our following guests today: american diplomat matthew bryza and famous political scientist andriy piondkovskii. our first guest is matthew bryza, former adviser to the secretary of state for communications. of states, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the us national security council. glory to ukraine, mr. ambassador, i congratulate you. glory to heroes. the situation in the united states is extremely difficult. we understand, the bidding continues. we recently had a rather strange emissary visit us, senator lynsey graham. yes, we understand that he composed what is called v to the people with a trade offer, but in any case he did not bring an assurance from the american congress that the issue of providing us with macroeconomic assistance will be resolved, and we understand that now it is a matter of life and death for ukraine. the situation unfolds within the framework of the us governmental and legal system, where the great power of the us congress lies in its authority

to determine the distribution of funds, in particular for the executive branch of government. so when the president makes a request, whether it's the annual budget or through a specific supplemental program, like, for example, help. ukraine, congress must approve it. linzi graham has long supported aid to ukraine, its independence, and the restoration of its territorial integrity. however, as a politician, he has evolved from challenging donald trump in the primary election to becoming one of his staunchest supporters. graham admits that trump prefers not just to provide aid to ukraine, but to formalize it as a loan. trump suggested: graham admits that this loan may never be repaid. the interest rate is likely to be very low , similar to world war ii aid given under the lenlis act, much of which was never

repaid by recipient countries such as great britain, the soviet union, china and other allies. so calling the... aid a loan is such a political tactic, in the end it will still function as aid, but calling it a loan will appease a small faction of extreme republicans in the house. representatives who obstruct the vote by threatening to remove them speaker michael johnson from his position, and johnson, fearing to lose his role, prevents the vote, but it is expected that the vote will take place in the near future. when we talk about our ukrainian fossils and the visit of linseygram, who begins to talk about help from the united states, a certain feeling creeps in that maybe someone, some unknown deep state, the american state would like to solve issues related to fossils, well

, i don't know, fossils in exchange for large-scale help this is about specific environments in the united states, maybe i 'm wrong. no, this theory seems propagandistic to me. perhaps the russians are behind the fact that it is the current subject of discussion in ukraine. the united states government has no interest in providing itself with natural resources from outside the united states. the us government is trying to encourage other countries to allow american companies to extract oil, natural gas and other minerals on fair terms. in addition, it contributes to the global production of natural minerals to meet the needs of the world economy. in fact, i wish they would think as strategically as you suggest, instead there is a very narrow partisan political battle going on in washington between those who support donald trump in the house. representatives, seeking to demonstrate unwavering support to the rest of the country and, in fact,

the population of the united states, which wants ukraine to receive aid and recognizes that ukraine needs it. in other words, no matter how important ukraine is for the us in strategic terms, it is not the main one a foreign policy issue for biden now. his primary concern is israel's conflict with gaza and the associated houthi attacks. shipping in the red sea, which could significantly affect the world economy and tarnish the image of biden, who is campaigning against donald trump. however, the most pressing issue concerning the rest of the world in us politics is the border with mexico. there is currently a complex debate in which republicans accuse biden of insufficient border control, especially now during the crisis on haiti. in washington, they fear another significant wave of migrants from haiti, which will head

to the southern border. that's why it's the number one issue on biden's campaign agenda right now. ukraine is really important, but it's definitely not about some deep state conspiracy, it's just a short-sighted pre-election policy of the usa, which prevents the allocation of aid to ukraine. yes, mr. ambassador, well, in any case, we understand that conspiracy theory is very convenient. a tool for political experts and for journalists, well , in order, so to speak, to consider various additional options of the problem, but in any case, now in the dry balance we have, extremely positive signals from the president of the united states, extremely positive signals from the head of the pentagon, lloyd austin, there are a lot of extremely positive signals, but the issue is not resolved, and this could mean that maybe, i don't know, one or the other... the emissary has fulfilled his mission, and the united states has received extremely specific

threats from the kremlin. we understand that the process continues in europe, but this process still cannot solve all the necessary tasks facing our country, because russia is entering a new, additional, even more serious phase of the war. you are right, when putin threatened to use tactical nuclear weapons in ukraine, bill burns, the head of the cia, former ambassador to russia, went to moscow and explained to president putin that if russia were to take such a step, it would have serious military consequences for russian forces. for me, this meant that if putin applied tactical nuclear weapons, the united states would attack russian forces with conventional means, but i don't know if it would. this is just what reliable news sources like i agree with you that the signals coming from general austin

or president biden about aid to ukraine are positive. national security adviser jake salevan was visiting kyiv the other day, and it was at this time that secretary of state blinken headed to egypt to try to broker a ceasefire in israel's war against hamas. so the biden administration is trying to make it clear that the united states with ukraine... the us is sending its second-most important foreign policy official, the national security adviser, to kyiv, while the top us diplomat goes to cairo. as said. while in kyiv, graham is more confident than ever that a political solution will be found to help ukraine. the problem is that ukraine does not have time to wait. so, unfortunately, one of the greatest weaknesses of our american political system is that a group of ideological extremes players in one house of our parliament can

block what almost everyone else wants. certainly, the majority of american citizens approve of aid to ukraine. and, as far as i understand, most members of congress also give the green light to help ukraine. unfortunately, we have to live with this problem all the time in the united states because of the inefficient governance, because of how the rules of our democratic system are set up. but i think we're getting closer to the point where aid will be appropriated by congress and we'll see ukraine finally will get more of what she needs. putin recently reappointed himself as... president, and we understand that he has to crown himself with, i don't know, the cap of ivan the terrible until he is completely happy. on the other hand, we understand that in the current situation , one or another so-called negotiating moment is brewing. this is how we understand that now, in this negotiating moment, if it really will be, russia feels much stronger than it did a year ago. on the other hand, certain processes are ongoing and we have

two tracks. one track is called geneva, so they are trying to form in geneva. a large conference, which would be devoted to the so-called peace formula, on the other hand , we understand that the russians will not be there, but the chinese will be there as observers. in the last couple of months, lihui, the special representative of china, has traveled all over the european union, meeting with all possible representatives of various authorities, and i would like to analyze with you what this so-called geneva format and the second track, which rather in. .. what beijing will shape together with moscow. i do not know, when the geneva peace conference will take place, but i see the swiss government's agreement to hold it as a positive sign, especially since russia will not be there. so this is good, and ultimately it will be a sign of support for ukraine. in my opinion, this is such

a brainstorming session aimed at finding ways to achieve peace in such a way as to allow ukraine to restore its... territorial integrity. it is worth noting that even the so-called peace plan of china, which is quite vague regarding ukraine, in fact, the first point included the idea of ​​restoration territorial integrity of ukraine. of course, china is forced to take such a position because of taiwan's problems. if you observe the behavior of china, after the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, then china did not behave like an alliance. russia, instead it acts more like a country that has an understanding with russia, having a common adversary, which is the west and the united states. xi jinping is essentially using vladimir putin to do the dirty work, the hard work of waging war. china is trying not to provide russia with weapons and not to violate sanctions, because it

very concerned about secondary us sanctions. these are the kind of sanctions that, if breached, could hit chinese banks hard. for example, if chinese banks no longer have access to the us dollar, the swift system, or the us financial system, xi jinping fears his own political earthquake at home. so, china's presence in geneva is not so bad in my opinion. it would be much better if china, apart from the ukrainian issue, did not share russia's desire to undermine the us west. however, i actually have high hopes for geneva conference and... that there will be no serious pressure on ukraine to abandon its legitimate demands to clear its territory of all occupying russian troops and fully restore its territorial integrity. when we talk about the parameters of what russia considers to be a certain achievement of goals, this is one point, and

the second point is the question of how our friends, namely jake sullivan, the adviser to the president, see the victory of ukraine. biden on national security issues made an extremely powerful signal a couple of days ago, that is, for him in other words, the victory of ukraine is the preservation of the ukrainian state, sovereign, democratic, economically independent, and so on and so forth. the only thing that he missed is an extremely important point, which is the return of our territories temporarily occupied by the russian federation, here we once again return to what is called strategic assistance from the outside. of the united states and our allies, not just help, so to speak, at the tactical level, which allows us to preserve at least what we have at the moment, strategic. help provides fundamentally new types of weapons in sufficient quantity to inflict an extremely painful defeat on the enemy. what

i am very critical of the biden administration is that neither ninja sullivan nor president biden have ever clearly stated that we want ukraine to win. we want victory for ukraine. they always say, we don't want ukraine to lose, but they don't say. directly: we want ukraine to win. so psychologically, in my opinion, this is too weak a position, but one of the reasons why they don't clearly define what victory means for ukraine, or even talk about it, is that, as they often say, it is up to ukraine to decide what victory will look like. you are a democracy, so this is your country, your territory and your people. therefore, it is up to ukraine to decide how the war will end and what victory will mean for it. yes, i understand that russia has resumed its military offensive, but russia's goal all along has been to survive. i mean, after it failed its first attack on kyiv in february, march 2022

year, and after the successful counteroffensive of ukraine, which pushed out russian troops from kherson in the south and from kharkiv in the north. russia has had to literally dig in, dig trenches and hope, maybe even pray, that the united states and our... european allies will not provide ukraine with the assistance that the brave ukrainian soldiers need to win. this is what is happening now. yes, that's it. we're not giving you the help you need, so russia can hold back and maybe even take a few steps forward. but, as i have already said, i am more and more confident that ukraine will receive this aid, and it is important that ukraine uses it as wisely as possible. i want to frankly share with you what i hear. from the american military, who are ardent supporters of ukraine. they say that in the past, ukraine trained very inefficiently by firing too many rounds

and shells during exercises, and that this aid should have been used more sparingly. in addition, there were fears that part of the received money was used for other purposes, for example, for purchases expensive cars to ukrainian officials who had access to finance. but these numbers are small. ukraine... maybe if we give it 60 billion dollars of aid and 40 billion dollars that the european union promised to ukraine. to me, victory means that ukraine will push all russian troops out of its territory and fully restore its territorial integrity, but it's easy for me to say that from the comfort of my home in istanbul. the leadership and the people of ukraine have to weigh much more difficult compromises, life and destruction against the territory. you mentioned istanbul, and actually i would like you to analyze the situation with president

erdogan and his potential opportunities, so we understand that president erdogan has now managed to negotiate an unprecedented, de facto agreement on certain possible american sanctions mechanisms in relation to turkey, with the agreement of by the turkish authorities, that is , we understand that the president... dogan is a powerful player, but how powerful will he be, and if we talk and return to the so-called geneva format or the istanbul format in the combination with geneva could yield one or another fruit, or do you have the feeling that putin is ready, despite all diplomatic attempts, to go for further escalation with further entry into the so-called even bigger war. i think president erdogan has proven to be a very effective negotiator. he managed to conclude the so-called green agreement with ukraine with the participation of moscow and kyiv. he wants to continue playing this role. he seeks to mediate and sees

turkey's foreign policy as aimed at stabilizing the regions and bringing peace, prosperity and justice this is his self-esteem and the goal of turkey. a lot of people don't agree with that, but i think that's his first priority. therefore, i believe that he will come to geneva. willing to help make a deal if possible. regarding the war in the middle east, erdogan and his foreign ministers are also actively working behind the scenes, trying to strike some sort of deal. although erdogan is highly critical of netanyahu, behind the scenes turkey is trying to facilitate a deal to free more hostages and then be ready to intervene if there is a ceasefire, acting as a guarantor state. it. so how strong is erdogan, i don't know how strong turkey is in this situation, it's not so much a matter of brute force because erdogan is not going to

threaten anybody with military force or. economic sanctions, no, he simply proved that he is an effective mediator, and in the past both putin and zelensky said that they welcome erdogan's mediation. putin says that russia is ready to escalate the conflict in order to force ukraine to de-escalation this is russia's national, security and military doctrine, but i don't think that it can go far in the framework of escalation. the only major concern is weapons production. russia the economy is now on a war footing, it is being completely reoriented to arms production. russia produces about 200,155 mm artillery shells per month, and when the eu increases its capacity, it will produce only 50,000 per month. so russia can produce a lot of weapons, but in the long run, such costs simply bury its economy.

yes, the russian economy didn't collapse, but that's... only because so much of russia's national wealth is now invested in military production, which means that the goods being destroyed don't contribute to economic growth, so putin's long-term spending on this war will huge, and if he escalates, the costs will be even greater, he wants to stay in power for another 12 years, and i don't see how he's going to survive if he escalates this war. well, in any case, we see readiness from the side. kremlin elites continue to escalate. we see that over the next couple of years, the russian economy did not collapse, it was rebuilt. they are now, i think, at the end of the late middle ages, yes, but they are ready to smear their country with war, that is, there is no question of preserving these or other things. no, and here is the key story with this moment in mind. how

would it be right for us to do that? your vision and your advice, yes, to the leadership of our state, in order to activate certain additional mechanisms, should we now deepen, i don't know, military-economic cooperation with great britain or with the european union, in particular with france, germany and poland within the weimar triangle, or on the contrary, we should now intensify our cooperation with the possible next president of the united states , donald trump, you understand ? that now we have to develop an additional new relationship strategy and specific tactics, propose and work out, of course, the ideal formula is to cooperate with everyone. i think that ukraine needs as the deepest cooperation with all his friends, an unprecedentedly deep cooperation. i was at a conference where a german government official spoke, and he mentioned that if, say, in the fall of 2021

someone said that the european... union would invest its own funds to help ukraine buy weapons, people would think that he lost his mind but that's what 's happening now. so i believe that senator graham actually gave ukraine two pieces of advice: to produce as many weapons as possible, as quickly as possible, and to involve more ukrainian citizens in army he insisted on lowering the conscription age from 27 to 25 years. i know that it is very difficult to do this in ukraine from a flight. point of view, but it seems like a much needed step. in addition, i believe that it would be useful if ukraine emphasized more to its friends around the world that it has significantly increased its ability to produce weapons at home. as far as i understand from an article i read in the atlantic council a few days ago, ukraine is now capable of producing $18 billion worth of artillery shells and other weapons per month. however, in

the state budget in... ukraine has only nine or 8 billion dollars for the purchase of equipment and weapons that ukraine can produce independently. therefore, i believe that ukraine should ask for help not only in the form of weapons, but also in the form of financial support, which will allow you to produce more and prepare for the long-term deterrence of russia in the future. how should we work with donald trump's potential new team? so there were rumors that, for example, donald trump met with elon musk and so on and so forth. we understand that there are issues of teams that may neglect, at least in the non-public sphere , what is called the ethics of international cooperation. yes, we are starting to live in a new time, right? well, accordingly, there is no telling what might happen additionally in the united states, but donald trump is making extremely contradictory signals, but we can see that he is not losing, right?
