dogs eat you, this is such a state, the state of scumbags who dream of revenge, not the state of free people, and therefore the question always arises, how can we coexist on the borders with such a state, where dictatorship and slavery have long since become symbiosis, and here again - after all, i have to answer 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 with the future of ukraine will change exactly when it changes russia will fall apart, putin will die, and maybe there will be democracy at all. of course, much better. to have a neighbor who does not shoot at 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 in russia. i february revolution of 1917, we proclaim ukrainian autonomy 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 on 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 adopts an act of independence. putin decides that he can attack us and annex crimea and begin war in donbas, and a large number of our compatriots understand that we need decommunization, strengthening of the army. an 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, the verkhovna rada of ukraine will eventually decide.

the decision that ukraine should not have churches with centers in moscow. well, as long as possible, tell me, please, how long you can live in the situation of this 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 care, we have our own language, our own history, our own decisions, our own satellites, we need a country that is more was not afraid of an attack from the side. of russia,

and which would make decisions about its future without paying attention to these processes, which 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. there are discounts in september. 10% in pharmacies plantain bam and savings. in september, there are 10% discounts on sinu baam in podorozhnyk pharmacies for savings. vasyl zima's big broadcast. my name is vasyl zima, i am a big star on the espresso tv channel. two hours of air time. two hours of your time. my colleagues and i will speak. about

a new project on espresso. the real front is a thorough analysis of the main events. reports, comments of leading specialists and experts. analytics from major. of the armed forces, how to understand alarming news and distinguish the truth from the enemy and pso? the real front program with taras berezovets every saturday at 21:30 on espresso. problems of the economic crisis, we do it precisely because we believe that we should get 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 the principles of international law that were established after the second

world war: the inviolability of borders, respect for of human life, the ability to solve problems between countries not by war, but by ... negotiation diplomacy, all that modern russia has trampled, and why, tell me, should we then be between that world which these rules are followed by this country, which spits on these rules, this is not a rhetorical question, it is a question of our politicians, our diplomats, and representatives of our civil society. which our journalists should constantly ask our friends in the west, why is ukraine practically alone, if we are not talking about weapons, not about money, but about people, and the most valuable thing is

people, to defend all these values ​​that are common to us, only because western countries will be afraid of the threat. world war iii, but if you are not able to protect your own values, and this is evidenced by the experience of all world conflicts, a world war must begin. at the end of the 1930s, western politicians were incredibly afraid of a repeat of the second world war, they made some agreements with... with hitler, they made some agreements with stalin, they looked for alliances, they thought about how to conclude a dialogue so that a new war would not start, so what, what what, in principle

, did they, i'm sorry, argue with hitler and stalin, that hitler's army came to... and the soviet army came to lviv and the second world war began, all that, by and large, if we talk specifically about... the competition of values, continues today, and i am sure that it will depend on how the russian-ukrainian war ends the world of the future, and this is not some kind of megalomania, and not some desire to place ukraine at the center of world politics, you know that i just... i never engage in such rhetorical techniques, this is just 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, both in europe and... in asia and on all continents. you and i understand very well that russia, which could tear ukraine apart, would not stop at ukraine. she would certainly try to create the so-called soviet union within the borders of 1991, most importantly, she could frighten europe so that the europeans themselves would vote for politicians who would promise them to come to an agreement. with putin, and such a europe, by the way, can occur, may still occur if we

lose this war and it won't be europe in the 1930s of the 21st century, it will be europe in the 1930s of the 20th century, we'll go back 100 years, history will just go backwards, that's what happens , this has happened many times in our history with you. 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, will be able to protect its sovereignty, become a member of nato and the european union. if the civilized world forces russia to stop war, we will live in a world of triumph of democracy, in a world where parallels between development. and democracy will be obvious in a world where the ambitions of dictatorships will be effectively

set to zero, and not only putin will no longer try to crawl 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 iranian ayatollahs will not think. that they will destroy israel and create the possibility of a new war in the middle east, everyone will realize that attacking democracy backfires 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 to go back or do we want to go forward? and it is precisely on this that the development of the civilized world as such depends. and it is precisely with this that the fate of those is connected. who is helping us today in the war, and not only our fate, and therefore i confidently say that it will depend on how the war in ukraine ends the future of all of europe, and even north america, the strength of europe and north america, the ability of democracy to defend itself. maybe you remember that from february 2022. i have said and written 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 named specific cities that will be bombed after ukrainian cities. i said that the tragedy experienced by kharkiv or mariupol could be repeated tomorrow in kyriat shmoni and metula, and let's say my readers in israel didn't believe me, but now they do, because these cities are at the epicenter of missile attacks. and today it was a massive missile attack, and i spoke about it in february, march 2022, and now i repeat it again, if this war does not end, it will be more and more, globalized and there will be more and more wars, because this is the logic of

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

the war to come to the territory of russia, so that russia... they suffered from the war, but now it is no longer said, and now they are fighting westerners with western weapons in the territory of the kurdish region of the russian federation. now , german leopards are driving around the territory of the kurdish region of the russian federation, and not a single german politician says mein hod, this cannot happen after the second world war, it turns out that it can. this is the logic of a long 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 continue to believe, this is a common war, on the results of which depends the survival of all those who would like to live in a democratic, civilized world, who would like to have rights, who would like to have their lives not encroached upon by those for whom the very value life is scarce, because in dictatorships the value of life... is always scarce, the life of only one person who is on the mountain of a dictatorship is valuable, everyone else is just a mother, 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. from other regions of ukraine then came to lviv to breathe this air of ukrainian freedom, you see people who still remembered what a free society could look like and voted for these political forces that defended the idea of ​​a free society, at that time, the majority of our compatriots voted for the communist party of ukraine, to 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 any other way at all, you remember all this well, it was the beginning, and 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 about... that they are ukrainians and that they are free ukrainians, and that they are ukrainian-speaking ukrainians, what would happen to our history and our state, i'll tell you what happened, belarus would have been, that's all that happened, and we should always remember that if we didn't have territories in our state. who understood what ukraine is and what freedom is, even when most people who lived in the ukrainian ssr did not realize this. we could live a completely different life, in general, this is, i would

say, a fatal mistake of stalin, latvia, lithuania, estonia, galicia. well, let him turn over a couple more times in the grave, he is embalmed there, so he can turn over. ah... that's not what i'm talking about remind me because the struggle for freedom always starts with something, even in a hopeless situation. the people of lviv believed in this freedom, even when you were kicked out of the meeting hall of the verkhovna rada of ukraine for wearing a blue and yellow badge, you remember, just kicked out. did the people of lviv believe in that freedom? when there was no referendum on the renewed union in the territories of lviv, ivano-frankivsk and ternopil regions, and the majority of citizens

of the ukrainian ssr voted for this renewed union, probably hoping that it would be some kind of new state where they could to find their place together with the russian people, and dzuski did not find it and... now they probably already understand why, and even now, maybe this struggle for freedom in the world we live in, maybe this struggle against dictatorships and awareness of how they are dangerous, it begins precisely in ukraine with the readiness of the ukrainian people to fight, endure, find adversity. standard solutions , and maybe later in history this period

will be connected with the understanding that it all started with ukraine, and so in the future someone will definitely ask the same question meetings, but not in ukraine. please tell me. and what would happen if ukraine surrendered, if it agreed to russian conditions, if it decided to live according to the russian plan for the future, what would happen to all of us? no, this question will not be raised for one simple reason, because in dictatorships no questions are asked, and if ukraine surrendered, it would be the first step to defeat. democracy throughout the civilized world, and now i am absolutely sure that this defeat will not happen, and therefore i am sincerely proud of all

those people who were ready to defend ukraine both in 2014 and in 2022. i am proud of people who consider themselves ukrainian people. quite often by people of different ethnic origins, people of different religions, people who look at ukraine differently and 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, that ukraine emerges, for which people are ready to fight, for which they are. to die, which they do not want to leave.

during these 3-3 years, many events in the history of ukraine, in my life, honestly saying, it was surprising, some events. positively, i remember this enthusiasm of the maidans, i remember their people who flocked to the maidan like a river so that they would not be dispersed. i remember the queues at the arms stores and tsk here in lviv and in other cities of ukraine in the first days of the great war. i remember many events that frankly surprised me, both during the elections and... society reacted to the challenge in a strange way, but at the same time, unlike vladimir putin, i

want to tell you one important thing. so far everything is going according to my plan. according to the plan that i have drew for myself on august 24, 1991, when i saw the voting numbers for the act of independence of ukraine on the scoreboard. and i believed, although all of us were not ready, that it would happen so quickly, that ukraine would develop, that ukraine would change, that ukraine would be european. state, the most important thing that i believed then was that ukrainians would become ukrainians, although it was not easy to believe it then, but i believed it, and that is how it happened, is happening and will happen 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, we are carrying out the same task of restoring and strengthening ukraine, in contrast to such a wide stratum of society and the government in general, but the actual question concerns topics of your lecture, it seems to me that, after all, her independence is a concept that is asserted more by deed than

by word. in this regard, such a question, of course, is a question of responsibility, the responsibility of a man is to take up arms and go with his own life to defend the country, the responsibility of a person who understands everything, knows, anticipates, and at that time does not go into politics, it is not a question of not taking authority, maybe it does not apply only to you, it is generally such a 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 me, any activity is related to professionalism, and to be responsible for people , who, not being professional politicians, go into politics, i cannot, i am

absolutely sure that... political activity is not delivering speeches, not writing articles , and not even creating meanings, it is clear work that is connected with decision-making of a political and legal nature, so i always i say that you cannot become a politician when in our country people vote for unprofessional politicians, and then they say to them, you will not necessarily learn, then they forget that these people do not learn from mice, laboratory mice, from themselves, and i absolutely do not want to be a person who will play the role of someone who will gain political experience in human lives, and what you ask, it again says that as far as we are not yet, i would say, developed society, in the united states, a person who is political led by the columnist.
