just a santrapa, who owes everything in life to her parents, and she herself did not pull a finger to be where they are, you know, that's what the trick is, and i have to think about all these people, what they are gathering there, what they collect, what the curator said, that's what they collect, uh, so, as we see, there are other representatives of the russian establishment, the opposition, like lev shlosberg, filipik burst out. to those russian campaigners who welcome the conduct of its troops in the ukrainian kursk region, how can it be, the politician must to be with one's people, you understand, these are all scoundrels who do not deserve our respect and attention, i.e. lev schlotsbir, he means with the russian people, but marlene dietrich, she was not with the german people and traveled. to give concerts to the allied armies,

of course no one knows her, and the whole world history and the whole of germany cursed her, and willy brandt, so he is not with the german people, who came to germany in the form of the norwegian occupation army, but schlosbik with the russian by the people, yes, but thomas mann, who wanted defeat to hitler's germany, he is of course who he is, he is just some unfortunate writer who betrayed germany, whom probably no german knows, reads or respects, only dozens of museums were opened to him after the war, and schlotsberg, of course, will have a museum in skkov , if he is not put in prison before this putin. do you understand this logic? these people cannot even understand examples from history that the one who wins, only the one who wants the total defeat of the human-hating regime. and so i understand that this road to this defeat lies through the suffering of this civilian population, which supported the occupation policy. the more... russian suffering, the more

chances there are for change in russia itself, that's what hocus-pocus is. mr. vitaly, but lukashenko spoke up against the background of the recent events, he is even bringing his special forces, and iskanders with polonaises to the border with the kyiv and chernihiv regions, well, but he spoke quite interestingly about possible changes in the leadership of belarus, he said something about the fact that one way or another, one day i won't be with you. i'm certainly not going to leave you, but whatever can happen, what do you think of this public appearance of the belarusian dictator, even against the background of the anniversary of the failed revolution in belarus, you know, i once wrote a text about the then president of montenegro in the 90s, and i stole the title from one a well-known serbian newspaper at the time, which also wrote an article about him,

i liked it so much that i decided to translate it, this article was called chernogorsk yagulya, you know what a yagulya is, ugh, it's an eel, ugh, eel, that's lukashenko, he behaves exactly like this yaguly, he not even an eel, he is an eel, a real eel, a lady eel, only not montenegrin, but belarusian, a real eel that does not even maneuver, but wriggles. you see, it is winding, on the one hand, he needs to show putin that he is his loyal ally, on the other hand, the russians are already saying in their publications that lukashenko agreed with ukraine on the withdrawal of troops from the belarusian border, and he himself withdrew his troops from the border, and this made it possible for the ukrainians to release their forces for an attack on the kurdish region, and they quickly did so concentrated, because they quickly led them from the belarusian direction to the kurdish one, we did not even have time to notice it. well, of course,

in this situation, lukashenko says, yes, no, on the contrary, i will now strengthen my border so that they do not break through there, where they are not going to break through, you understand? here is his whole role, because he understands very well that on the one hand he needs to secure himself, and on the other hand to show putin and company that he is with them, he reinforces what does not need to be strengthened, because he is their ally. ago he will keep at the border. air defense forces, but the army does not hold, you understand, right? and this is the whole logic of lukashenka, he always tried to maneuver. of course, after the 26th year, when he dispersed this popular protest, it is much more difficult for him not to maneuver, because these people always, as they do, they negotiate with the west, the west says, okay, hold only free elections, full elections, and ... there are no

questions, but everyone loves me, you see, now madura, he also does exactly what lukashenka does, there are no problems, it great then not everything wakes up, well, well, so now i will fight with the venezuelans, lukashenko is doing exactly the same thing, but madura also has a person there to whom he can turn for money, just like lukashenko, this is sidjinping, sidjin pin , and now lukashenko is trying to maneuver between china and russia, but for these maneuvers to continue, he needs to survive, and what do you think that he wants to die with putin, you are wrong, he may think that he will live without putin. ugh, only he needs to preserve the regime, so that putin does not crawl and so that the west could not do anything with him, he solves such a difficult task, that is why he wriggles like this, the ukrainians also wanted to attack us, now i will show where this attack was being prepared, don't worry, volodymyr volodymorovych, but the fact that they are there in kurt

region, why doesn't he help the russians, they are members of the csto, i remember that in january 2022, some... incomprehensible people, but clearly not of foreign origin, organized a protest in kazakhstan, and president kamzhmar and immediately says: this is a foreign attack, terrorists, mercenaries, no one crossed the border of kazakhstan, he somehow found these mercenaries right in astana and other cities, and the csto troops immediately came, they had already crossed the state border here, the security council of the russian federation registers this, putin about... holds meetings, says what a provocation, no selective shelling, and why is the csto not working, uh, why the chairman of the csto, who is the chairman there, lukashenko is the chairman, i don't remember who is the chairman there now, he won't say, come on, friends, let's get together and send our glorious troops to kurtsk region, let them

will help the russians repel the attack, let's at least do some non-military work there to release the energy of the russian troops, no one wants to. i saw this putin in the coffin in white slippers, well, slippers, well, lukashenko doesn’t want to help putin either, he puts iskanders in himself at the border, everyone else doesn’t want either, well, it’s kind of strange, so it also shows to some extent, how much this russia worries them all, you see, in fact, in fact, they are simply maneuvering that it will not come to them. evil, all of her hate, it's somehow strange, the russians hate moscow, the csto countries hate russia, everyone around dislikes the csto countries, somehow, as soon as you go to the csto, as armenia said, we suspend our

activities, everyone immediately starts to love you, go to you, you are meeting with the us industrial sector, maybe this is the key to happiness, leave the csto and others altogether. integration structures with russia, if everyone doesn't like it, why stay with it in the same union? that's all. this is a good question. so i think i explained it to you. yes, she explained, more than of course. it is more than clear, but you mentioned xijin ping, and i would like you and i to perhaps talk about how the global south sees the situation around it. i doubt, of course, that they are all in the cursing area, but less so, for them it is a weakness. on the part of the russian federation, the fact that it has not controlled a certain part of its universally recognized, world -recognized border, are they now observers exclusively, and are they thinking whether they should continue to cooperate, at least in some sense, with this country, no, i think they are great

understand that this is a weakness, huh, and by and large it corresponds to their idea that the best way out of this situation is a cease-fire and... a drawdown of troops, and by the way, this ukrainian raid on the kurdish language, he convinces once again , let's say, precisely the countries of the global south in the correctness of their approach, that the issue is not in someone's territorial integrity, in a ceasefire, well , because it turns out that between russia and ukraine, just like they, well, china has territorial claims to india, in india to china, in pakistan to india, china to the philippines. everyone has some territorial claims, and someone controls some territories that are considered foreign, and which are claimed by several countries at once, well, what to do in such a situation, to try to find a political solution to the problems, so here everything is clear from their point of view, ukrainian troops are on

the territory of the kurdish region, which we consider to be the russian federation, and russian troops are on the territory of the four ukrainian regions of crimea there, and we consider... the territory is part of ukraine, but what to do, of course, it is necessary to stop the wagon and start negotiations. ugh. so i think this is rather, even a redundant argument in favor of the chinese approach. and i would say that it is now possible to say this to the russians from their side, you see, we told you that it was necessary to cease fire and start a dialogue, and you said no, we will not cease fire, and now it is already on your territory war, and you already have a disputed territory conditioned on your territory, we recognize your territorial integrity, as well as the territorial integrity of ukraine, but what to do with it, how to prevent it, no way, you have to cease fire, so it is clear that they are exactly in this plane. will express themselves. ugh. well, how, as far as we understand, the ukrainian state and

the ministry of foreign affairs, represented by its representatives, are working on, and i wonder what, actually, on the african continent. dmytro kuleba visits malawi, zambia, mauritius, and some countries from the african continent. these days, in fact, they broke diplomatic relations with us, and we with others we are trying to build some bridges. what is happening and can it give a practical result? practical result, it is not related to the war, it is simply related to the issues of ukraine's positioning in the modern world, and if you like, to food security, because if the issue of food security is important, it is also part of our efforts, then in principle , the more countries are interested in peace in ukraine and in economic ties with us, the better for us, this is diplomacy, it's not about war, about the fact that someone broke with us diplomatic relations it seems... niger and mali right? yes, these are countries that are

under the full protectorate of moscow today. who is helped by the wagner group or the african corps created by the ministry of defense of the russian federation after the death of yevgeny prigozhen. the regimes that are in these countries also have, very often, do not have any mutual or diplomatic contacts with other countries even in africa, because... the legitimacy of these regimes is not recognized there, both regimes are military juntas, the regime niger is even going, it seems, to kill the current, legitimate president of niger, whom he is taking as a hostage, so in this sense, if you realize that these countries are dependent on moscow, then of course they were always looking for reasons to show their disloyalty to ukraine, by the way, in the organization of the united nations, they always voted in support. pro-russian position, not ukrainian, and in this regard,

when they say: oh, we took a neutral position in the war between russia and ukraine, this is not true. on the other hand, i don't think we are we must loudly declare our support for the separatist movement that, for example, took part in the destruction of the wagnerites in mali. that is , we can help all this, we can finance it, we can have contacts, we are interested in leaving as many wagnerians as possible... in africa for permanent residence somewhere in the sands of the sahara. ugh. but we cannot question the territorial integrity of any country, even if that country is ruled by a military dictatorship. because we are a country that can be in a state for many decades complex problems with territorial integrity. it can be so. and that is why we must realize that the issue of maintaining at least the semblance of international law, because international law, as i have repeatedly said, has been destroyed and will not be restored in the next ten years. but we must in any case insist that the world order is legitimacy, and

therefore, by helping some groups fighting our enemies, simply on the principle that the enemy of our enemy is our friend, and not being allies of military dictatorships, we we have to remember that there were more recently, the times when the west helped the legitimate governments of mali to fight separatism with radical islamism, and the question of the territorial integrity of mali niger is not raised by anyone. is called into question on the african continent, the legitimacy of the governments of these countries is called into question, so i would just like the officials of ukraine to be the officials of ukraine, and this seems absolutely logical to me, because there is no need to give an excuse for ukraine to be accused of any actions , which will make it possible to compare it, say, intervention with in russian, all the more so everyone is waiting for this. mr. vitaly, after our last meeting with you, and serhiy shog, shoigu, ex. the minister of defense of the russian federation, and some people from whose team

are currently being arrested in russia for corruption, well, he visited tehran, the capital of iran, and then went to baku, azerbaijan. we understand what iran might be preparing for these days, and there is also a different reading inside, what might be the response to israel's response, such as the islamic revolutionary guard corps. for more radical approach, the newly-minted president masud pezshkiyan, allegedly for a more restrained, but less with what shuigu forgot there and... if we consider the information that russia is sending some samples of its weapons there, what could this mean? well, i think that russia perfectly understands that iran is an ally, it is helping in this war, there are not many allies who can openly supply russia with weapons, and from this point of view, of course, he could not but come there . on the other hand, there is

different information about what he advises iran, which transferred. tatali khamenenia vladimir putin. there is information that russia generally advised iran to refrain from a serious attack on israel. i don't think it's because the russians are somehow very sympathetic to israel, but because they might fear that a retaliatory strike would destroy all their efforts in iran. say, destroy the iranian nuclear facility. let's say that nuclear facility in tanza, which can be used for the production of nuclear weapons, that it must be prevented, because if iran gets rid of the main cost... of blackmail in its war with the west, then of course russia's position can be weakened. by the way, we still don't know what iran is preparing for, because we see that the tegoranis said that they were about to strike israel, they were already counting the hours until this strike, but then everything somehow stopped, maybe , because the iranians received

the results of the investigation into the circumstances of the assassination of the head of the hamas politburo, smail hani, because there are many theories about the fact that... that hani was the victim of internal political clashes in to the leadership of hamas itself, there is also a lot to say, because he had disagreements with the head of the hamas organization in gaza, yaka sinwar, regarding how to proceed in the war, whether to seek a truce or not, they had different positions there, someone accused haniya that he does not want peace talks and a cease-fire, someone from sinwar, in any case, what... unexpectedly for everyone, his candidacy was not even named, became the new head of the hamas politburo, speaks about , that the destruction of hania was not something exclusively israeli an act of revenge for the 7th massacre, but it could have been the result of widespread idleness in iran itself and in the ranks of this terrorist

organization itself, and that is why iran can think that israel did not really kill hania, we will... according to israel, we will look like idiots in in the eyes of its own allies, this is one, the second may be the danger of a retaliatory strike, the third, iran may think that it is able to engage at this stage, other terrorist organizations that also wanted to get rid of their chief of staff , fad shukr, who was killed in berlin by a missile attack, israel literally in a day before ismail hannia left, and they can just take their time, and they can discuss all this at any time, but that doesn't mean that russia is just going to be there with... not going to fight on that front, she's interested maybe in the development of events , however, they may analyze the events differently than in tehran, precisely from the point of view of the consequences, you understand that when you make a certain effort, you think about the consequences, and by the way, with regard to russia's interest in further inflaming this conflict , and anywhere else in the world, well, we are used to you

to say that it is always beneficial for russia, on the other hand, now and... can ask russia: how will you repay me for the unmanned technologies with which i endowed you, and similar things the russian federation can already send to iran and s- 400, they are allegedly asking about su-35, modernized fighter jets, i.e. russia, which is currently extending the line of combat with ukraine, and everything is happening very intensively, on the other hand, it can be obtained by iran, which is also asking for additional resources from it , whether the course of the conflict is beneficial now in the russian federation? i think that russia will in any case supply iran with what it does not need on the russian-ukrainian front. it has its own system of priorities. iran is definitely not the first part of this system. the second is that russia may benefit from a major conflict in the middle east, which would divert attention from

ukraine. but again , such a conflict is important for russia, which would not lead to serious problems related to... with the security of iran itself, ugh, and therefore the russian intelligence services can, of course, really analyze the situation, precisely from the point of view of what will happen to iran as a result of its attack on israel, perhaps, by the way, that is exactly why the secretary of the security council of the russian federation went to tigran, and not the minister of defense, this is also a sign to some extent, that we are sending you a representative of the security forces, but the secretary of the security council, who should share... some secret information, discuss the general directions of cooperation, and not discuss the nomenclature of weapons, because this is precisely the prerogative of the minister of defense, yes and in this regard, of course, it is very difficult to understand now. where is the balance that russia would like to maintain, on the one hand, inciting instability, and on the other hand, fearing the results of instability for its allies. mr. vitaly, let's take

a short break and return to ether. oh, i remember, you see, although they say that our memory weakens with age, but i am attentive and remember everything. we take the memo effect from dr. tice and feel the difference. memo efect improves the functioning of the nervous system and contributes to the normalization of mental activity. memo effect by dr. tys improves memory and attention, helps to think. there are discounts until independence day on citramon darnytsia 10% in podorozhnyk pam and oshchad pharmacies. now i have a toothpaste that does more. lacquer activ++ with a plus of active ingredients. i use it to overcome problems with clear and unpleasant odors. lacquer activ+ with two-phase technology, actively overcomes bleeding gums and. gives fresh breath. lacquer active plus - action that you feel immediately. there are discounts until independence day on estezifin, 25% in pharmacies plantain, bam and

povalyaeva, about how we have changed, what lessons we have learned, and what we will never forget in the tape 10 years of war, exclusively on the espresso tv channel . journalist who joined the armed forces, political expert who became a special agent, taras berez. in a new project on espresso. the real front is a thorough analysis of the main events. reports, comments of leading specialists and experts. analytics from the major of the armed forces. how to make sense of disturbing news and distinguish truth from hostile propaganda. the real front program with taras berezovets every saturday at 21:30 on espresso. this is saturday's political club, thanks for coming to espress. vitaly portnikov talks about the most important events that are currently developing in ukraine and in the world, and at the end of our

program we would like to touch on the rather powerful and heartbreaking events that took place in bangladesh. literally in july, again from the students' action, there actually took place, the revolution started. which achieved its certain results and the prime minister, the prime minister of this country left the country, and now, the interim government is headed by a nobel laureate, interestingly, this is also a peace prize winner, by the way, mohamed yunus, he has already taken the oath, and what was the trigger the hook behind that information that is public is job quotas, if i'm not mistaken, mr. vitaly, and we... we see how it all grew quite quickly, a lot of parallels were drawn these days with the ukrainian maidan, i don't know, how much is it appropriate, but nevertheless, the events in bangladesh,

how do they look to you? you know, i think that bangladesh is primarily the arena of a great geopolitical confrontation between india, china and the west, and it is interesting that all the instability in bangladesh really began after prime minister sheikhasin, who is a sincere friend of india and has supported for many years warm relations with the indian governments, is a close, i would say such a friend of the prime minister of india on rendremode, she visited beijing with a request for receiving some big loan for bangladesh and in fact arrived without this loan, and after that such tension began to build up in bangladesh. i will not say what sheikh hasina's government did. some mistakes with this quota, and with this, quite serious, i would say, misunderstanding of the mood of society, which led to repression, to the dispersal of student

demonstrations. this was a serious issue, especially as we understand that when you create inclusive opportunities for all, it is one story when you single out a group of individuals who are descendants of those who fought for independence in pakistan in the 70s, these people have some priority, when in fact the participants of these events have long been out of the labor market, this is a completely different story, but one way or another, as we understand, beijing was interested in the overthrow. its essentially a pro-indian government. sheikh hasina had a chance to negotiate with beijing on beijing's terms, she did not do it. and then there was such, i would say, a line of serious tension that ended with the fall of her government. what will happen next is quite difficult to say, because actually bangladesh has a real one political vacuum. sheikh hasyana's party, it

is compromised, but it is a big party. with a serious infrastructure on the ground, it continues to exist, the bangladesh nationalist party, which is headed by a long-time rival of the prime minister, she too, i would say, can be considered such a political force that the youth are already tired of it, and it must be understood that the prime minister , she is the daughter of the first president of bangladesh. and her main competitor, she is the wife, in fact, of his main heir. both were killed, and majubur rahman and ziyaur rahman, ot. and here the question arises whether it is possible some change in the political elite, and who will fill this vacuum? and who will use this vacuum? china, india, will there be any government capable of cooperation with western countries.

the students wanted muhammad. the nobel laureate, the man who is known for inventing microcredit, he won the nobel prize for, he invented microcredit, so if you just want to get a small loan there so that you can, i don't know, buy a coffee machine to sell coffee on street, they will give you a microcredit for this coffee machine, you will only get money for this, and you will be able to go out on the streets of dhaka and sell coffee there and then pay back this loan, it is, in principle, at the time just in... drove her abroad, accused her of corruption, and now he returned, but we don't know what will happen next, just yesterday sheikh hasina's son emphasized that she remains the legitimate prime minister of bangladesh in general and that she will return to the country when the parliamentary elections are announced, that she does not yet know whether she will return

to politics or not, but it will return to country as i understand it, sheikh hasina's task is to continue the power of her party, even if not with her at the head, but for awamilik to retain its majority in parliament, because it is impossible to prosecute the leaders of this party and to finally dismantle this system, which this political party has created for 25 years strength, well , we'll see how it looks soon, but by and large, it's a pretty serious story, because it's about a country that 's strategically located between pakistan. india, pakistan are also allies of china, by the way, now more so than the united states states, and of course, in this situation, we can talk about a serious success, those who think that he will be able to reorient the politics of bangladesh for the future, away from new delhi, but whether it will actually succeed, we do not know. mr. vitaly, thank you for a wonderful evening spent together, as always, it was the naispresso saturday political club, analysis of geopolitical events and events within our

country. that with us every saturday. powerful work of the armed forces, what enemy targets were destroyed by our defenders, a campaign deep into russia, a strategic risk or a tactical move. and this at a time when muscovites are advancing on several front lines and the olympic games, what a victory for ukraine. greetings, with you annayevamelnik, more from the espresso team about the essentials of the past week. silence mode is saved. on august 6 , urgent reports began to appear about the crossing of ukrainian parts of the border and an advance deep into the territory of the kursk region. at first, it looked like a breakthrough attempt by a subversive-reconnaissance group.
