that's how they drove me, because coercion to force, to peace, coercion to peace, to negotiations, this is not the ukrainian way, this is the way, the way of the führer, and pay attention, he reflects based on the fact that everyone is like us, like them, like the russians, this is evidence that he is on to something, now the results, ah, i would like to draw your attention and our viewers to the smile on the face of the ukrainian president when he was asked about the round of negotiations for the next peace summit, so he was or was not, he smiled and said: yes, online took place and put an end to it, it is very and he did it with a smile, like, well , what, that is, everything that is happening around qatar, now saudi arabia, the united arab emirates. in the matter of the so-called

summit, because i cannot call it any other way, this is something that does not have a key purpose from my point of view, because based on what i am telling you about, it is one of the tactical tools to drive the führer into cell, it is obvious that in addition to what we talked about the exchange rate operation, the topic of these dialogues, which in... another moment that surprised me: a quick, quick exchange, and it's not because of the holiday, but because it coincided so, remember this phrase, because it coincided so, forgive me, mr. antin, but i know , how the negotiations conducted by qatar developed. in this regard, in

many directions, as they were conducted for a long time, the wheels turned very quickly here, that is, there are some moments that are half-hearted from the point of view of access to information, and which we can at least read with you as two or three figures, according to which even i do not dare to draw a conclusion the present, in the present situation, but this uncertainty... it is always dangerous for a dictatorial regime, any dictatorial regime, he hopes and thinks of himself in a clear certainty: we are eternal, what we want is done, here it happened, that there was a course of events and the logic of the process, which the kremlin does not understand, and it is connected with the situation at the front, and with the situation in the negotiation process, and here to... it is important

that the first thing is the need to break the situation for ukraine in the area pokrovska, in the negotiation process there is an extreme necessity, extreme the need to break the situation with the azov fighters, and at the same time the führer is focused on pokrovsk and azov, something is happening around him that makes him have a soft spot and... that he does not know how to react to it, and this ambiguity, it is so torpedoes the kremlin's ability to react, leads it simply to reflection or to spontaneous steps, well, i'm not a military person, but with what is happening in the area of ​​the kurdish operation with the boiler and with the involvement of troops here from the russian side, with the appointment of... persons, then the director

of the fsb is appointed as the chief, then the security guard the former is appointed chief, well, mr. antin, well, where is the problem, and where is the fsb chief in charge of the army operation or the bodyguard, well, you have to understand, but these personnel decisions of the führer indicate that he is not oriented, he does not understand what is really happening, and that, if these things are defined as the tasks of the operation in the kursk region by the ukrainian side, the ukrainian military-political leadership, it pleases me, well, if it is the same spontaneity, well, then it makes me think. thank you very much, mr. roman, for this extremely important conversation on the air of the tv channel, i want to remind our tv viewers that now roman bezsmertny, an iconic ukrainian politician and diplomat, the author of an extraordinary youtube, worked for them. channel, who wants

more quality analytics from roman bezsmertny, contact his youtube channel and we will watch together. thank you, roman petrovych, thank you. events, events that are happening right now and affect our lives, of course, the news feed reports about them, but it is not enough to know what is happening, it is necessary to understand. antin borkovskyi and invited guests experts soberly evaluate events, analyze them, modeling our future. every saturday at 1:10 p.m., repeat on sunday at 10:10 a.m. studio zahid with anton borkovsky at espresso. new week on espresso - a weekly summary information and analytical program. a clear understanding of the key events of the past week, analysis of the causes and consequences of these events

by experts, forecasts of the development of the situation for the current week, the opportunity to ask your own questions and join the discussion. spend the final monday evening with us and be confident. broke on new week. project new week with khrystyna yatskiv and andriy smoly every monday at 8:00 p.m. on espresso. now , the famous political scientist andrii pionkovsky, who is in washington, will work on the air of the espresso tv channel. glory to ukraine, andriy andriyovych, glad to see you. glory to the heroes, good day, kursk operation. the armed forces of ukraine entered the soft underbelly of the russian federation, when we talk in general about the north, the northeast of our ukrainian-russian border, they did not wait, and here putin was silent for a long time, then he went to the caucasus, but still we do not see one or the other

a very clear and understandable, and generally usual reaction of the russian dictator. you are right, everyone in the usa is already tired of these eternal mutterings of grandfather biden about the fact that in no case should the escalation of the regional conflict be allowed. most of the american political community met these events with great enthusiasm. everyone knows what statements the senators made, demanding from the administration of the us president not only to remove all restrictions, but also for the first time they began to demand what we talked about with you six months ago, to provide ukraine with modern planes with crews of western pilots. we understand. that this red line, which they set for themselves regarding only ukrainian pilots, limits kyiv's capabilities, you can train 20-30 pilots, you need 150 to change the course of the war and knock out the aggressor from crimea, this is about the usa, about

russia, then if you look at russian propaganda channels, then there is panic, the main narrative that sounds among russian propagandists, the tsar is not real, the tsar who could not implement any of his own. putin's threats to ukraine are empty, he will not use any nuclear weapons, that's it of course, now he is trying to divert the attention of russians from kursk with these trips and initiatives. if they were unable to propose a military solution for two weeks, well, it is all the more strange now that, you know, putin's slight indifference towards magathe. dear magat, come and see, there is nuclear, nuclear facilities and so on, we will change our... nuclear doctrine, that is , again, but there is no concrete military-political answer, although lavrov said that no negotiations under the current circumstances won't be, that is, as far as i am concerned i understand, one or the other was conducted, perhaps there were signals,

some closed channels were used for communication on this matter, remember the reaction in the first days, when they pulled out gerasimov from somewhere in the basement, and he promised putin that by the evening... they would restore the state border . two weeks have already passed. are you right moreover, he does not have any tools for the so-called punishment of ukraine, except for bombing the energy infrastructure. and that's all. this, too, will not last long. missiles are running out, and the west continues to implement the plan provision of air defense of ukraine and aviation. the russian army has no reserves that it could send to the kurt region. that is why zelensky and ukraine have somewhat changed their rhetoric. instead of a plan, a plan for victory. zelensky is going to washington with a plan for victory. the plan for victory is very simple: remove only two restrictions, the last ones left. these are strikes on russian territory at any distance. this is what the eu officially demands. great britain complains about

the us, as we know, allowed its storm shadow missiles, as did france scalp missiles. great britain still has to look to the united states. let's say, directly the usa. really help ukraine with the selection and intelligence of data, so we have to reckon with their limitations. britain is now acting unofficially and trying to persuade the united states to abandon these. bro, my feeling here in washington is that this issue will be resolved within a few days. the second issue, which is being resolved for the first time, was not said by us, but zelensky and the senators are conducting the selection of westerners for the first time pilots for the crews of not only the f-16, but also other western aircraft. these two red lines will be rejected, and according to this , the plan for the victory of ukraine consists. this is actually the plan of victory. in your opinion, for what purpose? this whole thing dragged on for a long time, what were they afraid of? that is, well, if we do not fall into conspiracy theories, we understand that

putin’s nuclear blackmail was always on kona, on the other hand, we understand that putin has gone so far that he would have to somehow be removed, literally or figuratively, from the position of the russian president, for which, by the way, he was not elected, and that's it, but this whole thing is postponed, maybe the current combination or const... of the russian government, it somehow suits, well, different sides of the current world game, that's what suits the chinese , maybe it suits india, yes, because both the chinese and india get their energy resources, russian energy resources at dumping prices, so the united states is not ready to completely shake russia so that it does not finally fall into china's pocket. two main motives: 2.5 years all the same, putin's nuclear blackmail worked, now he no longer convinces anyone, he is already mocked in russia, as

one of the russian propagandists buzhinsky said, who is very aware that it is time for them to end non-binding threats, that is, that they will use nuclear weapons, although it is clear that this will never happen, they are no longer afraid of this nuclear blackmail, we remember how in the lithuanian parliament there was a positive decision to send the military to ukraine, responding to... will putin not apply nuclear weapons, the prime minister of lithuania said that he promises to use these weapons every week, this is no longer an argument. the last argument is a repetition of the same fear, when you remember bush, sr. persuaded ukraine in august 1991 to stay in the ussr. this is fear of the unknown, fear of the collapse of the russian federation, and then everything will be taken over by china. these arguments stopped working. that explosion of enthusiasm in american politics. which took place after the armed forces entered the kurdish region, it shows that all these

arguments no longer work, the last one will removed soon, the last one will be removed soon, but on the other hand , we understand that putin is moving along his trajectory, bloody, very costly when we talk about the personnel of the russian interventionists and consistent in something, that is, he is now starting to dig and dig the pokrovsky direction. they do not spare people, they pull people up. are thrown over, but we understand that this impulse due to one reason or another, well , people are running out, so it will be necessary to go out for mobilization, putin will go out for mobilization does not want, it can provoke an additional line of internal russian tension, but taking into account the general propaganda work, and accordingly, as a result of this , the fascisization and hysteria of the russian lumpen appears, well, maybe he will go for it in the near future, you know, the fascisization of the russian lumpen carries threats to putin as well . we continue to wait for huge numbers

of russians to come out for massive anti-war demonstrations. this will never happen because it is a totalitarian state. the leaders of the anti-war movement were killed, thrown into prisons or expelled from the country. there are no anti-war parties in the political space. everything there narrowed down to the so-called z. cattle and supporters of war. these supporters are already very disappointed with putin, his... inability to implement his program, the most dangerous for putin right now are not those who hate him for starting the war, but those who hate him for starting this war loses in their z-channels, the argumentation is very reminiscent of prigozhin's words. prigozhin did not directly attack putin, he mercilessly criticized the ministry of defense of the russian federation, shoigu and gerasimov. this is how the zet warriors operate today. it's just that there is still criticism of putin, it is very dangerous for putin. but a brilliant career in the paws of prigozhin, she would testify to the russian generalship to those who could be

an alternative, so it is not worth getting into it, because sooner or later hands from lubyanka will reach you, and we understand that in the great subversive competition between the gestapo and the wehrmacht, for some reason the gestapo always won, and yet we do not see figures around whom this internal protest, let it be the so-called criticism, could be consolidated. in fact, they criticize putin for not being bloody enough, not successful enough in his war against ukraine, well, there was already the prigozhin case and there was the story with...now kursk, but there are no very specific movements on the part of the generals, which would say in the professor's voice nightingale, that the tsar is not real, that the real tsar lies in the refrigerator, or is simply buried in the mausoleum under lenin's body, but there is no such thing. this is a classic struggle between the wehrmacht and the gestapo,

between the army and the nkvd. it seems to me that they will not wait for the day when they will come for them. this one the party z... of war, which now dominates the information space of the russian federation, has three groups that hate each other, each blames the failures of the war, it is the army, putin and his fsb resource, and the so-called prigozhin folk spirit. one more humiliating email from putin, in my opinion, would have ruined this mix. i am sure that the ukrainian military command is preparing for this. i mean the destruction of the kerch bridge. as far as i understand, this is the situation in moscow, this conflict of three groups and destruction. kherchen bridge finally will convince them that the king is not real. you said that these right-wing groups demand more bloody actions, but there will be no more bloody, in particular, nuclear actions. their criticism is no longer limited to the denial of new methods of waging war, but to the accusation of losing the war. the war has already been lost, the war that putin declared on february 24. kyiv in a week, and then

for nato to retreat deep into europe, this war is already lost forever. putin's group already. retreated, he is fighting for power, he is trying to maintain power in a country that has lost the war, for this he it is necessary to name other culprits, now he is naming generals, they are calling, well, gerasimov, well, he is just asking to be named, so to speak, a very characteristic physiognomy, well , the psychotype is the one that asks, gerasimov is already ready to take off his pants so that they start raping him with a mop in the basements of the nkvd. this process can no longer continue. definitely, blow up the kerch bridge, and i guarantee you the collapse of putin's regime. well, on the other hand, we understand that the crimean bridge itself, it, its destruction is required as part of a large offensive operation or some additional evasive maneuvers, but we see another very characteristic and important moment from the military point of view, that is, the burning of

military facilities in the russian federation, in particular, this applies not only to airports, but also to oil. storage, let's take the same rostov region and understand that this game can be played by two sides, the russian federation has been very methodical for several months against our energy sector, and accordingly, now the russians feel what a war is like inside themselves, but still this somehow it did not take the form of a claim, a very specific one a claim, i.e. to putin: there are graves, there are black balls, well, which are balanced by the kalina tree, and there is also damage to military infrastructure, yes, that is, military airfields, oil storage facilities, and so on. the rostov region has been on fire for two weeks, there were rumors of possible negotiations through ukrainian and russian mediators in order to refrain from attacks on the infrastructure. i don't

know if such contacts are possible from moscow, but they understand that this is no longer a one-way game. their infrastructure can also be destroyed, that already resembles the iraq-iran war, when the war resulted in attacks on cities, then the iranian ayatollahs had to retreat, but on the other hand, we understand that the iranian ayatollahs are, unfortunately, a stable regime, and if we talk about the negotiating aspect , which we so delicately mention, this is how modi manifested himself, in the rendering of modi, the prime minister of india, i think there were other middle easterners. countries, that is, which demonstrated their readiness, yes, well , apart from qatar, i think there were some or other initiators, in your opinion, yes, but putin and lavrov, they in the public sphere reject this case and repeat their ultimatum, ukraine must give up all its, well not all, but a significant part of its territories, and we

also say publicly that this is impossible, a return to internationally recognized borders, how about... with that. these are irreconcilable positions, this is understood in washington. it is very important that zelensky made this transition. for six months they talked about the peace plan, and now they have moved on to the victory plan. this is a very important factor. this victory plan is supported by the majority of the two parties in congress today, by the way, there will be a very important first press conference of garis tonight, and everyone is waiting for questions about ukraine. i expect very strong wording from her on this. well, the main thing is that she doesn't turn into barack obama on the way out, you know, the democrats sometimes demonstrate such and such miracles. i frankly have no illusions about how much she loves ukraine, but she really wants to win the elections, the situation is such that the chances are almost equal. trump and garis on equal

terms today are fighting for those voters who still doubt. do you know what the main cluster of uncertain votes is now, these are pro-ukrainian republicans, republicans who voted for haile in the primaries. so i hope that harry will make a strong statement and refuse. from biden's statements about escalation and regional war. she needs to win millions of votes of republicans who are hesitant and are firm supporters of ukraine. thank you very much andrii andriyovych for this extremely important conversation on the air of the tv channel. i want to remind our viewers that andrii piondkovskiy, a famous political scientist who is in washington, was working for them now. well, the time of our program is over, stay with the espresso tv channel. my colleagues will see you. to inform about all the most important events of this day, take care of yourself and your loved ones, see you on the air.

watch this week in the judicial control program with tatyana shustrova. qualification assessment of acting judges. who failed the interview with vkks? it was opened. criminal proceedings regarding property, and do all judges underestimate the value of their property? this apartment it is located in a fairly old housing stock. congratulations, you are watching judicial control and i am tetyana shustrova. despite the full-scale war, ukraine continues its path to the european union and does not stop in implementing reforms. in particular, judicial reform. qualification evaluation of judges is ongoing in ukraine, almost two of them have to pass it. thousands of representatives of local and appellate courts, and during the first year of work, the vcks managed to conduct only about 130 interviews, so now it is actively trying

to catch up and announce verdicts, in particular, regarding those servants of themis who want to keep their positions. we will introduce you to the brightest candidates, but first to the news. the supreme council of justice dismissed the judge of the genichesky district court of kherson. oblast natalia sharko, who sided with the occupiers and makes illegal decisions against citizens of ukraine. in particular, she arrested ukrainian lenur khalilov, whom the russians accuse of participating in an illegal armed formation. in 2021, judge sharko sued the state judicial administration for the payment of judicial fees rewards from this lawsuit, it became known that sharko has access to state secrets. but for more than two years, the judge remained, despite cooperation with the russian occupiers. a judge in ukraine and received a salary with all allowances. a video from the wedding of marina barsuk, a judge of the northern commercial court of appeal, appeared online. the recording

was made in 2021. however, he is not interested in celebrations, but in those who came to the pompous entertainment. the wedding is organized on a grand scale, the atmosphere of a real palace, a precious stage design that would be envied eurovision stars. by the way, show ballet, virka serdyuchka, tina ka' spoke about the stars. and others. ukrainian oligarchs pavlo fuchs and ihor kolomoiskyi were seen among the guests. the last old friend of the family. with this friendship, he easily secures victory in court disputes. judge victor barsuk's husband, according to zmi, works in the oligarch's office. marina barsuk has repeatedly made decisions in court cases regarding kolomoiskyi's business. in particular, in 2022, the panel of judges, which included barsuk, upheld the collection from the state budget of almost 2 million hryvnias. in favor of ukrnafta. barsuk was also a member of the panel of judges who considered the case of the alienation of 40% of the shares of the poltava mining and beneficiation plant from

the international company ferexpo. in favor of former owners. these are four offshore companies associated with kolomoisky and his russian associates. the current deputy chairman of the russian state duma, oleksandr babakov, and the president of the central sports club of the russian army, yevhen giner. the ukrainian state bureau of investigation directly called them leaders organized criminal group luzhniki. if a judge plays a wedding for millions of dollars, it would be an ethical violation in any civilized country. the presence of an oligarch, especially the oligarch in whose interests. the judge made a decision, especially in the conditions of ukraine, when judges are usually very reasonably suspected, and often this is simply proven by the facts of working for oligarchs, this would call this judge the very next day, because they called for a very serious conversation, at least to bodies responsible for the ethics and integrity of judges. the oligarch's representatives in the northern commercial court of appeal appealed

to all panels of judges. until the case got to badgers. later, due to the media publicity, barsuk recused herself and the case went to her friend, judge of the northern commercial court of appeal, lyudmila kropyvna, whose panel eventually gave the shares of the company with multibillion-dollar assets to offshore companies connected to kolomoisky and the russians. lyudmila kropyvna, as it turned out, was also a guest at the wedding of the badgers, together with igor kolomoisky. the conflict of interests is obvious because of corrupt judges. oligarchs get access to property, they evade taxes, they get a monopoly on the market, they evade fines for environmental pollution and so on and so forth, and this makes them oligarchs. the presence of an oligarch at a judge's wedding, especially an oligarch once again, regarding whom the judge made a decision, well, this is an absolutely, absolutely unacceptable story. the decision to expropriate the poltava gzk was eventually recognized

as illegal and canceled by the big one. date of the supreme court, and the possible corrupt actions of lyudmila kropyvna began to be investigated by the national anti-corruption bureau, because it was at the time when the judge was resting at the wedding with kolomoiskyi and began the case of transferring the shares of the poltava gzk to the oligarch's companies that she had an elite estate worth in 1 million dollars. qualification evaluation of judges is ongoing in ukraine, an important process for cleaning and reformatting. judicial system of the country. the more qualitatively we implement this reform, the more confidently we will continue our path to the european union. unscrupulous judges are very resourceful in their attempts to avoid evaluation. they get seriously ill just before the interview, come up with other good reasons not to come, go to court, or try to run away from the dismissal into an honorable retirement at the same time. but fortunately most of them do not succeed. so we continue to introduce you to ukrainian judges who have

to confirm. their suitability for the position. this is yuliya burzel, a judge of the yagodinsky district court of the kyiv region, and the members of the commission had a lot of questions about her. the judge has two privatized plots of land nearby kyiv and an apartment in the capital from 2020. however , the judge declared its value to be almost twice less than the market value. this apartment is located in a fairly old housing stock. this house was built in 1938 or 1939. ot. she was in a rather terrible condition. julia burzel works in yagotyn, which is a hundred kilometers from kyiv. she assures that she covered this distance every day to get to work. it turns out that the judge spent more than two hours each day on a one-way trip, and a total of four hours a day for the trip to the court. everyone during the day, i drove cars, minibuses, and

electric trains. in yagotyn, but i could really stay, sometimes at a certain address in the city of yagotyn. in 2015 and 2016, the judge did not declare the corporate rights of her husband, roman svistovich, in two companies. she says she didn't know anything. he just didn't tell me about it. he explained to me that truboil was actually founded by him back in 2012. we did not even know him during this period, and he simply for the reasons that he did not, it did not work, he is no he did not receive dividends from it, he simply forgot to tell me about it, as well as about the top hr agency uz. in general, not only forgetfulness is characteristic of the family members of judge yulia borzel. in 2018, the firm where the judge's husband was co.
