Premium sponsor of the National Team represents united by football together stronger good evening, we are from ukraine, we continue, this is a big ter i remind you, my name is vasmayu, we add mykola knyazhytska to our conversation, peoples deputy of ukraine, mr. Mykola. Greetings, greetings, many important topics, but lets start with the local elections in poland, the latest exit poll data, what i watched, that law and justice wins, tell me more, because these are Different Levels of elections, mayors, president , mayors, diet members, to enter, it is for the people to understand what this means first of all for poland itself, and then lets see what it means for ukraine. Well, exzitpol shows data for the whole of poland, although, for example, in the city of warsaw, the mayor won more than 57 of the peoples coalition. And won in the first round, in krakow the mayor, the candidate for law and justice did not even make it to the second round, but in the regions bordering ukraine, in eastern poland, socalled, peace traditionally wins there and they won, there is no big disaster here, so that the party is right and fair, i supported ukraine very actively, after the start of the fullscale invasion, then all these border blockades really started, and that government did nothing, we hoped for a new one, the new one did not do much either, it is very important for us from the point of view of european integration. So that the proeuropean forces win, and the fact that in general the coalition that is currently in the Parliament Won more than 50 of the votes, it is not one party, it is three, the coalition of the obovitelas, the third is droga and the left, so together they won more than 50 , this means , which they essentially confirmed election results, well chaskowski, the mayor of warsaw, now has every chance to run for the president of poland from the obywatelska coalition, you see, tusk, who is the leader of the obywatelska coalition, hoped. That even according to this nationwide exit poll, they will bypass law and justice, but this did not happen, and just as they flirted a lot with all these peasants who blocked the borders, and the election result showed that these flirtations were in vain, this indicates that what is possible now after the local elections ukrainianpolish relations will improve somewhat, and at least the polish authorities will be able to act more decisively against border blockades, for example, against those steps that are behind. A threat to the National Security of ukraine and poland itself, which are blocking ukrainianpolish relations, so i hope that the situation will to develop for the better, well, here regarding the question of the polish border communities, will the victories of one or other forces there affect the influence, perhaps on these blockaders, this is again a hypothetical question, and secondly, i know that in poland the issue of aid to ukrainians will be reviewed in in terms of financial assistance, some other rights and opportunities and security for those ukrainians who remain in poland today in view of the war, and whether the elections will have any effect on this issue, maybe it is up to the communities to decide, well, maybe there is no influence, just for the sake of understanding, no, the local local elections will not affect this, the local elections raised the general temperature in the ward, so to speak, but it is obvious that these are different parties, there will be different coalitions, and everyone has remained in their interests, so somehow the fact that they happened, the fact that they happened democratically is good, and maybe now the situation will be less politicized. Economic relations with ukraine, the most important thing is relations on the border, there are many very painful moments, there are moments when the ukrainian authorities make mistakes, for example, they say that our ministry. Of education turned to the poles so that ukrainians could receive, ukrainian children received education in polish schools, and this is a big problem, because for younger children, its okay, its normal, but teenagers there, for example, very many of them want to return, and it is difficult for them to study in these polish schools, it is simply difficult, if they ended up there at the age of 15 or 16, they study remotely in ukrainian schools, and when they will be driven away, but they were obliged, here there is a problem, because this problem is psychological for them, it is not easy for them, these are people from the affected regions, people. Conditioned, and secondly, it is less likely that they will return, we would like them returned, so i think Distance Learning is not a bad solution for ukrainians in this situation, well, i was once in poland, then i even had the opportunity to talk with ukrainian children, say, there from melitopol, from other such cities that are under occupation, there and in a ukrainian school, well, there are ukrainian school, in krakow, they studied, and there are certain problems, just psychological state, emotional, moral state, well, i understand what could happen, if it was, lets say. Well, but its a long story, there actually there are many problems, and nine years have passed, well, tomorrow will pass as it was the Verkhovna Rada passed a law legalizing the process of decommunization, but today i even found your post on the 15th of that year about the fact that at that time, well, i wont name the name, i dont want to, certain activists, activists, political and urban activists spoke out with a warning that this decommunization can lead to the destruction of cultural. Monuments as a result of the adoption of the law on decommunization, in fact, what time was it, how it was perceived then, how much has changed in these nine years, and are we really already passed this process, or at what stage the process of documenting paradoxes in that it was not a package of laws, the law on opening archives was passed through the committee that i headed, and other committees discussed other laws, but since we had a committee on humanitarian policy, what concerns the memory it also passed through us, and it is still very difficult, my law on humanitarian decolonization has not yet been adopted, and there are many. With this problem, soviet monuments still remain in many regions, in the same poltava, for example, not all have been demolished, wants a part of it, well, you see that people are fighting for the conservatory to bear the name of tchaikovsky, calling him a great ukrainian, although the fact that he had a ukrainian greatgrandfather does not make him a ukrainian, he himself considered himself russian, or the story of bolgakov, when such bolgakov lovers do everything and talk about the fact that he was a great ukrainian, you know, no one forbids reading bulgakov, he was a talented writer, and no one forbids having and reading it, but asserting , that bulgakov was ukrainian, although he himself considered himself a russian and was critical of ukrainians and ukrainian culture, with hatred, one might say, thats why the institute of National Memory essentially called him such a ukrainophobe, but thats what he was, he wasnt any ukrainian, read him, read him, but you dont have to to tell that he is a great ukrainian, but ukrainians have remained in this colonial syndrome, well, we do not say that shlomo. Was a great ukrainian, either roth, or juliusz slovacky, or joseph konrad, a brilliant writer, mariner of polish origin from berdycheva, we are not we say lets fight for konrad, for the fact that he was ukrainian, or no one says, lets fight for edichka limonov, because hes from kharkiv and his last name is savenko, and hes ukrainian, hes our writer. And here we sort of sort like this, this ukrainian, this non ukrainian, a ukrainian is someone who is a part of ukrainian culture. Speaks, communicates, creates in the ukrainian language, this is someone who does not reject, ukrainians are also good and bad, like representatives of all peoples and nations, there is nothing strange here either, so of course, this decolonization has not yet passed the most important thing in peoples minds, well, you see, the strangest thing here, maybe for many is that even such a terrible war, and when russia showed this mysterious soul of its, which in reality is obviously not there, mysterious, and people keep saying, well, let something happen. Is this just colonialism or can it be called Something Else . Postcolonial syndrome, postcolonial syndrome, people, well , the colony, the russians for a reason, now that they are occupying territories, they are destroying ukrainian books, libraries, this is not new, it is important for them to prove that ukrainians do not exist, that there is no such people, that there is no such nation, our task is to preserve ukrainian culture, the ukrainian language, the ukrainian people, this is our key task, this is despite the fact that now i am looking at the statistics, that there has almost been a threefold increase in the sales of ukrainian booksellers, who sell ukrainian literature, not only ukrainian, of course, in translation, and foreign literature, which now has kilometerlong queues for theaters, well, lets say, the franko theater, here in lviv i was in the zankovetska theater, the halls were full, it is important that people come, watch ukrainian, listen to ukrainian, read ukrainian, so i think that this is also a process that will lead to final decommunization, and of course it is important that the enemies remove from the information space, or at least irresponsible people, even if they are not enemies, but without. We are talking about such a platform as telegram, and you started this initiative, this discussion and not about a ban, but about a certain regulation, and already all this time, something is going on, but lets get back to the point, at what stage do you think this discussion is now on the normalization of certain rules for telegram or on a complete ban, and why are you now, after listening to everything that is being said and said, more inclined to ban telegram is it Still Necessary to insist on the responsibility of the telegram channels themselves . Well, first of all, look at the draft law that i initiated, it was signed by the representatives of the ruling party, the chairman of our committee, mykyta poturaev, yaroslav yurchyshyn, head of the committee on media freedom, he is not against. Of any particular network, he is not against telegram, and he is not against telegram channels, he is for the state, he allows the state to check whether through this or another service that provides information, it can be telegram, facebook, tiktok, whoever, who owns it, how it is financed, whether russia influences what is disseminated there, whether through it russia can collect personal data that ukrainians themselves provide there, the ukrainian state has the right to ask all these questions, and they. To answer, and if they do not respond to both telegram and other networks, then it should be forbidden to use it, first of all , to government officials and those who distribute personal data, you go into action, there are a lot of chatbots in action, which on telegram are part of actions, huh, and this is terrible, because if we talk about telegram itself, many publications that it is unprofitable, financed by russians under sanctions, the servers are in russia, those companies that provide communication are in russia, this means that everything that is transmitted there. Russia cannot read, in the end, it is not for nothing that the russian army is allowed to use only madurovs creations, that is vkontakte, telegram, other messengers and Public Access platforms are prohibited in the russian army. By the way, you can search for a lot of services here now, lets say, the documents there are clear, that all are passports, where the documents go on and on and so on, according to the place of registration, even such information is important here, if we talk about the event, what is it now, when will it be the law on mobilization will provide information on the registration of those people who have not been registered so far, and then if lets say a person will have armor in accordance with certain, again, norms of this law, then it will also be due to action, and then this is excellent access to people who can potentially become part of the ukrainian army, or can even join the ranks of the resistance, if there is a war somewhere on a specific site, you already know all the people who are banned, who are not banned, here is his data, here is his, in a word, this is a very big danger, there is another danger, these are the socalled anonymous channels that spread massively false information, the russians started it, these are all the channels. Well , i mean those who pretend to be ukrainian, and were participants there, for example, the massacres in these are generally russian channels, i have in odesa, when there were ukrainian patriots, yes, representatives of the antimaidan, and it was all overseen by the general staff of the russian the federation, the sbu officially told about this, and they spread the telegram with their rumors, then the ukrainian creators of the telegram came and the president s office is very actively using it. Telegrams for his propaganda, and after him, when it is used by the office in the shadows, not directly, local administrations, their managers, banks, state authorities went there, and telegram in ukraine is already used by almost 80 of ukrainians, in russia 48, you see, it is the most Popular Network in ukraine, which does not have any data that it is not controlled in russia, and the state must check, if it is not controlled, there are no questions, but if it is controlled, then it is a danger when general bohdanov. Says that it is a danger, and other highranking Officials Say that it is a danger, then it means so there is, and the state must have tools in which way to control it, thats what my law is about, and without disclosing secret data, but i know that in the military there are already times when people are simply ordered to leave telegram altogether, well, of course, thats why that when the ukrainians were captured, they were shown their correspondence from an old telegram there, which was completely downloaded to the russians, such a danger exists very seriously. Well, like at one time in the states, when facebook was suspected that they could join those or that or that or otherwise, to influence the elections, well, zuckerberg then spoke on many questions, so i lead to the fact that it is being checked, that is, you cant do Something Like that, i didnt do it, no, you need to translate, you see, such networks as facebook and or youtube, for example , they still have selfregulation mechanisms, many people complain about them, but if they see that you are inciting interethnic enmity or insulting someone, they can block your post or your account, you can complain that one or the other. Post or account or video of you offends, in such networks as telegram, you cant do this, no one will answer you, there is nowhere to complain, well, you and i will be very brief at the end, but still a question, because we see again cases of calling somewhere or the workers of the Russian Orthodox church in ukraine somehow act against the interests of ukraine or harm the interests of ukraine, and this continues, unfortunately, and can we say that the process of it being banned completely, the church which. Moscow floats, may i bet . At least in some perspective, well, we have prepared the bill for the second reading by the committee, we are waiting for it to be brought to the floor, we do not ban any ukrainian church, we ban the Russian Orthodox church. Church, and ukrainian churches, if they do not have any connection with them, please, they can work, but it is necessary to prove that there is no such connection, and they are in no hurry to do it, but there is certainly a problem here, well, yes , thank you very much for your work, first of all, thank you for coming and commenting, Mykola Knyazhytskyi was with us, peoples deputy of ukraine, well, next i will ask a question to serhii rudenko, he will start at 20 with the verdict program, serhii, good evening, what will be discussed today, please, congratulations to vasyl, today we will talk about insane losses. Russians in donbas and the occupiers are rushing to the west of avdiyivka, will the enemy be able to intensify the offensive even more at the end of spring, as president zelenskyi says, we will talk about this with our experts in our first studio, which will start at 20 00, dmytro snigerev, military expert, peoples mp of ukraine Oleksiy Honcharenko and public figure of poland myroslav cech will be there. Guests of our first studio, we will talk not only about the possible attack of the russians in the spring or at the end of spring and at the beginning of summer, but also about the shelling and the prospects of how ukraine will cope with the destroyed infrastructure, Energy Infrastructure, i hope that Oleksiy Kucherenko will tell us in detail how and in what way ukraine will be able to restore. Their capacities, as the russian occupiers over the past few months have quite are actively attacking the Energy Infrastructure of ukraine. Ukrenergovory says that we should create hundreds of small mini power plants that will generate electricity in order to avoid a complete blackout, because a total blackout, because that is exactly what they are striving for. Russians, will it be possible to restore the Ukrainian Energy system by next winter . I hope that Oleksiy Kucherenko will be able to predict for us quite accurately. Well , local elections were held in poland yesterday, will the opposition parties get the most seats in the authorities, or it will help solve the problem of blocking the Ukrainian Border, and most importantly, how it will affect ukrainianpolish relations. Especially in the context of ukraines next move to the European Union and the negotiations, major negotiations that should begin very soon with the c
