and managed to carry out a very high-quality work, in my opinion, he managed to somehow combine this alloy of youth and experience, when the experienced andriy yarmolenko plays next to him, and also the young and promising chelsea player mykhailo mudryk, new very important figures appeared in the ukrainian national team, it is impossible to talk about such a performer as georgy sudakov, who took over the dispatching functions, and our national team performed very decently . there was a qualifying stage, there were two defeats, rebrov suffered one defeat against italy in milan, it became somewhere decisive for our team, but we all remember the same moment, the time compensated by the referee, vasyl, and you wrote and spoke about it, when a clear penalty was not awarded for a foul against mykhailo mudryk, of course we will blame it on the italians and especially the referee remember for a long time. unfortunately, such judges, judge kashai, and we remember judge pedersen, when in ukraine...

they were not allowed to play in a match with croatia back in the distant 95th, 96th, well, in one word, but i think that our guys will get together and this year will still get to the european championship, this too, this is also really important, and sergey, oleksandr has a question, please, i have a question, the story was certain, vasyl saw you several times during the broadcast, when there is a commercial break, i sit down with you with the rubric yours, and you try to follow football, which... unfortunately, it goes on during our broadcast, often during the preparation for the program, i also see that you also prepare news, work on topics and also try to follow how it is on the field? well, about football, evgeny, i have a question for you, what are the transformations, maybe some changes in the course this year last 2023 took place in the ukrainian premier league, of course the crisis is connected with the war very seriously, and they started... even this crisis hit hard not

in 2023, but when a full-scale war began, but it has its continuation in the year ending in 2023, we can definitely say that our championship has become much more competitive, so 10-15 years ago, any football fan in ukraine said: "what is there, there is no intrigue, "dynamo kyiv" or shakhtar-donetsk will still win, later they began to interfere in this struggle metal players of dnipro, now the situation is well... really unpredictable, because kryvorizky kryvbas became the winter leader of the championship, that is, we could imagine this before, well, so much, i would say, we could not imagine this. teams have equal opportunities, we are talking about resources and finances and the ability to buy players. now polissya, the debutant of the ukrainian premier league, is also among the leaders, and they invite players from the french league, in particular, makuana became a star. and at the same

time, there is no longer such a financial possibility the greats of dynamo and shakhtar to invite such players who would be a head taller than others, and therefore it becomes more interesting in terms of intrigue, but we are losing somewhere in terms of spectacle, it is clear that the level simply became more like that , unexpected turns happened, in fact, in my opinion, they used to only joke about bloodbass, but now it is one of the leaders of the championship, by the way, but on the other hand, yes , you say that i used to think so... either a miner or a dynamo, but on the other hand 15 years ago , we also thought about the fact that, yes, we have a beshekt the opponent, well, it is a passing one, and now beşektazh , and all such, well, it is already something there, but at the same time, with all that, well, for dynamo, there was a period of time in dynamo, and he could not pass the first one, he showed a good game in the first matches, but at the same time shakhtar beat barcelona, ​​for example, and in principle had a chance to pass the port, about dynamo, let's mention separately, the fact is that there were failures, they continued and continued, and in the end they pondered. at some point i made a decision, made

a decision, finally to leave, it looks logical, because there is no such enlightenment was, and the team was led by shevkovskyi, personally it will be very interesting for me to watch how oleksandr succeeds or fails in doing something, i believe in shevkovskyi, at least this season, maybe he is somewhere the best option for dynamo kyiv, i read the book shavkovsky, everything is in your hands, i think you also read it, and... or about how he went through various crises in his life, i understand that he is a strong person, psychologically, emotionally, mentally, and therefore as a coach, i i think he will be able to continue this way, yuriy, please yevgeny, look, i know how you know sports very well, and how it hurts you for all the failures that happen in it, here is 2023, putting your hand on your heart, well, we can say that it was a difficult year for ukrainian sports, and there are both objective reasons for this, yes, because... many

training bases remained in the temporarily occupied territories, many stadiums, swimming pools were simply bombed, and subjective ones, many of our athletes, famous, serve in the armed forces of ukraine, many. unfortunately died defending ukraine, there are also those who escaped, if we evaluate all this, the 23rd year in general for ukrainian sports, we can say that ukrainian sports survived the 23rd year, and thank god, are we entering the 24th on some positive note? i would say yes, i survived and thank god, and i hope that we will enter the 24th on a positive note, the summer olympic games are waiting for us, and there, too, a certain picture of what will happen and how many medals will be won by our athletes, there are certain, of course, positive expectations, and from the last victories of this year i i would mention romanchuk , our swimmer, who took two bronze medals at the european championships, that is, those athletes who previously demonstrated their

high level, they, thank god, continue to do it and there are all hopes for them, there are more, please, and i in short, ladies, we have a very pressing question in our culture, whether... can our artists hold dialogues on foreign platforms or participate in those events where russians participate, there are a lot of different disputes, and is there such a thing in sports, so that very recently i heard, listened to an interview with bolonyuk, he said that it is necessary to take part in big events like this, because if we don't take part in some events, we just give this site away, well, this is a very popular point of view, but tell about these stories, it's a hot issue in sports or all not so much? this issue is extremely acute, a few months ago, maybe not even a few months, but quite a long time ago, there was simply a question about boycotting the olympic games at the state level, ukraine decided to boycott the olympic games if

russians were allowed there, then this decision as if postponed, canceled, but recently it became officially known that the international olympic committee admitted a certain number of russian and belarusian athletes who will compete in... so far , there is no final decision regarding the boycott, but i will repeat again, for ukrainians who are participating in sports courts to compete with the russians, well, for them it is a double burden, a very high psychological burden, well, besides that , you have to demonstrate your athletic qualities and athletic abilities, there are sports where it's just that ours don't intersect with the russians in any way, thank god football is like that, but there are places where there is simply no way out, so you go out on the tennis court to... a so-called neutral russian girl is waiting for you, and you have to beat her. thank you yevhen, well, the olympics , i think, it should definitely be worth going, let them feel uncomfortable, not us, well, as if it is a moral victory, that we came, and you did not come, well, not us, especially since the ukrainian national football team, the ukrainian national football team, for the first time in history, made it to the olympic games

games, it's also very cool, i think that an important decision will be made, well, we shouldn't move because the russians have come, and is there anyone else, absolutely not, thank you very much yevgeny for your story about... sports we will actually finalize and thank you very much for being with us during this year, i believe and hope that our work was useful for you, we will do it even better on the 24th, i will only remember those people thanks to whom we are here , and thanks to which we came to the 24th year, these people, unfortunately, forever remained in the year on the 23rd, these are the military at the front, and these are the civilians who, unfortunately, were killed by the aggressor russia, thank you. to the military and eternal memory to those who stayed in the year 23 and gave us a chance at life. i wish you to be mature and be wise. everything that will happen in this 24th year largely depends on us. let's do more, be able to do more, believe, dream, support the armed forces of ukraine. everything is in

our hands, if we do even more than we can, everyone, victory will be, there will be. this is the best, take care himself. goodbye. a special performance of the legendary group mertvyi piven with an orchestra at the lviv opera with a program of christmas and selections. christmas compositions and favorite super hits. on january 8 , the stage of the lviv opera. tickets on the website of the big show ua organizer. information partners, espresso tv channel and radio fm halychyna. live sound. joint problems limit movement. it is unpleasant and painful.

ukraine's energy infrastructure, lost, unfortunately, bahmud, hoped for a counterattack, and also witnessed environmental disaster after the destruction of the kakhovka hydroelectric power station. actually, there were many events, there were many statements, there were many hopes and there were many victories, in particular in the foreign and political sphere. how do you, my dear friends, rate this year, how was this year for you personally, olya? well, you know, on the one hand, we can say that this year we really endured, especially last winter, when, well, remember last winter, at that time we already had no light there, well, practically, there were always some problems, which now not even but on the other hand, you know, it's such a... a year of, to a certain extent, the loss of illusions, i guess, that

you can win a war in one fell swoop, or that you can afford to rely heavily on outside forces, so i think the lesson, which we took from this year, this is what we should be, self-sufficient in many areas, and we should strive for it, but if we make this... conclusion, it will be what will determine our victory. thank you, antina. well, olya lenin just said an extremely important phrase, it was, i think, paraphrasing my colleague a little, it was there was a farewell to illusions, yes, because at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, when everyone lived on one side, in such a huge neurosis, yes, experiencing every day, there almost every hour, then everyone received such a light stroke ... there were certain hopes, multiplied by one or another hope, that

the americans were about to push, the european union was about to finally put pressure on berlin, berlin would find an opportunity to single out the taurus, and this 23rd year, it was a year with on the one hand, it was a year of farewell to illusions, on the other hand, it was the establishment of such a tough, slow, but civilizational perspective, when we talk, for example, about... the realization of the deepening of what is called european integration hopes, that is, when we are already moving to concrete negotiations, it means that we are moving on new rails, to a new status. well, but the key story, of course, is the huge number of dead, that is, the huge number of wounded, the huge trauma that our society has experienced over the course of 23 years, yes, because people on the one hand hoped for these or other tales. kind and generous political scientists , about the fact that the day after tomorrow we

are about to cross the border, on the other hand, people saw something a little different, or completely different, so the 23rd year is a meeting of the hoped-for and the real, the real unfortunately, these are difficulties, blood, and the 24th year will be a deepening, a continuation of certain processes, about which we will talk about the 24th year, roman, what year did you see and what happened? the main thing is to be secondary and possible, did this year live up to your expectations? absolutely not, and it is very tragic year, and antin already mentioned this, we again have a skew, depopulation in connection with the war, we see how many millions of people we lost, we lost the most active part of society and we will continue to lose it in the 24th year, because this the most motivated defenders. and we get a skewed pyramid, and

we now have a transition from one illusion to another, that is , if this was the year when we buried the illusions from there, i don’t know, bodanov also said that he wanted to drink coffee in the fall in yelts, so not one arresting we her, i.e. not only arrestovych, we have lost these illusions from the point of view that this is a war, this is a war, this illusion, but now we have started to play with a new illusion, a fast euro. integration, joining nato, as if in a world in which international law has been destroyed, there is simply no answer to the question, how to integrate ukraine, the largest and... european state, when foreign troops are stationed on its territory and there is a war going on, they do not have an answer, and now they are trying to quickly spoon-feed us with new illusions, well, i will personally tell about my impressions about the year 2023, because it seems to me that the 23rd year has become the rubicon of what placed, placed

the dots in our, let's say... yes, first of all, illusions, and secondly, hopes, well, it's not surprising, because i agree with antin, because we may have lost the illusion of a quick end this war, and unfortunately, we were losing those illusions with the best people, and many people, unfortunately, died during this war, that's the first thing, and secondly, putin, i think, is also losing the illusion that he can ... take all of ukraine, because ukraine is given a green signal regarding european integration, which means that it will also be euro-atlantic integration, it seems to me that this eternal question, russia or europe, was decided in 23, because for several centuries and, especially

during the last century, ukraine stood in front of it for quite a long time. the choice is russia or europe, it seems to me that the ukrainians and ukraine and europe, most importantly, decided that after all , ukraine will be with europe, and now we will talk about it, because in fact, this is a very important signal, the europeans gave the ukrainians at the end of 2023 , opened negotiations on ukraine's accession to the european union, it is clear that it will not solve these of ours. problems, but it gives us an answer to how civilization treats ukraine and how civilization wants to see ukraine. on december 14-15, the summit in brussels put an end to the issue that many ukrainian

politicians have been working on, probably since the mid-90s, regarding european integration. antin, can we say that this issue has already been finally resolved, that is, that ukraine will definitely be with europe, and that there will be no more attempts to drag us into eurasian economic cooperation there, in a customs union or an alliance with russia, as it has happened many times in our history, well , unfortunately, on the one hand, i would like to be optimistic. the city is not an optimistic scenario, it should have sounded like this, of course, never ukraine, no, no, no, no, no, but there were tragic periods in ukrainian history, yes, and we understand how it ended, for example, the period of ivan mazepa, he ended with a rather unpleasant hundred, second, third elite, i am so ironic, yes, how the ukrainian national revolution

of the 18-20s ended with war and occupation, but now there is a huge... chance for ukraine, because civilized humanity, the westernized world perceives ukraine as a part of itself, that is, they do not perceive us as some, i don't know, remote islands, which is unknown where it is happening, that somewhere within the borders of the russian empire, no, they saw political formation, economic benefits, and they saw commonality, but on the one hand , ukraine needs to return to what is uniquely ukrainian history, that is, in particular , we are talking about a certain civilizational foundation. a certain civilizational base, yes, in which ukraine has always been europe, a part of europe , that is, it is the history of the commonwealth of nations, the grand duchy, the lithuanian, i don’t know, stay within the borders of the polish crown, and so on, and so on, and when what is called ukrainian identity was being built even within the borders of the russian empire in 17 century, that is , ukraine is coming back to itself, how

brave and ready financial europe will be to involve us and how quickly, the key story is that we... received this green rocket from brussels, yes, where they signed and started a serious process, this is huge plus, to the extent that it will be supported by money, because european integration is not only about the flag of the european union and not about beethoven's ninth symphony, which is the anthem of the european union, it is about money, it is about transportation, it is about the agricultural market, it is about transit, it's about labor force, about ukrainian land. who will take care of them , ukrainian traders or traders, for example, german traders and so on, that is, this is a huge, huge problem case, on the other hand, we understand that the european union during... a large-scale invasion and war, which is not known when it will end with our victory, in what format, whether putin will be, whether putin will lie in the grave and

some patrushev shoigu will come, what will be done with our system of power, europe always tries to delay the decision of such global things, i.e. and for this they have that protocol number 57/264 of the maastricht charter amended at... a meeting of the european commission after 10 years and so on and so on, that is, they have a powerful bureaucracy that allows them to stretch the process in time until the moment, when they are ready. but the key story for us is to get legal, predictable and stable funding from the european union. this is how we understand that war consumes resources not only, not only human, not only financial, but also development. and the european union will not be directly. to completely cover all our needs, well, we hope that the americans will stop us, but the european union will make sure that the mechanisms that work in spain, in italy,

in germany or in poland, so that they work and apply to our financial realities, that is, i think that the europeans, no worse than the americans, counted who took out how many digital billions, so to speak, to the cayman islands or somewhere else there, that is, they understand the whole matter very well, and they can also catch it, but.. .. they will not do all this, that is, it does not allow that we can have this, like the turkish scenario, that we will go to europe forever? i hope not, well, but taking into account moscow's intentions, that is , moscow is interested in the longest possible war, that is, their question, so that no one can to build certain planning horizons of such final ones, that is, as it was in the polish version, poland fulfills certain conditions, joins the european union, it is stretched to a couple. years, everyone understands plus-minus like this with ukraine and with the russian-ukrainian war, but you know even if there is a turkish woman who

was also going to europe all this time and whether it was bad for turkey on the way to europe, the turkish woman became a regional leader on the way to europe built a good enough economy and it's all on the way to europe, so it's not there we still don't know if she will get there or not, but the path itself... it's good enough for her , that's why i'm not saying that at all, you know what is achievable there, unattainable there after how many years, you have to understand that sometimes progressing somewhere at all is self-sufficient, because moving towards the eurasian space, well , it is to a certain extent moving into such a dead end, beyond which there is nothing, which they tried to drive us into this dead end 10 years ago, when the euromaidan began, of dignity, in fact, this choice was the civilization of ukraine to go to europe, and in principle we have already reached the threshold of the european union, and

i hope that we will cross this threshold, 27 countries, big negotiations, olya, what do you think, will ukraine cope in the conditions of war, and well, personnel, first of all, i think, because these negotiations require quite large human resource resources in order to re... conduct all these procedural issues in order to conduct negotiations, and then the european union will decide whether we are worthy to be a member of the eu or not? well, i am absolutely sure that we have all the opportunities, and all the negotiators, and all the necessary staff who can do it, we have there is no problem with that, we have a problem with how wide a range of people are involved in some processes that are now political. we have, well, enough , we now have such a closed circle of people who make decisions, quite opaque decisions, sometimes, on the one hand, during the war, this is

important in security matters, but in the matter of moving to europe, it should be an open process , it should be a very inclusive process, and there would be strength in this, if the largest layers were like that. politicians were involved in this, because today's the whole story, when someone somewhere got tired of ukraine, yes, there they tell how some countries could get tired, which, excuse me, spent, well, at them, first of all, no one shoots anything, their economy has not deteriorated, they are all growing , continue to grow, for example, in the same united states, we are not talking about europe now, in the united states, for the first time, the lowest level... unemployment there, i don't know the last 10 or even 20 years, that is, there are no problems at all in there is no connection with this, these are not such problems that are worth talking about

it would be... to say, they have other problems, but they are not structural problems, and in this case , they can get tired of that war, which is going objectively far from them, only in one case, when we do not finalize , when we don't work with them enough , diplomatically, informationally, it's not enough for them , well, we open our some things there, this, you understand, it's not only some kind of conviction, it's more... such a sphere, it's some cultural influences, it's some actions, this is something that is not only, you know, formed on the fact that here we come and ask, give give, give, but where can we show that we can give ourselves, and we can offer, we have to offer, we can give, we have enough, we also have in the end eurovision showed that we have a beautiful culture that is beautifully consumed world,

it is not so about culture. sorry, this is pop culture, after all, this is pop culture , ukraine has to show itself as an important transit territory, as a safe territory that would form what is called the security policy not only of the euro-atlantic community , but of the european union, that is, it is cooperation between lithuania, latvia, estonia, poland, the czech republic, slovakia, hungary and romania. hungary is not for nothing, that is, ukraine should be one of the flagships of the formation of what is called without... this does not mean that such a formula was adopted there, no, well, we have a lithuanian-polish, ukrainian brigade as a model to show how it works , test piece, model, but from the point of view of whether europe is ready to consider scenarios, for example, how do we do this one, let's call it european.

the eastern bloc, so from these states, without having an answer to the question of how much, what to do with these territories, which will remain, for example , occupied at the end of the war, we understand that nothing will happen until there is some piece of paper, and it will not be a victory for the cinema and the germans there, you know, that is, with reystags and everything, that is definitely possible be the end of the war, there are many scenarios that can include, including occupied territories or the presence of the enemy on ours, what part is integrated? offered, for example, on the return of the territory, they have the same legal status as the rest of ukraine, which is not was occupied, there is no response model in europe, so we can’t, we can now guess on the bubbles in champagne, no, well, we can watch as he doesn’t want, for example, the same, well, i think orban is a political blackmailer like him does not want ukraine to be a member of the european union, because he does not

want his state to be. received less subsidies from the european union than ukraine, because he understands that ukraine is a bigger country. the question here is that, you, you mentioned the americans, that we need to have a dialogue with the americans, explain to them what we are like, and so that they know more about us, we need to explain first of all to our neighbors who we are, and first of all to the hungarians, because if orbán is there for a long time. at the head of this state and has such views, so there is no question, well , in hungary they trust him, which means that we have some problems with hungary, and if they do not want us to be members of the european union, then what kind of neighbors are they anyway, which i will tell you like this, looking at hungary, looking at hungary, in general, i believe that we have no claims to us, neither in terms of democracy nor in terms of corruption cannot be a priori, because

against the background of hungary, we are angels in general, but if you say that we can, you know, strangely enough, i remember our politician, and i think that we can still compete there, i'm begging you, i can tell you, i can tell you so much physiognomy, i just don't want to waste time on it, not only, well, along the entire perimeter of our cordonusan and about bad hungarians, that's right, but i'm up to what you know. strangely enough, even russia's attempt to block the export of grain from ukraine suddenly showed the whole world how much ukraine turned out to be a globally important country, that is, it turned out that we always thought that we were somewhere in uzbek, that we were somehow integrated into something there, here it turns out that if there are no normal supplies of grain from ukraine, then it turns out that it suffers the whole world suddenly, i think if you look at how many we have... there are

different ee
