[000:00:00;00] i want to take it and run and listen, watch and read, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye, because time is catching up with us, ostap slyvinsky was with us, a poet, translator and literary critic, and let us remind you that despite everything, a book forum is starting in lviv, and i hope that the book forum will continue forever, that the book form will actually allow us to feel this normality, this familiarity and eventually bring us back a little to such a normal life, now is the time for news, anna eva melnyk is ready to share information about the most important things. greetings, colleagues, thanks for yours work, the editorial office of the news continues to work in this edition, in particular, about how austria sees

the end of the war in ukraine, stay with us. but first about the situation at the front. the russians are sending elite landing troops to storm the melitopol direction. oleksandr shtopun, the spokesman of the united press center of the defense forces of the tavria region, reported this. assaults are unsuccessful and the next enemy unit is thrown in place of the dead. at the same time, the defense forces continue to exhaust the occupiers in the zaporozhye direction. more western ukrainian fighters have already advanced from 100 to 600 meters. in the kyiv region , law enforcement officers exposed a corrupt prosecutor. he demanded $45,000 to close the case against one of the entrepreneurs. the official was detained while handing over the second part of the bribe. the investigation is ongoing. the suspect faces up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property. about hundreds of ukrainians return from

the occupied territories every day. alyona lunova, director of the human rights center zmena, told about it. civilians can cross the border of the russian federation and ukraine in the sumy region. this checkpoint works only for the return of ukrainian citizens. lunyova added that russia's federal security service often interrogates those who want to return home. i would like to note that since the beginning of the great war, almost 3 million ukrainians were deported to the territory of the aggressors. i don't think it looks like an ordinary crossing point, because it is a military necessity to have such a crossing point for monetary purposes, but it is functional, and that's what i think, for many, especially residents of the occupied territories becomes a litany, just a lifeline for them to leave the occupied territory and return to the areas under the control of the government of ukraine. for the first time in 18 years, ukrzaliznytsia is launching a connection between

lviv and warsaw, the route... will pass through the ravarusk checkpoint from october 15. this was reported by the ministry of infrastructure of ukraine. the connection will work in the format of a transfer, since ukrainian tracks differ from european ones. the train in raviruruska will always be waiting for a flight from lviv or warsaw, so passengers don't have to worry about being late for a transfer. destroyed houses get a second life. in irpen, a house is being restored, where more than 100 families live. the object is financed by the fund for liquidation of the consequences of armed aggression. this was reported in the kyiv regional military administration. builders have already started repair work there. the roof and facade will be gradually insulated, windows and balcony blocks will be dismantled and new ones will be installed. peace in ukraine can be achieved only through negotiations with the russian federation. this is the opinion of the minister

of foreign affairs of austria oleksandr schalleng. the official told about it in an interview with bild. the government official says that peace is always achieved at the negotiating table, not on the battlefield. at the same time, a member of the ukrainian government , whose name the publication does not mention, said that ukraine will not negotiate with russia, even if the pressure from brussels increases. the war in ukraine and security in the world are the central topics of the 10th warsaw security forum. more than 2,000 participants, including politicians, military and security and energy experts from europe and the usa, are taking part in the event. they came to the west, came and ukrainian delegation. let's see what our specialists discussed with foreign partners. this year, the ukrainian delegation at the forum is the most numerous - 240 people, these are politicians, public figures, experts in the field of security,

energy and international relations. the supply of weapons to ukraine is one of the main topics raised by representatives of the ukrainian delegation at international events, at the warsaw security forum, it is the most relevant. we are from transatlantic. we are waiting for a real strategy for victory, which means not delaying the supply of weapons, but this means to give everything that we expected last year, well, it is very important to explain here, a protracted war scenario with such minimal resources as they give us, this means defeat, and they should be aware of this and should already start mobilizing and preparing for a big war , meanwhile, representatives of foreign defense agencies are monitoring the situation in ukraine, in particular, the junior minister of the armed forces of great britain noted the successes of the ukrainian army at the front and emphasized his position on helping ukraine. it is obvious to us that sovereignty

ukraine is the sovereignty of europe, and if we do not defend our position against putin in ukraine, then who will be next? this really worries me, because this is not only ukraine's problem, it is also our problem, we are responsible, because if our support stops, then ukraine will be forced to stop fighting. it is not necessarily only about the netherlands, it is about all those countries that support ukraine. much was said at the forum about ukraine's membership in nato. our experts see the allies' understanding and readiness for ukraine's membership in the alliance as decisive will be the word of the united states. there can no longer be a debate about whether ukraine should or should not be a member of the alliance. it should be, it's only a matter of time when. well, you see, it has already become interesting, the level of discussion rises to another, already to another plane, and what will happen if we accept ukraine with a frozen situation, and is the fifth article of the alliance ready

to enter into force, if russia or ukraine is next will continue their war for the return of the territories, well, actually we heard the answer that if a member is a member of the alliance, then all these rules do not apply, otherwise reading cannot be, respectively. if we say yes, then we go to the end, if we say no, then we simply support ukraine. the ukrainian delegation at the security forum was headed by deputy prime minister olga stefanishyna, whose visit to the forum in particular is a signal for her polish colleagues. i have such a stopover in warsaw, just on my way to brussels for the meeting of the ukrainian nato council, where we will present our program, and it is important that i conveyed the signal that any tensions, in our relations, they do not reflect all ukrainian-polish relations , this is very important, i consider it a message from ukraine, and moreover, it was equally important for me to convey to my polish colleagues and international colleagues present here today that

ukraine has created all the conditions for the depoliticization of this process, and we are actually moving in this direction , present at the event and the ukrainian military who were in russian captivity, they emphasize the need for liberation. i was in captivity for four months and i still, i haven't fully regained consciousness, my husband is in captivity, i can't, i still can't recover, because i wake up every day, i fall asleep with that thought, that with the thought that , that he is there, that he is being beaten, that he does not have any normal medical examination, that he is not treated, that is, the food and conditions of detention are as terrible as possible. in addition to security issues and ukraine's euro-atlantic prospects, the forum also discusses energy challenges, in particular, ukraine's readiness for winter. maria chernihivska, ihor antoniuk, for espresso tv channel from warsaw. there are no

opinion, people who defend ukraine and create the future is already now, the main and interesting thing in the program verdict by serhii rudenko, from monday to friday at 20:00, repeat at 12:10, information day of the tv channel in rozpala, we analyze the most important events and the most important trends, several western officials spoke publicly about , that ukraine. nato, the stockpiles of weapons and ammunition are running out, which they can give to ukraine without risk to themselves, this means that production should be increased as soon as possible, cnn writes about this, for example, the head of the nato military committee, admiral robaer, during a discussion at the warsaw security forum, noted that the bottom is already visible in the stockpiles of weapons , i quote, we give ukraine weapons systems and ammunition, which is great, but we do not give them from full warehouses, we started to give them from half-filled or less and these reserves

are now ending and so on sinenivtsi cites several relevant quotes. oleg synyutka, people's deputy of ukraine, chairman of the subcommittee on ensuring the activities of people's deputies, is in our studio. we came unexpectedly, or perhaps predicted in a very difficult situation, it is not connected with the situation even on the battlefield, but with what is happening in international politics, and all the signals, or signalers, the american situation, it shows that the international consensus in favor of ukraine can getting worse, we got, we got robert fico in slovakia, yes, who is viktor orbán-hungary, no need to explain, and so gradually-gradually. we see that the processes are not very accurate. well, i do n't think we need to doubt the support for a moment our western partners, and there are very clear statements, including the secretary general of nato, that the west will be with ukraine as long as it is needed by ukraine, and

the key to any development of events is actually not in the west and in western countries, the key lies within ukraine and in the ukrainian language. the government, because the first thing that is necessary for our country is the absence of corruption, which the west reacts to, the west reacts to the change of its public opinion, because democratic societies always react to the opinion of the people, which can be most disturbing in western societies of people, information from ukraine about corruption, well, no one will understand if any western country provides assistance. military, something is being stolen in ukraine at this time, and that is why i believe that the ukrainian authorities should act very actively in the fight against corruption, here is the key to the help of the western world for ukraine, and we have a decision of the european parliament to approve

a separate program for financing ukrainian needs, the budget of ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros, including 18 billion already for the next year, that is, it is a signal that the western world is together with ukrainians, together with ukraine, but there is a second component inside our country, which is actually an irritant for the western world, it is the unprofessionalism of ukrainian diplomacy, these stories with the appointment of unknown, unprofessional people without diplomatic experience in bulgaria, this absolutely, i consider unnecessary position during the speech of president zelenskyi at the un general assembly in relation to poland is actually a mistake of ukrainian diplomacy and ukrainian the diplomatic front, because the diplomatic front is no less important than the front in the east or in the south of ukraine, and today we have very

dangerous signals. orban, hungary is a situation that no longer needs comment. indeed, slovakia, 23% of slovaks gave. the palm of primacy of the party headed by the man who today received, by the way, the mandate to form the government, and who publicly declared that the war was started by ukrainian fascists, this is a very great danger, the situation in poland on october 15 in poland, there is a high probability that that they will come to the polish diet confederates, who have never been distinguished by a pro-ukrainian position, and maybe then someone will kill them as an ally and then there will definitely not be a pro-ukrainian position, a situation where congress continues to fund the government in order to prevent this break in the financial system of the united states, the budget financial system for 45 days, and as a result

we have the line about ukrainian support excluded, so it is not a disaster, so after that our partners once again... confirmed the support of ukraine, by the way, we must thank the president of the united states, who after this incident held a conference with the leaders of the g7 countries , who spoke about supporting ukraine, who very clearly formulated a position in support of ukraine, but we have the resignation of the chairman of the house of representatives, which also does not bode well for ukraine, so there are two problems , which are not in the west today, two problems that exist in ukraine today, the first is corruption, and the second is unprofessionalism, unprofessionalism, which today is beginning to creep sideways, and the fact that weapons are needed, of course, what is needed, that what a weapon it is necessary in larger volumes, of course, what is needed, but weapons must eventually start to be produced in ukraine, well, there is no need to reveal all

state secrets, but artillery shells, but ukrainian missiles, but ukrainian means of communication, they must be produced... at the greatest possible pace , well, when i hear a year and a half after the full-scale aggression that it is time to transfer the country and the military and the economy of the country to military rails, this is the height of unprofessionalism, and what did they do for a year and a half, and therefore all these things are very, very difficult, therefore, today in ukrainian politics we need mature people who do not study , but who know what to do, who know how to do what, who have confidence, who will definitely lead the country out of this difficult situation that has developed today. mr. oleg, you actually mentioned about biden, about his position, and let me remind you that when it was against. that they are worried, they see more than we actually think they see about ukrainian corrupt people, they see everything, don't have any

doubt, they see and know absolutely everything, well, there must be someone who sees and knows everything, except, except ourselves, i don't mean us as specific people, but those who have information, that's not what we're talking about now, was a phrase, not a verbatim quote, but something like that it was said that military aid will of course remain, because it is in the interests of not only ukraine, but if corruption and the lack of reforms continue, then we can get rid of other aid from the west, in particular from the united states of america, and i have a question, if god forbid it so happened that, indeed, this question was already more acute, then about what it goes, yes, that is, where will we not get and

how critical is it for us? 2023, this is 46 billion in direct financing of foreign aid to the ukrainian budget, and not 46 billion uah, but 46 billion dollars, this is a huge amount, it is actually half of the ukrainian budget, this is an amount that completely covers all social expenses, the draft budget, which presented by the government for 2024 also provides for more than half of foreign aid from our countries, today we have no solutions, because as of october 4 last year we already had the decision to help western partners , today there are no such decisions in full, and this of course complicates the situation, but what i saw today while working on the state budget project is the height of unprofessionalism.

the draft state budget includes expenses for which the ukrainian parliament has not yet voted, i mean taxes on the incomes of individuals in the military, that is, personal income taxes, and they have already been included and distributed, absolutely, they have already been divided when the parliament has not yet voted that it's unprofessional then too bad if it is such a belief that the parliament is 100% under control and will do everything as needed by someone in power, well then forgive me, let's then admit that ukraine does not comply with the constitution, where it is written that we are a parliamentary-presidential republic, and these are big problems, or one more thing that i do not understand, uah 46 billion of excise tax from the oil and gas industry, the complex is less than the next project. next year's budget than it is in fact in 2023, it is in whose pockets this money will end up and who will

redistribute the oil and gas market and who these people who want to put these funds instead of the state budget in their own pockets, if this is not professionalism, i think that the budget committee is all about it, they somehow react, you know, there is a huge problem here, the bill is planned to be considered at the next plenary session , which concerns the personal income tax of military personnel, and tomorrow, the budget committee plans to consider this draft law 10.037, as of now there is no comparative table that would fully take into account all the amendments, and about which expertise we can talk, if by the 12th. these amendments can only be submitted today, well, i believe that the secretariat employees will work all night in

order to compile it into one table and by 8-9 o'clock in the morning this project will at least correspond to the form, but when then the budget committee and members of the budget committee will study it, it will be as it was last year, when the budget of the country was discussed in the budget committee for an hour, in the parliament for half an hour, well then it is not professional and not professional, and the question is not that it is necessary to speak, and then it is necessary to exclude here are all the holes that later appear during the year, here are all the corruption schemes that for some reason end up in the draft of the main financial document of the country. i repeat again and again, war is a huge challenge for the country, for the economy, but also for the government, and in war, one must act 100 times more professionally, 100 times more responsibly, 100 times more patriotically than in peacetime, unfortunately, that is not the case today, we agree with you, in our studio, oleg synyutko, people's deputy

of ukraine, now a short break, after... we will return, they tell us that we won't have a break , because we have a lot of topics to discuss, so we don't need a break now, mr. oleg, you touched on the issue of pdf, but yesterday, it seems, we had the conversation with danylo hetmantsev, that's what they said, in particular about pddfo, well, he says that for the transfer of pdf, it's obvious, it's obvious, but he adds here. that despite the withdrawal of the military income tax from local budgets, the revenues of local budgets will still grow by 6.3% next year. imagine, well, i think what i would like to discuss with mr. gitmantsev in his presence, because if a person says such things, then he is absolutely unprofessional, and there is nothing to discuss here,

but i don't want us to talk now...' about pddfo, because it is something so incomprehensible to people, there are two things that are on the agenda of the country right now, and the first thing is the ability of territorial communities to help the military, who today buys drones for the army, who today buys cars for the army, who today buys what what the military call consumables, territorial communities and volunteers, but the budget also provides for our soldiers, there is this moment that some mayors also say on our broadcasts that they actually also support this withdrawal from local budgets, and what it is proposed to direct this withdrawal from local budgets, i.e. today we are not talking about who will give this money, the community or the state, no, this money is planned to be redistributed not to

the armed forces of ukraine, but to two completely different ministries, the ministry of strategy and industry, and the ministry of mines and of the state intelligence service, and this is wrong, because the amount of money in the draft budget, the amount of expenditures for the ministry of defense is less than the draft budget for the current year, the war will decline in our country, and that is why i repeat again and again, territorial communities must have the right to help their military, those units, those units that make applications for purchase. and the second thing is very important, please tell me, who will build civil defense structures today, who will build fortifications today, and who will protect schools and hospitals today? the answer is very simple, territorial communities, then how can you take this money that will go to the civil protection of the population, which can be

directed to elementary air defense systems, it seems that the answer here is unambiguous, that is, i do not want the discussion today to be about a virtual tax from the income of individuals, because people will say very simply, that's how they steal there, they steal there, what difference does it make, where they steal, no, first of all, these things with corruption must eventually be stopped. the second thing is, we don't talk about who should manage the money, we do about who these funds should go to, and our position is very simple. 70% of these funds are guaranteed to go to the armed forces of ukraine and there can be no discussions, and 30% for fortification, air defense, defensive structures, storage, and this is normal, because people must be protected, and besides that, if the authorities decided to strike at decentralization by territorial communities

, then this is actually a blow at our movement towards the european union, let's just talk, boberenko, an expert of the bureau of policy analysis, mr. viktor, is in touch with us, we will remind represents the glorious sumy oblast and the city of sumy, in which representatives of our valiant special services detained the mayor of the city, mr. lysenko, but we would like to ask mr. boberenko right away what, in your opinion, is the background in this high-profile case, because official press releases report that so to speak , a fact: receiving a bribe or demanding, more precisely , a bribe in the so-called garbage case. mr. viktor, you have the floor. good health. well, first of all, it must be said that we have a case of not budgetary corruption, but regulatory corruption. when, how? well,
