expect anything from russia. well, if the siren sounds during this final competition, i don't know what the participants of this show will do, thank you, thank you, mr. volodymyr khodogii was with us on the air, we have to finish our issue, this is the 114th day of the war russia against ukraine on this day, the european commission recommended granting ukraine the status of a candidate for accession to the european union, where narcification from the president's office, why the espresso tv channel was turned off from the digital air partly yes and partly broadcast a person who is very much in love with we are many narcissists, i understand what threatens ukraine , the attack on freedom of speech means that ukraine does not

meet the criteria even for candidacy for membership of the eu and how the tv channel defends the right to broadcast, see more for more than two months without almost half of the viewers, on april 4, the state operator of television and radio broadcasting, the concern rrt, turned it off for no reason espresso from the t2 network during this time, we tried to reach all possible authorized bodies , and human rights and cultural community media figures expressed their support for the channel scientists, domestic and european politicians, and everything to no avail in the digital network espresso is still not available, and ukrainian officials continue to reject the illegal decision that threatens the loss of jobs of almost a hundred patriotic journalists, and this is a real pressure on free media, says the chairman of the board of internews

ukraine, konstantin quart is the main one for me marker uh, you know what a silky collaborationism the above-mentioned channels are, well, they were not noticed at all . this is very important to understand, there is a difference in this, uh, well, if, for example, turning off tv channels named after medvedchuk. we support them because when they are collaborators with three channels about some, well, today, yes, let’s go. well, we don’t support it because, well, this is a clearly pro-ukrainian position. in an interview with the left bank newspaper, the adviser to the head of the office, mykhailo podolyak, said that espresso was turned off, allegedly for good reasons, despite the fact that the channel broadcast 50% of the telethon, only news, and partially broadcast a person who is very much in love with us

i understand narcissists in our country, politics is built on narcissism as such, we often sell narcissists. by the way, this is again a question of the professional quality of the information of ukraine. poroshenko, this person is in love and she is in love with herself. as part of a single information package, in fact , mykhailo podolyak's statement has nothing to do with reality. espresso journalists emphasize that the tv channel is a separate independent media. and petro

poroshenko was never and is not either the owner of the channel or a person associated with espresso in the president's office. they could not have known this, because the ownership structure of the channel is transparent, and the editorial policy is devoid of any influence on its broadcasts. therefore, mykhailo podolyak's statement only confirms the groundlessness of the pressure on the free media , media experts say that petro poroshenko's narcissism cannot be a threat to national security and the existence, well, a reason for exercising some kind of censorship. i don't know why exactly podolyak is commenting on this, what does he have to do with control freedom of speech and in ukraine during the war. in other words, the national television council should deal with this . refusal is their coup in the national security council and channels or

the national security council, and comments by kadeliks it seems to me that this is just another informational manifestation of some initiative. i do not know the private me. iryna sedova, an expert-researcher of the crimean human rights group, is convinced to explain the turning off of tv channels by someone's narcissism - this is at least unprofessional, instead , society should know what really happened if you use censorship during martial law, you want to make this a better country, that is, please explain to the society, please explain to the journalists, why exactly are you doing this? not on what grounds is it and what norms is it based on ? the decision is known that on march 18, the national security and defense council adopted a decision on the implementation of a unified information policy under martial law, the document was immediately signed

by president volodymyr zelenskyi, however, about how to ensure such an information policy and whether any channels should be turned off for this purpose. neither the council nor the council explained as a result that the rrt concern simply switched off espresso from the digital broadcast and deprived almost half of the viewers who exactly made the decision to stop broadcasting it is still unknown on may 11, the parliamentary committee on humanitarian and information policy tried to establish this, the decree does not exist and was not, does it contain a decision of the national security council of ukraine to turn off or switch off the sbu channel, it is already, as they say, publicly open. that is, what is written there there is nothing else for more than a

month, we are calling the head of the committee, mykyta poturaeva, mykyta ruslanovych, a month ago, you had a committee meeting at which they were supposed to establish responsibility for turning off tv channels. tell me please, was it possible to find out in this time the answers that we don't really need here, er, the committee will be needed today, we will raise the issue again in a month, the parliamentary committee responsible has not established an obvious delusion, an obvious delusion , but it is symptomatic, so no one is responsible he doesn't want to take serious people for this decision, and if no one wants to take it, then the first court, the first station, most likely, well, he will make a decision that will be, well , correct, fair, meanwhile, you insist lawyers because it is an unauthorized interference in the work of a television network. this is a direct harm to the state and

information security, which is unacceptable in the conditions of war, because in this way, tv channels lose the opportunity to record and show viewers the real crimes of racists in ukraine. this is a criminal offense. this is a sign of treason. ukrainian channel is blocked for this means that some kind of deliberate action is being taken, since there are no legal grounds for committing such actions, if there are no legal grounds, i believe that during martial law, it is the security service of ukraine should immediately check what happened, lawyer lyudmila lebid tells the established facts with signs of a crime, it was transferred to the sbu, however, contrary to the law, the authorized persons did not register criminal proceedings, so

it was necessary to go to court. and obliged the authorized person to seriously consider exactly such statements and properly consider them in accordance with article 214 of the criminal code of ukraine and again in the future, within 24 hours , a thorough investigation of the facts will immediately begin, whether this court decision is implemented is not yet known, although more than a month has passed since its adoption, such as inaction must be checked by an authorized body in this case, the state bureau of investigation, but they gave me the answer that they from my statement about a criminal offense, there are no signs that any illegal actions have been committed, namely non-compliance with a court decision, although without checking any facts only the statement itself, in my opinion, it is impossible to establish, at least it is necessary to make

some request to the security service of ukraine in the lviv region and ask whether the decision has been implemented or not. that the law enforcement agencies are simply sabotaging the investigation of the case of turning off the tv channels, on the other hand, those who made the illegal decision do not hide that it was political and quite possibly limit the information not only of the tv viewers but also of the head himself of the state, after all, at the briefing for the day of journalists , volodymyr zelenskyy stated that all ukrainian tv channels are working as before, as far as i know, not a single channel was closed, the channels on which there is an information marathon, the united united information weapons of man did not deprive any

channels, this is not true, by the way, all these channels you mentioned can even be found, despite the fact that we had a clear agreement even before the decision of the national security and defense council regarding joint broadcasting, if according to zelenskyi the channels were not turned off. it seems that the warring country has only one hand and nothing else to do. and this is a dangerous phenomenon, even if it concerns freedom of speech, the chairman of the board of interviews from ukraine, kostyantyn kvort, claims that our enemies can take advantage of this and use it against us on the eve of the decision to grant ukraine the status a candidate for eu membership, it gives an opportunity to introduce a discussion about the fact that freedom of speech is violated in ukraine, it is very simple, it means that ukraine does not meet the criteria, even candidacy and membership the eu or that it will then hang around in the candidates for

decades, arguments that, well, you understand , for ukraine to remain in the gray zone, this is very important, and the country needs to be rebuilt, and in order to rebuild it, we need to become a member of the eu, because they will not give us the kind of big money that we need now not a member of the european union, threats to information security, alleged treason, fictions about narcissists and the inactivity of security forces, all this is somehow ignored by the country's authorities in the conditions of war, meanwhile, oppression of freedom of speech threatens ukraine catastrophic consequences, despite the restrictions on broadcasting, russia's military aggression and a number of other challenges, our journalists continue to perform their work qualitatively and professionally, return the espresso tv channel to the air on april 4, the rrt concert illegally

, it is believed that this will be another programmatic speech of the russian president. however, to be honest, i do not understand what other programs there can be after vladimir putin started a war against ukraine, if he has already challenged the civilized world, if he associates clearly formulated the political program of the russian federation, which is based on the need to restore the territory of the former soviet union to the borders of 1991 with the leveling of the statehood of those countries that declared their sovereignty at the time of the collapse of the soviet union. of course, you can scare the west , you can threaten it with new economic problems, but we understand very well that the same serious economic problems will also exist in russia itself, although we also need to realize that these economic problems are not afraid of me would even say that they do not bother russian president vladimir putin, however, i would still advise the tpp

to take putin's speech seriously, because our there is a huge problem with many of those who follow russian politics, that everyone tries to perceive the texts of putin's statements as a kind of figure of speech that is not at all related to reality, but in fact, as is often the case with authoritarian rulers, putin is one of the most outspoken political figures who, in principle, clearly and clearly proclaim their programs of political goals, when putin gave his famous speech in munich, many also thought that this was an exaggeration and that the russian federation would not speak with such a sharp anti-western program in reality because russian capital is strongly connected with the

interests of the western economy because russian oligarchs have coins, estates and property in the west because, in principle, it is extremely important for the russian economy to sell its raw materials to western ukraine, all of this is absolutely logically, but at the same time naively, putin also went to munich and then spoke with the manifesto of an offended person or a cyst with the manifesto of a representative of those people who considered the collapse of the soviet union a real geopolitical disaster, then he spoke about it out loud and did everything had to do everything possible to correct even their own mistakes of the late 80s and early 90s,

try to put yourself in the place of soviet times, they fought for power with the party apparatus almost from the mid-30s, even over time when the soviet special services are capable of killing millions of people and organizing an artificial famine was led by henry yad. was this struggle a struggle with variable success, or did the kists receive unlimited power that allowed them to destroy party leaders with entire central committees? central committee of the economic party the bolsheviks of ukraine were shot two or three times in 1937-39, but then they themselves were shot for espionage and replaced in the people's

commissariat of state security by party cadres in 1900-53, it might have seemed to the chekists that they had defeated the party apparatus of their time and then the informal leader of the lavrynians, beria, became the first deputy chairman of the council of ministers of the soviet union and headed the super ministry, which was created from the combined ministry of state security and the ministry of internal affairs of the soviet union, but later beria was arrested and shot through mediation . by the way, the army generals who were not interested in strengthening the chekists and thought about their positions in

the government. the cog of the party mechanism, the days of stalin's comprehensiveness have passed and the chekists are doing everything possible to strengthen their influence from 1953 to 1972, the head of the kgb-2 for ten years is not even part of the the party is a politburo and only with the appearance of party worker yuri andropov or cysts on the frontal lobe are they slowly beginning to regain their influence, but the soviet union will not have much longer left, the party leaders are not aware of this, but the chekists who are abroad,

who understand how the real economy functions, act as if the government already will soon find themselves in their years of gorbachev's perestroika, they are faced with a clear program of destabilization of countries, national social and political conflicts begin to multiply and grow like mushrooms after rain against the background of gorbachev's glasnost and it turns out that the party apparatus, which consisted of not just dead mothers of dogmatists with rations and privileges, has already forgotten what a real struggle for power is, it is not difficult for the czechs to create several special operations that will eventually lead to the complete collapse of this apparatus in august 1991 2015, one may get the impression

that everyone has lost, including the chekists, but the communist party is banned, and the state security committee of the soviet union is divided into several departments, the federal security service itself, the foreign service intelligence and the state security service, the core or cyst remains intact, while the core of the party apparatus disappears from the political scene of the soviet union, the support of the oligarch vladimir putin, yevhen primakov, serhiy stepashyn, all of them from lubyanka or with the ash trees of this residence of the foreign intelligence service of the russian federation. at the beginning of the new decade, the chekists finally

fully realize their dream, the lieutenant colonel of the state security committee of the soviet union becomes the head of ukraine, where there is no longer any party apparatus a has only chekists and bandits, which are, in principle, synonyms, and here chekists notice that they knew at the beginning of the 90s that they conquered the country , but not the whole huge part of this country, for control of which they fought, remain out of their years, chekists as people who knew about money and the mafia but did not know about political laws did not realize that the only real component that

held all the power in the territory of all 15 republics was the communist party, and they took it and banned it, vladimir putin now bitterly reproaches to the bolshevik leaders, first of all, to vladimir lenin , that they divided historical russia into 15 national apartments. in this way, they deprived the russians of their national territory, but lenin did everything right from the point of view of the dictatorship, he invented some artificial states in place of those states occupied by the bolsheviks so that for him it was absolutely not fundamentally simply because the bolsheviks did not think about any state, but about the world revolution and about the creation of their dictatorship on the scale of almost the entire planet, well at least the european part and china, and the real power in

all these quasi-states was the communist party, the republican party organizations were exclusively branches of the central committee of the party in moscow. this was an obvious vertical because the party itself acted in accordance with its statutory laws according to the principle of democratic centralism, a principle that, in principle, in political parties of civilized countries do not appear in political parties value discussion value the struggle of opinions value different positions democratic centralism exactly and it consists of the fact that you simply fulfill the price. when he came to power in russia in 2000, he began to rebuild and when he rebuilt quite quickly , because the memory of those golden years still remained in the russian nomenclature, he realized that it was

time to return the territories again, as he knew how a whole series of special operations that we will not describe here now, but we remember all these special operations against our country that were supposed to lead to the fact that the authorities in the former soviet republics had to become puppets to make it easier for putin the opportunity to seize the territory of these countries, the political history of ukraine from the point of view of the czech reality looks completely different from what it would look like from our point of view, 1991, when the declaration of independence of ukraine was simply used by the russian elite to deprive mikhail gorbachev of power, dissolve the soviet union and

create a quasi-state entity that, after russia emerges from the economic vacuum, will become a real state under the leadership of boris yeltsin, the commonwealth of independent states of russians they say that they live in the cis, you and i here in ukraine say that we live in ukraine russians live in the cis by the way, a large part of our compatriots with you, especially in the eastern and southern regions of ukraine, also repeats after them that they live in the cis because they live in the world of russian television it turns out that president leonid kravchuk is not ready to use the cis as a tool for the creation of this new union state under the leadership, but instead perceives the cis precisely as a tool for the separation of russia's preparation for the fight against ukraine

it begins when it becomes absolutely obvious that ukraine is preparing to introduce its own currency, that it wants to have its own armed forces, the year 1994 brings victory to leonid, a candidate with pro-russian slogans and attitudes from whom it is expected that the commonwealth of independent states will eventually become a union state, a union of sovereign states, but how as soon as kuchu gets into the presidential office, he understands what opportunities open up before him from this moment on , the years of lost time begin. what many of ukrainians are perceived as the golden years of ukrainian history, because after chris the first half of the 90s it begins to ease, but it is during this ease that people who perceive zlovanid kuchma as the best president of the country sign a

death sentence for their children and grandchildren, sign themselves a ticket to war, this is a lost time at that time while ukraine's neighbors are stubbornly knocking on the nato door of the european union and they are not refused, ukraine remains with the usual gray union republic that tries to maneuver between the west and the east. in search of other people's money, cheap gas, this rope around the neck of a ukrainian seems to our compatriots and you to most of the irresponsible ukrainians to be a golden chain. this is how the lost 10 years pass by. 2004 is the year ukraine meets the oligarchic country with no prospects for future political and

national development . russian special services and here the kremlin does
