there is no real reason why the russians would have raised such an outcry because of this, because if it was just a party there, well, what do they call a marching replenishment with small arms, they would just ignore it, because for themselves, this is a very difficult attack for them, a catastrophic system because technical blow so they will be filled because they are very much specialists what two months they will exhaust and extremely useful analysis ivan kyrychevsky military expert defenseexpress group well, the former commander of the united states army in europe lieutenant general ben-hodges predicts that ukraine will liberate russian-occupied crimea by the end of august if the west continues to provide the promised aid and maintains sanctions against russia. at 4:00 p.m., i will hand over the floor to our newsroom in the person of iryna koval. congratulations, iryna takes over

supported and headed for victory together, important news from the lieutenant general and a move for the former commander of the united states contingent on the european continent ukraine will liberate crimea by autumn , lieutenant general hodges wrote about this on twitter - this is tuyu ukraine will liberate crimea by the end of august if we continue to deliver what we promised and if we maintain sanctions, general hodges also believes that ukraine can liberate crimea even earlier if the defense provides high-precision long-range weapons this is an extremely important signal, but now let's talk about not just the situation on the world chessboard with oleksandr, regional expert of the council of foreign policy, ukrainian prism glory to ukraine, oleksandr i congratulate you on the new year, although we understand that all the problems that putin organized and arranged for

the entire civilized investigation of the world remain with us. there are signals that there is nothing to do, especially during the telephone conversation between putin and xizenpin, which followed a few days after the medvedev rendezvous . nothing in particular for russia appeared there maybe i'm wrong. how do you assess the situation , if we talk about potential relations or the development of certain relations between russia and the people's republic of china, then you really correctly noted that nothing active, nothing new, this meeting did not end and let's

remember that in principle it was very similar to the previous meeting previous contacts between the russians and the chinese because, in fact , china has only one smell to russia. china's request requires predictability. china needs to understand how long russia still plans to continue the so-called special military operation how long will russia continue to distract the attention of the west, how long does russia plan to remain under sanctions and continue its war, because despite the fact that this war brings china a lot of benefits, let 's say china can trade with the united states, china can distract russia with its support the attention of the west from the issues of taiwan and so on and so on, but still this war does not allow china to earn money this war does not allow china to develop normally in relation to europe and we know that in the last three years china literally nevertheless put a new trade

agreement with the european union on the altar, and therefore i do not think that these meetings were aimed at any new document, new relations or any help, these meetings were aimed at the russians at least at the current level of support for china political and for china in the future to put pressure on russia in order to somehow stabilize the situation mr. oleksandr, i spoke recently with daniel fried, the former head of the united states state department for sanctions policy, yes, a man who is over 40 worked in the state department for years and was involved in the real politics of the united states in central europe, a person who is, so to speak, extremely informed. neither control nor stop

russia has always been china's junior partner at least for the last few years now it is quite obvious that russia is an aggressive and incompetent junior partner i doubt the chinese will go at risk for putin's sake, on the other hand , an extremely important signal came from our nsdc secretary oleksiy danilov and he warned that russia could become a colony of one of the neighboring countries and this situation could be very dangerous. the fact is that the russians may have owners, we today, quoting the secretary of the nsdc, danilov, we are observing that a certain neighboring country is gradually taking russia under its control because it has its own interests there, and this is a very, very dangerous trend for the whole world, including for us. according to oleksandr, which

of the neighboring countries did the secretary of the national security and defense council specifically mean, china , iran or someone else, in fact, did he really mean china, because as you and i have already said , it is beneficial for china that russia diverts the attention of the west to itself, it is also beneficial for china even the fact that russia is becoming weaker, we saw during 22 the few days when the moscow stock exchange opened, as chinese investors and chinese state banks actively began to buy up literally whole a-a five percent ten percent packages shares of federal companies of the russian federation, including gazprom, roseft , nurnickel, and many others, that is, the chinese literally do understand the true status of russia, they repeatedly in their speeches and within the framework of

the ministry of foreign affairs. there are no equations. china already obviously perceives russia as a junior partner, you can even say as a vassal, and therefore medvedev's visit was actually a visit of a vassal who demanded that his suzerain not withheld support and did not speak out against him , so in fact it is obvious that chinese economic and political expansion will still spread to russia as well, alexander, your visions, your forecasts, in particular, are about the terms of supplying us with long-range missiles and, so to speak, heavy tank equipment from the west, we understand that the story of the american patriots probably crosses the finish line, and this is an extremely important story, because it is the crossing of a certain i don't know such a moral watershed in the west. it comes from the other side, we understand that despite the fact that the petri system - it is extremely productive and useful for us, but for our

offensive actions, first of all, we need heavy armor. well, again, we hear the story about the white bull, you know, and everything is ringing, let 's let jones tell the hans to hand it over to the gentleman and so on and so on, there are still no tanks. as you can see in the history of the supply of heavy weapons to us, in fact, there are several happening here, firstly, they are as pragmatic as possible in order for the ukrainians to be able to use weapons it did not happen. that is, we see that the promise of supplying the patriots took place literally at the level of how we learned that the ukrainian crews are already undergoing training in order to literally within a few months, not six , not nine months as usual in standard training, but literally within a few months already able to master to use these

er these complexes if we are talking about tanks, the americans will obviously wait because they often referred to these conditions of adequate weather conditions for their use in conditions non-urban combat, that is, the americans said a lot that currently in the south, tanks will be um, with almost zero effectiveness, they said the same about the eastern flank, that is, in fact, if we talk about any prospects. although it is very difficult to forecast now, we should aim for at least the middle of spring maybe the beginning of summer, just by the time we have the armed forces of ukraine ready to go to new frontiers and prepare for the operation both near donetsk and on the line of the administrative border with the temporarily occupied crimea. therefore, for now we can to focus on a positive scenario in the middle of the beginning of summer, well, the scenario is positive, but we understand at what price, in the absence of a powerful technical defense, it will be given to us, on the other hand,

certain negotiations are ongoing, well, at least maybe they are in a frozen phase, but here is an extremely important signal from the ex-prosecutor in the case of milosevic jeffrinais, he suggested that the west avoids directly accusing putin of war crimes in order to have the prospect of a political settlement in exchange for his immunity from prosecution in in the future. yes, we remember that russia did not receive the status of a state sponsor of tero, and so on. and there it was called an aggressor state, well , that's something else, and so on. how do you think we should treat the assessment of the situation by mr. nines, this assessment is quite pragmatic. i would said in some ways even cynical in the good sense of the word. in fact, such a scenario is always possible and, first of all, our lawyers, internationalists, our diplomats need to communicate clearly and constantly be

in contact with our partners, we must understand whether such a scenario really exists any signs that he is starting to materialize, well, try to stop this scenario, try to give counterarguments and an opposite position that will indicate that, well, it is impossible to save putin, as an international criminal of such a scale, from responsibility in any way, that is, in fact, it is very good that just such a person with such an internationally recognized status declared that there is a threat. as he said, just such a development of the situation. our task, together with partners who said that putin should be condemned, is first of all poland of the baltic countries. if i don't i'm wrong, the czech republic, great britain, yes, we have to work with them so that there is not even a possibility of such a development of events, firstly , secondly, we have to continue working with international judicial bodies, many countries are already filing lawsuits with us , gathering evidence, they are ready with us to work on

this case and therefore in one way or another, but we must do everything possible for that and arrange the very conjuncture of international law in such a way that such a scenario not only does not occur to anyone, but it becomes impossible for every russian criminal in the first place turn, putin suffered a fair punishment. well, on the other hand, the key task is to get him into the hands of international justice. as far as i understand, neither putin nor his entire criminal gang is far away. in an interview with the funky media group, he stated the following, that is , that there are certain prospects, perhaps at the beginning of the summer, the establishment of a truce. of course, if there is the will of both sides of the war at the

current stage. talk about the summer, so it could be. well , he says that the ceasefire means we stop firing. negotiations will probably take a long time. you need a mediator, perhaps the secretary general of the un guterres , the president of turkey, erdoğan, or the prime minister of india, modi, although no one. doesn't actually impose itself, we understand that well, the situation on the front line will be resolved by our military, so let's hope that we receive proper fire support from our partners, friends, and so on, but the moment of the named mediators erdogan guteri shmody, in your opinion, how far are there prospects in general to talk about certain interventions by mediators and the strengthening of certain unexpected lines of negotiations well

, we already see a ruler who wants to have his own agenda, who wants to establish himself as what is now called a pole of power, he is trying himself to push as a winner in a potential negotiation between ukraine and russia we have seen such efforts on the part of macron than he wanted to confirm his status as a european leader we have seen such efforts from the side of the regiman, this is his own political project of the contention of the turkic-speaking world, indeed, young people do not yet express such positions, but in fact, india would always be ready for such, such, such a turn of events, because india considers itself a standard of neutrality, a standard of moderation and a mediocre position in international relations if to say about guterres is actually the most neutral option, which even if

i remember correctly, our side expressed itself as a potentially possible moderator for such negotiations, but in fact so far we can see that the americans and europeans and even the british did not speak out against the presence of any moderator, but of course there were no heated discussions about this moderator, fortunately, fortunately, all our allies adhere to the same line that only ukraine has the right to decide when and on under what conditions to start negotiations, that is, for now, despite individual european statements, regardless of even individual quotes from certain congressmen, no one is forcing us to choose a moderator by forcing us to choose a moderator. so to speak, it is most likely that there will be a mediator, but no. so far, we have never been forced to. thank you very much, mr. oleksandr, for this extremely interesting analysis on the live broadcast of the espresso tv channel. oleksandr krayev, an expert of the council
