let's come back and now we're talking about other international events great britain is introducing new sanctions against russia today, they relate in particular to oil and currency restrictions, and vadym hrinko will tell you more about the new package of anti-russian sanctions from great britain includes a ban on the export of aviation fuel, restrictions on the provision of financial and brokerage technical assistance services related to the import of iron and steel, a ban on goods and technologies for the manufacture of chemical and biological weapons, as well russia will no longer be able to import sterling banknotes or european union currencies from britain. some of the sanctions restrictions apply not only to the russian federation, but also to territories temporarily not under the control of ukraine . great britain, at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, introduced 9 sanctions packages against russia. almost every week, official london

announces additional restrictions. over the next broad package of sanctions, but the sanctions will affect the cheeks and why they were announced only now, we will ask andrii ostalskyi, this is a journalist bbc, he is currently in london and i am switching to russian because the guest understands our expert will know this very language. and andrii, please tell me that london in russia was often called londongrad. many oligarchs hid their financiers. now the package of sanctions to what extent will it affect russia's finances well, it is difficult to say for sure how it will affect it. now the export of british pounds sterling to russia or euros via great britain will not be allowed. well, here is jet fuel and it can be very important

that the passat is on the ground or the landing materials for it will not be delivered now without them. it seems that russia will not be so easy. as everyone is affected by a package of these sanctions, but i'm not sure that putin is so worried about it, he may be wrong, he may be worried, but he thinks it's time to start, but he thinks that with the help of propaganda, on the one hand, it's a rover of terrible things, on the other hand, he keep control too early and even if she places it there several times even if you have to have a card system, by the way, there are such little people who do great things, the card system is already yours will your children be hungry or with this is today envious of your loyalty, then you are not it is very expensive to open up and oppose something political, i.e. such an izoverian, of

course , perfect logic, but first of all, it is probably connected with the fact that putin's close entourage will definitely not starve and suffer отведение карточной системы дрогой вопрос it seems that the economic sanctions, including the british ones, primarily affect the russian oligarchs and the moneybags who support the regime. will this help? in a political way, let this close circle begin to put pressure on the president of the russian federation and slightly reduce this public rhetoric, which he constantly expresses both to ukraine and to other european countries countries, for example, such as lydva. recently, you know, i’m not at all sure that the oligarchs. well, that’s the last, like a classic oligarch. the oligarchs, what is called the herzensky appeal, already have such a large influence on putin. friends there, blacksmiths

, ratemberge, she seems to have the rest of them in general, and they don’t care, secondly, it seems to me that the system of sanctions against the oligarchs was very well thought out. gradual cut off with pieces like a cat's tail , as some people sometimes say. there are no friends and it is much better at home to keep their money and he is in power, you know, they also look humbly, cowardly, completely in them there is no feeling, no energy of protest , this is an amazing thing быть и ошить с тактический носуществление от этого пријом. well, secondly, they disappoint, of course. here are the special characteristics of these oligarchs. i thought that these are strong people, powerful, influential with huge money in russia. they still have the

remaining money to give power. but no, they are not ready. use uh this same power in order to change something, so i don't think that it is possible to hope for it, i would like to ask you, just in parallel, we show the british prime minister boris johnson on our screens, sometimes he quite popular in ukraine, and he is considered one of those politicians who, uh, clearly convey about the ukrainian position on the west, how much such support from ukraine helps boris johnson in britain in his political struggle with opponents in the rating of his party again, this whole situation is changing and there are already very loud and strong voices, here is the very detail of his article, the nurse who called boris johnson a thimble so that you forget to think about what he did and still

did, it can be strange inside, that is, the opposition is very strong. why is the times newspaper a non-labor newspaper? it is not a legitimate liberal . there is no such thing as a wine pre-liberal camp. they just hate him so much that i even have my own personal ones. there are some disputes with my little friends whom i love very much and are usually of one mind, but here we are parting ways. much more important things are happening because you said about the ukrainian position . the stakes of the entire liberal-democratic system of the world are absolutely colossal, and here are the fates of johnson, not johnson of the conservatives, everything against this background already becomes

somehow small, in general, eh, a note that is it necessary for us from the side that everything will be asked today, a big event for ukraine, our country received the status of a candidate from a member of the european union, it is known that in britain it went through the brexit procedure, on the contrary, it left the european union, as in britain, eh, first of all, and the establishment depends on the party position что может быть это важность если это так, please tell me about the prospects of the european membership of ukraine and how actively your media covers this process well, i wouldn't say that this super news, but of course it has already appeared in all the newspapers with it and will be tomorrow. without a doubt, there may be such a thing even on the front pages, but at the same time, there are differences, because the country of britain is split by the tarpaulin almost in half, and uh, this is who

voted for the tarpaulin consciously that many unconsciously only do not understand what is being done, they did it, but they are brexiters consciously. they do not take this news with pleasure. their arguments, they recall some of the unscrupulousness, as it seems to them, at least the one manifested there by the macrons, that is what great britain is doing. but the european union has just shown its moral and political bankruptcy to fate. the truth is in this, although i would not talk like that anymore where does he lead, but of course , it is the opposite of the remainer and the so-called supporters of the fact that the issue remained in the european union; you see, ukraine understands how important the unity of pro-european democrats is rushing to join the european union, and it is meeting them in

spite of what difficulties they face. and we are turning into some kind of provincialism. they share interestingly, of course, that the bitch from the point of view of ukraine, everything looks completely different talks about a possible alliance became more active among the allies of the countries that most supported ukraine both militarily and humanitarianally, and great britain naturally belongs there, and countries such as the baltic countries, poland, even talked about a kind of military alliance that we call the union, which informally i doubt that i would exist in parallel with nato, but again, this is our perspective, the perspective of ukraine, do they talk about similar things in britain at all, and how does this relate to the idea

more of a test of alliance with eastern europe, which is now just on the front line and in fact, how does a shield cover europe from russian aggression, well, they say of course and again they say different things again we return to the same split, respectively, from the right wing of the conservative party , these are enough doltevy dritszytyors they welcome this business, but from their positions you understand. they think that this way we will show a--and in this way a fig in the pocket of the european union in general. indeed, of course, the second half of the british people will tell you that this is not at all what is needed, this is an instrument of the collapse of the european union, we need to strengthen unity on the topic of forces, but also on our own, cooperation on specific issues in order to help ukraine more, there is nothing wrong with poland and the strange baltics it's great, but it's also a condition that it won't be some kind of alternative to the european union, and you've begun to understand

that political rivalry will begin, pressure will begin, and look at the european union on the same poland and the baltics are absolutely not what is needed. it is only necessary for putin to understand more. thank you very much. thank you very much. this was andrii stassky . despite the different polar opinions within britain regarding many political issues, this country remains very clear and firm in its support of our country, ukraine, and let's now talk about what is happening inside our country because a lot of time has already been devoted to foreign policy issues in the lviv court a hearing is taking place in the case of viktor medvedchuk who is accused of high treason and looting of national values ​​a preliminary hearing is taking place in the lychakiv district court viktor medvedchuk faces up to 15 years in prison on all sites

the hearings will be held these will be held in closed session regime and how this case is developing and whether we can expect a full verdict, we can only find out about it from an expert let's talk to serhii leshchenko, he is a freelance adviser to the head of the office of the president of ukraine so serhii well, the first question i have, uh, many people uh, actually surprised me, why? what do you think, why are these courts closed? i can't comment on the decisions of the courts. decisions are made, it is clear yes, but, agree that many people throughout the country, and primarily media representatives, would like to know the details of this case . they also relate to the legal aspects of 15 years. this is probably one of the maximum sentences demanded by the investigative bodies, demanded by the

prosecutor's office, but victor medvedchuk is accused of many articles. can such a sentence be considered fair, first of all, we have no right to comment on a motion that does not exist; secondly, any of our comments regarding the request of the prosecutor's office can be perceived as pressure on the court, because the court, which hears a certain assessment from the lips of even freelance advisers, the main thing for the superintendent, which i am, can consider it as the is there any other influence on him, that's why i try not to comment. let's talk then. what do we know now in general about what victor medvedchuk is accused of, because ah, this issue has been discussed for a long time, we all remember the first internal ukrainian sanctions that were introduced by e- we were led by the security and defense council of ukraine and you also actively commented, let's

talk about it on the air, because many of the viewers probably forgot what it was about, it 's very simple, it's the height of the accusation the introduction of an article on treason is one of the best crimes that exists and of course it is a crime. according to the criminal code, it has a very severe punishment, as for the episode and this day, medvedchuk actually recognized russia's jurisdiction over the occupied crimea, that's why he was incriminated in such a situation and that is why the prosecutor's office is asking for such punishments, it will be about the hydrocarbon deposits that medvedchuk's family received in a rather opaque way, then they would try to legalize them after the occupation of this peninsula, together with the occupying authorities of crimea , do you know anything about when there will be further meetings and how long the consideration of this case will last? i do not work in a single prosecutor's office or in a court

, so they can. well, thank you very much. we will return to ukraine, we will return to this air in a few minutes, don't switch, we will convince , we will outplay, we will win that you are not news, together we are strong, energodar is a city that works so that there is light in our houses, this is the force that tames the atom so that to give energy to all of ukraine is love that will conquer everything and rebuild everything. it is rage that tears the enemy to pieces. they never do any harm - that's all they have. hold on, energy-giving city that gives light. ukraine is

understand and how many diseases are there before that battalion's tactical game precisely in order to go directly to the slavic in the future to attack the slavic to realize their intentions to capture the slavic kramatorsk we are preparing for this we are advancing we are today not yesterday not tomorrow we are preparing for months in accordance with the command in the crimea, fortified borders and the corresponding certification facilities, we are doing everything and will stand as long as necessary, but we will do it in the best quality without the population, that is, they said, i will repeat. the largest bakhmut direction is the direction where the region borders the lu
