in the second minute you say that russian-speaking ukraine will become russia. how do you now assess that forecast? how do you see what is happening before our eyes? how do you see russia trying to do everything possible to conquer ukraine under the pretext of a common fate and a common history of all that and how do you see what is happening in the region now? in ukrainian society, the separation from russian culture is growing rapidly, this was absolutely logical because the civilized russian state did everything possible starting from the very first day after the pereyaslav council to ukrainians have stopped being ukrainian and this is absolutely logical. so i appreciate it. this is absolutely clear and it is repeated once again. no bilingual ukraine will be able to exist, but i hope that now the readiness to switch to the ukrainian language, to be a ukrainian country, ukrainian culture

, ukrainian history, ukrainian cultural heritage is showing itself more and more. the number of citizens of our country but i repeat again let us return to all these issues after the end of the cruel and long war that we all have to survive and survive the ban on leaving men in the 21st century, is this ukrainian know-how or was it used in some countries that were at war? i don't know. i think that in countries that have been at war, such as israel, the ban on leaving during hostilities is usually applied. but no one there even thinks of leaving moreover, israeli citizens who live in other countries usually return to israel to defend the country, this is not a question of banning departure, it is a question of a clear understanding that all conscripts return to the state israel on the first day of military danger and

citizens of the united states who have israeli passports and citizens of other countries and simply citizens of israel say that in other countries there are a huge number of such historical cases in israel. i know this very well, so i am simply not an expert on other countries how do the laws of martial law work in different countries, it is necessary to find out what specialists the whole civilized world understands who putin is, writes viktor serhiyevich, his tactics are in the land, there is a senate, especially in eastern europe . the authorities do not raise the issue of the creation of an international anti-putniv coalition so that a german, french, italian , pole, etc. would stand together with a ukrainian soldier, then the problem with weapons would be much less. it seems to me that the international anti-putniv coalition has weapons, and it helps ukraine with weapons, but

ukraine is not a member of nato, and therefore putin's actions coalition looks the way it does because a real military conflict between the russian federation and nato could lead to the use of nuclear weapons and the death of tens of millions of people on all continents and of course ukraine in this situation has every chance to cease to exist altogether and turn into a nuclear desert, this is also an absolute reality. i don't think that anyone wants this in our reality with you. i think that we generally have a more ineffective anti-putin coalition that in general once existed in the history of good day, dear presenter, what do you think? zakarpattia is not putin’s because of them, because as you know, orban is his friend, thank you. i think that it doesn’t matter that putin considers occupying the entire territory of ukraine and it doesn’t matter what are we, vladimir putin's personal relationship with viktor viktor robanko leads ukraine, which is a member of nato and agrees with all

nato definitions that concern russia and the main threat to the alliance, of which hungary is a member. so you know this friendship friendship international obligations international obligations and in this sense, i am absolutely sure that the issue of danger for transcarpathia can arise only if the russian army passes through the entire ukrainian territory and reaches uzhhorod and moves to the passes, but so far we do not see it that way as real possibilities. if such real possibilities arise again in the plans of vladimir putin, the occupation of the entire ukrainian territory, none of the regions of ukraine can think that it will retain its ukrainian sovereignty . but i am sure that putin's aggression will be stopped, and we see that it is very difficult for the russians to advance even near its own borders. and you can be sure that hungary, as a nato

country and a european union country, will not help russia in any aggressive directions. do not invent please, mr. vitaly, please explain why , until this year, western countries considered russia an equal partner, despite the terrible corruption of the authorities, despite the bombing of moscow buildings by the fsb, the performances of journalists, for example, the nepolitkov murder of boris nimtsov, the german, the chechen wars, crimes in other countries, etc., for which they were so honored as such a person who calls himself civilized could cooperate with a regime that was criminal all these years bloody and did not even hide it. i believe that this is a serious mistake of the west. i am about it i said it repeatedly, i said it not only in the ukrainian media, i said it in the western media, i said it to the western politicians, among the journalists who always argued with me on this matter, there was a concept that putin should be involved, that

cooperation with the west is beneficial for russia and that it will help will help in the future development of democratic institutions in the russian federation and that this is the most important such moment that is er hmm convincing for the justification of this policy that the west has pursued in relation to russia, it did not begin with in 2014, it is true what you say, there were many signs of this much earlier. i would say that there were alarming signals already when the first chechen war took place, but the west convinced itself that then it was about the territorial integrity of russia, as if a state that is restoring its territorial integrity should act through a military conflict with its own population. i am not talking about what happened during the second chechen war, during

the carpet bombing of grozny, during illegal torture and disappearances of people. it was a real disaster, and by the way, i said at the time that both the first and second chechen wars did not just change russia, they seized any chance for democracy in the russian federation, well, unfortunately, western public opinion was far from understanding all this, that was the idea that we are now there we will have mutual benefits of cooperation and mutual understanding with the russians and that putin will of course be forced in one way or another to make his regime more cautious, more tolerant of other opinions, and all the more what we will be able to do if the russians themselves support putin, it is necessary to adapt to this somehow, i also believe that this

support of putin by the russians is also such a thing, you know the conventions of this point of view that, well, in russia there have never been free elections, there has never been competitive politics, in fact, somewhere from the second election of boris yeltsin, russia remains a country in which the media was initially controlled by oligarchs who cooperated with the government, it was called the regime of the banking family, and then the state completely took over this control over the western citizens even politics is difficult to understand, by the way, it is difficult for ukrainians to understand the fact that we are all used to it in one way or another, even in our country. we have simple conditions for competitive elections. we know that we have one candidate written by the president and the other is called for a debate. we know that we have competitors. political parties, programs, views on the future, what is it with us when

the president does not come to debates or a presidential candidate , it is such a shame, remember how yulia tymoshenko spoke to viktor yanukovych, who refused to debate, you know, i am referring to this empty space vladimir putin has never participated in any political debate in any competition in his life. by the way, the borisovs. these people have always been soloists. had no real alternative, not even a hint of such an alternative. you must realize that this is absolutely realistic in such a situation as i am talking about, and that is why when we now see russian society that is corrupt and corrupt

propaganda without an alternative, and the west should have imagined it, it should have understood that it is not about the support of vladimir putin by the citizens, it is about the creation of such an authoritarian regime. cooperation, this is not the last disappointment, we are still waiting for disappointment with china, i can assure you that it can be bigger and more serious than disappointment from russia and we don't know what the world will be like after this disappointment comes. now we live when everything is clear to everyone, when it is already a real confrontation of authoritarian democracy, it started in ukraine, who will win in this democracy in this struggle depends on what it will be like the world of the 21st century, ukraine is the first vaccine of this

cruel war, it will intensify, it will be much more cruel and bloody in different regions of the world, but the victory, i hope, will be for democracy, no matter how great this nation was victory thanks. i wish everyone all the best. dear friends, see you next time.

astra satellite should readjust the tuner to new parameters because the old parameters will soon stop broadcasting espresso ukrainian view thank you for watching i welcome you to the espresso channel today we will talk about how nato is finally starting to prepare for war with the russian federation as the north atlantic alliance will implement what i believe to be the results of the historic summit in madrid a new defense strategy and how much it will help all of ukraine to withstand the onslaught of the russian federation and win victory. my name is serhiy zhorets. i am the director of the defense express company, which , together with the espresso channel, tries to cover the most relevant events in the security life of our country. my interlocutor today is the head of the non-governmental analytical organization new geopolitics rysoch network and deputy director of the center for army research, conversion and disarmament mykhailo samus mr. mykhailo i congratulate you if you can hear from me

i'll start with the first question, can you hear me? of course , everything went well. it was right here in madrid, and this is actually an epoch-making event, because it's too much, at least how he feels. i have the impression that they finally switched to a common language with putin, to the language of strength, and you carefully watched this event, which is radically new. and systemic it should be noted that according to the results of the madrid nato summit well, to be honest, i did not note anything cardinal for myself, because the problem with nato is that they have not changed their strategic concept since 2014. unfortunately, only now they dared to do it and it will sound paradoxical, but until the last day, in the

strategic concept of nato, russia was called a strategic partner, it was nonsense in general, but unfortunately the situation was exactly the same and continuing the trend of gradually increasing its efforts to contain russia nato managed this time to take steps to continue the actions they have already taken. that is, there was a certain group of four battalions of nato tactical groups in the baltic countries. battalion-tactical groups agreed to expand to brigades, they had 40,000 rapid reaction forces, they will do everything. gradually expand them to 300,000 , and in their strategic concept , they finally called russia a systemic threat, and i absolutely agree with you that nato began to demonstrate everything after all, there is a single

understanding, a single awareness of what russia is, and they abandoned the policy of appeasement , the policy of dialogue, and so on, because nato constantly talked about the need for dialogue with russia and the creation of conditions so that somehow the conditions and the russian federation, which is negative from my point of view, nato still could not overcome itself and start acting on the law actively. character reacting to what russia offers russia shapes the agenda and in fact nato was not able to assume the role of the first violin in this confrontation there is no static concept of nato nevertheless efforts are made to form an active er active agenda with

with the aim of deterring russia not only in terms of non-interference in the affairs of the alliance, but also forcing russia to act in accordance with civilized norms. that is, we can not find specific tools there in what way nato will force russia not to act as they are currently acting in ukraine, they are talking about the fact that nato will deter russia from attacking nato itself and the alliance, and this is logical and understandable, because the main task of this organization is the defense of its members, but still, nato failed to take leadership and responsibility for development situations outside the borders of nato, and this i consider to be the most negative consequence and result of this, precisely because if nato continues to act in this way,

russia will have space for the maximum realization of its aspirations and tasks if they do not touch or interfere in the affairs of the alliance, i.e. if russia does not cross these red lines of the alliance, it actually has complete freedom of action in the caucasus and central asia or, er, in eastern europe, that is, the so-called post- soviet space is meant. well, actually, your conclusion is somewhat let's say it's debatable because, relatively speaking, we understand that now it's trying too hard to be more proactive, because it seems the concept of 2010 , which provided for a partnership with russia, it really looks completely similar now , but in particular, these measures are related to the increase in the number of nato troops directly on the eastern flank of the creation of new command structures that should operate in a new way from the point of view of e-e accumulation of power, the creation of rapid reaction forces in greater numbers there eight times more, although

we don't know, if there were 5,000 rapid reaction forces there before, how many of these 80,000 will now act in such a quick call , why do you consider these steps insufficient to talk about the fact that nato is starting to form a proactive position regarding the minimization of the russian threat well, i will explain my point of view using the black sea as an example, because since the 14th year, russia has obviously begun a-a occupation of the black sea, it occupied the sea of ​​azov and began to establish its dominance in the black sea, e-e ukraine for example, we also constantly said that nato should help ukraine and help alliance countries such as romania and bulgaria, after all, to prevent russia from turning the black sea into a russian lake in order to prevent

this to prevent nato should create or develop some kind of deterrence strategy, the key word deterrence is russia's presence in the black sea, there have been proposals from the eu to create a permanent nato fleet with a permanent command station e-e nato in the black sea in order to really e-e implement specific steps regarding the prevention of this zone establishes the id id, i.e. the zone of exclusion of nato forces by russia e-e the location of e-e forces by russia from the occupied crimea around the annexed a-a peninsula and such thus actually creating conditions for the blockade and not only of ukrainian commercial lines, but also of control in general , establishing the same control as the kerch strait, i.e. preventing freedom of navigation, but unfortunately nato refrained

from such steps, e-e made visits, e conducted training, but did not dare to really deter, i.e. the key word receiving was not the same, and at this summit, it seems that measures are being taken, but they are not aimed at deterrence, they are aimed at preventing conflation, and they are from well, that is, a hint, these are open. they say to prevent a conflict between the alliance and russia, to prevent the escalation of the russian-ukrainian war to the point of a global conflict , nato secretary general stoptunberg and president biden, that is, what is the difference between what nato is doing now and what nato could do now, uh, he is worried about russia not crossing the red line and nato not having to activate article five, and thus nato says that we will now

create there are enough forces that if you cross this red line, we will be ready to somehow oppose you, but if you do not cross the red line, just like in the black sea, if you do not touch nato countries, in principle, we can not, we will not deter you and in this was the main mistake of nato, because as a result, russia understood this calmly, occupied the sea of ​​azov, calmly attacked ukrainian ships in 2018, seizing ukrainian military sailors to be an open act of aggression against ukraine, but nato did not react in any way then, because it implemented this passive approach that if you do not touch nato countries, then we do not touch russia and this is the main problem because russia is happy to implement such a scenario because it still has a lot of space left to work without entering hostilities from the monato country. although from

the point of view of the baltic countries, for example, i agree that this is very, very important for them, because it is actually now clearly stated that if there are attempts, for example, to occupy the suvorov corridor, this is also famous she can react there. well, then the question arises. if we are trying to perceive nato and the nato summit in madrid as briefly as possible, the beginning of a new cold war, the purpose of which is to destroy, relatively speaking, russia, then such the message is incorrect because she also says that if we see that in madrid we only draw red lines that russia should not cross, then relatively speaking this cold war is a certain exaggeration because it is a goal that is not actually being realized well, here we can really say yes and no. for example, the adoption of a decision regarding the acceptance of

finland and sweden into the alliance. this is, in my opinion, a very powerful step, and i am sure that putin did not expect this, because he believed to the last that rydogan would block this entire introduction this process because he as if he did not achieve what he demanded regarding the kursk issue and putin will calmly declare to himself that you see there is no unity in the alliance, the alliance was not able to advance and they were so sure of this that, in fact, no one, even from the russian side, was able to comment on this normally, putin said something like well, they have no claim against us, let them join and so on, we only have claims against ukraine. in other words, this is a clear geopolitical loss for russia, and here i agree that just in relation to finland, sweden, uh, nato worked very effectively, but in relation to ukraine for example. it seems to me that there is such a paradoxical thing. the european union seems to have always been so amorphous
