[000:00:00;00] your comrade in this situation, well, that’s what you should be afraid of. and vasyl was surprised. and only now did he find out exactly what words he used during the fight , i just don’t. that's how you control it, and it turns out. but the main thing is that the work should be so that we understand each other, that is, the team. when there is a team , then the strength, in the end, the density of the fire created a chance for salvation for the wounded fighters. there are 10-15 people

forming, well, they hid a little. who among us just had such a charge before that, i don’t go. yes, they just worked very quickly, yes, what can weapons say , i didn’t think that there was probably some sort of assault rifle there , but the danger for all participants in the battle did not end there. enemy mortars began to cover the border guards with mines here we came under mortar shelling, then we moved to the second street, the bakhmut soil saved our lives, and there at that time , after the rain, after the winter, after the snow , the soil is so uh, the soil is so talkative. i don’t know how to say that when the shells fly, it’s the wreckage that saves them there many remain there, if it was a cluster, the surface there is asphalt or something. of course, it would be much worse, you know, if there was stoning , that's how we would go, so you understand, in the summer , we hit the ground, the results of this battle , klimov's group is saved, now the guys are being treated , the position itself was not was lost later and our defenders were retaken without injury , and in the fifth game, only the commander received a concussion from a nearby mine explosion, they went in

, did the job and came out, yes, yes, in fact , yes, in 15 minutes, yes, the loss of the enemy however, they did not count for the fighters of fatlas, the most important thing was to save their comrades, but they definitely destroyed at least three enemies, such thoughts and what is there ? well, they are bakhmut . the guys need to be taken out, well, help somehow. they are being restored. well, something impressive like that . well, there are mines falling. that's all you're paying attention to. now the boys are resting and preparing for the next battles. the iron horse of the border guard valery will go for repairs and his owner stays in the east because he wants to liberate his native land from the occupiers this year, yes, yes, we are the home of the donbass, i am luhansk redumy. well, that means it should be almost

home to our home . this and how much they can pull already no, only this year we all have to drive them out, we showed them and here, by the way , you interviewed me in front of me vasyl he is from the chop of the western part of ukraine i am the most eastern , so that they don't say that propaganda so the east and the event was together and we will have one goal to liberate our country protect it pavlo vasyl ictv facts of the week only news you will find more interesting facts on our youtube channel facts of the week subscribe explosion-level attack on the crimean bridge this is how the huge fire at the fuel base in sevastopol was assessed even local gauleiters, who

usually downplay the level of the problem , admitted that this is a threat of the fourth highest level. well, ukrainian intelligence has already specified that 40,000 tons of fuel were burned for the russian black sea fleet, all this looked like armageddon, well, how many drones attacked the sevastopol bay, which ones, or maybe they were hijackers for two days, since the tanks are located near the shore, all this is being discussed on the radio and studied, but the key thing is that they were hit and that we are actively seeing such events now on the eve of the ukrainian counteroffensive , even this week i spoke with president zelensky the whole world was waiting for this call after the announcement of china's so-called peace plan for a meeting with putin , the chinese leader said that he would call

the ukrainian president when the time was right moment, so what happened this week on the world political chessboard that china decided to make a move , collected all the inciting details, but the czech phone conversation , which the whole world was waiting for, what everyone said was that it was important for him to drive such a chinese nail as beijing started the game, china made the first move why is china sending a special representative to us? china will obviously raise the stakes. how will everything change the big chessboard when china will be ready to get mixed up in the red line and also will it bring our victory closer and what step will it take?

next, for a very long time , china entered the big game and already made the first move, and he was never a pawn, but he was neither a king nor a queen. world leaders, in particular, emmanuel macron and ursula fondeliaen, still had time to visit beijing, but the head of the people's republic of china then cut off contact with zelensky when there would be suitable conditions and time , and this is what happened, and why exactly now, after a year of silence, and what are the conditions that finally arose, let's figure it out, maybe this is an attempt to silence a scandal in paris when the chinese ambassador on the air of a french tv channel questioned the sovereignty of the former soviet republics, in particular, ukraine , this version was irritated by the western press . well, let's say i don't like this version simply because from the very beginning

this provocation was a priori agreed with the central leadership in one way or another. well , maybe the form was a little different from what i expected from the very beginning, but the content did not change significantly, but according to the interviewees, the facts of the week experts, because the ambassador is only a pawn in this big game and could hardly influence the course of action. maybe the call was triggered by the fact that biden ran for president, because it happened just the day before, and since the usa is the main economic competitor of china, it can be assumed that in this way the leader of the people's republic of china tried to reduce the degree of tension with the west, the chinese understand well that biden is not the greatest and chinese candidate in the american elections in the future and there is a probability that there will be another american president with a much more radical position and now the topic of china

rather, it will be one of the three key non-american elections. there is always the economy , there is always migration, crime, and the third big topic will be china . of course , there will be a competition. the call, moreover, the call is clearly and probably more than one month, so what then is this an attempt by the prc to stop the counteroffensive of the armed forces to please the kremlin by talking about the peace plan. the chinese are very , very closely following our war with russia they monitor in real time 24/7 they analyze every part of the hostilities and every part of the political efforts they perfectly understand that we are preparing and that our partners and allies are helping us they

absolutely do not want to start a business the world and precisely for this he becomes a full-fledged player in the european arena, he really wants to be a security provider, that is, of course he wants to become a peacemaker. another question is how he can do it, he can do it with the help of precisely the mechanisms of strategic partnership, as well as with the help of trade and ecological ties , that is, he wants to become the economic engine of eurasia in order to change the world order from a single well, as a jeweler, that is, a unipolar world to a multipolar world, it is possible with such an aim that the leader of the people's republic of china has now entered the big chessboard with a call to zelensky, he demonstrated that he wants to reduce the degree of tension in relations with the west, so what years of the year will he offer and in whose interests china

will never play on anyone, he will not play on russia will not play against us and the west either, but he wants to get a golden share, a golden share in case china needs these shots of the visit, all of them raised a lot of questions for putin and endangered economic cooperation with the west, which is important for the prc , especially against the background of rumors about the possible supply of chinese weapons to the federation, and therefore the call to zelensky could become a kind of distracting maneuver that would allow us to avoid a ban and implement ambitious plans. the subject of discussions may be the imposition of sanctions on china, india, and china, iran and other countries that support russia economically, that is, china may find itself under the united states itself, and

this forced it to take a decorative step before the meeting in ukraine, but is it really decorative and what agreements the ukrainian and chinese leaders were able to reach during one of the most intriguing conversations of the last year, due to bad signals, suddin again called the russian-ukrainian war a crisis and did not call for the withdrawal of russian of good troops emphasized the impermissible use of nuclear weapons and the inadmissibility of nuclear blackmail and also noted that he respects the territorial integrity of all states . the principle of respect for sovereignty and

territorial integrity also lies at the base, and when mentioning this , the ukrainian side definitely wanted to emphasize something that china supports us in the form in which it is recognized by international law, kosh the chinese leader spoke again about the peace negotiations, about his own importance in this process and that he has his own plan. and he also announced his intention to send a dove of peace , a special representative for eurasian affairs, to ukraine . however, his background somewhat worries ligway, who was the former ambassador of the prc to russia, and this a very controversial person, like all chinese ambassadors in russia. he was distinguished by his sympathy for everything russian. there are many photos of him happy at events next to medvedev sakharova matvienko and especially

i was impressed with the yugans, actually with the leader of the russian company, so they won't give out a trojan horse and he will stand on guard or their interests, in fact, the chinese ambassador, he always wakes up and will defend chinese interests , but this man knows russia very well, he probably knows every other person there in moscow if nothing else, he perfectly understands who the russian elite knows very well, that's why his appointment is rather a bitter pill for putin, a person who knows russia well , she knows how to use internal russian weakness, in turn, finally sent our ambassador to the prc, he became pavlo ryabikin. therefore, the exchange of ambassadors, as well as the contact itself, with zelenskyi, which did not happen during the entire war , is a clear plus for ukraine, because the chinese leader heard our peace formula from the mouth of the ukrainian, and this is only the first

step into the village we are very important our form was involved as many countries as possible in the world where they could then put pressure on the things of the russian federation that we will restore our territorial integrity but what follows is clear china will not provide us with military support because ukraine is an ally of the united states, but for us the most important thing in this story is that he does not help russia, and russia does not need a victory for russia, it needs a weakened russia, i read that china needs resources, china needs putin, who will look at this, that’s it, china needs a nuclear umbrella in russian, china needs a strategic rear, russian china we need russian energy sources and russian resources in general, after all, china just needs another powerful non-western state to sit next to it at global forums, and which

, if not very friendly, is ideally friendly at least it is more in favor of china than of the west, so what would it be, for example, to exchange a horse for an elephant, that is, to appease russia's aggressive ambitions in exchange for china's trade with europe without restrictions , experts do not rule out such a thing china, which will not offer what it wants to receive through its mediation, mediation, peacemaking, it will want to get certain concessions from ukraine , one of the conditions for him to become a mediator is that he wants ukraine to choose geopolitical neutrality, so that it sees itself as a bridge between the west and the east, between the south and the north, so that it would not be this outpost, in the end, experts call this call, although

not too much, at least political, but economic, because china can now at least be a guarantor of the uninterrupted operation of the grain corridor , well done ictv facts of the week - the only news for sabotage on russian ears are sticking out of the northern stream, this is indirectly confirmed by new facts that were made public by the danish armed forces this week, four days before the sabotage of the same place where the danish patrol boat would later explode filmed a russian ship, there were conversations about it before, but now it became known what kind of ship it was and this small detail is a big sensation, because near the site of the explosion there was a fishing schooner and a military special forces ss750 ship that was created specifically for underwater work. it even has its own submarine as russian

propagandists say, i don't think it's a coincidence to reduce the threat from russia in the baltic sea. at the beginning of the year , estonia proposed a bold decision to close free passage for russian ships in the gulf of finland and this plan was not put on the shelf, the prime minister of estonia kayakalas, who came to kyiv this week, confirmed in an exclusive interview with facts of the week artem kulya used this opportunity to ask her about a million shells for ukraine, kyiv's chances of becoming a member of nato yes or not do european politicians feel that from the war, a million shells for ukraine, how did the estonian government achieve such a record collection is that if you are neutral, you will be swallowed by the evil empire , will ukraine join nato during the war estonia believes in ukraine

and the reconstruction of the european country destroyed by the war, the object country is preparing with the prime minister of estonia, kariya kallas. first, they gave all their howitzers, now here is a record amount of ammunition . of the defense budget, but how does this small country manage to do such great deeds without exaggeration ? an hour and in that the prime minister of estonia who who who welcomes

you to our film crew in ukraine , she is the first since the beginning of the full-scale invasion and this trip was quite full. the appointment chose ukraine as a sign of support and that it will become stronger ukraine is very dear to our heart i also believe that the great mandate i received in the elections is also a mandate to support ukraine in the future kavas position of support ukraine is so active that in some respects it can be compared with the british boris johnson. what is coffee? in march, she called on the european union to collect a million artillery ammunition for ukraine, and this decision was made quite quickly. in one of the interviews, you said that it took 5 weeks, how difficult it was to convince the eu members and what was the most

difficult - i think it is important to think about how we can help ukraine win this war because there is no other way out. and when i heard from the military industry that they there are no orders. and i know that the russian side works in three shifts, so we thought : what is the possibility of moving faster so that it does not happen that estonia buys ammunition, some other countries buy it, and then all this will come to us and we will send it to ukraine, it takes time but you don't have it so actually it wasn't that hard to convince others because everyone sees that we are with ukraine and we should do it faster tallinn suburbs people this year the ukrainian military is training on fh70 howitzers it's proven sometimes the artillery systems are equipped with their own engine and all because estonia decided to hand them over to ukraine and now they are already working

at the front in the spring tallinn announces a new package of military aid to ukraine in the amount of 500 thousand euros talking about rifles optical sights binoculars ammunition patrol boats thermal imagers as well as medical equipment and these are 155-caliber projectiles for the same howitzers . the country has already collected and is ready to hand over the million promised by the eu . deploy in a few months and a small one in a few days or even hours , which means that in a small country we can quickly make decisions and quickly implement them and that is why we are quite effective, it is clear to us that ukraine is fighting for its freedom, but it is also fighting for our freedom, so help to ukraine and help to our defense, so it is not only morally right, but also necessary for our own defense so that you

can fight and repel the aggressor . estonia helps ukraine not only with weapons and ammunition, it is the country that is the first to in practice began the reconstruction of infrastructure objects destroyed by the russian occupiers, in particular in zhytomyr oblast, one of the main projects is the restoration of the bridge in malyna and the construction of a kindergarten in ovruch larisa, what is important for this kindergarten is that it is exemplary, that is, it combines all european standards, therefore all the rules that operate in our kindergartens will also operate here , plus ukrainian standards and this is a model that can be used everywhere because we know that many kindergartens are destroyed and need to be restored. thus, this project easy to use and it also combines all the standards that will apply when you also join the european union. estonia plays ahead not only in the initiative

to help ukraine, but also in the isolation of russia, and it is clear. km of a common border with the aggressor as well as the bitter historical experience of losing our independence , the lesson we learned from the 1940s. when we lost our independence and our country consisted of the following we thought if we were neutral to what happens in the world no one will touch us but in fact if you are neutral you will be swallowed by the evil empire and we have learned this lesson we will never be alone again we are in all international organizations but we also help our friends when they need help at the beginning of this year estonia was asked to leave the russian ambassador and also

halved the number of their diplomats in the country. be interesting to the world in the diplomat , what is the current situation in the diplomatic relations between estonia and russia after the exhibition of ambassadors on at the beginning of the year, you know, i was not excited, the three who were called diplomat guma reduced the number of the embassy, ​​and these steps are also necessary for our own internal peace , because russia intends to create disagreements and create all kinds of chaos also within countries, and we do not need that to happen yes, on the contrary from estonia in many other countries of the european union there are still quite a few russian diplomats and they regularly promote the interests of the kremlin, which sometimes find the response of some european politicians

you communicate with dozens of politicians in the european union. do you meet supporters of the position that you should negotiate with russia so directly? but of course we sometimes hear about the end of the war . they say that war is bad. peace is good. i'm trying to explain it, peace for us began when people were deported, our property was nationalized, and our culture and language were suppressed, and this all happened. so, you know , peace and occupied territories do not mean an end to human suffering. human estonia also advocates bringing russia to justice for war crimes in ukraine, the international criminal court's arrest warrant for putin, in the opinion of k and kvs , this is a message to the kremlin that none of the russian officials have indulgences, how do you see the mechanism of bringing russia to

justice and what i am currently working on, this is responsibility not only for war crimes but also for crimes of aggression, the difference is that the crime of aggression is a crime of leadership, but we need a special tribunal, a special international tribunal, to prosecute these crimes, i.e. pursue also putin lavrov all the leaders of the exercise that decided to attack ukraine i think it is very important to break this historical cycle when russia attacks its neighbors everywhere as they have done it in history and if we do not hold them accountable they will do this in the future but a reliable guarantee of ukraine's security is membership in nato. what do you think and how possible is this entry before the end of the war ? this is a question that is often asked in ukraine, and we support ukraine's request for cooperation. in this regard, and

we are trying to convince others of this, we must have a clear perspective of joining ukraine after the war, firstly, i did not think that membership in nato was possible while the war was going on , secondly, nato is the only guarantee of security, if there are gray areas, the only guarantee of security is the fifth article of the treaty nato is here. despite being quite skeptical, there is still a certain intrigue about this. ukraine, both on the battlefield and on the international arena, every time proves that nothing is impossible. we will see nato in june during the next summit of the planned freedom of ukraine. estonia believes in ukraine. estonia believes in the victory of ukraine and we will support you only as much as necessary so that you can win and continue to live with a free market economy that is flourishing and in a democratic country, small estonia is causing

big trends in terms of volume and aid to ukraine you are an example of how a reliable ally works and that he maybe when there is strong political will artem kulya facts of the week ictv the only news in the occupied territories the kremlin is tightening the screws this week putin praised the decree allowing the deportation of ukrainian residents from the occupied territories who refuse to take russian passports, moreover, even the owners of the so-called passports of the dpr of the lpr should be determined. the reason here is not only in the search for people who are not loyal to the russian authorities, the reason is deeper. the upcoming presidential elections of the russian federation putin plans to show a brilliant result precisely at the expense of the voters of these territories stolen from ukraine , so they are immediately passported and entered into

a single electronic register that is part of the public services system, which in russia has already been called a digital gulag after putin's of the decree on electronic subpoenas, that is, now i just received a message in the messenger about summons of the military commissariat and everything is not outgoing and if you do not show up for the summons, they will search for you with the help of smart cameras, these are face recognition systems that stand in the subway in public places, well, china has been using such things for a long time by monitoring its own population in russia, before that there were only golaks , the real stalinist headquarters in the camps is deciphered as follows. this abbreviation is gulag. by the way, the decision to create it was

made on april 25, 1930, that is, in years history repeats itself in a new digital reality about stalin's gulag, its role and consequences for modern russia kateryna pavlovska gulag archipelago as the soviet system created labor camps the frost was strong and filled to 50°, and made news people lawless prisoners здесь не советская а здесь власть соловейская who of ukrainians fell into the millstone of repression, let's see how moscow and the belomorkanal were rebuilt with their own hands , the mortality rate was insane, and why, for hundreds of broken chisels and decades of arab labor , no one answered in his in my hands, a book about terrible times. this is a translation of my book in dutch. it is called kurkul. it is basically a novel about fedot
