00:00Crossing live to Ukrainian MP Artyom Dimitryk, who's joining us here on the program for what
00:04will be a very well-rounded conversation. Mr. Dimitryk, a very warm welcome to you. Thank you
00:09for joining us here on RT International. The story goes as follows. Russia is set to hand over 6,000
00:15bodies of Ukrainian servicemen this weekend, but we're apparently seeing mixed signals from
00:20Zelensky. Do you think Kiev will accept them, the 6,000 bodies of deceased Ukrainian servicemen?
00:30I don't think, I know, that Zelensky issued a personal order not to accept the bodies
00:48of the Ukrainian military men who were killed in action. And this situation can become cathartic,
00:58so to say, could be one of the cases that could cause a lot of civilian unrest from the relatives
01:13of those people who were missed in action or killed in action. The relatives of the troops
01:19of the soldiers, they know nothing about. And of course, these people can confront Zelensky
01:32because of this. And it's a very important situation because it was a personal order from
01:40Zelensky not to retrieve these bodies, not to accept these bodies, the bodies of these soldiers,
01:47to stop their families from getting them the bodies of the military killed in action.
01:54I mean, on top of that, I was just going to add, the Ukrainian parliament has recently adopted
01:57legislation, Mr. Dmitryk. It says a person who goes missing due to hostilities can only be officially
02:04declared dead two years after the conflict comes to an end. Some are speculating that could be linked
02:12to the enormous payouts that Kiev would have to make to the families of the deceased. Can you read
02:17between the lines and give me your opinion on that, please?
02:24Well, the simplest reason, the simplest definition, because Zelensky is used to have all these mints, all these funds, all these payouts that the families
02:44of the killed soldiers are supposed to receive and also the families of those who were severely wounded. So he is appropriating all of those via his
02:56proxies, not by the military, not by the soldiers who are there at the front line, but by those pixel freaks, so to say, and they are just taking this money that belongs to the people who were killed, their salary,
03:11and then they just take those payments that their families, families of those who were killed or wounded are supposed to receive. And since Zelensky is used to take all this money for himself to steal all his money for himself. And it's one of the main causes, one of the main reasons why it's happening. And this law is just another way to legalize it.
03:39Because you should understand this. They are just trying to free themselves, to liberate themselves from any responsibility. Just imagine two years after the end of the war and we don't know when the war will end and what way it will end. But nevertheless, they are already establishing this framework. Two years after the war is over.
04:07Two years after the war is over. And they are establishing more and more obstacles. So more people, more families will not be part of this procedure by then because it's going to be very complicated and people, it will stop people from trying to accomplish something in this regard, especially if they will have to go to court to prove something.
04:33And as a conclusion. And as a conclusion, we should say that if it's going on with Zelensky at the helm.
04:40With Zelensky at the helm. Then families, their relatives, they have no chance to learn what happened to their family members, to the servicemen, or especially to receive any payouts for them.
04:58I can cite a good example with the children. Because they use these children to manipulate public opinion. And their colleagues from the West, they did that. They were saying that the Russian Federation abducted millions of Ukrainian children.
05:21Then they were saying about hundreds of thousands kidnapped children. And then they were saying that the Russian authorities kidnapped 20,000 Ukrainian children.
05:32Then it were 300,000 Ukrainian children. But what do we see in reality? That Russia was just saving, Russia was just evacuating children from the territories where hostilities took place.
05:47We need to understand that the Ukrainian authorities practically always is using things like that to manipulate public opinion, to maintain this background, this backdrop of their terrorist regime, the media component of their terrorist regime.
06:06I appreciate you telling that to us here, Mr. Dimitriuk, on international television. I'm very grateful for you being so straightforward with us.
06:13So thank you for your straightforwardness. And thank you for joining us here on RT International.
06:18As you know, I know you know that Russia has proposed a temporary ceasefire in certain areas of the front line for each side to collect bodies from the battlefield.
06:28Ukraine first supported the idea and even began planning. But then hours later Zelensky rejected the whole proposal.
06:37What do you think, Mr. Dimitriuk, the consequences could be both internally and externally if Kiev refuses to accept the bodies?
06:47What good can we expect from a terrorist, from an individual who is perpetrating genocide of his population,
07:10from an individual who is launching terrorist attacks across the world, making assassinations,
07:18carrying out assassinations in Europe or terrorist attack in the territory of the Russian Federation?
07:24He was doing that, he is doing that, and he will be doing that.
07:28So no good should come from this regime. No good can be expected from this regime.
07:34It was a good condition in the Russian memorandum in its second part, the second option of this memorandum,
07:45second option for a ceasefire that in the Kherson region, in the Zaporozhye region, the military can remain.
07:53So basically the stillities are seized along the line of contact.
07:57And then after that, the elections for the president and for the parliament are held.
08:05This condition should make the Ukrainian collective side happy, and Russia as well.
08:14But to hold elections in Ukraine, one would need to stabilize the situation in Ukraine.
08:21And I believe there could be a temporary, an interim government in Ukraine that can be established now as well.
08:34And I'm saying this because only next authorities, new authorities in Ukraine could be engaged in real and genuine negotiations,
08:43because no matter what kind of suggestions, no matter what kind of proposals are made,
08:49the Kyiv regime, the terrorist regime is not going to implement anything,
08:54because any peace initiative contradicts their main goal, their main mission is to train Ukraine
09:02into an anti-Russia, is weakening Russia via the war against Russia.
09:10Meantime, the forced mobilization techniques continue across the country.
09:15Mr. Dmitryk, as Putin said a month or two ago, innocent men being rounded up like stray dogs.
09:21We understand there's a conversation in Kiev about lowering the age limit for conscriptions.
09:28The forced mobilization continues.
09:31Your thoughts on that, just to get it from one person to another?
09:35What are your thoughts on the continued forced mobilization methods?
09:38Well, it's the same what's happening with the family members of the soldiers who went missed an action,
09:56their relatives, they have no idea where their loved ones are.
10:03So, this kind of civil confrontation is enhancing, it's growing.
10:13And it also concerns this unlawful mobilization that is going on in Ukraine.
10:21More and more people are trying to take a stand against this.
10:26More and more people are trying to protect each other, to defend each other.
10:33We saw some riots inside the military enlistment offices,
10:40and more and more people are trying to assist each other, to help each other.
10:44And it will definitely lead to real civil resistance, eventually.
10:53And we all have to believe that this process will be resolved diplomatically when the government is changed,
11:02when the factor in Ukraine is changed.
11:05Because what we are saying, this kind of civil confrontation will throw our country many, many years back.
11:14It will throw our country to worsening relations with the Russian Federation and other countries.
11:24Because this matter must be resolved diplomatically, because any process that is carried out illegitimately, unlawfully, out of the Constitution is a bad thing for our country.
11:41But it may happen.
11:43Maybe it cannot be avoided anymore.
11:45Mr. Dimitrovic, I've been seeing some commentary online in the past 24 hours or so.
11:50I won't mention any names.
11:51But officials in Kiev suggesting, one or two guys suggesting, that as the war seems to be collapsing in Ukraine's favor,
11:59they will now just pursue acts of terror as the next chapter of this conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
12:06We've seen the railway attacks in Bryansk.
12:08We saw Russia's nuclear triad, the strategic airfields, being targeted as well.
12:13One would assume, with the help of Britain's MI6, among others.
12:18How would you assess that commentary?
12:20As one or two guys are saying, as the war is collapsing, we will now pursue acts of terror for the next chapter of the conflict.
12:27Your thoughts on that and how that might affect, perhaps, Kiev's Western sponsors?
12:31Well, first of all, and I would like our audience to understand this.
12:51The war was lost by Ukraine and Russia for the second time.
13:00We all lost, both Ukraine and Russia were lost on February 24th of 2022.
13:07And we continue to be the losing sides.
13:10Because we are losing to this collective West, this jingoist collective West.
13:21Between our countries, there can be no losing side.
13:26Between our peoples, there can be no losing side.
13:28And secondly, what are you talking about?
13:32It's a terrorist regime.
13:33And if that's something that we are taking for granted, then, of course, this regime will continue to employ these methods.
13:40And until they are brought to response for the reactions, we will continue to carry out to stage these attacks across the world, including in the Russian Federation, especially in the Russian Federation.
13:59We are not speaking about some abstract terrorist organizations that are hiding somewhere in the cellars in Ukraine.
14:06No, these are terrorists.
14:09Zelensky and his crew, everyone knows their faces.
14:12Everyone knows their whereabouts.
14:14Everyone knows their names, family names, their positions, the offices they hold.
14:20And these are terrorists who are openly stating, publicly stating that they will continue to stage terrorist attacks.
14:31And while this regime exists, while this terroristic regime exists, they will continue to act in this manner.
14:39And then no one is safe.
14:41While Zelensky's terrorist regime is active, no one is safe.
14:45Because one fights terrorists by a terrorist means.
14:51It has long been invented before us.
14:54Those are very, very brave statements.
14:56It takes a lot of courage, frankly, for you to come on network TV and tell me these statements, Mr. Dimitrik.
15:01We're so grateful, so grateful for you being so straightforward here on RT International.
15:05I wanted to ask you about the sentiment in the Ukrainian parliament, if I may.
15:08Among those, perhaps, who do not support Zelensky, are there others that support new leadership in Ukraine?
15:24I didn't really understand your question.
15:29The sentiment in the Ukrainian parliament, bring us down to the radar.
15:34Among those who do not support Zelensky, are there others that support, perhaps, new leadership in Kiev, after Zelensky, perhaps?
15:42Well, if we think about today's political situation in Ukraine, then it's divided into two parts.
16:01It's the party of war and party of peace, and the party of war in Ukraine is led by Zelensky himself, and I'm a member of the party of peace myself.
16:19And, of course, today in Ukraine, those people who support the party of peace, they are more numerous than those people who might support the party of war.
16:30Ninety percent of the people in Ukraine would demand peace.
16:36That's why any representative of any party of peace, of any movement that is urging peace, if all these processes are legalized, such a person will take their place in the presidential office and in the parliament.
16:55But to help this, the situation in the country must be stabilized, and the elections must be held.
17:02But even today, at the current stage, one can replace the head of the parliament, of the Vrhovna Rada, and the head of the minister's cabinet.
17:13The negotiation team can be completely replaced, and the negotiations could be launched again, and the country could be prepared for the elections.
17:23So, if you ask me about the mood, about the sentiments among the people in Ukraine, if the true elections, honest elections are held, then most people will support another candidate, another political force, the political force that would stand for peace, but not for war.
17:45This is evident, and everyone knows this.
17:50Everyone in Ukraine knows this.
17:51Very interesting comment from you there, sir.
17:53As you described, Kiev is split in two parts, a party of war, a party of peace.
17:59Regarding the party of peace, as you call it, is it strong enough to make a stand and demand what you stand for, and perhaps influence Western partners of Ukraine that keep pushing for war?
18:11So, I would rephrase it.
18:12Is the party of peace strong enough, in numbers as well, to create some sort of change in Kiev?
18:19Well, today, the party of peace in Ukraine can only exist if the negotiations team from Moscow and Washington would agree on this.
18:40Because this party of peace in Ukraine, because this party of peace in Ukraine, members of this party of peace in Ukraine, they were either assassinated by Zelensky or put behind the bars, or, as myself, they had to flee abroad.
18:57So, we can become a part of real political life in Ukraine, only if Moscow and Washington agree on this.
19:07Because while the power in Ukraine has been seized by terrorists, there can be no other political field in Ukraine.
19:17Yeah, yeah.
19:18Strong comment again.
19:19And listen, I'll get you out of here soon on this, if I may, Mr. Dimitrov.
19:22It's so good to have you on RT International today.
19:24I wanted to ask you, you know, we've been having these resumed peace talks in Istanbul.
19:28The Western press was even like, oh, peace talks, ceasefire talks.
19:32But I wanted to ask, what benefit does Ukraine have by publicly calling for peace, but ultimately undermining the peace talks through attacks on Russian territory?
19:43What benefit does Ukraine gain by calling for peace, but carrying out acts of terror?
19:54Well, if the goal for this collective Zelensky is war, how can we speak of any real peace?
20:08It's just bluffing.
20:09It's a mere bluff, not more than that, because Zelensky's goal is not just to preserve war in Ukraine, but to carry out this project to make World War III happen, a real, a genuine World War III happen.
20:28And then he will take his place in this project, because today he is doing everything to drag into this war in Ukraine, more and more participants, more and more countries.
20:40And if today we are speaking about World War III, describe it as something abstract, and Zelensky is doing everything to make this happen, to make it real, because we see how many Western countries are changing their policies.
21:02Many European countries are now trying to arm themselves, now they are making these statements that they are going to enhance military production, weapons production, and that's what Zelensky is looking forward to.
21:15That's what he wants.
21:18And if he consolidates his power, then we can witness a real global conflict.
21:23It's a fascinating comment to wrap up what has been a very intriguing and enlightening conversation with Artyom Dmitryk, the Ukrainian MP, joining us live from London.
21:33It has been a pleasure having you on the program.
