the saturday political club, khrystyna yatskiv and vitaly portnikov, are on the air. today we will talk about the most important events of the current week. of course , the russian-ukrainian war, the results of super tuesday in the united states and many other news related to this country, our key partner. well, let's also pay attention to visits to our country. officials from europe and not only, what is important, but also the visits of our officials to important and, in the future, also not insignificant partners. it our plan for the next hour, and we are pleased to welcome our first guest, oleksiy yezhak, an expert at the national institute for strategic studies. congratulations, mr. oleksiy, glory to ukraine. congratulations, i congratulate you. well, let 's start with what, in your opinion, is currently happening at the front, to what extent...

can we say that the armed forces of ukraine managed to stop this russian military offensive after avdiivka? in general, it can be said that the front is stabilized, and due to the fact that certain actions were nevertheless carried out on our part, in order to to go deeper and prepare other lines of defense, we are not talking about the entire front, but about several directions, and after all, the russians... do not have that many forces, and they no longer have the main tool with which they forced ukraine to leave evdiyivka, cabs, guided aerial bombs , what kind of bombs they used to drop from su-24s far behind the front line, now these su-24s are crashing, it is not clear why they were not crashing before the fall of avdiyivka, but now they are crashing, and this tool is not available, forces in russia not so much, and from the side of ukraine. certain forces exerted,

therefore, the front can be said to be more or less stabilized, if we talk about the land, well, if we talk about the air and the seas, well , still, after all, it is more likely on the side of ukraine, because planes are crashing, ships are sinking, and what is happening both in the air and at sea, affects the situation on sukhodol, if we talk about the official information from the general staff, the spokesman osuf tavria, mr. lykhovii noted that beyond... from avdiyivka, the occupier is refocusing on nova mykhailivka and everything further south. that is, actually this may indicate a major advance towards the coalfield, which is an important logistics hub. this may mean that the occupier is asking a big question about the overall capabilities of the kerch bridge, to be an important logistical chain, and given that they have no alternative.

they didn’t build on the coast of the sea of ​​azov, probably ugledar, this will be their closest goal, i can’t say what, what exactly will happen, of course, eh... of course, the russians are looking for the places most vulnerable to them, and of course, a lot about it said that the south is for them more vulnerable than other directions, and now they are already talking about it almost openly, that the crimean bridge bridge will not survive this year, so of course they will look to see how much they can do, well, unfortunately, in principle, the loss of avdiivka gives the russians... an opportunity to regroup and shift certain certain forces to other directions. of course, bugledar could be the next point. well , the question is how quickly ukraine will receive new weapons and how quickly we will be able to regroup. and tell me, in

principle, how you feel about all these attempts still collect a sufficient number of shells for ukraine? now they are already saying that the czech republic has almost finished the collection. money, so these shells will appear, how much can they change the situation at the front? they will certainly change the balance of ammunition, this is important , there is such an estimate, we need 7 00 per day, they are not all always available, it is 700 to maintain the balance, and to advance we need more, well , now it is already felt that there is such a cardinal shortage as was at the fall of avdiivka, at the loss of avdiivka, there is no such thing anymore. these ammunition in a certain way appear, it's just not clear here why so, these ammunitions, well they, everyone knows that there is a lot of ammunition in the global south, of course, these are difficult negotiations, of course, there are various espionage stories, well, here are

the ammunitions, they appear , but they appear a little late, it is not clear why, because there is actually money for ammunition. there is such a big problem in europe, they didn’t want to waste ammunition for a long time, well , they wanted to buy it for ukraine, they wanted to produce it themselves, then it became clear that they didn’t have time , they started to buy it, such an initiative of the czech republic, france agreed, although it was against it before, well, the process started, of course, together with what i said before, with the cessation of strikes, kabama strikes, this of course changes the situation. on the front, it deprives russia to a significant extent of offensive such potential, and this, but this does not mean that they will not try to advance, they need to advance, such, such an impression that there is a certain international window of opportunity, opportunities for russia to for a certain time were still advancing. and regarding the prospects of our

offensive, oleksandr pavlyuk, the commander of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine, said this week that we will try to seize the initiative on the battlefield and succeed. to certain offensive actions and maneuvers, in addition to failures, weapons, ammunition, long-range weapons such as stormshed, taurus and not only, we understand that there is also a question of human resources, can we talk about the prospects of such an offensive, if we do not have has the issue of mobilization at the legislative level been resolved yet? it seems to me that the issue here is not so much the legislative level of regulation. mobilization, in what really is there is a shortage, well, there is a human shortage, even within the framework of the legislation that exists, you can probably find something to

do it, but something does not work out, i think, in principle, to a certain extent, the balance of forces can, it is possible to do something like this the balance of power to start the offensive, but... but there are problems here, in principle, if there are enough weapons, then you can say that you can start to start the offensive again. and in principle, what do you think about the possibilities of further construction of fortification structures, what are the prospects, how much attention is needed here society, because now at the front, as you know, deputies of the verkhovna rada and from the paralyzed party, from the opposition, are inspecting, so to speak, these defenses. breeds and again assessments differ according to affiliation to political forces? we can remember such attention to such large projects, it started with the walls on the border with russia, now it continues from time to time, it seems to me that there is an element

of politics here, but, but the problem really exists, after all, well, i just i don't know how important it is, but how much it exists. how much is it perhaps because the idea of ​​strategic defense and mobile defense, such a maneuverable defense, they contradict each other, if the defense is maneuverable, then fortification. long ones are not necessary, if , well, if, well, if we are not going to advance for a whole year at all, then we need to dig in and build such and such a new line, although, well, if we, roughly speaking, if we, if we dig such global structures, this means that we are not going to attack, uh, tell me, please, mr. oleksiy, taganrog and what happened there that night, the target could be avizavod, where the a50 plane is repaired, we

certainly do not believe everything that the russians write, but there are very cautious data that some other plane of a similar plan could even have been hit. we are very much looking forward to the comments from our intelligence, if they can provide them to us. we see that it is no longer a problem to impress, it is not a problem to avoid. russian air defense, it is not a problem to penetrate into the territory of the russian federation, what can we generally say then about the trends in our military-industrial complex, or about the trends of our cooperation with partners, is it our drones, partner drones or compilations? i'm sorry, i have some problems with the sound, i heard the question that what happened in taganrog is certainly important. let me remind you, this is possibly the first such real symbolic raid for the pareblik,

because taganrog is one of the few cities where they speak perebrik, not curb, so it is of course important from all points of view and from the point of view of putin's recent visit to the south of russia and the goal and well, all this is of course symbolic. as for what these drones are, i i think, well, it may not necessarily be our drones, because the policy of our partners is such that they allow us to carry out such and such raids more and more, and on the other hand , there is a very difficult issue that concerns our involvement in the european, well in general , european money for defense does not exist in europe. single market for defense products, they are fragmented these markets, and therefore special mechanisms are created

to carry out such collective efforts for and for assistance and for joint production. ukraine should be included in these structures. it is necessary to enter at two levels, and at the level of creation of funds, pooling of funds for joint procurement and at the level of industrial cooperation, when this money... is distributed among those who create it, in general, it is necessary to remember such an important principle, which there is a fair record in the european defense industry, a fair accounting of how much a country invests, how much its industry should receive, well, all this is difficult to ensure , but this process has started, because if aid, the main resource of aid to ukraine military transfers from the united states to europe, there is no other way to enter these structures and

get european weapons, except by entering into joint financing and joint production. do we have any opportunities at all, if the emphasis is really placed on european supplies, that europe will be able to block american supplies with its weapons, how realistic is this at all? not right now, not right now. we can be saved by such initiatives as with european funds, but european funds would be enough, but they should be developed europe cannot right now as much as ukraine needs, so rather the situation is such that europe can help buy on global markets, buy back in the reverse direction what was produced before and buy what ukraine needs, and in such a perspective for several years, well ... in principle, maybe except for a few points, well, of course, except for nuclear weapons, and

the europeans have less of them there, except for satellite systems, because in europe they are not so powerful, and excluding those miracle weapons that sometimes create such things that we don't know how it is there were certain downings of russian equipment, certain raids on russian territory, that seems to be america. mr. oleksiy, please tell me, taking into account that on march 11 , the swedish flag will be raised at the nato headquarters, taking into account the information from the intelligence of the baltic states that the russian federation may be preparing a conflict, in particular related to the baltic sea. do you think it is worth looking into this information, since, well, it seems that not only we are experiencing certain difficulties in the war with the russian federation, but russia is also mired in

to ukraine's ears, does it have anything to plan and carry out an attack on... the baltic states or their neighbors? i'm sorry, maybe i didn't hear everything, it's about how real the threat is in the baltics, right now, given that the russians are in ukraine, what's in ukraine, well, i 'll answer that question, and russia will look for someone to attack, whom it can . of course, now it is difficult to believe that russia can... launch an intensive operation somewhere in the south of europe, there are too many unequal forces, but on the other hand, it seemed that russia could not to occupy, to try to occupy the territory of ukraine, because the balance of power was not like that, but this did not stop russia from doing stupid things, in principle , the fact that the lines are being built in

the baltic countries are building defense lines of fortification, this is correct, because... that because russia will try to attack where it can attack, although so far i think that the creation of their military reorganization, the creation of districts, it is more the creation of general posts than actual actions, but that does not mean that russia will not will try, that's why it's better to prepare for this war so that it does not happen, that's what i would say about it, thank you, thank you, mr. oleksiy, oleksiy izhak, expert. national institute of strategic studies, we are going to break for a few minutes, but please don't tune out. there are discounts on amexin ic pills, 10% in pharmacies plantain you and save. there are discounts on helpex anticold, 20% in

espresso and thank you for your trust. we continue the saturday political club, khrystyna yatskiv, vitaly portnikov and ihor eisenberg, a professor at new york university. congratulations, glory ukraine. glory to the heroes, i congratulate you, friends, i congratulate all viewers of express. congratulations, mr. igor. so let's begin with the message of the president of the united states to congress. how do you look at it in general, how successful was it, how important was the emphasis on the war in ukraine? i think it was very successful, joe biden. it wasn't just a message, i think joe biden meant to start a crucial part of his campaign obviously and those who wrote his speech, it was... strong, very much focused on the biggest issues, both the world and the united states, and the energy with which biden spoke, it reflected, you know, there is such a

very interesting criteria for whether the speech was successful, during this speech, joe biden broke three times the fundraising record for his election campaign simply from ordinary americans, that is, he began. speech a little after 9 p.m., so at 9 p.m., at 10 p.m., then at 11 p.m., three times in a row, it was a fundraising record, so obviously people liked the speech, the fact that he from the very beginning spoke about ukraine, and the fact that he actually compared putin to hitler at the very beginning of the speech, compared the danger that threatened the world in the times before that actually. he referred to a speech , roosevelt's speech in the spring of '41, when roosevelt addressed the congress, compared those

times to now, a very apt comparison, and as he said that roosevelt then wanted to wake up congress, so he is trying to do it now , calling for the immediate passage of a national security bill that provides for assistance to ukraine, and in general, joe biden very... very confidently spoke about the achievements of his administration, primarily in the economy, because when he became president, the country was really in a rather terrible economic situation, because there were a lot of unemployed people, and for three years into the biden administration, 15 million new jobs have been created, jobs lost during the pandemic have been recovered, and inflation has fell three times the stock market, it is breaking absolute records, there have never been such high numbers, that is, the value of the shares of the largest

american companies has never been as high as it is now, and the unemployment rate is the lowest, more than 50 years, and this is the second, second year in a row, so this is an achievement, at the same time, joe biden has talked a lot about the dangers of democracy in the united states itself, and he, which happens very rarely, maybe never before at all, he criticized trump very harshly, no calling him, indeed, he was called by my predecessor, but very harshly criticized all his approaches to politics, starting with foreign policy, because at the very beginning he said that this is not patriotic, just not un-american to say, what, what putin can do with nato countries in europe , what he wants, and so on , that is, the speech was successful, that is absolutely

certain, and i think that even those people who had doubts that up to biden's age, that, that he doesn't have the energy, they had those doubts dispel after this speech, by the way, yesterday biden of the brush state gave another speech with about the same energy as how he spoke on thursday. in the congress, we understand how important the ground on which this or that speech is delivered is also important , still it seems to me that there is a certain difference, the speech, the annual speech of the american president joseph biden this year and the year there in 2022, for example, yes? well, but less so, super tuesday, march 5, everything happened, and it becomes clear that it is unlikely that anything will change, the nominee from the democrats will be joe biden, from the republicans donald trump. at the same time, some analysts point out that it may be easier for biden to beat donald trump than any other republican candidate, what do you think? ms. khrystyna

, look, you and i can deal with such hypothetical things, of course, well, the republicans could not have another candidate, it's just that the republican party is like this now, unfortunately, because it has simply moved so far to the right that no other candidate except she has trump it couldn't be, well, unless we assume that trump ends up in prison, i even think that in that case nikki haley will not be a candidate, there is, there is rondosan, there is this vivek romaswamy, there are such trump clones, which, in that case , they're more likely to be the gop candidates, that's... unfortunately, look, in america, it's a two-party system, which means, of course, that people can have a lot more views than binary views, that is, people no, no, they are only

left-centered, you... right-centered, but that's it such a shift too far to the right of the republican party, which has been going on for 30 years , he brought it, i would say, to the right corner, there is also such a left trend in the democratic party , but it is not there, it is influential, but still, still after all, she does not have the ability, so to speak, to take over the party and dictate its terms, that is, there are people with more left-wing views, left-wing, you know. in the american sense, in europe we would say that these are such typical social democrats, but they do not have an exclusionary influence, and the republican the party, as american viewers themselves say, is simply captured by trump, that he captured it, and he did with it what he wanted to do with it, and this, by the way, he completed it by changing the leadership of the republican national committee party, putting two co-chairs there now, and one of those co-chairs is his son's wife, so that's...

so he's made the party a family business, as everyone says, because he wants the republican national committee the party paid his lawyers, since he have to pay a lot to lawyers because of all the court cases against, so it's possible that if , if nikki haley was, let's say, a candidate, then she would have, i think she would have a much better chance of defeating biden than trump has, because of course for her might vote, not independent voters with such centrist views, but she could not become the candidate of the modern republican party. and tell me, mr. igor, why in general the world perceives trump's victory as one that has already almost happened. and all even her predictions for the future, they begin with the words after trump's victory, not immediately, after, so-and-so will happen. i think that

this, this, by the way, in... the pr campaign that trump's pr people are doing, and well, i think people are kind of prone to falling for it, so propaganda, when it's propaganda says that there will be, something terrible will happen, and that means that this terrible will definitely happen, i can definitely say that there is absolutely no telling how the election in november will end, it will be in 8 months, what will happen in... in the world for these eight months, we don't know, a lot can happen, and i'd rate both candidates' chances as 50/50, but i'd pay attention to the alarm bells for trump coming from the exit polls in the states where the primaries recently, and precisely in states where independent voters could participate in the primaries, because there are states with open primaries, where not only party

voters, but independent voters. can come, say, i want to vote in the republican primaries, and they can vote. well, the exit polls are interesting because a lot of people were polled, tens, hundreds of thousands of people were polled in the exit polls, and people who had just voted, that is, who thought who they would vote for and why were polled , that is, no, it is not non-abstract, no, they were answering a non-abstract question, so it is very interesting that... among independent voters , trump's support is very small, it is somewhere from 30 to 38-40%, it is very little to win the election , because it is independent voters who determine the results elections also interestingly, 50 to 59% of those who voted for nicky gale say they will not vote for trump in november. that is, it means that a part

of the republican ... voters, just a part of the republicans will not vote for trump, so it is absolutely not obvious that he has any advantages, and in 8 months a lot can change, so to say now that trump wins, or to say that biden will win, it is completely inappropriate, well, at least for now , the united states remains a democracy where the fate of the elections will be decided by the voters, and... i don't think it's worth making predictions about who will win. mr. igor, in general , what is the tradition of the united states of visiting , elections, yes, that is, involvement in the processes in general, because at one time the disease of ukraine was that we had a low turnout at the elections, and we used what we used to do, and now in states, given that the majority of people may simply not…
