machine

everything everything was taken from us and the gold was taken and the money was taken everything sat there did not come out just everything was burned not home nothing is there nothing is left head of the european commission ursula von der leyen presented the new package of sanctions against russia is already the sixth package of sanctions, it includes a ban on the import of russian oil and the disconnection of three large russian banks, including sberbank, from the swift system, the end of the restrictions that must be agreed by all eu member states,

zoryana stepanenko follows the events in brussels my congratulations, what is currently known about the sixth package of sanctions and whether there is political will to approve the oil embargo. congratulations, the future of the european union is currently being written in ukraine, so it is surprising here are interested in it defeating russia with these words, the eu leadership and presented a new package of sanctions on the economic front, the russian banks that remained intact during the introduction of the previous packages and now after the buchi atrocity, the siege of mariupol, where globalization reached them, are becoming targets on the economic front, swift is critically important for the russian financial system sberbank, which accounts for 37 percent of the entire banking sector and the same is waiting for two other large russian banks, the restrictions will also affect the three major state broadcasters will no longer be able to spread their propaganda in europe in any form, neither through cable, via satellite, nor through

mobile applications, it is enough to provide them with platforms for spreading lies, this is a quote from the president of the european commission, and personal blacklists are getting longer there will become at least 57 surnames more where there are more high-ranking military and political officials and members of their families who are considered by the eu to be involved in war crimes in ukraine, in particular, sanctions are imposed on the patriarch of the russian orthodox church kirill, as well as on the wife of dmytro piskov this sends another important signal to tatyana nation and his eldest daughter, elizaveta tyshchenko, to all criminals of the kremlin, we know who you are, we will bring you to justice, and you will not get away with it. putin wanted to erase ukraine from the map, he clearly will not succeed, on the contrary, ukraine rose up in unity and this is his own country, russia is sinking we want ukraine to win this war however, the most sensitive point of the new

package of sanctions is the oil barge, the president of the european commission admitted that it will not be easy because there are countries that are already too dependent on russian oil, so they offer a phased complete cessation of supplies only at the end of this year, so that the ukrainians who are eu members have time to find other suppliers of raw materials and that the damage to them is minimal, because in the end, in order to help ukraine , the european economy must remain strong , fondarline emphasized today, as always, all countries should give the green light to sanctions and the members of the eu and in order for argo oil to be passable, so to speak , in brussels, they were ready to make exceptions for hungary and slovakia, which are particularly dependent on russian oil and have little to do with sanctions would be a year longer, however, budapest did not become more conciliatory in the government there, they still see a threat to hungary's energy security, and western diplomats say on the condition of anonymity that bulgaria and the czech republic can also ask for exceptions, well , that is, if exceptions are provided for one, then why can't they ask for them others well, by

the way, in prague they are already hinting that the plan of the european commission should be finalized, the eu ambassadors continue to discuss the new package of sanctions tomorrow . asked well, while this remains an intrigue. thank you , zoryan. we are waiting for new details from you, in particular, regarding the sanctions of zoryan stepanenko from brussels. the statement of the ambassador of ukraine to germany, andriy melnyk, addressed to chancellor allo fashilts, has provoked loud discussions for the second day in a row, which boils down to two questions: does the ambassador have the right to such statements and how much the chancellor has to endure. i will remind you that german chancellor offshol said that he does not plan to go to kyiv because of ukraine's refusal to host german president frank-walter steinmeier. first accept it from steinmeier. well, i will come later, ukrainian ambassador to germany andrii melnyk reacted to this. he said, quote, pretending to be an offended

liver sausage does not sound very pro-state. scholz did not react to this, but a number of other german politicians sharply criticized melnyk . olafsholz is not a sausage, he is the chancellor of the federal this should be respected by the republic of germany - said the vice-speaker of the bundestag, wolfgang kubiki, some members of the bundestag even demand to recall the ukrainian ambassador, can this the scandal affected the position of germany regarding the introduction of sanctions against russia and aid for ukraine . let's talk further with us on the link of the addresses of uml and the analyst-stom in gostok. i apologize from the stockholm center for east european studies of the swedish institute of international relations. you have a great title. i congratulate you. thank you , ambassador melnyk . at the same time, he noted that despite the fact that he insulted scholz, someone says that this is an insult with a liver sausage, that zelensky will be very

happy to accept the chancellor in the future, but uh, in the country, in addition to a symbolic visit, she is also waiting for her arms, can this diplomatic scandal somehow affect germany's position on germany's aid to ukraine? first of all, i apologize that i will speak in russian, so it will be more true, of course, i don't think that this is connected to the other. which started with the fact that the dreamer was supposed to go with the other presidents of eastern europe to kiev, but he still didn’t go, although there is a complicated story there, apparently there was no invitation, but it was just uh, well, apparently in kiev they didn't want him to join this delegation , and uh, and that's all, how would he get uh,

such a negative clip from the rest of the negatives in germany? that is a landmark event, but now the chancellor has decided that he will not go to kiev yet, because there is an incident by stein mayor. and here is the expression that is there used by melnyk, it 's actually uh, in german, it's not uh, it's terrible, that's it, uh, it's an ironic expression purely german, in general, it seems to me that this is too much, so to speak, to traumatize this expression, although it may be that it is slightly moderate , so to speak, to have this conversation with the german government. i do not think that this will affect the actual policy of germany

they can distinguish between these diplomatic things and big political issues, okay, but tell me what is going on with the rating of olaf scholz against the background of the war in ukraine, i will remind you that, for example , the rejection of the don embargo on oil and gas, he explained the economic well-being of the german people , so against the background of this, what about his ratings ? countries, after all , foreign policy is secondary, domestic policy comes first , and here germany is indicative of a more complicated situation, because it really has a second largest part of the industry, which for the time being depends in particular on imports

russian gaza is the most difficult issue for germany. and if the import of this gaza were to be completely stopped now, then there would probably be several enterprises closed , hundreds of thousands of unemployed would appear, and there might be some this is a chain reaction. this is now a big discussion in germany. what could be the consequences ? that's why they were suffering from a difficult situation because, on the one hand, there is support for ukraine in the people. great empathy and sympathy and also the desire to help from the other side, too, people already feel the effects of the already introduced sanctions and are also afraid, eh. here are even more far-reaching effects, eh, here are future sanctions, eh, this, eh , in germany, it drove itself here in this impasse it is necessary to say this and it is recognized now because

it has built its foreign economic relations in such a way that it has fallen into this dependence on russia partially two weeks ago, for example, the same olafshol said that a sharp embargo on russian energy will not stop the war and vice versa will lead to an economic crisis in europe. and now the german media, in particular, are writing that germany is ready to immediately support the eu ban on russian oil, what are these metamorphoses connected with? and now, as it were, the decision to halt the import of russian coal has already been adopted. i think scientists too

a year and there will be, in general, the import of russian gaza will decrease more and more, so there is no such big change in politics . - э такая мереднейная introduction э vsse dalshe in circling the sanctions that are considered to be only moderate what today is still necessary embalming regardless of all the eh consequences that this will have in particular for eh let's say the german chemical industry and metallurgy eh but in in principle there is the solution is to get away from all imports of all russian energy sources, the question is only when er- er this will complete this process er-er for now, the policy is such that er-er it has already decreased,

this import is already decreasing, and it will decrease further, but only in a world in which there will be some kind of replacement for this russian one. allow me one more short question, but apparently you communicate more closely with the german political elites . its economy on tight in economic relations with russia, these mistakes are recognized there, there is criticism and the criticism itself is even here , eh, well, the same time airer admitted, eh, that, let's say, his support for nord stream-2 was wrong, and also , this is even more self-critical, eh well, the discussion around the politicians of the last 20 years and gergorshirder is completely stigmatized and

isolated now, even in his own party. alas, the result so far what remains is that this is a partial dependence and now efforts are being made to reduce this именская, thank you very much for the comment on the addresses of omla and the analyst of the stockholm center for eastern european studies of the swedish institute of international relations. thank you very much. the russian military continues to attack from the luhansk region to capture the city of popasna shelling is carried out by artillery, as explained by the military of the armed forces of ukraine. it is this direction

that is strategic for the russian occupying forces. after the city of popasna, a direction opens deep into the donetsk region, namely to the city of bakhmut. however , they say that the military paid too high a price to surrender their positions. details from maryan kushnir now the village is being shelled, the shell is landing very close, the artillery artillery shelling has been going on for a long time, maybe an hour, and we can hear the fighting in the background, the

ukrainian military continues to defend luhansk region is still fighting, artillery and rocket systems of salvo fire are working, this is exactly the area where the ukrainian military is trying to push back the russian forces and actually repel them away from the enemy. currently, this is one of the directions where the russian military is actively trying to go in this direction is actually very important

for the russians because, in fact , they did not win such a big victory for all this in two months , their so-called special operation, that is, in addition to the huge loss of personnel, equipment and the like they have not gained anything in principle, that is why they are fighting for popasno, including for the sake of, for example, if they manage to take popasno, this will open the way for them to bakhmut and to other cities and to lysichanska, that's why they actually throw such a huge amount of effort that is, well, in fact, we can sum up that in these two months we have in the order of more than a thousand confirmed destroyed er mercenaries er mobilized russian personnel and in general, i don’t know who they identified. thousands is only in terms of personnel and only in 200s, respectively, we can transfer that in relation to

300s, it will be the language of the chief to multiply three times, that is, in fact, 4,000 people who, well, will not interfere with us anymore, thank god for us, they charge it themselves, that is and they are helped by their support and command at home and at home. can it help? it also helps. in other words, it all motivates the fighters . they won't give us normal for every guy, it was a war and it has already become personal, for whom it didn't even become, that is, you understand. it's a horde. she just came to your house, she's not

quick, she kills your relatives, she just mocks people, but it can't be easy, you have to pass without being ordered. and that's why. well, here only until the end, only until victory on the night of stanislav shushkevich, the first head of independent belarus, died today in minsk at the age of 87. his wife iryna reported this. from 1991 to 1994 , shushkevich headed the verkhovna rada of belarus. participation in the first presidential elections in belarus , in which he took fourth place, by the way, this was the first and last presidential election in belarus, which was recognized as free and fair at the international level, then oleksandr lukashenko won

for criticizing shushkevych's policy. by the way, he never spared abusive words. shushkevych spoke out for the european future of belarus, criticized putin's regime, condemned russia's occupation of donbas and crimea, as well as the russian invasion in february of this year. contact us igor and lash, belarusian journalist, political analyst, my friends greetings shushkevich, he is the one who will go down in history in belarus, this is a great man from an unquestionably iconic figure for belarusian history, he is a symbol of the second path of the european election that he could make in the belarusian people in 194 did not do it, they chose the second path, which led us to where we are now in the conditions of uh, these are the days of totalism and mass repressions, and of course, it is,

as i already said, this is exactly such a symbol uh the second path of belarus, the european path, and belarus must definitely be grateful to him for the liquidation of the soviet union, for the contribution he made to the acquisition of independence in the early 1990s, for the fact that belarus became a nuclear-free state, and for the withdrawal of nuclear weapons of territories of belarus because if now lukashenko was uh nuclear because it would very much change schedules in general in the region that's why uh yes and the return of the national symbols of uh the first chase was a red and white flag this is also uh all top what did shushkevich put his hand to, and this is his period, the period when, well, de jure, he was the head of the belarusian state. well, because the council was the highest state body according to

the constitution, it is definitely included in the show already in history as of now the peak of democracy and by the way, lukashenko has already spoken out about the death of shishkevich, and i think that most likely there will be no official condolences, and if there are any, i think it will be in a very unpleasant tone, because his relationship with shishkevich it is well-known that some journalists and analysts generally express it. well, what do we count on them hating him as a symbol of such an anti-self as the complete opposite of his method both in politics and in the manner of communication, and in general, repeatedly lukashenko was very angry about him , and shushkevich, in turn, has always been a consistent critic of the lukashenko regime. he will pass his

last days in general, how he communicated with the press, he always talked about it, even in the conditions of total terror that we have been observing lately let me go back to the war in ukraine, today is the 70th day, what is the role of the lukashenko regime? now, today, and lukashenko himself in the war , yes, the role is obvious. of russian aggression against a-a ukraine, but now the belarusian direction itself has lost its relevance, perhaps for quite possibly temporarily a-a otvediny, how much eh report eh analytical studies on the general mass media, most of the russian troops from the territory of eh belarus were withdrawn and transferred to the east of ukraine and now let's put it this way, the position and role of belarus in this conflict is not

entirely determined. reaction of the belarusian armed forces, it is definitely necessary to analyze it in the context of the war . this does not mean that the belarusian army is preparing for some aggressive actions, but nevertheless , in some sense, moscow is definitely investing in these actions because, well, me eh, i doubt that it was just incest of kiev from minsk, it is possible to create some additional tension in russia, we do not pay attention, it is possible in this a-a, too, there is a sense now what concerns, in principle, the prospects of entering into a conflict a-a in belarus, it seems to me that at a certain stage lukashenko was able to convince putin that for the time being, in any case, the entry of the belarusian army into the war does not make sense for russia and may even be harmful. what is this conditional on the fact that the level of support for the idea

of ​​the entry of the belarusian army into the war in belarus is at the level of three percent, here is a study by the devil house shows that it is three percent. now i remembered, remember, there was such a meme in 2020, sasha 3% yes, but it was just a meme that was not confirmed by real sociological studies, lukashenko’s rating was definitely the highest and now he is the highest of these three percent, and here is the level of support for the entry of belarus into the war. lesson e-e army a-a that exists in the conditions when the society according to which support and participation in the war is equal to three percent is an unreliable army it is a potentially unreliable army and the first defeat they can lead to riots revolutions and so on, and in this sense, the situation is

really so serious that it probably makes no sense for putin to pressure lukashenko about joining the war, because the belarusian forces are not big enough to change the course of the war in a bloody way. if this really leads to destabilization of the situation in belarus and the fall of the lukashenko regime, in fact, it will open a second front for russia, because putin will remain before the election, either to fully occupy the country or in general, he is leaving belarus. and this is where the political catastrophe is. igor ilyasha, a belarusian journalist and political analyst was in touch with us . freedom life will return to the air tomorrow, and i will remind you to subscribe to the channel and radio freedom on the internet. there are two channels on youtube: radio freedom and radio freedom ukraine and social media pages until tomorrow, mariupol, life was hell in mariupol,
