even though a large part of the majority of russians most likely hate ukraine now, they consider it our defeat, now they watch it in the movies on tv, it's the same story. fight, where they live, there are even sewers , i’m sorry, there aren’t any, everything just goes down the cesspool , it’s another matter when you are sent to this war, you can look up putin’s ratings, but i think it’s not even about a ratings about the stability of the state itself, because one way or another the security forces, and here are these officers, here are these officers, even the sobra e of the police, who are thrown just like cannon fodder, they largely establish the backbone of the system in russian history, every big defeat is always a deep internal discussion as a result of pushing for the revolution

some forced reforms from the mountain, because otherwise it was already impossible iron in the crimean war, the abolition of serfdom there, the defeat in the russo-japanese in general came to the point that it was necessary to create a state duma of the parliament i now i think the authorities in russia perfectly understand that if they simply give the people of the capital mass weapons to an unprofessional army, despite the fact that the officer skeleton has already been largely knocked out, they simply risk getting in russia something similar to 1917, when no ideological currents are needed, no parties are needed just a huge, unseemly sea of ​​people who do not have strong loyalty to the authorities and lack professional skills. this is the military skeleton that was essentially knocked out during the first months of the war. i want to go back to the events in the parliament that began

ah, from this our conversation with you and from the speech of the prime minister of great britain, boris johnson, after him, president volodymyr zelenskyi, who himself was in the parliament. i listened, he also addressed the deputies to boris johnson, which is interesting . there was a recording of the speech and it was sent and shown in the parliament. no, it all happened live because when the president was speaking, boris johnson was on the screen. he listened to him and reacted. well, that’s cool. it was quite short, also quite inspiring, and it was a wonderful speech, like many of his last speeches , eh, there is nothing to dig into, the only thing is that at the end, ah, when he spoke ah, he turned to the people 's deputies and said well, let's not divide the country let's go without different there are tricks of scandals, you already have a little bit of someone on or where and so on, and at the end he said that we have one party - ukraine, one faction, one monomajority, everything else harms and

splits, it seems, and now is not the time for quarrels in order for everyone to work on one front for the sake of it victory but nevertheless, well, it didn't bother you, i don't want to say that this could be such a first bell, but it's a little like a political statement that we have one faction, one monomajority , and all the rest. wars so far, it is normal to talk like that and there is nothing to worry about, you know, i will say one thing, uh, i have a certain touch with political technologies, with the media positioning of political forces, i will say now, unfortunately, a large part, if not most, of ukrainian politicians, even those who already elected political figures are afraid that they will lose their image, their ratings, their

faces during the war. and it's the same with the government, unfortunately , that's why such, you know, inadequate statements appear, some inappropriate photosets of politicians appear. yes, where are they? excuse me . kira rudyk is poor with this kalashnikov assault rifle, or like yulia tymoshenko , who does not even insert a horn into that assault rifle specifically so as not to injure anyone, and this is, unfortunately , a problem. this is a war in unfortunately, there is still a little bit of understanding in the head that there will be elections soon, so all politicians want to say that the best electoral strategy is in war - it is to think only about war, be selfless in one's country, ah, and it is best to think about elections before the elections themselves

objectively, i don't think half of the government finds a place in this situation for the party, and here, in fact, the people who make broad gestures look the most advantageous , but they create the illusion of at least unity, the illusion of a broad front zelenskyi believe me, i wouldn't lose anything. if he created at least the illusion of a coalition government or some coalition act related to the war , because well, at least there in the west, it would be considered a very positive step. universal coalition, it would be quite interesting, and the problem is the following, because the war always transfers the reformatting

of the political field, the biggest question now will not be that patriotic, some such segment because well, plus or minus, the players are the same, they are the same, some more, some less, take part in the war, and they remain the biggest question: where will the electorate go, which was previously weak, and who exactly is this niche. unfortunately, we see. by the way, i measured very well there, representatives of the pro-russian ultra-left parties of certain parties, a similar law was previously passed that prohibited the activities of other national parties. i want to ask one thing, friends. and where is the party of our region to which mr. derkach belongs, to which the collaborator e-e saldo from kherson belongs, why er, there are quite small parties in this list, there are newly created cotton parties, how is the

party, the state, with a very bad smell, but there are no parties in our region, this is a big question . with medvedchuk's wing, which should have been started a long time ago and needed to be completed a long time ago, but there is no struggle with lyovochkin 's wing, these are the biggest questions and of course, unfortunately, politics does not go anywhere even in times of war, although politics annoyed us so much in peaceful life in war she annoys mr. yaroslav three times more. by the way, we even discussed with my friends and colleagues there that yes, it is a great initiative to ban pro-russian parties. however, the same expert representatives of the russian federation can gather there to organize some fake party, well, in fact, finance it under the pretext of ukrainian and so on. and i say no, well, this is hardly possible, because from the modern

journalistic investigations there, it will all immediately become clear and obvious where the roots of the financing of the process come from , but they tell me that well, maybe not they find out because they also often do not read the news, do not use many sources of information, that is, how can there be a safeguard against this so that this does not happen in the future, so that some new political party will understand that after victory, it will be created. i think so, many new and new political parties - it's not bad, but how to protect yourself from the fact that pro-russian politicians or ex-people's deputies are not hiding behind this new political force. it is obvious that what you said was already in ukraine. the story with the sharia party is just about that, we are taking some unknown person there. she

is somewhere there, or in spain, or in lithuania, eh. she is being promoted quite a bit there in the media, and they are starting to put on tv channels that, in principle, belong to representatives of other parties how is it electorally not very profitable, but tactically it turned out to be a profitable move for them, er, there was no formal connection with the party of regions there for a passenger, and he did not have but nevertheless he got the infrastructure of influence on him there they connected the necessary sponsors there from the kharkiv region and basically brought in new people, but they were all cotton wool, some even spies, and that's why, unfortunately, the legislation here is very limited. let's say it's a limited thing because the legislation can be bypassed. the question is that the state security agencies , the national statehood protection department, for example, the relevant

units of the ministry of internal affairs, will deal with this, because objectively their task is not only to therefore, to prosecute yes, the offenses are already ready in the sense of conducting surveillance, surveillance, and even creating a certain prevention, therefore, not everything can be circumvented by the laws adopted in the council, well, let's stand out and hope that safeguards will be found and never again in the recent history of ukraine about russian forces we definitely won't have mr. yaroslav. i thank you very much for your thoughts. have a quiet, peaceful, boring night. we wish you no air worries today . doctrine, friends, we are moving on, and as you all already know, every day the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, addresses the ukrainians with such a

summary of the events of the day. today is not an exception. the president has already made this address. let's listen to it together. defenders and our defenders finally have a result, so the first result of our evolutionary operation for growth in mariupol, which we organized for a very, very long time , it required a lot of effort for new negotiations and various mediations today 156 people, women and children, arrived in zaporizhzhia. they were in shelters for more than two months. just imagine, for example, a child had six months, two of which were underground, saving them from god's shelling. finally, these people are completely safe. they are receiving help. and who helped,

we are grateful to everyone who ensured the physical movement of people in the humanitarian corridor, of course . we need everyone, everyone who remains there, both civilians and military, there was not a single day that we did not deal with this issue, that our people did not try to solve this issue, yes, we managed to achieve a ceasefire for almost three days, despite the fact that the humanitarian corridor has become operational, now the russian troops are not complying with the agreement they continue with a lot of will, strikes, posture, stand up. they are trying to storm the complex, but they told me many times that it will not be possible to save a single person, that it is impossible today, 156 people in zaporizhzhia, it is not yet a victory, but already the result. i believe that there is a chance to save our other people. it is obvious that the russian military today

reacted extremely nervously to our successes. various ukrainian cities have again become targets for russian missiles for russian strikes. that russia has some special military goal to strike transcarpathia and what it can specifically give russia. they are trying to hide their impotence because ukraine did not send them, but it is still within its power to burn the children's attractions in kharkiv's gorky park or to destroy any bridge or in general a warehouse with grain or a residential building with people

. one tragic news in the rivne region, a terrible road accident happened, a passenger car gasoline bus collided, so far 17 have died, but there may be more victims, because we have sincere condolences to all those who lost relatives and loved ones friends to provide all the necessary assistance to those who suffered. i am grateful to the prime minister of great britain and the great ii ukraine boris johnson for his support of ukraine and our defenders today boresh addressed our parliament and our people, these were very important words, warm, friendly, strong a very sincere gesture. i am grateful to britain for the new package of support for our state, which the prime minister announced today, and today i addressed the verkhovna

rada of ukraine for the first time during the full-scale war emphasized the main and main thing not only for me but for the whole of ukraine. i am sure that we must maintain maximum unity or unity depends on our success, not only political but also the defense of the state, the strength of our people, our continued very useful practice of addressing the parliaments of our partner states today to the parliament and thanked the people of albania for their support in particular and defense noted the cordiality with which the people of albania supported our people planned other such appeals also spoke with the representatives of the largest global companies, the siosfernal club is a very influential club, trillions of dollars are the total turnover of the companies whose leaders are in this club,

however, how to put pressure on russia to end the war , how to rebuild ukraine after the war together , what the post-war model of the ukrainian economy can be, they believe that such economic diplomacy is one of our most important tasks. i spoke today with the president of poland, ange will congratulate him and the entire polish people on the national holiday of the polish constitution, they discussed further cooperation, concrete steps and informed the support of our defense about the current situation about the market of hostilities, but what is happening in mariupol during the evacuation of ukrainians and about what else we can do together to help protect our state, our common freedom of ukrainians and poles of all european countries, traditionally, before recording the address, he signed award decrees of our heroes

, 185 servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine were awarded state awards, two of them, a partner who was still our defenders, were awarded the title of hero of ukraine eternal glory to all our heroes eternal memory to everyone eternal memory to everyone who gave their lives for our state glory to ukraine glory to the heroes we have just started the daily briefing of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi and we are adding to the air our next guest ihor samivolos, executive director of the center for middle eastern studies, mr. ihor good evening, how do you hear, it's working fine. i planned to start the conversation with another topic . the president just said in his address, what

in your opinion provoked such activity in russia, the approach of the ninth of may or not, it is not worth looking for such secret signs, well, we understand the idea of ​​war, shelling, they were there all the time, but today something very massive flew all over ukraine well, i would like to remind the audience of the message of the british intelligence recently, not literally yesterday, that the russians are planning strikes on the infrastructures, objects, objects of the ukrainian railway in order to slow down a-a the supply of the latest weapons to ukraine, in fact, if we analyze the objects at which the russians aimed, then these were precisely the objects of this infrastructure, the railways, and it is already reported that the railway has suffered certain e-damages, that is, it can be

said unequivocally that this report about which a-a warned yes or a warning that was sent to us by the british development well, it’s just being implemented now, and here everyone is tonight , uh, in your opinion, the negotiation process, we know that it’s ongoing, well, ukraine can’t get out of it yet to come out, although the president has already repeatedly outlined the red lines that if russia crosses , the negotiations will end, ah, in your opinion, the role of a mediator could somehow contribute to these negotiations, and speaking of the mediator, i mean the president of turkey, erdogan, because it seems to me that he is the one has recently been actively offering turkey as a negotiating platform as a platform for a meeting between the president of ukraine zelenskyi and the russian dictator putin, can turkey

play an important role here, and is putin in russia will listen to the authority because it seems to me well , we already heard such thoughts on the air that then he understands the language of power, and turkey knows how to show this power successfully, probably because negotiations are necessary in any conflict , negotiations from this parts of the conflict why are they needed because, in addition to such fundamental issues as war and peace, there are humanitarian issues in uman and humanitarian issues arise almost as soon as conflicts begin, so if there are conflict areas and there is interaction and there are mediators who can ensure the effectiveness of negotiations on humanitarian issues, this is very important, the huge role of international

humanitarian organizations, which should ensure the implementation of the geneva conventions, is more difficult for us, because we see that the russians behave very let's say that all these life associations interpret these in general as they behave clearly not following the rules, including the administration of war, but let's go back to mediation. well, let's go, erdoğan is at the moment, he is the most influential mediator and he has authority. i hope he has enough influence on putin so that his words will be heard for the time being. unfortunately, i state that in

humanitarian issues. and now humanitarian issues are the most important for us, and for now erdoğan did not achieve any results. in other words, all the negotiations that took place during this time on humanitarian issues were not implemented, so it is obvious here. i have sinned against the truth. the corridor from mariupol at the request of erdoğan. it seems that it was launched like this, but in fact, it became the last location from mariupol. well, it seems possible after the visit of the un secretary general to moscow and then to kyiv. that is, it is not an achievement of erdoğan, and it is clear that we would like to see actually a more active position and the game is the most active, and the active attempts

of turkish diplomacy to achieve some more concrete result regarding mariupol, so far there is none, and we see that these efforts are not leading to anything. and i can say that the main thing is the task of turkish diplomacy now is still to hold negotiations at the highest level in istanbul, where there will be a mandatory presence, that is, the role here is not actually the negotiations between putin and zelensky themselves, as an attempt to expose erdoğan to strengthen the person who managed to put these politicians at the negotiating table. in my opinion, on the element a-a, not putin. putin is definitely not ready to sit down. i say that's why he is already afraid of zelensky. that is, he should get up again for you to negotiate at the table. somehow the result and he is afraid that he will not

achieve the result that he wants. zelenskyi, on the other hand, can and wants to sit down at the negotiating table because he just knows how to play and knows how to behave. we can now set certain conditions, because the russians have achieved those that they had planned for the whole day. therefore, simply based on this, it is hardly possible to assume that such negotiations are possible in the near future, which means that all the efforts, the vast majority of the efforts of the turkish diplomacy well, if they are focused precisely on the meeting at another level, they will sound the horn. that is, they will not be there, that is, there will be efforts, efforts, and i would. actually, this is a problem. this is good, but only when it brings a certain result, that is, when both sides are ready to listen to the

mediator , we russians are ready. of the president of the usa, joe biden, here is today, by the way, fresh information, joboden visited the factory of a company that produces weapons systems, among them, in particular, javelin anti-tank missiles. here, well, once again the president said in a speech that the usa supports ukraine and will lead it to victory, they are confident in the victory of ukraine, well, that is, such statements already even constantly, how much putin is afraid or not afraid of the american president, in your opinion, i think that he wants negotiations with biden, is he in this story at all? obviously, it was one of those that is, i do not rule out that everything started in a utopian way, but not for putin - direct negotiations

with biden, that is, he formed the promotion of himself to a certain level from the country of a superpower, yes, that is, the return to the status of the soviet union is an important goal for him, that is, such negotiations are not interesting to leave now , biden is not interested in biden, well in fact, in fact, we see the behavior of the americans starting from december of last year, when they, well, basically gave up on er, they gave up on the dictates of the russians , that is, on reacting to the dictation of the russians, and because the russians are calculated on the fact that um. and these threats that they launched in december will lead to the fact that the americans will be forced to retreat, make concessions, react in some way, instead, the americans behaved well, the

climate is diplomatically balanced, that is, they received russian demands reacted to them accordingly. that is, it was a procedure that was cold, cold, and a clearly calculated procedure , and as part of this procedure, a meeting between biden and putin was not foreseen at all, that is, the americans from the very beginning, they bet on the fact that putin is trying to play this game and that the americans will not go for it, by the way, today, speaking of the states, the verkhovna rada, the deputies met in the parliament and they adopted an appeal to the united states to recognize russia as a state sponsor of terrorism , m.m. considering again biden's statements, he already called putin a butcher, a war criminal , but it's one thing to tell journalists, it's another

thing to actually recognize russia as a sponsor of terrorism at the official level, the united states will go for it states, well, in the biden team, it is absolutely true that there are different experts, different advisers and who have a different approach, some are softer, some are tougher in relation to russia, and there is no i think well, at least as of now, there is some unequivocal support for this idea and also on in my opinion, there are problems because for biden a coalition with europeans is very important, well, ukrainians with the european union, i don't think that everyone in the european union is ready for such formulations. therefore, this is a good attempt of ours, and how important is it, what will it give us if recognizing russia at the official level as a state sponsor

of terrorism is a moral satisfaction of ours, this will impose additional sanctions on russia - this will limit russia, especially when it comes to financial flows and the like, this will actually limit russia's ability to international organizations at the level of the security council. i do not see such possibilities. that is, this is our political desire and it is absolutely legitimate, and this political desire will create a certain pressure on the negotiations within the european union between of the united states of america and the european union. when they will discuss sanctions, discuss the next steps aimed at supporting ukraine against russia, and this will be all the same

. and a peaceful boring night without any air alarms, let me remind you. this was ihor semevolos, executive director of the center for middle eastern studies, dear viewers. we are now going with you to watch the national news briefly about the most important things, then we return here and continue the discussion with the next guests for the next hour, please wait my symbols good evening, we are ukraine, a symbol of our indomitability, we stood on the lockers and were not rude, a symbol of revenge and memory of the ancestors of the good
