it is somehow not baked, that is, we do not see any kind of social feedback in principle. well, of course, yes, that's why he doesn't feel the threat and danger from this factor of the costs of the war, that is, a significant number of dead servicemen, losses of personnel. does not occur, this is not feedback. he himself will not pedal this topic, or in any way solve or restrain it. if the people are not indignant, in principle, everything goes more or less normally. judge for yourself, on the second anniversary of the war, zelensky speaks and talks about 31 thousand dead ukrainian soldiers, and multiple times, at least five times as many dead russians. i think the ratio is correct. some argue whether this number is accurate or not, but the ratio is quite real. moreover, western sources paint the same picture. and what did

ukrainian sources say about the losses? here is one single number of losses announced by shoigu in september 2022: 5,900 losses. after that, not a single number was ever called. is it a coincidence, in my opinion, it is not a coincidence at all. that is, the topic of losses is removed from the agenda, strictly is pressed so that it does not sound in any way. look, recently some z-blogger shot himself, as always an idiot, such a bearded guy from the dpr with the callsign moroz or mors, to be honest, i don't follow him, and why did he shoot himself, because his people were poisoned because he said that avdiivka is senseless waste of 16 thousand lives, he repeated the figure that sounded from american sources regarding official losses, that avdiivka, the cemetery of the mobilized, and everything, he was proven, he hanged himself, i think that there... lubyanka's hand

also played a role, maybe not directly but one way or another, this morse or moroz was rinsed by solov'ov himself. accordingly, this is a direct methodology, a direct attitude that we do not talk about losses, losses do not exist at all, they are hidden somewhere, but this topic should not be menstrual in any case, in any form, neither in bad nor in good, you also know, judge for yourself, why don't they put up monuments to the heroes who... there in the cities, i know information from russia, they hide quietly, without fanfare, quietly put, closed, buried, no pomp, no displays on tv, we bury heroes, here we saw in ukraine when hearses go, military funerals go , people gather, stand along the road, we saw it, that is, farewell is a big memorial day, it is a very significant event for the city, small towns of ukraine, because people understand that young people died for sovereignty. for the existence of ukraine. russia

has none of this. in the crack of words, he says in his report that the new elites, and the veterans - who are they? prisoners whom they sent and they did not return. who are these? veterans? who is this elite? you see, that's the difference. if this topic had arisen in russia, and it would have been necessary to respond to it, then of course they would have done something somehow. if the people themselves do not demand answers for these two-year losses, it is not yet known how many will die. many western analysts talked about the fact that he is preparing one or another for himself there, i don’t know about demonstrative or symbolic moments there until the moment of reassignment, but no, we see that the spring-summer campaign is seriously, seriously heating up, i think so, under this there is grounds why else, of course, it is important for putin to demonstrate military successes, but all this is happening against the background of this disorder and vacillation. among allies of ukraine, in particular in

the united states. we see, as we predicted last year, that the election campaign of november 2024 in the usa will not only affect the unity of the ranks, the consistency, and continuity of aid to ukraine. the allies assumed these obligations themselves, and not because ukraine bargained for something. they took these commitments themselves, declared it themselves, for example, about the f-16, about stages and about other types of weapons, about 150 mm ammunition. 1 million ammunition, failed in one word. this does not happen, if you have made a commitment, you are not some subject of international politics who is not responsible for your words. that's not possible here, if you said something, then do it. and what will other allies think? they are already thinking, when after trump's speech in carolina, the europeans, look how they cheered up, due to ... the fact that trump,

who will soon be nominated, at least by the republican party, as the main candidate, but we do not know what will take place in in november, maybe he will win the elections. he says things that really confuse european allies. it turns out that the usa is acting as a guarantor, defender, major western power, leader of the free world. it is interesting, if this is true, then it will probably have a strong impact not only on ukraine, but also on european and other allies around the world. if they cannot agree in congress to provide funds, i emphasize this meager amount of funds, comparing what is spent on others. programs in the usa, then this shows weakness, not strength of this main guarantor, the main ally of ukraine, as well as the main country of nato. therefore , against this background, putin has a tendency, which he sometimes hides, and sometimes not. of course, they

think that the moment is favorable for some kind of attack on a wide front, or on some of its sections, in order to achieve positional success, while all that is happening in the usa. will not end, until november is almost 8 months, during this time a lot will happen, probably the kremlin leadership connects its plans, military plans with this situation, mark, why was it to clean up navalny, the month of february is symbolism , but anyway, well, the person was, you know, beyond the urals, constantly sat or was kept with... i tend to believe the version that i myself expressed before it was expressed by fkb maria povchikh, it is so important a figure within navalny's command system. she stated that some kind of exchange was being prepared. even

if it was not about navalny, a decision had already been reached. exchange is such a thing, i myself took an indirect part in the exchange. "i know all this, they agreed, they did not fulfill it, it was postponed, that is, there are many factors that influence, even random, not that big political ones, but i believe that the west tried to exchange navalny, tried to get navalny out of the russian prison, why did putin kill him, first of all, he kills everyone, they tried to kill navalny in 2020." when they poisoned him as a rookie. in revenge they killed prigozhin, they killed many other people. why didn't they kill navalny in advance? he wouldn't be able to have any influence in prison, and if he were free in europe or america, someone would could

vouch for him. whatever his biography, and whatever challenge he would throw at the kremlin. it's not a question of fear, it's a question. that this is how they see the solution to the issue, they see all problems as nails that need to be driven in with a hammer, and they have no other vision. most of all, they are not afraid of the consequences, before they were somehow afraid, circling, and now they held the elections the way they did, even their own candidate nadezhdin, who was nominated, accepted and not allowed to the elections, although he was a completely controlled candidate, they even in this matter decided to stop'. so why didn't they play it safe in the matter the main opponent of the kremlin, which navalny was. navalny really was an anti-system politician. we all understood with our minds that they would not let him go alive, they

were upset over him a lot. but at one time they released khodorkovsky and khodorkovsky plus minus sat quietly. the point is not that it is quiet, because khodorchkovsky was released after all. at other times the regime was different. now we are dealing with an almost completed totalitarian system, i emphasize totalitarian. let me remind you, at the end of 2013, when khodorkovsky was formally amnestied, i don't remember exactly, i think so the question was why was this done? because it was done at a time when moscow had to depict something with the olympics. at that moment. was the olympics, even then the authoritarian, personalist regime of putin was fighting for some relations with europe, allies, partners. now after the war, after half a million dead there in ukraine, what is the point of portraying something? i can well imagine

the conversation between patrushev, who is the main protagonist of all these cruel measures, and putin in the zvayno dispute, the head of the administration of the president of the russian federation, and krienko, the first of deputy in charge of internal policy. and what should we be afraid of, we are already war criminals, but by killing a person, we solved the problem, prevented disorder in the process. why do we need to depict something? and this proves that they used to depict, and with khodorkovsky they also depicted. putin has changed into a different guise, now he doesn't need to portray anything, because everything fades against the background of the war. one death of navalny turns into an ordinary single death. how many more will be killed in the next two

years? that's what it's about, so it seems to me that feeling this degree, just the reflection became less, that's all. well, but there must be an appropriate answer, so we understand that in a couple of weeks, the procedure for putin's self-appointment to the position he illegitimately occupies will take place, and on the other hand, the issue of recognition, so putin will self-appoint, you understand, with the addition of the murdered navalny around his neck , you understand, and what is hiding our beautiful collective event, how will they address it, dear dictator, or is there a dear person who seized power, illegally holds it by force and so on, that's how it will be like that, or can them? because of this, the whole matter should be removed, for example, from the council of the united nations due to the fact that

they seized power in russia in an illegitimate way. before navalny's murder , the version that simply remained unresponsive dominated. i do not think that we will hear from officials, for example, from the white house in washington or from president macron or anyone else, a direct articulation of the theme of the election and its consequences with an appeal. not to recognize putin as a legitimate president, why? they were then, i think, and now will not remove the justification in the form of the fact that if we do not recognize him as a legitimate president, then how will we conduct peace negotiations? that is, not because they do not consider it legitimate, because they know very well what the elections in russia are, they know very well what this regime is like. for them , the methodology of real politics is much more acceptable in view of the choice of means of response. you will say that it is possible not to recognize, and then to recognize, as was the case with

lukashenka, the situation is different here, because putin is a significant threat to europe, so anger they don't want him. here is a simple example, i and my colleagues talked more than once with senior and junior gutkov, with other people, with representatives of the french ministry of foreign affairs, with macron’s adviser, they also talked about this topic, literally in the fall of 2023, they talked about whether they would recognize or not , how they will react. unofficially, we were told that this issue is difficult and debatable. we asked if president macron could accept the russian opposition as an alternative to the self-proclaimed führer. and the answer was: "no", the implication was that why should putin be dumped. because having recognized some alternative, you take responsibility.

look at the debate between scholz and macron, there is no clear cut. regarding the help to the victorious end, which was announced by the american administration: there is no unity, and this is the main problem. in order not to recognize the elections as illegitimate and, as a conclusion derived from this decision, to start acting, there must be a general unity and position, which is currently impossible. mark, well, i agree with that, this is an extremely important point, well, going back to the exclusion of russia from the un security council, there you can it would be easy to freeze. its membership, so to clarify the circumstances, but, going back,

so to speak, to one or another negotiations, we understand, at one time, when adolf loizovich started to really burn there, himmler began to rush, and nothing was started, with hitler they did not, but then they started talking with himmler, and himmler began to offer, let me start releasing the imprisoned jews in concentration camps, let me change this for you, let me change this for you and so on. well, it all started literally a couple of months before the collapse, but we understand what the kremlin politburo has quite such powerful historiosophists, so they sent it to karls. you know, it is not known what carlson came with and left with some kind of stack, which seemed to contain documents, correspondence, you know, between khmelnytskyi and oleksiy tsar, you know, moscow, and what, what was really there, it is not known if there were any secret plans, proposals , i don't know, vouchers for a couple of billion bucks, who knows who searched that carlson? look, these are all

conversations or long-distance relationships tied to the old relationship. trump himself declares about the readiness and possibility to negotiate with putin in 24 hours on the issue of ukraine. personally, i do not understand what is meant by this. because trump also has a limiter that he cannot go to. putin never negotiates like that, putin always demands 100%, this is his completely different tactic. therefore, negotiating in the cayman islands or elsewhere in the absence

of methodology and principles of agreements is a compromise. and what is a compromise? however, in politics, the price of issues is different than in all claims against him and his eccentricity, honestly understands the rules. business in business - this is monetary costs, and in politics - this is nuclear war. it's a reasonable scale and i don't think they 'll come to an agreement, so it's not time for real negotiations yet. moscow will wait for favorable election results. in the usa, and whether there will be an opportunity to come to an agreement , they will see, but from the point of view of ukraine , let's say, the situation does not change for itself, and in the foreign office it worsens, but again, everything will depend on the opportunities that arise, and they are not foreseen in connection with the elections in the usa. i leave some percentage that

trump will not be able to win the election. mark, you see a moment here, if trump is allowed to... go that far, and no one , so to speak, not a single investigative officer, you know, from the state of colorado came to him with handcuffs, you know, for all the miracles that happened, that means he can calmly drive to the finish line, on the other hand, we understand that, well, in principle, the kremlin would be interested not only, so to speak, you understand, in trump, who is there, i don't know, closes american membership in nato on the continent and removes certain duties. the united states, there is still such a moment here , you know, oklahoma farmers who are starting to take to the roads, well, we see something similar now in poland, in france, in germany, we understand, yes, the energy of the masses, it has always been used quite a lot by the kremlin, quite successfully. well, it is not predictable at all, already here in the american press, in some

publications, they write that the democrats also have their own plan, which is comparable to the storming of the capitol on... trump's victory, that is, unrest cannot be avoided in one case or another. this should also be understood. there is an element of revenge. the republicans who can succeed, ie trump in the us elections, may well seek the satisfaction of revenge for what happened in the 2020 election and the related storming of the capitol. we cannot say for sure how the american society will take it, overcome it. whether or not this split is due to trump's victory, because he is the one who splits. let's even say directly that biden's victory, if he had stayed for a second term, it would not have caused the kind of consequences that trump's return can cause. you see, the return of trump after what has happened in recent years, i do not undertake to predict, because it is connected with the processes that go

deep inside the american establishment, which is afraid of the arrival of trump. maybe the supreme court will take it down or something else will happen, although i think it will be up to the voters, i think this is where american democracy works anyway, the case of john fitzgerald kennedy, so so to speak, it reminds us that american democracy is unpredictable and predictable, of course i don't wish this on anyone, but there are such cases in american history, i meant that they can dare to take radical actions, but this is exceptional... they didn't just shoot at kennedy, they shot at reagan, for example, go find out too. then they admitted that the shooter was a madman. again, these may not be theories of language that are implemented. but there may be impulsive actions of some separate from the tension of the escalating elements inside the camps, which oppose probably, closer to the summer, we will understand where the movement will be, what the dynamics

of the election campaign are, who has more chances, and from this there will be consequences for all players, as well as for the war in ukraine and for many other things, so we have to wait. look, mark, i also wanted to ask you about the next, so to speak, false alarms and the next smoke screen that you... are putting on some or other russian unofficial and official persons and once again they all remind about how ready they were in the kremlin , so to speak , give in, go to a meeting and so on and so on further, but no, insidious johnson, you see, ruined everything for them, we understand that this is delusion and propaganda, but they keep coming back to it. the kremlin uses all the levers. as for individual statements, i would not pay so much attention to them. because the actions and strategies that the kremlin adheres to are important. and this consists in putting pressure in all possible ways, forcing the west to surrender ukraine.

surrender of ukraine can look different ways. first of all, forcing the kyiv leadership to start negotiations with moscow. acceptance of some separate conditions of these negotiations. this is the possibility of using considered. under pressure not only in ukraine itself, but also in the west. and in this sense, about the speaker of the house, representatives of trumpist johnson, quite strange information about his separate connections with business, personalities, chair factory, ugh, is already starting to appear. yes, we have to wait and see. in any case, i cannot imagine moscow not acting. does not use all levers. otherwise, we will never explain

the perversions that are happening with elon musk. because it is impossible to explain it with any normal criteria. why does a person who is engaged in technology and business suddenly get into politics. why should he? he has no other business besides crimea, putin and everything else? why is this a mask? always, in all cases , information leaks out that something was unclean here, that there were some connections, primarily material, that influenced these political issues, changing positions, creating alliances, and so on. see, for example, the role of abramovich. they say that even in the negotiations, in the exchange of krasikov for hershkovich and...

i want to remind our tv viewers that now in mark feigin, a figure of the russian opposition in exile, a former deputy of the state duma, worked for them on the espresso channel. thanks mark. thank you, everyone, all the best. the time of our program has run out, stay with the espresso tv channel. my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of this day. take care of yourself and your loved ones. see you on air.

the search for 16-year-old danylo pyatnytsky, who disappeared under very mysterious circumstances in slovakia, where he lived and studied since september 2023, continues . the boy's mother told us what happened to him liked studying at a university abroad, he called her and... said that he was fine, but on december 22 last year, the connection with him was lost and since then nothing is known about him, he did not say anything at all before his disappearance , at 12 o'clock in the afternoon we talked with him, he says: mom, i haven't slept for almost a day, he says: i want to sleep, i 'll sleep for a couple of hours and call you, i called him in the evening on the same day, his phone was already turned off . this conversation with danyla's mother was recorded a month ago, all of it during this time, of course, we did not stop and do not stop searching for the boy, we immediately contacted our colleagues from the international federation

of missing children. europe, which in turn posted information about danylo on their internet portal. also, a request was immediately made to the police of slovakia. in addition, some slovak public organizations joined the search. here, for example, is a photo about the search for a guy on the website of one of them. we are doing everything possible to find danylo, and we once again spoke with the boy's mother. she also says that she currently has, on sorry, no information. there is no information about the son, none at all, no, well, interpol checked in germany, he did not cross the border, he is not there, he passed, the answer from interpol passed. and let me remind you of the details of danilo's disappearance. there are some very suspicious circumstances in this story. last time , the boy's mother said that in the room where dania lived, after his disappearance, clothes and scattered things were found. i became aware of the information

that his abroad. the passport in his room was torn up, everything that could be beaten, although it does not resemble my son's behavior at all, i don't i even know that such a thing must happen for him to behave like that. the boy studied in bratislava at the kominsky university, at the faculty of management, and lived in a center for children and families in the village of bernolakovo, which is about an hour's drive from bratislava, and he gave him a place to live. from the refugee center , and he lived there, there was also food, well, that is, they also gave him transportation, and he said what he liked, he communicated with tutors, well, he improved his slovak language, that is, he communicated in slovak with teachers of the slovak language, well , he was improving his level of the slovak language, i don't even know what could have happened to him

like this... well, he behaved himself and disappeared, the boy's mother has no idea where her son could be, she doesn't understand at all , how could this happen, but suggests that danya could not have contacted this company, especially after his disappearance it became known that he had not attended training since november, although he did not tell his mother about it, i don't know, we already thought , maybe he is in some company, i don't know, maybe he has some friends who are not very good, no very... decent, i talked to a girl who studied with him in zaporizhzhia, in our city, they graduated from high school, and she also went to this university, and she told me that on the eve of his disappearance on december 21, they met and he said some such ridiculous things, i.e. that the slovak fsb or the sbr is following him, that he has a bug on his phone, i.e. she said that he has some paranoid, well, we were...

she thinks that maybe there are some narcotics with some he contacted the company. so, if you have any information about danilo pyatnytskyi, or if, perhaps, you live in slovakia and you suddenly see denmark or know something about him, immediately call 11630. this is the only european hotline for missing children, which works in 28 european countries. and therefore, if you are in europe and want to report. about a missing child or, god forbid, you yourself have a missing child, do not delay and call the single european missing children hotline 11630 from your mobile phone. you will receive professional help, support and step-by-step instructions on how to act in such a situation.
