Approach and pushed through the annexation of crime in from ukraine. So kind of me is ukrainian exiles that im exciting will never be acceptable, yada deal. So i was born an independent ukraine. I grew up in crimea independent ukraine. I dont see crime me as different. I do not see it as part of some other state or a little while ago so that welcome to the day. Neither free no fair. Thats the verdict. Western capital is to have delivered on russias president ial election. Moscow says automated person was re elected with 87 percent of the votes for the poll was how follow him that cracked down on political opponents, leaving mister fulton facing no meaningful opposition. It was a try, im send a lot any pollutant who took to the stage a day of to being re elected russian president s in the land slide. When the victory coincided with celebration, smoking the 10 Year Anniversary of the annexation of crimea natural, you know, flying goes by the other election candidates whod been allowed to stand against him. He sang, his supporters for when most had predicted earlier, he claimed his victory was rooted in democratic principles and you most, its for them when the, the source of authority in the nation, which is the russian people that i knew you that i see, you know, while most most divides willing to talk, express the support for peace and there was some public discontent. There is my hope that the other candidates would have better results or i dont expect any particular changes in their bulletin about that. There were no candidates, my life, and so i voted against them all. I would like you trained to be free and the troops have you been drawn from their germany called the vote, a pseudo election with voting, taking place in occupied you cried. Violating international law. The violin, the election in russia was an election without the choices. The election process not only shows hootons nefarious behavior towards his own people, but also violates the charter of the united nations. I try to find nazi when washington also pointed out, the lack of democratic choice stay to it would not congratulate food to a this was an incredibly on democratic process. And certainly him being president of russia. It does not excuse him, of is of his talk or see the outlines including china, north korea and venice zabeda did congratulate the russian president with the victory grunting putin and not the 6 year to his net quarter century in deva, towards the top proceed themes and stuff people who professed i said okay, if i chang code teaches the henry i chose and just center for Global Affairs of the Johns Hopkins school, different funds. International studies is written extensively on russia past and present to welcome to the dublin professor. I mean, why does the bottom approach soon fail . He needs to go through what we all assume to be a sure rod of election. Well, dictators like to do that decatur like to stress that they have uh, connection to the people that their rules, their power does not necessarily come from god. Although of course, claims that connection as well. So the Russian Orthodox church, but from the public mandate, i mean even style and have elections for this matter in the ussr. So its not whole, not surprising that, that people like who would want to be electives in quotation marks again on the human rights. Im just entering by who he needs to impress, give them that hes. Hes grateful. Empower appears to be absolute to well, you know, who did style it and want to impress when he had to the elections when he will see or any number of skill. Sylvie, general secretaries, so they, they like go the legitimacy that comes from public boat vote of Public Confidence in them even though the polls may be red. Um, its just not all that unusual in, right. Come in a stanford in the 1990s they have the same thing with the leaders getting 99 percent of the vote. And then you have to be how much im paying. What did he promised about as im easy minded to deliver . Well, he had a good kind of a campaign i have uh, he had the state of the Union Address recently in which he set out the various new goals. He highlighted his results to bring the war and ukraine to victorious and highlighted. Great are investments and old walks of life or so russia will turn into paradise on his watch. That is sort of what he promised in his way to the state of the Union Address. But no, he did not really complain in the other, in the sense of going from city to city because he felt he did not need to do that. There was a, some rush opposition groups. They organize a space noon protest against a coach. And i was that the only way to register opposition and did anybody pay any attention . A rational position is always trying to come up with various methods of supposing the regime through different means for example. And one of the previous selections no more than a. So organization promote something called smartvault chain, where people would uh, both or candidates, selected by nevada named his team in order to prove that would be supported. United russia was not popular and that did not really succeed all that much. And that will this particular protest both to entail people coming out of the room on sunday to register their support for nevada. Ne, more for freedom in russia and against me. And its great, its greatest impact was perhaps to what people see each other. So those people who came out into this, into the Russian Point stations are sort of mainly in europe actually, so that theyre not alone. And thats important, as it is a kind of a moral support exercise more than anything else that might have practical consequences for russia itself. A lot of my purse and is what a 71 years old is, gets a, a new 6 year term. Is anyone daring to consider what a post coach in russia might look like . Im afraid not. I mean, we, we keep talking about what it might look like and who might possibly succeed him. We know its not going to be done through boeing books. You will have to be carried uh from the criminal in c 1st and then of course the power struggle with them too. But how long this will take is anyones guess couldnt, can run again and again, 6 years time. And you could uh, go on for another 20 years and he asked me, so i think its too early to really envision russia after. And it will come one day and were all hoping for the russia. Its somewhere there in the darkness. The moment im not seeing the light of the end of the tunnel quite yet. You mentioned josephs down in a couple of times there and he makes it to tons and tons you 9 foot and well pass mr. Stalez who rules that the soviet union for 29. He is. Do you think this is an important milestone for him . Oh, maybe i dont know what to dreams. All we know, for example, that she is an invasion of ukraine, was perhaps the most of aided by an idea that hes trying to build up some kind of historical legacy as a unifier of what he sees as rational lambs. So being, you know, the longest serving russia and in present history, is that something to drive seem, i dont know, but you know, hes certainly not going to relinquish power that you know, for sure. All right, i thank you so much progress. The 2nd i read shane customer, Henry Kissinger sent for Global Defense you its not been time. Yeah. Since months ago, illegally onyx to try and make the occupation follow to an invasion with using troops and didnt when russian insignia it was the beginning of a decade, long boat with ukraine, which culminated in a full scale invasion 2 years ago from his location on the blacks, he makes it a strategically important asset. The financial themselves is a key base for naples fleets and is used to safe god, russia, security interests in the region. Try, man is also home to ethnic russians and to ukrainians as well as indigenous crime being taught us and others essentially as the talk to as a for, to present their identity as crime. It was invited by various powers. Ive actually pulled follows tots as an exile who dream of one day returning to the home. Its ramadan and keith, many of those praying here are far from home, such as these my of course the 33 year old is taught an ethnic group, native to crimea, yada new york. I was born an independent ukraine. I grew up in crimea in independent ukraine. I dont see crimea as different. I do not see it as part of some other state or a little while ago. So that is my list from you after rush occupied the peninsula and 24 to the senior join to you create an armed forces and now performs and a military ensemble here singing a song in his native language and owed to premier going home even to visit has become impossible, a glitch center of the line. So 2014, the people were free in crimea. That is if you crying didnt really help us. There at least it didnt interfere and no one told us what holidays to celebrate. What days of remembrance we should celebrate or not, what language we should speak and who to vote for, who not to vote for someone who to praise or not to praise. Come off, but nobody told us this will install them. Yeah, godaddy o. Powers have been living in crimea for hundreds of years. Understanding they were persecuted and deported. The collapse of the soviet union allowed them to return. That freedom didnt last. Since russias occupation in 20142 thirds are again being persecuted, making up the Largest Group of political prisoners. A round, 50000 towers are reported to have left crimea since 2014. While the Ukrainian Government estimates more than 500000 russians were brought in. When russian president Vladimir Putin annex crimea, she promised the lives of ordinary people would improve. Instead, sections of compact with the economy and democratic rights had been lost by cham wesley. Should we see the destruction of culture and heritage, the impossibility of using ones native language and educational institutions, origin, public space. So therefore, these are very important things when we describe how people live and cry me on. Good. Id say that is, its the territory of feel, but thats a better thought as to who example formula to shape a says when putting invaded crimea, the world looked away. The occupation has seemed to have paved the way for the full scale invasion of 2022. We have, for all today liberating crimea seems like a daunting challenge. But for ukraines government its not up for debate. Thats great news from best buy channel or best. No doubt that only liberation of absolutely all types of trees will bring us peace. This probably will get, get this phrase mail to us. There will be no peace until they can return home. Yeah, the last time that i believe in ella, and hope that everything is the same. With his permission. Try me. I will still return to ukraine and there will be safe access and passage for someone like me know, stop by us and well catch ya. Crimea until the 1st few, a prolonged occupation could mean the end of their people. Like say, going to ranko as an opposition member of the ukrainian parliaments and joins us from cape. Welcome to the w a. The issue of crime me a, i think has become subsumed in the why the will certainly for the outside world. I wonder if you think the training in government is doing all it can to liberate crime you. It is definitely a great now government is doing everything we can to ukraine is doing and we can to restore completely ukraine entered through integrity and the means to the bread crate me on is a deliberate note of crime in a realistic goal. I know, inevitably you will say yes, but with, as we, as these will process at the 2 he and bach increasingly what were hearing people saying, well, russia has that. Now, lets deal with this full scale invasion and essentially let them have that. No, its impossible to let them know who they is because that means that there is no international and there is no international law. So its not just for your cravings, for everybody. Its important. And yes, it is realistic, but the question is about, im not telling you that these will happen tomorrow about im sure these will happen one day. And you know, it can be quite unpredictable and quickly. I think many people just 34 years in the fall, buried in the wall. All to do would not believe that it would happen. So uh, sooner or later, crania will be under control. I said, but now allow me to say and has been re elected for another, a 6 year term and can go on and on, on sales. You guys charge me to the interrupt you because i think to use the word real attitude, no try to tow. Okay. There was no relation to the Russian Federation. He was not elected, which was coordination of freshman sign. You can call it in any way, but it is dictated to shoot and the normal expense in russia. Sions, and political enemies are the cubes oh, in prison. So we cant call until the accidental. Okay. Either way. Is that for another 6 years, at least im time go on for 20. If you choose isnt, doesnt die as folks is full 70 way that russia well relinquish a crime 80. Thank. As i think the net so you definitely put in price to show great need as a hes ultimate to price. But again, uh that doesnt mean much for me on which means definitely pushes fresh and will never give up creamy. Im going to really yes, i understand this, but i am showing that. So normally the Russian Federation will fall from like it happened with the russian empire then with some of your junior, and these new generation of freshman partner will also fall apart. And i dont have any johnson this would happen during the weekend. So oh would you happen to. Ready interview, i didnt know how it will happen. I know for sure that it will happen. And one more thing about the so called elections, i just want to raise your attention. The kitchen is no more mentioned to me like president , because the people term with such kind of friend talk to you to on pump sewage. We showed with beans elections include, you know, through project breakdown territories. And all for us to you, there was a resolution on the bond address. Im not comfortable. Youre saying if you would go for another to him, he would be in legitimate and he is no age limit, right . Im again, forgive me for, for speaking about crime, its because i read, im looking at it from outside and perhaps its different looking at to the situation from inside and from within the wall. But we dont hear so much a boxes anymore. Im 11. 00 does after 10 years of occupation, all that any Resistance Force is less than crime me. And yes, we see that and we have information from great media and went home and ration which i held in grania with those. Also with the hope of resistance. We shoes branding that its really hard to, to, inc, written in because there is no and russia use uh, yeah, torturing people. Ready keep changing, been to jail with no reason. So with no justification. So its very difficult. But still there are people in crime. Yeah. Or waiting for ukraine to be back. Right. So president , as a landscape replaced is the supreme military come on the recently is the president in south doing it off to secure this victory . And this will i think the president is doing his best to come under and choose to know. I have a lot of questions. How prison savanski prepared the country for the war. Ok, right. Entity, tom, the information the treasury is going to attack and so on. I have a lot of questions about these 1st 3 years in the office. And i have to start up in the asian can use doing oregons best to i really believe me please. To speaking about the is the change of sup, remitted to me colanda. Im happy with this move now because i adopt a new supreme military general, mr. Serious key, hes competitive because mr is illusion. It was very respect, continue creating a society that was to offer, you know, kind of a lot of peelers on reach you and some society. Wheres lean on, you know, and the believe of you probably knowledge victory a to so that to that was important to, at least from psychology, important to you. Rock president made his decision on we have you separate. Come on, the final word on backup that youre getting from the west. Billions is at the moment stoled in the United States congress because of a domestic policy. Is that the you has today announced this a new 5000000000 euro trunk of funding for ukraine. Your thoughts on those 2 issues, please. A very worried about whats going on in the United States and its very bad to that ukraine became part of the internal political struggle. And these something unto is still in the congress. I hope that us congressmen will finally make a decision which is in the best interest of being at the state because ukraine is fight and not just for our sales. And also on behalf of the home for world and for international order, and doing the best interest of the United States to and speaking a mature, i want to thank you with being leaders. Jim. I need from the countries were helping you granting the situation and you know, is trying to step in when the United States are wavering and at least to in time. Finally, to finish these discussions in the United States. So i want to include finalize, and i hope that United States will fix their debates as soon as possible. That depends on these. Thank you for talking to us. We wish you well, your credit in a position legislation.
