i did not see it, but belarus and its current leadership, i.e. this state and the self-proclaimed president lukashenko, and we have diplomatic relations with belarus, and we conduct foreign economic activities from this state, although this state acted as a springboard for the russian federation's attack on ukraine, in what way it is possible to correct volodymyr, and is it not too late already? well, it is difficult for me to judge here, you know, regarding the break in diplomatic relations with belarus - this is a painful issue. well, the point is that uh, you know belarus is not only lukashenko, but you, uh, you are right , after the territory of this country actually became a plasma for aggression against ukraine. well, there are no more questions. well, you know, lukashenko , with his actions for 20 or more years,

has completely driven him the country is in a dead end and he will have to pay for it, and of course he personally , but unfortunately for the belarusian people, because the sanctions that will be in belarus now are in effect, it is clear that they do not add anything positive , but at the same time, you know, well, all my respect to of the belarusian opposition, but i don't see something like that recently, there is a lot of activity there, so, well , the country must be responsible and the citizens of the country also for what is done by the leadership, just as the russians must be responsible for putin's actions, so it's not only putin, we know about the fact that there are 90 or 80, it may be less, but a lot of % support everyone, well, regarding belarus, i do not know

any data from any similar polls, but i think that there is, at least, such neutrality, that is, people do not express their active position and those the protests that began actively there after tymoshenko's so-called speech somehow died down. two years have passed since those protests took place, but the people did not go anywhere. i hope that some belarusians are also ready to come out and fight for their future this time, i don't want to provoke anyone to anything, you know, this will be an interference in the internal affairs of belarus, we have to respect this country, it is our neighbor, we should live next to it. no, but none the less, hmm, i think that we have to draw certain conclusions at least for the future, i am not talking about the atlantic relations. well, these ends are not somehow a panacea for all years, but what conclusions hmm of such a

strategic far eastern nature should we draw from this eh well, you know what to do with the same ukrainian under belarusian control, we always believed that this was a peaceful border so that nothing military would ever happen there, and lukashenko repeatedly stated that it never resembles a belarusian soldier there, never stop. this border will never become a poor border there, and so on, but unfortunately, all this happened. maybe even the belarusian troops did not cross this border, but the blue shelling and the russian planes in general. well, ukraine, you know how the russians turned the crimea into a floating aircraft carrier, that’s exactly the same way they turned belarus into a huge military base of their russian i liked the speech of

mr. danilov, our chairman of the national security and defense council, who recently said in an interview that, to me, belarus has long had no state sovereignty as a country . unfortunately, this is true. unfortunately, it is really unfortunate. friends, we are working live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our social platforms on youtube and facebook. if you are watching us live now, please like our video and subscribe to our social networks . we are everywhere, we are also working on telegram and twitter on facebook and instagram, mmm, well, in addition, read our news on the espresso tv website, we are working on the air with the diplomat, former permanent representative of ukraine to the un, volodymyr melchenko, and we are talking about the situation that is developing around

of ukraine and, in general, in the world in connection with russian aggression against ukraine just a few days ago, when ukraine achieved significant success in the counteroffensive and in kharkiv oblast, russia responded with strikes on critical infrastructure in kharkiv tes-5 e-e part of kharkiv oblast sumy poltava dnipropetrovsk remained without power, but then they fixed it. thank god our energy workers, but what is mr. zelenskyy saying? he is talking about the fact that russia is afraid that ukraine will help europe with its own electricity, and that is why these missile strikes were launched against power plants and other objects of the energy sector are related to this, we know that russia is blackmailing europe in the cold winter , gas, electricity, oil, well, in short, it is doing it

so that there is an energy crisis in europe. yesterday and today, the russian army struck ukraine in a ukrainian energy infrastructure, hundreds of thousands of ukrainians found themselves without electricity, homes, hospitals, schools, communal infrastructure, russian missiles hit exactly to those objects that have absolutely nothing to do with the infrastructure of the armed forces of our country, on the one hand, this is a sign from those who invented this war, this is how they react to the defeat of russian forces in the kharkiv region, they cannot do anything with our heroes on the battlefield and therefore russia is directing its vile strikes against civilian infrastructure on the other hand russia

is trying to prevent us from channeling ukraine's capabilities so as to stabilize the situation in europe our electricity exports are what russia is now very afraid because we can break the russian plans to empty the pockets of europeans this winter at the expense of crazy energy prices, mr. volodymyr, obviously putin's calculation is quite simple during this winter to show the europeans that the sanctions that were introduced against russia by the leaders of the european union member states they were wrong and to force the leaders of their countries to change this decision, because we see that even before the beginning of the heating season, large protests inspired by the russian federation in the czech republic in germany and other countries of the european union, the goal is quite simple: to destabilize the situation

within the european union, to force citizens to protest against the leadership of the current governments and presidents of countries. do you think that the european union and the leaders of individual countries will be able to resist these protests, the probable protests that will be obvious to increase er and where is the golden mean when you choose your political future , it is clear that voters are forming the political future and some fundamental points regarding general security regarding the general development of the world. well, in the context of the russian-ukrainian war, i have no doubt that europe will survive this winter and no putin's blackmail will affect the behavior of

european countries. we know that the next one is already being considered first. the package of sanctions of the soviet union, which includes such an important issue as the establishment of maximum prices for energy, that is, for gas, that is, for oil, not electricity , with the help of the state, of course, from state budgets, and i think this will be done secondly as far as i understand the gas reserves in the european, french, and western ukrainian countries, they are somewhere up to 80% of the norm, that is, this is already enough. i am certainly not an energy expert, but what i have heard suggests that this is enough to normally let go of this topic. well, there is a lot more alternative and american chartered gas, there is middle eastern gas, there is norway and so on and so

on. i am sure that the european union is such a strong organization that they have already thought and predicted all this and all this will happen over time done like this that nothing will come of it after that time. the soviet union actually built all those oil pipelines there . friendship, all kinds of gas pipelines there, through the territory of ukraine to western europe . and until how long did it work, that is, the soviets sold these raw materials and in return received everything he needed there, food, food, etc., some of them are in the state, the cars, and so on, airplanes, eh, here is putin. he decided to repeat this model and that's basically everything and worked somewhere there since 2000, well,

literally, until the last years, but finally, including that, we reached the western repeitsi in the sense that the northern stream-2 it was a mistake that the political er-e purely tools, no energy, that you can't live, you know everything life on cheap russian gas. unfortunately, we also went through it sooner and became convinced that such a thing cannot and should not happen. well, now it is already reaching the western ukrainian tables, it is nothing. and they are wonderful they understand if i think that there will never be a return to the fact that when i was little there everything was on fire, uh, it was swaying and going in a neighboring stream there to germany to france to italy to other people, it will no longer be there, i think that they have thought it all through and that's it it is

foreseen and everything will be fine for us. we should not be afraid of it. well, do you know the economic price or the financial price that must be borne in order for it to be, unfortunately, it is, and i think that the main thing is that western european politicians and governments and heads of state, well, the population , have already understood this not to the end yet it is clear that they are used to living in compote conditions and that is normal, but that war in which ukraine stands in russia and actually defends not only itself and who knows what further plans russia had . marginal parties in western european countries that are still living with this russian er-e karative i think that they will also disappear over time, it's not the majority and if russia doesn't

do anything, it won't be able to break this situation, it was better not to start this war and that's fine live a peaceful life but they made their choice in this year, unfortunately for us, you know such a tragic choice for us, and now they have to suffer punishment and pay the price for it, well, by the way , russia's ambassador to the european union, volodymyr chizhov , will leave brussels in the near future, he worked for this in the position of 17 years in his comment or that he believes that russian-european relations are emotional now in a crisis and in the future they will transform into more pragmatic ones let's hear chizhov the state of russian relations in odessa is such

and such, but i think that sooner or later, common sense will still take over the current emotions, it means that relations will never return to the state that existed before the current crisis development, this will be -е может быть более а-а pragmatic relations will be oriented to a specific result and to a greater extent than to loud slogans and mutual wishes. vladimir, we see the interpretation of russian diplomats. although i do not know is it even possible to talk about the existence of russian diplomacy as such since 2014 , because we quite often hear what is not

being said, what lavrov is saying, what the spokesmen of the ministry of foreign affairs of the russian federation are saying. is there still such an institution , such an institution in russia as diplomacy ? run of ideas yes, but in reality, you know, diplomacy should always be aimed at creation at construction, and russian diplomacy in recent years has been directed at only one goal at destruction, starting with destruction of the collective security system, which worked more or less effectively both in europe and in the world, and now it is no longer working, as we said at the beginning of our story. so, ending the destruction of everything and everything in ukraine, and the reluctance to listen to the arguments of its partners. on the other side of the table, you can't

plan for me to work like that. she works on negotiations on dialogue, not ultimatums, eh, and we hear and have heard only surrender ultimatums, they are already there, i don't even want to mention demilitarization, 11 identification of ukraine, it's all kind of delusional, by the way, about it's no one anymore by the way, i advised mr. chyzhov, instead of talking to journalists about the otaki district, it is beautiful, to read the comments of his colleagues in brussels about the results of his work, here is a man, a representative of russia, came and brought there for more than 15 years, and his colleagues said that he is completely destroyed everything that was created before him. bearing in mind the relations between the russian federation and the european union, it is clear that this is

his personal problem. he will be elected there because of how he successfully destroyed these relations later in the 15th century, when we talk about the relations between the west and russia, of course we are talking about mr. volodymyr and about ordinary russian citizens who go abroad. latvia, lithuania , estonia, poland, the czech republic, slovakia, denmark, belgium, and the netherlands no longer accept documents for tourist visas from russians, well , at least that's how the message appeared. putin against ukraine regarding the fact that the so-called special military operation is supported in all regions of the russian federation, according to your

observations and according to your feelings, will the citizens of the russian federation feel this discomfort that they will now have when crossing the borders with the european union and whether they it's just the usual reaction of russia that we haven't lived long and we won't start. well, we haven't gone to europe yet and we wo n't go. if i'm not mistaken, in russia, about 5-7% of russian citizens regularly travel to european countries, now this percentage will decrease, it seems to me that it will greatly affect the interests of those whose children study, for example, in western european countries, you know it is very good to sit on the couch and

talk about how we are at war with ukraine and defeating ukraine and the nazis and the bandera people. and at the same time, your children are studying in london, and you fly there once a month for two weeks to milan or paris for shopping well, you can go for chopping er, don't even take off, but go by car in a car , whether it's bilhorod or honrog. well, there are also shops there, you can buy everything there if they think that the sanctions don't work, let them buy there and add everything, but you know what's most impressive that in the list of countries that completely or significantly limit the issuance of tourist visas, it is not only the baltic countries and poland, for example , but also such as the netherlands, belgium, that is, those

countries that, if they were not sympathetic to russia, at least had such a positive attitude even and in these countries there is already an understanding of what a russian is. well, this is not yet a monkey with a grenade, he confirmed everything, but here is the latest case, for example , when a ukrainian woman with a child was brutally beaten by two russian tourists, it seems, because she was listening to ukrainian on the phone music here are the faces of a russian tourist. here's what i think i'll feel. you know, you don't need to downplay it. those who have never traveled abroad will understand today . take an interview there on the streets of moscow or taganrov, and there they will tell me that i have never

been there and i don't want to be here. well , well, russia is turning itself into such a huge north korea at a confident pace, and it is such will succeed in everything, i am absolutely sure of this, mr. volodymyr, at the end of our program, i wanted to ask you about how the weakness of putin, in particular, the defeat of the russian army in ukraine, will affect the entire soviet space, why i am asking this because this night , fighting broke out on the border of armenia and azerbaijan, but as reported by the russian propaganda channels, putin intervened and agreed that everything would be fine there, he appealed to russia as a member of the dkb of armenia , members of the dkb to intervene in this situation

putin's weakness or maybe this is to start irreversible processes, as a result of which, as in the times of the collapse of the soviet union, some uncontrollable actions will begin, which russia will not be able to influence, the same conflicting language of karabasi is sure about mediation can go somewhere if it is bogged down in ukraine and everyone sees the actions in our country, you know, putin destroys with his own hands in russia, i would say the leadership role in russia, well, at least in the space of the country there is no mention of russia's leadership there, first of all , you already have the resources, there is nothing like that odkb, that's kb, that's russia, well, there's a little bit of belarus, there's also a

little bit of kazakhstan. nothing to do in the post-soviet space eh i think so over time, more and more countries will move further or further away from russia, we are carefully watching the position of kazakhstan regarding the president's statements about sanctions, about the fact that they will never recognize where it is not the lpr that sanctions are sacred and that they cannot be violated, that is even such countries, and in kazakhstan, by the way, the border with russia is even longer than ours, and armenia, which relied on russia, should also think about it. well, if it is an ally, then at least as an intermediary, it can no longer do this with many other countries, except this ukrainian women, let's say in central asia , the authority and influence of china is constantly growing there, that is,

russia with her own hands. well, the fact that she has quarreled with ukraine for many generations is already clear, it is already a fact. but i think that the same thing will happen with others. even with those countries where, of course, the vast majority of the population still considered russia to be their natural ally or a country so positive that it could be compared to, and what is there to compare to today, everything is completely lost, so how did they come up with this an adventure in the 14th year of the coffin that earlier they came up with but started 14 well, on february 24 it was already the last nail in my own difficult and i think that you know that in our lifetime we will see all these results thank you thank you mr. volodymyr for the conversation this was volodymyr yelchenko, a diplomat and

a former representative of ukraine in the organization of the united nations, also a former extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador to the united states of america of the ukrainian state. we talked with him about how the world reacts to the russian-ukrainian war about what prospects will it have for russia? what consequences will these military actions have on the territory of the ukrainian state? well, what awaits putin and his associates on the international stage, friends, if you are watching us online now, please like this video for that to promote it in youtube trends, and also do not forget to subscribe to our social networks. we are on facebook, instagram, twitter, and other platforms. read our news on the espresso tv website. we are here for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. week well, our telethon continues. i

that i was preparing for the program until this very morning and i have some questions, uh, i think about what to ask you, but then it happens something that i still put this question first, this is the first question. it wasn't there yesterday, but today, unfortunately, watch yesterday for our viewers. talk about which ones, although telegram channels are already talking about them and many cities will remain. well, maybe not very many, but there are cities that have remained and were disconnected from electricity and water supply for a certain time, that's it, yevhen, yesterday's shelling of these infrastructure objects of ukraine this is the reason to demand from the west now to recognize russia not just as a sponsor of terrorism, but as a terrorist country, because this is genocide, it is, of course,

a serious shelling and an attack on critical infrastructure on critical infrastructure objects , but not genocide, genocide is after all, such a purposeful destruction of people where the score is tens to hundreds of thousands, well, forgive me, but here you need to be clear and specific in the wording . russia's own weakness, their propagandists write that it struck in response to the shelling of the zaporizhia npp by ukrainian troops. that is, well for
