[000:00:00;00] er, the involvement and effectiveness of the green corridor will be pressured by other countries in november 2022, with the owners of this initiative, they clearly expressed their position that the green corridor should work without interruption, because it is not only about survival or some kind of food crisis situation. no, in fact, everyone suffers from small entrepreneurs to medium and large businesses, and therefore we understand what a threat russia is to the whole world, we know that the un world food program actually fed

48 million people, in particular in africa, who were on the brink of starvation, and that is why this is a very important moment. despite this, russia cannot calm down, they use such issues that affect the food crisis as a weapon, they really aptly said that during the russian aggression, a large part of ukraine became mined, and therefore it not only er some movements in order to continue sowing but we understand what the harvest will be this year and will we have enough of it so really we will have enough grain and sunflower seeds at least for ukraine but we also have to think about the global aspects of food security, we must constantly bear in mind the issue of exports, because ukraine is truly

a feeding country, we produce much more than we need for domestic consumption, and therefore it is very important to keep the focus precisely on this issue to provide our farmers not only but to carry out work in the fields, but also to do all the work to ensure the safety of farmers and demining, in particular, in the kherson region, in the zaporizhia region, sappers work every day to help farmers do their the work is truly ukrainian farmers, they are very efficient and productive in the way they grow grain in their fields within the framework of such hostile actions. they manage to work, it seems, and that is why the issue of exporting products is now urgent because the

sea corridors can be blocked . therefore, it is necessary to look for overland routes for the export of ukraine to europe, so what should be the solidarity of europe, this is a key issue, and therefore we now hope that in the next few months there will be active negotiations between ukraine, the european union, turkey, ukraine, and the un will hold such negotiations to ensure a more or less stable situation regarding the food issue, rather stable work in finding export routes for ukrainian products to europe. i have certain data for that . so, the world food program said that 300,82 million people in in the world, now they

still feel a shortage, uh, or a food crisis, we see that these numbers are impressive, if the agreement was not renewed, what would happen, then this is a very, very deep question everyone is now actually discussing the recent revelations of blackmail by russia regarding the coordination center in istanbul, and they say that we agreed to extend the grain agreement for 120 days to the middle of may and no longer, and they are blackmailing again by saying that if financial sanctions are not lifted from them, then they will block grain exports and therefore we can only think about what will happen after may 18, they

can say no to us these conditions no to us it is no longer suitable to participate in the grain agreement without our e- teams of ex-appraisers and inspectors and therefore in november of last year, the situation was quite similar. we already have the experience that russia can actually say how it can find itself, how the representatives of russia behave, and we also saw what is clear , what a clear position turkey has, russia actually forced to behave in other countries, and other countries say, and for example, russia claims that if you manage to work without us, then we will return to the initiative , such narratives were already also uh-uh when we

talk about commercial uh-huh ships were what were loaded with grain. i don't know if they will be given access, in fact, now it is not even possible to predict what, what, what they are capable of, and therefore when we talk about the beginning of the grain agreement, then we thought about ways to solve this situation and did not see any light at the end of the tunnel when we talk about russia's participation , we are optimists , glory to ukraine, glory to heroes

. discussed the grain issue, the terrible figures of russia's war against ukraine, 150,000 destroyed residential buildings, more than a thousand lost shrines and objects of cultural heritage, 550 destroyed educational institutions and more than 100 hospitals, this is only a small list of what the invaders destroyed in ukraine during a year and two months of full-scale war, but if the buildings can still be rebuilt, the lives of the murdered ukrainians cannot be returned from the tortured ukrainians, what price we pay in the fight against russian terrorism, see the plot borodyanka in this one in ruins even a year after the deoccupation, this the village is one of the most destroyed in the kyiv region, the russians entered on february 26, the locals did not have time to leave because the village was intensively bombarded by enemy aircraft, people hid in the basements, which became their mass graves after the liberation of the bards from under the rubble

, 41 bodies were pulled out, they ran out and we look at the center of the house, and it is also burning was still standing in the structure even if part of it was held from the outside, but there was a terrible cry of a small child and all this collapsed before our eyes, a lot of people were in their apartments, and some even my neighbors from on the fourth floor with a little girl, they ran to the entrance and they were in this very city where the bomb hit, the whole family died , a little girl and a man and his wife, the other natalya lost her husband and brother in their apartment, a russian rocket hit their apartment, it happened on march 2, well, we left the box, i'm the one that we were sent to the village, she died there, my friend is alive

, we were with her, and they went home, they went home , the tramp was free, the moon began to warm up , they gave mysterious schedules, and later a photo of one of them was posted on social networks by a well-known british the street artist banksy confirmed that this is his work, the building itself will have to be demolished, but the graphic artists want to save the one that ran the buckets, we need to fix the capsule, this is a picture of a cross, i will say yes, and manually disassemble the alarm clock for the restoration of the village , more than 140 million dollars are needed per month, the authorities calculated during the occupation , almost every second house in borodyanka was destroyed, and during the year of the full-scale war in

ukraine, there were dozens of such settlements, but there are already many of them that do not even have a name until russian invasion in the city of maryinka on the outskirts of donetsk, 10 thousand people lived now, not a single inhabitant and not a single surviving house in donetsk region is almost a remnant of the destroyed volnovakha vugledar lyman soledar and bakhmut catastrophic destruction in mariupol in the luhansk region became ruins severodonetsk popasna frontier happiness and crime in the combat zone of the occupiers they use scorched earth tactics and shock us with their brutal treatment not only of captured ukrainian military personnel but also of the civilian population. what we did when we entered soledar bakhmut cannot be described to us. they gave the command to clean up and destroy everyone, there were women , men, children, pensioners. you understand what is on these hands. she is screaming, she is a little

child, she is five or six years old, and i shot no one. i should not have let the children go . there were about 40 children. i had no way out , i couldn’t do anything, i gave the order to destroy everyone, according to the un . during this war, almost eight thousand ukrainian civilians died, including almost 500 children , but these are only documented numbers , the real number is much higher at the moment it is not known how many civilians died in severodonetsk lysychansk popasny volnovasy a separate history of mariupol according to approximate estimates last spring during active hostilities about 20,000 townspeople died and i am joined by the former secretary general of nato george robertson my greetings i greet you er first question so today

the first to jens stoltenberg actually came to kyiv a few weeks before the expected counteroffensive of the ukrainian army, what nato brought to kyiv and maybe something that can't be said on the phone, he brought to kyiv a sense of solidarity, because they are really people and members of nato, they are with the people of ukraine, and now they are more united than ever and who support ukraine, and of course there is no doubt that vladimir putin at the beginning of this operation, as he calls it, that he will succeed not to separate europe and the west, but actually to unite all of it, and all aspects

of the disaster that he brought to the european continent, he strengthened europe, and now the usa and europe are now welded together in joint joint support of ukraine and the first in the first an interview after you were elected as the head of nato and in 2009 you said that you would like to improve allied relations with russia if you were elected now as the secretary general of nato in 2023 what did you say now about allied relations with russia in 2000 in 1900 and in 1999, i was appointed after the liberation of kosovo , and at that moment we really wanted to improve relations with a country like the russian

federation. but again, there was a certain period of good relations with vladimir putin , in fact, i cherished hopes for partnerships that we actually worked out the period of action at that time, and in particular after the terrorist attack on september 11, and in fact, at that time, vladimir putin did not sign the rome agreements, which actually indicated that russia does not recognize the territorial integrity of specific countries, and of course we also heard from what is putin like? what is ukraine? also, i will now quote the secretary general of nato that ukraine is a sovereign state that will

choose its own path and i believe that putin's words . putin also said about this once, but now he simply denied all his words, he denied the entire un charter, here is the entire rome statute for and therefore the situation and the context have completely changed. therefore, now we understand that the position of stolter a is correct and in fact i think that i would also support such and such a line, namely that ukraine has the right to exist and we are close to ukraine in one of your interviews with deutsche welle, you also said that we should expect new provocations from russia. what kind of provocations did you mean? i think that undoubtedly russia will continue its provocations, provocations with regard to

violence and attacks, and this should not surprise us. we must be ready for them. we must have the appropriate military power in order to give a proper response when this or that provocation occurs. ukraine and the ukrainians are aware that this can happen. they have the proper ammunition , the proper missiles of the air defense system in order to really fight off russian military attacks and precisely for this, we and the ukrainians must prepare now, because we are looking at your resistance and resistance, let's talk about strategic questions. so, the russian invasion of the territory of ukraine

will revolutionize nato's military strategy. that is it turns out that nato is now becoming a world military alliance and declares that it will not allow a single inch of nato land to suffer. do we understand that nato is a powerful organization that has actually gone on vacation from history? do you agree with this? i do not agree with this. yes, we do. we hope for the best, we remain optimistic, but at the first stages of our relations with russia , there really was an opportunity for putin to actually understand that we have common enemies , common problems, common difficulties and in fact, cooperation with nato was in the interests of the russian federation in general

, so i think there were times when we hoped for a bright future, but now we understand that we are looking pragmatically through a pragmatic prism , because putin betrayed us, he actually wanted to conquer the country neighbor, and therefore is it possible to have good relations with such a person and the leadership of such a country, we understand that no, because this policy, which is actually carried out on the territory of the eastern regions of russia, does not have any possibility of disuniting ukraine because someone

does anyone support russia? no, it is impossible to have any tactical relations with russia now. we cannot contain it. we are completely disappointed by the actions of the russian leadership and their imperial ambitions, and this is actually what destroyed our hopes. thank you . how long do you think russia can continue to fight in ukraine? i really don't know how many of them will be enough. this is a very, very difficult question. we understand that their strategic goals have failed and they are running out of military personnel . they are running out of weapons. they are building fortifications for that in anticipation of a ukrainian counteroffensive, also considering how large-scale the destruction is as a result of this invasion, it is impossible to give any

subjective assessment, it is obvious to everyone , when russia was part of the soviet union, they decided that they would withdraw from afghanistan , in fact overnight, the following was adopted decision and they left their mission in afghanistan, so i hope that in fact, if putin now fully understands that it will not work out, he will emerge victorious in this conflict, he will understand that defeat is already approaching, he simply cease hostilities thank you again george robertson former nato secretary general was sharp spotlati chain you watch the ukrainian version and do not forget to subscribe to our youtube channel espresso tv spotligain with q version with you as before volodymyr ostapchuk and now is the time to destroy the myths created by kremlin propaganda we like to do this with our partners from stafayk and

with me now on direct communication with the executive director of stopfay - ruslan deynychenko p ruslane my congratulations congratulations, so as every week we choose the three most egregious cases the creation of fakes by russian propaganda and the first, albeit indirectly related to the americans, russian mass media accuse volodymyr zelensky of embezzling 400 million us dollars, these funds were allegedly allocated by the united states for the purchase of fuel for the armed forces of ukraine, in addition to lviv propagandists refer to the american journalist seymour hersh who he made public the evidence of the accusations. and we will actually discuss this case immediately after a small story that convinces

ukraine secretly buys discount fuel from in russia, despite the fact that the united states allocated millions of dollars to kyiv for these needs, zelensky buys diesel from the russians at a discount - one informed employee of the american intelligence told me. evidence of corruption in ukraine, there are no facts of embezzlement of american funds; in addition, the us auditors and the white house have repeatedly emphasized that they did not find any significant violations in the use western weapons and financial aid from kyiv after we publicized the scheme for informing special inspectors about possible fraud. my office received 178 reports. thus, the number of reports increased by 556%. compared to the previous 11 months, but to date we have not detected any serious criminal violations, while the increase in the number of reports shows that our information campaign is working and

people know how to report potential misuse of funds at the end of january, the us treasury department said there are no signs of misuse with american funds in ukraine, the fruit of cooperation with the ukrainian authorities continues to provide adequate guarantees to prevent corruption, the department added today, by the way, before the broadcast, i reread this article, to put it mildly, i personally did not like the tone because the first words of the american journalist were such that the trail of blatant corruption in ukraine , this is not enough for zelensky, so i have a very logical question. why, even in the absence of facts, are there any anonymous sources that are completely unconfirmed representatives of foreign media help the russians to spread disinformation well, i would say that this person is no longer a representative of the american mass media, but he was once a very interesting journalist and influential

journalists to well-known journalists in the united states, but that was a long time ago, now he is 86 years old and all that he does not act as a representative of any mass media, but from himself personally , and the impression is that he does not carefully approach the information he publishes and can say anything without evidence, accusing, for example, the united states states in the fact that they blew up the northern streams or that zelensky stole 400 million dollars and so such statements are very fond of russian propagandists and first of all they picked up this topic and other such informational reasons that this ex-journalist spoke about because he is really an american and for russian propaganda, you can say, well, look, this is an influential american journalist, and it was he who unearthed that zelensky is stealing 400 million dollars, maybe even

more, so again , there are many such stories, russian propaganda loves former american military former american intelligence officers of some former employees of the white house and with reference to them publishes some kind of delusion or is there any evidence that this journalist has direct ties to the kremlin, that it is possible that he was paid money or that he is in some way connected with the russian propaganda . is it just his own opinion and it is anti -ukrainian? raises doubts about the fact that what he does, he does for free. thanks, let's move on. another case, which

we wanted to talk about together with the stop fake, the court in gaz ordered russia to pay 5 billion us dollars in compensation for the losses of naftogaz in the occupied crimea, the case is ongoing, let me remind you seven years and now the kremlin media convinces what is next quote russia will not suffer financial losses from this decision, however, a number of arguments prove the opposite, let's see which countries are under them and we still need to understand the correctness interpretations by naftogaz, this is how russian politician leonid slutsky reacted to the court decision, the russians are convinced that the decision is illegal, they add that the kremlin will return all frozen assets and does not plan to compensate the losses of ukrainian companies, yes, the assets of the russian central bank were frozen , for example, in european banks, but any withdrawal of funds from these assets and transferring

them to someone will be theft of someone else's property , the lawyer explained. in fact, if russia refuses to voluntarily comply with the court's decision , naftogaz has the right to start forced this process is provided for by the new york convention, in particular on the territory of the states where russian assets are located, mr. ruslane. why do the russian media continue to assert the inviolability of russia even when it comes to international court decisions ? which was formed by russian propaganda, accordingly , any sanctions that the west will introduce against russia, they will only be useful, russia will only use them, any fines there or the payments of naftogaz or any other ukrainian company that will win, i hope that similar courts will soon be the same, all these payments

russia will claim that it will never return them, i will remind you that russian propaganda also claimed about the stockholm arbitration in which naftogaz won and the russians claimed that they will never pay ukraine will never receive or see this money but nevertheless ukraine saw this money russia paid it what kills makes you stronger this logic of kremlin changes and as far as i understand correctly to convince the domestic consumer that this is for the best, or is there an emphasis on the international audience, that russia is strong, we are not afraid of anyone, and in general, your international decisions are of no use to us. and this is exactly how russian propaganda works on an external audience and, accordingly, the legislative the state duma body also passes laws on the non-recognition of any decisions that russia does not like. and if this decision was in favor of russia

, then it would present it as its victory and would not doubt for a second that the authority of the institution that made this decision, if the decision is not in favor of russia, then russian propaganda is trying to destroy the authority of this structure, to say that it is completely illegitimate, that it is not competent , that it is under foreign control, or that of the united states or the european union, and that these judges or arbitrators who made this decision the decision was made for bribes, that is, any arguments are given in order to compromise this decision and to say that only russia's position is the only correct one, this is very much on my side of the teacher from work at the school, where was his decision, his position is also wrong, the same applies now to the russian federation and another fake that we will discuss together with you, we remind you that this is a fake page where we destroy myths created by kremlin propaganda, hungarians in ukraine are asked to protect budapest from

the ukrainian genocide the russian mass media launched another fake about the disintegration of ukraine , more about this later in the country's patlet, the head of the international center of the mother of rusyns, petro getsko, addressed the president of russia , vladimir putin, with a proposal in the context forcing ukraine to peace and federalization of lands to turn the western regions of ukraine into carpathian rus, the author of the article, petro getsko, does not represent the interests of rusyns in ukraine , he currently lives in russia, in addition, he has been wanted since 2014 for encroaching on the territorial integrity and inviolability of ukraine, carpathian rusyns condemn any what are the statements made by getzka rushnyv and we condemn any illegal aggression against ukraine in
