00:00:00false information after the attacks, while there is
00:00:03no direct evidence of Moscow's involvement in organizing the attacks themselves. Against the backdrop of these events, Kosinyak
00:00:07Kamysh also called for restricting access to social media for children under 16
00:00:11years old. In addition, the Polish government insists on faster blocking
00:00:14of illegal content, including materials calling for
00:00:17violence. Read more about this in our
00:00:20news. And that's all for me at this moment. Take
00:00:23care!
00:00:31Watch the Ukrainian focus of glory. We talk about the main events of the day with
00:00:35politicians, analysts, and opinion leaders. I am Yulia Hirshova. I am Marek
00:00:38Siran. Welcome. Good day. Big War is not
00:00:41a hindrance to Big Deal. Donald Trump announced that he had agreed with
00:00:45Putin to supply millions of tons of Russian diesel. And then
00:00:49stated that Ukraine and Russia allegedly had already agreed to an energy
00:00:52truce. However, Moscow did not confirm this and continued to strike
00:00:56Ukrainian energy infrastructure, particularly Kyiv and Kharkiv.
00:01:00responds, ready to stop strikes on Russian targets, but
00:01:03only reciprocally. Meanwhile, in Congress, they call the diesel deal
00:01:07potentially illegal and are preparing a bipartisan bill to
00:01:11block the purchase of Russian oil. So what exactly is
00:01:14Trump buying from Putin, cheaper fuel or the illusion
00:01:17of a truce, my colleague Yulia
00:01:19Hunko will tell you.
00:01:23300 tons immediately, another 500
00:01:25tons.
00:01:45full control over the Strait of Hormuz and this wonderful news
00:01:49regarding Russian energy resources, diesel
00:01:51fuel prices for Americans and indeed worldwide
00:01:54will fall to record lows, and this will happen
00:01:58quickly. According to Trump, lowering prices for citizens
00:02:01is his highest priority. On the same day, the US Treasury issued a general
00:02:05license for transactions with Russian fuel. Its import, as
00:02:09well as the provision of services for sea transportation, had been banned
00:02:12since March 2022.
00:02:15year.
00:02:19While Trump and Putin were negotiating by phone, Zelensky in Kyiv
00:02:22was receiving delegates from Congress, and in Miami, negotiations in the
00:02:26Ukraine-Europe-USA format were ongoing. The latter ended by...
00:02:30surprisingly, there will be no second day, reported a journalist from Radio
00:02:33Svoboda. The President of Ukraine in an interview with Axios stated
00:02:37that Washington used peace talks as a smokescreen for a deal with
00:02:41Russia. In any case, it all goes to
00:02:44war against people, against
00:02:47Ukraine, against all of us. I believe
00:02:51that our, our team is simply being used
00:02:54as a smokescreen, and this is certainly unfair, this
00:02:58is certainly not partner-like, and
00:03:02this is, in my opinion, Axios also provides details of the meeting
00:03:06in Miami. A Ukrainian official told the publication that
00:03:09the Americans threatened to stop intelligence sharing if
00:03:13Ukraine continued to strike Russian oil refineries. And a US
00:03:16representative added: Trump wants this to be a unilateral act,
00:03:20as he does not consider attacks on oil refineries
00:03:23equivalent to striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The
00:03:27reaction of the Government of Great Britain, a country
00:03:30participating in the meeting in Miami, was also quite
00:03:33clear. We will continue to work closely with
00:03:37international partners to provide Ukraine with the military and
00:03:41financial support it needs for self-defense. We will also
00:03:44maintain pressure on Russia through the toughest sanctions regime
00:03:48ever applied by Great Britain. Fuel prices are not just another
00:03:51attempt by Trump to stop the decline in his rating and push
00:03:55Republicans into Congress during the midterm elections, but also
00:03:58hopes for further big deals with Putin,
00:04:02according to political scientist Vadym Denisenko, head of the Analytical Center
00:04:05Business Capital, because 5 million tons is
00:04:09a pittance, only a month's consumption
00:04:11for the USA.
00:04:16Why did Washington, as the largest diesel exporter, decide to buy
00:04:19it in such almost inconspicuous portions, and
00:04:23more than that, from Ukraine, which is currently lacking it itself, explained
00:04:27journalist and publicist Vitaly Portnikov on his YouTube channel.
00:04:30According to him, Putin achieved a complete and obvious diplomatic
00:04:34victory over Trump, and the deal itself is a bribe for the Kremlin leader.
00:04:38In order for the Russian president to more quickly
00:04:41agree to the sale of foreign assets of Luk Oil,
00:04:45to representatives close to Trump's family
00:04:49and the American president's inner circle.
00:04:52In reality, we are witnessing precisely
00:04:56the search for ways to conclude this deal.
00:05:00and no peaceful process. Portnikov
00:05:03predicts that a surge in diesel prices is unlikely to save Trump from
00:05:07defeat in the elections, and Ukraine will continue to strike Russian
00:05:10oil refineries. Therefore, if... the G7 needs diesel,
00:05:14they should negotiate precisely on an energy truce. Meanwhile,
00:05:17the Financial Times published the reaction
00:05:21of a Ukrainian official to the agreement. I quote: "We
00:05:24will burn their oil refineries." Yulia Hunko,
00:05:27Slava. US President Donald Trump stated
00:05:31that Ukraine and Russia agreed to an energy
00:05:34truce. The US also threatens to stop supplying
00:05:38weapons to Ukraine under the PER program. This is reported by the publication.
00:06:12day, greetings to you,
00:06:15good afternoon, well indeed, the energy truce announced
00:06:18by Trump, we see that Kyiv, Moscow did not accept it,
00:06:22and today Volodymyr Zelensky says that Ukraine has only one
00:06:26oil refinery, and in the matter of an energy truce, for
00:06:29it, the key is to stop Russia's strikes on
00:06:33power plants and the power grid, and the American
00:06:36team is well informed about this, but
00:06:39we see that in Washington, the energy truce is perceived as
00:06:43meaning we should stop striking Russian oil refineries. Mr.
00:06:46Roman, please tell us how to get out of this situation so as not
00:06:50to agree to unfavorable terms for us?
00:06:54Well, Ms. Yulia, first of all, we need to
00:06:56objectively assess the situation, because
00:07:00I think that here Mr. Vitaliy Portnikov is absolutely
00:07:04right, it's not about peace
00:07:07talks, it's about, at this
00:07:10stage, preparing
00:07:13a deal concerning
00:07:16Lukoil's assets in Europe, and
00:07:19part of the assets in Africa, because it's roughly
00:07:23split in half, 10 billion in Europe, 10
00:07:26billion in Africa, that's
00:07:29the first thing, because actually, when you objectively
00:07:33assess the situation, then the focus kind of shifts
00:07:36from the events, so first, second, what is extremely
00:07:40necessary is coordination. action with
00:07:42European partners, here in this situation regarding
00:07:46the preparation of the meeting in Florida, there was
00:07:49a lack of coordination, when we last
00:07:52met, I warned all of us then
00:07:55that coordination was necessary here, and that's why
00:07:58in Florida all of Europe,
00:08:01NATO, the European Union in representatives,
00:08:04Ukraine, ended up there, and this was simply a brilliant, brilliant
00:08:08curtain for the machinations that Donald
00:08:11Trump was playing out behind Ukraine's
00:08:14back. There's another thing that is difficult, important
00:08:18to understand: all of this was prepared
00:08:20long before the meeting in Florida and before the so-called
00:08:24telephone conversation between Trump and
00:08:28Putin, because if you look at the tanker
00:08:31that arrived yesterday off the coast of the United States
00:08:34of America, the decision on it could not have been made
00:08:38later than September 5th, that is, September
00:08:41fifth. On September 5th, all key decisions were made,
00:08:45the chartering of the tanker began,
00:08:47then its insurance followed, then loading, and only
00:08:51on September 22nd, September 22nd, it sailed to
00:08:54the United States of America, this is approximately what
00:08:58happened, these days a play is being staged
00:09:01in the name of Donald Fredovich Trump,
00:09:04which has no relation to
00:09:07peace negotiations, all of this, in the end, is
00:09:11focused on the epicenter of one event - November
00:09:143rd. November 3rd, which Trump
00:09:18understands and perceives as a disaster. In the current
00:09:21situation, it is important not to make
00:09:24wrong steps. Some things that were done
00:09:28these days. Yes, overall, it is an objective
00:09:31reaction from Ukraine, but there are also some
00:09:35emotions that needed to be avoided. That's the first, and the second.
00:09:38The President of Ukraine should not have been in
00:09:42a hurry, because all that happened in
00:09:46the United States of America, all these attacks
00:09:49by Donald Trump, this is an absolute plot
00:09:52of the election campaign, this has nothing to do with
00:09:56peace negotiations, and as a result of shifting the center
00:09:59of evaluation, well, this tension arises, it's
00:10:02a theater of the election campaign, no more
00:10:05and no less.
00:10:07Mr. Roman, I agree with what you said, but... How is it that I
00:10:11will go a step further, well, it
00:10:14turns out that we have a world order, because this
00:10:17is an unprecedented situation, when in fact,
00:10:21America buys on... This is a rather dangerous situation for all
00:10:55of us, including Ukraine.
00:10:58Mr. Marik, the old
00:11:00order died in the autumn of
00:11:042021, objectively it should have been buried then, when
00:11:08those ultimatum treaties appeared that the
00:11:11Kremlin sent to Washington and to Brussels
00:11:15in NATO. That was the end. Two years later, this
00:11:19will be confirmed by President Joe Biden. As for
00:11:22the current time,
00:11:25it refers to such a historical concept as
00:11:28a timeless period, neither there nor there, neither in the past nor in
00:11:31the future, this is a period when the world order is being reformatted,
00:11:35who should propose it, because
00:11:38in fact, I did not accidentally distance myself
00:11:42from the barrel of diesel, because you are absolutely
00:11:45right, it plays absolutely no role for
00:11:49the United States, nor for the world, it
00:11:52makes up... of world consumption, what role
00:11:56does it play? nothing. Now let's think, and
00:11:59the United States exports 64 million
00:12:03tons of diesel every year, what will 5 million for
00:12:07half a year give them? That's also
00:12:10nothing. Therefore, indeed, you are right, it is about the world order,
00:12:14and here it is important that the unity of Ukraine,
00:12:17Europe, Canada. I bring us back to the discussion that
00:12:21took place during the meeting of the European
00:12:25Parliament and the meeting of the Prime Minister of Canada, where
00:12:28it was clearly and absolutely stated: "we need to form a European Security
00:12:32Council, which would include
00:12:34Ukraine, Canada, Norway, those countries that
00:12:38are not members of the European Union, Great Britain, because
00:12:42this seriously strengthens the strength, the potential of Europe, and
00:12:46this, Mr. Marik, will give a chance
00:12:49to impose, including on such an ignoramus as
00:12:53Donald Trump, a new world order, he is no longer capable of anything,
00:12:56or on November 3rd he will be multiplied
00:13:00by zero, everyone sees this perfectly, because the new
00:13:04Congress, where the House of Representatives will obviously already have
00:13:07a Democratic majority, will tie him up hand and
00:13:10foot, and if they also get a majority in
00:13:14the Senate, then his impeachment procedure is
00:13:17guaranteed, the result, we will still think, will depend on how
00:13:21many Republicans support the initiative
00:13:25of the Democrats, so it's a different matter, you know, I don't look at American
00:13:28Democrats any better than at Donald Trump, because there are also
00:13:32enough headless people like Trump, and this will still be
00:13:36a problem for Europe, how to act in this situation,
00:13:39in fact, the fate of the world today depends on the
00:13:42unity of Europe, how Europe will deal with
00:13:45the idiots in France like Marine Le Pen and similar
00:13:49idiots in Germany, like Alternative for Germany, all
00:13:52other idiots, of whom there are plenty. in Ukraine and in
00:13:55Poland, they should rest on the side of the road, then we can
00:13:59talk about the future, in times
00:14:02of misery, this is a wonderful period to
00:14:05allow the immortal Portnikov
00:14:09to engage in intellectual gymnastics
00:14:12around these issues. In fact, the world has long since developed
00:14:16a recipe for dealing with madmen, like
00:14:19Trump, Marine Le Pen, Alice
00:14:22Weidel, Jordan Bardella and other madmen who cannot
00:14:26understand that the world is not playing this tug-of-war that
00:14:30they propose, the world, the world needs stability,
00:14:33the economy needs stability, well, and another thing, how Trump
00:14:37was going to solve the problem of gasoline prices,
00:14:40by bringing in diesel, diesel concerns about
00:14:433-4% of the US
00:14:46population, and how will he lower the price of gasoline, it has already
00:14:50jumped to almost $5, this is... his
00:14:53political funeral music. Mr.
00:14:56Roman, well, we have about a minute and a half left for our conversation.
00:15:00Still, what should Ukraine do, can we afford to go into
00:15:03such an open conflict with Trump, or do we still
00:15:07place great hopes for changes after November 3rd?
00:15:11And your forecast, what will happen if
00:15:14Ukraine does not comply with these demands, in fact,
00:15:18in the near future, I don't know, two
00:15:19months.
00:15:22Ukraine will not comply with these demands and will do
00:15:25absolutely the right thing, this is my conviction, second,
00:15:29President Zelensky needs to be on air less often,
00:15:31this role should be taken by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, politicians,
00:15:35parliamentarians, and so on. Third, we need to develop
00:15:38a common position with the Europeans, who were also set up in Florida,
00:15:42and from this position, without shouting,
00:15:46screaming, and I say again, fill the air less now,
00:15:48we don't need to give reasons to Trump or all
00:15:51these companies of madmen from Washington, about whom
00:15:55we have long talked, that this is a smokescreen,
00:15:58which they are setting up in the current situation of the negotiation process,
00:16:02to use Ukraine. Well, Europe in this regard, and all
00:16:05this shouting, why are you asking
00:16:08me this question for the third time, what should
00:16:11Ukraine do, because everyone thinks
00:16:15intelligence data, supplies, first, they don't help
00:16:18and don't supply, but they sell, they get hard cash for
00:16:22it, let them try to sell everything they
00:16:26are peddling to Ukraine today to anyone else, by the way,
00:16:29these are not first-rate things, that's first, secondly,
00:16:3399% of intelligence information
00:16:35on...
00:16:38Great Britain, France and partners in the so-called
00:16:41family of five sisters,
00:16:43without the United States of America, what can they
00:16:47say to that? I understand that not everyone in the world knows this, and therefore
00:16:51one can peddle anything in this regard. People who
00:16:55deal with these things, they know, America's role
00:16:58in this war is 0, 0, in
00:17:01principle, from the moment Trump came, he began
00:17:04to cut off this influence, he cut it off, what else
00:17:07does he need? Let him go peacefully, lose the elections
00:17:10on the third, and what to do with him, let the
00:17:14Americans decide, and one more thing, these things like, I'll go, give
00:17:18me 60 days, I'll go to the elections, what 60
00:17:21days, Ukraine needs at least a year and a half to
00:17:24prepare for elections, otherwise everyone will be jailed, Ukraine does
00:17:28not have a working voter register, what 60
00:17:31days will be enough for him for elections, you understand, and here it is the same
00:17:35ignorance, instead of asking people who understand
00:17:38this, this was already shown to everyone during the negotiations
00:17:42in Minsk, there are no 60 days, no
00:17:45half a year, this is the minimum needed to set up
00:17:49the system, thank you, thank you, thank you, this is certainly a topic for the next
00:17:52conversation, and we are always very happy to communicate with you, thank you, Roman
00:17:56Bezsmertny, politician, diplomat, historian, was a guest of the Ukrainian
00:17:59Focus,
00:18:06as to how to... will have a possible attack from Russia. On October 12 in Warsaw,
00:18:10the Supreme Commander of the Allied Armed Forces in
00:18:14Europe, Alexus Grinkevich, will present. This is one of the main events at the Warsaw
00:18:17Security Forum. The theory of victory implies a quick
00:18:21response and the use of innovative technologies. And
00:18:24prior to this, Grinkevich already gave an interview to our colleagues
00:18:27Steve P. Wald. Let's listen to
00:18:29a fragment.
00:18:32First, we have a theory, and we are ready to
00:18:35implement it. And therefore allies. and the peoples of the alliance
00:18:38should feel confident and know that we are in control.
00:18:42Second, any potential adversary must also know that we
00:18:46are in control and come to the conclusion that they do not want to confront
00:18:49us, because the alliance is ready to act if
00:18:53it is necessary for our own defense, to protect every
00:18:57inch of our territory. And third, again, we are
00:19:01a defensive alliance, so we have no desire to
00:19:05escalate the situation here and no need to
00:19:08do so, all we need is to
00:19:11make sure no one can threaten us.
00:19:14Grinkevich's presentation will begin at 1:00 PM Warsaw time,
00:19:172:00 PM Kyiv time. Watch it live
00:19:21with translation into Ukrainian, on the Slava YouTube channel and on the air
00:19:25of the Ukrainian TV channel Espreso. What is already
00:19:28known about the theory of victory in the next
00:19:30material.
00:19:37Integration of modern technologies into traditional military power.
00:19:41This is how Alexus Grinkevich's theory of victory can be briefly
00:19:44described. The text of the document has been kept completely secret until
00:19:48today, but some of its provisions have still become
00:19:51known to the press. Thus, Bloomberg , citing
00:19:54sources, reports: "NATO's new strategy" is a so-called
00:19:57roadmap for action in case of a Russian attack on alliance
00:20:01countries.
00:20:04The goal is to deter a potential adversary and prevent
00:20:07war. If an attack occurs, NATO must be
00:20:11ready to stop the invasion, show superiority, and defeat
00:20:14enemy forces. Special attention is paid to strengthening the defense
00:20:18of the eastern flank, increasing defense spending, and training
00:20:22troops.
00:20:25At the center of the strategy are new technologies, including
00:20:28autonomous drones and target detection systems using
00:20:31artificial intelligence. The Alliance plans to deter a Russian attack with
00:20:35ground forces, cheap drones, and minimally
00:20:39manned systems. The next step is to destroy the control systems
00:20:43of the Russian army, so that it cannot effectively
00:20:46coordinate combat operations.
00:20:51At the same time, the document emphasizes the defensive
00:20:53nature of NATO. The Alliance seeks to avoid provocations, but at the same
00:20:57time is ready to jointly counter hybrid
00:21:00threats, from cyberattacks to actions aimed at
00:21:03destabilizing
00:21:04society.
00:21:08Grinkevich's theory of victory is not only a step-by-step response to
00:21:12threats from Russia, but also a warning against the Kremlin's bellicose
00:21:15rhetoric, including threats of invasion, violations of
00:21:19airspace by military aircraft, helicopters and
00:21:22drones, as well as regular hybrid attacks. There was no
00:21:25detailed joint mechanism of action before, but the
00:21:29development of the strategy itself was not without discussions,
00:21:32among the questions were where to invest money and what exactly stands
00:21:36behind security
00:21:37expenditures?
00:21:41Earlier, the media reported that the US had sent questionnaires
00:21:45to NATO allies, all to find out how much they
00:21:49spend on defense and whether they support Donald
00:21:52Trump's policy. This was supposed to help Washington decide
00:21:55whether to reduce American troops in Europe. Separately, the states
00:21:59asked how many additional troops partners could
00:22:03provide for NATO's
00:22:04common defense.
00:22:09I will add that the Alliance's defense strategy is constantly
00:22:12evolving. Thus, in 2014, after
00:22:15the annexation of Crimea and the beginning of the war in Donbas, NATO began
00:22:19to strengthen its eastern flank defense, in particular, in
00:22:222016 during the summit in Warsaw, member states
00:22:25decided to deploy multinational military
00:22:28units in Poland and the Baltic
00:22:30states.
00:22:33Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine forced NATO
00:22:37to significantly rethink its defense. At the summits in Madrid in
00:22:402022 and in Vilnius in
00:22:432023, allies agreed to defend
00:22:47every inch of the alliance's territory and prepare
00:22:51over 300,000 troops for rapid
00:22:54deployment. Separately, military presence was expanded in Bulgaria,
00:22:58Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia. In
00:23:002024, the Alliance's main mission became, and I quote: "To make
00:23:04it impossible for a potential aggressor to have any window
00:23:08of opportunity for attack." And already in 2026,
00:23:12a battalion tactical group led by Sweden began to be based
00:23:16in Finland. Yulia Hunko, Elections in Ukraine are not.
00:23:50Tetyana, greetings to you, good afternoon, good
00:23:52afternoon, greetings, greetings from
00:23:56Brussels, Tetyana, what is the reaction
00:23:59of the European Union to Trump's deal with Putin regarding
00:24:03diesel fuel supplies? Please,
00:24:06the floor is yours.
00:24:09So, today in Luxembourg, indeed, the foreign ministers of the member
00:24:13states of the European Union gathered, and the Minister
00:24:16of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andriy Sibiga, was also present
00:24:20at the meeting. And indeed, before the meeting began,
00:24:23the ministers approached journalists and all said that
00:24:27an energy truce might be a good idea, but Russia
00:24:30does not adhere to it itself, and until Russia adheres to
00:24:34it, this idea will not work. And the conclusion
00:24:37drawn by almost all ministers who spoke to the media was that
00:24:41pressure on Russia needs to be increased, and by the way, I want to report good
00:24:45news, it became known just a few minutes ago
00:24:48that... the European Union has indeed
00:24:52approved a new list of sanctions against Russia.
00:24:55The foreign ministers in Luxembourg made this
00:24:59decision, it concerns about 1600
00:25:02new sanction lines, these are
00:25:05both individuals and legal entities, mostly those associated
00:25:09with the Russian arms and
00:25:12ammunition manufacturing sector, and
00:25:15indeed, returning to the ministers' reaction, they also
00:25:19said... that new sanctions
00:25:22should be applied against Russia so that it finally stops
00:25:26the war against Ukraine. Russia started
00:25:29this war and we need to pressure it to stop it, said the EU's chief
00:25:32diplomat, Callas, and if possible, let's listen to her
00:25:36direct
00:25:36speech.
00:25:40Russia started this war, we must not forget this, we must
00:25:44pressure Russia to stop, because if it
00:25:47stops, Ukrainians will not have to take.
00:26:09Another topic that the foreign ministers will address
00:26:12today and which they raised during their approaches to the media
00:26:16is the opening of clusters for Ukraine and
00:26:19Moldova. This issue is being decided today, and
00:26:23the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary, Anita Orban,
00:26:26approached the media and said that she is very happy that today
00:26:30the parliament... the Verkhovna Rada is going to vote on amendments
00:26:33to the Law on Education agreed with Hungary, and these
00:26:36amendments will concern increasing the rights of national
00:26:40minorities, those who speak the languages
00:26:43of the European Union, meaning this will not apply to Russian,
00:26:46and today, in fact, Europeans are waiting for
00:26:49the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada to adopt these amendments to the Law on
00:26:53Education, and education, and immediately after that, at
00:26:565 PM local time in Luxembourg,
00:27:00a committee meeting will convene.
00:27:04permanent representatives, permanent representatives of the EU, these
00:27:08ambassadors of the European Union in European
00:27:12institutions, and they will have to make a decision already
00:27:15about the final part of opening
00:27:19clusters two and three for Ukraine and Moldova. Tomorrow, if
00:27:22everything goes well, an intergovernmental
00:27:26conference will be convened, both for Ukraine and for Moldova, and these clusters
00:27:30will finally be opened, and this process will finally
00:27:33be completed. If today the Ukrainian parliament
00:27:37adopts the law on education, changes to it, then
00:27:40intergovernmental conferences will be held tomorrow at 6
00:27:43p.m. There will be a Ukrainian intergovernmental conference and around
00:27:477 p.m. the Moldovan one. After that, negotiations will begin
00:27:51on the opening of the fourth and fifth
00:27:54clusters for Ukraine, and in fact
00:27:57today Anita Orban, when she approached
00:28:00the journalists, she said that she was very happy that
00:28:03Ukraine and Hungary finally came to an understanding, so let's hope that they
00:28:07will also come to an understanding regarding the next clusters, studio. I
00:28:11want to go back to the topic of hybrid attacks, because Radoslaw Sikorski,
00:28:14the head of Polish diplomacy, was talking about this just
00:28:17before. He drew attention to the growing scale of Russian
00:28:21hybrid actions aimed against European states, noting that
00:28:24NATO must be prepared for casualties. He said this
00:28:28in an interview with the Financial Times, this is written by European Pravda
00:28:32and... Sikorski noted that along with the increasing number of
00:28:35incidents, the probability that they
00:28:38will lead to human casualties also
00:28:41I quote: if people start dying, we will have to have
00:28:45another very serious conversation with NATO, Sikorski
00:28:48warned, and the minister also called on European
00:28:51allies to limit Russian diplomatic
00:28:54presence. I no longer have
00:28:57consulates, but other states do. He also
00:29:01supported limiting the number of tourist visas issued
00:29:05to Russian citizens, well, this is a topic that you also tell us
00:29:09is being discussed in Brussels. Thank you, this
00:29:12was our correspondent in Brussels Tetiana
00:29:14Vysotska.
00:29:22Europe should strengthen its support for Ukraine in response to Russian
00:29:25hybrid attacks against the states of the continent. This
00:29:28will help demonstrate to the Russian Federation that even attempts.
00:30:02Lithuanian Defense Minister Dovile Šakalienė. Well, while we
00:30:06are waiting to connect with our guest, we continue
00:30:09to follow the events that are taking place at the Warsaw Security
00:30:13Forum, and the statements of Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine. He
00:30:16says that Ukraine is ready
00:30:19to sign guarantees for an energy truce, but
00:30:22Russia must also demonstrate that it agrees to it. Zelensky
00:30:26stated this during his address at the Warsaw
00:30:29Security Forum. He said that Ukraine is waiting for
00:30:33details of negotiations between Americans and
00:30:36Russians, and we can already continue our conversation with our
00:30:40guest, Šakalienė Dovile, our
00:30:43guest, former Minister of Defense
00:30:45of Lithuania.
00:30:48Good day, we welcome you, we
00:30:50welcome you.
00:30:55Good afternoon. And how do they assess the decision in Lithuania?
