viktor medvedchuk's new testimony regarding petro poroshenko, the situation in sumy oblast, where there are ongoing attempts to break through the border, and the economic forum in davos, which has started today. russian soldier vadim shishimarin , accused of murdering a civilian resident of sumy oblast, was sentenced to life imprisonment. the court found him guilty of violating the laws and customs of war. radio svoboda correspondent taras levchenko followed the trial. the judge announced his sentence for an hour, and most of that time, 21-year-old russian sergeant vadym shishimarin looks at the floor occasionally nods to his translator and listens to the restored chronology of the murder of 62-year-old oleksandr shelepov, an unarmed ukrainian from sumy oblast. if earlier the defendant russian military man said that he shot at a civilian with a machine gun unintentionally and not aiming due to the order of a superior in rank. now

the court is establishing the head of the victim and where he died. reflect the military ranks of the prosecution , he did not know her personally, the order was illegal, therefore he should not have carried it out, but he still carried it out, so they did not care about him at the time. in the end on february 15, shishimari was with four of his special agents in a stolen car . he said that they demanded from him to pull the trigger on a civilian who was passing by on a bicycle and was talking on the phone. she was afraid that he would not reveal the location of the russian troops. however, the judges did not recognize this as sufficient mitigating circumstances for of the verdict of knowledge of the murder and the public remorse of shishimarin during the previous hearings of marina vadim evgeniyovych, born on october 17, 2000, to be found guilty of committing a criminal offense

criminal offense and sentence him to life imprisonment more than a year ago, according to the tv channel zivostvo vremya, he worked at mcdonald's, got into debt, which, according to journalists, was the reason for signing the army contract , so he killed a person. all the circumstances that happened at that time, there are no two witnesses who should have been questioned, especially one of the witnesses gave this order, these two witnesses were given to russia under the exchange procedure already under however, according to the prosecutors, they had time to take evidence. but the evidence , in particular, the russian-made automatic rifle seized from the convicted person, indicates the guilt of shishimarin . and this is not so small for a criminal proceeding, in which there is one episode of criminal

activity, the verdict was given to shimarin, a native of the irkutsk region, and to a sergeant of the fourth tank division of the kantemyrivsk division of the moscow oblast can be appealed within a month, according to his lawyer, shishimarin wants to go home, now the prosecutors do not undertake to predict whether they will exchange this russian soldier for one of the ukrainian fighters from azovstal, as the widow of the ukrainian killed by him wanted, contact us yury shelepov, the son of the murdered oleksandr shelepov, my greetings to you good evening, first of all, please accept our condolences from all of us and i would like to ask you what sentence you expected and whether you are satisfied with this sentence who received the shisha marvin, first of all, i expected exactly such a verdict because, well, it couldn’t be the second. and

war come, when russian servicemen entered your settlement, and what about he said that he thought about it all and everyone was confused. i called at around 6:30. they still were. well, they were still. well, let's say they were sleeping. i'm sure i say that the war has started. he says that it can't be. i say yes, the war has started. they will bomb kiev until that time, until they start. there are columns through they are driving in the village, especially no one has yet realized that it is real, that it is free, he did not want to leave the village, it all happened so suddenly

that well, i have a car, i could come and pick it up, but it is the bombing of a column through the village , and maybe they wanted to go, but i emphasize that i am not going anywhere, so be it, be it kremenchuk well, i thought, well, how can you calm down a little, i will really come and pick them up well, it didn't work out i understand that your mother stays where she lived so so so so she stays there i say well, let her come to me. she says no, i don't want to. i've lived here for 40 years. i know everyone and that's all. she says i'll somehow get used to it. i'll get used to it

my mother calls me and screams, they killed my father , they shot me, and i disappeared with us. link yury shalpov, the son of oleksandr shellipov, who was killed in sumy region, a russian serviceman was tried today for this murder, well, let's move on to the next topic , people's deputy viktor medvedchuk, who is suspected of treason and aiding terrorism, told about the scheme to remove part of the main oil product from the state property of the samara pipeline in the western direction for the further pumping of diesel fuel through it in his video confession published by the security service of ukraine , by the way, we do not know under what circumstances this video was recorded, so on it medvedchuk reveals his role in the scheme former ukrainian president petro poroshenko, according to medvedchuk , he dealt with the pipeline issue at the request of poroshenko, and in addition, medvedchuk told the details

schemes for the purchase of coal in the occupied territories , well, practically from the leaders of the groups of the dpr of the lpr, so medvedchuk says that in fact the whole of the then state apparatus, including president poroshenko, was involved in this scheme in 2016, when president poroshenko turned to me with a request to consider my contacts and relations with me among the leadership of the russian federation about the purchase of a pipe or the carpathians who owned this pipe for the supply of diesel to ukraine and europe, he turned to me so that i could talk with by the president of the russian federation, vladimir putin, so that transneft could sell this pipe and so that it would be possible to buy back this pipe, as it turned out later, as

it turned out later, mr. poroshenko in the party of petro poroshenko, european solidarity stated that viktor medvedchuk, quote, is selling his testimony against poroshenko to avoid responsibility for anti-ukrainian activities he is now ready to declare anything about anyone. in the statement of european solidarity, poroshenko's lawyer ihor golovan stated that the video of the sbu does not correspond to reality, contact us rostislav pavlenko, people's deputy of ukraine, european solidarity, my greetings to you good day, petro poroshenko's team says that this whole story from the video is pr of the sbu . what is from the

sbu ? some exchanges, uh, then there is information that there may be some kind of improvement of the conditions, that is, he actually ran in and traded some better conditions, he thinks that if we say what they want to hear from him, his situation will improve, he will be able to avoid responsibility for those real crimes what he did. well, in the end, he is now saying something that directly contradicts everything he said before, that is, he wants to avoid being punished in this way for all the accusations that are now being made against him, including from law enforcement agencies of ukraine can be any, we know the facts, we know that he is in prison, we know that you very correctly said in the summary that we do not know under what conditions it was recorded, let's call it a video message, this is a

segment that was published by us instead we know that he himself says that he wants to take part in some kind of exchange so that he can be exchanged for someone there. that is, we see too many facts that show that he is at least not a reliable source, and you know, during the war, to disclose such things and throw them away just when society would obviously like to discuss other issues and hear answers from the authorities to completely different problems. well, this looks like a kind of political shulder , what is the motivation then in the sbu to be tangentially tangential to this, as you say shuler, your opinion, well, look we are talking about this outpost, right here very correctly and very timely map if i didn't show it there on the air we are not talking about what is happening at the front we are not talking about victims we are talking about

provision we are not talking about a lot of things well and about a lot of things that you talk about what's happening. i'm talking about what, for example, you and i are discussing about this character that you have here on the screen instead of talking about other things, i'm not saying that you don't discuss on the air at all i once also had the honor of cooperating with radio svoboda. i know that you have the highest standards. it is obvious that you are saying this in principle, but today we have already spent a few minutes with you in this section instead of those problems about which society would obviously like to have more information and more reasoned conversation well, because serious accusations are being made, in fact, the 5th president is being accused of cooperating with the leaders of the dnr of the lpr, look at such accusations , three years of mr. zelensky's stay in power, uh, such accusations were coming from mr.

derkach, such accusations were coming from panages in of the army, such an accusation was heard from mr. kolomoisky, such an accusation was heard from mr. portnov, and after their statements, criminal cases were initiated there, once poroshenko's lawyers counted them there are a few dozen, almost a hundred, and not one of them has been proven even to the point that people are not ashamed to show it, and here suddenly we again see a recurrence of this, we see again despite all the statements, the literally recent statements of president zelensky that society has outgrown a lot of things that must be left in the past, we are again seeing a return to these political accusations , we are again seeing a return to selective justice and well, now such a very fashionable phrase seems out of time, that's right so now, why do you say that this political controversy has before it the whole story, if it is a

political order, then as a rule he has a customer well, so far we can see what went wrong with this, so far we can draw a conclusion based on indirect signs who oversees this topic is a certain tatarov, who managed many issues. according to poroshenko's accusations, this is what we can do, it's called extreme hunting from the facts, and what will the president's reaction be? well, let's see. physically in kyiv, the process is the same, there is the preparation. i think it’s probably the involvement of some kind of discussion. well, for now, we’re talking about those people, but you also show one of the characters who , er, were tangential to this and who manifested themselves so er was there an order at the highest level? well, let's see how history will develop it. what i can say for sure is that it is now harming the country, harming

unity. it is not moving the country forward. well , agree, society must get answers to the questions. there were connections with mr. poroshenko. was there with the so-called dpr or lpr whether it was with the mediation of medvedchuk or without mediation , that is, questions remain, questions do not remain because not all of these questions have been exhausted , and president poroshenko and his representatives have repeatedly answered that there was nothing that would harm the interests of the state and not a very large-scale russian invasion, and when the entire government , starting with the president and continuing with all the current representatives, continues to talk about unity and the need to maintain a united front. circumstances to do petro is a position of political power we still hope that this is not a declaration

of internal war on the part of the authorities that this is an excess of the executor and but there is such a thing in the venison seems to have had such a similar phrase for useful idiots oh i really hope that this is someone who really wants to please the president zelenskiy has and will have such things, i really hope for the wisdom of er and that this shameful page will be closed as soon as possible. thank you for your comment rostyslav pavlenko people's deputy of ukraine european solidarity this is what we were talking about in the video which was published the day before by the sbu today, or rather, regarding medvedchuk, the kremlin said that they are not going to exchange ukrainian fighters from azov stalin, putin’s godfather viktor medvedchuk, putin’s spokesman dmytro piskov said this is a military man , let me remind you that earlier the ukrainian side repeatedly offered to exchange medvedchuk for ukrainian soldiers, in particular from azovstal, but in the kremlin, such an

idea was repeatedly rejected, meanwhile, the deputy the head of the russian foreign ministry, andriy rudenko, said that he allows discussions with ukraine on the exchange of defenders in mariupol. on friday, the russian ministry of defense reported that all ukrainian fighters had left azovstal, and today, at the same time, the russian ministry of defense announced that russian sappers had begun demining the belarusian armed forces in azovstal. are intensively conducting reconnaissance and deploying additional units in the border areas. this was reported by the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. from the territory of the republic of belarus , alexander lukashenko has now arrived in russian sochi for further talks with russian president vladimir putin, as previously reported by the belarusian side, lukashenko and putin allegedly plan to discuss the integration of the two countries within the framework of the union state. well, some regional issues from lukashenko during of this

meeting, he told putin that he was worried about the plans of nato and poland to take western ukraine. too, that they will already take political steps to expand ukraine, what worries us is that they are ready, the poles, the nato forces, to come out and help in this way to take away western ukraine as of the 9th year, this is the old life, not only from the point of view of today's security, this strategy is also for western belarus that's why we keep our ears open for communication with us. mykhailo samych, an expert at the army conversion and disarmament research center, we congratulate you. i congratulate you. let's start with the last meeting between putin and lukashenka, where he says that there is trouble state, is lukashenko of any use to putin in this war, how can he still come to his aid? well, in general, if we talk about belarus

, can it still be used in the war in some way? under the control of the russian federation, especially from a military point of view, that is, russia, from a military point of view, does whatever it wants on the territory of belarus, they launch missiles at ukraine, they bring special operations forces to us, they carry out shelling of ukrainian territories, in principle, according to my data, belarusian military personnel also took part in operations on the territory of ukraine, therefore, from the point of view of the military, belarus is completely integrated into the military structure of the russian federation. and what is the importance of lukashenko? well, if you imagine that putin cleans lukashenko physically and this can be done in just a few minutes for putin, in fact there is a question

of control over belarusians it suits if you imagine that now lukashenka will remove it, there will be more problems, er, this is the sis-management in belarus, because it is obvious that there will be a rebellion , er, against the new regime that will be put in place by putin, and these will be er problems, that's why putin is forced to tolerate this geopolitical hummingbird what's his name because he's even now he's holding his talks in sochi, but in fact he's sending signals to the un and the european union, trying to declare that he's not actually a war criminal , that's all putin forced him, he probably held a gun in the temple, but in reality, lukashenko is the same war criminal as putin. and why do you read these signals like that, only signals that he is sending

signals to the un there and somewhere else that he is not a military man, not a war criminal, he is his un today and read his letter or something appeal what kind of peace are they? they would like stabilization. they would like uh, peace in the whole world, but uh, they also can't abandon their ally, but at the same time, he did not participate in any war crimes. says what is his emissaries are trying to contact the europeans, this has been known for a long time. therefore, he is already trying to create ways of retreat, and in the event that putin really gets his destination to the international tribunal somewhere, then lukashenko will put all the blame on him and try to somehow avoid this situation. obviously, lukashenko understands that putin

has already lost strategically and therefore well, create some ways of retreat now let's talk about mariupol now the russian side is already reporting that they have started demining azovstali and this as far as i understand, it says that the city is under russian control, what are the chances that ukraine will return mariupol and what can or will it depend on, the chances of returning mariupol are also the same as the chances of returning other ukrainian territories, mariupol is no different from kherson or donetsk. i think the chances are very high why do you think so because i will repeat again putin suffered a strategic defeat on february 24th he uh didn't achieve what he wanted he wanted to put ukraine under control he wanted to destroy the ukrainian nation and he wanted uh in

his puppets were sitting in kyiv, this did not happen, the ukrainian army, the ukrainian people, the ukrainian nation began to fight and it was a complete surprise for him, that is why he can now spin in donbas, he can now throw all his soldiers into the furnace. the fact is that after signing the same land lease act, ukraine will receive powerful resources that will allow it to oppose the really large military machine of the russian federation, after all, russia is a country of 140 million huge, all the soviet ones left, including armored vehicles, artillery, and so on, but in any case, ukraine now receives support from our western allies no less than russia has, and in addition, more and more will

appear in russia now scrap metal on the battlefield, and in ukraine, on the contrary, more and more new models of western military equipment will appear, a group of independent investigative journals, confideli john steam , and they are talking about the fact that in one and a half to two months, the ukrainian army will go on a large-scale how realistic is this forecast? now the russian army is carrying out the russian general and trying to prove to putin that they can

still achieve something in the north donets popasnya direction in the donbass in the estuary area and so on, this will be the last the rush of the russian army will continue, the russians will try to take an operational pause and fix the situation on the battlefield, starting to appeal to our western partners that there will be speed, there will be a famine , soon there will be a political crisis, soon there will be problems for the whole of europe and the world, so let's force the ukrainians to sign some minsk three or istanbul 4 and stop hostilities, that is, russia understands that after a certain time, ukraine receives sufficient potential to start counter-strike operations, a powerful counter- strike operation just for this time russia will already run out of steam with its offensive actions and will become er trying to go on the defensive and er through

diplomatic channels to fix these new lines or at least the old lines february 23 i think that just ukraine in the next few weeks we will begin to receive er western weapons as much as possible, which on the one hand, it will stop the possibility of shelling ukrainian cities with cruise ballistic missiles that will knock out the russian federation in tension, and on the other hand, it will receive high-precision long-range artillery and those means that can affect the enemy's ranks in depth, that is, prepare a counteroffensive when you can destroy command posts at a depth of 50-100 km, destroy the logistics of the system ensuring management and so on. well, i'm asking about time, you say. you wouldn't focus on time because president zelenskyi has extended martial law

until the end of the summer, and oleksiy reznikov also made statements that it looks like the war is turning into such a protracted one phase and all this indicates that the war will last a long time, so i am asking when this turning point of a turning point will come, such as a bright turning point, which , for example, happened in kyiv region in chernihiv region when they started to flee. i really think that it will not happen again, they will try to fix those new lines in the kherson region and in zaporizhzhia and in donetsk luhansk and possibly in kharkiv and that's why the ukrainian army will face very difficult tasks. it will not be easy. there will be tough battles, including, but everything will depend on the concentration of the latest weapons. if we talk about time, well, and i will repeat once again, we are fighting with the largest country in the world, we are fighting with a

country that has been accumulating huge arsenals since the time of the soviet union. simply huge arsenals of soviet weapons, ammunition and so on, that is , there is a lot of iron in russia, the only thing that is very good is the news that they have little normal iron left. us meat but in principle, right now, right now, we can say that on the battlefield in ukraine, no, no, there are all the boni troops who
