[000:00:00;00] we are taking revenge for the information officially, well, the official information - the information of the representative office, including the mizhelis, conducts reintegration, the indicated number is from 500 to 900,000 people, you have probably seen these campaign posters, it's time to end them. i understand that this is how the russian authorities, er, call on the crimeans to join the war against ukraine, please tell me, and this leader of wagner , yevgeny prigozhin, he also recruits crimeans in colonies and prisons. first of all, note that such information was spread in the media about the fact that in the pre-trial detention center in the city of simferopol there were recruiters from e or ppk pvk wagner and they , well, they involved in their activities 1,200 prisoners from the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea. buried on

the territory of the temporarily occupied territory, and here it is necessary to make such an aspect that these are the facts. well, you force people to turn on critical thinking, because, for example , from this situation, what we know is that a person committed a serious crime, killed a local resident there and this situation was very loud for the settlement. and now he is being buried as a hero and the leaders of the so-called republic are coming to his funeral. the federation and the ukrainian government in general and the president and the same head of intelligence, who in every interview with foreign media says that crimea will be liberated, crimea will be liberated this year, they change these messages very much public sentiments in crimea, how have these sentiments changed over the last year, and especially when such theses are heard from the ukrainian authorities

that crimea will be liberated well, first of all, we see that the resistance is cut, and this is confirmed by both the resistance movements and the rebuttal of the armed forces of ukraine, in particular, the operational command in southern, which indicates that with the approach and activation of the armed forces in the direction of the temporary full crimea, they receive more information of a military nature , which helps to further conduct successful military operations, in addition, it should be noted. next, the residents of the temporary occupation administration are making fewer statements refuting the actions of the ukrainian side, because they see that they are no longer perceived by the local residents, but on the contrary, they cause more criticism in connection with this. they initially limited the comments of insults they do not make any statements at all on their e-e social pages. now this function is performed in them by the so-called telegram channels

of local opinion leaders, but we also see the reaction that they are not perceived by the local population more and more because they see the statements and what is happening in reality. they have a very big difference. and tell me, please, crimeans , they fall into ukrainian captivity, there are such cases, yes. currently, from the right, there are 27 such people, namely, temporarily captured from the territory of the occupied crimea and what are their eyes to remain, well, these are precisely those who are in the controlled part of ukraine, well, that is, they went to war with the authorities of the armed forces of russia and so so so note in this case exactly what according to according to international humanitarian law, the russian federation had no obligation at all not to involve local residents, it did not call for mobilization, and

in this case , according to international humanitarian law, they are precisely the victims. the de-occupation of the more densely populated area was separately raised as a problem, and it is already being discussed by working groups, including at the prosecutor general's office, specifically regarding the vision and whether or not to attract responsibility in the future is the specified category of persons, but it should be noted exactly those who were forcibly drawn into the mobilized or conscripted and who did not commit any actions specifically against the armed forces of ukraine and also against the ukrainian people, that is, there is no obvious answer to the question, conditionally speaking, are they traitors, collaborators, yes, are they victims who were forcibly recruited into the ranks of the russian army. well, it should be noted that the representative office is not competent to make this assessment, but we see that this is

now an issue that needs to be worked out. about and discussion of social issues on the territory of ukraine. i understand you. please tell me what you currently know about the leaders of crimea. what are the possible russian leaders of crimea? who were visible there a year ago and who made loud statements? that such faces are, so to speak, the russian face of crimea, are they leaving the peninsula, or are there no such obvious trends ? it should be noted, first of all, that rather the families of these faces are leaving crimea, and not the faces of crimea themselves, this face of crimea, on the contrary, they are now trying to conditionally close all the holes which exist, we see that in the occupying bodies of the newly occupied territories of kherson and zaporozhye regions, citizens of russia from russia do not want to go there, and it is they who attract residents of the temporarily occupied crimea, who are appointed to these positions and rotations that take place temporarily in the full crimea , the number of russians coming to the temporarily occupied crimea is decreasing, understanding that they can be held criminally responsible, so

it is possible to avoid exactly such a trend now in crimea, and the city was renovated. but its full introduction is possible after a-a well, they promise until april , together with this road space, in the future, one track continues to not function and its repair is promised no earlier than autumn, but we see that they are in a hurry because they understand that at any moment the land corridor which they oblige trucks to go, it can be blocked at the same time. it is these restrictions that with the bridge and the land corridor indicate a significant increase in prices in crimea. at the same time , they are trying to block these increases for the account of the new occupied territories of kherson and zaporizhzhia regions, in particular, local residents determine that although their prices have increased, they are 2-3 times lower in crimea than in the territory of kherson and zaporizhzhia

regions, which is under occupation , i.e. thus, the occupation administration is trying to keep the growth of the walls in addition now there is a shortage of products and medicines, despite the fact that initially there was a shortage related to the sanctions policy, but now there is a shortage of medicines and russian medicine in general of production, i.e. due to logistical problems and delivery to crimea, carriers and companies refuse to work in crimea, this is a window to crimea, russia is looking for people who would dig trenches around the peninsula denys chistyakov , deputy permanent representative of the president of ukraine in the autonomous republic of crimea, we talked about what is happening on the peninsula . thank you very much. the new york times published footage of how on february 2 russian troops purposefully launched a missile

attack on a team of volunteers in the city of bakhmut at the moment of the strike, volunteers helped civilians, the publication notes that the video from the day of the estonian volunteer ergoline was nearby during the strike. in the video, you can trace how the russian military hit the volunteer post with an anti-missile anti -tank guided missile. kornyk writes in the new york times. the missile has laser guidance. canteen from a flight up to three miles is almost 5 km , and the publication emphasizes that such weapons are used by the military only when they see targets, that is, it was during this attack that the american volunteer pitrit on the video shows that the family and other volunteers were standing near a van with the help of a rocket flying parallel to the earth and hitting just the car. well, the ukrainian defense of bahmut is exhausting significant russian forces and this is probably creating favorable conditions for the future counteroffensive of kyiv, the american

institute for the study of war reports this in its to the current report literally yesterday we mentioned a publication for washington pos where it was said that the american military considers it unrealistic to simultaneously defend bakhmut and start spring counteroffensive and that us officials call on ukraine to decide on priorities, at the same time, the american institute for the study of war believes that ukraine's decision to defend bakhmut is strategically justified because russia has significantly weakened its forces in the direction of bakhmut, what is happening in bakhmut these days, what was happening there watch this video mercenaries wagner tells how they are trying to advance to bakhmut from the eastern side. it is true that what is this

? the bakhmutka river crossing, the ukrainian defense forces after such a night, minus one, asked on this video already the fighters of the third separate assault brigade of the armed forces storm the positions of the russian military near bakhmut and demonstrate how air reconnaissance works in the city and its surroundings, the commander of another separate tactical air reconnaissance group tells in pseudo-magyar what the invaders are managed to move away from the city in three directions. the southern flank is a good success. managed to push the enemy back to a certain distance from the

konstantinovka-bakhmut road. the road is not passable it is under the fire control of the enemy, but the enemy managed to be pushed back from the road to a good distance. other soldiers of the armed forces report on the difficult situation and assure that the city is under the control of ukraine. on february 14, the city of bakhmut, the city is under the control of the armed forces. it is very difficult. it is very difficult. the enemy is pressing hard . guys, and the strength they are giving now is priceless. you see our bahamian plane, god bless you with all the best health, we hear the breakthrough that happened the day before, the ukrainian

border guards also told in the official telegram channel according to their data, the enemy began shelling the positions of the defenders of bakhmut with a grenade launcher, in response the border guards opened fire with mortars now, on the approaches to the city, they repelled another attack by stormtroopers who tried to occupy the stronghold, the shot in the direction of bakhmut is working, in particular , the omega special unit of the eastern territorial administration of the national guard of ukraine there, too, they confirm heavy battles for the city continue max hrabovsky radio freedom and once again i want to remind you, if you watch us on the internet, like this broadcast in this way, you support our work and support independent journalism. well, the european commission today officially presented another package of sanctions against russia. this is the 10th package of sanctions against russia. the european union is expected to approve the sanctions on the anniversary of the russian invasion of ukraine. in fact, russia has been living under unprecedented western sanctions for a year now

, but the money the kremlin's war looks like this , at least it doesn't end, we'll talk about it soon, and just now the correspondent of radio svoboda in brussels, zoryana stepanenko, zoryana, joins the broadcast. my greetings then tell us what will be in this tenth package of sanctions and how it fundamentally differs from the previous nine . congratulations with my own. well, you know that it is difficult to say exactly what will be in the 10th package of sanctions, because what we heard from you today is that the presentation is still ahead discussions between the representatives of the eu member states are usually enough, and during these discussions this package proposed by the european commission is usually modified , sometimes to a stronger side, sometimes to a weaker side. when this package is sufficiently agreed upon, and then it is approved accordingly, and it was planned to do it with the tenth anniversary of the war

in the european union, they see a certain symbolism in this , but also the package itself. this is, above all, what you asked about is different from the nine previous ones. since we remember there were packages that included , in particular, gangs of russian oil, as well as oil products, and these are measures that are difficult to at that time, the sula derliani fund negotiated not only with the hungarian prime minister victor morgan, who eventually received exceptions and will receive russian oil on the basis of friendship. as a matter of fact, this package does not have such measures . in particular, i can draw a parallel here . volodymyr zelenskyy ukrainian president he asked the european leaders for sanctions against the russian nuclear industry as well as the manufacturers of drone missiles, so we did not actually see this in the presentation .

of diamonds, belgium, which holds a large market for the production of faceted crystals, well, that is, diamonds, well, and its belgium, at least, so far, apparently , have not been able to convince the countries that, even here in narrow circles, have received the nickname of hawks - the baltic countries and poland are called so because they traditionally insist on the toughest possible measures against russia, now they are talking about the fact that the package will actually include, well, for the first time , punitive measures will also be taken against the structures of third countries, which, according to the eu, are helping russia to fight with ukraine in blacklists from separate european commission proposes to include seven iranian in the structure that, as the eu insists, supply shahed drones to russia, these iranian-made drones kill peaceful ukrainians, this is terrible, therefore for the first time we also propose to impose sanctions on iranian organizations, including those that associated with the revolutionary guards of iran, our duty

to sanction them is also traditionally expanded, this is what they do with each sanctions package, this is not an exception, export restrictions and according to the calculations of the european commission by russia this 10th should deprive 11 billion euros of income, russia will not be able to get even more components of theoretical dual-purpose goods from here, well, in particular, electronics, spare parts for trucks and airplanes, there are also construction materials , well, everything that can potentially be used by the russian military, that is, the list of categories of these goods is expanding, well, and more one traditional such ponen of sanctions packages is what this package does not differ from the previous nine plus black lists plus about 100 surnames of russians eh should become if approved again by persons non grata and this time. these are those who are considered propagandists here. also, russian politicians and the military. i saw the draft

of this document and saw what i actually did. ursula fonderlyan did not present it when she presented this package of sanctions . it also says that swift is proposed to be cut off and four more russian tinkov banks in particular are among them, and i emphasize this fact, while the draft document is being edited accordingly, approval is ahead of what form it will be approved in the end. zoryana thank you very much zoryana stepanenko from brussels live on the 10th package of anti-russian sanctions thank you so russia has been living under unprecedented, as they say in the west, sanctions for a year, the eu countries agreed to the first package of sanctions against russia on february 22, that year literally two days before a full-scale retaliatory invasion upon the kremlin's recognition of the so-called ldr, then the restrictions affected some banks involved in the financing of the so-called ldr, 27 members of the state duma and associations that, according to the measure, played

a significant role in undermining the territorial the integrity of ukraine already then, european diplomats declared what this package of sanctions meant. well, the first one will hit russia hard . if russia continues its aggressive actions against ukraine, the eu will strengthen sanctions. a year has passed. a great war is ongoing. russia has killed, crippled and deported thousands of ukrainian citizens. war crimes, since then the european union has introduced 10 packages of sanctions . well, the 10th is on the way, but the money for the war does not run out in the kremlin and the russian army continues to kill ukrainians and makes attempts to occupy ukrainian territories. how does it come from where the russian economy continues to draw resources for the war? we asked the founder of the investment fund hermetichkypital white browser, who was a pioneer of anti-russian sanctions due to human rights violations and actually turned into a personal enemy of vladimir putin , listen. so, several things are happening , one of them is that vladimir putin

introduced sanctions against himself, the west bought billions of dollars worth of oil and gas from russia every day, and at some point putin decided to go, it also meant that he lost all the income from this gas from europe, and it is not that the gas can be redirected from europe to asia, it is necessary to spend about 10 years on the construction of the pipeline, and therefore russia's income decreased ; a restriction on the purchase of russian oil was also introduced above $60 per barrel and this caused some pressure on russia , but there are voices that say that this limit is not enough, what is your assessment of whether $60 is a good pressure tool, it is not a very good tool because russia does not sell its oil at $60 per barrel in fact, india began to buy a huge amount of russian oil, which they process in india and also destroy the price, and therefore in order to actually stop the sale

of russian oil, they must significantly reduce this marginal price, part of the problem is that even if, say, we do not buy from a number of european countries so much oil. so russia sells oil to india, which buys it cheaply and then processes it in order to later sell this oil to the general market. that's why these sanctions are very half-hearted when it comes to oil and gas, and that's why putin still earns a lot of money every day from selling oil and gas, the russian economy will exist forever if people continue to buy russian oil and gas. yes, russia no longer has the opportunity to borrow money and this helps . a large part of their exports are not purchased . this is useful. as long as they have a surplus and it comes from the sale of oil and gas that money will then be spent on military aggression and they can

do this for a very long time so ultimately from a financial point of view the key is for the west to stop buying russian oil, and there is also a discussion about the confiscation of russian assets in the west, and if there was no problem with freezing, for example, the reserves of the russian central bank , then there is a problem with the transfer of funds for the restoration of ukraine . my new year's resolution to help ukraine work with western parliaments and governments to confiscate $350 billion in reserves of the russian central bank for the defense and reconstruction of ukraine has no legal basis problems, this is a purely political issue in various governments, there are a lot of people, bureaucrats and lawyers who say, well, we have never done this before , which, by the way, is not true, it was done after the second world war with all german and nazi

property, it was done before and it can be easily done putin redefined the definition of international crime because of what he did in ukraine and now we need to reshape international law to adapt to what putin has done, which means that countries that have reserves must very quickly change their laws in order to to allow the confiscation of these assets i think it is quite possible and it would be the same as with the tanks when six months ago they did not want to hear about it and then last week it happened i am sure that with 350 billion dollars it will happen over time so to sum up what you just said, it's not that the west can't do it, it's just that the west doesn't want to confiscate their assets, isn't it right now ? well, in general, financial, trade and personal sanctions against russia, russian citizens , russian institutions related to

the financing of the war in ukraine have been introduced more than 40 countries of the world, from the usa and the eu to south korea, japan and canada, to the public vladimir putin mocks sanctions, one can say that the economic blitzkrieg failed , the head of the kremlin boasted to his government in the summer whether he is right, joins the authors of the host program деньги на звободе of the russian service radio freedom maksym blunt maksym hello maksym, this is when putin says that the restriction has reached its goal , as far as he is right, and she did not shake it, but it is all because of how it is evaluated . putin, for example, claims that the russian academy is very resistant to international sanctions, and if you judge by gdp figures, then it is probably a drop of 2.5% of gdp - this is really not very serious if

you remember that the russian budget spent , the russian ministry of finance spent a third more than planned and for seven and a half trillion rubles, and this will affect five percent of gdp, the fall is already 8%, and this is already somehow more serious. they give at least 17% of inflation. what else is behind it? besides, the prices have risen . there is an account of a foreign brand. well, if the car was a foreign market , it was a toyota bmw lexus. others are practically not sold in russia, about spare parts, nothing, that is, in principle , of course, on the quality of life, and it was said, not to mention that europe and in general intelligence countries are now

practically closed to russians, and they can only drive those who have humanitarian visas have humanitarian visas. as a rule, those who, as a rule, risk persecution from the kremlin and because of the fact that they are not, well, there is only asia , china. they all stopped traveling abroad in order to well, if we include thailand, there is turkey recently, that is, life has definitely changed a-a as for the economy , well, and how the sanctions have affected the first half of the 22nd year, the first half of the year , the wars will say so, eh, prices have soared gazprom began to supply energy carriers less gas to europe, but due to the fact that the price went up almost three times, he

received record drilling revenues , the state has already spent almost all of this money. in a practical way, last year they were all spent and the budget came out to a serious deficit in january of this year, the hole grew to some gigantic sums. very often these sanctions are called anti-russian or anti-military, so here i am listening to you now and uh, i can confirm you say that uh, the sanctions affected the quality and comfort of life of citizens, but on the possibility of waging war for putin, they these sanctions did not change anything. i understood you correctly. if we are talking about the production of modern weapons

systems, then of course they have been delayed . well , the sanctions. and very often, i just have insider information, eh, the parties that are purchased in china are simply thrown away, yes, and buy a new one, that is, it’s a giga of gigantic expenses, of course the government , and the ministry of finance and the ministry of defense have money to buy them in china or in turkey, etikomponenty, but uh, again, not in those quantities, they had to be redone. and as for some ordinary shells and cartridges there, well, yes, now, uh , all those military factories that rivet all this work are working in three shifts and eh, regardless of what

will make the west, er, some simple video weapons and continue to produce them, you need to keep your eyes open, the principle of the gun instead of oil will work, if we look at the structure of the russian gdp, then the fate that was previously occupied by er , the assembly of foreign cars is now taking place that's why russians go on foot accordingly. well , that's all. well, it's necessary to say frankly. but it's already been recognized in the west that war is not a high-tech ordinary artillery duel, and that's why, in general, russia has projectiles sufficient amount of nato countries are now talking about what needs to be produced more, they did not expect that this is exactly such a war eh and what kind of sanctions from your point of view the west still has in stock that could really be introduced but so far they are not introducing and which could

to stop the war or something essentially , let's say so , uh, slow it down. sanctions in china, turkey, armenia, georgia, kazakhstan, as well as kazakhstan, the article is carried out between a, yes, yes, that’s it, that’s the whole construction , the so-called parallel import, and the actual smuggling of counterfeits, which are not infrequently exhibited, including by western companies, at a rate to russia through a third country later that it is profitable, yes, when the whole structure collapses, yes , there will really be some effect until the secondary sanctions begin to work. well, the work is, yes, some turkish banks close the accounts of russian ones , how is it correct, some kazakhstani banks

they stopped working with russian banks in which the power is off. but this is again an isolated case, yes, and the system works . so far, no, it has passed through the system of secondary sanctions, although it is generally announced. yes, in the americans they said that those who will work with the russians to circumvent american sanctions will be put on the sanctions list themselves . the countries that are actively helping russia are being bypassed by one-tenth not as effectively as they could maxim thank you very much for your comment maxim blunt , the authors of the program money for the freedom of russia would like to talk about sanctions against russia , and one more announcement at the very end of the premier the swedish minister did not rule out
