results that were in history literally a week ago in the history of the ukrainian state and all of that history. however, before starting our... such a conversation, i suggest you watch a video of how drones hit an oil depot in the city of azov this night in palalo, rostov region, russia, and at least five explosions were heard there. let's see how it was.

glory to the armed forces of ukraine and death russian occupiers. friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on ours. platforms on youtube and facebook, for those who are currently watching us on these platforms, please subscribe to our pages, and also take part in our survey, today we ask you this question, is it justified to raise taxes during a war? yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube, yes, no, and if you have your own personal opinion, please write in the comments below this video, if you watch us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote if you think wartime tax increases are justified (0800-211): 381 no 0800 211 382 all calls to these numbers are free vote

at the end of the program we will tally up this vote. i would like to introduce today's first guest, mykola knyazhytskyi, people's deputy of ukraine, chairman of the verkhovna rada subcommittee on cultural policy. mr. mykola, i congratulate you, thank you for joining our broadcast. hello, thank you for the invitation. well, since we asking our tv viewers whether they think raising taxes during wartime is justified, let's take a blitz poll. do you think this is a justified step, which is predicted, which is already proposed and discussed? there is no blitz here, because on the one hand, ukraine has one of the lowest taxes in europe and in many other countries, on the other hand, on the other hand, citizens do not always want to pay them when they see reports of corruption, so the issue is not only in taxes, issues in tax administration, in the transparency of the budget, in the transparency of their distribution, if it happens, then in this case it can be a setback. true, well, if this does not happen and there is mistrust, then it will be the same as what is happening with the central committee, when we all understand that

serving in the army, protecting the country, is the duty of every citizen, but the state continues to treat citizens as slaves, as it used to be in some empires, when people were captured, instead, having a wonderful recruiting tool that works very well, they give a third of all because of persuasion, not enough uses it, so with from my point of view we need funds. we need it even to pay our armed forces, but if we learn to trust our citizens, then we can raise taxes. thank you, mr. mykola, let's start our conversation with the trip, or rather, with the visit of vladimir putin to north korea, this is the first visit of the russian leader in the last 24 years to the territory of the korean democratic people's republic, and the russian dictator published on the eve of the visit. an article praising this country for its support the aggressor in the war against ukraine. putin stated that he is ready for close cooperation with north

korea in order to make international relations more democratic and stable. we highly appreciate the fact that the dprk, putin writes, resolutely supports russia's special military operation in ukraine, expressing solidarity with us on major international issues and adhering to a single line and position at the un. so, two or three days after putin started talking about... some kind of peace talks about, well, in the ultimate form, about peace talks with in ukraine, he went to actually form a new message of evil, or rather to shape it, which has already developed, does it look like this? well , it is obvious, as they say, to their own, to their own, dictator putin went to dictator kimchenin, went to dictator kimchinir, before that to his father, it is obvious that these are two anti-people regimes for their countries, these are two regimes that want the destruction of the world order , who are really part of this axis of evil, and find someone

bigger, who has no values, destroys his own people, and wants and threatens the world, in including nuclear weapons, than north korea, it is difficult to imagine, well, it is only russia, that is why they are such two acrobat brothers, as they say, putin and the leader of north korea, well , that is , there is no talk of any peace and any negotiations with putin now . behave, although we know that at the global summit, the mayor urged ukraine to enter into negotiations with the russian federation, and some of the participants of this global summit encouraged them to do so. peace must be negotiated with the other side, you are a supporter of what is needed in general such negotiations with the russian side and at what stage, and what should be the subject of such negotiations? well, i am convinced that you can talk about peace with those who want it and with those who are ready to approach it from the point of view of the justice of international law, this is definitely

not putin, he himself is not ready for any peace, all his ultimatums, they look terrible, the very summit we. on the one hand, this is a positive event, because we have been supported by quite a few countries, on the other hand, we can clearly see that the communique differs from zelenskyi's peace plan, i just support the peaceful zelenskyi's plan, but not the communique that was at this forum, because the communique was prepared based on those misleading proposals prepared by china and they waited until the last for china's presence at the forum, because of that they made such a rather soft communique, and thus it seems to me even worsened the international situation. which was after the un session, where they voted for harsher communiques, where russia was directly called an aggressor, here too, it is true, there is a paragraph about it, but everything else that is proposed, there is no de-occupation, no return of funds to ukraine, what’s in it there is no forum final communique because it was obvious that china would not sign it, although it was obvious to me that china would not come there, eh, because china, like south korea, is

in fact also an undemocratic, totalitarian, autocratic country that supports russia maybe not so clearly, because they transfer not weapons, but transfer technologies, transfer household equipment, they transfer dual-use goods, funds, so china, just like north korea, obviously supports the russian dictatorial the regime was not going to be at this forum, well , but considering the rather tense foreign policy week that passed, and we saw what happened this week. several events: a conference on the restoration of ukraine in germany, then a meeting of the big seven, then ramstein-23, then the ukraine-nato council, and a global peace summit, and we signed an agreement with the united states of america, the so-called security agreement, or can you say, that in the minds of our western partners, or

parts of our western partners, took place some drastic changes that prompt them to... er, to help ukraine more, to emphasize more on the fact that ukraine must defend itself with their weapons, and in this situation, the truth is on the side of ukraine, or is it still deceptive, we, we are somewhere at the same point, just an accumulation of events that indicate that, well, it happened that in one week ukraine became the center of attention of several international forums. no, in general, if you do not take the peace summit. where i also did not see any great evil, and what was there many countries that support us, this is just positive, but all other events were more positive, because after the elections in the european parliament, where the so -called right-wing revival did not take place, and those right-wing european forces that went there are forces that as the italian prime minister meloni's party supports

ukraine, despite the fact that they are right, in general i believe that starting with these elections to the european... parliament, the situation has changed in favor of ukraine, both at the g7 forum and in berlin, everywhere talked about supporting ukraine, signed a number of agreements, that's why in general, the support of the western world and democracy, it is not falling, it’s just that we are constantly hesitating between whether we need to find support in the western world, or whether we need to continue dancing around china and the global south, and it is clear that we need to build with them, try to diplomatic relationship, but expect theirs. aid is not worth it, but waiting for help from the united states and european countries is definitely worth it, and they have now testified that there will be more of this help, including military aid, so from this point of view, this is a positive week for of ukraine. following the results of the peace summit, volodymyr zelensky announced the preparation of the next steps, and he said that he had already held a meeting after the global

peace summit in switzerland, let's hear what zelensky said. no pauses now, actually now. we already have a preliminary work schedule for the summer months, we will not slow down the pace, we will keep communication with partners as active as before. ukraine never wanted this war, and it is natural that it most desires a just peace, and we see that it is possible. we are approaching peace. under during the visit of the visit to... switzerland during the global peace summit, volodymyr zelenskyi and andriy yermak talked about the possibility that representatives of russia will be included in the second peace summit in order to start some i... some conversation about peace, you is a supporter of the fact that at this second peace summit, which will be held at the end of the year, the russian federation should obviously be present, whether and if in

what status this country should be represented and what to talk about with them, it generally seems to me that this peace summit used to prepare based on our successful counteroffensive and the fact that many countries of the world will accept russian capitalization, and i support this approach, that is, i hope that after all... the key to victory is in the hands of the armed forces of ukraine, if there is sufficient support the armed forces of ukraine and ours, our armed struggle will be successful, i believe in it, then it is possible to accept the capitulation of russia there, or maybe fix some other status quo, i do not fully understand which one, because i do not have the impression that russia wants to stop unless we show hard power, even if they want to stop in... the way to fix it, it seems to me, will be unrealistic and impossible, because we will never recognize the territories occupied by the aggressor country, not ours, and they

will not agree to it either, because they are recorded in them absolutely illegal and unfair in their constitution, that is why putin does not name these four regions, because they wrote these four regions in their constitution, so they will continue to think that this is the territory of russia, and we, obviously , together with the entire democratic world, will to claim that it is so, that it is the territory of ukraine. therefore , i would not expect such a big and quick peace, although it is obvious that there is fatigue from this war in the russian federation as well, we do not know how much their economy suffers, because it is closed, i hope that it suffers a lot, including from the sanctions, the fact that the west imposed additional sanctions on china, on certain chinese financial structures, on the visa of chinese cars, and europe, and the united states of america, i think it's quite positive, it's a good sign for china in that what not... support russia as an aggressor country and i believe that the sanctions will work, when the sanctions were imposed against the financial sector of the russian federation, we see that the ruble

has jumped there and the yuan has become the main currency of china, this should all affect them somehow, but for now that their madness is not affected by anything else, as it seems to me, but meanwhile the italian prime minister george maloni emphasized at the peace summit that the achievement of peace should not be confused with the subjugation of one country by another, because this would create a dangerous. precedent for all, let's hear ms. maloney. protecting ukraine means protecting the system of rules that unites the international community and protects every country. if ukraine could not count on our support and was forced to capitulate, we would not be here today to discuss minimum terms for negotiations, we would simply be discussing the invasion of a sovereign state. and we can all imagine the consequences. dear colleagues, peace does not mean surrender, as president putin seems to suggest in his latest statements. by the way,

the day before, a number of mass media provided an incorrect simultaneous translation of melonia's words. if russia does not agree to these principles, we will force it to surrender, well, at least that's how it was translated, and our journalist yuriy fizer, after listening again... to miloni's speech, said that all this was incorrectly translated and incorrectly distributed. well, of course, we wanted the western powers to say to our western partners that if russia does not agree to these principles, we will force it to surrender, well , we would like to, but obviously this will not happen, and judging by the rhetoric of putin himself, what he said on the eve of the global peace summit, this is such an ultimatum two: the first was in december of the 21st year. when he spoke about the fact that nato should not expand eastward and that spheres of influence should remain with russia , including in ukraine. and so, mr. mykola,

literally a day after the global peace summit was held, putin's best man and former head of the banned opzh party, viktor medvedchuk, in an interview with tas, called for the occupation of odesa and other cities if ukraine does not agree to the capitulation offered by putin, i will quote. on medvedchuk, russia's security interests dictate the need for further hostilities in order to fight the neo-nazi regime in order to achieve complete demilitarization and physicalization. at the same time, it is clear that the interests of the zelenskyi regime and the interests of the ukrainian people are directly opposite, the ukrainians want peace, and zelenskyi with the western leaders of war, even at the cost of the extermination of the ukrainian people, and this people must be freed from this criminal nazi government. medvedchuk in the current situation no one, but someone, those who... put opzzh in the ukrainian government in the verkhovna rada and in local self-government bodies, as of the 20th year, more than 400 deputies

of various levels were elected. these. people joined some factions, created some new factions, some new groups, but they are in power, which should say what the ukrainian government should do, so that those people who represent medvedchuk and remain in the ukrainian government, after all were not in this government, well, first of all , it seems to me that returning to putin's quote, this is a quote about weakness, and medvedchuk released specifically to show someone, not in putin's words, that neither putin is giving up, because putin himself already this time about... denazification and demilitarization, he didn't say anything like that, he talked about four regions, about membership in nato, and to me everything seems to be so, which obviously also makes his statement absolutely shameful, but for me this statement by putin was to some extent putin's tantrum, a way to demonstrate that they are ready to gradually back down, because they really wanted all of ukraine, and now they are only saying about four regions that unacceptable, shameful, no one will talk to him about it, but for this it was a step back,

and when it was not for him. actions, then medvedchuk was released to show that supposedly no, we stand our ground so that it does not look like a humiliation of the russian federation, as for the members of the opz, well, obviously these people should not be in the authorities, we even submitted a corresponding draft law, but they are beneficial to the government, because when the government lacks votes, they are always ready to give these votes under the threat of being destroyed, and these are hostages of the government, political hostages authorities in the person of former deputies of opz of all districts. well, they continue to work, and it seems to me that this is a certain short-sightedness of the authorities, because at any moment they will be a weapon in the hands of the occupier, but by the way, the committee of voters of ukraine calculated that the representatives of the opzh or the former opzh or the current opzh in the verkhovna rada, they hold 30 positions there of deputy heads of parliamentary committees, secretaries of parliamentary committees, and it is

absolutely incomprehensible. well, a collision, because the opz party is officially banned in ukraine, it is hostile and one that works against ukraine, and the deputies who were elected from this party continue to write the laws by which society lives, continue to be tangential to state secrets, that is , there are a lot of questions about why, why in fact, they are sitting there, and regardless of the fact that medvedchuk obviously plans to return to ukraine, judging by his rhetoric, it is obvious that he... plans to lead some temporary, temporarily some kind of government there, well , this whole large network of opz, which is very dangerous there is ukraine, and obviously, obviously, this should be a decision made either at the level of the national security council or at the level of the president, well, that is, it should not be like this during a war, well , it should not be like this in principle, even if there was no war, it should not be like this , it's obvious that well you

said they write laws, i don't think they write anything. they vote for the authorities for what the authorities ask for, they themselves do not write anything, but at the local level, when they occupied our cities and towns, the largest number of collaborators were precisely from the representatives of this of political power, it is obvious and understandable why, now indeed these collaborators sit in the verkhovna rada, it simply demoralizes society, but as i have already said, the authorities need them, so they are simply used, and they are happy to serve in order not to get into "prisons, and if their powers or their parliamentary mandate... were to be nullified, this means that further on this list other people would have to enter, or in some way, well, the verkhovna rada could solve this issue, well , relatively speaking, remove from the vote and remove from the leadership of these see, remove it is possible from their leadership, well, they did not give leadership to pro-ukrainian opposition committees, for example, european solidarity had one head of the european integration committee and that was all, and there were no deputies there, there were none and

there are none now, they no longer want to vote for it. and opzzh they distribute all positions and all places. this can be done without any changes to the laws. this can be done simply by a decision of the verkhovna rada itself, where the majority belongs to the servant of the people faction. as far as legal restrictions are concerned, this is already an interpretation of the constitutional court, there are many different ways in which, when it is possible not to deprive them of their parliamentary powers, but to deprive them of participation in the meetings of the verkhovna rada in order not to have this influence. in principle, a lot was said and proposed about this, but, as i already said, the authorities are not ready to do this, so now this issue can be resolved. to say that it is dead, but the issue with the heads and deputy heads of the committees and with the leadership positions held by the members of the faction of the former opzh is certainly not dead, we constantly talk about it, but so far we have not been able to convince the majority to become our associates here, and so far i understand that you have not been able to convince the majority and become associates regarding the draft law on...
