mo possession, various damaged objects, and all these damages will be restored, this is the project svoboda ranok, we have prepared many interesting topics for you, and look ahead. orbán's scandalous statements in which he compared hungary's membership in the european union to the soviet occupation did not go unnoticed. the head of eu diplomacy, joseph borel , reminded the prime minister of hungary that no one obliges his country to be... a member of the european union. is it reasonable to assume that after such statements the eu is on the verge of a split and does the union need to be reformed, considering the war in ukraine. let's talk. higher education in ukraine is on the verge of global changes. the government offers the parliament to think about optimizing the system of higher education. for example, to allow students studying under a contract to independently regulate the term of study, the correspondence form is also in question, it can simply be canceled. we will ask educational managers about all possible innovations in the successful

the leader of the party that won the election, robert fitz. during the campaign, he spoke against military aid to ukraine and promised in case of victory not to give it a single bullet , unlike his predecessors, and also to insist on negotiations between ukraine and russia. president of slovakia, approving the new government, mentioned the new challenges facing it, the increase in energy sources, food products, and also expressed the hope that the fitz government will maintain a course for good relations with its neighbors. in particular, ukraine, which is in a state of war. the newly appointed prime minister, in his turn , reminded that he was in this chair for the fourth time and promised a sovereign foreign policy. today, fico, whose rhetoric has often been compared to hungarian prime minister viktor orbán in brussels, now represents slovakia at summits of eu leaders, and next day, diplomats who under conditions of anonymity, they shared their expectations from this summit with journalists, noted the rhetoric of the candidate and the leader, sometimes... different

things, so they are not in a hurry to make predictions about the course of the new slovak government. the presidents and heads of government of the eu countries, who are meeting here today, are expected to discuss the events in the middle east. charles michel, in his letter inviting the leaders to the summit, writes: they require immediate attention, without distraction, continues the president of the european council in the same paragraph , the european union from constant support of ukraine. it is also traditionally on the agenda of leaders and diplomats who spoke to journalists on condition of anonymity. assured that they do not notice any signs of fatigue from ukraine on their part. at the summit, in particular, it will be discussed how to speed up the provision of military support to it, which is necessary to speed up, it was also mentioned in the draft conclusions of the summit, which ended up at the disposal of radio liberty. it also mentions the eu's intentions to help ukraine survive the winter with generators, mobile heating points, etc. use will also be discussed frozen russian assets by ukraine. in the final statement of the summit it is stated, then. decisive progress, so the european commission

is urged to speed up the proposals. volodymyr zelenskyi, who will address the participants of the summit today via video link, called earlier to spread belgium's experience in using frozen russian assets throughout europe. this country created a special fund to support ukraine in the amount of one billion 700 million euros, which is filled from taxation on real estate funds, and the eu will also work on further promotion of the ukrainian peace formula to the wider world. said in the draft declaration, and will once again confirm its intentions to help ukraine in its fight against russian aggression, as much as necessary, in particular with security commitments, so that it can deter aggression in the future. the form in which they will be offered has yet to be decided, the leaders mentioned in the draft conclusions of the summit want to hear specifics during their december meeting, at which, as expected in kyiv, they can decide to start negotiations with ukraine on joining the european union. from brussels.

zoriana stepanenko, marek hajduk, radio liberty. the words of the prime minister of hungary, viktor orbán, in which he compared his country's membership in the eu to the soviet occupation did not remain. no answer the head of eu diplomacy, josep borel, believes that nobody is forcing hungary to be a member of the european union. borel said this at the annual conference of the center for european reforms, europe and the world. hungary knows about the soviet occupation, i remember budapest in 1956 with russian tanks on the streets, i was nine years old. frankly, i do not see any similarity between the soviet occupation of budapest and what is happening in berlemont. i didn't see a single tank there, no weapons. hungary joined the european union in 2004 . earlier, viktor orban, who is known for his critical statements about ukraine, also expressed doubts about the possible approval of ukraine's accession to the eu. as the head of the hungarian government stated, it is not known, and i quote, how large the territory of ukraine is, since

the war is ongoing. instead, in an exclusive interview with radio liberty, the speaker of the chamber member of the czech parliament, pekareva adamova said that hungarian prime minister viktor orbán is probably the eu leader who is questioning ukraine's accession to the european union before the end of the russian-ukrainian war. but radio svoboda journalist rikard jozvik writes that the president of the european commission, ursula funder, will probably visit ukraine in early november. according to him, she would not have planned the trip so close to the date of publication of the european commission's enlargement reports if she had not had good news. let me remind you, european on november 8, the commission will publish an assessment of the progress achieved by ukraine on the way to the european union. evgeny magda, director of the institute of world politics, joins our broadcast, good morning. good morning. mr. yevgeny, the future of the eu, is it with or without hungary, what do you think, and how do you feel about orbán's statements in general, his position is important, or will the hungarian voter

decide whether to remain in hungary in the eu, if such a question even will you stay or not? i think that orban's statements have a political basis, and. already in april last year, the fidesz party won the elections and formed a constitutional majority, and during these elections, orbán said that he would not allow hungary to be drawn into the russian-ukrainian war, that is, he, to a certain extent that is unpleasant for us, he defends the program provisions, from which he won the election, that must be understood. he has his own history of relations with vladimir putin, many remember his visit to moscow in january of the 22nd. but i'm not sure, more than sure, what he knew about the prospects of an invasion of ukraine, and actually nato countries, their intelligence had the relevant information, let's be frank even earlier, in the fall of 21, this is the second: orbán

can imagine a bigger threat at the moment and we will see it today, i think in brussels , if he will act... in tandem with robert fico, that is, a similar situation not in the context of ukraine, in the context of the attitude towards brussels, was a few years ago when orbán interacted with representatives of law and justice, with poland, and accordingly, then, the two of them fought, so to speak against, well, in their words, the eurobureaucracy, but we see that they acted somewhat differently. context, as far as it will be now, well, we, we will see, we will see, actually, literally, literally these days will be the first manifestations, will it be a tandem, in any case, orbán, as we know, congratulated fice on his election, well with by the fact that he is returning to power again, but what do you think, precisely fitz's position for example in

relation to ukraine, if he previously spoke against supporting ukraine, can he maintain this policy of his, or is it already there, having won the position, becoming the prime minister, he can radically change. its policy and, accordingly, not to block any issues in the context of providing aid to ukraine, not to block issues of ukraine's future accession to the eu, and so on. in your story, with reference to anonymous diplomats, it was already said that candidates often have a different rhetoric than incumbent politicians, this is true, but it would be strange if he went to the elections with the same rhetoric that the ruling party used, i think that it will not be as sharp a position as a flying position hungary, but to expect that fico, well, immediately, you know, will become the best friend of ukraine, it would be strange, in my opinion, ukraine in this situation should initiate consultations with

the countries of the visegrad four, three of which are our immediate neighbors, plus the czech republic , because we have a certain level of friction... with all of them, well, for example, in the czech republic we cannot in any way appoint our ambassador, and the fact that yevhen perebeinis left there, i think, creates, well, quite significant problems in ukrainian . relations, despite the fact that he passed in prague the other day, the summit of the crimean platform, that is, we have to extend our hand and emphasize that we are a warring country for which the experience of our central european neighbors in the matter of european euro-atlantic integration is important, it will be difficult for any politician to simply reject this hand extended by the representatives warring country, well, that's how it works, that's the political logic at the moment in our modern europe, and that's why i think that such a step would be, well

, at least justified. mr. yevgeny, considering what orban has, for example questions to the european union, the european union as an organization has questions to orbán and his policy, is it possible and appropriate now to talk about the fact that - the european union is waiting for reform in the future, perhaps in the context of the fact that if one member of the european union is against it, then the decision is not taken, as it will not be like that now, maybe there will be, i don’t know, there will be a majority of 2/3 of the european union to make decisions, approve them, or work in some other direction, but the european union as an organization, it needs to be reformed in the near future, in the near future also? you you know, the european union has already been in existence for more than 30 years, and of course, what will happen, well, its fairly rapid expansion of positions raised the question of what it will be like next. this, it really, really exists at the moment, it is clear and

it will be necessary to work with it, it is the first time, the second time, well, actually, maybe, there may be a process of reforming, but the appropriate decisions must be made, all the same will follow the current procedure, i.e. , in order to change the procedure, consensus will have to be reached in the current form, and it will also not be easy, i think that in fact the position of the central euro... countries weighs a lot on the issue of the money they did not receive from the common funds of the european union, where this money was frozen due to problems with democracy, well, that is, brussels influenced politics in this way and budapest and warsaw and accordingly, for example, it is said that the leader of the civil coalition, donald tusk, who has a good chance of becoming the next prime minister of poland, will also take part in the summit, sorry, in the summit of the european union, which will be held

today and tomorrow, but it should be taken into account that tusk served as the head of the european council for two terms, and he has fairly well-established connections in brussels, that is, i think that the process of reforming the european union will continue, but i don't want to expect any melee on this issue i can, negotiations on ukraine's accession to the european union should begin even though kyiv. does not control its entire territory, this was stated by the vice president of the european parliament, the start of negotiations, how significant and essential is this step in the context of the entire path that ukraine is taking to become a full-fledged and full-fledged member of the european union? in my opinion, there are two factors here, on the one hand, these negotiations are highly likely to start. at the end of this year and the visit of ursula fonden was mentioned again, she is indeed very active in

the ukrainian direction, but in this context i would advise not to forget that in june next year the elections to the european parliament will be held, and the european the people's party, which today dominates the european union, it would like to be, well, to maintain its positions, it's natural, that's why ursula funderlajen and roberta metzola and even josep borel made appropriate enough, i would say pro-ukrainian statements, maybe even strongly pro-ukrainian statements, that is, i would not completely rule out the pre-election context, but we must be aware that the beginning of negotiations and the actual process of joining the european union, they will be, to put it mildly, stretched in time, that is, optimism... regarding the statements of the ukrainian leadership that we can become a member of the eu in two years

, i do not agree, that is, in essence, this is still a matter of years, it is not the nearest prospect, not the nearest two years and not the nearest tentatively four years. let's face the truth, ukraine, even during our current conversation with you, continues to bear losses and is actually the poorest country in europe, including the losses caused by russia. she. before the large-scale invasion , russia was not at the forefront of economic development either aggression caused us enormous economic damage. the large-scale assistance that we receive from the european union, from the united states, from other partners, it helps us to stay afloat, but it does not solve all the problems, that is, they can be solved after the end of hostilities, this is an absolutely objective reality, yes this is for years, if i'm not mistaken, among the post-soviet countries, the fastest way to negotiate was estonia, which

spent eight or nine years on joining the eu, and we understand the scale of estonia. even geographical and scale of ukraine, mr. yevgeny, and about the extent of reformed and non-reformed, that is, about reformedness, in addition to the fact that ukraine is currently in a state of a large-scale war against russia, it is defending itself, a large area has suffered a lot of damage, which we have already discussed with you they said that there is still a significant advantage , rather a significant drawback on the way to the european union, which ukraine actually wants to overcome and still reach, but the biggest obstacle is corruption, it is not reformed legislation, it is a bureaucratic procedure it is the accession to the european union , i don't know, maybe there is something else that prevents ukraine from becoming a full member of the eu in the next few years, if we are talking about a year or two. i think that the main factor is still the lack of a transparent court, because no private investor

will come to ukraine after the end of hostilities with certain political things, when he... will understand that his money is reliably protected here, and state aid, state aid, it can be different, we will see it, for example, with the arrival of the fizo government, that is, slovakia itself, it seems to me, has already given everything it could from its arsenals to ukraine, well, what was possible for it, that is, it is not a key donor of military equipment, but it will definitely produce zuzana howitzers by order of ukraine, so i am in favor of so that we, well, let's say this, do not build unnecessary illusions for ourselves, but understand that to reform ukraine, to carry out the necessary transformation during the war, that is, in our country, this, you know, is a bad explanation that we have a war, so we cannot do anything , and in conclusion i will have one more question, it will concern the united states of america, the new speaker of the house of representatives, mike johnson , in response to a question about whether there will be

an increase in aid to ukraine, said that he would agree to it, but under certain conditions, actually. what are your expectations from those, obviously, debates, from those minds, which will continue with the biden administration and between democrats and republicans, regarding future support for ukraine, how will they behave in the united states, given such personnel changes, let's call it, so her events, which taking place in the house of representatives, they indicate whether the presidential elections are approaching, well, they are in a year, but the campaign in the united states, this is obviously the brightest. and the longest political event in the world and well, it will be a long game and with a high degree of probability again in a duel between donald trump and joseph biden in the 20th year, that is, well, it is actually a very interesting duel for many reasons, but what for what i want

to point out that the election of mr. johnson is better than the absence of a speaker, because without a speaker, the house of representatives could not make decisions there at all, here we can talk about making better or worse decisions there, finding compromises for making decisions, but it is better than a complete absence, and we must understand that ukraine as an object of future american aid, it is, in my opinion, that, if the words of joseph biden have already been heard that he offers aid to ukraine , israel and the republic of china, then we should obviously somehow coordinate actions with other future recipients of aid, make a speech, send, let's say, a joint parliamentary delegation or something similar, well on the level of parliamentary diplomacy, but as far as i understand, we in ukraine have recently had certain difficulties with parliamentary diplomacy.

i thank you, thank you for being a guest of our broadcast, probably not the republic. china, and a little bit of you and i to the republic of china, to taiwan, to taiwan, yes, well, thank you very much for this inclusion, evgeny magda, director of the institute of world politics, guest of our broadcast, as always with important analytics about what is happening on the international arena and when, in the end, ukraine will have the opportunity to become a full member union mr. yevhen says that there is no need to hold out hope in the near future. this is the freedom of the mornings, as always important topics, we left one at the end that we also want to talk about, it is about correspondence education, which can be canceled, students get more academic freedom. the cabinet of ministers supported the bill changing the system of higher education, the ministry of digital policy said about it, students will be able to create their own trajectory there, it was a direct quote, the ministry is confident that such changes will optimize the work of higher education institutions

education and bring them closer to european standards. among other things, students of the contract form of education will be able to reduce or increase the term, instead of four , for example, they can finish the bachelor's degree in three years or in six. also, students will be able to choose their specialty already during their studies, and not at the time of entering the university. for example, within the field of social sciences. after two courses choose sociology, social work or political science. also, the number of hours in classrooms, lectures and practical classes will be recorded, instead of the current popular one independent processing of subjects by students. the abolition of correspondence education is also revolutionary in this draft law. the government proposes to leave the day uniform and remote uniform. learning numbers is called an outdated format. there will also be changes for the so-called regulated specialties. this is when work requires the availability of appropriate education. kud in medicine, the military and other activities. for such majors , the number of elective disciplines that students choose on their own will be reduced, while for all non-regulated elective majors

there will be more discipline. the verkhovna rada of ukraine still has to consider the changes. joining our broadcasts is olek sharov, he is the general director of the department of professional pre-university and higher education of the ministry of education and science of ukraine. i welcome you. good morning. mr. leger, well, about what is most important. what is currently being discussed, what has become of the state of ukraine now, the correspondence form of education is not satisfied , in fact, there are tens of thousands, thousands of students today who have chosen this form of education, and we are not saying that we are not satisfied with correspondence form of obtaining higher education, we say that like the entire system of higher education, it needs to be modernized in connection with the real world in which we now find ourselves, and we cannot roll back our lives before february 24, 2022 year, no earlier than march 2020, we must understand that the conditions have changed, including the conditions for educational

activity, and during this period, in fact, correspondence education, in fact evening education has become one or another variety of distance education, and therefore this draft law proposes simply recognize what has already happened and create conditions for institutions of higher education to have the opportunity to use full-time... form, distance form of obtaining higher education, as well as create various combinations of full-time and distance form , depending on the need for the organization of the educational process. if you read the government bill, that is, it is already a firm decision, conditionally, if the parliament passes it, the president will sign it, then from september 1, the 24th , there will be no new sets specifically for the correspondence form of education, or is it still given that some period transition i think it will be determined by law, and the law will determine the date from which ... there will be a full-time and remote uniform, but i want to draw your attention again that many pairs, many models of modern part-time uniforms can look like a combination of daytime and

remote form, on the other hand, i think no one believes that we will do without the use of distance learning technologies in the future. mr. olezh, were there before this, let's say, the drafting of the draft law, the drafting of these changes, in the consultation, any communication, additional with students, with teachers, so how, how was it discussed in the educational environment? and in fact, speaking, various consultations with the educational environment take place constantly, and in particular, in the last two months, there were many meetings with the heads of higher education institutions, with academic councils, with student self-government bodies, in principle in all universities, to which, let's say, with which , for example, i thought to communicate with the understanding that we should just carry out a certain arrangement. i do not i would like us to say that the correspondence form is disappearing , it is modernizing, modernizing to a more modern remote form, you know, like with mobile phones,

a mobile phone with a touch screen, this is obviously a much more modern version than a push-button phone , and the push-button telephone was a much more modern version of the pollinino with a disk telephone, eh, the ukrainian education system, you said that there we will no longer be able to return to what was there and so on, we must...' she is ready before these changes, talking there again with the representatives of the universities, talking with the student environment, there is an understanding that this is really the thing that is primarily needed now, is it not a priority, but to which one should go? and you know, always in the educational environment, the post-academic community , there is a certain part of people who are against any changes, at any moment, this is a situation well known to us, we definitely work with it, we work with these people, but actually speaking , now we are in a situation where we cannot not spend changes, and these changes are to a certain extent of a worldview character, and the modern model , both correspondence and evening forms of education,

is what we have left... a legacy from the soviet union, and it still works completely according to soviet models and even according to the code of labor laws of 1971, it is clear that striving for euro-atlantic, for european integration, if you like, for the west in the broad sense of the word, we have to review these models and those approaches that we have inherited from the soviet union, or will this modernization of education, i don't know, a conditional reduction there, the number of... teachers who will be, will not have as many hours for example as they had before, or after all about some reformation in the context of how the distribution between teachers will be, about that it is not mentioned, well, it is generally white and sweet, it is outwardly similar, but not related to each other in any way, that is , precisely in the context of the composition there, the number of teachers, it will be decided by the universities that have autonomy today, of course, also about in conclusion, this

study is about... actually of education, i.e. the reduction of the number of optional disciplines and from the context of the students themselves, how will it look in practice , well, for example, some students will want to have this discipline, others that, and the university should offer them the opportunity to receive exactly this, and not receive another, right ? currently, in accordance with the law on higher education in the 14th edition, students should be offered 25% of the total number of credits of subjects of the students' free choice, this norm was not just implemented until now, even in the 15th year it was really possible to dream about it, today it is more or less real. the bill proposes to divide majors into two large groups: regulated majors , where, in fact, the state must establish program learning outcomes, and where the volume of optional subjects of free choice by students may be somewhat less than 25%. and other specialties, where we expect that the volume of measurement disciplines will be at least up to and

have a steady tendency to increase. in today's practice, we see that institutions of higher education offer a certain number of disciplines to selective students choice. students make their choice, sometimes educational institutions roll back this choice, because a certain, certain discipline, a certain subject can be chosen by a very small number of students, but in the end, the aggregate of higher education institutions and students of higher education converge on the list of graduate disciplines, and this gives the most important thing each student of higher education has the opportunity to build his unique set of competencies with which he will further enter the labor market, in principle, this is the main goal of providing academic freedom of students in terms of free choice of disciplines. and very briefly at the end, literally 30 seconds, but is there any preliminary understanding, here is the education parliamentary committee, have there already been discussions with this committee, how do they look at it, you

know, for now, of course, there were discussions, now consultations are taking place, this is a very complex bill on individual educational trajectories, it actually concerns many issues of modernization of the functioning of the higher education system, we are quite calm about the fact that the national mps of ukraine, working with this draft law, working with the voters, will make one or another change, maybe before the first or second reading, this is too big a fundamental topic, if you want, this draft law is the most fundamental change. in the legislative regulation of higher education, starting with the adoption of a new version of the law on higher education in the 14th year. thank you, mr. olezh, oleg sharov, director general of the department of the directorate of professional, pre-higher and higher education of the ministry of education and science of ukraine, guest of our broadcast. thanks for your comments in the chat, for watching, subscribe to our platforms, we are represented everywhere, we will meet you tomorrow, take care.

it's 10 o'clock on the clock, it's time to find out what 's happening in ukraine and the world, at this time khrystyna parobiy is working in the studio. the occupiers suffered record losses of combat iron near avdiivka. during the last assaults on the city , the russians have already lost from 109 to 200 pieces of equipment. such data were made public at the institute for the study of war, referring to satellite images for the past 10 days. among the destroyed vehicles are primarily armored infantry vehicles, tanks and armored personnel carriers. the institute also notes that the number of scrapped cars is greater than during the...
