Vladyslav seleznyov, a military expert as the speaker of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in the 14th and 17th years was a guest of our broadcast. I remind you that you are watching the project Svoboda Ranok and further in our broadcast. Year, how were they met by the locals, was it scary to go to ukraine during a largescale war, and from whom did the Israeli Police come to protect them . My colleagues know all the information in detail and are ready to tell you gold, silver and bronze, 28 medals were won by the Ukrainian National team at the International Competitions inquitus game 2023, what gives ukraine the victories at these games and why they are an important platform for reminding about the war in ukraine, we will talk about this in the broadcasts, if you have not yet subscribed to the Youtube Channel of radio svoboda and now it is a Good Opportunity to do this and also in the comments write to us where do you watch us from and are you interested in the topics that we raise on the air or suggest us a topic that is important to you, maybe it will become the topic of our air in the future then umani what in cherkasy oblast, hasidim gather to celebrate the jewish new year at the grave of the founder of hasidism, tzadik nachman, but 20,000 pilgrims have already arrived. In total, approximately 30,000 hasidim are expected here. These data were reported to the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine by the pilgrims who came to uman and the Israeli Police , together with the Ukrainian Military police and soldiers of the national guard, they will patrol the city during the holiday period; in addition, the state Emergency Service unit has been deployed in the city on occasions my colleague taras levchenko, a correspondent of radio svoboda, is watching. He joins our broadcast of the route. Hello, what is the situation in uman, how are the preparations for the jewish new year going and how many israeli Law Enforcement officers are there in uman . This is an important moment of respect. Year, the pilgrims with whom i spoke from traveling to their shrines were not deterred by russias war against ukraine, nor the threat of missile attacks, nor, lets say, the tiring road, in particular , the man whom you will now see was getting to uman flew for a few days from israel to moldova, from there it took 12 hours to uman by bus. Was it scary to come here because of the war . But no, we dont see any planes or tanks here, no war, if you generally understand what is happening between ukraine and russia where do i know that there is a battle for some territories, i do not film the night battle, we are neutral, but we love ukraine, we want peace between ukraine and russia, pilgrims come to uman because it is so fortunately, the testator of one nachman, the founder of braslav hasidism, who he was buried in one of the cemeteries of the city in order to visit his grave. Even when there was a coronavirus pandemic , as they told me, they slept for several days near the state borders of ukraine, so even the war is not an obstacle for them for the annual ritual. In particular, we are talking about nathan from israel, whom this student will see now he comes to uman to rozhishche on his own or with his parents for the 20th time in a row and once again complains about the prices of rented housing in uman during the jewish holidays. We know what is happening in ukraine now, but we came here for the great raban his burial is three minutes from where we are standing where my feat me my friend asks me why do you come here and spend 3,000 per person my friend asks me why do you come here and pay 3,000 per person for housing we are waiting and i say hello this is not a product hyphen do you really feel safe in ukraine no, i will tell you why because the police do not check whether they have a gun or maybe some terrorists have come, they are only interested in taxes to the city budget, the police take preventive measures, they make sure that no one is on the territory did not transfer any of prohibited things there, explosives, etc. Therefore, it is all conducted politely, diplomatically, correctly, you know, stories happen in them when shabbat begins, when shabbat begins , they cant do anything on shabbat at all , that is, they can leave the gas stove somewhere unattended there, turn on the water of a regular among the pilgrims i also saw another special transport and dog handlers, as well as other outfits of policemen who, by the way , even now we are accompanied by the press, who know english to the letter , and the policemen from israel who can tell something to a nervous pilgrim came to help ukrainian colleagues, but their number is not disclosed for security reasons, as well as the safety of the pilgrims themselves. I tried to find an answer for myself to the question what should people who came to uman do in the event of an air raid or missile attack . Lets listen to the answer of the city authorities. Uh, an alert system that speaks in hebrew and warns them about uh, an air alert or some kind of danger, so in general , i shouted about, well, its hard to count them, but hmm, lets say that they are for today there are not enough of them, three times less than the number of arrivals, it was necessary to prepare for more than one year and build shelters at times to avoid conflicts, the uman City Government banned the sale of alcohol and pyrotechnics in the area where the pilgrims arrive. They even have garages, sheds and unfinished buildings for housing, and local officials are outraged by this. On the territory of four hectares, there are only a few official hotels, all other buildings and structures are either not put into operation or, i think, owned and under in this case, Hasidic Jewish pilgrims do not pay the tourist tax, that is why we decided that for today, one day of a pilgrims stay is required to pay the tourist tax. The local budget, these funds will definitely be used for hospitals, we already think so theoretically for our hospitals and for the military, that is, according to the beliefs of the jews , the pilgrims will celebrate the beginning of the new year from september 15 to 17 , they believe that it is during this holiday that god evaluates the actions of people and decides their fate. So, when you mentioned that, according to the estimates of the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine, there will be approximately 30,000 prisoners of the City Government here, during the war or before the pandemic period. Well, in the coming days, pilgrims will have fun, eat kosher food and, of course, pray studio. Thank you very much terasi for this in fact, the informative inclusion, as we can see, of the skills of a largescale war, does not affect the desire of the hasids to come to uman, and levchenko , a correspondent of radio svoboda, joined our broadcast from uman, where he is preparing to celebrate the jewish new year and hasidim actually gather there en masse, i remind you to watch the freedom of the morning project in the comments to our broadcast, in particular if you are from uman watching us or from cherkassy, write how do you feel about the celebration of this new year in general, because in social networks very, very many complaints about the fact that this is the guests who come to uman and leave behind a lot of dirt. There is a lot of dirt on the buses. Photos from the bus they used are dirty. In our comments, the first deputy mayor of uman is currently joining our broadcast. I greet you. Good morning. Good afternoon. Thank you very much for finding the opportunity to join. Parties to have the police from israel come, or after all , israel decided to send its Law Enforcement officers to ensure law and order on the streets of uman on their initiative, well, this was not the first year and this is an initiative of the Israeli Police, you know the Israeli Police who are in our city, they are more communicators, because we all clearly understand that they do not have any authority in our territory, but they help our National Police in communication, and jewish pilgrims react to their police in a more restrained manner. Convey greetings to your colleagues, the whole headquarters has actually gathered there. If you can say so, but still, my next question will relate to the fact that in social networks openly complains about garbage, which in itself left by pilgrims, for example, in the buses in which they traveled, there are also photos and videos of the trains. How will you advise on this and whether it is possible to have some discussions about how to behave with this garbage so that such situations do not arise, but uh, we can only recommend not to litter, but you know these recommendations are not enough, and i note that in the Previous Year and this year , the streets of the city are cleaned eight times a day, garbage is taken out more than 10 times a day, and all pilgrims and visitors to this do you notice these areas more often on our streets because , as we said earlier in the story, the city has been receiving a tourist tax for the last two years, and with these funds we can meet our guests with dignity and support our armed forces, which is the main goal for us today there will still be a question about shelter, you have actually already answered this question to my colleagues , in particular taras levchenko, but still just in case there is an air alert. Will there be a place to accommodate these 30,000 foreigners who are planning to come to the celebration itself and was there any additional briefing for them, perhaps by the local authorities or, i dont know, by the authorities from kyiv . And how should they behave in the event of an air alert . Still, given the situation that israel understands what this is, additional briefing was not necessary conduct well, we all heard recommendations from the local authorities and the state authorities not to attend the celebration of rososhana this year, but the pilgrims believe that rabinachman commanded them to visit this grave and who will celebrate the new a year in the city of uman on the grave of sadik nachman will be happy all year long and they are not stopped by any recommendations or prohibitions, that is why they come and wait for this holiday and even we can observe when there was an air alarm, not all pilgrims go to the shelter , ignore the air alarm and we said even before the arrival that there are not so many shelters in this area of pilgrimage, i have one more question. I dont know if you will be able to answer it, but this is actually a very important point, the center of opposition is somewhere with information informs that russia is preparing an informational alibi for a possible route to uman, did any additional recommendations come from the military leadership, i do not know from ukrainian intelligence, how to work in this regard, how to counter this russian and disinformation, did you send these messages to those pilgrims who come to uman or in in this context, no actions have been taken so far. Well, lets say this. It is not our competence to comment on these measures, but i assure you that the National Police, which is in large numbers on the territory i am sure that they carry out all the measures and work to ensure that nothing bad happens. Of course, yes, but there are a few more nuances. What exactly is the competence of local authorities, lets call it this pilgrimage fee. Yes, these funds. If they go to the state budget of the city budget, i apologize where will you send them after . I may have a separate tape for this , how will they be directed . Are these funds in general for the budget, and only then will all the funds be distributed and they will go to some separate industry, well, look at what i understand today. Next month, we will already have a budget overrun, just in relation to the synoptic side, and what we previously discussed, we will direct these funds to our local medicine in part, and the rest of the funds, i think we will use to support our armed forces forces will buy mavic quadrocopters and fpv drones to help our armed forces ukraine. I think that today it will be such a significant help and the pilgrims will feel these funds that they paid into the local budget will support our armed forces of ukraine and in conclusion, there were complaints from those pilgrims who came to uman that housing is very expensive in the city at the moment private rental of apartments, you cant influence it in any way. Actually , there can be no issues with the City Government in this context. Well, lets be honest, in the territory of the pilgrimage, most of the hotels and houses are private, so somehow to influence dictate the terms of pricing of these new hotels we cant or agreed thank you thank you mr. Oleg let me rest in peace oleg hanich first deputy mayor of uman was a guest of our broadcast we talked about the situation in the city and what is actually happening there now today meanwhile the ban on the import of ukrainian grain into the European Union is about to expire, will it be extended as requested by some Member States of the European Union, and will they be allowed to import more to europe at the moment the new decision of the European Commission is not yet known. There is no one on the eve. The minister of Foreign Affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, expressed hope that today the European Commission will still cancel the restrictions. Ukraine expects that the European Commission will keep its word and tomorrow will cancel all restrictions on ukrainian agricultural exports. Market Association Agreement and confidence in eu obligations previously reported in the European Union regarding the solution to this problem can join italy and greece writes european truth with reference to the decision of the European Commission, marian garcia, a farmer, our european correspondent zoryana stepanenko talked and recorded an exclusive interview from here with the Prime Minister of ukraine for european integration Olga Stefanyshyn , in particular, regarding the situation surrounding ukrainian grain, lets do it now lets listen to an excerpt of this conversation, and the full version about grain, forecasts for joining the European Union and her conversation with the secretary general of nato with toltenberg. Watch and read on the website of radio svoboda yak zernova the crisis may affect the movement of ukraine to the European Union. If possible, i am quoting the literally fresh statement of the polish minister of agriculture. He said that ukraine cannot join the eu under the Current Conditions because it would harm polish agriculture. And it is noteworthy that this comes from a country that, until recently, actively ukraines path to the eu and was an ally on this path , how serious is this problem from poland . In general, to the issue of ukrainianpolish relations. As such, if we did not have a fullscale war, if the borders of ukraine were not limited, and the sea was not blocked. Would be ordinary trade irritants, as it was in other times before the start of the war, when the Association Agreement first came into force, so in fact it is a normal, if normal, process, but today we are very sorry that this process has become the subject of political speculations, manipulations and actually, it is difficult for us as the government of ukraine to look our agrarians in the eyes and tell them that europe is depriving you of the opportunity to work in the conditions of its war by blocking, lets say , the channels for the sale of grain, which are the only ones available today, we understand that it is th solution from a technical point of view, this issue has turned from a technical point of view into a very emotional political one. Many elections in Different Countries of europe are an ideal platform for political speculation , manipulation of pressure, confrontations, thats all , we understand. But we have to survive, were moving. To the European Union, which is based on values and rules, there are no political exceptions for us and so on, we demand the same from the union and from its Member States, and any threats about unilateral restrictions are a clear violation of european constitutional principles. This is obvious and we cannot we have to tolerate it, we have to survive. If we have to fight for it, we will fight for it. The Ukrainian National team won 28 medals at the invector competition at the games 2023 held in dusseldorf, germany, in particular , the participants from ukraine won 9 gold 14 silver and five bronze awards, the ministry of youth and sports of ukraine reports. I would like to point out that the invector of the games is an International Sports competition of the paralympic type , in which mostly military personnel and veterans who were injured and wounded during hostilities take part. The mission of the project is to help veterans overcome the consequences of physical injuries ukraine has been participating in these competitions since 2017, and in these minutes yuliya paevska paramedic joins us. By the way, ms. Yuliya, a volunteer, won her first medal at the intus games, becoming a silver medalist in swimming in the 50 m freestyle i congratulate you on this award and congratulate you on our broadcast i congratulate all heroes thanks to mrs. Yuliya well , first of all, about the atmosphere, we can see what is happening, the competitions are going on, how do you like the organization of these competitions and the atmosphere in general. If we look at the summary given by the ministry of sports, we can see how many awards the ukrainian representatives already have, how do you generally assess this years opponents of ukraine, those who competed with representatives from ukraine, to what extent the high level of their training and how the competitions were held in general. How difficult were the victories . I will ask, yes, i was very happy because i was worried about whether i would be able to adequately represent the country. The war of the Russian Federation against ukraine continues , to what extent is the topic of the russianukrainian largescale war present at these venues of International Competitions, i dont know if the representatives are suitable athletes from other countries ask ukrainian athletes how the situation is, we see a lot of blue and yellow flags there, those who came to support the ukrainian athletes, those who are participating, and how in general , those who have to deal with there , to what extent is the topic of the russianukrainian war also rises, well, this topic does not get wet at all, that is, all the time, and our guys places are constantly like this Samsung Galaxy against ukraine weapons as soon as possible and there already, for example, that is, in fact , even Sports Grounds are sports International Competitions become such an option and an opportunity for the representatives of ukraine to promote ukrainian interests and, i dont know, conditionally agree on aid and support for ukraine in order to remind the world of what is happening in the separated about our victim and our captured deputies. If i am not mistaken last year you were also supposed to take part in these competitions, but then because of captivity it was not possible to do it. Please tell me when you received your first medal at these games, we did not have the opportunity to communicate with you but what were your emotions, this may be a somewhat banal question, but you know it is important, because in fact, last year you did not have the opportunity to participate in the competition at all, and this year to come out of it as a champion. It is very difficult to convey such a gram of feelings. I did not let down everyone who believed in me and in our National Team and in our boys and girls, everyone here is the same, we are all working to win as much as we can, wherever we can , now our task is to fulfill our mixion here for literally a few more minutes i will take your time and we will let you go, but still, here is the mission of the project, the mission of these competitions is to help veterans overcome the consequences of physical injuries, how effective it is, you were able to experience it in practice and can tell us how effective it is and how important it is that the world actually takes care of these issues its hard, its hard to even say how much it affects, i see how the guys gather even when you dont feel very well, they still gather all their strength and perform very well. You can see all our starts online and rate where does their effort come from to support their recovery through the sports club . This is very natural for a person, especially for a soldier.

And finally, a few more organizational points. When will these games actually end . When will the return home be . What are the plans after returning here to ukraine . Something in this context of course i personally will still stay here i have to do an operation on my spine because i have an exacerbation i can even use crutches now and the National Team will be back welcome them wait for them and i will come after the operation, there are plans to do veteran sports and recovery because of smuggling because of secretions ukraine what did you find an opportunity to join, we wish only victories and that what you are doing really brings the desired results yulia paevska, a couple , a doctor, a volunteer.
