boy with a very small difference between them in terms of voice and. she's also trailing behind but ever so slightly today's there is a battle for the second place and that battle the struggle will be very tight. as reasons why there was hasn't decided. to support. what i think the us has decided but it keeps silent about that. is as follows. there are three candidates places a bat selenski to mush and. one candidate. these four is associated with the self. region of ukraine is all for magic normal relations with russia that is boy. well different from the other three

and that is why he receives no attention from the why sleeping is probably the reason why the west keeps silent some say they. are ok with any of the three candidates side mentioned that is why they do not want to . by choosing some. particular candidate. because if they place their bet on one and the other wins that would be a problem i think that's the reason. just mentioned the west or the united states are probably already they probably already know. she's in the famous right now israel is have any problem in tory election campaign you have a daughter the situation is intense there's board says the. support from the tri. from the president trying to sort of ministration and sat in

the background president attempt to win sympathy. not yielding results and trumps attitude seems to be less. is that anything personal between trump and poroshenko do you think. for one think. if you would ask me. do you think the trump administration supported ukraine i would say it's not. as it's based on facts couple of days ago very same prosecutors general. the number of things about the us ambassador in ukraine and a number of things. and those stories started to. take . no one looked into this even though the opposition platform for life

and i personally said back then that the head of the national anti-corruption body should be taken to court that's what we said but no one paid attention and. he on the decision of the district court of december last year could be. legally intervened in. the company and he. forced legal. money and ukraine. the date the information was published even though the investigation is not exist and there is no investigation but all the data of information has been leaked to mass media for instance. the court ruled back then that those actions were against the law and those two. citizens they damaged crane's foreign policy insurer.

they interfere reassuring in the u.s. election that's what the course. of the last two years is a different situation as being very popular the investigation into. russia's intervention you know if you were pretty much if you see the report has not been published at the time. this is not just information from mass media talk about no that came from ukraine scored. that should matter for anyone to say. but no one paid attention and we do know about the actions of. his company and the election in us was under way this prosecutor general he surely would not you. know when he was. he had position in mind. it was not new back then the u.s.

would not support him during the election. it would support someone else and he thought i think thought that the u.s. would support zelinsky that's my opinion because. what they. said ministration was made after. the us. you're fond of each made quite a few strong statements about elections in ukraine don't you think that both the united states and russia are using basically the same rhetoric when speaking about the ukraine's elections or just some might then they are concerned they are skeptical don't you think. it's an interesting fact i'm stuffed or all these years the positions of the united states and russia i actually do the same. you know i really think. what we see is a very tough and dirty campaign to cover. they use their resources and the

president uses these resources to. use every mechanism they can reach out to the broad. as they. begin you. want and that will happen on the thirtieth. vote counting will be underway i mentioned a number of candidates right but you should understand that two of the candidates. were registered just candidates on the technically superficially. why would they need them. so that. it would be possible to play and correct to the right people to all the polling stations. that would give the forces the current forces not the u.g. to have leverage of the vote count and influence the brought a calls you know the

outcomes of election. started with building that foundation for the vote rigging and of course everyone knew that it was impossible not to notice that there was that foundation then the walls were constructed and the roof will be put on top of it and that will happen after the election is i volunteered for to. do yes of course took notice of it and russia noticed no surprises here. quite skeptical about. and also. all these candidates are basically given a choice between the present is can you clear and understandable to people yet loath to some future with some hope for what do you think you me and society is no craving what is most important that people want what is the things want.

it's very simple. take the recent opinion polls over the last year maybe two or three years then we will see that most of the ukrainians have certain expectations. expectations from future presidents and from. the first one to see the seem to know how to stay. still majority of the ukrainians believe that this is. a problem number one and ukraine second. terror of genocide is recall it and. is a second problem terms of its breath or scope about the even come of our people and there are many more reasons there's no end to these problems the current authorities they do what they can. stay in power and over the last year did so many things things that as bad as no other government did before i'll give you

a number of. prices and. meat for example they. rose by three hundred fifty percent can you imagine that if we take bread four hundred percent vegetables up to four hundred percent rise in prices we take care of gas terrorists. arise. central heating. and that's how much the prices. have gone up the income is the lowest. in europe as well as bunch and retirement benefits the lowest in europe the g.d.p. per capita again. the last in europe we are the poorest country in europe and that's what we became. thanks to that government we

have the government the authority is still struggle still one to remain in office with these other things to which. our people are preoccupied with. there are these three candidates. so good well very much skeptical about. why it is a. simple because they are there say. they want to become part of nato but no one wants nato they want to become part of the e.u. but. it's not for us because free trade zone has already during our economy and has been flooded into the situation we are in now these three candidates other people who think that but you. can be achieved through sanctions sanctions against russia but if we see sanctions against russia. well nothing will happen. we want to. position. we want to

give these embassies special status we want to guarantee these people security and this way we want to bring them back to ukraine but these three candidates they want to. russia for political and military means and they say you know use expect anything from them. no this they do that deliberately they have their money fast and they know that nothing day proposed will be done but we have the real program makes things better well we have to take a short break now but we will be back in just a few moments. breaks

it count down tonality. you know world of big partisan movies and logs and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

for. the tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implement from the inside venezuela things look different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela so sudan famously have a supplement goes. down the syntax of political battle song yet the second the mass of the moment the focus of the who story is a new nixon told in henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated that in latin america. an old time. economic and social system could take

hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the chilean economy scream so wants to make the economy of venezuela screed. welcome back to worlds apart will be i discuss the crane's upcoming elections with a prominent ukrainian politician. supports your candidate it's understandable that you support him mr yuri boyd but as far as i understand he is don't see counted a race is great for for third depending on the poll why do you think this position is not really popular with the ukrainian citizens used to move in the

if you take the situation with you because you knew. that the majority of people unfortunately. but let me conclude my last thought was that those who propose that i needed they are smart people but they actually propose things in such a way as to never actually also deliver on their promises they want to win their voters now and then you could lose people who leave all of the territories ukraine does not control this boy i mean the dawn bass they are not voting they will not vote for these three candidates and that is why is these three candidates. they're quite convincing what is comes to visit basis. people. believe that it is russia to be blamed and the count to four inches are not to be blamed these people they trust these three candidates is just a huge mistake on their part but that's true i mean if these people vote for one of

these three candidates they will not see peace in the donbas because neither of the three would be no one would be so they don't need that peace that's the main reason i mean the last closeness ask. i mean you mentioned all the difficulties the ukrainian votes have to face in the selection process and it's quite obvious that millions of ukrainian citizens will not be able to vote in this election those who live in the east. and since so many voters will not be part of it will be legitimate. i think this is not possible. today they did not give you to vote just three million people who work in russia they have to work in russia because the current authorities refused to give them jobs here in the ukraine and. the like today people who live on this uncontrolled

territories of ukraine they cannot vote those who believe in this. again we see that russia's observers were not allowed to. all these events they just go to show that the election cannot be seen as legitimate but you must understand why do you insist on participating in this election and promoting your candidate in that case there is not usually but that's part of the position of principle we do not want to sit idly we do not want to lose hope we will continue to fight will fight for our voters will fight for the interests of the southeast and the ukraine for the russian speaking population of your grade will be fighting against. who started the genocide in criminal law fullness and total lawlessness in the ukraine. if we do not do that there will be no one else to do no

political power to help people who work in russia to get the right to vote because you. are seeing this part is they know that those who work in poland or in russia will not vote for the current to force a store of those. leave you when you call these uncontrolled they will not vote for the count of stores but you should they know it. but we need these people we care for them because what we want to do is to give them their constitutional rights we want them to be full fledged citizens nationals of ukraine if not for us then who would do that. because it allows you already mentioned several times this term terry of genocide hughes to say how difficult it is for the citizens of ukraine to live they pay for gas they pay for utilities and as far as i know your. russian prime minister was in part. about the supplies of gas from russia

to ukraine i see. more of my question is about after everything that's being between russia and ukraine will these two countries be able to separate economics and politics because you know russia has been accused of using its end to resources to exert influence and to put pressure on the neighboring countries and that you think it's still possible to separate economics and politics in relations between our two countries. but as in a store on. google first. i'm convinced that this can be done of course i can. i think that this should be done regardless of what you can do that. it's really we really need to care about the people the culture source . told tales about the jobs about. anything they promise

a lot but they may fail to deliver when we went to moscow to conduct talks because we care about the interests of people and. the current authorities they say that your grace has finally. as it became independent from russian gas but by the very same gas russia's gas but at high prices and these prices they are a burden on the people the source is robbing people of the tariff they have gone up thousand percent as i said. if the current authorities. do not do that. in the future well they will be discredits again let me return to my. visit to moscow do not represent the official sources we went there to give people the signal that there is an opportunity to talk to

russia's authorities to negotiate with the gas problem we demonstrated that it is possible to come to terms with them with mr miller for instance and we showed the people that we can. put down the prices by twenty five percent and that is a very clear. i think very clear signal to the people of ukraine to the voters and the current authorities to them to. do anything to counter what we did well they can start a criminal investigation because of. illegal border crossing you know that. i suggest. they don't bust is given some special status and that again was taken as an evidence starts another criminal case that's what they do but they do not want to do is to lower the prices for gas. heating for everything which they

cannot do that. surely no one of the most sensitive issues in the relations between russia and ukraine. for naser man. membership and they have been changes made to ukrainian constitutions constitution that kept the country's course. possible to just continue developing the economic ties and just ignore that out has that. been tried in that i am myself as an expert on constitutional law and it's not the final law in ukraine. i mean these amendments you can write anything you want. any course you want. it doesn't matter that's for nato. well none of the twenty eight. members of nato want to buy tickets for the fight

for the war against russia washington for instance they have here is still with external control over ukraine and they use ukraine as a means of fighting russia. but americans they do not want to accept ukraine into nato because all these disputed. border. plus states that agreement which was dropped the agreements on borders and let's say. the fact that ukraine is the only country in europe which still fails to agree on borders and we have very long borders was russia and this question is still undecided it's going to look it up so all in all i do not think that nature would do anything to help ukraine became part of it can make some statements very good

statements and everything but it will all become part of it no idea she was still there is quite a large number of ukrainians from forty to seventy percent according to different course the support that they consider russian to be. what do you think you can to change and what should be done for that to change. what first and foremost i should say that that opinion he's changing it's not seventy percent no. i can tell you that it was never true not even the fifty percent supported ukraine's. dissipation in nature is a parade its inclusion in nato lower than that we have a lot of opinions polls and they conducted such opinion polls to show that it never had been the case at this point between the forty and forty four percent of people

support natures inclusion in eight. to thirty six percent are against this you see there is no overwhelming majority here. and. i've introduced a number of. bad on russia's cultural products movies t.v. programs. of russian. goodness they were good but what we see now is that. fifty four to fifty nine percent think that this is bad news against the constitution of ukraine two years ago it was different. now let's understand of all the more you balance things the more people want back at two hundred ninety there is a response to that russophobia. and then to russian history area of the book is

that there is another thing. i like to mention in may two thousand. eighty five percent of the ukrainians were. very positive about russia. then we had forty seven percent. most people having very good attitude towards russia a disappoints a could see fifty seven percent of the ukrainians are very positive about russia they have very positive attitudes the poor people. have very bad attitude towards russia they're only twenty nine percent of them the situation is changing with the worst of the but that's an argument for me that's what we are doing we are fighting for the people. we are promoting our candidate we are very active and we will be very active to follow mentary action because we fight for the interests of people. said you could be people who do not agree with that criminal but it in power is

very much against russia. the truth thank you very much for your time and i really hope that russians and ukrainians will understand each other and forgive each other one fine day you know i do believe this will happen i encourage our viewers to keep this conversation going in our social media pages and i hope to see you again the same place same time here on the walls apart. join me every first week on the alex salmond short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.
