[000:00:00;00] or military experts, everyone said that kyiv would fall in a matter of days, and we can see what happened, and indeed they lost 165,000 soldiers. that is, this is an extremely large number, not to mention the wounded, that is , in fact, all the young officers died on the territory of ukraine. now they lack leadership, they lack a leader of leaders, and therefore the advantage in this aspect is really on the side of ukraine, i will not make any predictions, but really the ukrainian military they have every chance to destroy the russian occupiers, and with regard to the russian operation , they have little chance of success. therefore, us officials say that russia is preparing for

the next one. and it is possible that they will need a week or months. how big is this threat ? of course, they hitler also planned his attacks in april 1945 year, but reality is reality, we understand that russia now has what kind of power in the framework of human resources, within the framework of e-e with weapons, and therefore it is clear that they will continue to plan , but from a strategic point of view, they do not have the power that could give them a chance for success, and again, from the point of view of defense, the ukrainian armed forces justify themselves perfectly, they feel supported by the solidarity of the collective action, they receive intelligence data, and in fact we see that the ukrainian army has become much stronger than it was in the past

year, unfortunately because of that, fortunately, because the russian army was led by bad commanders, because of this , it failed, that is, their army is not an army, it is not an army of professionals, otherwise they would not have behaved like that, so we can assume that they the russians are dying out, the russian military and they are only behaving worse and worse, that's why we are now really waiting for the ukrainians to drive out the russian aggressors and stop this war and we will win in 2024. thank you for finding time for us rice day with the president of an american university in kyiv, a military expert was with us today, thank you. this week, the minister of foreign affairs of estonia urmas rein salo visited kyiv with the aim of discussing the road map of ukraine's path to nato before the summit in vilnius and

synchronizing the urgent needs of the official in kyiv, before the spring counteroffensive , i spoke with the minister at the estonian embassy in kyiv to discuss the global politics of the war issue and to hear estonia's advice on the russian issue. thank you for finding a little time for us for the spotlight ukraine program, nice to meet you volodymyr if we talk about military aid and what can happen on the battlefield, when do you think these supplies of western weapons will be enough? only in order to stop the russian army, but also in order to deliver the final blow to it when russia loses and ukraine wins, many countries have done a lot, but these weapons are still not enough, i constantly talked about the fact that we need to change the paradigm of military support for ukraine, that we should invest in her

victory and not just help her not lose on the battlefield that is why i believe that the level of assistance with weapons and ammunition should increase including long-range missiles fighters and all other conventional weapons maybe some western politicians are afraid that this can be interpreted as steps that can lead to escalation, but they are wrong , because russia is already using its entire arsenal of weapons against ukraine. let's talk about putin , his legitimacy . the practical consequences of such a decision of the international criminal court are in the air because , for example, the united states does not recognize its jurisdiction and, as president biden said, such

a decision limited international recognition, so what consequences, the results may be different, firstly, this decision greatly limited putin's physical maneuvering, secondly, it seems to me that due to this arrest warrant, putin is also losing certain leverage within russia, and thirdly, i hope that this statement that an international legal body alone is trying to catch putin in a certain way encourages the world community to continue working on the project of creating an international tribunal that would investigate russian war crimes, so i really hope that we managed to reach people, let's talk the international situation these days, the chinese leader was in moscow, but there have been no official statements yet. do you think that putin manages to find a reliable partner in sidinping ? i hope not, but china's position during

this war, china is a permanent member of the security council of the united nations of nations is completely unacceptable, this position is ambivalent. and if we also look at the rhetoric, then china will support russia. in addition , we also remember putin's visit to heaven a few days before the start of this war and the joint declaration that can be called asking for permission to start a war, but i do not think that china alone will speak in public about its support for russia, because china is also thinking about its own reputation and this reputation can also suffer greatly, therefore all reports that china can supply russia with weapons in large quantities are very are alarming, and i believe that the western community should send a clear signal to beijing that if the leadership of the celestial empire

does this, it should be paid for. the full version of the interview is available on our youtube channel espresso atv spotlight ukraine thank you for sharing it and don't hesitate to comment on the video on social networks, enjoy watching in russia, something went wrong again on one of the propaganda shows , the so-called expert couldn't stand the outright lies and fainted on the live broadcast, watch everything , but if you use dictionary of kremlin propaganda, he did not faint, he stood up negatively or even boldly liquidated the floor himself welcome to the fake check where we make

russian propaganda unconscious together with our partners with stopfake and today my guest, who we will destroy the russian myths of russian propaganda, is oleksandr zamkovoy, he is a fact checker with stopfake , mr. oleksandr, congratulations, congratulations. so, we have collected the most interesting cases of russian propaganda in the last week and we will discuss them one by one. the media report that the un has confirmed the alleged war crimes of the kyiv regime in ukraine, and kremlin propagandists allegedly refer to the report of an independent international investigator commission on ukraine, what is true in this, and what is fake in this, let's first look at the investigation, the un commission published a report that actually recognizes a number of war crimes committed by the fighters of the kyiv regime during the armed conflict in ukraine , the russian edition of the military review, among

other kremlin media, published this news, the authors allegedly cite of the un report on war crimes in ukraine, this document really exists, it was published on march 16, however , the main conclusion was somewhat different, the russian authorities committed a number of violations of international legislation on human rights and international humanitarian law in various regions of ukraine, many of the violations are war crimes , in particular, the un estimated that the russian attacks on the energy infrastructure of ukraine damaged because it destroyed thousands of residential buildings, price drops were recognized as war crimes, this also applies to cases that gained wide publicity, such as the attack 16 march 2022 attack committed during the siege of mariupol in the city drama theater, resulting in the death and

injury of a large number of people 8 on april 2022 at the kramatorsk railway station, as a result of which 59 people were killed and 92 injured, as well as the attack on the shopping center in kremenchuk on june 27, 2022, which left behind 21 people killed and dozens of wounded. as for ukraine , the commission found cases when the ukrainian armed forces probably used cluster munitions in izyum in kharkiv oblast from march to september, when the city was controlled by the russian armed forces, the commission documented a small number of violations committed by ukrainian by the armed forces, including alleged non-selective attacks t2 incidents that qualify as war crimes when russian prisoners of war were shot, wounded and tortured according to the results of the first report, the un commission recommended the russian federation to immediately stop aggression and all acts of violence against the civilian population why

the russian audience trusts such a fake e-e instead of just going and checking the real un report on these issues, let's go. well, you know this is a global issue in general. why does the russian audience believe in the russian propaganda when we live in a digital society and there are many open sources of information and the same youtube in russia is not blocked, you can watch different let's put it this way arguments and points of view i think it's still a desire to justify one's actions actions of one's own state and simply unwillingness to see real war crimes, russian propaganda plays a big role in this. they know the psychology of the russians, and that is why it is presented with facts that christians are able to digest. let's say, for example, this report of the independent international commission of the un one exactly so what well, only ukrainian war crimes were recognized and the pro-russian ones allegedly did not say anything, this is a typical russian manipulation

when they simply from reports that were even published before february 24, there were published un reports on the situation with human rights in occupied crimea , for example, they threw out whole passages from there about how the rights of the crimean tatars are being violated over the journalists detained there, and well, in principle hm. let's say that the place of the population present was simply not considered, but instead they said that ukraine is keeping crimea in blockades and er and somehow there well, there were other facts there, for example, which from the russian point of view proved that ukraine does not allow crimea to develop normally there, the situation with this report is the same despite the fact that there is indeed a documented, well, documented destruction of the dram-

tra n upoli e-e missile attack on the well of the blood flow group yes, russia only e-e these paragraphs where it is supposed to show that ukraine behaved badly with russian prisoners of war and well there they tortured russian soldiers and everything else well , it just doesn’t get to the russian audience about the acquittal of the russian army, the following case is because russian users of the social network, the so-called opinion leaders, claim that the international criminal court has already acquitted the russian army, apparently. ukrainian children, but what is the connection between this? let's look at our next story and discuss the russian army was acquitted in the hague. putin had nothing to blame

except the deportation of the children, this was reported by several the russian mass media drew a conclusion from the court decision regarding putin's suspicion of only one war crime, the illegal deportation of children, that is, according to the russians, the illegal transfer of children is the only thing russia is accused of, however , according to dmitry koval, an expert of the human rights organization via helms, to whom stop-face asked for clarification the issued warrant does not mean that the court did not see other crimes of the russian army in ukraine , the international criminal court is not the court that will deal with dozens of cases in one specific country, it should choose several the highest priorities and move on them - says koval, according to kovel, the international criminal court may in the future open other cases related to ukraine, but for this, certain circumstances are required. the army

again about the fact that russia does not want to recognize other military war crimes and manipulates the conclusions of international documents, saying that well, you see only its one and only argument grasped the international grasped a criminal court in order to condemn russian aggression and supposedly no more, it is actually an interesting fact that they say that only the international criminal court is in the actions of the russian authorities and saw this deportation of ukrainian children from the occupied territories. in fact, this is the report of the un international commission about which we they said in the first story he also prescribes this war crime war crime sorry about the deportation of children and in his conclusions he also says that russia should stop such actions and this was

completely ignored but already when the international criminal court literally two or three days after that report, he still issued an arrest warrant for putin, they were very excited. well, really, in the context of the fact that russia is now trying very hard to push its own diplomacy, this is, in principle, the only powerful lobby that it has all that remained was that she would like putin to travel to different countries, attend some international event and show that there is some international coalition against him now because of the decision of the international criminal court. which includes more than 100 yes of the roman statute decisions. which yes admits that putin simply cannot now, in principle, travel to half of the world, and well, to a very significant number of important countries, including asian and central asian countries, so this is a big

problem for russian propaganda, including well and in principle, the fact that europe and the world took such a step and made such accusations against the president of the current president of the country speaks of the fact that the world community is not even afraid to rush to such measures, thank you, one more case we are talking about poland, the actions of the poles only contribute to the destruction of the armed forces of ukraine, and this russian fake is also the influence of this week, why poland has again become a target for manipulation by the kremlin, further in sport life ukraine, and then we will discuss the supply of ukrainian fighter jets by nato countries, in particular to poland, will not affect the outcome of the conflict however, will lead to inevitable losses among ukrainian pilots , this was stated by a retired us marine corps intelligence officer from which twitter

russian content citing family claim that revealed poland's plan to destroy the ukrainian military in russia or to destroy ukrainian soldiers, in fact, there is no polish plan to destroy ukrainian soldiers, on the contrary, poland is one of ukraine's main partners in providing military aid and training ukrainian fighters, it was poland that was one of the first to announce its readiness to provide ukraine with german leopard-2 tanks, which are in service with it , as well as mig-29 combat aircraft, in addition, poland announced its intention to carry out monthly military training of two battalions of armed forces of ukraine, the scooter is actually a former us intelligence officer who served in the 1980s, later in 1991-1998 trider worked as a un and weapons inspector in iraq, but then the former intelligence officer was accused of pedophilia, he was twice caught trying to arrange dates with underage

girls with whom he met on the internet after russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine, ritter accused ukraine of the murders in buch, called biden a war criminal, claimed that poland intends to attack ukraine and occupy its western oblast, once again kremlin propaganda claims that poland allegedly has some kind of secret plan to destroy the armed forces of ukraine, is this propaganda machine trying to push the foreheads of two nations that are cooperating more closely than ever in the last 100 years of modern history? well they are constantly trying to do this, and this statement is, in principle, in line with this propaganda in english of such an imaginary er-er imaginary narrative that poland will allegedly try to occupy some parts of ukraine and in general

pursues some useful goal by helping ukraine, although in fact a few days ago we were also the moravian prime minister of poland . he once again confirmed in his own words the main thesis that it is very important for poland to help ukraine. precisely because it would otherwise face russian aggression directly and that is why she is interested in helping ukraine, moreover, mr. moravetskyi seems to have said that if ukraine is unable to resist, then poland will be the next to enter the fight. of our military partners, it has already provided military aid more than 30 times , this is a few officially, and russian propaganda constantly claims that this military aid will not help ukraine in any way and will only lead to losses, this was

also stated by sand on the press conferences from which, as one of the kremlin propagandists who are, uh, are in the west, he simply repeats the same theses, and we have been following this propagandist for a very long time . he has been giving comments to rasha since 2019, in principle, and since february 24 after of a full-scale invasion. he made a lot of loud statements about the fact that, once again, ukraine would not hold back for more than a week, then he promised that the russian army would take mariupol in three days, uh, days , then i 'll say a lot. propaganda is trying to say what it tells about the dismemberment of ukraine poland is allegedly trying to seize the western part there romania chernivtsi oblast transcarpathia some issues with hungary who

narrated here who is being promoted by the russians russia was very actively speculating on these, and in the fall, they even said that, for example, poland was trying to help us rebuild one of the power grids, and they said that this was allegedly already a loss of sovereignty and that poland was simply taking the ukrainian energy system for itself, then we had it in the national bank, there was an e- there was a project to store certain data there, too, together with polish programmers, it was done , well, in order to protect security, yes , and it was presented in the form of the fact that, in principle , the national bank was also under polish control, and any there any

cooperation and assistance to volunteers in poland and the provision of humanitarian aid, she looked at it under the pretext that it was only so that poland would have a springboard for an offensive in the lviv region of volyn and ukraine would be torn to shreds uh, of course, well, you know, this goes very far with the a loud standard that russia is also simultaneously asking about the fact that thousands of polish mercenaries are allegedly fighting in the donbas in our country, and several cases were also considered there. well, it turns out that, in principle, poland allegedly sends its soldiers to die for ukraine, and in parallel i am carrying out the plans of ukraine, well, it is necessary to nexus well, somehow it does not work, you know, it does not in any way affect our good neighborly relations with the poles and a huge thanks for what they are doing now for our now joint victory, it is true of course, again, what allegedly confirms that ukraine

is an artificial artificial state that was created from different regions and they can also reformat such news . oleksandr castle effect checker from stovfake was a guest today our section called fake check see you next week thank you what in the world this week how these events will affect ukraine our international columnist yuriy fizer knows for sure yuriy the words to you not just a visit the world of xinping to russia and his meeting with the president of the aggressor country and vladimir putin lived this week, the world was different, my name is yuri fizer , and i start for life, so the duration of the

arrest warrant that was issued by the international criminal court in the netherlands commented the prosecutor of this institution, karim khan. he said this in an interview with the british radio station bbc radio 4. according to him, this decision will apply even after the end of the russian war in ukraine. court. people, wherever they are , should recognize that there is a law and that with power comes responsibility, but in russia , the decision of the international criminal court in the hague was called illegal, this is reported in according to the message published on the website of the investigative committee of the russian federation, in particular, russian investigators believe that putin and the russian children's ombudsman are completely innocent, and therefore there are no grounds for making such a decision, in addition , they emphasized that putin generally has

immunity like the president and that this should not be to complete russian prosecutors have opened criminal proceedings against the prosecutor of the international criminal court karim khan and several other judges who are involved in the issuance of a warrant for putin's arrest, see carefully into the sky dmitry medvedev, who did manage to sit in the chair of the president of the russian federation at least once between the two two-year terms of vladimir putin , threatened to launch a rocket attack on the building of the international criminal court in gas , according to the official, he can well imagine the point use of hypersonic missiles on the iss well, a nato country on his opinion will not dare to respond to a nuclear state. as the folk art says, fools think rich. well, more international news

cannot be given to russia in our digest the opportunity to rest at the front, at the slightest opportunity, the aggressor country will regroup its forces and attack ukraine again, this is what us secretary of state anthony blinken believes . he adds that the united states seeks stable peace on the territory of ukraine, and ukrainians seek it even more, because they are the ones who suffer from russian aggression every day however, at the moment there are no signs that putin is ready for meaningful diplomacy to end the war , he still wants to include ukraine in the russian empire, blinken emphasizes the european union should not loosen sanctions against russia, the prime minister of estonia kayakaos is convinced of this. she made such a statement at the eu summit in brussels, according to the estonian prime minister , the g7 leaders should continue to limit the prices of russian oil, but now the issue of circumventing russian sanctions is no less important federation, because the aggressor country finds various loopholes, explains what drug we know

, russia began to earn less from oil, so we see that economic sanctions, including restrictions on oil prices, affect the russian the economy, and therefore its ability to fuel the military machine, and this means that we must continue this process. the shells with modified uranium that great britain decided to give to the ukrainian armed forces do not represent a nuclear threat, said the minister of foreign affairs of the united kingdom , james cleverley, and he commented on the statements that were heard from the side of moscow that such a move by london could lead to nuclear escalation , according to the head of the british foreign office, the only country in the world that talks about nuclear threats and even this threatens russia itself, but now there is no threat to itself and to its citizens. because it is only about helping ukraine to defend itself effectively . oleksandr lukashenko, the self-proclaimed president of belarus, knows exactly how

russia can respond to this and not only does he know, but which ones he always tells during a visit to a hut that the nazis burned to the ground during the second world war, he said that russia will supply us with ammunition with real uranium. it is dangerous, therefore, from the insanity, you need to step aside a little and then, as only these ammunition will explode on the positions of the russian troops, you will see the answer will be terrible for the whole planet, the lesson will be dostoevsky, tchaikovsky remain part of european culture, and russia, whether someone likes it or not, remains our closest neighbor he made such a statement according to the minister of foreign affairs of austria, alexander schalenberg, you should not even think about the fact that russia will no longer exist and that

europe will be able to finally break with it. he called the vision illusory, at the same time the head of the austrian foreign policy department emphasized that the government of his country opposes the introduction of new anti-russian sanctions. and at the end of this year, the traditional earth hour without russia , the world nature fund informed moscow about this in time. well, the reason is incredible at first glance, russian the management included the fund in the list of foreign agents, so its management decided to deprive moscow of the opportunity to join the symbolic action well , it took place as always on the last saturday march 25 this year at 8:30 p.m. local time in all countries. of course, except for russia, i will remind you that during this hour , people are urged to turn off all unnecessary lighting. well, that's all for today in my part of spotlight ukraine, the ukrainian version of next week is obvious i will be
