according to the joint application of the russian federation and the european union on the transit between the kaliningrad region and the rest of the russian federation from 2002, as it was openly discussed in this regard, if in the near future cargo transit between the leningrad region and the rest of the russian federation through lithuania is not restored in полном объемое, then russia asserts itself the right to act to protect its national interests today, mykola patosh, secretary of the security council of the russian federation, arrived on a working visit to of the kaliningrad region, there is supposed to be a meeting on national security issues in the north-west of russia, but i still want to quote, or rather show another fragment from the interview of the self-proclaimed president of belarus , alexander lukashenko, with volodymyr rusalovyov, which was broadcast at the beginning of february, that is, before the great war russia is going against ukraine. lukashenko

is talking about lithuania and what can be connected with lithuania and in the near future the whole truth as it is so that it would be if it wasn't them even if it was her. from this, my neighbor kuka told me the truth at least once. she would not be here immediately and she is waiting. it is a special feature of belarus and the belarusian president is unable to give power. elementary. the fact that the danger comes from lithuania, well, that is, lithuania and the baltic countries are perceived by russia and belarus as enemies, but these countries are in the north atlantic alliance, when zakharova threatens freedom, it is somehow an answer and taking into account the war that russia is waging in ukraine, we

can understand what the response could be against the small, small country of lithuania on the part of the russian federation, how likely is it that russia, in order to demonstrate its power already in the north, can use troops or, let's say, some other force e- in the form of a so-called special operation in order to break through this land border from russia to the kaliningrad region, is this possible and can it hmm be applied to the current situation i think that this at this stage, russia may resort to certain provocations, there suddenly began training maneuvers the other day, and these maneuvers can be used for various already practiced kdb operations in the style of i mean instant instrumental kdb style. we remember how in

2006 ... eh on eh plyashtsiodosia eh there was a landing of the russian marines eh and it was practiced actually disembarking well for the purpose of capture although eh after they without any eh without resistance yes well this is a beach peaceful territory they carried it out, then they somehow apologized there, they said, well, they didn’t apologize, they just said that the commanders mixed something up there, but here too there may be such operations and operations that will be carried out in such a way that it does not look like a war or a military force uh, well, some specific military force operation, but it’s just a matter of feeling what it is there and uh. it would be such a

uh, in the style of the kdb, a threat, a threat, in order to study how uh, nato will be ready and how quickly the alliance will be ready to react to this and how exactly he will react. because this is the most important thing, i want to return to another situation before it became known on sunday that the chief of the general staff of britain, sanders, while receiving the speech in front of the troops, noted that the british troops have to be ready for uh in uh battles for uh waging war on the territory of europe and i want to try to provide a transcript of these words, what is behind this, the first thing is the great doubt of the british that the

british will be able to protect the countries of the central in eastern europe, this is a great doubt of the british military that the vast majority of the countries of central and eastern europe will be able to resist russia on their own. this is a very important point, because really, if you evaluate the military potential, only poland is now able to defend itself against russia, all other countries, for them, the calculation, taking into account the experience of the ukrainian army, the ukrainian window for them, experience shows that they can last a week at the most , and even more so, germany itself, let's say now it is in the best condition italy is quite weak about france well eh, but surely what are the goals of eh,

why are the positions of the shulka macron dear, why are they so restrained because they believe that even under the worst conditions, putin will go only to their borders, that is, to eh actually, those territories that were in quotation marks under stalin , that is, during stalin's time, it's no coincidence that putin has repeatedly identified himself and compared himself with peter the first, then with stalin, and he cares a lot and he really wants to be like that for this and to do something so bitter for the world that he would just be remembered, of course it doesn't matter to him now whether he will be remembered as an international criminal or as a land collector because it's basically the same thing if at the root to be true, yes, with regard to lithuania, the situation here

looks very problematic, well, it looks problematic, and there is one more point related to the statement of sanders, it can be interpreted in such a way that if you did not believe the politicians of the west, if you did not tried to maneuver and negotiate directly with putin a clash with putin under the regime of the criminal regime of the putin era, it will not be possible, it will not be possible to get out, and a collision will actually happen - this is actually the only chance to create a fuse against a collision, this is actually arming ukraine to the teeth and she knocked out the enemy, and maybe she approached, because

knocking the enemy out of her territory of beauty, approaching the change of the political system of russia, many people understand in what way what is needed for this, only one thing is needed - to stop feed ukraine only in the way that i call the mirror method, that is, there are tanks conditionally well, not tanks, but tanks are not given to us, for example, in russia there are self-propelled howitzers and they give us, well, in russia, we have tanks, they do it problems yes, literally today, the phoenix express published interesting information and an analysis of the fact that scholz did not agree again with slovakia, that is, new tricks from scholz, he had to transfer the leopards to slovakia and er in exchange for the transfer of 30 leopards to the german er slovakia would supply us with 30 t-72 tanks, not

new ones, but something. yes, of course, leopards. it would be better, but we understand that today germany is definitely not playing on our side and has taken such a palliative position. water is like a toy, there are big problems and problems in that and about them. by the way, it seems like literally yesterday, yes, yesterday , such an author of the washington post, uh, max-bud, often criticizes uh, and this is exactly what happened in the past. week he criticized the e-e administration biden for what exactly for this behind-the- scenes weaponry he said that it is necessary to provide new

superior weapons, he is absolutely right that before giving us weapons of a new generation that will give us advantages over russia, it would be very good , we would then be able to deal with the enemy, what advantages which is larger in number, which has more equipment , and what kind of weapons are we talking about, and it is not only about tanks, there is a leopard, or let's say abrams , america, and we are talking about, among other things, powerful drones, such as, let's say, bay eagle, which three times more powerful than, let's say, the barractar used by the ukrainian army, this is. by the way , let's say operational-tactical missiles, i think that when biden gave us the heimers system, he does not rule out that one day he will provide his

operational-tactical missiles because as you know, the heimers jet is a launcher that can be used for a volley of six missiles at a distance of about 70-80 km and to hit a target with one operational-tactical missile at a distance of up to 300 km and such things if it happens depressurization of the thoughts of this opinion in the united states in other western countries that this is not a war, that is exactly what maksbut wrote about yesterday with the help of compost that this is not a russian-ukrainian war, but that he is a shield against the whole beast however, all of the western world is actually a challenge to everything in the western world. he is the author of the washington post, he aptly called the situation

that exists today. of ukraine, and they only help they will begin to think that this is russia's war against the entire western world, the situation will begin to change and ukraine will begin to be saturated with serious weapons, including why why why is the world afraid that ukraine will have these weapons, maybe the world will leave this uh, the way for putin to get out of this situation, in what way would it be possible to agree on something with putin later, as macron says, that is, why are they afraid that russia will win in this uh history and ukraine will go forward and uh, russia will be defeated

why is this fighter’s party? well, let me try to use the example of macron and scholz to tell about this situation. about two weeks ago, i won’t tell you whether it was more or less. one of these two publications published insider information that they received directly from the government. scholz and the information related to the explanation of the reasons why ukraine is not provided with leopard tanks, as you know, rhine metal independently put forward a proposal to transfer 88 tanks to ukraine, which enterprises could really transfer them, let’s say some kind of idea that ukraine will somehow pay off later or or for example well, it is also a profitable company for the promotion of its

weapons, including that business is big, but even under such conditions the shultz government did not dare to make such a decision moreover, he forbade the spaniards, who wanted to transfer 40 leopard tanks to ukraine, he forbade the spaniards to do so. and there was an explanation of such a plan that we do not want the ukrainians to be self-confident and make such attacks that german tanks appear again on the territory of russia, i.e. such an explanation in fact, it seems to me that germany is striving for the restoration of business with russia, when there will be some kind of appeasement, including due to ukraine's loss of territory that concerns

france, as in kyiv, macron was not ashamed to admit that in kyiv in europe, there is a secret agreement not to provide ukraine with attack aircraft and tanks, and for this very reason, macron said very simply, we do not want to get involved in this conflict. this one the situation when work is underway to slow down the supply of powerful weapons to ukraine itself . to slow down in order not to lead to a sudden and uncontrolled fall of the putin regime. well, for what we have already said. there are some

explosive uncontrolled consequences, the fall of the regime , including the collapse of russia, what are they afraid of in the west, and well, as some consequences of some kind of powerful crisis, and the third one, which is actually the first, is the control of nuclear weapons. what is is holding back the west, well, now the situation is now, a lot of people are working on changing these positions, uh, many people inside the united states, inside the western world, and we will see if the united states suddenly changes its position and we get air defense systems about, for example, sam e against ships missiles, for example, the neimav mishael project, for example , the planes are the same a 10 or f16, if we start

receiving them, or at least there will be such decisions to be adopted so that the ukrainian ukrainian personnel will start training there to master these systems, well including the powerful drones, the same gray eagle or other covalent-similar ones, then we will see that the western world wants the victory of ukraine, and if this does not happen, then we will see that the western world is simply fighting so that ukraine does not fall and does not fall quickly, this is such a paradigm. unfortunately , since today's expectations are that ukraine will not fall quickly, that is, is there any definite limit to this or even the history of the fall of that, how can we fall, how will the west support us , that is, they are talking about six months year of war

they are talking about the years of war according to your feelings in the regime in which we are now with the supply that is now available to ukraine. could it turn into some kind of frozen conflict with constant shelling of the ukrainian territory or could it be some kind of peace agreement after some certain period of war and it will be clear that both russia and ukraine can come to some sort of peace, but after which russia will leave the desire to conquer all of ukraine, as you can see the following scenario from the bottom situation, i would say that there is a limit in each the leaders of each country are a little different, let's say, but i won't go into details, but all western countries are satisfied with the situation when ukraine will fight for another six months and a year, and even

two or three. everyone is satisfied. why? for them, the main thing is that ukraine does not fall and so that putin's plague does not go further there into nato into europe, because then nato will collapse and in fact there will be a situation when not russia will collapse, but the western world will collapse in the form in which it exists for e therefore understanding this, first of all, the united states are necessary great britain, they act a little in advance , for example, today it was announced that the governments of the united states and canada are working on the activation of russian sanctions , which will work. visit of lockitt martin uh, that's where javelins are created and produced. he said

that it is necessary to reach a situation when russia will not be able to uh, build powerful weapons, that is, not to give uh, the opportunity to get components, i'll remind you that only for example, a fairly simple drone orlan-10, which is very often used by russia. there are a lot of american , german, swiss, dutch components, that's why they are in japanese, even that's why, if the western world created a system without international control over the implementation of sanctions, it would be normal help and strictly speaking, these kinds of things are not military, and the administrations of the most leading countries rely on them. as for european countries and western european countries,

they even look at it conditionally, because we know that before the invasion of a large-scale 22 in 2016, there were sanctions against the russian diamond company, which makes tools, and this company could, through fake companies, receive assembling, therefore, in different countries, they see it differently, but all countries, including putin, are satisfied with the situation struggle for years, all countries are satisfied with the situation when ukraine loses territory, and that is why i insist that ukraine makes a number of internal decisions with the countries of central and eastern europe, which are really threatened by putin from poland there

czech republic and slovakia to all the rest of the baltic states, it is urgent to start developing their own production, in particular missile production, ukraine is capable of making operational-tactical missiles, cruise missiles, not from zenith, the future of the system, e-eyes, candles, blades are american, yes, only ukrainian versions of killer drones, ukraine is able to do it yes and attack drones dakhno do and tanks are able to do which do not allow us to quickly start doing this and agree with the western world does not want to give us weapons give quickly money for within langley within the framework of any eu programs, yes, ukraine and poland signed a contract to receive from poland a self-propelled artillery station

, crabs, and there is a lot of european money. to knock out putin, if we can't achieve that, thank you, mr. valentin. unfortunately, the time of our program is coming to an end . thank you for participating in the program, and it was valentin, a military expert, a writer and a person who knows about the ukrainian army. practically everything and about ukrainian weapons, friends. i want to remind you that we work simultaneously on several platforms on the air of the espresso tv channel, as well as on facebook and youtube. you can subscribe to our channels on other social networks. read our news on the espresso tv website. i say goodbye to you until tomorrow . by 1:00 p.m. tomorrow, the verdict will include lieutenant general of the security service viktor yagun, let's talk about the situation on the northern border of ukraine and belarus about the intentions of the belarusians

. whether to grant ukraine the status of a candidate for accession to the european union last week, the european commission voted and recommended to grant us this status today, the president of the european commission, ursula von der leighen, expressed confidence that such will vote, but see, after all, there are several countries that, to put it mildly, express such slight skepticism about whether to grant ukraine this candidate status, the netherlands and denmark were the netherlands and denmark, but they said through the mouths of their leaders that they withdraw any claims against ukraine and they will vote for the granting of candidate status, however, there are, i will not name these countries, but there are several countries that constantly express claims to ukraine and say that it is still not ready to

become a full member of the european union, well to get candidate status now, what do you think we can expect on the 23rd-24th, i will tell you. i would be very surprised if the decision was different from the unanimous decision of eu leaders to grant candidate status to ukraine, the formula they chose is new let's say it was possible for a period of time to fulfill all the preparatory necessary conditions there, now if we were given this status as an advance, a political decision is made, and then a road map is drawn up according to which, for all such blocks, we have to quickly to carry out reforms well, rather, this decision concerns the judiciary in the first place. there are issues that were really insisted on by the country as such, such as

hungary, there is legislation on national minorities, there is a question, uh, next to herbicides in ukraine, what will the law be? that is, in principle, everything is written there, so what? some interpret it in such a way that the status is given, and then if it is not fulfilled, 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 reform was made visa-free, then some moments arose and there were such conversations, maybe we will establish the visa regime again, so there will be approximately the same options, so i well, although it is customary to give some permission there, as you say , but everything can be, but this is not the case, i think that here uh well, the probability is very high if this is exactly how it will be, well, god forbid, that is, in your opinion, the ball is now on our field, everything will depend on how we will implement what is required of us

, but in your opinion, how long can it take later months years, well, i don't want to fight god, tens of years, but still, you know, i ca n’t even predict because two key factors are here. the first war is ongoing, and the authorities can explain some delay precisely because of the ongoing war, but there are still questions, there are some that, in principle, were long overdue for a solution and can to be solved right now, that's why i didn't find there actually, not a single question like that, well, seriously, what did she need? well, some conditions that were completely calm, that is, in principle, even during martial law, everything is there, everything that is written there can be fulfilled so that the first evaluation is planned for the end of the year by the europeans
