collaborators with olena kononenko on the espresso tv channel. the information day of the tv channel continues, well, there is an air alert throughout the country, the enemy has raised its aircraft, so dear tv viewers, be careful, if possible, immediately go to the appropriate premises, fortifications, i don’t know, shelters, bomb shelters, pubs, the rule of two walls , well, do not neglect, do not neglect the warning, yes, and we are already adding to our conversation gennadiy dubov, a political scientist and candidate of legal sciences, mr. gennadiy, welcome to espresso. in our bunker studio, yes so to speak, i congratulate you, so today we have an important visit, polish prime minister donald tusk came to kyiv for the first time in his new post, and we understand that he brought good news that there is also a polish defense package, and there is a declaration of his own poland, the declarations of the group of seven on security guarantees

for ukraine, what do you think about the interaction between the ukrainian and polish governments in general, can it improve, and actually, given the fact that at the moment, so to speak , there is a pause in blocking the border, which will last until march 1, are there any chances not to extend this one blockade, will politicians today be able to reach some kind of consensus and actually solve this issue, well, in principle, the results are brief about these, which i have already said, i would also like your opinion, well, the fact is that, at least officially, this blockade has no origin polish... or the state, this is a private initiative, well, at least that's how it looks formally, of polish transporters, farmers and others who are frustrated there, who in this way achieve their goal or seek to achieve their goal, in particular, in fact, by limiting ukrainian exports of food itself goods and others, at the same time, will the government agree

with these carriers in such a way as not to harm the interests of ukraine, for today... if it looks, well, let's say, doubtful, in addition, it should be noted that the polish government is a coalition government, and in the text of the coalition agreement does not contain all this, unfortunately, there is no such full-scale support for ukraine as in the declarations of the political forces that united after winning the elections, instead there are, in particular , questions regarding the provision of goods corridors from the ukrainian border, in particular to the ports, that is, this actually... will probably be implemented for a fairly long time, and the current polish government, as the executor of this coalition agreement, will be forced to look back, including at those social and political forces, which actually initiate this relevant blockade, therefore, it is probably not worth talking about the fact that it will remain as it is

today, and today, well, it is actually very, very unpleasant and bad for our economy, perhaps it is a little less. there will be some, but still the fact that we will return to what was decided by brussels, and even if it is temporary, but a free trade zone with the european union, including poland, it is also quite frivolous to count on it, because the documents that are available today are relevant and regulate the activities of the polish government, unfortunately they do not give us such hope, so this is a process , let's hope that it ends at least somehow in favor of ukraine, because getting a war on the eastern border... a blockade on the western border, well, actually, so to speak, well, if it's bad enough, negatively, in our situation, even more so. sir gennady, well, the president is introducing a bill on pluralism. citizenship, yes , the story is not new, well, but they bring pluses, minuses, threats , bonuses on behalf of the president, what do you think this will mean, well,

because according to volodymyr zelenskyi , yes, during the periods of various waves of emigration , ukrainians were forced to leave native land, to be in europe, the united states, canada, asian countries, latin america, and this will make it possible for all ethnic ukrainians and their descendants from... different countries of the world to have our citizenship, so we are analyzing, well first of all, there is no draft text yet, so we can only assume what exactly the president has in mind when he initiates such legislative changes, although on the other hand, we don't expect any surprises there, it will be about what a person who receives ukrainian citizenship will not be obliged to lose, accordingly, his previous citizenship, plus there is also... the truth that it is possible to also exclude the norm according to which already a citizen of ukraine, having received foreign citizenship, cannot be deprived of the corresponding citizenship

ukrainian purely in theory, we can assume that ukrainians, who according to various estimates are about 80 million in the world, actually, those who do not have ukrainian citizenship will seek to obtain a ukrainian passport and, in fact, may even come to the territory. the country to develop the economy, win the war, there, etc. , actually, whether it will happen in practice, let's see, here we can only assume and hope, on the other hand, the risks are as follows, for example, the issue of regulating the duty to protect the homeland, it is quite difficult such a delicate question for states that recognize menagenian citizenship, because in fact very often there are situations when one and the same person takes an oath of loyalty to two... clans and bears military duty, as if, well, formally, at least immediately in two states, and such difficult moments are settled on the basis of bilateral agreements, but again, this is time, and while this time will

pass, while the documents will be worked out, in fact, we can waste this time from the point of view of the possible involvement of additional forces, respectively in our strength of defense, thirdly, there is a problem from the point of view of holding civil service positions, will there be restrictions for people who have several passports regarding their actual stay in the civil service there in higher or not quite higher positions, will they have the right to be elected , for example, to the representative bodies of local self-government or the ukrainian parliament, these issues are all complex , they will need to be resolved, but again, the goal is good, president zelenskyi voiced it in his inaugural speech in the 19th year, when in the tribune in the verkhovna rada, he noted that he aspires to unite... the ukrainian nation under the ukrainian flag, correspondingly increasing the number of ukrainians who have this political and legal connection with our state, which is called citizenship. well, look

, mr. gennadiy, it was in the 19th year, when we did not have a full-scale war, and we remember what was the position of president zelensky regarding russia, he said that we should look putin in the eye, and we should stop shoot, but we understand that this is not enough to simply look into the eyes, stop shooting, but i 'm not talking about that, i'm talking about the fact that there are people in... the state who also have russian passports, and i'm just not a lawyer, but to you as a candidate of legal sciences in i have a question: for example, people who currently have a ukrainian and a russian passport, will they already officially have the right to have two passports, may this bill not apply to them, or may there be any exceptions, for example, in this bill, such as is it legal to explain and interpret? well, apparently, we can analyze only the speech of today's volodymyr zelenskyi, he said there, except for the state, the aggressor. that is, it will be like there, for example with the russian language, that there are all the languages ​​of the european union, and the russian language was thus excluded.

there are many such moments here and in our legislation , when we introduce a certain general rule for everyone except russians, respectively, those who will have russian passports, they will not be subject to the changes, and that there will be a separate condition for them, at least it follows directly from what our president said. in this regard, well, there is no text yet, it is difficult to say how it will be done at the technical level, but again, there is a project, there will be a first reading, a second, there you can make changes, edit, discuss, criticize or advise, we will we will deal with it later, when we see the text, mr. gennady, well, accordingly , bigus gate, more precisely, i don't know whose gate it really is, because the scandal is not connected with bigus and his team, but with those persons who committed illegal acts. not listening, video recording and then yes they themselves leaked the whole matter to the internet, they have already initiated several criminal cases, but now i am quoting the head of the national police, ivan

vehivskyi. one proceeding with the security services, the second proceeding, not even one, but four representatives from bigus turned to us, we registered four proceedings under article 182 violation of privacy, they were filed on the weekend of friday-saturday, a number of investigative actions are planned, but the key story, so to speak, is to find, establish and prosecute those persons who have committed illegal relevant actions. business in therefore, here it is interesting who did it after all, if it was done by bodies in accordance with our legal order, such opportunities are available, at least in the same police, in nabu, in the security services, in the sbi, well, in almost all law enforcement agencies, if it was carried out in a legal way from the point of view of its registration, i.e. by the official authorities, it will be easy to establish this, because there must be a court decision on covert investigative actions, appeals courts are only authorized

to give such permits and on permits. it will be possible to find out who received it and in the end, why this happened, if it happens, it will turn out that this is actually some kind of private initiative of people who illegally carry out appropriate surveillance outside of the process, then it will be more difficult here, but again, we have information at the moment that servers with surveillance cameras have been removed and the people who installed the equipment, they were there almost a day before that, and after that they were shining there like that... they officially removed the license plates and installed all this equipment there and then, thanks to it, they carried out surveillance. today there are also resources to, i mean informative, in order to compare faces , to analyze card files, these are all electronic today, and the chances that we will find out who personally participated in the installation of this equipment are high enough, maybe we have to wait, and it is really interesting, because from the outside,

yes so to speak, from the point of view of legal experience. this is not at all similar to the way the state bodies work, accordingly, the operatives of these secret departments would hardly gather in the number of three dozen people, they would take off these numbers and, accordingly, they would install the equipment at night, this it is done differently, much more professionally, we actually have a very rich history, in particular the persecution of officials, when we see filming from the offices, from the offices of judges, prosecutors there, etc., that is why it is rather similar, i suppose my... objective impression, that this is some kind of private initiative , there, conditionally speaking, almost in an artisanal way, some, i don't know, there is a private security or detective campaign, or something like that, whose orders were carried out, and the chances of finding out whether there are orders and who carried them out are high enough , we will wait for what the service will tell us security of ukraine and the police regarding these criminal proceedings. thank you, gennadiy dubov, political scientist, candidate of legal sciences, was in touch with us and we actually

discussed with him the arrival of donald tusk to ukraine. volodymyr zelenskyi's draft law on multiple citizenship, and also about the situation with the persecution and hearing of the bigus-info team. well, in the meantime, in the meantime , we have the opportunity to add oleg penzyn, an economist and member of the economic discussion club, to our ether. welcome, mr. oleg, to espresso. yes, me too congratulations and sincerely, by the way, i congratulate you with a happy holiday, so in the grand scheme of things, today is exactly the day that is both festive and with arrival. mr. tusk also somewhat interesting things, so i congratulate you, in turn, in turn, respectively, news from donald tusk, who is now in kyiv, so poland has joined the declaration of the group of seven countries on security guarantees for ukraine. thus, the purpose of the declaration is to mobilize democratic countries in support of ukraine. president zelensky's direct speech now. we discussed

poland's accession to the declaration. g7 is grateful for your willingness to start work on a security agreement between our countries, well, i would like to believe that the ice has broken, and accordingly, so to speak, the misunderstanding between our countries that has been in the past couple of months will be able to be resolved now , the potential is actually extremely large, and accordingly, dear mr. penzen, i would like to ask you about your vision, where we can make money together, yes, because well, when everyone starts counting one or another of their losses, well , it's not good... it proves where poland and ukraine have great prospects in mutual cooperation, well, in particular, there is a story about possible joint defense projects. no, look, uh, having a perspective in cooperation and earning together are a little different things. so, to have joint projects in the field of defense and...
