blame your enemies for what you do yourself. this is what this military-informational propaganda about the seim river and the bridges over it looks like now, because our air force showed an attack from above, and now we are showing you a video that was shot by the russian occupiers themselves. record the destruction of this bridge, and at the same time, it is absolutely one with the hand, as they say, they take it off, and with the right hand or the left they write a lie about the fact that the russian troops crossed the seim river in an organized manner and without losses and retreated to the other bank, and positions were arranged in advance, and while retreating they destroyed the bridge, well they destroyed it. bridge, but then they themselves shot a video of how it was done, this is the plan

of it only from above, in a word, by the way, this plan is from above, this is the video we saw yesterday, this is the official video published by general olyschuk olyshchuk, which was published by ours air force, i.e. on all official resources, on official channels, we saw this video, and here one yes, in one word, now, if you take the map in more detail, then... you can see an amazing thing: on one side the ukrainian border, on the other side of the seim river, minus two bridges, the russians have successfully driven themselves into such a... trap, and here is how they will get out of this trap, we can see one of the scenarios already today, because the head of syria reports that the exchange fund has become much larger, the best option en masse to surrender as a prisoner, that's how it was, eggs, milk, rusishin, surrender, that's about it,

they learned this formula, and they did it successfully, like then, so let them repeat that time now. about two more portions of captured kadyriv residents, writes sternenko, that is, there are many of them of various types, not only the conscripts, as they first tried to present there, in particular in russia, and that the akhmat residents, akhmat chai and tiktok troops are the first to say aloud when they are taken prisoner , remember, they are like a team, they say, exchange us for azovians, fantastically interesting, that they are well aware of what crimes they have committed, and therefore appreciate it. himself exclusively for our most elite defenders. let's go further and now we will talk about how international affairs, how life in the far east, in east asia can affect what is happening in us. natalia plexienko butyrska, an expert on east asia, joins our conversation. mrs. natalia,

we welcome you to our air. good day, congratulations. let's start from,... let's say, the biggest power, the third power of the global south, we're talking about, china, and in a very in a very chinese way, china reacted to the events with a course offensive, as they say, we have been calling all parties to de-escalation since birth, but we have not heard anything new from them in principle, they always do in their official statements, that they are above the fray, or rather, they are sitting on the shore and waiting for the corpses of all their enemies to float by, but in this case , they will not stop technical cooperation with russia in exchange for minerals, well, maybe

they raised the price of yuan a little , so that they were bigger geshefts, but this is... very cynical, well , actually, china is trying to separate things like russia's war against ukraine, it is their unlimited friend, but there are limits to this friendship, and china is trying to distance itself from being associated with this war, with the behavior of russia, and in this case we see the so-called peace-making efforts of china, why i say so -called, because it is clear that china does not want to put a real diplomatic asset on the solution of this... this conflict, it has proposals, it has some plans, but these plans somehow bypass the conflict itself, and china is not doing enough to help stop this conflict, despite different rhetoric there. as for relations with russia directly, here china is trying to persuade and

appeal to our western partners, who have imposed considerable sanctions on russia and are pressuring china with secondary sanctions, about what they have, as an independent country, in general emphasize that they do not recognize sanctions that are not recognized by the un security council, which are the current sanctions against russia, that is, they are not recognized, it is clear for what reasons, because russia will put pressure on them and china will help them in this, but china is trying to include such an independent player and ignore this circumstance, but says that he did not recognize it. sanctions, accordingly, he has the right to trade with russia, and to establish bilateral relations, and no external forces should interfere in these relations. and so we see a serious increase in trade between the two countries, almost doubling, before the war it was 120 billion, now it is 240 billion and it continues to grow. it is convenient for russia,

of course, because it also diversifies its resource supplies. in the asian region , primarily china, and it also buys most of its goods that are needed from china or through china, what concerns, in particular, dual-purpose goods from other countries, let's say, well, china has taken such a position, it believes that it has the right on this position, he does not violate anything, with this fact we work and live already during this period of the war, and in parallel we see with you that... in china, it is increasing trade with us and is our main trading partner and for today also and primarily what concerns our agricultural products and promised to increase during the visit. purchase of agricultural products from ukraine, but at the same time , china is still playing a double game, as the greatest threat to the national security of the usa is determined by china, looking at precisely those

maneuvers and those preparations around taiwan, well , for our part, of course, we know that more there is no democratic country like china, we will not be allowed to distort the soul of the uighurs, so they could come on the air and tell us what is going on. planned genocide the uyghurs in china themselves do not like the chinese when they are told about such things, that is, they want to look like doves of peace on the one hand, and at the same time play such cruel and double games, both around taiwan with their maneuvers and threats, and inside the country. of course, but china in this, in this situation emphasizes that these are its internal problems and no external forces have the right to interfere. and the question concerns taiwan, besides taiwan belongs to china, and this is recognized by the countries that have diplomatic relations with china, but what about xinjiang

region, all the more so because china pursues a very harsh policy towards the uyghurs, particularly muslims, in general in its country, as well as in relation to tibet and in hong kong, we have seen how the rights of this region have been eroded, but nevertheless china insists that this one inside. affairs, and recently we hear more and more about the fact that each of the countries of the world is unique, and it has the right to conduct its internal affairs and on the international field, to act in a way that corresponds to its traditions and culture, in fact , that is, russia from china, lately we have seen how they try to justify many of their actions with their cultural and... entity, which cannot be interfered with, and that is why they are trying to remake this world, they are not satisfied with the liberal-democratic world that is

currently and which is practiced mainly by western-type countries, so these two, in their current struggle with the united states of america, they are trying to suppress these liberal various laws and insist that... that their cultural values, they have very ancient history, so they have the right to build their lives according to their own patterns, and in no case not to listen to any external advice, ms. natalya, but we heard something similar about, well, these are our internal affairs, said, for example, the russians , when they conducted the first and second chechen wars and also conducted them, genocidally, when grozny was razed to the ground. here they are terribly similar, and in this case, how much they are soul mates, how much they are united in love, i mean putin, sidneypin and

kimchen, the same one is being painted for us now, and i forgot to include, the homeland of democracy, i.e. iran and together with the ayatollahs, as far as they really are with each other, well, if they understood and formed a whole, whole. the anti-democratic axis of evil, here we have to divide these countries in general, because russia is now trying to build an alliance, it is in its general style, like the soviet union , to build up the dissatisfied and offended, so in order to start a world war there, at the moment and we see iran, slightly north korea are ready for russia in this world war let's support as far as china is concerned, it is trying, again, to play its very aloof game, its cunning game, where on the one hand it is defending its interests, and in this

case, these three countries are in a way helping it to fight against the hegemony of the united states of america, as they say, these countries, for example, if you take russia and iran, then they are united not only by the current vision, the kind of world structure that is needed. to change, because the united states of america, it is seen for them as a country that imposes some of its own rules, they need to be undermined, but we we see a more careful game on the part of china, which , with the help of these guys on the world stage, is trying somewhere to undermine the influence of the united states of america, but at the same time to remain such an outside, independent force that is allegedly not involved in these conflicts, on the contrary, it is trying to... bring peace to the middle east, to bring peace to the european continent in the context of the russian-ukrainian war. as for north korea, from... the country

, a chance appeared again for their leader kimchinin, not only to improve their economy, because from from russia they get the necessary resources, and already last year, for example, according to the data we have, the north korean economy grew by 3%, this is the first time since 2016, when they were subjected to very large sanctions, and mainly, mostly this is also due to the sale of such weapons to ... russia, but at the same time, for example, north korea, it also has its claims against the united states of america, but it solves its personal affairs both by selling weapons and by the fact that, on it's a pity, eh, maybe for her the opportunities to improve her own weapons are growing at the expense of and certain such tests, shall we say, on the battlefield, because we see how north korean

missiles are imperfect. is falling apart on the fly, and with the help of russian resources, with the help of russian engineers in north korea, unfortunately, there is an opportunity to work on these weapons, especially at the moment when russia is interested in north korea helping it to have its military-industrial complex the complex worked for the russian war. in addition, the current relationship with russia helps north korea on the one hand, get a certain balance in the region in terms of china's influence. because after the collapse of the soviet union, russia did not help north korea financially and tried to establish relations with south korea, and therefore the influence of china grew very seriously, in fact one country that in trade, in all areas, had very deep roots in this in north korea, and now according to the old scheme, which was in ancient times during the period

of the soviet union, in which way... it balances the influence with the help of ties with russia as well as even economic ties, and this increases his possibilities of stakes in future negotiations with the united states of america, because if earlier north korea tried to attract the attention of the united states of america with its missile launches there and ask them to call for dialogue with the help of missiles, now north korea has eyes. that in the case of trump's arrival, he may want to return to negotiations, and now they have a serious card, they, they are a great friend, partner, ally, according to the treaty on mutual defense with russia, and in this case the conversation, for example, about denuclearization, it will be irrelevant from the point of view of north korea, they will be able to negotiate already now, apart from talks about the lifting of sanctions there, which they

seek. led by the united states of america, there is no such sense now, because russia is ready to violate these sanctions in general in all spheres and completely disregard international opinion. that is, we see that all the countries that we have named, on the one hand, they are building a message of evil to undermine the international order, on the other hand, each of them pursues its own goal, and therefore it is difficult to talk about some value, for example, a value common to these countries. even as regards, for example, china and russia, from my point of view, on the one hand, we see a very serious relationship between these two countries today, it is historically repeated, because the relationship between these two countries has had its ups and downs and ups and downs, but at the same time this closeness is theirs, they border each other and have a long border, different historical ones. historical monuments,

as a result of which russia took a large part of the chinese territories, and if you think that now everything is neatly, in my opinion, in reverse order, everything is not so bad in them there, please excuse me for interrupting, but we still want to return, you mentioned the chance and opportunity for north korea now gets some food from russia and a little something else, those developments, at least, which they don't have. but now they have another chance not only from russia, but also from south korea, the president of that country suggested. let's create some kind of working group and let's talk, so that it is possible to somewhat ease the tension that exists between the two koreas. what does this mean, because there is japan nearby, which does not ease tensions, on the contrary, they are increasing funding for the defense industry, because they say china is nearby.
