khotin, a journalist of radio svoboda rostyslavs, congratulations glory to ukraine glory to the heroesate you well, it is clear that visas for russians are not the only thing that is being talked about on the forum. of foreign affairs in the european union for its wrong meeting, which will continue tomorrow tomorrow, but for now the main question is of course this is a discussion about whether to introduce a visa ban for citizens of russia on trips on trips to the eu to the schengen zone and so far, as of this hour, there is no consensus among the members of the european union. just today, the reuters agency showed franco-german documents. france, germany is against a visa ban for russians. these trips have a positive effect on the transformation of russian society, they are positive for the contact of citizens of russia with the democratic experience that thousands of them acquire in europe and what they say now there is no need to introduce this visa ban , so that it will have a negative impact on future generations of russians, the head of european diplomacy , jose borel, is also ag

rostyslav rostyslav journalist radio svoboda thank you very much as always extremely comprehensive that'st literally in 5 minutes we learned everything about today many important things actually happened in prague, and i hope that the inclusion of our next expert, bohdan ustymenko , director of the ukrainian institute of maritime law , will be just as effective now and safety, we congratulate you, mr. bohdan. glory to ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion, we breathed a sigh of relief when we realized that turkey does not allow russian ships through the bosphorus strait, the black sea, which could, among other things, provide fire support for a possible operation in the southern regions of our country in principle, this situation was so frozen and remained so until recently, because journalists discovered that it is possible that turkey still missed one of the ships on which the u.s. could be or completely or parts for the s300, we know how dangerous this weapon is and how actively the russian federation is now using it for us. so in the 20th of august, at night, a russian ca

khotin rostyslav my greetings , we are waiting for details from you who for who against why the visaicy of the european union towards russia against the background of moscow's aggression against ukraine can destroy the unity of the european union, currently there is no consensus on a complete visa ban for russian citizens, there is no position of the baltic states, the scandinavian countries, poland, the czech republic, the netherlands, they filled out the visa ban, and opponents portugal, italy, greece, cyprus, hungary , however, are the biggest argument there is a position of germany and france against a complete ban on manure; a joint document before the summit was made public by berlin and paris on the eve of the summit, and they emphasized that trips to europeans say they have a good transformative influence on russian society due to the contact of russians with european democracy against a complete visa ban, and also the head of european diplomacy joseph borel i think we should be more selective we cannot say that we ban all russians on the territory of the eu many people want

rostyslav is certainly the last a question on our inclusion. i had an interesting conversation with public activists, in particular with vitaly shabunin from the hagia zagreb, they reminded us that we already have two months of it, how is there a law that actually allows us to recover the already confiscated russian property in ukraine a-a and in fact, in our country, this property is confiscated, it is actually frozen, but there are not enough court decisions, which in the state would actually transfer it, for this, they say, it is necessary to involve such an institution as an anti-corruption court, but the ministry of justice is somehow in no hurry to file lawsuits regarding this issue. i am now addressing more as a political expert, uh, what do you think is the actual reason for such a delay or maybe even sabotage, look, i am not ready to comment on these conditional political decisions there right now is this certain sabotage because we also need to check this information because there certain statements of individuals are not there er-e t

botnya who got divorced there, let's get rid of them together andriy saichuk and further with us rostyslavrnov, adviser to the minister of internal affairs ukraine to whom we say good morning good morning mr. rostislav please tell me a little bit about the law that the council plans to adopt on the legalization of weapons, what will be allowed by ukrainians and how much has it changed compared to the previous editions, they say that they are quite serious changes, can you tell about that it will be so easy to buy conventionally speaking there, uh, i don't know, an automatic assault rifle is like a loaf of bread, well, let's make it clear, we won't have to understand it for objective reasons. let me say so, we you must understand first of all that i would like to say that everything i will say now is a concept. it can be modified because the last word will be with the legislator, that is, now there is a certain concept of the concept, which, including, let's say, a participant in this discussion, is the ministry of the interior affairs, but the final word is with the committee directly of t

thank you very much, rostyslav. we will keep an eye on how the events will unfold further.s the editor of the ukrainian service of radio svoboda, rostyslav khotyn, live, thirsty . the first shipment of grain after russia's invasion of ukraine arrived in djibouti, a ship on which 23,000 tons of ukrainian wheat was unloaded and delivered to ethiopia the war in ukraine led to shortage of food and contributed to the increase in prices for it in africa, and some african countries were on the verge of starvation in general, the recent agreement between russia and ukraine and with the support of the un allowed more than five dozen ships to deliver supplies from ukraine to different parts of the world, the bbc correspondent is in africa, catherine biryuhanga reports from djibouti this ship arrived from the war-torn south of ukraine, its cargo will be used to help people facing a humanitarian crisis to reach this port on the red sea in djibouti commander emma breiv took two weeks the ship is full of wheat that will feed one and a half million people in ethiopia for a month we will u

do you know his name rostyslav, look no, i don't know, i'll say no, he doesn't have it information, ie that this was largely to be expected, because in fact it was the main complaint against the ex -general general of the head of the security service of ukraine, why he was fired, including the large number of traitors and spies among the top management, this is the first and the second thing, which we should understand, you actually know. for us, this is an opportunity, including such people, to go through the stage of self-purification, because we always had this fifth column, the country was always torn in two. parts and precisely this story helps us once and for all to put an end to these spies in power with all with all the traitors who are, including in the highest political leadership, and i think that this is absolutely not all and that information when the driver. i think that it is only the beginning of the purge of all the spies who are among us there, both among the military leadership and uh, let's tentatively say safe there. that's why history feels like this. i think it

rostyslav mentioned, he mentioned a specific number of criminal proceedings against collaborators. how can you look at the situation without kherson oblast? in order to create some kind of political vertical that could help the occupiers consolidate their power there, and we see that in general there is a rather strong partisan movement and the local population actively opposes the occupiers. so the work on combating collaborators is being carried out. thank you, gentlemen, denis popkovich , the military observer was with us, and rostyslav smirnov, the adviser to the minister of internal affairs, was also with us, and then we have news. anzhelika sezonenko is ready to tell us everything with an analysis, thank you, colleagues, for your word the work is the most contested in sumy oblast, kharkiv oblast and donetsk oblast, among the victims there is also the civilian population in some regions, i will tell you in more detail in a few guest washes, the 166th day of the russian-ukrainian war continues for your attention, the press secretary works in the studio, angelika of the season s

thank you rostyslav khotyn, the journalists of radio svoboda were in touch with us and told us aboute thing, what was agreed upon the head of the ministry of foreign affairs at an informal meeting in prague, right now you have the collaborators project - by yevhen miklushka, see who went to cooperate with the occupiers, see this week's list of collaborators in the program, miklushka's list, higher education in the occupation, how the brothel at the university of zaporizhzhia works, who is the leader russian universities on the capture of the territory are, well, you know, such losers in the scientific world and an academic breakthrough in occupied kherson as a taxi driver became the vice-chancellor of a national university every war gives birth to heroes na the pity of the helpless is also unavoidable. in the project of the collaborators, i am talking about those who not only betrayed their state and people, but began to serve the occupiers, and the service in the ranks of the enemy is different . - they are openly fighting against the ukrainian army, such a list can be continued to

i thank rostislav very much for this information for story a-a rostyslav khotyn - a journalist of radioboda i praga was in touch with us , where there is an informal meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs, and that's how mr. rasla is. see you tomorrow tomorrow, as rostislav said forum 2000 will be held and there should be a video address by the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky. well, today, dmytro kuleba, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, was personally present at this event. well , yesterday, all the various defense commissions joined this conversation online. by the way, rostyslav reminded me of the joint statement minister of the chancellor of the federal republic of germany olef scholze and the president of the french republic in the manner of macron, they made a statement regarding the issuance of visas to russians, this is actually a big discussion because we we understand that many european countries are used to not just trading with russia and buying gas there, selling some luxury items, cars and other things. they are used to these people coming and bringing a

my colleague rostyslav khotin is now in direct contact with us again, rostyslav. good evening.ting was informal. indeed, the ministers agreed to cancel the simplified visa regime between the eu and russia, and although the meeting was informal, this decision is formal, that is, real, and it will be effective already in this simplified visa regime the regime has been in place since 2007, let me remind you that only with the beginning of the war against ukraine, more than 1 million russians entered the schengen zone in the eu, so now the simplified visa regime has been canceled and russians will be forced to submit more documents, wait longer and pay €80 for a visa instead of €35 as was the case before this , multi-year visas for russian citizens are also canceled, this is of course a compromise option because the proposal for a full visa ban for russians did not receive the support of all 27 members of the european union, and i will remind you that this is a consensus the organization against was germany, france, southern europe, hungary, but this does not mean that this visa ba

well, first of all i need to clarify something, and i will start with the fact that i know rostyslav shawarma, i talk to him , and it is absolutely obvious that this is how it turned out. some kind of unbalanced situation because, as far as you know, the head, the current head of the committee, and in general the committee, which mainly supports his decision, took a more fiscal position which led to the fact that a number of citizens and businesses are dissatisfied with what is happening in the country and they have not received what they expected from this new government , which promised a lot in the pre-election period time regarding today's day and proposal 10-10 well, unfortunately, i don't think it was necessary to declare it. if an understanding was not found between the president's office and the party, today the head of the party, the servant of the people shulyak, also made a statement regarding this reform, and even more so the minister of the executive branch of the ministry finances of the prime minister and others because we have the most painful perception of the desire

rostyslav, tax reform is just a beautiful informational the reason is that it is really preparing to be submitted to the parliament again and again, so far it is only some pr stuff, again the most powerful corridors say that no one has seen any calculations, maybe it is is preparing for some bright presentation in the fall , they say, there will be a political month or a quarter, or it will be a beautiful initiative, but it looks a bit detached from reality. and what exactly the verkhovna rada will consider is also not yet clear, and the conciliation council will sit down but , according to my information, there is no preliminary agenda yet, so i think that sometime tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, we will be able to talk about it more concretely . this voice was with us in direct communication with espresso. well, the last information before passing the floor to novy on the news is ms. irina koval from the zaporizhia npp as of 9:00 09:00 today, august 26, all power units of the zaporizhia npp are disconnected from of the power grid, the station's own needs for electricity consumpti

thank you, and right now , rostyslav pavlenko is joining us. deputy of ukraine, ex-director of the national institute of strategic studies in 18-19, congratulations, mr. rostislav, good evening, let's continue this topic with the pope, because we've been waiting all the time, let's say the same moral thing, so that the pope will come to ukraine, now they say that he should go to kazakhstan and meet with kazakhstan ok , but there is a meeting with the patriarch of moscow. i generally hoped that this meeting would not take place in principle, but it is actually being prepared for meetings on september 13, if i am not mistaken, why are you do you understand the pope's logic? and what's more, he says that he can then go to ukraine. maybe there, if this visit is agreed upon, and then the story is really quite strange, the contexts are that he first wants to agree on something with the moscow patriarch and then discuss something here in it seems that today a statement was made to ukraine in which he supports this initiative to export grain from ukraine and sets an example because they say that it

rostyslav hoten, a journalist of radio svoboda rostislavy, congratulations.nk you for including us. well, tell us more about today. what have they decided or not? well, they still decide on the minister of foreign affairs at their informal but very important meeting here in prague. e-e visa sanctions against citizens of the russian federation so far, as we predicted, there will be no decision on a complete ban e-e for travel to other zones for citizens of russia despite the fact that ukraine she insisted on this, believing that it would somehow help to stop or influence the russian leadership, when the russians are not going to stop their war against ukraine, as i will remind, the baltic states and the scandinavian countries also insisted on this the netherlands, but so far there is no consensus on a complete ban, so today it is expected. what will happen? maybe we will keep an eye on you. the procedure provided for cheaper visas, a shorter term, fewer documents, it was introduced in 2007 , it has been in effect for 15 years, russians received visas to europe

thank you for this comprehensive information, rostyslav smirnov, adviser to the minister of internal of ukraine , joined us, you too, no matter what ukrainians think about, no matter what they talk about, the first place still comes out war, war, and our victory for seven days for a week from monday, monday, seven different spheres of human activity - sports, culture, politics, writers of express, journalists, experts, opinion leaders in real time about the most relevant events through the prism of war, every day, author's projects, most expresso, i closed all cases at work on the 25th, i left , and on the 26th, we were already in the brigade when we arrived here right away, well, in the morning we unloaded the tractors and after lunch we already entered the upper battle, one tank had to jump out on two enemy tanks and three enemy tanks. the place where we had to perform the task and when we got there we noticed that there were two rolling on the field , well, this tank side is tied when two enemy tanks and we are in the middle of the field and between us we are landing and we are ta

payment of the national debt have been resolved and with the help of our international partners, rostyslav shurman also says on the situation, the situation on the financial market will also be balanced by the unblocked supply of grain will improve the situation and the introduction of a ten percent tax on currency transactions because because of the new levy, the speculative demand for dollars will disappear, believes rostislav shurman, this initiative is really on the ears of the expert community, the so-called tax on valya hmm, experts note that its introduction will lead to an increase in prices. well, really, this tax for importers on the purchase of foreign currency is not a simple and difficult decision for the ministry of finance are not yet ready to say that this idea is ready for implementation, the head of the ministry of finance , serhii marchenko, said in an interview with the rbc-ukraine agency that the model is still being discussed. certain risks - risks are noted by the government official, at the same time it is necessary to return to the pre-war level some of the previou

and non-factions who used to be able to express their opinion even on the channel, i am at least rostyslavthat is, they have been completely removed from these channels. there are firtash and kolomoiskyi, well, they can dispose of their assets for sure in their own way, but for me it is simply a strange fact that if you call h7 by names and this is not military censorship, it is a part of this whole system of censorship censorship politically exists, there is a public broadcaster, er, public nouns are actually supported from the state budget of the state budget. well, the main thing is that a public broadcaster is a guarantor of the fact that freedom of speech exists in ukraine, and this moment worries me a lot. maybe, well, i too it seems that this is a huge problem that should have been paid attention to. well, in my humble opinion, as well as a former employee of a public broadcaster, who contributed a little to these reforms with his modesty , a modest contribution of his time. well, i don't know. that's right. it’s probably just a comment. i’ll also ask you, then, if you’ll allow it,

rostyslav, what are the plans in the lviv region regarding the educational process, which should beginnt that what happened yesterday lviv oblast is preparing for the educational process, this is a set of measures being implemented, primarily for the preparation of educational institutions in terms of providing minimum e-e protective structures and shelters for safety students students, now for everything for us, in addition, relevant trainings, situational trainings and trainings are conducted with the departments of education and teachers so that we clearly develop an algorithm for all subjects of the educational process, including the emergency service in the event of an e-e air alarm, and this algorithm must be worked out by mechanics - to automatism , that is, the process will be offline, planned educational, or by choice, there will still be an option, i apologize, i can’t hear well, i did n’t hear the question. we are preparing for the educational process in the offline mode, but we clearly understand that the mode of the educational process will depend on the security situation

and the ukrainian diaspora was with us now from canada we will move to the czech republic where rostyslavhotyn, a journalist of radio svoboda, is in prague for the second day of the informal meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs and defense of the european union and we'll ask him what they talked about the car today well, today it's like that they're getting together and they're already starting their meeting with the minister of foreign affairs and the minister of defense on the contrary are concluding their two-day meeting, the main points for the ministers of defense and foreign affairs together, it is possible a training mission of the european union for ukraine against the background of the war, because the european union wants to help ukraine, how about this in european diplomacy , jose borel says that some kind of mission is needed for ukraine, even more that ukraine itself aspires to the european union and is fighting now not only for itself for europe, also the second point is that visa restrictions are discussed, but so far there is no consensus , that is, that ukraine wan

news , just new circumstances arise, it is about the shelling of mykolaiv, it is good, but just rostyslavthe minister of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleba is currently in sweden on a visit and he is, as they say, returning from sweden with empty hands. the swedish authorities allocate 100 million us dollars for ukraine as part of military aid, this is very important. tomorrow dmytro koroleva is to take part in an informal meeting of eu ministers in prague in the czech republic well, now there is more information on e.e. mykolaiv there today the enemy made hell, he fired rockets into the center of the city, random passers-by and random people died - this was possible revenge for the cherso because an attempt, you know from the fury that they cannot stop the ukrainian army, they hit civilians, and in particular , the premises in the city of mykolaiv, here we have the following consequences, the head of the mykolaiv regional military administration, vitaliy, who reported on the 24 casualties as a result of the rocket attack on the city by the russian occupiers, he wrote in a telegram

rostyslav received a mine ear injury during the liberation of kyiv oblast.was treated for a long time in capital hospitals. later, the husband was sent to lviv oblast for more than two months. the soldier underwent a course of treatment in orthopedics, but there was a need to go abroad. i had the opportunity to go to germany. i left. it was the city of lutenschein. there, i had an operation. something went wrong and blood infection. they they sorted it out, removed the rod, installed a gas station, treated me. i was there for two months and 10 days. they dug out and said that the bacteria were killed. after the second operation, the man returned to lviv oblast and continued rehabilitation. he says that the conditions in ukraine are no worse than abroad, and in some places even better , especially regarding the treatment of patients. but the idea of ​​patriotic murals, especially military slogans, is ambiguous. my opinion: i think it is not very good to be a soldier in the hospital and look at the war. i think it would be better to do something that, on the c

thank you rostyslav smirnov, advisor to the minister of internal affairs of ukraine, political expert, co-founder of the dobrobaty project, he was in touch with us . now we will add it to the broadcast vitaly bakumenka of the expresso correspondent to italy, we are glad to welcome you glory to ukraine, it looks like druzhkivka slovyansk is in contact with us, donetsk direction, what is the situation there, well, in druzhkivka, the peace is calmer, because it is far from the front line, but of course not far from the girlfriend, everything is the same missile strikes often arrive. there were strikes here. there were also air strikes here. in general, in the direction of kramatorsk, there are hostilities, of course, under the guidance of the general staff of jet fighters from aircraft, and strikes were also recorded in the direction of bakhmut. quite fierce fighting is going on, and they are generally fighting there. of all that is on fire, there is some kind of mortar. by the way, we were there yesterday afternoon. we stopped by and wanted to work and take pictures, but the situation i

the reason for such a conversation was given to us by the deputy head of the president's office, rostyslavturma, in an interview in forbes ukraine. announced the adoption of a new tax model called 10-10 10% income tax 10% is personal income tax and 10% is vat at the same time he said that then let's cancel all other benefits and tighten traffic control of funds we will see all transfers to bank accounts, i.e. less taxes, more control, what do you think about this idea? i think i am jealous somewhere. and we will be happy and here suddenly he has competitors who are now on television, we tell how they will be great when we simply cancel the de- facto on log-taxes, we will live happily, and we have a uh right in front of our eyes right now a vivid example women, they did that, got defoe. that's how it works, why immediately repeat a stupid example. it's hard for me to say, it's really, really strange. especially since we have international obligations, we are going to europe, there are also directives in europe that limit... the marginal level of taxes in the countries well, if this were not
