short and sweet, how can you? you know you expect from them and you know it has already become a commonplace to say that these are talks about nothing, that it does not have. e meaning to lead. and i will say, perhaps such a paradoxical thing, but let's not set super-tasks, but let's understand that the negotiation process is hard, intense, but painstaking work. this is draft work, which is to prepare a big peace agreement, which will be signed sooner or later. you can't sign it on your knee. here, in order to prepare the conditions for to agree on the entire block of issues, there are several blocks in the same place. you just need to date. and let at a snail's pace. let contrary to our expectations, when we are waiting for breakthroughs, but still move forward and look at the last. we had minsk. uh, agreements were negotiated. which result zero zero no agreement agreement were the results. look here, from time to time, the medinan makes a statement. i re-read it yesterday and here we are that these negotiations

are meaningless, we have practically agreed on seconds on mm. come on, look neutral while this is the only thing they talk about for the next hour, we'll talk about it in the most detailed way, okay? and now the news on channel one. hello time news on the first, we will tell you about the most important events right now. and we start issuing the latest information from istanbul where today for the first time in three weeks. representatives of moscow and kiev meet face-to-face. understandably, the conversation takes place behind closed doors in the same way as diplomatic sources report for a separate conversation. tête-à-tête withdrew from the assistant to the president russian vladimir medinsky, he heads our delegation and david rakhami, head of the parliamentary

faction of the ruling ukrainian party, is a servant of the people. what other details from this minute, we will learn from my colleague anton vernitsky. he goes directly to the studio from istanbul anton you are on the air. hello again. well, an hour since our previous inclusion happened. that's what we moved to hell the inner courtyard of the palace, where negotiations are taking place, only russian journalists were called here so that we could to communicate after the end of the negotiations with the participants of the russian delegation, and or to hear. at least some preliminary data, but negotiations are still ongoing. they began at 11:00 moscow time in full force, and before that, the president of turkey addressed the negotiators. every destroyed building, every object launched into the sky or buried in the ground, instead of becoming

part of prosperity, moves us away from a common future and that's it. now in the hands of negotiators. you can stop this tragedy, you know, uh the russian delegation still insists on the conditions that the ukrainian side put forward is the protection of the civilian population, first of all, where is the nazification of ukraine, the demilitarization of this country, as well as the recognition of the sovereignty of russian sovereignty over crimea and the recognition of the people's republics of donetsk and luhansk what details do these negotiations consist of, but the most noticeable thing is that among the participants there is roman abramovich. he communicates in turn, then on the one hand, then on the other, he talked, including president of turkey uh for about 40 minutes. uh, medinsky and the rochs were removed one by one. e. after that, they returned to the negotiating table. and

then it's final. uh, the press, all the operators who were present there on the under-the-top topics were removed from the hall; there weren’t any left at all. negotiations appear to be ongoing. but the fact that we have already transferred e here to the inner courtyard of the palace suggests that most likely some kind of result is preliminary. we're about to hear. here, uh, i have such information for this hour. thank you for the course of the russian ukrainian negotiations in istanbul, our correspondent anton vernitsky is following. in the meantime, from the dpr today there were reports of new attacks from the apu over the past day, settlements were attacked more than 30 times destruction in aleksandrovka zaytsevo gorlovka staromikhaylovka dokuchaevskie as a result of strikes by the kiev security forces, according to the joint center for monitoring the ceasefire, two civilians were killed various injuries severity received 33 people, including two children beaten, ukrainian us battalions and the airport. donetsk

actively used it back in afghanistan and iraq there are now at least 6,000 of these in ukraine; they were sent here by order of biden from nato warehouses. it all started as an ordinary check at a checkpoint, usually refugees leave with their whole families, the car is stuffed with things, and here in the car there were only two strong men, it was already suspiciously impossible to slip in the car, there were two male civilians. uh, during the check , a foreign-made grenade launcher was revealed and, accordingly, three automatic weapons, civilians were detained and handed over for further clarification the circumstances of the detainees are being interrogated by the fsb of russia swedish anti-tank grenade launcher three kalashnikovs plus american night vision. this whole set of saboteur. now it will become material evidence, like the other seized the other day by the arsenal, its attackers tried to hide. using the method of smugglers, an artificial raised floor was made in the area of ​​​​the spare wheel, which was disguised as the natural upholstery of the car, and

there were grenades. that's it, fortunately it's not reached the front line, but could be used against our officers, who the other day drove the nationalists out of the new settlement. this is already a suburb of chernigov, the commander of the central military district alexander lapin awarded the best participants to the navigator. thank you, congratulations, i serve the order of russia. courage medal. zhukov medals for courage due to merit to the fatherland show the faces of heroes. we are not yet able to receive awards. they immediately returned to their positions in order to continue to carry out combat missions alexei kruchinin alexei belov and vladimir ivanov channel one, chernigovskaya region, ukraine on the importance of maintaining mutual understanding and trust in the post-soviet space today they are talking in alma-ata at a meeting of the council of the interparliamentary assembly of the cis countries, the council is headed by the speaker of the upper house of the russian parliament valentina matvienko, she read out the greetings of vladimir putin this year, the assembly celebrates its thirtieth anniversary. she also reminded that all this time the parliamentarians

that he was misunderstood about this american leader said during a press conference at the white house, where he was forced to answer to reporters for his recent statements on ukraine, in particular, a fox news correspondent asked biden to clarify that he meant when he said that the us military would have the opportunity to personally assess the situation in ukraine, and once again he was waiting for a response from the united states and nato in if russia allegedly uses chemical weapons or once again carelessly spoke out about the leadership of our country. and now biden is seriously saying that his words are being misinterpreted everything sounded like you told the us military that they would go to ukraine sounded. as if you said that the us will be able to use chemical weapons and sounded. it was as if they were calling for a regime change in russia and we know that none of the three happened; none of the three happened; none of the three happened. you are so how you interpret it. i spoke with the military about helping to train the ukrainian military in poland, what is the context? i meant to meet and

talk with ukrainian forces in poland. when you said that russia's use of chemical weapons would cause a significant backlash, it would cause a significant response. what's this? means? i'm not going to tell you what to tell you. you must be stupid, almost 150 people were taken to the crimea, most of the citizens of turkey, there are also citizens of ukraine, the evacuation was carried out by the military of the south district, as the refugees themselves said. many were with children. everything went smoothly in just a couple of hours. they safely reached the territory of russia. the ministry of defense, in turn, noted that special flights along the humanitarian corridor are carried out after requests from foreign embassies , as well as at the request of the local population in crimea from the kherson region. at first, the special operations evacuated about 600 people. acceptance to help refugees is now ready in different russian regions vladimirskaya

continue, following the results, a speech is expected for presses on this that's all for now i'll give the floor to my colleagues the information channel will continue the program time will tell. the information channel on the first continues time will tell anatoly kuzichev olesya loseva keep you informed, russian troops continue to clean up mariupol , the azov people, who abandoned their base in the city now because of the backs of civilians, are firing at the forces of the dpr and the russian military, these shots. you see on your screens, and the people who leave mariupol are crying at the sight of an ordinary piece of bread. here creepy foreign footage of people fleeing the war zone and coming under fire from the ukrainian military, who are hitting indiscriminately in all directions. rare footage, these are refugees, refugees

who were killed by shrapnel, you can see, yes, shrapnel bikes all over the shrapnel. everything is broken here. everything is broken arrives every every minute. at the same time, russia continues to deliver pinpoint strikes. the group was supplied with warehouses, and the ukrainian troops in the suburbs of kiev, if you don’t die under shelling, then the ukrainian military will die of thirst, but they want to take a water blockade of donetsk and are already starting to act. donetsk is on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. the situation with water in the city is critical. water is already supplied only for 2 hours once every two days, and the situation continues to deteriorate. interruptions began after

they de-energized the pumping station of the only one at the moment with aimed strikes. the source of the city's water supply and water supply was suspended, moreover, after the ukrainian troops damaged the seversky donetsk donbas canal, the main reservoir of the city finally became shallow. and this is not counting the constant blows of the apu, on other life support facilities. now emergency services. donbass are forced to work around the clock. in fact, pipes and wires are being patched under shelling. the only chance for the locals not to stay. at least lifelessly necessary heat on march 16, neo-nazis attacked the kakhovka hydroelectric power station and they tried to recapture the station, only the employees of the national guard were able to take control of the situation, however, the situation with water is more difficult to restore the supply, it is necessary to free the entire territory through which it passes. and now there are heavy battles. even if water is supplied to donetsk once every 48 hours, it will last for a maximum of 2 weeks, then it can be turned off completely. yes, if you don’t die

under shelling, you die, you need to remember this formula from thirst, yes, present it so to speak, and he, although he usually has no particular interest himself, remember when point u in donetsk flew to the very center, when dozens of people died. remember how he reacted philosophical. if he says it really, so to speak, flew e intentionally, then this is bad. and if by accident, then we need to figure it out. he is the united nations organization. all right. alexey nikonorov is on direct line with us now, alexey yuryevich hello, thank you for ah. what a situation. uh, what prospects am i now exclusively about water and is it possible to do something do, please describe the situation as follows first. this hmm , it should be noted that the water is supplied from the territory, which is controlled by the armed forces of ukraine and uh, before the start of the special operation , this happened exactly as follows. thus, that

is, the stations were regularly. uh, under shelling, you were periodically put out of action and, in fact , under shelling, our specialists restored these stations in order to supply water. e to the republic, what else is worth noting is that this water entered the territory of the republic from the territory of the republic served mariupol at the moment. uh, as a result of the shelling, several pumping stations have been de-energized and it is not possible to restore them now, since active hostilities take place this way. and the donetsk people's republic has already moved into water austerity and projected even more austerity. at the same time, with everything now , repairs are being carried out at an extreme pace and, more precisely, the construction of a conduit from a reserve reservoirs. which will also allow in the economy mode, and also to supply water for two weeks by this time period, we also plan to free up the territory completely, which

is where the water is supplied from and, accordingly, in this way, but for now, the preliminary plans are such that water supply will be restored precisely according to this plan at the first stage, the main main task is construction. e water conduit from the reserve reservoir. well, that is, look, that is, today we talked about it, so to speak, military sense in a military context. here is the defeat of this grouping there, kramatorsk, which will be dissected and so on. that is, it is quite, so to speak, the dimension is not only military, but also humanitarian. that is, if i understand correctly, then while these guys are there, they dug up, while they shoot, they shoot. they purposefully target citizens' infrastructure facilities. including pumping stations and so on, there is no way to restore normal water supply to the city. no, that is, i repeat this, and the aspect is not only military, but also a pure humanitarian rout. here is this grouping. of course, i can give you an example, the vasilyevsky pumping station is just one of those facilities, uh, that needs to be restored before the start of a special operation. i personally

also visited this vasilyevsky pumping station and the road to it passed in the zone of direct vision, that is, passing along this road every time our employees. yes, they were under fire. that is, this rather dangerous place has always been there now, in general, uh, active hostilities are taking place. it is impossible to get there, well, it is not possible, therefore, of course, as soon as the slightest opportunity arises to restore, we do not immediately take all the necessary measures . what is the general situation in donetsk, i mentioned about the point. we remember that he flew to makiivka and that they regularly fire at donetskskaya donetskskaya, as now. now exactly the same situation is regularly under fire, donetsk makeevka, including yasinovataya gorlovka dokuchaevsk , is used, e.g. air defense and therefore the situation does not change much in terms of shelling. at the same time, what concerns the general

situation. it also needs to be characterized by its humanitarian aspects. first of all. this is connected both with mariupol and with those territories that have already been liberated. where settlements e did not suffer much, there are settlements that were practically not affected at all. it's already being actively developed. peaceful life is carried out the payment of pension benefit payments. ah, the state authorities are established. that is, by and large. these cities. already no different from the cities. e, which were previously controlled by us, with regard to the situation with mariupol. here, uh, i don't even know how to summarize it, but it's simple. there is extreme work of all our organs of all our services, not only ours. er, i can tell ordinary people here, the next thing is that there are 95 pounds of temporary accommodation open today and about 46,000 people are accommodated in these places. that is, these are the people who leave mariupol, and this figure. it is constantly changing as people

stay in some kind of temporary accommodation. and in principle, the evacuation continues. someone here is the most interesting. we read an article today. well, rather, we read the headline, but he is very eloquent in the newspaper himself. and we also led, read pike, and read unian, and it is written there verbatim quoting enslaved. so about 40,000. uh, that means refugees from mariupol are sent to some kind of, that means, disenfranchised slave labor in russia without rules of correspondence and so on. here you are, of course, now you have told about the points temporary detention told about the refugees from mariupol i immediately rezanulo think wow and here, and then much further as and then what? part of the people , uh, leave for the russian federation, and, uh, they leave and, on their own, in their cars, cars leave for a critical state, periodically broken cars, which, without windows, are without tires at all. uh, in this state, people leave, no matter what, as far as the temporary accommodation facility is concerned. they move some of the people

move to relatives. gorlovka is also here donetsk makiivka, mining and so on, some people leave for the territory of the russian federation. in addition, the fact that you mentioned slave labor there, but i want to tell you that mariupol is an industrial city and, uh, there are metallurgical plants there. most of the people were involved in the work at these factories in donetsk in the donetsk people's republic as a whole, and there are also mental industrial enterprises and now in temporary accommodation centers people are announced that people are required to work we have their labors arrange. they go to work in the same factories. with the announcement of conditions what is the salary ? what are the living conditions, accommodation in hostels, and so on and so forth, so in this regard we are trying to leave as many people as possible in the donetsk people's republic, people need hands. moreover, qualified personnel, so to speak, of course, it is clear that

many thanks to alexey yuryevich alexey nikonorov was in direct contact with us, the head of the administration of the head of the dpr well, in this regard, listen and god bless him okay with this, he is with this, who find some formulations there. so, if only nothing so clear, intelligible and unambiguous, but also hard, is not to be said. well, god bless you , negotiations are underway in istanbul now, negotiations between two delegations. many of our experts make perfectly understandable statements. so to speak, skepticism and everything else everything else. okay, god bless him. ah, well, that’s completely specific, because it’s clear that the topics there are like this, crimea donbass is a neutral status, although now it seems that ukraine has moved on from a dead point on this issue as well reluctantly admitted that they are ready for this status. must be serious. here is a specific topic for you . here is a specific topic for negotiations. vladimir vladimirovich and here, but if we go from this direction, here is the specific topic of water supply to the city of donetsk and mariupol in this way. yes , getting rid of the suffering of tens, if not hundreds

of thousands of people, is this not a topic for negotiations? one of one of no more, no less for at least the ukrainian delegation, but what about water? well, for three years now, i've probably been saying, that the war for water is an expected thing, but it is impossible to calmly look at the prediction of meteorologists. and if it’s really hot, well , what’s wrong that water was blocked in crimea, and when they tried to bring water desalination plants under sanctions, they forced these plants to withdraw it was with turbines. simons is connected, you understand, therefore water, war for water. she the only thing that causes concern here and now i do not see a solution and i, uh, judging by the propaganda that ukraine is spreading around humanitarian things. she is focused on other things. she really says that people are being driven into slavery that children are being stolen zelensky generally say, well, let's break off the negotiations, because what children of our children are we stealing nonsense to? why does anyone understand? what yes, i

understand very well the children were taken out of the region of the war. and he says, these are ukrainian children, they have a ukrainian county. return them otherwise it is considered theft, and with this narrative he turns to the west, for understanding, let's say european greets with protrusions attention is, of course, ukrainian by this, that they say children are stolen, so we will not negotiate, well, back to the water. and you know that but the problems will end. here right now. uh, there uh water supply problems in donetsk . i grew up. i also had 2 hours of water a day in lviv. i mean, there was a restriction on water for this, because there was not enough capacity, and you get used to how to live in these conditions, when you got water for 2 hours on the toilet , brought buckets down, that is, it’s everyday life. but if we look a little further, then, when businesses recover and water consumption increases, then the question is, where to stop your military operation, which should guarantee humanitarian issues in the future, because if

you stop some businesses without water, then it will be environmentalists. there is no catastrophe and there is no difference, it is in the crimea or this donbass, respectively, this is a protocol thing for negotiations. let's put water out of joint patrols. or will it be a completely different new formation, in in which there will be non-state responsibility, but in which i don't know, well, there are joint troops. there's something else that needs to be parenthesized. and when they speak, i speak honestly. i don't believe in negotiations. now for one simple reason, because if you take the narrative of ukraine, then tomorrow there will be another portion, roses. tomorrow there will be another batch of volunteers and. b. the principle can impose its own rules, so i don’t really believe in some kind of breakthrough, the appearance of representatives of a business structure there in the person of abramovich, who can to be a negotiator in the context of translating from tough diplomatic words the concept of a commercial explanation, as well as humanitarian issues you know , a little hope, well, too little, that is, i don’t fly in the clouds, so there is still one aspect, of course, it’s clear that we

met uh , all kinds of minsk signed with them. and one and two the result of seven is roughly known. it is, as they say, near zero, so, uh, it is clear that they are not in the mood for negotiations at all. it is clear that all their comments about this is out of the question. this, perhaps, we will discuss and so on, of course, but there is something else they are simply not just negotiating non-agreements suitable not just incapable of negotiating. i have the feeling that they are demonstratively with some kind of i don’t even know theatrically, yes, they make such amazing statements that they prescribe these reprises. maybe yes. look, here is the head of the ukrainian foreign ministry dmitry kuleba called attention attention. here. uh, a new verb for you in this context called for all countries.
