zima's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people. espresso in the evening. andrii piondkovskii, a famous political expert who is in washington, will now be on the air of the tv channel. glory to ukraine, andriy andriyovych. i congratulate you. glory. well, the situation we are in is extremely difficult. that is, on the one hand, we hear that the european union seems to be taking a second breath when we talk about supplies. ammunition and so on, on the other hand we understand that the united states is once again going on a break, american congressmen will be on vacation again for two weeks. yesterday at a meeting in ramstein, or the day before yesterday, there was an unprecedented statement by the us defense minister, he essentially called the american side's behavior towards ukraine shameful. he said indignantly that aid to ukraine has not yet been approved. that this is a matter

of honor and security for the united states, it shows the drama of the struggle that is taking place in the united states on this issue. indeed, for six months , a draft law on providing military aid to ukraine worth 64 billion has been thrashing around in congress. in particular, i want to tell about two visits to kyiv. on tuesday, there was a so-called friend of ukraine linzi graham, a republican senator. he is already in ten pri'. in kyiv, was always considered a friend of ukraine and said some nonsense, that he spoke with trump, that trump said there was no need to pass a law on aid to ukraine. he told the ukrainian audience that trump cares about ukraine, what he thinks about ukraine. propose a new law that ukraine will receive money only as a loan, which, i'm sorry, we don't care if it's a debt or something else, we need weapons, debt is not scary. because if

there were a weapon that is necessary for victory, after the victory humanity would be grateful ten times over will pay ukraine's debts, that's not the point, all these maneuvers of trump in order to prolong the situation, for six months the republicans lied that they were in favor of helping ukraine, but a border law was needed. when the border law was agreed, trump ordered the republicans loyal to him to block it, now there is new talk that they will give an outfit. and congress goes on vacation again for two weeks, the issue is postponed for another two months, probably the americans have already understood, biden understood the disgrace of this situation. yesterday was an unexpected visit salvana to kyiv. salvan, as we know, is not the greatest friend of ukraine. this is a person who always advocated the non-defeat of ukraine. he never spoke about the victory of ukraine. it seems that biden sent him in order to convince ukrainians that now...

the american administration is full of unity. yesterday, sullivan uttered the words victory of ukraine for the first time. he said that ukraine can defeat america, too. will fully support and also said other important words, because this is not only a question of the security of ukraine, but also a question of the security of the united states. all these are good words, but they are necessary affairs. sullivan said at the press conference that he understands that ukraine is outraged by the five-month delay of this draft law. he said, we will do everything and help will be provided. and he emphasized once again, this is a matter of our own security. it remains to be seen how this will be resolved, but it seems that for such decisive action, the bid by biden was prompted by the position of europe. macron proposes the so-called macron doctrine. this is not just a throwaway at a press conference. he develops the concept

that we have to defeat russia. he uses the word defeat for russia for the first time. he states that on the eve of the possible victory of trump, who will simply stop helping ukraine, which is an enemy of nato, europe will be defenseless. we wasted 30 years talking about the european army. and now we have only one european army, it is the army of ukraine. which fights and restrains this entire eastern horde that is ready to go to europe, and we must strengthen this european army by all means. up to the participation of their own armed forces. we understand very well, zelenskyi said about it a few days ago at a press conference that no neither france nor europe currently has ready-made infantry divisions that could take their place on the front line. but they have unparalleled

military equipment and weapons that they can provide to ukraine. the same american-made f-16 or even f-35 aircraft. long-range andrii andriyovych , i agree with you, they have something that they can supply, but drawing certain historical parallels, one can recall, for example, marshal pilsutsky, who apologized to the interned ukrainian military after , so to speak, a significant part ukraine was occupied by bolshevik interventionists, so he said: well, i'm very sorry, forgive me, that's what he said, and then there was... the story with prime minister winston churchill. at one time, cherchel agreed to the stalinist plan, which involved the occupation, partition and introduction of an occupying bolshevik administration in poland. cherchel was ashamed, so to speak, but he could not do anything. there is a feeling, so to speak,

that such things simply do not happen. because it's not just self-preservation. they realized that they were naked. europe remains completely defenseless against putin, if trump withdraws not only the protection of ukraine, but withdraws the protection of europe, they realized that they have no protection. once again, macron's thesis that the only european army, the one fighting in ukraine, needs to be strengthened with weapons is important, and his wording is very important, no red...

they say, look, no political obstacles to the supply of aircraft no, the americans removed them, and there are no economic issues, there are issues of logistics. the point is that victory ukraine can be provided with an operation in crimea, expulsion, use of the weak point of the russian military machine in crimea. even now, without fleet aviation, ukraine threw the black sea fleet out of crimea. but for success... you don't need tens, but two hundred planes. no, you cannot train ukrainian pilots for two hundred planes. it's not about one pilot. for every pilot there are five more service people, including airfields. macron's concept is to direct

the aviation of nato countries. this may solve the problem war they understand that churchill was not worried about stalin's attack on london. and he could give it to poland. of the ukrainian army, but provided with the supply of modern western weapons, this is what macron's concept is, in my opinion. andrii andriyevich, if we talk about the scenario, the putin scenario, the kremlin scenario after putin's reappointment to the post. he is now taking russia to the military, to military rails, and after that he is preparing to leave. your vision of putin's trajectory after his reappointment. i am again let's go back to the macron doctrine, in fact

, without even providing weapons, macron has already won a political victory over putin, he turned the table by saying that the french troops are already there and that he does not impose any restrictions, immediately putin reacted to this initiative, and this the best illustration of his plans in his fifth presidency. on the first day, he said, it was his first. we can strike french territory and we have more than conventional weapons. macron immediately replied: france also has nuclear weapons. and these threats putin was immediately zeroed out. look at the discussion that has unfolded now on all russian patriotic channels. this zet bydlo says indignantly, in fact, macron declared war on russia against putin. he said that we are for the defeat of russia. and our armed forces, our specialists are already taking. participation in hostilities, so why haven't we struck france yet, russian

patriots ask, well, not immediately with nuclear weapons, well, we already have an excellent conventional weapon, that's why they didn't strike, which they perfectly understand if they strike france, germany, poland and to any other country, the fifth article of nato will immediately trigger automatically, putin will be hit in response, actually with a hit on french territory, he is launching... he is putting the entire nato arsenal into action against him, he will no longer be worried about whether 40 or 60 planes will be provided by the dutch, and potentially all 600 f-16s that nato has can be used against him, and he understands that. with one of his concepts of no red lines, we do not rule out anything, macron has deprived putin of the possibility of blackmail, he has nothing to answer. blackmail, and on the other hand, andrii andreyevich, i do not have insiders from the kremlin , but lalyang deger, the language of war, is an extremely

telling fact for any analytical community, and accordingly, i follow how medvedev’s rhetoric changes, that is, two years ago he was a little calmer, and now he just threw the table off the table, you see, the bar has already fallen. regarding nuclear weapons, macron immediately nullified it, just as the americans nullified it with their warnings back in october of the 22nd year, as soon as you reach for nuclear weapons, they will simply kill you hit back, and just as well, which ones plans? so they ask, you ask the same thing as putin's people, why haven't we hit france yet? but that's why they didn't strike because france also has nuclear weapons, and as for conventional weapons, it was the first strike against france. directs against you the full force of nato's long-range missiles and aircraft, which will make your

situation very difficult. pay attention to one more very important point. the first thing putin did was activate his fifth column in paris. and on the first day, all the left parties, the main one being lepens, all said that macron pushes us to world war, that it's adventurism and all that. but, two days ago, lepensha appeared on the screen again and unexpectedly announced that macron. is right: putin is an aggressor. he broke all the laws. now it threatens europe, and therefore it must be stopped by all means. they worked well with her, they probably showed documents about her financing by the putin regime. her presidential campaign. and macron secured domestic political support. putin has one argument left for france. i am sure he will apply it. putin has many sleeper cells of islamic terrorists. of france, which he activates. did you pay attention, the last two years, when all

the russian special services were completely bogged down in ukraine, the islamic terrorist acts in france stopped, and every time they happened before, one of the participants was a chechen with a russian passport, that is, these cells were controlled by moscow. well, at one time, spain was pulled out of the war with the tool of islamic terrorism, remember? in the middle east, yes, well, this tool works, and it can work in case france, putin is preparing to use this tool inside the country, you paid attention to the hysteria of diplomats in moscow, they all said that terrorist acts are about to happen in russia. patrushev did not invent new tricks, how they came to power, blowing up houses in ryazan, and they are going to do the same now. on the eve of the elections, the fsb allegedly exposed some islamic group in kaluga, which was preparing an explosion from a synagogue in moscow. at a meeting at the fsb, putin warned that

a terrorist act was being prepared, and they have expose him. i'm sure there will be exposure. putin will use them to introduce martial law in the country, to carry out a new wave of mobilization, to severely crack down on any critics, by the way, not only opponents of the war, but also those who will ask him preschool questions, why they have not yet destroyed france, which we declared war. finally, andriy andriyovych, i wanted to ask you about the prospects of the so-called geneva swiss format, so we understand that a big summit is going to be held, where it will be discussed... the peace formula, yes, well the chinese are sending their emissaries there as observers, and the behavior of the chinese is very important, the prospect of the summit depends on one thing, on the political will of the west, the political will of europe, which macron is now demonstrating, and the revival of washington's political will, which

sullivan's visit yesterday gives us hope for. but hope must be supported by deeds, because china is watching everything carefully, you and i... discussed when after october 7 biden gave a wonderful speech that the forces of terror have declared war on the free world, putin wants to destroy ukraine, iran wants to destroy israel, but we won't allow it, and backed it up with deeds, directed two aircraft carrier groups, introduced the bill that has been thrashing in congress for six months. china understood, saw the determination and wavered. after that, xi rushed to san francisco and declared that he sees reunification with taiwan in a historical perspective. only by peaceful means and asked the americans to return american investment and american technology, without which china's economy has been collapsing in the past two years, but the hesitation that began after of this, the indecision of the biden administration for the next six months prompted china to reconsider, then china , confident that it had received a signal of us determination,

somewhat backed off its support behind the backs of iran and russia, and now, if the west continues to show weakness, china will again ... return to an aggressive policy , now it depends on the political will of the west, whether biden and his administration will be able to resist the treasonous activities of trump, which is blocking the law, how successfully and consistently macron's initiative will develop, all depends peace, the only real solution is the victory of the european joint army, the core of which is the ukrainian armed forces, over russia on the battlefield in ukraine. thank you. to andrii andriyovych for this extremely interesting conversation , i wish you good health, i want to remind our tv viewers that andrii piontkovskyi, a famous political expert, was working for them in washington. thank you, see you next time. the time of our program has run out, stay with the spresso tv channel, my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of this days take care of yourself and your loved ones.

see you on air. any prime minister after two terms in power - goes crazy - says the english proverb. putin has been in power for 23 years and is going for a new, fifth presidential term, which will end in 2030. if the russian dictator makes it to this date, then stalin will be tired of the length of his stay in power. how do you feel about the idea of ​​increasing presidential powers and the opportunity to be elected? i feel negative about it. for more than two decades in power putin's rhetoric has changed dramatically. on december 31, 1999, the first president of russia, boris yeltsin, announced his resignation and named the newly appointed prime minister as his successor. the unknown ex-head

of the fsb quickly gained popularity by unleashing the second chechen war. we will pursue terrorists everywhere, at the airport, at the airport, so you, excuse me, we will catch them in the toilet, we will soak them in the toilet, the end. this loud phrase, which russians liked so much, was voiced by putin after another russian bombing of grozny by aviation even then, some people in the west were wary, but most of the statements of the new political leader did not give cause for concern. in the elections of the 2nd year, putin talked about the partnership with the usa and the eu, the need to fight terrorism, develop democratic institutions and protect independent countries, and build a democratic state. the construction of a democratic country is far from complete, but much has already been done. we are obliged to protect achievements.

at the beginning of the 2000s, putin, at least publicly , did not yet challenge the event and voiced it significantly more modest tasks for russia, for example, in 15 years, to catch up with portugal, one of the poorest eu countries at that time, in terms of gdp per capita. it never succeeded, but the sharp rise in world oil prices enriched putin's elite and made putin himself dizzy. anti-western motifs began to sound more and more often in his speeches. the orange revolution in ukraine, the arab spring in the middle east, everywhere putin saw the hand of the usa. in february 2007 , he delivered the infamous munich speech, which marked the beginning of a new era. confrontation russia and the west. putin went to the 2012 elections with anti-western rhetoric. what i

see now and what i talked about in munich is not an alliance. sometimes it seems to me that america does not need allies, they need vassals. the point of no return was 2014. first , the occupation of crimea, then the war in donbas unleashed by russia. he has lost touch with reality, german chancellor angela merkel told us president barack obama after a conversation with putin in early march 2014. since then, anti-western and anti-ukrainian paranoia in the kremlin only intensified putin began to be openly delusional about the threat of biological weapons that the west is supposedly developing against the russians. did you know that biological material is collected throughout the country? and among different ethnic groups and people who live in different geographical points of the russian federation. here is the question: why is this done? the situation was complicated by

the covid pandemic. putin's circle of communication narrowed even more. he delved into reading historical works and himself began to scribble pseudo-historical articles about ukraine. and in the end, started a great war. more than 20 putin sold the elections to the russians for years. the idea of ​​stability, now it has been replaced by the idea of ​​a special mission of russia, which, together with its new ally china, is resisting an underhanded measure, russia is turning into north korea before our eyes, the economy has turned into military rails, political opponents are killed, dissenters are in prison, they can be imprisoned for swearing in social networks, the current goal of the dictator is to destroy ukraine. putin is a sick person. who hunts and doesn't even understand what she's doing, or doesn't control her army that shoots, just like that by civilians, by diplomats, by

leaders of other states. putin's global goal is to change the world order. on the eve of the so-called elections, he repeatedly declared his readiness to use nuclear weapons. putin is 71 years old, his fifth, and in fact sixth term in power is the beginning. his end, the question is how many more lives he will have time to take with him. the saturday political club program on espresso tv channel, khrystyna yatskiv, vitaly portnikov and two hours of selective analysis is on the air, especially since we have a lot to talk about. extremely fruitful week on events, the situation with shelling and a change in tactics. russian federation, of course, events in the russian federation, in the moscow region, the situation at the front, and in the international arena, all this

will be in the focus of our attention, we are glad to welcome the first guest, oleksiy mylnyk, military expert, co-director of foreign policy and international programs we are in touch with the security of the smart center, congratulations mr. oleksia, i congratulate you, well, let's start with the terrorist attack in the crocus center, in general , you understand what it really was and how it will turn out. russian authorities, because many rightly points out that a terrorist attack in russia is not measured by the number of victims during the terrorist attack, but by the number of victims after the terrorist attack, by how it is used by the kremlin? i think you have described the situation perfectly. for now, in principle, it is more or less clear to me what happened, the only thing now, let's say, is unclear to what extent... only russia, the kremlin, putin personally, will be able to return this justification for their next steps to intensify

repression within themselves. russia, and of course, the question that we are most concerned about is how much, er, our westerners partners, the world community in general, tends to believe, in the eyes of absolutely idiotic versions about the integrity of ukraine, therefore, let's say, the reasons are clear, the intentions are clear, the only thing is now. it is necessary to observe what will be done after that, well, well, mr. oleksiy, we understand that it is not so important what countries, other countries, will say about what happened, how russian citizens will react to all this, whether this incident can become , the catalyst of mobilization processes in the russian federation, because a lot is being said about it now,

especially after the elections, the so-called... in russia, in a normal society, it, well , at least returned as a political crisis, for the government, for the special services, it was not enough, there should have been, well, there should have been a whole, a whole series of such high-profile dismissals , but we are talking about what can happen or should happen in a normal society, if we are talking about russia, the first problem is that... we have very limited opportunities to have or receive objective information from there, i spent some time browsing their social media there are reviews, and even when a logical question is raised about this window on the border with ukraine, who was supposed to provide the window from the russian side, they immediately pounce on them, that is, even such absolutely

obvious things are great. arguments are not accepted, but less so, in my opinion, i also mustered up the strength to watch putin's address, he looked, well, to a certain extent scared and not very convinced, if this is followed now, here is the first thing that russians are most afraid of, this is another a wave of such undisguised mobilization, then i think so that... grain by grain, there really can be certain such, well, not that explosions, but manifestations of dissatisfaction. and tell me, mr. oleksiyya, how do you understand this situation, that putin did not just ignore the warnings of the western intelligence services, which were very loud, it is obvious that there were not only public warnings, it is obvious that the american and british intelligence services brought to his attention

to his russian colleagues through the closed... channels that still exist between them, a message about my possible danger, why is it still public, a few days from now terrorist attack, at the collegium of the federal security service of the russian federation, he denied the danger and said that this was just an attempt to sow panic and fear among russians, that everything is fine with us, there will be barbecues in may , the day of the yellow socialist revolution in november, what is this all about? uhu, well, yes, we also have some unpleasant own associations with kebabs, er, er, well, let's say this, again, if we, if we were talking about a normal country, about a normal state, then it could be public rhetoric, let's say, to lull vigilance there, or give a signal, a false signal to those potential that we do not

believe in it. in fact, all the fsb officers there, the police, up to the traffic police, should be put on enhanced service mode, but this is what we are saying, again , about how it should work normally, but now, because of this situation that happened, we can express hypotheses, that is, maybe he gave the team is, but if it really wasn't organized, i mean. it wasn't just that they were hired there, whether they were tajiks or someone else, but let's say they were somehow not prevented from doing it somewhere, then this explains a lot if the fsb was not involved, then now a huge internal struggle will begin over the idea, because someone allowed it, and logical questions, why it was allowed, will be raised, even if not in the public space there, then this question will still hang somewhere in the air.

that's why, i say, we...
