the un in the hague announced a decision in the case in which ukraine accused the russian federation of violating two international conventions on the fight against the financing of terrorism and on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination, and to be honest, we still did not understand what the main assessment could be to give this decision, it is very half-hearted, and not all, as for us from the ukrainian point of view , absolutely fair demands of our country were taken into account, please tell us what exactly... practical consequences this decision will have, if possible briefly. actually, i'm not expert in international law, but we are all realists, and i think it is obvious that these decisions of the international court, they did not live up to the expectations that our diplomats and our lawyers had hoped for, so i think that it is not at all is appropriate. and maybe our diplomats

will take it into account in the future and will look for some other mechanisms in order to somehow influence russia and bring it to justice, because viktoria, thank you, viktoria nesterenko, project manager of the human rights center the change was from we are in touch, and i would just like to add for sure that relying on... often blaming our international partners, international courts, in some decisions, we must sometimes pull our own legal strap, as they say, and not forget that we have fundamental obligations to the indigenous peoples in particular, and the cabinet of ministers of ukraine is delaying the decision to establish the legal status of the medjalis of the crimean tatar people as a representative body of the indigenous people, says refat chubarov, the head of the medjalis. that is, actually majalis. it works, it exists, but

it is precisely the legal basis for its functioning, it is a shameful situation, it has been shameful for a long time, it does not become less shameful because of the term that continues, let's try to talk about it next time and invite mr. orifat personally, maybe he can , thank you for your attention, thank you, it was a joint project of the tv channel and the atr tv channel, together, beraber, we will continue to keep our finger on the pulse, be with crimea. events, events that are happening right now and affect ours life. of course, the news story reports about them. however, it was not enough to know what was happening. it is necessary to understand. antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly assess the events, analyze them, modeling our future. every saturday at 1 p.m.

10 with a repeat on sunday at 10:10. studio zahid with anton borkovsky at espresso. exclusively on the air of our channel. congratulations, friends, politklub is on the air on the espresso tv channel. the most relevant topics of the week. russia's war against ukraine, the war in the middle east, the crisis on the border between ukraine and poland. topics that cause drone attack on kyiv and other cities of ukraine, drone attacks on moscow and other cities of russia. analysis of the processes that change the country and each of us. ukraine should get the right to start negotiations on joining the eu. vitaly portnikov and guests of the project: we are bored because there is nothing to fight about. let's make it up. they help to understand the present and predict the future. for the world , trump's second presidency will already be. project for those who care and

think politclub. every sunday at 20:10 at espresso. greetings, dear viewers. in tv channel studio zahid program. we will analyze the most important events of this week, in particular we will talk about geopolitics, war and the game of special services. our guests today are daniel frith and general alnuk. musaev. our first guest is daniel frith, ex-coordinator of the united states state department for sanctions policy, an american diplomat with over forty years of experience. glory to ukraine, mr. ambassador, i congratulate you. glory to ukraine. glory as a hero. well, we in ukraine are extremely painfully watching how it develops domestic american political situation. yes, of course we have our own selfish interests, but this is the selfishness of people who want to survive. when can there be a positive

decision whether the congress and the head of the american congress will continue to play their political game. almost all democrats, and many, if not most, republicans support continued us military aid to ukraine. however, a small but determined number of republicans, including former president trump himself, still oppose this aid, leading to a huge struggle in the us congress. it is dangerous to follow the policy of those republics. who are against helping the country, they are wrong. i believe this struggle will end when help is sent, but i cannot say exactly when that will be. i have no excuses for the ukrainians.

apart from the fact that our policy is repeating the mistakes made many years ago, during the rise of hitler, when we took our time to intervene. for this i am very sorry, this political struggle in the united states is serious and it is still going on. mr. ambassador, maybe there is any additional tools or leverage with the president of the united states or the american administration. we understand that it is necessary to urgently look for additional mechanisms. well, it's a matter of life and death. there may be additional ones. which the administration can use to provide some military assistance to ukraine, but they will not be enough and they will not be fast enough. for example, i would like the j7 countries to use russian sovereign assets that have been

frozen in the j7 countries, mostly in europe. and they sent them to help ukraine. but this process takes time. the battle in congress is still going on, and i am very sorry to inform you that our policies are blocking much-needed aid for ukraine. it is a shame that the americans cannot do what is right, but my job is not only to express condemnation, but also to explain to ukrainians what kind of situation we are in. i believe that biden will finally succeed. and congress will vote for these funds, but i cannot say this with certainty. mr. ambassador, for a long and extremely long time extremely important decisions were made, in particular, when we talk about the transfer of f-16 to ukraine, when we talk about

the etecams missile systems, right? well, and if american journalists are to be believed, yes, well, a decision of this kind, it depended entirely on. of president joseph biden, president joseph biden has some internal doubts, rather, perhaps he received additional information from the head of the central intelligence agency burns, so it is possible that there are some additional threats and additional scenarios, but this is not a solution was approved even when there were appropriate funds. the united states may provide ukraine with additional ammunition for its artillery. additional means for air defense, as well as equipment, for example, abrams tanks for offensive operations. especially important are anti-tank missiles with a longer range, which would allow ukraine

to attack targets in crimea, putting russian forces in a vulnerable position. all these are key factors in a convincing ukrainian strategy. however, the implementation of this strategy requires additional military support, including anti-tank missiles, so that ukraine can launch an offensive and strike at a significant distance. friends of ukraine in the us, including the biden administration and congress, are aware of this. but the question remains, can we overcome the resistance of some, but not all, republicans? what should we, ukrainians, do to help the administration of president joseph biden convince congress, yes, because we were shocked in ukraine when american parliamentarians went on vacation, almost a month-long vacation, that's a long time. i believe that the deputies

members of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, who will come to washington and meet with their republican colleagues, can really help. the personal presence of ukrainians would be... ambassador of ukraine to the usa oksana markarova is an active and effective personality, people respect her, and they have the right to do so. however, the presence of ukrainians here in... i would not like to consider this bad scenario, but god forbid, if we do, we will not get permission from the congress, as we should do to our friends, or, for example, the european union will be ready to take on himself burden, the financial burden of war, whether the united states would be willing to use european funds to help us with powerful weapons. european countries , especially those in the european union and nato, are going to do more to help

ukraine, they are already taking action, they will produce more ammunition and provide weapons to ukraine to the best of their ability, but they cannot fully compensate for the deficit or gap, caused by the slowness of the american congress in making decisions, and despite this help will come from them. foreign ministers... in poland are already making every effort, and polish president andrzej duda and prime minister donald tusk will visit washington in the first half of march, where they will strongly advocate for ukraine's support. the polish government is very committed to supporting ukraine. your european friends are doing their best, it's up to the united states to get it right. i hope we will. at one time you were ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary. of the united states in poland, so you polish politics you know, and you know ukrainian politics,

as if nothing should prevent deepened integration and cooperation, but very different things appear, which, in ukraine, we react extremely seriously. many polish farmers are worried about the consequences of the appearance of ukrainian products on polish markets. they are afraid that the presence of cheap ukrainian products will push them out of business. so, there is real concern in poland. you are right that a partial solution to this problem lies precisely with the european commission, which is working on finding this solution, including ensuring that ukrainian agricultural products passing through poland are not sold in poland. and she got to where she was needed. at the same time, it seems that... the russians are making good use of this situation. there is some

evidence of russian interference. and i believe that the polish authorities will react decisively to prevent further russian interference. this is a difficult question. the polish government is doing everything it can, and i think the solution will require poland, ukraine and the european union to work together. we we understand that implemented powerful. against the russian federation, but given the situation, maybe there are some additional tools to make the russians feel less comfortable, yes, because trade with india, particularly when we talk about petroleum products, it goes beyond common sense, that is, the russians managed to stabilize their internal economic situation, although it is more likely that in just a year and a half it will go through powerful cracks, so when we talk about... the so-called cumulative effect, well, but maybe there are cases that would be painful

would hit the russian economy right now, what do you think could still be decided? president biden announced additional us sanctions against russia on friday. signals from the administration indicate that they will be directed at the russian military industry. this likely means going after networks of sanctions violators. which provide russia with the equipment necessary for its military production. we can also target chinese companies and hope to dismantle third-country networks that facilitate the re-export of western products to of russia, thus bypassing sanctions. i would like to see even stronger measures included in the sanctions, such as the decisions of the j7 and us partners. j7, on the use of russian sovereign assets to help ukraine. although i don't

expect that to happen in the near future. still, i believe that we will see a package of measures aimed at stopping russia's evasion of sanctions. well, but in any case , we see states that serve the russian economy, and here we are not only talking about iran or north korea, which have started to supply... russia has ballistic missiles, yes, and they fly to our territory, there are a number of countries that serve, openly serve russian aggression, launder. russian money, or supplying russians with dual purpose goods. ukraine has every reason to be outraged over the supply of military equipment to russia by north korea and iran. this morning on american television, i heard radek sikorski, the polish foreign minister,

describe the real scenario for ukraine's success in this war. this script. involves allocation by the united states of funds to help the ukrainian military. with these funds , ukrainian forces will be able to deter the russians on land. however, if we provide them with atakms missiles. they will be able to hit russian logistics and other military facilities in crimea and occupied ukraine. having taken a more advantageous military position, perhaps even before the nato summit this summer. this is a real success scenario. so if the ukrainians deter the russians on land as successfully as they pushed back the russian black sea fleet with strikes from longer range, then it will be possible to see how time will start to work against russia. the russian economy is already in a state of stress. if we can increase

this stress and make it clear to putin that he cannot... win his war, then ukraine's chances for a more favorable end to this war will definitely increase. this is a plausible theory of ukrainian success, which largely depends on the united states. ukraine will be able to win this war with the help and support of its friends in the west. very important words, mr. ambassador, the visit of tucker carlson to putin, we understand that this is... the story is not just about journalistic work, his visit is a kind of mother-of-pearl, which contains several layers at the same time, in particular, the first layer is the message that putin sent to the civilized community through tucker carlson. we understand that putin's interview with a pencil was analyzed in the state department, in european states and so on and so forth, because putin

sent quite clear signals about his cannibalistic appetites in relation to us, in relation to ukraine. the second point is a well-known ukrainian one politician and diplomat roman bezsmertny suggested in a conversation with me that the so-called documents of bohdan khmelnytskyi and his correspondence with oleksii mikhailovich, then the tsar of moscow, yes, which putin passed on, as if for an american audience, could actually be contained in those files something else, and no one, of course, checked what documents or what plans might be there. of course, this smacks of conspiracy, but this multi-layered russian nesting doll is connected with mr. carlson's visit to putin. what is possible to say about tucker carlson's visit to moscow? let's see. first of all , his interview was shameful because he had no idea what putin was saying. he

was clearly not on his plate. he was almost incapable of protesting historical... it was as shameful as the interviews with stalin organized by well-intentioned but ultimately ignorant left-wing western figures. there was a tendency for western europeans and americans to go to moscow without knowing the reality, imagining that they provide some version of a socialist paradise. they projected their fantasy onto moscow and imagined that... had no idea what he

was actually seeing, his visit to a moscow supermarket was funny in its own way. equality, it reminded me again of the western leftists who traveled to moscow and claimed that the moscow subways were proof of the superiority of the soviet system. funny now, but disgusting at the same time. this is a shameful episode. you are a great friend of ukraine, you have not only done a lot for ukraine, but you do everything that depends from you and even a little more, but the current situation. putin is actually sending a signal. collective action, let me bite the bloody pieces out of ukraine, but instead i will not declare, so to speak, the third world war, or... i will provoke further escalation against individual nato states, for example, against estonia or against finland or against lithuania and so on.

this does not make it easier for us, and accordingly we understand that putin's publicized through carlson, his trading position in general boils down to the fact that he wants to continue to sacrifice ukraine. putin is trying to do several things at once. he threatens the west and tries to convince a certain type of americans that... that ukraine cannot win, so he believes that we in the west should push ukraine to an immediate settlement on terms favorable to him. putin is probably counting on the fact that the us congress did not vote to allocate money for ukraine now that he will win. however, two years after he launched a full-scale invasion of ukraine, it is clear that he has not achieved his main goals, which included fast. fighting this ukraine and reducing it to the status of a puppet state under the power of the kremlin. he failed in this. and if the us

gets it right, it will continue to fail. however, he will also continue to threaten the baltic states, moldova, and even poland, hoping to intimidate us in the west into pushing ukraine toward a settlement. we cannot allow this. we have to find. a way to help ukraine because ukraine can still succeed and it will be good to all of us and someone has some plan , well, of course, besides putin, maybe erdogan has some plan, maybe chancellor scholz has some additional plan, so what should we do in a bad situation, taking into account the limitation of our resource base, so the resource base, well that something that allows you to preserve... the lives of our soldiers, yes, that is, in general, this is unprecedented history, to fight with the russian federation without aviation and so on. if we can find

the resources to help with training this year, ukraine's prospects will begin to improve. weapons production in the west will grow, which will give us more weapons that we can send to ukraine. energy production in the west will also increase, making russian natural gas and... oil less important to the world economy and giving us more opportunity to limit them. there is a reasonable probability that ukrainian defense production itself will also grow, including the production of drones and ammunition, both within ukraine and in friendly neighboring countries such as poland or the czech republic. there are different ways ahead in ukraine achieving success, but now we are facing a particularly difficult situation. at this moment, especially in the year of the american elections, if we can overcome this, in particular, if the us congress votes to allocate funds for ukraine,

ukraine's prospects will only improve. 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 daniel frith, the former coordinator of the united states department of state for sanctions policy, an american diplomat, was working for them now. with over forty years of experience.

verdict with serhiy rudenko, from now on in a new two-hour format, even more analytics, even more important topics, even more top guests, foreign experts, inclusion from abroad, about ukraine, the world, the front, society, and also feedback. you can express your opinion on the evil of the day with the help of a telephone survey, turn on and turn on, the verdict with serhiy rudenko,

every weekday from 20 to 22. general alnur musayev, the former head of the committee, will now be on the air of the espresso tv channel of national security of kazakhstan, ex-adviser on national security of the president of kazakhstan. glory to ukraine, mr. general, salam alaikum. glory to heroes. a very important story. the murders of a russian defector in spain, so we understand that there were. the considerable powers of the federal security service, perhaps the foreign intelligence service of the russian federation, that they were able to organize something like this , there are a lot of questions, why exactly he ended up in spain and so on and so on, but i understand that it fits into certain textbook moments and accordingly, i would ask you to analyze this motor case. first of all, it should be noted that kuzminov violated all the elementary rules

of the personal. safety and die from enemy bullets. there are several ways to ensure personal safety in such cases. the first and main bunker method. as we have in the special services, they call him. this method was used by putin before the heated phase of the war. in ukraine in the first year of this war, this is a complete concealment of whereabouts, maximum reduction of contacts, private contacts in case of putin, the lack of use of technical means of communication and all the things that completely hide a person from the outside world, this is what putin used. this method, as evaluated by special services, is modern. cannot

apply this method in modern conditions, but there are common rules that anyone can use, these are primarily two ways: legending their actions, stay and contacts, and secondly, completely limiting contacts with sources, with their connections. which can expose the conditions of a person's stay, but access to a nato country, an armed group, or did they use, for example, their own, i don't know, local intelligence and criminal network? first of all, kuzminov chose a country that is not the most prosperous for personal security, we have spain and many people

know about this, related criminal cases. this is a country where not only the special services, but also the criminal structures feel free. i can give an example from the time when i belonged to the leadership of the special service of kazakhstan. we had such a leader of a criminal group in kazakhstan. ore diamond. don't worry nasenov, he had a conflict not only with the law enforcement agencies of kazakhstan, but also with the sonnevsky group of the russian federation, and was forced to flee abroad. he chose spain. we then sent a special agent under deep cover to find a way to extradite him and thereby save his

life. the employee viktor avyarshin, the surname can already be revealed, was with the red diamond, but the conditions of the country and the conditions of the personal safety of the red diamond, which he neglected, are beaches, walks, calling women to him for fun, all this was easily exposed by the sonevsky group, and he was shot, as well as kuzminov. on the territory of russia it is generally frequent and thick. some cases, such as the assassination attempt on violinists in great britain. there skripal and the special services of great britain secured.
