again, we had new vacant positions, this is a rather negative practice, and i hope we will avoid it in the future, and there are other possible reasons that arise from reformatting, for example, ministries, you know that one of the reasons, probably the main reason the dismissal of the previous minister of regional policy in our country, mr. kubrakov , the future reorganization of his ministry was announced. and to date, this is the first step towards this reorganization, the appointment of a minister who will deal with the relevant direction, i think that the nearest in two months, we will receive a division or division of this ministry into two: one that will deal with infrastructure, the other that will deal with regional politics, as the people's deputies who initiated the corresponding changes insisted. and why was this not done earlier, well, that is, in fact, kulaba

was appointed to the same position that oleksandr kubrakov held. several months have passed since his release. and we are just now talking about the fact that after some time this ministry will be divided, why so? this was, accordingly, the president's proposal agreed with the prime minister, and probably based on the technical issues that the prime minister foresees, and since mr. kubrakov, he was supposed to be the head, and he was the head of both ministries. probably neither the president, nor the prime minister, nor the deputies saw him in the position of one of the future sub -ministries, which will take place as a result of the division of the existing one, namely mr. kuleba has already decided that he will be the head of one of these ministries and will work in this direction , these new ministers who were appointed today, we know that yesterday you factions were represented by the president to the servants of the people, were you at... that meeting of the factions, and

what did president zelenskyi talk about, how did he explain the need to appoint these ministers, and did he manage to convince the servants of the people? yes, the relevant faction took place, i was at the meeting of this faction, as were my colleagues, the president personally voiced his vision for each of the candidates who were voted for today. in the hall of parliament for the positions of ministers and also voiced his vision of understanding the reasons for the dismissal of the previous ones, if we dismissed at the same time, if these were not vacant positions, the so-called performing duties. support was among the servants of the people, because today i look at the vote in the session hall, if i am not mistaken, no minister was appointed only by the votes of the monomajority, among all there were not even...

up to two hundred votes from the servants of the people, formally, i will remind , that in the verkhovna rada today there are 233 people's deputies from the monobolshesti, deputies from the former opzh helped to vote, do you have some kind of agreement with them, maybe? i personally have them there is no agreement, and nothing was announced about this agreement at the faction meeting either. i can only say that with the support of the candidacies at the meeting. actions, we voted for each of the candidates, for each of the decisions, we unanimously had votes to support these proposals, regarding voting today in the hall, the presence of votes not only from our faction, but also from other people's deputies from other factions, i think this is a plus, since no one will accuse that there is any usurpation by the servants of the people in relation to the candidates. already operating today

ministers, and this was supported by other factions, that is, in fact, the democratic composition of the parliament. just about one of the newly appointed ministers, i want to ask you further: matviy bidny, the new minister of youth and sports, the deputies gave 239 votes for his appointment, despite the fact that the presence of passports of the russian federation in his wife and father-in-law hryhoriy dashustin has not been publicly denied. nardepka writes about this from the voice of solemiya bobrovs. and according to her , the new minister's father-in-law allegedly tolerated trade with the russian federation in goods for them defense forces, and he is suspected of treason, which includes his daughter, what do you know about it, and what is your attitude to this appointment? well, this appointment was motivated by the members of our faction, due to the fact that mr. matvii is the acting minister of sports, and he is at the appropriate time. he worked and showed

positive results, people's deputies, not only from our faction, communicated with him, and others spoke positively about his... professional qualities, this became the reason for supporting this candidacy for the position of minister of youth and sports, that is, you were guided by professional qualities, and did you take into account his personal life, in particular his wife and father-in-law, whom i just mentioned, is this not taken into account during the consideration of the candidacy, these questions, these questions , about which you said, was not discussed directly at the faction meeting, and you know something about it personally, as a people's deputy: i, i personally saw this information in the media as well, but some documentary confirmation directly to give it an assessment, in i did not have such an opportunity. perhaps you will somehow initiate an appeal to clarify this situation to the relevant law enforcement agencies, have you not had such an opinion? i, i

think that it is possible to do, yes, if this information, to make sure of it, whether it exists or is valid, it makes sense. but again, we cannot say unequivocally that there, even if it is confirmed that the father has committed some, or is suspected of committing some crime, that the son should answer for, it should be studied, i agree with you, his, i will clarify simply whether the test or test, yes, accordingly, a relative, yes, even more so, er , again, for me this is not a direct, direct reason to refrain from supporting this candidacy, but if this information is confirmed and there will be... such connections related to the active participation of the relevant minister, of course, my reaction will be adequate, maybe, in your opinion, it should be done before the appointment? look, it is worth doing everything before the appointment to study the relevant candidates as much as possible, and this is what we are trying

to do and it was done accordingly, but to rule out some... the absence of something additional, which will become clear later, and well , this is probably impossible, because, well, there is a lot of hate, you know, about the candidate, even before the appointment, it appears in the media, and after the appointment, and not it always does not correspond to reality, and it is not always in order to draw some objective conclusions, but there are some competitors in order to obtain or delay the procedure, well, here are political ones. well, games, i don't know, it's so hard to name, probably political manipulations, insinuations, possible, yes, and we have to take it into account, because it political positions, and accordingly, we must respond exclusively to confirmed facts and

those that really matter in these matters. thank you, it was serhii demchenko, people's deputy of ukraine from the servant of the people and a member of the committee on legal policy. thank you for your thoughts. well, we will continue to discuss this topic with ihor reiterovych, a political scientist and candidate of political sciences. he joins our broadcast. igor, good evening to you. congratulations. we have literally just discussed the appointment of matvyi bidny with the representative of the monomajority minister in particular, it is said that his wife and her father have connections with the russian federation and continued to trade even after the start of a full-scale war. how can you evaluate this appointment and why does the deputy say that the inspection may, probably, will be done after, and maybe it should have been done before, what is yours, i have heard enough, yes, i have heard long enough what you talked with the people's deputy, well, he such somewhat infantile statements

about all these appointments that were in the verkhovna rada, the only thing i can agree with is that he really is unlikely to be responsible for the father-in-law's behavior, that's clear, and even here, if there is no... evidence that he was somehow involved in some kind of business there, then to him, well, there can hardly be any questions here, as far as i'm concerned it is known that he gave an explanation regarding his wife, that the wife is abroad with the child, she does not have a russian passport, they do not particularly communicate with the father, he does not maintain any relations with him there, and so on, but here really the question is that, first of all this information has been known for a long time, and secondly, checks should really be carried out before the third moment, dear people. the deputy said that we did everything in accordance with the procedure, well, yes, i apologize, according to which procedure, poor man, he came to the profile committee and presented his program of activities in the position, in the position of minister, i understand that he was temporarily acting temporarily, but

nevertheless he had to do it, he came to meetings of various factions in the verkhovna rada, yesterday, for example, or this morning, presented his program at... the position of minister, i think that none of this happened, despite the fact that from the point of view of professionalism, from the point of view of what he did in office, performing his duties, to him by and large, unlike many others candidates there are no particular questions, but you see, even here there are certain points that definitely need to be settled, but unfortunately this has not been done, and this, by the way, is not a question specifically for the ministerial candidate in this position, this is a question in the first place to the people's deputies, well, this situation probably suited them, them apparently it was okay, and they voted in this way for virtually all the ministers today, and in exactly the same way they actually dismissed all the ministers from their positions... without asking them any particular questions, and one more important point, they did, it was certainly not done by any coalition,

because a coalition does not exist in the verkhovna rada today, there are no 226 votes from the servant of the people, they did it including at the expense of votes from representatives of the former opposition platform for life, which is prohibited, and in fact, and so i think you know, this fact is in the biographies of all ministers, well, it will play a certain role someday, maybe they will remember it to some extent. mr. igor, speaking in general, here are the reshuffles that are happening in the government today, why are they happening, because, well, if you look at the newly appointed ministers, people are actually moving from one cabinet to another, from the government to the bank and vice versa. well, look, i can understand the logic of some appointments, i can, well, for example, there is ms. stefanishyna, by the way, to she also has questions about the criminal case, and we now have unique ones. the situation when the minister of justice, a person who passes, if i'm not mistaken, accused, well, in this

case, which is still connected with the former minister of justice lukash, at least the journalists wrote about it yesterday, again, at the same time in his position there deputy prime minister for european integration, she was very effective, in my opinion, and she did a lot of important things. logic at the ministry of justice, the most important thing for us now is the adaptation of our legislation to european legislation union, it can in principle do it. can combine, but the question about the case, of course, had to be resolved, probably closed in some way. regarding everything else, this is a reshuffling, yes, this is simply an attempt by the president, possessing, i emphasize, the president, not the parliament, although we have a parliamentary, presidential republic, not a cabinet of ministers, not a sleight of hand, an attempt possessing very limited personnel resources, well somehow at the expense of this shuffling , pour, i don't know how they say... young wine wine into old wineskins, and give some impetus

the cabinet of ministers itself, perhaps certain reshuffles, they will increase the motivation of individual ministers in certain positions, and they will somehow work more actively, think more innovatively, look for some interesting options there to solve the problems facing their ministries, and so on further, well, most of all, the question is solely about this, because we will not see... any, you know, really such significant appointments, that some very highly professional person from the side, this is an important moment, comes to the position and she will carry out some tasks set before her, that is, it is more like just you know, such as the discharge of doctors, which should speed up the heartbeat and add a new intensity to the activities of the cabinet of ministers, how successful will this procedure be? well, i think we will find out about it very soon, because the new ministers, the new old ministers,

by and large, have no time to shake things up, they have to do it quickly, and they have to prove now i think the president is right that such changes were justified and will lead to the right results. but here is an interesting point, that despite the change of half of the government, its head, denys shmyhal, remains in office, although there was information in the summer that he could be replaced by yulia sver'. economy, but this did not happen , why do you think shmyhal managed to hold on, well, he is actually our record holder for survival, yes, that is, he has been in office for so long, there are several reasons, the first reason is when the prime minister is changed , change the prime minister, sub it is necessary to conduct much deeper negotiations with the deputies and collect votes much more difficult, as far as i know, a large part of the deputies who are angry with the servant of the people is just him... they do not want to change, they do not like the candidates who were proposed to replace him, and this played a role, they stuck,

to put it bluntly, that we will not vote for such changes, this is the time, the second time, when there is a new cabinet of ministers and a new prime minister, we need a new program, and this program must be submitted to the verkhovna rada, by the way, the current cabinet works without a program approved, but at least formally it had to be done, it is also a matter of agreements, it is also a matter of some priorities, some concessions , preferences, etc. , if it didn't happen today, it doesn't mean that it will happen either towards the end or after the end of, for example, the heating season, but... i think that finally, finally , they kept it for now, because they didn't pull it out a complete replacement of the cabinet of ministers would not be dragged out would, and the candidacy that was proposed, you mentioned it, yes to him in his place, this candidacy certainly does not enjoy any great support among the deputies, to change individual ministers, okay, there are no questions, you can gather for each of them, find something there and

vote , but in general for the cabinet of ministers, of course there were questions and... the president's office simply decided not to risk it, and honestly, let's be honest, i can't imagine where you can find such a tolerant and loyal person as the current prime minister the minister who will be go, agree on all issues, perform some tasks that will be assigned to him, and all this will take place in a parliamentary-presidential republic. mr. igor, thank you for your thoughts, it was igor reiterovych, a political scientist and candidate of political sciences, and we were talking about a major reboot of the government. which ended today in the parliament, well, i urge you to subscribe to radio liberty's social networks, subscribe to our youtube channels, like and leave comments under this issue, and freedom live will return to the air already tomorrow, see you, in

greetings, voice of america in ukraine, our program chas time. my name is osta p'arysh. at least six influential conservative bloggers. in the us were secretly funded by russia to create anti-mono videos to promote russian interests in the us. this is stated in the indictment published by the american ministry of justice. it is primarily about creating content for millions of americans with the aim of increasing discord in the united states, in particular the spread of disinformation from the kremlin about the war in ukraine. let's talk about it in more detail with our correspondent tetyana voroshko, who researched this topic. tanya, i congratulate you. congratulations, stape. tanya, so what measures has the us taken against these bloggers and what might they be? now the most effective, what do experts say about it? well, actually, the day before, three ministries, the ministry of finance, the ministry of justice and the state department , adopted a whole series of measures to

limit the influence of the russian. disinformation, and to punish some for those who participate in it , and actually from among all these measures, this one about these bloggers, experts, journalists define as the most visible, the most effective, in fact, the day before, and i gave a little details, the day before the ministry of justice published an indictment against two employees of rusha today, russian citizens, they are accused of not registering in accordance with the law on foreign agents, they acted in the interests of the kremlin, and also that they laundered funds. rather than publicizing his role, let's say, illegally cooperating with an american company, thus spreading russian pro-kremlin content there, and actually these bloggers, influencers, they are not named in the indictment memo, and this company itself is not named, but it is described, sufficient details are provided, and the journalists quickly calculated that it is about tenetmedia, they assume, it really cooperated with conservative influencers, and not press

charges against them. but they themselves already say that if it is really so, if these accusations are true, then they are victims, they did not know, they were searched, if we talk about their content, and today i looked a little, well there are some of them that are extremely anti-ukrainian, for example, one of them talks about the fact that ukraine is an enemy of the united states, that the war started because the ukrainians blew up the north stream gas pipeline, that ukraine must be deprived of all support and get out. in front of russia, they are really these bloggers quite popular, and according to the ministry of justice, since november 2023 , they have created 200 videos posted on facebook, tiktok, youtube, and 16 million people have watched them on youtube alone, so some, well, some let's say punitive actions against these there are no people, but let’s say that this act caused such, you know, a rather sloppy discussion of what, well, what do influencers

need to be able to... think about who they are taking money from, here we are talking about the amount, in general, this whole operation, and this is on 10 million dollars, how to evaluate the information, as well as for viewers, subscribers to think about it, and maybe they express some positions because of the fact that it is actually beneficial for the kremlin, but will they lose subscribers, i asked one of the experts, and he believes that well and yes and no, let's listen, i hope it can prevent them from growing their audiences, hopefully people who might otherwise consider following them will now recognize their names and realize that they are not to be trusted, but the reality is that their existing followers are mostly following them because they trust them, they have an almost personal connection with them, so they will most likely side with these people, believing that they are the real victims, but did you mention that

there are no punitive actions, how about in general? regarding the effectiveness of these steps, considering that more, with regard to the american elections, there are only nine weeks left, well, there are other steps, other, other measures, for example, another accused, the accused memo concerns three russian companies that participated in the so-called doplgan company, it is already well known to researchers several years, and it consists in the fact that duplicate sites are created, which are visually similar to ordinary media, for example, the washington post or fox news or. cnn or bbc, but they have a slight difference in the domain name and information that is beneficial to the kremlin, information that disinformation, propaganda, perhaps partly to remind these media even more, well , actually sanctions are applied against these companies, and 32 domains were arrested, what will this effect be? experts say that these domains are created very quickly and some of them have already been reproduced today, as well as sanctions pressure against russian companies, against

the heads of rasha today. against hackers, they will probably have such a limited effect, they won't be able to stop really russian influence, russian disinformation, let's say so, to stop russian interference in the elections, but nevertheless, experts say, all these steps today, and previous steps, and such steps that will be taken, perhaps even today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, they will, let's say so, have cumulative effect, first of all , this is an information certificate, let's say this, it is explained to the americans that... it is necessary to look more carefully at what they are reading, what they are listening to, whether this content is really created by independent journalists or propagandists, or whether it is content comes from the kremlin, i.e. to be more careful, secondly, these are certain punitive sanctions, punishments, i.e. it is becoming more expensive and difficult to make this disinformation, and as one expert said, it may still have a significant effect in the future,
