese center of the lviv polytechnic and eye ken and chiro , a diplomat of the diplomatic corps

of the european union, an envoy of the association for peace in the world at the un thank you agitator thank you thank you well, since march 2020, the first confirmed case of the 2019 coronavirus disease was announced in ukraine, such a date is not a fun one for us, the war slightly overshadowed the coronavirus, but we remember that how it began, how the country was experiencing a pandemic, we have a plot let's watch together on march 3 , 2020, the first case of the coronavirus was officially recorded in ukraine. at that time, the situation in the country was already tense. in february, the authorities evacuated ukrainians from the chinese city of wuhan and placed them in quarantine in the village of novi sanzhary in the poltava region, local residents protested and clashed with the police. on march 12, the government introduced a nationwide quarantine, which formally continues and is still closed

. city borders began to be closed . theaters, museums, gyms , restaurants and nightclubs stopped working . toilet paper disappeared from many shops. remember that buckwheat matches and toilet paper do not save from coronavirus strengthened, ukrainians learned the english word lockdown, they were forbidden to visit parks, squares, sports and playgrounds, and to walk in the street more than two at a time, education in schools went online take care, stay at home later, the chief sanitary doctor viktor lyashko admits that part of the bans , in particular, were introduced for walks in parks to scare ukrainians and force them not to leave their homes, closing parks, there is no feeling that everything is safe, medical masks

became commonplace at the beginning of their disastrous it was not enough in the first weeks they were going for export to europe and a widely advertised batch was brought to ukraine by plane, a dream as if a humanitarian appeared on the counters of a private retail network at the same time. in the absence of masks in a public place, fines were introduced, the application of such a fine will be quick because the fine will be imposed by a police officer or a representative of the state consumer service immediately on the spot in the first two years, ukraine experienced four waves of the coronavirus, the most difficult was the fall of 2021 , when the aggressive delta stamp came the number of hospitalizations increased sharply, hospitals were on the verge of collapse despite this, such restrictions as at the beginning were no longer introduced in order not to harm the ukrainian economy even more , instead, milder forms of quarantine were in effect. we entered quarantine in time and will leave it in time in april 2021

the first batch of the chinese vaccine against covid , the first persons of the state gave an injection on camera to convince ukrainians of the safety of the vaccination, however, not everyone believed that is why the vaccination certificate was made almost the most important the stock without it was not allowed into public places and even the trains began to falsify the document massively when the country recovered from the fourth wave and was preparing for the fifth full-scale war came to ukraine already in may 2022 in ukraine the quarantine rules were relaxed, for example the mask regime ceased to be mandatory for according to official statistics and at the beginning of the pandemic , more than 111,000 ukrainians died from the coronavirus, epidemiologists are sure that the real figure is much higher , our broadcast continues yehor chichyrinda and hanna valevska with you we share impressions from

of our japanese guests guests of the guests, you and i learned at least one word in japanese arigato today - it's thank you. yes, and congratulations. i also wrote down konicheva's name. to go to japan and gain experience there and return to ukraine without fail with our mykola in september. he said that if a person there knows at least 100 japanese words, then he is incredibly popular among japanese women and men my name is strategic research, i will talk to oleksiy ezhyak, an analyst at the national institute of strategic studies, mr. oleksiy, i welcome you, we welcome you, let's continue this topic with you, which

we started with our japanese guests, we have a lot of common problems with the japanese, no wonder. well, at least territorial and problems with the restoration of our integrity if we have crimea, donbass, part of the zaporozhian kherson regions. unfortunately, for the japanese , these are the northern islands. this question in relation to other issues in the asian world, because the asian world is heterogeneous and it does not always understand who is terrible in this war , who is the devil, and who is the victim, who is the aggressor, and who is the victim? i understand that the ambassador of ukraine in japan does a lot of things in general, so yes, yes, it is already there . five years ago, there were such fears that

russia would buy japan's loyalty by giving them two of these four islands there, japan would seem to change its position towards ukraine, but this did not happen. japan supports the joint position of the g7. it supports the position of ukraine in general in the world in the eastern hemisphere, just like australia. japan is our such significant partner, and increasingly japan's position is becoming more and more pronounced such that it is possible to say confident and confident, so i don't think that there may be a problem here, but regarding the window of opportunity, the sixth window opens for us for japan, it also opens after the defeat of russia, obviously which will sooner or later actually be better than late regarding the restoration of its territorial integrity for the japanese, this is also an opportunity, please. this is how it opens. simply no one knows how it will be. if ukraine wins and restores its territorial integrity, it

means that no russian red lines are working, the only thing there is japan has its own restrictions that they have just begun to remove from themselves, that they are exclusively a country with a defense policy and are protected by the united states, but they are changing it, becoming more offensive , but they changed it for crimea. as far as i i understand only last year in relation to such a more aggressive military policy, they finance a lot of things in the world, many peace operations conducted by the united states , they are in the eastern hemisphere, but they have never taken such direct participation, so i think this is a window of opportunity for them, it remains to be seen how they will take advantage of these opportunities will it be such an offensive position? will they try to resolve it diplomatically and force

russia to leave these four islands ? english when we asked him, is it important? this is a complicated translation about china. i want to ask you another question because the head of our intelligence said that now there are no signs that china is supplying russia with weapons, but what happened the day before 20 china russia both refused to sign a statement demanding the withdrawal of russian troops from the territory of ukraine . well, there was also information that russia supplies china with uranium for the production of weapons-grade plutonium . china's position and its willingness to still supply russia with weapons. how do you assess this? now i still estimate that the probability is so low that what the cia says about it and what it says, well , the specialties of the united states have developed there, they say that they also do not see a sign that

lethal weapons are being transferred, but they are sure that it is the issue is being discussed, but it is necessary to understand that it is not that they have made a decision or are going to make a decision by a certain time, but this issue is being discussed and it worries our partners. indeed, if we speak logically and politically, china has no interest in supplying weapons to russia because china is already competing for the future world and in this future world it is trying to present itself as a more peaceful country than the united states and therefore they are not interested in any direct participation in this war, but on the other hand , such an important aspect was really revealed here that these supplies of uranium, it is necessary to say that it is wrong to say whether this is a supply for the production of nuclear weapons, this is a supply for one

part of the nuclear, well, nuclear energy of russia's civil energy sector, if you explain it briefly, in general, kazakhstan supplies uranium for kazakhstan, for china, kazakhstan is more of a uranium miner, and then this uranium is processed for civilian industry , but there is a small project there that is being promoted, uh, russia is advancing a well-known project their reactors , breeders, fast neutron reactors . they have their advantages. but not all countries support it. well, countries like russia and france are considered promising . the united states is considered dangerous because that in tachyrs there is an increased risk of diversion of diversion of fuel for the production of armed plutons there really it can be created more easily and you want from the fact that china has announced its intention to dramatically

increase the number of nuclear arsenals in order to rise with russia in the united states by the 30th year here arises the question is whether there will be a diversion of this fuel supplied for these characters on fast neutrons or whether it will not be diverted to create nuclear weapons and then there really is such an element that if anything russia can push china to get involved in this war with more victory, that is, precisely with such projects as assistance in the nuclear program, because this is the only thing in which russia still has priority . we still have a minute to talk about iran and nuclear weapons, right? i understand that iran is just a few weeks away from announcing its nuclear bomb, which it is obviously creating at this moment. and how can this influence affect

the world's support for ukraine, because there conflict with israel, israel, for sure, it will be a shock for him. if this announcement happens, is iran an ally of russia and this axis, iran , russia, belarus, china, how much will it affect world support for ukraine ? the nuclear program is early, it brings us closer to israel, it brings us closer together, but in this specific question it answers directly to your question. the amount of uranium nuclear material, but it is not known whether iran has resumed its own program to create nuclear weapons, this is a little different, but if there is a 10th amount of nuclear material, then at any moment you can simply cancel the bans and quickly create nuclear weapons
