what was done in this way, in other conditions, the receiving party could perceive it as a not very polite, let's say, an unfriendly step or breach of secrecy, that's right, the main thing there is secrecy, it's not accepted, it's not accepted in a relationship, as if it's not if britain and other conditions were so friendly to us, then we could simply refuse and everything, but in this case we will call on our british friends to understand our... situation and the ambassador in kyiv, i really hope that he knew about such a decision, i really hope, well, they obviously knew leaders of britain , otherwise i can't imagine that the decision could not have known this, knew, but did the british embassy in kyiv know, well, that's another question, and as for us, to issue an official comment, to put an official comment of the ministry of foreign affairs.

that is, it is against all the rules, well, i will tell you, these rules are in the textbooks of first-year students, i myself taught international public law, protocol, there in the institute of international relations, it is clearly written there, moreover, i will tell you, if we take even test tasks for diplomats who want to take up new higher positions there, they have about 40, 45 questions on this vienna convention. well, a strange situation is developing , we ask diplomats who go to positions to answer one thing correctly, and do another, well, this is not a very good story, to break all these rules and all international norms, i would say so , to humiliate their professionalism, that's it that's all, and i'm more interested in it here, because you know, that's how we have it, we will have people change, some will enter, others will leave, history continues in the rest, the main task is

war, victory, but professionalism and compliance with the norms and respect for partners, especially for great britain, this is what i think is very important, it is necessary to stand up for it, and if you just keep silent, if it comes into practice, then we may not now, at some stage, simply receive some unfriendly action from even partners, if we act like that in the diplomatic sphere, very freely. to juggle the rules of the international, well, it may well be that the decision about the insolvent was made by those who did not study and do not know the norms of the vienna convention, it can also be in principle, it can't be, it can't be, because the spokesperson, the spokesperson of the ministry of foreign affairs, nadolenko, not nadolenko, but nikolen nikolenko, let him forgive the pro-slovene who heads the diplomatic academy, and i... i am

i think that in the last week of his work, well, in this position, i am not sure that this is the best ending, well, of course , specific people are responsible for this, there are names in the ministry of legal affairs who are responsible for this, it is not necessary to shift all the responsibility to those , who gives political orders there, and there are professional work, at the end of the day you have to have a straight back, you have to have some ability professional and... straight enough to explain above, even to the level of the president, that some things can be done differently, can be done without violating, there are other ways, i see a lot of options here, how it could be done in a different way, so i think that it is perfectly well known by everyone, moreover, i will tell you, it was not very professional diplomats perceived, very yes, let's say, as just some one-time situation , but we are talking about something completely different. i still have to go back

seems to pay attention to professional principles and defend them, if no diplomat will defend these professional principles, then our diplomatic service will sink lower. and how would you evaluate president zelenskyi's personnel policy in the diplomatic sphere, there were many political appointments and many perceive the diplomatic service as, well, as some kind of... a language pension or some kind of departure abroad as a departure from some position and they give the person there the status of an extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador, you as a diplomat, as a person who has known this field for a long time, what can you say about it, because we can name many cases in some such strange appointments, and in belarus and bulgaria , grant the ambassador was.

her background is very strange and unclear, and venediktova went as an ambassador to switzerland, so there are many questions before such appointments, as they are destructive. this system, which was built in ukraine, starting in 1991. i would say, from a legal point of view, the president, he heads the foreign policy of the country, article 106 of the constitution, he has the right to decide that is, these questions. i just told you that there is a procedure, that the minister of foreign affairs is actually responsible for such decisions, and the prime minister even contradicts it, in some cases, so, well, when for... so i believe that on the one hand here, well, there are points that we discuss with you, but it is the president who determines these priorities, how it is done, now it is no secret to anyone that

the center of making not only political decisions on foreign policy, but very specific such functional decisions has moved in general, he moved to banking, therefore, in principle... the realities may already be such as regards the approach itself, well, there has always been an approach, they talked about it, the approach has always been that there can be professional diplomats, career diplomats, there can be so-called political appointments , but the so-called, why i say, there are political appointments, when a person is engaged in foreign policy, or is related to international negotiations in various formats, in various positions, this is one story, well... there is no education that can be applied here, well and language fluency, of course, then it can be considered, but if it is exactly what you said , to be sent somewhere away from the internal politics

of ukraine, or i don't know, for some favor, well, that would be very wrong, it lowers the status, because it it's hard work, if you don't sit back, but do the job as much as possible, more so in key countries, and it's obvious that the work of diplomats, not only the ambassador, because the ambassador alone does not do everything there, there are employees of foreign diplomatic institutions, there is diplomacy, let's say that, well wide in various departments, and this is a huge job, huge, especially during the war, it's just colossal work, concentration of efforts, in general, it should be the maximum selection. but if it turns into simply after the posts of some transfers by ambassadors, well, as a rule, we are talking about ambassadors, then this will eventually, after a period of time, hit very hard on the motivation of career diplomats, who

sometimes spend 20-25 years in order to reach of such a level, on the one hand, on the other hand, they understand that it may not be necessary to engage in such and such practice. precisely diplomatic, and you may or may not know everything and the vienna convention, well, it jumped out right away , so yes, it has a bad effect, especially if the proportion of these political appointments is already off the charts, that’s true, look at the last ten appointments there, you will understand everything, and there is a second question here, which can even with such an approach, such a model, to solve unfilled positions, it is necessary to somehow close the issue with this publicized initiative. of african embassies, which ended in nothing, you remember the competition, there are all those who want to, let's go to africa, let's be ambassadors, nothing is over, it seems that a year has already passed , that is, more than 20 positions in the world have not been filled, well, there are some that should be paid more attention

now, and norway is the same, and norway is currently making a lot of efforts to help ukraine, there is the issue of the czech republic, but it seems to be closing down there now, well there are countries in asia like the philippines. malaysia, that is, there is, there is a place where it is very necessary to have ambassadors right now, well, everyone knows it, but in principle , it seems that these empty positions remain for other purposes. mr. valeriu, to finish this one already talking, let me ask you, not as a diplomat , but as a politician, and why do you think zaluzhnyi agreed to this proposal, if not a diplomat. i will tell you, ask fyodorovych zaluzhny and the president of ukraine, this is basically their question. thank you friends , i would like to remind you that we are conducting a survey during our broadcast and we are asking you about whether you approve of the appointment of a dedicated ambassador to great

britain, everything is quite simple on youtube, yes, no, or write your comment under this video, well, you can take part in our survey, which we conduct on tv, by telephone line. if you think the appointment of a deputized ambassador to the uk is entirely acceptable and you approve of it 0800 211 381 no 0800. 211 382 all calls to these numbers are free call us we want to know your opinion and most importantly don't don't forget to support this stream with your youtube likes. another event that took place after the announcement that zaluzhny would go as ambassador to great britain was the annual address to the congress of the united states of america by the president joe biden, and he began his address. on the topic of the need to support ukraine, let's listen to what the president of the united

states of america said. putin invaded ukraine, and he will not stop there. but ukraine can stop putin if we stand with it and give it the weapons it needs. and that's all. what ukraine is asking, it is not asking for our soldiers, there is not a single american soldier in ukraine, and i will resolutely make it so, but now help to ukraine is being blocked by those who want to withdraw from world leadership. sir valeria, tell me whether joseph biden was convincing in his. in the performance? well, in principle , american viewers are now

saying after the speech that precisely the fact that the first issue was ukraine and the struggle for democracy in the world, justice, freedom, and then about nato, said the us president, this gave his speech dynamism, such confidence, because there were a lot of other questions about the internal american situation, where there are different opinions. supporters of the us president's current position, but here, well, no one could, even there, being in the hall somehow even speaker johnson showed that he is against such an approach, although speeches, of course, are speeches, and although this speech, an address to the nation, is, in fact, a state of the union, the state of affairs in the state, that is, it is very widely broadcast. many see, and in this regard, this is a very good impulse now again attention to the issue of aid to ukraine, very

good, at the beginning so concentrated, i can confidently say that this is very good, so i can only approve of it, but i will say that joseph biden and used to speak very powerfully, and in principle i will hope that now this one speech, it will not change the pace of acceptance of the package there now. aid, it is the pace, i think , eventually they will come to this, but decisive steps must be taken now, i would advise you to quickly make some decisions there, at least for 200-300 million in terms of mediate needs, that is, those needs at the front, which are now needed in the coming weeks, and the shells, and for the heimers , and for everything else that has already been delivered, thank you to the united states, and to expedite everything that has already been decided, where the funds are ... already allocated and that it is at the front , and the second, after all, the time has probably passed to recognize russia

as a sponsor of terrorism, so, well, it is not only such a definition in the usa, it is not only countries that finance terrorism, a sponsor, as we perceive it, but also the countries themselves that are involved in such actions, especially now against the background of the statement of the american embassy, ​​i understood to moscow that moscow is preparing terrorist attacks in its own country, that is, a lot of manifestations. we also have, for example, the seizure of the zaporozhye nuclear power station, we almost forgot about it, somehow it all went into the shadows, that is, i think that it is necessary to turn now to talk about insisting that the us made this decision, there is a decision that the us and the administration can make unexpectedly, when there will be a package, this saga that has turned into a soap opera, it will continue, it will end there, not that package will be cut under certain... conditions, but it will be, i, i think that the chances of that have increased now after the supreme court decision, when donald trump

was actually, well, allowed, in fact, to enter this campaign , that is, they allowed the wrong word, but removed certain moments, therefore, i think that the recognition of russia as a sponsor of terrorism, a country that sponsors terrorism, will be a sign and a gesture, not recognition of the so-called russian elections and a clearer position and work in this. with other partners, it will also be useful, direct rapid military assistance there, where it is possible to allocate from existing needs, well , it was still a strong move. for me, a strong move would be after this statement: inviting ukraine to nato at the anniversary summit in washington. joseph biden would go down in history with this decision. i don't say immediately that it will lead to membership in nato, but it would be a powerful signal to the kremlin that, in principle, all decisions were made for the victory

of ukraine. that would be a signal. well, let's see how the decision will be. you already mentioned donald trump in your post. on twitter, or not on twitter, on his social network trash social, he said that biden betrayed ukraine and called him a puppet of putin and xijin ping. i will quote what trump wrote. he said that i bowed to the russian leader, he gave them everything, including ukraine. i took nord stream-2, he gave it to them. he was a puppet for putin and xi, and virtually every other leader. wrote trump, at the same time the former president of the united states of america emphasized that russia invaded ukraine only because putin does not respect biden, according to him, this would never have happened with the trump administration. well, trump probably forgets that the war has been going on for 10 years, and basically, it's very strange that he has some statements about biden and what he

didn't give there, and his flirting about xi jinping and north korea and ... until other countries, who in one way or another are now putin's allies, i would not comment on the internal situation, including statements, the following is much more important to us, there was an option that we could be like this, well outside the campaign, yes the issue of ukraine , this was not avoided, so, in principle, maybe it will be good, because donald trump actually... pushed joseph biden there, if you can say so politically, in the issue of ukraine into the campaign. now the question of aid to ukraine has become the subject of the election campaign, so it is not so bad, it will be more difficult, of course, to work in this regard, but this will already be the attention of the entire american society, and you know what this means,

it means that the voters are also paying attention to it, traditionally in america, foreign policy in general is where... 20th question , and now it is not even the issue of the middle east, not even the issue of china, which was heard later, or of south asia, but the issue of ukraine came up again in the discussion, in the debate at the highest level, this is a platform for powerful ukrainian work, that is, we can use it, well without crossing the red lines, carefully with from the point of view of domestic american politics, this is a new challenge. and i think it should be remembered that it is not up to us, let's say, to choose the president, it is the business of the american people, but i will say that, well, also, you know, just look at the statements, uh, i look at the result, i look at the result, and joseph biden is doing a lot now to help, but we want, well, for it to be

a slightly different strategy, and we are looking for such a solution together with ... allies, and donald trump still made a political decision to give ukraine lethal weapons , let's let's be honest, before that, the administration of the democrats did not make such a decision, although we showed the same thing to them and explained how it is wrong, it should not be done, it was done under donald trump, i was at those negotiations, i was present directly with the president of ukraine and the minister of foreign affairs, that is, it was this... and it was the lethal weapons, this unspoken embargo that was overcome precisely by the decision of donald trump, no matter how much he might there and didn't want it right away, so you know, let's not put some there are stamps, and for some reason everyone started to write off joseph biden there, not something to write off, well, ukrainian commentators, but already donald trump. why?

in general, i believe that the result is completely unpredictable. moreover, let's watch. to the congress, the elections on november 5 - the entire house of representatives is reshuffled, a third of the senate, and without the senate, without the approval of positions, no president can implement his foreign policy or serious matters in the field of international communication, that is, there are a lot of issues, and i assure you, that there will be a lot of changes. we will wait as a result of the elections, really, because we already had such experience in ukraine that... some comments that were not acceptable for one of the parties in the race, then we simply did not respond well, and we must remember this too, will talk about it. we are talking about emmanuel macron, because in the last month, emmanuel macron has demonstrated the ability, or let's say, the desire to be one of the leaders

of modern europe, or the leader of the european continent, and he talked a lot about the fact that russia threatens europe, he gathered the leaders of 20 european countries and talked about what is happening now. on the european continent, which is happening in ukraine, but at the same time, macron met with the leaders of french political parties, and today the french press writes that they discussed with the french president the possibility, or his words that the french military contingent could be in ukraine, what the press writes, referring to fabien roussel, is the leader of the communist party. in france says that he says that emmanuel macron has mentioned a scenario in which he can initiate an intervention, in particular advancing the front towards odessa or towards

kyiv, i.e., judging by what fabien roussel told, macron does not rule out the intervention of the french army on the territory of ukraine if the russians attack odessa and... kyiv, this is what the latest public statements mean macron, that is, well, can’t the president of france casually mention about sending a military contingent there in various speeches, in various places, that is, he clearly has some kind of position, he just hints at this position to putin, i ’ll tell you what for me it wasn't a secret, i i think... that what was clear to us is that the countries of the european union nato may face a russian provocation and even an attack

on their territory, and even though the war with ukraine continues, we, our heroic warriors, men and women, are holding back this influx , but i believe that it is very profitable, and not 3-5 years, as their intelligence there, or the ministry of defense say, much faster and... maybe even during such a positional war, such conditions can be created by the enemy of russia, so that to show the inability of nato countries and of the european union to respond to the eastern flank, therefore the sagging is certain in america, and here is the signal that we heard a long time ago, not now, but somewhere in october, another month, that there will be such a tightening, they heard in europe immediately, and immediately asked questions, then passed seriously. conversations behind closed doors, well , let's say not public ones, about how to react, and here we are already seeing the political consequences of those conversations, experts, that is, now in these

political conditions, the first has actually been accepted as a consensus that there is such a threat, it is very serious and may very well be the closest years, this is the first on the part of russia, the second is that europe's responsibility is growing, so europe must wake up. and to take specific steps in the field of defense, and the production of weapons, and aid, well in this case aid to ukraine, well, to increase our arsenals, and so on, that is, first of all , allocations, first of all, how much money for this stands out, and the third is the competition, well, the competition for the leadership of countries and political figures is so good, precisely in this area, that is why emmanuel macron took such a... step on february 26, i gathered the heads of state in paris in advance, and on march 7, the ministers of defense of these 28 countries,

plus, as i understand it, the secretary general of nato and the head of eu foreign policy, jose borel, and they, with the participation, by the way, of the ukrainian side , they want to speed up and intensify these efforts here, and emmanuel macron is doing a lot politically right now before his visit to ukraine. there are a lot of such events, so i hope that olaf scholz will not lag behind in this regard, and we do get his leadership decision to provide ukraine with taurus missiles, the bundestag accepted such a proposal, the military, as i understand it, also do not see such drastic counter -answers, so for him the question is for the chancellor of germany, and it should... not be the traditional competition there is historical and france, germany, which in principle continues somewhere, but they are together allies in the eu and in nato, but this is the competition

to... really achieve leadership in security in europe, because the russian war against ukraine - it's not only about ukraine, unfortunately, this is happening here, but it is due to an ultimatum in europe, a nato ultimatum, and the last thing, why is this happening, the euro-atlantic competition, also do not forget that france at one time, somewhere there , withdrew from some nato tools in the military plan, tried to be one of the active ones. founders of the western european union, there was such an organization that had to, well, in fact, become an alternative to nato on the european continent, it did not reach this without the usa and canada, this organization has not existed since 2011, so i think that the second stage is exactly emmanuel macron's conversation with joseph biden, i have no information

about... plans for such a visit or meeting, but i have no doubt that after in the near future, i think such a meeting, it is absolutely logical, because the chancellor no less, olaf scholz was not yet in washington, and perhaps the new transatlantic moments will be discussed there, because the ramstein format without additional packages of the us military , to be honest, it is not so bright now, because always... started with american aid, well , but there will be no alternative to it either, because without the united states, without its power and the amount of weapons, types of weapons, it will not be possible to do it either, but all these statements of the leadership are a good sign. you mentioned olaf scholz and the decision of the bundestag regarding taurus long-range missiles, but at the same time the minister of defense of the federal republic of germany, boris pistorius, says

that ... will not be decisive for the conflict in ukraine, and germany is not going to move this line, and it seems that this position of pistorius, as well as scholz, is being pushed by the russians, the intercepted conversations of the german military, who are discussing a possible strike by taurus missiles on the crimean bridge, or whether this is influenced by this story of espionage and... the story of the intercepted conversations, notes on germany's position and how much will they restrain themselves in handing us over to tavrus? it would be surprising if this story influenced germany's position, rather it influenced the dialogue between the allies to ensure the regime of secrecy information, i.e. and the possibilities for the russians , agents and others to capture this information, this is the main thing that happened after there from... this

conversation, and the second point, which is very positive, that they are there, if it is true, if this conversation is true, then some very correct, specific things are said there, of a purely technical nature. now regarding, if they say that taurus missiles can be used there in crimea, i'm sorry, so what? our ukraine complies with all export regimes. role a sovereign country has the right to receive weapons from other countries, all the more so the right to provide by the un charter, which germany is a member of the un , that is, ukraine also supports an even greater role for germany, therefore , these missiles, when they, or other weapons that become ours in ukraine, they become our property, they are not our property germany, so if there are concerns

about... regarding the provision of some kind of technical support there, it can be solved by training, training, firstly, secondly, sorry, again, there were several arguments, then something will fly around moscow, then then they said that let the americans attack will provide, the americans have provided atakams, well , i hope now they will think and make another package where there will be longer-range atakams, then just what questions do you have, are you afraid of russia? fear, well, they will come to you, if you continue to pull, then it will be rockets, daggers, that's all, no, not the nuclear weapons that are frightening there, the mosquitoes are frightening, no, but these are all the drones flying towards you and rockets are flying now that are hitting sumy, kharkov, odesa, zaporizhzhia, kherson, that is, you want to avoid this, you will not avoid it, you have a unique opportunity to concentrate efforts now.
