let's start mr. volodymyr with the hottest news of world politics because the prime minister of great britain alice truss has announced her resignation as prime minister of great britain let's hear what she had to say i came into office at a time of great economic and international instability families and businesses were worried about how to pay their bills i cannot implement the mandate that was entrusted to me, i informed the king about my intention to resign , it must be said that she was the leader of the conservative party and the prime minister of great britain for 45 days, and it seems that she set a record because before her, the prime minister with the shortest term of service was george canning, who served

in this position for 119 days, and that was in 1827, mr. volodymyr, that with the resignation of liz tras , world politics and especially great britain's policy towards ukraine, if it changes. it seems to me that nothing changes in world politics, because the reasons and resignations are purely internal problems of unemployment, inflation , a high problem, e.e. in the field of health care, e.e. medical insurance and so on. well, plus prices on the energy carrier, unfortunately, she was not able to cope with this crazy internal pressure, but you know this is democracy, that's how democracy works in normal countries, no matter how unfortunate we are.

i have repeatedly expressed my support, but because i repeat , this is an internal issue of great britain, and they will deal with it. i am absolutely sure that this will not change anything . to those world processes that currently exist and are happening. so i think we can sleep peacefully, well, really, personally, it is an example for me because i voted from the very beginning that she will become the prime minister, but on it's a pity, apparently, those foreign policy priorities that she chose for herself, well, let's say, were not that important for the internal population of great britain, it can be understood that there are many problems in ukraine, well, as they say to us, there are problems , but nevertheless, we must respect this choice a the more it has just appeared information that there are

very real chances that boris johnson may return yes time writes this with reference to its sources that boris johnson may nominate his candidacy there is another candidate rishi sonata and favorite who was together with trans- 45 days ago and he will also fight for the position of the leader of great britain. britain still didn't know britain yet, the memorable fairy tale on the tank, the catastrophic illiteracy and the queen's funeral immediately after the audience got off the rails, well, that is, russia, uh, did not refrain from pricking, after all, it got off the rails, well, they didn't like

boris johnson, our great friend, friend of ukraine, well, obviously, obviously they will do and or comment on everything so that someone at the head of great britain becomes the one who will um negotiate at least with the russian federation if boris johnson returns to the position of prime minister great britain what does this mean for uh well it will only mean positive because he uh well no less than more tracks maybe and more he he was at all was was uh seems to be the first uh western leader who actually headed the this is a movement in support of ukraine, an international movement, and a movement for the strengthening of sanctions against the russian federation. well, in zakharov's place, i was misha. i asked the wall when, well, in another way, if it was possible for the minister of the russian federation to resign like this, and

for those problems, which, by the way, he already talked about today announced that they are already unfreezing the stabilization fund, which no one has touched for many years, and they are taking it from him to the left. that is, this is all-in-all, the sanctions have finally begun to operate according to the full program, yes, let it be we will ask the shulshchyna, and those are not going to be under the leadership, and he does not comment on the situation on these questions, but this one indicates everything is absolutely clear, we know the attitude of russia to england to the great uh, the question has roots there for a long time. well, let's remember the story with the newcomer from by poisoning some russian politicians have pensioners in great britain. so there is a kind of such a specific relationship there. so let her comment as she pleases, it will not change anything, that is exactly

how the republic of belarus declared the threat that exists, as it were, from the west, at the same time, our general staff says that the threat is growing the resumption of the offensive on the northern front of ukraine, that is, on the southwestern front of the republic of belarus , this was announced by the chief of the main operational department of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine

brigadier general oleksiy gromov let's hear gromov , the aggressive rhetoric of the military-political vassal is intensifying, the aggressive rhetoric of the military-political leadership of russia and belarus, which is accompanied by the deployment of the regional grouping of the troops of the so-called allied state, the threat of resumption of the offensive by the armed forces of the russian federation on the northern front, this time the direction of the offensive may be changed to the west of the belarusian-ukrainian border to cut the main logistical arteries for the supply of weapons and military equipment of ukraine from the partner countries so we have a rather difficult situation when for the second time in the last 8 months we can become an object or let's say

an object of attack from the republic of belarus it was on february 24, 2022 when the leadership of the republic of belarus convinced its colleagues in kyiv of the minister of defense, in particular, that no troops will go here from the side of belarus. well, now we have the same situation . relations with the republic of belarus, although everything seemed clear and obviously, you know, i don't have an answer to this question, well, i personally think that it should have been done a long time ago, but apparently there are certain considerations of the top management of our country, we wrote, there is not all the information, but i will say this. well, if we summarize this situation, we should

finally understand. he should have understood a long time ago that we have not been dealing with an independent state of belarus for a long time. in fact, the state will be occupied by the russian federation, that is, nothing there. the authorities of belarus do not decide, well, the only thing that lukashenko manages to do is to sneak in a little bit there and er to get out of responsibility from direct er answers or those tasks that putin sets before him, but we see that every day er and these opportunities er lukashenka is decreasing. so i think we just have to assume that this is not an independent state, our neighbor is asking for the territory occupied by the russian federation and, unfortunately, i am taking the handles of society, well, if it has not come to terms with it, then at least it is not doing anything to somehow fight well, the issue of diplomatic relations is a

politically correct issue, that is, it is decided at the level of the national security and defense council and the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine , the president of ukraine, well, it is not quite so according to the constitution of ukraine and the law, some laws that regulate the foreign policy of ukraine the proposal to establish or break the thematic relations is assigned by the minister of foreign affairs to the development of the president and has this decision , that is, the nsdc in this situation, well, it is clear that it can also to say the word the president should have every reason to submit any issues for consideration by the national security council, and it seems to me that at least it is time to do it . if there are any doubts. there are some reasons for which, for example, i don't know which ones you don't know, then perhaps

it should be discussed and at the level of the national security and defense council, but i repeat once again that you know, you can have relations with an independent country, and belarus, for example, is not such a country today, and that's why, um, well, in fact, we support one party, well, first of all, with the regime uh, which is headed by precisely the proclaimed president lukashenko eh and secondly, eh, we have these relations, well, with the government or with the regime, which is not able to solve anything in its country, eh, well, maybe i'm not saying this diplomatically, but it's a fact. well, it's a fact that starting since 2020, we do not recognize the powers of the self-proclaimed president, or what he calls himself, the president of belarus, oleksandr lukashenko, because after the

2020 presidential elections, ukraine did not recognize his powers. there will never be a war with ukraine, and he is happy that the russian military is coming to the republic of belarus, how the belarusians are welcoming them there. we train, we form a subdivision, that's how it should be everywhere, our fate is such a second option, war, believe me, i can't run after everyone, persuade, do, do your

business conscientiously, the rest is mine here are the statements that he will never fight, maybe he doesn't know who will fight and how he will fight, it was said that in the conditions when russia actually absorbed belarus, no no, lukashenko decides that too was to solve this at the same time, mr. volodymyr, we see the formation of a kind of axis of evil from belarus and russia to iran, well, at least three countries can be said that are part of this axis of evil, a concept that was introduced by bush the elder, if i am not mistaken , tell me please what can stop or what can secure the world. i'm not saying ukraine from the formation of this axis of evil from three countries, eh. i

think, first of all, it's eh, total isolation of these countries . that is, it's not just deep economic sanctions, they are already eh, of course, against russia has security council sanctions against iran, er, there are international sanctions , er, but unauthorized security sanctions against belarus , so that's all there is, er, there is a difference in what, for example, iran, as was stated yesterday during a consultation in the security council un by some countries iran is simply over this supply drones, what did we say there? if he hadn’t refused without it, eh, and also russian, eh, they don’t have any financial zone, russia itself can and produces everything, well, that is, we are telling an outright lie, but at the

consultations there was a consta if iran is the same and violates the resolution of the un security council on sanctions against itself, so there and there. i think that the answer will not be taken away and uh. i am sure that in the coming days we will see such a sharp increase in the regime of sanctions. with his by the right methodology, any revolution will be overturned if even such a sanction is introduced against itself and international well, of course, it will support and protect belarus but nevertheless, this does not prevent the united states of the european union and not all other countries from imposing such sanctions individually well by the way, canada has just introduced additional sanctions against iran without even waiting for the decision of the security council. this is the first and second - i think that now

we are actively talking about the prospects that have appeared, on which no one has even i didn't think six months ago or even a couple of months ago. about the exclusion of russia from the zone of other international organizations, well, some of it is already extremely difficult to understand, but i repeat once again that a few months ago, no one even wanted to talk about it, so much so that it was considered unrealistic and today they are already actively talking about it and every day eh this conversation is getting stronger, the same thing could have been done with the belarusians in the morning eh or raising questions about the non-recognition of the powers of these declarations eh in international organizations eh and there are many other things, such as canceling visas or

not issuing visas at all to citizens of these countries, but to the injured, i will say once again that it is easier there because there is such a rather complex mechanism of the sanction regime , which is what, i think that these are promises russia to help iran somehow get out of this regime. did bypassing these sanctions become the reason why he agreed to supply them with his road, but one thing is the first days when maybe there was not enough evidence that this paradise zone well, today it is simply ridiculous to talk about it because what already there is so much evidence and i know that we have already transferred all the information on this matter to brussels and washington , and in this way the proof of guilt or complicity is too early, this is a matter of literally a few days . and today there was information

that the european union introduced the developers and manufacturers of iranian drones shahe and three generals from this republic. yes, of course, this is initial because well, this reaction is a jam only uh, let's say the very sphere of production, but the fact is that, first of all, these dons are probably already there collected in warehouses, that is, it is about how to prevent their supply well, i i think that this question is clearly not for an open final, but i am absolutely sure that uh, western intelligence and our intelligence are actively working on this. i think that there are means for this uh well, if not to stop it, then at least make it as difficult as possible for iran for russia otaki things, and by the way, you named three countries in this

place of evil, well, you can add to them, there would be nicaragua or syria or north korea , but for example, as far as i know from some sources, that fact if you remember, there was a conversation a few weeks ago that russia was also asking north korea for the supply of certain weapons there, and in particular, which missiles are in north korea. well, what quality do you think they were, but they have them, north korea refused, which is not surprising, that is why it is persistent china asked this about the question of china's influence . we may not like china's position 100%. it seems to us that china does not support us enough, or there is not enough there, or it has been acquired by russia, but in fact it is

not quite so. china does everything quietly and calmly in chinese, and i i will not be surprised if this is true information that he simply practically prohibited the koreans from supplying these missiles to the russian federation well, for example, he prohibited some of his companies from supplying certain russian technologies there that can be used for the production of and what can be done about the belarusians? i think that just every day, the horrors that are happening on the ukrainian-russian front, what is being done by these miran bedrons, it seems to me that it opens the eyes of even those politicians in the west who well, you probably know that we don’t believe it to the end. it ’s possible. unfortunately, this is happening today and there is still public opinion.

for example, if in the united states, 75% of the population, according to a survey, no. yesterday's over the same fresh but recent after 5% perform and advocated for the increase in the provision of military allowances to ukraine in the countries of western europe, this figure is a difference in dependence, uh, well, from country to country. i think that after the shelling of kyiv, that after the destruction of the major cities of ukraine, 40% of our energy structure is already public. the opinion about the support of ukraine and in western europe hits and increases well, what is important is that this information will probably finally reach those countries , those countries, well, which are far from us, which are far from this war, uh, what is the most important thing that there is no war, so that it all ended rather quickly and among them, well, the

same india. but i think that those pictures that are shown all over the bbc channel are all watched by people in these countries and in africa, latin america , that is, the pressure will increase in such a public , public and on the governments of these countries also because if we are talking about the total barvy against e on this axis of evil, then of course eh well, such a barrage or isolation should be joined as he adjusts education . also, i think that this will also happen much faster than what the kremlin thinks or minsky or in tehran, mr. volodymyr, in the world we see many conflicts between states, that is, but usually these conflicts do not cross a certain border and even in wars, the two sides do not use

those tools that the russian federation uses, they do not attack the energy structure they don't destroy the infrastructure that allows people to be provided with drinking water, they don't attack the infrastructure that can provide people with heat, what you mentioned about this 40% of the critical infrastructure of the energy structure that during in the last 11 or 12 days, the russian federation has destroyed the territory of ukraine, which shows that russia wants to impose new rules for the resolution of conflicts, military conflicts, or let's say new rules for waging war, because if russia continues like this, within a month we will actually be left without electricity at all, what do you think

or who can stop the russians from destroying this infrastructure, the restoration of which will obviously take more than one year in ukraine. i think that unfortunately, we cannot hope for any diplomatic ways because time has already proven that neither putin nor the russian military listen to any conversations there and uh, well, remember at least uh, even before this massive attack began, well, absolutely such an uncivilized massive attack on the infrastructure of ukraine, who just tried to be a mediator, well, as they said in the ukrainian-russian conflict, and berlusconi and the president of mexico, uh, the same elon musk, for example , well, with that respect, even the president, at least,

he achieved certain uh, uh, successes, we are relatively small in such matters, too, precisely the supply of grain, exchange urban prisoners are small, these are important things. but it is clear that they did not lead to the cessation of this war, but at least there was some uh-uh result, but please note that for the last 11-12 days, we have not heard any ideas of mediation there, negotiations of ending the conflict uh-uh this is happening precisely because, apparently, all the people who think and think, i mean not only in western europe and in america, but also in the whole world, they have already understood who putin is and who the

russian leadership is and in general what is today's russia that is, it is a country that is easy to talk to. there is nothing to talk about and it is impossible to be ideal. that is, only a military defeat can stop them. well, and then there is the husky court or, as it is now fashionable to say, the mariupol court. in the future, the tribunal will be international, plus compensation for all that if they have done in ukraine eh so once again i am saying diplomatically, i do not see a way out of this situation today from my senses, but the military. this is the supply of such weapons that allow us to more effectively fight against these forces, that is, against anti-missile anti-aircraft artillery, against drones and

anti-missile defense
