it also affects his plans for taiwan. according to burns, china is worried because of the nuclear rhetoric of moscow itself. such a strange phantasmology is worried, but invites medvedev and discusses with him. it is impossible. i don’t see it personally, i can now confirm my theses about the fact that we need to accept the experience of the state yes, but less so, the ukrainian truth about was an interesting study, they are such a small study they identified the wagnerites in ukraine and they say that these are the same wagnerites , do you remember the detention of children was interrupted in 2020, we talked a lot about it then and commented on the ruling party of maryana bezugla, it seems like that was commented there is it really a special

temporary commission in parliamentary such a very important story, in fact it was, well, a matter of national security was and remains because the ukrainian truth has found out that it is these people, these personalities. now they are fighting against ukraine, let us remind you that small, i will just read this research, one of the militants. as it turned out, if we now show his photos, there is a 41-year-old maksym koshman, nicknamed korshun, since 2014, he is a freelance fighter of the wagner pvk and one of the 33. it is mercenaries with tattoos, yes, one of those 33 here we see him who was in belarus in 2020, he was detained there, but for some reason he was handed over to russia, we remember that at that time he had for some reason written in english he was a legate kendzami, that is, only god can judge me why in a foreign language in the language of the enemy bloc

nato has written this, i think that the fsb should deal with this guy, this is his tattoo, and it still seems that something is written on him that is not in hebrew, i.e. exactly, some kind of spy, fortune teller, well, he is joking, of course, but we were still leaking information from the ukrainian side, and apparently among high-ranking people who have access to state secrets and there was a call , meanwhile, our website espresso tv reports that we are advertising, also the shelling of nikopolshchyna happened this night, the occupiers hit a dozen houses, the gas line and the line power transmission on the night of december 21, i.e. today, the occupiers again shelled the nikopol district, russian troops also fired heavy artillery at three communities. this was reported by the head of the region , valentin reznichenko

. heavy artillery. the myrivka and chervonogrigorovka communities of manganetsk also came under enemy fire. household buildings, cars, a gas pipe and a power line . well, due to the attack of the russian troops in a private area, a fire broke out as of this morning and has been extinguished . let's comment on what oleksiy danilov says that probably russia can announce a general mobilization and close the exit for men under the age of 60-5 what do you think, how will it be received russians, sergey, you can hear us, as of now, we

have seen that russians have turned out to be quite receptive to the things that the russian government does, a-a. it is precisely because russians largely live in delusion and live in the captivity of propaganda, that is, in fact, even sociological studies have shown an interesting difference if we formulate to a different question, i remember two weeks ago the results of a sociological survey by the levada center were made public, which showed that 74% of russians support the actions of the russian military in ukraine. that is, it is actually three quarters and this practically no different from the indicators of the spring, we can think that look, 9-10 months have passed, the russians continue to support the war, but the real trick is that it is about supporting the actions of the russian military in ukraine, on the other hand, british intelligence also

gave a little about two weeks ago other data it was said that 25% of russians support the war in ukraine, you see the difference is only a quarter supports the war in ukraine and again here i want to emphasize that the difference lies in the wording because the russians as such the russians do not particularly support the war, but they are told that the actions of the russian military in ukraine are aimed precisely at making the war impossible, that is, the russians are peacekeepers there, they save the donbas from the criminal people of bandera, and so on, therefore, depending on such wording, all important points change, please explain it turns out that this is what they explain to the russians, that's why they support it, but does it make sense? many ukrainians record videos there, trying to somehow get through to

explain something to the russians. does it make sense to them at all? to explain whether their position is unchanged and there, well, just banging your forehead against the wall well, it seems to me that in such an artisanal way, let 's say, by recording individual videos, it is impossible to reach the russians, they a-a well, we have to understand that it is we in ukraine, since 1991, who have changed the information space and with what difficulties did we break this layer of russian and soviet mythologies, remember with what difficulties the same president yushchenko began to spread the truth about the famines, then in the early 2000s it was perceived by many with great distrust and skepticism and the russians did not have this period of opening archives at all, that is, the soviet period ended in 1991, there were a couple of years, 3-5 years of possible democratization, when some processes of liberalization of the spread of the truth were outlined, and immediately after

that it ended, that is, the russians and the residents continue in the birth of the soviet era, about the moral law of this russia, she never bore death. she always defended the truth that russia performed the same international duties in different countries, not because it was an expansion of the empire, but because it was it is necessary to protect these countries from some invented and built-up enemies, accordingly, when the russians are told today that a special military operation is aimed at protecting the residents of donbas who are suffering from the nazis of ukraine, then the russians, of course , support such actions because they believe that russia is doing justice. well, 3 /4 turns out to believe, that is, a quarter obviously guesses and understands how the situation actually is, and that is why i say that in an artisanal way. unfortunately , it is absolutely impossible to

convince these russians there in a matter of months, for this it really takes years and years, respectively, and the information policy of the corresponding education. of course, all this will begin after russia is defeated, after the regime there changes . the fact that we want to send your children to war and to be slaughtered. of course, few people support this, but they are not told that way. yes, they tell him that it is necessary to protect russia, which countries want to dismantle nato needs to protect the residents of donbas , who are being beaten and killed by ukrainian nazis, and that is why there is already support here. let 's put it this way, if not with shouts of hooray and forward to the embrasure, then at least it is

needed. you need to be patriots, you need to protect russia, that's why that's why we are actually how they will perceive, i think that they will perceive without enthusiasm those who will try to escape, let's say , they will try to escape if the borders are closed, that means they will hide, maybe move somewhere to the village, but in general, as of now, i do not see any signs that the russians will rise up against this or some very powerful social movements will arise that will force russia to change its policy. china and about the meeting in the fall and what he told reuters about. also, the website of the chinese government, which said that he

was invited by the communist party of china, medvedev went there, and medvedev himself said that during the meeting they discussed a quote the strategic partnership of russia and china. well, also the cooperation between these countries and the war in ukraine, who could say that before the war in ukraine , sizinpin medvedev, that is, oh, oh, oh, you're done, please, don't try, as the russians say, or vice versa. let's help you with something else. can we help on a diplomatic or purely military-technical level? what do you think , please? well, it seems to me that russia is currently largely isolated. if we talk about the countries of the civilized world that have completely sided with ukraine, we see how almost every day during the spring, summer and autumn , the leaders of the world's civilized states of the western countries traveled to kyiv, and today the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, is heading, as far as i understand, to the

united states of america, where he will probably meet with joe biden, that is, in this world, the country appears as the center can be said to be the center of the democratic western world, namely the democratic western world, to a large extent now determines the architecture of the world, on the other hand , against this background, russia appears as a country devoid of moral righteousness, which is already at the level of a number of influential international organizations have recognized terrorism as committing genocide, and accordingly, the russians need to develop an alternative policy, if they absolutely do not succeed with the countries of the west, then they accordingly look for allies of the russian federation among the countries of asia. of course, these are primarily countries with an authoritarian structure that can find a certain understanding either among the countries of south america or among

the countries of africa and so on because, for example, these allies generally correspond to russia, well , relatively speaking, putin flew to belarus. there we we don't know whether they agreed or not. well , american analysts write that they did not agree on direct military support. this medvedev flew to china. well, this axis of russia and belarus has been built for a long time. axes what movements are taking place now against the background of the prolongation of the process of russia's loss of occupied territories and in general there is the destruction of the russian economy, sanctions everything else, what is happening inside this union is interesting. look, in fact, i am common to think that putin largely received a pumpkin from lukashenka, i.e. of course , the self-proclaimed president of belarus will try in every way to avoid

the direct entry of the belarusian army into the war in ukraine, he will provide the territory of this country, it is obvious that he will provide equipment for the repair of russian equipment, but avoid the direct participation of the army of belarus, because people understand that then there will be nothing left of it and of the power and the lukashenko regime. similarly, nothing will be left as far as keitai is concerned, here i am it seems that it really does not become a complete opposition. if you look even at china's vote for the resolutions of the united nations, to a large extent they play along with russia. china does not isolate putin , that is, he met with putin. why is he meeting with medved? to be honest, it is a small one for me. a mystery, because who is medvedev today - he is enough of a clown for a character who allows himself

such statements that are absolutely unworthy of politics. that is, it is a certain court. well, but in in any case, it is unexpected for me, he accepts an official invitation, there is some kind of red carpet, good day, photography, the router, you understand everything else, well, actually, but i am still convinced that once again there will be no strategic partnership between china and russia , that is, china will balance between in an event between russia, china will not side with the west, but russia will also not be able to get what it wants from china. it seems to me that it is important for china to build certain relations with the united states of america, that is, they have a global e they have global competition against this background, by the way, during the recent meeting of the g20, biden and xi jinping just got along, it is obvious that to a large extent it was

about ukraine, and biden is convinced that he absolutely managed to influence china so that it does not support the red carpet in russia, i.e. such external mythmakers, external signs, they are likely to manifest themselves precisely in order not to fill meaningful russian-chinese relations, so russia will naturally present this as its huge geopolitical and a strategic victory will be called china as a strategic partner, but it will not be meaningfully filled, mr. serhiy, we also wanted you to comment on this news that the russian occupiers are bringing their officials from novosibirsk to the temporarily occupied territory, which indicates that they lack local collaborators. is this some kind of far-sighted strategy of psychological influence well, it seems to me that here it is definitely

possible to talk about operative things, to establish administrative administrations of the occupation due to the actual lack of personnel, because indeed, if we talk about those territories that were occupied by the russians during this year, then of course the collaborationist movement there has always failed to a certain extent, this is due to the fact that the sentiments of the citizens were largely pro-ukrainian or at least neutral and to cooperate with the occupiers does not run at all, secondly, the policy of ukraine is very correct in such a way that thanks to the partisan movement, thanks to other actions , collaborators are actually destroyed physically, and i understand that there is absolutely no very big the desire of the local population to shine in collaborative positions if they are not convinced of pro-russian sentiments. that is why these operational holes need to be closed. and this

one is actually about thousands of officials and so on. well, of course, if you point out the strategic moment, then russia would be ideal for all ukrainians resettle somewhere in siberia so that in 10-20 years they will be completely russified and, uh, dissolve it in the russian population, and ukraine, on the contrary , will be populated by russian residents, and then they will tell that russia has been here forever and i have never seen any ukrainians here, because he really never physically saw them because he came directly, so this combination of operational tasks with strategic ones is very dangerous. the right to be there, they were simply expulsions, very correctly, now you are writing to milatasheva, who is from the representative office of the president of ukraine in the autonomous republic of crimea, she has published several articles on the topic of

crimea, which she shows that our policy regarding crimea will even be enough it is transparent to everyone who came to crimea after 2014, even if he bought real estate there . he had absolutely no right to be there, and therefore they will be asked to leave crimea or be expelled. exceptions will be made only for people who, for example, started a family with local residents who lived in the crimea until the 14th year, such exceptions will be considered on a personal basis, all the rest will definitely be eviction in the same way in any territories of ukraine that are occupied by russia . in direct contact with the studio thank you for your participation and here is the latest information from the ministry of defense of great britain from bahmut over the last week, the russian military and wagner's mercenaries have advanced a little to the eastern

outskirts of the city of bahmut in the donetsk region but in urban battles they are unlikely to succeed - reported on twitter by the ministry of defense of great britain with reference to the data of the british intelligence in the summary it is noted that the russian infantry is probably entrenched in the eastern industrial areas of the city and sometimes advances into residential areas districts of the city, street fighting continues, intense fighting has been taking place in the bakhmut area since june 22, but the front line mainly passed through the open area around the eastern approaches to the city. during the war, there were practically no protracted large-scale battles precisely in shevchenko's settlements, we will add the executive director of the ukrainian rural union agent for human rights. the fact is that gaga did not recognize russia as guilty of the war in georgia's investigation was completed, based on the

results of this investigation , warrants were issued for the arrest of three ex-officials of the so -called south ossetia. well, the prosecutor found these three responsible for torture and illegal imprisonment and other crimes committed by russia during the occupation. and what is this about? testifies and can we draw analogies, does it mean something for us and for our prospects to hold russia accountable in international courts for the crimes it is currently committing in ukraine, we ask oleksandr pavlichenko executive director of the ukrainian censors' union mr. oleksandr, we congratulate you. good health. good morning. good health. safety and electricity. please comment on the court's decision not to recognize russia as guilty of the war in georgia. what does this mean for us? well, it's clear . this is a decision that was prepared based on the

results of an investigation from all the evidence that was submitted to the international criminal court to the international criminal court, which was collected directly by us as employees of the same office and uh, we now have a uh situation when really russia, which was the initiator and actually supported this aggression and committed aggressive actions, in fact an act of aggression, military aggression, and in relation to georgia in 2008 avoided responsibility as an uh, aggressor state and uh- instead, we have the accused and those who have received verdicts of representatives of all the entities that today are also a sub-russian protectorate and are illegitimate,

unrecognized, the same ones, let's say in terms of establishing them as international subjects of the state or entity. they are unrecognized on at the world level at the same time, here is the question of which jurisdiction should be responsible , that is, those newly created entities that are not actually independent states or some state entities. is it russia that actually committed this act of aggression against ukraine, then the situation here completely and completely different and here in any way there will not be in anya the so-called donetsk people's republic or the

luhansk people's republic or others or the same crimea as some kind of independent entity and here the investigation is taking place exclusively according to the crimes committed by the russian federation as the state that committed the author of full- scale aggression and is waging war starting from february 24, 2022, although ukraine insists that russia started a large-scale war starting from february 2014 and this will still have its own and evidence and i think that there will be processes of prosecution for the commission of this war that has been going on for 8 years, in this situation they are not comparable, i think that in the context of this so-called

georgian case by the way, when in the 15th year in the 16th year, materials were submitted to the iss, there were constant references to the fact that look at how the georgian case is being considered and there, indeed, russia tried to interfere in the same way by sending a huge amount of materials about what georgia was doing there war crimes or crimes against humanity and it was as if it was a platform for the competition of evidence of the acts of different parties of the crimes and actually this story with georgia became the factors why did the ukrainian authorities refuse to ratify the rome statute, fearing that it will become

the object of the same criticism, is accused of crimes that can fall under the qualification of the same war crimes or crimes against humanity, and this situation is disturbed by the international criminal court of the georgian case in fact , in my opinion, it is not an example of a too successful investigation and bringing to justice those who are the initiator , inspirer, organizer of all these actions that led to and have the consequence of the creation of the of south ossetia and the commission of the crimes that took place in august 2008, actually here it is well, not even this judicial instrument, but it will not affect the consideration of the icc and the cases that

they consider regarding war crimes committed in ukraine by the russian federation no less well, the scale of these crimes by the russian military was also significant in georgia in 2008. well, there are almost 200,000 refugees and displaced persons there, and the dead, i am quoting according to georgian data, 224 civilians died, only 224 civilians, 15 went missing, 547 were wounded and also from the georgian military, 169 people were killed, almost 1,000 were wounded, that is, the scale of the killing of the civilian population and the scale of the displacement of refugees were also quite significant, however, this is not recognized for some reason by us in the world, this is due to the fact that it is necessary to prove a direct connection between the actions

of the aggressor state, which was the russian federation, and, accordingly, the losses or the crimes declared as war crimes or crimes against humanity that are considered by the international criminal court and again there is a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, that is, here in each specific situation it was necessary to have access to the scene of the crime in order to properly obtain evidence . -th accusation is relative, but it is also about our bucha , 422 people will be extradited for the fact that russia is lying and using its propaganda is trying to

manipulatively present the facts. to which they are not related, it is necessary to be prepared for this, and it is necessary to properly form the entire evidence base and work as international experts according to international standards, so that we have the opportunity to prove these facts of commission both in national and international institutions of war crimes, and this example of georgia is just such a bell that requires more thoroughness in conducting all investigative actions before court processes, which are also not exemplary in our country, and should be set, let's say, as template let's remember these exercises of the first shishimarine or the same er artillerymen of kharkiv

who were convicted by the poltava district court to this process of prosecution for the commission of these crimes. and uh, i wanted to ask you one more question about georgia. the ukrainian ombudsman dmytro lubinets mentioned that he appealed to the georgian authorities to grant him the right to visit mykhailo saakashvili, whom we just saw in this video of the ex-president of georgia, who is now in a serious condition in the hospital well, earlier the ministry of foreign affairs seems to have told georgia that it was a special operation of the ukrainian authorities to send saakashvili to georgia in order to drag georgia into a war of some kind. well, at that time there was no full-scale invasion, but there was an invasion which began in the 14th year. how do you feel about this case of the legal protection of the ukrainian citizen

saakashvili ? in what form did he try to drive to the territory of georgia in some container ? or somewhere in a car in a hidden form? and actually, how much was it a special operation or not ? to be well, as a citizen of georgia in ukraine, they must be observed to the appropriate extent, and it is said that georgia, for example, is a member of the council of europe and the european convention on human rights, and accordingly, the standards of detention must meet the standards so as not to violate the same the very third article of the european convention on law
