[000:00:00;00] president, what will happen then? i think that we cannot change anything. we cannot change russia. if putin remains the president, and that is why i really support the fact that we need to press sanctions until the putin regime cracks and crumbles, otherwise there will be no noticeable changes because we understand that the regime is not only putin , after putin someone similar to him may come . therefore, we must continue to develop and implement new sanctions in order for russia to be a country with a strategic economy long-term planning and simply could not function, these will be the changes that are necessary to change the global global situation. so we will discuss the long-term scenario, therefore, first of all, we need to provide ukraine with all the non-jump guarantees, and i actually

support this in my speeches even yesterday when i was in warsaw e- e i also visited kyiv and we had conversations about the need to send nato troops, we can send them to the territory of ukraine, but we cannot strengthen after the victory we we can send nato troops to the territory of ukraine, but we cannot change the russian regime. that is why we have to ensure security first and foremost, so put pressure on ukraine, continue to put pressure on russia with sanctions, and also secure the moldovan series and georgia. for this , to understand that negotiations with putin simply do not lead to anything, because now it is impossible to communicate with an international terrorist

. first of all, i think that there are not so many people which could support this kind of dialogue, and that is good because , as you know, over the years here in france, i have attended many different talk show programs and i have emphasized the fact that it is impossible to have a dialogue with putin because he is a terrorist. we also understand that there is a presence corruption yes, there is a kind of greed and here, taking into account these factors, we are talking about some kind of realism, this realism, which can continue to cause a lot of damage, in particular , regarding the perception of the truth in the west, and therefore it is important to actually promote the truth, and we hope that many lessons can be learned it was nicolas tenzer, a french political scientist, an analyst of international security and political

risks , that is the kind of failed negotiations with an aggressor and a terrorist. this is spotlight ukraine, the ukrainian version will continue. in hiroshima, japan, the countries of the group of seven confirmed once again that they will help ukraine in the war with the russian invaders as much as it takes, and russia must necessarily lose, however. more about this in our story historical summit of the group of seven that is how analysts called the meeting of the heads of state of the seven most influential countries in the world, which took place in the japanese city of hiroshima, and all because this time the leaders of the g7 met in the 7 + 1 format , the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky took part in the summit, so this time the main topic of the event was russian the war in ukraine and how the civilized world can help to end it faster, namely with the help of the ukrainian peace plan proposed

by president zelensky this was the collective position of the leaders of the group of seven sources who were those present at the meeting claim that this time there were not even hints about a possible compromise on the part of ukraine and concessions in the war with russia, and this can be seen from the statement based on the results of the summit, russia started this war and can end it, russia's aggression against ukraine is a violation of international law, in particular the statute of the united nations, we once again declare our resolute rejection of russia's illegal attempts to invade ukrainian territory, we emphasize that a just peace cannot be achieved without the complete and unconditional withdrawal of russian troops and of military equipment and this should be in any peace plan. but perhaps the most important result was the creation of the so-called fighter coalition, a number of countries agreed from the beginning to start training ukrainian pilots on western planes and later to hand over these planes to the armed forces of ukraine

. in addition, during the summit, the president of the united states of america joe biden announced the allocation of another package of military aid to ukraine in the amount of 375 million dollars and once again confirmed that allies with ukraine you know this morning i am once again confident of president zelensky, together with all members of the j7 and our allies and partners around the world, that we will not back down. putin will not break our resolve, as he thought about it two years ago. we continue to provide ukraine with economic, humanitarian and security assistance so that it can be as strong as it needs to be . it is necessary, so it is quite obvious that when returning to ukraine, president volodymyr zelenskyi favorably evaluated the results of the trip to japan and the 11 meetings he held there

and summed up everything in this way: he experiences our position the protection of security guarantees, the return of all our territories, the return of all our people, justice, the implementation of our peace formula in every point that is important for ukraine, we have the understanding of all world majorities and together we will increase ukrainian potential, but the reaction from moscow is a predictable manifestation of the leadership of the terrorist country, as always, accused the leaders of the group of seven countries of fanning, as it was called, of russophobic and sinophobic hysteria. in this way, it is not the first time that the result of a g7 meeting is politicized decisions aimed at delineating dividing lines in international relations, the group of seven was once an association whose members coordinate positions on various issues of the world agenda, but now it has irreversibly degraded, but the icing on the cake this week was the declaration of the nato parliamentary assembly on monday in luxembourg, representatives of the member countries of the north atlantic the alliance unanimously recognized russia's actions in ukraine as genocide and the terrorist regime in moscow

as racism, the declaration includes support for the international tribunal for providing assistance to ukraine both during the war and after it, the condemnation of the ideology of restoration of territorial integrity, the application of sanctions, the demand for reparations, the introduction of the marshall plan and much more, so that they do not speak in russia one thing is clear, ukraine, together with allies and partners around the world , continues to confidently approach its victory and ours and more about the g7 in hiroshima. and also about political aspects, obviously related to ukraine. i will talk to colt volker, former special representative of the united states of america in ukraine. congratulations thank you very much for the invitation. i am very pleased, mr. ambassadors. we are starting with the g7 countries in hiroshima. in your opinion, do you think it is historic, as it seems, really, if we

remember how it was in the past, it was a meeting of the g8 countries, but now , instead of russia, the president is present. zelenskyi is present in ukraine. therefore, this summit has its own symbolism. and besides, partners and friends of ukraine emphasized their help, their solidarity with ukraine, and also president biden gave the green light to his own training ukrainian pilots on f-16 fighter jets in the coming months, mr. basador, i believe and i think i am aware that our country will soon become a member of nato. but again , it is for the sake of the security of not only ukraine, but the collective security of the west and ukraine should become a member of nato as soon as possible, because it will the guarantee of our collective security is also aware that we will not become a member

of the north atlantic alliance as long as we are at war but is it possible to formally invite ukraine during the summit in june? yes, i agree with you and i think that ukraine now has an army that is the most experienced in europe, and that is why ukraine will already be such a powerful addition to the alliance . i still believe that putin believes that certain lands belong to the russian empire, that is , except for ukraine - these are also the baltic countries, and therefore in fact now we have to declare that there are no gray areas, because gray areas are a green light for putin to act, and that is why we are waiting , and during the summit in june , there will be statements again that ukraine will become

a member of nato, and the steps will also be defined. as well as a commitment from ukraine that it will be possible to do that and therefore, in fact, now is the time for us to start taking certain steps. yes, we understand that during the time when military and hostilities continue on the territory of ukraine , ukraine cannot become a member, but despite this we have to do everything to make it happen, and that is, there will not be such a formal invitation during the summit in june , so most likely it will happen. i have had certain conversations in recent weeks and many european allies are now really speaks out in favor of ukraine joining nato in the near future, they are more determined than ever but again, we understand that nato functions thanks to consensus, and so ukraine cannot join nato now because these countries do not want

to be drawn into the conflict themselves, and this i don't want, they don't want to initiate their own conflict with russia, but i hope that the commitments will be strengthened , unity will be strengthened, and again we hope that during the 75th anniversary of the next year yes ukraine will be invited to nato, this summit will be held in washington next year, and we hope that by then there will be success on the battlefield and we hope that this will be a great time to see obvious progress, what will happen after the f-16 fighters, we understand what a big step it is the provision of f-16 and that is why we are waiting for them. these are very powerful , state-of-the-art fighters and i am sure that

ukrainian pilots will perfectly master these combat aircraft, they will give a significant advantage to the armed forces of ukraine in controlling their airspace and therefore this is a very significant help that i hope will be provided to ukraine already this year, but what is missing is the lack of long-range artillery that has not yet been provided to ukraine. so this is a very big moment for helping ukraine to regain its territories and we thank you for all the help, we understand that putin actually already about the count, but he's in the car like that and he's trying to.

he started this war, he checked himself, made him believe that ukraine has no chance and no right to live a normal life, and that is why he began to act. that is exactly how and why now we must prepare to continue protecting the borders of ukraine as long as putin is in power, because he won't stop, he seems to have driven himself over the abyss into a dead end, and that's why i still think that as long as putin is in power, we have to prepare for everything . do you think that the russian people realize this? yes, i think so, considering everything that is happening in particular, there is kadyrov in the russian armed forces, there is prigozhin in grupo wagner, what is the relationship between the heads of the russian defense department, we see that they mutually blame each other, that is, really russian society does not interfere at all, people are trying to leave the country because they do not

want to go to the front in ukraine, they do not want they do not want to die there and such alarming signals from russia. so now is such a very difficult period for the usa, because they are now on the verge of default. this is the first time in the history of the country. please tell me whether the support from on the part of the usa at the same level as it was before, yes, it is very these are separate questions and that is why when we say that it will be possible to talk about default in the next week or two, there are no negotiations, negotiations are taking place in order to understand what formula to act on and in general to avoid photo that's why i'm still optimistic that we will manage to avoid this. when we talk about aid to ukraine, it was already agreed

accordingly back in september, and that's why it's a completely separate question, so no one will cancel the aid in ukraine, which was promised. also, we will see when the debt pie will be raised, as if we hope that a successful counter-attack will be carried out in ukraine, and then we will receive a new block of military and other aid to ukraine around september, and therefore i am really optimistic that this will all happen because in ukraine we provide really strong support and therefore i think that a certain vote will take place, the sooner it will take place in the fall and therefore we hope that there will be even more votes in favor during the presidential elections thank you for your help

there is also a lot of talk about the tribunal against putin and his henchmen, my question is not so much legal as technical , will it really be possible to physically bring putin to the meeting of this court, i think it is impossible . if it is intact , the putin regime will remain accordingly. enlightenment will not come suddenly for him and he will not repent suddenly he will not change anything if everything remains as it is , but in general it is very important for the international community to establish legal mechanisms and processes hearing in order to prove that russia has committed war crimes, in particular, genocide, genocide against the ukrainian people, and therefore when we put it all together, then it doesn't even matter whether putin is present or not, but there will be certain changes in russia by then, maybe even someone

from him and even he will be ousted from the presidential chair and my last question for today , mr. ambassador, russia threatens western countries if they provide ukraine with f16 fighter jets, but what will be the answer of the collective action, i think the answer will be like this yes we nevertheless, they are determined to hand over the fighter jets to ukraine, and we will continue to help ukraine to regain its sovereign territories, so if putin has now moved to the escalation of conventional means, we understand that he will continue in the future, because they have a lot of power, and therefore, in fact, we do not succumb to such provocations and threats this was a course volker, the former special representative of the united states of america in ukraine - this is spotlight ukraine, the ukrainian version will continue russian propaganda works

around the clock creating myths and fakes but we need someone to destroy these myths and fakes, and we have such people, they are our stop-fake partners, they help us take three fakes every week and then show that they are lies , so it will be and today i am joined by marko suprun, creative editor of ark.ua magazine, marko vitayu slava glory to the heroes of ukraine thank you for inviting the orthodox to ukraine let's talk a little more during the review of our second fake, now we move on to the first commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine , general valeriy zalozhny, has disappeared somewhere , actively spread this information the russian mass media lacks information and even came up with several versions of why zaluzhnyi does not appear in public, although in reality he disappeared only in the dreams of russian propagandists, we are looking at the alleged disappearance of valery zaluzhnyi, a number

of kremlin media outlets reported arguments and facts , wrote, beat, went for a walk, played pichmurky for the second day, ukrainian the internet is buzzing, where did their commander-in-chief valery zuluzhny hide , rumors about the removal of the general appeared even when he did not take part in a meeting of the nato military committee together with zuluzhny, they lost more two generals of the commander of the ground forces of alexander the syrian and commanded the four defenses of igor the dancer, propagandists put forward several versions why the commander-in-chief of the armed forces does not appear in public, in particular, the posts were eliminated because he did not earn zelensky's trust, he does not want to be responsible for the consequences of the upcoming counteroffensive and hid in the bushes, wounded or killed the last two versions fueled the statements of the leader of the pvk wagner yevhena prigozhina i do not have comprehensive information about what is happening now with

valery for luzhny, but on may 10-11 and 12 when he was in the range of our weapons, we conducted a series of measures, how successful they were is not yet clear, in fact, general zaluzhny disappeared. was it in the dreams of russian propagandists that on may 18, on the world embroidery day , a photo of him in an embroidered shirt was posted on the internet . and on may 19, the commander-in-chief wrote in a telegram that he had a telephone conversation with the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the united states, general mark milley, they discussed the effective work of the patriot complex in ukraine, the chief is on the spot doing his job , we just talked, this is a typical informational the technology is aimed at demoralizing our army, carrot please tell me why russian propagandists dream of it, maybe even every night they dream of the disappearance of general zaluzhny, well, this shows us that they are very worried that everything they have is this fake world that they have built so that it really develops and even russia itself it is starting

to fall apart, they are trying to strike emotionally with such fakes so that ukrainians perceive the liberation of the occupied territories and all these military operations and and unfortunately, it just doesn't work, because unfortunately, fortunately, it doesn't work, because we all understand that we have competent guys, we have a competent command, and we have partners from the west, and everything will be fine. ukraine will not only win, it will also liberate the entire territory to go back to the border of 91 years ago, such fakes around the involved or political elite is an attempt to strike at the consolidation that happened in the last few years and unfortunately they are interfering with their money, which will not happen soon

, i would say. fortunately, they are losing their money and which soon they will not have any more, well, this shows that they no longer have any imagination . well, it has simply disappeared in them , let's move on to our second fake. glory to ukraine, heroes, glory, this is not only a patriotic form of congratulating ukrainians, the slogan has also become a symbol of international of supporting ukraine in the fight against russian aggression, that is why russian propagandists are desperately trying to discredit our patriotic greeting, they call it the slogan of the nazis and the slogan of the bandera people, where did this slogan actually come from? let's see how ukraine is here ukraine is a japanese woman, so glory to ukraine, the slogan glory to ukraine from the mouth of the chancellor of germany made the russians quite angry, so olaf scholz congratulated the president of ukraine , volodymyr zelensky, when he received the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, on may 15

, the representative of the ministry of foreign affairs of russia, maria zakharova , immediately wrote about the poor education of the western elites , who do not hesitate to shout nazi salutes the poor education of western elites does not exempt them from responsibility glory to ukraine is the slogan of the nazis' rallying cry, it was adopted as the official greeting of the organization of ukrainian nationalists in 1939, later added a gesture in the form of raising the straightened right hand and a shout in response. glory to the heroes. this is how the bandera collaborators saluted with units of the verkhmat. when they entered the occupied lands, the russian propagandist in another twist of history, the organization of ukrainian nationalists and the ukrainian rebel army launched a war both against the soviet army and against the wehrmacht, but the slogan glory to ukraine appeared long before the creation of these organizations, the historian of the ukrainian national movement yury yuzych

writes the slogan glory to ukraine and the response throughout slava was used even among the kharkiv ukrainian student community at the end of the 19th century, it became widespread during the ukrainian revolution in the period of 917-1921, and in 2018 the verkhovna rada adopted changes to the statute of ukraine and the slogan glory to ukraine became the official greeting of our army which since soviet times used the same greeting as the russian army, however, it was russia that glorified our patriotic slogan to the whole world, foreign leaders now often use it on a sign of support for ukraine in the fight against the aggressor glory to ukraine glory to ukraine remember ukraine has become ukrainian marko allow me to help understand this fake because

i personally do not fully understand what is its purpose is it because russians believe so much in nazism in ukraine what is the need to just add oil to the fire, or maybe the russians are already beginning to doubt and something needs to be done, well, it is difficult to understand the mind of a person who lives according to the principles of schizophrenia, but this is my favorite fake by they really invested there are a lot of resources to create this negativity ukraine is a nazi or non-nazi nation or state and it has its beginnings a long, long time ago in the diaspora. i remember that in 1991 this negativity started that ukraine is nazi i follow exactly this and in the 19th year in the google system, if you search for ukraine as a nation there, it would

return almost 10 million e-e results, and in the 22nd year as many as 58, that is, the russian disinformation industry invested very great resources to develop this topic that we ukrainians are all nazis and i am so pleased to see that ours creators, artists in the creative group must have torn it to shreds with one blow, they did such a beautiful dissection, showing all the ukrainians, all the leaders of the european countries and in america and canada with the slogan glory to ukraine on their lips, it’s just a thrill for these people, it’s just a thrill, you see how ready russia is just spend spend the money that they will soon not have is not only a thrill - it is a kind of joy, an incomparable joy to watch how this money is simply thrown into the wind, but so

be it, well, let's move on to our on the third and last faiko today, the allies of ukraine seem to be sure of the failure of the future contrast of the armed forces of ukraine. the kremlin media said that nato military experts have no doubts about the defeat of the ukrainian army in the battles against the russian invaders. let's see. the former commander of nato forces in europe ben hodges thinks that western countries are actually aware of the catastrophic situation of ukraine at the front, so they have no doubts that sooner or later the armed forces will lose, writes the publication , twisting the interview of the american general business insider publication, in fact, ben hodges did not say a single word about the future failure of the ukrainian army, on the contrary, he positively assessed the effectiveness of the armed forces on the battlefield, but warned against excessive expectations that the future

counteroffensive will end the war, i would reject conversations that ukraine has one chance and if it does not knocks out russia, that's the end and everyone will say very badly and stop supporting them, hodges said, according to him , the idea that aid to ukraine will disappear if this offensive is not successful is a narrative put forward by politicians and players who do not they want to see ukraine as the winner or they want to end the war as soon as possible. consists in the fact that in the future there is a ukrainian side that we

can never, uh , get into nato, for example. the reality is the first, the second, they are also focusing on their own, that is, to give such a candy to the russians that even nato is not convinced of the village of the armed forces of ukraine , bengojis is the person who has been talking about ukraine for at least seven or 8 months will win and that ukraine can and will liberate the crimean peninsula. therefore, it also reminded me of such an anecdote, a joke, when one of the leaders, er, how to know, er, that they are lying to us, well, their lips are moving, and this is the fact that when something from those main sources indicate that nato is in doubt

you can be sure that she understands very well and is very confident in the strength of the armed forces of ukraine and that we all here should simply believe in the armed forces of ukraine uh-uh they took place today 12 meetings uh-uh in rammstein this is a contact protection group of what is it called, and austin said that by now more than 65 billion military aid has already arrived in ukraine , this is a sign that they are all very sure that we ukrainians can, we can and we will liberate all the occupied territories and that there will be a very good future where ukraine will be dis- prosperous and everything will be fine. we just have to understand that when the armed forces of ukraine have the appropriate tools that the russian side
