00:05:42Europe, Poland, Ukraine found themselves at the center of geopolitical
00:05:46challenges. The Kremlin attacks Ukraine with drones and missiles,
00:05:49tanks, in Europe, with fakes and subversions, to sow fear and
00:05:53divide Europeans. This can be called a decisive moment in our
00:05:56common history, how we will react to it, how we will
00:06:00comprehend it, depends on our victory, our development, our
00:06:03survival. And today, Ukraine is the center of
00:06:06Europe, and together with our partners, among whom Poland plays a key
00:06:10role, we will contain the Kremlin.
00:06:13We must say no to dictatorship, violence,
00:06:16authoritarianism. Watch the program "Center of Europe"
00:06:19every Friday at 13:10 on
00:06:21Espresso.
00:06:29On the line of contact and in the enemy's rear.
00:06:32The enemy will not understand where death came from.
00:06:36Special Operations Forces always beyond
00:06:39the limit.
00:06:49Well, we are back, and I will, you know, continue
00:06:52the topic of certain election results
00:06:56of 2019, people's
00:06:58deputies whom we elected in 2019, a distant pre-war
00:07:022019, who have already , in principle, for some
00:07:06two and a half years exceeded their
00:07:09powers, decided to go on...
00:07:12vacation for 26 days. Perhaps these are very important
00:07:16vacations, perhaps they will travel around constituencies and meet with
00:07:19voters, perhaps they will work in committees, perhaps they have some other
00:07:23urgent matters, they will be engaged in volunteering, I don't know
00:07:26, whatever, but all this happens against the background of the fact that we have
00:07:30a terrible budget crisis,
00:07:33a cosmic deficit, as Volodymyr
00:07:36Zelensky said, the Minister of Finance warns that
00:07:39budget payments may be disrupted and...
00:07:42Well, it's just such a story, and it's because
00:07:45we disrupted the vote on several
00:07:49reforms that are primarily needed by Ukraine, not Europe, but
00:07:53because of which Europe has now blocked part of this
00:07:56loan of 90 billion, and this is about an amount of approximately
00:08:0027 billion euros,
00:08:03and I look at this situation from different angles, I have
00:08:07such a feeling that we are simply in some, I don't know, surreal
00:08:10play, this is some theater... of the absurd, UNESCO,
00:08:14Beckett, well, I just don't understand how this is fundamentally possible, and
00:08:18and most importantly, what strikes me is some Olympic calm, people
00:08:21don't go out to the streets, on central
00:08:25channels, or whatever it's called, telethon, everything
00:08:27is calm, some good news about our offensives,
00:08:31counter-offensives, President Zelensky
00:08:33smiles, offers a good idea to pay
00:08:37us, for example, in advance from next year's money
00:08:41to Europeans.
00:08:45I don't understand this, well, you perfectly understand that the parliament would hardly
00:08:48go on vacation if there was no understanding between the leadership
00:08:52of the parliament and the leadership of the president's office, right, between the president and
00:08:55the speaker,
00:08:58so, here there is another surreal situation, that the president on the one
00:09:02hand talks about financial problems also
00:09:06and about the fact that the parliament does not adopt European integration
00:09:09laws, and on the other hand.
00:09:13does not influence these vacation decisions, or on the contrary,
00:09:16does influence, because we perfectly
00:09:19understand that neither the ruling
00:09:23majority,
00:09:26nor the speaker of the parliament, nor the head of the Servant of the
00:09:30People faction in the parliament, are subjective from the point of view of their relations
00:09:34with the head of state, we generally say that recently
00:09:38the head of the Servant of the People party faction in
00:09:42the parliament gained huge
00:09:45authority in the president's office,
00:09:48some compare him to the influence of Andriy
00:09:51Yermak, but I don't know how appropriate this comparison is at all, because
00:09:55I always said that in personalistic regimes, and we live in
00:09:58a personalistic regime, the influence of a favorite
00:10:02is determined by the head of the personalistic regime himself, not
00:10:06the favorite,
00:10:09and here I have a quite simple question:
00:10:12Perhaps, on the one hand, there is
00:10:15a desire to get money, on the other hand, there is
00:10:18an unwillingness,
00:10:21and we are living in this situation.
00:10:25Listen, I have repeatedly explained that all the laws that
00:10:28Europeans demand from us contradict the logic
00:10:31of the personalistic post-Soviet regime, which has been built
00:10:35since 2019
00:10:36in our country,
00:10:40because both the head of state and the people associated with him
00:10:43have an absolutely Soviet view of power, these are
00:10:47Soviet people, it is very strange that they turned out to be
00:10:50so Soviet at such an age, but on the other
00:10:54hand, they... grew up when this Soviet
00:10:58legacy in a large part of Ukraine, in a large part
00:11:02of families, was not overcome, they were raised as Soviet
00:11:05people, with Soviet ideas about what
00:11:08power is and what control is,
00:11:11so it's not surprising that Volodymyr Zelensky has approximately the same
00:11:14idea of power as Leonid Kuchma,
00:11:17say, because these are actually people of the same, I would say,
00:11:20stratum,
00:11:23Kuchma just lived in the Soviet Union,
00:11:27environment,
00:11:31and he will not be different, because what
00:11:34is given to you, what is laid down in you during your upbringing, you will not be
00:11:38able to change,
00:11:42you see people who at 20-30 years
00:11:45old move to Western countries, yes, they
00:11:49came from the Soviet Union, here's a good
00:11:51example, to the United States.
00:11:57to European countries, to
00:12:00Israel,
00:12:03and look what happened to many of them there, not all of them, but
00:12:06many of them, they remained absolutely Soviet
00:12:10people, with a Soviet attitude to life, for example, Brighton Beach, mm-hmm,
00:12:13their whole idea of the West was a larger quantity of sausage, freedom,
00:12:17money, freedom, I would even say , conditionally speaking, no
00:12:20persecution,
00:12:24no persecution. Perhaps, it's not even freedom,
00:12:27mm-hmm, these people, even
00:12:30after decades in Western societies, consider
00:12:34the values of these Western societies to be somehow
00:12:36wacky,
00:12:40not that they don't want to integrate, not because they can't, but because they don't want to, because
00:12:44they think it's impossible to integrate into such a thing, well,
00:12:47this is, by the way, what happens to people who live, conditionally speaking, this often
00:12:51happens with families from Manhattan, very often it happens with Islamic
00:12:55families who move, for example, to European societies or
00:12:59American societies, and of course, well, listen, families from Islamic countries
00:13:02at least have an excuse, they have faith, but these people don't believe
00:13:06in anything except 200 grams of Dutch cheese and
00:13:10300 grams of Odesa sausage, that's the
00:13:13point, it seemed they should have been more flexible, but no, this
00:13:17sausage suits them perfectly as the meaning of life,
00:13:20it can just be this sausage, that sausage, or it can be a billion
00:13:23dollars, it... it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect a person
00:13:26in any way,
00:13:30well, the same thing, of course, happens with people who remain at home with their
00:13:34Soviet upbringing, but get incredible opportunities
00:13:38to realize their principles when
00:13:41they come to power, what do you expect from them? Uh-huh,
00:13:44well, no one ever denied that their rules
00:13:48of life are correct, moreover, for these rules of life, the vast majority
00:13:50of all compatriots entrusted them with positions, so
00:13:54why should they think that they are mistaken in something,
00:13:58of course, especially for a person who has never been involved
00:14:02in politics, being elected head of state, a multi-million
00:14:05one, is a displacement into a non-existent world,
00:14:08in which this person will be isolated from reality until the last
00:14:12day of their powers, and it is unknown whether they will get out of this non-existent
00:14:16world after their presidency ends,
00:14:19президентства,
00:14:21that's all, that's why I always say: I would like
00:14:25to see the parliament being a subject, the parliament is not
00:14:28a subject,
00:14:30you should be asking yourselves why people don't
00:14:34take to the streets, and what is happening with the deputies themselves,
00:14:37mm-hmm, they know that Ukraine
00:14:40is threatened to fall into
00:14:44an economic abyss, they can realize that the people in
00:14:47the residence of the President of Ukraine are incompetent in solving
00:14:50the problems of the state's survival, they are citizens of this
00:14:53state. They should think about what will happen to them
00:14:56themselves,
00:14:59if the state ceases
00:15:01to exist,
00:15:05do they think that Putin will gather them for a session of the Verkhovna Rada, or did they
00:15:08solemnly adopt an act on the transformation of Ukraine into the Ukrainian
00:15:12ASSR, as part of the Russian Federation, and
00:15:15will Putin need them, this is not a legitimate parliament, the legitimate one
00:15:18was destroyed in 2014
00:15:21by the uprising of nationalists, we know who is legitimate here.
00:15:25Derkach Zaliynikov, so let them not hope,
00:15:29they will be hanged by their arms and legs on
00:15:31Khreshchatyk.
00:15:37This somehow doesn't concern them at all, that's strange,
00:15:40them themselves, we're not talking about people, people may not
00:15:44understand something, of course, the vast majority of Ukrainian voters
00:15:47still don't understand where they are and the extent of the outcry, they don't understand,
00:15:51but they are not obliged to, a person generally, of course, solves
00:15:55their own tasks, they work, they defend the country, they pay
00:15:58taxes, they elect these deputies so that they understand this, not so that
00:16:02she sits every day in front of the TV or
00:16:05this.
00:16:08computer and thought about how to save
00:16:09the country, she does everything possible or does not
00:16:13do, as a citizen,
00:16:17and the deputies, ministers,
00:16:19president should manage, if there is a problem of financial
00:16:22catastrophe, they should solve it, and not rest from their
00:16:25work,
00:16:28that's all, and therefore there is indeed a serious question with this subjectivity
00:16:32of these deputies,
00:16:34it was not people who should have gathered
00:16:38in the streets, logically, and asked where the parliament was, it was parliamentarians who should have
00:16:42gathered in front of
00:16:45the closed parliament, mm-hmm, and asked
00:16:49the speaker why it was closed, and if the speaker cannot give such an answer
00:16:52or informs them that some official from the office decided so to re-elect
00:16:56this speaker and finally elect as head of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine a person who can
00:17:00actually restore the parliament's subjectivity, who will not go
00:17:03to the president's office and talk
00:17:06with... officials about how the parliament should work, who will remember that this is
00:17:10a parliamentary-presidential republic, in which the powers of the head of state are significantly
00:17:14limited.
00:17:17Well, we currently have, of course, this
00:17:21martial law, which greatly increases the powers of
00:17:24the president. For example, the president this week
00:17:27appointed Anton Kovalsky, who
00:17:30was, I believe, in
00:17:33Khmelnytskyi or Vinnytsia region, as acting
00:17:37prosecutor general, and I specifically checked, and the law,
00:17:40the provisions of the law on martial law, allow
00:17:43the president in emergency situations to simply appoint by his decree
00:17:46anyone who has a legal education, or who meets
00:17:50professional requirements, as temporary acting prosecutor general, but this is a very important
00:17:54appointment, everyone
00:17:57was waiting for it, because it was supposed to be a signal
00:18:01of how the president would actually get out of this situation of the Carthage
00:18:05or Carthaginian scandal, when... it turned out that the entire
00:18:08top leadership was corrupt, not corrupt, that's not the word, rather
00:18:12connected with crime, which is
00:18:15organized, with organized crime, the top leadership
00:18:18of the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine is not just connected with organized crime,
00:18:22it is organized crime, judging by everything, and
00:18:26it is, this organized crime is connected
00:18:28with it,
00:18:30and here it was very important how Zelensky would act, many
00:18:34hoped that he would appoint this competition, there was a bill...
00:18:37it was already ready to be voted on for
00:18:41this competition, an independent selection, it would have been a very good
00:18:44signal for Western partners for
00:18:46society, I don't
00:18:48know,
00:18:51I think Zelensky generally believes that what he told the Prosecutor General
00:18:55to resign and did not support him when the Prosecutor General made
00:18:59accusations against the leadership of NABU, this is already
00:19:02a huge success from the point
00:19:05of view of his dialogue with... society,
00:19:08you see, and the fact that he has to consult about candidates
00:19:11with society, it seems to me,
00:19:14in the president's understanding of how he should behave in critical
00:19:18situations,
00:19:20that's the problem, so you, again, impose
00:19:24your ideas on the president about how power should function, and the president
00:19:27believes, and a huge number of people believe who support
00:19:31the president, that power should be concentrated in one hand, especially
00:19:34during martial law, and not invent all these... competitions, all these conversations, because
00:19:38he knows better, and if
00:19:41he doesn't know better, he still has to work with this prosecutor, and this is a critical
00:19:44situation, so let him do what is necessary, and if
00:19:48last time it was wrong, well, a mistake, we'll fix it, and
00:19:51last time it wasn't even, even more wrong, well, a mistake
00:19:54he doesn't learn, and he doesn't learn, and is there
00:19:58some critical number, well, that is of mistakes, well, there, that are permissible, well,
00:20:01there, well, two or three mistakes, I remember too, I don't know, the coach of the French
00:20:05national team, when they... won then, I don't remember in what year, in
00:20:0998, and he said:
00:20:12our, our, our advantage is that we always have the right to make a mistake
00:20:16in the team, well, okay, but how many times can the president of a warring
00:20:20state make a mistake? As many as he wants, because
00:20:24if I voted for this president, it will be very difficult for me
00:20:27to tell myself that I made a mistake, mm-hmm, people
00:20:30who tell themselves that I made
00:20:33a mistake,
00:20:37as a rule, are not the
00:20:39majority among the electorate,
00:20:41so a person who has already voted for something, and then got such
00:20:45a result, will never admit their own mistakes, there are some
00:20:48people who say, well... who at most can say, we didn't vote
00:20:52for Zelensky, but we voted against Poroshenko, remember
00:20:56that idea, well, there may be more
00:20:59such people, maybe they voted against the war, many
00:21:03people, so no, people will never say that, they don't say that they voted against
00:21:06the war, how will they say that they voted against
00:21:10the war, and why did the war happen then, well, they are not
00:21:14to blame Zelensky, no,
00:21:18and now they, these people are now accusing Zelensky of exactly
00:21:22the same thing they accused Poroshenko of, that he profits from the war and does not
00:21:25want the war to end. No, these are exactly such people, they exist, they are not the majority
00:21:29just. These are exactly such people. These are, these
00:21:33are people who, by the way,
00:21:35again, we don't know how many of them were in this Zelensky electorate, but they voted not for
00:21:39Zelensky, but for Putin. And it's very easy to calculate.
00:21:43These are the very people who say that Zelensky now does not want to stop
00:21:46the war. These are exactly these people. And their
00:21:50children, don't forget that this is already happening, new
00:21:54people are already appearing who did not take part in the voting in 2019,
00:21:57who believe that the war is happening because
00:22:01the Ukrainian authorities do not want to negotiate peace, Poroshenko did not
00:22:05want to negotiate, mm-hmm, they elected
00:22:08Zelensky to negotiate, and Zelensky deceived them, instead of
00:22:12negotiating peace with Putin, he profits from
00:22:15the war, and these people will never believe that
00:22:19Zelensky's desire... to continue or end the war, nothing
00:22:22changes, because even if Zelensky says today that
00:22:25he is ready to end the war,
00:22:29even if Zelensky says that he gives Putin the territories of Donetsk and Luhansk
00:22:32regions, the war will not only not end, but will intensify with
00:22:35new force, because the Russians will have more
00:22:39opportunities to launch missiles and drones from a shorter distance, there will be
00:22:42more opportunities to use ballistic missiles, there will be
00:22:45more opportunities to advance, and Russian...
00:22:49cold-bloodedness will come to their own home, they will be shot,
00:22:50they will be buried in
00:22:53some mass
00:22:56grave like the one in Bucha, they will never believe this until
00:23:00they find themselves in this mass
00:23:02grave, but such people are not
00:23:05the majority,
00:23:08but the majority of people who believe that they voted correctly and that Zelensky is doing
00:23:12everything correctly, and they don't bother with some
00:23:16attorney generals, will tell you: these are simply people who
00:23:19betrayed the president and the country,
00:23:22the president gave them such trust, such trust, and how did
00:23:26they treat it,
00:23:28well, don't forget that most of these people lack causal
00:23:32connections, well, okay, and any politician can use this, well,
00:23:36but if tomorrow, if it happens,
00:23:39tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, really, for example, delays in
00:23:42budget payments or pensions begin, this depends
00:23:46entirely now on Western support, will these people then
00:23:50make some causal connections after all, well,
00:23:53such very, I don't know, I don't know, maybe
00:23:56there will be no delays at all, maybe money printing will start, inflation
00:24:00will start, it could be that, and these people will simply
00:24:03notice that prices have increased, well, war, what's wrong, the president
00:24:07just said that there is not even enough money for construction, for
00:24:10drone production, well, that is, it's
00:24:14just I don't know, well, there should be some
00:24:17reaction, you are the supreme commander-in-chief, okay. And you say: well, the deputies
00:24:21didn't vote, now we don't have enough money for drone
00:24:25production, at the same time showing a video of us launching drones that are allegedly
00:24:28intercepting Russian jet drones, and
00:24:32then the deputies went on vacation, I still can't
00:24:36put it all together, it's difficult for me, I look at what
00:24:39kind of, this is just the same lack of causal
00:24:43connection, but if
00:24:46we need to scale up drone production.
00:24:50And we don't have money for drones, how do we scale it up, probably we need to
00:24:54adopt some laws that will unfreeze the provision of
00:24:57money to us, but we cannot adopt these laws, because this will limit our power, how
00:25:00to do it, no way, we will sit and wait, it will limit our
00:25:04power, yes, because I just look at what law, and our power is more important than your
00:25:07drones,
00:25:10that's all, okay, this is a rather sad explanation, a sad
00:25:14explanation, we still have the same Verkhovna Rada, which exists, I
00:25:17understand that there are people... in the country, well, for example, journalists,
00:25:21especially investigators who are involved in this, and from time to time
00:25:25they gather somewhere together, for example, this is not the first time
00:25:28they gather around a round table, journalists
00:25:31of Ukrainian Pravda, Inna Vedernikova, editor
00:25:35of this, from Dzerkalo Tyzhnia, and they again
00:25:39bring up the topic of elections, and I, I see more and more often, they
00:25:42write that we understand that elections are impossible, but
00:25:46the situation is impossible, because management is generally degrading
00:25:50in a warring country, and we need to find a way out, maybe elections are not
00:25:54such a bad result, maybe we can find some
00:25:57safeguards, bypass some security issues, and
00:26:01President Zelensky, by the way, who has not held a briefing for a year and a half,
00:26:04for Ukrainian journalists for a year and a half, for a year and a half, I was watching the idiocy that Trump
00:26:07said again at the next briefing, and again
00:26:11forbids CNN and someone else from attending those briefings,
00:26:15but at the same time he holds those briefings almost every day, and we have
00:26:18a year and a half, and at the same time,
00:26:21yes, he gives an interview on
00:26:25CBS and there the journalist asks him about the elections, and he says: "tomorrow,
00:26:28it's just that by law it's not possible... maybe how to solve security problems,
00:26:32but I always think, is the question about security problems, or
00:26:35is the question, why are you generally sure that as a result of the elections someone will come, well, I don't know,
00:26:39more competent, better, not so
00:26:43corrupt,
00:26:44even if, by the way, a good
00:26:47question, first of all, what elections, presidential or
00:26:50parliamentary, should be, should have been
00:26:53parliamentary, but they say that they are simply impossible, and presidential elections are easier to organize,
00:26:56well, okay, so let's imagine that some president,
00:27:00we don't know who it will be, let's imagine
00:27:04that under martial law it could be Zelensky again, and he will work with
00:27:08the same parliament, and what will we get,
00:27:11just imagine, we expect
00:27:14for ratings for five years, mm-hmm,
00:27:18well, you know, actually, Zelensky has such a level of trust, Zaluzhnyi has such
00:27:21a level of trust, Budanov has such a level of trust, Fedorov has such a level of trust,
00:27:25good, but tell me, are you sure that under
00:27:29martial law, if presidential
00:27:32elections are held, all these people will run,
00:27:35or if they run, they will not be
00:27:37accused of betraying
00:27:40the state in a difficult moment, instead of performing their important
00:27:44duties as the head
00:27:47of the office, sent to Great Britain,
00:27:51left public service
00:27:51for the sake of fighting for power,
00:27:55and they will tell you this on TV. How will you turn off the telethon during the presidential elections,
00:27:58and how?
00:28:00Well, what chances does any
00:28:04alternative candidate for president,
00:28:06even with a high
00:28:09rating, have to compete with the incumbent
00:28:12president in the information field, you know?
00:28:16The president will appear every day to talk about interceptor
00:28:20drones,
00:28:22about some
00:28:24thousands. or 500 UAH, we see that even
00:28:27Trump is doing this now, and he promises 500 dollars to everyone,
00:28:30mm-hmm, well, what will
00:28:34the alternative candidates do, if they do anything at all,
00:28:37if there will be
00:28:40any at all? Well, these are the questions, I absolutely
00:28:44assume that elections during martial law are most likely a plebiscite of confidence
00:28:46in the incumbent president.
00:28:50And his, well, I'm not talking about anything else,
00:28:53with all Zaluzhnyi's ratings, what will Zaluzhnyi promise
00:28:57to citizens, more blood, sweat and tears or
00:29:00peace? Blood, sweat and
00:29:03tears, obviously, well, because, and if the commander-in-chief
00:29:07of the armed forces promises peace, how much trust is
00:29:10there in him? Well, yes,
00:29:13how ready will citizens be to vote
00:29:16for this blood and tears? Maybe they will vote
00:29:20for a candidate who will tell them that he will... agree with
00:29:22Putin, just a candidate who is not in the ratings, but
00:29:25who will appear and say, listen, all these
00:29:28people, Zelensky, Zaluzhnyi, Budanov - this is the party
00:29:32of war, they want war, because they profit from it, make a career,
00:29:35they organize sabotage, this is what they can do, and I am a candidate of peace, I will agree
00:29:39with Putin, and by the way, Putin will say, there is one good
00:29:41candidate, maybe we would agree with him,
00:29:45because all
00:29:47those want... war, and we want peace,
00:29:51and in this dictatorship of Zelensky, who does not
00:29:54hold elections, even such an anti-war person cannot win
00:29:58the elections, what a horror?
00:30:01Here are all your elections, well, we
00:30:05and I think that there is no talk about it now, I
00:30:08generally don't understand why we always talk about elections,
00:30:12it seems to me, I know a thousand other ways to change power, if there was a
00:30:15desire in society to change it, well... the shortest and
00:30:18incorrect and most constitutional - is just the subjectivity of parliament, I
00:30:21understand, but, of course, what
00:30:23we are always talking about,
00:30:26look, this week there was an idea to vote
00:30:29for just
00:30:33an appeal to the president, because only
00:30:36the president can appoint those decisions with his decrees, in order to
00:30:40deprive Potap.
00:30:43за всього-навсього звернення до
00:30:46президента, бо тільки президент може призначати
00:30:50ті рішення своїми указами, щоби позбавити
00:30:53потапа.
