and for this it will be necessary to work a lot, now ukraine will have to work both at the bilateral level, directly with the americans, with the congress, and it will be necessary to work at the state level, that is, to go abroad and create some kind of powerful team and work in all states , well, for example, the way the lithuanians worked when they joined nato in the late 90s, they toured all 50 states with a powerful team, so we should also work in the same way, work through the diaspora, through the ukrainian diaspora, through the polish one diaspora, through the lithuanian diaspora, it's only 25 million people, well, of course, work with those institutions that are currently involved. and

with the republican team, this is primarily the heritage foundation and other institutions, clarify, explain that aid to ukraine is unequivocally in the interests of the united states of america, and it seems to me that not only democrats, but also most republicans understand exactly that the situation that if aid is not provided to ukraine, or is not provided in time, and what is it in the request of the president. biden on 61.4 billion dollars, then the situation for ukraine will be difficult, er, very difficult at the front, and from this, of course, ukraine will not win, it will lose, but europe will lose and the united states of america will lose, and then the world will really look at this whole situation, understand that the united states is losing a leader. therefore, it will be very difficult,

not easy, but if the question is asked categorically, whether we will have help or not, then i am still inclined to the fact that we will have this help, in what terms are we talking about, when we can get it, terms are more complicated, as mr. vitaly just rightly said that there is a position... of the doctor of the house of representatives, mike john johnson, of course, that this position of his was formed under the influence of ex-president trump, and uh, the metation and position is obviously to further pressure the democrats, in order to additionally receive some things related to the issue of combating global migration, well, as for that. president

trump, i think he's going to insist that the issue be left unsettled for as long as possible, if not until the election itself, but again i will repeat that the majority of republicans are in favor of giving aid, and it is in the interests of america, so in the end reason and logic must work, and we must get this aid, but tell me the date it is more difficult, it obviously will not be next week, because the offensive. .. weeks, only the senate will come out with some text of the agreement, which was or is still in the process of reaching a compromise, and then the situation in the house of representatives, tell me, mr. alexander, says that it is necessary to ask you, no serious american publication, none at all from the new york times to fox news, does not say a single word about any serious conflict there between the administration of president biden and...

the city authorities in texas, urban madmen, of which there are always enough in ukraine, and who only read the russian telegram channels, or russian tv , and they literally abound, they say that everything in america is a revolution, america is splitting, the third civil war, and what to do with people who do not understand what information hygiene is, that there is no information in telegram channels , what the information is verified news that in general this is happening between the american administration and the texas local government that needs it. feverish reaction in propaganda channels? well, there is, there is, there is a problem, there is a problem, which is that there is a different vision regarding the fight against illegal migration, the republicans and the democrats, well, it seems, what we have already talked about, what is brewing there, those parties reach some kind of compromise , but there is also the question of the southern states, which really suffer from'.

migration, well, if the numbers are correct, about which ones they say, only in december, 225 thousand entered the united states through the south. legal migrants, only in a year about 3 million, that is, this question is difficult, what to place, and these illegal migrants are mainly located in the southern states, it is very difficult to place them, and we already know that texas transports these migrants to the northern states by buses , they have already included aviation, so if there is a question, but... of course, there are people who are making a sensation out of it, who are using it, well, some kind of public propaganda policy, no, i am sure of because america is very strong, america has experienced crises more than once in the past, and it will definitely cope with this crisis, that is

, to hope that violence is the end of the world, that, or people who are not competent and do not fully understand the situation, or those who specifically play along. such statements, in order to have some specific interests of their own, and i am absolutely convinced that the propaganda of the russian federation, which has proven its power more than once in america and europe, and russian, russian the media, or rather the russian propagandists , are the ones who upload this news, what goal do they pursue, is it for their consumer, or is it... and for their consumer and for the ukrainians, in order to somehow unnerve them once more, to make to worry, because ukrainians are all expecting this help from the united states. russia's ultimate goal is to create a barrier for america and

the west, in general, europe to help us. this is the goal of russia, that despite putin's bravura tone. especially in the last there months, when he survived the crisis and when he fled from moscow from prigozhin, now he seems to have, at least outwardly, a second wind, and he wants to prove that russia is an absolutely huge potential, and this potential will never disappear, and that russia will still win, i apologize, but the situation is that russia, as in... is also now in such a position that it is somewhere on the edge of its capabilities, and eh, if the war continues further, then in russia there will be maybe even more problems than in ukraine. and tell me please, what do you think about this story about

the so-called new aid strategy for ukraine that the washington post is reporting today? well, you know, it's sad if that 's the way it's going to be, i'd like to hope, i believe that... it's a very serious publication, and usually what they write is real life, or at least some part of it, but in to this situation, i still hope that there may be a bit of journalistic some kind of addition, and i say once again that it is in the interests of the united states of america, as a world leader, as a leader of the democratic world, as a leader in general of the world, that ukraine does not... lose and ukraine wins, that if, god forbid, something happens to ukraine, it will mean that america loses this leadership, and this is absolutely not in american interests. ukrainians, no, do not follow

the elections in the united states of america very much, of course, but those who are interested in international politics, of course, worry about trump's success. and explain in general how trump, despite all his toxicity, still participates in the elections and still enjoys the sympathy of many americans? well, first of all, based on the constitution of the united states and the laws that do not set any restrictions for a candidate for the position of president, and of course, maybe in some. well, it may not be possible for sure in a number of european countries, it would be impossible, but ex-president trump is going to the elections and is quite confident, but here i would like to say that this is not yet, does not mean that he has already been elected

president of the united states states in the future, because today there are three candidates, and all of them still have the opportunity to become the next the president carolinas and the representative of the united states von. i think that the struggle will continue, and it is too early to say that there are no chances at all, in nikihel as well. therefore , we will watch, we will see how the situation will develop. and if we talk about all these lawsuits, how serious they are from the point of view of the political prospects of the former american president, but yesterday he lost the trial by a large margin, this was the main news all over the world. uh, you know, they're serious, it's going to be, it's going to be a situation, well, no, maybe not

fundamentally, but to a certain extent depending on what the us supreme court decides on the colorado court decision, banning trump from participating in the prairies in the prairies and the state of maine, where he is, so the lieutenant governor of the state, decided whether the secretary of state, say yes, the secretary of state decided not to allow trump to the republican primary, and if the supreme court decides in favor of the state of florida and the state of maine, then a slightly new situation will arise, especially if trump loses other lawsuits there, then, too, the american the voter, at least a part of it, even those who now follow ... president trump, they will draw for themselves, at least a part, will draw conclusions, and those

conclusions will not always be in favor of ex-president trump. nikki haley for ukraine, what will she be like about trump, we understand that, for example, if putin is waiting for trump's victory, then he expects that trump will not be favorable to ukraine, and we, in principle, remember his statements, which, which are president biden, we will see in principle. nikki haley, if she wins, what about ukraine expect? i think that it will be very good for ukraine. nicky hale is a very experienced and competent politician, she's been through a stage or thereabouts, like a state governor, and very importantly, she's been a us representative to the united nations. representative of the usa. this is a person who keeps the pulse, or rather, his hand on

the pulse of all events in the world, and thus he is very well versed in international politics, understands how far the struggle between the democratic world and dictatorial regimes goes today, in particular, well, in general, he understands the american interest, and in in this context, he understands that... ukraine is an american interest, and the victory of ukraine in the war against russia is one hundred percent in the interests of the united states itself as a country, as well as a world leader, and in general as a world democracy, therefore and she talks about it all the time, she really has a very competent understanding of foreign policy just perfectly. and for us, of course, it will be very good, as far as ex-president trump is concerned, here too

, if, well, no, you don't need to sprinkle your head with ashes, and here, perhaps, the situation about which mr. vitaly said a few days ago that trump, when he was president, and when champagne was drunk in moscow, when he came to power, then this, well, it's champagne. let's put it this way, it turned sour for moscow, i.e. here too, i'm not saying that he will necessarily be there 100, stand for ukraine, but i can't say that he, if ukraine as an interest for him, would cease to exist, i.e. he is a rather original, specific person, and already, if it happens that he becomes the president, it will become clear in time what kind of politics. from to expect him, in general, to go to the presidential elections and to sit in the chair of the president

of the united states of america, from which the whole world can be seen, are two different things. and in principle, what can trump want to agree on with putin, but realistically speaking, well, he has already negotiated with various dictators, such as kimchanin, it did not lead to anything, he has a lot of experience that such agreements are not enough seriously, well, i share your opinion, i recently heard your speech and i remember it. i share your opinion regarding the fact that if there is somewhere on on the third day, let's say, they won't be able to agree on some issue, but it won't work 100%, because... putin is there, well, as they say in the ukrainian forces, putin is fired up, fired up means that he will start his position, despite according to any logic, then trump can also explode and demonstrate his strength, and the strength of the united states of america against the strength of russia - you know, how can

you not compare, and even more so, if you take the entire democratic world, the advantage is somewhere around 20 to one, that is. so, well, let's live, as they say, we'll see, we'll see, it'll be later it is clear who will still enter the presidential race from the republicans, and it will most likely be trump, but there is no such guarantee that i think nikki haley also has a chance, today trump has 20, 32 delegates, and nikki haley has 17 delegates , a total of 1,000 will be needed. 225, if i'm not mistaken, delegates for that, or rather, a total of 1,220 delegates will need to be recruited to decide the republican nomination, what are the pain points, what are the problems for americans right now, what, what is the current america living now? well, on

alas, today's america is divided, very strongly, along polar lines. yes, it can be seen from these races, from the previous races, and this , this, this, this dividing line, unfortunately, it does not decrease, at least it does not decrease, i do not want to say that it increases dramatically there, but at least it does not decrease , well, what worries america lives, domestic politics has always been number one in america, and i think it remains number one today, and it's about... issues like employment, that is, employment, there wages, social packages, but not migration, illegal migration, that is, education is very important, and other issues of internal life, of course, which

will also play a role, and now in connection with the fact that russia has attacked ukraine. that there is actually a war between dictatorships and democracy, the question of foreign policy will also be important, and this also worries americans, but first of all domestic policy, of course. thank you, mr. oleksandr, oleksandr motsyk, diplomat, ambassador of ukraine to the united states in 2010, 2015 years, i want to finally tell you that i finally found a large publication in the washington post newspaper, which is related to the crisis on the border, so i can finally do everything from. dreaming already based on sources, uh, because since there were no serious sources, i didn't even want to talk about it, but it needs to be talked about to put an end to it, so every american state has its own national guard, uh, this national guard is under the orders of the governor of the state, not the president of the united states, it federal state, when at one time president george w. bush wanted to bring the national guard federal to new orleans to

prevent, and i apologize the army armed forces to prevent trouble. after povinya , which was huge there, he waited a long time for the approval of the governor of the state, when the governor of the state finally agreed, mayor no of new orleans replied to the president of the united states that she did not allow the establishment of a military unit, and they did not enter cars, which the president was able to bush, is to introduce the military there without the right with the use of weapons, without weapons at all, this is the united states, it looks like this, something unreal for ukraine, not this, because we are not a federal state, it is absolutely normal, why should we not live like this. there are no federal lands, and the states are not just a federation, they are a union of states united into one, so, although the national guard, as you understand, during the flood in novy real acted absolutely calmly and no issues arose, now the governor of the states texas, uh, requires its national guard to she's doing it so she can build stronger fences on the border with mexico, the federal government opposes it, she

went to the supreme court, the supreme court said the national guard can't do it. in the state, uh, the governor of the state does not pay attention to this, he says, you, we have problems here, but you are over there. the governor was supported by 24 state governors , the others were told that he should do it, and 26 did not support it, and all of them, that is, the american politicians of the republic say, you have a civil war, they draw maps. now next, what can the president of the united states do? he can federalize the national guard, ugh. what does it mean? he may issue orders that the... national guard of the state of texas shall obey the president of the united states. the last time it happened was in 1957, when president dwight d. dwight d. eisenhower took over. i think the national guard, i 'll even try to check it now, i think it was in the state of iowa, if i'm not mistaken, i read it here too, so what were

the circumstances, those were the circumstances, there allowed black students, it's a famous story, to go to a white school for the first time, uh, the national guard of this state wouldn't allow it, they wouldn't let them go there. to enter into the order of the governor of the state, and then the president of the united states, deutizenhower, announced the federalization of the national guard in that state, so that it could not follow the orders of the governor, and thus these students were able to go to their place of study, this is a dramatic story, about which films are made was filmed, there was no more of this, here is the next one, now it is impossible to say what it is such a serious crisis, uh, for president biden to ... take such an unprecedented step, especially as he seeks an agreement with republicans on immigration policy, but even if you imagine the most dramatic, president biden would issue such an executive order,

well, it would mean the national guard in texas will stop building these border fences, that will be the end of it, there will be no civil war, there will be no conflict, just biden as a person who, like any american president respects federalist principles, because it is unlikely to take such radical steps on the eve of the primary elections. this not only worsens his relations there, let's say with the administration of texas or with the southern states, in principle with the very idea of ​​federal rights, especially in a situation where as many as 24 states, in one way or another , support these actions of the texas governor, that's all, but for this you need to understand american federalism, if you look at american federalism through ukrainian eyes, then how is it some there, some there guard, what is this? does this mean that in the zaporizhzhia region there could be some kind of guard that could build something? no, this cannot be, so let's not make it up, let's better talk with vasyl baudlar, another experienced

ukrainian diplomat, the current ambassador of ukraine to the republic of turkey, mr. vasyl, nice to see you, good evening, good evening, mr. vasyl, let's start with the decision of the president of turkey, recep tayyip erdogan, to sign this is the decision of the great nationals. sweden to nato, as you think, this is expected the result of the whole story? absolutely expected, and both washington and ankara were preparing for this, of course negotiations were held, and of course the negotiations were not directly with sweden, they finished with sweden last year, and the entire dialogue continued between washington and ankara, and it was clear what the price of this was question, this question was related to 16. with the lifting of the restrictions that exist on turkey after the purchase of the s-400, so here

it is as if all the people who make decisions regarding the security of turkey absolutely understood that this decision would be made sooner or later, and the speculations that were swirling around can be considered simply as one of the means of pressure for this decision to be made sooner than later, now in general the press has started to say... what the hell such a decision was insisted on by the chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the parliament, and until recently the vice president of turkey, flaad oktay, who allegedly convinced erdogan to make the most of this situation and solve several key problems that turkey faced in relations with its by the western allies, and primarily it concerned the military-industrial complex and the strengthening of defense capabilities, as well as the removal of ... restrictions that were, for example, on the part of canada or on the part of the united states, on the supply of not only the f-16, but many

parts of military equipment and equipment , for example, the same cameras for byraktars or , special avionics means there, that is, we simply do not know much about it, because the western press does not write about it, here they talk about it both on the sidelines and openly. and what is being said about the fact that there was a meeting with the president of iran, and what talk about the planned meeting with putin, erdogan? well, look, here, the unity and struggle of opposites, as we were once told, that is, on the one hand, there is a very strong competition, and even opposition to a certain extent, the extent between turkey and iran in the region, because they have serious differences, as on. .. in syria there is a significant share of attacks by the so-called kurdish workers' party from the territory of iran on the territory of turkey. there are

disagreements regarding energy policy and certain problems that cannot always be resolved as ankara wants, for example, but on the other hand, turkey perfectly understands that with such a neighbor as iran it is necessary to keep in touch, it is necessary to solve problems, and one of the examples, for example, we do not see this in general, but there was also a visit of the head of the turkish intelligence or security service. er ibrahim kalin to iraq, parallel to the time when the iranian president was in ankara, and there were also talks and negotiations about counter-terrorist actions and the possibilities of strengthening energy cooperation, and kalin met separately with the shia and sunni part of iraqi society, of course, trying to strengthen the influence of turkey in this country, because in

the north it is in the region. which is controlled by this kurdish regional administration , there are turkish troops who are actually fighting, or actually a mini-war with units of the kurdish workers' party, so there are many problems, and of course the topic of gaza, the topic of israel, it was one of the publicly dominant ones, because here also there is not only a common position with the condemnation of israel's actions, but also certain differences. situations and even mutual accusations, who does more to support palestine, who does less, so there is also an attempt to interact and solve problems, but there are also issues related to differences in interpretation and the fact that each of those governments does, well, i understand correctly that precisely turkish iraqi kurdistan turkey can be said

to ignore in its contacts. no, no, on the contrary, they have very good relations with iraqi kurdistan and part of the oil comes from the territory of this, well, iraqi, i call it, the administration of the northern iraq, kurdistan - the word is almost forbidden here, that is, it is a bad tone to talk about the word kurdistan in communication with the turkish authorities or media, but in fact, just the interaction with... with his government is completely open and it is so fruitful, because, if you know, barzanii himself, he professes more such right-wing views, and the pkk, or the workers ' party of kurdistan, are leftists who also oppose this within the kursk community, they also oppose berzan, so these are two different currents, and of course, each of them forms its own politics in the region, depending.

from its own interests, of course, this administration believes it is important to trade its oil resources and have good relations with official ankara, what can erdogan and putin talk about on february 12? wow , the spectrum is such that we can, as they say, only write out the agenda, we are of course extremely sensitive to such contact, and this is completely normal, because ... those who are friends or there are trying to communicate with our enemies , are always perceived emotionally, as those who are trying to change sides there, or not to find their benefit in such communication, in fact, turkey certainly has its own interests, but ankara does not stop efforts to find opportunities, as they say, to find peace in the region, to persuade in a certain way to return to the negotiating table, first of all.

but they will also offer, most likely to us, and this topic always sounds and even according to the results of a recent telephone conversation with president zelensky, this was publicly voiced, although in fact the peculiarity of the turkish side is that they do not offer any solutions of their own, they are only ready to provide assistance in order to form a certain atmosphere, to form logistical support and the so-called facilitation, that is, to create conditions for negotiations, they understand that this is fragile. ice and propose some solutions of their own, er, knowing our rather strong position, rather stubborn position of the aggressor country, er, therefore in this case it will be more about bilateral relations, i.e. energy is on the agenda first of all, this is a matter of related to gas and oil trade, and nuclear energy in the first launch nuclear power plant.
