which is now taking place in the so-called court of the illegal armed group of the dpr controlled by russia, which actually convicted three foreigners who signed a contract with the armed forces of ukraine before the start of the full-scale invasion of russia, it is about two britons and a moroccan citizen, the foreigners defended mariupol and the court of the so-called dpr actually convicted them to the death penalty today he called it a war crime britain says that the answer will be tough actually what can we say about this story or will the highest highest be applied first measure of punishment, secondly, what does the cream achieve and what will be the reaction of the world, is it still possible to stop this process? well, i am murder, first of all, this is of course. well, we understand that the kremlin is doing it. - it's a funny scene, and the

kremlin is just playing its game. they can judge like that in the dpr of the lpr, they sentence everyone to the death penalty, that is, this is also a signal that in general, all the tegutieroshis are speaking, and so on. you could not exchange them quickly, you were prisoners of war, you were prisoners of war. i don't think that history will go anywhere quickly. i don't think that the convicted felons will be portrayed now. but by then they will think about the stakes. i believe that putin will speak and you you are talking to the dpr, the period that is possible depends on the state itself, it was conducted that he, we recognized them, you are here, please, brits from marakans, you go and talk to him, what and how, how he changes, that is, he increases their subjectivity before the events of what is possible, they referred to

the joining of all these e - in the unrecognized republics of all these separatist republics, an educated russian and this is a well-thought-out plan, they actually sanctioned exactly this sentence to the death penalty, and remember, slutsky spoke there and then put his words back in his mouth took it away, then again they talked about it, this is the result. and the quick-fire courts are clear without any law, what does there even say about any process, but just one thing, and one thing is arbitrary 1 yes, i think that this will exclude the negotiating positions that they will use, imagine that they are concocting it that's true, we won't change the consequences of the day. and what if tomorrow our relatives pushed us, they will die, you know, the british intelligence together with the sbu will take someone, and he must also give himself a report. we

do n't see it. but at some point some perfectly predictable deaths begin, so we remember how in the soviet years, when we didn’t train like that at all. there are many advisers and from cuban consciences , so they will stop saying so, and here they can go in a completely unpredictable way. it used to be possible to say, but it is possible, but it is impossible, remember when they poisoned lytvynenko as a violinist, or now a little different rules have started, and here people can think differently

about the situation. well, you are a political and public figure. and the blogger was with us on the we connect we continue in a few moments stay with espresso and the saturday political club will be back in a moment the air force of ukraine stands in defense of the sky space of our state highly maneuverable and mobile units destroy the enemy in the air on land and at sea during the war the air force

proved its loyalty to the ukrainian people showed that neither on earth nor in heaven, the occupier will have no rest, what fought, but there will be victory zhanna x thank you thank you thank you support get excited tell our defenders how you feel about the military project from ukrainians send a message to cool viber 099 214-60-40 and our presenters will announce everything right away, everything will

be fine ukraine mariupol was an industrial center not long ago it's just a wonderful city on the seashore and now the city is a martyr, a city for which the heart of every ukrainian hurts, the russians wanted to capture mariupol for another 8 years that's why they destroyed the city, shelled peaceful quarters, but all in vain, but how did mariupol survive in 2014-2015, artem shevchenko's documentary mariupol, the city of the unconquered , june 13 at 10:30 p.m. on espresso my name is ilya

berezenko eight years ago, i started working on the espresso tv channel. i started by covering the events of the revolution of dignity. the express tv channel then tried to shut down many times the first days of the full -scale russian invasion of ukraine. hromad my name is artem shevchenko. i am a senior lieutenant of the armed forces of ukraine. before that, i was a journalist all the time i actively cooperated with the espresso tv channel. i am chornovol tetyana, junior lieutenant, fire calculation commander of the stugna anti-tank missile defense system. here, i picked up this lucky tube from a rocket. it was from it that the rocket that crushed an enemy tank flew out only 20 km

from kyiv. i worked at espresso for the last year. i want to say that there i also stopped russian tanks . i work as a director on the espresso tv channel. on february 24, i joined the ranks of the armed forces in order to defend the independence of our country with arms in hand. my colleagues remained on the front lines of the information front or defending one of the most fundamental values ​​of a democratic society, freedom of speech, information security of the state, the decision to turn on these espresso tv channels from the t2 digital network is no other than some kind of information political er political if you want persecution or a stupid

political decision, i can’t name it, i don’t know if it was an oversight or this is a real special operation in order to harm the ukrainian broadcaster. but i believe that in the conditions of war this is at least an application for treason, we have the right to know who did it and did he have any grounds for this, moreover, we have the right to demand that espresso be returned to the armed forces of ukraine , do not deny these victories. ukraine is winning precisely because the voice of the patriots is being heard. what about ukraine

? today we continue the political club maria gurska vitaliy portnikov and talk about the main events of this political week, well actually today vitaliy us president joe biden said that the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, rejected his warning that russia would invade ukraine. biden said this during a political fundraiser in los angeles. the bloomberg agency wrote about this quote. many people thought that i might be exaggerating, but i knew and we had intelligence data for confirmation that putin is planning to cross the border in such a way zelensky did not want to hear this, as did many other people, biden said well, in fact, the spokesman of volodymyr zelensky, serhiy nikiforov , said that the president of ukraine was aware of the risk of a full-scale invasion, but the partners did not listen to his request for preventive

sanctions about this nikifor was taken in the comments eliza, no, what do you think about this dialogue between biden and e. bankova and did they really do everything they could on the eve of the invasion, and in fact the world did not do its homework well, i have to say that, in general, joseph biden is an incredibly frank person, so sincere, this is important in american politics, by the way, there are different politicians, yes, there are such as there are such as trump, but they are quite sincere and quite open to audience i think that bayden is a person with a lot of experience, unlike, let's say, volodymyr zelensky, who zelensky is quite young, she survived his slavic war, bayden was directly involved in these processes, he saw how people would die in a barrel, he tried to help the arms supplier at the time, but he was only a senator, not a president and not a minister, and there was little he could do from this point of view, remember he was in

afghanistan, he was sorry that he was already the president, he had such information, absolutely the exclusive is trying to stop it, and the people who will be the first to suffer from it don't want to believe it, and he already said, i understand why he didn't believe it. well, because even if she is the president, but if she's not a professional politician, it's very difficult for her to take uh into account that it will happen that all the usual life will disappear forever. after all, you have to understand that this usual life has disappeared forever, and not only for every ukrainian who woke up there on february 24, 2022, it has also disappeared for zelensky , and it will never be the same, that is you are just a president who builds roads and cuts ribbons there who has a parliamentary majority and hopes for the development of the economy. well, now you are the head of a warring country with an economy that is already collapsing by 50%, the gross

product will drop with cities that are occupied, 20% of the territory is occupied with the enemy, which wants to kill you and your family is hunting you, your relatives, your loved ones, and this too and this can also continue for decades zelensky may no longer be the president and the russian special services will develop plans to destroy him they will never they are given because he is the president in this period is such an obvious thing for them and it is terribly scary to understand what you chose when you engaged in political activity and of course so psychologically you close your eyes so as not to see anything, not to hear it, not to think, of course you make some decisions, but in such a song you convince i wonder if there will be an attack, maybe only there in donbas, well, again, zelensky was not alone, there were people who were just analysts there, remember, i used to conduct a broadcast with you and we talked about such a possibility but when deputies and experts came to see me there, i asked them whether there would be an attack and what they all said no, well

, most of them said no, recently my colleague from the russian service of radio svoboda olena rykovtseva, she simply compiled a digest of what was said by the famous russian military expert pavlo filingauer, who for years and on our broadcasts, by the way, do you remember that he told me this whole plan, the truth is that we will do it ourselves, we will be honest, we will eat ourselves, at some point we stopped inviting you, remember, because it is impossible to hear what he is saying, why is he all the time talking about the possibility of a big war well , it became such a meme well, let's invite about gangaur , let him be the audience. knew that russia would resort to insidious tactics of deportation, forced

abduction, removal of our people, they carried the territory , he said it in kiev, it was true, but i did not think that i was a philhaver, i'm just not a military expert, you understand because i said it as about the general political situation. maybe it's just that i don't understand myself. it's crazy how it happens. you know, you were talking about putin, or he doesn't understand himself, but then i didn't believe in eh at the end of 21 i don't want to turn to the topic now why did zelensky believe, don't you believe, the war will end, it will be necessary to create a state commission to investigate the responsibility of each rank and file for how the situation was prepared before the war and it should be a purely official decision, the verkhovna rada has such a commission to create and we will find out to what extent this is not a matter of faith, it is not believed in the matter of activity of inaction, it is true, but i would like them to make judgments and conclusions for the future

. it will be why in the end the actual e-e was detained in serbia, as reported by ukrainian pravda, the ex-head of the internal security department of the sbu, andrii naumov, on suspicion of money laundering. he headed the department until july 21, when president zelenskyi gave him the title brigadier general after the start of a full-scale war took this rank and olena tuma himself left ukraine shortly before the russian invasion she is new to the sbu. so why did he run away? well, he ran away alone. medvedchuk's wife ran away. do you remember february 23 or the 22nd, something like that, across the belarusian border ? this deputy is a pro-russian voloshyn, who, to me, voloshyn seems to be from the police station. voloshyn crossed the border.

the border with belarus on what date, well, there in a few days, in about a few days lyovochkin and his sister nakapfera when it was, that is, you know with salt, let's say that all the people who had the opportunity to get information not from the new york times, but directly from their uh, good acquaintances in the kremlin, which was simply called by some signal or some kind of connection, i told siryoga that he would leave for a few days in a few days, but it’s not all legal until it’s better not to be flattered there, well, the russians, in general, i think he’ll be there for 7 days they will fight, why not go to belarus for seven days, well, that’s what naumov could have thought too. by the way, he is not going forever. and that he will return to head the sbu for yanukovych, let’s say, from some agent , but you know very well that it is not naumov

at all ran away, the problem is not even that he ran away before the war, but the problem is that he is a person who had access to the entire agency of the sbu abroad. i do not know how much of this agency he had access to the agency of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine, but he knew this about the sbu he is actually the boss of security, uh, and i compare it, you know, with what, with what happened in the 90s, and with what i consider to be our biggest failure there for all the decades in a row, the last head of the state security committee of the ukrainian ssr, general halushka, went to moscow and became the minister of state there security of the russian federation in a christmas tree. what do you think when a person with such a general's epaulettes and such experience with such an archive moves to moscow? the activities of the security service of

ukraine from the point of view of the agency of everything else remain a secret for moscow. that is everything is so clear and the surname and some vulnerable areas and relatives and money and now after that and whether it happened again when it was what was his surname yakymenko the head of the sbu for yanukovych fled to moscow well, not empty-handed either well now the deputy of bakanov that is, this it happens every time, he is now in serbia in his heart, he was arrested in serbia, i would be happy if he was arrested in macedonia, i wrote this to my colleagues in cologne, what happened in general, he is known there. by the way, he was arrested as a ukrainian smuggler a german citizen, but this well-known ukrainian e-e smuggler against whom sanctions will be introduced, which have never come into effect precisely because , together with the sciences, he is a person with a fortune that exceeds the fortunes of all scientists combined. although i do not know, i do not know how much you can earn in the sbu it 's been a few years of such work, but he's in

belgrade, the russian special services in serbia, you almost feel like you're at home, in principle , people, well, not so, well, not so, but not bad, that is, a person at the level of a resident of the federal service of security at the russian embassy in serbia, in principle , we have the opportunity through the leadership of the special services to have access to the conditions of the serbs, but the ukrainian diplomats do not, and so i say that my macedonian friends said that they did not even know anything about the stay in the conditions in north macedonia, so it means it specially they introduced yanukovych there, just as they once introduced yanukovych into crimea. i think that the people who told him that he got to serbia, they gave him guarantees of security in themselves, in fact, you needed him to fall into this trap, how to fix

got into this detention center investigator as a smuggler with huge sums of money and now the glass is how many of us are there 200 or 15 years tied up in a serbian prison serbian prisons are not a swiss difference and of course now the russians will negotiate with him so that he tells a lot about the current ukrainian leadership is very dangerous, very dangerous, why and for the state, dangerous, dangerous specifically for zelenskyi, specifically for the tank, you understand, for their relatives, this is a serious figure, a serious story. well, another matter, what about which is also asked by the imf, serhii rakhmanin, is it actually ukrainian pravda, referring to own sources, wrote that in the first days of the war, ivan bokanov was also not in kyiv, they could not find him, irichmanin could not confirm this information, but said that on all he did not

see the meetings at which he was with the president in the first days of the war until the new one. although he was the only one from the president's entourage who should have been present, who was actually absent. in the first days of the war, and why the occupation of the south took place so quickly, and it suggests that this hmm probably testifies to the most effective activity of the state authorities of the military units and suggests that it will actually be necessary to find out whether this is the result of fear or treason that was planned the head of the sbu, how should he be in some area where he performed his official duties, i will not rush to throw stones at him, that is, the head of the security service does not necessarily have to be at the moment but of course we we have to find out where he was, obviously. when it will be a matter of state security, it is at least important to know for hysterical historians and for hysterical stalin as well. as you remember, everything is very

worrying to me. in the 41st year, he went to the dacha , sat there and kept silent. a smuggler, a bank robber, and then suddenly his country was attacked by a huge state with which he was going to be friends and share the world, well, after a few days, he recovered, but everyone remembered this later to the party leadership that in fact this whole iron stalin is no iron no no no stalin -he trembled, trembling, such a creature and only thanked the army and the people there, he got out of his shelter and began to say something, but it was in a few days, if people react differently but again, it is not our happiness, he thinks that what president zelensky already the first day i appealed to not in the first hour,

let it be, but on the first day i appealed to the ukrainians, it was our asset, but it is definitely necessary to find out what happened with the officials and what was said in western intelligence that the president was offered evacuation from kyiv, yes evacuation from bankova together with his family, the president abandoned this plan and stayed with his people, of course, you know there were three baltic presidents, the president of lithuania, smitona, the president of latvia, and the president of estonia, five football players, five died smetona escaped from russian prisons in exile, but i wouldn't say that this improved his historical reputation. he lived a long life and led the resistance to political emigration, but everyone always remembered that he left the lithuanian government at the mercy of the russian soviet occupation

, despite the fact that he was responsible for this, because he, like the ulman native of pytets, signed an agreement with the soviet union on the deployment of soviet troops on the territory of the russian republic. well, if you have already signed this agreement, then sit down. you are signing a death sentence, what are you doing ? well, this is always the question of people's deputy oleksiy kovalev, and he deserves a few words on our broadcast of words of shame, who went to the occupied kherson region, admitted that he cooperates with the russian invaders and supported the annexation of the region by russia, kovalev's own membership in the faction of the political force, the servant of the people was suspended after these statements, and actually the people's deputies will initiate the deprivation of kovalev's mandate, but this is a shock story , in fact, the people's deputy of the verkhovna rada of ukraine and from the pro-government political force, what do you

think about this in italy, what should a systemic solution to the problem look like, we faced such during these 108 days of war, but it mainly concerned representatives of pro-russian political forces, i will say that i am shocked, i will say that i am happy, deputies from uh, who then went from their people to the parliament, they chose the questionnaire almost by chance, but i read the whole anatomy there that this kovalev was recommended by some other person who was also there, some agrarian businessman in the kherson region, they knew someone there he was an activist there at that headquarters, well, you remember , the servant of the people party was created literally in a matter of weeks from completely random people, there were people who, of course, knew the president there personally, who were some public figures or bloggers there, but there was a minority, well, that is, this minority we see it there from time to time on the air. yes , we will speak for some statements. most of the people are anonymous, the fact that from this entire huge faction, only one person is a collaborator. i hope

that he will not appear again. so this does not speak of disadvantages it's about being lucky , because when politics consists of random numbers, anything can happen, and here it turns out that none of these deputies, you know, should have betrayed the homeland. besides, you idiot, you understand, so i wouldn't complain the government is bad. look, no, no, given the principle of the formation of the government, anything could have happened, but it didn't. this does not even speak of the health of the government, but of the health of the nation, you understand because all these people, in principle, were from the people this is such an apolitical railway, because the beach system of people has never been interested in politics, this says again that in such a situation, the people are not collaborators, the nation is not a collaborator, this is very important because, you know, collaborators, i sometimes have such people, we already have one a great norwegian hamsa club nobel laureate you can say singer of the norwegian soul can you

imagine that some ukrainian cultural figure would be a collaborator would go to some kind of agreement with the russians you know i read such a thing such and such technology idiot i i don't remember what i'm telling you about, i was thinking about the writer from mariupol now, i can't remember our last name, i'll have to look later, she's from azov, er, reactivity by origin, and she wrote books about mariupol all her life , that's what the theme and creativity were for her and documentary artistic veins - this is the mariupol of this greek community, an already elderly woman was the first such woman member of the ukrainian writer's union of her time and died of hunger and cold, this is the story of a figure of ukrainian culture. you understand, this is not the story of a whip gamps well, in general, in our art, basically everyone is at the front right now, yes, yes, i say. well, we may have

different complaints against different deputies, but here is only this one. i am not talking about the deputies of the opzzh faction. they never hid that they are not our deputies , they are russians are here and despite that, despite the fact that vitaly , what are you charging with your optimism to say that this is still good news, not bad? i still don't feel any less ashamed because of such and such news . in 1968, a delegation headed by oleksandr dubchyk came to moscow during the prague spring, and there they forced some comedians to sign. there was only one member of the czechoslovak poli bureau of this compact, who said that it was a shame and he would

not sign it. a doctor from ivano-frankivsk, a french crucible of the name , was born in ukraine, then moved to prague just to work well, you know what happened in the conditions of austria-hungary, and this ivano-frankiv doctor turned out to be the only person who, with honor, did not he was afraid, and the russians took him, took him away, forced him, he still did not sign. they said that they would own his position. the czechoslovak delegation said that they are sorry. but we will not go to prague, we came here, there 10 times, we signed, we did everything, but if we do not go without a member of the pre-election party and the russians released him, they had to release him and send him home, of course he had problems at home, but i say that courage can always be found even in such a situation. let's talk about the good stuff
