[000:00:00;00] lieutenant general, if you are transferring to our system, but we will omit this point, eh. that is, it is normal. in this case , the brigadier general who was already supported by the major general is to be rescued. if this is a divisional general, if we speak according to the nato system and according to the system of the armed forces, that is, there all of this was basically posted for just a couple of days from july 26 to 28, because when it was not clear who came to power, why is it that if you remember all these names and the chief of the general staff, abdusidik issu, and so on . these are quite experienced officers, they have been there for a long time they are known in neve itself, they are known there and in west africa. in other words, these are not people who will associate themselves with the russian federation. it is obvious that the russian federation will want to use it, just as it used it there and left the country and so on, but i think there may be such a thing here the guinean scenario, when the colonel, mother, grandfather, are afraid of the current student of guinea, if he takes into account the fact that there

are russian assets on the territory under it and so on, but he is not in a hurry, well, with the russian federation, there is something like this scheme, well at the moment, the nigerians are required, well, and the last question is closed again, and the topic of the niger, and to end our conversation. and tell me, please. well, these videos, at least the ones we see from niger, where people say that russia will help us, russia will help, it's simple there may be some staged plans. is there still something that can testify to something? look, it’s not staged, this can be done very easily if you have some kind of active there or some political sympathizers there, there is even an entire m-62 movement in niger that was engaged in chernihiv and i beg your pardon, who was involved in all these matters, withdrawal from europe, criticism of france, criticism and barkhan - this is an operation against islamist groups, that is, you can easily pay for it, distribute proportions, say what to write on banners and so on, but

i emphasize the way we in the journalistic environment say it only personnel from today i have from a small part of it, niger - it is a healthy country, the size of two ukraines, well , the population there is less than 25.5 million, but still we do not know what the situation is in the regions i will say more, the people in the regions have clearly not yet realized that their government has completely changed there, taking into account the specifics of political communication, including that is, they showed us a simple, well, small image, so that there are some protesters who support russia , well, let them support themselves, well, the republic niger is a democratic state, they have the right, god be with them, but i repeat, this is only a small image, if we saw such demonstrations en masse throughout the country, not only in niamey, but also in the far north, and so next well, there are no questions. and yes, this is in fact, again, a small episode that was 100% inspired, even judging by its organization, that it arose suddenly after the coup, see the same protest actions did not

occur or were unknown to the general public during the presidency of muhammad-muhammad bazum no there was no such thing at all, all such actions in bukhtina fasov and in mali, and literally after the coup, it appeared that one on one is simply the task of russia to show that it is involved so that everyone is afraid of it, that it is in the know , it is, so to speak, on the subject, but it is not completely so, will she use these opportunities and does this open a window of opportunity for her? yes, she will use it. but did she directly inspire me? well, i have a big doubt . it was enough to just look at all those generals who shone on tv on the state tv channel and showed that they support this coup, i said that this was the last question to andrii, i'm sorry, it wasn't the last, the last will be now and what is the attitude of president muhammed bazum, the president of niger,

towards the russian invasion of ukraine, negative attitude is, in principle, one of the few african leaders, first of all, about westerners, well, it’s just enough to delve into the biography of muhammad bazoom, why does he have such a worldview , and so on. he is a fairly educated person , an experienced politician who, in principle , understands all these situations quite well. well, he is me well, i say this is the mastodon of the politics of this state, and in principle, he has everything under control, although not for long, in fact, he just missed the support of france, the support of the states, precisely the orientation towards cooperation with moreover, i will tell you in advance that the story of the coup may not end because the nigerian armed forces still have a lot of officers of various ranks trained by the french and trained by the americans precisely according to the new standards and so on, who may not like this situation at all if there is a reversal to russia, well, i will remember the case of the 10th year there was a coup d'état against president tanjemamad

due to the fact that he threatened to start supplying uranium to iran, start supplying china, turn the state to tehran to beijing well here is just an example of such a major who did not like it. he carried out this project, so i will not repeat it. everything is as someone wants . and it is very good, very good information was finally issued, mr. andriy, thank you very much for participating in today's program. thank you for your professional opinions and comments. it was andriy rudyk, political scientist, doctor of philosophy in the field of social and behavioral sciences, we talked with him about what happened in st. petersburg during the so-called russia africa summit. well , they talked a little about africa, and at the end about support for ukraine, niger, so you remember, supports ukraine and condemns putin's invasion of our country. so now , according to the rules of television, we have to go to a short commercial, after it we will return. i present

the following topics, i want to say that well, during advertisements so a good number of people probably went to make tea and coffee for themselves, because before the advertisement, more than a thousand people watched us on youtube on a special channel created for our program the world at war, now only 893 . very interesting. well, i will also say that we asked a question at the beginning of the program. we asked you, er, about this. the russia-africa summit became for putin three options for answers, as always, successful or unsuccessful. your option , please, answer on youtube, er, at the end. i will match the program, the final results, now i can only say that 230 people answered, join, and 73

percent consider it a failure , 19 and nine percent of those viewers who watch us on youtube have their own option. mr. igor i congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes i congratulate you mr. igor thank you very much for joining today's program a-a before i ask you the first question i want us, together with the audience, to listen to one direct speech of vladimir putin is still the president of the russian federation, and what did he say during this summit, russia, africa, but not about africa . we will talk . reports of the soviet union on the basis of the declaration of independence, in this declaration it was written in black and white that ukraine is a neutral state and for us it has a principled meaning

. why did the request begin to involve ukraine in nato it is very clear to me that precisely these create, in our opinion, a fundamental threat to our security, because the advancement of the infrastructure of the military bloc that is aligned with us is actually inherent to our borders is not acceptable, gentlemen, i understood him correctly, although in the end can we understand putin correctly, but in this case, let it be so did i understand correctly that putin already this denazification and militarization is all a long time in the past and he is now trying to at least somehow find a way out of the situation into which he drove himself and now for him the main thing is a neutral state and status. god is with him. denazification or demilitarization is important. the main thing is that ukraine is not in nato. that's right. well , everything is the same. this is one of the arguments. at the beginning of the so-called ied in ukraine, everything is the same. it is repeated. we remember that before the start of

a large-scale war, how putin was offended, as if no one listens to him and no one wants to give guarantees that ukraine will remain neutral. but again, if putin mentions the declaration on the state sovereignty of ukraine, then again it was not written there that ukraine is a neutral ukraine, it was written there that ukraine aspires to become neutral, but before that, firstly, putin, who is trying to reincarnate the soviet union , let me remind you that a little earlier, russia itself adopted a declaration of its own state sovereignty, actually putting a cross on to the same soviet union itself. that is, it turns out that here putin has to kill his own state, his own russian federation, but if we talk about ukraine in nato, then we understand that ukraine is at the beginning. we

remember the history with nuclear weapons, like us we voluntarily gave up what we received. yes, now we understand that these were not security guarantees . but nevertheless, we believed in the budapest memorandum in what was written there and russia as one of the guarantor countries. in the 90s, we received a tug-of-war in 2003, already signing after the signing of the great treaty in 1997 and a series of many more moments and an energy war in the 2000s , that is, wherever we had contact with the russian federation, it demonstrated its aggressiveness and e-e started the momentum of this hybrid war, which has outgrown, we remember the incitement of donbas, the annexation of crimea in the 14th year and already a large-scale dimension already from 2022 ago, the only person vladimir vladimirovich putin has to care about today is himself personally and his own environment, which

have now led to such a state and to the rapprochement of ukraine with nato, look again at this statement of his and about the neutral status of ukraine. what would he be satisfied with? although he is not satisfied with us. we know that we should be in nato - i the only guarantee of our security, but conditionally and purely hypothetically, if according to some model of former finland and former sweden or taiwan, we conclude an agreement on security guarantees, say, with the united states of america, the united states of america gives us a lot of weapons, which, for example, like in taiwan in taiwan, in which we will be able to protect ourselves from putin. after that, if this happens, what will he just say? well, okay, well, we just wanted a neutral status, let there be a neutral status. i have there are great doubts that putin's rhetoric will change because he will say, well, if

ukraine is not expelled, nato will not additionally approach our borders there, although, again , we can see that before that they have a common border, which actually expanded after joining the finland, but hmm, russia will simply say in rhetoric that the west continues to flood ukraine with these weapons and accumulate them here and there, the regime is not as it should be, there are nazis and all this history, all this rhetoric, so the russians are simply getting time for themselves healing wounds to accumulate their own forces and will go again after a certain time to invade the territory of ukraine, so i don't think that anything from russia will change here , although, again, there is rhetoric, there are real actions, and i think that everything will be the same now think about whether they should go, because even the large-scale war from february 22 showed that their calculations were absolutely wrong

, they showed that russia is not a world power today in terms of a military mission, and of course now they will have to do a lot homework in order to strengthen, and our task is to enable them to do it and in general, on the contrary . the russian federation in its current format is a real existential threat to ukraine in general, and therefore our task will be to do everything to democratize, of course, not by military methods, but by hybrid methods. it is possible, of course, to reduce it to parts, we remember the same map of budanov , and now there are many similar projects, they must be implemented, because inside the russian federation today there is everything for that, in fact, there is all

the basis for this putin's government to crack, it is already cracking and do you understand it yourself russians that the war is now going on already on their territory, taking into account, for example, the drone attacks in moscow yesterday. and, for example , how reputationally dangerous it is for putin and his posipak, well, taking into account the fact that russian propagandists have repeatedly received a direct order not to cover this topic, er, um, and this just shows that putin's reputational weakness is really higher than ever today. the contract is the agreement of the citizens with putin and his entourage, and they give up part of their rights and freedoms in exchange for security and in exchange for some social benefits and so on, but today putin is really failing

the main aspect of the issue of security, and all adequate people even in russia understand that this would not have happened if putin had not gone to fight in ukraine and the most important thing is that they are still afraid to talk about it openly, that is why we see in sociology the percentage of support for vladimir vasilyevich and so on. but nevertheless it is clear that the closer it is to the elections the situation will weaken and weaken and by the way, i want to note that prigozhyn's trip to moscow on saturday showed a lot. so we can already see the further history there, which is supposed to be. perhaps there are agreements somewhere that is falling. but no, he simply showed that inside russia itself today already the fronde is strong enough against the kremlin entourage, who want to at least get a post-putin regime, or seize power now and turn russia in the other direction

. although i don’t know where it can be turned if russia has fallen to the bottom of the mariana trench. that's why they remain there for days, but since you already started talking about prigozhin. last week , the self-proclaimed president of belarus , oleksandr lukashenko, does not know how many times in a row he went to putin, and he said the following about prigozhin and the wagnerites in particular let's listen first, well, let's go on an excursion to warsaw and rzeszów, and rzeszów was unpleasant for them when they fought under artemovsk, er, they know how to repress them because they

are in a bad mood and they need to know what is happening around the union state, well, in rzeszów or on obviously, 5,000 wagnerites will not go to warsaw, but mr. game, in your opinion, how dangerous can these 5,000 wagnerites be for the polish border? well , in fact, they carry a certain risk, because it is clear that i do not think that they are columns will begin to enter, that this will be the first stage, it is not obvious that they will try to get to poland, e.e., as refugees, illegal refugees , such as odinaki, and already on the territory of the european union to form some kind of foundation for further actions, i do not think that in fact the question here is what you now lukashenko is also speaking publicly there. i think that after all this is the issue of the welding corridor to the corresponding kaliningrad region, it was clear that putin now wants to show aha and they did not allow

him to enter the supposedly russian paradise there there is the territory of königsberg, there are trains and everything else, but i’ll show you right now. they know how to walk now. the march is thrown. if they can’t start the second stage and enter in columns , then they can just engage in banal chatter. on the territory of ukraine now, therefore, it is really a great danger and it is a danger today directly for nato, because putin is simply trying to take the alliance for granted and see how it will be the application of the fifth article of the washington treaty because, by the way putin is a sure trap he is stepping on because it is precisely from the point of view of fighting terrorism that the fifth article was already applied. we remember that it was used after the explosion of the twin towers in 2001 by

the united states of america precisely from the point of view of fighting terrorism before this is just such a window for the alliance not to directly engage with russia, but to engage in a direct conflict, but to oppose the wagnerites, so i think that this story will really continue to develop, but it is still necessary to apply more preventive measures now to allow the wagnerites to carry out certain provocations on the territory of the country now, do you think lukashenko has the courage to allow the wagnerites to make such provocations ? well, for example, in the area of ​​the sovan corridor , considering that he lacked the spirit and thank god, to use his army at all, or for example the russian army, first the invasion in relation to ukraine well, on the one hand, lukashenko is constantly balancing and trying to show himself as such an unofficial checker, where we can see that on certain issues this is really happening. but with

on the other side, after all, putin is now using e.e. lukashenko very clearly and lukashenko is paying the debt for 2020 for remaining in power and this whole story. by the way, nukes have nothing to do with ukraine and a full-scale war because there were a lot of changes and in the constitution and the preparation of the legislative one, it was stretched out in time. that is, this is a separate track for putin in relation to belarus, this provocation. it really prepared for a very long time in relation to nuclear weapons , so i think that lukashenko. of course, he is now trying to sit on two chairs, but the longer the war goes on, well, it's really difficult for him, and on the other hand , he can become a certain ally in opposition to moscow, this is beijing , with which the lukashenka family has an unofficial joint business and production on the territory of belarus.

and it is precisely the chinese who can influence as a certain balance in these efforts today by putin through belarus to attack the nato countries and their respective eastern flank of the countries of the european union. on the contrary, it wants to show its autonomy and its geopolitical greatness, but in reality it's just a horror. and maniacality is 100% maniacality. and of course there is horror - this is 100%. igor please tell me this is such a strange visit by the minister of defense. although not by the minister of war of the russian federation, serhiy shaygu, to north korea. where did he meet with the leader of the most closed country in the world? and

ammunition, although they also saw drones there, like you do you think that they could have agreed? well, i think that in fact north korea has really huge reserves. now it seems that there is something in general there, and they talked about some 200 mm e samples, that is, not only now the supply of 152 mm soviet samples, but also other types, because it is clear that it is precisely the russian federation that emphasizes e-e artillery during its offensive that is now experiencing a terrible , indeed, projectile hunger and they need help and where can they find it in the most totalitarian state on the planet today the land that again characterizes putin's regime but nevertheless, for a country of 25 million people, which is north korea , there are really a lot of shells there, because they were preparing in the event

of a command to attack a-and south korea , it seems that there is something ... there is a huge amount of something like 500,000 shells, that is, there are really crazy plans, it was for comparison, understand, ah , the russians at the peak in the direction of bakhmut fired at us around 60,000 shells per day, that is, the scale is really serious, but that no less. i think that even if they agree on this artillery, nevertheless, ukraine has its own agreements. we also remember about a million nato-type shells, 1.7 million have already been delivered to us, they are now actively used on the front lines, especially in the southern direction as well and on the bakhmut side, i think that russia will not win here, that’s for sure, but it really causes some concern in such negotiations, what is happening now, a question

, but a very short answer, but we saw on the video that some samples were shown there north korean and drones that are very similar to american drones. is there such a possibility and , unfortunately, a chance that in the war against ukraine , russian drones may soon be used, some of them are called cheremukha, but it could be precisely these north korean e- they were stolen from the americans, i don't think they were stolen from the americans, they were copied unsuccessfully, most likely we don't know what the night time is, and it's 15 seconds. i think it can still be, but their effectiveness will be far they will have to be analyzed from the american one, it is not necessary to transfer them immediately, but the risks are of course present and we will not evaluate mr. igor, thank you very much for participating in today's program for your professional answer. it was igor chalenko, political scientist

, head of the analysis and strategy center, i just have to see how you answered the question that we asked ourselves . 19% believe that russia and africa have become successful for putin. 73% consider it a failure, and your option is 9%, your option can be read in the comments , 1306 people are watching us now in a special e hmm channel for the program e-e the world during the war on youtube thank you all very much for now i have to finish due to lack of time but we will meet next week at the usual time there will be new topics there will be new guests but it will be interesting as always until the meeting andriy yanitskyi with economics on the espresso tv channel as always prisoners after the news 8:10

we meet you today we work live if you watch us on youtube please leave your comments after the program i can come to discuss hot economic topics with you also send a link to your friends and family, please like it if you haven't subscribed to espresso's youtube channel yet, do it right now 10,000 microrants under the program, there is work, the government should issue this year , the minister of economy yulia sviridenko informed about it, we are talking about non-returnable funds for small and medium-sized businesses, ms. yulia reminded that the participants of the project have a job can also undergo retraining or acquire additional qualifications at the expense of the state. i will add that before the full-scale invasion, 40% of the economy of ukraine depended on small and medium-sized businesses, so the support of such businessmen is at the time, and here it will be
