an espresso exclusive. today with mine as a debater, i will talk about urgent ukrainian-american relations. what to expect from washington? i mean the aid that is currently stuck in the house of representatives and more. so, today the ambassador of the united states of america to ukraine, mrs. bridget brink. madam ambassador, i welcome you and thank you for joining me today. nice to be with you. so, you came to ukraine at the end of may 2022, how was the situation in our country then different from the current one. the current situation is radically different. when i came to ukraine in in may 2022, the streets were practically empty and there were roadblocks everywhere. when i was driving then, i saw a lot of destruction. now, despite two years brutally.

russia's war against ukraine, i see incredible progress. 50% of the occupied territory was recaptured by the brave defenders of ukraine. ukraine was able to export food through the black sea ports, sending more than 1,000 ships, that is, more than 33 million metric tons of grain and other cargo. and during two very harsh, but incredible winters, ukrainians were able to save energy and electricity for the whole country. these are really great achievements, and despite the military efforts of russia, we see that the economy is not only surviving, it is growing, we are talking about 5% in 2023 and projected growth in 2024. obviously, this is a difficult moment and a difficult situation for ukraine, but we '.

in this struggle with russia. thank you very much for that and thank you to all the american people for the help you are giving us. let's talk about this help. now we are very dependent on external funding, and on sorry, the bill from the white house, which provides for ukraine. about $60 billion is stuck in the house of representatives, but we do know that house speaker mike johnson is going to put that relief package up for a vote after representatives return from the easter break around april 9. what do you personally think about it, will they vote for it, and if so, will it have the innovations that speaker johnson is talking about. i am confident that

the us congress will support the additional bill regarding ukraine. of course, it is up to congress to decide when that will happen. many of its representatives visited ukraine, including senator schumer. he was here in lviv with a delegation just a few weeks ago. such visits further reflect the support of the american people. we know very well what is currently at kona. ukraine in its struggle for its existence. what about innovations? as

for innovations, it will be up to congress to decide. we have prepared an argument based on the president's proposals. this is what we adhere to. like jake said sullivan, a few days ago in kyiv. thank you very much, in an interview with cnn at the beginning of march , you said that the united states of america had reached a crucial moment in support of ukraine and that people in washington should redouble their efforts to... ukraine, did they listen to you on the capital hill? i will say that not yet, but i am sure that our congress will reflect the will of the american people and the strategic interests of the united states, the essence of which is to

help ukraine. i propose to talk about russia. we spent there only a few weeks ago what the russians call a presidential election. we in ukraine call it a farce. so putin reappointed himself again. but what do people in the united states of america think about what happened? we definitely consider these elections to be undemocratic, and i have nothing more to say about it. we do not recognize any elections on the sovereign territory of ukraine. in february, french president emmanuel macron said that he does not rule out the possibility that one day western troops will be on the territory of ukraine. i understand that most western leaders are not with him

agreed, but what about the united states of america? we understand that there will be no american troops in ukraine, but can we, at least... agreements with the usa like those we have already signed with great britain and france. yes, definitely. okay, can you tell me what will be included in this deal? not yet, it's still being discussed, but it looks like we're close to that point. i cannot name specific terms, but i can say that there are active negotiations with representatives of your government about this. let's move on to the issue of corruption in ukraine. you they once said that in order for western investments to come to ukraine, we need to have an independent judicial system, free mass media and the absence of corruption. is there any progress in these directions? i will say

that your president, who represents your people and your democracy, has set an ambitious goal to integrate into the eu and nato. a strong democracy is especially important on this path. important components of which are dynamic and free media, an active civil society, strong institutions, a system of checks and balances, and an independent judiciary. it the vision of your president, who reflects the interests of your people, and we strongly support you in this. in this vein, we supported and continue. to support all the steps that have been taken to solve some of the problems that exist in ukraine, this is the fight against corruption, and raising the level of corporate governance to international standards, and reforming the justice system. all this is very important for achieving our main

goal. it is also critical for business, as we heard from special representative pena pritzker as part of president biden's initiative to ... which is critical, we hear it all the time, so it's extremely important to achieve that goal. as far as i understand, this corresponds to the aspirations of the people of ukraine. madam ambassador, and my last question for today. republican senator lynsey graham visited ukraine a few weeks ago. and he said that he changed his opinion about the expediency of holding elections, namely presidential elections in ukraine now. he claims that elections can still take place. what is the official position of the american authorities with

about this? ukraine is a sovereign, democratic country, and only it can decide such issues. thank you very much, madam ambassador, for your answers, and thank you for all the help we receive from the united states of america. it was an exclusive espresso, with my interlocutor, mrs. ambassador of the united states of america to ukraine bridget brink , they talked about the ukrainian american... mutual aid, which we have received, are receiving and will continue to receive, and much more. my name is yuriy fizar, see you soon. an unusual look at the news. good health, ladies and gentlemen, my name is mykola veresen, sharp presentation of facts and competent opinions. and in america they also say, let's have better roads , we will have even better ones. look at 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.

the weather for the coming day, as well as the distinguished guests of the studio. andriy parubiy, people's deputy of ukraine, was also the chairman of the verkhovna rada of ukraine. events of the day in two hours. vasyl zema's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people. espresso in the evening. see this week in the collaborators program. pseudo-minister. kherson oblast, how did the fake head of the ministry of culture rob museums? we tried to remove everything valuable. but which of the crimean officials became a traitor twice? we chose to be with russia. greetings, i'm olena kononenko, and this is a collaborator program about traitors who, following the call of their hearts and wallets , went to serve the rashi occupiers. in today's episode, i continue to talk about fake ministries that rashists create in temporarily occupied territories. i will glorify the ministers, their assistants, heads of departments and clerks of ukraine. collaborators themselves

must know that there will be no quiet betrayal, it will not work out to sit in the chair of a traitor-official and not get suspected. this is a fake ministry of culture of the kherson region, it was created on june 16, 2023. it is managed by oleksandr viktorovych kuzmenko, a longtime supporter of the tricolor. the ministry of culture voted. affairs in his hands in a tolstovka with the coat of arms of razhka and at the polling station, apparently this is how all the traitors looked when they came to vote for the unchangeable president of russia, maybe this is just an official scratch for everyone who is... built by the dictator's hand? i think it is an honor for kuzmenko to wear a coat of arms with a chicken on his heart, because before becoming an official traitor, he was quietly licking putin's portrait all the time and waiting. as the director of the music school tied up with the fake minister of a non-existent institution, the russian phone number also left. when it became clear that the armed forces were close, the minister gave a shout,

taking with him exhibits from ukraine museums according to the media, this is approximately 10,000 works of art. in an interview with the washed-up russian media, he modestly called it salvation. when the evacuation took place, we tried to remove everything valuable, evacuate from the city of kherson, and when we return, we will return it to kherson. when kherson was liberated, part of the illegitimate ministries were transferred by the invaders to the occupied genichesk. it is there that kuzmenko is currently reviving russian theater, filling libraries with russian classics, organizing pro-russian competitions for children and adults alike. happens before sleep kiss the portrait of the leader, before that he makes plans for the development of russian culture in the captured territories for the coming years. i think we will do a lot in five years. we will try to open all our institutions that are not yet open. oleksandr, i have an alternative plan for you for 5 years, how about spending them culturally in a ukrainian prison,

reading ukrainian classics. a year ago , the prosecutor general's office notified kuzmenko of suspicion of... born in 1965, serhiy petrovych usenko, a native of skadovsk. we carry out explanatory work, we convey our information to them not only through telegram channels of telephone conversations. but we also leave for direct communication. positive results in working with our agricultural workers, before becoming a collaborator and receiving suspicion, he tried several times to realize himself in politics. in 2020, usenko ran for the kherson regional council from volodymyr saldo's bloc, but was not elected. usenko was able to satisfy his unrealized political ambitions when the kherson

region was occupied and he sold himself for the position rashists now he is already the deputy pseudo-minister of agriculture. complex and food policy of the kherson region. now a happy usenko gives interviews, appears in propaganda stories and works for the invaders. the federal budget - 1,251 million and the regional budget 1,300. this year, we plan to master our planned budget according to the federal and regional budget. in april of last year , a suspicion appeared on the website of the prosecutor general's office. usenko in collaborative activities. during this time, the case has already been sent for consideration to the malinovsky district court of the city of odesa. sratnyk faces from 5 to 10 years of imprisonment. the so -called minister of natural resources, ecology and fisheries of the kherson region, mykola yuriyovych bystryantsev, also received his suspicion. he was born in the city of kherson at the age of 42. our president stated that the regions

returned to russia will prosper and develop. he emphasized that the borders are new. russians and ukrainians are one nation. another perfect creature of the russian propaganda machine. relatively little is known about him. according to zmi bystriantsev back in 2017 received a russian passport in crimea in 2011 and has been living on the occupied peninsula ever since. there he held the position of head of the land use control department in the fake ministry of property and land relations of the republic of crimea. when did his hometown come under russian occupation? the former kherson resident decided to return home and try to build a career under the abhorrence of the kremlin. at first, he modestly applied for the post of deputy minister of the occupation ministry of natural resources and ecology of the kherson region. a year ago we chose to be together with by russia so, they chose a bright future for us and our children. on august 7, 2023

, the occupiers reorganized the department into the ministry of natural resources, ecology and fisheries of the kherson region, and... bustryantsev himself was promoted to minister. bostryantsev already knows how to work out a new position, so he actively joined the campaign for a joint future with rashka. first, during the local elections last september, then during the presidential elections. compatriots. at last the day has come, the day when we we will be able to show our active civic position. we urge you to come to the polling stations and cast your vote for the future. that's what i wanted. bystryantsev's discovery did not go unnoticed. he was already suspected of collaborative activity in absentia. the case is currently being considered by the kherson city court of the kherson region. this lucky owner of the skurk passport. will receive his sentence soon. it was the program collaborators and i, olena kononenko. if you have information about kremlin progenitors, write to us at this e-mail address or simply on facebook,

together we will send all the traitors in pursuit of the russian ship. see you in a week on espresso. welcome to the spresso channel. today, in our war and weapons program, we will talk about how ukraine can produce more weapons in partnership with european and american companies. of course, this topic is not new. western media from time to time write that there are successes in the work of the ukrainian defense industry, and this is definitely positive, because such information definitely contributes to the improvement of our position in the world. but there is. and the reverse side of the coin is also statements from our partners that it is difficult for them to understand who exactly is in ukraine, and which ministry is responsible for cooperation and

promotion of certain projects with our partners, whether it is the ministry of defense, or the ministry of strategy and industry or the ministry of digital affairs. by the way, the american new york times recently wrote about these ukrainian labyrinths, and there, by the way, it was also recognized that the ukrainian... market, in their opinion, has significant prospects even now in war conditions and in the future, because as an example, on procurement of weapons and equipment this year ukraine directed 1.3 billion dollars, and by the way, this is 20 times more than in the 21st year. of course, the increase in our defense spending may interest our defense partners, but in my opinion, this is still not enough, because it is necessary to... look for more active mechanisms to intensify cooperation with our potential and real business partners in the defense sphere, and when we hear there, by the way, also

statements about the creation of joint ventures with partners, we see that in practice these processes do not yet catch up so quickly with these statements, therefore, can ukraine create competition, perhaps even with european and american companies, in order to speed up the development of its own defense industry. complex, we will discuss all these issues in our program war and weapons. my name is serhiy sgurets, i am the director of the information and consulting company defense express. and now the first guest joins us, this is oleksiy yezhak, an expert of the national institute of strategic studies. mr. oleksiy, i congratulate you, i am glad to see kanaluso on the air. in return, i congratulate you. we are with you and off the air repeatedly talked about the fact that the creation. own defense industry, well, this is such an urgent and urgent need to ensure our defense, and they also talked about the fact that without foreign companies

it will be extremely difficult to ensure such a significant breakthrough, the question arises whether the current ukrainian defense market is already such that it is sufficiently tempting for american or european companies that want and can. to enter our markets, how do you see it exactly in this context? well, first of all, me i would like to say that labyrinths exist not only here, in general this sphere of defense procurement, it is also considered by economists to be one of the most problematic, and this problem must be solved globally, not only, well, not only by international efforts, but each individual country will have to decide. this is a question because costs are rising in the world and never has this market been clear, especially if we talk about the european

market, fragmented absolutely, despite the single market of the european union, despite nato, but still remains fragmented, and how it is all arranged there is very difficult, and if, if everything were simple there, there was no need in the world arms trade of this phenomenon, like agents who... push through certain contracts, without them, well , no way, actually, maybe all this will go away when it's over, at the end of this war, the issues will be resolved, and everything will become clear and easy, although there will probably always be, always, where there are state interests, there will always be certain restrictions that make the market difficult, as for how attractive we are at... as attractive as our ukrainian market is, it is attractive, but i agree not only because our partners have increased

purchases. 1.4 billion, well, let's not argue, in principle, really, how much is actually bought, but there is indeed a big increase, but regardless, this is a big increase, it is not so huge that international defense production grants will come to ukraine , this is not enough, these are not the funds, but on the other hand there are additional mechanisms that... which are very attractive for our partners, the first is international the aid we receive is huge, it, it, well, 350 billion have already been allocated, what ukraine received, of course, is not all of it, not all of it is its own military weapons, military equipment, but a lot of this money is already close to the front in ukraine, and companies

that are... closer to the front where these weapons are actually used, repair, maintenance, all this, they are also interested, and finally this effect, it, it is registered, it, it is important, companies , which are now being invested in the armament of ukraine, they, their capitalization is growing rapidly, this is especially visible in europe, where in europe there has already been... two years of such economic stagnation, there is no growth, but the capitalization of companies that invest in ukraine, that supply weapons with the help of other mechanisms, but those who send physical weapons to ukraine, their capitalization increases many times, all this together, of course, creates such a driver, they are ready to come, there are already significant, significant ones, we hear these statements

about rainmetal and about.. . alliance, alliance which makes caesars and leopards, all these european alliances are ready to come, there are those that are ready to implement closer to the front, to produce ammunition, here, here, here we have to agree with the considerations that need to be made so that they understand how working in ukraine is a big, big problem, but not only our problem, but... by the way, you counted first of all european defense companies, german, french, which enter the ukrainian market with projects, and what about american companies, right? slow down the americans these processes, are they not lagging behind the europeans, or on the contrary, the europeans are now trying to outdo the americans in what they consider to be a promising arms market, i have the impression that

the american... companies, they did not consider all these incentives that i spoke about, already too attractive, because they are different in terms of scope, and they have other opinions there, there is an eye towards india, towards the countries of the persian gulf, australia, there and there maybe there is something else, well , and their own, their own american budget is what drives american campaigns the american budget is perhaps half of all military expenditures in the... world, well , perhaps not half, well, there, well, almost perhaps half, that is, for them it is the most important thing, and that is why they did not invest much in it, they were not very interested in this tool, except, i think, lokid, which nevertheless produces many missiles that are used, for them it is an additional such market incentive, but now when we see that the europeans have started to use this mechanism, well

, it seems that it has started. .. some competition, but at the end of the day americans, they.
