with them for much more than what is provided by the regulations that affect this status of ukraine and the sponsor of terrorism. i want to remind you that they actually demand from the state apparatus the exclusion of any possibility to sell weapons or dual-use goods, to provide assistance with certain types of technologies. well, there there may also be financial and economic restrictions, but the most important thing for us is definitely recognition by russia for russia. only in ukraine in the middle east, no matter what i say there, please answer that what i see , in particular, the statements of the ukrainian government, ukrainian high-ranking officials and the president, for ukraine, it is not just sanctions that are important, but the recognition of russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. well, we will follow this topic. i'm also oleksandr. i wanted to ask you about nancy pelosi's

visit to taiwan. by the state well, they will not go for concessions for concessions in the first place. comrade, everyone is in agreement. and tell me , please, did this become some kind of lesson for the government and did it become some kind of lesson, including for the kremlin, because the kremlin also turned to this is attention, and there they have already strongly condemned the visits of the american high-ranking official to taiwan, well, in the kremlin, if they look at this problem, then they are for international rights, according to the un charter, for diplomacy, for other things. they simply do not look at what they are doing in ukraine, and it contradicts, well in general, seven humanistic ideas. i'm not talking about the norm, so listen to what they say in the kremlin. we silently have, but we can't ignore them . the most important thing. i think this is the withdrawal of the united states from afghanistan, and this withdrawal was read in the

kremlin and in beijing as the decline of the united states as of a global power that they will focus on internal problems, but so it is possible to make the russians take back what belongs to them well, i don't think so, yes, i mean, i refer to putin's quote about what peter i took from the swedes what belonged to him, well, now putin wants to take ukraine, and xixinfen, of course, he wants, let's say, to return a small rebellious province to the bosom of china, and of course he is making every effort to strengthen himself, first of all, militarily, because he understands that an attack on taiwan is most likely because the americans keep this uncertainty will most likely mean a response primarily from the united states, but not only is there a code format - it is india, the united states, australia, japan, of course, in the event of a conflict, they will still connect to the exact south

korea and probably the united kingdom and actually in order to make this scenario impossible or at least to be surrendered, we have to do something, they are busy creating their missile fist, they are increasing their presence around the key , let's say, main sea routes, and that's exactly why they are creating those artificial islands in the south china sea. therefore, they are trying to fix sea borders that do not fit any framework of international law , and here they are very similar to the russians who demanded in fact, two-thirds of the sea of ​​azov and the black sea should be taken away. well, i mean until 2014 , when we tried to demarcate and limit our maritime spaces with the russian federation . hmm beaches in china and all this is definitely a show

of force but it is very good that nothing worked that actually they saw the determination of the united states, it was not really a provocation you know it seems to me a very important point and again i i will go back to uh , that means afghanistan, and then the attack of the russian federation on ukraine on a large scale, because they understood. for priority, and if in ukraine it is a physical war and the destruction of the traffic police , let's say the united states is helping us, and how is that normal? something else, but also as a countermeasure to the spread of this contagion of tyrannical tyranny, not the freedom of other things in china. they are trying to restrain them and it

was a very i think it was a good move eh it was definitely not a provocation it was definitely eh a charming woman we will not call her age to discuss her outfit, because in principle, a large number of chinese and about chinese comments paid more attention to this than to what she pointed out, she did a great deal, she actually lasted a long time, she keeps this taiwanese case as important to herself for a politician and she showed that she is not going to give up on this, thank you very much, i just remembered that in taiwan she was met by people wearing blue and yellow masks, like the ukrainian flag, this is also such an element , oleksandr harer, an expert on foreign and security policy at the center for defense strategies , was interesting was on radio svoboda well, the story of the mortarmen from the zaporozhian teroborona, one of them with the call sign gran , was engaged in his own business and even planned to open branches of his company in the eu, instead,

after the russian invasion, he joined the ranks anti-aircraft guns soviet mine how long does it take? it needs to be prepared. it needs to be spent. it needs to be inserted. it needs to be wound. remove there are already powder charges remove the check pull it out it is pulled out and it rushes i came to the military commissariat to the military commissariat and we did not

ask when you want to go serve in the armed forces or in alarm i said where you will be ordered to go serve and we will go there, and that's why we went together , my daughter liked it , she sent me a drawing of such a picture . with mortars, but then the family, the homeland, said that you should become a mortarman, at first it was very fun. well, in quotes, you understand because this is our whole life and so that you understand, uh, every day when the boys were shot, when they

they arrive and after they have cleaned their weapons in such a way that it is a normal flight, there is no rest. here, the guys take out their weapons, display themselves, train with salt, each and every person who occupies an assigned position, well, they take their place in the calculation, they train every day. for us as efficiently as possible. and the time was as short as possible. we got when we need to where we need to and when they arrive, we need to go, we clapped each other and said, what a great job you are. you have to see it and want her

face, they shine after they return , and we know from the intercepts that uh, the russians need to evacuate, all because and all these the guys at first fought like infantry every trip of every guy uh, for zero she is rude even a little but a step forward and it's mm well, let there be such a word, it's high, it's such a positive that it's not appreciated was the history of zaporizhzhia, well, and one more international topic ex-chancellor of germany gerhard schröder said that russian president vladimir putin is open to a diplomatic settlement with ukraine about this the former chairman of the board of directors of rosft stated in an interview with the german media schröder confirmed that he met with putin last week

and said that they say the good news is because the kremlin wants to find a solution through negotiations during a conversation with journalists, schroeder called the war in ukraine, quote, a mistake of the russian government, but said that to resolve the conflict, concessions from both sides. on july 26, it became known that gerhard cheder was visiting moscow. the former chancellor told reporters that he had come to russia on vacation, saying that moscow was a beautiful city, while his wife said that schroeder was a peacemaker. i will remind you that the former german leader condemned russia's invasion of ukraine as unjustified. but at the same time, he did not criticize putin himself, and he also held positions in russian energy companies for a long time, in particular, he was a member of the board of directors of the russian state company rosneft and resigned from his post only on may 20 after the public political e was pressured on him with us on the connection of umland addresses and an analyst of the center for east european studies of the swedish institute of

international relations . putin , are they friends or are they connected by some other mutual relationship? well, for example, the financial shredder is simply profitable to do what he does for the benefit of the kremlin for a lot of money. he had such a second career after he left the post of chancellor, he wanted to stay in 2009, but he had to leave and then again if he became a politician of an international scale because he is this friend - along the way, he made valuable entertainment and began to cooperate there with

e-e with the northern stream and srosneft, i.e. gazproms. and sorosnyh wanted well, this is his personal history from this party, but i hope that it will happen soon. look, we very often hear about what or countries the european union or great britain or the united states of america imposes sanctions against putin's inner circle. well, as a rule, these are people who are russian citizens there, or at least have one of the russian citizens, ah. if we are talking about putin's inner circle, it obviously follows that schroeder is also part of this inner circle , why against for example, there are no sanctions. well, so far, such secondary sanctions against people who are not

er citizens of russia er were not enough and they can be and they can happen not only about the editor, but also other politicians in the companies some cooperate with russia, we will probably get to that. well, i think that probably. so there are people there in the west who actually want to leave schroders in this role for the time being. in general, what about having some channel of communication with putin through uh, well, i don't think that it's useful, but i'm sure the quality of people who would like to leave him in this role, yes, that is, maybe

we can this asset, and someone authorized him for this meeting on vacation in moscow, let's say yes, well, probably no, i don't think that he had there is some secret task or something like that but probably, if he is not completely discredited somewhere and not excluded from there, it would be better for the ukrainian party. for now, there are no sanctions against him. well , because it is considered that he is still such a comment- communication channel direct to putin. well, that's what i think. well, probably for some politicians or diplomats - this is important. well, if there is an even greater escalation and to have some person through whom

it would be possible to communicate with putin, literally one more question, i would like to briefly explain, after all, what political influence schröder has now in germany german politics because the messages he brought with him from putin about concessions from both sides about the launch of the second nord stream, how are they generally perceived in german society and in german politics, are they taken seriously? there are still some circles of people who he is respected , but even for his own party, he is for the social democrats, he is more like that, he is a shame for this party, and now he no longer has any influence, and in principle, for several years now, his activities in gazprom have been criticized

once in a while nails and eh well, but there is probably some kind of calculation, as i said, it is better to have at least someone who still communicates with putin, thank you very much for the comment, umlet, an analyst at the center for east european studies of the swedish institute of international relations, was on radio liberty well, and so on we will tell the story of a family from buchi, two men of this family were kidnapped by the russian military , and one more was killed by the russian military, the circumstances of these events were investigated by the correspondent of radio svoboda , taras levchenko, natalya and snizhana, sisters the older natalya lived with her family in bucha, the younger snizhana lived in gostomel, both husbands were kidnapped by the russian military during the occupation, and snizhana's son was killed. our house is located near the gostomel airport, and when the

helicopters and planes flew in, we decided to move a little from the place events so as not to be in the very epicenter of these events and came to bucha to visit my sister. it was my mother, my husband, daughter and son, my husband . when he disappeared he was going to gostomel, he brought water to the people, we, like everyone else, probably waited a day or two, five, seven, ten, that it was about to end, when did you realize that there was a day or two 10, how do you say that nothing will end? some such moment, probably when on

march 7, serhiy, snizhana's first husband, disappeared and when people began to flee from here en masse, then snizhana with her daughter and minor children, natalie, was able to evacuate to the west of ukraine. instead, her eldest son, twenty-year-old vladyslav , refused to go and returned on march 14 home in gostomel has not been in touch with him since then. meanwhile, the family house in bucha was under occupation on the 18th of 18.03. they came to us here and said that someone there told them that so-and-so lives on such-and-such a street and he is targeting us the fire and they asked him to show your husband's hands. yes, they are black, so he is not yet a mechanic with a diesel engine. he has worked for 20 years. they first took us outside and put us facing the fence. we raised our hands

and they searched us with machine guns. we hoped that they might catch him after all. after a while time will be released, but this has not happened since march 18. there is no news from him. civilians from bucha, who were soon released by the invaders, told natalie that some of the prisoners were forcibly taken to the territory of russia. so, immediately after the deoccupation of bucha, in early april, she began to look for a husband . appeals to officials and law enforcement officers had no results. and only on july 21, the red cross confirmed that natalie's husband is alive and in bryansk pre-trial detention center . to be honest, i also applied to the moskovska human rights organization, but it doesn't work instead, snizhana, after returning from the evacuation, began to look for her son, because until the last, neighbors

said that he was hiding in the basement of his house in gostomel, when the occupation had already passed, such a channel was opened by the victims of the buchan district, and the very first photo that i saw was that i saw a photo of my son, he was shot at least six times bullet wounds, now she has already recognized and buried her son and says she lives with hope for the rescue of her and her sister's husbands. the russian federation, uh, we don't have them. it was a story from buch by taras levchenko, well, another domestic political topic, ukrainian ex-prosecutor general iryna they dictated that he can become his own country in switzerland. minister

of foreign affairs dmytro kuleba signed the corresponding submission to the president . i said myself well, now i will remind you of zelenskyi’s own decision. on july 19, the verkhovna rada voted to terminate the powers of iryna venediktova as prosecutor general, this happened after she was removed from her post volodymyr zelenskyi and together with her removed from the position of the head of the sbu at that time ivan bakanov zelenskyy then stated that the large amount of crimes against national security and the connections of representatives of the law enforcement agencies and special services of russia poses serious questions to the heads of these two bodies. proper answer well, actually today there is news that iryna venediktova will most likely be appointed ambassador to switzerland, there is at least one question. does this mean that volodymyr zelenskyi no longer has any questions for law enforcement agencies, what he said when he fired vnediktova and bakanova, contact us andriy osadchuk, people's deputy of ukraine

, faction, voice, first deputy chairman of the committee on law enforcement activities, good evening if we talk about the appointment of iryna venediktova as ambassador , then this is another appointment, which is incredibly political. dmytro kuleba partially answered this question. he said that there is such a tradition of appointing such political appointments to diplomatic post, she is, was, and will be, and not only in ukraine, but if without attachment to surnames. how do you feel about what the minister said and about such a tradition in general? implement i think here everyone who followed the events closely understands everything because everything is very on the floor, you all understand everything well, let's go consecutively on the 17th, if i'm not mistaken

, in the evening, in his address to the traditional, the president announced the sensational news of the suspension bakanova and they from the positions they held, it certainly had the effect of a political bomb explosion because, for example, even the law enforcement committee learned about the suspension of their dictation from the president's address, no one spoke to us, and at the same time, the tone was very harsh. and on the morning of the 18th, if i i'm not mistaken, the president's office confirmed that they will conduct some internal investigations, and accordingly, they were set up very aggressively in relation to them, yes, and bakanova bakanova in general, as you remember the administrator was dismissed according to the article of the disciplinary statute and there is a very not very good article, but unfortunately in the office they often do something at first and then start thinking and studying the legislation and after all the prosecutor general is not an ordinary official the very essence of the law on the prosecutor's office is built on the fact that the prosecutor's office must be

independent, and those guarantees of independence are given in the law on the prosecutor's office, and you cannot just take the prosecutor general and, i'm sorry, throw him out of his place already on the evening of the 18th, if i'm not mistaken the president made a corresponding submission to the verkhovna rada, that is, they actually defeated in less than a day their entire revolutionary plan to investigate the activities of me diknev and the next day, the verkhovna rada voted and iryna was really in the hall and even campaigned for this decision, asserting its legitimacy, but there is huge topics because the independence of the prosecutor general is guaranteed by law and the law contains an exhaustive list of reasons for the dismissal of the prosecutor general. the disciplinary opinion of the high council of justice is not the payment of alimony, it is an expression of no confidence by the verkhovna rada of ukraine, as we had

in the case of the resignation of lyubashavka and the end of the term for which the prosecutor general was appointed, there are no more opportunities, but it looks like - and the president had difficult negotiations with the president's office. because i know her a little from her work in the parliament, and after all, she was our visa committee member in the prosecutor's office. she is a very strong-willed and principled woman. she is a lawyer and i i am sure that she categorically did not agree with this form of resignation that was proposed by the office, this suspension is the accusation, but it seems that in a day they were able to agree. and today we see the results of these agreements. because once again the president has the right to submit an appeal to the verkhovna rada, but it must be motivated , it must not be based on clear grounds that are in the

law, and as i said, there were none, but we see that irina, they are children, you have continued a comfortable career in the diplomatic field. and returning to diplomacy, i think this is also not a very good story, especially for ukraine. this is how there are sometimes practices in different countries when respected politicians continue their careers in diplomatic work but you know that our diplomatic service has developed so hard in recent decades, i know what i am talking about, because in the early 90s i should have become a diplomat , but from our university graduation, almost no one went to work in the process because there were very few salaries there were terrible conditions, that is, in fact, ukrainian diplomacy developed all these decades in very difficult conditions, and thank god now there are good guys and girls. but instead of promoting career diplomats to the positions of ambassadors , as it is commonly called in such a bad

way, because as i already said, if it was just a political agreement between the president and the ex -prosecutor general, it would still be somehow understandable. but this political agreement actually covered up the violation of the constitution and the avoidance of the scandal that iryna actually promised there, i literally have one more question, we don't have much time . after all, look at the dismissal of both bakanova and benedicta, the president said that there are questions for them and these questions will be given a legal assessment, but for ordinary people, when zelensky appoints benedicta appointed to the post of ambassador, this legal assessment has already been made and the result is for life, or does this mean that there is no claim and as a reward for the position, how to interpret it, it means that we are causing a huge reputational damage in very difficult times the harm of our country. unfortunately, once again, we need

to think very carefully first and then do something. and tactical and strategic, how they decided to suspend me, now they have no one. ukraine's reputation at a time when we have to fight for every shred of trust in ukraine and in our institutions in the eyes of our allies . our victory depends on it. against russia is already the topic of tomorrow andriy osadchuk, people's deputy of ukraine , faction, the voice of the first deputy chairman of the committee on law enforcement, was on radio svoboda well, at the very end, i remind you that the youtube algorithm, if you watch our the program works in the following way what the more you like and comment, the more people will see this
