final arminton and ivano-frankivsk became sister cities only in 2011. since then, the cities have held many cultural and educational programs. working here for about two weeks together with our fire service, the most interesting case is when they met the head of the fire brigade, a woman whom they had probably never seen before women firemen and one of the ukrainian firemen asked our she tells you what to do, he answered yes and you do it, of course we do. we also invited blacksmiths from ivano-frankivsk, here they were accepted by the poto maksk guild of blacksmiths, they adopted each other's experience and worked together, for example, this one make a sculpture in the tree of life, a blacksmith named anatoliy eh med-servel

terrorist state of russia plans to hold fictitious pseudo-referendums on captured ukrainian lands in the coming weeks, cnn is talking about this and with reference to the us state department, well, what will be the results of these pseudo-referendums? i think it is not worth discussing, because the leadership of russia does not care what people there emphasize, the main thing is what will be written in the protocol. things that is probably why you have appointed the first deputy head of the administration of the russian president, serhii kyriyenko, as the curator of these pseudo-referendums on the air 1+1 project night watch and now we will dissect putin's idea of ​​reuniting the captured lands into molecules with the russian empire, yevhen kuksim and venklinsky are working in the studio, and we have guests valentin glykh, political expert, candidate of philosophical sciences good good evening good evening well, i think that the current situation with preparations for the so-called referendums was revealed by putin himself during his

theater meeting with the head of his own divisional guard, so i think it is necessary to see the version of the special operation. about the fact that even by russian a-a standards, according to their indicators, they do not succeed, but still they are trying to er well, to create at least something in the matter of holding this referent, so valentin, you think er, why are they doing this, the goal is inertial one moment, and the second from hopelessness, well, we have to do something. well, i read a lot of different analytics that were published both before the war and at the beginning of this war, and in fact there were

different forecasts about the military component or the military achievements of the russian federation but in essence, i emphasize all the analysts . practically everyone said that the russian federation does not have political instruments of fixation , even military ones. well, the subsequent events, as a matter of fact, and they showed, that is, i ask . all these tell about the fact that a special military operation is going according to plan, it looks more and more funny, or as my colleague petro oleschuk joked about it, when the cruiser moskva went to the bottom, then he wrote the military operation is going according to plan today according to the plan it was the destruction of the cruiser moscow well, they have a lot of such plans being implemented yes that is, to lose there i don’t know half of my missiles, in fact i don’t know all the air forces there, a lot of military equipment, a lot of personnel that is it

was all according to plan, i.e. what you see now is exactly the way putin planned it, if the russians are watching us, we are special for them, i am speaking now, that is exactly how this operation is, your leader and planned yes, that is, thousands of victims among your soldiers and the destruction of all your combat equipment by sanction, even though it is an uneconomical position, this is all according to the plan, that's how he saw it, that is, it's not accidental, it's natural, but for our normal people, i want to say that it's clear that, well, all this is absurd, so now returning to to your question, it's one thing to seize the territory. well, everyone understands very well whether even these territories are under occupation, they are temporarily occupied territories, and the temporality is determined by many things. factors well, once in february, for example, territories were occupied near kyiv, well, how long were they occupied there, well, for a few weeks, part of the territory there has been occupied for longer, yes. if we

are talking about the territory of donetsk, luhansk oblasts, part of donetsk oblasts have been occupied not so long ago, and we do not know how long it will last this time of occupation, that is, it is a fluid state , in order to turn it from this fluid state into something permanent, the instruments of flight are necessary. well, we can remember the 39th year as the soviet union there captured western ukraine, and after the introduction of soviet troops into these territories, the mass terror of the nkvd and the local population began, first the cleansing of all nationalist elements, and then the installation and filming of these shots, how the soviet authorities are greeted with flowers, but there is one nuance. this was a tool, that is, it must be understood that terror is actually er, and all these propaganda videos are just a tool and one of the tools, that is, you have to understand that formally what they did was to hold some kind of election, to form some kind of legal, legitimate

the bodies of the local self-government there, or not local, then accordingly proclaimed the act on the accession of this part of ukraine to the ukrainian soviet socialist republic, that is, they were still observed, the procedures were previously passed, well, let's not forget that in the context, another story can to be more interesting, we forget about it lately, but our partners and allies from the baltic countries remember it because, for example, no one in the world recognized before the annexation of lithuania and latvia and estonia to the soviet union, i.e. they had their national governments in exile, which were recognized as legal and legitimate, and the fact of joining these territories to the ussr was accordingly not recognized, and we can cite many such examples when formally, i.e. de-facto, i.e., some force, some government carried out in essence there is socio-political social economic management, but where yury, well, it was absolutely not

recognized by anyone, well, you can compare. where uh because it would have been formed before the east germans , well, it was in principle well, where in that uh, germanska let's call it so there is a german germanska uh this republic or there, for example, a fast one, and there are, for example, territories in the world that are, for example, nobody there are unrecognized states, but we are made to think that our world consists of sovereign states. in fact, the palette is much wider. yes, there are recognized states, those that are members, and there are unrecognized states. we know that this is enough a specific statute, that's all that putin will not be able to achieve in ukraine, but still he

is trying to hold this pseudo-referendum, what kind of referendum are we declaring ? paraphrase, can you confirm at the end that you are finally part of russia , that is, how do they make it clear to us that the question will stand? well, just do that this region, this region is part of russia, but how to interpret it, how to legalize it here for two let's break it down into parts. point one, what are the consequences of the politics? all the perfumes can have them. i don't even want to use the term pseudo-referendum, because it 's not even a pseudo-referendum. how the best man came and says i was in africa, i saw there, he says, uh, this uh, uh, a rhinoceros, he says

it’s not like that rhino looks like well, i’m saying, i saw a horse, i saw it, it’s not at all similar, that’s why we talk about what , uh, putin is there wants to hold it is allegedly similar to a referendum and no is not at all similar to it referendums have nothing to do with induction, call it , that is, it doesn’t matter what will be the result, well , conditionally, there it is, the representatives will go to the world forum there, it doesn’t matter how they will legalize and explain it, but it will be possible that according to the result of the referendum, this and that and so what will happen next, it won't be uh, again, this is about the policy of legal consequences, this is what the president of ukraine said. i still don't know two months ago that the only legal consequences of holding these performers will have this criminal liability for their organizers and participants, no other consequences - this is a referendum, but there are regulations, that is, the un and the osce, which clearly define the norms according to which the

expression of will must be organized and carried out, and the referendum is one of the varieties of the expression of will in order for its results to be considered legal and legitimate, if they do not meet these criteria, then no one will recognize it as an expression of will, or even purely. so that our viewers are clear on practical matters. well, we understand that there are even civil relations that is, if, roughly speaking, vasyl was forced to buy a brick for $100,000. well, we understand that this is a criminal offense and not a voluntary agreement between two business entities, it's the same here. therefore, there will be no consequences . will try to use it is the subject of another discussion, but to talk about what will happen next in terms of legal, i can say that there will be nothing. no one in the world recognizes this consequences, this is a worthless decision. if it’s that simple, since the occupation of crimea and its

fictitious annexation to russia, we have already understood that no one in the world political community recognizes this, and there are no political consequences for the world’s perception of this occupied territory, there will not be, and there cannot be and we understand that everything will happen in the captured territories after february 24 . there are no battles. well, peaceful cities have been destroyed, and there is not even a physical place in some cities to hold these pseudo-referendums, but they are still trying to do it. we understand that they will use it in their propaganda media and tell what people are watching. russia will bring tourers there, we understand everything but what is the implication of this for them, they need to

show some results, well, that is, this special military operation has been going on for six months, what do they call it, well, what are its goals and what are its results, eh these issues are causing more and more questions in russian society, well, accordingly, something must be explained, well, i understand, i have repeatedly said that you cannot even call residents of the russian federation citizens, they are subjects , or citizens, these are those to whom the government is accountable to the russian residents, the current government is not accountable, they are accountable to this government, they are subjects, but even among subjects, when questions arise, yes, that is, it can generate frustration and aggression there, it can pose a threat to the stability of the political regime, it doesn't matter to them it is necessary to somehow explain why their lives are deteriorating , why they are perceived more and more in the world as some well, it is not that there is not
