intergovernmental agreement with russia, a large agreement signed by presidents boris yeltsin and leonid kuchmai well remember how yeltsin was expected in kyiv. it was simply and such an expectation as the most important event, precisely because the ukrainian leadership believed that if he signed this contract, it is basically a guarantee. ukraine's security and sovereignty, if russia considers us an independent sovereign state, recognizes our territorial integrity, then what else do we have to wait for? however, all other states have no doubts about ukrainian statehood, and yeltsin did not just sign this agreement, he also signed another agreement, he did not sign it, but it was signed in his presence, about basing the black sea fleet in sevastopol, and by the way, it could b someone somehow... uh, let's say, make one think about the fact that yeltsin without this agreement on the black sea fleet refused to come and sign the big contract, this was their main condition, first the fleet, then the big contract, that is why, in principle, the agreement on the fleet is not what it could have been,

boris yeltsin and leonid kuchma. i remember well as yeltsin was expected in kyiv.was simply the expectation of the most important event, precisely because the ukrainian leadership believed that if he signed this treaty, it would, in principle, guarantee ukraine's security and sovereignty. if russia considers us an independent sovereign state, recognizes our territorial integrity, then what else should we expect? after all, all other states have no doubts about ukrainian statehood, and yeltsin did not just sign this agreement, he also signed another agreement, he did not sign it, but in his presence, the basing of the black sea fleet in sevastopol was signed, and by the way, the fact that yeltsin refused to come and sign a large agreement without this agreement on the black sea fleet could somehow make someone think, this was their main condition with ... first the fleet, then the big contract, that is why, in principle, the agreement on the fleet is not what it could have been, even at that stage, that is , we squeezed everything we could out of it, but president l

been, even at that... stage , that is, we squeezed everything we could out of it, but president leonid kuchma was so interested in yeltsin's arrival that he put pressure not only on the russian delegation, but not on his own, but yevgeny marchuk found it difficult to speak with oleg soskovets, the head of the russian delegation, because he saw how the president of ukraine was interested in the imminent arrival of the president of the russian federation, here is an example, i.e. we come to the point that otherwise... we don’t have any option other than covering the territory that we control with the nato umbrella, because any other security agreement, no matter how it sounds there, it may not be implemented a priori, of course, we need more than just umbrella, and the fact that russia recognized the right to this umbrella, so that it agreed to this, plus, we understand very well that any country that on... provides such a guarantee may change power, that is, this treaty, it must be absolute to perform, i see now the only such contract, this is the treaty on the north atlantic alliance, where a

from the cabinet of ministers, who has been more significant in the fate of yuzhmash , so this is leonid kuchmaent, came to the yuzhnaya design bureau after university, from eighty-six to ninety-two... the fate of the enterprise echoes, what yuzhmash turned into in the years of independence is very suitable for the name, if i may say so, is literature. the german chancellor writes supportive sms to the french president every day, and in this way he is trying to help emman macronov cope with the defeat of the presidential party in the first round of elections to the national assembly. the publication spiegel writes about the existence of such correspondence with reference to olaf scholdz himself. at the same time, the french leader does not even appear in public after the first stage of voting, which, however, does not prevent his party from weaving intrigue. several hundred associates macron and representatives of the left withdrew from the elections in favor of each other so as not to miss candidates from the right. our european correspondent anastasia popova will report on the situation on th

over the wording, er, in the history of independent ukraine, a referendum... exactly, well, once leonid kuchma tried to use a referendum to find out the will of the people in 1999, but, er, it was, so to speak, not gave answers to the political questions and political challenges of that time, even then even with all the efforts of the authorities, that's why there is such a long preamble and retreat in our historical one. the recent past in order to come close to the actual results of this survey, which put many, so to speak, in front of reality, i would say it like this, about the fatigue of the ukrainian people, the population of ukraine, if you like, from the war and a certain disorientation, people, who supported him. with russia , a lot of different meanings can be attached to the concept of negotiations, and even more, even more meanings can be attached to the concept of an agreement or agreements and so on, that is actually the situation when negotiations become an instrument of politics and become an instrument of war, hybrid war. you and i remember very well, this is exactly what the

then, for the first time, president leonid kuchma announced his intention to become a full member of however, 2013 was a turning point. under the pressure and threats of vladimir putin , viktor yanukovych at the last moment refused to sign the association agreement with the eu. euromaidan began in ukraine, which ultimately won. since then, the path to membership has not caused serious internal debate. but he encountered serious resistance from the outside. paris and berlin were extremely skeptical about the european integration of ukraine, even despite the russian occupation of crimea and donbas. however, after february 24, 2022, their position changed dramatically. now president emmanuel macron and chancellor olaf scholz are ardent supporters of the accession of ukraine to the eu. when we talk about the restoration of ukraine, we are discussing a few months after the beginning of the invasion of the russian federation, we gave ukraine a promise about the future of ukraine in the eu. we keep that promise. shol also confirmed his support for the european course of ukraine in december

controversies surrounding the wording, in the history of independent ukraine, referendums just, well, once leonid kuchma to use a referendum for... the will of the people in 1999, but this, so to speak , did not give answers to political questions and the political challenges of that time, even then, even with all the efforts of the authorities, so why such a long preamble and retreat into the historical, our recent past? in order to come close to the actual results of this survey, which... put many, so to speak, in front of reality, i would say it like this, about the fatigue of the ukrainian people, the population of ukraine, if you like, from the war and a certain disorientation, eh well, people who supported negotiations with russia can put a lot of different meanings into the concept of negotiations. and even more, even more values can be included in the concept of agreements or agreements and so on. actually, the situation when negotiations become an instrument of politics and become an instrument of war, hybrid war, you and i remember very well, that is exactly what the negotiations were like in

i will ask one last question here: before the war, ukrainians said that leonid kuchma is the best presidentn the short history of ukrainian independence, do you agree with this statement? of course, i cannot agree with this, for me it is... a person who was possible, i am even impossible, i would say, because president kuchma said what he said, then i consider him involved and guilty of in the murder of george, in the murder of my husband, in the murder of the father of my children, so it is clear to me who he is there is, but for society, society should remember in fact, this, the past and all, all presidents, and not with... and no, you know, we, we have a short memory very often, and i see this also in relation to politicians, and regarding senior politicians, regarding average politicians, in fact, until we have this, at least partial justice in the country, it will be very difficult to talk about the normality and democracy of ukraine, and i really hope that in the following years, after the war , i don't know these 5-10 years that ukraine will pass... a member of the european union, i

the wording, uh, in the history of independent ukraine, referendums are precisely, well, once leonid kuchmaa referendum to find out the will of the people in 1999, but it so to speak , it did not answer the political questions and political challenges of that time, even then, even with all the efforts of the authorities, so why such a long preamble? and a retreat in the historical e-e ours.

perception, but now behind us there is a symbol that i tried to somehow connect. with ukraine, leonid kuchmaat least he appeared for him, and there, i will not even think much about his artistic value there, about another symbol that somehow formed and settled, this is the mother's family, it is now the mother's homeland, or it is possible to do it like this, to work with it like this, just be a serb and young and attach a trident to it, or it will become ukrainian from that, that is, it was the soviet union, a totalitarian sculpture, they made it ours, well again, i do not have a clear answer, i am aware that the technical demolition of this monument is very difficult, that is, there is also a technical problem here, besides, in addition to symbolism, it is quite technically difficult to implement it demolition, this is roughly the same problem as with this warsaw palace of culture named after josef stalin, which is so beautiful in the center of warsaw, there were great discussions about what to do with it, because it is like a symbol of colonialism, it is... a gift from stalinska russia an

candidates got 4%, so they went to 109%,2, and as leonid danylovych said, the other hemisphere, the math is different there, the same thing happened already, kuchmad, so this is his referendum too... they showed 103% when they voted referendum on kuchmiv issues, we will continue to talk about international affairs on our airwaves, candidate of political sciences, international expert stanislav zhelikhovskyi is with us, mr. stanislav, we congratulate you, good morning, but we will start with the nearest neighbors, because the nearest neighbors are i mean hungary, they preside over the council of the european union, and orbán himself is so much. he drives and drives for good reason, because the chinese gave him the largest loan of 1 billion euros, he works out according to the full program, but quietly, as he says doychaveli, with his left hand he is doing something else, for example, he is making it easier for belarusians and russians to enter hungary, and how can this be, if in fact the european union has a single policy of sanctions, here orban is creating this, that is, russians will not come there... fsb to hungary, and then ride all over the
