if in kharkiv region, then right here it will surely be a test for emmanuel macron, because he said about a certain offensive or a breakthrough of some lines, if this happens, it will be worth following his reaction. to what extent, in principle, can we now talk about the fact that france really captures such a leadership in europe when we talk about supporting ukraine. do you see signs of this? you know, these signs are probably in words, because this is macron after all, he is one of those leaders who talks about ukraine in almost, almost every speech, it is very it is very symbolic, all the same, because france, french presidents, usually when they address their people, if you trace it like this, and sarkozy, hollande and so on, very rarely in these addresses any information appears, about which appeared historically, about international politics, of course, here the context

has completely changed, there is a war on european soil, and macron cannot ignore it, but the issue of ukraine is present in such a way, in this way in france, it seems that it is a purely french matter, to settle this situation, to resolve this war, to develop bite her, somehow in order to bring ukraine to victory, this is still relevant, it is not about a truce, although it is about the olympics, of course. er , it is still about victory and france in this regard verbally adheres to this very line, er, if we talk about any specific, concrete support and so on, according to the numbers, so far germany is ahead, at least according to the data of the university of kiel , it is germany that invests more money in military aid, here of course you can count what is more important there, a large amount ammunition, or there is one caesar's gun, and what is more strategic for this, is important at the front.

but according to the numbers, germany seems to have taken the lead, at least there according to the calculations of the last year, maybe it will somehow change this year, because france is still reaching new scales, it is scaling its military industry at a very slow pace, unfortunately, but it is still happens. at that time, of course, other countries don't have anywhere near the potential of france, so yes, this leadership is happening, since the uk is no longer part of the eu, of course. france and germany remain, because if anyone else, and by the way, with regard to the olympics, there is an important moment here, nevertheless, there is hope that macron will play on this and manage to organize this, this pause, some kind of olympic, because this will be his first small diplomatic victory , if it really will be possible, because all eyes will be on france at that moment, it will be a moment of sport, peace and so on, but again, by what methods he will achieve this, it is not clear at all.

i want to return to sending french troops to the territory of ukraine. the kremlin has already managed, i don't know, to drop the threat. maria zakharova said that they will be the targets of the russian federation, she is talking about the french who will be sent to ukraine, how will she react, or is it possible, how has the french president already reacted to this? well, since they denied the presence of french troops in ukraine, by the way, by... it's just a former american official who was still working, i think, during the reagan era, that is, a person who is retired there, stephen brien, stephen brien, i think, yes, he said that there are already french troops on the territory of ukraine, there are 100 of them, there will be 1,500 of them, he is even a name, a well-known russian propagandist, he works with russian resources, absolutely, he works with the washington times, which is about the trumps. contrary to

the washington post, he borrowed his information from a tweet by sputnik, and then in a conversation with french journalists who were able to reach him, journalism carried out such a check, a news investigation check, and he told them that his source was a satellite, very reliable great source, he found this information on twitter, he cited a specific french infantry regiment, the 3rd, which is generally in french guiana now, that is, well... it is not clear how far this information is, where he got it, well, if it is, it is clear where he he took it, but there it even reached the point of absurdity, because he quoted the satellite, it seems on the third day, and then a few days later the satellite already quoted him, that is, this circle, you know, of toxic information online, which , of course, is immediately picked up by the russian propaganda machine, reacts immediately, that is she herself fabricated some information, she herself responds to it with threats, and seriously...

to accept it from the point of view of france would be completely illogical and they do not do it, that is, there was no reaction, i will tell you this, because i really even looked, will there be any reaction, there is none, everything is questionable. in such a situation, we know that there was a lot of talk about the foreign legion, that ukrainians from the foreign legion, i think, even at the beginning of the war, really returned to ukraine to fight on the side of the defense forces of ukraine, there there were comments from the command of the foreign legion, maybe all this is also used now, absolutely. it is used for this, and there are indeed ukrainians there, and individually there may have been those who terminated their contracts or deserted, went to ukraine, it is as if a military secret, they, well , it will not be disclosed, but it is not about any mass there the phenomenon that all the ukrainians there have freed themselves, gone to ukraine and the legion needs to react somehow, they say

about operations in estonia, about operations in romania, that is, the entire eastern flank of france, and the fact that they could be involved in these territories, but... there is no specific intervention on ukrainian territory, and it is also inflated, you are absolutely right, it is inflated, because each, each a small hint that somehow it is possible to undermine the credibility of, say, the official statements of french presidents, ministries and so on, this is all used, why, because these are two completely different paradigms, european diplomacy, european statements, this responsibly politicians who check their words 3 million times before saying them, most of them, of course, there are cases of corruption, and also there are manipulations and so on, and a completely different paradigm is the fabrication of reality, when simply in some fact is released into the air, which suddenly becomes the truth and to which someone must

react, these are different dogmas, different worlds, and they somehow coexist now, and well, it is quite difficult to actually fight against fake news, but there are... these are methods , tools, and here are the french journalists, at least they are actively engaged in this, as well as the ukrainian ones, but if we ask ruba's question, will macron's party lose to marine le pen's party in the elections to the european parliament? and of course he will lose, of course, even if there are no options here, i think the trends are absolutely steadfast now, although today, when he addressed macron on twitter to the voters, he is exactly the european if he had prepared such a speech, but i don't really... optimistic, maybe there will be a surprise, but still , it seems to me, they are so extreme right are breaking through very actively, i think the general majority in the european parliament, and this has been confirmed to us repeatedly, all specialists, will still remain centrist, but the breakthrough of the extreme

far-right forces this time, this year will be simply phenomenal, and on the example of the specific country of france, here already, well, it can stay there, as long as it remains. a month , a lot can change, however, on the example of france and, after all, it is the extreme right that is leading for now, but it seems to me, so let's explain to our viewers, that marine le pen always had excellent results especially in the elections to the european parliament, and then when it came to the elections to the national assembly in france, it was completely different, because completely different electoral systems, so completely different electoral systems, it's ironic, by the way, the fact that the eurosceptic party... is doing so well in the elections to the european parliament, it still speaks somewhere about the eurosceptic sentiments of the europeans themselves, yes, in france, a completely different system, a different level of calculations, but lupine also got ahead, they have 80, it seems, deputies, although in the previous elections there were somewhere around nine

or 12, that is, in fact, its record in the last parliamentary elections is also phenomenal, and if all the news talked about it, it would not have become the largest opposition party. and it still left mélenchon with the extreme left, because they organized alliances and so on, but it is, well, the second largest opposition party in france, and this cannot be ignored, in particular in the perspective of 2027 and the presidential elections that await france, which will , i think, very much so an important moment for all of europe, in fact. let's put an end to this, thank you, mrs. maria oleksa was on our air, a journalist. skova editor on french television, mr. vitaliy, i suggest now to move on to the topics i want to talk about with you, and this week there were new personnel changes in the government, the minister of agrarian policy solsky was dismissed, well, with that at least it is clear, and also

the vice-premier mr. kubrakov, although he was not an obvious figure for me to be released, why did it happen freely. kubrakova on your opinion, maybe what, or who is behind it? you know, i don't think about it at all, not even for 30 seconds for one simple reason, the personality of the prime minister, vice prime minister, minister is important. the head of the power bloc, when they have their own political, i would say figure, when there is, say, a coalition, when the ministers are representatives of various coalition forces, when they enter the government in order to perform not just their official duties, for of representing certain the positions of the parties that nominate them, and we will then we can talk a lot about this, yes, but one

party nominated such a group of ministers, and another another, remember, in the coalition after 2014 , we were surprised that the people's front proposed its own representatives for the positions of ministers, petro poroshenko's bloc proposed specialists in technocracy, they went the other way, and we discussed it for a long time and vividly, what are the different approaches to the formation of the government, here the deputy... they learn about the names of the ministers when they are approved by the government, they just bring the list, and we learn about the names of the ministers then, when these ministers are being dismissed, are they being accused of nabu, and we start talking, why were they being accused of nabu, and who are they? if we do this, we will be just like our colleagues, conditional, well, are these conditional colleagues from russian official publications, there are people from russian liberal publications, they discuss the mishustian government. but such ministers went there, and such ministers went there, well

, even in russia it can be more interesting to say, because there are some clans there, there is the patrushev clan, patrushev has a son, he is his promoted to the position of vice-prime minister, and his nominee manturov, who became the first vice-prime minister, chemizaves his own there, it's all a class, clan struggle, we don't even have such a thing, fortunately, there is no clan struggle, we have practically all the power concentrated in... their hands, in the hands of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, there are several managers who, by his own admission, are from the president's office, who help him carry out his powers, but in no way influence the decision of the president himself, we never know why managed by the president, personnel decisions, some emotions, some motives related to his relations with allies, or the fact that someone was the first or the last to reach his office, i don't even want to deal with it, i don't want to live in my head'. zelensky, because it is his absolute prerogative to live in his own head,

such a configuration was not created by the president himself, he, it was created by the ukrainian people in the 19th year, and i am absolutely unable to discuss the resignations or appointments of people whose names i learn about at that time. when i know that the parliament found out by some resignation, to at this moment, and i honestly did not know about the existence of mr. kubrakov, i am reading there now, you know, he could be the heir of the prime minister, 90% of people do not know the name of the prime minister here, well, he was would he be the heir of the prime minister, who is also anonymous in his abilities and will be remembered perhaps for the fact that he was the first ukrainian official to take off this jacket, conditional maotzadunovka and now walks around in a suit like a classic official, well, it's interesting, again after all, for the secular chronicle, if i were the editor of the magazine there, i would... of course, on one page i would have made a portrait of volodymyr zelenskyi in such a beautiful frock coat or he is in embroidered pants, there are

holidays there, on another page i would have made a portrait of the prime minister in a classic suit, well, since we don't have a vouch, we are deprived of such an opportunity , you only in this way, only in this way, and if we talk about famous names, about, for example, the former head commissar zaluzhnyi, who was appointed as the british ambassador, and i personally wonder what we can expect from valery zaluzhnyi in... in office, in this diplomatic position? i think that nothing, because again, now classical diplomacy does not look like what it used to be, well, again, the president and the prime minister of great britain communicate directly, it is interesting that valery zaluzhny has such authority as in a person, he can convince the british parliamentarians of something like this, what they need to be convinced of, there is a complete consensus on supporting ukraine, in diplomacy there are certain... things, professional, not related to any beliefs there, not to speeches in parliaments,

and with such painstaking daily work, which is connected with thousands of completely technical details, i don’t even want to talk about them for a long time now, because any embassy is by and large an enterprise, you understand, an ambassador deals with everything in the world, from money for the elevator, he should go to the embassy for protocol meetings there with other ambassadors, i always believed, since soviet times, when members of the politburo of the cpsu were appointed ambassadors. that the ambassador should be a professional diplomat, this is the same military service, the ambassador has a rank ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, not everyone, you know, even ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary has that rank, there is the rank of first-class ambassador, second- class ambassador, when, when people who are not professional diplomats are appointed to these positions, it's

like rules or veils , or a sinicur, in the case of, say, some of volodymyr's former associates there... this is exile, in fact, and in the case of volodymyr zelensky, valery zaluzhny, it is also essentially political exile. someone got a cynicura, we know some people there who unexpectedly too having never engaged in this, they received ambassadorial positions, this once again speaks of the attitude towards the diplomatic service, you understand, if we, as an ambassador to some country in great britain or germany, would appoint a deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine or a chief. of the general staff, everyone thought that this was complete madness, well , as a person who did not make a career in the armed forces, no no, no, no military ranks, the last military rank of lieutenant suddenly turns into a person who receives a position, on which should be the colonel-general and the people who hold these positions, they don't just hold them, they

serve for years, they go through the barracks, you know, in order to become a general's wife, you have to leave, so to speak. marry a lieutenant, there is a well-known saying, and suddenly a person becomes a deputy commander-in-chief, well , when a person who is not engaged in professional diplomatic work becomes an extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador, any person, it looks exactly like this, so that we do not have, no there were no doubts, so of course i want to wish mr. valery a good stay at this position, i understand that he is a military man, he did not have time for people who can choose the place of their work, obviously it was an offer that he could not refuse. against the background of the situation we observed in the last months of his stay, and to wish him a happy return to ukraine after the end of hostilities, and perhaps he will be needed during the continuation of hostilities, we do not know how the situation will change, maybe it will be renewed again in the armed forces, we are not only at the first stage war, i always remind our dear

viewers that nothing has happened yet, the main events are still ahead, the 20s, 30s... the war is still ahead and there will still be many different changes and perhaps in these changes the president will also need and to the citizens of ukraine, valery zaluzhnyi, let's see, it's hard to predict now, yes, you just said about the beginning of the war in 20-30 years, and i understand that we cannot 20-30 years, i said 20-30 years , excuse me, 20-30 years, and i understand that we cannot do without the support of our allies, well, of course we cannot, as absolutely sure said at the beginning of our conversations, general bohdan, we are a country of 30 million people after against 140 million people, this will always be the rule of this war, and therefore modern weapons and with and and effective defense, war are these two trump cards that give us the opportunity to hold back in these decades, so wall street journal reported that trump

has changed his rhetoric regarding aid to ukraine and is unlikely to give it up, why or how. to think, to predict, in the event that trump becomes a candidate for the presidency, the president, whether he will help us, or after all, he will not refuse is it from the supply of weapons, the provision of monetary aid to ukraine? i can tell you just one thing, not a single journalist from the wall street journal knows what donald trump will do as the president of ukraine, and neither do you, because by and large , what donald trump will do in the position of the president of the united states, only knows. one donald trump, and today he knows one thing, tomorrow he knows another, this is a person with a chaotic political thinking, which is dictated by circumstances and sociology, and for it is also absolutely obvious to me that trump will not go to congress and say: you know, we have to refuse

aid to ukraine from today, for one simple reason: if he wants to have some kind of dialogue with volodymyr. putin regarding the end of the war. he is definitely not the kind of person who wants to have a dialogue with a weak position. if we will not help ukraine, let it go to hell. why should you talk to him? is it possible for this? what kind of dialogue partner is he? well, that means i'm quietly occupying ukraine, i'm getting to uzhhorod why should i talk to you? what about? well, these are absolutely obvious things. therefore, of course, if he has an idea. dialogue with putin and agreement on some points there, not even a vocal dialogue, he will continue this process, be good, he will want to continue. during this process, it is not known to what extent he will succeed in this, but we have to remember again a simple thing: the president of the united states alone does not decide anything, there is a congress, and everyone forgets about it for some reason,

there will be a congressional election, there will be a republican or a democratic majority in different chambers of the parliament, let's imagine a democratic administration and republicans who have a majority in the house of representatives and the senate, this is one america, let's imagine a republican one... or with a republican majority, no one knows, at one time i want to remind you in the 70s in the 20th century, when the republic of vietnam, south vietnam, practically disappeared from the political map of the world, the united states did not want this at all, and the president of the united states , gerald gerald ford, and the secretary of state of the united states at the time, henry kissinger, they really wanted to help vietnam, they prepared everything. documents once again, well , the senate did not vote, the senate did not agree with their requests, and what, and the troops of the vietnamese communists entered saigon, but the americans had to

organize an evacuation on one day, something like 80 helicopters, they were not even going, because they were sure that the senate would vote, and the president told them, wait, where are you in a hurry, everything is under consideration by the senate, well , no consideration took place, that is, the consideration took place already when there was nothing to consider. ago again, when we talk about all these processes, we must remember that they are complex, that it is not worth it for us to just sit and wait exclusively for the help of the united states, that we are different from south vietnam, first of all, that we did not have foreign troops that could be withdrawn from us, we are fighting alone and will be fighting alone in the coming years, and secondly, it is that not only america is helping us, that there is a position of european countries, here we are ... they were just talking about the fact that the military-industrial complex is being strengthened there a complex of european countries, which means it will be produced more, there will be more weapons, there will be more strikes on russian territory,

there will be more russian strikes on ukraine, this is escalation, only you can see it, it is building up, there will be more strikes, there will be more opportunities to help us , because we understand that if there is more destruction there, european public opinion will be different, if the war subsides in... and it ceases to be interesting, if the fire burns, it will burn, then, then there will be more help allies when i heard this thesis from the wall street journal, for some reason i immediately thought about the voters, that trump wants to play with the voters in this way, because there is a lot of support for ukraine in american society, and withdrawing aid or blocking it, maybe, well, he can lose credibility , i... in that vector , i think, after all, well, among the republicans, all this is not as obvious as among the democrats, among the republicans such obvious support for ukraine, which was in the first period of the war, is not

observed sociologically, that is support israel is being observed, it is absolutely, and trump is playing different games here too, he is not absolutely, let's say, concrete here, so he is not really afraid of the voters, he basically says what he thinks, this is the american election. it is the republicans who support israel, this is a voter who is oriented towards the right-wing parties of israel, these parties, which are now in the government coalition, but trump is absolutely calm about his difficult relationship with the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu, absolutely calmly criticizes him, and not visible, that he puts a lot of emphasis on sociology there, he simply understands the obvious thing that those people who will vote for him, they will vote for him so that he does not speak, trump is a person. who once said that she can kill someone in manhattan and he will be elected, will not notice this, it is true, how important it is for him to get an additional voter, it is important, he will not win the election without it,

but this is definitely not the voter who thinks about ukraine or israel, this is the voter who can be one way or another economic problems, he is seriously worried, it is also important to him, this is also an important thing, not so much to find his voter, but ... to scare voters from joseph biden so that these people do not go to vote, so let's say that biden is interested in having in the east , the war has now stopped, trump, to keep it going, because the continuation of the war, it usually attracts these republican voters to trump, and some of the democratic voters turn away from biden, and it is very difficult for biden, he is actually on a tightrope, because he from one on the one hand, you have to be your own for this audience that says help israel, and on the other hand, you have to be your own for this one. who says palestinian civilians are suffering, and i don't think it can cost him the presidency, but the possibility exists, it's a serious bugger, and he's

in a... worse situation than trump because trump's voter is unequivocal, he does not go to pro-palestinian demonstrations. regarding the elections, there was information that biden may withdraw his candidacy in favor of michelle obama. i immediately thought that, well, how about me, this is not a very good step, because since it is not possible, if there are voters who are ready to vote for biden now, then, for example, for michelle obama, they will not vote. what you can say about this is fake information. and there is no need to discuss, once at the beginning of the campaign they said something like that, but they immediately realized that in principle there are no electoral advantages, so i don’t understand where it came from, i.e. why spiegel started talking about it at all, but it seems to me that it just our german ones colleagues wanted more clicks on their page and more sales of the magazine, this has nothing, this has nothing to do with politics, it refers to how the spire sold out in the newsstands of the federal republic of germany,

so you see i bought it though. well, i usually like to check the information, but still, whether it is possible to replace biden, or whether biden will be impossible, it will be until the end, there will be biden and there will be trump, it is clear what will happen, who will win, we do not know, but it will be candidates to the position the president of the united states. today we already talked about the visit of the head of china to different countries, he was in serbia and france, and stopped by orban, what does china want? these visits, and how was ukraine here in the conversations with orban, with macron, and with buchich? i think that ukraine was not of great importance to sydzenpin in these visits, because ukraine was dealt with by lee hoei, who, at the very time when orban and vucic and macron welcomed sydzenpin, traveled to the capitals of the countries of the global south and talked

with diplomats of these. about this new chinese peace plan, which can destabilize the summit in switzerland, in general, it seems to me that they acted in the best traditions of communist diplomacy, sydimping simply covered up the visit of luhoya, no one followed him, especially, he was kept in deep secrecy, about all the details this visit we found out when liei returned to leave, at this time everyone was watching xijinfin's hands. this kind of ordinary political bullshit is very well thought out, instead of sending it to us there when i'm here and all the soffits will be directed at me, but imagine that sidzimpin was not in europe, and lihui immediately starts a visit to arab countries, to turkey, everyone would only talk about it, but no one even noticed, they already noticed when it became it is clear what happened, and as for xijianping, xijianping has

two... tracks in europe, the first track is related to economic relations with france, germany, and the main countries of the european union. it must be understood that china, like russia, does not take the european project very seriously, and neither do we saw that even when emmanuel macron and ursula fonden were in beijing, they were treated differently, even on protocol. and now, when ursula fondelain arrived in paris. to meet with sidzempin, after all , the main character there was macron for sidzempin, ortsula vonderlein was one of the interlocutors during this visit, so china is trying to establish economic relations with france and germany, uses these words of macron about strategic autonomy, but there is another thing, this is serbia-hungary, why? because there are countries that lobbyists for chinese political interests in europe can be and are. it is hungary in general.

a perfect example, because the president, svidzempin, he can count on orbán as a person who represents chinese interests in nato and the european union, it is generally paradoxical that orbán manages to make such maneuvers, and with serbia it is a historical thing, it is just an emphasis as possible, because serbia is a historical ally of the people's republic of china, when the soviet union and... and the people's republic of china were in sharp conflict, did not actually have any real relations between them, there was no meeting at the highest level , the embassies of the two countries were just like fortresses and there were border conflicts where soviet and chinese border guards were killed, then the socialist federal republic of yugoslavia was actually the only one of the european countries, socialist, so-called, even romania, it seems to me, but more cautiously, did not sever ties either with beijing or with

moscow. and the then president.
