good day, good health to you and glad to see you on our air, i congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes, so let's not start immediately with the results of the year, at least - i would like to hear from you very briefly the foreign policy results of the year, but there is, mr. ambassador, i would like to ask you about which of the world leaders in 2022 pleasantly impressed you. and who i was disappointed by a very difficult question, in fact, after everyone had already summed up the results of the year, to summarize the results of the results... well, i would not dare to do it now, because there are the results of the world and the results of ukraine, of course, the most important thing for us is, after all, we are ukraine, and in this sense, ukraine was and is in the center of the world's attention, indeed, the subjectivity of ukraine has increased and this is primarily related to the war against

a strong enemy of a nuclear state. let's be honest with such a huge amount of human resources, including that we survived the de-occupation of a significant area of ​​captured territory impressed many, especially the methods, professionalism, dedication, motivation of the ukrainian troops, the ukrainian people, the defense forces of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, i think that is the main thing that happened in the year, and it is not surprising that all the ratings of e-e book awards are there now , the city of kyiv is the city the world's first rating, i, as a kyivan, am very happy about this as a person who now lives in kyiv, that's why ukraine was in the center of attention. this is probably the main summary of the year regarding individuals, obviously the attention of the world was enjoyed by the president of ukraine

, and this is a fact that shows that what i said first was the focus of attention on ukraine, and it also shows that volodymyr zelenskiy was able to use his best quality as a communicator , that is, here, very successfully that is, we can say that it really had a serious impact on the outside, and evidence of this is also the fact that he was constantly in the center of attention not only as the president of a male country, but simply as a person who was actively active in this information space. if we talk about those people on whom the fate of the world depended and depends, then i will honestly tell you that they did not disappoint more than what they did hope, gave hope, and i do not want to name each of them by their surnames. each of them is one of those leaders of the world states who could to stop the war very

quickly each of them did not want to do this for me it is very information well not information conclusion what uh well i do he is very alarming because well i would like that the leadership qualities uh for history they would show more decisively than some pragmatic actions and so far i would not name such leaders in the format of ronald reagan or margaret thatcher or general devul or other such historical figures. by the way, i will say historical figures. if you read their biography carefully, then you don't care to watch anything, but in history they remained as very strong, decisive figures who

made a decisive decision, but this did not happen in the 22nd year, i really hope that it will happen in the 23rd . the transformation of people in the course of things boris johnson turned out to be the most flexible and the fastest in changing his position, i would say so if you asked boris johnson on february 25 and the opposition, you would be very surprised, and i believe that i am grateful to all those who first the days of this, let's take kyiv in three days, yes, the strategy that he simply destroyed in direct contact with the offices of such people as jazz is burning and that he is more adequate than others. this is without a doubt, that is, the first to find his way, the first to arrive, the first to take a clear position, this is evidence not only of his experience as

politics, but also personally, really leadership qualities, the specifics of his actions, that is, i wish him to continue to act in the same way, he won with such quick decisive actions, he won over many european politicians, if we previously discussed france, germany as engines of european development, we returned to britain again, this is a transfer of that that britain, on the contrary, left the european union, and britain demonstrated and fought in the leadership qualities of not only its own, but that of its country. at the beginning of the new year, president zelenskyi had already held four conversations with as international partners, russia is mobilizing those it wants to leave to die, we were mobilizing the civilized world, the president said in yesterday's evening address to the ukrainians that we will see president zelensky defense, sanctions and financial support

were discussed today with prime minister trudol, how can we further increase the pressure on russia, it is felt that the canadian help to our defense this year will retain its strength. thank you to norway for the very powerful decisions that have already been adopted, such are still being prepared, this also applies to the armed support, the role of norway may become truly historic in the defense of europe, if we implement everything we are talking about now, this also applies to the support of our energy system . in particular, i thank norway for its willingness to help provide ukraine with the necessary amount of gas for this winter . by prime minister sunek i felt that we equally perceive the importance of this year, the prospects of this year, the fact that right now it is possible to achieve a decisive advantage without letting russia win back at this or that

front direction. thank you to the netherlands for the same understanding of justice as we do in what and how this war should end. today, mr. prime minister, i informed the people about the nearest calculations of the enemy, about the fact that russia is preparing for the winter months and the beginning of spring. i am sure that ukraine will be heard in europe by mr. valery's things, trump's former national security adviser john bolton said that the united states of america and great britain should do everything in order for ukraine to defeat russia the federation in 2023, otherwise there will be problems with china and in the morning and the dprk, i quote, everything will go awry in relations with china and together with north korea and other countries that will see in this something less than an unequivocal victory of kyiv, evidence of the weakness of the west, which they will take advantage of without hesitation, he wrote in columns for the telegraph do you

share this opinion that the victory of ukraine over russia in 2023 will be a certain marker for china, the dprk and iran, well, let's start with the fact that i would like it to happen in 2023, let's be honest, let's talk about reluctance in reality, i believe that this year will rather become a transition year and this year, in my opinion, will become a year when the war can move to the territory of russia and i am not saying that it is necessary that the armed forces of ukraine will do this. no, i am simply stating that war is a broad concept there are a lot of things here, even the military component . you see how their planes are shot down and they are doing a lot of things in panic there, so i do not rule out that it will move and this year will be so transitional already further to the truly

ukrainian victory, to say exactly when i can't attack, as the americans say , we will help as much as necessary, and in this case we will have to stand firm in defense and then in the offensive as much as necessary regarding the second part that this is really a result that will strengthen the following, well actually the victory of ukraine will give the opportunity for a pause for politicians to find an optimal new global model because so far this destroyed uh and russia continues to destroy no answer they can't find nevrat-bezi and they are not looking for something in other structures but very, very slowly and obviously very ineffective, that is why some pause will be needed to give education for diplomacy, the victory of ukraine will give such a pause, if not, then what i said, the war will quickly move not only where

it should end on the territory of russia, but it will move further, it can be true more active actions in their regions in china's south asia, it may even be conflicts in europe, we see a difficult situation turkey is called a difficult situation kosovo serbia that is, everyone is looking at whether it is possible to do as putin is doing, everyone is looking at that can the right of force be imposed from above, as soon as everyone feels that the right of force can be imposed from above without major consequences, the world will plunge into a serious well, i won't say it will completely fall apart but it will be a lot of local regional conflicts at once in this regard, many are right well, i know what he expresses often this is more. well, not radical. but more. maybe they speak so harshly because he said so when he was the national security adviser about china. yes. the same and he is right. in this regard,

china really depends on china now . e china is looking at the situation, what is going well, what is going wrong with putin, and depending on this, it will plan in its actions, i will tell you even more damage from what i see and analyze, china may go faster than we expect, because china is starting to slip, as putin as a savior he seized the salt for the war in order to stay in power until the end of his life, and senpin can take the aggravation of the situation and the tightening of the nuts inside the country in china, not only among the gurs, but more broadly, that is, the creation of a tougher model is not easy controlled by the chinese model of an authoritarian and also such a police state, that is, then it will be inevitable that there will be active action outside, and it may come sooner , so i agree in this regard with the former national security adviser of the united

states, and also just a person who of this position, when we talked with him, they said very realistic things. in many ways, that is why i agree with him and i think that the countries of the west of the united states should now, first of all, invest as much as possible in the victory of ukraine in order to prevent such a development of events. in his new year's address, putin talked a lot about the so-called special military operation, and to put it simply, about russia's war against ukraine and, judging by the fact that he talked about a bigger topic and let's say a more important topic for putin inside the russian federation, there is no other than the war against ukraine, we we can see that during the 20 years of putin's presidency, well, with a short break for medvedev, that the topic of ukraine is the main one in putin's political biography and that the topic of taming ukraine is

the main goal of vladimir putin or do you agree with this statement? well, maybe only i will say, in my opinion, he had a broader approach, he was always a deep soviet person. although he talks there about the russian empire, the restoration, but he is probably more soviet after all, such a person, well, everyone just jumped out somehow and then you see such a disease, if people can't, they can't cross some historical milestone, i don't know what it 's called, who remain living in the same state when everything moves forward and a person remains in the same state as it was, it is necessary to give this a conclusion, he remained here if you take the soviet union and any statements or actions from afghanistan, there are many other actions, this is just kalka from that time, it's just that she's somehow more so lying - it's nocturnal, uh,

all these conventions have already been rejected, he is a person who wants this his soviet union everything around has been restored, that is, it is impossible from the very beginning well, but he wants to do it, so his desire was to show how in a timely manner khrushchev will be thrown from the west, wave these ballistic missiles, there is nothing more to wave, objectively, that's why he here he is doing it, and then i will say what could not have happened in ukraine, after all, the key idea for him is how he wants to show his equality with the west, well, in his understanding, the united states, china arose, but now you look at the beginning of putin's presidency, russia in china talked about russia in china, china said that important relations with russia were looking for some kind

of solution there. see how everything turned out. how christian vassals are already going to china. this is what putin actually succeeded in. that is, his wishes led to the complete opposite. russia weakened russia more and more. at that's why his internal model of development, his vision has strengthened, that is, it is a country that has become more authoritarian, more flooded, more police, where the top is small , now it's actually safer. let 's be honest, they are achieving their goals and goals goals, as they say there, special military operations, they achieved the whole of such a russian special operation, they conquered now those who did not want to follow such a model, but they threw them out of the borders of russia, they all left cleaned up in the power block those who considered

other scenarios, the cleaning started a long time ago , well, in 2014, it became even more intense after the crimean canal, and now they clean them further, that is, the entire russian special operations then reaches inside their country, and a lot is done for them. not for us, you think drones are flying only at us, that's iranian no, they are flying according to the model that could be in this part of the world in russia in particular and then wants to stop it and first of all strikes at russia that's why it's a paradox but most of putin's actions are aimed at russia, even if they are done externally. valeria, we have already mentioned china and the chinese leader, all the gossip to which dmytro medveev used to go as a postman to deliver a message from putin, but we know that on december 30, it

happened. a video call between putin and siedenpin, and putin said that he was expecting a visit by the chinese leader to moscow to discuss the prospects of military cooperation between china and russia, but the chinese leader did not confirm that he would come to moscow what does china's position in the current situation mean now for ukraine and for the world, that is, if all the calls come to moscow? does this mean that china will demonstrate to the whole world that they are ready to deal with putin, whom they consider a war criminal, most of the leaders of the western world do not want to stand with them nearby and this means a new alliance between russia and china. will china absorb russia? what does this mean for the world order? well, i'll tell you that i'll start

with a big one. the fact is that there is an impression that world politicians have not come up with anything repetition of the cold war model, the paradox is that there was a cold war, they called it a war, but the key word for everyone was cold , the number of regional conflicts was really smaller, that is, in this period, it is possible that for several decades there was a more peaceful situation and they, well, how they think although if you look at the humanitarian situation in africa, look at what genocide was there, how many people were killed in such confrontations, i will not say that they are right, but in general for key states in the usa, china, the soviet union, and then russia , and it was somehow more understandable. well, we have this model there. but even in soviet times, everything was fine. they want to restore this model. only

now there will be the usa on one side and allies and partners on the other side, china and their satellites such as russia, and the position of india is not yet clear. by the way, this year, somewhere from april to may, the population of the future china will be larger. china has begun to slow down in its economic development, well, at least in the indicators that were talked about, and therefore, of course, it will appear, in my opinion, in a combination not only in asia, not only from china, it will sound, india will sound, other countries will sound like this. this model is now being built, well, in this model of russia, where are the principles, we can see. where did they drive them? i called it so soft, but judging by the way medvedev traveled there, it's not just satellites, it's even more national times, it's like if you hang out with the russian federation, you meet something like that, because

medvedev, for example, was not met as a second person in russia, as putin positions him, he already the deputy head of the soviet security where putin is in charge, and he was met as the head of the party, well, completely under the control of the kremlin. and by the way, i think he did not live up to nadiya there, because it was about what would be the meeting between putin and sezempei , this was the conversation, the first, the second, at least there should have been some statements we know what i want . russia still wants to receive help from china, if not military, then with dual-purpose goods, technology, chips , even winter clothes for the army. it is clear that the chinese and the country that can give it understand this the united states is everyone understands that's why there is no decision yet on what to do with russia, it's not in china, it's not in the united states, there's no rapprochement, let's say it's putin's regime,

now with china, it's a bad sign. of course, if that happens, but you know, china is working not for 1-2 years. but you know, he thinks 10 years ahead and then he thinks not 10 and he is already definitely 10. i don’t think it is imperative, he is already following in real time what is happening. make -ups, how are they losing several hundred for one the day of the troops, well, that is, it is a completely different temporary schedule of the two leaders, but once again i emphasize to underestimate this, it is possible that the rapprochement is not worth it because if it suddenly happens that china will make a mistake like putin at this historical segment. first of all, the war with russia, because what putin lacks

is the military-technical support of such a country as valeriya throws, or in this situation can we talk about the fact that the united states of america is still giving signals to beijing that russia does not need to develop this military cooperation and intervene in russia's war against ukraine. well, i mean, even the conversation between all of dengping and joe biden. does this mean that the united states of america is trying to offer something to china so that china does not go into the format or let's say somewhere near the russian federation. well, of course, they have a relationship of rivalry. this will be the key relationship in the world in the coming years and decades. that is , it is conflict - it is rivalry - it is competition. there will be a combination of everything now in

they are not there. i would say that there is no such conflict , rather this is the beginning, as you know, in the ring they are starting to look at each other despite the old relations, but they are looking at each other in the new geopolitical conditions, what model of the world to build where they are the main players and while the usa is not china, china is still not came to the first position and uh well, this russian war against ukraine is really bringing china to the negotiating table and the usa has leverage, this is up to 700 billion dollars of chinese exports to the usa. imagine if they will cut this export twice at once. well, what will happen then? yes, and everything is not normal

. how was it planned, how is it happening , that's why the usa has influence, they talk about nuclear weapons, and here the position seems to me to be common, that they will not allow the spread of nuclear weapons, nuclear blackmail of putin, therefore, in this regard, they have a common position position in their stomachs with russia they have different and in china there is still a lot of anti-americanism, but in the usa there is no such, uh, mood against china if you look well, i lived there for many years and i will say yes, there are hysterical feelings about japan and on the contrary, after the second world war, and china, many students study chinese , many people live chinese on the west coast, and all of them now come a lot, that is, from asia, in particular, from china, absolutely on the same level, but the attitude of people is completely different to the chinese, but on the geopolitical level, really china is like that

i took a course on the rivalry of the usa and anti-marcanism of the ladies. i know that i have talked with them more than once with the chinese. i do not understand their americanism. the only explanation is that they are looking for this simple, simplified model of the world like the cold war, but it is unlikely that simple models are what we need. 21 century, let's return to the situation inside russia, mr. valery, because the main intelligence directorate of the ministry of defense of ukraine records the intensification of the resistance movement in the russian federation, as reported by the gur on the night of january 4 in russia partisans have once again stopped the movement of civilian trains and military echelons on the section of the trans-siberian railway in the krasnoyarsk region in novy 2023. this is at least the sixth case of the destruction of centralization signaling blocks and blocking on the railway in various regions of russia. last

year, about 40 such cases, as well as cases of the destruction of railway formers and locomotives, a significant intensification of the rail partisans in russia took place. after the announcement by the putin regime, partial mobilizations, well, this is what the gur reports on a large country, a country like russia, 40 cases of rail partisans, actions of rail partisans. this is probably not so much, but we see individual rallies, but in kazan, now let's look at an individual rally, a man calls on young people to go to the maidan against the war against putin please show this video or rather the graphic now we will look well you see in the kazan a person came out and a person calls the youth to go to the maidan well of course it is not hundreds or thousands of people who come out to such rallies and all the more so, not because the

russian association of soldava widows called on putin to announce a general mobilization and to stop men from traveling from russia. he thought of the people of kodum in terms of victory according to your feelings and according to your observations , can there be that merciless riot in russia, which post about which the classics constantly wrote ? they are rioting because their sons went to fight in ukraine and they were poorly dressed, that is, the reason is not because they kill ukrainians, but because the government did not provide them with anything that would help them kill ukrainians better, see, russia is folded
