which is true, the difference between training then and now is also striking. at that time , the naval forces of the ussr used about 100 warships. now their number has increased to 300. however, the main difference between this year's exercises and the previous ones is that the black sea fleet of the russian federation does not participate in them. and it happens for obvious reasons. more than a third of the combat personnel of the black sea. of the russian fleet was decommissioned by the ukrainian defense forces. in addition, the black sea fleet of russia was forced to completely leave the harbors of the occupied crimea and move to novorossiysk. also , the satellites recorded the beginning of the construction of a large russian naval base on the territory of occupied abkhazia in ochamchir, where the russians are planning to build a huge naval port that will be protected from ukrainian naval attacks. drones,

dictator putin's main ambition is to demonstrate the ability of the russian navy to counter the combined fleet of the united states and its allies, primarily in the pacific region, precisely where russia has its two biggest allies, china and north korea. by the way, recently, the russian and chinese fleets held a joint naval parade in st. petersburg, and also participated in a joint patrol off the coast of the philippines, which is the largest ally of the united states in the region, after japan and south korea. this program was conducted for you by me, major of the armed forces of ukraine, taras berezovyts. thank you for watching, together to victory and glory to ukraine.

svobodalai is frank and impartial. you draw your own conclusions. glory to ukraine, dear tv viewers, on espresso tv channel, west studio program. we will analyze the most important events of this week, in particular let's talk about the use of drones as tools for organizing political murders, but the key topic of our conversation is different interpretations in the so-called peace plans, and of course we will analyze what our enemy is preparing. today's guests from zahid studio are mark fagin and daniel frith. now the legendary american diplomat, former coordinator of the united states state department on sanctions policy, a person who can be called the flesh of american

diplomacy, will be on the air of the tv channel. glory to ukraine, mr. ambassador frith, good to see you. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. well, the key story is the huge election drama in the united states. so we understand that there was an extremely important replacement of the main candidate from the democrats, we in ukraine sympathize with the democratic camp, of course, far from all and we cannot express this matter publicly, but president joseph biden allowed us to withstand the russian invasion, russian aggression, we appreciate it, yes, but we just don't know what to expect from donald trump, if even we know, we don't like this... story to the end, but in any case, in the united states, races on the front line, activation of the enemy, so in your opinion, what do the ratings show and what will ukrainian politics be like, kemely geris. i don't know

vice president harris very well, but i do know her national security adviser, phil gordon. for several years now, judging by her speeches and what i know about phil gordon, kamal garis in the position of president will continue the support of ukraine from the us. in there is no doubt about that, as vice president kamala harris met with president zelensky days before the full-scale invasion. she attended the munich security conference in 2022 and met him there as well. they also had things in common. meeting later. i will say that this year's speech by garis at the munich security conference is worth re-reading. to me, it fits in with the american tradition of supporting the free world, which president biden has said goes back to harry truman and ronald reagan.

all presidents, with the possible exception of president trump, have followed this strategy, and i'm sure she will. dear mr. ambassador, frith, do you have any? the feeling that everything in the world is so serious that one can seriously wait for the outbreak of the third world war. how interested is iran in what is being called the next stage of world war iii? we understand that some dictatorships, such as the russian one, do not have the opportunity to economically change the rules of the game. they tried to change the rules of the game the world chessboard with the help of weapons and aggression against ukraine. both bogged down in war and, accordingly, the appearance of fundamentally new additional format sites of death, when we talk about the middle east, it can be in the interest of those players who want to change the world system in general, decision-making, and

here we are not talking about any possible new yalta, this is generally about changing the so-called post-yelta world, whether it is good or bad, but we live in it, yes, and when... generally global perturbations, this can lead to consequences similar to those experienced by european and world humanity in 1914-1918 during the first world war. i don't think iran is capable of becoming a global player, because as long as iran is within its current political system, a theocracy, its development... will be stunted, and its industrial and business connections with the outside world will be limited, so iran will be limited to , which will be in the opposition, will supply weapons and drones to russia, as well as help russia and itself avoid sanctions. iran will not

a serious global player due to its economic limitations. you mentioned the new yalta, that is, the international system. so, both the russians and the chinese, and i think the iranians too, at least... if we wanted to see a world in which there are spheres of dominance, russia would have its own sphere, china would have its own, iran would have its own, and countries like ukraine would fall under its influence. or another great state. america, in its years of wisdom, opposed such arrangements. roosevelt agreed in yalta with stalin, but almost immediately regretted it your act harry truman would not have agreed to a soviet sphere of dominance in europe, not over poland or anywhere. therefore, i emphasize that the united states stands for a free and independent ukraine, capable of choosing its friends and its place in the world. russia wants, and the ukrainians know this well, for ukraine to belong to russia,

that is, to completely rule over it. so, we have a clash of two worldviews. the problem with the russian view of the sphere of domination is the complete lack of stability, because russian domination over poland and ukraine would mean poverty, slavery and subjugation for these countries. the poles would not put up with this, the ukrainians would not put up with it either, and they have... every right to do so. the world of empires and spheres of influence is not a stable world. it's an unfair world. this is not a prosperous world. the usa, starting with woodrow wilson, strives and, not without mistakes, tries to promote the idea of ​​a free world system. systems of rules, systems in which smaller countries are protected from aggression by larger ones. we simply know what ended for the whole world what in the united states... did not ratify either the league of nations constitution or the corresponding changes on the european continent as a result of

america's policy of isolationism. hitler came to europe 15 years later. well, now hitler in one or another incarnation came much earlier, so we in ukraine are trying to stop him. mr. ambassador frith, at the same time there are other stories about a possible second peace summit. some or other plans are being heard, in particular those announced by former secretary mike pompeo and so on and so forth, that is, a certain process is underway in russia the federations, for example, are waiting for the most, of course, the american elections, in which trump would win, and then they would start playing four-eyed, yes, vladimir vladimirovich with donald fridrikhovich and so on, and we are also extremely worried about this in ukraine, this this is a negotiating point. how do you rate it now? it's good that you mentioned mike pompeo's plan, because you've probably come to the conclusion

that there are different views within what i would call trump world. trump himself often advocates the division of the world like yaltinsky, for the distribution of spheres of influence, where he and putin will simply agree at the expense of such a country as ukraine. however, there are other personalities in trump's world who advocate more. reaganite, so to speak, policy and greater support for ukraine. michael pompeo's article in the wall street journal, in my opinion, was an attempt to influence trump's world to support ukraine and move in a more reaganite direction. there are many things i disagree with in mike pompeo's article, and yet let's ask ourselves if his plan overall is a useful and effective approach to ukraine? i will answer that it is quite possible. i repeat that i don't agree with everything, but that's not the point, the point is that mike

pompeo is pushing back on supporting ukraine, which makes him closer to the biden administration than he himself would like to admit. however, it suits me. in trump's world, there are debates about these issues. i think it would be very good if representatives of the ukrainian government, the polish government, and all the governments in europe, would reach out to the people in trump's world and try. to convince them that it is ukraine's business - this is also our business. the success of ukraine will also mean the success of the united states. so i think you've made a very good point about pompeo's plan. his article is not the only one, and yet it is much better than the plan proposed by general keith kellogg, the starting point of which is a cease-fire on the current front lines, plus a us promise that ukraine will never join... nato, without a doubt, is a much weaker position, so i think pompeo's starting point is much better, but

it's only a discussion, trump can win on election, or maybe not, but it's good to see that in trump's world some are still advocating for, shall we say , a reaganite road map. of course, sanctions are not enough. the key story is forcing russia to sit down at the transition table and change certain parameters. which they constantly escalate, that is, all their negotiations are reduced to their ultimatums, and this means that they are not ready, and they hope that during this winter they will cause our people simply unspeakable pain and suffering, and after that, of course, they hope that ukraine will become more lenient, different signals are received when many politicians say that everything depends on the ukrainian people, and when i hear this, i understand that it is to a certain extent pharisaism and cunning, so this history is

the history of all civilized humanity, repulse of russia. ukrainian aggression with all the available possible resources, but we see that this is not completely successful, i cannot understand how to explain it, yes, because we in ukraine have now started the month of august, and we are already living and trying to understand what awaits us this one winter i agree that the democratic free world should increase economic pressure on russia and increase military aid to ukraine by ... intensifying the provision of weapons and lifting restrictions on their use. in my opinion, ukraine should be limited in the use of weapons only by the laws of war, which are mandatory for all civilized countries. but there should be no additional restrictions other than that. we should help ukraine and put more pressure on russia. as you

said, this could change putin's negotiating calculations. now he is also waiting. elections in the usa, he may think that he will be able to negotiate with trump on a better deal for him. we can only assume, but it is possible that he is counting on this. if we increase the pressure on russia, if ukraine continues to successfully defend its territory and inflict heavy losses on the russians, if ukraine is able to continue strategic attacks on russian facilities and with the help of air defense means, limit the impact. russian strategic attacks on the ukrainian energy system, then the situation for ukraine can to improve ukraine has never refused negotiations. at the beginning of the summer, she held a rather successful peace summit in switzerland. russia, as you say, is not interested in serious negotiations, it puts forward demands

that are deliberately too categorical to be taken seriously, but everything can change. we are free. the world should do what depends on us, and then we will see. i do not rule out any negotiations, but it is certainly not the americans who should tell the ukrainians what and when to do. there is a proposal from mike pompeo that we with you spoke, well, there was a phrase about a five hundred billion loan lease for ukraine, we understand that it sounds very convincing, especially in ukraine, there... billions of dollars for armaments and so on and so forth, but there are also the realities of the united states , yes? how do you see the situation with the biden lendlease and what would the situation be, for example, with the trump lendlease or with some other lendlease. we understand that six months ago we were going through an extremely extremely

terrible situation, because we did not have the resources and the money for these resources. by. situation improved, but, but this is war, war always devours and burns money. pompeo proposed lendlis, in part because trump and some in his circle said we should lend ukraine money, not fund its defense just like that. now i think that supporting ukraine by giving it money for defense and giving it weapons for defense is in american interests. i support this position'. but i also prefer to receive a loan under the label "lend" than to have no help at all. so i think that's what mike pompeo means it. there is an additional source of support for ukraine, which is about $300 billion in frozen russian assets. many europeans oppose the transfer of these

funds, so they agreed to use the interest on this amount, which will accrue in 20 years. and this is almost 50 billion dollars to help ukraine, and it is quite solid, it is a really good step. and i think that the details are being worked out right now, despite the fact that ukraine currently does not have access to the rest of these frozen finances, i am sure that the pressure will gradually increase. after all, i believe that the support of ukraine from the usa and europe will be continued, as it should be, because it is in the interests. freedom, it's in america's interest, and i think it's in europe's interest as well. plan b, in any situation there should be a plan b and a plan c. i do not believe that, for example, donald trump will become president, but i cannot rule it out, and we understand that our friends on the european

continent are also serious are preparing, but we understand that france alone, or germany alone, their willingness to support ukraine will not be enough, because this is history it's not even just about money, it's a story about human resources, and i'd really like to make that project a success. sect, which 100 years ago in 1920 put the bolsheviks literally on the verge of survival, it is about the polish-ukrainian security alliance, in simple language, the pact between petliura and pilsutsky, yes, unfortunately, it was not completed, and we understand that the fault in this is not even only those or other political elites, it was a great fatigue after the first world war. everyone wanted to end the wars as soon as possible, including the polish one the national democracy also actively implemented its other plan. i believe that

polish-ukrainian friendship and union are of crucial importance for the security of both countries and for europe as a whole. we can go back to the 17th century, when the inability of poland and the zaporizhian sich to cooperate ultimately worked in moscow's favor. poland was and is a faithful and consistent friend of ukraine. the poles are persistently pushing the american government and the biden administration to provide aid to ukraine. they do this both publicly and privately. special ambassador of poland to ukraine, pavel koval is a longtime supporter of polish-ukrainian friendship. he has been friends with ukraine for many, many years. and there are many such poles across the political spectrum. between poland. and ukraine, there are historical issues, but you are absolutely right that pilsutski and petliura understood the need for close cooperation between poland and ukraine. this

need remains relevant to this day, and not only in the name of our own national interests, but also in the interests of european security and the entire free world. that's why i think that this tradition should be remembered and followed. question, dear mr. ambassador, do you generally see the light at the end of the tunnel, as they say in ukraine? how this war will end is unknown, but there is a well-founded prospect of relative success for ukraine. if ukraine can hold its territory, limit russian gains to a minimum, and achieve very high losses for russia, this would indicate the potential for success if... ukraine can continue and intensify its strategic attacks on russian military targets, and if it can limit the effectiveness of russian strategic attacks on ukrainian

targets, this will also indicate the potential for success. ukraine manages to practice successful attacks, especially on russian facilities in crimea. if she can maintain this momentum and if the event gives her the support she needs, there is a chance. the prospect that russia will not be able to continue its war in ukraine. the minister of foreign affairs of poland stated that in two years russia's potential may decrease, although this is a long time and a difficult prospect. and yet it is potential result. are you asking about the light at the end of the tunnel? yes, the road to it is not easy, but it is there. are there other options? yes, there is. we in the west, the united states and europe, have the opportunity to influence. on the result, if we do our work and support ukraine as much as possible. if we put pressure on russia and give ukraine

the weapons it needs, it could make putin either unwilling or unable to continue the war. it is not for me, as an american, to dictate what ukraine should do, instead, it is ukrainians who will have to make these decisions. by the way, i believe that the future. ukraine should be in nato to prevent russia from agreeing on a ceasefire, and then regrouping its troops and attacking ukraine again. it is quite possible that ukraine will emerge from this war as a free, independent country, a part of greater europe and a member of nato. could russia be defeated in its attempt to conquer ukraine, which could have a profound and beneficial effect on russia itself? so you ask, or? there is light at the end of the tunnel, i answer: yes, but there is a thorny path ahead, the tunnel is long and difficult, and you, without any experts

, know this, but i see a reasonable one. thank you very much, mr. ambassador fried, for this extremely important conversation for all of us, i would like to remind our tv viewers that ambassador daniel frith, ex-coordinator of the united states department of state for sanctions policy, an iconic american diplomat, was currently working on espresso. there are discounts until independence day for 20% on bacyn in the pharmacies psyllanyk bam and oschad. there are 25% discounts on edem in pharmacies until independence day traveller, bam and savings. there are discounts until independence day on essential forte m 10% in pharmacies plantain, you and save. every week

mark fegin, a member of the russian opposition to emigration, a well-known video blogger, ex-detat of the state duma, glory to ukraine, mark, glad to see you, will be working on the tv channel now. glory to the heroes, i am glad to welcome all the viewers, congratulations anton. the attack on ilya ponomarev, so we understand that the enemy used shakhet this time, and accordingly, this immediately raises many questions. perhaps alludes to many answers when we talk about the so-called strange arrivals, and of course, this can apply not only to the current situation, to the near future, but in any case, the kremlin has taken a note of water and is not saying anything about it. as for the assassination attempt on ilya panomerev, it was completely predicted, among the people whom the kremlin would like to destroy, and with the help of russian emigrants, oppositionists

and... moro occupies an honorable place, and he is not the only one, there are several others, and there is operational information provided by the services that provide the project, which are actively looking for ways to destroy some effective part of the russian opposition abroad, regarding some number people know this, it’s not a secret, especially since drones have already flown to ilya ponomarev’s house in the kyiv region, it’s hard for me to say anything about the technical side, maybe the kyiv region is more difficult to cover with air defense means, kyiv itself is like that, but to run away from... strikes on kyivska region, the resources may not be enough, and the danger is higher there, but ponomarov's address was not a secret, drones, shaheds or gran-2, as they are called, have already flown there, so this is not news, there is something else, as far as i understand, he arrived in kyiv spent the night at home, they could have informed some agency that he was in the house, i know that he was in america, and the drone is sent when they want to kill a specific person, and not destroy the building, so

they quickly receive some information from some agency, maybe in kyiv, to me ilya ponomarov is writing just now, so i think that most likely there will be such attempts in the future, wherever possible, at a distance, with the help of drones, and somewhere there will be attempts to kill some people will be sent, what is important here, it would seem, why would you kill him, what is the danger of him or others, this is a completely wrong assessment, they do not assess from the point of view of specific dangers arising from a political leader, they... it is necessary to demonstrate to everyone that you will not engage in such things, support ukraine, contribute to the russian union, oppose putin, like his enemies, to spread information about what moscow is producing in ukraine and not only, it needs to be demonstrated, this is the main goal, not a specific danger from an individual person, as well as some kind of danger from navalny, especially when he was in there was no prison, but his...
