part of russian oppositionists abroad, regarding a certain number of people, this is known, it is not a secret, especially since drones have already flown over the house of ilya ponomarev in the kyiv region, it is difficult for me to say anything about the technical side, it is possible that the kyiv region is more difficult to cover by means of air defense, kyiv yes, but to prevent attacks on the kyiv region, the means may not be enough, and the danger is higher there, but ponomarov’s address was not a secret, drones, shaheds or gran-2, as they are called, had already flown there, so it is not news, there is something else: as far as i understand, he came to kyiv, spent the night at home, they could have informed some agency that he was in the house, i know that he was in america, and the drone is sent when they want a specific person to kill, not to destroy the building, so they receive some operative information from some agency, maybe in kyiv, ilya ponomaryev is writing to me just now, so i think that, most likely, there will be such attempts in the future, where possible at the... station with with the help of drones, and

somewhere there will be attempts to kill some people they will send, what is important here, it would seem, why do you want to kill him, what is the danger of him or the same ones? this is a completely wrong assessment, they do not assess from the point of view of specific dangers arising from a political leader, they need to demonstrate to everyone that this is not what you will do, support ukraine, promote russian connections, oppose putin as his enemies, spread information about what... moscow produces in ukraine and not only, it needs to be demonstrated, this is the main goal, not a specific danger from individual person in the same way , there was no danger from navalny, especially when he was in prison, but he had to be killed, there it was connected with the exchange, there you still need to demonstrate to everyone what will happen to you if you engage in any activity at any level against the regime in moscow. well, ukraine is the enemy, they are killing ukraine. it's simple, but the russian opposition is

the same enemies and the same targets, very important conclusions need to be drawn from this, therefore the defense of ukraine, as i often say among my fellow russian oppositionists, this is the redoubt before your death, it is necessary to defend ukraine, in addition to your ideological positions against the war, against putin, also because you will be next, this is very important to understand, therefore the country for the russian opposition, for everyone, who is against putin, the opportunity is for... stu is an opportunity to postpone his death. failure to understand this leads to very sad attempts to save some of the russian opposition in the game imposed by the kremlin, that it is impossible to support the military resistance of the russians to sides of ukraine, because it is vlasivshchyna, treason to the motherland. it's a very misleading, very criminal reference, and people who take it will be recruited sooner or later, it's very important to understand that. list parameters, mark and to whom specifically on yours. opinion, they wanted

to demonstrate something with this attempt, yes, because strange murders happen in ukraine, the strange murder of iryna farion, yes, no one took responsibility, there is a suspect, but the question of motives is the key story, yes, and when do those or other assassinations, political assassinations, someone has to take responsibility for this one responsibility, or the second option, perhaps, indeed, if this is the work of the kremlin, well then ... they can simply prepare some broader scenario, that is, cascading deaths and, accordingly , then try to reformat the same, i don’t know, public discourse, or simply adjust it in this way, they have always been engaged in this, correcting the consequences of the physical removal of some public elements that interfere and create problems for the discourse, this is part of this program, this work of ipso and the rest, many do not understands the connection of these things, for example,

the discourse that opposes the negotiation process as such in ukraine, because they have their own considerations, this is a right-wing discourse mainly, but not only, it consists in the fact that one cannot stop at binding terms of agreements, to the ultimatums that moscow puts forward, it is now necessary to create the most comfortable situation so that ukraine does not have this as a defining thesis in public opinion, that is, if you, for example, put a lot of pressure on the radicals, conditionally calling them that... from the side moscow, then this public opinion will be able to be swayed in the right direction. moscow needs negotiations, a ceasefire, a truce, etc., because there are conditions, both external and internal. we do not fully understand the internal ones. perhaps moscow's reserves for the continuation of the war are running out, and it is increasingly difficult to fight further. for many reasons , the number of people who want to go to war has decreased. industry, defense, it is not known how it works. all this is a mystery. but what nabibulina declares, the chairman of the central bank already gives a reason

to say that there is a lack of money for the war, there is external factors, they consist in the fact that moscow cannot remain under the sanctions and pressure that is building up for too long. besides, moscow. obeying these factors, seeks quick negotiations, who is against negotiations in ukraine, it is important, in ukraine it is the right, it is nationally oriented forces, i.e. the majority, some effect is needed so that the influence of these forces, their radical position has less influence on public opinion. i also believe that negotiations now on the terms put forward by moscow are absolutely unacceptable for ukraine, because they will not end the war, at best they will postpone it, at worst they will prolong it. that's all mine. because if we agree to moscow's conditions, we can talk about this in more detail, then this means not just a concession, but programming and seducing the aggressor to take new actions to occupy the territories and end the sovereignty of ukraine, a signal will be sent to moscow that this is possible, that it works, and from this point of view it is necessary,

of course, that people like farion, although i do not think that she was too influential, probably had detractors inside ukraine as well, she the army cursed, especially in russian... i was given 11, 11 years for lawyer feigin, i was already convicted in the first instance, it has been affecting for several weeks, they do not issue the motivational part of the sentence to my lawyer, it will be very interesting to read it, there are three episodes, it seems that there were also three interviews where i said that there was a genocide in buch, ukrainians were killed by the russian military, and i was convicted for that, so i am on this list, but i am protected by the french police, and my safety

is ensured in this way, no i don't know if a drone can fly to france, but in terms of security, yes, i'm on that list, but there are a lot of people on it, i'm not the only one. it would be too presumptuous to assume that they had chosen me as their only target. again, i repeat, they do not evaluate the efficiency by the degree of significance, how much a person influences the russian audience or not, although i have a large channel, they still know me in russia for many years. no, this is still a necessary demonstration, even the attack on ponomaryov's house is also a demonstration for the rest. get scared, kneel down and don't disturb, let us do what we want and generally with fly... this is possible only remotely at the level of drones, although contract killings are also possible, there are specifics here, it is a matter for the ukrainian special services, how they work with this, they probably have secrets about

this, if this is really the case, then it means that means that there is a revitalization, that is , the activation of such things indicates some other parallel processes, you very correctly said that the key fact... is the kremlin's interest in getting what it wants, yes, in particular, in a diplomatic way, but if we talk about parameters, the first parameter, yes, the kremlin immediately announced the story that it does not want and will not communicate with our government, which it considers illegitimate, well whose cow mooed, so to speak, yes, it is clearly not kremlin, but this is one point , the second point, the situation in the states, we understand, it will be hot in the states, and the kremlin hoped that... trump will take power from biden and, accordingly, after november , the kremlin scenario can work in one direction, that is, with the ultimate imposition on ukraine of that , so to speak, the kremlin will want to and will agree on the matter, perhaps with the trump administration, well, i

am oversimplifying it, but the situation is getting complicated for the kremlin and the autumn scenario, so to speak, can be postponed in a certain so-called long drawer, and therefore they... are counting on what, on in the spring, that is, the energy scenario, shahedis, missiles and a complex of measures, yes, and after there will be, as they say, immeasurable suffering of the ukrainian people, as my american friends formulate it, then the kremlin would like, so to speak, to i don't know there is istanbul-3 or abu dhabi 5, or some other platform there, as you see it, i believe that in the fall... we will not see direct negotiations or any direct actions that will contribute to this. by direct action i mean action by the united states. the first and most important factor - there is no certainty as to who exactly will rule the country, will it be the same democrats, their line or trump? it is quite

obvious that this is possible, even diametrically opposed positions, because uncertainty creates the unknown of the settlement plan, on what will the parties agree to, i mean democrats or trump? malegas, if she becomes a candidate and wins the election, will of course continue biden's line, this is a moderate line, pushing for negotiations with ukraine, but at the same time with a firm position to leave. ukraine, providing it with military and financial assistance, etc., without making it a condition, assistance in exchange for participation in negotiations. trump has it, i mean what he himself has said. i'm going to talk about mike pompeo's plan separately now, but still, what he's saying and what we're hearing from him, or senator vance, and some others, up to his son, can rather be interpreted so that he is ready to negotiate with putin himself, no formats are needed, neither swiss nor in gin. saudi formats, nor the chinese, and why, he says: i will meet with putin and

come to an agreement, that is, any shuttle missions of orbán and others, this is all the quality of actions that serve the position of trump, which are intended to involve him in some kind of peace process, some kind of format, istanbul, for example, he does not need it, he says: i will personally agree with putin, and why should they not agree, we heard the parameters of the plan closest to trump, for which he does not refuse help to ukraine, but stop. it depends on the readiness of ukraine to participate in peace negotiations, that is, we will help militarily, but ukraine must agree to peace negotiations, whether it is a parallel or a substitute process, but it is quite certain. i want to say that it cannot happen before january 20, because trump will be inaugurated if he wins the election only on january 20 , 2025, and then, closer to the spring, he will hold meetings with putin and will determine something. they can agree or not in principle. all the rest of the arguments that the ukrainian government is not

recognized because after may 20 president zelenskyi is not legitimate, all this is done by moscow through ipso in order to lower, dump the government in ukraine, but no more, realizing that in fact this is not an argument, after all, they will talk with the authorities in kyiv, of course, they will conduct negotiations, if they do start, as regards all these formats, both the swiss one on the peace formula and the previous one istanbul and the initiative of saudi arabia, which took place on august 5, 2023, and the next one is planned, and the chinese initiative on a peace conference with the mandatory participation of russia, it seems to me that this is just a smoke screen, really, it is still a game played by both sides, and the usa is playing, and kyiv is playing, somewhere there it says, well, we are ready for negotiations, understanding that in this format, in which moscow puts forward preconditions, and putin put forward his three important points before the summit in switzerland previous ones conditions that he believes should be implemented regardless of the start

of negotiations, the lifting of sanctions, the non-aligned status of ukraine and the liberation of the unoccupied territories of four regions, donetsk, luhansk, zaporizhzhya and kherson. these are unacceptable preconditions. theoretically, moscow can somehow not put forward these conditions, enter the negotiation process without these preliminary conditions. what does moscow demand, it needs a ceasefire, it needs preambles to a ceasefire, because this is different, it is... not just a ceasefire, a ceasefire always has guarantors, the parties can cease fire, but but the guarantors should facilitate a truce, at least a temporary one, then negotiate directly about the details of some agreements, agreements, etc. currently, i do not see any conditions for solving this problem. kyiv and moscow simply cannot meet somewhere without mediators, and such a mediator is not ready. there is no one in the us, and erdogan has already lost his position as a mediator whom kyiv trusts. first of all, with... the usa and the west do not see erdogan as such an effective mediator, since he

would get too close to moscow, we see that, that's why erdoğan's platform is unlikely to be effective, in relation to china, it is more tempting, because china has an important trump card, in relation to moscow, the ability to influence it and attract it to negotiations, to force it to participate, this is a format that china itself will approve, but it faces the problem of the us is not going to give china such trump cards. they do not want china to act in this conflict on the territory of europe as a peacemaker, mediator, guarantor, someone else there, strengthening its international authority, like, now china decides when start and stop wars, the usa will never agree to that, never. trump is generally anti-chinese, and even the current biden administration continues, following obama, to call china not a superpower, but a regional power in southwest asia. and moreover, does not recognize his claims to some kind of binary world, bipolar, in

which there is washington and beijing, so the usa will not agree to this. in my opinion, there is a very high probability that negotiations will begin precisely from the meeting, if trump wins, trump and putin. if trump doesn't win, great probably, some quadrangle will be formed: usa, china, russia, ukraine. such a quadrangle could occur if kamala garis comes to power and... loses the election, then yes, this configuration has a better chance, but there is no way it will happen before spring. well, in any case, mark, we understand that putin announced those conditions for a reason. which are unacceptable by definition, no matter how you treat putin, well, he is not a clinical idiot, and he is quite experienced in this, that is, he could not voice certain parameters, in particular, when we talk about the annexation of the not-yet-captured ukrainian territories, and considering the aviation component of the f-16, we understand that putin's plan, well , even for his generals, is unrealistic, but

he went for it, and here we can assume that certain environments are possible.. . i don’t know what mandate abramovich had for istanbul, yes, but he represented someone, well , in this way, putin wants to cut off some alternative to his position, ideas, respectively, pompeo’s plan, we understand that this is good, but also there is no stamp on it plan for the name of president donald trump, because it is not a fact that he will become president, but always in any case trump can say, well, it is a fantasy... pompeo, he is a cool dude, i respect him, we drank 4 liters of whiskey, but this is not my idea, and accordingly, here we may also have unpleasant surprises, yes, because trump, the guy is also experienced, but his experience, well, it is not a fact that he will be good for us. as for pompeo, we promised to talk about it, yes, it's a pretty

effective plan, there's one caveat that can be very painful for ukrainian public opinion that ukraine... can lose part of the territory, i mean the plan that i printed from the wall street journal, about the rest, it is an ideal plan from the point of view of ukraine's sovereignty, it is nato membership and the rest things that are repeated, as in boris johnson, in his plan, which we also saw in the daily mail the day before, yes, to give up some part of the territory, but what exactly, four regions plus crimea, or only part of these four regions, it is a matter of negotiation a position which, pompeo implies, will be trump's position. on negotiations, namely on these parts. the trouble is that precisely the first part of the plan - the absolute sovereignty of ukraine - is unacceptable to moscow. these plans of both johnson and pompeo are unacceptable for moscow. they may be acceptable to trump, but moscow will never agree to a change in non-aligned status. so, presumably, in these three preliminary conditions, which putin mentioned before the summit in switzerland, provoking the summit in

switzerland to some sharp reactions, there are conditions for the withdrawal of parts of the armed forces from unoccupied areas. parts the territory of four oblasts, but perhaps he can concede this, here they can move the administrative border, perhaps. the condition of lifting the sanctions is important for moscow, because the sanctions are painful, painful, but still , they are sanctions imposed by third countries. ukrainian sanctions are not the most principled for moscow, but american, european, australian, canadian, japanese, and other countries, it is necessary for them to make this request, why kyiv, if it claims to have agreed on the previous conditions. should be concerned that these sanctions be lifted, that sanctions of third countries, but regarding the non-aligned status, i.e. preventing ukraine from joining nato, here moscow will never back down, but on the ground, on the ground, how are they going to return the territory, so to speak , so we also understand that this a symbolic story, well, because putin is with him,

it’s not for nothing that they voiced and, so to speak, introduced changes to the russian constitution, as well as... with non-aligned status or nato membership, well, we understand moscow’s position, so this is the whole fable about indivisibility of security and so on continent, but the story is about territories that need to be returned, how they could sell them, well, or they could not, and they will just stand there. indeed, the constitution of the russian federation, which included these new entities in its composition, provides, including the laws that will follow from it, that it is impossible to change. territorial integrity of russia, there is a criminal article, even for a call, i defended ulmi umerov in crimea under this article, in general, in no way can we talk about rejecting the territory of the russian federation, if they included them in their constitution, seized and included them, yes, they already occupied and included them, on the other hand, the

russian constitution is chewed paper in the toilet, no one will pay attention to the constitution, just apart from the constitution, putin has even more plans.. . are ambitious, he wants the whole of ukraine, not just four regions, and here he leaves a maneuver for himself, i assume that he can move somewhere, say that we keep the occupied territories for ourselves, this is a negotiating position, but for the unoccupied part we ready to bargain, what will be offered to us, and what is he offers, i wonder, what does he offer in return for all this, and in fact the only offer is that they will not advance on kyiv, try to advance on kyiv, especially after receiving these... planes by ukraine, according to bloomberg, yesterday maybe 20 planes of the first party, no one knows how many, not to mention the rest, you first capture that kyiv, of course, if the troops were stationed near kyiv. there were other negotiations, but this is not the case. how to determine this military balance that favors one side or the other? she is so that when the war continues, ukraine will definitely

lose it, or on the contrary, ukraine will resist? moscow will definitely lack the strength to hold the occupied territories, or is it able to accumulate resources to reach the regional centers, kharkiv, odesa and others? no one knows the answer, there is a military balance, and in the conditions of a military balance, the conditions must be mutually acceptable, not those imposed by one side, which moscow is trying to do and also uses other methods to push its position, because military methods they cannot achieve this, if they could achieve it, they would have already achieved it and would be standing in kyiv, but it is impossible to achieve it, so there is a big game going on here: who will increase the number of allies in their position, who will exhaust their capabilities faster, etc., in particular and the information game, all these ipso that are being tested, they are also for the purpose of... undermining the unity, monolithicity, self-confidence not only of ukraine, but also of the west. voices are heard: now is a favorable position: numa to arrange negotiations, finnish

the president declares this, others also, because of course, the war is draining the resources of europe, in particular, especially since everyone is in an exhausting wait for the result of the elections in america, europe is afraid of the arrival of trump, this is what the main powers, france, germany and others are afraid of, so that have a negative experience of interaction. during his presidency from 2016 to the 20th year. in this situation, there is no other recipe, no other way, except to do what you are doing, to keep fighting, not to accept unacceptable conditions, to hold on to the moment, when the situation does not improve in the right direction. if ukraine retreats now and agrees to some of putin's conditions, then it will be very difficult to play back. he will grab it and say: you yourself agreed, you yourself are ready to sacrifice something. kremlin, as a matter of ukraine's sovereignty, which involves

the possibility of non-aligned status in nato and other unions, such as the european union and others. the main question is what ukraine will be like, how those 80% of the territory controlled by official kyiv will emerge from this war, will they emerge from neutral status, which can be undermined by another new war. because no one covers you outside of nato. the network of agreements on guarantees that kyiv is currently signing for the post-war period may not work, but membership in nato will. we have already seen this. the baltic countries are an example of this status working, and this is the most fundamental issue, and it has not been resolved. thank you very much, mark, for this extremely important conversation on the tv channel. take care, god help you, i want to remind our tv viewers what is working for them now. a russian figure of the opposition, no emigration, a former deputy of the state duma, who received, according to the decision of the pseudo-court of the first instance, 13 years of

imprisonment for anti-kremlin agitation. thanks mark. thank you. well, the time of our program is over, stay with the espresso tv channel. my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of this day. take care of yourself and your loved ones. see you on air. see this week in the program judicial control with tetyana shustrova, kidnapping and illegal entrepreneurship, why judge bondariv received suspicion? in order to solve his business affairs, the judge ordered the kidnapping of his partner. but how do unscrupulous judges avoid qualification assessment? it is too sick for the meeting and the evaluation qualification, but for the administration of justice, in principle, it is suitable. congratulations, that's it. judicial control program, and as always we are talking about the main reform, the direction of which depends on our european prospects. how a new judicial power is being formed in ukraine, what tricks

are resorted to by unscrupulous servants of themis in an effort to avoid a qualification assessment, which will lead to a shameful dismissal, and who will play along with them in this? about all this today, but first traditionally, before the news. judge of the brover city district court. volodymyr serdynskyi allegedly forged documents and instead of going on a business trip took a cruise ship to the caribbean islands. the security service of ukraine informed him of the suspicion of forgery of documents and fraud. according to investigation materials, in the summer of 2023, he was able to illegally travel abroad under the guise of a business trip together with his roommate. for this, serdynskyi used a forged letter of invitation for participation in the conference on assistance to migrants, families with children and... orphans from ukraine to the eu. during martial law, the judge went on vacation on a cruise ship in the caribbean . for this purpose, the servant of themis is in collusion

with. forged an invitation to an alleged conference in austria. on the basis of this forgery, the court issued him a business trip abroad. this is not the first time that volodymyr serdynskyi has been caught by law enforcement officers. last year, the judge was bribed in the amount of $400. according to the judge's investigation received an unlawful benefit from a representative of one of the parties in a civil case for making a decision in its interests. he received part of the money in the amount of 1,000 dollars earlier. when the decision was made to extort evidence in the case during the receipt of the second part of the funds in the amount of 3 thousand dollars for the decision to collect the debt in favor of the plaintiff serdynskyi, detectives of nabu were hotly exposed. during the searches , $15,600 packed in different envelopes were seized from the judge. judge of the economic court of the dnipropetrovsk region eduard bonderev are suspected of the kidnapping of their business partner. according to the version of the investigation, the judge

started farming in 2017 that year, and since he is prohibited from doing so by law, he found a fake person, on whom a part of the business in the sumy region was registered. for the start of the business project, the person involved allocated more than uah 3 million. with these funds , the fictitious person purchased combine harvesters, trucks, tractors and other equipment in his name. most of the profit was received by the judge. over time, the enterprise expanded and money was invested in its development, including incl. and partner of the suspect, however, the judge began to feel less comfortable with his partner managing the company. at one point, he decided to remove him from the company, blackmailing him with a million dollar loan. however, the man did not want to leave his work without pay. they failed to agree on a peaceful exit from the business, and then, according to the investigation, the suspect ordered the kidnapping of the partner for $17. the man was to be deprived of his freedom and forced to sign the necessary documents for

the transition to law. ownership of farm property. state bureau of investigation publishes an excerpt from the conversation between the customer and the perpetrator of the crime: a place, yes, yes, to understand where to take him, in which direction, well, in order for me to do this, you understand that he must be stolen, yes, and somewhere, let's say, place, and place, let's say so, well , create the conditions, let's say so, unequivocally, and then look at the situation, how is all this with him, to beat him, to break his goat, to break his fingers, well, that is... i understand, the judges informed on suspicion of organizing a completed attempted kidnapping and deprivation of liberty, he faces up to 5 years imprisonment. purification of the judicial system of ukraine from unworthy representatives continues. the higher qualifications commission of judges continues to evaluate the current employees of themis for their suitability for the positions they hold. not everyone passes it, but everyone wants to. so in the pursuit of the preservation of an influential seat in...

to desperate measures, this is maidan judge oleksandr lutsenko, he took away people's driving licenses during the revolution of dignity, and now he has been avoiding qualification assessment for more than six months, this is the judge of the obolon court in the city of kyiv, he simply evades the hearing , because every time the question was raised that he is sick, he is in a hospital and so on, after a few days we see that he is considering cases, court hearings are taking place, decisions in the register appear, that is , he is too sick for the hearing... and qualification assessment , and for the administration of justice, in principle, it is suitable, unfortunately, from the third time he was still, well, they did not apply for dismissal, they did not make any decision, because the higher commission of quols decided, well, conditionally to take a break and postpone the meeting. during this time oleksandr lutsenko initiated a parallel process, applied to the supreme council of justice with a statement of resignation and now has every chance

instead of a shameful dismissal. due to the inadequacy of the position to receive a considerable lifetime allowance at our expense, here is lutsenko, if he resigns now, he will simply receive approximately 200,000 upon leaving, eh, because the judge will receive such a bonus allowance when he resigns, and approximately 60,000 per month he will receive until the end of his life, and unfortunately, in this situation, the vkks obviously helped him in this. especially fearless, unscrupulous ministers themis go to court, such as a judge. vitaly usatiy of the economic court of the kharkiv region. for us, for judges of commercial courts, the most important thing is that in the judicial system of ukraine, commercial courts remain in any modified form, or as they exist now, but they must remain. vitaly usatiy specializes in bankruptcy cases, and he was repeatedly accused of making dubious decisions that allowed private individuals to postpone debts. the experts had many questions.
