10:30 am
that is ready, so we to, to full of prison in the army officials. unicef has accused israel of crimes against humanity is the day starting september 30th on d. w. the drones far away from the front lines and ukraine, increasingly striking crimea. and even moscow is the russian position, becoming more vulnerable. are russians getting tired? the main question which is existing because the rest of society today is why so low? why so know where is the great structure nami, which was described many times, one of the best in the world. andre failed off as a former deputy foreign minister of russia. he's my guest this week on conflicts own joining us from moscow. how much should the west be concerned about putting
10:31 am
closing up with north korea is putting out of options, of course, that that is of interest as the venture of the nuclear war on korean peninsula. and with more evidence of russian atrocities in ukraine who will be held accountable. andre fail, daughter of welcome to complex own investigations by the un had been documenting further evidence of russian war crimes and ukraine, including wilful killings. attacks on civilians, unlawful confinement, torture, rape force transferred, and dis, the partitions of children. when you were on this program last year, you were asked if you were personally ashamed of what russian soldiers are doing to civilians in ukraine. you said that you didn't have a real picture of what was going on with the picture of brutality. now becoming even clear. are you ashamed as well?
10:32 am
it's more as well. it's a serious war. and of course, there are some cases we can be consider it as i remember that, but it's was unfortunate say this will allow us to, to long now it's $572.00 bags. and the problem is that this war is becoming more and more powerful. and uh, what is a more important, that is clear understanding going to both sides, the piece will last long, and that's why it's great additional problems. i mean, that's the us. but mister dorval's, what about, what about the ukranian children taken to russia? for example. i mean, keith says it has identified almost 20000. russia has refused to provide information about the children or even worked with a neutral intermediaries such as the red cross to register and repatriate them. are those children last forever? no, no them up. the last, there is a request for grant inside to identify the children we choose a be
10:33 am
a return to their parents, etc, etc. mazda, of course, it's still the question which needs most probably outside of the assistance, because the direct contacts between rough and ukraine, and now on the 0 level. and so we are facing goal is appropriate for this. and of course, this question is important for russia because of the decision of the international criminal criminal court. and we would like to clarify this things, but russia has a sort of thing where she has been blocking that outside assistance, mr for field off. and in fact, as it's doing so, it is also targeting or appearing to target civilians and ukraine, schools, markets residences, the united nation saying that those attacks have been indiscriminate and disproportionate. and in fact, after an official visit to ukraine this month, the you in special rep, a tour on torture, said that russia's armed aggression is becoming synonymous with torture and other
10:34 am
in humane cruelty st. quote. these grievous acts appear neither random nor incidental, but rather orchestrated as part of a state policy to intimidate and still fear, punish, and extract information and concessions. who should be held accountable for these grievous acts. oh, this is a very hot question because uh, what is appropriate today. the problem today is uh that, uh, the russian army is in defense position. russ allow me a cannot to stop its older offensive operation. and this was the point. the key point is to increase strikes on ukraine with messiahs, with drones, et cetera. and of course, such kind of strikes will damage both civilian and transport them for such a business and will cost additional uh,
10:35 am
casualties. especially, i think it will be reasonable in the coming couple of months because of the war is now turning in more into position war and strikes besides price will be in the main, the main element of the war. but we're talking here about accountability, accountability for what the un describes as a parent, disregard for civilian harm and suffering. what does that account ability right at the top? what about putting there's an icy see investigation and rest warrant for war crimes already issued, including for both putting and rushes. children's commissioner accusing them of personal responsibility for the abductions of children from ukraine. does anyone care? uh, is the russia offensive speaking? no one gets too much and then the rest is ignoring the warrant, binds and there's no criminal court. and though of course,
10:36 am
we can didn't swim to south africa to break some is because of this war. and i know that as a big quarrel about this warrens without a mania which will rectify rome, states. but inside russ um there is no such kind of feelings. advice is guilty. i'd like to come back to accountability, but 1st, let's talk a little bit about more about ukraine's counter offensive. the latest attacks in russian occupied crimea in the port of sylvester pole, appears to be the largest on the russians. lexi fleet to base and the 1st known strike on a russian submarine in the conflict. ukraine is trying to cut off russian troops from supply lines. russian troops are becoming more vulnerable here, aren't they? oh, the question is really simple. what's going on there? i can tell you that the, the biggest problem for russian today is that russia is in defense. and
10:37 am
uh, this implants on many political decisions here as well as me is this. for us, the problem is that the ukraine are easily receiving a new, effective weapons. and so best of them will ensue of the some way in november. don't our smith's house will come through grade. i see no profits for this. this is from my assessment for you on the way. then of course, uh this is uh, making a kremlin much more nervous because this strikes uh, touching up on the crimea. but that function a different thoughts of a roster including must go drones. that that's a must go nearly every day. i must go most coverage in the labor day. so this is changing the nature. and the problem is the restaurant can also, so it's kind of a challenge not by offensive operations the ground, but only with the heavy. so if you have some pro telegram channels raising concerns
10:38 am
over the ukranian counter offensive describing a difficult situation at the front uh, successful attacks in crimea, there are below to russia in the past days. ukraine also saying that it has retaken villages around boston boot. how are these moves viewed inside russia? does the general public share of them at all? no general public here. but of course, official propaganda is very effective here, saying that everything is okay that there's no damage for us, etc, etc. reality is that uh the main question which is existing because the rest of society today is why so low? what so? know where is the great flushing, mommy, which was described many times one of the best in the world. and of course uh if uh, officially of course that is a position that you create and offensive is a big failure. but i know also
10:39 am
a point of view from my credit and colleagues was saying no, yes, we need to reach too much. but we stopped uh, russian army movie follow on the right, on the roster last initiative. so what you claim its the best, the, the best as the fence outlet next year. if, if the russians are asking why so long, you know, what do they also think? when they're hearing and seeing more drones strikes inside russia itself, including in moscow where there are reports of drones, frequently causing flight delays and even damage that must be unsettling to civilians. isn't it? as of course uh is makes less than sealants, uh much more than others. uh, 1st of all because of the goal and effect, including uh, effects and what's the most good reason that is nearly every day. the lights on the slides in the morning from all of the most cool app. lots. of course,
10:40 am
it's great. it's a problem. it's, it's, it's great. the question is declare, great, great. so, so what questions concerning our ad defense, our monthly be solved, defense, and many people asking about uh, how will we, how we should think about specific it will be a secure within the future. also one of the top questions which is still on the answer is a number of the last is a freshman. i me in the region in the, in the conflict and i'm a minister of defense is keeping it as a be a secret. but when we look at the general philosophy, i mean president learners allows, he has describes the strikes as just and fair and a way to bring the war home to russia. does he have a point putting, invaded his country in a war of choice. uh, excuse to assist you, excuse surface you and the cost of for the rest of the citizens fried, for example,
10:41 am
against moscow is in some case much more important density based on the prompt side . yes, this is, this is a question. this is a question. and the problem is that russia officially is look, considering this, it placement as a war against a crazy form of it's called special to be. so at the ration this is a kind of fun his story because of special needs population, which is which we are using, give them supersonic themselves. looks much more as a rule. and uh, from this point of view, uh, some of the arguments uh, on the rest of the tv on the roster mass media that uh, it's not the war. if you great, which is in war with lots of a compressor, is what officially the ross is. nothing was, was a great. let's talk a little bit more about the stifling a free speech and a sense because honestly, it has reported some 20000 people in russia have been the target of repressive laws
10:42 am
to suppress the country's anti war movement. a sign of desperation from the kremlin, concerned about the cent, especially with the elections approaching next year. i mean, because if they can't build support for the war, crushed assent. is that what this is a you all right? good, very well. a lot of legislative x that have been adopted your last year and i know, for example, in florida agents and plus, i'd love to see before the war started. uh, of course, uh there are a lot of cases when uh, people on the allowed to express their opinion against me directly with this. and this is where they split control over the mass media. this is what it's deeper than that is that it because i mean the united nations in a recent report just released this week describe the systemic crack down on civil society. there are these reports of a so called re awakening of totalitarian instincts and russian society with people
10:43 am
in forming on each other like in the stall in era. the opposition, of course is silenced jail door and exile. what kind of russian society do you think emerges from this for the 1st of all, i would like to say that political opposition to put in is simply thought this price that has no political position with it anymore. and i don't think that there will be a soft possible in this current situation concerning the coming presidential elections, which might took place in march next year. uh, i see properties. i see no problems. uh, the problem is only 10. 0 uh, because as far as i know, some of my many people are saying that in this situation that they, they simply don't want to go and vote so that they can, they will not say the say again, support in oregon as well. but they will just fine to express their point of view
10:44 am
by no vote. but as i said, oh, i see absolutely no problems for looking to be there that's in the spring next, the absent then. no problem. let's talk a little bit more about opposition and i'd like to turn to wagner boss if get any provision who was able to march a column of tanks within miles of moscow till about a dozen russian airmen call russia's stated reasons for invading ukraine falls. he has the sort of coltish following, and it's thought support from both the public and inside the military. and then his plane falls out of the sky. do you think that was an accident? the best of it? i think that this was the next to them. and use this man for many years. i bought the i would like to stress, that's what has happened is very interesting at your increase. you guys of appearance. uh, he never said that he wants to to express then. what was his quote and i spoke with
10:45 am
the wrong with my offence from london is to change minutes is presence in ukraine to understand she wants to amuse recommends along the stand that it's a new modem type of war. the war which is properly different from the images of the 2nd world war. and uh, and that's why he was accusing 1st of 4 minutes or come on to minutes of defense ahead of the general stop fastenal capable to understand that is because of the model. and of course, we have some serious national conflicts and was the number of people in russian at least. uh so uh, personally, i don't think it was accidental because even the fact that it has happened just 2 months. 62 months of the few statements, the state. so it is the expect people you think to believe that it was just
10:46 am
a coincidence that months after staging that uprising he, he dropped out his plane dropped out of the sky. or is this really what putting wants them to believe exactly the opposite that put in order to assess? and it's as easy as you can see. there was no, any kind of special reaction from kremlin. that's gonzalez's and that's all and in mind is less and less media. this case is needed for both now. and it comes with a sense of what, but it's not forgotten for the kremlin, as i think, as i mean, they've given regional governors the authority now to establish paramilitary units, which could have a role not only in defending borders, but also attacks from insurgents and the kremlin groups or internal descent, it's just one of a number of restrictive steps from the kremlin that appears aimed at preventing another incident like from ocean's wagner's uprising is the kremlin, afraid that a figure similar to precautions might emerge? i don't think so because then why would it take those steps?
10:47 am
uh huh. yeah. okay. so 1st of all, uh, gordon was effect. locksmith was effective, it was a real force. well, it could be for us with that real specialist with it. and what is more important, a lot of military not overly but by the binds have been on the sides of the garden. so there was a link between big bosses and ministry. this link is not the existing anymore with any other part of the permian, 3 units, etc, etc. so the main problem that's, that days was link between but it was and possibly meet 3 was also in sites is 5 called to me is called limited tri price is going go. now it's self existing. so it's not gonna be then just for kremlin. uh, but uh, in the what it was that grades and decorating this as groups owned in the regions
10:48 am
like belle grove, etc, that i'm upgrading them in most going usually regions. no. let's talk a little bit more about russia's role in the world worlds because it just rolls out the red carpet for a week long visit with north korea's kim jong on. it's thought that came either has already or could demand technology that could improve the range of his missiles for nuclear weapons or russian satellite and submarine secrets. what does put and want oh, it's still saying very shortly with uh, whiskey and gives visits. i know those korea, but it goes for many, many years up in the face of the game, she is receiving a very good constance, troublemaker, was it so the west, mainly for united states for japan which can be useful very, very useful and less important policy. but generally,
10:49 am
my relation is that a, as so many, many years uh to do is uh, based in queues policy on the, on the understanding is that the wolf should fall. oh, he's rude. but let's let us listen what the world is concerned about, what the world is concerned about though we have to bring it back to that is, is that there might be an arms deal that comes out of this. russia has gone out of its way to publicize kim's visit dropping repeated hints about the prospect of military cooperation with north korea. for example, russia's defense minister showing who told russian media that moscow is discussing joint and military exercises with north korea. yes, it does not have better cards to play right now than further closing up with a global parias state. but to it in some areas is quite effective. uh nuclear. uh, 1st of all, most gloria is
10:50 am
a nuclear states that have nuclear weapons of color, legal, nuclear weapons. it's an illegal program. yes. but, but i've been many times in those korea, so i know it. uh so uh, concerning uh mr. exercises. yes, i am sure this lexia will have fran gomez for exercises rustic try and then of career. it's a new blog and you kind of before the onset, which is now full. and of course, it's a, 1st of all, it's not against you, but it says, it says it's a little pressure on japan and united states. it's all this soviet, but russia has previously supported international sanctions against north korea, 4th unlawful nuclear weapons program. do i hear you correctly? are you saying that that does not mean anything to russia anymore? yes, you're correct, russell. forget about this. isn't this a dangerous game that putting this play?
10:51 am
it's a, it's a you're talking good. talking about the, the d. stabilisation of, of the nuclear balance in asia and beyond the yes that was released because uh again the currently the and you his father, i use his grandfather came is in such a way he's, i'm predictable, but at the same time, no rush. i have some fools going thing, some can of course the that is event as a venture of the nuclear war on korean peninsula. so it's, it's rarely, it's rare to see which is, which was rarity as well for last the as well. so i know it's also saw that an arm seal between russia and north korea could backfire south korea has a big stock pile of more advanced weapons. it might be convinced to give them directly to ukraine rather than just back filling us weapons. being given to keep, it hasn't given to you've arm so far out of fear that it could prompt moscow to aid
10:52 am
p on gang. is that even any part of the calculus from las go? okay, i'm so from the uh, from uh, south korea is already going to ukraine wyatt conference. it's not the secret, of course of 10 single go that's essential with roll. and i know many people in south korea, juan now saying that south korea should have its own nuclear weapons. does it come from balance? yes, it's raising, it's raising cents. it's raise and cents. but it's a big game. it's a big game, a set. it's a game which is, which would be a little bit separated from ukraine case. it's a big game and a specific region. and that's, that's the main thing is about and not to say to what is pollutants and game. what does this ends game more broadly speaking, and also specifically in ukraine? because if we just look at the figures, i mean the un estimates that since the invasion began in february last year,
10:53 am
nearly $30000.00 civilians having killed thousands of russian soldiers go hope to achieve hope. so to me, 33. um, can you do a full uh it depends on what we can call the the 31st of all when it comes to the g. uh, mr. v 3 is nearly impossible. uh so it says this is a some rough and heats the 10th, just press the d. n to turn into a total must of strikes all over the grade. this don't ever think what this, what is existing. but of course, this will lead immediately to the much more or less than the pressure and much more appropriate for us and citizens for i called them at assessor assessor. that's why that is still a whole with most cool is that a ukraine will not be capable to uh,
10:54 am
the last long in this war. rest of course has much more reserves. but of my personal point of view, we are now facing a very clear surveys and that, uh that, uh, that, uh, the war will turn into a set of yes, definitely. you know, put in for many years. do you see anything that could bring him to the negotiating table? what could bring russia to the negotiating table at this stage? absolutely not. uh, what is the person who will read with on the back. if you decide that to do something, he will go to them for him and its position of many aspects in russia. negotiations isn't the with what you just said in mind, there are many who are predicting that the russian federation will ultimately collapse because of putin's war and ukraine. you served as deputy foreign minister
10:55 am
in the early ninety's you've witnessed 1st hand the collapse of the soviet union. do you share that view? is russia know how the loud? no russians. okay. didn't collapse rusty's heading thoughts. you problems and problems. but um, you should on the fence one think a lot of the russian nation is very much consolidated because they see food in the as a personal crusade restaurant from possible mates all glass and from it that from your credit and etc, etc. and this is in the minds of people and put people, a lot of people, many, many people believe and 14 believe important as assessment will save russia from the aggressive west for the rest of natal, etc, etc. and this will work, this will work for coming elections, etc, etc. we have to leave in there. we have to leave it there under. i failed off out.
