and new export restrictions against almost 100 organizations on the eve of the second anniversary of russia's large-scale invasion of ukraine and after the death of alexei navalny, and the sanctions are aimed at making putin pay an even bigger price for his aggression abroad and repression at home, said the statement of the president of the united states of america, joseph biden, which was released by the white house. what, in your opinion, mr. valery, the sanctions could be too painful for russia, and why are they still too painful? sanctions have not yet been introduced by the united states of america against the russians. if we talk about the introduction of sanctions, this is one of the elements of pressure on the economy of the aggressor country, and it is connected with the fact that, this is what we hear in stages, some separate ones, with the fact that in general it is a violation of the charter and the second

article of the un charter behind him, the third, he essentially drags behind him. embargo, that is, it is a complete ban on trade, due to the fact that russia, which has no right to be in the un now, therefore that we know that it seized this place after the soviet union, it blocks all this, and therefore there is no embargo, and here we see such constant introductions of some packages there, dedicated to something, firstly, it is positive that it is, and after all, sanctions play their role. the second point is that the policy on sanctions has not really changed, you see, they are introduced in packages, they foresee some kind of response, in fact, it is precisely the timing of sanctions to some subsequent violations, well, in this case, they really tied it to part of the sanctions in connection with by murder navalny's political opponent in russia,

by the way, if anyone didn't care, but this is a serious... signal for the whole world, which should already lead to recognition in the usa, at least in russia, as a sponsor of terrorism, and in general, well, it's about time that is, if they said no before, there is something that will create problems, i think that such an action would be much more significant than all these sanctions, why? because the sanctions have been introduced , many of them are avoided, we can see it by what comes to us, and unfortunately, there is one of its own. chip deliveries, fresh parts, incl american , so the most important, more important task now is to close the loopholes in those countries that allow the russians to circumvent sanctions, this is, firstly, secondly, still such countries as, well, in particular india, for example, which receives russian oil products, then it processes and sells in

the usa in the form of already processed, and sells oil, oil products, well... such things must be closed somehow, because i think that everyone perfectly understands that these holes must be closed, well, there are still such in the usa has certain exceptions that it does not want to introduce, therefore that it hits not only the aggressor, but also very strongly hits some sensitive sectors in them, well, for example, they still get it and uranus from there, and a lot of things, so i would say, here the question is not to change the approach , it is necessary not to add timing, but... if there are really any subsequent violations, it is necessary to conduct an anticipatory policy of maximum blocking, where you have already prepared, there are really no, well, there are economic losses, we understand that, but we, ukrainians, ukraine invest more to counter this aggression in europe, i.e. people's lives, that's why all of them the explanation should already be left in the past,

that we are losing economically there, we should be there where we are ready without really such serious losses. it is necessary to press one's side there as much as possible and concentrated in time, therefore it is necessary to change approaches, to change the timing, scope, and introduction of sanctions, well , it is already ripe for nuclear energy, russia is developing, rosa feels very easy there in all directions, that is, it is ripe for that's why there are lnzh in europe, well, there are many such things that should have been introduced yesterday, well , unfortunately, unfortunately, there are problems here, but that's all we must say that nevertheless, signals are being sent to moscow in such a way that there will be no deviation from such a policy, well, mr. valery, you mentioned india, which processes russian oil, and then transports oil products to the united states states of america, it

's not a secret for the americans, i understand correctly, they clearly understand what kind of oil it is, and well, i think that they accurately count the amount. of produced oil in the world and perfectly understand who forms this market, that is, well, they deliberately buy from india's petroleum products, which are actually russian, there, in my opinion, 13 million tons of oil or something like that per year, if i'm not mistaken, well , you know, i, as a ukrainian, would like to change all this, well, at least the explanation is always that that what is not covered by the sanctions policy is allowed. what is not forbidden is allowed, well, this is the story, it should be absolutely the opposite, i say that such and such an attack in europe on a sovereign country and previous ones. the decision of the un and the un security council is a complete embargo without any exceptions, without country exceptions, a global embargo, unfortunately, it was not possible to achieve this, and for this we

have such a gradual line, russia, let's face it, they are adapting to this, so the situation there is not improving, but two years of adaptation, in two years of a full-scale war, they have already adapted found workarounds, took cover somewhere there... with their production, and this will destroy their economy in the medium term, but we don't have that many years, there are three to five, we need solutions this year, and it's already starting, you know, to not really be as effective as concentrated in time, therefore, everyone understands everything, but look at how long, how long they have been leaving russia, or not even all of them... have left russian business until now, they are still there and large funds, unfortunately, did not leave there immediately either, so these corporations and rosa there, gazprom

, huge amounts of foreign investors were invested there, well, today i can say that they have decided strategically, they are leaving russia, but this is happening over a long period of time, we know cases of such an open nature, where trade networks or some kind of production, then... somehow there, explaining their line, they continue to make money, in fact, on such a war, in fact, they make money on this market, from which others have left, for them it is actually a monopoly, some companies are western there, which remain, and i do not i will say that we have the usa here more than anything, there to pay attention, the usa, on the contrary, is the leader of the consolidation of the sanctions policy, in fact. mr. valery, on the eve of the introduction of united states sanctions. america vs. russia joe biden met with the wife of a russian opposition figure oleksiy navalny yulia and his daughter dasha. this is how he commented on this meeting.

this morning i had the honor of meeting with the wife and daughter of alexei navalny. obviously, he was a man of incredible courage. and it's amazing how his wife and daughter follow suit. we will announce sanctions against those responsible for it. death, and i understood that julia intends to continue to fight, go to the end and not give up. in the west, there was a rather sharp reaction to the assassination of oleksii navalny by vladimir putin, and there were many statements and assessments of what happened in the russian federation, but we know that part of the opposition is in prison in russia, part is somewhere in europe, in lithuania, latvia, in particular, well... that is, outside of russia, in your opinion, is the russian opposition in exile capable of changing russia ? of course, no, unable

, because we have seen it in history, it already happened when the authoritarian regime, dictatorial, well, let me remind you, and the same fascist period, in nazi germany, that is, at first the repressions unfolded gradually. they related at first well there political opponents in essence, then jews, roma, various groups of minorities , people of non-traditional orientation, and so on , and it all started with this, first concentration camps were created for such people, then it turned into systemic politics, and in russia in principle, there was also a period when you... a lot of them, well, you can say millions, and they left, so in principle , even within the same forces that were there, when at least 70 thousand were going to the marshland there,

that’s already no, but from the outside they are still there there is no certainty about the strategy, they had such a position, i see the main thing, here is putin, his ukraine will break, because it is unfair. and aggression, and we will later , after that, when putin is defeated, we will return to russia, we will build a new russia, it absolutely does not work in the current conditions, i am grateful to those russians for their citizenship there, who are fighting on the side of ukraine, the armed forces of ukraine, and in principle, this is the only effective option that can be said today, even to those who surrender. and then takes a weapon, realizing that with russian propaganda did it, everything else, this is all in exile, well, it is necessary, because sooner or later some kind of

regime change will be needed. but i will say that there is less hope that changes will occur to the regime itself now, more in such a situation, now, well , is there any hope for a forecast, it is hypothetical, very small today in terms of, say, the percentage of reliability, but rather now, i think, it will some fragmentation in russia itself, due to the ineffectiveness of the regime's actions. and the inability to withstand the challenges of society on this agreement that as long as we pay you , you buy products there, we can wage the war we want and wage propaganda, but until this model is broken, i think it is unlikely that these oppositionists in exile will change something, although i say again, that they are doing their part of the work, you see, well...

how would i, for example, as a citizen of ukraine, i would like the president of the united states, who is helping ukraine, who is currently promoting the solution from the aid package, met with the wives and husbands of our dead, well soldiers and women and children who died, i would very much like navalny, well, despite all his role there, well, he, compared to what is happening in ukraine, is completely, completely. not the same story, maybe it is hyped up, so individually, yes , it is highly hyped up, he has already made his own contribution to history, but what is against this background, well , somehow, it is definitely not just a tragedy that is being forgotten, but what is unfolding now in even more killings of people are unfolding in ukraine, in fact genocide, which creates, even if the international court there does not recognize it, but we we see official russian statements to destroy.

of ukrainians in essence, that is, to destroy the country , to destroy ukrainians, i believe that this is much more threatening than what is being discussed, these meetings are now in the white house, although they are necessary, because in america, you know, there is attention to such individual stories , and we have to think about it, i would really like president joseph biden to meet right now with our brave women who are fighting, well if it's... we can there in terms of the situation, i think we can find a solution with our wounded, which including the united states states are being treated, that is, such , in my opinion, impressions of the balance are not enough now, you have already mentioned the statements that testify to the intentions of the russian leadership to destroy ukraine and ukrainians, and this week there was also

a statement from dmitry. the deputy head of the security council of the russian federation, who spoke about what was next, that kyiv is a russian city, and they will take it sooner or later, and odesa is a russian city, and that we are not at all unclear what kind of state ukraine is, and not it is clear who the ukrainians are, if there are any there, against their policy, they can get nuclear weapons and hit kyiv, berlin, and london, well, that is... he said a lot, and putin continued medvedev's rhetoric in greeting the so-called on defender of the fatherland day, the russian dictator announced that russia had almost 100% upgraded its strategic nuclear weapons. let's listen to what putin said. taking into account real combat experience, we will continue to comprehensively strengthen the armed forces,

ensure their... nuclear forces have already reached 95%, and the naval component of the nuclear triads almost 100%. serial production of new zircon hypersonic missiles has begun, tests of other strike systems are being completed, by the way, joe biden called it another su'. the son of a madman there, who has gone mad, and is there any mechanism for you, mr. valery, to avoid this madness and the implementation of these crazy ideas that putin and medvedev have? well, if we talk about these statements again there with a nuclear club, then the first thing i will say is that what medvedev is doing is completely...
