european countries were very interested, because russia said: if you conclude a transit agreement with us, the price of gas will be lower, we will sell it to you at a low price, and if otherwise, we will raise the price, and therefore the european countries demanded us, and why now hungary, slovakia says, you will leave us without gas and so on, and eh, and if there is no transit, it might even happen, then... i don't see any problems for hungary or slovakia, not for austria, for them to find another source, now europe diversified, there is gas, where they can buy it, yes, the price may be higher, but they will not be left without gas, i don’t see such big problems here, i just don’t like you, mr. ivan, caretakers first of all, what, to you got it, i'll repeat what sir. said

, that means the agreements were between russia and european countries, and russia told the europeans: you give us money for gas and for transit through ukraine, and we and the ukrainians will come to an agreement ourselves, you do not need to interfere in these relations, we have special relations with ukraine, and we will, we, we, ourselves agreed, forget about ukraine, and that's why we... waited all the time, ladies and gentlemen, and there was never justice in these gas calculations with russia, because ukraine was not calculated there either, we were simply forced to sit opposite the russians and to fulfill their whims, i am in confirmation of that, i will simply say, the first gas war, when russia in 2006, it cut off gas in ukraine, well , there for such imaginary reasons, we consumed gas and... it is clear that the gas that

i was going to europe, and it was a very cold winter cold winter, it was -23 turkey was freezing and so on, and all the ambassadors of the european union, they gathered in kyiv, and there was a meeting, and they told me why you are stealing our gas, you are stealing, they accused us, that there is hungary, bulgaria , romania, italy, everyone, everyone froze, he says, you, ukraine, are stealing gas, and... we answered them with boris ivanovich tarasyuk, he was the minister of foreign affairs, we say: good people, please tell us, we have you have at least one agreement, something signed, that we are responsible for this transit, you are with us you don't want to sign anything, we don't have any agreements, so you turn to those with whom you signed agreements, no, they pressured, insisted and so on, therefore, mr. mykola, you are

absolutely right, it will happen if such a well, there is a ringing clarity in this matter, and there will already be such an algorithm, fair, correct, transparent mutual relations, thank you very much, ivan plachkov, former minister of fuel and energy, chairman of the union council of the all-ukrainian energy assembly, was in touch with us, thank you, sir ivan, it will be now a break, yes, 5-10 minutes, and then we will return to russia. dear, we didn't talk about russia, at least yesterday we didn't talk much, today we didn't talk at all, but well, kursk - this is what tells me, and kursk, isn't it russia, i say, no, kursk, it's already ukraine, you just didn't notice this so, a break. the court of appeal of kyiv refused . complaints of the lawyers of the poltava

mining and processing plant. defenders of the enterprise say that since january of this year , law enforcement agencies have renewed pressure on plant due to the blocking of assets. the investigative judge of the pechersk district court of kyiv issued a decision to seize all movable and immovable property as part of the investigation by the national police of ukraine. in addition , funds in bank accounts were seized. the company believes that such a decision is illegal. however, these... funds were neither determined by material evidence in the case, nor procedurally and physically cannot be material evidence in this case, there is no ruling on the recognition of material evidence, but for some reason the court of appeal of the appellate instance in general did not pay attention to it, i also want to draw attention to the fact that we focused on unlocking a number of necessary company accounts. in july 2024 in kyiv appeals. court held a hearing regarding this

arrest, the panel of judges refused to satisfy the appeal of the company's representatives. unfortunately, we could not. to actually achieve and receive the proper administration of justice, even in the presence of all indisputable evidence regarding the unreasonableness and illegality of the imposition of the specified arrest, in this case after an appeal the enterprise will continue to be considered blocked , there is no possibility to make a number of utility payments, the poltava gzk and its board are being systematically pressured by law enforcement agencies, according to the lawyers. the ukrainian police incriminates the head of the company's board for alleged illegal mining of minerals, namely unfractionated screening and empty rocks. during 2015-2021, this allegedly caused losses to the state budget in the amount of uah 157 billion. as the lawyers emphasize,

the poltava gzk extracts only minerals that are specified in the special permits, namely ferruginous quartzites. as a result of the redevelopment of these apartments. the enterprise received the so-called non-fractionated screening, which is a waste, not a useful mineral. the company's lawyers emphasize that they will continue to fight for the cancellation of the arrests. at this stage, the only way to cancel the specified arrests is to apply to the relevant pechersk district court of kyiv with a request to cancel the specified arrest. currently , about three petitions are pending in the pechersk court. on the very the company notes that such pressure on production can lead to the shutdown of the plant, which in turn will stop the payment of customs payments, services of state enterprises, assistance to internally displaced persons, as well as the receipt of foreign exchange earnings to the ukrainian economy, oh, i remember, you

summer paris 2024. the 33rd olympic games were the first summer games for ukraine after the start of the full-scale invasion of russia, and they were definitely victorious. our sports delegation consists of 140 athletes. the most light athletes and football players. for 16 days, they all fought hard for places on the coveted podium, and many did succeed. on the third day of the competition, the first medal for ukraine, the bronze in the individual saber, was won by olga harlan. i am very happy because i am going home with this and brought it to ukraine. i really felt the support of all of ukraine. hlubtsya protects us. and well, it's for them, it's for all of ukraine. next, serhii

kulish brought us the first silver, in rifle shooting from three positions at a distance of 50 m. and in just a few days, we had gold, which was won by ukrainian saber fencers, defeating rivals from south korea in the final. olga harlan, alina komashchuk, yulia bakastova and olena kravatska played in the national team. the ninth day of the games was especially fruitful for ukrainians, after all. on as many as three of our track and field athletes climbed the podium. yaroslava maguchykh and iryna gerashchenko brought us gold and silver. ukrainian jumpers took a double podium at the olympics. the last time this happened was in 1996. ukraine, i'm taking gold home. it is very important for me, not only for me, but for our team, for our country, for our military. it took a long time. i have been doing sports for 22 years, specifically jumping. it was at the empty train of my first trainer, hryhorivna, and i am very grateful to her for that, because she walks this

path with me, she leads me, and i follow her. but here mykhailo kohan took the third place in the hammer throw, the next day ilya koftun won the silver for us in the parallel bars final. the medal was his debut. the third gold for ukraine was literally knocked out by border boxer oleksandr khizhnyak. in the final match in the tiebreaker. in the category up to 80 kg, he defeated his opponent from kazakhstan by split decision of the judges. of course, i am proud that i became one of those boxers who managed to win an olympic gold medal, which, when i was still such a child, started to do boxing seemed very far out of reach for me, but now this dream, what once seemed unreal, has become real, we worked a lot with my father. with all of you, with our entire team. we have two winners in greco-roman wrestling. parvi from nasibo won

silver, zhan beleniuk won bronze. after that, he danced hopak, took off the wrestlers to applause and ended his sports career. our canoeists also managed to conquer france. lyudmila luzan and anastasia rybachok got on the podium of the olympics from rowing in pairs. they won silver at the distance of 500 m. summer. pida in paris surprised not only with its scale. the program includes 32 sports covering 306 competitions. this year sports such as breaking, rock climbing, skateboarding and surfing will debut. but for the first time in history, ukraine took part in football competitions. however, our national team completed its performance at the group stage. in general, even despite the great war, ukraine managed to adequately prepare athletes for the competition. it was very difficult. a very long way, but we passed it, now we are coming to the end

of the olympic games, and i am convinced that this is a huge achievement for ukraine, in general, for every ukrainian, the fact that we attended the olympic games, the fact that we have won a good number of medals so far , we are currently in the twenty strongest countries on the planet in sports, in paris more than once... the ukrainian national anthem was played and the blue-yellow flag was raised, marking not only the victory of each athlete, but also the victory of the entire country. good health, ladies and gentlemen, well, we continue our program, and now we will to communicate with oleksandr with oleksandr shulga, doctor of sociological sciences, head of the institute of conflict studies and analysis of russia. difficult, difficult task. well,

allow me, mr. alexander, to start with the famous one. russian phrases: what is on the mind of a sober person is on the tongue of a drunk, and it has long been noticed that the president, or the one who calls himself the president of the russian federation, thinks something, and the former president, or the one who calls himself the president, medvedev, speaks , because they say that he drinks a lot, and this is the last time he said that tanks will be, well, this is after the ukrainians entered kursk. region, that russian tanks will be in berlin, but here is the main question, for some reason he did not say about nuclear war, and we here in the editorial office think that, whatever happened there, usually we are already used to such a set, such a set, nuclear war, this, this, this, this,

tanks there, there, there, there, there, that, here something, yes, in a nuclear war, we, we do not, do not say such words. and there will still be tanks in berlin, what does this mean that there has changed, as it is now fashionable to say, the narrative? well you know commenting on what medvedev writes seems to be a very great honor, although at the same time it must be admitted that what putin really has in mind is in medvedev's telegram, and... for example, what medvedev in one of his posts, he wrote that we will arrest them, we will force them in their europes to burn, blow up, suffer in all torments, and just literally, it seems to me, a week after this post, information appeared about

the exposure of an attempt to assassinate one of the top managers rhein metal, armen papager, well... and now about, about the tanks in berlin, well, they will be in berlin, they will make them and deliver them to ukraine, there is no, no contradiction here, it seems to me that medvedev is now, as always, he is trying to draw attention to himself, but medvedev is not the main one, the main thing is what is happening now the mega-battle between the warlords, the so-called and... those who are called the okhranota, or all kinds of nightingales, the kysyaleovs, the skabeevs, the semenyans, and so on, and so on, it is precisely here that it is more important to pay attention to their telegrams and their attacks on each other, moreover, except for warriors, very much

an interesting battle between the local publics of the kurdish region, for example, the same suja, which... i call silovyov bastards for their, as if, according to him, panic attacks there and the fact that they are driving panic, although everything is fine with us, this is the main thing, here it is interesting, moreover, very interesting, beautiful comments were in the telegram of suja, kursk, kursk region in general, addressed to putin personally, and the authorities, and the russian military, in the first days. now if you go in you won't see any comments there because their just removed, just away from sin. moreover, we may also be deprived of the pleasure of reading about russian soldiers, because now they have been told in direct language that criminal cases will be opened against you, but not for fakes about the army, for example, for your volunteer meetings, and, for example, maybe you

are not really they collected some money for copters, or maybe they stole this money for themselves. let's see, this, this is really important, it's really interesting, and what 's more, it's interesting that the so-called good russians somehow don't comment much on the situation in the kursk region, somehow they're a little confused there, like, i would say so, they are silent and confused, it is obvious that official russia is there... the press is also confused, but it is clear why they are confused, because they are waiting for the kremlin to come up with something to say, and these guys who are sitting in berlin, london... and vilnius and so on, they are somehow also silent, because now we see this, well, in my opinion, tell me, maybe i'm wrong, but we

see the price, how much good russians cost, about as much well, how many bad russians there are, that is, well, two saba, two pair of boots, somehow it leads me to russian, to russian proverb, today somehow, excuse me, the topic is this. indeed, well, first of all, the so -called good russians, in fact, in some ways, they are even more dangerous than the bad, so-called russians, because they promote the narrative precisely that this is putin's war, that much has already been said, you just show karamurza, pivovavarov, and yashchyn, who just voiced this narrative grant. that putin is bad, the russians are good, let's remove the sanctions from them, so we had conversations with them and the next day they all told me at the same time, no, no, you are wrong about us, understood, sanctions are needed, but still, well, it

was said for the first time, and as for these russians, well, again, they say it openly, shenderovych was the first to formulate it very clearly, he said, we are with the ukrainians to the first turning then we diverge, because we are russians, we are interested in the preservation of russia as a great country as it is, they can call it a beautiful country, a beautiful country of the future, but it is actually preserved in its massive, threatening form, we we can't with that agree, that's why russians are good for us - it's interesting. to talk, to see how they evolve, but we have to understand that we are not the same as before the first turn, we are generally on slightly different paths from us to them. mr.

oleksandr, please tell me, today i was counting there with the help of various assistants, let's say, after the second coming of putin, that is, when he was there in the 11th or 12th year, well, i missed it there.. . medvedev, which we also talked about, he signed 148, or rather, a huge number of laws that worsen the media environment, and the other day he signed 10 more repressive laws, not only in the media, but then the question arises, well, it's as if all the cracks have been patched up, everything is fine there, no one does anything anymore... he doesn't even touch his nose, but here he is 10 among the 10 most impressive owners of blogs and channels, where the audience is more than 10,000 people, now they

have to provide information about themselves to the police, that is, as a means of information, the military does not have the right to keep such and such devices on the front, and citizens who have acquired citizens should be stripped of their citizenship without trial and investigation and thrown out. some tajik or some uzbek worked a lot in russia , did everything, paid taxes, got a passport, then didn’t go to the front, for example, did i say something there? i’m in general, my homeland is uzbekistan , the policeman came, yes, go if your homeland is uzbekistan come on let's get out of here that's why they continue this process of sewing up these holes, these gaps, when

everything seems to be perfect, it's the way putin wants it, the way the russians like it, well really, it's just, well, i'd call it kaenderization, but you see, he's trying to stretch it and the cat is cutting him. the tail is unfortunate in part, it really seems to me that this law is even more important than i can, what you said about 10 thousand subscribers is just about telegram, telegram is exactly where they sit and learn news much faster than on the same youtube, with all due respect to youtube, and blocking or slowing down youtube will have less effect. from a socio-political point of view, than just a telegram, putting it under control just right telegram, and that is exactly what i called, that

this battle between the kors and the official propagandists, the state propagandists of this security, this is just a very good example of this, by the way, regarding the phones of the russian military, well, between us, between us, from a military point of view, it makes sense, because the russians are beautiful in their naivety, they really phones help us a lot, very cool. that they keep their phones in their pockets, there may be full information about them, well, who knows, but this is also, this is also an attempt not to give them publicity, for example, the fact that the conscripts are thrown from their bodies onto the chicken coop, that they are beaten there or some other violation of the rules by them, this is also about this, and it really seems to me that it is equally, both of these goals are pursued by this. well

, only one thing follows from your words, that the main intelligence department of ukraine should collect a thousand phones and somehow send them to the front in russia, i think they will accept such a gift with great pleasure, and it will help the ukrainian troops to beat the russian troops, i like it very very like it, to to belarus, mr. oleksandr, here we have such a neighbor in belarus, there sits... such a dictator, called lukashenko, and he had such a mysterious phrase: "if russia falls, we will all be drawn into this funnel, who is this, can you really imagine this csto, this cis, this is all, that this is really some kind of unity, some kind of eurasian nato, where

it is written in the fifth article that if there is an attack, then we will all stand together, and on the one hand, we do not see something, no one wants to stand next to them, now even less want such an impression to stand by after the kurdish events, and mr. lukashenko says: well, we will all suffer, well, it looks somehow strange, does he believe in some kind of post-soviet unity, well, as for lukashenko , he does not... but here there is a but, now lukashenko really played to the advantage of ukraine, indeed lukashenko with this so-called de-escalation, first he announced about escalation, then he said about de-escalation a few weeks before these events, all of which we are talking about now, he played along with ukraine, if you look at what the

so-called official telegram of the president of belarus was about. then he was talking about everything, no, not about kurshchyna, only after a harsh, i think, very unliterary shout from the kremlin, but only then did he start talking about some drones, about the fact that we are not allowed there and so further, but it was already on august 10, everything started on the sixth, i will remind you, august, and it seems to me that here lukashenko will again try to take no action, except to make statements, and so far... this story is indeed confirmed, i will remind you that after invasion, after the opening of belarusian territory for invasion in 2022, after that lukashenko tried not to take a direct part in the war, did not provide his troops en masse, did not provide territory for attacking ukraine with ballistic missiles or cruise missiles, well, he tried to do this, and now we are again we see that this... self-proclaimed

president will play along with us for the time being, let's see how much he will continue to do this, and what about the csto, well, that's great, because he is setting the trend, if a country that is not just a member of the csto, but is still a member of the union the state that is a component or the most integrated with russia behaves like this, so why should the kazakhs, or tajiks, or some other countries or kyrgyz countries have any more power. or more obligations to russia, well, it seems to me that lukashenko is wonderful in this. thank you very much, oleksandr shulga, doctor of sociological sciences, head of the institute of conflict studies and analysis of russia. thank you, mr. oleksandr. now we have mr. andrii shkil, a well-known politician, journalist, people's deputy of ukraine. the sixth convocation, who now lives in france.
