Have to understand a simple thing, what is putins tactic, putins tactic consists in deliberately raising rates, because in general, whoever stops raising rates will lose in this war. And so we started our program with this tragedy in the kharkiv region. I want to remind you that the intensification of russian actions in kharkiv against kharkiv in particular coincided with. Successful Ukrainian Drone strikes on the territory of the Belgorod Region, remember, ugh, ugh, there were strikes, Russian Military infrastructure objects were destroyed, and what putin said we will create a sanitary zone so that none of our regions would be affected by ukrainian strikes, although again, when it came to strikes on the territory of the donetsk, luhansk, kherson, and zaporizhzhia regions of crimea, no one said that. That is, now russian propaganda has some such amazing terminology that this is the original territory of the Russian Federation, and it is not as if, you know, new russia, new russia, new moscow, in new moscow, as you know, life is worse than in to the old one, despite the unification of these territories of the Moscow Region with moscow, it is more difficult to live in the new russia than in the old one, because no one will take revenge for it, but it is the very idea that we have to destroy. And create there some kind of sanitary zone there, even if not so much in russia it turns out, it is now being presented to the west as a response to the successful strikes on the Belgorod Region and the destruction of the russian oil refinery, that is, we will not simply respond as we responded, we will simply destroy the city to them, so that they know, so to speak, and this training with Tactical Nuclear weapons, this is a response to the discussion. Regarding the fact that it may be possible to allow western weapons to hit Russian Military facilities, so that they understand that putin can raise the stakes even then, you will allow conventional missiles to be hit on the territory of russia, and we will hit an unusual missile with a Nuclear Carrier on the territory of ukraine, what will you do next, you have a plan, so to speak, how you will respond, that is, this is an invitation to further escalation, and by the way, you understand that it can to take place to western politicians, not all of them are ready to agree to the fact that westernmade missiles can be fired at the territory of the Russian Federation, who spoke out for this from all western politicians, only one person, in fact, it is the minister of Foreign Affairs of great britain, david cameron, whose mandate ends in july, well, somehow, Jens Stoltenberg said something carefully, but his father, no, he also said that. Carelessly said yes, you have, but his mandate is also ending, who know that their political careers are coming to an end on stolpar, at least as nato secretary general, and cameron as British Foreign secretary, as former british Prime Minister er, he thinks about the legacy, he wants to leave this position with dignity, but valid western politicians who dont think about the end of their careers, they talk completely differently, and ill tell you more, we already see the advance of people who have always been associated with russia, in the direction of no, but just today absolutely categorically against the possibility of using of such weapons, said the vice Prime Minister of italy, matteo salvini, you know that his league party has always been against the use of the west, western weapons as such to help ukraine, after 2022 he changed his position, another italian politician who is against. The use of western weapons for strikes on the territory, this is Italian Foreign minister tajani, he heads the party of the deceased Prime Minister berlusconi. That is, it really gives them. Doesnt give putin that opportunity to say what, youre going to let them destroy a couple of russian airports, and what are we going to do with the airfields, and what are we going to do if putin hits them with nuclear weapons, we have a plan, and it can paralyze the will of the west , so it is clear why he went there, now regarding his talks about the negotiations, he is clearly not alone, but in the company of the head of the peoples republic of china, xi jinping, decided to give zelensky a fight, one might say. On the territory of the ukrainian president , why . In principle, as we understand, zelensky cannot act on the territory of the Russian Federation with the help of troops. The whole war of russia against ukraine is taking place and will probably take place on the sovereign territory of ukraine. But zelensky can start an attack on the diplomatic positions of russia, and by and large, this whole story, i would say, with the peace summit, with the previous meeting advisers on National Security issues, all this was connected with the desire to get as much support as possible for ukraines view on the end of the war, so that the war ends justly, justly. Now the question arises, quite important, i think, if putin will just watch it. At least the countries of the global south will decide that it does not care at all, and they will have the opportunity to demonstrate their loyalty to the west without the risk of worsening relations with moscow, but russia has gone the other way, it actually acts through china, there are peaceful proposals of actually freezing the conflict, which were in. Expressed by china, and these proposals are beginning to become more and more globalized, so china came out with this freezing plan, which it presented in the capital of the global south , lihui, then this plan was supported xizen ping in paris, then the plan was supported by Vladimir Putin in beijing, now vani discussed the plan with celsuam arim, the chief adviser to brazilian president lula, who, by the way, refused to go to switzerland. And there is already a common chinesebrazilian vision frost, now they say that there will be an alternative summit in moscow of the Foreign Ministers of the group of seven countries, and this summit may end up with a much more concrete document than the swiss summit, because the swiss summit, again, thanks to the presence there of representatives of the countries of the global south, is more likely to everything will end with absolutely vague formulations, for everything good, against everything bad, and the brics summit in moscow can end clearly. That chinese plan, which will be the brics plan. What is putin doing . At the same time, putin demonstrates that he is so ready to support this idea that ukraine and russia should talk, that the very idea of a conference without the participation of russia is doomed to failure. On the one hand, it reduces the interest of the countries of the global south in such participation, on the other hand, it creates the conditions for the diplomatic defeat of the west, and we are already hearing that maybe President Biden really will not be present there, maybe not only because he wants to gather. And because he does not want to be present at an event that will end in nothing. The next moment and another moment, along with this, supporting the chinese plan, he practically does not give up any of his conditions, because what his press secretary dmytro piskov says is no different from what moscow said in february 2022. We have special operations goals, and we can achieve them politically, what are these goals . There are subjects of the Russian Federation that ukraine should stop claiming, and we just have to clearly understand for ourselves what this means. This means that ukraine, at least de facto, if not de jura, should recognize the autonomous republic of crimea, the city of sevastopol, donetsk, luhansk, kherson, and zaporizhzhia regions, part of the Russian Federation, and Ukrainian Troops Must be withdrawn from the territory they control in these, that is , on. Them, if they will offer it, and of course we do, but this is raising the stakes , if we say, we will not go anywhere, they will say, well, we will not go anywhere, you do not want to go anywhere, you do not want to leave the territory of our subjects. Federation, and we will not go anywhere from the territory of our subjects of the federation, thats it, thats right, thats what the negotiations with russian nations, they understand that we will not get anywhere, but they understand that we will get rich from them, that. They left, this is called the russian trap. The second point is demilitarization. Can they achieve demilitarization . No, from us, no. But, they can achieve the lack of security guarantees. There is no demilitarization. And we say, we will not demilitarize. But then we will not give you security guarantees. If you do not want to demilitarize, then russia will not give you Real Security guarantees. And the west. The west also does not give, well, we sign some agreements, but this is not a guarantee, well, they are not ratified by the parliaments, so this is a classic freeze, that is, putin says that in principle, if i have the desire, we can freeze the conflict , so we raised the stakes, they raised the stakes, we lowered them and froze them on the contact line, but now the next moment is really interesting, legitimacy, if russia does not consider president zelensky legitimate, she. He says well, let them be there in ukraine , it means that after signing any armistice agreement, they can say we apologize, but we are not clear with whom we signed, especially if after that, imagine a different situation, if after the armistice, there will be new president ial elections and their winner will raise questions about the legitimacy of his predecessor. Maybe, we dont know who will win the elections, well, in theory, anything can happen, such a person who will be in strict opposition to president zelensky during the Election Campaign and will win in his election, he can submit a request to the Constitutional Court the next day, after his election, about whether the president of ukraine was legitimate from may 20, 2024, if this person says, you know, the Constitutional Court did not agree with this, the russians will say i dont see. They are devaluing our agreement, well, we will now start a special operation, or even vice versa, that is, they themselves will say that it turns out that now there is a legitimate president , he will recognize this agreement, because we are not sure that he is legitimate, and the new president of ukraine will say and what do i have to admit, theres a signature, no , that signature, if you dont sign it, in blood, and now imagine that this mans entire Election Campaign is going to be based on the fact that this was a wrong deal, and that he does not give us. Any guarantees of security, you understand that the successor of president zelensky as the president of ukraine in the conditions, if this war ends in a freeze and lack of security guarantees, will be a person with much more populist slogans than the person who won the election 2019, and putin can do it to understand, he is creating a situation for himself, so to speak, an open chance, a pause, and the ukrainians themselves, from his point of view, will give him the opportunity to start a new one. Ugh, the process. Okay, and nato, heres how the possible accession of ukraine to nato fits into the framework of this whole process, because we understand that ukraine will not join nato right away, but on the other hand, we must understand what russia, relatively speaking, wants to do so that ukraine does not join us, we understand that this is basically one of the. From the list of those postulates that russia puts before itself, of course, but russia will not be able to demand from us in the freeze agreement that we do not enter somewhere, because it will not be an agreement with conditions, if it is a freeze, then we do not recognize their sovereignty over our territories, they do not recognize our sovereignty over our territories, they do not provide any security guarantees, the west does not provide security guarantees, they cannot achieve anything from us, we cannot achieve anything from them, this is a ceasefire. But here the question arises not about ukraine, but about nato itself. Nato knows that there are two armies standing against each other, there are no guarantees that one of the armies, even the russian one, is not ukrainian, they say, we dont, we want to solve these problems peacefully, we said that from the 14th year to the 24th, it s true, putin accuses us that we wanted to fight, that we bombed donbas there, both our president s, from the 14th to the 24th, president petro poroshenko, president volodymyr zelensky, at least after the signing of minsk. Thats when russia used its regular units in order to defend its positions, at least in part of the occupied territories, said that they want to solve the territorial problems of ukraine peacefully. The peaceful way is the minsk agreements, and the peaceful way is the crimean platform, on the crimean platform everyone already talked about the peaceful way of solving the problem, not about the war for the return of sovereignty in crimea, so what, so what, the country will have a serious dilemma , can they accept. As part of the country, a country that is not under threat of a new war and without established internationally recognized gimbals, i. E. No guarantees. That ukraine will join nato under these schedules, no, no, because ukraine does not control its internationally recognized borders, if the war ends like this, and does not recognize the territories under the control of russia, together with nato countries, as russian, so these are the foundations for a new conflict, you understand , there is one problem here that may need to be discussed or clarified, i dont even know, solved, but we just need to understand it with you. So you and i talk all the time in the logic of the 20th century, not the 21st century. In the logic of integrity borders, which was adopted after the Second World War and enshrined in the geltsin act on security and stability in europe of 1975. And nato, nato countries, and the United States and the countries of the European Union, they come out of it. No, it is not the violation of boundaries that is sacred. Thing in the 19th century, if we talked with you, if there was television, we would nt talk to you about it at all, in the 19th century, some regions of one country moved to another, with such a speed that very often the inhabitants did not even understand where they are, remember not even wars, conflicts, ultimatums, this continued until 1945, look at our neighbor the republic of moldova, part of the territory was in the ukrainian ssr on the moldavian rsp, part of the territory in romania, and before that in the russian empire, and the part that was in romania was returned to the soviet union by ultimatum, united with the territory that was part of the ukrainian ssr, as an autonomous republic with part of the territory, part of the territory of the autonomous republic was annexed to ukraine, left as part of the ukrainian ssr simply as a part odesa region, and this resulted in a real independent state, which now does not control parts of its territory. What is the former moldavian autonomy as part of the ukrainian ssr, with the exception of the city of bendery, which was not part of this autonomy, and it is the socalled transnistrian republic, well, this is not the whole, not the whole problem, there is also gagauzia, there is gagauzia, which has never been separate , but gagauzi was not at least a separate factor in 1991 there, relatively speaking, im just telling you how it looked, they just took the territory of moldova. On the territory of ukraine we will also see, there is the territory that was part of the russian empire, there is territory that was part of the austrohungarian empire, there is territory that was part of austria, there was territory that was part of hungary, there is territory that after the First World War became part of poland, not only the territory of austria, but also the territory of the russian empire, there is a territory that became part of czechoslovakia, there is a territory that became part of the soviet union, all these territories in the 45th year. Became the ukrainian ssr completely and then annexed to them the territory that was the territory of soviet russia, that is crimea. This is how you can talk about every european state, if you and i Start Talking about poland, what does it consist of, before the wars in poland and after the war, and czechoslovakia, that is, you understand, and the Czech Republic and slovakia now . You can talk about it forever, but im not talking about it, im saying that when, when did the breakdown of the soviet union begin. Yugoslavia, we all decided, in order to prevent a big war, the borders should pass along the borders of the former union republics, despite the fact that these were not real states, you and i understand this, they were conditional states, it was more convenient for stalin and tito to rule these countries and their states, but the problem is that it was the right, good decision that allowed simply without war. Start normal relations between these new countries, keep calm there, keep peace there, keep International Peace there, but russia and serbia would undermine it, first serbia, then russia, look, since the 90s, since the 90s, serbia has been fighting in bosnia and herzegovina, in croatia with the help of paramilitary formations, they first expel the croats, then expel the serbs from croatia, bosnia and herzegovina is actually a country in which ethnic cleansing is legitimized in order to preserve its territorial integrity,
