it was very difficult. this is a very important year for you because of the dangerous threat to peace that comes from russia's invasion of ukraine, so it is extremely important that we act together, organize and have done everything possible to be able to provide the necessary support to ukraine during all this time, alternative sources of energy, solar batteries will be transferred to ukraine by the eu, said the head of the european commission , ursula von der lein, and emphasized that this is important for energy security, because the russians are deliberately hitting this infrastructure of our country with the first batch of five thousand seven hundred solar panels will be sent in the near future, such a number of panels can cover 11,000 m² of roofs of public buildings and also provide electricity to schools, hospitals and fire departments, i am convinced that other european companies as well as member states will be inspired by this first step, so ukraine

will be able to rely on clean electricity produced at home in gyms, hospitals, and not inhabited buildings. that is how, in the first months of the full-scale war , elderly immigrants were forced to live in ivano-frankivsk the two heroes of our next story, over time , volunteers helped them arrange a comfortable life. my carpathian colleagues saw how they live there now. this is halyna andriivna from severodonetsk, 78, lived through the first weeks of the war she then evacuated to the basements. she remembers that period with tears. she says she did not know where to shelter herself. later, she was lucky enough to move to ivano-frankivsk. here she ended up in a hospital , where after recovery she was asked to help the sick, and in return to have a roof over her head. over time, she met volunteers who offered better conditions to move to.

to the apartment and says that i have come to visit somewhere and it is like this now. it is already evening for me and i wonder if i can go to bed or not. the woman treats me with dumplings and tea and cries. she says that it is her happiness to live in decent conditions until the end believes i don't know i don't believe that i, well, i can't convey all the gratitude to this this gratitude that it was not to come but i was like i absolutely touch i don't know you about today screenings had a good day in the next room with mrs. halyna 90- annual bread borysovich from kharkiv when he was evacuated to frankivsk, for the first time he lived in school gymnasiums together with other immigrants , different people, different characters, the presence

of an animal tribe, these are completely ancestral vectors, after meeting with volunteers, everything changed, remembers the village they heard husband hleb borisovych came to the community assistance center of st. yedi for food, there they congratulated him on his 90th birthday, that was when the husband was celebrating his anniversary. i came for the fact that he was greeted with a cake like his own mother meets him, it moved him very much, he even cried, he did not expect this he was very glad that the volunteers decided to find a place where a man could live in peace and comfort . pensioners have been living here for four months . philanthropists regularly visit them , bring food, help communicate with lonely elderly people, and during the war, we we can see very well because of how our humanitarian center works, they have many needs to live differently, there are also such places

, this is the answer to how elite people can live more dignified in our time than unfortunately it turns out and than the war also dictates the fruit soon plans to go to kharkiv, where his shelled apartment needs repair, but soon he promises to return here to ivano-frankivsk , this city, the man says, has already become his home not only for him, but also for thousands of displaced persons who fled the war to the west of ukraine from prykarpattia ivan haruka volodymyr voloshchuk espresso program about health iryna koval raises the not simple sensitive topic of cannabis for ukraine so be with espresso and i'm telling you see you at 11:00 i feel chained to the chair, everything

back and became heroes, the novel was, is and will always be ukraine about unbreakable cities of ukraine from the ukraine project in the documentary cycle de-occupation that on saturdays at 11:10 a.m. on espresso every week saturday political club helps to understand processes taking place in ukraine and the world vitaliy portnikov host of espresso and invitation experts based on facts give their assessment and forecast of the development of events want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow see the saturday political club that saturdays are not espresso about its effectiveness and need for quickly gained 25 thousand signatures necessary for it to be considered by the committee of the verkhovna rada and further development

of the draft law took place. it is now 2023 and we are again talking about the fact that drugs based on it are an effective pain reliever and there are those who in the literal sense of the word, one cannot live normally without it, before the full-scale invasion, more than 2 million people in our country needed medical cannabis, now this figure is not relevant, doctors say, according to preliminary estimates of the ministry of health of ukraine, about 4 million people will need drug treatment for ptsd as a result of the war, that is why doctors are waiting for when this issue will be resolved at the legislative level and medical cannabis will be allowed. i congratulate you, i'm iryna koval, and this is a program about health. as you probably already guessed, today we will to talk about medical cannabis, we will find out at what stage the initiative to use cannabis

for medical, scientific and industrial purposes is currently, what is medical cannabis, can it help? finally, it will be possible to prescribe , buy, store and use medicines based on medical cannabis, and now we are in touch with olga stefanyshina, a people's deputy, a member of the verkhovna rada committee on health the nation of medical care and medical insurance, an expert in the field of protecting patients' rights olya, i congratulate you good morning olya well, in fact, the bill that regulates the use of cannabis in ukraine is being talked about a lot now. to hear in person their opinion about medical cannabis instead i heard their concerns

about this bill what were the problems and were they really solved and what exactly is the concern well, first of all, thank you you are raising this topic because it is these programs and public coverage of this topic that helps us parliamentarians to convince us in the parliament that the medical channel is very necessary today in ukraine ah regarding the draft law now the verkhovna rada actually has the third draft of the law, the second in our term , in the previous one, there was one that could finally legalize medical cannabis in ukraine, this bill is the government's. that is, it was introduced by the government

of ukraine, which already increases its chances of adoption because as we know today there is a monomajority in the verkhovna rada and in fact this draft law may be the one that will finally be supported by the parliament we hope it will happen in the near future and what does this draft law allow it allows patients to use medicine based on medical cannabis with a doctor's prescription this is the first the second it allows doctors to actually prescribe such drugs and help patients a-a with oncological diseases, alzheimer's diseases, with various e-e neurological diseases, including alleviating the condition of ptsd that you are talking about talked about and which are really in ukraine today well, this topic is very relevant that it also allows our scientists to research this plant well, and to produce medicine on the territory of ukraine, to grow raw materials and actually

make medicine with it, this comprehensive bill allows all these things of course, everyone can have questions about the text of the draft law, that's normal, uh, i also have a few comments that i'm going to make between the first and second reading, because, for example, uh, this bill for some reason prohibits the import of raw materials from abroad for production of medical cannabis, of course i understand that there are arguments that it is necessary to motivate the national producer to produce medicines here, but i am sure that the process of producing such medicines will not start immediately, so i will make amendments so that it is possible to produce both raw materials that are grown and made in ukraine and raw materials that will be transported from -abroad, well, this is one of those key amendments that made

it possible for patients to use these drugs as soon as possible after the heating of this draft law . i know that there are still questions, this is no longer for doctors, but for activists who have been dealing with this topic for a long time regarding the fact that today the medical channel is currently in the list of prohibited substances, which is clear. because the law has not yet been adopted, the regular cabinet of ministers could transfer this substance from the prohibited substances to the list of substances that can be used . in ukraine, but for this we need to pass a law, they are asking us to directly oblige the cabinet of ministers to do this in the law, and i am ready to make these amendments between the first and second readings although i want to believe that well, this is the first step when in

in the first reading, they support this draft law. the government will give everyone an understanding that there is a political will in ukraine for those medicines to be available today, that's why i really, really root for him to come out in the hall , he was supported, and we're all kind of already we will try to settle between the first and second readings, now the draft law is already supported by our committee, by the way, we made some more amendments to it, uh, they are very important and it has become better, so i hope that in march we will finally get to the point where still support it in the first reading ms. olya, i still want a few questions that i will ask you in order to clarify this situation, will this medical cannabis be grown in ukraine or will it be imported, and who and how will control this process if we are talking about exactly what is written in the draft law, the law currently says that in ukraine it will be possible to grow and produce elbows based on

medical cannabis, but there is a ban on the import of raw materials from abroad for 10 years , that is, in this way, authorism draft law i wanted to motivate the national manufacturer to produce and, er, grow raw materials for the production of medicines here. i think that this is a bad initiative and it should be canceled between the first and second reading, because today we are talking about patients and the more raw materials there are abroad in ukraine, the more opportunities the patient will receive these drugs and er they will still be the price so we will introduce this amendment between the first second reading this process will be controlled at each stage because after all it is cannabis and it has

therefore, the cultivation process will also be controlled there, special licensing conditions will be written out about how to organize these greenhouses, how to control them, of course , the national police will be able to control every process at every stage , even if we talk about the plants themselves, they will also have a corresponding e- e control in electronic form, that is, every bush will be accounted for, that is, this system will of course have to be built, but in the law, all these fuses are prescribed, this is for those who are worried about what it will be - an unregulated process, yes it won't be, it will be controlled well, of course, at the stage of contact with the patient, it will be a doctor's prescription in electronic form, that is , all this information will be clearly regulated and controlled by law enforcement agencies of the ministry of health olya, i understand why they did not adopt the law to deal with it is not possible to develop drugs. but maybe you already know if there are. these

are the institutes and scientific institutions that are already ready to do this. and maybe they are preparing for it . well , we, in any case, do not have such institutions. because there are also people who are passionate about this topic and doctors with whom you spoke, for example. and really, because ukraine is, first of all, an agrarian country, and secondly, we have a lot of such bright heads, so to speak , that's why i i am sure that in ukraine it will be such a breakthrough, where we will give the opportunity to grow medicines, grow raw materials for such medicines, and give the opportunity to make discoveries, because this plant has many more properties, i think, hidden from the names of their properties, which may soon

be discovered precisely in olya to ukraine well, here we are we have been talking about this for a very long time, and this process has been going on for six years, and i want to ask you how long the process will take from the moment the draft law is adopted . it may take up to six months to develop all the by-laws and it will be possible to import medicine because now it is not even possible to grow or produce even just medicine abroad. and i just want to to remind that the medical channel is legalized in almost 60 countries of the world, including in almost all the countries of the european union , that is, from these countries we cannot even import medicine, it is prohibited because as soon as the law is passed, the first thing it will do is allow it

to be imported the medicines are just ready and there will be access because now people just carry them in their suitcases and buy them illegally, in fact they start medicines because they are needed and they have to break the law correctly in order to save themselves so it’s been six months somewhere i think the ministry of health and the cabinet of ministers will regulate this process at the level of by-laws after the adoption of laws, and in principle it will be possible to import. how long it will take to set up production, i cannot say for sure, but i think that it will not be a quick process, because it is necessary organize it, organize these greenhouses , purchase equipment for control , grow, produce, and that is why i urge my colleagues not to speculate on the topic of the national producer, after all, to allow the import of raw materials from abroad, at least the first time for

so that in ukraine it would be possible from this raw material, our ukrainian companies could already produce these drugs to give maximum opportunities for access to drugs for our patients kolya , well, a literally short question, what is your personal point of view regarding the initiative to legalize medical cannabis, my personal point of view has been known for a long time i was the first deputy who introduced this draft law a few years ago in the ukrainian parliament, first of all , it was my initiative to raise this topic in the ukrainian parliament. unfortunately for us then in the summer of 2021, there were not enough votes, and of course i support this bill very much because i believe that ukraine should take this step and give our patients the opportunity for a dignified life because it primarily improves life, reduces pain, reduces anxiety , reduces stress and e-

it makes it possible for people to live more or less normally in these difficult times, that's why i really support and hope for the support of my colleagues in the parliament olya. well, i thank you for agreeing to talk with us today, and i personally thank you in general for everything that you what do you do during the war and what do you do? i was very glad to see and hear you , and glory to ukraine, and it was with us that you were in touch. in the field of patient rights protection, and our next story will be about people for whom medical cannabis is not a whim, but a necessity, so in our country there are those who use it and get it in all possible ways. what is the substance given

to patients, let's see further in the story. i have this is the experience of consuming medical cannabis. i am an oncology patient with 5 years of experience. svetlana was diagnosed with cancer in the second stage. the treatment was useless. now the woman has the fourth stage of cancer . it is possible to live with it all her life if it were not for the unbearable pain, such pain. why can’t you sleep? why are you standing ? you can't lie down, you can't and so on , when you take cannabis oil, uh, all the muscles relax and the body is calm , you can just relax in many countries of the world, the use of medical marijuana and drugs based on it has become a normal practice in ukraine , but the plant is included in the list of narcotic and psychotropic substances and is prohibited, therefore our doctors are forced to look for an alternative for patients suffering from chronic pain and other disorders in ukraine , they replace it, i.e., they replace it with a simple one, or they don’t try it at the same time other drugs are either anticonvulsants or drugs that reduce pain, but the second thing is that

cannabis drugs show the best profile , that is, there is less addiction , according to doctors, there is no main substance in medical cannabis psychotropic effect, however, it helps to overcome, for example, lack of appetite, nausea and insomnia. this is also confirmed by valentina , she has her own difficult history of fighting cancer, radiation , and very strong stomatitis, i can't eat anything . valentina underwent toxic chemotherapy, she had pulmonary thrombosis and a gastrostomy with the following consequences of oncology treatment. the woman was discharged from the hospital 3 years ago. conventional painkillers did not work

. valentina saved herself from the pain as best she could. the second drug, then the third, depressants, antidepressants, but well, it’s practically drugs, now there is an addiction, it seemed that there was no longer any prospects , relatives came to the rescue , they brought oil from spain, which was in trouble, and began to drink slowly, slowly , especially, it did not sell the meaning, but gradually it did not start to appear, they left me at all pain in the mouth, there are three steps in the ukrainian analgesia protocol, but there is not a word about medical cannabis; at the last stage , it is recommended to prescribe morphine. well, i have a certain stereotype that morphine is the last er the last step from life, yes, or if morphine is prescribed, the patient will die quickly, or the patient himself is afraid of these drugs because he is afraid of addiction, afraid of certain side effects, and that is why they choose kana s because it is more of a plant, it is more of a medical
