life to georgian citizens is written by the publication well , the usa has already warned georgia about the introduction of sanctions due to the resumption of air connections with the russian federation. russian assets according to reuters, we are talking about more than 5 million dollars of russian oligarch konstantin malofeev, which was confiscated by a new york court in february due to accusations of evading sanctions previously the us department of justice accused malofeev, the owner of the orthodox tsargrad tv channel ttb, of financing separatists in the crimea, which russia annexed in 2014, to kaliningrad and kralovetsk in poland officially changed the name of a russian city and region to say in a new way , the commission on standardization of geographical names advises there that the old name was created artificially and

it is not connected with the history of the region , naming a city after a criminal in poland will not be allowed on the government portal in the kremlin , the renaming was called madness instead in the offices of the president of poland advised kremlin officials to learn history, i don't see any political context in the renaming for hundreds of years, the city located in the gulf of gdańsk was called krolewiec in polish, and everyone who has at least minimal historical knowledge remembers this very name very well. immanuel kant was born in a city with this name and not for any other reason, i can advise anyone in the kremlin, whether to their press secretaries or other commentators, read the story at least in the basic versions

representatives of 16 countries will compete for 10 places in the final , which will take place on saturday , in the final itself, the ukrainian band will perform the song hartovstil, meanwhile, liverpool organized an artistic maidan. to foggy albion with a ukrainian soul, see further this is eurovision or the eurovision fan zone, here they celebrate the day of ukraine, which means ukrainian music, non-stop, it's very cool because for a long time the first day is dedicated entirely to ukrainian culture, ukrainian food and everything ukrainian , it is very impressive because there are a lot of positive emotions, many ukrainians around and a cool atmosphere, we love ukrainian music, we know

several artists, she is so dynamic , we adore her tracks, she sings mainly about love but the performances are so cool, impressive , we like this kind of music and creativity - this is an incomplete list of ukrainian performers who entertain the audience and talk about the russian-ukrainian war. i support i go to ukraine every week. in manchester, i send donations for drones and other necessary things . every time i get a chance, i tell people about the war in ukraine, because you know, some people think that it is already over, because this topic appears less and less in the information field. i say no. the war has been going on for more than 10 years, alina. she lives in australia, she says she spent three months trying to get to eurovision, regretting that the song contest is not held in ukraine , i have tears in my eyes, i just want to be there, i want eurovision

to be there in ukraine, not here, but why are we we can do everything cool, as you can see here, in addition to ukrainian music , eurofest is going on in the fan zone. this is another big cultural event that attracts ukrainian artists to cooperate with british and ukrainian artists. we are very grateful to the british because they support us. if you were here, then on all the streets there are yellow and blue flags, but this is a very, very important event, not only the british , all normal civilized countries are supported by a large number of donors , they do a very large number of things to support ukraine, we support ukrainians in with all the difficulties they are going through now, i saw this amazing flag, it is half british, half ukrainian and i thought to myself, we in liverpool are happy

to welcome guests in general, in terms of organization , this year's eurovision format is very unusual , it is a close cooperation between public broadcasting and the british broadcasting corporation bbc, it is a manifestation of ukraine at the song contest, there will be a lot of performances by ukrainian artists both in the television part and behind the scenes with a lot of respect in their work. it was very nice. how are they they listen to all our wishes to some of our visions, the biggest difficulty was overcoming some emotional barrier due to events that happen all the time in ukraine, of course we sometimes wanted to shout conditionally rude words and despite the fact that, due to the war, the eurovision song contest is not held on the territory of ukraine, but in britain, in fact, in its organization there are large ukrainian contributions to liverpool, a large number

of ukrainian specialists came here, after all, there is a combination of ukraine and britain, a ukrainian team well, i can say that the presence quite large because there is an interval of actions that are being built, regimes from ukraine, as well as technical people and technical groups that are present . the a-a of ukraine are also represented at this project . ukraine is represented at the competition by a creative band , their performance will be in the finals on may 13. the only news , the latest information in this edition will be updated in less than an hour, and the marathon continues, the word of our conversational studio olga nimtseva and vadim kolodiychuk will continue to inform you, colleagues, your broadcast thank you olya welcome to all our tv viewers, in this hour, in particular, we will talk about the confiscated

russian assets, whose money will go to the restoration of ukraine, be with us, the defeat of the russians under bakhmut in some areas of the front, the enemy has retreated to a distance of up to 2 km, there is restoration, a program has started through which you can get funds for the repair of homes damaged as a result of the war, the application has already received a significant number of applications, it is about hundreds of thousands of damaged objects, and what about confiscated russian assets for the reconstruction of ukraine in ukraine has started the state service is restoration, it provides support for people who need to repair houses or apartments after war damage, president volodymyr zelenskyy said that a significant number of applications have already been received in the application, it is about the essence of thousands of damaged objects, and we have to

complete this task also for those of our people who was able to restore the damaged housing by his own efforts equality in aid - this is very, very important and a corresponding algorithm is needed the next step of compensation for the lost housing and it will be the us attorney general allowed the first transfer of confiscated russian assets to ukraine, these will be the funds of the russian oligarch konstantin malafeev , the exact amount is not disclosed by the american authorities at the moment. propaganda of separatism in the crimea annexed by moscow and we are happy to welcome igor eisenberg, a professor at new york university, to our broadcast. congratulations to igor i congratulate you, i congratulate all the viewers, the fact that

the attorney general of the united states of america actually gives permission and signs the legality of such a decision. does this mean that we will see the process of confiscation of private assets of russians in favor of ukraine , well, this is just an example of ... prosecutor general, he made a decision earlier, i don’t know why in ukraine they drew attention to this right now, it was already a few weeks ago. they didn't notice and this is happening, this is an example of the confiscation of malofeev's assets, it's like karland, he spoke very recently and he said that this is the first, but still the last step, that this will happen in the future, that the relevant

assets of russian oligarchs will be confiscated. in favor of ukraine yes, but earlier it was about the fact that the assets of private russians are more difficult to confiscate for the benefit of ukraine than, say, state assets well, because russia is the aggressor and, accordingly, what belongs to the russian federation is easier to transfer to the benefit of the state of ukraine, do you see these obstacles or are they no longer there ? the fact is that it depends on what kind of assets are the russian oligarchs and what sanctions were imposed on these assets by the united states, because if uh, when was it announced relevant sanctions and it was about the fact that these are illegal assets, that is, these are assets obtained as a result of some illegal actions or they

are illegally located in the american jurisdiction, then the ministry of justice obviously came to the conclusion that in such cases when they have absolutely exactly such data that this illegal - illegal an asset from the very beginning that is in the american jurisdiction well, it can be legally confiscated without a court decision, uh, with assets with the state archives of russia, well, uh , there are no decisions about them, but there are quite a few. the fact that, well, there are such natikas that they will return these assets to russia, that in one way or another , sooner or later, they will be used to restore against ukraine, because

russia must pay for what it rushed for all for all these crimes for all the destruction that was not caused in ukraine, well, that is, it can be fairly called the first swallow. yes, and in principle, this episode should be considered as a precedent. this will not be the last case, because i work there in the ministry of justice, there is a special team that deals with this. i think that it will not be, you know , it will not be such a flow of such decisions, because they must have one hundred percent proof that this is from the point of view of the american legislation, illegal assets or that they were illegally in the united states, because otherwise this or that oligarch can be sued and the court can recognize, for example , that it is not private property and cannot be confiscated if the ministry

of justice has evidence that it is an illegal asset who is illegally in the united states, then, then, then, then there will be such decisions , and what was demonstrated by merikard well, he himself predicts that there will be such a decision in the future that this is really the first swallow and then there will be more games, but for a better understanding of the ukrainian audience of how it is happening in the united states, you have already started to talk about it in principle, but i want more details, that is, if the attorney general of the united states of america allows the first such transfer of assets, then it means minijustice they are sure that there is no way to appeal such a decision. well, they are obviously so sure that if this decision is appealed that they have indisputable evidence for the court that these are legally illegal assets or assets that

were illegally not in the american jurisdiction that is, otherwise they would not have made such a decision uh, because it is extremely clear that the ministry of justice is absolutely not interested in covering up here with russian oligarchs. also, i would like to talk to you about the economic situation in the united states itself, because the mass media uh- they throw up such information devices about the probable default of the united states on the external e-e on the external shores and they actually write about the fact that already in june the united states can announce a default e the reason is that the hmm government has reached the ceiling of the national debt, but even the republicans and democrats cannot now agree on exceeding this limit, on raising it, on the stage of raising this limit, and in

fact, what is the situation now that analysts are predicting how it will all unfold now, or after all they will reach an agreement , they will simply revise the limits, and the situation is currently not forecast, unfortunately , regarding the debt itself, i will simply explain to ukrainian tv viewers that the state debt is the severe debt, which is what it is called in the united states. it has existed for more than 200 years and there was no such time for 200 years when there was no debt. well, he was small, he was big, he was in a plus , he was menstruating, everything was increasing, but he was always there, where does the debt come from, because the budget deficit of the united states usually exists , that is, the budget as a rule deficient in recent times, if we look at the recent history of the last 50 years. let 's say that there was, it seems, the only such period when there was

a surplus budget during the administration of the president of the client's second term, and then there was a professional budget and it decreased gunpowder a-and let's say for all the republic of presidents er the rule is growing why do i think that they always propose to reduce taxes on the wealthy poorer americans on large corporations that is why the amount of money that uh that needs the budget that needs the expenses of the state budget takes money in debt debt has never been a problem for the united states explain why because the united states how they borrow money treasury department it issues applications and the sovereign window sells so that's why there are such money that is borrowed, but it pays very good interest to these applications and therefore their owners to them this

is a very good opportunity to earn money if there is nowhere to invest money, they invest money in these american applications, by the way, the very pension funds of the united states are bought government operations because thanks to this they increase the amount of money they can then pay out in the form of a pension and the united states has always paid this and that interest very neatly, that is, they serviced their debt very neatly, that is why the official papers of the publication, they are considered the best securities in the world, and well, for example, let's say that during the trump administration , the debt of the previous administration was increased by 40% in four years. i.e. a lot, a lot of money, the trump administration borrowed money, and for the congress, there is legislation, which congress

, on the one hand, approves the budget, because no administration, the executive power, it cannot spend money even on the provisions of the congress, that is, the congress budget of expenditures of the budget and approves the receipts of the budget, and there are only two types of receipts from taxes, that is, customs duties. well, let's say that of all taxes, it is possible to include here customs duties and borrowed money, if there are not enough taxes to fill the budget, and therefore the congress with on the one hand, he approves taxes, on the other hand, he approves the debt limit, this ceiling is how much the state can take for our viewers, just because you mentioned trump in the 18th year , it was already at the end of the year. i remember that the american experts said that there is nothing wrong with this, and in principle , in a few weeks, it seems that this situation has been resolved, you stay with us, i just drew

the attention of our viewers that the airborne alarm sounded at once in two regions, and in the regions that is in zaporizhzhia, we reported about we are waiting for the exit from there and the details from the authorities on the ground and also from the dnipropetrovsk region, too . the repulse of the air alarm, but there is a risk of artillery shelling in nikopol and the nikopol territorial community, i will remind igor e-e eisenberg professor of new york university together with igor, i want to ask you finally about the article that appeared in the new york times called vladimir putin is the most dangerous fool in the world, it was written by its columnist and three-time laureate of the police award, thomas friedman. and here is an interesting thing he says there that putin actually did not have a plan when starting this war, there would have been only plan a to quickly capture kyiv and put his own man, but there would have been no plan for friedman to think that if this

special military operation, what is it called in the kremlin had a name, then it would be called save my face, that is, putin is now trying to save his face. what is your opinion on this? so we will restore communication with new york, there are technical problems, as i already said , there was an air alarm. we monitored it in dnipropetrovsk and zaporizhzhia regions. but the air alert still continues in chernihiv and sumy regions. igor reisenberg, a professor at new york university, was with us on the air.

in the direction of the enemy could not resist the onslaught of the ukrainian defenders and retreated to a distance of 2 km. this was reported by the commander of the ground forces oleksandr syrskyi. the competent conduct of the defensive operation exhausted the prepared forces of the wagnerites and forced them to replace them with less well-prepared units of the regular troops of russia. they were defeated and retreated despite a significant concentration of troops and the loud statements of russian war criminals about their intentions to capture ohmut by may 9, the enemy was still unable to capture the ukrainian city of the defense forces reliably they hold the front and do not allow the enemy to advance. the battle for bakhmut continues, every defeat of russia on the battlefield brings ukraine even more weapons from its partners, while the morale among the occupiers is getting worse and worse, which also brings us closer to victory, said the adviser to the head of the president's office, mykhailo podolyak. in this way, any defeat, even a small one, two kilometers is a long distance in bakhmut, and these 2 km in bakhmut, they absolutely definitely drive them into additional panic today, the

more panic in russia, the faster the war will end on the right trajectory, every defeat of russia on the battlefield brings the ukrainians more weapons from their partners, while the morale among the customers is getting worse and worse, which also brings us closer to victory actually. with their equipment and contribute to new arrivals of weapons. for good luck, the guys keep trophy ammunition t-72 ural appeared with the guys after the last counteroffensive, they are leaving. that the russians were draining fuel and throwing their equipment, the tank needed of minimal repair, now the machine mows down russian soldiers every day and has already turned an enemy multi-valve armored car into scrap metal , she reported that the guys are there for you, as they say, the trophy immediately
