our guest oleksandr mishchenko should join the extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine in latvia, we have already announced this guest because the topic is extremely interesting. latvia called to provide weapons to ukraine without instructions on where exactly and how far to shoot them, and the second topic is the tv channel dozhd, which is now actually banned, but so far. yes, if we still don't have a certain ambassador, i will read almost sensational information from germany, reported by our colleagues . i.e. today they are conducting a special operation simultaneously in 11 federal states against the right of an extremist organization that planned to kidnap politicians and storm, believe it or not , the bundestag, that is, the german parliament on the instructions of the prosecutor general and the federal criminal police department. law enforcement officers have already detained 25 men and

women . participation in the storming of the parliament of the bundestag, who probably belonged to a right-wing terrorist organization or supported it, the searches take place in more than 130 apartments offices and warehouses including the barracks of the command of the special forces in the city of coffee in baden baden in baden yurtenberg i apologize in total 50 two suspects 52 suspects are under investigation for membership or support of this terrorist organization this is one of the largest police operations against extremists ever conducted in germany this is the information we will give about the consequences and inform 3,000 police officers conducting investigations and arrests oleksandr mishchenko is already with us extraordinary the plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine to latvia mr. oleksandr we congratulate you, and only yesterday they sent 100 cannons to kyiv for heating. well, no, it’s not military cannons, they mean yes, but for heating the air, avangari 49 generators, another

35 generators will be sent somewhere on december 15. tell me. please, about latvia's thermal aid for ukraine, what exactly? and what else to expect? latvia almost every day sends some kind of cargo to ukraine that contains energy equipment, so what happened yesterday is a special program of the riga city hall, which sent with help to the sister city of kyiv, these guns are a response to our initiative in ukraine to create population heating centers and they realized that they could help with these heating guns and they are already on their way. i think that tomorrow they will already be in kyiv and the next shipment will be 15- today, 2 very powerful generators of 150 kw each are being sent from vinnytsia to vinnytsia, and today a latvian energy transformer will be sent, that is, practically throughout latvia, something is sent daily through places

comrades through local self-government through the ministry. i know that the ministry of internal affairs directs the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine border service border service emergency events and for others latvia realizes that this is a weapon, they also call holodomor and today they call holmor. that is, it is an attempt to destroy the population of ukraine by freezing and that is why they perceive it as the first and foremost task, but you can see it in the footage, the head of the fundaziadot and yaki accumulates funds and sends from the recovery equipment is sent it's all in ukraine, so latvia is aware of the danger and makes it possible to help ukraine, oleksandr, the government, of course, the government there, the parliament, help, the city administration of riga, and as ordinary citizens, how aware are they of what is happening now in kyiv, kharkiv, odesa in lviv, where the cities are partially

destroyed, where the infrastructure is partially destroyed, where people are sitting, some without housing at all, some in their housing, but they get light there for one and a half hours a day, how much does this information reach the average citizens of latvia now i am asking all citizens of latvia to be aware of the thoughts of the occupation and all latvians are aware that this is genocide and that is why they are helping uh, what you are saying is that the government is only stupid. no, i want to say that it is when, for example, the state interstate line somewhat reduces activity immediately there are projects that are related to public organizations and volunteer organizations, and they complement, and when we talk about latvia, it is such a powerful stream that comes from all sides, from the authorities and from the population, this is the fund that i he called the connection, he accumulates funds from private individuals, they have already collected more than 13 million euros, and

this is something that goes not through the state, but through ordinary citizens, and this indicates that they are clearly aware. they have information, they will turn away more. the donors to this fund are representatives of businesses, organizations, or simply citizens of the community, those you mentioned are representatives of businesses and specific citizens, this fund accumulates all revenues, that is, which do not go through the state line. i will also tell you how it is translated the name of the fund, the connection, they said help, this is help , this is help, yes, and what is the largest fund that i have accumulated since the invasion of russia on february 24, they have already collected more than 13 million euros. authorities, where they will be applied. this was an appeal from the city hall of kyiv

to the city hall. of course, it will be kyiv that will determine the matter of latvia, deliver it to kyiv, and the kyiv city state administration will decide where it is most needed, oleksandr, about the dosch tv channel please tell us what is the current situation with the ban on the territory of latvia. well, how has the attitude of the lithuanians changed again, because at first you seemed to shelter them like this, and now what attitude do you understand? latvia is a democratic european state that realizes that that it is necessary to provide assistance to the forces of this russia in order to inform russians about the real face of this government, but at the same time latvia ensures this democracy through the implementation of the legislation of the latvian state by all persons, the rain made many mistakes and

i think it is appropriate to mention here the speeches of the president of latvia, essay levis, who at the beginning of the invasion said such and such things that putin surprised europe when he invaded ukraine, now is the time for europe to surprise putin. i think that everyone thought that democracy, including the latvian one, that it is such an absurdity and including the rain. look. they never admitted their mistakes, they said that it was a pretext. well, he said that. well, he said that our army, and in fact, there is a deep meaning behind this, if they are still latvian media or the legislation of latvia, if they gave them registration, this means that these are latvian mass media, but for some reason they consider themselves to be russia's army, so this is no longer just a pretext, this is a significant challenge to the state, and the state made remarks twice, including that they ordered to pay a rather large fine

of €10,000, and after that again, the presenter is not just making a mistake, as they now want to say, it is meaningful. they wanted to say that they are helping their army. that is, the army that is ukrainian today, and of course the response of the latin state was harsh. this is what president lewis said for the time being latvia and the european states are primarily a strong democracy, i would say a democracy without teeth, which does not allow anyone to invade its territory and here at will. i believe that this is an absolutely correct decision and it is quite symptomatic in this situation that it has shown that the european states are strong states that mocked themselves today in order to help ukraine defeat this enemy of millet, the director general of dozhda, nataliya sindiyeva, has already

published a video in which she tearfully asks for the return of this oleksiy krystylyova to her on work is there a possibility that the rain channel will now move to some other country of the european union, for example, to the neighboring lithuania or estonia of ukraine, there are still many european unions. fired her employee who made a serious mistake and did not cry because such actions of theirs help the killers of the russian army to kill ukrainian children, but she did not say a word about the killed ukrainian children and if you help this army, you consider it yours, then who do you consider the ukrainian army of ukrainian children to be, in my opinion, not yours, any russian who takes up a weapon is an enemy, including the enemy of the rain, they do not consider them as such like other european countries will respond to their

appeal, and i think that they will appeal. of course, they will not return to russia. i don't know , i can't predict. but i think that latvia's example will be indicative in many ways for other countries that will consider such appeals. do you remember how general franco said that we will advance in four columns, the fifth column supports us in madrid itself, so i think that it is just that some pseudo-democratic russian mass media are representatives of this fifth column, which will support the russians from within the european union in the event that there i don't want to insult the rain , but it is very likely that the ban on broadcasting is only in latvia or on the stay there in general . to be decided by the competent authority, i say once again that the accusations brought against her were that the threat to

national security is quite significant and the competent authorities of latvia do not make such statements just like that. military aid to latvia in ukraine in latvia supported the provision of necessary weapons to ukraine from allied countries without restrictions, the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of latvia , edgars linkevich, said that our country, that is, where ukraine should not limit the use of weapons since the weapons are being used to protect against the aggressor , he told the agency, it is not such a market. rita avize. maybe i'm wrong, i'm wrong. i don't read latvian. the minister emphasized that there will be discussions now not about providing ukraine with long-range artillery systems of tanks and an even more effective air defense system, and until then, discussions between nato are ongoing and allied countries and the head of the foreign ministry said that some countries are worried that ukraine will use weapons to break through the territory

of russia to protect themselves from the destruction of their energy system. my opinion is that we should give the ukrainians weapons, there is no need to limit their use of these weapons if the goal is to destroy the base where the missiles or aircraft are located on the territories that are on the side of russia on the territory of russia, your assessment of such a friendly the support of the minister of foreign affairs of latvia and whether the ministers of foreign affairs of other european union countries are inclined to this opinion, please, you know my business rynkiewicz, he not only says so, he does so as well as and the entire government of latvia, they gave us the largest aid in the world in relation to their own gdp , they transferred 41% of their military budget to ukraine, this is the largest indicator in the world, and latvia is not naive , they are aware of what putin is doing and they are aware that this regime cannot be led negotiations, they can only be defeated by military force, and in this regard, they gave us all their

help, which they gave, including powerful weapons. poland and our other real allies in that they not only give on a bilateral level, they represent us where we are not, and this is nato, and i assure you that all the officials of latvia and the minister of foreign affairs, the minister of defense, they are fighting in these structures for as for themselves , they insist that ukraine must ensure its security and sovereignty by all possible means, and for this they insist that nato should arm ukraine in such a way as to give enough sick people and not only so that they fired from afar and we could not respond because we supposedly cannot aim at the territory of another country, this is an aggressor, this is war, and this is what everyone is told in war, we have to protect ourselves by all

methods, and platia strongly supports this. i think that they are being listened to. well, lithuania too joins latvia's initiatives and wait for the refusal of entry to russians and lithuania and latvia have refused entry to more than a thousand citizens of the russian federation, what are the reasons for the refusal, how do they explain it, and how many russians are there in general in latvia now if you take the hot phases of the war of course, there were approximately 250,000 e-e russians here, but we speak for those who have a legal right of residence, this is one category, we speak for those who tried to enter latvia after the invasion on february 24. minister of foreign affairs latvirinkevich said that we forbade those who tried to avoid mobilization, why should we not feel sorry for those who want to escape, but they all

support aggression, they simply do not support their participation where they feel that they can be killed. they object, they are supported, so of course latvia is trying to defend itself from this kind of warlords, they forbade her entry and there is no complaint against them that they will allegedly go to the front there, don't go to the front, take weapons, go against your own criminal regime - this is a normal reaction of a normal ukraine, as ukraine did in 2014, we stood up against yanukovych against criminal power and we secured our country today. they want someone to fight for them against putin's government, so they have no illusions here they realize that those who don't want to fight should be under fsb agents and others, that's why latvia has done other baltic countries, etc.,

every state that cares about its own security should do, namely ban the entry of these people, let them fight for their democratic state themselves to my country thank you thank you very much mr. oleksandr mishchenko extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine to latvia who banned the broadcasting of the tv channel dozhd , which seems to be liberal russian, from tomorrow latvia has already broken up, thank you very much for the position, and lithuania, by the way, also joins in that by receiving a broadcasting license there, a channel there actually receives latvian jurisdiction, if the host of a latin channel says that our army uses a phrase in relation to the army of the occupier, then this is the position of the latin tv channel rain and on the russian tv channel rain that is temporarily located there on

the territory of the latin republic and of course the latvian republic reacts to well, what this channel says, the country understands its responsibility if it gives evgeny took refuge under her license under the wing, magde joins us and we ask him the executive director of the institute of world politics p. yevgeny. congratulations , i would really like a position like latvia's to be a world policy, but i understand that a huge part of the world does not, well, does not really understand what is happening there in fact, it comes to mind that there are no good russians very slowly to everyone. how do you feel about this position of latvia ? great success, great consistency, the baltic countries, together with poland,

our allies are probably the most active here, should be measured not only by the amount of aid given to ukraine, because we understand that the budgets of germany and latvia are not comparable if the latvians did not try hard, that is, i'm sorry, but in any in which case well, i believe that the dosh tv channel attacked its own image of the liberal media itself and what they say about the fact that its representatives came to the meeting of the regulator without a latin translator, that is, they thought that everyone should know russian. well, you have to understand that, in principle, there are many russian-speakers living in russia. well, that is how it happened historically, but that does not mean that russian is the

state language there, so what is the point? no, i support it. did not mention er during the conversation with mr. ambassador that really, when considering the issue, they already had two warnings and a third warning and revocation of the license , suspension of the license, cancellation of the license, then they came to explain their position regarding the statement of their host about our army came and spoke in russian without an interpreter, they tried to explain in russian that this is not their army and they don't have an army in russia at all, but they came with russian to the meeting of their state body of the republic of latvia well, that's how it looked in a nutshell and of course it's additionally set up the representatives of this regulatory body in relation to their editorial policy, including that's how it is, yevgeny , and regarding and what i want to clarify, i wanted to ask you as a tv host, and what could they not record a 30-second clip in latin with the fact that they

like to work in latvia and it was already so difficult. well, so that this does not change the fact that they, er, russians have become more liberal. another question, er, is a question that worries all russian liberals. they say that they are against the military aggression of their army or the russian army into ukraine, but i have not yet heard from any liberal saying that we are in favor of restoring the territorial integrity of ukraine within the framework of the constitution and within the framework of our territorial the integrity of the sample of 91 or in 2014, i have not heard from a single person, even from those who have heard that we are against, we condemn aggression, but you are for preserving the integrity of the sample of 14, you are for ukrainian crimea well, crimea is against as pannavalnyi said, what a liberal, i am a positioner, yes, he is to

some extent an icon of the russian opposition movement, but i would say such an icon with imperial gilding and accordingly, well, you understand this imperial modus-orandi, he is present and he will be constantly , that is, there is no doubt even here. well, i'm watching you just know the situation around the rain and the reaction of those people who call themselves the russian position. she showed that they are in their mass, they just want to change, so to speak, the bad putin for a good one, that's why i, in the environment of the russian opposition, want to be able to talk, communicate, er, consult

with those who speak for the disintegration of russia, this is the only possible way to ensure security guarantees in europe, to destroy the state in its current form, which is the largest in the world and which poses a huge threat to its own neighbors. in my opinion, this is absolutely an obvious fact was also supported by medusa, who called on all russian citizens to join this support, they said what does it mean that they are now now now the final is just this statement there she is we express the solidarity of the rain team dear colleagues we hope you are standing we will try with all our might to help you will cope with this crisis, this is a crisis, a journalist knows no boundaries , freedom of speech is a universal value, it needs our protection, in order to fight for it every day, wherever we are

were like this. this is despite the fact that medusa has been working from riga for several years, and medusa in her messages still gives the impression that this material was prepared by an agent. yes, i was surprised, for example. i saw it at a conference in kaunas in the fall of this year. outside of russia, there seems to have been no topic of russians, but they still gave the impression that the government, the center, is also a neo-agent. that is, you know so much that ordmund is so putin-like inside russian society that one can hope to somehow rebuild it can democratize well, unless george bush sr. could count on it and then after i don't know what kind of parachute jump because, well, it's actually an absolutely impossible thing, because i'm saying it as

a person who watches russian propaganda fairly consistently, there's washing technology of brains so powerfully so consistently what well, it's just you know it's a conveyor belt conveyor of lies conveyor belt of manipulation conveyor belt of creating a parallel reality and not blame but sanctions we'll talk about it all but it's interesting that the statement was signed there the statement is not only medusa, but also the new newspaper novaya gazeta europa and then there are a number of pseudo-liberal eh, well, less well-known mass media, eh, and including personally here, some people can read the full list on the website of medusa mikhail from games here olga churakova liza surganova ilya sheshorin well, but the editorial office of echo rus news in ilisabona lane well, i won't read them all, mr. wine, by the way, you know, by the way

, concluding this topic, the leading agents. they are also announced by agents, they sell their literature, authors of books, books are sold in such paper as we used to wrap sausage in the soviet union, an opaque package on which the author and the title of the work are written by hand, you understand . from the time of nazi germany , there is very little left in the bookstore, there is a book wrapped in this sausage paper, have you seen these photos, this is kraft paper, i saw it, a worker, uh, distributed it, kraft paper is so special, i think it is very expensive, so that people still they paid additionally for the paper. but if we are to be serious, what is usually expressed by the russian word бракобесся is in russia a systemic state policy, and we must

realize it, and ukraine must not just realize it, but realize it operationally, so to speak, ukraine must emphasize because it is, it should become a state that is able to be at the forefront of dismantling all this russian nonsense and that if europe is now thinking for itself about what to do, it is already a little later, when russia suffers a military defeat in the war against ukraine, europe will no longer be able to think and it will be necessary to make some appropriate organizational decisions, and this is an absolutely clear and clear fact regarding the ninth package of sanctions, well, about the punishment for this, and i think that uh well, the fifth column is russian, it already

understands that the tribunal uh, it will apply to them too and that's why responsibility is important here, which is slowly, very, very, very slowly being implemented, how do you evaluate this announced ninth next package of sanctions regarding russia from the european commission, what will be there? will there be something powerful? calmly evaluate, you know, i evaluate this package, its appearance as uh, this is uh, a systemic process , because the first package of sanctions is the european commission, until the war stops russia in ukraine , it will not stop it. for her, this is a demonstration of political solidarity with ukraine through the introduction of sanctions, so there will be no stops in this sense, but we have to analyze for ourselves a simple anniversary. how quickly did the ninth package appear under this eighth package quickly enough and how long the package would have been discussed a few

months ago, this means that this package will not be extremely significant, the next package will be next year, but the european commission will not stop because this consensus is the answer to the existing requests within european societies that the aggressor should be punished in this case with russian karate ruble, i did not see such extraordinary sanctions there that could shake the russian economy. here you also need to understand that well, it is a bit powerful and stable due to its size for to simply shake it with sanctions, but this does not mean that this package of the station must be abandoned, because the adoption of the package of sanctions causes a reaction from the media. it once again reminds us

that an aggressive war by russia is ongoing in ukraine, that is, this package of sanctions is definitely in our interests. and what will be in the next year, will the position and tools of the european union change somehow? i think no, you know that russia with the help of its political buyers. the brothers of italy, who turned out not to be brothers to the russians at all, this is a good, good signal. however, i think that today's announcement about an attempted mutiny in germany. i think that new critical attacks on emmanuel macron, new attempts to shake the situation in the post-soviet states

, they will definitely affect russia be carried out and you need to constantly react to them, react quickly enough , today's attempted mutiny, well, the suppression of this institution, the exposure of this network that i read about, do you think that this is also a story with russia directly connected as far as i can go, i will say that russia has a branched agency system even in soviet times through germany and, accordingly, it was built on the basis of anti-americanism in relation to soviet times. the soviet union also built agencies in the countries of western europe, so there is nothing extraordinary here because, well , in general, in germany, if you look through the archives, similar ones with languages ​​of different scales appear constantly for some reason, i don’t think so
