[000:00:00;00] the situation of the situation can be seen with the organization of the modern nation like this and put them in a row with the western states, we constantly talk about russia about its work or its provocations in the organization of the united nations, but here the question is what about belarus, but we always say that belarus and the belarusian dictator is a co-organizer and co-responsible for russia's war against ukraine, but we do not articulate at the international level on the same platform in the organization of the united nations. the same sanctions, or the same rules as for the aggressor, why don't we always talk about russia, belarus, russia, belarus, because well, we

are absolutely aware that on february 24 , 2022, it was from belarusian territory that they say that belarusians also entered, but the russians entered, it seems that the belarusian troops entered, they reached the black, it didn’t go any further, it shows, that is, here we should not play russia and belarus, actually, as twins, belarus in this case is simply a vassal , foreign policy, political, economic, whatever and of its own policy therefore, nothing new is expected from lukashenka, these are objective things, as long as there is putin, there will be lukashenko before dota, and it is obvious that there is some other line here

, we don't need to wait, i'm just i remember the soviet times, when there was the ukrainian ssr and the ussr, and now they have returned to belarus , because then moscow gave instructions on what to do. well, the socialist ukrainian ssr and the ussr chose to participate in the implementation of, as they called it , the foreign policy course. ussr now he is involved in the popularization of russia's foreign policy course and nothing more that is, that is why we must always and everywhere remind that not only putin , but also lukashenko deserves a warrant in quotation marks, and not only him, there are not many people who have committed crimes against ukraine. by the way, i wonder why our prosecutors' offices and our special services react so delicately to what you said in particular. if

there are confirmed facts of the crossing of the state border by belarusian servicemen, this is already a crime and this is something that should become a subject for consideration and that's for sure what we should talk about on all international platforms, including him, and what else we should talk about is, well, at least commenting. we will definitely hear two synchronicities about the statements of lukashenko and putin regarding poland - it is lukashenko and putin. lukashenko is talking about a possible annexation as he he tells western ukraine and poland that stalin

gave the poles western lands that were once part of germany. to the population of ukraine, we will definitely support them, i ask that you discuss and think over this issue , of course i would like you to support us in this regard. to tear off a piece of fire, to return to themselves, how do they consider their historical territories in today's western ukraine, it is well known that they also dream of belarusian lands, mr. volodymyr, this anti-polish rhetoric has always been present in

in putin's rhetoric since november 2022, he already often repeats that the poles want to break away from there, although we know that putin tried to talk about this before, at whom is this rhetoric directed, and are there all theses that stalin gave the land as a gift, and we will now show them uh, and let's remind you about this, doesn't it remind you uh, these words about the fact that the ukrainians invented pototsky, ukraine was created by lenin and that well, this is the basis of putin's pseudo-historical pseudo-historian about what we will now do with poland, the same thing we make you from ukraine once again they showed this so-called conversation, of course i had seen it before, but you know, i had the same impression then and now that it was a conversation between two patients of ward number six, well, it really looks

like two mentally unbalanced people people who are completely detached from reality, who are equally sick and are having a serious conversation with each other, well, reacting to all these things in a different way. well, it seems to me that it is impossible . well, because well, because what they say is, uh, it is goes beyond common sense with no matter how you look at this loophole, there is really nothing new here. well, let's not forget that in russia today , the majority of not only the so-called political community, but also the people think that kiev and the russians are the enemy. well, what about everything else - this is wrong, this is some kind of injustice towards the russians, that ukraine is not

ukraine, it is part of russia, and that the poles are the people who throughout history are bitter against the great russian empire there and so on and so on well that's it you understand it what kind of political delusion is this people fed on, this population has been fed for centuries, and there is really nothing here to analyze because, oh, in the west, they understand everything very well, we understand it all. well, they are here, you see, they are all playing these information games... well, in this case, i mean, in this case, the grandmother with the people, because putin is already afraid of it like hell, but , well, that's what keeps this information wave in their societies, because others they

simply can't accept it as a norm, that's why here and honestly it is difficult to say something about this matter. well, because i am repeating it again, this is the dialogue of crazy people. well, what can you comment here , but these crazy people said something similar about ukraine, well, that is, from madness to impunity to crimes, one step, why? i constantly talk about this and emphasize that, well, there is no need to constantly say that they are working for their audience there, or are there possible minor provocations from the territory of the belarusians towards lithuania or poland with the help of the same wagnerites. by the way, lithuania announced today about the fact that the border with belarus can be closed due to the placement of wagnerites there , the ministry of internal affairs informs about this, lithuania has prepared, the cover plans have been clarified

, training will be held in the near future, that is, lithuania and poland are serious, uh, the poles are talking about the fact that they are increasing the army, that is, that is what they say it affects the neighboring countries, let's look at it from the point of view, so to speak, of practical application, and from what we hear and see, nothing but trucks and some mobile kitchens, wagner is not going to belarus started that is there is nothing to attack there, that is, they will attack with these loaves, which they call uh, on the roasting military . well, i think that, well, that is, again, if the logic is crazy, then it is possible, if the logic is adequate

, then it is not possible, uh. well, it seems to me that it is again well, it's a game exclusively for the internal audience, because the external audience looks at it like this , with a certain caution, i agree with you, and we read about the fact that there they are closing borders and increasing the number of troops, but advancing with nine thousand unarmed people it's impossible, well, any cadet of any school will tell you that, so i think that this is again a continuation of the policy of blackmail, provoking the west, and so on. well , it's good that belarus attacked poland even there, taking small arms. this is an attack on a nato country. isn't it clear that in such a situation it is unlikely that it will be possible to pretend that nothing happened , then it will be the answer should be a more correct

answer from the side of nato, moreover, a collective one , what did lukyshenko count on, what do i count on in this case that is, with from the point of view of common sense and not a crazy defense , it doesn't fit into any gate, that's why i think that in fact it's more about these shots, about placing them there somewhere so that everyone can see how they are preparing . but in reality, it seems to me that the preparation goes further to get on cargo planes and fly to africa, which we have already talked about with you, and to no longer attack poland or lithuania with such weapons is more expensive for us. another topic of this week, mr. volodymyr, is the situation in moldova

, where the special services of moldova recorded that in the embassy of the russian federation has installed antennas that can intercept the conversations of the leadership of the republic of moldova, and moldova announced that it was expelling 45 people from the embassy of the russian federation, the staff was reduced to almost 60 people, the reason for this was the accusation that the russians are spying on the leadership of moldova, according to you, is russia considering as an option, a trip to moldova and the actual activity of the russian special services is related to this , do they behave in a similar way in any countries, absolutely eh p serhiu no no no do not think that this is separate the case of moldova, if you were to look at the embassy or consulates of the russian federation abroad, you would see on the roofs of such a forest of various antennas , dishes, and everything else that they are

actually strewn with what do they use in order to spy on the host countries, and since russian embassies are usually located in the center of capital cities , this means that they can immediately listen to many ministries of the government there structures er sometimes even er intercept conversations of the special services and so on and so on. that is to say, this is really a huge danger. therefore, moldova's decision is absolutely correct and logical. if moldova wants to have some state secrets, then it must do so that no one can decipher them, so that no one can

-e read what er and listen to what members of the government or er special services or diplomatic missions say, which er are right there in the same pocket and so on. that is, this is what is finally starting to work. we see moldova as during the last uh months uh hundreds and hundreds of russian spies, and here it must be emphasized that our diplomats, that is, have been expelled from many european capitals, and in this way, the possibility of russian espionage in certain countries has been significantly reduced , but this is far from the end, because well, in diplomacy in general, there is such a written rule of reciprocity, and if you follow this rule, let's say one country should have as many diplomats as there are others, that is, how many diplomats does another country have, you

should have as many diplomats in it and vice versa, that is plus the same applies to the technical staff. if we go this way, then very soon russian spies will really only be a memory because i will repeat myself again and again , 80% of the staff of russian representatives are spies, so there is still work to be done because tonight volodymyr zelenskyi announced that that qatar will, together with ukraine , implement the so-called peace formula proposed by president volodymyr zelenskyi . what mr. volodymyr zelenskyi says about

this peace formula with western leaders and foreign leaders , and in ukraine, well, obviously not all ukrainians will be able to formulate. justice and law are things that go hand in hand and there can be no peace if it is not fair because it will ultimately result in a return to war. peace is when all participants in international communication feel safe and feel that they really live in a just peace, that is why justice is actually in these points proposed by zelenskyi. it seems to me that it is formulated, although it is quite general. but it is clear and it seems to me that the key here is the provision of international law

on the inviolability of state borders, if this principle is preserved, then we can speak about the elements of this peace. if it is not there, then any talks about any peace agreements lose any meaning if one country can seize part of the territory of another and this is considered the norm then there can be no justice and no peace, that is why the first point was and remains the restoration of the territorial integrity of ukraine, everything if this point is achieved, then you can sit down and talk about something, but i will tell you frankly, i do not see the possibility even after this with the current moscow regime, someone negotiates with them, the regime of criminals must negotiate with them - it has been decided to negotiate, and

an international tribunal must work with them and pass judgments for their crimes, but what will happen after this regime , this is the next question, but i don't think so itself with the next regime. in this regard, it will be easy because , unfortunately, the politicians and the people of this territory are imperial, criminal, and should be punished for the crimes they committed, including the population in relation to all our neighbors, so, unfortunately, we have a lot of work ahead of us, but the prerequisite for the work of diplomats is the work of these heroes that you are showing now , who must do everything so that there is no more hint of a horde in ukraine

. thank you, mr. volodymyr, for it was a conversation volodymyr ogrysko - politician-diplomat minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 2007-2009 in 2009, friends, we are working live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are currently watching live, please like this video and subscribe to our channels in social networks well, please, uh , become our sponsor, a sponsor of the espresso youtube channel by going to here, you will find detailed information on how to become a youtube channel sponsor, we will be grateful to you for any help on this friends i put a full stop i say goodbye to you until monday i wish you good health take care of yourself and your loved ones goodbye every day every hour every minute we receive a lot of information even the most expected event of the year what is really

happening at the front what are the losses of personnel and techniques on the battlefield, how does the international community evaluate our successes and what moscow is lying about, from the flow of news coming from all over the world , we single out the most important ones, closely monitoring whether there will be weapons for ukraine and what and what the russian occupiers are whispering about behind the commanders' backs news summary of the week - this is an overview of only important events, events with the weight of credibility - this is analytics, fact checking , expert comments, much more today in the case of important things in simple language, available to all viewers, welcome to the news, summary of the week, every saturday at 21:00 nayspresso battalion has a lot of combat history, the battalion began at

the very beginning of the full-scale invasion as a purely volunteer unit, that is, it was initially formed on the basis of our party organization of freedom in the city of kyiv, from activists to supporters, and then a lot of people began to join us, just literally from the street there, acquaintances, and so on, and the battalion then, still in the format of the voluntary formation of a territorial community, participated in the defense of kyiv in the battles in irpen in battles in the direction of baryshiv on the left bank, in the liberation of buchi and gostomel, and so on, after the siege of kyiv was completed under 40 muscovites , the battalion was driven from kyiv and became part of the national guard, namely the fourth brigade of operational assignment of the national guard to the border a-a and went on combat duty in rubizhne, the city of rubizhne, luhansk region, where he passed

through extremely difficult battles. then there were equally extremely difficult battles in lysychansk, north donetsk, then there was just last summer , in the second half of the summer, an extremely difficult combat company in in the village of zaytseva , bakhmatsky district, i did not see this, everything is fine here, now the initiative in this direction is by ukrainian forces, and in fact, according to the plans, everything should go to the point of destroying the orcs, but not let's run ahead because this war is a difficult war and i don't like to make any preliminary predictions, to overestimate expectations and so on, in the direction where our battalion is now, there are very heavy battles and there have been several attempts to attack our positions with the use of tanks with the use of other armored

aviation equipment, helicopters, i am silent about artillery of all types, this is self-evident, but the guys held their positions, the guys destroyed the enemy's armored vehicles, they did not let the enemy advance now here we are, guys who have just left the front line, there is a certain internal rotation, and those guys who have served are now in the reserve, and even here , being in the reserve not far from the front line, they continue to undergo training and training to improve their skills and are ready at any moment to step in again for the direct execution of combat tasks on the front line in view of the direction where your guys are standing. i understand that you had

to face enemy units not only the regular army of the russian federation, but it was probably wagner and the terrorists of the so-called dpr of the lpr. can you somehow differentiate the effectiveness of these enemy wagners, so because wagner this was the main force precisely in the bakhmut direction when we worked in the winter of last year, well, this year and last year well, what can i say about wagner, wagner achieved well, it must be recognized that it is a certain efficiency thanks to two things, the first is cannibalistic domestic politics, let's say so. that is, there are really executions for any disagreement, executions for execution of orders, executions for anything, and that's it. but in their russians with those coordinates it works, that is, they really go on the attack because they understand that if he fishes , they will shoot him, that is, this is such a super-repression. and secondly, it is absolute indifference to losses

, that is, i understand that in the regular russian army in principle, everyone cares about the losses, but still there. well, i don’t know, there is some kind of minimal yes, there is an understanding that they can certainly punish the commander there, that if he has any abnormal losses according to their standards, there will be, relatively speaking, someone asking for of these soldiers yes, there are some relatives there who will raise the question of where they are, what they are and so on, and from the point of view of wagner, impole in general, that is, they recruited prisoners, uh, they drove all the meat assaults, they lay down there by the tens of thousands, and they were absolutely indifferent yes, they have not only convicts there, they also have professional mercenaries. yes, if you can say so, but they went there already in the second or third wave, that is, the first wave, it was always these meaty assaults by

convicts . well, here they are again uses the russian command as cannon fodder, which is absolutely cannon fodder, well, that is, not everyone is used as cannon fodder, but they are especially, that is, unfortunately for them , in general , until the west decided how much. your point of view, could the western world have helped us earlier, and would it have helped us today? hmm, definitely, and actually . let's start with the fact that if we take the 90s and 2000s, ukraine was disarming we gave away nuclear weapons, we gave away a lot of other weapons, we gave away, we destroyed our own strategic aviation and a lot of other types of weapons that we really needed right now, including, let

's not lie, the west also supported this weaponry, so they are actually partially to blame and if of course they had helped us since the 14th year. since, uh, at least they are helping us now, i think everything would have gone completely differently and the war since the 14th year would have gone completely differently , but we will not enter debra, in the end , let's let's not forget what we had there are a lot of problems, and we had different people as presidents, such as yanukovych, who sold ukraine to the muscovites and so on. and all this led to the fact that we also have to understand that our policy led to the fact that we were losing combat capability and defense capability, and there is no one to raise here the people who held positions in ukraine and made this decision are to blame, and if we talk about today , of course, i would like them to give us this aid in doses, to give it immediately and in the quantities

they need, but again, i understand what is going on here i understand how complicated this political process is. i understand that our diplomacy is working, doing everything possible to achieve these deliveries and so on. and of course, we should have the same f-16s, for example, from the very beginning, even if it is not a full-scale invasion. i'm talking about the 14th year, today it would be much easier to destroy the enemy's defenses , especially after the kharkiv counteroffensive , the russian federation became one of the main suppliers of weapons to ukraine, leaving an extremely large amount of ammunition and equipment does your battalion still have it, for example, and do you use it now against the russians? of course there is trophy equipment , there is trophy ammunition, there is trophy weapon, it is

absolutely normal and it all works today for the ukrainian victory, you also have to understand what we will say, it really sounds paradoxical, but the biggest supplies of weapons for the ukrainian army in such a strange way, but it was done by the russian federation itself. we even have to clarify. by the way, where was he even in our country? well, there were, i say. vehicle equipment is lost there in the battles, it comes under fire and so on, but there was even a trophy such a motor vehicle , it’s real. so when this guard was advancing on kyiv, they were riding in motor vehicles, that is, they thought that these shields and batons were lying in the motor vehicles, that is, they were a parade uniform, that is, they were real they thought that they would come to kyiv, disperse everyone with batons and put them in a car park, and then they would hold a parade on khreshchatyk in its previous form, so

here is one of these car parks, er, it served at least and is probably still used in in the interests of the ukrainian army, 521 days of heroic resistance of the ukrainian people to the russian occupiers continues. news on espresso in the studio of anzhelika sezonenko. in the morning, the russians shelled the village of vesele in the kherson region. they hit residential buildings and wounded a woman. the regional military administration was notified. hospital in the
