by president erdoğan - this has been confirmed once again, we truly appreciate the contribution of both president erdoğan and the un secretary general to the creation of the grain corridor, but there are really issues that cause us many questions, and in particular, the latest incident when russia threw the s300 complex across the bosphorus eh hmm there is a question and we must not hide it . what is the level of our relations with? what is the level of relations with which when problems arise we address them very openly and directly without ukrainian or ottoman diplomacy, and we speak very openly and look for a solution. president erdogan of turkey from time to time talks about the possibility of a meeting between

president zelensky and russian president putin . do you think it's time to sing or is it real ? is it just another wish for the distant future? well, we can't forbid president erdoğan to believe in what is now. the time has come for some kind of diplomatic negotiations with the russian federation and, in principle, his desire to play a constructive role in this process, uh, we welcome him, but uh, we do not share the opinion that russia is now ready for negotiations, all the actions of russia now demonstrate that it believes in its war and is looking for a military solution to the conflict, that is, now is not the time for negotiations, they were conducted at the beginning of the war, but then there were these atrocities of bucha er-e irpin, that is, the mountains were interrupted and now is not the time for their

restoration, so i understand that it was bucha irpin correctly but there was something else, and there was a clear realization that russia is not conducting negotiations in good faith. russia imagines negotiations as they arrived. they put an ultimatum on complete surrender on the table, and ukraine has to accept this. this is the russian idea about negotiations, and our ideas about negotiations are a dialogue with search for mutually acceptable solutions with full respect for the territorial integrity of the sovereignty of ukraine, when we made every effort to translate the language of the ultimatum into the language of dialogue. it is clear that there is nothing to actually talk about with them, when russia changes its approach and stops living its er fantasies that they will win this war, then we will see er hm here there may

be a window for negotiations now the er talks have resumed again about possible security guarantees for ukraine, in particular, the yarmak group is not scrutinized about this, what guarantees does ukraine need, which would satisfy the ukrainian side, plans for security guarantees in the future well, i think i will correct you not a little here the conversation resumed, it did not stop , it was just very professional, and it was conducted quietly , just along the lines of andriy yarmak and his colleagues, the foreign policy advisers of the leaders of other countries participating in this dialogue, because it is about very delicate things and for a certain time it was necessary to just sit without fuss and work and reflect on what it could be . the yarmak rammusin group was created, which is about to issue its recommendations literally from day to day, as far as i know, it will be the foundational document and the next stage - this will be the

transformation of this expert document into concrete diplomatic agreements. this work has not been interrupted, will not be interrupted and will continue. -e current and moment. when ukraine becomes a full-fledged member of nato, it is necessary to find some temporary solution in the form of a security guarantee for ukraine. this is exactly what the entire team of president zelenskyi is working on. regarding the question i have now about the european union, ukraine got it wrong long ago, in june, candidate status, when will negotiations actually begin, already about uh, membership negotiations about already formal ones will take place, this is the stage of applying, you know, before receiving the status of

contrast, i was constantly asked when we will receive candidacy, they demanded to name the date, and now they have to name the date when we let's start, let's start negotiations on membership. i never named a date, but i said that it would definitely happen, it would happen, and uh, we kept our word, it happened the same way now, i don't remember anything, but i can absolutely say with confidence that it will happen and it will take much less time than obtaining the status of a candidate, and this, in particular, was the topic of my conversation yesterday in stockholm and today in prague , because now prague presides over the european union , and in the first half of next year sweden will preside and we believe that these two presidencies are a time of great decisions regarding the future and without alternative membership of ukraine to the european

union. this is how i will answer you diplomatically regarding nato. it seems that there is already such an understanding in ukraine that no it is imperative to get an action plan regarding the membership of the pdc, and the example of its sweden, finland shows that it is possible to get nato membership even without bees. how do you see it now, the european-euro-atlantic integration of ukraine, well, actually, on february 24, it reset all the previous policy of nato in this regard how ukraine should reach membership and in what case, sweden in finland confirmed publicly and visibly that what ukraine always talked about was true , whether membership is primarily a matter of political will, do you see this or that country as part of the alliance and pdch compatibility is all technical questions if you don't want to see the country as part of the organization and you

constantly emphasize technical things... there is such a term ah, and if you want to see the country, you solve all these issues very quickly, so i think that from the point of view of nato, i would even be uh well, now it is indecent to return to the conversation about the pdc, some long, endless processes, but nato must say our word that is, we have said our word, now we are waiting for the alliance to say how it sees this process among the western circles of politicians and the public, there are two approaches . winter is coming because of the war and so on, others

say that it is necessary to support ukraine as long as necessary without imposing its peace and waiting for its victory and that you answer the first group, which is skeptical and already tired, so to speak. well, i tired of their skepticism, well look, these are all the groups that never believed in ukraine, that were advocates of these half-measures in relation to russia, that always said, well, let's go here, somehow all their policies failed with the first one, with the rocket that fell on kyiv on february 24, they really are. it's not maine. that is, it's not some kind of baseline, but some people in europe are starting to say no, maybe that's what they all need. hmm. we answer, we're already tired of your attempts to constantly solve any situation at the

expense of ukraine, and when i someone starts to tell that ukraine has to make some kind of concession on any issue, no, it's not territorial service, it's not even being discussed, but such tactical things, it's necessary to make a concession because it's very important to mean that russia has agreed i just don't say anything. well, you can stop here and not continue the conversation . by the way, 2 hours ago, there was a phone conversation right here. you and i are making an appointment with a colleague from one european country and there, or you can leave here. there, then, demonstrate the constructiveness of that. that russia on this issue she took a very, very tough position, she doesn't want to make concessions, that's why you need to go, well, it's just goodbye, so little is finished, see you or hear from you next time, well, that is, it's a wrong approach in principle, he he pro- he completely

discredited himself, so we categorically reject him, no matter what the ukrainian victory in this war is the return to the positions of the russian troops before the withdrawal on february 24 of this year or the liberation of this donbas crimea and what was the victory, well , the return to the positions on february 24 is a continuation of the torture in which ukraine lived since 2014 by 2022, the goal of ukraine's victory in this war is the complete restoration of its territorial integrity . where possible, militarily, and where possible , diplomatically, then the second phase of the war will come. aggression to responsibility and the payment of compensation, and then the third phase of the war will come - this is the

repentance of the ukrainian people and the russian political elite, and i once said that. and i was then torn apart at all the russian propaganda shows, but i absolutely continue to believe that the day will come when some russian leader, whoever it is, will come to ukraine and kneel in front of the monument to the victims of russian aggression and will stand on his knees for a very long time and apologize to by the ukrainian people for everything that has happened to us in the past, and when this happens, it will be the final victory of ukraine, mr. minister, thank you very much for this interview, thank you. so, we continue

our informational and analytical marathon on espresso tv channel just started an interview of radio liberty correspondent rostyslav khotyn with the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleby, they recorded it in prague, where an informal meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs and defense of the eu member states was taking place. well, the ukrainian side was also present, and here we are now about let's move on to another topic, but i want to remind you about that topic. today, one student. close to the mission, the ihp mission is at a checkpoint in novoaleksandrivka, about 20 km from the front line, the movement of the convoy is stopped here, but the arrivals can be heard, but in the distance, the source said . of enemy shelling, by god, the information was uh, now as a result of enemy shelling, it was turned off, turned off due to the russian about when the fifth power unit of the zaporizhzhia

nuclear power plant and in the russian in the meantime, federations continue to take place quite interesting incidents of deaths, let's say so, the information resistance reports, in particular, that the vice-president of lukoil, whose name was ravil maganov, he was treated at the tskb on marshala street, on the first floor, he did not leave a suicide note, well, we can see the trend there are , well, in russia there are actually a lot, well, not there, it’s not like there are very many, there were quite a lot of deaths during this, as putin said, a special military operation, in fact, the course of the war unleashed against ukraine, we also remember the representatives of gazprom, imagine this, presidents from top managers. there were a lot of suicides. and now a man fell out of a window. well, as for the disease, he had heart problems. meanwhile, kazakhstan is informed by the name of martokayev. which

putin cannot pronounce, and it was not for nothing that he proposed in the fall to hold early presidential elections. he made such a statement in his message to the people, and the next presidential election in kazakhstan was scheduled for 2024 , and in addition, torkayev proposed to introduce amendments to the constitution of kazakhstan in order to increase the presidential term from five to seven years and at the same time to prohibit re-questioning. it is also interesting that the president of kazakhstan announced an amnesty for the participants of the january protests. do you remember these vivid shots that we watched? but i think that e- the whole world, at least the region, was definitely also watching . this in the city will not affect people who are accused of organizing riots, as he says, as well as treason and an attempt to force

a change of power in the country. i translate from russian i'm sorry, i'm doing it as quickly as i can , yes, and we're bringing maria galatiem into the conversation, she's a balkanist, we're talking about the situation in serbia, kosovo, they are in general, maybe we'll talk about the situation in the balkans, miss maria, we congratulate you. u-turn of the student and serbia from a completely pro-russian position to such a position that is already, well, definitely not completely pro-russian and in the matter of providing energy carriers well, you know, this is the starting point, obviously, the conflict that arose between kosovo, well, in the south of serbia, between kosovo and serbia, and there were talks, i understand that there were serious talks with the western countries, which are the guarantors

of kosovo. well, after that, somehow everything went downhill. how would you comment on that, how would you explain it to sleep i think that the reason is not that samvuchich is not completely pro-russian, or i would even say that russia's problem is that, with it, being a partner and friend is already becoming very dangerous for other countries because, as you already said on the air about kazakhstan, we can to say that recently, certain changes are also taking place from friendship with russia to non-friendship, the same is happening with serbia, serbia is very eager to be a part of the eu, and i think that this position is actually, what a change, a change in the attitude of the student himself. to russia and reaching agreements with the authorities of kosovo regarding the entry documents of

kosovar citizens or citizens of kosovo. those who leave for serbia are in fact the agreement and probably the promises of the west, in particular the european union, to facilitate the acceleration of the european european future or the inclusion of kosovo and serbia in the eu because if we look at these statements made by both borel and the representative of the usa in the balkans, they say that it is necessary to stop talking about serbia and and it is necessary to start talking about serbia and kosovo is europe . well, i will remind our viewers that on september 1, the republic of kosovo planned to ban the use of serbian documents and car number plates for its citizens. this was already the second such attempt in belgrade. took over a very sharp threat to provide the kosovo serbs with even force protection and the conflict

could have started on this ground even a month ago but after the consultation of the usa and the european union in kosovo, they took a one-month break, serbia, meanwhile, hung up on the border with kosovo, and the explanations are issued more precisely they recognize the document, the documents, and not independence, ms. maria, in your opinion, this is an attempt to simply postpone the worst possible course of events for later, or will it flare up again, and under what conditions do you know, i tend to think that the conflict is not there will be no conflict if this conflict is not fueled by russia, in particular, if russia is not, it will not take advantage of this situation and will not rock the situation in the balkans, because back in the balkans, there is still an issue between kosovo and serbia, in particular this applies to license plates. as we know, this is an agreement that

was reached in brussels between the teacher and the prime minister of kosovo, it only applies to documents, i.e. that when the kosovars enter the territory of serbia, they will not be issued entry cards documents, because before that serbia did not recognize documents issued by kosovo. at the same time, there are already many kosovar serbs in kosovo, especially those who live in the south. they have double documents, that is, they have documents issued by serbia and issued by kosovo. in fact, the problem that concerns serbian documents only concerns of the serbs who live in the north of kosovo, now the issue of such documents has been resolved, that is, serbia has actually agreed to accept these documents, and so she says that we do not recognize an independent way because for the serbs themselves internally. it will be a very negative decision if they recognize the independence of the method and even this document that they have reached now is causing criticism within the government

, that is, in order not to disturb the situation. they are trying, let's say, not to move too sharply and too quickly , so as not to cause the same dissatisfaction inside serbia, but buchac said before that that they signed a contract with russia for the supply of gas and that it was important for them, because if they paid a higher price for russian gas, then it would simply make the economy transparent serbia, and then a few days ago he announced that serbia should pay the price for the war on the european continent, that they will not have enough gas from the russian federation, with whom they managed to come to an agreement. e is on the side of good and will not play the role of e putin. i am not saying the agent of such a friend of putin in europe, please, as far as i understand e support and financial e-e and economic support in the development of the country,

in particular energy and other areas, was promised as by the european union and the united states, respectively, serbia has received promises that it will develop and if it does not comply with russia's wishes, it will have resources provided, plus there will be enough funding to develop the country and as far as i i understand from the words of escobar - this is a man of the usa back with sticks in the balkans. he said that if both sides do not go to the conflict, then they will have the opportunity to develop all sectors of the economy and also create various agreements among themselves in order to improve cooperation and move towards the eu. i already asked, you know. well, you know exactly that . the balkans are a territory where there are many such

frozen or smoldering conflicts that can flare up at any moment . what is frozen, but in which case it can flare up again. are there currently such fires that can flare up and russia can always contribute to this? we understand perfectly. will they agree sooner rather than later among themselves, than they will listen well, than they will respond to provocations from the russian federation, you know, when there is a conflict on the territory, whether it is frozen or active, there is always such a threat, now i see two critical points, the first is kosovo, where there are a lot of misunderstandings and a lot of things that have not been resolved , there is still a second point - this is bosnia and herzegovina, whose political structure is very weak, because in fact its government is formed with three

representatives three nationalities are serbs croats, as well as the vesniaks, the vesniaks are either serbs or croats who accepted islam, and these three peoples actually did not achieve this reconciliation after this difficult war. that is, there is no normal communication between these narona and peoples, there is no normal political mutual understanding and cooperation, and often - many people evaluate it as a very shaky system that can be used in any outbreak and a conflict can ignite there , i.e. russia, which influences the leader of the posvoi serbs and they have good relations. it can to provoke some things that are at least possible, it will not be such a conflict as or something similar to a war in ukraine, but it can be like this, not with such instability, which will greatly worry europe and distract attention from ukraine, i have one more

short question, if possible of all the countries of yugoslavia, only two of them, croatia and slovenia, are members of the european union, and now we see that the european union focused on expanding at the expense of ukraine in the future, we believe everything well, somehow , the baltic countries also believe that they will become members of the european union well, it is possible in the future and how nato will react to this in the balkans and whether well, because there were dissatisfactions expressed in the student, what in particular regarding the european union he said that what is necessary for the war to take place on your territory so that you have prospects of joining the eu or until now, reacting to themselves, they also resigned themselves here and understand that they have to wait and, well, achieve some of the criteria of the european union, in fact, that's all, and european integration is very difficult for the balkans, because serbia and in general the balkan countries could integrate into the european union even before the existence of its slavia, and only the war pulled them away from

european integration now. of course, there are countries that became eu members a long time ago, and they deservedly became eu members because they were economically strong enough for two the strongest economic republics of the former yugoslavia e at the same time, what i see now is that serbia is using this situation with kosovo with a potential escalation in kosovo in order to continue negotiations for eu accession and me so it seems that at least according to the statements made by the european rail union, in particular, that in fact they managed to use this moment and they have a chance to integrate into the eu through an accelerated process. now, i would like to pay attention to the message from the main the ukrainian intelligence agency, the ukrainian peninsula of crimea is known for its autumn velvet season, so we ask all residents to urgently inform us of the most popular places to visit, namely the exact location

of deployment points and residential addresses of the occupying forces, it is desirable to geo-link with the coordinates of the residence of the leadership of the occupying forces, it is desirable to link it with the coordinates of the location and the routes of the movement of military equipment, accurate local data of collaborators who went over to the side of the enemy, with the addresses of residence and location of persons who sympathize with the occupiers and other supporters of the occupying power literally the day before yesterday, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, called on crimeans to stay away from military facilities for their own purposes security and yesterday, during his address, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, thanked our people , in particular, in crimea, for providing the information so necessary for the ukrainian army, mrs. maria, how exactly does this correlate with our conversation with you? very often, when the russian federation talks about crimea, the case of kosovo and serbia hurts. so why is it wrong, why is it not the methodology

that should be used at all when we consider uh, well, hmm, stories with local conflicts. well, first of all, let's talk about why why kosovo became independent and xhosa became independent because the serbian army actually started ethnic cleansing in kosovo and a lot of people died and after that the international community began to react to this situation and it ended with the bombing of laminate services and then the introduction of peacekeeping troops in the territory of kosovo and the declaration of independence, that is, in fact, the people who lived on the spit in the territory of kosovo would not be able to live with the aggressor state any longer, given the number of people killed in the territory kosovo what happened in crimea happened with crimea

that russia actually seized crimea. that is, these are completely different different things and it cannot be considered a comparison. moreover, if we say that we are comparing kosovo and crimea, the russians like kosovo to belong to it. well, i mean when we are talking about crimea and kosovo, then kosovo was part of serbia. when the war started and then it was separated, but after such things happened that could not be welded into the situation with crimea, crimea was captured. that is, part of it was captured the territory of another independent country, and that's all the difference. thank you, ms. maria, for this inclusion . maria geletii, a balkanist, was in touch with us and explained some things concerning serbia and kosovo. i will remind you that on september 1, a

new round could begin. we will have a lot of discussions between serbia and kosovo, but we see what has happened, they may not be satisfied with this, except that in moscow i am voicing the information as one. well, it seems to me that it is important in the war against russia, a british citizen of the military medic died in ukraine craig makin, who came to fight in ukraine, treat our soldiers, support us, and now his family is collecting funds to bring his body back home, writes his sister, lorna makin. sky news reports on this. i will only say one thing. i think that the people who today there are those in power who have budget funds. well, after all, they should somehow help. in this story, they are transporting the bodies of dead foreigners who fought for ukraine without collecting funds for their transportation home. i think that this is not such a large amount of money, and for sure we should at least this is to thank these people who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country, which is far from great britain. there are many problems related to foreigners who came to help us protect our freedom

, for example, the situation with visas, the situation with the extension of these visas, many of them, well , in fact, now they leave in they cannot leave the war zone in order to carry out the purely bureaucratic procedures necessary to extend their stay on the territory of our country, and there are already many of them, and i also have among my acquaintances of cases that indicate that something must be done with this system by mistake, we will be back literally in 10 minutes 12:00 a-ah news from angelika season just now angelika congratulations we invite you to the floor i congratulate you colleagues thank you very much it just became known that they fired heavily at the temporarily occupied energodar as well
