[000:00:00;00] in the city, there is a flower bed, and even if there are hollyhocks on the balcony, if you want to know how to help yourself and others, go to how are you.com, a new york court found donald trump guilty of fraud, how will the charges against the 45th president of the united states affect on his rating, what consequences the shutdown will have for ukraine, and when to expect a new batch of troops. aid from america, this will be discussed later on the air with an expert on international issues, bohdan ferrens. mr. bohdan, i welcome you to our broadcast. i congratulate you. let's talk with you today about the future america, well, it doesn't matter one way or another, but it affects us as well. a new york court found trump guilty of fraud, saying that the former

president of the united states could have cheated. paradise, that is, he exaggerated his wealth in financial statements, in order to increase the loans that were given to him, tell me, does this court decision somehow affect the further political career of trump? i think it affects directly certain political sentiments that will be, shall we say, quite possibly polarizing, yes in the united states election race. america. on the one hand, so to speak, trump 's electorate is mobilized in some way, and on the other hand, such a decision partly affects precisely those voters who may not have decided yet, that is, they are watching everything, but they have not yet decided exactly who to vote for , so as far as i know, according to the legal field, trump can

continue to run, yes, a candidate for the presidential seat, but on the other hand, it really can partially correlate with the electoral sentiment, now it will be interesting to trace how this will be used by trump's team and biden's team, directly, that is , democrats and republicans, and to be fair, the latest polls by the washington post and abc news, donald trump, attention, is ahead of joseph biden in the primaries. race by almost 10%, well actually for americans it's a huge number, it's a huge gap, and for some reason we have to talk about the trump phenomenon now , because despite all the accusations that are being made against him now, it turns out that the sympathy is only increasing, well, i think , it is so let's talk about internal measures, so it's still a little too early to really say how

it will be... in the future, the trend will develop electorally, but the sentiments really, let 's say, on the one hand consolidate trump's support, when such investigative actions take place, yes there verdicts, therefore, it clearly affects mobilization from the point of view of political, let's say, communication technologies, but on the other hand, it is now quite difficult to measure directly what... positions the main candidates will come out with in the final election, so to speak distance, because for now the primaries are taking place, let me remind you, it is within the political parties that the key candidates are determined, only later, once this stage of the elections has passed, it has been quite long in terms of time in the united states of america, then there will be more, let's say, intensified struggle between the key leaders of the democratic

republican party. candidates, and we should also not ignore the fact that in the traditional, so to speak, dimension of the electoral process in the usa, there is a part of americans who are already determined at the final and vote either for republicans or for democrats, regardless of which candidate is key, this should also be taken into account, and if we talk about those who can also lead the primaries in the united states from the republicans, then there are such names. these candidates are also in fact openly pro-russian, well, at least they are against helping ukraine, in such a way that we need to do before the elections are held in the states, and they will be held already next year in november. i have repeatedly recommended and said on live broadcasts that we

we have to abstract a little, no matter how strange it may sound, from the really political debates and processes of the usa, because the most risky thing is when the issues of ukraine want to include these...' processes in america, bohdan, look, look, how can we to abstract, if president zelensky, he is in washington communicating with representatives of both republicans and democrats, and says that it is important to make a decision now to allocate 24 billion dollars to ukraine, even before the end of this current 23rd year , otherwise, we hear from the mouth of the president, well, such a categorical phrase, otherwise we can lose... the war, so how can we abstract here? well, you, you misunderstood me a little, i guess you understood, i mean to abstract in the context of the us electoral processes , that is, to reach out, to convince our colleagues, to help ukraine, well, this is clear, this is

what is happening, what should happen, but give some directly specific comments about these or that, even sometimes the leaders of these or that parties. it's such a pretty risky strategy, i would said, even when we clearly understand that certain statements that sound, yes, from certain american politicians, they do not correlate in the context of support for ukraine, so we already went through certain such, so to speak, processes in the previous, election, races , and there were certain problems, so it’s really enough to... completely abstract, so to speak, from the subject matter from the processes that are taking place, but i would like to note that it is really, important, nevertheless, and it is good that we do not influence in any way

we should not influence the election process in the usa, but in that one it is time, which depends on us, to communicate as much as possible with representatives of both the democratic party and the republic, the republican one, to be precise. the bipartisan support has continued, and i am confident that we will succeed. and what other predictions do you have, will the americans manage to avoid a shutdown, because we know that their fiscal year ends on september 30, but so far there is no consensus and the actual work of the government may be blocked, it has already happened more than once, that is, they passed this process, and even more so when now again... electrification around the elections, so it is not excluded that such a thing will happen, but they will pass, i think, without special, so to speak, upheavals, there is the process of budgeting and determining

the future strategy of this it’s the 24th year, the year of the elections, and what was your opinion of president zelenskyi’s visit to the united states this time, because many international people said that it is one of the most significant diplomatic events of this season, in fact, how did you rate this tour ? i believe that take the opportunity directly in within the framework of the visit to meet at the highest level, yes, firstly with president biden, secondly with key politicians who make decisions in support of ukraine, this is indeed within the framework of a working, official visit and what we received and assurances of further support, a package of financial and military assistance, that is, yes, we can see the results directly, what is more important , it is really an effort, so to speak, to accept, or

influence, or motivate our partners to make those decisions now, which will allow us to receive help in the future, until the united states once again entered such pre-election races, i think it is very important to understand, within the framework of this visit, i think, a decision was also worked out to give us atakams, which became clear and known already after volodymyr zelenskyi got washington, from a political point of view, what does this mean, we have already passed the last milestone, we have already crossed the last red line, so to speak, well, first of all, let's go. again, let's wait, i.e. finalization, that was the information, i.e. there is, there is a good positive dynamic, i believe that this

the logical actions of our partners, yes, to which we really motivated them, argued and aspired, the provision of one or another type of weapons, again from our western partners, it often correlates with the phasing of the war, or with the way in which they have internal ... certain discussions are taking place both internally politically and between nato member states, so the positive is clearly being followed, we expect further more practical steps, i thank you for joining, bohdan ferrens, expert on international issues. canada announced military aid to ukraine for more than 482 million dollars. this is the result of volodymyr zelenskyi's recent trip to canada. in total, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, this country has given us a total of over 8 billion canadian dollars in aid. about the new package of military support, about how canada

helps us to rebuild the state and which reform it considers to be a priority , tania sanford amar, director of the project to support government reforms in ukraine, told in an interview with kateryna fedotenko. the broadcast continues of the national marathon only news. friends, from the very beginning of the full-scale war, you and i have united like never before, and the whole. the civilized world then united around our country, and one of the first countries that provided us with assistance, which became the driving force behind ukraine's support , was canada. of government reforms in ukraine, the director of alinia international in ukraine, ms. amar, i am very happy nice to see you here and first of all, i would like to thank you for your support,

thank you to all the canadian people, the canadian government, for all the help you are giving us, it is really appreciated. thank you, and thank you for this interview invitation, i think everyone knows that canada and ukraine have a special relationship that goes back to independence, when canada was the first to recognize ukraine, we also have a huge ukrainian diaspora in canada, so they... are very active in helping canada continue to support ukraine. i would like to start our conversation with president volodymyr zelenskyi's last visit to canada, how important do you think this visit was and what is canada's strategy for supporting ukraine? i can't speak for the government of canada, of course, but as

a canadian, i think it was incredible. i think it's very important for ukraine to continue to engage with the world to make sure that the aid that's been given since the beginning of the war continues, i think we're seeing, unfortunately, that there are a lot of forces that are against the support that has been earlier, especially on the eve of elections around the world. i believe that president zelenskyi's visit was incredibly important, and he brought so many important decisions to this trip. i'm sure you've seen that a lot of military support has been announced, a renewed free trade agreement and many other decisions have also been made, so i think that's very important. yes, and speaking about support, especially military, during this visit to ottawa, prime minister justin trudeau announced a new tranche of aid to ukraine in the amount 482 million dollars. where should these funds be directed and what do canadians think about this, what do they think about this support

, is there any dissatisfaction that it has been a year and a half since the beginning of the great war, and canada really spends a lot of money to support ukraine. do they understand why all this is being done? as a taxpayer in canada, i am delighted that the canadian government has promised to provide ukraine with this amount of money. you know, that's always been a fear of mine as a survivor. has been here for a long time and has great love for ukraine, i was afraid that maybe this support will decrease, and we are now really facing our internal challenges in canada, and maybe this is important for ukrainians to understand, we have challenges that we have not faced for several generations, i mean the economic crisis in canada, we have, for example, a crisis in the health care system, it's very difficult for people to even find doctors, and this may surprise a lot of people who watch our interview, also to... it's hard to find housing, food has become more expensive now,

food is very expensive, and someone can say , let's take care of ourselves first, solve our problems, so i'm very happy to hear that our government continues to support ukraine in the way you need it, let's also talk about your experience being here and working here, you've lived here for a period of time, and it is far from one year, much more, you saw ukraine then and you see now, what are the main differences? yes, there are huge differences and thank you for your... don't mention the number of years, i've been here a really long time, it's in the double digits if you're talking about years, and i also lived here when i was a student, so i have something to compare it to, i think ukraine has made a lot of progress now, and i'm very proud of how much ukraine has changed, now ukraine has just burst

forward in digitalization, and ukraine can compete with any country in the world in this, so i think there is a difference. i also worked with the government of ukraine before the revolution of dignity and after, and that's even a big difference, i mean, before the maidan, we couldn't even talk to anyone in the government, and the only way to work here is to work directly through the regions, if it was possible, and it certainly did not contribute to significant changes at the state level, now everything is completely different, government institutions and ministries are our partners, and we work with them, they have all the necessary knowledge and skills, sometimes they just need partnership to realize your ideas, this year, the project you are working on, supporting government reforms

in ukraine, launched a new initiative, community-led inclusive recovery, please tell us what it is about specifically, how you are with communities and why it is inclusiveness, we have developed this clear mechanism together with the ministry of reconstruction, i think we understand that, despite the fact that ukraine is still fighting and until victory, there is still a certain time, we must prepare, we must be ready for this, there is no sense just sit back and wait, so this initiative is also to help communities prepare for when they can start rebuilding. and such reconstruction can already be partially carried out in those communities that were liberated. our focus is to understand that the scale of reconstruction is simple huge. we all understand that it will take

an unprecedented effort to rebuild and that everyone will have to participate. and the best way to make this process effective and responsive to people's needs is for the communities to lead the recovery, but we understand that there are some challenges here because , for example, a community has been affected, people have moved out, you may just not have all the resources you need, the expertise you need to develop a recovery plan and lead that recovery, so our initiative aimed at those communities that would like our help to develop a recovery plan and then implement it. we are here to share our experience. where can i apply to participate in this program? therefore, representatives of any community

can go to the decentraliza.gov.ua website. and they can apply on this website. because this initiative is really aimed at supporting the independents. communities, community leadership that respects decentralization, it is not top-down governance where central government governs restoration in each community, it is really an attempt to give these communities the opportunity to make decisions themselves. are there any communities, buildings, areas that are a priority for your project. we do not set priorities ourselves. but we worked with the ministry of reconstruction, studied the legal framework, and now we have made a selection of criteria. and you know, i can summarize the first two criteria , which is that the communities must be on the list of those most affected by the war, according to the legislation of ukraine, and secondly, there must

be appropriate conditions for recovery. we we often talk about the fact that we should go to the most affected. it's something that's talked about a lot, and these areas definitely deserve to be a priority, but at this time we also have to take into account whether people can actually come back and live there already, so it's important for us whether it's safe there now, so these are communities that have been badly affected by the war, and secondly, it has to be safe for us to be able to work there, so that people can go back home and go back to something that resembles their previous life. another topic which i would like to discuss is our desire to become a member of nato. as far as i know, you worked hard... developing the concept and strategic documents for

ukraine's nato membership. how would you assess the progress in this area and do you think we can become a member of nato next summer , for example, the summit in the us, to answer this completely, i would say that first of all, it is true that we worked on the annual national program. nato with ukraine for several years, and this plan is designed to essentially make sure that that ukraine is a country that should have the same values ​​as the members of the alliance, right? therefore , i think that from the point of view of ukraine's progress, first of all, it cannot be denied that ukraine has paid a greater price than any nato member. you know, from a military point of view. for me, there is no doubt that ukraine should have been in nato a year ago, so

there is no need to prove anything. ukraine is far ahead of nato members in understanding the biggest challenge to democracy and the rules-based world order, and only therefore, i believe that ukraine should be in the same row, i really think so, and i always hesitate to say something, even. a little negative about ukraine, which is my adopted country, because i am not ukrainian, but i think it is important for us to reflect and of course know that no country is perfect, and ukraine has room to grow in terms of reforms, and this is part of the natural process which of the reforms is a priority for ukraine, in your opinion? you know, i often hear this question, and it is difficult to choose a priori. but now i will say a not very popular opinion. i think that civil service reform is the most important reform. this is the reform that citizens

will probably think about last. but if you don't invest in your civil service, in your government, i think it will be very difficult for ukraine to cope with all the other priority reforms. one of the tasks of our project since the days of the maidan was to strengthen the government of ukraine with the help of experts who go to help the ministries in managing reforms, they do not have enough people, we see how people regularly leave the government and not only because of salaries, but also because of the policies left over from the soviet union, so i think we have to fix that first, we have to invest in that and then everything else will come. thank you for your comments, for this interview, and of course for all the help you give us. thank you. thank you. in the chernivtsi region , a culinary festival of sincere borscht was held. together with the displaced people, the people of bukovyna prepared

50 liters of the most famous ukrainian dish according to a local recipe. our correspondent ivan siretsky saw how borscht unites ukrainians. he did not leave hungry. delicious the unity festival was organized by benefactors in the ancient city of khotyn. fifty displaced people were invited to join the place. residents to prepare traditional red borscht in the bukovyna style, because the most famous ukrainian dish not only brings gastronomic pleasure, it also unites people. the main idea is for each internally displaced person to feel like a whole family in the communities in which they live, they can distract themselves from any other matters and thus rally around some common ideas, this idea is exactly cooking borscht. each region has its own borscht. for example, in galicia , mushrooms are added to the dish. hutsul borscht is made from white beets in the carpathians, but everywhere this borscht is sincere, because it is prepared with love and

ukrainian hospitality, which is known all over the world. bukovinna has its own cooking secrets. on the meat, there will also be red beets, which are included everywhere in borscht, necessarily with beans, there must be greens, garlic, and of course it is served with lard. we also have a region. where there is a lot plums, they dry it, so i decided to add a little chernoslebu to our borscht, which we are preparing for our guests today. the ingredients were cut by adults and children from kharkiv region and donetsk region, kherson region and luhansk region, after collective preparation a mass feast of borscht, there is something unusual about it, not like homemade borscht, a completely different taste, it is still a union, no matter what, because even while coming here... we talked, we exchanged impressions, we became friends, our children became friends, and that's

nice, and borscht is a fairy tale, super, we tried it with mushrooms, very tasty. the traditional bukovyna borscht turned out to be truly incredible, rich, bright red in color and with a rich aroma, and most importantly, it was prepared by wonderful people, delicious, have fun and make new friends, the first library of board games in ukraine was opened in the capital, its employees say, they come to play as children and adults alike, individually or in groups, our sonia hryhorchuk saw how everything looks. card and mobile, strategic and adventurous among the variety of board games, everyone can find one to their liking. now you can choose your favorite in the central library named after taras hryhorovych shevchenko. i like

monopoly more and all kinds of games can be played there. with my parents, i really like it, there are some interesting things, maybe there are fantasy and so on, now the library has almost 140 board games, and the collection is actively replenished with new ones, this idea belongs to the union of board game publishers of ukraine, they came up with this idea to us five months ago, them it was very insulting to our publishers of sleep games that board games are not represented in our libraries as, for example , in foreign libraries, some of these games have existed for decades, such as the well-known monopoly, while others were produced very recently and talk about realities the life of ukrainians and the exploits of the armed forces. i'm impressed and i like it a lot, now you can

just come here, play here with some people who are not you... and leave with a good mood, both children and adults are waiting here, but if everyone had enough space and was comfortable, they ask to be warned about their visit, this can be done, in particular, on the library's facebook page. unexpectedly, many people responded on the networks when they saw the opportunity, they constantly come, constantly call, from september 23 we start working on saturdays, precisely so that people who work at the same hours as the open library, have the opportunity to do everything still use our service. at the moment , you can play board games only in the library hall, but over time it will be busy players will be allowed to take them home. sonya hryhorchuk, vadim verba, tv channel rada,
