good evening for ukraine as well, because there is a lot of positive news coming from the front and from the external political front, because the economic forum in davos is opening right now, and there ukraine will discuss the formula peace for ukraine, and not only for ukraine. literally an hour ago... volodymyr zelenskyi spoke with the president of switzerland and talked about the future holding of the summit on the peace formula. let's listen to what volodymyr zelensky said, speaking in switzerland. today, at the meetings, we noted the success of yesterday's work in the format of advisers on the peace formula. switzerland is efficient. organized the meeting the day before, there was a significant expansion of the representation, already more than 80 countries

, as the president said, and countries and international institutions are involved, we appreciate it, i am grateful to the president, her team, for the agreement that our teams will start tomorrow are starting preparations for the holding in switzerland at the level of the leaders of the global summit of peace and... this summit should fill with the necessary energy everything that has already been achieved and should determine that the end of the war should be exclusively just, and the restoration of the strength of the international community. ms. iryna, tomorrow volodymyr zelensky will give a speech at the world economic summit in davos, but i have a rather simple question for you, when we talk about the peace formula for ukraine, should we not now expand it to the peace formula in europe, because there are a lot of reservations

from the baltic countries and the countries of western europe regarding the possible. with russia, perhaps it would be logical to expand the question of a peace formula for the entire european continent? and it seems to me that this is logical, and we must talk about the security formula for ukraine and for europe, because it is obvious that russia manages to hide any definition even in the word peace, it puts the concept of war as a war, and that is precisely why it is very important, for us to make signs. equality between peace, security, and really not only for ukraine, but also for the european continent, otherwise today, you said a lot of positive news, at the same time you started your program on the analysis of the foreign press, and gave only one material, there pain today gave such a big turn, it is a german newspaper, yes, regarding the possibility

of a long war there and what is possible... germany will have to be more actively involved in it there, such articles are constantly appearing in the world media, where it is very clearly recorded, even the polish media published such forecasts today, the disappointment that if russia makes a breakthrough somewhere, it will cause a new wave of refugees to their country from ukraine, refugees from the war, as well as our baltic countries, neighbors will first of all realize. that if russia is not stopped now, it will feel the weakness of the west, it will move on to provoke further conflicts and the expansion of this disorder and its spheres of influence. mrs. iryna, but here is a completely logical question, which was probably asked even when the g20 summit was held , zelenskyi was not allowed to speak,

they said, well, we have economic issues in general, and although this summit is held there virtually. saw the possible participation of volodymyr zelenskyi in india, he was not given a word to say at the time: now there will be a world economic forum, and does the world often combine what is happening in ukraine with its future, economic future, well , it means whether they see a cause and effect connection that russia's war against ukraine, it works against each of the participants of the global economic. forum and the ukrainian delegation, ukrainians need it speak directly to those people who depend on the economic future of the world? the war has actually been going on for 10 years now, and we're coming up, we're coming up on the second anniversary of the full-scale invasion, and i've been involved

as well in the delegations that used to be there in davos for the economic annual. forum during poroshenko's presidency, and even then we as deputies visited in previous years during zelenskyi's presidency, and it is worth noting that davos always really lives not only in ukraine, not only in europe, on unfortunately, important problems are often discussed there, problems of the global economy there, and problems of ecology, there is covid there and whatever, security, of course, but even in... in the 22nd year, in the 22nd year because of covid the forum was not held in winter for the first time, in may, and it was , a full-scale war had just started then, ukraine was definitely in the center of attention, but it was not the only topic, and you are right that the world is divided indeed, if our european partners realize risks, about the continuation of the war and

delaying it, the countries of the global... level know little about the war and have little involvement in putting pressure on russia. for example, i am very confused by the fact that only countries, essentially the g7 and the eu, joined the sanctions against the russian federation, but over the past two years it has already been able to bypass them through third countries and by adjusting its exports and importing dual-purpose goods that it uses. as we see, and in... in the military-industrial complex, it receives, unfortunately, missiles from north korea, from iran, these drones, and it is obvious that our the expectation that the world, after all, will more actively... join the essential pressure not only against russia, but also against those companies and countries that play along with the aggressor, and it seems to me

that this platform is so unique davoysky, where there are not only european countries, as well as many countries of the global south, asia is also very active there, america must be used first of all to convey this position that... the war will last as long as the russian economy has the finances for it, will be there for it money, and therefore here has to be such a serious blow, and in this context, the last remark, the discussion that finally started in the united states, regarding the possibility of seizing russian assets, their confiscation in favor of ukraine, seems important to me. moscow has already stated that they are considering such possibilities of lawsuits and court cases, but it certainly worries them, but it seems to me that the sooner the better. russian assets will be seized all over the world, these frozen funds, which are absolutely corrupt and terrorist, then rather there is a chance to get closer to peace. may i say, mrs. irena, that

tomorrow and today in davos will work precisely those people and those politicians, those businessmen on whom the future of the world depends, and that it is the center of decision-making, important decisions and regarding. the future of russia as well, because it is clear that there are presidents of countries, and there is a business elite that also influences the presidents of countries, and also influences the world economy. undoubtedly, the argument forum is a unique platform where you can present the position of ukraine, and there are still opportunities to conduct bilateral negotiations of various formats, and therefore i it seems that the ukrainian delegation needs this time as actively as possible. to use, this is the first, second, you are right that this year is the year of elections, not only in the united states, not only in russia, where

putin's pseudo-coups will take place, and this should also be discussed at the davos forum, where yes, the main topic there is always the global economy and the risks associated with security there, but democracy remains also a field of attention, important for davos, and it is worth talking about the fact that these elections... will be illegitimate, putin is going to hold them on the occupied ukrainian territories, how the world, how the world dares to recognize such blasphemy, these will be elections in the countries of the european union, and there may be a lot of changes, these will be elections in great britain, where there may also be changes, and in fact, it seems to me, that's why ukraine needs to realize that from the point of view of the situation, this year is difficult for us, all the leaders will be focused. on internal problems, of course they need ukraine from the point of view of their struggle for democracy, struggle for rules

international, but ukraine should also show respect for these international norms of democracy here, and not let any of our skeptics in some countries, well, you know, be disappointed in certain things that can happen inside. we, of course, wish from the bottom of our hearts. i also wanted to ask you about this davos forum or summit or meeting, let's say the davos meeting of the presidents' advisers regarding the peace formula, and zelenskyi already commented on this meeting and said that ukraine together with its partners are reducing russia's confidence. in the opportunity to impose for predatory world order with the help of terror. let's listen to what zelensky said. the masters

of russia think that they are supposedly capable of using violence and terror, their lies and cruelty to impose some other predatory world order without rules, without any security guarantees. such is their confidence. we are now all together reducing the confidence of murderers with every meeting for the sake of normal international law, the constant expansion of our international work to new regions, to new states, new agreements and for the sake of greater security, ukrainian initiatives are gradually becoming global initiatives, i am grateful to everyone who helps in this. actually, i wanted to ask you, mrs. iryna, about the representation and... the organizers of this action, which is taking place in different countries, that is, yermamak is now the number one person in this process, he is not the minister of foreign

affairs. i did not see dmytro kuleba on this forum, and i quite logically have questions, in fact, whether it is normal for the head of the presidential office to assume the authority to moderate such and such a meeting and is it possible normally if the president can instruct yermak to perform such a function, or yermak? performs the role of the state secretary of the ukrainian state, well, that is, how do you look at it? and first, it is obvious that we are advocating that the ministry of foreign affairs be maximally involved in international negotiations and international events, this is their direct duty, this is their direct work, and in fact , for the world, it is also very important to observe

the rules that are clear here and ok, this is the first. second, i do not want to devalue the efforts of the authorities to peace process, i know that it is all difficult and not easy, at the same time it is really important, well, to remember that this is not the first meeting in the format of advisers, i think that only this past year there were already two or three such meetings, and in it, the key negotiators are indeed not only the head of the president's office, but also the freelance advisers of the president's office, which is quite strange, because these people do not have any mandate from the state, they are not even... counted in the civil service, they, if they have access to state secrets, well, there in the back sits, for example, the panermak at these meetings, ms. darina zarivnaya, yes, she is a freelance adviser to the president's office, and the question is they have access to closed information, secret, if so, then this is also a violation of the relevant legislation, it is obvious that there should be maximum involvement of ukrainian diplomacy, secondly, i want

to say once again that we welcome... all the efforts of the authorities there to bring victory and peace closer, we realize how difficult it is not just to rally the anti-putin coalition, but here it is necessary not to destroy it, when, for example, on vilnius the day before the nato summit, some kind of strange sms is sent, yes, there is a tweet that, well, causes such , you know, emotional rejection of partners, it is not necessary to do this, after all, now is the time for very serious diplomacy, which concerns... preparation for the summit of leaders, about which was announced by the representatives of the authorities, let me also remind you that this is not new information, last year, after several such meetings in the format of advisers, they announced that their key preparation, the key task is to prepare the summit, it is obvious to everyone who is engaged in foreign policy, that the summit but not is going to be just like that, the time of the summit

is when... there are certain grounds for the meeting and the opportunity to either sign a certain document or move forward in the negotiation process. it is obvious that today russia does not show any, or even hints, that it is ready to change its aggressive policy, and therefore, of course, we should be with our partners, who should continue to put pressure on russia here in order to stop the aggression. the key diplomat at... really , you are asking about the composition of the delegation, it is important for there to be professional diplomats, our foreign minister, who, for example, we have been in the parliament for a long time, but we saw last friday, when risha sunak, the british prime minister, spoke in the parliament, such a ukrainian government appeared , this is not normal, after all, they should be in dialogue with the parliament, but our key interlocutor and the diplomat are the armed forces of ukraine, and you rightly said that today is a day

of great news, because... our armed forces have shot down there two russian planes, and this is confirmed by the commander-in-chief, and when in the background about the internationally important visit of president zelensky to davos, there are such positive news from the front, this is actually the best body for negotiations, so that the ukrainian authorities feel more confident, so i want to first of all thank the armed forces of ukraine, who give the opportunity to all our negotiating teams, well, you know, there is a strong need to defend and demand ukraine's support, and here we all have to be worthy of our armed forces. thank you, ms. iryna, for participating in our program, it was iryna gerashchenko, people's deputy of ukraine. friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are currently watching us on the internet, please do not forget to like, do not be stingy, support.
