5:00 am
from traitors and collaborators from the gauleiter to petty officials in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine. these swindlers have already said goodbye to their apartments, houses, cars, land and money. i am sure that soon each of them will say goodbye to freedom, and some, perhaps, to life. the fate of those who support the enemy by their actions is unpredictable, but always disastrous. it was the program collaborators and i, olena kononenko. if you want to. to tell us about kremi progenitors, write to 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! glory to ukraine, dear tv viewers, on espresso tv channel, studio program. the event
5:01 am
will analyze the most important events of this week, in particular, we will talk about the strengthening of american support and the situation in the russian federation, which is most likely preparing for a so-called existential war. our guests today are matthew bryza and oleksandr morozov. matthew bryza, an ex-counselor, will now be on the air of the espresso tv channel secretary of state of the united states, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the us national security council. glory to ukraine, dear mr. ambassador. i congratulate you. well, the key story: the united states gave the go-ahead. congress, the senate and president joseph biden have signed an extremely important package. it is about money and finances. but etekens will also supply. we understand that, rather, it was etekems that they were a certain red line. i do not know in what way the communication took place, but as far as we understand that the kremlin tried in every way. to prohibit the transfer
5:02 am
of long-range missile systems to us, and now in washington a historic decision was made. yes, of course, this is a historic decision, and you and i have been waiting for it for more than one month. you may recall that back in october of last year, when speaker johnson first became speaker, i expressed concern that he had consistently voted against military aid to ukraine. however , it happened that the weight of his responsibility helped him in another way. on the need to help ukraine. under considerable pressure president biden, as well as under the influence of president zelensky and evangelicals, particularly baptists from ukraine, speaker johnson eventually found a way to navigate the complexities of the us political system and negotiate a deal. his success demonstrates remarkable skill and strategic foresight. it is good to see that the united states congress is now following the strategic interest of support. of ukraine.
5:03 am
as for the c attacks, we learned last week that the united states had already provided them, albeit separately from the latest aid package, and on at the request of the government of ukraine, they did it secretly. obviously, this is a very important step, as it will force russia to move its supply depots further from the front lines. this will also allow the ukrainian troops to hit the command centers of the russian troops, as well as, presumably, the crimean bridge. undoubtedly. this is yet another violation of russia's red lines, but given the many red lines that have already been crossed, the gradual approach of the biden administration appears to deter russia from further escalation. now the focus of attention shifts to whether will ukraine be able to mobilize enough soldiers on the battlefield and stop russia from breaking through, despite the lack of ammunition in ukraine for the past six months. yes, we are extremely grateful
5:04 am
to the united states for all that it does for us. on the other hand, we are also aware that, rather, russia is preparing for another increase in the level of escalation. they fired at odessa with a ballistic iskander with cluster ammunition. that is, russia demonstrates that they are ready to raise and raise the level escalation and the commission of barbaric crimes against the civilian population. and accordingly we would like to hear. that in washington it is understood that ukraine may have to be further strengthened when we talk, in particular, about very specific systems, both missile and anti-missile, about the air defense system, we do not have enough patriot systems to close our peaceful cities yeah, i mean, supplying more patriot batteries is something that 's being discussed now, and of course the biden administration understands. how barbaric, how
5:05 am
you rightly described, there are these attacks on civilians as well as energy infrastructure, the whole world is seeing it and every time russia does this... it loses more and more credibility on the international stage, so i think the additional patriot systems, as well as f-16s, will be delivered to ukraine soon, which will make it more difficult to use russian-guided aerial bombs, which have such a devastating effect on the civilian population in ukraine, and we should reflect on the situation that arose about a year ago, when before the united states provided hymars, russia was free to shell eastern ukraine. and with artillery, since the ukrainian artillery did not have a sufficient range to respond effectively to the shelling. however, things have changed now, and not only thanks to hymers, but also thanks to atakams. while russia continues to seek escalation, it can now only achieve this by targeting civilians. as
5:06 am
i already mentioned, the ukrainian military was without significant additional assistance from the us for about six months. russia managed to advance only a few. kilometers behind bakhmut, that is, her successes were not significant. ukraine has successfully resisted this advance, and given the inevitable increase in its capabilities, russia's attempts to escalate the conflict by harming civilians are unlikely to succeed on the battlefield. dear mr. ambassador brysen, i would like to ask you about the prospects for the formation of a new agenda, in particular the swiss peace summit. most likely, the russians and ... allies of the russians will not be represented there in switzerland at the peace summit, the question is whether will the chinese be there as observers, how do you think the agenda of what will happen in switzerland will differ now, and in general, if we are talking about the prospects of the european union, how
5:07 am
seriously will the europeans be ready to defend their independence and their sovereignty in the event of a threat , yes, because i threaten the russians extremely powerfully. firstly, based on my experience of mediating conflicts in eastern europe, such as abkhazia, ossetia and nagorno- karabakh, i noticed that the swiss constantly seek to play a role in such situations, they perceive themselves as highly effective mediators, which often turns out not to be true, so i don't think there is any cause for concern about the swiss convening european and american officials. this does not necessarily mean a softening of europe's position regarding russia's invasion of ukraine. i believe that key european leaders such as emmanuel macron, olaf scholz and others such as george maloney are fully committed to supporting ukraine in its fight against russia. assessing the level
5:08 am
aid provided to ukraine, it is worth noting that great britain and germany are in second and third place, respectively. their commitment remains steadfast. among'. leadership, there is a common understanding of the potential threat to the baltic states from russia if nato's deterrent forces are considered weak, as we have already discussed. president macron stated that it is possible that european or french soldiers could end up on the territory of ukraine. yes, it was wrapped in very powerful diplomatic papers, but, but, but, no one says, well, we understand that there is a certain prospects and may have to help us on land as well. macron has gone through a pretty amazing transformation. he tried to be the only european interlocutor who could dissuade putin from invading. i will never forget the longest table in the world, when putin
5:09 am
was so afraid that macron would infect him with covid in the kremlin. and now, as we all see, macron has become one of the staunchest supporters of confrontation with russia. however... the macron statement you refer to, i wouldn't take it as saying that france is ready to send their troops to ukraine. i do not see such a readiness on the part of any of the nato member countries. rather, i see it as an acknowledgment of that possibility under certain circumstances, particularly if russia continues its current behavior. as you and i have already said, mr. borkovsky, a scenario is possible when coalitions of nato member states will act outside of nato, but... exercising its sovereign prerogatives, it can intervene at ukraine's request if russia pushes it. in this context, macron's statement looks like a confirmation of the possibility of such actions conversely, a categorical refusal to deploy any forces of nato member countries in
5:10 am
ukraine will weaken the deterrent signal that ukraine's western allies are trying to convey to russia. the visit of the secretary of state of the united states is extremely important. blinkin to the people's republic of china. we don't know all the details of what blinkin discussed with xi jinping, well, but there are certain, certain parts of the powerful public. signals, as well as antony blinkin, de facto warned xi jinping that it is impossible to pretend that china is not helping russia, because he de facto provides it with everything necessary for waging a war against ukraine, well, except for weapons and personnel, this is how they help the russians, and blinkin warned the chinese, asked them not to do this. so, in response , xijing ping began to talk about how he thinks the united states and china, they are all great. states must be responsible and respect the territorial integrity, sovereignty of other states, and so on and so
5:11 am
forth. what did xijin ping really mean and how far would the united states be willing to go states in order to discourage the chinese people's republic from supporting russia. but china did not give everything to russia at once, right? in his peace plan, especially in the first point regarding ukraine, the main emphasis is on preserving territorial integrity. china's own interests in taiwan, so russia's invasion of ukraine put china in a difficult diplomatic position. china with russia, or xi jinping with putin, want to work together to undermine the so-called rules-based international order, established and supported by the united states, but xinjin pin does not want to condone undermining the territorial integrity of ukraine in any way. by the way, in order to maneuver in this difficult situation, china was...careful, avoiding open violation of g7 sanctions. minister blinkin was forced to publicly
5:12 am
warn china against giving russia any military aid it might need. unlike iran and north korea, china has not become an open supplier of ballistic missiles or drones. i do not have seen reports that china supplies a lot of munitions, as does north korea. so china is walking a diplomatic tightrope, and blinkin shares this opinion. and the visit to beijing is aimed at continuing efforts aimed at reducing previously heightened tensions in us-china relations. this strategy is consistent with a series of visits by us ministers or government officials to china even before blinkin and sinzimpian met near san francisco last november. the current us approach has to aims to ease pressure on china. at the same time, making it clear that excessive support for russia can cause diplomatic problems. consequences and possibly other sanctions, dear mr. ambassador bryza, well, i would ask
5:13 am
you to respond accordingly to what is happening in russia now, taking into account the very different signals that come from the kremlin, but what they are creating now is a multi-role, we understand which indicates their readiness to continue the war, despite these or other signals, that is, we have no illusions, but perhaps there are a number of factors that could demonstrate that that... that the kremlin is hesitating, whether the kremlin would be ready to enter into a very long war, but at the moment we see that the kremlin is showing its readiness to fight for ukrainian lands, yes, sparing neither its soldiers nor its resources. putin feels that he cannot stop now or it could be the end of him, even physically. however, as already mentioned, the russian offensive lacks success. in fact, their progress is minimal, although they are...advancing, but at a very slow pace, it took them almost a year to advance only 16 km beyond bahmud, their
5:14 am
the inability to launch a successful offensive without additional mobilization presents a significant problem. during the latest mobilization, hundreds of thousands of men fled russia, a sign of putin's internal problems. currently, his powers are essentially in a state of stagnation, despite some progress. we can only hope that ukraine. troops will persistently resist the current offensive, and with the arrival of additional military assistance , the dynamic will change, giving ukraine some respite before the next push. but think, even if putin can mobilize say 100,000 soldiers for an offensive, where to recruit experienced commanders, there is a specific lack of them, because so many have been killed and wounded, so even if more people are recruited into the army, more commanders will be needed, that is.. .if you are on the russian side, they need to produce a lot more artillery shells and
5:15 am
art munitions, as far as i understand, they are only producing half the 155mm and 122mm artillery shells they need for the offensive. yes, they are now produce five times more art projectiles than ukraine, but you understand, a significant escalation will require a much larger volume of production. so i think over the next year we'll see that... russia can't make any significant territorial gains, and the ukrainian military will get stronger, and then maybe 2025 will be the year of the ukrainian offensive, after all, if ukraine... russia with crimea, this will completely change putin's approach. in particular, his commitment to continuous attacks on the civilian population and war crimes against ukrainian population. mr. ambassador,
5:16 am
how should we deal with the publication in the american press, in which it was said that... american officials recommended our official kyiv not to attack russian oil refining facilities. i believe that the recent request or warning of the white house to ukraine not to strike deep into russian territory, in particular on oil refineries, was ill-considered and unreasonable. this is a rather selfish, arrogant and strategically unreasonable step. of course, i understand that the president. very wants to win the elections in the fall, i think that it will be better for all of us, for all friends of ukraine, if he wins. however, as far as i'm concerned, the importance of disrupting russian fuel supplies far outweighs any potential slight increase in the price of petroleum products, i.e. gasoline, in the united states before the november election. there are many factors
5:17 am
affecting the prices of oil and petroleum products such as gasoline, and removing relatively small supplies of russian... refined oil, gasoline, or diesel from global markets is unlikely to have significant influence on us elections. from a strategic perspective, it appears that president biden's political team may have acted hastily, succumbing to panic. there may have been an internal debate that boiled down to the fact that you who advocate allowing ukraine to hit russian refineries warned of potential job losses and no second term for the president. and biden, which will lead to less support for ukraine if oil prices rise excessively, although there is some truth in these fears. any a significant rise in oil prices will be a global phenomenon, not just the result of losses at russian refineries. well , accordingly, i cannot avoid the topic of the washington summit, so we understand that
5:18 am
a historic summit will take place, a summit during the russian aggression against ukraine, and we would hope that... at this summit , our status and prospects will finally be defined as soon as possible joining the euro-atlantic community. we understand that sweden and finland managed to join nato in record time. we understand at the same time, what kind of responsibility it could entail for the rest of the euro-atlantic community, because during the war, well, at the same time, the fifth article of the euro-atlantic union would have to be applied. as i understand it, nato intends to use the 75th anniversary summit in washington to emphasize its status as the most successful military-political alliance in history, thanks to which it managed to prevent major conflicts between its member countries and russia and the soviet union. in addition, it is expected that the summit will emphasize the need to provide ukraine
5:19 am
greater political and military assistance, and therefore readiness for such support. however, as far as membership is concerned. since ukraine is not a nato member, support from the alliance is limited. there were no signs of plans to accelerate ukraine's accession to nato, and such discussions are unlikely to take place during the summit. as for sweden and finland, it is important to recognize their long-standing readiness for nato membership. both countries have been diligently developing their military potential for ten years. finland can boast of one of the most experienced armies of europe with a significant presence. artillery units along the russian border and a powerful air force equipped with american f-18 fighters. similarly, sweden has a very capable military and for the past decade and a half has essentially committed itself to providing military assistance to nato members, pursuant to article five, even though it was not itself a member of the alliance.
5:20 am
they were ready, both militarily , to join nato and to participate in the alliance's defense efforts. the situation in ukraine is significant differs in the context of the ongoing conflict, ukraine needs support from the nato community to protect its sovereignty and restore territorial integrity. it is unlikely that the alliance will speed up the process of ukraine's accession to nato in the conditions of the current war. however, at the 75th anniversary summit, nato must unequivocally confirm that ukraine's membership in the alliance remains an unwavering commitment and that the alliance is ready to help ukraine in this. after ukraine wins this war. it is also important that nato does not play along with putin's false narrative about that it was nato that caused the war in ukraine, when in reality we all know that it was a war. choice or a war of aggression unleashed by putin and aimed at subjugating ukraine. i would like to ask you about the correct strategy on the part of official kyiv in relations
5:21 am
with the administration of president joseph biden and the possible, possible administration of donald trump. we understand that the key story is to preserve our interests, protect our national, ukrainian interests, but on the other hand, we are grateful to the biden administration and we understand that donald trump in any case... the team can have serious influences and in six months in america, it is not known what will happen, so delicately formulated, at the same time, but we understand that tucker carlson gives one strange interview after another, in particular, with people who belong to russian culture and russian influence, but a couple of days ago, tucker carlson recorded an interview with the fascist dugin. ukraine is acting absolutely correctly, its strategy with regard to the biden administration. which will be the strategy for the trump administration is to continue to emphasize both the moral and strategic imperative for the united states to continue to assist ukraine. it is difficult
5:22 am
to imagine a us president who would support ukraine more than joe biden. as we remember, he was the responsible person in the obama administration for the ukrainian policy of the usa after the russian invasion of ukraine in 2014. and having the honor of working directly with him, i have seen it with my own eyes. saw his unwavering commitment to the nato family and to containing russian aggression in the region if trump will be removed, although he generally shows less support for ukraine, and he was impeached precisely because of the way he treated president zelensky, i mean the first impeachment of president trump. however, despite this, it was not barack obama who provided military aid to ukraine after the previous russian invasion. it was donald trump who first authorized the transfer of javelin anti-tank missiles to ukraine. moreover, when speaker johnson announced his intention to bring the aid package to ukraine to a vote, trump did not object to it and even expressed positive emotions towards speaker johnson
5:23 am
after the successful approval of the aid package. i think that even donald trump, as predictable and problematic as he is, because of his relationship with russia, will understand that the united states needs to continue to support ukraine as much as possible. as for tucker carlson. then he is completely discredited in the united states. his interview with vladimir putin humiliated him. and now he is considered a puppet or a clown who sits in putin's pocket. and his next interview with mr duginim strengthened this perception even more. the interview with vladimir putin was absolutely disgraceful. carlson acted like a schoolboy watching michael jordan or lionel messi. and people saw this and understood that he was just a fool on a leash. cardson's journalistic reputation has been irreparably damaged, although he still has a following among some far-right conspiracy theorists, his influence in the mainstream has greatly diminished, so there is no
5:24 am
reason to worry about his continued relevance. thank you very much dear sir ambassador braza for this brilliant analysis on the air of the tv channel, i want to remind our tv viewers that matthew bryza, ex-adviser of the secretary of state of the united states, once... director of european and eurasian affairs at the us national security council, worked for them now. thank you. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. exclusively on the air of our channel. greetings, friends. politklub is on the air on the espresso tv channel. the most relevant topics of the week. russia's war against ukraine. war in the middle east. the crisis on the border between ukraine and... poland is a topic that resonates in our country society drone attack on kyiv and other cities of ukraine, drone attacks on moscow and other russian cities. analysis of the processes

5:27 am
oleksandr morozov, political expert, publicist, who is currently in prague, will work on the espresso tv channel. i congratulate you, mr. oleksandr. good day, congratulations. well, it seems like a small story when we talk about the arrest of the deputy minister of defense of russia ivanov, that is, small against the background of the general apocalypse, but in any case it is a very characteristic and possibly symptomatic moment, that is, a person which in principle was, well, its main function is to work. mantsem shoigu, yes, received a black label from the fsb, and we understand that this means that the patrushev clan is more likely to be strengthened at the expense of the shoigu clan. first of all, it must be said that the arrest of a person with such a status is an extraordinary event for the entire russian political and military-political machine. and the consequences of this will naturally be very significant, i think
5:28 am
those who... are right now saying that the blow to serhii shuigu is quite serious, and if he did not try to soften this blow now, besides, many expect that after the inauguration, when putin announces the composition of the new government, there will be a new defense minister, it is quite possible. but this is one aspect of personnel, it can be quite important, because who will be next, it is important, and if a blow is really struck at shoigu... and his people, and they, first of all, are the initiators of this, then, of course, this will mean further mobilization , the escalation of the war on their part, and there is another assumption, which is related to the fact that the kremlin is preparing to create a so-called defense council, a supra-agency body. such ideas are public put forward, to transfer to this body everything related to military construction, provision of the army, i.e. the entire system.
5:29 am
chemezov and, apparently, then his person may head the ministry of defense. for now, this is all speculation. regarding the corruption component, it must be said that deputy minister ivanov lived very richly, everyone saw it, he did not hide his fortune and the prosperity of his family. even by kremlin standards, it was too much. he felt reliably protected, but at the same time the whole system of kickbacks, about this is now being written a lot in telegram channels, where some details of the investigation are reported, there are already some testimonies, those who managed subcontractors, there are really huge kickbacks and stretching of budget funds. in fact, there is also good news in this, because this whole environment of z-patriots, all those who, for ideological reasons, are engaged in the development of occupied
5:30 am
territories. all of them. now they are shouting out loud, looking at the arrest of ivanov and the details that are getting into the public, they are all burned, because they can see perfectly that all this is the so-called restoration of mariupol, it is all a huge financial scam and looting. in fact, this is not so bad, because it shows the terrible depravity of the entire putin system. of course, i would like citizens who look at it to draw some conclusions from this. in russia, well, unfortunately, the hope that someone will draw certain conclusions is not too optimistic for me, but if we talk, for example, about role-playing games now in the kremlin and around putin, that is, you mentioned that the strengthening of patrushev - this will mean the strengthening of the war party. on the one hand, patrushev is himself before the fsb and the rest of the russian security forces. and
