in general, in the concept, here you are, as a person who worked with him for more than one hour on the air , so i think that you read oleksiy himself very well, in general, i would like to ask you what is happening with him now, in your opinion, i always, when i am asked this question , i 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 you could make claims that he said something wrong, wrong. obliged, but still it was in the context of the general position public opinion of ukraine, the majority at least, fluctuations within the limits of what is called the general geopolitical policy of the pro-ukrainian party, in general, yes, you can review all these issues, they are, what happened to them, what happened to him next, i said in august, when many who criticized me for the fact that i stopped making programs with him, the first alarms have already begun. in the summer, they

scared and alarmed me a lot, because arestovych declared that he had political ambitions, that he wanted to become the president. i don't understand how you can become a president without presidential ones elections, they would not be expected. what did the person rely on? he openly declares this, it is not a secret of polichenelli. it seems to me that a lot of things were mostly dictated by this: i will criticize the government and thereby earn points for my campaign. campaign and we will have something from it. i saw it that way, and now it cannot be explained, because the position is strange, then he and putin want to sue europe and the west, then lukashenko praises him as a great patriot of his country, then he is sorry, he says: eh, no, everything was fine not so, then i scared you, but now i stop scaring you and return to another previous position. such zigzags are incomprehensible to me. i wouldn't do programs with such a person now under any circumstances, that 's for sure. i don't

know what's going on, i don't communicate with him until august 2023. many accuse him of a pro-moscow position, and not least of ties to the kremlin or even the fsb. i don't know that. but i want to say that if you chose such a position, then you should be in ukraine. in kyiv, at least, without saying that it is on the front line. it is necessary to take such a position within ukraine, it is correct. after all, if you are... you emphasize at home, then trust in you is higher, that is, a person sees that this is how it should be. from abroad, it looks somewhat unconvincing, to put it mildly: if you have such a position, then be kind, when you are already applying for the position of the president of ukraine or a ukrainian politician, you must do it all at home. if you feel a danger to yourself, then this also explains a lot. why has there been such a change in views, because the question is not that this position is not liked. and why were you a counselor before that?

of the president since february, the war has just started? the head of the office, as far as i remember , he was an adviser to the head of the office, something like that was written in the certificate on public grounds, he was a part-time employee, you voiced one position, then another position began in 2023, this is somewhat frightening, and this it's strange, you either said something that didn't really correspond...

now it works, well, i understand that this is a question, you know, to your intuition, i think that , firstly, there is some kind of attempt to manipulate , aristovych does not hide it, he says openly, i i don't see a political position here, he went through different stages during his biography, it seemed to me that a person has become wiser, there is a little more to 50 years, a year or two, you need to have some kind of consistent position, i am a person who has never changed his position, why i 've been criticized all my life, i've been single-minded all my life with... always appreciated it in others, principledness, when a person has the same position, holds the same views. this does not mean that you cannot criticize, change the attitude towards people, but in the main matters you need to remain who you are. it is impossible, if you are a supporter of liberal ideology, to become a communist, for me this is nonsense. how to change your views depending on your condition. are you in power or not? why did you go there? you were at public events. it seems to me that there is some kind

of psychological defect in oleksiy aristovych, or something has not been added to him, or he believes that he has been underestimated, in my opinion, there is something personal here. thank you very much, mark. this frank and extremely interesting conversation to our viewers i would like to remind you that mark fegin, an activist of the russian emigration in exile, a former member of the state duma of the russian federation and a well-known blogger, was currently working on spresso. thanks mark. thank you, everyone, all the best. there are discounts on bronkhy pred, 20% in psyllanyk, pam and oskad pharmacies. on january 22, at 7:30 p.m., the vinyl agency will present taras chubai and songs sung by all of ukraine on the stage of the lviv opera. the special guest of the concert is the lviv men's academic choir chapel dudaryk.

, matthew bryza, former adviser to the secretary of state of the united states, former director of european and eurasian affairs in the council, will work on the air of the tv channel. us national security. greetings, dear mr. ambassador. good day, sir. good day. well, first of all, i would like to start our conversation with what happened in davos. the davos forum is a key event when it is about the alignment of the geopolitical clocks of the european union, the united states and what is called gray power. in particular , it is about the financial sector and not only about it. the prime minister was there. china, no one from the russian federation, well, in particular, when we are talking about official emissaries, was not there, but we understand that this story is extremely important, because it is not only a question about finances, it is a question about the medium-term prospects for ukraine and, in general, about

support of our civilizational choices, but russia took an extremely aggressive approach to the davos forum. russia not welcome at the world economic forum in davos, and the russian house, which was once the center of world attention, gave way to the ukrainian house. at least last year , this space in davos was dedicated to the memory of the victims of russian aggression. this is another sign that russia is moving to the background of the world arena. if before she was a desired partner for many countries, then... her status has turned into a rogue. key story how now the european community, america will behave, in particular it is about the biden administration and russia. we understand that there is a very long debate between republicans and democrats, we in ukraine are extremely nervous, if

not to say hysterical, about these intra-american political debates, but we hope for the best. on the other hand , we understand that our people are extremely worried. european allies, yes, because we see how russia is preparing its population for what is called not just confrontation with the west, but possible aggression against certain nato member states, in particular in estonia, they feel extremely, so to speak, threatened. so what is going on here with the united states position and how ready will the united states be? to respond clearly and aggressively in case of immediate danger to the state or aggression against ukraine. we saw on the example of yemen that it is possible to act clearly and boldly. i don't think

there is a particular debate in the biden administration about aid to ukraine. the biden administration wants to provide an additional $60 billion in aid to ukraine, and majority. members of the congress, as i have already said, i want this aid to go to ukraine. there is only a small group of radical far-right republicans who use wishful thinking. to provide this aid to ukraine in order to demand something else from it. in particular, a new policy on the protection of the american-mexico border. during the russian invasion of ukraine , the biden administration provided rhetorical support and was slow to provide military support. always supplying the next type of weapons that ukraine desperately needs with a certain delay such a trend. will probably continue in the future. i do not predict that in the near

future russia will attack the territory of nato, in estonia, latvia or lithuania. russia is stuck in its trenches in ukraine. ukraine has successfully pushed the black sea fleet out of its territory, and putin understands that if he starts military operations on nato territory, it will lead him to a state of war with the alliance, which he does not want. when i... headed the think tank in tallinn after the russian invasion of ukraine in 2014, we were concerned and studied possible scenarios, according to which, as in the case of crimea, russia could send troops there, hiding its involvement, say, the same little green men. these are the scenarios where they claim that russia has nothing to do with it. these troops are occupying some minor administrative centers, and then putin says, it's... russian troops, we've taken over nato territory, are you prepared for a nuclear war to try to liberate these insignificant

buildings? it's not something that makes me anxious or something that's out of line article 5 responses should russia attack nato territory, which could permanently discredit nato. dear mr. ambassador, i would like you to analyze now the message from the kremlin, which was voiced by the former president of the russian federation medvedev on his... ram channel. this is an extremely aggressive text. and it's not that they changed their narratives. so at one time they said that they were fighting, so to speak, with the bad ukrainian government, but not now. medvedev announced a plan for an existential war with what is called ukrainianness and said that it is simply dangerous for ukrainians to be. yes, and presented huge claims, in particular, it is about the occupation of our

country. let me remind you that medvedev is the deputy secretary of the security council of the russian federation. how should we perceive such threats? since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine, former president and prime minister medvedev has looked inadequate, to say the least. because of his aggressive speeches and constant threats against. the use of nuclear weapons, of course, these were just words, but what you are talking about is deeply disturbing, because in my opinion look, it's true. putin, medvedev and the elite of the putin regime have decided that their goal is to destroy ukraine. they said so. putin spoke about this a few years ago in his very long article in which he denied the existence of the ukrainian nation. therefore, putin's goal is to destroy ukraine, but he does not succeed.

why does medvedev speak like that? in my opinion, such possibly sincere, but unattainable goals are connected with the fact that he wants to position himself among putin's elite, as we say in english, trying to be bigger catholic than the pope. i believe that there is no chance that russia will achieve such. however, there is a need for europe and the united states to provide the promised aid to ukraine immediately. and so that ukraine can protect its sky effectively and better than now. it is absurd to expect that ukraine will be able to dislodge entrenched russian forces without controlling the skies. yes, well, in any case , we see some extremely positive signals from our friends in the west, in particular, we are talking about the signatories. a number of security agreements, well, the key one is the security agreement with the united states

the kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, this is an extremely important signal. on the other hand, we understand that there are unpleasant signals, in particular, it came from the federal minister of switzerland, yes, who said, well, it is very difficult to discuss the peace formula, and it will be very difficult to implement it, without having certain negotiating positions with the russian federation. and here we come to the most important, most problematic dilemma, in particular, it is about how we will implement the peace formula and how ready we will be. it should be implemented by our friends and partners and allies, provided that russia will only increase the degree of escalation. putin is virtually impossible to negotiate with, as only a week and a half ago he stated that his goals in ukraine remain the same, which are to de-nazify and demilitarize ukraine, and to ensure

that ukraine never joins nato. when putin makes such demands, and... in his style threatens, they clearly indicate that they are not ready for negotiations. thus, if russia continues to escalate, then of course there will be no negotiations. as far as i remember italy's federal minister said support for ukraine remains strong, but he would like to see talks because everyone wants the war to end. despite this, you can not doubt. we support. ukraine and we want to continue to provide assistance to it, so i am not at all worried about these statements. i believe that in the case of aid to ukraine from the european union, and it will be either at the level of 27 countries, if viktor orbán finally gives in, or as many european leaders claim, at the level of 26 countries the eu, without hungary, will receive aid, and

the more russia escalates, the more aid ukraine will receive. lateral security agreements, i have already mentioned the security agreement with the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, we understand that additional security agreements are brewing. there are certain, so to speak, general phrases and a key story, how such things as, for example, providing the necessary military assistance and so on, and so on, and so on, will be filled. we understand that, well, it will depend on how hard and how far will our security treaty partners be ready? how far i think about the actual presence of nato troops on the territory of ukraine. however, there are some nato members that we talked about that are not under the auspices of nato, can send their own military forces and assets to ukraine. this question

comes up from time to time, and there is no clear answer to what the limits are for certain western partners of ukraine. apart from the fact that nato will not directly intervene unless some nato member states are attacked with side of russia. however, going back to your previous question, the more russia escalates, the more likely it is that some nato member states will intervene on the ground. i also think that the more ukraine can succeed in keeping the black sea fleet away from the black sea, all the more , it will be able to prepare with the support of its western friends to destroy the land bridge between crimea and russia. i am sure that we will see even more help from the countries of the west. former president donald trump demonstrated that he can recruit. he won in the primaries, and won, albeit in

one state, but with a crushing result. well, accordingly , the europeans are very worried. nato member countries, we are very worried. donald trump gives quite strange signals, so in his last interview he stated that he knows how to negotiate with putin and could help zelensky and so on and so on and so on. i am quite skeptical about the promises made by donald trump, but donald trump is, he is the reality of the political life of the united states of the states what can we expect in the coming months? the chances of donald trump becoming the republican nominee are very high. the next primary is tuesday in new hampshire, and he will likely win again by an impressive margin, as he just did in iowa. i think that his main rivals, nikki haley and ron desanis, will drop out and trump

will become the republican candidate. it's too early to predict if he can beat joe biden, but ... that it will happen in november, he has already expressed his opinion several times about effectiveness of nato in the past and has suggested that the united states withdraw from the alliance, but he will not be able to do so because congress has passed a law that says the president of the united states cannot withdraw the united states from its treaty obligations to nato. the senate approves treaties, only it has the power to annul the participation of the united states in the north atlantic treaty. but that won't happen, so the united states will stay in nato. trump aggressively talks about ending the war on his first day in office. if it is removed, which means that he will put pressure on president zelensky to conduct negotiations, even if ukraine is not ready for them, and this

causes concern. on the other hand, let's not forget that it was president trump who, after coming to power, did what barack obama did not dare to do, namely, he provided ukraine with significant lethal aid, that is , anti-tank weapons, after the russian invasion of ukraine in 2000. 14 -mu, so after donald trump, god forbid, becomes president again, he will be limited in the radicalness of his actions, however, i note that he will try to take very radical steps, especially regarding ukraine, nato , and the domestic political system of the united states, his threats to fire tens of thousands of experienced civil servants and replace them with his political cronies appear serious. even if, given the american legislation, it is difficult to implement, he will still try to introduce radical changes. dear mr.

ambassador brydze, finally, i would like to ask you what mistakes there would be in our situation when it comes to ukraine, what would mistakes would be the worst, the most fatal, which mistakes we have no right to afford, to make, well, and accordingly, the key story is also russia's aspirations. to make the aggression against ukraine the longest, not only the largest war since the second world war on the european continent, but also the longest, so we see that russia wants to drag it out in time and involve additional resources from north korea, iran and, possibly, the people's republic of china. in my opinion , it is important that ukrainian society does not lose its fighting spirit demonstrated until now. political differences within the country should not be used to stir up tensions arising from the war. now, more than ever, ukraine needs

to remain united. i support president zelensky that now is not the time to hold elections. certainly not in the midst of an existential war. in addition, i have full confidence that ukraine will win and that we will eventually ... give ukraine the support it needs. if she continues to fight, not only those incredibly brave soldiers, men and women, who are on the battlefield, but also the entire civil society that has united to support ukraine, and if russia remains as demoralized as it is on the battlefield, then ukraine will inevitably win. however , it is important that ukraine preserves its internal unity, similar to the transatlantic unity with which we all in nato must. support ukraine, the biggest threat to ukraine's victory, in my opinion, is the question of our ability to provide the necessary assistance that

ukraine needs to win. god bless america. thank you very much, mr. ambassador, for this extremely important conversation on the air of the tv channel, i want to remind our tv viewers that matthew bryza, the former adviser to the secretary of state of the united states of america, worked for them now. director of european and eurasian affairs at the us national security council. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. the time of our program has run out, stay with the spresso tv channel. my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of this day. take care of yourself and your loved ones, do not ignore air alarms. see you on air. see this week in the program court control with tetyana shustrova. obshu in the dnipro district of kyiv, which was sought by the state bureau of investigation. this is interference with the administration of justice. this is a crime, but how did the law enforcement officers break the law? we have reached out

to the state bureau of investigation for their explanation. congratulations, you are watching judicial control and i am tetyana shustrova. despite the full-scale war, ukraine continues its path to the european union and does not stop in implementing reforms, including judicial reform. and in the process of transformation, the judicial system will continue faces challenges and threats, from often dependent and biased justice to outright pressure on the judiciary from the law enforcement system. today we will talk about how the state bureau of investigation intervenes in the administration of justice in the dnipro district court of kyiv. but first to the news. the son of a scandalous judge of the now liquidated district administrative office. to kyiv, yevhen ablov was arrested on suspicion of premeditated murder. on january 4, 27-year-old ivan ablov was declared wanted. on the 15th, he

voluntarily surrendered to the police. according to the materials. during the new year's celebration in the country cottage, ablov jr., in a state of alcohol intoxication , took a kitchen knife during an argument with one of the people present and stabbed the man in the chest, he died on the spot. so far, the court has taken ivan ablov into custody until march 3 without the right to post bail. it will be recalled that yevgeny ablov, the father of the arrested person, is the former deputy head of the scandalous, now liquidated district administrative court of kyiv. one of the most odious judges. of ukraine. ablov is a defendant in the plivok case vovka about the attempt to seize state power and interference in the work of judicial bodies. bohdan lviv, judge of the cassation commercial court within the supreme court, who has russian citizenship, was reinstated. in addition, the kyiv district administrative court ordered to pay lviv the average salary for the period of forced absenteeism, for the period from october 5, 2022, when it was deducted. we will remind you, bohdan lviv.

turned out to be a citizen of russia, he received a russian passport back in 1999, when he was already working as a judge in ukraine, and at the age of 45 in 2012 year he renewed this document. the judge's family also owns real estate in moscow. the security service of ukraine confirmed lviv's russian citizenship. however, he himself continues to assure that he does not have a passport of the aggressor country. on tuesday, the supreme council of justice dismissed 325. 293 judges were dismissed in connection with the submission of resignations. due to special circumstances, the supreme court dismissed only seven judges, six of them for committing a significant disciplinary offense and one judge on the recommendation of the higher qualification commission of judges of ukraine. last year as a candidate for the european union, ukraine fulfilled four of the seven criteria

required by the council of the eu to maintain its status. in particular, the judicial reform has been fully implemented in terms of holding competitions for judicial governance bodies. with the participation of international experts, the supreme council of justice and the higher qualification commission of judges were updated. but while the judicial system is rebooted to meet the high international standards of justice, the ukrainian power structures operate according to the old schemes (force). last week the staff the state bureau of investigation raided the dnipro district court of ky'. without any court order. urgent search in connection with an urgent case, namely , related to the rescue of property. no court decision authorizing such a search was given to anyone. they came without a court order. the law requires a court order to confirm that their actions, that is, the actions of law enforcement agencies, have legal

grounds. the law usually allows for an urgent search, there is one, but it should to be like that, well, extraordinary, here are the circumstances, here are so urgent that if they are planted, such negative consequences will arise. the investigative actions lasted 5 hours and were accompanied by gross violations, the press service of the dnipro district court emphasizes. at the entrance to the building , the security forces searched and checked all employees of the apparatus, investigators, prosecutors and even ordinary visitors. not only personal belongings, but also the contents of mobile phones and other devices. at the same time, the personal search of women was carried out by men. the main purpose of the allegedly urgent search was obtaining access to the official computer of judge yulia ivanina. according to the court statement. access to the draft of the court decision in the case, as well as to other drafts and court decisions, in which the personal data of the participants in the court

proceedings are indicated, was found and obtained. with. the text of the specified court decision was not announced at the time of the search. the main purpose of the urgent search was to get the investigators access to the official computer belonging to the dnipro district court. as stated in the sbi, the search took place within the framework of criminal proceedings for alleged assistance to a criminal organization. security forces assure: investigative actions are not aimed at exerting pressure on the judge, interfering with the administration of justice and obstructing it. activity of a judge or his performance of official duties. however, it is difficult to call what happened other than pressure. the head of the dnipro district court of the city of kyiv appealed to the dniprovska district prosecutor's office. however, according to the answer, the said appeal was forwarded by the prosecutor's office to the state bureau of investigation. during the search, the investigator took a photo on

his personal mobile phone. the phone text of the undeclared is still pending.
