this unity is from the west, it will fall apart. russia is working very hard to make this happen , including by activating all its sleeping agents of various levels with waves of conversations about what is needed, any and all at a cost, and at any cost, this means at the cost of our territories , our sovereignty, to achieve peace, the truth is that after yesterday’s events, it seems to me that again those western politicians who even earlier talked about the possibilities, maybe now they already have a tongue will not return to do such a thing, but it is important for a child this is a window of opportunity er when the event became as er excited as possible because they really er started from the fact that even there er about the increase of the same evilins there er it was very difficult to talk about and it was

only about you oleg weapons now , the training of the ukrainian military is taking place, and in britain, poland, and germany, you have worked a lot . you can confirm the readiness, or it was mentioned in the american press and with a reference to cnn from sources in the biden administration that americans will buy and deliver to ukraine a very modern anti-missile defense system and this very decision was accelerated under the influence of yesterday's missile strikes precisely because russia is now from various sources about this here is our anti- air defense that we need very modern defense systems because russia is becoming there is no way to launch missiles from the black sea, from the caspian sea, and from the air. and since there are kutsky and other regions, it is very difficult to

intercept such rockets, but now it has become common the task of the western world, and i think that soon we will receive real protection, if not of the entire territory of ukraine, then of very important strategic areas. you have heard that poland, romania and slovakia want to make a suitable shield in western ukraine in western ukraine, but the question is why is this it didn't happen, i was a witness to all these negotiations because the first thing was a warning that it would be a direct collision and it cannot be allowed , the americans were very afraid of this and tried to avoid escalation, it cannot be allowed that the collisions will be direct between there russian and chinese or american epilogues or the closed sky - these are pilots, this is a lot of planes, but this is a whole infrastructure and it is very expensive and technically very difficult to do because the territory is huge and for this it is necessary to control not

only the sky so that it is possible to strike not only this, uh, at enemy targets, enemy aircraft, but missiles, which we talked about with you, and artillery on the ground, that is, in fact, this is a full-fledged war, uh, there of the united states of the united states troops or nato troops with russia well, i already said that now the scenario of a direct collision is no longer excluded in the ato, it is planned in nato, and therefore if russia continues to try to provoke there, because now there is a situation with lithuania, kaliningrad, keninsberg and the russians. it just says that they are gathering there to make a corridor along the entire baltic sea and now well, in short, they have completely gone off the rails like this and it is impossible to listen and see. well, today the madrid summit starts, an important nato summit with toltenberg speaks that the strategic concept of the new security reality will be presented precisely at this three-day

summit, let's listen to what the nato secretary general has to say about the end of our forward defense; we will strengthen our battle groups in the eastern part of the alliance to the level of brigades; high readiness to more than 300,000 people our new concept will lead us into the era of strategic competition i hope this will make it clear that russia is viewed as an ally the most significant direct threat to our nato security . i understand that at this summit, in its documents or in the resolutions that will be adopted at the summit, it will talk about russia as a threat to both the north atlantic alliance and the whole world , while the vice-speaker of the state duma of the russian federation oleksandr babakov convinces its

citizens that if russia enters a war with the north atlantic alliance, it will definitely win. let's listen to babakov in opposition to stoltenberg. i would like to s- sharpen on the topic that you say it is impossible to underestimate our opponent , the enemy, in this case, a technically armed possessor of a sufficiently serious, economic, technological zero-weapon, it is in the hands of physical living people, i want to say that we are fighting for ourselves, for the truth, for history and what are you doing

it for? they carry peace, this is the destruction of the world, this is some kind of crook, a mirror, you understand, well, i just don’t know what to say about babakov, let’s give stoltenberg and how likely is it that russia will officially become an enemy of nato, this is one hundred percent loyalty, it is clear that russia is actually already recognized as the leaders of nato countries gives we add to that everything that we remembered and the state that finances terrorism and and and and and the topic there is the state that conducts a war of genocide and that has the task of destroying the ukrainian people, this is already not for the western world is subject for discussion, but there really is a crooked

mirror here, too, from time to time when i watch their broadcasts, well, in fact, it must be said that, for example , the discussion is going on in nato, and for example, president biden and the administration believe that after the russian as how ukraine was crushed by the russian the army, they said, well, for nato, this is a lifting force, that is, let the europeans increase the financing of everything. and we americans are there a little . of america and president biden in the fact that this and ramstein took place and the consolidation of nato countries took place, so in particular they wanted to see america much more physically present in the court and wanted to see

from america the continuation of the leading role in the confrontation with russia, and this is completely is changing the world because we remember the strong anti-american sentiments when we were opposed to american bases or american military being on the country 's territory. troops will be stationed there, let's say in germany and poland, because this infrastructure allows that not every country that is currently on the border with russia can station large bases there, that it needs rapid response forces, in a word, the world has changed so much that now the financing of european countries is also increasing and the transatlantic unity, which did not exist and which was undermined by rather successful russian propaganda, is increasing, that is, putin is a brilliant strategist, he achieved everything that

he did not want to achieve, and we are an example nato meeting and unification, because i well remember the times when nato did not know what to do. i was at the same ones and i talked to the secretaries general of nato. they believed that russia had disappeared and had no enemies. this is further, nato as a union is not needed by russia managed to convince the world that this is not the case, but jokes are jokes, but first of all, it is a victim of russian aggression, and first of all, the blow fell precisely on ukraine, and precisely because we aspire to be members of the european union and nato and i am sure that we will be both there and there, but the price which we pay, this is the biggest price of all the countries, which are now providing more opportunities from their funding, increasing support for ukraine and and and and and i repeat that it is very important for us that this

war ends there by the end of the year so that it does not drag on with crows about what some analysts hint . yes, mr. oleg, it is true, but in the meantime, the news is coming and from the russian mirror there is information that russia is introducing sanctions against biden's wife and daughter, against jill and ashley biden, sanctions are being introduced. well, i understand that this is the answer is about alina kabaeva from putin, and this list of 25 people included biden's wife and daughter, as well as stanford university professor francis fukuyama, they are prohibited from entering the russian federation. at least these symbolic gestures are still taking place. well, as

for the situation in general and in the relations already between russia and nato, we can see on the example of lithuania the situation around kaligrad, which is currently unfolding, we see how during the last few days this talking head of putin, medvedev, is talking about what we will finally show to the baltic states. well, they mean the inhabitants of the baltic countries. the russian federation and the north atlantic alliance are observers of this from the side. what can you say if putin dares to have a direct conflict with lithuania, because lithuania is a country that is a member of the european union

and nato and just like that for the russians it will definitely not work out and er there were times when the leaders of the baltic countries, and in particular the poles, it was precisely in 2014 when russia actually er started a war against ukraine by seizing crimea er then the leaders there -e baltic countries e-e leaders of poland had good reasons and then a certain scandal arose there. i would say that it turned out that in reality nato had no e-e effective plans of e-e response or protection or application of the fifth article on collective event on the territory of these countries and even until recently just a couple of days ago, we heard the statements of some leaders, in my opinion, the president of estonia, that according

to nato's defense plans, help in the event of an attack by russia, the baltic countries had to hold out for 180 days, which caused them outrage because there is no they simply said that we will not have it after 181 and that is why nato, in particular, in madrid, will also review this policy, in particular, the immediate reaction was from the united states, which once again emphasized that in the event they do not call him there, well lithuania was practically also called but in the event of an attack on any of the members of the options it is perceived as an attack on all and the united states actually said that it would mean a declaration of war on the united states in addition to everything else paradoxical but there is still an effective document about the -e relations between russia and nato on the corresponding pact

in accordance with this document, in accordance with this agreement e. in the risk zone and for according to my information, it will be canceled in madrid, eh. this agreement will lose its effectiveness, because it is simply a very strange situation that the threat of an attack is precisely on these countries, and nato has some obligations under the agreement with russia, which now, according to the new strategy, will be the main potential enemy uh, this union is why the events around lithuania are happening, and they, uh, this crazy medvedev, he's not the only one, they only talk about lithuania, they generally say that there is a need to clean up all the way to finland and not sweden. that is it's real there

it is better not to look at this program, but analysts are looking at it, nato is drawing conclusions and is sharply increasing now, and the presence of troops, aviation, an additional contingent, what the secretary general of nato said that they are doing 300,000 of only the rapid reaction force of american servicemen before the war was 70,000 in europe , now there will be 100,000 military personnel, but the big issue is not in the number of physical soldiers. there are physical soldiers, but in the readiness of this association to act instantly and no one is recruiting anymore no one's words talks about some kind of escalation, they just say that if you, uh, try uh, this territory , you will have to deal with the entire power of nato, and then there is that babakov about the values ​​and the heroism

of the russian army, well, ukraine has already shown what the russian army is like. its heroism and what it will be capable of and what the strongest army in the world is. well, the world has already learned about it. by the way, one of the partners, or rather accomplices, of the crime currently taking place in ukraine is oleksandr lukashenko, the self- proclaimed president of belarus, literally a few days ago, we watched how lukashenko asked and initiated a conversation with putin in order for him to place on his borders with western europe missiles that can carry ballistic missiles, including those with nuclear warheads, this is also a challenge for the whole world and for the west, because belarus is turning into a military training ground, a military training ground from which these missiles can be launched, and then he will wave his hands and say

, well, lukashenko gave these missiles, they mixed up the buttons and it all flew there on lithuania, latvia or estonia at the same time. over the past few days, we have been observing this debate inside ukraine and read the report of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine about whether belarus will go to ukraine or not. physically, the belarusian armed forces are meant, although the belarusians have been at war for a long time. they provide their airspace so that here and there russian planes attack us from the air, at the same time the state secretary of the security council of belarus oleksandr volfovych said on the air of the stb tv channel that they are not going to fight in today, our ukrainian neighbors are trying to put some kind of protection against

belarus against ukraine, unfortunately, although belarus does not threaten anyone . they are participating in the russian-ukrainian war or in the so -called special operation conducted by russia on the territory of ukraine. they say that we are not here at all, and this is the biggest threat not only to ukraine , but to europe. well, in europe, as well as in ukraine, there are no doubts that it is not the wolffs or the lukashenkas who determine the politics in belarus and they are not perceived as an independent country, primarily in the kremlin, because the packages fly from belarus and the troops entered from belarus and this is very insidious. therefore, it is not

an independent player, what they say there has no significance from the point of view of the appropriate reaction, will there be missiles flying or something happened from the territory of belarus or russia for nato - it will not make much difference, the answer will be the answer will be immediate and powerful, this is exactly the case with ukraine. ukraine has talked about this more than once. well, in fact, military experts say that there are 20 thousand of those troops in belarus, and here their main threat is that they are not expected by the ukrainians they did not expect that it was from the territory of belarus, because there is the closest distance to kyiv and to our northern borders, that it is from there that the russian troops can rest so calmly, re- arm, they have airfields , missiles are placed there, but i repeat that for it is not a secret that the decision is made not

in minsk but in the kremlin, and therefore belarus is accepted as a guide to the aggressor, practically as in the event that the war moves there or from belarus to nato , it will all mean the same thing and russia is from nato here, i think there are military experts and our command has no illusions about ukraine - it is even more dangerous. i am sure that if lukashenka is forced or he himself will go crazy there and give an order, the belarusian they may have some belarusian troops there number of scumbags, but most likely it will be the immediate end of the lukashenko regime because these troops will not exactly fight as if putin or lukashenko wanted it, there is a completely different

mood there and then we can definitely say that the next wave is there the expansion of the european union, belarus will already be a democratic country. well, we talk about this constantly on the air about what will happen to belarus in the event that the armed forces of the belarusian army enter ukraine, but still , look, we are watching how ukraine is fighting russia by introducing visas like russians now they will enter our territory at the same time or should we take any similar steps regarding belarusians ?

the way is to simply cut off belarus from us and these are the pro-ukrainian sentiments in many belarussians who simply throw up their hands and say we can't implement it or should we just bury these pro-ukrainian sentiments if we introduce visas, this is so. this question will be difficult because, in fact, we understand that lukashenka and the clique around him . unfortunately , it is losing its independence more and more, and from a military point of view. the russians are just the masters there, putin is the master there, but even the same lukashenko is still maneuvering, he is trying to convince the world and ukraine, in particular, that he

is not going to attack, but it's, well, it's mental a sick person, that's why they have a good relationship with putin, who traveled so much, wondering what to do with belarus. to be honest, i don't know, this is more of a question for our diplomats, because on the one hand, we need to maintain relations and, hmm, somehow distinguish the people from the rulers, but on the example of russia. for example, we see that public opinion there fully supports what is happening in ukraine. i think that public opinion in belarus, i heard about it that public opinion in belarus is fundamentally different in relation to before the war in ukraine from the russian one, if so, if the belarusians do not set the goal of destroying the ukrainians as a genocide against the ukrainians, if the belarusians do not actually support this war at the level

of sociological surveys there, then surely they cannot be compared under the same line with by the russians, who are already simply zombified and it will be decades before they have any fog in the head of russia, this is a separate topic, so maybe it makes sense to distinguish but i think that here i would like here we trust the armed forces and here i would trust ukrainian diplomats in particular i would talk to roman the immortal, who was in the service, he is much better at this, he understands my personal feeling that we need to preserve any possibilities so that in the event that the war spills over from belarus to our territory, so that there the situation exploded from the middle well , because that's about the way it is, the brand also

expressed an opinion and roman bezsmertnyi, who was on the air with us yesterday. everything she is not completed in 2020 because it is clear that there is a protest electorate there and it is large enough, and we have seen for several months that lukashenko tried to put out this fire in belarus, and thanks to the russian federation, thanks to forceful means, and it is clear that for belarusians it was a feat in general that they protested there for three or four months against the results of the elections and protested against lukashenka, whole groups went out to the streets in order to defend their rights, and the real question here is how in this situation we help the belarusians get rid of lukashenka i hope they help us get rid of putin now because there is a belarusian legion fighting on

the side of ukraine we will help them, well at least this should put an end to our conversation p olezh thank you for the conversation be healthy take care of yourself and your relatives see you in other broadcasts, i will remind our viewers that it was oleg rybachuk, a politician, a public figure, i say goodbye to you until tomorrow until 1:00 p.m. tomorrow, the former minister of infrastructure of ukraine and now a military serviceman will be gone of the armed forces of ukraine by volodymyr omelyan let's talk about the front let's talk about the infrastructure that is suffering now from the war well and about the prospects of ukraine to receive the marshall plan in a word wait for tomorrow's broadcast for today goodbye take care of yourself and your loved ones watch espresso news and euro programs espresso for of ukrainian refugees in europe joint
