here is a plane scheme. well, for example, it worked in one way or another. here is the scheme of the so-called oil exchange for food. it was exactly the same. we can’t say that it was exactly the same, but it was similar to the one that is now being discussed. the question in the other russia will be long. this is also taking into account how inadequately the russian regime will continue in general on the rate of russian oil to those consumers who will try to fix its prices. this is the first and second . which will definitely be this decision will break this india and this chinese if they are ready to apply to them the same sanctions peace continuation of russian sanctions - this is one story if they are not ready then it will be a rather

empty solution the state sponsored the terrorist, and such a resolution was registered in the usa, and it was the american legislators who were already talking about it. further, so that russia really got into this club, from north korea, in my opinion, cuba and other countries, and then they appointed biden such a solution, well, in this case, i am still not an americanist, it is not difficult to say what exactly is the balance of power in the us congress? what exactly is the balance of power in american politics in general? as far as i understand, there is a political ascaria game and confrontation as usual between the traditional democrats and the republicans.

in this case, the democratic administration of joe biden is not acting as the most active driver of sanctions against russia, but the most active sanctions are proposed by one of the two wings of the republican party, and the democrats either suppress these issues a little or somehow support them, and here are two possible strategies, i think what is strategic, it will develop like in many other countries where decisions are made at the level of parliaments, it will be the same as it is recognized, for example, genocide may be recognized regarding ukrainians from the russian federation but this is most often one of the two houses of the parliament makes such a decision and further at this stage everything hangs and the executive power or in this case in the usa the president's administration does not implement this decision, that is, they do not implement it in life

accordingly, there is a symbolic solution from it very often, it is possible to rely on it, it is possible to operate as a clear definition of what the russian federation is doing, but at the same time, this solution is not has a strong legal force thank you and -y unfortunately, we have to move further on our big broadcast thank you, a russian political scientist was in touch with us and you preobrazhensky this morning, russian troops struck one of the districts of slavyansk, the production facility was occupied, these shots were taken by a radio correspondent freedom in the donetsk region serhiy horbatenko he reports that eyewitnesses observed the smoke from the fire and in neighboring cities there is currently no information about the victims. analysts of the american institute for the study of war, according to the analytical center of russia, will most likely

have to abandon the intensive advance in the luhansk region in order to resume the offensive north of sloviansk well, now before the events in the luhansk region, the russian troops are more exhausted. the process is evidenced by the results of russia's use of combat formations under of severodonetsk, this is stated in the current report of british intelligence, where it notes that now the ukrainian military continues to entrench itself in lysychansk after as severodonetsk retreated, lysychansk is located on higher ground, so it will probably be more difficult to capture it than severodonetsk, in particular, representatives of the local authorities and military analysts spoke about this on our broadcasts, according to the head of the region serhii gaidai. now there are fierce battles around lysychansk, russian troops are superior in equipment and personnel of the ukrainian forces, which lack long-range artillery . cisterns, at least nine of them died and more than

20 were injured, this was also reported by serhii gaidai , according to him, many of them had to have their limbs amputated . read more about the situation in luhansk region. please, what is the situation now, if you know, of course, around lysychansk, in particular, how the fighting is going on there now, i'm afraid, in fact, for half a radius around vysochansk, they are even asking to it is now taking place in the area of ​​upper kamianka at the lysichansk oil refinery, the russians are trying to expand the bridgehead for an attack on vysochansk, besides, the position is interesting from the point of view of cutting the bakhmut-lysichansk highway, so, besides, they are storming berestov again from the direction of

here to hit us mykolaivka, eh, three main points today in the luhansk region. this is the brest road between the lysichansk bakhmut oil refinery and directly vysochansk, white mountain, vovcha yarika, mr. vlasenko, here when we analyzed the situation in severodonetsk, then we actually compared lysychansk with severodonetsk. and many people said that it would be more difficult to capture lysychansk due to the fact that it is located higher, but is it really correct to say that it will not work with lysychansk as it happened with severodonetsk well, here it is worth to remind that for quite a long time they tried to capture from severodonetsk well, i hope that it will be like that according to the topography of the area, lysichan is really the dominant height, but uh, part of it, well, probably somewhere around half of

lysychansk, covering seversky donets, uh, it's there is also a plus, but the russians are very real, there are a lot of them, the aviation and artillery are working very powerfully, and they are already trying to storm lysychansk with a wide front, so the situation is very difficult, but i say that from the point of view of the tactics of hostilities there, the situation in lysychansk is much better than in severodonetsk. well serhii gaidai, in particular , launched a video in his telegram e-e where he explained that it is necessary now that such a task is facing the armed forces of ukraine and to hold e-e lysychanska for as long as possible. can you explain what is the purpose of this first of all, usually, first of all, it is a military expediency. is it a humanitarian motivation to save this city , but why is it important and why, for example, is it not possible? well, it is so important to hold it. well, if you hold the city longer, then i do not think that it is a humanitarian mission because it is still russian

aviation and artillery will be more defeated. i think that this is more of course a military goal because we are tying down significant forces of the russians. it is in this direction that, firstly, secondly, we are exhausting and causing significant losses. to our defenders on others directions is to implement some counteroffensive actions, and i still believe that there will most likely not be any breakthrough or counterattack from our side in luhansk oblast, donetsk oblast, but the zaporizhia or kharkiv direction. in general, it is easy to predict, in particular , mr. gaidai also spoke, but not only he, about the fact that the lysichians are the last outpost of the ukrainian troops in the luhansk region, if they capture it

, uh, so many people said that it would be such a victory is symbolic for the russian troops, uh, it will be completely captured, it is the luhansk region , if we predict how much, well, can it happen and if it happens, uh, can we say that it is possible, the russian troops will take some kind of pause well, i think that in the near future this it will not happen that the russian troops will stop. i think not, i think that slavyansk, kramatorsk and bakhmut remain a priority for them. moreover, they are also very, very close to bakhmut, which is 10 to slavyansk and yes. this will be a certain victory for them they relatively speaking liberated the lpr and went to the administration of

the border of the luhansk oblast. victory for them, i want to ask you about the humanitarian situation in lysychansk itself. is it possible to evacuate from this city now, well, there is practically no right now, it is very difficult due to logistical issues and the issue and value of hostilities e there are military personnel working there the emergency services are working there, the police and eu communication are working there, local help and medical are being provided, point evacuations are taking place, well , according to the information, humanitarian aid has not been delivered in the last couple of days, but there are still some stocks in the city, eh. i also want to ask about this report that they were shelled from eight people were killed in the lysychansk civilian hurricane, and was it intended to

hit civilians? is it just such a coincidence ? how do you know? do you know something that is unknown ? there can only be guesses. i don’t think that it is true. metabola is exactly what these people will get, but the very fact that such projectiles are used on civilian objects in the city, eh, i think this is already a war crime, so there is no point in justifying that this will be done. i don't see the russians as terrorists, their army - this is an army of criminals, so i think that our guys should take revenge and the world community should condemn all these actions of russia. mr. vlasenko has one last question for you: what is the current situation with severodonetsk , which has already been captured? there are not many russians left, the occupation government is being formed there, they are promising some kind

of reconstruction there, they are promising humanitarian aid, but i think that this is more of a propaganda topic than real actions, the situation there with the frontiers and there with popasna, where the occupation is already there for about two months it shows that they are not doing anything there, the cities are turning into military bases and there is full power of the russian military, thank you very much we continue to follow the situation in luhansk oblast with us there was an affair vlasenko head of the north donets district state administration the third separate tank brigade of the armed forces of ukraine repels russian attacks, helping the infantrymen to hold back the advance of the russian army. about one of these battles, the tank crew told radio svoboda, and the military shared their thoughts on the role of tanks on the battlefield. the probability of a counterattack by the ukrainian army.

i served for 16 years, the difference is big. before, we could not even see the enemy by coordinates. we worked from closed positions, of course, and we work like that here. but there were also cases when the enemy came out. by combat groups at a distance of 100-200 m i had this happen for the first time that a whole column was coming behind us 120 125 meters gave the command to the gunner the enemy from behind the gunner from the first gunner already with the first shot of the cannon destroyed the bmp-3 with the second shots of the cannon

also hit the bmp-3 like me they were already hiding with a accumulative projectile , this one there literally no one remained alive from these crews, then we had a problem, the gun jammed a little, the machine gun was loaded again, they fixed it manually, also on bmw 3, they got into the support rink, it, too, this bmw 3 also failed, they played to overtake and when to strike with a high-explosive high- explosive shot, we knocked out his system. he could not immediately restart the enemy's system, so

soon there was a minute of time. sitting in these tanks, and is there any motivation in the personnel of the russian federation, orcs, so-called if sitting in the car, a person who does not know how to use, or who has not learned how to use tanks, and judging by the survey that they they pull toilets and steal women's underwear , i want to say that there are not very many professionals among them, to put it mildly, but the professionalism of our tankers has already been proven on all front lines, and the role of tanks has repeatedly been a fist, a fist, a counterattack, but of course, without the support of artillery, a counteroffensive is impossible, secondary there

are tanks and infantry infantry without tanks nowhere and tanks without infantry also nowhere the group of seven will not calm down until russia stops the cruel and senseless war against ukraine this is said in a joint statement by the leader of the leading of the world economy, did the bavarian alps end today? the leaders of the g7 countries undertake to continue to provide financial humanitarian and military aid to ukraine and do not limit themselves in terms of terms. they are ready to do this as much as necessary . this is a quote and statements. at the summit, his host, the german chancellor

, added that relations with russia should not be returned to military level. the group of seven promises to continue to pressure russia with sanctions and strengthen them so that russia emphasis realized that it is impossible to dictate peace on ukraine's terms without a fair agreement with ukraine, all sanctions will remain, i don't think that this has become clear, that's why i would like to repeat it here, there will be a way out only if putin agrees that his plan will not succeed, and that's what now at stake is the aggression unleashed by russia in ukraine is aimed at the surrender of ukraine, there are no negotiations, so sanctions against russia, we will continue ukraine and its people, and we will continue to support it in order to win either its complete victory or opportunities for under the conditions of the elected ukrainians to introduce their own negotiations already now the leaders of the g7 countries from german

bavaria went to madrid for the nato summit, which starts today and will last until june 30. we will follow this event . of communication, this is an expert on national security issues, candidate of political sciences. i congratulate you. well, it is obvious that this summit at least does not talk about providing ukraine with a plan for gaining membership, so what to expect from this summit in for ukraine, the first thing is very clearly articulated political support at the level of the alliance and at the level of the organizational support of those weapons and the military aid that is being supplied now thanks to the rammstein initiative and, accordingly, individual initiatives and the general secretary of nato from toltenberg of certain countries has already announced that one of the tasks that will be

discussed and actually agreed upon by all nato member countries at this summit will be a plan for long-term support of ukraine in terms of rearmament and transition on nato standards in terms of weapons and in terms of interoperability, this actually means that nato in this case will act as, let's say, an organizational guarantor and that the weapons that will continue to arrive thanks to ukraine thanks to the rammstein initiative these weapons will be used not only to solve military tasks at the front to resist russian aggression, but also these weapons will fit doctrinally, organizationally and technically into the future structure of the armed forces of ukraine and accordingly, in this way, the alliance will provide a framework for the readiness of our armed forces not only to use nato weapons in combat, but also , let’s say, to completely switch to this standard and accordingly, in this way, to guarantee

for ukraine another absolutely real and is an absolutely practical step towards the future official membership of our state , well, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, when he was asked what he expects from exactly that, he said that it is not a miracle, but just the same he said that so far during the four months of the war of the full-scale invasion of russia, nato allegedly did not help ukraine. well, if i am not mistaken here. and what am i, somehow, he formulated it this way. and how do you assess whether nato as an institution really turned out to be unable to help ukraine? here are two points, the first point is that we really shouldn't have high expectations from nato, as he did from the international security organization . yes, it is the foundation of the north atlantic alliance , and in fact there is this fifth article of the washington

treaty, which lays the foundation of collective security, it is actually very clear, it is the security, first of all, of the territory of the citizens and countries that are members of the alliance, no more and not less, that is, nato has never positioned itself as a-a well, let's say it's a global a security institution that, well, defends peace throughout the world, so actually, based on this priority, nato as a security institution worked quite well in this case. because we did not see an attack on the alliance by the russian federation, that is, in principle, if we proceed from such narrow priorities of nato as an international security organization, ah, in principle, well, they cope with their task, it’s another matter that ah, those political signals that eh the alliance sends, among other things, to the russian federation, so in the conditions of this full-scale war between russia and ukraine, these signals could be much more powerful, and it is not about any deployment of weapons or any additional military exercises that

well, it's also quite a strong argument if we remember what putin's regime is and what arguments actually apply to it, but even at the level of statements and at the level of actions of individual nato member countries. well , let's say yes, these statements and these actions, they could be much more powerful. so here we can mention, for example, that the united states of america several times, for example, postponed this verbal nuclear blackmail because of russian, so these threats with a nuclear baton are theirs, and the united states postponed several times the test launches of its new ballistic missiles, that is, this is definitely not the signal that should have been demonstrated to the russian leadership, that is, at this level, you can really talk about what the alliance could do more, in fact , this summit is taking place against the background of a missile attack on a shopping center in kremenchuk and there is already a reaction from the g7 actually to the video of individual leaders of the

west. will this affect how this summit is conducted? perhaps it will somehow push the nato member countries to some more decisive actions. i think that these actions well, unfortunately, no matter how much we would like it, they , er, cannot significantly affect the er agenda itself, just as it was determined in advance. will reinforce the determination of the nato member countries in that at least the steps that the alliance has planned for itself to counter the russian threat and russian aggression will be supported even more decisively and, accordingly, well, let's say this is the unity of the member countries it will allow nato to in the future, to come to a different principle, a different quality of decisions at the level of the alliance, here we are also talking about support for ukraine, and actually here we are talking about those priorities that are generally set for this purpose, that is, well, clearly, there will be a more decisive, decisive support for the understanding

that russia should be called the main threat to the euro-atlantic security, as well as the steps to strengthen the eastern flank of nato according to the readiness of nato and to the defense of at least the baltic states from a potential russian threat, all these decisions they will be accepted with much less possible internal disputes or confrontations, that is, in this context, the actions of the russian leadership, on the contrary, unite nato as an international organization and a member of the alliance and, accordingly, bring ukraine and nato as an international security institution, well , you really mentioned that a decision to strengthen the eastern flank is possible, i will remind our viewers of the context, in particular, how there are many reasons for this in fact, but one of them is that this is what the prime minister of estonia, yaka kalas, said in an interview with fenel shaltanz. she said that if russia decides to attack estonia

, this country can simply be wiped off the face of the earth , because according to the existing strategy, the occupation of a member state can to last 180 days and where the occupation should take place during those 180 days, and this is how the prime minister of estonia gave ukraine as an example that it is not just 80 days, it is also in ukraine in particular, but there is already significant destruction, significant victims as you expect, is nato really capable here? to change the rules of this regulation and agree to react faster, of course, because the transformations in the alliance in view of the russian threat actually began after 2014, the only thing is that then these transformations were primarily based on the fact that the russians take this as a basis the so-called scenario of hybrid aggression, that is, it is not a full-scale invasion and a small-scale armed conflict, but primarily the use of so -called hybrid forces, irregular armed

formations, and so on, but on february 24, 2022 everything radically changed because nato member countries suddenly saw that the war in europe is, well , in terms of its intensity, let's say it is almost equal to the second world war, it is possible and it is also necessary to adapt to such a threat in this context , there are tools that nato has to ensure euro-atlantic security, and since the 14th year there have been a lot of problems in this toolkit. this is how we remember that even during trump's presidency there were very loud political scandals about what, to put it mildly, not all nato member countries deduct this mandatory 2% gdp for the security and defense sector, then germany was involved in very big scandals related to the actual fighting capacity of the german army, and there were also a lot of moments related to the fact that the alliance could counter the potential of the russian troops on the eastern flank in terms of quantity and quality.

then it was born the concept of the so-called reinforced advanced basing when the nato member countries understood that such great powers as, for example, britain, germany, france, or the united states, in order to mobilize the entire their resources, they need time in order to transfer the troops, equipment, ammunition, in sufficient quantity to the eastern flank, and this time must be won, and therefore, ah, too, then it moved to the policy of strengthening the capacity of the countries of the eastern flank, that is, the central-eastern europe and the baltic states until they took the first blow and held out until the big nato member countries could send them reinforcements . well illustrates the situation, mr. zoftenko, i would like to ask you to answer the last question briefly. here are the prices . it informs that certain officials in the white house may already lose confidence that ukraine will be able to win back all the territories that russia captured after

february 24, but they will not stop continuing . to support ukraine and put pressure on russia and then who can imagine the end of the war in ukraine? well, i think that the information announced by the sinn is uh information exclusively uh about some uh working discussions we should first of all to be guided by the official position of the white house and the u.s. political and security institutions. and this position is actually approved by the statements of american leaders , it is also approved by the results of the g7 meeting, and most likely this position will also be confirmed at the nato summit, which is actually the end of the war, these will be the conditions and circumstances that will be acceptable, first of all, for ukraine , thank you very much, we have to, unfortunately , taras zokhtenko, an expert on problems, to be in touch with us candidate of political sciences of national security, on

the constitution day of ukraine, they set a world record for the largest performance of the song oh in the meadow, red viburnum, more than a thousand people from 47 countries of the world sang the ukrainian song, viv became the main location of the event, but hundreds of people joined the singing online. look how it was in ukraine! » this is how i say goodbye to you. thank you for watching svoboda life. my name is sashko shevchenko. and we will be back again tomorrow at 6 o'clock. i also encourage you to subscribe to the radio's social networks freedom goodbye war in ukraine is the main topic
