ah, hmm, it was not possible to work in a safe mode, and the third question, in my opinion, is who controls the physical protection of this important, largest nuclear power plant in europe. yes, who allows access to the power plant. mr. money, and there are statements from our first leaders who say that it is really necessary to carry out this mission and open the eyes of the world to what is happening in the zaporizhzhia region. please tell me that this is even a political issue if we now imagine representatives of megate coming to the zaporizhzhia npp, we can even theoretically assume that the russian forces there will even prepare for this visit and

take away everything superfluous, for example, and make order there, and representatives of megate come there and for all these issues that you have just voiced they give a positive assessment there, for example, that everything is fine there, there is no nuclear danger. well, to what extent will this play in favor of ukraine, because russia can also use it later and say well, you see even mega guaranteed that it is good for us, do n't you see such a risk here, i see this risk , yes, it really is, it is a very good question, but we as states, on our part, must first control and try to control the composition of the inspection, which will be hidden or it is possible to go to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and also try to form a coalition of countries that

understand the risks and that use atomic energy in the world. we are not the only ones that have used it. also has such a complex example of the use of nuclear energy as the accident at fukushima in 2011 is france, which is the largest country in europe that produces electrical energy. we must build a coalition and put pressure on the russian federation and control the report or the report that will be prepared by the international agency for atomic energy and the report should, first of all, open the eyes of the world to what is really happening there, despite the fakes that the russian federation throws into the information space, and secondly, this report

should play in favor of ukraine and not in favor of the russian federation and this should be done while we have another news from the president of energoatom petro kotin announced that russia has started implementing a plan to connect the zaporizhzhia power station to the russian power system and disconnect it from the ukrainian power system, what risks do you see here well , in addition to the fact that they can take away ukrainian energy resources there, is there any risk that they will turn off this station there and switch to other capacities there is a zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, but today it is a replacement power plant. well, according to official information, it is located in the energy system of ukraine on one high-voltage power line of 750 kw. therefore, it is a big risk to leave the plant without

external power, which is needed for the cooling system and this system, which is needed for cooling systems and for systems important for safety that must work constantly 24/7 at the station, therefore, from my side, the risks of a non-standard situation at the station are increasing, well, every day and as possible as it is possible to predict when there even by video links of foreign media and we can see how heavy equipment and ammunition are being brought into the interrooms of the first and second energy blocking another one allow me to ask a question now there was news that russia is temporary well so far they say that it is temporary nuclear facilities under inspection

by the united states under the treaty on the reduction of strategic offensive weapons yes please tell me what this means in practice and how dangerous it is for me as it is more of a military issue yes i am an expert in the field of civilian use of nuclear energy. but this reminds me of the case when , er, there was a case with the 108th rotation, when everyone recorded when there were some exams in the russian federation and they turned off the sensors for monitoring the non -proliferation of nuclear weapons. therefore, it must be something they are hiding, thank you very much, it is clear, this is about weapons, it is not er, yes, no, i mean that this question concerns nuclear weapons, not civilian nuclear use, thank you very much for your comment, er,

hryhoriy klochkov, head of the state inspection of ukraine's nuclear regulation was on radio svoboda in 17-21. russian forces destroyed a private medical laboratory in kharkiv. russian troops fired a rocket into the city at 2:00 am today. was damaged by the blast wave and we show the consequences below: a 9.6 m drill bit and part of the link is directed towards the wall of the building number 6/14 along the street in the direction of 250°. fragments were found of ammunition were excavated partly from the ground and partly lying on the surface, i don't know what kind of building, the

walls are cracked, the ceilings are scattered, all the equipment is there. you see, everything here is old, we had it, even they could not have laboratory workers contact each other, this is a pcr laboratory, if it is cold and a refrigerator, there is probably nothing to go with it to stop russia in its desire to seize ukrainian territories, western countries have

to ban the entry of all ukrainian citizens this statement was made by volodymyr zelenskyi in an interview for washington, according to him, er, i am quoting the most important sanctions - this is the closing of the borders because the russians are seizing other people's land. zelenskyi added that russian citizens should, i quote again, live in their until they change their philosophy, as the washington post rightly points out, this idea has many critics, who claim that it is unfair because it will also affect those people who left russia, in particular, because of disagreement with politics in an interview with putin, zelenskyi said that it has no meaning. zelenskyi's statement is not the only such statement. for example , the prime minister of estonia, who called for a halt to the issuance of tourist visas to russians for trips to the european union. she said that visiting europe is a privilege. it is not a human right. you stressed that air travel with russia is currently closed, which means that while the schengen countries

issue visas to tourists from russia, finland, estonia, and latvia accept them. the prime minister of finland, sanna marin, also made a statement and said that it is wrong when, at a time when russia is waging an aggressive war in europe, russians can travel to europe. will submit a proposal for consideration by the eu to prohibit the issuance of tourist visas to citizens of russia within the next week well, i will remind you that estonia itself has not issued tourist visas to citizens of russia since the spring, what can be the answer of the eu, we will talk further with us on the connection of five in the dish time is a member of the european parliament from lithuania. hello, good evening. honestly, this is how realistic it is that the european union will really come to a single consensus to a single decision and stop

issuing visas to citizens of russia. - for the russians, that is, yes, there are tourist visas for which i think that it is necessary to make a decision and limit as much as possible or stop issuing tourist visas because you yourself understand and now it is not time for festivals for shopping, and there is a real aggressive war against ukraine, and everything is clear to me here. open and these opponents of putin's regime. they should have free exit and we should give them a-a. as they say,

uh , issue these visas. i think he would have been very sharp, but hey the correct signal to the russians now in the european union . i think that all countries understand it equally, this will probably be a long discussion , so the questions are because some people will hold the opinion that this is a visa and how would we show europe to the russians and so on, but here my argument , you know, is very simple, they have been discriminating in europe for many years. well, somehow they have not become more europeans, so my answer to these countries would be the same, but i will move such countries that there will be a few - it can be and depend on it such tourism as well as uh they see uh some political dividem how they will say such a hungary yes i think that he is not so it is quick and easy according to this

decision but the discussion needs to be started and then we will see again who is speaking and who is doing specific things well finland, estonia and latvia. well, estonia aside, they have already stopped issuing tourist visas in the spring, that's when the politicians of latvia complain that since air traffic is closed, russian citizens come to these border countries with russia as tourists. no, that does not prevent finland and latvia from taking such a decision and follow the example of estonia and stop issuing tourist visas, or still, it is necessary to somehow coordinate with brussels, they are issued , as countries say, but they also operate on the territory of other countries they can travel to other eu countries with these visas. of course, this is an individual decision, and by the way, lithuania has practically stopped issuing these

visas. it is impossible to get visas. in principle, the gender is closed. yes, we don't have an ambassador and there are fewer diplomats. so there are no longer any opportunities to get ordinary visas. but if there are more countries, let's say a group of these countries will be. to expand, this would certainly be a good example, but i would like, um, i wish that this decision was adopted at the level of the european council , because that is the european union, and uh, it would be another such political signal to uh, putin of the regime, and of those who somehow still, er, cd russians support this bloody war, you know general decisions are a completely different influence, but there may

be individual countries that will adhere to this correct policy, but i would like it to be a single decision at the level of brussels . what did you say? it is unlikely that there will be such a unified solution because there is hungary because there is germany and it is unlikely that they will support or somehow there is such a party as cyprus and cyprus. discussions i know they are painful they are standing and political conductors sometimes and very much as they say, it is not easy to hear such opposing arguments about the means to open the heart of the soul by the russians and so on, but i think what should be done anyway , because either we don’t understand anything about it, or we

still hold the opinion that we did everything possible to prevent it and let’s say so, uh, close russia in full isolation, because it’s not the whole issue. that’s how i would i would say visa sanctions yes. and if we are already dealing with economic ones sanctions, so why not continue this course and extend this sanction-essential policy, that's why i think that it is necessary to call on individual countries of the european union and the west, in principle, and our partners, by the way. do not issue tourist visas. and start discussing at the level of the european union. well, it is possible to stop issuing tourist visas in the spring, and all the others there are for political refugees and those who oppose the putin regime, it is still important to preserve this window of communication, but about vladimir zelensky he gave a rather harsh interview. he said that in his opinion

there is no such thing as everyone should be banned. er, from the democratic position of er, russia, those who er speak our language, i would say that they could agree with us and easily, probably, therefore, to the questions that we now discuss, i do not think that er, their isolation or our negative er, the attitude towards them is er, it's a good decision, after all we need to look at the future, too, and we will need democratic partners in russia. i really hope to see such a time . they fully understand what putin's regime means, and i know, somehow, hold me back that they didn't make any big

mistakes so that this regime would continue and so on, and it's just citizens who can to be uh, there were active opinions, but now they are more active and political and with them we need to hold a dialogue, i don't see any big mistakes or any dangers in this, and in principle there won't be many such people because they still have to prove that they are oppositionists, that's what they have to do be somehow registered and so on, we are talking about thousands, they are 100,000 people, uh, russians who can belong to this group. and

democracy or the strengthening of lukashenka's dictatorship two years ago in belarus, the largest protests in the recent history of the country took place, peaceful demonstrations were harshly suppressed and protesters were beaten, thrown into prisons , presidential candidates received huge prison terms or left the country, i will remind you how it was in in july 2020, the cec of belarus refused to register as candidates in the presidential elections the main opponents of oleksandr lukashenka, valery tsypkalo, viktor babareko and serhiy tykhanovskyi in answer, the opposition united around tikhanov's wife svitlana, who became the only opponent of lukashenka in the presidential race. well, in the end, on august 9, 2020, the central election commission announced the victory of the current president, oleksandr lukashenko , after which mass protests against the falsification of the elections and for the resignation of lukashenka began throughout belarus and the massive remaining harsh actions on the part of the authorities led to the international isolation of

lukashenka and the introduction of sanctions against him and his entourage in 2020 belarus finally became a united the country in the world that openly supported the russian invasion of ukraine and provided its territory as a bridgehead for russian troops on the anniversary of the beginning of mass protests in belarus, the nastoyashe vremya channel, which is a project of radio freedom and the voice of america, spoke exclusively with the leader of the belarusian position svitlana tikhanovskaya or after all, we understand the relationship between how the war in ukraine will end and one more opportunity for belarusians after all uh, change uh, the regime of our country and when ukraine wins. and we believe in everything

again with our minimal resources . never , that's why the war in ukraine brings so much more to the people of ukraine and to the belarusians who were forced to go there once, the war in ukraine does not give us a chance . belorussians, eh, hmm, they are more bent on the next stage and get up to the democratic ones. and when ukrainians and belarusians compete. i don't think that we were swearing . the war started. we suddenly realized, even for ourselves, that people in ukraine didn't

quite understand what was happening in belarus. they carried the matter, and that's why things suddenly became strange in belarus. co -aggressor means all of belarus means bad and support this war, of course, our brave and remarkable er-e partisans er-e it was they who could be then and protected the honor of belarus er-e belarusian district that started where in belarusians could transmit operational information to the movement of troops, our volunteers who are now fighting to defend in honor of belarus and ukraine and ukraine, these are all examples, and they were the basis for ukrainians to explain that everything is wrong. how can this gradually change our relationship we can see from the polls that lukashenko and the belarusians are already clearly divided in ukraine after they shelled the

kyiv chernigov region of the country belarus. there and we seem to be the same, but it's as if i'm to blame for something. here you are at such a moment. how do you feel? it doesn't matter what we understand that we have allowed this regime to come to power for so many years that they have been in power for so many years how many years have they remained in power now that this is the consequence of our silence этот шыдунная куда position on why in the end kyiv has not yet severed diplomatic relations with minsk, we will talk further with us on the link valery karbalevich belarusian political scientist good evening well, the first question i asked today when approaching the topic of belarus. i asked what role these

protests actually played in the two-year ancient times, but now you. what can you say? it was the first steps to freedom and democracy. was it the way to strengthen lukashenko's regime? well, i think this is a dialectic, it's not the way to freedom. such a simple process here is not a linear process, he is against things in uh, and today we observe yes, the collapse of the political regime in belarus, the transition of this regime from authoritarian to totalitarian, but uh, at what price, uh, lukashenko managed to retain his power at the price of international isolation at the price the economic amount from western sanctions at the price of destruction of the state's military functions,

for example, the function of justice and so on it is impossible to solve it by brute force, therefore, the path to freedom in belarus is simply being delayed. relations with minsk because, in fact, it is the lukashenko regime. i think that official kiev does not want to provoke the belarusian regime to participate in the armed conflict in ukraine by belarusian -born forces, therefore, in order not to anger lukashenko, do not provoke him. - and kyiv is not

wants to go to some kind of complications for some additional conflict, that is, the demand eh predfrachit the attack of the armed forces of belarus on ukraine eh the attack of the north is a very important moment for ukraine and that is why officially kiev is trying to support some contacts with the belarusian regime, you said in order not to anger lukashenka, and maybe for the same reason, well, somehow kyiv is not moving towards rapprochement, for example, with the belarusian opposition svitlana tikhonovska, headed by svitlana tikhonovska, i recently had a conversation with her advisor frank sheepdog and he said that they, for example , very much want to organize a meeting between tykhanovskaya and zelenskyi, but kyiv refuses, uh, for some reason, kyiv does not want to, do you understand why exactly, so as

not to anger lukashenko, so as not to give lukashenko a reason in any way, how to uh explain to belarusians why do we have to fight with ukraine because the participation of belarus in the war is the real participation of the belarusian armed forces, the war is very unpopular in belarus in this regard and there is a consensus against participation in this war, both lukashenko's opponents and his supporters are acting, and lukashenko understands this, and therefore avoids this and the position of kyiv. обществу почему надо воевать с украйнцами прочему что белорусы этого не выполненият that they are not very decisive in

their steps to support ukraine because they do not want to anger putin, and it turns out that you are saying that kyiv has already had reasons for not wanting to anger lukashenko. this is a real politician. politics is not such a long process. politics is such a complicated business. in different situations, official kiev offers different options for solutions . nothing surprising . politics is a complex balancing act between various interests, and i don't see anything here. well, in general, how do you, how do you now evaluate the strength of the power, the influence of the belarusian opposition after two years? well, how much is it? influential on the international arena on the international arena

she vlyatsina actually er-e tikhanovskaya team fills today the function of the ministry of foreign affairs of belarus because the foreign policy of belarus today brought this to the meeting with the russian governors, here is belarusian isolation at the time when stepanovska met almost lyzer and all european the state , therefore, the international plan, uh, affects today, another thing is the situation inside belarus, uh, practically today, a protest is impossible, uh, in belarus has a tough authoritarian regime in belarus . even for the likes of uh, under-the-radar material on social networks, you are really being punished for this. that

's why uh, the influence in me is much greater than the influence, let's say, on the internal political process. thank you very much for your comment. would talk about the results of two years since the day of the uprisings in belarus well, and the latest news about the explosions in crimea, i will remind you that near the city of saky, you would have continued explosions at the airfield. a possible violation of fire safety requirements is considered as the main cause of the explosion of ammunition at the saka airfield in crimea. tas writes about this, they received such information from some anonymous source, which they do not name in the russian military e-department . i would like to remind you that we cover all the main news related to crimea in real time on the websites of radio freedom and crimea reali, you can go and read it. well, i also traditionally encourage you to subscribe to
