, who stated that 19,500 ukrainian children were forcibly deported to the territory of the russian federation, and only 388 children, as of now, succeeded. return home, these numbers show that we have to do more - khaja alib stressed, and with the fact that exactly what needs to be done in order to speed up this process, khadjelabib stated, that is why a meeting of the ministers of justice, member states of the european union with the ukrainian prosecutor general andriy kostkin was held in brussels, where the immediate plans were actually discussed. khadzhiladib emphasized that the union really cooperates in this process with the international criminal court, the european institutions eurojust and europol are working, and also last year the center for prosecution for crimes of aggression against ukraine in the city of the hague began work. also to the deputies addressed the vice-president of the european commission

next to sumy oblast, deputy commander of the legion of freedom of russia maximilian. in an address to the russians, caesar announced that the rebels intend to prevent putin from usurping power in the country in the future. let's listen to a small fragment of caesar. we are going to free you from poverty, poverty and fear, to free you from the dictatorship of the terrorist organization that seized power. give your children a normal, civilized future without sanctions. without repression, without elections without choice and without talking about important things, but with important values, and most importantly - without war. mr. pavle, do such raids by russian, i emphasize, russian volunteers on the territory of the russian federation bring our victory closer? well, this is history, unfortunately,

long-term insurance, it usually works in terms of creation. a sense of insecurity, but an even greater feeling that the war must be on the territory of the russian federation, and that the russian regime it will not be possible to transfer it to our territory, and the further it goes, the greater will be the scale, logic and in fact the depth of this answer, but at the same time, unfortunately, i have to disappoint those who hope that all these stories will affect putin's election, i don't know , is it a presidential election in the classical sense, probably not, but putin’s election, of course yes, there i think that almost everything has already been planned, and at least these days everything

is definitely under control there, so this story ... is unlikely to start wave of instability in days elections and after the elections, but strategically, of course, this is a story that gives many russians the understanding that the war, in fact, is not only somewhere out there, it is here, and in this, in my opinion, there is a sense of what is happening, but taking into account the scale of this raid, the fact that... russian volunteers entered the territory of the kursk and belgorod regions, previously they entered the territory of the bryansk regions, as far as this can cause some kind of resonance at least in the regions neighboring these regions, that is, well, what resonance can be from these raids, in my opinion, here the story is not about

some local resonance, here the story is precisely about... the fact that the war is on the territory of the aggressor as well, and it is very important that all these stories, they spread not only in the neighboring region , and were mutually complementary, so that the understanding began to grow in russia that today's russia does not really have an image of the future, it is lost somewhere in the past, and if so, then in general, what does it... actually offer, and in my opinion, this is not only about the regions neighboring us, there, of course, the fsb is trying to keep them under control control, as we see, is not always successful and often completely unsuccessful, but nevertheless , this whole story, it can be successful only

when it receives a new breath, that is, if it goes like a fire on such dry grass, on such, like a wave, if you will, but then it might actually work, but it definitely won't happen in the coming election days, there are literally 5 days left until the elections, putin's next election, because really these elections cannot be called presidential elections, they are putin's re-elections, and not even that re-election, but sooner. re-appointment of vladimir putin, these elections will be held this year, including in the occupied territories. of the russian federation , which have already been included in the constitution of the russian federation, this is kherson oblast, this is zaporizhzhia, this is part of donetsk, luhansk oblasts, and

part of zaporizhia and kherson oblasts, respectively, since 2014, of course, russia has held elections, various elections also on the territory of the annexed crimea, but the scale of the occupied lands and their number is increasing. is it there? the reason for the world not to recognize the legitimacy of putin, since these regions where the yura is, and de facto, are ukrainian, and ukrainians cannot elect the president of russia, if they vote for him there, well, relatively speaking , a few million, then this means that the elections are rigged at the expense of those people who were driven to the elections who should not have voted for him, as in... the issue is actually much deeper, it is that holding elections in the occupied territories is itself a crime , hold elections on

territories where the borders are not defined, because as a result of the manipulative change in the russian constitution, four ukrainian regions were brought there with unclear borders. this is actually not just manipulation, pure madness, from the point of view of international law, of course, from the point of view of politics as well , and the fact that today the un cannot react to this is paralysis of the un's impotence, but we are already used to this. the challenge is that we need a very coordinated challenge. what measure to set for himself now, he cannot determine and recognize the legitimacy of these elections , but he must also understand how

the west will communicate with the russian authorities after these elections, since in russia, which is a presidential republic, it is not some other form, well , let there be a council's opinion. . these and everything else, but the whole system of power is built on the supreme leader, who is now called the president in russia, was once called, as we all know, something else, so, in my opinion, we should ask questions about the legitimacy of not only the one who will be re-elected , as you said, in as a result of these elections, about the legitimacy of the entire system of government, and so... this is exactly how we should act, as legally, finding the same arguments, at least in the west, since the west will not agree to this, unfortunately, but also

politically, of course, here is this story, it is actually very important, and the fact that the ukrainian film, which just two days ago won the oscar, shows what and how it was going... russia in the sense of these elections, but i would actually show it from this angle , that is, the legal basis is already clear, politics, well, basically yes, but there's also this very important moral component or moral dimension, and it's really cool, is there some kind of coincidence there, although i don't believe it, that... our movie won the oscar right before this, this stylized election, we we have to use it by simply showing how

russia actually went before this, where it came, and where it will go next, and this is very, very clear from this film. and tell me, please, if the world still does not recognize putin's legitimacy, does this mean... that he will enter the category of dictators, autocrats and with the prefix self-proclaimed president. i don't, i don't think, and i don't think there is the political will in the world today to reach this basic consensus. i actually see that part of the countries of the world and society, it actually understands that putin cannot. to give a hand, that his own hand cannot be shaken, as it is customary in the civilized world, the rest of the world will

give it as his own. does further, so to get this, it's a beautiful definition, as you said, which is now applied to lukashenka, we, if we can, only partly, will it help us, given today's position of the west, well , partly will it help us, given today's position of non-western countries, the answer is bitter and is that... rather not, mr. pavle, during the last few days there is such an absentee discussion between the vatican and ukraine, to put it simply, between the holy see and ukrainians, about the white flag, about peace talks with the russian federation, the interview that pope francis, pope francis gave to an italian tv channel, where a journalist asked him, or it is necessary to raise the white flag to the ukrainians, he

said, it is necessary to take it. white flag and start peace talks, today vatican secretary of state pietro parolin explained that the pontiff spoke in favor of creating, citing conditions for a diplomatic solution that would ensure a just and lasting peace. obviously, the creation of such conditions does not depend on only one side, but on both, and the first condition, in my opinion, is the very cessation of aggression. how do you, mr. pavle, evaluate the actions, words, and most importantly, the inaction of the roman pope over the years. the last two years the great war of russia against ukraine, and the pope is in another world, absolutely, that is, in some parallel to ours, which is different, not worse or better, but completely different, he has a completely different history of latin american society, he understands the world in a different sense, in fact

he should understand... how he is divided into the same binary categories of us, good, evil, victory, betrayal, but he does not understand it like that, he understands it through the logic of compromises, does the logic of compromises help the church , i have it a big question, but i will not get lost in today's discussion inside the catholic church, when the pontiff says: about the white flag, of course he does not mean that we should surrender, but what he says is so without a hitch, without understanding , what this means for us, emotionally infuriates us all, and actually shows an unwillingness to understand us and talk to us, well , no one prevented the pope from having a very engaged discussion with us with...

understanding what is important, what is not important, he has his apparatus, and people who are, of course, very smart people, you just quoted cardinal parolin, but the pope is in a different reality, we already remember how the holy of holies, such a holiday of easter, they tried to use both a ukrainian and a russian woman there, and all these stories have already been shown to us, what the pontiff really thinks, so it gets to us emotionally, and it's very right, to be emotionally outraged, i think there are other reasons, not exactly not, can the vatican of today's reality be effective or useful, if it can, thank god, as they say , if it cannot, we will use other means, i

actually see the possible influence of the vatican is very limited to humanitarian issues, such as humanitarian aid, such as possible exchanges, whether the vatican can be useful here, i have my doubts, but nevertheless, for the sake of the people, it is worth a try, whether the vatican can be useful in some general political aspect, here i already have... such deep-rooted personal doubts that this is possible in principle, that the pope of rome will not deviate from this course and will try to speak for himself, despite the opinion actually of its diplomatic and non-diplomatic services.
