customs officials and had conversations with them, first of all, about what car you drive, show me your phone or iphone, what kind of iphone do you have, what do you live on, why, why does it take so long for your hands to reach customs, mr. oleksandr, i understand that this is not your profile topic, but after all, we all understand what country we live in, we all see how customs officers live in the west, in the west of ukraine, not bad in... in principle, and we understand that they probably don't have such big salaries that they can afford what what do they afford? well as for the customs reboot, you know what they say, better late than never, right? the point is that if it didn't happen, there would always be, you could ask the question that you're asking now, why wasn't it done earlier, why wasn't it done under the previous president or before. another

president and so on, but the main thing is that they did it, and this is a positive signal, it is good, and it must be said that, according to experts' estimates, up to uah 150 billion a year, exactly this scheme at customs launders money from the budget, because it in fact, taxes have not been paid, or the goods have not been properly registered, or these are some bribes for... customs clearance of some goods, ms. oksano, how to overcome this difficult situation at customs, well, they will reload, we already have a large anti-corruption infrastructure in ukraine, when it was adopted legislatively, in the verkhovna rada, i remember they said: we have the best anti-corruption legislation in europe, there will be no corruption, but it has come, mr. rostyslav. eight years or

so in the 16th year, if i'm not mistaken, these the laws were passed, but, well, but, but regarding the application of the laws, we always have some question whether there will be taxis with the customs, well, you know, really, if they are fixed, watching, even after reforming the customs, then nothing will change, yes, the signs on the offices will change, the persons who will occupy certain positions will change, some people will still... still find opportunities and ways and get back to the places where they used to work for years, because they know how it was before, everything depends on those goals, on that controls, which the state actually sets before itself, regarding customs control, so that it will all be transparent, to at least somehow resolve the issue, to try at least a little to overcome what no one has ever overcome, which is smuggling. eh, and

accordingly, corrupt actions at customs also begin, everything will really depend on how realistically the state wants to do it, whether there will be someone who will give us beautiful slogans, we will vote really laws, they will be very good, as you said, the best, the question is who they will be implement and who will be those who will try to live by these laws and not violate them, so it is good that the law on... was voted, now the most important thing remains - it is control and that these reforms take place when people who really follow the law come , are not reported, someone does not know where they go in kyiv with some suitcases, and then, or trunks, i apologize, with money, and then i hope that we will have a really real addition to the state budget, mr. rostislav,

oleksandr mareshko reprimanded those , which they say at other presidents had such a situation at customs, and not only at customs, and we remember how at nsc olimpiyskiy, then -presidential candidate zelensky asked president poroshenko why his friends have two hands, they say, why or, if, if they steal, why didn't they cut off these hands, if you had the opportunity to ask now at nsc olympia. to president zelensky, what would you ask him, similar or different? well, look, first of all, it is very easy to ask, and now practically, here is the entire list of these questions, volodymyr zelenskyy can to address ourselves, and here and there to talk about the covid-19 war and so on, we heard about just the big various constructions, the big first-time initiatives per mille. trees there and so on,

but did not see any reform things, i would instead talk about more specific things, and about severed hands, you know, it was 5 years to prove. report to me, who has proven at least something among these loud things that were attempted when they came to power and the current team, starting with petro poroshenko and all those about whom such things were said, that they are proven criminals, where are the cases, where are the verdicts, where are the results, well , this was obviously exaggerated, and we remember how the media worked then, there was not just freedom of speech, but there was a certain fashion for what... to power say different things and not think about how true they are, but i would say, because you, mr. sergiu, mr. oleksandr, also said that what happened there predecessors, what was done, the customs office is only part of a rather wide complex, and this anti-corruption infrastructure is only a third of the way

to fight, because it is only tracking, control and punishment of those who violate, and when the hand washes the hand, then it is necessary to break the eyes and wash them. schemes, and the first thing that was done, for example, was the automatic vat refund, the lion's share of the schemes rests on what is exported, what is imported with money from the value added tax, and when it was introduced into automation, the revenues just increased and customs clearance issues fell through, unfortunately, it was stopped after the 19th year. the second story is the unification of tax registers. for customs, it was a difficult issue, because we have been doing this for decades profited, it was already brought to mind and also, well, unfortunately, it does not work like that now, although it should have given results. the third is precisely the context of european integration, when joint work with

our european partners from neighboring states could simplify processes and make them transparent. the work was also brought to a fairly significant level, well , then, apparently, the hands did not reach, because we had to deal with something very big, and unfortunately, now in many respects we have rolled back almost to the starting point there in the 16th, 17th year, that's why today one can say so, there is such a second attempt, let's go through the corrected version, through the appointment, through the competition commissions, the involvement of international advisers, let's see how it will work, but this is the last thing i would like to say, i would still urge my colleagues to pay attention to that , what has been done should not be rejected just because another team did it, or then together with the cleaning of personnel and together with the work of the anti-corruption infrastructure, it will give results. thank you, mr. rostislav, i will remind our viewers that

we work live and conduct poll throughout our broadcast, we ask you whether you would move to the united states of america or the eu if you had the chance. yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube and facebook when voting, if you have a separate opinion, please write it in the comments under this video, if you are watching us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote by numbers 0800 211 381 if you had the chance and did you move to the united states of america or the eu if yes then vote this number no 0800 211 382 no and all numbers, we will count all votes at the end of the program and all calls are free, so vote, we are interested in your opinion. another topic that is relevant, which will be relevant, obviously in the next two weeks, is zelensky's victory plan. volodymyr

zelensky said that 90% of the victory plan is already ready, and obviously this victory plan will be presented in the united states of america. to the president of the united states , joseph biden, and it will happen after september 25, when the un general assembly begins. mr. alexander, do you know? the content of this document, have you seen the draft of this document, because since it is not just zelensky's victory plan, it is a victory plan for ukraine and ukrainians, as a ukrainian, for example, i am interested to know what is in this victory plan? well, i don't see. that there is a peace formula of president zelenskyi, which is very specific in nature, if it is specifically about this victory plan, then i am not sure that it should be made public, maybe, well

, he has the right to know about this plan, about the details of this plan only that circle, let's say our allies, partners, from on whom does the help to ukraine depend, that is, it is possible even there... some secret things that should not be brought out so that the enemy does not know, for example, does not, does not use this knowledge, that is, i am very concerned. before i tell you, let's say so, about the openness of this plan, well, you speak very briefly, but i would like to understand, since you are a representative of the presidential team, if there is any other plan b, relatively speaking, because judging by the information that i read and listening and reading, it looks like there is a victory plan, the basis of which is based on support of the united states of america, ukraine, but i don't

understand what will happen if we don't have this support , which is obvious in this plan for victory, well, we won't have it, that is, will we have another plan for victory, is there a plan b, if there is a plan a, well we don't know the details of plan a yet and how we can talk about plan b, but some things they are really on the surface. that is, it is about the need to obtain a sufficient quantity and sufficient quality of modern weapons, starting with anti-aircraft defense systems, large-scale missiles radius of action, that is, attacks, for example, the patriot system and so on, that is, in order to win the war, you need to have, well, a kind of even parity, you can say, if we are talking about weapons, and that is... such things, it seems to me, well, they are generally known,

in relation to your question, if, for example, there is a problem with the supply of weapons from the united states, well, first of all, i do not believe that, i am sure that it is in the national interest of the united states, there are many arguments in favor of the fact that the united states should support ukraine because at least, well, there was a recent study conducted by american authors, by the way, the main conclusion reached by these authors is that it will be much more expensive for the united states if ukraine loses this war. that is, even from the point of view of economic expediency and rationality, it is necessary to support ukraine in every way right now so that it wins. if we are talking about some kind of conditional plan b regarding the provision of military and technical assistance, then let's not forget that there are 300, as a minimum... in fact , much more, at least 300 billion dollars in europe of russian sovereign

assets, that is, these resources must be used. i am sure that the west will find different, maybe even creative options, regardless of who will become the president of the united states, in order to help ukraine. thank you, mr. oleksandr, ms. oksana, tell me, here we are. we are talking about this victory plan, obviously we all want this victory, obviously we all want to go to the borders of 1991, and we want russia to withdraw its troops from the territory of ukraine, and in principle the war that is going on in ukraine, it is a people's war, because not only the ukrainian people, but also the efforts of many sections of the people, not just the armed forces of ukraine. and volunteers and ordinary ukrainians who help finance the army, and

many, many people who take indirectly, and those who are at the front, and those who indirectly help ukrainians to fight, this is a people's war, in the conditions of this people's war , is it clear to you why this victory plan, well, relatively speaking, is being written. only in one center, perhaps the verkhovna rada should be involved in this plan victory, is it right from the point of view of state, state secrets and secrecy, so as not to upset this victory plan, what do you think about this? well, as they say, we all know, it's a very good saying, if you want peace, prepare for war, so when we're really going to have peace sooner or later, we're forced to keep on not... just preparing for war, because we're already in war, but continue to actively

build up their internal forces in order to hold the defense, and then the question of future peace negotiations will be held for the best scenario for ukraine. unfortunately, it so happened that we, as a country, an independent player, will not be the only ones sitting at this table, we will be part of those big players. education, which will also partially decide our fate, no matter how unfortunate it sounds, but that is how it is, and of course what we hear today from our allies... that they will exclusively support the position of ukraine, but they can different way, for example, to push her to do something, for example, by allocating less funds to us for the internal support of our there are protected articles or etc., and it will be

internally in our country, we will be looking for more and more funds for the army, we cannot ensure the payments there... we have such a big propaganda story in the sense that many, many different people today is not always what we were in the same 22nd year, but we have a lot of disunity, and this is also used by many people, so what is the plan, what you asked, you know, at this stage, i i'm not sure if it's something like that... there's a plan, it's needed to publish, even i, believe me, i'm not ready to tell you that i think it's necessary to talk about him right now, because there are still so many questions, and really a lot will be decided after the united states election, and these negotiations will continue, therefore , for the time being, in order for our positions to be strong, we must continue to internally

clench our fists and keep on the defensive, both to the rear and to everyone. the army, and the people in general, because this is really a people's war. thank you, ms. oksano, mr. rossislav, you were the director national institute for strategic studies, and obviously, similar plans or similar initiatives were also developed, do you understand how, on what principles these plans are built, can you say whether ukraine should have several plans. victories or several action plans, how, how does it all happen, how did it happen with your participation and not, what exactly can ukrainians expect from these plans? thank you, well, first of all, i would warn the authorities against writing anything to a very narrow circle of five or six managers, as president zelensky said, because such plans are not are prepared in narrow circles or even

with the involvement of two or three close experts, advisers, each such plan... has a part that determines what each specific authority does, there is a part that concerns the parliament, there is a part that concerns government, and you always ask how it was with us, we had a parliamentary platform, where even president poroshenko was not ashamed to come, telling the things that needed to be known to the deputies, leaders of the factions, actually such leading representatives of the committees, and then , by the way, it was easier to fight the russian enemy, when we could be there talking on tv and so on, but having received clear information, representatives of different political forces could work together on international topics, international platforms and not blindly trusting someone, because you know, you can also mention barbecues, you can to mention the peace summit, we were also told not to bother, we know better, and

then it turned out that we didn't know better and would have preferred to listen to those who said that it should be done differently, so... it was necessary to if the session of the parliament is not closed, then at least a meeting of the president with the representatives of the factions, talking about these things before it is presented to international partners, if only so that everyone knows their maneuver, and if only because mrs. oksana very correctly and timely mentioned the beginning of a full-scale invasion and the unity at that time, but it was based on the fact that we understood that we were all in the same boat, and now... it turns out that someone is telling us, we know better here, although again there is evidence that they really do not know, take our word for it, although, well, again there is too much evidence that it is still better to know, and it would certainly be better for all of us, for the citizens, for the country, if it were presented, talked about, calculated scenarios if something goes wrong, and then

we can talk to the americans , and by the way, i will say the last thing, by the way, talking with partners is on a completely different level. and there will be much more trust and respect for such a plan, if all the main political forces are behind it, if the parliament is behind it, if it is behind it, well, now they do not want a unity government, although i am convinced that it is we will come anyway, but at least everyone who knows something about this subject stands behind him, and yes, when you know, five or six managers brought something, well, excuse me, i'm afraid such will be the fate, as well as the peace summit and kebabs on master, thank you, mr. rostislav. well, you mentioned partners, of course, we are now watching how the presidential campaign unfolds in the united states of america, and there have already been debates, probably the first and last between. trump is mocked because trump talks about the fact that he seems to have won, and as a champion, he is not should go out again for some kind of duel, and who is this kamala, but what

trump says, trump says that he can come to an understanding with russia and with china and very quickly. in an interview he gave to blogger farooq samrad sarmad on the x platform, he said, i don't know if they are enemies, they mean. china and russia. i think we will get along perfectly with china. i think we will get along great with russia. russia will settle this situation. well, trump uses similar rhetoric regarding ukraine, that he will do anything in order for the war between russia and ukraine to end within a day. mr. oleksandr, do you have a vision of what or whether ukraine should give preference to any one presidential candidate, given that one of the candidates. really sympathizes with ukraine a lot and will continue the policy that joseph biden is currently pursuing? well, for now, i

'm convinced that there's no need to favor either candidate because we don't know who's going to win, and to me that's the strength of democracy, the unpredictability when we can't to say who will become the president of the most powerful country in the world, and at the same time, ah... we need to , well, i think, wait for the results of the elections and prepare for any option, find suitable arguments, but the point is that we don't need to now pay special attention to the rhetoric of one of the candidates, because this is an election campaign, there are laws of the genre, for example, trump has a kind of image that he cultivates, supports, it is the image of a person, a businessman, a businessman. who can do, as he even has a book like that it is called, as he did not want to say a word of mouth, dial, yes, that is, he can reach an agreement

with anyone, and he cultivates this image, but this is part of the pre-election image, one should look not at the rhetoric of the candidates, but at their actions, especially when someone one of them will become the president of the united states, then it will become clear what the plan is, if there is even a plan for the new... president or female president regarding ukraine, that is, for now we have to understand one simple thing, we are very vulnerable right now in the sense that you know, it is important to us not spoil relations with these candidates, we will to work with whoever wins, and it is very important for us to delicately work around some issues, valuing and supporting bipartisan support. in fact, this is true, the majority of both republicans and democrats support ukraine, this is an extremely important issue, we have a lot of friends both in the american

congress and in the white house, and it is important that this remains, that this support remains, over the fact that it is necessary to work on this and have a dialogue with both candidates, but not to give preference or support any of them. thank you sir alexander, ms. oksana, what do you say? so about the quarrels that are happening there now, this discussion, did you follow the discussion between trump and harris regarding ukraine? well, you know, these elections are very intense in america, and they are being watched, i suspect, not only ukraine, well, it goes without saying, it is important for us that the elections are over, and the candidate who will win said the key thing, that support to ukraine will continue. this support will be quite fast, it will not stop, it will be financial, it will also be in weapons, but eh, who will really win today in

the united states, we do not know, it will be decided by the american people, even those representatives of ukrainians, the ukrainian diaspora who live in the states today, they are also divided in their views, and there are some ukrainians who sympathize with the democrats, there are also those who sympathize with the republicans, so... we will see, it is very important that ukraine is really at the center of this discussion, which means that we are still on the agenda of the world, the largest countries, our war, and therefore very it is important that it is really ours international partners and we, together with you, giving us effective and fast weapons, helped us to come to... to various plans, including the peace plans that we will discuss, because this is very key. so i hope that you and i will really be

wise, mature here. we will do our work, but also, what is very important today, the information campaign, russia is muffled by the fact that they are massively financing propaganda against ukraine today, whitewashing themselves, and we do not give such an answer, it is a pity our program is coming to an end, sorry, i have to interrupt my dear guests, rostyslav pavlenko, oleksandr mareshko and oksana savchuk were guests of our program today, thank you for your participation. program, hope that during our program we conducted a survey, and we friends asked you if you would move to the united states of america or the eu if you had the opportunity, the results of our survey 25% yes, 75% no, so these are the results today's survey, i say goodbye to you, see you tomorrow, it was a program, the verdict was conducted serhii rudenko, goodbye. september
