portnikov and we will continue the broadcast of the espresso tv channel, we will talk with you about the latest events in ukraine and in the world, comment on these events, answer your questions, you can ask them on the espresso facebook page, on my personal e-e page, the news now looks like this in the world that here we are talking with you, and historical events are happening just right now, right now, when we are talking to you, we can follow the press conference of the swedish government, the historic press conference that started 15 minutes ago on to whom the swedish government presents its vision of security challenges for this country, which has been a neutral country for 200 years in a row, and you and i all

understand that we are talking about sweden's accession to nato. behind the hole in which fifth supported finland's membership in the north atlantic union, it is expected that on sunday finland will officially announce that it is applying for membership in nato, and today everyone expected what the report of the swedish government would be sweden began the process of discussing the possibility of joining nato more discreetly than finland, not so quickly, it all happened later than in the movies, and everyone was wondering whether the swedish position would be similar to the position of

finland, although it must be said that in swedish society this position was always perceived as the finnish position as a positive that helps sweden make the right decision yesterday the leading swedish newspaper dagens nuhetter published an editorial called thank you to finland for courage and coldness blood endurance, and it was emphasized that finland made everything holy by its behavior, that it was not afraid of russia, that sweden made an important

decision about joining nato. it was certainly an ironic moment considering that at one time the territory of finland was known to be under the protection of the swedish kings and was part of the swedish kingdom but nevertheless it is such a very important moment well, now it is said that the swedish government emphasized in this analysis that sweden's accession to nato will reduce the danger of conflicts in northern europe. this is the main conclusion made by the minister of foreign affairs of sweden at this moment. i repeat that this is all happening now live now citizens of sweden, residents of all european countries can follow this

report of the swedish government and we will return to you at the end of our conversation, perhaps to the conclusions of the swedish government regarding the acceptance of the donation, but yes they repeat that in fact you and i are present today at historical events because we are going to talk about nato as a security system. i really hope that sooner or later ukraine will also join the north atlantic union. finland, sweden's participation in nato will significantly increase the effectiveness of this defense alliance, i don't know do you remember that russian military experts on television discussed the possibility of capturing the swedish island of gotland as a bridgehead for the occupation of latvia and lithuania, and this may seem like a joke, but it is not

a joke you and i have long understood that russian propagandists are in civilian clothes or in uniform. they never joke. they express plans that may be clear to them from their communication with russian leaders. nato is not just some step of a political nature, this is a significant strengthening of the military potential. well, finland is a country that fought twice with the soviet union and lost precisely because, firstly, the number immoderately, as we understand the finland of the soviet union. because during the second world war, finland, which was already at war with the soviet union before that, naturally chose nazi germany as an ally, this could no longer lead to victory in

this situation that developed in europe, but one way or another before this events must be taken very seriously in the context of our future with you now about what is happening now let's talk about how what should be the russian political plans let's try to understand what the president wants to achieve today of the russian federation, vladimir putin in the war that he unleashed against ukraine on february 24, 2022, in a war in which he obviously does not win, but does not recognize himself as the winner, you see that now the armed forces of ukraine are quite successfully pushing out the russian troops from kharkiv oblast. they are already talking about this ukrainian sources say this from the ministry of defense of great britain, which generally believes that russian troops are leaving the kharkiv region, this is a

very important moment. and so we must remember that the russian military command actually has in the first weeks after the russians invaded ukraine, there were several choices of action options. the first was to act in many directions at once, and it was absolutely obvious that this direction was absolutely doomed to defeat, because there is no great sense in acting in this way, and the russian army does not it turned out to be quite enough forces to immediately occupy ukrainian territories in the north and in the east and in the south, and it is obvious that the organizers of this campaign did not expect to encounter such resistance from the ukrainian armed forces one thing that the population will not accept this invasion, well, that is, it is obvious that the russians realized

that if they stay in the north of the country, it will most likely lead to the destruction of their armed forces there and, at the same time, will not lead to the capture of kyiv, chernihiv sum, they left there now the scenario itself is unfolding probably with a harka but at the same time we have to remember what is the main political direction of this war now for vladimir putin, for today the main tactical direction is beyond doubt donbas why, because this special military operation so-called began with the fact that putin took a break at the request of the so-called leaders of the donetsk and luhansk independent people 's republics, whose independence he previously recognized in order for these leaders to be able to protect their population from aggression from the ukrainian side and from for the purpose of the so-called restoration of the territorial integrity of the dpr and the lpr, because in their so-called

constitutions they recognized themselves in the borders of the donetsk luhansk region. and it is good that on the borders of germany or switzerland and after that, of course putin needs his population, which is sufficiently disorientated, we must realize that more socially does not understand what is really happening, they are not just in the grip of propaganda, they are also in the grip of their own political indifference, so what is the first political victory, what is this, the restoration of the independence of the territorial integrity of the dpr, the lpr and their further integration into russia. whether this integration will take place, of course, depends on the cessation of hostilities, because we know that the referendum on the integration of these so -called people's republics into russia was planned for may, a month from the idea that already on may 9, vladimir putin announced that two new regions of luhansk and donetsk appeared in russia, that the russians are unable to

fully occupy these territories, of course , the moment of the referendum was postponed, do you remember that a few weeks ago, the referendum said so the so-called head of the lpr pasichnyk, and then his fools said that there will be no referendum yet, this means that first of all, the referendum must be held on the territory of donetsk and luhansk regions at the same time and both so-called republics may be accepted into the russian federation at the same time, and perhaps this is also an absolutely probable scenario of the development of events. if it is possible to occupy and defend the territory of the entire kherson region and from the kherson region, because the kherson region is also a fundamental moment for vladimir putin, a fundamental moment because, uh, he was convinced of because it was clear, you can say since 2014 and what i have repeatedly said and written about, that the so-called russian crimea simply can

not exist without an obvious infrastructural connection with the mainland and in general so it never occurred to me in the history of humanity in general that when crimea became a real peninsula on which some economic events took place there, let's say so, and not only a place where there were some ancient colonies on the shore. it always had a connection with the mainland. the very concept of crimea spread far beyond the this was the case with the crimean khanate, which, by the way, lost the opportunity to resist russian aggression precisely after catherine ii conquered the land on the mainland, today's kherson region, there are territories close to it so it was with crimea as part of the russian empire and the soviet union and when it was and of course it is absolutely natural that crimea became part of ukraine after the soviet union ceased to exist because the

peninsula must always have a territorial connection with the mainland to which it belongs, it is not an island, it is absolutely another, the infrastructure of the economy , the economy, the same as life itself, i said that vladimir putin would understand this, but for some reason everyone believed that the answer to this understanding should be that kutsyn would refuse to open. and you can go completely different by the way of the aggressor, to buy kherson region and make its thermometers an infrastructural part of crimea, it does not even matter to me whether to integrate kherson region into the composition of the crimea itself and the so-called republic of crimea as part of the russian federation, what to do independently as a subject of the russian federation, but the main thing is that there should be integration between the wings of kherson region and therefore for volodymyr putin, this is also a completely illogical course of events. well, now it means

the next moment is very important, about which it is also necessary to say so. and what happens next? in terms of ideas well, we can already see that he has fundamentally reorganized himself from the point of view of his goals, if he previously thought that there would be a blitz, he screamed that there would be a puppet government in kyiv, that this government would not only solve all his wishes there, but also create conditions for the ukrainian regions to there was a referendum on accession to russia, so he would gradually absorb ukraine in a short time, it has now become clear that there will be no such government in kyiv, that the population does not accept putin and his army, so we must act step by step, this is exactly what vladimir putin, as a pure former, it is absolutely clear that this is what we call salami politics , first donetsk region, luhansk, kherson region , then we occupy at the next stage a new ukrainian region, new regions, and so we gradually reach, as petro tolstoy, deputy

chairman of the chairman of the state duma of the russian federation, said , the border with poland if there are enough resources , it may seem crazy to us, but you can think that everything that is happening these almost 80 days is not crazy, it is such political plans it means that these political plans can be influenced by the armed forces of ukraine and that the armed forces of ukraine will not give the aggressor the opportunity to advance further, so first of all he will either stop somewhere or the ukrainian counterattacks will be forced to leave the territory that is currently under russian occupation and here is such a moment, which western analysts call existential, but such a question arises if there is a clear understanding that from the point of view of international law, both donbas and crimea are part of ukraine and kherson oblast, but crimea on today differs from donbass and

kherson in that this is the territory that putin annexed, it is not just an occupied annexed territory that is mentioned in the constitution of the russian federation, does this mean that the ukrainian effort to liberate crimea will be perceived by russia as such an existential threat that opens up the possibility for putin to use nuclear weapons against ukraine is a good question. moreover, we see that western politicians believe that ukraine should regain control over its entire territory, including crimea i will remind you that the minister of foreign affairs of great britain spoke about this when she defined the goals of western policy in relation to the e-e war, which is bought and not started against ukraine, and said that in fact there should be a full understanding that russia lost this war, that there was no victory russia that has it
