[000:00:00;00] russian propaganda tries to influence those who go to vote on the voters, so they are also convinced that price increases are inflation, so that tariffs are high, gas prices are high, fuel prices are high because ukraine does not surrender , because the governments of britain, the european union, because they help ukraine and if all this and all this support will stop, the conflict will stop, putin will no longer come forward and, accordingly, everything will normalize , that is, they are trying to play the game on such feelings of the common people, of course, we we understand that all this is not true and any concessions to putin will only provoke a new escalation, only encourage him to new

actions to new aggression, e.g. russian propaganda is a big enough machine that invests millions if not billions of us dollars in promoting certain fakes to counter this we can , for example, you have already been working successfully for many years simply exposing these fakes, or can this lead to some logical legal conclusion of bringing someone to justice , putting someone behind bars, even creating a court special for the spread of these fakes, well, first of all, we have been engaged in refuting fakes of russian propaganda for almost 9 years, we understand that this alone is not enough to counter disinformation and russian propaganda, we need to do much more in many other directions. of the russian media as a reliable source of information and now they are perceived only as propaganda, and one of

the steps that i am sure will be taken in the future is prosecution those who create these fakes create this propaganda and spread it. it seems to me that the final chord could be the international court , where all these people would receive real prison sentences, and on our website we have already collected more than 50,000 stories where uh, well, in fact, refutations objections to deliberately created fake disinformation and we are ready and have already transferred all this information to the ukrainian law enforcement agencies that are investigating the case against russian propagandists and i am sure that the time will come when these evidences will also be in international courts and everyone will receive part-time service, and it seems

to me that this is very important not only so that historians of the future have reliable data and history written on real facts and not fakes, and secondly, it would be a very important year for e-e media workers of the future in order to so that they understand that if they are involved in such activity , they will definitely end up with what solovyov skabeeva, kiselyov and many other propagandists will end up with, that they will end up on the dock and in prison. tainychenko, executive director of shtab-fey.org.ua, our partners in this section, was a guest of spotlight ukraine , the ukrainian version, the balloon finally shattered hopes for improved relations between washington and beijing, the chinese balloon that was discovered in the american sky was probably spying on military facilities, the president of the united states, biden ordered to shoot him down

, secretary of state anthony blinkin's visit to beijing, which had been hoped for, was also canceled . consequences for efforts to stabilize relations with china, which is already close to a historic low , experts emphasize. it was this flying object that worsened washington's relations with beijing, which were already experiencing a crisis, according to experts, the chinese aerostad can collect intelligence data and transmit information to chinese satellites, and already from the satellites, the data will reach the command center of the chinese army, although in beijing they are convinced that it was a civilian airship that carried out a research method but deviated from the course and accidentally rose into the sky above in latin america, the chinese side explained the situation many times that this incident was a completely unfortunate accident caused by uncontrollable

external forces. the us department of defense stated that this bullet or this airship did not pose a military or personal threat to any ground personnel, but the american side, despite china's repeated statements, insisted on using force, which is an obvious deviation and china strongly opposes this, a representative of the us department of defense said when a chinese balloon was discovered near we have an air force base in montana, where one of the three missile mines of the usa is located. the pentagon immediately intervened to avoid a dispute about classified information . what measures were taken are not reported. states from canada, i told

the ministry of defense to shoot it down as soon as possible, but there they came to the conclusion that we should not shoot it down over land, it would not be a serious threat , that we should wait until the bullet crosses the border, we made it clear to china what we are going to do, they understand our position we are not going to retreat , we did the right thing the pentagon itself is already blasting balloons during military operations in the early 2000s, the ministry of defense launched over iraq and afghanistan tethered arostats equipped with a payload for intelligence last year, politiko reported that the budget of the ministry of defense for 2023 included funding for balloon production projects and was even increased from three billion 800 million in 2021 to 27 million last year professor political scientist historian and director of the chinese institute of oriental and

african studies at the university of london director of the chinese institute of soas mr. stivtsang eats spotlight ukraine good evening greetings let's talk about the so -called spy balloon over in the sky over the combined states, because china says that the bullet simply went the wrong way , and the united states claims that the bullet was used by the chinese military for espionage, who do you believe? and if the chinese government really sent a balloon or an old one, it’s from will, if she deviated from the course, then uh, i think that they could not say that and neither to the americans, nor to others, we understand that the deviation cannot be

so big uh, accordingly, without causing such a diplomatic of course, they should have found a way to lower the level of such a balloon so that the americans would see what it really is, that this balloon is really there for meteorological purposes. that's why i'm still a supporter of the american theory. the us also says that the chinese used balloons for spying not only on americans all over the world. is this true, but also what is their purpose? maybe they just want to provoke the usa in order to visit the situation between china and the usa , of course the chinese government would not want a bullet there really

aggravated the already bad relations between the us and china and also if we compare with the situation with taiwan or other cases china does not have such power to win such a confrontation with the us also they can send such bullets to show that they can and in order that they they want to get certain pictures from the satellite that they are already collecting that you are going and of course they use these colors for some kind of espionage purpose or to gather information they do this on a regular basis , in particular there are such balls in the sky over china and this is not the first time so you think

that this is actually such a spying routine between the two largest countries in the world. yes, i am afraid that this is actually the case, both countries understand that they are each other's competitors, ukraine is a competitor, and it is necessary to somehow deal with them and that is why espionage actions are being carried out, actions one after another, and i also want to talk about a third country, which is one of the largest countries in the world , it is talking about russia, about its resources. so , japan's intelligence says that china still somehow provides russia with military aid if we will consider such a situation , then who is china for ukraine, a friend or an enemy, china

or the position of xi jinping regarding the invasion of russia on the territory of ukraine from the beginning? we see that they support putin's actions , they support that he is not involved in responsibility and in fact china is not paying anything for this, and ukraine had good relations with china before the invasion. ukraine was the main supplier of food to china and, in particular, ensured china's food security, so there really wasn't any need for the deterioration of relations with ukraine, which would lead to disagreement about support without restrictions, of course china is not happy with what russia has unleashed, but we actually

did not see that china officially provided any installations to russia, but still some what spare parts were provided? thank you. so, china is watching what is the reaction of the west regarding a specific act on the territory of ukraine . what is russia? you have already said that china can even start some kind of military action if they are ready. how serious is this and will there be such readiness in particular? in the near future, the chinese government, and they are committed to the policy that when china is ready and able to seize taiwan, they want

to do it regardless of the price that will have to be paid, of course china has china does not will start a war against taiwan until they show their strength in front of the americans. they want to do everything so that the usa does not intervene and prevent this. because china will dare to take over and when china dares to take over taiwan, then we will already see how it will be, what will be the effectiveness of defense equipment in particular that which the usa provided to ukraine and what will be the reaction of the west regarding their unity in aid will it be the same and accordingly there may be forecasts that the same with

the same support will be provided to taiwan in case invasion at the same time, china does not want to start any conflict with the us or with european countries regarding the introduction of a new wave of sanctions, so they do not want new sanctions against china now, and that is why they maintain such a certain neutrality about what they what china will do to help russia even if despite the fact that everyone knows that they have a certain friendship and support thank you mr. tsar professor steve himself was on the air spotlight ukraine thank you the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi toured europe, he visited london, paris and brussels the great

britain spoke in parliament and called for the transfer of powerful english tanks, and also had an audience with king charles ii. against the background of the visit, london introduced new sanctions against russia's military enterprises and provided another military aid to ukraine. in paris , zelenskyi met over dinner with french president macron and german chancellor scholz, who specially arrived for this purpose, both leaders assured that their countries will support ukraine as long as possible. for this purpose, the issue of supplying ukraine with modern aviation has become the number one topic at the eu summit in brussels, however, we can talk about concrete results already according to the results of the meeting of the rammstein contact group on february 14, the european union for the first time in its history began to provide such a large-scale and consistent military aid that we receive from you and together with the relevant leader at the level of the member states, security cooperation with ukraine created such

a historical example for any aggressor , we should guarantee the security of all european states. thank you very much for your attention. glory to ukraine the russian invasion found him in odessa at a jewish wedding on that terrible morning of february 24, he says that the entire wedding community took children and women to the border, away from the war, after saying goodbye to his relatives, hillal cohen took up the evacuation of refugees and later began to help the ukrainian military with bulletproof vests and fairy tales. now he is the only jewish chaplain in the armed forces of ukraine, and how does anyone else know whether there are fascists in ukraine , whom russian propaganda so frightens the world, this is

an interview gilalkoen gave to an israeli radio station in the first days of a full-scale his invasion scream of the soul reminds me then convinced millions of israelis that a terrible war had actually started in ukraine a week before the invasion wrote a friend from america run away there will be a disaster biden warns i sent a message to our communities that there is a person who is ready to pay for your tickets, but no one took it seriously february 24 i was in odesa at a jewish wedding. in the morning, everyone woke up and in one caravan they took women and children to the border. i slept in duty free for two weeks , met buses, helped old women and the children remember that one woman had a heart attack, left the salon, fell down and died. this is impossible to forget. later, the rabbi became involved in evacuating people from hot spots . my friend oleksandr borisov was next to me. we did not sleep for 50 days and nights. in fact, we just traveled

all over ukraine, bringing humanitarian aid and taking people out later, requests began to come from the mobilized to bring body armor and helmets, and we began to bring everything necessary from israel, so gileyun began to help the ukrainian military, and last fall he became the only rabbi in the armed forces, where he says now about a thousand jews serve, this is the torah that we handed over to the whole of ukraine, dedicating a special one to the jews who serve in the armed forces of ukraine. i know i'm going to the chulachivska podtra, another one, the graben of the armed forces considers the debunking of the myths of russian propaganda about nazism in ukraine to be his mission. russia constantly accuses ukraine of fascism, nazism. when i stand i get on the train on the street and do not hide the fact that i am a jew. i saw only respect from people. my 9 children

were brought up in kyiv and never had any problems. there are no fascists in ukraine and i i consider it my task to speak about this to the whole world among the ukrainian military , hats made by rabbis with the inscription jews defend ukraine are worn even by ethnic ukrainians to once again disprove the myth of nazism and glory to ukraine. you all watched spotlight ukraine ukrainian version on this. no don't forget to subscribe to our official youtube channel peaceful evening see you in exactly one week see you we will listen to people suffering from rheumatism and arthrosis between the joints so piercing it is impossible to get used to it does not allow me to move i tried everything and at the pharmacy i bought a yellow cream dolgit it saves me from pain in rheumatism relieves pain reduces swelling and

, glory to ukraine on the air, saturday political club program, i am vitaliy portnikov, angelika, season indicative, congratulations, angelica, mr. vitaly viewers of the espresso tv channel. so today is the 353rd day of the full-scale war between russia and ukraine, and in the first block of our program we will traditionally discuss the very hit of the war, because ukraine and the west are predicting tickets for russia's offensive, so what can it be, will ukraine receive fighter jets, what did our president agree on during his european tour? well, let's summarize yesterday's massive russian attack , how it differed from others. on issues of foreign and security policy, diplomat

, adviser to the minister of defense of ukraine in 2020 , we congratulate mr. oleksandr good evening well , just a few hours ago , an interview with the president of poland appeared, because dudy to bbc correspondent lori tunesberg and in this interview, the head of the polish state said that sending f16 fighter jets to ukraine will be a very serious decision that will be very difficult to make. this is the same duda, who a few days ago created an anti-tank coalition against, well, a tank coalition for the victory of the ukrainian armed forces of forces against russian aggression. i always want to understand the logic of why, let's say, the decision about tanks was easy to make, despite the fact that other western leaders told the president of poland that this was a difficult decision very serious, which will be difficult to adopt, but people are talking about fighters, as you said a long time ago, olafsholz, why logic ? well, i think that the first and most important thing is consciousness and these red lines that have drawn certain strategies for themselves both in europe and in the united

states and which they think that now we will give this to ukraine, and the russians will then rock something there , and we have heard this constantly from the very beginning of the invasion of a large-scale e-e, they did not give us any more or less serious artillery systems, they reached the hymers, and then they left reached tanka, that is, the first is the fear of some kind of escalation, an ephemeral escalation, because what the russians are doing in ukraine, they cannot do anything more about the nuclear threat , you can definitely talk, but there is such a thing as nuclear deterrence, and it works, that is , not if only our northern barbarians had nuclear weapons, then it would be clear, we all had to be afraid, but the europeans also have nuclear weapons, and there are american and nato ones. well, that is, american ones that were given to nato countries.

was an unmitigated disaster, these public debates and disagreements, first of all, which emanated from germany's position, then you can't give tanks at all, there will be a third world war, then i will give tanks if there is a coalition , the poles say that we are ready. we have 10 friends who are also ready to give leopards. they say no, the british say yes, take our challengers , well, that is, in order to untangle this tangle of problems, no, then the americans went crazy and said let's give our abrams, which we don't really need, of course it is better to have one manufacturer of powerful systems. moreover, there is a production or repair base there. and after that, loytosti called the newly appointed minister and the german a. jakeselivans, his former friend, or rather this friend, er, adviser to psholts, and in raised tones they talked like this. it seems to me that panduda does not want

of this masquerade of this buffoonery once again so that it will be repeated and show some lines of disagreement but i think that in the end such a decision will be made rather it will all be a cunning decision that so we will put it to the point as he literally said it seems on friday, president macron, that we do not rule out any systems , including aircraft, but most likely they will make a decision to give them to us much later, that is , after the end of the hot phase of the war or the end of this war, i don't know how it will turn out the stars, it seems to me that these sharp eyes, these fears, they slow down and they definitely push us to strike more carefully, alexander, but some analysts say that they will not change the situation at all, especially on the battlefield, and with more tanks, they will be more useful to us do you agree with such a thesis? and as for the british

fighter jets that we are talking about now, and it is alleged that they have agreed to hand them over to us in the future , the british prime minister has stated and hinted, let's say. of this model, they are quite difficult for our soldiers. they have never worked with them and the training will take a long time. well, first of all, to your question, will they change something there and how many of them are needed, or more tanks, as winnie the pooh said, uh, give her honey and condensed milk and it is possible without bread, that is, without god, what do we need all this, considering, among other things, that it takes a certain period of time to teach our pilots to operate these systems and to create a suitable base and suitable technicians, because the technicians there are no less important for these machines the weapons that were specially developed for them were also used, of course , the sooner we do it in the winter, the better it will be in relation to the british

promises, they have already decided to help us by training our pilots, it was already announced, but they did not say what they would give us some planes they have because they don't have f-16 in service, and those they have are more modern . well, they think they are not quite suitable for us, and that's why the question of the british is here. maybe they will play again, and here britain played a positive role in missile systems, too. - and in the tanks, what can they push the europeans, who have in sufficient numbers, that we need to take this step? i think that britain will have a positive role in this, and probably the british will also lobby for these decisions in washington, because for the british it is not only

the question, you saw not only the question of boris johnson, who do we love with this , yes, listraz, did the picture grow? barbarians on the eastern borders and actually. therefore, we need to go forward innovatively to give those things that help us, but of course we also need planes. we also need operational-tactical missiles with a range of more than 150 km. give us that we aim at the entire territory of temporarily occupied ukraine. well, as well as threaten the platforms that are actually located on the territory of the russian federation. i hope that after a certain time our western partners in front of all of washington will realize that we should be given such weapons and not to shoot down calibers over ukrainian cities, but to destroy , first of all, russian black sea fleet submarines, which threaten not only ukraine, they potentially threaten the

whole of europe. and all the time they talk about the fact that there are red lines, russia cannot be attacked, ukraine must give a guarantee that the long-range weapons supplied by the west cannot be used . there are also russian objects in this, you know, there will be a certain degree of schizophrenia in this war. why can russia strike on the territory of ukraine , and ukraine cannot strike on military facilities of the russian federation, well, at best, on those facilities that are located on the occupied territories, although for russia itself , it is absolutely the same for crimea and the pomeranian region yes, definitely. well, in principle, a month ago, certain such actions already took place, and the american military already says that we do not choose the whole uh-uh for the use of the weapons that we give to the ukrainians, but they can target any targets, including in crimea and journalists there we asked several times because the rhetoric changed a little earlier and we heard from our leaders what is there. well

, let's say it was a gentleman's agreement that we will not use the delekabine weapon in the crimea, because you know crimea is a sacred thing and if we wash it, we have already done it more than once, and the truth is, not with western systems, and the same kerch bridge and these airfields, and nothing happened, that is, there was no escalation, and in principle it cannot be, and it can happen. exclusively by the use of weapons of mass destruction, we again return to the issue of deterrence and western deterrence, and we have heard more than once from former military personnel, and this is american, this
