of europe and the words of the 46 member states of the councilpe. as long as it will be necessary, and immediately after that, an extraordinary meeting of the committee of ministers of the council of europe began, which also discussed the consequences of russia's invasion of ukraine and approved a document of the decision of the committee of ministers, in which, in particular, in addition to the fact that, once again, it emphasized the comprehensive support of ukraine from the european side, it was it is specified that work has already begun to bring russia's leaders, including the president of russia, vladimir putin, to responsibility for the crime of aggression against ukraine, and it is already happening in the hague the creation of a special prosecutor's office that will deal with the investigation of the crime of russian aggression against ukraine, and the council of europe is ready to help in this process, including developing norms that will allow, for example, the development of ukraine russian money, which is currently confiscated on the

:00 russia continues to interact with members of the council of europe and other countries within theme 40 conventions. they concern legal cooperation between the fight against terrorism and superculture, but the council of europe has been radically reborn as a result of attempts. the west to turn it into their tool to achieve foreign political interests about all this about work with other international organizations. in an interview with our channel, deputy foreign minister alexander grushko alexander viktorovich said hello, thank you very much for taking the time to talk with us. and of course, my first question. he is connected in one way or another with the current situation in the ministry of foreign affairs. you are in charge of interaction with the osce with the european union with the nato council of europe in the current series that changed. how relevant is this line of work and the nature of this very work for you, how has it changed. hello well, that's how they merged everything into one. ah, the vial. uh, after all, we have very different connections with these organizati

, this is stated in the decision of the committee of ministers, in particular, the council of europe d the creation of an international committee to punish the crime of russian aggression against ukraine, which has already begun, and the council of europe also stated that it will participate in the development of a compensation mechanism for ukraine in of these damages caused to them by russia's war against it, and the news is that the council of europe has declared its readiness to participate in the creation of a register of such damages with its own forces and on its own basis. thus, we will wait for the news from this flank is hostilities and this concludes the solemn part in strasbourg, but the ukrainian day in strasbourg continues and now the actions will be moved to the strasbourg cathedral, where at 17:50 kyiv time a ukrainian demonstration will begin in which the ukrainian community of strasbourg will take part, as well as it is known that hundreds of ukrainians are coming here from other parts of the region, from other parts of france, and the ukrainian day will end at 7:00

mariya pensinovych burych is the president of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europealuable coke the representative of iceland who currently chairs the the committee of ministers of the council of europe is the minister of foreign affairs of iceland tordis kolbrun-raichort gil fedotir they all stated that europe will be with ukraine until the end as long as it is necessary for ukrainian victory and also called to bring to justice all those guilty of aggression against ukraine, first of all vladimir putin the plants were touched by the moment of ukrainian and european level performance by the ukrainian singer iryna duvari . also, the participants of the ceremony honored all the people who died in the war with a moment of silence. of ukraine with russia and regarding what is planned for today in strasbourg, there is a lot planned right at this moment, the extraordinary session of the committee of ministers of the council of europe begins at the level of the representation of deputy ministers of ambassadors, and of course the topic of consideration today is the consequen

the state to return to the right path, but if the state does not have such a desire, then no council of europer matter, since they agreed to the jurisdiction of the european court of human rights when they joined the council of europe, then this is an international judicial institution that has the right to make the appropriate decision and already this decision is the basis for action by international organizations and by individual states, say this. so, when for many years after russia's attack on ukraine in 2014, our european colleagues they said that it is necessary to preserve russia's membership in the council of europe, otherwise russian citizens will not be able to apply to the european court of human rights, they actually abandoned the sanctions against the russian delegation in the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, why was this stupidity, what was the desire to find some real humanitarian opportunities for russians -e, my current status as a judge is spl limits me in the freedom of eruption in this sense, so i will answer a little diplomatically, but the truth is that

this applies not only to the council of europe. this also applies to nato; this applies to the european union of all integration associations. the west are all now undergoing a period of rather rethinking. why do they exist at all? what are the objectives of the task. this is perhaps the most significant thing that is happening now. well essential. this is that russia is still acquiring sovereignty, because the legislation of the council of europe, in any case, before the adoption of amendments to the constitution, in the twentieth year. would take precedence over our national legislation. they simply lost their sovereignty, in the name of which it is completely incomprehensible, because it was a tool for beating russia to stay in the institutions of the council of europe was simply masochistic. i consider it a ploy. we paid a lot of money according to the decisions of the echr, which there made us pay shit for the fact that they danced in cathedral of christ the savior and did not consider a single murder case. uh, civilians of the

with the president vladimir putin will announce it february 21 russia ends cooperation with the council of europerted the termination of international treaties against our country, including the statute of the council of europe of the european conventions on the suppression of terrorism and on the protection of human rights was created in 1949 when the world was multipolar. in general , all international institutions created at that time worked on the principles of respect for each other and as a possible platform for developing a solution, taking into account the opinions of everyone, and then everything changed, according to the speaker in the state duma, after the collapse of the soviet union, the world became unipolar and all these international institutions degraded and now serve the interests of only one of the countries and the united states vyacheslav volodin offers. to think about creating a new institution of the council of europe in an international organization, rotten values ​​today cannot unite the participants of the europe site, so we need to think about creating a new organizatio

introduced by the president of the russian federation, let me remind you that russia left the council of europerch 16, last year . convention for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. convention for the suppression of terrorism and statute of the council of europe for the whole lower house parliament denoted 21 documents. according to the deputy ministers of foreign affairs, who today took part in the plenary session of the state duma, the break in relations with the council of europe has been brewing for several years as the organization turns into obedient instruments of the collective west. the provision of article 1 of the charter of the council of europe on strengthening the unity of the european peoples. in fact, what are we and joined this organization, and the institute of the council of europe, the committee of ministers of the parliamentary assembly and the european court. on human rights, they began to be actively used by the western majority to cement the notorious order based on the rules for promoting values ​​alien to us and overt pressure on russia by its fore

duma of the russian federation , which demonstrated all agreements, who bound russia with the council of europe, we told this council the last. farewell. in addition, the state duma adopted a statement to the security council of the united nations regarding the explosions in the nord streams , demanding a thorough investigation . this crime, which was unconditionally committed by the administration of the united states of america, important events took place on the fronts of a special military operation at night zaporozhye cherkasy odessa sumy mykolaiv dnipropetrovsk regions of ukraine thundered. it was not just that they were attacks by our drones, which, judging by the frames that we receive from ukraine, achieved their goals , ivanovich, by entering his yerevan good evening to you , yes good evening, i will start then with the same drones that you mentioned already. not only were there drones, according to kiev , there were either dummies or real cruise missiles, nevertheless, as a result, we saw several hits only on critical infrastructure. and according to my information, there were a lot

us recall that russia left the council of europe yet. h 15 last year, according to the adopted document, the convention for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms will cease to operate. convention for the suppression of terrorism and statute of the council of europe of the whole lower house according to the deputy minister of foreign affairs, who today took part in the plenary session of the state duma, the severance of relations with the council of europe has been brewing for several years , as the organization has turned into an obedient instrument of the collective west , unifying principles are laid down in its charter. blurred for the sake of the european union and nato , the key provision of article one of the charter of the council of europe on strengthening the unity of the european peoples was consigned to oblivion. what are we really for? and joined this organization, as the institute of soviet europe committee of ministers of the parliamentary assembly of the european court. human rights began to be actively us

there is no council of europe, the council of europe is only on paper, and washington successfully uses this international institutions that were previously created are beginning to gradually degrade. because they do what in most cases. only serves the interests of one country usa the amount of the russian contribution to the budgets council of europe last year was supposed to amount to more than 33 million euros, but moscow is ready to pay only the period from january until the day it announces its withdrawal from the organization, that is , to contribute about six million euros responsibility at a briefing in chinese form also drew attention to the obvious suppression of the results of an independent investigation of this sabotage, which was carried out by an american journalist, reporters published their findings a week ago, blaming involvement in incidents on the us pipelines we noticed that when there were explosions on the nord streams, american and other western ones. the media one-sidedly speculated on the alleged culprit, but when the detailed report of the american investigati

the council of europe will have to overcome for a long time to withdraw from a number of conventions,ng with their positions and provisions on combating corruption on many others. the issue is performed in russia better than in the vast majority of countries, remaining today members of the council of europe also on the okhotny ryad , a draft law on monitoring compliance with the norms of the russian literary language will also be considered today, 12 amendments have been prepared for the second reading. a few amendments that seem to me absolutely fundamental. so, in the list of areas where the russian language, as the state language, is obligatory to use, we managed to expand this list with information for consumers of goods and services, and our second important amendment introduces criteria for the identity of the text in russian and in any other language about identity was in the federal law, but there was no about the criteria. that is why there could be an inscription in english in huge letters, and in russian somewhere on the side in small print and imperceptibly. also today in

georgia in the european the parliament of the council of the european union, the european commission of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe and the parliaments of the member states of the european union regarding the need for the immediate transfer of the third president of the republic of georgia from 2004-2013 , a citizen of ukraine, mikheil nikolozovich saakashvili, for medical treatment abroad, are ready to vote on the draft resolution 8417, i ask the people's deputies to vote for 311 decisions accepted thank you dear colleagues further on at the conciliation council, dear people's deputies, we agreed to combine two on the following resolutions to make one discussion two votes dear deputies, draft resolution registration number 8397 on the recognition of wagner's private military campaign as an international criminal organization and registration number 37 35 on the appeal of the verkhovna rada of ukraine to the united nations, the european parliament , the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe , the osce parliamentary assembly, the nato parliamentary assemblies are offered for your consideration of the bsec

this and the minister of foreign affairs of pansi-art, with whom i spoke several times at the council of europen his speeches , therefore , we are ready to work out all the practical elements and comments, but they must be realistic. the same republic of poland, which if ukraine had certain violations of the rights of national minorities in poland , there are no problems. poland, the community is quite large, and so on, they work actively and claims are only common, but we understand who gives him specific instructions to jump into the topic, and these are friends, and we do not forget . who voted ? it seems to me that the verkhovna rada voted even with a constitutional majority. what was the reaction of the russians? they began to shout that they are indigenous peoples, these comrades who are not our comrades at all , they cannot distinguish the indigenous people who does not have its own state, but has a culture, a language, other indicators of the indigenous people, from representatives of national minorities, etc., so i think that propaganda will continue potentially, but we will avoid it i

in china, next week there will be a meeting not only of the general assembly, but also of the council of europe, which will present a document of peace. everyone wants to unite for the sake of peace, but the question is what kind of peace it will be, and just three of us want to emphasize that when you call on everyone to stop the supply of weapons, we call for it and china and all the countries of the world not to supply russia with weapons, and if someone says that we need to stop helping ukraine , that is, there is a fundamental difference between what mr. blinken said in september at the meeting of the council of europe if russia stops its struggle war top fiat we want to call on china to call on russia to stop with russia it depends on when the war will end but if we are talking about another peace when ukraine should stop its struggle then there will simply be no ukraine as such if there is no ukraine then there will be no place for the un charter, of course for everyone in the whole world, everyone has their own challenges. yes , a lot of challenges appeared just with the beginning of a

parliamentary assembly of the council of europe regarding which and regarding the councils of europeconcluded that it is not worth working on this site now, but uh, the osce is also under the atlantic organization. works here. in particular, the american delegation of the parliamentary assembly and, at the same time, the osce is an organization that is initially recognized in its essence to resolve conflicts. the osce is an organization where, among other things , i repeat, those people who hear us work, therefore, despite the uh character, it is completely not permissible, at some exits, including including parliamentary assemblies. e, we will continue to work, and our dignity. it doesn't hurt. we respond very, very harshly, after which our colleagues they simply have nothing to answer us. they leave the hall, something is there, uh, somewhere in the corner uh, quietly whispers it's honest. uh, not the level of constructive and civilized discussion that we encourage our colleagues, and uh , at the same time, many who are familiar to us from the work of international parliamentary or

already taken the first step in the european parliament and the parliamentary assemblies of the council of europe have adopted resolutions there supporting the creation of a special tribunal. for putin, the next step was to create a prosecutor's office that would investigate the crime of aggression and collect evidence. deputy oleksandr merezhko believes that this stage is easy to complete because all the evidence is on the surface, so a tribunal can be it is necessary to create already this year, not only putin as the supreme commander of the russian federation, but also the rest of the power elite, for example, economic elites who sponsor the introduction of war, as well as employees of the propaganda media, according to international law, three officials of any state are inviolable, the president, the prime minister and minister of foreign affairs, however, this will not prevent them from playing cannot be a defense when it comes to international crimes , including the crime of aggression and the crime of genocide and so on, that is, to consider and investigate this case it is possible now it

by the way, we achieved a lot from the parliament of the council of europe in the early 2000s, closed the so-called chechen ones, then the council of europe turned into the organization socialism of washington we left it, as far as the osce is concerned. the, uh, message that you can and must win first, and then everyone will adjust. yes of course in the west, especially among our enemies and the belts. many respect only strength. but at the same time, parliamentary diplomacy is a good platform for conveying our position to the osce parliamentary assembly. uh, in spite of everything, of course, so to speak, annoying that we are experiencing here. that's all the annoying feelings and emotions, though. this is an international platform where there are sensible people who can be rebuilt from opponents of neutrality to neutrality of supporters and further allies , the methodology is known, therefore we will work. here people need to know the truth is power. in the truth of this, we will continue to work, and at the forefront here are not scandals, but the systematic and consistent work of

as for the council of europe , its leaders see its role in the selection and appointment of judges, assistance in conducting examinations and providing evidence . the troops are trying to attack, relatively speaking, this is vugledar avdiyivka bakhmut and crimea on the first three ukrainian defenses are courageously resisting the mass offensive of the occupiers , but on the liman direction it is the ukrainian counteroffensive that did not break through the frantic resistance of the russians here, the enemy is bringing up reserves and without interruption pressing fire on the entire front line right here the village of yampil is located a few tens of kilometers from the occupied flint, the daily roar of guns here is a constant reminder that the front is close, but what fierce battles took place here, as evidenced by the burnt-out equipment. in september, the armed forces liberated this area of ​​donetsk region, and now our defenders are standing a few kilometers from yampol. they are waiting for a new offensive by the russians, which they are currently predicting. well, go listen to what they a

unleashed the biggest war in europe after the second world war, is becoming more real, concrete solutions finally appeared on the eve of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe supported the resolution on the creation of a special tribunal for the crime of russian aggression with clear requirements for the creation of a court , and this is already the sixth document that calls on the international community to create a mechanism and prosecute criminal the leadership of russia and belarus when it becomes possible and under what conditions natalya kulyk will continue the kremlin one step closer to gaga 11 months of full-scale war and parallel calls on all possible international platforms that putin and his retinue must be punished for all the atrocities committed in ukraine and finally in recently, we have decided , for the first time, clear legal details of the special tribunal over the russian leadership have appeared . putin lukashenka can now be condemned, as lavrov is accused of aggression against ukraine. no international court or previously created tribunal can the international criminal court in the hague cannot consider the case of the crime

without it, if an agreement was reached at the european level, that is , organizations such as the council of europehe european union should also vote for the creation of such a tribunal and start this process instead, we have an already achieved result with the voting of these organizations, they have already decided, while we only hoped and believed that this would be the highest goal and we are now considering the possibility of a postponement consideration of this issue at the un general assembly, and this will take place in the coming weeks, and the question here is what should be . well, first of all, the mandate of such a tribunal has been determined, and i will remind you that today the international final court is actually created by the united nations which considers crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of genocide committed by the russian federation in the course of a large-scale invasion, although here i have another remark, here is our organization, we have submitted seven submissions to the international criminal court until february 24, 2022 with the indication that here are

duma but today we really canceled these cancel the ratification of the agreement related by the council of europeained here march of last year. russia has ceased to be a member of the council of europe and for 11 months we have been working hard to coordinate between various departments. and so it took 11 months of hard work, and finally, we were able to pass our legislation in accordance with the reality that developed 11 months ago, when i politely asked. excuse me, please. a. if now, let's say it reaches someone, well, suddenly there are miracles that it is unprofitable for us in the end, we need to leave the wto and we will also roll 11 months or more. well, it was not said that serious work would be carried out, with such controlling archaisms instead of mechanisms. nothing the warriors win, special military operations too. i'm afraid it will make it very difficult to achieve the intended goals, because, by the way, by the way, when we talk about victory, we confuse words. special operations are the achievement of the set goal, and victories, there are warriors saying, uh, archaisms today, t

vice president of the committee on migration and refugees in the parliamentary assembly of the council of europeeksiy we congratulate you i congratulate you glory to ukraine mr. oleksiy just a couple of minutes ago we talked with our correspondent who is currently in the european parliament in strasbourg , we are talking about tetiana vysotska, yes. well, she informed that there is a powerful debate , in particular, in the case of saakashvili, a citizen of ukraine, the former president of georgia, who actions can literally prove i don't know if specially sent doctors well, you know, you don't want to fantasize in the style , so to speak, of stalin's medicine, but a person can die in a prison in a prison hospital, mr. oleksiy, the prospects for the deployment of rescue rescue mykhailo saakashvili yes, it's very painful to watch, i i will tell you that when mykhailo saakashvili worked in ukraine, i had a very ambiguous attitude towards him and a lot of things that happened here. absolutely does not mean that a person can simply be killed. in fact, he is a citizen of ukraine and georgian authoritie

i had to do this in the council of europe where, uh, a committee was created. was his chairman of the committee on the rights of journalists in the conditions of the crisis, and we raised this topic very much there, which means it makes sense. journalists deserve to be in the army and accordingly. to reflect the reality as it should be, if at the beginning let's say, uh, what we have here is called cargo 200 in america, they still met and somehow bush even gave away the first dead in iraq. uh, due to them there valor and so on, then this case was covered up, saying that it had a very negative impact on public opinion. what concerns our country. well, we tried after all to prevent a storm in the desert and more than once. uh, our representatives went there and negotiated with uh, with adam hussein and so on with her. e, it means our ambassador, e, it is known for a spherical hatch that is not dead kissed, negotiated with him. and primakov met at home as a kusain, but there is also an absolutely obvious provocation , a deliberate provocation by the americans. it's

i mean, you went to the council of europe, you went to brussels, you talked to the americans. nobody was interested. why not? what did they tell you? they were telling, let us not escalate. lay let us find peaceful solution. let us speak with russia as better have negotiations and all the stuff. but you see the lesson is clear, same people, you're talking to almost the same. it's democracy it's. it's not like putting who is the tunnel. these people changes and that good thing about democracy is that we're, that politicians changes and other see the mistakes of their prentice. there's, there's and cannot repeat this mistakes and vengeance from russian fossil fuel. when it was clear, the boot and we'll weaponized it one day. why it was a great mistake, but no sounds to speak about it now. now there is a chance to speak about the lesson, but just that, but just one lesson is the west. have acted in a more concerted way and a tough away. do you think they could have prevented as a little from? absolutely, if there was a chance to stop it in 2040. absolutely. if the free world woul

the council of europe must make a decision on the following decisions by the end of the year, the commissionively working with the ukrainian government, and according to how progress is going, all the steps, of course, all the steps to membership, but when the southern question is seven steps and no more, how do i answer this question and it is very positive to see how professional ukraine is moving forward with high-quality reforms and working on the implementation of these steps itself , for example, this is the adoption of an anti-corruption strategy - this is a new law according to the press all separate steps. these are very important steps. there is still a lot to be done, but it is important to understand that there are no clearly prescribed deadlines. this process just depends on the country of the candidate. how quickly these steps can be achieved , of course, there will be a verbal report in the spring, but the main task is to show what progress there will be in the reforms. well, of course, it will be very important in the fall, a big report on enlargement is our common goal, of c

a complaint about the policy of the zelensky regime to the council of europe was addressed by the europeanman rights to hungary, they accuse kiev of oppression of national minorities , the problem, as the head of the hungarian species petr siyata, at the request of budapest, should take up the venice commission, hungary was supported, romania, but the decision of the commission, as expected to be ready only by june questions about the situation of ethnic hungarians in ukraine has been an island in relations between budapest and kiev for a long time. moreover, a number of measures have recently been taken in ukraine that infringe on the rights of national minorities in general, including the inability to study in their native language. in addition, news often comes that ethnic hungarians are being fired in transcarpathia and the hungarian state flags are being removed. the estonian parliament adopted amendments to the building code and the law on state property, which allows the dismantling of soviet monuments , there were no such legal grounds before, but there are already funds just a wee

also, the judicial century 2022 in march, russia withdrew from the council of europe and in september, from the jurisdiction of the european court of human rights, certain verdicts of this court of the ecthr began to be overtly politicized. true, it was quite a long time ago, but recently , bias, er, partiality, has simply acquired an absolutely unacceptable character, no matter how they are justified for the judiciary. in any case, absolutely unacceptable and yet the decision of the authorities provoked a public discussion, and the consequences of breaking off relations with the esp were raised, but would the withdrawal from the pc not directly entail a decrease in the level of protection of the rights and free citizens of our country. i won't hide. and i always thought about it too. because we have to provide. ensure interests in any case, but in the end, in my opinion , our judicial system, using national judicial mechanisms that can reliably protect them. and for this, the russian judicial system. there are all necessary tools. you need to use all the tools about the mechanisms th

well, just like chechen committees were created around the council of europe. here in the recent past. i myself witnessed them with these posters, and so on there was even my own akhmed zakayev, who appropriated the exclusive role of a diplomat, some ishmael barakash. bay he traveled through the capitals and uh, returning to the caucasus u reported that europe is inclined to support us the british parliament is seriously discussing the possibility of creating an independent state of circassia with the support of london the editorials of the times specify in the caucasus the fate of india is being decided and the highlanders are the last line of defense against russian aggression against the entire civilized world. they pray to the king, they pray to all the old. good england, the land of liberty, give them cannons and skillful artillerymen. if we take this right step. all it will be decided that the bears will not be able to keep the line and the brave highlander will easily teach the scoundrels of hungary to the heart of burma and nepal, the russian devil relen

they showed how preparations are being made for the launch of the second power unit, the council of europe approved the ceiling prices for russian oil products diesel and fuel oil transported by sea. so, 63 russian servicemen returned from ukrainian captivity, as reported in the ministry of defense their release is the result of a complex negotiation process. now everyone is already on the territory of our country , some managed to contact the family by phone ahead of a personal meeting. i want to convey. called up from them, she is waiting for her brother's son. i would like to tell arseniy, hello, a good weekend, they noted that among the released persons there are persons of a sensitive category without any clarification. what does this mean? it is reported that their exchange became possible thanks to the mediation efforts of the leadership of the united iranian emirates attorney general germany, petr frank, said that during the investigation of the sabotage on the nord stream and nord stream two gas pipelines, water and soil samples were taken with the help of two research vessels, as

proposal. of the european union, the european commission, the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe the parliaments of the member states of the european union regarding the need for immediate transfer of the third - president of the republic of georgia, 2004-2013 , citizen of ukraine, mihael mihaela nikolozovich saakashvili, for medical treatment abroad, i propose to include draft resolution 8417 in the agenda of the session , please vote

the law of the ukrainian union, as well as obligations of ukraine within the framework of the council of europe, instead of dealing with competition - competition with competitiveness we are dealing with unnecessary bureaucratic matters , our people are now protecting, including the whole of europe, from this horde and they are in europe can afford the luxury of socialist ideas that are happening, we can’t afford it, we have to turn into an employer’s country. we give the right to this bill to the manager if he thinks to dismiss according to a-a of the labor contract, this is something new that did not exist before, because in large state enterprises we have such appeals include zaporizhzhia atomic energy and motor sich and other enterprises, there are people who work for russia, the head will have the right to fire them, parliamentary thursday became a landmark both in the legislative sphere and in issues between parliamentary diplomacy, the national telethon, the only news continues, the television news service will remind you that today we are working live all night, we understand that today

in my opinion , the council of europe has worked out the fateful values ​​for 20 years.ever imagined that europe could be so so get in. that's the americans. they just got bold. we are obliged to win and we will win, so it will be konstantin panyushkin kirill loginov channel one. the russian military liberated from the nationalists another settlement in the donetsk direction. this is the village of red mountain. it is located not far from artyomovsk, where fierce battles are now taking place , more than 150 ukrainian militants have been destroyed in a day. in the donetsk direction, the artillery of the group of forces inflicted fire damage on accumulations of manpower of military equipment of the armed forces of ukraine in the areas of settlements, prechistovka and coal fire of the donetsk people's republic, more than 60 ukrainian military personnel were destroyed in this direction in a day in this direction, three armored combat vehicles, four pickup trucks, however, a d-20 and two howitzers-30 were killed in the kherson direction as part of a counter-battery fight duri

among politicians, there is such enormous support for ukraine on the sidelines of the european council of europe, some unofficially, of course, some diplomats said that, unfortunately, the support is not enough and that europe can support more, but at the moment everyone sees that europe is doing more and more and more and more understands that ukraine, uh, ukraine defends, defends , european values, the european world, that's why ukraine is currently on the uh, on the uh, everyone is talking about her, this issue of ukraine is very relevant at the moment, eh , tatyana, well, a promise to help in the counter-offensive - this is the main thesis that is currently being discussed , as well as the tank coalition . what else can we include in the results of today's meeting? it is possible that what was left out of the picture is less public but important . this is the 1st meeting in this format and it shows us that ukraine is constantly uh, the issue of ukraine is constantly being discussed and it is always on time uh, so it is difficult to add something. thank you tatiana for inclusion in the live b

accordingly, there were meetings of ministers of the council of europe. l, let's not forget, of course, from somewhere approximately from the 20th to the 20th of february, the planned visit of the us president biden to poland, that is, of course, we see what is going on in relation to exactly february 23-24, as the anniversary of the attack of the terrorist state by the russian federation on ukraine, there is such a concentration of mine on not simply, even nominally related or legally diplomatically related to ukraine, relevant decisions , resolutions, but ideas, a concentration of more decisive actions, if you ask in a military context, what can happen, let's say yes, on the anniversary, how decisive is the civilized answer education i don't know, but i am deeply convinced that uh, i would certainly not mind if we responded decisively to the aggressor state in the next uh, so to speak, military plan, including in addition to a diplomatic response in addition to thank you , oleksiy boryachenko, candidate of political sciences , was with us during the curf
