[000:00:00;00] the arab population in europe, in order to interfere with the lives of others again, and that's all , please tell me, the russians want to turn avdiyivka into a second bahmud, and for what, to what extent, in general, the positions near avdiivka can really change their overall strategic situation in donbas at the front, well, they choose such objects for which they have good logistics, because where they have bad logistics, it is better for them to flee, and they plan it carefully... but for the shoigu, the situation here is enough simple, he needs another object in order to divert attention from bahmud, because putin spent 10 million dollars there to take bahmud for a year, and if it is lost, shaigu will be responsible for it, so shaigu will now try to find some other object

to pass off a great victory, so that it will slowly disappear there, please, yes, yes, we hear you, so that it is possible to politically calmly lose the bahma, and tell me, in your opinion, will the ukrainian troops be able to finally gain a foothold on the bridgehead on the opposite bank of the dnieper, and what will happen next with such an attack i think that the ukrainian armed forces will be able to establish themselves in the south of the kherson region, and push back the muscovites, well, at least for a long time, because today they have very difficult logistics there, it is a problematic logistics, it is necessary to deliver 100 tons of food there every day , ammunition, kits, that is, it's just logistical hell, and they don't like such difficult tasks, they'll try to operate

where they're comfortable, then... they're comfortable, they operate there, no more, no less, that is they have some strategic military goal no, they are trying to act as long as possible, to wear out ukraine and act where it is convenient for them, that's all, but there is some military doctrine, some military, there is military art, there is no question in principle, that is, they will not act in those cities where they can be defeated, they will act in exactly this way, and accordingly. in the south of the kherson region, they will now be preparing to retreat, because logistics are becoming more and more difficult, and the successes of the armed forces of ukraine are getting better and better. thank you sir mykhailo, mykhailo prytula, a military expert, a reserve colonel of the security service of ukraine, an expert in military counter-intelligence was in touch with us, and now we will move on to the middle eastern issue, mr. mykhailo has already mentioned it, our next interlocutor, serhii megdal, former

officer of international security expert of the israel police department, welcome to you, mr. serhiy, thank you, everyone is happy to see, hear, well, let's talk about what is happening now, in particular, near this famous alshifa hospital, which is considered part of infrastructure of hamas, it is generally terrible to say that in fact the entire infrastructure is under hospitals, there is such an impression , yes, of course, it is not a secret , they agree with it well officially out loud, as the americans say, which is not often, how would i know this place , i was there when i was still a young soldier, that is, at the beginning of the nineties, these are the main buildings that you saw on the video, all of them are modern, they were built mainly

by israel, and then something else was added on qatari money, and it was the rear from the sixty-ninth year... the hospital of our, as it were, southern front, that is, for example , the wounded were brought there from the soviet canal in the seventy-third year during the doomsday war , and the hospital was built according to israeli standards, i built the state construction company solybone, and there was a huge shelter under it, and as i understand it, hamas, as part of its twenty-year project of building these tunnels of its underground systems, connected this shelter to this system, it is only necessary to understand, this is a command post, it has already been abandoned by hamas militants, their leaders, this is ikhysinvar, their chief of staff, such an invalid is muhammad dev, whose legs were torn off by a rail bomb once, they have already moved, i think, in the first days to the south, they have there, maybe not so big, comfortable, but a spare command post,

somewhere under the place called this is closer to the egyptian border, eh, so it will be interesting when we see the footage soon of this command bunker itself, when they will be announced by the zeal press secretary, while this has not yet been resolved in the publication. but by itself this will not yet mark an important point in the war, it is simply one of the stages of establishing full israeli control over the entire northern half of the gas sector, and in parallel, if you see in the news , you can already see that they are already starting to work on the southern part of the sector gas is more active, there is troop movement, but there is certainly a bigger problem for the civilian population located there, both the residents themselves and who moved there from the north. we're having a little bit of communication problems right now, i'll tell you, i think we're going to reconnect with mr. serhii now, i'll tell you that you know that there's talk now about expanding this operation,

that's what we wanted, just to discuss, and this expansion, it can also be related to the actions of half-bearers. because really now the leaders of the terrorist organization hamas are determined to continue their struggle with the jewish state, they have moved from the north to the south, now they are obsessed with command posts, but there's nobody, nothing in these command posts, the idf is literally right now, demonstrating, part of the hamas tunnel network under the shifa hospital that we talked about with our interlocutor, it really looks, i would say, convincing, how big it is, extensive tunnel system, and now the question arises

as to how it will be possible, by and large, to create opportunities for this situation, connected with the expansion of the operation, to lead to the destruction of the leadership of the terrorist organization hamas, at least in the territory the sector itself. it is worth reminding that most of the leaders of hamas are not only in the gas sector, but we already have mr. serhiy. and let's talk about the expansion of the operation, so i'm telling the audience what it should look like, is it possible to act quickly in the south of the gas sector? eh, this is a simple question, precisely because we ... not only are the americans asking us to carry out this entire operation as carefully as possible, so that there are as few casualties as possible among the civilians of the gas sector, but also because

we ourselves want to avoid the natural death of civilians, so there is a kind of combination here, since, after all , it is primarily a military operation, do not forget that we have declared the 7th state of war for the first time, and this is exactly war, and in our country... they often do not understand in the west, but i think they do in ukraine , yes, this is a total war for us, like the second world war, yes, which can only end with victory over the enemy, in this case , including destruction of this enemy, his regime, his military administration structures, nevertheless, at the same time, we still absolutely observe the laws of war, which means that we minimize losses among the civilian population, where it is possible to warn this population and remove it from the combat zone, since in general, as is known, after 67 year, this territory, actually gaza, it must be understood, it has always been occupied, yes, that is, first it was part of the turkish, ottoman empire, then

it was part of the british mandate in palestine, then from the forty-ninth year it was part of the two-war occupation of egypt for almost 20 years and after the sixty-seventh year under the military occupation of israel, it became... in 1994, this was practically the first territory along with the city of erejo, which is on the west bank, which became an integral part of the palestinian authority, so there is a lot of experience in israel, of course with by the palestinian arabs, so various non-combat units are already preparing for the water, yes, this is primarily the border police, the israeli analogue of the gendarmerie, the military police, various other units, units of the security service, which they will help with filtration, this is already an important point, now we almost did not do this, although it is already starting in the northern part, and there will also be filtration, people will be called up, everything is now moving to special safe zones, which will be

equipped just in the northern part the already pacified gaza sector, then there will already be a full-scale offensive from all sides to the south of the gaza sector, the blockade of the main forces of hamas there, we will see how it will happen, here... it is said, do not forget that this is what the proverb says in field two will, and it is clear that hamas will resist, no less fiercely, than islamic fighters. the states in rake or mosal, well, the americans called them deaders, but it means that they will have to be destroyed or taken prisoner, this is how it will turn out, the operation is not easy, but it must be understood that israel has no other alternative. tell me, how do you assess the possibility of actions on the part of, say, iran, in such a situation, to what extent iran refrains from any activity, even if they see that hamas really loses all

its real positions in gaza, it seems to me that iran will not be very upset about this, even if hamas is really destroyed, it will lose its power in gaza, and somewhere in the future, either the international coalition or even the structure of the palestinian authority will be the leader, and the integrity of the palestinian authority, that is, gaza, will be restored as it were. will return, it seems that it is hardly preferable for iran, on the other hand, it is very important to iran... on the one hand, pay attention, they do not directly interfere and practically said this in plain text the president of iran in his conversation with the head of the political bureau of hamas, who was in teheran, khonia, that you didn't warn us, you didn't consult us, when you carried out such a big attack, and somehow there is no money, but you hold on, but this is very typical, they are often willing to sacrifice yes... some proxies that they support, especially since

they do not have such an ideological affinity with hamas, for example, even as with the kushites or with ezballa, this sunni movement, which was, among other things , with them in a few years in very bad ones relations due to the conflict with syria , but it is clear that iran is trying its best to catch a tasty fish in this murky water of this conflict, while still not bringing the case, obviously, to a direct confrontation with the americans, but they all the time. .in

the red sea in the arabian sea did you see this text by president biden washington post? yes, i saw his article, i saw it, and it says that he sees two states as a result of this war, and, of course, this is the normal position of the establishment. parties, although many, by the way, of the republican party support it, except for the right wing, which is closer to the views of the extreme authorities, which generally deny the creation of a palestinian state, but still, these two states are the mainstream, one should not forget that it is still 40 years old, come on

, that there in the 40s, even in the 37th year, 1900, after the commission saw the famous, yes, jewish leadership... this is a sentence by section, palestine on the jewish, arab state, and then on much less favorable terms than the resolution of the year, 181, and nevertheless, the arabs rejected it even then, and even fled to berlin, where he was a personal guest of himmler and the founder of the same bosnian division, in the fortieth year, yugoslavia sentenced him to be hanged, which is nice, but all his deputies became officers later, they all served and then became the leaders of the palestinian liberation army, which was created in the forty-seventh year, that's why israel agreed. pay attention

that not only the left-wing israelis, not only the labor party, but including, in fact, even the likut party, benjamin netanyahu, who was also led by sharon, agreed, the corresponding memoranda with mahmoud abbas and president bush, where they even creaking their hearts, but in in general, they agreed on what they call a road map in english, a road map for the creation of a demilitarized palestinian state next to israel in the future, and this... i see that people from this progressive wing they cover with terrible red words, even the super progressive senator bernysan, a leftist, who is only a leftist, yes, but who is not a blind man, he saw what hamas did , he said, even he no truce until

hamas is destroyed, i hear there that people they are sobbing there, on twitter, throwing away their badges and t-shirts with the inscription 2016-2020 , that's all... they would just shoot themselves if they had a gun, but they don't, since they are still left-wing progressives, that's all we can do simple, thank you, thank you, mr. sergey, sergey migdal, a former officer of the international police department of israel, a security expert, spoke with us about the middle east, we will break for a few minutes, but don't switch, business as usual. are getting unreal, heavy bags are not for my sore back, for back pain, try kremgit. kremgit relieves pain, reduces swelling and improves joint mobility. with cream dolgit, what you want i will lift. dolgit is the only yellow cream for joint and back pain. ukraine-italy on mego-go, only victory

petro shevchenko, economic analyst, chinese expert, from china, he is joining us, we congratulate mr. petro, he will be here now, and we will talk with him about what is happening with the situation, which, now, we are observing after the meeting of the president. states and the president of the people's republic of china, many expected this meeting, many hoped that it would lead to some real results, well, in fact, such specific we did not see the results, and now we can practically talk about what is already a fact.

the dialogue is an important point for cooperation between beijing and washington, but at the same time, it must be stated that on such fundamental issues between china and the united states, serious differences remain, which may not be politically resolved in principle, because the issue of taiwan , which separates the people's republic of china and the united states by decades, there is no such concrete instrumental solution at all, i generally wanted would like to recall that until the beginning of the 70s, now in principle it was possible to talk about what the united states recognized as the legitimate government

of the people's republic of china, not the government that was located in beijing, well, it is located, the government of the people's republic of china, the government formed by the communist party of china, and the government in taiwan, and it was taiwan that held china's seat on the united nations security council until that moment. it only took a revolutionary decision by the president of the united states, richard lixon, who hoped to use americans sino-soviet confrontation to change the balance of the world in principle, and went to beijing for talks with the chairman of the communist party of china, mao zedong, so that china, firstly, agreed on diplomatic relations with the united states, and secondly. got a seat in the un, which means a seat in the security council of the united nations, thirdly,

to become an independent player claiming to join taiwan to the mainland, because until this moment the united states could just think that it is taiwan that has to attach yourself mainland. just think that there is a legitimate authority. of the republic of china, and now, after all this has happened, after the very essence of the relationship between the united states and taiwan has changed, in principle, it has been decided that the situation is changing in exactly the opposite way. so, petro shevchenko is already in touch with us, congratulations, mr. petro, i congratulate you, thank you. how the situation is perceived in china now,

after xi jinping's visit to the united states, something has changed from the point of view of the chinese observers? well, the situation from the point of view of chinese observers, it, it tends to such a cautious, positive vision that the competition will already be under control, and maybe china and the usa will manage to reach certain consensuses on the most pressing issues, this is, first of all , this great power competition, if we take the south china sea, this is, of course , taiwan, and also the chinese, they are optimistic that there will be certain concessions from the united states on the track of trade and economic relations, well, it will most likely not be the lifting of technological sanctions, but, for example, the removal of certain trade barriers or found from... new opportunities for trade, for investment, here is china, it is now aimed at this, and therefore if the this meeting, it was generally positive in china, that is, that

the relationship has a certain perspective, despite such a competitor. how much further, in principle , can we say that we have become further from any real conflict, military around taiwan, than before this meeting? well, i'm to you i'll be honest, from my point of view, this meeting was somewhat reminiscent of the rendezvous between president biden and the russian leader in the 21st year, for example, now such a principled decision was reached on drugs, on fentanyl, on the fight against this evil, and then, if you remember in 25, there were statements about cyber security , something like this, that is, what is meant, that most likely, that is, we did not become, if we were a witness to the fact that at all this possibility, this probability, here is a collision , she descended on manivka, she survived, but the fact that the states were able to agree on such , well, competitive, controlled competition is a positive fact, i think that this is exactly

the kind of military confrontation between the great powers, the nuclear powers, well, it will not happen, and what do you think, in in general, the chinese are now thinking seriously about the results of the presidential elections in taiwan, it is from these results that they are going to rebuild their policy in taiwan, yes, of course, you are right, everyone is waiting for the elections in taiwan and there are already news that the kuomintang is both chinese and the taiwan people's party, these are the opposition parties to the dpp, which is the oriented cooperation with washington, these parties, they have agreed on unification, and potentially, hypothetically, they have a chance if they win in this january election, the dpp itself, and then maybe there will be some , again, there are certain such steps on the part of both taiwan and beijing, regarding rapprochement, and i think that after these elections actually, well , there will be, we will understand the strategy of beijing and actually washington, that is, these elections, they are

decisive in taiwan, what do you think about relations between china and russia, when xi jinping is talking to biden, and putin is not talking, no one wants to have a dialogue with putin at all, how important is it for china that it is actually the only player in relations with america now, can china somehow represent moscow? i think, indirectly, china represents not just moscow, it represents, i would even say, such a continental country, that is, it is, it is such a forerunner that can include the interests of both tehran and moscow, and maybe even in some measures there and saudi arabia, that is, yes, relations with moscow, they remain relevant for pokikino, despite the fact that this is how everyone understands that china needs to somehow now reset, reset, reset trade relations with the us, the west, but nevertheless

russia remains such a geopolitical tool in the hands of china. then this importance is, it remains, well, again , for china, what is important is relations with the west, because everyone understands that we have entered such a bipolar reality that this old world order, he is already leaving little by little, he is going down on a trick, and we have now entered such a bipolar reality where there are already two such, well, strengthened voluses, so it is the usa, it is the strongest country on the planet, and china is, as it were, rising power, i.e. ukraine, which is already rising, then the power that is growing, china. is going to hold a summit of arab countries and muslim countries in order to find ways to solve the situation in the middle east, how realistic is this at all? well, given that now the focus is on very good relations with - israel, in fact, with telyaviv official, i don’t know how realistic it can be, and

again, china, what it is based on in the first place, it insists on trade as such a tool for building foreign political relations, and if we let's look specifically at the economic relations between israel and china, well, there are not very big numbers, actually, i think that china's main focus here is still this muslim mind, these arab countries, because it is a very interesting fact , literally after the meeting between biden and sydzenpin the next day china, he was very pompously presented in morocco at a meeting of arab countries. there was a forum of arab countries, and there china was presented as such, well, maybe even as a leader , that is, china, it is really oriented towards these arab countries, but whether its moderate initiatives will be real now, or whether history will repeat itself, well, actually with ukraine, well, i i think that we will see how it will turn out, well, the question arises, really, to what extent a country can be a mediator, when one of the parties does not consider it to be a real
