two years have passed, the espresso tv channel has still not been returned to t2. during this time, neither the government nor the officials took responsibility for the outage. the spress team has repeatedly appealed to the president, the cabinet, the national security and defense council, the national council for television and radio broadcasting. however , we did not receive a clear answer to who and why limited the broadcasting of the channel... this is pure censorship, this is a violation of freedom of speech in ukraine, because indeed today on the t2 network, on the button on which the tv channel was broadcast for 10 years express, the rada tv channels are broadcast today, the rada tv channel is a state channel, it is a participant in the only news marathon, and instead of express, people who still use and watch avta-2 tv, they can watch the only news marathon again, which today.. .. turns out, if i am not

mistaken, on eight or nine tv channels, yes, that is, they do not have access to information, to alternative information, to various mass media, to such an independent tv channel as espresso. state special communications explained the reasons turning off espresso fifth and direct from digital broadcasting. alleged implementation of the march 2022 decision of the national security and defense council on a unified information policy. this body and others have denied their involvement in the shutdown of tv channels. this document also does not regulate our disconnection, because there is not a single word written about the need to disconnect someone, to switch, there is no word espresso, there is no name of other tv channels that were disconnected together with us, so this is pure manipulation , and we still do not have any explanations, justifications, why this happened, why this illegal action took place two years ago. the petition about... resumption of broadcasting of the channels

was registered in april 2022, in a few months it gathered the necessary number of votes, but the appeal remained unheard, whether the tv channel will be returned to etr, the government did not answer. a year ago, the international human rights organization reporters without borders called on the ukrainian authorities to resolve the situation as soon as possible and return the tv channel to its full potential, because broadcasting restrictions tv channels does not speed up our accession to the eu. in march. in 2023, the us state department rated the press of ukraine as partially free. in particular, the report discussed the situation with the espresso direct and fifth channel tv channels. we do not fulfill any requirements and conditions of the european union in order to be accepted there in the end, as we work or try to work according to them. rules and

laws, canons, skills that are acceptable and logical in the free world, and when we don't work according to them, this, of course, distances us from the free world. return tv channels to the digital air of t2 now depends on the ukrainian authorities, according to the director of espresso, because of such illegal actions , our state has been taking steps against it for two years. away from democracy and freedom of speech. we are doing our best to bring our victory closer and believe that we will definitely win. but if the authorities do not admit their mistake and return us to the digital air, there is a great risk that in the future we may turn into russia, because the attack on freedom of speech in russia began precisely with the restriction or liquidation of media. due to disconnection from t-2, our channel lost about 40% of the audience. however,

espresso continues to be broadcast on the internet, in cable networks, on two satellites in ukraine and abroad. we are actively developing on youtube and social networks. this audience already exceeds the figure we lost then, but still we continue to call on the authorities of all the officials responsible for this to return us to the digital network, because not all ukrainians today have the opportunity to watch. thanks to cable networks, satellite and the internet, they are still waiting for us on the t2 network, therefore it is important to return the spress2 tv channel with the simple goal that a is democracy, b is freedom of speech, c is european values, most importantly, people have the right to have access to diverse, not always convenient, information for someone, for an individual, some kind of policy, they don't say for the authorities, maybe not convenient for some certain people, but this is the information that is just journalism, and we give what is reality. we are preparing people for certain

things that are inevitable, we are talking about what is happening and what can be. we asked ukrainians what they thought about the shutdown of espresso and their attitude to the single marathon. dignity falls and that says it all, it is necessary that everything should be, a person must have a choice, he must choose, i have a negative attitude, this is an alternative, different channels, different views, so i don’t see any problems not to show them on t2, the more that i know the rural, especially the area, there were a lot of users, they watched expresso, i have a bad attitude. why? well, because there are channels that cover the news from all sides, including despite the disconnection from the digital network, the espresso tv channel continues to broadcast information. the espresso team informs the audience about all the important events, and the war correspondents, risking their lives,

document the crimes of russia. and we are still waiting for the channel with a ukrainian perspective to be returned to digital. bring espresso back to the digital air. there are discounts on dolgit cream and dolgit gel of up to 30% in the pharmacies of the traveler you and the saver exclusively on the air of our channel. greetings, friends, politklub is on the air on the tv channel espresso. 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 causing resonance in our society: drone attack on kyiv and other cities of ukraine,

islamic state, they are preparing to sew with such threads the ukrainian trail to what happened in crocusity. yes. yes, but i can say that it is not necessary to seriously discuss the version of the ukrainian trace at all, no only because it was obvious from putin's first statement, 19 hours after march 22, that there was a window... there was one at the border, everything had already been discussed here, there was no window at the border and the car with the performers was moving in a completely different direction to the belarusian border, statements about some cryptocurrency accounts that are connected to ukraine, this is very funny, but you know, for me, the publication of april 2 in the washington post played a significant role, it reported that it turns out, however, without denying the information from by american special services, russian two weeks before the terrorist attack, which contained not only an indication of the organization that was going to carry it out, wilayat khorasan,

a network cell and affairs, was also called the place, the step of city hall. the russian ministry of foreign affairs reacted, they say, in a huff. stop it, if it's thrown in, you show the documents, refute, give some kind of confirmation that the materials provided by american intelligence did not contain references to crocusihall. and if there is no such proof of one's own. from the russian special services, then many questions arise. how come you knew the organization places, who prevented you from closing all these places in moscow. do you lack strength and means? so you wanted this terrorist attack to happen? did they allow that it would take place, did they want to take advantage of its results to blame ukraine? i'm not talking about the fact that they say that the west stands behind ukraine, that is, it should also bear it. so why should the west, which stands behind ukraine, supports it in the war and is

an ally, inform in two weeks where this terrorist attack will take place. no, from the point of view of law, or from the point of view of criminology, nothing is possible to explain they don't care, mark, it feels like they don't care, the so-called formal or healthy logic doesn't work there anymore, that is , maria zakharova puts on what she wants, or what she is told to put on patrusha. unfolds the scenarios, so to speak, which were pointed out to him or which he sees, well, we understand, that is, everything is already happening to them somehow like a drum, so it has been like that for a long time, but here the matter is already serious, they are trying through attention with compassion of some countries that sent telegrams in the name of putin, also naming its president, with sympathy for the russians and russia, to get some gain, such as a way out of isolation or a diplomatic trick they can pull off. they nullify this possibility by continuing to accuse the west and

ukraine of complicity in this or even complicity in the terrorist attack. then it is simply impossible to continue the dialogue. the minister of defense of france spoke with the minister of defense of the russian federation shoigu. they emphasized once again that ukraine has nothing to do with the terrorist attack. in general, we realize that putin and patrushev know that... this is not the case which, of course, they know, they cold-bloodedly decided for themselves, yes, we don't care, we need it for our utilitarian purpose, we will say that there is a ukrainian trace, but it works only inside russia, they say, there is some revival in the military, apparently 16 thousand submitted applications under the contract, but it is impossible to verify this figure, no body, official department will report the truth. figure, is there really a big influx or not, but in domestic politics, yes, there is

a survey, almost 50% of respondents in the russian federation believe that ukraine has a relationship to the terrorist attack, and from the point of view of the west, and the main interests are now directed there to pressure kyiv to go to negotiations, there precisely public rhetoric regarding the involvement of ukraine and the west in the terrorist attack will not help moscow, there they will have to choose, well, my eyes are troubled... there are moments when they choose something that may indicate the need to launch a full-scale, even more full-scale war against ukraine, that is, as far as i understand, now they are still trying to maneuver, but in any case, a few very important the signals that came out of the kremlin offices indicate that they are preparing for a possible escalation, maybe some negotiations are still going on, so we understand that the americans are still undecided, is this how they give us 60 billion in military aid? they don't give credit or not credit and so on and so forth, that is, the story is being trampled on in place, because we feel that putin

draws out some scenarios, the americans see other scenarios, but the war continues in any case. when we are talking about an even more full-scale than in these more than two years war, then we assume that the object of putin's interest is kharkiv. this is an understandable attempt, this direction is used to make some big city much bigger than kherson. take at least one regional center. this is a logical continuation of what is being done in this direction of the front. kharkiv was called odessa. odessa is smaller, because the military landing and the rest look somewhat fantastic there. if we assume that this is kharkiv, then yes, all efforts, all necessary resources are directed there. and even president zelenskyi, who recently said that carrying out a new mobilization, on june 1 called the recruitment of 300,000 additional personnel in the form of

those mobilized in russia as the goal of capturing kharkov. the point is that in anticipation of it. of national security of the bainen administration, bet on negotiations, to force, to persuade, to persuade kyiv to go to negotiations, to get some kind of pause until november, until the elections are held, god willing, biden will remain on them, although the result is not obvious, then to solve this issue after elections taking into account the situation. it will be possible to solve many things, but how to november hold on, today is april,

april, may, june, july, august, september, october, at least 7 months. well , this is a window of opportunity for putin, and he is now trying to use it, yes, while they are counting on something, maybe sometime in july, or maybe we will re-vote after the holidays and so on. putin, we see that he is going in a specific direction. so it is, of course, he will take advantage of this confusion. congress, the house of representatives, through groups of trumpist republicans, is blocking the passage of the corresponding draft law, which would allocate appropriations. they are trying to get their own dividend in the elections from this situation specifically. the biden administration blames. look,

they are blocking aid to ukraine and thereby harming our national interests. why do we solve the issues in favor of american taxpayers, american voters, so let's combine these issues with the policy of illegal migration, that american taxpayers do not want to foolishly give money to ukraine, so let's make an interest-free or open-ended credit. this does not make ukraine any easier. ukraine is not at all a party that has anything to gain from this. if both sides met in a political duel for the sake of victory in the elections, then for ukraine there is no such resource, this opportunity, no spare time, because the war does not tolerate lunch breaks, from this point of view, some other ways should be proposed, apart from ukraine's direct entry into the negotiations, then somehow solve

the issue with europe, with the pentagon directly, it is clear that ukraine needs to hold out. to november, and if trump wins the election, does the us administration have a plan b? as i see it, there is no such plan, so of course the situation is not easy for ukraine now. if we take alternative scenarios, we understand that there is a so -called geneva track, the chinese will go there as observers, we understand that this is a story, perhaps not a strategic one, but in any case they have already started talking about the fact that, in principle, no one would strongly and did not rule it out. moscow acts through many of its confidants and through open public ones players, china is such, in particular. after all, what is china declaring now? that moscow must participate in the negotiations, that negotiations without moscow have no force. by

the way, i am not sure about this, and if it were negotiations about ukraine's accession to nato, it should be, too. the problem is not in moscow and not even in ukraine, the problem is in the west, what is he ready to do, what is he not ready to do? well, in the swiss format, with regard to zelenskyi's peace formula, which provides for the preliminary conditions of negotiations, this is the liberation of the occupied territories. suppose moscow would take part, even if this condition were removed, let's assume this, but is it possible to negotiate with moscow in its current state? is she ready for diplomatic or other compromises? let them show it to me. suppose they would throw it in public, it must be done in public. but it must be done publicly,

it cannot be done in such a way that lavrov hissed sullivan, said something to someone, no, there must be a public signal, why public opinion in ukraine is not ready for this, sanctioning the start of negotiations between zelenskyi and putin is not ready there is no feeling that you can start. but if there was some catch, some possibility to announce that compromises are possible, but there is none, i am sure that it is not by chance that there is no such thing, so that in no case later they would say, as it were, that we assumed obligations, were ready to implement them, but could not during the negotiations. no, moscow does not take such commitments ahead of time, it insists on points about geopolitical realities. demilitarization, not joining nato, security conditions, language, etc., we called it many times. therefore, even if russia comes

due to china's insistence on switzerland and china will be an observer there, it would not change anything, especially until moscow clearly and directly declares its readiness for compromises and determines the direction in which compromises are possible. without this, no format, even initiated by china, because there was a statement. the ministry of foreign affairs that they also want to hold a conference, and istanbul offers itself as such a point, but so far no movement is visible. and if we talk, for example, about the parameters of moscow's ambitions, their key story is getting back the table of big politics, so that it is impossible by definition while the war against ukraine continues, well, accordingly, what would the kremlin be ready to exchange, what, so to speak, things would they be ready to go for, well, in particular, that is, they. they freeze, withdraw the troops, and instead , some, i don't know, another great civilizational history begins, where russia is returned, or not. i do not see any compromises on the part

of moscow, that it is ready, it is ready to exchange everything for air all the time, well, we will conclude an agreement on our terms, and then we will not go to kyiv or kharkiv, according to putin's memorandum of december 21, and that's it, and then we won't go to the soval corridor and storm moldova. first, who will believe moscow? who will believe that she keeps her obligations like a normal person. only military force is created to implement such agreements, if there are nato soldiers standing everywhere, then yes, there is nowhere to go. well, that's the first thing.

second, these proposals are negotiable. although they have already been rejected, in particular, in relation to putin's memorandum back in january in the 22nd year on the eve of the war, only following the results of the war in ukraine. how to talk with moscow now about a major security agreement if there is a war in ukraine. is not completed, it is impossible until agreements are reached regarding ukraine, all other agreements are impossible, because precisely ukraine, if it is occupied, if it is surrendered to the eu, will become a platform, a platform for further attacks on eastern europe, from this point of view, first negotiations here, how far ambitions go, moscow extends its ambitions to where... these are concrete things, we see games around transnistria and chisinau, could there be an attack on chisinau from moscow,

just as there was an attack and aggression on ukraine, so could it be on moldova, why not? next, do they want to break through the suval corridor to their enclave in the kaliningrad region? of course, what they want, they declare it directly, can they implement the same ambitious plans in transcaucasia? well, of course it is. president macron and his game: marc, how do you see it and how far will the french president be willing to go? what refers to shoigu's conversation with the minister of defense of france, presumably, that is, i certainly do not know this, what is hidden from us is not the public part, the conversation was about the french contingent that should be sent to ukraine and about its safety there, as i understand it i imagine they are probably trying to hear the answer from russia, is it ready to provide security? for example, will they be in odesa, will it be some kind of military base, will it be fired upon by missiles? apparently, the conversation was about this. and it was publicly reported that they discussed the consequences of the terrorist attack,

ukrainian should and others. security issue, but it seems to me that the main thing now is this issue. macron is playing his game, it is very important for him to finish it, because why did he announce this on february 26 and talk about it many, many times, repeated, called, held negotiations, public discussions, responded to moscow's claims, do you remember the phrase about the fact that we also have atomic weapons, this should end up somehow in politics, in general, whoever says something and does not implement it, at least partially, at least ritually, is strong. loss. actually, i am i suspect the game is on. macron's doctrine consists of at least a ritual presence in ukraine in order to be able to accept for himself the main role in ending the war in ukraine. it is clearly moving away from the us because the united states is in an uncertain position in connection with the elections and a possible victory of trump in them in november. and france is largely taking advantage of this weakness of the political situation for the united states and

its role in europe to highlight its... that is, he says: we will place 500,000 french legionnaires. naryshkin says: up to 200 on the territory of odessa, so you won't fire rockets, right? moscow says: no, we will not fire, and it fires, and macron will find himself in a situation where he will have to justify the death of the french military. the situation shows that the kremlin has no internal inhibitions left, that is , some processes that they were afraid of within the russian federation, so i think that it is possible that they are now using the slaughterhouse in crocus city hall for pr purposes, yes well, with your goal, if in the event of something certain trends begin, well, conditionally speaking, if the mobilization and the next phase in the russian federation do not go well, then you can twist, twist, twist again and

go at full speed. on stalin's rails, but the question is, to what extent will this system be ready to withstand this stalinist vibration? the totalitarian system moves exactly according to its pattern, repression is growing, it is obvious, and they have no other option, because repression is a part of such systems. according to the old saying: fight your own so that others do not they were afraid, that is, repression is like a machine of a ministry, some kind of industry, it has to work, it had to. if he doesn't have a job, then why is he there, this whole power bloc, he needs to be given a task, the task of getting rid of disloyal elements, interpreting and interpreting who is disloyal can be very broad, and from the outside it is war, they export war, and what else do they have to export, because then the justification appears why putin is unchanged, why his children, the closest entourage should change him,

because how, who can we... trust such a burden in the form of a war with neighbors, we have the task of imperial expansion, it does not matter whether it is real or mythical, then the power reasonably remains eternal, as in north korea, there without militarism, the regime is ideologically lame, and so there is always the threat of the usa, south korea, the destruction of the north korean republic, the experience of marxism and jucheism. and here, of course, the system is drifting towards the final.

another thing is that ukraine has an independent interest, because ukraine, that is why such a war is impossible, for example with kazakhstan, because it is important for moscow to defeat such an alternative, slavic, more western, to show that slavs cannot live except in the pan-slavic space that moscow represents. the slavs of the former ussr cannot , first of all, ukraine become part of the western anglo-saxon world, otherwise it will demonstrate an example that without wars you can live normally, even well, take care of your own country, without aggressive plans from the outside, because this is exactly what will happen to ukraine if it joins in the eu and nato. and where to ukraine?
