the presence of the americans, even more so, the readiness to defend their european allies, and in such a situation, the europeans really need to think about a deterrence system, about a new strategy, because now it is based in fact on the nuclear powers of the united states, which are strategic, let's say, nations, these are tactical nuclear weapons, which are located in four european countries, plus turkey, these are atomic bombs. well , britain is also an important factor, as it is ready to use its nuclear triad, protecting their allies in europe, but france, their actual doctrine, it does not allow france to be part of this pan-european, pan-nato strategy, but i think they will reconsider this approach, because it is clear that if there are no americans, then they themselves the brits will definitely not pull out nuclear deterrence on themselves, because rosi... the federation is, one might

say, a superpower in the nuclear dimension. they have the same number of strategic warheads and nations as the united states, but in terms of tactical nuclear weapons, they have much more than the americans, because the americans have non-nuclear means that are equal in their effectiveness to nuclear ones. therefore, of course, this discussion has already started, so far there are no concrete solutions, and by and large there is no need for it yet. to review the nato doctrine, the british doctrine, because the number of weapon carriers, the weapons themselves, is enough to reliably deter the russian federation, here, but of course the future must be planned, because the nuclear arsenal is such a thing, which requires not only a good strategy but a lot of investment, and it is clear that britain is no longer the british empire and they have their own internal problems, we see how they will be outwitted in this election. i understood that

it is necessary to invest in perspective and understand the future 10-15 years ahead. another, by the way, no less interesting event for the world community: the president of poland, andrzej duda, arrived in china for a meeting with xi jinping, it is announced that there will be various topics, one of the topics is, of course, russia's war against ukraine, this is the security situation , in general in europe, and here... the question arises, why exactly now and why the president of poland andrzej duda? we understand that china is still informally trying to support the occupying powers of russia, and we understand that now the european union, including making rather strict demands on china, if we mention the latter, it is, for example, the same taxation of chinese cars, which is not

taxation, but duties on chinese cars, what does this visit mean, why is it happening now and can it not be assumed that andrzej duda to a certain extent represents, relatively speaking, a united europe during this visit? well, no, he does not represent the united europe, but he is one of the voices and one of the visitors to beijing from europe who are actually trying to convince the chinese that it is in... their own interests to influence their junior partner, the russian federation, for this war to stop, because the cooperation of china and the russian federation, they worsen the general, general atmosphere of relations with europe and with the united states, and europe and the united states are forced to introduce sanctions, restrictions and reduce its dependence on china, vice chancellor germany was there just a few days ago. the minister

of economy, of course, he also talked about german affairs and, first of all, the competition that china poses in automobile and construction, you rightly said that one of the hot topics now is chinese cars, electric cars, which are supported, manufacturers are supported by the state of china, and in therefore, they actually, let's say, have a competitive advantage over european ones in general and german ones in particular, but it is clear that the vice vice-chancellor also talked about ukraine, and that the russian war and support for china is an irritant that reduces, let's say, the prospects for cooperation with china, i think that the polish representative will say the same, there will be bilateral question, because of course china is a big market, everyone needs resources, everyone needs markets, cheap goods are needed.

chinese, yes, but it is clear that ukraine will also occupy an important place among foreign policy issues. the only thing is that i do not absolutely do not believe that china can agree to any. concessions, because from a strategic point of view, it is beneficial for them to support russia, to have cheap energy resources from there and access to the russian market, and in fact they became champions, i.e. the first place in sales of electric cars, they got it not only by dumping on european markets, but actually by capturing the russian market. i am not talking about such strategic projects, about the fact that the chinese still want to receive certain military technologies from the russian federation, well... the most important thing is that while this war is going on, from our american european partners is dispersing the resources that they could concentrate in order to contain china in the indo-pacific region, and it is clear from china's strategic point of view that it is not beneficial for this

war to end as soon as possible, especially if it does not end with a victory for russia, or not in such a way, not on such conditions that satisfy russia, because a parallel can still be drawn here. the chinese look at the reaction of the west, at the support that it gives us, at its political, let's say, consolidation and long will, and of course they plan to do something similar with taiwan, because taiwan is a sensitive topic for the chinese, and it is clear that they, in fact , the entire nation, especially the chinese communist party , is preparing to return the rebellious province, which, by the way, never. was not part of communist china in the ranks of this communist china, and this question is yes, mr. alexander, unfortunately, we are a little pressed for time, i sincerely thank you for your thoughts, for your expert assessment, oleksandr khara,

expert on foreign affairs and of security policy, center of defense strategies, was live broadcast of the new week, and we are now joined by maria. people's deputy of ukraine, deputy chairman of the verkhovna rada committee on ukraine's integration with the european union, head of the permanent delegation of ukraine to the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe. mrs. maria, good evening, i wish you health, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. mrs. maria, i will probably start with the pariere and with the resolution that we were expecting tonight. while we started on the air with martial topics, we would like to ask if you approve. she is still, and let me remind you that this is a resolution that somehow has to record the results of the peace summit that took place recently, well, we have a lot of resolutions that concern ukraine, let's clarify which of them we are talking about,

probably this is a resolution that concerns legal , legal aspects of russia's aggression against ukraine, where it is divided into several blocs. we are talking about the real peace plan of the president, of course we are talking about the initiative of the special tribunal for the crime of aggression, which has already reached the level of the executive branch of power, and this is a working group of 40 countries, which includes not only the countries of the council of europe, but also, for example, the big seven, these are partners who discuss at a very inter-technical, international-legal level. next steps, and in one of this resolution on the tribune, on the issue of russian aggression, in the section on the special tribunal, we are looking for new proposals, for example, how to bring to justice the so-called troika, that is

the illegitimate president putin, the minister of foreign affairs and the minister of defense of the russian federation , and we offer these legal instruments in the text of the resolution, meetings are currently taking place committees, i am sure they support this proposal, we also have such a novel on the status of russia as a sponsor of terrorism, we know that different legal systems interpret it differently, the parie already adopted a resolution in which we called russia a terrorist state, well, more here specifics in the same legal form as, for example, our american partners have. in addition, we will talk about the wagner group and its illegal activities, although its leader seems to have already died, and by the way, exactly one year has passed since the failed coup, and the march on the kremlin, and we also mention it in the text, and

not only that, a lot of things happened today, you can see on the screen - with a brooch, by the way, presented on behalf of. to the general secretary of our delegation, maria plečevich burych, this is a yellow-blue bird, which she wears at all meetings, her term is dobi. the end, we will have the first round of elections for the secretary general tomorrow, this is a rather high position, the secretary general of the council of europe, a mandate for 5 years, it can be compared, probably at the eu level, with ursula funderlaen, that is, it is such an executive branch the government, very respectable and powerful, which takes care of all directions, for example, in its mandate, panichovych-burich supported us and within the framework of the creation of a special tribune. and a very important practical tool for ukrainians, which is already in use, this is a compensatory

mechanism, literally 20 minutes ago our meeting ended, let us remind you that maria mezyntseva, people's deputy of ukraine, deputy head of the verkhovna rada committee on of ukraine's integration with the european union, head of the permanent delegation of ukraine to the upr, and that's about it we are now talking about the events in pary. and i would like to talk, including about the historic day that tomorrow is one of the historic days for ours, i would like to understand whether this is the start or some nominal event, purely ceremonial, this is an important question that we definitely plan to ask ms. maria, and regarding the parie, the summer plenary session of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, of course, i will emphasize once again in the focus of the pros and cons. issues related to russia's aggression against ukraine, we will also talk about democracy in georgia,

what is happening with her, and the secretary general of the council of europe must be elected, and we are very grateful to the current secretary general, for all the support to ukraine, and we will ask ms. maria, what are the prospects of the candidates and who are the candidates now for the new secretary general of the council of europe? and incredible candidates, these are three men, and you know, we are now at a meeting of a political group, we joked, there was this question, and what should they do, what maybe, maybe they have flaws, and we joked, because today is international women's day in diplomacy, their the drawback is that they are not women, well, it is as if, jokingly, but seriously, all three have very serious profiles. candidates, they passed preliminary selections, this is the final three, the former president of the swiss

confederation, the current, well, already completing his mandate, the european commissioner, that is, the eu minister, in the field of justice, and our former colleague poparieu, a member of the estonian delegation, former minister of culture and sports of estonia, that is, all three personnel are important, interesting with... their own victories in professional life, and the ukrainian delegation will vote for the one who will win, in principle, we continue consultations, i am sure that this is an important election, and i think that they will have two rounds, if very briefly. and mrs. maria, i wanted to talk with you about another historical event, or one of the historical events for our country, which will actually begin tomorrow, june 25. negotiations between ukraine, the european union, and moldova regarding accession to the european union. still,

if we talk about this historical context, is it actually a more formal date, or is it, relatively speaking, really the beginning of that path difficult, perhaps, which we will have to overcome in the next few years, and the second question, in your opinion, is how long will it take us to achieve this goal, for which many millions have fought, and many millions of our citizens are now fighting for , accession to the european union. yes, you are right, it is the defense forces on the battlefield that will choose our european integration, and without them , tomorrow is an extension, so a huge thank you to them, and the european union made a huge exception. and began to directly support our peace facility through a special program

defense forces, regarding and timing, there are political cycles, i have already commented on this in the meeting, i hope that in a five-year period, ukraine will be able to complete its homework, which is a difficult 35 sections of technical documentation in completely different directions of our daily life and maybe. it will happen that we will be able to run for the next cycle of elections in the 29th year, we have public support, some regions show a higher number. more than 90%, let me remind you, in the early 2000s, some did not even understand what european integration meant, today, when our communities and territories suffer from daily shelling, receive support in the field of energy, financial support, let's not forget the support project of 50 billion euros until the 27th financial year, and

very, very many preferences for education, medicine, daily life of ukrainians , this is practically... things about which we should do educational campaigns, we are engaged in this in the working group under the council of regions under the president of ukraine, so that ukrainians know how to use these preferences, and we did not just vote laws in the verkhovna rada, which receive a constitutional majority, that is , it is very important how they are practically implemented, ms. maria, well, we understand what preferences membership in the european union gives, at the same time, we understand that each of the members is... fighting for their own interests, and sometimes, as an example of our agricultural crisis with our neighbors, we can see that these battles can be extremely bright, how can we, well, you know, find a middle ground, still go to the eu and remain on the defense

of our own interests, without delaying time to... your introduction and since we still have a meeting scheduled now, if you'll allow me, i'll give a short answer, direct to it, see, everything is simple and difficult at the same time, our products have become extremely competitive, it's not just raw materials, it's added value and the product that we are implementing already with the standards of gis, some experts have calculated how many subsidies, how many mi and not everyone likes it, that is, it is a matter of competition, but ukraine also does not like it when partners violate international agreements that were signed even before the beginning of the invasion, when we sought justice for 90 years, talking about the recognition of the holodomor as an act of genocide, when we saw how

our grain simply fell out of the not... tank, sorry, i will concentrate now, from cars and trucks, which, despite the mining of 30% of the territory of ukraine , our agrarians collect with overwhelming forces and try to implement, well, it was a political ugly game, which was organized by a small group of politicians, and they are not supported by the majority of the population , our friends. from poland, we need to work with politicians and people, and counter disinformation. let me remind you that 95% of ukrainian grain exports went through transit, only 5% remained with our friends in poland, for example, and there are other figures that we should talk about, well, more loudly on international forums.

tomorrow i will talk to the polish, to your polish colleagues. thank you for your thoughts and inclusion, maria mezyntseva, people's deputy of ukraine, deputy chairman of the verkhovna rada committee on integration of ukraine with the european union, chairman of the permanent delegation of ukraine to parliamentary assembly of the council of europe. well, we remind you that today we are asking you whether you believe that ukraine will join the eu within 10 years, if you believe, then please call for free on 0800 211 380. if you do not have any hopes for this, then call for free to the number 0800 211 382. i can already see from the chat of our broadcast that the opinions of ukrainians are very popular, some of them question in general the form in which the european union will exist at the time of our actual entry into it, because

the aggression of the russian federation and the victory of ukraine, which is most important, absolutely. is not yet a fait accompli, one must understand that anything can happen, especially when the political swings in countries, our key partners and players are involved, well, someone believes that we are not working enough internally and not doing enough to to join the eu and to be closer than we are now, by the way, there is another topic, it is that the russians are also helping us. the first tranche of 2.5 billion euros from revenues from frozen state assets occupier, said the chief diplomat of

the european union, josep borel. let us hear what he said. we have these revenues from frozen assets, we have to find a way to use them, avoiding any blocking. we have a process in place to make this work quickly. the first tranche of money. coming next week in july, the second one in a few months, this money can't be stuck, it should be used, we have a legal process, uh, and that's actually a lot of progress, so, so two years, uh, we 've been talking about it, two years, we are in this, we emphasized this, for two years our international partners, our closest states and friends were among them. who said: ukraine needs to hand over russian assets that are frozen in the united states, in the european union, and what we

're seeing now is actually a big breakthrough, it's cooler, i think it's cooler, because yes, unfortunately, two years is a long time, but during these two years the democracy of the world managed to find an extremely successful solution that excludes any... russian or chinese or whatever arguments for the topic that the whole west is dead, democracy is dead, there is no respect for property now, if you excuse me, you can just take it from russia and give it to ukraine, even though it is a victim, then this undermines the principles and foundations on which the entire civilized western world functions the world, and this form that you have found, to actually freeze a... to have interest, to have profit from these bewitched assets, and to give the profit to ukraine in order for it to defend itself against putin and his russians, it

seems to me is a very successful decision, when democracy refutes any, well, let's say yes, the triggers are against her, and on the other hand , ukraine gets what it needs, in fact, we will now fight and live on putin's money against putin. with regard to the european union and its accession, we can also say here that we should not indulge ourselves with illusions that it will happen today or at the end of the year or in a year, because in fact we observe that many ukrainians for some reason think that this process, if we become candidates, then accordingly we must enter there or this year or the next, we must understand that a long process awaits us, that the process awaits us. reforms, that we need to change, including that we need to discuss with the european union, explain our position, by the way, and defend

our position as well, but i also emphasize once again, reform, unify our legislation, make sure that we met the criteria, including the anti-corruption ones, and we will talk about this in the next part of our program, but now the interim results. the survey that we are conducting with you today: do you believe that ukraine will join the european union for 10 years, i see that the majority of those who call us are optimistic, 72% of our viewers and listeners believe that we have such a chance, and 28% are more pessimistic, maybe realistically, i don't know who, but they believe that no, even in 10 years we... will not become a member of the european union, these are interim results, and we still ask you to participate in this survey, in the second part, in

a conversation with andrii smoly, we will try to talk about the most controversial in ukrainian the society of the topics of the last days with a projection on new week (the new week is exactly what our program is called), mom, i... threw up and i'm sick, the heat is always just to get poisoned. in case of intoxication , dehydration may occur, and it is important to restore the water and electrolyte balance. when ordinary water is not enough, i recommend reo to adults and children. we will save ourselves with reo water. reo saves. reo - water for special medical purposes. vasyl zima's broadcast, my name is vasyl zima, this is a big broadcast on the espresso tv channel, two hours of air time, two hours of your time, i am colleagues, we will talk about most importantly, two hours to learn about
