Of the countries with the most developed economies and developing economy, but without a strong decision in the ministry of Foreign Affairs of ukraine, disappointed by the weak text of the final declaration of the g20 summit. They noted that our state is grateful to partners who tried to include strong wording in the text. However, the participation of the ukrainian side would allow the participants to better understand the situation. The ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that the principle is nothing. About ukraine without ukraine remains the key, what did the g20 leaders agree on . The consequences of the russian measure are being raked to this day, as muscovites freed kharkiv oblast from libraries and educational institutions, well see. The whole essence of this war was revealed. Here it is, yes, the first cause of evil, which is now evil. This week, our state received a new minister of defense, rustem umyerov, the first. Crimean in the history of ukraine to head the defense department. We will find out what the moderate is planning and why his predecessors got rid of the chair. In my philosophy, corrupt officials are equated with terrorists, and no negotiations are conducted with terrorists. Rustem umyerov, the new minister of defense, promises to develop the ukrainian militaryindustrial complex, to straighten out the military medical commissions and prepare the infrastructure for f16 aircraft and to overcome corruption in the ministry, because in particular corruption allegations cost his predecessor the seat. The fourth head of the ministry of defense under president zelenskyi, the first Andriy Zagorodnyuk , has passed away. He seemed like an ideal western style minister, a civilian, pronativist with an impeccable reputation, but he worked in the position for only six months and left without even reporting to the parliament. The reasons for the resignation are still unknown. After him the ministry of defense was once again headed by a military man. Lieutenantgeneral andriy taran, who first of all liquidated the project office of reforms under the ministry of the armed forces of ukraine , called the adaptation of the Ukrainian Armed forces to nato standards an ambitious but unattainable goal. Public activists accused taran of disrupting the defense order, but he had to resign for another reason, due to a sharp conflict with the then head of the agencys staff , ruslan khomchak. According to the media, at some stage they did not even speak to each other. First of all, thank you to andriy vasyliovych taran, he did a lot for our army, for our troops. And also, without reporting to the verkhovna rada, taran went to work as an ambassador to slovenia. For the position of the new minister of defense, zelensky again chose a civilian, a lawyer, oleksiy reznikov, who previously worked as a vice Prime Minister and minister for the reintegration of temporarily occupied territories. There will be zero tolerance for corruption in the ministry. And already in three months , a fullscale war began. In which reznikov either did not believe, or hid it, as later they said not to sow panic, please tell me, dont you think its already on fire, that in fact the whole world is talking about it and writing about it, panicky moods are really burning in some heads, and this is life, this is human psychology, they appeared before the minister completely different challenges, in the first days of the invasion, he became one of the faces of the Ukrainian Resistance alongside zelskyi and zaluzhny, he personally went to belarus for negotiations in the first weeks of the invasion, but his diplomatic talent was really revealed with the launch of the rammstein format. Reznikov managed to establish trusting personal relationships with his western colleagues. He literally bit his partners weapons. First the 155caliber artillery, then hymers, then tanks and finally modern combat aircraft. Good luck, oleksiy, you were fantastic for ukraine. We have worked together since the beginning, and without you we would not have been able to unlock international support. Few people will know about yours. Full contribution during this war, but from those of us who know, thank you. Ben wallace, uk defense secretary 20192023 years but all the achievements of the minister. Crossed eggs and jackets. At the beginning of 2023, journalists published contracts for feeding military units. In particular , the material said that the ministry of defense buys chicken eggs for uah 17 per piece, which is much more expensive than in stores. Reznikov initially explained that it was a mistake, but in the end the contracts were terminated, and the director of the Procurement Department was fired, and he ended up at sizo. Then reznikov held on to the chair, but in august 2023. A new Corruption Scandal broke out. This investigative journalists once claimed that the price of jackets purchased by the ministry of defense in 2022 allegedly tripled during delivery from turkey to ukraine, and the jackets themselves might not have been winter. The fire was fueled by the fact that among the founders of the suppliers turkish company, for some reason, there was a nephew of the peoples deputy of the servant of the people and a member of the defense committee, gennady kasai. Instead of comprehensive answers, reznikov suggested to paris investigators that the jackets were so winter. It was hardly the most successful decision of the minister, who worked for 671 days. I decided to replace the minister of defense of ukraine. I believe that the ministry needs new approaches and other formats of interaction, both with the military and with society as a whole. Now the ministry of defense of the country, which is resisting the Largest Military aggression since the second world war, is headed by a person about whom the general public knows little, but those who do know. With Rustem Umerov , they speak closely about him as a system professional. If this is true, there is hope for systemic changes in the ministry of defense. From this depends much more than the number of days umierov will spend in office, it is about whether he will become the minister of victory. We are adding to our eterra pavlo klimkin, a diplomat and minister of Foreign Affairs of ukraine in 20142019. Mr. Pavle, good evening. Greetings to all, friends, this week we have a number of visits of International Partners to our country, against the background of which there was an appointment to one of the most important departments during the war, this is the ministry of defense. So, in your opinion, the change of the minister of defense of ukraine can have an impact on our relations with partners . Negatively, no, because of course it is about trust , including human trust, but the subject is respected, i know that he has this feeling and understanding of how to work further, it is very important, of course, that he will be successful the first weeks, and a lot will of course depend on ramstein, the meeting and many other things, but i am sure that he will succeed, and there is simply no other option. Thank you, please stay in touch, because it is important to discuss international events, namely the g20 summit. So, the countries of the group of 20 adopted a joint declaration, the leaders of the states called for an end to the war in ukraine and expressed concern about the negative impact on the World Economy and serious consequences for global food security. Emphasis is placed on the inadmissibility of the use of nuclear weapons, and they also called for the full implementation of the istanbul agreements for the safe export of grain from ukraine. The g20 welcomes constructive initiatives that support a comprehensive, just and durable peace in ukraine. On the other hand, this declaration does not condemn the actions of russia, which launched an aggressive war against our state. More about the summit later. Official meetings and backroom negotiations of the leaders of economically developed countries for the first time in the history of the group of 20 summit are taking place in south asia, the capital of india, new delhi. The security of the city has been strengthened both at the borders and in the sky. Participants will be guarded by almost 130,000 security officers. In total, the group of 20 includes 19 states, as well as the European Union as a collective organization, this year also invited representatives of bangladesh, algeria, egypt, spain, the netherlands, oman and singapore. They, like ukraine, are not members of the group. However , our state will not be there, indias main argument is that the summit of the group of 20 is only for its members to deal with Economic Issues, and not to resolve political conflicts. India is playing its role, it is holding a position so as not to take any position very much. Visible, and in fact, this position gives india certain benefits in the short term, both political and economic, we can see from its. Cooperation, in particular with the Russian Federation of economic cooperation. And russia was invited. Even last year in his online speech at the g20 summit, president zelensky hinted that the Russian Federation should be excluded from this list. It can be said that only putin heeded this call, because he had traditionally dispatched the head of the ministry of Foreign Affairs, lavov, instead of himself. And this despite the fact that, unlike the couples, india did not ratify the rome statute and puttinuli was not threatened with arrest, and chinese leader xi jinping did not come to the meeting for the first time, he is represented by the Prime Minister. Yes, the war in ukraine is not the central topic of the summit this year, and the group of 20 has split into two camps the countries of the West Advocate a stronger condemnation of russia, while, like the countries of the global south, Economic Issues are important. However , it will not be possible to avoid the consequences of russian aggression, because the terrorist country continues to provoke a food crisis. In the world and demands that the supply of ukrainian grain takes place on its terms. Actually, it is beneficial for russia, the breakdown of the grain agreement allows it to raise grain prices and push ukraine out of the markets of india and china. At the meeting of the group of 20, the president of the European Council publicly accused the representative of the Russian Federation of a terrible crime cynicism the aggressor offered to donate 1 million tons of grain to african countries, and this is after her. Exit and grain agreement, bombing of ports and grains, black sea ports and the danube. Charles michel noted that 40 million tons of grain had already been exported Via Alternative routes, so the socalled gift to russia is just a parody of generosity. The position of the eu is clear. We condemn russian aggression, we support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. We support the just peace formula proposed by the president. And we will always be very active to defend those principles and values in various formats, including at this meeting of the group of 20, it is difficult to predict whether a declaration will be agreed upon. So for whom will this summit really be victorious and will there be positive results for ukraine . Until the question. In particular, because the main decisions and agreements remain on the sidelines. Natalya stareprava, espresso tv channel. Mr. Pavle, the russian dictator and the leader of china did not come to the g20 summit. How common are such absences, so to speak, for the leaders of countries measures, is it possible that nothing demonstrative happened, which in your opinion can be evidenced by the absence of the leaders of russia and china . Well, in putins case, its already a solid, as you say, absenteeism, hes bryx, walked around, twentysomething. Took a walk, a visit to turkey, what he is there, i dont know anymore, he took a walk there, so let him continue to look there, but the absence of the chinese leader is really unprecedented, he always went to the twenties, someone is trying to speculate that his visit was prevented some difficult relations with india, but they always are were difficult, and i think that the president of syria does not want to answer now , what is happening with the chinese economy, there are some difficulties there, and i think that he does not really want to meet with western representatives, particularly biden, why is it for him now that xi is preparing for the elections in taiwan, in its own sense, of course, which will take place next january. Year , and in general the twenties itself as a platform is about talking, as a rule, some fundamental decisions are not made there, and if there are any agreements, they are in the center or economy or some kind of global governance. What i have seen during all the summits, it is always so half, half. The glass is full or half empty, and my impression is more like a glass half empty, so today, whether it is sunset or not, it is very difficult to agree on something serious and influential, and among nonwestern countries, not that there is a consensus, but in general , there is no agreement at all, that is, the summit passed, by the way, the real result is acceptance into the African Union of twenty and the influence and importance of africa, in the context of the nonwest, will grow, and of course, the decision announced by biden about the possibility of further reforming the world bank, and the fact that the states are calling on the west to invest in special programs of the world bank, is in fact, met among the countries of africa, latin america and asia, positive, but lets see how it will work. There is another important aspect ukraine was not invited to the g20 summit, india argued that it is engaged in growth and development, not conflict resolution. But the issue of the food crisis could not be avoided. As what do you think they could have talked about on the sidelines, are negotiations with the head of the Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation lavrov possible regarding ukraine . They will directly try to talk through. The same lavov, as he becomes rather a representative of putin. Recently, he has been uttering some propaganda slogans and mantras, and he is already used to it, and as for our, our not, our absence, so to speak, it is of course sad, we could. So emotional, but also very rational things about the impact of russian aggression on three key parameters, which are important for everyone, to paint, this is of course russias attempt to actually make food from food a new weapon, to replace energy, russia is losing its influence on Energy Markets, it is no longer a weapon, now food must become a weapon, and here the kremlin will beat to the end, this is of course the effect on prices, on food, on energy products, but also on inflation, and this is actually blackmail that has passed from the energy sector, and the Energy Markets are not working perfectly yet, but unconsciously, really on what people need to eat, zelena revolution can make us more energy independent, but we still need to eat , and hundreds of millions of people cant imagine breakfast or lunch without a piece of bread, and putin wants to blackmail them into not having that piece, ugh, thank you, thank you in the evening , pavlo klimkin, a diplomat and minister of Foreign Affairs of ukraine in 2014, was with us. Western officials and military experts remained pessimistic about ukraines offensive. In recent weeks, some have criticized the ukrainian strategy of intensifying the offensive in the bakhmut direction, rather than in the south. After three months of apparently slow progress of ukrainian forces, the offensive from the ssu is gaining momentum, they say in the west, because the defenders have broken through the boundaries all around. Worked, however, the situation may worsen again for our army with the onset of autumn, which is unfavorable for offensive actions. Despite low morale and disorder in the army, muscovites are capable of waging a long and tiring war. Large human losses were replenished by mobilization and recruitment of prisoners. This is stated in the material of the american publication the washington post. The authors emphasize Russian Troops are strengthening their defenses. In the south and make dense trenches. The renewed attack of the Russian Federation on the previously occupied city of kupyansk looks like a diversion of the Defense Forces from the south of ukraine. In recent weeks, the invaders have made small gains. However, this prompted the armed forces to strengthen the defense of the eastern front. Advancing into robotynys district increases the ukrainians chances of breaking through all enemy defense lines by the end of the year. This was stated by the director of intelligence analysis. Board of the us ministry of defense, trend moll in an interview with the economist, however limited ammunition and deteriorating weather would make the task very difficult, he warned. Even if the armed forces of ukraine fail to achieve a breakthrough this year, but they are able to hold their positions and increase the amount of ammunition, ukraine will have all the opportunities for a new roar already in 2024. But the politiko publication does not predict success from. In the autumn period due to weather conditions. If ukraine does not secure a breakthrough on its Southern Front and pass all three levels of russias socalled sorovikin line by november. By to the negotiations will intensify. The publication also emphasizes the pentagons skeptical attitude to the counteroffensive. Politics is emphasized the allies of both russia and ukraine do not believe that either side can achieve a complete victory. And the United States of america will soon send a new batch of cluster munitions to ukraine. This was reported by the New York Times with reference to three anonymous american officials. Western officials and experts agree that such ammunition is most effective against troops and military equipment in the open terrain, and it is recognized that these weapons will help the armed forces to maintain the dynamics of the offensive in the south. The russian katyusha song in the destroyed mariupol drama theater, blinkens dinner in the capitals mcdonalds and the blueyellow flag over the temporarily occupied donetsk.

A Chinese Opera singer performed a russian katyusha on the ruins of a drama theater in mariupol, literally on the bones of ukrainians, and a group of chinese bloggers came with her. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs demands an explanation from beijing, for what purpose their citizens came to the russianoccupied mariupol and how they got there, because the arrival of bloggers is an illegal crossing of the state border, said the spokesman of the ministry of Foreign Affairs oleg nikolenko. The agency also initiates a ban on entry to ukraine for all chinese tourists, because it considers such actions to be an example of complete moral degradation, with the holiday of rudenka, the blueyellow flag of the zemeyur over donatsk. Since the day of the city of avdiivka, it was launched by ours military the state flag was attached to red and black balloons and it flew over the temporarily occupied donetsk. The invaders traditionally began to panic, because defenders do everything every day to ensure that the ukrainian flag is once again in all temporarily occupied settlements of our country. They worked so hard that they were only able to have dinner at a fast food restaurant, with one french fry for two. Foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba was teasing us secretary of state Anthony Blinken mcdonald, in addition to potatoes, a ukrainian official decided to taste a pie with a cherry, at such an informal dinner, kuleba and blinken were nostalgic for their student years. The titmouse operation took place in. This week the name of the russian pilot who drove the mi8 helicopter into ukrainian territory became known. 28yearold Maksym Kuzminov spoke about his motives and cooperation with ukrainian intelligence. His plane, two apartments and a decent salary remained in russia, at least according to kuzminov. However, the ukrainians guaranteed him a much better perspective, life and freedom. I decided for myself that this is it crime, the most brutal. I decided for myself that i simply will not take part in this. After the special operation sinytsia, the higher military leadership of the aggressor state is somewhat alarmed. In this regard, the fsb has intensified checks, and ukrainian intelligence is already conducting a dialogue with several russian airmen and is convinced that there will be even more such russians. Entice and capture the new russian. Mi8, help clear the serpentine and crimea, deliver weapons and ammunition to the fighters at azovstal. Our scouts are silent every day, making nice gifts.

As of january 1, 2022 , there were 706 libraries in the Kharkiv Region, large, small, rural and urban, but since the beginning of the fullscale russian invasion, many of them have been under occupation. Currently, most of the towns in Kharkiv Region have already been evacuated, but there are almost no Cultural Facilities left after the uninvited guests from russia. How the occupiers, so to speak, liberated the Kharkiv Region from libraries, schools and Cultural Centers. Further in the material of kateryna galko. The whole essence of this war was revealed. Here it is, the first cause of the evil that has now come to pass. In september 2022, the armed forces of ukraine carried out a brilliant special operation, the kharkiv counteroffensive. On october 4, the Bank Reported that our fighters had liberated 483 settlements in the region, but what they saw there was no less horrifying. According to the residents, the russians freed them from all human benefits, including culture and education. He will have to tell it anyway, he lives here and saw it, i did together with him sat on bicycles and went to see the school. He was very upset by what he saw, but we cant do anything, we hope that someday it will be rebuilt. Verbiv lyceum in szczecin was destroyed by two rockets that arrived immediately after the deoccupation of the village. There was also a library in the educational institution, almost nothing remained of it, as well as of all other property. In total , 19 book collections functioned in the balaklia urban community. Now almost none of them have windows, only one Central Library is working. All. Others with employees on suspension it is very good that this deoccupation took place in september, when the cold had not yet set in, when winter had not yet come, so most of the books were saved, of course there is damage, but mass work on rural funds has not yet been carried out, because demining has still been carried out everywhere. In zalyman, on the right bank of the Siverskyi Donets river, the occupiers. Destroyed the Cultural Center with a direct hit. There was also a library in it, of which only one metal shelf with burnt book covers remained. Selyshcha savyntsi, that on the opposite shore was somewhat more fortunate. There, the roof and windows of the library were damaged. However, the building itself stood. However, in the surviving premises, the occupiers decided to restore order. On the first of september last year, yes, if i am not mistaken, we received an instruction regarding the withdrawal of ukrainians. Books, but it so happened that they just received an instruction , someone started collecting something somewhere, the sorting boxes were lying around, yes, but they were not taken anywhere, the Cultural Center in the village of shevchenkove was damaged by 70 as a result of the s300 missiles. Local the book collection, like most in the deoccupied part of the Kharkiv Region, moved to the surviving school nearby. According to the employees, the demand for ukrainian books is growing, among young people, but it was not possible to save the library fund, many editions were damaged by blast waves and fire. And a lot of children come, they take the literature, go out to the park, read, talk to each other, then after two or three times , as long as they talked, they run and hand it in, take the next literature, go to the parking lot, and there everything is in parke is read again. According to the department of culture and tourism. Since the beginning of the fullscale invasion of the region in germany, the Kharkiv Regional military administration has about 197 cultural institutions, of which 31 were completely destroyed. In particular , 67 libraries were damaged, 10 of which were destroyed to the ground. According to approximate estimates, the amount of damages is about 4 billion hryvnias. According to our monitor from most of the deoccupied territories, cultural institutions are working, but. They may not be working there on a fulltime basis, but all the same, if the library, for example, five employees worked there, so they are trying to get at least one or two out of the people, so that the Library Functions and it can serve readers. Library funds in almost every town benefited significantly from the attackers. In june 2022, ukrainian pen started an openended program of support for ukrainians
