[000:00:00;00] the russian army in ukraine this year and when a lot of countries can influence it. in order to strengthen the power, we now understand that the russians lack both people and equipment, and therefore, in fact, we need to bring the responsible persons to justice, so this year it is possible and my last the question is whether china can help russia in some way. if it helps, can it be considered a turning point? yes, the situation will be much more difficult depending on what kind of help china can provide to russia, of course, such support such support of illegal genocidal aggression it would be very foolish for china thank you for this interview on the spotlight ukraine program

see you next time russian propaganda continues to spread fakes about ukraine this time the media close to the kremlin accuse our country of preparing provocations in unrecognized transnistria and even in the production of chemical weapons more details in our weekly review called fetchek lansky called on the united states of america to send its citizens to fight for ukraine on social networks spread the message that the president of ukraine is allegedly calling to enter the war if they do not want to provide enough weapons and the us to send its sons and daughters to participate in military operations, as confirmation , users add an 18-second excerpt from zelensky's press conference on the anniversary of the full-scale invasion of the united states the states of america will send their sons

and daughters as we send ours today, this excerpt of the interview is twisted out of context and misleads the audience. the popular video is part of the answer of the president of ukraine to the bbc journalist's question about what he wanted to say to the growing number of american citizens who believe that the usa provides too much support to ukraine and if it happens that ukraine will not survive due to certain opinions due to the weakening of this or that aid, russia will come it will happen to the nato states, they will come from the baltic states, they will enter and take over the baltic states, this will happen and then the united states of america will send its sons and daughters as today we are sending ours and they will fight and fight because it is nato

and they will die. it is clear from the full answer that volodymyr zelenskyi did not at all call on nato to enter the war on the side of ukraine and even more so did not declare that the usa should send its troops to fight against russia. danilov said that ukraine is ready to stop destabilization in moldova by military means, the russian media wrote about this, and some even added that kyiv does not rule out the invasion of ukrainian troops into transnistria . kyiv can intervene in the situation around of the unrecognized transnistrian republic of moldova if the government of moldova asks for it - stated on march 3 in an interview with rbc ukraine, secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine oleksiy danilov oleksiy danilov did not make any statements regarding ukraine's readiness to help moldova militarily in the event of russian attempts to destabilize the situation when asked journalist about whether kyiv is ready , in particular, to support kishinev through military means

, the secretary of the nsdc replied that if there is such an appeal, it can be considered taking into account all the processes and circumstances that happening especially since we are neighbors, it was this quote that became the reason for manipulation , but danilov did not make any statements that ukraine is ready to provide military support to moldova, and even more so is preparing an invasion of transnistria ukraine is making a dirty bomb using california 252 russian media actively spread the disinformation statement of the spokeswoman of the russian ministry of foreign affairs, maria sakharova, who once again tried to accuse kyiv of creating nuclear weapons according to these data on february 16 to the port of chornomorsk, bypassing customs inspection containers with radioactive

substances and english-language markings were delivered from the territory of one of the european states. zakharova stated that the kyiv regime was preparing an armed provocation against transnistria, adding that ukraine was allegedly planning an attack using radioactive substances; moreover, this time russian disinformation is absurd from a scientific point of view california 252, which zakharova claims is an extremely rare and incredibly expensive radioactive metal of california 252 does not occur in nature and is manufactured exclusively in laboratory conditions in a high-current isotope reactor . this is not the first time that the russian authorities have tried to accuse ukraine of preparing mythical nuclear provocations, however, none of the kremlin 's statements have been confirmed. patla ukraine the ukrainian version and now in our

fake-check column we will destroy the myths constantly produced by russian propaganda and the next guest yevgen fetchenko, he is the main by the editor of headquarters-fake , mr. yevgeny congratulations . thank you for the invitation. why does russian propaganda constantly parasitize on the topic of the participation of foreigners in the war on the side of ukraine? war against ukraine, since 2014, there have been constant stories, fake stories, of course, about the fact that in fact it is not ukraine that is fighting , and representatives of foreign armies are actually fighting on the side of ukraine. we

saw, that is, the polish army, which the pentagon and foreign military companies are also involved, which seem to be participating. well, just mercenaries, who actually took over the main activities at the front, this is done with one simple goal, firstly, in order to minimize the role of the ukrainian armed forces , discredit them and show that in fact ukraine itself is not can conduct military operations that are particularly effective if it is an effective campaign from the point of view of various indicators and secondly why are they talking about this to a foreign audience because they want to intimidate it in the first place by promising so to speak the internationalization of this conflict, this war, they say that sooner or later the west will still have to fight and get involved

in it, and the only way not to do this is not to provoke russia, not to provide ukraine with weapons, not to lead to escalation or not to cross red lines, as they say a to force ukraine to peace, of course to peace on russian terms, and then they say you will not have to send your children, sons and daughters, as was the case in this material, which debunked a stop fake, but in fact, there was a story there completely different and it was said in a completely different context that if you do not help ukraine now and ukraine will fall then you yourself will have to fight and then for sure your soldiers will have to take part in this because first of all it is in the interests of the west to support ukraine now including support with weapons and other types of support in order not to have to directly

participate in this war, but this myth, as i have already said, is constantly used by russian propaganda, and when it was recruited by some such completely comic twists. for example, once there was a story about how, a few years ago , afro-polish troops were supposedly fighting in the east of ukraine, and polish troops, that is, how african americans are only from poland, for some reason, and they decided to use such a construct. and it was one such from examples of history that have not only this fake in order to discredit the armed forces of ukraine, but also such, as it were , racist undertones that should work very well for the russian public for the russian audience, which uses such things very often in social networks, that is, it is understandable for the domestic consumer, and for

the international community, it is a narrative that if you do not stop the ukrainian army now , the third world war may begin, according to russian propaganda, in fact. is actively spreading so, again, every time ukraine either receives additional weapons or there are some meetings in ramstein about weapons, every time after that russia says about red lines and again it is used to scare the west with a third world war , which can be avoided, which can be avoided in only one way, that is to stop supporting ukraine another group of fakes that is connected with transnistria, for some reason recently they are constantly trying to in the russian media

to support this topic, does it mean that they bear it in huge numbers and discuss even in talk shows that it is necessary to prepare for new provocations . it is from russian propaganda and from the russian special services, well, again, here we are must remember that this discussion of the transnistria issue did not start now , it has been going on for more than a year, and it was the last phase of this. well, it is used again on the one hand, with the aim of accusing ukraine of destabilizing the region, casting a shadow again on the armed forces of ukraine seem to be trying to transfer this conflict to neighboring countries, but in fact this is what russia is doing and is actively using the transnistrian issue in order to destabilize

the region itself and the government in chisinau, but the same this narrative has a very important military application, because if russia constantly talks about the possibility of even its own military actions by throwing such fakes, it means that ukraine must constantly keep its troops in combat readiness near moldova and, accordingly, withdraw them from other areas where their participation was would be much more important today . that is, it can be such a distracting maneuver, but constantly talking about moldova is actually trying to destabilize the situation somewhere on another part of the front. well, again

still distorting the words of the ukrainian leadership, for example, they are trying to present the fact that ukraine constantly threatens to use force. well, again, as i already said, it should look like ukraine as a source of aggression and a source of regional instability, and accordingly, it should affect the who and how ukraine is supported or not supported thank you and to one more case that we saw today in the review, what shall we start when in the last few months i have not heard the phrase dirty bomb i was already thinking to calm down, but no at first combat mosquitoes then there were combat geese now californium is again a chemical weapon, despite the seemingly complete absurdity of what they are trying to produce in the russian propaganda machine , this information is still intended for someone, why are they

doing it? well, if we go back a year ago to the moment before the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, we will remember that it is precisely this narrative that ukraine is allegedly trying to acquire nuclear weapons that russia used such a grant narrative in order to explain its aggression and to articulate the reasons for this alleged aggression in order to stop ukraine from obtaining nuclear weapons. in fact, this is another version of the same fake narrative. so, in general , there are many such examples of the use of fakes related to chemical or biological nuclear weapons, and again, the main audience

is here in the west in order to intimidate the audience there and, again, to make ukraine's support much smaller by showing that it seems that ukraine violates international agreements, uses various prohibited types of weapons, is actively working on their development, so she is a violator, not russia is an aggressor and a violator of international law, but it seems that ukraine violates all these norms of international law, but although these stories that we debunked, it is very clearly written there why exactly this element cannot be used, well , more precisely, technically, it can, but from the point of view point of view if the expediency of the probability of its use, and this is absolutely ridiculous. so , again, there is another important detail that

russia is only one of two countries that have access to this element, and therefore it is possible for everyone when russia uses some accusations towards ukraine, it will thus reflect some of its plans and some of its strategic ideas that it wants to implement in relation to ukraine, at least we should not reject such a possibility, but what about biolaboratories, because first a few months from the time of a full-scale invasion this news circulated constantly , and then, having no facts, they quietly covered it all up, how does it happen from the point of view of logic for the consumer, they talked , they talked, then bang, and nothing happened complete informational silence, in fact, they bring up this topic enough , because this is one of the key points of how

to build such strategic narratives. they need to be constantly repeated and nourished in order for them to be etched in the memory of those who consume it, and just like that for they make it a textbook, information appears from time to time, and here we also have to understand that even when it does not appear, and this information continues to live its own life, because such is nature, so to speak fake information if we go to social networks in different countries in different languages , we will find a huge number of references to this information. uses

this narrative, he lives his life, and there will always be an audience that will be happy to use it, repeat, amplify it for very different reasons, it can be some audience that specifically works to amplify of russian disinformation, these may be those who are supporters of some conspiracy theories. there are also a lot of them, that is, every fake has its own audience, which lives in this bubble and will gladly use it for its informational needs, even if for a while they have somewhere disappeared from view thank you thank you mr. yevhen yevhen fechenko editor-in-chief of stop fake was just a guest of our regular fake-check column you are watching the ukrainian version of train in patlight

what is the world this week and how are these events will affect ukraine, our international columnist yuri fizer knows for sure that this week in the world seemed unexpectedly full, and obviously because of the protests in georgia about them and much more in my part of spotlight ukraine, the ukrainian version of my name is yuri fizer and i am starting in the parliamentary elections in estonia, the party of the incumbent won the prime minister of the country, kai kalas, her reformists won 37 seats in the parliament, which consists of 101 , the conservative party finished second, she secured the support of a little more than 60% of the country's citizens with the right to vote, the centrists took the third step, now there is a panic, it will be necessary to hold negotiations with representatives of other political forces that have passed to the parliament , this is necessary for the creation of a coalition government. ursula funderlein of the european commission during a meeting with

us president joe biden on saturday at the white house, in addition , they discussed energy security and the war in ukraine during the meeting mrs. fonderlein expressed the joint determination to support our country in the fight for freedom and to make russia pay a high price for its brutal war. the governments of france and great britain are unanimous in the fact that ukraine must continue to be helped until its complete victory . during the final press conference, british prime minister rishi sunak and french president emmanuel macron said during the final press conference in paris that in order for ukraine to win the russian war and russia once and for all lost, kyiv must continue to be given enough weapons so that it sits down at the negotiating table with an advantage, if china does decide to give russia its weapons, then ber should help ukraine even more than now, german defense minister boris pistorius said about this during an interview with a german radio station he noted that in

such a case, the role of the celestial body as a peace mediator between ukraine and russia, which could put pressure on the leadership in the kremlin, would be significantly weakened. and he called such a scenario disappointing in geopolitical terms, we will continue to support ukraine in its fair fight against russian aggression, but we will not decide something behind the backs of ukrainians , german chancellor olaf scholz said at the beginning of the week at a press conference following the results of the meeting of the country's government, while mr. scholz once again emphasized that that official berlin will continue to help ukraine as long as it is necessary for its victory, ukraine needs more ammunition, the head of european diplomacy, josep borel, said in on wednesday in stockholm at an informal meeting of defense ministers of eu member states, in particular, mr. burel said that the european union's expenses for immediate supplies of ammunition from european arsenals will amount to 1 billion euros. and the program of medium-term assistance and joint

ordering may reach 4 billion euros, despite failures on the putin front, most likely will try to continue its aggressive war in ukraine for many years , the head of us national intelligence, evril, said during the hearings in the us senate. according to haynes, the president of the aggressor country, vladimir putin, is convinced that time is on his side, and therefore he is considering the best option to continue his war to ensure the fulfillment of his strategic goals. party, the georgian dream of the initiator of the civil movement document, the strength of the people and the parliamentary majority, according to the representatives of these political forces, the initiative caused disagreements in society, and its approval in the first reading in the eyes of some of the public was presented as a departure from

the european course, i will remind you that on march 7, the georgian parliament passed a bill on foreign agents in the first reading, this caused protests and clashes under the parliament and more about the situation in georgia and how it can develop i will talk to my guest this is volodymyr kopchak, an expert of the south caucasian branch of the army conversion and disarmament research center, mr. volodymyr well, let's talk about georgia, obviously the country's parliament failed the law on foreign agents, or else to put it simply, i voted against in the second reading, can it be considered a victory of the georgian people during the protests, and the second question immediately after that, whether we should expect anything further after this, because there are already statements by the opposition that they are not going to stop at this, and what will happen will demand various resignations. at this stage , speaking in the language of sports, it is definitely a complete victory for

georgian civil society without options. we very correctly said the word failed because the people who for the third day he went out on the street in rustaveli and not only in other cities, he demanded that this law be repealed procedurally and according to the regulations, he did not leave any chance for the authorities to squirm a little and start playing. she tried to do this because to withdraw the law in accordance with the georgian legislation after it was voted on in the first reading is impossible. in principle, they pushed to the point that a voted against it in the second reading. at another point, they wanted to play a week, a week, play, what are you there destroyed something in front of we can't work on it clamped gathered in extraordinary session on friday voted in one wicket removed from the issues withdrew their wishes to send him to the venice commission and withdrew another version of the law which was called about not agents but

tracing paper from the american volume at this stage this is a complete victory of civil society regarding what will happen next, all the demands have not been removed . first, another marker of victory. yesterday , more than 130 people were released in an oral order. those who chose to participate in the protest of the ministry of internal affairs in a panic the regime reported about it, now the protest is directly talking to you. he is standing on the street and demands an attack, first of all, exclude even with regard to the removed some others any let's say criminal prosecutions and another point - this is the most interesting for me, this is sorry, not criminal, but political responsibility, first of all , the leadership the ministry of internal affairs is a specific requirement and another aspect of the entire government, but i think that in a sense the street will work, but from the point of view of whether

it will turn into a classic let's say it, sorry for such analogies revolutionary scenario i think on this pre-election track, this will not happen because the authorities, once again yielding to each other, will try to play with the protest and play on the weakest point of this protest - it is the dispersion and lack of unity in the georgian opposition, mr. volodymyr , tell me, please, share the atmosphere of these protests, which took place on march 7 and 8 , only people who support the opposition went there . is this law more faithful than its adoption in the first reading, after all, it united georgians and they did not want this law absolutely vla succeeded impossible why did they stir up a part of society it is beyond different estimates about 50% which is in the black-white dichotomy of georgia internal political which is divided misha antimisha i am in a clear language indicate are these cartuli from the sky

the georgian dream against the mishists yes these people lived according to the principle a plague on both of your houses. that's right. that's why they were able to disturb this plast . that's why the other moment the students came out. the youth came out . do you understand whether they are tied to them mixed or not? the state in which saakashvili is now in the prisons, it is politically impossible to bind the youth with the same, because they were either not born then or went to kindergarten in 2003-2006, this was the main driver of this process, in my opinion, and this, in my opinion, scared the government the most that beck's office, beck's political science office, ivanishvili, it's enough , it's true, and the best thing in georgia is that he started to roll back, and i think i think that they left this option to roll back in negotiations

with the same washington with the european by the union. but such a surge. such a surge is really a unity, it just basically did not exist. i will give one example of an acquaintance. she came out, for example, a young woman with a poster and said do not stand next to the nationalists . in the georgian language, because it is, by the way, about the atmosphere, that is , there are no questions here. and this was a very huge contrast , for example, with the events after the night of the 19th year, when in principle even one of the results was that one of the protestors the eye remained until now and in principle they were able to put it out. that is why the authorities here were most afraid of the dynamics of the protests, which was mr. volodymyr, the last question for you today. please tell me why the authorities of georgia had to put this law to

the vote at all if they knew that it could to lead to such protests, but in short, this is the main question, you understand, i don’t believe in idiocy that can explain everything, but this failure happened in this direction, another moment , if you look for some kind of ratio, it is still a game of invasion, as i said with brussels and washington, i want to remind you that now the politicians and the government of georgia are in the format of fulfilling the eu's 12-point homework, one of which is de-oligarchization, this is against the background of their attitude to the war in ukraine, the russian federation , other issues, that is, the pressure was already there and i consider this moment as what the authorities wanted to demonstrate that we can make it like this , that is, to europe, in their logic, georgia must go permanently under the current configuration of the government well , we played a little, of course, mr. volodymyr , thank you very much for participating in the program, thank you for that

that clarified the situation that is happening that is now in this country and about how it can develop thank you very much sincerely and mutually grateful it was volodymyr kopchak, the head of the south caucasian branch of the center for the study of the army of conversion and disarmament, we talked with him about the situation in georgia and how she can develop, her highness in camouflage, princess of wales kate middleton visited british servicemen who train ukrainian soldiers and officers, she visited the salisbury military training ground, where she met with soldiers of the irish guard, they in particular conduct demining training for their colleagues from the armed forces of ukraine, in a post of the royal family on the social network, they emphasized that the princess watched with admiration the work of the military, which they perform in any weather. well, that's all for today in my part of spotlight ukraine, the ukrainian version will be next week my
