[000:00:00;00] but by sharing one's own background, it turns out quite well to build good relationships precisely at the horizontal level, which now solves a lot of things, because official official communication, it remains, it works, but when there is an opportunity to write to someone, of course, but they decided what they chose word at the donor conference, and what are they saying, in particular, about the continuation of support... to ukraine, we are talking about financially from the european union, what are the pitfalls here now, maybe? certainly, there will be support, it continues and will be to continue, because the cleaning of the territory of ukraine is not only a problem of ukraine and ukrainians, it is a global challenge, territories that are now unsuitable for use in agriculture, they were a source of food for a large number of inhabitants

of the planet and actually now remain under... supply chains and to ensure the food security of the world, so the issue of demining the territory of ukraine, i repeat once again, is a global, global challenge, on which the whole world is rallying. well, i don't know if you heard me or not, though i wanted to ask specifically about the economy, are our partners ready, have they even discussed these issues in croatia about financial assistance, about the support of ukraine's economy by our western partners? once again, we are talking about humanitarian demining, the support of western partners in the direction of humanitarian demining, i am authorized to talk about humanitarian demining, and so our partners will continue, they continue and demonstrate their necessary support, one of the proofs of this support was the signing today in zagreb, the ukrainian-croatian intergovernmental agreement, which is aimed precisely at the development and acceleration of humanitarian

exchange. mr. ihor, thank you very much, of course, ihor bezkaravainy, the deputy minister of economy of ukraine, talked about what was happening in croatia, it was about demining and europe's help in this process on the territory of ukraine. well, we are moving on, the autumn session of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe has begun. they will talk, in particular, about a just peace for ukraine and the deportation of ukrainian children. they are waiting for the adoption of a resolution on citing the study of the legitimacy and legality of the refusal . term limits for the current president of the russian federation. let's talk about it now with our members of the ukrainian delegation to the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, people's deputies, and first, oleksandra ostinova, a member of this delegation and a people's deputy from the voice faction, joins our broadcast. mrs. oleksandra, i congratulate you. glory to ukraine. good evening. glory to hero. well, as far as i understand, today there was not so much talk about illegality

stay. in his post as president of the russian federation, this will be said in the following days, today they were talking about ukrainian deported children. what exactly did you hear that was important, were there any real mechanisms discussed for the return of the children or additional mechanisms for bringing to justice those russian criminal officials involved in this crime? well, in fact, you know very well today, such a soulful session is crazy. on ukrainian children, because the very little ukrainians who succeeded were present at it to return from captivity, their father, who fought for these children, followed them to the russian federation, and it usually makes a great impression when diplomats and parliamentarians from other countries can see what is happening and listen to stories about how we cannot take away our children, like 20, about 2,000 of our children, and that the small

number that was sent to ukraine is less than 5%, this is of course a huge tragedy, and it has been condemned more than once by both the couple and everyone , european institutions, and even that at one time, a warrant was issued for the arrest of putin in gaza, it was precisely because our ukrainian children were actually taken away and illegally detained on the territory of the russian federation, so everyone understands that this is a huge problem, everyone is talking about violations. of human rights, about the violation of the rights of these children, but unfortunately the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe is not the body that can, say, issue an arrest warrant for putin or send peacekeepers to take away our 20,000 children, but the fact that such discussions take place within the walls of europe parliament, this is very important, because again, all parliamentarians hear this, today there was a large number, precisely, mr. borys tarasyuk invited, we had a large number

of diplomats, they were...' ambassadors of other countries and they usually report further, the most important thing for us now is to fight for the return of our children. and in what way, maybe they have some advice of their own, or they are just studying this situation, you say that the paret is not the platform on which, which, which can help in this matter, but nevertheless, the question itself the return of our children was announced here, by the way, madam oleksandra, we are now adding one more member of this ukrainian delegation, mrs. olena khumenko, also a people 's deputy already from the servants of the people faction, i don't know, ms. olena, did you hear my question, this is how the european deputies reacted to this story of ukrainian children, there were testimonies. mrs. oleksandra told us now, maybe you have some information about what they are thinking of doing in this connection, but, first of all, i saw, first of all

, congratulations to everyone, congratulations to the audience, congratulations, kolyzhanka, and, i'm one of the co-organizers of this event, and sitting on the... panel, i watched our colleagues, the members of the assembly, and i can tell that many of them just had tears in their eyes, because these stories are impossible , listen calmly, what happened, and we showed a video, ah, it's a video from the movie children for putin, which is written by lesya bida, a journalist from the independent, and there were also testimonies of girls who connected, sisters, and it's, ah, it's, it's impossible to look

at it without tears, and our, our colleagues, they were very touched by it, but also about about the topic that was discussed in relation to the agenda at the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, the talk about a just peace for ukraine, have we had time to talk about it these days or not, ms. oleksandra? no, it hasn't been discussed yet, and oleksandr, yes, i'm sorry, no, it hasn't been discussed yet today, it will be discussed in the next few days as well as i want to say that there is still a quite powerful russian lobby, which they tried, for example, to remove from consideration the question of putin's legitimacy, but it was left, and it will be to be considered on friday in pairs, and in fact we now understand that in fact... every day there is at least one event or one resolution or, one statement dedicated to ukraine, of course, today there is a very big, very big challenge for us, so that we see the events that are happening today in israel, we see the events that took place very recently

in nagorno-karabakh, which of course divert interest and attention from ukraine, but nevertheless, every day the word ukraine is heard in pairs, we have such support as a couple, i very little saw, you know, not the parliaments of the world. of international structures in general, because they were the first, it was the first international structure that expelled russians, who are no longer allowed to participate in the meetings of the couple, very naturally i would like to see russians not even allowed on the threshold, and this issue has been raised more than once our delegation that anyone who is a citizen of russia does not even have the right to work in such a structure, because they are fsb officers who, in fact, through their work, try to find information, influence the decisions of the same european deputies but there is a unique structure that took a leadership position, the first, for example, to recognize russia as a terrorist country, and now , when we talk about the fact that russia provides the same hamas, for example, with weapons, they understand that we are talking about terrorism, and today

, when ultra-radical movements and ideologies in europe were discussed, every second speaker, every second who stood up and spoke, all spoke about russia, because everyone understands that russia is the sponsor of these right-wing radical groups, that russia is the sponsor of terrorist organizations, and that it is actually olena's country itself. now, ms. olena, are there any other voices that are skeptical about the end of the ukrainian-russian war, are opposed to helping ukraine, or is parie so unanimous in supporting our country? i would say that the party is unanimous in these matters, yes the organization, because we can see it from the decisions made, in particular those mentioned by mrs. oleksandra, yes, that we left the debate on putin, they will take place on

friday , there will be a debate tomorrow on thursday, this is this all-encompassing action for ukraine, which will include full support for the president's peace plan and the recognition of the gen-holodomor as a genocide of ukrainians and support for the creation of a register of massacres and a call to the core group, which is working, consists of representatives of various countries and is working on working out, creating, the future model of the special tribunal, so that they already reach an agreement, and that's why this model was , the one that suits ukraine was chosen, there are a lot of issues, today at the political committee in the morning, this solution was voted committee and tomorrow it will be brought to the hall, there was no amendment to it and it was voted unanimously, then, as we can see , it is clear, i also want, i want to point out why

such foreign meetings are important in general, because now, in particular, the budget of ukraine, what concerns the social articles is completely , almost fully supported by international aid, and let's now talk about some social indicators that have been included in the draft state budget for next year, a short story and then return to the discussion, please, in the draft state budget of the budget for 2020, the fourth year, the cabinet of ministers set a minimum salary of uah 7,100 from january 1, and uah 800 from april 1, the minimum pension according to the government draft of the main estimate in 2024 is uah 2,361. inflation for the next year was set by the ministers at the level of almost 11%. we are returning to the studio, we are talking to the people's deputies and we will talk not only about pere's session, but in particular about the question... it is settled, our viewers can see it now, what will happen with

social assistance from the state in 2024, let's talk with ms. let's start with oleksandr ostinova, is there any reason for concern at all now, well, in fact, if we talk specifically about the budget, all the revenues that ukraine currently receives as a state are spent on the war, and we perfectly understand that we as a country are now a warring country, therefore 100% of our earnings as the state, that is, the taxes that will be paid... ukrainians go to cover the salaries of the military, to purchase equipment, to purchase weapons. most of the social benefits that were just mentioned in the budget, the same salaries there, they are covered at the expense of our international donors, that is, every month we have about 15 million billion dollars, i apologize, comes to the budget from the american side from the american budget, and about one and a half billion euros comes from the european union. we know that they have undertaken to allocate 50 billion euros to

ukraine for the next four years, which will allow us to ensure the stability of these payments. on the other hand, we understand that we now have a little problem, nevertheless, in the united states, because the aid package was not voted, another one, which would help to preserve exactly these payments , direct revenues to the budget, but we understand that this is not, let's say, the political upheavals that are currently taking place in the united states, regardless, it does not depend on ukraine. therefore, as soon as a new speaker is elected there, the speaker in the united states in the way that he was removed recently, such precedents have never been removed ms. alexandra, by the way , we will definitely discuss the situation in the united states during our evening broadcast, in particular, let's go back to europe, because we started with of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe and we add, that is, the question from elena khomenko, we are talking about social assistance from the state in 2024, dependence on, in particular , our... partners, we know that some

countries are trying to block this assistance, maybe they discussed it behind the scenes , solemn meetings, official meetings in pare, about this, please, mrs. olena, you know, i will return again to the resolution that will be voted on tomorrow, and it calls for ukraine to be provided with all the necessary financial and technical support , such and such so i don't think that our, let's say, our likeminded partners, our colleagues, our friends, they will block, or they will make any pushbacks, back in this matter. thank you very much, two people's deputies and members of the delegation of ukraine at the meeting of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, oleksandr ustinov, the voices faction, olena khumenko, the servant of the people faction were...' we are on the air, thank you very much once again, and now less than

let's go back to other topics for a minute, don't switch, i thank the defenders every day, every night when i hear the powerful work of the ppo, you are our heroes, you are the heroes of our time, you are the ones thanks to whom we can fall asleep and wake up, breathe and dream about our blooming future after victory. the fact that ukraine is independent and free today is thanks to you. thank you for your protection. in spite of everything, energy workers are restoring, building, installing, connecting, everyone is doing their best in their place, but all this will not

work if you do not make your one small but such an important effort, share the world... support the country. found in israel seven more ukrainians in the south of the country - stated the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine. these people were considered missing. it is also known that about 300 ukrainians cannot leave israel, and about 150 from the gas sector - said the spokesman of the department, serhiy nikolenko. about three hours ago, hamas militants fired about 100 rockets at the israeli city of ashkelon. fires are extinguished in the city. earlier, hamas stated that they are open to discussing a possible truce with israel, since, i quote, they have achieved their goals, at the same time that israel is moving to a ground counteroffensive on gas sector, this was reported by the minister of defense of the country, yoav kaland. according to the associated press, more than 1,800 people on both sides died as a result of the hostilities.

i will remind you about the origins of the israeli-palestinian conflict, my colleague, kateryna danylovych. let's see. in 1948, according to the decision of the un , two states were proclaimed on the historical territory of palestine - israel and the palestinian authority. we recognized the latter in 1988, although at that time ukraine was called the ukrainian ssr. the palestinians did not agree with the decision of the un, and not only them, the army from the seven arab states began military operations against israel. during the year , israel inflicted a number of defeats on the arabs and captured a large part of the territories. allocated by the un for the palestinians, as well as a part of jerusalem. the global israeli-arab war did not end there. in 1967, during the six day war, israel captured the gaza strip and the sinai peninsula in egypt, as well as the west bank, including east jerusalem in

jordan. since then, there have been at least three more large-scale conflicts, as well as two palestinian intifadas, or palestinian liberation movements. of their territories with the emergence of hamas is connected with the intifada. hamas is an islamist militant movement for the liberation of the palestinian territories. in its charter, the movement aims to destroy the state of israel. its heart is the gaza strip, the territory between israel, egypt and the mediterranean sea. in 2005 , israel withdrew its troops from the sector. since then, hamas is not only a militant group, but also a political party in the palestinian authority in the west bank, israel, the united states, the european union, the united kingdom and five other countries have recognized hamas. in general, or its paramilitary wing by a terrorist group, ukraine is not included in this list. kateryna danylovych, the only news on suspilny.

member of the knesset of israel yevhen sova joins our broadcast. mr. yevgeny, i congratulate you and thank you for joining. if possible, the latest information from you, what from...' is it calm on the streets, in the city where you are now, please, congratulations andriy, well, look, the latest information is not from the streets of israel, but literally a few minutes back , the speech of the us president joe biden ended, it was devoted to the situation in the middle east, you know, i want to say that here i am a member of the knesset for 4 and a half years, before that i was a journalist for 16 years, i can tell you with absolute confidence that this is a historical speech, a historical speech, because... as we remember, many presidents were on the side of israel, american presidents, and israel and the usa are the main strategic allies, but such a speech with such a message, and above all a message to our enemies, this is iran, this is hezbollah,

do not even think, open second front, i this and this speech is supported by the arrival in our region of the aircraft carrier fort, which is already near the shores of israel, plus a second carrier is also coming here, beyond all doubt, this story, and we would like it to remain at this level, so that we because biden talks a lot about the holocaust, he talks a lot about the fact that in the 75 years of israel's existence, israel's main goal is to preserve the safety of not only its citizens, but the jewish communities of the world, and the footage that, i don't know, have you seen viewers of this footage, when hamas fighters, hamas terrorists are taking women, children, and old men captive at gunpoint, these crazy shots are released when we see hundreds of dead bodies of our fellow citizens, many of them still unidentified, at this moment, of course, such a speech is certainly you know this, so i'm even trying to give the word correctly, probably, such an adrenaline shot for the whole country, the whole society, and

of course, the situation in the middle east, and as for your question, andrey, the latest situation, it is ongoing shelling, there were shelling , here you mentioned the city of ashkelon was mentioned in the story, shelling continues there, but islamic jihad is the second largest group, there was a threat that tel aviv would be shelled at 9:00 p.m. here in the city where i live, petakhtykov, i am now in the city of petakhtykov, there were also sirens during the day, the iron dome is quite good, it works successfully here, so everything went without excesses here, well, in the south, as i already said, israel continues, our military the operation in gaza continues, we are ready for the development of the situation on the northern borders, and as i already... said, we still haven't finished the process of identifying bodies, but i simply can't give you these shots, it's

just terrible, watch because of what happened in these kibbutzim, small settlements on the border with the gaza strip, after the true scale of what the hamas militants did there was revealed, in our hands, now in the hands of israel, there are about one and a half thousand bodies of militants who were destroyed on territories of israel, only possible imagine the scale of the atrocity that this group was building. mr. yevgeny, i want to quote al-jazeera now, they report that the un high commissioner for human rights, volker turk, condemned israel's decision to implement a complete gas blockade, including food and water embargo, and stressed that international humanitarian law must be respected. how will you react to these words? you know, we have a personal relationship with un, once upon a time, the first prime minister of israel, bengurion said this phrase - it sounds like um, that is, um is an abbreviation, just like oon, and he said: "um shmu, what difference does it make to me what they say in the oon, and well

, they attribute to him another famous phrase, which was later repeated by goldemay, many now talk about comparisons with the war of the doomsday, so here it is the second phrase: it doesn't matter what the goyim say, that is, it's not the jews, but what the jews do is important, well, it's kind of hinting that it doesn't matter what they say in the world, the main thing is to protect their citizens, i'm not going to spoil the commissar's words here. human rights, in general, you know, some kind of obsessive manner, he always comes to israel with complaints, that is, there are many conflicts in the world , many wars, many places where human rights are not respected, but for some reason it is precisely the lion's share of all the subcommissions sitting in the un that concern israel and the palestinians , or there is the gaza sector, israel said a simple thing very clearly, we are now at war with hamas, martial law has been declared in our country, we have called up hundreds of thousands of reservists, hamas, which is the sovereign in the gaza sector, that is, its

de- facto recognized as an education that controls the gas sector, because it is not only a paramilitary group, it is hamas that controlled schools, hamas controlled kindergartens, hospitals, institutions, state institutions, that is, hamas wanted to be a mini-state in the gas sector, and hamas must now be responsible for this, so all these talk about what israel supposedly has to do now to supply water, electricity, etc., everything is in gas, let the high commissioner first familiarize himself with the topic with photographs that come from the kibbutz, where whole families are located, mutilated, raped women, shot three-year-old children, which we are now collecting the corpses of our fellow citizens, then let him talk about water, or electricity, which we allegedly do not provide, i have a short question, after all , recently we also talked about this, that hamas previously stated that they were open to discussing a possible truce with israel, do you think that this truce is possible now and on

what basis? there can be no truce with hamas, we are, even though we are an opposition party, our home is israel, but we in the first minutes of this war, they said that if the goal is the destruction of the regime in gaza, we will join the existing coalition without any conditions, and i do not think that today anyone in israel, well, maybe with the exception of individual citizens in the arab sector, is saving for negotiations with hamas, maybe negotiations with the group that brutally killed more than a thousand innocent, unarmed people, so i believe that in this situation we are going to the end, and if a ground operation is required, the army is ready for a ground operation and nobody, nobody us won't be able to stop there, mr. yevgeny, thank you very much, it was yevhen sova, deputy of the knesset of israel, on the live broadcast of national marfon one news, meanwhile, there are less than two weeks left until the end of accepting applications for participation in the national selection for eurovision 2024. based on the results, it will be formed the longlist of participants who will continue to participate in the national selection. this list will include

original, unborrowed work, written either now, or that has been waiting for its time with a time limit of up to three minutes, so artists are currently refining their songs , we hope to receive as many of them as possible by october 22, so that we can start forming a longlist. and you have already listened, or even watched those materials sent to you. i wonder what styles are currently popular among possible eurovision participants from ukraine? yes, of course, we follow the applications that we have already received... they are primarily young artists who work in the field of electronic music, in the field of pop music, we also have rock compositions, we also receive rap, hip- hop, the songs are actually from different parts of ukraine and not only ukraine, we have applications from great britain, and from sweden, which is hosting eurovision this year, and from italy, we understand that how many ukrainians, in principle, are now for outside ukraine, and in fact, foreigners are interested in the national selection

of ukraine, we also receive applications from foreigners , so i hope... this year to make the national selection as interesting and diverse as possible, as usual, we have a music producer, dmytro shurov, who will make sure that the final, which will be held in february this year, is as diverse as possible, and we will also try to make an interesting selection for viewers, internet users, and radio listeners, plus one finalist, because in this year, there is an innovation of the national selection, and already in december, ukrainians will participate in the selection of the finalists of the lineup... ukrainians will add one more by their vote to those finalists selected from the longlist by dmytro shurov. and when it happens, how will the estonians vote, like at eurovision? it will be an online vote , we will announce the direct voting platform closer to december, because now our main task is to complete

the acceptance of applications by october 22, then conduct, select a longlist, conduct auditions, we it is important to hear each artist also live, as of now we choose phonograms, we receive them in applications, and it is very important for eurovision to hear each artist, how he sings and behaves on stage live, after that we will form a list for voting, and the voting itself will take place in december, so that by the christmas holidays, ukrainians already understood the composition of the finalists of the national selection in february. ms. oksano, thank you very much, and i hope to see you soon. meetings with oksana skibinska , head of the ukrainian eurovision delegation we will definitely follow how this process will continue. now let's move on to another important topic, a council of europe conference on modern challenges to freedom of speech and the safety of journalists was held in riga, and olga gerasimyuk, head of the national council for television and radio broadcasting, attended it, and now she will speak live on the national marathon , what happened there and what was discussed there

that was important for ukraine. mrs. olga, please. somehow we can't hear you, well, i hope that now, after all, mrs. olga geresymiuk, let me remind you that she is the head of the national council for television and radio broadcasting, she will appear on our air, we will hear what was discussed at the conference in riga, where they were supposed to discuss freedom of speech and safety for journalists, well, let's wait, actually less than a few minutes, i hope that we still have contact with ms. olga, i have many questions, by the way, for her, and one of the last ones is how much the war in ukraine is being followed in europe at the moment, have they switched over? mostly international journalists the situation in israel, which now appears on the front pages of newspapers, and in many news releases

, the first news comes from israel, from the gas sector, but let's not forget that
