[000:00:00;00] against the background of corruption, the facts of which become known to ukrainians literally every day and every week, we had a big fifth column, this is a branch of the russian orthodox church. a week ago , the former vicar of the kiev-pechersk lavra , pavel lebedya, was released from the pre-trial detention center on bail of $900,000 . today it is already being reported that he was allegedly hospitalized in the lavra itself, which should have been freed from the monks of the ukrainian orthodox church of the russian orthodox church, because some people in several buildings of the monastery were barrekosed, that is

, in view of what is happening around the lavra around the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, is it clear what the final point will be in the branch of the russian orthodox church in ukraine, well, look, i am one of the authors of the law 821, which they do not want to bring into the hall and it is not called about the ban of the uoc mp, so i would like to introduce certain corrections to your survey, because our law calls it about banning the activities of the russian orthodox church in ukraine, the uoc mp is simply a component of one of the components of this huge russian orthodox church, because the religious experts said that they are part of it, they did not separate from them although they keep saying whether it is not so, but it is so and that is why all structures related to the rpc, which are the rpc in ukraine , should obviously be banned. this can only be done by law, our law 82-21, in favor of which many regional councils spoke out by banning the activity of this essentially public organization, e.e., as such, which is part of the people's republic of ukraine and as such, which poses a threat to the national security of ukraine, this

is the only way that complies with the human rights convention by the decision of the european court of human rights, and if it is accepted, then lease agreements must be on the side of that, this must be done throughout the country, there is another government law that is proposed to be done through the court er court debate through the court , but this way that the government proposes will last a very long time will last for years and the society will continue to be in fact unprotected from the russian propaganda that the rpc in ukraine continues to conduct as an ally of the russian army , in fact they are fighting us from the middle and it is extremely unfortunate, but even this toothless government law is not brought into the hall that the ruling party of the servant of the people claims that they do not have the votes for it, and some hierarchs of the rpc in ukraine claim that more than a third of the deputies of the ruling party do not want and are not

ready to vote for it, and this, of course, very regrettably shows how strong these russian influences are, including and within ukrainian politics, they do not want to vote because they are parishioners of this church. do they still count on the support of the church, as was the case and always in ukraine during the parliamentary elections, for example elections or presidential elections, that is, this large network exists in ukraine , branches of the russian communist party, and this branch has always been used by one or another political forces, that is, the current ruling team. which you called absolutely correct and they are ready to turn a blind eye to the fact that they are conducting anti-ukrainian activities throughout the country, they are really afraid to destroy this network, but

in addition, a large part of them are also parishioners er, this so-called church and very often divide their views er, and even before the start of the full-scale invasion, they spoke and spoke with a completely different rhetoric. and this rhetoric is the rhetoric that helps destroy our country from the inside, and they all take a direct part in this who does not want to put our law to the vote, and even the government one, these are people who actually actually support the war, because for the russian orthodox church , there is another person who directly supports the war, who also supports russia, and actually already lives in russia, this is petro symonenko, the leader of the communists in sbu handed it to him suspicion and told about how petro symonenko fled from ukraine just when the occupiers were coming to the borders of kyiv, i.e., to the kyiv region, and how he was taken out by this special special forces of the sbu says that it has gathered evidence on

petro symonenko, he is incriminated by public calls to seizure of state power in ukraine as well as the justification of war according to yours, what is the reason that these suspicions are announced too late when people are no longer in ukraine when it was clear and so long ago that the communist party of ukraine was still banned in ukraine in in 2014, this party , which always worked for moscow and they never hid from it, why such a delay is simply from the ukrainian special services. well, you know , it seems to me that the beginning of an authorized invasion , despite the fact that the war has been going on for 10 years. eh real for almost 10 years this is actually such a real rubicon uh what should hmm after which should be counted completely differently i mean a full-scale invasion why after a full-scale background invasion all these people are not suspected

is difficult for me to say but we see how the same priests of the russian church behave in ukraine, i recently listened to the address of one of the bishops of the russian church against whom it is true that there is a precautionary measure , but he continues to address, humiliates the ukrainian language, mocks it essentially degrades the dignity of every ukrainian through youtube through mass media, they introduce and continue to carry out their propaganda, sharp activity, it is time not just for suspicion, for condemnation, and i know that this is being done against many of them. and it is good that the sbu and other law enforcement agencies do this, but there are so many of them that without completely banning these structures and relying more decisively on all the propagandists of the russian measure in ukraine , it will be more difficult for us to win in this war against the russian aggressor, we will definitely win, but the victory and the values ​​of human

lives, as well as very it's a pity that the corruption of certain representatives of the government is related to russian structures , the communists are increasing this price, they banned the opzj for a long time , they only banned it last year, i looked and counted how many deputies from the party medvedchuk was elected to various authorities, to local authorities, to district, city, village councils, and these people turned out to be more than 4,000. 4,000 deputies are now elected from a party that is already banned in ukraine, which is hostile to ukraine, but they are not they are working, and they have not lost their mandate; moreover, they , for example, join the election commission at the local level , block the work of these election commissions , influence the political process, that is why they

are allegedly banned, but in fact there is no ban, they continue to work in the parliament, lead committees, although they are now called differently in the parliament. but in fact they are the same people . but the most important thing is that they are even called the same in local self-government bodies , that is why this ban is so ersatz. propaganda on many levels in ukraine, who can stop it, who can nullify their powers, because it turns out that there is no party and there are deputies who received a mandate from this party, it turns out that on behalf of this well, voters who voted for this party, they conduct their activities there and it turns out that we all live together under the laws that are initiated and, including , adopted by those people who belonged to the anti-ukrainian political party and to the party that worked all the time in moscow, this is true and

very often this the party is an ally of the leading political forces and i think this is the reason why when there are not enough votes in the parliament , these mps from the upsj are turned to so that they vote for the ruling party and that is why they continue to be allowed to lead committees to influence the political process, the same thing happens at the local level , there must be political will of the ruling party of the president's government, and he thinks that they are simply obliged to show such will. thank you, mr. mykola, for your participation in the program. live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are currently watching us live on these platforms, please like this video and subscribe to our e-resources at on social networks, i will remind you that we are conducting a survey on youtube . we are asking you today whether it is necessary to ban

the activities of the uoc mp in ukraine. yes, no, your option . please write in the comments below. strategist oleksandr hara p oleksandr i congratulate you, i am glad to see you on our air, it is mutual, let's start with the visit of the minister of defense of china li shanfu, as already announced, he is visiting russia and belarus this week, and more precisely, on august 14-19, he will also be in in minsk and in moscow, in moscow, he will participate in the moscow conference on international security. well, accordingly, he will meet with colleagues from the russian federation from belarus, and there, what do you think we should expect from the chinese, and isn't this visit so demonstrative and demonstrative? on the part of beijing, against the background of the misunderstandings that arise between beijing

and washington, the latter, in particular, regarding technologies that the americans want to ban from selling to the chinese, you know, after the meeting in jedi, which was initiated by ukraine and organized at a very high level saudi arabia immediately received a phone call from the minister of foreign affairs in china to his colleague, p lagrov, where he assured that they would continue to deepen their partnership without restrictions and so on. in this way, in fact , china showed that despite the attempt of ukraine er, create a certain platform where it will be possible to discuss the real parameters of a possible conclusion of the war and a peace agreement with the russian federation that china will be held by the russian federation and you you are absolutely right that against the backdrop of, let's say, the failure of the united states to establish normal pragmatic relations and reduce the level

of confrontation between the parties , i want to remind you that after blinkin's visit to well, there were certain positive signals . show something, the situation is normalizing, but the chinese did not want to do this, but with russia, which is not a junior partner, which is bigger and increases its they show such commitment to chinese aid because they are, let's say, conditional allies against the west, and of course that's why they will coordinate their efforts. i also want to remind you that just last week or the week before last, near alaska, together with the chinese naval forces, the russians took part in joint maneuvers and such in a way that threatens the united states in that region. i will not mention this year and last year's joint training near

taiwan near japanese territorial that is, this is such an eyebrow, yes, an indication of the fact that there are such beads here. the alliance is strong and they are actually like-minded about what is happening in the world. how do you evaluate the statements of the ukrainian side about the participation of the chinese representative? saudi arabia in these negotiations about the fact that it is good that china has joined, it is clear that the more countries that participate in burning the formula of mir zelenskyi, it is good, but is china ready, for example , to discuss not the formula of mir zelenskyi, but the formula for the defeat of russia, because well formula

zelenskyi's mir zelenskyi is, in principle, a formula for the defeat of russia, because according to this formula, russia must withdraw from the territory of ukraine and then there will be some kind of peace talks. this is, of course, also what china constantly says, since it positions itself primarily with the global rooster , that they are fair, they did not interfere anywhere , they did not lead a war, although this is absolutely false if we recall its vietnams, korea and the conflict with by the soviet union well, that is, that is, propaganda in totalitarian authoritarian regimes, it works the same way, we have always defended ourselves and you adhere to international law. but by and large, of course. the entire territory of ukraine was freed from illegal occupation, including the autonomous republic of crimea and the city of sevastopol, as

this will weaken his ally putin. will mean that the less powerful positions in their own seats raised in relation to taiwan will be that is, they are not interested in the fact that russia was uh-uh defeated because it will mean that the west has united and its efforts have brought such a result and thus it will motivate not only the west, but other countries in order to unite and defend certain interests, if we are talking about the identification region - this is the four, where there is the united states, japan, australia, and of course , this is also a partnership between the united states, japan and south korea, i'm not talking about strengthening taiwan because of course the chinese don't like such things. they would like that if ukraine didn't lose completely , well, at this stage, it's for sure that, let's say , russia is left with a part, now they

they will not say that they are accepted , yes, in principle, in the document that was published on february 24 this year, china's political position on the resolution of the crisis in ukraine, they started with attention to the territorial integrity of sovereignty, but you know, just to declare such a principle without the requirement that ukraine, the aggressor, which they do not consider russia, by the way, withdraws its troops from the autumn internationally recognized territory of ukraine, if there are no such points, then it simply remains such an empty phrase, so the chinese are not interested in the fact that the conflict is in ukraine was resolved in accordance with international law for ukraine to restore its territorial integrity, another partner of russia, poland. during the last few weeks , guns rattled near the polish border, and

lukashenko said that he had instructed to the prime minister of belarus to talk with his polish colleague and resume the dialogue because this dialogue was interrupted because the belarusians were conducting military exercises near the suval corridor, guns were ringing on the border with lithuania and poland, what did the self-proclaimed president say we will hear from belarus, lukashenko instructed the prime minister to contact them, that if they want , let's talk, let's have relations, we are neighbors, and neighbors are not chosen by god, but they have the main parliamentary elections on october 15, and this is a parliamentary republic. of course, now they need to inflame the situation in order to show that they armed the country correctly and rearmed it, therefore, on october 16. it is unlikely that they will make

any significant changes that are beneficial to them and to us. they demand a lot from us and the past. it speaks to our interest in the previous word, i slandered russia's partner, not poland, but russia's partner to belarus, it is meant that the belarusians are very active. some short war with nato countries in order to then sit down at the negotiating table to agree on something, about some kind of peace, some geopolitics, some borders, some new red lines, above all what this pseudo-president said, definitely this demagoguery, and frankly, looking at e- lukashenka's state and putin's state, are they hardly from god, but about whether russia is planning to attack

nato member states. i think in the long term, they also hoped in principle that after capturing kyiv in three days, then the next thing will be something, either poland or the baltic countries, in order to actually suppress uh, that means uh, let's say the expansion of nato , how much do they think that this is a threat , and the most important thing is that they dream of yalta 2:0 to divide borders, restore spheres of influence and so on, but now it is clear that all the forces are thrown at us, even literally , the prime minister of finland said that they are not very worried about what is happening on the borders and said that since there are no significant russian forces on the border, they are all involved in ukraine itself therefore, the maximum that russia and belarus can do is provocation , it can be some kind of ulcer, of course, the easiest way is to use illegal migrant refugees in order to destabilize

the situation and provoke poles or lithuanians to some kind of harsh reaction or subversive actions. now they are capable and these are calls that come on, americans, you are taking nuclear weapons from the european continent, and we will remove the weapons from belarus that putin promised to place there, it also looks quite like this well, it's funny because it absolutely does not change the situation in any way and does not require the united states and its allies to make any changes to their nuclear plans and to the means that are on the territory of european countries , that is, russia will try to create a conflict situation, but definitely not right away , that means there trying to create borders in such a brazen way as they did with ukraine, polish defense minister

mariusz blaszczak said that poland will give an adequate response to the provocations of private of the wagner military company, and in addition, poland wants to strengthen the eastern flank of the border with us weapons, the apache attack helicopters of the united states of america and abrams tanks should close the gates of brescia, he said this, considering how much e-e and north atlantic aviation poland is putting effort and energy into that in order to equip this gate, relatively speaking, to western europe, which er are trying to break through in a different way, whether the belarusians are provoking or not provoking, or whether the countries of western europe have enough opportunities to simply clamp down with sanctions

lukashenka so that he simply didn't even think about it. and he didn't even say publicly that we would show something to europe or whether the sanctions policy is sufficient for europe and the world in connection with the fact that lukashenko is putin's accomplice and speaks with a semi-aggressor, or should these sanctions have been tougher and crueler against belarus, first of all, poland is an example for ukraine to follow in how it arms itself. and this is not only the purchase of the most modern weapons from the americans, but also in south korea, and of course they review those structures and deploy force and means for

in order to prevent any e-conflicts from the territory of belarus , i understand. if we are talking about the sanctions policy, then it is quite successful from a strategic point of view. china, if we are talking, for example , about the supply of dual-purpose goods , primarily chips for their missiles of military equipment . here, but also the purchase of energy carriers, the same can be said about india, which buys in principle it is the leader in the purchase of russian oil, and it now refines and sells it. these are the same europe and the united states. of course, there is room to increase the pressure on russia and , therefore, on belarus. since we know that the entire belarusian economic miracle was caused by connected exclusively with the transportation of russian energy carriers to their territory and therefore putting pressure on the main partner of the country on the elder brother. then we can

influence belarus. $ the expert community actually says about it, but there are positive moments . last week, in fact, such information appeared that saudi arabia is in negotiations with the united states, and this means that in principle they can make concessions and listen to the americans in order to increase how about oil , you will be on oil and accordingly compensate for possible tougher actions in relation to russian oil, and so that it does not bend the energy market to that, and there is such a hope. well, of course , the philosophy that was introduced in the last package europeans, this is actually forcing the implementation of sanctions. i think that this is the right way. i am already telling them that , in principle, the coordination between those who accept the sanctions should be improved at the national level, because in europe there is a problem that

the european union makes decisions about sanctions, yes, as bureaucrats, but the implementation of these sanctions depends on national governments, and some of them are not, let's say, for example, you can ask the same hungary or the same greece, which turn a blind eye to certain violations by their own companies, and there is another direction of these sanctions which was and remains relevant for the world, this is the grain corridor and the so-called grain agreement. although the agreement probably cannot be called the grain agreements that were with the russian federation, which the russian federation renounced on july 17, violating all agreements with jordan and guter putin is going to visit turkey, the turkish press writes that this visit will take place in the next few days. although i read that this visit was planned at the end of august, god is a sign that it will happen, but journalists and

journalists in turkey claim that the administration of president erdoğan, despite the arrival of the head of the kremlin, intensified diplomatic relations with the united states of america, ukraine and the eu countries, the aim is to strengthen contacts on the restoration of the grain agreement in a probable extended format. with russia regarding this grain corridor , to which in principle they should not have any right at all. something is being negotiated with a terrorist who is constantly terrorizing, who is constantly blackmailing the whole world on the right, and you know, in principle, russia knows how to create a new reality, and when this black sea grain

initiative was launched, the russians actually managed to take out the northwestern part of the black sea from the actions of eh mean international maritime law and eh then. of course, they have already worked out tools that are not in the blockade , such as the smu. at first, you remember in 2018 they blocked ukrainian ports in azov of the seas and then of course they moved it to the black sea of course we have to talk about the restoration of freedom the next voyage and not the restoration of the agreement as such it is clear that it is only a letter but on the other hand unfortunately the russians have leverage well first of all, the presence of the fleet, and the most important thing is that the world needs the grain of both ukrainian and russian images, and therefore, for example, any blockade of russian parties that would be logical , of course, is not such as to attack him

because a large number of countries will suffer well, in general, food prices will rise even more globally, and we have to listen to this terrorist, in fact , he uses his voice. well, this is a tradition. evil, they are now using it again already against the global rooster and trying to fool their heads, you saw during the same africa and russia when putin threw all the blame on the europeans and americans as if it was their sanctions that led to an increase in prices for food and even an attraction. i didn't see it. it wasn't generous when he was handing it out there by the dozens, which means free grain, including grain stolen in ukraine. but if you also remember, the president of south africa said that africa doesn't need gifts, they need

freedom of navigation in the black sea . and so they could simply buy the grain they need, that is why we are in such parameters , you will be in such parameters. turkey is clearly interested not only in using this as a foreign policy factor that they agreed with putin to plant at the negotiating table, let's say this er means the subject, but they are also interested in feeding their own population and also exporting, including to the same global south, because turkey is among the top three consumers of ukrainian grain in that, of course , and cardigan will try everything to bring putin back to this agreement . thank you, sir. just give me an honest plea. he is running away and we have to finish. it was oleksandr khara , a diplomat. we are

friends. on youtube and on facebook thank you for watching thank you for your support i say goodbye i wish you good health take care of yourself and your loved ones goodbye in hawaii fire devastates almost a hundred dead the deadliest fires in the united states in over a century we are talking about it today on the bbc news ukraine live and from london i am evgenia shilovska, the tourist island of maui was the most affected, the historical city of gaine was hit by fire, while 96 people are known to have died , the authorities warn that the number of victims may be much more, hundreds of people are considered missing why fires are so deadly and how they are related
