the soviet commonwealth at the moment, what is the mood of the commonwealth here, it is somewhat difficult. i think it is difficult to predict some kind of prosperity, because it seems to me that elizaveta the second did a lot to strengthen the commonwealth, when she only went on the transport of friendship, it seems to me that there were seven countries , now there are 56 countries. if i i'm not mistaken, because there are also countries that join, leave again and join at the moment, as far as i remember, a few years ago, the australian prime minister declared that the country would remain in its accuracy until the throne of elizaveta well, let's see now, there may be first-priority countries where the king will come, or can ukraine enter the british commonwealth if the entrance there is open to everyone. that's how i understand it . the student commonwealth is an international organization that unites countries that are trying to

develop democracy. this is not a military alliance. - a political alliance, i think that if ukraine is interested in joining the commonwealth , such negotiations can go through. are there any obstacles for ukraine to join ? unfortunately, i can’t say. but to be honest, i’ve never considered such a possibility, but i think it’s interesting. maybe i’ll think about it myself, but for entering the british commonwealth, you don’t need to recognize the protectorate of the british crown. i understand correctly, no, no, well, you said that the monarch they rarely comment on political issues, but the new one, how is it not so appointed, the new king has already said that we stand in solidarity with all those who resist aggressive aggression, according to the prince, well, he was still a prince then, this is an open attack on democracy society for freedom itself in relation to the war in ukraine

, but based on this quote, you can already make some predictions for the future. vector of britain in relation to ukraine. you are talking about whether these words of the monarch will affect the vector that is in britain in relation to ukraine. i think that the words of the monarch currently confirm that this vector will be unchanged. i would say that the words of the monarchs may not be decisive in this matter, but they certainly will not hinder from the point of view of supporting the country the efforts that ukraine is making today in order to defend its independence and freedom of one's own actions, yes, yes, i already wanted to talk about illustrations, yes, please, registration . that the chandelier said

that she will build a new architecture and political economic military security in this position and will look for new geopolitical alliances , build them with countries not only with ukraine, but with the countries of the pacific region and latin america, africa, that is, there was already such a claim to be the world leader, but if he is number one on the world map, yes, then he is definitely not number two, which in fact britain is there, it probably shares second and third place with the european union at the current moment, what surprised you the most in this fact there are triple, not triple speeches, i am asking for the prime minister's speeches of the new head of the british government. i would say that this is enough, the expected development of events and the development of the role that the government perceives for itself or the task that the government undertakes britain, because after brexit, after

the vote to keep, this happened in 2016. the process of formalizing britain’s exit from the european union lasted for several years. it finally happened, but the actual implementation of this brexit agreement was only a tool. jones and boris johnson were just that example of britain. and ensured the recognition by the political class of the country of the advantages of britain leaving the european union and gaining independence in at least its actions at the international level, and precisely the support of britain in the war from ukraine with russia, as well as the efforts of britain, which were made for the formation of an anti-russian coalition in the world, but they just proved that britain not only received this freedom of action, but also did not fully use it now for forest roads. i think that the

next challenge is absolutely logical, i.e. already when the brexit agreement is drawn up and when there is political agreement. let's say this within the country, regarding the success of this issue, the prophet of the question, further this success must be developed. i am absolutely sure that britain will also look for new formats partnership so that the issue will look for new approaches. this country that never stops for its own russia, as you know, i have been in britain for a long time, for more than 5 years, this year there was a pandemic project, exit from the european union, in fact the formation of this international coalition in support of ukraine or there efforts what did britain do about this? i constantly see that the country does not stop for a minute. i am sure that it is not going to stop at the moment, but look at how

rapidly events are developing. johnson was here. the queen is literally there two days after the appointment of the new prime minister and the king is already there, that is, everything is changing so quickly, will the internal political situation change radically, or now? otsi schalke weights now p vitaly, in the case of scotland, please also note that because in scotland there, too, the centrifugal movements from the imperial one are also strong enough, ah, you have very interesting questions and it feels like you are following the events that are happening in britain, it is enough to strongly and deeply understand what is happening here. i would say yes, let's do this first with regard to the british monarchy, even taking into account the fact that charles may not be as charismatic as elizabeth ii and

he is already 70 from 6 or 73, i don't remember i know exactly the years and maybe he is as active as he is. but the british monarchy has a very important advantage in it eh or trump let's say they are so important they are hope because prince william who will take the throne after charles eh he is very similar to elizabeth ii in his images and in their approaches to interaction with the nation and with the light, and therefore i think that even if the love of the british for this monarchy will decrease a little now, i think that the prospects of the monarchy are still strong enough and i do not think that there can be talks at the moment about the abolition of this institution, especially since it is important enough for the british, it is one of those on various stones of british life. i am not sure that the british are ready

to give it up so quickly and simply in relation to scotland. i think that this issue is more than the one in on the political level, the queen did not comment on scotland's attempts to leave the united kingdom, i don't think that charles will do it either, it's more a matter of negotiations between the government of scotland and the government of great britain, but just so that you understand the nature. yes, indeed, britain has its own parliament, which is for -e are valid questions that i am considering, but these are more questions, for example, health care or education questions, that is, questions that do not concern, for example, the security of the general kingdom or do not concern emigration or does not apply to the question of the police there does not apply to issues of international relations, but when in

1707 scotland joined the e-e union with great britain and the agreement on the united kingdom was formed, then part of scotland received seats in the british parliament, that is why i am today the question arises that edinburgh cannot hold referendums without the consent of london precisely because they have the representation of mr. vitaly . it turns out that not only ukrainians are worried about payments , but british people too, well, if the energy crisis covered everyone here, eh, will it be possible to level this situation according to her promises, this is also yes, a very serious challenge, i would therefore for liz the tracks. i thought that he could also to influence

britain's position in foreign relations, because one of the questions raised against boris johnson is that despite the absolutely excellent foreign policy that britain pursued during his tenure, the british felt that he did not deserve respect assigns internal what er things to britain and now for lustras just a challenge not to do it or she will do it or she won't do it it's hard to predict now i think she will make every possible effort to make it happen after all and for that to happen and she has now proposed literally three days ago a new plan in which she wants to try to curb the rise in british utility bills on the one hand the most vulnerable households

receive direct financial assistance from the government during the winter, on the other hand, she promised that during the next 2 years they will put a limit on e-e expenses for communal services for this economy in britain. scotland has gone a little different way. scotland has so far made a decision, for example, on freezing rents . these are here in britain. of course they will try to transfer these costs to the tenants and this question is what they are trying to decide in this way whether it will be successful, it is unclear, but for now according to the listras plan it is expected that utility services will become more expensive, but they will become more expensive, at least not three times as it was, as it was in the forecasts. well, let's see, are there still subsidies, or will there be? yes, mr. italy, they promise those households that are located and receive a benefit

. this is help from the state. they they promise them additional financial assistance, it seems to me about 400 pounds, if i'm not mistaken, for the heating season . and vitaliy bayev told us, a lawyer, head of international projects directly from london, what i like most is the gender equality that is observed. did you notice igor? yes, i have 400 pounds to support household activities. the queen and the prime minister were now the king and prime minister of great britain. britain is saying goodbye to its queen a in parallel with that, king charles iii or charles iii as he is called at the beginning of his powers, then i already wrote then the president of russia and he should be called waldemarck the second

elizabeth, he called her we called elizaveta and she is called correctly because she cannot be two elizabeths and queens in the country prime minister that's why they named him call this forest now elizabeth can be called taras the path the queen gave water yes well bright memory to the queen she is a person an era that will always remain with us in history in these videos, she drives a car during the second world war, this is really a queen, a queen who was with her people during the war. that is why it is such a great symbol of the nation, an indicator not only of the nation, but a symbol of the ruler of his people in general, we will move on oleksiy haran, scientific director of the foundation for democratic initiatives named after yaka kuchereva, professor of political science, and we welcome you mr. oleksiy , good day, thank you for the invitation, and professor, maybe we will continue the topic a little with you , how will you react to the previous one, here we are in ukraine, this

was the view from london and in ukraine, how do we see the change of the monarch and the change of the prime minister, or will the politics of britain change somehow? will everything remain as it was, and britain will remain the first one of the first friends for ukraine? well it seems to me that you know we have been talking a lot lately about elizabeth and her role , but still, change, change, monarch, she does not weigh so much in this system, but there will be some individual nuances, something in terms of style can change and so on , the key thing is that policy is made at the level of the parliament of the government, and in this sense, the politics of the country, well, it looks like the policy of great britain will not change, by the way. noticed that there

were no reports of this event until completion even the location of this event was kept secret. i think that these people knew everything, but still it was kept as a secret, and messages already began to be printed after its completion, that is, after ten o'clock in the evening. that is , there was such a delegation of parliamentarians there from great britain and there were representatives of four uh british parties there and well if they all supported ukraine and i think that it is very that it is very eh that it is very important yes because earlier, let's say there, the labor party could afford some such and such appeals there to the dialogue with russia and so on, the war has all changed, that's why i think that the policy of great britain will not change, and here we have to say that great britain is really

our strategic ally and good for the exit. and after brexit, very important agreements were signed and well , here in this direction ugh, it means uh, it's problematic to look at, but the nearest problems that can affect us, let's say, on the united western front, are elections, early elections in italy, where a center-right coalition of three parties may come to power, and there are fears that somehow this may affect the position of the italians in the same way as the midterm elections in the united states where the congress will be completely re-elected and a third of the senate will be re-elected and, well, usually in the mid-term elections the position has certain chances and

the position now is the republicans because that they criticize the current government. and we know that criticizing the government is a fertile niche. so, one of the negative forecasts is that the republicans can get a majority in the house of representatives in the senate. as we know, there are 50 per 50 but since the senate is headed by the vice-president, the democrats have a slight advantage there, that is, it seems that there is no change in the schedule. but there is such a possibility, and let's be honest. putin always expects that in the elections in western countries, people will come to power who will be less supportive of ukraine and more prone to compromises, that is, now these are the intermediate points we expect, these are the elections in

italy, the early and midterm elections to the bicameral american congress. well, in this context, i would like to quote us from the presidency zelenskyi from his speech on e-e on the eu on the european altar that we will appeal to society to society that is, we know that in this direction of just such public diplomacy he turned out to be strong enough for ukrainian diplomats in general thank you well, i wanted one more quote don't read quote i'm sorry for volodymyr zelensky's tautology, returning to the yalta economic strategy that took place the day before, zelenskyi said regarding russia that negotiations with russia are currently impossible, he emphasized that there are currently no negotiations with the russian federation regarding ending the war is impossible because the russian side cannot formulate any adequate

positions, he said this just at the 17th meeting of the yalta european strategy we want to end the war quote but the space coma of possibilities has changed society does not want to talk to terrorists although even terrorists can be talked to because they know what they want, he emphasized that in the case of the russian side there is no certainty that they will receive their promises quote i believe that they will not, no one believes they are not shaking hands, zelensky said that whatever we could open a diplomatic corridor with them. they have to show the political will that they are ready to give back someone else's land, then we can talk about at least some corridors that open certain diplomatic steps. do you remember creating these working groups? rahamii flew to the belarusian border . there they agreed on something, what caused such

a tough position, and how do you evaluate it? we are not negotiating until the surrender is complete, and we are not negotiating whether the position can change in perspective, please look at our position, there is no follower, he told us, he was discussing if there were different options, in fact, the whole session was devoted to that and what is there, what do you understand by our victory? i have to be. well, we will have to look, so look , there were really harsh statements by zelenskyi, and by defense minister varshikov, and even yermak, who said no, no, no, we are not giving up on nato, the statements are really so radical. well, no. radical but so tough. yes. what is it connected with ? i think the first moment is after all with the successes of the ukrainian army, yes, and actually the

offensive. russians who changed international opinion. that is, it allows us to take a more decisive position in the negotiations, but we will see how it develops , because it is obvious that a lot depends here. by the way, on the position of our western allies, because we understand that without military aid, without financial aid, we would not have been able to do any of this, we could not do it, i understand these statements that there would be no negotiations until the russians leave . will there be any tasks through third parties at which and at some stage it will be necessary to conduct negotiations even about the

withdrawal of russian troops or the situation around the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant or the posernoy agreement, we see that contacts are taking place here, although they are very limited we remember how this grain agreement was formally signed, the representatives of ukraine and russia did not even meet at the signing, but it is obvious that all by the way, talks were held, including between ukrainians and russians through the mediation of third third parties, therefore the fact itself will cause so or negotiate there through the third party, i don't see any kind of betrayal in this, but the main thing is under what conditions that our principle conditions remain, but i say again here that it is very, very important the position of the position of the supply of weapons to our western partners. i think that if rammstein had also strengthened our position, by the way, one of the topics that was periodically mentioned in the

vision of yura pianistretji was that we need assets, we and our allies need to work more actively in the so-called global south global souls, and that is, what india is like now is trying to take advantage of the situation when there is cheaper russian oil and they are trying to buy it, and then minister koliba said that in fact the indians should forget that they owe the ukrainian army, which is fighting on the battlefield, to restrain to our western allies who have accepted sanctions against russia, so that as a result of this russia is so weakened that it gives this oil to india cheaper.

elements that well, there are chips and so on, i am not talking about the elements of weapons that can be used in russia but not only these countries are very active, a very active position should now be carried out from brazil, the middle east and african countries in that including south africa and indonesia, and the russian recitation itself is very active there. by the way, these countries have different voting and voting procedures, these countries supported the ukrainian position, brazil and intentions, and these received european ones. vector wanted to ask you the day before, the president of the republic of latvia was in kyiv. the head of the european state who spent the night in kyiv after the beginning of the armed aggression of the great russian invasion of ukraine with a working visit and he made several statements regarding the accession

of ukraine to the european union full-fledged, in particular, a quote ukraine not only politically and culturally belongs to the european family, but also should be a member of the eu, because the european union is a union of free democratic countries, we are doing everything to ensure the start of accession negotiations, this is latvia, our task is to go ahead and start negotiations, the process of ukraine's accession to the eu, said levitz at a press conference with president zelenskyi and the prime minister of poland and mateusz moravetskyi , it was in the capital the day before yesterday. has it changed or our positions have changed now, not only regarding military accession to nato, for example , or regarding negotiations with russia, but also our positions since the beginning of these military actions, the first failures of ukraine, and regarding accession to the european union, not only the acquisition of candidate status, but also full membership say the leaders of the eu countries today, please. by the way, i would like to say that the president of latvia and the prime minister of poland were also

at this conference, and the president of latvia sat through this conference for two days. is, if it is an indicator of uva-, well, an indicator of e-e, look at the conference, it was heard again and our president spoke about it, that he gave in the plans of ukraine to start negotiations on accession. yes, this is an ambitious prospect, but here , to a large extent, i think it depends on us as far as we can show that if we had fulfilled these well these are not conditions if but well these let's say it was a diplomatic wish when the european union when ukraine received the status of a candidate we know that something has already been fulfilled means that the elected head of the sap was approved according to by the results of this competition eh i think we will fulfill these conditions for the start of eh negotiations whether

they will start or not well that is another question, including to our western partners from a symbolic point of view i think it would be important but we have to understand that the beginning of the negotiations does not mean that it does not mean the actual accession, the negotiations will last a long time. let's hope that they will be successful, but then again, let's move like this, we are moving, gradually completing certain tasks, just like our army moves gradually he was recapturing ukrainian cities and villages and this is not always done, you know forever, it is announced in the press immediately and on the diplomatic front, because this is not some one monetary victory, it is a very big and difficult work , but i would like to emphasize here that both the

government and the opposition and civil society and experts are working on this. we all work here, and the media, like express express, we all work here at the same time, so your work is very important. kucherova and the professor of political science of the national university of kyiv-mohyla academy are informed that the russians launched a long-range missile attack on ukraine today, yuriy hnat, the spokesman for the air force, says that the data is being clarified . meanwhile, in kyiv, they continue to train drone operators with such skills that the military will be able to perform combat missions - this is reconnaissance , correction of fire and e strikes on the enemy, and our correspondents saw exactly how the training process takes place. this is an ordinary civilian drone

equipped with a video camera, it flies at a distance of up to 6 km, and it is possible to learn how to operate it in a week . such drones are used not only for shooting movies, but also for military purposes. the operator flies to the enemy’s position, measures his presence, estimates the amount of equipment, and then the fighters begin to destroy the russian occupiers when they could not reach the enemy and threw strings grenades eh explosives and this eh работает работает и менше потерье менеше потерые и больше эффекты with drones, the i-petri training center in kyiv took on this mission, now there are six students who in two weeks will be almost professional operators and instructors, in particular, they will be able to perform combat tasks, the first days were difficult to understand how the

vestibule is controlled, it was a little bad. well, there are no more difficulties this is a good simulator, so you can fly usually simple drones perform three functions: reconnaissance correction of fire and shock, the latter, for example, can carry projectiles and drop them on the enemy. what else can such a drone do to fly deeper into the rear of the enemy, i was able to fly and, accordingly, lower to him, the main thing for the operator is to be able to make decisions independently and to practice as much as possible for the pilot, the most important practice is the raid and it is clear that he is constantly improving his piloting skills, and theory is catching up with the pilot haters, or it goes together, that is, er , pollen
