[000:00:00;00] express we're going further, it's half past five to our conversation kateryna shymkevych candidate of historical sciences and expert of the analytical center for balkan studies good afternoon ms. kateryna ms. kateryna we will talk eventually about the situation between serbia and kosovo and about how international organizations , in particular nato and the eu calls them to dialogue , you must be watching the events in these countries all the time. in your opinion, how tense is the situation between them now, because here we have already reached comparisons with the situation in ukraine. with ukrainian because these are completely different contexts. but the fact that this time the escalation is much more serious and radical than

the previous er times, it is already obvious and they could see that the kosovo police moved to more decisive actions er, hiding behind the necessary er- let the newly elected mayors work. and here already quite radical statements from the traditional western allies of the government in the desert began to sound to the self-proclaimed citizens to stop provoking the service. the situation is much more complicated than in the previous year. by these rallies and by the dispersal of the rallies, because when the demonstrators become more active and the police appear, we know even from our history, we know what can happen. well, i wouldn't give any predictions

because this is kosovo, serbia after all, but what will come to a military conflict uh, this is uh, well, 90% of that won't happen, but now uh, the situation must develop in the context in which the states and european sums are seen as connected, and the ambassador must fulfill the terms of the brussels agreement, that is, leave in such a creation eh associations of serbs, now these committees, about which there is already a lot, and this is precisely here, a key fund that annoys the government, grapes, it constantly refers to this point, ah, because the first six points of the brussels until the 13th year are precisely dedicated to these associations and

cover in the desert is always looking for an excuse not to fulfill this point, referring to the fact that it does not provide that the administrative system will not be violated, but this very point is the subject of constant disputes about the latest investments between and through this is, of course, serbia this time it received more support from the western allies of kosovo, that is, the european union, the european council, nato, and the united states, they actually blamed everything for the escalation in the north of kosovo and put it on the ground, so we should expect more pressure on the kosovo authorities because they finally fulfilled all the clauses of the brussels agreement devoted to the formation of service municipalities. why do we want to do this? the government in the desert is. it is

obvious that they do not want reinforcements in belgrade and on the territory of kursova, according to alpin's statement. the guys don't want the appearance of the insurance report of the serbian a-a volcano well and so on, that is, the authorities of pristina delayed this moment in every way, but at the moment it is such a key point that will confuse the united states of the european union, that is, press press for a week ms. kateryna look well, the armed forces of serbia are brought in a state of combat readiness, we understand that the situation can get out of control, we understand that if there is a confrontation between the police and the demonstrators, it is one thing if they join the case, god forbid, of course, but kalashivs, anything can go wrong, so to speak

predicted scenario, i am not asking you to conduct uh this or that futuristic synthesis yes well, because it is senseless in the current situation, but if we talk about the level of your sense of escalation, then on a ten-point scale it is now eight seven six nine i would say that nine i would say that 9 because, er, er, serbia is showing readiness, but serbia will not move to the administrative border, but the escalation is exactly what i would estimate that it is enough, but not in such a way that will provoke belgrade and convince the administrative border. why is it so, well, then the serbs will be accused of not fulfilling their obligations regarding the normalization dialogue, serbia may lose the support of the european union and funding from european funds , which are now critically important for the community, the narrower can try again

uh, declare that he will do it too, that it is necessary to introduce troops, and serbia is ready to do everything because the authority narrowed down in the last week , which faltered, he even left the concept of his own park, uh, but serbia, in my opinion, not that is, it will move to the administrative border with a person, this will not happen. i quite agree with you, but we understand that the serbian state and serbian society have always been somewhat different things, unfortunately, that is , the serbian authorities can try to control the situation, but not always the serbian authorities can control those or other structures that at one time buried, forgive me for the banal story of archduke franz ferdinand, and it is possible that the willingness of the president to use the armed forces of ukraine in the pupil - this is not so

in quotes, of course, a military provocation war with the kosovars is possible, but also in order to try to maintain certain structures that may have an openly pro-russian character in serbia, such a certain right-wing radical environment that has contact with moscow and certain small arms , so it is a very difficult situation comment, please, well, the situation is not settled, we have already seen it, and in the winter, the situation also escalated at some border points, and there were even clashes with the police. what kind of right-wing radicalization? they provoked the russian police, they provoked the kosovo police, and there were skirmishes, and one of the checkers was fired there, but it did not come to the point that buchach promised to introduce it again, and there were other cases of the same last year, when the troops were sent to serbia on

high alert it's not only last year, and it's been a long time since two weeks were spent in the border crossings and flying planes to the actor , the situation was also quite difficult, and then the chance of serbia's intervention and the crossing of the administrative border was much more than now it’s simple if you hit eh, yes, i understand what you’re talking about, that it’s russian special services can help there as well, oleksandr bulling, who is an open supporter of moscow, and he acts as a russian spy for serbian structures, and he can push for radicalization, but participation may threaten serbia now, brac weapon in my opinion, they

will not resort to crossing the border because, again, it will receive sanctions from the european union, and vluchich is trying to sit on the chairs to demonstrate er-er there are er-er experiences of equilibristics, but er-er he will not give in to such an intervention. moreover, serbia is now positioning itself as a party that clearly fulfills all er-e points of the brussels agreement and previous agreements on normalization , that is, serbia is now in precisely the highest favorable situations than services, because they blame precisely that the escalation was arranged by the kosovars and you can look at the statement of korzh today, they also put the responsibility on the kosovar government and

strengthened the presence in three municipalities and additional e peacekeeping units near a-a mary and called on the authorities kateryna shymkevich - yes, please, the continuation simply reacted to this situation, they just strengthen the presence, this is what the e-e participation is about, i constantly emphasize that the tour should react, the patient reacted, increased the partial presence by taking the administrator of the building under guard and having established a certain border between the service protesters and the kosovo police, that is, i was already convinced that there was a transition, but in my opinion , there will be no border, so that this sharp serbian corps a-a dishes thank you, but in any case, we understand that it is not necessary that this or that provocation should be carried out by these or other official formations. well, let's hope that , on the contrary, everything will be fine and everything will pass, although the situation is extremely tense. kateryna

shymkevich was in touch with us candidate of historical sciences , expert of the analytical center for balkan studies, an extremely productive conversation. belgorod region of the russian federation, according to representatives of ukrainian intelligence, these units acted independently and did not use western weapons, what is important is whether ukraine benefited from this situation from this raid and whether we can expect new such raids by russian volunteers, let's see now together in the story, these videos appeared on the morning of the 22 on may 1, fighters of the russian volunteer corps stand near the signs of the settlements of lyubimivka, bezlyudivka, and churovych of the bryansk and belgorod

regions, be brave and do not be afraid afterwards что мы вчорскаяемся домой россия будет свободный later, russian volunteers reported the liberation of the settlements of kozinka and gora podol, that in the belgorod region and the administrative center of graivoron , the advanced units of the red army went forward and this graivono was protected by only 25 russian soldiers, of whom there were three officers, and the rest were contract workers and the lion's share were conscripts in general who never knew how to deal with the protection of allocated areas did not help belgorod and its line of defense, the so-called dragon's teeth, according to the governor, it was built

for 10 billion rubles , the possibility of these protective structures is minimal, because they do not protect the soldiers for the line of defense. the legion of freedom of russia and the e-e of the russian volunteer corps until the russians liberated their own territory and the governor of the belgorod region reassured the people , russian propaganda was silent only on the eve of the kremlin companies began to explain to the russians, what is happening at the workplace, we will solve all the problems with you . in the first place of our audience

, where did such a panic come from, why are you speeding up again ? what happened, yes, the problem. well, this is a war , and what do you want? чем всё находилось in the region, the russians urgently implemented the edelweiss plan, raised the alarm, raised all the security forces in the region, later panic only grew in the region, the bicycle mode of the counter-terrorist operation . the place where the russian volunteers crossed the border is not accidental . the belgorod-22 facility, where nuclear munitions are stored, is located not far from gray crow. however, ukrainian intelligence says that the russians managed to remove dangerous projectiles , in fact, it is difficult to say now whether

the belgorod-22 e-e object was the object of an attack by the russian volunteer corps, an object in principle it is important because tactical nuclear munitions are stored there. but the russian side protects this structure well enough, and i think that it is unlikely that the corps set itself the goal of filling it with tactical nuclear munitions in order to at least somehow calm the residents of the belarusian region. they canceled the counter-terrorist operation in a day. imaginary terrorists were destroyed by the emigration strike operations. artillery fire and active actions of the unit covered the state border of the western military district. nationalist formations were blocked by invincibles, the most active phase of the operation of the russian volunteer corps and the legion freedom of russia in the belgorod region has ended, the fighters returned from the russian federation with trophies, weapons and equipment, in particular

, they captured an armored personnel carrier 82a, they managed to go 42 km deep into russia, they controlled some settlements for a day and a few days the weapons that we took are captive , yes, yes, the big trophy is an antidon cannon, because we don’t have it. we didn’t give it to you until now, it’s expensive, now it’s with us есть главное the most important thing is that there are no losses directly in the russian corps, and the next plans are the new territories of the russian federation, which we will definitely enter, and, well, by and large , you need to have a little bit of patience , wait literally a couple of days, and i think the basis of you see us on the other side , we believe that such a strategy of raids will be spread further , because it is actually aimed at distracting russian forces, attracting reserves, creating a fire pit in russian

villages. i think that this tactic completely complements the preparation of the armed forces of ukraine to carry out large-scale operations in other directions dmytro didora tv channel espresso thank you dmytro vidor for this interesting plot, the events of the last days have been refreshed in our memory, so to speak, and now we will include pavel usov, a figure of the belarusian opposition, a political scientist , glory to ukraine, dear mr. usov, long live belarus glory to the heroes of ukraine well, we have once again started to worry about the state of health of comrade lukashenko , he will not go here either .

good, some recent but verified news , yes, because lukashenko was literally buried in absentia during the last couple of days for belarus, let the issue be resolved, jonna did not decide, as always, the pirate was put in front of the ego, the weapon will be and as we can see , the issue was not even resolved . deon didn't appear again for a couple of days, but the information is fratuye что зимние что там критичная старился в меня at the moment i was filming unfortunately, look at the belarusian oppositionist valery tsepkalo, i don't undertake, so to speak , to check or evaluate the level of credibility

of him as a source, but here he is literally fresh the information is not today. the truth is that i am clarifying from the 28th, from yesterday, i am quoting tsepkala based on the information tsepkala has, which , of course, requires additional confirmation. lukashenko , after meeting with putin behind closed doors , was urgently delivered to the central clinical hospital of moscow, where he is now recovering from a condition assessed by doctors as critical, the best specialists were sent , a blood wash was performed, lukashenko's condition was recognized as not transportable blah blah blah and so on and so on and so on should have diverted speculations about the possible participation of the cream in the poisoning of lukashenka. who is this snitch ? and what kind of information is this and for what purpose did he publish it? i can deny that this

information appeared because it was precisely about lukashenko's health problems again, and that he doesn't die right away, everyone on the cec channel valery, interestingly , you were a candidate for the presidential candidates of belarus in 2020 who were not registered, who would be the system's functionaries in fact, lukashenko's vacuum worked for 30 hours in some system that i created , which is different, why did this information appear , as if it was actually inviting the fact of the appearance of nuclear weapons in belarus. how was the signing of the house on the placement of nuclear weapons in belarus? these living lukashenkos of the peace type were only pondering

. i think that this is an informational certain cat , uh, here is goethe, the tension is not satisfied with false reactions , where were you updated? threatens belarus, and there are gossips that he has been poisoned there once again so that you are murderers , eh. he is inside belarus, there is no information about what is in what condition lukashenko is in. unfortunately, i do not i had time to check uh, all the information, just in kyiv there is a rocket and everything here was taught with everything else, the priorities of the heads further on, probably there are already so many connections, we don’t have this information for the fact that it needs to be presented 10 well, formally

at least it is necessary to have time to congratulate cardigan from feromova in the elections i was one of the first in the e group, i congratulated s keramoy kolit nasambre the situation was very critical - this is a skill , i think that even formally such applications were absolutely lukashenko, where the belarusian confirmation, i am probably the next one step you wait is connected with the ironing of russian interests in belarus, the introduction of 1 currency of the russian ruble, this is another process

of the occupation of ukraine. the health of their president lukashenka , as announced, that is, on rumors, on information about a supposed hospitalization, immediately appeared on the violin and thus demonstrated that everything is fine, the country is in good hands and the president works, and besides, this president is starting to sell nuclear weapons here too, he offers nuclear weapons to everyone who joins his union with putin, the answer of the kazakh president, who said that this is a cool joke on the part of lukashenka, how that is, it can be considered that lukashenka and all this whole idea of ​​unification of russia are no longer taken seriously. and doesn't this show that even those eastern countries that previously

at least visually supported this union are already trying to distance themselves from it because i, thanking the tired union, drank at least the holidays, formal agreements that existed, the occupation of belarus took place in the name of the troops used by belarus , which we turn to for the aggression of ukraine and the deployment of nuclear weapons, and the broken union , all other countries that leave the sndts in the jubilee bond, eh, as a threat to their own sovereignty, they are trying to distance themselves, of course, takaya killed himself, like, well, ordinary eh , such asian satras, asian politicians and your namesake, because no one is like yon helmi, well

he understands why i can be late because it will be there just the same er excuse me in the 22nd year in the studio before the start of the aggression in ukraine the event of the so-called villages of special er special regulators who oleksyl respects the radical council of kazakhstan showed how the country can lose here russia was forced to withdraw its first method of skill in front of ukraine , but russia was able to demonstrate its strength , and he said it himself, that this is a unique project.

come on, the union, and we will give you about weapons, give them this, he understands that such bows are playing, it is very dangerous, a dangerous thing, or i see that uh-uh , ukrainians who are leaving the exchange station uh-uh, kyrgyzstan, there is no force now, they simply announced that they would not irritate moscow, because after all no less on the fact that moscow will lose in ukraine, unfortunately, the threat to other countries remains medium, large, different hybrid operations there are cool gents , registrants, and in the same kazakhstan, the systems are unmanned and stable now, well, i give the situation for the average connection of ukraine, which we we are now watching the beginning of war with the taliban and iran, it is also dangerous for me and the presence of the russian justice may increase but together there we are watching

intensively the search for an alternative system of kazakhstan. those spoils that the georgian people will be able to hold on to after the 2003 revolution in armenia , we are seeing a confrontation ... i wanted you on a simple basis in russia, the federa with the additional complexes are not waiting for lukashenko to visit the kasu kalinovsky regiment on the territory controlled by the lukashenko regime, so by analogy with

belohorodshchyna s400 . just like that, for practical nuclear strikes, the is-400, which can be used dangerously directly for ukraine from the cander, well, of course, lukashenko is drawing not only the iskander or the s-400, but acording to the border with ukraine and even closing the border with russia, he was afraid of the lukashenko government, what half-pylinovskogo can bring the press territory of russia to belarus is such a game of dignity . here i am not far. of emigration was working now live on the espresso tv channel , oksana vysochanska and i are going further, informing

about all the most important events of the day. putin legitimized the elections in quotation marks. of course, the deportation to the occupied territory of ukraine, he signed amendments to the law on martial law, which allow elections to be held in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine and to resettle and actually deport people from there, so now the possibility of forced and controlled movement of citizens from the territory where martial law is imposed to territories where martial law is not imposed is also allowed to hold referendums and elections to the so-called bodies of state power and bodies of local self-government in the occupied territories if the central election committee of the russian federation, and it will be possible to do it both on the entire occupied territory and on some specific part of it. well, the president of the republic of kazakhstan, kasim zhomar tokariv, extremely delicately sent

lukashenko and eventually putin to the direction of the russian ship. if everyone talks about subtle english humor, then kazakh humor is not inferior to the british . so, i quote the direct speech of the president of kazakhstan the other day. the president of belarus lukashenko offered kazakhstan to join the union state. the official website of the president of kazakhstan, i think there is no need for this, since there are other integration associations related to nuclear weapons, so we do not need them. since we joined the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons , the method of the president of kazakhstan is extremely important . eva melnyk thank you colleagues , i will tell you about the most important thing, i will start with the fact that the men who filmed the work
