as if they support, but even, not even to the candidate of nadezhdin, something he was afraid to allow before the elections, it's that simple, he kills someone like navalny, puts someone in prison, it's me in the part that everyone there supports it, what they don't mind is a different matter, but if such a demonstrative moment was, in general, it was all about war, war and only war. because he talked about war, in fact, he threatened everyone with nuclear missiles, and the french too, as if france did not have a nuclear bomb, here is the second part, it was dedicated to demography, that is, he called on all kinds to give birth to more and more soldiers for him, and this is what he sees, so these conversations about demography, they are precisely correlated with the war, everything is connected, everything is organic, nothing... new

in fact, the only thing that tucker will probably be sad, because now he is directly threatening the western countries with an attack on their territory, well, in fact, nothing new, but about nothing new, but you noticed that there everything revolved around the war, he firstly , putin called to prepare, called someone. the government, probably through its federation council, called on the preparation of a new russian elite from the participants in the war, and they say that the participants in the war will have many priorities when entering universities, and there will be many favorable conditions in their careers, and promotion, as i understand it, that this is how the kremlin tries to convince russian youth that war and participation in war is prestigious, promising, profitable, or does this temptation work? well, i think it's all about money. doesn't even think, sure,

you see, he has already even started at all with a minute of silence, yes, yes, yes, in memory of the fallen russian nazis, and what's more, i noticed that the putin minute in this case, it lasted exactly 4 seconds, not much, so they are somehow concerned about this, well, that is, how to me, it's like this, well, sure, because what interested the russians, no matter what... they were interested in the question of when the war would end and where, he was talking about the war with us, all this nonsense about demilitarization and denazification , he doesn't use it anymore, now they, you noticed, they changed the last in the last months terminology, now they call it, the interests of russia, that is, such an abstract thing, well, actually, like demilitarization, in our case it is in general. interesting, no

one thought that we would have so much ground artillery, so cool, and so on, that is, i still think that the russians wanted to hear an answer to the question of when you will finish it, and there is no answer, well, actually the conclusion , as long as vladimir putin is alive, the war will continue, we must understand this, and it is desirable for the russians to draw some conclusions, roman, what kind of know-how is this, this is a show of putin’s broadcast in cinemas, i think it’s in... or they ’ve done this before, well, you see, it’s a north korean virus, actually, who are they communicating with, and how they say, as the classic said, it has already happened, it is a cult of personality in cinemas, in newspapers, on the internet, in these panels, it will all be broadcast, among other things, there were halls where they were full, they drove public servants, everyone there. everyone is praying, the only thing is that

they don't applaud as hard as they do at kim's, and you know, you look at it on russian society, which , you know, prigozhin was killed there, once, they forgot, they killed navalny, they already forgot, well, something will happen to putin at some stage, they will also put him in the archive, and they will pretend that it is theirs.. . does not go around. roman, you said that the most important thing is that the russians wanted to hear from putin today, when the war ends. do you have any idea? there is no sociology there, we have no idea, in fact, what the russians want, because if they do want something, most of them are afraid to say it. perhaps someone is even very interested in the continuation of the war, there are individual regions, by the way, the poorest are demonstrating, well, not that economic growth, there is greater platypromo. whether it is there or at the expense of funeral

or military payments, i do not know if we have any idea how many russians generally support the war or do not? well, you see, the economy is on the grave, it is interesting in principle. but in principle it is a dead end, because loot is paid only once, and a person during his life, he is more capable and to earn and pay taxes and so on and so on, that is, this story is temporary, my opinion is that, you know, there are such ultra-nazis, such super ultras, there are not so many of them, and most of them pretend to be like that. so that this does not concern them, they are trying to somehow arrange all this for themselves there, so that they, none of them, are not taken to the war, well, that is, this is such a more or less wealthy and educated part of russian society, but you must agree that they

are fighting in full strength, on russian television, only the topic of war, well, that's it logically, when - the tsar... adolf, excuse me, vladimir, goes out and announces something to all of russia, that is, it is a ritual, and during this ritual he has to say some important things, and this did not happen here, did not happen and even he actually said the word ukraine a few words about ukraine, but even with him, even from western europe, he doesn't want to negotiate, he wants to negotiate only with the americans, and he's all over it. i didn't talk about it, but i mentioned that there are targets in the usa, where russian weapons can, can reach, and there is one more topic i want to discuss, these are elections, because in fact this appeal is taking place over there two weeks before the elections in russia, or some action will be held,

which will be called an election, an election, whether there is, do you have any idea, how much will be drawn to putin this time in the kremlin, what percentage support , the problem is that they... wanted to draw 182%, the percentage doesn't matter, well, usually in elections more than 100 are not drawn, and it doesn't matter, it's clear that there will be 80, 70, 90, well i i think 86, this is plus and minus, this is their favorite indicator, you see, it is this one his statement to the federal assembly, that's what... he has such a pre-election marathon, a message, he, he, he is not just the president, the president, he is also a presidential candidate, and it's even so strange why only one presidential candidate is in cinemas are shown, and others are not even allowed to go to the elections, power in

russia is not formed through voting, people living on the territory of russia, they are not. an object of politics, everyone knows it, and the people know it, and the russian authorities, well, such ritual things happen in them, that's why the figure unimportant, but now probably the main intrigue both for ukraine and for the world of the democratic world, no matter how much he has painted for himself there, it will obviously be a victory, the main intrigue is whether the democratic world recognizes the results of these elections, and here we asked about it's from the president of the european parliament, so let's... let's listen to her answer, it's literally a minute and we will continue. let's move on to the upcoming march elections in russia. yulia navalna called on the european union not to recognize their results. this was the case in 2020 with oleksandr bukashenko, when the european parliament did not recognize him as the president of belarus. is such a reaction to the probable

victory of vladimir putin possible, considering the death of oleksii navalny, as well as the organization of voting in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine. first, the death of alexei navalny is terrible. this gives a clear understanding that no opposition is possible in today's russia. and even the reaction we've seen since his death, the outrage and suppression by the russian authorities of anyone who expresses such outrage, is for us an indicator of the situation in which the russia. it absolutely corresponds to the fact that we would never recognize the results of the upcoming elections in russia. 2024 is the year of elections, and when we... look at the elections that are taking place in many countries of the world, numerous democratic elections, what is happening in russia and what is claimed to be happening in the occupied territories of ukraine is definitely not democratic

roman, what do you think, will europe and the entire democratic world decide not to recognize the elections in russia, and does it matter? i think that it is precisely from the second that one should start, and what is the difference actually? that is, negotiations and contacts with the russian federation, they will still continue, well, in some secret way, well, that is, contacts, they will continue, it is... it is clear, whether they admit it or not, well, now they especially do not communicate with western leaders, there are none, and macron no longer calls, and in general it seems like macron, he is more drawn to vladimir than to vladimir, and the very fact of recognition, it does not change anything, you see, this is in fact, well, such an analogy, it is like an international criminal the court issued a warrant. on the arrest of vladimir putin , vladimir putin, this also does not change anything

in fact, once again, contacts will be made with them, well, at the level, for example, as with alexander lukashenko, there, if there are any questions, they, well, the active ones come out of the situation, as they say, on earth , whoever is in power negotiates with it, and yes, with terrorists, among other things, negotiations are also conducted in order to save lives, and with putin. it will be the same, that is, it is a formality, it does not matter, for us it is certain. roman, and one more question the day before, we saw that yulia navalny spoke in the european parliament, previously she was hosted by joe biden in the oval office, don't you think that the western world already after the death of navalny, so to speak, if you can say so, decided on the leader of the russian opposition in navalny's face, and if so, what does this mean, does it mean that the event will now be bigger. contribute to the downfall of putin's regime, or is this just some formal story?

you see, we still have to decide on terms, because here in the western world in ukraine the opposition is people who have a chance to come to power in the elections, this is a position in my understanding, in the russian version, whether you like navalna and her team or not, the same applied to oleksiy himself, and they had no chance in such a situation... the key is that the approaches of these people in ukraine, well, let's say this, do not work for many, this does not mean that the west will not look for some such options, well, the so-called alternative, that there are people who can theoretically come someday there in the most beautiful russia, the future will come to power, and it will be possible to negotiate with them to fight, in my opinion, it looks like this, well, it’s just... that’s such an inflated ball, so something for something so abstract, so politics,

i don’t think it’s done, well, in our case , it seems to me, that’s why we have the so-called oppositionists have such, well, let's say so, mistrust , skepticism including, you can say, because let's say it directly, yulia navalna can come to her husband's grave... only on a ukrainian tank, maybe even an abrams, or how or ours, this is already a secondary issue, but yes, well, they will tell, to hold round tables, they are all intellectuals, reasonable people , they will talk about putin's bloody regime, they will think about the sanctions, they are not working for them against russia, i don't know here, they are not working and they need to work, or should they be removed here... this is such a question, i didn't fully understand it, that is, this public

activity in strasbourg, in washington, somewhere else, well, it will continue, but we will not be cold, not hot, and well it still seems to me that after these threats, they will still be forced give us all the weapons we need. that's how i see it, because they demonstrate in every possible way that putin does not have a foothold, and there is an example with the same oleksiy navalny, he seems very, very demonstrative. roman, thank you very much, roman tsimbalyuk, journalist and own correspondent of the unian agency in moscow, 2008-2022. we discussed vladimir putin's address to the federal assembly and what his statements mean. thank you. that's all we have for today, i urge you to subscribe to

of president joe biden and some republicans in congress, speaker mike johnson is currently not ready to submit to the house of representatives a bill on funding national security priorities, including ukraine. he is still at the press conference on thursday once emphasized: his priority is financing the us budget and issues. american it took the senate four months to pass this bill. we received their document a week and a half ago. the house is actively considering options for a way forward, but our first duty is to fund the government, and for the past three years our first duty has been to secure the border. we made it very clear when the president first came up with the supplemental national bill safety laid four components there: the border, ukraine, israel and the indo-pacific region. it was important to the white house, and we agree with that, but if we're going to fix things in this

world, we have to fix america first, we have to focus on keeping america safe, and i don't think there's an american who would disagree with that. did not agree. well, this is unacceptable, the president has not taken measures to secure the border, and we will insist on this every day. when will speaker johnson respond to calls from ukraine and its partners and be ready to consider the issue of aid to kyiv? our congress correspondent kateryna lisynova asked him personally about this. 23 european leaders are calling on you to approve aid to ukraine, do you have an answer for them? the house is looking at all the available options and we will come back to that as soon as the government gets the funding. it is most likely the end of march. according to the agreement reached by the legislators, they must approve the budget by march 22, but the house of

representatives is already considering an alternative kind. option: put aid to ukraine to a vote bypassing speaker mike johnson through a special petition. this requires 218 votes. in response to kateryna lisynova's question at the press conference , the democratic congressmen confirmed that such an option is being considered, although they insist that the best and fastest option would be if the bill was brought to a vote by the speaker. house democratic leaders , congresswoman clarke and congressman jeffrey. both indicated that all options are available, the importance of providing aid to israel and ukraine, humanitarian aid, the indo-pacific region are extremely important and the urgency of their provision is obvious. any procedural step takes time. the quickest thing we can do is for the speaker to bring this bill up, a bill that has 70 votes in the senate. failure to do so will take

time to resolve regardless. from a procedural step, but we have said that we are going to consider any procedural step in working toward a bipartisan solution. leader jeffries stated, that he believed this bill would have 300 votes if the speaker put it to a vote. we share this point of view, and if the republicans really want to be leaders and really want to support ukraine, which is fighting for its freedom, then they should do it. republican congressman. brian fitzpatrick, known for his support of ukraine, confirmed in an interview with kateryna lisenova that he is preparing his petition to bypass speaker johnson, his version has already been registered and the collection of signatures should begin at the end of next week. about the need for immediate approval of funding for aid to ukraine and the risks of delay, us defense secretary lloyd austin spoke today in congress. although the hearings in the house of representatives were devoted to minister austin's hospitalization, about

which he did not inform the president. a number of legislators did not miss the opportunity to emphasize that now it is necessary to devote time to other more urgent issues, in particular, support for ukraine. more on that, as well as a likely plan b in case congress continues to delay the bailout. let's talk with our pentagon correspondent ostap yarysh. ostape, hello. congratulations yulia. was there an understanding of the urgent need to approve additional funding for ukraine at the hearings in the house of representatives today? you know, at least in part. it felt like that to the audience, as you rightly said, these conversations were primarily about the situation when playdostin was hospitalized and did not inform anyone about it, not even the president, and most republicans, in fact, they focused their questions on this very thing, they did not spare sharp words in cloyd austin's eyelashes did not spare the critics, although there were such republicans who also focused their questions on the fact that it is necessary to approve as soon as possible aid for ukraine and not only military aid, but it is also necessary to introduce

sanctions against russia, such arguments also failed. in their turn , the majority of democrats used these hearings to once again emphasize that any delay in aid to ukraine is wrong, and it should be considered as soon as possible. they criticized, in particular, speaker mike johnson, his fellow republicans, who oppose it and asked lloyd austin , among other things, what are the risks of not approving such assistance and what are the consequences of this right now. and this is what lloydvostin answered them. we see risks on the battlefield every day, while ukrainians fight bravely to defend their sovereign territory. and let me remind everyone that with our support and assistance in the security sphere, they returned half of the territory that was captured by russia, but every day we see how the russians continue to press and achieve gradual territorial success. and

this is very worrying, without our support , the ukrainians will be at a disadvantage in terms of artillery, and they will also be at risk due to the lack of proper air defense. do they pay attention to the fact that the white house could provide ukraine with another 4 billion dollars of aid from the powers already approved by congress. what is it about and what is the pentagon's position on this? yes, yuri, let's first understand what 4 billion we are talking about, these are not physical funds. only on some account, it is permission to providing ukraine with weapons for such an amount, providing weapons from the united states' own warehouses. at the same time, julio, there is no money in the pentagon to replenish these reserves, and they say here that until congress approves this money, they do not want to go into the red and allocate weapons, relatively speaking, in debt. this is what the pentagon spokesman and other administration officials we spoke to say. yulia, we have addressed this question more than once, i

personally. who asked this question, our colleagues from other countries also told about...
