the warrior had a ban on the use of chemical weapons, but germany did not sign this document. it is believed that the germans first used gases on the ypres river, hence the name ypres. but in fact, the first attempt was in january 1915 from warsaw in the town of balimov. the gas then fell in the form of crystals into the snow. after the story of january 1915, the great russian chemist mikolay zelinsky began to think about how to neutralize poisonous gases. moreover. and his son was generally susceptible to this attack, he wrote to him in a letter about this bolimov attack, yes, that some soldiers were still poisoned, but many were saved because someone wrapped their heads in an overcoat, someone breathed through a wet rag, they put earth in a rag, they breathed through it, zelinsky understood then , which can save you from poisoning. gases, some kind
8:01 pm
of porous substance that will absorb, so to speak, these toxic elements, and as such an element he proposed, in fact, activated carbon, which he also invented. zelinsky conducted experiments on himself, he entered the laboratory, filled with a deadly mixture of chlorine and phasgene, took several breaths and exhales through a handkerchief in which activated carbon was wrapped, and walked out. the great chemist did not profit from the misfortune of those poisoned by gases; he believed that people should not. the russian army showed clear success in this war in the operation of the summer of 1916.

8:06 pm
the russian side is grateful to the president of belarus alexander lukashenko for the gesture of kindness will pardon german citizen krieger, sentenced to death. well , moscow is also grateful to the leadership of all countries that assisted in preparing the exchange. well, now let's return to the first topic of this issue. we of course, we know that an exchange took place, eight citizens returned to russia, this tells me that konstantin vladimirovich yaroshenko, who spent many years in an american prison, is in direct contact with us, i welcome you, this is how you
8:07 pm
could comment on the remaining exchange? hello, hello, right? yes, good afternoon, excuse me, there are some minor technical problems, but yes, yes, of course, yes, i wanted to hear your opinion about the exchange that took place, but first of all, i’m very glad that after all, our citizens, which means that 10 people were returned to their homeland, and of them, as i understand it, eight are adults and two children, it doesn’t matter that our state is now again following the same path as
8:09 pm
8:10 pm
were convicted of real crimes, and many of our citizens, they are serving their sentences, undeservedly, who did not commit any illegal actions. regarding this exchange, i would like to know maybe at what stage were you involved in the discussion of the exchange issue, but how does this all happen, how important is the place when relatives find out about it? well , what can i tell you that all these special operations that are carried out according to... they are very deeply classified information is released only at the very last moment, at the very
8:11 pm
last moment, i only found out thanks to my american lawyer, who took a very big risk in this matter, he took a very big risk, because he told my wife at least some good news for 12 years, and so this information should have already been released to the media after the exchange took place, but... here are our authorities, yes, our intelligence services, they were already immediately after my exchange, as you can see, and after now, as sucked exchange, they immediately post everything in the media, how the exchange is carried out, in what state our citizens are, the american authorities treat this a little differently, they keep it secret until the last minute, how this whole thing will happen, so about the details of the operation , i i think that other than... the fsb or some other separate structures, they are only aware of how the whole thing will be
8:12 pm
planned, self-cancellation, procedure and what possible developments of events. me, before i was exchanged by the american authorities, they warned me that any glitch, any kind would be in the exchange, we will immediately return you to an american prison, from anywhere, from any point, because i was flying through portugal and military . base on the island of crete, so i was immediately alerted to the slightest glitch, the slightest hiccup, the exchange would not take place, but i was like the first sign, because it was, as i understand it, it was the first exchange of a civilian, and not an employee of some structures, for the same thing for an american civilian, so there were a lot of risks there on one side on the other, but i believe
8:13 pm
that our structures, our authorities are now completely outplaying the americans, because there is no doubt here, perhaps it all depends on the government that is now in power, this is the biden administration , perhaps, i can’t say this as an assumption, but i’m very glad that our authorities, our services still achieved the release of our... citizens and soon now they will already be in their homeland, that is, you think after all, this is more of the administration biden is also taking such a step towards russia, despite all the statements, or maybe it’s the trump administration, like an active candidate for president, something like that for some kind of leverage there, i think that this is still very weak biden administration, there have been three presidents in my lifetime, this was obama, trump and... and how, because both the obama administration and
8:14 pm
the trump administration, let's say, they did not make any deals, although i know, i knew that our authorities were fighting for me very actively, not only mit, and other structures, but i think this is a very weakness of the biden administration, this is what i believe, perhaps in this situation, you see, what the biden administration has changed. almost 12 people, well, it turns out that there was a strong work of the russian administration, respectively, and the russian special services, there were many who participated, of course, of course, i also wanted to clarify with you, maybe some details about the documents that have to be signed, maybe some requirements are put forward separately, maybe there still must be a certain state of health, and so on, that’s how it is everything is also happening, i think it’s not the state of health of the prisoners here... which is in the usa, doesn’t play any role in this, in my case there were very
8:15 pm
big problems with both health and my content, but this doesn’t play into that the fact that regarding the exchange, i don’t think it played a role in any way, maybe to some small extent yes, but by and large here and the most important thing is that, what’s in mine as with me, because i was illegally convicted of ... just the support of our state, our foreign ministry, our president, and i think that played a key role, the fact that i am now many citizens of the russian federation will soon be in their homeland. well, by the way, you mentioned publications in the media, in the press, yes, information often leaks out, yes ahead of time, someone is leaking this information, what consequences could this
8:16 pm
have? well, i think there will be no consequences on the territory of the russian federation. here on the territory of the united states of america, yes, there may be very serious sanctions, whoever knows this information, and let’s say, is allowed to access it before, until the moment when this exchange procedure itself is completed, then there can be very serious sanctions, i think that even up to imprisonment, because for me , well, let’s put it this way, they took a risk there let's say mine too. the usa has risks for them, on the territory of the russian federation, you know that our country is open, we actually have a working
8:17 pm
democracy, not like in the usa, so there are no risks here. well, yes, even one small leak can really ruin such a long, painstaking work, yes, just bring everything together in a week. here you are, of course, of course, from all sides, yes, you mentioned about, well, as you put it, yes, the weakness of the biden administration, here just such a question arose, and what do you think, maybe this not the last exchange, maybe somehow we will be able to somehow make something of our own people too, i hope so, i really hope that this will continue. in the future, because a lot of our citizens are imprisoned specifically in the united states, and i, it doesn’t matter, were convicted of a crime committed, not a crime committed, but i think people should still be in their homeland, closer to their family, in my circle, so i think that i
8:18 pm
hope and pray for this, that after all, this will continue and... the american authorities refused this three times without specifying the reason, so i really hope that this will continue in the future. by the way, you mentioned the european union, here somehow, maybe you have information about how the work is different, maybe there with the united states, with the european union in this regard, that is
8:19 pm
, somewhere it might be easier like - work, while it’s still historical, may be easier there in the european union and so on, what do you think? i think that working with the european union will be easier, because i have a lot, let's just say, i can cite maybe two or three cases when citizens of europe returned home from the united states, from russian prisons, because they adhere to the laws more now, this is the european union, unlike the united states, which violates any norms of international law. so they kidnap people, illegally carry out some kind of investigative measures there and sentence them to huge terms, so in europe it’s a little different, there they more or less adhere to the norms of international law, although i believe that over the last 2 years everything has changed very much for the worse,
8:20 pm
why because the us authorities are not doing it as they say. now, in fact , europe, europe follows all the instructions of the united states of america, and on any issues, so i think it will be easier to negotiate with europe, especially regarding exchange or regarding the extradition of citizens of the russian federation who committed a crime in our country, this too an important aspect, because many criminals who committed crimes here are now hiding in the territory. european union, well, that’s why it’s much easier to negotiate with them than with the us authorities. yes, here too, of course, let’s hope that these exchanges will take place in the near future, as long as you are now. they told me that i also looked at these footage that we are showing, you probably don’t have the opportunity to watch them, but nevertheless, i see that the guys, well, it’s clear that,
8:21 pm
in principle, they feel normal, they are smiling, obviously, that they are happy that they returned to their homeland, i wanted to ask you, here’s what usually happens next, here’s the exchange took place, yes, the guys returned to their homeland, what’s next, a mandatory medical commission, what else, these are the mandatory procedures, well... then i flew home, of course, yes, i had a lot, i received calls, of course , yes, i needed a little medical help, i went through rehabilitation for quite a long time, and to restore my health, but in my case everything was quite so, well, deplorable, because i spent about six months recovering, well, it all depends on that.. this is the state they will be in now. our citizens, well, now i just see in your footage, here is paul villin, beautifully dressed, with bags, with personal belongings, no handcuffs,
8:22 pm
no scandals, they are perfectly boarding the plane, in my case this didn’t even happen, i was in handcuffed, in shackles, sat for 28 hours without food, there they gave me some water to drink a couple of times, nothing more, but here i can see perfectly well that people are well dressed, well, you know, a good plane, they travel without handcuffs, so i i think that american citizens will not have to there is no medical rehabilitation there, again, i’ll separately note when they exchanged me for trevorarid, and let’s just say, the man was in excellent physical shape and literally six months later, a year later he ended up in in... in ukraine and fought with our troops in in new territories, so now i can only comment on one thing about
8:23 pm
seeing the american spy, spy paul willen, that he is in excellent condition, does not limp, and the american people are in very good condition, like our citizens, of course it is necessary will look at who will of course need help and medical care. psychological help, help also for families, because i, let’s say, i know what i went through, my family went through, it was very emotional, again, to return after 12 years of imprisonment, to return home to my homeland, well, but let’s say so, at home, let’s say, my native land restored me very quickly, literally within six months i came to my senses. yeah, something is known about this spy, maybe you have some information, you recognized him, that is , you see, but about paul willian, no, i
8:24 pm
only know that he was convicted of an actual crime, but from the very beginning i remember very well, i was in a us prison, i he was completely followed, what statements he gave, which his brother, what statements he gave, his name was david. and he gave a statement that he was innocent, and the same thing happened before, there was an attempt on our part to exchange, but his family, personally his brother david, gave a statement that no, why change criminals, especially russian ones, yes, on such an innocent person who came here and collected data, that’s why more than from the media, i don’t have any more information, yeah, well, so that yes, the audience after all... also really understood, that is, the footage that we see is, after all , american citizens, and spies who are now putting them on board a russian airline plane in order to send
8:25 pm
them there, as i understand it to ankara, but it really turns out that way, yes , yes, yes, that’s right, now they’re walking, just like in mine case, when they imprisoned paul willen, and oh, trevar reed, yes, they changed them into normal clothes with their lights, took them out to some kind of colony now. they board a russian plane for a flight to ankaruli to another point where the exchange itself will be made. yeah, so we are waiting for footage of our guys returning to their homeland, and of course we will definitely show them. yes, konstantin vladimirovich, i thank you for being in direct contact with us for your comments, thank you very much, have a good evening. well, now let’s turn again to the personnel from the fsb russia, client... the united states carried out, let me remind you, an exchange of prisoners, as a result of the exchange that took place today in ankara, eight russian citizens returned to their homeland, they were exchanged for a group of persons acting in the interests and...
8:26 pm
for the state, damage to the security of russia, about this was reported to the fsb central office. the russian side is completely satisfied with the exchange, this was stated in one of the competent departments. the exchange became possible thanks to the systematic work of the russian government department, as well as foreign partners, the fsb noted. so today president vladimir putin signed decrees pardoning polan.
8:27 pm
a source in one of the russian competent departments named the names of russians who returned to russia and were imprisoned in nato countries. these are artyom dultsev, anna dultseva, pavel rubtsov, konoshchonok, vadim, mikushin. mikhail, roman seleznev, as well as minor children, this is what the source said. among the russian citizens who returned to their homeland as a result of the exchange there is a vfrg who was serving a life sentence, a russian citizen known by the name krasikov, who was imprisoned by the united states vladislav klyushin. this was reported by a source in one of the russian competent departments. as a result of the exchange, a group of citizens returned to russia, for whom the wine remained,
8:28 pm
and cooperation with the intelligence services was established. in russia , the guilt of the russians has not been proven, the source also said this, and also noted that all those returning to russia will first of all undergo a full medical examination. in preparation for the exchange, the foreign side was interested in russian citizens; they were presented as the opposition, but completely their guilt in serious crimes has been proven, this was reported by a source in the russian competent agency. the russians who left the country were in touch with their handlers from western intelligence services.
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
, russia and china, first of all, we are honest. we do our job and we spare no effort to bring peace to the middle east, but there is one country that has its own considerations, then call this country by name when you criticize the security council. all projects for the delivery of humanitarian aid to the gas sector cannot be implemented while fighting continues there, polyansky added. after 300 days of israeli operations, the palestinian enclave became uninhabitable. however, tens of thousands of people are trying to survive there. washington continues to fuel the conflict in the middle east by supplying israel with weapons. the us cares more about its income arms concerns than about the lives of palestinians. the states take exactly the same position in the ukrainian conflict,” polyansky noted.
