of airtime, two hours of your time, two hours to learn about the war and what the world is like, two hours to keep up with economic news and sports news, two hours in the company of favorite presenters, presenters who have become likeable to many, as well as distinguished guests of the studio, the events of the day in two hours, vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people, in the evening at espresso. fear of the opponent. it's something i've felt more than once, and it's okay to acknowledge the fear, learn the opponent, train your body to defeat it. it's like fighting with veel. if because of fear if you don't do regular tests, the ox can go into the breakfast stage. you may not feel the symptoms, and he will win. it's not easy, but science has studied your enemy for you. with regular antiretroviral therapy, your body will learn to keep it under control, and you will. full life without fear.

knowing about complex things is important. knowledge about the ox saves lives. our guest is matthew bryza, former adviser to the united states secretary of state, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the us national security council. glory to ukraine, dear mr. ambassador, i congratulate you. glory. well, the united states in... which surprised, unpleasantly surprised, and we understand that this can have catastrophic consequences for us, in particular, it is about the lack of agreements between the republicans and democrats on the ukrainian issue, i am not even going to take on the entire geopolitical situation and the domestic american situation, it is extremely difficult, but they have not agreed, can they agree? first of all, it is obvious that the lack of agreement goes beyond the issue of aid to ukraine. also agrees on aid

to israel and taiwan, as well as on strengthening the protection and administration of the us-mexico border, which the republicans insisted on as a condition for providing aid to ukraine from... and taiwan. thus, the entire governing structure of the us congress, which covers both houses, begins to fall apart. in addition to the above problems, there are other shortcomings of congressional leadership. president donald trump is ignoring agreements reached by senators and members of the house of representatives to express his disagreement over legislation or bills as he seeks to create obstacles to president biden in the upcoming election in november. such defiance further deepens the dysfunction of the us political and legislative systems. unfortunately, ukraine found itself trapped in this chaotic state of affairs. currently, the political and legislative systems of the united states are disjointed, and the search for solutions for their

unification remains undefined. the ukrainian issue has become a tool in the hands of donald trump's election headquarters, which he wants to use to try to destroy in a public way. the biden administration and biden himself. let's look at it differently corner i do not believe that donald trump is using ukraine as a political tool against biden. instead, one theory suggests that president trump may not want to help ukraine because he wants to support putin. however, it appears that ukraine has become an unwitting collateral victim in trump's desire to prevent biden from achieving any legislative victories in the united states congress. america, as i mentioned earlier, a law aimed at strengthening the security and administration of the us border with mexico in order to better control the flow of migrants received broad support. however , president trump intervened at the last moment, preventing

republicans from passing it because he does not want biden to be able to claim certain victories. thus, ukraine was not the center of attention of this political battle, but rather became a victim of this process. what tools do president biden have now when we talk about aid for ukraine. in fact, as he does not have such tools, when congress approves the money, it is intended for ukraine, since it is congress that controls budget expenditures. president cannot spend money for which he did not receive approval from congress, and although congress has already allocated a significant amount of funds for ukraine, after them. use biden cannot make any other decisions without the consent of congress. in such a scenario, president biden must rely on his political acumen, particularly in an election year, to convince congress, especially republicans, to allocate more funds for ukraine. however, trump

seems intent on depriving biden of any victories, both in foreign policy and in any other area. so he is most likely folds members. of the republican party to thwart any such efforts. moreover, this issue concerns not only ukraine, but also the entire united states. if president biden and congress cannot come to a common solution, the us government could remain without funding until march 1. president trump appears to be happy to accept such a scenario because it might reflect poorly on president biden, who would appear incompetent. this situation underscores the breakdown of the entire us political system, making it difficult for the president to succeed biden to implement new initiatives. i recently listened to extremely important speeches by timothy snyder, speeches by hillary clinton, they

are all aware, the representatives of the american intellectual elites are aware of all the threats and all the problems, but the impression is that there is some, maybe an unspoken message. this is not docker, i have a feeling of some kind of double accounting. well, it's true, as we 've discussed many times on this program, mr. borkowski, the vast majority of us political leaders at the national level, whether in congress or at the ministers, both current and former, are unanimous in the fact that assistance to ukraine is crucial not only for ukraine itself, but also for the national interests of the united states. they understand that ukraine's struggle against russia has a direct impact on the larger geopolitical context, particularly the nato space. failure to contain russian aggression in ukraine could lead to numerous additional challenges for all members of the north atlantic alliance. it is obvious that

ukrainians are fighting not only for themselves, but also for all of us. this understanding is widespread among experts and politicians, and in the us there is considerable support for providing more aid to ukraine. however, the main obstacle lies in one person, and that is donald trump. he is motivated by the desire to prevent the political success of joe biden before the presidential election. trump is well known. biden's priorities, in particular, the need to help ukraine, israel and reach agreements on better management of the us-mexico border, so trump wants to prevent such achievements of biden. although such figures as hillary clinton and timothy snyder cause deeply respected and admired, they lack the political power or ability to force donald trump to behave differently. not specified. it remains to be seen whether trump will follow this approach to ukraine throughout

the election campaign, or even if he is re-elected for a second term. an interview with former secretary of state and cia director michael pompeo, with whom i worked closely in recent years, indicates that trump may eventually give aid to ukraine and turn on the green light for it, because despite ukraine's requests during obama's presidency. it was trump, not obama, who allowed the sale of javelin anti-tank missile systems to ukraine. this shows that he understands the importance of supporting ukraine's defense efforts. however, trump's actions regarding ukraine are inconsistent, which indicates a lack of strategic planning. he vacillates between wanting to provide more aid to ukraine and undermining efforts to do so. such inconsistency may be caused by it. the desire to harm biden, unresolved feelings for president

putin, and the desire for positives relations with russia, therefore, trump's approach to ukraine is characterized by a lack of consistency and long-term planning. well, i also have this feeling, you know, that the world has changed so much that the old political elites can no longer react properly . do you remember, at one time there was such a beautiful film by the cohens, there is no place for old ones here, and accordingly, people, representatives of the old political era, can no longer respond to fundamentally new, cynical, terrible challenges. well, on the other hand, you mentioned now the former head of the cia, former head of the department of state mike pompeo, yes, and mike pompeo assures that trump will be firm, but the key story here is how much we can trust mike pompeo in this situation, who is a person, basically plus or minus. donald trump, right? as i mentioned, secretary of state pompeo has expressed

his belief that trump will eventually support aid to ukraine, although i have not personally met donald trump. i worked closely with secretary of state pompeo. in my experience, i can attest to pompeo's reputation. he says frankly and sincerely. relying on his own an informed perspective gained from having served in key positions in president trump's cabinet. pompeo is known for speaking his true beliefs and not just trying to please someone, even if someone may not like hearing his truth, so when pompeo expresses his belief in trump's possible support for aid to ukraine, i tend to trust his sincerity and authority in this questions however, the urgency of the situation in ukraine cannot be overestimated. ukraine needs immediate help and cannot allow it. to wait for president trump's decision to provide support. a recent article in the washington

post, one of the most influential newspapers in the us, highlights the dire circumstances facing ukrainian troops on the front lines. there is an acute shortage of soldiers and artillery shells, and battalion commanders receive minimal resources to support their units. for example, one battalion commander reported that in the last month he received only 10 artillery shells for his guns, while another said he only got five fresh soldiers for his unit, which needs 200 fighters to be operational. therefore, ukraine urgently needs additional soldiers and artillery shells, immediately. fortunately, the european union has found a way around hungarian prime minister orbán's opposition to providing more. ukraine, however, still needs significant assistance from

the united states of america. unfortunately, given the ongoing political upheaval in washington, it is unlikely that this help will come in the near future. president joseph biden reminds me in some ways of the president of the united states, woodrow wilson, who had extremely good and powerful wishes, who tried to create a new system of relations in the world, but... the american political establishment did not support him, so where was the league of nations without the united states - facto doomed, but now i have a feeling that... president joseph biden may repeat, to our great regret, the career of president woodrow wilson. on the other hand, the deputy secretary of state of the united states recently visited us, victoria nuland, she knows ukraine, she knows how to work with american institutions, and her visit coincided with rumors about the possible resignation

of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general valery. has been a friend of mine for over 30 years, and i have had the privilege of working with her both in the white house and at the state department. i well remember her presence on the maidan in the 14th year, where she actively supported the movement, distributing cookies and demonstrating solidarity. however, it is important to note that she has no influence on the decisions she will make president zelenskyi. as far as i know her character, victoria nuland would never... try to convince president zelensky to keep general zaluzhny in office, or to fire him. in general, the hard-working man is well-liked in washington, especially for his effectiveness as a commander during the successful counteroffensive on september 22. this counteroffensive led to the liberation of kherson and the expulsion of russian troops from

pidharkov. obvious differences between president zelensky and general zaluzhny are similar. refers to zaluzhnyi's frank assessment regarding the situation on the ground, in particular regarding the stalemate on the demarcation line between ukrainian and russian troops in the south of ukraine. zaluzhnyi emphasized the need for potentially unpopular measures to strengthen front-line forces and overcome resource shortages, with which president zelenskyy seems to disagree. although i cannot speak about the specific remarks of victoria nuland during her stay in kyiv. from the journalistic reports from the front line, it is becoming more and more obvious that the view of zaluzhny about the necessity more soldiers, ammunition and weapons is most likely true. after all, the dispute between zaluzhny and president zelenskyi is an internal matter of ukraine. as a national leader and supreme commander. president zelenskyy has

the authority to make decisions on specific personnel issues. it is he who should implement the next war scenario with the united states. in washington , there are different views on the current situation. first, the official position of the us government is that interference in the decision of the president zelenskyi regarding the command of general zaluzhnyi, is not within their competence. it is believed that it is the prerogative and responsibility of the ukrainian president to determine. who he trusts, especially when it comes to the situation on the battlefield. secondly, general zaluzhnyi enjoys high authority in washington, like all ukrainian military personnel, after all. over the past few years, especially since russia's first invasion of ukraine in 2014, experts in washington who monitor the course of military events in ukraine have been appalled. evolution and achievements of the ukrainian

military, general zaluzhny is credited with an important role in this transformation, and thirdly. many in washington perceive president zelensky as a hero who is considered one of the most significant and effective national leaders in the world. he commands deep respect and admiration in washington circles, so regardless of president zelensky's decision regarding his commander-in-chief, washington will likely continue to support him. however , i personally believe that general zaluzhnyi is probably right to say that ukraine needs more soldiers on the battlefield. whether it be 500,000, as tinned, or some other quantity. ukraine urgently needs replenishment of human resources at the front, as well as a significant increase in artillery ammunition. we remember from our time, about one and a half years ago, the so-called istanbul meetings took place, certain negotiations took place. now

putin goes to erdogan personally, not shoigu, not abramovich and so on. we understand that to discuss... they will be many questions, them indeed, there are a lot of them, a burning middle east, the prospect of world war iii on the shores of the red sea, but putin will push his agenda as well , especially when we talk about the russo-ukrainian war. i'm not entirely sure about the objectives of president putin's visit to turkey and his meeting with president erdogan, but one issue that i don't think will be... is their negotiations regarding a turkish hub for russian natural gas. turkey and russia, represented by erdogan and putin, respectively, are in protracted negotiations for a new enlargement agreement. of russian natural gas to turkey, with turkey seeking discounts on a significant portion of the gas and intending to transport the rest of the gas to europe

via bulgaria, serbia and hungary. despite numerous rounds of negotiations, the two sides have still not concluded this agreement. i know that president putin is interested in its conclusion. so it will probably be on the agenda. in addition, president putin may want to... add turkish to russia's position on ukraine, but how are we? discussed earlier, president erdoğan maintains a consistent and balanced policy towards russia aimed at countering russian expansion in the black sea region. avoiding unnecessary tension. turkey consistently supports the territorial integrity of ukraine, condemns the annexation of crimea and calls for an end to russia's military actions. however, despite providing ukraine with military support from drones. to the naval potential, turkey refrains from joining the sanctions against russia, encourages turkish companies to continue doing business with russia. such a balanced approach

serves turkey's national interests, and it is unlikely that president putin will be able to convince turkey to abandon it in favor of supporting russia against ukraine, as such a move would be contrary to the main interests of the turkish republic. well, in any case , myrrh. that there were various plans of meetings formally of national security advisors, the meetings took place in the near east of riyadh and further further further we understand that a certain process is ongoing, there were signals from switzerland, that is, the foreign minister of switzerland, also gave signals that it was necessary to speak, to feel, so to speak , one or another peace formula. i think that now is not the best. time for negotiations, unless ukraine is ready for them. if president zelenskyi does not come to the conclusion that there is no real way to oust russia from

crimea and donbass and does not make a choice in favor of negotiations, then it is premature to talk about any negotiations. currently, ukraine is focused on recapturing its territories, restoring territorial integrity and asserting one's sovereignty. therefore , supporting a peaceful settlement at this stage is beneficial. putin, potentially allowing russia to consolidate its territorial gains in ukraine, similar to the situation georgia found itself in in 2008, when russia left its occupation troops there and georgia was forced to withdraw its troops from its own territory. regarding putin's potential agenda, it is worth noting that turkey already acted as a mediator between ukraine and russia in march 22, facilitating. negotiations on ending the war. ukraine then proposed a cease-fire agreement, according to which russia would have to withdraw all its troops that entered

ukraine after february 24, 2022. ukraine would declare neutrality, refrain from joining nato and discuss the legal status of donbas in 15 years. although this proposal is no longer under discussion, it showed ukraine's willingness to consider diplomatic. decision. however, russia rejected this offer, as putin preferred the continuation of the conflict. therefore, taking into account the determination of ukraine defend and return its territory, external parties, including switzerland, should refrain from pressuring ukraine to cease hostilities, if ukraine is not ready for this. well, unfortunately, i have to end our conversation. thank you, mr. ambassador, for this close one. analysis, i would like to remind our viewers that matthew bryza, ex-adviser of the secretary of state of the united states, former director of european and

eurasian affairs at the us national security council, was currently working for them on espresso. our program time is up, stay with on the espresso tv channel, my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of the day. take care of yourself and your loved ones, see you on the air. 12-year-old andrii myroshnychenko and svyatoslav volchasty and 14-year-old anatoly ilyashenko. all these boys disappeared in the temporarily occupied territories of the kherson region, and no one knows where they are now. so, i really hope for your help. first of all, i am addressing the residents of the temporarily occupied territories of the kherson region. i know that. you don't currently have ukrainian tv channels broadcasting, but i hope that maybe you are watching this program on social media, so please look closely at the faces of the children. andrew.

he turned 12 last december, the boy looks his age, he is thin and has light blond hair. he was last seen in february 23 on the left bank of the kherson region in the village of velyki kopani. sviatoslav olchasny, he will turn 13 in march . he is of medium build and has blond hair. the boy disappeared in february 22nd of the year in the territory of henichesky district of kherson region which was occupied almost from the first days of the war, and this is anatoly ilyashenko, he turned 14 at the end of last year . the guy is thin, has dark hair and brown eyes, looks maybe a little older than his age. tolya was last seen in the village of baltazarivka, this is the chaplin district of the kherson region, which was also occupied almost at the beginning of the full-scale war. if suddenly someone has information about the possible

whereabouts of andrii. svyatoslava or anatoliya, or maybe you just saw these guys somewhere, let us know right away. even a small one the news can become very important. you can call the magnolia child tracing service at any time of the day by dialing the short number 11630. rates from all ukrainian mobile operators are free. if suddenly you are in the temporarily occupied territory and you do not have the opportunity to call, write to the chatbot of the children's search service. in telegram, or look for us on facebook. i have told you the stories of just three children who disappeared due to a full-scale russian invasion. in general, since the beginning of the war, we have already received several thousand appeals for assistance in searching. of course, the vast majority of children were found and now everything is fine with them. but, unfortunately, the fate of many still remains unknown. everyone can help find them. believe me, just a minute

of your time can be decisive. go to the website of the magnolia children's search service in the missing children of ukraine section. here you can view all the photos of the missing. perhaps you will recognize someone and eventually help find them. at the same time , children are also disappearing in territories controlled by ukraine. as it shows experience of the magnolia children's search service. the vast majority of them are teenagers. we talked about this topic with a psychologist and collected a lot of advice for parents who can. prevent the child from suddenly running away from home. one of them is the importance of involving children in solving family issues. involve the child in the development of the family budget, in solving some problematic issues. after all, sometimes we make some decisions, and these decisions are difficult, difficult, we ourselves are very worried and worried about it, and we only inform the child about the result, and she it is perceived as a personal insult.

well, for example, the child was expecting a new... phone, but due to some family events we don't have money for it, and instead of explaining to make a decision together with the child, how and in what we can save and when we can still save up money for that new phone, we just bring her this idea that there will be no phone, how then we are perceived, well, as an enemy who just wants to destroy the whole peaceful life of the child, and break all the dreams and such another, and if she knew the whole process, a if she participated in... the discussion, and if her voice was important, and she could say, let's save a little here, here i am ready to give up something for the sake of it, she would feel her complicity in the family budget, in planning , felt that she was important, and what could be better in life than feeling important?
