i mean, then, not only hungary, but some politicians from europe as well. that's not why schroeder, only under the influence of the sanction, decided to leave one of the famous russian companies where he held a position on the supervisory board of this company and only under the pressure of sanctions. imagine that the former head of state is under the pressure of sanctions frankly in a country that is waging an aggressive war against another european country. talk to about the sanctions because one of the heads of the ministry of foreign affairs once danced with putin at her own wedding and does

she have any additional interests from russia related to the russian federation in this case it was difficult and but it is an understanding that it is necessary to do and our position is unchanged, our position regarding oil, we have to impose a burden immediately if the european union talks about a transition period of 6 months. we don't have time to wait 6 months, because 6 months means extra almost 200 months - 200 billion dollars e-e paid to the russian federation in our country, which is now being discussed quite quickly in europe and in the united states of america, this is the so-called price mechanism for regulating russian exports in europe . i would say that one of the authors or the author of this oil, on the other hand, is the most expensive oil on the other hand, there is a so

-called tariff that will have to be paid, which will be used for the needs of ukraine, let's say now , the ural car brand is sold at approximately $70 per barrel, the production price of one barrel of oil for russia is approximately $10. what is offered is $10. this is what will be paid to russia, that is, they will not have any profit at all, but they will be able to cover the expenses for oil extraction of $60 in this case, that is, the difference is $70, what will be paid to russia is $10. i.e. $60. they will accumulate for ukraine's needs and immediately become possible for ukraine's use, the question that may arise at this time is whether russia will agree to this or not, because

otherwise they have only an alternative to sell part of this oil either to china or to india, to china, the possibilities for selling oil are very limited, the only possibility that is more or less realistic is to continue using the oil pipeline that exists between russia and china in relation to another potential consumer of oil, which is india but we are talking about the fact that it must be somehow transported to india, that is why we are talking about what is currently being discussed in europe, it is being discussed to ban all european companies or the company e-e not only transport companies and financiers who sell insurance for this type of tanks to prohibit them from working with those who supply russian oil, and this means that the

only possibility for russia to sell its oil on the territory of india is to use the scoop of the fleet, this is the russian merchant fleet, but the possibilities for transportation there are quite limited for sure they will not be able to transfer all their oil, that is, they will eventually face a situation or simply turn the screw and not extract oil at all from some wells or simply pour out the sand or into the ground, which can also be a way out, but problematic from the point of view of ecology, if you don't think about a longer perspective, then in principle , what does the destruction of your own land and the lives of your own people mean for them, if they feel that way about it, there are no alternatives for them in this case, and this is an offer that they will most likely agree to. and this is what

is being discussed very actively, including in europe, in this case, hungary can think anything for her, she can pay $70 for russian oil, but in fact russia will receive 10 $ 60 ukraine will receive these up to 70 dollars for one bar, and in this case, because if they want to pay, please, they can pay. it is more important that we ourselves offer options, we offer alternatives. well, they are discussed, in particular, at all levels, like today at the david forum. thank you and for such a thorough group or topics, there is actually a lot to discuss and we will definitely talk about them and reparations because they will not get russia anywhere, this and the restoration of our country is also affected by the economic component, but for now i thank you

we must move forward. i want to remind you that we just spoke with the president's adviser on economic issues oleg ustenko. well, the marathon is the only news going on. the second meeting after rammstein, which took place with the participation of the defense ministers of more than 40 countries, and this meeting is also significant, as issues related to the strengthening of the military the security of our state, taking into account the threat that continues to hang over our state, namely the russian federation, and in particular, under the chairmanship of the secretary of defense of the united states of america, lloyd osna, this meeting took place soon with us , dmytro onopchenko, the journalist asked him

a number of questions dmytro you you hear us i hear you or you hear me we hear we see you we welcome you to another continent let's discuss the consequences of this meeting with you at first, as an experienced journalist, you named the main main the results, you know, there are three results. and this is the most important thing that, well, we remember from history textbooks that there was a second front. well, now there is the second front. 47 participants, that is, minus nato, minus the eu. and these are representatives of two organizations. that is, we have 45 countries that are not just as rammstein said that we will help ukraine now during the second meeting of 20 countries, that is, half of them have already specifically offered, they said that they are transferring huge results to ukraine, and when we say, do you know that there is a diplomatic front there or we have supporting it is also important, but in the grand scheme of things what is happening today is absolutely unprecedented because countries are transferring

money to ukraine, they are transferring weapons and weapons to ukraine very seriously. i will be ready to tell you about it. in the rammstein format, they specifically a-a help . as they say, who or can or are there those states that simply a-a perform the role of such an observation mission about the list of aid to continue, look, i will answer two questions at once well first of all, if we talk about the states, as of saturday, there were only 40 of them, as of monday, there were already 45 of them, that is, the states are joining. countries said that they provide financial weapons, and here we should note the czech republic, which gives them helicopters and tanks, and most importantly, artillery

systems, and we should note denmark, and this is an extremely important story, because denmark gives us systems the harpoon is a system with a range of up to 300 km, which is used precisely to fight enemy ships so absolutely, and this is the plan that is currently being discussed that thanks to the harpoon, it would be possible if we have from 10 to 25, in principle, to unblock ukrainian ports about unblocking them, too. during this meeting, they talked about please tell me to unblock ukrainian ports, and i asked the previous military experts. and you , a journalist, are no less experienced directly. interrupt russia's ideas about landing an amphibious assault in odessa directly with the eyes of the harpoons, that's right, that's absolutely right, what i can tell you is that two scenarios for unblocking are currently being discussed in order to

unblock the ports, the first is a military convoy. but today general milley, the head of the committee, the steering committee of the chiefs of staff, said that so far the military is not seriously considering these options, instead, they are considering the option when we can use for example, harpoons. come on, let's say about 25, if put in ukrainian ports, absolutely seriously, the americans listed that russian ships will also stay away, understanding that they can follow moscow, and this can really disrupt plans for landing, for example, in odesa. there is a lot about odesa today. during this meeting they were just saying , my hometown is just a city, i always pay attention. you see, then i wanted to quote what the us defense minister louis de austin said today, and now i will quote that the general strategy of the president vladimir putin's russia in relation to ukraine is not a coma dmytro, what does such a statement mean? does it mean that it is impossible for you to work out effective tactics of confrontation and countermeasures if the

enemy 's strategy is unknown? i very often visit the pentagon, talk unofficially and attend press conferences, and what i heard today, for example, from the minister of defense himself, he said at the beginning of this meeting that he was watching the ukrainians, because of what they did for an insanely incredible period of time, did not allow russia to implement the plan, which was a plan that provided for the capture of kyiv, and now russia just has to adjust its plans on the go, and you , as austin said, that russia will now try to advance in the donbas, will now try to advance in the south, i.e. it seems to me that when we hear these quotes, they do not mean that the americans do not know something there. they most likely mean that russia is simply changing its plans on the fly because they were thinking of really taking over ukraine it did not work out to capture kyiv, and that is why, in accordance with the situation at the front, those packages are developed, that is, there is no huge flow

of weapons, and every time, every country, including america, develops packages according to the situation, three correspond to the operational situation, that is, regarding military aid, which also comes from the assistance of the white house, the other day american president jose biden signed another package of military aid for ukraine in the amount of 40 billion dollars, let's detail what it is about just help, look at what i am doing right now. you hear what i heard today in the pentagon, which is the biggest and most important thing. at this stage of this war, it is exactly artillery. i think that general milli said that this war is now at this stage a war of artillery systems, and that is why ukraine asked for and ukraine received and this conversation took place today during the second ramshtan meeting, ukraine asked for long-range artillery, and ukraine received shells for it, er, they are transferred and the united states also transfers them and the allies and thus we

we see that, in principle, the focus of the artillery is now clear. dmytro, i will ask you a question because i am skipping it. you can also know the answer to it. zgardian reported that the minister of foreign affairs of lithuania proposed a plan to lift the russian blockade, that this plan involves demining parts of the black sea to ensure a safe passage e.e. the agreement with turkey, which will protect the entrance to the sea, and in such an operation britain could take part, and then the importers who suffer directly from the fact that the grain expert does not take place, for example egypt, but this operation can take place without nato forces, in your opinion, you really often look at the statements of the ministers of defense, you are directly involved in military actions, military tactics, is this plan realistic according to you, or are there other options to open exports through ukrainian ports,

see what is going on now they say this about the use of the military fleet not too much, but of individual countries within nato, in particular, and in the black sea, this is really a plan that exists because everyone understands that the alliance in the format it is in is most likely will not pass a decision on a military operation to locate its fleet in the black sea, okay , negotiations are underway now, negotiations are underway with various countries, well, in particular, i can tell you with canada about using their warships . that is, this is a plan, and in principle, there is no unity yet, but there is a discussion and if we are talking about unblocking the portion, you know, i spoke with military experts, they are very seriously calculating at that moment that if missile systems of 250-300 km appear, russia will have to push back its warships, russia will understand that they can lose the same admiral makarov there, as they lost moscow, and it can work, what i hear on the sidelines, what i hear from

politicians is very big right now, you know, there is so much hype and there is only hope for exactly this missile plan, you see, they are constantly looking for politicians and the military are constantly looking for ways to help ukraine and how to bring ukraine closer to victory. thank you, dmytro, for this important information. dmytro onopchenko, a journalist from washington, was in touch with us. a package of military and humanitarian aid from the united states, what strategic goals of the kremlin failed in ukraine, when the events in russia imposed sanctions against it, tetyana goncharova talked about this with michael mcfall, a professor at stanford university and the us ambassador to russia in 12-14 years, further on our broadcast michael mcfall , the us ambassador to the russian federation from 11 to 14 years a-a pc good evening greetings thank you for inviting the army there was a question and president biden

signed it we are grateful for this help and we hope that this will significantly strengthen ukraine's defense capabilities. what do you think this package can do to help us the most? to defeat the russian forces, especially in donbas, in this area, and you know it better than i do, the war is intensifying, this is a competition of artillery systems, a different type of combat, a different type of combat than for example, during the battle for kyiv, and i think that the

sooner we provide ukraine with military means capable of stopping putin's invasion, the sooner this war will end. you recently stated that russia failed its strategic goals in ukraine, and what were those goals? in my opinion, ukraine has already won in this war, not all battles have been won, there may still be many in the future, unfortunately, but if you think about what putin wanted to achieve on the eve of the invasion of ukraine, and he spoke very frankly about it, he failed in almost all of his goals recall that putin is convinced that ukraine cannot exist as an independent state, he does not believe that ukrainians are a separate people, he thinks that they are russians, they only speak with a different accent, and it is a

great historical tragedy that the ukrainian and russian peoples were separated from each other, he also blames the bolsheviks for this like the west, but he stated his main goal very clearly in a speech on the eve of the invasion of ukraine, he wanted to reunite this disunited nation. and here he clearly failed; secondly, he stated that he wanted quoting denazify ukraine it was a code word that actually meant a change of power, he wanted to overthrow zelenskyi, he believed that president zelenskyi would flee the country and that a puppet regime would be established in kyiv, these intentions failed for the third time, and this was also clearly announced. putin wanted to demilitarize ukraine and here is also an obvious failure for the fourth time, he wanted to occupy all the largest cities, capture kyiv and kharkiv, this also

failed, and now putin is forced to focus his efforts only on the donbass, they now call it special military operation, defense of donbass, these two words were not used two months ago, but now they are used, too. in my opinion, putin's new goal is to capture this territory, occupy it and later annex donbass, asks us journalists to talk about donbass, because we donbass is ukraine, but what about these failures putin may be affected by the further actions of the kremlin or will their approaches change i don't know this is a good question but i don't have a good answer for it i think that his next goal after the previous ones failed is to capture the entire donbas

connect it with crimea and all the cities between them and annex all this territory and then say the war is over, that's what scares me, they think that 's putin's goal, i hope he won't be able to achieve it but i think that's what he's focused on for a long time now time, the west tried to reset relations with russia. then there were attempts to pacify putin, did the democratic world realize the cloudiness of these attempts, i think so, although discussions about this are still ongoing in my country, the united states, in germany, in france, in other european countries, without a doubt, there are politicians who believe that it is necessary to have some kind of working relationship with russia, even despite the terrible barbaric

invasion of your country, ukraine. personally, i do not agree with this. i think we should have a tougher strategy to contain putin. of national security, for example, i believe that it is necessary to extend the agreement on the reduction of strategic defense weapons. and this can be done only through negotiations with russia. do you think that there should be a new a nuclear agreement with iran is also possible only under the conditions of the presence of russia at the negotiating table, but beyond this limited range of issues, it is necessary to have a much more comprehensive strategy of deterrence, similar to the one that operated in relation to the ussr during the cold war, this is a long process, but we need it expert

group of yermak regarding sanctions against russia, reported that one -third of the sanctions plan has been implemented and what critical positions remain in the other two-thirds, we started this international working group. by the way, an independent working group group in close cooperation with the government of ukraine, the world has done enough when it introduced sanctions to end the war in our first document we listed everything that can still be done from financial sanctions to energy personal sanctions to declaring russia a sponsor of state terrorism, this is a very long list and we did it so that when governments or senior officials said we've done enough on sanctions we could say no that's not enough the next thing is the energy sanctions we're focusing on now we want to cut revenues

to russia from the sale of oil and gas, and they finance the war, everything is very simple, the democratic world should not pay for putin's invasion of free democratic ukraine, our second document is focused on innovative ways to reduce their incomes, and the next one we will devote to significantly strengthening sanctions against russian individuals, the dances will become really painful for of russia and what will be the signs and manifestations of this pain when we understand it, we need to distinguish the concept of what russia is, some russians have already felt the pain of sanctions many oligarchs are suffering. they wanted to get rid of sanctions, the russian economy is declining, the year-to- year decline can reach 10-15%. let's not forget that hundreds of foreign companies have already left russia mobile

mcdonald's hundreds of them have already left this has negative financial consequences for the russian economy as a whole than the pressure from economic sanctions will make him change his mind and not do what he is doing in in the military sense in ukraine, my next question is not about money, but about nato. do you think it is realistic for ukraine to join nato by informally implementing the membership plan? this is a difficult question. i do not have an answer to

it. nato new energy nato is now more united than ever before and the alliance's military cooperation with ukraine is stronger than ever secondly , new members sweden and finland are joining nato and this will create a new debate what should be the future relations between nato and ukraine, if finland and sweden join the alliance, why not ukraine? i think there will be a debate on this matter in nato after the end of the war. ukraine will not join nato while it is at war with russia. the reason is simple. president biden clearly stated that he will support the ukrainian army and government. will provide military and economic aid, but he will not send american soldiers or pilots to fight in ukraine, the debate about nato is a matter of the future, in my opinion, this discussion is inappropriate in the future after the end of this war the most important way to guarantee ukraine's security

will be strengthening its armed forces, if we did it in 2014, as some of us suggested, then this war is possible and would not have started, we are now sending weapons to ukraine and if we sent all this in 2014 after the first invasion if we sent cannons, everything that is now flowing into ukraine may have confirmed the current invasions, i think after the end of the war this will be the most important strategy, there are no endless discussions about joining or not joining nato ukraine has become strong enough to independently repel invasion attempts. on may 27, president zelenskyi will speak via video link to students at stanford university, where you are a professor. what question would you ask him? a great question , first of all, this will be zelenskyi's second speech

at stanford. in september, he came here and i had the honor of receiving it. it was a fantastic event . for the first time in history, the ukrainian president spoke about the language in california, by the way, he also visited other places in the state, by the way, he also visited other places in the state of silicon valley and the california national guard, which has cooperated with ukraine in military matters for years, i think that he has a special connection with stanford, my question is what can private individuals do to help with the war and reconstruction in ukraine, very often at least this way in my country, we want the government to take care of this, so that they take care of it. but in my opinion, the reconstruction of ukraine will become a project that will last for years and decades. individuals can play an important role here. individuals for example, from silicon valley will be delighted with the opportunity to invest in ukraine, the influx

of private capital, and not only state aid , educational exchange, i hope that my university will create a partnership with ukrainian universities when they reopen and begin post-war expansion, as well as personal contacts between non-governmental organizations, student churches by trade unions , i think such connections are important to develop already now assistant thank you very much i would like most of your ideas to become a reality of the population thank you for this dialogue now thank you this we will rebuild before we launch we will win that you are not news together we are strong well and then the marathon of unified news continues colleagues from the ictv tv channel and the windows service and they will tell about this for the first time in the spring for the first time ukraine in the

epicenter for the first time without russia but with evidence of its crimes in the swiss davos opened an economic forum of 20,000 per avdiyivka, the enemy wants to wipe off the face of the earth the strategic settlement of donetsk region, our military is keeping a firm grip on the report from the front line kharkiv opens the subway yesterday's shelter for thousands of kharkiv residents will return to their immediate duties in the morning, the direct inclusion of our colleagues and we say to you goodbye and we worked for you tetyana goncharova my name is vadym gerasimovych mirov everyone tomorrow the enemy tried to submerge ukraine and we are defeating cyber attacks repelled but the war in the cyber sphere applies to everyone simple rules cyborgs hygiene is important right now use complex passwords two-factor auto identification open letters only from a trusted source do not send passwords to
