the economist, these are newspapers and magazines, they haven’t gone anywhere, some of them have remained as thick, it’s just that people read the press there and they form accordingly the financial independence of these publications, which usually have owners and which usually have their own interests, but in my opinion, they do not promote them the way it is done in ukraine. in our country, telegram channels, anonymous telegram channels are replacing what should be and create media interest for the whole society, why are we in such a situation, it is not very good for us, well that's why what is it possible, mr. yevhen, that the owners of media projects also suffer from the authorities, and now i will not talk about the owner of the media company, but... about the owner, or at least

the head of the investment company concordd capital, ihor mazepa, who was detained at the border, he was driving he was detained by the davos world economic forum while crossing the ukrainian-polish border, he appears in the case as the customer in the case of the illegal privatization of land plots in the coastal strip of the kyiv reservoir, igor mazepa will be established. whether a deposit in the amount 700 million hryvnias, and his brother 500 million hryvnias, and today a trial was supposed to take place that would choose a preventive measure for ihor mazepa, the trial was postponed, and we will listen to what mazepa himself said about what happened to him. this plot of land, which is owned, supposedly belongs to hes and is supposedly a water fund, it consists of three.

with something in the tail of a thousand hectares, and i am charged with the illegal illegal purchase of 2 hectares, not 2, but 2 hectares, and for this, the investigating prosecutor is asking for a bail of 700 million dollars, and hryvnias, excuse me, assessing the hypothetical loss in to the state for 7 million hryvnias. mazepa is a well-known businessman and ... a person who is known abroad, since he has an investment company, and it is clear that he communicates with his colleagues in europe, and in general in the world, again, how can you explain this the whole story that is unfolding before our eyes, and obviously mazepa will not be the last businessman to come under the attack of law enforcement agencies. well, you know, if

law enforcement agencies work like this, then the question arises, somewhere the connection with yevhen disappeared magda, friends, we will now reconnect, sir, sir yevgeny, please speak, that 's how i think they should. to respond to that, well, more effectively, but what is happening in the current situation, well, we have an investment climate already, in the conditions of war, excuse me, it is not blooming brightly, and to say that we have everything, well, there is just a queue of investors , this will be an exaggeration, even he, mr. shurma, said about this that there is no appetite for foreign investors, he said this in vain, and when... during the davod forum

arrest a ukrainian investment banker, then elementary corporate solidarity works, that's the thing , it is absolutely obviously reflected in the various moods of people who will, well , that is, i understood that, judging by the bills, that the investment banker, who operated dozens, made up his mind to carry a certain amount of cash, and he turned out to be so stupid that he obviously has more with him than can be taken out by law, well, i don’t know who it is, who it benefits, it seems to me that it is absolutely not in ukraine’s favor, because the investment climate is unlikely to improve in this way, and who benefits, well , we will find out, i think quite quickly, that the truth is this... a very interesting precedent, when

the collateral is set 100 times larger than the size, it is proposed to set the collateral 100 times larger than the extent of the damages, but... i personally have the impression that mazepa could pay for the damages that were caused, i won't say from his pocket money, but for him to pay 7 million uah was quite a lot, i just want to remind , that in civilized states do not detain people for property crimes, well, with such pathos, if you like, they detain them there for such and such, for crimes that are directed against a person, and... and property crimes, well, as a rule, this is a restriction of freedom, but no, that is, a stay-at-home order or night or some kind of house arrest, so we see a not very good trend, we see that ukraine is seriously losing its

attractiveness in the eyes of the western world, we are losing in various directions, and this is a serious problem, if we remember that during... in just one week, not only mazepa was detained, but they also failed to agree on a bill on mobilization, so i think that many western partners have a question, why do we help them when they themselves cannot concentrate, and i, for example, did not hear initiatives on the sequestration of the state budget in order to provide for some needs of the armed forces. better, did we have such effects of the initiative, although the verkhovna rada this week seemed to be working there, they passed something, and accordingly, i do not hear the topic of what we need the government of national unity to make it work more effectively. we find ourselves in

a situation where our image receives almost daily pre-school blows, and in the form of cars. a goal, as they say in football, and these goals into their own goal, they, well, you know, if you hit the golden goal in the middle of the city of kyiv with a ball, it means not only to damage the architectural memory, but to show that you you just don't understand what they are there for , well, mr. evgeny, well, these are all the stories, they are very reminiscent of viktor's time yanukovych. that is, in relation to businessmen , the ice rink just ran over them, and in relation to journalists, and in relation to other moments, in relation to corruption, why do you think people who came to power at a fairly young age, why do they

turn into those against whom 10 years that's why the revolution of dignity was fought, maybe they just don't know how. read, well, i have no rational assumptions, how people living in the modern world, they do not understand that, as leonid kuchma said, it has already happened, that is, even more so if they, well, we will remember another scandal, they order monitoring there about what is said not only about the heads of state, but about the advisers of the head of the president's office, what they say in the information space, you understand the level, it is called bringing media monitoring to the level of the plinth, if in this way we will seek reviews on social networks, then the next step

, i think, will be to study the inscriptions on the fences, where they are, for example, somewhere in the countryside, you can do a whole, i would say, even a very, very interesting study about who... as comment on the situation in ukraine. thank you, thank you, mr. yevhen, it was yevhen magda, political expert, executive director of the institute of world politics. friends, we work live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. like our video. throughout our program, we conduct surveys. we ask you whether the russian rebellion threatens the putin regime. now we will look at the intermediate results of our voting, because in the second part. programs, we will also continue this vote 32% yes 68% believes that the russian rebellion does not threaten putin, i congratulate you,

dear tv viewers, on the tv channel studio zahid program, we will analyze the most important events of this week, in particular , it is about... the consequences of the davos forum, in particular for ukraine. we will also analyze an extremely dangerous signal from the kremlin, in particular, the former president of russia medvedev said that russia will wage war not only. against the ukrainian state, and against what is called ukrainianness. matthew bryza and mark fagin talk about it on our broadcast. and mark feigen, a figure of the russian opposition in emigration, a former member of the state duma, and a famous video blogger, will be working on the air of the tv channel. glory to ukraine, mark, congratulations. glory to the hero, i congratulate anton, i congratulate all the viewers. well, i would not like to work as a psychoanalyst for medvedev, but he gave an extremely harsh, boorish and dangerous signal. well, the key story here is how seriously we should interpret what medvedev wrote, i don't know if he is from bodun or not

, but in any case he outlined the situation as the preparation of the russian federation to the so-called existential war with ukraine. it is not the first time that medvedev publishes something similar and even more deviant. i will remind you that recently, in connection with the visit of the prime minister of great britain i. ri shunak, he showed a little unpreparedness for war under certain circumstances, saying. first of all, no one stops him from the kremlin, does not refute his words, he is an official, not some ordinary propagandist. conveys the atmosphere of the mood that prevails in the security council in the kremlin, because he is allowed

to make just such a presentation, presumably through him test, provoke, check the reaction that can be to such statements. yes, they are wild, completely infernal. but it's interesting for the kremlin, they like to play like that. such a deceptive game. and what is valuable and important here, because putin himself. two days ago he said things no less dekun, he said that fools do not want to negotiate with us, everyone has heard these quotes, that everything would have ended long ago, you yourself understand, this is his direct quote: we will not give back any captured territories, not even about we are talking about a referendum, but we did not seize it we will give, and everyone understands it in the west, etc. putin also spoke about the baltic countries, which are under threat to national security. alluding

to the war in the baltic states. i would say that, although not in form, but in content, what putin himself declares differs little in aggressiveness of rhetoric. regarding ukraine. first of all, they have already waged an aggressive war in ukraine and are killing people. can we expect more from them, for example, the use of nuclear weapons? it's always a story that has a crazy explanation, but who said the kremlin is irrational his behavior and cannot allow for himself exactly such a course of events. that's why it's worth listening to such words, you need to study them despite the worthless source from which they come, because medvedev's certain sentiments are still transmitted from the kremlin. existential war for existence is already a question of interpretations, because today, too, the question arose without

the use of unconventional means precisely about the threat to the existence of ukraine itself. this is exactly what the kremlin is trying to do, so it is impossible to insist on any promises regarding negotiations, because the purpose of negotiations with for moscow, this is not the consolidation of the status quo, compromises, etc., but capitulation, that is, the destruction of ukraine as a subject of international law, as a sovereign. state as an independent nation. there should be no illusions here, there should be no naive expectations on this issue that moscow is ready to stop at something. no. medvedev said, we will never withdraw from ukraine. i read it in ukrainian and translated it. this is stated by the official of the country, which is a permanent member of the security council in the matter of veto, the founding country of the un, which guarantees, in fact, as one of the five states, that'. such international security throughout the world, on a global scale. this should be perceived as

the real position of the kremlin and its residents. well, the key story, as of now, is how relevant will the so-called collective action be , right? we listened to several extremely important speeches, in particular at the davos forum. yes, we understand that french president emmanuel macron also gave a signal, in particular, it is about supplying us with additional scalp missiles. yes, and we understand that... they have served their time extremely well. we understand that there is a question about money and about a joint strategy, but the key story is how seriously the west has become involved in what... is called military containment of the kremlin, or is it, so to speak, that we are moving along a certain palliative path, that is, the kremlin will relentlessly to increase the production of weapons, if not by himself, then he will borrow it from the chinese or korean republic, well, when i say korean, i mean north korea and so on and so forth. starting from

the autumn, but really from the end of the winter of 2023 , the situation began to change, because... the american administration began to behave more cautiously, it also verbally supports ukraine, but to tell the truth, this delay in the allocation of 60 billion for ukraine and disputes between republicans and democrats suggest the worst thoughts. in contrast to this , europe, on the contrary, somehow became radicalized, not only macron and scholz and some persons from the german leadership despite the decision of the bundestag to retain and not provide missiles. in addition, they generally take a fairly clear position and publicly articulate it. instead, in america, like us we can see the strong influence of the presidential election campaign, which is already underway and will end in november 2024. how it affects the issues of support for ukraine, military aid, the position of ukraine in the west,

especially washington, as the leader of the western world, has a direct impact. even the biden administration, in contrast to the republicans , behaves much more cautiously. there is information from bloomberg that sullivan will convey the position of the white house in davos. it is necessary to move to a positional stage, a defensive position in ukraine, as we understand, by november 2024, while it will not be decided who will be the owner of the oval office for the next four years. this is a strange position for the simple reason that... this is what moscow wants, so that behind this positional defense, change in tactics and strategy, to give it a break, to give it an opportunity to accumulate strength, and then surely no sullivan will stop it from offensive actions, not to mention that there is no plan b. well, ukraine will create defense structures and mine it as necessary to protect the

80% of the territory that remains outside kyiv. but the question is different: and what... if the biden administration wins, they offer some kind of plan for the elections, a rhetorical question: sullivan and in case this happens, maybe if trump comes, this is my point of view, maybe it is better to saturate ukraine with money as soon as possible and weapons, so that for some time, until trump comes to power, after the inauguration in january 2025, at least this year, he could fight normally. yes with support. there are many questions, we will hear the answer to many of them when the senate does decide whether it will undertake to solve the question of allocation of this ill-fated $60 billion,

we will then know whether the american establishment is ready to support it, as before during these two years. geopolitical speed, on the one hand , we understand that the kremlin is counting on the american election campaign, we understand that it will be far, far from simple, to put it mildly, that is , scenarios of certain cannibalism are already beginning there, we understand that the kremlin... is counting on a number of elections in the countries of the european union, to the general fatigue, so we remember his speech exceptionally a strange provocateur, a slovak member of the european parliament, yes, who started talking about the brothers of the slavs and so on, and so on , to reconcile, here we have certain corresponding scenarios that

the kremlin is very clearly counting on, in particular, when it comes to its preparation to different, possibly global things. about global threats, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy said recently, if you try to reduce all this into a single concept, which you see now, for example, medium-term and short-term movements on the part of the kremlin and in general, how will we be to build our, i don’t know , international communication correctly, well , first of all, trump himself adds to the fire, he said that he would agree with putin, that putin is a normal dude, from a business perspective... he evaluates, and this is taking into account the primaries in iowa , where he received 51%, but this is a dangerous signal, that is, he continues, despite the situation, to publicly voice his complementary attitude to... he does not try to silence this issue, to avoid it during the election campaign, no, he clearly marks it. why

does it matter if suddenly he wins on elections, he will say: listen, i did not deceive you, dear voters and partners of the usa. i said during the election campaign about my position that i would come to an agreement with putin, that we would come to an agreement normally, share everything and decide. these are illusions, of course, he is going to negotiate, he is maximizing the result, demanding capitulation, we just don't know what trump will be ready for in the event that he comes to the white house and changes the strategy of the american administration accordingly, another question is whether he able to do this? as well as he himself, he himself says about it, i would agree, but under what conditions to give 20%, and 80%, you agreed, good with putin, agreed, offered this plan to ukraine. and 80% remain sovereign, they go to nato and the eu. this is where i seem to have a lot of

illusions, maybe trump thinks that he is just spraying, here is your profit time, here is mine, he thinks like a developer. he does not cease to be them, even despite the previous first term from 2016 to 2020, in which he was the president of the united states. i like criticism all the time. "oh, poor trump, he has nowhere to go they give, they are persecuted everywhere, and not only has he already served the term of the president for four years, he is going to take it again, and i do not see that he is being persecuted so kindly, not allowing him to participate in the election campaign, at least in the nomination for the republican nomination party therefore, in this difficult situation, after all, ukraine, kyiv needs to act more boldly to try with the american establishment. trump's entourage, at least find out finally what strategy you plan to follow. yes, trump a lot what will be determined, but he will rely on

the congressional majority, which for now will be republican in the house of representatives, in particular. and what is the strategy in the us in the event that a change of power takes place, at least it would be desirable to receive guarantees from the republican establishment, even trump's entourage, that fundamentally nothing will change strategically, that... they will not support in the war with moscow, this is on the one hand , on the other hand, you need to realistically assess the situation, whoever is the candidate from the republican party, the chances biden for today, i don't know what will change , a lot can still change, at the moment it's small, for today we have to get out of it for now, well, we have a year together with the biden administration, and the key story is how to use this right now time, well, in particular, it is about resources, and on the other hand. i wish we could just feel what the kremlin is capable of now. we understand that the kremlin can threaten, but the question of the threat, the question of real ability, is a little different.

the main thing you can get from biden right now is it is clear that it is necessary to continue to fight for these 60 billion, to try to convince both republicans and democrats that they are necessary. it is necessary to achieve this at the nato summer summit, which will be held. can lose and the situation can change radically. membership in nato and coverage by the collective agreement of the north atlantic alliance is, after all, compensation for all those

problems that are already visible, at least until november 2024. this seems to me to be a fundamental key point, if biden does not dare to do so, and this is a historic decision. we realize that the chances of a person in his nineties to stay for another four years are illusory, not zero, but not obvious. maybe something else will change radically, and of course it would be some kind of compensation, the creation of certain guarantees that this tool will help ukraine defend itself in the coming months, or even years. mark, and putin , what will putin do in the current situation , what can putin do and what is he simply not in a position to do, well, i don’t know, due to a lack of resources or certain fears, what can be realized not just some bashkartostan scenario, and what... an additional one, well, we understand how they react very, very much to something like this. it is not even hidden, putin is waiting for the elections. he says the armed forces failed the counteroffensive, the entire

initiative. in the hands of russian troops, this is stated publicly, that is, he does not give up hope that some of the offensive operations will end in success, for example, maryinka, although this is a very specific operation, when russian troops entered an almost destroyed settlement, besides, look, because they more than two tried to attack avdiivka months, no result, before that there was a very acute situation with kupyansk, kupyansk is a knotty road, the road to kharkiv opens. i was in those places, i had the opportunity to see everything directly, i looked down on the split-river, i was in kupyansk, both in the center and in the positions, i can hardly imagine how much effort and resources need to be spent to take kupyansk. i suspect that it is the same in avdiytsia, i have not been there, i really wanted to visit, but i suspect that it is not too easy there either, in the area of ​​the coke plant, you will put another thousand and 40 people to take it all. maybe it is

has a political connotation, he needs to show at least something by march 17 before his elections. this is not to win the elections, it is clear that there are no elections, he is simply drawn by these 80-85%, and it is important for him to control public opinion, that everything is not in vain. look, yes, we are fighting, we are slowly advancing, we want something and occupy, but all the sacrifices are not in vain, all the costs... are not in vain, we achieve some incredible geopolitical success in the long run, protecting our defense capabilities and the like. so putin, of course, despite a waiting position until the election period in the usa is definitely preparing and will start some offensive actions in the east, maybe in the south, in the south it is more difficult, but in the east it is possible to assume. and from the belarusian direction? no, i think he can stand the pause. what is the price? lukashenko is afraid

of what he will do to ukraine and belarus , but he is afraid that ukraine will respond. ukraine already has the means to shoot at his residence, kill someone from his entourage, and no one will hang around like it was in february 2022 . carry out punitive or subversive actions there actions are very simple. who will allow the next attack, and the defense line with belarus is very strong, because kyiv is nearby and everything is mined, so it will not be easy, but on kharkiv, sumy or chernihiv, the question is still open here, whether russia can launch an attack from the territory of the russian federation to these border towns. whether this can be

expected is an open question. in my opinion, such an operation is more likely than an invasion from the territory of belarus. because lukashenko himself will deal with this development of events to the last, because he understands that this is not the case will leave him no chance, he no longer has relations with the west, and it is clear what kind of relations he has with the kremlin. but there is such an unspoken parity with ukraine, you don't touch us, you don't allow new fights and the like.

you conspiracy theory, well, but oleksiy aristovych and his strange interview, strange conversation with latinina, i watched this case and my eyes became much bigger than in latinina behind glasses, even she couldn't stand it. oleksiy began to turn something into a fan that simply does not fit into the concept in general, here you are as a person who is with him worked for more than one hour on the air. yes, i think you read oleksiy himself very well. in general, i would like to ask you what you think is happening with him now. i always, when asked questions, answer for the period when he was on my airwaves. then there were also some shoals, but this is not what is happening now. for the whole year and a half , it was possible to make claims that he said something wrong, said something wrong, but it was still in the context of the general position of public opinion.
