bed breeding, as it is now called, changing beds in the government of denys shmyhal. it is clear to you why these efforts and personnel efforts were needed in the first place. concentrated, if it was possible to easily change these ministers throughout the year, because some ministers were with the prefix voo. well, to begin with, let's ask serhiy the question, how many of the nine removed ministers can you, a person with experience in politics, name by their last name? i can name vitaly koval, right? i can name the shot iryna veryshchuk, yes. germana, eh... smitanin, who was appointed, you strongly promote, yes, yes, herman smitanin, well, and probably, and probably stefanishyna, who has some criminal case, but she stayed, she was removed, from one position and appointed to another, look, in fact, this a small test for

our viewers, immediately explains what happened, nothing happened, just nothing happened, if eh... well, who expects a change in the results of the ministry's work, if a person who has been an acting minister for six months has become a minister? and karandieev did not become a bystander minister? who expects a change in the ministry if a brilliant diplomat with many years of experience suddenly becomes the minister of culture? who can expect normal work from a person, this is the former head of the regional state administration of my native region, who in a year changed... er, the position of the head of the regional state administration of the state property fund, and now he has gone to the mines of the apc. this is just an imitation of the president's stormy activity, which will not solve any of the serious issues.

moreover, no serious ministry, to which there are a lot of questions, remains in principle untouchable for example, the ministry of energy has 2 billion. they buried reinforcement and concrete in the ground to protect energy facilities in ukraine, how are they protected, now all ukraine feels, no way, from the shaheds it is still protected in some places, from missiles, no way, 2 billion euros, i emphasize, nearby, for example, the ministry of finance, the key ministry that prepares the budget, and suddenly it turns out that we do not have enough half a trillion to finance the armed forces of ukraine, and today there is news that from september the payment of combatants is under question to our heroes, there is a question for the minister, no, no, he continues to work, i can list

all these ministries, well, for example, who is responsible for fortifications, you know who, min numbers, well, this is a wonderful country, scumbags. management system, but what about the fortifications, we see in the pokrovsky direction, and not only there, you can list endlessly, but this is just an imitation of chaotic activity in the style of the show of the 95th quarter, there will be enough informational reasons for a week, what are you and i doing now and doing, we discuss on the show, nothing imitation, profanation, let's listen to what zelenskyi says, what he expects from changes in the government, and what it is... there should be active work, please give zelenskyi synchronicity. there were government changes. i am grateful to the parliament for supporting the respective candidates. it is very important that government institutions work as actively as possible now, even more actively than before. at

all levels, more investment by partners in defense production of ukraine, more active promotion in the negotiation process with the european union, and this... preparation for the future accession agreements, more interaction and mutual understanding between central government and communities, this government. there still remained the prime minister, who has been working for the fifth year, and from the very beginning there was no government program, and it was approved by the verkhovna rada of ukraine. well, there is a war, everything is clear, but the government as an institution, there is a war, everything is clear, so why should the government work without a program? that we have been working for the third year without a state defense order, and the ministry of defense does not plan to finally launch a missile with a range of 500 km in 2019. with a serious loads of explosives and so on, 8 billion personal income tax was withdrawn from this ministry, zero. i

understand that no one reports this to the president. i understand that he is not at all interested in this. some kind of show is just happening, that is, this week is full of news. they appointed nine ministers, who, why, for what? but i absolutely agree with you, we have a prime minister, because in any government there is a conductor. the manager who is in charge and instructs the government, sets them tasks, controls and so on, is the prime minister, again, maybe the president will hear us from you, the idea of ​​creating a new type of armed forces, uavs, unmanned aerial operations, was put forward by general zulzhnym, he wrote a report to the president's office, they waited until he was removed, and also, by the way. that this is a reboot and new energy, well, how did it end after her resignation, we also all see every morning, looking at the map,

a presidential decree is issued instructing the government to create an appropriate regulatory framework and create compliance, four months of the cabinet of ministers wrote regulations about a new kind of troops, i guarantee that any captain with a specialty of record keeping in the armed forces, as it is called specifically, would have written it as much as possible. in 5 days, but for four months the government worked out a bill of exchange and accepted it, after that they searched for a commander for another two months, appointed him, and for another four months after that they searched for the chief of staff of this type of military, who is currently being checked by the sbu, and to this day the law on the armed forces of ukraine did not make appropriate changes and there is no type of uav troops there, no, there are uavs, but a type of troops. there is no law, tell me me, can the government act effectively? no, this is not

an effective government, and the person who heads it, even after the decree of the president, who organizes the implementation for six months or more, those related to the war, it is completely ineffective, i would say, an inhibiting factor in the work of the state apparatus, why is this happening , and here we come to the point, because the issue is not that we don't have a prime minister, we have a shill. everyone has known this for a long time, but why does it happen that the most important documents drag on for months, and sometimes are not executed at all, for example, funding does not go anywhere at all, and some crazy decisions are made about burying money in concrete, and what is needed is not purchased, everything happens because the constitution of ukraine, in general, has not been opened by the current government for a long time, because according to the constitution, the cabinet of ministers is formed. parliamentary majority and is fully responsible for its work, and the office of the president helps

the president to fulfill his two main functions: for the defense of the country and work in the international sphere, period, but everyone knows that any government cough, sneeze, then more is a piece of paper, well, the more financing with the subsequent breakdown is agreed in the president's office on the street of the bank and manages this process... the head of the president's office yarmak and five or six effective managers who do not have any responsibility, in most of them they do not even the deputies of the office, they are advisers, they do not sign anything and they really hope that after that they will not bear any responsibility, because there is no signature, there is no responsibility, it is true, but what can the adviser of the president, who was the curator of large-scale construction, they poured billions of dollars before the war, not into rockets, but into concrete, who will be responsible, he... because there is an article for excess of authority or failure to fulfill official duties, he has

no authority adviser, shut his mouth , the workplace is cleaned, that's all, and they hope that it will be so, and they manage ukraine and the entire government, from the office of the president without any prescriptions of the constitution, well, that is , the ministers who are appointed, these are the next scapegoats in the current system of power, it... cutaphoria, it’s not even moving the beds, because the beds are actually the same, well, some were moved, some were moved apart, yes, but they put, well , new characters, whose surnames... say only one thing: nothing will change, because these are half of the former performers responsibilities, that is, these are the same people, the other half, as always, people who have nothing to do with the relevant industry, and above them are the key supervisors of these five or six effective managers from the office of the president, who basically manage all processes , as we manage

we see, well, in our everyday life, in your opinion, why wasn't the squeegee changed? after, well, let's say this, those backroom conversations in the parliament that are happening now, and not only in the parliament, they want to remove him for a long time, but the head of the faction of the servants of the people, david arahamia, defended the continuation of his premiership, due to their long-standing close relations he proved to the president that it is not yet time to drop this ballast from the air. balls of power. shmygal's long-standing relationship with arakhamia or arakhamia with akhmetov? this should not be addressed to me. in this case, arahamia is like well a serious political figure, he is the leader of the faction, he has access to the president, he has access to the prime minister, he influences his faction, he simply has the opportunity to say:

i do not have votes for this in the faction, and on this basis relations with any - which ones an official, in this case we are talking about the prime minister, regarding the results of his work, well, from my point of view, he proved his inefficiency a long time ago, and we are not talking about akhmetov, by the way, sergey, because well, you can never confuse a person with the place where he once worked, well, someone, each of us somewhere worked, for example, at one time i was an assistant to the prime minister, this does not mean that i am valerych's person, i remember that you were with oleksandr moroz, once and with many people, so look, that who where works, well, he worked as a manager at one of akhmetov's energy facilities, of course he has some contacts, but this does not mean that akhmetov appointed him, well , in fact, these are myths, this does not happen in life, he has been an independent figure for a long time already, but he knows the rules of the game in current ukraine, first of all, don't come forward, don't show any his rating, any of his publicity,

and he clearly fulfills not what the country demands, but what the banks on the street demand, and he fulfills these rules. but look, i want to end with something, but at the same time, mr. yarmak sent to the government his, well, let's say, a very trusted person, who seriously proved himself among these five or six managers, this, sybigu, no, no, no, this is the minister regional development kuleba, after all, not the former minister of foreign affairs, but oleksiy kuleba, his namesake, and... who will be mastered in government in the corridors of the cabinet in order to probably take the post of prime minister. what would i comment? if the president really wanted to restart the government with greater energy and greater responsibility for the tasks set, by him, by the parliament, by society, i would

unite the office of the president and the cabinet of ministers, of course it would turn out a bit autocratic, but at least honestly, i... appointed andriy borisovych yarmak, who already manages everything as the prime minister, so that he manages these processes with full responsibility, not from behind the scenes, not from behind the scenery, in his cabinet, it would be fair, but this team does not work like that, and now i will allow myself another story, because we talked about efficiency, and now about political responsibility, i did not... i reminded that according to the constitution and laws, the government is formed in parliament of the parliamentary majority. as you know, the majority of people's servants are in the parliament. according to the law, the head of the faction, by the way, this is about arahami's influence, makes a submission to the prime minister, about the removal of certain ministers and about the appointment of certain ministers. only they are

the deputies authorized for this action. thereafter the prime minister submits these nominations to the parliament and they. voting, yes, now it's simple, because i saw the time when it was necessary to coordinate the candidacy with two factions, with three and even with five, but now it's simple, there is one faction, formally simple, but are there votes? yesterday's and the day before yesterday's voting in the parliament showed that these ministers did not receive votes, sufficient votes of the servants of the people, from 170 to 167 votes against the required 220. did all the ministerial candidates receive, where did the rest of the necessary votes come from? in the opz faction and its fragments, therefore, in fact. we can to debate for a very long time about the qualities of individual ministers and this government, but since yesterday we have openly had a government, servants of the people and opzh.

after two maidans and in the third year of the war, it seems to me a terrible moral degradation, a terrible political cynicism, but it was, in fact, just openly demonstrated on the scoreboard of the verkhovna rada yesterday. servants of the people. 167 for the same kulebu, opzzh there are 20 of them, fragments of opzzh another 10, seven, eight, as a result you have 240, this society must know and must understand that we have dealing today with the government, which actually represents two political forces, the servants of the people and the opzh, and they themselves will be responsible for that. why was dmytro kuleba dismissed from the position of minister of foreign affairs? oh, here's a separate song. dmytro kuleba was in this government, always a white crow, well, like his predecessor, by the way,

i have a foreign affairs minister. they were professionals. with long-term serious work in one's field, with achievements, with certain, well, plans, strategies and so on. prystaiko, i remember well that i am in a diplomatic position. met more than once, was it is clear that the person is smart, ambitious, and this is normal in principle, especially for a young person, ah, has his own vision of ukraine's actions in the international arena, and when he became a minister, well, for me he was such a bright spot in this gathering dilettantes and populists, but the rules were the rules, and little by little he was forced to wear sneakers and a sweater. instead of a diplomatic suit and a cot, it was obvious how unpleasant it was for him, because he, well , it is clear that he is such a diplomat by life, he devoted himself entirely to this profession, but entered

this story, well, then he realized that it would be done, just give it furniture, because during the war already in the second year of the war it became clear that foreign policy would be managed by andriy yarmak, and at first... they traveled together, and then it became simple it is obvious that the minister of foreign affairs, who bears all responsibility, who by law must implement all policies in the priorities set by the president, is used simply as furniture during the visits of the head of the president's office, who in principle has no constitutional powers regarding international affairs affairs, and then mr. yarmak became undisguised at all. already without the minister of foreign affairs, to dictate policy, what i mean, for example, has passed, well, about a year, the entire diplomatic machine of ukraine

was engaged in forms of peace with great energy, she was not the only one who we remember in switzerland a few months ago, there were four more, heads of different states were gathered in different countries, and the task was one: to gather in switzerland. more than 100 heads of state and government, for what? in order to proclaim the formula of peace, gathered, proclaimed, yarmamak filmed, actually led this process, the photo from that forum shows everything, that is , the vice president of the united states haris looks over his shoulder somewhere, he is in the center, he is the main key event, but what gave birth to this conference, you and i, sergey, here it is they talked about it, this huge swiss mountain gave birth to only one molehill, until the next... forum, where the russian federation should be represented. what do we have for today? today we have the president's statement that there is no point in conducting any negotiations with russia, i.e. a year of diplomacy

efforts went nowhere. meanwhile, the same president says quite rightly that we have problems with our western allies in supplying us with weapons. question: yes, maybe all the diplomatic machines of ukraine should have spent a year, not a decorative peace forum. scaboverde and san marino, which still do not supply us with either money or weapons. maybe it was necessary to conduct forms of victory with those who give us money and rockets. and at these negotiations, in the offices, if necessary in public ones, to achieve what is needed for victory, that is the difference between a professional foreign minister and a populist figure who knows how to organize a show, a film producer. now it became clear that all these forums are talking about nothing, well, at least for the time being, and it is necessary to find the culprit for the fact that the work with our

partners in the supply of weapons has collapsed. and the way they removed the minister of foreign affairs, dmytro kuleba, shows that they will make him extreme, because he was not just removed, during the election of his successor, mr. sebigi, it was actually heard from the podium of the verkhovna rada that kuleba was removed because he was enthusiastic his own publicity and allowed himself pr, he ate bananas in africa, you know, without authorization under a video camera. although we all remember who sent him there, and today, yesterday, for example, the trumpeters of the united marathon already said that he was rightly removed, because he was obsessed with ratings, that is, i say once again, the only professional in this government was not simply removed, they want to make him extreme for the policy pursued by another person with the surname yarmak, i.e. failures in washington,

in berlin, in... london now they want to push to someone who was not allowed to work according to his powers, well, unfortunately, that is, dmytro kuleba is being pushed into politics, but no, i think that dmytro kuleba will offer the position that he knows well, because he practically worked next to it, i think that he will head either the representative office of ukraine in the eu or the representative office of ukraine in nato, or he has already worked there, as i say to an acquaintance, maybe he will be offered some new uniform. the unification of these efforts, because now there are european integration and problems with nato supplies, probably, well, on the same weight of priorities. dmytro will cope with this, but if he is thrown out of the power hierarchy altogether, i will not be surprised, because, unfortunately, there has never been a single case when zelenskyi's team has

any... any gratitude to those who helped them with their professional advice . i 'm talking about prystayk, i'm also talking about many soldiers who were thrown out without any chance of being useful during the war. yes, general zaluzhnyi was sent to the embassy, ​​and 16 more generals, heads of the military, that is, well, unfortunately, only personal devotion is valued here, and... and as our great lina kostenko used to say, because there is a struggle for the will of ukraine, and there is a wrestling match, so a wrestling match is valued more, well, there are two ministers or, one is deputy prime minister and minister of justice stefanishyna and matviy bidny, who was appointed head of the ministry of youth and sports, and they have problems with

stefanishyna's law enforcement agencies. there is a trial and it continues, but on october 3 , another session of the higher anti-corruption court is scheduled to take place judges, we are talking about the period when lukash was still in charge of the ministry of justice, and there this case drags on and until now it is about embezzlement of state budget funds by abuse of official position, how correct is it, how about you, as a former prosecutor general, i will ask when mindust is headed by a person against whom there are complaints. of the higher anti-corruption court, her case is being heard there, she is one of the accused, it is wrong, i will say it very simply: a person who, well, not directly, but has a certain influence on the courts, because in fact the minister of justice affects, cannot affect every judge, it does not have such functionality, but it affects the institution, the financing of judges, their formation, merger, organization, recruitment process there, well...
