ukraine i was born here and i want to live here we work with faith in ukraine we will fight we will resettle we will win and shield news together we are strong greetings everyone you are watching the marathon the only news is now working for you the team of the public channel of the first studio anatoliy yarema next we will talk about international support for ukraine in the war with russia us president joseph biden made the ukrainian authorities obsolete from the third minsk agreements, what this could mean in the relations between our countries and whether the preparation for the parliamentary meetings will affect the rhetoric and assistance of the white house congressional elections in the fall, we will find out from mykola hrytskovyana, director of the ukraine-us relations center, mykola i welcome you to the broadcast of the marathon, the only news

, so, why? what do you think, the president of the united states made such a statement with such a caveat that the ukrainian government does not go to the third minsk agreements. what do you think? what were the reasons for the american president to make this statement? you know the reasons are such that america almost american aid is the largest that can be counted , how many weapons went to ukraine because financial aid came to ukraine and so on , how to compare it with other countries of the world, we see that the amount is staggering from america just a

few weeks ago the congress approved 40 billion dollars of aid to ukraine. this is ukraine now receives the largest part of foreign aid, and from the united states it is more than israel, and historically israel received the most financial support and military support from the united states of the states now, ukraine is in the first place. and this is to some extent an investment. hey, in other countries, they inoculate in the ear of the president of biden - these are countries such as germany, france, italy, and he says, listen, we need to agree with the russians, let ukraine give up territories and the like, and america is one hundred percent stands behind ukraine and if ukraine

, uh, left, if western europe broke ukraine , as they tried to break the previous president with the minsk agreements, how is it, how will they be, how will they break ukraine again with that the new minsk, minsk 3, then it will be a loss for the united states in the combination . ukraine has 100% of the united states behind its shoulders. so, you think that the actions of the

ukrainian authorities do not give grounds, but the actions of the western partners of france, germany, and italy are the basis for such a warning. in particular taking into account the fact that the leaders of these countries are planning a visit to ukraine this week, did i understand you correctly, as i see it, as i see this report in the press in the ukrainian press that those three leaders are coming just on the eve of the meeting where they are supposed to discuss should there be an announcement whether ukraine will be a candidate for the eeu and so on? immediately i thought that they had already come to persuade the ukrainian government to make some compromises, saying that you will give up the territory, there will be a truce, and we

, and you, will get some level there, some level there apply because they don’t even want to provide a full candidate to ukraine and i and i, it immediately came to my mind and then i continued to read and watch the ukrainian press and ukrainian television and i am not the only one of the opinion that they came to try to break president zelenskyi over the knees, but i can say here that over the past few years, since president zelensky was elected, he did not allow himself to be broken, over the knees, he defended this pressure that came from france and germany, and now he is considered a draft and the current world and from the side of the ukrainian government. in general, there are no signals that ukraine is ready

to give up territory in order to support a compromise, not vice versa. the state that you spoke about in particular is ensured by the unity of both houses of congress and republicans and democrats in the congress will elect new deputies to the new parliamentarians in the fall in the united states of america what do you think? this is the war in ukraine, this support, the new configurations in the congress can somehow affect the further support of the united states of ukraine, well, now, this is the support for this

, the laws have been passed. i don't want something. i'm not a psychic, so i don't know what will happen in the fall. it can happen in different ways . it can happen a little too early to make any predictions like this. and there is a general forecast that the republics will uh take control of the palace, but this it is not, it is not 100%. okay, it was says or where some republican voted against the provision of that aid and we don’t read much and even i heard it myself and some representatives of the republican party, especially conservatives, that you know that ukraine is a european matter, it is not an american matter and similar and there is a little fear that if the republics take over the chamber,

they can change this support, there will be enough of those strong right-wingers who will be against that help, but here you also have to remember that america has a very strong electoral block and where are the europeans, there are 30 million votes, these are ukrainians, poles, croats, czechs, slovaks, romanians - these are the baltics, these are all those peoples or natives of those countries where they know that this is russia and the russian peace, and they know because they have experienced it and this blog is very, very strongly pro-ukrainian, there were even predictions that because of this, the republican party's hesitancy regarding aid to ukraine could affect the fact that they would not take the majority in

the house of representatives, and here electoral politics is very, very important. keep a close eye on er the course of these elections, in particular. thank you for your expert analysis, comments, director of the ukraine-us relations center, mykola hrytskovyan was live with us, they talked about the support of the united states of america to ukraine in the war against russia, well, let 's move on to other topics er, russia must realize that its use of nuclear weapons will have consequences , the member of the european parliament and former minister of foreign affairs of poland, radoslaw sikorsky, said in an interview with the public that, according to him, providing ukraine with nuclear warheads is about something sikorsky said the other day is one of the options for

how the world could react. according to the former minister, poland also feels threatened by russia, does it have real tools to deter russian president putin, and is the international community ready to contribute to the defeat of russia in ukraine ? other equally important things from rodoslav sikorsky - our colleague olena kremovska asked. i congratulate you on the public. i would like to start with your recent statement, you said that the west has the right to transfer nuclear warheads to ukraine after inspection to the fact that russia has violated the budapest memorandum

, frankly speaking, it is difficult to imagine that this could happen, please explain how you see it . the russian federation threatens the whole world with its nuclear arsenal, in particular nato and ukraine. one gets the impression that nuclear weapons have become a kind of idol for russia, a symbol of its imperial power and ability to violate international rules with impunity, sometimes it is useful to remind the russian authorities that nato is also a nuclear alliance , of course russia betrayed not only ukraine but also other signatories of the budapest memorandum, this is budapest of the memorandum in accordance with the budapest memorandum , ukraine promised to respect its independence and

the inviolability of its borders, which were assurances and not guarantees, but the point is not how to call it, the point is that ukraine was promised the borders it inherited from the soviet union, and russia brazenly violated this promise, so the other signatories agreements are obliged to help ukraine defend its independence and protect its borders. we also know that in russia they are talking about the use of nuclear weapons, because they are even conducting training with its use is much more frequent than in the west, we do not conduct military exercises that involve the use of nuclear weapons on the battlefield, they conduct, of course, part of the memorandum

was the accession of ukraine to the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons if russia violated this treaty by using it on the territory of another state or even on the battlefield then we would find ourselves in a new reality and as president biden noted in his article in the new york times edition there will be consequences and one of these consequences may be that of what i said do you see that nato would be ready to consider such an idea not now but if russia used nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear state that gave up nuclear weapons i think we all mean the whole world would be so shocked that we thought b how to answer this i

think it is useful for the russian leadership to know that we also have options when we talk about the fact that russia all the time hints at the possible use of nuclear weapons or do you think this threat is realistic, which could become a trigger for that for russia to do this, if they were so crazy to invade ukraine, it cannot be ruled out that they could be so crazy to use nuclear weapons, especially if they lose defender to you, as you know. they have a doctrine of protecting russian territory with the help of nuclear weapons, and they define crimea as the territory of russia in the beginning was a word and the word became flesh

, we know that the russians are constantly talking among themselves about the use of nuclear weapons, in our opinion it is simply unthinkable, and they think about it precisely because of we are worried about the state of mind of the russian leadership , that is why we are starting to think about how to react to it. do you see that the international community had real tools to restrain putin , in particular, and in the matter of nuclear weapons, the idea i mentioned is precisely one of such tools, i mean to tell the russians in advance that if they do it, we will creatively think how to respond to their expulsion to ukraine over the past 500

years, russia has attacked us several times and the russian military has also threatened nuclear weapons, you can check it on the internet, these threats were so blatant and persistent that once, during a visit to moscow as the minister of foreign affairs, i had to ask the russian general staff to threaten us with a nuclear holocaust, most often once a quarter, after that they quieted down, i reacted to your words about nuclear warheads for ukraine, he said that you are quoting provoking a nuclear conflict in the center of europe , there was also the reaction of the spokeswoman for the russian foreign ministry , sakharova, who said that you are putting quoting under attack the polish people who are being drawn into the nuclear division of the world, maybe mrs. zakharova has not completely

sobered up but i have to say that i have completely opposite intentions. i want the russians to realize that the use of nuclear weapons will not pass without consequences, this should deter them from the very thoughts of their use eu countries equally support ukraine, especially this concerns the supply of heavy weapons, if you could explain it because of the fear of russia in some countries, or why would i say that the opposite is the absence of fear in front of russia, the countries

that are closest to russia help you the most, that is, those that feel threatened, while france or germany feel safe because they are surrounded by friendly european states and they are not afraid that the russians will come after them because of the structural problem that two the largest european countries feel the most secure, we heard from french president macron that russia cannot be humiliated. according to your observations, do many countries in the eu share this opinion and can it be decisive in how the eu sees the end of this war iryna alchemical humiliation is a subjective feeling i believe that it would be good for ukraine, europe and russia itself if russia lost because we know that historical reforms or revolutions

take place in russia only after the lost crimean war - the japanese first world war, i don't think that putin's encouragement of aggression against ukraine will contribute to peace, in my opinion, it will lead to escalation, because we know what putin wants to do, he will want to seize territory, regroup during several months or years and then start a war again, so the best way to achieve peace and say goodbye to russia's neo-imperialist project is to make russia lose in ukraine, is the international community ready for russia to lose, because sometimes it seems that the world is afraid that russia will lose" . ukrainians are receiving an unprecedented wave

of sympathy and i want to be frank with you i was frank with you in 2014 just before the war started and i continue to demonstrate my friendship with ukraine by remaining frank the event was made for of ukraine more than i expected if six months ago you asked me what the west would do i would have said well disable the swift system but i did not expect that we would freeze russian foreign reserves in half youth i did not expect that the european union for the first time in history would finance the purchase of weapons i did not expect that the united states will prepare a $40 billion aid package it will take time for the money and equipment to reach the front lines but the process has begun and the aid is significant this is

more than poland had in september 1939 or under the time of uprisings against russia in the 19th century three months have already passed since the first full-scale invasion of ukraine by russia under these conditions, when in some places in the west there is already a certain fatigue from the russian-ukrainian war, how to achieve full-fledged practical and political support for ukraine. i was in washington a few weeks ago and talked with high-ranking officials as far as i understand, a lot of weapons promised in particular to the usa are already in ukraine, your soldiers are undergoing training and are preparing to go to the front in the next few weeks, so you

it will take about a month to feel the impact of this aid on the polish people, in particular for accepting ukrainians who are forced to escape from the war, or do i have the correct information, you also sheltered ukrainian refugees in your home, in the house from where i am talking to you now, in the first month we took in two a family of only 10 people, they went further to western europe, now another family lives here, and if it is not a secret where they are from, they are from kyiv . in particular, ukraine and poland are now experiencing an unprecedented upswing in bilateral relations , uh, in the past, there were periodic

disputes between the countries regarding difficult episodes of history, how long do you think this state of affairs will last as neighbors, there are always questions related to the past, the key question is that what we want to do next focus on the past or prevent tragedies in the future i think you feel a lot of solidarity from poland because we feel that you are fighting for yourself and for us and the least we can do is to protect your women and children, that's what we're doing. the next thing we have to do for ukraine is to help you first get the status of a candidate and then i hope to be a member of the eu. now the most urgent thing is to send weapons to ukraine. but in the medium and long term, the most important thing is that poland has fixed its relations with the european union with france and

germany in order to be able to effectively help ukraine during the accession process, this is really the most important thing for the invest representative office in recent years poland has had difficult relations with some eu member countries and also with the eu leadership due to issues related to human rights. what our viewers can remember for sure is the almost complete ban on abortion in poland . the war is now in power in poland, the europhobic nationalist government of the ultra-traditionalist headquarters, its position on ukraine is normal, but you are right, their internal policy is somewhat anti- european, however, next year in poland general elections, i am in the opposition, i hope that we will win and solve these problems with the eu institutions and with some

key eu member states, if we win , thank you very much, mr. sikorskyi, for your time, ukrainian rescuers are dismantling multi-ton rubble in wounded cities and villages, they are doing everything possible and impossible to of fire and pain, a renewed , prosperous and happy ukraine appeared to meet the bright victory with dignity, as our soldiers are getting closer every day unconquered cities of ukraine dnipro, the space capital of ukraine with the longest embankment in europe and the shortest subway was created in the place of cossack

winterers, zaymish and slobid, until the occupation of the hitlers , they all shot from 17 to 21,000 jews in the dnipro after the expulsion of the nazis, remained under the attack of enemy aircraft, but did not stop working for victory, as it does not stop, and now it is the first to meet those fleeing from the war and in spite of everything, it reliably holds the rear of the dnipro people, it's just space, and dnipro is unconquered. our heroes from the past, we admire your struggle, we are grateful to you for your indomitability and independence, fate brings new heroes

, continue your valiant work, honor and glory to those who courageously and fearlessly stops the enemy who gives his life for his native land to those who tell us mykhailo lives in us the invincible spirit of ukrainian heroes of all generations we are fighters fighting for freedom glory ukrainian heroes honor and glory indomitable we prevail we will pass we will win stubble news together we are strong the marathon continues the only news then we will talk with military experts about the course

of hostilities, according to the minister of defense of ukraine oleksiy reznikov, the situation at the front remains difficult, but the ukrainian army is carrying out counter offensives in separate directions earlier, varshikov said that the war may end this year, but what do the enemy's tactics look like now and how to counter them numerically and qualitatively, let's talk with a military expert , a retired captain of the first rank of the us navy, harry tabukh, e-e p stages welcome to the air marathon, if you allow me, i will start with a quote today, the columnist max-bud wrote in the washington post the following words that the battle for donbas will have consequences not only for the future of ukraine, but also for the entire post-war world. the west cannot allow ukraine to lose today in the washington post newspaper around the city,

max bud wrote the following words that the west cannot allow ukraine to lose the battle for donbas because it will have consequences for the entire post-war world , but not only for ukraine. important for the whole world. well, i don't know why the battle for donbass, uh, your defense minister is probably obvious . but yes, with donbass, this is probably because, after all, it is the longest vyka can be with ra
