9:30 am
[000:00:00;00] this is our internal affairs. who is our minister of defense? of course, western partners and eastern partners will work with the official who heads this or that ministry. rustam is fluent in english. he studied in the u.s. he has a western education hmm, so i don't see any problems with this, and i repeat again that he is a good negotiator. i think he will quickly establish, including personal contact, because it is very important such interpersonal relations when one minister can just call directly beckoning some protocols to the minister there from another country. but i am sure that mr. varshikov, well, he will pass the matter normally. he will share some of his own feelings or observations about these or other countries, and well
9:31 am
, rustamesh, there will be very little time to completely immerse yourself in these matters, but he knows the subject, so i think he will be able to do it in such a short period of time, because you know how mr. reznikov treated the candidacy of my son, well, it’s unknown, it’s better to ask him, but i’ll remind you that he is submitting a candidacy supreme commander-in-chief, i do not think that the current minister of defense will in any way question the decision of the president. if we talk about the information that mr. reznikov may be appointed to his great britain, he himself is able to refute such rumors . deputies. perhaps you have some confirmation that he is indeed delegated to the post of ambassador. the verkhovna rada does not have
9:32 am
any personnel powers regarding the appointment ambassadors. therefore , it can be discussed only in such purely theoretical matters, whether it is true or not. again, he appoints the words of the president of ukraine by decree. kosim will agree and he is quite well received by great britain, so i think that he would be effective there. but again, this is the prerogative of the appointment by the president . well, that's how mr. varshikov makes the decision yes or no. but i think that he would be a good service. i will remind you that now there is no glory in great britain, mrs. evgeniy, that is, despite the corruption scandals surrounding the figure of mr. resnikov, do you think that such an appointment would be appropriate? do you understand the scandals if they have a basis, er , some er, well, in real life, in the documents and the involvement of mr. resnikov, he
9:33 am
wanted to get rich on something a-and he is so specific that uh-uh it should have a continuation from the side i don’t know of any suspicions or investigations by law enforcement bodies at the moment as far as i know there are no uh-uh such processes there are uh suspicions that were raised uh there by the former the deputy of the ministry of defense who was responsible for certain processes, but there is some connection that the singers got rich for something. well, as far as i know, there are none. if we talk about the work of the verkhovna rada this week, what changes are still planned because david arkhamia said that more personnel issues are under consideration during the week, there will be no one except the minister of defense of the country, but the ukrainian mass media are writing about the probable appointment of , for example, the minister of culture and information policy. and about this state property fund.
9:34 am
the council is the work of only one department. let's say that by voting for the new head of the ministry of defense, the verkhovna rada will obviously not make any other personnel decisions during the upcoming meetings, but this does not mean that personnel decisions will not be made at the next ones, so uh, still in september uh there may be other appointments, in particular , there really hasn't been a head of the ministry of culture for probably more than a month. yes, it is important that we appoint a full-fledged minister because we are entering the budget process. this is a very responsible period. i am from humanitarian the committee from the profile committee for our committee is also interested in the appointment of ministers. is mrs. minister, indeed, mrs. yulia fediv is considered as a probable candidate, and we will definitely talk to her more and we will listen to the program in the committee. but again well, it obviously won't happen this week regarding other appointments of the state property fund, uh, if
9:35 am
it's more true, even when rostem will take over the work of the ministry of defense, then it is really necessary to appoint a new head of the state property fund , and this is already a question, again, not this week and for the next meetings , yevgenia , the names you mentioned. we mentioned these people in particular in the briefs, they already agreed to this position, well, yulia fediv. i haven't talked to you personally, so i can't give any confirmation here. but again, i'll remind you that, for example, if there was a rotation . yes, mrs. pischanska, then she already puts forward the candidacy for the head of the antimonopoly president, because here there is such a shared personnel responsibility, because the fund
9:36 am
state property is the prime minister, it is brought in by the proposal of the majority , so it plays the role of a coalition, so there are many such chains and many stages . it was right to point out that next year there are a lot of plans for large-scale privatization of objects, and in fact rustam has done a lot, including in working with the verkhovna rada regarding the legislative basis there and that all these companies that exist there simply exist on paper with one as a director, uh, liquidate them, deal only with really normal, living enterprises and what should be in state ownership , strategic and ukrzaliznytsia, and so on, it will all be in state property, but in general, uh, well, the state is not a very effective owner if we are talking about the business is so-so good , in fact, the program just needs to be implemented in the next leader or leader, i thank you about the changes in
9:37 am
the ukrainian government, i spoke with the people 's deputy of ukraine from the servant of the people faction , yevgenia kravchuk, blessings, freedom of the morning thank you svoboda ranok - you are watching us on the svoboda radio channel on youtube and also on the espresso tv channel my name is katya nekreche and further in this stream we talk about such topics in custody for two months valery kolomoisky is currently in the detention center of the sbu the oligarch refused to post bail in more than 500 million hryvnias, businessmen are suspected of fraud and money laundering, what is the essence of the case? and why did kolomoiskyi go on trial right now, let's discuss the continuation of the grain agreement, the exchange of prisoners between russia and ukraine
9:38 am
and peace talks on the territory of turkey, russian president putin and turkish erdogan should talk about it already today in sochi we talk every weekday morning from 9:00 a.m. here on youtube on radio svoboda and on the espresso tv channel, stay with us next , we will talk about the kolomoiskyi case , they will not file an appeal, they promise to file an appeal . this was reported to the lawyer of the oligarch igor kolomoiskyi after the court decision, during which a preventive measure was chosen for the businessman and he was chosen in the form of detention for two months, or the alternative is to make a bail in the form of more than 500 million uah. the court session in the case of the oligarch was closed without video cameras at the insistence of kolomoisky himself, before that the law enforcement officers handed him suspicion under two articles of the criminal code that
9:39 am
article 190 fraud and article 209 legalization or laundering of property obtained by crime, the investigation believes that during 13-20 years ihor kolomoiskyi legalized more than half a billion hryvnias and took them abroad using the infrastructure of controlled banking institutions. in kolomoiskyi's house as part of the investigation of the fraud in ukrnafta, then the top management of these two companies were informed about the suspicion about kolomoiskyi himself at that time i will also remind you that ihor kolomoiskyi is a ukrainian political oligarch and former co-founder of the privat group. in march of the 21st year , the united states imposed visa sanctions against kolomoiskyi as the head of the dnipropetrovsk region for a long time until the 15th year. involved in corrupt actions that undermined the rule of law and the faith of the ukrainian public in democratic institutions and public processes, including the use of his political influence and
9:40 am
power for personal gain in detail now we will analyze this case, we were joined by olena shcherban, the head of the legal department of the public organization, the anti-corruption center. i welcome you to our broadcast. good day. the first question, in your opinion, is the kolomoiskyi case a political case or not? precisely the problems with the society understanding because these official messages from law enforcement agencies do not contain any details, no details of the accusations, it is only about some general things like you already they said about fraud and further money laundering, but in what exactly was the scheme, what exactly were the funds in question and how exactly was kolomoisky's involvement proven today, it is actually behind closed doors, we expected that the details, as usual
9:41 am
, usually happen in high-profile criminal proceedings, will become known during trial, but the shevchenkiv court of the city of kyiv closed the trial of the preventive measure against kolomoi , despite the fact that the closing is actually justified. some personal medical data and so on, the meeting is usually closed partially, but not completely, therefore, to date, the details of this indictment are unknown, it is not known about the evidence, what is the basis for it, and it looks like the closing of this meeting was beneficial to all parties, both the prosecutor's office, which agreed, and the defense side, the side of the oligarch himself who actually asked for a closed investigation of this case, uh, against this background, the case really raises more questions than answers, and uh , the facts that cause particular concern
9:42 am
in fact, these stories were preceded in the first place at the beginning of last week, in particular, there was a very active discussion of the initiative of the president and the office of the president to equate corruption with treason, which would actually result in the transfer of corruption and all economic investigations to the security service during the period of martial law and actually such an initiative had such a negative assessment because it became clear that the national anti-corruption bureau specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office today has exclusive jurisdiction over cases the very top of corruption. and of course, let's say, taking cases from these bodies could have serious negative consequences. it was also known that this initiative was led in particular by oleg tatarova in the office of the president. i will remind you that at one time his case was one of those that were illegally was transferred from the nabu
9:43 am
to the security service, where it was successfully closed. well, this is also one of the reasons why the initiative caused such criticism , so there are suspicions that the background of that initiative was to somehow confirm the expediency of which transfer of the case took place a similar suspicion involved the active security service of ukraine and, accordingly, it is this case that the government will somehow try to substantiate its own story before handing over the cases; moreover, literally yesterday , journalist yurii butusov reported that according to his information , the national anti-corruption bureau was preparing an ep against kolomoisky, as well as suspicions in cases related to abuses of there were serious accusations against privatbank, and obviously , well, this may be similar, and the story is about such a game to get ahead of the game, so try to hide kolomoisky in some way.
9:44 am
the investigation of the national anti-corruption bureau. well, all of this in the aggregate actually casts such serious doubts on this case, on its validity, expediency, especially since, as i already said, the court proceedings were closed , questions arose that more after you told these details, if you have them there are things that can be said about the society that reads the headlines there, the news, in your opinion , what happened is the detention. well , maybe it coincides with the fact that zelenskyi does not directly name kolomoiskyi ihor valeriyovych and he talks so indirectly about the cleanup and separately, hmm, if we talk , for example, about the suspicion of corruption there for 14-15 years, it was like how long ago, why exactly now are these cases coming to the surface
9:45 am
it really takes so many years and the investigation is so complicated, are there really signs that for some reason it is necessary to talk about it now, here is another important fact, i will remind you that at the beginning you thought about the searches that took place in kolomoiskyi at the beginning of this year, and it really happened then in fact, in the official reports of law enforcement agencies about the abuse of e-e for 40 billion hryvnias, but we see that mr. kolomoisky has been charged there with more than 500 million hryvnias, that is, the amount is much smaller, and today no one doubts that he has the ability has the opportunity to post bail and not actually be in the pretrial detention center, but it looks like they are officially announcing that the bail will not be posted, er, this means that, for some reason , the oligarch wants to stay in the pretrial detention center for this
9:46 am
period, of course, it will be clear in the future or there will be some active actions while he is in the pre-trial detention center on the part of the national corruption bureau. but it is really very, very suspicious that this initiative arose . it is now, and in fact, just in the period when , again, according to the media report, it is nabu was preparing quite serious accusations against mr. kolomoiskyi olena a , do you understand as a citizen of which country mr. kolomoiskyi is being considered? of course, there is a question here, because there was information that he was allegedly stripped of his ukrainian citizenship, and
9:47 am
again, as of today , kolomoiskyi's citizenship has been established for at least two more countries, in fact, there may be more, and there is talk of israeli citizenship and cyprus but again here it is necessary to understand that even if he really has the citizenship of other countries, if the crime was committed on the territory of ukraine, and actually including at least partially, then of course he can be brought to justice and ukrainian courts, but here it is also important to understand the story that kolomoiskyi is being investigated in the united states of america, of course, that at some point he may receive certain suspicions in these countries, so in the united states, for example , and then of course the question of a certain dispute of jurisdiction will arise, since in ukraine there are no certain procedures by the united states regarding
9:48 am
the extradition of persons there, and therefore it can be resolved in some manual mode, and obviously such a situation can arise that it will be more profitable for all zov in ukraine to stay in kolomoiskyi than for example, to have the prospect of being extradited to the united states, where it will be much more difficult for him to avoid responsibility. i thank you for connecting and sharing your thoughts, and we will follow kolomoisky's case around olena shcherba, head of the legal department of a public organization, the anti-corruption center, there were guests freedom in the morning , we discussed changes in the ukrainian government, in particular in the ministry of defense, it is currently known that mr. reznikov has published a statement on his own facebook and that he is submitting to resignation, well, actually, it is stated that way in order to implement the decision of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, he submitted to the verkhovna rada of ukraine a resignation letter to the report, we are ready to hold the line, i quoted this post , i will remind you. if you have just connected to our
9:49 am
broadcast, we previously talked in detail about changes in the government and in particular about the probable new head of rostem umerov therefore, be sure to save this video and watch it again well, next we will talk about the probable planned meeting between putin and erdoğan in russian juice today it is planned, the russian and turkish presidents are to meet in the afternoon, kremlin spokesman dmitri peskov announced this earlier - it is also known that tusocherdoğan is to give a press conference in istanbul before his departure, which is dedicated to this visit and the topic of the negotiations grain the day before, cardigan's chief adviser on foreign affairs of politics and security of the ak , does killich think in an interview with the ahbr tv channel , he said that turkey will try to return moscow to the grain agreement with which it officially i will remind you that it came out in july of this year and the same thing. last week, the minister of foreign affairs of turkey also spoke during a visit to moscow. he said that the un proposed a new package of proposals for the restoration of the black sea
9:50 am
initiative and that russia's demands for the uninterrupted export of its grain and fertilizers are very important russian the state news agency, citing its sources among the turkish participants in the negotiations, writes that ankara has been negotiating with the west regarding the reconnection of the russian and agricultural bank to the swift system - this is one of the requirements of russia for the renewal of the agreement, at the same time, the news reports that the package of proposals proposed by the un does not mean the return of russia to the grain initiative in ukraine, but they say that the meeting between putin and erdogan is almost the last chance for the restoration of ukrainian export of ukrainian grain through the black sea, well at least this is what the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, told unian . at the same time, the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine made an official statement and warned about the inadmissibility of grain exports to russia via the black sea without resuming the export of ukrainian grain from ukrainian ports will deal a serious blow to international obligations and
9:51 am
international law and will encourage moscow to further aggressive actions , the statement of the ministry of foreign affairs says. in addition, putin and erdogan will also talk about the transportation of russian gas to europe through turkey, as well as the war in syria and ukraine, and on the eve of the meeting between putin and erdogan, russian troops on the second day the south of odesa is constantly being attacked by drones of the shahed type, there are hits. this is reported by the head of the odesa regional military administration , oleg kipr. agricultural machinery, machinery and equipment of industrial enterprises were damaged in warehouses and production buildings . in addition , civilian objects caught fire due to the fall of drone fragments in several settlements of the izmayiv district air defense forces shot down 17 drones over odeshchya , the air forces say that in addition to the clothes on the shaheds, they also attacked
9:52 am
the dnipropetrovsk region that night, in total they released 32 drones shot down 23 of them about the negotiations on the meeting between cherdogan and putin, let's talk more ruslan osypenko, an international expert, joined our broadcast i congratulate you, mr. ruslan , thank you for joining, the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, called fartugan the only person in the world who can return russia to the grain agreement on your opinion, this attempt, this result of this meeting in sochi will be crowned with success for the restoration of the grain corridor for ukraine , any result of this meeting will be successful because the first option if russia returns to the grain agreement will be success, in principle, i doubt that they will return. and if they do not return, then there will be disagreements between turkey and russia, and this is also to our advantage, because russia relies on turkey in many ways , parallel import, export of its
9:53 am
goods, import of other goods, communication there, well, on many issues and between them, contradictions will grow, so it also suits us, and for russia, turkey , india and the chinese are three such pillars that russia still clings to and continues this war, and why did the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine then warn from the fact that this agreement did not take place without exporting ukrainian grain because the combination was proposed to export russian grain without ukraine , that is, not the russian- ukrainian wheat pool, but only russian wheat, but nothing will work there because the russians offer several million tons were exported there, and most of the wheat went through ukraine, 33 million tons there, 30 33 million tons ago, the option that was developed there by russia together with some
9:54 am
countries of the middle east, it won’t go , it doesn’t work, and that’s why for turkey it is non-profit, it will not give an opportunity to make money from this and stabilize the social and political situation inside turkey, to strengthen the economy there, so turkey will try to push the option of russia's return, and whether it will succeed or not. well, we'll see. libya is there and the caucasus will be among these issues, these are all strong levers with which erdogan enters negotiations with russia, he has room to put pressure on russia, but for russia it is also a matter of principle. people that they can also put pressure on the international community, that's why i say that the options can be both positive and negative , but both are suitable for ukraine. if we talk about the list of demands, it is so obvious from the fact that it sounds publicly, it is considerable, and on the other hand, how do such negotiations take place
9:55 am
can the parties agree on some of these main arguments, main demands and if we talk about the main demands, what are they in turkey, what are they in russia well, in turkey , there is definitely a demand for russia to return to this agreement and that the ships would calmly come in and take out the grain, and turkey there with a discount of 20-30% received from each ton there, from each ton, its profits, processed this grain and then supplied flour there all over the world , up to the asia-pacific region. but russia is disrupting this plan e- turkey has many levers of pressure on russia , as we said before , so they will all be used. under the international administration where turkey wanted to play a key, key role there, for example, the situation in the black sea
9:56 am
basin in general, because ukraine, if it is not, well, virtual, let’s say so, if it does not get to the country, this grain agreement will not be renewed with it ukraine can stop trade in the black sea with russian ships, that's why we demonstrated that we have such an opportunity . that's why it's dangerous that the black sea can turn into such an arena when trade there stops altogether and oil goes there international markets and oil products and many other things are exported and imported, so it is definitely not profitable for erdoğan , who is distracted, and they will also take this into account , so there are many nuances that will be discussed , well, the discussion of russia's conditions is unacceptable, in my opinion, because in fact russia wants to connect the fsb to full funding to swift worked so that it would be possible to finance the agency of the european they want to restore
9:57 am
the work of enterprises that produce fertilizers in europe, this is actually to cancel the sanctions that were are imposed on them and give them the opportunity to earn, plus they want to restore access to their ports there to maximum insurance, that is, in fact, all those sanctions packages that the europeans accepted, they want to cancel the russians in one fell swoop. do you think such a scenario is likely or not, and whether the result will be known publicly, we will already know publicly regarding the outcome of the negotiations today or tomorrow morning, i think that there will be no result. maybe there will be some partial success, but there will be no full-fledged return of russia to the agreement, because based on the list of demands, what are they they put forward in fact restore everything to us, that means even freezing the assets that we have in europe, unfreeze the assets, well , this is unacceptable, it is actually the lifting of sanctions from russia only because it returned to the agreement. that erdogan allegedly intends to again propose
9:58 am
peace talks between the countries on the territory of turkey. what do you think, well, will this really be discussed, or is this format of negotiations interesting to russia? well, i do not rule out that during these talks in sochi, putin may convey some conditions for the approach through erdoğan as a proxy are not for ukraine because he considers it unacceptable to talk with ukraine, he believes that the west is behind ukraine, it is necessary to talk with the west, so some messages i think through erdoğan he will pass on so that bardagan will pass on to the united states there states and european leaders well, it is all the more known that after this meeting redugan is supposed to go to the g20 itself and then to new york to take part in the 78th un general assembly, that is, maybe already there like you you say somewhere and he will pass on this information, these are putin's demands, and when can there be a result of these negotiations, you say, not today, not tomorrow , we have to wait for erdogan's visit further to the west
9:59 am
, we will find out the details somewhere later, uh, there , closer to the middle of september, they will not immediately tell about these details because well, many people will not be satisfied and russia will not be satisfied with the victories and turkey will not get everything that she wanted, so we will remove the details in such portions, you know, at the summit there they discussed, for example, at the g20 or at the un general assembly, some facts surfaced there, so we can follow up then. thank you for joining the international expert ruslan osypenko, or as a guest freedom of the morning and we talked about the visitor, a rebuke to putin, this is freedom of the morning, we are with you every weekday from 9:00 a.m. my name is katya nekrecha my colleagues and i are working for you so that in the morning you are up to date with the events, be sure to subscribe to the radio freedom channel, set your preferences, have a safe and
10:00 am
calm day, see you , 558 days of full-scale war between russia and ukraine continues, for your attention, news on espresso in angelika's studio for a season in kyiv, they once again informed about the mining of all schools and colleges, the police and rescuers are taking the necessary measures, the decisions on the evacuation of children are made by the management of educational institutions and law enforcement officers, the city military administration noted that on september 1 , they also reported about the mining of all the capital's schools, but after checking the information has not been confirmed in odesa, there has been an out-of-hours situation on the railway, because of this
