in this principality, andrei bogolyubsky was a dictator, killed by his own subjects, who were tired of his dictatorship, and who threw his body simply to be eaten by dogs, and only because it was found in this principality. some random person from kyiv, that prince was buried with dignity, because this kyivan, as the ancient russian chronicles also tell , believed that it was necessary to treat the institutions of power with respect, and there in these lands it was very simple: as long as you are the master, we obey you and do everything , whatever you want, but as soon as we... kill you

if we fight, then let the dogs follow you. this is the kind of statehood, the statehood of idlers who dream of revenge, not the statehood of free people. and that is why the question always arises, how can we coexist on the borders with such a state, where dictatorship and slavery have long since become a symbiosis. and here again i have to answer. put to the question, what kind of ukraine do we want, we want a ukraine in which we would not mention russia at all. i still hear all the time from my compatriots that the situation with the russian-ukrainian war and the future of ukraine will change exactly when russia changes. it will fall apart, putin will die, and maybe there will be democracy at all. of course,

it is much better to have a neighbor who does not shoot you with missiles than a neighbor who wants to destroy you at any moment. but the ukrainian people cannot depend their entire history on what will happen in russia. all principled decisions of the ukrainian people throughout their recent history, during at least the 20th and 21st centuries, have always been a reaction to... what is happening to the russians: the february revolution of 1917, we declare the autonomy of the ukrainian people 's republic, the october coup in petrograd in 1917, we declare the independence of the ukrainian people's republic, the russian federation adopts a declaration of its state sovereignty, and the verkhovna rada.

of ukraine adopts a declaration on its state sovereignty. the russian leadership announces that it has defeated the union center, and now the main figure in moscow will be the president of the russian federation, and the ukrainian parliament passes the act of independence. putin decides that he can attack us and to annex crimea and start a war in donbas, and a large number of our compatriots understand that we need... decommunization, strengthening the army, our own independent life. russia is starting a big war with us, and a large number of our compatriots are switching from russian to ukrainian and believe that they don't need any more pushkin monuments in every city park. putin is not going to stop the war. verkhovna rada. of ukraine

eventually decides that there should be no churches with centers in moscow in ukraine. well, how long can you tell me, please, how long can you live in this situation of eternal dependence? no, we need, like our neighbors to the west , to live in such a way that we are interested in how the russian federation is developing, exclusively as tourists. democracy is great, dictatorship again - we sympathize, they ate each other, we are surprised, they launched a satellite into space, great scientific potential, but we don't get away with it, we have our own language, our own history, our own decisions, our own satellites, we need such a country, which would no longer be...

afraid of an attack from russia, and which approved b decisions about their future, without paying attention to these processes that are taking place in... the state, which our territories were a part of for so long. we should depend on our own capabilities, not on how russian history will change. tingling, numbness, bother you? the dolgit antineuro complex helps to normalize the functioning of the nervous system. dolgit antineuro capsules - help for your nervous system. ukraine-albania only. namego: the conclusions after the euros are made, now it's time for the league of nations, where we need a win in every match! cheer on september 7 at 9:45 p.m., exclusively on megogo. oh, i remember, you see, although they say that our memory weakens with age, but i am attentive and remember everything. we

norms change our lives, what should we prepare for? leading lawyers of the aktum bar association will answer these and other questions that concern ukrainians. watch every tuesday here. 55 in the legal expertise program on the espresso tv channel. we must convince ours allies in the west, that our place is in the north atlantic alliance. the price of the encroachment of our lands for moscow must become so high. that she must give up this ambition once and for all, and this is the main meaning of this war in which we live with you now. yes, when our troops hold the front

in the east, when our troops enter the so -called sovereign territory of the russian federation, when citizens who... live here in ukraine, live in this atmosphere of air alarms, drone flights, infrastructure problems, economic crisis, we do this precisely because we believe that we should receive reliable protection, we deserve this reliable protection, because we are by and large the first country in europe in... the 21st century, which at the expense of the lives of its own citizens, protects those the principles of international law that were established after the second world war, the inviolability of borders, respect

for human life, the ability to solve problems between countries not by war, but by negotiation diplomacy, all that... that modern russia has trampled, and why, tell me , we then we have to be between the world that follows these rules and this country that has these rights. spitting, this is not a rhetorical question, this is a question that our politicians, our diplomats, representatives of our civil society, that our journalists should constantly ask our friends in the west, why does ukraine actually have one, if we are not talking about weapons. not about money, but about people, but the most valuable thing is people, to defend all these values ​​that are

common to us, just because western countries will fear the threat of the third world war, but if you are not able to protect your values, and the experience of all world conflicts speaks of this, by the way, a world war will definitely begin. agreements with stalin, looked for alliances, thought about how to conclude a dialogue so that a new war does not start. well, what, in principle

, did they, i'm sorry, argue with hitler and stalin, that hitler's army came to warsaw, and the soviet army came to lviv, and the second world war began, all that by and large, if we talk about the competition of values. continues today, and i am sure that the way the russian-ukrainian war will end will depend on how the world of the future will look, and this is not some megalomania, and not some desire to place ukraine at the center of world politics, you know, that i just never engage in such ... rhetorical devices, it is simply a cold statement of facts: if the democratic world cannot

prove that it is capable of protecting its own values ​​and those countries that choose democracy and their development, he will thus prove the strength of dictatorships and strengthen their ambitions in europe, in asia, and on all continents. you and i understand very well that russia, which could crush ukraine, would not stop at ukraine, it would definitely try to create the so-called soviet union within the borders of 1991, most importantly, it could frighten europe so that the europeans themselves voted b for politicians who would promise them that they would definitely come to an agreement with putin, and so on... europe, by the way, may arise, may still arise, if we lose this war, and it

will not be europe in the 1930s of the 21st century, it will be europe in the 1930s of the 20th century, we will go back 100 years, history it will simply go back, it happens, it happened many times in our history, in the history of mankind, when history went backwards. and so fast that no one could even understand what was happening. and what will happen if ukraine wins, is able to protect its sovereignty, becomes a member of nato and the european union. if the civilized world forces russia to stop the war we will live in a world of triumph of democracy. in a world where the parallels between development and democracy will be obvious. in the world. where the ambitions of the dictatorships will be effectively set to zero, and not only putin

will no longer try to climb somewhere and conquer something else, but also xi jinping will stop dreaming that he will be able to destroy democracy in taiwan by military means, but the iranian ayatollahs will not think that they will destroy israel will create opportunities for a new war in the middle east, everyone will realize that an attack on democracy leads to... the opposite result, and this is a choice between the worlds in which world we want to live as a result, in the world of democratic development of the 30s of the 21st century, or in the world of populism, an agreement with russia, the right of radical

dictatorships of the 30s of the 20th century , do we want back, or do we want... forward, and it is precisely on this that the development of the civilized world as such depends, and precisely on this is connected the fate of those who help us today in the war, and not only our fate, and therefore, i confidently say that the future of all of europe will depend on how the war in ukraine ends. and even north america. the strength of europe and north america, the ability of democracy to defend itself. you may remember that since february 2022, i have been saying and writing that if it is not possible to stop the war in ukraine and if it is not

possible to stop russia, this war will become globalized. i even called specifically. cities that will be bombed after ukrainian cities. i said that the tragedy experienced by kharkiv or mariupol could be repeated tomorrow in kiryat shmona and metula. and, let's say, my readers in israel did not believe me, but now they do, because these cities are at the epicenter of rocket attacks, and today, it was massive. shelling, and i spoke about it in february, march 2022, and now i repeat it again, if this war does not end, it will become even more and more globalized and it will be even more and more he, because this is the logic of the opposition to the democracy of the dictatorships. i have repeatedly quoted

the text written by the then speaker. us house of representatives nancy pelosi when she flew to taiwan, which she believes is at the epicenter of the conflicts between democracies and dictatorships, and that's the essence of what's going on, and that's why it's globalizing and becoming quite a challenge for the world we live in. therefore, stopping this war with a russian defeat, a ukrainian victory is not only our business since... in 2022, i said that if this war continues, it will definitely come to the territory of russia itself, and everyone was skeptical about this too and said : this cannot happen, ukraine cannot fight on russian territory, the president of the united states statov said that he did not want the war

to come to the territory of russia, so that the russians would suffer from the war. and now he doesn't speak anymore, and now on the territory of the kurdish region of the russian federation, westerners are fighting with western weapons. now german leopards are driving around the territory of the kurdish region of the russian federation, and not a single german politician says mind, this cannot happen after the second world war, it turns out, maybe? this is the logic of... the conflict, but we are not just hostages of this conflict, like you you see, we are its participants, and we have to tell the world, tell all those who think about the future of the modern world, that this is not just

our war, as many... already believe, it is a joint war, the survival of all those , who would like to live in a democratic, civilized world, who would like to have rights, who would like his life not to be encroached upon by those for whom the very value of life is meager, because in dictatorships the value of life is always meager, there is only life one person who is a dictatorship is on the mountain, all others are just material, so it always has to start with someone, after all. you and i are in the city where ukrainian freedom began in the 80s and 90s of the last century, you

remember it well, people from other regions of ukraine came to lviv then to breathe this air of ukrainian freedom, to see people who they still remembered what a free society might look like. and voted for these political forces that advocated the idea of ​​a free society, while the majority of our compatriots voted for the communist party of ukraine, you can hear the ukrainian language on the streets, how can it be that they speak ukrainian on the streets of a big city, they probably don't know anything else at all, you remember all this well, it was the beginning and... in i always have a question to which i have a clear answer: what would have happened to ukraine if there had not been this beginning, if

there had not been galicia, which was ready to remind ukrainians that they are ukrainians and that they free ukrainians, and that they are ukrainian-speaking ukrainians, that then it would be with our history and with our state, i will tell you what happened, it would be belarus. that's all that happened, and we should always remember that if we didn't have a territory in our country that understood what ukraine is and what freedom is, even when the majority of people who lived in the ukrainian ssr did not realize this, we could live. but other life, in general, this is, i would say, stalin's fatal mistake: latvia, lithuania,

estonia, galicia, well, let him turn over a couple more times in his grave, he is embalmed there lies, so i can turn over, but why am i reminding you of all this, because... the struggle for freedom always begins with something, even in a hopeless situation, the people of lviv believed in this freedom, even when for the blue-yellow icon, you were kicked out of the meeting hall of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, remember, they were just kicked out, the people of lviv believed in that freedom when there was no referendum on the renewed union in the territory of the lviv ivano-frankivsk oblasts, and the majority of the citizens of the ukrainian ssr voted for this

renewed union, hoping, probably, that it there will be some new state where they will be able to find their place together with the russian people, and the dzuskis did not, and now they probably already understand why. even now , this struggle for freedom in the world we live in, this struggle against dictatorships and the awareness of how dangerous they are, can begin precisely in ukraine, with the readiness of the ukrainian people to fight, endure, find non-standard solutions, and it can. .. later in history, this period will be precisely connected with the understanding that it was

ukraine that all this began, and so in the future someone will definitely ask at the same meeting, but not in ukraine. and tell me , please, what would happen if ukraine surrendered? if she agreed to the russian conditions, if she decided to live according to the russian plan for the future. what would happen to all of us? no, this question will not be heard for one simple reason, because in dictatorships no questions are asked. and if ukraine surrendered, it would be the first step towards the defeat of democracy in everything. civilized world, and now i am absolutely sure that this defeat will not happen, and therefore i i am sincerely proud of all those people who were

ready to protect... ukraine both in 2014 and in 2022. i am proud of people who consider themselves ukrainian people. people quite often of different ethnic origins, people of different faiths, people who look at ukraine differently, who have a different image of ukraine, because it is different in lviv, in kyiv. in poltava, in kharkiv, in chernihiv, in uzhhorod, namely, from these different images , the ukraine that people are ready to fight for, that they are ready to die for, that they do not want to leave, during these... 33 years, many

events in the history of ukraine, in her life, frankly surprised me, some events positively surprised me, i remember this enthusiasm of the maidans, i remember their people who flocked like a river to maidans, so that they are not dispersed. i remember queues at weapon shops and at tsk tutu. lviv and other cities of ukraine in the first days of the great war. i remember many events that frankly surprised me. and in the elections, and when the society reacted to the challenge in a strange way. but at the same time, unlike volodymyr putin, i want to tell you one important thing: so far everything is going according to my plan. according

to the plan that i drew for myself on august 24 , 1991, when i saw on the scoreboard the voting numbers for the act of independence of ukraine, and i believed, although we were all not ready, that it would happen so quickly, that ukraine would develop, that ukraine would to change, that ukraine will be a european state, the most important thing i believed in. then, that ukrainians would become ukrainians, although it was not easy to believe then, but i believed, and that is how it happened, is happening and will continue take place with our participation and in front of our eyes. glory to ukraine.

dear mr. vitaly, thank you very much for the meaningful, meaningful lecture, and i would like to take this opportunity to convey my most sincere wishes and congratulations on behalf of the 92nd separate assault brigade named after ataman ivan sirk, which is currently holding back the enemy's onslaught in kharkiv oblast, and to tell you that there is a feeling that you and i are in the same formation, that we are in the same trench. you and i are carrying out the same task of restoring and strengthening ukraine, in contrast to such a broad one stratum of society and power in general, the actual question relates to the topic of your lecture, it seems to me that independence is a concept that is asserted more by deed than by word, in connection with this

such a question, or not.. . a question of responsibility, the responsibility of a man, you take up arms and you defend the country with your own life, the responsibility of a person who understands everything, knows, foresees, and at that time does not go into politics, but it is not a question of not taking on authority, maybe it is not applies only to you, it is generally like this question, but if people with great understanding, with great patriotism... with great knowledge of the cause-and-effect relationship, how to act, do not go into politics, they do not open the way in politics to outright ignoramuses, outright enemies who are destroying ukraine . thank you for your question. for me, any activity is related to professionalism. and, to be responsible for people who are not professionals.
