well, at every step. thank you, mr. ambassador, for this detailed analysis . volodymyr yelchenko, ex-representative of ukraine at the un in 15-19 years, former ambassador of ukraine to the united states, at 8:21 p.m., worked now on the live air of our telethon. for what we are grateful to him, we go then it's half past three, now we'll talk, in particular, about the analytics of the institute for the study of war and one of the last tpps that they supposedly analyze . the president of russia, vladimir putin, constantly offers some kind of negotiations and is ready for them, but then he did not talk about negotiations directly with the ukrainian side in his interview on december 25, it was from an appeal to western countries and a continuation of the kremlin's rhetoric that ukraine is allegedly a pawn, and then did not directly state that russia is ready to conduct direct negotiations with ukraine, instead maintaining his false advice that ukraine he simply called the other side violated russia's diplomatic efforts before the invasion, well

, the institute for the study of war emphasizes that the kremlin did not publish the full transcript of putin's interview on its official website, as it did before, possibly in order to facilitate the distortion of putin's statement about the negotiations, which was originally broadcast in russian, and according to analysts, putin's statement about the negotiations focuses on potential discussions with the west and not with ukraine. and doubting putin's readiness to negotiate the end of the war, antonio tayani believes that putin's words are at variance with his actions. putin states that he seems to want to start negotiations on a peaceful settlement, but the facts tell us no, we quote antonio and yanni, if this readiness were true and sincere, i believe that if there had been no shelling on the eve of christmas, according to putin, the facts do not

follow, pantaiani noted, according to him, confirmation of the real readiness of the russian leadership for dialogue could be a decision regarding zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, but such signals have not yet been received, and the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of italy confirmed that italy will continue to send weapons to ukraine in connection with the studio vitaliy kulyk, director to the center for the study of civil society problems, we congratulate you, mr. vitaliy glory to ukraine glory to ukraine i congratulate you as a hero glory , mr. vitaliy, for what purpose do you think putin regularly gives false signals, so to speak, that he is ready for some kind of peace negotiations, no one in the world believes him no one in ukraine believes him, maybe it is designed purely for an internal audience, so putin in quotes is such a peace- loving person and is ready for peace. and maybe it has

some additional goals of his, well, actually speaking he is already making all the messages for the west and he does not abandon the hope that he will be able to turn the page of relations, restart the relations of the west, establish some ideas of interaction in the formation of a new world order after the war, therefore, he sees such a subject as a subject capable of negotiation precisely with the collective the west has an understanding of the european union and the united states as a smaller peace-european son, the united states therefore messengers go primarily for the west, this is the first, the second is to the western voter to show that russia ready for negotiations but the curators of ukraine in the political news of the event are not ready for the majority of the event, and the target audience of these

statements is doubly ready. to test the readiness of the west to engage in some kind of substantive conversation, such pebbles appear from time to time thrown from the kremlin and they try to probe the position of certain countries of the diplomatic corps of representatives of the political stamp of the european union and they throw at similar theses they are not only from putin, they came from the ministry of foreign affairs from other leaders of the russian federation, that is, from time to time, the readiness of the west to enter into some kind of negotiations is measured , feedback is received, and again it returns to the er activity that russia does not leave, that is, now to speak that russia is ready for negotiations we do not have this negotiating position with which it advocates

, it is not ready for these negotiations, moreover, we are not, we are not the west, we are not ready to talk with russia from those negotiating positions from which russia speaks out because russia extremely wants to leave the territory of ukraine. she does not want to leave the entire territory, you can leave the troops accordingly, well, what kind of negotiations, what to order with russia then, what does russia offer us as a negotiator? that is, well, there is no added value here, yes, vitaliy well, no less, of course, a less interesting topic, but in a practical sense, we understand that it also has a lot to do with it, it is about the last cis so-called informal summit that took place in st. petersburg. that's where putin distributed rings to those who came there nine rings to the buzzer, yes , an interesting signal arrived from pashinyan, it is about the lachen corridor. for what purpose did putin

gather people who agreed to come, people are not the last heads of state, in particular, there is the respected tokariv and aliyev and so on. well, they came like you he humiliated all the others. no, well , the list is worth understanding that this summit is important for putin, in this way he shows the spheres of his fo- influence on and this is an illustration externally and internally of the countries that are part of the cis, so far they are part of it. now they do not see for themselves the opportunity to distance themselves as much as possible from russia, although in practice it is not formal - not in significant moments . market of uzbekistan

, we see how in tajikistan chinese companies are pursuing an aggressive policy of attacking markets that were previously captured by the russians . that is, this is all happening, this is all happening . but when russia is in such a in such a position, the accumulation of aggression, the neighbors of the russian federation in post-soviet eurasia are still coming to russia to see putin in order not to provoke possible aggression against their countries, they understand that this symbolic gesture is so important for putin, they are clients of russia in economic and security terms, so far they are not clients are able to tear the eyes of universities are not able to give up these rings called and so they simply show such uh symbolic loyalty to putin by coming

to these informal cis er, we will not observe any different results that will affect economic or security cooperation, as in previous summits. also, we did not see this during right here in steel asia, russia . not russia, where central asia, i.e., plays a controlling role in post-soviet eurasia, and such, since it is now in a situation of war on the purchased aggressive potential, its neighbors who are in it, client-patronage relations, are forced to register their loyalty to putin, they are forced to come to themselves and make certain statements symbolizing their positive attitude towards putin, but despite this, we see how in uzbekistan they

close the accounts of russian residents, we see how tajikistan refuses to pay it in rubles, e-e, we see customs fees as in they do not give the opportunity to use e-e credit cards of e-e kyrgyzstan and uzbekistan for russian residents, that is, it directly concerns the interaction, they testify to something other than loyalty and gradually the eccentricity of oleksii loses control over this region, it tries to consolidate , puts pressure on these leaders, demands their attendance, and gives them rings of omnipotence to the ring , but these are rings, as a rule. to topkin's book well, the prime minister of armenia, pashonyan, never allowed himself to ask putin rather sharp questions, you know that for

almost 20 days the lanchyn corridor has been blocked , this is the area of ​​responsibility of the russian peacekeepers in nagorno-karabakh, i want to remind you that according to the tripartite statement of the presidents of the russian federation, azerbaijan and the prime minister of armenia, the latin corridor should be under the control of russian peacekeepers, in fact, he reproaches putin with these kittens, and then he himself, let's say, intermediates, on the very day of this informal summit, emphasized that well, here we are in the cis there is also a problem. of course there are controversial issues, but that is why we meet to discuss them. well, uh, will this be preserved? excuse me, the brotherhood of the ring, so to speak, or after all, this wedge is in the armenian to the azerbaijani one, hm. it can somehow hit putin about russia as the cis, as an integration entity, it does not exist. this is just a club of presidents of post-soviet countries who from time to time meet in russia or somewhere else to discuss some symbolic things. this is

just a tribute because russia considers the cis to be its sphere political responsibility , in fact , there are more than enough conflicts between uzbekistan and kyrgyzstan, tajikistan and uzbekistan, turkmenistan and kazakhstan, and these conflicts sometimes manifest themselves in military skirmishes, as was the case between kyrgyzstan and tajikistan, which come to the use of heavy equipment, tanks are large-caliber artillery, this is a war in the caucasus than borzhan and armenia, all these countries are members of the cis, some of them are even members of the military-political bloc of the cis, for example, kyrgyzstan and tajikistan, but this does not rule out a military clash between them, border or even full-fledged, that is, such a cis space, then as an integration association, there is simply no common game,

no common rules, no real integration, cooperation, there are simply zones of interests of the russian federation and it is trying to formalize these areas of interests as the alleged existence of some kind of high-speed integration in the post-soviet space, as such it has not existed for a long time. therefore, uh, these uh, this is not integration, it cannot even be compared there with uh, asian or uh by the british commonwealth or by conferences of north african countries or by the arab league where there are real integration interactions at the horizontal level in the cis there is no place for this anymore . at the moment it is here and putin's so-to-speak is a sycophant, yes, the deputy head of their

security council medvedev unleashed some absolutely crazy article. i think everyone has read it, it is about the strategic forecast for the next year, that is, medvedev has surpassed himself well, but we see that he has remained, so to speak in the cage , he flew even with an extremely interesting and interesting visit to sisinpin. and most importantly , he accepted him, which means that the bear brought something to beijing, in your opinion, mr. vitaliyovych , what did medvedev bring ? insiders, we have seen in the press and around this summer, people who are investigating china were discussed, it was about those questions, the quality of the sample voiced in front of putin during personal meetings, what is the plan of the donbass military campaign - this is the third year, what are the intermediate points that will be considered the achievement of one or another results, how will this affect the

relations between china and russia, what volumes of energy carriers in russia are ready to provide, when will chinese companies be able to participate in the privatization, more precisely, the purchase of deposits on sakhalin, when will the carrying capacity of the power of siberia to china be increased, and chinese goods can enter certain segments of russian markets, that is, these practical questions that were formed as a package of putin in the person of mr. medvedev came with answers to this day, this is not nonsense, as some are trying there is not a personal messenger to describe. well, just sing what i love. i formed an answer to him, he brought it . i personally handed them to him. in his place, it could have been at least semenyan, at least peskov, anyone, just medvedev, after all, he was the president the formal president of the russian federation, and of course you appreciate and personally receive

and hear a personal personal message from putin, all the same bey did his job, the pager returned to russia and there he received it, it is said that now he will not be a member or even the head, now i will find the presidential military he will be the first deputy chairman of the industrial commission, i don't know. it seems to me that medvedev is somehow being returned to the orbit of some more or less beautifully sounding positions and more or less weighty visits to a country that is interesting for russia. they give him beautiful titles of positions without portfolios , yes, powers. there are none, there are no deputy members of the security council, not how to cooperate with the military orthodox complex. that is, these are positions without portfolios without real functionality. he is not responsible for anything in the system of

political decision-making in the crimean decisions in russia. he he can simply voice some things using this or that position, uh, and it becomes possible, then he is considered as putin's subconscious, quoted, extorts prices for messages, through him you can broadcast something to use him as such a hater of the west as such a hawk to make him really vyrunovsky or zhirynovsky is dead but his cause lives on well, there is only a lack, so to speak, of the tricks of the late zhirynovsky , so to speak, so to speak, let him have fun in hell thank you very much, mr. vitaly, unfortunately we have to finish our conversation, but the analysis is extremely high-quality and deep vitaliy kulyk , director of the center for researching civil society problems, worked now on our live broadcast well, unfortunately, they are spreading air alarms in our country in many ukrainian regions, except for

kharkiv and kyiv. i see it like this. now everywhere is red and buzzing. according to some information, the take-off of strategic bombers on the territory of belarus is machu-leshchak airfield. well, this means that you still need to be careful and go to the shelter, what will antinu and i do now, well, stay tuned to the tv channel, plus i decided that i would really rather do more with a machine gun than with a microphone, at this moment they would shoot us once without a break with aggression in lng for four hours in a row, i thought that i died for seconds ilya berezenko, a ukrainian journalist who, after the full-scale invasion of russia, joined the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine and participated in the defense of

kyiv region. in 2013, while studying at the university, i covered the events of the revolution of dignity and russian aggression against ukraine. well, i was one of the last passengers of the donetsk airport in general history. we flew there when they took over donetsk, filmed in donetsk itself at the moment of the takeover, so uh, they filmed directly and broadcasted how they took over the prosecutor's office, how they tried to storm the sbu, uh, and then we mean they tried to attack us right at this rally, no, it just has to be someone who is not the sbu in donetsk, it was the first time when i was in the very place of donetsk, so at the airport, i was passing by once again when i was already filming in the east, there was already

little left of the airport at that time that i could recognize from the moment i arrived there a large survey was brought to donetsk itself, quite extensive, and most of the respondents there said that they do not shoot at all, what kind of movements are these with uh, fascination with the branch because they are not aware and said that most of the people at the rallies are not from donetsk itself, now you uh- already a military man, after a full-scale invasion, you joined the ranks of tereo and now you are protecting our country no longer on the information front, but directly, and you already have a chance to return to donetsk in a different role , do you even believe that this will happen soon? i do not no, i won't say too soon, but i'm sure that it will happen , because in fact i don't see any other way out of this situation. that is, i don't see any possibility. not a political one, not even a moral one for

some conditional minsk three, four, five, ten, it's simply impossible given the situation due to the fact that we can't just stop everything now and stop and i think it will be a complete fiasco if someone thinks of such a thing, but in fact, fortunately , it hasn't happened yet. i hope that it won't be like that. so that i really wanted to go to donetsk, but right now, i’ll be honest, but in terms of liberating the city, of course, i always think more about crimea, honestly. when i thought about the liberation of ukrainian territories there, i always imagine myself standing in some kind of conditional yalta like that -ha, because at first, since the 14th year, i have never gone to the crimea, it was such a personal

decision of mine. crimea will have to be visited and visited to the crimea. yes, you decide to join the tereo. was it a spontaneous decision or did you plan it? well, in fact, it turned out very strange. i wouldn’t say whether it was planned or spontaneous. it ’s just strange that he is not interested in all military weapons. training both with the americans and with the zriltians, but i didn't make it official, since i was a journalist and a weapons journalist - it's a bad combination in any case, but when i was already there, i mentally prepared to go somewhere with my family. i understood. well, the news has already arrived that the enemy forces are advancing towards brovary, and i decided that i would really rather do more with a machine gun than

with a microphone at the moment, that even if they don't let me go there, they are shooting in an attack there, i will teach people e because i understand how many unqualified personnel will come to military service at that time, and that's how it was, the queues were incredible in brovary, right, well, kilometer long queues to sign up. there were trios . well, at each point of registration, more of the work at the beginning was, after all, pov' connected with by digging endless trenches there kilometers kilometers around there brovariv villages in the brovarsky district was partially occupied and they did not reach your positions we had two main lines of conflict the first one was behind the breweries behind the settlement of gogol there is a small village there and we had the line of contact and the second - it was actually a battle for the city of brovary, then you

continued your service and already defended other regions of ukraine, so tell me how the events unfolded further and er, where were you relocated, where were you served further? well, in the summer, there was a cleanup of the chernihiv forests. we were there. there were large squads and troops, and special forces from these went looking for the remnants of the russian army's spoils. well, it was all there literally until a week, and after that we were informed that we had to go to the donetsk direction to protect bakhmut with what we could we started training in august, and i think at the beginning of november, we took the last of our fighters out of there, those whom i know about whom are on

rotation there, it is very difficult there, it is a difficult situation from the very beginning. we there they defended their positions and were at different positions directions around bakhmut itself and constant shelling, well, i don't remember such a thing in donbas , that is, maybe it happened so that i didn't notice , but many of those who were in the anti-terrorist operation, then lovys, they say that they don't remember such a thing in donbas. in particular, i'm talking about constant artillery shelling is so direct, well, very strong, and it can pile up there for 3.4-5 hours, and in fact, you can’t do anything except sit there in the trench, pray or hope that you won’t fall on us, we have serious losses there, unfortunately for us different from our enemies, we lose the best of ours because of the fact that people from all walks of life joined the army there and died, very

good people, my friends, comrades with whom i served there, and the last months there are very difficult. place is to sit under constant shelling, but somehow it so happened that there were direct shooting battles, and they were the easiest because of the fact that they were there 3-4 times a day. as per the schedule, we went to our positions, tried to occupy them, shot them. well, we inflicted on them was not a very serious damage , that is, despite the fact that we have losses and they are serious, and it is very difficult for me, i can accurately state at this stage that the losses that we inflicted on them in a week are not proportional to those that well, we suffered, well, we defended there, and kharkiv region was cleared, and we advanced in the kherson direction. okay, i’ll reassure myself that the general situation is great, of course. well, it’s very difficult there in places.

now you’re in rehabilitation, you were injured . it was also in the donetsk direction, there. it turns out there are different positions, well, conditionally speaking, zero is the front line, there is a position that you guys name among yourselves -1 is when your positions are for the front line. i visited, i defended two such positions, on one side, it was surrounded by enemies on two sides, uh, on the last position on which i was advised, we were enemies, exactly from three sides, i fly over your positions, an explosion, an explosion, and a shot, a shot from lng, and it whistles very loudly at the beginning, and then it comes to you, and they are generally designed to fight tanks, but since they have that, i understood such an excess is awesome of all this good, they would shoot us once without a break for aggression in the lng cave for

four hours, well, it was very steep, well, really very bad, and when i was actually wounded, the situation was that i warned them that they had direct visual contact with us that is, they can see us without a drone, they told me that most likely this cannot happen, and here and there, right in front of my loved one, an lng projectile exploded. i thought that i died for a second . i'm like that well, okay, then i realized that i'm still alive, i started run to the trench on i was all cut down and on my knee pads a smoke grenade was hanging on me at the development it was pierced er me by the way, a kevlar collar saved me the more armor the better it goes into the tree hit by a projectile and fragments of wood fragments on the glass i got this collar and balaklava, i ran to my trench, then i realized that i had to pass the deadline for the operation, and we

had a little trouble with communication, and i knew that the walkie-talkies were over there through the trench, and i ran out and i ran to that trench. i realized that i could not see the deration i do not i know where she is. i can hear it from the chance. her voice is so quiet. she is from above. from above, i just follow her with my left hand, and an lng explosion hits me, and three fragments fly into my left hand. i never let go of my walkie-talkie. i rolled into the chance. my husband gave me his first aid kit my first aid kit together with my belt remained where i was, where i ran from, so i quickly wrapped my hand and relayed on the radio that i am 300, that is, i am wounded, that they are piling it up, and i was immediately told that there is one more man of my brother who wants to take me for evacuation and we with my twin successfully evacuated thanks to hmm in fact, the very coordinated actions of the guys who

were there at ground zero and of our leadership and drivers, because a driver in war is a very heroic person who drives straight shots and takes people away under shots, that's why they had such an influence on one person, on the other, on the fourth on the fifth, then to dnipro, from dnipro, he is on his way to kyiv to the main hospital, but now you are feeling well, at first because of the contusions, it was very difficult, there were problems with my speech, i stuttered for about a week. this situation became easier for me later. they prescribed a whole first-aid kit of pills, or did it become even easier here with my hands? it's generally health, it's the first priority, i wish you a speedy

recovery so that you feel as good as possible but do you still plan to continue or return to the service, or maybe we're waiting for you in our ranks, ah, well, unfortunately, you're one of the few the problems that i see in our current army of the armed forces are hospital documentation, bureaucracy, now i have to go through a bunch of all kinds of doctors and get a bunch of different conclusions and decisions about that and about it, i plan to come back for a while well, while i am needed i think that i will serve and how you won't say there, it's all normal well, since we're going to rest in the crimea, there's no need to bribe, join the community
