austria has changed a lot, changed to ours , next to me i have to speak quietly of the famous german henrikged. he argues there with er, actually, with the former minister of internal affairs , er, back in the days of schlodar, and the actual controversy is that he says that we are germans, well, obviously, this applies to europe in general, western europe, we got used to it, we changed our own slogan, the post-war slogan that never again to such a mantra that we will never allow a big war again. they forgot that it was a slogan that e had in mind. we will never deal with the scum. but a lot at home energy trade relations with russia were being built all these decades. and this is this realization, it is obvious that it is coming now, we hope so much for this, we sometimes do not fully understand the nature of this pacifism, for example, german or european, sometimes it seems to us that there must be some kind of the hand of the kremlin that all the elites are bought, isn't that a little naive , shallow view, we can do this from our own bell tower, as we are used to evaluating our politicia

two or three weeks ago, in poland, such an opinion was published by henrike bochnyas and matchi wittutskyhat poland can be a good mentor for ukraine, not a teacher who would help to go faster and with fewer mistakes to the european union. do you share that opinion? how could poland become such a mentor, even though it is such an important mentor? i don't think that we could be a mentor for ukraine. we can only go together i still think that you can teach us how to fight in the war, we can help you or be a lawyer for your interests in the eu and so on, but i think that we should just be like brothers and sisters and never otherwise have our fault before ukraine, ukrainians also have different experiences in relation to poland, but let's leave it to the historians. and instead, we don't think about who is more important or bigger, because the important thing is that we are together, and whether it's nato or the eu or war or peace, let it always be like that. about the revolution or something i will try a revolution in belarus. in your opinion, can lukashenko still agree and join putin's war

negotiations, that's what we were saying they were not like that, and he is actually polynesian with him, henrikr is also a very well-known german publicist , and they are actually friends, and he says that in fact this is not a discussion between some vile people, pragmatists, and people who really want to help ukraine. in fact, this is a discussion between idealists and realists and idealists - this is such nonsense - these are people who are afraid to even imagine that germany, which was hitler's homeland, which gave rise to nazism and the dualism of war, can return to some octogenarian attitudes and they are afraid they say that the military mood in society is growing, it scares them, and heinrich broder actually says that what really happened was the post-war slogan in germany, which is now well known in ukraine, never again, now everyone interprets it as we will never go to war again, he says, but from the very beginning and we must return it to the original meaning of this slogan we will never deal with scoundrels again this is what this slogan traitor and eh merkel and the consequences w
