political and military reforms of the future, the security of ukraine will ensure the presence of a strong economy, european integration, as well as its perception as a country where it is profitable to enter business, where the legal system works perfectly, where there are many dynamic and energetic people and interesting companies , and so on, all this will also help ukraine acquire the image of a stable and a safe state that others would be ready to defend, i put forward such a statement in relation to poland, which is also important to become part of the western alliance of poland, it is also necessary preserve democracy, be open to european integration and be part of the big whole in poland. there are also people who prefer a kind of isolation and want to rule the country on both sides of the european union, and i keep stressing that this is a bad idea. if you want to be part of the western

security alliance, you also need to join and to the western political alliance of the political community and the western economic community, therefore in ukraine it is necessary to move in all these directions at the same time you are the author of the book the red famine, stalin's war against ukraine, books about the famine in 32-33 today we see how putin is trying to provoke a world food crisis, can we compare these two dictators and make clear parallels, because putin with his propaganda is somewhat different, he has not yet resorted to mass murders and arrests because his propaganda works much more effectively than stalin's propaganda used to. but

they have certain points of contact. putin, following the bolsheviks and stalin, also understands that food can be turned into a weapon for the purpose destruction and manipulation of people, probably at the beginning of the war, putin was well aware that if he managed to stop the export of ukrainian grain , even if he resorted to stealing it, it would hit the ukrainian economy and become an important trump card for him, now it seems that he is trying to use the functioning of the ports in exchange for the lifting of sanctions and i think that in the next few months it will be about this. i support and hope for the support of the leaders regarding the creation of a humanitarian corridor in the black sea, which

would be provided by foreign vessels, turkish, french possible american and others who would protect the port of odessa and the export of grain in general, since the crisis is only gaining momentum, i hope that such a variant of the development of events will be seriously taken into account, i other influential persons support such a decision , the minister of foreign affairs of lithuania recently expressed his support in writing, i hope that soon it will become a reality, i am convinced that putin imitates stalin in using food as a lever of influence, he does not care about human sacrifices, he does not care that people are starving, whether in north africa whether it is in ukraine and he is ready to press this lever in order for you to go to war and achieve some set goals, your colleague timite snyder calls the russian

actions of russians on the territory of ukraine acts of genocide or do you agree with them the narrative about ukraine that is currently used by russian propaganda on television is the classic language of genocide which describes ukraine as a country that is not real, that does not exist, that ukrainians are not people, and therefore they can be killed, if they are not people, then they have no rights, the right to food, skillful life, this is exactly the same language that i once used stalin in relation to the ukrainian peasants, the kulags, they are not people, they must be wiped off the face of the earth, they are parasites, insects, we must exterminate them in order to pave

the way to the great revolution. territories , as well as in the way the war is being waged, this war is aimed at the civilian population, the destruction and destruction of ukrainian infrastructure, the cessation of exports , it is not about conquering the territory, it is about the destruction of ukraine as such, therefore i emphasize that this is the language of genocide. i sincerely thank you for your thoughts. i thank you and deeply appreciate the opportunity to speak to ukrainians. glory to ukraine glory to the heroes. february 24, the date that changed us, the date that changed the world and now.

familiarize yourself with it. we see that apple woom actually believes in ukraine. it is very important for us. the researcher emphasized on important pages of the history of ukraine and spoke about our european prospects, and hmm, we will talk about this, and with our next guest, we will join us in a moment, an expert in the field of foreign policy, ukrainian prisma, we will talk about today's m-m, today's decisions and in of the european union regarding e the sixth package of sanctions, and we will also talk about other important international news, which, one way or another, bit by bit, the water grinds the stone and actually affects the economic situation in russia and its military potential in relation to ukraine and the possibilities of waging this war. there is a lot of interesting stuff here. in ukraine, a

police mobile group was created to detect sexual crimes by russians, and in fact such groups started working at the initiative of the ministry of internal affairs and the national police, the ministry of internal affairs informed about this today during a briefing specialists have considerable experience, such mobile groups will include policemen and psychologists who will communicate with local residents, in particular , in the territories liberated from the occupiers, etc. and will record this and work with the victims as well. today the identities of 90 russian servicemen who committed war crimes in ukraine were identified, benediktov noted that three have already been convicted . may well, i'm here, actually ruslan stefanchuk

met with er, this is the speaker of the verkhovna rada of the ukrainian parliament met with chancellor of germany olafon scholz and er reminded him that there should be no delays in the delivery so as not to detain german weapons, actually quite a funny picture there was a photo from stefanchuk 's facebook, where he is holding his own visa, ah , german, and there are already a lot of memes on this topic, because someone there wrote that, uh, scholtz, give uh, leopards, otherwise i'll eat you. well, actually, how stepanchuk looks very big, and they hold his hand so tightly, that's why he's smiling so much with the ukrainian priority in what the german government can give us. actually, there is positive news for us. ukraine wrote andriy melnyk. he welcomed the news about new deliveries of german weapons to

our country this is reported by spiegel and actually melnyk says that the ice has broken and we are waiting for the fact that ukraine will actually receive systems and iris tslm it is about powerful air defense systems about the supply to ukraine which german chancellor olaf scholz announced on wednesday - this is such a modern modern ppu system and a modern radar that will detect mortars and rocket artillery in the muzzle of howitzers, this is a really powerful complex of 34 km, it seems to have a range of 34 km, there is a practical ceiling for the use of a missile there, something under 20 km, well question because it is. when they will be pine, it may take a couple of months. it may start in october, because first they must be made and then learn how to

operate them. well, accordingly, somewhere around in october, we will be able to start exploiting it . andriy melnyk, a settlement of ukraine in germany, said the good news is that one note of the complex is enough to cover a city the size of zaporizhzhia from missile attacks, and once and for all they closed the whole city, well, that is really cool. we are waiting for these supplies. well, what about the germans? er defemsiv express analysts are writing again about the fact that, after all, er, well , germany, well, that’s not what i’m talking about. andrea sumova has said this more than once. spends time that in fact, the decades-long pacifist policy literally led to the fact that the bundeswehr itself, the german army, has very outdated and weak, unfortunate models of weapons, and now that they are also taking the course of militarization , germany has turned out that they are simply and truly not

strong enough that we will give an interview in the near future, we will try to conduct an interview for our viewers with an american historian , professor elias desneider, who actually talks about the reasons for such and such failures yes, in the politics of western governments, they talk about the fact that in one of his books, timati snyder talks about it, so that the collective west lives under such a worldview, as if inviolability, as if nothing threatens them and after the second world war there is nothing bad in the world it cannot happen, actually, this is a false feeling in the mind and caused the fact that the lessons of history have not been learned, they come again and are repeated, all the same things that have already passed the world in the 20th century now. during this russia's war in ukraine, well, at least they already

understand that a second munich cannot be allowed, everyone knows just what it leads to, here the analogy goes. was there, that is, in this mechanism of the economy, which was very successful , played an important role, everything, everything, the whole car drove because it was also cheap, this cheap russian fuel, and now everyone understands that there is no more cheap fuel, so everything will slip this economy is global and, of course, the european union as such. well, there is simply no option . we simply do not have other options because other options are worse. by the way, we see fresh news about energy carriers. the american billionaires of the tesla company, elon musk, sent solar panels to ukraine that today they are helping to ensure the operation of critical

infrastructure facilities in the kyiv region, let us remind you that earlier musk handed over the ukrainian mariupol to this eight-year-old boy egor who managed to win with his family wrote a diary, described the horrors of the war and the blockade of the city , in these children's records, mariupol photographer evgeny sosnovsky published the boy's diary, and actually now it is known that the boy is safe with his family, mother, grandmother in zaporizhzhia, and by the way, we they already said that we have heavy losses, of course, every day. as preten zelenskyi rightly said, it is obvious that we are losing up to 100 of our fighters at the front. however , we have the plus of one ukrainian - this is oleksandr nevzorov, who, by the way, commented on the ukrainian citizenship, i was terribly grateful to those exhausted, desperate, bloodied people of ukraine who

allowed me to take a place among them, a short remark, not exhausted, not desperate, really bloodied, really bloodied, but rather thanks to people like mr. nevzorov, at least what he was like, because everything is remembered by my mother on of oleksandr kraieva, experts of the council of foreign policy, ukrainian prism, with whom we talk about the main news of the international front, congratulations , mr. oleksandr, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes actually, let's start with the call of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine to international partners to increase the sanctions pressure on russia to provide the necessary weapons and the status of a candidate for accession to the european union for ukraine on the hundredth day of the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine .

sanctions against russia and belarus, and let's start with what we expected and what we didn't see in the sixth package of sanctions . the first thing we expected was its more prompt adoption, because already now, if i'm not mistaken , bloomberg added information that despite all the sanctions, the russians continue to earn billions from oil and, in fact, almost every day. adopted why hungary's position was not changed earlier and this actually left a hole for the russians all this time through which they could once again take more money, this is first of all secondly due to the position of hungary, they still saw that the package was cut a little, that is, for example, if i am not

mistaken, that we have a full embargo on oil, only on oil that moves by sea and that by pipeline, in principle, it remains, and therefore, again, this leaves russia with the possibility of cooperation with hungary with by many other countries , that is, in one way or another, but the issue of political compromise in order for this package to be accepted still forced us to make certain concessions, let's talk about how effective this uh will turn out to be the sixth package and what are actually the main ones for us are the mechanisms of influence on the russian federation, which, well, we know for sure that they will be attacked and will affect the ability to carry out attacks against ukraine and wage this war of attrition, well , the specifics, the main specifics, what are we going for and how at first let's say this is how the sixth package of shares was advertised, it is an embargo on energy resources sold

by russia because energy resources are essentially the last thing left in russia when we talk about international income when we talk about any international economic cooperation for the russians, therefore, giving up oil, giving up gas from mine, even from russian coal - this is exactly what we are striving for, this is what will allow us to maximally narrow the room for maneuver for the russians and limit them as much as possible, it will be new resources, therefore, in fact, this is what it was interesting, that's what we cheered for, of course, the limited ones that we had to go to because not all esu countries were ready to sign its full scale. sanctions package that the eu will consider, what else ? let's talk about other aspects

of these sanctions. we know that a number of personal sanctions will be applied for russian crimes committed in buch and mariupol. and how exactly these people are involved in the crimes. will it be these military men who directly committed the crimes, or those who gave orders, or will it be putin and his closest entourage, or is there already some, well, at least in the previous the list will it still appear later, alexander, well, personally, i do not know in what format such sanctions will be applied, but even a superficial analysis of the continent tells us that it will most likely be a kind of fork, a fork at the very bottom and a fork at the very top. that in fact, if we recall all the previous sanctions, not only from february 24, but for all 8, almost 9 years of the war

, we will see that, in principle, all those who could be subject to sanctions from the security sector of the russian federation are already under they are the only ones it constantly came out from under it, respectively, the performers, that is, the lowest level of this link, these are the soldiers and junior officers themselves, and not the very top, that is, putin and his well, not that the closest thing is, in principle, putin himself and relatively speaking, his family, although we can see there sanctions against kabaeva are now being actively introduced, in fact, and here we have some progress. although i do not have accurate information at the moment, i hope that these two sectors will be captured by the performers themselves and, accordingly, those who made the final decision, i.e. putin himself well, i see that i apologize just briefly remark that we see that the sanctions regarding these personal uh-uh measures will uh-uh already mmm uh-uh be published in the official

journal of the eu in the near future, so there we will already see specific surnames when we say that this year, russia has earned or will earn by the end of the year from the export of petroleum products, gas oil, somewhere over 200 billion dollars, and with all that for the sixth package - minus only 10 billion and even there up to 12 billion then again there from is minus in connection there with discounts, various logistics, and so on when sending e-e c- that is, up to 20, i.e., a 10th part is even less than this, here the thought creeps in, and is this already such a great success, and whether or what? what is wrong with these considerations, in principle, everyone success is possible for us now and because it is conventionally speaking, to give a metaphor - it is a snowball that rolls and the more we pump out money from russia, although billion by

million as much as possible, the more we limit the russians, the more we create barriers for such work the better in the end. it will be for us the more money russia will lose, the closer it will be to its default, which we are all waiting for. therefore, this is a big victory, and what is more, before the sixth package of sanctions , it is big because the eu finally started working according to new rules, let's say if this decision had to be made by the eu that existed by february 24, he would have failed this decision failed immediately and immediately forgotten about it why because there is this structure very strictly aimed at the rules of its work and the rules of the work of the european bureaucracy provide that if at least one is not something against the decision simply is not accepted and most often they don't even return to it, that's why now we see adaptability now we see a certain flexibility, that is, at first there was an option that each country would separately introduce all

the restrictions of this package except for hungary. and for some of its points, that is, with hungary, you choose what to emphasize, what not to vote for, in the end, we see this structure. in addition, we see that the european commission is threatening hungary to take away everything funding from the eu for the country for the next year precisely because of orbán's position because of his cooperation with the russians, that is, the historicity is not so much in how much money we have now excluded from russia, although this is also very important, as i said, it is in the fact that finally the part of him that was too bureaucratized and not so brave. let's put it this way, it is finally starting to move and it is starting to adapt not only like well, today we did that, we won't do it again, but it is systematically starting to work in a completely different way well, let's add that the ministry of foreign affairs summarizes that the next

priority for sanctions against russia should be a full embargo on oil and gas in combination with a complete disconnection of the russian financial system from the world . to turkey, vasyl bodnar called turkey one of those countries that buy ukrainian grain stolen by russia. authorities and interpol to investigate who is involved in the supply of grain in transit through turkish waters. well , yesterday all of ukraine was actually inspired by this undeniably noble decision of toure to present lithuania with a biraktar for the armed forces of ukraine, at which lithuanians from all over ukraine collected and collected five million dollars. today it turns out that in parallel turkey can buy

bloody ukrainian grain stolen by russian pirates and war criminals. how should this be perceived and will this news affect turkey's attempt to take over the role of a negotiator between ukraine and the aggressor country is possible now, i will say a very cynical thing, but that is why turkey puts itself in the role of the winner, erdogan is one of the last politicians who is as pragmatic and as realistic as possible, well, from the point of view of the parade, the paradigms of realism or liberalism are as realistic as possible to foreign policy. that is , we see the same pattern of behavior in him , here he buys s400 air defense systems from the russians and at the same time places an order for america for the f-35 several years ago meets with putin in the best terms, signs an agreement on new tourist routes there , etc., and a week later he shoots down a russian attack aircraft that flies into the territory of turkey in

the direction of force, he normally adequately tries to bring cooperation with israel and already and already after a few months, the olive branch operation begins, which in principle, it pushes hamas even closer to israel , it can provoke it to attack, i don't know. that is, it's not that turkey is against us on purpose. this is how turkey behaves. this is its foreign policy. it is based on opposite narratives, on such a concealment of its true motives and on a constant double game, we just need to understand it, that is, turkey does it with a very, very powerful internal understanding, why it needs it, in fact, even the help that turkey has provided us since 2015, let's be honest was also with a clear understanding of why this is for turkey at the time when dogan was fascinated by the idea of ​​pan-yukism in the great turkic world and he needed to show the success of the success of helping the turkic-speaking peoples in

development of their lives, and where was it better to do it than in the crimea than in helping the crimean tatars, before the help, according to the help to ukraine, which is a practical shelter for the crimean tatars, that is, one way or another, radogan is playing his game that he buys grain from the russians, unfortunately it is not surprising, because it was clear that after he started these negotiations , he wants to become a savior, he wants to show in this near east africa, by the way, that unlike the usa, russia from the west in general, even unlike china, only turkey may be the country that can save you , only turkey will continue this line worthy of being a regional leader lydia and turkey should be trusted are two countries with great
