it is important to pray to god, they will pray to god, regardless of the fact that now it will not be done through moscow. thank you, mr. volodymyr, friends, i would like to remind you that we are working live and today we are conducting a survey during our entire broadcast, we are asking you about whether the russian orthodox church will stop operating in ukraine after the adoption of the law, yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube , yes, no, or your own opinion, please write in the comments below this video. if you're watching us on tv, grab a dork. smartphone or phone and vote on the numbers 0800 211 381, if you believe that the adoption of the law, after the adoption of the law , the russian orthodox church will cease to operate in ukraine, not immediately, of course, but it will cease, no 0.800, 211, 382, ​​all calls to these numbers are free, vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote, one more important topic, mr. volodymyr and ms. solemiya, which... there is also

a problem facing ukraine, it is the fight against corruption, the internal corruption front is pressing, and we can see with messages from nabu and sap, we receive messages almost every day, deputy ministers, heads of the tsc, and heads of various state institutions, structures, they are accused of receiving bribes, of the fact that they do not live... on a salary, and we remember we know that on august 27, 2023, almost a year ago, volodymyr zelenskyy said that he would submit a bill to the verkhovna rada on equating corruption with treason, but as far as i remember, and maybe you can correct me, there was no such bill entered which reason this, is ukrainian legislation sufficient to fight. with ukrainian

corruption, and why is there so much corruption, why do we see so many cases of corruption during the war, ms. solimi? well, first of all, it is necessary to ask the colleagues of the servants of the people why the president did not introduce it, or those who actually work with the president, it is unlikely that we will find the right answer here, why it was not introduced, but in fact, frankly, i personally was already fed up with changes in legislation, responsibility for corruption and in the field of combating corruption, because the number of... bodies that have been created there in the last 10 years is already beyond measure, and every time there is a question of the effectiveness of these bodies, work, activities, whether they sufficiently detect corruption, whether they themselves are not corrupt, whether they themselves do not persecute , and do not have a conflict of interest when they investigate, we just went into endless reports, in particular public figures, which relate to just an immeasurable number of years and family, there should now report those

people who occupy certain positions, so it seems to me that we already have legislation here there are no issues, the issue is mostly with implementation, especially the imposition of punishments and sentencing in certain cases, in particular, matters that concern not only ministries and executive authorities, deputies, but also local authorities, very often their leaders, this time, two, is it enough, why, why do we see it so much during the war, especially during the war, the anti-corruption officer explains that the number of our anti-corruption bodies is large enough, and now their work can finally be seen, so these and such cases are public, dirty, but public, maybe so, but judging by the fact that who is now publicly speaking in our investigations and suspicions, starting from deputy ministers, ending with deputies, by the way, they returned again to... today

the head was finally replaced of the temporary investigative commission that deals with fortifications, this suggests, however, the integrity of not only the people who occupy key positions, but also the personnel policy and the offices of the president, which people are appointed, because it is obvious that it is not the parliament that decides in the last resort, who takes the place of a minister or deputy minister, unfortunately, unfortunately, not the parliament, and therefore the question here is about... personnel decision-making on bankova street and the effectiveness of bodies, in particular the judicial branch of government, using the existing legislative resource in anti-corruption issues. thank you, ms. solomi, mr. volodymyr, we remember this long history of creating anti-corruption bodies, and we remember that we have the most powerful legislation in... well, at least in europe, it is so

precisely anti-corruption, why its application, and especially prejudice against corruption before by committing a crime, why not from it'. is happening in ukraine, why are there so many corruption scandals during the war? i absolutely agree with solomia that the current legislation is enough to fight corruption, i am absolutely sure that the thesis of equating corruption with state treason will do nothing to fight corruption, it is just a cool and populist slogan, there is nothing else, so i am not surprised , that there is no draft law, because it will not give anything, why during the war you can hear and see. so much corruption, and because the war is accelerating, because the war intensifies all those phenomena that already exist in society, that is, the war manifests what is in people, unfortunately, in some it does not manifest heroism, as in the majority of those who defend ukraine with weapons in their hands, unfortunately, in whom does she show her own

likeness in someone, in other words, she does not even want to choose, when it is considered possible, necessary to earn money on the blood of her countrymen, i am sure that... it is possible and necessary, using the current legislation, using this anti-corruption infrastructure, which was built, to fight and even fight corruption, but unfortunately, when you know, it is clear that sometimes some corruption scandals eventually reach the highest leadership of the state and die down there, then this obviously inspires the corrupt, who understand that they can hide somewhere under the wing for that they are not affected by... unfortunately, we do not see any examples of the fact that if some corruption scandal affected volodymyr zelenskyi's closest circle, he, following the example of oneu's luke, said: "no, come on, this is my former friend, he has to sit in prison and so on, no, nothing has changed, how many theses there were about

corrupt people from the president's office, how much was said about corruption schemes that are crumbling directly by tatarov, president zelenskyi can't do it. i hear, nevertheless, president zelenskyi does not take any steps that would indicate that he is ready to stop it at this level, and this of course creates an opportunity for corrupt officials of a smaller scale, and maybe i will miss it, or maybe i will not be noticed ? by the way, you mentioned about zelenskyi's entourage, i remember how zelenskyi of the 2019 model asked petro poroshenko, his opponent, in the presidential race, why all your friends have both hands, they say, if someone steals, they should cut off their hands, i think what zelensky of the model of 2019 could ask zelensky of the model of 2024, what all my friends,

some of volodymyr oleksandrovich's friends have already grown a third hand in order to use that hand to rummage in the pockets of ukrainians, unfortunately, unfortunately, that's how it is, yes, yes, well, we will follow. behind these corruption scandals, because it is like some kind of tv series, that is, people are caught almost every day, and with such sums as, for example, deputy minister of energy hailo received a bribe of $500,000 for moving a part of a coal mine from the east of ukraine to volyn, that is also enough, you know what else is motivating? to the continuation of this series, which turns it into an endless one, and because there are no results, well, okay, well, they delayed, well, they showed everyone a picture with a bunch of dollars there or on the bed or in the trunk, what's next, who heard about the results of all this, who heard about the fact that this particular corrupt person will eventually

spend the next 10 years in prison, no one has heard of this, the story is over, let's move on to the next season, we will catch someone else, that is, this impunity is here and there i am motivated to continue, that's how it is... sport fishing, we catch fish and release them, thank you, we closed this topic as well, we will already follow this series, which will give, i hope, results. another topic, ladies and gentlemen, is that the ukrainian army entered the territory of the russian federation in kurshchyna, we see how military commanders are already being created there, and zelenskyi said that as for kurshchyna, the goal is to create a buffer zone or a sanitary zone, which putin dreamed of only from this side, and the ukrainian army is creating from that side, following the situation that is currently

developing in kurshchyna, ms. soloma, what can you say, whether ukraine will be able to keep this buffer zone and create such a one, i would rather call it a security zone for ukraine. when is this security zone created on the territory of the russian federation? well, first of all, i would like to emphasize that it is very important for us to label this operation as a defensive operation. this is a fundamentally important thing, especially for our partners, because very often they confuse something, especially in their questions, whether they gave us the right to use international technical assistance on the territory of the russian federation and so on and so on, it was brilliant and very good, that very few people knew about it when it started, and absolutely the right decision to have this buffer zone, an entire security zone, i just returned from sumy oblast the other day and i want to say that... despite, despite our admiration and respect for all military units, units of the defense security forces, that this

operation was carried out so quickly both in terms of time and quality, i would be very careful in my predictions about the possibility of holding certain territories under the condition of the accumulation of an offensive group on the part of the russian federation, this will happen sooner or later, moreover , it has already been mentioned in unofficial sources about the fact that putin gave the order to clean up these twisted territories. ukrainian troops from the territory of the russian federation, and knowing the nature of the potential and possible offensive and the behavior of the armed forces of the russian federation, we very often underestimate them, but we know how they carry out their sweeps, it's cabs, it's artillery, it's only then the infantry, because the infantry is theirs goes on the offensive with in the mix, you know why they are so active in the offensive, it is this fear of her retreat. to be punished, ordered, to spend the rest of the years there in black or killed, very often it's just murder, uh,

it, it goes off the scale, that's why i'm very, very worried about the fact that our troops will be able to skillfully and fight back, b, it will depend on the size, the quantitative size of the russian group that is going we are already on the line of this front, moreover, already several... are already quite active in terms of combat operations, and our task today is to maintain communication, primarily on the territory of the russian federation, b, possible rebs, fpv, drones and so on, all those brigades, all those brigades that are there today are working, and so are our other defense forces, so i was very careful, putin spoke about the first of october, by the way, today this was already widespread information on the internet, and i would very much like the following certain things to come out in the armed forces, which they there... they have, they have planned, in particular in that area, thank you, ms. solomi, mr. volodymyr, how did this kurdish operation

change the nature of the russian-ukrainian war, and how did it affect, how, how did it show the current regime of putin? well, first of all, she once again demonstrated skill of the armed forces of ukraine, a completely unexpected and large-scale and quick operation, which was not expected from it. not only the russians, but also our allies. secondly, it really showed russia's inability to defend itself. eh, because it is really a critical situation for the country, when the troops of a foreign country find themselves on the territory of the country for various reasons, and such a critical situation can either unite the country, or show a complete inability to unite. so the following happened in russia, exactly the second. that is, russia has shown that it is even direct the threat of, uh... a foreign army on its territory is not able to unite this

society, which putin has atomized for decades, so it seems to me that no matter how these events end, they will have such far-reaching consequences, and the third extremely important aspect is that , which is demonstrated by putin's statements and bravura statements about readiness for further de-escalation. in fact only statements, in fact only words, he does not have the ability, the potential, to further escalate this conflict, of course, we will see what happens next, of course still extremely it is important to understand how this operation will end for the armed forces of ukraine, for ukraine, but it seems to me that a lot of the things that have already happened, well, they significantly change the perception of ukraine once again and... can this special operation provoke putin to

further escalation, mr. volodymy probably provoked, that is, well, when already, as the second week has already passed, that is, it is time to show his, it seems to me that whatever he does not demonstrate now, it will be very difficult to show it as determination. thank you, mr. volodymyr, ms. solomi, what do you think? does putin have any argument left against the armed forces of ukraine? unfortunately, i think so, because the resource of the russian federation is surprisingly higher, and this concerns... the economy, their stability, this concerns the human resource, and their currently almost extensive contractual mobilization and sums for signing contracts, contracts, secondly, thirdly, their ability of the military-industrial complex, which today may have some problems, but it is not at all equal either in

in scale, nor in capabilities with our military-industrial complex, and in particular, for example, even the production of the same e... them aerial bombs, cabs, the parts for which and the chemistry for which they buy, in particular in china, that is why i am here unfortunately , is not an optimist that russia will fall faster than us, than we will lose, or will we wait for one of ours there, i am not an optimist here, because their economy speaks and the numbers are completely different, thank you, thank you, solomiya bobrovskaya and volodymyr vyatrovych were guests of today's our program, thank you for participation in the program, throughout our broadcast. friends, we conducted a survey and asked you whether the russian orthodox church will stop its activities in ukraine after the adoption of the law, or whether it will stop. so, the survey results are 40% yes, 60% - no. i will also remind you, friends, that until august 24, espresso is preparing a special project bright people in dark times, interesting stories about heroic people, interviews with viktor yushchenko, svyatoslav shevchuk, serhiy plakhey, and

invite interesting guests to talk with them about interesting topics. and today's interlocutor, ms. anneli kolk, the ambassador of the republic of estonia, will talk to her about something important. on mutual relations between estonia and ukraine, about help. which we have received, continue to receive, and i am sure will continue to receive from our brotherly country, and about many other things. madam ambassador, i congratulate you, thank you very much for joining me today, for coming here, thank you, thank you so much, thank you very much for inviting me, thank you, look, the first question will be, estonia is a relatively small country compared to other european countries, of course there are smaller ones, but estonia... is small, but despite all this, we received a lot of help from your country, both financial and military, what is this, i don't know, paradox, maybe why this is

so, or is it because of the knowledge of history, or maybe something else is hidden in it? yes, of course, one of the main reasons is that we have a shared history. the soviet union tried to erase, eradicate our language, our de-russification and culture, and we know what to do with our common neighbor. of course, this was one of the reasons, but i think the main one. the reason why estonia helps, has helped and will continue to help to help ukraine is that estonians love ukrainians very much, we

admire how you behave against this russian evil, how you bravely and resolutely fight brutality, genocide, war crimes, and... i think this is the biggest the reason why estonia wants to help ukraine, and this brutal war has been going on for more than two years, and the passion of estonians for ukraine is growing even more, is growing because you continue to defend your country, fight for your people, for your cultural identity. all this is very expensive and very close to eastonians, well, on the one hand , it's bad that this common history, which you mentioned, unites us, and on the other hand, it's good that it unites us, because we

feel how much we are close to each other, even though we are separated by some, some kilometers separate us, and none the less, but speaking of aid, are there any statistics on how much aid, for example, military or financial, we have already received currently from estonian. estonia has provided more than 26 million euros since the start of the full-scale invasion humanitarian aid and this as government state aid, aid from the private sector and ordinary ordinary citizens, in relation to military aid it is more. if we compare it with gdp, then estonia provided aid for more than 1-3% of its gdp, which means that we are

one of the most active countries supporting ukraine. in addition, the estonian government decided at the end of last year that they will allocate for the next four. years annually 0.25% of our gdp for ukraine specifically for military aid, for reconstruction, so our aid will definitely continue, and estonia will do everything possible to increase humanitarian and other aid to ukraine, well , i can only answer this in estonian, i 'll try, madam ambassador, let... don't criticize my accent too much tananteitvaga for everything estonia does for us. well, but look, one more point, a few months ago the parliament

of estonia passed a law. then this law was ratified by the president of estonia, which this law allows the use of frozen russian assets to compensate for the damages that russia has caused in this war of aggression in ukraine. already several months have passed, it seems two months have passed since this law came into force, have there been any transfers, this is the first question, to ukraine, i mean, and the second question is whether other western countries have followed the example of estonia , because estonia was. a western country that passed such a law. of course, estonia was one of the first countries that started to say that there is no need to use frozen russian assets to rebuild ukraine, because the aggressor has to pay a price for it. and we were one of the first countries, which was two years ago

said that we need to... start the reconstruction, the restoration of ukraine already during the war, we don't need to wait until it ends, because we need to give people hope and help refugees, those who left ukraine and then started to return, so we tried understand, analyze all possible ways in order to coercion. regarding the use of frozen russian assets for the restoration of ukraine, and these assets are not only state assets, they are also the property of private individuals and legal entities in estonia. and all those who are under

international sanctions, the law was passed recently, and the regulatory processes are still ongoing, because everything must comply with international rules, so that we do not create unnecessary problems for ukraine in the coming years, so we are working on it now, and i think we have a great progress in this direction is coming from... hopefully we can demonstrate to the whole world that this is possible, that it is possible to use all the frozen assets and the profits from those assets, not just the direct profits for the fact that we held these assets before, and you set a very good example for western countries by passing this law, other countries, in your opinion, personal

opinion, why don't they pass such laws , just your personal opinion because of fear, or maybe something else? it is very difficult for me to say why certain countries do something or do not do something, but i think that there are still some legal issues, legal issues that... are not discussed, but in estonia , our national legislation really tried to do this in such a way lead to such an appearance, to prove that we can do it without violating european or international legislation, i really hope that the western partners will see this, and will not delay and pass similar laws in their countries, well, but now we move on to something else, ah. .. the post-war

reconstruction of ukraine, after all, even this reconstruction is already underway in different parts of ukraine, including those that were under temporary occupation in the first days of the war. tell me, please, does estonia have any projects, in this case state or non-state projects, which ones helps rebuild ukrainian cities and villages? yes, yes, of course, as i already said. we started this work already in the 22nd year, and all these projects related to recovery in ukraine began then, in particular in the zhytomyr region, this is conditionally our, our region, our region, since estonia is a small country, and we have limited resources, and we thought , that it is necessary to approach the issue of restoration of ukraine in a very

complex way, so we... we chose one area, one region for ourselves.
