that this is a question, you know, to your intuition. i believe that, firstly, there is an attempt to manipulate, rastovych does not hide it, he says openly: i do not see a political position here, he has gone through various stages in his biography, it seemed to me that a person has become wiser, he is a little more than 50 years old, a year or two , it is necessary to have some consistent position. i am a person who has never changed my position, for which i have been criticized all my life, i have been unequivocal all my life and he has always appreciated that. this does not mean that it is impossible to criticize and change attitude to people, but in the main issues you need to remain who you are. it is impossible if you are a supporter of liberal ideology to become a communist, for me this is nonsense. how do you change your views depending on whether you are in power or not? why did you go there? you were at public events. that there is

some kind of psychological defect in oleksiy aristovych, or something has not been added to him, or he thinks that he has been underestimated, in my opinion, there is something personal here? thank you very much, mark, for this frank and extremely interesting conversation with us i would like to remind tv viewers that mark fegin, an activist of the russian emigration in exile, a former member of the state duma of the russian federation and a well-known blogger, was currently working on spresso. thanks mark, thanks everyone, all the best. hello, this is svoboda ranok, an informational project of radio svoboda. top guests every day. this is the shipping district, kherson, live streaming. we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut. we tell the main thing. on weekdays at 9:00.

watch this week in the judicial control program with tatyana shustrova. the luxurious life of the ex-deputy head of the dnipro district court kherson what happened is an exclusively positive moment. there are mass exonerations of evaders in the court in odesa. actually, it turned out that four judges made all these decisions. on thursday, january 25 at 5:45 p.m., watch the judicial control program with tatiana shustrova on the espresso tv channel. and now matthew bryza, former adviser to the secretary of state of the united states, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the national security council of the united states, will work on the air of the tv channel. greetings, dear mr. ambassador. good day, day. well, first of all i would like to to start our conversation with what happened in davos. the davos forum is a key event when it comes to geopolitical reconciliation.

watches of the european union of the united states and what is called gray power, in particular it is about the financial sector and not only about it, there was the prime minister of china, no one from the russian federation, well , in particular, when we talk about official emissaries, no was, but we understand that this story is extremely important, because it is not just a question of finances, it is a question of medium-term perspectives. for ukraine and generally about supporting our civilizational choice, but russia took an extremely aggressive approach to the davos forum. russia is no longer welcome at the world economic forum in davos, and the russian house, which was once the center of world attention, has given way to the ukrainian house. at least last year , this space in davos was dedicated to the memory of the victims of russian aggression. this is another sign

that russia is moving to the background of the world arena. if earlier it was a desirable partner for many countries, today it is status changed to rogue. the key story is how the european community will behave now, america, in particular, it is about the biden administration and russia. we understand that there is a very long debate between republicans and democrats. ukraine is extremely nervous, if not hysterical , about these intra-american political debates, but we hope for the best. on the other hand, we understand that our european allies are extremely worried, yes, because we see how russia is preparing its population for what is called not just confrontation with the west, but it is about possible aggression against certain nato member states, in particular. in estonia

, they feel extremely, so to speak, threatened. so, what is happening with us from the position of the united states and how ready the united states will be. respond clearly and aggressively in case of immediate danger to the state or aggression against ukraine. we saw on the example of yemen that it is possible to act clearly and boldly. i don't think there is a particular debate in the biden administration about aid to ukraine. the biden administration wants to provide an additional $60 billion in aid to ukraine and prefers more. congress members, as i have already said, want this aid to go to ukraine. there is only a small group of radical far-right republicans who are using biden's desire to provide this aid to ukraine to demand something else from him, including a new policy to protect

the us-mexico border. during the russian invasion of ukraine , the biden administration provided rhetorical support and took its time with military, always supplying the next type of weaponry that ukraine desperately needs with some delay. this trend is likely to continue in the future. i do not predict that in the near future russia will attack the territory of nato, in estonia, latvia or lithuania. russia is stuck in its trenches in ukraine. ukraine successfully pushed back the black sea fleet from its territories, and putin understands that if he starts military operations on the territory of nato, it will lead him to a state of war with the alliance, he does not want that. when i was the head of analytical center in tallinn, after the russian invasion of ukraine in 2014, we were concerned and

studied possible scenarios in which, as in the case of crimea, russia could send troops there while concealing its involvement. let's say the same little green men, these are the scenarios where they claim that russia is useless here, these troops occupy some minor administrative centers, and then putin says: these are russian troops, we captured nato territory. are you ready for a nuclear war to try to liberate these unimportant buildings? it not what worries me, or what is beyond the scope of an article 5 response, should russia attack nato territory. which can permanently discredit nato. dear mr. ambassador, i would like you to analyze now the message from the kremlin, which was voiced by the former president of the russian federation medvedev in his telegram channel. this is an extremely aggressive

text. and it's not that they changed their narratives. so at one time they said that they were fighting, so to speak, with the ukrainian government, which is bad in quotation marks, but... but not now. medvedev announced a plan for an existential war with what is called ukraine, and said that it is simply dangerous for ukrainians to be, and huge claims were made, in particular, about the occupation of our country. let me remind you that medvedev is the deputy secretary of the security council of the russian federation. how should we perceive such threats? since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine, former president and prime minister medvedev has looked inadequate, to say the least, because of his aggressive speeches and constant threats to use nuclear weapons. of course they were just words, but what you say

is deeply troubling because in my opinion it is true. putin, medvedev and the elite of the putin regime decided. that their goal is the destruction of ukraine. they said so. putin spoke about this a few years ago in his very long article in which he denied the existence of the ukrainian nation. therefore, putin's goal is to destroy ukraine. however, he does not succeed. why does medvedev speak like that? in my opinion, such possibly sincere, but unattainable goals are related to what he wants to position. himself among putin's elite, as we say in english, trying to be more catholic than the pope. i believe that there is no chance that russia will achieve such goals. however, there is a need for europe and the united states to provide the promised

aid to ukraine immediately. and that ukraine could effectively and better than now protect its sky. it is absurd to expect that... ukraine will be able to dislodge entrenched russian forces without controlling the sky. yes, well, in any case , we are seeing certain, extremely positive signals from our friends in the west, in particular, it is about the signing of a number of security agreements, well, the key one is the security agreement with the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, this is an extremely important signal. on the other hand , we understand that there are unpleasant signals, in particular , it came from the federal minister of switzerland, who said, well, it is very difficult to discuss the peace formula and it will be very difficult to implement it, without having certain negotiating positions with the russian federation. and here we come to the most important, most problematic dilemma, in particular it is about

how we will implement the peace formula and to what extent our friends, partners and allies will be ready to implement it, under the conditions that russia will only raise the degree of escalation. there is virtually no possibility of negotiations with putin, as only a week and a half ago he stated that his goals in the... country remain the same, which are the denazification and demilitarization of ukraine, as well as ensuring that ukraine never joins nato. when putin makes such demands and medvedev threatens in his style, they clearly indicate that are not ready for negotiations. thus, if russia continues to escalate, then of course there will be no negotiations. as i recall, the italian federal minister said that support for... ukraine remains strong, but he would like to see negotiations because

everyone wants the war to end. despite this, you can not doubt. we support ukraine and want to continue providing assistance to it. so i'm not the least bit worried about these statements. i believe that in case of aid to ukraine from the european union, and it will be either on equal to 27 countries, if viktor orbán finally gives in, or so they claim. many european leaders at the level of 26 eu countries without hungary, aid will flow, and the more russia escalates, the more aid ukraine will receive. bilateral security agreements. i have already mentioned the security agreement with the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, we understand that additional security agreements are brewing. there are certain, so to speak, general phrases and a key story, how they will be filled. things like for example, providing the necessary military assistance and so on, and so on, and so on.

we understand that, well, it will depend on how hard and how far our security agreement partners are willing to go. how far i think about the actual presence of nato troops on the territory of ukraine? however, there are some nato members that we have talked about that are not under the umbrella of nato. can send their own military forces and means to ukraine, this question comes up from time to time and there is no clear answer to what the limits are for individual western partners of ukraine, in addition to the fact that nato will not directly intervene unless some nato member states are attacked by russia. however, going back to your previous question, the more russia escalates, the more likely it is that some nato member states will intervene on the ground. i also think that the

more ukraine can succeed in keeping the black sea fleet out of the black sea, the more it will be able to prepare with the support of its western friends to destroy the land bridge between crimea and russia. i am sure that we will see even more help from the countries of the west. former president donald trump about demonstrated that he can recruit , he won in the primaries, and he won, albeit in one state, but with a crushing result, well, accordingly, european countries, nato members, are very worried , we are very worried, donald trump gives quite strange signals, so in his last interview he stated that he knows how to negotiate with putin and could help and zelenskyi and so on, and so on and so on, i'm quite ske'. evaluates the promises made by donald trump, but donald trump is, he is

the reality of political life in the united states. what can we expect in the coming months? first of all, the chances of donald trump becoming the republican nominee are very high. the next priymaries will be held on tuesday in new hampshire and he will likely win again by an impressive margin, as he just did in iowa. i guess that his main rivals, nicky haley and ron desanis, will drop out and trump will become the republican candidate. it is too early to predict whether he can defeat joe biden. but if it happens in november, he has expressed his views on the effectiveness of nato several times in the past and has suggested that the united states withdraw from the alliance, but he will not be able to do so because congress has passed a law that says the president of the united states cannot withdraw the united states from their contractual obligations to nato. the senate approves

treaties, only it has the power to annul the participation of the united states in the north atlantic treaty. but that won't happen, so the united states will stay in nato. trump aggressively talks about ending the war on his first day in office. if he is removed, this means that he will put pressure on president zelensky to conduct negotiations, even if ukraine is not ready for them, and this is a cause for concern. on the other hand, let's not forget that it was president trump, after coming to power, who did what barack obama did not dare to do, namely, provided ukraine with significant lethal aid, that is, anti-tank weapons after russia's invasion of ukraine in 2014. so after donald trump, god forbid, becomes president again, he will be limited in the radicalness of his actions. however, i note

that he will try to take very radical steps, especially regarding ukraine. nato and the domestic political system of the united states. his threats to fire tens of thousands of experienced civil servants and replace them with his political cronies appear serious. even if, given the american legislation, it is difficult to implement, he will still try implement radical changes. dear mr. ambassador brydze, finally , i would like to ask you what mistakes would be in our situation when it comes to this? about ukraine, what mistakes would be the worst, the most fatal , what mistakes we cannot afford to make, well, accordingly, the key story is also russia's desire to make aggression against ukraine the longest, not only the largest war on the european continent after the second world war , but also

the longest, so we see that russia wants to stretch in time and add additional ones northern resources. in my opinion, it is important that ukrainian society does not lose the spirit of struggle that it has demonstrated until now. political differences within the country should not be used to stir up tensions arising from the war. now, more than ever, it is necessary for ukraine to remain united. i support the president. in that now is not the time to hold elections, certainly not in the midst of an existential war. in addition, i have full confidence that ukraine will win and that we will eventually provide ukraine with the support it needs. if she continues struggle, not only those incredibly brave soldiers, men and women on the battlefield, but also the entire civil society

that has come together to support ukraine, and if russia remains as demoralized. as on the battlefield, ukraine will inevitably win, but it is important that ukraine maintains internal unity, similar to the transatlantic unity with which all of us in nato must support ukraine. and the biggest threat to the victory of ukraine, in my opinion, is the question of our ability to provide the necessary assistance that is needed ukraine for victory. america: thank you very much, mr. ambassador, for this extremely important conversation on the espresso tv channel, i want to remind our viewers that matthew bryza, former adviser to the secretary of state of the united states of america, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the national security council, was working for them now usa. glory to ukraine! glory to the heroes. the time of our program has run out, stay with the espresso tv channel. my colleagues
