and the guests of his program, people who have information and shape public opinion, people who defend ukraine and create the future, the main and interesting thing in the program is the verdict of serhiy rudenko from monday to thursday at 1:00 p.m. on espresso. i myself am from irpen, and when the war started, it was 24 february i went outside and there were already russian helicopters in the sky above the guest house and there was a battle. i am from sumy oblast, the village of nizhnya sirovatka. two months ago, none of us could have imagined that small villages in sumy oblast would become the epicenter of world events together with with my family i left the town of irpin, a suburb of kyiv, on the fourth day of the war, on february 27,

when the advanced units of the russian occupiers were already entering the city, machine-gun fire could be heard . my city was destroyed by the russian occupiers, i truly survived by a miracle and i am definitely glad about it. together with antin burkovskii, i have been in this studio since the fall . every week for two hours of air time, we tried to devote exactly to the topic of war. when we started western intelligence and tell us in detail how putin will kill ukrainians. i can't even now return to my hometown, but i had hope that i would return at least one of my previous life, this is my favorite job, she was lucky, my family is now safe and i continued to work where i am

needed on the espresso tv channel, but unfortunately on april 4 this year, the state concert of the rtd disconnected the espresso tv channel from the crooked broadcast of t2, i came to lviv in order to continue working as the host of the espresso tv channel, but you destroyed my current dream, one small one, not even to return home, but at least to have one normality to work, first the russian authorities took away my house and the opportunity to live in my hometown, now the ukrainian authorities are trying to take away from me the opportunity to work in the profession of informing ukrainian viewers, we refute russian fakes we explain to people where is the truth and where are the lies, we record the crimes of the russian occupiers so that the karabakh does not pass them

by of these options, we will stand as many as we must, please return our broadcasting to the ukrainians, i am sure that they need us president zelenskyi, return expresso to the air let's protect the information front together glory to ukraine glory to the heroes , we continue our television marathon in the studio maria gurska is working for you and right now with us in touch with e-e the first few hours of this hour, fedir venislavskyi, people's deputy, member of the committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on national security and defense and intelligence, as well as a representative the president in the constitutional court congratulations mr. fedor congratulations to you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes let's start with the security situation on the eve of may 8-9 in tension the entire country nsdc warns of possible provocations by the enemy of pro-russian

saboteurs of the ministry of defense about the possibility of increased missile strikes well, heroes write about putin's flight over on the other side, the enemy is attacking moscow with a doomsday plane, a plane that can carry nuclear warheads, in the east and south, but the armed forces of ukraine are victoriously defeating the enemy they are knocking out certain points in the kharkiv region, they are going on a counteroffensive and moving forward, liberating our territories, so how do you assess the situation on the 73rd day of the war and the perspective of the coming days of may. norms of international law, not in matters of waging war, not in matters of treatment of the civilian population, and those missile attacks that are launched almost every day

, 90% of them hit the objects of peaceful infrastructure which do not have any military significance, er. well, when we talk about today's situation, the fiercest battles are taking place in the east of ukraine along the demarcation line, where the military carries out its military mission, the military tasks of the combined forces, er, the enemy is trying to buy from individual of the countries of the luhansk donetsk region in the direction of severodonetsk e.e. popasna liman they are trying to encircle our groups of the combined forces and for this purpose develop an offensive on slavyansk on periwinkle also from the side of the slobojan e-e in the kharkiv region, they are concentrating their reserves, preparing for an offensive along the entire line of demarcation, there is rocket and artillery shelling , that is, the situation is difficult, but it has not changed in any way in the last few days, you can even say in the

last weeks, 10 days, it has not changed, the enemy is not achieving any results as a result or as a result of their activation in all directions, those are the victories that they needed to demonstrate by may 9, they will not be able to demonstrate them because there are none at all in some directions they are given sunshine there for several hundred meters a kilometer, this does not in any way affect the general situation, our armed forces are trying to resist the enemy with the least losses, and this is the main goal of our military command of the military-political command. therefore, they will definitely need to somehow escalate this situation to demonstrate the achievements of which they do not have as far as may 9, 8 and may 9 are concerned, and our intelligence and the supreme command of the armed forces and the security service directly - undoubtedly they predict an aggravation of the possibility of new

missile strikes, but this will also not be able to affect the course of the war in any way, on our successes in all directions of the front line, where our armed forces at the first opportunity and with minimal losses attack and liberate our settlements from enemy as for the doomsday. how do you say the plane doomsday. well, here i also did not exaggerate it. it has no practical meaning except for purely ideological and psychological pressure - it will have no further consequences. moreover, for example, in the last day, according to the data of our armed forces, the enemy made 56 combat aircraft sorties, six of which were with the use of tu-22 m3 strategic bombers. that is , these bombers are capable of carrying, including nuclear warheads on missiles, that is, they are

constantly used in the mountains those airplanes by the way, we gave them to him in the process of when we gave up nuclear weapons, now he uses those airplanes, in fact , with the help of those airplanes, we have that il-22 airplane, if i'm wrong, which is a command plane. an air point where putin can hide in the event of the start of a nuclear war, such a propaganda goal will have no result , and it will also have no consequences. the solution to your words is that we can cite fresh material from faynan shaltimes, with the comment of a number of officials of the us and eu countries, in particular, who expressed themselves in this material, eleanor is the mayor who headed the pentagon's nuclear policy department in 2021. well, all the experts say that it is unlikely that russia now wants to enter into a nuclear conflict with nato, because such a step the use of tactical nuclear weapons by russia

would force the whole world to react symmetrically and, of course, russia wants to continue to increase the degree of tension in order to force the united states and the west to refuse to provide ukraine with increased weapons of heavy weapons, but we can see that its pressure nuclear blackmail only increases the determination of ukraine's partners in that such ukraine needs help, and in fact, the fate of the whole world is being decided on the territory of ukraine, this was also confirmed by the speech in the verkhovna rada of ukraine this week of the prime minister of great britain boris johnson the central event in the ukrainian parliament in a week, partners will allocate an additional 3 billion pounds to ukraine for new weapons and means of protection well, besides this, the parliament, to sum up the week, passed

a number of important bills, in particular, the ban on the activities of pro-russian parties, appeals to the e- chamber representatives and the senate of the congress regarding the recognition of russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and the expansion of the ability of the interdiction to perform tasks in the combat zone, many others were decision, but i would like to dwell briefly on these three. so, mr. fedor, how do you assess the prospects for the activity of pro-russian political forces in one or another of their forms in ukraine, after our demand, we see that already created on the basis of the opzj faction, deputy groups, well, in particular , the platform for life and peace well, we understand that they will find some new dimensions of their activities , but in your opinion, what prospects will the pro-russian forces in ukraine have in ukrainian politics, what will happen to the numerous facts of collaboration representatives of pro-russian political forces with the

enemy during the war, it is necessary to first distinguish between the activities of political parties and the activities of specific representatives of these political parties , when we talk about specific collaborative actions of certain representatives of any political forces, this is the basis for registering criminal proceedings in the first days of the war we immediately adopted the law on collaborationism, supplemented the articles of the criminal code with article 111, made changes to the objectives of the contribution of other laws, which limited the including the political rights of those persons who are accused or found guilty of committing acts of collaboration, that is, they will have significantly less opportunities than other citizens of ukraine in electoral rights and in the referral process and in the state service - this was supported by the verkhovna rada unanimously when it comes to the criminal card activity, then the body before the word of investigation every time, if there are facts , relevant criminal proceedings are registered , a pre-trial investigation is conducted, and then i think

that these collaborators will bear the well-deserved responsibility when we talk about banning political parties that support the russian federation of pro-russian political parties, it is true . according to the procedure defined by the law on political parties, the activity of pro-russian political forces, but from the perspective of how you asked me - what did you ask me about? i think you know, because a political party is an association of citizens who support a certain idea after the war, after the crimes committed by the russian federation on the territory of ukraine, to hope that citizens will support the activities of pro-russian political forces. i think there is absolutely no reason, that is, their electorate is not that it will decrease, it will, in my opinion, disappear after the war, after our victory, therefore de facto they will not exist anyway, and de jure any activity that is

directed against the interests of the ukrainian state, that glorifies the aggressor state, it will not have the opportunity to exist at all after this the law will be signed by the president and will enter into force. regarding your second question about the second bill on the recognition of the appeal to the congress of the united states of america on the recognition of the russian federation as a state sponsor of terrorism, the appeal is very important here - it is the verkhovna rada, because terrorism and terrorist activities which it is the most dangerous in the modern world, it is the one that is most condemned by the united states of america, and especially after the terrorist attacks that took place on september 11, they approach these actions more harshly, therefore recognition in the event that the congress of the united states of america reacts to our appeal and recognizes the russian state as a state that supports and sponsors terrorism, this will be a very important victory for us in the war against the russian federation,

as it will allow significantly decisive to make decisions regarding the assets of the russian federation regarding the blocking of assets, including those of taxpayers who , in this way, actually support the activities of their state, support terrorist activities. things in the first days of the war, if i'm not mistaken, it was somewhere on the 29th or 28th, 29th of february, our committee for national security and defense intelligence at its meeting already then recognized the russian federation as a terrorist state that uses terrorist methods of waging war, and this is definitely during in the next month and a half, two and a half places in the verse are fully confirmed by concrete actions, but we are talking about the law e . by the russian state, terrorism as a terrorist has not been signed by the president at the moment and quite a lot of time

has passed since it was passed by the parliament , why why has the president not yet signed this important law, your opinion. i have no information why the president has not signed this law, and i think that since the verkhovna rada is preparing and passes a sufficiently large number of laws, they need to be worked out at the level of the president's office so that there are no issues that contradict the constitution of ukraine, because the basis for applying the law to the president is if the laws somehow contradict other laws or violate the constitution, then i think that this law will be signed in the near future, as well as a whole series of other laws that the verkhovna rada approved in the last sessions. well , even more so if you, as the representative of the president in the constitutional court, this law as i understand it , you support it and voted for it, you know , since the war, we actually have a unique case when, i believe, 90% of all

laws passed by the verkhovna rada of ukraine were adopted by a constitutional majority, that is, they were voted for by representatives of all political forces represented in the parliament, including the opposition, which before the war called themselves opposition, that is, laws are adopted by thermosts, three-masted 30-masts, by 50 votes of all who were present at the meeting, adopt and vote on these laws, that is why we talk about the fact that they are somehow in conflict, there is absolutely no reason. i am convinced that the president will definitely sign these laws, and you, of course, voted for this law and already know it to be necessary and in accordance with the constitution. thank you, mr. fedoriv, ​​fedir venislavskyi, a people's deputy of ukraine, a representative of the president in the traditional court and a member of the committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on national security , defense and intelligence, was in touch with us. russia as a terrorist state

directly calls the aggressor country a terrorist state and also prohibits the symbols used by the armed forces of the occupier in the war against ukraine, in particular, it is introduced criminal liability for the use of these letters zet and ve as symbols of war against ukraine well , this is extremely important, because the ukrainian foreign ministry called on western countries to introduce criminal liability for the use of the zed symbol, so we are waiting for this logical step of the president of ukraine and not signing of this law, which is important for our country, we have an aggressor country, a terrorist state in the world, an evil empire, to call it by its name by the name it deserves. well , after that, it also helps to attract it to responsibility for the country itself and its top management , right now we have a hmm small

economic block and we are in touch with us hleb vyshlinskyi executive director of the center of economic strategy congratulations mr. hleb yes good day let's start with the most inspiring topic of these days it is the default of the russian federation, unfortunately, it has not yet happened as predicted this week on may 4 , again experts said that the default of the russian federation is expected, but it has been postponed again despite the fact that under the influence of international of economic sanctions, the economy of russia, of course, where is it going? and russia, according to bloomberg, is constantly on the verge of default, and even if it is delayed, it still manages to pay off its debts in dollars according to contracts, experts emphasize that the devastating effect of sanctions due to the blocking of the sale of energy carriers is ahead, so what is your opinion mr. hleba, what is the state of the

russian economy today and what are its future prospects? we will see the economic collapse of the aggressor state well, to be honest, unfortunately, the russian economy is in a better state than we would like to hear, and this is connected with many factors. prohibitions, in particular , by the united states on the calculations of russia, because according to its enemies, because their expectations were not related to the fact that russia technically does not have the money physically to pay for its obligations, but because actually our international friends, the size and not the permission could not allow the omission of this payment in favor of those who own

the russian debt and what is much more important for ukraine than such a formal default is the actual significant reduction of the budget capacity for russia to finance the war and the main the way to reduce this capacity is our own energy sanctions, and that is why there is such a big war around them, and that is why we see that individual countries of the european union, such as hungary, which have historically closer ties and with russia, they are beginning to block these sanctions . of course, for some countries, there is an oil burden in the european union, even for our unambiguous friends, such as the czech republic, slovakia is difficult because they are actually connected to russia by an oil pipeline friendship, which supplies through which it goes the supply of most of the oil, accordingly, it is

processed at their oil refineries and this is a significant blow to their economies, but in the case of such countries, there may simply be the influence of moscow in order to prevent the loss of the article that brings about 40% of the revenues of the russian budget, that is, the revenues of the actual budget of russia, from which the military aggression against ukraine is financed, in particular, they are extremely from oil-dependent ukraine. therefore, now we see that this front is the most difficult. despite the fact that the head of the european commission is still in the first half of this last week announced that it was agreed what the sanction is, but it has not yet been released, not officially, but approved actually because of this great war, and here we are, in particular, every ukrainian who

has any influence on him, the positions of citizens other countries should make the most efforts , because it is actually a full-fledged, serious oil barge without holes, without opportunities, and it is essential for russia to earn from the sale of oil, and this is actually the tool that can force putin to sit down at the negotiating table with ukraine, agreeing on the conditions that i find acceptable for us, i would also like to talk about the direct losses of ukraine due to the war, which are constantly calculated by the kyiv school of economics. the russian invasion is equivalent to approximately 600 billion dollars, the total amount of infrastructure damage is almost 92 billion or 2.7 trillion hryvnias in the

last week. to move like this at 5 billion e-e dollars a week, it is difficult to imagine the scope of the marshall plan for ukraine, which should be planned for us, he spoke about the marshall plan this week at the international conference of donors for in warsaw, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, spoke about how you see the effective help of partners to promote the victory and then the reconstruction of ukraine. what is your view here? in fact, roads together with housing. these are the two largest items of losses, which

account for about two-thirds of all losses, but there is also a lot of other infrastructure, in particular, industrial and, in particular, cultural heritage literally today everyone has seen the information about the destruction of the building of the skovoroda museum in the kharkiv region. that is, these are all losses that can be calculated, that is, today we see that there are really somewhere around 100 billion, and these are already well calculated. of course, the preliminary estimates are not they rely on a full survey of each housing unit, but they rely on satellite images. they rely on the information provided by state enterprises, in particular, regarding their losses. and that is, these 100 billion is an estimate

which is good in terms of quality, which is generally consistent with the data of the world bank, is taken into account by us according to a slightly different methodology, but which leads to more or less the same estimates, when we are actually talking about numbers of 500 and more billion, then it is a slightly different number they include, in addition to the direct destruction, the loss of roman citizens, but they lose not physically, they lose as the inability of these enterprises to work as the most opportunity for people to earn money as the loss of human human life as the loss of health and in fact we must also include to of this figure, the losses that ukraine has received since 2014, because in fact it also had an impact

through zoning. and what russia did to the e-e in the donbas and it also limited investments to ukraine, we understand that actually taking into account those investments that will not come to ukraine and economic revenues that will not be created, then the number may really reach the trillion dollars that our politicians talk about, but today we have two big tasks for working with donors, the first task is closing the budget deficit in in april, according to the ministry of finance, the deficit was similar to the march deficit, and somewhere around three billion dollars, and if in march this deficit was fully covered by international partners, then in april only a part of it was covered, the part had to be financed by the purchase of military bonds by the national bank. now we

hear even more commitments from our international partners, i hope that in may we will receive more funding, this will allow the national bank to print money and replenish foreign exchange reserves, but then we must understand that every month we must receive at least these 3 billion dollars from international partners because otherwise we will have to either reduce budget expenditures or we will have to print money that will lead to higher inflation in ukraine, and the next task - this is really reconstruction and it will actually take place in parallel, because we see that now the nature of the war has changed, that essentially ukrainian ukraine is already beginning to rebuild the north with the funds of the state budget and local budgets the regions that were affected by the russian invasion, but were liberated, and accordingly it is necessary to start

rebuilding little by little in places, not even little by little, but rather quickly, and kyiv sumy, chernihiv region, and then look at more plans for the territories that will be quietly liberated with the armed forces in the future, mr. vyshlinsky, in your materials, in your posts, articles, you talk about the importance of the speed of recovery of ukraine, please explain this aspect, why is it so important to act extremely dynamically for ukraine and the world in order for this aid to arrive in the shortest possible time and in the shortest possible time for the restart of the country in a new capacity, its reconstruction and the beginning of full functioning. so this is extremely important because we need to, in parallel, rebuild housing for for those ukrainians who lost it, we need to create jobs for them

in the settlements where they left , and if this is not done quickly, together with the creation of social infrastructure, of course necessary communal services in these cities, we have a very high risk of losing a large share of ukrainian citizens to women and children who are now abroad because if they have nowhere to return to, if there is no opportunity for their families to earn money in ukraine, then accordingly they e- they can already take advantage of the not short-term but long-term hospitality of our neighbors of the countries of the european union and stay there forever after the end of the war , men can join them and it will be an extremely big loss for ukraine, they can to be millions of ukrainians eh and eh these are the millions of ukrainians who could actually work for the reconstruction of the economy for the reconstruction of ukraine precisely because that

actually does not depend on the direct uh-uh of military actions and on the uh-uh results of the actual war itself, and it must happen as soon as possible, that is, everything that can be financed right now and of course, if we are talking about the end of hostilities and some kind of peace agreement, then in no case should there be a delay in time between the time when peace is achieved and when the money goes to ukraine not reconstruction because in fact when we remember the same all the time the marshall plan there was exactly that delay and in fact it started only after the actual three years after hitler's germany was it capitulated thank you mr. hleba i will just add that
