georgeal, evene hershkovich, who was dismissed for this exchange and... there were other known hostagesf american citizenship, a former naval officer, our colleague from radio liberty and here... now let's look at the american interest. it was very important for joseph biden to release these people during his presidency, because the biggest nightmare of any american president is what happened to jimmy carter. in the last period of his term, jimmy carter conducted negotiations with iran on the release of american diplomats who were then held hostage by the american and iranian leadership in tehran. and he spent practically all the work on it. his administration was successful, but then in november, as always happens in the united states, jimmy carter lost the election to ronald reagan, and the iranians released these people on the day of ronald reagan's inauguration, and biden, of course, wanted to prevent that from happening anyway, first, to make it happen during his term, and second, to make sure it doesn't happen, you know, he did all the work, and... trump won the election suddenly

of an american green card, including marine paul vilen, wall street journal correspondent evan hershkovich, radio liberty journalist alsu kurmasheva, and politician volodymyr karamorza. the kremlin also handed over five more germans and seven of its citizens. instead , eight russians returned to russia, including keeler vadim, who was serving a life sentence for the murder of a chechen commander in germany. from moscow's side, this was the main condition of exchange. and the espresso tv channel and the vesna charitable fund opened a fundraiser for the purchase of modern drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigade, the 110th and 47th brigades of the armed forces of ukraine. the defenders in the donetsk direction hold back enemy attacks every day. they defend our freedom and future. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction in the spring. the brigades urgently need flying weapons and modern means of countering enemy drones. our goal is uah 3.5 million. with your help , we have already collected almost 400 thousand hryvnias.

clear that it's good that they got freedom, it's good that the wall street journal journalist evan hershkovicheased, but the fact that the killers, who are behind them, and world-class spies. who were hunted by the special services of both american and european countries, they went to their homeland again and were met there as heroes, so they are still promised to be rewarded for loyalty to the homeland, for loyalty to the oath, well , what happened happened, and i have a logical question : and this is the last such exchange, maybe? there will be some more exchanges in that regard, and well, that's how it is in ukrainian self-love, it hits quite hard, yes, first of all, we learn about very deep and long-term interstate contacts between the kremlin and the white house, this story is in the first place for me here. thank you, ulya, remind our viewers that we... during the entire broadcast, we are conducting a survey, we ask you, friends, about this, do you expect gold medals from ukrainian olympians? yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube, yes, no, if you watch us on tv, pick up your sma

here's how our colleague from the wall street journal, evena hershkovich, who was released in this exchange, others were known hostages for american citizenship, a former marine, our colleague from radio liberty, and here, now let's look at the american interest, here's to joseph biden it was very important to release these people during his presidency. because the biggest nightmare of any american president is what happened to jimmy carter. jimmy carter negotiated in the last period of his term with iran for the release of american diplomats who were then held hostage by the american, iranian leadership in tehran, and he did practically all the work on this exchange, his administration was successful, but then in november, as it always is in the united states, jimi. lost the election to ronald reagan and the iranians released these men on the day of ronald reagan's inauguration. and biden , of course, wanted to prevent such a situation in any case. first, that it should happen during his term of office. the second thing is that it doesn't happen, you know, that he did all the work, and the

i assume it is quite realistic that the element of even hershkovich's return was, well, agreements withussian special services about the fact that the wall street journal... will be quite instrumental in promoting such materials, this is, i'm sorry, classic realpolitik, i certainly wouldn't want to be accused of leveling the influence of the western media, i think its it is difficult to level because of its competitive nature, but when more than once and more than twice authoritative western media promoted the theses of the russian language. gandas, it is not by chance, and they, in my opinion, these theses, which are widespread, also testify to the interesting fact that the popularity of valery zaluzhnyi remains high, and russia is interested in driving a wedge between zaluzhny and zelenskyi and leveling zelenskyi's influence is a long mountain, they played it and highlighted it in those days when zaluzhny was still there. it is no accident, that is, we must understand that for russia it does not matter who is the president, who is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, they see u
