and that in the government coalition, that is, the greens and liberals, they are not ready to put scholz under enough pressure in order to win, in fact, everyone is now waiting for the first elections, in order to see what the result will be, to instrumentalize him further in the next elections , and until this happens, ukrainian, ukrainian, this dependence on western weapons from the german side does not receive help, well... and if there is some common will of the allies, how will germany act in this situation, who will have the last word in europe at all ? well looks, first of all, if we take the formal aspect, the commander-in-chief of the german army in peacetime is the minister of defense, that is, the chancellor has no relation to the bundeswehr at all, the mandate for the use of the bundeswehr outside the borders of germany is given by the bundestag, not by the federal chancellery, but by the high command.

minister of defense pistorius is speaking, who is quite a hawk, although of course he is such a social-democratic hawk, that is, you know and we thank god for what we have, we have such a social-democratic hawk, so scholz is useless here. and in fact in fact, that is, despite the fact that in germany formal things have their influence, in fact scholz usurped power in these cases and... and using, therefore, the text of the basic law, the constitution, which says that the chancellor provides the general framework for the government's policy, so he interprets it in such a way that he must control everything related to important moments, the war between ukraine and russia is an important moment, so if he controls everything there, that is , in fact, of course, the bundeswehr, neither at the material and technical level, nor even less at the level personnel in this war, if consent

from scholze is needed, and she is needed, will not participate, but what you mentioned, whether poland and the baltic countries can press him, this is really a very good point, because we know that in scholze, the only thing that works is unlimited, massive pressure, it worked with the leopards, it worked with the artillery, but now it doesn't work, because the pressure is not enough, because the party refused the government. pressure, so if now, let's say, poland, latvia, lithuania, estonia breathe at least a battalion of their armed forces into ukraine, then scholz is forced will already act, and germany will choose in his person, will choose the path that germany under scholz has chosen for many years, that is, not to be a leading country, but to move in the general fairway one or two steps beyond.

leaders, tell me what happened to the alternative for germany, that even marine le pen decided to get rid of it? well, you know, it's like in the old joke that someone survived there, which means that the gesture is extra-cruelty, but the same thing happened here, but marie le pen, she, marine le pen, she basically showed her, her skepticism about alternatives for germany, despite... all le pen's connections with moscow, despite her loan from a russian bank and so on, because, well, alternatives for germany are on, let's say , on french, on french scales, she is too, too much she is also right-wing and neo-nazi, even in her certain circles, that is, there are leaders who can be officially called neo-nazis by court decision, there are people who are, let's say direct, in the internal chats of the adn. said that they

wanted a civil war in germany, wanted to see piles of corpses in the streets there, they want to do their own thing on these corpses, that is , physiological needs and so on and so forth, and the adn constantly falls into scandals, and the latest scandals are espionage scandals, which means receiving money allegedly from the russian embassy and espionage. an employee of the adn faction on china. again, le pen also had her connections with moscow, but such a density of scandals obviously has its consequences. but for adn this is not a problem, that is, for adn it is not a problem. adn, currently the second most popular party in germany. the first is this the christian democratic union, the second adn, in certain regions of germany is the first in terms of popularity. party, that is, we are talking

primarily about the eastern regions, thuringia, saxony, saxony, anhalt, and the problem is that we have elections in september, september 1 in several regions. germany, germany is a federal country, that is, the regions elect their own parliaments, the parliaments appoint the prime minister or prime minister, and these regions have a substantial influence on the state policy of germany, including foreign-politically, although according to the constitution they do not have such competence, but due to such a balance and equilibrium of interests, they actually have this influence. and here we have a good risk that we have in thuringia. will be the prime minister, or the head of the shadow government and the person who controls 40% of, let's say, the parliament, a person whom the court allowed to call a neo-nazi and who openly uses slogans, let's say

nazi, real nazi times of hitler and therefore organizations, and who made it his political credo, that is, it is not something that he is prone to there, but it is not his focus, no, it is his focus, he does it consciously, and that is the problem, because if the adn does not even form governments in thuringia or in saxony, angel or where, it can easily block the political process there, and most importantly, if you have 38% or 35% of the voters of the elections voting for the adn, the adn turns into the largest party in the region, but is forced to go into the opposition, because absolutely everyone. communists to christian democrats, that is, conservatives, do not want to bring them to power, i want the voters to see themselves deceived, they see that their political will is not fulfilled, and this will radicalize them even more. and you are not at all frightened by this meeting of the leaders

of the right-wing parties, which took place in the ultra-right parties, let's be precise, which took place in madrid, during a special such event of the party in oxulta. the right of spanish, where everyone was either with their own participation or in video mode, but there were representatives of those far-right forces that, as a rule, absolutely cannot find a common language among themselves, there at the same meeting marine le pen and george maloney, there is no danger of such a union of the far-right, fox calls it international, and the question arises, what will happen with the support of ukraine, because i read in the madrid edition... pais, that the former polish prime minister matioz morawiecki, who represented the law and justice party in this meeting, he was actually not interested in anyone with his slogans of support for ukraine, despite the fact that there are pro-moscow people there, not pro-moscow, they are just not very interested in it? no, to me it, well, that is, well, how, well,

of course it causes a certain, some there, anxiety, but to me, as if i were afraid of completely different things, i am cured. that we will have chancellor scholz for another year and a half, or at least, things like that scare me, it scares me that president biden has a person who actually determines american policy towards the russian-ukrainian war, like jake salevan, things like that it scares me, it scares me that there china can start an operation against taiwan, and the situation will get completely out of control, because this... this meeting is the right of the radicals, well, obviously there are a lot of pro-russian characters, but this is not nothing new, such moments with the kishenkovs, which means that the ussr still had the right and the left for years and decades, that is, we have seen this since

the 1960s and 70s, and the support of all these circles there, therefore, from there, from... . of the liberation army to the irish army there, and the same in germany, that is, if the problem has its effect only if we do not have an answer to the main challenge, and the main challenge is moscow's aggressive policy, that is, conditionally speaking, if b in may of the 22nd year, all weapons were transferred to ukraine, which ukraine would also need russia... if it had received a decisive defeat somewhere before october, and not a half defeat there in kharkiv, in chernihiv, partially, then in november in kherson, then the situation would be completely different, and russia would have neither forces, that is

, mobilize all your agents and supporters and mobilize your support in iran, china, north korea, and so on, and you will rebuild a new one. war economy and then start this operation of sabotage in countries, i.e. blowing up warehouses there, there in us, well look, if in germany they happen regularly from the action of sabotage, which is obvious. can be connected at least with moscow, well , last week explosives and detonators were accidentally found near the oil pipeline, that is, near heidelberg, there is a huge nato base, there was something there, some explosives with detonators were there, so this happens regularly, that is, if but we did not give moscow the opportunity to put pressure on us from all sides, to provoke estonia there by removing the border there. not these markings, that is, to provoke sweden by the fact that they

published some there for, that is, their own the demand to change the fairway in the baltic sea, then it was withdrawn, then there was nothing in it, all these right-wing radical parties, they have their influence only within the limits, as far as we allow them, and to use our problems economically, economically and of another nature, b, to what extent they have these... their connection, as antaeus had a connection, that is, with gaia, with the earth, that is how far they have a connection with moscow. if these two factors are not there, then there is no influence, the adn would never have its 30 or so percent if the chancellor of germany demonstrated that germany can be a leader in the world, in europe, like a sword and defeat a totalitarian regime, if germany were such a leader that poland, the czech republic and others would follow there, then all those... who wish for a great there, germany, which is respected, which means that it can demonstrate

leadership, they did not vote for the adn, the azsdp , but now scholz is trying to intercept the votes of the adn by bending even more to moscow, thinking that in this way he can intercept the votes adn, this is absolutely false and unpromising, unpromising strategy. but you are not afraid that the factions of the far right in the new european parliament will be so serious that... they will change the very face of europe in this situation? well, the european parliament, fortunately, is a very neutered body, it does not have a legislative initiative, of course it has its powers, there is, say, voting for the candidacy of the head of the european commission, there is the confirmation of commissioners, but even they are all one parliament himself does not, therefore, does not offer, ie. then what you say of course it is objective process, and it is not safe,

indeed the voices of radical parties are increasing in the world, and in europe specifically, but again, why they are increasing, people can not, can find why they can trust traditional parties, democratic parties, if you want, let's say i can speak for germany, in germany the social contract between the state and the population is obviously destroyed, well, bearing in mind, of course, that the state is an instrument of the population, that is, the format of the existence of the german state, which was formed precisely by the population after 75 years of the german democratic state, now on may 23 we celebrated the 75th anniversary of the german basic law, it is violated, because the social... tract consisted in the fact that we pay a lot of taxes, we delegate a lot of

our rights in germany the state, well, for example, there from the fact that a person cannot change his name freely, because the state does not allow you to manage this process, ending with the fact that you cannot work there on sundays, or there are other moments, that is, that is, taxes are high, such liberalism in formati lasifer, he is also... not there, but it is a very safe life here, a very large social insurance, and the state is so worried and cares about you that you will never end up in poverty, nothing will ever happen to you, and now it turns out that that it's not working, that poverty is actually increasing, uh, the danger is increasing from the level of hard drug use there, and you see it on the streets of berlin, where people would... it's not san francisco yet, but it's moving in that direction , ah, so shootings and

knives are becoming everyday, and of course, that the yellow media are blowing it up, of course, that it is so little, you know, it is difficult to compare the level of danger in berlin with the level of danger in kharkiv, let's say so, but still people feel it, and they do not feel that the state institutions are working, that is of course it sounds funny, but when a person... cannot in a reasonable amount of time get the opportunity to issue a new passport or register at the address of residence, then... if this person does not have a lot of strategic vision and does not have any moral voting restrictions against the adn, then she votes for the adn, just so that everyone up there, so that they can see that she is dissatisfied, that is, this is such a big hole, it means that they are showing these elites, well, this is how trump was in his time and so on, and this is the problem that the radicals, they really

address their speeches to real problems. and despite the fact that, of course, their recipes will never work, but people see this only after they vote for the radicals. thank you, mr. sergey. serhiy sumlenny, a german political scientist, was in contact us. and now to the republic of lithuania. the second round of the lithuanian presidential election has just ended. gitanes neuseda, the current president and prime minister ingri shemonite fought for the post of president in the second round. viktor chernyshuk, lithuanian journalist, chairman. we are in touch with the public organization ukrainian home in lithuania. congratulations, mr. viktor. congratulations. so, 49% of lithuanian citizens, registered voters voted in this second round. there are no results yet, i think they will be soon. how are you at all? do you perceive this - no, there are already results. 83% of the votes were received by the president of gitenezd.

ingrida chuvanite received 14% of the votes. approximately 867 ballots, so to speak, polling stations since 1895, well, in principle , the trend is already clear, we can say, mr. viktor, that hytenos neosed was re-elected for a second term, taking into account this ratio, right? i wouldn't be in such a hurry, because you know lithuania very well, and now we can say that only small towns and villages have been counted... and large cities and medium-sized cities, there are not even any given yet, well, i understand, but if you take into account the trend, i don't mind, yes, yes, to some extent, but this trend was also in the first round, during the first round, i don't think that there will be any such intrigue or any, i don't know, it's a surprise,

everything is as planned, they predicted that after all nausieeda would be the president for a second term, but there was an intrigue in something else, completely, in the fact that he accumulates forces that, to a certain extent , reflect somewhere , well, i don't know, half a million inhabitants of lithuania, and for lithuania, this is a lot, who look not to the west, but to the east, that is, there are ee... sympathizers of russia, clearly such, it was the first time in lithuania that such candidates appeared who were openly for russia, but whether these candidates are for i understand, they will not be, they are not supporters of these candidates, it is unlikely that they have their own candidate in the second round, however,

that's what the problem is, they said that their candidate is too lazy. well, that is, in order not to vote for the shumonite zalid, as a representative of the conservatives, yes, yes, they will not vote for it, these are facts, so, well, with such a thing, it will still be okay, for how long it is not important for the president that he has such a part of the electorate, but for president zelensky, we remember in the 19th year, he could also obviously count on the part of the electorate that voted for pro-russian candidates, but also his position. .. were very different from the position of the same yuriy boyko there, even the pre-election position. from the latest statements to the session, we immediately understood that, after all , this part of the electorate is very important to him, as he said that it is necessary to talk to them, and this was a complement in that direction, and i think

because not only vaitkus is such a zhimaitais, he is more. a masked person in his views, but it only looks, and i honestly do not understand if you are talking about it like this, as if it is some such new phenomenon, it has never happened and again, well, i apologize, well, viktor uspassky’s labor party has always was a party that was one way or another connected to russian narratives, the president of lithuania, rolanda spaksa , lost his position, he was impeached, due to the fact that he had contacts with dubious russian. businessman, after which he restored his political career and even became a member of the european parliament. in the communist party of lithuania, the independents, which later became the labor party, there were always those who were found. here are people who were somehow connected with moscow, if i look at 30 years of lithuania's restored independence, i see it all the time from the first to the last day, what happened so new? many people? i

think that we didn't have such frank supporters of putin, no, no, vitaliy, we didn't have such frank supporters, there was no war, because the situation itself changed completely, you know, you understand that lithuania is now one of the leaders... one can say of the european union and nato, which is constantly putting pressure on the european union to support ukraine in one way, nato in another, but those people do not, and we have never had such a thing before , well, look, after all, the candidate vaidkos in the first round received votes primarily in... let's say this, in the russian-speaking environment, so where specialists worked for nuclear power plants, it was always a city with

not even a russian-speaking one, it's wrong e- e definition, with the russian population, with people, who moved to lithuania already after 1940, you don't have such a large population, this time, and the border with belarus, where the polish population lives, some call it the polish-speaking belarusian population. this is such a complex, i would say, ethnic history, but it is an opportunity to play on the sentiments of national minorities or on people on the sentiments of people who still watch russian television, well, russian sources of information, it is not such a serious split precisely in the traditional electoral audience of lithuania , well , there is a split, you know, what's up visagines and shalchenenko, about whom you are now opposing aid

, they voted for people who are exactly against ukraine and are more or less pro-russian. why? this is news. by and large, this is the cradle of lithuanian nationalism. it's true, but this is a poor region compared to others, maybe it's economic, well, compared to vilnius, all regions are poor, i would say so, well, i would n't say so, well, listen, well, if you live in kaunas, you don't feel such a gap, if how do you live in shaullai, well no, he is not that poor, i was joking, well i say relatively speaking, like the condition of the people, well... they have a little resentment towards vilnius, as one person there said, one of

the presidential candidates before the first round, he said that there is such dissatisfaction that vilnius is and there is lithuania. well, that's it. i wanted to ask you, that's what they tell people, about this story with the appearance on the website of the ministry of defense. russia, the russian government's proposal of the ministry of defense of russia to unilaterally change the maritime borders with lithuania, finland, and me to be honest i was also surprised by how different the reaction was in vilnius and helsinki, because in vilnius prime minister shomonite and president nauseda and other political leaders spoke quite harshly about it, in helsinki they spoke very carefully, they said that there was nothing to worry us, i think that ... it was discussed, after all, it was also discussed in reza recently by seven countries, you know these seven countries, that is, from norway to ukraine,

ukraine is also included in the seven countries bordering russia, and it seems to me that we have ee we are dealing with still a provocation. and of course, it is not very good if a corvette appears near the shores of klaipeda, as they are saying now, which can appear on such a basis that is completely legal after their statements. this is such unpleasant news, but i think that there is a reaction now that it is being discussed in the offices. society not so much, i understand why, why, yes, i say why, you understand why. it doesn't

interest me, well, i would be interested in changing the maritime, maritime border of my own state, let's say, well, you, they steal tanks, near the coast narvy, this is also my situation, i don’t know, in a civilized, civilized country it’s impossible, but in russia everything is possible, they took the tanks and stole them, well, the same here... i say, maybe, but in reality i don't know much about this, i only have such semi -official sources, that is, they are official, but not allowed to be reported to a wide audience, but i know that this is being discussed in lithuania and in other countries, well, i don't know, hello, what to say, to add precisely to...

that, but, this word, i can repeat, it is a provocation on the part of russia, and, all that they are doing, this, an attempt to take revenge, to order these countries that help ukraine, absolutely all of them, this is finland, and the baltic countries, and poland, and this will be done by russia, even no one, no, has no doubt that they will . well, that is, you actually think that this is such an attempt to take revenge, including for finland's accession to nato, so you are right, yes, it is revenge, and in general, in your opinion, the baltic countries are ready not to respond to such actions, if there is some kind of hybrid war is coming, they are preparing, but not ready, now we are talking about it a lot, discussing, debating, but well, not very ready. we are not ready,

we were not ready, as we were not ready for disinformation, i think that here we should turn to ukraine, to ukrainian journalists, for help, because the experience that ukraine has, in terms of disinformation, no one does not have, well , it seems to me that ukraine was also not ready at one time, when all this russian disinformation was thrown at it. but now, but now such, well, unfortunately, such an experience is not good, so that it would not be better at all, but, well, there is, there is. thank you sir viktor, viktor chernyshuk, lithuanian journalist, head of the ukrainian house public organization in lithuania, and he and i were discussing the results of the second round of the presidential elections of the republic of lithuania, while we were talking with mr. viktor, in lithuania

, the votes are being counted very quickly, already now 1,102 polling stations, not ballots, 1,102 polling stations have been counted since 1895, the president of the republic of lithuania is the leader of this race with 80, almost 2% of the vote, in prime minister ingrid shumanito, who was his main opponent in these elections, and... and passed together with the current head of state to the second round with less than 17% of the voters' votes, the counting of votes will continue, but we perfectly understand that the trend will not change, ms. shumanita can really win votes in the big cities of lithuania, but the guitar for snoseda is sure will remain for a second term as president of the republic of lithuania,

what was expected in principle before that? before this election, now we will break for literally 5 minutes and continue our program. tired of heavy and bulky saws, then strong saws unpack tv are just for you, they will easily cut trees and bushes, they are convenient to use for carpentry work, it is an ideal tool for your home or garden, and the price is only from uah 999. choose bass. model or model with a telescopic handle and order now, free delivery is available, check with consultants, cut branches, trim timber, chop firewood, you will do all this in one movement with saws strong, just see how quickly they cope with even thick branches , herbs strong easy to use and mobile once you're done, and unlike standard jigsaws, strong saws are so convenient to use.
