Russia "tries a forehead" with a possible new government in Kyiv, using as a translator of the Kremlin ideas of a local pro-Russian politician.

According to censor.NET with reference to Liga.net , this is stated in an interview with the president of the Russian invader Russia Viktor Medvedchuk, Reuters.

"If the new president of Ukraine makes an agreement with Moscow, he can within a few months restore the control of the temporarily occupied Donbass, get cheap gas and large investments from Russia." This, de-facto broadcasting the wishes of the Kremlin, speaks to Medvedchuk.

According to him, Moscow allegedly "has no expectations" over who will win in the 2019 elections - the current head of state Petro Poroshenko or showman Vladimir Zelensky. Earlier, the Russian authorities have repeatedly stated that the RF "needs anyone, except Poroshenko."

"They want to see what will happen next, who will be in his (Zelensky) team, what he will do and with whom," Medvedchuk said. According to him, he met Zelensky only once "8-9 years ago."

According to Reuters, the main objective of the Russian Federation is to return the enthusiastic Donbass to Ukraine on Russian conditions in order to obtain a relaxation of Western sanctions. But Zelensky even said that he "wants to peace" and "breathe new life into the negotiations," declares that, like Poroshenko, he does not intend to comply with certain paragraphs of the Minsk agreements.

Kum Putin says that while Zelensky "is going the wrong way," but "there is hope that he can change his position after electing and immersing in this topic."

"Maybe he will come to the conclusion that for peace it is necessary to do this, no one says about the need to go on deeds or give something. We are talking about the need to return people and the territory," says the interlocutor, who is interviewing, in line Kremlin propaganda.

Medvedchuk claims that in order to conquer Ukraine's new power in his scenario, Putin "may not mind liberating the Ukrainian seamen as a gesture of goodwill" and letting billions of dollars from Russia into the Ukrainian economy if economic relations between the two neighbors who were violated by sanctions will be restored ".

"We do not say we need to kiss or embrace again," he says on behalf of the Kremlin. "We are talking about restoring pragmatic economic relations."

According to Medvedchuk, peace agreements on the Donbass, if the future president goes to the conditions of Moscow, can be achieved "within a few months" and implement it "for six to eight months." Negotiations, he says, should be conducted "between Kiev, Moscow, Lugansk and Donetsk".

"It is necessary to sit down and talk, it's already written (in the Minsk agreements), you just need to determine the order of action," he said, adding that this would result in the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of several laws and amendments to the Constitution.

Medvedchuk agrees to "advise" Zelensky on this issue if he becomes a president and says that his party "Opposition Platform - For Life" is potentially ready to cooperate with him, scaring at last the "deterioration of economic life."

57 well-known Ukrainian activists made a statement on the second round of the presidential elections in Ukraine, which called for not to vote for a presidential candidate, Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to Valeryi Pekar, co-founder of the public platform "New Country", according to censor.NET, this is on the page in Facebook.

"The second round of the presidential race is a choice between the two candidates, and now the voice of each of us is important, because it is a vote for the victory of only one of two, and we have no other option." The current format of the second round is the result of a skillful manipulation of public consciousness. all tired of economic hardships, irritated by corruption scandals, we are constantly worried about the war.This all became a good ground for the promotion of a new "alternative" candidate, but choosing an alternative only makes sense when it's true I, and if it leads to change for the better.Other is not always better.Is there really another alternative, a new and unsystematic candidate, whose independence there is reason to doubt? We should understand that such a president will be advantageous, first of all, by the oligarchs who will be able to to realize all his plans through him ",

"Does the candidate, who promises to change everything at once, without any consideration of the consequences of such changes, adds to the confidence? We all want to see a sincere dialogue with the authorities, but can one expect from a candidate who, during the whole campaign, hides from communicating with the press and from debate with our opponent Now that each of us has to make a conscious choice, we need to put our achievements over the past five years on the scales of weights and those risks that go for a candidate we do not know anything about. Each of our voices will affect May Today, as we have never before, we stand before the choice between preserving the state and the illusions imposed on Ukrainian society by oligarchic media, "added Oddyvlya.

The election of Volodymyr Zelensky is the election of a weak and non-independent President. Such a choice jeopardizes not only the economic development and safety of our children, but also the very Ukrainian statehood, "the members of the public platform emphasized.

"Five years ago, we came out to defend our European future with the desire to get rid of Russian imperial oppression." Our task today is to maintain our choice. "EuroMaydan was our referendum on the EU and NATO. We know about all the victories and disappointments of the last five years. That is why we will demand from the current President Petro Poroshenko the renewal of his team, the reformation of the NACC and the anti-corruption prosecutor's office, changes in the personnel policy in the security structures, the reform of the electoral system of Ukraine, the approval of the strategy occupation of Crimea and the implementation of other important steps. Achieving these goals related to the urgent expectations of the Ukrainian people,"- said in a statement..

"We are convinced that the election of the President is not an experiment on Ukrainians, but the choice of the future Head of State and Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces for the next 5 years. Therefore, we believe that every Ukrainian will once again be conceived before placing a mark on the ballot. its priority is the European future of an independent UKRAINE!" - summed up the "One-minded".

If the election campaign develops at the current pace, then Petro Poroshenko loses the presidential election not so much off as today.

This was in an interview with censor.NET said general director of the Kiev International Institute of Sociology Volodymyr Paniotto.

"The questionnaire survey, which was released on Tuesday (25.4%), was conducted from April 9 to 14. Most of it was until April 14, when some events took place (Poroshenko's action-stadium at the stadium - ed.) And this the survey is not representative every day, and phone surveys are representative every two days.These polls showed that the difference between Poroshenko and Zelensky slightly decreased.However, the telephone survey is less representative, because it does not include some categories of population, because we carry it out on mobile phones. Previously it would be The combination of mobile and stationary, but over the last 5 years, people massively abandoned the landline phones, now they have less than 15%. Therefore, we conduct a survey on mobile, with a share of the population (7%) has no mobile phones, and among the 93% that we poll, more Internet owners

At the same time, according to Paniotto, the available data show a tendency that for the last week Poroshenko's rating has increased by 7% and may increase to 35-40% if it is to the same rate.

"In this case, he loses not so much margin as we can see. This will happen if there is no surprise before the election," the sociologist explained.

Commenting on the tactics chosen by the two candidates for the presidency, the head of KIIS noted that, in his opinion, if Zelensky avoided the scourge, he would keep the gap in the percentage that was after the first round:

"It seems to me that if Zelensky avoided comments, but without the shocking things he does, and the 19th would simply come to the debate, there would not have been a decrease in the ranking. Quietly, the debate would take place. The electorate of Zelensky would have decided that he had won And Poroshenko's electorate - he won, and the ratio would have survived after the first round."

Patriarch of Kyiv and All Russia-Ukraine Filaret appealed to believers to vote in elections for the preservation of the Ukrainian state, for its independence and freedom.

As informs censor.NET, the appeal of the patriarch is published on the site cerkva.info.

"Ukraine is experiencing the moment of difficult tests, and it is precisely its existence as a state that the Moscow aggressor occupied part of our lands, our soldiers are dying at the front, and the church prays for the integrity of Ukraine and for the lost heroes." The church prays for victory and for the unity of the Ukrainian people. unity can not be achieved victories over the invader and preserved the civilizational choice of Ukraine, our commonality with Europe. As the Scriptures say: "Every kingdom that divides itself into one's life will be fading; and the house which is divided in itself will fall "(Luke 11,17)", - says the appeal of the patriarch.

Filaret noted that the church prays for the Lord to give wisdom to our people "to make such a choice during the current presidential election that would preserve our Ukrainian state, secure its sovereignty, integrity and future."

"Our people want to save Ukraine, for which nearly thirteen thousand of its defenders have been laid, preparing for the second round of elections, we will pray for them, we will show with this prayer that we deeply honor their sacrifice. We ask the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven to the dead heroes, we pray for healing the wounds of thousands of wounded in this war, praying for their families and loved ones, so that God gives them strength to survive the pain and loss. These losses are not in vain because they are incurred for our freedom, for our homeland, for our future, "the patriarch stressed.

At the same time, he added that the church is concerned that in the campaign "sowed a bunch of discord and uncertainty in the future, the memory of the heroes of Heavenly Hundreds and our soldiers is neglected. We hear statements against the European choice of Ukraine that endanger national security. to Ukraine itself, the culture and language of the Ukrainian people - is unacceptable.

Some media during the election campaign offend our Church by using expressions such as "re-patriarchates" of the Ukrainian Church, received from the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Tomos on the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, for which the current President has been very busy, called "thermosom". Similar words are disdainful about our joint achievement, which gives spiritual independence to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

On the other hand, believers are disappointed with the inadequate progress of our society towards truth and justice, outraged by corruption, lack of genuine justice, and deep social dysfunctions in society. Still unpunished killers of Heavenly Hundred, murder and activist attacks have not been investigated. The church is saddened by this state in the country, and praying for its government, expresses the demand of millions of citizens to take a course on genuine reforms, to build responsible for the people of the state. It is this course that will prevent the restoration of anti-Ukrainian forces and will strengthen Ukraine in the fight against the Russian aggressor. Our believers want to hear about it today, they crave truth and justice."

In addition, Filaret especially emphasized that the future President, fulfilling the requirements of society, should now show how he will make significant personnel changes in the system of government and law enforcement agencies, will make a radical reorganization of the judicial system, the prosecutor's office, the electoral system, and will actually clean the state from corruption. Only then will the country become firmly on the path of truth, justice, democracy, a genuine, not declared, European choice. On the side of truth and justice, we will have the blessing of the Lord.

"We must remember: where the truth is - there is God, and where God is, there is a victory! At the elections, we must vote for the preservation of the Ukrainian State, for its independence and freedom, for which our best sons and daughters give their lives to the Donbass," - summed up Filaret.

Since 2016, the level of poverty in Ukraine has fallen and has returned to the pre-war level, but Ukrainians do not notice it.

This was in an interview with censor.NET said general director of the Kiev International Institute of Sociology Volodymyr Paniotto.

"The situation deteriorated very strongly with all indicators in 2014. In 2015, it was more or less stable, and since 2016 it has improved." Therefore, the situation behind Poroshenko is better than people think about it. "Poverty fell over three years and returned to The pre-war level is 10%, but people believe that everything has deteriorated and continues to deteriorate, which is one of the reasons why Zelensky appeared.

It clearly shows that people have a big difference in self-esteem of their condition and become other people and the state as a whole. People say something like this: "This year I was good, and the past was good, but all other people are just horror." People see individual examples and can not estimate the overall percentage of the poor or its reduction from 20% to 10%,"- he said.

Asked what is needed to make the Ukrainians feel a real improvement in their well-being, Paniotto said:

"Hard to say, this is one of the parties of democracy. After Maidan, the media began to work differently - negative information became more valuable.

In addition, an information war lasts. 25% of social network users still sit in Contacts and Classmates. Also, distorting the real picture leads to the irresponsibility of politicians who are fighting to destroy each other's authority. If only Boyko or Murayev spoke negative, then there would be no effect, because in half of Ukraine they have a low level of trust. And if this is said by the squire people... If Tymoshenko declares that she will block everything so that Poroshenko can not escape, Gritsenko says that Poroshenko covers the people who must be shot before the system. Poroshenko accused Gritsenko of stealing the army. It does the informational background. That's why the racing leader had 12-14% year-round. Not much and much was needed in order to pass this line and get the first place."
