famous ukrainian entrepreneur, philanthropist and politician kostyantyn zhivyo as it is known, a few days ago in one of the local courts in france, the request of the office of the prosecutor general and the state bureau of investigation on the extradition of businessmen of ukraine was considered. the court decided to appoint a detailed consideration of the application on january 19 and removed all restrictions from mr. zhivago after he made bail and provided appropriate guarantees, now the businessman is in france awaiting a court hearing, but now mr. zhivago is in contact with the espresso studio. greetings, father kostyantyn, glad to see you, congratulations. and what exactly is konstantin zhivago accused of, i will briefly tell this story so that you understand what we will actually be talking about. and what is the essence of this case? according to the conclusions of the investigators, in 2007-2014, the finance and credit bank acted as a guarantor for

several loans to foreign banks , companies that received these loans regularly and serviced them as they should and the banks did not have any claims against these institutions. but in the 15th year, the national bank unexpectedly for everyone was brought into the finance and credit temporary administration because of that, of course, foreign banks played it safe and forcibly wrote off the funds from the bank. kostyantyn zhivago as the beneficial owner of the bank of finance and credit, lawyers note that the writing of funds took place already after the national bank introduced a temporary administration on the management of the bank appointed by the shareholders at the time was suspended from managing the bank, that is, no, he had no influence, while zhivago himself did not was an official, therefore, those who actually managed the financial institution at the time and had

to prevent it should be responsible for the write-off of the bank. and this is the deposit guarantee fund , and the temporary administration was appointed by it i think you have briefly understood what we are talking about. well, mr. kostyantyn, what is your assessment of the progress of the investigation of this case? they simply don't give me access to justice, i 15 times 15 every month carefully apply to the state bureau of investigation, to the prosecutor general's office and to the court and ask, please, take my testimony, please investigate the case because it actually brings me a lot of negative pr, a lot of negative business, because people do not understand within the framework of this case at night , am i guilty or not guilty, so i want to prove this case as soon as possible, or it gives closure or until it is considered in court, but neither the dbr nor

the prosecutor's office are interested in this because i say 15 times every month i try to ask them hmm ask me to testify according to the law to have a video conference with me in the consulate or switzerland or great britain or france today i i will burn to apply to apply again to have it done in france, all this is a legal procedure for me to testify, we conducted an investigation and or closed the case, as required by law, within a year i took it to court, but the prosecutor’s office is not interested in this even for a day. of course, they violate everything that can only be violated in court, but the pechersk court, unfortunately , simply condemns all of these as their decisions that do not withstand any criticism, well, obviously with certain people who work either in the scope of the prosecutor general or in the state bureau the investigation has an idea to arrest you, if this is so, then who can

benefit from it? well, i want to tell you the program that they are trying to sell to ukrainian voters, nine oligarchizations, where i was called an oligarch, although i am not an oligarch, i am a big businessman and mmm where is a well-known entrepreneur and a successful entrepreneur who develops his enterprises that create thousands of jobs and this did not happen during the last three years, this all happened during the last 25 years and i do not consider myself an oligarch at all because well, who can me to say either from journalists or from politicians or i am soft. i am related to the state that i once managed some mini-departments and state companies. well, i will talk about this directly in other future programs in other interviews that will be given, but well, all this cannot stand does not withstand any criticism either in ukraine or abroad

because well, if i would make iq-companies in london if i built another foreign campaign that works very successfully in europe , in the united states and the company that was built and they work in ukraine well, please tell me in what way, honey, for what reason, it is unclear, why do they call me an oligarch, so that when i was called an oligarch, it was today as part of this program of depoliticization in ukraine, because it is very profitable for the office of the president, who distributes commands and the prosecutor's office and the dbr and definitely having an influence on his pecherskyi court, without having any influence on the higher authorities, but on the lower instance, unfortunately, we understand this, we perceive it through this court in the city of kyiv in the same way such as in the basman court in the city of moscow or some such custom courts that

unfortunately exist in other dicts, we are in other republics of the former soviet union, and definitely the interest of pr on the interest of the president's type, in addition, as far as i know, as far as i am informed by other participants, we will the market has an interest in some of my assets in ukraine, which are seized by the same pechersk court or other courts at the request of the dbr, and after that there are interests in interested persons to somehow simply remove some of my the property that i have in ukraine exists and remains, and i am proud of the fact that this property was built, developed , jobs were created, and we want all these enterprises and property and assets to work for ukraine, work for ukrainian people, for ukrainian society well, all the more so because the law on oligarchization, which

has already been mentioned, gives five points on how to define an oligarch and at least three of these five points must coincide, there we are talking about political activity, well, about certain finances about the influence on me of the media about access to state resources, well, you don’t have an exact uh, you don’t have this specifically, that’s why these are just names, is he an oligarch or is he not an oligarch, well, now all this can be determined as in mathematics, just compare and see if it is true or not. well but in our country they like to use this word both left and right, no, so the question is, do you see the connection between this criminal case and your political activity? believe me, i was a member of the verkhovna rada from one district and was elected there for 21 years in a row and not for nothing, people elected me as a young deputy when i was 24 years old and i worked for 21 years as a deputy from the region where i developed industry, jobs and paid taxes. of course, on the same day that the verkhovna rada was dissolved year on the same day that the

deputy was registered as a candidate available deputies of the verkhovna rada in the dbr violated on the same day, the day of my registration, she filed a case against me in 2019, which as of today, we have 2023, unfortunately not it is being investigated, unfortunately, my direct explanations are not accepted, no one wants to accept them because no one is interested in investigating this case, everyone is interested in these pr actions, everyone is interested in publishing something all the time, reporting, making snipes, but in fact, no one is interested in in order to either prove it before the court or to close it as a case as such, which should never have been opened at all, does it have political overtones , or does it have a political color, and in a political sense, they definitely have because i lost the elections, the current rulers, political grays,

servants of the people, and of course i criticized the kumasi during the election campaign and criticized them afterwards for what they did wrong, because they did something right, something they did wrong . we have it, how was this political police elected to the parliament, this political force received 50 plus percent of the votes of ukrainians there, after that you v- it created its legislative field, adopted some laws, definitely even laws that were good i supported them and i support them because they are needed for society, for ukraine, for industry, for our economy, those laws that were passed by populists are not with me, they are not needed for the country, they just invented some kind of bicycle, of course i did not support them because i do not understand why with ukraine it is necessary to experiment because it is necessary to adopt exactly those laws that are adopted in the best

societies that are a model for us where we want our ukrainian people to live exactly as they live in europe, the united states , it is in japan, in australia. we cannot in this situation, try to live like there. and at the same time, adopt laws that do not exist there, and of course, as a pragmatic person, i criticized all this, and i was with you. that when any political force is criticized, in many cases, we do not accept it tolerantly and certainly does not agree very much with the criticism, although this is a normal political process and political parties exist for that, so that they do something for society, receive a mandate after that, if they do everything , then they are supported by society, if they they do something wrong, society does not support them, and you and i see and understand that if the poetic force came to power, it gained 50% plus in the elections, and after that, before the war, it had a rating of at least 10%. then, in my

understanding, society gives its assessment and says whether i am something, this political force is still doing something wrong, then the level of support drops from 50+ to 10 minus and that is exactly what they had before the military events before the war in ukraine and there is nothing wrong here if someone is engaged in pop , passes laws that the country simply does not need who lead the country into fornication, and the necessary laws are not adopted that would allow people to live in a democratically prosperous uh frankly honest life mmm sorry, with a perspective for yourself and with a perspective for your children in future generations, such a political force should be supported i have criticized and criticize and will criticize any political force that if this political force does something bad for the country because i am a sincere ukrainian, we are proud that i am ukrainian and i do not have any other passport and i want our country to have the laws are the same as in europe in the united states and so that our people live and

travel freely critical and wealthy well then i will ask if you have an understanding of how the case will proceed here is the next stage that we talked about on january 19 there should be a court hearing in france and what's next please i'm waiting now the meeting on the 19th which will take place 19 until january which will take place in france after that we depending on what the decision will be then um someone will further according to the legal field er challenge it or it will be er defense or it will be er -hmm those sides that started all these things are now in france and definitely it will take some time, that is, it

has definitely comply with court decisions because i believe that the legal system in civilized european countries such as france, great britain, switzerland, austria is democratic, it is just, and therefore there is no reason for me not to comply with any court decision, and i i say that well, i was brought up in such a way that i will comply with any lawful decision of any lawful court, definitely what is accepted by the pechersk court of the city of kyiv and we, as it were, what is accepted by some other courts that are influenced by politicians and that are influenced by the office of the president and general of the european court of human rights when i looked at the statistics for the 21st year of the european court of human rights, i wrote that in the first place from ukraine to the

european court of human rights, it is the largest in europe, that is, the european court itself says that, unfortunately, the ukrainian legal court system is unjust in many cases, and this gives, as it were, the opportunity to turn to the european court of human rights in order to correct all the unjust and illegal decisions made by the ukrainian courts and excuse me today i have statistics of 192 cases reviewed by the european court of human rights in the 21st year and i recognized that this is a systemic problem of ukrainian justice in relation to the fact that, unfortunately, the new prosecutor's office and the dbr through ukrainian courts with by ukrainian citizens, and as far as the meme is concerned, the further consideration and development of this case, i still hope and i will appeal again and i have appealed 15

times to the prosecutor's office and the dbr, so that they introduce themselves legally, so that they do not listen to me, so that they took me from me in the end, they solved an interesting case, in my opinion , they are oppressors, they will not even bring it to court because there is nothing to bring to court, but i am sure that they owe it to them according to the law. if it was really the law, they would have listened listened to the law and hoped according to the law, then they should close it and admit it, they would apologize to him after that if they admit that they introduced themselves wrongly and accordingly to me and to some other people who they first began to present some suspicions and accusations to them and some they were held in prison for six months, four months, eight months, and after that they were released, and now they are not even interested in them, they do not even drink them, they do not say anything, but if the prosecutor's office believes and the dbr believes that they have a case and that they will

bring it to the end no questions, let's ask her we are investigating as soon as possible, we will take it to court so that it can be considered by the first instance, the second instance after that, and the supreme court, where i hope and believe that there is justice in the supreme court. m rights by protective institutions and we in the supreme court, although it takes time, but justice can be achieved, i am only quoting the position of the kharkiv human rights protection group, which is respected in ukraine, not only in ukraine, it has published its opinion on political motives of persecution and violation of human rights in the proceedings against you e p kostyantyn so they said that kostyantyn zhevago is a victim of political persecution, this is the opinion of the kharkiv human rights protection group, which accurately declared itself as one of those groups, and there are those people who should be trusted, who

deserve respect in legal circles and human rights circles but in principle, as people who are moral authorities in their own way, and i have one more question for you, you know, you are also a philanthropist and a public figure, so how are you evgeny chikalenko said many years ago that ukraine should be loved not only to the depths of your soul, but also to the depth of your pocket, and here i will ask the role of your business, with whom you are connected and as businessmen from the forbes list in e-e help ukraine in the contribution in his contribution to the common victory to which we are all going together. please, thank you. well, of course, for us, it is precisely the strategic and most important problems and the most important issue today - this is victory in the war, the war must end, so that people stop dying, so that people in ukraine began to live democratically , defend the country, rebuild it and definitely develop our society in order to become a modern, successful, and we are definitely

a european democratic country in which ukrainians and ukrainian people would like to live and where foreigners who came came as well as guests would like to live as tourists to our country, of course. this is the main goal today to end the war with a victory, in turn, as we are sincere, my ukrainian and all my people who work with me, who work at enterprises, we do everything in order for this to speed up the victory as quickly as possible and to get it as soon as possible and to end this whole war, you start rebuilding the country in this regard, we do, first of all, we work, we give today difficult conditions, we give people the opportunity to have a job, have a salary, a salary, pay taxes to local state and other budgets because

these are all local budgets, these are salaries for teachers, doctors, doctors, or if any people who simply help people live in society, who perform their state functions, who perform their local functions, who simply give people the opportunity to live a civilized life and this is the most important thing that we do, we do it so that it is easiest to close enterprises and say that the war has started. we can't do anything stop giving people jobs stop giving wages to families stop feeding people and children stop paying taxes and in my understanding, there is a military front which is very important, which we respect and deeply respect our military for what they do on the battlefield, but there is also another economic front without which there is no additional front and it is very important that this economic front really works, that it really exists, that

the economy works that will support and military actions will support society will support our citizens and definitely this is the most important thing . the owner or major shareholders of the company, all my teams and all the people who work together with me, we have already, hmm, provided financial, charitable, medical and any kind of assistance the communities that need the territories i have the help that the cities need in the villages, all this amount together at the beginning of the military operations, it is already accounted for in the amount of more than a billion hryvnias and this can be seen by many, not even tens, but hundreds organizations of people of the territory to the recipients who received all this or money or

m equipment or medical aid or food aid or technical aid to provide anything that is, we look at everything, we consider everything and everything everywhere we can help, we help because it is our responsibility is definitely for today without me as a manager today it will reveal the reality of me as an owner as a shareholder and it is the responsibility of all those people with whom we work with all of our labor teams to do exactly this because society needs help the military needs help and we will all provide it like all the time and in the same way as we can everything that you we can give for the front and what we can give for people for society we will do it because we all work for a single victory for a modern, just, democratic, developed and prosperous ukraine.

at the groups of b vitamins that contribute to the removal of toxins from the body, who not only remove those toxins from our bodies, but natural antibiotics, among other things, and citrus fruits also strengthen the immune system , normalize metabolic processes, i really want to emphasize hmm that in addition to taste and benefits, of course, there are often disadvantages, and maybe even harm, and that's why oranges, mandarins and grapefruits should be very careful to be taken by people who have, for example, gastritis with increased acidity, and in general problems with such digestion, and also citrus fruits, well, this is also known. and they clean it effectively, oranges reduce swelling and grapefruits
