does north korea have weapons , well, for example, i’m telling you this theoretically, well, that’s how they started, there are no taurus, and korean ballistic missiles are used, and that ’s another story, and this is a training ground for north korea, for these missiles, south korea knows very well that if the time to prepare these missiles and hit the south is reduced by the times when you have the technical characteristics at the training ground, and unfortunately we have a training ground for them in this way, iran can also... just use it for ballistic missiles, so they understand it, begin to think, change position, there must be a correction of the strategy, and in principle this is a political decision, no matter what they say to me, there are atakams, remember , they said, we don't have enough atakams, we just don't have enough of them, and now suddenly materials have appeared, they are written off, generally destroyed , well, what is this, what is this very alarming signal in fact, well, this is a bad conversation with ukraine, at first you say that you do not have it, you are speaking honestly, well, at least germany has started

to act differently, all- after all, chancellor scholl first came up with reasons, whatever now they say in plain text, well, it’s a strange explanation, taurus won’t help you, but after all, it’s not what they say there, you don’t have experience, you don’t have that, that, so it’s called this war, regulation of escalation , yes, or regulation of dynamics, they did not succeed in this , moreover, this regulation did not help us very much in our attempt to de-occupy last year, it did not help much, because they allocated so much weapons for replacement, which was only enough in their understanding on the attack, yes there is one in one direction, as they thought in the south, this is it that's enough, i'm sorry, that's not how wars are waged, that's definitely not how they're waged, they understand it now, a lot of criticism has been made that this is the drop-by-drop dosing of 30 euro tanks. what will 30 avremus tanks do?

well, it was important to unlock the german supply, right? i understand, but if you are betting on the result, you need to concentrate all the supplies in the coming months, and several hundred missiles, these are not long-range missiles, they are simply missiles that will allow us to hit on the territory of ukraine, even well, you can make a strange decision, yes when we promise not to shoot at... russia there with missiles, well, it's generally some kind of delusion, because , well, just now our partners have just started to change their position, why not, which one, well, what kind of question is this, if they hit our the territory of strategic bombers, and we have no way to cover the base itself, well, i'm not talking about bombers, because they take off far away, but they specifically hit kharkov with missiles that are intended. for anti-aircraft missiles there are

s-300, they hit people in kharkov, here the right during the war is to cover them there is, that is, what is here, and here is the source of supply, so i think that these games will end in a regulated escalation finally, it will end, or maybe on the contrary it will be a prolonged affair, and actually this may be related with the reduction of macrofin, i will tell you the key thing, which i told them. with the facts, i will not reveal the details of our conversations, but i am sure that as soon as the situation in ukraine hangs like this, well, that is, a dynamic, permanent trench war, but there is no movement in this situation, because russia in the defense of 460,000 is standing on our territory, and it is being consolidated, despite the fact that we do not have the means of deoccupation, and they are concentrating on striking a nato country, in parallel.

not that we are what they say, if, if ukraine loses, the next nato countries, no, the formula is different, ukraine will not lose, ukraine in history, it will stretch, then, but wins, everything will win equally, and a blow to you will be inflicted, that's what they underestimate, putin can strike a nato country during the war with ukraine, maybe, because look, i'm not saying that, but simply i don't have there is some secret information , but the first fact: there were plans for russia to attack estonia, operational plans, there were, this is a fact, i can confirm it, a fact, as an option, as a scenario in 2013, and only by a stroke of fate it turned out that they targeted us went, not to estonia. second, look at estonia narva, and this piece, how long it takes to occupy there. narva 89% of russians live in narva,

that is, only 5% of estonians, how many agents of the kgb or fsb are there. so this piece, for, well, i'm not talking about hours, as they say there weeks two or two three days kyiv, i say that it is absolutely realistic, not having a huge advantage there in manpower, to occupy and protest, how nato will react to this, well, there is the question of finland, yes, and this is the direction, this is there, they are creating this district now. they are transferring forces there very quickly, so it is clear that their hands are itching, they will hit there, it’s just that ukraine is now a distraction, but if you put ukraine in defense mode, well, due to the fact that you will not provide it with weapons, then putin will release a part forces and will carry out the provocation

there to raise the stakes to then bargain at the expense of ukraine, that is the scenario, i think, maybe, i would like to ask you about the powers of the delegation. the presidential office, which will discuss the issue of security guarantees, as well as powers and , in general, what are the parameters of what can be discussed. well, regarding the form, when last year istanbul this document , from our side, i then publicly said that it is absolutely wrong, there is no delegation, no chapter, no presidential decree, no directives, now in this case everything went right, there is directives, they are secret. delegations, well, the delegation is a bit strange, because there are few diplomats there, well, as a rule, delegations for negotiations are formed from diplomats, there are either diplomats who have never been abroad,

well, they did not participate in negotiations at all, or simply heads of law enforcement agencies, so this is if i perceive more how to give weight to this delegation, well, if... it is clear that it will not go to negotiations in this composition, conduct negotiations, it will not, that is, it will simply, well, there will be specifically one or two people , which will be on behalf of andriy yermak conduct some kind of preparatory work there, and accordingly, the head of the office will discuss it directly, what worries me here, what worries me is what it is called in relation to security guarantees, our partners categorically do not accept the word guarantees... from the project, all agreements are thrown out, and this they know in the president's office. the president's office explained that they did not deny it in the president's office, because it is true, but they said, well, there will be no assurances, as it was in the budapest memorandum. listen,

this is a stupid explanation, zhovko said, no there will be insurance, so everything is fine, well, this is a delusion, there will be no guarantees, the guarantees have already been thrown out of the draft contract. this was publicly known, so there is no question of any guarantees, as, for example, last year in istanbul the agreement was called about the neutrality of ukraine, yes, and the ukrainian side wanted them to be called about guarantees of some kind, it was called, as russia insisted about the neutrality of ukraine, and everyone who was in the delegation knows it and is afraid to say it, and so on, that's why it's another story, why did i mention istanbul, just the form itself correct formalize now regarding an important issue for ukraine, formalize everything according to the legislation, but really, well, there is an opportunity for the delegation to also take additional, include in the composition, take experts, i think that in this plan they will work, that is, it will work as a parallel process,

the so-called plan b, yes, bilateral agreements, but unfortunately, if i knew that the us or britain would go to an agreement, now the british one is being seriously considered there, would go. to an alliance agreement, such as a common defense, or, for example, the location of the bases on our territory of nato, as now sweden is a signatory of the usa, even before nato membership, then i would say, yes, this is a guarantee, and what is currently being discussed there is the same as what we have today, just will provide for the future, the supply of weapons, the joint production of weapons, the exchange and reporting of information, cyber security, this is also necessary, but i do not understand why it is called the main track, where all our diplomatic, personnel, financial and all resources will go now. and in eriad, what happened in december? i don't know, but secretly, still secretly, knowing what

people from different countries told me, i don't even want to comment on it, because i wasn't there, and i don't want to distort information about an important situation for ukraine, we need to communicate more , now with the person in charge of foreign policy, because the times are over when it was possible to say something like this in a video message: they talked about nato, there are many successes, the vice prime minister, the head. office of the minister, all constructive ideas, we are moving forward, what can i do with it as a leader organizations and part of the advocacy network , what can i do in the direction of nato, i heard something from these video messages, not a word, let's move forward, everything will be fine, i am the leader, i will prove everyone, well, it worked before, now we need to communicate, we need to explain our the position in washington that we will... well, try to achieve, a full invitation to nato or some new steps, that is, unfortunately,

there is no communication about this, not about the meeting that you said, maybe there should have been secretly somehow to do, but certainly not secretly , our steps on the way to nato, so i would like to unite the resources of society this year to achieve important foreign policy goals, if there is no understanding that five or six managers will not make ukraine successful in foreign policy, then there will be failure. if the president and his closest advisors understand that you can involve your supporters, even if they are not in the same bunker with you, then this will be the result, and our enemy is even doing it now, our enemy has understood this, and we still want to achieve total war, victory, without using all our forces in the country, which can only be used. thank you very much, mr. ambassador, for this extremely important and interesting conversation, i want to remind our tv viewers that valery chalyi, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, ambassador of ukraine to the united

states of america in 2015-19 worked for them on espresso. greetings, this is svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already come to the snake itself. the following shots may shock you. news from the scene. live drone attacks, kamikaze. political analysis, lens. and meaningfully, no no political season, exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front. freedom life, frankly and impartially. draw your own conclusions. the espresso channel and ukrainian pen present the self-titled project with myroslava barchuk. a series of conversations with ukrainian and western intellectuals who reflect and comment. the most relevant public discussions, which news will be analyzed by the guests of the project

this week, and actually who will be the guest of the studio, we will find out already this sunday, unequivocally, the topics will be relevant, the guests will be special, their own names with myroslava barchuk, sunday 17:10 at espresso. andriy piondkovskiy, a famous political scientist based in washington, will be on the air of the espresso tv channel. glory to ukraine, andrii andriyovych, congratulations. to the heroes of the word, good day, well, there are extremely powerful meetings with the leaders of the baltic states, lithuania, latvia, estonia, well, accordingly , semi-official statements are already starting to appear, in particular , news arrived from estonia, so to speak, that a certain process is underway , when certain countries, representatives of the west, try to join or intensify the so-called process of a possible truce immediately. stressed, analyzing this situation, that it would be in

putin's interests. pressure in favor of the capitulation of ukraine comes from one source, it has always come from there. this is the so-called left-liberal wing of the democratic party, which controls all the so -called quality press. we have been receiving a stream of articles from the new york times, the washington post, and the hill for several months now. svyok , etc., supposedly the counteroffensive failed, but what do you think, the ukrainians will never be able to win anyway russians, great sacrifices, all this must be stopped, well, talk of a truce, nothing like that, no signals came from the american administration, although it can be blamed for the lack of haste in the deployment of american aid, did you remember zelensky's visit to the baltic countries? speaking together with the lithuanian president at a press conference, he for the first time

quite harshly publicly reprimanded the insufficient aid, especially in a situation where russia is concentrating an incredible amount of offensive means, trying to suppress the ukrainian defense system, to direct the hail of missiles they receive from iran. the statement of the three leaders of the republican party, the heads of the committees at the house of representatives, sounds very positive against this background. these are all well-known friends of ukraine, foreign affairs committee chairman michael, armed forces committee chairman mike rogers and intelligence committee chairman mike turner. this document on 30 sheets is called the plan for victory in ukraine. he sharply criticizes

the insufficient, indecisive assistance of ukraine. american administration. and what a lot interestingly, this document criticizes the narratives of the trumpist republicans, who constantly repeat that aid must be checked, it is not known where it goes, whether it is stolen or not, it is emphasized that 74 audits have been conducted by the pentagon and not a single case of misuse of american military aid has been found. that the goal is victory, the victory of ukraine: the withdrawal of occupation troops from the entire territory of ukraine, those weapons that must be delivered in completely different

quantities, f-16 atakams fighters are listed. about atakams we now have accurate information. and the document requires them to be supplied, accordingly, to dramatically strengthen anti-missile defense. in addition, it is demanded to immediately confiscate and transfer 300 billion confiscated russian funds to help ukraine. by the way, this demand is being considered by the administration. bloomberg reports today. that president biden spoke in support of such a decision, now everything depends on the europeans, because most of these funds are located in europe, but i confirm again, no proposals from the official structures of the republican party there is no pressure on ukraine for the purpose of a truce, on the contrary, there is this very powerful document

of the republican party, which demands to concentrate on the victory in ukraine. what makes this document even more important is that with such attitudes in the republican party, it is impossible to assume that a small group of trumpists will be able to block financial aid to ukraine in the coming days. how many times have i already gotten tired of predicting, but once again i affirm that, given the attitude of the republican party, it is impossible to block financial aid to ukraine. i think this issue will be resolved in the coming days. i do not rule out that the republicans are now in such a mood, it is very interesting and very positive for us. judging by this document from the pre-election speech of the candidate from the republican party, nikki haley, the regen wing of the republican party proposes to make the issue of insufficient

aid bordering on betrayal of ukraine by the biden administration. element of the republican campaign , and in this climate i just don't see how republicans could block this financial assistance. nobody, of course, will put pressure on ukraine, because the pressure is already happening, starting from rakettau, ending with aviation, i don't want to incite some, you know, treason or conspiracy, but this is a step-by-step, you know, pipette support of ukraine, when it comes to importantly. heavy weapons and their quantity, it is alarming in principle, yes, i cannot rule out that it is possible that we would like to deploy some such scenarios that are not entirely pleasant for us, we understand that our budget is tied to a large extent under the american help, we understand that when they start talking about 300 billion frozen russian assets and their transfer to us, it

can be a palliative moment, because in order to adopt such... there must also be a whole series of procedures, it's a matter of time. this is a procedural issue, starting with a political decision. by the way, such a detail was revealed. most of these funds - 210 billion in belgium. the archive of eu securities is located there. this cannot be in any case.

i understand that president zelenskyi's office the president, perhaps, is not very comfortable speaking too positively about him, because he sharply criticizes the biden administration, and the president works with the president, but this is a document of the congress, there is the verkhovna rada, there are interparliamentary connections. i propose to make a maneuver immediately. the document was signed by the three republican heads of the leading committees of the house of representatives. this is defense,

intelligence and foreign policy. there are three such heads in the verkhovna rada, the head of defense-intelligence. if i were them, i would immediately fly to the united states. spent with by these colleagues at the meeting. created such a working group of six. heads of the committees, three of these wonderful republicans, mccall, rogers and turner, and three heads of the ukrainian committees, so that they constantly discuss the plan for the victory of ukraine, discuss and implement it, put pressure on the congress and the council, on the relevant government implementation mechanisms, this is very powerful our ally is forming now, the reagan wing of the republican party is taking over. and it is fair. in our words and yours criticizes biden for insufficient support activity

of ukraine. i also recommend immediately translating it into ukrainian in all mass media, there is an excellent selection of events from 2014. all those stages at which the biden administration constantly slowed down and slowed down the transfer of newer technological means of defense. you remember how painful the bidding was for providing first the hymers, then the patriots, then the abrams, and finally the attacks. this is a new trend. the republican party appears to be framing its election campaign as a criticism of biden for not fulfilling his role as the leader of the free the world and this is a positive trend, it must be supported as much as possible by ukraine. andriy andriyovych, well, i would like to ask you about the forecasts. we are talking about the big davos forum, we understand that the issue of russian aggression against ukraine will be extremely powerful on the agenda there. on the other hand, we understand that most likely

the kremlin also works with certain environments. we saw the reaction of europe on our most difficult day in washington. december 12, when zelensky's visit failed. when he isn't was able to convince the us congress to sign this bill. i don't need to remind you about orbán, we know very well that the project worth 50 billion was approved, and the politically important invitation to start negotiations on admission to the eu for a warring country is unprecedented, and financial aid packages. which provided additional scandinavian countries and acceleration of the process of transfer of aircraft by the scandinavian countries, and criticism, serious criticism of american hesitations and

delays. for example, in the sharp statement of the foreign ministers of france and great britain britain, these fears of europe. europe took the warning very seriously. the american administration, trying to achieve this approval. of the financial plan warned very clearly that refusal would lead to war. i remember austin, god bless him, he was now sitting at the table after the operation and saying: "i am now forced, i am now considering plans to transfer american soldiers to europe, because in the event of the refusal of funding and the success of putin , we'll have to fight the russians, you know what it's all about? failed to convince the members of the chamber, who were hesitant, but it made a huge impression on the europeans. europe has now dramatically increased its political

support for ukraine. in my opinion, this trend will dominate the forum. and the ukrainian delegation should definitely take advantage of this. once again , i call on ukrainians and politicians, first of all the verkhovna rada, to immediately react to this document, to make it an interparliamentary document. once again, i repeat my position to create a permanent commission of three heads. three heads i mentioned: turner, rodgers. mccall and the three heads of the ukrainian verkhovna rada, to make it a political ramstein, you see, there were hopes that ramstein would meet once a month and plan the victory of ukraine, but he did not fulfill this role, it turned into reports about those arms deliveries that are currently moment the americans realized, and there should be a body that daily jointly plans the victory of ukraine. decides what

is needed for this victory. i would like to thank you very much andriy andriyovych for this extremely important and relevant conversation for our tv viewers to remind that andrii pionkovskyi, a famous political scientist who is in washington, was currently working on espresso. the time of our program has run out, stay with the espresso tv channel. my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of this day. take care of yourself and your loved ones. see you on air. good evening, we are from ukraine, i greet you, dear tv viewers, my name is vasyl zema, this is a big broadcast on the espresso tv channel, i and my colleagues are with you for the next hour and 47 minutes, a lot of interesting and important information is waiting for you today, in addition , we will have the opportunity to watch the events in davos live, there will be in particular. ukrainian

side to make its reception, like any country in principle, ukraine always has its own representation there, such a temporary one, so we will observe and discuss in detail what has already happened in davos, the statement of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, statements other leaders and heads of important organizations, what can and will be agreed upon, about we'll talk about that, and we'll start with the announcement of the collection. the spresso tv channel invites you to join the kamikaze drones collection for the legendary. of the eternal 93rd separate mechanized brigade kholodny yar. these soldiers have been actively defending ukraine since the 14th year in the hottest areas. this is the battle for the donetsk summer resort, ilovaisk, battles for sumy region and kharkiv region. soledar and bakhmut in donetsk region. currently, the defenders need kamikaze drones. in sufficient numbers, they can stop almost any offensive and any assault in a matter of minutes enemy, equipment, manpower not only

to stop, but also to destroy. there. where there is no drone wing, the wings of human dreams and hopes are lost, so let's sharpen and strengthen the wings of our army and cut the wings of the soldiers of the occupying country and the aggressor country. well, let's start by talking about the situation in zaporizhzhia, our regions today are represented by important guests and important events, and it is worth understanding what is happening serhii lyshenko, deputy of the zaporizhzhia regional council. mr. serhiy, i congratulate you, good man. p.m. well, the good news is that in zaporizhzhia direction, the armed forces of ukraine manage to destroy the enemy's important firepower, this is a big plus. i deliberately do not ask you about the details, because i understand that this is a question for the operational-structural management of the troops of a certain direction, the direction of tabria, as far as i understand. but what i read today gives me hope that in the future it will be possible, of course, to drive the enemy further. and here is what information was interesting and important.

the amount of damage caused by the occupiers and the occupation of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is in question about 200 billion. what do you think, again, how adequate is this amount, and what , in your opinion, are the main damages and threats today that remain connected with the occupied largest nuclear power plant in europe, mr. serhiy disappeared from us, well now we have him let's join the conversation. here, in addition to the fact that the calculated amount of damage is a lot of 200 billion, again, here we are talking about ecology, and about the damage caused to the zaporozhye nuclear power plant itself, there to the ecosystem, the technological process, the moral damage that was caused, and physical, the moral damages caused to the employees of this station, we know that actually many people have been at the station for two years, there may be some kind of rotation, they are subjected to torture and were subjected to

psychological and moral torture. physical violence, let's recall how they were forced to...
