i'm mating and that's definitely the case. i think there are some personal ones, like an insect. some regulations to help stop this madness, madness , first of all, for the russians. well, there are wealthy people like him. let 's say, influential people like him. i'm not talking about the conspiracy theory, you were n't there, but what could he talk about, the seventh package of sanctions is so clear, but last week was rich and for all sorts of decisions, we'll also talk about rammstein a couple of words, the seventh package of sanctions, many people say that with each package uh, these restrictions are getting weaker, let's not mention this seventh package now. i'll just say two words that there are again addresses, no sanctions, the import of gold is prohibited, uh, and some other things, but if you compare it with the previous ones, it's really weaker in my opinion and i have another question for you: should we wait for the next packages? and if it is worth it , will they be constantly weaker? well, i think that

there are not many sanctions and definitely that we should work on expanding e-e and definitely block all these bypasses for russia actually this package was primarily aimed at making it impossible, let's say, so that russia somehow circumvents these sanctions, of course gold is very important, 15 billion dollars are also not lying on the roads, but without fashion, we have to work from your point of view you know, psychology is like that and patriotic, including that something is happening and there must be a certain reaction. for example, the russians signed an agreement with the un chickens regarding our grain, and it violated this agreement, of course, we have to say about it in order that somewhere else, it increases some of sanctions, and the most important and the other, of course, that the first and largest array has already been introduced

during these months. but the most important question is that those sanctions hurt russia, you know, literally. last week, several experts from yale university published such a thorough, thorough study regarding the impact of sanctions, i haven't read all of it yet, but only read a sample of it in forex in the magazine as it was made public, and there they debunk the myths of these russian myths that the sanctions are not such ah painful that eh actually russia can reorient itself to the east how from the point of view of imports and it consumes 20% of gdp goes to the import of various things primarily technological eh hmm that russia is not able and will not be able to fulfill here but also from the point of view of energy resources, that is, they say yes, we will sell, now they sell the same oil to the chinese and indians

at a crazy discount, and there it is somewhere around 35 dollars and above, so in fact it is a little more than the cost price, because i want to remind our viewers that russian russian oil is too expensive that is, the cost price is much higher than in the middle east, where it seems to me to be $3 or $5 per barrel, that's exactly why these sanctions work. they work, and unfortunately they don't work as fast as we would like, but it is definitely an increase in this pressure eh and eh with connected with those other things ot look at more than a thousand western companies in general world companies came out with the russian federation a-and somewhere 15%, eh for the total labor force not of the russian federation were connected with those campaigns it is approximately five e-e 5 million 100 mmm i apologize to e 5 million e-e jobs a-a that is, this is an important important

aspect, then it is definitely the escape from the russian federation of qualified people, primarily it specialists, managers there from other countries this means that it is already corrupt the economic system is inefficient, it is sinking, and that is precisely why even these sanctions, such as they are, undermine the russian federation , and again, let us remember that the 600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, and 1000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 . things are now being talked about quite actively, how to create such a legal mechanism so that this money goes to the reconstruction of ukraine, that's why i would like to see more sanctions, less oil purchases by the europeans, and they are strategically freeing themselves from this russian independence. we wanted it as quickly as you, and of course there are negatives about it, we should remember this

zemens turbine, when germany actually blackmailed its fan ally, canada, by saying that it would not supply ukraine. well, it will not help ukraine but they alluded to weapons, so that canada entered the sanctions, actually violated the sanctions , returned this turbine, well, the truth is, this does not mean that russian girls will be with gases in the winter, and they understand this very well. this is how they work with their population, how to save money, how to enter the cold land, mr. oleksandr, you said about germany, which gives us weapons, then says that it does not have these weapons, then scholtz comes out again and the minister of defense, as well he says that we give weapons. we made some plans there, we came up with some circular deliveries, then they come out and say that these circular deliveries do not work,

we need to look for some other options, why in germany now ? but they are afraid. well, you know, if you look at it from their point of view, there was a crazy progress and radical changes in germany's position and psychology in general, that is what happened after february 24 and germany began to supply us with offensive weapons. they canceled nord stream-2 and sholt announced about crazy crazy investments in the bundeswehr of 100 billion euros, and all these are really impressive things, i’m not talking about the fact that they are actually changing their approach to this so -called eastern policy. if before , russia was in the center of attention and it was possible to ignore not only ukraine, georgia, moldova, but actually one's allies, a fan. i mean poland, the baltic states, but now they are rebuilding such and such, but

on the other hand, you understand that the most inert thing is consciousness, and now mr. sholtu is glad this person also gave birth to you. the same person who gave birth in his time. he has a rose, and recently there was an interview and he said such a thing. you are not asking me when we will give ukraine weapons, but you are asking what kind of relations we will have with the russian federation. after of this war, and actually the fear of this third world war, the fear of escalation, or, let's say, to provoke russia. and he is in full support of these people, of course, they ca n't get rid of it quickly, they help us a lot in economic terms, of course they are the engine in that including those sanctioned, but security assistance , of course, that she is not the one who is limping, let's say this is a saga, she can already write about these uh-uh, that means cheetahs and there are other things or an

air defense system, but literally on this this week there was information that the government of ukraine has invited 10 or 11 of these air defense systems and is ready to buy even this . there was also the issue of financial assistance. that's how it is. for three weeks, only the chancellor ca n't sign to give the final approval. although all these interdepartmental agreements have already passed, so i think that it is actually such that there is no need to annoy russia. yes , russia should not win in ukraine, but he has never said anything that ukraine should win in that war, unfortunately. yes, and that is why we have such a very very strange politics, well, it really is. unfortunately, thank you, mr. oleksandr. thank you for your professional answers. thank you for helping me understand the issues that are sometimes difficult for me, sometimes

difficult for our viewers. on matters of foreign and security policy of the center for defense strategies, and i am ready to introduce my next guest right away, this is serhiy gerasimchuk, deputy executive director , director of the regional initiatives and neighborhood program, advisers on foreign policy, ukrainian prizma, mr. serhiy, greetings. good afternoon. nice to see you today. thank you for joining our neighbors talked a lot about our program, mr. serhiy, this week we will have it in four direct languages, and i want you to somehow try to comment on it, because you know this foreigner's special it's also a russian or belarusian head, it's hard to get in, but at least what can be extracted from them. let's first listen to the most recent statement - it's the minister of foreign affairs of

our north-east, to the great regret of our neighbor, sergey lavrov said yesterday while speaking at a meeting of the league of arab states, let's listen first then there will be a question for you, we are sorry for the ukrainian people who deserve much better , we are sorry for the ukrainian history that is being destroyed before our eyes, and we are sorry for those people who succumbed to the state the propaganda of the kyiv regime and its western sponsors, who are trying with all their might to make ukraine an eternal enemy of russia, but it will not be like that, the russian and ukrainian people will continue to live together. we will help the ukrainian people to get rid of the anti-people and even anti-historical regime again. shows how he is very friendly, how he knows her, here again, not only anti-people but even anti-historical regime, and this is what he said at the league of arab states

mr. sergey, please tell me, this is another threat from russia, which we must take very seriously. is this bravado aimed at the domestic consumer, and is it such an excuse from powerlessness? it seems to me that the external consumer has been directed at the so- called global cock, and russia is trying to demonstrate that from europe everything is clear and the europeans do not believe the europeans deny the russian statements. okay, let's work with another audience. in fact, after i praised these theses, i already saw valid comments to me it seems that the angel lavrov was a little late in time and in fact russia has already helped ukraine a lot to get rid of an anti-people regime, it was in 13-14 when they accepted president yanukovych, and as for other attempts to get rid of some regimes in ukraine it seems to me that this is purely for the audience, which is smaller

, united with the region, and purely for the audience, which at the same time needs to sell fables about the fact that it is because of ukraine, er, the global south, and maybe tomorrow, at the risk of hunger. what is it? because of the decision of ukraine, there is no supply of grain, there is no supply of products of the agro-industrial complex and from this audience, with these theses, lavrov is trying to work with the so-called global south and with the brics countries to at least preserve his ecological niche there and to at least promote these theses there, you say sell these bikes to the global south, in your opinion, the global south is ready to buy these bikes, and we have to admit that in principle, let's agree, we don't have many experts who know that region, and it's quite possible to assume symmetry, there are also few experts who know our region, and accordingly, if we do not strengthen

the work and diplomatic expertise in these areas , then there are chances for this, of course we have cheesy allies, the european union has repeatedly emphasized that this is wrong for ukraine, those problems with the supply of me you which arose, the european union supports us in every way, there is the united states, which also supports us, but we must also take into account that in the post-colonial world, in some places , the countries of e-e europe and the united states are not treated very well states of america and here and its russian laurel companies can also play on this feeling of a negative attitude towards the so-called golden billion, they are already exploiting this narrative with the purpose of showing that ukraine either has no subjectivity or is completely subordinated to these countries, the goal of the golden billion who are only enslaved to take money from the poor, and such populist theses, in principle,

could have an impact on a poorly educated or an averagely educated consumer of information in the region we are talking about well, it's a pity, ah. and they can really have such a thing. let's listen to another quote by sergei lavrov . he said this a few days earlier. and he said this already in moscow. well, let's first listen to the questions, so that there are no threats. our security of the military levels of the territory of ukraine a-a and this task remains now. you know, when there was a meeting of negotiators in istanbul. in 2022, the geography of the second country is not

only the dpr of the lpr, it is also the kherson region, the zaporozhye region, and a number of other territories, and this process is ongoing. well, i like what he said of the lnr . to the domestic consumer, is it more to ukraine, there may be some kind of threat, according to my feelings, so definitely , the domestic consumer must also be given some victories and demonstrate certain progress of russia and certain successes of russia and certainly the ambition of russia, however this is also aimed at our ukrainian consumers with the purpose of, frankly speaking, intimidation, or in order to sow anxiety in order to get motivated , because in fact we know that the armed forces of ukraine work and work effectively, including in those directions where russia would like to

establish its tricolor for a long time, but they are unable to do so, however, the russians continue to intimidate , continue to try to demotivate, and this part may well be part of a planned informational and psychological operation, the purpose of which is to actually sow panic, warnings, and anxiety in ukraine, the purpose of which is to raise questions for ukrainians about the expediency of continuing the struggle. although, as far as i'm concerned, moscow in moscow simply has not yet realized this direct association between the current ukraine and the ukraine of the 14- in the th year of the example of the maidan in russia, they did not realize that by their behavior they have already demonstrated that a-a for us it is just an existential challenge and an existential threat that what kind of negotiations can there be when you are offered to destroy you or right now or in time. when your positions will be

weaker, and of course, mr. serhii. and please tell me if we take these two statements, then we will listen to lukashenka. well, there is less to lukashenka, and we probably need to take these statements of his more seriously. although... anyway, he somehow articulates what he is told to hang around from moscow, so we will talk about them later, but considering these two statements by lavrov and the information that the russians have greatly accelerated the process of some of their desire to hold referendums on temporarily occupied territories in the kherson region and in the zaporizhia region, in those places where they now control, it may be somehow connected, lavrov says, they are responding to the fact that information appeared today from the stremous gauleiter of the kherson region that they want to hold this referendum on accession as soon as possible even joining russia is not just about

independence, but about even joining russia, this may be related to the statements coming from moscow. it seems to me that it is more related with the fact that russia is more convinced of the effectiveness of the crimean scenario in particular, and it is said that when russia annexed crimea, it carried out this annexation attempt, when russia declared crimea its territory, then, working for a long time with our western partners, russia achieved that in essence the crimean issue for a long time it was generally out of context er and many de facto admitted that what they said the success of the crimean strategy is the fact that, in fact, there were no strikes on crimea by the

ukrainian side, in contrast to our counteroffensive attempts in the sometimes successful east of the country in donetsk region and luhansk region, so russia definitely wants to use this the trump card and just as she is doing it with crimea, we remember medvedev's drunken statements about the fact that an attack on crimea will be an excuse for doomsday, this is the same excuse they want to pull on the ears of the territory that they are now trying to control so that to make them not subject to bargaining, but conditionally speaking, the territory to which they would have extended their sovereignty, tried to extend it, and the territories that they called e-e immune with territories with immunity for any ukrainian, because these will no longer be so-called people's republics, but sovereign the territory of the russian federation, however, to a large extent

, there is also an element of bluff here. and we also have to take this into account, and taking into account the fact that in the territories currently occupied by russia, which russia is trying to hold, there is quite serious resistance and not only from the side of the armed forces of ukraine, but also from the side of local activists who are trying to oppose russia's establishment of the russian system there, so despite russia's statement, all this is still very uncertain and the chances of ukraine to preserve or restore its sovereignty over these territories and the constitutional order over these territories remain quite high in my opinion, well, we will restore and i hope very quickly we will restore, obviously with the help of the armed forces of ukraine, our brave soldiers eh, look, let's listen to the first quote that i proposed today announced will offer us to listen to the self-proclaimed president of belarus, oleksandr

lukashenko. well, then the question: why did four divisions deploy to the border ? the russians attacked with their missiles, i think iskander, and i don’t remember in order to protect their units, and then they introduced 20,000 of their troops from the territory of belarus, which were on the scientists’ side. this is the eastern district, not even the western district. he is from irkutsk and the far eastern armed forces were there, and they wanted to introduce them there, that’s why they are from our territory, but this does not mean that i am justifying myself, i support russia in that they warned you, if the russian military blinked at

this moment, they are forced we would have met a massive gift from nato troops, not in ukraine, not in ukraine , now, not in ukraine, they are fighting now, you are fighting there, your mercenaries and your weapons. yes, you are even more of an aggressor than me, well, you are all the same, let’s start with the same principles and criteria. больше агресори натовцы чем в белорусь, that's how he manages to do this, he tells about how they were going to attack on the territory of belarus, here he's already telling the russians how on the territory of russia, eh, the evil west was going to attack eh, tell me, please, mr. serhiy, where in lukashenka has such a reserve of strength such nonsense constantly talk drive to i apologize no lukashenka lukashenko to putin drive to putin return again nonsense talk and at the same time well then stay afloat well well first of all i miss that

lukashenko really liked becoming a generator of memes in the internet space, and a person simply enjoys the fact that he became popular not only among facebook kirill, but also among those who talk . in this case, it is aimed at the russian consumer and, to a certain extent, at the western consumer, for the russian consumer these theses were prepared that an attack was being prepared, shelling was being prepared. and this is for the western consumer and lukashenko and lavrov and himself putin constantly broadcasts the same message , and this was even before february 24. the united states and russia should sit down at the negotiating table, and it is at this level that they should resolve the issue

, including the ukrainian one. the division of the world according to some new model according to some model of the yalta treaty in a new way, but with their inability to keep even banal promises and their inability to fulfill international obligations, the russians finally convinced me the whole civilized world is that it is completely unacceptable to negotiate with them, even while making significant concessions, because mr. serhiy does not have to wait for the implementation of these agreements, one more question. they call the republic that its formation wants to hold a referendum on independence and with subsequent inclusion in the russian federation a-a but before that statement, we should

to be treated with a certain degree of caution or to simply listen and forget, over 90% of us voted in 96 or 98 for independence for joining nato. that is, this is a very old record that was simply played by the next and so-called minister of the so -called ministry of transnistria, they always talked about that what they want wants to join the russian federation. they have always said that they are basically independent, so we can even talk about a certain rollback, because now transnistria is demanding independence, while er zasmirnova and under shevchuk they proudly called themselves independent er this this statement well, it is very difficult for me to imagine the possibility of its implementation, taking into account that in transnistria, first of all, not all er are ready for such a format, but in transnistria there are

business groups, in particular sheriff, in groups that are interested in keeping the situation as it is, or it allows you to earn money, to a lesser extent , from smuggling . -e prospects for e-e movement in this direction it may have happened in russia, there are hotheads who would be interested in trying the formula from alya kaliningrad, but one way or another, kaliningrad is the kareningrad region recognized by the new international community as part of the russian federation. and here, even if the state duma votes to recognize the independence of transnistria, this situation will not fundamentally change there is no common border with the group of troops that is currently in transnistria, where it is difficult to achieve any change in cardinal status, so no, i see no reason

to take this too seriously, so be it, sir sergey, thank you, thank you for joining me today in the program. this was serhiy gerasimchuk , deputy executive director of the regional initiatives and neighborhood program of the foreign policy council of the ukrainian ukrainian prism. well, that's it, due to lack of time, i have to finish today's program. they talked about the world, they talked about ukraine as i will remind the civilized part of this world that the next time we will meet next monday at 12 and 13 on the espresso broadcast or on social networks and on youtube if you are watching or watched yours in like youtube, if you didn't like it, dislike something. write to us, it will not only be nice, but in this way you will spread our program on the youtube network. well, that's all i say goodbye to you. my name is yuriy fizer. see you soon. poltava vorskla has taken the first step to the league's group tournament . of the conference, a 3:2 victory over the swedish aik brought the ukrainians closer to
