in from other, say, author projects, it is comedic, so we believe that we have a great chance to collect this budget. roman, i have a question for you, yes, as i understand it, since the action takes place in the 2000s, it will be, well, a variation on the theme of the tereodors from osyukivka, yes, there, this, this will be a modernized version, and tell me about it, so that i know a lot of people who will tell you it's not accurate according to... the text should have been the same as the text, it wasn't written that way, because we now have questions about accuracy, of course, but tell me how far you are ready to go in fantasies and departure from the original text? well, i wouldn't say that, for example, the stories in kyiv are the second part of the trilogy, very, very difficult to fit into the 2000s, on the contrary, it fits very well, everything that happens there can be imagined in kyiv in the year 2000. plus, there is

the dovzhenko film studio in history, there are trukhaniv ostriv, you know, the main locations, you can say, different theaters, ah, it will be more ukrainianized, definitely, but we will not and will not deviate very much from the first work we want, because how about us nestaiko writes very, very vividly, that is, his books, they are primarily about action, and some scenes. in the book, it's literally like you 're watching a movie, every action is there, sometimes you can even feel how he puts the camera in his words, and the village, as i already said, is a timeless story, and especially a village like vasyukivka, you can say a fictional village, so you can imagine it at any time, and the events that will take place there will also be relevant at any time, well, we have only one left literally... i understand that it is impossible

guesswork, but at least you have a plan for how many years this movie can be released, and if all the stars are as we need them, then with the best schedule of events, we can start shooting next year, it could be the end of summer, it could be beginning of autumn and with the best schedules, we can count on the premiere in three years, let's say, but we are not guessing, we are working and will do everything possible to make it happen as soon as possible. thank you very much, we will wait for this adaptation, yes hope everything goes well with the financing, with the release, we'll keep an eye on the cast, i... hope you

'll announce all the new things you 'll have on set, i wonder who you'll cast as the leads roles, and we were talking, i will remind our viewers about the upcoming film adaptation of vsevolod's rabble of bullfighters from vasyukivka, roman krasnoshchok and anton chistyakov will shoot it, we also had direct contact with veronika stepanchuk, the producer of this film, and i really want to... of course see this one film adaptation, i want it to be successful, and i also want someone to finally film anatoly kostetskyi, my favorite children's writer, much less attention is paid to him than to the village of danystayka, but in vain, because his works are also very cinematic, as well very interesting, bright, so i think that someone should do it in maivodnyam. that's all, friends, and i say goodbye to you, i wish you a quiet, peaceful, and weekend and see you

next week, destroy targets, observe, adjust fire, work the tools of these guys, rifles, leon and skiv - snipers of the first separate special purpose brigade named after ivan. bohun came to the defense of his homeland as soon as the russians launched a full-scale invasion. from the first days, there was an immediate desire to go and help my comrades in the regular troops, who already at that moment began to repel this offensive. the first months were the same, the most interesting, because military service is one thing, and this is completely different, and therefore there are a lot of different... emotions, both bad and

good, it's like that, well, it's impossible to forget. leon, commander of the department, in the first months of a large-scale war. was in the chernihiv region, then there was the kharkiv counteroffensive, they understood that something would happen, well, they had very good fortifications, defensive lines, but they probably did not expect such a large-scale and such a well-coordinated offensive. skif, a marksman, tried to join the armed forces throughout the spring of 2022 and was appointed in june of the same year. he says that he wanted to be a sniper for a long time, but real experience can be gained only on the battlefield. there were training, of course, but probably you gain most of the experience right there on the battlefield, because it is such an integral, let's say, part, it is practice, theory is theory, but

practice still gives, gives much more. both of them remembered luhansk oblast as the hottest direction, the silver forest, an area that the enemy... a special onslaught, there were pluses, it was easy for the infantry to dig in there, but it was difficult because the terrain was difficult , it was very difficult to navigate, especially at night, it was very difficult to pass some sites, constantly, if there are no special means for night vision, then it is very easy to get lost in this forest a lot. a lot of trees are close distances, there were also some problems that didn't quite play into their hands, there were a lot of drones, they could be easily blocked and without night vision devices.

during two years of full-scale war, the defenders went through many hot spots and difficult battles. it was possible to work with a very complex weapon. in particular, both mention the barret m-107, a modern rifle capable of destroying lightly armored vehicles. the peculiarity of this rifle is that it is easy to handle to work on lightly armored vehicles, like, and it penetrates lightly armored armor, it was during the kharkiv operation, our comrade destroyed a bmp, like from... snipers are constantly improving their skills in order to confront the enemy, who also does not stand still, at the same time, they are sure that the motivation and skill of the ukrainian army is the key to our victory. in general, everything usually

starts, well, with training, yes, there are also a lot of videos, there are a lot of different other, let's say, ways to learn something new. this also helps, well, in general, the main one experience, it comes precisely in combat conditions, during a full-scale invasion , they develop from the very beginning, just as we try to develop, learn something new, come up with some life hacks of our own, well , the workers who will work, they also break, from this side there are people who... know how to fight, and they have always been there, and you should never underestimate the enemy. leon and skif are now back in position, luring russian snipers and ambushes and delivering the most unexpected blows so that ukraine gets justice as soon as possible peace kateryna galko, serhii bulanenko,

espresso tv channel. in ukraine, dear tv viewers, on the air of the tv channel, the program studio zahid, we will analyze the most important of what is called high security international policy. our guests today are matthew bryza and oleg rybachuk. our first guest is matthew bryza, former adviser to the united states secretary of state, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the us national security council. glory to ukraine, mr. ambassador, god save america. glory to heroes. well, the key story is huge the diplomatic, negotiating circle that we are now walking on, we understand that the g7 meetings should take place, so, in particular, between the president of the united states biden and the president of ukraine zelensky, we understand that the g7 will be a key platform for discussing security issues and at the same time

, the so-called swiss peace summit is approaching, dedicated, in particular, to how to stop russian aggression, of course, russia and its allies... china will not be there, i would ask you to outline a certain diplomatic-military-political contour of that the situation in which ukraine is now. i think we will see. very strong and unified support of ukraine at the meeting of the group of seven countries. the problems in the west from the point of view of maintaining this support for ukraine are primarily concentrated in budapest. the big seven will probably come to some package of economic support for ukraine. i hope that there will be progress in the issue of using the profits from frozen russian assets located in brussels and providing this money to ukraine. as for the peace summit in switzerland, it is very important that it obviously... all without russia. it would certainly be better if china was present, but china

chose a very cautious path for itself. to say that china is an ally of russia is an understatement . china and russia undoubtedly have common interests in their efforts to counter the us and its allies. however, given the current discussions between china and russia regarding natural gas supplies, china is clearly the more powerful partner and is putting pressure on russia. and gazprom to get a much lower price for russian natural gas than it wants russia. therefore, i think that the geopolitical forces at the g7 meeting and at the peace summit will be deployed in favor of ukraine. yes, well, but on the other hand, we understand that china's position, unfortunately, what concerns geopolitical issues, possibly security ones, is related to russia's position, and beijing has voiced what we would not like to hear, in particular beijing says that in order to be moves dedicated to russian aggression are successful, russia should also be represented there,

and this is china's position, and that is why china is absent from switzerland at this summit, even as an observer. what should we do with china's security position. china's position remains the same as before. let's recall when he announced his so-called peace plan for ukraine, the first point was preservation and restoration. territorial integrity of ukraine, which russia did not like very much. we also know that china and xi jinping later reportedly warned president putin to stop threatening to use nuclear weapons, saying that china strongly opposes russia taking such a step. china, to things, has seen ukraine as an important trading partner for many years, but as i said, china's deep security interests lie in... us leadership and the so-called rules-based international order that the united states has actively

helped create. so china will be against the usa, together with its european allies, insisting on ukraine's victory in the war with russia. instead , china will be very happy if the us and its european allies continue to be engaged in a terrible war in ukraine, while it will strengthen its geopolitical positions in the middle east, especially. in relation to saudi arabia and in central asia. dear mr. ambassador bryze, i would like to ask you in general about the parameters of the current negotiations. we understand that there is a public part, there are certain resolutions, yes, it will be at the g7, it will be at the swiss summit, that is, public statements, public handshakes, and at the same time there will be a non-public part, when politicians or representatives of governments will say what is called possible, i emphasize, possible a peaceful framework, and we understand that most likely after the swiss summit there will be another

summit and maybe not one, but the key story is certain parameters, and in one of his last interviews, the president of the united states, joseph biden, either slandered or hinted , so he says, in order to ensure the security of ukraine, it is not necessary to join nato, somehow, it is not literal, and we understand that it is also possible for you... certain, i don't know, soundings, certain probing of similar things. so, first of all, i would ask you to outline a potential framework for negotiations. president biden's comments about ukraine's possible membership in nato must be interpreted in the proper context. the first part of this context, as all senior us officials keep repeating, is that the decision was made in april 2008 at the bucharest nato summit... ukraine and georgia will become nato members as soon as it is determined that they have met all the criteria.

this is the policy of nato. another part of this important context is that putin is constantly trying to intimidate the european allies of the united states and split them from the united states, claiming that the us is acting recklessly in ukraine and is leading the entire alliance to war against russia. this is not true, but putin is using the fear that the us. will drag nato into a war with russia, as a way to strengthen its position in russian politics, portraying itself as the savior of russia in a defensive war, which is simply ridiculous, because it is an aggressive war on ... putin himself dared. in addition, putin is trying to intimidate european allies into thinking, wow, nato is at war with ukraine, and if this is highlighted by the possibility, or even by biden's statement that that ukraine will become a member of nato, it will fuel these fears. so, biden is playing international politics by saying that the us is not pushing for ukraine's membership in nato

today. he should have said: i don't see that happening right now. he was not careful in his statements, but this is not the first time he has done so. the bottom line is that one should not attach too much importance to his statement. if ukraine continues to meet the criteria, then after the end of this war, ukraine has a very good chance of quickly joining nato. yes, it is extraordinary significant signals, well, but on, for example, if we talk about the specifics, we understand that the key to that are those conditions or those parameters. were acceptable to us, this means the liberation of our territories temporarily occupied by the enemy. another point is that the enemy included them in its composition and even voted, well, the so-called voting procedure in the state duma, when we talk about our temporarily occupied territories, and we also understand that the rest of the issues there are already questions, so to speak ,

auxiliary, the key story is territories, and we see that the enemy is only increasing his power'. conducting extremely active combat operations. where do you think putin will try to go now? this is the reality of this terrible invasion that putin has launched. he started an aggressive war, violating international law and occupying ukrainian territory. he continues to take steps to legitimize illegal political arrangements in these occupied ukrainian territories, which is a further violation of international law. war is... politics by other means, so putin is using the war against ukraine to achieving their political goals, including the occupation and integration of these ukrainian territories into the russian federation. no one in europe, the united states or our other allies around the world will ever recognize such actions by russia. ukraine can settle the situation in its favor only

by winning on the battlefield. and that is why it is so important that the ukrainian armed forces grow numerically. the troops fighting on the front lines are exhausted and need rest and rotation, so ukrainians, especially men, must join the army, we in the usa and europe should provide ukraine with more weapons that it needs, do it on time, and not with such long delays of six months as last time, this is unacceptable. we should have done long ago what president biden eventually agreed to do, which is to allow ukraine to use the weapons provided. to retaliate against russian troops on the territory of the russian federation who are planning or have already launched another attack on ukraine. yes, this is an extremely important moment, and at the same time we are grateful to the american administration, and personally to president joseph biden, for his efforts that he has already demonstrated, when we are talking about money

in the amount of more than 61 billion and about weapons, and now we see that the united states will rather mature to ... permission to use american weapons on russian territory, we are not talking about temporarily occupied ukrainian lands, actually on russian territory, this is a very important essential point, we understand that no one is going to hit lenin's mausoleum with atacamas, in particular , we are talking about specific military objects that located near the border, but still this is an extremely important military-psychological decision. in my view, this move is long overdue... absolutely ridiculous that president biden has allowed himself to be held back by cold war-era fears that russia could provoke a strategic nuclear confrontation with the united states over the war in ukraine. it is clear and absolutely obvious that biden was guided by these fears. putin's threats definitely had an effect on him, and i understand that what happened was that the secretary of defense, general

austin, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general brown and national security adviser jake sullivan came to the same conclusion i just stated: ukraine must be able to defend itself should russia resume its attacks on kharkiv from russian territory. according to international law, ukraine should be able to strike russian military facilities and personnel if they are preparing to, or have already launched, attacks on ukraine, striking ukrainian military personnel, or, worst of all, civilians in kharkiv i also understand that after secretary of state blinken's last visit to kyiv and his discussions with president zelenskyi and others, he returned to washington convinced that it was time to address the president. biden and tell him that it is time to make another decision. thank goodness president biden was persuaded and finally agreed to do something that made sense from the beginning.

now i believe that what the usa had to press, put the american leadership of nato in a bad light. last week i was in london and talked with some high-ranking officials there. and it was clear to us that it was the minister of foreign affairs, david, who was pressed. nato secretary general stoltenberg, and earlier it was done by french president emmanuel macron. all of them seem to have driven president biden to kud. macron suggested that it is possible that one day french troops could be on the territory of ukraine, and cameron and stoltenberg stressed that ukraine should be able to use the weapons we provide against russian forces that are preparing or have already attacked to ukraine. if biden continued to resist... these important nato allies, us leadership in nato would be in question. in the end, he made the right decision, but unfortunately, so much damage was done both to

the reputation of the us, as the leader of nato, and of course to poor ukraine during all these months, while it could not strike military targets in russia. yes, thank you very much, this is an extremely important analysis of what is happening now. on the other hand, you mentioned president macron, i have one sometimes i'll feel... it turns out that i'm watching the mtv hit parade, we hear very loud statements, we see very cool videos, but actually instead of an italian restaurant, then we go somewhere and eat pizza, that is, i would like to get even more, on the other hand we understand that our realities are quite difficult, and if, for example, we talk about specific bold decisions from president joseph biden, what could we hope for and what would we have the right to demand... taking into account the fact that the process is currently underway negotiations regarding signing a security agreement with america, and we understand that the key story is to fill

any agreement with very specific, real things, right? but we also understand that the war must be ended sooner with our victory, the key story is how to do it as soon as possible. at this stage, it is important for ukraine to insist that president biden clearly and publicly declare that the goal of the united states is the victory of ukraine, that is, not just avoiding defeat and not worrying about escalation from russia. speaking of president macron, in his infamous statement, he said that russia should not be humiliated. so, russia is humiliating itself, and we should not care if it is humiliated or not. russia can end its humiliation by returning to international law and ending the killing and destruction of ukrainian civilians. infrastructure of ukraine. russia is defeated on the battlefield, and thereby also humiliates itself. therefore , i believe that it is very important that all nato allies, as well as us allies in australia,

south korea, japan and other countries, clearly state that ukraine must win, and russia must lose, period. as for what could be included in the american ukrainian security agreement? i don't know what exactly is being discussed, but all this should be based on the fact that... ukraine should win and be able to permanently prevent russia from rebooting and attacking ukraine again. my former colleagues are now actively working on the details of this agreement. of course, i did not expect guarantees like article five, since ukraine is not yet a member of nato. but there will definitely be elements that will include providing advanced american weapons and permission to use them on russian territory, if necessary to stop. and deter further russian attacks, convinced that the security guarantee will also include certain military exercises. dear mr. ambassador, i agree with you, on the other hand, we understand that the key

story is the issue of terms, the terms of the end of the war with our victory, and we also understand that now the president of the united states, biden, is not in the best electoral situation, for my part, i wish him victories, he is predictable and decent a politician, on the other hand. we understand that there is also the team of president biden and there is also the team of one of the candidates donald trump. well, there may be a feeling that president joseph biden's team is getting ready to pass the baton to donald trump's team by saying, well, you said you know how to decide, well, in a few months, trump's team will be required to try to speed up our victory, how about you? that's the scenario and in general, if we're serious about timing, how long do you think it might take russian aggression against ukraine, or how quickly our victory is approaching, well,

because... the situation on the battlefield looks extremely difficult. the discussion about what will happen to us policy towards ukraine if trump comes to power is the opposite of what you are talking about. it is not that trump's team knows better how to end the war by ensuring victory for ukraine. no, the concern is the opposite. trump has said he will end the war in one day, which means he will pressure ukraine to she stopped hostilities. trump, most likely , will not support. the level of support provided to ukraine by the administration of president biden, even though the provision of weapons was postponed and there was a ban on the use of these weapons on the territory of russia, trump's instinct will push him to conclude an agreement with putin over the heads and behind the backs of not only leaders of ukraine, but also of all our european allies. trump's policy, america above all shows that he does not care about nato. he does not like our european allies and

went to the conference. with them as soon as he came to power, saying that nato was obsolete. when trump remained in power and the burden of responsibility of being not only the leader of the most powerful country in the world, but also of the most powerful military-political alliance fell on him, his behavior changed somewhat. he was the first president to offer javelin anti-tank missiles to ukraine. thank god he did, but his rhetoric suggests that he would again prefer to make a deal with his own.' which he admires so much vladimir putin, forcing ukraine to cease hostilities and give up its territory, which would ultimately be a complete geostrategic disaster for russia itself. i mean, this could lead to further conflict between russia and the west, in which russia will be completely defeated. thank you very much, mr. ambassador, for this extremely important conversation on the air of the tv channel, i want

to remind our tv viewers that i have been working for them now. matthew bryza, former adviser to the united states secretary of state, former director of affairs of europe and eurasia in the us national security council. thank you. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. every week , maria gurska meets with the head of the committee on foreign affairs of the polish sejm, pawel kowal, the representative of the polish government for the restoration of ukraine. as always, we talk about the most important things that happened this week in poland, ukraine, and europe. what do they say about ukraine in the eu?
