. of the russian federation, under the condition of fulfillment of which by ukraine, russia will end the war in ukraine. therefore, these six points ukraine must refuse armed resistance, must refuse supplies of western weapons, must refuse to refuse to join the eu and the euro, before nato, the senate will further recognize new territorial realities, that is, recognize its new the occupied parts of ukraine, the territory must be granted state status and must adhere to the freedom of religion, i.e. legalize the russian orthodox church in ukraine. what do you think of all the demands, why now or conditions why is he the deputy minister of foreign affairs, why is it not from the president of russia, what is this about, please tell me about the level, let’s say, the measurement of at least some kind of adequacy in the kremlin, or let’s say, the correlation of what is happening there in

the context of the rendezvous of the special representative of china, also, of various of other initiatives there that are aimed at ending the russian-ukrainian war but again here, soon, there is a feeling that already there the heads of departments in the ministry of foreign affairs of russia will also publish their demands, so it is obvious to me that the level of some kind of acceptance of reality in the kremlin can hardly correspond to the fact that even there those who are trying to engage in mediation in one way or another discuss some specifics, that's why i actually didn't want to comment there, so let's say those things that i understood are unacceptable for us but i think that this

is also aimed at making such a contribution so that the discussion will take place in the western various and political circles of mass media. well, in those countries that are actually now included in the context of mediation such activity well, what are the frogs croaking in the swamp, this is their question, it shouldn't bother us at all . would be to agree to the territorial concessions of the russian federation, i, as a ukrainian, read it. this is exactly how, after that , the russians were also born with these five, six , uh, uh, points, uh, what is china, do we

really have to see in this country a russian an ally, based on their official statements, please well, i think that well, it is no longer a secret for anyone that china and russia are deepening their cooperation, the car is really being tracked, uh, and those who gave birth, which russia spreads there through its diplomatic circles , through the mass media, they lie down normally and china is taking advantage of the russian federation's position, these are still slightly different things, but as she said , on the one hand, of course, china is taking advantage of the geopolitical situation and is tying russia to itself, and economically, technologically, that is much better, but at the same time, thanks to this cooperation, russia can balance in one way or another, and this is also a threat understood by our western partners in the context of the russian-ukrainian war, so if this understanding did not exist, then there would be no true european leaders to heaven, this is the first, the second

, what i like about china's positioning , it is really unlikely that china sees the end of the russian-ukrainian war as a just peace, how do we see it for ourselves, why? the russian-ukrainian war, at the expense of which he can strengthen himself both regionally and in the geopolitical context, as well as blackmail western countries in part, because precisely cooperation is different, well, with russia, it can also be military. and i would very seriously assess such a risk. i think that our his partners evaluate him because of that, and in fact , communication with china intensified there, and mr. barel and pokron and ursula funderlyan and mr. shochi traveled last year, this is all just

a focus on china not doing such steps are better than bigger ones for the meeting of the russian federation, as far as i'm concerned, well here , in fact , i'm sorry, please, how mountains are the russian public in many ways. that indeed certain documents were signed there on the deepening of economic cooperation, in particular, allegedly, the kremlin is not satisfied with this, they say that it is not enough and not quite what they are counting on. and an interesting fact is how china treats the mixed wall, or can it be seriously considered there putin's successor, because there is already an understanding that this is all, it is not eternal in the kremlin, i don't think that we perceive something there as a figure who can really influence the maximum and on the domestic political context of russia, he is more defined as

a functionary in the hands of putin a and in principle, everything you say in the russian public is a bit indignant there because china always conducts its policy and calls it a cunning fox, that is, it clearly dictates the terms of economic, energy , and technological cooperation, because russia is now again after all, due to the sanctions policy of isolation, it does not have many options for maneuvers, and china is a very difficult partner, even under such normal favorable conditions, and i am sure that it can also be seen in the direction of intensifying cooperation with central asian countries, to the extent that it is now also practicing and e -e reduces the influence

of russia on this region , interrupting them in the competition unequivocally and making these countries much more interested in the power of financial support. or it is canceled correctly well, we will observe it is possible but again, we should not forget that, well, for china , the conditions are also favorable, which are now intensifying various directions of their work there in the context of logistics energy projects, as well as there are projects that again after all, they are aimed at obtaining the maximum benefit bohdan about sanctions , let’s continue by quoting the ukrainian voice of america service, a group of american congressmen wrote an open letter to joe biden, where he called on the american the president to use his powers to finally confiscate the assets of the russian central bank and immediately provide them to ukraine. the e-mail was signed by lawmakers from both leading parties in the united states. let us remind you that of

the russian currency reserves, which exceeded 600 billion dollars at the beginning of the full-scale invasion against ukraine , approximately 300 billion have been blocked. dollars in accounts abroad, experts say, also blocked certain personal fortunes of russian oligarchs about such a measure introduced sanctions for supporting the kremlin war, however, the exact figures of the blocked russian assets are not known for sure, well, 300 billion would not be too much for ukraine now , talks have been going on for a long time about everything for more than a year, but so far these talks have not had any results, when will it be done, please, will it be at all? well, i hope that a precedent will be needed here, at a minimum, that is, that russian assets, which should not only be blocked, but also used to support ukraine for reconstruction, this mechanism worked, actually, if it is from the side of the united states of america, this is the maximum

a signal for other countries, primarily for european countries, where in each country also, there are very large fortunes of russian or oligarchs there or state institutions there are also blocked, so we are not entirely satisfied with the time-stretching of such decisions. i think i researched this topic a little bit, i think that just it is easier to resolve the issue with the frozen assets of the central bank than even with the assets of the oligarchs, because, again, often our partners in the west complain that their legal system sometimes does not allow us to resolve this quickly and effectively the question is yes to take these assets of the up in a legal way, of course, and transfer them to ukraine, but what concerns the state assets of the russian federation by the aggressor state well , in my opinion, there should be a much simpler mechanism, tool, but first of all

, the political will on which the decision depends, mr. voda interesting, i recently read about iranian assets that were frozen in western countries after the islamic revolution in iran in 1978-1979. it turns out that there are also a lot of them, but for iran, a small country, about 100 billion dollars remain blocked and can ukraine also claim this money, taking into account the active participation of iran in the supply of weapons, well, in particular, in particular, in particular, in particular, unmanned attack drones that fly en masse to ukraine, or should this issue be at least raised by the ukrainian side, please ? i think that it is quite difficult in practice , that is, in theory, of course well, first of all, it is necessary for these civilized countries to recognize ira , for example, as a party, so to speak , to the russian-ukrainian war, as far as i

know. the policy should have been implemented relatively early, so let's say it is more effective, the first is the second. well, it's not quite that small country, it's quite a serious , powerful country that in its region affects a lot, a lot, what processes but at the same time, it's interesting about what you mentioned that these assets, as i understand it, are still frozen, and for me it is also a question , why has it been here for more than 40 years and no one is doing anything with them, using these frozen assets, etc. internally, the financial lobbyists of different countries give a lot of money to some, so let’s say there are also lobbies working out their russians work as hard as possible so that these

processes are frozen as soon as possible , don’t talk about them, but our task is to raise these issues at the highest level and also use various channels and tools so that there was a precedent one second and then the mechanism worked for the restoration of ukraine mr. bohdane here us president joseph biden commented on russia's placement of nuclear weapons in belarus journalists asked biden what his reaction is to the fact that the russian federation has placed nuclear warheads in belarus, and according to lukashenka, weapons are already moving through the territory of this country, which is sharply negative . what is my reaction? joseph biden answered how washington will react to such a move. did not respond in germany, the statement about the deployment of nuclear weapons by belarus was also called another attempt at intimidation, and here i remember the eurasian forum that

literally took place on the 24th, and where tokayev, kasim zhomar, is the one who now governs kazakhstan actually quarreled with lukashenka and putin because you don't have too many guys and nuclear weapons are one for two, it is customary to believe that the countries of central asia are satellites of china and did not , in your opinion, china speak with the mouth of tokayev in the direction of putin and lukashenka and in this way don't we now see an almost unified position of the united states of america, the states and china, which are converging? well, what they are doing with nuclear weapons, moving them among themselves , is not ok, neither for the states nor for china. well, in principle, it happened before, that is, nuclear weapons

states, and china is like that, they are primarily interested in the fact that there was no deepening of the conflict in the context of the risks of a nuclear nature, in fact, in principle, this is the policy, and china adheres to this in its public rhetoric. and really, only the context and incitement by the russian federation. we remember to intensify whether they threatened with their nuclear weapons the other day. china expressed quite negatively in public that before this , what we did not miss is really putting the whole planet at risk in the context of there of the nuclear threat. therefore, it has its own logic, what was noted is that kazakhstan and the president’s person are really leaking, and he is trying to balance. i would not say that kazakhstan is maximally only there in the orbit of china. even see how much they have
