that he does not want and will not communicate with our government, which he considers illegitimate, well whose cow mooed, so to speak, yes, it is clearly not the kremlin, but this is one moment, another moment, the situation in the states, we understand, in the states it will be hot, and the kremlin hoped that trump would take power from biden and , accordingly, after november , the kremlin scenario could work in one direction, that is, with the ultimate imposition on ukraine of what they said so... the kremlin will want to talk and agree on this matter maybe with the trump administration, well, i'm grossly oversimplifying, 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, for the spring, that is , the energy scenario, shahedis, missiles and a set of measures, and after that, as they say, the immeasurable suffering of the ukrainian people. this is how my american

friends formulate it, but then the kremlin would like to impose, so to speak, i don't know if there is istanbul-3, or abu dhabi 5, or some other site there. how do you see it? i, i believe that the fall of direct negotiations or we will not see any direct actions that will contribute to this. by direct action, i mean action by the united states. the first and most important factor is that there is no certainty as to who 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 the uncertainty creates the uncertainty of the settlement plan, what the parties will agree to: i mean the democrats or trump. kamala harris, if she becomes a candidate and wins the election, will understandably continue the biden line. this is a moderate line, an adulation of ukraine's negotiations, but at the same time with a firm position of support for ukraine. providing her with military

and financial aid, etc., without making it a condition: aid in exchange for participation in negotiations, the trumps have it, i mean what he himself has stated, i will now say separately about mike pompeo's plan, but still that , what he says and what we hear from him or senator vance and some others, up to his son, can rather be interpreted as that he is ready negotiate with putin alone, no formats are needed, neither swiss, nor in jeddah, 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 action that serves the position of trump, who are trying to draw him into some kind of peace process, some format, istanbul, for example, he does not need this, 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 give up aid to ukraine, but makes it dependent. from 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 decide something, can they... agree or no basically, everyone 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 and dump the government in ukraine, but no more, realizing that in reality this is not an argument, after all they will talk with the kyiv authorities, of course, they will conduct negotiations, if they do start. as for all these formats, and the swiss one about the peace formula, and the previous istanbul one, and the initiative. of saudi arabia, which

took place on august 5, 2023, and the next one in them 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, this is still a game that both sides are playing, and the usa is playing, and kyiv is playing, somewhere there 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 preconditions before the summit in switzerland, which... he believes that they should be implemented regardless of the beginning of negotiations, the lifting of sanctions, the non-aligned status of ukraine and the release unoccupied territories of four oblasts: 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 cease-fire, it needs preambles to a truce, because it is different, it is not just a cessation. a ceasefire always has

guarantors, the parties can stop the fire, but the guarantors must contribute to a truce, at least temporarily, then negotiations directly about the details of some agreements, agreements, etc. at the moment, 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, the usa has no one, and erdogan has already lost his position as a mediator whom kyiv trusts, primarily the usa and the west does not see erdoğan as such an effective mediator, as he would get too close to moscow, we can see that, so erdoğan's platform is unlikely to be effective, with regard to china, it is more calm. because china has an important trump card in relations with moscow, the opportunity to influence it and attract it to negotiations, force it to participate, this is a format that china itself will approve, but it faces the problem of the united states, which 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 it starts... and to stop wars, the usa will never agree to this , never trump is generally anti-chinese, and even the current biden administration continues to call china not a superpower, but a regional power in southwest asia, following obama, and moreover, does not recognize his claims to some kind of binary world, bipolar, in which there is washington and beijing, so the us will not agree to this . in my opinion, there is a very high probability of starting negotiations with... from a meeting, if trump wins, trump with putin, if trump does not win, then it is very likely that some quadrilateral will be formed: the usa, china, russia, ukraine. such a quadrilateral can arise if kamala harris will come to power and trump will lose the election. then yes, this configuration has better

chances, but it cannot happen before spring . well, but in any case, mark, we understand that putin has not for nothing voiced those conditions that are not ... acceptable by definition, no matter what i say about putin, well, he is not a clinical idiot, and he is quite experienced in that, that is, he could not voice certain parameters, in particular, when we are talking about the annexation of still unoccupied ukrainian territories, and the inclusion of aviation, a component 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 did abramovich have for istanbul, yes, but he represented someone, and accordingly , putin in this way wants to cut off some or other alternative to his position, ideas, accordingly, we understand pompeo’s plan, that’s good, but there is also no stamp on this

plan with the name of president donald trump, so that it is not a fact that he will become president, but always in any case trump can say, well, it's pompeo's fantasies, he's ... a cool dude, i respect him, we drank 4 liters of whiskey, but it's not my idea, and accordingly, we can also have unpleasant surprises here , yes, because trump, the guy is also experienced, but his experience, well, it is not a fact that he will benefit us. well, as far as pompeo is concerned, we promised to talk about it, yes, it is quite an effective plan, there is one caveat, which can be very painful for ukrainian public opinion, that ukraine may lose... territories, i mean the plan that i printed from the wall street journal, regarding the rest, this is an ideal plan from the point of view of ukraine's sovereignty, this 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 give up some part of the territory, but what exactly,

four regions plus crimea, or only part of these four regions, is a question of the negotiating position, which, pompeo hints, will be trump's negotiating position. namely on these parts. the problem is that it is the first one part of the plan - the absolute sovereignty of ukraine - is unacceptable for 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 that 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 parts of the territories. four areas, but maybe he can give up on that, 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 , these 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 declares an agreement on the previous conditions, should first... these sanctions were canceled, these are sanctions against third countries, but regarding the non-aligned status, i.e. the non-admission of nato of ukraine, here moscow will never retreat, but land by land, as they intend, so to speak, to return the territory, so we also understand that this is a symbolic story, well, because putin is with him, it was not for nothing that they voiced and, so to speak, made changes to the russian constitution, both with non-aligned status and nato membership, well, we understand moscow’s position, so here is the whole fable about the indivisibility of security and so on on the continent, but the story about the territories that must return, however they... could sell them, well, or could not would, and they will simply stand on that.

indeed, the constitution of the russian federation, which included these new subjects in its composition, provides, including the laws that will follow from it, that it is impossible to change the territorial integrity of russia, there is a criminal article, even for calling, i defended ulmi umerov in crimea under this article. in general, in no way can we talk about the rejection of the territory of the russian federation, if they included them. in their constitution, captured and included, yes, yes, already occupied and included, on the other hand on the other hand, the russian constitution is a piece of paper in the toilet, 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 the whole of ukraine, not just four regions, and here he leaves room for maneuver, 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 to bargain for the unoccupied part, what will be offered to us? what does he offer? i wonder

what he offers in return for all this, and in fact only that they are not offered will attack kyiv, try to attack kyiv, especially after receiving these planes by ukraine, according to bloomberg, yesterday, 20, maybe the first batch of planes, no one knows how many, not to mention the rest, you first capture that kyiv, of course, if the troops under kyiv stood, others were'. but this is not the case. how to determine this military balance that favors one side or the other? is it such that when the war continues, ukraine will definitely lose to it? on the contrary, is ukraine resisting? moscow will definitely not have the strength to hold back occupied territories, is it able to accumulate resources to reach the regional centers, kharkiv, odesa and others? no one knows the answers. there is a military balance, and in the conditions of a military balance, the conditions must be mutually acceptable, not imposed. on the one hand, what moscow is trying to do and also uses other methods to push 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 this cannot be achieved, that is why it is happening here big the game: who will increase the number of allies of their position, who will exhaust their capabilities faster, etc., including the information game, all these ipso that are being tested, they are also in order to undermine... monolithicity, confidence in one's own forces and not only ukraine , but also of the west. voices are already being heard: now is a favorable position, well, we can arrange negotiations. the finnish president declares it, others do too, because of course the war is draining the resources of europe, in particular. all the more so, as everyone is in an exhausting wait for the results of the elections america europe is afraid of the arrival of trump, the main powers, france, germany and others are afraid of this, because they have a negative experience of interacting with trump during his time. presidency from 2016 to 20. in this situation, there is no other recipe, no other

way, except to do what you are doing, to continue fighting, not to accept unacceptable conditions, to hold on until 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 will say: "you yourself agreed, aren't you ready to sacrifice something?" in accordance. the territorial issue is not as important for the kremlin as the issue of ukraine's sovereignty, which involves the possibility of non-aligned status in nato and other european and other alliances. the main question is what ukraine will be like, how those 80% of territories controlled by official kyiv will emerge from this war, or will they emerge with a neutral status that can be undermined by another new war, because they are not in nato. no one is covering you. network of guarantees agreements signing now kyiv 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 espresso tv. take care, god help you, i want to remind our viewers that mark feigen was working for them now. of the russian opposition, not emigration, a former member of the state duma, who received, according to the decision of the pseudo-first instance, 13 years 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. verdict with serhii

rudenko. from now on in a new, two-hour format. even more analytics, even more important topics. even more top guests - foreign experts, inclusion from abroad, about ukraine, the world, the front, society, and also feedback, you can express your opinion on the evil of the day with the help of a telephone survey, turn on and turn on, the verdict with serhiy rudenko, from tuesday to friday from 20 to 22. estoy pocket.

i am serhii stakhovskyi, the former number one player of ukraine, the 31st player in the world. during his 15 -year professional career, he took part in all the biggest tennis competitions in the world, including the big ones in sholoon. won the atp competition, spent 16 years in the ranks of the ukrainian tennis team. i was born in the city of kyiv, i am from kyiv, i am ukrainian, i really love this country, these people, this land, and i i understand that each of us takes certain sacrificial steps, after a full-scale invasion

i joined the ranks of the defense, and today i am a special agent of the center. special operations a. security service of ukraine. the center for special operations of the a. security service is fighting on all front lines. we have divisions in all regions of ukraine. and in every area of ​​combat. the unit works efficiently, we use small groups, the group plans the points of damage, we are called to reinforce or to suppress the moscow assaults, we ourselves are in the location, we measure our evacuation routes ourselves,

we set our own route, again depending on the task, groups are formed, whether only a mortar is going, or it is... mortars or two mortars and the group commander already directly sets up task, i was in the mortar calculation for some time, then i switched to engineers for fpv drones, that is, it is the equipment of the drone itself for its flight, due to the fact that we are constantly moving... along the line of combat collision, we all need, of course, to be able to shoot from automatic weapons , from guns, throw grenades, that's why all this is constantly being trained. when we return to the bpd, it is all constantly trained, sharpened, improved, well, i have to train a lot, because the employees themselves, who are, let's say, hr

employees, it's all easier for them, because they have been doing it all their lives, therefore , of course, i have a lot to catch up on, the full-scale invasion of the mozkovites into ukraine is unprecedented in the 21st century with missiles, aviation, attacking a neighboring independent state. this is an incredible tragedy for ukraine, because the number of civilians killed, raped, taken away , tortured, robbed by the muscovites is measured in the tens of thousands, the destroyed cities, which are destroyed everywhere, i saw these cities with my own eyes, and this, of course, is very much in relation to that , what muscovites represent as a nation, as a state, and what they want to achieve. as of today , the aggressor has already destroyed more than 500 sports infrastructure facilities in ukraine, killed

several thousand athletes, instructors, and these crimes have not ended. they took it from us the opportunity to instill a love of sports in children, especially people who professionally knew how to do it. to me, as a person who gave. sport for more than 20 years of my life, i really want to give a part of myself to the sport that gave me almost everything. fortunately, i am allowed to practice with small young tennis players, so i have the opportunity to pass on some of my experience. the fact that ukraine is at the olympics is already an incredible victory, in the conditions of a full-scale war. bombings, destruction, murders and the like, the victory of the defense forces, because we have there is a country, and the victory of our

athletes who qualified for this olympics is huge. watch this week in the judicial control program with tatyana shustrova. contest to the constitutional court, where the candidates have valuable property. why does the state look into my life, my wallet? well, on what grounds? but how did the contestant receive a conclusion of dishonesty for the second time. i admitted my mistakes that were made in the previous competition. congratulations. judicial control is on the air. the judicial system of ukraine needs a thorough reboot. this is one of the requirements. our accession to the european union. selection for one of the country's most important judges - the constitutional court - continues in ukraine. the conditions of selection are strict, and even in spite of this

, unscrupulous servants of themis try to get into the body that interprets the main state document and decides on the conformity of the ukrainian legislation with the constitution. we will talk about this today, but first to the news. i judge serhiy kononenko of poltava's leninsky district was sentenced to six years in prison for extorting a bribe. higher the anti-corruption court found him guilty of two episodes. he demanded and received uah 3,000 for the decision to recognize ownership of a self-built garage and uah 500 in the case of collecting a debt of 100,000. this is the second time that vaks has issued a verdict against judge kononenko. on august 17, 2022, he was found guilty and sentenced to seven years in prison. however, the appeals chamber of vaks, having satisfied the appeal of the defense side, sent the case for a new trial. the publication about the court notes that during the first trial, kononenko was constantly procrastinating

process. he was repeatedly fined for non-appearance. also, he did not pay the bail assigned to him and even tried to mobilize to the armed forces in order to stop the proceedings. according to the anti-corruption center, there was another interesting detail in the case. according to the applicant. during a personal meeting, the judge made her an unusual offer of cooperation. we met him in the park. he said that he has three lawyers with whom he works, and offered me one too. plus, such cooperation had to carry also sexual because he said he sleeps with all the female lawyers he works with. in the event that the sentence enters into force before the term of kononenko's sentence, the time spent in the pretrial detention center will be counted. he stayed there since august. 2022 to june 2023. selection for one of the most important judicial

bodies of the constitutional court is underway in ukraine. earlier. constitutional court judges were appointed by the president, the parliament and the congress of judges, and at the end of 2022 the verkhovna rada adopted a law on changing the selection procedure. the law was created i recommend a group of experts who analyze each candidate for compliance with the criteria of integrity and professional competence. and here is this advisory group of experts, it has, so to speak, to filter candidates, and already from the expelled candidates, both the president, and judges, and... the supreme council will already choose their own according to their quota, whom they will appoint as judges of the constitutional court . the qualitative formation of the judicial body of the constitutional court is of paramount importance, because it is this court that currently depends on the fate of several key reforms, in particular the reform land market. after the end of the war, the constitutional court will consider the complex issues of reintegration of the occupied territories. and although the selection conditions are strict, unscrupulous

servants. medes do not lose hope of climbing into the high chair. this is tamara novikova, a judge of the cherkasy district administrative court. i was not an honest judge, without various compromises, always, as my parents taught me, to be honest with myself and with the law, never to compromise with my conscience. in 2012, the supreme council of justice denied tamara novikova appointed by a judge without a term. the candidate assures, sticks were stuck in her wheels. i was fired at the end of my term as a judge, not for disciplinary or any other issues, why? because at that time i had a conflict with the head of the court, and this is known to everyone, it is on the air, who provided unreliable information on the quality of the proceedings, and this was the reason for not

reaching the higher... council of justice the corresponding number of votes when they voted for the extension of their mandate indefinitely. in 2016 in 2016, the higher qualifications commission recognized novikova as unfit for the position according to the criteria of professional ethics and integrity. the members of the commission made a similar decision two years ago. members of the highest quality commission went beyond their powers and interfered in my personal life. that's why i contested it, i have the right to it as a natural person. and not only as a judge, so i think it was a violation, to this day it remains open. tamara novikova, like most ukrainian judges, has very loving parents who have saved money all their lives for precious gifts for a daughter. i was constantly, as they say, in such poor, modest premises, to put it mildly, that's why

my mother couldn't stand it, she says, we'll do everything. we do it so that you, i understand that it is an endless struggle for you, and so that you are not harassed by the owner, according to the candidate for the constitutional court, the lion's share of the money for the real estate was given by her mother, who worked as a teacher, and although the apartment was intended for the residence of the judge, they issued it also for the mother. the fact is that i did not have enough money to buy it, but my mother did to take away, to say: mother, give me money, it is not customary in our country to use mother's money, or how to take it away? tamara novikova, the teacher's mother, cannot explain where the money comes from, i asked her more than once, even yesterday, she resents me, says, i suffered a lot from your profession, and why is my life, my wallet, my state looking, well, for what reasons , if my mother had a relationship with my father, he gave her some funds, which , again, i do not know, she

disposed of them in this way and... which she considers necessary, then what should i manage and to interrogate, as an investigator, where did your mother get the money? last year, tamara novikova, according to the declaration, earned more than a million hryvnias, but she did not find the money to buy a chandelier for the apartment bought by her mother, she did not even run the electricity to the end, because i have nothing to pay for, i have nothing to even buy a chandelier, but how do you use it then, how do you live there, the position of judge of the constitutional court of ukraine is claimed by... nataliya kaminska, professor of the department of international law and comparative jurisprudence of the national aviation university. i am ready to be open, transparent, conscientiously perform the functional duties of a future judge of the constitutional court. in 2007, natalia kaminska bought an apartment in kyiv on credit for 80,000 dollars. however, indicate this value in the declaration of the candidate for the position of judge of the constitutional court, professor.
