what to do, but look, there were examples when the united states knew for sure that certain ukrainian politicians had not only connections with russia, that they were agents of the russian special services, the united states introduced sanctions, say, against two deputies of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, derkachato dobytsky, in which they simply said that they are an agent, we are the russian special services in ukraine with them. unfortunately, they did nothing, so, so, so, so it seems, and they remain members of the verkhovna rada, and yes, they are against kolomoiskyi. the united states introduced sanctions for his corrupt activity in ukraine, not in america, in ukraine, but the ukrainian government, the ukrainian government is silent, which means against, against yurmak, the united states did not introduce anything, that is, what, what, consumer sports, she listed in her second second appeal. well, there is nothing

new, all of the accusations against yarmak are it was heard a year ago, that is, two years ago, that is, pelena asked, asked that on july 12, when there will be a closed briefing of prominent members of the congress, to make the administration so that the administration would give relevant information, that's all. tomorrow, we will monitor, then, then, we will monitor, that is, if what, what, i think that if the administration knew something, there would be evidence that yermak or totarov were there, i don't want to talk about my personal attitude towards them, i'll tell you she gave herself a word from february 24 that she would comment on ukrainian domestic political affairs until the end of the war, and i made one exception. i wrote on my facebook very, very sharply against the connection of espresso the fifth to direct from digital broadcasting, but i want

what do i say if there is any evidence in the administration of the united states or american intelligence? well, then there will be some consequences. if there is no evidence, then no, then nothing will happen. it will be like this . it will be in the glass. for a comment, we will follow this topic igor eisenberg, professor new -york university well, perhaps the main topic in the ukrainian media space today is that the ukrainian billionaire nathmetov announced that he is transferring his entire media business to the state, according to akhmetov, the decision is dictated by the current typed the law on oligarchs, i will quote akhmetov's letter to you, he writes that as the largest private investor in the economy of ukraine, i have repeatedly said that i was not, am not and will not be an oligarch, the short six-month period defined by law for the sale of media assets and the russian military aggression against ukraine do not give the opportunity to sell media

business on market terms well, now akhmetov is handing over his media business to the state, let's discuss it further, contact us oleksandr martynenko general director of the interfax-ukraine news agency oleksandra good evening is it not i was able to sell it and simply transfer it to the state. there was no choice. i don’t see a person with a relatively transparent form of ownership of financing who can buy such a media group in ukraine as part of the war. i am absolutely realistic . what about transparent money and at the market price, the truth is that no one knows what zinc prices are now, nevertheless, i think that such and such an operation was impossible now, but he probably could somehow rewrite it on someone and give it to someone

it is impossible to do this by law. this channel cannot be given as a gift. it must not be written. by law, it must be sold to people . according to the new law, he had to get rid of this media. well, there is probably another option . media groups, all uh, what is the name of this group, let it be in abbreviated form now, let there be not so much broadcasting, yes, they are working telethon now, but nevertheless, i will not tell you the exact figure now, but it is tens of millions

of dollars a year, well with a high degree of probability it can be said that the state will not find such money once and for all, well, to be honest, i do not really understand how the transfer of this entire asset will be formalized and who should actually accept it on their balance sheet and then well, not enough we mix it and then make it maybe, well, it’s unlikely to keep it in this form, so maybe you’re talking about selling it to someone again, although again, i specifically understand because it’s a huge amount of money received and without any hope of getting any dividends. well, i have here, then, i have two questions for you. it is possible that rinat akhmetov concluded some kind of contract with the state, he is a media agent, and in return he receives something. i am right. now i will say that yes, you know

that you have your own sources. obviously continued some negotiations and the state knows exactly why it needs someone in the person of someone, if we consider minister tkachenko as the main media manager in the state, then i can inform you that 40 minutes ago we asked him a question for marathon and he looked like a person who heard it for the first time, right now when the statement came out and didn't know anything about it and said that he needed to get more information in general. well, yes. and how could it happen without tkachenko? well, they just agreed with the president's office. i don't think so . who did not agree on anything, i.e. leonidovych made a surprise, made a surprise, and i think that in order to look, including now, a and what will happen next , as the state, in fact, it is impossible that it will

close these media and or what does it mean, well, just what are the other options i i just don't see if it's possible to convince someone, but i want to remind you that it's simple. the entire process of transferring one property to the state can take a few months, because there are a lot of assets that still need to be accepted. it's a very serious job to evaluate them, well, it's very, very serious. therefore, i think that there were some options to see what and how things are going, because he already spoke about the fact that the oligarchs cannot be in the eyes and i understand that. he expected from the state that during the war, these demands, these actions the law was postponed in time well, there for six months to a year or for a time after martial law or in some way they will be softened because as you know all the procedures under the law of oligarchs have been put into effect including

the register and everything else without waiting there for peace now everything else well, he simply had no other choice exit means to go on such a path and i want to remind you that not a few days ago people's deputy novinsky announced the drafting of his mandate. the condition of which was called oligarchs and actually political influence, because the presence of the navin parliament could be interpreted as its political influence on the people's deputy . the process is independent of the law, and his war is leading our organization because everything is changing and our economy is falling. unfortunately , assets are still falling in price very rapidly. and this law,

which was adopted before the war, is now being put into effect . contributes to this process of completely natural re-creation, if you can say so, which is going on because of the war. it takes its own twists and turns. the process becomes, to be honest, little controlled , it was not controlled before, and now, taking into account this law, it absolutely not cold uncontrolled and the main thing is that it is not predicted, the main thing is that it has unknown results, that is, well, for example well, for sure, it still comes to mind right away, it’s just that we have a lot of people working there for a couple of thousand years, there will be no work for the time being oleksandr and you expect some kind of chain reactions when, for example, viktor mykhailovych pinchuk will also now give up his media activity. well, he also has to get rid of mykhailo, and that’s another story. i don’t know to what extent he is a monopolist in which industries, because akhmetov

monopoly this is precisely because there are subscribers there , ukrtelecom and so on, to what extent pinchuk can be considered a monopolist. and this is also a necessary feature, as well as a reminder - it reminds me of political influence, well, in terms of political influence . and i just don’t know in which fields and in which area he is, and in fact, well, it depends on the figure of this person, if for akhmetov it was absolutely unacceptable. all restrictions, as imposed by the law on the rusty, maybe for pinchuk it is permissible. i don’t know how you expect that radically the media landscape in ukraine will change due to the fact that akhmetov is getting rid of it, it is already changing, it is changing by itself because again there is a war and many businessmen simply do not have the money to receive media and, frankly, for akhmetov, it was very big the burden that he bore by the way, helping other projects

, including a project from the government, and a media project , they are hanging in the air right now, i don't know what will happen to them. poorer a-a to be honest, i'm not very uh let's say yes uh, i have a positive attitude towards management from the state, especially media management well, i just do n't have a very good one, that's why to be honest, i have uh, there views on the future are quite pessimistic about that what quality of tv product will we consume in the near future, we will see thank you very much for your comment oleksandr martynenko general director of info four heads of communities of the luhansk region went to cooperate with the russian military, the head of the luhansk region told about this in a comment on radio svoboda of the regional military administration, serhiy gaidai, according

to him, luhansk region is 100% unoccupied , because it is still in two settlements, what is happening in luhansk region, in particular, in the occupied part of the region, listen, on the outskirts of the oblast , there are two more settlements left, where the fighting is going on belogorivka upper kamianka, and we can say that at least a small part is real, but still, luhansk oblast is holding, moreover, our military there make a sufficiently powerful impression on the enemy, they cannot to gain strength and resources in order to go forward and pass already a part of the lunchyna and move further towards bakhmut to sloviansk, i will say more recently , just a couple of days ago, in that direction, our military again made a sufficiently powerful impression upwards that

the russians lost more than 20 tanks there, and by the way, they were not completely destroyed, and our military personnel were even able to take away a few tanks for themselves, and now they will fight against the russians with russian tanks in the luhansk region deep in the rear for in the last few days, many warehouses with ammunition have been destroyed, command posts, and personnel , and it’s real. it’s not one or two, but many, and even the russians are now having to completely change the logistics of the supply of bc, and this helps our defenders a lot. and as for khmer people, they work very well, just excellent, i would like more of them. thank god, in luhansk oblast, only four leaders went to cooperate with them, and these are mainly representatives of the national security service. hmmm, as

for the arrest of communities, they all left the leaders didn't want to cooperate, that's why they left, but they left the territory or during the occupation, they left through russia or through there so far . leaders of communities there, people who were nobody and who immediately agree to such a position, little by little, the hryvnia is being cleaned, they immediately installed their repeaters and turned off the mobile communications of ukrainian operators, they installed theirs there, i don't remember, is he called lugak there, or something like this uh, they disconnect uh from uh in ukrainian sites uh, people can only

watch something with the help of a vpn, um, further uh, they force teachers to switch to the educational process uh, lll dnrs uh, what they don't really want to do it and the parents also because they understand that for their children it's a road to nowhere, because with that oleneriv piece of paper, you can't get anywhere else, and they forced you to collect all the literature that is in the ukrainian language or where ukraine is mentioned, and they it is destroyed, then they try to install it there a certain administration there in every er community they return to lenin everywhere, not only monuments but also er pictures, portraits are hung on the wall er and when they hold a meeting there, well, this is just this, it's some kind of return to such a game to just, well it

doesn't really fit on the head. so when i see that uh, at the table with a red tablecloth, there are definitely some people sitting there talking. and behind is a head hanging, damn it, i don't understand at all what is going on in people's heads . well , even if she can't be cured, it's 100%.

good evening, hanna, you and the previous speaker, and i also want to ask if the address of the congress of women by victoria sparz joseph biden regarding andriy yarmak will somehow affect the us aid to ukraine. i think that automatically, of course, there will be no impact , because such aid packages are prepared sufficiently carefully at the same time by the state department and the white house, the ministry of defense and many other involved agencies, the involvement of the ukrainian side of our embassy, ​​and this is not something that automatically changes because of one person in in the united states or in ukraine and what was being built on

let's say all these 5 months, if not the previous 8 years. when we also talked about security cooperation and receiving assistance from the united states, but on the other hand, of course, we understand that elections are currently taking place in the united states and any - what kind of media events are there? and this has already become a media event. how many requests are made and how many are discussed both in the usa and in ukraine? of course, this can in some way affect the further consideration of aid for ukraine. although i think that it is unlikely that weapons will not be provided directly, because victoria sparks herself never denied the issue of providing military aid to ukraine and spoke a lot about the provision of lend-lease and in general any assistance that is needed for ukraine and in america about it by the way, they are talking because igor eisenberg, a professor at new york university, was in front of you. he says that in the usa it is not the main news at all and no one talks about it like in ukraine. of course, it is not

the main news, but the news because there is enough of it internal agenda a plus let's not forget that the pre-election debates have already started and this statement is perceived by many as part of these pre-election debates in the same way, and therefore, in the general background, biden's visit to the middle east is still taking place, this is top news and this is just the reality of the media situation, but if we say ah among congressmen or among those who are currently involved in ukrainian issues, then i have already seen a certain discussion that is also on twitter, and we also saw marsikapur and another congressman, but from the democratic party's statement therefore, we can imagine that this topic will appear in the coming days precisely in political circles, we will keep an eye on you mentioned biden's visit to the middle east, and the e-e edition of the new york times writes what president joe biden will try to find during this visit on in the middle east, soviet weapons

for ukraine, and the publication emphasizes that since biden promised to support ukraine as long as necessary, but at the same time, no, he is no one else , and in the usa and in the west, they cannot say now. and how much, how much, how much is needed, how much how long will it last, and at some point, the publication writes, the stockpiles of weapons in the usa and in europe will be exhausted, tell me this is a realistic prospect that the war may last so long that there will not be enough weapons , they are already thinking about it. because there are theoretical weapons, but we must understand that, first of all, the united states cannot give up all the weapons that it has , it has its own threats, it has its own actions, the actual armed forces, this is the first thing, and secondly, we still need the weapons that we we know how to use but already or are already training specialists who can use it, and it should not be just a sample of equipment, but such equipment and ammunition for it that can be

stably supplied to ukraine, so when we met with representatives of the us ministry of defense or in washington in may, they spoke very clearly their strategy that they are trying to find those weapons for which there is, for example , ammunition at the moment not only in the usa but also in european partners in order to deliver it as quickly as possible, no, that is why at the first stage, they began to look for old soviet weapons because they believed that there was no need to waste time on training ukrainian specialists, but at the moment, that is why ukraine is talking to our nato partners, and there is already an understanding among almost all of our partners that in ukraine it is necessary to switch to nato samples of weapons, first of all, we are talking about artillery and projectiles a, which are different because these stocks are much more than those stocks that were supplied to ukraine before that, namely through well, let's say so the fact that they stopped buying or producing it in the countries of eastern europe, but in addition, we have already seen

separate decisions or appeals by the american administration to the manufacturers of the same javelins, for example, to speed up production and special money was even allocated . could speed up additional production so that there would be no pause in supply for actions, it is bad if you analyze such a unified vision and unified sentiments in the west regarding how the war will end, but roughly speaking, you can already see that there they will consider it a victory, well, you know, the main thesis that i saw from many colleagues, and it would be necessary and in the last two weeks, in some countries, in principle, everyone sounds the same, ukrainians must determine what is a victory for them or what is acceptable for them option of ending the conflict, if we talked about it in january or december, many people offered various options, as they see it, and maybe

ukraine would agree to it, well, that is, ukraine was given such a certain objective and not subjective if you can say that it is not a subject but a role, then even in may and not to mention july, the rhetoric has changed and indeed, both at the political and expert level, more and more is being heard. and this idea that only ukraine should say which option is acceptable and our task is that of us as partners and to support ukraine in this election, and everyone understands very well that ukraine is not, i don’t know, some kind of paranoid state or one that seeks suicide and because it will fight just for the sake of fighting, fortunately, there is such an understanding and, accordingly, the readiness to support ukraine in the liberation of all the territories that ukraine itself sets as a goal. well, then very briefly, if the victory there will be the way ukraine sees it , if such sentiments prevail there, and there is already

some vision of how they see russia after the war , this is much more difficult, because here the versions differ. moreover, i would not even divide it by country. it is more likely that even in each country there are supporters of one another, someone believes that ukraine should be completely like the soviet union. to win in order for it to be a humiliation for russia. it can change in some way. others still think about the ideas that we have heard a lot about saving face . the person who will come from the change of the whole only after this can we talk about changes in russia, and there are options as radical as they say that for russia, that is, the vision of the future of russia at the moment is the only one, of course. there is no and i think that it will not appear because and this vision depends on the understanding of those processes that

are taking place in russia and on the readiness for a new geopolitical catastrophe and on the readiness well, let's say so, for radical transformations in russia itself thank you for the comment hanna shelest, director of security programs of the council of foreign policy, ukrainian prisma, thank you. germany has stopped receiving gas through the nord stream alone, allegedly due to planned works. i would like to remind you that in july the head of the european commission warned of the danger of a stopping the supply of russian gas to the european union, what can the stoppage of the first northern stream or, more precisely, the stoppage of the first northern stream be the first step to stop the supply of russian gas in general to europe about this zoryana stepanenko from brussels my greetings to you the word i greet you with my own really from today at six in the morning gas no longer flows through the northern stream, and i will

remind you that russia used to supply fuel to germany and its neighboring eu countries via this route, but the supply stopped and the formal reason for scheduled work on pipe that will last 10 days, however, in berlin they fear that russia is testing the endurance of non-technical systems, that prevention may therefore be delayed due to the corresponding political reasons, the german authorities, due to the reduction of supplies, are calling to save gas, because the situation with russian energy resources is quite uncertain, we will have too little gas and we need proposals where we can save gas for now we can handle it germany continues to receive gas fortunately from norway through the liquefied petroleum gas terminals of natural gas in belgium and the netherlands, that is why gas continues to flow to germany, the stoppage of the pipe coincided with the shortage of one of the components

, its repair was delayed. against the aggressor, in connection with them it turned out that it was impossible to return the spare part from canada to russia. well, after the negotiations, canada went to a meeting in germany, which accordingly feared that russia yes, in june, it significantly reduced supplies via the northern stream, one will use the lack of spare parts as an excuse to close this pipeline in general well, and thereby prevent berlin from filling the reservoirs for the winter , then ottawa actually made an exception from its own sanctions, and as the canadian minister of natural resources said, it is important to give spare parts to support europe's ability to obtain reliable and affordable energy for the period while the eu is in the process of renouncing russian oil and gas in no , of course, this decision was welcomed by the siemens company wants to return the spare parts to their place as soon as possible. but in kyiv,

they are outraged by the point-by-point lifting of sanctions from russia, and about this, in particular, in the ukrainian foreign ministry . because the precedent is alarming, the experts i spoke with agree that this is definitely not to be regarded as the norm, at the same time it is clear that it was not an easy decision for canada, it found itself sandwiched between two with stones, on the one hand, canada strongly supports ukraine, on the other hand, it has a close and well-established partnership with the usa and the eu, in particular, germany, so there was a crossfire here, but the problem is actually deeper and it lies in the dependence of the countries of the european union on russian gas, we should invest

more in the diversification of supplies and energy security then and there will not be such awkward situations as with the turbine. canada’s decision was supported by the united states and violates the sanctions. the european union considers this scenario to be the most likely and in paris. therefore, in various capitals of the eu, they are currently preparing for a difficult winter and are looking for options to avoid freezing, but the german chancellor previously emphasized that the gas crisis will not force ukraine to abandon support for ukraine simply. thanks to the star zoryan stepanenko from brussels. well, i

traditionally call you can subscribe to the pages of radio svoboda on the internet and svoboda life will be back on the air tomorrow my greetings to everyone who is with us yana eva melnyk and together with the news editors we will tell you about the most important at this hour, the full-scale russian-ukrainian war continues for 138 days, so i will start with operational information from the general staff, the main efforts of the enemy are focused on the full capture of the luhansk region, the russians seek to surround the grouping of the defense forces in donetsk region, to obtain a land corridor with the temporarily occupied crimea , and to block ukraine's sea communications in black sea ​​invaders are actively using artillery and aviation shelling the ukrainian position
