[000:00:00;00] will fall under crazy sanctions, no less than those that were introduced against china if he directly started supplying russia with some serious weapons. so, i think all this will end with beautiful words, they will sign 28 moral agreements on cooperation. well, he will go and manage this a strange country and further and then he will return and continue to turn russia into a big north korea , you know, the last decisive step is to turn on the internet and then everything will go in such seven-mile steps by the way, we have a fragment russian television, where on russian propagandists deny, they say that there was no conversation about weapons, let's hear what the propagandist popov said, let's talk about gossip, of course, all the headlines are absolutely about who brought the shells here

, well, what kind of shells are just underpowered and our western colleagues, i'm like 100,000 north korean soldiers will be placed on the border when you ask a member of the delegation about it, they just laugh in response . there is already a certain limitation russia observes all these limitations but there are things that we can definitely talk about, uh, we discuss, we think about it, we don’t know anything about the supply of weapons, probably and we won’t find out , we will win says well, i don't know if we will win or not, let's conclude this topic . did putin always want russia to be like north korea, that is, as a model, because

what he is doing is, in principle, well, this is not china this is a typical north korea, you know, perhaps the main souls, because you know that total control is not even by the state, but actually by one person over the country. this is probably such a mysterious dream of putin’s. well, it is possible since the time when he was educated there in all kinds of kdb schools because well, if he misses the collapse of the soviet union and believes that no one has done more for this country than joseph stalin, so of course everything should be done like north korea, because this is exactly what happened in the soviet union in the last and the victims are the same concentration camps, but in fact look on the difference between how they live in north korea and south korea, they are one

people and why they are not one people. as putin says, ukrainians and russians are really one people , so this is what a crazy dictator can do to the country, who then passed it on to one son. grandson and so on. well, putin probably won’t have such an opportunity, well, but i think that this dream remains with him somewhere. that is, during the times that he thinks he only had to live there, and he is probably going to live for many more years, but you know, he could will take everything equally but in these times, can he not do a lot of damage, first of all, to his own country, and frankly speaking, it is already happening. there is a war that i started to fight ukraine, it already pushed ukraine away from kyiv many decades ago, this is not even

soviet times anymore, oh well, it is possible for us still i will have to talk about the fact that there is no internet in russia anymore, that is, it will be complete orwell 1984 , that's it, let's go. thank you, mr. volodymyr, for this optimistic note about russia, we will finish the conversation. this was volodymyr yevchenko, a diplomat and a former representative of ukraine at the organization of the united nations and the former ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america, friends, we are working live and conducting a survey today on youtube. today we are asking you about whether ukraine now needs diplomatic relations with belarus. yes, no, and your option. please write in the comments below in we are in touch .

corruption, because a lot has been said about corruption this week, and today the anti-corruption court above arrested the former minister of health stepanov in absentia. he is suspected of participating in a corruption scheme. what was the truth , as it were, before he entered the ministerial chair ? uah 450 million of violations during his tenure at a state-owned enterprise, a printing office ukraine, stepanov himself says that this is political persecution, that such a thing cannot happen, and that it is yermak and zelenskyi, or something they are fighting for. we know that stepanov was one of those people who actually accompanied this entire epidemic, we remember the lack of masks and b- these planes that flew brought medicines for ukrainians, you are watching what is happening now in the presidential team and all those stories, endless stories that change from week to week and some more stories are added. what can you say, or if

you would rather answer the sociological survey, which was so actively commented on by opinion leaders and the office of the president of ukraine , advisers about it, or who is responsible for corruption in the country, president zelenskyi constantly paces uh, and both inside the country and from outside. that is, we see that uh , there are changes, there are changes in the government, and uh, suspicion is being served, and this does not only apply to officials. and we know that there and the case of kolomoiskyi was also served with suspicion, and i think that what if such activation is happening not just like that, but for certain reasons, it is connected, first of all, with the fact that it is really a long war that needs constant

support of ukraine and, moreover, additional help if we want it not to be easy aid and if this aid is necessary for our victory, then this causes certain discussions , especially if there is a pre-election period in certain countries. for example , in the united states, it is already obvious that in the pre-election campaign the topic of additional aid and how much is there is, well, if this aid is monitored, it will definitely be to be used are statements from various western leaders that draw attention to the fact that it is very important for ukraine not to give reasons for doubting the provision of such assistance , meaning corruption instruments when within these countries, the societies understand that this is part of the funds that could have been wasted within these states and when the war continues

for a long time, well, there is still a certain fatigue and there are internal political and economic contexts of these states, after all, it is important that ukraine does not give such ghosts for corruption for doubts. yes, there is a need to provide such assistance, so it is good that attention is drawn to this. directly to the personality of the president and to the responsibility of the government. this is also correct because there is a war where there is a certain centralization of power, if you can say so, if we are talking about military administrations and there are, as it were, the realities of the 19th year , when, in fact, there is only one political the force or the command er headed er almost all branches of government. well, it was not almost like that, and in this sense , the majority of the responsibility

still lies with the authorities, but fine. i repeat that now attention is drawn to this because in the context of the elections, which will be in the next one year in many countries, as well as in the context of the growth within european countries of these ultra-right and ultra-left political forces , which are precisely the acts that use the topic of the correctness of the economic course of the authorities of e-e countries, that is, they are not not for putin and not for russia, they do not say this so openly but they are in the style of orban, they are beginning to question the sanctions there, they say that it is not known whether this aid will solve the war at all, and so on. therefore, it is possible not to give, i repeat, another reason in ukraine in order to question and in addition there is another component - this is our movement towards the european union. there are certain requirements that are stipulated by the candidacy for membership

of the european union, and these requirements still provide for structural transformations within ukraine of reforms, not only the strengthening of the front, but that's why if we want to have a result here, if we want the next report to record positive changes, then here, well , it can't happen without somehow overcoming corruption risks and without strengthening the institution, that's why and if so as it were to sum up, the war is long, after all, it requires equal development, as well as the strengthening of both this military defense and the front, as well as solving problems in the rear, because if it is long and we want to win, then we must be strong

from the inside. well, i think that's what draws attention to it well, mono-mono the power or mono-majority requires mono-responsibility, you have to say so, because here it is very simple, if you own the entire situation in the state, then one way or another you are responsible for everything because, uh, as they said in the 19th year, eh how many more than 200 there are? deputies passed to the verkhovna rada with one passport, volodymyr, that's why, in principle, i don't understand why there is such a stormy discussion about the responsibility of the president because, well, how can it be in a state where you control all branches of government and manage all branches of government. and you mentioned you mentioned ms. lesya about the next elections that will be held in 2024. zelenskyy recently gave an interview and said that in the conditions that exist in ukraine, he will not be able to leave

ukraine. if suddenly the elections are held in in the 24th year, he will run again for the presidency, well, at least this will be the context, it was necessary to understand how likely it is that elections in ukraine can take place, for example, at the end of the 24th year, i will return to the topic of corruption in just one sentence, absolutely serhiy is correct you said that responsibility is possible in the 19th year, when volodymyr zelenskyi and his team said that early parliamentary elections are necessary in order to have the opportunity to implement changes and for it is necessary to update the parliament, then they told him that it is okay , but then the responsibility will be exclusively on one team, and this is understandable , but i think that this kind of resonance is causing inside ukraine not because there is no understanding of conditional responsibility, because for some reason they believe that this the topic seems to play along with those political forces who want to say

, what do you see in ukraine, there is a high level of corruption , so we cannot provide more help there, but i do not think so and i think that on the contrary it is better to talk about these topics now and if there are such fears in the west, then you can't pretend that they don't exist, and on the contrary, you should n't be afraid to say that yes, we have problems, we are a post-soviet country, but we do the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, we react to it and then it will be right. and now returning to the question about the elections. well, i think that a lot will depend on what the situation will be in our country at the front, that is, whether we will have victories and what kind of victories there will be, because it is clear that on the wave military victories, if only for the government may be the most favorable moment if volodymyr zelenskyy is thinking about

a second term, then it is clear that this will be a favorable moment, but if the war will carry on like this, well, if the stalemate confrontation is long enough and this war will already be long and will be felt and internal problems within society, it is not a fact that the authorities will be interested in the elections, that is, here, after all, i think that volodymyr zelenskyi's team currently does not have a clear answer about the expediency of holding elections, because it is clear that on the current moment and so competition well, as such, there is no competition, we know that we still have a limited informational component due to the war, and the agenda that concerns security is still dominating, and just on this background, well, if we were to hold elections, this can be precisely

characterized power that can place , for example, its interest in having the opportunity to be re-elected now over the security challenges, so i think that volodymyr zelenskyi's team does not yet have a clear answer, if there is an understanding that there is some kind of favorable period when it is possible to be re-elected but still, the security challenges are significant, so i think that everything will depend directly on the military component and the security component, so i think that the decision for today, i will repeat, there is no election and the monopolization of the media market, well, especially the television market, we know that there is a television pool, the only telethon that is actually managed from one center and provides information about what is happening in the state, and the majority of ukrainian citizens are obviously already switching to alternative sources

of information, in particular, to the espresso tv channel because our rating continues to grow thanks to the way the single telethon works, but the absence of these elections, the monopolization of the media, of course, the concentration of power and management during the war, what challenges will we face in the internal politics of ukraine after our victory over russia, when will the elections be held, that is, what awaits us in view of these are all factors. well, i still wouldn't exaggerate the risks related to the monopolization of the concentration of power or the lack of competition, because after all , ukraine is, well, if it had traditions political competition, we still have a tradition of free elections, and in this sense it is impossible to change it. it seems to me that after all, if we talk about risk, then

we are talking about the fact that for politicians, all these old practices that existed before i think that these practices are not working, this also applies to populism, and it all applies to logic , the accused are excuses that are very often used by political opponents. depending on the ratings, and i think that there would be prospects for those political forces who will have a vision and who will not just spread populist slogans or who will exclusively blame each other , those who have a vision and as specific as possible for example, if we say about foreign policy or about internal transformations, i.e. absolutely that this

would not have a concrete character, i think that such political forces or politicians can be perceived in a new way, and the risks are that we understand what if we talk about the country , the risks about the citizens, it consists in the fact that, understanding that the security component and the external one are dominant today because we defend ourselves from external aggression, but there are very risks in that we can lose the inertia and momentum of internal transformations. and it would be it is very good that this external impulse yes . if there were any changes

foreseen by our candidate for membership in the european union, but there are fears because there is also a war there and because of the fear and yet the efforts of politicians to fall into the eyes of old practices , cowardice, yes, honestly communicate , discuss, discuss - that we can simply lose this time that we could use in order to significantly strengthen and do everything to strengthen within the country, after all, no one canceled either the judicial reform, the fiscal reform, or the reform of the management system, because now we have everything it is actually happening according to the law, but even before the competitions there are also big questions about how it all happened, but all these problems are not going away and i would not like, if we are talking about risks, that we simply do not use this time, including for important internal changes and

transformations in this, well, i see a risk if we are talking about the country and citizens. well, there is obviously a risk that the current team is so diverse and sometimes says quite different things in public , so that later something has to be explained , such as an adviser to the office of the president of ukraine mykhailo podolyak, who said that the intellectual level of india, china is quite low and they cannot calculate their future there. i suggest you watch this fragment separately because it is magical, just what is the problem of india, china, and so on. the problem of these countries is that they are not they analyze the consequences of their own steps , the weak intellectual potential of these countries. unfortunately, they invest in science

. что такое современные мир, эти страны сегодная на этой вонне рабабатывают рабабатывают, in the same way as the turkish republic, this is basically national interests , it sounds beautiful, we respect the needs of our national interests . in principle, we cannot develop a normal missile program and create missiles that would reach moscow. well, it is also kind of funny on the one hand, and on the other hand, the representatives of india and china are outraged because this is the official spokesman of the office of the president of ukraine, they cannot understand, well, how can this be, that is, that ukraine is, it is clear that india and china are the countries that receive some kind of profile from the war, but they cannot understand what they are doing podolyak how are you

what do you think podolyak is for? actually, i think that podolyak wanted to say something else, but he said the way he said it, he wanted to say it like i did. well, how do i understand the level of enlightenment in which the authorities might be interested? well, if there is one, let's say in democratic countries where there are elections and so on, and the government is interested in the native enlightenment, or whatever, if it is higher, the more weighted, their own citizens are still approaching the choice in countries that, well, may have certain tendencies there. well, maybe it does not work like that, but that does not mean that it is necessary to formulate that someone there is low i mean, it was said incorrectly. but i think that podolyak wanted to say something else, but if we do not take into account personalities and how to stand in this situation, then i think that, of course, in the conditions of war, when we compete for the same countries that continue to cooperate economically with russia. and this includes india and china in particular, but we compete for the attention of these countries

, and the west. similarly, if we talk about india and china, an ambassador has already arrived . and we also have some points from the peace plan that is why we support china under such conditions. every word and every wording must be approached very carefully, and if this is a government team , then i think that a clear line should be drawn here, and it should come from professional profilers. departments, in particular, from the ministry of foreign affairs to these, well, if only professional profile positions, they should be taken into account, well, in their interview comments, probably all those who are related to the president's team and those who can comment on it, so you just have to be very careful here because if we even take away the words about the intellectual level there and simply

take it as a fact that it is true that china and india have economic relations with russia, they do not support sanctions, but still we must treat these countries with the same attention what does the ministry of foreign affairs do, but all the others, well, if the official advisers there are spokespeople, they should take this position into account and simply be as careful as possible with their words , so here i think that, well, it’s just that podolyakhka freely decided to comment, although he probably meant something else, he said the way he said it that is, i repeat once again, one must be very careful and exacting with one's words, and by the way, the war would have stopped this trend when everyone in the ruling team commented regardless of authority, and there, well, if only on it took some time, well, if this equilibrium appeared and it is very important that this equilibrium, when

the relevant department deals with its sphere of responsibility, that it continues and continues . thank you, mrs. olesya, this is olesya yakhno, a political expert, and we continue our broadcast, those who are now watching live on youtube please vote in our poll today we are asking you about whether ukraine needs diplomatic relations with belarus now yes no and your option please write in the comments, like this video, so that it progresses in youtube trends well, we are still in touch yaroslav lysenko, junior lieutenant of the third battalion of the operational assignment svoboda, part of the rapid response brigade of the national guard of ukraine, the border , mr. lieutenants, i congratulate you, i would like to see you on our air, thank you for your advice and have a good evening. good evening tonight military counterintelligence of the sbu and the navy of ukraine conducted a unique special operation near yevpatoria

, the triumph air defense complex was destroyed, the cost was 1 billion 200 million dollars , this is the third time already during this program, this is i remember and the joy is simply bursting from our defense forces and fighters who carry out similar special operations. does this mean that we are moving to a completely different phase of the war with russia ? when planes are used that launch missiles in crimea, there are cruise missiles that are used in deoccupation of the peninsula as the situation that will develop around the peninsula now affects the eastern front and the southern front that we are focusing on the fact that there is cotton in sevastopol near yevpatoria, but obviously we need to

look more broadly at the entire front line. and it is quite great for us thank you for the very interesting question i am happy first of all for us for all crimea is like news from the future then we still have to get to dzhankoy then to bakhchisaray and then to sevastopol and when we hear that there we already have success and the success that really works is really very important because these systems, so that everyone understands, they are artificial. i don't know how many of them were produced in russia in russia, but i think there are no more than 10 of them currently in service in russia, so they are destroyed as well as submarine so what large amphibious assault ships, this means one thing that we have a deeply worked out and intellectual plan for moving forward . i think we will put order in all the bays in which the chechen ships are now standing, or did they

somehow fail to sleep while resting and will be hit by our missiles, or rather not by ours i think it's a shadow storm launched from our planes, but after all, they are already ours and work for us, and then there will be, i think, a very big blow-up of the crimean bridge and a very decisive breakthrough, and everything according to our scenario run from that panic agony everything is as the russians like it they expect it they will endure it they know what it can be morally they are already ready i said a long time ago in the spring that morally they are ready to retreat just for us we wanted it to be simple and all large-scale as a year ago in kharkiv oblast and recently very recently in kherson oblast

. well, it probably doesn't work out like that. 7 the enemy has to play a long game. to the pilots and especially to all those who supply us with this equipment, i would like to point out once again, unfortunately, there is also sadness in this, because i would like to remind us more than anything that during the second world war, only sudibekners were based on which the famous katyushas were based in quotation marks more than 360,000 were delivered, i don't remember how many tanks there are, whether it's 14 or 16,000, but these are incompatible numbers that we are receiving now, which are delaying our victory and cannot save the lives of our soldiers, because at the front, you understand, now the best training what is happening now on the eastern front , where are you now, because today such rather strange information appeared from the deputy minister of defense, hanna malyar, that andriyuka was released in the direction of bakhmut , then there was a refutation from the third separate

assault brigade, that is, the authorities say what you should believe official information , it is correct and the only correct one even during the war . it is probably correct, but in this situation with andriemka, it is not at all clear what is happening now in that area of the front where you are now, if it is possible to say, part of our unit is located a little not near kurdyum, which we fought near it, about 5-6 months ago, when the enemy had offensive actions on bakhmut , now part of our unit is located north of bakhmut, but i will tell you between the words, i guess that's why we need to discuss, uh, they took that settlement, do we still need a day or two? well, i wouldn't object to that . let it be as it is, and it will be, well, look at the same situation, i'm a kurd myself.

i've been there from zelenopillya several times. you can
