[000:00:00;00] fc had reports from unit commanders about the use of chemical weapons by the ukrainian side, some soldiers are experiencing nausea, vomiting, severe dizziness - said the so-called adviser to the head of the dpr . tries to get out of the water channel and then drowns, on the scary footage you can see how fighters of the armed forces of the russian federation are trying to hide from the ukrainian uav in the water, but everything is in vain after dropping the ammunition, they start having convulsions, after which they drown, however, the accusations of the alleged use of chemical weapons by the armed forces of ukraine are completely unfounded, moreover, none of the materials distributed as evidence by the russian mass media do not have weapons prohibited by humanitarian law on the video. you can see the use of an f1 grenade and cluster munitions of bogo

, in addition to the fact that in 1998 ukraine ratified the international convention on the prohibition of chemical weapons, sowing in ukraine is under threat of failure , since all the grain was exported from the country the kremlin media announced the threat of crop failure in 2023 in ukraine as part of a wider narrative about hunger and famine in ukraine, russian propagandists claim that an agreement according to which grain from ukrainian ports was allegedly actively exported to western countries turned out to be a disaster for ukraine itself as a result of the grain corridor with the country was exported. almost all grain, about 20 million tons , including seeds, ukrainian farmers have nothing to sow the fields, the russian media write another media report about the disruption of sowing in ukraine

this is no more than another round of informational aggression against ukraine, according to the deputy chairman of the all-ukrainian agrarian council , denys marchuk, in an interview with the columnist, the expert noted that the information about the failure of sowing does not correspond to reality. the wartime period despite these conditions we managed to collect about 60-7 million tons of these crops despite the fact that ukraine needs about 18 million tons to meet its annual needs, that is , even in war conditions, we have the potential not only to provide for themselves and also to export twice as much to foreign markets. zelensky sympathizes with the turkish people and expressed the hope that the supply of aid to the country will not stop. users in social networks are spreading the information that the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi allegedly wrote a letter of sympathy to the turkish

people because of the devastating earthquake in which he did not forget to remind about his hope that the aid to ukraine will continue, each such publication is supplemented with an alleged screenshot , however, each such screenshot is edited they confirm in the stop-fake project that this post was created in a photo editor. president zelenskyi did not express sympathy for turkey in such a form, as evidenced by all his appeals regarding the devastating earthquake , also in the official account of the ukrainian president , the appeal was first published in turkish and then in ukrainian , in fact, volodymyr zelenskyi i expressed my sincere condolences to the president of turkey to the people and the families of those killed in the earthquake and wished a speedy recovery to all the victims, and now yevhen fedchenko has joined me. the chief editor of stopfake, i want to talk with him about

the latest trends in russian propaganda, mr. fedchenko. congratulations. thank you for joining, thank you for the invitation, mr. yevhen. there are numerous reports, for example, from the harvard young vesit school about the use of prohibited weapons by russian soldiers, for what purpose does the kremlin accuse ukraine of because what russia is actually doing is an attempt to divert the attention of the audience, or do such fakes perhaps have some other purpose, well, in fact, such fakes have the purpose of several things that russian propaganda wants to achieve, too repeats them with a certain regularity, first of all, it is usual to discredit ukraine, to discredit the ukrainian armed forces , to accuse them of using prohibited types of weapons, and such accusations appear on a regular basis, and we have already refuted them they are very many times, in fact what is happening

is that this is a certain reflection of their own russian practices, what they are doing , what they are resorting to and stockpiles of such weapons that ukraine has not used and does not use they are in russia, the first thing that remains is she is not a signatory of certain conventions and even if she was not going to sign them one by one, and in the same way for the international audience, such important keywords as chemical weapons work here therefore, it is very important for russia that ukraine should be heard precisely in the context of such accusations that ukraine either resorts to the use of chemical weapons or biological weapons, we all remember the stories about the secret e-e secret biological laboratories e of the pentagon on the territory of ukraine we also remember that ukraine's accusations that it was allegedly developing nuclear

weapons on the eve of a full -scale invasion were one of the reasons for this invasion, that is, these are the things that should sound to the international audience, attract attention, intimidate and discredit ukraine . they are effective and for certain audiences they are ineffective if we are talking about the audience of the global north and where they are very skeptical, to put it mildly, about all information that comes from the kremlin or the kremlin media, but so that we do not think that there is no audience for such messages, because this is also wrong, such audiences still exist in the countries of the so-called global rooster. and we see how not only users of social networks repeat all these accusations by the russian hetman, but even sometimes the local media

also cite this information and treat it as something that should be taken as real information, some proven facts, and this means that we should not stop in the process of posting this and reporting these debunks to very different audiences, we need to expand the scope of our activities and go to those countries where our positions are so strong in terms of establishing facts and restoring the truth. well, i really hope that we do this, that is, we expand, we say everything that this is not true in the regions you mentioned. well, let's say a few words about the sowing campaign, what goals is russia trying to achieve by spreading news about the possible failure of the sowing campaign in ukraine? well, actually, in such

information, which, by the way, also appears from the obvious regularity of er there are several audiences as well and this is er that er how russian disinformation works, it tries to package the same information so that it can work in different ways for different audiences, for example, it is important for from the point of view of influence to the ukrainian audience, and because to some extent, this should provoke the impression that ukraine may be threatened with famine because the seed company is failing. but nothing will happen and, accordingly , ukraine will have problems, but if ukraine will have problems, then, accordingly, then uh, uh, and uh, these uh-uh, international partners who expected ukraine to supply grain will also have problems, and this and the information that russia will already try to convey to those

countries that are potential recipients of uh -e of these deliveries and again these are the countries of the global cock, the countries of africa, the countries of the near east, and i am sure that they will be very sensitive to any such information. well, and the third point - this is, again, who is to blame for in the world a food crisis has arisen, of course, russia always blames ukraine for this, that is, every time we hear somewhere that there are some problems with the supply of grain on global markets , russia immediately appears, which explains that it is not its aggression against ukraine that is the main cause of the in general, the food crisis and ukraine, and in order to solve this problem , it is necessary to exert more pressure on ukraine so that it agrees to some russian conditions of the so-called peaceful settlement, well, blame ukraine, as, after all, the entire civilized world

- this is as russian as i understand it, unfortunately. well, we have his last question for you, mr. evgeny, for today, how does the strategy of dehumanizing the ukrainian government help russia in the information war? and this is the strategy that it has been pursuing for many years, even we can say that this happened even before 2014, and to a less noticeable level after that. it did not happen at all, we industrial women of an industrial scale of production, and in order to show in fact that ukrainians are some kind of people not people who, accordingly, do some terrible things, starting from the use of some prohibited weapons and ending with the fact that ukraine was accused of organizing genocide in the donbas, but this all had to serve because we created a certain image for ukraine that would repel

any potential allies partners er undermined the moral position of er ukraine of the ukrainian armed forces well, in the end, again, it comes down to the impact on the morale of the ukrainian military and their ability to resist as a matter of fact of all ukrainians, of course, again on a global scale - it doesn't work, but locally we see how some of these stories are picked up by the media, picked up by some human rights organizations, and this sends us a very important signal that each of the russian fake standards can be found with your audience. therefore, we need to continue the company of refuting them and conveying the truth. thank you very much, mr. yevhen, for participating in my program and thank you for

your work in debunking russian fakes of russian propaganda. it was yevgeny fedchenko, the chief editor of stopfake, and then in sport life ukraine, a selection of news from abroad and a conversation with an interesting guest, and it is obvious that all this is related to ukraine, how together with the civilized world we are speeding up our joint victory, see ukraine will become a member of nato, but now it must first win in an aggressive russian war , the secretary general of the north atlantic treaty organization jens stoltenberg of the alliance, according to him, now all members of the military-political alliance are primarily focused on helping ukraine, but the only possibility to integrate our country and ensure its movement towards euro-atlantic cooperation, according to the nato secretary general , is for ukraine to continue

to exist as a sovereign and independent state now in ukraine the types of weapons that were allocated to it some time ago are urgently needed, but they have not yet been delivered. and these are bmp tanks and ammunition, but the provision of aircraft is not the most important topic now, although there are discussions about this questions continue about this, nato secretary general jenstoltenberg said on tuesday during a press conference before the start of the meeting of the defense ministers of the north atlantic alliance member countries in brussels , the nato secretary general emphasized that with the development of the situation on the battlefield, the support that the alliance provided to ukraine changed at first. it was only light anti-tank weapons. and now - these are heavy weapons and even tanks. people who propose to stop military support for ukraine in order to stop the russian war are naive about this in on wednesday, during the plenary session

of the european parliament , the head of european diplomacy, josep borel, said. in his opinion, it is now possible to talk about finding a diplomatic way, but at the same time, it is necessary to continue giving weapons to ukraine . but if we really want the war to end as soon as possible, then for this we must help ukraine not less, but on the contrary more and even faster, even more pressure , the european commission proposed the 10th package of sanctions against russia, it should prohibit the export of technological components that the occupiers use in weapons, as well as introduce restrictions on counter-structures and third countries that help russia in supplying, in particular to iran , the president of the european commission , ursula von deryan, said that the package of sanctions targets many industrial goods that can be used in the military sector. it is planned to conduct a review of all russian assets frozen in the eu in order

to provide them in the future to help ukraine , we will track oligarchs who are trying to hide or sell their assets to avoid sanctions and together with the member states we will conduct a review of all frozen assets of the russian central bank that are stored in the eu we need to know where they are located and how much they are worth this is extremely important in view of the possible use of russian state assets for financing reconstruction of ukraine, putin continues to change his generals as often as i change my socks , which means that he has problems about this on tuesday during the briefing, said the coordinator from the strategic communications of the national security council of the white house, john kirby, according to him, during the year of the war, the kremlin did not manage to solve the problems within its underarmy , mr. admiral kirbiv believes that the president of the aggressor country, putin, makes the wrong decisions , and his worst decision was to start

a large-scale invasion a year ago to ukraine , which did not pose any threat to russia . next week, washington may announce the provision of another military aid to ukraine. this was reported in the columns of the american publication washington post with reference to sources in the administration of president joe biden, according to the information released by the white house, they believe that a critical moment is coming in the russian war in ukraine and that kyiv can change the situation on the battlefield in its favor with the help of the received western weapons, and now more about support for ukraine in particular from estonia, i had the great honor to talk about it with urmas rein salon, the minister of foreign affairs of this small country, which proved to be a real

great friend of our country of 100 billion dollars in 2023, how realistic is it, will there be any resistance from other european countries, and maybe other european european governments, how immediately, as the circumstances require it, we call for a paradigm shift in helping ukraine for the long-term, we understand that we want not only to help ukraine to survive and not to lose, but to do everything possible and everything that is necessary for ukraine to win and get a victory. we do not want to make any appeals. we have already made a number of decisions regarding the provision of our

ammunition and weapons, which exceeded the found percent of our gdp and we are calling on all nato members to surrender to such actions already and we are already seeing positive movements. yes, there is some hesitation , but in general we are encouraging our allies to act immediately to provide aircraft, provide long-range radio missiles to the judge, and indeed we understand that this is a very escalating situation, but my the answer will be as follows: yes, we are not talking about any further escalation, this range of weapons used by the ukrainians will actually cause not the invasion of the russians, russia is the reason for this and it is

our duty. the principles of aid to ukraine, and in particular it is about increasing the price for russian aggression, aid to ukraine and an honest assessment of aggressive actions which of these points is the most difficult, all points are equally difficult from different angles because they require a clear solution and the will of good will to contribute to aid to ukraine we need increasing aid to ukraine , in particular, it is about the military military component, secondly, the sanctions against russia, i

hope we will be able to implement the 10th package of sanctions at the eu level, but also in fact the moment is that russia continues to make a profit from the sale of oil, and therefore we constantly call for a reduction in the price of russian oil, not $16 per barrel, but less, for example, $30. that is, to reduce the price of oil twice together, and we understand that this is very important, it will reduce and weaken the longing of russia, and the third element is the further isolation and global exile of russia, they do not have, they should not have any place in international organizations , there must be attempts somewhere review the participation

of russian delegations in particular in such events like the olympic games and the like, and their actions should be condemned at the highest level. also, the elements of isolation should not include such moments as to freeze and transfer the assets of oligarchs that are in western countries, which are hundreds of billions of dollars, and these funds must be transferred to ukraine, in particular, it is about the reconstruction of ukraine about the recovery period. this will be a very important factor. if it is possible to implement it, and of course it is necessary to create an international tribunal that will consider the war crimes committed by the russians. putin and his closest circle, mr. ministers but do people in europe, people from

the collective event , influential people in general, do they agree with what estonia de vele offers ? that someone is against some specific components, but in general the support is very broad in many directions, we do not see any rapid development of events that we would like when we talk about, for example , the freezing and transfer of russian assets or about the creation of an international tribunal, we understand that it takes time, as well as for the further delivery of weapons, we know our duty, we know that we must do it, it is our moral responsibility to call on our partners to act and act immediately because we because we understand how important

was the battle for kyiv last spring , what was the bravery of the ukrainian people, how did they fight back the aggressor. it was a battle for european freedom and a fulvka, if we see less than one percent of the gdp of ukraine compared to the gdp of the european union, we understand that the investments you make in the freedom of ukraine, the european union

, they are very small and we can do more, that's why i am carrying this message to my partners. and i believe that ukraine will not be a key issue, but one of the key items on the agenda that the ministers of foreign affairs will talk about. i hope that they will talk about ukraine and of course, this will be a key discussion. and i hope that we will discuss as many aspects as possible of how to help ukraine. regarding moldova, i hope that the minister of foreign affairs of moldova will also join us. we also

support and stand in solidarity with moldova and the people of ukraine. there are also many elements there. hybrid yes from the side of russia, mr. ministers, if they evaluated the last meeting of the contact group in the rammstein format positively, there are steps in the right direction and, as already said , and i understand our role in encouraging our partners and allies without any e-e without any doubt to do to no longer impose any political burden on certain e-e decisions to provide weapons more to provide the entire range of conventional pollution that is at our disposal and in order to defend

ukraine and e-e we will have this issue in the future and my last question to you mr. minister, for today so when will the russian war in ukraine end? i am not talking about any specific date or time period, but in general what can be considered the end of this aggressive war in ukraine and in estonia in particular. in fact, everything is in the hands of the free world and everything depends on others, we will increase the level of our support for ukraine and we understand that ukrainian victory depends on this, so ukraine will win in this, there is no doubt, but the question is when it is necessary to do it earlier and it is in the hands of the countries

of the free world to have the ability to do it the ability to support ukraine and also to act strategically in order to contribute to the victory, that is why i deeply hope that ukraine will win this year. i am confident in our victory that it will happen this year , of course, thanks to our brave soldiers and also thanks to the help we receive from the countries of the west, in particular from estonia we sincerely thank you from all the ukrainian people glory to ukraine glory to the heroes it was the minister of foreign affairs of estonia urmas rein salo who spoke about supporting ukraine on the way to our joint victory over the aggressor in the us congress has the necessary majority to continue providing support to ukraine in the amounts that have been provided so far in an interview with the american tv channel cbs - said

the head of the committee on international affairs of the house of representatives, republican michael mccall , so he commented on the information that 11 republican congressmen registered the draft resolution about the termination of support to ukraine, congressman mccall said, in particular, i am still confident that we are providing the ukrainians with all the help they need, i would like it to be done faster so that they could have won faster in the ministry of foreign affairs of poland, not a single graduate of the moscow state institute of international relations, who is better known as hymon, has been working in the ministry of foreign affairs of poland for two months. how was he dismissed in an interview with the polish newspaper - said the head of the foreign policy department of the commonwealth of independent states he did not name those released , mr. raut commented on this decision as follows: we managed to close a very important process that is part of decommunization, since the moscow

institute of international relations was an investment in the functioning of russian imperialism and part of the great project of soviet imperialism. well, today this is all news from the world that concerns ukraine, but not everything in spotlight and ukraine. we continue . the subway art museum in new york recognized illuripin and ivan aivazovsky as ukrainian and not russian artists for the portrait of the writer vsevolod garshin, from now on it is indicated that it is the work of a ukrainian and lyriapin, in the same way, in the work ship in the moonlight of the mariner ivan aivazovsky, the artist is indicated as a ukrainian previously, the metropolitan art museum also changed the nationality of mariupol-born artist arkhip kuindzhi from russian to ukrainian in its descriptions and that's all for today in spotlight ukraine they talked about trends
