i think that in comparison with the current situation with finland's forthcoming entry into nato, little can change. although a lot can change. uh, the fact is that in recent months our finnish has been until recently. ah, good friends. have done everything possible to e, accumulated over the past decade huge potential. uh bilateral. e cooperation at all levels and in all areas practically ceased to exist at the initiative of the finns. uh, frozen practically every intergovernmental and inter-agency contacts collapsed bilateral trade economic cooperation. finnish

businesses are leaving the russian market russians are systematically squeezed out of finland, all projects and communications have been terminated. uh, in the field of science , education, culture of sports, broken contacts, uh, between regions and sister cities, uh, public organizations, and therefore there is practically nothing to worsen anything. everything is already degraded possible further deterioration. they already lie in the plane e, the military-political military-technical area, which is fraught with e, possible occurrence. this is how there is conflict potential in relations between our countries, which is not there today, but it will already

depend on the line that the finns will, uh, will be already full-fledged. by members of yes , i'm sorry, you just mean here that it is possible in finland, it will just not build up its military potential, as a nato country, or, uh, something will be connected with armaments itself , uh, the formal entry of finland into nato uh, it does not directly carry any serious threats to russian security another thing is if nato infrastructure appears on the territory of finland, e

. . i really hope that the finnish military-political. he understands perfectly well that such a development of events does not meet the interests of finland itself, another matter, as far as a hair dryer. uh like uh in the future already permanently a member and a full member of nato insofar as finn will be allowed to make independent independent decisions in the field of ensuring his national security. pavel maratovich about the fence, just here a lot of questions arise, for sure, and in finland itself there are also talks about this. again, i ’ll pay attention to the fact that in the russian press this fence, let’s say, someone calls it

mini-fences. well, due to the fact that this building, let's say, will not cover the entire length borders. and there are plans from 100, in my opinion, up to 200 km, someone calls it the other way around, er power lines, that is, such monolithic military structures. and what are they saying in finland about this and what are the plans of the finnish authorities, just about this, i would like to bring some clarity to this topic. uh, indeed, recently the finnish parliament. e, passed a series of amendments to its border and legal emergency laws that create, uh, the legal basis for er. border barrier building for e-e possible closure, if necessary, of individual checkpoints on the border to tighten the migration regime e, for now, about

some plans for concrete plans for the practical construction of a barrier on the e, russian-finnish border. i don't know, but in any case, representatives of the finnish authorities say that, naturally, no one e is planned to be handed over to our borders. uh, any solid fences of iron barriers along the entire length of the borders to fence off russia here in finland, uh, we are talking, uh, about the fact that to secure finland in the words of er, representatives of the finnish authorities, to secure finland here uh, the possible future of uncontrolled emigration flows that we observed last year on the belarusian polish border, and before that, to the south and southeast on

the borders of europe uh it’s another matter that all these decisions, as it seems to me, they were made not on the basis of a sober assessment of the real situation, but under the influence of that anti-russian, yes, hysteria, uh, in the information space of finland, which creates here the image of russia as a source of, uh, all sorts of threats to finland, including a hybrid threat, in reality, uh, our russian borders, finland has been and remains one of the most peaceful. on the borders of our border services. uh continues to work, uh, to cooperate and interact in the usual way constructively

on the basis of mutual understanding, i hope that this situation will continue in the future, and pavel maratovich. i would, uh, once again draw the attention of our viewers to this publication about the fact that there are expectations already this winter. what household consumers can be disconnected from the power supply up to 2 hours a day. here are some publications. eh, now there is, but hmm an energy crisis, yes, that's it. in many countries of the european union, something similar is predicted, including, here and in germany a. here is what helsinki says about this. here, of course, you can immediately remind our viewers about the nuclear power plant under construction in russia, russia under construction here. uh, there may be some change here in the attitude of the finnish authorities regarding this project. generally here it really proceeds from the fact that the

energy crisis, yes, the world one and that in europe , uh, in particular, it will certainly, uh, affect finland, too, is being prepared and simple. err times in this regard. uh, regarding the construction of a nuclear power plant. hmm. uh, then on does not appear to be a finnish concert. ah, who is the customer. this nuclear power plant decided to terminate the contract with rosatom for the construction of a nuclear power plant, again under the influence of anti-russian. uh hysteria unleashed here in finland it's out of spite

grandmothers from thinner ears. e. i think that when emotions subside and hmm, the general political situation will normalize for many. here, uh, there will be regrets about this decision, because everyone understands that finland's nuclear power plant is very necessary, including to achieve the goal set by the finnish government. e targets to ensure the country's carbon neutrality in 2035. i do not think that it will be possible to return to the previous situation. even if the mood here in finland ever changes, it seems to me very it is unlikely that rosatom itself will renew cooperation with partners who, in general, have demonstrated their unreliability and

non-negotiability. as for maratovich, regarding the mood in the country, of course, you should also pay attention to this. uh, there are plenty of other examples from other european countries where russophobia is felt, where it is felt in the daily uh, an expression like in finland with this one. uh, things are going on, is there any embassy now, the russian embassy is now under pressure some. well, compared, of course, with those periods that were before. well, well, unfortunately, the general information fund, here, and the public mood towards russia is small. what is different for the better. that's the situation that exists in other countries, the level of uh russophobia and hmm anti-russian sentiment is really in the media. uh,

off the charts since the finnish media . it has long been acting exclusively in line with the western mainstream hmm. freedom of speech. here it is understood very peculiarly with any. uh opinions positions are points of view that are outside the scope of this mainstream. they are either simply not allowed into the information space, or are they subjected to general obstruction, as far as? the activities of the embassy, ​​then, of course, the work has become significantly more complicated in the first place, because the very atmosphere of our bilateral relations has changed dramatically and rather quickly, pressure on the embassy continues at the public level. uh, still pass demonstrations around the embassy are noted. ah, the

facts of vandalism against russian foreign countries , it must be said that the intensity, let's say, of scale. uh, these shares have recently declined significantly, as for the finnish official authorities, we must pay tribute to them quite correctly observe. forms of uh viennese conventions on diplomatic consular relations by uh honey or other state structures of finland, we do not observe any attempts to artificially, er, or discriminate limit. uh, embassy activities. uh, interaction is quite good with

law enforcement agencies from the finnish police, which have significantly strengthened the protection of the russian federation and finland. so, in general, the work continues in uh in the usual business manner, right? well , again, with a caveat about how this is happening now, but about the mood about you that , again, in europe, has developed in relations with russian diplomats and with regard to russians in particular, yes, pavel maratovich. thanks pavel kuznetsov ambassador of the russian federation to finland was in touch with us. let's now turn to what is happening in germany here , too, just again, see those very publications about energy about the energy crisis, that the german authorities expect emergencies in the winter. uh, gas. eh, well, there are also such publications in general. can germany be left without

fuel, what do the locals think about this, and, of course, about the rights of the russian-speaking population, as we know, e party an alternative for germany, uh, created just a special post of commissioner for the protection of the rights of russians in germany, uh, again with the proviso that this one party only created it. it's like not e general e hmm federal scale, m-m, after all, a post, well, be that as it may. let's now, uh, have a live chat with us. e is in touch with us now evgeniy schmidt ombudsman for russians e in germany member of the e party alternative for germany hello evgeny good morning. hello. yes, hello. tell please, here, well, dad, the question immediately arises about the rights of the russian-speaking population, because , uh, this spring, uh, there were also a lot of publications about harassment. about insults. well, more than some hmm notorious

manifestations, just russophobia, which were observed in germany, how things are now. well , the situation hasn't really changed at all. that is, we are approached by a very large number of german citizens who are attacked by their own e, some kind of russian roots. uh, moreover, not only russians who live in germany are attacked. also, russian germans come from kazakhstan, that is, uh, the attacks do not make much difference here. uh, both at the household level, and from some state institutions, and what especially worries us from educational institutions. eh, for kids. well, already throughout. by the way, for the last couple of three months there have also been such messages that, well, russians. yes, like those who were attacked, they nevertheless began to group, and they respond to these attacks. here. uh,

now. uh, now it's like this movement. hmm , it's fading away, or it's still there. i know that especially in telegram there are several groups. uh, there are about a few thousand people, there, they appear in these groups, where people simply exchange information, try to coordinate, try to help each other. uh, kind of a mutual aid organization. er, there's a place where people just share their experiences and, er, ask others for advice. e, faced with similar problems. e plus e yes, there are a number of activists who are trying to organize some. uh, processions, some kind of performances on the street just to draw public attention to the issue. eh, try to somehow declare themselves, that is, yes, people are trying to organize themselves precisely in order

to exchange information, coordinate and help each other, and eugene about the impending energy crisis. come on, the authorities of germany repeatedly, as the authorities of many other european countries have already called, but the germans. uh, there's some hard saving. yes there is not turn on the air conditioner there to lower the temperature of the heater, but this already portends. this is just the situation in late autumn, probably in winter. but in connection with this, what are the moods in germany itself about this, what people say, is understandable. that what politicians say is one thing. and the fact that people are ready, they generally freeze. well, just these are the measures to which they are called to comply. in my opinion, the population is still in that uh summer holiday mood. hmm. that is, until the majority. eh, these worries did not reach when relegated, uh, to the background precisely in connection

with such vacations and so on, but uh, indeed, in the media in politics and the ruling politics they say that the winter will be, uh, hard. uh, an energy crisis is looming , a gas supply crisis is looming. uh, so uh try some at the federal level at the länder level. or who is he trying to take some steps to mitigate the blow to the population to mitigate the blow to the industry, but uh, for now, some kind of clear , e, program or some clear clear clear plan does not exist. that is, it all resembles some kind of throwing, because germany is really not able to refuse russian gas. uh, prices are going up, that is, uh, again. uh, aggressive rhetoric. uh, in the direction of the russian federation, it does not subside, that is, sanctions and in general. this is this political pressure, it

remains, so it is not known, in fact, how seriously this population will be affected. it is already being said by many that there will indeed be interruptions in e.g., power supply, maybe there will be turn off electricity. eh, some for a while. uh, the industry is also very seriously affected. that is, uh, especially, let's say the aluminum industry, which is tied to the supply of energy, and cheap energy. there, they predict. uh, downsizing and production and mass layoffs. so in this regard, of course, uh, the situation remains very tense. yes, we still have a minute left , i want to talk about this here, you know the nerve of this situation, as it really is in society, they look at this situation. yah, we'll turn it off. uh, hmm, i don't know there are heating radiators to annoy those russians. yes, so that they also do not live well, or just the opposite, why should ordinary germans suffer

because of this. well, there are more and more outrages. why why should we pay? e, at the expense of my comfort, at the expense of my well-being, i have some political projects of our government, that is, well, i have to pay with my comfort exactly the counterfeit that our government arranged for the russian federation how much is the island in social terms? i'm not talking about some speeches or demonstrations, but still, for the time being, this is not acute and is precisely due to the fact that people are on vacation. so far there is no such island yet. eh, that's how to say the mood in society, but already many people, of course, eh, with care. yeah, they somehow look at what politicians predict for us, krylov's fable, of course. in germany, they hardly read about the

dragonfly and the ant. here is a fable, an antenna, for sure, they read, there was a grasshopper, in my opinion, and there was an ant. well, let's see what will be more like this. uh, hmm uh, less vacation days, actually. uh, a period when you have to already, well, really think about your comfort again. evgeny thank you evgeny schmid, a member of the alternative party for germany, authorized for the rights of russians in germany, was in touch with us. sergei shoigu ruled the inspection of the vostok group, which is participating in a special operation in ukraine. what priorities for the military did the head of the ministry of defense outline? specialists can lead the ukrainian military
