american diplomat daniel frith and the equally legendary ukrainian diplomat roman bezsmertny. daniel frith will be working on the air of the tv channel now. flesh from the flesh of the american. of the state department, the former coordinator of sanctions policy affairs of the state department, a person who very well understands deterrence strategies and specific tactical steps, in particular, deterrence of the russian federation. i congratulate you, mr. ambassadors, on the air of the tv channel. congratulations, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. well, the swiss peace summit is approaching. so we understand that ukraine has proposed its formula, yes, which presupposes the withdrawal of russian interventionists from our territory and so on. we understand that this formula has already been tested at very high-level meetings of the international plan, right? this is the g7, and the g20, and so on and so forth. in

your opinion, what are the prospects now for the swiss summit to propose a new, clear strategy for containing russia, perhaps there is a feeling that it will be possible to make the russians listen. to this one positions ukraine's proposal to hold an international summit to discuss its peace formula deserves high praise. it has strategic and tactical advantages, emphasized by the importance of ukraine's initiatives and its perception as a country presenting its own plan for the political settlement of the conflict. the formula, which is based on ten points, is closely intertwined with the principles of the un charter. it is important that the issue of ukraine affects the crimea. around the world, in africa, asia, south america and the middle east. several summits have already been held, the next one will be held in switzerland in mid-june. again, this is a very good idea. on the one hand, we do not want the russians to claim that ukraine does not want to

participate in the negotiations. on the other hand, it is important for ukraine to be able to organize the widest possible consensus among as many countries as possible, based on certain of its. domental provisions. in my opinion, the ukrainians demonstrated great skill. the ukrainian government has excelled in recognizing areas of possible understanding between a very large group of countries at the international level, thereby laying the groundwork for more serious discussions in the future and preventing russia from isolating ukraine. that is why i consider the ukrainian initiative good, and i hope that the government of my country will be represented in switzerland. at the highest possible level, we'll see. dear mr. ambassador, frit, ukraine's position is extremely strong, yes, because they have committed unprovoked aggression against us, our civilian cities are being attacked, our civilians are being killed, our military is being killed, but we understand

that despite the strength of our position, our enemy in switzerland will not be there, and the key story will be what will be the position of the people's republic of china, will they, for example, agree to send their emissaries as observers, so in order to somehow orientate themselves in the current history, well, because we understand that there is a certain the consolidation of what is called the western world, but the chinese game, the chinese influence on the situation is extremely important, we understand that there were meetings in beijing between secretary of state antony blinkin, president macron, german chancellor olaf scholz, and after that, what did putin do? went to beijing and took his officials with him. china's position is one of the key international factors in russia's war calculations. china supported russia, providing it with many technologies and parts necessary for

waging war. the united states is not happy about it. us secretary of state tony blinken visited beijing and urged the chinese to stop supporting russia. the united states has imposed sanctions on some chinese companies that evade their compliance. these efforts are likely to continue and even intensify if china continues its efforts current rate interestingly, president putin visited beijing, and as far as i understand, the results of that visit were minor. the chinese are ready to help the russians, but not as much as they would like. it seems that in this chinese-russian. partnership without limits, there are certain limits, and yet china's position is that it does not want russia to lose, and therefore will support it. the united states and european countries need to continue to persuade and, if necessary, pressure the chinese to

refused to support russia. easy to say and not easy to do, it is quite difficult. china's position is a significant problem, and we cannot sit idly by. hands and watch how the chinese support putin's aggressive war against ukraine. well, in any case, xi jinping made a very symbolic trip to europe. continent: france, serbia, hungary. at the same time, when putin's inauguration took place in russia, i.e., which ended the process of putin's self-crowning. yes, xi jinping was not there. there was no xi jinping either the so-called parade on red square. maybe there are some prospects to agree on something with the chinese, or will they still try to stick to their own? some strategy about entering the european continent and possible approach to european markets.

china is trying to strengthen its position as the main dominant counterweight to the united states and europe. he is looking for potential allies in europe, whether on an ideological basis, like hungary, or on a commercial basis. the united states has decided that china is for them a long-term strategic competitor or even an adversary, and now. are actively debating whether china poses such a strong threat that the united states needs to focus all its efforts on fighting china, or even withdraw from europe and reduce its support for ukraine. this is the position of the so-called asia first group, which is associated with donald trump. the biden administration, on the other hand , believes that it is important to support ukraine and europe. they claim that if russia wins the war against ukraine, it will only get worse. security in asia, that is, will by no means improve it. this position, by the way, is shared by

the leaders of taiwan, south korea and japan, who have repeatedly and publicly stated that they will support ukraine, and that such support is in their interests. this is an extremely important message. that is, there is a debate that will continue after our election about how the united states should conduct its foreign policy, or support security in asia and europe? whether to focus exclusively on asia and weaken interest in europe is an old one an american debate that has now regained relevance. so far, the pro-european group, which believes the united states should support both its asian and european allies, holds the dominant position. however, people from donald trump's circle tend to support asians, that is, they prioritize china over ukraine and europe, which in my opinion is a very bad idea. thank you, mr. ambassador. in

any case, we understand that a lot of issues in world politics are currently on hold, because in many capitals of the world waiting for the american election, right? well , donald trump is an unpredictable person, who at one time was already the american president, but we in ukraine were very actively concerned when we tried to analyze what was happening in the american congress, so we... were worried, but on the other hand, it also demonstrated a certain the weakness of american democracy, when an extremely important question, a question of life, literally of the entire european people, could be put in jeopardy, we are grateful to the american administration, we are grateful to the american parliamentarians for finally bringing this story to a close, we got the money, but going back to donald trump and this corridor in the few...months before the election, what might happen before the election and what might happen after the election,

because we we don't know what donald trump number two will be like if he becomes president. we don't know, it is. ukrainians have every right to be grateful to the united states for the assistance provided and, at the same time, disappointed by the long, uncorrected delay in voting, regarding additional aid for ukraine. ukraine should also push. the united states to do everything we can, beyond what we are already doing, to support ukraine at this critical time. in the united states, as i said, there is a debate about strategy. president biden and his administration believe in what i would call a free world strategy. it is about supporting democracy in europe and asia, in particular, because we will not be able to successfully counter the chinese challenge if we allow russia to threaten ukraine and. in europe. to us it is necessary to deal with both great adversaries, china and russia. this is the position

of the biden administration. the position of donald trump and his supporters seems to be that ukraine has less value and priority. there have been times when donald trump has been hostile to ukraine and sympathetic to vladimir putin, which is a terrible position. it is also true that trump has recently changed his position on ukraine. on the eve of the vote in congress on providing additional aid to ukraine, donald trump published a statement on the true social website, which argued that the survival and strength of ukraine is in the interests of the united states. this one the statement was hidden within a long political post attacking the biden administration, and yet it was the rare occasion when donald trump acknowledged the importance of ukraine to the united states. i 'm not a fan of donald trump, but i think it was a good move and i hope it continues. however,

president biden is certainly a much more reliable supporter of ukraine than trump ever was or will be. ukraine is now in a critical situation, we understand that only decisive american assistance can make a dramatic difference on the battlefield. we understand that we are talking about heavy weapons, we are talking about possible bold decisions on the part of american democracy. we understand that in a few months the situation in the united states may change, and indeed we do not undertake to forecast or prophesy what it may be, and we understand that we need additional systems. against air defense, in order to close the sky over kharkiv, in order to close the sky in the north of our country, yes, because the russians launched the so-called kharkiv operation, and we have a request for additional patriot systems, so that we can protect our civilians, but we understand that it is also about aviation, and it is also

about a long-range artillery or missile component, and here the key... history is also about this, everyone is talking about whether or not there will be permission to use long-range american weapons to protect our citizens, so that our generals and our political leadership can determine for themselves where to hit, when russian interventionists will shell our cities. ukraine and ukrainian civil society are absolutely right to insist that the americans... provide more modern weapons systems. frankly, i agree with the ukrainians and americans like tory nuland, the former us deputy secretary of defense, who said that the united states should allow ukraine to use the weapons it provided to attack military targets in russia, not just ukraine. this is important from a military point of view to help ukrainians, in particular in kharkiv.

friends of ukraine insist that the biden administration remove some of the ob'. i hope the biden administration will act the same way they did on the long-range attackcams, it turns out that ukraine got these long-range missiles without public announcement, which allowed the ukrainians to surprise the russians with new weapons strikes on new russian targets, so it's better to just let the ukrainians action, less words, more action, hopefully that's what the biden administration will do, sometimes it feels like... what the biden administration is concerned about escalation, i do not understand why anyone should prevent ukrainians from defending their country, in particular, by forbidding, attacking specific places in russia, from where strikes are carried out on the territory of ukraine. this is a hotly debated issue in washington, and my friends and i are urging the administration to do everything it can to lift

these restrictions, both publicly and privately, and allow ukraine to use american weapons as it sees fit. dear mr. ambassador frith, are there any prospects that the words will be implemented the same president macron, right? well , general brown's statement was also extremely resonant, and we understand that it is about the prospect that, possibly, the military of our western friends and allies will end up on our territory in order to, perhaps, be not only instructors. if we talk about the seriousness of... voting for such a scenario, yes, because president zelenskyi, well, said that so far no such proposals have been received. president macron is expanding his support for ukraine in every possible way, and i congratulate him such efforts. i think now, more than ever , is a good idea to start looking at different options. recently, there have been many ideas about

sending technical experts, americans and europeans with technical abilities to ukraine to help ukrainians. in particular , for the training of ukrainian soldiers and the repair of ukrainian equipment on the territory of ukraine. there have also been proposals to allow nato units stationed in poland or romania, mostly in poland, to use their weapons to intercept russian missiles and drones that attack targets on the territory of ukraine. there have been several such proposals, but none have been adopted, and yet this suggests that the us and europe are considering what else they can do. do to help ukraine defend itself? of course, there are many questions that are actively being worked on in the run-up to the nato summit in washington in july, which is very quickly approaching, this one itself... should demonstrate that ukraine's ultimate goal in the future is nato membership. the us administration and secretary of state blinken they started talking about building a bridge to

nato. it's not quite a perfect metaphor. however, if this bridge is strong, made of steel and not paper, if it really leads ukraine to nato membership, and if it is short and not too long, then such a metaphor is quite appropriate. it can be a way to push politics. which will really achieve its goal. we understand that antony blinken is an extremely experienced and purposeful politician. we understand that the entire american administration is experienced and decent people. but when we talk about adoption extremely important decisions related to strategic weapons, we understand that this decision, this decision, of the american president, now it is president joseph biden, right? and we understand that history. by american aviation with f-16 planes, it drags and drags. we see positive signals, we understand that some of our aviators have already gone through certain training,

but we still haven't seen american, or i don't know, french or british planes, in which our pilots would sit and protect our skies. maybe you can say something more about the big discussions, in particular , regarding the allocation of aviation to us. and why am i talking now about american aviation, because this is really about the strategy of war, so we understand that putin has made a decision for himself not to spare the russian interventionists, and they are ready to simply exchange manpower for manpower, they are ready to give five or 10 of their interveners for one of our soldiers, because there is such a thing as a mobilization resource, and our enemy has a much larger mobilization resource than ours. speaking of aviation, we understand that it is about training pilots, providing fighters and logistics to support them. agree that the us took too long

to decide on the f-16. we should have dared to do this back in 2022 and act immediately. the delay has taken too much time, so i think some criticism of that is warranted. i don't know the details of the fighter jet provisioning process. but the sooner f-16s are in ukrainian skies with ukrainian pilots on board, the better for all of us. as for mobilization, then the russians have a considerable advantage. that is why the ukrainian government was right when it lowered the mobilization age. ukraine cannot afford young people not to serve in the army. i understand that they need to be trained, but ukraine must act quickly to solve the problem of the lack of soldiers. this is not an easy decision, but it is an important one. and we cannot ignore him. this is ukraine's decision. the united states, europe can help with weapons, and i fully agree that we should do more.

now that congress has voted for the bailout, we must make sure that it arrives in ukraine as soon as possible. the russians are trying to break through in the north and east before the weapons are fully delivered to ukraine. we must act, we in europe and the us must do more and act. rather, to help ukraine stop the russian offensive. we have to do it urgently, and i think that it is the united states that should give the impetus to get the weapons to ukraine as soon as possible. lendlis, the law on lendlis and the prospects of its application as a certain auxiliary tool whatever tools are used, we have to make sure that the weapon gets where it needs to go. we all need to ensure that the resource... are available to ukraine in the future, the biden administration is trying very hard to use as many frozen russian assets as possible, those that the us,

europe and the g7 blocked after the february 2022 invasion. some progress has been made, but not enough. we must make it possible to take as much of this money as possible and use it to help ukraine. it must be done quickly. there is money, and it is for. now is the time to use them, dear mr. ambassador frith, the question of money, so we understand that hundreds of billions of dollars of russian funds are frozen in the world, and we understand that war is not only about human resources, not only about military resources, it is also about financial resources, well, we understand that this issue is extremely painful for our enemy, so we understand that the russian oligarchic economy was built, in particular, on... keeping stolen money from russians for border, and now more than 300 billion dollars are waiting until they can help us in

ukraine to fight... against unprovoked aggression, but we understand that it is possible, we are also talking about additional sanctions packages, unfortunately, there is a feeling, yes, in particular , well , we were surprised in ukraine by the reaction of national security adviser jake salev, who said that it is not worth hitting oil refining facilities in russia when we are talking about the use of drones, especially given that russia has almost destroyed all ours are thermal power plants, i.e.... they targeted every time so that ukraine would be in the dark. the us and the j7 countries must reach a consensus on using as much of the frozen russian assets as possible. we must use this money to compensate for the consequences of russia's unprovoked war of aggression. regarding sanctions, there are additional steps that should be taken. i believe the biden administration is looking into this, and

so are some of my friends. they are talking with the administration about what else can be done to put pressure on the russian economy. we must consider all the levers we have to push russia out of ukraine and weaken its ability to wage war. russia is a tough and dangerous enemy. who but ukrainians should know about this? we in the west must understand that russia will not stop in ukraine. if putin succeeds in ukraine, he will quickly move on. threatens the baltic countries, it threatens moldova, there are reports of the work of russian agents who use methods of disinformation and actual sabotage, particularly in western europe. russia under the leadership putin is a huge threat and we must act accordingly. dear mr. ambassador, frit, we in ukraine do not believe in putin, i think no one in the world believes in putin, but he regularly gives one or another false signals

about russia's readiness for those. or other negotiations, and at the same time all his followers always say, well, taking into account the realities on the ground, it is about the fact that russia would like to leave behind the temporarily occupied territories, we understand that this plan will not go through, well, but in any case, in one of his latest statements, putin again mentioned istanbul agreements, although we understand that they were not agreements, because they did not receive the proper signatures and acceptance, well, at least ... in ukraine, but if we talk about putin's signals, what does he mean, and maybe russia is simply not putin shows this, in fact would be ready for certain serious, significant concessions. currently, i believe that russia has absolutely no interest in any serious negotiations to end its war of aggression. they just cynically look at the offers in order to

use them to their advantage. if the russians will be serious about negotiations, they will know how to conduct them. the basis of the negotiations should be the ukrainian 10-point peace formula, and not the russian statement that the negotiations should begin with ukraine's recognition of russian conquests, part of its territories. the russians are not serious about the negotiations, they can become serious only when they feel that they are losing, that is, when the balance of the battle shifts in favor of ukraine. putin's announced military exercises with the use of tactical nuclear weapons are certain signals of intimidation, or is it could it really be anything more serious? i think that putin is using the possibility of nuclear escalation to intimidate the united states and europe again, but i don't think that he will get anything out of it. in the fall of 2022, the kremlin also threatened to use nuclear weapons.
