occupied territories. they are all shouting out loud now. looking at the arrest of ivanov and the details that have become public, they are all burned. because they see very well that all this, the so-called restoration of mariupol, is all a huge financial scam and looting. in fact, this is not so bad, because it shows the terrible depravity of the entire putin system. of course, i would like to make some of it. conclusions of citizens who look at it in russia. well, unfortunately, i don't have any hope that someone will come to some conclusions too optimistic, and if we talk, for example, about role-playing games now in the kremlin and around putin, that is, you mentioned that the strengthening of patrushev will mean the strengthening of the war party. on the one hand , patrushev is primarily the fsb and the rest of the russian security forces. and in this sense

of the word, he is the key figure of the war party. but at the same time , a completely unexpected turn of events cannot be ruled out. why? because, of course, patrushev is a supporter of the whole concept of the destruction of ukraine and the conflict with the west, but at the same time it is quite likely that he can insist, or at least propose a scenario or at any rate an operational game around a ceasefire scenario, this is quite possible. here is the problem. in which we do not see any from the side of the military directly, who should actually put putin on the table some successes on the battlefield. which of these militaries offers a long-term military strategy for this war? that is, what to do? we read, and everyone sees it, of course, that the kremlin is going to storm kharkiv or capture odesa, or maybe it is going to go to the banks of the dnieper, everywhere. all these are political fantasies, they become reality even inside.

russian policy only if there is a military plan, so big changes in the power structures are possible here, and depending on who is there and how they will end up, we will then already focus on what future scenario will be offered by both the power structures and the army structure of putin, accordingly, this will determine the scenario of the war. well, in any case, this is a kind of operational war plan that is lying on putin's table. it boils down to the old formula of marshal shapushnikov: advance before the end of the offensive impulse, that's how they classically formulated the whole thing. we understand the offensive impulse, it is one or another russian military personnel and equipment, but when this case is completed, they would like to make one or another attempt to nullify the results, or vice versa, for example, try to make one or another cease-fire, i do not know , is it really so, i ... i don't know with what blood putin

will be ready to attack now, but in any case, are they now preparing for even more large-scale actions, or would they like to, in your opinion, after all hold the current level escalation and aggression, well, the shelling of peaceful cities with ballistic missiles with cluster munitions is a war crime, and we also understand that this fits into the strategy of intimidating very specific residents, very specific... in recent days, i have been watching, reading what they write, following news and military summaries and comments of military experts, i am inclined to the opinion, i have a feeling that after all, it is necessary to focus on a possible major offensive by the kremlin, that is , an attempt to organize a breakthrough, why, because on the one hand it is clearly visible that such a tactical a tangible success, first of all , would look good for the kremlin against the background of the upcoming american elections, that's the first thing. secondly, it

would look good against the background of european solidarity, which is now actively forming and has been forming all these six months. that is , the kremlin in such a situation would show the usa and europe, well, no matter what you do there, no matter how hard you try, we still achieve a tangible result, and in this sense of the word, yes, the temptation is very great. i think putin is preparing for a convincing offensive, but at the same time , let's emphasize that at the moment we ... see those military capabilities with which the offensive can be carried out, because when it is written that 20-40 thousand soldiers are ready to storm kharkiv, this is again an unrealistic number for such an attempt, and it is obvious that the general staff should insist on having 1,000, 200 thousand just to try to take a big city. and among other things, i have no doubt that the russian military leaders will weigh the consequences of the scale of civilian and vlas casualties. a story with

a big, even bigger mobilization in russia. they are afraid on the one hand, on the other hand, well, large-scale offensive actions, they involve an increase in the number of personnel, but there is also such a sociological issue as the level of absorption of corpses by this or that society, so we understand that at one time this threshold was lower, for example, during the afghan war, during russian-chechen war, it was also lower, here we see that this threshold has risen and hundreds of thousands have already been killed... and no noticeable, i emphasize, noticeable, socially important reaction. yes, this is an important issue. in fact, you can't treat her like that. of course, the kremlin is cynical and knows no moral boundaries, a dictatorship, but besides that , you can't look at it too lightly. why?

because it is clear that putin says to himself that he seems to be waging a war to minimize casualties. that is why shelling, rocket fire. but this is an attempt of meat mine assaults. summer, around which a great conflict arose, which led to the prigozhyn rebellion, is a kind of wound on the body of this whole putin military concept, war machine. and it is obvious that putin and his closest entourage are afraid to conduct mobilization and to organize a large offensive, precisely because behind them is already a rather ineffective attempt to break the ukrainian front at the expense of a mass raid. will putin bet on the offensive? a difficult answer to this question, because, after all, apart from the strengthening of the war party and patrushev now and apart from the possible creation of the defense council, we, of course, see at the same time a large, that is , a continuous inflamation of this ultra-patriotic propaganda in russia, that is,

if the kremlin wanted to move towards an armistice or not to carry out a major offensive, not to press for it result, then most likely they would turn up this faucet, this gnotic, the presidential administration... would turn it up a little, but i don't see it, and everyone who observes it, everyone sees that, on the contrary, the degree of pressure on cultural figures who speak from anti-war positions, the announcement of all famous people as wanted, that is, an attempt to shut everyone's throats, and vice versa, to let as many supporters of a long war with the west, that is, not only with ukraine, to the top as possible, is very noticeable, it is clearly growing, well, such a collective pressure has taken over the discourse, so with the other side we saw that tucker carlson, well-known media personality, he interviews dugin. what do you think this means, yes, because then durov, then dugin, and before that, of course, the kremiv führer? i think, i think that tucker is continuing some kind of

line that is being constructed for the possible arrival of trump, and that line is this. let's look at who is in russia, not from the point of view of the liberal-democratic opposition, not from... from the point of view of supporters of the democratization of russia, let's look at the people who represent, feel the discourse by the udder, relatively speaking. yes, quite precisely, that is, with whom to deal with, if, for example, we decide to move to a policy of containment with the russians, accordingly, it will be necessary to accept that they have some ideologues, politicians, that is, the point is that tucker is talking to dugin, the next step is to conditionally find some figure in the federation council or in the state duma of the russians. and also do an interview, showing that it is clear that such a person will not be against war or a supporter of eternal peace with immanuel kant, on the contrary, tucker is going to show the line with which he continues it is necessary to deal with it, if we admit that the russians in this form should sit back and

trade with iran forever, this is the logic of the meeting with dugin. and dugin played tucker, he played quite thoughtfully, and as many write, he portrayed a non-orthodox lunatic... persistently portrayed something that should please the extreme right wing of the republicans, that is, he portrayed a principled critic of liberal democracy, i would say not orthodox, but radical- individualistic positions, i.e. positions of texas isolationism, conditionally saying, so this is a pretty important event. that is, in this way, dugin goes beyond the boundaries of what is called the russian fascist discourse, and tries to build it. certain bridges of understanding, well, conditionally speaking, yes, well , in practice, for, i don’t know, six months, a year, and so on, that is, demonstrating that in fact it is about an attempt to form a new order based on right-wing values, right-conservative values, so i completely

agree, yes it is, this attempt, no wonder, because many , knowing dugin, automatically continue to believe that this is a demonstration of russian fascism, really the idea is ... to demonstrate that there is a group with a proven position, in the future, that would accommodate a republican administration, with recognizable, anti-liberal, but perfectly acceptable rhetoric that does not devolve into ... into madness. yes, that is , fascism with a human face, relatively speaking, that is, which can be sold or converted into some generally established and understandable forms. and if we talk, for example, about the real influence of dugin and this entire codla, which perhaps somehow shape what is called, i do not i know, the discourse of the ruling party in the kremlin. all the same, it is necessary to proceed from the opinion that the kremlin does not rely on the concept of sovereignty. shmit, for example, not on the philosopher ilyin, not on, as they once wrote , shchedrovytsky's methodologists, who influenced the

presidential administration. all the same, we can clearly see from putin's texts, which he pronounces and which he publishes on his behalf, and from what patrushev says, that before us is simply without any deep philosophy, as before, a classic discourse really from the soviet kgb textbook ussr regarding foreign policy, it is very rough is a level lower. indeed, different proactive intellectual groups come up with something, some to justify a union state with belarus, others to justify eurasia in general, others add various materials for something else, some a slavic idea, some, on the contrary, humil ideas of commonality with the horde, central asia, but at the same time , regarding the whole party of the war on the mountain, i have doubts that they read ilyin at least carefully, they simply rely on a specific later'.

dugin has a new campaign here, which never ended in the kremlin, an attempt to grope partners in his philosophy, so he makes a clear move in this. now they constantly write that the kremlin has only iran, north korea and... china will not join that axis of evil and the kremlin will remain with iran and the dprk. in response to this, dugin appears on the screens with the help of tucker and informs us: "no, we see ourselves also as part of the west and want to see partners in the west, but , however, with an anti-liberal right-wing ideology, we are ready for dialogue." characteristic moment. have already moved to the doctrinal phase of what is called preparation for

of an existential war, or is it currently only a so-called rhetorical figure of aggression against ukraine? now, at the beginning of the february aggression of 2022, the very beginning of the entire blitzkrieg clearly demonstrated that this is exactly the format of the war. the purpose of which is the destruction of ukraine as a state, the overthrow of the government and the complete transformation of the government. after that. there came a period when the kremlin lost the initiative and could not pursue it, formulated the goals of the war in a different way, began to throw in different ideas that the goal could be this or that. but now we are again in a situation for more than six months, when the kremlin clearly says: this war is existential, that is, a war either, or, that is , either us, or them, or us, or the west and ukraine, this is a matter of life and death, in fact, this is the main obstacle, even for those, .. who would like to initiate some peace talks? if you take the vatican or india or

china, they all focus on this, because the kremlin, to any attempt to ask what is the meaning of the war, answers: we will not discuss this, because this war has an existential meaning for us. that is why this remark of the minister of foreign affairs of china stood out to me quite important in the meeting with lavrov, because when he commented on this meeting with lavrov, china, quoting the minister of foreign affairs, wrote that... from our, that is, the chinese point of view, war for russia does not make practical sense, by this it was meant this is exactly what china does not see, the existential war is clear, it is a metaphysical war, it has no boundaries, it is rationally argued in a different way, and from the practical side it is a destructive war that destroys, if you look through the eyes of china, not only ukraine, this in itself is a colossal loss, but it destroys the mass various types of space, communications, global communications. from that point of view, it has no practical meaning, but russia is conducting it, and that is why this existential war to destroy

ukraine. well, you mentioned china, right? chancellor scholz visited china, president macron visited china. a visit by xi jinping to france, hungary and serbia is currently being prepared. we understand that anthony blinkin visited xi jinping and also very clearly discussed a certain framework. i don't know what can. there are brackets as we speak about closed negotiations, but in any case, well, they are trying to stabilize china, but the question is how much china will be ready to stabilize... yes, this is the most important question, now, in my opinion, there is such a rather crude, naive point of view that china fully took russia's side in this conflict, he behind russia is the source of the conflict with the west, and putin is only a proxy for china, but i don't see it that way, i think china is a very big, really independent player, as

before, despite , that china got a relatively large market now in russia, self-isolation, but at the same time relations with the eu are extremely important for china, vitally important on the one hand. europe remains the most reliable, expensive and calm market for china, and not only the market, and the same situation with north america, the us, canada, etc., so i would say, we will see now literally in six months, we will see the final self-determination of china. at the same time , it should be borne in mind that china is a very big problem. that is not resolved, chinese companies and businessmen, after all, will remain part of the global economic darknet, shadow trade, but here it must be said that this is not a state policy, but the policy of giant layers of entrepreneurs from different countries, different peoples, who are engaged in any shadow business, it does not matter if it is about the withdrawal of russian money through

cryptocurrency and the withdrawal of money of the colombian mafia through cryptocurrency , this is done by approximately the same ones. people, just as they engage in any smuggling, through any sanctions barriers. this is the darknet, it should be fought, but in any case it should not be equated with the chinese state position in relation to russia. thank you very much, dear oleksandr, for this extremely interesting and informative conversation, i want to remind our tv viewers that oleksandr morozov, publicist, political expert, was currently working on espress. and is now in prague. 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, i wish you a peaceful and blessed easter. see this week in the judicial program

control with tatyana shustrova. disciplinary cases are not timely. how does vrp sabotage system cleanup? exempts judges from responsibility, instead of dismissing them from office. but who turned out to be the record holder for closing the cases of unscrupulous judges? the judicial mafia controls the entire judicial system. congratulations, this is a program of judicial control, and as always, we are talking about the main reform, on which direction our european prospects depend. how is the new judiciary formed in ukraine? why does the supreme council of justice keep unscrupulous officials in their positions themis? who is sabotaging the cleanup and? rebooting the system about all this today, but first traditionally for the news: detectives of the national anti-corruption bureau of ukraine conducted a search in the house of the judge of the northern commercial court of appeal lyudmila kropyvna, who is suspected of illegal enrichment. at the end of 2021 , a house of 260 m2

in the elite kozyna in the kyiv region and 20 acres of valuable land appeared in the ownership of servant themis. the market value of such an estate with a swimming pool, gazebo and sauna is from 1 million dollars, and according to the agreement on buying and selling nettle real estate was eight times cheaper. everything points to the fact that the judge hid the real amount of money she paid for the house, because she would never have been able to explain the purchase with official income. it should be noted that the acquisition of the estate coincides in time with the period when kropivna started considering the case regarding the alienation of poltava gzk shares in the international. ferekspa company in favor of kremlin businessmen babakov and ginner. in the end, the northern commercial court of appeal, and in particular lyudmila kropyvna, legalized raiding asset seizure. this decision was later overturned by the grand chamber of the supreme court. while nabu set out to investigate where the judge had the money for the house that was being sold for $1 million. and was there a bribe? kropyvna believes that

during the search of her estate, the detectives made a violation and filed a corresponding complaint with the supreme council of justice. the third disciplinary chamber of the supreme council of justice finally dismissed the judge of the poltava district court, larisa bogomolova, who is suspected of treason due to alleged cooperation with the russian fsb. by according to law enforcement officers, she called on the employees of the berdyansk district court, where she herself used to work, to support the russian occupiers and cooperate with them, and those who refused, she handed over to the fsb. bogomolova gave the occupiers information about the transfer of three azov fighters from mariupol. to mangusha district. the russians killed these servicemen. today i heard information that three people from azov got out of mariupol by some trick. can you hear me yes, i hear you, yes. and will come here to keep you in mind. larisa bogomolova was detained by law enforcement officers last year in august, but all this time she remained an active judge and continued to receive

a considerable judge's fee. the final decision on the dismissal of bogomolova must now be made by the entire composition of the supreme council of justice. the judicial system of ukraine is in the mode of a total reboot. there is a lot of work. the higher qualification commission is open. actively works on conducting competitions for positions and assessing the suitability of the current servants of themis. it's so exhausting that lately interviews are taking 7 minutes, judges with dubious reputations and fortunes of obscure origin remain in their seats. the supreme council of justice, which resumed its disciplinary function six months ago, still cannot process a significant volume of judges' complaints. so the participants in criminal cases of corruption, treason and even murders are not released and for years they receive millions from the state budget, which the supreme council of justice does not do, in fact sabotages

the consideration of important disciplinary cases, and those that are considered very many amnesty, in fact exempts judges from responsibility, instead of dismissing them from office, the supreme council of justice decided not to prosecute the judge of the tolchyn district court of the vinnytsia region serhiy. in ganich. last year in march , the man was stopped by the patrol police because he exceeded the permissible speed twice. the judge argued with the police, denied everything, lectured them and even threatened them. i didn't break anything. i'll tell you one more time. i, as a judge, you can pass anything today . you send me this resolution, i send it i will appeal to the court, and i will collect moral damages from you personally. do you know that i work as a judge? grandfathers must know. i told you i told you that i work as a judge, i showed you the judge's certificate, despite this, you detained me and used special means. despite the patrolmen's request to wait for

the protocol to be drawn up, the judge got into the car and drove away from the scene, because he ran over the policeman's leg. instead , the vrp disciplinary chamber decided that there were no grounds to hold judge kovganych accountable. as a result, the policeman is given 3 years on probation for handcuffing him. not according to the procedure, the judge is considered with a disciplinary complaint and the case is closed , they are not prosecuted at all, they do not even give a warning, that is, the supreme council of justice is updated, shouts to the whole society and all judges, wave in front of police ids, tell them how to live, drive 60 km per hour faster than the traffic rules allow, and you won't get anything for it. it's an absolutely wild story. the supreme council of justice has been updated so far does not consider disciplinary cases against judges of the liquidated most corrupt and scandalous court of the country, the district

administrative court of kyiv. figures in criminal proceedings on grand corruption, the creation of a criminal group for the purpose of seizing power, and holders of russian passports are still considered acting judges. every month, the state spends millions on their maintenance. moreover, the supreme council itself did not do justice. their own regulation, because they determined that priority matters for them and wrote it down in regulations, there are cases that have a high public resonance and cases that can end in the dismissal of a judge, and there are such cases in relation to oask judges, for example, several dozen, 65, at least, those that we know about, very likely, much more, only now they started opening disciplinary cases against individual judges. of the district administrative court of the city of kyiv, in fact not fulfilling their own regulation, which states that such cases should be considered as a matter of priority, that is why they close complaints as a matter of priority, allegedly

the ones that are trash, as they call them, meanwhile, the term of prosecution in disciplinary cases is only three years, so hundreds of cases regarding maidan judges were closed after the expiration of the time limit, the supreme council of justice did not have enough time to consider these complaints, now they will decide for themselves. that such complaints are a priority, so that it does not turn out like this, god forbid, because it has been going on for more than a year, for about six months the complaints have again been considered by the supreme council of justice, and again there will not be enough time to consider those complaints that are, well, key for society, the same asku judges, the same princes, the same, well, absolutely obvious cases, but in addition to the super obvious ones, there are also very important ones, such as in the 130s, about drunk driving, such as about many other things. about violations of the process, about violations of human rights to be considered by the supreme council of justice, this is a member of the supreme council of justice, a judge of the civil court of cassation, part of the supreme court,

serhii burlakov, and he plays one of the... key roles in exonerating judges from responsibility , the record holder just by first, by closing cases, and secondly, by not holding judges accountable, where they need to be held accountable. burlakov is closely associated with kharkiv millionaire and deputy of the ninth convocation oleksandr feldman, a former member of the already banned pro-russian party opzh. burlakov, most interestingly, traveled to the russian federation as a judge and had pro-russian connections. deputy and businessman svyatash in kharkiv, and has a very colorful such biography. in 2018, burlakov managed a bulgarian company, and according to the declaration, nothing i didn't get paid for it. this is a very strange story, because in fact he agreed to provide serious services, manage the company, but he did it for free, or he was only listed in the registers as a nominal manager, and this is also a question of his integrity.

or he actually received some funds, but hid them. the fortunes of the burlakov family did not coincide with official incomes, for example, in 2018, the judge's mother was able to acquire an apartment with an area of ​​almost 40 m2 in boryspil, kyiv region, having as of 2017 income of 29 uah and another 217 uah of savings. serhii borlakov forgot to indicate the cost of this apartment of his mother, however, we are sure that it cost...movable property 29 hryvnias more expensive. he also does not declare the value of the land plot with an area of ​​more than 100 km in the kharkiv region and more than 60 thousand square meters in the kirovohrad region, which his wife acquired earlier. huge questions about where the money came from to buy this property. burlakov was repeatedly spotted on alleged manipulations with the value of his property. in the declaration for 2017

year, as a candidate... for the post of judge of the supreme court, he indicated that he owned the corporate rights of three enterprises, the value of only one of them reached over one hundred thousand hryvnias. at the request of the law, after being appointed to the position, burlakov got rid of them, he assures for 500, 1000 and 500 uah, that is, he gave them practically for nothing, it looks like another attempt to hide real wealth. according to experts, burlakov is considered a creature of borys gulka, the head of the civil cassation court within the supreme court, one of the most influential. judges and a member of the so-called judicial mafia, which destroyed the judicial system of ukraine all these years. therefore, the only way to truly cleanse the judiciary is to finally stop this circular bailout now. the ethics council and our international partners have drawn their own conclusions from this, but we need to draw our own conclusions from this, and if this continues, take away from judges the ability to determine and punish judges, because we have already had enough of this circular guarantee,

sorry . in... it has been going on for years, decades, and citizens are suffering, ukraine is suffering. the eurore foundation filed a complaint against the actions of serhii burlakov, a member of the vrp. however, taking into account the practice and consideration of complaints, it is not necessary to wait for a quick decision on it. we, together with a group of experts, continue to monitor everything that is happening in the judicial system today, and we hope that the work on errors will not be delayed. and for today, i have... everything. if you want to report corrupt judges or illegal decisions, write to me on facebook or to this email address. see you in exactly a week. congratulations, we are looking for this girl, her

call. valentina baranova, she is 15 years old. valentina disappeared at the beginning of a full-scale invasion in the kherson region, in the haniche district, but, unfortunately, it is not known exactly in which locality the girl lived. according to one version, she could be taken to the territory of russia. however, of course, this is only an assumption, and valenty can be in the territory under the control of ukraine, and, for example, in the temporarily occupied part of kherson. region, so i ask everyone who sees this video to look at the girl's face as carefully as possible. if you know at least something about valentina baranova, do not delay and immediately call our hotline at the short number 11630. if you are unable to call, you can always...
