european solidarity, i ask her to pass the floor to my colleague mykola knyazhytskyi, please, mykola knyazhytskyi. colleagues, we will vote for this, because we have to do everything to unblock the roads, but think about what we are doing, we appeal to the newly elected senate and diet, which does not have its own prime minister, prime minister muravetskyi, president duda, they run the government , they are... responsible for blocking roads, they are not doing anything to unblock it, and we put the responsibility on the newly elected sejm and senate, the future prime minister will be tusk, and obviously, this will be perceived as our unfriendly step towards poland. yes, we have to do it, because they have to act, so we hope that when the government changes in the middle of december, they will do everything to help us unblock the roads and

unblock our cooperation, but let's act wisely, let's not act like this , as we do, let's not interfere with intra-polish clashes, in poland they still remember the visit of mr. stefanchuk and mrs. vice-president to poland, who communicated there with the authorities, with the opposition, we communicated only with the authorities, the opposition came to power, wants to help us, and we want to transform them with our own hands on enemies we have few enemies in slovakia and hungary. what are we doing these provocations for? yes, we cannot not vote for it, because it is our pain, but the way this resolution was prepared and the way it was formed, it is obvious that it is formed in a way that will harm our relations and us later it will have to be corrected in order to unblock the roads together with the newly elected polish government, to remove the problems of agriculture and our european integration. thank you, we will vote, but it's a shame. dear

colleagues, please, serhii vladyslavovich soboliv, fatherland faction. dear colleagues. dear citizens of ukraine, i think that this is more than ever a timely address of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, and the worst thing is if we interfere in the internal affairs of poland, supporting and playing along with one or other parties, there is one party in poland, which is the fifth putin's column, and you know the name of this party very well, it is a confederation that organizes those blockades and openly advocates the blockade of ukraine, opposes supporting ukraine. we have a unique situation. we have not only the bicameral support of poland, the diet and the lower house. in addition, we also have the senate,

sorry, we also have bipartisan support. if there was no such support of the current ruling party, if there was no such support of the current one. if there was no such support from the opposition, which also declared that we we will do everything possible to ensure that this support continues, it is difficult to say how many millions of citizens who are in poland today, millions of citizens who passed through poland, and you all had the opportunity to see how organized the people of poland are in supporting ukraine, and that is why i think it is our duty today to do everything possible so that the bicameral and bipartisan support of both the majority and the opposition in this case does everything possible to ensure that our relations with poland remain the warmest, that these relations are open,

so that we can tell each other the whole truth and not be ashamed, that is why our faction will support this draft resolution and will vote for it. the floor is given to a people's deputy. bakuntsi of ukraine, pavlo andriyovych, and this is the final speech , and after that, dear colleagues, we vote, i ask you to invite the deputies to take their seats, dear mr. chairman, dear people's deputies, just imagine each one of you... if you had to, how can a ukrainian driver stand for more than 300 hours, more than 14 days, more than two weeks in line for to get home, in a kilometer-long, 30-kilometer line, of course, that we

need to enter the situation of every driver who is actually a hostage. absolutely the same influences that exist in our country, unfortunately, in a country that always supports us, that is our reliable partner, that is our good neighbor in the country of poland, kremlin roots also operate there, a pro-russian column also operates there, which actually organizes what is currently happening on our border together with our good neighbor poland, there the blockade is far from being carried out by those carriers who live from the border of ukraine to warsaw, there are completely different roots of this unhealthy situation, so today, adopting

this resolution, i am addressing the parliament itself, the sejm of poland, congratulating our friends, thanking them for as always and in the first days, they helped us, supported us and continue to support us, help us to increase our military power, we still have to sit down together, government officials, and solve this problem immediately, so that in the future our countries will live in a good neighborhood and in good partnership, glory to europe, glory to poland, glory to ukraine. dear colleagues, we have discussed this issue, we are moving on to making a decision. i ask the people's deputies, including those gathered in the white column, to take their seats, because we are going to make a decision, well , i don't know who they are according to the column, but they

for 264, the decision has been made, thank you, colleagues, the next bill is the presidential bill the draft law with an alternative to it, this is a draft law on the use of the english language in ukraine, registration number 94-32 and alternative 94 321. i propose to consider them under a shortened procedure. i ask the people's deputies to vote. for 236, the decision was made. dear colleagues, the representative of the president of ukraine in the verkhovna rada of ukraine vanislavsky fedir volodymyrovych is invited to speak. dear mr. chairman, dear people's deputies, your attention is brought to the attention of the president

of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi and defined as an urgent draft of the law under registration number 94-32 on the use of the english language in ukraine. the initiative of the head of state was announced and presented to the general public during the address of the president of ukraine to the parliament of the ukrainian people during the celebration of the constitution day of ukraine. on june 28, 2023, the president emphasized in his speech that in the modern world , english is the language of global cooperation, the language of global business, global science , and global communication, and accordingly, ukraine needs transformation in the future, deepening the use of the english language, in relation to ukrainian, so that ukrainian interests spread throughout the world, our people gain global opportunities for themselves and for the country. therefore, the purpose of the draft law is to ensure the use of english as

one of the languages ​​of international communication throughout the territory of ukraine, in public spheres of civil life. the project, in particular , proposes to establish that the state promotes the study of the english language by citizens of ukraine, the obligation to use it in the educational process of learning the english language in institutions preschool education, mandatory study in institutions of general secondary, professional, professional, higher, higher education, provision of financial assistance to citizens for learning a language within the scope of obtaining adult education, etc., a list of positions of state authorities, local self- government bodies is determined, in which it is necessary to know the english language, assuming that the command of the english language can be established by the subjects of appointment for candidates for the position, etc., the president of ukraine recommends that the english language becomes the language that can every citizen of ukraine can freely own. please support the president's initiative. thank you for attention. the floor is given to the people's deputy

of ukraine, sovsun innimanna, the author of the alternative draft law. please, inna sofsun, faction voice. dear colleagues, knowledge of the english language is undoubtedly extremely important for our future, especially for our youth. our children knew english, children who understand english fluently will not watch masha and the bear on youtube and a bunch of other things content that continues to be used today and unfortunately has access to it... including ukrainian children. of course, it needs to be developed and of course it is necessary to support this initiative. at the same time, it is very important to remember the protection of the ukrainian language. do you remember what a stormy discussion was caused by the proposal to remove the ukrainian dubbing from the showing of movies in cinemas. of course,

watching movies in english is useful. i know this for sure from myself, from my son. but it is just as important ukrainian dubbing, in many cities, in the east, in the south of ukraine, people cannot hear the ukrainian language anywhere in the public space, except in cinemas, and of course this must be preserved and i really hope that these requirements will be changed before the second reading, in order to improve this bill and leave a ukrainian-speaking space, including in cinemas, but these are not the only differences between my bill and the bill proposed by the president, probably most of you do not know, but especially for the representatives of the committee of the right, i want to inform that the draft law proposes to establish the mandatory knowledge of the english language for prosecutors. i don't understand why this is for every ordinary prosecutor, but this norm is there. on the other hand, and this is for my colleagues from the education committee, who already know this for sure, there is no requirement for mandatory knowledge of the english language for university rectors and for university teachers. actually, that's

what i'm proposing to change, and that's what makes my bill different from the president's. i really hope so. that in in the preparation for the second reading, these proposals will be reflected and in the end we will establish requirements for those where it is expedient and rational and remove where it will obviously not work and will be profaned. thank you. thank you, dear colleagues, i ask you to register two for two against, and you, well , let's have another committee, please . dear colleagues, the committee of the verkhovna rada on humanitarian and information policy reviewed the above-mentioned draft laws at its meeting. the purpose both of them are increasing ukraine's competitiveness, increasing investment tourist attractiveness, expanding the use of the english language in public spheres of social life, and creating favorable conditions for its mastery by ukrainian citizens. the bills are supposed to officially

establish the status of english as one of the languages ​​of international communication in ukraine. the committee shares the position regarding the importance of creating favorable conditions for ukrainian citizens to learn english as the language of international communication in ukraine. by based on the results of the discussion at the meeting, the members of the committee at the same time expressed proposals for the necessary changes to the draft law number 94-32, taking into account which the committee proposes to recommend adopting it as a basis with the subsequent revision of it for consideration in the second reading. so, in particular, the committee proposes to exclude the fourth part of the ninth article of the draft law number 94.32 from the text of the draft law. the second paragraph of the second section of the final and transitional provisions, the third paragraph of the fourth section of the second amendment to the law of ukraine on cinematography, paragraph 12 of subsection 18 of section four of section two of amendments to the law of ukraine on ensuring the functioning of the ukrainian language as a state language, subsection 20 of section two of the draft law amending the law of ukraine on copper. therefore, based on the results of consideration of the bills in the first reading,

the committee recommends that the verkhovna rada approve the bill of president volodymyr zelenskyi in ukraine, registration number 9432 as a basis, taking into account the proposals of the committee on humanitarian and information policy and reject the alternative draft law 9432 request to support the relevant draft resolutions prepared by the committee. thank you. thank you, yevgenia mykhailivna, dear colleagues, please sign up two for, two against to speak about these draft laws. and after that we will vote. please, i am asking factions of the group to sign up. please, the floor is given to people's deputy shvachko anton oleksiyovych, faction of

the servant of the people political party, please give the floor to kravchuk. kravchuk, please, dear colleagues, we will now to adopt one of the most progressive bills that the verkhovna rada has considered in all its convocations. i am asking you to support the draft law of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, because it is about opportunities for ukrainians, about our involvement in the international context, about investing in ourselves and our children. according to the draft law, the ministry of digitization has already launched the future perfect program, and its purpose is to popularize the study of english and to provide an opportunity for absolutely all ukrainians to master the english language. from kindergarten to full-grown adulthood and that's it

request: 93% of parents support their children learning english, more than 50% of ukrainians want to improve their knowledge of english, so officials even in the regions should know english, because when an investor comes to them, they need to communicate directly, and business owners who work in other english-speaking countries, noted that knowledge of the english language is important for their business. this bill is a ticket to the future in ukraine. our opportunity to speak the same language with the democratic world. therefore, invest in yourself, invest in your children and let's go along with the whole world. thank you. please vyatrovych volodymyr mykhailovych. faction european solidarity. dear colleagues, do we need to study better and use the english language more? definitely yes. whether a special law on the english language is needed for this is not certain. let's ask

ourselves why such laws operate mostly in the british colonies of asia and africa, why there are no such laws in european countries. i am sure that european legal policy refers to languages ​​other than european languages ​​used in european union. our constitution states that the state promotes the study of languages ​​of international communication, and it is not for nothing that the word languages ​​is used here in the plural. regarding the specific draft law, the most attention and the most indignation in the society was caused by its norms on the prohibition of showing in cinemas, english -language films dubbed in ukrainian, and of course, it would not be possible even in the first reading to vote for the draft with such dangerous, anti-constitutional and, unfortunately, russification norms, and i thank the humanitarian committee, which is unanimous made the optimal decision. to vote for the project as a basis with the removal of these norms, it relieved the tension in society and opened the way to the law's adoption without conflict in the first reading, we support the committee's decision and will vote for it, but before the second

reading, this project should be improved, in particular for these reasons, or shall we not create some additional barrier to entry into the state service of military personnel who are currently serving in the army and who obviously deserve, if not the most, to represent the ukrainian state, not all of them know the english language, so i am sure that we... should further refine, possibly transform this law into one on promoting the study and use of european languages, so that, in my opinion, it would be correct from both a business, diplomatic and practical point of view, thank you for your attention . thank you, the floor is given to people's deputy prykhodko, boris viktorovych, the parliamentary group of confidence, please give the floor to kolezhantsi, oksana savchuk. please, oksana savchuk. colleagues, regarding this bill, let's be realistic and not think that we live in a different

dimension, we really live in ukraine in this wartime, and the state of the challenges we face today very well indicates that it is the ukrainian language that we are at the stage that we should actively popularize and actively study, you really do you think that all the future civil servants that we adopted after all those bills will be people who will also try to learn english and for this they have a year or two of military time, are we realists or are we dreamers? which are even more and more we are putting obstacles in place so that in this country, when the question arises for a military man, whether he wants to and will have the opportunity to stay in ukraine and simply serve here, because he is needed, we will tell him: no, without english, we don't really need you, go . please study it, believe me, do those people who want to know english need to know, yes they do, it is necessary to impose it by law now and demand it, no, it is not necessary, there are a very

large number of categories of civil servants, law enforcement officers, who in their everyday activities do not english is required as a must, because those who have it as part of their official duties, they study it anyway and oblige. to know it, therefore, before adopting such radical bills on the english language, we have to weigh it very carefully, and after all, each of us knows very well that in order for a child to know english very well at school, it is not possible without a tutor will do without other language courses and live communication, so let's be realistic in this situation, make sure that the laws we adopt primarily help all those...' who are here live, work and fight, thank you, the floor is given to people's deputy vlasenko, serhii volodymyr, faction of the fatherland, ivan ivanovich

krulko, please, yes me. ivan krulko faction fatherland. the fatherland faction will support this draft law only as a basis, with the condition that it is seriously revised before the second reading. there is no doubt that we all perfectly understand that a country that aspires to integrate into the european union and nato must create all the conditions so that the maximum number of ukrainians citizens spoke not only the ukrainian language, but also a foreign language, in particular english, this is really true european integration, which concerns the requirements for hiring for various positions, obviously there are certain categories of positions that require knowledge of the english language, and according to those categories of positions , where specialists can work and

, let's say, they have not mastered the english language, this should not... be a reason for not accepting them for work, let's really look at all these things realistically, but here's what to do, you have to to send our english language teachers, secondary schools, to courses abroad, so that they teach english at a high level in schools, and so that the children of the school leave with the banner of the english language, and not have to study it later in order to to be able to pass at least tests for admission to foreign educational institutions, and in addition, i would like to say one more important thing: english is good, but let's be honest, in ukraine before the full-scale invasion of russia the ukrainian language was retarded, stereotypes were imposed on us that someone was being oppressed there, instead, the ukrainian language was removed from life, they tried to limit it, and moreover, they did everything possible so that it was simply not taught, and this led to , that russia went there in the first place, where there was less

ukrainian and more russian , so let's think about the state language, because where there is ukrainian, there will be a ukrainian state, thank you, glory to ukraine, dear colleagues, i ask you to take your seats, we move on to acceptance decision, dear colleagues, please, i ask you to take your seats, dear colleagues, including those standing in the aisle and thinking about the future of ukraine, take your seats. dear colleagues, please prepare for the vote, before you prepare, a few words, this is indeed a very important worldview bill, because we see

you very well, without a doubt, the ukrainian language is the core of our soul, and i am glad that the ukrainian language is becoming popular in the world today, and more and more people in the world know exactly how to pronounce slava glory to the heroes of ukraine, this is a very important thing, but today we understand that without a perfect knowledge of the language of international communication, which is english, it is very difficult today. to carve out our future in the global world, and it seems to me that this draft law is a chance for each of us and for the future of ukraine to be implemented precisely in the european space of civilization. we have lived the history of our country for more than 70 years, when we were integrated into another space, the russian-speaking one, and we can definitely see the results of this implementation, which because of that

for such a long time, we need to make radical changes so that every ukrainian squeezes himself into this russification drop by drop , it seems to me that our view is obvious, and this view is determined by the future of our country, and believe me that all the categories of citizens you spoke about, i understand that learning a foreign language is difficult, but we must understand that it is the same toolkit as the possession of modern technologies. like having brand new worldviews is a reality that has arrived and let us be worthy of this reality, therefore i also invite you to support the draft law that is now being put to the vote, ready, dear colleagues, i propose to accept the draft law on the use of the english language in ukraine, registration number
