5:30 pm
[000:00:00;00] of the espresso channel, qualitatively and clearly, people's deputy of ukraine, deputy chairman of the verkhovna rada's committee on national security, head of the verkhovna rada's permanent delegation to the nato parliamentary assembly, let's move on 17th 29 minutes, well, it's 1:30 p.m. it's just that short information, but extremely important, let's remind you that rafael grosi, the head of the magathe recently noted that the security situation around the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has greatly worsened, our native ukrainian energoatom reported that the occupiers may they are preparing to leave the nuclear power plant, they are marking everything that can be taken with them well, one way or another, for now these are just our assumptions. zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant remains in the focus of attention of organizations, in particular, today un secretary general antonio guterres is visiting kyiv. he, of course, has the main topic of the visit but in addition, there is an important statement regarding the united nations organization is ready to provide
5:31 pm
its services as a proxy in the issue of the demilitarization of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is temporarily under the control of the russian occupiers , the security and protection of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant power plants are vital, in the meantime there is a report that there is a big fire in energodar, what it is connected with is currently being clarified, we will inform her about it olga trofimtseva ambassador for special assignments of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine coordinator of karadeexport exporters and investors are already in touch with us slava to ukraine, ms. olga , we are extremely glad to see you on the air of the espresso tv channel, the hero of the general plan of the guterians today met with the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky, so we see that there is a certain chance to prolong the story about grain corridor, what will be the capacity, it is possible to increase something, maybe it will be possible to defeat all
5:32 pm
the insidious russians, so to speak , submarines, so to speak, lord, do not forgive the mines, because they very often simply stupidly dragged out the process, so they continue to do it, in fact, and this is one of the main problems what is the topic, let's say, of the discussions regarding the extension of the work of the grain corridor in our country? well, now i'm probably petro, a little exaggerated, i'll say optimistically, but my personal feelings, er, i think there will be no problems with this, you know that ukraine insisted even if we continue to insist that it would be worth talking about extending the work of the e-corridor not for 120 days , but at least for a year, because it helps to get a certain stability not only for ukrainian agricultural producers, but also for importing countries and a certain kind of price stability, at least somehow. well, market stability in general, yes, conjuncturally. let's say stability and the second point, which
5:33 pm
ukraine also initiates. and this is at least to start negotiations regarding the inclusion of the port of mykolayiv. about underwater mines, yes, or in general about the work of the representatives of the terrorist country of russia in the inspection group. yes, this is the biggest actual obstacle to the work under the new corridor, if we speak, because they are the ones who are slowing down the work. they are the ones who are slowing down inspections find some, i don't know, arguments for working part-time and others, respectively, even those ships that come in for loading , eh, we see that there are not enough of them even to there they worked to the full, here are these against the great odesa. speaking of which, if
5:34 pm
we add the port of mykolaiv here, which in fact needs a water area to clear mines, that is , there will be a lot of work in this regard , nevertheless, there is a reason for optimism, and this visit once again confirmed that the un unequivocally insists also that the grain agreement is its extension of work under the new corridor is extremely important for the world, extremely important not only for ukraine and for the countries participating in this agreement. accordingly, we have this stable strong support of turkey as well we have already heard these statements, and literally today before our conversation with you, i also watched an online event with participants , including the participation of representatives of turkey , where they also said that they are, in principle , well, we can say that they are sure that the agreement will be extended. exactly wanted to ask a question about whether turkey should now join the process of extending this agreement
5:35 pm
, we understand that turkey is now very concerned about its internal problems , which are obvious. but at the same time, how active they are in this matter and whether they remain they are a channel of communication, possibly with the russian side, in general, what does russia think about the grain agreement and its extension? and what does russia think , let's say this. sometimes i don't even want to comment , but we saw it. we also saw signals. yes , of course, from the russian side, and we monitor it, so that's exactly what the russian ministry of foreign affairs declares. and representatives of the ministry of agriculture if let's start with russia if we talk about the russian foreign ministry, they also said that russia believes that the agreement should be extended from the other side, we heard statement from the ministry of agriculture of russia about the fact that it may not be appropriate now to talk about the extension of this agreement if the interests
5:36 pm
of agricultural exporters and fertilizer exporters of russia are not taken into account , despite the fact that we know very well that the direct interests of russian farmers or fertilizer producers are not suppressed in any way absolutely and no one did not impose direct sanctions on these producers, there is, of course, an indirect negative from financial sanctions from banking sanctions from problems with insurance well, let's say so again, ukrainian the position here is that to loosen sanctions or to meet some kind of demands or additional conditions. all the more blackmail with which we see that russia periodically engages . it definitely does not make sense, and now with regard to turkey, i am very personally pleased with turkey's position because, first of all, despite to the really difficult humanitarian situation now in the country itself, their grain business, their flour milling business continues to work and tries to work actively for
5:37 pm
the domestic market and to process ukrainian grain further into flour in order to to export to third countries, respectively, turkey's interest has not decreased precisely in making the grain agreement work and i also liked turkey's position exactly what they know so made it clear in fact i 'm paraphrasing now but nevertheless so what and even if russia is somehow again still behave there as before and blackmail there participation or participation in the grain agreement, and turkey is ready, let's say so, to do everything possible to ensure that this agreement and the grain corridor work even here in under such conditions well, we actually understand what we are talking about, we saw such a situation with you in november and in the month when russia initially stated there that it would not participate in the agreement well, turkey's response in principle
5:38 pm
was, in my opinion, brilliant in the sense that well, okay you will not so we will continue to export without you and it worked well and accordingly i would like to ask you about the prospects of expanding the range that would go along this or that corridor, call it grain or non-grain but maybe some more there are additional options a-a m-m, well, you know that from the very beginning, in fact , the representatives of ukraine tried to include , and we continue to work to include not only agricultural products in the work of this export, in fact, yes, of the black sea corridor until today, russia does not agree to this, yes , and well, basically, not mainly. and of course, we export agricultural products now , it’s not only grain. by the way, oil and if look at the geography of these uh
5:39 pm
supplies to the geography of this agricultural export. by the way, there will also be an interesting moment here , too. hmm, namely that the three leaders of production come through this azern corridor . well, in fact, as such a sea gate of the european union. yes, but it is also in the first place . for the month of february, we have china in first place, and china is the third leader among importers, plus india is extremely interested in the work of this corridor, which buys and plans to increase the import of sunflower oil accordingly. within the framework of the work and everything else. i think that once again it will be submitted to negotiations regarding the extension of the work of the corridor and we will see how these proposals will be reacted to, of course , in russian, so that it would be as if they say what to take out, because the enemy controls a significant part of our arable lands he destroyed a lot of arable land mining and so on
5:40 pm
, we understand what is happening now with our tractor drivers, machine operators and so on because the reservation mechanisms very often do not work and so on that we will have in the spring for sowing, you know the situation will be approximately the same as last year, that is, we see that the situation is not significantly worsening, we already see that our farmers have started to go to the fields in the same odesa odesa region and in the south well, in kherson in the kherson region also where there are de-occupied territories. yes, we see that there is a threat, of course , because there are significant mined territories , we need to be careful here, especially again in those regions that have recently been liberated. but nevertheless, nevertheless, we follow the previous ones expectations and forecasts, although this is a matter now, of course, it is very ungrateful that we see that our
5:41 pm
specialized business associations are forecasting and the specialized ministry of agrarian policy they are saying that, just like last year, we will sow about 25% less than in the 21st year. yes that is, we still have a quarter of the area, unfortunately, but what will be exported and what will be processed. therefore, let's say so, our farmers continue to work and produce. well, of course , again, to our viewers, as always, for the domestic market, we also have more than that's enough. thank you, ms. olga, for your work and for participating in the live broadcast of the espresso tv channel. olga trofimtseva, ambassador on special assignments of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine, coordinator of karate experts, exporters and investors in ukraine, the debate about whether or not to celebrate march 8 is still ongoing. the application is active, the majority of users voted to leave this day off, however, until the end of the martial law in ukraine, all public holidays remain working, so do not expect
5:42 pm
the meaning of march 8 and how it do ukrainians perceive flowers and candies further in the plot, feminist actions or to cancel altogether the discussions about march 8 in ukraine do not subside, so the deputies registered a bill on calendar changes and proposed several options, one of the popular versions is to cancel march 8 as international women's day and implement february 25. ukrainian women's day is three , not even one. and three alternatives. one suggests keeping march 8. but changing its name to the international day of the struggle for women's rights. march 8 and the fourth most extravagant authorship of galina tretyakova to rename march 8 as a spring holiday, one of the initiators of the final version
5:43 pm
of the bill proposes to change the name to international women's rights day marina bardina, the main initiator of the actual bill to change the name, wanted to change the tonality, that is, to show that the state understands the need to take care of women's rights , and is ready to protect them, a more logical name would be a name that would contain the word a-a or some more motivational yes, that is, a international day of promoting the equality of women's rights according to historian volodymyr vyatrovych, this is not the first time that such a bill has been submitted to the verkhovna rada, but these proposals are not in order, instead, it emphasizes the systematic reform of public holidays , which, unfortunately, still affects women in ukrainian society who are forced to wait one year on one day of the year in order to receive some well-deserved
5:44 pm
attention from men, this is just an indicator of how far it is . the resolution that proposed the countries of the world to celebrate the international day of women's rights and international peace on any day of the year. the date of march 8 came from russia as early as 1917. since then, ukrainians, together with the entire soviet space , annually celebrated march 8, which later became a national day, and since 1965 it was declared there is also a way out with it, and it is obvious that more activity is needed not only by some members of feminist movements, it is obvious that in general there are more active discussions in society why is it important that it is possible to talk about it and why it is dangerous to continue to keep it these are all the soviet formats that continue to connect us with the russian federation if we together with russia have march 8, which we celebrate together if
5:45 pm
beautiful girls with bouquets walk the streets of kyiv and moscow at the same time because their husbands made them happy on this day well, that's for sure still plays into the hands of the fact that yes, we are one people, for the last four years in the capital of the country on march 8, actions were held to fight for women's rights, such events were initiated by the team of human rights activist olena shevchenko. this year, a ukrainian woman became one out of 12 women of the year according to time magazine, olena says that as long as there is discrimination against women in ukraine, the struggle must continue, it is necessary to make this day a working day and for people to understand that this is a political struggle, it is a political holiday when women take to the streets , when women start speaking louder about their rights i.e., this day is precisely to draw attention to the violations of women's rights, sovietism is not only about demolishing monuments and renovating streets, it is necessary to change consciousness here and something
5:46 pm
there, and then i think that women in ukraine will become to live much safer in the conditions of war mass events are not planned for march 8, however, the initiatives of marchinok launched the campaign unbreakable women of ukraine on the streets and in the subway you can see signs and posters with the image of women of various professions . we strongly encourage each of you to simply tell on social networks about yourself and write the hashtag unbreakable women of ukraine is exactly that how we women were raised not to talk about your achievements talk about yourself in social networks tag your friends whom you know may they also be able to find in themselves strength to speak for myself, we asked ukrainians how they perceive the date march 8 and what they think about the changes in the calendar. i think women's rights should be remembered every day, not only march 8. well, i would combine them because well,
5:47 pm
after all, first of all, this introduction ok later it's like women's day, it's like that well, i don't know about women and lesya ukrainka, but for february 25, just bring and make your own version. i think that we absolutely do not need march 8 , because it was invented by the communist party, we will remind you based on the results of the survey the application is active, more than 1,300,000 ukrainians voted to leave march 8 as a holiday and the deputies will consider the final version of the bill in the parliament only after under martial law natalya from the far right vadym shismatskyi for the espresso tv channel and now volodymyr vyatrovych and storik narodnyi will join us in our studio mp of ukraine , member of the verkhovna rada committee on humanitarian and information policy, glory to ukraine, mr. volodymyr, we congratulate you
5:48 pm
, glory to the heroes, well, march 8, that is, you know this whether the holiday is in quotation marks or without quotation marks, that is, on the one hand, the day of international women's solidarity, and then there is either the birthday of clara zetkin or rosa luxemburg, and so on. well, this is folk mythology, in any case, how should we properly and wisely proceed from such initiatives that have been implemented for dozens of years , and we understand the purpose of the soviet government planting such traditions in order to replace ukrainian traditions related to religion and so on. you really won't get anywhere with this soviet holiday is a soviet tradition and it is obvious that if we want to give them a different meaning on march 8, then we need to lay down some slightly different meaning when we are simply talking about international women's day and these cakes and bouquets, of course this is precisely this soviet meaning, it is nowhere to be found it does not change, unfortunately it remains in this
5:49 pm
holiday if now we hear a lot of initiatives on the part of especially women's organizations that this should be a day of struggle for what has been done, then obviously it is necessary to fill this holiday with such a new meaning, and i absolutely agree with because the original format of this day, march 8, rather preserves this soviet tradition instead of providing opportunities for some new content, such as those aimed at reminding of the struggle for women's rights . i think it should be possible to look for some ukrainian holidays of struggle for women's rights, i posted a post on my facebook that should talk about the ukrainian feminist movement, talk about natalya kobrynska, for example, and not about klara seketin, maybe then some other dates will appear, i don't know there december 8, 1884 when for the first time in ukraine, the first women's demonstrations took place in galicia, perhaps this would be a good day to remind about the need
5:50 pm
to fight for women's rights. the voice of the people is reflected in voting in action . how to deal with this? some additional, so to speak, tools for working with our society so that they think not about how it used to be, you know, but about how it should be today, well, let's start with whether this is really the voice of the people because the tool that conducts this vote, well, for me personally, it is not clear how this voting takes place, what is the mechanism for counting votes, and i would be very skeptical about the results of this vote , that is, the tool must be completely transparent in order to trust it . instead, we see a strange calculation instead, we see some strange use of it for political purposes , a deputy or a minister addresses ukrainians through this application with some
5:51 pm
appeals or appeals to me, this is radcha preparation for something else, preparation for possible electronic elections, which concerns, uh, the mood in society in general. regarding this date, these awards, and other awards, it is obvious that indeed we are dealing with a very large inertia. but in order to overcome this energy on the one hand, some kind of extensive information work on the other hand, quite decisive steps on the part of those politicians who are not afraid to take responsibility. defender of ukraine day, defender of the fatherland day, and so on. because some reforms must be carried out, despite that , the majority still do not like them . well, in any case, we understand that it is necessary to develop our own ukrainian traditions. so this is an important history, for example, the same shevchenko days and not only they are, but very often somehow it does not gain such an important momentum in society, i don't know, in your
5:52 pm
opinion, something is missing from the current situation if we are talking about ukrainian memory policy in general, yes that is, taking into account what is happening on the battlefield on the front line , and so on . and so on, how should we reformat our social fabric, how should we design it correctly ? systemic initiatives aimed at actually restoring this national memory, some key accents of this national memory , at best, now, in certain aspects, we observe a certain energy of memory politics we are observing the growth of decommunization processes in the process of decolonization, but this is again a better process that takes place spontaneously with the participation of the public, unfortunately, until now the parliament has not dared to adopt the necessary bills, of which mykola knyazhytskyi and i are co-authors, which should provide a
5:53 pm
legitimate framework for these processes, this is not unfortunately, absolutely meager funds have been allocated in the budget for the activities of the ukrainian institute of national memory . politics of national memory at a time when it is actually now extremely necessary because history is from the arena of this war because it is a war for identity on the other hand history is used especially by our enemies as a tool in this war and you know against the background of this war for identity, the very strange initiatives of the minister of education that we do not need history as a compulsory subject in the national cross-curricular test, about his strange statements that history is best studied at school, well, i really hope that we we will never hear any similar statements from the ministry of defense that the best form of defense of the country is still self-defense somewhere in households and so on. that is, these are absolutely absurd things that are actually very harmful considering the situation in which
5:54 pm
ukraine is now, which, on the contrary, needs maximum some concentration of efforts to strengthen these processes of national identity that are being created, that now have unique opportunities in view of this terrible war that accelerates these processes, mr. volodymyr, what other holidays do we have let's say this have an unpleasant, painful soviet rash, some of them are artificial, in principle, some of them have an unhealthy rash, like on march 8, so on ns, which is more expensive for the summer , it obviously has may 9. that is, in fact, this is the core of all these soviet myths of the modern russian myth, this is the core of racism, which, unfortunately, in ukraine continues to be celebrated at the state level and last year, despite the fact that sociology showed that more than 80% of ukrainians were ready to refuse the may 9 victory day, so
5:55 pm
there was talk of the need to celebrate victory in this war and honoring the memory of all the victims of this war on may 8, the parliament simply lacked the courage to even put this issue on the agenda. i am the author of this bill itself, which passed the committee and it would seem that it is about to be adopted under the dome of the verkhovna rada, but a change in the positions of the state leadership, a change in the position of the president himself, who unexpectedly, after a wonderful speech on may 8, came out on may 9 with the thesis that we will not give our may 9 to anyone because it is our holiday. well, in my opinion, the position is very, very absurd in fact because may 9 was and will remain unfortunately for those ukrainians who regret that this holiday is a russian holiday, a more russian holiday that will be used to keep ukraine in the orbit of russian influence, but in 2016 may 9 actually became the day of victory over nazism in ukraine in the second world war it was such a transitional measure in
5:56 pm
2015. of course, it was such a transitional period when we talked about let's talk not just about victory day , but the day of victory over nazism, let's talk together with on may 8, we introduced the day of remembrance and reconciliation. but it seems to me that the situation that began after the full-scale invasion of the mood of ukrainians provides all the opportunities for money to finally abandon these soviet traditions right now, as i said, sociology has shown that society turned out to be much more ready than those politicians who are supposedly presenting to the public in the parliament. well, accordingly , the transition to the new calendar, the new julian calendar , in your opinion. promotion of this extremely important church initiative, it is extremely important that the initiative is really in the hands of the church here, because we are talking about religious holidays, and obviously
5:57 pm
, regardless of the wishes of individual public activists or even the wishes of the state, this is still the responsibility of the church and i i am very glad that the church has taken on this responsibility and is moving at exactly the pace that it obviously feels is the most acceptable for it, and it seems to me that the statements that were made are specific from from the side of the ukrainian greek-catholic church, everyone behind her from the side of the orthodox church of ukraine gives hope that this will happen literally this year, that we will really celebrate together with the majority of the world the christian holidays and not do it synchronously with russia well, hardly we will do something synchronously with russia because too much blood has been spilled and too much disaster . they literally did it to us today, march 8. you know, in the capital of ukraine, as surely as to settle in the russian federation , men are running with bouquets, that is, well, this is what it still unites us with russia, unfortunately well, but if we talk, for example, about some strategies
5:58 pm
of what we should do right now under the conditions of full-scale russian aggression with a large number of dead, we must build a certain policy of commemoration absolutely i am convinced that this war that is happening now and the heroes of this war are precisely what unites us and what will unite ukrainians and our descendants for hundreds of years to come, you and i are simply witnesses of incredible heroism on the part of ukrainian soldiers, unfortunately , so far unknown to us soldiers and it is obvious that precisely in order to fix this whole history and to make these heroes more real, there should be a purposeful state policy . we have an ongoing discussion about the national military cemetery. i hope that it will be a little more public in order to understand, after all , the place where this national military cemetery will be located. cemeteries, i would like to remind you that last year a relevant law was passed already in
5:59 pm
the parliament, an extremely important law, that is , we are talking about the construction of such a ukrainian landmark where the dead would be buried all those who fought and are fighting for independence, for the independence of ukraine, there was a very strange initiative from the president's office that it could be lysa gora somewhere in kyiv. well, both the relief and the protected status of the natural reserve of this zone seem to me to create additional the difficulties are unclear. why do it at all there? i hope that it will return to some kind of normal discussion and we will choose a very worthy place and follow that. i really want to believe that we will move on to a discussion about the national pantone. what is that too should have placed somewhere in the capital of ukraine. thank you mr. volodymyr volodymyrov vyatrovycha storik, people's deputy of ukraine, member of the verkhovna rada committee on humanitarian and information policy, we remind you that you have the opportunity to support ukrainian journalism, you can become our sponsor on youtube or with the help of patreon link you see now
6:00 pm
on the screens join your attention there will be access to webstages from the studio with presenters special live broadcasts with editors the opportunity to ask video questions the opportunity ask questions to the guests of express and of course additional announcement of special broadcasts and guests of espresso get these and other exclusive bonuses by supporting ukrainian journalism well, we are gradually finishing today, another important piece of news has arrived from energodar, there is a big fire, cotton is temporarily occupied there, the fire is being extinguished by the military and the rosguard announced this in his telegram , the mayor of melitopol, ivan fedorov, he announced this at 1420 big cotton and published a photo , well, that's it, i think that the information order our colleagues will already pick up the daytime mezzanine , we say goodbye to you, then the verdict with serhii
