well, how is it possible to see that the secretary general of the un has his own private army? or his own private mechanism of influence? now , he does not even want to say why russia became a permanent member of the un security council in 1991. instead of the soviet union it is true that there are practically no such documents, only yeltsin's letter is known, but it is also true that china i think absolutely will not allow anyone to change the current balance of power in the un security council because it is not in its chinese interests that is, we we have to get rid of the idealistic perception of international organizations. unfortunately, the position of the osce and the international committee of the red cross contributed to getting rid of excessive illusions about their position. this is absolutely clear, and secondly, our goal and our understanding should be that the armed forces of ukraine at

the moment, the most reliable guarantors of ukrainian security and actually those e-e forces and those factors that contribute to the establishment of the role of ukraine in the international army. thank you, mr. yevgeny. well and let's remember how china itself became a member of the united nations security council instead of taiwan. let's say yes, in what seems like the 57th year, the director of the institute of world politics was with us. thank you, mr. yevgeny. we wish you a nice day. olezhe, congratulations, i also sincerely congratulate you, let's start with germany, they want to start pumping russian gas there through the blocked nord stream-2 gas pipeline, well, so that people do not freeze in winter, this is the official wording, and so that industry does not suffer serious losses in this is how germany explains its decision, but our minister of foreign affairs, kuleba, says that it is like a drug addict. he says, well, i will inject myself one more time, and

then i will definitely not be the same with the germans with gas. and how do you comment? well, you already know that in reality it's funny. and we heard repeated statements from germany's top management that after february 24, you can forget about nord stream 2. however , see what the nuance is. what you have is that today the price of gas on the european market, i mean on the sports european market $2,800 for 1,000 m³. this is an unprecedented number and it is primarily related to the fact that the russians turned off the main nord stream for three days and turned off the last compressor that provided gas to the european continent that even today the germans and all the gas consumers in europe of russian gas

say that ral gazprom is not a reliable supplier, in my opinion it is not a secret for anyone, i repeat this once again, first of all we must understand that there is among the european political community individuals who are close enough to the actual keel of the gas pressure of the russian federation , that is, there are people who are to one degree or another dependent on funding from the other side, we understand that there are certain social groups in europe in germany, which firstly had a great hope to become the gas hub of europe due to the launch of the northern stream, and secondly, to change their position and not receive expenses for obtaining gas on the northern stream, so that actually you have not disappeared anywhere, they have remained and periodically they really do arise kind of like that

nostalgia for unearned income and the desire, at least somehow, against the background of the extremely difficult gas situation in europe and the extremely difficult weather conditions of this year, at least somehow, in some way, to try to resuscitate such ideas, but once again, for today, from my point of view, i repeat this is absolutely impossible and individual statements of individual politicians in no way change the political situation that exists today in europe and in germany, in particular, the northern stream will no longer exist in europe, i mean the second northern stream olezhe nord stream will be the first or not and in general you say 2800, well, these are astronomical sums if you take it there for comparison there 10 years ago. is it possible for this astronomical sum to quickly find an alternative to the supply of russian gas for europe, please? well, 10 years ago the price was $180. well

, let's just talk with you about plus or minus, of course, the price has increased 10 times. no, not at 10:15, please count how many times the price has increased not by 10, but even more, somewhere around 15 times . because even if you allocate a lot of money, you will not build new lg terminals, i always in this situation give the example of the poles who, starting from the 14th year, realized that the russian federation is in reality an unreliable supplier and that russian gas - this is absolutely not a business , russian gas - this is a real uh, let's say a pressure mechanism, they began to build in themselves um, all the news near gdansk, a huge lg terminal of the largest baltics and laid an uh, underwater

gas pipeline from norway, that is, they completely prepared for the fact that, in the 22nd year, they completely abandoned russian gas, but for this they needed five years physically, even how much money did you invest to build a new lg terminal that fully provides for the internal consumption of europe, it is impossible, although once again , negotiations are actively underway at the moment, the fate of american liquefied gas on the territory of europe has already exceeded what europeans receive through gas pipelines from the russian federation itself, but look again right here, we have more one moment, you and i talk about the northern streams all the time, we also have the southern stream, which is otherwise called the turkish stream . it works at full capacity. in addition , it was completed through the balkans until y and when actually last year hungary extended

the contract with the russian federation immediately by gazprom for the supply of gas, by the way, providing for them the possibility of payment in rubles for gas . well, there are certain countries on the european continent that are trying to make their own little hungarian one on a huge european problem, well, that is, and this applies not only to gas, it also applies to oil, it applies to pumping oil through an oil pipeline friendship well, you and i know who is actually paying for this process today? russians cannot do it because they do not currently have access to currency settlement , e.e. pumping was paid by e.e. hungarian companies, so today the druzhba oil pipeline is operating at the expense of funds paid by the hungarians and this mechanism of

finding one's own little happiness on big problems is actually a traditional path for europe, in particular for southern europe, so when we talk about what is being done in europe today in terms of gas, we we must understand that each country has its own interest and we must treat it with a deep understanding. and actually my predecessor who talked to you, mr. magda, when he discussed the question of china's place and actually china's position in the security council, he said correctly the phrase that is clear chinese political interests in this direction. believe me, there are clear european interests of certain groups of certain countries, and actually they are

primarily interested in this. in the background, for them, the main thing is a personal, small geshef, what is our situation in ukraine with gas and preparations for winter. here it is, it is very specific for us, the occupier is purposefully destroying critical infrastructure, that is, we have two problems problem the first - it is really the presence of e-e energy carrier in the storages. the second problem is the ability of critical infrastructure to provide heating, and you and i know very well the cities where the heating will definitely not be turned on at the moment. will be in kharkiv. we know very well what is being done in chernihiv, we understand what is being

done in sumy. actually, here the question is not even so much physical presence, whether there is gas or not, we understand that some territorial communities physically will not be able to be provided with heat, and there really should be sufficiently clear positions on them, where clear decisions of the authorities regarding the situation of people from these territories, because uh, well, freezing people at a temperature of -20 is a horror. and when we talk about the physical availability of gas er well, let's clearly clarify with you, in connection with the beginning of the war, ukraine has reduced gas consumption by 40%. before the war , you and i received approximately 28 billion a year, we used 28 billion cubic meters of gas per year, out of those 28 , we imported about 8 billion if we we are talking about the fact that ukraine today reduced by 40%, and these are the official figures announced by naftogaz , so let us remind you that the volume of gas

required for domestic consumption by the population and housing and communal services is about 12.5 billion cubic meters per year well, this is approximately even less than today, with all the troubles, ukrainian mining produces, plus there are still at least 6-6.5 billion cubic meters of gas that are extracted by private individuals, and in connection with the military, military regulations must be adopted for them relevant decisions regarding the mandatory sale of this gas for domestic needs, that is, at the moment we do not have any gas exports, although there were certain moments, that is, i think that the volume that ukraine produces is enough to fully provide for itself and fully provide for itself in the winter period for heating already wanted to ask you more about gasoline and fuel, we were told in a rush yesterday that the government

is now trying to cancel benefits , that is, return excise taxes and raise vat from seven to 20% as before, on fuel, on gasoline, on diesel, and cashew that this will not lead to an increase in the price of gasoline, since oil is cheap now, everything will be fine, everything will be tip top, there will be no additional payment for anything. for some reason, i think that the devil is somewhere in details and not everything is so unambiguously good. and i think i am sure that if excise taxes are returned, then the price of gasoline will rise, and with it the prices of all goods and services will rise, since fuel is an integral component of price formation for all goods and services in ukraine, what do you think about which thoughts you are inclined to you and i have trends in the world oil market. they are not only those that go down. they often return to the top, that is, we must understand that we are really at the moment very

dependent on the processes taking place in the world market oil, yes, today the government is going to return the excise tax not in full , but only in the amount of around 100 euros per ton, 100 euros per ton is uah 4 to the cost of fuel at gas stations. well, it so happened that after it was raised e-e dollar to hryvnia exchange rate that is, the hryvnia fell from 29 to 50 when it was raised to 36.6, this coincided with the process of oil seriously falling in price on world markets. gasoline at gas stations did not increase, that is, the general drop in the price of oil overshadowed the increase in the actual exchange rate of the dollar in relation to the hryvnia, that is, everything that we should theoretically

get was eaten by the drop in prices on the world market for oil, but once again, i repeat, this is not always the case will be i it is absolutely not a fact that this trend of falling prices will continue and we will see when the excise tax is increased, while our deputies will vote on the excise tax decision, that we will see with you that the prices at gas stations do not decrease, they do not increase, that is, by and large our dependence on this market is completely unpredictable, that's why i think that after the excise tax is introduced, you and i will see an increase in prices. yes, this will undoubtedly lead to an increase in prices for food products and everything that is in the market. another analogies are related to the measure because, well, we understand that uh, every piece of bread contains uh, oil products, there is the cost of work to bring that bread to the store, uh, so here it is just uh, and by the way,

when we look at the forecasts of the national bank of ukraine he says that this year inflation will exceed the thirty percent mark, that is, today we have 22.5, and by the end of the year we should have 30% inflation, and this is an average figure because, look, he has already signed a law that prohibits raising housing and communal prices for housing and communal services, that is, there inflation will be zero in terms of the price of gas for the population, as it was 7.99 and it remains, but if the average inflation is 30, then the food basket will grow more, it is 28.5 today, by the end of the year it will probably be under 35-40 - there are no expectations that after the introduction of the excise tax , the price of oil products will remain unchanged. unfortunately, i do not have any. therefore, i am still inclined to think that prices will rise by 3-4 hryvnias, we will definitely see a plus. oleg, i wanted to ask you one more question

about you they have already started talking about macro indicators talk about the level of inflation in russia, i'm reading their forecasts, they predict that by the end of the year, the level of decline in their gdp will be only 4.5%. even there it is a little less, and they predict inflation to be 13.5%, also a little less than even 13.5 . are these forecasts true and why? well, i wouldn’t say that this is a catastrophic fall. this is a state institution that does not always give objective figures, so you have to be very careful about the analysis despite these figures, the russian communists say that the gdp will drop by up to 10%. eh,

count this, a country that does not conduct military operations on its territory, this is a country that continues to receive 700-800 million dollars a day for the sale of energy sources, this is a country that is a fairly active exporter of iron ore and other raw materials, that is, see they really have a rather serious distortion in the economy at the moment, they are actively saturating their own economy with dollars that do not have to be spent in them due to sanctions the policy that is against them, you are in the civilized world , the funds received cannot be turned into those goods that they extremely need in order to somehow remove this process, they actively involved gray

imports, they actively use aid. let 's say that the countries that joined the sanctions to things are actively helping in this situation and china and turkey, we understand this, but the volume that goes through gray imports will not be able to cover at the moment eh the actual eh supplies that were carried out at that time by european countries and the americans, when there were no such sanctions, so clearly their economy suffers a lot, first of all, in matters of high-tech industries that cannot exist without supplies of spare parts , the so -called technological cannibalism is quite actively developing in them today, that is, when three airplanes standing on concrete are made two and one is disassembled and those spare parts that are necessary for the other two are removed from it. this can be done as long as you have, let's say, objects of

disassembly, as soon as they stop with all three of you will stand on concrete, in fact, the russian federation is actively following this path today, so from my point of view, a 10% drop in gdp is an absolutely realistic figure when you and i are talking about the general inflation in them today, it is 14.5, they predict that it will really decrease to 13 but i repeat once again all those things uh are extremely conditional and in parallel with uh such a level of price growth in them today certain product groups are physically disappearing from the shelves and i just want to remind you that in the times of the soviet union there was no inflation at all but uh do you remember how the shelves of shops in the soviet union looked, that is, people had money, but it regularly became more expensive to buy, among other things, in the soviet union, how

is this not surprising? military expert and spokesperson of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine vladyslav we congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes let's start with crimea let's start near the dove in temporarily occupied crimea explosions rang out about this duel bee heads with of the ukrainian tatar people, refat chubarov, for his information, it was thundering late at night in the sea at a distance of 2-3 km from the shore, what is happening there is currently unknown, looked at the crimean public in the morning, quite limited information, but what was happening was cotton, which was started from explosions on the territory of the military of the airfield everyone continues, this is great news, we see how actively the occupation air defense is constantly on automatic queues and queues for other air defense systems in order to

not to allow the ukrainian means of air strikes to achieve their styles, so far the russians are succeeding, but for example, yesterday's attack on the headquarters of the black sea fleet of the russian federation is likely, according to information that needs to be verified, to have damaged the corresponding control center of the defense protocol system on the territory of the main of the naval base, only 100% of the black sea fleet military base, of course , so things are all bad for the russians to some extent, because, as they say, we haven't started yet and i think that the dynamics of the destruction of enemy objects on the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea will continue. by the way, i would like to draw your attention to the fact that the cotton and the cotton itself takes place precisely on military objects, which are not easy to locate, the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea is not talking about any civilian object are the objects located by a civilian? thank you, mr. vladyslav,

what is the general operational situation? how do you assess the picture of the front now? is the situation difficult? if they advance, then actively use artillery to apply er artillery grudges on the territory of the ukrainian defenders er me and if er look at the map of the hostilities of the most embarrassing situation that is developing on the right bank of the dnieper in the lower reaches in the direction of strong passages on mykolaiv there continue the fierce fighting of our guys is holding the defense. but in the reports of the general staff, it is said that the occupiers have partial success, how much this success will develop in the future. hmm, the question is open. i hope that ukrainian princesses, the headquarters absolutely clearly assess all the risks associated with the following

russian occupiers in this russian -ukrainian area, so we will observe. are on them under russian occupation, because i understand that each exploded in the territory visited by the occupier, this means that some projectiles and rockets that were on the subject will never come to your castle of vladyslav, but on the way back to crimea, these explosions cotton balls are also in novofedorivka in gvardiysky and alupka. the ukrainian government and the ukrainian armed forces do not take responsibility for these attacks, and in sevastopol, according to the headquarters of the black sea fleet, there are local people. i also have contacts with people from crimea, from sevastopol, in particular, the latest strikes according to the fleet headquarters, they say it's partisans, ukrainian partisans. well, no, not the armed forces, it's the right tactic not to say anything - in the conditions of war, what is it that we are, or

after all, to raise morale, it should be said yes, this is our special operation, that's what we did and we can repeat, as the russians like to say, please, i am not ready to say why exactly the ukrainian ukrainian defense forces are keeping secret the fact that the relevant unit is involved in the structure for inflicting damage on the territory of enemy facilities in crimea, but it is clear that the ultimate beneficiary and the most interested party from the fact that enemy warehouses are exploding is ukraine - this is the defense force of ukraine, and from this it is likely that in this way, our servicemen are trying to prevent even the actions of the kremlin, we remember the statement of such a dmytro medvedeev, who talked about the fact that if the ukrainian army attacks objects on the territory of crimea, which russia does not consider its territory, then this will be a declaration of war, and they

will accordingly launch a rocket bomb attack on the decision-making centers. quite a serious period of time, uh, we are talking about august 24, our main state uh, our main state holiday, uh, there is a certain probability that the russians will again be able to implement the tactics they used here on february 24 of this year, for several days, they carried out massive missile strikes on objects throughout the territory of our country, can they repeat this ? we have certain restrictions on them, a certain nomenclature of missiles, but the fact that they can use other means, what kind of defeat is indisputable, so it will not happen yet. so, do the ukrainian defense forces recognize the type of others working, uh, ours, or werewolves or rocket operators or operators or

no, the result is much more important. and we see that active defense, air defense, is currently working, which means that we have the opportunity to fix exactly where uh-uh you dictate the defense is located and we can determine to some extent the algorithm of further actions. i am looking at maria tabak at the representative of the presidential office the president of ukraine has already emphasized that among the options, the full occupation of crimea is already being considered , including the military option, that is, the involvement of ukrainian servicemen. great news, because there has been a very serious shift and the shift of which is the internal movement of people from crimea to sevastopol for more than eight years. we mentioned decentralization of decision-making with yevgeny maga. he said that in response to, not in response, but after the undermining of the undermining car with the daughter of dugin

of this oleksandr daryna margarita semyon simonyan not unknown began to shout everywhere and write all the messengers in the decision-making center in the decision-making center and several exclamation points hinting to the fact that she demands strikes on our decision-making centers, but i read an interview with either narestovych or podolak, i don't remember who said that decision-making centers, well, let them strike, do you think that we are all sitting there in these santas make decisions, and it is from there that the coordination of the actions of the ukrainian armed forces takes place, and we also have a lot of horizontal connections, not vertical ones, that is, questions or blows. even if, god forbid, it happens on independence day or sometime in the center such decisions will have at least some result, except for the destruction of buildings. well, of course, it will be unpleasant

. but will it have an impact on the situation at the front? er circle of our society. of course, now no one enters these buildings, there is a corresponding command of the point from which the management of the effective ukrainian defense forces is carried out, and this is absolutely logical. and as for margoshi symonenko, it is absolutely logical that now certainty is not ruled by such emotions, she understands that one propagandist died, who knows who will be next , and here we have to understand. we don't know, but we know how hidden the cynical general security service of the russian federation behaves from time to time, so let's see, i think that later, we'll find out what really

happened and who contributed to it a worker with a question, i have a question, what else is there with the supply of heavy weapons? we have seen the nomenclature of weapons, we see that uh-type is coming to us with high-precision uh-weapons , ammunition for these weapons, on the one hand, this is good news, on the other hand, we understand if the general is involved in declaring that in some days, uh the russian occupiers use up to 10,000 e-e key projectiles, primarily in the caliber of 152 mm and more. and the ukrainian defense forces receive 6,000 projectiles only within the framework of this 775 million tranche, but they

are confident that the equipment there is on e-e, this is quite such a specific projectile, but their there for 1000 for 2000 uah , respectively, the ratio of artistic means of defeat, if we measure the number of languages ​​fm dima, then it is much smaller, but uh, western weapons, ammunition for these weapons is an order of magnitude more accurate and effective, and the language yesterday i listened he says that there is a certain parity in some areas of the front where there is no significant concentration and the concentration of russian artillery systems is uh-uh. how will it differ
