and tomorrow there will be changeable cloudiness, there will be sunny clearings, but at night it will be coldest -4 -7, during the day +3 +6°. in the central part of ukraine, the night will also be frosty, small minuses, mostly without precipitation, except that in vinnytsia there is a possibility of light rain, and maybe even wet snow, and during the day the air temperature in the center will be +4 +7°. in the southern part of ukraine, it is clear what will happen. a little warmer, but not too warm, somewhere +7 +9°, +7 +10 and in the crimea up to +12 +13. eh, in kyiv, the cloudiness will increase tomorrow in kyiv, compared to today is a wonderful sunny day, even in the kyiv region there is a possibility of small precipitation in the form of rain, in places with wet snow, which is true, i emphasize that it will be small precipitation, the air temperature at night is from 0 to 4 degrees of frost, in... during the day thermometer bars

will rise to +4-5°. such cloudy weather will last for a few more days, it will be cold, let's just say, but on friday-saturday , the air temperature is expected to rise, and in general, i would recommend planning something good in the fresh air on saturday, because in the near future, it will be the most comfortable day synoptically. this is the closest synoptic ukrainian perspective, of course, as always, see you later. on the espresso channel. good evening, we are from ukraine. greetings, this is exclusive espresso, my name is yuriy fizar. today we will talk about security, about help from the united states of america, eventually when we get it from the american congress. well, let's talk about donald. trump and i will talk about all this

with my guest today, he is an adviser to the 45th president of the united states of america, donald trump's national security adviser, john bolton. mr. ambassador, congratulations and thank you for joining me, it is a pleasure to be with you. mr. ambassador, my first question will be somewhat introductory: why is ukraine important to the united states of america, if it is important at all. i think it's very important since ... 945, the key national interest of the us is peace and stability in europe. we have come through the cold war and indeed have excellent prospects for achieving these goals, however, due to russia's desire to recreate the russian empire, and although ukraine is not a member of nato, ukraine's security is vital to the rest of the european continent, and therefore to the united states. you know that george w. bush proposed to admit ukraine to nato in april 2008. we could avoid invasions

in 2014 and 2022. okay, let's talk about the recent statement by french president emmanuel macron that we should not rule out the possibility that in at some point in history , western troops may be stationed in ukraine. administration. president joe biden has already responded, and john kirby, the council's strategic communications coordinator security of the white house, said that the only american military personnel who are currently in ukraine are those who work in the american embassy. and there will be no other american troops in ukraine. but in the last few days, there have been different opinions from various western leaders on this matter. some

say that western troops cannot be in ukraine because that would mean further escalation, but some of them, such as estonian prime minister kaja kallas, said that we should not rule out such a possibility. what is your opinion on this matter, given that you are one of the best in the world in the field of security and foreign policy, and what advice would you give to the president of the united states of america on this matter if... you were his advisor. i don't often agree with president macron, but i'm happy to say that this time i did. i must note that we are in the midst of a presidential election campaign and i think the chances of the biden administration saying they agree with macron are zero. this goes to the fundamental question of general reaction the united states and the russian invasion two years ago. obviously. that we couldn't deter

the russians from attacking, in fact i'd say we didn't even try very hard, one of the ways we could have acted in addition to a few other things we could have done was... enter more troops into ukraine, especially american troops, not to fight the russians before an invasion, but for training purposes, and let the russians worry about what an increased american or increased nato presence would mean. as i said, it was necessary doing things differently, more economic sanctions, more rapid arms shipments, but the failure to contain the russians has been mirrored during the two years of conflict in ... the constant fear of what the white house calls a wider war. this inhibits the strategic supply of weapons, which would allow ukraine to conduct the war most effectively. this is what has largely led to the current impasse in which we find ourselves. therefore, it was very unfortunate

to observe the behavior of the white house. i think this indecision, out of fear of provoking the russians, is what makes the russians who they are want absolutely free. and what do you think about the bilateral security agreements that ukraine signs with various european and world countries. do you think it is possible or even better to have such an agreement with the united states of america? this is an inadequate alternative to nato membership until we achieve what every nato member calls ours... the full restoration of ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. in accordance with nato practice, we do not accept members who are under occupation by an enemy state because it is immediately puts us all in a state of war. the first step

here should be victory in the current war, the next step - ukraine's entry into the nato alliance. today we see that the threat is that russia is multiplying transnistria. i am sure that on the initiative of moscow, ukraine asked for protection from the russians, if this leads to the fact that more russian troops enter transnistria, then this will be a very bad development. we are in a precarious situation, we need a strategy for the future, and we have it now she is not there mr. ambassador, there are some world leaders and even european leaders who still. they are cautious about helping ukraine, about providing ukraine with everything necessary to fight against the russian aggressor. is the west really afraid of an asymmetric response from putin, and that is why they are so cautious? if the russians

try to attack nato members directly in cyberspace or elsewhere, they are taking a huge risk, and they should know it. the fact is that all this concern about the possible. doubt it, even when it comes to nuclear intimidation during over the last two years, we have never seen evidence of russian nuclear deployments that would threaten ukraine or the rest of europe, so i don't think the kremlin has many reserves, i think their military failures in ukraine have put them in a lot of... trouble , and yet the deterrence effect they exerted on us, on all of us, actually hurt ukraine, unfortunately, about three weeks ago, bloomberg reported,

citing its own sources, and i will quote now: donald trump is considering pushing ukraine to negotiations about ending the war with russia if he returns to... power next year, that's the end of the quote. one of trump's advisers said that the threat of cutting military aid could push ukraine into negotiations, while increasing it would only provoke russia. can we say that trump is already on his way to his goal? attempts to pass the last tranche of aid through congress have seen a complete stalemate. and them, and yet i hope that they will find a way to overcome these difficulties. the problem with the overall budget for this financial year also remains relevant progress is now evident, and i think there is significant majority support in both chambers to pass this package.

unrelated issues such as the inability of the biden administration to pursue an effective policy on the mexican border against. illegal immigrants, but i'm worried about trump because, firstly, as president, he announced the withdrawal of the us from nato, and secondly, during the election campaign, he also promised... it's funny, but i would be worried if they tried do it and don't it worked it is clear that trump will not blame himself. it's not his fault, but i would worry that he would blame zelensky and not his friend putin. therefore , in my opinion, trump's presidency would be dangerous for both the united states and ukraine. since you've already started talking

about trump, i'll ask a question about him, what are the chances that he will win the election this fall? unfortunately, he now has a very good chance of winning. biden is considered too old to be president, he will not be the youngest until november, and the democrats they don't seem to understand this. i think the final decision will be made by a large group of american voters who don't like either of them, and the question will be in november which one they don't like more, and that means the other one will win, which is not the best way to elect a president. but i think that's the perspective that we have, and it's impossible to predict now who will be more unpopular in november, or whether the court can get in the way... it didn't sound like even

a convicted felon can be elected president. at the moment, it is not clear whether it will happen any of the four criminal cases before november. and even if the jury returns a verdict against trump, he will appeal. i think this will be significant for many americans who do not want to elect a convicted felon as president. but even that is hard to say. trump's support has soared since he was impeached four times. and he became even richer, as far as i know, after that. a few weeks ago, putin said, or rather it was a week ago, said that it would be better for russia if the new president of the united joe biden won the states of america, not donald trump. and yet... in your opinion, which us president would actually be better for putin? putin, a former kgb agent, conducted

another influence operation on american voters by saying that he supports biden. and all this in order to make some people support trump. but i have been in the same room with putin and trump more than once. i 've had several meetings with putin without trump involved, and i can tell you that in my opinion, whether it's vladimir putin or xi jinping, america's opponents are looking forward to donald trump's presidency because they think he's a winning party for them, and that's one of the reasons why i don't think trump is fit to be president. they consider him a winning party, but what is the phenomenon? i would put it this way, trump's popularity among americans, particularly among republicans. why do some of them seriously consider him even a president from god? it's a bit hard

to understand, but i think it reflects the opinion of a lot of people who are quite alienated from the system, they feel that the democrats look down on them. you remember in 2016, hillary clinton called trump supporters deplorable, and they don't think they're deplorable, they don't like the way they 're being treated... by the educated elites, and they're expressing frustration and displeasure by supporting trump, and i understand, and in fact, i sympathize with their feelings in many ways, but trump is the wrong vehicle to express those feelings. i hope that americans, i mean republican americans, will find the right remedy for themselves. i really hope so. we're working on it, we 're working on it. are there any other candidates? at this point, no, i mean, i think

it's realistic. trump will most likely be nominated by the republicans. i don't see anyone who can stop him at this point, but the convention in july is still a long way off, and we are witnessing a very strange time in american history. a lot can happen. how realistic is this threat? i understand that this threat from trump is not even for the united states america, and for the whole world. but are there any deterrents in the american legal system for the president, in case trump becomes the new head of the united states of america. the law should apply to every us citizen. trump claims immunity and has several criminal cases against him. the supreme court decided to consider this issue and make a decision. i think they will rule against him. yes, there are limits, but he sees things through

the lens of what benefits donald trump, and laws and regulations that bind most people with healthy. responsible citizens don't really care about trump. that's one of the reasons why i think his second term will wreak havoc. what is beneficial to trump? can congress limit him in any way? well, they passed a law that tries to prevent him from withdrawing the country from nato without congressional approval. i believe that this is not constitutional. president. has the constitutional authority to withdraw from treaties, even very good treaties, after all, there is no paper document in the world that can restrain someone who feels no limitations. if trump is re-elected, it will be a test of the american constitution and our institutions. i think we 'll win in the end, he won't be able to do everything

he wants, but he'll push the limits. i don't think there is any doubt about that. that is, if he... decides not to help ukraine financially, no one and nothing in the united states of america will make him change his mind. they can try to impeach him again . you remember the first impeachment related to the question of whether he tried to bribe zelensky by denying him military aid if he didn't get help in finding hillary clinton's computer server and other such things. so there could be ... an intense political fight over many of the things that trump wants to do, and it could reach the level of a constitutional crisis, which is one of the reasons why no one should expect a second trump term. and my last question for you today, mr. ambassador, what do you think are the main challenges facing the world in

2024, and is the world really ready for them. the war in ukraine remains at the forefront , the war in the middle east is another very worrying situation, i think the threat of china doing something somewhere in its indo-pacific periphery while the us and others are preoccupied with europe and the middle east also remains a very serious concern. it's a dangerous world, and i fear that a weak, self-absorbed america will only make it an even more dangerous world. thank you very much, mr. ambassador, thank you for joining me today and thank you for answering mine question. thank you for the invitation. well, it was the national security advisor to the 45th president of the united states of america, john bolton, and i talked to him about a lot of interesting things, including the united states of america's aid to ukraine, whether we're going to get it,

whether we're going to get it in the event , if donald trump becomes president, and as he said, trump has a lot of... chances, and about a lot of interesting things. well, my name is yuriy fizar, this was an exclusive on espresso. before meeting. an unusual look at the news. good health, ladies and gentlemen, that's my name mykola veresen, sharp presentation of facts and competent opinions. and in america they also say, let's make better roads. it will be better for us, a special view of the events in ukraine, there will be some katsaps on the border of kyiv and beyond, what kind of world do you dream of, mr. norman, can we imagine it? all this in an informational marathon with mykola veresny, saturday 17:10, sunday 18:15 at espresso.

a week, at least to give us something that brings us closer to real coffee, crimean coffee, by the way, the first coffee in the territory of modern ukraine appeared in the crimea, and traditions, coffee traditions, they are all crimean, and even the names, filjan. these are our native names , that is, don't think that it came from turkish, no, it's all ours, and on the engravings of the 17th, 16th, 18th centuries there is culture, how there were coffee shops in the crimea, and how it all looked, you can inquire, take a walk and make sure that i'm telling you nothing here, the truth, in short , but i'll give you a drink. thanks for the tip, i never miss it, actually yes, our program has one such goal, charitable and

real: we help with the collection of komikaze thermal imaging fpv drones at night for the 48th crimean separate assault battalion named after noman chelvidzhikhan, armed forces of ukraine, commander who is lenur slyamov, general director of the otr tv channel, by the way, lenur... the other day he received the rank of major, and i want to congratulate him on this. congratulations. rin urbei, congratulations and good luck on the battlefield, and now guys on combat so that everyone understands. and there in the same direction that brings us closer to crimea, to the sea, to ours, to everything we deserve, if we help our army, not from time to time, but constantly. so now you will see. details on the screens, this is a qr code and bank card number, the goal is uah 1.5 million, there, by the way, less than 10% is left,

let's close this collection in honor of our fighters, brave, sincere, crimeans, ukrainians who together they are liberating our homeland now yes, there is also paypal, there is, you can from abroad donate, if you're watching us from abroad, there's in... all the details you can search and contribute, i encourage you to do it, because otherwise, otherwise it doesn't work, thank you, and we also want to thank everyone who contributed to sign the petition to posthumously award the honorary title of hero of ukraine to the serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, former political prisoner gennadiy afanasyev, the required number of votes of 25,000 has been collected, this is reported on the official online representation. president of ukraine, let us remind you that gena afanasyev was an activist of public resistance to the russian occupation of crimea, in 2014 he became a political prisoner of the kremlin, spent 767

days in prison, after receiving his freedom, in 2016 , as a result of the exchange, he became one of the leaders of the movement for the release of ukrainian political prisoners, participated in international meetings , initiated public events, exhibitions, charity evenings, on public grounds, held a position. of the special representative of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine for the release of prisoners. and to everyone who wants to understand a little more about the story of gennady afanasyev, a man who had a difficult way, and there were definitely downs along the way, but he always got up. that's the name of the book he wrote: getting up after falling. meet, please. and thanks again to everyone who joined this initiative. and i remember. like when there was an exchange, he already came back for the exchange, so it’s yuri soloshenko, it seems he’s back, so we crimeans were collecting

a new camera for him to take pictures, so he could earn, he wanted , he wanted to be earning with this, well, that’s how he at least friends, my mother used to say and i remember how they collected a normal amount of such a good, good camera there, he would probably be doing it if there was no war, well, now we are. we are talking about the military situation around the temporarily occupied peninsula, well , you understand that the situation on the frontline is like a chain reaction, and when something happens related to crimea, it generally affects the situation at the front. and we are pleased to welcome vladyslav seleznyov, a military analyst and ex-spokesman of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, to join us now. sir vladyslav, congratulations, glory to ukraine. friends, congratulations and glory to you heroes. salam aleikum. with your permission, let's start. of the most striking events of this week, well, first of all, the paramilitary movement also reports that the movement of enemy equipment in the crimea continues and

similar ones are recorded. the concentration of enemy scrap metal in dzhankoya and simferopol, we hope that this information will help the defense forces to plan appropriate operations, as they were brilliantly planned and implemented again in the black sea this week, serhiy kotov, here we go, here we go another loss of the black sea fleet, a patrol ship that was supposed to patrol, in particular, the territories around kerch. the so-called bridge, it is no longer on combat duty, quite interesting, in my opinion, was the destruction, and we have more and more audiovisual materials that confirm this very thing. i would still like to listen to andriy yusuf, a representative of the main directorate of intelligence, about what serhiy kotov is and what are the specifics of the destruction of this particular ship. please. there were plans for accommodation anti-aircraft missile systems, the ship itself, and there have already

been such attempts. well, in fact, the fewer such ships, the smaller anti-missile systems will be placed on them, which means more opportunities for the ukrainian security and defense forces, serhiy kotov is also notable for the fact that he participated in the attack together with the cruiser moscow on the island snake, well, actually now joined the same cruiser moskva. mr. vladyslav, well, another loss and another minus in black. achievement , you are wrong, this is an achievement, because the bottom is very suits the black sea fleet of russia , it looks disgusting, it always spoiled the appearance of crimea for me, well, honestly, these are so unaesthetic, bad, i can’t even call them ships, some ships there, you know, i apologize for my emotions, mr. vladislav, what is happening to the black sea fleet in general as a result of another successful work, well, in fact , the ukrainian defense forces clearly demonstrate.

what is worth listening to russian military sailors from the russian black sea fleet, what is worth, is it worth running away from the territory of ukrainian land, it is necessary to leave the territorial waters of our country , because otherwise they will only have a one-way ticket, to the bottom of the black sea, and of course, it is not for nothing that our intelligence tells us that approximately 30% of the combat personnel of the russian-black sea fleet have turned into objects for observation . black in the perspective of the sea of ​​azov, this is great news, because the more losses the russian black sea fleet suffers, the calmer it will behave in the waters of the same black sea, because only a year ago the russians behaved like themselves pirates, they actually constantly tried to interfere with our grain agreement, they created threats to free shipping not only

for... ships that were heading in the direction of our party animal and many others near the black sea countries were in the risk zone, because the russians believed that their domination in the black sea equatorial region is forever, the ukrainian defense forces clearly proved this, and convinced the whole world that it does not reign forever, and the ships of the russian black fleet, the black sea fleet are burning, collapsing and sinking to the bottom of the black sea itself to its flagship until... a year rests in its paws, of course, at the bottom of the black sea, in the northwestern part of the black sea water area. by the way, it is important to note that the russians no longer dare to venture out with their ships from the torkhankut bay, which is the western part of the currently occupied crimea, because they understand the risks. well, in fact, they took all the ships, carriers, sea-based missiles of the caliber type away from

the territory. the crimea was redeployed closer to nevorossik, i believe that they will be there more whole, the government, well actually the ukrainian army has proven many times already that the russian fleet cannot exist in the black sea, it is heavier than water, well, it’s just physics, so without lyrics, just physics, it can’t exist like that, why, and i apologize, yes , yes, of course, this is a confirmed fact, just as russian planes often fall to the ground, because they are in... much heavier than the same air, and just before our conversation i saw another post from our air commander a sniff that confirms another plane crash, and it happened at a distance of more than 150 km from the combat reporting line, why such a good missile came at such a distance to destroy another russian plane, it is not known for sure, but

it is a fact nonetheless. decision of the russian martyrologist of the loss.
