[000:00:00;00] russia will immediately try to block our opportunities to export from the stock exchange in the first stage, and then i think that sooner or later they will return to these agreements, and at this moment they will reorient these flows to themselves and then with such agreements they will consolidate their sole, essentially right, because in us the infrastructure is really collapsing . they slept in ours and took them away. and they continue to do it all over the place. that is, i really don’t like that the world is starting to see everything as the norm. that is, it should be transferred to the mode i you i'll be honest, there was criticism of our officials, that they might be wrong somewhere, they want to cross red lines, that's the tradition of diplomacy. i 'll be honest, i'm ready to shout at the whole world now

, because i see what's happening, they're transferring the russian war of aggression to the fascist some ordinary conflict between the parties that must be stopped is a very dangerous thing and the further it will go god forbid who negotiated with putin forget everything everything is fine on all his haags crossed out everything he will be fine he understands. he will raise the stakes, blackmail, tell that they will now go not only to western poland, but where is western poland, then you are already the second to bomb london , that is, putin is a weakling, so medvedev has already entered paris, london. and he is still here in the sandbox somewhere, his german they are not the only ones who know this. well, this is not a simple lie . they create a parallel world and sometimes they believe in this lie. they believed in what kyiv

believed in three days, so they left, that is, they failed , they failed. why can't they to really go to some kind of confrontation with a nato country will fail, but let's say that we achieve our goals of sitting down at the negotiating table. everything can be because of that. i think that the question of the pressure of the powerful military arises again, and in addition, i want to hear where the sanctions packages are, where they were distributed , where rosatom, when they are the fourth block e-e put a stop in the hot what does it mean from a hot jam a few hours before the disaster if they want to pump, they will lay a line on the other side and they will use it, the americans think that they have agreed and everything, i am very grateful to them for this, but they left the technical capabilities for putin as he had. again, the new stage requires more decisive actions by the military , and not only the supply of weapons, but i say that it is necessary , not necessary, for nato to act now

, and it should be non-grain. and in freedom of navigation, how will it be ensured, i said there is ships are the task of nato, if nato is not capable, if the usa is weak and incapable , it will hit them, the usa and nato, not ukraine, so i think that they are seriously thinking about this issue and will find means not behind the scenes, but such clear public means to put in place of these war criminals who broke away against this background, mr. valeriu, bulgaria, hungary, poland, romania and slovakia jointly appealed to the european union with a request to extend the ban on the import of ukrainian grain after september 15, well, that is, as i understand it , by land, and the eu is also considering the issue of the export of ukrainian grain about this was also stated in brussels at the eu council on agricultural affairs by the minister

of agriculture of lithuania and volodymyr zelenskyy speaking about the agreements with the european union , let's hear what the president of ukraine said is very an important agreement with the european commission regarding september 15 is the deadline for the existence of restrictions on our grain exports and we believe that the european side fulfills its obligations regarding this date when the temporary restrictions will cease to operate . any extension of the restrictions is absolutely unacceptable and frankly un-european . europe has the institutional capacity to act more rationally than to close this or that border for this or that product, of course , mr. valery, every country cares first about

its agricultural producers, not pro-ukrainian ones but all the same, are bulgaria , hungary, poland , romania, and slovakia doing the same thing, who are insisting that the export of grain and the import of grain should be closed after september 15, i will not give details of how this situation developed. countries, the first thing is to maintain trust, the continuation of the supply of weapons and aid to this region is a priority. therefore, even in such difficult situations, i think it is necessary not to rush there directly with unfriendly words. in these countries, elections and politicians look at the internal situation . yes, we would like to have our full support here , at the expense of our own internal interests

, but i think we need to find, firstly , temporary effects of this ban, and secondly, some kind of compensators from brussels from the european union it is possible to solve well, and the third is to look for opportunities for ukrainian producers of goods in these conditions not to lose seriously in money well, this is already a purely internal interest of ours a difficult question a difficult question i do not have all the answers i emphasize once again that with on the one hand, and in the conditions of war, we understand that we are covering these countries, they understand, on the other hand, we need to find a solution with such friends , in a really calm mode in the dialogue against this background, on july 27 and 28, oleksandr st. petersburg should be held by russia, africa, and already, as the russian side says

participation in this summit was confirmed by 49 out of 54 african countries, that is, i understand that african countries that are among the consumers of ukrainian grain do not perceive putin as a person who simply deprives them of food and uses food as one of the elements of a weapon or as a weapon against the world and you and i said that, unfortunately, the perception is different and you can call it pragmatism, but african, well, but really well, it can have consequences and vice versa, well , look, africa is different, there are countries that really, i know, we communicate

they do not clearly understand what russia is doing, what putin is doing, what russia is doing, that is, they understand it, well, you can call such countries but really, the majority will simply go and create the illusion that putin is not isolating, so this is an active work, it must be recognized er they work actively with africa and we must continue to look for opportunities to prove and convey exactly our true position to our partners in african countries, or is it correct? i understand that putin is betting on african countries, as at one time the soviet union bet on african countries, and this was, in principle , the policy of the soviet union. well, if possible so to say colonial, that is, the soviet union has always looked at african countries, which countries , on which countries do they have influence, the leadership of the soviet union, a lot of students studied from africa, then they became ministers

someone became president and in this way the connection between the soviet union and african countries was preserved and the ussr always relied on african countries. maybe i am wrong. the main directions of work from the soviet union have not changed and they are not aimed at helping society, let's say, but more at those who manage the situation, that is, those who are in power at the moment, that's what the situation is, and this is trade, weapons , these are diamonds - these are specific agreements with the top and they continue to use this tool. thank you, mr. valery. it was

er provocation towards poland i know that maybe my question looks too absurd considering that poland is a member of the north atlantic alliance and yet it really fights in many ways it is likely that they are thinking about this kind of provocation in order to drag nato into the conflict, but still more and more about internal russian politics, now putin needs to show that he is strong and that he will fight for his position for his power and together with the oligarchic clan that

surrounds him but the very idea of ​​a, which is that they should really provide something significant either in poland or in lithuania in the isthmus to kaliningrad , that is, i really have doubts. putin dreams of redistributing the world and especially eastern europe. mr. colonel, he wants close the border map, well actually he has already started this process that has been going on since 2014 when putin, like the sudetenland, simply took crimea and said that our people are there , we have to help them and the whole world simply allowed it to be done, or rather, no one recognizes

the annexation of crimea, but still he still allowed it to be done eight years later, putin launched a major war against ukraine , do you see the similarity of the situation that was in the era of hitler and in the era of putin, can you call putin the new hitler, and considering the fact that the world has been swinging for a very long time in order to put putin on place and not allow him to destroy the world order, different from putin, there is more contrast than any points of contact , but the fact is that this is how the world really allowed putin to enter the crimea, but let's go even further into the past , no one did anything when there was a conflict in

chechnya, no one did anything did when there was a conflict in georgia, that's why the world, the western world , has repeatedly shown a certain weakness, and that's why putin moved forward, what he does in africa, what he steals there, the resources he steals from african countries in order to with the aim of self-enrichment and enrichment of its oligarchs, what they really have in common with the times is the lack of people who took this war seriously, the west , the collective west, is not currently considering the option that they may have to fight. in fact , they have been doing this since the second world war, that is, they are not preparing for war they do not learn

the necessary lessons, as it should be done mr. colonel, to what extent the presence of nuclear weapons in putin's possession allows him to endlessly blackmail western europe and not only western europe and the whole world and who can put an end to this blackmail in your opinion, it is obvious and it turns out that the representatives of the white house are taking this blackmail seriously and they are thinking about what the consequences could be, i do not think that putin will somehow take the threats seriously, for example from on the part of great britain or france, but the americans often say that nuclear weapons are not

for use, that is, they are simply in the arsenal, and china also speaks and seems to have similar rhetoric, but in fact now needs additional equipment in order to to continue this war, we mr. colonels, colonels, have witnessed what is happening in the last week, russia has withdrawn from the grain agreement, the grain corridor that has been operating for a year has been destroyed, we see how russia is destroying the port civil infrastructure in the south of ukraine today, we see how putin is shooting civilians of odesa , mykolaiv and others regions of ukraine, we see how putin turns into the main

sea pirate of the black sea, and again the question is quite simple: who and in what way should tell putin what international shipping is which is adjusted by certain rules and norms and that one state cannot turn the great black sea into the internal sea of ​​the russian federation. who and how should explain this to putin ? the answer is obvious. only by his desire, the only thing that putin understands is power , and in order to create this power, it is necessary for

the ships themselves to enter the black sea basin , because i think that the americans cannot do anything to make ukrainian ships pass from of ukraine and to ukraine, that is, putin understands not words, putin understands actions, active actions, but in fact he knows how to use words , he threatens, he blackmails, so the west must understand this in order to bring putin to his senses, would one aircraft carrier in the black sea be enough, an american aircraft carrier of course e- e. we need a lot of equipment, much more drones, and they are all necessary to bring putin to his senses, and i think that in this

regard, the government of ukraine should think much more about this in order to create such an army of drones, manufacture them themselves, and this is not everything is too late, but for now, we need to invest more in order to really have a certain leverage, the ukrainian population should be focused on creating such an air force of drones that can be used against putin, former british intelligence officer mi-6 christopher steele says that russia practically gave up the idea of ​​defeating ukraine with its weapons on the battlefield, let's hear what mr. steel said . i think that russia practically gave up the idea of ​​defeating ukraine in a military way on

the battlefield and the latest series of attacks on odesa, kyiv as an attempt to pressure not only ukraine , but also globally, what we are currently observing is an attack on free trade. putin definitely intended to influence the way the world market and the western system work, that is, mr. colonel , putin achieved what he wanted he quite seriously affects free trade and the whole world and, in general , the whole world order, even if it is through terrorist methods. it should also be remembered that putin comes from different centers of the introduction of war, he conducts hybrid hostilities and thanks also thanks to spies thanks to paid politicians i.e. any

actions for him are adequate if they will have this destructive effect that is, i do not think that he gives up the idea of ​​dominating ukraine but he is trying to create such a situation in which ukraine can be separated from western support and this is only one of the actions he is trying to do. the foreign minister of great britain cleverly says that russia can attack civilian vessels in the black sea to destroy ukrainian food exports. he says that we will highlight this unscrupulous behavior in the united nations security council. russia should stop holding the world's food supply hostage and return to the agreement . colonel, we see that no

broadcasts are helping putin at all. he does not react to this, including at the level of the un security council and the un general assembly , i.e. there is no world international organization that can bring him to his senses vladimir putin, eh. if this continues, won't the entire planet and the whole world become hostages of the will of only one person who is not quite adequate to our affairs, which is putin, but really, sometimes western politicians in general seem somewhat naive, because the scenario for

conducting any negotiations with by putin this is simply something absurd, we understand that words, as we have already said, words have nothing when we are fighting russia, they are meaningless and therefore i am surprised that at such a stage of the war people can still talk about some kind of negotiations. this is very a great degree of naivety or even stupidity. they do not understand what russia is, what they are fighting for and how they are doing it, and that is why i am sure that my country is showing this kind of weakness, colonel, this week , drones attacked the russian capital , moscow, and this same week, the military was attacked bases on the annexed crimean peninsula, the spokeswoman of the white house, karin jean -pierre, says that we do not support

attacks inside russia, but we also very clearly stated that this is crimea, that this is ukraine, we will hear that said karinjan pie, that is, drone attacks on moscow, we made it clear that in general we do not support strikes inside russia, but we also very clearly stated that crimea is ukraine, russia started this war and it can end it already today, our position is unchanged, the usa will continue to provide security and help to the country, as we have been doing it for more than 15 months , since ukraine is fighting for its freedom, for its sovereignty, mr. colonel, the russians started talking about the fact that ukraine is engaged in terrorist activities, this happened after drone strikes on moscow and after strikes on military bases in the annexed crimea

, in your current war, are there any sections, where are they, considering that the russians are striking on the territory of ukraine at any point , do you approve of these symmetrical response on the ukrainian side, on the russian capital, on military bases, a military object on the territory of the russian federation, including the annexed crimea, the annexed crimea is ukraine, and there can be no misunderstanding here, ukraine can release its the territory is a matter of ukraine in relation to the territory of russia, in my opinion it is not a very good idea to strike at the civilian population of the russian federation, but it would be very good to strike at military

strategic objects at objects of military infrastructure, this is very important , of course, it is 100% unclear that these drones that carried out the attacks, are they really of ukrainian origin, so the probability is high, but they could have been launched by fsb representatives, because they sometimes want to create such a situation in order to free their hands in a certain aspect of putin in order for him to dare perhaps something more aggressive it's unpleasant, of course, when they hit you with either ballistic missiles or drones or long-range radio missiles. that is, we feel it in

ukraine. that they should understand that we are going through this moment, the history here is quite unambiguous, when an attack is carried out on such a base, for example, or on such a territory, we understand that at that moment in russia, the mood of the russians may intensify, their aggression against ukraine may unite them, they sometimes do not support putin in his actions, but in this case , on the contrary, they are rallying, and we need to break the russians' spirit, uh, we have to do it both on the battlefield and inside russia, and therefore such attacks that are carried out outside the battlefield can have

other consequences we cannot afford to use our drones in vain if it creates a negative effect on ukraine mr. colonel, today the washington post writes that putin was warned about the prigozhin mutiny 2-3 days before this mutiny, russian special services informed him about this mutiny the mutiny is claimed by the sources of the publication in ukrainian and european markings, as a result, the kremlin sent to protect strategic objects, the washington post writes, but did nothing else, when the mutiny began, putin was paralyzed well, it is implied in his actions and unable to act in the first hours of the piskov uprising, in response to a newspaper inquiry, he called the statements nonsense. how do you think there is potential within the russian federation for

a possible mutiny or a military military er-e change of power, that is, is there anything other than prigozhin forces that may be dissatisfied with putin, or are there forces that can change the situation in russia by changing putin's power, i don't think that then he spoke out against russia prigozhyn spoke out he did not speak out against putin, he spoke out against the weakness of the russian army actually in the fight against ukraine, this is not quite such a coup against putin , otherwise he would have been eliminated a long time ago, if there was such information, he would have been killed a long time ago without giving the opportunity to make this mutiny when we are talking about possible changes in power military or another way, my answer is
