Vitaliy is also President and Editor-in-Chief of the Ukrainian television channel TVi http://www.tvi.ua (Partial basic translation) - 0:10 Is the world community and Ukrainian community/diaspora doing everything that it should to help EuroMaidan? - 0:31 I will answer this question as a Jew. In difficult times, the Jewish community in the United States and the Jewish community in Canada has always come to the aid of Israel. - 0:46 It seems to me the time has come for the Ukrainian community in Canada, which is first of all a modern community which has shown how to build a contemporary state, (to ask) is it disconnected with present Ukrainians (in Ukraine)? It seems to me Ukrainians in Canada are unable to find themselves in Ukraine (connect with) because you had dealings with people who were from unmodern times. - 1:11 Right now on the streets of Kyiv are an unbelievable number of genuine modern people. Modern from a moral perspective. Modern from the perspective of solidarity, helping one another (fellow people), treating others with respect. You have to be an organic component of this development because you are that part of the Ukrainian nation that has already moved forward.
