north korea may send its troops to war against ukraine, how will the world react? biden and trump are preparing for the first debates without spectators and prompters, and the national football team of ukraine... completed the performance at euro-2024 in germany without leaving the group. we are talking about this in detail today at svoboda life, not named serhiy stotsenko. north korea may send large-scale military construction and engineering forces to the occupied part of donetsk region as early as

july 2024 and that these forces will likely participate in reconstruction efforts. this was reported by the chosan tv network with reference to a south korean government official. according to their information, the military has 10 engineering brigades, and according to journalists' calculations, north korea could receive up to 115 million dollars in unspecified foreign currency every year from russia, if three or four engineering brigades arrived in the occupied territory of ukraine. pentagon spokesman maj. gen. patrick ryder said the u.s. would monitor the development and added that north korea should question its decision to send in forces that would become , quote, cannon. meat in russia's illegal invasion of ukraine, the american institute for the study of war in its latest the analyst stated that he has not yet seen any reports that indicated that the north korean military intends to participate in hostilities in ukraine. last week, moscow and pyongyang signed an agreement

that provides for mutual defense assistance in the event of an attack on one of the countries. russian president vladimir putin also said on june 20 that he does not rule out supplying weapons to north korea. on june 22 , the washington post reported that russia could receive about 1.6 million artillery shells from north korea, while pyongyang can supply russia with 5 million shells. is there a real threat in the potential sending of north korean troops to the occupied territories of ukraine and how it could affect the war in general. let's talk further. ambassador of ukraine to japan 2013-2020. years ihor kharchenko joins our program. i congratulate you. good day. well , not even a week has passed since putin's visit to pyongyang, and perhaps already the first probable results of this meeting. we can discuss today. does the information about the dispatch of these engineer-

like troops seem real in your opinion? now it's hard to say, only the information appeared, but one for something. the dictator went to another place, and many analysts believed that it was with this kind of help, and that is why they do not rule out such a possibility, well , there is no need to rule out such a possibility, it seems to me that the south korean services that monitor the situation in north korea, they are probably the most informed in the world about what is happening in the northern part. er of the korean peninsula, so any information from these sources should be treated with due care. mr. igor, how can you estimate in general, the military potential of north korea, there is information that they have about 1,300 thousand troops. again, if you

want to find a society that is the most closed in the world today, north korea is just that. the reliability of the information that appears from time to time about the potential of north korea is very difficult to evaluate it realistically, and... those who really evaluate it are unlikely to share this information in the public space, it is only our hope that the proper services respective countries, you referred to the spokesperson the pentagon, in particular in the introduction to this plot, that this information is located in these offices and is reliable. what can i say from my own experience, you mentioned that i worked in japan several times, during my time there, the military

alarm sirens that we here in ukraine hear every day, they sounded on the northern japanese island of hokkaido, when kimchen launched missiles through japanese, which fell not only into the sea of ​​japan, but even into the pacific ocean, that is, er, but if someone owns it very... strongly from the point from the point of view of national security, the situation with the capabilities of the north korean regime's military forces is unquestionable to japan, our biggest partner in this part of the world. ugh. is it possible from the messages that have just appeared, of course, they are still being discussed, are still being analyzed, but if this really happens, is it possible to formally and informally say that north korea. well , why are you afraid to call a spade a spade,

if, i think, there is no doubt from any international legal and other normal point of view that north korea has already entered the war when, according to our information, it started supplying the russian federation with ammunition and weapons even last year. and so on and the like, somewhere there was even information that including missiles, er, according to any international legal definition, this is actually help to the aggressor country, so don't have any sun, northern, as before things and belarus, giving its territory to carry out an act of aggression, this is already a participation in this aggression, so there is no need to go for some diplomatic language here, ask questions, you must call things clearly by their names, and belarus. and north korea are auxiliaries of the aggressor, that is, they participate in russia's aggressive war against ukraine

on the side of the aggressor. what do you think the consequences of this could be for north korea, is it about increased sanctions, it has already been under sanctions for years, would hanyang have any strengthening of them? i don't think that there are any sanctions in the world that could strengthen that sanctions regime. which is where north korea is because if to take the record holder for sanctions applied against any individual country, it will again be the north korean regime, so in terms of how it will affect the situation in north korea, actually, i don't think it can affect in any significant way, because there the situation and yes, they actually, north korea is, well, i mean the english expression clients state, that is... an enterprise of the people's republic of china, they depend on more than 90 percent

in almost all industries, precisely, precisely on china, what can this change from point of view the situation in which we find ourselves, that is , the repulsion of an aggressive war by russia, then i can very simply say that the transport routes by which armaments can be supplied from the northern... kyreya, that is, this is the entire territory of the russian federation, from the point of view again, normal military affairs become legitimate military goals for those who repel aggression, well, we will not specify who, but what are legitimate military goals is clear, and from the political point of view there is one very big question: i mentioned that the situation in north korea

is primarily economic, the rest depends a lot, to a large extent, on china, but how exactly can beijing react to such prospects, this is a big political question, and there are clear answers to it, well, i personally, for example, do not see it yet, mr. igor , wasn't... this action and putin's agreement with the dprk a kind of response, a reaction to those statements, in particular, of the french president. macron about the likely sending of french instructors to ukraine again, as you think, it is impossible, it can be considered so, because not there are so many countries left in this world when the kremlin leader can travel freely, but the first stop is, of course, his, as they say, his spiritual brother, kim the third, and

definitely one of the... constituent parts of this entire trip to north korea, there few people go there, let's not, very few people go there, it has already flowed politically in many capitals, i read that even american senators there are again proposing a resolution to recognize russia as ukraine, to support terrorism, this is from an economic point of view in my opinion, this is a very painful issue for the russian economy, but until now, already in the third year of a full-scale war, the american establishment has not approached this, but in this context, this statement, these threats, the military alliance of two dictators, in this politically, it can

play a certain role, and it seems to me that such a role cannot... not be liked by the main sponsor, as well as russia now, as well as traditionally north korea, it is the chinese people's republic, uh, yes, mr. igor, but is it possible, we can say that the information about the sending of these troops, of any kind, we do not know, may probably push the western countries towards and confirm them in the need to send some kind of contingent to ukraine as well, well, this is all hypothetical. you know, it's hard to say right now, it's hard to predict anything, again i go back to what i just said, the first reaction that i saw noticeable was that the military alliance of the two dictators prompted at least two republican senators and a democrat in the united states to withdraw again with

this proposal to recognize russia where. state and a sponsor of terrorism, let's hope that the european capital, well , will carefully look at the development of this situation, will draw the appropriate conclusions, and in the event that the north korean troops are still located on the territory of the occupied donbas or any other occupied russia on the territory of ukraine, is this a legitimate goal for the armed forces of ukraine, specifically the korean troops or their e? there are the pledges they brought, conventions, any armed military or non-military non-ukrainian belonging to the territory of ukraine is a legitimate military force, there is no doubt about it, whether it can or can in this case cause some kind of reaction from the dprk,

if they say that we sent no, well , probably there is some... auxiliary contingent, let's say, listen, we don't even have diplomatic relations with north korea, as far as i remember, it's a subject, well, a very specific subject of international relations, extremely specific, what's in the head of this kim ii only kim ii knows, but even then, i don't always think so, but now he has an opportunity to light up again, well, we'll see how it works out for him, but what... and once again what we started with, you have no doubt that north korea is already participating in this war, although just by supplying weapons and ammunition, to the aggressor, if it still sends manpower, as

the pentagon representative correctly said, cannon fodder, well, that's their choice. from the point of view of all canons of international law and the law of war, they are a legitimate target for polun troops. thank you, mr. igor, for your analysis, igor kharchenko, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine, ambassador of ukraine to japan from 2013 to 2020 was on radio svoboda. thank you. so, the biden -trap debate at four in the morning behind kyiv is expected to be a topic in... the country that will be actively featured in the televised duel of contenders for the next presidency in the united states. in particular, on the eve of the debate, donald trump's team specified trump's so-called peace plan, which... until the end of the war in ukraine, it specifically envisages a greater contribution from europe to help ukraine. even earlier , they said that trump could suspend aid to ukraine if kyiv refused

negotiations with moscow, and if russia refuses to negotiate, then trump plans to increase american aid to kyiv. joe biden, for his part, is in favor of helping and supporting ukraine for as long as it takes. how the debate went. biden and trump four years ago during the last presidential election and what interesting things will be the material of radio liberty correspondents this time. when was the last time these two saw each other? what will you let people know about the senators? he doesn't want to answer questions. i will not answer this question. one was the president in the first term? i did more in 47 months than you did in 47 years, joe. and the other a long-term politician. people need help. the 90-minute confrontation was full of chaos and interruption. you're going to screw up pelka, who's on your list, john. who's on

your list? this is so un-presidential. voa asked those who voted what they remember about the debate. god, it was a long time ago. i remember that trump was the best debater. apparently, trump used these very childish tricks, constantly interrupting him. so it was. the same political theater is expected on thursday, june 27 already this year, but it may be milder due to new rules. in these debates, the candidate's microphone will be muted until it is their turn to speak. candidates will not be able to use notes or prompter. trump and biden exit the stage. will receive a pen, a notebook and a bottle of water. there will be no live audience at the meetings. cnn took over the organization. for the first time since 1976, the debate will not be held

live, and for the first time in us history, none of the debaters has yet been nominated by their party at the convention. analysts predict that these debates will not change the opinion of voters who have already made up their minds. joe biden's supporters are going to reject his excuses or they are wrong. they will say the same to trump, yes, he's just trump, he speaks impromptu, take him seriously, not literally. it is predicted that the topic of this event is the question of the age of both candidates, because the bet of both candidates' election campaigns is precisely to question the adequacy of the opponent. biden will try to transform the question about his age into a statement about great experience. more than anyone who has ever run for president. trump has already made the border and immigration a central issue in his campaign. citing sources, cnn reported that trump's advisers and allies

are recommending that he focus on crime, the economy and inflation when criticizing biden. the candidates will have to speak about wars outside the borders of the states between israel and hamas, as well as about russia's attack on ukraine. debate will start at 90 pm. eastern time, it will be four in the morning in kyiv on june 28, and the us presidential election will be held on november 5 this year. olga armyanyshina, radio liberty. well, about the likely topics of the debate between biden and trump. how it will affect ukraine, we will talk further. the ambassador of ukraine to the usa from 2006 to 2010 joins our ether. oleg shamshur, i congratulate you. congratulations. mr. olezh, as for the debate itself, it is being held a little early because neither biden nor trump have yet become official candidates? indeed, in these

debates have a number of features, one of them is that this is really a debate that is held, i would say, too formally, but that's how its participants chose it. debates, and the second debate, which is usually even more important, will be scheduled , it seems, for september 12, that is, closer to the date of the election, and obviously this debate will also during this debate be taken into account those mistakes that are obviously its participants will enter ukraine tonight or tomorrow, so during these debates there will be certain innovations, paper will be banned, prompters, which used to be on such formats, will also turn off the microphone.

when the opponent will speak, not to be present, we showed in the previous story that the previous debate between biden and trump was quite, that is, they were very often present to each other, how do you think this can change the course of this debate? well, first of all , it should be noted that the bulk of the innovations meet the requirements of the biden team, regarding the microphone being turned off, but i am from the fact that... tav, surprisingly, most believe that this can be in favor of trump, because it will deprive him of the opportunity to interrupt, look aggressive, or at least reduce the opportunity to act in this way, and this, accordingly , can have a more positive effect on the audience regarding the perception of his personality, his

image. huh, do you think that the americans have already decided their sympathies, or are they just waiting for these two rounds of debate? and i would like to say that if you look at the history of the debates, it is, as the americans say , as american as an apple pie, that is, it is such a mandatory program of any presidential race, there were certain... moments that remembered, certain phrases, some debates really affected the outcome of the election, but in general, it is more so that the average american could see the candidates live, familiarize themselves with their programs, and accordingly, all this in real time

and... make or add to the impression he already has. it is difficult to say whether they have decided or not, i think that the base of support for both biden and trump has already been determined, but there is a large part of the voters that will still be determined, first of all, it is about independent voters, who obviously and will determine election results, and first of all , we must look very carefully at the so-called changing swing states, that is, changing states where there is no traditional advantage of republicans over democrats, and it is generally accepted that it is the voting results here, that is, we are talking about several hundred thousand voters and will determine the results on november 5 of this year, ugh, how

should ukraine react to these debates. and is it worth it in your opinion, will the ukrainians keep an eye on them? well, you have to react calmly, because we somehow influence the debate we can't, well, in principle, the american public can't either, except that it can, depending on how the questions will be formulated, how cnn journalists will moderate the discussion. we should follow this carefully, it is clear that 90, probably 8% of ukrainians will not watch this debate, because it is, if i am not mistaken, four o'clock in the morning, even if there is an air alarm, it is unlikely that they will watch the debate, but it is necessary to follow this carefully, because obviously topics related to foreign policy will also be raised there. it

it is not just interesting for us, it is important, but we must understand that this is a debate, let's say, her opinion and position can be modified, but in principle, well, the basis of this position, if there are such questions, will be declared during this debate, that is, it must watch closely, watch the next day, probably youtube, who cares, or watch and read the comments, and... mr. leger, how can you comment on the so-called peace plan of trump, because we know the position of the current president of the united states, joe biden, he said that it is necessary to support ukraine to victory until the end, trump's position has changed several times, and the last one is a peace plan, if kyiv, they say, does not agree to negotiations with moscow, then aid can be suspended, first of all, well...
