[000:00:00;00] so that he did not kill the children of the jews, they just painted and applied the sign of the blood of the lamb on their doors and the angel passed by, may every angel of evil pass by, may our angels, both living and heavenly, protect us take care of yourself and now for your attention the program spotlight ukraine let's watch together good evening. we are from ukraine. ethnic cleansing. russia sends to ukraine to be slaughtered . russia became the head of the un security council

. watch the country maps, the ukrainian version, trends and the world as journalists for the whole world. my name is volodymyr ostapchuk, in more detail, just now, we have to ensure the victory of ukraine as a sovereign and independent state , of course, any content on the discussion about ukraine as a member of nato, and how to base it on the fact that ukraine is democratic and independent , and this is exactly what is now being questioned, the closer you are to the center, the more you consider it a human being, and that is why so few muscovites and st. petersburg residents take part in the war in russia

is open to a constructive partnership with all countries without exception we are not going to isolate ourselves from anyone the war against ukraine is increasingly taking on signs of ethnic cleansing within russia itself the analysts of the ministry of defense of great britain emphasize the huge disproportion of losses in different regions of the state of terrorists, the war and related to it russian elites and the richest cities of the country, moscow and st. petersburg, were almost not affected by the mobilization, on the other hand, in the eastern regions of russia, where mostly non-indigenous peoples live, the level death rate has increased by more than 30 times over the past year, experts at the same time emphasize that the war unleashed by russia threatens not only ukrainians, but also certain russian ethnic minorities, details in our next story lost in the war against ukraine russia carefully hides, but according to open data on population mortality during the year of the full-scale invasion, media experts compiled a demographic

map of the terrorist country, it clearly shows how unevenly the war affected the regions , the lowest mortality in moscow, st. petersburg and the oil-rich tyumen, the russian authorities are currently not involving their elites in the war - the ministry of defense of great britain said, instead, they point to the ethnic component of mobilization in many eastern regions of russia , the death rate as a percentage of the population is more than 30 times higher than in moscow, in some places ethnic minorities suffer the most in astrakhan, about 75% of the victims are kazakh and tatar population, after the announcement of partial mobilization in russia , protests immediately broke out in dagestan, according to the estimates of the russian service of the bbc in percentages from the population of dagestanis in ukraine, more died than muscovites in 10 years, and some peoples of the republic were in general

threatened with extinction, in particular, the kumeyka during the year of the war, the highest mortality rate was recorded precisely in those regions where small peoples of russia live , buryatia, tuva, chukchi, transbaikalia and sakhalin , there is domestic racism in russia - it is throwing , they say, here in ukraine you have nationalists and neo-nazis here, i am simply ridiculous compared to how it happens in russia, but to say that the russians deliberately discriminate against the buryats because the fact that they are buryats is a thesis that requires separate proof. the closer you are to the center, the more you consider it a person, and that is why so few muscovites and st. petersburg citizens participate in the war . affect the conscription trends

, experts believe that economic discrimination and the level of protest moods in specific regions when in dagestan women started to protest and when they started beating the whole story with the conscription of policemen somehow ended there immediately in the kremlin, they said that we don’t take any more in dagestan . but over there, there are jewish cars google there from mongolia, like 100, but it ’s normal there, people go there even if there are some actions of social discontent or tension, then they can always be extinguished there and no one will ever know about it , did the war become a convenient moment for russia to carry out ethnic cleansing on its territories, an issue that requires a serious investigation, but about in particular, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi stated the catastrophic situation in the occupied crimea, the information about the crimean tatar people is fully confirmed

, the majority of mobilized and mobilization summonses are written there on the territory of russia itself the same thing is happening, this is a calculated imperial policy, this is a blow to the peoples, in particular , the peoples of the caucasus and siberia suffered the greatest losses, he emphasized zelensky, why ethnic russians are more equal than non-indigenous peoples , the kremlin will drive this in the next wave of mobilization we will discuss with my guest charles kapchon, the former chief director for european relations at the national security council of the united states of america. i congratulate you on your continued protection of your citizens, because most of the victims are among national minorities, and this is because the mobilization is taking place from the regions furthest from moscow, why the kremlin carries out

such ethnic cleansing. i think there are several reasons, first of all, everything depends on putin's preferences, namely to minimize the influence of those who support ethnic russian population and as a result somehow try to pretend again that this is a special military operation and he wants to collect more visas so that they go to the east of ukraine to the front and he calls on his own indigenous population as well as former prisoners and residents of bagneri to do so again he believes that this will reduce the impact of the war, the impact of the prize-giving , in fact, if only ethnic russians will be mobilized, and in particular, we understand that more

men are mobilized in rural populations compared to urban ones. we understand again that this will be a certain fee that will be paid by the regime that will be paid by the kremlin, and i honestly believe that this is such an influence among the dominant russian population, which may not value the lives of representatives of national minorities so much, in fact , i want to say that russia's war against ukraine , she forced the kremlin to melt the human resource , how to replenish it. you have already said about the wagnerites, and again i want to say that the armed forces are talking about the destruction of

the actual destruction of the prigozhin volunteers. can russia still involve in the war against ukraine, because there are rumors that they are already running out of prisoners. who will be next? in fact, i assume that the moscow officials really want to mobilize and not in a proportional way . of course, they want to attract new conscripts. it is really not easy, because thousands of russians the country actually to avoid mobilization and despite this, russia has a very large population, which is much larger than the population of ukraine, and therefore the essence is that russia can use this numerical advantage for in order to advance on the territory of ukraine. that is to say, this is so, let's understand that, of course , they do not have such a fighting spirit, because

ukraine defends its own homeland for the ukrainians , the russians do not do this, and again, we are talking about a collective event that mobilized and increased their efforts within the framework of providing military, humanitarian, financial aid, and we are all already waiting for the spring counteroffensive, but the russians are not stopping. they are trying to look for fresh blood, new cannon fodder, my next question to you as an expert is this question it is quite difficult why so many russians, even after a year of a full-scale invasion, they actually close their eyes to what is happening in ukraine. they listen to the radio, they do not listen. they read articles and they can actually be critical, but despite this, they are

somehow not serious about it. why i think that answer this question, i can say that putin's regime has reached such a level that it already controls virtually the entire information space, in which the trend is advancing that war is actually in it threat to the existence of russia and thanks to this he actually receives support from the people. we already see the results from institutions that conduct certain polls and we see that the russians express their support for the head of state and therefore we actually understand that the things presented in the media do not correspond to reality and they on embodied in order to keep putin himself in power, that is why they

will continue like this you are right in the world of social networks in the sources of information we can expect so that the russian public should have a better awareness of what is actually happening, but they don't do it, they don't even look for any alternative sources of information , they prefer mainstream russian propaganda from tv and radio, and in fact they believe everything they say, they believe that this russian aggression against ukraine was preventive in order to prevent something well, maybe it is also because the majority of russians do not want to feel this sense of guilt and responsibility for all those crimes that were committed on the territory of ukraine. it is much easier to close your eyes and pretend that we don't see it. we are not responsible for all this. i am sure that this is

one part of the explanation, but i also think that there is an extremely large amount of propaganda, in particular , which has been deployed by the government and it is extremely successful. it manages to convince the russians that they follow the lead of such er propaganda , they believe that the ukrainians are ruled by the nazis, that the ukrainians, together with nato, will pose a great threat to russia, that their lives are in danger, that is, there are a lot of such side effects that were invented by the russian authorities and who received support from their population, we are waiting for the spring counter-offensive of the armed forces of ukraine, so what do you think when this counter-offensive will start and how far

the armed forces of ukraine will succeed, children, of course i will not speculate about when the counter-offensive will be carried out. will depend on the general staff and i think that i think that now they are dealing with it, they are waiting, they are thinking and they are waiting for more weapons to arrive from the western partners, more ammunition , more heavy weapons and in fact thanks to with such equipment, they will be able to carry out and break through the enemy's defense zone, and that is why it is actually very important to make such a breakthrough in the east in the donbass direction, and that is why they see how the occupiers have dug in , how they are holding the defense, and therefore now it

is very important for the military to have the necessary technical armored tanks machines in order for them to be able to make such an expected breakthrough, and for this to progress, i think that they will succeed. i definitely think that the russian troops will be able to be pushed out until by the end of this year, ukraine will regain all its temporarily occupied territories in accordance with the borders of 1991, and i also believe that during this year we will see that the territory of ukraine will be restored. this was yesterday in skabchenko, the former chief director for european relations at the national security council of the united states america you are watching on atleti crane

ukrainian version subscribe to our youtube channel espresso tv sport life you have of the united nations, i agree, it sounds absurd, but the representative of a terrorist country that is waging an aggressive, unprovoked war in ukraine during april will sit in the main chair of an organization that should care about peace throughout the world, how do other un members react to it, and what does the ukrainian leadership plan to do about it and other things, see in our story an evil and inappropriate joke on april 1, this is how most representatives of the world community reacted to the beginning of the russian presidency of the security council of the united nations during on april 1, the main chair in the structure that should take care of world peace will be occupied by the representative of the country that will be responsible for this peace, and despite the fact that his functions will be regulated, members of other delegations expect that moscow will use this opportunity to abuse and promote its own manipulative narratives about its

aggressive and unprovoked the war in ukraine , for example. this is what the pro-russian presidency said, the permanent representative of estonia in the radbezion rein tamsar, humiliatingly gypsy and dangerous for our trust and effective the functioning of this body, a country that is waging a war of aggression against its neighbor, committing the most terrible atrocities, threatening the world with nuclear weapons, and whose leader is a war criminal with an arrest warrant from the icc should not be able to preside over an organization whose purpose is to preserve international peace and security, and despite the symbolic function of presiding in the security council of the un, it still has a certain constitutional force. this is stated in the article of the taim magazine, which was jointly written by the permanent representative of ukraine to the un, serhiy kislytsia and the associate dean of the yale university school of management, jeffrey zonenfeld, in their opinion, the representative of russia will preside over all meetings, monitor compliance with the agenda and conduct

debates, as well as prepare drafts of all resolutions, and the kremlin, according to the authors of the article , has repeatedly abused procedural points in the past, so russia's permission in to head the security council this month is a big mistake known robbers will not be allowed to run banks and those convicted of sexual crimes will not are trusted to manage kindergartens in the same way, putin cannot be allowed to make a mockery of international diplomacy by becoming the face of global peace, while he is daily intensifying his unjust invasion of ukraine with new attacks, adding fuel to the fire and the fact that russia not only kills ukrainian citizens and destroys ukrainian cities and villages it still occupies the second place in the list of the largest arms exporters in the world, despite the fact that due to the war it is waging in ukraine, its export opportunities have decreased sharply moscow continues to sell deadly weapons to

in large quantities and thus finances its own war machine, while russia not only remains a permanent member of the security council of the united nations, but also presides over it. this is how this situation was commented to the white house by the line that grossly violates the un charter and invades the territory of its neighbor out of place in the un security council, unfortunately, russia is a permanent member of the security council and there is no possible international legal way to change this reality, this is what we are living with now, if it were not unpleasant to see the reality of russia at the head of the council is that it is mostly a ceremonial position that is handed over to the members of the council every month in alphabetical order, which is why it is now increasingly common to hear opinions that the un security council in its current form has lost its mandate of trust because it has ceased to perform its main function of maintaining peace in the world and that is why it must be immediately reformed

, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi calls for this, and there will be no such reason that will stop the reform of global institutions , in particular the un security council, a reform that is obvious to us mature so that the state and any other state that wants to be terrorists cannot destroy the peace terrorists must lose they must be responsible for that and not preside but so far there is no such reform and it is not known when it will be introduced if at all on his twitter page, he appealed to all our friends, allies and partners , he called on them to make every effort to prevent any attempts by russia to abuse its presidency, zenon koval a belgian diplomat, a former representative of the french-speaking governments of belgium, is a guest of spatlighty train and we would like to clarify together the situation surrounding russia's chairmanship

of the un security council. greetings, good evening, so russia is chairing the un security council this year , how is this possible, of course i want to say that there is no the mechanism of excluding russia from the security council does not have such means to exclude russia from the united nations, because we as an organization will need permission from the security council and how can you imagine that in fact almost it is impossible because russia has the right of veto and we understand that russia will preside over the un security council for a month, we must be ready and i think that not only ukrainian representatives have already prepared for this

period of russia's presidency, but we all must be aware that ugu can provide some orientations or manipulations regarding certain issues in order to present their points of view, and also to cause or bring to the agenda those issues that actually play into the hands of russia and can in a certain way justify actions criminal actions of russia and which it has been carrying out during the last year. yes, and again i want to ask you about why the organization of the united nations is considered a platform for russia to promote its propaganda and disinformation, and again , the un and also other organizations such as unicef, unesco and others. in fact, these platforms are

forums for everyone and representatives of the whole world , ukraine, and therefore, if russia can use such platforms to promote certain interests, then we ukrainians are all allies and partners of the ukrainians, we should use this to show that there are contradictions promoted by russia, contradictions in what they think, what they say and what they do, therefore , in fact, we can use such platforms to our advantage, or do we have certain mechanisms to exclude russia from the organization of the united nations with one of the largest organizations in the world, as i already said , in fact, we need certain decisions from the organization of the united nations and also a recommendation from the security council, but we

know that the security council has 15 members, five permanent members and 10 members of the un security council are elected for a period of two years, and therefore they are re-elected, so in order to receive such a recommendation from the security council, we need the consent of russia . but russia will never agree to this because it has the right of veto, that is in fact, there is no way out, that is, such a certain impasse is true, but 49 countries condemned russia for organizing a meeting of the un security council dedicated to providing legal grounds for the abduction of ukrainian children from temporarily occupied territories that we

it is still necessary to exclude russia from all such possible world platforms, because in my opinion, russia has crossed all possible red lines. yes, i agree with you, and the presentation that was shown before our interview is actually so clear and puts everything in its place, but since we cannot exclude russia, we must fight it back on these platforms, because ukraine is a country where the rule of law is present, we must use all the means provided by this law in order to defeat russia , we know that the international criminal court in particular, issued a warrant for the arrest of putin and also for a or tsugumen acting on the part of russia. that is, these are specific elements that we can use in order to reveal and dispel the position of russia. so, in fact, we can do everything to counteract the actions that

russia is taking. we have to prove everyone and show the whole world that russia is not a reliable partner , because they do not respect the norms of international law, they say one thing and do a completely different thing, and therefore it is impossible to trust a person who constantly deceives you. thank you for the conversation. it was belgian diplomat zenon koval, i will remind you that you are watching spotlight ukraine, the ukrainian version, then we move on to the fake-check section , in which we destroy the myths of russian propaganda . the ministry of defense of the russian federation . this week, the russian army destroyed three nato and four volodymyrs of zelensky, usually, but not for the russian propaganda machine. it is the myths of the kremlin propaganda that we destroy in our column called fake check and

let me introduce ruslan deynychenko , who is the co-founder of the stafffake mr. ruslan congratulations congratulations so we have selected three cases in which russian propaganda sinned this week, let's start with the first case . russian media reported that during training in great britain, the ukrainian military could not achieve even minimal results in mastering challenger 2 tanks. kremlin propagandists refer to dzygadin and the alleged instructor of the instructor, who is actually is not even a real person about other fabrications of russian journalists see further russian news site gazeta ru quoted one of the british instructors john butler, who allegedly negatively assessed the successes of the ukrainian military, military instructor john butler stated that ukrainian soldiers were disdainful of training. he added that many fled and refused to return

to the motherland earlier. training, in particular, how to command, drive and work together as a challenger-2 tank crew, as well as effectively identify targets and hit them, the ministry of defense reported, however, that the ukrainian military did not were able to achieve even minimal results mastering challenger 2 tanks no mention of the same british instructor john butler as well as his comments are completely made up i wonder how they make up the names of this john butler where do they get it gone with the wind where did mr. butler come on seriously why are russian propagandists actually trying to depict the ukrainian military as allegedly completely incapable of mastering e-tanks

, military equipment in general, and i don’t know planes. aimed at an english-speaking audience, from the british to the americans, we saw that this new product was translated into english and widely distributed on social networks, so that the american and british taxpayers who read this new product will think about why we spend so much money on the training of the ukrainian military in order to provide weapons in ukraine, if the ukrainians themselves do not want to defend themselves, if the ukrainians do not want to study and even want to stay in britain , ask for political asylum here, that is why this is primarily the target audience was in of this fake news. thank you. we are moving on to another fake this week. it's just a quote. nuclear escalation and a new round of aggression . that's how the russian snake described the supply

of shells with depleted uranium to ukraine from great britain. the ministry of foreign affairs of the aggressor country called the use of such ammunition a manifestation of attention. genocide , after all, the following is a quote, everyone who lives in this territory is there and in the nearest areas will definitely receive an appropriate dose of radiation , but what is fiction in this story, see just now putin russia will be forced to respond to weapons with a nuclear component of the russian mfa supplying great britain with wound shells for the armed forces will be a new form of aggression the russian mfa called britain's decision to deliver shells with depleted muran to ukraine in response to the accusations of the russian side the ministry of defense of great britain emphasized that depleted uranium is
