[000:00:00;00] to work with the same methods, the river batteries in this solar power, which today are being brought to the bakhmut, what kind of weapon is it, why are western analysts paying attention to it? and actually, is it a training, we will answer, we will definitely destroy this weapon, it was destroyed in large numbers, it was destroyed before and will be destroyed now by point strikes, definitely there is usually a special hunt for such types of ammunition that cause such destructive, extremely destructive for people and for the surroundings of the explosions. i think it will continue in order to destroy and in principle well, i wish you to say the following thermobarically, they pulled up their weapons in the same way under severodonetsk when they were advancing near lysichansk, then later they pulled up their terminator armored vehicles , they threw everything that was left, i won’t say that this somehow changes the course of the war, this weapon is

really very threatening, but as experience shows , our defense forces have learned it to whistle and destroy the point of mr. oleksandr, they mentioned at the beginning that maryinka avdiivka and bakhmuttsia are three cities where a continues to advance the russian army, why exactly these three settlements a is there a connection between they are a strategic military force, what opportunities do they open up for the occupiers, where else can they advance, they have kept some pace , they are continuing. in fact, if you look even with the battles of last week, the intensity and you can see that the enemy is exhausted, the intensity of the fighting is beginning to decrease in some areas. - and even before the enemy's resources and forces are exhausted, they are still quite noticeable, this is confirmed by the information, uh, well , the sources are completely different, and we see that,

for example, we already mention less about the lyman direction is correct, although just a week or two ago there were quite hot battles there and there were threats of enemy breakthroughs, there were no threats of enemy breakthroughs on beligorivka, but they are blocked for today, there are three directions left, this is maryinka avdiivka bakhmut, along which the enemy is advancing, well, that is, russian troops are advancing along these lines, they have achieved a year for this year of offensive actions, that is , they have achieved minor tactical successes, i do not think that they will achieve any immediate results, judging by the fact that in these two months of intense gods of transferring reinforcements with a huge amount of weapons and huge resources. well, i hardly think they will have any operational or strategic successes. according to the results of yesterday's visit of the president of ukraine to poland, we have the news that ukraine has agreed with poland on the joint production of 125 mm tank shells about what are the volumes and terms and how quickly can it strengthen the ukrainian army i

do not know i do not know about the volumes that are being discussed and what i think is the biggest probably i hope this is the shortest period and this is what i can only hope for. i think the same as all of us, and as for this agreement in general, it is important because it is necessary to understand that this is a potential exit for ukrainian defense industry manufacturers, there are warehouses, it is very difficult to get to the markets in fact, the fact that similar agreements are being reached with poland or the czech republic, i ultimately consider this to be a breakthrough, and in addition, we need to understand that we not only have to call on our partners to increase the production of ice cream, but also to participate in the production that's why i welcome such an initiative, ukraine is also joining in order to speed up and increase the amount of ammunition needed for us, i am sure that no one will delay with this today, he also told the local publication that poland cannot transfer the f6 but

will lobby for the f-16 as well. i apologize, but will lobby for the provision fighters by other countries, what does this mean in practice and what will the results be ? well, i think that poland. i want to use the example they gave to the tank coalition. i want to remind you that poland but poland announced the transfer of leopard 2 tanks for the first time that they are ready simply with machine tools, they were ready with airplanes, the situation is a bit more difficult because if they transfer theirs to us at 16 , well, they themselves will have gaps in defense from the sky because they could and will transfer them later even at 16, but to say that they are ready and they have demonstrated a good example and that there is no need to be wary and afraid of giving ukraine airplanes that ukraine needs very much and needs very much for a counteroffensive and not only for a counteroffensive. i think that this is what they will do in the end

good because the more votes there will be, the more appeals there will be, the more pressure there will be in a good sense, the faster we will be able to achieve these goals for transmission in ukraine f16 i thank you for joining the broadcast oleksandr mosienko, head of the center for human legal research, was with us by means of communication , the president of france, manuel macron, called on the leader of china to bring russia to its senses and help end the war in ukraine, and earlier the media, with reference to the elysée palace, wrote that the french side believes that in view of the close ties with russia, it is china that can be the country that can change the rules of the game in the context of the war in ukraine.

in ukraine will be important for relations with the european union . our correspondent zoryana stepanenko is also monitoring the meetings of european leaders in china. zoryana, i congratulate you. please tell me what you know . zoryana. i'm sorry, we cannot hear you. i hope that now we will be able to eliminate this technical malfunction, but for now, let me remind you that yesterday the president of france and macron arrived in beijing, and the president of the european commission went with him to the fund , but before they went there, the french presidents and the president of the european commission visited there as well as the spanish prime minister and chancellor of germany, according to the results of their visits , there were no special results, no noticeable results in what was announced. on the agenda

of their meetings, this is the russian-ukrainian the war, as well as the resolution of economic relations and the restart of trade relations zoryana stepanenko, uh, with us again in direct communication with brussels, we hope that now everything will be fine, see you soon. greetings , daria. you know that western leaders are in the same way among them, by the way there was also emmanuel macron, they went to moscow before the full-scale invasion, trying then to convince vladimir putin to change his decision. combining them with the efforts of the head of the european commission, who accompanied him on his chinese tour, the western world is alarmed that china may intervene in the war against ukraine by providing

military aid to russia, so they brought a message to the leader of the people's republic of china. or indirectly, otherwise they noted that this would greatly harm china's relations with the european union , european leaders persuaded the asian country to intervene in another way to persuade russia to stop its aggression against ukraine russian aggression in ukraine dealt a blow to stability - it ended a decade of peace in europe. i know that i can count on you to bring russia to its senses and everyone to the negotiating table. we need to find a strong peace, that is, a peace that respects internationally recognized borders and avoids any what form of escalation macron spoke about the troubling times of returning to the history of tragedy and noted that europe will not feel safe until the lands of one of the countries on the continent are occupied by another neighboring

country, he said that they really want to complete and quite with respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine in order to ensure stability and in the future frank and constructive negotiations were called friendly and in-depth in the elysée palace, all zimpina actually, you know, his public formulations differed by hardly anything from those we heard before, well, not, for example, instead of war and condemnation of russia's actions. he spoke about the ukrainian crisis - this is a quote that he repeated several times . power plants well, at the same time, he did not elaborate. and who can be behind all this? he called for the earliest possible peace negotiations to cease fire, and the chinese state media , with one quote from him, described china's policy towards ukraine to promote peace and dialogue . china is in favor of peace negotiations and seeks

a political solution . china is ready to join the french side in calling on the international community to maintain rational restraint and avoid actions that will further worsen the crisis or even get out of control. a solemn promise that nuclear weapons will not be used and a nuclear war will not be waged, a top ukrainian diplomat said in one of his recent interviews with finansultan that china has not yet decided whether to invest in the peaceful settlement or, on the contrary, to strengthen its support for russia, what will be the contribution to its future policy made a visit of high-ranking guests from the european union. this is still an intrigue. well, you know that the politiko publication wrote today that the position of sisinpin has not changed. there is not even a hint of this , but at the same time he confirmed his readiness to call volodymyr zelensky from

with a warning that he will do it when these conditions are drawn up and the time comes, that is, he did not specify when exactly this will happen. and with macron, he is already writing to reuters in his turn with reference to a diplomatic source, and the french agreed to work hard to speed up the end of the war and the start of negotiations in full compliance with international law. further thank you very much. zoryana stepanenko from brussels was in direct contact with us. well , in response to an english statement from beijing, the kremlin decided to intensify its efforts in the international arena about this it is said in the report of the institute for the study of war, there they show us putin's attempts to justify the importance of russia in relation to which china has recently been devalued. is a reliable partner for moscow well, and also mentioned the success

of cooperation with the association of states in southeast asia, which includes thailand , the philippines, malaysia, indonesia and singapore oleksandr bogomolov, director of the national institute of strategic studies, joins our broadcast mr. oleksandr, can you hear me while there is no connection with mr. oleksandr. and in a few minutes, i hope that we will restore him. well, once again, let me remind you that before macron came to beijing, as i mentioned , the spanish prime minister and the german chancellor have already visited there, but there are no results of their visits mr. oleksandr bogomolov, director of the national institute for strategic studies, mr. oleksandr, can you hear me, evening, good evening, and we hear you and let's see. let's try to communicate. let's hope that today e technology throws up surprises for us that everything will go on without them

. so, let me remind you that the german chancellors and the spanish prime minister have already visited the late macrons. in fact, all of them, in addition to economic issues, tried to convince everyone not to support whether it is weapons or money for putin's war against ukraine well, even better , it was not possible to force the president to make peace with the previous visitors, it did not work very well today with macron today yesterday with macron from funderlein and who in general, can now convince beijing of such actions , no one can be convinced of the situation and the armed forces can be convinced, the armed forces of ukraine can be convinced. it is clear. but what china has stated today is that china agrees with the fact that nuclear weapons should be excluded from the ukrainian conflict, well , at least that is how they formulated it macron's agreements at joint press conferences, everyone simply said that it should not be used, and for whom is this signal? will it be received in moscow, or is it for the west, which fears that russia

may resort to using nuclear weapons yes, he will hear it in moscow, that's for sure, of course, this aggressive rhetoric and periodic threats will interfere, because russia simply has nothing else to threaten except nuclear weapons, and this may eventually lead to tension in relations between russia and china more or china is actually sincere i believe and not only i believe in this regard because china would not want russia to resort to a similar scenario, well , today i am an old weapon and in general, in principle , the nuclear topic is annoying to china, he is absolutely sincere in this regard, there are many there are various reasons why not. the last of them is that china itself is currently building up its nuclear potential at such a fairly accelerated pace, but

now it is not at the level that it is russia that he would like to be stronger, let's say in this regard he does not want the situation to get off the hook and he is also an opponent of the spread of nuclear weapons , that is, he would like it to remain in the club of nuclear states, and russia's provocative behavior actually provokes other states to try to obtain nuclear weapons. and if it in principle, it will become available to too many international players, one of whom, for example, ira e , will not do anything good, not only for the whole world, but i think that purely chinese is enough, such a perspective can be said to be individual chinese, such signals will they hear in moscow or will they hear in the west or will they draw conclusions in the west? because we

hear a lot about fears that moscow may use nuclear weapons in the event , for example, of fighting in ukraine to the fact that well, in general, this is the main factor of predictability, and the only one. well, from the status of russia, as a so-called world power, to which it still claims , actually, only nuclear weapons and places of this are left to the un security council of others russia has no levers of influence on the global situation , russia relied heavily on energy weapons , we see now that it has actually lost its main european market, it simply has nothing else, and if russia is in a crisis situation, it will always be try to guess, but will it affect or not affect the chinese, in principle, if it is not possible

to be 100% sure of this? well, looking at it , what is going on? no or what can be then this moment should accordingly be more confidence of china in the course of events in the situation because now there are many question marks even for us as well. i think that the decisive moment can be for example the successful offensive of ukrainian troops, that is, china, in principle, is watching cautiously at the moment, and even at the diplomatic level there are signals that china is slightly distancing itself from the position of perceiving itself as an ally of russia, there were statements, for example, sending a representative of china to the european union, for the chinese, the situation looks how risky and china , on the one hand, he would not want the defeat of russia

, because he wants to continue to use russia, and russia is increasingly turning into an essentially vassal er vassal state in relation to to china, depending on china, but he does not want it to fall apart, let's say, or to undergo such a deep crisis that there would be security consequences for china itself, because it is a neighboring country, and from another point of view, china assesses the situation adequately enough at the moment and does not think so, that is, he wants e hm to act in such a way as not to take responsibility for any inconvenient turn of events for china he actually has the potential to influence but holds this potential and will and will hold in principle until the last moment going back to the beginning of your answer or

i am right. you are ready to call zelenskiy when he is sure of the victory of ukraine in this war. he will be sure when he is sure of the situation, that is, it would be good for us if, just as i said, the situation returned, this is also one of the possibilities. no matter how the situation ends, he is definitely not an ally of ukraine, if he wants to make fun of the perception of china as an ally of russia, then he is not really an ally of ukraine, he has his own interests and all the complex situations in principle, he is just trying to act in this way in order to get the maximum benefit and not lose anything regarding a possible potential conversation with zelensky, the ambassador of the people's republic of china yesv-song stated in an interview the day before that there is no need for a conversation with such nonsense, contacts are maintained at lower levels and they are active . are you do you agree with these statements , how active are our contacts at lower

levels with the prc and could this phone conversation potentially change anything ? i don't think so. it can be said that the fact that china is postponing this conversation is precisely a sign that it cannot influence the situation. it will be just a conversation that it would not like to use its maximum diplomatic potential. in order to get some significant, er, some significant results, and in this case, well, if a conversation takes place, then this conversation will be accepted by russia as support, in principle, not russia, but the relations between russia and china have currently deteriorated a little according to some signs, er

observation that the visit to russia, which did not take place in the format with the results expected by russia , a further step such as what we are currently discussing would probably lead to such a level of distancing from russia that china currently considers unnecessary will change the situation nicely, well, from the point of view of the course of events on the ground, well, the politician wrote today that there are no signs that everyone has changed their position , well, actually, we can already see it from the results of the negotiations. and what could become of those markers so that the behavior has changed, well, in addition to the phone conversation with zelensky, this behavior has changed somewhat, if we consider that there should be a change. let's say that if something changes in black and white, that is, china would suddenly start supporting ukraine. so such a change is currently and for a long time and probably not worth it at all

to expect and with regard to some accents, they changed over time, first, the situation was for a long time at the beginning of the war, in principle, an active phase now, because the war actually began in the 14th year, and at the beginning of the aggression of the 22nd last february 24. last year, it seemed to be a long enough period for everyone, and so far he has not tried to deny it in any way, that china seems to even be able to and does support russia , at least morally , that is, putin's visit was also discussed on the eve of the war. not at all and china is distancing itself from such a perception of itself, but it is doing it step by step, very gradually, the latest statements, for example, made by a representative and a diplomat of the chinese

head of the european union, were even on support for state sovereignty. moreover, the crimea was mentioned and mentioned , which was not heard so loudly for a long time, at least in principle, the same statements were made by china earlier and in the 14th year at the beginning of the war, but if he let's say so and one more important position - this is a firm, in principle, position regarding any aspects of the use of the nuclear factor, including any threat to nuclear power generating capacity in ukraine for nuclear power plants. that is, it is also in the official documents of e recently

declared and published by china, it is very important in principle, in general, it characterizes hmm, such a soup, let's say the chinese positions. but he does not change the whole situation dramatically, he continues to maintain relations with russia, trade turnover with russia has increased , russia in some respects remains necessary to china for a long time time there are at least two key points as a raw material base. and now there is such a raw material base where you can buy energy resources at a discount e-e due to the e-e sanction. in addition, he is still interested in the russian e-e military technologies, china also currently has such a long-term program of hmm building its military potential, there are many different things , besides, china looks at this war

as a means of weakening the position of the west, but it also cannot be 100% sure of everything. he observes now he takes such an observant position and takes it more cautiously than at the beginning of the war and this is already such a very conditional uh positive in principle mr. oleksandr literally just a minute allow me one last question and what are the efforts of putin these old new references to syria have become more active in the international arena and now they are already in the air. what are the chances of moscow getting new allies in southeast asia? russia hardly has a chance to strengthen its position anywhere in the world at the moment. the mention of syria is just hmm. frankly, it is ridiculous because syria is not is a state in the full sense of the word, it is essentially a regime controlled from the outside, including by russia, with

the participation of the early ones, and the series is unfortunately in a very difficult state at the moment i had some reliable ally. well, the diagnosis is the diagnosis. thank you very much. i apologize, but unfortunately we no longer have time. thank you for joining the broadcast. pay attention to the video from bakhmut shared by ukrainian border guards, in particular, the situation is shown by our colleague and now a military journalist , levkostek

. yes, so far, it is very difficult to see for yourself, it is very difficult , but we drive what we need to do. it will come out too. more precisely, it was restored half an hour after 1000. recently, representatives of the wagner pvc

have publicly announced about certain interruptions with ammunition, although according to the border guards who keep the defense in bahmut, they are on this projectile hunger, as they say about it we did not feel at all the intensity of the work of the russian artillery, it did not decrease in the end it is wonderful to hear now when we walk through the streets of the city the calineade constantly accompanies our movements and you can hear it perfectly for yourself in the end it is perfectly visible from the residential buildings we are now in a block with five-story buildings and all of them we were damaged by artillery fire , did you have an arrival today? yes, they

covered this area today . we have to wait, even if there was a projectile that flew to the fifth floor of the apartment. broke through the capital wall, the house is on fire. it seems that they simply take them off the networks, they cannot take a vacuum to some of their such conditionally given that they determine such things for residential buildings, is there any for them at all, which they constantly select those targets, respectively, because their drones are constantly working they fly, but because of the arrivals, you can see that it is so chaotic, they don’t spare any

shells or mines, that’s why we talk about something let’s go here, order here is difficult, you can see for yourself in the houses, but how it turns out that people still live in terrible conditions but continue to live, we have a fresh example of civilians moving around carrying their belongings , this is read only when people are injured or at the very least unable to stay, then they even turn to us for help and friends, we will put an end to that, don't forget to subscribe to radio svoboda's youtube channel
