[000:00:00;00] vegetable of russian oil and diesel, and not only as a consumer. and i would also say the right car, that is, because after that it all goes to the markets of the world, and in this context, i would think that we need to work in diplomacy there, but in general well, i i would say yes, bets are made by god somewhere, this is how it looks today for me. thank you, mr. major. this was a major of the armed forces of ukraine, a special political officer, a people's deputy of ukraine of the eighth convocation, ihor lapin, friends, we are working live for those who are now watch us live on youtube and on facebook please like our video subscribe to our social networks you can also join the sponsor club of youtube channel espresso now you will see a qr-code by clicking on which you will receive detailed instructions on how to join our

esteemed and this club sponsors of the espresso youtube channel, any help from you will be quite useful and necessary for us, in addition , visit us on the espresso tv site , the most prompt information from ukraine and the world and the front chronicle, all this is on our espresso tv website. well, then we will be in touch with mykola knyazhytskyi, people's deputy of ukraine, mr. mykolai. good day. good health to you . i am glad to see you on our broadcast. for two days, we have been watching how belohorodshchyna gradually plunges into a civil war between the forces of the insurgent units of the russian volunteer team. what is the rdk of this battalion and the russian military already there

? yours. is this the beginning of protests in russia and to what extent can these protests be scaled within the borders of the russian federation ? well, accordingly, in this way, russia can plunge into a civil war and leave ukraine, or at least take some of the whiskey and some of the resources to fight these rebels . well, it is difficult for me to say that it is the same as it is 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, the internal confrontation between various groups that are around putin, the same handsome 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 the weakness of the russian defense system, they boasted that they had put some fortifications there on their border, just as they once boasted that a dagger cannot be knocked down by anyone. it turns out that a dagger can be knocked down and fortifications can be passed because a corrupt authoritarian state is obviously not capable of anything to do effectively, including supporting one's own armed forces, and it is obvious that this is due to the fact that these armed forces are not perceived by all people, some people do not perceive them as an attempt to protect themselves, but perceive them as an aggressive part of an attack on other people, this is allegedly they were not concerned with the fact that the war concerns 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, they only spent about 30 seconds 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 must support any protest movements , which i think we are doing, but still after all, it is the business of ukrainian society and the ukrainian armed forces, but it is the business of society in ukraine , this fight against 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 d e-e defined the concept of русский мир and this draft law prohibits its propaganda. well, and the second draft on banning the rpc and its branches in ukraine, we have been watching for the last two months how the authorities in ukraine cannot express moscow monks rather than moscow priests from the territory of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, and this shows about the weakness of the state, the state

apparatus that cannot do anything with the representatives of the rpc branch, why the verkhovna rada of ukraine does not want to promptly and er quickly pass bills that will allow to get rid of er and this colonial er culture, which is carried by the russian world and in the end will not do anything about the branch of the russian orthodox church 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 of the servant 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 members 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 adopt our

bill, which according to the practice of the european court of human rights and international directives and conventions in fact prohibits the activity of the rpc in ukraine, they cannot accept even a government draft law prepared on the initiative of the president of the republic of ukraine, 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 had the desire for the government project to be voted on 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 of course it works much more efficiently, but the government is used to closing itself and working only with its own people 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 because

in fact the largest structure that is directly related to the fsb with the russian the army, which calls for the destruction of the independence of ukraine, continued to function legally in ukraine, it is of course a shame, just as it is a shame that they cannot evict the representatives of this structure from the monasteries , because their very approach was wrong , it seemed to them that they would do it easily, but it turned out that a law is needed for this, and it is really needed, 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 pay attention to this and give effective mechanisms and at the same time parishioners of the moscow church in ukraine are told that literally what a difference putin god patriarch kirill, we don't have a small video of this parishioner who

is pushing this thesis, let's see ukraine , the existence of a branch of the russian orthodox church in ukraine, what is the threat to ukraine in the near future ? first of all, this branch works very actively in order to actually drug the heads of ukrainians. it works like a sect , any sect, in principle, poses 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 this is another tool of russia's manipulation of our ukrainian society. this is obviously an element of hybrid warfare. it is obvious that it weakens our defense capabilities. it is obvious that their churches and monasteries are shelters for russian agents who directly oppose ukrainian statehood. that this also weakens our defense capability, also because it demoralizes ukrainian society, so that there are actually extremely many threats, not to mention the fact that the priests of this so to speak, churches take up weapons and kill ukrainians with impunity, and they have nothing, just like this public organization , which poses a real threat to the national security of ukraine, theses that does not want to vote precisely, the government, they do not want to recognize the threat to the national security of this church, so to speak, is possible

one of the arguments of the authorities, well, the internal argument of mr. 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 parishioners to vote for one or another political force, now in some regions of ukraine they 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 copies of this newspaper have already been seen in various regions and in khmelnytskyi and kirovohrad, where or in kropyvnytskyi, kirovohrad oblast, and in other regions according to your opinion, does the government plan to return to the idea of ​​holding

elections in the near future, even though it is wartime? it seems to me that this is prohibited by the constitution, but we see this newspaper on the screen. it turns out that for the representatives of the current government, a single telethon is not enough. they simply left the printed products for the sake of the ukrainians . why are they doing this? they want elections. well, i guess they are preparing for elections. first of all, i want to say that i, well, i don't think that volodymyr zelenskyy himself was even now counting on the support of the russian security service because the executive power and the president did quite a lot to somehow limit the influence of the russian security service. we saw the actions of the sbu, but executive the government is so motley, but in the party the servants of the people, as i have already said, there are simply many parishioners of this church who came to power with their support, who may be connected in some other way, either from

this church or with the aggressor state and obviously, they simply don't want to vote for it, and zelenskyi doesn't have the power to force them to vote for it . so i don't think that zelenskyi is counting on it, as far as the servant of the people is concerned. they receive funding from the budget, which all political parties probably spend part of these funds i publish these for my propaganda newspapers. it seems to me that well, there is no constitution, the law prohibits 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. and if they are held using the action application, then you can there to count on something and on certain falsifications in order to extend the term of stay in power near the authorities because they are very afraid of losing this power. at the same time, we hear information from

the head of the nsdc, for example, from the president that the elections are not on time, and i agree with them on this, that is why i do not see the possibility of holding elections now. although i do not rule out the fact that there are many people around the president who dream about them now, but i do not know how to do it myself. this is a long process because that we will do this according to the new law that we adopted, where there are open lists that are democratic in principle, but which also needs to be revised, they are now considering the possibility of abandoning this and returning to closed lists when the party leader forms a list or at least returning to a mixed the system that existed before this can guarantee the support of 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 may think otherwise, they have to voter lists must be determined, how to ensure the rights of those millions of ukrainians who

have found themselves abroad , there are no answers to all these questions and i do not see the verkhovna rada starting to think about it or in what way to change the legislation, that's why i personally don't believe in quick elections, because i don't see the prerequisites for this. but as i already said, every politician after winning an election always feeds on the next one, and those politicians who are in power are not an exception, so they can't feed such a base another e- this is a rather important issue . on june 19, 2022, almost a year ago, 11 months ago, the verkhovna rada of ukraine adopted a law prohibiting the importation and distribution of publishing products of the aggressor state, and 306 votes were cast by people's deputies for this law. i did not vote against, no one abstained, that is, 306 votes, so far, almost 21,000 votes have been collected 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, distribution of publishing products . from russia and belarus provides for the publication of books in ukraine in the original language or translated into ukrainian, the european union in the languages ​​of the european union or the indigenous peoples of ukraine blocks the possibility of importing anti-putin propaganda content well, for almost a year, the president has not signed this law with the public, and he 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 in what is the way to force zelenskyi to sign this necessary law at the present time through public pressure , therefore i urge everyone to sign the petition

that you just showed the author and taras that maidan a well-known public activist who does a lot for the establishment of the ukrainian language in the ukrainian cultural space. so, i urge everyone to sign. of course, it is disgraceful 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. to continue to transport, to continue to import russian books, because there is no other reason not to sign this law . i do not see, and we see how strong pro-russian views are among those who can enter to the president, this is by the way, i think the reason why it is not being brought to the hall is my project on the banning of 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 their heads, although they did a lot journalists who glorified yanukovych and then worked on russian channels, they are now allegedly patriots working on telethons in other media are supported

by the state or people close to the president's office, but this is absolutely opportunistic support for ukraine because that is exactly what their behavior and politics , among other things, became the cause of this aggression, and it seems to me that we need to clearly define ourselves and unite society around ukrainian values . you can see how it happens in some cities where some people sing russian songs in karaoke or quarrel and they do not want to be served in the ukrainian language, as society reacts sharply to this, these people then apologize. this unites society and it is the hope that, after all, society will bring the president to listen not to lobbyists . colonization is now very important, it is 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 for support, well, for banning the importation and distribution of publishing products of the aggressor state, is posted on the website

of the president of gov.ua, you can find it in the petitions section please sign this petition because there are still 4,000 not enough to reach 25,000, it is not so much, 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 consider it a real danger, and uh, telling the examples of ukraine shows that uh, belarus can break away from russia, let's see how russian propaganda uses it, my friends , i'm here, i just came back from belarus from brest. they say rumors in we are young people, where did you get that they are not belarusian, well, my son is speaking, he is coming , and i am lytvyn

, i am 16-17 years old. learns the belarusian language if earlier, er, in minsk, well, in fact, no one spoke belarusian, now they are starting to learn the belarusian language on purpose, it’s dangerous. really, look in your native ukraine, because many people were just russian-speaking and did not know the ukrainian language perfectly. on the contrary

, they were happy when they listened to polish radio back in the days of the soviet union. the fact that humanitarian policy determines the future and, uh, what then educates the generation, the youngest generation, starting with dubbing. i remember what problems i faced, then with what creaks and with what cries of russian speakers it all happened . when ukrainian dubbing was introduced mandatory in movie theaters, then the language law, which you were the author of, then other bills that allowed us to expand this ukrainian world in ukraine if it didn't sound strange, is the humanitarian policy effective now during the war and does it meet the challenges we face now, these days, you know, russian-speaking people, so to speak, although 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 it was theirs not needed, now children are sent to ukrainian schools and they are gradually learning the ukrainian language themselves, 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 immigrants in that including in the central western part of our country, and ukrainian language courses are full of people who are now coming to lviv or even to poltava, they are interested in learning ukrainian language and we are helping with 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 there a professor of the resident mohyla academy gave a lecture, and she very interestingly talked about the nations that they are being built around the old language. this is like, for example, the greeks who restored ancient greek

or the jews who used and cheaply then use hebrew. there are nations of empires where the language is imposed from a mountain or from above, and there are nations like like ukraine, where you are, there is a certain community that communicates in a certain language , and this language is independent, among other things, the outstanding origin of this community unites this community and the state is built around the language. this is what happens in the czech republic or in croatia or in ukraine, for example. so what is the language for us - this is the main thing around which our state is built , that's why such a big blow is being made to the ukrainian language, that's why belarusians are afraid that belarusians will learn belarusian, because the language will make them a community, not just obedient executors of the will of the emperor, who in this case is the russian emperor again. so this is very important. our humanitarian policy does not pay enough attention to this , 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 the building of the ukrainian state as the ukrainian army 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 destroy them or evict them, as it happens in those regions in the east where the deportation of children is carried out, the deportation of ukrainians. well, yesterday there was literally a video of some people from the east of ukraine traveling through russia, and on them they are russian-speaking they believed that they had come to their brothers, and the russians there attacked them on the road, called them banderites, and they felt that the essence for them was precisely the essence is not in the language, it is an effort to destroy all ukrainians, but in order to make all ukrainians not to destroy, 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 , including weapons , because everything is connected in this issue. film festivals almost this year, there are almost no ukrainian films or events dedicated to ukraine, and well, it is very sad because at this time culture can be the very medium that will constantly remind the whole world that we are at war, that we are defending ourselves and the fact that ukrainians are a heroic people , and about cinema, if possible, literally for a minute, we created

a situation at the end of the 19th year when ukraine produced at least 50 feature films a year, how many are produced now, who knows these films, even these films which now they are mainly films shot either with private funds or those that were started 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 a foreign state do not realize the full importance of this and sometimes even perceive it as a hostile culture, evidence of this is the failure to present the shevchenko prize this year . so, unfortunately, this is a very sad situation, but it seems to me that we should do everything in order to convince the ukrainian authorities to once again return culture and cultural policy and cultural diplomacy to the priorities of our development. thank you, mykola, for the conversation
