and they can sink any ship in the baltics as well in the baltic sea, i mean, and, and so that this only leaves a narrow stretch of land of over which troops and material can be transported. this is called the sa walkie gap, and it's the only 65 kilometers wide. so in a pincer movement, russia could basically cut the baltics off from the rest of the west. and this is why people are so scared here. but how realistic is a russian attack on the baltics? well, of course, to the politicians here and to the people here, it's quite clear. russia is very, very busy, and ukraine at the moment as preoccupied i. it would be the better word that they've bitten off more than they can chew. a vast majority of russia's land forces are there. and, but the fear is, of course, that russia will learn from its mistakes in ukraine. and we've seen catastrophic mistakes by the russian military. maybe they will improve their communications. maybe they will improve their command and control structure. and once they've regrouped and strengthened their army, the fear is that they will turn their sites to the west

one of nato's most vulnerable points is in the baltics, and so she said, germany will stand by the baltic side. and yes, can you contextualize as that for us, killian, how vulnerable are the baltic states? well, it really comes down to jewel politics. and we have to take a look at where the baltics are situated, especially lithuania. it's squeezed in between coline grad in the north and bell roofs in the air. in the south. and colleen and grad is one of the most heavily fortified territories in all of europe. it's heavily militarized. russia has a very significant anti aircraft capabilities there, an anti shipping capabilities, so they can basically shoot down any aircraft and a 400 mile radius, and they can sink any ship in the baltics as well. in the baltic sea, i mean, and, and so that this only leaves a narrow stretch of land of over which troops and material can be transported. this is called the sa walkie gap, and it is only 65 kilometers wide. so in a pincer movement, russia could basically cut the baltics off from the rest of the west. and this is why people are so scared here. bu

soviet attorney georgy astakhov on all issues related to the territory from the black sea to the baltic sea. we could easily agree. the german side was in a hurry hitler was already preparing for the invasion of poland and his diplomat had to do everything possible to prevent the creation of an anti-german coalition with the participation of the ussr if the red army supported the troops of the polish republic this could have turned into catastrophe for the wehrmacht by the end of august 1939 , germany was ready to make proposals to the soviet leadership that they could not even dream of until recently. there were seven days left before the outbreak of world war ii. on august 23, 1939, joachim von riganthropus flew to moscow on the night of august 24, a non-aggression pact between germany and the soviet union was signed in moscow, also known as the molotov-ribbentrop pact. according to this document, the parties pledged to refrain from any violence, any aggressive action and any attack in each other, both individually and jointly with other powers. the soviet leaders had no illusions, th

those 3 baltic states over the past few days. all those states have called on germany to do more for ukraine, including delivering weapons. has there been any movement by the german government on that front, hans? yes, there's been some confusion, especially in terms of communication from various members of the german government about this in the last few days at no, i think some clarity has emerged. germany is not going to deliver heavy weapons out of its own, also known because it says it just simply does not have them available. what's going to happen is that as slovenia, as the 1st country will deliver heavy weapons, will deliver tanks to ukraine. and those gaps that are, that then exist in slovenia will be fooled by supplies from germany within a few weeks a month. so this kind of chain reaction as it were, has been agreed on. in addition, germany is offering to tears, not only money, but also maintenance and training for some of the systems that are going to be supplied. and some of the training is likely to happen in lithu

it doesn't matter if it's your grand georgia, all dormer, or in the baltic states are the baltic countries in particular, at cher, painful history with russia. they were part of the soviet union foremost 45 years after bolt were 2. and many people here call it and a capacious are after the soviet union fell, there was a forced to declare their independence again in 1990, and they definitely don't want to lose this independence, especially people. in lithuania, this baltic country board is russia exclaimed, of calling and drat, which has been massively armed in recent years, and this is exactly where we went last week we met to lithuanians who are worried and arming themselves against a potential russian attack. let's have a look. oh bollywood slash gauss. gus is straining for the worst case scenario. is a member of the lithuanian rifleman union, a state backed paramilitary group that has been growing ever since russia annexed. grand mia? in 2014. 0, oh, so propaganda, old born russian stayed propaganda. targeted lithuania for us. it meant we could be the next ones with especially if you li

in one of the baltic states.est of the russian-speaking population began to help him, units of a large eastern country, more precisely, the russian army in front of western peacekeepers , advanced the command set two tasks to stop and disarm russian military personnel at checkpoints and neutralize the rebellious civilian population. so we didn’t hurt you russian soldiers portrayed hot, baltic guys, who were dressed in a motley protective uniform of soviet overcoats , helmets and sneakers, in appearance. they looked more like homeless people and willingly acted out on camera a meeting of russian savages with civilized europeans. yum-yum, give me a knife, he wants to open here to eat. so you explain to him what she is. it explodes it doesn't eat. it explodes with the friendly laughter of foreign officers, depicting the russian army. estonian undergrowth meekly gave up their weapons, ammunition and surrendered. and in these shots, the americans stop a whole truck with supposedly russian soldiers and force them to le

well, terry, there are many russians in the baltics, especially here in latvia. every 4th person living in lighter is actually a russian. and there are some latin media outlets are going to ride from broadcast in russia. that's obviously not the problem most to russian speaking people in the baltics come down the war and sympathize with the grain. you can also see the ukraine and flag on many, many building see in lakeville, estonia and lithuania, and that protests in front of the russian embassy. so the problem here is in prussian language or culture, but at least until recently there was a problem with russian stayed propaganda that many here have been consuming through russian television. ah, now all russian channels are banned, at least he unlocked there. although there are of course, still available on the internet for beach the all the people in particular get a completely different view of what is currently happening in ukraine area. thank you very much. our correspondent you are a chateau in the latvian capital rica. russian tennis players have reportedly

russia lost access to the baltic to return all these lands the romanov dynasty had to tsars.se sacred duty is to protect his land and the people living on it, the tsar was responsible for this not before people and not before history , but before god. polish gentry already for three centuries, a large orthodox population lived after the union of lithuania with catholic poland, orthodoxy in these lands was persecuted, and the russian language was forced out because of everyday life. in 1648, the zaporizhzhya cossacks, led by hetman bogdan khmelnytsky, raised an uprising, which soon turned into a real war, the battle went on with varying success. the zaporizhian cossacks several times appealed to moscow with a request to accept them into russian citizenship from the bogdanov-melnitsky such an appeal was received in june 1648. in 1653, the moscow zemsky sobor approved the acceptance of the territory of the zaporizhzhya army into the citizenship of the russian state. in 1654, in the city of pereyaslav, in the presence of russian ambassadors, the cossack rada took place, which dec

galya, a limited contingent of the red army, but now this measure seemed already insufficient; the baltic states received ultimatums ; the kremlin demanded to change the government to more friendly troops of the soviet border districts towards the ussr were put on alert, lithuanian president antana. from miton called on the cabinet of ministers to resist the soviets, but did not receive support and fled to germany in latvia estonia unconditionally accepted the conditions of moscow vilnius riga and tallinn went authorized by the central committee of the vkpb they had to provide preparation for elections and change of power. once these two people were ensigns of the russian imperial army. today they discussed the fate of estonia, a country that broke away from the russian empire, refusing to acknowledge the obvious . he swore allegiance to the soviet estonian treaties and proposed his own composition of the new government. and in response, i heard the reproaches of the soviet commissioner zhdanov coldly listed you delayed the agreement on the deployment of soviet bases negotiated with germa

became independent of russian gas and ask an expert if the rest of the block could follow in the baltic nations footsteps. and we take you to florida key west a tropical paradise that has had enough of cruise ship taurus himself, delaney and berlin. welcome to the show. the brutal effects of russia's invasion of ukraine are devastating the global economy. the world bank is flashing its global growth forecasts for 2022 by nearly a full percentage point. well, being chief economist, carmen reinhardt warned, the downgraded production of 3.2 percent. growth could end up being too optimistic, amid quote, exceptional uncertainty for the global economy. global finance, financial little leaders are in washington this week for joint meetings of the international monetary fund and world bank food insecurity, skyrocketing inflation, and the rising risks of debt crises, and poor countries will top the agenda. now, russia's warren ukraine is the main reason for the worsening economic outlook from the world bank. it expects ukraine's economy to contract a stunning 45 percent this year. russia russia'

yes, what is the baltics what is the baltics the baltics are countries.ral, i would not pay any attention to them. let them do whatever they want there, because it is only necessary to protect our population, which still has a million russians left there, yes, do not pay attention to them, on the other hand, do not pay attention to them here this is vicious. well, yapping, right? the dog barks, the caravan moves on because it is a flawed nation. they are there. uh, that means they were under the germans all the time and at the time also under the swedes, but this is also not a german group, which means, uh, during the war. they also supported the nazis in the same way. why they glorify there is nothing surprising in this, because this is an ideology, that is, we should not care about what they called vanya viktor zhozevchiy, but erasing our trace in history, that is, they delete us from history, should react in this way to these are the standing troops. well, we are we are especially informational occasions constantly these politicians who make themselves

i buy baltic. but how does it work? tell me, when, e.any attacked the soviet union, e., hitler's germany bought something from the soviet union, the united states bought from the united states, this is a completely different matter. i told the soviet union resources seized bought bought bought last day, that is, until the year 45 until june 41, forty-one. so i say, that is, when the war began, and they didn’t stop buying right, it means, is now the west thinking to go to war with a real war, and not a virtual and not a hybrid real war against the russian federation, then the first thing they should do is refuse to purchase gas right you here they talked about the superiority complex correctly about themselves e still disagrees, i think it's just an inferiority complex. what's the difference, right? and again same explain explain superiority complex. this is when you are trying to prove to your competitor that you feel better to prove yourself. worse than you, the same is not the big difference, since i have already said here several time

the already mentioned here in the statement and baltic pipeline swap, the baltic sea and which could deliver norwegian gas, add to poland as for starting for october. so putting all these things together, poland can cope. but of course, ellen g gas from overseas and norwegian gas is much more expensive than em, is much more expensive, excuse me, is much more expensive than siberian gas. so the real challenge may be even higher inflation numbers and pollen is already a suffering high inflation numbers. now, many other european countries have refused to follow putin's demands to pay for russian guys in roubles. what does this step now mean for them? do they need to worry? i think really indeed that this is the point here. this seems to me rather a warning signal to other countries than to poland. there are countries that are much less prepared for the situation that is hungry. that is austria, and that is last not least germany, which having it's deposits rather rather lowly, as filled with having much less alternative routes. the jamal pipeline, which goes through poland in and in ger

poland and the baltic states are in favor of a complete break with russia and demand to bring moscow to its knees. in other words are in favor of a war to a victorious end at the same time, france, germany and turkey do not believe in the victory of ukraine and are in favor of negotiations. at least a temporary ceasefire between the united states and britain in this scenario is somewhere in the middle, almost every day in washington and london , various tribunes sound like mutually exclusive statements that from one country e, neither american nor british soldiers what conditions will not participate in this conflict, and that washington and london are in favor of an early ceasefire on the other hand, the us senate approves the draft law on lend-lease to protect democracy in ukraine . it will allow in an expedited manner to supply kiev with modern weapons systems and other military assistance. well, or as stated in an interview with nbc, us secretary of state anthony b. linkin washington will supply ukraine with 10 anti-tank missile systems for each russian tank. not i know how this

live on central television and we continue to hide europe behind a high fence the baltic countries andoland are seriously considering the idea of ​​moving away from the border from russia and belarus and blocking the land border, and in the future it will completely fence off with a fence, which, by analogy with the ancient chinese fortification , is already called the great european wall farthest along this path. lithuania has advanced from vilnius, the russian ambassador is being expelled in klaipeda , the russian consulate is being closed, most likely moscow will respond with mirror measures and such a cooling of diplomatic relations will almost automatically mean that the border between countries will be locked up, and all freight and passenger traffic. however, these are not our days. and in the summer of the twentieth year, nato forces worked out the tactics of protecting the so-called dump corridor. if you look at the map, this is a narrow strip of land about 100 km long through the polish town of suwalki on the border with lithuania, the shortest route from the russian kalining

are higher, it is necessary to increase the military presence at the borders of the regions in the baltic, maneuvers are taking place, german and american ships carrying on board, su-27 cruise missiles, raised on command, control the situation over the sea, the pilots of the naval aviation of the baltic fleet determine the types of nato ships and aircraft, the tail numbers of which are entered in their catalog of air reconnaissance. in connection with the conduct of a special operation. activity has increased uh, fit uh, finnish f-18s. basically. fighters, of course. uh, as i said already with 39 gripins fit f-16 and with american. flags finnish germans also repeatedly saw foreign aircraft when meeting with russian fighters. often , the americans do not immediately move away from the border, they try to break away. usually they like to preen, they show what they have under their belly. uh, rockets try somehow sometimes even, maybe there is a little bit like the sailors have a bulk. they, too, can in their direction, so, as it were, to perform maneuvers. well, we have all the keys, the off

the baltics are not a citizen, or sometimes they write in general in these documents such a shamefulention of our colleagues, from some baltic states , absolutely not, as it does not fit into the global legal system, not into the system of law in the european union and in dialogue with the european union. we will seek a solution to this issue. we are still not satisfied with how the problems of the russian-speaking minority are being solved in baltics so i ask the lord to fight. please accept a return puck from the government of the russian federation, it is hard to imagine that in a modern civilized society. uh, hundreds of thousands of people were declared non-citizens of this category, it’s not invented invented in the baltic states invented to limit the legal rights of those people who live in this area in these territories, but when new members were admitted to the european union, rights were also violated million russians from their relatives in in the baltics, people suddenly turned out to be cut off by the new european wall of the schengen zone, our citizens could freely trav

the baltic pipe has been built with the help of denmark and the european union. it's expected to deliver natural gas from norway to poland very soon and going to operation as early as the 2nd half of this year. that will make poland independent of russian gas. and it could also transport supplies from the west to ukraine. earlier i spoke to young fellow cut, he's a correspondent in warsaw for a german public, broad case caster, a r d, and i asked him if poland will be able to cope with a hot of russian gas applies. well, they have for good reasons to say, so the 1st is reserves which are according to official data at around 2 thirds of their capacities. and the 2nd thing is that the heating season is almost done. and one of the main reason, prime minister just mentioned poland has invested quite a lot into a terminal, a to import liquid natural gas. ellen g g s port in the baltic sea and they are and the poland is about to start operating the so called baltic pipe, which was already mentioned here and which could starting from october and bring norwegian gas to p

captain of the estonian fleet also made a statement that u will be uh, the naval presence in the balticill also be expanded. listen to their ships of the permanent nato maritime rapid response group entered the baltic sea on friday part of the ships will come to the old cruise terminal of the port of tallinn exercise is a demonstration of the presence of allies in the baltic sea region. well, of course, uh, it's not the command of our naval forces and vladimir baluev, commander of the baltic fleet, were left without attention. eh, made a statement. the purpose of the exercises conducted by nato is to show the power and cohesion of the allies, however, the baltic fleet has enough coastal complexes and ship composition to counter the emergence of a threat, reconnaissance is carried out by all means in the event of aggressive plans. all targets will be on target. well, uh, how are you? see, uh, indeed nato is building up its presence, but what is nato yes and how much it is now, uh, united, and how much it is, well, real power or a paper tiger. well, firstly, teaching is always a demonstra

this is what the arrival of the baltic presidents and the president should now address poland uh.onnected with the surrender of more than a thousand marines and, of course, with the presentation of medvedchuk. and of course, with an attempt to pull someone very, very big out of the territory of azovstal, but for a long time we have not seen the baltic tigers in action. in addition, led by a real polish lion, therefore, well, to be serious about why the tigers went to the territory of ukraine, well, i think that it seems to me that it seems to me that this is more of a pr radius, why is this a demonstration, well, this one european absolute solidarity because the statement. in this case, i'm russophonic russophobic poland, poland is centuries-old russophobic poland let's put it out of brackets let's go for extras. yes, absolutely right. duda is more interested in this. i still say a few words, and then to the pipe ah. you see , when hmm there the president of lithuania declares we will continue military assistance to ukraine there e. would you guys help yourself if my memory serves

i think that the baltic countries can watch the program of the meeting place perfectly.nderstand, your position and the position of alexander yuryevich and the threats about the land corridor, not only in transnistria but in kaliningrad. they perfectly understand these risks, no one will. listen again me me too expressed the likelihood of some kind of provocation from the outside, but what i see is that they say so. all the same, from mezhovyvaetsya from her. of course, they support ukraine in words and so on. but this is just rhetoric no one's weapon. they are already for them, alexei, they are supplying weapons to ukraine. yes, they are included in this scheme. so what vital so what, and what is it about that they are ready to fight with russia to speak on the facts? why blocking kaliningrad, it already exists from the point of view of the apartment. nato brussels with i keep points. alekseevich will approve a partial blockade along the borders along the roads. it already exists for now. as far as i know the railroad. it still works and so on, if the railway is blocked

the sky over the baltic is darkening before the eyes of these leaden clouds.etersburg is not promised. the north atlantic cyclone mirella, which has been hosting in the baltic states for the last week, does not look so welcoming, today the verses will fall on the north-west of russia, the first harbingers of bad weather are clearly visible along the petersburg so that huge ice mountains form on the coast of the gulf of finland. with the coming of spring. the ice began to melt, and under the influence of the wind it began to be carried ashore. as a result , piles of height higher than human height were formed. from a height, ice hummocks look like frozen waves. the piles reach a height of about 4 m, the thickness of the blocks is more than 30 cm, the giant ice fragments are scattered by the squally wind along the shore, like sheets of paper. well, the complex of protective structures was built taking into account such loads. recently, such phenomena were recorded only in 2019. after new year's eve on the ninth of march, when there was a strong rise in water. an

it won't only make lithuania independent of russian gas, but will also help the baltic states supply neighboring countries with ellen. gee, that will be done by this gas distribution plant close to the capitol values from here, l n g flows to lithuanian neighbors. the operator is preparing for increased demand this place actually is connected to the new gas pipeline that this so being under very finishing could touch your center. we will start did the on the 1st of may and towards poland, i guess interconnection between pond and fanny. it's now easy for lithuania, poland, estonia, latvia, and finland to swap the gas reserves. so they have much better chances of making it through a russian gas embargo. while other countries hope to follow and lithuania the you as a whole remains heavily dependent on russian gas. earlier i spoke to michael stopper chief strategist for global black gas that i h as market about whether ellen g is a realistic replacement for the rest of the block. well, it does take time to not only build run, put in place, re gas terminals, but indeed been tar infrastruc

there is a risk of creating tension in the baltic direction. it is clear that the staff.iningrad is blocked, blocked, but there is a sea route. although formally the sanctions allow the transportation of goods through the sea route, the sea route is fettered between the baltic states and finland, here it is, which is located in the central part of the baltic sea in this narrow throat exiting the gulf of finland. why they are now so intensively drawing into finland not only because it will become a militarily foothold , finland 0. not only because it will become a foothold, because there is another possibility if finland has a twelve- mile sea zone. plus, the baltic sides will announce the twelve- mile zone, then the exit of the syphilin bay will be blocked for us. territorial waters of these two countries a-a, according to the international maritime law, we can, if necessary, overcome the territorial waters of these countries, which means, e. at peacetime, but warships, when passing through their countries, must necessarily warn that they are passing and guarantee that th

he visited the baltic sea. in case of complete blockade.part give up because of no serbia i think i think that now in the eyes there is where to look, is it true that russia yes is playing? no, you don't have should be scary, but the global map, the chinese -american confrontation is a confrontation in europe along the european front, respectively, finland is also part of this state, because, most likely, the flow of the silk road will reach st. petersburg and will be further reloaded into some ships and further across europe to go, there and so on. that is, these are really chinese american players, we should not forget about this, but we will leave china's partners in this regard. interests, but globally - it's all in the matrix. the chinese are coming, the chinese are creating us infrastructure. absolutely right, we are not currently supplying anti-aircraft missile systems. yes, and hq 22, which is now with work. wait , let's not look into the eyes of reality, but hmm fantasy. yeah, our special operation in ukraine ends, and ukraine new

before the terminal lithuania and the baltic phase have been paying the highest price in whole europe, approximately up to 40 percent more just because we did not have an alternative. after the defendant started the variation of the region, the natural gas prices became just the same as in the western europe. the terminal was cold independence because it makes lithuania completely independent of russian gas, which until recently was delivered via pipelines foaming in the terminal. and the port is prohibited due to fears of russian sabotaged. the ellen g comes from norway, the u. s. and the gulf states, the gas, which is cool down to minus 160 degrees celsius for shipping, is converted back to gas and fed into lithuanians grid through underground pipelines. a similar floating terminal could also make germany independent. a russian gas says yurgeet as his kite valencia vienna, better than it. it took 2 years to build the terminal, which will be expanded. it won't only make lithuania independent of russian gas, but will also help the baltic states supply neighboring countries with ellen.

it won't only make lithuania independent of russian gas, but will also help the baltic states supply neighboring countries with ellen. gee, that will be done by this gas distribution plant close to the capital vilnius from here. ellen g flows to lithuanians, neighbors. the operator is preparing for increased demand this place actually is connected to the new gas pipeline that this sir being ker under a very finishing could touches center, we will start it there on the 1st of may, head towards poland and gas interconnection between pond and devaney it's now easy for lithuania, poland, estonia, latvia, and finland to swap the gas reserves. so they have much better chances of making it through a russian gas embargo. now to some of the other global business stories making news stain with gas, the price of u. s. natural gas associates, highest level since september 2008. the rise was driven by a global energy crunch over russia's war in ukraine, as we've heard, as well as forecast for an extended spell of cold weather. french court has given to form a delivery executive suspended one year

the ferry transferred to the baltic from the black sea basin will help change the situation. differenterry capacities. they are on the limit, so a joint decision was made to order an additional trial. there are two on it. e crane with a lifting capacity of 350 tons actually. it's unique in general, equipment in russia, the regional authorities and the ministry of transport are considering the possibility of transferring to the line. also a large passenger liner. this is 2,500 people. uh, which well, in kaya e, there will be several hundred cars, because many kaliningraders would like to move by car across the main territory of the country, their first flight in the baltic, the ursamajer will leave today in 3 days and will go back from the mouth with cargo bows, the ship is to deliver medical equipment for the oncology center under construction marina naumova and evgenia bekich alexander naumov led the tolkachev news, kaliningrad region. orthodox christians have come great or good thursday from this day on, the boards of the entire church services are dedicated to the remembrance of the

which country in — our baltic nato allies. which country in particular- our baltic nato allies. country in particular would you like to see doing more? the united states _ like to see doing more? tie: united states which like to see doing more? tue: united states which has like to see doing more? tte: united states which has done like to see doing more? t'te: united states which has done a fair amount needs to step up and take leadership. i have to say that mrjohnson and the uk has been the most forward leading of countries in the west. the us has done 0k, needs to do better, and of course our other nato allies have to step up, germany, france, etc. what does rush — up, germany, france, etc. what does rush are's _ up, germany, france, etc. what does rush are's targeting - up, germany, france, etc. what does rush are's targeting of - does rush are's targeting of civilians, increasing targeting of civilians, in terms of their tactics? —— russia's targeting. it suggests that they have failed to deal with the ukrainian military so they cannot beat zelensky by beating the military th

and on the other side of the facade, what we fell in the baltics was an aggressive regime with back quite a lot of imperialistic ideas and ideas of how to rebuild the world that it has lost . so i would say that we are not nervous to the point where we knew what is behind us out. so we're not that much surprised, but we would like for the west and our allies now to take this new reality adequately. and it has to be confronted with, i mentioned, you know, with the actual assistance to your crane and stepping up with us but also securing the securing the baltic states. and this is one of the things that we are raising in natal format that nato has to address this, this new reality. and with practical measures, with additional security guarantees in that way or the reason. and along those lines of presidents, lansky has, has been even more dramatic. in his assertion of the challenges that you might face, he said, in fact, last month. if there is no more us than god forbid, lot the lithuania, estonia will be next. do you realistically fear that you will be next? i can tell you with all certai

first of all, that these, this territory, these countries, and 1st of all, the baltic states, why know, you know, so typically different situation and knowing our relatively small size and even live in a situation where we have rush out to west own our western border and bell ross and i bought it. so then we would like to see that the strategy would be that these countries can be defended and will be defended with a very specific job numbers with a very specific equipment and air defense and all the things that are needed in defense defense. the country has her up, learned from its mistakes or putting you think, i mean you're, you're, you're in the room. you have conversations with your, with your counterparts throughout the block should start pushing back harder against other authoritarian states. for example, like china and cheese pangs, accumulation of power there. that's an excellent question. because i think that every author returns country is working from the same textbook. it's building the same leverage is against a gate if it's trace pocket. now why we cannot that makes certa

i'm quoting you here. eastern europe and the baltic countries will undoubtedly still depression much more from now on. what exactly do you have in mind? from my point of perspective, if the security concern of russia is over ukraine is opening away to the invasion of ukraine. and if the invasion become successful, then why that won't be any security threats from the bulk of countries to the russia, the welcome country or the baltic countries with you mentioned, they are part of me though they're officially part of me. do you think russia, i mean, i think and the distinctions in. a you know, military analyst and all the other kinds of analysts is that really to people tend to take into account, you know, the capacities of various actors to go out setting up the ration, given the scale of the challenge of russia and ukraine. you know, the military challenge, the social challenge, you know, all the western sanctions associated. do you think russia has any resources, let alone motivation to evade? as you suggested the baltic states or to even look aggressively that way for research, for

in general, a forge of personnel for the baltic politicians. ah, caries.orn in the state de la ver. he studied at the anapus, that is, well, real such baltic politicians who do nothing but do it. what do they think about the fate of their own peoples. well actually it absolutely uh such american uh uh nato, but puppets don't you know, i would even call them watchdogs, because for the puppets it's somehow very peaceful. sounds. well, yes, and now, if we assume zelensky it’s pure water, a puppet is somewhere, indeed, in-depth training chain dogs i, by the way, in my telegram channel, the russian accent recently called accomplices in war crimes, so it is, because all these requirements for the rate of weapons within the framework of this conflict means actually complicity in war crimes. and if , for example, a leader cannot say something today, they don’t just speak france or germany, but they also provoke these large european countries to such acts and they perform a function. such e inside nato is a kind of e military police, or if you want such forces of t

actual assistance to your crane and stepping up with assistance, but also securing, securing the baltic states. and this is one of the things that we are raising in natal format that nato has to address this, this new reality. and with practical measures, with additional security guarantees in the region. and along those lines of presidents, the landscape has, has been even more dramatic in his assertion of the challenges that you might face . he said in fact last month, if there is no more us than god forbid, lot feel it. when he a stone, you will be next. do you realistically fear that you will be next? i can tell you with all certainty that and when, when we are saying that your brain is fighting not for is only their own country, but also for the baltics and other surrounding countries like malden or georgia. we mean it, this is actually what we are thinking if proven is not stop if he does not lose in ukraine than he will go further. that is, that is a fact. and. busy fortunately for us, ukrainians doing everything that he can to stop within the indian construct. nato has, and the

the baltics are threatened. perhaps poland. we cannot be. what i hear from some of the colors, what i heard in the 1930s, very weak response to a dictator. we have to have a firm hand here or we will have world war iii. i decided to disagree with of thecaller. this is all on putin and i think we stand with ukrainians and don't put u.s. forces there. i don't think the troops should be in ukraine or the airman should be in ukraine but we should get them everything they need to defend themselves. >> host: richard in louisville kentucky, republican. good morning. >> caller: yes. i would like to know where the good representative was back in march of 2021 when putin started lining off takes up on the border. and we justrt sat around. nothing was said and nobody did anything. once the man goes in, and stars murdering children, all of a sudden you want to comee to the rescue. you are a fraud -- >> guest: this poor gentle man doesn't have all the facts. congress was not informed of this until the first week of december. the administration knew about

eh, the american javelin is there another english fifth baltic one, and so on, but the fact is that all slingshots were supplied, we must take this into account from now already now . why i understand i agree with you a week and a half and the steel will be taken, and then preparations will begin for the main battle by the largest grouping of the ukrainian armed forces , which will be a turning point on the battlefield and prevent the enemy from pumping muscles at the expense of american english polish baltic weapons there. this is a strategic goal. i think that the general staff of the russian armed forces understand this very well. well, people are just waiting. when we finally start doing business, we will return it. we seem to be showing more moscow kremlin putin every sunday at 22:00. svetlana now knows for sure that the park wanted a new square. ivanova choose a project and vote for its implementation on the site out of town sreda.ru everyone just talks about the benefits at the savings banquet indica, chilled with a discount of up to 20% from the savings banquet meter. order in r

finland, of course, is just a hop and skip across the baltic sea. sweden is closely aligned with them as well. so it would enhance the capacity of nato defend itself in a very significant way. this is a move that vladimir putin cannot have dreamt of. he thought that nato was too close to russian borders. well, when you start invading countries, nato will come closer. for ukraine it also means that this idea that ukraine will be better off if it were finlandized, an idea that many people were talking about only weeks ago, turns out that finland wants to be nato-ized in order to prevent exactly that from happening. >> former u.s. ambassador to nato, ivodaalder, thanks for coming on this morning. >>> a top ukrainian human rights official says 150,000 children have been forcibly deported the russia. ukraine's ministry of foreign affairs says that includes, quote, orphan, children deprived of parental care, as well as children whose parents died as a result of russia's military aggression being taken across state borderings of our state into russia. russ

the borders of the russian federation, the option is presumably immediately pecked, uh, from the balticerritories baltic republics the second question is, and what kind of forces and means does great britain or lesser britain have for delivering these strikes, respectively, except for the air force they have. uh, there are no others, english aircraft carrier to the shores. e of the russian federation at a distance, the effective use of tactical aviation is not suitable from the territory of the baltic sea. there, our kaliningrad. well, not from the territory of the north sea, there the black sea fleet is not from the southern shores, respectively. therefore, this is all a bluff and, apart from how to morally support the ukrainian side on present day. in any case, this is the maximum idiotic statement, and with the ease with which they talk about the third world war, of course, life is becoming more and more restless on our planet vladimir, i see the indians, of course, tried so hard. he is struggling to stick a nail in his forehead, but it looks like the carnation is bent, apparently. i

soviet russia paid for the loss of vast territories of ukraine, belarus, the baltic states, and part the transcaucasus. many contemporaries called the apparatus world a betrayal of national interests and a betrayal of the allied duty, even the bolsheviks turned their backs on their former allies of the left era, who considered the realists unacceptable worlds, sarov, the newspaper of the body of the people wrote a state that accepts such a world loses the right to exist. on the occupied lands, the germans created puppet regimes in ukraine , they overthrew the power of the central rada. and at the head of the state they put hetman pavel skoropadsky , in the past, lieutenant general of the russian imperial army, the baltic duchy was created in latvia and estonia. and lithuania was proclaimed a kingdom. the throne of lithuania was assigned to the german principle wilhelm von oruh, and the offensive of the turkish-azerbaijani islamic army unfolded in the transcaucasus. she crossed the border provided for by the brest treaty and seized the side. the civil war flared up and on the territor

the baltic states offering its presence in poland and the baltics here at our hotel, even in riga. there are danish troops that just arrived a few days ago, and they are probably also bolstering up nato's presence here in the baltics. so, if tutoring wants to go for for confessions or not, of is the big question, of course. and we will see what happens. ukrainian president val loading married to lensky express quite a bit of as a discontent about the fact that good terrorist would visit moscow in fulton before he would come to keith, why do you think you chose that order? but many people were angry about putin visiting no, sorry, go cherish, visiting putin force before zalinski. because of course, russia is seen as the aggressor on the other hand of russian stay propaganda. and the russian government constantly claims that they are isolated and nobody wants to talk to them. so, of course gutierrez was taking a step forward now a step towards russia and returning to parish is the world's top diplomat. you could say. so of course, that is a step that has been taken by him. now that i
