German chancellor schles has clearly
said that we cannot we can never accept
that Espionage activities take place in
the country quote

fullscale Invasion Ukraine’s
mobilization effort is struggling amid
flagging enthusiasm however a
68-year-old Ukrainian Commander who’s in
the thick of the war refuses to let any
challenge come his way more in our next
report TI
Alexander teran’s mobile artillery unit
isn’t officially part of Ukraine’s
military but that hasn’t stopped his men
from destroying Russian
targets we get by thanks to the pension
fund says the 68-year-old commander
whose call sign is Grandpa the all
volunteer unit called the step wolves is
compromised of dozens of Ukrainian men
mostly over 60 years old who are
considered too old to be drafted but
still want to fight for their country
the unit also includes younger men who
have been ruled unfit to fight roving
Behind Enemy Lines with truck-mounted
rocket launchers they take orders from
field commanders and work with other
troops despite lacking official support
from the military the unit is funded by
donations and is stocked with faulty
rounds they repair themselves as well as
Weapons captured from the enemy so far
efforts to officially integrate into the
military have been unsuccessful Teran
said during a recent visit by Reuters to
their base in the Southeastern zapar
region they were seen preparing rocket
rounds later fired by troops from
another unit this 63-year-old volunteer
fighter goes by the call sign
Zoro the commanders that provide us with
targets are happy they give us more
targets and help us with ammunition
however they can we move out and help
them Ukraine’s mobilization effort is
struggling amid flagging enthusiasm more
than two years into Russia’s full-scale
Invasion with Russian troops making
progress in the East and analysts say
Ukraine’s shortage of Manpower needs to
be addressed earlier this month
Ukrainian President Vladimir zalinski
approved new measures allowing the
military to call up more troops and
strengthen penalties for evasion he also
reduced the mobilization age from 27 to
25 Tran who has been fighting since 2014
said coercion would be unlikely to beat
genuine enthusiasm from a potential
recruit beat him with a stick if you
want but he won’t fight he said in the
United States has procured 81 outdated
Soviet era combat aircrafts from
kazakistan the purpose behind the US
acquisition remains undisclosed but
there is speculation that these
aircrafts will be potentially deployed
in Ukraine where similar jets are still
in service there are reports which
indicate that the Armed Forces of
Ukraine May dissemble uh them for spare
parts or even use the obsolete air
frames as decoys at
airfields now as part of the process
back in October it was announced that
the kazak government was offering 117
Soviet era fighter and bomber aircrafts
for sale by auction this included the MC
31 interceptors the mc27 fighter bombers
the mc29 among others produced in the
1970s and
80s the declared value of the sale was 1
billion um and which is about $1.7
million averaging 19 ,300 per aircraft
now further among the aircraft acquired
the mikoyan M31 known as a supersonic
Interceptor crucial for defending Soviet
airspace during the Cold War stands out
the mc27 derived from the mc23 served as
a ground attack aircraft while the mig29
excelled in air-to-air combat and
remains operational in some air
forces the Su 24 or the suco 24 and all
where the tax iCal bomber despite its
age continues to serve in various Air
Forces including the Russian Aerospace
forces and Ukrainian Air Force
historically kazakistan has maintained
strong ties with Russia its former
Soviet Ally however geopolitical shifts
particularly since Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine has seen kazakistan aligning
more closely with Western Nations
drawing criticism from some quarters in
Russia so as kazakistan upgrades its
military capabilities it’s growing
engagement with Western
Nations signals a departure from its
historical ties with Moscow the US
Secretary of uh State Anthony blink’s
visit to kazakistan in March 2023
underscored United States support for
its independence and territorial
Integrity Russia has W of freezing us
Assets in the country including property
and cash of US citizens and investors
and this comes as senior Russian
officials voice strong opposition to the
bill allowing the conf confiscation of
Russian assets the Kremlin deems such
actions illegal and WS of retaliation
should the United States proceed however
legal experts continue to debate the
legitimacy of such measures setting the
stage for a complex diplomatic and legal
standoff
[Music]
a closer look at the Frozen Russian
assets reveals a substantial sum
totaling almost $300 billion primarily
held in foreign currencies of the West
reuter’s calculations reveal that a
substantial amount of money is held in
European union and US assets along with
other countries the total amount of
foreign currency and gold reserves total
$612 billion while legally Frozen EU has
begun utilizing the interest generated
from these Holdings arguing for its
legality and necessity in supportting
supporting Ukrainian interests however
the utilization and potential seizure of
these assets POS significant risk to the
Global Financial landscape the standoff
threatens to set a precedent for the
weaponization of financial assets and
diplomatic conflicts critics warn of
potential economic Fallout including
destabilization of the US dollar as the
world’s dominant currency moreover
concerns arise over the unintended
consequences of such actions including
retaliation from other nations and the
potential breakdown of International
legal Norms as diplomatic efforts
continue the world watches closely aware
of the far-reaching implications of this
financial
standoff now Russia continues to make
advances in the battlefield but miss the
Russian advances in the ongoing War NATO
Chief Yen stoltenberg has made an
unannounced visit to Ukraine marking his

strike the type of missile is currently
being checked forensic Specialists are
carrying out the appropriate evaluations
to the send all services including the
state emergency service are currently
working to eliminate the consequences of
this strike yet another War Crime After
the primary conclusions are made
determining the type of weapon we will
be able to announce Skies over the
Baltic regions are becoming dangerous
for airplanes flights have been
reporting an increasing number of
missing of fake GPS signals right and
the culprit is Russia according to
Baltic leaders they’ve now warned that
Russia’s dangerous Maneuvers could cause
an air disaster soon Finn a has
suspended its flights to the Estonian
City for 1 month due to GPS
interference now the official statement
states that flights will remain
suspended between 29th of April and 31st
of May till they come up with an
alternative that doesn’t require GPS
altogether now this comes after two fin
air
flights heading to Estonia had to turn
back to Finland due to GPS interference
Estonian Minister described the act as a
Russian hybrid attack the GPS jamming or
blackout episodes Have Become regular
since 2022 according to Euro control the
European Organization for the safety of
air navigation and off late they’ve been
on the
rise now what is GPS jamming all modern
planes are built with equipment that
send and receive constant signals from
Global navigation satellite systems like
us global positioning system the GPS and
Europe’s Galileo this helps the pilot to
navigate during the course of the flight
now what GPS jamming involves is
overloading an aircraft signal equipment
with sustained interference that it can
no longer send or receive information
from its GPS systems a USB GPS users
Lobby group says Russia is regularly
attacking the aircraft passengers and
sovereignty of NATO countries around 985
GPS outages were recorded in in the
first 2 months of this year near the
Baltic this is seven times more than
cases recorded in the first 2 months of
2023 around
1,371 cases were reported in 2023
flights in and out of Britain are among
thousands that have been affected by
suspected Russian
jamming the GPS jamming sessions mostly
occur around Russia’s kenrad on Cliff a
key military post for Russia in fact
these signals are also impeding signals
using a used by boats in the Baltic Sea
to this effect Swedish Navy has also
warned about safety of
shipping in mid-march a military plane
carrying British defense secretary Grand
shars was hit by GPS jamming on its way
back from Poland over 2,300 Ryan Air
flights have reported incidents of GPS
interference since last August lava’s
air Baltic has reported similar problems
as
well Russia’s forces have made further
gains in at least three locations along
the Eastern front in Ukraine including
an advance in the northern K region
again highlighting kev’s need for
ammunition and weapons from the United
States and other allies Russia’s
tactical advances have increased
drastically and reflect the new Tempo on
the battlefield since the fall of DFA in
February earlier this year to discuss
matters further and how Russia plans to
keep proceeding for more than this we
are being joined by Dr Serge marov who’s
the former spokesman for President
Vladimir Putin for former member of the
Russian Parliament and director of The
Institute of political studies and
Russian political scientists joining us
right here on we on world is one a
pleasure to have you here Mr marov I
wanted to now immediately start getting
your thoughts on this Russia’s military
tactics talk to us about those as
Ukraine demands more air defense units
and Patriot missiles is Russia kind of
stepping up the pace before those
American weapons make it to the
Ukrainian front lines
again uh Russian army uh not increase
the offensive against Ukrainian Army
okay Russia don’t put it schedule
according to the schedule of the
American weaponary uh it’s no Russian
army still has no big offense and all
military analysts in the world expected
that such kind of big uh Russian
offensive could be on the summer time uh
but maybe no maybe yes nobody knows
exactly the Strategic uh uh operation in
Russian uh military General quar
headquarter but uh Russia now use the
tactic of so-called 2,000 small hits
against Ukrainian Army and Russia
waiting that in the some of the part of
the Ukrainian front it will be a
collapse of
Ukrainian military units and it’s
exactly what happening and the main
reason it’s not only some increasing of
the speed of Russia taking some of the
Frankly Speaking small small villages on
the uh in the Danes region region but
most important the reason of why it
happened it’s because Ukrainian uh
soldiers just left this part of the
brought uh and uh uh we know that it
will be more American weaponary but it
will be no more good Ukrainian soldiers
uh because if you uh look at the news
you can see that uh hundred of thousands
Ukrainian men now try to uh cross the
border and to leave Ukraine because uh
they don’t want uh to go to m by
mobilization to the front to take part
in those War because they understand
that Ukraine has no chance to win war
with Russia and also because I
understand this is not Ukrainian war
against Russia it’s American war against
Russia and Americans use uh ukrainians
as their proxy Army so to their life
interest of Biden Mr marov I just wanted
to now come in and these are things of
course they’ve been discussed ever since
2022 or February of that
year the world over or I would say at
least in certain parts of the world to
put it more correctly Russia is seen as
the aggressor here that Russia invaded
Ukraine in February 2022 this is the
third year of the war Russia continues
to pound Ukraine that is the narrative
which we see from some parts of the
world from your part of the world sir I
want to understand from you when you how
do you justify the actions which are
taking place on the front lines is does
Russia see this as its own territory
which it needs to seed again does Russia
see this as a threat from NATO that they
don’t want NATO on the front lines and
in case that is the case then what about
in Finland which also shares a border
with Russia and NATO forces are
positioned there as well but that is not
a point of contention between Russia and
Finland but Ukraine is how do you
differentiate the two and what is the
reason that Russia sees with its current
Onslaught uh it’s uh very simple Russia
doesn’t need new territories and Russia
doesn’t need territories with Ukraine
because Russia is the biggest country in
the world and we have a lot of
territories in the East which we uh
should you know economically develop and
so uh Russia what Russia need in Ukraine
uh to take away this real threat of the
new big war because we strongly believe
that United States occupy Ukraine from
2014 when Ukrainian overr last
democratically elected president of
Ukraine and Americans impose a
russophobic under Russia dictatorship to
the Ukrainian people and Americans ma
making anti-russia from uh Ukrainian
people from Ukrainian State and
Americans has a dream uh has plan to
create a very big strong kind Russia
from Ukraine and then to have very big
war so Russia started small War uh in
order to avoid big war in future so now
Russia will continue its military attack
until the moment when United States of
America who is real dictator of the
Ukraine would agree that uh this
violence uh uh with using both terrorist
methods creation or anti-russian from
the ukrainians who is Frankly Speaking
ethnically Russians 8% of them and this
is this plan of formation of anti Russia
will be stopped Putin call that is
dentification what mean generification
it means that all neonazi groups should
be prohibited and Ne neon groups used by
Americans for violence formation of
anti- russan so if Americans agree
Russia immediately will stop fighting Mr
marov uh I just want to now you know uh
put little more focus on what I asked
earlier if you can just pinpointed
answer that there are NATO forces in
Finland as well of course the Baltic
states are also NATO Nations what is the
specific issue when it comes to Ukraine
I understand there are very there are
cultural similarities when it comes to
Russia and Ukraine I understand the
Soviet Union uh uh you know uh the
common common factor there which also
has existed in the past but if we solely
look at it from the lens of NATO forces
they are positioned on several other
borders of Russia but when it comes to
the Ukrainian Russian border that is
where Russia does not want NATO forces
how do you draw that distinction what is
the issue if Ukraine also becomes a NATO
Nation because several other neighbors
of Russia are already part of
NATO it’s very easily from our point of
view Finland is anti-russian but
Democratic countries and finish that why
Finnish government will not send uh will
not start war against Russia because
finish government uh represent the
interest of uh Finnish people who wants
peace but in Ukraine we have American
dictatorship terroristic dictatorship
which use ukrainians as slaves and in
any moment when Americans want Ukrainian
prox Army to start war against Russian
and some of the Russian regions like
dbas and Crimea this war will be start
so this is the main difference Finland
is democratic country ukrainians under
the pressure of the American dictator uh
Mr marov also uh as you mentioned Russia
does not need more territories till when
do you feel Russia will keep inching
forward in those front lines towards the
eastern part of Ukraine what is the end
goal there is it uh do they wish to take
over Kiev does Russia wish to take over
Kiev is it just the coastal regions do
they limit themselves to Odessa till how
far inside Ukraine does Russia want to
go before they say okay fine this is now
the end of the
war it’s very simple of course majority
in Russia believes that the main Russian
cities who is really Russian cities as
ke ke was capital of Russia during two
centuries and uh uh at this is also 100%
And Russian city so as
a uh and of course most of the Russians
dream that those big city will be a part
of the russan uh but same time on the
Practical level I would say the Russian
government understand that this war over
this big cities could be a very uh very
bloody and very uh um very big that why
Russia I think would agree if Russian
people who is Ukrainian citizens and
leave in those big cities will be not
Russian citizens but only if those
Russian people will be not under the
russophobic anti-russian dictatorship so
Russia uh will continue its military
operation until America United States of
America will stop terroristic
dictatorship of the Ukrainian people and
will allow people to speak Russian
language will allow Russian Orthodox
George to be on the Z territory and will
uh stop formation this military Neo-Nazi
regime with a big plan of um to start
new war so when United States will stop
its plan to start new war against Russia
by using Ukrainian Pro Army after this
Russia will stop its military operation
Mr marov now uh the next part I I want
to just quickly ask you one more
question this is something which is a
little more on a personal front it’s not
to do with war tactics or geopolitics
you worked closely with the Russian
president you worked in you’ve of course
being part of the Russian Parliament I
wanted to understand from you if there’s
anything that you can share regarding
the man who is Vladimir Putin who
everyone understands as and knows as the
Russian president only you’ve known him
in a different sphere as well you’ve
known him worked with him closely as
well how does he see geopolitics at the
moment or at the time when you worked
with him and you feel from his
perspective or his thought process what
are his thoughts on the American
leadership would he prefer Trump if he
comes to power or does he prefer Biden
because he made a statement and he said
Biden is predictable so and he didn’t he
left it at that and he’s a master of his
words he spoke just one line but again
that makes everyone think what is going
on in his head if you can share some
light on
that yeah uh a few uh things how I
understand Vladimir Putin
geopolitical views uh first of all small
but important there are no hopes on
Donald Trump we know very much that
Donald Trump already was a president and
deep stay of United States more strong
than American president uh Donald Trump
was not able to stop uh conflict with
Russia and he will be not able again to
stop war against Russia uh it’s first uh
secondly uh Biden uh what is uh first of
all he is very aggressively anti Russian
and secondly Biden are mentally unable
and uh it means that so we have
so-called uh shadu Team of uh Joe Biden
who in fact Not Elected and who will run
and who run now by United States of
America in it’s very dangerous where
there are no uh responsibility on one uh
leader uh as about United States of
America Vladimir Putin uh idea main idea
that is that United States of America
leadership is declining and that why uh
um America tried to make reset of of its
uh leadership and uh America prepared
for the big uh many
decades uh competition with China uh but
for those competition with Russia with
China America want to take control over
the Russia Russian territory Russian
government and Russian nuclear weary
because Americans want Russia to be the
proxy regime but not uh friendly Ally of
China uh also uh
important characteristic from Vladimir
Putin that uh United States not just
want uh unipolar War but United States
not able more uh to be leader of this
unipolar war and another also important
uh things which could be for the past
but it’s important even now if you look
at the views of Putin Vladimir Putin is
very Pro Western politician uh he wants
Russia to be part of Europe and he told
we agree with leadership of United
States of America but only if we are
beneficial from those leadership but if
Americans still stolen money from us if
Americans making a russophobic an Russia
dictatorship of Ukraine if Americans
prohibited uh um Orthodox
Christianity uh in Ukraine we cannot be
uh Satisfied by American leers that why
we have to be against America because
Americans very bad to
us all right I will not add anything to
that but then uh that perhaps we’ll
leave the other questions for another
interaction that was uh Dr Serge marov
speaking very clearly on what he feels
about the things that I’ve asked him of
course on current affairs and also on
Vladimir Putin’s thought process
regarding geopolitics and what Russia
feels about America at the moment this
is Dr Serge Marco former spokesman for
President Putin and former member of the
Russian Parliament thank you so much for
sharing your insights on this thank you

Ukrainian President Vladimir zalinski

acquisition remains undisclosed but
there is speculation that these
aircrafts will be potentially deployed
in Ukraine where similar jets are still
in service there are reports which
indicate that the Armed Forces of
Ukraine May disassemble uh them for
spare parts or even use the obsolete air
frames as decoys at
airfields now as part of the process
back in October it was announced that
the kazak government was offering 117
Soviet era fighter and bomber aircrafts
for sale by auction this included the
mc31 interceptors the mc27 fighter
bombers the MC 29 among others produced
in the 1970s and
80s the declared value of the sale was 1
billion um and which is about $1.7
million averaging
19,300 per aircraft now further among
the aircraft acquired the mikoyan M31
known as the supersonic Interceptor
crucial for defending Soviet airspace
during the Cold War stands out the mc27
derived from the M23 served as a ground
attack aircraft while the mig29 excelled
in air-to-air combat and remains
operational in some air
forces the Z24 or the zco 24 and all
where the Tactical bomber despite its
age continues to serve in various Air
Forces including the Russian Aerospace
forces and Ukrainian Air Force
historically kazakistan has maintained
strong ties with Russia its former
Soviet Ally however geopolitical shifts
particularly since Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine has seen kazakistan aligning
more closely with Western Nations
drawing criticism from some quarters in
Russia so as kazakistan upgrades its
military capabilities its growing
engagement with Western
Nations signals a departure from its
historical ties with Moscow the US
Secretary of uh State Anthony blink’s
visit to kazakistan in March 2023
underscored United States support for
its independence and territorial
Integrity Russia has warned of freezing
us Assets in the country including
property and cash of US citizens and
investors and this comes as senior
Russian officials voice strong
opposition to the bill allowing the
confiscation of Russian assets the
Kremlin deems such actions illegal and
Wars of retaliation should the United
States proceed however legal experts
continue to debate the legitimacy of
such measures setting the stage for a
complex diplomatic and legal standoff

standoff now Russia continues to make
advances in the battlefield but to miss
the Russian advance in the ongoing War
NATO Chief Yen stoltenberg has made an
unannounced visit to Ukraine marking his
third visit to the country since the war
broke out the Secretary General of the
transatlantic military Alliance held
talks with Ukrainian president Vladmir
zilinski during his visit NATO boss
admitted that his alliance members have
failed to live up to their promise of
military aid in recent months but he
assured the war own country that the
flow of arms and ammunition will now
increase
NATO alliance have not delivered what
they promised the United States spent
months uh not agreeing a package for
Ukraine and European allies uh have not
delivered uh the amount of ammunition
they promised so now our responsibility
is to ensure that these announcements
are turned into real deliveries physical
deliveries of weapons and ammunition as
soon as
possible urg’s visit comes at a time of
difficulties on the battlefield for
Ukraine after a failed Ukrainian counter
offensive last year Russia is taking
advantage of Manpower and ammunition the
Russian army launched a missile attack
on adessa Ukraine’s Southern Port City
the building called the Harry Potter
castle by locals because of its gothic
style was hit and caught fire as of now
four people are reported Dead from the
Russian strike
[Music]
the type of missile is currently being
checked forensic Specialists are
carrying out the appropriate evaluations
to the scend all services including the
state emergency service are currently
working to eliminate the consequences of
this strike yet another War Crime After
the primary conclusions are made
determining the type of weapon we will
be able to
announce Skies over the Baltic regions
are becoming dangerous for airplanes
flights have been reporting an
increasing number of missing of fake GPS
signals right and the culprit is Russia
according to Baltic leaders they’ve now
warned that Russia’s dangerous Maneuvers
could cause an air disaster soon fin air
has suspended its flights to the
Estonian City for one month due to GPS
interference
now the official statement states that
flights will remain suspended between
29th of April and 31st of May till they
come up with an alternative that doesn’t
require GPS altogether now this comes
after two fin
air flights heading to Estonia had to
turn back to Finland due to GPS
interference Estonian Minister described
the act as a Russian hybrid attack the
GPS jamming or blackout episodes Have
Become regular since 2022 according to
Euro control the European Organization
for the safety of air navigation and
offly they’ve been on the
rise now what is GPS jamming all modern
planes are built with equipment that
send and receive constant signals from
Global navigation satellite systems like
us global positioning system the GPS and
Europe’s Galileo this helps the pilot to
navigate during the course of the flight
now what GPS jamming involves is
overloading an aircraft signal equipment
with sustained interference that it can
no longer send or receive information
from its GPS systems a us-based GPS
users Lobby group says Russia is
regularly attacking the aircraft
passengers and sovereignty of NATO
countries around 985 GPS outages were
recorded in the first two months of this
year near the Baltic this is seven times
more than cases recorded in the first
two months of 2023 around
1,371 cases were reported in 2023
flights in and out of Britain are among
thousands that have been affected by
suspected Russian
jamming the GPS jamming sessions mostly
occur around Russia’s kalend and grad on
Cliff a key military post for Russia in
fact these signals are also impeding
signals using a used by boats in the
Baltic Sea to this effect Swedish Navy
has also warned about safety of
shipping in mid-march a military plane
carrying British defense secretary Grand
shars was hit by GPS jamming on its way
back from Poland over 2,300 dryan air
flights have reported incidents of GPS
interference since last August lava’s
air Baltic has reported similar problems
as
well Russia’s forces have made further
gains in at least three locations along
the Eastern front in Ukraine including
an advance in the northern KV region
again highlighting kev’s need for
ammunition and weapons from the United
States and other allies Russia’s
tactical advances have increased
drastically and reflect the new Tempo on
the battlefield since the fall of of DFA
in February earlier this year to discuss
matters further and how Russia plans to
keep proceeding for more than this we
are being joined by Dr Serge marov who’s
the former spokesman for President
Vladimir Putin former member of the
Russian Parliament and director of The
Institute of political studies and
Russian political scientists joining us
right here on we on world is one
pleasure to have you here Mr marov I
wanted to now immediately start getting
your thoughts on this Russia’s military
tactics talk to us about those as
Ukraine demands more air defense units
and Patriot missiles is Russia kind of
stepping up the pace before those
American weapons make it to the
Ukrainian front lines
again uh Russian army uh not increase
the uh offensive against Ukrainian Army
okay Russia don’t put it schedule
according to the schedule of the
American weaponary uh it’s no Russian
army still has no big offense and all
military analysts in the world expected
that such kind of big uh Russian
offensive could be on the summer time uh
but maybe no maybe yes nobody knows
exactly the Strategic uh uh operation in
Russian uh military General quote
headquarter but uh Russia now use the
tactic of so-call few thousand small
hits against Ukrainian Army and uh
Russia waiting that in the some of the
part of the Ukrainian front it will be a
collapse of Ukrainian military unions
and it’s exactly what happening and the
main reason it’s not only some
increasing of the speed of Russia taking
some of the Frankly Speaking small small
villes on the uh in the Dan region
region but most important the reason of
why it happened it’s because Ukrainian
uh soldiers just left this part of the
pro um and uh we know that it will be
more American Weaponry but it will be no
more good Ukrainian soldiers uh because
if you look at the news you can see the
that uh hundred of thousands Ukrainian
men now try to uh cross the border and
to leave Ukraine because uh they don’t
want uh to go to m by mobilization to
the front to take part in those War
because they understand that Ukraine has
no chance to win war with Russia and
also because I understand this is not
Ukrainian war against Russia it’s
American war against Russia and
Americans use ukrainians as their proxy
Army so to their life interest of Biden
Mr marov I just wanted to now come in
and these are things of course they’ve
been discussed ever since 2022 or
February of that
year the world over or I would say at
least in certain parts of the world to
put it more correctly Russia is seen as
the aggressor here that Russia invaded
Ukraine in February 2022 this is the
third year of the war Russia continues
to pound Ukraine that is the narrative
which we see from some parts of the
world from your part of the world sir I
want to understand from you when you how
do you justify the actions which are
taking place on the front lines is does
Russia see this as its own territory
which it needs to seed again does Russia
see this as a threat from NATO that they
don’t want NATO on the front lines and
in case that is the case then what about
in Finland which also shares a border
with Russia and NATO forces are
positioned there as well but that is not
a point of contention between Russia and
Finland but Ukraine is how do you
differentiate the two and what is the
reason that Russia sees with its current
Onslaught uh it’s uh very simple Russia
doesn’t need uh new territories and
Russia doesn’t need territories Ukraine
because Russia is the biggest country in
the world and we have a lot of
territories in the east of which we uh
should uh you know economically develop
and so uh Russia what Russia need in
Ukraine uh to take away the real threat
of the new big war because we strongly
believe that United States occupy
Ukraine from
2014 when Ukrainian overr last
democratically elected president of
Ukraine and Americans impose a
russophobic and Russia dictatorship to
the Ukrainian people and Americans M
making anti-russian
from uh Ukrainian people from Ukrainian
State and Americans has a dream uh has
plan to create a very big strong kind of
Russia from Ukraine and then to have
very big war so Russia started small War
uh in order to avoid big war in future
so now Russia will continue in military
attack until the moment when United
States of America who is real dictator
of the Ukraine would agree that uh this
violence uh with using both terrorist
methods creation or anti- Russia from
the ukrainians who is Frankly Speaking
ethnically Russians 80% of them and this
is this plan of formation of an Russia
will be stopped Putin call that is gen
ification what mean generification it
means that all neonazi groups should be
prohibited and Ne neonazi groups used by
Americans for violence formation of
anti- Russia so if Americans agree
Russia immediately will stop fighting Mr
marov uh I just want to now you know uh
put a little more focus on what I asked
earlier if you can just pinpointed
answer that there are NATO forces in
Finland as well of course the Baltic
states are also NATO Nations
what is the specific issue when it comes
to Ukraine I understand there are very
there are cultural similarities when it
comes to Russia and Ukraine I understand
the Soviet Union uh uh you know uh the
common common factor there which also
has existed in the past but if he solely
look at it from the lens of NATO forces
they are positioned on several other
borders of Russia but when it comes to
the Ukrainian Russian border that is
where Russia does not want NATO forces
how do you draw that distinction what is
the issue if Ukraine also becomes a NATO
Nation because several other neighbors
of Russia are already part of
NATO it’s very easily from our point of
view Finland is anti-russian but
Democratic countries and finish that why
finish government will not send uh will
not start war against Russia because
finish government uh represent the
interest of uh Finnish people who wants
peace but in Ukraine we have American
dictatorship terroristic dictatorship
which use ukrainians as slaves and in
any moment when Americans want Ukrainian
prox Army to start war against Russian
and some of the Russian regions like
dbas and Crimea this war will be start
so this is the main uh difference
Finland is democratic country ukrainians
under the pressure of the American
dictat uh Mr marov also uh as you
mentioned Russia does not need more
territories till when do you feel Russia
will keep inching forward in those front
lines towards the eastern part of
Ukraine what is the end goal there is it
uh do they wish to take over Kiev does
Russia wish to take over Kev is it just
the coastal regions do they limit
themselves to Odessa till how far inside
Ukraine does Russia want to go before
they say okay fine this is now the end
of the
war is it’s very simple of course uh
majority in Russia believe that the main
Russian cities who is really Russian
cities as ke ke was capital of Russia
during two centuries and uh uh adessa is
also
100% And Russian city so as
a uh and of course most of the Russians
dream that those big city will be a part
of the uh Russia uh but same time
on the Practical level I would say the
Russian government understand that this
war over this big cities could be very
uh very bloody and very uh um very big
uh that why Russia I think would agree
if Russian people who is Ukrainian
citizens and leave in those big cities
will be not you Russian citizens but
only if those Russian people will be not
under the russophobic anti-russian
dictatorship so Russia uh will continue
its military operation until America
United States of America will stop
terroristic DET of the Ukrainian people
and will allow people to speak Russian
language will allow Russian Orthodox
Church um to be on the those territory
and will stop formation this military
Neo-Nazi regime with a big plan of um to
start new war so when United States will
stop its plan to start new war against
Russia by using Ukrainian Pro Army after
this Russia will stop its military
operation Mr marov now uh the next part
I I want to just quickly ask you one
more question this is something which is
a little more on a personal front it’s
not to do with war tactics or
geopolitics you worked closely with the
Russian president you worked in you of
course being part of the Russian
Parliament I wanted to understand from
you if there’s anything that you can
share regarding the man who is Vladimir
Putin who everyone understands as and
knows as the Russian president only
you’ve known him in a different sphere
as well you’ve known him worked with him
closely as well how does he see
geopolitics at the moment or at the time
when you worked with him and you feel
from his perspective or his thought
process what are his thoughts on the
American leadership would he prefer
Trump if he comes to power or does he
prefer Biden because he made a statement
and he said Biden is predictable so and
he didn’t he left it at that and he’s
he’s a master of his words he’s spoke
just one line but again that makes
everyone think what is going on in his
head if you can share some light on
that yeah uh a few things how I
understand Vladimir Putin geopolitical
uh use uh first of all small but
important there are no hopes on Donald
Trump we know very much that Donald
Trump already was a president and deep
stay of United States more strong than
American president uh Donald Trump was
not able to stop uh conflict with Russia
and he will be not able again to stop
War uh against Russia uh it’s first uh
secondly uh Biden uh what is uh first of
all he’s very aggressively anti Russian
and secondly Biden are mentally unable
and it means that so we have so-called
uh shadu Team of Joe Biden who in fact
Not Elected and who will run and who run
now by United States of America in it’s
very dangerous where there are no uh
responsibility on one uh leader uh
as about United States of America
Vladimir Putin idea main idea that is
that United stat of America leadership
is declining and that why uh um America
tried to make reset of of its uh
leadership and uh America prepared for
the big uh many decades uh competition
with China but for those competition
with Russia with China America want to
take control over the Russia Russian
territory Russian government and Russian
nuclear weary because Americans want
Russia to be the proxy regime but not uh
friendly Ally of China uh also uh
important characteristic from Vladimir
Putin that uh United States not just
want uh unipolar world but United States
not able more uh to be leader of this
unipolar war and another also important
uh things which could be for the past
but it’s important even now if you look
at the views of Putin Vladimir Putin is
very Pro Western politician uh he want
Russia to be part of Europe and he told
we agree with leadership of United
States of America but only if we are
beneficial from those leadership but if
Americans still stolen money from us if
Americans making a russophobic an Russia
dictatorship of Ukraine if Americans
prohibited um orod
Christianity uh in Ukraine we cannot be
uh Satisfied by American leers that why
we have to be against America because
Americans very bad to
us all right I will not add anything to
that but then uh that perhaps we’ll
leave the other questions for another
interaction that was uh Dr Serge marov
speaking very clearly on what he feels
about the things that I’ve asked him of
course on current affairs and also on
Vladimir Putin’s thought process
regarding geopolitics and what Russia
feels about America at the moment this
is Dr Serge Marco former spokesman for
President Putin and former member of the
Russian Parliament thank you so much for
sharing your insights on this thank you

security consequences would be grave and
Global Europe would face a security
threat that it hasn’t seen in our

Russia Ukraine war during his trial the
former German Soldier admitted that what
he did was wrong the 54-year-old has
been accused of passing information to
Russian intelligence service this
included the information like documents
related to munition systems and aircraft
technology
ex German Soldier obtained these
documents while working in the German

Thomas approached the Russian General
Consulate in Bon and the Russian Embassy
in Berlin and offered his cooperation in
May of last year he says he was worried
about Germany being dragged into the war
through delivery of weapons to Ukraine
the German solders aim was to obtain
information before a possible nuclear
escalation to keep his family safe
now he believed the German government
wasn’t looking out for the security of
its citizens hearings in Thomas’s case
are set to last until late July but this
is not a loan case this month
investigators arrested the German
Russian men on suspicion of spying for
Russia and planning attacks in Germany a
former German intelligence officer is
also on trial in Berlin for spying in
November 2022 a German Army Reserve
officer was handed a suspended sentence

mobilization effort is struggling amid
flagging enthusiasm however a
68-year-old Ukrainian Commander who’s in
the thick of the war refuses to let any
challenge come his way more in our next
report take a look
Alexander teran’s mobile artillery unit

Invasion with Russian troops making
progress in the East analysts say
Ukraine’s shortage of Manpower needs to
be addressed earlier this month
Ukrainian President Vladimir zalinski
approved new measures allowing the
military to call up more troops and
strengthen penalties for evasion he also
reduced the mobilization age from 27 to
25 Tran who has been fighting since 2014

United States has procured 81 outdated
Soviet era combat aircrafts from
kazakistan the purpose behind the US
acquisition remains undisclosed but
there is speculation that these
aircrafts will be potentially deployed
in Ukraine where similar jets are still
in service there are reports which
indicate that the Armed Forces of
Ukraine May dissemble uh them for spare
parts or even use the obsolete air
frames as decoys at
airfields now as part of the process
back in October oober it was announced
that the kazak government was offering
117 Soviet era fighter and bomber
aircrafts for sale by auction this
included the MC 31 interceptors the MC
27 fighter bombers the MC 29 among
others produced in the 1970s and
80s the declared value of the sale was 1
billion um and which is about $1.7
million averaging
19,300 per aircraft now further among
the aircraft acquired the mikoyan mc31
known as the supersonic Interceptor
crucial for defending Soviet airspace
during the Cold War stands out the mc27
derived from the mc23 served as a ground
attack aircraft while the m29 excelled
in air-to-air combat and remains
operational in some air
forces the Z 24 or the suco 24 and all
we the Tactical bomber despite its age
continues to serve in various Air Forces
including the Russian Aerospace forces
and Ukrainian Air Force historically
kazakistan has maintained strong ties
with Russia its former Soviet Ally
however geopolitical shifts particularly
since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has
seen kazakistan aligning more closely
with Western Nations drawing criticism
from some quarters in
Russia so as kazakistan upgrades its
military capabilities its growing
engagement with Western Nations
signals a departure from its historical
ties with Moscow the US Secretary of uh
State Anthony blinn’s visit to
kazakistan in March 2023 underscored
United States support for its
independence and territorial
Integrity Russia is W of freezing us
Assets in the country including property
and cash of US citizens and investors
and this comes as senior Russian
officials voice strong opposition to the
bill allowing the confiscation of
Russian assets the Kremlin deems such
actions illegal and Wars of retaliation
should the United States proceed however
legal experts continue to debate the
legitimacy of such measures setting the
stage for a complex diplomatic and legal
standoff
[Music]
for a closer look at the Frozen Russian
assets reveals a substanti icial sum
totaling almost $300 billion primarily
held in foreign currencies of the West
reuter’s calculations reveal that a
substantial amount of money is held in
European union and US assets along with
other countries the total amount of
foreign currency and gold reserves total
$612 billion while legally Frozen EU has
begun utilizing the interest generated
from these Holdings arguing for its
legality and necessity in supporting
Ukrainian interests however the
utilization and potential seizure of
these assets POS significant risk to the
Global Financial landscape the standoff
threatens to set a precedent for the
weaponization of financial assets and
diplomatic conflicts critics warn of
potential economic Fallout including
destabilization of the US dollar as the
world’s dominant currency moreover
concerns arise over the unintended
consequences of such actions including
retaliation from other nations and the
potential breakdown of international
legal norms as diplomatic efforts
continue the world watches closely aware
of the far-reaching implications of this
financial
standoff now Russia continues to make
advances in the battlefield but miss the
Russian advances in the ongoing War NATO
Chief Yen stoltenberg has made an
unannounced visit to Ukraine marking his
third visit to the country since the war
broke out the Secretary General of the
transatlantic military Alliance held
talks with Ukrainian president Vladmir
zilinski during his visit NATO boss
admitted that his alliance members have
failed to live up to their promise of
military aid in recent months but he
assured the water own country that the
flow of arms and ammunition will now
increase NATO alliance have not
delivered what they promised the United
States spent months uh not agreeing a
package for Ukraine and European allies
uh have not delivered uh the amount of
ammunition they promised so now our
responsibility is to ensure that these
announcements are turned into real
deliveries physical deliveries or
weapons and ammunition as soon as
possible stoltenberg’s visit comes at a
time of difficulties on the battlefield
for Ukraine after a failed Ukrainian
counter offensive last year Russia is
taking advantage of Manpower and
ammunition the Russian army launched a
missile attack on adessa Ukraine in
southern Port City the building called
the Harry Potter castle by locals
because of its gothic style was hit and
caught fire as of now four people are
reported Dead from the Russian
[Music]
strike the type of missile is currently
being checked forensic Specialists are
carrying out the appropriate evaluations
to the send all services including the
state emergency service are currently
working to eliminate the consequences of
this strike yet another War Crime After
the primary conclusions are made
determining the type of weapon we will
be able to announce Skies over the
Baltic regions are becoming dangerous
for airplanes flights have been
reporting an increasing number of
missing of fake GPS signals right and
the culprit is Russia according to
Baltic lead
they’ve now warned that Russia’s
dangerous Maneuvers could cause an air
disaster soon fin air has suspended its
flights to the Estonian City for 1 month
due to GPS
interference now the official statement
states that flights will remain
suspended between 29th of April and 31st
of May till they come up with an
alternative that doesn’t require GPS
altogether now this comes after two fin
air flights heading to Estonia had to
turn back to Finland due to GPS
interference Estonian Minister described
the act as a Russian hybrid attack the
GPS jamming or blackout episodes Have
Become regular since 2022 according to
Euro control the European Organization
for the safety of air navigation and off
late they’ve been on the
rise now what is GPS jamming all modern
planes are built with equipment that
send and receive constant signals from
Global navigation satellite systems like
us global positioning system the G GPS
and Europe’s Galileo this helps the
pilot to navigate during the course of
the flight now what GPS jamming involves
is overloading an aircraft signal
equipment with sustained interference
that it can no longer send or receive
information from its GPS systems a USB
GPS users Lobby group says Russia is
regularly attacking the aircraft
passengers and sovereignty of NATO
countries around 985 GPS outages were
recorded in the first two months of this
year near at the Baltic this is seven
times more than cases recorded in the
first 2 months of 2023 around
1,371 cases were reported in 2023
flights in and out of Britain are among
thousands that have been affected by
suspected Russian
jamming the GPS jamming sessions mostly
occur around Russia’s scalen grad on
Cliff a key military post for Russia in
fact these signals are also impeding
signals using a used by boats in the
Baltic Sea to this effect Swedish Navy
has also warned about safety of
shipping in mid-march a military plane
carrying British defense secretary gr
shars was hit by GPS jamming on its way
back from Poland over 2,300 Ryan Air
flights have reported incidents of GPS
interference since last August lava’s
air Baltic has reported similar problems
as
well Russia’s forces have made further
gains in at least three locations along
the Eastern front in Ukraine including
an advance in the northern KV region
again highlighting kev’s need for
ammunition and weapons from the United
States and other allies Russia’s
tactical advances have increased
drastically and reflect the new Tempo on
the battlefield since the fall of of DFA
in February earlier this year to discuss
matters further and how Russia plans to
keep proceeding for more than this we’re
being joined by Dr Serge marov who’s the
former spokesman for President Vladimir
Putin former member of the Russian
Parliament and director of The Institute
of political studies and Russian
political scientists joining us right
here on we on world is one pleasure to
have you here Mr marov I wanted to now
immediately start getting your thoughts
on this Russia’s military tactics talk
to us about those as Ukraine demands
more air defense units and patriate
missiles is Russia kind of stepping up
the pace before those American weapons
make it to the Ukrainian front lines
again uh Russian army uh not increase
the offensive against Ukrainian Army
okay Russia don’t put it schedule
according to the schedule of the
American weaponary uh it’s no Russian
army still has no big offense and all
military analysts in the world expected
that such kind of big uh Russian
offensive could be on the summer time uh
but maybe no maybe yes nobody knows
exactly the Strategic uh uh operation in
Russian U military General quar
headquarter but uh Russia now use the
tactic of so-call few thousand small
hits against Ukrainian Army and Russia
waiting that in the Su of the part of
the Ukrainian front it will be a
collapse of Ukrainian milit unions and
it’s exactly what happening and the main
reason it’s not only some increasing of
the speed of Russia taking some of the
Frankly Speaking small small villages on
the uh in the Danes region region but
most important the reason of why it
happened is because Ukrainian uh
soldiers just left this part of the pro
uh and uh uh we know that it will be
more American Weaponry but it will be no
more good Ukrainian soldiers uh because
if you look at the news you can see that
uh 100 of thousands Ukrainian men now
try to uh cross the border and to leave
Ukraine because uh they don’t want uh to
go to m by mobilization to the front to
take part in those War because they
understand that Ukraine has no chance to
win war with Russia and also because I
understand this is not Ukrainian war
against Russia it’s American war against
Russia and Americans use uh ukrainians
as their proxy Army so to pay their life
interest of Biden Mr marov I just wanted
to now come in and these are things of
course they’ve been discussed ever since
2022 or February of that
year the world over or I would say at
least in certain parts of the world to
put it more correctly Russia is seen as
the aggressor here that Russia invaded
Ukraine in February 2022 this is the
third year of the war Russia continues
to pound Ukraine that is the narrative
which we see from some parts of the
world from your part of the world sir I
want to understand from you when you how
do you justify the actions which are
taking place on the front lines is does
Russia see this as its own territory
which it needs to seed again does Russia
see this as a threat from NATO that they
don’t want NATO on the front lines and
in case that is the case then what about
in Finland which also shares a border
with Russia and NATO forces are
positioned there as well but that is not
a point of contention between Russia and
Finland but Ukraine is how do you
differentiate the two and what is the
reason that Russia sees with its current
Onslaught uh it’s uh very simple Russia
doesn’t need uh new territories and
Russia doesn’t need territories of
Ukraine because Russia is the biggest
country in the world and we have a lot
of territories in the east of which we
uh should uh you know economically
develop and so on uh Russia what Russia
need in Ukraine uh to take away the real
threat of the new big war because we
strongly believe that United States
occupy Ukraine from
2014 when Ukrainian overr last
democratically elected president of
Ukraine and Americans impose a
russophobic and Russia dictatorship to
the Ukrainian people and Americans ma
making anti-russia from uh Ukrainian
people from a Ukrainian State and
Americans has a dream uh has plan to
create a very big strong kind of Russia
from Ukraine and then to have very big
war so Russia started small War uh in
order to avoid big war in future so now
Russia will continue its military attack
until the moment when United States of
America who is real dictator of the
Ukraine would agree that uh this
violence uh with using both terrorist
methods creation or anti-russian from
the ukrainians who is Frankly Speaking
ethnically Russians 80% of them and this
is this plan of formation of an Russia
will be stopped Putin call that is
generification what mean generification
it means that all neonazi groups should
be prohibited and Ne neonazi groups used
by Americans for violence formation of
anti- Russia so if Americans agree
Russia immediately will stop fighting Mr
marov uh I just want to now you know uh
put little more focus on what I asked
earlier if you can just pinpointed
answer that there are NATO forces in
Finland as well of course the Baltic
states are also NATO Nations what is the
specific issue when it comes to Ukraine
I understand there are very there are
cultural similarities when it comes to
Russia and Ukraine I understand the
Soviet Union uh you know uh the common
common factor there which also has
existed in the past but if we solely
look at it from the lens of NATO forces
they are positioned on several other
borders of Russia but when it comes to
the Ukrainian Russian border that is
where Russia does not want NATO forces
how do you draw that distinction what is
the issue if Ukraine also becomes a NATO
Nation because several other neighbors
of Russia are already part of
NATO it’s very easily from our point of
you Finland is anti-russian but
Democratic countries and finish that why
finish government will not send uh will
not start war against Russia because
finish government uh represent the
interest of uh Finnish people who wants
peace but in Ukraine we have American
dictatorship terroristic dictatorship
which use ukrainians as slave and in any
moment when Americans want Ukrainian
proit to start war against Russian and
some of the Russian regions like dbas
and Crimea this war will be start so
this is the main uh difference Finland
is democratic country ukrainians under
the pressure of the American
dictatorship uh Mr marov also uh as you
mentioned Russia does not need more
territories till when do you feel Russia
will keep inching forward in those front
lines towards the eastern part of
Ukraine what is the end goal there is it
uh do they wish to take over Kiev does
Russ wish to take over Kev is it just
the coastal regions do they limit
themselves to Odessa till how far inside
Ukraine does Russia want to go before
they say okay fine this is now the end
of the
war it’s very simple of course majority
in Russia believe that the main Russian
cities who is really Russian cities as
ke ke was capital of Russia during two
centuries and uh adessa is also 100% And
Russian city so as
a uh and of course most of the Russians
dream that those big city will be a part
of the Russia uh but same time on the
Practical level I would say the Russian
government understand that this war over
this big cities could be very uh very
bloody and very uh um very
big uh that why Russia I think would
agree if Russian people who is Ukrainian
citizens and leave in those big cities
will be not you Russian citizens but
only if those Russian people will be not
under the russophobic anti-russian
dictatorship so Russia uh will continue
its military operation until America
United States of America will stop
terroristic dictatorship of the
Ukrainian people and will allow people
to speak Russian language will allow
Russian Orthodox George um to be on the
those territory and will uh stop
formation this military Neo-Nazi regime
with a big plan of um uh to start new
war so when United States will stop its
plan to start new war against Russia by
using Ukrainian Pro Army after this
Russia will stop its military operation
uh Mr marov now uh the next part I I
want to just quickly ask you one more
question this is something which is a
little more on a personal front it’s not
to do with war tactics or geopolitics
you worked closely with the Russian
president you worked in you’ve of course
been part of the Russian Parliament I
wanted to understand from you if there’s
anything that you can share regarding
the man who is Vladimir Putin who
everyone understands as and knows as the
Russian president only you’ve known him
in a different sphere as well you’ve
known and worked with him closely as
well how does he see geopolitics at the
moment or at the time when you worked
with him and you feel from his
perspective or his thought process what
are his thoughts on the American
leadership would he prefer Trump if he
comes to power or does he prefer Biden
because he made a statement and he said
Biden is predictable so and he didn’t he
left it at that and he’s he’s a master
of his words he’s spoke just one line
but again that makes everyone think what
is going on in his head if you can share
some light on
that yeah uh a few uh things how I
understand Vladimir Putin
geopolitical views uh first of all small
but important there are no hopes on
Donald Trump we know very much that
Donald Trump already was a president and
deep stay of United States more strong
than American president uh Donald Trump
was not able to stop uh conflict with
Russia and he will be not able again to
stop war against Russia uh it’s first uh
secondly uh Biden uh what is uh first of
all he is very aggressively anti Russian
and secondly Biden are mentally unable
and it means that so we have so-called
uh shadu Team of Joe Biden who in fact
Not Elected and who will run and who run
now by United States of America in it’s
very dangerous where there are no uh
responsibility on one uh leader uh as
about United States of America Vladimir
Putin uh idea main idea that is that
United States of America leadership is
declining and that why uh um America
tried to make reset of of which uh
leadership and uh America prepared for
the big uh many decades uh competition
with China uh but for those competition
with Russia with China America want to
take control of the Russia Russian
territory Russian government and Russian
nuclear weary because Americans want
Russia to be the proxy regime but not uh
friendly Ally of China uh also uh
important characteristic from Vladimir
Putin that uh United States not just
want uh unipolar world but United States
not able more uh to be leader of this
unipolar war and another also important
uh things which could be for the past
but it’s important even now if you look
at the views of Putin Vladimir Putin is
very proest politician he want Russia to
be part of Europe and he told we agree
with leadership of United States of
America but only if we are beneficial
from those leadership but if Americans
still stolen money from us if Americans
making a russophobic an Russia
dictatorship of Ukraine if Americans
prohibited uh
um orod
Christianity uh in Ukraine we cannot be
uh Satisfied by American leadership that
why we have to be against America
because Americans very B for
us all right I will not add anything to
that but then uh that perhaps we’ll
leave the other questions for another
interaction that was uh Dr Serge marov
speaking very clearly on what he feels
about the things that I’ve asked him of
course on current affairs and also on
Vladimir Putin’s thought process
regarding geopolitics and what Russia
feels about America at the moment this
is Dr Serge Marco former spokesman for
President Putin and former member of the
Russian Parliament thank you so much for
sharing your insights on this thank you

mobilization effort is struggling amid
dragging enthusiasm however a
68-year-old Ukrainian Commander who’s in
the thick of the war refuses to let any
challenge come his way more in our next
report take a
look Alexander teran’s mobile artillery
unit isn’t officially part of Ukraine’s
military but that hasn’t stopped his men
from destroying Russian
targets we get by thanks to the pension
fund says the 68-year-old commander
whose call sign is Granda
the all volunteer unit called the step
wolves is compromised of dozens of
Ukrainian men mostly over 60 years old
who are considered too old to be drafted
but still want to fight for their
country the unit also includes younger
men who have been ruled unfit to fight
roving Behind Enemy Lines with
truck-mounted rocket launchers they take
orders from field commanders and work
with other troops despite lacking
official support from the military the
unit is funded by donations and is
stocked with faulty rounds they repair
themselves as well as Weapons captured
from the enemy so far efforts to
officially integrate into the military
have been unsuccessful Teran said during
a recent visit by Reuters to their base
in the southeastern zapara region they
were seen preparing rocket rounds later
fired by troops from another unit this
63-year-old volunteer fighter goes by
the call sign
Zoro the commanders that provide us with
targets are happy they give us more
targets and help us with ammunition
however they can we move out and help
them Ukraine’s mobilization effort is
struggling amid flagging enthusiasm more
than two years into Russia’s full-scale
Invasion with Russian troops making
progress in the East analysts say
Ukraine’s shortage of Manpower needs to
be addressed earlier this month
Ukrainian President Vladimir zalinski
approved new measures allowing the
military to call up more troops and
strengthen penalties for evasion he also
reduced the mobilization age from 27 to
2
Tran who has been fighting since 2014
said coercion would be unlikely to beat
genuine enthusiasm from a potential
recruit beat him with a stick if you
want but he won’t fight he says in the
United States has procured 81 outdated
Soviet era combat aircrafts from
kazakistan the purpose behind the US
acquisition remains undisclosed but
there is speculation that these
aircrafts will be potentially deployed
in Ukraine where similar jets are still
in service there are reports which
indicate that the Armed Forces of
Ukraine May disassemble uh them for
spare parts or even use the obsolete air
frames as decoys at
airfields now as part of the process
back in October it was announced that
the kazak government was offering 117
Soviet era fighter and bomber aircrafts
for sale by auction this included the
M31 interceptors the mc27 fighter
bombers the mc29 among others produced
in the 1970s and
80s the declared value of the sale was 1
billion um and which is about $1.7
million averaging
19,300 per aircraft now further among
the aircraft acquired the mikoyan M31
known as the supersonic Interceptor
crucial for defending Soviet airspace
during the Cold War stands out the Mig
27 derived from the mc23 served as a
ground attack aircraft while the mig29
excelled in air-to-air combat and
remains operational in some air
forces the Z24 or the Zuko 24 and all
where the Tactical bomber despite its
age continues to serve in various Air
Forces including the Russian Aerospace
forces and Ukrainian Air Force
historically kazakistan has maintained
strong ties with Russia its former
Soviet Ally however geopolitical shifts
particularly since Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine has seen kazakistan aligning
more closely with Western Nations
drawing criticism from some quarters in
Russia so as kazakistan upgrades its
military capabilities it’s growing
engagement with Western
Nations signals a departure from its
historical ties with Moscow the US
Secretary of uh State Anthony blinken’s
visit to kazakistan in March 2023
underscored United States support for
its independence and territorial
integrity
Russia has wned of freezing us Assets in
the country including property and cash
of US citizens and investors and this
comes a senior Russian officials voice
strong opposition to the bill allowing
the confiscation of Russian assets the
Kremlin deems such actions illegal and
Wars of retaliation should the United
States proceed however legal experts
continue to debate the legitimacy of
such measure setting the stage for a
complex diplomatic and legal
standoff it’s for
[Music]
a closer look at the Frozen Russian
assets reveals a substantial sum
totaling almost 300 billion primarily
held in foreign currencies of the West
reuter’s calculations reveal that a
substantial amount of money is held in
European union and US assets along with
other countries the total amount of
foreign and gold reserves total $612
billion while legally Frozen EU has
begun utilizing the interest generated
from these Holdings arguing for its
legality and necessity in supporting
Ukrainian interests however the
utilization and potential seizure of
these assets POS significant risk to the
Global Financial landscape the standoff
threatens to set a precedent for the
weaponization of financial assets and
diplomatic conflicts critics warn of
potential economic Fallout including the
stable ization of the US dollar as the
world’s dominant currency moreover
concerns arise over the unintended
consequences of such actions including
retaliation from other nations and the
potential breakdown of international
legal Norms as diplomatic efforts
continue the world watches closely aware
of the far-reaching implications of this
financial
standoff now Russia continues to make
advances in the battlefield but to miss
the Russian advances in the ongoing War
NATO Chief Yen stoltenberg has made an
unannounced visit to Ukraine marking his
third visit to the country since the war
broke out the Secretary General of the
transatlantic military Alliance held
talks with Ukrainian president Vladmir
zilinski during his visit NATO boss
admitted that his alliance members have
failed to live up to their promise of
military aid in recent months but he
assured the war own country that the
flow of arms and ammunition will now
increase
NATO alliance have not delivered what
they promised the United States spent
months uh not agreeing a package for
Ukraine and European allies uh have not
delivered the amount of ammunition they
promised so now our responsibility is to
ensure that these announcements are
turned into real deliveries physical
deliveries or weapons and ammunition as
soon as
possible stoltenberg’s visit comes at
awn time of difficulties on the
battlefield for Ukraine after a failed
Ukrainian counter offensive last year
Russia is taking advantage of Manpower
and ammunition the Russian army launched
a missile attack on adessa Ukraine’s
Southern Port City the building called
the Harry Potter castle by locals
because of its gothic style was hit and
caught fire as of now four people are
reported Dead from the Russian strike
[Music]
the type of missile is currently being
checked forensic Specialists are
carrying out the appropriate evaluations
to the send all services including the
state emergency service are currently
working to eliminate the consequences of
this strike yet another War Crime After
the primary conclusions are made
determining the type of weapon we will
be able to announce Skies over the
Baltic regions are becoming dangerous
for airplanes flights have been
reporting an increasing number of
missing of fake GPS signals right and
the culprit is Russia according to
Baltic leaders they’ve now warned that
Russia’s dangerous Maneuvers could cause
an air disaster soon fin air has
suspended its flights to the Estonian
City for 1 month due to GPS
interference now the official statement
states that flights will remain
suspended between 29th of April and 31st
of May till they come up with an
alternative that doesn’t require GPS
altogether now this comes after two fin
air flights heading to Estonia had to
turn back to Finland due to GPS
interference Estonian Minister described
the act as a Russian hybrid attack the
GPS jamming or blackout episodes Have
Become regular since 2022 according to
Euro control the European Organization
for the safety of air nav navigation and
offl they’ve been on the
rise now what is GPS jamming all modern
planes are built with equipment that
send and receive constant signals from
Global navigation satellite systems like
us global positioning system the GPS and
Europe’s Galileo this helps the pilot to
navigate during the course of the flight
now what GPS jamming involves is
overloading an aircraft signal equipment
with sustained interference that it can
no longer send or receive information
from it’s a GPS systems a us-based GPS
users Lobby group says Russia is
regularly attacking the aircraft
passengers and sovereignty of NATO
countries around 985 GPS outages were
recorded in the first two months of this
year near the Baltic this is seven times
more than cases recorded in the first
two months of 2023 around
1,371 cases were reported in 2023
flights in and out of Britain are among
thousands that have been affected by
suspected Russian jamming
the GPS jamming sessions mostly occur
around Russia’s cend and grad on Cliff a
key military post for Russia in fact
these signals are also impeding signals
using a used by boats in the Baltic Sea
to this effect Swedish Navy has also
warned about safety of
shipping in mid-march a military plane
carrying British defense secretary Grand
shars was hit by GPS jamming on its way
back from Poland over 2,300 dryan air
flights have reported incidents of GPS
interference since last August Latvia’s
air Baltic has reported similar problems
as
well Russia’s forces have made further
gains in at least three locations along
the Eastern front in Ukraine including
an advance in the northern KV region
again highlighting kev’s need for
ammunition and weapons from the United
States and other allies Russia’s
tactical advances have increased
drastically and reflect the new Tempo on
the battlefield since the fall of of DF
in February earlier this year to discuss
matters further and how Russia plans to
keep proceeding for more than this we’re
being joined by Dr Serge marov who’s the
former spokesman for President Vladimir
Putin former member of the Russian
Parliament and director of The Institute
of political studies and Russian
political scientists joining us right
here on we on world is one pleasure to
have you here Mr marov I wanted to now
immediately start getting your thoughts
on this Russia’s military tactics talk
to us about those as Ukraine demands
more more air defense units and Patriot
missiles is Russia kind of stepping up
the pace before those American weapons
make it to the Ukrainian front lines
again uh Russian army uh not increase
the uh offensive against Ukrainian Army
okay Russia don’t put it schedule
according to the schedule of the
American weaponary uh it’s no Russian
army still has no big offens and all
military analysts in the world expected
that such kind of big uh Russian
offensive could be on the summer time uh
but maybe no maybe yes nobody knows
exactly the Strategic uh uh operation in
Russian U military General quarter
headquarter but uh Russia now use the
tactic of SoCal few thousand small hits
against Ukrainian Army and Russia
waiting that in the sum of the part of
the Ukrainian front it will be a
collapse of Ukrainian military units and
it’s exactly what are happening and uh
the main reason it’s not only some
increasing of the speed of Russia taking
some of the Frankly Speaking small small
villages on the uh in the Danes region
region but most important the reason of
why it happened is because Ukrainian uh
soldiers just left this part of the pro
um and uh uh we know that it will be
more American Weaponry but it will be no
more good Ukrainian soldiers uh because
if you look at the news you can see that
uh 100 of thousands Ukrainian men now
try to uh cross the border and to leave
Ukraine because uh they don’t want uh to
go to m by mobilization to the front to
take part in those War because they
understand that Ukraine has no chance to
win war with Russia and also because I
understand this is not Ukrainian war
against Russia it’s American war against
Russia and Americans use ukrainians as
their proxy Army so to pay their life
interest of Biden Mr marov I just wanted
to now come in and these are things of
course they’ve been discussed ever since
2022 or February of that
year the world over or I would say at
least in certain parts of the world to
put it more correctly Russia is seen as
the aggressor here that Russia invaded
Ukraine in February 2022 this is the
third year of the war Russia continues
to pound Ukraine that is the narrative
which we see from some parts of the
world from your part of the world sir I
want to understand from you when you how
do you justify the actions which are
taking place on the front lines is does
Russia see this as its own territory
which it needs to seed again does Russia
see this as a threat from NATO that they
don’t want NATO on the front lines and
in case that is the case then what about
and Finland which also shares a border
with Russia and NATO forces are
positioned there as well but that that
is not a point of contention between
Russia and Finland but Ukraine is how do
you differentiate the two and what is
the reason that Russia sees with its
current
Onslaught uh it’s very simple Russia
doesn’t need uh new territories and
Russia doesn’t need territor Ukraine
because Russia is the biggest country in
the world and we have a lot of
territories in the East which we uh
should uh you know economically develop
and so uh Russia what Russia need in
Ukraine uh to take away the real threat
of the new big war because we strongly
believe that United States occupy
Ukraine from
2014 when Ukrainian overr last
democratically elected president of
Ukraine and Americans impose a
russophobic and Russia dictatorship to
the Ukrainian people and Americans ma
making anti-russia from uh Ukrainian
people from Ukrainian State and
Americans has a dream uh has plan to
create a very big strong kind Russia
from Ukraine and then to have very big
war so Russia started small War uh in
order to avoid big war in future so now
Russia will continue its military attack
and till the moment when United States
of America who is real dictator of the
Ukraine would agree that uh this
violence uh with using both terrorist
methods creation or anti-russia from the
ukrainians who is Frankly Speaking
ethnically Russians 80% of them and this
is this plan of formation of an Russia
will be stopped Putin call it is
generification what means nification it
means that all neonazi groups should be
prohibited and Ne neonazi groups used by
Americans for violence formation of anti
Russia so if Americans agree Russia
immediately will stop fighting Mr marov
uh I just want to now you know uh put a
little more focus on what I asked
earlier if you can just pinpointed
answer that there are NATO forces in
Finland as well of course the Baltic
states are also NATO Nations what is the
specific issue when it comes to Ukraine
I understand there are very there are
cultural similarities when it comes to
Russia and Ukraine I understand the
Soviet Union uh you know uh the common
common factor there which also has
existed in the past but if we solely
look at it from the lens of NATO forces
they are positioned on several other
borders of Russia but when it comes to
the Ukrainian Russian border that is
where Russia does not want NATO forces
how do you draw that distinction what is
the issue if Ukraine also becomes a NATO
Nation because several other neighbors
of Russia are already part of
NATO it’s very easily from our point of
view Finland is anti-russian but
Democratic countries and finish that why
finish government will not send uh will
not start war against Russia because
Finnish government uh represent the
interest of uh finish people who wants
peace but in Ukraine we have American
dictatorship terrorist dictatorship
which use ukrainians as slave and in any
moment when Americans want Ukrainian Pro
Army to start war against Russian and
some of the Russian regions like dbas
and Crimea this war will be start so
this is the main uh difference Finland
is democratic country yes ukrainians
under the pressure of the American
dictator uh Mr marov also uh as you
mentioned Russia does not need more
territories till when do you feel Russia
will keep inching forward in those front
lines towards the eastern part of
Ukraine what is the end goal there is it
uh do they wish to take over Kiev does
Russia wish to take over Kiev is it just
the coastal regions do they limit
themselves to Odessa till how far inside
Ukraine does Russia want to go before
they say okay fine this is now the end
of the
war it’s very simple of course course
majority in Russia believe that the main
Russian cities who is really Russian
cities as ke ke was capital of Russia
during two centuries and uh uh adessa is
also
100% And Russian city so as
a uh and of course most of the Russians
dream that those big city will be a part
of the russan uh but same time on the
practical level I would say the Russian
government understand that this war over
this big cities could be very uh very
bloody and very uh um very big uh that
why Russia I think would agree if
Russian people who is Ukrainian citizens
and live in those big cities will be not
you Russian citizens but only if those
Russian people will be not under the
russophobic anti-russian dictatorship so
Russia uh will continue its military
operation until America United States of
America will stop terroristic deip of
the Ukrainian people and will allow
people to speak Russian language will
allow Russian Orthodox Church um to be
on the those territory and will uh stop
formation this military Neo-Nazi regime
with a big plan of um to start new war
so when United States will stop its plan
to start new war against Russia by using
Ukrainian Pro Army after this Russia
will stop its military operation Mr
marov now uh the next part I I want to
just quickly ask you one more question
this is something which is a little more
on a personal front it’s not to do with
war tactics or geopolitics you worked
closely with the Russian president you
worked in you’ve of course been part of
the Russian Parliament I wanted to
understand from you if there’s anything
that you can share regarding the man who
is Vladimir Putin who everyone
understands as and knows as the Russian
president only you’ve known him in a
different sphere as well you’ve known
him worked with him closely as well how
does he see geopolitics at the moment or
at the time when you worked with him and
you feel from his perspective or his
thought process what are his thoughts on
the American leadership would he prefer
Trump if he comes to power or does he
prefer Biden because he made a statement
and he said Biden is predictable so and
he didn’t he left it at that and he’s
he’s a master of his words he spoke just
one line but again that makes everyone
think what is going on in his head if
you can share some light on
that yeah uh a few things how I
understand Vladimir Putin
geopolitical views uh first of all
small but important there are no hopes
on Donald Trump we know very much that
Donald Trump already was the president
and deep stay of United States more
strong than American president uh Donald
Trump was not able to stop uh conflict
with Russia and he will be not able
again to stop war against Russia uh it’s
first uh secondly uh Biden uh what is uh
first of all he is very aggressively
anti Russian and secondly Biden are
mentally unable and it means that so we
have
socalled shadu team of Joe Biden who in
fact Not Elected and who will run and
who run now by United States of America
in it’s very dangerous where there are
no uh responsibility on one uh leader uh
as about United States of America
Vladimir Putin uh idea main idea that is
that United States of America leadership
is declining and that why uh um America
tried to make reset of of its uh
leadership and uh America prepared for
the big uh many
decades uh competition with China but
for those competition with Russia with
China America
want to take control of the Russia
Russian territory Russian government and
Russian nuclear rary because Americans
want Russia to be the proxy regime but
not uh friendly Ally of China uh also uh
important characteristic from Vladimir
Putin that uh United States not just
want uh unipolar world but United States
not able more to be leader of this
unipolar war and another also important
uh things which could be for the past
but it’s important even now if look at
the views of Putin Vladimir Putin is
very Pro Western politician uh he want
Russia to be part of Europe and he told
we agree with leadership of United
States of America but only if we are
official from those leadership but if
Americans still stolen money from us if
Americans making a russophobic Russia
dictatorship of Ukraine if Americans
prohibited umod
Christianity uh in Ukraine we cannot be
uh Satisfied by American leers that’s
why we have to be against America
because Americans very bit for
us all right I will not add anything to
that but then uh that perhaps we’ll
leave the other questions for another
interaction that was uh Dr Serge marov
speaking very clearly on what he feels
about the things that I’ve asked him of
course on current affairs and also on
Vladimir Putin’s thought process
regarding geopolitics and what Russia
feels about America at the moment this
is Dr Serge Marco former spokesman for
President Putin and former member of the
Russian Parliament thank you so much for
sharing your insights on this thank you

Ukraine’s shortage of Manpower needs to
be addressed
earlier this month Ukrainian President
Vladimir zalinski approved new measures
allowing the military to call up more
troops and strengthen penalties for
evasion he also reduced the mobilization
age from 27 to
25 Tran who has been fighting since 2014

acquisition remains undisclosed but
there is speculation that these
aircrafts will be potentially deployed
in Ukraine where similar jets are still
in service there are reports which
indicate that the Armed Forces of
Ukraine May assemble uh them for spare
parts or even use the obsolete air
frames as decoys at

kazakistan has maintained strong ties
with Russia its former Soviet Ally
however geopolitical shifts particularly
since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has
seen kazakistan aligning more closely
with Western Nations drawing criticism
from some quarters in
Russia so as kazakistan upgrades its
military capabilities of screwing
engagement with Western
Nations signals a departure from its
historical ties with Moscow the US
Secretary of State Anthony blink’s visit
to kazakistan in March 20123 underscored
United States support for its
independence and territorial
Integrity Russia is W of freezing us
Assets in the country including property
and cash of US citizens and investors
and this comes a senior Russian
officials voice strong opposition to the
bill allowing the confiscation of
Russian assets the Kremlin deemed such
action illegal and Wars of retaliation
should the United States proceed however
legal experts continue to debate the
legitimacy of such measur setting the
stage for a complex diplomatic and legal
standoff
[Music]
a closer look at the Frozen Russian
assets reveals a substantial sum
totaling almost $300 billion primarily
held in foreign currencies of the West
reuter’s calculations reveal that a
substantial amount of money is held in
European union and US assets along with
other countries the total amount of
foreign currency and gold reserves total
$612 billion while legally Frozen EU has
begun utilizing the interest generated
from these Holdings arguing for its
legality and necessity in supporting
Ukrainian interests however the
utilization and potential seizure of
these assets POS significant risk to the
Global Financial landscape the standoff
threatens to set a precedent for the
weaponization of financial assets and
diplomatic conflicts critics warn of
potential economic Fallout including
destabilization of the US dollar as the
world’s dominant currency moreover
concerns arise over the unintended
consequences of such actions including
retaliation from other nations and the
potential breakdown of international
legal Norms as diplomatic efforts
continue
the world watches closely aware of the
far-reaching implications of this
financial
standoff now Russia continues to make
advances in the battlefield but to miss
the Russian advances in the ongoing War
NATO Chief yen stoltenberg is made an
unannounced visit to Ukraine marking his
third visit to the country since the war
broke out the Secretary General of the
transatlantic military Alliance held
talks with Ukrainian president Vladmir
zilinski during his visit NATO boss
admitted that his alliance members have
failed to live up to their promise of
military aid in recent months but he
assured the war own country that the
flow of arms and ammunition will now
increase NATO allies have not delivered
what they promised the United States
spent months uh not agreeing a package
for Ukraine and European allies uh have
not delivered uh the amount of
ammunition they promised
so now our responsibility is to ensure
that these announcements are turned into
real deliveries physical deliveries or
weapons and ammunition as soon as
possible stoltenberg’s visit comes at a
time of a difficulties on the
battlefield for Ukraine after a failed
Ukrainian counter offensive last year
Russia is taking advantage of Manpower
and ammunition the Russian army launched
a missile attack on adessa Ukraine’s
Southern Port City the the building
called the Harry Potter castle by locals
because of its gothic style was hit and
caught fire as of now four people are
reported Dead from the Russian
[Music]
strike the type of missile is currently
being checked forensic Specialists are
carrying out the appropriate evaluations
to the send all services including the
state emergency service are currently
working to eliminate the consequences of
this strike yet another War Crime After
the primary conclusions are made
determining the type of weapon we will
be able to
announce Skies over the Baltic regions
are becoming dangerous for airplanes
flights have been reporting an
increasing number of missing of fake GPS
signals right and the culprit is Russia
according to Baltic leaders they’ve now
won the Russia’s dangerous Maneuvers
could cause an air disaster soon Finn
air has suspended its flights to the
Estonian City for 1 month due to GPS
interference now the official statement
states that flights will remain
suspended between 29th of April and 31st
of May till they come up with an
alternative that doesn’t require GPS
altogether now this comes after two fin
air flights heading to Estonia had to
turn back to Finland due to GPS
interference Estonian Minister described
the act as a Russian hybrid attack the
GPS jamming or blackout episodes Have
Become regular since 2022 according to
Euro control the European Organization
for the safety of air navigation and off
late they’ve been on the
rise now what is GPS jamming all modern
planes are built with equipment that
send and receive constant signals from
Global navigation satellite systems like
us global positioning system the GPS and
Europe Galileo this helps the pilot to
navigate during the course of the flight
now what GPS jamming involves is
overloading an aircraft signal equipment
with sustained interference that it can
no longer send or receive information
from its GPS systems a USB GPS users
Lobby group says Russia is regularly
attacking the aircraft passengers and
sovereignty of NATO countries around 985
GPS outages were recorded in the first
two months of this year near the Baltic
this is 7 10 times more than cases
recorded in the first 2 months of 2023
around
1,371 cases were reported in 2023
flights in and out of Britain are among
thousands that have been affected by
suspected Russian
jamming the GPS jamming sessions mostly
occur around Russia’s scalen grad on
Cliff a key military post for Russia in
fact these signals are also impeding
signals using a used by boats in the
Baltic Sea to this effect Swedish Navy
has also warned about safety of
shipping in mid-march a military plane
carrying British defense secretary Grand
shars was hit by GPS jamming on its way
back from Poland over 2,300 dryan air
flights have reported incidents of GPS
interference since last August Latvia’s
air Baltic has reported similar problems
as
well Russia’s forces have made further
gains in at least three locations along
the Eastern front in Ukraine including
an advance in the North Northern KV
region again highlighting kev’s need for
ammunition and weapons from the United
States and other allies Russia’s
tactical advances have increased
drastically and reflect the new Tempo on
the battlefield since the fall of of DFA
in February earlier this year to discuss
matters further and how Russia plans to
keep proceeding for more than this we’re
being joined by Dr Serge marov who’s the
former spokesman for President Vladimir
Putin former member of the Russian
Parliament and director of The Institute
ofl iCal studies and Russian political
scientists joining us right here on we
on world is one pleasure to have you
here Mr marov I wanted to now
immediately start getting your thoughts
on this Russia’s military tactics talk
to us about those as Ukraine demands
more air defense units and Patriot
missiles is Russia kind of stepping up
the pace before those American weapons
make it to the Ukrainian front lines
again uh Russian army uh not increase
the uh offensive against Ukrainian Army
okay Russia don’t put it schedule
according to the schedule of the
American weaponary uh it’s no Russian
army still has no big offense and all
military analysts in the world expected
that such kind of big uh Russian
offensive could be on the summertime uh
but maybe no maybe yes nobody knows EX
ly the Strategic uh operation in Russian
military General quarter headquarter but
uh Russia now use the tactic of So-Cal
few thousand small hits against
Ukrainian Army and Russia waiting that
in the some of the part of the Ukrainian
fronts it will be a collapse of
Ukrainian military units and it’s EX
what happening and the main reason it’s
not only some increasing of the speed of
Russia taking some of the Frankly
Speaking small small villages on the uh
in the D region region but most
important the reason of why it happened
is because Ukrainian uh soldiers just
left this part of the pro uh and uh uh
we know that it will be more American
Weaponry but it will be no more good
Ukrainian soldiers uh because if you
look at the news you can see that
hundred of thousands Ukrainian men now
try to uh cross the border and to leave
Ukraine because uh they don’t want uh to
go to m by mobilization to the front to
take part in those War because they
understand that Ukraine has no chance to
win war with Russia and also because I
understand this is not Ukrainian war
against Russia it’s American war against
Russia and Americans use uh ukrainians
as their proxy Army so to P their life
interest of Biden Mr marov I just wanted
to now come in and these are things of
course they’ve been discussed ever since
2022 or February of that
year the world over or I would say at
least in certain parts of the world to
put it more correctly Russia has seen as
the aggressor here that Russia invaded
Ukraine in February 2022 this is the
third year of the war Russia continues
to pound Ukraine that is the narrative
which we see from some parts of the
world from your part of the world sir I
want to understand from you when you how
do you justify the actions which are
taking place on the front lines is does
Russia see this as its own territory
which it needs to seed again does Russia
see this as a threat from NATO that they
don’t want NATO on the front lines and
in case that is the case then what about
and Finland which also shares a border
with Russia and NATO forces are
positioned there as well but that is not
a point of contention between Russia and
Finland but Ukraine is how do you
differentiate the two and what is the
reason that Russia sees with its current
Onslaught uh it’s very simple Russia
doesn’t need uh new territories and
Russia doesn’t need territor Ukraine
because Russia is the biggest country in
the world and we have a lot of
territories in the east of which we uh
should uh you know economically develop
and so uh Russia what Russia need in
Ukraine uh to take away the real threat
of the new big war because we strongly
believe that United States occupy
Ukraine from 2014
when Ukrainian overr last democratically
elected president of Ukraine and
Americans impos a russophobic anti
Russia dictatorship to the Ukrainian
people and Americans ma making a
anti-russia from uh Ukrainian people
from Ukrainian State and Americans has a
dream uh has planned to create a very
big strong kind Russia from Ukraine and
then to have very big war so Russia
started small War uh in order to avoid
big war in future so now Russia will
continue its military attack until the
moment when United States of America who
is real dictator of the Ukraine would
agree that uh this violence uh with
using both terrorist methods creation or
anti- Russ from the ukrainians who is
Frankly Speaking ethnically Russians 80%
of them and this if this plan of
formation of an Russia will be stopped
Putin calls that is generification what
mean generification it means that all
neonazi groups should be prohibited and
Ne neonazi groups used by Americans for
violence formation of anti Russia so if
Americans agree Russia immediately will
stop fighting Mr marov uh I just want to
now you know uh put a little more focus
on what I asked earlier if you can just
pinpointed answer that there are NATO
forces in Finland as well of course the
Baltic states are also NATO Nations what
is the specific issue when it comes to
Ukraine I understand there are very
there are cultural similarities when it
comes to Russia and Ukraine I understand
the Soviet Union uh you know uh the
common common factor there which also
has existed in the past but if we solely
look at it from the lens of NATO forces
they are positioned on several other
borders of Russia but when it comes to
the Ukrainian Russian border that is
where Russia does not want NATO forces
how do you draw that distinction what is
the issue if Ukraine also becomes a NATO
Nation because several other neighbors
of Russia are already part of
NATO it’s very easily from our point of
view Finland is anti Russian but
Democratic countries and finish that why
finish government will not
uh will not start war against Russia
because finish government represent the
interest of uh finish people who wants
peace but in Ukraine we have American
dictatorship terroristic dictatorship
which use ukrainians as slave and in any
moment when Americans want Ukrainian Pro
Army to start war against uh Russian and
some of the Russian regions like dbas
and Crimea this war will be start so
this is the main uh difference Finland
is democratic country ukrainians under
the pressure of the American dictator uh
Mr marov also uh as you mentioned Russia
does not need more territories till when
do you feel Russia will keep inching
forward in those front lines towards the
eastern part of Ukraine what is the end
goal there is it uh do they wish to take
over Kiev does Russia wish to take over
Kev is it just the coastal regions do
they limit themselves to Odessa till how
far inside Ukraine does Russia want to
go before they say okay fine this is now
the end of the
war it’s very simple of course uh
majority in Russia believe that the main
Russian cities who is really Russian
cities as ke ke was capital of Russia
during two centuries and uh uh adessa is
also 100% And Russian city so as
a uh and of course most of the Russians
dream that those big city will be a part
of the Russia uh but same time on the
Practical level I would say the Russian
government understand that this war over
this big cities could be very uh very
bloody and very uh um very big uh that
why Russia I think would agree if
Russian people who is Ukrainian citizens
and live in those big cities will be not
you Russian citizens but only if those
Russian people will be not under the
russophobic anti-russian dictatorship so
Russia uh will continue its military
operation until America United States of
America will stop terroristic
dictatorship of the Ukrainian people and
will allow people to speak Russian
language will allow Russian Orthodox
George um to be on the those territory
and will uh stop formation this military
Neo-Nazi regime with a big plan of um to
start new war so when United States will
stop its plan to start new war against
Russia by using Ukrainian Pro Army after
this Russia will stop its military
operation Mr marov now uh the next part
I I want to just quickly ask you one
more question this is something which is
a little more on a personal front it’s
not to do with war tactics or
geopolitics you worked closely with the
Russian president you worked in you’ve
of course been part of the Russian
Parliament I wanted to understand from
you if there’s anything that you can
share regarding the man who is Vladimir
Putin who everyone understands as and
knows as the Russian president only
you’ve known him in a different sphere
as well you’ve known him worked with him
closely as well how does he see
geopolitics at the moment or at the time
when you worked with him and you feel
from his perspective or his thought
process what are his thoughts on the
American leadership would he prefer
Trump if he comes to power or does he
prefer Biden because he made a statement
and he said Biden is predictable so and
he didn’t he left it at that and he’s
he’s a master of his words he spoke just
one line but again that makes everyone
think what is going on in his head if
you can share some light on
that yeah uh a few things how I
understand Vladimir Putin
geopolitical views uh first of all small
but important there are no hopes on
Donald Trump we know very much that
Donald Trump already was the president
and deep stay of United States more
strong than American president uh Donald
Trump was no not able to stop conflict
with Russia and he will be not able
again to stop war against Russia uh it’s
first uh secondly uh Biden uh what is uh
first of all he is very aggressively
under russion and secondly Biden are
mentally unable and it means that so we
have socalled uh shadu Team of Joe Biden
who in fact not elected and who will run
and who run now by United States of
America in it’s very dangerous where
there are no uh responsibility on one uh
leader uh as about United States of
America Vladimir Putin uh idea main idea
that is that United States of America
leadership is declining and that why uh
um America tried to make reset of of its
uh leadership and uh America prepared
for the big uh many
decades uh competition with China but
for those competition with Russia with
China America want to take control over
the Russia Russian territory Russian
government and Russian nuclear weary
because Americans want Russia to be the
proxy regime but not uh friendly Ally or
of China uh also uh
important characteristic from Vladimir
Putin that uh United States not just
want uh unipolar world but United States
not able more uh to be leader of this
unipolar war and another also important
uh things which could be for the past
but it’s important even now if now look
at the views of Putin Vladimir Putin is
very Pro Western politician uh he want
Russia to be part of Europe and he told
we agree with leadership of United
States of America but only if we are
beneficial from those leadership but if
Americans still stolen money from us if
Americans making a russophobic an Russia
dictatorship of Ukraine if Americans
prohibited umod
Christianity uh in Ukraine we cannot be
uh satisfi by American leadership that
why we have to be against America
because Americans very bad to
us all right I will not add anything to
that but then uh that perhaps we’ll
leave the other questions for another
interaction that was uh Dr Serge marov
speaking very clearly on what he feels
about the things that I’ve asked him of
course on current affairs and also on
Vladimir Putin’s thought process
regarding geopolitics and what Russia
feels about America at the moment this
is Dr Serge Marco former spokesman for
President Putin and former member of the
Russian Parliament thank you so much for
sharing your insights on this thank you

refuses to let any challenge come his
way more in our next report take a

Ukraine’s mobilization effort is
struggling amid flagging enthusiasm more
than two years into Russia’s full-scale
Invasion with Russian troops making
progress in the East analysts say
Ukraine’s shortage of Manpower needs to
be addressed earlier this month
Ukrainian President Vladimir zalinski
approved new measures allowing the
military to call up more troops and
strengthen penalties for evasion he also
reduced the mobilization age from 27 to
25
Tran who has been fighting since 2014
said coercion would be unlikely to beat
genuine enthusiasm from a potential
recruit beat him with a stick if you
want but he won’t fight he says in the
United States has procured 81 outdated
Soviet era combat aircrafts from
kakistan the purpose behind the US
acquisition remains undisclosed but
there is speculation that these
aircrafts will be potentially deployed
in Ukraine where similar jets are still
in service there are reports which
indicate that the Armed Forces of
Ukraine May disassemble uh them for
spare parts or even use the obsolete
airf frames as decoys at
airfields now as part of the process
back in October it was announced that
the kazak government was offering
117 Soviet era fighter and bomber
aircrafts for sale by auction this
included the M 31 interceptors the mc27
fighter bombers the mc29 among others
produced in the 1970s s and
80s the declared value of the sale was 1
billion um and which is about $17
million averaging $1
19,300 per aircraft now further among
the aircraft acquired the mikoyan mc31
known as a supersonic Interceptor
crucial for defending Soviet airspace
during the Cold War stands out the Mig
27 derived from the mc23 served as a
ground attack aircraft while the mig29
excelled in air-to-air combat and
remains operational in some air
forces the Su 24 or the Zuko 24 and all
where the Tactical bomber despite its
age continues to serve in various Air
Forces including the Russian Aerospace
forces and Ukrainian Air Force
historically kazakistan has maintained
strong ties with Russia its former
Soviet allly however geopolitical shifts
particularly since Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine has seen kazakistan aligning
more closely with Western Nations
drawing criticism from some quarters in
Russia so as kazakistan upgrades its
military capabilities its growing
engagement with Western
Nations signals a departure from its
historical ties with Moscow the US
Secretary of uh State Anthony blink’s
visit to kazakistan in March 2023
underscored United States support for
its independence and territorial
integrity
Russia is wned of freezing us Assets in
the country including property and cash
of US citizens and investors and this
comes a senior Russian officials voice
strong opposition to the bill allowing
the confiscation of Russian assets the
Kremlin deems such actions illegal and
WS of retaliation should the United
States proceed however legal experts
continue to debate the legitimacy of
such measur setting the stage for a
complex diplomatic and legal standoff

uh
a closer look at the Frozen Russian
assets reveals a substantial sum
totaling almost $300 billion primarily
held in foreign currencies of the West
reuter’s calculations reveal that a
substantial amount of money is held in
European union and US assets along with
other countries the total amount of
foreign currency and gold reserves total
$612 billion while legally Frozen EU has
begun utilizing the interest generated
from these Holdings arguing for its
legality and necessity in supporting
Ukrainian interests however the
utilization and potential seizure of
these assets pose significant risk to
the Global Financial landscape the
standoff threatens to set a precedent
for the weaponization of financial
assets and diplomatic conflicts critics
warn of potential economic Fallout
including destabilization of the US
dollar as the world’s dominant currency
moreover concerns arise over the
unintended consequences of such actions
including retaliation from other nations
and the potential breakdown of

failed to live up to their promise of

assured the war own country that the
flow of arms and ammunition will now
increase NATO allies have not delivered
what they promised the United States
spent months uh not agreeing a package
for Ukraine and European allies uh have
not delivered the amount of ammunition
they promised so now our responsibility
is to ensure that these announcements
are turned into real deliveries physical
deliveries or weapons and ammunition as
soon as
possible stoltenberg’s visit comes at a
time of a difficulties on the
battlefield for Ukraine after a failed
Ukrainian counter offensive last year
Russia is taking advantage of Manpower
and ammunition the Russian army launched
a missile attack on adessa Ukraine’s
Southern Port City the building called
the Harry Potter castle by locals
because of its gothic style was hit and
caught fire as of now four people are

Skies over the Baltic regions are
becoming dangerous for airplanes flights
have been reporting an increasing number
of missing of fake GPS signals right and
the culprit is Russia according to
Baltic leaders they’ve now warned that
Russia’s dangerous Maneuvers could cause
an air disaster soon fin air has
suspended its flights to the Estonian
City for 1 month due to GPS
interference now the official statement
states that flights will remain
suspended between 29th of April and 31st
of May till they come up with an
alternative that doesn’t require GPS all
together now this comes after two fin
air flights heading to Estonia had to
turn back to Finland due to GPS
interference Estonian Minister described
the act as a Russian hybrid attack the
GPS jamming or blackout episodes Have
Become regular since 2022 according to
Euro control the European Organization
for the safety of air navigation and
offl have been on the
rise now what is GPS jamming all modern
planes are built with equipment that
send and receive constant signals from
Global navigation satellite systems like
us global positioning system the GPS and
Europe’s Galileo this helps the pilot to
navigate during the course of the flight
now what GPS jamming involves is
overloading an aircraft signal equipment
with sustained interference that it can
no longer send or receive information
from its GPS systems
a us-based GPS users Lobby group says
Russia is regularly attacking the
aircraft passengers and sovereignty of
NATO countries around 985 GPS outages
were recorded in the first two months of
this year near the Baltic this is seven
times more than cases recorded in the
first two months of 2023 around
1,371 cases were reported in 2023
flights in and out of Britain are among
thousands that have been affected by
suspected Russian
jamming the GPS jamming session
mostly occur around Russia’s scan gr on
Cliff a key military post for Russia in
fact these signals are also impeding
signals using a used by boats in the
Baltic Sea to this effect Swedish Navy
has also warned about safety of
shipping in mid-march a military plane
carrying British defense secretary gr
shars was hit by GPS jamming on its way
back from Poland over 2300 dryan air
flights have reported incidents of GPS
interference since last August l ‘s air
Baltic has reported similar problems as
well Russia’s forces have made further
gains in at least three locations along
the Eastern front in Ukraine including
an advance in the northern K region
again highlighting kev’s need for
ammunition and weapons from the United
States and other allies Russia’s
tactical advances have increased
drastically and reflect the new Tempo on
the battlefield since the fall of of DFA
in February earlier this year to discuss
matters further and how Russia plans to
keep proceeding for more than this we’re
being joined by Dr Serge marov who’s the
former spokesman for President Vladimir
Putin former member of the Russian
Parliament and director of The Institute
of political studies and Russian
political scientists joining us right
here on we on world is one pleasure to
have you here Mr marov I wanted to now
immediately start getting your thoughts
on this Russia’s military tactics talk
to us about those as Ukraine demands
more air defense units and Pat missiles
is Russia kind of stepping up the pace
before those American weapons make it to
the Ukrainian front lines
again uh Russian army uh not increase
the uh offensive against Ukrainian Army
okay Russia don’t put it schedule
according to the schedule of the
American weaponary uh it’s no Russian
army still has no big offense and the
old military analysts in the world
expected that such kind of big uh
Russian offensive could be on the summer
time uh but maybe no maybe yes nobody
knows exactly the Strategic uh uh
operation in Russian U military General
quarter headquarter but uh Russia now
use the tactic of SoCal few thousand
small hits against Ukrainian Army and uh
Russia waiting that in the some of the
part of the Ukrainian fronts it will be
a collapse of Ukrainian military unions
and it’s exactly what happening and the
main reason it’s not only some
increasing of the speed of Russia taking
some of the Frankly Speaking small small
villages on the uh in the Dess
region region but most important the
reason of why it happened it’s because
Ukrainian uh soldiers just left this
part of the FR um and uh we know that it
will be more American Weaponry but it
will be no more good Ukrainian soldiers
uh because if you uh look at the news
you can see that uh hundred of thousands
Ukrainian
now try to uh cross the border and to
leave Ukraine because uh they don’t want
uh to go to Mobil by mobilization to the
front to take part in those War because
they understand that Ukraine has no
chance to win war with Russia and also
because I understand this is not
Ukrainian war against Russia it’s
American war against Russia and
Americans use ukrainians as their proxy
Army so to their life interest of Biden
Mr marov I just wanted to now come in
and these are things of course they’ve
been discussed ever since 2022 or
February of that
year the world over or I would say at
least in certain parts of the world to
put it more correctly Russia is seen as
the aggressor here that Russia invaded
Ukraine in February 2022 this is the
third year of the war Russia continues
to pound Ukraine that is the narrative
which we see from some parts of the
world from your part of the world sir I
want to understand from you when you how
do you justify the actions which are
taking place on the front lines is does
Russia see this as its own territory
which it needs to seed again does Russia
see this as a threat from NATO that they
don’t want NATO on the front lines and
in case that is the case then what about
in Finland which also shares a border
with Russia and NATO forces are
positioned there as well but that is not
a point of contention between Russia and
Finland but Ukraine is how do you
differentiate the two and what is the
reason that Russia sees with its current
Onslaught uh it’s very simple Russia
doesn’t need uh new territories and
Russia doesn’t need territories Ukraine
because Russia is the biggest country in
the world and we have a lot of
territories in the east of which we uh
should uh you know economically develop
and so uh Russia what Russia need in
Ukraine uh to take away the real threat
of the new big war because we strongly
believe that United States occupy
Ukraine from
2014 when Ukrainian ARR last
democratically elected president of
Ukraine and Americans impose a
russophobic and Russia dictatorship to
the Ukrainian people and Americans M
making are anti-russia from uh Ukrainian
people from Ukrainian State and
Americans has a dream uh has planned to
create a very big strong kind Russia
from Ukraine and then to have very big
war so Russia started small War uh in
order to avoid big war in future so now
Russia will continue its military attack
until the moment when you United States
of America who is real dictator of the
Ukraine would agree that this violence
uh with using both terrorist methods
creation or anti-russia from the
ukrainians who is Frankly Speaking
ethnically Russians 80% of them and this
is this plan of formation of an Russia
will be stopped Putin call it is
generification what means generification
it means that all neonazi groups should
be prohibited and Ne neonazi groups used
by Americans for violence formation of
anti Russia so if Americans agree Russia
immediately will stop fighting Mr marov
uh I just want to now you know uh put a
little more focus on what I asked
earlier if you can just pinpointed
answer that there are NATO forces in
Finland as well of course the Baltic
states are also NATO Nations what is the
specific issue when it comes to Ukraine
I understand there are very there are
cultural similarities when it comes to
Russia and Ukraine I understand the
Soviet Union uh you know uh the common
common factor there which also has
existed in the past but if we solely
look at it from the lens of NATO forces
they are positioned on several other
borders of Russia but when it comes to
the Ukrainian Russian border that is
where Russia does not want NATO forces
how do you draw that distinction what is
the issue if Ukraine also becomes a NATO
Nation because several other neighbors
of Russia are already part of
NATO it’s very easily from our point of
view Finland is anti- Russian but
Democratic countries and finish that why
finish government will not send uh will
not start war against Russia because
Finnish government uh represent the
interest of uh Finnish people who wants
peace but in Ukraine we have American
dictatorship terroristic dictatorship
which use ukrainians as slave and in any
moment when Americans want Ukrainian
prox Army to start war against Russian
and some of the Russian regions like
dbas and Crimea this war will be start
so this is the main uh difference
Finland is democratic country ukrainians
under the pressure of the American
dictat uh Mr marov also uh as you
mentioned Russia does not need more more
territories till when do you feel Russia
will keep inching forward in those front
lines towards the eastern part of
Ukraine what is the end goal there is it
uh do they wish to take over Kiev does
Russia wish to take over Kiev is it just
the coastal regions do they limit
themselves to Odessa till how far inside
Ukraine does Russia want to go before
they say okay fine this is now the end
of the
war it’s very simple of course uh
majority in Russia believe that the main
Russian cities who is really Russian
cities as ke ke was capital of Russia
during two centuries and uh uh adessa is
also
100% And Russian city so as a h uh and
of course most of the Russians dream
that those big city will be a part of
the Russia uh but same time on the
Practical level I would say the Russian
government understand that this war over
this big cities could be
very very bloody and very uh um very big
uh that why Russia I think would agree
if Russian people who is Ukrainian
citizens and live in those big cities
will be not you Russian citizens but
only if those Russian people will be not
under the russophobic anti-russian
dictatorship so Russia uh will continue
its military operation until America
United States of America will stop
terroristic detor of the Ukrainian
people and will allow people to speak
Russian language will allow Russian
Orthodox George um to be on the those
territory and will uh stop formation
this military neonazi regime with a big
plan
of to start new war so when United
States will stop its plan to start new
war against Russia by using Ukrainian
Pro Army after this Russia will stop its
military operation Mr marov now uh the
next part I I want to just quickly ask
you one more question this is something
which is a little more on a personal
front it’s not to do with war tactics or
your politics you worked closely with
the Russian president you worked in
you’ve of course been part of the
Russian Parliament I wanted to
understand from you if there’s anything
that you can share regarding the man who
is Vladimir Putin who everyone
understands as and knows as the Russian
president only you’ve known him in a
different sphere as well you’ve known
him worked with him closely as well how
does he see geopolitics at the moment or
at the time when you worked with him and
you feel from his perspective or his
thought process what are his thoughts on
the American leadership would he prefer
Trump if he comes to power or does he
prefer Biden because he made a statement
and he said Biden is predictable so and
he didn’t he left it at that and he’s
he’s a master of his words he spoke just
one line but again that makes everyone
think what is going on in his head if
you can share some light on
that yeah uh a few uh things how I
understand Vladimir Putin
geopolitical views uh first of all small
botom important there are no hopes on
Donald Trump we know very much that
Donald Trump already was a president and
deep stay of United States more strong
than American president uh Donald Trump
was not able to stop uh contct with
Russia and he will be not able again to
stop war against Russia uh it’s first uh
secondly uh Biden uh what is uh first of
all he is very aggressive
russan and secondly Biden are mentally
unable and it means that so we have
so-called uh shadu Team of Joe Biden who
in fact Not Elected and who will run and
who run now by United States of America
in it’s very dangerous where there are
no uh responsibility on one uh leader uh
as about United States of America
Vladimir Putin uh idea main idea that is
that United States of America leadership
is declining and that why uh um America
tried to make reset of of its uh
leadership and uh America prepared for
the big uh many
decades uh competition with China uh but
for those competition with Russia with
China America want to take control of
the Russia Russian territory Russian
government and Russian nuclear rary
because Americans want Russia to be the
proxy regime but not uh friendly Ally of
China uh also uh
important characteristic from Vladimir
Putin that uh United States not just
want uh unipolar world but United States
not able
more to be leader of this unipolar war
and another also
important things which could be for the
past but it’s important even now if you
look at the views of Putin Vladimir
Putin is very Pro Western politician uh
he wants Russia to be part of Europe and
he told we agree with leadership of
United States of America but only if we
are beneficial from those leadership but
if Americans still stolen money from us
if Americans making a russophobic Russia
dictatorship of Ukraine if Americans
prohibited um orod Christianity uh in
Ukraine we cannot be
uh Satisfied by American Le that why we
have to be against America because
Americans very bad to us
all right I will not add anything to
that but then uh that perhaps we’ll
leave the other questions for another
interaction that was uh Dr Serge marov
speaking very clearly on what he feels
about the things that I’ve asked him of
course on current affairs and also on
Vladimir Putin’s thought process
regarding geopolitics and what Russia
feels about America at the moment this
is Dr Serge Marco former spokesman for
President Putin and former member of the
Russian Parliament thank you so much for

kazakistan has maintained strong ties
with Russia its former Soviet Ally
however geopolitical shifts particularly
since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has
seen kazakistan aligning more closely
with Western Nations drawing criticism
from some quarters in
Russia so as kazakistan upgrades its
military capabilities it’s growing
engagement with Western
Nations signals a departure from its

United States support for its
independence and territorial
Integrity Russia has warned of freezing

property and cash of US citizens and
investors and this comes a senior
Russian officials voice strong
opposition to the bill allowing the

no longer send or receive information
from its GPS systems a USB GPS users
Lobby group says Russia is regularly
attacking the aircraft passengers and
sovereignty of NATO countries around 985
GPS outages were recorded in the first
two months of this year near the Baltic
this is seven times more than cases
recorded in the first 2 months of 2023
around
1,371 cases were reported in 2023
flights in and out of Britain are among
thousands that have been affected by
suspected Russian
jamming the GPS jamming sessions mostly
occur around Russia’s scalen grad on
Cliff a key military post for Russia in
fact these signals are also impeding
signals using a used by boats in the
Baltic Sea to this effect Swedish Navy
has also warned about safety of shipping
in mid-march a military plane carrying
British defense secretary gr shars was
hit by GPS jamming on its way back from
Poland over 2,300 Ryan Air flights have
reported incidents of GPS interference
since last August lava’s air Baltic has
reported similar problems as
well Russia’s forces have made further
gains in at least three locations along
the Eastern front in Ukraine including
an advance in the northern KV region
again highlighting kev’s need for
ammunition and weapons from the United
States and other allies Russia’s
tactical advances have increased
drastically and reflect the new Tempo on
the battlefield since the fall of of DFA
in February earlier this year to discuss
matters further and how Russia plans to
keep proceeding for more than this we’re
being joined by Dr Serge marov who’s the
former spokesman for President Vladimir
Putin former member of the Russian
Parliament and director of The Institute
of political studies and Russian politic
iCal scientist joining us right here on
we on world is one pleasure to have you
here Mr marov I wanted to now
immediately start getting your thoughts
on this Russia’s military tactics talk
to us about those as Ukraine demands
more air defense units and Patriot
missiles is Russia kind of stepping up
the pace before those American weapons
make it to the Ukrainian front lines
again uh Russian army uh not increase
the uh offensive against Ukrainian Army
okay Russia don’t put it schedule
according to the schedule of the
American weaponary uh it’s no Russian
army still has no big offense and all
military analysts in the world expected
that such kind of big uh Russian
offensive could be on the summer time uh
but maybe no maybe yes nobody knows
exactly the Strategic
uh operation in Russian uh military
General quarter headquarter but uh
Russia now use the tactic of So-Cal few
thousand small hits against Ukrainian
Army and Russia waiting that in the some
of the part of the Ukrainian front it
will be uh collapse of Ukrainian
military units and it’s exactly what
happening
and the main reason it’s not only some
increasing of the speed of Russia taking
some of the Frankly Speaking small small
villages on the uh in the Danes region
region but most important the reason of
why it happened is because Ukrainian uh
soldiers just left this part of the pro
uh and uh we know that it will be more
American weapon but it will be no more
good Ukrainian soldiers uh because if
you look at the news you can see that uh
hundred of thousands Ukrainian men now
try to uh cross the border and to leave
Ukraine because uh they don’t want uh to
go to Mobil by mobilization to the front
to take part in those War because they
understand that Ukraine has no chance to
win war with Russia and also because
they understand this is not Ukrainian
war against Russia it’s American war
against Russia and Americans use uh
ukrainians as their proxy Army so to
their life interest of Biden Mr marov I
just wanted to now come in and these are
things of course they’ve been discussed
ever since 2022 or February of that year
the world over or I would say at least
in certain parts of the world to put it
more correctly Russia is seen as the
aggressor here that Russia invaded
Ukraine in February 2022 this is the
third year of the war Russia continues
to pound Ukraine that is the narrative
which we see from some parts of the
world from your part of the world sir I
want to understand from you when you how
do you justify the actions which are
taking place on the front lines is does
Russia see this as its own territory
which it needs to seed again does Russia
see this as a threat from NATO that they
don’t want NATO on the front lines and
in case that is the case then what about
Finland which also shares a border with
Russia and NATO forces are positioned
there as well but that is not a point of
contention between Russia and Finland
but Ukraine is how do you differentiate
the two and what is the reason that
Russia sees with its current
Onslaught uh it’s uh very simple Russia
doesn’t need uh new territories and
Russia doesn’t need territor Ukraine
because Russia is the biggest country in
the world and we have a lot of
territories in the East which we uh
should uh you know economically develop
and so on uh Russia what Russia need in
Ukraine uh to take away the real threat
of the new big war because we strongly
believe that United States occupy
Ukraine from
2014 when Ukrainian overr last
democratically elected president of
Ukraine and Americans impose a
russophobic anti-russia dictatorship to
the Ukrainian people and Americans ma
making anti-russian
from uh Ukrainian people from Ukrainian
State and Americans has dream uh has
plan to create a very big strong kind
Russia from Ukraine and then to have
very big War so Russia started small war
in order to avoid big war in future so
now Russia will continue its military
attack until the moment when United
States of America who is real dictator
of the Ukraine would agree that uh this
violence uh with using both terrorist
methods creation or anti-russia from the
ukrainians who is Frankly Speaking
ethnically Russians 80% of them and this
is this plan of formation of an Russia
will be stopped Putin call that is
generification what mean generification
it means that all neonazi groups should
be prohibited and Ne neon groups used by
Americans for violence formation of
anti- russan so if Americans agree
Russia immediately will stop fighting Mr
marov uh I just want to know now you
know uh put little more focus on what I
asked earlier if you can just pinpointed
answer that there are NATO forces in
Finland as well of course the Baltic
states are also NATO Nations what is the
specific issue when it comes to Ukraine
I understand there are very there are
cultural similarities when it comes to
Russia and Ukraine I understand the
Soviet Union uh uh you know uh the
common common factor there which also
has existed in the past but if we solely
look at it from the lens of NATO forces
they are positioned on several other
borders of Russia but when it comes to
the Ukrainian Russian border that is
where Russia does not want NATO forces
how do you draw that distinction what is
the issue if Ukraine also becomes a NATO
Nation because several other neighbors
of Russia are already part of
NATO it’s very easily from our point of
view Finland is anti-russian but
Democratic countries and finish Z why
finish government will not send uh will
not start war against Russia because
Finnish government uh represent the
interest of uh Finnish people who wants
peace but in Ukraine we have American
dictatorship terroristic dictatorship
which use ukrainians as slaves and in
any moment when Americans want Ukrainian
Pro armit to start war against uh Russia
and some of the Russian regions like
dbas and Crimea this war will uh be
start so this is the main uh difference
Finland is democratic country ukrainians
under the pressure of the American
dictator uh Mr marov also uh as you
mentioned Russia does not need more
territories till when do you feel Russia
will keep inching forward in those front
lines towards the eastern part of
Ukraine what is the end goal there is it
uh do they wish to take over Kiev does
Russia wish to take over Kiev is it just
the coastal regions do they limit
themselves to Odessa till how far inside
Ukraine does Russia want to go before
they say okay fine this is now the end
of the
war it’s very simple of course uh
majority in Russia believes that the
main Russian cities who is really
Russian cities as ke ke was capital of
Russia during two centuries and uh uh
adessa is also
100% And Russian city so as
uh and of course most of the Russians
dream that those big city will be a part
of the Russia uh but same time on the
Practical level I would say the Russian
government understand that this war over
this big cities could be very uh very
bloody and very uh um very big uh that
why Russia I think would agree if
Russian people who is Ukrainian citizens
and live in those big cities will be not
you Russian citizens but only if those
Russian people will be not under the
russophobic anti-russian dictatorship so
Russia uh will continue its military
operation until America United States of
America will stop terroristic
dictatorship over the Ukrainian people
and will allow people to speak Russian
language will allow Russian Orthodox
George um to be on the those territory
and will uh stop formation this military
neonazi regime with a big plan of um to
start new war so when United States will
stop its plan to start new war against
Russia by using Ukrainian Pro Army after
this Russia will stop its military
operation Mr marov now uh the next part
I I want to just quickly ask you one
more question this is something which is
a little more on a personal front it’s
not to do with war tactics or
geopolitics you worked closely with the
Russian president you worked in you’ve
of course been part of the Russian
Parliament I wanted to understand from
you if there’s anything that you can
share regarding the man who is Vladimir
Putin who everyone understands as and
knows as the Russian president only
you’ve known him in a different sphere
as well you’ve known him worked with him
closely as well how does he see
geopolitics at the moment or at the time
when you worked with him and you feel
from his perspective or his thought
process what are his thoughts on the
American leadership would he prefer
Trump if he comes to power or does he
prefer Biden because he made a statement
and he said Biden is predictable so and
he didn’t he left it at that and he’s
he’s a master of his words he spoke just
one line but again that makes everyone
think what is going on in his head if
you can share some light on
that yeah uh a few things how I
understand Vladimir Putin
geopolitical views uh first of all small
but important there are no hopes on
Donald Trump we know very much that
Donald Trump already was the president
and deep stay of United say it’s more
strong than American president uh Donald
Trump was not able to stop conflict with
Russia and he will be not able again to
stop war against Russia uh it’s first uh
secondly uh Biden uh what is uh first of
all he is very aggressively an Russian
and secondly Biden mentally unable and
uh it means that so we have so-called uh
shadu Team of Joe Biden who in fact Not
Elected and who will run and who run now
by United States of America in it’s very
dangerous where there are no uh
responsibility on one uh leader uh as
about United States of America Vladimir
Putin uh idea main idea that is that
United States of America leadership is
declining and that why uh uh America
tried to make reset of of its uh
leadership and uh America prepared for
the big uh many
decades uh competition with China uh but
for those competition with Russia with
China America want to take control over
the Russia Russian territory Russian
government and Russian nuclear weary
because Americans want Russia to be the
proxy regime but not uh friendly Ally of
China
uh also uh
important characteristic from Vladimir
Putin that uh United States not just
want uh unipolar world but United States
not able more uh to be leader of this
unipolar war and another also important
uh things which could be for the past
but it’s important even now if you look
at the views of Putin Vladimir Putin is
very proest politician uh he wants
Russia to be part of Europe and he told
we agree with leadership of United
States of America but only if we are
beneficial from those leadership but if
Americans still stolen money from us if
Americans making a russophobic anti
Russia dictatorship of Ukraine if
Americans
prohibited um Orthodox Christianity
uh uh in Ukraine we cannot be
uh Satisfied by American relip that’s
why we have to be against America
because Americans very bad to
us all right I will not add anything to
that but then uh that perhaps we’ll
leave the other questions for another
interaction that was uh Dr Serge marov
speaking very clearly on what he feels
about the things that I’ve asked him of
course on current affairs and also on
Vladimir Putin’s thought process
regarding geopolitics and what Russia
feels about America at the moment this
is Dr Ser Marco former spokesman for
President Putin and former member of the
Russian Parliament thank you so much for
sharing your insights on this thank you

8-year-old Ukrainian Commander who’s in
the thick of the war refuses to let any
challenge come his way more in our next
report take a
look Alexander teran’s mobile artillery

however they can we move out and help
them you Ukraine’s mobilization effort
is struggling amid flagging enthusiasm
more than two years into Russia’s
full-scale Invasion with Russian troops
making progress in the East analysts say
Ukraine’s shortage of Manpower needs to
be addressed earlier this month
Ukrainian President Vladimir zalinski
approved new measures allowing the
military to call up more troops and
strengthen penalties for evasion he also
reduced the mobilization age from 27 to
25 Tran who has been fighting since 2014
said coercion would be unlikely to beat
genuine enthusiasm from a potential
recruit beat him with a stick if you
want but he won’t fight he said in the
United States has procured 81 outdated
Soviet era combat aircrafts from
kazakistan the purpose behind the US
acquisition remains undisclosed but
there is speculation that these
aircrafts will be potentially deployed
in Ukraine where similar jets are still
in service there are reports which
indicate that the Armed Forces of
Ukraine May assemble uh them for spare
parts or even use the obsolete airf
frames as decoys at
airfields now as part of the process
back in October it was announced that
the kazak government was offering 117
Soviet era fighter and bomber aircrafts
for sale by auction this included the MC
31 interceptors the mc27 fighter bombers
the mc29 among others produced in the
1970s and 80s
the declared value of the sale was 1
billion um and which is about $1.7
million averaging
19,300 per aircraft now further among
the aircraft acquired the mikoyan mc31
known as the supersonic Interceptor
crucial for defending Soviet airspace
during the Cold War stands out the mc27
derived from the Mig 23 served as a
ground attack aircraft while the mig29
excelled in air-to-air combat and
remains operational in some air
forces the Z24 or the suco 24 and all
where the Tactical bomber despite its
age continues to serve in various Air
Forces including the Russian Aerospace
forces and Ukrainian Air Force
historically kazakistan has maintained
strong ties with Russia its former
Soviet Ally however geopolitical shifts
particularly since Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine has seen kazakistan aligning
more closely with Western Nations
drawing criticism from some quarters in
Russia so as kazakistan upgrades its
military capabilities it’s growing
engagement with Western
Nations signals a departure from its
historical ties with Moscow the US
Secretary of uh State Anthony blink’s
visit to kazakistan in March 2023
underscored United States support for
its independence and territorial
Integrity Russia is war of freezing us
Assets in the country including property
and cash of US citizens and investors
and this comes a senior Russian
officials voice strong opposition to the
bill allowing the confiscation of
Russian assets the Kremlin deems such
actions illegal and WS of retaliation
should the United States proceed however
legal experts continue to debate the
legitimacy of such measures setting the
stage for a complex diplomatic and legal
standoff
[Music]
uh
closer look at the Frozen Russian assets
reveals a substantial sum totaling
almost $300 billion primarily held in
foreign currencies of the West reuter’s
calculations reveal that a substantial
amount of money is held in European
union and US assets along with other
countries the total amount of foreign
currency and gold reserves total 612
billion
while legally Frozen EU has begun
utilizing the interest generated from
these Holdings arguing for its legality
and necessity in supporting Ukrainian
interests however the utilization and
potential seizure of these assets POS
significant risk to the Global Financial
landscape the standoff threatens to set
a precedent for the weaponization of
financial assets in diplomatic conflicts
critics warn of potential economic
Fallout including destabilization of the
US dollar as the world’s dominant
currency
moreover concerns arise over the
unintended consequences of such actions
including retaliation from other nations
and the potential breakdown of
international legal Norms as diplomatic
efforts continue the world watches
closely aware of the far-reaching
implications of this financial
standoff now Russia continues to make

the primary conclusions are made
determining the type of weapon we will
be able to
announce Skies over the Baltic regions
are becoming dangerous for airplanes
flights have been reporting an
increasing number of missing of fake GPS
signals right and the culprit is Russia
according to Baltic leaders they’ve now
warned that Russia’s dangerous Maneuvers
could cause an air disaster soon fin air
has suspended its flights to the
Estonian City for 1 month due to GPS
interference now the official statement
states that flights will remain supended
between 29th of April and 31st of May
till they come up with an alternative
that doesn’t require GPS altogether now
this comes after two fin
air flights heading to Estonia had to
turn back to Finland due to GPS
interference Estonian Minister described
the act as a Russian hybrid attack the
GPS jamming or blackout episodes Have
Become regular since 2022 according to
Euro control the European Organization
for the safety of air navigation and
offl they’ve been on the rise
now what is GPS jamming all modern
planes are built with equipment that
send and receive constant signals from
Global navigation satellite systems like
us global positioning system the GPS and
Europe’s Galileo this helps the pilot to
navigate during the course of the flight
now what GPS jamming involves is
overloading an aircraft signal equipment
with sustained interference and that it
can no longer send or receive
information from its GPS systems a
us-based GPS users Lobby group says
Russia is regularly attacking the
aircraft passengers and sovereignty of
NATO countries around 985 GPS outages
were recorded in the first two months of
this year near the Baltic this is seven
times more than cases recorded in the
first two months of 2023 around
1,371 cases were reported in 2023
flights in and out of Britain are among
thousands that have been affected by
suspected Russian
jamming the GPS jamming sessions mostly
occur around Russia’s scan gr on Cliff a
key military post for Russia in fact
these signals are also impeding signals
using a used by boats in the Baltic Sea
to this effect Swedish Navy has also
warned about safety of
shipping in mid-march a military plane
carrying British defense secretary gr
shars was hit by GPS jamming on its way
back from Poland over 2,300 Ryan Air
flights have reported incidents of GPS
interference since last August Latvia’s
air Baltic has reported similar problems
as
well Russia’s forces have made further
gains in at least three locations along
the Eastern front in Ukraine including
an advance in the northern KV region
again highlighting kiev’s need for
ammunition and weapons from the United
States and other allies Russia’s
tactical advances have increased
drastically and reflect the new Tempo on
the battlefield since the fall of DFA in
February earlier this year to discuss
matters further and how Russia plans to
keep proceeding for more on this we’re
being joined by Dr Serge marov who’s the
former spokesman for President Vladimir
Putin former member of the Russian
Parliament and director of The Institute
of political studies and Russian
political scientists joining us right
here on we on world is one pleasure to
have you here Mr marov I wanted to now
immediately start getting your thoughts
on this Russia’s military tactics talk
to us about those as Ukraine demands
more air defense units and Patriot
missiles is Russia kind of stepping up
the pace before those American weapons
make it to the Ukrainian front lines
again uh Russian army uh not increase
the uh offensive against Ukrainian Army
okay Russia don’t put it schedule
according to the schedule of the
American weaponary uh it’s no Russian
army still has no big offense and all
military analysts in the world expected
that such kind of big uh Russian
offensive could be on the summer time uh
but maybe no maybe yes nobody knows
exactly the Strategic uh uh operation in
Russian uh military General quarter
headquarter but uh Russia now use the
tactic of SoCal few thousand small hits
against Ukrainian Army and and uh Russia
waiting that in the some of the part of
the Ukrainian front it will be collapse
of Ukrainian military units and it’s
exactly what happening and the main
reason it’s not only some increasing of
the speed of Russia taking some of the
Frank speaking small small villages on
the uh in the danion
region but most important the reason of
why it happened is because Ukrainian uh
soldiers just left this part of the pro
uh and uh uh we know that it will be
more American weapon but it will be no
more good Ukrainian soldiers uh because
if you uh look at the news you can see
that uh hundred of thousands Ukrainian
men now try to to uh cross the border
and to leave Ukraine because uh they
don’t want uh to go to Mobil by
mobilization to the front to take part
in those War because they understand
that Ukraine has no chance to win war
with Russia and also because I
understand this is not Ukrainian war
against Russia it’s American war against
Russia and Americans use ukrainians as
their proxy Army so to their life
interest of Biden Mr marov I just wanted
to now come in and these are things of
course they’ve been discussed ever since
2022 or February of that
year the world over or I would say at
least in certain parts of the world to
put it more correctly Russia is seen as
the aggressor here that Russia invaded
Ukraine in February 2022 this is the
third year of the war Russia continues
to pound Ukraine that is the narrative
which we see from some parts of the
world from your part of the world sir I
want to understand from you when you how
do you justify the actions which are
taking place on the front lines is does
Russia see this as its own territory
which it needs to seed again does Russia
see this as a threat from NATO that they
don’t want NATO on the front lines and
in case that is the case then what about
in Finland which also shares a border
with Russia and NATO forces are
positioned there as well but that is not
a point of contention between Russia and
Finland but Ukraine is how do you
differentiate the two and what is the
reason that Russia sees with its current
Onslaught uh it’s very simple Russia
doesn’t need uh new territories and
Russia doesn’t need territories with
Ukraine because Russia is the biggest
country in the world and we have a lot
of territories in the east of which we
uh should uh you know economically
developed and so uh Russia what Russia
need in Ukraine
uh to take away the real threat of the
new big war because we strongly believe
that United States occupy Ukraine from
2014 when Ukrainian overr L
democratically elected president of
Ukraine and Americans impose a
russophobic under Russia dictatorship to
the Ukrainian people and Americans ma
making anti-russian
from uh Ukrainian people from a
Ukrainian State and Americans has a
dream uh has plan to create a very big
strong kind of Russia from Ukraine and
then to have very big war so Russia
started small War uh in order to avoid
big war in future so now Russia will
continue its military attack until the
moment when United States of America who
is real dictator of the uh Ukraine would
agree that uh this violence uh with
using both terrorist methods creation or
anti-russia from the ukrainians who is
Frankly Speaking ethnically Russians 80%
of them and this is this plan of
formation of anti Russia will be stopped
Putin call it is generification what
means generification it means that all
netic group should be prohibited and Ne
neonazi groups used by Americans for
violence formation of anti- Russia so if
Americans agree Russia immediately will
stop fighting Mr marov uh I just want to
now you know uh put a little more focus
on what I asked earlier if you can just
pinpointed answer that there are NATO
forces in Finland as well of course the
Baltic states are also NATO Nations what
is the specific issue when it comes to
Ukraine I understand there are very
there are cultural similarities when it
comes to Russia and Ukraine I understand
the Soviet Union you know uh the common
common factor there which also has
existed in the past but if we solely
look at it from the lens of NATO forces
they are positioned on several other
borders of Russia but when it comes to
the Ukrainian Russian border that is
where Russia does not want NATO forces
how do you draw that distinction what is
the issue if Ukraine also becomes a NATO
Nation because several other neighbors
of Russia already part of
NATO it’s very easily from our point of
view Finland is anti-russian but
Democratic countries and finish that why
finish government will not send uh will
not start war against Russia because
Finnish government uh represent the
interest of uh Finnish people who wants
peace but in ukra we have American
dictatorship terroristic dictatorship
which use ukraini sles and in any moment
when Americans want Ukrainian proxy Army
to start war against Russian and some of
the Russian regions like danas and
Crimea this war will be started so this
is the main uh difference Finland is
democratic country ukrainians under the
pressure of the American dictatorship uh
Mr marov also uh as you mentioned Russia
does not need more territories till when
do you feel Russia will keep inching
forward in those front lines towards the
eastern part of Ukraine what is the end
goal there is it uh do they wish to take
over Kiev does Russia wish to take over
Kiev is it just the coastal regions do
they limit themselves to Odessa till how
far inside Ukraine does Russia want to
go before they say okay fine this is now
the end of the
war it’s very simple of course uh
majority in Russia believe that the main
Russian cities who is really Russian
cities as ke ke was capital of Russia
during two centuries and adessa is also
100% And Russian city so as a uh and of
course most of the Russians dream that
those big city will be a part of the
Russian uh but same time on the
Practical level I would say the Russian
government and the same understand that
this war over this big cities could be
very uh very bloody and very uh very big
uh that why Russia I think would agree
if Russian people who is Ukrainian
citizens and live in those big cities
will be not Russian citizens but only if
those Russian people will be not under a
russophobic anti-russian dictatorship so
Russia will continue its military
operation until America United States of
America will stop terroristic DET of the
Ukrainian people and will allow people
to speak Russian language will allow
Russian Orthodox George um to be on the
those territory and will uh stop
formation this military new Nazi regime
with a big plan
of to start new war so when United
States will stop its plan to start new
war against Russia by using Ukrainian
proy after this Russia will stop its
military operation Mr marov now uh the
next part I I want to just quickly ask
you one more question this is something
which is a little more on a personal
front it’s not to do with war tactics or
geopolitics you worked Clos L with the
Russian president you’ve worked in
you’ve of course been part of the
Russian Parliament I wanted to
understand from you if there’s anything
that you can share regarding the man who
is Vladimir Putin who everyone
understands as and knows as the Russian
president only you’ve known him in a
different sphere as well you’ve known
and worked with him closely as well how
does he see geopolitics at the moment or
at the time when you worked with him and
you feel from his perspective or his
thought process what are his thoughts on
the American leader leadership would he
prefer Trump if he comes to power or
does he prefer Biden because he made a
statement and he said Biden is
predictable so and he didn’t he left it
at that and he’s he’s a master of his
words he spoke just one line but again
that makes everyone think what is going
on in his head if you can share some
light on
that yeah uh a few uh things how I
understand Vladimir Putin
geopolitical views uh first of all small
but important there are no hope on
Donald Trump we know very much that
Donald Trump already was a president and
deep stay of United States more strong
than American president uh Donald Trump
was not able to stop uh conflict with
Russia and he will be not able again to
stop war against Russia uh it’s first uh
secondly uh Biden uh what is uh first of
all he’s very aggressively anti Russian
and and uh secondly Biden are mentally
unable and it means that so we have
so-called uh shadu Team of Joe Biden who
in fact Not Elected and who will run and
who run now by United States of America
in it’s very dangerous where there are
no uh responsibility on one uh leader uh
as about United States of America
Vladimir Putin uh idea uh main idea that
is that United States of America
leadership is declining and that why uh
U America tried to make reset of of its
uh leadership and uh America prepared
for the big uh many
decades uh competition with China uh but
for those competition with Russia with
China America want to take control over
the Russia Russian territory Russian
government and Russian nuclear rary
because Americans want Russia to be the
proxy regime but not uh friendly Ally of
China uh also uh
important characteristic from Vladimir
Putin that uh United States not just
want uh unipolar world but United States
not able more uh to be leader of this
unipolar war and another also important
uh uh things which could be for the past
but it’s important even now if you look
at the views of Putin Vladimir Putin is
very Pro Western politician uh he want
Russia to be part of Europe and he told
we agree with leadership of United
States of America but only if we are
beneficial from those leadership but if
Americans stolen money from us if
Americans making a russophobic Russia
dictatorship of Ukraine if Americans
prohibited uh um orod
Christianity uh in Ukraine we cannot be
uh Satisfied by American leip that why
we have to be against America because
Americans very bad to
us all right I not add anything to that
but then uh that perhaps we’ll leave the
other questions for another interaction
that was uh Dr Serge marov speaking very
clearly on what he feels about the
things that I’ve asked him of course on
current affairs and also on Vladimir
Putin’s thought process regarding
geopolitics and what Russia feels about
America at the moment this is Dr Serge
Marco former spokesman for President
Putin and former member of the Russian
Parliament thank you so much for sharing

Ukraine’s shortage of Manpower needs to
be addressed earlier this month
Ukrainian president Vladimir zalinski
approved new measures allowing the
military to call up more troops and
strengthen penalties for evasion he also
reduced the mobilization age from 27 to
25 Tran who has been fighting since 2014
said coercion would be unlikely to beat

want but he won’t fight he said in the
United States has procured 81 outdated
Soviet era combat aircrafts from
kazakistan
the purpose behind the US acquisition
remains undisclosed but there is
speculation that these aircrafts will be
potentially deployed in Ukraine where
similar jets are still in service there
are reports which indicate that the
Armed Forces of Ukraine May disassemble
uh them for spare parts or even use the
obsolete air frames as decoys at
airfields now as part of the process
back in October it was announced that
the kazak government was offering 117
Soviet era fighter and bomber aircrafts
for sale by auction this included the
mc31 interceptors the mc27 fighter
bombers the MC 29 among others produced
in the 1970s and
80s the declared value of the sale was 1
billion um and which is about $1.7
million averaging $1
19,300 per aircraft now further among
the aircraft acquired the mik M31 known
as the supersonic Interceptor crucial
for defending Soviet airspace during the
Cold War stands out the Mig 27 derived
from the Mig 23 served as a ground
attack aircraft while the mig29 excelled
in air-to-air combat and remains
operational in some air
forces the Su 24 or the suco 24 and all
we the Tactical bomber despite its age
continues to serve in various Air Forces
including the Russian Aerospace forces
and Ukrainian Air Force historically
kazakistan has maintained strong ties
with Russia its former Soviet Ally
however geopolitical shifts particularly
since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has
seen kazakistan aligning more closely
with Western Nations drawing criticism
from some quarters in
Russia so as kazakistan upgrades its
military capabilities it’s growing
engagement with Western
Nations signals a departure from its
historical ties with Moscow the US
Secretary of uh State Anthony blink’s
visit to kazakistan in March 2023
underscored United States support for
its independence and territorial
Integrity Russia is warned of freezing
us Assets in the country including
property and cash of US citizens and
investors and this comes as senior
Russian officials voice strong
opposition to the bill allowing the
confiscation of Russian assets the
Kremlin deems such actions illegal and
Wands of retaliation should the United
States proceed however legal experts
continue to debate the legitimacy of
such measures setting the stage for a
complex diplomatic and legal standoff
[Music]
a closer look at the Frozen Russian
assets reveals a substantial sum
totaling almost $300 billion doar
primarily held in foreign currencies of
the West reuter’s calculations reveal
that a substantial amount of money is
held in European union and US assets
along with other countries the total
amount of foreign currency and gold
reserves total $612 billion while
legally Frozen EU has begun utilizing
the interest generated from these
Holdings arguing for its legality and
necessity in supporting Ukrainian
interests however the utilization and
potential seizure of these assets POS
significant risk to the Global Financial
landscape the standoff threatens to set
a precedent for the weaponization of
financial assets and diplomatic
conflicts critics warn of potential
economic Fallout including
destabilization of the US dollar as the
world’s dominant currency moreover
concerns arise over the unintended
consequences of such actions including
retaliation from other nations and the
potential breakdown of international
legal Norms as diplomatic efforts
continue the world watches closely aware
of the far-reaching implications of this

the Russian advances in the ongoing War

strike the type of missile is currently

the primary conclusions are made
determining the type of weapon we will
be able to announce Skies over the
Baltic regions are becoming dangerous
for airplanes flights have been
reporting an increasing number of
missing of fake GPS signals right and
the culprit is Russia according to
Baltic leaders they’ve now warned that
Russia’s dangerous Maneuvers could cause
an air disaster faster soon fin air has
suspended its flights to the Estonian
City for 1 month due to GPS
interference now the official statement
states that flights will remain
suspended between 29th of April and 31st
of May till they come up with an
alternative that doesn’t require GPS
altogether now this comes after two fin
air flights heading to Estonia had to
turn back to Finland due to GPS
interference Estonian Minister described
the act as a Russian hybrid attack the
GPS jamming or blackout episodes Have
Become regular since 2022 according to
Euro control the European Organization
for the safety of air navigation and
offl they’ve been on the
rise now what is GPS jamming all modern
planes are built with equipment that
send and receive constant signals from
Global navigation satellite systems like
us global positioning system the GPS and
Europe’s Galileo this helps the pilot to
navigate during the course of the flight
now what GPS jamming involves is
overloading an aircraft signal equipment
with sustained interference that it can
no longer send or receive information
from its GPS systems a USB GPS users
Lobby group says Russia is regularly
attacking the aircraft passengers and
sovereignty of NATO countries around 985
GPS outages were recorded in the first
two months of this year near the Baltic
this is seven times more than cases
recorded in the first 2 months of 2020 3
around
1,371 cases were reported in 2023
flights in and out of Britain are among
thousands that have been affected by
suspected Russian
jamming the GPS jamming sessions mostly
occur around Russia’s kenrad on Cliff a
key military post for Russia in fact
these signals are also impeding signals
using a used by boats in the Baltic Sea
to this effect Swedish Navy has also
warned about safety of
shipping in mid-march a Mil plane
carrying British defense secretary gr
shars was hit by GPS jamming on its way
back from Poland over 2,300 Ryan Air
flights have reported incidents of GPS
interference since last August lava’s
air Baltic has reported similar problems
as
well Russia’s forces have made further
gains in at least three locations along
the Eastern front in Ukraine including
an advance in the northern KV region
again highlighting kev’s need for or
ammunition and weapons from the United
States and other allies Russia’s
tactical advances have increased
drastically and reflect the new Tempo on
the battlefield since the fall of of DFA
in February earlier this year to discuss
matters further and how Russia plans to
keep proceeding for more than this we’re
being joined by Dr Serge marov who’s the
former spokesman for President Vladimir
Putin former member of the Russian
Parliament and director of The Institute
of political studies and Russian
political scientists joining us right
here on we on world is one pleasure to
have you here Mr marov I wanted to now
immediately start getting your thoughts
on this Russia’s military tactics talk
to us about those as Ukraine demands
more air defense units and Patriot
missiles is Russia kind of stepping up
the pace before those American weapons
make it to the Ukrainian front lines
again uh Russian army uh not increase
the offensive against Ukrainian Army
okay Russia don’t put it schedule
according to the schedule of the
American weaponary uh it’s no Russian
army still has no big offens and all
military analysts in the world expected
that such kind of big uh Russian
offensive could be on the summer time uh
but maybe no maybe yes nobody knows
exactly the Strategic uh uh operation in
Russian military General quarter
headquarter but uh Russia now use the
tactic of So-Cal few thousand small hits
against Ukrainian Army and uh Russia
waiting that in the some of the part of
the Ukrainian front it will be a
collapse of Ukrainian military units and
it’s exactly what happening and uh the
main reason it’s not only some
increasing of the speed of Russia taking
some of the Frank speaking small small
villages on the uh in the Danes region
region but most important the reason of
why it happened it’s because Ukrainian
uh soldiers just left this part of the
pro uh and uh we know that it will be
more American Weaponry but it will be no
more good Ukrainian soldiers uh because
if you look at the news you can see that
uh hundred of thousands Ukrainian men
now try to uh cross the border and to
leave Ukraine because uh they don’t want
uh to go to m by mobilization to the
front to take part in those War because
they understand that Ukraine has no
chance to win war with Russia and also
because I understand this is not
Ukrainian war against Russia it’s
American war against Russia and
Americans use uh ukrainians as their
proxy Army so to their life interest of
Biden Mr marov I just wanted to now come
in and these are things of course
they’ve been discussed ever since 2022
or February of that year
the world over or I would say at least
in certain parts of the world to put it
more correctly Russia is seen as the
aggressor here that Russia invaded
Ukraine in February 2022 this is the
third year of the war Russia continues
to pound Ukraine that is the narrative
which we see from some parts of the
world from your part of the world sir I
want to understand from you when you how
do you justify the actions which are
taking place on the front lines is does
Russia see this as its own territory
which it needs to seed again does Russia
see this as a threat for from NATO that
they don’t want NATO on the front lines
and in case that is the case then what
about in Finland which also shares a
border with Russia and NATO forces are
positioned there as well but that is not
a point of contention between Russia and
Finland but Ukraine is how do you
differentiate the two and what is the
reason that Russia sees with its current
Onslaught uh it’s uh very simple Russia
doesn’t need uh new territories and
Russia doesn’t need territories with
Ukraine because Russia is the biggest
country in the world and we have a lot
of territories in the east of which we
uh should you know economically
developed and so uh Russia what Russia
need in Ukraine uh to take away the real
threat of the new big war because we
strongly believe that United States
occupy Ukraine from
2014 when Ukrainian ARR last atically
elected president of Ukraine and
Americans impose russophobic under
Russia dictatorship to the Ukrainian
people and Americans M making
anti-russian
from uh Ukrainian people from a
Ukrainian State and Americans has dream
uh has plan to create a very big strong
kind Russia from Ukraine and then to
have very big war so Russia start small
War uh in order to avoid big war in
future so now Russia will continue its
military attack until the moment when
United States of America with real
dictator of the Ukraine would agree that
uh this violence uh with using both
terrorist methods creation or
anti-russia from the ukrainians who is
Frankly Speaking ethnically Russians 80%
of them and this is this plan of
formation of an Russia will be stopped
Putin calls it is generification what
means generification it means that all
neonazi groups should be prohibited and
Ne neony groups used by Americans for
violence formation of anti- Russia so if
Americans agree Russia immediately will
stop fighting Mr marov uh I just want to
know you know uh put little more focus
on what I asked earlier if you can just
pinpointed answer that there are NATO
forces in Finland as well of course the
Baltic states are also NATO Nations what
is the specific issue when it comes to
Ukraine I understand there are very
there are cultural similarities when it
comes to Russia and Ukraine I understand
the Soviet Union uh you know uh the
common common factor there which also
has existed in the past but if we solely
look at it from the lens of NATO forces
they are positioned on seven other
borders of Russia but when it comes to
the Ukrainian Russian border that is
where Russia does not want NATO forces
how do you draw that distinction what is
the issue if Ukraine also becomes a NATO
Nation because several other neighbors
of Russia are already part of
NATO it’s very easily from our point of
view Finland is anti-russian but
Democratic countries and finish Z why
Finnish government will not send uh will
not start war against against Russia
because Finnish government represent the
interest of uh Finnish people who want
peace but in Ukraine we have American
dictatorship terroristic dictatorship
which use ukrainians as slaves and in
any moment when Americans want Ukrainian
prox Army to start war against Russian
and some of the Russian regions like
dbas and Crimea this war will be start
so this is the main uh difference
Finland is democratic country ukrainians
under the pressure of the American
dictator uh Mr marov also uh as you
mentioned Russia does not need more
territories till when do you feel Russia
will keep inching forward in those front
lines towards the eastern part of
Ukraine what is the end goal there is it
uh do they wish to take over Kiev does
Russia wish to take over Kiev is it just
the coastal regions do they limit
themselves to a
till how far inside Ukraine does Russia
want to go before they say okay fine
this is now the end of the
war it’s very simple of course uh
majority in Russia believe that the main
Russian cities who is really Russian
cities as ke ke was capital of Russia
during two centuries and uh uh adessa is
also
100% And Russian city so as a uh uh and
uh of course most of the Russians dream
that those big city will be a part of
the russan uh but same time on the
Practical level I would say the Russian
government understand that this war over
these big cities could be very uh very
bloody and very uh um very big uh that
why Russia I think would agree if
Russian people who is Ukrainian citizens
and live in those big cities will be not
Russian citizens but only if those
Russian people will be not under the
russophobic anti-russian dictatorship so
Russia uh will continue its military
operation until America United States of
America will stop terroristic
dictatorship of the Ukrainian people and
will allow people to speak Russian
language will allow Russian Orthodox
George um to be on the those territory
and will uh stop formation this military
Neo-Nazi regime with a big plan of um to
start new war so when United States will
stop its plan to start new war against
Russia by using Ukrainian Pro Army after
this Russia will stop its military
operation Mr marov now uh the next part
I I want to just quickly ask you one
more question this is something which is
a little more on a personal front it’s
not to do with war tactics or
geopolitics you worked closely with the
Russian president you worked in you’ve
of course being part of the Russian
Parliament I wanted to understand from
you if there’s anything that you can
share regarding the man who is Vladimir
Putin who everyone understands as and
knows as the Russian president only
you’ve known him in a different as well
you’ve known and worked with him closely
as well how does he see geopolitics at
the moment or at the time when you
worked with him and you feel from his
perspective or his thought process what
are his thoughts on the American
leadership would he prefer Trump if he
comes to power or does he prefer Biden
because he made a statement and he said
Biden is predictable so and he didn’t he
left it at that and he’s he’s a master
of his words he spoke just one line but
again that makes everyone think what is
going on in his head if you can share
some light on
that yeah uh a few uh things how I
understand Vladimir Putin and
geopolitical Views uh first of all small
but important there are no hopes on
Donald Trump we know very much that
Donald Trump already was a president and
deep stay of United States more strong
than American president uh Donald Trump
was not able to stop conflict with
Russia and he will be not able again to
stop war against Russia uh it’s first uh
secondly uh Biden uh what is uh first of
all he is very aggressively an Russian
and secondly Biden mentally unable and
it means that so we have so-called uh
shadu Team of Jo Biden who in fact Not
Elected and who will run and who run now
by United States of America in it’s very
dangerous where there are no uh
responsibility on one uh leader uh as
about United States of America Vladimir
Putin uh idea main idea that is that
United States of America leadership is
declining and that why uh um America
tried to make reset of of its uh
leadership and uh America prepared for
the big
uh many
decades uh competition with China uh but
for those competition with Russia with
China America want to take control over
the Russia Russian territory Russian
government and Russian nuclear weary
because Americans want Russia to be the
proxy regime but not uh friendly Ally of
China uh also uh
important characteristic from Vladimir
Putin that uh United States not just
want uh unipolar world but United States
not able more uh to be leader of this
unipolar war and another also important
uh things which could be for the past
but it’s important even now if you look
at the views of Putin Vladimir Putin is
very Pro Western politician uh he wants
Russia to be part of Europe and he told
we agree with leadership of United
States of America but only if we are
beneficial from those leadership but if
Americans still stolen money from us if
Americans making a russophobic an Russia
dictatorship of Ukraine if Americans
prohibited uh um Orthodox
Christianity uh in Ukraine we cannot be
uh Satisfied by American leadership that
why we have to be against America
because Americans very bad to
us all right I will not add anything to
that but then uh that perhaps we’ll
leave the other questions for another
interaction that was uh Dr Serge marov
speaking very clearly on what he feels
about the things that I’ve asked him of
course on current affairs and also on
Vladimir Putin’s thought process
regarding geopolitics and what Russia
feels about America at the moment this
is Dr Serge Marco former spokesman for
President Putin and former member of the
Russian Parliament thank you so much for
sharing your insights on this thank you

struggling amid flagging enthusiasm more
than 2 years into Russia’s full-scale
Invasion with Russian troops making
progress in the East analysts say
Ukraine’s shortage of Manpower needs to
be addressed earlier this month
Ukrainian President Vladimir zalinski
approved new measures allowing the
military to call up more troops and
strengthen penalties for evasion he also
reduced the mobilization age from 27 to
25 Tran who has been fighting since 2014
said coercion would be unlikely to beat
genuine enthusiasm from a potential
recruit beat him with a stick if you
want but he won’t fight he said in the
United States has procured 81 outdated
Soviet era combat aircrafts from
kazakistan the purpose behind the US
acquisition remains undisclosed but
there is speculation that these
aircrafts will be potentially deployed
in Ukraine where similar jets are still
in service there are reports which
indicate that the Armed Forces of
Ukraine May dissemble uh the them for
spare parts or even use the obsolete
airf frames as decoys at
airfields now as part of the process
back in October it was announced that
the kazak government was offering 117
Soviet era fighter and bomber aircrafts
for sale by auction this included the MC
31 interceptors the MC 27 fighter
bombers the mc29 among others produced
in the 1970s and
80s the declared value of the sale was 1
billion um and which is about $1.7
million averaging $1
19,300 per aircraft now further among
the aircraft acquired the mikoyan M31
known as a supersonic Interceptor
crucial for defending Soviet airspace
during the Cold War stands out the Mig
27 derived from the mc23 served as a
ground attack aircraft while the m29
excelled in airto a combat and remains
operational in some air
forces the Su 24 or the suco 24 and all
where the Tactical bomber despite its
age continues to serve in various Air
Forces including the Russian Aerospace
forces and Ukrainian Air Force
historically kazakistan has maintained
strong ties with Russia its former
Soviet Ally however geopolitical shifts
particularly since Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine has seen kazakistan aligning
more closely with Western Nations
drawing criticism from some quarters in
Russia so as kazakistan upgrades its
military capabilities its growing
engagement with Western
Nations signals a departure from its
historical ties with Moscow the US
Secretary of uh State Anthony blink’s
visit to kazakistan in March 2023
underscored United States support for
its independence and territorial
Integrity Russia has W of freezing us
assets in the country in including
property and cash of US citizens and
investors and this comes as senior
Russian officials voice strong
opposition to the bill allowing the
confiscation of Russian assets the
Kremlin deems such actions illegal and
Wars of retaliation should the United
States proceed however legal experts
continue to debate the legitimacy of
such measures setting the stage for a
complex diplomatic and legal standoff
[Music]
uh
a closer look at the Frozen Russian
assets reveals a substantial sum
totaling almost $300 billion primarily
held in foreign currencies of the West
roer’s calculations reveal that a
substantial amount of money is held in
European union and US assets along with
other countries the total amount of
foreign currency and gold reserves total
$612 billion while legally EU has begun
utilizing the interest generated from
these Holdings arguing for its legality
and necessity in supporting Ukrainian
interests however the utilization and
potential seizure of these assets POS
significant risk to the Global Financial
landscape the standoff threatens to set
a precedent for the weaponization of
financial assets and diplomatic
conflicts critics warn of potential
economic Fallout including
destabilization of the US dollar as the
world’s dominant currency moreover
concern turns arise over the unended
consequences of such actions including
retaliation from other nations and the
potential breakdown of international
legal Norms as diplomatic efforts
continue the world watches closely aware
of the far-reaching implications of this

the Russian advances in the ongoing War
NATO Chief Yen stoltenberg has made an

the type of missile is currently being

the primary conclusions are made
determining the type of weapon we will
be able to announce sky over the Baltic
regions are becoming dangerous for
airplanes flights have been reporting an
increasing number of missing of fake GPS
signals right and the culprit is Russia
according to Baltic leaders they’ve now
warned that Russia’s dangerous Maneuvers
could cause an air disaster soon Finn
air has suspended its flights to the
Estonian City for 1 month due to GPS
interference now the official statement
states that flights will remain
suspended between 29th of April and 31st
of May till they come up with an
alternative that doesn’t require GPS
altogether now this comes after two fin
air flights heading to Estonia had to
turn back to Finland due to GPS
interference Estonian Minister described
the act as a Russian hybrid attack the
GPS jamming or blackout episodes Have
Become regular since 2022 according to
Euro control the European Organization
for the safety of air navigation and
offl they’ve been on the
rise now what is GPS jamming all modern
planes are built with equipment that
send and receive constant signals from
Global navigation satellite systems like
us global positioning system the GPS and
Europe’s Galileo this helps the pilot to
navigate during the course of the flight
now what GPS jamming involves is
overloading an aircraft signal equipment
with sustained interference that it can
no longer send or receive information
from its GPS systems a USB GPS users
Lobby group says Russia is regularly
attacking the aircraft passengers and
sovereignty of NATO countries around 985
GPS outages were recorded in the first
two months of this year near the Baltic
this is seven times more than cases
recorded in the first 2 months of 2023
around
1,371 cases were reported in 2023
flights in and out of Britain are among
thousands that have been affected by
suspected Russian
jamming the GPS jamming sessions mostly
occur around Russia’s calend and grad on
Cliff a key military post for Russia in
fact these signals are also impeding
signals using a used by boats in the
Baltic Sea to this effect Swedish Navy
has also warned about safety of
shipping in mid-march a military plane
carrying British defense secretary Grand
shars was hit by GPS jamming on its way
back from Poland over 2,300 Ryan Air
flights have reported incidents of GPS
interference since last August Latvia’s
air Baltic has reported similar problems
as well
Russia’s forces have made further gains
in at least three locations along the
Eastern front in Ukraine including an
advance in the northern KV region again
highlighting kev’s need for ammunition
and weapons from the United States and
other allies Russia’s tactical advances
have increased drastically and reflect
the new Tempo on the battlefield since
the fall of DFA in February earlier this
year to discuss matters further and how
Russia plans to keep proceeding for more
on this we are being joined by Dr Serge
marov who’s the former spokesman for
President Vladimir Putin former member
of the Russian Parliament and director
of The Institute of political studies
and Russian political scientists joining
us right here on we on world is one
pleasure to have you here Mr marov I
wanted to now immediately start getting
your thoughts on this Russia’s military
tactics talk to us about those as
Ukraine demands more air defense units
and Patriot missiles is Russia kind of
stepping up the pace before those
American weapons make it to the
Ukrainian front lines
again uh Russian army uh not increase
the uh offensive against Ukrainian Army
okay Russia don’t put it schedule
according to the schedule of the
American weaponary uh it’s no Russian
army still has no big offense and uh all
military analysts in the world expect
that such kind of big uh Russian
offensive could be on the summer time
but maybe know maybe yes nobody knows
exactly the Strategic uh uh operation in
Russian uh military General quar
headquarter but uh Russia now use the
tactic of so-called 2,000 small hits
against Ukrainian Army and uh Russia
waiting that in the some of the part of
the Ukrainian front it will be a
collapse of Ukrainian military units and
it’s exactly what are happening and uh
the main reason it’s not only some
increasing of the speed of Russia taking
some of the Frankly Speaking small small
villages on the uh in the Danes region
region but most important the reason of
why it happened it’s because Ukrainian
uh soldiers just left this part of the
appr um and uh uh we know that it will
be more American weaponary but it will
be no more good Ukrainian soldiers uh
because if you uh look at the news you
can see that uh hundreds of thousands
Ukrainian men now try to uh CR cross the
border and to leave Ukraine because uh
they don’t want uh to go to m by
mobilization to the front to take part
in those War because they understand
that Ukraine has no chance to win war
with Russia and also because I
understand this is not Ukrainian war
against Russia it’s American war against
Russia and Americans use uh ukrainians
as their uh proxy Army so to their life
interest of Biden Mr marov I just wanted
to now come in and these are things of
course they’ve been discussed ever since
2022 or February of that
year the world over or I would say at
least in certain parts of the world to
put it more correctly Russia is seen as
the aggressor here that Russia invaded
Ukraine in February 2022 this is the
third year of the war Russia continues
to pound Ukraine that is the narrative
which we see from some parts of the
world from your part of the world sir I
want to understand from you when you how
do you justify the actions which are
taking place on the front lines is does
Russia see this as its own territory
which it needs to seed again does Russia
see this as a threat from NATO that they
don’t want NATO on the front lines and
in case that is the case then what about
in Finland which also shares a border
with Russia and NATO forces are
positioned there as well but that is not
a point of contention between Russia and
Finland but Ukraine is how do you
differentiate the two and what is the
reason that Russia sees with its current
Onslaught uh it’s very simple Russia
doesn’t need uh new territories and
Russia doesn’t need territories with
Ukraine because Russia is the biggest
country in the world and we have a lot
of territories in the East which we uh
should you know economically develop and
so uh Russia what Russia need in Ukraine
uh to take away the real threat of the
new big war because we strongly believe
that United States occupy Ukraine from
2014 when Ukrainian overr last
democratically elected president of
Ukraine and Americans impose a
russophobic under Russia dictatorship to
the Ukrainian people and Americans ma
making anti- Russian from uh UK ukan
people from a Ukrainian State and
Americans has dream uh has plan to
create a very big strong kind Russia
from Ukraine and then to have very big
war so Russia started small War uh in
order to avoid big war in future so now
Russia will continue its military attack
until the moment when United States of
America with real dictator of the
Ukraine would agree that this violence
uh with using both terrorist methods
creation or anti-russian from the
ukrainians who is Frankly Speaking
ethnically Russians 80% of them and this
is this plan of formation of anti Russia
will be stopped Putin call that is
dentification what mean generification
it means that all neonazi groups should
be prohibited and Ne neonazi groups used
by Americans for violence formation of
anti-russia so if Americans agree Russia
immediately will stop fighting Mr marov
uh I just want to now you know uh put a
little more focus on what I asked
earlier if you can just pinpointed
answer that there are NATO forces in
Finland as well of course the Baltic
states are also NATO Nations what is the
specific issue when it comes to Ukraine
I understand there are very there are
cultural similarities when it comes to
Russia and Ukraine I understand the
Soviet Union uh uh you know uh the
common common factor there which also
has existed in the past but if we solely
look at it from the lens of NATO forces
they are positioned on several other
borders of Russia but when it comes to
the Ukrainian Russian border that is
where Russia does not want NATO forces
how do you draw that distinction what is
the issue if Ukraine also becomes a NATO
Nation because several other neighbors
of Russia are already part of NATO
it’s very easily from our point of view
Finland is anti-russian but Democratic
countries and finish that why Finnish
government will not send uh will not
start war against Russia because Finnish
government represent the interest of uh
finish people who wants peace but in
Ukraine we have American dictatorship
terroristic dictatorship which use
ukrainians as slave and in any moment
when Americans want Ukrainian prox Army
to start war against Russian and some of
the Russian regions like danas and
Crimea this war will be start so this is
the main uh difference Finland is
democratic country ukrainians under the
pressure of the American dictator uh Mr
marov also uh as you mentioned Russia
does not need more territories till when
do you feel Russia will keep keep
inching forward in those front lines
towards the eastern part of Ukraine what
is the end goal there is it uh do they
wish to take over Kiev does Russia wish
to take over Kiev is it just the coastal
regions do they limit themselves to
Odessa till how far inside Ukraine does
Russia want to go before they say okay
fine this is now the end of the
war it’s very simple of course uh
majority in Russia believe that the main
Russians cities who is really Russian
cities as ke ke was capital of Russia
during two centuries and uh uh adessa is
also
100% And Russian city so as
a uh and of course most of the Russians
dream that those big city will be a part
of the russan uh but same time on the
Practical level I would say the Russian
government understand that this war over
these big cities could be very uh very
bloody and very uh um very big uh that
why Russia I think would agree if
Russian people who is Ukrainian citizens
and live in those big cities will be not
Russian citizens but only if those
Russian people will be not under the
russophobic and Russian dictatorship so
Russia uh will continue its military
operation until America United States of
America will stop terroristic DET of the
Ukrainian people and will allow people
to speak Russian language will allow
Russian Orthodox
Church to be on the Z territory and will
uh stop formation this military Neo-Nazi
regime uh with a big plan of um to start
new war so when United States will stop
its plan to start new war against Russia
by using Ukrainian Pro Army after this
Russia will stop its military operation
Mr marov now uh the next part I I want
to just quickly ask you one more
question this is something which is a
little more on a personal front it’s not
to do with war tactics or geopolitics
you worked closely with the Russian
president you you worked in you’ve of
course been part of the Russian
Parliament I wanted to understand from
you if there’s anything that you can
share regarding the man who is Vladimir
Putin who everyone understands as and
knows as the Russian president only
you’ve known him in a different sphere
as well you’ve known him worked with him
closely as well how does he see
geopolitics at the moment or at the time
when you worked with him and you feel
from his perspective or his thought
process what are his thoughts on the
American leadership would he prefer
Trump if he comes to power or does he
prefer Biden because he made a statement
and he said Biden is predictable so and
he didn’t he left it at that and he’s
he’s a master of his words he spoke just
one line but again that makes everyone
think what is going on in his head if
you can share some light on
that yeah uh a few things how I
understand Vladimir Putin
geopolitical views uh first of all small
but important there are no hopes on
Donald Trump we know very much that
Donald Trump already was the president
and deep stay of United States more
strong than American president uh Donald
Trump was not able to stop uh conflict
with Russia and he will be not able
again to stop war against Russia uh it’s
first uh secondly uh Biden uh what is uh
first of all he is very aggressively
anti Russian and secondly by
mentally unable and it means that so we
have
so-called shadu team of Joe Biden who in
fact Not Elected and who will run and
who run now by United States of America
in it’s very dangerous where there are
no uh responsibility on one uh leader uh
as about United States of America
Vladimir Putin idea main idea is that is
that United States of America leadership
is declining and that why uh um America
tried to make reset of of its uh
leadership and uh America prepared for
the big uh many
decades uh competition with China uh but
for those competition with Russia with
China America want to take control over
the Russia Russian territory Russian
government and Russian nuclear weary
because Americans want Russia to be the
proxy regime but not uh friendly Ally of
China uh also uh
important characteristic from Vladimir
Putin that uh United States not just
want uh only poolar world but United
States not able more uh to be leader of
this unipolar war and another also
important uh things which could be for
the past but it’s important even now if
you look at the views of Putin Vladimir
Putin is very Pro Western politician uh
he want Russia to be part of Europe and
he told we agree with leadership of
United States of America but only if we
are beneficial from those leadership but
if Americans still stolen money from us
if Americans making a russophobic an
Russia dictatorship of Ukraine if
Americans prohibited uh um orod
Christianity uh in Ukraine we cannot be
uh Satisfied by American leadership that
why we have to be against America
because Americans very bad to
us all right I will not add anything to
that but then uh that perhaps we’ll
leave the other questions for another
interaction that was uh Dr Serge marov
speaking very clearly on what he feels
about the things that I’ve asked him of
course on current affairs and also on
Vladimir Putin’s thought process
regarding geopolitics and what Russia
feels about America at the moment this
is Dr Serge Marco former spokesman for
President Putin and former member of the
Russian Parliament thank you so much for
sharing your insights on this thank you

wrong the 54-year-old has been accused
of passing information to Russian
intelligence service this included the
information like documents related to
munition systems and aircraft technology
ex German Soldier obtained these
documents while working in the German

Thomas approached the Russian General
Consulate in Bon and the Russian Embassy
in Berlin and offered his cooperation in
May of last year he says he was worried
about Germany being dragged into the war
through delivery of weapons to Ukraine
the German soldiers aim was to obtain
information before a possible nuclear
escalation to keep his family safe now
he believed the German government wasn’t
looking out for the security of its
citizens hearing in Thomas’s case are
set to last until late July but this is
not a loan case this month investigators
arrested the German Russian men on
suspicion of spying for Russia and
planning attacks in Germany a former
German intelligence officer is also on

German chancellor schles has clearly

Invasion with Russian troops making
progress in the East analysts say
Ukraine’s shortage of manow needs to be
addressed earlier this month Ukrainian
President Vladimir zalinski Pro new
measures allowing the military to call
up more troops and strengthen penalties
for evasion he also reduced the
mobilization age from 27 to
25 Tran who has been fighting since 2014
said coercion would be unlikely to beat
genuine enthusiasm from a potential

want but he won’t fight he said in the
United States has procured 81 outdated
Soviet era combat aircrafts from
kakistan the purpose behind the the US
acquisition remains undisclosed but
there is speculation that these
aircrafts will be potentially deployed
in Ukraine where similar jets are still
in service there are reports which
indicate that the Armed Forces of
Ukraine May dissemble uh them for spare
parts or even use the obsolete air
frames as decoys at
airfields now as part of the process
back in October it was announced that
the kazak government was offering 117
Soviet era fighter and bomber aircrafts
for sale by auction this included the MC
31 interceptors the MC 27 fighter
bombers the MC 29 among others produced
in the 1970s and
80s the declared value of the sale was 1
billion um and which is about $1.7
million averaging $1
19,300 per aircraft now further among
the aircraft acquired the mikoyan mc31
know known as the supersonic Interceptor
crucial for defending Soviet airspace
during the Cold War stands out the mc27
derived from the M23 served as a ground
attack aircraft while the mig29 excelled
in air-to-air combat and remains
operational in some air
forces the Z24 or the suco 24 and all
wether tactical bomber despite its age
continues to serve in various Air Forces
including the Russian Aerospace forces
and Ukrainian Air Force
historically kazakistan has maintained
strong ties with Russia its former
Soviet Ally however geopolitical shifts
particularly since Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine has seen kazakistan aligning
more closely with Western Nations
drawing criticism from some quarters in
Russia so as kazakistan upgrades its
military capabilities it’s growing
engagement with Western
Nations signals a departure from its
historical ties with Moscow the US
Secretary of State Anthony Lincoln’s
visit to kazakistan in March 2023
underscored United States support for
its independence and territorial

Baltic regions are becoming dangerous
for airplanes flights have been
reporting an increasing number of
missing of fake GPS signals right and
the culprit is Russia according to
Baltic leaders they’ve now warned that
Russia’s dangerous Maneuvers could cause
an air disaster soon fin air has
suspended its flights to the Estonian
City for 1 month due to GPS
interference now the official statement
states that flights will remain
suspended between 29th of April and 31st
of May till they come up with an
alternative that doesn’t require GPS
altogether now this comes after two fin
air flights heading to Estonia had to
turn back to Finland due to GPS
interference Estonian Minister described
the act as a Russian hybrid
attack the GPS jamming or blackout
episodes Have Become regular since 2022
according to Euro control the European
Organization for the safety of air
navigation and offly they’ve been on the
rise now what is GPS jamming all modern
planes are built with equipment that
send and receive constant signals from
Global navigation satellite systems like
us global positioning system the GPS and
Europe’s Galileo this helps the pilot to
navigate during the course of the flight
now what GPS jamming involves is
overloading an aircraft signal equipment
with sustained interference that it can
no longer send or receive information
from its GPS systems a USB GPS users
Lobby group says Russia is regularly
attacking the aircraft passengers and
sovereignty of NATO countries around 985
GPS outages were recorded in the first
two months of this year near the Baltic
this is seven times more than cases
recorded in the first 2 months of 2023
around 1,00 371 cases were reported in
2023 flights in and out of Britain are
among thousands that have been affected
by suspected Russian
jamming the GPS jamming sessions mostly
occur around Russia’s kenrad on Cliff a
key military post for Russia in fact
these signals are also impeding signals
using a used by boats in the Baltic Sea
to this effect Swedish Navy has also
warned about safety of
shipping in mid-march a military plane
carrying British defense secretary Grand
shars was hit by GPS jamming on its way
back from Poland over 2,300 Ryan Air
flights have reported incidents of GPS
interference since last August lava’s
air Baltic has reported similar problems
as
well Russia’s forces have made further
gains in at least three locations along
the Eastern front in Ukraine including
an advance in the northern karv region
again highlighting kev’s need for
ammunition and weapons from the United
States and other allies Russia’s
tactical advances have increased
drastically and reflect the new Tempo on

here on we on world is one a pleasure to
have you here Mr marov I wanted to now
immediately start getting your thoughts
on this Russia’s military tactics talk
to us about those as Ukraine demands
more air defense units and Patriot
missiles is Russia kind of stepping up
the pace before those American weapons
make it to the Ukrainian front lines
again uh Russian army uh not increase
the offensive against Ukrainian Army
okay Russia don’t put it schedule
according to the schedule of the

has clearly said that we can never
accept that Espionage activities take
place in the
country as for the United Nations
sanctions monitors the debr from a
missile that landed in the Ukrainian
city of kar on the 2nd of January well
that debris belonged to a North Korean
Hong 11 series ballistic missile now as
for Russian State media the report
cannot be considered an expert report
it’s not conclusive is Russia using
North Korean missiles in Ukraine well to
discuss this we are being joined by Glen
dies who’s the professor of
international relations University of
Southeastern Norway Glenn always a
pleasure of speaking with you now uh
Reuters is quoting its sources and so is
Russian State media reuter says that you
know it did belong that their sources
suggest and they confirm that the UN
sanctions monitors have said that the
missile the debris it belonged to a
North Korean missile Russian State media
says their sources in the UN have told
them that it’s not a conclusive report
if we just look at it on the basis of
diplomatic ties we all understand Russia
and North Korea have those uh military
tie-ups do you feel pongyang is
providing missiles to which it’s using
in
Ukraine well I know the Russian media
has contested it and obviously I don’t
have the technical expertise to assess
if this is from North Korea and it’s of
of course also difficult to cut through
the fog of War but that being said I
think it’s very likely that Russia has
been sourcing weapons from North Korea
then especially artillery shells and
missiles as well North Korea is a very
militarized country with huge stock
piles it shares a border with Russia it
has friendly relations with Russia so I
guess yeah why would Russia not Source
missiles and shells from North Korea um
as well NATO sending weapons to Ukraine
and it also attempts to buy all
available weapons around the world so I
think Russia a similarly sourcing weapon
so um I I think it’s uh credible uh
although I would like of course like you
to see conclusive
evidence uh again now given the kind of
tie-ups they have it seems likely that
Russia would be using it but if we were
to now just take that as a given that
yes Russia did use North Korean missiles
what does it say about Russia’s war
effort at the moment because now Russia
you know it always comes across as this
military power and it is one but the
fact that it’s having to rely on a a
much smaller neighbor compared to its
own state which is North Korea and it’s
having to use North Korean missiles is
there some kind of a dir of weapons that
Russia is perhaps suffering from at the
moment I understand and there are enough
reports to suggest that Russia’s defense
manufacturing has really boomed over the
course of these last two years plus
since their invasion of Ukraine but why
would they have to use North Korean
missiles even if they
are well I think all even NATO admits
that Russia is out producing uh all of
the NATO countries combined now so
there’s nothing wrong with their
production but however this has been a
very intensive uh War for more than two
years now so obviously getting
additional supplies to what extent they
rely on them or if it’s just additional
uh I I wouldn’t be in a position to say
uh but also why why wouldn’t they get
from North Korea again this is a
neighboring country they have a lot of
weapons uh certainly I assume if if NATO
could access North Korean shells uh NATO
would probably want to get their hands
on them as well so it’s um
it’s a heavily militarized country but
in this instance it’s a positive thing
for Russia if you want to go out and buy
weapons uh so and again the shared
border also uh is not um yeah is
obviously an advantage as well in terms
of uh yeah sourcing weapons uh Glenn
now there is never just a give it’s
never just a take there’s always a give
and a take when it comes to Russia and
North Korea what’s the give and take
relationship there if Russia is sourcing
those missiles from North Korea what
does North Korea get from Russia I’ll
just like to you know take a recap here
uh a few months ago it was last year
when we saw North Korean leader Kim
Jong-un make his way VIA his train his
armored train to the wasni uh Cosmo
Drome and soon after that I think within
months after that we saw North Korea
finally releasing and the launch of a
the successful launch of a North Korean
satellite after which North Korea shared
the photograph of the White House from
the satellite that they had just
launched now is that what North Korea
gains from Russia what’s the give and
take
there well this doesn’t happen in the
open so it would of course be
speculations but uh I’ve what I have
what I’m assuming or at least what I
believe is that uh in the weapon sphere
it appears that Russia is supplying
North Korea with more advanced weapons
Technologies uh satellite Technologies
meanwhile North Korea has a amount of
artillery shells and missiles which it
can ship to Russia so there there is a a
weapons trade going on here at least
that’s what I assume I can’t prove any
of this but this is what appears to be
the case uh as um uh but but this also
of course stretched into other areas of
the economy as well as uh the Russians
and North Koreans have been increasing
uh or working to increase their trade
for quite a few years now if I would
just shift the focus of uh uh the
western side towards the Eastern side
towards North Korea side if North Korea
has its missiles in or rather if Russia
has North Korean missiles in its Arsenal
which are being fired into Ukraine we
all understand North Korea its military
posturing given South Korea and US
military drills at North Korea’s
doorstep is Russia a silent partner
standing behind North Korea without
announcing it if there is any kind of a
conflict which erupts which things have
been on a boil between North Korea and
South
Korea well I think Russia attempts to
avoid ending up in blocks that is
alliances that is we seen the same in
Middle East it would like to get closer
to Iran but also it wants to get closer
to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States so
you know it wants to be closer with
China but it also doesn’t want to
alienate India so it avoids this block
system which the Americans well in the
NATO has promoted very strongly after
the Cold War and I think the same
applies to the Korean Peninsula uh
Russia has worked very hard to develop
closer relationship with both North and
South Korea indeed what we saw in the
90s when Russia began to distance itself
from North Korea it was actually cut out
from a lot of the Diplomatic
arrangements with South Korea simply
because it lost influence in North Korea
so uh Russia has its new diplomatic
approach around the world now entails
establishing good relations effectively
with both sides so I I I think it would
be very incorrect to suggest that
Russia’s well is engaging in a military
block or Alliance or a campaign against
South Korea because uh developing good
economic relations with South Korea has
been a key priority for for Russia but
of course in against as Russia’s now
fighting this proxy war with nato in
Ukraine it will of course accept any
partnership it has now with North Korea
and even even though it’s a small
country it has huge amounts of weapons
so it makes it an interesting partner uh
NATO boss visited Ukraine just recently
and promises more weapons in the coming
days now if NATO is promising those
weapons to Ukraine and it has us already
has the security Aid bill which has been
now signed into law now do you feel
Russia would also be reaching out more
actively towards its Partners or at
least its friendlies when it comes to
the weapons that it need to use in to
continue the the war effort because it’s
in the open that Iranian drones have
been used by Russia uh We’ve now seen
reports of the Hong 11 ballistic missile
debris found in Ukraine do you feel
Russia could perhaps also be reaching
out to China since more NATO nations
would be coming out in support of
Ukraine uh yeah because this is a very
high intense intense War there a huge
amount of Weaponry being used and now
over a long period of time uh but is
also the kind of weapons which are
important I think the it’s mostly
artillery shells it’s drones and it’s
missiles these are the main weapons that
the the Russians are now seeking and
using now in terms of NATO I think the
key problem if even though they’re
signing more money they’re low on
ammunition and also Ukraine is low on
Manpower and it’s for this reason we see
that NATO and Ukraine are losing this
war against Russia now obviously more
weapons will be sent but I think it’s
also worth focusing on the type of
weapons NATO sending because now it’s
sending more long range missiles and
Washington has also greenlighted
striking deep inside Russian territory
now this is obviously to hit
accumulation of soldiers weapon Depots
logistic centers vital
infrastructure U but uh but of course
this is the risk that uh this thin line
between a proxy war and a direct war is
slowly being erased so uh I think this
is what Russia will now also seek to
counter so uh but uh this would probably
result in an escalation in terms of the
war intensifying even further so
probably uh Russia opening a new front
in the north along kov and Sumi and if
this is the case they will also require
much more weapons as they have a huge
Army built up in the rear which is
preparing to enter the war now in a huge
offensive indeed because the as you
mentioned correctly and I agree with
that is what I’m saying that the the
thin line between being a proxy war and
a real war war in the sense a face Toof
face allout front War those lines are
getting blurred very very fast as things
are escalating well into the third year
of the war now and uh us elections are
around the corner and I even spoke
earlier with a former member of
parliament of former member of Russian
Parliament and he mentioned that Russia
doesn’t need more land it it has enough
land of its own they just don’t want us
forces at its border and Ukraine is
where US forces can enforce their
military might against Russia it won’t
happen throughout the other NATO borders
because they are they are uh democracies
of their own and they will not be
willing to attack Russia like a country
like Finland but Ukraine that’s on Shaky
Ground and that’s where Russia stands on
that so this definitely seems like a war
which is continuing and we are seeing
the third year of it playing out in
front of us uh we will be keeping in
touch as the developments come in that

Skies over the Baltic regions are
becoming dangerous for airplanes flights
have been reporting an increasing number
of missing of fake GPS signals right and
the culprit is Russia according to
Baltic leaders they’ve now warned that
Russia’s dangerous Maneuvers could cause
an air disaster soon fin air has
suspended its flights to the Estonian
City for 1 month due to GPS
interference now the official statement
states that flights will remain
suspended between 29th of April and 31st
of May till they come up with an
alternative that doesn’t require GPS
altogether now this comes after two fin
air flights heading to Estonia had to
turn back to Finland due to GPS
interference Estonian Minister described
the act as a Russian hybrid attack the
GPS jamming or blackout episodes Have
Become regular since 2022 according to
Euro control the European Organization
for the safety of air navigation and
offl they’ve been on the
rise now what is GPS jamming all modern
planes are built with equipment that
send and receive constant signals from
Global navigation satellite systems like
us global positioning system the GPS and
Europe’s Galileo this helps the pilot to
navigate during the course of the flight
now what GPS jamming involves is
overloading an aircraft signal equipment
with sustained interference that it can
no longer send or receive information
from its GPS systems
a us-based GPS users Lobby group says
Russia is regularly attacking the
aircraft passengers and sovereignty of
NATO countries around 985 GPS outages
were recorded in the first two months of
this year near the Baltic this is seven
times more than cases recorded in the
first two months of 2023 around
1,371 cases were reported in 2023
flights in and out of Britain are among
thousands that have been affected by
suspected Russian
jamming the GPS jamming s mostly occur
around Russia’s Kalen grad on Cliff a
key military post for Russia in fact
these signals are also impeding signals
using a used by boats in the Baltic Sea
to this effect Swedish Navy has also
warned about safety of
shipping in mid-march a military plane
carrying British defense secretary gr
shars was hit by GPS jamming on its way
back from Poland over 2,300 dryan air
flights have reported incidents of GPS
interference since last August l air

well the Russian invasion of Ukraine has
Unleashed a wave of innovation on the
battlefield well both sides strive to
protect their tanks from deadly threats
and our next report tells you how amidst
exploding drones and Relentless assaults
Moscow has uned a peculiar yet effective
solution the turtle tank take a look at
this one
[Music]
tanks have been a main stay of warfare
for over a century Russia too sent
Columns of these heavy war machines in
the initial weeks of its invasion of
Ukraine but these iron beasts found
themselves vulnerable using Gorilla
tactics ukrainians pinned them down
making the Russian tanks vulnerable to
drone attacks but ever since Moscow has
learned Str strategic lessons and is
using the same tactic on ukrainians
forcing them to remove Abraham’s M1 A1
battle tanks after they were being
repeatedly blown up on the other hand
Russian forces have added extra armor to
their tanks these vehicles are covered
in metal armor on all sides except the
front where the main gun protrudes
resembling the head of a turtle poking
out of its shell this strange design is
a direct adaptation to the specific
challenges posed by Ukraine’s increasing
use of small explosive Laden drones
against Russian armor the turtle tanks
have been spotted in various locations
along the front lines including the
fierce battles around chavar a critical
Ukrainian Health town west of bahmut as
the ukrainians increasingly turn to
small drones packed with explosives to
Target Russian Vehicles these new
defensive structures have become become
a necessary adaptation on the ever
evolving front
lines we have to improvise with what we
have if we don’t have artillery support
because they don’t have shells we have
to find other ways to destroy the enemy
and drones work like nothing else at
least we can get them from
somewhere as the Ukrainian forces wait
for weapon deliveries from the West
Russian forces continue to attack this

of missile hit the building in an
exclusive report by reuter the UN
sanctions monitors have said that the
debris from a missile that landed in the
Ukrainian city of kar on January 2nd has
been identified from a North Korean Hong
11 series ballistic missile our report
has the complete story take a

Ukrainian city of harv on January 2nd
was from a North Korean ballistic
missile that’s according to a report
from United Nations sanctions monitors
to a security Council committee and seen
by ro on
Monday this footage is from days after
the January strike at the time the local
Prosecutors Office showed fragments of
the missile to the media suggesting they
could have been from one supplied by
North Korea in the report the monitors
concluded that the debris was from a
hang 11 series missile and is in
violation of the arms embargo on North
Korea it’s been under un sanction since
2006 over its ballistic missile and
nuclear programs
in their report the monitors say they
quote could not independently identify
from where the missile was launched nor
by whom information about the missile’s
trajectory supplied by Ukraine suggests
it was launched from Russia the report
says Russia and the dprk must be held
accountable for their ACS the US and
others have previously accused North
Korea of transferring weapons to Russia
to use against Ukraine which had invaded
over 2 years ago both have denied the
accusations last year they vowed to
deepen military

still want to fight for their

Ukraine’s shortage of Manpower needs to
be addressed earlier this month
Ukrainian president President Vladimir

United States has procured 81 outdated
Soviet era combat aircrafts from
kakistan the purpose behind the US
acquisition remains undisclosed but
there is speculation that these
aircrafts will be potentially deployed
in Ukraine where similar jets are still
in service there are reports which
indicate that the Armed Forces of
Ukraine May dissemble uh them for spare
parts or even use the obsolete airf
frames as decoys at
airfields now as part of the process
back in October it was announced that
the kazak government was offering 117
Soviet era fighter and bomber aircrafts
for sale by auction this included the
mc31 interceptors the mc27 fighter
bombers the MC 29 among others produced
in the 1970s and
80s the declared value of the sale was 1
billion um and which is about $1.7
million averaging $1
19,300 per aircraft now further among
the aircraft acquired the mikoyan mc31
known as a supersonic Interceptor
crucial for defending Soviet airspace
during the Cold War stands out the Mig
27 derived from the Mig 23 served as a
ground attack aircraft while the mig29
excelled in air to- a combat and remains
operational in some air
forces the Su 24 or the suco 24 and all
wether tactical bomber despite its age
continues to serve in various Air Forces
including the Russian Aerospace forces
and Ukrainian Air Force historically
kazakistan has maintained strong ties
with Russia its former Soviet Ally uh
however geopolitical shifts particularly
since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has
seen kazakistan aligning more closely
with Western Nations drawing criticism
from some quarters in
Russia so as kazakistan upgrades its
military capabilities it’s growing
engagement with Western
Nations signals a departure from its
historical ties with Moscow the US
Secretary of uh State Anthony blink’s
visit to kazakistan in March 2023
underscored United States support for
its independence and territorial
Integrity Russia has warn of freezing us
Assets in the country including property
and cash of US citizens and investors

officials voice strong opposition to the
bill allowing the confiscation of
Russian assets the Kremlin deems such
actions illegal and Wands of rre iation

standoff

standoff an ex- German Soldier has
admitted to spying for Russia during a
trial the soldier claims that he wished
to avoid escalation in the ongoing
Russia Ukraine war during his trial the
former German Soldier admitted that what
he did was wrong the 54-year-old has
been accused of passing information to
Russian intelligence C
this included the information like
documents related to munition systems
and aircraft technology the former
German Soldier obtained these documents
while working in the German Army’s
equipment information technology and
inservice support department according
to prosecutors Thomas approached the
Russian General Consulate in Bourn and
the Russian Embassy in Berlin and
offered his cooperation in May
2023 he says he was worried about
Germany being dragged into the war
through delivery of weapons to Ukraine
the German soldiers aim was to obtain
information before a possible nuclear
escalation to keep his family safe he
believed the German government wasn’t
looking out for the security of its
citizens hearings in Thomas’s case are
said to last until late June but this is
not a lone case this month investigators
arrested two German Russian men on
suspension of spying for Russia and
planning attacks in Germany a former
German intelligence officer is also on
trial in Berlin for spying in November
2022 a German Army Reserve officer was
handed a suspended sentence for passing
information to Russian intelligence
German Chancellor Charles has clearly
said that we can never accept that
Espionage activities take place in the
country
as for the United Nations sanctions
monitors the debris from a missile that
landed in the Ukrainian city of karv on
the 2nd of January well that debris
belonged to a North Korean Hong 11
series ballistic missile now as for
Russian State media the report cannot be
considered an expert report it’s not
conclusive is Russia using North Korean
missiles in Ukraine well to discuss this
we are being joined by Glenn dies who’s
the professor of international relations
University of Southeastern Norway Glen
always a pleasure of speaking with you
now uh Reuters is quoting its sources
and so is Russian State media Reuters
says that you know it did belong that
their sources suggest and they confirm
that the UN sanctions monitors have said
that the missile the debris it belonged
to a North Korean missile Russian State
media says their sources in the UN have
told them that it’s not a conclusive
report if we just look at it on the
basis of diplomatic ties we all
understand Russia and North Kore Korea
have those uh military tie-ups do you
feel pongyang is providing missiles to
Russia which it’s using in
Ukraine well I know the Russian media
has contested it and uh obviously I
don’t have the technical expertise to
assess if this is from North Korea and
it’s of of course also difficult to cut
through the fog of War but that being
said I think it’s very likely that
Russia has been sourcing weapons from
North Korea then especially artillery
shells and missiles as well North Korea
is a very militarized country with huge
stock piles it shares a border with
Russia it has friendly relations with
Russia so I guess yeah why would Russia
not Source missiles and shells from
North Korea um as well NATO sending
weapons to Ukraine and it also attempts
to buy all available weapons around the
world so I think Russia is similarly
sourcing weapon so um I I think it’s uh
credible uh although I would like of
course like you to see conclusive
evidence
uh again now given the kind of tie-ups
they have it seems likely that Russia
would be using it but if we were to now
just take that as a given that yes
Russia did use North Korean missiles
what does it say about Russia’s war
effort at the moment because now Russia
you know it always comes across as this
military power and it is one but the
fact that it’s having to rely on a a
much smaller neighbor compared to its
own state which is North Korea and it’s
having to use North Korean missiles is
there some kind of a dir of weapons that
Russia is perhaps suffering from at the
moment I understand and there are enough
reports to suggest that Russia’s defense
manufacturing has really boomed over the
course of these last two years plus
since their invasion of Ukraine but why
would they have to use North Korean
missiles even if they
are well I think or even NATO admits
that Russia is out producing uh all of
the NATO countries combined now so
there’s nothing wrong with their
production however this has been a very
intensive uh War for more than two years
now so obviously getting additional
supplies uh to what extent they rely on
them or if it’s just additional uh I I
wouldn’t be in a position to say uh but
also why why wouldn’t they get from
North Korea again this is a a
neighboring country they have a lot of
weapons uh certainly I assume if if NATO
could access North Korean shells uh
would probably want to get their hands
on them as well so it’s
um it’s a heavily militarized country
but in this instance is a positive thing
for Russia if you want to go out and buy
weapons uh so and again the shared
border also uh is not um yeah is
obviously an advantage as well in terms
of uh yeah sourcing weapons uh Glenn
now there is never just a give it’s
never just a take there’s always a give
and a take when it comes to Russia and
North Korea what’s the give and take
relationship there if Russia is sourcing
those missiles from North Korea what is
North Korea get from Russia I’ll just
like to you know take a recap here uh a
few months ago it was last year when we
saw North Korean leader Kim Jong-un make
his way VIA his train his armored train
to the wasni uh Cosmo Drome and soon
after that I think within months after
that we saw North Korea finally
releasing and the launch of of the
successful launch of a North Korean
satellite after which North Korea shared
the photograph of the White House from
the satellite that they had just
launched now is that what North Korea
gains from Russia what’s the give and
take
there well this doesn’t happen in the
open so it would of course be
speculations but uh I what I have what
I’m assuming or at least what I believe
is that uh in the weapons spere it
appears that Russia is supplying North
Korea with more advanced weapons
technology
uh satellite Technologies meanwhile
North Korea has a vast amount of
artillery shells and missiles which it
can ship to Russia so there there is a a
weapons trade going on here uh at least
that’s what I assume I can’t prove any
of this but this is what appears to be
the case uh as um uh but but this also
of course stretched into other areas of
the economy as well as uh the Russians
and North Koreans have been increasing
uh or working to increase their trade
for quite a few years now if I were to
just shift the focus of uh the western
side towards the Eastern side towards
North Korea side if North Korea has its
missiles in or rather if Russia has
North Korean missiles in its Arsenal
which are being fired into Ukraine we
all understand North Korea had its
military posturing given South Korea and
US military drills at North Korea’s
doorstep is Russia a silent partner
standing behind North Korea without
announcing it if there is any kind of a
conflict which erupts which things have
been on a boil between North Korea and
South
Korea well I think Russia attempts to
avoid ending up in blocks that is
alliances that is we’ seen the same in
Middle East they would like to get
closer to Iran but also it wants to get
closer to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf
States so you know it wants to be closer
with China but it also doesn’t want to
alienate India so it avoids this block
system which The Americans well in the
NATO has promoted very strongly after
the Cold War and I think the same
applies to the Korean Peninsula uh
Russia has worked very hard to develop
closer relationship with both North and
South Korea indeed what we saw in the
90s when Russia began to distance itself
from North Korea it was actually cut out
from a lot of the Diplomatic
arrangements with South Korea simply
because it lost influence in North Korea
so Russia has its new diplomatic
approach around the world now entails
establishing good relations effectively
with both sides so I I I I think it
would be very incorrect to suggest that
Russia’s well is engaging in a military
uh block or Alliance or campaign against
South Korea because developing good
economic relations with South Korea has
been a key priority for for Russia but
of course in against as Russia’s now
fighting this proxy war with nato in
Ukraine it will of course accept any
partnership it has now with North Korea
even though it’s a small country it has
huge amounts of weapons so it makes it’s
um an interesting partner uh NATO boss
visited Ukraine just recently and
promises more weapons in the coming days
now if NATO is promising those weapons
to Ukraine and it has us already has the
security Aid bill which has been now
signed into law now do you feel Russia
would also be reaching out more actively
toward its Partners or at least its
friendlies when it comes to the weapons
that it need to use in to continue the
the war effort because it’s in the open
that Iranian drones have been used by
Russia uh We’ve now seen reports of the
Hong 11 ballistic missile debris found
in Ukraine do you feel Russia could
perhaps also be reaching out to China
since more NATO nations would be coming
out in support of
Ukraine uh yeah because this is a very
high intense intense War there’s a huge
amount of weaponry being used and now
over a long period of time uh but it’s
also the kind of weapons which are
important I think the it’s mostly
artillery shells his drones and his
missiles these are the main weapons that
the the Russians are now seeking and
using now in terms of NATO I think the
key problem if even though they’re
signing more money they’re low on
ammunition and also Ukraine is low on
Manpower and for this reason we see that
NATO and Ukraine are losing this war
against Russia now obviously more
weapons will be sent but I think is also
worth focusing on the type of weapons
NATO sending because now it’s sending
more long range missiles and Washington
has also greenlighted striking deep
inside Russian territory now this is
obviously to hit accumulation of
soldiers weapon Depot logistic centers
vital
infrastructure U but uh but of course
this is the risk that uh this thin line
between a proxy war and the direct war
is slowly being erased so uh I think
this is what Russia will now also seek
to counter so uh but uh this would
probably result in an escalation in
terms of the war intensifying even
further so probably uh Russia opening a
new front uh in the north along kov and
Sumi and if this is the case they will
also require much more weapons as they
have a huge Army built up in the rear
which is preparing to enter the war now
in a huge
offensive indeed because the as you
mentioned correctly in and I agree with
that is what I’m saying that the the
thin line between being a proxy war and
a real war real war in the sense a face
Toof face allout front War those lines
are getting blurred very very fast as
things are escalating very well into the
third year of the war now and uh us
elections are around the corner and I
even spoke earlier with a former member
of parliament of former member of
Russian Parliament and he mentioned that
Russia doesn’t need more land it it has
enough land of its own they just don’t
want us forces at its border and Ukraine
is US forces can enforce their military
might against Russia it won’t happen
throughout the other NATO borders
because they are they are uh democracies
of their own and they will not be
willing to attack Russia like a country
like Finland but Ukraine that’s on Shaky
Ground and that’s where Russia stands on
that so this definitely seems like a war
which is continuing and we are seeing
the third year of it playing out in
front of us uh we will be keeping in
touch as the developments come in that

Shivan Skies over the Baltic regions are
becoming dangerous for airplanes flights
have been reporting an increasing number
of missing of fake GPS signals right and
the culprit is Russia according to
Baltic leaders they’ve now warned that
Russia’s dangerous Maneuvers could cause
an air disaster soon fin air has
suspended its flights to the Estonian
City for 1 month due to GPS interference
now the official statement states that
flights will remain suspended between
29th of April and 31st of May till they
come up with an alternative that doesn’t
require GPS altogether now this comes
after two fin
air flights heading to Estonia had to
turn back to Finland due to GPS
interference Estonian Minister described
the act as a Russian hybrid attack the
GPS jamming or blackout episodes Have
Become regular since 2022 according to
Euro control the European Organization
for the safety of air navigation and
offl they’ve been on the
rise now what is GPS jamming all modern
planes are built with equipment that
send and receive constant signals from
Global navigation satellite systems like
us global positioning system the GPS and
Europe’s Galileo this helps the pilot to
navigate during the course of the flight
now what GPS jamming involves is
overloading an aircraft signal equipment
with sustained interference and that it
can no longer send or receive
information from its GPS systems a USB
GPS users Lobby group says Russia is
regularly attacking the aircraft
passengers and sovereignty of NATO
countries around 985 GPS outages were
recorded in the first two months of this
year near the Baltic this is seven times
more than cases recorded in the first
two months of 2023 around
1,371 cases were reported in 2023
flights in and out of Britain are among
thousands that have been affected by
suspected Russian
jamming the GPS jamming sessions mostly
occur around Russia’s scend and grad on
Cliff a key military post for Russia in
fact these signals are also impeding
signals using a used by boats in the
Baltic Sea to this effect Swedish Navy
has also warned about safety of
shipping in mid-march a military plane
carrying British defense secretary Grand
shars was hit by GPS jamming on its way
back from Poland over 2,300 Ryan Air
flight have reported incidents of GPS
interference since last August lava’s
air Baltic has reported similar problems
as
well the Russian invasion of Ukraine has
Unleashed a wave of innovation on the
battlefield well both sides strive to
protect their tanks from deadly threats
and our next report tells you how amidst
exploding drones and Relentless assaults
Moscow has unwi a peculiar yet effective
solution the turtle tank take a look at
this
one tanks have been a mean stay of
warfare for over a century Russia too
sent Columns of these heavy war machines
in the initial weeks of its invasion of
Ukraine but these iron beasts found
themselves vulnerable using Gorilla
tactics ukrainians pinned them down
making the Russian tanks vulnerable to
to drone attacks but ever since Moscow
has learned strategic lessons and is
using the same tactic on ukrainians
forcing them to remove Abraham’s M1 A1
battle tanks after they were being
repeatedly blown up on the other hand
Russian forces have added extra armor to
their tanks these vehicles are covered
in metal armor on all sides except the
front where the main gun protrudes
resembling the head of a tur poking out
of its shell this strange design is a
direct adaptation to the specific
challenges posed by Ukraine’s increasing
use of small explosive Laden drones
against Russian armor the turtle tanks
have been spotted in various locations
along the front lines including the
fierce battles around chavar a critical
Ukrainian heal town west of bahmut as
the ukrainians increasingly turn to
small drones packed with explosives to
Target Russian Vehicles these new
defensive structures have become a
necessary adaptation on the ever
evolving front
lights we have to improvise with what we
have if we don’t have artillery support
because they don’t have shells we have
to find other ways to destroy the enemy
and drones work like nothing else at
least we can get them from
somewhere as the Ukrainian forces wait
for weapon deliveries from the West
Russian forces continue to attack this
is the moment when a number of missiles
rain down in Ukraine’s
