the past few weeks, we do not yet have official information that russia is behind these packages, but it is very difficult not to perceive this history is somehow related to the russian-ukrainian war. what do you think is behind this? first of all, i am using this opportunity and your question to express support to all my colleagues in our embassies in our diplomatic system . those who even experience such episodes today are undoubtedly a company of intimidation, intimidation, obstruction of normal diplomatic activity. of course, this is a company with such psychological influence, but i will tell you that this company is actually a pathetic campaign. which will not achieve any success, there is no doubt that whoever is behind this company directly

finds out this issue belongs to the special services of law enforcement agencies and obviously, in one way or another, the answer to this question will be found, nevertheless, i will say something else about the wretchedness of the activity in general of russia on the international arena, uh, about what is called the so -called russian diplomacy of many of the russian diplomats. i know them personally. at least i knew them from work in new york in the permanent when i worked in the permanent representation of ukraine, maybe and do you know sergey lavrov personally? yes, i know sergey lavrov. in my opinion, sergey lavrov is a vivid example of the degeneration of russian diplomacy. that is, it is an example of how behind the supposedly diplomatic form there is a great emptiness. this is my impression, in my opinion, today, and it is russian diplomacy.

russian diplomacy today demonstrates the worst possible features that combine it with the diplomacy of nazi germany, if we even look at the entire range of russian diplomats, we will see faces distorted, intellectually poor, moreover, not these people who deliberately lie contrary to any acceptable decent rule. what do you think is the attitude towards russian diplomacy now in europe, for example, or have your european colleagues already understood who they are dealing with and how they perceive russian diplomats in particular and sergey lavrov? i think that a lot of of my colleagues are deeply impressed by what they actually saw in the face of russian diplomacy. that is, this is the gradual discovery that came to which we paid attention

for a long time. but nevertheless, it existed this is a certain myth about the fact that it is possible to deal with this form of diplomacy and what the whole civilized world has seen today in the face of russian diplomacy. i think that this is not just disappointment, it is a look into the abyss into which culture can fall. uh, human nature in general, moral behavior, anti-world we, on the one hand, see that at some events, diplomats or representatives of other countries are already publicly boycotting the speeches of russian colleagues or russian representatives, we are the same we also see that a number of european leaders they insist that ties with russia must be maintained. so the latest example is probably

french president emmanuel macron, who once again emphasized that he considers it necessary to maintain ties with vladimir putin. do you think it is really important to do it now? in the current conditions, because for example, emanuel macron believes that isolation for putin will be a much worse path than the fact that they are now somehow trying to maintain a dialogue with him . she herself chose the path of self-isolation. this is her choice. joe biden, russia's war against ukraine is a war of choice, they chose this path and what is an eloquent metaphor for what is happening with russia and with russian diplomacy, and look at the systematic escape of the permanent representative of the russian federation at the united nations during the speeches of the ukrainian representative, serhii kislytsia. pitifully imagine to what they have sunk and fallen no benzya

escapes from meetings of the security council and this actually applies to the vast majority of cases with russian ambassadors this isolation is palpable er, she is visible from rome, including at the last summit of the group of 20, he went to her where putin simply did not dare to come to a meeting with the people whose respect he wants to win, doesn't this dictator look pitiful as for the fact that maintain a dialogue with russia and you mention emmanuel macron today. i think that macron's line of behavior should be considered in a certain context. our attitude in response, first of all, we must realize that france is a very important

member of the international coalition against russian aggression, france is one of those european capitals that supports an important dialogue with the united states and this dialogue, the unity of this dialogue is incredibly important literally macron's state visit to washington has just ended, where many issues were discussed, including the issue of support for ukraine, the position of france is important for helping ukraine, whether it is about military aid or economic aid or whether political or humanitarian, it is very important for us to maintain unity in the european union, where france has its own important participation and influence on decision-making, in particular, for example, regarding the sanctions policy in relation to russia or, relatively speaking, speaking about the future of the european union, and therefore unity in within the framework of the european union and the

unity between the european union and the united states, many questions arise today that were bound to arise. russia's war against ukraine is a war of attrition. putin is counting on the fact that this the war will affect the unity between the european union and america of course he expects that this war will cause dissatisfaction among the people due to many economic and other financial difficulties and so on of course that arise in the course of this war also arise internally and economic trade discussions between the european union and the united states states. for example, macron discussed with biden the law on reducing inflation, which was signed by the president of the united states in august of this year, it is important, very legal, it mobilizes almost a billion dollars of the united states to support american business, including those related

to green energy, but the appearance of this law creates an imbalance, a trade economic imbalance in the european union, and macron drew attention to it in this way: macron is a figure, he is the head of the french state and a representative of the european union who conducts a dialogue with america and is trying to position himself as one of the major leaders of the european union, responding to a lot of topical issues and where he is not only with america but also with russia and so just recently, in an interview that macron gave to american journalists during his visit to washington, he was again reminded that shortly before the full-scale invasion, macron communicated with putin and after that meeting he assured him that putin had given him guarantees that there would be no invasion, whether such a dialogue would be effective if macron himself admits that putin has already deceived him at least once by describing this context. i tried to emphasize

how difficult the situation is related to international solidarity against russian aggression so that we realize so that ukrainians understand and soberly look at the real state of affairs the west supports us as it has never supported its stories in our history this is completely unprecedented the united states has already given ukraine today if i'm not mistaken more than 50 billion dollars in aid the union somewhere approximately 30 there is a lot of bilateral aid, the west stands side by side with us and this must be realized and understood, but supporting this solidarity is not an easy matter, it is not just a matter of distance. we need to behave and do everything possible on our part in order to support and help this solidarity. thank god, ukrainian diplomacy is doing this, ukrainian diplomacy in the broadest sense, including not only our official representatives,

but a large international informal team, nevertheless, within the framework of preserving this unity for us it is necessary to speak with our partners as frankly as possible. that is, we in society must understand that the international situation is difficult, we must treat it responsibly in an adult way secondly, we need to do everything in order to strengthen this unity and thirdly, we need to continue to speak frankly with our partners about those things that can cause damage knowingly or unknowingly to the confrontation with the russian aggressor, indeed macron, in addition to the role he performs on behalf of the european union or from his own state. in dialogue with your tone or in general in global international relations, he retained such a role as a kind of contactor. i would not say mediator or there is another word for mediator.

contact person with putin i am absolutely right to ask what is more charming in the opinion that contacts with putin did not bring any desired result, contacts that were carried out either macro or federal by german chancellor scholz or other world figures who tried to fulfill this so-called mediating and calming role therefore, today 's explanation of macron's support for the dialogue with putin looks quite vulnerable from kyiv's point of view, it is clear that from which point of view it is important to maintain contact even with the aggressor in order to take care of de-escalation and to prevent excessive violence, but the current situation

looks very much in my opinion, an image from tolkien's book the lord of the rings comes to mind when uh, a lot of people tried to look into such a magic ball for that to see what is happening in sauron's kingdom and the danger of this orb was that, firstly, reality was being distorted by her consciousness, and secondly, it was a pull and a pull that could harm her to a person or to that character who looks at the entire sphere, a conversation with putin is like a conversation with this sphere . putin

because only strength and victory over putin in one way or another will bring what we are fighting for , the victory of ukraine, the victory of civilized international relations, the hope that we can to develop the civilized light of the system and to maintain the world order plubkiv see well, on the one hand, the west, and in particular france, they emphasize that they support ukraine. we also see supplies of heavy weapons in this case . france is not an exception, it also transfers heavy lethal weapons to ukraine, but we also we hear such statements as saying that it should not be done so that putin is humiliated. by the way, these are the words that also supposedly belong to the french president, the macron menu. do you have the feeling that the west is supporting it seems that in order for ukraine to win, at the

same time, it is afraid of the defeat of russia, since 2014 , i had to hear a lot of expressions of the evaluations of our partners , allies, from many international figures, which related to how to build relations with russia and the awareness that we are dealing with a state that is simply going against international law, which is bent on undermining international relations, then this realization came gradually, in fact, the civilized world very slowly realized discovered the truth about what russia is, you will remember starting from 1991 what the civilized world did to the russian federation in the wilderness of the year the russian federation received huge investments from the russian

federation was essentially invited to take the place of the soviet union as a permanent member of the un security council in the early 1990s, the russian federation became a member of the group of seven, increasing this association to eight states of the world, the most important states of the world's economy, democracies, and so on. that is it was easily constructive er in the work line of behavior of a politician with the russian federation with moscow in order to be able to expand the space of democracy in this territory to tame the bear this is not about the bear i would not in any way compare the current russia with bear and with whom it was compared, i can't even think of what russia can be compared to, it's dirt, it's not clean - it 's er, a defiant attitude towards the world and weakness, that's what

modern russia of vladimir putin is, the west lost when he invested then in the early 90s x and during the 90s, so many forces and resources were needed to go to a meeting with russia. i would not speak in categories or lose my mind. i think that it was without an alternative path, a logical path for the development of relations . according to the world order, can a person who wants to establish normal relations be mistaken, it is hardly possible to be mistaken in good intentions, nevertheless, it was necessary to take it much more seriously and deeply. what kind of monster exists in the depths of the russian federation because we understand very well that we are not talking about putin, we are not even talking about this circle of war

criminals that he leads, we are not talking about the so -called lavrov, what he is, and so on, we are talking about collective putin, and collective putin is based on big uh internal more than 50 million russians believe in the diseases of the russian people and russian society, according to the estimates of the russian levada center, and they would like to restore the soviet union, this is resentment, they want to return not just to their youth, but to their pretended greatness, the greatness of what the majesty of poverty but at the same time trying to dominate others forcing others to do their own will being nothing this is what collective putin is and this is the big problem so coming back to your question about whether the world is ready for the victory over vladimir putin's regime and

the victory of ukraine over russia in general, awareness of what is happening in this dynamic historical process that is developing before our eyes, it happened gradually, but already today we understand several realities that have already established themselves i remember how on february 24, my family and i watched cnn and a lot of authoritative world figures and experts talked about, in fact, as a manufactured fact, that it is certain that ukraine will no longer exist, and the ukrainian people, the ukrainian armed forces, gave such a response to russian aggression that this doom has become a thing of the past. and political reality has become that ukraine is a serious subject of international relations ukrainian victory is achievable and real this is already a political reality political reality has become that it is necessary to create a special an international tribunal to punish vladimir

putin and his regime of war criminals is a political reality the unity between your tone and brussels has become a political reality the readiness to apply unprecedented large-scale sanctions against the russian aggressor an international reality flight well, the reality has become the realization that we have a chance to stop e- of this monster, this means that there is already an awareness that it is necessary to think about how the space of the russian federation should be reorganized. because our victory this is a victory in the literal sense for the liberation of our territories, the liberation of our lands, the liberation of our people, but on the other hand, we need to understand that the victory of ukraine and the victory of the entire civilized world also implies the impossibility of such aggression being repeated in the

future, this means the denazification of russia, this means where is the imperialization of russia, this means that it is necessary to reduce as much as possible the military possibility of russia to carry out this type of aggression, and this is not all of russia - that is how it is a federation of more than 80 members the subjects of the entire federation are lawless, they don't even exist, they don't have the right to leave russia according to their constitution, that is, in fact, it's not a federation, it's an authoritarian state that completely controls the entire system of government throughout the territory, it's such a monster criminally fsb and e- this monster actually controls hundreds of nations, hundreds of nations, and each of these nations, according to the un charter, has the right to self-determination, but this monster also controls a huge number of nuclear warheads and

it seems to me that what is largely decisive in such an uncertain position of the west regarding whether to support the victory of ukraine or to support its progress on the battlefield, but so that you know something has not worked out or not do you fear that the fear of russia as a nuclear by the state will affect the fact that the civilized world will back down when it is necessary to help ukraine defeat russia. ukrainian society, the international team are so great. we have to do everything so that such a negative scenario does not happen. this means that we have to very soberly and very carefully follow any e-e processes taking place in the world, which affect not only the west, but all over the world.

this applies to the world and those regions that are not an event, it is necessary to maintain very close contacts with asia , africa, south america, and so on. none of us has the gift of predicting the future , but we have the gift of believing, believing in unity with our allies, believing in our armed forces, believing in the ability of the ukrainian people to defeat this enemy, this faith for us is not just an image, not just a beautiful phrase, but this confidence is all faith, it is this trust, it will allow us to correctly er-er what is called to calibrate and balance our actions together with the allies in order to step by step achieve our goal of victory over russian imperialism while at the same time realizing what is really

the main obstacle for the entire victory to come as soon as possible is the fact that russia has the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons in the world. therefore, this task becomes more difficult. we would like to achieve our goal much faster, the less this circumstance, it significantly affects the making of many decisions, but what we see this is the progress of these decisions and not regression ukrainian diplomacy and literally in a few days on december 22 we will celebrate the day of ukrainian diplomacy today keeps its finger on the pulse and so when we started our conversation with what kind of unit is it? the so-called russian diplomacy is actually not diplomacy, it is a dead soul, it is a list of secret service people who carry out the orders of war criminals from moscow, unlike russian diplomacy. for example, i believe in

ukrainian diplomacy, i believe in many of my colleagues who today protect our interests i believe that ukrainian diplomacy has the potential to be that very important point and that important eye of ukraine that observes the logic of action of all our international partners and those feelings with a heart and a mind that will mobilize the world community in support of our state and for the victory over the russian aggressor, we hope so and it will be. to share it with you, thank you for the life that can

breathe the same air and speak the same language, thank you for the opportunity to be proud of you. every day i am what can work and 11 for you, thank you for a warm home. thank you that thanks to you, i can consider a child we are waiting for you at home. thank you for the hope you give. thank you that i can tell the truth about your victories. it is all thanks to you. thank you for your sincerity . you are special because the whole world admires you. freedom has always lived in the hearts of ukrainians for 300 years. in the darkest times
