, the most up-to-date information from ukraine and the world and the front chronicle, everything it is on our website espresso tv well, then we are in touch with mykola knyazhytskyi, people's deputy of ukraine mr. mykolai good day good health to you and i am glad to see you on our broadcast greetings greetings to each other let's start with belohorodshchyna because over the past two days, we have been watching how belohorodshchyna is gradually sinking into a civil war between the forces of the insurgent units of the russian volunteer team . is the headquarters of this battalion and the russian military already there ? there is the beginning of protest actions in russia and to what extent these protests can be scaled within

the borders of the russian federation . at least take part of the whiskey and part of the resources in order to fight these rebels. well, it is difficult for me to say that it is the same as for you. as it is obvious to all our viewers that these are processes that did not go unnoticed in russia, they caused panic there, thanks to these processes, internal confrontation between different groups spread who are around putin, the same handsome man as always criticizes the army for the fact that the army is not able to protect the russian army, the army of the aggressor is not able to protect the russians, it is obvious that once again these actions demonstrated all the weakness of the russian defense system, they boasted that they put some fortifications there on their border, just as

they once boasted that a dagger cannot be knocked down by anyone. including supporting their own armed forces, and it is obvious that this is due to the fact that these armed forces , after all, people do not perceive e-e part of people do not perceive them as an attempt to protect themselves, but perceive them as er, the aggressive part of the attack on other people, it supposedly did not concern them, the fact that the war affects russia directly, obviously helps ukraine to win, raises serious doubts in russian society , which is completely under state propaganda yesterday, at least on the state channel, er, only about 30 seconds were allocated er, this is because what is happening now in the belgorod region, so we will watch how russia weakens, it is obvious that we have to defeat russia, only

our internal armed forces can realize this perfectly, and of course we should support any protest movements, which i think we are doing, but after all, it is the business of ukrainian society and the ukrainian armed forces, but the business of society in ukraine , this struggle with the russian peace, you are the author of two draft laws that are registered in the verkhovna rada, this is pro-decolonization of the cultural space 7721 dе the concept of russian peace is defined and this draft law prohibits its propaganda. well, and the second draft on the banning of the rpc and its branches in ukraine, we have been observing for the last two months how the authorities in ukraine cannot express moscow monks than moscow priests from the territory of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, and this shows the weakness of the state apparatus, which cannot do anything with the representatives of the rpc branch, why does the verkhovna rada of ukraine not want to promptly and er quickly pass bills that will allow

to get rid of er and this of the colonial e-e culture that the russian world carries and in the end will not do anything about the rpc branch in ukraine, simply put, will not prohibit the work of the moscow church on the territory of ukraine , it is difficult for them to do this because the ruling party the servants of the people came to power with the support of this church, this is not a big secret, and obviously the people who support this church are also deputies of the verkhovna rada of the sending party, we have quite a lot of them, they simply do not have the votes not only to accept our bill, which accordingly to the e-e practice of the european court of human rights and international directives and conventions actually prohibits the activity of the rpc in ukraine, they cannot accept even a government bill prepared at the initiative of the president uh, which from my point of view is obviously much weaker and ineffective, but

at least it declares some way to this ban and even this bill has not been brought to the floor for a very long time, why is it not brought because there are no votes from the ruling party, roughly speaking , they do not want to vote for it despite the fact that i think that volodymyr zelensky himself would have wanted the government project to be voted on, and this is also his mistake, because the authors of our deputy project did not have any with him, and we would have explained to him that he of course, it works much more efficiently, but the government is used to closing itself and working only with its own people, uh, in fact, this is such an authoritarian approach to politics, but even the project that they support they cannot pass through the hall. that's all a banal story, and of course it hurts to look at it that in fact the largest structure that is directly connected to the fsb and the russian army, which calls for the destruction of the independence of ukraine, continued to operate legally in ukraine - this is of course a shame , just as it is a shame that they cannot evict

from the e-e monasteries of the representatives of this structure because their approach was wrong, they thought that they would do it easily, but it turned out that a law is really needed for this, and that is why the very experienced representatives of the russian world who protect this russian church are doing everything to slow down this process and the ukrainian state cannot direct attention to this and give effective mechanisms, and at the same time the parishioners of the moscow church in ukraine are talking about the fact that literally

what a difference putin god patriarch kirill has us there is a short video of this parishioner who is pushing this thesis . let's see ukraine. the existence of the rpc branch in ukraine . what is the threat to ukraine in the near future? a sect, any sect , in principle, is a danger to society, we remember the white brotherhood, which is also the white brotherhood, at that time the media wrote that they were created by the kgb to manipulate society and that this is another tool of russia's manipulation of our by ukrainian society. this is obviously an element of hybrid war. obviously, this weakens our defense capability. obviously, their churches and

monasteries are shelters for russian agents who directly oppose ukrainian statehood, and it is obvious that this also weakens our defense capability because it demoralizes ukrainian society, so there are threats in fact, it is very much, not to mention the fact that the priests of this so-called church take up weapons and kill ukrainians with impunity and they have nothing to do either as well as this public organization, which poses a real threat to the national security of ukraine, the thesis that it does not want to vote. the authorities do not want to recognize the threat to the national security of this church, so to speak, perhaps one of the arguments of the authorities, well, the internal argument of mykola is that the authorities are already thinking about the next elections, and the church has always been a tool for any political force and in order to use the church and, accordingly

, the parishioners to vote for one or another political force in certain regions. of ukraine began to distribute the newspaper servant of the people and it looks very wild against the background of what is happening in ukraine and the money that is used to help the army here , millions of circulations of this newspaper have already been seen in various regions and in khmelnytskyi and kirovohrad, where or in kropyvnytskyi in kirovohrad oblast and in other regions, in your opinion, does the government plan to return to the idea of ​​holding elections in the near future, even though it is wartime? i think it is prohibited in the constitution, but we see this newspaper on the screen now and it turns out that

for the representatives of the current government, a single telethon is not enough, they simply left printed products for the sake of the ukrainians , why are they doing this, they want elections , well, i guess they are preparing for elections. and first of all, i want to say that i, well, i do not think that volodymyr zelensky himself even now they counted on the support of the russian communist party because the executive power and the president did quite a lot in order to somehow limit the influence of the russian communist party. them there are simply many parishioners of this church who came to power with their support, who may be connected in some other way or from this church, or with the aggressor state, and obviously they simply do not want to vote for it, and zelensky does not have the power to to force them to vote for it so i don't think that zelensky is counting on this, as far as the servant of the people is concerned. she receives funding from the budget, which all political

parties probably spend part of these funds on their propaganda newspapers. i publish these. i think that well, no the constitution and the law forbid holding elections during martial law, perhaps someone wants to explain to the president that now he has the highest rating in that the elections may be better held now. near the government because they are very afraid of losing this power. at the same time, we hear information from the head of the national security and defense council, for example, and from the president himself that the elections are not on time, and i agree with them on this, so i do not see any possibilities as to hold elections now although it does not exclude the fact that there are many people around the president who dream about them now, but i don't know how to do it myself. this is a long process because we will do it according to the new law that we adopted

, where are the open lists that are democratic in principle, but which also needs to be refined, they are now considering the possibility of abandoning such a return to closed lists when the party leader forms a list, or at least a return to the mixed system that existed before this can guarantee support for majority deputies who came to power very often by bribing voters. i am also a majority deputy, but i fully support open lists and the system that we adopted because it is a democratic european system, but the authorities can think otherwise, they need to draw up lists of voters, it is necessary to determine how to ensure the rights of those millions of ukrainians who ended up abroad , there are no answers to all these questions. and i don't see the verkhovna rada starting to think about it or in what way to change the legislation, so i personally i don't believe in quick elections, because i don't see the prerequisites for this. but as i already said, every politician

after winning the election always feeds the next one, and those politicians who are in power are no exception, therefore they cannot feed such a base. another very important question is june 19. in 2022, almost a year ago, 11 months ago, the verkhovna rada of ukraine adopted a law prohibiting the import and distribution of publishing products of the aggressor state, and 306 votes were cast by the people's deputies for this law, no one voted against it, no one abstained i.e. 306 votes, so far, almost 21,000 votes have been received by a petition in support of this law, and a request to the president to sign this law, the law, developed together with representatives of civil society , provides for a ban on the import and distribution of publishing products from russia and belarus , provides for the publication of books in ukraine in the original language or translated into ukrainian

in the language of the european union in the languages ​​of the european union or indigenous peoples of ukraine blocks the possibility of importing putin's content well, for almost a year, the president has not signed this law the public is upset and insists on signing this law, but it is also a violation of the constitution when the president does not return this law to the verkhovna rada with any amendments so that it again passes verification or voting in the verkhovna rada of ukraine and does not sign it. how can zelenskyi be forced to sign this necessary in the current time is the law of public pressure, so i urge everyone to sign the petition that you just showed the author and taras that maidan is a well-known public activist who does a lot to promote the ukrainian language of the ukrainian cultural space, so i urge everyone to sign it. of course, it is a disgrace that the president does not sign it. again , i think that certain lobbyists went to the president

or to the employees of his office and told him something like that in order to continue importing russian books, because the reasons for that not to sign this law. i don't see, and we see how strong pro-russian views are among those who can go to the president. the ban on the russian world, which you mentioned from the very beginning , because some of these people left this russian world and the war began, but they did not fulfill the russian world from the top of their heads, even though there were a lot of journalists who, uh, glorified yanukovych and then worked on pro-russian channels, they are now supposedly patriots they work on a telethon in other media, they are supported by the state or people close to the president's office, but this is absolutely opportunistic support for ukraine , because it is their behavior and politics that caused this aggression to me as well it seems to us that it is time to clearly define and unite society around truly ukrainian values

, you see how it happens in some cities where some people sing russian songs in karaoke or, er , quarrel and do not want to be served in the ukrainian language, as a society strongly opposes this these people react, then apologize. this unites society and this is the hope that, after all , the society will bring the president to listen . an element of the path to our victory, friends, for those who are now watching us on the air, i will say that this petition in support of the law on the prohibition of the import and distribution of publishing products of the aggressor state is posted on the website of the president of gov.ua, you can find this petition in the petition section, sign it anywhere please, because there are still not enough 4,000 to reach 25,000 , our audience is quite active , so please do it because it is important for

our future. well , meanwhile, russian propagandists are outraged that belarusians are learning the belarusian language, they are even a real danger and using the examples of ukraine proves that belarus can break away from russia, let's see how it is used by russian propaganda. you took that they are not belarusians, well, my son says, he comes and says . and i am lytvyn, i am 16-17 years old, where is this from? they listen to polish radio here , in belarusian

minske vrezde well, in fact, no one spoke belarusian, now they are starting to use the special belarusian language, it is dangerous. it is really dangerous. что оны сейчас знают, it seems like we know, yes, they went to ukrainian moscow, they are afraid that they are listening to polish radio, and we, on the contrary, were happy when we listened to polish radio back in the days of the soviet union, he sang about it about polish radio, considering what russia is doing and how it is doing , including in belarus , what kind of humanitarian policy should we have now, because we, one way or another , are approaching the fact that humanitarian policy determines the future and is what educates then the generation, the youngest generation, starting with dubbing. i remember what kind of problems i had then, with what creaks and with what

cries of russian speakers, it all happened . when ukrainian dubbing was introduced as mandatory in cinemas, then the language law, which was authored by you, then others bills that allowed us to expand this ukrainian world in ukraine if it didn't sound strange, is there a humanitarian policy now during the war and does it meet the challenges that are facing us now, but these days, well, you know, russian-speaking people, so to speak, though there is no such concept, there are ukrainians, there are russians, there are russified ukrainians, but they are also different, because there are many people who, due to circumstances, did not learn the ukrainian language because they thought that they did not need it, now they send their children to ukrainian schools and they gradually learn it themselves the ukrainian language, but ukrainian schools are overcrowded and their parents very often communicate in russian, and their children already communicate in ukrainian. i see this because we are doing such a shelter project with several public organizations, we help

displaced people, including in the central western part of our country, and ukrainian language courses are full of those people who come now to lviv or even to poltava , they are interested in learning the ukrainian language, and we help them in this literally the day before yesterday , there was a plast charity bonfire - it was such an evening in aid of the wonderful ukrainian youth organization plast, which educates ukrainian youth, and the professor of the mohyla academy of rosydemska gave an inspection there, and she very interestingly talked about the fact that there are nations that are being built around the old language. this is like , for example, the greeks who restored ancient greek or the jews who they used ida to then use hebrew, there are nations of the empire where the language is imposed from the mountain or from above, and there are nations such as ukraine, where there is a certain community

that communicates in a certain language and this language independent, among other things, the outstanding origin of this community unites this community and the state is built around language . this is what happens in the czech republic or in croatia or in ukraine, for example. so for us, language is the main thing around which our state is built , that is why such a big blow is being made in the ukrainian language , that is why belarusians are afraid of belarusians learning belarusian, because the language makes them, will make a community of simply obedient executors of the will of the emperor, who in this case is again the russian emperor so this is very important, our humanitarian policy does not pay enough attention to it, perhaps because it is implemented very often by those people who fought with this language and tried to russify ukraine already when it was clear that the ukrainian language is as important for building the ukrainian state as the ukrainian army as and the ukrainian church and these people have now adapted or

adapted or sincerely want to protect themselves from russian aggression because they understand that the russians will not divide ukrainians into russian-speaking and ukrainian-speaking, they will to destroy or evict them as it happens in those regions in the east where the deportation of children is carried out, the deportation of ukrainians. so yesterday there was literally a video where some people from the east of ukraine were traveling through russia and on them they were russian-speaking, they thought that they were bringing their brothers and on them were russians on the road they don't rush to call them banderites and they feel that the essence for them is precisely the essence is not in the language, it is an effort to destroy all ukrainians, but in order not to destroy all ukrainians, if all ukrainians are ukrainian-speaking, it will be the best means for mobilization and for protection and in order to convince the world once again to prove to the world that we are a strong nation that is built around our own language and our own culture and our own tradition, and this is of course a very important tool for continuing our support from our western partners

in including weapons, because everything is connected in this issue, why exactly i am asking about humanitarian policy, because at the cannes festival, one of the most prestigious film festivals, almost this year there are almost no ukrainian films or events dedicated to it is very sad for ukraine, because at this time, culture can be exactly the medium that will constantly remind the whole world that we are at war, that we are defending ourselves, that ukrainians are a heroic people, and, if possible, about cinema literally for a minute, we created a situation at the end of the 19th year when ukraine produced at least 50 feature films per year, how many are produced now, who knows these films, even these films that are currently being released, these films were mainly shot either with private funds or those that were started even before the 19th year or

some units of new films, this is not at all the number that was released before, because for the state ukrainian culture for the current government, unfortunately, ukrainian culture is underestimated for many of the representatives of the state, they do not realize the full importance of this and sometimes perceive and even as a hostile culture, evidence of this is the non-awarding of the shevchenko prize this year , so, unfortunately, this is a very sad situation, but it seems to me that we must do everything in order to convince the ukrainian authorities again return culture and cultural policy and cultural diplomacy to the priorities of our development. thank you, mr. mykola, for the conversation. it was mykola knyazhytskyi, people's deputy of ukraine. friends, we are working live on the espresso tv channel. like this video subscribe to youtube and facebook and other social networks now you see below the link to these resources we are on
