[000:00:00;00] it is already now, see how much there is at that time, i understood when at the end of january there was a conversation about the return of russians and belarusians, then already in february, in february, we expected that somewhere in the middle of february there could be an executive committee of the international sand committees regarding the return , there was a non-return, and if you return, under what conditions and you see that the executive committee has been appointed somewhere at the end of march, that is, thanking everyone who joined the process and ukrainian athletes and the president of ukraine and all our federations and all our international partners federations and the olympic committee and the minister of sports of other countries who united and now when

they presented their opinion, i feel that it was a plus that the international olympic committee began to think a little about this issue that they raised and they as far as i understand, until the end of march, that is, until the end of march, that is, until the end of march, i feel that there will be no discussion , the international olympic committee is making some statements, we read that a few days ago a statement was issued for another year of the war, which we supported ukraine, together with ukraine, we will support ukrainian athletes. well, that is, we are in solidarity with the ukrainian people, with ukrainian athletes, we will provide all of them there, if necessary, and financial assistance for our ukrainian athletes to prepare for the summer olympic games, for the winter olympic games, well, that is, such statements there was a statement when i was still there a month ago

that we were ready to boycott the olympic games there because the statement of the international olympic committee that this is a violation of the charter that this is impossible and that's all and when in 2008 in 2014, russia started a war in georgia during the olympic games. and when russia occupied crimea in 2014 and occupied the donetsk and luhansk regions. and when in 2022, during the start of the paralympic games, russia started a full-scale war, this is not a violation of the charter , this is not a violation of the olympic truce. there are some double standards, hmok well, yes , and where. that is, we say that we are for peace. as the president of the international nepod committee says. we are in solidarity with ukraine. we are for peace. we need

to unite, unite for what? for the sake of peace, what kind of peace can there be when our athletes are dying, when there is a genocide of the ukrainian people, well, you understand, well, such double standards, violation of the olympic truce , violations, this is not a violation of the charter, a violation of the charter, so i do not understand at all why the international psycho-committee raises the question at such a time and we all believe that as long as there is a war there is no place for a russian athlete on the international stage on the international olympic committee, at the same time he also says that he is helping ukraine a lot there is a background of solidarity with ukraine whether or not it is possible we should give it up so that it doesn't look like you know that they are buying us with this fund for games and you know my thoughts. i also wanted to tell you that last year we received help from the solidarity fund for our athletes. well, we

also it's been a year so far, well, there are no action recommendations, now the international olympic committee has also offered us money to support our athletes and that's it. until this issue regarding the admission of this admission is resolved, we will not move this fund. we will take money from this fund for the training of our athlete, because as you mentioned it, this is also my opinion and only mine, and everyone who understands the question. so that it does not happen that we are given money and we are already satisfied and we are already ready to admit everyone no i'm sure i'm sure if it's about money i'm sure that the president of the country volodymyr zelensky and prime minister denys shmagal all the entire government will provide our athletes with as much money as they need to prepare for the lift, there would be no russian

athletes in the international area, that is now, if i understand you correctly, there is this fund, but we do not use it. well, at the beginning of the year, the budget included funds for the training of our team members, and for us today, it is not possible for our national teams that are preparing for the olympic games to travel to training camps and receive participation in all competitions is enough, that is, now it turns out that we are financed either from the state budget or from separate funds of international federations, if they exist. us and how he supports me, i want to personally thank tomas bach and the entire international olympic committee executive committee. we have not seen russian belarusian athletes for a year.

for novorossiysk athletes, then of course we will be together and the consulate will come to an agreement, if not, you know there , well, we will continue to fight, we will continue to fight, i do not rule out that our the olympic family will be decided by me personally, my personal vision . i have already said many times that i believe that this is the price of the lives of people whom we have lost and, unfortunately, will still lose during the war. it is big and it is not worth it. it is the price of a medal or the olympic games. for me, people's lives are the most valuable thing that can be, that's why my personal vision should be boycotted, but i will not make a decision personally , our olympic committee will make a decision on an extraordinary basis, these were from the presidents of all our olympic federations, famous athletes those

who are members of the national olympic committee, that's why we will be happy together later. it is very important to make this. this is a very serious decision, it is such a political decision, and we will make this decision together, and when i announced it a month ago, but i already told you that how did the international olympic committee react committee that is, we will violate kharkiv and those who start, they do not violate kharkiv well, as i understand it, it turns out that so you by the way, you said that this will be a political decision and in one of your interviews back in september 21, very it's great that it was featured, well, it's important because i've had cases when we didn't ask what the name of the olympic champion is in sports, but what kind of sport the festival is actually in. and what year are you in 1992 and in one of the interviews? in september of the 21st year, you said that you remember what it says on your passport, i still remember it. now , on the contrary, in recent interviews, you express the opinion that

there was sleep in politics, there was peace in the 21st year. peace, listen to the webinar, she started it in the 14th year , you want to catch me, well, look ottar started in the 14th year, but in the charter of the international olympic committee, this is written, after all, sport is outside of politics, and that is how we lived in alcohol, neutral to politics . thank you for confirming this, and we lived like that, but not at the time when now is happening now, i have already said several times, people are dying, ordinary people are dying, our soldiers who defend our ukraine are being bombed, cities are being bombed, rockets are flying every day, almost every day we have an air raid alert now we are in politics now

we are all in our place, we are fighting our independence we choose our victory that is why there is no such police force now we are fighting for victory and we are in politics the world champion in biathlon ukrainian biathlon dmytro pidruchny told us in a comment in a public comment that if the russians return to such an international sport, it will be a defeat for the whole world sports, in your opinion, will it not be a defeat for you too? if, after all, we do not manage to save this recommendation , it will be a personal defeat for me. our common defeat is ours will be a common defeat. if you want me to say that i am my defeat, listen. i am a very strong person, believe me, i can apologize publicly if i am wrong, i can be when i am

vaccinated, i can go alone against 1000 ago that i am sure that i am right, so if it is necessary for it to be my defeat and i , as a minister and as the president of the national olympic committee and no longer the president of the fencing federation, then i will do everything possible from me and the robot, yes , all of us, i already said the athletes of the federation, all our partners, but unfortunately there are a lot of things, for example, so that you understand that the asian continent supports the return of russian and belarusian athletes, the african continent supports the return of russian and belarusian athletes, ah well, of course , the latin american continent also supports this very, very difficult issue, but if it has already been postponed by the executive committee, then already we have taken some steps, we need to continue working, not only giving advice, not only there, writing in

social networks there and waiting to see what the good site will do, everyone needs to work, everyone because the advice is all things at home with the phone and writing. i give advice to hussite on how to do it very well, everyone needs to work. and i give advice to everyone, everyone, everyone who is in sports, what to do, difficult working conditions, but three years . now it will be march 4, that we work as the president of the olympic committee i already have three positions there, i am also doing it, everything is possible, that is why i am very pleased that the presidents of the federation of our olympic family have elected me and trusted me, so i want to thank everyone and i will work in the future or as the president, well, the president of the business. i will already be to work for me for four years, i chose if i resign from my position, which i already said over time that i will resign from my position, i will not forgive for two positions , but they do not specify when, well, it needs to be decided by the verkhovna rada. i am not

elected as the president of the olympic the committee that he can now resign at his own will and then they will vote or then i will be fired and while i am working as a minister and while i am working as the president of national security and i am doing everything possible, i understand. thank you, mr. vadim, and thank you for finding us time and for this conversation, thank you if we are going to fight, our children protect theirs this year, the year of the car is with you, we saw how ordinary people become extraordinary heroes, how the hells of battle are born, new ukraine, the ukraine that you protect, our native friends, neighbors, colleagues

, you were not always in the military, but you have always been ukrainians, you are our pride and our hope , this year we defended thanks to you a year of indomitability together to victory a smile, a glance , acquaintance, the first flowers and silly jokes in my head, i scroll again these minutes, hours and days we haven't met you for a long time, we learned to read minds, how i just want to hug these minutes, hours and days , i just want to say i love the whole universe

- it's you, son, daughter, mother, hug, i love, and that's why in the war, call the blood center in your city to find out about the need or register with us on the platforms donor.ua or helsi.me and plan to the nation already today how many victims there are 1382 people who lost people in the territory of the region and 376 are the numbers i am now commenting on them wounded since february 24 for every one of these people, i understand that the occupier will not just be responsible, it will be more than one generation. they have such

a responsibility, and we certainly do not include these numbers in these numbers of the victims of mariupol and the victims of volnovakha, and after the deoccupation of these cities and districts , these numbers will increase by tens upon tens thousands of residents, this is a fact, and we must understand it. we will always live with the memory of the dead, of the fallen heroes, of the local population, of all those who made efforts and continue to make efforts for the sake of our common victory during this period of the full-scale invasion, 86,000 or 870 buildings were destroyed or damaged. these are the private sector and

apartment buildings, 5,395 apartment buildings and the private residential sector, 81,475, respectively. and here are the same damaged or destroyed water drainage facilities, water supply facilities, 63 boiler houses of the largest utility company of the donetsk company teplokomunenergo 20 bridges 400 almost 450 km of gas pipelines but despite all this, key communities of the region have gas supply in key communities for me every community is key why i am explaining this phrase in this way is because the key communities that currently have the largest population of people to which we are evacuating not only outside the region and as internally displaced

persons to these communities of the vpu people within the region and in these communities are provided with gas supply e-e almost to all and the territory of the region, even in the front-line settlements where it is possible, the power supply is functioning and the power supply is restored in a systematic way. thank you always. thank you to our brave energy workers and we continue to work on our front it is clearly and coherently concentrating its efforts on fortification, on strengthening all the borders in the lines of their not one, not two defenses, to move around the region, to meet in various cities of the region, which is currently with a huge mass of russian aggression and

their forces and means of living forces that are literally used as cannon fodder, this is the control of almost 50% of the territory of the region as of now, despite the fact that mariupol is temporarily occupied, mariupol district , most of the volnova district, this is the occupied territories because they are practically completely destroyed, if we continue the destruction as it happened, then of course they suffered enormous destruction, which is what happened. these are vocational and technical institutions, these are medical institutions. in total, only 720 institutions of preschool general secondary higher education

were damaged or destroyed, if the brother was destroyed, then 317 schools in the region suffered full of complete or partial destruction complete destruction - this is well, i visualize it and clearly understand what it looks like, it is where renewal is impossible, but only the construction of a new institution of such, currently in the region there are 31 schools, 8 higher educational institutions are completely destroyed , four vocational and technical institutions and 10 institutions extracurricular activities are completely destroyed, which you and i will definitely have to restore at the time of the full-scale invasion, the figure of the real living population of the region reached one million 670,000 people

what was the maximum effect of the evacuation, i always say this because everything happened in front of my eyes with the participation of the entire team of the regional military administration, district administrations, local administrations of local self-government bodies , the evacuation was clear and coordinated from february 24, 2022 , practically the maximum effect was achieved , this is 340 000 practically for july 2022 so i calculated and reasoned one of the worst case scenarios the name of the heating court of the season 22-23 is uh no gas supply with the crazy

electricity supply interruptions and well, i am also proud of everyone who contributed to the e-e team and the managers of the energetics, the utility companies, we are going through the heating season with gas supply in the communities where they live , people who are relatively far from the front line continue to live, these are 10 territorial communities in 10 territorial communities partially restored there was gas supply and now 12 communities are near-frontline territorial communities that are practically impossible to provide gas supply and in which there are already many plus moments of fierce fighting in communities on the front line electricity supply, its restoration takes place for a very short period of time, because the enemy is one of his targets , not only the civilian population, but their infrastructure , therefore, the restoration of gas supply and both internal generation and transit of electricity are objective factors. well,

of course, each person has his own subjective positive factors caused the return of people and now , even in winter, we observe about 520,000 residents of the donetsk region who currently live, while only 17 places of accommodation are functioning in our country of internally displaced persons who are inside the region, that is, those who do not have, and i emphasize that mandatory evacuation is ongoing in our country, the issue of forced evacuation is absent as such, both in the legal sphere and, er, it deprives people of the opportunity to forcibly remove their children and their parents, therefore they were such options, they are also used where people from front-line settlements or directly located on the front line can directly move

to the interior of the region, they can move to more remote communities, the humanitarian component in the region there is one that is completely, i can say completely, under the control of the executive authorities in the region, the local self-government bodies and the leadership in the cities, of course, it was impossible without the participation of our international partners , who constantly provide support. i always thank you, thank you for that really important help that not only saved the lives of many people, but also helps to live, i will say directly, and survive in such extremely difficult conditions, this is humanitarian

aid, this is also construction aid materials, especially over the de-occupied territories. and i will remind you that the enemy's plans to capture the territory of the region are not simply destroyed, because the enemy stops and literally covers the high-ranking officers of the generalship with slings, and this consists in the fact that part of the territory that was occupied in the summer, e.e., at the end of the spring and in the summer of 2022, it is de -occupied.

international partners in such communities, where stabilization measures were first carried out, and then literally in the sense of restoring and returning life to these territories. well, it was very significant, such as partners such as adra , the international food program, and many, many others, our partners, unicef the international committee of the red cross of the international organization of migration, they are really or not very significant efforts, i would say that they are concentrating precisely on the territory of the donetsk region, and we are doing everything to ensure that the military has a comfortable life, if you can say so where they are located, if there are advanced positions on this one, but so that the military should have the maximum opportunity so that they should have the opportunity

to rest on the field, let it be short, along the front line and carry out all the necessary measures , knowing that the enemy cannot enter to any city without destroying it and without applying its scorched earth frontal tactics, the enemy destroys everything first, the artillery and all of us with the available types of weapons to restore the daughter region we have considerable experience, the experience of the ova team, but this can only be started after how will the territory of the region be de-occupied and the enemy will be stopped, now the fishery for the key enterprises of the region is not functioning , in fact, the entire industry in the territory of the region and in the city of kramatorsk is such that the stopped part is greek for the continuation of its functioning, but this is a small part , but the main key taxpayers

stopped precisely due to the fact that literally in the first week and month of the war there were missile strikes on enterprises that are not related to the defense complex and on the key industrial enterprises of the region the main part of the budget decreased, this is the income part of the budget. if our personal income tax is distributed among community budgets, the income tax is one of the main parts of which the regional budget was replenished. well, the part of the personal income tax decreased by more than half a billion, we actually passed it, let's say from this concentration which helped us to survive and not to fall as a key enterprise of the region, including having the opportunity to help communities in

several more cases, and communities also joined in helping even the regional budget, the concentration of the budget allowed dating the key enterprises to pass, including the heating period, and these are two key enterprises of the region, which in fact, in their majority, more than 80% is spread over the entire territory and currently under control , it is donetsk teplokomunenergo and the donbas water company, we understand that these are about the unchanged tariffs do not get out, of course. in the conditions of martial law, they were not increased. they talked about the fact that many people, even those who left or, of course, who remained, had the conditions and opportunities to pay for

services of water supply and heat supply in the winter period, they will not say that there were no certain speculations on this, but they were definitely very significantly reduced. there are less than 5,000 people left if brothers by children eh bakhmut is a city of the fiercest battles where part of bakhmut eh is such a way to get there even now bakhmut is already eh into a city with regime access eh already for almost two weeks, there are certain cities where the evacuation of people is already impossible, and with all responsibility i will say that all people during the entire period of access

to one or another location in bakhmut were given the opportunity to evacuate as much as possible, the evacuation of children from bakhmut continues today also continues. even as of now , in the evening, the evacuation teams report on the number of evacuated children currently in bakhmut, those who may still be evacuated -
