sauce to limit our economic growth bastards, and of course, then we need the kulebavych gonjo to show him to all the western politicians, you see, he passed by, and you say that we are behind russia, and we are talking to the ukrainian minister, and you do not do this , you don't speak russian because you want the war to continue and we want the war to end. okay, now our wishes. well, first of all, we cannot refuse the chinese offer if we are invited, because if we are told. we look a country that does not want peace, although again, you can look at it differently, you can say: listen, as long as you have a strategic partnership with russia, as long as you supply it with equipment, ours will not have a foot in china either, well, the chinese are breaking diplomatic relations with those countries that establish diplomatic relations, it was the correct position of ukraine, it is a matter of choice, i would have done so, but the ukrainian leader... is doing it wrong, now

again, why? because we still have some strange hope that china can and india can affect russia. well, that is, in general , for the global south, the authorities of ukraine have hopes, and we see that the authorities talk a lot, in principle, about the countries of the global south and try, relatively speaking, to constantly establish some kind of relations with them, of course, we do everything possible , in order to establish them with the countries of the global south , and we always close the door. on their contacts with russia, but in the case of israel the situation is different, we always tell them that what you see is that you continue to have contact with moscow, although there are no such meetings with the prime minister with putin, as there are no such meetings with putin, as is the case with putin, the truth is that at least recently, but president zelensky did not go to israel, because he understands that this can anger the global south, i i don't know, by the way, what he will do if trump becomes president, because for trump this is ignoring israel, it will be automatic proof of not... uh, but it's

already, you know, then it will be necessary to choose, or trump, or the global south, it will already be in the future, but it doesn't matter, it does the meaning is that it seems to me that our perception of diplomacy is the perception of unrealistic chances, the perception of the picture, but there is a rather simple question: the survival of ukraine in a long-term war with the russian federation, what is needed for this, for this we need to have money and weapons, because... without money and without weapons, russia will simply turn us into its own province in a few months. what is needed, what is still needed, so that russia does not have money and weapons. who helps russia to be with money and weapons? china, india, other countries of the global south. thanks to the support of these countries, the russian federation was able to level western sanctions, and now it can ignore the point of view of the united states and the countries of the european union. with whom we want to build a relationship now, especially. by

the same countries whose policy helps russia to continue the war, as far as we can influence their economic interests in any way, no way, moreover, we ourselves want to sell them grain so that everything will be stable for them, and when we cannot sell them grain that them necessary for the development of their economy, so that they can buy oil and gas from russia, we ourselves are the first to complain, so what do we want. if, after all, we return to the issues of these visits, and perhaps another visit follows from this, mr. modi is to come to ukraine, information about this appeared yesterday evening, and this morning it was confirmed by a number of sources, actually indian, what is it for mr. modi, what is it for ukraine? and that we

can derive from it a positive or a negative, whether it is so, or it is possible to compare with the same visit from kuleba to china, that it will essentially be a fruitless, fruitless meeting, well, well, at a higher level, and what do you want to expect from mr. bode, what can he do, i nothing, but, but, for it's called bamboo diplomacy for some reason, ugh, it 's strange that there hasn't been a minister of foreign affairs of ukraine there yet, but you can s... well , that is, vietnam has a strategic partnership with the united states, very good relations with the people's republic of china despite all the conflicts economic, and putin goes there, bamboo diplomacy, here we host biden, here we host putin, bamboo is known to be flexible, this is bamboo diplomacy, india has a strategic partnership with the united states, we go to moscow, we make our first visit, as soon as we are reassigned.

immediately to moscow and say that putin is our best friend, and we go to ukraine, to show that we are interested in the fact that there is no war, by the way, if you ask me, do i think that... on rendramod sincerely wants , so that there is no war, i will tell you as a man on a rendering mod, and we see it, sincerely believes that war is not a method of solving problems, this, by the way, can distinguish it from sydzenpin, uh, that he is not a communist, but one according to his political views, a right-wing statesman, however, so from his views, issues can be solved politically, he is the leader of the electoral democracy, he was used to fighting for power politically rather than using the army. well, then, of course, he told putin in samarkand, no one pulled his tongue, that war is not a method of solving the problem in the 21st century, not everyone will say that, putin a person is more interested in good relations with russia, but that he can really do nothing, how

can he influence putin, if in addition he is interested that putin has not finally fallen into the arms of xizen ping, for him russian... chinese cooperation is much more serious challenge than russia's war with ukraine, because he believes that if this cooperation deepens, it is a danger for india, and he will do everything to avert this danger, then such a serious question arises that why should he go to kyiv , but this is part of it strategic partnership with the united states, if it is a strategic partner of the united states, shares the principles of american foreign policy. american foreign policy is connected with the need to end the war, it is in its interests. he will come, he will speak at a joint press conference with volodymyr zelenskyi. by the way, despite the fact that the president of ukraine spoke about him personally rather disapprovingly, and said that he does not understand how prime minister modi can kiss

putin when putin is shelling a children's hospital? and i don't understand either, but i don't know if i would visit a person who would say that about me. ah... prime minister modi is an experienced politician, he goes, he swallowed it, well, they called our ambassador, they said something to him, but after that he swallowed it, and that basically means that he thinks that this visit to kyiv will be of a principled nature, and by the way, also in the domestic political arena of india, because he will say, yes, we have very good relations with the russian federation, so i met with president putin. and told him about him about the traditional relationship between moscow and nidelia, and this relationship begins there since the time of jogoharero, but we are a humane country, we are a country that cannot but support women and children who die in war, our task is to come and support morally, maybe

economically, maybe we can somehow help economically with some kind of humanitarian aid, but don't forget that these are the prime ministers of the country that buys weapons from the russian federation. the army of which has, first of all , a huge number of russian weapons, and prime minister modi, when he was in moscow, negotiated with president putin to speed up the supply of weapons, and by the way, it would also be good for him to smell all these weapons from him, because the weapons that putin will put to india will not get to the russian-ukrainian front, but i think that the indian prime minister has not so few chances, because we understand that the priority for the russian leader now is uninterrupted supply to his troops. and it is clear that for him the war against ukraine is much more important priority than relations with any india, so that's how it will be, can modi mediate between russia and india and

ukraine can't, i say again, in order to end the war, we don't need mediators, we need that putin wanted to end it, if putin does not want to end it, if putin believes that time is his ally. then there is not a single politician in the world who would force putin to take a step back, there are tools, if you do not buy oil and gas, then of course putin will end this war much earlier than i would like, but you can argue against renvodzi that he should not buy russian energy carriers, well, if president volodymyr zelensky had such an argument, then of course we could then say that the prime... minister came here it's not for nothing, but i don't have an answer to the question of who in the world has such an argument. well, a short break, we will be back in a few minutes, after that we will of course talk about the united states of america, there is just an incredible amount

saturday political club, we return to live and we're talking about the united states of america. it's been a little less than a week since the president, the current president of the united states of america, joe biden, withdrew from the presidential race. he stated that he was sacrificing personal ambitions. for the sake of democracy, for the unification of american society, he also outlined certain priorities for his administration for the next five months, which he will lead. and he stated that , of course, putin's stop in ukraine will be among such priorities. for the first a day, presidential candidate and current vice president of the united states of america, kamala harris collected almost a record amount of funds. first it was more than

50 million dollars, later it was 80. and of course it is worth mentioning the ratings that we have seen in the last few days, they indicate that in fact kamala harris is breathing down the neck of another candidate for the position of president of the united states of america, trump, yes, and their ratings are almost equal now, there are... in some age categories, kamala harris even defeats the former president of the united states of america, and gender, that is, according to different such stratifications, so social, we see that after the withdrawal of joe biden from

the election race, the ratings for democrats, for democrats in general, increased... how do you assess in general , the consequences of joe biden's withdrawal from his candidacy, and whether kamala harris really has a significant chance of defeating donald trump as of now. well, i have already told you more than once, andriy, and now i will repeat that i generally believe that these elections are a referendum, referendum on whether donald trump, who we all have. we know very well what kind of man and what kind of politician he is, to lead the united states of america, from the point of view of his supporters, this question does not even need an answer, from the point of view of his opponents, this question does not even need an answer, these people are divided in america 50 on 50. and i believe that joseph biden also had the opportunity to win the election for the president of the united states, but it

would be exclusively a referendum on donald trump. when the democrats nominated kamal harris, they turned... a referendum into an election, because now there may still be some number of people who will vote not so much against donald trump as for kamelo halis, but imagine people who will vote for joseph biden out of conviction precisely because biden, after these debates, it was difficult, of course, because everyone had to ask themselves the question, well, biden, he is in such bad physical shape, he is already 81 years old, it is clear that he has given up physically. but it is good, but not trump to be the president of the united states. now these considerations may look different. i want kamala harris to be president of the united states. she will be the first woman, she will be the first african-american president and the first indian-american president. it's just a set of completely new qualities. she is a young

person, and not this old man who claims to return to the white house, that he is not german there at all, he already is. was the president, but he can't say 10 words normally: shut up, go away, grandfather, play golf. and this, by the way, you can quote donald trump himself, what he says about people of the same age as him, because they are the same age as joseph biden. and this is the oldest, let me remind you, donald trump is the oldest candidate for the position of president of the united states. and it's not enough that this person at a not so mature age couldn't say five words somehow in english, so that someone would understand what he meant, so now he still forgets these five words. well, of course, in this situation it looks different, but that does not mean that donald trump cannot win the election, because again, you and i know what is the election of the president of the united states of america, it is a few states that determine the political map of the country and the number of elections, electors in the electoral college, and

how kamela harris and donald trump play out the key states will depend a lot. i think i told you last time that for many strategically important states for the democrats, joseph biden was what is called his guy, for the so-called irjago lonciug, he was his guy, but i do not rule out that kamela harris can play with other states, his game, those states where biden lost last time and trump won them, uh, joseph biden won those states that he will lose. which kylary clinton lost, but lost certain states that she won, if camele harris manages to take those states back and... win one or two of the so-called biden states, she will defeat donald trump. this is arithmetic. but it is necessary to conduct a perfect election campaign

in these states. it is necessary to become a real icon not only for those who think that the election of donald trump as president of the united states would be a disaster on a national and global scale, and it may well be. but even for those who do not see anything special in donald trump, they see him as just another republican candidate. and thinks first of all about what kind of president he would like to see in the white house from the point of view of his own economic interests, and this is not an easy story, not easy, but if we are talking about the choice of vice presidential candidates, trump is now extremely criticized for , that he chose divens, and even from the point of view of the republicans part. of them says that this election was a bad one, that divens actually scares away some voters, and it's not just democrats or independent voters who are saying that

, republicans are saying that, that is, that is, that is, this vice presidential candidate, he can essentially cut the election campaign of trump himself, but let's go back to kamala harris, she is currently choosing from seven candidates, here is my list. is in front of me, and there are different candidates, that's former us attorney general eric golder, that's there and its governors are active, it can actually be one of the senators or one of the congressmen, that is, there really is, relatively speaking, a large number of people who can potentially be... quality for the democratic party, yes, who can represent qualitatively in including kamala harris. now, if we're talking

about this election, how much, uh, could a potential vice president play a role in leading either kamala harris or donald trump to victory. well, see why some... republicans don't like jay dimens because they think he's not expands donald trump's electoral base, that donald trump needs to work with undecided voters, because again, he does not need to work with undecided voters, they will vote for donald trump under any circumstances, and even if he will choose a horse as his vice president, like the roman emperor and say that this is the person he is leading to the senate, the vice president already presides in the senate, then it is absolutely obvious that they are already for trump. but there are people who are undecided, and the figure of the vice president would have

to say that trump, relatively speaking, can offer them a certain kind of normalcy in politics, which is why, by the way, the figure of mike pence was so important to many voters in 2016. mike pence, a typical republican politician, is an ultraconservative, but he is a politician, he is a representative of the political elite. mike pence's very presence in the white house was telling these people that nothing extraordinary was going to happen, that this person, she's a businessman, she's a tv host, i mean trump, she's never been involved in politics, but she's leaning toward cooperation with politicians. mike pence objectively expanded trump's electoral base, and jay divans did not expand anything. but trump is the kind of person who does what he likes according to some politico-technological considerations, and by the way, no one said it was wrong. because quite often it's when you make some unexpected move that you beat the calculators, on the other hand, i don't think you and i can know who

kamela harris will choose as her co-stars ticket, because by and large she also needs a person who will expand the electoral base, and they will now be democrats sitting and counting. which person, say, might be important in those states where kamela harris is not as, say, obviously popular as, say, joseph biden was, conventionally speaking, biden and harris added something to each other, now biden is not on the ticket , relatively speaking, kamela harris needs someone like biden, and they will watch it, while kamela harris, she's not that authoritarian.

who would she like to see as vice president of the united states, who would be a more successful candidate, who would demonstrate that the democrats listen to different views, to different segments of the population, where this person should be from a moderate democratic circle or vice versa with a more radical one, so that , let's say, to attract some more part of the voters, that is, they will count it now, i think that... in a few weeks we will understand it, if we - analyze the position of kamala harius regarding ukraine, this is also one of the topics of discussion, many people say that kamala harris does not have a position of her own, she did not talk much about ukraine, yes, but it is clear that she was and is part of the administration of joe biden, and it is clear that ...

the position is most likely is the position of the white house as of now, that is , support for ukraine in the form in which it is now, in which it was, and it is likely that it will remain so, but still, can it change, well, of course , which is possible for the better , possibly in the direction of increased assistance our country, the position of kamala haris. and again, will she during the election campaign focus her attention on ukraine, on the victory over russia, on the victory over putin and everything related to this important international track. ukraine is not part of the american election campaign, of course, kamela harris can talk about it, just like trump, but in passing. is this the middle east or

part of the american election campaign? benjamin netanyahu's visit to washington was usually perceived as domestic political event, we will certainly also talk about it, and ukraine, and ukraine does not have such an influence on this situation, regarding the views of kamela harris on ukraine, you understand, the vice president of the united states has a specific role, he is responsible for the directions that he the president instructs, that is, the vice president of the united states, joseph biden, was responsible for ukraine, so we knew very well what his position was in ukrainian. question, because he was engaged in this in general, and he came to kyiv as the vice president of the united states, and he spoke in the verkhovna rada of ukraine as the vice president of the united states, remember? well, that's why, of course, when this person became the president of the united states, she would not entrust ukraine to her vice president, because she believed that this was a direction she herself knew. well, in such a situation, as we understand,

kamela harris will have to. one way or another, if she becomes the president of the united states, her position in relation to ukraine should be formed with the help of this team, which she will select, and this will also be connected with who this team will include who will be the assistant to the president for national security issues, who will be the secretary of state, you do understand that this whole team, she is leaving the white house, moreover, she would leave it in any case, because the president of the second the term, as a rule, also changes the team, well, someone would for... someone would leave, but you know, i don't see at all in any president of the united states, that kamela harris, that donald trump, any real opportunities to maneuver with point of view of the russian-ukrainian war. any the president of the united states will proceed from the fact that he should help ukraine in the opera of russia, and that this help should exclude the possibility of a direct conflict between.

the russian federation and the united states of america. can donald trump cross those red lines? to some extent, yes, and then the third world war will begin. can kamela harris cross those three red lines? more likely no than yes. so, in principle, i think that the question of what the situation will look like will be decided generally according to the following convention. four years counting the whole meaning of that. war and this whole style of war is very little for us to count on a decision at all after november 2024, november 2028, a more likely date for you and i to sit here and talk about how the war can end, but now only, i would say , taking into account that this is a long-term war, this is only the first years, we say all the time, this is a syrian-type war, this is...
