right, so that later it would be better than you to relax and then accidentally get enemies at the borders on february 24, because you know how to promise good things, it is very easy to tell the truth and talk about what will be not just more difficult because it is negative ratings, as they say , well, you are so boring, so stuffy, but but these are the things that change us first of all that change us somewhere there is more sobriety that helps us grow so today well literally there are 30 more seconds and vitaly will talk about what he wants to say to our viewers of independence we will listen to him with great pleasure vitaliy is already in touch with us vitaliy i congratulate you now and we will add vitaliy portnikov to our airwaves it reminds me of terra espresso which today is called ukraine the price of freedom we are talking about the price and about freedom and about ukraine this is all about

as vasyl shklyar said, any losses in the struggle for independence will be incomparably less than the losses in slavery. today, our heroes give their lives to ignorant free residents. we perfectly understand that in any case with this country, which is russia, defeat, surrender, defeat - there will be millions and millions of victims, which we have already seen many times. and yes, now we have a lot of losses, but in any case, it is many times less than it would be if russia had put its bloody kirzovy on our heads here boot, well, the turkey is getting ready, we understand very well that not everything happens at the same time, especially if it is connected with every complex complex process like television, then i will procrastinate a little, it will still be ahead after we listen in italy, we will have portnikov yuriy fizer today we will not listen to see how ukraine was greeted by our various partners from all over the world. well, there were such

warm greetings. you know that there were greetings and help that was given to us. trends and stars of hollywood and scientists, famous athletes, famous people also congratulated ukraine on independence day ukraine today ukraine today we continue in italy with sports, stay in touch with us vitaliy, i congratulate you, please have a word with independence day, congratulations, i sincerely congratulate you i congratulate you on independence day, we are now meeting you here on independence square in kyiv, in a city where the spirit of ukrainian freedom and the spirit of the ukrainian state is so obvious. i remember very well august 1991, when we were gathering here for a rally against the communist party, when we spoke here vyacheslav chornovily and other figures of the ukrainian national-democratic movement when they

called for the first time it is possible to say this is already obvious before the declaration of independence of ukraine and few imagined that this independence would be declared literally a few days after the defeat of the putsch, but this mood that after what happened in the capital of the soviet union, ukraine must definitely choose its own path to development, this was absolutely such an obvious atmosphere that we all felt, which we all felt, but which on august 24, 1991 became the act of state independence of ukraine and then there were maidans here at this very place , maidans that decided not just the fate of our statehood, but also determined its further course , its european euro-atlantic choice , many of you were here on the maidan in 2004 in on the maidan in 2013-2014, i remembered how i conducted the same report from the maidan only at night

during one of the attempts to break up the maidan , i remembered how there was a truck with which we addressed people during the so-called march of millions on december 1, 2013, and i think that every one of these people, everyone who came to the rally in august 1991, and everyone who participated in the maidan in 2004, and those who starved on the granite are also standing here in the square, and those who were participants in the maidan in 2013-2014 and came here so that the maidan would not be dispersed literally in the dead of night, when this happened every time, each of these people can be called a warrior of ukrainian independence, and today , when the real soldiers of the ukrainian army are defending our freedom

. it was a very difficult independence , as it didn't just happen in the u.s. the first decade of ukrainian independence began when the ukrainian people's republic fell, but it managed to leave people with a memory of the possibility of ukrainian statehood. literally a block from the maidan on sofia square, the act of unification between the ukrainian people's republic and the western ukrainian people's republic was proclaimed for the first time such an act that spoke of the reunification of ukrainian lands literally a few meters a few meters of ukrainian land and how much was happening on them and how much this desire was felt here desire for statehood, i ask you to insert a question for you , which is exactly of interest to our viewers, because everyone asks you and i want to understand what the answer might be, i wrote us, i listened to your e-e

thoughts about the future and about various scenarios about what will happen, not just about the fact that it is necessary to tell people possibly difficult things and scare people better than to tell them some pleasant things that will not come true but will calm them down, what should be done in ukraine in order to defeat russia for that this independence be forever, first of all, and secondly, that ukraine can really be a strong state that can always defend itself. i think that we have to draw conclusions from these events that we are experiencing today, because it is very it is important to make the right conclusions, many say that this is not the first and not the last war between russia and ukraine. i am one of those people who believe that this is not an easy war. it is not an easy test, but this is the last such war. i am absolutely sure that after this war , ukraine will become part of the civilized world . will become a member of the european union and nato, ukraine will receive real security guarantees . this will not be easy, this will be very

expensive. it is true. but the most important thing is that we must always remember that we now have an absolutely incredible chance to close the page of our relations and our conflict with russia, which has been going on for centuries, as it was done by all the other nations that tried to get out from under the ruins of the empire and the speed of guardianship, as it was done by our neighbors from poland, as it was done by our friends from latvia, lithuania, estonia finland i want to remind you that all these countries were at different times part of the russian empire and now, in principle, they realize that nothing is in danger, that they are witnesses of this agony of the russian empire that is happening here on our land, and i am very it is important to understand why they have such a attitude towards the future because they have the nuclear umbrella of the united states because they know that if a russian puts the world of boots on the polish-latin lithuanian-estonian-finnish land

, such a conflict will begin, such a conflict will lead to the collapse of the russian statehood itself to the death of dozens millions of russians until the disappearance of russian cities from the very map of the world and this will be an absolutely deserved blow of the civilized world to russian aggression. i am absolutely sure that the russians will never go to a nuclear conflict with the civilized world and this is something that must be realized , that is why it is very important for us now to receive a security guarantee from nato. them to stop at our borders and never cross them again and we must draw a lot of conclusions for the first time conclusion we must have a consolidated society a society that does not believe in meaningless promises a society that does not believe with those who advised their own enrichment for the sake of their own political future will try to convince us that we can

come to an agreement with russia, and there have already been such people in our history. i believe that this is an absolute dead end state without forming people and even if ukrainians once again vote for such people in the presidential elections or in the parliament , a serious and very cruel retribution will await them, more cruel than during this war, so a consolidated society is a very important thing in a society that does not believe in nonsense to the promises, an anti-populist society is a very important thing, it is also very important that we were able to carry out all these reforms that the civilized world demands of us today, these reforms will not be liked by the majority of our compatriots, we must ignore this is not a pleasure, we must have politicians who will be ready to stake their future their political careers in dependence not on what people want from them who would like easy answers to complex questions, but to set their future in accordance with the future

ukraine's normal development is due to its membership in the organizations of the civilized world. in the first decade of independence, we always had a choice to be with europe or be with russia . our leaders were always running between brussels and moscow, between washington and moscow , hoping both there and there to take money and get rich, but nothing real. not to change, it was in this state that we approached the maidan in 2013-2014, to my great happiness , moscow's doors are closed forever moscow will never give us a ruble or exchange this ruble for millions of ukrainian lives and this the lack of choice of the ukrainian people, in principle, also creates a chance for us . we have always had a lot of compatriots who wanted to rush into the doors of moscow. people have always voted for pro-russian forces, he will actually deprive these people of life prospects , a promising future, and therefore all of us together have a chance to finally build a country without

idiots, this is very important, according to all these questions that we always asked ourselves for the first time in the years of independence, when we would ask ourselves, our society is not ready for statehood, how are we going to build this statehood, now this society is ready for statehood, now this society sacrifices the lives of thousands of people who die on the russian-ukrainian front for the sake of future statehood now this society lives under rocket fire under the threat of destruction of the infrastructure and this is only the beginning of this path, but we have to go through it with dignity vasyl contributors of viewers on youtube they comment and write to the tailor, well done, he brings ukrainians to the ground, not lies. like aristovych. well, i can agree here . finally, briefly, what is the thing that you vitaliy advised today to people who are not on labor in the rear, what to do and explain to people what a lot of work still belongs to those who will survive this war will prepare and also have to do a lot of work for global victory , because you know when people die, those are fighting at the front

, you think you are doing it here not all, but you can also do a lot of work so that when the war it will be over and the soldiers will do their work, we could do everything so that they would have appropriate remuneration, first of all, for their work at the front and that the country would have enough people who can raise and develop it, please, i can say one simple thing, our western sponsors give us a lot of money for the development of the ukrainian economy so that the whole life that we see here continues, however, the armed forces of ukraine are financed at the expense of ukrainian taxpayers, and it is simply necessary to realize that this is our money, our army really fights with western weapons, but fights for our money, that's why every person who is in the rear, who works for the ukrainian economy, who does everything possible to make this economy breathe in the conditions when vladimir putin wants to destroy it

, it's a very serious moment, i have to say what i think this is the most important thing, the rear always worked so that the army could live so that the army could defend the country so that the army could win. i am sure that everyone who works at his workplace changes the country and prepares for these changes in the future he is also doing a very important thing because in a dead country in a country without an economy without a working population without prospects there is no perspective of the armed forces because there is always a question that they protect and they protect this is what they protect peaceful life they protect a life that somehow has triumph i think that vasyl corresponds to the understanding of those people who help us from all over the world, they come here and see this peaceful life and see people just before our broadcast. i saw him walking here

the president of portugal, marcel, the guys from the sauce, who came to the summit on the crimean platform, or simply the head of a european state , nato members, members of the european union, arrived in kyiv , walks along khreshchatyk, sees people who look at russian military equipment, who live in this place, who do not leave the missile strikes and from drones who live on their land and are not going to leave it , every friend of every country, every head of state , every minister who comes here, he leaves here with the desire to continue this help and this is also a very important moment that we must understand that the vision that the ukrainians are not going to lay down arms in the direct and in the sense of these words is very important in order for us to continue to support us and continue to help us with our struggle for our independence for our sovereignty, they supported these values ​​that the civilized world has, and this is the symbiosis that is now very important so that dictatorships cannot defeat democracies

, so that democracies survive and change the world. thank you very much. congratulations. thank you. found time and talked about valuable important things on the air ukrainian on svobody on the espresso tv channel vitaly portnikov was with us a writer a promise we have such a figure journalist laureate of the shevchenko prize of ukraine ko tv presenter i see this russian equipment on khreshchatyk as they say what russian equipment is not khreshchatyk, but there is a nuance , uh, now there will be a short pause, and then we will watch with yuri fizr how the world congratulated ukraine on independence day. taras shevchenko resists his words on the chevrons of his defenders ideas in the hearts of millions of free people, his lines in battle songs at the front and in the rear, fight back, win the formula of our victory august 26-27, shevchenko is waiting for you in morintsy for the chefest festival in support of the armed forces
