5:00 am
plan: there is one caveat, which can be very painful for ukrainian public opinion, that ukraine may lose part of the territory, i mean the plan that i printed from the wall street journal. as for the rest, this is a perfect plan from the point of view of ukraine's sovereignty, it is nato membership and the rest of the things that are repeated, like boris johnson's in his plan, which we also saw in the daily mail the day before. yes, to cede some part of the territory, but what exactly, four regions plus crimea, or only? part of these four regions is a matter of negotiating position, which, pompeo hints, will be trump's negotiating position, 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. yes, probably, in these three preliminary conditions that putin mentioned before the summit in switzerland. provoking a summit in
5:01 am
the territory of the four regions, but perhaps this he can give in, here they can switzerland to some sharp reactions, there are conditions for the withdrawal of parts of the armed forces from unoccupied parts , move the administrative border, maybe. 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 should kyiv, if it declares an agreement based on previous conditions to worry about the cancellation of these sanctions, these are the sanctions of third countries, but regarding the non-aligned status, that is, the non-admission of ukraine to nato, here moscow will never back down, but on the ground, on the ground, as they are going, so to speak, to go for a comeback territory, so we also understand that this is a symbolic story, well, because putin and... with him, they
5:02 am
voiced and, so to speak, made changes to the russian constitution for a reason, and with non-aligned status or membership in nato, well, we understand moscow's position , that's all the fable about the indivisibility of security and so on on the continent, but the story about the territories that must be returned, how they could sell them, or they could not, and they will simply stand on that, indeed, the constitution of the russian federation, which included the price. subjects to its composition provides, including the laws that will follow from it, that it is impossible to change the territorial integrity of russia, as a criminal article, even for a call, i defended ulmi umerov in crimea under this article, in general not in any form we can talk about the rejection of the territories of the russian federation, if they included them in their constitution, captured and included them, yes, they already occupied and included them, on the other hand, the russian constitution. it's chewed toilet paper.
5:03 am
no one will pay attention to the constitution, it's just that, apart from the constitution, putin's plans are even more ambitious. he wants all 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 we are ready for the unoccupied part bargain. what will be offered to us. and what does he offer? i wonder what he offers for all this in return, and in fact he offers. only that they will not advance on kyiv, try to advance on kyiv, especially after the receipt of these planes by ukraine, according to bloomberg, yesterday, 20, maybe the first batch of planes, no one knows how many, let alone the rest, you first capture that kyiv , of course, if the troops were standing near kiev, there would be other negotiations, but there is no way to determine this military balance, which gives priority to one side or another, it is such that when the war continues, ukraine will definitely lose it.
5:04 am
or on the contrary, will ukraine resist? moscow will definitely lack the strength to hold the occupied territories, or will it be 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 imposed by one side, which is what moscow is trying to do, and also uses other methods to press its position, because they cannot achieve this by military means. if they could achieve this, they would have already achieved it and would be standing in kyiv, but it is impossible to achieve this, so there is a big game going on here: who will increase the number of allies of their position, who will exhaust their opportunities faster, etc., in particular, the information game, all these ipso , who are testing, they are also in order to undermine the unity, monolithicity, confidence in their own strength and not only of ukraine, but also of the west, voices are already being heard, but now it is a favorable position, no need to arrange negotiations, finnish. the president
5:05 am
declares it, and so do others, because of course the war is draining the resources of europe, in particular, especially since everyone is in weary anticipation of the result of the american elections, europe is afraid of the coming. the main powers, france, germany and others, are afraid of this, because they have a negative experience of interacting with trump during his presidency, from 2016 to 2020. in this situation, there is no other recipe, no other way, than to do what you are doing, to keep fighting, not to accept unacceptable conditions, to hold on until the moment when the situation will not improve in the right direction. if ukraine now retreats and agrees to some of putin's conditions, then it will be very difficult. will play back, he will seize on it and say: you yourself agreed, you yourself are ready to sacrifice something, accordingly, this is a trap, and the kremlin wants to drive ukraine into this trap. the territorial issue is not as important for the kremlin as the issue of ukraine's sovereignty, which involves the possibility of a non-aligned status in
5:06 am
nato and other alliances, 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 turn out. of this war, will they come out with a neutral status, which can be undermined by another new war, because no one covers you outside of nato, the network of guarantee agreements that kyiv is currently signing for the post-war period may not work, but membership in nato will work, we have already seen it, the baltic countries are an example of this status working, and this is the most principled issue, and it has not been resolved. thank you very much, mark, for this extremely important conversation. in on the espresso tv channel. take care, god help you, i want to remind our tv viewers that mark feigin, a member of the russian opposition, not emigration, a former member of the state duma, who was sentenced to 13 years in prison for
5:07 am
anti-kremlin agitation, was working for them. 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 nevi. events of this day. take care of yourself and your loved ones, see you on the air. see this week in the judicial control program with tatyana shustrova. kidnapping and illegal entrepreneurship. why did judge bondariv get suspicion? in order to solve his business affairs, the judge ordered the kidnapping of his partner. but how unscrupulous judges avoid qualification assessment. for the meeting. and qualification assessment is too sick, but for the administration of justice, in principle, it is suitable. congratulations, this is a program of judicial control, as always we are talking about the main reform on which our european prospects depend. how a new judicial power is being formed in ukraine, and what are the tricks
5:08 am
do the unscrupulous servants of themis manage to avoid a qualifying assessment that would lead to ignominious dismissal, and who plays along with them? about all this today. but first traditionally, before the news. the judge of the brovary city district court , volodymyr serdynskyi, allegedly forged documents and instead of going on a business trip, took the money on a cruise ship to the caribbean islands. the security service of ukraine informed him of suspicion of forgery of documents and fraud. according to the investigation materials, in the summer of 2023, he was able to illegally travel abroad under a guise business trip together with his roommate. for this, serdynskyi used draft letter of invitation to participate 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, minister themide, in collusion
5:09 am
with a lawyer he knew, forged an invitation to an alleged conference in austria. on the basis of this forgery, the court issued him a business trip abroad. not for the first time falls into the field of view of law enforcement officers. last year, a judge was bribed with a $400 bribe. according to the investigation, the judge received an illegal benefit from the representative of one of the parties in a civil case for making a decision in her 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 funds in the amount of $300 for the debt collection decision in favor of the plaintiff serdynskyi. the detectives of naboo exposed it hotly. during searches in 15,600 dollars were seized in different envelopes from the court. the judge of the economic court of the dnipropetrovsk region, eduard bonderev, is suspected of ordering the kidnapping of his business partner. according to the investigation
5:10 am
, the judge started farming in 2017, 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. the involved party allocated more than uah 3 million to the business project. with these funds, the fictitious person purchased, in his name, combine harvesters, trucks, tractors and other machinery. most of the profit. was received by the judge himself, over time the enterprise expanded and money was invested in its development, including the suspect's partner. however , the judge began to feel less and less comfortable with the management of the company with his partner. 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 peacefully agree on leaving the business, and then, according to the investigation, the suspect for $17 from... the abduction of the husband's partner was to deprive him of his freedom and force him to sign the necessary documents for the transfer of legal ownership of
5:11 am
the farm's property. the state bureau of investigation publishes an excerpt from the conversation between the customer and the perpetrator of the crime. the place, yes, yes, in order to understand where to take it, in which direction, well, in order to do this to me, you understand that it must be stolen. yes, and place it somewhere, let's say, and place it, let's say, well, create the conditions, let's say, unambiguously. and there already. to look at the situation, how with him all this is beating him, breaking his goat, fingers crossed there, well, i don't understand, the judges informed about the suspicion of organizing a completed attempt to kidnap a person and deprivation of liberty, he faces up to 5 years in prison. purification of the judicial system of ukraine from unworthy representatives continues, the higher qualification commission of judges continues to evaluate the current officers of themis for compliance with their requirements. those positions, not everyone goes through it, but everyone wants to, so in the pursuit of preserving an influential seat
5:12 am
, they resort to desperate measures. this is maidan judge oleksandr lutsenko. he deprived people's driver's license during the revolution of dignity, and now avoids qualifying for more than six months. he is a judge of the obolon court of the city of kyiv. he simply evades the meeting, because every time the question was raised that he is sick, he is in a hospital, and so on. in just a few days, we see that he is considering cases. court hearings take place, decisions appear in the register, that is, he is too sick for hearings and evaluations, but he is in principle suitable for the administration of justice, unfortunately, from the third time he was still not submitted for dismissal, did not make any decision, because the higher qualification commission decided, well, conditionally to take a break and postpone the meeting. during this time oleksandr lutsenko initiated a parallel. appealed to the supreme council of justice with a statement of resignation and now has every chance
5:13 am
to receive a considerable lifetime allowance at our expense, instead of a shameful dismissal due to ineligibility for the position. here is lutsenko, if they resign now, he will simply receive only about 200,000 upon leaving, because the judge receives such a bonus when he resigns, and about 60,000 per month he will receive for the rest of his life. and unfortunately, in this situation, the vkks... obviously helped him in this. especially fearless unscrupulous servants of themis go to court. for example, vitaly usatiy, judge of the economic court of the kharkiv region. for us, for judges, commercial courts, the most important thing is that in the system, 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 has repeatedly were accused of making dubious decisions that provided an opportunity. private individuals to defer debts, experts had many questions about the property of the usatoy family,
5:14 am
in particular, in 2015, a retired mother-in-law bought a house with an area of 533 m2 near kharkiv for almost uah 2 million, and an elite mercedes suv for over uah 1.5 million. which had no income other than a pension, such funds are unclear. he received a negative opinion from the public council of dobrochasnost. he had valuable property, which was questionable. declaration, the question of where the money comes from, in particular to him and his wife. the second was that he received a prize weapon from minister ovakov. the law stipulates that the conclusion of the public integrity council about a judge is reviewed by a panel of three members of the higher qualification commission, then by the full commission, and at least 11 people support the panel's decision. that is, roughly speaking, as the first and second instance, you can say. nevertheless, usati decided to go to the supreme court and say that no, no review of this complete
5:15 am
i should not be a member of the supreme administrative court, since the board said that i am honest, it should remain so, the assessment is over for me. on june 13, the grand chamber of the supreme court declared the qualification evaluation procedure for judge usatoy invalid, and this is a very dangerous precedent that actually nullifies the qualification evaluation of almost 180 more unscrupulous judges, it gives them the opportunity to remain in their positions and endangers the purification of the judicial corps. this position of the supreme court helps another 179 judges, which are good, at least definitely. well, most of them, where the conclusions have not been canceled, they should be released, but they remain in the system, in a system that currently has only a few thousand judges, and they will be able to continue to apply for higher positions, enter the same supreme court, become members of commissions, other bodies, i.e. to decide the judicial career for others, er, and in principle
5:16 am
to feel at ease until the age of 65, to receive his good high salary as a judge. to make decisions on behalf of ukraine and continue to actually purchase apartments in maidama, cars, and so on. this is the decision of the supreme court, in my opinion experts, is the result of a poor-quality competition to the supreme court of ukraine. this case unequivocally shows that there are problems with the supreme court, and the public integrity council repeatedly shouted during the first and second contests to the supreme court that the then qualification commission simply turned a blind eye to... conclusions, where are the standard ones stories, judges who brought people to justice during the maidan, watches for $50,000, as bohdan lviv had. we hope that this case of the grand chamber of the supreme court is saved judge vitaliy usatoy from the qualification assessment, after the publicity of the public
5:17 am
will remain the only one, and other unscrupulous servants of femida will not be able to avoid a fair verdict according to... such a scheme. and for today i have everything. if you want to report corrupt judges or illegal decisions, write to me on facebook or to this email address. see you in exactly a week. congratulations. my name is yuriy fizar and this is espresso-interview. i usually invite interesting guests to this studio in order to talk with them about interesting topics. and today, my interlocutor, extraordinary and authoritative, is the ambassador of the republic of estonia to ukraine, annelii kolk. i will talk to her about important things, about mutual relations between estonia and ukraine, about the help we have received,
5:18 am
continue to receive, and i am sure we will continue to receive from our brotherly country, and about many other... other things. madam ambassador, i congratulate you, thank you very much for joining me today, for coming here. thank you, thank you. for being invited. thank you. look, the first question will be, estonia is a relatively small country. if compared with other european countries, of course, there are smaller ones, but estonia is small. but despite all this, we received a lot of help from your country, both financially and militarily. what is this, i don't know, paradox, maybe why it is so, is it because of the knowledge of history, or maybe something else is hidden in it, yes, of course, one of the main reasons is that we have a common history, we were occupied by the soviet union, we
5:19 am
lived together under the conditions of occupation, we know what it is like ah... of course, this was one of the reasons, but i think that the main reason why estonia helps, helped and will help ukraine. the fact that estonians love ukrainians very much, we admire how you behave against this russian evil, how you bravely and resolutely fight brutality, genocide, war crimes, and i think this is
5:20 am
the biggest reason why estonia wants to help ukraine . and this brutal war has been going on for more than two years, and the estonians' admiration for ukraine is growing even more, it is growing because you continue to defend your country, you are fighting for your people, for your cultural identity, and all this is very dear and very close to the eastonians, well, on the one hand , it is bad that this common history, which you mentioned, that... it unites us, and on the other hand, it's good that it unites us, because we feel how close we are to each other, even though we are separated by some, some kilometers, and none the less, but... speaking after all, about aid, are there any statistics, exactly how much aid, for example, military or have we already received financial support from the republic of estonia? statistics, estonia
5:21 am
has provided more than 26 million euros in humanitarian aid since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, and this is as a governmental state. aid, aid from the private sector and ordinary ordinary citizens, regarding military aid, it has already reached more than 500 million, if compared with gdp, estonia provided aid for more than 1-3% of its gdp, which means that we are one of the most active which supports ukraine, in addition, the estonian government decided at the end last year, that they will allocate for the next four years, annually 0.25% of our
5:22 am
vek for ukraine, precisely for military aid, for reconstruction, so our aid will definitely continue, and estonia will do everything possible to... increase humanitarian and other aid to ukraine. well, i can only answer that in estonian. i will try, madam ambassador, don't criticize my accent too much, tanan tejvaga for all that estonia does for us. well, but look, one more point, a few months ago the parliament of estonia passed a law, and then this law ratified by the president of estonia, which, this law allows the use of frozen russian assets for compensation. that russia has inflicted in this aggressive war in ukraine, several months have passed, i think two months have passed since this law came into
5:23 am
force, have there already been any transfers, this is the first question, to ukraine, i mean, and by -the second question is whether other western countries followed the example of estonia, because estonia was the first western country to pass such a law. estonia was one of the first countries to say no it is necessary to use the frozen russian assets for the reconstruction of ukraine, due to the fact that the aggressor has to pay the price for this, and we were one of the first countries to say two years ago that we need to start reconstruction, the reconstruction of ukraine already during the war, it is not necessary wait until she since we need to give people hope and help refugees, those who left
5:24 am
ukraine and then started to return, we tried to understand, analyze all possible ways to make russia pay the price for the damage that it inflicted on ukraine, and we were pioneers in introducing such legislation. regarding the use of frozen russian assets for the restoration of ukraine, and these assets are not only state assets, they are also the property of private individuals and legal entities in estonia, and all those who are under international sanctions, the law was recently adopted. and the regulatory processes are still ongoing, as everything must comply with international rules so that we do not create unnecessary problems for ukraine in
5:25 am
the coming years, so we are currently working on with this, and i think that we are making great progress in this direction, i hope that we can demonstrate to the whole world that it is possible, that you can use all the frozen acts. countries, in your opinion, personal opinion, why they do not pass such laws, just your western countries, having passed this law, others personal opinion, because of fear, is something else still possible? it is very difficult for me to say.
5:26 am
do something or don't do something, but i think that there are still some legal issues, legal issues that countries are discussing, but estonia really, our national legislation tried to do so, in fact, to bring it in such a form, to prove that we can do it without violating european or international legislation, i really hope that the west. partners will see this, and they will not delay and pass similar laws in their countries, well, but now we move on to another, uh, post-war reconstruction of ukraine, after all, even this reconstruction is already underway in different parts of ukraine, and those that were under temporary occupation in the first days of the second world war. tell me please, estonia has some projects, in this case state or non-state projects, that
5:27 am
it helps. rebuild ukrainian cities and villages? yes, yes, of course, as i already said, we started this work already in the 22nd year, and all these projects related to reconstruction in ukraine began then, in particular in the zhytomyr region, it is conventionally ours, our region, our region, since estonia is a small country, and we have limited. resources and we thought that it is necessary to approach the issue of restoration of ukraine very comprehensively, so we chose one for ourselves region, one region, and we provide assistance for reconstruction right there, we helped build a new kindergarten, and we conduct training for teachers, educators, so
5:28 am
that such assistance is long-term. just not just build one house or one shelter, but help in such a way that it is long-term and covers the problems faced by a specific region, of course, but we talked about the money that comes from estonia, or for example military support that goes from estonia to ukraine, let's talk now about the help that ukrainians receive who... are currently in the territory of the republic of estonia, do you have any statistics at this very moment, exactly how many citizens of ukraine are there and is there any tendency to return to ukraine? yes, of course, we have statistics on ukrainians currently living in estonia, and we provided them from theirs. on the first day of arrival
5:29 am
in estonia any assistance, any assistance we could provide, it is medical assistance, social, protection, education, we also opened two special schools, specialized schools for ukrainian children, where they can study in the estonian language, but keep their own language and culture. and they can study according to the ukrainian program, that is why we are trying to do everything for the ukrainian refugees who are in estonia, so that they do not lose this connection with their country, with their culture. of course, we have other plans, projects, but the main slogan of the government is that...
5:30 am
it is necessary for ukrainians to feel that they are here are welcomed in estonia, and i can confidently say that ukrainians in estonia definitely feel that they are welcomed in this country, since my daughter has been living in the territory of the republic of estonia for more than two years, she studies there and she knows how estonians think, how estonians help and yakonians try to do everything to bring our joint victory over the russian aggressor closer. now, about the victory a little bit in estonia, in addition to women and children, of course, there are many men who received, this is not temporary shelter, temporary protection, it is called, as far as i understand in estonia, please tell me, now in many, at least in eastern european countries, they are talking about the fact that they are somehow trying.
