belarus, this decision was made by the country's government. they explained that this is how they are trying to solve the problems of national security, smuggling and violation of international sanctions. pedestrians and cyclists are also prohibited from passing through the umiadeninkai and shelcheninkai checkpoints, and train stops have been canceled at the kiana and cybertai checkpoints. the authorities also plan to halve the number of permits for belarusian and lithuanian carriers that carry out international passenger transportation by buses. but latvia is considering to replace the border with belarus and russia. all this is due to an increase in the number of saboteurs who are trying to enter the territory of the country, the state border guard reported. citizens of russia or belarus are increasingly being detained at the state border, who by all indications are military personnel, although they stubbornly deny it.

latvia also recorded attempts to disable it systems on the eastern border. they are making staples, shovels and axes for... ukrainian defenders. in the village of lebedyn in cherkasy region, a small forge has been operating since the first days of the full-scale war. mykola volyk, a local resident, set it up in his own yard. half of the volunteers are blacksmiths, women who have not dealt with this craft before. about the volunteer team, see below. a lawyer, a seamstress, a saleswoman, a housewife, a masseuse, put on gloves and began a difficult task. kuva in their free time from their main work and household chores , they rush here to the lybedinsk forge to help in the manufacture of staples, picks, shovels, axes. we are already used to it, so there is nothing difficult about it, at first it was difficult, but now

there was a very large demand for staples, people were tired, because the summer was such a difficult period, but i came according to the announcement, tried it, it was difficult. i doubted how it would turn out, because it's not easy to forge, but i learned nothing, now i'm happy. ruslan burkivskyi is a professional welder, every week in his spare time he rushes from his town of shpola to lebedyn. it was precisely because of women that i came here, because as a man i felt ashamed that women were doing men's work, because of this i called mykola and offered your. but since i am a welder by profession , yes, well, i found a place for myself here at the forge, because i am as efficient as possible here. the head of this project, aka logistics manager, fundraiser, pr specialist, 30-year-old mykola volyk. it all started with a request from a fellow villager

, military serviceman serhii kovita. he asked for help with staples for the unit. in his yard, mykola equipped an improvised forge and, together with his comrades, produced. the first few hundred staples. when it became clear that the need for staples and other accessories huge, they equipped a tent, turned to their fellow villagers for help, and the matter went away. we did. 160,000 hops, 127 burghers were boiled, 7,400 axes were made, oleksandr gubin is making them, he has already made a thousand axes, and 700 are people who brought down axes and we made them, boiled them, stuffed them, 13 pickaxes, 800 hedgehogs, tripods are the ones that cook porridge , it's like 1100, 10,000 soldapovsky shoulder blades were made , people also wore them out. from all the villages , we took down ordinary shovels, cut them and made small

shovels, and welded 6,700 pieces of hammers, everyone works for free and gives the manufactured products also for free, of course there is a lack of money, and this is almost the main difficulty of this work. our work here does not begin with tying, our work begins with the fact that we are looking for funds to purchase fittings. this is the beginning of our work, and today we are forging, tomorrow we don't have fittings, we search and forge ourselves, so sometimes it is more difficult to find funds than to actually forge. serhiy kovita smiles from a portrait on the wall of the forge, with whose light hand it all started. serhiy, unfortunately, died but without a doubt, the life of more than one of our soldiers was saved thanks to the efforts of the team of this forge. from cherkaschyna for... next edition at 11:00, stay with us,

so we're back, thanks for espresso, congratulations to those who joined us, and those who joined us can join a very good cause, we are real we understand that kamikaze combat drones are what saves our boys when they lack a bull, and here in the luhansk direction the boys are in great need, we will now show you this collection and tell them now drones are needed, combat drones, and that is why we are helping to collect such little birds, we have to buy 50 of them, they will fly to belogorivka in a hurry, and from there the routes are already obvious. boys and girls will decide for themselves which is better, for what and for what result,

we ask you to support this collection, because we need to collect 800 hryvnias, the account now has only 254,561 hryvnias, i understand that you have already donated 45 00 for this morning, it's a lot, but i say, it's always possible to do more and better, to make it easier and more efficient in the east, huh. we are that sometimes to aha, but in the meantime, we will add to our conversation teras zhovtenko, an expert on international security of the dem-initiative foundation. mr. taras, we congratulate you. greetings, good morning. well, we'll start with stand-up, in principle, of all genres, the most important in russia is the boring multi-hour stand-up. and yesterday's publicized speech by putin was actually one of the most boring from the point of view of internal lies,

he made promises, scared all the countries of the big seven that russia was economically beating them all, the truth is somewhere in the area of ​​zimbabwe show their indices of economic development, in a word, a bucket and a little more lies, but it interested the whole world and probably you too... it was precisely his things that concern the army and the development of the situation and the war, i am not talking about, well, not about those cartoons , which from time to time show about the wunderwaffe, which putin seems to have developed and will fight, and about absolutely specific things, for example, about the nuclear forces, the nuclear forces of the russian federation, which are at the highest level of readiness, and these next nuclear threats. veiled under allegedly under the fact that the country is under siege from all sides

by nato countries, how real and serious is russia's nuclear threat from the point of view of technical readiness? well, in fact, the context is important here, i will literally add two more strokes against the background of which this was announced, it was announced against the background of the official accession of sweden to nato, after that, the parliament of hungary still made a corresponding decision, and in fact, for the russian federation, this means closing the baltic sea and turning the baltic sea into an internal sea of ​​the north atlantic ocean. with everyone, so to speak so to speak, with the resulting consequences for the russian baltic fleet there, and accordingly for the russian kaliningrad region, which the kremlin has always considered as one of such bridgeheads in order to, well, at least strike with cruise missiles at nato member states, there is the central and and then western europe. and in fact, against

this background, the russian military-political leadership perfectly realizes that, well, actually. conventional, that is, conventional weapons and conventional forces in sufficient numbers to balance both at least the north-western direction and their borders, they already do not have enough, that is why these nuclear powers must be unearthed and, accordingly, these things must be shaken to the right and left, showing that the baltic sea is now a nato sea, and the internal, well, what is it that we don't have enough personnel and equipment, which we invest there by the hundred. thousands in the sky in ukraine, but we have nuclear forces, which means that we are modernizing and they are all always in full combat readiness. in fact, if you look technologically at what the russians have now on combat duty, well, putin, as always, has messed up, and that is, all those wunberwaffles, and about which he spoke, there are missiles, sermats and so on,

these are very long-term developments that began from the beginning of 2 years, and they never went into series production, that is, every time, well, periodically in russia they say that they are successfully testing them, and now, literally from today to tomorrow, they will start mass production, well, but we understand , that it is , firstly, a complex weapon, and, secondly, serial production is not as nikita serhiyevich khrushchev once said, that we make rockets like sausages, yes, that is, well, there will not be hundreds of them a year, and accordingly in order to saturate... well - the nuclear arsenal of such on the scale, as in russia, of such carriers, it will take more than one year, from the beginning, so to speak, of serial production, and there is also the issue of deploying them to productions on combat duty and so on, that is, all this is another fairy tale of hers, another cartoon, which, by the way, putin himself mentioned, so and so well, he was talking about it again, making

a reference to daggers, to zircons, to these so-called hypersonic missiles, which , to put it mildly, have not shown themselves very well for russia. in the russian-ukrainian war, so it's actually more of a signal to the west that , well, despite the expansion of the alliance, despite the fact that russia is losing conventional capabilities, the kremlin still considers nuclear, nuclear blackmail, the nuclear option as one of the options for responding to, well, let's say what is happening in the west and the reaction of the west and russian aggression, which continues not only against ukraine, but potentially putin can start all this against nato member countries, and by the way. another nuance - just a few days before this so-called message of the russian fuehrer , plans for russia's use of its nuclear arsenal in an armed conflict were made public , and it seems that the financial times published it, and although this plan is tentatively there for about 10 years, but nevertheless, there various scenarios of what the threshold

for russia's use of nuclear weapons are are described quite well clashes, well, with the use of conventional conventional weapons. yes, this threshold turned out to be much lower than previously thought, yes, that is, it says that if russia loses, for example, up to 20% of the fleet of underwater submarines, yes, missile carriers, yes, this will already be a reason to use nuclear weapons, the loss the loss of two strategic aviation airfields, also a reason for the use of nuclear weapons, the loss of two strategic military command points, this also appears to be the reason for the use of nuclear weapons, that is, actually. well, the russian army is preparing to use nuclear weapons for any reason, realizing that technologically they lag behind first of all in carriers, and in the missiles we talked about, and in airplanes, because these very jet tu-160 rocket carriers, they have very little, and they rely on tu-95 aircraft with turboprop engines, so this is a development of

the 55th year and so on, that is, it remains, let's finalize it simply. i'm looking at rosbusiness-consulting and rbc themselves, they say that in russia, where last year they released zero aircraft in all categories, they completely failed this superjet ssj project , the russian arsenal is a liquid-fueled missile, that is, the missile is sitting in a mine, so they could screw a warhead on top of it, but in order to prepare such a missile for launch, you need somewhere approximately from... 30 to 45 minutes, and only after that it will start, because the fuel finds, can be in this rocket literally there, well, 6-9 hours, then it has to be drained, because it starts to eat away the fuel tanks and the fuel system, and the flight time of, for example, american missiles, yes, well, it is from the territory of the united states of america, about 19 minutes, and now

from finland to st. petersburg there are generally only a few minutes, the only chance for the russian leadership to win back at least something for itself in this situation is to simply apply strike first, yes, don't wait until a threat appears, and that's where nuclear blackmail comes from, that's where these doctrines come from, when at the slightest bit there, the slightest bit of fluff from nato, everyone in russia reaches for the red button, well, roughly tusk is probably talking about something like this when he says that russia will not attack, why not attack, because we, the west, poland, nato countries, will be ready, but at the same time, a few days ago, another rather important phrase was heard: the minister of foreign affairs of poland said that if the states will not provide assistance, then the western allies, it is about helping ukraine, will be disappointed and will start working. not only in the direction of helping ukraine, but they will begin, perhaps, to create some nuclear weapons of their own. these are such loud slogans to

encourage the united states in this way america, can these nuclear weapons really spread across europe now? well, actually, this is primarily a hint at france, which is, from this point of view, a key country for europe's nuclear security. because france has its nuclear arsenal, france began to develop it back in the late 50s, early 60s, and did it even though the states were categorically against it, and then there was a whole story with france, which you developed this nuclear weapons, they demonstratively withdrew from all nato military structures, that is, in the military sense, from the beginning of the 60s until it seems that in 2007 or 2008 france was not present in nato in the military sense . in fact, the country remained in all administrative structures, in the military sense , they were minimally active, because they were against being strategically dependent on the united states of america and

on its plans to protect europe from a possible nuclear threat from the russian federation, and in principle, if nuclear threat in general, and the fact that france currently has a nuclear arsenal and has the potential to improve it and well, let's say to expand, it is in fact. well, for official paris, this is a very good starting point to really become a real european leader and leader of european security policy, we see that these are mr. macron’s latest statements about the possibility of deploying ground troops of the alliance or western countries on the territory of ukraine, yes and their participation in hostilities is likely, and this is what is happening now with strategic nuclear security in europe, we see that in reality. france thus tries its best to intercept its leadership among the western european countries, well, because everyone perfectly understands that britain, due to its strategic relations historically concluded,

so to speak, with the united states of america will always play the role of more of an ally of the united states than an ally of europe, and france now has all the tools and first of all , a strategic political initiative in order to seize these leadership positions, how effective will it be? to president macron, his government, well in the end we will see i think in the near future. mr. taras, the meowing of march cats, i want to tell you a new meme that was born in the ukrainian segment of the internet, here are the jokes, the girl who was promised to everyone, but not given to anyone, friends called sholtz in private. this is such a joke, can you imagine? and against this background, the prime minister of france says: "no, if necessary, we are really considering sending in french." soldiers to carry out non-frontline operations in ukraine, the netherlands, estonia, lithuania supported, and scholz once again came up with an unmasking of why the tauros should not

to be in service with the armed forces of ukraine. and the british already responded to this statement in scholz that they could shoot at moscow: "no, no, no, let's keep it that way." that is, every time new and new countries say, well, it is necessary. well , everything is fine with the germans, and the packages are good, and we also remember from small helmets to... to absolutely normal packages, so why did scholz lean so hard on that taurus? well , in fact, we talked about this with you in our previous conversations, in fact, scholze has not come up with anything now, this is an idea and this thesis, this argument that he is using today, it was actually voiced by the germans back in the fall of last year, and this, well, if this is this argument, it concerns the fact that for the correct use of these missiles, for the correct programming of them. we need german specialists on the territory of ukraine, because it is obvious that the interface of this missile, it is still, well, if it is in german, it is specific from the point of view of manufacturability, and

the technical terms used. well , it is also military technology, so that it is correct and correct to use these missiles, it is obvious that a certain contingent of the german military is needed, well , at least engineers who know how to program these missiles and enter the coordinates there are needed on the territory of ukraine, and scholz is also now, well , then last fall, he spoke about it veiledly, he said, that of course we are in favor of the transfer of these missiles, but you understand that it is also necessary for the german troops to be among the troops there. on the territory of ukraine, and we cannot do that, but now he specified, so to speak, his own opinion, and he, well, he actually very , very reasonedly explained this fear of his, yes, because the germans and uh, the germans, unlike the french and british, who gave us their missiles, the french gave us the scalp, the british gave us the stormshed, of a similar type , apparently the germans and the british have the technological ability

to remotely check these... coordinates, which , apparently, our specialists enter into these rockets before launch, and accordingly control the process itself, control the use, apparently, in germany of such technical means no, it’s a pity, mr. taras, i don’t speak german, but somehow i should tell mr. scholz in german, herr scholz, we are ready to receive your specialists in truskavets, it’s safe there, ask the guys in the jeeps who escaped from kyiv, and that’s it, let they will program it and come back, is it so... such a complex mechanism that justifies the non-transfer of these weapons, well, this is one of the options, but here it is necessary to understand that the main, if not the main, main idea in this argument is that that it's not just a one-time thing a one-time action, yes, they programmed it and went , so it’s like permanent control over these missiles, especially since, well, if we

have them... we understand that there are many goals, and this means that either these germans have to which we will use them, and we will if we wish and if there is a sufficient number and if we have the opportunity, we would shoot them every day , sit here constantly, for which we need the permission, well, of the same bundestag, and well, one thing, when it comes to the transfer missiles, it's a different matter when it comes to a military mission, that is i think that the germans in this case have this threshold of political sensitivity, it is... well, let's say, it is lower than that of the same french, well, in which it is already, if it were to spoil all the western allies, and in the same british , who also, by the way, officially recognize that the british military is on the territory of ukraine, the only thing is that if they were more concerned with the security organization there of the same british diplomatic mission, you don’t like what is happening in the world right now, in particular new red lines are drawn in europe, and so on.

russia, on the one hand, says that you should only try to expand there, showing even what you said about their plan to use nuclear weapons, they are drawing another red line, that when this happens, then there will be trouble, they say, nononono there on our fleet, we still have something to look at, and in the same way, from the side of europe, they draw these regular, often imaginary lines not only for the enemy, but also for themselves, which they are afraid to cross later. i agree, but here it is necessary to understand that since it is a safe reality in which we are, it exists hybrid, yes, and not linear, then, accordingly , red lines on both sides, they too, if they have these signs of hybridity, that is, we saw that the russians are already far away, well, they already drew red lines, burgundy, brown, there they already have there were all different shades of these lines, and the west successfully crossed these lines and nothing happened, yes, that is, it is not some kind of stability on the part of putin's regime, we also see that

the red lines. on the west side, they are also impermanent because...
