asking for help from relatives who were kidnapped, who were arrested, who were subjected to brutal treatment, torture, etc. and according to our database, now, in general, there are more than 500 such individual cases, this is not only kherson region, this is the situation and freedom in various occupied territories that were under occupation and then were released, for example, the kyiv region , and this shows such a pattern of the russian army, which is prohibited by the fourth geneva convention, how to exterminate, overcome attempts, we have to finish our issue, i apologize for this, we have goodbye until tomorrow

glory to ukraine, this program is a verdict, my name is serhiy rudenko, everyone, have a good day and good health, today is the 131st day of heroic ukrainian resistance against the russian occupation, the russian military is intensively shelling luhansk and donetsk regions in sumy oblast, they struck a psychiatric boarding school, and in kharkiv they partially destroyed a school in the last day, approximately 230 russian occupiers were liquidated, most of them in the slavyansk and donetsk directions. at the beginning of the great war, the russian occupiers have already lost 36,200 people in ukraine 1,589 tanks 3,754 armored combat vehicles 804 artillery systems 246 rocket salvo systems 105 anti-aircraft defenses 216 aircraft 187 helicopters or 629

units of automotive equipment 15 ships and boats 143 cruise missiles 658 drones 65 units of special emergency equipment remains, as i said , in the luhansk and donetsk regions, all other regions are under shelling, the regions in the south and east of the country have to attention sumy oblast chernihiv oblast is also the south of ukraine mykolaiv oblast odesa oblast you know friends that over the past few days the enemy has been attacking mykolaiv quite intensively destroying residential buildings well of course over the past few days we have been actively discussing and talking about what might happen on the northern border ukraine, we

know that the ukrainian state borders belarus and the length of this border is more than a thousand kilometers, and of course we follow the statements that come from the lips of the self-proclaimed of the president of the republic of belarus, oleksandr lukashenka. i hope that valery chaliy, the extraordinary ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america in 2015-2019, will join us now, and we will talk with him specifically about the statements of oleksandr lukashenko. on the good day broadcast, glory to ukraine glory to the heroes so valery yesterday , oleksandr lukashenko declared that he fully supports the russian attack on ukraine, and is an ally of russia in the war against ukraine, which he

calls special operations, just like putin, let's let's listen to what lukashenko said and who is attracting us in general. you didn't know that we have the narrowest union of the russian federation with the state with which we are building. to the world, we must show others this example and that they did not know that we have created a long time ago in the union of belarus and russia , the united armed forces, in fact, the united army already knew all of this, so why do we blame today, we were and will be together with brotherly russia, our participation in the special operation

was determined by me a long time ago, well, such a statement was made yesterday, july 3, when the so-called independence day was celebrated , because, well, considering this statement by lukashenka, there is no independent belarus anymore . if he is talking about some new independent state united between russia and belarus, then mr. valeryovych, what lukashenko is saying now means that we are trying in vain here to speculate or make certain predictions about whether belarus will go to ukraine or not, she has already left and he said that we have been in this special operation since february 24, what else does this statement mean for us and for lukashenka, if you will allow me a phrase about independence day that has never been like this, today i want to take advantage of this opportunity to congratulate the friendly people of the united states of america on independence day and remind

lukashenko, he is looking for, reading books, how many examples were there when the country really united for a common future on a democratic basis . for belarus, the problem is that lukashenko does not represent an attack on belarus from the word go, he is completely illegitimate, he has no rights, well, at least from the point of view of the external large part of the belarusian people, so it is clear that he will now fulfill putin's whims for a reason, he is already in fact several times in recent days, and now, during this speech and at the meeting with lavrov, he tried so hard to explain all the time that we are equal, we are not occupied, they are not taking belarus from russia, as he said there, that is, i understand that

is happening, he perfectly understands what is happening, he is a puppet of putin in order to simply leave the belarusian people in such a very difficult situation, in fact, and such an occupation of belarus and the fact that he refers to the union state well, yes, these documents have been around for decades, but he ordered, he tried to leave he owns the power and that's why belarus is sovereign now he's just merging into a potluck well, by the way, yesterday the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky reacted to this statement of the self-proclaimed president of belarus he said that such statements are dangerous, first of all, for the belarusian people, let's listen to zelensky. i think it's not a secret for anyone that rockets were fired from the territory of belarus over our country, as far as i know, mr.

lukashenko clearly or directly in one or another format gave a signal to the whole society, including belarusians, which is very important because it will support ukraine itself and our position. therefore, he gave signals that these or other crayfish were released without his will. it seems to me that he should not involve belarus in russia's war of aggression, he is in russia against ukraine and the violation of all international treaties of international law in general. it seems to me that the signal that was sounded dangerous. well, i think that we will see with you the result of these signals. valery, what signal should be from the side of ukraine, because we understand that until now ukraine has clearly identified the aggressor, it is the russian

federation e- from july 1, we introduced a visa regime for russians, we broke off all diplomatic relations with the russian federation, that is, we took a lot of steps to show and demonstrate our will to be independent and distant from of the russian federation, at the same time, before this statement by lukashenka, we did not apply any sanctions or measures against belarus. i mean, we did not introduce visas for belarusians, we did not call on the whole world to treat alexander lukashenko more harshly, cruelly. is this the situation when kyiv can already say listen ? belarusians or even the leader of the self-proclaimed leader of belarus must answer together with putin, and accordingly we must make some decisions for this

, you and i know that the belarusian people are also there are very difficult situations under the dictator, but at the same time it is different from the situation in russia, after all, there were attempts and partisan struggle so that the weapons did not reach the borders, e. only ukraine is a part of ukraine well, belarus and now, in my opinion, it is very important for them and for everyone that they create a government and find a solution so that the successors of this government, which i am sure will simply fall apart because they are no longer control their power structures, this is done by russia, and they are only on russian bayonets and lukashenko on the russian states, how do you pronounce it, he is working there now, that is, that is why we need their uh,

legitimate such a position in order for them to prepare for the further development of belarusians in the future, i will say that it is really official we will not be able not to react in the event of such a statement, not only by lukashenko, he has now signed a negotiation, but the paradox is that he is no longer legitimate from the point of view of law, and it turns out that well, de facto, he can to sign all the orders, but how it will be carried out and to what extent we will see. i am still serious about the fact that part of the belarusian army has issued orders and some of them are already writing statements not agreeing to take part in russia's war of aggression, which are not has nothing to do with their interests, there are also statements, but what will happen next well, it is obvious that they are

repeating the fate of those who entered in the first wave . vision of international law, belarus is already involved in a war because rocket launchers and airplanes are constantly taking off from its territory. that is, all territories are occupied by subversive groups. well, in principle, some belarusians are fighting in the same russian subversive groups, initially from the 24th they were involved but not how not how official just hire mercenaries and now it can change because it is clear what will be the consequence for those who decide on it, well, it will be left to the ukrainian land, which i would not like , that is why, in principle, they still have many of them have the opportunity to make a well- considered decision, so the president of ukraine volodymyr

zelenskyi is correct, i think he is addressing the belarusian people, although i am optimistic about the match because a very large part of belarusians who left precisely on democratic grounds. well, i also point out that starting in 2020 we watched how, despite the difficult history of the last 20 years, when mr. lukashenko was in power. he is not even 20. on the 25th or 27th, we saw protests in belarus and how these protests were collapsed, but still they lasted there for three months. if i am not mistaken, until november 2020 , starting from august, uh. can we count on the fact that lukashenka's trip to ukraine if this happens, it seems that the probability is quite high, considering

that that on june 2, lukashenko announced that we apparently shelled some positions there in belarus, if this happens again, then he will strike even there, as he said, on people sitting in palaces, obviously hinting at hmm, our state leadership, is it possible so what happens is that this war that lukashenko will enter into is already official that it can speed up the fall of the lukashenko regime, well , first of all, lukashenko himself will not go anywhere, he is not that stupid. everything can be said about him, but he is definitely not stupid, that's why he can enter only together with putin and under the conditions when he will see that the order will be carried out in some way, and so he can well, just provide us with additional equipment, which we need after what we

need today, this can be such a plan. this is how i am being ironic, but it can happen, but he will do it only on the order of putin, although his personal responsibility should not be reduced from this, it is clear that he is cornered and trying to howl to the last, he now declares that they yes, he recognizes it, and he needed the international confirmation that he is doing it, he gives such orders, but when that's why he's on the defensive, now he's on the defensive so that the russian army doesn't get in the way of the flank. he invented this story from brest to gomel. he 's taking turns . forces and attention well, but at least this is the historical beginning, we will preserve the possibility of developing relations between the belarusian and ukrainian

people. that is, then this is a scenario that in principle will be optimistic. although i will tell you . under the conditions, how was it not difficult, and in minsk, the protests will be violently dispersed, but the belarusians may simply lose their statehood and sovereignty now that lukashenko somehow restrained belarus with his personal desires to become a dictator now it can collapse, so it would be worthwhile now to show maximum activity, like us, and prepare for such actions, and not from the other side, i understand the degree of provocation, because putin needs to involve belarus in order to show that this is not only his war against ukraine, but that it is a global one confrontation, and it opposes nato , that is, belarus is also on the border with nato

, because formal russia and borders there with the baltic countries, there are no borders, so it seems to me that this is due to the desire to raise the stakes and draw the blow away from itself, well, so that the blow came all over belarus, so it is clear that as soon as it is officially announced and the belarusian armed forces participate in us, it is not that there will be a legitimate right to strike, as lukashenko lists the targets for them, they list them for the ukrainian e the armed forces, i.e. the free ones, were listed in their entirety, and we will have to do it. this is what putin wants to drag him into this and get a further confrontation between the two peoples. lukashenka and putin

it is obviously about the fact that putin is trying to turn belarus into a bridgehead into a military base, a large military base for the russian federation, because the transfer of iskanders to the border with western europe and the promise to transfer warheads capable of carrying nuclear weapons and much, much more the promises given to lukashenko by putin indicate that putin will use belarus, including in the confrontation with lithuania. now we are watching how the russian federation and lithuania are trying, let's say , to conduct a discussion at the world level as to whether it is necessary to allow russian goods to kaliningrad, which uh is divided uh between which is between lithuania and the large mainland part of the russian

federation, how do you assess the prospects that russia can implement its threats because they are publicly talking about what we will show the lithuanians as well and in general, to all the inhabitants of the baltics, what is russia and everyone will soon see for themselves that russia knows how to protect its interests, what does this mean for lithuania? i think that this is a brave people and a correct policy that is not built i wish you success and i think that we are together letters against all of us, threats against nato countries are not the same as against ukraine, it was said unequivocally by all the leaders and secretaries general of nato, just mess up, just an inch of land, you will get a full response from all countries on that, they are not going anywhere the russians will climb,

this bunker will not dare to go there, because he is afraid to provoke, so as to raise the stakes sharply with the hands of belarus and then, as it were, immediately agree not with ukraine, but with nato, with the whole world, who do not want this on an equal footing that's why i don't rule out this desire and provocation from putin, obviously by the hands of the belarusians, but lukashenko already felt where this was going, he already said several times that we will not break through the suvalsky corridor with any means... i told you , that is, he already understood that they want you from him from a military point of view, it has been prepared for a long time. everyone understands where the strikes can be directed, and now nato’s decision to strengthen the e the baltic sea is also losing its

opportunities when finland and sweden have already submitted an application to nato and they are still cooperating with the military structures of nato, but now it will become a joint action because they were no longer given guarantees for this period of joining us, i.e. if it is an attack there on finland , then it will also be necessary to respond to such a situation, they will not climb there, they will be afraid to provoke a collision formally, they will be some kind of quick er raising of rates will be maximum er and then immediately russia offers to establish peace and fix the situation at the moment, and i do not want to enter victory not with ukraine, but with the sign of the united states. there may be such scenarios, but there will be no victory for russia in that direction. friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our sites on youtube and in

on facebook, if you see us live now, please like this video so that it can be promoted in the trends of youtube and facebook, subscribe to our pages in social networks, read our news on the espresso tv website by valeriu last week took place in the madrid of the north atlantic alliance, it is clear that a lot was said about ukraine and, in fact , finland and sweden also received approval to join nato, and then the parliaments of nato member countries must ratify this agreement. and why do you think the ukrainian side did not submit any applications. well, at least for obtaining a state-of-the-art, well , there is an explanation for this, it sounds.

our path enshrined in the constitution, but today we believe that this is not realistic, and therefore we will consider scenario b - this is to earn security guarantees through other mechanisms. i believe that this is, well, the position that must be adjusted must be clearly emphasized that our key priority, taking into account the fact that it is difficult that it is difficult that it is not the readiness of the nato countries, but still, and this way the party guarantees the article of mechanical engineering after the deoccupation of ukraine from russian troops, we will have no other option than to immediately submit an application for all performed at once and the other, i do not see a realistic scenario for nato, then they weigh one weight and at the same time the situation that it is

further sold to them to value the inclusion of ukraine on our other possibilities of cutting off russia and joint action in ensuring the security of europe, and i believe that at that moment it is precisely the position of less costs that should prevail if ukraine within the alliances is reasonable, it leaves opportunities for further warriors, therefore our position today should be such a key line - this membership is enshrined in the constitution of ukraine and supported by the ukrainian the people and the government, the opposition should say this in parallel, take realistic steps in conditions when there is no real political solution yet, but bring this political solution closer, just as efforts were concentrated on european integration, which at first turned out to be completely

expected, and we said many times there that it is impossible without a visa, later the association agreement, parallel process, they also said that it was all difficult. russia intimidated and as soon as you sign the agreement , all of you will then be simply installments and then candidate status. that is, it is also not it was seen as legal, so i think it is necessary to act in the same way, what today is not realistic, tomorrow may be the only possible option, mr. valery. explain to our tv viewers and to me why russia, which bet on the fact that ukraine will never join nato, and this was the main goal of the so-called special military operation and in between russia's big war against ukraine. why is that so? moscow is quite simply now commenting on the possible

joining of nato in finland and sweden. accepts the right of finland and sweden to join nato and is so categorically against our membership in the north atlantic valence. well, if you hear their explanation, it’s all very simple. it’s just that when they seized the territory of ukraine on a snake, they usually said that it was their ideologues there this is a sacred place without it, now russia will rule its island of change, captured, then they took them there , pumped them out there, and they told the good will is so voluntary, that is, russia respects force and in case they face with the same force, they simply explain to their people that it is they who are so good. that's how

they explained finland. oh, well , our border with nato will double. we said there that on the border in 1997, well, it didn't work. so now the border with finland will be twice as important to the former neutral. well, how to explain. if you can't do anything about it, it's all useless because ukraine, the war in ukraine is taking all your resources and you can't answer now, we actually covered it now with our own war opportunities finland sweden to join nato painlessly, in fact, and we will someday have such a moment and for which we must prepare, therefore russia will never say as it really is, this is one reason, the other, of course, is the understanding that er, well, ukraine, from the point of view of putin, it will be all- anyway, how does he think of taking full control of moscow? he is still

trying to make every effort in this direction, and there he has already resigned, and maybe there are chances from me, so in principle, only the ability of one or another country to protect its interests is what stops or shapes their position. others the arguments are there, the common border, the approach of the infrastructure, everything is already gone because they simply failed, and they failed because the threats no longer work for them and they can only do it where they already have opportunities . they will, er, put pressure on everyone to show their strength, well, you know it's like gopnyk, if against him the force immediately stops or hits weaker well, while we have such a situation , we must add st. petersburg's gopnyk, then it will be

just a complete portrait of the person who is now trying to blackmail the whole world well, of course, the question is quite relevant, which is constantly asked by everyone, when the war will end . today, the head of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine, kyrylo budanov, tried to answer this question. he gave an interview to the rbc of ukraine and told how and when the war is over, let's listen to the year. let's say that the state in which active hostilities will decrease enough will decrease enough, but it won't be the end, you have to understand what i'm saying. well, this is a way out, but it can happen in 1991, this will be the end of this whole adventure. what did russia do? when can it happen, what will it take next year, i think so, that is, kyrylo bohdana says that next year we can

go to the borders of 1991, here is the question is the world ready to support ukraine in order for ukraine to enter the borders of 1991 in a fairly short period of time, and why am i asking about this, because of course it is armaments, it is of course finances, it is of course military aid that is greater than what we have now, how is the world prepared you talk to the diplomats of different countries, what do they say about what is happening in our country and about the prospects for the end of the war, now there are two lines, one conditional can be called the line of peace, and the second - the line of justice, the line of peace - this is uh, the pope said he would go in moscow, in the mountains with putin, some tira or the secretary of the un secretary general will try to achieve something
