12:30 am
picture it all started like a peaceful protest and then the extremists the warlords the field commanders appeared in kiev they started shooting this they started riots they started. real war in the streets of the european capital and when they saw the pictures on the t.v. screen i was really shocked it was not european capital it was oriental capital that what now i mean at this point is it going to stay together ukraine do you think it will splayed maybe we'll see self-governing rages like in the united states where she's written with this constitution well last saturday i visited kharkov. the congress of the deputies of all levels of eastern southern ukraine and crimea some journalists were calling this congress the congress of separatists. i would like to say that it was not true i did not hear any separate the slogans
12:31 am
there i heard the words of responsible politician who cared about the territorial integrity of ukraine about the development of ukraine about the modernization of ukraine about eliminating the corruption from political life and about the future of ukraine as a unified state maybe federal maybe come federal medal i don't know and they did not know but. they were. hoping for unity and praying for unity pretty you feel like at this point the west of ukraine will take tate what should happen in the east of the country is the east losing its voice or is it pretty much to equal balance well. the west of ukraine sounds more loud today and looks more active more aggressive. because as we know almost. the overwhelming majority of the fighters of the street fighters in kiev
12:32 am
they come from western pretty central. east ukraine is more quiet and when i was driving along the streets of product of. everything was it was business as usual i mean it was a quiet city. policeman did not carry firearms it was really quiet but it all changed i came back to moscow or sunday morning and heard the news that even the kharkov the unrest has started so it looks like the domino effect. going all around ukraine and we see that there are demonstrations in crimea other a demonstrations in sevastopol the demonstrations all around the country and the temperature of political discussion between different political forces between different political parties is extremely high a song thinking about the city. already forces because they're very discredited in
12:33 am
front of the people. they were also betrayed by the government will they in general be able to keep things in order in ukraine well what i saw i saw that again the policemen were not armed and i know that the army. is let's say taking the position that it's not involved in the conflict in the political conflict which to my mind is a wise position. i but when we talk about security in ukraine there is another angle of looking at ukrainian security not only from the point of security in the streets or physical security of the citizens but also there is an angle of nuclear security there are six nuclear power station operating in ukraine nowadays there are seventeen uclear reactors working in ukraine there are at least two or three thousand points of concern i mean. chemical pollution for all the issues and no one from ukrainian politician is talking about that no one who
12:34 am
positions him or herself as the current power says a word about nuclear security you feel like it's a real cause of concern i do feel because in january the protestors has already attacked the energy ministry that has already attacked the nuclear power station and we all remember the churn nobile is in ukraine and i do remember didn't even get a saying that actually station cranes right now is a threat to russia's national security is that what he meant this is one of the aspects this is one of the aspects because when we ask questions about nuclear security we don't have anybody who's going to be giving us any responsible answer but also who is going to be in charge right now of this aspect of the nuclear plants god knows god knows because we see that the new political generation so to speak which has come to power they are more concerned about. removing
12:35 am
all demolishing the statue of cuckoos a whole statue of this old good soldier ukrainian soldier by the way or the statue of lenin. or they're more concerned about the future of the russian language in ukraine but they do not think about nuclear security but i do want to talk about the new generation because ten years ago way so progress to revolution bring a protester and leader later. on people got disappointed and we saw a u. turn towards the east now we're seeing a reversal of this process it's like a never ending cycle i'm afraid that today would see a little bit different for a process from what we saw in two thousand and four it's not a one hundred percent pro western movement because the comments which we hear from the leaders of ukrainian radicals they sound like ukrainian sala feasts they say ok europe is not the europe which we are dreaming about because the family values are
12:36 am
on the mind the christian values are on the mind that gay marriage is the law and blah blah blah and so on and so on and so and so forth well it's the it sounds like it it sounds like european taliban if one can exist but i also am wondering why are protesters still out in my down what else do they want what are they protesting good question i am enjoying the process to my mind it's their revolution for the sake of the revolution but not for the result of the revolution but what what's going to happen now i mean in terms of who is going to run the country so shankar come out of prison she was addressing the crowd but is she really the one who can unify of this really different opposition forces well i think today ukrainian police political puzzle is one of the most difficult puzzles in the world yes there is ukrainian parliament which adopts new legislation but unfortunately these new adopted legislation is questionable because it's not signed by the president. the
12:37 am
speaker of the parliament is considered to be an interior president but again there are certain questions. how does it coincide with the current you ukrainian constitution even the adopted version of two thousand and four and to my mind would see today a very strange cocktail a very strange mixture of different laws of different legislations of different periods and. it's hard to say what is legal and what is illegal in ukraine yes we hope that ukrainians will manage to organize a democratic transparent european style elections in may on the twenty fifth of may and the new president who will have much less authority than the previous president the mystery in the college because the constitution of two thousand and four will be in place will have to eat all that borscht. look at our heroes housewives to washington what do you think of her she's someone who nationally
12:38 am
while she wants to be involved she wants to be involved she was a banner of the opposition she was the banner of that and to the polish protest when she was in prison but now she's old and she's on the same ground with the other leaders of the opposition who are in my done when she was in prison and they start asking each of the difficult questions who's going to be the leader who's going to take part in the presidential elections who are going to take the responsibility for the transition period because to my mind it will be one of the most difficult periods for ukrainian economy and for ukrainian people but i mean two to my understanding more than leaders between themselves there are three different three main aspects which is like the people of ukraine who don't necessarily think that is the future of ukraine because they also so she had her with. the with the past and she was branded as i know western history yes she was branded by the west and at home as an oligarch puppet so it's not as if she was
12:39 am
returning to be president from a clean slate and everything within her bedroom missile as a wrinkle business partners to liberate is imprisoned in the u.s. by the way exactly so what's going to happen to that that's a good question it seems like each and every ukrainian political leader looks at. elections as a commercial project and it seems. like people who come to paul we and ukraine they immediately think about their families first and then about the people of ukraine who elected them that was the case with your shingo that was the case with unocal which wells and we'll take a short break now when we're back we're going to continue to happen to. know is going to give money to ukraine next stay with.
12:40 am
12:41 am
12:42 am
to have you with us here on t.v. today i roll researcher. e.u. frightening ukrainians by the scales crawl the russian intervention to create at least herbal atmosphere. so i think these are the last man what a flight will stop that which because he believed that we chose well first of all of course elmo broke i mean he doesn't represent the e.u. i mean his comments are wholly unhelpful of course i mean mr yanukovych which is rule we still democracy going downhill very quickly in ukraine and you say where you live in the unions mission to save democracy and in ukraine i mean let's look at it from the other way it's not the european union that it's the demands are here
12:43 am
it's the it's the ukraine that is demanded from the european union for many years a closer relationship both politically and economically i mean the european union does not go around looking for countries to save. think. we're going to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across a cynical we've been a hydrogen lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once it's all just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem to try and rational debate and
12:44 am
12:45 am
western politicians are talking to it's a mission call right now and cutting deals as if she was the legitimate leader of ukraine which is not the case well we are we are kind the reserves today we are studying trying to study the situation on the ground and that's why by the way my colleagues from the state duma are currently in crimea i would delegation the legation of the russian senate goes to ukraine on wednesday. to study the said is this situation we are sending fact finding missions to work in the field to talk to the people not only to talk to the political leaders but also to talk to n.g.o.s talk to really just leaders ukraine is multinational multi religious country and you cannot solve the problems than all of the country only. supporting the west of ukraine or the east of ukraine the removed limbs there are
12:46 am
a touch ours in crimea. the russians syria's there are georgians there it's a very colorful picture but tymoshenko right now probably has been bishan to had a multicultural crane she does russia view her right now well we heard only very preliminary. political statements of yulia tymoshenko she did not work out the presidential program yet we do not know what is the team around you that emotion yes we are in contact with many politicians with representatives of different political groups and we're just monitoring live in the process would not want to interfere and we don't want. to be blamed for the difficulties of ukrainian political process does anyone know at all who they next candidate to have the country could be rush hour he craney and in your opinion well my opinion is that
12:47 am
probably during this presidential campaign we shall see new faces which will see new potential leaders. probably representing. the korean intelligentsia i do not know you may not like the leaders there was so terribly reality i'm afraid that these people are more leaders of the past and the leaders of today but ukraine needs leader of the future where there is some radical groups that were all you know not very happy that the crisis was resolved or is being resolved do you think they will continue to struggle for power they do continue they do continue as we know even even. the car of yulia timoshenko and the governor said the youths knew became targets a random search of these armed groups in kiev yes they want to be powerful they want to be involved and as i've already said they are enjoying the process do you
12:48 am
think there's a chance they could come to power well this is a question of how strong will be the interior president and the acting parliament there's also one nationalist opposition leader to me mark was saying that all russians would be stripped of citizenship and he goes as far as to say that everyone who by the way she says the same words about the jews well yeah but you know it's really a very precise expression so we are not the only target for ukrainian nationalists but what happens if you really strips all russians of citizenship and if you punishes everyone that you love them in the country he will undermine the unity of the country he will undermine the future of the country because. i'm sure that neither russians nor ukrainian jews will be silent neither armenians nor ukrainian georgians will be silent because these people want to live in. in their country and ukraine is their country and their positioning and again i heard it in the ticket at the at the congress of the deputies they position though them selves as ukrainian patriots and they want to fight for their country and they will fight for
12:49 am
their country there are also some radical in place and in parliament who are claiming that russian armed forces are. because again on crimea right now are they trying to provoke a confrontation well you know all with military bases are in sevastopol they are there according to the agreement which russian legitimate power signed with ukrainian legitimate power and for us we contain status quo nothing has changed and there are any circumstances under which russia would consider sending armed forces enter the crane to do keeps or and what are you worried about the future of the russia's black sea naval base in the east crimea peninsula of the raw binding documents which we signed with ukrainian government's we know that begun the withdrawal when they will forces from sevastopol that the certain point where preparing. a will naval base on the russian territory so i don't think that there is any kind of unpredictability in that part of our bilateral relations so there's
12:50 am
a common side of e.u. and us politicians and the ukrainian rally prowling saying what's that all about what do they want they're exactly. what the goal well the goal is to be visible like any politicians they want to be visible then they want to be seen they want to be heard they want to be recognized but i mean i know the russia's foreign minister has said that the west has geopolitical interests in ukraine it does or whatever russia what are their jobs what would your political interests to my mind is very clear. still in the west there are politicians with a cold war mentality and some people think that if they inspire and to russian forces in ukraine or in any other former soviet republic that will do that will do good for i don't know nato european union to my mind is the biggest mistake. being pro western for former soviet republic does not automatically mean that they have
12:51 am
to be and to russian. russia's main economic partner is the euro. the union and. i think that for any former soviet republic the best way of development is having both good relations with both you the european union and the russian federation but it did seem that at some point it was impossible they had to choose whether it was russia or the e.u. i mean that and i did not understand why i really didn't want to understand why why unocal the then people around him were positioning the choice of ukraine that it's either with the european union or with russia look during the cold war finland and austria for example they were with the west but they were not members of nato and they were with the soviet union in several aspects and there were many examples from history when you can be friends with the with with anybody but the not to
12:52 am
become enemies but so if he waits perceives in the west that it's not yet a coach or didn't make a choice but it's putting you know we were sharing ghana which and ukraine it was going to call the who made the choice because he was responsible he was the ukrainian leader and i'm going to college again he was bargaining for almost two years playing that game in advertising the alliance for the european union in ukraine convincing the people of ukraine that for them it's the best way of development and then the night why what was that frightening thing which which it could show to mr young the college. what happens now because ukraine is on the verge of default they need eight billion dollars this year twenty nine billion dollars next year it's going to take care of that money i met you russia. well there are there is only one source the financial g twenty with i.m.f. there are several channels like the european bank of reconstruction and development and the international banks. they think that today it's high time for preventing
12:53 am
discussion about the future of ukrainian economy because the future of ukrainian economy has immediate impact on the political future of ukraine and we're already i mean russia has already sent two billion dollars to ukraine what happened to that money that's a good question i think whether when the when mr going to college. finally shows up we shall ask that question when no one really knows where he is but since you bring keep bringing up what we feel ask for a salad line of aggression i would raise that in russia so russia will under no circumstances game asylum will i know for sure that he's not a russian but what if he asks t.t. for an asylum i would not invite him to my home but do you think russia would accept him in your home of a pin you know well in my humble opinion i think well is russia going to continue though to give financial aid to ukraine while we continue. to to while we continue
12:54 am
our ties i would relations with with ukraine. would seem in all spheres we're not cutting anything we called back our message in kiev for consultations because we really want to consult him and ask him what's going on with the talks so you talk to you know about our consulates are still in place they are working in hard coffin simper up with other cities of ukraine and we are there and we will be there so as soon as a new government is formed a legitimate government russia is going to continue to give financial aid to ukraine it takes two to tango. so you think they may not want anymore well if we see a responsible partner we will talk to. you is now saying that they're ready to cave twenty billion dollars to the new budget and government of ukraine where were they before the previous government why now to be ready does not mean to give they are
12:55 am
ready but the question is where is that legitimate government. to my mind european union is. reconsidering its behavior prior to signing on signing that agreement of association between. ukraine and the european union because we all remember that european union was standing firmly on the position that the mission should be released first and then they were going to sign the agreement with with unocal which so to my mind the european union was putting more obstacles on the way of the alliance but unity between ukraine and the european union the russian and. ok you know the unocal has disappeared he is free there is no government there is a revolutionary. spirit. overwhelming in the streets of kiev.
12:56 am
do you think that the european bank will be ready money in that circumstances of course more they're waiting for the legitimate government to but when president putin says that he will cooperate with any legitimate government does that mean keeping gas prices unchanged well i don't know because i'm not working for gas from libya and these guys know the numbers much but tonight do what they know for sure that for us there is no any other choice we will work with and of the government of ukraine because no one can take geopolitical eraser and to raise ukraine and russia from the globe thank you very much for this interesting thank you.
