judge for yourself. totalitarian system, they are already the same. in the sense of its totalitarian essence, with certain reservations, of course, because russia still came out of a free state. and north korea has never lived in such a state. the kim dynasty has ruled totalitarian communist north korea for 80 years. but we are already seeing trends. putin is assembling his dynastic system. we have already talked about it more than once. since the may inauguration of his next term, the so-called... term, of course, no one elected him, he is building a dynastic totalitarian system, he is already involving relatives, just the other day he appointed his niece, the daughter of a cousin, a certain tsevilova, the wife of minister tsivilov, the former governor of kuzbass, who originally from st. petersburg, made him deputy minister of defense, and before that dmytro patrushev was made vice-premier yerom, and before that, at the same time , yuriy kovalchuk's son was made the head of the accounting chamber, his daughter. he spoke at

the st. petersburg international forum and so on, we see that it resembles, resembles the north korean kim regime, which does not changes, one dying ancestor is replaced by his son, and i think that putin already has this model in his head, and he has to show this closeness directly. you can't do it over the phone, you can't do it on an armored train in vladivostok, but with his visit he shows what the political system in russia will be like. in parallel with this , they are currently discussing whether this agreement, returning to the military component, means that north korean servicemen can appear in ukraine, this cannot be to exclude, although i do not think that the agreement is a necessary condition to prevent the bringing of north koreans, they brought nepalese, they brought africans, a lot of people, so the north koreans could appear, i guess, i understand that on the state material and other components are equal to this.

which are agreed upon, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is still such an adventurous trick, you know, to find yourself between russians and ukrainians, you need to at least understand the language, the mentality, i very much doubt that young people, and most likely it will be the north korean military is young enough that they will be able to figure out how to behave in this war between the slavs, so i think the decline there will be catastrophic, because we realize that the north korean army... for all its brash power, which is painted by the north korean propaganda itself, but it is generally a very unmodern backward army in hats and shanks. but on the other hand, you see, mark, how generously putin began to distribute what was once called the doctrine of the soviet general secretaries, including andropov, that is, he let the people's republic of china, where to the sea of ​​japan, we understand that this issue has been very acute for years. and shipping

along the tumannaya river or in the gryumia was limited. now putin brought it to dzyobika and laid it at xi jinping's feet. this is putin's trade offer. the chinese don't give up on me, and the chinese are also happy to try. china's position regarding the moscow regime and putin, it is like this, yes, it comes from its own interests, and not from the interests of moscow, alliance obligations or anything. it's all nonsense. in the 20th century, we we remember how the relations between beijing and moscow changed, even at first, from love under stalin to the actual war on domansky already under brezhnev and so on, this was inherited. under gorbachev, incredible efforts were made in connection with the restructuring, which was also not particularly approved by beijing, but still warming took place. china followed its own path, moscow followed its own. and today, china is aware of moscow's vassal dependence. there are no options, it

is limited, the global door to the global economy and the global world is only now through china, it cannot open through the west. china does not want putin to lose this war, because if he loses, it is chaos inside russia itself, pro-western forces may come to power and say, why do we need china, what is the strategy of the east? this suits us, but he does not want a great victory for moscow, because if moscow goes. it is also unprofitable for ukraine and beijing. moscow will feel its independence and say: we don't need any masters in the east who will tell us how to behave. that is why china is important to maintain this fragile balance and most importantly - to be guided by one's interests. what does china want? he wants to integrate taiwan, he definitely wants to take it back painlessly, without war, just like he did with hong kong, macau and so on. he wants to bring taiwan back under his control, that's obvious. object and there are significant forces, we do not

take taiwan itself, but also the usa, they are covered by the non-aligned agreement with taiwan. japan is generally not interested, and neither are other countries, why should they, it strengthens china. and so on. on the other hand, china is interested in, let's say, in continuing the rivalry with the west, primarily with washington, but in no case to bring this rivalry to an armed conflict, because china does not need it at all, but china does not need it at all, because china has a gigantic trade turnover with europe and america, and interested in continuing this cooperation in one form or another, you understand, economically, china is extremely interested in normal, stable relations with maintaining its claims to world leadership, to global leadership, because china constantly calls itself next to the usa is the main superpower. washington constantly omits china. no, you are a regional power, that's what obama did and now biden is doing, not to mention trump. trump is fiercely

anti-chinese. many events are also connected with the fact that elections are expected in november. if trump comes to power, well, then china will not be very happy. and they understand it. they already remembered the four years from 2016 to 20, when trump's decisions on the trade agreement to withdraw production from the territory of china greatly influenced the situation. moreover, let me remind you that due to the consequences of covid, and trump caused a part of the epidemic itself, despite the fact that in january 2021, the new president biden was inaugurated. he wants to demand some kind of compensation from china and everything else. this is just an excuse. it's not about money, which you can sue. to win in america and demand them from china is a reason to put pressure on china and obtain favorable solutions from it, primarily economic. china is aware of this and is definitely preparing for the moment that if suddenly trump comes to power, how to behave in this situation? we understand, yes maybe the war is not profitable for china, but on

the other hand, if the war was not profitable for it, then maybe it would articulate its position more clearly, in particular, it would send an observer there to the swiss peace summit, but... no, china started playing a different game and began to hint at the creation of one or another potential negotiating platform, both with the participation of china and russia, that is, china is very clearly supporting the aggressor state here, and accordingly, in your opinion, if we proceed from the realities of what was said and what was not said at the swiss summit , which the prospects of holding an additional peace conference, as if everything could... go to that, if it were not for the idiotic, barbaric, putin ultimatum that accompanied the meetings and negotiations in switzerland. putin issued an ultimatum, no one pulled him for it, for one place, but he went for it. and i will say this, that if putin

had not been pulled out by this ultimatum on the eve of the peace summit, then the attitude towards the summit itself would have been somewhat underestimated, then the urgency of dragging russia out, of holding a second summit, and somehow pointless the swiss organizers hastened that it should be held before the november elections in the usa. i think it's pointless. you make decisions, and president trump comes in, and they have to be changed, drastically or not, but it will change things anyway. it is better to wait for the american elections, it will be clear who will become the president, and then somehow act in response to this new situation. obviously, these will be different doctrinal positions between biden and trump. china did not participate because it did not... see its direct benefit, even as an observer, how to send li hui, who is a representative on this topic, did not see his direct benefit, so the us represented by camila garis participated from below the importance of the summit. biden did not arrive at the swiss summit. plus, there are a total of three

points that did not solve the problem of war as such, and were agreed by the majority of the participants on the eve of this summit. yes, so it is the return of children, the exchange of hostages, military olo'. yes, it's a grain deal and nuclear security, right? that is, in connection with the possibility of strikes on nuclear power plants, in particular, zaporizhzhia jsc, and the grain agreement, which one way or another, even without it, continues to exist in the black sea basin. cargoes are moving, perhaps not in the right volume, problems are being created, but nevertheless, that is, without seeing significant possible solutions, china withdrew from this summit in order not to increase its weight with its presence. but china came forward with its own initiative that it is necessary to hold another conference, they say, we are ready to hold it with the participation of russia. i, for example, do not believe in the participation of russia in the next swiss summit, if will not accept any of its preconditions, and what are these preconditions, abandon international law, it is elevated to the rank

of the main, decisive instrument for the settlement of the war in ukraine. yes, how can moscow agree to this. everything that putin announced has nothing to do with international law. he is about... negotiating on completely different grounds, that's why there is such a reaction, well, what is it, how can we withdraw the troops, the ukrainians are leaving the territory under the pretext that these territories are included in the composition of the russian federation. well the logic is clear, you include anything tomorrow, you know, alaska, the state of washington, you include someone and say: in general, this is our territory, it is written in our constitution, move away from the administrative border, well, this is madness, to agree to this it is impossible, it is even dangerous to discuss it, because in this way the possibility of discussing such crazy demands is legitimized in general, you know, if putin is invited now, he will say: i told you the plan, i said that alaska is mine. let's discuss and sit down discuss. no, you know, after all, the armed forces of ukraine

cannot retreat from the administrative borders of zaporizhzhia, kherson, donetsk, and luhansk regions. well, they will not retreat, this is the territory of ukraine. and it is not the territory of ukraine, it is russian territory. we wrote it in our constitution. you understand how insane this is from the point of view of international law, absolutely insane. there is nothing to talk about. well, nothing to worry about. but for some reason, putin has already announced such a plan. it is more radical than the points. still published, my opinion, my assessment, that he did it for the americans first, not even for the swiss summit, he showed the americans that this is his position, push it. we know that there were confidential exchanges and confidential consultations between washington and moscow. they have, at least, greatly intensified throughout this half-year. this can be understood from sullivan's visit to kyiv, when he said: there is no need to fire at the oil refinery, this is also probably one of the agreements. on the part of moscow, this long delay with the decision of the united states to allow kyiv to use western

weapons, in particular american ones, hymers. we know that the hymers are shelling the neighboring territory, the belgorod region. the delay in this decision was also caused by the fact that they tried to agree with moscow that it would not attack kharkiv, not take actions that would lead to mass casualties in the kharkiv region. we understand this, it was written about, indirectly reported, it was not so much denied. and putin summed up these consultations. he said: no, four regions should go to me. no, more sanctions should be canceled, and a complete ban on ukraine joining nato. these are insane conditions. he wants to gain territories and limit the sovereignty of ukraine, which will eventually lead to war. if ukraine is not protected by nato, then there will be a new war. it is important to understand this connection. that is, he does not say anything about the agreements... he talks about security guarantees, because they are already after the war, he will not let this war end in

the literal sense, so that these agreements on security guarantees regarding ukraine start to take effect, this is also obvious, because putin's plan is this the delight of all of ukraine, but with all that , the swiss summit could not seriously discuss this proposal, there is no content, the essence of its implementation, and on the other hand there are voices that russia should be invited to the summit, it should participate. i think it's the cart before the horse, as they say. first , you need to agree, after all, on what grounds the parties are ready to seek a compromise. if we abandon international law as such a tool, and this is possible, then there are no questions. okay, let's be diplomatic, military, political, other then way to find a compromise. but even then the answer must be adequate. then, sorry, we remove all restrictions, countries want, supply any weapons, we are no longer afraid. of a military conflict: we remove from ukraine the responsibility to remain a nuclear-free state, why it should

adhere to the budapest memorandum. moscow denies the butapech memorandum, withdrew from its obligations to ensure territorial integrity and respect for the sovereignty of ukraine. so why should the country continue to adhere to this nuclear-free status? why? where is the logic? if all these restrictions are removed and everyone agrees on the right of force offered by moscow, that's what it's called. political realities or something else, then let it be a two-way action, then it is not necessary to hold large swiss summits, but to gather parties that will meet in a local format, five to six countries from one and the other side, let china organize it, and then talk from a position of strength, that's all, and we will increase the supply of weapons. what putin wants, he wants in relation to there were no international legal requirements for it, and in relation to ukraine, they were preserved even in the case of a nuclear-free state. and the cessation of arms supplies, and god knows what else, status, languages,

to find ways for ukraine to remain in the international legal regime, complying with the norms of international law, the requirements of security issues, everything as dictated to all countries of the world, members of the un, and regarding itself, they are not going to follow it, in terms of their demands, they don't take it into account, they ignore it altogether, but it's impossible, and that's why the swiss summit, which would come out of... to the ground, well, something like that, because the situation with ukraine is not the same as in the middle east, with israel, or somewhere else, it is a completely different situation: ukraine was a recognized member of the international community, these borders, all its rights, its sovereignty , were recognized by russia itself many times over the course of ten years. ukraine is a newly created state on the ruins of a vanished state, but not some

state that once separated from someone. ukraine was not separated from anyone, it was created exactly the same way. like russia, even russians celebrate their creation, there declaration of sovereignty, respectively, the collapse of the soviet union, when in december he was laid to rest since 1991. why should ukraine, in this sense, look for some historical reasons, explanations, prove to moscow, agree with them in order to reconsider the borders, reconsider the sovereignty of the country. it is also a newly created country, like russia and ukraine, two new countries that already have a history. then you can already buy it there. moscow insists on exactly this. here we are, like the soviet union. ukraine is our country. why is it yours? what made you decide? they consider themselves the successors of the soviet union and thus declare their status. but this is not a question of state borders, sovereignty and everything else. the debts of the ussr, they can imitate, but no more. and the right of succession in the case of the complete collapse of the ussr on its

territory, there is no such right, it does not exist. it is impossible, because... there was simply no such country as russia, it did not exist, so from this point of view, the swiss forum and other similar initiatives will have to to decide: are you retreating from international law or are you trying to bring moscow back into this field? thank you very much, mark, for this extremely meaningful conversation, i want to remind our tv viewers that mark fegin, a member of the russian opposition on... immigration, a former member of the state duma, and a well-known video blogger, was currently working on espresso. thanks mark, all the best, goodbye. well, the time of our program is over, stay with the espresso tv channel. my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of this days take care of yourself and your loved ones. see you on air. there are discounts representing

will be able to present a real fairy tale and some peace for children. the world destroyed by the war, these are the children of fallen heroes, father or mother, who, protecting us and you, our country, died at the front, and they, like no one else, need our support, because they are the future of our country. our experience has shown that travel helps children recover more quickly after a loss. children feel emotionally better. i am asking you to support our project. we are planning to organize two trips for the children of fallen heroes this summer. children will experience bright emotions, they will get to know a new country, a new culture, find new friends, and most importantly, they will receive help from qualified psychologists. and maybe now

this video will be seen by entrepreneurs or big business owners who will be... ready to get involved and help, remember that your donations are the key, the key to hope, dreams and support for those who lost a loved one, because their parents went to protect our country. i really enjoyed the trip to austria, i loved the museums we went to every day, it was amazing and i really liked how we went to restaurants. i visited the cities of salzburg, vienna and linz. this trip had a positive effect on me, i became more cheerful. thank you so much for such an incredible trip, it will never be forgotten in my heart. let's make memories together that will warm hearts. and will help to survive these difficult and scary moments. these are us

nacha goes to the disco, now he flew out, scowled there in the morning, in an hour of those cars, those and that type, and then for the whole day it is charged with energy and i don't even want to sleep. i'm in them, i stupidly flew into them, on the account, well... only the loaves are probably already 1150, but they don't end, loaves, it's just one love, a mine, then american mines, it goes right away with gunpowder, that's it , a shot, it looks like a volleyball, we throw it over there, they throw it over here, the second mine is ready, we eat it, they shoot us with a saw shot on the territory of muscovy, well, they they are hitting us, we are trying to say thank you, the enemy

asks to feel where our positions are every day, a shot is fired, well, we are waiting for it, and the guys meet it, not with a clearing, the enemy is trying to press. to our positions , using, unfortunately for us, traditional tactics, bulldozer tactics, which are sometimes called, but the offensive is already underway, everything is in full swing, we are leaving, russian troops are slowly but gradually advancing in donbas, these are the donbas realities, this once we will talk about the situation in the east of ukraine, whether it affected... on the ukrainian defense there, the russian attack on the kharkiv region, what is happening on the border with russia near sumy and which directions of attack are a priority for russia at the front. everything is

over, let's go. through the dense infected green path leads to a mortar buried in a caponir, they don't have time to unmask it, for a few minutes everyone freezes in the shelter, a drone is in the sky, this is the ukrainian border in the sumy region, you often have something flying, all the time, there are many drones when the shelling is going on , then drones are very, very, very, very many, they they fly, they adjust for their own, they also do reconnaissance, somewhere like we are today too, he was flying, he didn’t notice us, they could

have noticed us, well, we hide well so that we are not noticed and nothing comes to us, and there are a lot of drones , this area near the russian-ukrainian border is officially not considered an active front line, but that does not mean that it is quiet here. in my opinion, it is similar to volleyball, we throw it there, they throw it here, we throw mines at them, they shoot us from the saw in their main mass, and so we ask ourselves who will win in this duel, well which one the result, well... we're alive, i think that's a normal indicator, what's the ball in our side of the field, the enemy is asking every day

to probe where our positions are, every day, there was no such thing, i think, every day, when the enemy did not ask to sneak in somewhere, well, well, well, we are waiting for him, and the guys meet him, and with cartridges and a machine gun. previously, the same attempts to pass sabotage groups were really met only with machine guns. teroborona did not have larger calibers, but last year the poverniy s zhimiv charity fund handed over almost 200-120mm anti-tank missiles to the 31st brigade mortars shot! shot! there are only a few hundred shots in this calculation so far. the second mine is ready.

on the territory of muscovy, well, they are hitting us, this is how we try to thank, roughly speaking, also on... the border, but in another settlement we worked on equipment that built fortification structures and we managed to put it out of order, roughly speaking, the whole border is covered by calculations like ours, and the whole border is covered by the 120mm caliber, the kind we were working with today, many

say so, it's because ... they see an increase of russian forces on the other side of the border across from sumy, so i think it's possible that there will be a toss-up, but i think russia's likely strategic goal is to force ukraine to redeploy forces from east to north to ensure that the samene offensive in the east is possible. from a military point of view, this is the most rational strategic goal, but the military makes adjustments along the way, if this russian invasion of vovchansky north of kharkiv was a tangible success, if the russians advanced by... 10, 20, 30 km and had a significant breakthrough , they probably increased and used this breakthrough. since the successes were limited, i think that the goal, as it was from the beginning, is to force ukraine to transfer forces from some places and weaken its position in others. russian forces carried out a diversionary maneuver and strike in a new direction in the north of the kharkiv region

a little more than a month ago after. weeks of heavy fighting that continues to this day, the initial areas of the clashes have not really changed. most assumed that the recent successes were achieved in the east, near bakhmut last spring and in the people of avdi, and i think many expected the russians to continue to try to advance there and build on those gains, not open a new offensive in the north, but part of any effective military operation or military strategy. is to do what the enemy doesn't expect you to do, so in this case it makes sense that the russians would do something unexpected in an attempt to catch ukraine off guard or throw it off balance, but it doesn't look like they succeeded, that significant damage has been done serious damage to ukraine's defense capability. the main battles which many months before, now unfolding in donbas, the targets of the russian attacks have not changed for a long time, this is the direction of the time gap

of constantine. and the direction of pokrovsk to the northwest of occupied avdiivka. they are equally important for the occupying forces, military analyst serhiy grabsky believes. the fact that the enemy is in the pokrovsky direction, he seems to pursue two goals of achieving his results. the first is, in the case of a positive operational situation for him, to continue advancing to pokrovsk and further to pavlograd. in the case of, well, let's say so, the second. kostiantynka in order to create the prerequisites for a further exit in the kostiantynka region, the encirclement of our group defending the turetska region, and how do they think, after the capture of this region, to concentrate their efforts against the slavyansk-kramator agglomeration, these are

the plans of the enemy. it is a secondary and distracting blow. 93 ombr is one of the units that holds positions to the southeast of the temporal ravine. this is a small town that is on the heights of the surrounding areas for months remains one of the main targets of the non-stop russian assaults. dozens of fpvons on the shelves of a small dugout is one of the confirmations. due to the tense situation in the bakhmut direction, vladyslav has not slept yet, he says that with the appearance of night uavs , there is no time left for rest at all. when we see the advancing forces of the enemy, combat vehicles, there are tanks or infantry, it’s just that, it’s like going to a disco for us now, well, i flew out and frowned there in the morning, in an hour those cars were quiet and type, and then for the whole day you are energized to...
