everything and the personal role of president biden , he knows our country very well, we will not hide what he has, well, previous years, not all the memories of the trays of our country of ukraine should be completed, i have to interrupt you, we have regulations, sorry, thank you to you for participating in the program. it was volodymyr yelchenko, a diplomat and permanent representative of ukraine to the un - 2015-19. it was a verdi program. i say goodbye to you. until tomorrow. the president will talk in france at the ski resort of courchavel . law enforcement officers detained ukrainian businessman and former mp kostyantyn zhevago. they have been looking for him since 2019.

now the question is whether there will be extradition. well, in odesa, they started dismantling the monument to the russian empress catherine the second. my names are vlast and lazar, we are starting leave your comments, remarks, wishes in the chat under the broadcast in odesa, the dismantling of the monument to the russian empress catherine ii has begun the part of the monument to the founders of odesa, the part of which is the statue of catherine, has already been officially confirmed by the city authorities of odesa , the work began this morning with the dismantling of the wooden fence around the monument, there is a large amount of security at the site, this is the video we shot this afternoon earlier in odesa a vote was held on the monument to catherine ii, as the mayor of the city, gennady trukhanov, said. the majority of odessa residents supported the idea of ​​dismantling the sculpture. at the end of november, this decision was also supported by the executive committee

of the city council, we asked the people of odessa what they think about the dismantling of the monument to the russian empress, listen carefully. what is being demolished? and you know the history of ukraine? well, why is she asking what she did ? no matter what we did to our state and our people, it was the elimination of cossacks , the introduction of serfdom, and all all all all the activities that she conducted here and in relation to the city that was here until 10 years ago, the mother-in-law of hajibeda. it was a fortress, then a place she she came here, well, not specifically, yes, they bombed, they put odessa here. of course , it is good that odessa appeared here. but again, this is an imperialist policy that destroys everything, destroys our ukrainian identity, and

why should it be built here normally, but in general, it seems to me now it's not the right time to do this, it's better for the guys to push this money and give it. i'm against the demolition of any monuments. it's good that in odessa this process was solved in a more or less civilized way , because we saw that there were vandals. who poured paint and were literally ready to use a sledgehammer, regardless of catherine or pushkin or tomorrow, some monument is being demolished, so are they being demolished or are they being moved? at least this is the decision the odesa city council previously voted for. taras honcharuk, a historian joins our broadcast good evening good evening, you as a historian

support the dismantling of the monument to catherine in odesa at this time and we still have it, but we are their teachers, a professor of the odessa national university in nemechchynikov, they were categorically against installing this on a vehicle and they signed statements, but i’m sorry. then, for what kind of independent ukraine, i will remind you that this monument is not old, kateryna herself was made in 2007 in kyiv, this kateryna standing in odesa, you mean people who are old, old elements, how, or as a historian of ukraine, i'm sorry for categorically against , but then such a terrible company was held i will remind you that already in 2007, putin created his russian world and began to master the territory here, including with these monuments, monuments of suvorov in odessa, then monuments of catherine appeared in tiraspol, simferopol

, and so on. of course, this is anti-hysterical a monument from its time. well, another version of it stood in odessa from 1900 to 1922. i 'm sorry, only 22 years, that is, it has no historical value. odessa grew up in the 19th century on the export of ukrainian grain , the peasants know very well how kateryna treated the ukrainians , and it was somewhere under kateryna, odessa was a city of the tiraspol district of the voznesensk province , that is, it is not known, not even a district, not even a district center, and of course this monument is anti-ukrainian and a person who

does nothing good for odessa did in principle, there was no one here either, except that in kherson there was damage here, which means of course that it should be removed. well, to the museum, obviously, the old sculptures are 100% to the museum, and she herself it was possible to make some kind of monument to the ukrainian in the end, if this is so, then why do we have so many discussions that are almost deadlocks ? good friends who, even at one time, when the same marker that is now in moscow, people with bats and even worse things beat ukrainian patriots near the odesa region, that these patriots were no longer young people, intellectuals became cripples, disabled persons of the second group,

so what about now well, how do you say it is heard like this yes, of course, you can hear and see, but it is no longer audible or visible taras honcharuk, a historian, is in touch with us, we are talking about that what is happening in odesa, and in odesa, i will remind you, today they began to dismantle the monument to the russian empress catherine ii, which was just confirmed by a historian, well, this is known information, it was installed in 2007, and according to historians, the monument will have some special historical value no less, they are not destroying it, they are moving it to the odessa art museum, which the odessa city council has already announced. well, i will remind you that for a long time there were passionate discussions in odessa about what to do with this monument, and only for the second time in the odessa city council voted the following the decision is

to dismantle this monument, did taras goncharuk join us, no, they tell me. well, today we showed you the comments of odessa residents, in fact, many of them. whom did we hear today who supported the idea of ​​dismantling the monument? it's hard to imagine. in fact, why would a single person from odessa talk about this so calmly, maybe even a few years ago, now we see that the situation in the city and the mood are changing radically. well, they have been talking about demolishing the monument for a very long time , in fact, since 2014. yes, for sure. well, but today it seems that there is a full stop to this question taras honcharuk, the historian, has already joined our broadcast again taras, did something happen with the connection, do you hear and see me like this, and i see you? so, what do i want to ask about very often, especially putin likes to repeat about what empress catherine ii is said to be the founder of

odessa, but speaking literally on october 27 at the moldovan forum, he repeated this thesis again. that is, it is completely such a propaganda narrative that has no relation to reality. i understood you correctly from what you said . -e the fact is that the er-e idea in varossia about what kind of thing it is , you know, a person will not come up with the fact that there were never zaporozhian cossacks and crimean tatars here and er-e, that's why they founded everything here, they putin can do nothing again i'm so black humor mariupol was founded when they destroyed and conquered the city of khajibi, which was a city as well as an act of a mosque as a budget simferopol was an important city for the akhtiarians sevastopol it was also a city and kodak katerynoslav dnipro

was also a city before them moreover, it won’t even be here whether they renamed everything they did, renamed it, and allegedly re-established it. of course, kateryna means well, that is, well , that is not even what she did bad to the ukrainian, polish, crimean tatar other people, where she simply did not do anything good for odessa in her lifetime. and this is really so. it is really very strange. the year is 2007. president viktor yushchenko. it would seem. well, what a monument to catherine ii in odessa, but you say that you remember those he was a very weak president, i'm sorry. he was a very weak president, he didn't control. i'll say how, how, in history, which simply means that he didn't control, not that crimea, even kyiv, there are such chernivtskyi came to power like that yes, so what and that's why he didn't control it and on

it's a pity moscow did everything she wanted here and these were the ones who were protecting it. i 'm sorry, last year in odesa, iconic buildings, old, cool signs, you were destroyed for the whole of ukraine, and every year real sights are destroyed. and this flood they want to protect do you understand the russian world, to some extent, there are some countries like odessa, it is not irrational in them, they worship faith, you know what catherine ii did with the russian orthodox church. well, tell me, she collected all the estates and the number of monasteries decreased how many times has another school been closed, but they will still love her. she killed her husband, she is rare, ugly as a person, but they will still kiss

the hand of the one who beats them like stalin, this is irrational and she has not done anything good for odessa , but let's face it radically how literally the opinion of odessans has changed this year. we just listened to the comments of odessans. yes, some are for, some are against, but it seems that the majority is in favor of you. the turning point here happened this year because of the war. well, by the way, we have been trying for a long time, you know , for a long time, we did not have such opportunities to convey our opinion to the point, but we gradually , the war became a turning point, but you understand, now the information society is such that today people think one way and tomorrow historians think differently it's just the history of ukraine, you know, i've been studying for a long time, but historians have, what 's against it, what's against these propaganda methods, this is basic knowledge , now many ukrainians are finally getting

basic knowledge of the history of ukraine, including tours for the military and including the military we have very conscious people who are fighting and preparing to fight, ideological and basic knowledge, now the war has had an effect , of course, they just saw why all this was done, maybe it finally reached them of course we don't have any later propaganda - it won't change but us thank you very much propaganda works well thank you very much taras honcharuk historian we discussed the dismantling of the monument to catherine ii in odesa thank you russian forces fired all night in dnipropetrovsk region, nikopol district was the most affected, said the head of the region, valentina reznichenko, the russian hrads and your artillery also damaged private houses, farm buildings, infrastructure objects in dnipropetrovsk region, it is previously known that people are unharmed, in addition, this

morning, explosions rang out in several cities of donetsk region, in particular, in slavyansk kramatorsk, kostiantynivka and the shelling of the people of avdi does not stop in bakhmut, the occupying forces continue to destroy residential buildings at night as a result of one of the so caught fire high-rise building, three people were injured, reports the head of the donetsk region, pavlo kyrilenko, and in another missile attack kharkiv was hit by russian troops who attacked the slobid district of the city. the mayor of kharkiv good evening, maybe there is some latest news about today's attack, we know about one person who was injured what is happening now in the morning there were attacks in the city, there was an arrival of two years with 300 e-e, one

man was injured, he is now in the hospital and now e-e, his eyes are e-well-being, prices, as for the average severity of the injuries, were that as for the e-e day, he passed there no more less eh, you know, calmly, eh, the air alarms sounded. it was very often, but nevertheless, eh, kharkiv, eh, he lived this day with his life, and our electric transport worked, and all the communal enterprises, all the enterprises that are working now, were in place. -e also worked the markets were working as usual, supermarkets, shops , pharmacies, that is, life was like this while it is

now in wartime, tell me what is happening in the city with the supply of electricity , because i had heard before that the region does not produce electricity at all due to attacks on critical infrastructure and other regions of the region are helping kharkiv oblast. as for electric power supply, in kharkiv velopostacha there is a power outage. depending on the time, it varies, but the electricity supply is now available, as i said, our electric transport is working, it is a tram, trolleybuses run according to the schedule of the subway. therefore, this supply is available on the first day, you are ready for blackouts. we

ask this question every time to the mayor of the city, but the situation changes every time how is the city ready for blackouts to say that in fact we already had cities kharkiv experienced blackouts when there was no power supply for a day, but we treat it very carefully and all points of invincibility are working and points are working heating and uh when the poster comes and when there is no electricity supply in this or that house, residents can come kharkiv residents can go to the inviolability point to the heated point and stay there at this time until your electricity supply is renewed and tell me please, how many people live in the city now, and in general, can you note some trend? people leave the city in the winter, now, on the

contrary, they come to the city. people from kharkiv now, uh, i estimate how uh, the fact that the city of kharkiv now has somewhere around a million there are 100,000,000 residents of the city of kharkiv, and there are people who came to us from the de- occupied territories. our our liberation by our heroic military and now people are coming to the city of kharkiv we are setting up in the dormitories we have such an opportunity and they are now in the city but allow me this somewhat personal question i noticed recently you speak ukrainian

- it is yours such a conscious transition took place yes, this is a conscious transition, because i already said that in the official interview, i will communicate exclusively in ukrainian, and as for my meetings with the people of kharkiv, we speak in different languages. including not ukrainian in the slobojan language, that's why i think it's the right decision, slobojan is what it's local, well, it's a hanger, of course, for clothes, and there are still a lot of such expressions that are present only in the slobojan region, that's why we talk, you know that well, that's how i want to tell you. well, that's what slobozan is

we will talk. and today we are all starting to sum up some of the results of the year of memory of ryakhov, and what did this year teach you? well, in fact, it taught you a lot. it is a very big challenge that, uh, was uh, before the city , before the people of kharkiv, and i think that we withstood this challenge worthily, passed it and are moving on, thank you very much ihor terekhov, the mayor of kharkiv was on radio freedom, thank you in france at the ski resort of courchavel law enforcement officers detained ukrainian businessman and former mp kostyantyn zhivago this was reported in the state bureau of investigation was told there that the ukrainian side is currently preparing documents for the extradition of ukraine's lifeguard kostyantyn zhivago was a people's deputy of six

convocations in 2019, he lost the district in poltava oblast to a candidate from the people's servant shortly in september 2019. zhivago was informed of the suspicion within the framework of the investigation of criminal proceedings about embezzlement 113 million dollars of the funds of the finance and credit bank, the beneficiary of which was zhivago, after which the law enforcement officers declared him wanted, but at that time zhivago was no longer in ukraine, all the charges to his address he denied. and the press service of the businessman reported that zhivago was abroad for treatment. kostyantyn zhivago recently came to light publicly, not of his own volition, in the material of ukrainian pravda , the monaco battalion was in the summer of 2022, then journalist mykhailo tkach recorded the businessman on his own yacht, which shuttled between european resorts, will they be able to extradite the weight to ukraine, what awaits him in kyiv and does he still have interests in ukrainian politics and business, we will

talk about this later, oleksandr joins the broadcast parish director of analytics, concord capital good evening good evening and the news about the arrest of a living person came as a surprise to you, well , this has been asked for a long time because, uh, questions about mr. living and what was done in his bank they started to arise in 2015, when this bank was declared insolvent, and of course it is very unexpected that this happened today. i would like these issues to be raised to a high level much earlier, but we have what we have. can you very briefly remind us of the essence of the matter? accused zhivago with this money laundering. i correctly understood 113 million dollars. if we talk about the

articles that are incriminated in zhivago's plan, then we are talking about the organization of the crime of misappropriation or embezzlement of especially large amounts of property and money laundering, that is, the ukrainian investigative authorities consider him to be the organizer of the much-talked-about 113 million dollar embezzlement scheme, according to the investigators, was that the bank he owned at that time had placed 113 million dollars in a foreign bank and in principle, this money was considered liquid, that is, it can be

returned to the bank at any time to settle with the bank's borrowers, for example, the bank's depositors , but how did the money turn out? acted as a guarantor for some other loan, for that loan, the person who took it did not pay, and accordingly, the foreign bank took this money, as if it were a guarantee, which the borrower himself did not fulfill, it sounds like the bank guaranteed it with our money in front of a foreign creditor by someone else, the borrower who borrowed money from a foreign bank did not return it to the credit and, accordingly, to the

banks and took the money from the bank finances and credit eh, well, it looks like, well, really, someone there did not pay off something, but then it was like this well, a very simple scheme for withdrawing money from ukrainian banks, there were some interests in ukrainian politics and or in business. well, we know that he remained the owner of the autocracy of one of the largest manufacturers of automotive equipment, but we we remember that autokras was recently transferred to the possession of the state as a strategic object. well, once upon a time,

he had other large factories, which are now located in the temporarily occupied territories of luhansk oblast. he also had a number of other assets, but his largest assets are rightly considered to be the most productive holding ferrex, which in ukraine owns two mining and beneficiation plants in the poltava region. well, do you think he will be extradited? it is very difficult to say anything because it should be obvious to decide the court, but well, the charges against panazhivo are quite serious and it looks like there is a very high chance that he will have to defend his position in the

ukrainian courts. once we were here when we were researching the biography of kostyantyn zhevago, so there is such a quote from his interview 2018 money is the year money is a tool for obtaining freedom . what do you think now, how much can you estimate the fortune of konstantin alive in ukraine? he is one of the ten or twenty richest people. well, we can talk about today. probably only about himself. the ferrex holding itself today, if we evaluate his share of 50% of the holding with a conference pot, we can say that today his fortune reaches approximately 600 million dollars. if we are talking about a year ago, then it was probably about 2.5 billion dollars, that is, it

has decreased a little. what in that case? and what in that case can happen to his assets, which are in ukraine? well, in the event that he is extradited and if the court finds him guilty, and then confiscation is possible, one of the options is, well, those articles, those articles. are incriminated by e-e dbr. yes, they foresee deprivation of liberty there from seven to 12 years with confiscation of property, that is, if his participation in this crime is proven by the court, then there is a very high probability that e-e shares, 50% of forex shares will be confiscated for the benefit of the state of ukraine another very short question

, the prosecutor general of ukraine andriy kostyan commented on the detention of the living in france and he says that this is confirmation that everyone is equal before the law. similar cases in ukrainian business about which there are doubts, well at least we can definitely state that before the laws that are in force in the european union, everyone is really equal , including our oligarchs. we remember very well the fate of others - the once very influential businessman dmytro firtash, who has been under arrest in austria for eight years, despite the fact that he is a billionaire, and it is obvious that the same fate may await other big businessmen

who can evade in europe or the united states states from ukrainian justice thank you very much oleksandr parashii director of analytics concord capital we talked about the probable or possible extradition of the ukrainian businessman kostyantyn is alive thank you the russian court in the occupied crimea sentenced citizen journalist and nurse iryna danylovych to seven years in prison on charges of possession of explosives at court the woman denied guilt and she said that she had an explosive case for glasses
