people say that they are ukrainians, and such trifles cannot overcome them. this is what i heard in kyiv and sumy. last week, when i was there, maybe the situation in lviv is a little different, but i heard exactly the same conversations in kyiv and sumy. one way or another, let's return to the topic of russia. i don't think russia has a recruitment problem, as we imagine, it may have difficulty finding people, but the large sums of money offered for service attract tens of thousands of russians. since these sums are too large to be ignored, if money is offered for a year, two or three years of work, in one month of service, many people are ready to join the army, so i don't think that putin is facing an acute shortage of people yet, but his real problem is the leadership and the lack of qualified officers, many of those who were needed to lead the troops have already died. in the early days of the war, we killed many of their generals and key commanders, now putin... has to

rake it up, replace them with new people, find new commanders for battalions and other units, and i suspect that many of these new battalion commanders are not capable manage their units effectively, and they are there simply because they are someone's friend, not because they have experience or skill. such a problem is facing putin. but i think with russia you should always be careful about possible surprises. as i mentioned before, they are not predictable, they came through kharkiv, we didn't expect it, nobody seems to have expected it, grast, and what are they going to do next, they are going to do something again unpredictable, is it russia, or may the war escalate again due to belarus, whether they will decide to attack elsewhere, who knows, but they will definitely try something new, the main problem is that russia continues to build up.

resources and exhaust us step by step. they have more resources than we do, if they decide to move their forces elsewhere we can stop them, but every time we stop them it also prevents us from developing counterattacks and training our battalions and brigades in new methods. so we risk remaining the same as we were from 2014 to 2022, just a defensive army, which... happens to be in the trenches, instead of being an army capable of offensive actions, and that is very dangerous. thank you very much, dear colonel gran, for this extremely important conversation on the espresso channel. i would like to remind our tv viewers that retired british army colonel glen grant, a well-known military expert, god save the king, was currently working for them. glory to ukraine. glory to ukraine and god save the king. let him live long, let him live. long. a journalist who joined

the armed forces, a political expert who became special agent, taras berezovyts in a new project on espresso. the real front is a thorough analysis of the main events. reports, comments of leading specialists and experts. analytics from the major of the armed forces. how to make sense of disturbing news and distinguish truth from hostile propaganda. the program is real. with taras berezovets every saturday at 21:30 at espresso. now the iconic ukrainian politician and diplomat roman bezsmertny will work on the espresso tv channel. glory to ukraine. mr. roman, glad to see you. glory to heroes. good afternoon, mr. antin. visit of the minister of foreign affairs mr. kuleba to the people's republic of china. we understand that the meeting was partly public and partly private.

with the minister of foreign affairs of china, one lasted more than three hours, i think there were some, possibly additional conversations, we understand that this fits into the general process, this is how the world agreed in anticipation of trump and the corresponding changes, the concept of trump plus or minus is clear, yes he wants to force, in one way or another, if not russia, then ukraine, he will also need a result. roman petrovich, how are you? now you are evaluating the current, well, i won't say historical, but extremely important negotiating moment. the first thing to pay attention to in the story surrounding the trip of president koleba to guangzhou is the place itself, the form, and the content, because here only from the fragments of the first, second and third one can understand that no more than 10- you, well, a maximum of 15. from what

happened there, well, you don’t need to be too prepared there to understand, for the sake of even a three-hour conversation with the minister, you don’t need go to... let's start, what kind of city is this? this is a city where diplomats and officials of both the united states of america and great britain are present at one of the highest levels. first, i don't mean first by accident. this indicates that if there was a bilateral meeting, it would take place in beijing. this means that meetings take place far beyond the boundaries of bilateral dialogue. now let's move on to what can be done for three days, three days, because well, you can hold, let's say, three meetings and come back on that, and what can you count on, well first of all, if the calculation was for

a sweet candy and for the result, then mr. kuleba would not go there, but the head of the yarmak office would go there, and everyone is writing about it now, talking about it, and it is true, that is... this is technological work , which is executed there. now, what is the subject of this work, and why do you need three days and such a multi-echeloned, multi-layered pereg? let's pay attention to what has been happening in the last two weeks to realize how much it has affected ukraine, the chinese, ukrainian-american, ukrainian-british, ukrainian-european relations, because here we need to... look for an answer, and yes, the first thing, you remember, and we all remember, orban's trip, moscow, beijing, washington, kyiv, moscow, beijing, washington, and how result, the decision of the ukrainian government to stop the transit of oil

through the druzhba oil pipeline. because, as it turned out, orban did not just drive around, but renewed the contract. acts related to the supply to russia of components and components of rocket and space weapons, which hungary and the company hungary purchased in the netherlands, france, germany and great britain, and through third-fifth companies, through china it was sent to russia. the reaction of the ukrainian government to these actions of orban was to stop it. autoprovid friendship, secondly, the information that president biden delegated the authority to implement and control sanctions against china, in matters related to russian aggression against ukraine,

to the ministry of finance yelen, this is very interesting information, because she says that these the questions are translated into techno. technical level, that is, they are monitored 24 hours a day, this is the second thing, and it is clear that this is caused by the previous information that i said and the conversations that were held during the nato summit in washington, where the same orbán showed himself quite strangely, strangely, i will say so, for the nato environment. the third thing that should not be overlooked is how... the notice of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine regarding minister kuleba's trip to china was returned to moscow. pay attention, there the emphasis is made, cut out, copied the phrase that ukraine is already ready to sit down at the negotiating table tomorrow. and one more important one

thing, if china didn't behave, but when it got into the eyes of the bullies, it has an extreme need. maintain relations with ukraine, because these are 9 million tons of grain, because these are things related to titanium, the supply of titanium sponge, these are things related to rare earth metals, that is , this is a whole range of technologies related to bilateral relations , so it can even be seen from the rhetoric and tone of rhetoric between. kyiv and beijing, but as we see the meeting is taking place in guangzhou, i mentioned again that it is a free economic zone, it is the capital of china's relations with all over the world, and when, as we remember,

the meetings took place with secretary of state blinken, yelen was there, they did not take place in beijing, they took place in gongju, this is very important to understand. and so, what could be the content of these negotiations? of course, the issue of bilateral relations is certainly a topic that was related to initiatives. china, but in this case , i would not put the topics related to the so-called negotiation process in second, third, or even fourth place, if it was about that, then it was about, if only basic things, and so, firstly, the un charter and the principle of sovereignty and territorial integrity, and it quickly sounded and covered everything, the second is the principle of conducting spoke, as was indicated by the ukrainian side, with a certain mediation, and can china in

this case count on such a status, china cannot in such a case count on its status as a mediator, because it is not suitable, it is on the side of the enemy, it is a satellite of moscow , and kulema very tactfully made it clear, however, in this situation there is a certain coincidence'. information, which president zelensky is now repeating quite often, about the so-called negotiation process, about the peace summit from the russian side, which needs such a meeting and a visit to gonjov. i will explain why, because i am convinced that in gongzhou, in addition to the contacts that i have already mentioned, including, obviously, there was a dialogue at the technological level with a certain representative of the russian side, or authorized representatives. a representative who, who could be the same wang yi, regarding the conditions and

possibilities of the participation of the russian side in such a summit, otherwise such a coincidence there was no informational and concluding phrase that was voiced by the president of ukraine regarding the negotiation process and the format of the peace summit. from my point of view, to date, including what was done by ... propane kuleba, what was done by boris johnson, the famous article, what was done by robert o'brien, in the famous article, these are the so-called touchstones , right away, mr. antin, i want to say that they are not worth paying attention to, because it will not be possible to launch any negotiation process in the current conditions, not because they do not want it in washington, brussels, beijing, this will not happen. for the simple reason that moscow considers any negotiation process as a trap, and not

only for ukraine, but also for those who speak about it the most today, and this makes it clear, in his article, already cursed and already completely in quotation marks i take these words not as a hero, boris johnsonyuk, because what he writes there is clearly visible, you can think anything you want, but there is only... one way to put the führer in his place, that is force. i agree with you, mr. roman, well, look, there are two more very important signals here. one signal came, not surprisingly, from the kremlin, that is, they immediately reacted like this, to the meeting of kule bezvani, and accordingly they said that it would not be the right time to hold any negotiations, and again they undermined the legitimacy of our government, that is, they already finally... they are betting on some other scenario, perhaps, in addition to the power scenario, the power scenario is a plus, and you very rightly

noted the visit of johnsonyuk to trumpanyuk, and we understand that trumpanyuk can be a very unpleasant surprise, so i do not urge there to quarrel with him and so on, but we understand that he will have a solution generated by donald trump's office of simple solutions, yes, and these solutions can be our money, whatever we want, and this business that ... accompanied him extremely high activity of the so-called gray diplomacy, here i completely agree with you, gray diplomacy begins to paint one or other scenarios, but everything rests on one side in the ambition of the führer, who says no, and, accordingly , china, who says: yes, yes, negotiations are possible, but not now, not at this moment, but with from my point of view, in the next, coming weeks , sociologists will show the dominance of... garis in relation to trump. what can trump do? understanding one's weakness and

the need for a change, a radical change in the strategy and tactics of the election campaign. he will start hurrying, he will start answering all these questions in a hurry, and we will get a lot more surprises. and i urge everyone to be ready for these surprises. therefore, if yesterday you and i could talk about the fact that... trump has a better chance, and biden may or may not, then today i can say with full responsibility that the trumps are in this match. they don't look like the leaders of the race and what will happen in the final, well i won't say today that trump can lead the race, but the most important thing is not that, the important thing is that the united states of america is in the figure of kamala harris, about whom you can talk about everything anything, but this is not just

a tough person, as joe biden called her in the last speech. this is a political shark, which , like bandyugam in california, nibbled at the spines of rapists, fraudsters and so on, that in the event of victory, she will do the same to everyone, both internal criminals and external ones. actually, this is the request for a tough person that america needed, that is, this is the case. when in the coming months, despite the fact that the election campaign in the united states of america is intensifying, we will also have a certain correction of the foreign policy course. i would not compare and equate the foreign policy of biden with the foreign policy of kamala harris, especially since you have to go back and carefully

read her speeches, if only at all the munich security conferences. it smile, as experts write, not women, the way she laughs, reacting to trump's meanness, it's a tiger's smile, and in fact, behind this turn there are a lot of known, but even more unknown things, from here i can say that ukraine is in this situation , first of all, if the political leaders do not know what and how to do, they should at least... at least be silent, because in the current situation the chances have not simply leveled off, but before us is the prospect of obscurity, mr. roman, the prospect of obscurity, i wanted would that you now highlight certain points with a torch, to things, i would like to remind our tv viewers how at one time

we tried to play along with an extremely unsuccessful part of ukrainian politics against joseph biden, in particular, we remember how they released... into the public arena who? andriy derkach, yes, the son of the former head of the security service of ukraine, who is now accused of spying for russia and working in the main russian intelligence agency, well, this is a lyric, now is a historical moment, it is really very appropriate, you also mentioned the speech of valery zaluzhny, and there was an article the interview of commander-in-chief syrskyi, this is actually about scenarios, we understand, on the one hand there is... a plan, so to speak, of putin, orban, maybe trump, who suits them, then there is the harsh ukrainian reality, because the enemy is going we will continue to attack energy, we will try to neutralize this matter with the help of air defense systems, but in any case, if the scenario comes in the winter, in the spring we may have a slightly different public mood,

and it is not known whether it will be in the spring or in the middle of winter, and the enemy is also counting on it, well... accordingly, and donald trump, he will actively play with what will be offered to him, for example, putin orban's environment. it is important that what we were talking about, the printed materials of boris johnson, robert o'brien, theses expressed by valery zaluzhny, already as ukraine's ambassador to great britain at the royal conference, further, the interview of syrskyi. were not analyzed as separate self-sufficient things, because they all overlap. and yes, several conclusions from this large size and large volume of voiced things. and yes, the first thing is obvious leadership in security issues on the eurasian continent will gradually pass from the united states of america to

great britain. and this phrase that boris johnson has in that... because the american contingent in europe should be replaced by ukrainian troops is an answer to the question of what awaits europe, because the ukrainian armed forces are the only armed forces on the continent , as boris johnson writes , which are capable of resisting the russian novela. this must be remembered. the second thing that is super important in this situation, which is obvious, despite the fact that london has left... line up of the european union, london will set the tone in security issues in the nato system, and here it is very important that there will be a key role... another important thing is what valery zaluzhny said in his speech at this conference, that , that gentlemen,

democrats, if we want to preserve democracy, wake up, we have today an understanding of what it is to fight evil, we know how, we ask two things from you, the first is technology and help, because... remember, i quote: neither ukraine nor russia, due to known reasons, are capable of doing this, and the winner will be the one who provides a technological leap. it is not necessary to separate these, this presentation from the previous two materials, between which the difference is flawed, because there were exactly such conclusions, and this technological leap can be made only in the event that the democratic world... as mr. zaluzhnyi says, wakes up and understands the danger, because they, that is, evil, is going to kill, he

says in the second phrase, it is not just evil that will fight, this evil is going to kill, and we must defend it. it is important that even in obrayen, how, because there is a second title, the explanation of trump's foreign policy is the words that the coalition... is formed by evil, it is russia, china and iran, and the leader of this coalition, thanks, perhaps, to our discussions with you, is recognized not beijing, but moscow. this is one more, one touch to the visit to guang-zhou, the minister of kuleba. i am returning to the field of euro-american, euro-ukrainian-american relations. and it is also very important, in this... realm , to note that ukraine in the current situation can, together with london, lead the entire

foreign policy, not be the object of this politicians, and to lead, and valery zaluzhnyi in his speech makes it absolutely clear that you, as if everything is fine, you think that you understand everything, in fact, what is happening... in the russian-ukrainian war is only a transitional stage, and we don't really know what awaits humanity in the issues of tomorrow, so either we work together and win, or we will surrender the situation one by one, now regarding syrsky from the subtext of this information, because it is necessary to read not only literally, but what is not written there , it is written, it is not written, but also... it is hidden interim period this is that the armed forces of ukraine, the general staff, are preparing a very serious plan, whether it will be a counteroffensive or an offensive,

this is known only to those who are working on it. because when you combine the first part of this interview with the thesis about the ten-year plan for the return of crimea, it shows that freud worked, well, he talked. this means that... the current situation is only a tactical step in preparation for something serious, i am not giving anything away here, because in fact, anyone who analyzes such texts, seeing this contradiction and reluctance to talk, actually understands that a certain step is being prepared, and this step is connected with the arrival of the required number of f-16 aircraft to ukraine. now, why does this... sound right at the end, because syrsky, like zaluzhny in his time, said, if you want western partners to be partners, please fulfill your

agreements, because the aesop speech of zaluzhny, who actually said that, what you saw in 2022, you saw in 2023, open your eyes. wake up, assyrian, with what is inherent in him, as a man, military, which participates in direct battles and battles, showed on elementary things that this happened because you did not fulfill the agreements that were between us in time, you did not put the first, second and third in time, you made the development of events on the front line dependent on , what you can or cannot produce, tell the truth. so that we can dispose of a resource that produces results. in fact, if you combine all these components, it becomes obvious that...

washington, brussels, and london are gradually coming to their senses, they are beginning to understand that ukraine can lead them today . what is important in this situation? it is important that kyiv uphold its position based on the principle that ukraine is nothing without ukraine, and the dialogue from the west led to the fact that it will be pro... productive, that is, they agreed, they decided, because the group that was created in the vision of nato for cooperation with ukraine has already shown: 50% of the agreement that was reached between ukraine, nato countries within the framework of romstein, and the united states of america, was not implemented in a timely and qualitative manner, as it was supposed to be bilateral agreements and even

written ones. without a doubt, mr. roman, look, i would like to ask you more about the plans of the enemy, speaking of the commander-in-chief, colonel-general oleksandr syrskyi, he gave a pretty clear signal of what to prepare for, that is, the russians are trying to increase the number of their offensive offensive group to 690,000, so it sounds extremely serious, although we understand that it is about an increase of about 150,000 persons. composition, accordingly, we carry out a proper mobilization, but there is still a population, and we understand that the enemy will rely on an internal scenario, so they say about the suffering of the ukrainian people in the united states and in europe, as if everyone understands, but the trial bullet was the blackout of large cities, and we understand that there was a rather unpleasant reaction, i think that the enemy tested this matter in a sociologically there...

way and accordingly they are preparing for a scenario that will directly hit the population, so we understand that electricity is both about water and, in general, about vitality bridge here there is an answer in zaluzhnyi's speech at the conference, about which he says, we need not just constant communication between the government and society and the readiness of society to oppose it, we need truthful... communication, frank communication between the government and society, which would be a kind of preventive one step ahead of what we are talking about, and we must thank colonel-general syrsky for frankly and honestly saying that this is the situation, this is how events are developing on the front line, this is what we can expect, what is important now, what is important, that from the side of the government, from the side of the president, their

administration and the ministry... and especially the local authorities, the same honest communication, the same honest dialogue with the people, who were prepared morally, verbally, and especially resourcefully, to survive the winter . thank you very much, mr. roman, for this extremely important conversation on the air of the espresso tv channel, i want to remind our tv viewers that roman bezsmertny, an iconic ukrainian politician and diplomat, was currently working for them. well, the time of our program is over, stay with the spresso tv channel, my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of the day. watch espresso, stay informed, and of course, take care of yourself and your loved ones, take care of each other. see you on air. watch this week's judicial control with tatyana shustrova in the program. the year of operation of the renewed vkks,

vkks did not function for almost four years, and it was a big...
