steel said that the soldiers no longer have medicine, even the lightly wounded have to have their limbs amputated without anesthesia, women also they said that the fighters are in a pessimistic mood. the defenders no longer believe in negotiations either. they rarely come out from their shelters to the surface to find water. the situation is extremely difficult. they are preparing for the last battle, besides, the wives of soldiers from azov compared the battles in mariupol with the events of the second world war, because there was no such thing in europe since those times, antibiotics are in very limited quantities for particularly difficult operations, that is, people with amputations are now lying on the ground without antibiotics without painkillers, people with very serious injuries simply endure the pain. well, that's why the situation is burning, well , everything is burning, everything is critical, there is no place to go, and in the

breaks between battles, the defenders of mariupol are at a standstill. otaki does not often have a moment of silence they distract themselves by reading books and playing chess, and it’s all in semi-darkness, because only small lamps illuminate the shelters, meanwhile, the russian military continues to storm the plant every day, they attack on the ground and fire rockets from the sky by the czechs together with the ukrainians, an action in support of the defenders of mariupol took place in prague, several hundred indifferent ukrainians temporarily living in the czech republic and local citizens came out to the old town square, among them ukrainians, and local citizens called for the release of the ukrainian military from the azovstal plant surrounded by the russians, in addition to the event was attended by the ambassador of ukraine in the czech republic, yevhen perebyenis, and the wife of one of my ukrainian soldiers. we simply do not have the right to remain silent, and when we

may 15 remembrance day for the victims of political repression good health once again anzhelika sezonenko and mykola veresen here with you ask your questions in half an hour, less than half an hour, in 20 minutes, an unshaven uncle will try to answer your no less accurate questions accurately. answers, so for this you need to go to our

official espresso.tv page on facebook and in the comments to this post, please write dear tv viewers, because we lose them so much when they are in different posts in different posts or at the moment send your questions to me i will voice them on the air. mykola veresen will answer, and for now we can talk about an important topic in finland. well, maybe also in sweden, also in the north atlantic alliance, not in sweden, finland, at the same time, they have already agreed among themselves a long time ago and said that if we apply, we apply only at the same time, so i think that on tuesday both finland and sweden will receive applications at the same time and the process will begin . the deputy director of the center for

international security of the national institute for strategic studies is in touch with us, mr. mykola good health. from rest, but you will work, yes, we are doomed to this, we are all working non-stop now, please tell me what can, what can, what does he want, we roughly understand and what can russia do, because we already see some speeches, some words, some warnings, some i i don’t know any criticism. and what can russia actually do to prevent sweden from joining nato in finland, well, in fact, nothing , because russia has no levers of influence on the spice and finland to somehow change their position, that is, if

they have already made such a decision to join nato, then they then they will go and after the invasion threatens, well, you understand, first of all, to invade ukraine is one thing, a criminal matter, but they argued it with their various opinions there, and even well, in certain circles , all opinions may have found some companies are the response of even marginal politicians, but european invasions of finland or sweden well, in principle, there are no arguments under it, it is such a diplomatic geopolitical expert , besides, it is, after all, an eu country, it is clear that there are no security measures here, but in principle the fact is, er, and on the other hand, from a military point of view, well, we now see that all efforts are russian-centered on the territory of ukraine to conduct aggression against our state, i doubt that, in principle, they have the military potential to carry out

any one more operation in another area, here is such a theater p. mykola, look, there is no. the feeling is at the level of sensations. i understand that you and i, and even western intelligence, do not know the facts, but i have a feeling, maybe you have the same, i am checking it, that's simple became less afraid of russia from some point in the second half of april, i had this impression , some other words earlier. if you remember from toltenberg, the runner shouted, not only don't annoy, but don't annoy this russia and the british, the americans, just don't need it, don't need it no, but now you know, they say, let’s attack. yes, we will respond. weakness is possible. finland says: where do we enter ? the latest intelligence has come that russia is unable to

launch nuclear missiles or something like that has happened that really no one is afraid of russia now, what is that ? the weakness of the russian army, and because if the russian plan had succeeded, western intelligence had predicted in february that the aggression could end in success. was in the picture of the world and europe, but now we see that ukraine is fighting and achieving success, the end of the resistance, and the russians are failing, and that’s all. of course , it undermines the image of russian power that putin built all 20 years in order to be in power. you see, western experts also believed that the russian army really is the second strongest army in the world, it is capable of combat, but now we see that they

were wrong in many aspects. mykola i am curious about finland and sweden, can you draw a picture of their military potential? is it true that after the cold war the majority of european countries, let's say, did not focus so much on the issue of finland. sweden has a fairly powerful army . who needs nato more? finland and sweden, or these two countries, the alliance as a guarantee of security after the end of the cold war? all european states were engaged in reducing the army and sweden. finland although they were not yet on monoto, but they are not an exception. they also cut back, and the situation changed in the 14th year. here is the annexation of crimea, aggression against ukraine. it greatly affected the vision in helsinki as well. and in stockholm, they already then began to return to the restoration of military potential, new strategic documents were adopted precisely regarding the strengthening of the national

armed forces, and the swedes on the island of hofland, they restored the military presence that was reduced literally at the beginning of the xxi century, that is, from that time they were already looking at the russian threat as real and tried to do something within the framework of its concept of neutrality to protest it, it must be said that sweden and finland neutral for many years and decades, but in terms of military potential, sweden is extremely powerful. it has a very powerful national defense and industrial complex, that is, it produces weapons, including for sale, and finland is there. military conscription is still maintained, that is, a mass army, we have a large number of reservists who are capable resist, and that is, a very well -prepared army. and in this way, both of these states really join nato not as, let's say , beneficiaries of this system of collective security and how are the really strong contributors? in my

opinion, in principle, there is a positive here for both sides, but probably in the first place, after all, nato receives such a large addition to its military potential recently, really the expansion of nato. well, i don't want to say anything bad about of other new members of the organization yes, but this expansion towards the balkans well, it is more small because, objectively speaking, these countries did not add much to the joint potential of the organization with finland and sweden a completely different look, since you are already a senior, not just a research associate. and a senior research associate at the institute of strategic studies, i will simply ask you about your strategy, but today many people are talking about the possibility, well, people, and there are high-ranking officials in america, in england, that

it is necessary to significantly weaken russia and let's imagine the weakening of russia, a weakened russia. she can put on the agenda this weakened russia, not her. instead, the finns can put on the agenda the return of the territory, or can put the germans in order to return the territory of the kaliningrad region or the japanese islands this whole moment, and i am not saying that russia will want it, maybe the citizens of russia who live in the kaliningrad region or the citizens of russia who live on the border with finland will want to ask to finland or the citizens of russia who live on the islands i near japan will be asked as on the territory of japan, that is, this moment is weakened in russia how do you see it we have a son says these are the examples you mentioned but they are different in character here are

must be considered separately, because in europe we have the helsinki act of 1975, we were recognized as the borders of the state, and you understand here how weakened russia was, but from the point of view of the finns and germans, somehow or to put forward claims or support some uh-uh internal tendencies on those territories, well, this will be a violation of their commitments, that's why i don't think that they will review all the borders in europe. but the situation with japan is different because, well, the japanese consistently always say that these islands are japanese territory, they are occupied they have never refused, that is, they can mention it especially actively, or if there is such a diplomatic need, do not particularly focus on it for a certain time, if they need something else from russia and do not want to date it, but this is their clear position and indeed if russia will be relaxed, then the japanese will obviously

want to ensure their historic mission of restoring sovereignty in all these territories. and why do you see erdoğan's statement by the president of turkey that we are suspicious of the accession in finland and sweden, and this is understandable to everyone . why, because the oppositionists are hiding there before era reprimand and in general, the kurds from the kurdistan workers' party to the turkish government. that's what erdogan wants to achieve, because it's obvious that the swedes will not hand over to the turkish government. members of the workers' party of kurdistan. well, there is such a super-duper democracy there. imagine that they extradite them to vankaruch. istanbul is very difficult

. what does the irdigan want then? we understand that he said after that that we do not we will vote against it, but he would like to talk about these people in the territories of finland and sweden, what they had in mind, well, look here, next year there will be presidential and parliamentary elections in turkey and he will start to show certain statements, he also does it primarily for the peace of the internal audience to the turkish electorate that he really cares about the problem of kursk terrorism and raises it on the international stage, and thus it demonstrates exactly the active position of the turkish authorities to protect national interests, which is not bends under western partners and on the contrary sets conditions and this. in my opinion, is this a part of just such an electoral company that he starts in advance, and regarding the talks well, indeed

, there will now be negotiations with sweden and finland but in my opinion, first of all, he wants to work with other nato partners, first of all, with the united states of america, because turkey really has certain interests with the americans, er, the americans do not fulfill certain wishes of the turks. in the military and defense sphere, because we remember that turkey was excluded from the program for the production and purchase of fifth-generation f-35 aircraft for the purchase of russian weapons, then the turks declared their desire to purchase several dozen new backpacks of f16 heads of the updated version and right now, this issue is being considered by the united states , and in my opinion, this is the issue of sweden and finland in nato, and we will use one of these programs to talk with the americans in order to

somehow force them to press such a position in order to they did not compromise on other important turkish issues, which is a very short answer, please. after finland and sweden join nato, the land border with russia of the nato countries will double there from 2,200 km to 600 kilometers, and how threatening it is for russia, we know that nato countries are not attacking, they were not going to attack the russian federation, however, they are constantly talking about it, is it really such a threat? well, of course, no, they correctly said that nato has not established a thunderstorm for russia that is, this is just a program, an english myth that is used in russia, but de facto for the security of russia. nothing changes, in fact, nothing will happen there. but it is clear that probably the russians, because of this propagandist and their rhetoric, will try something there to develop military construction in the north, divert resources, this is again after all, it will only bring negativity for the russians themselves, diverting

their budget funds. director of the center for international security thank you and we already have kira rudyk kira rudyk good health, people, deputy chairman of the party, i have a lot of questions for the dpa, for the deputies, i have a lot of questions . that i sat before the program this afternoon and studied what chekhov anton palych said about ukraine. that's what i thought. and what to do, for example, with the alley with chekhov street anywhere in vinnytsia, in lviv, in kyiv, in odesa, i don't know somewhere in sumy things, he really liked to rest in the sumy region, but he was

czech, among other things. i just wrote this for myself here, illegally brought a literary scientific bulletin from lviv. lviv was then austro-hungary and it was possible to print in ukrainian there, but in the russian empire it was forbidden and he brought and distributed it clandestinely to the library, but you warned me to look there, be careful not to come to the censor or the policeman to see it, but it was a ukrainian, er, literary and scientific bulletin , that was their name. he was very proud of his acquaintances zankovetska wrote even that ukraine will never forget maria zankovetska well, we are in lviv and we know that she has definitely not forgotten and there is a theater here and so on and so on and so on that he wrote about the ukrainian people in simple russian , the people are well fed funny talkative

drunkards, i have not yet seen and heard the motherland very rarely, the beautiful ukrainian people, and who wrote in the correspondence of the population, no, then there was no evil ukrainian, it was forbidden, but he wrote maloros, his grandmother was ukrainian, and he was there before for 18 years, i not only understood the ukrainian language, but also spoke in the ukrainian language. what do you mean and now i am asking you to be such people? who respected ukraine very much. congratulations mr. mykola. thank you for this question. look, we are entering such a situation here.
