uh, um, the problem, the big problem with russia is that russia is a nuclear power that has six thousand nuclear warheads, and therefore it is difficult to fight with it, nevertheless, i am absolutely sure that ukraine, ukraine, is victorious over this monster with the support of the civilized world and ukraine already is and will always be a part of this civilized world and the world will always be in ukraine . ukraine turned out to be more civilized even than some of the supposedly most civilized countries in the world. let's just put it this way, i won't specify who we're talking about, i think everyone can understand it himself. thank you, igor eisenberg, a professor at new york university, was on a direct video call with us, and he predicts that the usa

will continue to support ukraine and with this help, ukraine will definitely win over russia in this bloody war, only colleague vera sverdlik spoke with the extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of estonia in ukraine kaymokusk watch have been office we they mentioned that you are an ex-spy but there are no former spies i bet you know more than an ordinary person even more than an ordinary diplomat so when the war ends when ukraine wins the war will end when ukraine wins i am sure of that and i hope it will happen next year but such things are always difficult for intelligence. it is difficult to give a specific date and

a specific time. what would you like to watch? it depends on many variations. a month before the war, you decided to stay in kyiv while other embassies had already begun to evacuate. i didn't believe that there would actually be an invasion. in fact, there were two things. i knew that the ukrainians were very well. 5 days before the start, i visited the zhytomyr region and the ukrainian border with belarus. we were together with the

spanish ambassador. to such an extent that i believed that the russians would not dare to attack kyiv, i was wrong, however, despite this, the russians invaded and began to attack kyiv, but i was not mistaken in that the ukrainians are capable not only of pushing them away from kyiv, but now also from chernihiv, from sumy, from kharkiv oblast and half of kherson oblast. so, ukraine will do what is necessary. ukraine is a ukraine, a foreign policy priority of estonia . this is your statement that from 2019, when you only became ambassador. how would you describe the partnership of our countries today ? an example of how to

measure the estonian embassy in kyiv, as well as our embassy in washington, so practically the same number of diplomats and local employees, the same numbers, if you think about what washington is for estonia, it is the most important capital so kyiv is at the same level. here is your priority. we are working and doing everything we can to help you defeat the enemy of this war. we will overcome other ways together. we can go and evaluate our interstate partnership according to the calculations of forbes . for an amount that is 1.2% of its own gdp as a percentage, this is the largest indicator among all

european countries. in the future, you plan to beat this maximum and surpass yourself, of course, because all the records exist for that to break them and we will continue to add military aid, we have already reached 300 million euros, this is approximately one third of our annual defense budget, even a little more. so, we will add more humanitarian aid, we will provide the necessary spare parts for the electrical system, we will not stop and will continue to help even after victory. well because people say we will help until victory and after victory we will forever support you, we are in the same group with you, i would like to stop specifically on military aid to ukraine, what can we do

to expect peace from estonia in the next year. and various things provided javelins with anti-tank means, and then we are not anti-tank in such a quantity that even for me it seems to be an incredible number, and no, i will not name the numbers in front of the camera, but we will supply a lot further and we will see will we be able to provide any additional platforms, let's say for artillery, we will give, but the positive thing is that we already have two things, military hospitals are mobile, they can be

deployed and deployed within an hour and close to the front line. this is an extremely important thing because you know that your enemy is inhabited by such things and you can quickly turn deploy move to another place the first field hospital has already saved more than 2,000 lives of the ukrainian military. month, i am sure, i fully hope that it will be so. thank you. estonia is also participating in the reconstruction of ukraine. you take care of zhytomyr region. i am

definitely not wrong. that is how we focused on the reconstruction and revival of ukraine in zhytomyr region. oblast, have you already managed to implement some projects, what plans are there, yes, there are 15 objects that zhytomyr oblast offered us, and i liked everything, and very much, when we started winning with zhytomyr, they later asked us if we could not take zhytomyr oblast as such a cell, and we agreed, then zhytomyr region sent us a list of 15 objects , five bridges, schools, kindergartens, even a football stadium among them, and we said that we do not have the resources to rebuild all 15 objects on our own, we took

the first object - it was a children's kindergarten because projects related to children to women who need help is a priority for us so we started building a kindergarten that week and thought about doing it in the summer, we adapted the project because we don't have storage e-e places for children in kindergartens in estonia and you need and you are not afraid to build right now, it can be destroyed again. it seems to me that the ukrainians have shown us that it is necessary to have courage. i say that ukrainians are the biggest exporters of courage and courage in the world. we look at you and we cannot be worse than ukrainians. that's what we thought. so, if you don't start

today, because tomorrow there will be no hope for the local people. it is important that we give hope not only to the soldiers on the front line, but to those who are in the rear so that there is something to move. the bridge in the city of malynyi is also in the center of a bridge across the river , among the places it was broken by a bomb, a broken bridge that divided the city into two parts and 20,27,000 people in this place. for ukraine, this is a small town, but by our estonian standards, 27,000 people it is such a big city. so

we took this city and in this project i like that half of the resources come from ukraine and we provide the other half so this is a common thing, a common cause and i like the fact that we work together and we are owners and executors in two countries and this must be done as soon as possible as freely as possible, this is the second project, we have warm relations with the ukrainians, recently the central bank of estonia issued coins with the inscription glory to ukraine, we know that a charity sale was planned, the first donation was €35,000 no 350,000 yes yes exactly wow, is there a total result, how much was collected

further, the bank makes transfers to the ukrainian national bank, it is a great idea to have such a penny this is a ukrainian artist, he is actually a student , he is studying in tallinn, he is studying there this is her and she i am very proud when ukraine got a ph.d. status for joining the european union two weeks have passed since the first - ukrainian words appeared on european pennies it says glory to ukraine it's wonderful and i have these coins here and we can say that this is one of the most favorite e-e coins that they

minted by the central bank, it can be used to pay in the european union, but i would not advise it because it will increase in value and it has a greater value than in fact 2 €, that is the only thing i can do, we are grateful for this support thank you for this conversation thank you always visited our studio. welcome, when the enemy cannot achieve results on the battlefield, he resorts to cynical attacks on civilians. the russian invaders want to exhaust us , break us and divide us.

times we are united as never before we are free and strong we are ready and even in the dark we can see how our victory is approaching we will overcome the darkness together a year ago i considered the title of olympic champion the main victory of my life now i, like all ukrainians, longed for one single victory victory in the war with russia on february 24, ukrainian athletes became ukrainian athletes and the olympics thousands of my colleagues changed training halls to the battlefield many of them unfortunately, they will remain there forever among them my friend is a master of sports in greco-roman wrestling russian shepherd games

and belarusian athletes. at this time, there are those who silently support terror and genocide, so their only achievement in the international arena should be lifelong shame and exile. i urge you to support ukraine on the sports front, your word will help put the enemy on the shoulders, share your posts with company hashtags and call to the boycott of russian and belarusian athletes is killing the rules of a warm country healthy care thank you for gaining energy by walking you regret the elevator and restore your health let's beat the winter together for a long time power outages, they will prepare supplies of drinking technical water for themselves and their loved ones, warm clothes, food, charged batteries, find out in advance, save the contacts

of medical institutions and the addresses of emergency services from the official websites or help services of the administration of your settlement, get ready for us, we will overcome the darkness together on the air, the channel we ukraine, congratulations everyone who has just joined us, and ukraine is preparing official steps to prove that russia is illegally in the un security council. this was stated by the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro according to kuleba, the russian federation managed to gain membership in the security council of the united nations as a result of a fraudulent scheme that took place 31 years ago. for many years, russia has been poisoning the un . to official steps that will prove russia's illegal stay in

the un security council and start a process, a political process that should lead to its removal from this place, it won't be easy, it wo n't be easy, but it's time for a frank argumentative conversation about russia's usurpation of a place in the un security council and the organization of the united nations in general, the conversation about the fact that russia must be excluded for the sake of un security began and became more active in the 14th year after the annexation of crimea, since this annexation was a gross violation of the un charter but nevertheless as of today, even after russia unleashed a war in donbas and made a full-scale invasion of ukraine, russia still continues to remain in the loop, are there any real prospects for its exclusion now we will to speak with our next guest - this is maksym dzhigun, a political scientist, an expert in social and political

issues, mr. dzhigun. good afternoon. i understand that you are currently abroad. i congratulate you in the middle. you see, regarding the prospect of excluding russia from the soviet union, you know, i would like to start with this of the basic e-e question, in general, what is the function of the un security council, what is the function of its permanent members of the security council, this is the so-called elite, this is a very small circle of countries that actually decide the fate of the agenda and decisions that are made in the un and the most important opportunity and help that russia receives in the un security council is that it can actually block any decisions that it does not like, and this is something that did not satisfy us long before the full-scale war against russia began ukraine is what currently prevents the un

from making those decisions that are very important for us, therefore, by actually solving the problem of russia's participation in the un security council, we could become more active, we could attract more help from the ukrainians of the world, and we would be able to bring peace to our country. well, russia, paradoxically, really brazenly took this place in the security council without being a leader in the democratic world or a fighter for democratic values, without being a fighter for peace different missions, she never ended wars, she only started them, er, russia was never the economic leader of the world in order to have a strong position, a strong word in the world, and actually all these factors are very paradoxical from the point of view of the presence of russia

in the security council and they must be resolved , of course we understand that there are not many opportunities there and that this is not a very narrow corridor and that our diplomats should go in order to achieve at least some partial concessions from other countries, namely russia it is the main barrier to this, at least before that it was, but judging by the position that is demonstrated today not in the ministry of foreign affairs, judging by the position of the president of ukraine and the office of the president, i think that today is probably the biggest a chance in ukraine to achieve this diplomatic victory and throw russia out of there from a place where it should never be. maksym, if we talk specifically about these official steps that will prove the illegal presence of russia in the un security council, then what exactly

are these steps and where should ukraine start well , first of all, ukraine should initiate the process of revising russia's entry into the security council after the collapse of the soviet union, we understand that in fact ukraine was one of the founding countries of the un and belarus was well, today we did not want to discuss belarus in in the context of its presence at the un and the functions it performs there, but about ukraine, we could , that is, we should question on the international arena, in principle, the effect of why russia ended up there, i so suspect that the united nations has internal tools for that how to review the decisions that were made earlier, there are processes, there are mechanisms for how to interpret today's role of russia and in general its appearance in the un security

council, and from that the following tools should appear, which foresee many voting both inside the un security council, but without the participation of russia, and in the un general assembly, in which you need to get an absolute majority of votes, if i am not mistaken maksym, as it turned out, if the un adviser this summer, who should ensure that all the countries that are members of the un adhered to the charter of this organization and, in principle, behaved in accordance with the norms adopted by the un, and among this elite there actually appeared such a gopnyk with a balalaika and vodka, who you know as a distant relative at a wedding , got drunk, grabbed the microphone and started with it shouting, no one can stop him and win him somehow is not very good, but it is also impossible to leave, so how did such a situation arise that no one can still do anything with russia. although she is engaged in propaganda, we have seen this many times on the site of the united nations security council she

promotes, er, frankly lies on this site. well, in general, she is more engaged in destabilizing this organization than caring somehow to contribute something to its development, well, listen, russia has never really distinguished itself as a democratic initiatives and procedures and compliance with these procedures. what is most important, well, russia is the hegemon country of the soviet union, which has appropriated all the laurels and, let's say, all the problems of the soviet union, but also all the advantages that the soviet union had, in particular in the military context, today we see that russia is godlessly continuing to shell ukrainian territories rockets and projectiles that were produced during the soviet union . by the way, they were already produced in ukraine and we transferred them to russia after signing the budapest memorandum now they are under attack, but the fact is that russia used its status as the leader of the

soviet union, which lobbied its interests constantly even before the collapse of the ussr itself, and after the collapse was not to take such a leadership position in that it was they who should be the legal successors of all those issues and functions performed by the soviet union well, i am definitely more than convinced that there were some lobbying efforts , including corrupt russian and soviet diplomats who worked with by other states that actually supported this decision, but now we can of course talk a lot about how such a problem happened, the most important thing is to find ways out of the current situation and try to rush to russia from where it should never be, and i think that this issue is actually not one maybe in a month or even a year, and it will be accepted

according to all the lengthy procedures there, similar to trials at international tribunals, i am more than convinced that russia will use all the levers to use all opportunities to either convince or promise some uh-uh offers of advantages to other states or banally bribe them or blackmail them as they are used to doing so that the un countries are probably not the most democratic, again this decision was blocked or at least delayed the decision-making process, but the un general assembly is the main advisory main directive and representative body of the un. and why is it not so easy to make a decision from such an organization, the only thing from gen of the un assembly well, because the un security council can express its vision in strategic matters. it can propose

an agenda. it can draw the attention of the entire un to some specific problems that it currently considers to be a priority for solving. can arbitrarily exclude individual countries from the security council, for this , a collective majority of other countries of the united nations organization, which must support these decisions, is needed for this, and of course, the presence of russia is precisely the security council from its with the right of veto, it greatly complicates the procedure for excluding russia and the reports, because if we were talking about the conditional belarus, which we already mentioned today, there would probably be more opportunities and chances to push through this decision if there was no veto from any of the countries which is part of the security council, but it is exactly what russia is doing there. i think they suspected even earlier that their positions would differ from the positions of the civilized world on key

issues, and the presence of russia there was critically important for the russian leadership starting from the first day of independence of russia and other ex-union republics, in your opinion , if the un in general does not find mechanisms to exclude russia from the un security council, what future awaits this organization, because we understand that at least from a moral point of view point of view, there are a lot of questions about the presence of russia in the circle of civilized states, which we seem to be . that's all the body is in the blood, well, it's extremely difficult. what do you think, without a doubt. i think that the united nations organization was, in principle, a kind of stillborn entity that, er, did not

manage to fulfill the functionality that was assigned to it in absolutely many conflicts, usually the activities of the un are limited to some framework decisions , recommendations, proposals that, as a result , do not have a critical impact on the situation that is happening in the world. i think that the future of the un will be the same as it was before, it will remain such a platform for speeches which, in fact, apart from some humanitarian missions, cannot change the situation either on the battlefields, in ukraine, in other countries, or in the plan of resolving other conflicts, not always military, therefore of course, here the organization of the united nations needs to review its positions in general, its functionality and, most importantly, the mechanisms for conflict resolution, and here the key role will undoubtedly be played

by such countries as the united states of america and great britain, as well as other g7 countries of the security council, that is, in order to reform the un and, moreover, in order to to exclude such members as russia from there, it is necessary to have the unanimous political will of the world's main players, i suspect that as of now there is no consensus between the countries, that is, for this ukrainian diplomacy must work, ukrainians must work in the world, and only by convincing each country that without russia, the future of the un will be better and it will be more effective, this is the message i think kuleba, the head of our ministry of foreign affairs, and other diplomats who work both in the fields of the un and in other countries are planning to deliver institutions of the world well, over the past 9 months, we have witnessed many such issues on which there was no consensus, but it was suddenly found , eyes were opened and ways were found to reach

compromises on these issues, although it is possible to believe that the exclusion of russia without the un will be one of such issues maksym dzhigun political scientist experts on socio-political issues were with us on a direct video link. i remind you that for me this is the foreign affairs of ukraine. dmytro kuleba said that ukraine will work to expel russia for betraying its security organizations of the united nations, friends, our tv marathon is already here. we all understood that this winter will not be easy. we found ourselves in such conditions for the first time . but i know for sure that we will endure it. they hope to send us, but they do not even know how strong and resilient we are. we light candles, dress warmer and brew
