there is no need to have a constructive conversation about some kind of even imaginary diplomatic negotiations, if everything is more or less clear with grain, that is, there is an agreement, and russia promises to fulfill this agreement in the event that ukraine will fulfill it . everything was simple and clear, at least until the last days, until gazprom began to reduce the volume of gas supplies in the northern stream, but literally today it is up to 33 million cubic meters per day or up to 20% of the capacity and in in principle, the russians are already starting to blackmail europe even before the onset of cold weather and the period when the consumption of russian gas in europe increases many times. sergey lavrov explains the current situation and

the stoppage of the turbine on the gas pipeline north stream 1 this is how we will listen to the stopped noise. the machine must put one more pumping turbine for service. injector address of gazprom well, i have a very simple question if there is a regulation that ensures the safety of the functioning of the gas pipeline to us that calls for this regulation to be violated how does the representative of germany in particular do it ? er, he is not talking, but lying, and this is clear in my opinion to

the whole world. do you think that the internal situation in european states will allow them to er significantly reduce the supply and consumption of russian gas? in the future, it is easy to abandon it because , er, the fact that the entire european continent is sitting on the gas needle of gazprom is becoming more and more obvious. i think that in principle, this is obviously the process that europe will follow, despite the fact that probably it should be recognized that not all countries are members of the european union here have an unequivocal position on this issue, but if you look at yesterday's decision that was literally reached regarding the fact that by the end of this year there should be a 15% reduction in gas consumption by eu countries well, it is voluntary let's say so but all the same, it is hoped that it will be implemented by

at least the majority of the eeu countries, this proves that, in addition, i have even already observed and read the situation that some countries are even considering scenarios, for example, even in germany, in some countries, the disconnection of the hotline water in public buildings there and so on, where is it used, gas is heated, that is, what programs are they really like, in addition, i want to draw your attention to the fact that in these 5 months, as long as the full-scale military invasion of russia into ukraine, the european union and individual countries have carried out certain the steps are such as, for example, a visit well, we will take germany, because germany did the most activities, it is clear why i think it is not worth explaining, because they are one of the largest consumers of russian gas, just like the nord stream gas pipeline, and consumption in general - this explains it like this

germany, if you look at the trips and agreements that were made by government officials, you can see that it was also qatar, where they agreed on liquefied gas, the momentum of this country was senegal , where this agreement was also discussed. by the united states on the supply of states, these are agreements with norway on increasing deposits and supplies from there, that is, there are certain movements in this sense, but it is obvious that algeria also had trips, and secretary of state blinking went there in order to increase the supply of gas from spain to italy from there, that is, the movements are certain in order to reduce dependence on dispersion, they are another issue

is that they will not be fast. refusal of russian gas completely in full volumes by 2030, that is, practically, it is still 8 years long. well, i think that this is a normal long period. and maybe it should be done sooner, but we should also perfectly understand that in europe, far from all europeans have an unequivocal position on this issue, but all the same , what about this reduction in russian gas consumption will happen, i think that this is the case with coal if we look at it. i looked at statistical data on the volume of purchases of russian gas coal, what was agreed upon and sanctions imposed by the eu countries, also give up russian coal, they are decreasing, now it is purchased in kazakhstan , the volume of purchases in kazakhstan has increased, and the situation

regarding oil is also changing. but taking into account the fact that even in europe there are already calls from some politicians that it is possible for this period of time to retreat from certain obligations to combat climate change and to thaw and to use nuclear power plants or coal-fired power plants for heat , which are available, indicates that there is a certain planning and understanding that russia must include blackmail and you must be ready for this blackmail, and they, i think, must be included. i think that no one has there is no doubt that they can act differently. perhaps that is why the former federal chancellor of germany gerhard schroeder is in moscow these days, because there was information that he went there to negotiate pro-russian gas for german entrepreneurs, then there was information that he is spending a vacation there. well, i don't think that moscow is the best

place for a vacation for the retired chancellor of germany, gerhard. broaderization is absolutely obvious at the same time. that britain is introducing new sanctions against russia, let's see and hear today it became known that britain expanded the sanctions list against russia, 60 people were added to the organization - this the right trend, i am grateful to britain for the unchanging firmness of sanctions issues, this is an example that should be followed by everyone else in the western world, in particular, today's announcement about another provoked increase in gas prices on the european stock exchange above two thousand dollars per 1,000

cubic meters is already a sufficient reason to expand sanctions against russia, because for it is clear to everyone that this is russia's deliberate price terror against europe using gazprom. moscow is doing everything to make this winter the toughest for european countries . terror must be answered. respond to sanctions. this is the position of volodymyr zelenskyi, oleksandr, when russia raises prices or, let's say, artificially creates a shortage of gas in europe, provoking an increase in gas prices , putin's main goal was and remains ukraine when gazprom talks about some kind of repair of the nord stream there lavrov is also trying to explain to

the world what the russian federation wants. that is, it is gas blackmail, it is also an element of russia's war against ukraine. russia wants to lift the sanctions. russia wants to europe and the world agreed to the redistribution that putin now wants to make on the territory of the ukrainian state. what is the purpose of this blackmail? i think that it is, first of all, gas - it is a tool, one of the main ones, because today it is necessary to understand that putin as a source even from the soviet special services, he was well acquainted with this agency, which , through the comintern and the socintern, worked under various devices that were more ideological at the time with european politicians and established connections. i think that he extrapolated this principle to gas after his

coming to power and we see that he tried to either corrupt the representatives of some western elites, or, let's say, to appease them by promising cheap gas and economic growth, or to scare them with the fact that there will be an increase in gas prices and there will be non-transfers, the voters will then not vote for them, that is, in fact, these are serious tools e-e unfortunately , europe watched this for quite a long time in silence and passively, everyone was fine because there was gas, the price was sufficient, in principle, everything was normal. tried to buy and give some position to some of the supervisory boards because of high salaries and generators, now they are already starting to see things and see that they still have business but of course that this element of influence russia will use, their ultimate goal in

this i think it consists for the first time in the fragmentation of the european union in the fact that you will deepen the consensus that exists there with regard to ukraine, in particular, with regard to sanctions against russia, and we see orbán's statements, which, it seems to me, are not even trying to hide those things that i just spoke about and actually are now an agent of russia's influence in the eu, when he will make statements about the sanctions that should be lifted from russia and about the exclusion of oil for hungary and many other things. and what about these statements that are happening now, so i think that the first calculation on this, by the way, is what he is trying to do now the russian special services are active, they act in different ways, you can also see on other examples when such resignations take place, and the premiers of italy, dear ones, which i want to remind you, he was one of the architects of european sanctions against

russia than tough sanctions, and of course who is there what i didn't say, but the fact that this is happening just like that and is exclusively an internal political matter of italy . well, it is possible, but somehow it all coincides with the gas blackmail and other moments, so i do not really believe in it, and therefore to shake the unity of the eu, the issue of sanctions supporting ukraine is a time and secondly , support by the voters of governments that are, that is, cause internal political crises of democracy , they are sensitive to this, it is clear from italy, which we mentioned in this example, that is, to demonstrate everything in such a way that it is in in principle, the sanctions do not harm russia, it seems, but they harm the eu countries themselves and the europeans will suffer more . russia is trying to distort everything like this and one more point. putin is constantly looking for ways to be reckoned

with. to the negotiating table and the issue of gas is almost the only argument. well, sometimes they include blackmail with nuclear weapons, threats that they will strike there, and so on . they are simply absent, there is nothing he is trying to include. in this way, still keeping at least some thread somewhere. when they talk to him about something, because the trends that are now starting to take shape. of russia as a state sponsor of terrorism on the recognition of russia as a state that commits the genocide of the ukrainian people and many other initiatives that will simply lead to even greater international isolation when the eu is

headed by a terrorist group that commits genocide, no one wants to talk. and that's why they are now quite actively using these, let's say, methods in order to at least go to some negotiations, to promote narratives about the need to agree on gas and another narrative. i'm almost sure which one they want to work on - it's about what it is necessary to put pressure on ukraine on the ukrainian authorities so that the resistance stops and some conversations about the transition begin using all the means that they have, absolutely, using money, buying someone, using special services, intimidating , using their agents, which they have formed over the years, in particular in the west and in the eu countries

. they have some opportunities to convey this information, that is, all this is now quite actively and extremely powerfully used by russia, and therefore ukrainians also need to work quite actively in the ukrainian government in order to interrupt all this and in order to insist precisely on the promotion of our position on supporting ukraine and on the need to recognize russia as a state that commits genocide, supports terrorism mr. oleksandr, let's return to the internal affairs of the russian federation, or rather to of the situation they have in the russian armed forces, it is clear that 40,000 people have already died in russia and russians on the territory of the ukrainian state. during this war , probably 120 or 130,000 were wounded and yet

they hope to recruit some representatives of criminal circles, uh, some prisoners who are currently sitting there in correctional colonies and in prisons, uh, a mercenary from russia survived the war in ukraine for two weeks, he calls himself a veteran of hostilities, fought in dagestan, says that this is a war of another generation, let's see when popasnoe, let’s go further, wow, that’s what the war said to the second, and the production

itself managed to pay for the money, that is, basically, so that everything is there. trust is possible, so it will be very much. they expected a real full-scale war well , obviously those who are going to go to ukraine from the russian federation do not expect that. do you have a sense of when the turning point may come for russian society when they realize that the war is killing them really hard and not just because we we see, do you understand, er, russia with its politics and historical context, as well as with what was happening, that vinnism is

the imperial supremacy, er, massed propaganda, and achieved the fact that, in principle, there really is a lot there er russians share their ideas about what is happening, it is not simple, this is how someone in the west tries to present it, you know quite often, that the russians are not guilty of anything, putin is to blame for ruling his regime, the kremlin , so on and so forth, putin is definitely guilty, but they voted for putin people legitimize him, he is supported by people who, er, have this hatred , who have grown the seeds of this hatred in themselves and support the conduct of this war, therefore not only putin, but also russian society, and people are responsible for this, of course, there today certain such sprouts appear if you track in what sense exactly in those regions from which the military was most involved in the introduction of the war against ukraine, these are the republics of the caucasus, this is

yakutia, this is buryatia, and this is a miracle, these are other republics, which, in principle, considering them in such an unsatisfactory socio-economic condition, there was a lot going on, they signed a contract and now they are starting to mature, i won't say that they are all maturing exclusively for this purpose, that they have corrected themselves somewhere and understood that they are fighting against the ukrainians and killing innocent people is bad. no , they are not because, firstly, a lot of people die, they get wounded, secondly, they are dissatisfied with the fact that they do not receive the compensation that was promised to them, and thirdly, they are dissatisfied with the current security and level of weapons they receive for conducting hostilities, there are a number of reasons. today, if you look and listen to what the ukrainian security service or the main intelligence directorate of the

ministry of defense teaches from intercepted audio conversations, you can hear that there are a lot of complaints about the fact that is happening in the russian military, and there is a second moment, but i have highlighted it quite clearly, this is the moment when most of all, when they ask what hopes there are, there are rarely hopes, then there are hopes, then we will go to odesa. the rotation will take us out, we are looking forward to it, that is, these processes have already been started somewhere, and also the cases of desertion are beginning to increase, they are being actively hidden, but it is visible and reported by ukrainian intelligence, it is visible among russian units, that is, something began to change under the pressure of those circumstances and changes. but of course, that critical moment must come when it will

begin . until the reduction of russia's aggressive activity, these processes are simply not yet so visible and not yet so active as to really give rise to this architecture, but they are emerging that it is already possible to single out one more element that can to shake this architecture is the future participation or non -participation of the armed forces of the republic of belarus in the russo-ukrainian war i mean in a full-scale war because one way or another belarus is participating in this war it provides airfields to the russian occupiers this morning there was air alert due to the fact that in the sky of belarus there were fighter jets of the russian federation. lukashenko , the self-proclaimed president of belarus, was flying near our border. he is meeting with his ministers and preparing a military unit

this is, for example, how he talked with the head of the state inspectorate for the protection of animal and plant life under the president of belarus, yuriy tertel . to create a good military unit, after all, there are thousands of people who serve there, they love rescuers, that you are marked by very well-trained, smart guys, and we agreed that uh, over the course of a few days, but in principle, this the question will already be solved, eh, we will have several thousand there in case of prepared fighters. well , the whole inspection should become your spouse, and god forbid. therefore,

this factor should also be taken into account, especially since the individual will be armed. it is necessary to always have a peacekeeping plan at hand , because the guys need to be taught. this is not just to take a rifle and go to the front. people need to be taught when . быть к этому году well, you need to learn how to manage this army. that's right, mr. oleksandr, we don't have much time left until the end of the broadcast, just a few minutes. what can we expect from belarus? well, you know, we've seen it again, this is one of the examples of this great imitation that lukashenko is conducting, because it seems to me that this precisely because there are constant military exercises, constant decisions about the creation of a command, now about the fact that

forestry needs to be additionally armed, in fact there and many other things. and here are these formulations, think about them do there let's do there and so on... she says everything about the fact that belarus is constantly, as it were, in preparation for entering the war and at the same time... that he loves ukraine so much or does he support ukrainians? he is afraid for the political future. he is afraid that the army may turn against him together with the opposition in the event of a decision and then no one will save him, so he will wait for a different aspect than russia and putin it is quite important now to use this irritant to increase a certain escalation of provocations not just against ukraine but against the eu, and this role is also ready for belarus, but today

some offensive group of troops of the belarusian army on the border with ukraine has not been created. thank you, mr. oleksandr. it was oleksandr musiyenko, director of the center for military and legal research. i wish you good health and all the best. i am with you, friends. i say goodbye. until tomorrow, until 1:00 p.m. tomorrow, oleksandr khara, a politician and a diplomat, will be visiting me. let's talk about ukraine. the world and russia and about how the world reacts to the blackmail of the russian federation. it was a verdict program brought by serhiy rudenko. goodbye. watch the espresso news and euroespresso programs for ukrainian refugees in europe on the air. america, the inclusion of

journalists from public television, bbc news ukraine and france 24, as well as the broadcast of the information marathon, the only news, together we are strong, glory to ukraine we continue to search 11-year-old danylo the coachman who disappeared in the temporarily occupied border region of the luhansk region. i have already told about the story of the disappearance of this boy, and at first almost nothing was known about his fate. and now we have learned very important details that suggest that everything is okay with this the main thing is that he is alive. at first, we only knew that danya was dead with her father and grandmother, and contact with them was cut off. at the beginning of march, we were approached by another grandmother who lives in in new york, he prays to god every day that a

real miracle would happen so that they would not find that they were alive. let them even be in russia, from there , even if it is possible to collect them. knew about the disappearance of his nephew, the man immediately decided to join the search and did everything possible to find out at least something about the fate of the data. we spoke with him on the phone and this is what he said. then i went to another woman who said that she said a third person who saw it, then i found out about this woman's relative from the mykolaiv region. well , the husband managed to make a tv circuit there. it would seem impossible as a result of painstaking searches. he did find out about a woman who reported that on june 21, danya, his father and grandmother, was seen by a person who lives in the same house, she said that they are

alive, they are listed in the shelters, she says that they are alive with them, that's fine, don't worry, but she doesn't give her phone number, that is, i know i'm just signing up, the woman wrote that danya is with her father and the grandmother allegedly still lives in a five-story house, the house survived, they hide in a shelter at night and go up to the apartment during the day, denmark's uncle above all wants to believe that this information is true, one says that until he sees a photo of his relatives, he will not stop their search for now information, it has not yet been fully confirmed, that is, when i saw that they were definitely found by a combination of photos and videos, that they are still alive, i would simply order that 100%. it is still necessary to check the rather encouraging information that was given to us by a grandmother who lives in in the united states and how he can try to help from there. in search of his grandson, he says that one day the father appeared on the internet and she

tried to call him. i don't know how many times i dialed 20-30 times, i don't remember anymore, and then i couldn't get in touch. well, there's no connection , i'm getting a message that there's no connection, and i'm asking everything every day. call, there's no connection , there's no connection. territories unfortunately, it is common for the russians to deliberately jam communications and to call the people who remained in the occupation is almost impossible. however, the grandmother and uncle do not lose hope in the end to get the boy out of occupied rubizhny and, above all, they want to make 100% sure that danya is alive. i am asking everyone who saw and heard something knows that they have seen my grandson

, a donation, please let me know about this in the editorial office, please let me know if someone saw someone heard, maybe someone knows that they are alive, make sure that they lived, even it is difficult to imagine what the boy's relatives are going through now, who on the one hand have received encouraging information, but on the other hand, they probably do not yet have the opportunity to make sure that everything is okay with this, so i am asking you very much and i am appealing, first of all, to the residents of occupied rubizhny, if you can see this program and have at least some information about danylo karetnyka, please contact our hotline at 116,000. calls to the child tracing service are free and you can call from any mobile operator. if you are on occupied territory, you have communication problems and you cannot succeed
