i don't know, it's not difficult for me to speak positively about this sanctions package because all the news that comes from ukraine, and also the messages that come from moscow, they don't promise anything good, so here we behave as if we were flirting. i wonder if you missed the banks in the ring. here i have some restrictions introduced by the writer of the russian gazprombank. not so long ago, ukrainian journalists and investigators from the program of the scheme of radio liberty found out that the russian military is allowed to receive salary and the so-called combat payments for the war in ukraine precisely through gazprombank, and here in the west everyone was very surprised by this news, even in the us senate they demanded not to close their eyes to such obvious loopholes, i honestly thought that gazprombank would be remembered in this latest package of sanctions. but no, i'm not talking anymore, but gaze, well,

did the gazprombank thing go to neotruda now? will you confirm, uh, specifically, uh, did the state uh-uh thing mean this bank? yes, but uh-uh, of course he would be a great candidate i know this letter to you i probably won’t tell any news if i tell you that the payments are still made for gas. they go through this bank, and i probably don’t need to explain to anyone else why this bank is not included in the sanctions list because it means what is going to transfer and pay eh for y-y gas that comes to some countries of the european union, they generally probably can stop supplies to gaza, so that’s the kind of intimidation or that you know the dependence. they want and they are afraid and they can't, probably eh in the line of

energy and that's why this is a game eh mouse cat cat mouse and you won't understand where this ball is going , so in my opinion eh it was a weak message to the kremlin eh then i don't know how president zelenskyi's appeals are being answered. i wanted to ask you literally today . russia resumed the supply of gaza through the northern stream first to germany, and this happened after a 10-day stoppage, and the western press writes that the europe breathed a sigh of relief uh no in a frozen winter, but at the same time, the european commission admits that there will be problems with the supply of russian gas in the winter, and i would like to say now that the authorities are probably proposing to the participating countries to voluntarily reduce the consumption of russian gas, but at least by 15%. tell me , first of all, it will find a response in the hearts of the

residents of the european union. what do you think, and secondly, how powerful is gas in the hands of vladimir putin, and is it a strategic tool in putin's hands? he knows it and will. to play with the tenth instrument tincture for how long will we er-er mean er-er do everything possible so that this happens, i would say that it is probably equated almost to nuclear weapons and the threat of using nuclear weapons in some countries of the european union, i will say the obvious eh, they are not ready, they are not ready to give up this gas, because their energy system and especially heating depends on it . i don't know the alternatives for me, even a 15% reduction

is not enough. i don't know that it's winter, even in a military sense, it can be very, very tense. it means that the gaza tool is, how does it mean the demand for pressure, the demand? different intrigues of provocations will be used even more widely than we can even present ourselves, so i think that we have not yet done everything, what should be done, not 15%, we need to reduce it, we need to speak in higher, high numbers, i know that it is difficult, but what do need to accept eh you know, it's not an ordinary solution, that's why we allow putin to put pressure on himself, having dependence on gas, and he will do it until the last

minute . from lithuania, ukrainian defense minister oleksiy reznikov reported on the results of the fourth meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine on radio svoboda, well, this is the so -called rammstein format. the meetings ended the night before, according to the minister the new aid packages will include the supply of weapons to the union and the training of the ukrainian military. well, varshikov also clarified that already this week, the united states plans to announce another package of military aid, which will also include four heimers systems. on 350

, i understood, install it myself and see for myself, we are currently training our guys so that they can work with me confidently, confidently, already at zero . good afternoon. good afternoon, i see you.

the thunder of giving and with the help of the west with the help of good equipment and new weapons i think we will go forward in the period and it is not not on time it is about to because in a few days eh as far as i know there will be a new summit eh

fourth already according to rammstein yes yes according to rammstein and there is already an agreement that we should ask for 300 km to the rocket at 70 km and at 300 km and knock out their supply warehouses not in the front line beaten by the basal line yes yes because the sound of the hammer mainly works on the bases provided we are losing very close and very good boys here and there are already many of my brothers whom i knew and with whom i was from irpen, we still came here somehow i don't know unpleasantly very unpleasantly we have to

live with it. partner countries, and there is another hot topic: the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, may be planning to deprive three people of citizenship, ukrainian businessman ihor kolomoiskyi, co-chairman of the outlawed party of the ukrainian communist party, vadym rabinovych, and the current leader gennady korban, head of the dnipropetrovsk region's security forces, first reported this to ukrainian pravda, the journalists stress that they do not have official confirmation of this information, but note that they have asked officials for comments. and here is the president in his address yesterday. by the way, he did not say anything about it. at the same time, journalist yuriy butusov said that the day before ukrainian intelligence officers informed the editors of several ukrainian mass media that president volodymyr zelensky allegedly even prepared the corresponding decree on the deprivation of citizenship of

the persons i have already mentioned, not only them, by the way, now we will talk about the decree, which they say is secret, because it is obvious that this is sarcasm, emphasizing that the decree is so secret that intelligence told you the congress responsible for the statement in women usa, victoria spartaz, where she demanded the resignation of yermak because of allegedly his connections with russia. this is how butusov says, the announcement of the decree can be perceived as a threat of personal korban . today, gennady korban is just about to return to ukraine after a week's leave he received to visit his family in europe. and by the way, today we tried to contact gennady korban, we invited him on the air, but he said that he was on his way right now. well, now, closer to the evening, the story of the decree on the deprivation of citizenship of influential ukrainians was extended, in particular, people's deputy from his homeland serhii vlasenko published an alleged copy of the presidential decree, a document that, in fact, without

zelenskyi's signature. the date of july 17 is indicated on it, and this document refers to the deprivation of citizenship of a number of people, in particular korban kolomoiskyi rabinovych, well, and a number of other people, and by the way, there is also igor vasylkovskyi on this list, this is a deputy from the servant of the people, an incumbent deputy from the servant of the people we at the moment we cannot verify the validity of this decree, but we are following the development of this story and are in touch with us valentin smooth political scientist, my greetings to you good day valentine, what do you think about this, another informational drop aimed at destabilizing the internal political situation in ukraine, it's not a pity, it's a pity that you are doing it again yuriy butusov well, not only yuriy butusov, mr. smooth, not only yuriy butusov, the ukrainian truth said the day before that serhiy vlasenko had just published this

alleged decree. to return to the legal component, the right to citizenship is an inalienable right of a person and the state does not have the right to deprive its citizen of citizenship, well , a citizen can leave citizenship and the majority well, i think that if he looks at that list, it's probably simple, and citizens of ukraine who, in order to obtain citizenship of other countries, renounce ukrainian citizenship. well , do you remember that there were many criticisms, in particular, of ihor kolomoisky about the fact that he may not even have two passports, they say, but three passports. well, let's put it this way, can this be a reason to deprive these people of their citizenship if they have other passports, there are simply countries that do not have plurals under the current legislation citizens, and in order to grant you your

citizenship, they require a certificate stating that you have lost or renounced the citizenship of another state, so yes. that is, you write a statement that i am asking you to deprive me of ukrainian citizenship, now it is being revoked by the decree of the president, according to which the certificate is given, and then you on the basis of this, you can acquire the citizenship of another country. that is how it works. valentina, well, you said during our conversation that this is an informational campaign with poroshenko and saakashvili. do not think that this is an informational campaign. well, if we we want to analyze how it can be. so i will explain how it can be and what it is like, how the citizens of ukraine lose their ukrainian citizenship, that is, they can take that ukrainian citizenship only voluntarily , there is another option that was implemented by poroshenko in relation to saakashvili, but even then saakashvili was not deprived of ukrainian citizens well, there were simply uh, if

the decree on the basis of which he obtained that citizen had lapsed because he had allegedly improperly prepared the documents necessary for acquiring citizens because i i repeat that if someone deprives you of your citizenship , then you will go to court and win it guaranteed in court, especially if it reaches the european court of human rights, so all characters can lose ukrainian citizenship only at 95 or if they want to lose it freely or if, accordingly, they acquired this citizenship, it is contrary to the current legislation , because even if you discover that someone has two unnecessary citizenships, this is not a reason for the loss of citizens, that is, this has been repeatedly discussed as well they already said, well, at the beginning of our broadcasters , there is some kind of estimate. why does this matter? who needs it? who

benefits? that is, what consequences can her statements lead to? well, to the point that ukraine may complicate the process of obtaining what ukraine needs, i do not think at all that mrs. spar did this precisely to reach the domestic political bodies of the americans , because she criticized them in the first place the biden administration and made an e-mail against the biden administration, but along the way it brought with it these negative extremes. that is , on the one hand, it discredits the head of the office of the president of ukraine, mr. yermak . analyzing it, it discredits the ukrainian state and complicates the process of obtaining weapons by ukraine, is it the only benefit to ukraine

? with this information that they want to deprive korban rabinovych kolomoisky of ukrainian citizens. well, why is this to her? well, they just told me that it was supposedly in the opinion of someone. korban is behind this statement. spartacus is a conspiracy. i am not a conspirator. yes, i am not a mysterious person. i am not an insider. i can to analyze only what enters the public sphere, well, in the public sphere, i will repeat that most likely well, this is an absolutely unpromising occupation, well, i don’t think that there are chances to deprive citizens, moreover, if we if we are talking about these three characters, then i would not put kolomoiskyi korban and rabinovych in one row. well, because robinovych fled from ukraine even before the start of the war, and since then he has been crying that he can not return, and i am inclined to think that he is not

going to return, he was exhausted if this can be said from the ukrainian political process, as a matter of fact, such ukrainian politicians or public-political figures who fell out of the ukrainian political process after the start of the war, that is, in principle, he has citizenship there there are no citizens, then, er, nothing changes, if you want the winners to change their citizenship, i don’t know if you want to do it as fodder , i don’t know if they have other citizens, and i don’t know, i will still go back to what you said that it can be an information dump well, for example, when ukrainian pravda reported about it, they referred to a source in the law enforcement agencies in the office of the president and in the people 's office. it truth well, i'm not sure that it's true, that's why i'll say this, you understand what's going on, that's right, i already

said in order to destabilize the internal political situation in ukraine, well, to destabilize it during the war, so this is a question for those who do it, not for me, this is a question to those who do it systematically well, in the conditions of war, just some yes who stood here in the traffic jams from victory square to mukachevo on february 24 , february 25 now began to worry very much about what their future will be in ukraine after the war or suddenly they will not be permanently used from the ukrainian political process. and in general, they will not be sent to the dustbin of history like this, that is why they are interested in weakening the position of the current government in every possible way, this is one of their arguments and motives in order to try somewhere to sow some distrust, discord, some kind of discord. well how should they now react , roughly speaking, the same korban to this story , i don't know, that is, whether it's true or not, but i understand what you think i would be delighted with them, they will answer that we invited gennady korban and

we are open to the comments of anyone whom we mentioned today during the consideration of this story. well , we will also follow this story to see if someone really intends to deprive in some way the citizenship of these three persons . olena zelenska spoke before the congress of the united states of america, asked the congress to continue the supply of weapons to ukraine and called on american politicians to make a decision on the transfer of modern equipment to kyiv of air defense, the first lady also showed the members of the american parliament photos of four-year-old liza, who died as a result of russian shelling in vinnytsia, and photos of other children and adults who died as a result of russia's attack on ukraine. i am now asking for something that i would never want to ask for. in order to wage war on a foreign land and to protect

your home and the right to wake up alive in it i am asking you for air defense so that rockets do not kill children in their prams help us to stop terror against ukrainians and this will be our joint great victory, the name of life is freedom and the right, we salute you, glory to the heroes, i want to ask you what the american press is writing and saying about the visit of elena zelenska, about her speech to the congress, what effect does this have a very good effect for ukraine uh, the military visit was covered very widely, uh, by the main tv channels, newspapers, that is, it is very good, because you understand that ukraine has become smaller recently, the hotels

of american tv channels, because there are fewer correspondents, the american now works in there is an element working in ukraine that, if in the spring, 90% of the time in news programs was devoted to ukraine , now from 5 to 10%. but the visits to zelenskyi were covered very widely, and in addition to the fact that she spoke at the congressional interview of the nbc channel, which was broadcast yesterday in the main news program. and this is very good for ukraine, because she is very, very well, very well, she spoke at the congress and i i hope that the attention of the americans will again be focused on ukraine, because of her visas, because of what she talked about very widely, they may after that the united states will really provide ukraine with air defense equipment for ukraine's new

air defense systems that have it, i understand that they will be put on in september because i am discussing after the rammstein 4 meeting and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general millie, i think that air defense systems will arrive, what are these there will be a numbering system, we don’t know, maybe the same norwegian systems, which, by the way, are very powerful and which will greatly help ukraine to protect the sky, and by the way , it either coincided with the time or it happened immediately after the low speaker of the house of representatives of the usa nancy pelosi addressed the secretary of state anthony blinkin and urged him to declare russia a state sponsor of terrorism, this topic has long been in the united states pelosi said otherwise and congress will do it

please tell me what is the problem for anthony blinkin to declare russia eh a terrorist state. i think well, this is my personal opinion that most likely they are there but they are analyzed every day. russia is not taking one or another action. i think that you are probably not doing this because one of them shows somewhere that russia can demonstrate an inadequate reaction, let's say increase the missile attacks on ukrainian cities. i don't know, but i think that i can be . as a country sponsoring terrorism, it will automatically have none. these are the ones, that is, no one with russia. well, nothing new will happen, well, it will. of course, it will, it will contribute to a very negative and russia's manager in the world, but automatically there will be no new sanctions

i will not automatically take any action against russia, that is why i think that what is holding them back from the department is that they are afraid of some inadequate reaction of russia to this. how do you look at me? it means the best thing i can do from the chat is to provide ukraine with more weapons and more weapons. more weapons, more weapons, impose sanctions against russia, more sanctions, more sanctions, because we need to break up the war to win, it is, er, in favor of russia, the position is that this is not true, it is absolutely not true , what do they do, really, every day they are reassessing and making new risk assessments, in which russia can provide answers to what they are doing, of course, that their greater replenishment is the use of russia's weapons of mass destruction with nuclear weapons or chemical weapons against ukraine, and

i fear that russia may succeed more massive missile attacks on ukrainian cities, uh, they have such fears, and that's why they every day , on the basis of all the data in development, do they receive, do they conduct an assessment. what are the risks today, i think about it yesterday, general midi speaks at the press conference and here is the publication bloomberg, we have already mentioned this publication today, bloomberg reports from the link so far to its sources that russia is allegedly still going to annex the occupied ukrainian territories, so to speak, so to speak, officially in september, that is, it should take some time the so-called referendum or some kind of action that they will call a referendum and annex these occupied territories to russia. please tell me what trump cards washington has for such a case. and do they even talk about it like that they are talking about it, for example, the day before yesterday he spoke at a briefing at the white house, um, john kirby, who used

to be the spokesman for the pentagon, now he is the coordinator of strategic communications, as the national security council. he said that, well, even before there was a message about this, he talked about this and he warned that the united states will impose tough sanctions against russia if, if this happens of course no, no, the united states , no country in the world will ever recognize any such numerical referendums or anything that there, russia will organize, and there is where else to impose sanctions, of course. well, look at the russian economy, everything that functions, although it slows down significantly, but how do they impose sanctions , the russian export of microchips, let's say, and other american high technologies, is not prohibited there? many other things can already be banned, too. that is, it is

possible to isolate russia in the same way that north korea is isolated, for example, that is, i can simply disconnect it from the world in general as such it is still possible to do everything, that is, thank you, thank you, i understood very well, ihor eisenberg, a professor of new york university, was on radio liberty , we will certainly continue to monitor the topic of the deprivation or not of the deprivation of the citizenship of three ukrainians, ihor kolomoisky, gennady korban and vadym rabinovych , radio liberty is open to all these mentioned people, we tried to contact gennady korban and hope to receive his comment in the near future, read the updates on the website of radio svoboda well, i also traditionally call you subscribe to the pages of radio svoboda on the internet instagram telegram facebook twitter where you are comfortable well, two channels on youtube radio svoboda and radio svoboda ukraine, we will be back on the air

tomorrow greetings dear tv viewers of news on time anna yelamelnykh in the studio together with the espresso team i will tell you about the most important thing in progress 148 days of a full-scale russian-ukrainian war, so they will start with operational information from the general staff , our soldiers bravely hold the defense, so the russians are attacking peaceful settlements along the entire line of the front in the direction of kramatorsk, russian soldiers, ukrainian soldiers repulsed the assault of the invaders in the direction of the lysichansk oil refinery, ivan odarivka, the enemy suffered a loss, retreated, and the russians were unable to succeed in the offensive on the viburnum peak, myronivka, vuglegirska tepla
