there is justice for the russians for those collaborators who live in the donetsk luhansk region, but on the other hand, the most important thing is definitely an attempt to split ukrainian society , or definitely there are subjective and objective claims against the ukrainian authorities . by the way, you said about the role of the un and the yurt a-a has already been formed, so let's say a working group or a commission that should visit the deer herd where it was destroyed. i am absolutely sure that it was intentional a the punitive action of the russian special services when they destroyed ukrainian prisoners of war in violation of anything. i am not talking about moral things, about international law, first of all, but actually, of course, we should appeal, of course, we should call on the international community to condemn such actions, and of course, we should to ask our er

partners to apply additional sanctions because it is certain that russia does not understand anything except force. i understand that sanctions cannot stop this process , they cannot er return to us those who were er killed by the russians or, er, prejudge the possibility of the destruction of these people, because i have absolutely no doubts that absolutely brutal sentences will be passed during the so-called tripunal and definitely what else is ahead of us well, quite difficult things, but sharpening the russian economy, let's say, russia's ability to conduct this war, this war is unconditional. it is possible, the opportunity must be used. therefore, we must talk with our partners. and actually, about greater sanctions and about the majority of weapons, since this war will be unconditional to continue as long as russia has the resources and will be able to physically wage this war for this, in fact, we need to be supported by the world as a whole, but of course there are nuances, and yesterday i read about it,

so the representative of the german ministry of defense said that they are not can give more weapons to ukraine because they supposedly have to defend themselves and their allies, he kept silent about the fact that, by and large, even germany is protected primarily by the flag of the united states and the presence of american military weapons this is related to the fact that they do not want to increase the number of weapons that they provide us, but definitely every such fact is a crime or a threat to the world, such as the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, and these are additional arguments to show that ukraine must win, not just russia must win, but ukraine itself must win this war in order to bring peace and security to the european continent, well actually you mentioned the organization of the united nations, mr. alexander , why do i really want to return to the un because, uh, we remember how in 1991, when it fell apart

the soviet union russia declared itself the legal successor of the soviet union and boris yeltsin's letter to the united nations was formed in this way in order for the un to recognize russia as the legal successor of the soviet union with the corresponding positions, i.e. in the security council and in general in the un the founders of the un were the ukrainian ssr separately, and accordingly, ukraine received a local un and the belarusian ssr also received a place in the un. as it became in 1991, moscow no longer passed, and in principle, in principle, due to the fact that russia

has a place in the security council, it has the right to veto not all decisions of the security council, that is, the highest bodies of the united nations. can we, against the background of what is happening in ukraine against the background of a large-scale war of aggression of the russian federation, it is still necessary to initiate the deprivation of russia of all rights in the organization of the united nations, or is the world afraid of the nuclear club of russia and the fact that, as serhii shoigu, the minister of defense of the russian federation, said just a few days ago, that we are so great the state is a nuclear state and now no one will give up on us because, well, where are we to share, why are the rights of a terrorist country not limited in the organization of the united nations and, in particular, at the un security council

? holding the seat of a permanent member of the security council, yes, whether we will be able to do it, i have doubts. actually, the factor of nuclear weapons is one of the elements, but not only there are also such psychological factors , the fact is that after the collapse of the soviet the west was so uplifting to the union that there is no such main enemy who ideologically intended to destroy the entire free world, and therefore russia must be willing in every possible way to integrate into the civilized society of the international community. in fact, this was the reason why poor laptev russia was accepted into the group of seven and became well, they call it the big seven wrongly, that’s why the group of seven became the eight, and big help was also given to russia. from the point of view of the fact that they thought it would become a normal democratic country by the state from the point of view of the fact that it was necessary to actually

reduce the danger, primarily nuclear, but then you remember that there was still a large amount of its bacteriological , chemical and other types of weapons. we will talk on the independence day of ukraine, but we will remember george bozh starshov's speech in the ukrainian parliament when he called on ukrainians not to let go of these demons of nationalism that could destroy something there, because he did not want another independent state to appear that possessed the third-largest nuclear potential, and now it is about russia. the same considerations in the worst nightmare of the american military or the european military. and this is the collapse of russia, because such scum like kadyrov or someone else can get weapons and will definitely be able to threaten not only to its neighbors in the federation, and

in fact to all of education, in fact, this is the way of thinking. it did not go anywhere without a word, and there are also false opinions that russia is capable of being a democratic state, it is you and me, and our neighbors are the baltics, poland, romania we understand very well that russia in these borders of this political elite and with this pleps that the council supports aggression against its neighbors, i am not talking about the poor living conditions, the lack of freedom in which they have been living for 20 years, of course we have no doubts that russia cannot to be a legal , democratic, liberal or some such state , therefore, of course, such thinking, let’s say blocs. they do not give opportunities to our western friends, the further they are from the russian border, the less i do not understand what modern russia is, and they cherish this hope that there is some other russia, a democratic russia, that can take power and

become part of this civilized society, actually these are the key reasons for fear and hope that russia can be different, friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube platforms and facebook. if you are watching us now live on youtube or facebook, please like our video, subscribe to our channels, and follow our news on other social networks in telegram at instagram, as well as on various platforms where we give you complete and reliable information about what is happening in ukraine, read on our website espresso tv e.p. oleksandr and it is clear that in this story, which the russian federation is currently disseminating, regarding the unreliability or the threat of the ukrainian

threats to the whole world, the following question arises: is it possible at all, what kind of negotiations are possible between ukraine and russia, because last week, zelenskyy guterres and erdogan met and the president of turkey talked about he would very much like zelensky and putin to meet, in particular, in turkey. he has been repeating this thesis for several months. azovians, of course, there will be no negotiations with the russian federation, and the russian federation says that there were certain agreements as of april 2022. now we have already gone too far from this, the longer the war lasts, then there can be no negotiations.

hmm, what do you think, are any negotiations at all possible, diplomatic negotiations between ukraine and russia in the current situation, have we already crossed that red line, uh, beyond which one country and the other country only need victory in this war? well, you know on the one hand, of course, that russia is not going anywhere and one day we will have to settle our relations with the russian federation diplomatically and probably by signing some documents, but unfortunately , so far i don't see any room for diplomacy in general, yes, i absolutely do. i think that the majority ukrainian citizens are extremely grateful to mr. dragan and turkey for what he is doing, and he is doing this not only for his own interests, but also in principle he is quite positive towards ukraine, not a series of steps. this confirms, and most importantly, that president zelensky said

that there cannot be any negotiations. if there will be no negotiations on n- not only a cease-fire but the return of all territories, including crimea, crimea is a key key moment in general, despite the fact that i am danes for us, what for me, what is now mine my native city has been occupied for eight years, and that it is a crack and so on, but i believe that the first and most important thing is that we have to return crimea and this is not a question of international law or the restoration of the rights of the crimean tatar karaite and krymchak peoples of the leading peoples of ukraine this is a question of the survival of ukraine, because actually a military base on the territory of crimea is a constant threat to ukraine, the entire black sea region, and beyond it, since there was no crimea, there would be no syria , there would be no libya and so on, so crimea is it is a matter of principle that if the negotiations do not touch this, they cannot lead to any peace agreement

there or anything, they can cease fire, this is the only thing we can count on, but taking into account the news from the fronts, especially the fact that our defense forces are quite successful in destroying enemy pockets munitions centers, infrastructure, and lately they have been wreaking havoc on the fascists in crimea, i do not think that it is in the interests of ukraine to stop such things, this is not a large-scale offensive. i am not sure that we have enough means to it's a pity, but actually, no, we can't stop now, because you really said correctly, the russians will use this for regrouping . for additional covert mobilization, these women are threatening to actually continue this war, so in the future, diplomacy will have the opportunity to decide with, let's say, settle our relations with the russian federation, but no, there are

no such grounds now, taking into account public and non- public statements and what the russians are doing. on the 16th, there was a security conference on the 10th the moscow conference where both putin and shoigu spoke, in fact, according to their rhetoric, i did not see any intentions to change it. this is madness . i am not talking about the name, of course, we did not want war, even for the russians, it is madness, because by and large they are on the stage of destroying their own state and i am telling you that it is a rogue state , it was rejected economically tens of years ago, i am telling you that this fascist state essentially has no future, but they still have certain resources, i don’t know for a few years, but the fact is that it goes on by the nation itself. it is absolutely obvious, so they told us there that february 24, 22, was the date of the end of the hegemony of the united states, that is, they are still fighting against the united states and the hegemony of

the united states. here on the territory of ukraine, they are with ukrainians, and not just with ukrainians because of course there is no such nation, there is no such state, these are fictions , lenin did not appear, and not the austro-hungarian general staff, that is exactly why these genocidal calls are why these attacks on cities are why the continued accumulation of forces and means to wage this war they just show that in russia they absolutely do not perceive, well, that is, they do not see the need to end this war, a pause is so possible, but for now, putin at least here, even here, he gives that he is fine and he is going to end this special military operation how and planned in the meantime, the baltic countries of the czech republic, the czech republic and poland are in favor of a ban on visas for russians, especially tourists. finland has sharply reduced their issuance, and

already today the lithuanian foreign ministry announced that the baltic countries of poland and finland may ban entry russian tourists, i.e. schengen visas will not work even if the eu cannot agree on a general eu ban, meanwhile, the usa does not plan to ban visas for russians. they said that after russia started a large-scale war on february 24, they already closed the travel to the united states of america for approximately 5,000 people who are in one way or another involved in russia's attack on ukraine and this work will be continued as a ban on russians e-e entering with tourist visas to well at least the baltic countries czech republic poland and finland like will it have an effect on the russians themselves, on the situation

inside the country, will they understand that their russian aircraft carrier, headed by putin, is just going to the bottom and they don't want to see it in the civilized world, that's why they are banned move towards the european union well, you know, in the last few days, there are huge queues of russians who want to leave for finland, well, it should be said that there is a ban on the flight of russian planes through european airspace, so there is no possibility i let them escape even for russians to go to any country in europe, they have the opportunity exclusively with neighboring countries with which they certainly do not have the best relations now in terms of how it will affect, on the one hand, of course there is a certain number of people is it okay to talk about good

russians there or some kind of liberal position? but let there be such people there and they do not oppose this regime and they are not very uncomfortably resting in a country that is more and more like a gulag than there is some victorious victorious and state like her the future will definitely suffer, and a certain number will definitely suffer, well, even those who can and support him, but there are representatives of the middle class who have some kind of funds, but the majority of russians, well, even more so if they do not live in this part of europe russia, of course, did not have a special opportunity to travel around the world before, taking into account the distances , taking into account the begging that is widespread in this seemingly, well, from the point of view of numbers, the most prosperous country in the world, but i think that this will not lead to some kind of revolutionary actions there, because by and large

the russians, well, you know. for me, it was a preliminary interview, i don't remember now what this woman 's name is, she heads this union of soldiers' mothers , which, in principle, i remember how they worked against the soviet system, when the war in afghanistan began in 1979-1980, then the first chechen war , and now this is how it is. she talked about the fact that the mothers and wives of modern russian soldiers who are fighting in ukraine are afraid to go even to a military unit and write a statement or ask what is being said there son or husband and therefore in this sense, putin actually managed to create such a biomass from the russians, i understand that they were not previously disliked by the people as such, or the people, it is generally difficult for the russians to apply such a definition, so now they are atomized, in fact, biological -e entities that are not able to protect even the most precious thing that they

have, their own children, and therefore it is useless to hope that some millions or hundreds of thousands will go out into the streets. we did not see millions or hundreds of thousands when this e began, it is senseless for the russians, first of all the war is hers, right now it’s about this opportunity to travel to europe well, i’m absolutely not in i think that other things can shake the russian federation, it’s not putin’s ability to hold these regions with the force of bayonets and, most importantly, those republics that are er contributors to the general russian budget or money with which they can buy loyalty, well, first of all, let's take a look at chechnya, which is actually holding all other russians hostage and receives too many resources, that is, it seems to me that these are the most important things, these contradictions between in the regions, the impossibility of living even at a minimum level. i mean begging there, the impossibility

of access to some such basic goods in the russian federation, this will be read and in no way is it an opportunity to be in a integrated world, indeed, you correctly said that they do not want to see them there, president ilves, well the former president of estonia said the process. look, they went crazy instead of behaving quietly and not violently . behave inadequately and that's why they simply showed that they are not normal citizens and part of the society in which they have lived for 30 years, not to mention the actual threat from the point of view of national security, all these tatygis, i don't even remember the last names of these two murderers and violinists. they have the opportunity, because of course , it will be absolutely right for them to live there, and somehow you think maybe

it will reach them, but, in principle, it is primarily to protect europeans from the russian peace. the only leaders of the russian world are our neighbors belarus lukashenko, as he said, he is not going to bomb ukraine from belarus, he says it is not ukraine, russia is at war with russia, let's hear it and don't think that i am planning some kind of attack here, we will bomb ukraine with territory of belarus and so on. i have no desire for your and my children to fight. in the name of what we need to keep quiet. no ukraine is at war today with russia, the entire nato bloc is at war with america, first of all oleksandr lukashenko the president of belarus constantly talks about this thesis and repeats that it is an entire bloc at war. and do

the belarusians themselves understand why? why am i actually asking this because all the sanctions are related to visas? as for economic sanctions, they are, in principle, applied to russia for the most part. there is a list of sanctions. to which belarus also fell after the elections of the so -called elections of 2020, and yet, should belarus and belarusians feel that they are also outcasts in the world, since they are partakers of vladimir putin and the russian army precisely from 24 february 2022, when russian tanks advanced from the territory of belarus, and belarus is a participant in this war. yes, mr. serhiy absolutely passed from the point of view of international law, even if no belarusian

soldier crossed the border, but from the territory of belarus, a third state carried out aggression, these are actually acts of aggression, therefore belarusians bear the same responsibility. i have on my feet as citizens, if i would say collectively, responsibility for what is happening on the other side, you know. well, there is something that divided belarusians a little into those who are for russian peace who cares about those who are for us, because there are definitely those who fight together with the ukrainian armed forces and those who are in european countries and conduct political actions of some kind, trying to support ukraine and fight against lukashenka's regime, and that's why i would definitely like it to be like that there was still a division, but in general, i think it would be correct, since belarus and russia are military and political allies, they equally saw threats to their security even before 2014, because these were not western countries

of democracy, because of course these countries practice democracy. this means that we are changing power, which was not the case in belarus in general. if in russia there are bears, he sat on the throne for a while, then in belarus, except for lukashenka, they did not see anyone with it, and that is why this smoky father and demagoguery that he would tell us we should not take into account but put pressure on this regime. and by the way, this is a question of our foreign policy, not only of the current president, but also of the previous one, but this is not how we made it possible to get out of the attack of belarus. do you remember when we agreed on the minsk platform for victory with the russian federation? and everyone forgot that lukashenka is the last dictator of europe and actually tried to somehow communicate with him. another question is that after that there were these pseudo-elections and he seized the illegal government and then there sanctions were introduced, but by and large, ukraine helped them in a certain way, they

actually continued to support this regime, since they traded even with the russian federation through the territory of belarus, and also, actually, we we used, let's say, the transit capabilities of belarus in order to buy russian diesel, well, in fact, for petroleum products , including our armed forces, but it still happened. and in this way, we indirectly supported this regime and, unfortunately, we, i mean the ukrainian authorities did not clearly condemn these elections , their so-called results, and clearly did not take the side of the opposition. i am not talking about tikhonov . certain views or the ability to be the leader of a united position, but it was necessary to support the belarusians who see belarus as part of the free world and not the russian

peace . an independent individual state on sunday, e.e. olafshol from the chancellor of germany stated that before the invasion of the russian federation on the territory of ukraine, putin told him that he did not see the future of such states in the future of the architecture of the world like belarus and ukraine, they say that this is our sphere of responsibility and, in general, the sphere of influence, and something says that these are absurd ideas, absolutely absurd ideas, but we see that putin is trying to implement these absolutely absurd ideas, and when i see lukashenka, who comes through, talks about what i do not i am going to attack ukraine, then there is a

technological question. does he still control something in the republic of belarus, or does such a republic no longer exist? well, i think that, at the moment, it is simply not profitable for putin to play some kind of re-election there or the interim government and so on, that's why he keeps it at a high cost all this time, belarus was holding on, more precisely, the lukashenko regime was holding on to russian energy because they were simply re- exporting and actually these oil and gas dollars they started to decrease when the russians started this so -called of the tax maneuver, it was still uh quite long. that is, it is not the 22nd year, in fact, then his power faltered and this belarusian soviet miracle turned out to be simply him, he was a mastermind , in fact, on russian resources, but actually now he rests exclusively on russian bayonets, and therefore i am not sure that he can forbid or

allow something to be done there. to the presidents of belarus and actually he does not have any room for maneuver after he drowned in the blood of his own citizens after the so-called elections and therefore he has no opportunity to communicate with europeans and somehow balance what to maneuver between russia and the civilized world, that's why i don't think that this is a possibility. but the most important thing is that we should remember that ukraine will not be safe , and indeed the entire euro and the entire european continent until belarus is also a part of the free world, in fact, if we look at the blow that hit both chernihiv and kyiv, and this is an absolutely clear , clear argument that without a democratic belarus, ukraine , which is part of the civilized world,

will be constantly in danger. i am not talking about the about other things. therefore, we should be on the side of belarusian citizens who want such a vision for their country and actually support the opposition forces against this illegal pseudo-president . well, at the end of our program, i will ask you about the new kyiv initiative. that's how it's called the kyiv initiative - it's a discussion format challenges in the field of security of ukraine, lithuania, latvia, estonia, poland, romania, slovakia and hungary , the head of the office of the president of ukraine, andriy yermak, said yesterday about the creation of such a format and the main task of this kyiv initiative is the issue of security. please tell me what you think about this initiative to what extent it can accelerate or, let's say, form some kind of new security system in ukraine. well, you know that there will be new security very often from the president's office, they say that it is

impossible to create it because it is certain that our opponents have a nuclear state and so far, unfortunately , we have not won, not only after we celebrate our victory, we will have a chance for some formations of world security fighting for at which international institutions, first of all, the un and there is the security council and there is the russian federation. therefore, until we kick out the russian federation , nothing will change from there, but there are also regional formats and, first of all, it is nato, that is, for us. if we are talking about real security games ours can be two options or a combination of them , it is membership of the gna or er and er, so such an agreement would work with the united states as a nuclear power that would, let’s say, guarantee our protection and including the use of nuclear weapons they do not address all these initiatives
