8:19 am
you can find more details analysis on reaction on our website, all t dot com, the spanish media outlets, a se saves it. so this have concerns. the killing off the defected russian pilots. maxime, it kills middle of now he was that it has allegedly been living in spain on the ukrainian identity. that's off the high dock in the russian helicopter. and killing to comrades. dementia that on february, 13th in a garage and be a how your set alley come to is maxime cause mean of the russian pilot who defected? last august to surrender to the claim and ami with a helicopter. she will spell it in as confirmed by sources close to the investigation. so let's get more details now from our correspondence to your relatives about many thanks for coming in fear rela. so tell us what exactly do we know according to these media reports? well, as we just heard nikki, there's was a russian pilot who had defected to ukraine with his helicopter just last august.
8:20 am
and he was found dead in an underground garage, riddled with bullets from an unknown assailant. now spanish and ukrainian media have reported this, but spain state news actually said that the body was found on february 13 in southern spain, and that belong to pilot maxime who is meant off. initially, they had thought this was getting related, but upon further inspection to his backstory then they saw and look deeper into it . now. spanish law enforcement nor the court have confirmed that there was a murder. however, the spanish civil guard did comment that they did find safe documents and that the investigation is ongoing and classified. so what do we, how much do we know about maxime codes? we know, well, maybe he seems like a regular individual. he was a 28 year old russian pilot. he was actually supposed to be delivering parts for us . you 27. and as you 30 fighter jets, but instead he was recruited by the s b u and offered a half
8:21 am
a $1000000.00. to do this, the now he hijacked the helicopter full of his crew and landed it forcibly, and har, coffee crane, and the head of the defense intelligence of the ministry of defense of ukraine. carol donald said that most members of the crew who had refused to surrender were killed. and as far as we know, they had no idea of what his plans were. and later on he actually admitted maxime admitted an oppressed conference in cab that he did do this, that he did transport a plane. and just more on his back story nicky, he was supposed to be a man who committed rash apps according to one of his colleagues knew him for 3 years. he had wanted no participation in the war. he wanted more of the peaceful mission, peaceful type of missions and another one of his colleagues had also said that he was a man that was very weak psychologically. and that this person had no idea how somebody
8:22 am
like that to be put in charge of military equipment. now as far as rushes comments on the head of the russian for an intelligence service has said that maxine brought this upon himself when he decided to commit this asks, let's listen in this traitor and criminal became a moral corpse. the very moment he was planning his dirty and terrible crime. now apart from that, the says, the major general belief that the defect or pilot had actually offered his services to you create himself. and earlier in a conversation with rushing media, had said that perhaps he might be eliminated by ukrainian services once they were done with him. and perhaps maybe that they didn't want to pay up. now there haven't really been other comments from russia or from the kremlin as of yet. it seems like there's still a lot of questions that need on answering at this point. exactly. right,
8:23 am
and there's so much, we don't know because the documentation that was found on him was of a 33 year old ukrainian man, obviously not matching who he is now. spanish media to clarify that this was in fact maxime and a spokesperson from the ukraine. n g u, our military intelligence also confirm to reuters that has been off had been found dead in spain, but he refused to say the exact causes just now. the question is, how could someone be found with fake documents? allegedly provided by the premium government? isn't this an illegal act, isn't this forgery? shouldn't be you say something? what about the implications of a crime then? could others go and submit this prime? there's a lot that we don't know who did it, of course is the question. and who benefits from this as well? so as you said, there's so many questions left to be answered. many thanks for coming in with the details, appreciate it that i can use opponents. now what angry saw him is a gathering across the country in pros has to blocking roads on the pony shoot for
8:24 am
any and food or the farm is riding against new e. you climate change messes on the import of key design for cultural products ins . opponents, which they believe creates on fact competition. big blocks, roads and checkpoints on the ukranian border with trucks is banners and other equipments. this. * is still a dollar to trade unions, days is planning on and off road blockages throughout poland until the 10th of march demonstrates as grandest and national flags entrusted slogan to the scene in reign for marketing system. it did cash, we gain a check point. agricultural workers believe the impulses ukrainian, brandon's opponents of stuff and friends of mine, several ability to make a living as well, to ukrainian presidents below demands. lensky had to say about what was happening. sure, this is regarding the situation that demonstrates a daily erosion of solidarity things that are happening on our western border. the border with poland cannot be considered normal. a simple and clear justice is
8:25 am
needed only 5 percent of our agricultural exports passed through the polish border . so in reality, the situation is not about grain, but rather about politics. while the polish minister of development and technology says that president is a landscape should take cash in making such statements. taking into account the totality of all relations the way we have suppose to do crime from the 1st day, i would remain cautious and expressing such opinions. let's discuss this now with all guest. george saw me. what do you see? any research fellow, all the global policy institute, many thanks for joining us on the program. stay really good to see. so we have present the landscape, cooling the up as already called the protest and will so it was auctions and erosion of solidarity. well, his power is one of you claims closest allies seemingly turned it's back on kids
8:26 am
when it isn't poland so much that is done dates back. it's publish of workers and farmers who were never really supportive of of this war. but the bodies government would actually be quite happy if this whole thing just though, went away and uh, and the grain of the poultry and everything was continued to pour into poland. the bolt has gone with his being forced into a police, expressing sympathy for the bomb is it really goes this will simply because a going against the farm is, is politically suicidal. imposing. they are strictly powerful groups. there are elections coming up in april. the other election is coming up in june. so donald tools, who's surfaces all with ukraine and not with the farm, is just kind of being forced into explicitly at least expressing some sympathy for the farmers. how do you expect things to develop?
8:27 am
georgia may not understand that ukraine is we're supposed to be announced a retaliatory move warning. it will provoke some crossings to publish drug. see, do you think that will happen? do you think the situation will develop a good that probably will happen. however, i do think that some of the ukraine is onto hiding to nothing here because the boat is government will eventually have to um, play kate, the farm is you don't mess around the farm. is there anything francis found this germany as long as you know the, the following is really have, you know, they have to sit is by the throat and these, if you mess with them, then everybody soft as an and that's why i think that eventually the voters nobody's going to have to cave will see what the brain does. now, the of the farmers have said that they will allow alms to continue to flow into ukraine's i, so this is a, you know, that this is strictly this border blockade is strictly directed towards um,
8:28 am
from proud to use. but alms will continue to flow. so maybe that will just they will keep the ukrainians happy, but really it is quite outrages because originally, the reason why the e, you lifted it's, uh, it's, it's tyrus against the boat is green, was the poland, and then you've got it against the ukraine's grain was that ukraine couldn't get it's green out via the black sea, but you great is getting the the green out by the black sea. i mean back to expos via the black sea. a now um, at the same level as they were before the south of a cycle, special montreal purchase. so therefore you have to us, if you're getting the green, i buy that likely. why exactly? are you dumping lose grain into the you market? and then the, the, the cost of the question, pretty honest with yourself, because they're a very powerful agricultural interest in ukraine. many of them, uh,
8:29 am
even based in the united states that wants to make a lot of money. they didn't buy all this land and ukraine funds, they wanted to make money. and that's and it's, they were pushing uh the you, if it's a continuing this, uh, it will, this uh, impulse of grain and without any terrace the pharmacist on having all the taking money out of the farm as puppies. we saw similar things in germany a few weeks ago. so what does this light is? stand off between the 2 neighbors. tell us about the attitudes in europe as well as ukraine, other boulder picture. the picture is, and we've seen this now for 2 years that the war and new great isn't the lead project in europe. there are, there are no demonstrations anywhere in europe in support of ukraine. there's no particular of the sympathy for ukraine, the, the, the, both of these expressions of outrage, the, that to go on and your,
8:30 am
a baseball coming from the politicians. it's been the united spinning you the lead projects from the stop and this expresses, and you can see this in case of a live of the polish one was it was a german fault, was a french one, was a war, take german and french was also a complaint about this cheap imports of the ukrainian grants, and the farmers realize that the leadership, the people who run the you and many of the sort of the liberal governments in the you already saw started so that they have that green agenda. that basic, also culturally false, the farm is they want to get your move away from the, from pesticides in the, you know, the a gains that are against them. the emission of greenhouse gases. and the farmers realize that they've, you know, we're up against governments who hate us and who pursue policies that are detrimental to us. and the farm is in europe.
