in the european championship, the austrian national team stopped, perhaps somewhat unexpectedly, after such a confident result in its group. ralf rangnik's team lost to the turkish national team. the turks took the lead in the second minute of the match after a goal by merich demiral. the goal was scored by a corner kick. the austrians squandered a chance to regain the lead when veteran austrian forward marko arnautovic failed to beat mert gunock. at the beginning of the second half, the turks scored for the second time, demiral scored a double, although not long after the austrians closed the gap with the efforts of michael gregorich. rangnik's wards continued to attack, in the last moments of the match the hero of the turks was once again the goalkeeper. he saved his team after a close shot by baumgartner. so turkey is in the quarter-finals, austria is going home. and also the day before in... the last team

of the quartet in which the national team of ukraine played, the national team of romania, yesterday suffered a crushing defeat in the playoff match against the national team of the netherlands. kryvniki of the national team of ukraine started with a good moment, denis man shot above the goal, but in the 20th minute of the match ronald koeman's wards opened the scoring. cody gakpo moved from the wing and hit the goal with a powerful shot into the near corner. in the second. in the half, huck assisted, daniel malen doubled the advantage of the netherlands from his transfer, he had to aim at an empty net. compensated by the referee, malyn scored a double after his own solo pass. it is quite difficult, it is possible to understand, but for the dutch national team it is the first in 16 quarter-finals of the european championship. we remember, the dutch played in the final of the world cup, where spain conceded, so...

they haven't played in the quarter-finals of the european championship for a long time, so all the quarter-final pairs have been formed, on july 5, that is, on friday, the hosts of the championship, the germans , will meet the spaniards in stuttgart , this match is definitely worth the final, and it's a shame that the grid is formed like this, spain, germany, a match that could become the color of the whole tournament at such an early stage, and also on friday. in hamburg for the ticket to the semi-finals will be contested between portugal and france, another great match, at least according to the report. two more matches are scheduled for july 6, on saturday in düsseldorf, england will play against switzerland, here you do not know exactly what to expect after the performance of the swiss, who knocked out the reigning european champions italy from the tournament, and england, we remember how with what nerves, with what efforts slovakia passed, and with very such gestures. jude burlingham's inexplicable

looks after scoring a goal. in another match also on saturday in berlin, the netherlands will face the national team of turkey. well, really, i'll just add, you're watching four teams, portugal, france, it's like a repeat of the 2016 euro final. well, even many of the same performers remained, spain, and spain-germany. well, i don't know how it was formed there, but honestly, i want to stretch the pleasure. well, but i know, maybe. switzerland, relatively speaking, will knock out its england there, yes, for example, well, we don't know, but just like that, now we actually already see the finals and semi-finals in this, well, in one part of this grid, in another part, well, there there will be our own battles, we will follow, we will definitely inform you about the events of these matches, then we will move on to another topic, although also about football, the olympic games are approaching and today the head coach of the olympic football team of ukraine, ruslan rotan announced... an expanded lineup

of those performers who will be preparing for performances at the olympics. the team was formed by 22 footballers, 18 of whom will be included in the main application, which is already final, according to the age quota, two footballers will go to the olympics, these are the older ones: the 24-year-old central defender maksym talavirov and 23-year-old midfielder dmytro kryskiv. the full list of performers is now on your screens, i'll just say. that shakhtar got the most representation in this list with five football players. on july 7 , the olympic team of ukraine will go to france, where, as part of the preparations for the games , it will play two friendly matches against egypt on july 14 and against paraguay on july 18. let me remind you that at the games, the ukrainian national team will play in group b together with argentina, morocco and iraq. blue and yellow will play their matches on july 24, 27 and 30. and about football: kyiv dynamo

continues an active transfer campaign, the ranks of the white and blue team were replenished today, by the way, by ruslana rotanya valentyn, the olympic team member of the team. rubchinsky. the agreement is designed for the next four years. the 22-year-old football player is a pupil of the dnipro academy, or the old dnipro that we remember and love. and over the last two seasons in dnipro 1. rubchinsky played 72 matches in all tournaments, scored three goals and provided nine assists. also, as i said, rubchynskyi is a player of the olympic team of ukraine, so we believe hope for him in france. he became the fourth rookie of kyiv this year. earlier, dynamo signed two ukrainian players, oleksandr pykhalonka and maksym bragara, and also took the colombian defender brian ceballos on loan. and then let's talk about tennis. on wednesday, a number of ukrainian tennis players

played their matches at the wimbledon tournament. there are both victories and defeats here, so read more about each of our compatriots below. elina svitolina in super heavy protesto. won the victory over polka magda linnet. despite the injury, elina was stronger was stronger in the three-set confrontation 75-67-63. the rivals spent two hours and 40 minutes on the court. the ukrainian needed a medical examination. daria snigur won her debut match in the main part of wimboldon. the 22-year-old tennis player beat the frenchwoman ocean-dodin. the match lasted two sets. 4:6:0 in the second round, snigur will meet the famous latvian athlete jelena ostapenko, who is the 13th ranked player in the world. but angelina kalinina finished her performances at the british major, the ex-first racket of ukraine in the match

in the first round of the competition, unfortunately, she lost to the neutral elina avanesyan, the 77th ranked player in the world. the score of the meeting is 26-36. kalinin was eliminated for the first time in her career after. in the first round of wimbledon. and this day turned out to be unsuccessful for kateryna bayndel as well. at the start of the tournament, our compatriot lost to germany's laura siegemund. the game lasted two games 4-6-1-6. in the current season, beindel remains without victories in grass tournaments. this is the end of the sports column. i will say goodbye to you until friday. then a big broadcast on sprass of course it will continue and in a moment vasyl winter will continue it. thank you very much to yevhen pastukhov, well, i will once again call to finish

this collection, to close it, we were able to collect, you were able to collect more than 200 hryvnias during the time while yevhen was talking about the news. we have 618.5, we need to collect 630, so that our soldiers fighting in the solodarsk and zaporizhzhia directions could buy a minibus to transport mobile repair groups to the conflict line or to the gray zone where it is necessary to urgently repair, put in order, as it were they say to start armored vehicles, we are talking about tanks, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, of course, and also to deliver hydraulic jacks for repairing foreign equipment, which is supplied... to the defense forces, to the armed forces of ukraine, and for this minibus you need to collect 630 , hryvnias, and you are really great guys, we are in two less than two weeks, but since last monday we have already collected 118,000, we are moving very quickly, and i think that it is possible that

states, in death valley, it is an intermountain depression in the states of california and nevada. somewhere up to +56°c. terrible. almost all are represented in north america. e-e climatic zones except for the equatorial type of climate, most of them are located in the temperate climate belts, well, of course, significant areas in the north are occupied by cold, subarctic belts. and arctic, well, actually, alaska lies in the subarctic and arctic climatic zones or belts, the southern part of florida and hawaii in the tropical zone, in the north of the pacific coast a temperate climate with cool summers and warm winters without constant snow. the southern part of the pacific coast has a mediterranean climate - it is familiar to us, well, in principle, we have subtropics, for example, in the south of crimea. southern part. rather, the climate of the atlantic coast is continental and cool summers, warm winters

and also snow, in the mountains and mountains there is a continental climate, warm summers, cold winters, permanent snow cover, cordilleras extreme climatic conditions, very cold winters and very warm summers, well in the usa has deserts and mountains, and as i said, practically all climate zones are represented, except for the equatorial one, we will study, as always , the climate and land of all countries, and each country in particular, it is incredibly always interesting, and it can be done almost endlessly , we let's move on to the whole earth, that is , we will talk about its magnetic behavior and tomorrow is expected the next night, well, such a tangible, tangible, tangible activation, so please listen to yourself, to your well-being, i warn you. well, actually the weather, the weather is very diverse, so we start from the western regions, it will be

the coolest there, and short-term rains and thunderstorms, somewhere 20-24°, in places 18-20, well, rain +19, of course, tourists are not very satisfied, but at least it's not 38. in the north, in the north there is a variety of weather, in zhytomyr oblast it's cooler, it will be hot again tomorrow in kyiv region, and 33-34° in chernihiv region and sumy region. above zero. in the zhytomyr and kyiv regions tomorrow there is a chance of short-term rain with a thunderstorm. in the east of ukraine, the weather conditions are difficult. strong heat 33-38° above zero. sunny, dry, high fire danger. in the central part of ukraine, in the vinnytsia region , the weather will be kinder, so to speak, but finally , the central territory will be very hot at 32-37° above zero. in the southern part of ukraine, it is also dry, hot, 30-35, in places up to +37°,

high fire danger, and in kyiv tomorrow it will not be 38, but it will still be hot, about +30°, but there is a possibility of short-term rain with a thunderstorm tomorrow in the capital. this is the nearest synoptic perspective, very heterogeneous, colorful, it is not easy to make a weather forecast now, so we carefully and together monitor any changes and clarifications. weather forecasts on the espresso channel. good evening, we are from ukraine. glory to ukraine, dear tv viewers, on espresso tv channel, west studio program. we will analyze the most important events of this week and, of course, we will try to predict what the following weeks will bring us. today's guests of the zahid studio are the legendary american general wes. clark and the iconic political scientist based in washington, andriy pionkovskyi.

the legendary american general wesley clark, ex-commander of the contingent of the euro-atlantic alliance on the european continent, will now be on the espresso tv channel. greetings, dear mr. general clark, and thank you for the opportunity and the honor of speaking with you. the key story is the scenario of the subsequent war. we are in ukraine experienced extremely unpleasant, not just disturbing, or... unpleasant feelings, when several months were given for putin, when we are talking about the delivery of american large-scale aid, for six months we in ukraine felt that everything could end badly for us, but now there is a feeling , that the war acquires new additional dimensions, i would ask you to describe them now. it is very good that ukraine is finally receiving weapons from the west, and i am very happy with the support. on the part of the united states, despite the six-month delay and the misunderstanding in congress, however, it is very important that

for ukraine to define its concept of victory and use this concept in order to be guided by it in its demands. it is not necessary to do this publicly, but there should be a clear plan for what this weapon is needed for. without a plan, people will say, well, the front has stabilized, there is nothing left. except to defend and despair, but this cannot be allowed. in 1940 , british troops were pushed out of the european continent. it took them four years to cross the english channel with american help, enter france and free her important geostrategic initiatives do not happen in a couple of months. it is not simply a matter of two more batteries or artillery battalions. or hundreds of thousands of 155 mm shells. although everything is necessary for defense. you need a concept of victory,

without which it will be difficult for your supporters in the west to formulate their demands. supplies and reinforcements, so the point is to develop a concept of victory. dear mr. general, we understand that the concept of our victory, the formula of our victory and the scenario of further war depends on resources, and resources depend on specific political will, including president joseph biden. and we understand that some things in the white house were put on hold, just because putin threatened, perhaps, the use of tactical nuclear. weapons, maybe putin threatened something else, but we see that putin is inadequate, that is, the very beginning of the war demonstrated putin's inadequacy and all the atrocities that accompanied this war, when we talk, in particular, about the shelling of our peaceful cities, well, accordingly, there are in you the feeling, when we talk, for example, about tactical aviation, yes f16, which should

arrive this summer, that there will be enough of them , and how will the states behave... if putin really dares to use tactical nuclear weapons, because this is all very, very serious. you asked two questions: first, about the f-16. it is related to the following question: how many f-16 can be considered a sufficient number? do you need 15, 50 or 500 of these fighters? it depends on your concept of winning. what is missing at least. public dialogue, although i do not know what is being said behind the scenes, is the concept of victory. what it is? this concept forms the basis for deciding the adequacy or inadequacy of the military supplies you receive. as for the united states, you have very strong popular support, reflecting both your determination to fight for

your independence and democracy, and the willingness of americans to support those who fight for freedom. this strong sympathy spans both political parties. if putin decides to use nuclear weapons, the united states will have to respond appropriately. although i don't know what that answer will be. i hope the us has an adequate military response package as well. this war will end when putin realizes that he cannot win and cannot hold a part. ukraine, which he claims is part of russia. this is how this war should end. we often hear that it should end with a diplomatic settlement, because all wars usually end with some kind of written agreement, but the question is what will form the basis of this agreement? the basis for it should be

the results of the ukrainian concept of ousting the russians, the demands that this concept generates. and the determination of their implementation in the process of implementing the plan, as soon as it starts to happen, i think that putin can be overcome, and i am sure that he will definitely not resort to a nuclear scenario. i ask you about this for a reason, because at one time you restrained not only serbian aggression in the balkans, you also restrained russian aggression in the balkans, you were among those people who were not afraid to bring the situation out to the level or, or. yes, we remember this case very well in ukraine, yes, and you managed to stop the crimes of the serbian fascists who were under the arms of milosevic, but on the other hand, there were no nuclear weapons involved, if we talk about the seriousness of putin's intentions, as you think how far everything can go and whether you feel the readiness of the euro-atlantic community to fulfill

its obligations if, for example, putin starts one or another form of aggression. against one or another nato member state, be it estonia, be it lithuania, be it poland. conflicts can be ended in two ways, one of them is to achieve a dominant escalation. when your adversary recognizes the hopelessness of his position and surrenders, that's how we fought the serbs in 1999. milosevic was a rational man, but he was also somewhat... exhausted by five years of war. his resources also went to zero after he faced multiple pressures. milosevic agreed. mistakes in trying to end kosovo. he hoped that nato's position would be influenced by the fact that kosovo was part of serbia. however, taking it upon himself

specific obligations, the alliance could no longer retreat. milosevic misinterpreted the political calculation at the highest level in nato. we then started with airstrikes, which could develop into a ground invasion of kosovo and possibly serbia. as soon as milos. understood this, he compromised and withdrew his troops. the situation in ukraine is distinguished by a nuclear component, however, this trump card is in the hands of not only russia, because the usa, france and great britain also have nuclear weapons. waving the nuclear card, putin must recognize nuclear the other side's potential, if he says he wants to go all the way, he should remember what happened to adolf. let's not be satisfied with putin's fantastic idea that he is ready to go to war, sacrificing his mother russia. putin, like

any leader who leads a war, wants to win and is willing to sacrifice his forces, but only to a certain extent. even hitler in 1945 was looking for a way out, hoping to save germany. he wasn't ready. to fight to the end until that end became a reality for him. so putin must understand that there is no reason to continue this war. they weren't there from the beginning. ukraine has never been a military threat to russia. the people of ukraine simply wanted to be able to choose their own path. if putin had a clear head and understood schedule 21. ukraine and russia would have been partners today, instead he chose a false path based on false history and the appeal of russian

imperialism, which has no place in the 21st century. nato leaders understand this well, and that is why they are meeting for the 75th time this year anniversary of the alliance. democratic countries have never been in a hurry. even in kosovo , the conflict lasted for years. before nato began to act. in the case of ukraine, a full-scale war has been going on for more than two years, and the west continues to watch the action. but this is no reason for putin to believe that the west is tired. the heroism of the ukrainian people, their incredible technological competence, innovativeness and determination to set their own course in europe. as an independent state and democracy, are admired by the whole world and the west, however, the burden of navigating the path to success rests

primarily on the shoulders of ukraine. this means that ukraine needs a concept of victory, it is about both a military concept and a political concept that would determine certain requirements. this concept should be approved and supported by western partners. in order to ensure compliance with these requirements. dear mr. general clark, we understand that this war is not just a war. putin describes it as an existential war, right? just a couple of weeks ago, when putin had the opportunity to remain silent, no, he rolled publicly ultimatum, when he said that there can be no talks about anything and began to demand the withdrawal of our ukrainian troops from our ukrainian territories. it. putin's position, and we understand that they are heating up this notion of an existential war, and we understand that putin is ready to pay his price, at the same time, on the other hand, we understand that the russian army

has not shown anything except the willingness to sacrifice its soldiers, that is, nothing particularly new they not offered on the battlefield, and when we talk about the peace formula, i completely agree with you, there should be resource-confirmed clear position. west, and if we talk about military goals, what do you think putin would like to achieve, because it is not for nothing that he met with the north korean dictator kim jong-un, so putin begins to hysterically look for countries where he can add gasoline to the fire. by addressing north korea, china and iran, putin is making a huge mistake. this coalition will only repel even more. west, but also internationalizes ukraine's struggle to repel russian aggression, stimulating western countries to provide even more aid to ukraine, this is a big

mistake on his part. ukraine must do what it must. when british troops were pushed out of france in 1940, prime minister churchill made an incredible statement. he said: we will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them on the farms. we will never, never, never give up. it was british determination. churchill did not have an american ally at the time, as america was not yet at war. these were scary times for britain. the country was bombed, and its fighters were not enough, to prevent airstrikes. many historical parallels can be drawn. this is a historic moment for the truth of the ukrainian state. this is a test of weapons, and this struggle can

make ukraine powerful and. a leading state on the world stage. dear mr. general, we understand that the current situation can change rapidly in the fall. there's going to be an election in the united states, right? and we don't know in ukraine, to be honest, what to expect from donald trump, right? we don't know what to expect from his team either, but in any case he gives very different signals, and these signals sometimes frighten me because they are too primitive, that is, if you believe the former advisers of trump, yes, who... spoke today about the way in which trump would conduct certain negotiations with kyiv and with moscow, this is it it is disturbing, in fact, we understand that putin and in the kremlin, putin's analysts, are counting on certain events this fall, and we in ukraine are extremely worried about this. before turning to the political situation in the united states, i want to say something to the ukrainian soldiers and their families. a lot of

we in the west are watching what is happening in ukraine, and our hearts are with you. we greatly admire your courage and what you are doing. we understand what it's like to be in the dark, the cold, the dirt. we 've been through it too, not in your circumstances and not in these realities, but we know how hard it is for you. our hearts beat in time with yours. we admire your dedication, patriotism and self-sacrifice. i also want to say that those of us in the west who follow the war closely admire the flexibility and the speed of reaction to the invasion in the kharkiv area, which was demonstrated by general sirskyi and the leadership of ukraine. russia hoped that it would be able to break through and capture kharkiv, but the lightning reaction, powerful leadership, as well as the self-sacrifice of the soldiers, prevented this from happening. winning a war requires good leadership at the highest level, as

well as strong will and determination at ... all levels, in my opinion, the flexibility shown in the response to the invasions of kharkiv and sumy shows a good top management as for the us presidential election, we cannot predict what the outcome will be. the fight will be fierce, because everything depends on how many americans vote. it is important that the issue of foreign policy during the election campaign is not given much attention. usually the focus is on internal issues. such as the price of petrol, inflation, the cost of food and the unemployment rate, meaning there is a lot of talk about the day-to-day stuff rather than the complicated matter of foreign policy. when trump is talking about what he is going to do in ukraine, i think he is expecting support from putin in this way. he wants more help from russia to win elections. however, my friends from the republican party strongly support

ukraine and have no intention of doing so. to give up his position if trump is elected president, so you should not worry about his statements, you just need to understand who he is addressing when he delivers his speeches. in 2016, during a debate with hillary clinton, or during one of his speeches, trump said: "russia, if you hear me, he knows that russia played an important role in him becoming president, and so he wants to get again." her support. the skill and character of ukraine itself will determine the further development of events. if president zelenskyi and others say that they are not going to negotiate or give up their territory, then it will be so. there is no way trump will be able to force you to do this. that's why i wouldn't worry so much about our election. in return, as much as possible, focus on

building up your strength. even in preparation for next winter.
