[000:00:00;00] with the internal processes in the russian federation or in principle is not visible. and so, regarding the processes of the russian federation, yesterday's event in russia with the incident regarding the plane that crashed. how do you explain to yourself what happened, because officially, neither the defense ministry nor the kremlin are commenting on these events, we only have a statement about aviation, it seems that progozhen died . does this mean that putin does not forgive traitors and those who try to assassinate him, or is it possible that this is a scenario that is played out publicly ? i think that i was never a traitor to putin, but he became a sacrificial victim by putin. russia is intensively building a totalitarian regime. such victims are needed to convince the elite that everyone should either be on the side of the leader or, under no circumstances , question his orders. i think that putin is wonderful. knew the consequences of his demands on the wagnerians, he was aware that there would be

a so-called prigozhina institution, a march of justice, and maybe he was a participant in all these events, because you had to transfer the army unit closer to the borders of poland and lithuania and poles, the event of the so-called hybrid war, such possibilities are not excluded, by the way, and then he simply sacrificed prigozhin to demonstrate to the representatives of the elite that disobeying him or publicly showing some kind of disobedience can lead to similar actions, we see the construction of a stalinist totalitarian regime in russia type and fear among representatives of the russian elite and russian society with each such act of putin will only increase, which means that the russian leader will guarantee himself unlimited power in the russian federation at the time he just physically exists, putin is absolutely sure that he should be the president of the russian federation for life , and i don't think that there is anyone or anything in russia today who can convince him of the immorality of these

intentions. but in this way they simply took him out of the public space, that is, they agreed before this and all this was also a game for the public, i don’t think i think it’s a conspiracy , i think that yevgeny was brought in by dmytro voudkin, as well as others close to the parish, to people simply died, and this is connected with the reformatting of the activities of the so-called private military companies, both in russia and, well, where they are needed most, above all, in africa, where the main intelligence directorate of the general staff of the russian federation is currently carrying out quite intensive measures in order to replace by their own fighters, the fighters of russia. there is no need to be ashamed of this, you understand. wagner was needed when the very existence of the pkv saved the reputation of the president of russia, vladimir putin , in the circle of his western colleagues putin more there is no reputation and now in other countries of the world some private

military companies will act as support for dictatorial regimes, and absolutely i would say that the regular armed forces of the russian federation do not need to send mercenaries to the central african republic, there can be quite a lot of regular russian intelligence and military personnel there, that is, pvk wagner how will the military group of the russian ministry of defense simply be included in its structure and accordingly it will be managed from the kremlin there , or the minister of defense will now not be simply the defense minister it will not be necessary, there will be appropriate measures, which will obey the main intelligence directorate of the general staff and that will be the end of the pvk will be gradually eliminated or will be used there as some kind of private guard in order to kill his opponents of putin, it can also be simple, it can be regardless, very often the western press writes about the fact that the russian elites are not always satisfied with the way putin behaves, how the military leadership behaves, there were earlier statements by the western media that it was not putin who was being swayed

dismiss gerasimov and shoigu from their posts. what do you think about the incident that happened? and the death of prigozhin. she gave a signal to these russian elites, who may have been dissatisfied with putin's actions of the top military leadership of the russian federation, that they should shut up, keep silent and continue doing what this scheme was built in the kremlin. of course this is a very specific signal in russian letters you must obey or die in russia there is only one person who decides everything and that is vladimir putin if you do not agree you will be caught everywhere in russia in great britain in under the sky, vladimir putin does not forgive anyone obey or die and what can happen to such a totalitarian regime , they will either obey or try to kill him as it was, how do we remember and try the murders of other totalitarian dictators with the famous assassination attempt on hitler and putin, this is also wonderful understand that his paranoia will only increase every year autotralitarianism in russia is getting stronger every year and we do not even imagine the consequences of how cruel this regime will be

in relation to its own associates and own society, but also to the surrounding world, it will also broadcast the brutality of aggression regarding the disintegration of russia since the beginning of the large-scale war , many analysts, many political experts began to talk about the fact that the disintegration of russia is inevitable the prospect of objective prerequisites for the disintegration of the russian federation along regional borders does not exist in principle , because these borders are controlled by elites and special services loyal to putin. as for the disintegration of the elite along national borders, then the peoples of russia, who make up a small minority in the state itself, hardly have a real potential to create a proper independent state, with the exception of one or two or three republics, the withdrawal of which from these members of the russian federation will only strengthen this state itself and its future aggressiveness. and finally, we are many what are we asking today about this, in particular, ukrainians on the streets were asked by the military

, what is the independence of ukraine for you personally, what is it associated with, and what is the independence of ukraine, for me it is an opportunity to create a shelter, if you want for of the ukrainian people, every national state. if you want, this is a bomb shelter, it is an opportunity to save yourself and defend yourself, to protect the people , civilization, language, culture from the enemy, the importance of this is to develop your future in a safe world without fearing that you will be forced to take some actions that are not typical for your country and your people, and that is why for since childhood, the independence of ukraine has been a matter of justice for me, and i really hope that the ukrainian state will survive, develop and be an example of the fact that every nation in europe has the right to its

own statehood and no pseudo-empire can impose its ideas on him about how he should live and what he should do on this earth. thank you very much, mr. vitaliy, this is not vitaliy portnikov , journalist, publicist and writer, on the 32nd anniversary of the restoration of ukraine's independence , the guest of our broadcast, we talked about events in russia, in particular, about the death of prigozhin, and also about what independence is for ukrainians. well, one of the constant attributes or elements of celebrating independence day is the greeting of the first person in the state of the ukrainian president, and this year's we showed a fragment of zelenskyi's address at the beginning of this broadcast from the president to the president, and even from year to year, these speeches differ in content , duration, and entourage, but they are undoubtedly expected by both ukrainian citizens and political observers, because the meanings embedded in the texts can be said a lot about the course on which the country is moving. together with my colleagues, i analyzed several of them, in particular, on the topic of whether there were references to russia in these addresses and in which presidential

speeches these references were present, so let's let's see the speech of the late first president of independent ukraine, leonid kravchuk, on the occasion of the first anniversary of ukraine's independence, is publicly available on the internet, it is more than 4,000 words in the text about the languages ​​of the multi-sessions to the story about the ukrainian people, about what needs to be done for a happy future and russia and belarus as well as the russian-speaking population, here are the fragments of the preserved text of the speech , russia, belarus and ukraine were destined by history to live on this planet next to each other, to be neighbors, a commonality unites us many cultural processes, the phenomenon of the life and activity of many outstanding writers, artists, scientists, political and religious figures of the economy of our states naturally and organically complement each other, which , with normal interaction, can serve as a good foundation for the rapid rise of the well-being and wealth of the peoples in ukraine, there is no problem of the russian-speaking population

, the problem of the russian minority kyivans already today have all possible political, economic and cultural rights in the ukrainian state and are full-fledged citizens of it. but we we hope that the ukrainians in russia will also have peace. the next ukrainian president is also leonid, but already kuchma, in his address on the occasion of the 11th anniversary of the restoration of independence , mentioned a little about the historical past, but focused more on the new tasks that arose after entering the second decade of independence in in his speech, kuchma, like his predecessor, did not ignore russia. international authority, it actively integrates into european and euro-atlantic structures, while developing good relations with its neighbors, primarily russia , we can be proud of the fact that all these years ukraine has remained a center of civil peace, avoided

acute civil conflicts, or tanks in the capital, if we analyze the speech of president viktor yushchenko on the occasion of the 15 th anniversary of the restoration of ukraine's independence , there will be many stories of numbers and literature in it. yushchenko emphasizes the equality of all citizens and thinks about the future of ukraine in geopolitics and obviously without russia, because yushchenko, unlike the two leonids, does not mention it at all, it was during the presidency of viktor yushchenko that the concept of nation appeared in the political language , says his co-author yuriy ruban; moreover , yushchenko was the first to publicly advocate ukraine's course in the eu and nato, and also spoke about the unified ukrainian church, which later years later president poroshenko implemented without interfering in church affairs , but with faith in historical justice. i

know that the people will welcome the formation of a unified of the local ukrainian orthodox church, which will take its place at the round table of other churches and religions at the will of the people , the course of our country towards membership in the european union and nato will be implemented. on the development of the economy, president vtikach mentions that the truth is also the movement towards the eu, for the refusal of which he will later pay for his position . well, where would we go without russia? the russian federation not only does not stand in the way of the process of european integration, but on the contrary promotes its unification . europe needs an economically strong democratic ukraine, which together with russia contributes to strengthening stability not only in the region of central-eastern europe, but also in the entire

eurasian space, and such relations with our northern as a neighbor, we restored the shortest possible terms . experts will say this later, and it is not surprising, considering how yanukovych resigned from the post of president, he goes into hiding, i will remind you on the night of the 21st to the 22nd on february 14, at the height of the revolution of dignity, viktor yanukovych left the country with his closest entourage. and later from russia in 2021, he said that, i quote, ukraine ceased to exist because it became a country fighting on the wave of revolution. ukraine will get a new president , he will be petro poroshenko and he will remember it is not only about the speeches for the anniversary of the restoration of independence, but also about the entourage around, because poroshenko welcomed the ukrainians against the background of military equipment . poroshenko mentions the european integration of ukraine to strengthen the security of the state and also observes a moment of silence in memory of the fallen ukrainian defenders in general about the military

poroshenko says a lot in this speech , particularly in the context of building the ukrainian army, later the army will become one of the foundations for poroshenko's next election campaign army language faith force of speech is clear in ukraine there is an enemy of our international needs further support because our enemy is a country that occupies the ninth part of the landmass and has a military the budget is dozens and dozens of times bigger than ours and finally our parade is a signal of the enemy ukrainians are seriously ready to fight for their independence in the future the free peoples of independent ukraine with these words in the first year of the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine president zelenskyi begins his greeting in the heart of the ukrainian capital on

the empty maidan of independence, zelenskyi without the usual ties and embroidered shirts for ukrainian presidents in a green t-shirt with bristles, which in itself reminds ukraine of war, the main accents of this greeting zelenskyi's ukrainians are the free people of independent ukraine in the footage, there is also a parade of equipment, although the equipment is broken in russian. in his speech, zelenskyi specifically switches to russian to explain that it is easier for ukrainians to understand johnson, who speaks english than i quote, to get away with rapists and looters who did everything in russian for us ukraine - this is all of ukraine, all 25 regions without any concessions or compromises, we do not know these words, they were destroyed by missiles on february 24, donbas is ukraine and we will return it no matter what the path is, crimea is ukraine and we will return it

no matter what the path is, whether you want it or your soldiers die, our lands are strong, although zelensky in his speeches often balances on the border between politics and emotions, the western press notes that it helps him to increase the number of ukrainian allies well, at this moment we have a very important turn-on yuriy fedorenko - commander of the company of attack unmanned aircraft complexes achilles of the 92nd separate mechanized brigade named after the basket chieftain ivan sirk joins our broadcast i congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes thank you for finding the opportunity to tune in today yuriy, well, you are one of hundreds of thousands of those who celebrate the independence day of ukraine in the trenches and what does this day mean for you personally , independence is not only rights but also responsibilities, because independence includes the right to choose one's religion and the opportunity

to exercise it in this life in general, that is why we are now fulfilling the part called civic duty. each of us with volunteers who stood up for protection after the start of a full-scale war were aware of the risks associated with that, but we are, you know, such an important driving force and what i sincerely want and my brothers, i am sure that every ukrainian so that our children can celebrate this holiday, the independence day of ukraine and the truth to the end and defeat the enemy on the battlefield, this is how the russian forces behave on the independence day of ukraine. there is a lot of talk about the fact that the russian forces like symbolism or, more often, mocking shelling in the direction where the tv and

how do they celebrate this day in general, do you know how this morning started , well, i have to tell you about it because i am proud of the fact that he breathes the same air as his brothers. today, my boys burned the dvigator at night, mother c19 and at 4:00 in the morning someone calls me and says happy day of the independence of ukraine and sends accordingly a video where two cannons are burning, the next battle is going on and was written 30 minutes ago, the enemy bmp would have burned down in the bakhmut direction and the senior calculations that are now shoulder to shoulder in the public air how says the commanders, i wish you good health and i sincerely congratulate you on independence day, and everything to the team would be a gift, so i will say. so , on independence day, the enemy is thundering and burning , just like on all other days, we are bringing victory as close as possible, the only thing

worth remembering the enemy is vile and cunning, and unfortunately, i think that today there will be shelling of civilian cities and martyrs and rockets are completely likely, therefore, every ukrainian should remember that a full-scale war is going on in ukraine, it is necessary to observe the rules of security measures, if there is an air alarm, we must go down to shelters and remember that as long as we are alive, we have the opportunity to fight and fight for our freedom , independence. this is very, very important. value your life, your relatives and loved ones, and i am sure that together in addition to ensuring that a powerful result is necessary, let's dwell on the victory of ukraine , how do you see it, what priorities do you set for yourself, accents, what should victory look like, what does it look like in your eyes, we literally need a few seconds.

even there is definitely me, you came back to us like this about the victory as you see it and how you think it should be and we will try to restore it, we must understand that these are leading positions there is not always good internet there is not always a good connection but it is important to communicate today with ukrainian soldiers and those who choose independence for ukraine, the editors will now tell us whether we were able to restore contact, besides that, i see a very lively and important discussion in the chat under our broadcast, in particular, you write a lot about the political aspects of ukrainian of independence about which of the presidents contributed, many contributed little to this independence, the comments are different and we thank you for being active in the chat, mr. yuriy, er , we have reconnected with you, i hope yes

yes indeed we have certain we understand everything the victories with which it was won were the de-occupation of all our territories within the limits of 1991 generally recognized world and the second is an endless flow of financial investment in modernization, the development of the defense force is very important to us after the victory in which i sincerely believe in ensuring that the defense force becomes dynamic guarantees and social benefits were also developed, and everything else military was provided at an independent level so that intelligence remained in the troops and so that those people with combat experience were motivated to continue serving in the armed forces of ukraine . the russian federation will not go anywhere in 30-50 years as history shows , something similar to what is happening now can happen. but in order for this not to happen, we must be on guard, of course , strong and powerful, we will have a strong

army, we can ensure the safety of our borders of ukraine is an extremely attractive country for investment, money will flow here and we will have something to develop the economy and, as a result , education is very important, because education within our statesmen is one of the five. the more 12 indicates, the more she will never be, she lives more safely, more protected, has more powerful social guarantees and opportunities for self-realization. i think that everyone who is a father of a mother has the main dream that his child is safe and that he can find fulfillment in this world, mr. yuriy in conclusion, we have about a minute of time, i wanted to ask you this question about whether you believe that this war is the last between ukraine and russia, you said that, as history shows , something similar may happen in 30-50 years, and how

to make sure that nothing like this happened. what to do in order for this war to be the last. have a strong and powerful, well-coordinated army. high technology . think twice whether he should join this war as an active partner thank you thank you for enabling take care yury fedorenko - commander of anti-strike unmanned aircraft complexes achilles of the 92nd separate mechanized brigade named after the basket chieftain ivan sirka guest of our broadcast from the front lines about what is for him the independence of which the ukrainian military sees as a victory well, the fact that ukraine expects a war with russia was also predicted by the soldiers of the ukrainian insurgent army and ukrainian political prisoners who then witnessed the declaration of ukraine's independence in

in 1991, the ukrainian dissident myroslav marinovych mentioned this in particular. he spent 10 years of his life in camps and in exile and says that now the russian forces are tougher towards ukrainians than in soviet times. in addition , marinovych told why the russian forces do not recognize and will probably never recognize independence . my colleague anastasia potapenko of ukraine spoke with mr. marinovych on the eve of the anniversary of independence, now i suggest you watch a fragment of this interview, and look for the full version on the youtube channels of radio svoboda, by the way, there many different forms are timed to the day of independence, that's why you have the opportunity, time and desire, be sure to look, mr. myroslav, tell me how you live here , we meet here in lviv after

another russian attack, especially to the west . how do you live? one and only once we went to our personal place like this, we have a basement, but i thought to myself that if a rocket fell into the house, we would simply be put to sleep and freeze there, and after that we decided to surrender to the will of god. what do you think why this happened that ukrainians are again choosing their independence, why does russia not recognize, does not recognize the independence of ukraine and still, er, i would clarify the name of the state here. why does the russian empire not recognize the russian empire, we cannot think without ukraine. this is the main diamond in its crown without kyiv, er, it is

impossible to legitimize russia as an empire, because if kyiv is inside the state, then russia can claim our thousand-year history of statehood in kyivan rus and can claim that the baptism of russia is its historical event, so then everything is held then the imperial model works. and when independence was proclaimed in 1991. it was such a victory for the ukrainians. and was there an understanding then that the russian authorities would try to bring ukraine back under their control ? actually, there were discussions about this in the camps , i remember that upa soldiers

25-year-olds who sat with us in the camps. they were very skeptical about our rosy versions about the democratization of the soviet union, about the republics becoming independent, and so on. they talked about the war with russia if we we will become independent will be inevitable eh that is, it was still completely clear to the upa soldiers eh, we dissidents understood that for the empire it is eh that the empire may sooner or later go to the bank and it went in the end babanka but for me anyway well

there is already a lot of hope that uh, we will eventually, that people will be able to avoid this version, this is a question from the armed forces of ukraine now at the front in the offensive, ah, they are liberating the territories personally, you uh, believe in complete liberation and exit to the border with 1991 , including the crimea, so i believe... i just bow my head to the boys and girls who are at the front today. i bow my head to them because sometimes i get the impression that the trials they are going through are even greater than those the dissidents and political prisoners were going through . myroslava we are talking on the eve of ukraine's independence day in the second year of the full-scale invasion russia to ukraine what do you think, in spite of everything, it is still necessary to celebrate the independence day of ukraine, how

to do it, i am a person of an unofficial plan, i do not belong to the authorities, so i would like , first of all, that this holiday pass through the heart of each and every person of every ukrainian so that it is not so much an official but a personal holiday of every ukrainian, even those who have left, even those who have not previously been in contact with the ukrainian spirit . this day will be the day when this festive mood enters the soul, when

a person feels proud that he is ukrainian or ukrainian, you are watching a special broadcast of the svoboda ranok project. today we we are working for you a bit longer for an hour and a half on the youtube channel of radio svoboda, it is longer than usual, but this is the event - it is the 32nd anniversary of the independence of ukraine , which is celebrated today not only in ukraine , but throughout the world, so during our broadcast we talk about the most important things for the independence of ukraine, we communicate with the ukrainian military and ordinary ordinary ukrainians on the streets of various cities , and we also talk about the security situation in the regions because there is a large-scale war going on and the celebration of independence day has become more difficult than it used to be in these minutes. we say thank you to the viewers of the espresso tv channel , where we also worked for an hour, and to the viewers who watch us on youtube, we invite you to stay after a short break. we return to our broadcast and continue
