[000:00:00;00] that the main problem is russia, and under pashinyan, russia will be there , as you said, its influence will decrease, it is clear that there is no such russia in azerbaijan either, there is still one in georgia , but it is not like that in general, sooner or later russia will leave, then arises, then the direct answer is to my question, which will be in 10 years, most likely it will be the same, only without russia, well, roughly, roughly, yes. you can say now, because, first of all, thanks to ukraine, in 10 years the existence of russia will be in question, then it is not known what will happen there, maybe the fate of the soviet union will overtake it, i mean, now i am in europe, here, for example, i am invited to all kinds of events of the people of free russia, yes, that is it, but if we are talking about armenia, it is clear that this is what the opposition is, it is also necessary to clarify this picture a little, for example, the armenian

opposition, in contrast to, say, georgia. especially since the armenian opposition in azerbaijan is financially rich, it is sometimes called the opposition of millionaires, but it is not leaderyan, sargsyan, others, these are millionaires , these are oligarchs, they have enough money, when someone quotes the armenian media, you should always pay attention, whose media is this, the majority, somewhere around 70% of the armenian media, it obeys the opposition, that is, pashinyan's power is weaker, he only has administrative resources, and he is a little bit more charismatic and enjoys popularity, this is a paradox, he lost the war in the twentieth century, now he has lost karabakh, but approximately 60% of the population supports him, because they are not loved in armenia even more of the former, these kocharians and so on, but behind them is russia, this is a serious factor, i did not for nothing say about the gyomri base, this is a serious factor, after all, they are a new generation,

they are still in armenia for the time being, to do away with russia, after all, russia managed to turn against itself, well, almost all the peoples of the former soviet union, to their own, thank you very much, thank you very much, arif yunusov , an azerbaijani political scientist and conflict expert , was with us, it was very interesting, realistically, i would later ask my colleagues so that they can him next week, where did they find it, because this kitchen is very complicated, and it is necessary to study it somehow. at least i'm interested in it, maybe because i lived in the soviet union for many years, many decades of my life, and that's why it's not for me, something like that is completely unfamiliar, and azerbaijan and armenia, and i've been to all countries, at least in azerbaijan for sure, and now back to ukraine, one way or another we have to talk with andrii smoly, lawyer, political expert, public figure, good health, mr. andrii, thank you for

finding time for us. well, look, this is it a question for a lawyer, first of all, well, we know that there is a legal dispute in the gas , ukrainians, russians, experts, lawyers, it is about genocide, as a reason for the fact that russia attacked ukraine, conversations are also starting that. reviews the status of crimea before negotiations with the west, 54th year, and here the main question for a lawyer is precisely, look , when we are talking about the soviet union, there was no real jurisprudence, as there was no science, well, it’s just that there are signatures somewhere, but could not be a signature, khrushchev simply

said, transfer this there, and everything here and for there is no need for any decisions , votes, discussions, just said, the first person said and that's all, and now when we start some kind of court processes, let's imagine that they start, then they start looking, and where are the documents, that's how you can unite the country , where there is no law with international law, and people come to, well, let's imagine and say, why do you think that, ukrainian gentlemen, that crimea is yours, and no, and don't drink anywhere, well, conditionally, now we know that there is the decision is on paper, but it could not be, he just said politburo, hand it over, and that’s it, and then there is no evidence , that is, how to combine it, so we say, yes, lawyers are in charge, but there are no lawyers here, they say, and so there

was just some kind of decision, look, if we speak from a legal point of view point of view, the first question is that such a state as the soviet union no longer exists , i.e. the autonomous republic of crimea, this territory. actually, it was recognized as ukrainian in 1991, and for several years in a row, various states already recognized the restoration of ukraine's independence. that is, de facto, if we speak for the idea, legal facts, we actually rely on the international recognition of ukraine in 1991, but what was good then, was then, but i say again, russia will refer to what, to a state that no longer exists, that is, a certain

such a legal case: it is one thing if russia existed at that time, and theoretically ukraine was part of russia itself, well, again, we understand that de facto ukraine was part of russia, as a socialist republic, but de jure ukraine. was part of the soviet union, which no longer exists, therefore here, russia can really manipulate these certain facts and certain imaginary legal nuances, yes, but on the other hand, if russia manipulates these historical factors, be it legal factors invented by them, then in this way we can generally turn to the beginning of the 20th century, 19th century, 18th century, when crimea - the territory of modern crimea, did not belong at all, including the soviet union, and before that it belonged, de facto, to the russian

empire, which also does not exist, de yure and de facto, and also i didn't have much before that relation, you see, to the russian empire had nothing to do with any of the countries at all. that is, if we are talking about legal facts, this is actually the plane through which russia is trying to manipulate, but in fact, i will say this, they are manipulating these facts only for the sake of one thing: to prolong the judicial process as much as possible. so, if we now look at the procedural side of this whole process, then we have a situation where now... the international court of justice in the hague has jurisdiction to determine whether it is his absence, that is, we we are not even talking about the fact that the case is being considered on its merits, no, the case is not being considered on its merits, now, in essence, there were

arguments from our side, arguments from the side of the aggressor state, the occupying state, after which the court approximately, if we talk about procedurally different moments, will... a few months only consider whether it is his jurisdiction, that is, review all conventions, all legal mechanisms, maybe there will be some legal debates, the parties will once again provide some evidence, that is, in the vernacular, saying so that the audience understands, and only after this, tentatively somewhere around the new year, if lucky, again, they will determine if it is their jurisdiction, and that's when they determine: when it is already their jurisdiction, let's say they determined, yes, then the case begins to be considered on the merits, and then from scratch, again

the arguments of the parties, different legal visions, so to speak, of the parties, and in fact, this case can drag on for years, as in principle, traditionally, it is already in international courts, that's how, especially international courts, especially... instances, institutions that refer to organizations of the united nations. that is, we understand that yes , we really have good prospects, yes, our delegation, our representatives are very optimistic about the future possible decision of this court, but we must understand that it will not happen this year and probably will not happen even in next year, it can happen there in the best case 25th 26th year again in the best case, a question from neviglas, mykola veresnya, who does not understand anything in jurisprudence, but if we find

10 now, you said, i just caught this one the phrase that there are good prospects, i understand that without evidence, it is difficult, i did not listen to them, the parties to the conflict are legal. in mind and so on, but if you take the 10 best international referees, sit down with them somewhere in a secret place with a drink, for today. and who can, who is most likely to win the case? ukrainians or russians? that is, i just want to draw a conclusion for myself, is it politics or jurisprudence , what are we talking about, that is, we are talking about jurisprudence, and what is russia talking about, because if the 10 best judges, uh, admit that this is a ukrainian matter, it is beneficial for ukraine, it will mean for me that the russians also understand it, but it's just theirs, well, them.

hired to defend this and that case, when everyone knows that this is a murderer, eh, and and , but he also has a lawyer, although there are 45 witnesses that this is a murderer, and there is evidence, and there are photographs, there are signatures, and from a print fingers and so on, please, mr. andriy, you understand, this question also arises here, we will be frank with the audience and will frankly say that this is not only a legal process, and that's it. you are right emphasized the fact that this process can also be political, because , one way or another, the political component and the political vision of the civilized world, the political vision of the conditional western world, it will still have an influence in one way or another, and why russia itself is also trying to fight, not because they think there, we are 100%.

we will lose, and because they, that's how, that's how we are now fighting, how our war is going on, putin and his entourage think that we will play a long game, we will press, we will, we let's relatively speaking, buy time, and maybe, maybe, in a year two or three, as they think to themselves, the chance to leave, at least as it is now, will burn out. returning to the situation with our court, russia is trying to use approximately the same tactics in their minds here as well, they think that we will now prolong this process as much as possible and see what will happen in two or three years, maybe again from their point of view sight, there will be some fatigue from ukraine. war fatigue,

and then we will promote ours politically context, including within the framework of the court, because judges are also people, and especially when judges do not judge according to national legislation, but when they are people, when these people judge according to conventional international law, which is not always clear, but very often quite blurred, therefore according to international law you... how many times this international law is already violated in our world, it concerns not only ukraine, it concerns other states. russia and ukraine want to build something like this paradigm for themselves, which is important for ukraine, for ukraine it is important in this context that the court process does not drag on, because relatively speaking, if you look at it now, it is from a legal point of view, from the point of view of recognition of ukraine. as states within the framework of territorial integrity, russia is

the aggressor, russia invaded the sovereign territory, and crimea is the sovereign territory of ukraine. therefore, from a legal point of view, and a political point of view at the moment, yes, ukrainians believe, our delegation believes, that the prospects are very, very good, and russia believes, yes, today these prospects are quite bad for ukraine, but we will wait, we let's pull it, and then you'll see, you see how they are now in sports, the paralympic games, uefa , the way they are trying to break into the youth national team, then into the youth, the youth segment, so to speak, yes, that is, they are waiting, relatively speaking, for someone somewhere corrupt, well, i will not talk about judges here, but some organizations politically corrupt some fields of journalists

abroad, they try to advance their point of view over time, this is their logic , whether it works or not, i am not here i will take it, because geopolitics is such a thing, which may change in two or three years, and we must be frank with the audience, this is their opinion and their point of view, why they cling so much to this process and also want to re...' thank you very much, andriy smoliy, lawyer, political an expert, a public figure was with us, thank you very much, thank you very much, but i have 40 seconds or 30 seconds to say something. well , in my boyish mind, this is a very weak position in russia, because if you translate it from the legal language of andriy smoly into the ordinary language of mykola veres, it is avos, avos shto will happen, the russians think, and this

will prevent ukraine and the international community from winning the case, but this is a weak position, a strong one. iryna, no, iryna koval, a strong position will emerge in 14 minutes, and now there will be a story about combat medics who save lives on the front line, let's take a look at the front line, most of us are not on the front line now, but it's worth looking in and understanding sometimes, what is happening there, apart from hostilities, a lot is happening there, in particular, the heroism of ukrainian medics. antwerp miner on especially in matches against the belgian champion , the miners need to score maximum points. on october 4 at 19:45 cheer for the victory of shakhtar, turn on the champions league, exclusively on megoogo. there is a cough, there are discounts on mukaltin,

museum territory of terror. the jewish ghetto of lviv was transformed by the soviet occupiers into a prison, which led to the holag. the best no example of symbiosis of two totalitarian regimes can be found. the nazis created this is a ghetto to destroy the jewish population of the city, from this place there was only one way to the death camps. the bolsheviks used this experience to send their prisoners, their enemies of the people , to death camps, ugulahs. and today it is already modern. ukraine is being attacked by a regime that has become the heir to both of these totalitarian dictates,

both of these inhumane practices. the road to auschwitz, the road to holah leads to allenka. i understand, i will not be able to sit at home, and why we will have more layoffs, or since we have a lot of wounded guys, we simply will not have anyone to defend our land, on the one hand, and on the other hand, there will be no help for them, when the full-scale invasion began, i was at that time in a private clinic in civilian life, i was at work with a child, before that i was a volunteer from the age of 15, also a doctor, a volunteer, but in the volunteer unit of the police, well, like most men

who went through the ato school, let's just say they don't could stand aside, well, i was the same, i couldn't go abroad, leave , let's say, my family, because none of my relatives wanted to go abroad, because this is our land, our home, no one wanted to leave, and i went to serve, which was the first, when the first, the first, the army that did not want to take me immediately, because i am single mother and how they had the question that so far your services are not needed, do better child, i'm stubborn, on the second day i was on duty, which is the hardest part of work a doctor at the front? honestly, for me it is to look

at the pain of the boys, at their injuries, at their pain, this is the most difficult, but how do you cope with it , i just pick myself up, support them, support myself, because i know that help must be provided. the medics of the 11-member special mission save the lives of fighters in the kherson direction, their team consists of up to five people, they go to the contact line almost every day, the main thing is to treat the wounded. they are equipped in all suitable premises. usually we try to act as follows, that is, we come to some settlement, we find a room that was previously used as a medical institution, or a first aid station , or some kind of medical clinic, but it can also be that we simply occupy any suitable room, arrange it for ourselves, of course , it is most convenient with the help of such all the walls can be hung up and in principle work, that is, everything is always at hand , we even use such organizers in cars, that

is, not in those that are already equipped with sanitary transport, ambulances, but we did it on our own, from a truck, well, with a cargo bus was used as an ambulance, and there was actually such a convenient organizer hung on the wall, that is, in fact, we can equip any room for a medical center for... in general, if we work as a stabilization center, because there are , well, several options the work of a medical post, and well, just as there are several options for the work of combat use, there are also several options for the work of a medical post, namely, if we work as a stabilization post, then these are five jobs, well up to five, no more five, because the number of medical personnel counts up to five workplaces, each place is equipped with a bed, or any table, that is... a work table, let's say, some bedside tables, some shelves, and so on of course, of course, it must be a monitor, it is minimal, well, we have it,

that is, you can see these monitors there. and there is one organizer for each workplace, this is, let's say, a working scheme that we have implemented and work for ourselves, but they must be present for everything, that is, not for every workplace place, and above all, it must be equipment for heating solutions , because, well, it is still warm now, but still there are situations when infusion solutions need to be heated, and many doctors now only start talking about it later, well a year and a half of a full-scale war, but in fact, it is, let's say, a masthev in every unit, that is, at every stage, not only medvaku, but also keise vaku, when a combat medic takes out, that is, it must be done, that is, here, the following - this equipment for the preparation of these solutions, i.e. for mixing , for preparation, infusions of all sorts, dressing material , surgical material, the monitors themselves and

the equipment for them, because there are a lot of wires, well, it all has to be connected, stored somewhere to it was all at hand, everything was quite convenient, and we always allocate a place separately for, uh , outpatient reception, because war is war, but the sick don’t go anywhere, military personnel get sick, that is, we additionally equip a place for this, well and the same, let's say yes, this is the most unpleasant moment - it is a playground for the disgraced , that is, for those who will die anyway, the servicemen to whom help should be provided. it will be impossible, in april of this year we were on duty for our wounded serviceman, and a lancet, a barrage drone, such an impact drone, flew into our medical vehicle , as a result of this, the car was also destroyed, and yes, the car was completely destroyed, it cannot be repaired , we managed to see, but for help, well, tolik was seen by the driver who came from

i was, well, he is actually a doctor, at that time, he was acting as a driver, he saw that this lancet was flying at us, we reacted, you managed to jump out of the car, and already from the time when we were jumping out of there was an explosion in the car, which easily hurt me, that is, i had shrapnel in my leg, shrapnel in my hand , penetrating, blind and through, well, a severe contusion, and tolik also had such a wound, his legs were mostly wounded , in fact, to remove defenders from the line of contact, medics need cars. here's what it is very cool that this particular machine has a stretcher system, it is so convenient that in fact one serviceman can completely load a wounded person on these stretchers and load him into the car, that is, while the medic is preparing what, well, usually we have two people leaving , for the trip, it is the driver and the medic , while the medic prepares what needs to be entered here, what needs to be done for the wounded, to stabilize him, to prove him successful,

then the driver can load him and, well, load him here. car, this is a very convenient moment, the next moment is the caps that we have here, well, here of course, we already have all our property, there is oxygen, and larengeal sets for intubation, the sets that we already put there, on the other hand, we have there oxygen tanks , but we still try with them, if we understand that there is constant shelling, then we don't leave, the medics are trying to fix what survived on their own, but now they need our help, it's absolutely necessary. the car costs uah 4,000, they have already opened the collection and chosen the right one for themselves transport, you can also help by the details you see on the screen. the ideal option, well, as we have already decided for ourselves, these are volkswagens, transporters, or trucks that we recycle, but of course it is better that it is a prepared sanitary car, and they are four-wheel drive, we

naturally need four-wheel drive, because those roads , on which we drive, they are far, far away... not asphalt, this is not a highway, how fast do you need it? for yesterday, 19:00 in ukraine, news time, on the espresso tv channel, in the studio. koval, greetings to all viewers a powerful explosion rang out in prykarpattia. the mayor of the district reported that five people were injured, they are in the hospital with burns. oil got into the strymbu river. around 5 p.m. , an oil pipeline burst near the village of strymba, nadvirnya district. oil spilled and caught fire. the fire spread to a private house. all relevant services are on site. now in
