President Volodymyr Zelenskyi announced an all-Ukrainian poll. It is going on the 25 of October together with local elections. Ukrainians will have to answer 5 questions. But nobody knows what the questions will be. Zelenskyi promises to voice one question every day.

One of the questions will be about the legalization of cannabis, say journalists. President raises this question so that young people come to the polls for the election, say political experts. And of cause, President believes that these young people support his party. For him it is very important because his party has low support.

By the way, an all-Ukrainian poll hasn’t legal force it's just a poll.

Ukraine has to buy and use Russian coronavirus vaccine says deputy Alexander Kachura. He believes Russian vaccine will help Ukraine fight COVID-2019. Earlier deputy Victor Medvedchyk met with Russian’s President Volodymyr Putin. The politician told Putin that his family and he were vaccinated Russian coronavirus vaccine when they were in Crimea this summer. He claimed, his family and he didn’t have any problem with health. Medvedchyk asked Putin to give Ukraine a vaccine. After that, one part of politicians who focus on Russia urged to buy Russian vaccine.

However, there is one problem with this vaccine. It has not been tested on humans. Never know if it helps to fight virus or causes complications. In the world, doctors asked Russia wouldn’t use new vaccine until it is tested. In Ukraine experts also said, that Russian coronavirus vaccine could be dangerous. Ukrainian officials expect to get coronavirus vaccine from Europa when testing of vaccine will be finish and results will be optimistic.

Although Russian-oriented people trust Russian vaccine and want to use it. Doctors warn that they may have problems with health. In addition, Russia wants to test the vaccine on Ukrainians, without payment, without compensation, add experts.

Former president of Ukraine, deputy Petro Poroshenko was hospitalized. His wife Maryna Poroshenko reported that he has bilateral pneumonia. He is in a hospital in Kyiv. Petro Poroshenko continues to fight the disease, says his wife. A few days ago, former president reported his coronavirus test was positive. Actually, last time more than 10 deputies got a positive coronavirus test. Verkhovna Rada stopped working. Deputies had to go for self-isolation.

Maryna Poroshenko told about situations in Kyiv’s hospitals. She says it everything is completely bad. Hospitals have problems with medicines and special equipment. Also, there are few free beds for patients. Money from a special fund for COVID-2019 governments is spending on road construction and ignoring problems with medicines and special equipment.

In Ukraine, the situation with a coronavirus is deteriorating. During the day, 4661 people fall ill with COVID-2019. This is an absolute record. Medical experts predict that we will have 9000 new patients a day in December. In Ukraine, there may be a collapse

We are going to Egypt. Our travel agent gave us some advice.

First, in the hotel, we can give a not comfortable apartment. The receptionist expects to receive $20 for a better apartment. We know of such a possibility. We had the same situation in Turkey. We got an awful apartment on the ground floor. There were wet and dark. Of course, I demanded to replace the apartment because we had booked others. But the receptionist didn’t hear me. The problem was solved when I said, that I paid for a better apartment.

Second, we shouldn’t give passports to a tour guide. Why? Because he can take them and don't give passports away until we buy the tour.

Third, we should say that we were in Egypt otherwise the tour guide will constantly offer tours :)

Ukraine should break ties with President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko says a journalist Yuri Butusov. In his mind, there are three reasons for this. First, Lukashenko did not win the election he seized power. Second, he gave Russia war criminals, who killed Ukrainian soldiers in the Donbas. However, Ukraine asked   Lukashenko to return these criminals to our country. Besides nine of these criminals are citizens of Ukraine, reports Yuri Butusov. He doesn’t understand reasons why Belarus gives Ukraine’s citizens Russia. Belarus is the enemy of Ukraine because it works together with Russia against Ukraine adds Butusov.

Third, Lukashenko said that he might invite Russia to Belarus at any time. This means that the territory of Belarus can be used to attack Ukraine, says Butusov.

In Ukraine, numbers of people with coronavirus are growing. During the last day, about 1600 people fall ill. This is an absolute record. The Minister of Health Maxym Stepanov prognoses that the second wave of coronavirus will come to Ukraine in October. Our country prepares for this – buys the necessary medicines and equipment, reports Stepanov.

Besides, government officials divided Ukraine into special zones – a green, a yellow, an orange, and a red. Each zone has quarantine requirements. The green zone has not strong requirements. People only should wear masks in public places. Strong measures wait for people in the red zone. All shops, café, and other businesses should be closed. Public transport must be stopped. But towns which are in the red zone refuse to perform with quarantine rules. Mayors say that they cannot close businesses because economics will have a real problem.

However medical experts believe that official people are to blame for the increase of coronavirus. These people ignore a quarantine – don’t wear masks, visit café, violate social distance. That’s why ordinary people violate a quarantine too, add experts. As a result, the incidence of coronavirus is growing.

Ukrainian politics is quite different than European. Our leaderships think that people will vote for them if they have in their teams famous people, for example, singers, actors or comedians. It is not anything special. In different countries, famous people support candidates and call for them to vote. But only in Ukrainian politics these people not just support parties, they take part in the election as real politicians. Doesn’t matter that they haven’t special knowledge or do not have any programs. They go on the election with slogans for all the good and against all the bad. They believe that people will choose them, because they are cool. For example, today the comedian Sergii Prytula has reported that he would like to be the mayor of Kyiv. Maybe he expects to be able to repeat the success of the President of Ukraine Voljdumur Zelensky, who also used to be the comedian. But the same cases finish not always happily. Singers Sviatoslav Vakarchuk and Zlata Ognevich left the Verkhovna Rada, because work was too complicated for them.

That’s why in my opinion singers should sing and politics should be done by professionals. Maybe then Ukraine will start to develop.

Ukraine can give water to the Crimea in the event of a humanitarian catastrophe, a Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmygal said. Ukraine always will help Ukrainians wherever they are, he added. Earlier the Prime Minister spoke about a possibility of water supply to the Crimea, but deputies and political scientists criticized him.

The new statement of the Prime Minister also was criticized by political scientists. They suppose that Russia is the occupant, that is why it is responsible for people's lives in the occupied territory. These meanings support international conventions.

Ukraine should not help Russia, the political scientist Yuri Romanyuk says. Russia will consider these actions as a weakness and it will begin to destroy Ukraine, he adds.

Many scientists believe that the Crimea has enough water for people, but it has a real problem with water for the military industry. If Ukraine gives water, it will not be used for people. Besides, Ukraine will not be able to give water to the Crime even it will want to do this, because special systems have not been used for a long time and need repair, the political scientist Petro Oleschuk says. That’s why all conversations about water to the Crimea are only conversations, he adds.

The first President of Ukraine, who has headed the negotiating group on Donbas recently, Leonid Kravchuk ready to go to the occupied territories for speaking with the locals. This trip can take place when hostilities will be stopped, Kravcyk reported. In his opinion, Ukrainian politicians should visit the occupied territories and speak with people to stop the war. He believes that ordinary people don’t want to begin hostilities, that’s why the first President thinks, Ukrainians will be able to agree and stop the war.

The statement of Kravcyk was criticized by political experts. They reminded Kravchuk, that Ukraine does not recognize the independence of the occupied territories. Nobody with official people didn’t visit the occupied territories. Political scientists are sure, if Ukrainian politicians visit the occupied territories, they will admit them as independent countries.

Earlier, Ukrainian official people said that they can discus the return of the occupied territories with migrants. They are convinced these people are patriots. Besides, they are interested in returning the occupied territories, because they left there property, businesses and often relatives and friends. That’s why four migrants have started to work on the negotiating group recently. Although this idea is not supported by Russia and representatives of the occupied territories.

Leonid Kravchuk reports, that Ukraine is ready to compromise, but representatives of the occupied territories don’t believe it. Furthermore, they accuse Kravchuk of trying to break the agreement.

The leader of the party «Voice» Kira Rudyk was criticized after her statement, that Poroshenko is an enemy

Former President Petro Poroshenko is a bigger enemy then President Volodumur Zelensky, said Kira Rudyk the leader of the party «Voice». Many politicians have criticized this statement, especially those who support Poroshenko. They say, Kira Rudyk doesn’t believe that deputies Medvedchuk or Boyko, who present the party «Opposition Platform - For Life», are enemies, and this is strange for the party, which declares Ukrainian’s ideas. Many politicians believe that, the leader of the party «Voice» is working for the Russian forces.

In fact, this is not true Kira Rudyk doesn’t support Medvedchuk or Boyko, political experts say. They believe that Kira Rudyk doesn’t understand the difference between the meanings of «a competitor» and «an opponent». Poroshenko for «Voice» is «the competitor», because both parties have the same voters and share the same ideas, political scientist Victor Taran says. They compete for voters’ support and Poroshenko wins in this struggle. Of course, this situation irritates Rudyk, that’s why she calls Poroshenko an enemy, adds Volodumur Gorbach.

Zelensky is «the opponent» for the party «Voice», because they have opposing views on the development of the state, Taran says. That’s why «Voice» joined the opposition.

Understanding the difference between the meanings of «a competitor» and «an opponent» is very important, political experts say. In the future, this knowledge will help Kira Rudyk to avoid misunderstandings, the experts add.

Kira Rudyk’s statement will lead to a drop in ratings for the party «Voice». By the way, only 2,6% of voters will support them at the election which will take place on October 25, says the latest sociological research.

How is Ukrainian politics different from the European one?

They say Ukraine is Europe, but Ukrainian politics is different from European. 

First of all, we have a lot of different parties. Department of Justice registered 349 parties. But only 17 parties are registered in the UK. In Ukraine, every politician wants to have their own party. That’s why they register parties that no one has heard of. For example, have you ever heard about parties, which are called «25» or «Friends»? I am absolutely sure – that you haven’t. Their founders don’t want to cooperate with other politicians and to lead the country to success together. That’s why almost all these parties are of the leadership type: when the leader leaves, the party is dying. For example, Sviatoslav Vakarchuk was the leader in the party «Voice». When he decided to go away, because he was tired by politicians, politicians started to lose the support of voters. Now this party has a real problem with support. Political experts believe, «Voice» will not be able to win the election. 

Second, Ukraine politics is characterized by populism, when politicians promise something that they will not be able to do in the future. For example, in the last Ukrainian election, the party «Servant of the people» promised to raise teachers’ salaries to 4 thousand dollars. However, when this party won, they forgot about their promise. European countries also have populists, but they don’t get power as in Ukraine.  

In short, Ukrainian politics is different from European one. Our politicians want to get power, and for this, they are ready to lie.
