There will be another attempt of such an attempt, there may be more signals, but here i am, when i analyze this, i am always surprised by our people who discuss ratings and chances candidates, as if, firstly, as if in we will actually have elections in the near future, in the coming years, i would say, and it is as if they live in a peaceful country, and as if they understand that there is a high probability that and. Certain candidates and certain voters for the new president ial and parliamentary elections elections in ukraine, i apologize, they will not survive, this is a war, a war is distinguished by the physical destruction of the likely participants in the elections, and those who are on the ballots, and those who will vote, and this must also be understood, as the main factor in the elections is called death, Everything Else is not the main factor in the election, people who live in war have to take the word death as. A real political category, as a category that will determine their future in the years to come, because if people in war forget about death, they cant even decide how they survive, life becomes a ghost when you dont remember death, thats why i always encourage you to remember death in war every day, dont relax even for a minute, you will forget, you will die, and this is a very important point, i think it should be like that demonstration. In sobriety, you know, well , you have to live sober in such a country, because if you dont live sober, then you get information that it turns out that putin was preparing to use Nuclear Weapons, as we talked about it, then you panic, and what happens thought, this is the same as with a major attack, that you thought that putin could not use Nuclear Weapons against ukraine, maybe, thats why you have to hold him by the hands, by the legs, thats why you have to create this strategic uncertainty so that its a year. Which im sure has been approved a long time ago as a possibility, it has not been realized , is putin ready to use Nuclear Weapons, in itself yes, the answer is positive, yes, ready, is it possible to get it from this, yes it is possible, there are chances, they are not absolute, and this is also a huge task of the world politics, diplomacy, contacts with china and india so that a Nuclear Attack is not carried out on the territory of a nonnuclear state, because after that all life. Every country will want to become nuclear, of course, we do not know how the world will respond even to this, rather may not answer for everything, and this will also be very serious a blow to world security, in short , lets move on, and what worries our viewers and listeners is the new appointment of Valery Zaluzhny, ambassador to Great Britain, and please comment on it, ive already started. To comment on everything when he said about the president ial election. Once, the appointment of a person who was the commanderinchief of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, one of the highest representatives of the militarypolitical leadership of the state, to diplomatic work is always the same. Trying to keep the most popular, likely a longdistance political competitor. Ugh, and this is an obvious thing for me, because i repeat again, i have soviet experience, i remember how former members of the politburo of the Central Committee of the cpsu were appointed extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassadors after their removal from their posts. I even remember the story of the appointment of ambassador to Great Britain without agraman, uh, when the last foreign minister of the soviet union, boris pankin, a few weeks. Before the collapse of the soviet union, had to resign because a wellknown soviet politician , future georgian president eduard chevarnadze really wanted to return to smolensk square, simply to the position of minister of Foreign Affairs and minister of external relations, and Mikhail Gorbachev called mr. Pankin to the kremlin, he was very indebted to mr. Pankin, because mr. Pankin did not support the gkchp, well , he told him that amrosievich is here, and you, boris dmytrovych, should leave your post, and boris dmytrovych, well, he asked him, what should he do then, and then mikhail serhiyevich gorbachev removed him. Picked up the phone, called the Prime Minister of Great Britain to john major and said mr. Major, could you accept boris pankin, such a good man, our minister of Foreign Affairs, as ambassador to Great Britain. Well, mr. Major, what did he have to say when the president of the soviet union called him directly. He said, of course, we will be honored to receive the minister of Foreign Affairs in london. And the kremlin was informed about this even before agreman was confirmed. By the uk government because it was just a phone call of the president of the ussr with the Prime Minister of Great Britain. Now practically the same thing happened. For reasons i do not understand , the announcement of Valery Zaluzhnys appointment as ambassador to Great Britain took place even before Great Britain agreed to it. And until the moment when the corresponding decree of the president of ukraine was signed. Well, it sort of is. From the administration, you know how the decree on shevchenko awards was signed today, which was not signed last time for three months in a row, why was it last once a year, yes, and this year , one can only guess, but when there is an imbalance of state administration, which began not in 2022, but in 2019, there can be various such things, it is very difficult to understand why this is so, why in general, why this everything is unbalanced, unbalanced, everything. Because it doesnt matter much, balance, it doesnt matter much people who should be balancers, but dont know how to do it, thats why all these conversations that Valery Zaluzhnyi there, in the position of ambassador to Great Britain, he will deal with weapons purchases there will be a Great Authority in a country that is such an important ally of ours, of course, it all sounds very beautiful, and people who used to say that, and they still say now they wrote editorials for the soviet communist press, it was a special talent, i generally i would somehow somehow pull people out of facebook by the ears, by the nose, and send them to 1982, where there was a front page in the pravda newspaper, the front page in the izvesti newspaper, and they always always explained like this that, lets say, if there is no bread, thats huge the harvest was collected by Agricultural Workers of smolensk. This is beautiful , it can only cause envy, the ability to call black white, white black, not to see something in the eye, has no meaning, in the end this means that the idea is simple, what if valery zaluzhna, who according to sociology is a competitor of Volodymyr Zelensky in the illusory president ial elections, will not be in ukraine, then his rating will. Decrease, the rating of the president , as i understand it, will increase, i dont even want to think in such categories, because first of all, i dont understand why i have to talk about ratings in a country where president ial elections may not be held for many years, and where the enemy hunts for an aspiring president to destroy him, why not, i should be interested in the survival of the president of ukraine , what is his rating, the main thing is that he is alive and well, because this is a huge probability that the russians will try to get rid of. We have a current president , so that we dont have a president , this is one moment, the second moment, the popularity rating of the hardworking person, this is the rating the person with whom the vast majority of ukrainians associate the preservation of the countrys statehood in the most responsible for us in 2022, when many thought that ukraine could disappear in a few weeks, remember, i will tell you honestly that now this danger is no less, but peoples perception of. Dangers is different , and this is an important thing, because what is very important is not what happens in reality, but what happens in peoples heads, especially in ukrainian heads of people, because they know how to perceive reality in such a special way in a way that does not always coincide with the reality that is under their window, but on the other hand, what does the window have to do with the rating, and so there is none, there is no meaning. In which place Valery Zaluzhny will be, the rating of the mythologized, how to say it, player, ugh. Valery is not even a player, he never said that he would run for the president , never once showed political ambitions, never once quarreled with the president , the player is not like that, he is an unworthy player, a player is the image of a worthy person, an image zaluzhny will not be harmed, even if you send him as an ambassador to, i dont know, cape verde, do you remember, the russians wanted to send him, god, we even remember. It doesnt matter, lets forget it, its generally something from my intimate experiences, in short , the rating, the rating will not suffer from this, how important it is that the general heads the embassy, well, in principle. Well, in principle, if we still believe that such a highlight of our state is that it is possible, how could i tell you, now i will try to express myself intelligently, but i will have to tell anecdote, when the pianist rubinstein was walking down the street, he met one of his friends, who was known as a music critic, and this friend told him, guess what, i have a concert, i will play the piano. With me, even if you listen to how i play, rubinstein tells him, what will i do at your concert, im a pianist, he says, youll hand me the notes, well, they came, theyre friends, so the critic is gray, so there plays something, beethovens pathetic symphony to tatatam, and rubinstein flips through the notes, and tomorrow was the review, the next day in a good newspaper it is written that an absolutely amazing concert, the best concert of the century, the one who was supposed to play the grand piano turned over the notes, and the one who. Was supposed to turn over the notes, he played the grand piano, the ukrainian management of everything is set on exactly this idea the one, who has to play the grand piano flips the notes, and the one who has to flip the notes, as a rule, plays the grand piano without showing skill, but from the point of view of the ukrainian voter, if a person plays the grand piano badly, then let him play, because she will learn, so whats the idea, shell learn, its just here bababah, here ba babah. Baah, well, yes, in four or five years she will break a certain number of grand pianos, i dont care about anything, by the way, it could be another musical instrument, its just its a joke of a grand piano, but im just the first source, and in the end this royal, well, it starts with it becomes clear that you could just vote for a mechanical piano, but in any case its a recipe for any now. Civil servant, so i do not see anything so excessive in the fact that the former commanderinchief of the armed forces will lead embassy in london, i just so much hope that some deputy minister of Foreign Affairs has not already been appointed as the commanderinchief of the armed forces, this is progress, it means that we are approaching some kind of balance, the understanding is that in some places, well, certain structures should be managed by people, which can distinguish a tank. From machine guns, huh, and in general, what do you think of the trend for military personnel to become politicians, diplomats, etc. , someone in ukraine fears this and says oh, no, no, the history of pinochet should teach us and in general the world of Everything Else. Of course, politicians can only be pop actors or television performers, because this work is definitely a direct path, a direct path to political success, so direct. The line is even, but the soldiers are not, well, what are you, if a person cannot sing comic verses a couple of months before the start of political activity, how will he cope with the management of the state, what are you , there is no need to insult us here, if you are serious, the question is not therefore, is a person a television actor, a general, or a banker . Question in so how much does this. Person have political flair, if you dont have flair, you wont become an actor, if you dont have flair, you wont become a politician, people, a voter can just vote for a certain person, vote for a leading actor in the tv series he cant, its a pity, but you and i always voted for brad pito there, he would have played in the best ukrainian tv series, but he can vote for the president or for a deputy, and this person can either learn or not teach how to be, not not like that, not not how to be politically gifted, and not to be. Mentally gifted and this is an absolutely obvious story, that is why in the history of various states there were absolutely close generals who became politicians and saved their countries, no. The best example of all times and peoples is a general charles de gaulle, but there was also an outstanding politician, Emperor Napoleon bonaparte, he was also a professional military man, he was a military man, but he was an outstanding political figure in any case, you can treat him differently, i understand that Emmanuel Macron is no different to him i think, i have such a suspicion, but it s like this, and there was a wonderful politician, general dwight eisenhower, he was a professional military man, that is. And there were people who did , and, by the way, general agusta pinachet was also a professional soldier who became a Strong Political figure in the conditions of an authoritarian state, i am absolutely not in favor of generalunchet, but the fact that he is a person with political flair is a fact, there were other generals who led countries lost power, brought these countries to the brink, you can remember them, they are in many countries, there are. With such examples, well, again, not until the moment when a person leads the country, you will never know whether there is nothing negative in the very fact of electing a person with a military education or with a generals rank as the head of the state, the question is only how this a person will cope with the challenge, because on the one hand, military education. Gives a person the opportunity to plan management, well, this is precisely his level of competence, on the other hand, military education does not involve understanding the variability of the situation and respect for other opinions, general esenhauer was able to such respect, general degol not very much, despite all his abilities, he was a man, one might say, who perceived only himself. As a leader, and this is also an important moment, just that france may at that moment , at the two moments when general dogol played such a big role in modern history, needed just such a leader, well, again, these are different things, we have seen, that in israel, lets say, the elite is half made up of generals, there are successful politicians, there are completely unsuccessful ones, there are people who change the very situation in israel politically, there are people who for many years. Head the general staff there, are considered an example of a strong professional military, then , when it comes to politics, absolutely everything is destroyed, all their authority, because it is imagined that as generals, they were in their place, as politicians, no, how, if you ask me about Valery Zaluzhnya, it depends solely on what will happen, if he will engage in politics and become the president of ukraine, whether it can happen, of course it can, of course it will, someone will be the president of ukraine after end of war and after the president ial elections, it is unlikely that it will be the current president , well, i will tell you right away honestly, some person will most likely win the incumbent president , even if he is a participant in the elections , this is the law of war, but whether it will be Valery Zaluzhny, i do not know it may be completely different options, it may not be in 20204, but in 2034, you know, we dont, some. I would say that the prerequisites for the war to end in the near future do not exist in nature, once again ukrainians they are inventing something , but there is no need to invent, russia is not going to end this war, is not going to hold any negotiations , the most we can do is we can push it back to our borders one day and fight further there, eh, will it be possible in this situation to cancel. State and hold elections, well, in principle, anything can happen, military local elections were held in israel in the conditions of the war against hamas, but the war against hamas is taking place on the territory of the gas sector, on the territory when we will conduct the war, lets say on the border, in there will be some kind of buffer zone there, we will know that we can hold some kind of elections on the entire territory of the country, of course, we will take into account missile attacks, drones there, all this will continue, well, then we can at least talk about it, but until this must be lived through and again, not everyone will live to see it, that is, they must talk about it. Who will survive, not us, we dont know who, its a lottery, we dont know which of us will be able to participate in this discussion, because we have to, well, to be honest, and i could die there in a week from or in a year from rocket fire, and those who look at us may die, well, this is war, you need to be sober about it, and not think that everyone there is eternal, and that this projectile will definitely hit someone else, but not you, no, maybe you, this is a normal situation during war. Mr. Vitaly, we have already talked about the elections and their prospects, or rather not our prospects, but in the Russian Federation
