that is, it is the same tactics again pavlo well, we drew conclusions from the prague spring or not howere the protests in the soviet union, and if we take modern russia, it seems to me that now there is not even a protest movement that existed in the soviet union in 1968, with all the strength of the soviet regime at that time, who wants any protests then? now it's completely silent. i think it's possible to compare now and then, please, something can be compared, let's say , there was a very loud demonstration in moscow at pushkin square. if i'm not mistaken, there was natalia gorbanevska and others, the resonance of this this exit to the square was very powerful, er, all the radio stations were talking about it, er, songs were being created . you can go to the square, you dare to go to the square. you know, it was an ethical explosion of ethical potential at that time . among russian dissidents, i cannot say that there are no protests in russia today they were even individual, because now it is generally impossible to have any group protests. they were individual. so i don't want to

1968 , the troops of the five countries of the warsaw pact invaded czechoslovakia to suppress the prague spring . union and its allies of poland, east germany , bulgaria and hungary invaded czechoslovakia with the aim of suppressing the democratic transformations initiated by the local party leader oleksandr dubczyk, in a few hours the country was occupied in street protests began in prague and other cities for several days in the czech republic, they tried to fight the invaders as hard as they could, threw stones , molotov cocktails with sticks and even fists, soviet soldiers used weapons, according to the estimates of czech historians, up to 130 citizens died, more than half a thousand were injured, the invasion forced the leadership of czechoslovakia to curtail the reforms of the prague spring was suppressed, the occupying soviet troops remained in the country until 1991, first president yeltsin and then putin asked the czechs and slovaks apologies for the self-incrimination, however, after 2014, moscow's position changed dramatically, now the propaganda machine tells that there was n

in a few hours, the country was occupied in prague and other cities. street protests began for several days in the czech republic. they tried to fight the invaders as best they could, throwing stones , molotov cocktails, sticks and even fists, soviet soldiers used weapons, according to czech historians, up to 130 citizens died, more than half a thousand were wounded, the invasion was forced by the leadership czechoslovakia curb the reforms prague spring was suppressed by the occupation soviet troops remained in ukraine until 1991, first president yeltsin and then putin asked the czechs and slovaks for forgiveness for the invasion, but after 2014, moscow's position changed dramatically, now the propaganda machine tells that there was nothing else in the ussr the exit operation was allegedly almost bloodless, and the occupation went in general, whether words are useful or not, it is very important in this difficult time to be aware of what is happening, we tell news and we help to understand the events, however, the war can make its corrections in case t

let's talk about prague winter. you were 59 years old just being sworn in when you learned that your parents had been born jewish and that some of members of your family had been killed in the holocaust. you answered a lot of questions you dealt with it. it was a painful period what made you go back to it and write a whole book on the subject? well, because i didn't think i had all the answers and and let me just explain a little bit of the context of how this happened when i was ambassador at the united nations was when people started writing me letters. i hadn't really been a public figure till then and some of the people asked for money or visas and then there were letters that would say something about the village that my parents were born in or dates, but everything was wrong in them there never was a letter that had all the facts and i mean somebody saying that they'd gone to high school with my father in 1915, which would have been impossible because he was born in 1909, but in november 96 when i was being ve

prague, where they also collect money to help the armed forces of ukraine and, er, the same for those need it, in particular, refugees. well, for the sake of context, i will note that you have already said that people transfer money to the account of the special fund of the embassy of ukraine in the czech republic, these are 1968 kroner, and according to the latest data i received from the embassy of ukraine in the czech republic, since friday, when people started sending money, more than 5,000 people have already sent this amount and already tomorrow. i hope we will find out how much money was actually collected . let me remind you that in 1968 before that, the so-called prague spring took place in czechoslovakia. let's say that the liberals of this time, one of the communist wings of czechoslovakia, decided to go the democratic way, to open free media, etc. it can't be, and they actually decided to stop it militarily, and on august 21, the troops of the warsaw pact countries added that poland, east germany, hungary, the ussr invaded the territory of the czech republic, and actually,

i greet you from prague., today there were indeed several official er ceremonies and laying of flowers when people remembered the er dead and there were in particular civilians and soldiers who died during the invasion of the countries of the so-called warsaw pact . in 1968 however, in addition to this, in addition to the czech promotions , there were also promotions dedicated to ukraine, one of them took place right here near the charles bridge, er, this is one of the most popular, let's say a month in prague, and there, er, so they organized an event for such symbolic wooden crosses that were painted in yellow-blue colors in the colors of the flag of ukraine, they attached signs with the names of companies and firms of the western company that still cooperate with the russian federation, according to the organizers of the action. in this way, they wanted to draw the attention of people and the european public to the fact that in fact, these companies have been cooperating with russia for almost six months o

by the minister of foreign affairs of the european union and the minister of defense today in praguend the head of european diplomacy. well and german chancellor olafsholz also came and he gave such a key speech at charles university in prague, where he outlined, so to speak, the future vision of europe, a united europe, and what ukraine will benefit from this as well it is very interesting to draw conclusions, he also talked a lot about ukraine. well, as for europe, he said that he made it clear to the correctional officers that charles university is one of the oldest universities in central eastern europe. he said that the center of gravity of the center of gravity in the european union is shifting to the east he supported the candidate status and membership of the future in the european union as a condition for ukraine and possibly georgia, as well as for the six countries of the western balkans, which, according to him, should be accepted into the european union. well, albania and bosnia and kosovo and north macedonia and montenegro and serbia, i.e. six countries of the western b

, well actually the result of today in prague is only that the ministers have gathered. and these are first of all the ministers of defense who are starting their meetings tonight, tomorrow is their main day and tomorrow the ministers of foreign affairs of the european union are also starting their meetings. the russian war in ukraine was determined there in advance and how in europe to respond to this situation, to the war, as well as to the threat to the european countries, today also in prague the leader of the largest country spoke of the european union, the largest economy, chancellor olafsholtz expressed his vision of europe and, in particular , of security in europe. in the future and possible for our territory, for the ukrainian-speaking audience, the most interesting thing is that he stated that he sees europe as a bigger european union, he sees ukraine, in particular, in this european union, which will have 30 possible 36 states, as he said, for this, it is necessary to change the european union, he said, and in particular to strengthen security at this stage a

that's d w alexandra phenomena in prague. ok, let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. international aid has begun reaching pakistan as the military and volunteers tried to evacuate tens of thousands of floods. victims, unusually heavy monsoon rains of triggered flash floods across the country, claiming the lives of more than a 1000 people. this summer the u. s. navy says to of its war ships sailed through the taiwan strait. this is the 1st such show of force since the recent escalation of tensions between china and us back to taiwan. the self ruled island is under constant threat from milan, china, which says it could use military action to bring taiwan under its control. brazil's main presidential candidates, and se stuff in the 1st televised debate ahead of the general election in october incumbent both and used his once jailed rival president, louisa nascar, and the scene of corruption lula who is leading in charge, that both scenario was destroying the country. so now the u. s. sp

here and then, that is, the scenario of the 1968 year , russian soviet tanks in prague. is all an idea to the czechs. this war resonates very, very much in the czech soul, so to speak. in the czech memory, this war of russia against ukraine is current resembles vs of soviet suppression, here is the soviet dictatorship that was imposed here in the second half of the century, so that, in principle, the czech republic is very solidarity with ukraine well, the russians should have drawn conclusions from this to somehow distance themselves from putin. continue to monitor the form of democracy in prague well, ukrainians are actually even more into this word or not, why? because i keep this one in my head, you know vaclav havel and that's how czechoslovakia was sometimes a talker by the way, he was until the end of his life the opponent of the fact that the two countries of slovakia and the czech republic have diverged, very, very close peoples, close languages, close cultures, the founder of the relevant in slovakia was a slovak and was familiar with ivan frank or his birthday

he, moreover, and all that from al, corresponded in prague in a moment. but 1st, let's take a look at some of the latest military aid that ukraine is sent to receive. ukraine's ammunition supply is about to get a boost. it's howard sir. artillery units will be stocked with a new toggle shell called the volcano german. he says it's sending several 100. we'll canaan munitions to the front line. the gps and laser guided missiles reach up to 80 kilometers, almost doubling the range of most how it says already existing donated equipment is having an impact. hope so rascal, and it never showings on slo vianza every day, but, but due to new weapons that were perceived from the west to particularly high mars and houses, our chances have equalized. that's where you see that before one of our shots was answered with 50 shots from them myself, we'll leave it today. the ratio is $1.00 to $4.00 or $1.00 to $5.00 frequency. they didn't look at the this, but in that you did. okay. ah, hi mars are the us supplied long range mobile rocket launches, which of allowed ukrain

hungary never ceases to amaze . in the foreign policy shop from other countries, there is one in prague who intends to ask them to do everything so that the war in ukraine finally ends, while he did not call this war a russian one, according to him, the european union should now stop taking steps that could introduce before escalation, instead focus on establishing peace, because according to him, the consequences of war could be even more tragic for the world in general and europe in particular. mateusz moravetskyi while in france well, and in particular after meeting with the country's president manuel macron, according to the prime minister, those countries that want to end the war diplomatically can quarrel with those that want victory ukraine is in an aggressive russian war, which is why, according to the head of the polish government, it is so important to continue the dialogue between these parties and try to find compromises and a common denominator. well, you see two countries, hungary and poland, but it seemed that they were separated by a few kilometers. but in one country, t

everything and not about what would be better, i would not even say about the main thing today in prague at the meeting of the heads of the foreign affairs departments of the eu member states, there was no consensus as in the end and always. the idea of ​​introducing and terminating the agreement on the simplified visa procedure for russia , that is, now it will be much more difficult and longer for them to open schengen visas, but unfortunately they did not agree on a unified ban on entry to the territory of the european union, it's a pity, because it would be very, very necessary. well, what was said before the start of this meeting, now i will tell the russians that it is necessary to ban entry into the territory of the member states of the european union, about this today, before the start of the meeting of the european ministers, the head of the foreign policy department said estonia's urvas rein salon, in his opinion, his country, together with other eu members, can do this on its own in accordance with the principle of ensuring its own national security, but mr. reysol did not spe

well, in prague, the capital of the czech republic , meanwhile, the meeting of the ministers of foreignairs of the european union countries is taking part, and the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, is talking about the proposal to ban the issuance of tourist visas for citizens of russia due to moscow's aggression, the discussions are monitored by the international columnist of radio svoboda rostyslav khotin rostyslav my greetings , we are waiting for details from you who for who against why the visa policy of the european union towards russia against the background of moscow's aggression against ukraine can destroy the unity of the european union, currently there is no consensus on a complete visa ban for russian citizens, there is no position of the baltic states, the scandinavian countries, poland, the czech republic, the netherlands, they filled out the visa ban, and opponents portugal, italy, greece, cyprus, hungary , however, are the biggest argument there is a position of germany and france against a complete ban on manure; a joint document before the summit w

today in prague, an unofficial summit of the eu foreign ministers will continue to discuss, as on the eve, they mainly plan anti-russian sanctions, which, however, hit europe itself more, especially on the eve of the coming winter, some of them are asked to be canceled at all, otherwise their cold will not survive dear klyzhenko, the theme will continue. light heat is not only becoming too expensive for europeans, but also scarce, the inhabitants of france are already being urged to prepare for the worst-case scenario, which will definitely happen if winter in europe turns out again . harsh power is not even hidden by electricity. in any case, there will be interruptions out of fifty nuclear reactors, only 32 are operating. so france is ready to introduce strict consumption rules up to the shutdown of enterprises, absorbing hours of load and punitive electricity tariffs for those who will spend it in excess. russia uses gas as a weapon, we must prepare for the worst-case scenario, that is, for the complete cessation of russian gas supplies, if we organize to reduce gas electricity con

at prague will host informal meetings.the heads of the ministry of defense and the foreign ministry of the eu country one of the most scandalous topics is the ban on the issuance of schengen visas to russians, so the issue of unity in the eu is not yet shared by everyone, especially in western europe. in addition, such a launch of a training mission for the ukrainian military is expected it will be located not on the territory of ukraine, but in one of the neighboring countries emil mirsaev to conduct. in the hospital of the kherson region, another 18,100 medical supplies and equipment were brought from as part of the humanitarian cargo, saline glucose, an antiviral drug and other medicines, are regularly delivered to russia by russian military community members and volunteers, so one of the children's hospitals in kherson received recirculators for air purification and a special blood pressure monitor for newborns. what can i say many thanks for the help, first of all, to the residents of the city of skadovsk , skadovsky

that's d w alexander phenomena in prague. okay, let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. baghdad authorities have announced a curfew now that's following an announcement by influential iraqi cleric looked at al serra that he is quitting politics. i'll sat as followers have held weeks of protests calling for reform, and their leaders move has sparked fears of unrest. iraq has had no president or prime minister since elections were held last october. 6 the u. s. navy says 2 of its warships have sailed through the taiwan strait. it's the 1st such so show of, for since a recent escalation of tensions between china and us back ty, one, the self ruled island is under constant threat from mainland china, which says that could use military action to bring tie one on the control. now tens of millions of people are facing destitution in pakistan as the country struggles to cope with the worst monsoon floods in a decade. authority said, the catastrophe is the result of climate change caused by th

in prague, however, there are differences in 1944 , the liberation committee.f the reichswehr ss heinrich hiebler. the current forum is actively lobbied by the us curator half the experienced expert on the ethnic issue of the soviet union and russia, an employee in different years. the cia of the state department and the carnegie endowment, the very idea of ​​​​such a forum was born in the bowels of the us government commission on security and cooperation in europe, which closely cooperates with the us national endowment for democracy, the latter, as you know, since its foundation in 1983, financed color revolutions in poland, czechoslovakia, serbia, then is located directly at the borders of russia. by the way, the same background played a significant role in financing the ukrainian maidan in 2014. i am convinced that we are witnessing the demise of the last great land empire in the world for about now. 20 years i believe 1917 caused russia to lose a significant part of the empire in 1991 led to new well-known losses. i believe that future events will lead to

many weapons that now we need to fill our own arsenals eu foreign minister today for a meeting in praguekely will be able to agree on a complete ban on the issuance of visas to russian citizens, according to the politi publication. referring to an unnamed diplomatic source, well, the publication predicts that the maximum that ardent opponents of moscow can hope for is that the process of obtaining visas for russians will become longer and more expensive against a total visa ban in germany and france. well , here's how the discussion dmitry peskov, press secretary of the president, commented on this topic unfortunately, brussels is also a separate european capital demonstrate an absolute lack of reason, to our regret, this also applies to such anti-russian ones. uh, gusts in gusts of just hatred for our country. you are absolutely irrational and even absurd actions in terms of energy. that is, this is a set of irrationality limited to madness, of course. uh, to. unfortunately , it admits the possibility that such a decision can be discussed, we will observe very carefully. this is a very
