[000:00:00;00] it's been a long time, so the defense ministers of the nato countries will discuss this issue at a meeting in june, this meeting will precede the alliance itself, which will take place in july in vilnius, and now we can say goodbye and then the espresso tv channel will continue serhiy rudenko and his verdict thank you literally in a few seconds we will start the verdict glory this is a verdict program for ukraine. my name is serhiy rudenko . good day and good health to all. today is may 18, 449 days of heroic resistance of the ukrainian people to the russian invaders . russia attacked kyiv at night. it was the ninth day. attack on the capital at the beginning of may, fragments of cruise missiles, probably kh1 and 555, which were launched

from the caspian sea, fell in the darnytskyi and dnipro districts, the air defense of ukraine generally repelled several waves of attacks by the russian federation this night, 29 out of 30 cruise missiles were destroyed in crimea, there was an explosion on the railway, self-proclaimed the so-called head of the crimean axion reported that wagons with grain left reik in the simferopol district, the special representative of china met in ukraine with president zelenskyi and with the heads of the state and in particular tntu ukraine's huawei said that there is no panacea for the opening of the war, and the end of the war will require the creation of conditions for a ceasefire and peace talks. meanwhile, the russian occupiers continue to lose manpower and equipment in ukraine, as of the morning of may 18, russia has already lost 201,100 people in ukraine in the last day alone the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 510

orks with the beginning of the great field, the russians have already lost in ukraine 3773 tanks 7373 armored fighting vehicles 3198 artillery systems 563 rocket systems of salvo fire 318 of air defense equipment 308 aircraft 294 helicopters 6.73 units of automotive equipment 18 ships of boats 982 cruise missiles 2759 days 418 units of special equipment so the night attack on kyiv lukashenko complains about zelensky and says that kyiv rejects any peace options and refuses to negotiate well, china 's peace for ukraine and beijing's proposals for russia and ukraine

, respectively . the ambassador of ukraine to belarus in 2010-2011 and the representative of ukraine in the tripartite minsk group in different periods roman immortal mr. roman good day good health to you and glad to see you on our air good day mr. serhiy let's start with a night attack another night attack because over the past two months or one and a half months , almost every night, russia has been carrying out massive missile attacks and shelling on the territory of the ukrainian state , in cities in particular and in kyiv, as i said , 29 out of 30 winged aircraft were shot down that night missiles, and the spokesman of the air forces in the armed forces of ukraine, yuriy ignat, reported on the peculiarity of the night missile attack. he says that

there should be only cruise missiles, although usually , during the last period, the russian side strikes with aeroballistic ballistic missiles. it is stupid, of course, to look for some logic in the actions of russian barbarians, but still, what goal are the russians currently pursuing by carrying out night attacks in ukraine and trying to actually destroy kyiv? because if there were no air defense, obviously part of kyiv would simply not exist today. in international relations, there is such a concept called power diplomacy . it is not surprising, but this is the case when the regularity is just that very often when certain diplomatic channels were activated where

certain diplomatic actions were taken by russia resorted to and the soviet union resorted to a similar tool, and this is the coincidence of the beginning of active missile and bomb attacks on ukraine by the moscow fiorer, which coincided with the trip of a chinese special lawyer to eurasia, ligueya, this is not just a coincidence, this is regularity and it belongs to this conceptual methodological doctrine in international relations, which is called diplomacy force or force vadimatiya, which very often in such popular literature is described as coercion of peace by force, and in fact it is

a demonstration of the fact that moscow figures in their friend the beijing dictator spoke during private meetings and during the last visit of the head of the people's republic of china to moscow, where they discussed, among other things , the topic of china's mediation in possible negotiations or meetings or dialogue here, each to his own the taste should choose the terms and it is obvious that this frenzy will last as long as the voyage of the whale from the delegation to europe lasts, because there are still meetings in several european european capitals ahead and it is obvious that this is another extra proof that this mission has absolutely nothing to do with it there is no way to achieve a result in accordance with the norms of international law. it is also obvious that this mission

is not a mission of peace. it is a mission, on the one hand , to solve the problems of china itself, and on the other hand, it is a mission of certain and certain intelligence action agreed between moscow and beijing, and it is necessary to understand that to expect results from such things is to engage in self-deception. including european colleagues that we should not expect any unique results from this mission . well, our own information was demonstrated

. once i want to say that there is no need to break up this mission and this intensification of bombing with absolutely all types of weapons , especially the capital, because this is actually what stands out from the ten-year war, that is that these days, when the mission continues, if the activity of bombing the capital increases, if even go back and ah, to talk about similar similar things, those that were announced in advance, they fell under the bombardment activism, i don’t even say there, even the negotiation process of the tripartite contact group was accompanied on the eve of the intensification of actions on the front line. therefore, in this case, fuhrer moskovskii does not demonstrate anything new. that is, this is a typical sovkovo-imperalist tool of conducting a negotiation negotiation process, in this case, accompanying the mission

of the special representative of china for eurasia. well, this is how we remember the past year, during the visit of the secretary general of the united nations, the gutters went to kyiv, shelled kyiv when our colleague vira virich from radio svoboda was killed, and it was a demonstrative shelling of the capital, but at the same time, mr. roman, during these recent shellings, russia also showed that the weapons of which they boasted were those shkinzhals that they are no longer like that and the hyper super-duper sound as they presented it earlier because even shoigu, i think, did not believe that the ukrainians shot down the daggers although the scientists also bragged, which, by the way , literally in the last year, the novosibirsk institute of applied mechanics and the people

who were developing hypersonic missiles were transplanted there. is it possible to say that russia has already shown the world everything it could show, especially in recent days, and that it is the only argument in them which is still such a weighty which they can scare the world, this is a nuclear weapon, to which there is a counterargument to this argument, and not one country , the first thing to say to the experts is that the dagger missile and the complex itself are well known. it was never classified as hypersonic, although it was often called so by experts they know this very well, i would make a different emphasis here on the capabilities of the russian space and rocket industry, they are absolutely, well, let's say so minimal, not if you take away from all this the scientific opinion and design developments that at one time

were made by ukrainian design bureaus similar equipment and it was clear that when ukraine signed the budapest memorandum in the early 2000s, and i will not reveal all these details now, but a number of specialists who worked at the time in research and design bureaus of ukraine were engaged in similar equipment, they would leave ukraine and again it's not my business to answer this question, it's up to the experts. they have a direct and negative relationship with this whole complex, about which there are a lot of conversations now. this is the first thing, but what should be noted is the obvious that the potential capabilities of the patriot complex, which were modernized, including with the participation of ukrainian specialists, are much

greater than what was said about it, and those who know how the eggies anti-missile system works, the anti-aircraft system that covers the sky, and those of the north atlantic bloc know very well that in this complex the main role is played by the petri system itself , and in this case, if you like, it is a manifestation of not only a duel of a war between russia and ukraine, it is a manifestation of a global duel in the world which is conducted between democratic countries, civilized countries, totalitarian systems, that is, now it becomes obvious that this is the example that shows that a-a scientific opinion, i’m not saying industrial implementation a-a in this competition between the united states and let’s say so , the ussr dash of the russian federation is nato there and

the dash is the russian federation, oh, it is clearly in favor of the united states and the countries of the north atlantic bloc, this is already one thing and it has been proven why such a positive emotional information boom regarding this incident, well, first of all, because the power of the dagger system was overestimated in the information space, like all the others who are connected in this tangle, and let's say what medals they were clinging to in the kremlin, expecting hope from this system, they were clearly exceeded. i emphasize this once again. the experts understood and knew about this. now there is one more thing that is being talked about a lot now, and at one time you and i would have formulated an answer to and this question is

the ability of the russian federation and the scientific potential to increase the power of this complex, the answer to this question is actually given by the picture that you are currently showing, these arrests not only happened now, it is now known about the fact that another detention took place in the last few days , but the detentions have been carried out for the past 5 years constantly when for all the way up to the arrest of these or that scientists who worked in these or that scientific institutions that were engaged in development, and this also applied not only to those who developed , released, adjusted e-e systems that well related to missiles, well, the space industry, this also applies to chemical weapons, including remember the situation with the sinking of a russian submarine, supposedly scientific experiments were carried out on it, everyone knows perfectly well what

kind of combat unit it was and why it happened. there were 9 generals, well, the shoots were generals, but in fact the diplomas were academics of karman, that’s what it’s about, that ’s what we’re talking about, and this is just extra proof that when you’re dealing with such totalitarian regimes, you’re a bully. they’re good at it. but with regard to the issue of high-class, high-precision equipment , you and i once talked about the extent to which, in relation to russian weapons, even such a concept as high-precision, high-tech weapons can be applied. that is, these are clear loans that were issued not only by the russians themselves the leaders of fyrem a and the world community in general, well, the accuracy of strikes was already understood a long, long time ago

, including hypersonic characteristics, well , everyone knew about this very well, but what is important here? i also i want to point out the first thing - this is the quality of western weapons that help ukraine. well, i'm not talking about the skill and class of the operators of these weapons. that is, this indicates that the weapons were modernized because ukraine does not just have patriots - these are systems that underwent modernization specifically to counter similar types of weapons , that's why it's nice for me when i see the surprised eyes of many american politicians there , but you have to understand that at the level of developers and those who produce this equipment in the united states a long, long time ago, there is no surprise, they understood the ability of patriot systems to counteract, including hypomz- hypersonic systems, that what we are dealing with is far from being a representative of a similar

category of liguey weapons or there is only a message from the ministry of foreign affairs of china that it is talked, including with zelensky, and talked about the fact that there is no panacea from, as they say, from the crisis, they call the war of russia against ukraine a crisis, and the end of the war , the chinese say, will require the creation of conditions for a ceasefire and peace negotiations, and china promises to help within the limits of his capabilities, as lihoy said, why do you think the ukrainian side does not comment on this visit, then from my point of view it is being done absolutely correctly, because everyone understands perfectly well what role it plays, well , forgive me, i said it wrong. many people understand what role beijing plays and in this situation, what trust can there be in the partner of the moscow filler or friend and her attempts

to take some steps, it is enough to read the so-called proposals, which for some reason are called china's peace plan, where everything becomes clear i want to reveal a little about this thesis of a well-known chinese diplomat lichwei who really devoted his whole life to work in the soviet republics in russia as a representative of the diplomatic mission of china, a very experienced person who knows very well what the soviet union is, what is the current russia, which has repeatedly signed up in mad love for all this, but i want to emphasize here once again. an eastern person, especially when we talk about a chinese, you must understand that they act according to the principle that you tell us well, we we speak

you are good. only we know what our interests are, and it is obvious that here it is always necessary to understand that the interests of china itself come first . what does this phrase mean, there is no panacea? it means that your position of the ukrainians that the liberation of the territory should begin is not an answer to the question here either. when you negotiate with such a partner who wants to act as a mediator, you have to meet together , the situation arose. it happened like that, phone conversations have already taken place, then you can't get anywhere from this. but once that happens, you have to be very careful, very balanced and understand what kind of dialogue you are conducting with such a partner, because the phrases are similar to the fact that there is no panacea, and they sounded parallel to

what at the security council, the chinese representative actually spoke in unison with the russian federation’s debacle, that is, there is a public side of the issue, and there is a closed side of the issue. the fact that china has never taken the position of publishing the necessary technological processes, which includes the ligway mission, this has been known for a long time, it is clear that it must be taken into account that the lichley mission is, as it were, a shadow mission of what wang and the current leaders, the head of the department of international relations of the central committee of the communist party of china, are doing in foreign policy, and this right hand i am not calling hann the minister of foreign affairs because he will stay in the shadows from this process, the fact that these bisons

with experience such as you and liguey will tread this path is causing a lot i have a serious concern because it is clear that it is suppressed not only by the interests of china, but also by the interests of communist dictatorial china . i am convinced that this is how the conversations were held, including about the next consultations of the leagues. i am with the president of france with the leadership of germany. i think that not only in poland, he will also visit somewhere else, because clearly or the day before, the van voyage took place there and what so i drove around all these capitals myself, with the exception of poland

, so what are we doing in this situation? it’s a little bit strange, it’s actually ligway’s desire to visit warsaw, and i was somehow so wary of it . i thought, well, what about the chinese? not yesterday's article on the semiakersh website is a famous american analyst who once again published an article, it belongs to a very peculiar tonality that is present today in the world's analytical centers that deal with international relations. but even starting there from the preamble, it is said that in the central european states, the closest allies of ukraine

, there are also some people who believe in the idea of ​​the need for some kind of dialogue, and the list includes poland. directly from the intelligence services of the united states of america, and he is known for the fact that he always cooperated, being already quite in such considerable years, but he also cooperated with the special services, and it made me think in fact, what and why is he going to france ? of course, to germany. it is clear. because certain notes were sounded there. and here is what he is looking for in warsaw. it is obvious what he is looking for. and he wants to make a cut . poland, lithuania, latvia, and estonia can also be included here. that is, these are the post-soviet states that were subjected to very serious pressure from the soviet union, which understand what the current russia is much more than anyone else. and

it seems to me that this section that will be made however, he is also important from the point of view of china developing its line of behavior in the future, but i say once again that this is a very dangerous partner and a very dangerous intermediary, and from my point of view, china should be considered like these people who were named as persons in the negotiation process who in principle, there are completely different intellectual and mental paradigms for ukraine, well, this is very dangerous, because we are even in a different temporalism for us. we need the speed of the chinese, they can sit on the shore and wait until everything ends with a victory for them in this in this case, i once again call for those who lead this process to be very, very careful . well, they actually thought through each step before

and the information does not come out. because, in fact , the ministers of kuleb talked about the disaster. i understand that it was more about certain of protocol things, and he can immediately tell even personal meetings with chinese diplomats, which i can’t imagine , because any chinese official always comes to meet with such an appearance of such a controller from the central committee of the communist party of the communist party of china, well, actually your photo you can even see who is present at the meeting with the minister's colleague, there are clearly inspectors of the central committee of the communist party of the communist party of china. well, if we speak with such communist party rhetoric, who are overseeing the evil-doer, even though there is no need for him, but at least they make the progress of what is being discussed, you mentioned that

that he is treating will be in poland in other days, he will visit russia, germany and france. as you have already correctly said, but he will not go to london, the question is whether what he thinks means what is meant by china thinks that london has a completely different vision of the world than in er, paris and berlin, you know when they talk about chinese diplomacy, ah, it adopted a lot of things from uh , many diplomatic schools, but the chinese simply do not tolerate uh, the british in uh, diplomatic behavior, and they very well, uh, can assess the position of london in general for china, the anglo-saxon world is associated not only with the united states of america, but primarily with the british, and that is why

it is a priori for the chinese to have this conversation, as it would be a waste of time, and not only that you and i perfectly understand the position of london forgive me for the fact that i use such a term in relation to our allies, but the british saw through much earlier what the european union is, such as the hunchback. what russia allows itself with such fuhrers as putin than anyone in the world , including the americans the chinese understand very well. and why did i smile when you asked this question because i remembered the situation at the end of the second world war, how london and washington advised china during the first world war to immediately join the entente, where japan was already located before what ah

such a state as china would not have existed at all if washington and london had taken such a unique step and since that time diplomatic services had developed such a peculiar relationship, yes, they exist, they are of a protocol nature, but they are too ritualistic for eh lihway to visit london with a similar mission , i.e. beijing understands well that great britain, the british government, the british monarch, the table, they have clearly defined themselves and they must be given credit for the fact that in the current situation, despite the fact that there is a change and there has been a change of the monarch and the three governments have already changed, but uh, they clearly took a position , and in fact, many of the conclusions that washington draws in relation to russian aggression in ukraine are based on this position, or with

china and brazil, which offered to exchange the peace plan for crimea, the ukrainians have another interpreter, this the republic of south africa together with a group of african countries this week the president of the republic of south africa from the ramaphosa series announced that both the president of ukraine and the president of russia agreed to meet with the group of leaders of african countries to discuss a potential peace plan, let's hear from ramaforsa, the two leaders with whom i had the opportunity to talk, that is, president putin and president zelensky, agreed that they would be ready to accept the mission of the heads of african states both in moscow and in kyiv. we could discuss how to end this conflict or whether it will be successful or not will depend on future discussions and we have a comment from

sergey lavrov, the minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation, we will also hear about this initiative, the initiative is being plastered the president of romafoza actually called president putin on the phone, and they put forward this idea of ​​the presidency, he is always ready to talk with all our partners who are sincerely interested in a stable situation in the world, so that no more similar provocations and similar attacks on international law and the rights of citizens do not occur. now, at the level of experts , the content of such an upcoming contact is discussed, its dates will be agreed upon, well, on the basis of general acceptance, as i understand it, and now , eh, in the context of the wishes of president amafoza we are talking about vocations of june at the beginning or in
