trump, why not wait a couple more months and make this promotion and gift to trump? and the counterargument that trump could not do such a thing, that only biden with his hundred years of experience in international relations , only he could do such a thing, and in this transaction, in fact, it is all focused on biden, and this speaks of weak side putin calculated this, and he went into this operation quite confidently, because he knew that it is possible to calculate the reaction of the democrats to some scenario, you can negotiate with them, but what will hit trump's head, nobody knows, and that's why it's one of the arguments in this dispute that the predictability of the democrats is more of a weakness than a strength, well , because putin personally and... and there's this

fsb gang, they like these scenarios, they like to calculate, they like to predict actions, and that is why there is a serious challenge for democracy, and in particular for kamala garis, because there american journalists, or those people who analyzed this situation, said that the weakness of such politicians as kamala in because they are so ... mr. oleg, and please let me with you to discuss the statement of lihui, he is, i will remind our viewers, the special representative of the chinese government for eurasian affairs, he is currently visiting brazil and he said that more than 110 countries have already reacted positively to the chinese-brazilian plan to end the war in ukraine, which this plan, well, it does not provide for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. borders, and ukraine has already said that

it, well, is not ready to follow the chinese plan, we have our peace plan, and accordingly we will to follow it, but we must also take into account that if this is true, we cannot now verify whether 110 countries have really agreed to it, well, you know, this is a rather dangerous situation, when we cannot ignore the reality in which we are , and if , unfortunately, there are countries that are ready to trade, as if there were some moments, then we cannot ignore it. and in the context of these, you know, recent months, statements are constantly being made: we need to invite russia to the second summit, we need to sit down at the negotiating table, we need to negotiate, the ukrainian authorities articulate this, ukrainians even in sociological surveys say that we are already beginning to somehow, you know, be more or less ready for this, but russia is, piskov said yesterday that they are not going to at all no... to go to summits and agree on something, and

i understand that russia will continue to put pressure on ukraine to be ready to come to beijing or minsk, i don't know, on chinese, possibly brazilian terms , where they would prepare this summit, but not are you afraid that we may find ourselves in a situation where we will not be proactive and we will not be the initiators of certain summits, to which we need to drag russia somehow, but... it will be proactive and it will try to drag ukraine there on its own terms, well, in particular, yesterday's exchange of hostages again was exactly putin's signal, there , first of all, it is about america, about washington and moscow, that such difficult negotiations, an unheard of thing, are called a diplomatic miracle, although there...

more special services than diplomats worked, but here, in particular, the time is very well chosen for putin, because putin wants to say that in general it is possible to negotiate with me, and i can be responsible for my bazaar, but we agreed on some level there, and although the white house says that they did not talk there, i understand that biden has not talked to putin, but this is such a demonstration of the ability to negotiate with putin on very difficult things, and then ... and every country does it, obviously, this is a very strong argument for all these negotiations about negotiations, which are now just going on in full swing, to convince the strong the world is in this, that you need to take the bull by the horns and stop this war, as trump says, and as chinese diplomats like to say, the question is how much ukraine... believes, is confident

in what it has and understands how this the war must end, because i am from our president, especially after the visit of our... minister of foreign affairs, this is really such an unpressing event in china, but i heard similar things, that there china recognizes the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine, china supports our peace formula, this is the first point the ten-point program, and actually my personal impression is that china supports its own sovereignty and its own independence, it does not talk much about ukraine there, but this... the work that is currently being carried out with chinese diplomacy is aimed at reaching autumn, because we too, we see the continuation of the formula in the world, the first global forum, we see it somewhere in the arab countries, in the arab continent, somewhere in the global south, as a continuation of this

ukrainian one, and our president says again, that ukraine cannot ignore the desire of many countries of the world to see russia. in the negotiations, i'm a little bit lost in these signals, because what you're saying, what the chinese representative said, well, if the world is going to see roughly, the situation as, how, how, many representatives of this global south see , what you ukrainians are holding out there is that, well, you want peace, you need to give something to russia, and you need to stop this bloody war and... then what should ukraine do with such a proposal, can our government accept it? and we see what the government is doing, the government rejects the thesis about the referendum, and that really upsets me, because in our country the law on the referendum was written through yanukovych, then it was scandalously rewritten somewhere, but we

have never had a test of this law. i don't understand how a referendum can be held in the conditions of war, but i understand that it is possible to cover up one's unwillingness to accept it there. it is the will of the people, an abstract one that cannot be implemented, and therefore i simply feel that, probably, we need to articulate our position much more clearly, and the authorities need to talk about it, i don't see any such detailed, convincing conversations about our understanding of the end of the war or victory, because the formula is give us the maximum number of weapons and we will solve everything, but it doesn't work like that, the formula about what we have for. .. to the border of 1991, many say it is unrealistic, well, accordingly, we do not have it, i do not have it, i do not understand, i do not know how they see the formula for victory and how they see the scenarios of this second stage form, for example, the ukrainian president, the ukrainian

government, and accordingly, i don't understand, i don't i think that many ukrainians understand what we are striving for and how we will achieve it, but when you don't understand, well, you have doubts, thank you. oleg hrybachuk was in touch with us, co-founder of the chesno movement, former leader, head of president viktor yushchenko's secretariat, an extremely meaningful conversation, we thank him for it. and by the way, mr. oleg very rightly mentioned kuleba's visit to beijing and these plans, so that ukraine is promoting a clear cause, its plan, chinese officials are trying to promote some plan of their own, and pakin periodically promotes his so-called peace plan, meanwhile. a real competition of peace plans has begun among world politicians, and orban proves this with his trips. last week, kuleba went to beijing, the previous time the head of the foreign ministry of ukraine was in china eight years ago, whether it was possible to reconcile the own positions and visions of the chinese peace plan and

the ukrainian peace plan, our journalists tried to find out, and in general, whose project has a chance to be successful and provide us with real peace. let's watch the plot together. if china does not go to the peace summit, then kuleba goes to china. the visit of the ukrainian minister of foreign affairs came as a surprise to many. in june, china defiantly ignored an invitation to the peace summit in switzerland. nato openly accuses the sky of supporting russian aggression, and the united states threatens it with sanctions. however , ukraine understands that china is too big and influential. to take offense at him, or to ignore him. the visit of a ukrainian official at this level is the first in many years, and this is good, there is a clear signal that china will support territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine. and it was also confirmed what

chinese leader xi jinping had told me that china would not supply weapons to russia. doguang dmytro kuleba was invited by the minister of foreign affairs there, wang yi, the second person in the chinese hierarchy after xi jinping. the conversation lasted more than three hours, the prc continues to call. russian aggression with the ukrainian crisis, but once again expressed his readiness to help achieve peace, precisely peace, not a truce, dmytro kuleba emphasized. i spoke about the importance of what is fair peace, not any kind of peace, and my chinese colleague himself added that it is very important that it is fair and lasting, because usually it is we who constantly say that peace should be permanent, that is, lasting and... just, but what means a just peace for china?

the cause of the war is officially named by pakin as the expansion of nato to the east. his peace proposals essentially equate the victim and the aggressor. the russian federation is not going to give up its strategic partnership with russia. however, china is not the only country that has real influence on the kremlin. and that is why ukraine and the west would like to see the pucks at the second peace summit, preparations for... which are already underway. negotiations will not make sense if the russians conduct them as they have done before, putting forward terms of surrender. but there really will be no peace negotiations without russia and china at the table. china could play the role of a major global player, which it undoubtedly is in the economy, in finance, but perhaps no longer in the policy of forcing peace. china's position as a potential mediator is further strengthened against the backdrop of dramatic and unprecedented events. the famous american election that weakens usa and scare its allies.

president joseph biden's refusal to run for office, although it added enthusiasm to the democrats, further confused the prospects of american support for ukraine. on the one hand, vice president kamala harris is expected that if she wins, the white house will generally continue the current course with regard to ukraine. but haris herself is a person without experience in international affairs. and is likely to rely entirely on his advisors. andriy yermak, the head of the president's office, has already had a telephone conversation with one of the key diplomats, philip gordon. as the wall street journal claims that there is unlikely to be a place for the main appointees of president biden in the garis administration, including secretary of state anthony blinken, secretary of defense lloyd austin and national security adviser jake sullivan. whether the level of support will be at least the same as under president biden, who had

a special attitude towards ukraine, is an unanswered question . on the other hand, donald trump. he promises to end the war in 24 hours and claims to have his own peace plan. politico previously reported that in his team seems to be seriously considering the option of the agreement with the kremlin, which provides for territorial concessions to ukraine and. its refusal to join nato. after a meeting with trump on the sidelines of the republican party convention, ex-prime minister of britain boris johnson published his version of the peace plan in the tabloid newspaper the daily mail. there is an increase in military support for ukraine, intentions to push russia to the borders on february 24, and measures to protect the rights of russian speakers in ukraine to help putin save face. finally, they presented their version the us secretary of state in the trump administration

, mike pompeo, and david urban, the head of a lobbying company close to the republicans. they claim that the way to peace lies through force, which means that it is necessary to strengthen military support for ukraine, remove all bans on strikes deep into russia, reduce world oil prices in order to weaken the russian economy and, in the end, accept ukraine. to nato which of these plans is really trump's plan? it is unlikely that even trump himself knows this today. he is an impulsive and unpredictable person, which means that his victory will create something new for ukraine opportunities as well as great risks. president zelensky called me, we had a good talk, and i said that this war must be ended. you're dealing with the russian war machine, all they do is make wars. they defeated hitler, they defeated napoleon. the spring offensive never

happened. the russians have millions of shells and thousands of tanks. many russians were killed, but many ukrainians were also killed. this should not have happened. are ukrainians themselves ready for possible negotiations? survey of the razumkov center conducted in june at the request of the edition of the mirror of the week testified that 44% of ukrainians. believe that the time for peace talks has come, while 35% do not agree with this opinion, but this is the opinion of the rear, what the front thinks, sociologists do not know, the defense forces continue to make incredible efforts to restrain the enemy so that ukraine, if the time for negotiations really came, she was in the strongest possible position. dolgit cream relieves pain, reduces swelling and improves joint mobility, with dolgit cream, you can even walk, dolgit is the only yellow

signal from the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, russia... will no longer be able to take kharkiv, now the enemy has a different goal as a priority, the ukrainian president stated this in an interview with french journalists, i am now quoting the head of our state: the whole east is difficult, the main goal for today, after they failed to take kharkiv, and we understand that it will not succeed, the main goal has changed, their main direction is not the east as a whole, although slovyansk is not an exception, but pokrovsk, i i would say this today, well, the president of ukraine, i quote for them the priority, the pokrovsk direction and this city of pokrovsk. well, it seems that ukrainians already understand that this war is for a long time, and this is evidenced by the results of sociological surveys conducted by our sociologists. for example, the kyiv international institute of sociology and the national democratic institute conducted a survey among ukrainians, and their results showed that

more than half of the citizens of our country believe that the war will continue for a long time. 57% of citizens of our country think so, 18% of them believe that the confrontation will drag on for another year or two, and 17% are convinced that the hostilities will last from two to 5 years, and 14% believe that the war will end in 6-12 months, and approximately every 13th ukrainian has a pessimistic view the prediction that the war will last more than 5 years, that's the story, well, it's not surprising, it's not surprising really, because i think we've already passed that stage when we tried to believe in... some positive quick solution scenarios, i think it's come it's time to grow up, understand that the situation is such that we will have to fight with all this for a long time. yes, well, now we will talk about operational manifestations of all the importance of this strategic moment. valery romanenko, leading researcher of the state

aviation museum, petro is in touch with us. obukov, yes, the deputy of the odesa city council is already in touch with us. mr. peter, congratulations. i congratulate you. well, trukhanov decided to do a survey, to do a survey and ask odessa residents how they feel about their decommunization. city ​​and believes that the renaming of streets nullifies odesa, this is how his direct quote sounds. he did not like the initiative of the regional military administration, and he decided to cancel it for himself. this is the story. what does this indicate, firstly, in your opinion, and secondly, how do odessans generally feel about getting rid of all, you know, monuments to catherine, pushkin streets and the like, so that odessa, it is not just , you know, was lip service. in ukrainian, but also demonstrated it with all her toponyms? oh, well, let's start first, so since june 22, we have been engaged in de-russification,

decolonization, and we in the city council have already renamed more than 220 streets, alleys, squares, two districts of the city out of four, almost everything, there is a law on decolonization, which gives the authority to rename the head of the regional administration. and he had three months to do this renaming, he did it on the last day, july 26, and on july 26 he renamed 80 streets in odesa, when we started it in the city council, what did we do, we first started with streets that are named after russian rivers, cities, there is baikal street, novomoskovska street, rostov street, then we followed the russian figures, there is maksym gorky, and there are all other writers who do not have anything... in relation to odessa, to odessa culture, well , to ukrainian culture, and there are only those figures who have a relationship to odessa,

for example, there is a boulevard zhvonetskyi or pushkinska street, or there yuri olesha, paustovskyi and so on, but nevertheless they are subject to this law, because there the same zhvynetskyi received an order from the hands of putin already after the occupation of crimea, or there are all these figures, although they were not flattered. well and by the soviet authorities, but each of them is subject to this law, and this caused the indignation of a part of odessans, because it is not maxim gorky, who has no relation to odessa, but those who do, and for example , the cosmonaut dobrovolskyi was also there , the only odesa cosmonaut who died during the landing, and trukhanov decided to play on these feelings, they want to reset odesa to zero, well , look, here is such a story, so we... we understand that the odesa city council was some specific procedure, in particular consultative, i understand that there may have been some working groups that determined and, so to speak, who we will take over and rename to

whom, and after that, according to the procedure , it goes somewhere to the plenary session of the city council deputies, here we understand that the head of the odesa military administration decided to show indomitable will and determination and so on, and rubunov, as you said, on the last day, yes, but what? streets, but the key story in order to be odessa somehow, well, this is the city where they live, where they work, where they function, so that odessa, only asked, let's tell, so the history is like this, when we renamed the city council, each renaming went to an online vote, and the people of odessa could block this renaming and... and then the city council chose some other options, this happened, well , rarely, but it happened but the city council did not complete the work, for example, in the center of the city we had bunin street and zhukovsky street,

zhukovsky is the one who wrote the hymn "god is the king of god", but bunin has no relation to odesa at all, he was here for two days or something , and we proposed to rename it zhikovsky street to lesya ukrainka street, because when she came to odesa, she lived on this street, but the deputies did not vote, it was not enough. was empty, and it remained zhukovsky, and therefore the head of the regional administration by his decision single-handedly did it, and i see that the fault of the city council is here, the fault of the mayor and his party, which did not vote for it, who gave such a pass to this head of the regional administration, well and he also did wrong in that he did not talk to people, did not consult, there was no online discussion, at least nothing, just on the last day, here you go, well, look, that is , eh... there are questions about the law itself, and about how it should take place, well, in reality, its implementation, yes, well perhaps it would be worthwhile to finalize certain

provisions there. within the boundaries of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, well, we have what we have, on the other hand, i am well aware that the history of odessa, it differs in its, so to speak, its inner content, from the history of ivano-frankivsk or stanislavov, that is, the formation of the urban landscape took place in a different way there and, accordingly, there were certain sympathizers of the residents, yes, they are also a little bit different, that is. accordingly, as with the local in general, with the local flavor, we understand that the history of odessa, this was also before odessa, there were ancient settlements and so on, and so on, plus there is also the history of the influence of byzantine civilization there and so, well a lot of all kinds of things, how much is involved when we talk about a specific , well, about the history of odessa, not the 20th century, for example, there on the 15th, 17th, well, look, it's

in the decree. catherine about the founding of the so -called city is written that she provides money to build a port in the city of hagzhiy, that is , she admits that there was already a city here called hagzhi bey. and so when we renamed the districts, we had four districts in the city, two of them were named, sovorivskyi and malinovskyi. malinovsky was a former defense minister of the soviet union, but he is from odessa. nevertheless, he is a member of the central committee of the cpsu. and so malinovsky district was renamed to khadzhibek in honor of this city khajbe, which was here before odessa, and well, odessa was transformed, and therefore yes, well, we took it into account, and in fact, the new names proposed by the head of the regional administration, they are almost all very cool, here are activists and military casualties , and everything you want, and well , they are very cool, and for example, we had such a caravan here... a person who

studied and studied the ukrainian language and his wife is a linguist, an outstanding linguist of autodictionaries and so on, ugh, so now zhikovsky street is a street karavalskyi, and bunin street parallel to it is the street of his wife strakatoi, and it is a very cool name. mr. peter, finally i wanted to ask you how the people of odessa feel about the fact that the law now obliges us to get rid of all soviet toponyms, right? uh, to get rid of all this possessions, and isn’t it a popular idea among odessans now, which, by the way, is found in many apartments, yes, in many kitchens, that this is not what we are doing now, we have, we have to have other priorities, right now it’s not on times, are there many among, for example, your acquaintances or odessans, such people who believe that now is not the time? well , look, this process has been going on for two years, and frankly, he's been subsidizing and... i wish

we'd finished it sooner, and that's because i understand that there were some mistakes made by the governor, i understand that we're going to have to renaming these streets once again, and i'm already a little sick of it, although it's obvious that i don't want any russian names here, and regarding your first question, for example, when they renamed gorky park to mark twain park, no one protested, because mark twain didn't have a mark, because in principle everyone is a visitor to the same place, so ... to put it vulgarly, well, in fact , he is never interesting anymore, yes, but when they removed those who have a relationship, circles of indignation, it is about ilf and petrov, and paustovsky and so on, people need to explain why this happened, and the governor did not explain, well, nothing, let's hope to explain, there is one left, look at little arnautska in odessa did deribasivska remain, then also,

well, so to speak, petro obukhov, a deputy of the odesa city council, was in direct contact with us, thank you, mr. petro, and antin and i are already finishing our work for today, but stay tuned espresso, news is ahead, vasyl zima's big broadcast, so stay with espresso, see you from monday, take care! greetings, it's news time on spress, kateryna shiropoyas works in the studio. the russian army fired at the occupied volnovakha in donetsk region in order to stage a provocation. it was reported
