organizations up to the united nations, yes, i mean the representation that there implements russia as a founding country with the right to transfer it to the status of gaddafi or saddam, well , in general, then the second way is simple, otherwise it is complete nonsense, because it is the eleventh year there were so-called elections, now it is the twenty-fourth, 6 years have passed, and these are elections, which, by the way, it is clear that this is already the sixth election, and he was elected five times, once half a time, count medvedev, that is the same thing same as putin. that's it and his election too, you need it somehow this all, in general, will round off to the side, in which case there will be no chance for any kind of return to the legitimate field. putin is very concerned about this, here is his last visit to the arab emirates and saudi arabia, he was called precisely to break through this blockade of his order mus, at least with the global south, well, china is a separate story there , of course, he can be in china, it is painful for him, it is very important. for example

, macron said that, in response to a journalist's question, putin went to normandy for the eightieth anniversary may be invited, but of course, upon fulfillment of certain conditions, it is clear that under these conditions it means the end of the war, which means compliance with all the requirements that are put to him, it is clear that he will not do this, but the very nature of such an admission by macron, yes , that in principle putin can come, well, i understand that they are asking to deceive putin, they understand that no one is inviting him anywhere, but this is a rhetorical game in order to... putin, you can get rid of the warrant as well, and oh sanctions, well, you have to give way, you it is necessary to return the captured territories to ukraine , i understand, macron did not just make such an attack, that is, it is a signal, well, and the key story is how the recipient of this signal will react , yes, that is, what is the scale of value, well, a person who does not know, half-brian oblast has already placed in avdiivka, well, he will exchange for some such historical overtures, well, of course, he perceives it linearly, he says that the west is the same sale. he is not weak for putin

, this is just another confirmation, he will not divorce, that is, you will not deceive him by tricking him this is what tempts him with the opportunity to return to the international community, to get his reverse international immunity and so on , you will not divorce him, he is not of such a test of a person, that is, he will not be divorced, he will be perceived as you see, they move, drift along the line , that is, we can push them further so that they recognize this right as ours, so they have the right to decide the fate of ukraine there... that this is certainly a big omission, but again, i understand review, why these statements sound, and because suddenly trump will come and we extremes will stay here, one on one with this comrade, and trump declares, let's increase the nato budget there and we are not going to fight for you at all, well, in this situation they ask , it means that this potential threat can be somehow prevented, moved away , so that, god forbid, it’s not enough, that’s why... mark,

finally, in your opinion, the driving force is internal, yes, that is, it is some kind of individual psychedelic, is it putin's conscious desire to fascism normally and enter the third world war, so to speak, the third world war, from vladivostok to lisbon, well, at least on the european continent, especially taking into account the prospect of trump coming to power and a certain isolationism, or putin, so to speak, is trying to... to bluff, to bank, and what will happen, will happen, that's how we thought that he was somehow bluffing with ukraine, that's what we also thought, until a certain moment, well, i understood that after the fourteenth year, i no longer have an illusion it was, i always said that he would attack, but here i am in the fourteenth year for example, i didn't expect that he would seize crimea, for example, i didn't expect it, when i commented on it, i said that it was complete madness, because it doesn't fit in my head, just anything is possible there , there are some hybrids there .

something else is scheming, evading, but the attack will simply capture the territory of the neighboring state, this is not a plan in the head, but everything that followed was quite logically connected, but he now has no opportunity, he may have desires, but there is no opportunity, the war is over , and of course the russian army, the russian military-industrial complex, they are trying to restore everything, it will take years, it is not one day, but it is necessary to solve the problem with ukraine first, in order to build plans for further pressure on europe, on nato, there in some time. after all, first of all, it is necessary to solve ukraine first, because he will not be able to fight on two or three fronts, or even provoke, because he is testing all this, look, here he is again starting this scam with refugees on the finnish border, there they opened points, then closed points, he also checks, as far as the finnish leadership is concerned after joining nato, note that this happened only after joining nato, before that, there were no problems with any refugees at the finnish border checkpoints, he is testing, he is watching how he behaves... the harder he behaves, he

rolls back, the softer, the more backlash he gives, they put their foot into this backlash and, so to speak, try to change the situation in their favor, that's what we observe, that's why. mark, for this extremely interesting and important conversation, i want to remind our viewers that now mark fegin, an activist of the russian position on emigration, a former member of the state duma and a well-known blogger, worked on spresso. try flebodia 600, pink french pills. acute hemorrhoids 600 cure hemorrhoids without any oops, a special performance of the legendary band dead rooster with an orchestra at the lviv opera with the christmas and selected program. early lyrical songs, new christmas

policy, if not everything, then almost everything, will be on the air of the tv channel. i welcome you, mr. ambassador, to the spreso tv studio. congratulations. extremely important story, the news came from the state of colorado. the local court gave ukraine and not only ukraine a chance, yes donald trump may not get into the american election race. when we read the signals from donald trump, we understand that this can directly affect the containment of russian aggression against ukraine. it is a shame that the world does not see the best side of american strategic thinking these days. donald trump represents the so-called america first school, that is, school. the thinking of the 1930s, when the united states had no real interest in european security, it was a disastrous policy, it is not about the policy of the united states government, which was then headed by franklin roosevelt, and about the mood of congress, which prevented roosevelt

from doing more in the fight against hitler. the disaster was that the second world war started, and the west needed stalin to defeat... it was disastrous for poland, for ukraine, for europe and for the united states. so trump represents this bad tradition, which i will be very clear about, as well as my disagreements with former president trump. you asked about the decision in colorado, this is an unprecedented case in american history, because in the united states has never had a president who made an effort to cancel an election and participate. in the rebellion against the political transfer of power. we didn't have this before. section 14 of the constitution states that no agent of the government of the united states who engages in sedition against the government of the united states

shall hold any office. this amendment was passed after the civil war to prevent former confederates from serving in the united states government or congress. once it was applied, but never to a presidential candidate. the colorado supreme court ruled that trump was involved in rebellion against the united states. he too. concluded that under the third section of the 14th amendment, trump is ineligible to become president and therefore ineligible to appear on the ballot. the other side's arguments could be either that trump was not involved in the insurgency, which is a difficult position because we've all seen the opposite, or that he wasn't convicted of supporting or leading the insurgency, and therefore the 14th amendment - will not apply, this will already be a legal issue, in which

the supreme court of the united states will intervene. and i actually expect that they will not uphold the colorado supreme court's decision and will probably determine one way or the other that trump is eligible to run. this will be hotly debated, but in my opinion, trump will still be the presidential candidate. i'm not saying this as a trump supporter. i'm trying to give you an idea of...how things might play out, of course i could be wrong, but that's mine initial view i would like to ask you now to analyze the possible scenarios of the development of events related to the allocation of macroeconomic assistance packages to ukraine and the state of israel. we understand how much ukraine will depend on the receipt of those tranches, and in general, whether the administration of president joseph biden is in a position to convince a part of the republicans through large intra-american budget

negotiations. the secretary of state, antony blinken , said that if anything there is an option b. this is another case that i would rather not speak. the united states should have provided additional economic aid to ukraine a long time ago. i wouldn't say it's been blocked, rather it's been delayed because of the debate in congress over the security of the southern border. congressional officials say a deal on the southern border is needed so that money for southern border security is allocated along with money for israel and ukraine. the current senate of the united states is conducting intensive negotiations in search of a solution to the problem of the southern corridor, which opens the way to finance ukraine. so far, there is no such solution found, but negotiations are postponed until... i think that eventually a solution will be reached and help will be provided to ukraine, but i cannot

guarantee it. so we have the unfortunate case of american and european policies preventing both the eu and the united states from providing the financial assistance that we should be providing. in the european union, the problem is that hungary, in the person of viktor orbán, is blocking the adoption for no good reason. while the republicans in the united states insist on solving the question of the south border before they agree to help ukraine. not the best moment, neither for the united states nor for europe, but i think that in the united states we will manage to find a solution and help ukraine. how europe will cope with viktor orbán, i cannot yet say. well, it will mean that the european union is experiencing. extremely large crisis if he fails to neutralize the influence of viktor orbán on the adoption of geopolitical and historical

decisions. on the other hand, we understand, well, at least we in ukraine have always hoped that common sense and, i don't know, domestic american stories, they may be more powerful than some pro-trump group called maga, and accordingly, we understand that maybe this is just an additional expression of what... don't want to bring up degree of escalation and containment of the russian federation, maybe not. the european union will have to find a way to prevent viktor orbán from blocking processes of strategic importance. orbán will not have an ally in poland, without which he will be isolated, and the european union will find a way to fix it. i don't know how long it will take, i hope it won't be long. support for ukraine in the united states is still strong. after all, we understand how to conduct politics in such a way as to receive

help for ukraine, which will be both in our interests and in the interests of europe and ukraine itself. we will get there, but it is a difficult time and i am very sorry. i say this without an iota of pride or pleasure. the period is difficult, and it gives putin the opportunity to continue to put pressure on ukraine, realizing his dream that the west is divided and paralyzed. to play the role of the polish republic in 1939, because literally a year ago we heard completely different things when it came to macro aid and security aid. i would say that the position of ukraine now is much better than in poland in 1939,

which you mentioned, poland was in a hopeless situation between hitler and stalin, it was being eaten by cuttings. the geography of ukraine is much better, you are open to russia, but friends, not enemies, await you in the west. we will omit hungary for now, but poland is your friend. i haven't forgotten about blockade of truckers and all other disputes, but despite all this, poland is your friend. and ukraine has so far successfully restrained the russian onslaught. not in all aspects, but you did not let putin destroy ukraine. i don't know how the war will end, but i'm sure it won't end with a russian victory parade in kyiv. this is a great achievement of the ukrainian people. the question is in the further course of the war, however, it is extremely unlikely that it will be the destruction of ukraine. so that russia does not advance further, so that ukraine can regain as much of its territory as possible, we are in the west

should support ukraine. to do this, we need to restore the flow of aid. and it depends solely on us. what possible scenarios, mr. ambassador frith, do you see in order to improve our geopolitical and ultimately domestic economic situation as quickly as possible. we understand that war is about resources, military resources, financial resources and human resources. there is another source of resources that you have not mentioned. at the beginning of a full-scale invasion. to ukraine in 2022, the g7 countries blocked russian sovereign assets in their jurisdictions worth more than $300 billion. now this money remains frozen. the question is whether they should be used to help ukraine or to compensate for the damage caused by

putin's war of aggression. for various reasons , the european governments and the united states government do not dare to take this step, but it seems that they are gradually approaching it. i support such a step and believe that we should use these russian funds to help ukraine. the political debate is moving in this direction, and the sooner it reaches the better completion, the better for the world. this is a potential way out for ukraine. however, even under the best of circumstances, these resources will not be available immediately. and yet they are. will be available and using them is the right decision. if we talk about the so-called long geopolitical scenario, if we try to outline the trajectory for the next six months. there can be no accurate predictions in war. in the year that has almost passed, the ukrainian counteroffensive was not as

successful as you and i had hoped, but the russian offensive also failed. ukrainians succeeded force the black sea fleet to retreat and partially open the black sea to ukrainian shipping and exports. i don't know what the next year will bring on the battlefield. if general zaluzhnyi is right and the lack of modern military technology works in favor of ukraine, then the russians will not be able to advance far. maybe the ukrainians won't be able to either. the question is, what additional economic pressure can we put on russia? and what can ukraine do to make it more difficult for the russians to supply crimea? i think the united states should provide more long-range missiles, so that ukraine could make it difficult to hold russian positions. i don't know how the war will end, but certainly not with a russian victory parade on the christening, as i already said. in the new year, the russians will attack again, and we must help

ukraine repel this attack. general zaluzhnyi in his. which was published by vzeeconomist, asked for aviation: we are still waiting for help from the air component, so we understand that this issue is strategic and most likely the kremlin could have seriously warned the united states through one or another closed communication channels, in particular regarding aviation, well, in any case , the f-16 is still not in ukrainian skies, we are extremely counting on the f-16, on the other hand, we understand that the tank component... the same abrams tanks are very good, but extremely an important point is the number of abrams m1 tanks. 31 units is good, but we... for a full-scale war with the russian federation , much more is needed. the us intends to provide ukraine with f-16 fighter jets

capable of helping ukrainian troops on the battlefield. i'm not a military expert, but the military is experts seem to have concluded that one of the problems with ukraine's ground offensive this year is a lack of air superiority, and the f-16 fighters can help provide it. there is no magic weapon that will change everything overnight, but providing the f-16 can help. this will certainly make it difficult for the russians to dominate the airspace over the battlefield, which they managed to do in the summer and fall of last year. therefore, i hope that the fighters will soon be in ukraine. we had hoped that the russian economy would fall much faster and much louder than this happened well, for now we see. big problems in the russian economy, but the key story is whether the so-called inevitable process has already started and whether the kremlin has now succeeded in reorienting itself to the markets of third

countries, the people's republic of china, india and so on, and perhaps turkey. the bad news is that economic pressure on russia has not forced putin to end his war of aggression. the good news is that the pressure is on. we are in the west, europeans and americans. we have the opportunity to increase economic pressure on russia. this one is economical the pressure is that while russia focuses on military production, it is starving its civilian economy and creating economic imbalances that harm it. but how quickly can we inflict economic pain on russia? here it is very important to increase economic pressure and sanctions. much of this has to do with enforcement. european union ogo'. about its 12th package of sanctions. the united states itself announced a new package of sanctions a few days ago. we must continue to prevent others from circumventing

sanctions in order to attack the russian economy more and more pressure. and as i said, we should use the $300 billion in frozen russian assets to help ukraine. mr. ambassador, if we talk about intra-ukrainian transformations, changes and ukrainian. politics through american eyes, we understand that a lot of things are not brought into the public sphere, on the other hand, we understand that rather the administration of president biden, maybe the pentagon and so on, they gave very clear signals, so we can only, well, i personally can only to guess what exactly they could talk about and advise the representatives of the supreme ukrainian authorities during the last month, at the same time we in ukraine were extremely painfully worried, so to speak... rumors that the ukrainian president's administration is dissatisfied with the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general zaluzhny, and so on . i don't

want to start commenting on ukrainian domestic politics. of course, there is a wide range of political views in ukraine, both from ukrainians and from american friends, i have heard calls for the creation of a government of national unity in ukraine, which would unite some of the opposition. but this is not the one. the position that my government takes is just an idea that exists, it is not for me to say what political arrangements will bring the most benefit to ukraine. it is absolutely true that during the most difficult period of the second world war, winston churchill invited his political rivals to the war cabinet. this is how the government of national unity was formed. however , such a model may or may not be applied in ukraine. only ukrainians can decide this. the world admires the president's leadership zelensky, he became the face of ukraine, but of course, we also realize that ukraine is a democracy, and even winston churchill

, after a successful victory over the nazis, was removed from office almost immediately after the war. therefore, politics can be relentless. however, we cannot and do not want to interfere in ukrainian politics, it is none of our business. we want to see a democratic, sovereign, successful ukraine. whether in the united states and in general in the civilized world, in particular, i do not know, at the g7 level, recognize the process that in russia or in the kremlin they call it the presidential election. we understand that putin will appoint himself in a few months. but the key story is whether it will be recognized by the world and what consequences it may lead to, if it is about fixing the moment of usurpation or the seizure of power. imagine that europe or the united states recognize these pseudo-elections. it is quite obvious that putin does not intend to conduct them honestly and democratically. for me, the recognition of such choices is something

in between. impossible and extremely unlikely. we consider putin a dictator, a man who will maintain his power with the help of fear and force, and sometimes murder, throwing into prison or driving out of the country his opponents. that is why he manages to stay in power, he continues to act in the style of stalin, and this will definitely not lead russia to good. instead, there will be a lot of pain until the russian people wake up and realize what this leader has done to them and to... to russia, so we must help ukraine, and the more ukraine succeeds in its struggle for survival, the closer the day will be , when the russian people will be able to choose a different course than vladimir putin. thank you very much, dear mr. ambassador, frit, for this extremely important conversation , i would like to remind our viewers that the former coordinator of the us state department's sanctions policy worked on spresso, a person who is extremely well-informed, in particular, in

those decisions that... are adopted on the highest level in washington. thank you. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. the time of our program has run out, stay with the spresso tv channel. my colleagues you will be informed about all the most important events of the day. i wish you a peaceful and safe christmas. problems with the joints limit movement, it is unpleasant and painful. strengthen them with the help of long joints. these are bags with collagen and vitamin c to restore articular cartilage. arthritis contributes to the normal functioning of joints and has a positive effect on bone health. dolgit joints facilitate motor functions. with long joints, move freely. damn, stepladders, my legs can't walk anymore. wait, me
