effective, it could become one of the determining factors of the very limited successes of the kremlin. it was reported in the intelligence of great britain that putin 's army cannot gain complete superiority in the air and acts according to the principle of less risk. that is, it only occasionally goes deep into ukrainian lines, british intelligence noted. under the kremlin's crosshairs, russia has been undermining poland's security for a long time, a representative of the polish security services, stanislav zharyn, said this. putin has been using propaganda and disinformation for years to strike at the fundamental right of poles to its own statehood and security, in addition, moscow is trying to convince russian society and the west that poland has no right to subjectivity, should not be taken seriously by allies and should be gray zone between nato and russia, jaren added, the russians are

threatening again, saying that russia has free hands if europe does not resolve the issue with the so-called blockade of kaliningrad, these words were voiced by the head of the commission of the council of the federation for the protection of the sovereignty of russia andriy klimov europe must correct the situation with the alleged blockade and the region or this quote, russia will do it in any way it wants, it is about the fact that transit trains with goods that have come under the sanctions of the european austria has found a solution to the problem with russian gas in the country, the closed coal plant will be restored. this was reported by the office of the federal chancellor in vienna, there they noted that the closed malach thermal power plant in shtyra should be

converted in the event of an emergency. south of graz was the last coal-fired power plant in austria in the spring of 2020. it was the last time coal was used to generate electricity four bushmaster armored personnel carriers from australia are already in ukraine in general. the country should send us 14 such armored vehicles as aid. this was reported by the ministry of defense of australia. in addition, the armed forces of ukraine will also be reinforced with 20 armored personnel carriers and six m-77 howitzers with ammunition will also come to the ukrainian army . drones and equipment, a request for such assistance was previously sent to us by the ministry of defense, its amount is 200 million dollars, the ambassador of ukraine in canberra, vasyl miroshnychenko, welcomed the delivery arms to ukraine, but noted that we need

unfortunately, about russia, my name is yuriy. and this one this week, as usual, i have two guests, and the first one is ready to join me on skype. this is valery chalyi, a diplomat extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine. i congratulate you, mr. valery. i congratulate you. glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. thank you for joining . and i will ask questions that you will obviously be able to clarify as the answer to me, the answers to which will be able to explain to me the understanding and to our viewers . on the 23rd-24th, well, it is obvious. what is the most important thing that we will be interested in during the discussion? this is obviously the vote on whether to grant ukraine the status of a candidate for joining the european union. last week, the european

the commission voted and recommended granting us this status today, the president of the european commission , ursula von der lägin, expressed confidence that they will vote . there were the netherlands and denmark, but they said through the mouths of their leaders that they withdraw any claims to ukraine and they will vote for the granting of candidate status, but there are, i will not name these countries, but there are several countries who constantly express claims against ukraine and say that it is not yet ready to , after all, become a full member of the european union, well, it should get the status of a candidate now, what do you think we can expect on the 23rd-24th, i will tell you i would i was very surprised if the decision was different from the

unanimous decision of the eu leaders to grant candidate status to ukraine. the formula they chose is new. in advance, this status, er, a political decision is made, and then a road map is drawn up, according to which we have to carry out reforms quickly for all er, such blocs. well, rather, this decision concerns the judiciary in the first place. there is legislation on national minorities, there is the issue of herbicides in ukraine, what will the law be? in other words, in principle, everything is written there, so some interpret it in such a way

that the status is given and then if it is not implemented it can be taken away, well, it is a bold statement to take it away, but something similar happened with visa-free travel when the reforms were carried out, visa-free travel was carried out, then some moments arose and there were such conversations, maybe we will establish the visa regime again, so that there will be approximately the same option, so i well, although it is customary to give some admission, as you say . but everything can be, but this is not the case. i think that here, well, the probability is very high. if this is exactly the case, god forbid, that is, in your opinion, the ball is now on our field, everything will depend on that. as we will implement what is required of us , but in your opinion, how long can it last for months and years, well, i don't want to fight for tens of years, but you know, i ca n't even predict because two factors are key here. the first war is ongoing and can the government can explain

some of the delays to the ongoing war, but there are still questions that the principles were long overdue for resolution and can be resolved right now, so i didn’t find any such issues. i needed mm well, some conditions that are completely calm, that is, in principle, even during martial law, everything is there, everything that is written there can be implemented , so the first assessment is planned for the end of the year by the european union. well, i don't think it will be. everything is as optimistic as we are i would like to because, first of all, in this version, what about the interested ukrainian society is more difficult for the ukrainian authorities. because some things concern the powers of a certain balance between

, say, the executive judiciary, that is, i think there will be some nuances plus i don't understand eh well, some points are spelled out according to the laws there, for example, according to the ownership of audiovisual and others, comedy, which i don't really understand what will be required of us there, because in this regard, in principle, we have advanced quite far ago i think it is realistic to talk about the fact that if there is political will, then all this can be done by the end of the year, well, at least there until the next summit of the european council, well, god forbid, god forbid, let's go back to last week. we were visited by four leaders of european countries, well , special attention was focused on three of germany, olafsholtz, president of france, emmanuel macron and mario drago, and the prime minister of italy. well,

they were already called the trinity in different ways there - and let's not talk about how important it is. and the most important thing was the visit of these three leaders, because i will honestly tell you and our viewers what i personally thought, but such a comparison appeared to me, those who still remember -e in the feature film diamond hand they gave up on me on these three main characters who stood holding hands at the end of the film and held hands and they looked at them a car was driving and they were afraid to miss this car, that is, what did they say in ukraine that we want ukraine to prosper, we must condemn everything, we will do there give weapons, we will do everything for ukraine to win the war with russia, leave and make some slightly different statements, in your opinion, how useful and important was this one, i will tell you honestly, i was not very happy with the visit of the president of romania in such a format, 3-4 giants

joined, of course, from the point of view of moldova, as it will also receive candidate status, it would be very important for us to understand bilaterally, what we have from germany, that is, how the german chancellor's statement on the provision of weapons is implemented, and to discuss all these issues at the table separately with the president of france, macron. he had been going for a long time. about the candidate status, we want to see ukraine as a member of the european union. that is, well, in principle, such visits are collective, they rather involve many statements, because you are unlikely to be able to discuss everything bilaterally at some point, although it is a pity that such very intensive

bilateral discussions or conversations are not possible it happened as we would have liked, so expectations were somewhat wary, the result turned out to be more optimistic than we thought. at least from the point of view of declaring a public position, it is clear that these positions sounded mainly for their citizens who now more decisively support ukraine and the provision of more armed leaders. well, also for the parliaments in these countries. that is, it is obvious that these were more political statements. therefore, it will be necessary to look very carefully at their implementation. the french president said about additional howitzers caesar, as it were. well, we will see. i hope it will finally be realized. i hope it will finally be realized. the chancellor's promise, which is already a long time ago, to start providing ukraine with heavy weapons, but in general, what you said was kept. by the hands and well, i would say in another way, they developed some

kind of common position of the important countries of the european union, and really now let's talk about the anglo-saxon continental rivalry, it is somewhere in our favor, it somewhere came to this position that ukraine should be supported now so that it wins russia, god forbid, god forbid , look, we have already said statements, statements, let's listen to chancellor scholz's statement, which he made immediately after his arrival from ukraine, let's first listen to the questions, that's what they tell me let's listen to it a little later because something is not working in our technique. let me read it so that this mr. shol doesn't say when i talk to putin. i say the same things as you, please. understand that no dictated

there will be no peace and if you think that you can steal the land and then hope that times are changing and that's all we have, please understand that there will be no dictated peace and if you think that you can steal the land and then hope that times will change and that's it it will be as it was, then you are wrong the sanctions that were introduced against russia during the war will not disappear unless there is a fair peace, that is, a peace that is good for the people of ukraine, for the parliament, and acceptable for the president of ukraine. look, you said that you want to finally give us some weapons, something is coming to ukraine, something promises then he returns to germany and expresses the opinion that he will continue to talk about ukraine should not agree to the peace dictated later, but he will still continue to talk to putin, please explain to me, there is some logic in this. explain if there is

any, i won’t. i don’t see the logic. that is, this is just the first point of view from the point of view of ukraine, there is little logic in this. well, unless the ukrainian authorities would ask to be mediators. germany, france are again mediators, none are not members of nato, only the eu, but there are some mediators, everything is absolutely not suitable for us, it is not suitable because they are. it is clear what their interest is. we perfectly understand their interest, but what is the problem? the problem is that the executive power in germany also expresses in words exactly what the bundestag, the german parliament demands from them, the coalition is active where not only the chancellor but other parties, the people, and as a result they do something else, i can say now i see and we

all see that this call was er, well, absolutely conscious by the chancellor a fool with the supply of heavy weapons, no matter how he twists it, it was a conscious position , a wrong position, which now he must immediately correct consciously, that is, if there is another order of some kind, well, let it be possible, there is some kind of position, but i say once again, we do not see such a we do not see the position of the people of germany, we do not see such a position in the bundestag, we do not see such a position in the ruling coalition, well, what is it? that is, this german issue is internal. a threat to his political future in general , and he was forced to actively deny all of this, to say no, i and we do not help ukraine the most in the world, that is, that is not true today, so you know this, i just

frankly, what is happening, that's why the signals that came from germany in kyiv still give us the opportunity to say that this policy of dictation is over and there will already be absolutely adequate actions, adequate statements, well, god forbid, mr. valery . protection, after almost four months of the russian war in ukraine, the west is now afraid of russia or not, you know the word afraid. i think that many people in the west are not afraid of russia, they really do not want war as such, it is clear, well, that natural thing. we didn't want to, we don't want to either, but we see how to make wars impossible in a way other than defense. that is, we understand that against russia, you can

only stop russia only by force, and the west . it is still possible that someone has some illusions, well, they were afraid of weapons, you can use such a word and all we were afraid of these threats, but now i think that the answer was given not publicly, but through the necessary channels . i think that now russia will not wave the blackmailer's club like before, that's why, in principle, how they sound, they are afraid and they want to avoid a direct collision well, to be honest, i think i am still in that position and now sooner or later they will not avoid this direct collision, unless they now push back this front of struggle with russia as it is on our

eastern borders, they will give us not just a dose there and they will give weapons en masse, and according to them on the nomenclature, including airplanes and tanks, the fact that they are there, as president macron said that there is an agreement not to give ukraine, i do not understand this line at all, and there are systems of volley don't give fire and don't give tanks don't give attack aircraft planes well it's some kind of strange position what is it caused by i don't understand so if they don't do it if they don't strengthen this flank of the front until we are ready to fight i mean, well , people are ready to give their lives in the east of ukraine, then they themselves will face a direct conflict with russia , and for them, the dilemma is an opportunity, he and the advisors of the leaders there, they are still there. to be honest, they do not have such an opinion and
