Hello everyone, the next episode of the
00:00:01
Life bytas program is on air. Today my
00:00:03
guest is one of the best military experts I
00:00:05
know, Alexey Aristovich Alexey.
00:00:08
Good afternoon, good to see good de Yes,
00:00:12
good view outside the window, good mood, I
00:00:16
see, I’m glad to see. Haven’t talked for a long time;
00:00:19
questions, to be honest, a lot Alexey,
00:00:22
a lot of things changed in our last
00:00:24
meeting that we had last
00:00:26
year, we then talked about a counter-
00:00:30
offensive, we even assumed that even you
00:00:32
said that a counter-offensive does not
00:00:33
mean in a modern war, it does not mean that
00:00:35
it has been announced, it is starting, it is already
00:00:40
But there is a lot of water a lot of
00:00:44
have changed since then, but at the beginning of the program
00:00:47
I would, of course, like to first clarify
00:00:50
the situation in general that has developed at
00:00:55
moment, today information is being received to the VCU, it seems that they are
00:01:00
handing over or there are quite
00:01:03
intense military operations going on there, I would like to
00:01:05
just at the beginning of the program a
00:01:07
little bit about operational situation, what is
00:01:09
happening now on the front line on the
00:01:11
line of contact between the troops, now the
00:01:14
pendulum has swung in the other direction for a long
00:01:16
time, we were advancing, we talked last time
00:01:18
when the counter-offensive was
00:01:20
just beginning on June 4, it began
00:01:23
formally, but it was not announced, and
00:01:26
today, more than six months later, the phase is
00:01:29
already fa the offensive
00:01:30
belongs to the Russian Federation, that
00:01:33
is, we have exhausted our capabilities
00:01:34
to advance; we have stopped. As often happens in
00:01:35
military affairs,
00:01:38
they went on the defensive from October 4, approximately they
00:01:40
began to attack in different sectors, the front is
00:01:42
1300 km internal; the
00:01:45
hottest sections are the
00:01:48
Kupinsky Vka, of course, south of
00:01:51
Novomikhailovka And here is rabotino this is already
00:01:53
where we were advancing, the Russians are counter-
00:01:55
attacking, according to some data, they have already
00:01:57
taken work that requires clarification
00:01:59
and have prepared a serious group
00:02:02
that should go further to advance,
00:02:04
such groups are everywhere,
00:02:08
including Avdiivka, including
00:02:12
Kupinsky, hundreds of armored vehicles,
00:02:14
artillery tanks, and so on, they
00:02:17
prepared well and used the time
00:02:18
which was almost 9 months before the counter-offensive
00:02:20
and the time for the counter-offensive
00:02:23
in order to form reserves
00:02:25
that were now thrown into battle and due to
00:02:27
numerical superiority. And often Cast
00:02:30
superiority because
00:02:31
their quantity is also quality and
00:02:35
when Well, you have one shell there against
00:02:38
20 shells against one of your
00:02:41
opponents understands that the quality of everything that is
00:02:43
happening is changing. Ukrainians,
00:02:46
accordingly, we are in a phase where we have
00:02:48
been sitting for several months without Western
00:02:50
assistance, in particular without American assistance, we have a
00:02:52
catastrophic shortage of shells and
00:02:57
other mediums, which certainly affects the
00:03:00
conduct of hostilities. We have returned
00:03:02
to the phase in which we were in April, May,
00:03:04
June and even July of the 2nd year
00:03:09
when we spent almost all the weapons and
00:03:12
ammunition to stop the
00:03:13
Russian army from being defeated in the first month.
00:03:15
And then when it gathered its forces, found
00:03:17
reserves and went on the offensive, since the
00:03:21
beginning of April we were practically without missiles
00:03:25
troops and there were episodes when,
00:03:27
during the battle for the village, for example,
00:03:29
along the whole front, along the
00:03:32
front as a whole, they fired 60,000 shells per day,
00:03:35
we responded with three, at best,
00:03:37
using some kind of NZ There and so on,
00:03:40
now the situation is approximately
00:03:42
60,000 They, of course they don’t release, but
00:03:44
they release 20 completely. And we
00:03:47
release. Well, maybe there are very
00:03:51
few, I won’t name the numbers because well,
00:03:53
many times more than should be called. Yes, no
00:03:56
need, we have a catastrophic situation, we
00:03:58
don’t have enough shells and, as always, we pay
00:04:01
for all the infantry with our own blood,
00:04:02
directly stopping enemy
00:04:05
The only thing that has changed and from our
00:04:07
Russian side there are a lot of
00:04:09
Drones, including fpv Drones of the so-
00:04:11
called this is almost 90% of the battle of
00:04:15
collisions if it is not a city or nearby
00:04:17
in the field this is a war Drones equipment does not
00:04:20
have time to reach the front line people
00:04:22
do not have time to reach or if they have time, then it’s
00:04:23
all the same and precedes the drones; they
00:04:25
accompany the drones and fight off the drones;
00:04:28
some clashes look like this; drones from the
00:04:30
Russian side are on our
00:04:32
stronghold; drones from our side
00:04:34
may not reach the shooting battle; they’re all howling with drones; and so the
00:04:37
drones are what allows us to restrain
00:04:38
the Russians. Because if there was a situation
00:04:42
without Drones now with so many
00:04:44
shells and everything else that
00:04:46
we have, or rather which we don’t have. It must be
00:04:49
said correctly, the situation would be
00:04:51
much worse now Avdeevka
00:04:55
was started to be stormed somewhere almost a
00:04:59
month ago before the Russians
00:05:01
troops have been accumulating for a long time, this is a
00:05:03
fairly fortified point, since the
00:05:05
fourteenth year it has represented the most
00:05:06
likely fortified point on our entire
00:05:09
front, a serious defense center is a
00:05:11
system of defense nodes, and here they are
00:05:13
now, that is, they are fighting with
00:05:18
ammunition and food stored or captured from the enemy. There and so
00:05:20
on and so forth then one of
00:05:22
our best assault brigs, the third
00:05:25
assault brig, was introduced there - these are former Azov
00:05:27
mobilized ones, which Azov selected
00:05:29
themselves, trained and so on, its commander
00:05:31
Colonel Andrei Beletsky,
00:05:33
they are guys who know how to fight, let’s
00:05:36
say so But even for them it’s hard to contain
00:05:40
the situation because well, there are
00:05:41
about seven Russians against them brigades there are
00:05:44
much smaller than ours Well,
00:05:47
the numbers there are higher yes Well of
00:05:49
course numerical superiority has been created In addition,
00:05:51
the Russians are very actively
00:05:52
using guided bombs And in general the
00:05:54
Avdievka bombs are closer to Donetsk, they did not
00:05:58
front line, the plane from Donetsk is
00:06:00
dropping bombs and I I’ve just been to Avdeevka many times
00:06:03
so that you understand that this is a very
00:06:05
small tiny city, strong, and
00:06:08
now so many of these Bombs and artillery
00:06:09
are flying into it, into the plant, into the entire defense center, that well,
00:06:16
you can be three times a
00:06:19
professional, but it doesn’t matter whether it’s a bomb or a
00:06:22
shell how much with how much are you
00:06:29
all Therefore, there is a difficult situation there in the
00:06:33
morning information there the situation
00:06:35
changes quickly by the hour in the morning there is
00:06:37
information when you and I write down
00:06:38
that we left the Zenit position which
00:06:40
was to the south If you saw a diagram like this
00:06:41
it was almost engulfed by the enemy
00:06:44
second Yes, a distant position we are starting to
00:06:46
retreat from some positions that
00:06:52
were as far as possible from the exit from the corridor and now the task is to hold the knots,
00:06:56
or rather to hold the exit point so that the
00:07:00
We are fighting to hold or even
00:07:03
expand the corridor, mainly to
00:07:04
hold so that the troops can
00:07:06
leave unhindered, whether a decision has been made is
00:07:07
unknown but the withdrawal has begun. By the
00:07:09
time we speak, everything may already be
00:07:12
over because there is a very
00:07:14
small area, a city much smaller than
00:07:15
Bakhmut, for example, and incomparable,
00:07:20
and Well, everything can already happen by the time the recording comes out, it will be
00:07:30
audience will watch from the future,
00:07:32
ours, they will already know how it
00:07:34
ended It’s clear And in the other
00:07:37
direction, what’s
00:07:39
happening is that they’re pressing very hard near
00:07:41
Novo Mikhailovka, it’s not
00:07:45
that far south of Avdeevka in order to cut off the
00:07:47
so-called Ugledarsky ledge and
00:07:50
move forward, that is, the general
00:07:51
plan is that they’re moving in the direction of
00:07:54
Pokrovsk. This corresponds to the political
00:07:57
tasks set by the Russian Federation.
00:07:59
which says that their task is to liberate liberate
00:08:02
in quotes to seize for us the
00:08:05
Donetsk and Lugansk regions completely
00:08:08
completely within the administrative borders along the
00:08:11
administrative borders the same
00:08:13
Zaporozhye but also Kherson Kherson
00:08:14
is difficult because the Kherson part is on the
00:08:16
right bank high they cannot take
00:08:18
krynki a village that will hold a
00:08:19
small number of ours sang, but due to the fact
00:08:21
that we are on the low
00:08:24
coast of Russia, the Russians are storming
00:08:26
our artillery and drones on the high Yeah,
00:08:29
we see and very well help our
00:08:32
fighters who are there directly on the
00:08:34
bridgehead and unsuccessful assaults have been going on
00:08:36
for several months in a row with very
00:08:38
large losses for Russia in general, they
00:08:40
don’t take losses into account, they are now pushing
00:08:42
forward just in a very characteristic
00:08:45
manner, the same thing under Kupinsky there is a
00:08:47
very serious group, according to the data
00:08:49
which was called there, several hundred
00:08:51
tanks, armored vehicles, several hundred up to 40
00:08:54
personnel. They are actively pressing, they
00:08:56
want to capture Pinsk, this is large There is a
00:09:05
also actually a transition to the other side of the
00:09:09
river, Old Askol,
00:09:11
for our creation of conditions to
00:09:13
develop the offensive there already in place on the
00:09:19
so for them it is very profitable, they
00:09:21
do everything to get in by attacking the two
00:09:28
main ones, or rather Bakhmut, north- east of
00:09:30
Bakhmut And there from Lisichansk from
00:09:32
Severodonetsk I want to cut off this ledge
00:09:35
So that is, four somewhere main
00:09:38
points of application of efforts,
00:09:40
serious groups have been created everywhere that
00:09:42
represent, well, several
00:09:45
Russian armies in total Clearly, two
00:09:49
armies somewhere, two somewhere in the direction
00:09:51
plus -minus, this is all very conditional. Well,
00:09:52
in this very general overview, somewhere
00:09:54
like this it turns out that these are serious forces and it is
00:09:56
difficult to resist them, especially without
00:09:58
American help, the key to the situation
00:10:00
is the lack of American help, the
00:10:02
lack of the required amount of
00:10:03
ammunition, missiles and others, and so far there
00:10:06
they are going into battle, we are losing sections of the front
00:10:09
and are standing in very difficult conditions.
00:10:11
Our troops are in very difficult conditions and this
00:10:14
just begs the question. Last
00:10:20
arrived. Well, in principle, I was already expecting the
00:10:22
expected message that Valery
00:10:25
Zaluzhny is leaving the post of commander and will take
00:10:28
his place Alexander Syrsky arrives
00:10:32
and at the same time this happens at the moment
00:10:35
when the Russian troops are essentially advancing.
00:10:37
At such a moment a
00:10:40
change occurs, although I’m
00:10:42
already saying it now, they call it
00:10:45
expected, how logical was this
00:10:48
change and how much of the same is there?
00:10:51
still an old saying at the
00:10:53
crossing they don’t change horses at all
00:10:55
it’s like changing command in a dangerous time
00:10:58
how justified it is And
00:11:01
in general What is the strategy of the Ukrainian
00:11:04
troops at the moment what is being done
00:11:08
What is the idea What to do next look at the
00:11:12
ideological or strategic
00:11:13
conflict between the commander-in-chief and the
00:11:16
supreme commander We have had it for a long time,
00:11:17
it was materially identified at
00:11:19
the material level, visibly conclusively on
00:11:22
November 1, 2003, when Zaluzhny
00:11:24
published his famous article in the economist
00:11:26
and said that the
00:11:27
offensive was over, our counteroffensive
00:11:30
was unsuccessful due to the
00:11:32
technical impasse and the parity of the parties that
00:11:34
arose on the front line. Following the example of the
00:11:36
First Worldwide when everyone
00:11:38
fights courageously but no one can advance
00:11:40
because there are no means of advancement
00:11:41
that allow them to overcome the deep
00:11:43
defense created by the enemy, yeah,
00:11:46
Zelensky categorically disagreed with this,
00:11:47
they got into such public
00:11:49
debates, even polemicize in absentia [
00:11:55
the opportunity to talk directly all this
00:11:57
lasted for some time where -at the
00:11:59
beginning of December, that is, a month It took the
00:12:01
Supreme Commander-in-Chief the President
00:12:03
to say Well, okay, we are
00:12:05
on the defensive Yes, this really
00:12:07
means that and for a month we lived in a situation
00:12:10
where we did not agree on the positions of the one
00:12:12
who commands the army and the one who
00:12:14
commands the one who commands the army this is
00:12:16
not normal and cannot continue for a long time in an
00:12:17
obviously obvious way. It
00:12:20
seems to me that there was still a fundamental
00:12:24
discrepancy in the further strategy of
00:12:25
waging war, confirmation of this is that
00:12:28
one Flock is laid down, which he
00:12:30
published before leaving and where he directly
00:12:33
said that the army will do its job
00:12:35
only if the state provides it in
00:12:37
terms of material and in terms of
00:12:39
people, the key for us was that
00:12:41
this conflict resulted
00:12:44
in the need to mobilize
00:12:46
500,000 people, half a million of
00:12:48
which was announced. And even
00:12:50
about it, the discussion was very difficult
00:12:53
because Zaluzhny was released for a
00:12:56
press conference and ordered to go at the
00:12:58
last moment then he carried it out
00:13:01
very honorably, then Zelensky,
00:13:04
who first pushed him out, then
00:13:06
began to take over the communication himself, for
00:13:08
which, by the way, honor and praise to him because
00:13:10
the president should not run away from
00:13:11
responsibility. But the point is,
00:13:15
this is what the possibilities for
00:13:16
mobilization are that we desperately need
00:13:18
limited primarily financially
00:13:20
yesterday, the Hetmans, the Chairman of the
00:13:22
Verkhovna Rada Committee on Taxes and Duties, he
00:13:24
said that tax policy, he said
00:13:29
for the mobilization of 5 people who have
00:13:32
absolutely nowhere to take, given the still
00:13:34
lack of American assistance, that’s
00:13:37
the state of our military economy and
00:13:39
announced not even popular solution
00:13:41
But the question in the World Cup Zelensky named a figure
00:13:42
at a press conference: one mobilized
00:13:44
soldier is a million Green to
00:13:46
put him in line, put on shoes, and so
00:13:49
Ukraine is now undergoing a very
00:13:52
serious exam, an exam that will
00:13:57
perhaps part of the territory, an exam for
00:14:00
statehood, a solvency test,
00:14:01
which is that it is necessary to
00:14:02
mobilize several hundred
00:14:04
thousand people somewhere, take them and mobilize them, but for
00:14:06
this there is neither finance nor organizational
00:14:08
capacity, there is no possibility even of
00:14:10
high-quality training in training
00:14:11
centers because their capacity is
00:14:12
significantly less than even 50,000 at a
00:14:15
time, and besides, they are under fire
00:14:17
are located, that is, the accumulation of troops and
00:14:19
training. This is a constant threat of Russian
00:14:21
strikes, this is a very difficult situation. For
00:14:24
comparison, I can say that all the training
00:14:26
centers of the UGM of Russia
00:14:29
and all of Russia, yes. Or 300, this must be
00:14:34
taught somewhere else. That is, it is too long to
00:14:37
fight. This is very long story and
00:14:41
Apparently they did not agree with the president. They did
00:14:45
not agree on numbers or on the understanding of
00:14:47
where and how to use these troops. The
00:14:49
official political slogan of the
00:14:50
president remains the border de year everything is
00:14:54
red Toms he understands that they are
00:14:57
not in principle because for this you need to come
00:15:00
from then take 1,700 troops that
00:15:03
will be armed with
00:15:04
first-class will not end in the
00:15:06
next 2 years first-class is like the
00:15:08
American Army Then we can
00:15:10
talk about the borders of the first of the year which,
00:15:12
in principle, is not expected, and this
00:15:14
same slogan is not removed, it
00:15:16
gives rise to such
00:15:18
a little schizophrenic state in society When everyone
00:15:22
the army, everyone without exception, everyone has
00:15:26
dead wounded friends, they
00:15:27
understand perfectly well that the princes of the year are out of the
00:15:29
question, but it is officially
00:15:31
declared that we Wow, Victory is the way out,
00:15:33
so the Tsar gave an interview as but
00:15:35
appointed and said that the war must
00:15:36
end within the borders of the ninety-first
00:15:38
year, then it will end, this is a very
00:15:40
strange thesis because no one
00:15:42
guarantees that it will end even
00:15:43
after reaching the borders of Dejanovo,
00:15:46
the war has a sum of contradictions
00:15:47
that does not concern the borders, but is
00:15:50
much larger and wider
00:15:53
and has been shot down. our optics and rhetoric are confused,
00:15:56
that is, people understand perfectly well
00:15:59
that what the military and the
00:16:02
highest civilian authorities are saying now does not
00:16:03
correspond to the real situation,
00:16:05
their mood is not added to the desire for
00:16:13
sense, Yes, and as you understand, the lack of
00:16:15
help does not add it, in general, we are
00:16:17
going through, as the Western press writes,
00:16:19
through a severe internal
00:16:20
political crisis, and so on. I think that
00:16:22
Zaluzhny. I don’t know this, but I think this is
00:16:24
my guess that Zaluzhny
00:16:26
fundamentally disagreed on
00:16:29
Well, here you can understand Zelensky,
00:16:31
well, how to work with a person who
00:16:34
doesn’t listen to you, as it were, and
00:16:37
whose friend has a different strategy and
00:16:39
who would like to pursue a fundamentally different
00:16:42
war policy, as it were, and logic,
00:16:45
but he fires him and appoints a person
00:16:46
who will to carry out his orders,
00:16:48
at the same time, a whole clan of generals is changing,
00:16:49
that is, Zaluzhny’s team is being
00:16:51
removed from the armed forces. Yes, they are
00:16:53
now all undergoing a military medical
00:16:55
commission, they will most likely be fired and
00:16:57
rise from X young general
00:17:00
colonels with very positive reviews
00:17:02
in the troops because they rose
00:17:05
on the wave 14 years, for example, the same
00:17:07
Sukharevsky, who was the first battalion
00:17:25
commander to open up for his comrades. Since then, he commanded very well, then he fought very well, then he was
00:17:29
commander-in-chief who should
00:17:31
develop the direction of unmanned
00:17:32
aerial vehicles; we have created them
00:17:34
as a separate branch of the military. So some of
00:17:38
them, for example, are
00:17:42
shrouded in different the kind of rumors that
00:17:46
need to be verified, for example,
00:17:48
Syrsky himself throws everything at him, and the
00:17:52
and relatives in Russia, mom, brother, dad,
00:17:55
brother in Vladimir, and so on, graduated from
00:17:57
Moscow about the military, and so on,
00:17:59
the truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle Uh-huh,
00:18:02
Syrsky, of course, not a meznik, but he a typical
00:18:04
representative is the commander of the old Soviet
00:18:05
school and questions arise whether the
00:18:09
Soviet school is suitable for Ukraine, its approaches are
00:18:11
not a step back, and so on, this is what we
00:18:12
now see in Avdievka, this is when
00:18:14
elite units are thrown into a city
00:18:17
that is in a hopeless
00:18:19
situation in a city that is
00:18:22
still facing surrender and hold on until
00:18:24
the last Well, the last last, this
00:18:29
because many have already considered
00:18:31
there a repetition of Mariupol in Mariupol
00:18:33
Azov which Denis Prokopenko commander of the
00:18:36
radish Yes they actually put Yes here
00:18:39
many bloggers began to wonder if you do
00:18:40
n’t want Maybe you want to
00:18:42
put a third assault There just like that
00:18:47
political and moral situation is extremely tense and
00:18:49
the worst assumptions are immediately put forward.
00:18:51
I don’t think that anyone
00:18:53
specifically wants to put them there, but
00:18:55
the use of an elite attack
00:18:56
unit in a situation where it
00:18:58
can do little due to the total
00:18:59
superiority of opponents of aviation in the
00:19:01
artillery, the establishment of them is actually a
00:19:02
trap for me, a very dubious
00:19:04
question that needs explanation, so
00:19:07
we immediately see the command style of the new commander-in-
00:19:08
chief Uh-huh, and before that we must say
00:19:11
that Syrsky is the commander-in-chief who,
00:19:13
or rather the general who really
00:19:16
carried out the Kiev operation
00:19:18
successfully, really carried out the Kharkov operation
00:19:20
the offensive is very successful, but he
00:19:23
also loses the sixth city in a row in the east
00:19:25
according to the same scheme because he is
00:19:29
yes he is near the joint venture troops he commanded
00:19:31
in the east. Yes, in the east it was
00:19:33
Syrsky who lost the popasny
00:19:35
solidar Lisichansk bakhmut and Severodonetsk
00:19:41
is losing Therefore, for two successful
00:19:44
operations he has six major losses and this
00:19:47
ratio and action is what in
00:19:49
Avdievka began to make
00:19:51
society and the army think very much about the
00:19:54
style of work of the new
00:19:56
commander, the future will of course show,
00:19:58
but now people are very cautious
00:20:01
and it is Avdievka became such a stone, on
00:20:05
the other hand, it must be said that he
00:20:06
understood perfectly well when he took on the
00:20:08
responsibilities of the commander-in-chief that he
00:20:10
Avdeevka. That is, he understood what he was
00:20:13
going to and that the responsibility would fall on
00:20:15
him and everyone, of course, would compare him to
00:20:16
Zaluzhny and so on so what what what And
00:20:20
has the decisiveness of the king I know him Personally,
00:20:24
he has a great advantage for
00:20:26
politicians is that he
00:20:28
will not argue, he will carry out the
00:20:30
strategy that will be said, he has
00:20:33
long determined for himself that commands the
00:20:35
politicians Well, as it should be in
00:20:36
reality and the military the military must
00:20:38
carry out this by the way, another
00:20:40
feature of Syrsky has no
00:20:42
political rating And Zaluzhny According to the
00:20:44
question, the political rating is twice as
00:20:45
high as the current president, he is a major
00:20:47
political figure, in fact, they see him
00:20:50
as the next qi Yes, and this too couldn’t, I don’t
00:20:53
think that was the main reason, but it
00:20:55
couldn’t help but aggravate, not be such a very
00:20:58
serious subtext in the relationship between
00:20:59
Zelensky and Zaluzhny, because
00:21:00
people were talking, one of whom is
00:21:02
already leaving, in fact, one way or another,
00:21:05
Zelensky’s ratings are falling, and
00:21:08
steadily by five percent per month Judging
00:21:11
by the polls, it is unlikely that he
00:21:13
will be able to reverse this trend, but it is clear that all the hardships of the
00:21:15
war affect the main
00:21:18
responsibility, the war is organized very
00:21:20
simply, the elders are always responsible for everything, and in
00:21:22
Zaluzhny, on the contrary, they are growing
00:21:25
And despite their embrace the heroes of Ukraine handed each other
00:21:29
and so on, they maintain
00:21:32
positive human relations,
00:21:34
but the crowds of these observers and
00:21:37
politicians who endlessly pedaled this
00:21:39
topic created an informational and
00:21:41
moral background that, of course, could not
00:21:43
affect their relations, even though
00:21:44
they treat others
00:21:45
normally as human beings And they are able to
00:21:47
hug, so this was also a factor
00:21:48
that must be said, but the main Factor
00:21:51
I think is simply a fundamental
00:21:53
human disagreement with the further
00:21:54
strategy. But the
00:21:57
political rating has no
00:21:59
direct political ambitions. There are no declared ones. No
00:22:00
one is measuring him; he is not
00:22:02
measuring his rating; he is a military man. He
00:22:03
does what he was ordered but I’m
00:22:05
saying the style of how he performs
00:22:07
made everyone wary now let
00:22:09
’s see how the event ends And what
00:22:11
will happen next It’s clear, you know, here’s something else
00:22:14
I pointed out here from Kazakhstan, in
00:22:16
any case It’s clear We
00:22:18
’re quite far away geographically, but we’re
00:22:22
still watching everything that’s happening
00:22:25
it seems that in Ukraine
00:22:28
today there is a loss of unity. Yes, there is
00:22:30
unity in opinion, unity in positions.
00:22:32
Yes, it’s as if everyone is starting among themselves
00:22:34
and they are just saying
00:22:37
that after Zalozh resigned,
00:22:40
he turns into a political figure and
00:22:42
again they talk about confrontation that
00:22:44
is, there is more talk
00:22:45
about confrontation about inconsistency
00:22:48
within the political elite in general, the elite of
00:22:51
Ukraine, the unity that was at the
00:22:54
beginning of the war in February of twenty-two is
00:22:57
not observed there for the first time,
00:23:01
this in fact also does not
00:23:03
add optimism, and maybe this is precisely a
00:23:05
consequence of the fact that The West also
00:23:09
probably feels some kind of uncertainty about who to
00:23:10
talk to. Where to move next, they
00:23:12
also probably don’t see a strategy. Maybe
00:23:14
this is a principle. Yes. There are two aspects. The
00:23:17
first unity is definitely lost;
00:23:19
we have opened all the old wounds that have accumulated over
00:23:22
centuries and the main lines of conflict are
00:23:24
Russian-speaking, Ukrainian-speaking there, and and
00:23:29
there are those who are for peace and those who are for war to a
00:23:31
victorious end, the third line is those
00:23:34
who left and those who
00:23:35
stayed, it must be said that the authorities with their
00:23:38
careless rhetoric, in my opinion, are not
00:23:40
entirely rational, they aggravate these
00:23:42
conflicts, several statements by the
00:23:43
president regarding those who left and those who
00:23:45
remained that these are citizens, and it’s
00:23:47
unclear who actually I translate into
00:23:49
simple language, they brought it to the point that even
00:23:51
Elena Zelenskaya The First Lady
00:23:52
objected to him publicly, she said, I believe
00:23:54
that all Ukrainians Yes, even those who left then, that’s
00:23:57
why But this is a sharp division between those who
00:23:59
serve and those who do not serve here is the fourth
00:24:01
line, it leads to the fact
00:24:03
that, well, society is really split
00:24:06
along many lines. There’s also the question,
00:24:10
which is also what we talked about at the beginning
00:24:12
when goals are declared that
00:24:14
cannot be achieved and a good face is put on a
00:24:15
bad game, although everyone knows that
00:24:17
the game is bad and mine is good This only
00:24:20
aggravates the pressure on all lines of cleavage
00:24:22
because the Central line sounds like they are
00:24:24
lying to us, but things are much much
00:24:29
worse, which creates the ground for
00:24:31
many rumors, contradictions, and
00:24:33
any conspiracy theories that are
00:24:34
immediately used by some of the policies
00:24:36
used by the enemy through
00:24:38
information operations and so on In
00:24:40
general, we are like a broken cauldron where
00:24:42
One part, or rather, is
00:24:44
sick, this very soup where One part
00:24:46
hates the other now Yes, we have a very
00:24:48
difficult situation in this sense. So
00:24:51
the lines are really getting worse. In addition,
00:24:53
there is also the Central line of split,
00:24:55
Zelensky’s strategy radically does not
00:24:56
coincide with the strategy and the West
00:24:59
Uh-huh in the West,
00:25:02
perhaps only one wants a war to a victorious end Britain she
00:25:04
she For example, the
00:25:05
United States of Europe
00:25:07
insists on this The international bureaucracy would also
00:25:11
want the negotiations that
00:25:13
Putin insists on publicly says I generally want
00:25:15
Negotiation Yes Putin in Carlson’s interview
00:25:18
He said several times Yes, I am ready for
00:25:20
negotiations Yes, and Zelensky Yes
00:25:23
Zelensky made a decision and approved it with
00:25:26
his decree and the order of the
00:25:28
National Defense Security Council that it is
00:25:29
impossible to conduct any negotiations with Putin at all,
00:25:30
this is what Putin pointed out in
00:25:32
his interview with Carlson and it turns out that the
00:25:37
West sees whom between the West and
00:25:39
Zelensky the same thing is happening
00:25:41
between what between Zelensky and the pledged,
00:25:42
that is, a complete discrepancy in strategies
00:25:44
or a significant discrepancy in strategies
00:25:46
in which a normal dialogue is impossible
00:25:48
b the talk of any help becomes
00:25:50
problematic, but it is very difficult for you
00:25:52
to help a person who says that
00:25:54
I will send your help not as you would
00:25:55
like and count on your price nuno
00:25:59
you let's let's let's Yes, we have
00:26:01
international problems coming, we'll be
00:26:05
focused that there has been no American assistance for
00:26:07
2 months. It's critical, it's just
00:26:10
critical and it's not known when they will give it. We
00:26:13
see what's happening in the USA and Will they give it
00:26:16
Therefore, the prospects are very complex, I would
00:26:26
even if at the same time our Supreme Power
00:26:30
that optimism and the desire to reach the borders of the
00:26:33
ninety-first year when
00:26:36
they would overcome all these moral dilemmas
00:26:37
much easier if they
00:26:39
started talking to society as with
00:26:40
adults and tell the complete truth,
00:26:43
but we carefully pretend that they are
00:26:46
still pretending that everything is fine. Great
00:26:48
Marquise, so temporary difficulties and then
00:26:50
we will definitely be here.
00:26:52
Well, as for American assistance,
00:26:55
last week it also seemed to be
00:26:56
approved that there is help
00:26:59
uh the whole case yes about passed one
00:27:02
of the repartitions it is clear there will be necessary Yes And there
00:27:04
remains a congress in the congress and in
00:27:06
the senate the democratic majority in
00:27:08
the congress is republican so how
00:27:09
they will vote is not at all
00:27:11
obvious we will see, but I want to
00:27:13
emphasize that even when they give us
00:27:15
American aid, firstly, it
00:27:17
will be given as a one-time thing, it will not be at all the
00:27:19
level of support that was a year ago.
00:27:21
These 2 years are not at all the same,
00:27:25
it is incomparable. It will be missed and secondly, it will be at least not all of it will be
00:27:27
military, yeah. There are less than 10 billion out of 60
00:27:30
billion e is for purely military assistance,
00:27:33
so even this, Well, by no means will not
00:27:37
radically correct the situation, it will simply give the
00:27:39
opportunity to fight further, if it
00:27:41
is not there or if it drags on for a long time,
00:27:43
the situation could be catastrophic, the front
00:27:44
may collapse on a couple of sectors
00:27:46
at once, the enemy may slip in front of a
00:27:47
kilometer at 50 This is what, in modern
00:27:50
times, means that it will have the
00:27:52
first operational success during the entire
00:27:54
war and will have an even more serious impact on the
00:27:58
the front and on the international situation of the
00:28:00
people and on the international
00:28:01
position of Ukraine, so I see a way out in
00:28:04
correcting the information policy and
00:28:06
starting a serious dialogue with a
00:28:08
serious society, but we need to come to unity.
00:28:11
Yes, we need to agree on some common denominator
00:28:13
first inside. Yes, a house
00:28:15
split inside, like a kingdom split
00:28:18
inside, cannot stand. We know this, and the nuance is
00:28:21
that we need to find moral strength in ourselves
00:28:24
because at the price of what the
00:28:25
president will say in this case how but
00:28:28
the commander as a result of a serious
00:28:29
dialogue first Can raise
00:28:31
a lot of questions in society the beginning of a dialogue if
00:28:33
it starts, that is, society will begin to
00:28:35
ask questions: How did they allow the war to happen in the first place
00:28:36
and how did they prepare for it for this
00:28:38
war Why are there no fortifications at Vyra there and
00:28:40
many, many other questions that,
00:28:42
firstly, it will be difficult for him to answer, and
00:28:43
secondly, they may cost him his political
00:28:45
career Uh-huh And I think that the contradictions
00:28:48
lie in the fact that concern for a possible
00:28:50
future political career is clearly
00:28:53
tied to the bravura slogan about the borders of the
00:28:56
ninety-first year and reluctance conduct a
00:28:58
serious, responsible dialogue with
00:29:00
society, which will only
00:29:02
aggravate the situation. And now we take this:
00:29:04
we have had a Verkhovna Rada for almost six months, well,
00:29:07
a little less than a month, six
00:29:10
months short of a month and a half, it has exceeded its
00:29:13
powers in terms of 28 network elections,
00:29:15
now we have three
00:29:18
presidential elections which were supposed to
00:29:20
pass but will not pass. And May 20 is his
00:29:23
inauguration day. That is,
00:29:25
the powers of five years actually expire,
00:29:28
and then the Ukrainian Constitution did not
00:29:30
provide for such a provision and,
00:29:33
accordingly, it becomes possible
00:29:34
for interpretations in any direction of Article 108,
00:29:36
which determines the reasons for
00:29:38
which the president it may leave, it does not
00:29:41
provide for or stay does not
00:29:45
provide for the extension of powers as
00:29:47
a result of hostilities, but
00:29:48
when in the last year no one accepted this
00:29:56
nito with illegitimate said Not
00:30:00
me, here we have an already crowded
00:30:03
information space officially
00:30:05
unofficially They are silently grumbling and asking
00:30:07
questions and now it turns out that
00:30:10
the president of whose tenure there will be
00:30:13
questions regarding
00:30:15
legitimacy after already after April 31,
00:30:18
this is a month and a half left. Moreover, against the
00:30:20
backdrop of the re-election of the President of the Russian
00:30:26
Federation in the first place, how will he
00:30:28
implement an unpopular decision
00:30:30
related to the mobilization of the need to
00:30:32
delay raising military
00:30:35
taxes there, tightening politics because so that
00:30:37
to carry out unpopular decisions
00:30:39
you need a lot of trust on the
00:30:40
part of society for legitimacy, and here
00:30:42
legitimacy will be suspended, let’s say, and
00:30:44
secondly, how will Western assistance go and
00:30:46
how will they communicate with the president? We will move
00:30:48
our powers to the West, with which we are already
00:30:51
full of contradictions. That is, we will have
00:30:53
this factor added. in the spring and it
00:30:55
will be added very strongly and stabilization,
00:30:58
as if he, too, is not he, he will
00:31:02
not add stability either, but on the contrary, it will strengthen all the
00:31:04
existing main four splits,
00:31:07
five including the split by the West, the
00:31:09
problem will be further strengthened, that
00:31:12
is, we are entering the spring in such a still turbulent period, it is
00:31:14
still quite serious
00:31:16
exit I said where, but unfortunately this
00:31:18
way out could cost the president the rest of his
00:31:21
rating if he starts a serious dialogue
00:31:23
with society, a statesman, a
00:31:25
historical figure, could sacrifice
00:31:27
himself for the sake of the country. Whether Zelensky can do this is
00:31:29
unknown to anyone. Therefore, for now we are
00:31:32
watching. Well, to be honest,
00:31:39
and hear this rhetoric we understand what
00:31:46
President Zelensky’s entourage are saying that
00:31:50
elections in the country can now cause a
00:31:54
negative reaction, in fact, the country
00:31:57
is in a state of war and can
00:32:00
cause destabilization within society,
00:32:01
but on the other hand, I understand perfectly well
00:32:06
And the president should be elected elected by
00:32:10
the whole society, everyone must confirm
00:32:13
and there must be unity within the country. And
00:32:17
at the international level, other countries
00:32:19
that sign documents must
00:32:21
sign with the legitimate president,
00:32:24
too. Whose signature is on the document, too, it’s the same
00:32:27
American aid is not American
00:32:30
aid, it’s citizens’ money USA, they
00:32:33
will also ask some kind of answer Where did they spend the
00:32:35
money with whom Yes with whom are we talking for what who is
00:32:39
signing up for what we are signing up for, that
00:32:41
is, there are really a lot of questions
00:32:43
But the question I would like to ask is this, I
00:32:47
understand I also heard your position that
00:32:49
elections should be held looks like
00:32:52
indeed it is so, but won’t this cause
00:32:54
destabilization inside
00:32:59
I don’t see why they should cause
00:33:00
destabilization, we actually have a
00:33:02
consensus on the figure of
00:33:04
Zaluzhny, the majority of people
00:33:06
support him in the country, the majority and the
00:33:09
elections will definitely end, this is
00:33:11
understandable And here very
00:33:13
bad people arise, they will elect him I don’t think that
00:33:15
someone will fundamentally object
00:33:16
to Zaluzhny’s position. I even have a hard time
00:33:19
imagining politicians who in
00:33:20
this situation will go to the
00:33:22
polls because they will have to be
00:33:25
in polemics and then criticize him
00:33:27
and propose some kind of alternative
00:33:28
program. And this is a sure way to destroy
00:33:30
your rating in the eyes of the people who
00:33:32
now adores Zaluzhny, but that is, this is
00:33:35
political suicide, so
00:33:36
Zaluzhny can win practically without
00:33:38
alternatively now in one round Yes, in
00:33:40
one round in one round very Yes very
00:33:42
quickly specifically and so on, but here
00:33:44
or in two rounds but with almost practically
00:33:49
no alternative the situation gives rise to a
00:33:54
soil For various Innu
00:33:57
and outside Ukraine Especially considering
00:34:00
Russian information operations and
00:34:02
other pressure in this sense and other
00:34:04
enemies of Ukraine Or there are ill-wishers
00:34:06
or figures who are in a strange relationship
00:34:09
with Ukraine, for example Orban and
00:34:11
his Political Party, so this is what
00:34:14
it is very clearly
00:34:18
slowly slowly a connection is being established
00:34:20
and one day it will be established very firmly and it
00:34:23
will become a common place for salting over the
00:34:27
next d months that Zelensky needs
00:34:30
a war and a continuation of the war just
00:34:31
to maintain power such voices are
00:34:33
already heard But this is a very
00:34:36
undesirable ground for any dialogue with
00:34:39
the West is not the West of
00:34:41
the DAD and there will be a lot of speculation for the internal situation. For example,
00:34:46
political forces in Ukraine are
00:34:47
already using this slogan with
00:34:49
might and main, but they are abandoning it openly or secretly, but
00:34:52
I think that after
00:34:54
March 31 it will become a common place
00:34:57
and this will only aggravate all the processes, it will
00:35:00
only aggravate And here we need personal
00:35:03
courage from President Zelensky, a
00:35:04
lot of personal courage to seriously
00:35:06
begin a serious dialogue with society on
00:35:08
key issues, for example the issue of power
00:35:10
and the issue of future strategy. Uh-huh, but he has
00:35:13
already spoken out in principle, he also said
00:35:16
that the position is known Yes, his position
00:35:20
is known will lead to what I said
00:35:24
and it will only aggravate the situation,
00:35:29
question arises what next after the aggravation
00:35:32
Will he change, will he find the
00:35:33
courage to change this
00:35:36
position, in fact, the split inside is
00:35:41
quite serious, but again, it can
00:35:44
all depend on the individual Yes, there is a role for the
00:35:46
individual Maybe he will behave like that story and so the
00:35:48
story from this the situation will change
00:35:57
any question of help and the
00:36:00
positioning of key political
00:36:02
figures in this war for us it is therefore
00:36:06
clear that if help comes then the
00:36:11
push back the issue of positioning of figures the
00:36:14
solution to the issue of power and strategy of the war
00:36:16
will be resolved but with us, look two
00:36:18
main issues of power,
00:36:20
war strategy, or else I’m stuck in the fact that for someone, the
00:36:23
question of continuation
00:36:25
in power is not me who said that. I’m just
00:36:29
showing it to our viewers
00:36:31
because I respect our viewers, I want
00:36:32
them to understand the situation. But the fact
00:36:35
that this will become the subject of all sorts of
00:36:36
speculation will only making the situation more difficult
00:36:38
This I guarantee 10% Yeah,
00:36:42
another question is that regarding
00:36:45
peaceful negotiations about peace, one way or another, we all
00:36:48
know that any war, no matter how severe or
00:36:51
terrible it is, ends at the
00:36:53
negotiating table and the parties agree on something.
00:36:58
That’s your feeling. in
00:37:04
Ukraine How will society be disposed
00:37:07
If suddenly it understands that there
00:37:11
will be no borders in 1991, this is how it
00:37:14
perceived. The November poll showed
00:37:17
public opinion showed that 29% of
00:37:19
Ukrainians are ready for negotiations, they
00:37:22
it, yes in November it would have
00:37:25
been so bad there was only talk about the
00:37:29
lack of American assistance. And now
00:37:30
it has been absent for a couple of months. I think
00:37:33
that the April measurements, for example, will show
00:37:36
a shift in the number of people in favor of
00:37:38
negotiations. Now the question arises if
00:37:42
50% and we will have parallels, although 29
00:37:46
is a very large number this is a third of
00:37:47
Ukrainians in question Well, now let’s say
00:37:51
it reaches half somewhere in May
00:37:53
April and at this time we are mobilizing the bus using
00:37:57
methods that we know When
00:37:59
we have enough people on the streets Although
00:38:01
it is said that the new law on
00:38:02
mobilization should save us from
00:38:05
Well, Ukrainians don’t really believe that they
00:38:08
will be spared from this;
00:38:10
a situation arises, from their point of view, people are being
00:38:13
forcibly taken into the army and they want
00:38:15
peace negotiations; this situation is capable of
00:38:18
completely blowing up society, that is,
00:38:20
leading people to the point that they will
00:38:22
directly sabotage the mobilization or
00:38:23
will directly sabotage fulfilling
00:38:25
one's obligations is the military Well, at the front, having already
00:38:28
been sent to the front, we have brigades of
00:38:30
units in which from 30 to 70% are conscientious
00:38:33
what will happen next you can only
00:38:36
imagine, that is, a person can be
00:38:37
caught, put on a uniform, brought to the front, he
00:38:39
will throw the machine gun and say I judge but I I’m
00:38:41
not participating in the war, the stability of the front, the
00:38:43
stability of our entire position,
00:38:45
internal and external, in this in this in
00:38:47
this situation, it
00:38:51
becomes very problematic if there is no
00:38:53
American help, or even if there is some,
00:38:55
but such as it is, then this is all
00:38:58
aggravated by the fact that the war is not only not I want to
00:39:00
wage, but I don’t really have anything to
00:39:04
so the question of peace every day
00:39:07
will be peace negotiations will
00:39:08
become more acute and acute
00:39:10
more serious The only way is to
00:39:12
cure or rather the scenario to correct
00:39:14
this suddenly suddenly a huge amount of
00:39:17
fundamental help of some kind for example
00:39:18
namm give 500 owl attacks and the situation at
00:39:22
the front and a lot of aviation the situation at
00:39:24
the front changes radically not in favor of the
00:39:25
enemy uh-huh Then yes but I remind you that
00:39:29
even after this you still need a
00:39:31
lot of elementary siina a lot of ankle boots a
00:39:35
lot of uniforms a lot of rations
00:39:38
a lot of machine guns a lot
00:39:40
ammunition so that you
00:39:42
won’t win the war with missiles alone. Although
00:39:43
the situation can be changed very much at the front,
00:39:45
so the situation is going in a
00:39:49
that Well, we can’t win the war.
00:39:52
It’s obvious with this level of assistance,
00:39:55
second, there will be no borders of the year,
00:39:59
third, the question is where the front line will stop.
00:40:00
in one way or another and
00:40:03
what position Russia is in
00:40:05
and what concessions it is ready to make on
00:40:08
this matter, there are two
00:40:10
main opinions, which means two main
00:40:13
three or four main scenarios, the opinion
00:40:14
sounds like this Russia also puts a good
00:40:17
face on a bad game in fact it has
00:40:18
economic holes problems
00:40:25
budget consequences of sanctions that do not
00:40:27
add to the health of the Russian economy
00:40:29
do not add to the prospects of Russia itself
00:40:30
as a state So they, too, would like to
00:40:34
stop the war temporarily Because in order
00:40:37
to get rid of sanctions from sanctions
00:40:41
so as not to lead to a situation of
00:40:44
overvoltage in Russia itself Uh-huh, on the other
00:40:47
hand, there is an opinion that Russia can
00:40:49
hold out for another two years And it is ready
00:40:52
to pay a very heavy price for a
00:40:53
formal victory in the war that it
00:40:55
is waging against the West. Let’s just say that the
00:40:57
federal budget deficit of 3.23
00:41:00
trillion rubles turned out to be only part of a
00:41:03
larger hole and the consolidated budget of the
00:41:05
Russian Federation in the third year, according to a preliminary
00:41:06
estimate of the Federal Treasury, was
00:41:08
executed with a deficit of 3.91 trillion rubles,
00:41:12
which is almost twice as much as a year
00:41:13
earlier; in the twenty-second year, the deficit was
00:41:16
2.11 trillion rubles.
00:41:19
Consolidated budget revenues for the year
00:41:20
increased by 11% to expenses of
00:41:24
14.1 this shows that not everything is in order
00:41:27
with the economy, no matter what they say
00:41:29
Russian, but there is a second opinion that they are
00:41:31
stubborn and will
00:41:33
fight to the end, as it is technically
00:41:36
expressed, different towers of the Kremlin, as they
00:41:38
say, they want different things. I think
00:41:39
that the military felt the taste of success They
00:41:41
say we pushed them through the Second World War and so on,
00:41:44
but there are, for example, liberals who are very clearly
00:41:46
tied to interaction with the West,
00:41:47
there are special services that understand that
00:41:50
internal tension is growing in Russia Yeah, the question of the
00:41:52
political situation, the question of
00:41:56
the question of the possible holding of a new
00:41:59
oprichnina in Russia after Putin’s victory,
00:42:01
many are talking about purges there are no
00:42:03
new Elites and so
00:42:05
on against the background of the war, well, carry out some
00:42:09
other tasks facing Russia, it is
00:42:11
difficult to solve, we have Putin’s position,
00:42:13
it lies in the fact that he has
00:42:14
repeatedly publicly
00:42:16
said that Yes, I am ready for peace, from my
00:42:18
point of view, Putin is the key figure
00:42:20
he has two options that are equivalent for themselves.
00:42:23
He can continue to fight, he wants to
00:42:26
talk to him, but he would be happy to
00:42:27
make peace at this stage if they
00:42:29
went for peace and directly calls for him,
00:42:32
appealing to the Istanbul agreements
00:42:34
that were in March 2009, in which I
00:42:36
took part, about which I also
00:42:37
said many times, that’s why he has
00:42:39
two Well, in almost equivalent
00:42:42
scenarios, if you want to fight, we’ll fight
00:42:44
Well then, as if Who isn’t hiding, I’m not to
00:42:46
blame, if you want to negotiate, we’ll
00:42:47
negotiate, but Ukraine is in
00:42:48
position, there are no negotiations, all the
00:42:50
mobiles before the war are not really
00:42:53
able to have this war continue, therefore,
00:42:57
as the situation on the front line worsens
00:43:00
and with mobilization, I think the Armed
00:43:02
Forces will be more proponents of peace. And when
00:43:05
their number approaches n or more,
00:43:08
then the Ukrainian government, Whoever was
00:43:11
then the head of Ukraine There and so on
00:43:13
will be forced to make an
00:43:14
appropriate decision somehow
00:43:16
be determined in relation to peace
00:43:18
negotiations because it is impossible to force Nanie to get out,
00:43:20
especially in secrecy as Ukraine
00:43:25
obviously does not want to do this already
00:43:27
difficulties with 29 a Let's see what will happen
00:43:30
this November data maybe even more a Let's
00:43:32
see what happens later this
00:43:36
graph 50% I think somewhere should be by the
00:43:39
beginning of summer, maybe the beginning of autumn,
00:43:42
depending on whether they will give help or not. Well,
00:43:44
that is, this is a question. In any
00:43:46
case, the next year, not even
00:43:48
six months or months, that the number of
00:43:51
supporters of ending the war in Ukraine
00:43:52
will reach 50% is a fact that
00:43:55
cannot be ignored
00:43:56
it will need to be responded to. So
00:44:00
this is our immediate strategic
00:44:02
perspective, the number of people who
00:44:04
yearn for peace. I think the mobilization
00:44:06
is carried out this way and then the way it will be
00:44:08
carried out, it will only strengthen the number of
00:44:10
supporters of the peace process and this will be a
00:44:12
more serious challenge, not just a military
00:44:14
historical challenge that
00:44:16
Ukraine will have to go through and somehow decide
00:44:17
even Regardless of whether there will be
00:44:19
elections, it won’t be you who will be in power,
00:44:21
but it seems to me that it matters whether there will be
00:44:23
elections or not,
00:44:25
because Zelensky’s
00:44:27
diplomatic maneuver is not particularly important because
00:44:29
he stated that he will not
00:44:35
legislatively, and even Zelensky, with his
00:44:38
focus on war to the bitter end,
00:44:39
will not be able to ignore 50% of the people for the world,
00:44:42
this is technically impossible, they will simply not
00:44:43
carry out his orders,
00:44:44
this will result in the fact that he will
00:44:45
sabotage the mobilization, that’s
00:44:47
all, and something will have to be done, but even
00:44:50
technically, to go to negotiations, someone
00:44:52
must go to negotiations from the other side
00:44:55
and the Ukrainian side, someone must also
00:44:57
be there, this is also a
00:45:00
question, yes, but he raises the question of what it
00:45:03
means for us, he does not pose, but raised that it is
00:45:05
forbidden to negotiate at all with
00:45:06
Russia, that is, we will still
00:45:07
have to get out of this trap. But there is a way out of this,
00:45:09
in fact, what way out is
00:45:13
reason for this war was the sum of
00:45:16
contradictions that have accumulated since the
00:45:17
ninety-first year since the collapse of the
00:45:18
Soviet Union, but they exist not
00:45:21
only between Ukraine and Russia But between the
00:45:23
entire European space, all the
00:45:25
political players that exist in it.
00:45:27
This is a series with
00:45:30
the same, underneath them lies the same sum of
00:45:33
reasons that under
00:45:34
Azerbaijan, the Armenian conflict and
00:45:37
many other zones of
00:45:39
tension, and here you can pose a
00:45:42
broader question: what under Damo, the Yalta
00:45:44
system, which was
00:45:46
formed as a result of the Second World
00:45:48
War in 1945 and was in effect until the
00:45:50
9th year before the start of a major war in the
00:45:52
center of Europe in Yugoslavia Yeah, hundreds of
00:45:55
thousands stopped working a long time ago in the
00:45:57
9th year, the Ukrainian war is now
00:46:00
all Russian-Ukrainian, it
00:46:02
is only an extreme expression of the fact that this
00:46:04
system does not work, the
00:46:06
Helsinki Treaty on the Inviolability of Borders
00:46:08
does not work, the system of treaties on the
00:46:09
limitation of arms does not
00:46:11
work, nothing works, the Budapest Agreement does not
00:46:13
work at all, the Budapest Agreements
00:46:15
and so on, and it is necessary to create a new
00:46:17
security system in Europe that takes into account
00:46:19
collective security
00:46:21
real players of the parties
00:46:24
including Russia and Belarus
00:46:26
all and enter into a serious
00:46:28
responsible real dialogue of all
00:46:30
parties Negotiations can last as long as desired At least
00:46:32
10 years create this
00:46:34
system but the main task of which
00:46:36
is to prevent the active hot
00:46:38
phase of war, that is, to create a mechanism
00:46:40
when conflicts can be resolved by other
00:46:41
methods they are at the cost of killing hundreds of thousands of
00:46:43
people, destroying the economy, creating waves of
00:46:46
refugees, and so on and so on, and it would be possible to
00:46:48
do this if politicians
00:46:50
were responsible on both sides on all
00:46:53
sides, more precisely for now Yes, not yet in
00:46:57
sight, so the alternative is a
00:46:59
long big war look, the
00:47:01
Baltic countries are already strengthening their
00:47:03
Western borders with all their might, and all Western
00:47:06
officials, including the head of NATO, say
00:47:08
that ahead of a clash with Russia, the
00:47:10
Polish representatives say, the heads of
00:47:12
the intelligence services, the Minister of Defense of Denmark there and
00:47:14
others of Sweden, Britain say we are preparing
00:47:17
for a clash with Russia, we are preparing for a
00:47:18
big war in Europe the alternative
00:47:21
is a big war in Europe or there a
00:47:24
collective translation of this situation in
00:47:26
Ukraine could be very simple, that we the
00:47:29
president even has this formula, there is
00:47:31
this springboard, he proposed it at the beginning of the
00:47:33
war, also the so-called peace formulas in
00:47:34
which at the last meeting that
00:47:36
representatives took In more states, we
00:47:39
can say that it is necessary to raise the question not
00:47:41
only of ending the
00:47:42
Russian-Ukrainian war, but also of
00:47:44
creating a new system that does not allow
00:47:46
these wars to resume in one
00:47:47
form or another, not only between Russia and
00:47:49
Ukraine, but also between Russia and the
00:47:50
Baltic countries, and so on. That’s
00:47:53
why let’s just start from the
00:47:56
Peace Formula, which is a
00:47:58
platform as a political groundwork, and
00:48:00
invite Russia to collective negotiations.
00:48:01
Moreover, during the
00:48:03
last summit in Malta they directly
00:48:05
said that Russia will be invited one day
00:48:08
consolidated position of the
00:48:10
powers already there and please
00:48:12
bring up the topic of negotiations,
00:48:14
raise the frame much higher than the
00:48:16
Russian-Ukrainian won, then the general
00:48:18
world order must be a world order, yes Or
00:48:20
order in Europe, you bypass the frame of the
00:48:22
Russian-Ukrainian war And your own
00:48:24
prohibitions to negotiate with them, you
00:48:26
do not negotiate with them, these are
00:48:27
collective negotiations And you there
00:48:28
may be bilateral consultations within the
00:48:29
framework of these negotiations on health, that
00:48:31
’s all, no one has banned them; the same
00:48:33
consultations are held by 60 countries,
00:48:35
including us and Russia; this can be
00:48:37
circumvented and come out of this situation gracefully
00:48:39
with dignity. If there was a desire, but I
00:48:42
think the desire is now Probably there is
00:48:44
because this military rhetoric,
00:48:46
which is sounding more and more actively, it
00:48:50
scares the inhabitants and residents of Europe, probably
00:48:54
first of all, it scares me, in my opinion, no
00:48:58
wants to fight there. In general, in my opinion, they are not ready to fight at all. I don’t see any
00:49:01
desires. Russia talks endlessly about
00:49:03
negotiations. No one is inviting Russia to negotiations, no
00:49:05
one Have you heard at least one
00:49:08
statement? This is We are inviting Russia to
00:49:09
negotiations, this is official. Everyone is talking about the
00:49:11
desirability of negotiations, but no one is
00:49:12
inviting, so here is the story of
00:49:15
saying that everyone wants it. It’s difficult. Well,
00:49:19
yes, I also agree, one more question Alexey,
00:49:23
here we are talking constantly American
00:49:27
assistance, assistance from Western countries, and
00:49:30
Ukraine itself, the military-industrial complex of Ukraine works, but
00:49:33
Ukraine itself is generally able to provide
00:49:35
itself, to some extent, with rows of cartridges,
00:49:40
food, everything that works, we
00:49:43
can, I no one knows the exact numbers, according to
00:49:46
my assessment, we can the needs of our
00:49:47
Armed Forces percent according to different things from n
00:49:50
to 20, provide Well, for example, in
00:49:53
food for 20 But there, in terms of
00:49:54
shell n from the necessary, this is a
00:49:57
vanishing small value, of course, not
00:49:58
a single state can completely
00:50:00
provide for itself the needs of the war except the
00:50:01
United States during the Second
00:50:03
World War. That’s why Russia has created
00:50:07
itself provides, in my opinion, now,
00:50:08
calm down Well, she provides for herself at the expense of
00:50:14
serious things. She is in an osm position;
00:50:16
she has something to trade oil and gas there,
00:50:18
for example, yes, well, she has something that we don’t have; and
00:50:20
secondly, how would she create too
00:50:22
big a state? In addition, Putin However, the
00:50:24
strategists made a decision and performed a very
00:50:26
important trick; he managed to turn around the situation of the
00:50:28
conflict between Russia, Ukraine, or even Russia,
00:50:30
NATO, and changed the frame to the global south
00:50:33
against the global West. Well, yes,
00:50:34
the rapid expansion of the Brix. Yes, yes, yes,
00:50:36
anti-colonial rhetoric,
00:50:38
a change in the position of the countries of Latin
00:50:39
America, Africa, in favor of Russia and against the
00:50:41
West shows that in general the ins and outs of
00:50:45
this conflict are global,
00:50:46
not even pan-European, that is, there are a lot of
00:50:48
claims against the West from the
00:50:50
global south, these claims are not
00:50:52
resolved, the rhetoric is like this
00:50:56
bet that in Israel, Creation also exists in this
00:50:59
conflict of the global world
00:51:04
happening with Kusita is now attacking
00:51:07
ships 14% of world maritime trade yes this is a
00:51:11
problem the conflict is wearing The Earth has accumulated The
00:51:14
planet has accumulated a sum of contradictions So
00:51:16
they break through here and there
00:51:23
and with Lisa to win the Second
00:51:26
World War I don’t think that he would have won
00:51:29
yes Therefore although he was a fairly
00:51:31
self-sufficient economy, but the severity of
00:51:33
the blow, the amount of destroyed captured
00:51:34
industry, resources, the entire European
00:51:36
part, in fact, led to the fact that
00:51:41
Ukraine was needed, our problem is that
00:51:43
we spent 32 years of
00:51:47
insecurity, we, roughly speaking,
00:51:48
declared foreign policy cast was
00:51:51
elements of internal resources and we
00:51:53
totally at the dawn goals depended on external
00:51:57
players, a simple example: We really want the EU
00:51:59
and NATO, even in the Constitution they wrote down
00:52:00
the question whether the EU and NATO are waiting for us, very
00:52:02
problematic for us already now, three three
00:52:04
signals in a row, there were two yesterday and
00:52:06
the day before yesterday at the level of defense ministers
00:52:08
of different countries, politicians that do not wait for an
00:52:10
invitation in NATO, in fact, they are talking
00:52:12
at the summit in Washington in June of this
00:52:14
month, which they really hoped for
00:52:16
after we were not invited to
00:52:18
Vilnius Yeah last June and so
00:52:20
on, so this is all a very distant
00:52:26
Russia even reacted very sharply to this prospect having started a war to
00:52:29
ensure, as they say, their
00:52:31
legitimate interests in the area of the soft
00:52:34
underbelly of Russia in the region of Ukraine,
00:52:36
preventing it from joining the anti-Russian,
00:52:38
as they consider NATO, military Union,
00:52:40
so we declared and implemented goals
00:52:42
for which We did not have the resource, we
00:52:45
wanted what we wanted we will have to
00:52:47
pay with a major war and we pay without
00:52:49
having the means of waging war, this is
00:52:51
infantilism and the childish Ukrainian policy of the
00:52:54
childish Ukrainian society, the
00:52:55
fundamental reason for everything that
00:52:57
is happening except for the
00:53:02
expansionist tendency in Russia and
00:53:04
Russian infantilism, or rather Ukrainian,
00:53:06
which did not calculate this in time and even
00:53:08
pulled and teased Russia by the mustache tiger like
00:53:11
this, pursuing a policy that, well, clearly
00:53:15
led to war, but at the same time not preparing for
00:53:18
this war, we are paying a very high
00:53:22
price for this, we will pay more first What and
00:53:26
most importantly what will Ukraine learn if it
00:53:27
survives this war at all
00:53:29
what or if more broadly so to speak in
00:53:33
this geopolitical
00:53:34
conflict of which the war is only a
00:53:37
part of which it is necessary to carry out a
00:53:39
secured policy a policy that
00:53:41
we are able to provide with our own
00:53:43
resources It is clear to expect that we will be able to
00:53:45
fight with Russia whose military budget
00:53:47
there is a couple of dozen times
00:53:49
greater than us and our capabilities themselves
00:53:53
are unrealistic, but at least we
00:53:56
need to withdraw so that the military can provide 50% of their needs
00:53:58
and all of their own.
00:54:01
I hope you are convinced that despite all
00:54:10
and even for states located on the
00:54:13
fault of geopolitical plates such as
00:54:15
Ukraine, and if we do not cover 50% of our needs,
00:54:24
it is very difficult to say
00:54:26
what our entire territory is being shot at by
00:54:28
Russian Russian missiles, which
00:54:30
means we need to build factories somewhere
00:54:33
in the Carpathian Mountains in the west in the west, yes, yes, there is a
00:54:36
huge, huge, difficult
00:54:39
problem in the west that had to be given up; it
00:54:41
had to be given up a long time ago. But instead, we
00:54:43
joyfully unloaded and told
00:54:45
that everyone loved us and there will be no war That is
00:54:48
why even 10 years of war from the
00:54:53
field of a direct war with Russia in a
00:54:57
hybrid proxy version, but the war with
00:54:59
Russia did not force us to seriously
00:55:01
engage in the defense of the country, monstrous
00:55:04
infantilism and the payment for it is monstrous in
00:55:07
the future, I hope that we have
00:55:10
learned, although here there are many problems.
00:55:13
For example, our infantilism
00:55:16
is superimposed on the monstrous infantilism of the
00:55:17
West. Uh-huh. But here’s a simple example:
00:55:19
when Kherson was taken on November 11, 2018, the
00:55:23
West sharply reduced the intensity of
00:55:25
supplies of military equipment for armaments and
00:55:27
began negotiations with Russia. Putin, do not
00:55:29
join the winter company. Putin responded by
00:55:31
building a line. Surikina
00:55:32
mobilization in preparation for battle,
00:55:35
so the counter-offensive failed
00:55:38
could not help but fail, we let
00:55:39
them dig in for 9 months, all this time there was a Peace
00:55:41
Dialogue for the first 3 months they did not
00:55:43
supply military equipment at all.
00:55:45
I also saw this in the trilateral
00:55:47
contact group and in the Normandy
00:55:49
format it amazed me deeply
00:55:50
souls This is infantilism because as
00:55:52
soon as peace negotiations
00:55:57
intention to prepare for war immediately stops, and the West
00:56:00
suddenly began to relax. Well, how about
00:56:03
peace, the Armed Forces, you can not spend money and
00:56:05
this is a very simple idea that if you
00:56:07
want the Romans even the ancients said
00:56:10
that you want peace prepare for war, what is the
00:56:12
best way to ensure peace? Given this, in
00:56:15
such moods of your neighbors, the
00:56:19
plan of preparations for the war
00:56:23
will not be successful, then
00:56:27
peace will be guaranteed; this is a simple thought that
00:56:29
did not fit; we pay, I repeat the
00:56:31
monstrous theme, the price and we will also pay for
00:56:34
our infantilism. superimposed on the
00:56:36
infantilism of the global West right
00:56:38
now When America does not give us help
00:56:41
and says what sober American
00:56:44
politicians say Well then American
00:56:45
soldiers will die in Europe and Trump
00:56:48
says to this Yes, I generally
00:56:50
won’t help Rapu NATO and, moreover, I will
00:56:51
encourage countries Russia to attack
00:56:53
NATO countries that do not pay anything other than
00:56:55
infantilism, you can’t call it isolationism, they are trying
00:56:58
isolationism some kind of
00:57:00
American internal policy, in fact, this is the
00:57:02
monstrous monstrous infantilism into
00:57:04
which our Western and our
00:57:07
Ukrainian Western policy grew after the
00:57:08
end was announced in December
00:57:10
history, when the West decided, it won and
00:57:13
now Everything is now grabbed by God by the beard, it’s
00:57:23
clear that no one wants to be
00:57:26
pro-Western, moreover, no one is
00:57:29
afraid of the West anymore So the West also declared the axis of evil,
00:57:33
he spoke With moral categories in
00:57:35
politics, the axis of evil, the axis of good But if you
00:57:37
declared evil, so go fight this
00:57:39
evil, but you don’t fight, as it were, and
00:57:41
therefore, too, hypocrisy and infantilism -
00:57:44
This is a monstrous payment we pay and the West will
00:57:46
also pay, I’m 10% sure because
00:57:48
I practically believe that a
00:57:50
clash between Russia and Europe is inevitable, you consider it
00:57:53
inevitable that is, do you think that inevitably
00:57:56
all the logic leads to the fact that there will be
00:57:57
a clash somewhere in the Baltic countries
00:57:59
Well, this is the Third World War then I
00:58:02
don’t even have another word then Arzhan,
00:58:05
unfortunately it’s already underway It’s just going
00:58:06
through a series of conflict episodes Yes and
00:58:08
Then it’s possible it will remain a series of such
00:58:10
conflicts of episodes But when I talk about the
00:58:12
collective security system This is
00:58:14
more of a good wish than a practical
00:58:17
proposal because no one is with
00:58:19
infantilism and the fact is that
00:58:20
no one is going to arrange it everyone is
00:58:22
in military rhetoric everyone is ready
00:58:25
Well, we’ll fight well means Well for in
00:58:28
order to fight here,
00:58:31
Unfortunately, words don’t help, actions are needed here.
00:58:34
I just have this feeling. I have the
00:58:39
well, we often go to Europe, we see there, in
00:58:42
my opinion, no one is ready to fight and
00:58:44
change this Comfort that exists and and It
00:58:47
seems to me that in any battle, a clash with a
00:58:51
enemy, there will be very big problems,
00:58:54
and very sharply and clearly. Yes, in the
00:58:57
West during this time even anthropology has changed. That
00:58:58
is, they have other people who
00:59:00
no longer think in war and do not want to
00:59:02
fight. These are different ho sapiens Yes, you can
00:59:04
say yes Yes, other anthropos are called
00:59:06
changed, so everyone expects that these
00:59:08
hipsters who love pumpkin armor
00:59:10
will go to war or go to the machine
00:59:12
to produce shells, but it would be very
00:59:14
naive. The West has not been able to restart the
00:59:15
military industry since August, or rather
00:59:17
since the summer.
00:59:23
Western model in Masha is completely broken, it does not work, that is,
00:59:27
small compact professional very
00:59:29
expensive Armed with the latest
00:59:31
technical word The armed forces
00:59:33
end within 3 months of the war,
00:59:34
first they run out of ammunition and everything
00:59:36
else And then a war begins
00:59:38
of which there are huge masses that should be
00:59:41
armed with simple effective
00:59:42
weapons, and this is a fundamental
00:59:44
change in the model, they are not ready for it at all
00:59:47
because first of all they need
00:59:53
the masses even if the states go to war.
00:59:56
They can start to destroy the Russian
00:59:58
military industry. There is just
00:59:59
industry and then a million
01:00:01
men armed with a Mosin rifle will come to
01:00:03
Poland and You won’t fire missiles at them
01:00:06
and you won’t find them for every plane, they
01:00:07
just won’t hit the infantrymen separately, you’ll have to
01:00:09
fight in dirty trenches, that’s
01:00:10
how we fight, shooting at
01:00:13
each other from 5 meters away and throwing grenades. And if in the
01:00:15
west there are hundreds of thousands of people
01:00:17
ready for this to do This is a very big
01:00:19
doubt, a very big doubt, therefore,
01:00:22
and if you look at what is behind Russia is
01:00:24
North Korea China, who has the West labeled
01:00:27
as evil Iran Yes, all all the armies of the state are
01:00:30
capable of first producing huge
01:00:32
quantities of cheap military equipment
01:00:33
that is needed for a conflict of this
01:00:35
scale is needed not expensive not [
01:00:53
super early grief Let's prepare with all our might,
01:00:55
other people say No, what are
01:00:58
we going to agree on, yes, and third people,
01:01:01
but there are no people who say,
01:01:03
maybe let's sit down and
01:01:06
developed a new security system
01:01:08
that prevents wars, no
01:01:10
need to threaten anyone Tomahawk, no one needs to be
01:01:11
threatened with infantry, no one needs to be threatened with the
01:01:16
prospect of using nuclear weapons somewhere behind their rows of cores, I
01:01:19
don’t see responsible politicians
01:01:20
who are ready to raise the question of the
01:01:23
collective security system for now,
01:01:25
despite everything, I don’t feel comfortable saying
01:01:27
this phrase, it’s awkward, even as if yes, but
01:01:31
so far about the system of collective security
01:01:33
Sorry, two people are speaking, me and Putin, no one else I
01:01:36
haven’t heard this from anyone else
01:01:38
Putin is talking about peace Yes
01:01:41
indeed Yes yes this is not even peace peace is
01:01:43
not an end in itself peace can be discharged by
01:01:46
another war after a while
01:01:47
frozen conflicts again can
01:01:49
explode, we saw it in Ukraine, we
01:01:51
saw it in Azerbaijan, Armenia We
01:01:52
don’t just need peace, we need a
01:01:55
security system that prevents wars, this is a
01:01:56
slightly different way of posing the question at a
01:01:58
higher level, but so far I don’t see
01:02:01
bunkers that are located on the borders with
01:02:03
Russia, I see attempts there to launch
01:02:05
I see the industry, but I kind of see it from the
01:02:09
other pole Tanya, there won’t be a war, we’ll
01:02:11
agree, but I don’t see a serious
01:02:13
conversation about the security system. That’s what
01:02:15
worries me. This means that
01:02:17
infantilism, which caused what is
01:02:27
Now, talking with you, I hear more and more often
01:02:32
that borders within the framework of the ninety-first
01:02:35
year are practically
01:02:37
unrealistic, and the people who live in Ukraine
01:02:41
today, who have lost
01:02:43
relatives and friends, how do they react to
01:02:45
such things? Then it turns out All this
01:02:49
was in vain, all the people who died, they
01:02:51
react extremely painful But this is a
01:02:53
natural emotional reaction of people to the
01:02:55
trauma of war, the trauma of war, and
01:02:57
who are confused by the official
01:02:59
Propaganda that we will not reach an inch of our
01:03:02
Earth, and so on and so forth,
01:03:03
again the reason for this is not people, but the reason
01:03:05
that no one is serious with people doesn’t
01:03:07
speak seriously authoritatively the state doesn’t speak
01:03:10
because what do you mean they
01:03:22
the lack of support in vain It was obvious there were 8 years of
01:03:24
war Yeah Now we’ve lost territory we’ve
01:03:27
lost people we’re going to lose even
01:03:29
more territory even more people
01:03:31
uh and we’re paying for what we
01:03:35
’re fighting for, you can say for that
01:03:37
so that Ukraine survives as such, so that
01:03:39
it remains an independent state,
01:03:41
here we are no longer even talking about the former
01:03:43
borders; in fact, it is not clear
01:03:45
that politically we would and will
01:03:47
stand on the need to return the borders of the
01:03:48
first year, but this is the Federal Republic of Germany,
01:03:51
only the Democratic Republic of Germany existed for 41 years after
01:03:58
so no one is going to give up and
01:04:00
give up our territories at
01:04:04
global political goals, of course we
01:04:07
are talking about the return of all territories, the
01:04:08
return of Crimea, and so on, but this will be
01:04:10
official rhetoric all the way as long as
01:04:15
But now let’s look in reality, people are tired of being
01:04:18
realists, we must be realistic, that
01:04:20
is, the territories will be occupied,
01:04:22
occupied for a very long time. Perhaps
01:04:23
several dozen, as the GDR was once
01:04:25
occupied, and therefore, as part of
01:04:30
must proceed from this, we are fighting so
01:04:33
that we are the first to not be occupied by
01:04:34
the other part so that we remained
01:04:36
independent and could make
01:04:37
their own decisions. But in order for us to
01:04:39
remain independent, we must understand
01:04:41
that the threat to our sovereignty
01:04:42
exists not only from the East but also from the
01:04:44
West, from the West it is not direct, no one in the
01:04:47
sense that Hungarians, Hungarian
01:04:49
radicals or Romanians want to take away from
01:04:51
us part of the territory Although
01:04:53
Iri is not allowed with no brigades, this threat
01:04:55
means that we are totally dependent
01:04:57
on the West, we have no real
01:04:58
sovereignty. It is
01:05:02
formally preserved at the level of respect for the general
01:05:05
principles of sovereignty that
01:05:07
were established back in 1648; this is how the
01:05:10
authority of even small ones is preserved.
01:05:12
I don’t take island states like
01:05:13
Nauru and so on, I’m joking,
01:05:17
which are neither capable of an economy nor, much
01:05:19
less, an Armed Forces, but yes, they are
01:05:21
respected, they shake hands, and,
01:05:23
formally, the same as the leaders of the
01:05:25
largest powers because the country is not
01:05:27
capable of defending itself with real
01:05:29
sovereignty does not
01:05:30
require actions from us that increase our
01:05:32
real sovereignty, this means a
01:05:34
fundamental change in domestic
01:05:35
policy in the direction of increasing the
01:05:38
economy from strengthening it in the direction of
01:05:40
strengthening the military-industrial complex, this is a fundamental
01:05:43
change in relations with neighbors with
01:05:44
whom we need to build this together, the military-industrial complex,
01:05:45
for example, and who understand what the
01:05:47
Russian occupation is The Soviets have
01:05:48
historical experience and are ready to help us in this;
01:05:50
changing relations with
01:05:51
Western countries, not only the West with the countries of the
01:05:53
global south, this is one of the most
01:05:55
important directions for us to build
01:05:56
our own independent policy with China with the
01:05:59
royal ones with the Muslim world with
01:06:02
other countries of the former Soviet
01:06:03
Union with Kazakhstan the same and so
01:06:05
on, it is necessary to stitch together so many
01:06:07
connections that a very large number of
01:06:09
players would be unprofitable for Ukraine to
01:06:11
suffer because, for example, their
01:06:12
investments in Ukraine are a simple example. And
01:06:15
most importantly, we need to change the ideological
01:06:17
frame. Because a society going through
01:06:19
a series of conflicts that we talked about at
01:06:24
what kind of society a complex policy to raise
01:06:25
real sovereignty to strengthen the
01:06:27
economic power of external influence
01:06:30
will not be able to carry out, it is mired in internal
01:06:32
quarrels, therefore, Ukrainians are required to
01:06:35
grow up sharply, take
01:06:37
responsibility sharply and radically sum up the
01:06:39
results, which is already a fixation of
01:06:41
results Yes, stopping the war and
01:06:44
making colossal efforts to
01:06:47
to raise our real sovereignty This is a
01:06:49
task of such magnitude that I
01:06:54
setting it as a goal of our policy
01:06:57
because it still smacks of infantilism. Until
01:07:00
now, the goal is that we will
01:07:01
definitely win the war, we will join the EU and
01:07:04
NATO and there, within this framework, we will begin
01:07:06
to rise and get an umbrella and the roof is
01:07:22
unrealistic and nothing surprises me to the
01:07:25
contrary until the
01:07:28
realistic goals of the task are stated, the
01:07:31
desire is stated to fix
01:07:35
and radically change the internal and external
01:07:39
political course towards strengthening
01:07:40
real sovereignty and then we can
01:07:43
say why Everyone died why
01:07:45
my friends died. For example, I lost in
01:07:47
this war, in this war, in many others
01:07:52
as adults, and Ukraine
01:07:56
has been preserved in history, this is the price that
01:07:59
could have been paid, but it could not have been
01:08:01
paid or paid much less if
01:08:05
childish and understood what is really
01:08:07
happening where is all this going? Tell me,
01:08:09
this is how 8 years of war have not
01:08:12
been preparing for war for 8 years, not intensifying, how is this
01:08:17
even possible? It’s difficult to say. It’s not even infantilism. It’s that the
01:08:19
state of war is even
01:08:27
Ukraine since the ninety-
01:08:28
first year I’m telling you that who
01:08:30
needs us and in the modern world no one is
01:08:32
fighting anymore Although it was great idiocy, it’s
01:08:34
like AIDS and political
01:08:37
destruction of your own immune system
01:08:38
with your own hands, your army, but here it’s still
01:08:41
clear, but when the war started they took away
01:08:43
Crimea And the war in Donbass began. Well,
01:08:44
then it was already possible to figure out where
01:08:46
it was going. Russia was preparing for an attack
01:08:48
on us completely openly from the
01:08:50
year sixteen, it created a
01:08:51
strike force on our eastern and
01:08:53
northern borders and in the Crimea. It’s quite
01:08:55
obvious when I predicted the war in the
01:08:57
twenty-second year, remember in the Dada video
01:08:59
I remember this, but it’s not because I’m a
01:09:00
Great Prophet. But I just, like a military man,
01:09:02
considered what was happening and where
01:09:04
it was all going and the time frame for the group’s readiness, which by
01:09:06
the way was in the open
01:09:07
Print, well, that’s all, how could it
01:09:12
be? Well 8 years of fighting, not preparing for war
01:09:15
and doing everything to make the war take place, as it were, yes, well,
01:09:17
at the same time, yes, keep the rhetoric
01:09:21
rhetoric high, yes, yes, yes,
01:09:24
high intensity, which
01:09:26
provokes an attack on us,
01:09:30
was the height of infantilism. Well, we have what
01:09:33
we have, but 2 years of the most difficult war with the most difficult
01:09:35
hundreds of thousands of victims They
01:09:38
still do not do not lead to a change in
01:09:40
rhetoric anyway, the policy gives off the
01:09:42
same infantilism, that is, the problem is
01:09:45
that we have not learned the main lesson,
01:09:47
soon the third year of the war will go We have not learned
01:09:49
we do not want to carry out a realistic
01:09:50
secured policy and to carry out a
01:09:54
our policy allows it. Clear Alexey and in
01:09:56
conclusion, in conclusion, one question
01:09:59
concerns you personally about your
01:10:03
ambitions. What do you think about this if
01:10:06
elections are held, will you stand as a
01:10:08
candidacy? Is it possible in Ukraine
01:10:12
to stand as a candidate without having you have a
01:10:14
political party, as far as I know, there is no
01:10:15
longer your own Yes, how to work without a
01:10:17
political candidate can be
01:10:19
self-nominated for president, for this it is not
01:10:20
necessary to have a political party, just have a
01:10:22
parliamentary one, it is advisable
01:10:24
to have a party, there is a local one, it is advisable to
01:10:25
have a party I promised that I would run for
01:10:27
president but This means that we will
01:10:29
most likely have to keep this promise. But
01:10:31
this will depend on the conjuncture
01:10:33
that exists in our country. Look, I’m a
01:10:36
skeptic about what, if you
01:10:38
look at the tasks that we
01:10:40
face, then even elections are not a
01:10:46
tool capable of completely solving
01:10:48
this problem because elections do not
01:10:49
guarantee the implementation of adult politics
01:10:52
after this because the infantile,
01:10:55
not only the politics of the infantile
01:10:57
society as a whole, the West is completely
01:10:59
infantile, what can we say about us,
01:11:00
therefore, changing the psychology of mass
01:11:02
society is Elections are such a
01:11:05
tool Yes, it’s kind of a question, so it
01:11:10
that Well everything will depend on on the
01:11:12
specific situation from on the context in
01:11:15
which When, how and what will
01:11:17
happen What are the moods in society
01:11:18
Will they be ready for a breakdown, will they be ready, and so on,
01:11:20
I’ll still look because m
01:11:24
Well, I’m just Well, you know, call for a
01:11:27
realistic policy and to nominate yourself as a
01:11:29
candidacy, for example, you don’t have
01:11:31
any chance of success, why is it
01:11:33
repeating the same trick
01:11:35
to carry out the same infantile thing that I
01:11:36
promised to go to the polls? I didn’t
01:11:38
say In what year I’ll go. Maybe I
01:11:39
’ll go to the polls in 20 years, you know?
01:11:41
yes When will it be when society matures,
01:11:43
so I’m not, as it were, a political track
01:11:47
for me remains one of the important ones,
01:11:49
I somehow have my share of power,
01:11:51
if only because I influence minds, for
01:11:54
this you don’t have to be a formal
01:11:55
politician, believe me, I have a sufficient
01:11:58
amount of influence and you just have to
01:12:00
be on the rhetorical side of
01:12:02
positioning, so I wish you success,
01:12:05
happiness, Victory
01:12:07
and, as it were, real sovereignty of history
01:12:10
for your country, for your people,
01:12:15
there are all sorts of different tools for this. As for politics, these are very
01:12:16
specific things that need to be looked at
01:12:18
depending on the current political contours
01:12:20
at that time, my friend for many years
01:12:25
will win the elections, the clear
01:12:27
question is whether I should be nominated as
01:12:28
president. Why is it obvious that 3% of the votes
01:12:32
and so on, and then it is much easier for me to
01:12:34
enter into an alliance with him and then
01:12:35
resolve some of my issues in a
01:12:37
situational political union
01:12:39
human and so on etc. If yes, we don’t
01:12:41
split society and don’t delay
01:12:43
votes, so we will look at Where and
01:12:46
how it will develop for a politician -
01:12:48
this is a tool for me, she is not an
01:12:50
end in itself, she cannot be an
01:12:51
end in itself for one healthy person who
01:12:53
wants success in his country, she
01:12:58
specifically in specific conditions if
01:13:01
the conditions develop Yes, you need to
01:13:02
do this if they develop there are completely
01:13:04
other ways to help your country
01:13:07
without politics Clear Thank you very much
01:13:10
Alexey we will be in touch as
01:13:13
usual I hope to see you again in March
01:13:17
I had a very busy
01:13:19
period I had to take a break I spent
01:13:21
almost less than x days, no more than 3
01:13:23
days, not a day I was in one place,
01:13:25
endless flights and time
01:13:26
zone changes Well, we are back again And I am
01:13:28
very glad that we are back I am grateful
