Ambassador welcome provincial, you think. If we buy me, you have a really position, really interesting position and are in a difficult undertaking. Right now, because you are representing ukraine at the- u n and ukraine is in one of the most precarious positions right now before we get into where we all. Let me be clear up the beginning, how did the stock

and what is the cause of what we are seeing in ukraine? Where do you want a long story or even a short version? I guess what we're on ivory congress, so hungry is below the short one is putting came to power and he probably promise himself that he would restore the soviet empire and ever since we are

in the state of war, and now we are in a state of hot water humming. Actually, the war started not on the twenty fourth of February started back in two thousand fourteen and you you, you are in a position now where, as you shall I like that, you call a hot war, because it's a war that people can see very clearly that there are many people who have been killed. There are tanks rolling in its it's it's a different type of war, though, because everybody agrees that ukraine is in the right. Everybody agrees that russia's doing something wrong, and yet because of russia being russia, it seems like the united nations and many other countries are scared to overt act for fear of causing a world war. How how do you than us

for help. And what are you? What are you hope will be achieved if countries you know how to balance this precarious position, but I think that, as a matter of fact for me, we already in the third world war, which may be quaint of crazy to say, but the twenty first century is now the twentieth century, where we had these standard wars with tanks and crossing the borders. We I hybrid world and you don't really need to cross the border to attack the united states. You can do that in the cyber space. You know all you can do like a terrorism or financial terrorism. So basically we are there in the united nations and the united nations is a product or for three old gentlemen among which were Joseph Stalin. So it's not perfect and we still in the hundreds day of the war, we still have russia sitting in front of us and we still pretend that we have to respect it and they want a resource

russian federation is because what I do have respect, but they have to respect that this very important correction because they may possess the nuclear arsenal and they are really paranoia russia may use nukes against them. So is is your argument then, that russia shouldn't be sitting as one of those permanent members of the EU and first of all, russia is not a permanent member. If you ask me, I mean russia occupied the seat of the soviet union back a ninety nine july, in the same way that russia occupy georgia. The same way russia occupied urchins, new straight in moldova. The same way russia invaded syria, so Russia occupies occupies, occupies- and we all complacent with that- I mean that we bear complacency, that until the knight of the twenty third and all of a sudden, we were surprised that it happened. I mean which was imminent for thirty years, but you do you think that maybe this has been.

you know it it. Everything in hindsight is twenty. Twenty one and, and I've read you know some historians who would argue that you know they could have been away for the world to bring russia into the fold. From the very beginning some say the problem was the fact that russia was pushed out. Russia felt like they were being eyesight. It felt like nature, was encroaching on their territory. If putin was brought into the fold, he would have a vested interest in being part of the world. Do. Do you see any credence in that

Well, you know, I saw many criminal knowledge is to soviet tolerances, they call their called often and they had to know where their vision of the world. The same way like germany was to note is north stream. You know they saw the world through the tunnel of north stream and we were all of us. We were guilty of letting Putin role as a dictator of unprecedented scale in european, probably hitler of only the one we can compare with. No, I don't believe in their business and I believe in the need to fight the virus and russian. Putting these and is this miss covered, but it's only the in international politics, calvino right and an added it is taking its toll is well. You know, you use your countries in a position where every day we read about how russia is is changing its tactics, you know it's slow becoming a warm attrition as opposed to a direct assault. You know in ukraine, as in spain,

the world and how and how you fighting back. You know your president has been their stay in the country in old, despite what everyone thought he would do when you get to the point. The way it feels like european nations, all almost encouraging ukraine chew in some way you know give up a piece of territory. You see many european nations saint Ukraine, maybe you should just give them the don bus region just give them that part. That has already expressed some sort of interest in becoming part of russia. You have said that that is

complete non starter? Why subsidies to me now I, unless everybody's amnesia keynote, let me remind it what happened in nineteen thirty eight. When Hitler signed munich agreement, we see chamberlain the new york times. Literary literally ran an article in enclosed from it. The world has never been pregnant with hope as it is now and then what happened to us like a lost one thieves, something's territory in nazi troops moved in and then in less than twelve months, the second world war started and the whole chestnut mackay was invaded. So basically, if people are not very cognizant of the history lessons, they have to go back to school, secular- and I said you t of all of us to make them studied the hidden

Are you worried that european countries may at some point say this is too much for us and we don't know if we're gonna back ukraine through this, because we ve seen again through history. Russia is not afraid to fight long painful wars. You know it seems like Vladimir Putin's on a future to send his troops out onto them. lines and end and have them perish, doesn't have to worry about an election that he's losing you don't approval is not his issue, and so, if you're in that position, you know you could innocent is in a space where you have. Your your your people who make it to demoralize. Do you know that you have a nation that is constantly bombarded? You know? Obviously the us is helping you, but but what would you hope the next steps would be, then? Will

Where do you see the world moving towards to help? Ukraine will travel? You just came from europe onto your aided, yeah yeah. You see we saw it was your own eyes that europe is not really a homogeneous, is so diverse. Second bouquet of nations sprites, so it would be kind of over regulation to say that europe believes europe says we have wonderful, wonderful nations like ball and, like the uk, like Portugal, age, I stepped up to the portuguese, are best alike: baltic states. They will fight heart until the very end to defeat the russian despotism. You know we have some countries that got used to leave in conflict for so long that they are of context all together, but the thing is that if we do not defeat Putin,

isn't today right if we will be satisfied with just a military defeat of russia and ukraine, and we will let these dictator to regrow he's chopped back clause. They will hit all of you again lacking five seven years from now and that we all pay triple price for it. So, even from the point of view of fur Investing money in ukrainian victory, investing money in ukraine, victor, Is investing money in your own security and you should be all grateful that it is the recreational soldiers, not the british soldiers, not american soldiers who are dying in the front defending the collective democratic world

you know. So I have to remind about that to all her hullo yours and to all people in europe and north america, and not only there, have turbines all africans who will suffer from the food shortages in two months from now. A lot of people don't know about that new. I have so many people complain that food prices going up many people in the middle east and africa struggling with you, no shortage of wheat. Breeders, you know that the most important food sources- many people- don't know how much of that grain is coming from ukraine for the entire world. There are countries. There are countries that are. Seventy percent dependent on ukrainian grain in those countries are devastated with civil wars, always droughts, always climate calamitous. They have no way to go on the market and by great from somewhere else. So I mean from that. For them, it is a matter of seawater survival and

The fact is that we have twenty one million tonnes of grain sitting to be exported right, and we can do that because of one crazy little person, in in does not really allow us to do that. You know, and that's that's amazing. I mean amazing and one of the jobs. We have to do one of the things we are doing currently in the united nations. We are desperately seeking the way how to save millions of people who are literally on the threat of dying of starvation, ten thousand miles away from from ukraine, and that is why these conflict has so many implications that, unlike in two thousand fourteen where we, when we were all happy to have one hundred nations, voting in favour of the turtle.

Until we train, we now have overwhelming majority. We have one hundred forty one nations that voted on this second of march and that identify russia as an aggressor state. You knew there were only four countries. Such wonderful countries is north korea and Syria who voted in support of russia and it s very important is very good because the world finally understood that it's not just about ukraine, bout, the entire collective democratic community of nations.
