[000:00:00;00] and before, this scenario consisted in provoking a direct conflict with the nato countries and then trying to get out of the war completely through negotiations with nato, knowing that nato is ready, the bloc is ready for negotiations because it does not want to fight, and in this way actually bypass this ukrainian, i don’t know how to say no flexibility, yes, for such russian opinions regarding the readiness for negotiations on some compromise terms, but this is only part of the issue, in my opinion, and it is still

unknown but in fact, will putin be ready? uh, the adventure that he has now developed. actually, to implement it in practice is another issue that few people are talking about now and few people mention . three positions three

second position is to take all the prisoners captives and russian and ukrainian prisoners to their territory and to take care of them and the third issue is the zaporizhzhya nuclear plant, that is, china wants to play a global role of global mediation and eh well, it seems that everything looks so kind of good, but on the other hand, eh china can quietly introduce the same eh compromise solution, about which there are now many eh western changes well, and today the same in your compost a mass of such e-e various e-e publications about what if ukraine is ukrainian

defense forces will not be unable to, let's say, at least cut off russian groups and reach the sea, then, in principle, kiev will be forced to sit down at the negotiating table. there is such and such a prediction. actually, as far as i'm concerned, it began to be prepared somewhere at the level of zelensky's december visit to washington. when it became clear that kyiv would not agree to a compromise in order to actually end this war at the level of russian withdrawal. their troops are at the level of february 22, and will strive to liberate and liberate crimea eh donbas a-ah so actually, ukraine received almost only those weapons that allowed the security forces to launch a parity war eh but eh made it impossible eh to liberate crimea and the account of western weapons is a certain surprise so i wanted to clarify sorry and

what did i, maybe i didn’t understand you ? e president of ukraine offered three scenarios the end of the war, and none of these scenarios provided for liberation except for gas, and he rejected it quite well. well, i don’t want to say harshly. i don’t know how it happened, but there are so many testimonies that it was exactly what he rejected. in fact, zelensky cannot accept such a proposal because he is now forced to look at the reaction of society, and society is now sharply negative about such a possibility as refusing the liberation of crimea and donbas

. yes i think that exactly at this level, that's why at the beginning of the 23rd year. well, actually, not at the beginning, but sometime from february, zelenskyi would think very seriously about launching ukrainian domestic production, and very serious work has begun. well, serious work is still in progress, and such movements in this direction, and why do i say no? at first, i think that there were fluctuations, when the tank option was unlocked and the west began to talk about the readiness to provide tanks, we remember the statement of reznikov, who said that after of

tanks, rammstein will be next and that will be it the decision on the allocation of aircraft in ukraine, none of this happened, we have planes for the 24th year and the issue is very, very far driven, and the issue of missile attack from the hammer launchers, this is operational-tactical missiles with a range of 300 km, is also driven to a dead end, although we remember that at the end of may, oksana markarova, the ambassador of ukraine to the united states, said that the rhetoric had changed. i think that the rhetoric could have changed when the ukrainian e- e counteroffensive and e situation that was greatly strengthened in june when prigozhina took place. i think that there was great hope for this in the united states that something would be resolved, and then, as a matter of fact, there were several statements that we were thinking about whether or not to give the missiles. the question has now died down, let's say it is in a stalemate in an unresolved situation, so there was no decision to support the liberation of crimea by ukraine, and we remember the last very powerful interview of our head, general zuluzhny, who said that he would liberate crimea in any way

. was the response of the event and the response of the institution about readiness and exactly when the interview came out at that very moment, strikes on the infrastructure in crimea began along the crimean bridge, and these strikes were ukrainian weapons. unfortunately, not as many as we would have liked, but it happened demonstrably, and i think that in the west it was perceived as, well, the nuts of the pillows, the readiness of ukraine to go to the end, that is, how can all this affect the beginning of the grain agreement , yes, first of all, the position of china, what will the very important factor of china look like? whether china will

achieve the possibility of this further negotiation putin, putin's serdogan are possible, yes, how will they end, what will the positions be? and finally, the level of putin himself, will he take it upon himself to be ready to do something with these civilian courts, and, in fact, nato 's level of readiness ? he pressed on the brakes, that is, he will

act very carefully even if the ship some kind of civilian ship will be attacked or destroyed, or something like that will happen, then it will definitely not be a ship of key nato players who can answer, it will not be a british ship, not a turkish ship, well, relatively speaking, maybe it will be there under the flag of some country, you know. well, we have already started with the fact that separately and it is starting to scare that they will be there all the ships that will be considered as potential potential allies of kyiv in the black sea, but there is also another statement, in particular, british intelligence today wrote about the fact that the blockade ukrainian ports also carries risks for the russian fleet. and the department assumed that ukraine can also react in some way to russian ships, and the ministry of defense of ukraine generally stated that starting tomorrow, all ships that will go to russian ports or to ports in the occupied ukrainian territories will also be considered by kyiv as military cargo with all the corresponding risks . what can kyiv really do and let's assume that kyiv is ready to somehow attack russian

ships the black sea has something. well, for now of course political such an exchange of such political such courtesies yes eh and so far it is so at the level of eh politics of diplomacy yes such reactive diplomacy eh but if we assume correctly that the production of missile technology the missile program was launched in our country in may eh in may the last day of may 22nd of the year eh official but on the one hand it is known that ukroboron actually overwhelmed it and actually speaking eh and the release of gusev himself many people associate precisely with the failure of a specific program, but

the missile program had many components and one of the components is the production of which ukraine already knew about us. i mean the neptune complexes that have two 70 km, that is, the missiles that killed the moscow cruiser. well, i think that it is possible. the second is, after all, ukraine has made a lot of progress in the production of drones and marines. well, i mean, two spl pilot and underwater basing were also demonstrated during this creation of the braven class under the banner of the ministry of digital

transformation. we are powerful so e-e combat parts of 500 kg, let's say it's solid, then there are also boats without pilots, which have up to 500 kg of warheads. and of course, i can't know how many electrons there will be. if there is an attack, that is, you want drones, yes, at the same time, this is a powerful enough force to deal with . ukraine has already received cluster munitions from the usa

explain to people who are not related to the army to the military what their advantage may be now and how they will help the armed forces of ukraine. it is about artillery ammunition, such small explosive objects inside one ammunition, and when it bursts, of course, those elements also tear, but they fly away, and that is, my impressions of the osb of the government and some kind of equipment. i don't know how effective they will be. well, that's all this is of course a very good move in the united states. there are about three million such munitions in the united states. the united states did not sign this agreement on the prohibition of the use of such munitions, and russia did not sign them, and ukraine did not sign them

. besides, russia in the 22nd year very much in the 22nd year uses cluster munitions, and therefore there are no such moral reservations or legal there are no reservations here that this weapon is a little more powerful than conventional munitions, that's why, that's why it has to strengthen our land-based ground component and improve the offensive potential. well, that's about it, but it's a tactical level, it's also necessary to understand that it's a tactical level, and it's not missiles. what is the need for missiles because there's no time ?

and german rockets by german taurus cruise missiles, if we had it, it would be a powerful psychological pressure on russia and a powerful pressure on putin himself due to strikes on the infrastructure of crimea, that's the story, that's why they don't help us, not as much as we would like, and what i said, general will, remember 98% readiness, they handed over weapons for the offensive, nothing like that, even in the first days of the offensive, it turned out that less than 15% of the means of demining were needed, that's why all the games , yes, i understood, thank you valentyn batrak is the director of the army conversion research center and disarmament, we talked about the results of russia's withdrawal from the grain agreement and the advantages of cluster munitions. and by the way, the use of cluster munitions is also confirmed

by the military themselves, with whom we managed to communicate with reuters journalists. the day before, a team of journalists visited the positions of the 14th separate mechanized brigade, which is fighting near the flintlock. to receive ot er and already in the future there even today we will work with them, roughly speaking, for the evening there or for tomorrow morning, well, cluster munitions will be given. they have a very advantageous feature, they can cover a very large area where a lot of manpower is accumulated there, or light and armored vehicles, and with their help it will be possible to stop and also

help our infantry to advance, e

. take positions they are attacking they are constantly attacking we are helping our infantry to hold their positions well we are suppressing the offensive we are repelling so at this moment i urge you to subscribe to the pages of radio liberty if you are just now watching us on the internet on youtube well and like this broadcast the youtube algorithm works in this way the more likes the more people will know about us well we continue to investigate the topic of ukrainian grain exports two days after russia announced the suspension of the grain agreement of 5 central european countries the european union, bulgaria, hungary, poland, romania, and slovakia jointly appealed to the eu to extend the ban on the import of ukrainian grain after september 15. and polish prime minister matushmarovetsky threatened not to open the borders with ukraine for grain products after september 15 if the european commission itself does not extend this moratorium in the ukrainian

sea . volostka correspondent of radio svoboda in natalka of poland my greetings to you i congratulate my colleagues everything that harms polish agriculture must be blocked changed or compensated now yesterday the prime minister of poland held a meeting with the ministers of agriculture of the five bordering eu countries regarding the import of the source in ukraine it is said exactly as we mentioned about poland hungary slovakia romania for bulgaria the ministers met in warfarm and discussed the eu decision to resume imports from september 15 so poland is in this

prime minister-merovetskiy questions announced that he will not open the borders for ukrainian agricultural products because the negative consequences of the war in ukraine should not have a negative impact on poles and polish farmers and the government will do everything to protect them . kah in relation to others goods, we will do the same because the polish government is obliged to protect polish farming, this is not against ukrainians, it is for polish farmers, if

poland provides transit, the poles earn money from this and 30 does not threaten to destabilize the domestic market. therefore, this export is simplified and transit is possible . among them they are afraid of low prices e the situation is also heated up by the fact that russia came out of the grain agreement, according to experts, ukrainian grain issues have become more acute due to the arrival of parliamentary elections, the approach of parliamentary elections in poland, and it is certain that a solution must be sought

through a compromise. did not interfere cooperation as the eu countries, despite different competing interests, cooperate in the same way. i hope it will be the same with ukraine. i will add that the ukrainian side is outraged by poland's decision, and prime minister danishmigel called poland's plan to block the export of ukrainian grain an unfriendly and populist step, which by the way, only a few days ago it was known that the prime minister of ukraine should be in warsaw today to compete with the reconstruction of ukraine , but a similar grain issue prevented this visit from a colleague. thank you very much natalka natalka volosats ka the correspondent of radio liberty in poland told us about the position of the polish government regarding the e-e import and transit of ukrainian grain through poland

. can you offer it now? we will talk about this, olga trofimtseva, acting minister of agrarian policy of ukraine in 2019 and ex-ambassador on special assignment of the ministry of foreign affairs, joins the broadcast. good evening. greetings, olga. please tell me. why exactly ? that we are in a really quite difficult situation

all the same, yes, given the current temporary suspension, i generally hope that this is a temporary suspension of russia's participation in the grain agreement, and these are the increased risks associated with this and the difficulties that naturally arise in connection with this situation for ukrainian agricultural exports, accordingly, there are some additional steps that are actually aimed at the fact that exports will also be complicated and through our western border with the european union, they do not add confidence. let's put it this way. yes ukrainian agricultural producers and do not make the situation for the ukrainian agricultural sector is, unfortunately, simpler. accordingly, i really believe that it is precisely with the european union, especially with brussels, in the first place. we should now actively intensify the dialogue, that's because these statements are still political statements, and accordingly. we still have time until the fall in order to make certain steps. accordingly, it is necessary to do everything possible from the point of view of diplomacy, in order to convince the european commission that it is still necessary

for this trade to be so free. like this de jure was provided for in fact by both ukraine and the european commission, and especially there by the decision that was adopted and extended again last year. well, as far as i understand, the ban on the import of ukrainian grain was also adopted by poland , well, more precisely, there are not only poland, but five countries. grain situation along the corridor, everyone in the whole world, starting from egypt, which has already expressed, by the way, its dissatisfaction with this situation, yes, with the actions of russia, and ending with the european union, of course, the european union, we must understand, and the farmers of the european union are afraid of increasing pressure from the side of large volumes of ukrainian ozern, which

can enter the eu markets . grain or oil or oil through our ports of the black sea. this means that more products will be sent to the european union, accordingly, there is a greater chance that these products will also somehow remain in the same poland, hungary, slovakia or somewhere else

. that's why i think we need it here too to take such an active position, understanding that the stability of sea exports in any case, well, this issue will not be resolved as long as there is a big war, as long as russia has any military or military complex, yes, in the basin, accordingly, we need to strengthen these alternative ways of export, including through the european union . therefore, we have nowhere to go, we need to work with brussels, we need to work with warsaw, budapest, or other capitals in order for our exports to not block and so that as many ukrainian products as possible pass through the borders of the european union in transit, see president zelensky the day before, it seems. and today he repeated this thesis that after russia withdraws from the grain agreement, ukraine intends to negotiate the export of agricultural products in a different way than it is in a different way, this question is across the sea, but without

russia, is it realistic? - what are the risks i think our message to the world nam russia is not needed, he also said this in the context of the export of ukrainian grain. my first question is whether it is possible to export ukrainian grain by sea without russia. by the way, the ambassador of ukraine in turkey stated this to us the day before. he said that it is possible. yes, it is possible. it is absolutely impossible . no, it is possible

. we bulgaria, romania, which are members of nato , are nato member countries, and accordingly this alternative path will simply be slightly changed or proposed. this is the first option . was at that time and let's remember the situation if you, we will rewind the situation with you a year ago, when this sea blockade was complete, it was a very difficult situation and it was clear that it was necessary to take at least diplomatic, first of all, political steps in order to relieve this situation in some way, let's say yes, and it was done precisely for that reason

. let's even in the worst case of agroexport will usually not stop, but nevertheless, these terrorist attacks on the infrastructure of agrarian so our ports, and in general, i would say the arrogant behavior of russia in the black sea , but planned to leave this agreement just he was waiting for the presidential election in turkey to erdoğan remains the president, it's safer for him, and the second point is the assumption that now china can take on the role of moderator or negotiator, actually who can't be. now the un means nothing to putin, erdoğan, too, we see there is a question, if possible, just a minute, literally, in one minute. it's really us, in fact, you called these countries, they are probably still so-called senior comrades, and i will call them non-diplomatic russia. so it's china, turkey , because both of these countries still have certain levers of influence. and how economic and political i am sure on the russian side and that is why
