[000:00:00;00] ukraine is what is needed to fight aggression today tomorrow the day after tomorrow in the future and this means that if they, uh , when will these tanks be in ukraine, ah, uh , probably, it will be uh, by spring. when we expect, we, we so we assume that russia will start a-a offensive again and then they will help when a-a contoured ukraine makes a contour offensive and helps ukraine a-a er successfully takes a good position on the battlefield and i also want to wait for er success on the battlefield, it does not depend on one a-a video weapon a-a and it is precisely because of this that it is important that eh all the strange ones who uh meet like uh in the so-called rammstein group

it is important that we coordinate aid and that there is a whole package of uh aid that helps uh the ukrainian armed forces so successfully fight uh российской э-э армый thank you very much, mr. andre , for taking the time to join our broadcast. andrea callan, the official representative of the us department of state, was in touch with us . well, we are moving on to the next speaker, political scientist, head of public organization open republic hello to me congratulations good evening so the first question is generally related to history if they are against such a small country but such a large amount of aid if you take into account the military budget the amount of e-e weapons that were provided in general o finance in such o expression as

you do you understand that this is a political decision, or is estonia just helping ukraine , understanding that it ensures its own security? well, you know, and so and so because , well, on the one hand, we naturally feel solidarity, this is the airfield of ukraine because, first of all, estonia remembers very well its tragic history of occupation by the soviet union from one strange side, and they understand very well that history could also have been the goal of the perestroika regime putin's russian federation and not to help the ukrainians for the estonian people of the majority of the estonian people is completely unthinkable

superior military forces and that's why, ah, that's probably why we have this feeling, it will give us a sense of solidarity , it's strong enough, but there is also a pragmatic consideration, of course, and that is, if we now have two ways, either ukraine will win or, er, europe will be again somewhere- in the state of the forties, i would not like it, therefore, we understand very well that the fate of the future europe of the future, at least for a few generations, is decided now on the battlefield of eastern ukraine. by the way, it is interesting to transfer to germany everything that we have because we may also have to defend ourselves, we have to keep our weapons just in case. in estonia, they think completely differently. we have a slightly different historical context from what feels and how they perceive this situation in germany

. first of all, we know russia a little better. - and maybe it is too optimistic, of course , now the self-confidence is pronounced, but in fact, despite the fact that a-a germany in general, traditional historical a-a appeared . yes, i mean the leaders a and accordingly and how would it be considered that the germans have a good expertise about russia, but i'm afraid i'm afraid of the baltic states and ukraine by the way too, er, much better, and the feeling that russia represents itself today is not why we are not deceiving as much as our german colleagues who read that russia can simply be flooded

with money. putin and somehow well domestication will not work, it will not work , this is the undemocratic, anti-democratic, anti-humane regime that putin's regime represents. you can say that there is a sense of security, or there is a feeling that nata may also be hit at a certain moment . you know this question. it is impossible to answer it definitively without finding ourselves in a situation where we will need this help when we will need to activate the fifth article of the statute so that the rest of the strange members of the north planetary alliance come to a's aid in the event of some direct military conflict with

by some a-a conditional enemy. today we can hardly think that we have any more conditional operatives except the russian federation , a friend of vladimir putin's votsov, uh, i think that the current situation, when in general part of the civilized world with a united front supports ukraine and defends its rights to a-a defense and is ready to supply weapons a-a this increases optimism, including the state of those bordering the russian federation, and that a-a will also come to our aid in cases if we face a detailed threat, that is why scandinavia and finland will become sweden and sweden decided to join nato , that is, it was impossible to imagine ourselves on february 24, 2022, because the entire history of these countries is post-war second world war

war evidence that they just adhered to the policy of neutrality. but neutrality ended. putin finished it for you, he just turned the page, yes. and here is the lowering of the level of diplomatic relations, when the estonian ambassador to the estonian express service in russia and the russian ambassador to estonia practically no longer fulfill their duties. responsibilities, this is from the estonian initiative. by the way, in fact , you are done when the number of russian diplomats is decreasing. yes, in general, one of each of the whole naturally would have indicated its own positions on the other side, uh, too much staff of the embassy was in tallinn and there was no application, that is, the staff of the embassy of russian tallinn was more than twice the staff of the estonian embassy in moscow, well, in normal times, there could

be some explanations, including the provision of consular services to a large number of russian citizens living in estonia, but the point is that russia a-a, including the consular services that russia provides here, for example, it does not allow a russian citizen to leave russian citizenship in estonia now, come, speak to russia, especially a woman, of course, come to russia, apply there, find all the documents, run, a-a, perhaps, the military enlistment office run in and well, we understand why this is done and take into account that the russian passport simply said that it is very toxic for many people and they certainly want to change their citizenship, then russia opposes it in every way this is against the background of these eh steps on the background of this general a-a nervous situation a-ah and absolutely, absolutely, absolutely also these e , including in general technical issues of bilateral relations and consular

consular services provided here by the istonian in some the moment eh said it seems to me quite late, in fact we could have done it earlier что давать это reduce your embassy - your embassy and bring the number of diplomats eh to parity a-and actually, i like the position of lithuania better here, which already after eh right away after being told that no, they cannot allow the presence of their ambassadors in moscow and they do not want to see the occasional assistant ambassador of russia in vilnius, and on their own initiative they lower the status of diplomatic relations to a temporary representative, but now the history of latvia has done the same thing. хорошо бы сейчас yes, we literally still have a minute left to the end. let's talk about the fact that estonia has expressed the initiative to close the baltic sea, after all, for russia, and of course, the kremlin absolutely does not accept such statements.

do you think they will do it? and what does this mean in reality? estonian border guards will check russian ships, this will delay the moment of their transportation, so their progress, or is this our one-sided solution ? before that, i considered, well, in peace time , i did not consider it necessary to inspect here the following in our territorial entrances , and not those entering the estonian ports following transit to the leningrad region now we have simply expanded the zone of our control and we are going to expand let's say that the government a-a the proposal expressed by the government a-a proposal that in this composition must present its visions and a-a possible such a decision will indeed be accepted in this case by all courts following through the gulf of finland in the direction

of russia or from russia eh moving westward they will pass additional control from the side of estonia further still there territorial waters they can bypass from tolstoy territorial waters through the territorial waters of finland if the republic of finland even adopts such a decision, it means that 100% of all sea cargo will simply be subject to additional control, or rather, they will be subject to control in principle . thank you for participating in the broadcast . nice yevhene kryshtafovych, political scientist, head of public organization, the republic of estonia is open, he was in direct contact with us, ect chubarov, the head of the inter-forest tatar people we have now will be the interlocutor. greetings, mr. frafeta. good evening. let's start with the fact that another country joined the crimean platform, mr. ryfaty. but in the conditions of the war, the crimean platform has strengthened, in your opinion. or

, on the contrary, has it weakened, because the context now not only concerns crimea, but also of many regions of ukraine, which are unfortunately occupied by the russian federation. ah, you said about it, another country has also joined, this is a small country, costa rica, but now, in the crimean platform, the installers from psamitis which took place two years ago , in 2021, now there are 60 countries . in answer to your question, i want to say that the maximum united maximum unification of the world community around the protection of ukraine and actually the protection of the entire human civilization is now being carried out and further away. but at the same time, to say that after february 24, the importance of the crimean

platform decreased. i wouldn't say that, on the contrary, we can only guess what other battles are going on on the international level, well, the battles are not military, but what events will happen around the restoration of ukraine's sovereignty over the crimean peninsula, and it seems to me that the importance of the crimean platform in the event that events in the world go in such a way that we will have to seek international support for the crimean region is here and here the importance of the crimean platform will manifest itself. this is me i am saying to be clear that

as a result of the russian-ukrainian war , there will be tectonic shifts in world politics and new rules will be established in the country and the post-war e-e system and some e-e guarantee will be established regarding the black sea, the security of the black sea, the mediterranean region, and of course this will all be related to the future fate of crimea. and tell me, if we talk about the future fate of crimea, now a lot of people are talking about the fact that in the west they are coming to the understanding that without the deoccupation of crimea, the conflict simply will not be resolved in another way on the other hand, we understand that for putin and his entourage, the acquisition of crimea is a fundamental moment in this entire war, how social history will be resolved. i think that this is the

position. at least of the leading western countries that the format of ending the russian-ukrainian war will take place according to the position of ukraine itself , and this position of our allies , partners, indicates that the first priority will be our position, the position of the ukrainian state i can't allow myself that any of the ukrainian politicians can agree to such conditions, let's say the registration of the victory of the russian-ukrainian war, that it will be offered to give up a piece of more such a peninsula as

the crimea of ​​the ukrainian territory, i can't do that to allow whoever is there. no matter what putin says. are those who will be after putin, they give crimea and whoever there would talk about some scraps, all this is stupid . the main thing is that this is our ukrainian land and we have to stand on this position and the world is nowhere it will not happen, because the world already agrees with such a position in advance, and almost the allocation of new packages of weapons in recent days is already in some moments accompanied by the mention of crimea, well , let's say that long-range artillery that ukraine will receive it can be used it can be used throughout the entire occupied territories of ukraine. this is crimea, these are strategic crimean bridge

, the black sea fleet, military ships, well, this is also the land of chongar, mariupol, sprout-na-na, and the crimeans from the androsian occupiers are there after 11 months of war there was hope that in the near future he might indeed be released , because before a full-scale invasion, in addition to belief, there was no reinforcement of reality. live in crimea as crimean tatars or ethnic ukrainians who remain loyal to the ukrainian state in those conditions of strict, such strict control

, persecutions, repressions, a-a, but uh-uh, now we can hope for such open protest actions or, well, some other actions that would contribute to uh-uh rapprochement did they contribute to the approach of the liberation of crimea , well, now it simply does not happen, but it is necessary, but not simply to reject the behavior of a large number of citizens of ukraine in the occupied crimea. crimean tatars and ethnic ukrainians in and these are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people who are waiting for the return of ukraine to the restoration of ukrainian sovereignty, how will they behave when the armed forces of ukraine will already be standing on chongar or will enter yushuni janka, we are guessing, but we will not now this is to say on the air how

close the situation in crimea itself is to intensifying such repressions that have been there for 9 years now, you can say how much the russian occupiers are now trying to intimidate the crimeans so that precisely because they are afraid that in crimea everything more and more people understand that it is not a repulse for the occupation. well, look at the 24th. i am simply calling the extreme events that took place in the occupied crimea on january 24, uh, there were massive years of raids and arrests of crimean tatarzhankov district, dzhankov district , it has already become such a military hub where they accumulate weapons, where the military is stationed , from there they are already transported to the occupied districts of the kherson region, six of our people were accused by the fsb of russia of being

terrorists and carrying out the tasks of the ukrainian of the special services , this was a special message from the fsb of russia , are they carrying out the instructions of the ukrainian special services and carrying out sabotage on the territory of crimea? searches , and the decision of the local simferopol court of occupation was applied , a decision was made regarding preventive measures, and the crimean tatars went there to simply demonstrate unity and give moral support to these six arrested yesterday 34

our citizens were arrested today, they were given administrative punishments for being near the court and expressing their dissatisfaction and protest, and they were given administrative prison terms from 10 to 15 days . of the tatar people was in direct contact with us thank you and in a few moments after a very short break we will return and vitaly portnikov will traditionally comment on the most important events of the film and television week sports, music, education, free people have a choice, choose what you want on megogo

, join the community with a ukrainian view of the world , become a sponsor of the espresso youtube channel, and this is access to exclusive content, personal thanks , fixed comments, special icons, there is the possibility of personal communication with the espresso team, click sponsor and become part of the community with a ukrainian point of view , weltrum battery stations are designed specifically for military needs, sealed , shockproof, work in difficult weather conditions, these stations will significantly increase combat capability of our defenders, the espresso tv channel, together with the forpot tua charity fund, launched a new fundraiser for the purchase of powerful portable battery stations with solar panels for our fighters, we will hand over the first five stations to the 406th separate artillery brigade named after

corporal general oleksiy almazov , join the fundraiser, let's get closer to victory together glory to ukraine, we continue the saturday political clobber program, feel sorry for sezonenko and vitaly portnikov, this hour we will talk about the new president of the czech republic and peter pavelnes there and let's also talk about what i don't know, i think petropav well, petropav, we will talk about peter paul, here we will talk about peter paul , of course, because павел павел павел is interesting to you. yes, the grammar rules of peter pavel, he can

move, now we will get used to all of this, because he is a person who just appeared on the political scene, although it must be said that the new president of the czech republic was the head of the nato military committee - this is one of the highest positions held by the representative of central europe in the north atlantic union, that is why he is such a famous person in the czech republic - this is the second position in nato in nato, so i am interested in the former prime minister - minister and i have such a billionaire, the populist andriy babisha, and now he won, after all, a general, that is, a person with a military past, it is connected with the war , after all, people did not elect a populist, but a person who has enormous experience in the security sector

, you understand. i think that there is a huge moment it's not about who won, but about who lost , because in fact they will still send the current coalition, there were many people who ran for the position of the president of the czech republic, this general pavel championship is now the elected president of the czech republic republics and others were candidates from the e -e ruling coalition whom they supported, but the main thing was the intrigue of whether andriy babish, a billionaire who was accused of corruption abuses and who was acquitted literally a week before the first round of elections, could become president

who actually started such an aggressive pre-election company that reminded everyone of president trump, harsh accusations of opponents, humiliation, aggression, and it must be said that the boss in this company, unexpectedly for many , used russia's war against ukraine, said that this could lead to an increase in the conflict in the territory of central europe, before the economic crisis, said everything what hungarian prime minister viktor orb is saying by the way , it is interesting that his grandmother supported the president of the czech republic, belozem, in fact played the role of a land man, but until february 24, 2022, from yemen, he was such an obvious lobbyist for the interests of moscow, he always supported putin's policies in everything, even when there was information about the explosion at military warehouses, which was carried out by agents of the main intelligence department of the general staff of the russian armed forces or the foreign intelligence service, all of them as

they were called, i have already forgotten their surnames , they were made up, they were rookies, troits, violinists, yes, do you remember this story, i don’t know if we need their surnames, because the surnames were made up anyway, they weren’t real people real surnames, people were real, surnames were made up, and then their real surnames were known, and here zeman tried to prevent the government from investigating this story, although the government was headed by babish, and babish took a tough position at the time. and now everyone seems to have changed roles . that putin is crazy and says that these are war crimes by the old man who, in fact , during his reign, against the background of this history with military depots, led to a complete

freezing of russian-czech relations suddenly turns out to be an adept of russia. because i want to capture the old electorate, the land, and this is populism, when you have no views , when you just think of proclaiming absolutely everything to you , exactly what views to defend is a lie, only you were not planted, that is, without values , to absolutely preserve freedom. that is, we are lucky that he did not won, his victory would be quite a serious problem because there was a confrontation between the president and the government , of course the main decision in the czech republic is made by the parliament, but when the president has the opportunity to influence politics. otherwise, another important point is reflected negatively on the image of the country. we now have a fairly established coalition in the czech republic, but as the next president, he will work with the next composition of the parliament. the initiative

comes from the head of state, he can create his own official government, minus several times he actually ruled the country beyond his constitutional capabilities, thanks to this a chance to create our own presidential government, and this presidential government can do a lot, we saw it in the czech republic and bulgaria , and so people who, in principle, should not have engaged in this, are engaged in this several times. this is what modern democracy looks like. for the simple reason that if we behaved as you understand , then the situation was bad, in principle, we can say that this populist trend that was set by president trump ends. well, it ends somehow on people, it doesn't work like that anymore, maybe people have experienced serious problems in recent years, a pandemic, a war

, they are already more serious about such chatter, but it's kind of cyclical, yes p vitaly, that is, 5-10 years pass and again, well, populism does not happen as often as it seems, no no 5- for 10 years, by and large, populism in europe blossomed in the 20s and 30s of the xx century. time wanted to hear clear programs of action, that is why there were such politicians who were ready to solve crisis issues. and even the type of conflict of the will of your compatriots, you understand and general de gaulle is an anti-populist activity, because he actually stood against an entire agitated faction several times, this can be called to a
