this is such a good, full-fledged game. starting whistle for the belarus national team meeting russia will sound at 16:00, the winner of the trophy will be determined on sunday. my colleagues will have more information at 15:00 on our broadcast. all the best.

this is essentially a socio-political talk show, alena syrovaya, kirill kazakov, today we will talk, well, let’s put it this way, about the place in geopolitics that belarus has been occupying lately, well, this is the last week, we are denied entry, we are allowed to leave, in fact, let's talk about what is happening on our borders in the diplomatic field. if you want to to join our program, point your phone at the qr code that now appears at the bottom of the screen and write a message, we will voice it here on the site, but in order to be aware of what the editorial staff lives outside of this studio, then connect to another qr code, go to the telegram channel essentially. so let's begin! good evening! well, in

general, we have already become accustomed to the fact that for quite a long period of time, the most alarming news comes from our southern borders, where military operations are currently taking place on the territory of ukraine, from our western borders, where, in general, they are constantly trying to escalate the situation, fortunately, to the point of some kind of hot conflicts, the situation has not yet escalated, but at the same time it remains tense, and even here... i will use this word, well, inadequate in some way sense, because it feels like on the other side of the border, but they are constantly coming up with ways to create some problems and inconveniences, why this is being done, i think that today we will try to discuss from different sides to understand, in order to still understand context, but at the same time, anton, a question for you, well, last week we already, as kirill voiced, found out that...

lithuanians are not happy with belarusians and passenger vehicles with belarusian license plates, which means that latvians made such a decision earlier, at the same time we... are entering visa-free for all members of the european union, we are all monitoring resources, yes, queues at the borders continue to be the same as they were, the logical question is, what will happen next, what are you preparing for? we are preparing to provide the same visa-free regime that came into force on the 19th at 8:00 am, the infographics presented the numbers, volume visa-free regime, which was introduced back in 2020 for the european countries that border us, these are poland, latvia, lithuania, i must say that the numbers there are quite impressive, about a million citizens of european states bordering

the republic of belarus visited for this time , our country, for 2 years, well, for a moment , lithuanians are the most, yes, i also analyzed these figures today, 60% are citizens. enter, here, but for legal entities, passenger vehicles with belarusian registration can no longer move around territories for entry into the countries of the european union, they explain all this with a package of sanctions, but it must be said that the structure of the flow

of passenger vehicles has naturally changed, this is especially noticeable in the latvian direction, there is only one checkpoint functioning, now in fact there is no transport there approach to single vehicles for registration in european countries of the european union. anton, did this have any impact on the increase in the number of cars? who are coming to us, or the propaganda that is working there inside, well, do everything possible so that, strictly speaking, why should lithuanians, latvians, poles, estonia, which borders us especially, also prohibit entry, in fact, yes, propaganda really, of course it works, but the numbers, firstly... which we are now discussing with you, speak for themselves, and despite the fact that less than four days have passed since the introduction of visa-free travel for another 35 countries in the european region, here we are already approaching the number 100 - people,

who entered our territory already under the new visa-free regime, these are not necessarily lithuanians, latvians, poles, that is, these are also distant, so-called foreign countries, relatively speaking, a german citizen, he crossed the border from the territory of lithuania, literally an hour and a half after the introduction of a visa-free regime for these countries, then if the person was preparing, yes, the person was preparing, he applied for a visa, well, probably, yes, here it is probably necessary to say something else, i want to note that, after all, without visas, let’s say, for europeans - a little unexpected, there was no big announcement, the decision of the head of state was made and actually immediately implemented, so. therefore, we must understand that the flow will also change in the future, people who planned to visit the republic of belarus have naturally already issued visas in advance and so on, but in the future this situation will change, and i think that those who have returned, returned back to their countries, they will make their own advertisement, talk about

the dictatorship, andreyvich, it will be inconvenient for them to come, that’s the point, that on the one hand there are no visas, on the other hand... these endless queues at the border, both on one side and on the other, we see photographs there, we see shots of cars, it is clear that no complaints, at least no matter how hard i tried to find belarusian border guards and customs officers to work, i didn’t hear there are many people who say that they are really sabotaging the situation in the neighboring countries, now we know in the same way that at lithuanian checkpoints there are these brushes with the inscription that if you don’t leave, you will be recruited and so on, it is occupied by the kremlin, the main one .

means how can anyone come? can’t come with this very visa-free visa? well, it seemed to me that in the question earlier there was a context that... in general they did it, well, in fact, we think about it, because a normal person, i understand perfectly well why we did it, on the one hand we understand that it would be better to do everything the other way around in order to show that we are open, because well, in fact, we are accused of lowering the iron curtain, but on the other hand, a normal person sometimes has the feeling that it’s a tooth for a tooth, tit for tat eye, that is, in this regard, so, okay, let's start with why? well, actually it was a proposal from the ministry of foreign affairs, which we sent to the government. and the government supported this proposal, as a result , a decision was made by the head of state,

which we are discussing here with you today, but i probably wouldn’t want these latest changes regarding the entry of foreigners to be presented as something downright revolutionary and radically, this is another step in line with the liberalization of visa policy of the republic of belarus, if you allow me to return a little to the background, a decree was issued back in the seventeenth year. absolutely true and indeed this is not an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, this is an absolutely conscious

symmetrical action in order to demonstrate once again the openness of our country and so that foreigners can see for themselves what belarusians are like, about that they, that they really are peaceful people, and not some kind of warlike horde and... find their own evidence list of these 35 countries , a foreigner can visit us in belarus unlimited number of times for up to 30 days, the number of days is limited to a total stay during the calendar year of 90 days, well, 3 months is normal, that is , at least for the period for which this decision was made, that is, until the end of the year, well, unfortunately, it’s no longer...

despotic and so on, at the same time, yes, we are opening, we are opening our social networks, yes, we will go out there the center of minsk, we see in in the last few days there has been this queue to sign up in a notebook at the italian visa center to obtain a visa, what is this anyway , i just want to immediately clarify that there is no question that belarusians should not travel there, yes, here are these frames, please, belarusians should not travel there.

this is a response to the sanctions that are imposed against us, to those restrictions for our citizens, when we open our doors, we invite people, that’s what you said, really, come, take a look, get to know us, buy our products, see what we produce, because we are not just open, because we are truly peace-loving, this is how positively not only ours is perceived.

they no longer give for 3 years, for a year, not for a year, but for a month, or for the duration of the request, for the duration of the request, you understand, but in order to get a tourist visa, how much do you have to pay, some pay 400 euros in order just to get a tourist visa and enter europe under a tourist visa alexey, look, this is actually bialystok, i just recently watched a video from the cavalry market from bialystok, that means there everything is closed, and locals say that the belarusians have left and business is dying here. that is , we are essentially saying that when we were told that we are for the backyards of europe, belarus is for the backyards of europe, it turned out that bialystok and vilnius are for the backyards of europe. well, listen, when you always came to belosok, you saw only belarusian license plates, there were no polish license plates, that’s right, because everyone came from the border region, bought goods for themselves, and naturally, the poles felt fine there. it's all over now

the poles don’t know what to do about it, because they invested a lot of money in shopping centers in bialystok, but they stand empty.

i knew that all the evil comes directly from your government, you need to remove the government, then you will have access to the european union, and the most important thing is that many believe in this, but there will be no such wonderful life before admission to the european union, it will be the same as now in ukraine, it seems to me that if the minds there were guided by such reasoning, then our mentality is very bad; they know what we have again.

last literally over the weekend, all this media was all about one thing about the cry of grieger, yes, what happened to him, how he was convicted here, who he is, either a paramedic, or some kind of nationalist, or an extremist, or a terrorist, well, it’s not clear that well, the fact itself is, yes, he was officially convicted, that is, it is, the german ministry of foreign affairs knew about it for a month, but against the backdrop of this they are now starting to, it turns out, raise a fuss, how is it that our citizen was arrested and our citizen is facing death.

soft power is playing, well, most likely we will successfully exchange him, this is diplomacy for some of our soviet intelligence officers, or for someone else, this will happen, because today we clearly understand how to act in the conditions of... when the west is putting pressure on us, and it’s putting pressure on us roughly, it’s putting pressure on us in such a way that, in principle, it doesn’t give us other chances to maneuver and thus show how to successfully emerge, believe me, we often turn all their shortcomings, on the contrary, into our advantage, in this case and visa-free with this recogriger, i’m sure we’ll get out of this situation beautifully, that’s how the west will get out of it, that ’s all for me, let’s, let’s delve a little into the context, here’s alexander vladimirovich, i have a question, in your opinion, why... the latvians were the first to decided to take these prohibitive restrictive measures, i personally assumed that the poles might be the first, but then the latvians suddenly or not so much?

well, my answer seems to be simple, they were the first to make a museum of nazism in riga, so how come everything is logical here, their behavior now that’s it, but it wasn’t the latvians who did it, it’s the elite and the government, who, look who’s there. in this case, this matter is managed, the point is that this visa-free, visa-free, yes, it is essentially a version of diplomatic, border or, as it were, visa aikido, yes, that is, we use their power against them, it’s impossible call the opening of the border an unfriendly or aggressive step, but don’t call visa-free a bad thing, that is, in essence, we have disarmed them.

who's standing in line there? not there belarusian officials are ordinary ordinary citizens, right? so, that is, all these sanctions are western, they are not against the belarusian authorities, in fact, but against these belarusian citizens who usually want to look at the world, take a walk, see, we used to go, citizens of belarus, to drink coffee in vilnius, yes, who is drinking coffee there now in vilnius, no one, well, because this is the same province, even these ukrainians there.

in this case, neither the poles, nor the lithuanians, nor the latvians ever worried about uh, how they say, the face of the european union in this regard, they all the time - harassed, taxed, everyone crossing the borders, because in essence there were always queues, it never happened that i came and crossed, never, all the time there was a queue, all the time it was a problem what, first, the standard, they have 10 cars per hour,

everything else, these people are beaten, these foreign citizens are killed there, you look, everything that we see today from the other side, this has accumulated, this is the experience that they have been acquiring for years, now they just buy it discovered and implemented, they don’t know how to do anything else, and you can literally add, please note that before the covid period, they pursued a good neighbor policy, that

’s what it consisted of, and not vice versa, to focus on getting as much as possible attract young people to you through various universities, give these visas, give more opportunities, conditionally, to travel, see europe, and thereby become imbued with these european values, but starting from the twentieth-twenty-first year, this is not connected there with the events in belarus in the twentieth years, post-covid period, their entire policy in relation to the eastern direction is changing dramatically, well, including... there refugees, migrants, this policy is connected with the fact that at some stage all these corporate political elites realized that they are facing a severe financial and economic crisis, they can cope with this crisis only if they begin to harshly suppress any migration flows, refugee flows, including some pseudo-tourists who then stay there or pseudo students who

too... no, they don’t belong there more or less in italy, come to italy, look at how they treat you, and the famous island of lampedusa, which actually belongs to migrants, this is understandable, but believe me, the continental part of italy is until about the twentieth year they simply tolerated the italians, now they do not tolerate, they said, we understand that we need nationalist dash, nazi leaders

are now coming to power, the question is political, look, they have already calculated that, for example, a belarusian does not need a visa to shanghai with everyone - fees at the airport for about 10 hours to fly for... i think that poland, the climb and the baltic countries, they are playing out the agenda that is beneficial to them, they are playing the role of an outpost between, let's say, next to belarus, in including our allies

russia, the vector that we have chosen, and just recently joined the shanghai cooperation organization, opens up, of course, huge... levels for our country, we are trying to maintain friendly relations with those with whom we can maintain them, and of course, we will knock and open everything doors that are possible, the fact that we have joined

the sco, well, you know, the prospects here are huge, this is the market, people just don’t understand well what it is, why did i start the question with the fact that you can go to shanghai in 10 hours to vilnius over 30, even though the difference in mileage here is very huge, it’s just that... there are those political corporate forces that understand that without belarus, without russia, they cannot move further, so the orban effect has appeared, yes, those forces that support the prime minister hungary,

the prime minister of slovakia, they, yes, they just like political figures, but behind them there is a powerful corporate group, which naturally understands that we need the opportunity to trade with... with eu countries, at the same time receive raw materials from belarus, from russia, yes, we say there oil, gas, but potassium they also need ours, well , they need it, and as a result, the president, understanding these streams that are already coming from there, are signaling, he openly says that our task, despite all these political engagements - the european commission, the european parliament of all other such inadequate politicians, now we need to build a business with those circles that actually have money and actually make decisions.

azerbaijan, because we don’t have a direct route to europe, that is, they can fly in like that, like a frenchman. we will continue to talk about how belarus is now, well, let’s say , not very mirror-like in its opposition to europe’s ban on driving cars without a visa. as a matter of fact, we started talking about shanghai, andrey vecheslavich, the question is, if we go to the east, what are our for example, plans to soften visa laws with the countries of sho, with the countries of asia, i understand that mija is working to ensure that our passport, relatively speaking, is one of the strongest, so that we can travel around the world without visas, well well... colleagues say that this is not the best procedure for obtaining visas in europe and in general in the whole world, but really china is visa-free, then what can we expect? well , it really sounded like it was probably

some kind of justified resentment that we find ourselves we are almost locked in relation to the european borders, but at the same time , galina probably correctly expressed the idea that any conflicts do end, and we are sure that these... temporary situations will eventually open, i wanted it would be that a little sooner than later the borders with europe, but for today, today, this is really one of the key... to china, quite rightly, in the eighteenth

year, relatively far away, we looked ahead, concluding this agreement with china, i think that today china may not allow everyone to do this, but in order to ensure that opportunities for travel are preserved, of course we are actively working on this, for example, from the last few years of agreements, we have an agreement with the same arab emirates , more than visa-free, more than a tourist destination. there is a visa-free agreement with albania, well, the option is probably relative, given the lack of direct direct flights, yes, but then europe, we signed an agreement with vietnam, which we expect that in the very near future it will also come into force, that we will sign it, it will come into force and will work, that we will sign it, we are really working for the long term for the long term as actively as possible with southeast asia, and we want to believe, we expect that we will come out in the end. to sign such an agreement with

thailand, and one should not think that this is somewhere far on the map, but at least according to the statistics that we have, somewhere more than 10,000 belarusians go there every year, with visas for now, for now pay money and so on further, we expect that this procedure will eventually be simplified and it will be easier to travel there too, well , we’ve talked about the good, let’s now talk about the bad, the very good, the very good, yes... large time resources for obtaining a visa,

this is a huge opportunity for us, so we’ll make such an advertisement, and for our citizens to visit china, fly there, get acquainted with their culture, see, but there is one point, i’ll literally note, when you walk around beijing, you must especially somewhere in the center they’ll stop you because you have an understandably slavic appearance, they’ll take you, your passport begins to pucker, why? because they see slavic. foreigners, and how do we ensure

the security of russian borders, we have a union state, after all, they still say, well, they’ve just entered, but our border is open there, yeah, the germans will now go to moscow, they won’t go, because security is at stake in this direction, naturally, in close cooperation with the competent authorities of the russian federation is ensured, well in addition, we inform these same foreigners upon entry that they do not have the opportunity to cross the border into the russian... federation, but, by the way, a feature of this, the latest decision of the head of state, was also the fact that if previously in the visa-free regime , which was visited by poland, latvia and lithuania, it was necessary to return again by ground transport, yes, today this can be done and after flying through the airport, please come by train, fly by plane, we will advertise belavia, buy belavia tickets, well, we they don’t fly to europe, let’s go back.

could you please inform us in a little more detail whether this closure to the passage of ordinary ordinary citizens of belarus is connected with those military manipulations that...

let's just say that where the exercises are taking place, where the bases are concentrated, the presence of civilians and foreigners is limited as much as possible what is even more limiting in these aspects, and this is not only connected with nato countries, this happens in all states, is that today the same baltic countries about which we are talking about what he says about ukraine, that there seems to be some kind of coup d’état that took place in the united states, because it was filmed there through the president’s twitter.

well, this is one of the elements, that is, you understand that everything is still considered as a whole, and intelligence is considered as a whole, look at the ukrainian content on the internet, they are all prohibited for civilians to film anything, post it there on social networks, there in tiktok and so on, everything is prohibited, exactly the same approach here, believe me, if you photograph military installations, it will all end very sadly. look, can i ask you the following question ? literally, well, 2 weeks ago, our president visited...

during the cold war , it was used to actually show that everything is fine here, well, in the soviet union, in our socialist camp, yes, we don’t show it to anyone, we don’t do some kind of pseudo-advertising, we are doing well, you know, this is the most important difference and when they come to us.

welfare country, yes, which is including his wealth can share with poor citizens, that’s right, i agree, remember, that’s what those who left over the last 2 years from the baltic states and poland just ran away say, yes, why did they run away, because the local special services just started pinning them down and howl, they say: our propaganda, their western propaganda openly...

citizens of more western europe can come and so on, and i don’t know whether i’m mistaken or not, but it seems to me that business will react the fastest and has already reacted, then there are people who know how to count money, people who know how to quickly make decisions, as if from the point of view of tourism, we can talk a lot about what a wonderful country we have, but i agree with kirill, they are probably not very interested in us, together with that, but it doesn’t matter very much... there are prejudices regarding belarus and we can smile and laugh as much as we want about what they say there about the fact that we are all

being recruited here, and we may not return from belarus.

that the dprk is almost a hellish country, it remains. i am 100% sure that the same thing applies to belarus. as a tv person, i’ll just say that when there is some news about belarus, it is illustrated with footage from fifteen years ago, cars from fifteen years ago on the streets, trolleybuses from fifteen years ago on the streets, people in the same clothes, or even earlier, they show this, and moreover

you know, they do such color correction as if it’s just about to start raining . this is what people live with, so how can we overcome it? well, i just want to emphasize once again that if their media is not they show a picture, then this picture is shown by people who from here are already trying to demonstrate this matter on social networks, they boast about being here, about what they saw, that is, foreigners are boasting about our country, you know? you can’t think of anything better than how to penetrate the information space of another country, well, now it will start again, you know, they have already started sorting out, if someone speaks well, returned from belarus, but in a conditional polish, it means that he is no longer like this, they start completely he is, god forbid, more or less some kind of public person,

it is impossible to disembowel his biography, his beliefs, and so on, what connects him with our country. planes don’t fly from europe, yes, if you get here through istanbul, well, it’s really long, you have to enter by car, checkpoints have been reduced to a minimum, the queues are wild, we also know how lithuanians and poles work, that is, on the one hand, we’re kind of opening up, on the other hand, europe has introduced so many obstacles in order to enter here. on the part of europe, you just have to try there, that’s what they will say, so why, by the way, polish businessmen, they start raising questions, they say: we don’t need your compensation, we want to make money in belarus, and this can be done only if the border is opened, again, public diplomacy, the people as their self-government, which will demand from their authorities, that

is, it turns out to be a boomerang. they tax us so that we can have something, and we create a social turmoil for them, discontent arises in the first place there’s a queue there, that’s why there are repeaters at the border, that’s right, what’s this for, here are more elegant methods, here are repeaters, anton, in the border zone they put up billboards in polish, a check, they also generally work, somehow there’s some the feedback in general from how this was established, and we still have excellent feedback at the checkpoint in the lithuanian direction.

strangle europe as a competitor strangle china, so yes, attention will be switched from europe to the asia-pacific region, but this does not mean that... the number of sanctions in in relation to sovereign states will decrease, well, that’s right, under trump there were so many sanctions in relation to women, then it will be difficult for america to understand what will happen, especially how she laughs, and panicky, well , it’s a pity that the second second dialogue between the two will not take place presidential debates, yes, because if, firstly, biden mentioned belarus, he was very worried about our existence, then trump, i think he still has to learn everything about our beautiful republic, yes, i think we will write in . as they say, in the history of our relationship with western countries, but unfortunately, today there is an escalation, it still continues on our borders, this is evidenced first of all by those exercises, and even by the fact that today

bombers landed in romania for the first time b-52s, which carry nuclear weapons, are ahead, i think, to conclude these exercises, which andrei petrovich, and we, andrei petrovich, are responding to all this with public diplomacy, and we have something to respond to, and not only public diplomacy, if necessary . will be necessary, but at the same time we prefer to act elegantly, and not as decoration, because the facts are on the table, well, we have another reason to be proud of wonderful belarus and...
