from moldova should not be, if this will be the position of, well, possible president trump, this is a very big question, which will have very big consequences for us. and one more question that concerns the elections in moldova, er, in fact the presidential elections are to be held, later it is clear that the parliamentary elections, my sandu, the president of moldova, are now. in fact , according to the rating, he occupies the first position, and it is clear that russian or pro-russian forces will try to mold some new candidate or a new old candidate, so how much now, in general, during the upcoming election campaign, we see that russia is trying to interfere in it. and is

there a possibility that the pro-russian forces will nominate some new, or as i said, old candidate, who will be able to catch up with the ratings of the current president of moldova and even defeat her, although again, according to the ratings, as of now, she is number one and there, if i'm not mistaken, she has about 40 percent or even more support among the population of the country, right now... she's the number one candidate, the president has sando, and she has the best chance to win the elections, but russia will do everything possible so that, well, practically, the government of moldova and the presidential elections, so that maya sando does not win the presidential elections and that her political party does not win the parliamentary elections. why? because president sandu, she practically emphasized moldova's position that we

will not negotiate with russia anymore, we will no longer be in the gray zone, we will no longer be a buffer, and our only path is the path to the european union, this determines that russia is practically losing its influence on moldova and these levers of influence are getting less and less, and therefore they will do everything possible to ensure that president sandu does not win these elections, but in the history of moldova, by the way, not a single person, never... once won the presidential elections twice, but, but the president has sandu, she has the best chances, because her opponents are on the left flank, and the left flank is the pro-russian flank, they, they are fragmented, they agreed on a single candidate for a very long time, they did not agree even what, and eventually they all went to the polls, and that will fragment their electorate and virtually guarantee victory for the victor. the president has

her own, but it will be only in one case, if there is no destabilization, it is very important, because, well, the fact that there are so many candidates is in favor of the president himself, but if there is destabilization, then it will change the picture, the political picture in for moldova, because maysand has two main achievements, what managed to preserve peace in moldova, prevent war from entering the country, and moldova has appeared. political certainty, a real prospect of joining the european union appeared, they understood the country's development path is clear, but if there is destabilization in moldova, then this can very quickly destroy its political rating and this is a very dangerous thing, for example, through gagauzia, not through transnistria, but through gagauzia, this time it is now for moldova, there is such a threat of destabilization due to autonomous. mr. vladyslav, thank you for

politclub, live ether of espresso tv channel. we continue to work, and now we will... discuss the hottest event, of course, this evening for ukraine and this day, for the united states of america, for the whole world, that joe biden withdrew from the presidential race races, we already have a friend with whom we will discuss this, but there is no guest yet , they tell me, let's see then, let's see what happened. joe biden actually published a letter on his social networks with his signature, where he announced that he is withdrawing from the presidential election, but he remains president until the end of his

term, that is, until january 20, next year, here, by the way, on his screens you can see this letter. it is published both on facebook and on the x social network, in which biden clearly expresses his thoughts, thanks, thanks the people, thanks the americans, says that america should continue to be a democracy, and about the fact that he makes such a decision himself, you can go to his social networks before. read, review, because it is, well, of course, it is very important for the whole world, and it is clear that it is important for ukraine today to make such a decision, and we also do not know at the moment who will be the candidate from

the democratic party , who will actually become, well, if not the legal successor of biden, then the person who will be nominated from the political biden forces. and it could also be kamala harris, the current vice president of the united states of america, it could be one of the current governors, well, we'll see the decision later. will be by the democratic party, actually by the leadership, by people who are members of the democratic party, it will also be very interesting to see how this election will take place, because joe biden was de facto elected in the primaries, and by the way, in these primaries by almost 100% voted for him, that is, all delegates voted for him, he was elected, now how to do it... the time of these primaries, for example, is difficult for me to imagine, because it is a very long process. on the other hand,

we understand that the democrats still have about two to three weeks, maybe up to a month , to choose a candidate. if we start from the priority date, then it will most likely be somewhere... the first decade of august, that is, we are talking about really three weeks, most likely, and who it will be is also important, because now the democrats will look at the ratings, will look as possible sympathies, for this person, will look at how much this candidate is perceived in the democratic party, and how clearly he can defeat trump, because ... after all, until today, if

we talk about sociological polls, they were all the same somewhere within the limits of statistical error, and here it is very much a decision of biden, given all that pressure, and given that he made this decision is also controversial, well, finally we have... our guest on the call oleg shamshor, diplomat, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine to the united states of america in 2005-2010 , ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine to france in 2014-2020. mr. oleg, we are very glad to see you, good evening, congratulations, congratulations, mr. oleg, well, you already know, you see, so to speak, what happened, the current president of the united states of america, joe biden, withdrew from the presidential

race , he published his letter on social networks, an appeal to the people of the united states of america, how do you assess why biden took such a step, because even today, even for a few hours, an hour before the broadcast, there was information... that he was not going to withdraw from the presidential race, now we see the complete opposite situation, how do you assess why he came to such a decision after all, in fact, i was watching cnn this morning and there was such a general opinion that the pressure on him is increasing, but for now he firmly intends to continue participating in the presidential race, the presidential race, well... in principle, on the other hand, almost everyone who commented on the situation

said that this weekend could be decisive he really became decisive, the reason, well, first of all, is that pressure, well, in such a vanguard of pressure on biden, went, well, plus, i do not rule out that his physical condition is also... although they said that he has covid it turns out, not the best, and he made such a completely, in my opinion, well-founded conclusion, and we must give him credit that it was obviously a very difficult decision, but he found the courage to make it, mr. oleg, but still, i am already talking about it pointed out that ... even in spite of the situation where there was

enormous pressure on biden, still even as of yesterday, every day we watched the ratings, we watched the dynamics, anyway, biden actually and trump had a 50-50 chance, well, we won't take those bookies there and so on, you know, not very seriously, but as for the rating. anyway, he had the potential to get, at least win, at least, well, we understand that he didn't according to the ratings, he didn't... he should have failed completely, why did the democrats pressure him all this time to withdraw from the presidential race? racing? uh, well, you're right noticed that it was a question of the scale of the defeat, and when it became clear that there could be a defeat not only in the presidential race, races, but also in the senate, in the house of representatives, then

the democrats scored. alarm, it is firstly, secondly, in principle, uh, really, if we take the national results as a whole, then the situation is preserved, but i am sure that the greatest concern, i would say even panic among the democratic, was caused by the a fact that persists even widens the gap with trump in favor trump in the so-called variables. the states will determine the fate of the presidential election, and this margin has not only increased, and it has remained, but the number of these states in which, which

have turned from a democratic state, into a state of minla. where there is no advantage of any party, it is obvious that this number of states has increased, and especially, as i understood, the statistics for 14 states caused concern, that is where the gap really increased, biden's position worsened, and this, i think, was the final straw that forced the uh... democrats, their leadership to act enough strongly. if we talk about biden's successors in the presidential race, vice president of the united states of america kamala harris was called the most likely candidate, although there were also questions

about her ratings, some. polls have shown that she is not exactly popular in the united states of america in general, she is not supposedly charismatic there, and so on and so forth. so, mr. oleg, who do you think the democrats can choose as a presidential candidate from their political force, it will be kamala harris, maybe it will be one of the governors, or it can be for a completely different candidate. which we don't even know yet, well, i 'll start with the last one, so far no such unexpected candidates have been named, now it looks like, according to inertia , haris is considered the main contender, but the closer, i noticed, the closer

the situation developed before biden took off... the bezyan race, the more frequent statements about doubting whether harris could win over trump. her lag behind trump, well, formally, it is small, i also saw 3% last time, that is , it is about the same as biden's. on the other hand, this is my subjective opinion, i believe that haris is not for himself. built in the position of vice president, she is a fairly weak and not charismatic politician, the fact that she is, as they say , a woman of color, is a woman, that is, it is not so easy to remove her, but along

with surprisingly, i say not surprisingly, because er... it totally didn't show up during the presidential candidate selection is enough a large bench of politicians who could be nominated to replace biden, and it's primarily about governors, and uh, in particular, it could be california governor newson, it could be pennsylvania governor shapira, uh... some two or three more governors that are called , maybe one of the senators, but i think that in the near future we will find out who... among the favorites, and now a very serious technical question arises, the primaries have passed,

14 million votes were cast for biden, that is, how to conduct the selection candidates, etc what i heard today, in principle there is no consensus, even among the leadership of the democratic party, it is quite difficult. process and there is not much time left before the congress, it is on august 19, that is, now the democrats will have to decide very quickly on their candidate, from the candidate to vice president, and in fact now to reformat the election campaign, but if we still say about this technological process, you have already mentioned it. that in fact, biden was actually elected in the primaries and there at almost 100% a huge

number of people voted for him. how can it be carried out technologically, so that it has legitimacy, well, in the eyes of both democrats and independent voters, and in general in the eyes of american society, because if we do it. it is quite a long process, if you nominate a candidate in some other way without involving the general public of the democratic party, then this, too, may call into question a certain social legitimacy of the candidate, the candidate, what should the democrats do now and how can they implement it? it's really a very difficult question, but i've been for a few days, i'd say even a few... i've heard different opinions on this matter, which were expressed, as i understand it, the question, well

, it will definitely even be resolved at the congress, in the regulations congress, although the primaries, well, this is the basis for nomination, at the same time, the delegates have the opportunity to vote as they see fit, that is, there is... a certain opportunity, a loophole in order not to be bound by the decisions of the primaries, that moreover, since biden himself refused to participate, the idea of ​​such has been expressed most often lately mini primaries, some large gatherings of members of, excuse me, the democratic party, that is , i think i will now show... political creativity, how to hold a mini primaries, it's hard for me to say, for this you have to be a member of the leadership of the democratic

party, well, what i heard is that there will be either mini primaries, or large gatherings, or both, gatherings of members of the democratic party, but really there is practically no time left before that, and it is quite interesting that just... well, there was an interview with the speaker of the chamber today johnson's representatives, and he said that in principle, we republicans think that this is not very democratic, we passed the primaries, nominated a candidate, and now this decision will be canceled, somehow it comes out sloppily, uh, and because for the republicans now , biden would be the best candidate because... they don't know how to fight him, if a strong candidate is nominated, it will make it seriously difficult for the republicans,

especially the choice, the speech, the choice is made, well he was clear, and the speech trump at the convention republicans, just showed his weakness again, that is, half was normal, that is, he is here we... he tried to show himself as a new person after the assassination, that is, who has changed his mind a lot, stands for unity, but most of this record in general in terms of duration the speech was again devoted to his claims both to the elections and to his competitors and so on, that is, in principle, he has an internal weakness and eh... i understand that the democrats expect to win, well, here is the latest information, 12 minutes ago, while we are with

you... we say, joe biden again published another post on the x social network, and he did not address all citizens of the united states, but addressed the democrats. he wrote: my dear democrats, i am choosing not to run for the office of president of the united states of america, but he writes that... he actually supports kamala harris as a candidate for the position of president of the united states of america, which means we are, by the way, on screens you can see this post on x's social network and he actually says what he thinks as necessary to support her. in the nomination

from the democratic party this year, he wrote democrats, it's time to unite and, relatively speaking, beat or beat the pramp, so to speak, so and so another statement by biden was made, that is, after all, and yes, yes , mr. olezhe, i'm sorry, i interrupted, eh, it's clear. that biden's word and political weight are great, and this is definitely in favor of harris, on the other hand, it is unlikely and difficult to imagine that he would not support harris, since she is his vice president, but i think that this is not the end, and in the near future, we will see in whose favor the choice will be made first of all.

leadership of the democratic party, that is, to all americans, biden, from what i read, at least, he is going to address next week. by the way, if we are talking about kamala harris, today there is also information in the american mass media that the headquarters of donald trump is now developing a strategy in which way ... in the presidential race with potential candidate kamala harris, that is, they, we understand it, what they are also most likely understand that this is a convenient, in principle, to some extent candidate for them, just like biden, but you, mr. oleg, said that biden would be a convenient candidate for the republicans, and maybe they are from this point of view also think that kamala harris

would be a... a convenient candidate for them because she has a certain legacy as well that goes from the biden administration, yeah, well, i mean, she as the vice president doesn't take responsibility for everything, what, what they accuse biden of, secondly, completely i understand that her political weight and popularity are not the same as, not the same as her political weight and popularity. biden and trump's treatment of harris in general is so derisive, the last i heard from him, he was calling her crazy, well that's his style, so basically i think if she gets nominated, they will consider it right or wrong, we will see.
