[000:00:00;00] for the time being, it is advisable not to send weapons and ammunition to russia at least until the visit of the leader of the heavenly seat to moscow and his meeting with the president of the aggressor country vladimir putin, and the most important thing is that if the leadership of the aggressor country did not try to replenish its military ranks in the leaders according to the pace of procurement of weapons and ammunition , ukraine invaded against the background of a full-scale invasion, our country became the third importer of weapons in the world and, together with its allies and partners, continues to do so every day closer to his own victory, he still sends military aid to russia, we will discuss this issue with john edward herbsht, director of the eurasian center of the us atlantic council and former us ambassador to ukraine, he wants to buy weapons anywhere in

order to wage war in ukraine, in particular, they are even in contact with asian countries like how does myanmar know about this? intelligence data shows whether it will be possible to involve myanmar in the war against ukraine . in short, i don't know, but in general , we can say that, of course, myanmar does not want to suffer from sanctions, what kind of sanctions do you mean, there are a lot of different sanctions that can be applied against myanmar, in particular with regard to participation in the global world international economy, we understand what the kremlin offers to such countries in exchange for countries like myanmar. of course, they may offer them some other than money, i am not really sure what a collective

measure can offer to those countries in exchange for countries that, again, are currently hesitating whether to help russia. yes, there are countries that already understand that there are such countries. doesn't face any additional additional punishment for sending the game sending aid to russia of course the sanctions regime is a very, very big incentive for countries not to enter this war and that's why i think they are effective so punishment is the best tool now the best way but it works and there are indeed signs that the sanctions are working, you must have heard that the ukrainian military shot down a chinese drone in the east of ukraine, what should be the reaction of our allies and is it possible

to assume that china has already entered the war against ukraine i would also share the concept the supply of weapons and entry into the war, because we understand that even russia supplies a lot of weapons to ukraine, such a message about a drone that was shot down from china, it was american equipment with american components, and now the whole world is very carefully watching this situation and we will see what happens how can the war in ukraine be ended, and what methods are on the agenda of european diplomats, how do they see it ending ? is this a complete victory for kyiv and also

the restoration of the situation on occupied territories, or vice versa, should we cede part of the territory, of course we do not know, we know that ukraine's position is to win back all of its territory , we know that nato, the european union, which are partners with the usa, support this position of ukraine. we also know that the ukrainians of ukraine will accept it decision and that is why they are waging this war and in fact within such parameters . of his imperial desire to conquer ukraine and in general to end his political control, and for countries outside of ukraine, this is the post of the soviet countries, and what i think is most important to

protect now is the victory of ukraine on the battlefield or on the anti-corruption front, i think that ukraine understands that if ukrainians want to live free in ukraine needs to end this war. that's why it is necessary to remember this, this does not mean that ukrainians cannot now fight other problems and achieve other goals, but the highest priority now is to defeat the invaders and destroy the russians in ukraine putin, once again, is to establish effective political control over the territory east of the dnieper, and now

it is in the interests of ukraine to stop him from doing this and to establish complete control and preserve the sovereignty of ukraine, particularly within the borders. i think everyone understands this. do you think how are you convinced that ukraine will be able to finish winning this war by the end of 2023, because experts say differently. i am convinced that if the usa and its allies send ukraine everything it needs now, ukraine will completely win the russians in the east and will at least cut off supplies to crimea, i.e. only water can be supplied there if ukraine can separate donbas from supplies to russia , accordingly, russia will not have the opportunity to supply militarily and have the same influence on

civilians, particularly in crimea, so it will be very expensive for them and i doubt that russia will want to keep control over crimea , let's say that ukraine has already liberated crimea, will it stop putin, because we heard that the russians want to mobilize more than soldiers, and of course they are now looking for new ways to it would be possible to find additional weapons from other so-called allies, the first thing i want to say is that really if i was talking about crimea , it will be difficult for the russians to control the cream. i did not mean that crimea will be liberated. putin has several big problems, one big problem

is that he is not capable of military plan to achieve his military goals, which included political control of ukraine, accordingly, he renounces these goals and objectives. we also understand that their military structure is corrupt and unprofessional, they massively the russian people are spreading their propaganda, they do not believe that they are now engaged in a war for the survival of russia itself, they do not believe in it, that is, the scenario is repeating itself, the scenario of germany in the 40s of the last century , hundreds of thousands of men left russia for that last fall, in order not to to get into a war, so it turns out that putin has limited human resources and also partly thanks to sanctions and partly thanks to

the military aid of the west ukraine ukrainian armed forces have strengthened and therefore now it is very difficult for russia to use traditional means of struggle ukraine and that is why he does not want to give up his goals but in the end if us support continues at the level it is now putin will lose the war in ukraine if we give ukraine if we were stronger and bolder and give ukraine what it really asks for indeed, the victory of ukraine would be possible already this year, but in fact our government is acting too cautiously. john gerb, director of the eurasian center of the atlantic council of the united states and former us ambassador to

ukraine, was a guest of spotlight ukraine. watch the ukrainian version of the program, the team will not surprise me with anything, but i was mistaken. all the creativity of the kremlin. this week, the russian media spread nonsense about the whitewashing of putin and ukrainian weapons that should come from the west, and moreover , they used their traditional strike, the nuclear threat, this is the effect of a check that we do and together with our fake partners, watch carefully. this is very interesting. ukraine refuses to create a protective zone around the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant . russia has launched a new disinformation campaign. the kremlin media claim that ukraine is allegedly not ready to implement the initiative of the iaea, which would prevent an attack from the territory of the power plant, and against it in september, the general director of the iaea initiated the creation of a protective zone around the zaporizhzhia npp. this proposal, which prevented the destruction

of the plant, has not yet been implemented. unfortunately, ukraine is not ready for this, the security situation at the castle escalated and became critical last year in august, when the kremlin military set up firing points at the nuclear plant and began to use the stations for combat operations and shelling of ukrainian positions. i urge withdraw any troops and equipment from the plant and avoid further deployment of forces or equipment at the site, the facility cannot be used as part of any military operation, instead , an urgent agreement at the technical level on a safe demilitarization perimeter is needed to ensure the security of the territory of ukraine, on the contrary , it is mine all the efforts of the international community to demilitarize the captured nuclear power plant, while

russia does not stop illegal actions at the station , in particular, constant attacks on the nuclear facility, the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine does not believe in the supply of western planes for the armed forces, the russian media manipulate the quote of the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, about the supply of western weapons to the ukrainian army , dmytro kuleba no longer believes in the supply of western planes, the head of the ukrainian foreign ministry complains to the europeans about all kinds of difficulties and lack of time, and the russian media manipulate a fragment of the minister's interview with the german to the publication bil tam-zon so the journalist noted that the issue of supplying ukraine with modern combat aircraft has not yet been resolved , at the same time kuleba emphasized that ukraine i am convinced of the future transfer of western fighter jets to counter russian

aggression. i am sure that the planes will be transferred, but i am also sure that this will not happen in the near future . did not waste time on training pilots, when germany joins the countries that have already declared their readiness to train our pilots, this will be a clear signal of political commitment and published only the news about the fact that kyiv allegedly does not believe in the supply of western fighter jets for the armed forces of ukraine biden at a closed meeting with congressmen recognized putin's invincibility russian media propaganda groups in social networks on websites and in telegram channels distributed an audio recording that they tried to pass off as a leak from the closed meeting of american president biden with

us congressmen i was wrong about him, he is truly a patriot of his country . he is not interested in money . he only needs a strong russia. we will not be able to defeat him. the content does not sound like the voice of president joseph biden, but his primitive imitation, the column project offered to listen to the recording to several americans , and all of them said with confidence that english is not a native language for the person who speaks it. they are trying to pass it off as biden, in addition, numerous public statements of biden also contradict the content of zliv, in particular in in one of the interviews, the american president said that he considers putin a murderer, you are watching the ukrainian version of athlete ukraine and now we will deal with russian fakes that circled around during the last week and we will hump together with our partners from stopface ruslan deynychenko executive editor stafffake now on the line

good evening congratulations personally i think that some last period may be a few weeks may be a month er russian propaganda is constantly trying to increase the number fakes and for this use an increasing number of media or bloggers, am i right in that or will i say absolutely right now? and we are also observing this. we remember that a few months ago when the facebook company began to purge all these pro-russian bloggers from facebook, they immediately began to call on their readers to go to telegram, now they are all returning and we see that they are creating dozens of hundreds of channels and again uploading videos, producing millions of videos every day they drag on facebook, we see that the amount of misinformation

produced by this machine is increasing, and i believe that this is because there are no victories in the russian army on the battlefield, and that is why they are trying to create such uh in imaginary victories on facebook, youtube and social networks, uh, did you talk about telegram channels , do we have a state strategy that would be able to fight this disinformation, are there any works being carried out, or is this solely an initiative , such as a stop-fake? well, i can’t say what by telegram everything is fine with us and we believe that now telegram has turned into the number one platform for the spread of hostile disinformation and propaganda so we are a little surprised that the ukrainian authorities are driving

ukrainians into telegram too. almost all of them are informational the messages spread by ukrainian government officials, she spreads through telegram, instead she could use more civilized platforms that are cleaner from russian disinformation and propaganda, and well, i would think in the place of the ukrainian authorities to somehow put pressure on telegram so that they would engage at least some kind of moderation so that there is not so much falsehood and misinformation, and telegram does not do this, unlike facebook , unlike youtube, which invests significant resources in creating these platforms free from, or at least cleaner

than , e.e., propaganda disinformation, let’s go back to those cases and fakes e, which we talked about in the previous story, why does russian propaganda constantly whitewash putin and make him simply invincible, and who is the main consumer of this fake, well, the main consumer is, of course, the russian people - and this has not been done for the last few months, but in general, this entire propaganda machine was created in order to create a deity out of putin, putin in the imagination of russians, he cannot be wrong, he cannot, he cannot not win putin is always a victory, this is what russian propaganda convinces and tries to convince, first of all, of russian citizens, and putin is very afraid of defeat. in fact , remember even the story about crimea. russia denied its involvement for a whole year that its troops organized all this illegal annexation. and only because the year when putin was convinced that he would be able to sell it to his own population as a victory, only then did putin admit that he planned everything and

invented everything with donbas for eight long years , the russians did not admit that it was us again behind all that history behind all these horrors because putin could not hang a medal on his chest for this, he could not sell that this is a victory, that this is his some kind of achievement , that is why russia - this is a cover-up putin advised putin never loses, this is clear to the domestic russian audience but does he have a sufficient number of supporters abroad in western countries who still sympathize with the president of the russian federation ? well, it seems to me that ukraine and, above all , the armed forces of ukraine have done a lot to ensure that such supporters remain at all little and actually it was one of the biggest i think putin's mistakes is that he took responsibility for this special operation because he was 100% sure that it would be successful, it would pass in three days and he

would be able to hang a medal on himself and record his name with golden letters in the textbook, but the ukrainian army and ukrainian society have made it so that the whole world is now laughing at putin's ambitions, and this myth about putin's invincibility and about the second russian army in the world is simply dispersed, no one believes in it anymore, the second army from the end, how often do ukrainians joke , we come back a little to every week, we mention fakes and myths about the nuclear threat again zaporizhzhia nuclear plant again , ukrainians allegedly do not allow international observers there, who is this fake intended for? it seems to me that first of all to the european citizen and to the european governments er why because every time we

see when rammstein gathers or in any other city our partners gather and er want to provide us with some the next batch of weapons of financial military support is pulled out either by medvedev with some nuclear horror stories or such fakes about the nuclear threat, this affects western societies, they are afraid that this conflict will turn into either an exchange of nuclear strikes or that there will be some nuclear disaster that will directly threaten their lives europeans, perhaps the kremlin is counting on the fact that the europeans will say, well, god be with her, with this ukraine. let's give putin what he wants, as long as there is no nuclear disaster, nuclear disaster, ah, about the emotional state of ukrainians during the war, you probably, like

me and millions of ukrainians, know from our own experience, however, how emotional our fears and insecurities are, because our victory will be very soon, is an important goal of russian propaganda why do they constantly hit there, well actually in order to shake society so that we lose hope and confidence in our victory in order to demotivate our e-e soldiers who are at the front in order to demotivate volunteers who they help the army who help the displaced people ah again everything that weakens ukrainian society is all working for russia the weaker ukrainian society is the weaker our resistance the easier it will be for putin and the kremlin to achieve some kind of result and victory well of course we

we don't believe that. we only believe in the victory of ukraine. it's true, but i advised that ukrainians are tired of the war. this is an internal narrative. is this a narrative that russian propaganda is trying to impose on us? there are some lines, maybe there is a gap, what potential conflicts and it hits the most painful points, so again, you don't need to evaluate or underestimate russian propagandists , but they ate the dog on this and that's why they work competent professionally and we should be the same strong literate and media literate in order not to fall under these influences. by the way , media literacy is thanks to the fake news thanks to spotlight ukraine. i thought that ukrainians already had a vaccine against russian propaganda, is it possible

that there are certain sections of the population who they can trust the russian sand well, of course we have to forget that even the coronavirus had to be vaccinated several times now there is no magic wand that can protect us from the effects of propaganda especially since propaganda is also improving , so russian propaganda is not so pro-russian anymore - after all, they create such ukrainian patriotic channels of the public group, but we see that even the same pro-russian bloggers, but they are trying to reach ukrainians in this way but first there will be many videos where a dead russian woman is destroyed by tanks and russians, and then again and again they will throw in one video, then another video, then one fake, then another fake, that is, they work competently and professionally . they have time, they have inspiration, and that's why

you have to be careful and you have to a-a well, to counteract such efforts and you have to definitely watch the fake check together with our partners stopfake , then we will wait for a booster dose in exactly a week ruslan daynychenko executive editor of stafeik was a guest spat let it ukraine in the ukrainian version, there is much more interesting, stay tuned. what in the world this week and how these events will affect ukraine, our international columnist yuriy fizer knows . ukraine will receive many leopards. ukraine ukrainian version my name is yuriy fizer and i am starting more than 150 german leopard tanks will give ukraine nine countries of the world this was said by the secretary of defense of the united states of america lloyd austin according to the words of the head of the american department of defense

about the formation of more than nine armored brigades, the head of the pentagon also added that the number of countries that transfer tanks and air defense equipment to ukraine continues to grow, i would like to remind you that the 10th meeting in the rammstein format this time took place online. the aggressor was told by the president of the united states of america, joe biden, the prime minister of great britain, rishi sunok, and the prime minister of australia, anthony albane , during a meeting in the american san diego the state of california, the leaders of the three countries agreed to continue providing ukraine with all the necessary military, economic and humanitarian support . well, the prime minister of great britain summed up their meeting in an interview with the american television channel nbc . support

for ukraine i say this because now, if the ukrainians are helped correctly, they have the opportunity to gain a decisive advantage on the battlefield, that is why we decided to give them more opportunities, tanks, missiles of a larger the range is more air defense. that is, we just want to do everything possible so that ukraine can win. well, more international news in our digest. the parliament of turkey has started the process of ratifying finland's application to join nato. at the press conference following the meeting with his finnish counterpart , the turkish leader stressed that he had seen the decisive steps taken by the official helsinki to fulfill all its obligations to join the north atlantic alliance dozens victims and more than 200 detainees, this is how the protest in paris against the pension reform project , which the french government intends to implement

, ended on thursday evening. clashes broke out between protesters and the police . law enforcement officers had to use tear gas and water cannons. a radical part of the protesters began to erect barricades, smash shop windows and set fire similar protests took place in many large french cities the day before, the president of the series, bashar asa , quite predictably and expectedly expressed full support for russia's aggressive war in ukraine, which he also predictably called an ied, mr. assad said about this during a meeting with the president of the terrorist country , vladimir putin, in moscow, while the syrian leader called it a fight against old and new nazis , belarus and iran concluded an agreement on comprehensive cooperation until 2026. it was signed by the self-proclaimed president oleksandr lukashenko, who arrived on a visit to tehran , and the president of the islamic republic, ebrahim

raisi. the agreement provides for cooperation in various in the fields of political, economic, consular and scientific and technical, about the military, it is not known that the moldovan opposition is connected with russia and wants to destabilize the situation in the country and start a war , the president of moldova, sanda, said about this on friday during an address to the parliament, in particular, she blamed representatives of the pro-russian of the political and businessman shore party and lena shore, mrs. sandu also instructed the government to better fight against russian propaganda and to develop a national security strategy, which according to the president in the country for a long time, but i continue. do not anger the cleaners in paris, they announced a strike on the seventh of march and still the streets of the city are littered with thousands of tons of garbage, even in the neighborhoods near the

eiffel tower. from 57 to 59 years, the parisian cleaners did not agree with this and tried to convince the authorities to change their intention with huge piles of smelly garbage on the streets of the most beautiful capital in the world. cotton and fire in russia another fire in russia burned in russian rostov-on-don, in particular, the building of the border management of the fsb, eyewitnesses claim that before that they heard explosions above the building, a tall column of thick black smoke was visible, according to preliminary data, the cause of the fire was an explosion at the warehouse of the border management for extinguishing the fire involved dozens of firefighters and a lot of fire equipment , the most interesting thing is that the fsb later explained that the ignition happened due to a simple short-circuit this time they didn't even say that someone
