polish-lithuanian-ukrainian, what would be the chances? as a political slogan, this is a good slogan, this polish-lithuanian-ukrainian brigade was created in a different situation, i remember the moment of its creation, i supported it, because it is really a matter of the future, although i did not know how russia would behave, but its benefit for the present the situation is small, small, because there is a brigade, but for the future it would be useful. of course, it would be useful, but in the future , logistics, armed and human support will always be useful for ukrainians. no, it is only about the climate the situation may change in six months, but the most important thing is to have something on paper, that is , we understand that there is a military bureaucracy, the bureaucracy of the ministry of defense, not only ukrainian, but also polish, and so on. here we have to think more broadly, about readiness, about the concept, pro-unions, pro-unions of various types. and... readiness is also, no,

readiness for union, the so-called political will, yes, yes, yes, at the moment it is not such a difficult situation, ukrainians are coping, but the question for us, for me, is what to do when ukraine stops giving council, and i say, it is necessary to consider various possibilities, probably you are considering such possibilities, we should also consider them. at the moment, ukraine is on its own. but we had a difficult period at the time when the united states did not give weapons, blocked, right? when they couldn't vote, and it went on and on. and we understand that this was also a corridor of opportunity for putin. but the european union voted to provide 50 billion. but not 100 billion. well, well, but then you can say why not 150 billion, states for 60 billion about... well

do you want such money from poor europe? the states are richer, but at the same time, the usa is a force. this does not mean that anyone can vote for 100 billion, but they must be used to buy weapons. that is, to make weapons. the states have weapons, only the usa has such stockpiles of weapons, in our country we are forced to restore and rebuild the arms industry. i am a member of the national defense commission, that is, i hold. in the army, i know a little about the nuances. we have to make a huge effort to get back here to what we had before. for this we have to think together, what then? now we have to think and now we have to discuss, to have a concept so that we can start implementing it, we need to know what we have to do. i am also in ukraine to talk about it. thank you very much, mr. marshalka, thank you very much for... openness and for this wonderful

analysis and of course for the position. thank you very much. and i want to remind our tv viewers that bohdan borusewicz, a legendary polish politician, the head of the polish senate from 2005 to 2015, was currently working on the air of the tv channel, and now he works in the senate, in the defense committee. taras, a journalist who joined the armed forces, a political expert who became a special agent. ryzovets in a new project on espresso. the real front is a thorough analysis of the main events. reports, comments of leading specialists and experts. analytics from the major of the armed forces. how to make sense of disturbing news and distinguish truth from hostile propaganda. the real front program with taras berezovets every saturday at 21:30 on espresso. vasyl zima's big broadcast. my name is vasyl zima. this is a big ether on the spresso tv channel. two hours of air time. two hours of yours

time, my colleagues and i will talk about the most important thing, for two hours, to learn about the war, about the military, front, component, serhii zgurets, and what the world is like. yuriy fizar is already with me, and it's time to talk about what happened outside of ukraine. yury, good evening, two hours to keep up with economic news. time to talk about money in wartime. oleksandr morchyvka with me and sports news. i invite yevhen pastukov to the conversation. two hours in the company of your favorite presenters. cultural chekchenin. according to the weather on these weekends, as well as distinguished guests of the studio. mustafa dzhemilov, the leader of the crimean tatar people, is in touch with us, mr. mustafa, i congratulate you. good day. events of the day in two hours. vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people. espresso in the evening. and now oleksandr will work on the air of the tv channel. a political scientist based in prague.

glad to see you, oleksandr. well, first of all i would like to ask you about the assessment of the so- called astana summit. we understand that this story is not only about putin. this is a story not even only about xi jinping, this is a story in general about an attempt to form a new, so -called alternative agenda to replace what are called big summits and big events of the diplomatic international plan that held the so-called collective event, so the astana agenda and putin's willingness to do something , what was all this for him. vladimir putin will definitely use this sco summit to... build a very important line for him, which will lead to the success of the brics summit in kazan, which will take place in october. this brics summit in kazan is an extremely important diplomatic and political event for putin. why? because there is a struggle around the summit.

expansion of the composition of brics countries was foreseen. the kremlin has been actively playing with the applications submitted by various countries. it has now been decided that there will be no enlargement at this summit in kazan. but besides that, it is in kazan that putin is going to demonstrate that he has the support of the countries of the so-called global south. and on the sidelines of the sco summit, i think the main goal of kremlin diplomacy is simply to prepare for the summit in kazan. alexander, but we understand that there is a public agenda and there is a real agenda. yes, we understand that no matter who makes a speech at the summit, the story is key. the main problems, well, the main problem is that putin is starting to be gradually pressured, he is waiting for history with the american elections, and on the other hand , there is also the agenda that china is shaping, and the chinese so-called plan, which is not accepted publicly, at least in the west,

putin is also trying to engage. so, if we are talking about the chinese plan, well, in particular this is about the russian-ukrainian war, what do you think? how now will putin try to play it in his own interests? it seems to me that the situation was determined after vladimir putin, entering a new term, issued an ultimatum, that is , formulated his vision of the end of the war in four points. this ultimatum leaves no room for diplomacy, neither for china, nor for hungary, nor for turkey. because, as for putin's package of proposals... it could be said that the kremlin formulates the goals of the war in different ways, constantly speaks, creates different goals in different periods, then here putin formulated it in its final form, if the kremlin did this, then what can mr. chairman xi

or any other political politician do here, then what can mr. chairman xi or anyone do here - what other politician, because first of all, this demand of putin contains full... recognition, and with the help of international treaties, the annexation of the occupied territories. of course, china cannot act here. china has always publicly recognized the territorial integrity of the entire country. this persists in chinese foreign policy quite strictly. in this ultimatum, putin demands that ukraine acquire a neutral status, a nuclear-free status and abandon military-technical cooperation, rely only on its own military-technical capabilities, etc., i.e. putin offers finlandization, to use an old word from the cold war period. it is impossible to fulfill this demand in any way, because the very war that putin started led to the fact that not only ukraine, but also many other countries and regions,

finland, sweden, join nato, and that is why voices have been heard now, in particular viktor orban, and turkish president erdogan said. maybe we don't know this, for sure, but aside from the truce, this is the only thing that remains in the hands of various representatives of the world political scene, just ask putin the question, do you not want to resort to a truce? actually, something like that may have happened on the grounds of the sco summit during bilateral negotiations of some kind. oleksandr, what do you think, and for what purpose did putin so quickly and so brazenly announce his ultimatum, i.e. hold... a swiss peace summit, quite a few different things were discussed, well , russian aggression against ukraine was not directly on the agenda, although we understand that everyone was talking about it, and now putin rolled out an ultimatum, no one, so to speak, dragged him to a certain place, but no,

anyway, the first thing he voiced something that cannot be, as you rightly noted, accepted in any public political cabinet, yes, this is a really important question and... a really important question and quite interesting, because indeed during more than two years of active war, both putin and his environment produced many different descriptions, results of the war, etc. and now putin, entering a new mood, spoke like this. different assessments are possible here, but my answer is this: putin has done it now, targeting three audiences at once, believing that it is profitable for him. one audience is internal. putin formed a new entourage around himself, shuffled all the old people and created a cabinet without an end-to-end war. that is, he appointed people whom he trusts a lot. key positions in the new term for the next six years, and this

sets a task for them, as if to say, this is exactly what you signed up for, this is what you should do for the next six years, this should be the result of your work, this is the first moment, an appeal to your own political top of the bureaucracy. the second important point is that putin is undoubtedly addressing ukrainian society with this ultimatum. in the kremlin , everyone knows about it, even. not a mood, a constant conviction that ukraine must weaken itself from the point of view of its moral, military and political spirit, break before the irresistible power of the kremlin, simply saying putin, after president zelensky's term of office ended, first began to emphasize that zelensky is illegitimate and it is impossible to negotiate with him, etc. and this statement by putin is aimed at pushing, as he believes. in the kremlin, a part of ukrainian society before the fact that it will be like this, accept

it as inevitable, start already to change your position and create a new one. and the third audience, here, of course, are the countries of the alliance of global support for ukraine, primarily the united states, after all, putin wants to say that, regardless of how the scenarios of the american elections in november develop, who will be president. the position of the kremlin is as follows: it does not matter to us, putin wants to say, who will be your president, these are our demands on how this war should end, and any us president or any nato secretary general will deal with them. and now it is new, or any composition of the european commission, whether the ministry of defense will be created in the european commission, whether the former prime minister of estonia will head the foreign policy department. the kremlin says: this is the perspective and no other. this leads to the fact that everyone

has heard it, no doubt. everyone who makes political decisions, who develops further elements of security policy, everyone heard perfectly well what putin said. yes, well, but if we are talking about the ukrainian audience, we understand that putin could not have voiced anything more stupid. yes, because it was not some kind of proposal that should provoke. intra-ukrainian discussion, this is, so to speak, an ultimate demand to give back what the russians have not yet captured, and we understand that so these stories don't work. on the other hand, as you rightly pointed out, putin is trying to indicate, that is, to put up certain markers of his appetites, and this is without a doubt designed for a western audience, and accordingly the key story: putin is in a great hurry, we understand what he would like. to have time before the elections in the united states, maybe some big

events are still being planned, because putin is really, well, extremely violently raping his generals, yes, when he talks about an offensive at any cost, here they are two months of the summer campaign, well, they are extremely bloody and tense. this is a rather strange situation, as far as it can be seen. the fact is that, on the one hand, in the summer of this year, many predicted and with good reason. that the kremlin will carry out a rather large offensive, not just tactical, but rather convincing, which will register itself as an asset, such an offensive, which would change the situation in favor of the kremlin quite strongly, this is on the one hand, and on the other hand, we are surprised to see that at the same time putin replaced the defense minister and replaced him with a minister defense of some sort of accountant, a person who is responsible for ensuring that the army spends half of its time fighting, and half of the time correctly drawing up financial documents. significant military figures, military generals. not

only has general petrov been accused of fraud, but yesterday we saw a report that the commander of the guards assault brigade, colonel horodylov, seems to have that name also accused of fraud. i'd say it's a pretty weird situation to prepare for. carrying out some kind of offensive, because such the events, in my opinion, strongly demoralize the military leadership on the ground, that is, if you imagine that they are talking about this in the trenches, and we have an idea about this through... of course, war correspondents, war correspondents, then it is clear that everyone there is confused . how so? the most active and authoritative russian military commanders in the trenches, for some reason, follow the article about fraud. are these some strange events? this is one side of it all. the other side, after all, despite the fact that in the first half of 2024, rather insignificant

tactical successes of the russian army, but from the point of view of the whole concept. of this war, it is clear that parity has been achieved, and this parity is not breaking, that is, yes, the russian army continues to inflict heavy blows on the infrastructure, but ukraine has been extremely successfully active for all six months of this year , from the moment it just started receiving military aid, but also until this drone war, which was carried out by ukraine, was quite effective, and i must say that i ... i do not see any ideas in the russian military and political environment, how this parity can be destroyed, so the situation is not easy here, and it seems to me that this is precisely why the kremlin is now somewhat supporting and twisting the gnotic, organizing discussions around the concept of a possible truce or peace, peace documents, peace negotiations. that is why

the kremlin is shining a new light on the istanbul documents. here, of course, as i said myself. at the beginning , the brics summit in kazan plays a big role, not surprisingly, because before the october summit, putin, after all, has to pretend to be a peacemaker, he has to constantly hint to the global audience that he is for peace in general, constantly to continue the game that it is kyiv that does not want peace, to constantly appeal to some old documents, in particular those of istanbul, but the so-called istanbul documents, even if they are not ratified and even not signed , rather, but those of istanbul... the moments are contrary to what putin voiced and what we call putin's ultimatum, and if we're talking, let's go back to this ultimatum again, it's about psychopathology, do you think the kremlin has some kind of scenario plan, that is, they follow some clear, i don't know, directive line, or they just in depending on the mood of your furo. at least

now, it is clear that putin, on the one hand , has resorted to steps that... clearly demonstrate that he is going to fight for a long time. this is primarily evident from the reshuffles he made in the russian political and military leadership after the start of the new term. he showed with these permutations that the entire calculation of the war must be calculated differently, because it will be long. hence all these economic changes in the economic bloc. it's one sided, and he shows it clearly. the other side. is that the kremlin does not have answers to the question of how to proceed if the global alliance of support for ukraine is preserved and will strengthen and develop. this is a fundamental factor. putin and the kremlin always say that the war would have ended if the west had not supported ukraine. this is said with an insult, sometimes in an insulting tone, or in the tone

of diplomatic maneuvers. however, this is the main point. and of course, putin's dream is in order for the global alliance of support for ukraine to weaken, give up, change its position, but it must be said that this is not the case, it is clearly visible, on the contrary, if you look at what is happening now at the nato summit, the kremlin media will judge and pour curses, because at the nato summit in washington, which will happen in less than 10 days, it will be clearly demonstrated that in relation to the kremlin and its war against ukraine, it has been created and... more will be created long institutions of support, that is, all support is institutionalized, and regardless of who will be the president of the usa, which parties will win in the european parliament, there are long documents voted in the us congress that will not change. regarding this, we can clearly see that the kremlin from with great energy churns

his contacts with the third world like a milk frog to form sour cream. everyone can clearly see it. at least for something, even for a small island state that supposedly supports the kremlin, for some international institutions, for some agreements with these countries, to offer something, but it must be said that the countries of the political regimes that frankly and openly supported the kremlin on planet earth, i would say, apart from north korea, we all have big doubts about iran and china, there is a big fight going on. and to things going back to china. yes, and maybe during this astana conversation, sijin ping will very specifically voice his sacramental question to putin, putin, how long are you going to fight with ukraine, yes, because the chinese have so... also their plans for what is called continental cooperation, that is , the chinese do not just measure in hundreds of billions. it depends on the chinese now to keep

their bloated economy and all their machinations. there is an important point here: china will never enter into an alliance of direct struggle with the kremlin, but at the same time, china is demonstrating to the kremlin. the war, moreover, is an aggressive war aimed at territorial conquest for china. to render some favor to putin in ending the war, aloosh in ending the war, and not in continuing it on the terms of the ultimatum that putin put forward. however, there are no prospects for this now, because, i think, many people asked putin, and erdogan also asked putin again on the sidelines of this summit, saying, maybe... you want to take some new steps, yes we are ready to help, but putin's answer obvious no, everything is formulated in the ultimatum. if we carry out what is in

the ultimatum, once again we return to where we started, no one has any prospects of conducting any diplomacy regarding the end of the war. and the fact that dozens of politicians on planet earth would like to receive the nobel peace prize for creating a structure to end this war. there is no doubt about it, everyone dreams of it. thank you very much, oleksandr, for this extremely interesting and informative conversation . i want to remind our viewers that now they have oleksandr morozov, a well-known political scientist, worked from prague. well, the time of our program is over, stay with the espresso tv channel, my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of the day. take care of yourself and your loved ones. see you on air. see this week in the judicial control program. extra-procedural actions and smearing of drunk drivers. why did the vrp

dismiss judge galonkin? they wrote to apply a sanction to mr. galyonkin in the form of submitting a loan permit. but how did judge bonchev fail the qualification assessment? and all the measures that i took were legal, they were carried out. congratulations, judicial control is on the air. institutional rebooting and... personnel renewal of the judiciary based on the norms of professional ethics and integrity is the basis of the judicial reform currently underway in ukraine. its successful implementation is the main requirement for our further path to the eu. however, we will talk about how successful the transformation is and whether the moral and professional qualities of the justice enforcers meet high standards today, but... to the news. the supreme council of justice fired the duty judge who got behind the wheel while intoxicated.

volodymyr borodiychuk, deputy chairman of the cherkasy court of appeal, resigned from his position. the police caught him drunk driving a toyota land cruiser prado in november 2023 . borodiychuk refused to undergo a drunkenness test, and even denied that he was behind the wheel . retirement with lifetime support. a few months ago, the cherkasy court found borodiychuk guilty and fined him for 17 hryvnias with deprivation of driver's license for a period of one year. now the supreme council of justice in full has decided to leave unchanged the decision of the third disciplinary chamber to dismiss the judge. the chairman of the poltava court of appeal, serhiy galonkin, also lost his judgeship. he is known for the fact that he lived in a church that he built himself. here is this house with an area of ​​661 m2. is located in the suburbs of poltava, but he was dismissed from the post of judge not for this, but because of extra-procedural communication with the lawyer and judges, regarding two cases about driving cars while intoxicated.

one of them features the judge's son. in audio recordings of conversations recorded by the national anti-corruption bureau, galyonkin promises his help. the third disciplinary chamber of the vrp publishes an excerpt of this conversation. by and large, you know, we are normal people, we will always do anything, if we need to... help, we will always help. however, the members of the disciplinary chamber probably did not see a significant misconduct here and decided that galonkin's three-month deprivation of allowances would be sufficient as a punishment, this is the judge's decision appealed, and the supreme council of justice dismissed the judge altogether. galonkin committed a significant disciplinary offense that is incompatible with the status of a judge. voting has been completed, eight members of the vrp voted for, four against, thus the supreme council of justice passed. apply a disciplinary sanction to the judge of the poltava court of appeal galonkin serhii anatoliyovych in the form of a motion to dismiss the judge from his position. now the supreme council of justice must make

a formal decision, but serhii galyonki. can still appeal it. higher qualification the commission of judges continues to weed out unworthy representatives. and recently, this process has gained momentum. many unscrupulous servants of themis were already one step away from being released. the commission recognized igor bonchev, judge of the fastiv city district court of the kyiv region, as unworthy of office. yes, it's hard to say here. because no one knows the whole truth. igor bonchev has a delay on his account. your fulfillment of the duty to maintain your qualifications as a judge at a high level. ihor bonchev did not overburden himself with work: i try be present in court as much as possible, once or twice a week. and on other days, what do you

do? i am increasing my quali. well, and in what way let me find out? studies legislation. bonchev assures that he must do this, because the legislation is constantly changing, however, he has not been able to name at least two changes to the criminal procedure code in recent years. tell me, please, at least two or three amendments to the criminal procedure code, which were adopted by law, were introduced. relevant, which took place after the introduction of the territory of ukraine is under martial law, now, now, well, when you don't do justice for a long time, it suddenly flies out of your head, judge ihor bonchev couldn't remember a single topic from the forty-eight-hour

training course. we held classes on the integral court, i remember this for sure, the integrated court, maybe explain the concept of the integral court, because it is some new expression that is so interesting, i just don't remember it anymore, six months have passed, maybe it was one of the topics in the context of the conclusion kres number 26. digitization of the judiciary, that's it digitalization, ihor bonchev studied the legislation so diligently that he systematically missed deadlines during the consideration of cases for drunken driving. the public integrity council recorded at least nine cases where drunk drivers avoided punishment because of this. there was no deliberate action to avoid them. and all the measures that i took were legal, they were carried out. apart from the bad.

judge bonchev has a wonderful ex-wife, in 2018 she gave him half a million hryvnias. in the 17th year, she started for this to collect funds, she worked as a director and she also had a company in i think january, no, i don't remember it now, but eha, here. according to the public council of virtue, the ex -wife of the judge did not have the financial opportunity to give her ex-husband such an expensive gift, because in general for the whole of 2017 she earned less than this amount, she had uah 90,000 in savings, and even taking them into account, in order to please her ex-husband, she had to would starve the whole year, you declared in your declaration a person authorized to perform

the functions of the state in the local area. uah 471,874, yes, this income consisted of the wife's income, this income consisted of the funds received as wages, dividends from ego's limited liability company, and funds from the sale of two plots of land owned by the wife, well, if we proceed even from this amount, the amount of the wife's retention of the end, at the beginning at the end of 2016-17. 90,000 uah per year, then the question arises, well, purely mathematically, moreover, the judge did not pay alimony for small children, but assures that his ex-wife asked him for money and he gave it to her. the younger child was only two years, what were the motives, if she needed these funds, to collect the last funds, all that she had and give them to...
