that is what union organizing is. many of the women i worked with, the clerical workers, that is what we did. we started having one-on-one conversations about a fair work base. i learned how to organize from my mom. she was one of the fiercest organizers. she got called to the ceo's office for a one-on-one meeting during that drive. fast forward to this moment, today, an historic moment for organizing. millions of people want to join a union and they are organizing unions across industries across the country. there have been historic investments in clean energy, technology, infrastructure, we are coming off this wave of activity in congress that is going to lead to a competitive economy. sustainable environment and the promise of good quality jobs. our democracy is at a crossroads. will be build a more inclusive and responsive democracy? or will be allowed ourselves to be divided? for each of these opportunities and challenges, there is one response, one constant, unions. since i was here last, you may remember we had

announcer: afl-cio president liz schuller talked about the role of unions enter efforts to grow union membership and influence. the christian science monitor hosts the hour-long discussion. >> my name is mark trumbull, economy editor of the christian science monitor. welcome to our guests. today's guest is liz schuler of the afl-cio. she is the president of the labor federation and we are very glad to have you with us again as another labor day weekend rolls around. a little background, president schuler grew up in a union household. her father was a power lineman and longtime member of the electrical workers local 125 at portland general electric in oregon. her mother worked in the company's service and design department. ms. schuler attended the university of oregon and i might insert my own go ducks here, since that is the alma mater of my father-in-law. during college, ms. schuler worked summers at the electric company. i would say her life since then is testament that there can be a future for people who earn journalism degrees. after graduation, she returned to portland general

the union. -- being in the union. hopefully, they make a comeback. i think it's very important for our economy as a whole to have workers to have a collective voice and leverage. host: we will hear from maryland outside the nation's capital. caller: yes. when i heard the introduction, the group for free labor. that i hear right? host: are you talking about the piece we read earlier? caller: right. host: i would direct you to that piece by the historian heather cox richardson. you can read the full piece on her letter from an american that came out yesterday. paul is in new york. caller: good morning. my book mentions this kind of thought. what happened to prowess? when i was in the union to be a teacher, i broke the picket line because children had to make money on the train. their mothers had to go to work. what happened to prowess, getting paid because of your ability? the government wrecking the economy. a crane operator, $60 an hour. they make more money than a surgeon. they've got to pay li

european union and are the countries of the european union ready for this step or will they go exactlyy of depriving the right to vote ? the qualified majority vote or the simple majority that you mentioned are two mechanisms that really allow if any country is against it does not mean that the decision is blocked but precisely the issue of foreign policy between state relations is still valid. this principle of unanimity is where hungary uses this opportunity to block any foreign policy decision that, from its point of view, there harms, grows, is there the foreign policy interests or the foreign policy interests of the european union, in the opinion of hungary in this case, and precisely this desire to bypass this blocking trap has been expressed repeatedly , including by the federal chancellor of germany, ole von schulz, that the voting system in the european union should be changed, however if we look at the entire history of the existence of the european union and the initiatives that were taken with which countries to reform the adoption system decisions precisely in the field of

the union.nt to start a union, there are laws that protect union people and most people get fired from some of the meetings. i'm 84 years old in born and bred and i believe in unions, pe riod. host: what was your union? caller: i belong to the west or fire department union and i'm the central mass vice president of the afl-cio i love this false information that's put out there. i can see why these companies like fox news or any company has to put false information out there. they should have a retort of the other side stop host: thank you for calling. guest: thank you so much for calling. i would note that yes, the companies having more sophisticated antiunion campaigns is playing out now. over the past year, we saw amazon fire a number of very active leaders of unionization campaigns including the first president of the first amazon union which was voted in, the first warehouse to vote a union in in april in staten island. the company also help hundreds of antiunion meetings with lee's in the l

us , people's deputy of ukraine, head of the committee on ukraine's integration into the european union and ex-prime minister on european and euro-atlantic integration, we welcome you good evening well, of course, let's really start with the extent to which these international meetings are defensive, do they generally contribute to... i would say the consolidation of efforts around the support of ukraine and the very entry of ukraine by these international a community that is now trying to stop authoritarianism as such, you can say that, you know. i think that these military meetings in the rammstein format, which constantly expand the circle of states that participate in them, are probably a successful format because it goes more widely there than the member states of nato are hornets among the member countries of the european union and attracts er well, let's say such a coalition of those willing or ready er to support ukraine and the democratic spirit of the world. i think that this is about a much broader issue, not only exclusively the support of ukraine and the restoration of the

i am still low union member -- a union member, working part-time for my union, but i am also retired. i am part of the new york city-based public workers, and while democrats are more prounion, especially in new york city, for retired workers, they are taking away a lot of the health benefits they promised us from medicare. we are having a big fight right now with unions, specifically the labor unions and the usp in new york, just trying to take away our health care. host: susan, thanks for calling in. the line for workers, (202) 748-8003, union workers. we mentioned kevin mccarthy, the majority leader in pennsylvania, a state of much focus in the last couple of days and through the election, with president trump speaking over their weekend, and former president joe biden speaking there -- and president joe biden speaking there last week. kevin mccarthy speaking in scranton, pennsylvania. [video clip] >> in the past month alone, i have traveled over 20 states and met with republican members and thousands of their constituents. tonight, i want to share with you what i heard from americ

to join ukraine to the european union union will not happen until the end of the war, we all understand and realize it, and it is obvious that no one can predict when it will end, it is obvious that we cannot predict what the actual results of this war will be for the economy of ukraine for its infrastructure what about the president spoke, by the way, also the energy infrastructure is one of the critical a-a how much money will be needed to restore ukraine er-e how will it affect the social sphere and how will the economy develop, will it be liberal or will it still be social oriented er, well , the social-democratic lesson, they say that what bohdan was talking about, speaking of the key political forces or ideologies that are present in the european union, therefore, i think that these are continuous, or rather the totality of these factors, it will influence a on all the decisions of ukrainians and it is obvious that ukrainians , just like all other peoples of the european union, they will think first of all about their well-being, and about those decisions that will make it possibl

by the union. so we have had such stability and three are new. we have been working on a month 1/2 trying to resolve the issue and now have agreed to sign for the unions the mou with the union, so we are going throughout process with these 12 that started out as non-union and let the employees vote what they wanted, what they are representation is. that's the process that we go through. it starts with a request by the union to have a card check agreement. and there has been no currently no lessee's in violation. one is getting close. the cafe is getting close. if they are non-responsive to provide the names of the employees, the airport will take action against that one outlet. right now, and i feel like part of the problem is we are not used to enforcing the requirements of this because we have worked together for so long and people know what's expected at the airport. so to be honest, when this came up about six weeks ago and this went up from zero to 100 and it wasn't even on my radar and the le

any choice in front of me, e,any bill, the union way, anti-union way. every single time goingwith the union way of life . [applause] please understand the stakes in this race. send me to washington dc so i can work with senator casey and i can champion the union way of life in jersey. excuse me, in dc. thank you very much and it's an honor. i live eight minutes away from here and when i leave tonight, i've got three miles away, doctor oz in his mansion in new jersey, you've got a friend and you have an ally. send me to washington dc.. you very much. thank you steelworkers. >> thank you john. you know, when this campaign started in 2020, i got a call from then a good friend of the steelworkers joe biden asking me to join him and meet him in cleveland and we would take a train ride back together. he wanted to talk about things the country was facing and that the working classwas facing . so off i go tocleveland . louis drives me out there and i get on the train with amtrak and here we are, we're making our way back to pittsburgh. but during that trainride

we didn't have a union. the power lineman did and that difference was what weshowed me that in addition to good pay t and good benefits that it also meant dignity and it meant respect. it meant having voice, being heard. and that's how i got my start. you mentioned we started organizing clerical workers as a company and it is abouthaving one-on-one conversations which we are hearing so much about these days . the importance of talking to each otherface-to-face . that's what union organizing is and many of the women i worked with in clerical work, that's what we did. we started having one-on-one conversations about their workplace so nethat's where i g my start and i learned how to organize from my mom because she was one of the fiercest organizers. she got called to the ceos office for a one on one audience meeting during that drive but i feel that to fast forward to this moment today, it's a historic moment for organizing in this country. millions of people want to join a union and their organizing unions a

to 65% of the population of the european union.ecause of the sensitivity of the european union regarding the need to preserve the consolidation of the member states around the condemnation of russia's aggression in ukraine, he can negotiate a certain, let's say, compromise line to fulfill these demands of the european union. moreover, there is a lot of criticism that the european commission is quite long held these negotiations with the hungarian government, these negotiations were not good and, in principle, did not cover all the issues regarding which there is criticism of hungary, that is, if after all, it is about some certain compromises that mr. orban can act on, so it turns out that he will be the winner in this game on the chessboard , not the european union, so - let's go mr. yuriu is talking about the fact that we got the first one there, that is, we won these debates in this dispute, but in fact they really have to demonstrate , according to their 17 proposals for reforms, what they will specifically do, especially in te

leave this union, ukraine will also play a factor, and what is it, in fact, the european union alreadysuccessful the case of ukraine's integration into the european union is, and in fact, how it can grow and the influence of the european union is not only there, the black marys of azov, not only, but also if we include the factors of energy, if we also include the agro-industrial complex, then it is the middle east, asia, africa, that is, let's find out more about the visit of ursula von der lalna to ukraine and its results for us, you have already mentioned energy security, this was discussed in particular during the negotiations with our president, which we can already talk about, what results and possibly a change in policy of the european union in fact, the fact that this visit is already the third visit has already taken place this is already such a powerful signal yes and this is a powerful signal of what is this is already such a path and the european union is already very serious about the fact that ukraine is no longer god nature zone a this is already the future of the europe

he wanted to reform the soviet union. but in the end, of course, that led to the soviet union's collapse. but this is something where bab abbas was very clear. this is something that cannot be forgotten and it is something all germans understand without michelle garbage of german reunification wouldn't have been possible. it's this is just a fact and the fact that it became a peaceful process is also attributed to him. this was not a collapse where some violent force went in and essentially said this is it. the wall came down peacefully. it was brought down by the people. and this was because of that special atmosphere where you had a leader in the soviet union called mikhail gorbachev. that created that atmosphere and that gave the people the confidence that it could be done. i think for some of our younger viewers, it must be difficult to imagine what the time was like the time of glass norsen perestroika. these terms that shaped our, our discourse back at the end of the eighty's when they were leading up to the berlin

any choice in front of me, any bill, union way, anti-union way, every single time, going with the union way of life. [applause] please understand the stakes in this race. send me to washington dc so i can work with senator casey and i can champion the union way of life. thank you very much, it's an honor, when i leave tonight, i've got miles away, dr. oz and his mansions in new jersey, you've got a friend and ally. send me to washington dc, thank you steelworkers. [applause] >> thank you, john. in this campaign -- when this campaign started in 2028, i got a call from a good friend of the steelworkers, joe biden. he asked me to join him in cleveland and we would take the train ride back together. he wanted to talk about things the country was facing in the working class was facing. so up i go to cleveland, and i get on the train with amtrak joe. we are making our way back to pittsburgh. during the train ride, it was just he and i and one other gentleman in this car, we talked about what is wrong with the nation, what is going on. it was not that he had a nostalgia about unions, he saw th

the soviet union was under gorbachev. and it resembles to some extent what life was like under the breaking the breaking up period. the only difference is that russians can still with difficulty leave russia. he really has a dismantle most of that. and primarily is how bent on subjugating ukraine on, reabsorbed in ukraine into rush or into some kind of a slavic federation. so he is deliberately progressing, in essence, the collapse of the soviet union. he said that the collapse of the soviet union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe. and he's determined to reverse that, whether he can do it, i don't know, but it's certainly the direct opposite of everything that gorbachev set in motion. and mr. tell me, do you see? then the invasion of ukraine is this vladimir putin's remedy to the disaster that occurred during gorbachev swatch. well, putin, obviously think, so i don't think so myself because it's hard to characterize a bloodbath with all kinds of horrendous consequences as a, as a remedy of. but he said this is put

is the most difficult for negotiations with the european union? i have been conducting negotiations with the european union for many years, and perhaps the most difficult criteria are those that are too general, that is, the european union always leaves room for maneuver. yes, that's right. it was the same and when there were negotiations on the visa-free regime at the time when this decision was made, it was possible to either endlessly implement some recommendations, because at some point to stop and say that progress is sufficient and a block of these recommendations that relate to the implementation of international standards for combating the recovery of funds and the financing of terrorism, and here, if the field for such an assessment is very large, because the number of these recommendations is actually infinite, they can also be carried out for a long time, but they are updated regularly, they are updated, ukraine is evaluated together with other countries. that is this is such a long process that, in principle, can only be completed poli

in the house of unions. ah. yes daria greetings but here literally, a civil memorial service had just taken place. everyone who came to say goodbye to mikhail grachev was asked to leave the columned hall of the house of unions. there now near the coffin. in general, politics. only the closest and dearest of his family, his companions and companions, remained, from 10:00 in the morning until two in the afternoon the ceremony of forgiveness lasted. this is the maximum, uh, allowed time for each to to want to pay tribute to the memory and respect of the last vaginseku. here is the central committee of the cpsu and the first and only president of the soviet union was able to do it and really people. mm , there were so many that even though nobody really lingered at the coffin for just a second to bow and arrange the flowers. still, it was a never-ending stream. e people, a, who walked for several hours here in a cold room. the house of the unions was also very much here and on the adjacent streets to the house o

today begins the countdown of the new history of the soviet union of the former soviet union , a singlee land will no longer be december 1991. the message of the soviet union the socialist republics, a great country that existed for almost 70 years, disappeared, and on its fragments there were 11 independent states that had to start their lives from scratch. but is it only one desire of yesterday's allies to gain independence ? the cause of the collapse, the ussr the us president harry truman came up with the red threat to the western world almost immediately after the end of world war ii, putting forward in 1947 a doctrine aimed at combating communism, totalitarian regimes imposed on a free people by direct or indirect aggression undermine the foundations of international peace research the security of the united states, this is how the policy of containing soviet influence in the world began, which turned into a cold war and an iron curtain for the country of the soviets. faced with a new round of western aggression , the soviet government in the fifties and sixties will make a number

stacked union army in his rear. all right. so if lee attempts to move around pipe creek, he puts his army in a very vulnerable spot. so facing an inability to turn lee's army excuse me, needs army. lee would have no choice but to attack meade on the high ground. here's what hunt wrote. quote for it can hardly be supplied, meaning lee's army having gone up to pennsylvania. they would fall back without excuse me, i read this wrong for hardly be supposed that having gone up to pennsylvania they would fall back without attacking us. they're there to give battle. hunt continued, it would probably have been better had meade concentrated his army behind pipe creek rather than at gettysburg. this is battles and leaders. this is 25 years after the war because in case of defeat, meade's line of retreat would have been comparatively short and easily covered. while lee's would be four to marches through an open country before he could gain the mountain passes. so we think about what actually happens, right? lee has a fairly sho

brian: that's why the dems wants the unions. if i could produce this again, i would have started with your question to me. when you kicked my union idea to the curb saying only 5,300 starbucks. you outresearched me. >> 380,000 overall. a lot of this is coming out of the media and i would be cautious. right to work is very popular in the u.s. brian: no more gas stations being built in california, and soon you won't be able to buy a gas powered car. rolling blackouts. people are saying don't charge your electric car in california because we don't have enough power. here is glenn youngkin. >> we find ourselves with this ludicrous law that virginia has to follow california's law. the law itself is ludicrous. 2% of all cars sold last year in virginia were electric vehicles. to say we are going to phase them out by 2035 is just ridiculous. brian: when is reality going to hit the climate crazies. >> this is a crazy policy and it's ironic. they are mandating the end of gasoline powered cars for electric cars. but they won't get you char

the soviet union of ruins, the memory of him is defamed.s and great- grandfathers arranged, who were respected in the world, with which achievements were also considered, which, such as the first space flight of the building of the first nuclear reactor of the first computer and many others, shocked peace. we were leaders in this regard , moreover, but this is already in my time, first of all, not a single issue in the world. not a single issue was resolved without the soviet union, it was impossible to imagine that a war could start somewhere. without the approval or tacit consent of the soviet country, the americans were afraid to think that they could get involved in the soviet troops on the opposite side, and this balanced the planet. this is multipolarity. well, let's say bipolarity then. it was in soviet times that we returned to our territories, and today we returned to our calendar an important date in our history september 17 , 1939 is the day of the reunification of the belarusian people after decades of polish occupation. now thi

the post-soviet era and once i was traveling on a train from moscow to the soviet union. my neighbor was a lady member of the upper house. it seems to me that the parliament of belarus is already lukashenko's, but she was she was going to a meeting with members of the federation council, so she made a permanent, you know, yes, the director i did beauty school and of course in such a situation you can't go to bed it's evening then he comes there at 6:00 in the morning already she was sitting the whole time we were sitting as she was sitting i was also then because they were inconvenient to convey and we were reading she was reading belarusian to me there are also poems in ukrainian, they drank tea and read from poems, and she told me, god, you know, i can’t do it to anyone. well, she reached great heights there, well, i can never say what she can’t do to anyone, that’s how according to the poem in belarusian, no one and finally here she is she loves it was clear that she was in love with a person there in belarusian poetry this is what it is for them and here we were sitti

federations with the veterans movement, the union of veterans and the belarusian republican youth unionn the framework of this agreement there is a similar regional agreement, so we meet with veterans, and they hear me and will not let me lie, as they say, uh, very often in the near future, which we will hold events with their participation. this is the fourth spartakiad gomel regional strategy, the only one among regions is carried out by public associations throughout the region. it will be dedicated, which means the unity of the russian people and our favors of historical memory. very soon the whole country will celebrate national unity day. please tell us what this holiday means to you personally. and how will you welcome him ? well, the holiday is young, but this in no way interferes with its significance. the fact is that, probably, all the same, hmm, this is the impetus for making a decision to hold such a holiday at the institute. still, there were twenties. well, twenty years. well, not only, probably, that's all . this is a celebration of the unity of the nation. uh, the main

do you mean membership in the european union or for or yes membership in the european union?first wave is a large fund so now these funds are barely smaller , europe is second to us because this is our way of life, thinking and breathing, we are part of this europe, we prove that we are part of europe and why will they take us, yes, because we have a large added value, a country with a large added value nfl-steyu what is it for viewers what do you mean added value is a potential that can be materialized to expand it and develop a very, very big perspective up and further and far away as they say, that is, a country with such territorial human potential and such strength of spirit and with such material resources, which we should understand by material resources - this is one of the main factors of the russian attack on ukraine, yes, material resources, just how many of our minerals are directly occupied by the russian federation, they need everything seize ukrainian it's just a looter, yes, so that the european union has understood what it is all about, what is the state of u

the invasion of poland was actually an attack without a declaration of war by the soviet union, but somenist historians there say that in this way stalin gathered ukrainian lands and we should be thankful that the present ukraine was formed thanks to stalin, he gathered western ukraine . gathered bukovyna, he gathered part of odesa oblast there. that is, there is part of transylvania, here is ukraine, then crimea. well, it was no longer stalin, it was later, so we have to thank the soviet army and individuals. of ukrainian lands was announced a little earlier in 1919, the act of zluka on january 22, 1919, and by the way, representatives from bukovyna transcarpathia were also present there, that is, two ukrainian independent states declared their desire to unify and exist in one council of ukraine 20 years before stalin did it, and it was a real ukrainian unification, stalin only used this national map to justify his aggression against poland, in fact , it was only a cover for his plans in kharkiv and nothing more than that, what did he bring good to the ukrainians, to the belarusians, or

so if the union that union forced that subsidiary arm is smaller army. i'm going to tell you about little more in a minute were to go to petersburg and take petersburg now and the commander has an option go for richmond go for petersburg. if the confederates cover richmond leave petersburg uncovered and that smaller union army takes petersburg. the confederates are done in richmond. they will not be able to hold richmond. they will not be able to maintain lee's army nor the richmond and they're gonna lose northern virginia most of the state really so this is very this is a very sensitive target. the grant is poking out with a smaller army. it could be grant's entirely open to the possibility that while he is up here in northern virginia directly supervising the army of the potomac. these guys will win the war. well, it might happen. and so any hopes without by stretching lee and all those directions he will be able to gain an advantage over him. well that leads to another problem though. another thing that grants going to have to deal with is here. so he

about this, the west should not delay and with the response to russian aggression in the european union, they want to make decisions by a simple majority of votes. well, that's normal. well , in ukraine, ukraine needs to be cleansed of russia, he said, but who exactly said it and much more another one in a moment in the world about ukraine column well, but i'm starting today and not yet the most important event abroad , fortunately the sofa did not happen, the new prime minister of great britain or the pact will become the prime minister of great britain tomorrow lis tras was informed of her victory today at 2:30 p.m. kyiv time, ms. tras, whom my colleagues from the morning broadcast called trust, which translated means trust, won the support of trishka, more than 81,000 british conservatives voted for her opponent, ex-head of the ministry of finance, ricci sunak almost 60 and a half thousand members of the party and with the right vote ms. tras immediately thanked her predecessor and comrade boris johnson and declared that she was elected as a conservative and therefore to lead country

european union and this reformation will take place in relation to such countries as hungary.nd by the way, there are different opinions in hungary . opposition forces and there are a lot of people in hungary , and research shows that they have different opinions, they differ from the opinions of that shorban, so let's hope that this will also fuel new forces in the european union, despite the fact that the ultra-right or right-wing forces, as we just mentioned in italy , can take some kind of new head because in europe and from the beginning, orban emphasized and won precisely because he was such a national patriot and declared his all political achievements around the values ​​themselves hungarians and their wallets in the first place and he is actually proving this now, for example, by purchasing gas directly from the russian federation for you absolutely cheap, but europe will freeze, well, that's right mrs. remark no, it's a standard mark, it's very important for why to support it, according to hungarians accepted the hungarian elections, so let's return to the topic of h

he allowed for the peaceful collapse of the soviet union.e did not use massive force to keep eastern europe in the empire, and for that, he deserves credit. but it is not that this was someone who came in trying to undermine the system. he tried to reform it. reporter: gorbachev used perestroika, or restructuring, to reform a stagnant economy that had seen people short of food and consumer goods and he used glasnost, openness and freedom of speech, that led to parts of the eastern bloc rising up against communism. it was the beginning of the end of the cold war, one state after the other broke away. angela merkel, former german chancellor, spoke in her tribute of the fear in east germany, of expectation that the tanks would roll in, but quite the contrary, wasn't long before the berlin wall came down. yet now, 30 years on with the russians invasion of ukraine comes the danger of further , east-west conflict. >> russia and its president are digging new trenches in europe , and have started a horrible war in ukraine. it's now we think of mikha

states, we are talking about germany and other european countries, about threats from the european union, that is, why am i saying that today russia is fighting with its army in ukraine, but at the same time, russia is fighting a hybrid war in the european continent with the european union and shanta gas blackmail oil blackmail e-e creation of a food crisis creation of a migrant crisis disinformation cyber attacks all these are elements of a great hybrid war on the european continent created by the russian federation and russia therefore fatigue from the war in ukraine leaving ukraine alone with russia is will be only the first step to the next steps of russia's advancement into europe, and of course the only salvation is the unity of europe, the unity of europe among itself, unity with ukraine, unity with other partners with j7 countries, united states with great britain, that is, in unity, we will be able to get through this winter with those gas reserves and with the gas production that we have, with diversification, with the rejection of dependence on russian energy resources, which

as for the gas balance of the european union, gazprom does not need to worry about it.thing is going according to plan. everything is going well. the replacement of russian gas, not only lg, with electric pipelines is going well. gas from azerbaijan means to norway recently the same baltic pie was opened, the supply of azerbaijani natural gas is increasing through the tanap gas pipeline and the transabriotic gas pipeline of the south- south corridor of zazhyru, the supply is increasing in addition, the european union is reducing the consumption of energy carriers, so i think that as of today, the european union in its gas basket has only 9% of natural gas from russia by import, while last year it was 40%. therefore, everything is going according to plan, and i think that this is what angered putin, the kremlin leadership, that they understood that the energy crisis would not succeed, and therefore, so to speak, managed to do such an action out of anger and to demonstrate that gazprom and russia are ready for any -what terrorist actions in order to well, how to say pay b

we did this in the sixty's, it was a geopolitical thing between american soviet union. now this rocket, it has the european upper stage and when he goes back to the mood, some of the 1st dash knots will be from europe, from canada, from your japan. so this is now an international endeavor, not just one country versus another. and i think that's very important. and what sort of results says as this mission looking to find on the moon. this isn't, this really is a test mission. they're going to try everything. it's like a 5 or 6 week long trip around the moon and they'll do some different orbits for very close. we're going to test all the cameras, the sensors, the computers, the life support systems such that they know that the next time make why this, that it's safe to do so with humans on board. now when we're looking at the issue of technology and how advanced it's been, now how things have progressed since apollo? what makes this mission different to what happened previously? well, again, be back in the sixty's. we did things sort of in a race, certainly was a race. a

his 1st speech as leader of the soviet union. it was clear, he was a stark contrast to his predecessors we had for you as though all right. i live in peace and freedom as the most am you hold my basic right of it. and laura, jewel, robert julia. gorbachev wanted to change the soviet union to bring it closer to the people. he promoted glasnost openness and perestroika reforms to words that will forever be associated with him. his new outlook was popular with many his policies also applied to the military. despite the resistance of soviet generals, which it last year severe for his honest, i'm convinced that we will also have to reform our military. but he, we have far too many weapons law. certainly, we have to seek dialogue with other superpowers and reduce our arsenals to a reasonable extent in that yourself. as a result of that dialogue gorbachev and you as president reagan find the 1st of many disarmament treaties in 1987. it was the beginning of the end of the cold war in october 1989 when he visited east berlin for the g d r

you yourself understand what the union was doing during the existence of the soviet union, and only then, when ukraine became independent, is this union too i was busy with the fact that they were organizing some kind of event there and nothing special was happening , and mr. tkachenko, the minister of culture and information policy, also immediately announced that he is categorically against closing the museum. let's listen to him bulgakov is from kyiv, so he had in some of his works of art, underline the enemy and the lines of certain heroes regarding the liberation struggles of ukraine at the beginning of the 20th century. than to solve the issue of the bulgakov museum, there is such a conspiracy theory that they say that this idea was deliberately launched through such a dubious organization as the writers' union so that the idea itself was immediately discredited, we will talk about it now, but i will say that we did not delay and russian our beloved liberals, what can he say about one of them, about oleksandr rodnyanskyi, who is also a former kyivan, er, and he wrote two posts on h

i am almost sure that russia will stop supplying gas to the european union by 100%. it will be better to burn this gas in the air, dump it. will not sell to the european the union will be left without transit, and here our operator of the transport system must be ready in such a situation, well, for the transit of russian gas, the initial contract remains a little more than a year until the 24th. maxim, i see that you agree with mr. volodymyr, and the europeans are ready to such a gas blackout, if we can call it uh, the euro-month claims that they are ready for exactly this, they are building up uh, reserves in warehouses so that it won't be a challenge for them, well, a surprise. however, i think that it will not be a deception - a momentary exclusion from after pressing the button and that's it. i think there will be a long period of confrontation there and manipulation, because let's see how they work now. they work with everything. they are not focused on the prices in the news of real deliveries, but on stock prices, and stock prices are like that . ports it dep
