00:00:00doesn't learn, but there is some critical number, well, meaning mistakes, well, there, that are acceptable, well,
00:00:04there, well, two or three mistakes, I also remember, I don't know,
00:00:08the coach of the French national team, when they won, then, I don't remember which year, in
00:00:11'98, he said:
00:00:14our, our our advantage is that we
00:00:18always have the right to make mistakes in the team, well, okay, but
00:00:20how many times can the president of a warring
00:00:24state make a mistake, as many as he wants, because
00:00:26if I voted for this president, then I will... it will be very hard to
00:00:30tell myself that I made a mistake, mhm,
00:00:34people who tell themselves I made
00:00:36a mistake,
00:00:40as a rule, among the electorate, it's not
00:00:42the majority,
00:00:44so a person who has already voted for something, and then got such
00:00:47a result, they will never admit their own mistakes, there
00:00:51are some people who say, well, the maximum they can say is that we didn't vote
00:00:55for Zelenskyy, but we voted against Poroshenko, remember
00:00:58that idea? Well, yes, there may
00:01:02be more such people, maybe many more people voted against the war,
00:01:05no, people will never say that, they don't say that they voted against
00:01:09the war, how will they say that they voted against
00:01:13the war, and why then did the war happen, well, they are patriots, then
00:01:17Zelenskyy is to blame, no,
00:01:21and they are now, you are exactly those people who are now blaming Zelenskyy
00:01:25for what they blamed Poroshenko for, that he is profiting from the war and
00:01:28does not want the war to end. No, these are precisely such people, they exist, they are the majority,
00:01:32simply, these are exactly such people, these
00:01:36are, these are people who, by the way,
00:01:38again, we don't know how many of them were in this Zelenskyy electorate, but they voted not
00:01:42for Zelenskyy, but for Putin, and it's very easy to calculate,
00:01:46these are precisely those people who say that Zelenskyy no longer wants to stop
00:01:49the war, these are precisely those people, and their
00:01:53children, don't forget that this is already happening, new
00:01:56people are appearing who did not take part in the voting in 2019.
00:02:00year, who believe that the war is happening because
00:02:04the Ukrainian government does not want to agree on peace, Poroshenko did not
00:02:07want to agree, mhm, they chose
00:02:11Zelenskyy to agree, and Zelenskyy deceived them, instead
00:02:14of agreeing on peace with Putin, he profits from
00:02:17the war,
00:02:20and these people will never believe that Zelenskyy's desire to continue or
00:02:23end the war changes nothing, because
00:02:26even if Zelenskyy says today that he is ready to end the war.
00:02:31well, even if Zelenskyy says that he is giving the territories of Donetsk,
00:02:35Luhansk regions to Putin, the war will not only not end, but will intensify with new
00:02:39force, because Russians will have more opportunities to
00:02:42hit with missiles and drones from a greater, smaller distance,
00:02:46there will be more opportunities to reach with ballistic missiles, there will be
00:02:49more opportunities to attack, and a Russian soldier will come to their
00:02:53own home, who will coldly shoot them,
00:02:57and put them in some mass grave like
00:03:01the one in Bucha, they will never believe this until they find themselves in that mass
00:03:04grave, but such people are not
00:03:08the majority,
00:03:11but the majority of people who believe that they voted correctly and that Zelenskyy is doing
00:03:15everything correctly, and they don't bother with some
00:03:19Attorney Generals,
00:03:22will tell you that these are simply people who betrayed the president and the country, the president
00:03:25gave them such trust, such trust, and how did they
00:03:29handle it?
00:03:31Well, don't forget that most such people lack cause-and-effect
00:03:35relationships, well, good, and any politician can use this, well, but
00:03:39if tomorrow, if it happens,
00:03:42tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, for example, delays in
00:03:45budget payments or pensions begin, this completely
00:03:49depends now on Western support, will these people then
00:03:53finally establish some cause-and-effect relationships, well,
00:03:56such very, I don't know, I don't know,
00:03:59maybe... delays will not begin at all, maybe money printing will begin,
00:04:02inflation will begin, it could also be, and these people will simply
00:04:06notice that prices have increased, well, war, what can you do, the president
00:04:09simply said that there isn't even enough money for construction, for
00:04:13drone production, well, that is, it's
00:04:16just, I don't know, well, there should be some reaction,
00:04:20you are the supreme commander-in-chief, good, and you say, well, the deputies did not
00:04:24vote, we now don't have enough money for drone
00:04:27production, and at the same time you show how we launch drones that
00:04:31are supposedly intercepting Russian jet drones,
00:04:35and then the deputies went on vacation, I just still can't
00:04:39put all this together, it's hard for me, I look at what kind of
00:04:42what kind of, that same just absence of cause-and-effect
00:04:46connection, and if we need to
00:04:49scale up drone production,
00:04:53and we don't have money for drones, then how do we scale it up, probably we need to
00:04:57adopt some laws that will unfreeze the provision to us.
00:05:18we still have the Verkhovna Rada, which exists, I understand
00:05:21that there are people in the country, well, for example, journalists,
00:05:24especially investigators, who are engaged in this, and so from
00:05:28time to time they gather somewhere together, well, for example, it's not the first time that
00:05:31journalists of Ukrayinska Pravda and Inna
00:05:34Vedernikova, editor of
00:05:38Zerkalo Tyzhnia, are gathering around a round table,
00:05:40and they are raising the topic of elections again, and I see
00:05:44more and more often they write that we understand that elections are seemingly
00:05:48impossible, but the situation is also impossible, because
00:05:51the management of a country at war is degrading, and we need to find
00:05:55a way out, maybe elections are not such a bad result, maybe we can
00:05:59find some safeguards,
00:06:02bypass some security issues, and President Zelenskyy, by the way, who
00:06:05for a year and a half, a year and a half did not hold a briefing
00:06:09for Ukrainian journalists, a year and a half, I was watching what
00:06:12Trump was telling us at the regular briefing, and again
00:06:15he bans CNN and some others from attending those briefings,
00:06:19but at the same time he holds those briefings almost every day, and we have a year and a half,
00:06:22and at the same time, yes,
00:06:26he gives an interview on CBS and
00:06:30there the journalist also asks him about elections, and he says: "Even tomorrow,
00:06:33it's just that according to the law it's impossible to solve security problems," but I
00:06:37always think whether the question is about security problems, or the question is, why are
00:06:41you generally confident that as a result of elections someone will come, well, I don't know,
00:06:44more competent, better, not so
00:06:47corrupt,
00:06:50even if, well, this is actually a good question, first, what elections,
00:06:53presidential or parliamentary,
00:06:56should there be, there should be parliamentary ones, but they say that they are simply
00:06:59impossible, and presidential ones are easier to organize, well,
00:07:03good, so let's imagine that some president will appear, we don't know who this
00:07:07will be, let's imagine that in the conditions of martial law it can
00:07:10be Zelenskyy again, he will...
00:07:26some ratings, mhm, well, you know, actually, Zelenskyy has such a level of trust, Zaluzhny has such a level of trust,
00:07:29Budanov has such a level of trust, Fyodorov has such a level of trust,
00:07:32good,
00:07:34and please tell me, are you sure that in the conditions of martial law, if presidential
00:07:38elections are held, all these people will run?
00:07:43Or if they run, they won't be accused of betraying
00:07:46the state in a difficult moment, instead of fulfilling their important
00:07:50duties, the head of the office,
00:07:53sent to Great
00:07:54Britain,
00:07:57resigned from public service for the sake of fighting for power,
00:08:01and
00:08:03you will be told this by the telethon, or was there any way during the presidential elections
00:08:07to turn off the telethon, how,
00:08:09чином,
00:08:11well, what are the chances of any alternative candidate
00:08:15for president, even with a high rating,
00:08:19to compete with the current president in the information field, you don't
00:08:23know,
00:08:24the president will appear every day,
00:08:27talking about interceptor drones,
00:08:30about some thousands
00:08:33or 500 hryvnias, we see that
00:08:37even Trump is doing this now, he promises $500 to everyone,
00:08:40mhm.
00:08:43Well, what will the candidates do,
00:08:47alternative ones, if they even do
00:08:49anything, if they even
00:08:52exist?
00:08:56Well, these are such questions, I absolutely admit that elections during martial law are
00:09:00most likely a plebiscite of confidence in the current
00:09:02president.
00:09:06Well, I'm not talking about anything else, with all Zaluzhny's rating, what will
00:09:10Zaluzhny promise?
00:09:13citizens continuation of the war, blood, toil and tears, or
00:09:16peace? Blood, toil and tears, obviously, well, because
00:09:19if the commander-in-chief of the armed forces promises peace,
00:09:22how much trust is there in him in this regard? Well,
00:09:25yes, how ready will citizens be
00:09:28to vote for this
00:09:31blood and tears, maybe they will generally vote for a candidate who will tell them that he
00:09:35will agree with Putin?
00:09:38just a candidate who is not in the ratings, but who will appear and say:
00:09:41"Listen, all these people, Zelenskyy,
00:09:44Zaluzhny, Budanov are the party of war, they want war, because they
00:09:48profit from it, make
00:09:50careers, arrange diversions, that's what they
00:09:54know how to do, and I am a candidate for peace, I will agree with Putin, and by the way, Putin will say,
00:09:57"There is one unplanned candidate there, if only we could agree
00:10:01with him," because all
00:10:04these people want war, but we want peace,
00:10:08and in this dictatorship of Zelenskyy, who does not
00:10:11hold elections, even such a war-minded person cannot win
00:10:14elections, what a horror?
00:10:18Here are all your elections. Good, we
00:10:20and I think that this is not the point now, I generally don't...
00:10:25understand why we keep talking about
00:10:26elections?
00:10:29It seems to me that I know a thousand other ways to change power, if society
00:10:32had the desire to change it, well, the shortest and
00:10:35most incorrect and most constitutional - it's just the subjectivity of the parliament, I
00:10:39understand, but well, of course, about which we often talk, look,
00:10:43this week there was an idea to vote for
00:10:46just an appeal to
00:10:49the president, because only the president can appoint
00:10:53those decisions with his decrees, in order to deprive
00:10:56Potap,
00:10:58the rapper and singer and
00:11:01figure, of the title Honored Artist of Ukraine,
00:11:04which he received from Zelenskyy in 2020 on Independence Day,
00:11:08and the parliament voted for this, they got
00:11:11219 votes, this is despite the fact that Potap, in
00:11:15principle, well, frankly mocks
00:11:18Ukrainians who stayed here, he performs for
00:11:22Russians, earns money
00:11:25abroad and so on, and well, 219
00:11:29votes, and this shows, in principle, the quality of our
00:11:32parliament, how can they, please tell me, please
00:11:36tell me, if we are talking realistically, are you an honored journalist of Ukraine? Do
00:11:39you know, honestly, I am not even a member of the Union of Journalists, I don't know how that happened, not
00:11:43a member of the Union of Journalists - that's something else, you could join the Union, submit
00:11:46an application, and in two days you would have been awarded by presidential decree the title
00:11:50I have no state awards, although I was in
00:11:54Tula. Well, many people are honored journalists of Ukraine, did you want
00:11:58to be an honored journalist of Ukraine? Well, I always
00:12:01liked Andrukhovych's gesture, who refused to receive a state award
00:12:05from Yanukovych, right? Well no,
00:12:08we are not talking about that, listen, people receive
00:12:11orders, receive national cultural
00:12:14awards, we even always said that when people with
00:12:18a high cultural
00:12:22underground level receive them.
00:12:26they increase the prestige of the cultural awards themselves, you understand, when
00:12:29Andrukhovych becomes a laureate or Zabuzhko becomes a laureate, or
00:12:33Malkovych becomes a laureate, or
00:12:36Dzherzepilsky becomes a laureate, to some extent it is an increase
00:12:39in the prestige of culture, yes, well, although there is, there is also
00:12:43that, what's her name, oh my, oh my,
00:12:46oh my, such a famous blonde,
00:12:49well, for example, that is, there are very, very many different, sometimes to a certain extent
00:12:52controversial, for example, also laureates. There is a committee, right, that
00:12:56votes, yes, yes, yes, that votes,
00:13:00presidents approve it, there are often misunderstandings
00:13:03between the cultural community, the committee, between the committee and
00:13:06the president, but this is a procedure that exists in every country, now name me a
00:13:09country, a country where there are titles of honored and
00:13:13people's artists, well, seriously, Russia, Belarus, probably
00:13:16too, mhm, of course, I understand
00:13:19what, we have, we have 800, I saw somewhere, like 800
00:13:23people's artists. This has been awarded since 1991.
00:13:26800 people's artists since 1991.
00:13:30This is Soviet, there is no civilized country where there were
00:13:33people's and honored artists. None.
00:13:37Moreover, I remind you that all this existed. Roughly
00:13:40speaking,
00:13:43no Raimonds Pauls mentions that he is a people's artist of the Soviet Union. Is he
00:13:46a people's artist of the Soviet Union? And a people's artist of Latvia.
00:13:50Mhm. No one in Latvia
00:13:52even mentions it. Karel Gott,
00:13:56excuse me, was a people's artist of the Czechoslovak Socialist
00:13:59Republic, I tell you for sure,
00:14:03no one mentions that, what's the difference, how can you even
00:14:06mention some singer as a people's
00:14:09artist
00:14:11of Czechoslovakia, it's ridiculous, it looks
00:14:14comical,
00:14:17and we still, like in Russia, like in Belarus, like in
00:14:21Kazakhstan, because we are still in the scoop.
00:14:26And instead of proposing to cancel these
00:14:30titles altogether, the parliament votes to deprive
00:14:33of the title,
00:14:37you see, people still collect petitions to
00:14:40give people who truly defend our state the title of Hero
00:14:43of Ukraine, instead of awarding them military orders, the title of Hero is an
00:14:47absolutely Soviet Stalinist invention,
00:14:51such a thing exists only in the Soviet
00:14:54space, now heroes of Russia are fighting with heroes
00:14:57of Ukraine.
00:14:59The president of a country cannot have any right to declare anyone
00:15:03a hero. Only the people can do that. The people should
00:15:07not collect petitions,
00:15:09appealing to the ruler, like in a feudal country, so that
00:15:13the ruler bestows the title of hero.
00:15:17There is a clear procedure for awarding military awards in civilized
00:15:20countries. A very high, by the way,
00:15:23serious procedure. Even in the Soviet Union,
00:15:27surprisingly, people who were full cavaliers of the Order
00:15:30of Glory, because to receive
00:15:34the first, second, third degree, one had to actually do something, it's...
00:15:39seriously valued in military circles more than
00:15:42Heroes of the Soviet Union, because a hero could be received on
00:15:46a birthday, well, after the war, but
00:15:50the Order of Glory no,
00:15:53one had to do something concrete.
00:15:55thing,
00:15:59and with all this, I would say, burden
00:16:03of the Soviet legacy, we continue to live as if it were our own.
00:16:07And again, Zelenskyy came to power in 2019,
00:16:11a young person, as if, should have abolished all this
00:16:14nonsense? No, he continued to distribute these titles
00:16:17to his own inner circle. Why should Potap be
00:16:21an Honored Artist of Ukraine? Can you explain it to me?
00:16:23When,
00:16:25when these titles were given in the Soviet Union,
00:16:28it was explained by rather simple
00:16:31things: first, all this culture was completely under
00:16:34the government's control, and all these people were completely dependent on
00:16:37the government, and there was no other culture, so this recognition
00:16:41was to a certain extent a protection, like Peter the Great's Table of Ranks,
00:16:45that is, all served the tsar, of course, it's just a
00:16:49service title, and everyone, if you are not given the People's Artist
00:16:52of the Soviet Union, it means you are not such, why are you not
00:16:56given, maybe you are not reliable, why for so many years you do not
00:16:59receive the title of People's Artist of the Soviet Union, well, and
00:17:02bonuses and access to various benefits, by the way, people of Jewish origin
00:17:06received these titles. there at 70-75 years old,
00:17:09mhm,
00:17:12ah, their peers, let's say,
00:17:16of Slavic origin at 55 for the same
00:17:19merits, there was a wonderful story that there were separate
00:17:22people who received the title Hero of Socialist Labor, it was
00:17:25a huge thing, and I will always remember a wonderful story about
00:17:29how the distinguished artist Mark Prudkin was not given the title of Hero
00:17:33of Socialist Labor at 85 years old, they said in the Central Committee of the party that they would give it at
00:17:3690.
00:17:39And he lived to 90, and they still didn't want to give it to him, because he had
00:17:43the wrong nationality in his questionnaire, and then the whole
00:17:46party committee, the whole Amhat, came to the Central Committee of the CPSU and said: "You
00:17:50promised, comrades," and he became a Hero of Socialist Labor at
00:17:5490 years old, crying with joy.
00:17:56But, if seriously, it was also a
00:18:00concert rate, you know that, well, yes, yes, well, if you became
00:18:03an Honored Artist of the Republic, a People's Artist of the Republic and...
00:18:07a People's Artist of the Soviet Union, you had a higher concert
00:18:11rate, you were paid more for performances, for shows,
00:18:15for films, yes, a People's Artist
00:18:18of the Soviet Union was given more money than a People's
00:18:21Artist of Ukraine, it was such an unequal
00:18:25distribution of baseness, because
00:18:28generally this country was quite poor in terms of any
00:18:32real material opportunities, but
00:18:35a People's Artist of the Soviet Union could more... than a People's Artist
00:18:38of the republic, and people fought for these titles to
00:18:42get these concert rates, because if I, hypothetically, I don't know,
00:18:45Joseph Kobzon becomes a People's
00:18:47Artist
00:18:50of the Soviet Union, I just get more official money for concerts,
00:18:53well, that's why, by the way, but that's why, by the way, Kobzon, you know that he was
00:18:57a People's Artist, I don't remember, of Dagestan or Chechnya or Ingushetia, he
00:19:01arranged for him and his comrades to be given the title of People's
00:19:04Artist in some autonomous republic, because this was also
00:19:07a concert rate,
00:19:11until he was given the title of Honored Artist of Russia,
00:19:13imagine,
00:19:16people fought for it, but we should have moved away from all this,
00:19:19why are we still living in this, I would say,
00:19:23horror? Well,
00:19:26first of all, in state theaters, very
00:19:29often the salary
00:19:32is calculated, I find that word offensive,
00:19:35including based on...
00:19:40You have such a salary scale if you work in a state structure, and I worked
00:19:43as a manager at NSTU, the National Public
00:19:46Broadcasting Company of Ukraine, and you, for example, cannot pay
00:19:49more, and cannot pay less, which is important to a person, no matter
00:19:53how they work, because they have guaranteed money coming from the state, and
00:19:57as for Potap, he will theoretically receive, when he retires,
00:20:0120 + 20% of his official salary calculated towards
00:20:05his pension, that's how it is. And what is his
00:20:08official salary, I have no idea, honestly, I think he doesn't have any official
00:20:12salary, well, that's first of all, and secondly, again, do you imagine that Potap,
00:20:16that he comes out in front of his audience, and they say People's
00:20:19Honored Artist of Ukraine
00:20:20Potap,
00:20:23and I don't know how Laima Vaikule announced him there, who theoretically in
00:20:27Jūrmala, maybe she does announce him that way, Honored Artist, Laima Vaikule is in Latvia,
00:20:31no one remembers that she is a People's Artist of Latvia, none of this exists
00:20:34there.
00:20:38In the Baltic countries, these titles don't exist, so she couldn't have announced
00:20:42him like that, it doesn't
00:20:43exist there.
00:20:48This is certainly a pity. That we cannot
00:20:52overcome this Soviet mentality for 35 years, it would seem that this
00:20:55system itself no longer works, because we don't have a planned economy,
00:20:59it should have been, at least not planned, it would
00:21:02seem that we simply should have gotten rid of those remnants like
00:21:06some slave brand, but no, it lives
00:21:09in people, and I see, I know, no, well, it's just, you understand, if
00:21:13people consider someone a great artist, it was already noticed long ago,
00:21:16whether in Soviet times or post-Soviet times, it absolutely doesn't
00:21:20matter whether they call him a people's artist or not, if a person
00:21:23is no artist, they disappear, you can give him a title 45 thousand times,
00:21:27it will only be written on his tombstone,
00:21:30I had a
00:21:33dialogue with, it seems to me, several presidents
00:21:37of Ukraine, who said that I needed to be given
00:21:40the title of Honored Journalist of Ukraine, because I am such an honored journalist, do you know what I
00:21:44answered?
00:21:47I asked them to give me the title of People's...
00:21:50Artist:
00:21:52I said that I don't want to be an Honored Journalist of Ukraine, I want to be a People's
00:21:56Artist of Ukraine. And they
00:21:58asked me how, what kind of artist I am, I told them, what's the problem, in
00:22:02the Soviet Union announcers, Igor Kirillov, there, Valentina
00:22:05Leontyeva, I don't know, who, here we have Tatyana
00:22:09Tsymbal, they were People's Artists of the Soviet Union,
00:22:13People's Artists of Ukraine, no one doubts that they are People's Artists,
00:22:16why are we, Mr. Andriy, worse than... TV
00:22:20hosts, we are sitting on air, talking, they read the news, we don't even
00:22:23read from a paper, we are talking with you, why can't
00:22:27we be People's Artists, and immediately these respected state
00:22:31figures, from me, how shall I
00:22:33say it, distanced themselves with their
00:22:36proposals, because they saw all this, how shall I say it, I
00:22:40illustrated to them all the idiocy of the situation,
00:22:42yes, that is, they somehow realized that if I
00:22:46were a People's Artist, it would look wild.
00:22:51But they didn't realize that giving someone the title of Honored Journalist is also
00:22:54some kind of wildness, absolutely the same, but for me,
00:22:58an Honored Land Reclaimer, what do we have there, all Honored ones? Oh, there, there are, there are
00:23:02dozens of different titles, actually, there's a whole nomenclature, but I, but
00:23:05you see, but this actually marks a person, that, okay, you
00:23:08agreed and became a little bit a person
00:23:11of the system,
00:23:13or received recognition from the system, listen, for some reason
00:23:17this is also a big secret for me. That
00:23:20there were some Soviet republics where it was believed that
00:23:23literature was a people's affair, and
00:23:26there were republics where it was believed that literature was such an art,
00:23:30well, more serious, it cannot be, there are no people's
00:23:33writers in Russia, yes,
00:23:37oddly enough, and there are no People's Writers of Ukraine, we don't have
00:23:40such a title, imagine how many people could have received the title
00:23:44People's Writer of Ukraine, Tychyna,
00:23:47Bazhan, I don't know,
00:23:50Honchar, then there was a struggle
00:23:54for this title, but we don't have such a title, and we somehow live, and don't even
00:23:58imagine that the state could make a decision to
00:24:01grant such a title, People's Writer of Belarus
00:24:04exists,
00:24:06and Lukashenko still grants these titles, we just don't
00:24:10know who these charming people are, but even in Soviet
00:24:13times they existed, there were People's Writers everywhere except Russia and
00:24:16Ukraine, that is, it somehow passed us by. For
00:24:20unknown reasons,
00:24:23we were able to stand on equal terms with the Russians here, who understood that they could not
00:24:26give their great writers the title of
00:24:29People's, all the others, here is a wonderful
00:24:33example for you, of a title not existing here, but existing in other
00:24:36former Soviet republics, and they say it with pride
00:24:40when they mention their writers. people's writer of Belarus, Yakub
00:24:44Kolos, Maksim Tank, these are all people who received the title of people's
00:24:47writers from the Presidium of the Supreme Council. To us, this
00:24:51sounds wild, right, but it's an interesting point that
00:24:54these titles were still given even in the Soviet Union, well, a formality, but
00:24:58the Presidium of the Supreme Council, and now it's just a presidential decree,
00:25:01meaning we don't even have a president, yes, the Presidium was a collective body, that's
00:25:05true, and they even bypassed this nominal, but
00:25:09but, but, but some
00:25:11parliamentary, at least a pretext
00:25:14for parliamentarism, and now we just have the president who gives when he wants, doesn't give when he wants,
00:25:18there's such a Let's take a short break and continue,
00:25:21stay tuned.
00:25:29Now the main thing: an informational and analytical show about
00:25:33Ukraine and the world. Politics, economy, war and security,
00:25:36without manipulation, emotions, and simplifications. We analyze
00:25:40the day's events, decisions that are being made right now, and
00:25:43their consequences for the country and society. Hosts and
00:25:47experts explain the complex, clearly.
00:25:50This is not just a news broadcast, it is a guide in a complex
00:25:53information reality. Now the main thing.
00:25:57In the evening, on Espresso. Events that
00:25:59change the world, the main results of the day in.
00:26:02analytics from Serhiy Zgurets, economics with Oleksandr Morshchivka,
00:26:14news from Khrystyna Yatskiv, culture from Lena Chechenina
00:26:18and weather forecast from Natalka Didenko, a lot of interesting
00:26:21information, a busy broadcast awaits you, Ukrainian
00:26:25evening focus, daily, on weekdays on
00:26:27Espresso.
00:26:40Now everyone collects what has grown
00:26:44in the garden, we are starting an active period
00:26:47of canning, right, we are already
00:26:50enjoying the benefits, we put all our strength
00:26:53into it, and now the earth will repay us
00:26:56a hundredfold, so of course, for
00:27:00this you need... well, somehow to
00:27:04tame it, do something with it, so as not to lose a single
00:27:07tomato, a single cucumber, and
00:27:10we decided that the next our offer, namely a set of
00:27:14harvest pots, will help our housewives very much
00:27:17in this, well, this is a real sales hit, we
00:27:21don't just have pots, but they also have lids, and these lids
00:27:25are easy to store, you see, yes, strong handles,
00:27:28reliable handles, by the way, about the reliability of the handles I also looked at
00:27:32how they were soldered, and they are also
00:27:36perfectly soldered, that is, even if such a huge volume, it is clear,
00:27:39the pot will be heavy by itself, they will not tear off
00:27:43and in no case will anything spill on your feet and we will not have to
00:27:47clean up afterwards, excellent stainless steel, by the way, it has
00:27:50good density, I also really like this, why, because when
00:27:54the stainless steel itself is dense, we believe
00:27:57that these are such eternal pots,
00:27:59how much will this wonderful
00:28:03offer cost, remember, less than
00:28:06200 UAH, yes, and if I tell you that such a
00:28:09pot, one of the largest, can cost 200 UAH
00:28:13itself, imagine,
00:28:15one, here we don't have
00:28:19all the surprises yet, look, girls, not
00:28:22all the surprises, besides the fact that it's already very profitable to buy
00:28:26these pots themselves, I also have
00:28:30such a gift for you, also a teapot. there will be
00:28:33a teapot that will notify you that the water has already
00:28:37boiled, because here we have
00:28:40a whistle, we see, and
00:28:43you put it on, lay down to watch your favorite
00:28:46series, you think, oh, I'll drink some nice tea,
00:28:50your teapots burned, they burned, here it won't
00:28:54burn, because it will whistle so loudly that your neighbors will even
00:28:58knock on the wall and say, something is wrong with you,
00:29:01and I have
00:29:04another gift, right, in these pots you still need
00:29:08to stir, and how to do it, you won't do it with your hand, well,
00:29:11here's such a nice ladle for your
00:29:15attention today as a gift, that's
00:29:18right, look how beautiful it is, my God,
00:29:21listen, well, it's very, very cute, let me put everything out here so
00:29:25that we
00:29:27can see, and here are such wonderful gifts for
00:29:31your attention. I don't know why, I really liked this ladle,
00:29:34also stainless steel, again,
00:29:38easy to clean, now there are already a lot of products,
00:29:42because one of my acquaintances says, you know, I want such a pot, but I'm afraid
00:29:45that I'll get it dirty, I say, listen, well, you have such a teapot, you don't
00:29:49get it dirty, well, so, you know, I
00:29:53have special products, I say, well, who prevents you from doing this with pots,
00:29:56there is also wonderful stainless steel there, by the way,
00:30:00there is also such a
00:30:03folk way to wash such pots so that they
00:30:07shine like new, this is to take
00:30:09a spoonful of vinegar and dilute it in 3 liters of water
00:30:13and wipe, so wipe and then wipe everything
00:30:16off with a soft towel so that it doesn't remain
00:30:19wet, so keep in mind that it is very, very easy to
00:30:23take care of such pots, and also, you know, sometimes even easier than
00:30:26enameled ones, because enameled pots, no matter how you look at it, they can
00:30:30crack a little over time, and when the
00:30:33enamel cracks, it not
00:30:37only looks bad, well, who cares if it looks good or bad, that's
00:30:41one thing, but we still want everything to be wonderful, the very
00:30:45fact that food residues will get stuck
00:30:48there, of what we cook, and
00:30:51thus it will first be unhygienic, and
00:30:54secondly, it's hard to wash them completely, and
00:30:57stainless steel, especially since here...
