the participants of the hearings also asked the assistant us secretary of defense celeste wallender, why the us is against ukraine striking russian refineries. let me remind you that this week in congress, defense minister lloyd austin said that ukraine's attacks on oil refineries in russia could affect global energy. markets, instead he urged ukraine to focus on attacks on military targets, which was celeste wallender's argument. i am also concerned that when the ukrainians struck russian oil and gas infrastructure, the administration biden spoke out and condemned the ukrainians for attacking russian oil and gas infrastructure and advised them not to do it again. you can tell me why, while russia is attacking ukrainians, their oil and gas industry. the problem of attacks on critical infrastructure arises when these are civilian targets, and it worries us, because ukraine tries to adhere to the highest standards, the laws of armed conflicts, and this is one of the elements of european democracy. but the russians are attacking the oil and gas infrastructure in ukraine, right? absolute

and celeste wallender is the assistant secretary of defense of the united states states, she said shessian refineries were civilian targets. however, the military experts we spoke with do not agree with this assessment. they say that ... russian refineries are perfectly legitimate military targets, even, by the way, some nato officials say that these strikes had a significant impact on the russian economy and undermined russia's ability to finance its war against ukraine. i had a question, i had an opportunity to ask this question in the pentagon, to ask why they do not consider russian refineries as legitimate targets for of ukraine, and what is their assessment of the impact of these strikes on the military situation. let's listen. why the pentagon does not consider oil refineries, which are directly related to russia's ability to finance this war, to be legitimate strategic goals for ukraine. i will not speak for ms wallender, and obviously the minister's words speak for themselves. as minister austin emphasized, we are focused.

everything would be peaceful, but it, you understand that it cannot be like that with russia, even celeste wallenderthat any kind of, well, this is lloyd austin's deputy, that any kind of talk with russia, even some negotiations, it will not mean peace, well , peaceful peace, so i would like to hear your opinion about this summit, which will take place in switzerland, the dates given are june 14-15, i remember... that putin and biden met somewhere also in the summer of 21 on the eve of the invasion of the full-scale invasion of ukraine, what is the truth in geneva at the villa, oh my god, i forgot, i forgot , i forgot, i forgot, now i will remember, i will remember, i will say, where gorbachev and reagan once met, villa legranch, and in geneva. and please tell me what to expect and why so many countries are joining this peace summit, what can be expected, although i do not believe in peace with putin while he still has some... assets in resources at the front. well, in fact, our peace formula is precisely aimed at the fact that russia should join it only at the last moment, when it will be forced to

very worried about their investments in ukraine; the assistant minister of defense, a certain celeste wallenderh money. otherwise, the previous 2 years of investment in the square simply won’t pay off. no recent work two years of investing in ukraine's future won't pay off if we don't agree on help in the next few months. in general, for the american elite this is not an empty investment at all, so many people have already died. yuri ivanovich soon joins our conversation. yuri ivanovich, hello, we will speak with you today as american investment experts. investments, how are things going with investments in ukraine now, things are going there now, they say that not everything is good, and the statripol test is most likely up to the end the war will have to say goodbye, well, of course , there is no exact data yet, but judging by that fire, by the explosions, detonations, repeated detonations, again ours struck in two stages, that is, at first they struck once, then they saw that it was hit there, that no, they applied it again, well, the locals say that they are very pessimistic. yes, just a fe

us international security council celeste wallender demanded to fight further in order to teach a lessonsia is advancing along the entire front line. on normal days, hundreds, thousands of ukrainian soldiers die due to russia's gigantic superiority in artillery and aviation and hypersonic missiles. ukraine is losing on the battlefield, it is losing exactly what we claim it is trying to protect, because president biden refuses to admit that this is a failed gambit, that it is a terribly bad game that continues to raise the stakes on the other. on the other hand, perhaps this can be understood from a purely personal point of view. 69 cm. the head of the ministry of construction, faizulin, said that they are trying to protect apartment buildings in orenburg from floods with the help of water-filled dams. the head of the ministry of emergency situations, kurenkov, arrived in the region today again. 76 military transport aviation, delivered 90 tons of humanitarian cargo. another plane of the ministry of emergency situations flew to the tyumen region, which is also affected by large waters. th
