politicians and everyone said: you see, the sanctions do not work. now we're entering the fall of 2024, when, after the december decision by the us on secondary sanctions, it's quite clear that the sanctions have started working again, and they 're working in a big way, because the financial system is taking a big, big hit. the allies are really making it clear that they will not bypass banking sanctions and go to meet russia. this applies to turkey and china, and the countries of central asia, which are currently taking these measures. thus, it is now clear that putin failed to achieve through his diplomacy, for india or china to make some kind of compromise. this is quite important. it is clear that the central bank of russia is currently assessing the situation.

inflation does not stop, and the rate of the central bank has stopped influencing the situation, and everyone there understands this, among the economic authorities, in other words, not everything is mechanistic, this is how the economy reacts every time. now there will be some second stage of adaptation, but it will be a more difficult stage for putin, which will not be easy to cope with. plus, right now there are reports that sanctions against the merchant fleet are still to come. that is, not only that, the kremlin has big problems with planes as a result of all the aggression, with civilian planes, and with civilian transportation. problems on the railway. now

, what previously seemed impossible, sanctions against the merchant fleet have been announced. and it will continue to develop. we have no doubt that if the kremlin does not move in the direction of de-escalation, then sanctions not only on britain and the usa will become more and more painful. so i would say that one should look without great optimism and at the same time not think that the resources of russia inexhaustible of course, this is not the case, and it cannot be assumed that russia has some kind of unlimited human resources, because qualified military personnel are really, as you rightly said, scarce and cannot be trained quickly. and this applies to the navy, aviation, and so on and so forth. and today...

and means of communication, that is, everything that defines war. war today is very little defined, we see it by infantry, not trained infantry. today, the entire image of war that is being demonstrated is completely different, so the kremlin is not doing well here. i thank you, oleksandr, for this extremely interesting and informative conversation on the air of the tv channel, i want to remind our viewers that oleksandr was working for them now. morozov, political analyst, political scientist who is in prague. the time of our program has run out, stay with the espresso tv channel, my colleagues will inform you about all the most important things that are happening both in ukraine and in the world. take care of yourself and your loved ones, do not ignore the air alarm signals, with god, and see you on the air.

an unusual look at the news. good hello, ladies and gentlemen, my name is mykola veresen, sharp presentation of facts and competent opinions. for example, if mykola veresen. if he did that, he would go to prison, a special view of the events in ukraine, so it is not necessary to say that the fish rots from the head, no, not from the head and beyond, then who is china, my heart hurts , all this in an informational marathon with mykola veresny, saturday 17:10, sunday 18:15 at espresso. friends, congratulations, let's talk. today about cinema and a lot about music and those films that are currently representing ukraine abroad, but let's start with our cinema, the local one that happened in our country, one of the most important events that took place this week, is the distribution

of golden breaths, it is probably the most prestigious, well, in my opinion, at least the most a publicized film award in ukraine, and now it was handed out quite modestly, i must say that in general... after the full-scale invasion, cultural events, film events take place quite modestly, many organizers generally refuse the red carpet, the black carpet, and they just take pictures next to the banner, it is not considered a path at all, but the golden dzigs were handed out for three years, for two days they gave out this award, you can see how it happened, just here the moviegoers gathered in the hall, you see fili fili.. . sotnichenko with his young son leo, his wife, valeria sochovets, they took the greatest pride with their film la polisiade, but why were they giving out awards for three years, because during the full-scale invasion , the organizer was not so ceremony, i will say

that the year before last , the film stop zemlya by kateryna gornostaya took the most statuettes, and now we can watch excerpts. i 'll tell you about them, kateryna gordotstai made a film about teenagers, here we see a slapstick, well, let's talk about it, it's a film that will compete for an oscar, this year from ukraine, it tells about the 90s and, well, actually the last case of the death penalty in ukraine, this is the main character we see, it was he who executed him, his character, flip satnychenko filmed a rather complex work, this is what we expected from him, he is called one of the smartest, most gifted ukrainian directors, there he is compared to many famous people, and we can expect really cool films from him, i think you will recognize the shots, because this is dolbush, the performer of the role

of dolbush's brother, oleksiy grandkovsky received his award, the film also received six awards, it seems. for the hryvnia, for the costumes, for the camera work , serhii mykhalchuk, one of our best cameramen, and he is now a military man, he also shoots various documentary footage during the war, and we see this for 20 days in mariupol, this was the most anticipated moment of the ceremony, because because the film won both in the category of the best documentary feature film and the best film, it was clear that in the other nominees were also worthy of us, but here we understand that the oscar laureate, how can you compete with him, and yevhen maleletka, one of the authors of this film, went to collect the award, now we see stop the ground, stop the land received 11 statuettes

except last year and only now, kateryna gornosta and the whole team have already physically taken away these statuettes, a film about teenagers, we have many, many such tapes. this film is so quiet, but it drags on, this is one of its most striking characteristics, when it was released, many people wrote that nothing special is happening, but the film drags on, well, it’s definitely a pom-pom, a pom-pom took also 11 statuettes, this is the most already last year and also the team just now managed to take all 11 of them, the film was shown in cannes tape. was also released in the ukrainian box office, but collected almost 12 million hryvnias there, it could have been collected more, as the producers say, it's just that at that time ukrainians were still a little afraid to go to the cinemas, because blackouts, shelling, we did not go to the cinemas so actively, then somehow they started

to restore this process, but as for pamphyr, we know from the discussions surrounding it, which were provoked by oksana zabushko, i always adore... such mass discussions, even about matters surrounding ukrainian culture in general, because it seems to me that it always is it's normal, when we discuss something of our own, we present something of our own... opinion, then ms. oksana wrote a rather complimentary post about this film, she generally liked it, but she noted that from her point of view the houses are too dirty there, because it is about a man, the main character of pomfir, who travels to earn money, but what about the dirty houses of a person who travels to earn money and earns money, in general, we do not have or have few such dirty houses, and i want to say , that this action is taking place in chernivtsi, in general on... bukovyna, and i really drove there many

times and i saw exactly the same houses, so you know, not always what we don't like on the screen, it's not always something that doesn't exist, in fact, the tape also found many of its own fans, there is a wonderful visual part, as you remember, you must watch such films in the cinemas in order to fully appreciate them, but there was also that, there was also... controversy surrounding the main character, they say, he not as strong as we would like, he still presents himself, positions himself as in the end a weak character who gives up before the challenges of fate, but other viewers objected, said that they have a completely different perception, in a word, it's always very interesting, interesting discussions, and this is another indicator of success, and films are gold mines , i... congratulate all the laureates of this award, all the nominees, but i suggest

you listen to oleksiy hnetkovsky's speech, because many people gave such shorter speeches, and oleksiy went out and just, first of all, he congratulated his wife olga on her birthday, thank you and said that without her nothing would have happened at all, but he also emphasized several points that he thinks are not very correct. let's listen to him, i would really like to speak ukrainian on the filming sites , and not katsap, i would really like, for us to be equal to a high, to a high level of art, western, ukrainian, i would really like for us to love kurbas, not stanislavsky, i would really like for... us to have a ukrainian, great ukrainian way of thinking, because the first entered and

began to attack us not with tanks and not rockets, first came dostoevsky, tchaikovsky, first came bulgakov, er, language came, and now we have occupied territories in our minds, and there are no russian-speaking ukrainians, there are russian-speaking ukrainians, i would like if we gathered here now . film community, it is our task to defend our territory in the minds and fight for souls, this is such a rather pathetic speech, but i can agree with oleksiy on many points, firstly, the russian language is often heard on film sets and in general from people of culture , and i was still there very recently at the presentation of the tape, how ukrainians spoke ukrainian, this is a tape from the public and oleksiy hnetkovskyi there... was the narrator or host of this film or the main character, he talked about the history

of the ukrainian language, and the film is not bad enough, it seems to me that more for teenagers, by all means, show this film with your children and teenagers, but at the presentation of this film, they said that even in the ministry of culture they allow themselves to speak russian now, well, during the work process, i don't mean private some communication, but... i just can't believe it, let me remind you that minkol has now been updated not only with a new minister, but also with a new name, it is no longer called the ministry of culture and information policy, but the ministry of culture and strategic communications, many conversations around this, and about the fact that the new minister is a diplomat, in culture he is, well, they say that it is understandable, because he was involved in the organization of various cultural events abroad, but this is certainly not the level that we want to see from the minister . and on the other hand they say that to the office of the president and specifically

to the president himself, culture is a little less important than these strategic communications, that's why the new minister will sort of deal with this, but let's not talk in advance, we've already discussed him, we'll see what he will do, but here's the story with golden digs, and now we move on to another much -discussed cultural event, these are the concerts of klaudia petrivna. if you think that we have discussed them for three days and that's it, then no, because the story continues. let me remind you that 30-31 klaudia petrovna gave concerts in the palace in august. of sports, it was an unprecedented event, because the debutant, whom almost no one had seen yet, gathered so many people, gathered the palace of sports, 1,600 spectators came, and the organizer of these concerts is dmytro feliksov, he is the co-founder of origin team and concert ua

of these two companies, which are engaged in such events, he said that... the income from the sale of tickets, it would be accurate to say, amounted to approximately uah 10 or 10.5 million, but unfortunately, it was not possible to obtain profits, on the contrary everyone is at a loss, why, he tells me, is because the concerts were arranged, firstly, they were quite large-scale, they were both, and secondly, he says that a lot of equipment has now been taken abroad, and in general, everything is quite expensive and. .. and in fact, the cost of renting it has also increased, and that is why they calculated after the concerts that they did not manage to earn a single penny at all, in general, there are already many musicians, for example, world ones, they generally treat such big shows, expensive and large-scale, first for everything is for image purposes, and

not for earning, although earning is that too it is very important, after all, it is a business, but the main purpose of such shows... well, as it were , to promote artists, although it must be said that even in such countries, where everything is in order with the legislation, with copyright and there is no, or there piracy is at a low level, musicians are able to earn a lot from the sales of their music, from streaming, from royalties, all this is not yet well developed, so in general, our artists earn, it was before, and it remains so now on various his concerts at... such large-scale at various corporate parties, but you see, let me remind you that dmytro feliksov says that it is like this, okay, we will perceive these concerts as an image project, and there will be more concerts by the same klaudia petrivna, to think, well, taking into account the fact that somehow it is necessary to reduce all expenses for these concerts. let me remind you that

i was standing around klaudia petrovna for not even three days, but much longer. i will not be afraid of this word, again, srach, because many people, many people did not like her image, because i will remind you, klavdia petrovna hid her face, it was such a mysterious, mysterious image that worked very well, but later, when klavdia petrovna showed her face at concerts to many people, well, if these are any rude comments at all, then many people wrote there that something was wrong. .. so with her appearance, from their point of view, although in reality everything is like that, and other people more correctly said that the image does not match the image that was positioned, so they are a little bit spontaneous or confused, but after this series of criticism and there was more a bigger, more powerful series of defenses of klaudia petrovna, and just a huge number of people

got behind her and said that all the concerts were great, klaudia petrovna is incredible, and... and what i didn't like most about it all was what a lot of people wore, you know , such white coats and started talking about the fact that we have a nation of haters, we have a nation of just some abnormal people, not people, people who do not have any empathy and are ready to simply tear everyone apart in social networks, and that they say this only in ukraine this happens and i want to say that these people who say that, they... obviously do not see what is happening in social networks in other countries, because exactly the same thing is happening, we also have a lite version, because if you look at what is happening in the united kingdom, for example, and how there they spy on their stars, how does the yellow press work there, how does it really affect celebrities, not like here with the almost absence of the institution

of reputation, and i think you felt the difference. remember if you watched the documentary about david beckham, which is called beckham, he was just complaining how he was destroyed by the press of britain, and the public too, so we are still very good and good, but as another example, i will tell you about how linken park fans are now fighting because of the new vocalist of this band, i will remind you that this is such a legendary band , who stopped his... his concert activity at least, well, seven years ago, and now they 're back with a new singer, and... she, her name is emily armstrong, and she was just a few days ago, there were concerts, she there she spoke, and under posts in social networks, there

on youtube you can see just the same grandiose, grandiose fight that we had around klaudia petrovna, only around klaudia petrovna there was more appearance, image, here a comparison with the former frontman, many people write that she is new... not enough to his level, others say no, on the contrary, she is completely different. let me remind you, chester bennington, the former vocalist of linkin park, here we see him now, a legendary personality, he unfortunately committed suicide, he had depression, and his death was once very drew attention to this topic, because people who suffer from various depressive disorders, they very often put their hands on themselves, and chester bennington in principle. during his lifetime he managed to explain in many interviews why this happens, why people die and even often are not helped

by medical treatment, and at that time there were still a lot of stereotypes surrounding this disease, many drew parallels: depression - it means a very bad mood, although it is not so, it is a problem that is treated with pills, various drugs, unfortunately, here because of thugs... taking a new participant is always risky, because practically no matter who you choose, there will be people who will say that it's not the same, it used to be better, plus we don't forget, in principle, people very often well, that's how they react to something new, not very well, they want something familiar, and that's why the reaction to... it's the same, but in the end i'll say that this is not the first time in the history of music that the frontman or frontwoman

has been changed, but come on let's just listen to the same song, one of the most popular from linken park, and how it was performed by chester bennington and now lily armstrong. my own illusion, lost all my dignity, living inside my own confusion, i'm lost in these memories, living behind my own illusion, love on that dignity, living and

well, lincoln park is going to record, or rather, release a new album, and this clearly shows that they are not going to just restate on their previous musical output, and it is risky from that point of view. that while performing old hits lily will be born once in a while comparison, and they are releasing a new album and eyewitnesses are counting on some new sound and already on the personality, some vocal features and any others, it is lily and it will obviously be a slightly different band, it is interesting to watch this, because the members of the band said that they well, they just immediately understood that lily is their performer, and she is absolutely fine with them, they will support her. and i will say that in our music there are also such various replacements, probably that most often the vocalist, the replacement of the vocalist who is no longer there,

happens with the band gadyukin brothers, after after serhiy kuzminskyi died, there were many concerts where various famous ukrainian musicians sang songs, well, this is not a replacement, of course there was, these are covers, i really like them, like elsa's ocean. and they sang, come to me in omostysk, probably the biggest, but now a cool story was at the kyiv bookfest, how irma vitovska and ryma zyubina became the vocalists of the hadyukyn brothers for one evening, look at the social networks, it’s all spreading, they are very cool there yellow ribbons sang, and a very very good replacement, she accepted, i think they could go on tour in this line-up. i will also remind you that one of the most striking replacements of the frontman took place with the band queen. i was immediately skeptical about this

because i'm a big fan of both queen and fred. mercury, but he's been replaced by what i think is a decent enough candidate, his name is adam lambert, now we can look at him, at least that's what he looks like, he's good enough in his image, he looks like freddie mercury, at least he's got also such a little bit of such eccentricity in the style of his clothes, etc he really has a very interesting voice, he used to be... a contestant, it seems, this american one won, or the voice, this talent, the talent show, some american, so popular enough, and the queen participants also said in interviews that they 've been looking for a replacement for a very, very long time, and a replacement for freddie melkori, and there have been different replacements at different times, but they didn't really suit them one way or another, neither did the fans, and andam lambert suits them, probably the most, i

think after all, he... is also similar to freddy in many moments, but still, how i don't like this guy, but from my point of view, you can't replace freddie mercury, although on the other hand , no one here, for sure, is not trying to replace anyone, it's always a losing move when you want some great personality, just copy it. adam lambert doesn't do that, from my point of view, he remains himself, but still mercury was so... bright, both in terms of vocals, and in behavior, and in his personality, in terms of charisma, well, just me it seems that almost everyone, well, if a person, any, who would didn't choose, no matter what talented guy or girl they chose, it will still be, you know, constant comments, something is not enough, but that's how everyone has their own opinion, let's also compare the same song, how it is sung by two vocalists

well, and about the super-influential, mega-influential, simply catastrophically influential, cosmically influential stars of show business, of course taylor swift, her post after the debate, the american

pre-election debate, is simply blabbering. all over the media, because taylor swift supported kamala garis, it was one sided predictably absolutely, but because she has long supported the democrats, and why it became so important, because taylor swift finally wrote openly, because before that she was so much more veiled, not so clearly supporting kamala harris and the democrats, here she is definitely marked all this. in particular , she wrote in her post: you see, with a cat, donald trump's trolling with cats continues, well, she wrote that she decided to finally openly say that she supports kamalukaris, because because there were such slips on the part of donald trump and , well, actually his campaign headquarters, they took a picture of taylor swift with artificial intelligence, saying that she supports him, well

, it was somehow already very stupid, because , well, that's enough 10 minutes for taylor swift to announce that this is not her photo, why it was not clear, but less so, i will explain why this post on instagram became so important, because taylor swift, she is not just a famous and popular singer, she is very famous and she is so famous that can really influence the course of the election campaign, because she has, well, first of all... fans from all over the world, but a lot of fans, but now we can look at her, and she has a lot of fans in the states, while because such, you know, nuclear fanatics, the nuclear electorate, that is, people who will trust her without any checks, without any critical remarks, she is simply an idol, and whatever she says, people will do, at least a really large part of people do.
