he was not the only one who could have done something wrong, that's why the question here is that kobolev is allegedly also being investigated. but won't kobolev be a dangerous witness for other people because they don't think that big things can be made in ukraine, whatever they say on their own, what do we want? in this story we want justice and we want everything to be in accordance with the letter of the law and i am convinced that if this process will be public and if the anti-corruption bodies will act in accordance with the letter of the law, then justice will prevail i do not want us today accused or defended kovel, because once again i say from a moral point of view, i do not accept the 200 million bonus at a time when the country was definitely not in the best situation from a legal point of view. i think that in 2023 all the dots will be placed, judging by the fact that kobolev did not escape as he says he returned to

ukraine. he has his arguments in order to protect the timely name, it is very important that if we are talking about naftogaz, the question should still be asked to those managers who worked at naftogaz in the 21st year, when really with a profitable company, naftogaz suddenly becomes bankrupt. and if i am not mistaken, the funds in the amount of 3 billion dollars, which were obtained as a result of winning in court, they disappeared somewhere , too. i am convinced that society will be interested to know. and where these people went, of course, it is interesting, we understand that such things must to consider in a complex this complex begins. i think not even from the firth cases in ukraine. i think that this story has deeper roots. we remember that there were a lot of different characters, so to speak, who acted even for kuchma's time, we understand how it was built and we understand the whole story. so why, for example, the same orban is so, so to speak

, faltering in his definitions, so to speak, i wanted to say sexual , actually political, that is, is he with the european union or is he with russia on but we understand. so hungary has little significant influence. so to speak, the chemical, to put it mildly, chemical gas lobby, but they are not the only ones . more than 150 signatures were collected for parliamentary mandates. and here's what's next. well, four, so to speak, were loudly and with applause deprived of the right to be called a people's deputy of ukraine for obvious reasons, but we also understand that four does not mean all, gentlemen. it seems to me that with regard to these four people, it is more like this you know, a piece of society was thrown

out in order for society to calm down, you see. we are a bear cub. we still threw others out of the parliament. first of all, this is not enough. and secondly, in my opinion, today society itself should to get a very clear result, this is all those who worked for the moscow propaganda machine, all those who in fact brought a full-scale invasion closer by their actions must answer to the law, and as for the opzzh, not only 150 signatures were collected, and in order for this issue to be urgently considered, not only collected on the president 's website 25,000 signatures on a petition to resolve this issue, at the moment there is a draft law which, conditionally speaking , using the imperative mandate, provides all legal grounds to deprive people's deputies

from the police and the deputies of the local councils of their statuses, because as for medvedchuk, well , in my opinion, this is so certain, you know. well, if not a gift, then everyone will definitely get a car blanche for medvedchuk. i was waiting to explain to myself why medvedchuk was returned to russia without completing the criminal investigation related to his actions in ukraine today he is de jure not a citizen of ukraine, today the ukrainian themis cannot present him with many of these charges that should be presented to him as a citizen of ukraine, and today he is somewhere in moscow and placed in various descriptions in moscow newspapers and what does he think about ukraine? this is a conscious or unconscious mistake by the ukrainian authorities. he should have been tried. he should have answered before the law. i am

convinced that as a criminal he was then exchanged for the ukrainian military, because the fact that he was exchanged for the ukrainian military is actually a very good thing . and it's very good that our soldiers returned home, but the fact that it was done too wrong from a legal point of view, in my opinion. well, it seems to me that this is a problem, that's why today there is a bill who says that the mps from the ukrainian communist party, without depriving them of ukrainian citizenship, but in other words, giving the opportunity to investigate their actions in accordance with ukrainian legislation, using the status of an imperative mandate, because today the ukrainian communist party does not exist as a political force, the faction of the ukrainian communist party, they left it by switching from other groups, so they are today fall under the influence of the decision which, on the basis of this, should deprive them of the status of people's deputies, and this draft law is pending and the political will

of the authorities is needed to do this. i am convinced that these 150 where are the signatures and my signature will also speed up this process, i want to ask you recently the head of the us central department burns met with the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi and there was a conversation between them , i don't understand there is no need to do anything further in this case , warnings can be made to the president that concern the security of the entire state. the same as it was before the full-scale invasion when people were told to stay at home, but in fact one day later in these houses where people stayed, there were already russian soldiers who killed like that, that is, are there certain things that should have been announced, or is there such a procedure provided for, let's say , certain things that concern us, the security of the state, must be made public. well, again, secretly, but at least made public well, let's say that we have to fulfill security issues that have access to state secrets of us. as i understand it , they go through a certain certain assembly and they must have access, well, deputies, because the consequences of the parliamentary presidential state and here

the question arises: why do i not feel comfortable when only one person knows, and the people whom i elected as deputies? well, they do not know, and therefore, in any case, we do that no one will warn me. and these may be questions that do not concern the security of the president himself, but concern security of the entire state, shouldn't we get involved, they know everything there and will figure it out themselves well, if you take into account that there are former members of the national security committee in the committee on national security, then it is no longer brought out like that, it already looks somehow different. maybe i'm not saying anymore i have access to that, that is, they later they died. they are people's deputies, they don't have the same new year. of course, as people's deputies, they have full access to the same secret. and this is another argument why we need to finish this story with pzz. well, today is not a page. the head of the committee on freedom of speech, well, that is, we do not think that a person who

represented the pro-russian camp throughout his political career today controls freedom of speech in ukraine, de facto this is unacceptable, but if we return to the visit of the director of the cia. indeed, i think that everyone noticed that this is the second visit, his first visit took place before the start of a full-scale invasion, and each of us can guess why exactly the director of the cia actually personally met with the president of ukraine and what he personally conveyed, we know that before the full-scale invasion, the director the cia demonstrated the plan possessed by the american intelligence of the invasion. and by the way, unfortunately, this plan fully corresponded to the actions of the russians that they committed on february 24, starting with the attempt to land an amphibious assault in gostomed and ending the directions of the main strikes, including on kyiv. therefore, i am convinced that the director of the cia did not just ride around like that. well, the question is that this

information appeared in the washington post newspaper, and this also indicates that the american side wanted the information about this visit to be public after all and was made public, you see that this visit coincides with the huge aid that is coming from the western world today 3 billion from the united states of america package the next package that is being prepared 2.5 billion today's meeting in ramstein tanks missiles munitions armored personnel carriers we have never had such a large amount of help at the same time that we received at this very moment the statement of the president of poland duda that today there is a battle for ukraine and the threat to ukraine is more than real therefore i am convinced that the

conversation was definitely about russian behavior and pro-russian plans which concerning ukraine, what plans do they have, their plans have remained the same as they were in the 14th year as they were in the 22nd year , this is to destroy ukraine, for sure, it is about the methods of implementing these plans that it is the russians who are planning today, because the grouping of troops that they have concentrated on the territory of russia in bryansk and kurshchyna and the grouping that they have concentrated today on the occupied part of the ukrainian territory are significant enough to carry out offensive actions accordingly, but i am convinced that this technique should be enough for us to in order to carry out a counteroffensive, because practically 1000 battleships are a good enough opportunity to use the tactics used by the ukrainian army and the armed forces in the kharkiv direction

to be used in zaporizhzhia and to be used in those areas where it is necessary for you to remember the scumbag, maybe you have some information in order to interpret the meeting between the chief of the american joint staff marco mili and valery luzhznymi, the general commander, so we understand that maybe maybe i don't know for sure yet a representative of the polish military command was attached to them in one or another format. well, i don't know, maybe, maybe not. what do you think it could be about? come on, i think it's not difficult for us to guess what it was about war yes and it is very good that this meeting took place by the way, the first personal meeting of mila and zaluzhny and it is very good that their personal contact took place there, not only the contact that took place online. i am convinced that they synchronized our actions with the help of our allies in order to to oppose

russia and in order to take actions for a counteroffensive and to liberate ukrainian territories in the west, our partners are helping us very, very seriously, and i want to say that when i was in the east of ukraine on monday, we visited our brigades located in the kramatorsk district, in the yampol district, in the kupyansk district, then i witnessed the launch of the heimers rockets, which, according to information reports, then hit the location of the muscovites in the soledar district. i want to say that this is just such an extremely beautiful sight. and if you understand that this spectacle also brings to the ukrainian records, it makes you feel pride for the cooperation of the armed forces of ukraine and our partners. to ask about the information that your colleague oleksiy goncharenko will provide what the alleged

president started to think about how to dismiss kyryll tymoshenko, the deputy head of the president's office, it coincided right after burns' visit, he asked well, no, i don't think that burns is very focused on who tymoshenko is, although spies, they have to orient themselves to everything. please tell me why, now it is clear why . and here, i think that society today associates the great kraków with the figure of tymoshenko to what extent does it correspond to how much does it not correspond, again, things should be decided by law enforcement bodies and, first of all, anti-corruption bodies, but the fact that our allies fundamentally and purposefully force the ukrainian authorities to fight against corruption , including against corruption within the authorities, is 100%, because we do not we will be able to win if , firstly, we are not united, secondly, if we do not support the armed forces of ukraine and help the armed forces of ukraine, and thirdly,

if we put up with corruption inside states, well, finally, gentlemen, you mentioned your trip to the east. if we talk about the needs of our soldiers, we understand that there are certain directives. well, they don't have the right, maybe they don't want to, and so on, say what they need, in your opinion, in that, we should focus on our various volunteer structures and in general, last time it was about a possible wider company of assistance and support for our fighters, well, we have all heard about uavs, yes, about cars , the story is so clear. there were no such things. when you remember , the question arose that one of the charitable foundations announced that it would buy spartans. and then it turned out that these spartans cost twice as much as other charitable foundations bought similar ones. that's why it's distrust. it

can't be. under what circumstances, secondly, i understand that not all volunteer structures can, for example, like the poroshenko foundation, buy oshkovic big tractors for leopards for abrams that can move big big heavy heavy machinery because first of all it is necessary to have additional licenses well and that of course, there are huge resources, or the same poroshenko fund buys spartans there or buys shields , well, that is, not every volunteer fund can do such things, but you know it is very important that each of us in our place contributes as much as we can, because when one buys a point, other spartans, a third, work on drones the fourth is in another direction, this is a very, very big effort together. well, i would really like the volunteer environment not to compete with each other, the volunteer environments should unite, because come back alive von

poroshenko, community affairs, the asylum fund is not necessary we must share, unite, because together we can do much, much more. but if we talk about the east, you know what is most impressive, there is no doubt and each of the ukrainian soldiers is convinced that he is there so that the war does not come to other ukrainian homes and the ultimate goal of every ukrainian the military is, firstly, the liberation of the occupied territories, and secondly, the military understands that in order for the war to end and never return, we need to become members of the eu and nato, and believe me, those boys and girls who are on the front lines understand this better than anyone others well, it means there is time for me to be told. that is why i will ask a question. by the way, mykola knyazhytsky wrote about this, who is the author of the bill on this ukrainian orthodox church. well, in general, russian churches in ukraine, how should they be treated and there is no steering wheel of the ukrainian orthodox church of the

moscow patriarchate the constitutional court said period there is a russian orthodox church in ukraine and there it was about the fact that in general the activity was prohibited or they had to determine as far as i understand who they should be with but at the same time despite everything that this the bill is discussed in the parliament, the public in the media, the cabinet of ministers submits to the verkhovna rada a bill that prohibits the activities of religious organizations in ukraine that are controlled by the state that carry out armed aggression against ukraine, but the bill is called something very like that or so on clerical what is there regarding some issues in religious and so on, she does not understand anything about what, please tell me why is this some other bill? is it some kind of facsimile of what already exists and what is its purpose if there is already a project on which the deputies should work, well, first of all, three plus one, yes, the draft law, the first draft law that you are talking about, the main initiator of which was people's deputy mykola konyushynskyi, by the way,

he also suggested to other deputies from european solidarity to become co-authors of this draft law, including your humble servant - also became a co-author of this bill, more than that, it is not just a bill that was submitted, this bill was considered in the profile third of the verkhovna rada of ukraine and pay attention was unanimously supported and recommended for inclusion in the parliamentary hall, and honestly i expected that at the last session of the ukrainian parliament it would be considered in the hall and voted on, but we see that this did not happen, on the contrary , a draft law of the cabinet of ministers appeared, which by and large repeats everything that is in the bill of princely european solidarity, why is someone fighting for the fact that hanging a medal is not in this happiness, they want this bill to be voted on we will support this bill only

don't delay, put it in and let's vote , because the fifth moscow column, which covers the fsb epaulettes with papal robes, should be thrown out of ukraine, and this is not my opinion, it was an opinion, well, look, that is, there are historical shrines that belong to the ukrainian people as they were built by the ukrainian people there in person of its various representatives. that is, it is pochaiv, it is different lavras across ukraine, that is, they are flesh from flesh, if we are talking about ukrainian civilization, that is, regardless of its dimensions. is it the 16th century, the 17th or the 18th ? a great return of what is called someone's property and we call it, we call it shrines so that they belong to our people through the prism of churches , churches that have always been and have always

accompanied the life of our people. so simple. that's why in 2019 at the beginning of 2019 they didn't ask the question about the return of the kyiv-pechersk lavra . today, i very simply hear poroshenko's objections. why didn't poroshenko return the lavra? well, let's remember that only on january 6, 2019, the ukrainian church received the tomos, the official recognition of its canonicality. and two months later, the elections were held, and everyone would be talking about the fact that poroshenko had received the tomos. and now, before the elections, he wants something like this. it hasn’t been done for years, i don’t have an answer, but it’s good that it’s being done now and the orthodox church of ukraine has to conduct divine services in the kiev-pechersk lavra, there’s no doubt

and not on some one-time commission something like christmas or epiphany, but really , it should be done constantly, and here it is necessary to make a decision as soon as possible. likewise, the pochaiv lavra was built by monks of the ukrainian greek catholic church, this is known to everyone, it is historical. what did they start pulling from the kyiv -pechersk lavra? the pochaiv lavra and there is no doubt that this cell, which today is the fsb agency, should be returned to the ukrainian church, because there are two ukrainian churches, the orthodox church of ukraine and the ukrainian greek catholic church. these are two churches, kyiv churches. volodymyr baptism, they come from the same root and today they have every right to represent ukrainian spiritual life in ukraine, mr. oleg. but why are the blessed superiors of those churches so careful

? well, judging by their extreme interviews, they are extremely careful in such matters, they do not feel that way so to speak, that they receive state support, or is it possible, so to speak, the specifics of church education. i think that clergymen are real clergymen. they must definitely be different from politicians and politicians can do categorical sharp statements, clergymen must first of all protect spiritual shrines and spiritual life, and i am convinced that in the person of the blessed epiphany and the blessed svyatoslav we have real spiritual leaders of ukraine and the ukrainian state, the ukrainian nation can be proud that it was born from its womb of such real spiritual leaders of ukraine who are the father and

head of the ukrainian greek-catholic church in his beatitude sviatoslav and metropolitan of kyiv and all ukraine his beatitude epiphany she stays like that for literally two minutes, i don’t i know. i will briefly ask, because to clarify , the georgian government is in charge. they said that it is worth resuming air traffic between russia and georgia. in general, it became a shock for everyone, well, that is, where. but today, the president of georgia made a statement. sacratvelo salometrobishi said that it was stupid and she does not at all understand the position of the head of the government or the position of the ruling party, there can be no connection, and i am just curious. who makes the key decision on whether to be a government or not to be a government? is it still the president if they belong to the same political force and i i understand that this is a certain test of society's reaction, in my opinion. well, this is definitely not in harmony with the friendship of the ukrainian -georgian peoples who were, are, and will be

. indeed under such conditions. moreover, how many georgians are fighting now in the defense forces, how much help and how much support around the world, we see, so to speak, pointing out the place of the russians to lovers of the russian world who come to georgia among georgians and here the behavior of politicians well, it looks very, very, very strange, meanwhile , there is an extremely important signal from berlin, so after the meeting in rammstein from the newly appointed minister of defense of germany, boris historiaus. so, berlin instructed the bundeswehr and manufacturers to check the leopard stocks in order to be ready for possible deliveries to ukraine. he instructed his ministry to prepare for days what may come of this story said on the sidelines of the meetings on friday, he is quoted by the edition of phases but there is no unanimous opinion, he said in the story about the negotiations regarding the supply of tanks to ukraine

of course, there is no unanimous opinion. i think that the story was simply delayed by very specific, so to speak, instructions from his chancellor, who confirmed him in his position, but according to the german minister of defense, the impression that germany is blocking such a decision is necessary. he added that he cannot yet say what it will be. decision and when it will be adopted, i said that it is necessary to prepare tanks, there will be no doubts, as well as this signal that sounded yesterday from the netherlands that they are ready f16, which they are replacing with f-35 to consider the possibility of transfer to ukraine, if such an application is made, this is also a very significant signal. believe me, today the integration of ukraine and nato is becoming stronger and the help of the west is becoming clearer and bigger, and there is no doubt that this is the help that will

speed up our victory, thank you very much oleg senyutka, a people's deputy of ukraine was with us, we are saying goodbye, now i will bring to your attention a story prepared by our correspondents so , bakhmut has turned into the eastern fortress of ukraine, the russian invaders have been in vain for six months they are trying to capture the city that they are occupying every minute they are shelling populated areas with all types of artillery tanks and small arms in the city there is not a single safe house and despite the danger thousands of civilians remain there how do they live in bakhmut let's see in the material the road to bakhmut is partially shot through enemy artillery, so you need to drive at a very high speed, at least 120 km. today, bakhmut is completely controlled by the armed forces of ukraine, but the shooting here does not stop. the situation in bakhmut is like this, they are constantly being shelled

. and we live just when we leave, it 's a total nightmare if we got here, there is no life in bakhmut, the city has no connection, heating, water and gas, any infrastructure or self- governing bodies, here you can only survive from the cold, just freeze yourself in the apartment no one looked after him, no one even knew, the neighbors came and said there, there, there is a pipe lying in any kind of help, you can get it at the humanitarian headquarters and points of indomitability , only here you can feel safe, warm and comfortable, we have heat, here you are, warm in we have a small house, we are already cooking food here, yes, so it means wi-fi, we have starline, people can see, well, communicate with their relatives , about

100 people come to each point of invincibility every day, like this 17-year-old boy, why do n't you leave yet, there is no one i introduce you to go to them, you yourself live here, there is a family, there is a mother, i and my grandmother are here in this city, yes, there is a part of it further, the river passes this behind bakhmutivka. now i am shelling the whole city. the population lives, yes, they obeyed, there are houses, there are children, there are bags there, there are five- story buildings, and they can’t even cross there, there is a road over a dam, well, it’s on an empty lot, you can see it from all sides, there’s a sniper working there, everything you want is in the bahmute, according to various estimates, it remains from five to eight thousand civilians , it is very difficult to convince them to leave the city, it is very dangerous here. well, what

to do, where and for what and with what ? a volunteer of the angels of salvation charity fund almost every day, he and his team risk their lives to bring humanitarian aid bakhmut if we are allowed to ship water a full car with us we get 300 six-liter bottles of water you will get a ton of 800 water if we have sajjak how to load it there is toilet paper. there is such a pad, so we have about 100 boxes. in addition, the salvation angels are evacuating people from cities such as bakhmut. during the full-scale invasion, the volunteers of the foundation took out up to 30,000 of civilians came today, one very large one,

or they brought 13 people, and there was even a higher record of 27 people, living in bakhmut means playing a terrible lottery, where instead of a winning ticket, death awaits anywhere and anytime. and while the armed forces of ukraine repel enemy attacks every day, this terrible lottery does not spread further to other cities artem lagutenko andriy verstyuk tv channels espresso 331 days of full-scale war between russia and ukraine continues for your attention news on espresso anzhelika sezonenko works in the studio 15-year-old
