a way out of this situation, what way out should the ukrainian government look for? ukrainian politicians are talking about the fact that these officials should be suspended for a while. in ukraine, she met with many officials. i understand that in the administration, that is, in the office of the president, of course, and at the local levels of government, and she sees how it is not very effective from her point of view. aid, how is it distributed within ukraine itself? the agency told you all in its last statement yesterday that it was trying to spread this information in some way in its closed circles, but now

the time has come. requires, in her opinion, to make this information public right now and of course i can agree with mr. yehor that american taxpayers should know where this power is directed because every america well if he will use it ineffectively and we we see how in some cases, let's say in the same afghanistan, how did the aid to the afghan government end last year, when the americans actually had to successfully leave this country and then the question arises how this aid was used, such a situation is impossible and should not be allowed now. that what is at stake now is not just any regional conflict; now there is a general civilizational struggle

of the western world, to which ukraine has now actually joined the totalitarian putin regime and er, in general, it is ukraine's struggle for its survival , so it is worth listening, and when they say that this aid will only er be stalled for some time, mrs. spas says no, on the contrary, it is precisely the effective mechanism of control over this american money that will be created, it will help to speed up, well at least this is the opinion, i agree with it, you know. i want to say that we started with the fact that we have a very emotional reaction, mostly now it is negative towards victoria sparz, the last statement in particular, but i, it seems to me that maybe we, i thought, maybe we just mistakenly perceive ms. spartz as such because of her origin, i don’t know what

ukrainian politics is like, and deputies of the verkhovna rada are like that, and accordingly we transfer to her what we are used to seeing from ukrainian politicians and whether it is is not your own wrong, or shouldn't you just understand that for the united states, people like yarmak, like tatarov, would definitely be too toxic a weight for the government and the spartans, being, after all, ukrainian by origin and accordingly, not only a patriot of america, but also a person who does not care about the fate of ukraine, and on the other hand, she will also be a republican, and it is obvious there that this also determines the circle of her meetings , for example, in the united states, and even more so in ukraine, with whom she meets and those people, in turn affect the vision of what is happening in ukraine processes well and accordingly well, it seems to me that we expect from her on the one hand some meanness that we attribute to our politicians very often fairly and on the other hand we expect

from a non-absolute understanding of the processes in ukraine, isn't this a wrong approach in principle , perhaps mr. yehor. in my opinion, it should be perceived that victoria is primarily an american politician, and when yesterday in an interview with a european radio station, she said the words of your country, your president is all quite right and victoria sparz is a republican yes but you should not identify this republican party with donald trump and there are different politicians within this political party and it is worth working with different by politicians in ukraine and that is exactly why well, that is, you should not think that if a person is ukrainian by origin , he owes something to our state, and i think that the main lesson that we can learn from

this whole history is that it is important for ukraine to work with different by politicians regardless of their party affiliation. well, if she is a republican, that is understandable, and a few more words about how to actually act now, mr. voytkov believes that it is necessary to suspend these officials in time and send them into temporary retirement attention yarmak and tatarov for the time being, the investigation is for the time being until this discussion subsides and finds some logical way out, all points above will not be presented and what is your vision of how the ukrainian authorities should act wisely, please. i agree with mr. yaroslav, what is important suspend those people in respect of whom e-e proposed to conduct an investigation and check victoria spars for a certain time and i would

like to note here that the statement of mr. nikiforov, the presenter of the president, it was essentially the first public statement after february 24, it is also about which shows that this issue is very important and so urgent for the ukrainian authorities, and the removal of these persons will contribute to the establishment of a dialogue. will remain. but in my opinion, only suspension for the duration of the investigation and verification will make it possible to objectively find out the issues raised by victoria sparti, which were previously raised by other american and european politicians, meanwhile, the administration of president joe biden, e.e., the president of the united states, is discussing the possible cancellation of the ban on the sale of

offensive weapons by america to saudi arabia. other western countries to turn to saudi arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, with a request to increase production to compensate for the reduction in supplies from russia, meanwhile, the president himself of the united states said that his upcoming visit to saudi arabia is of strategic importance in washington's confrontation with moscow and beijing . he wrote about this in the sun for the washington post. caused by russia's war against ukraine, yaroslav, what can we expect from biden's trip to the all-udevian arabia, and will there be a necessary component to strengthen the positions that play against our

victory, it should be noted that mr. biden will first fly to israel tomorrow and spend two days in israel and will meet not only with the current and former israeli leadership, but also with representatives of the palestinian administration, and the israeli side hopes that from tel aviv or from jerusalem, where the embassy is currently located in the united states, and which will not be transferred back to toluene, as it was before trump's presidency, from israel, there will be a beautiful message. is it nice? peaceful to the saudi arabia, he will bring with him to a meeting with mahabed ibsen sarman, the principle of saudi arabia, of course, the american side of the american leadership has many claims, first of all, to human rights, the situation with human rights in saudi

arabia. we remember this absolutely terrible incident in 2018 in the year er there is a study and there is evidence that the er american journalist of saudi origin er phashogi was killed in the istanbul consulate of er saudi arabia , that is, on the territory of istanbul consulates and er these things and let's say that such repressions against saudi women continue. 81 people were executed this year in march because they allegedly chose to participate in some protests er against the current leadership, but er there are still some kind of real policy in the sense that with all those claims

that remain against the saudi side, there is a need to really get the saudi leadership to increase oil production in order to really oppose the possibility of undermining the russian economy, which will then be will be able to use this aggression against ukraine to a lesser extent, and in addition, there is such an item on the agenda in the saudi visit of biden, which is the search for weapons for the ukrainian army, which can be used directly by the ukrainian in-laws directly on the battlefield because they know how to use it instead of possibly mastering new american weapons and besides, it will be cheaper if it is

actually a weapon it will be old cheaper the only one so that it is really effective on the battlefield and not like now, let's say. the same russians also have tanks from the 6250s, having already used their latest weapons, they are now throwing them against ukraine, that is, there is an option to involve the countries of the persian gulf, not only the western countries, but not only the big seven, not only the nato countries on more realistic help for if the american president manages to fulfill these tasks at least partially, it will be very good for ukraine. well, let's listen to the opinion of mr. yehor brail regarding the actual prospects of the president's middle east tour what can the usa expect and what will it be possible to achieve, in your opinion, for byte came to power at the beginning of

last year it was quite important to end the war in yemen, which has been going on for the 14th year, what is the essence of the fact that the government is a state in me that is supported by saudi arabia and the posit rebels, who are supported by ira, are fighting against it, and therefore for biden, the end of this crooked war, which has been going on for eight years and the result of which were 150,000 victims, among whom 14,000 are joint, it is important and, in fact, biden blocked it for a long time the provision of weapons to saudi arabia due to violations of human rights and food murders, and now everyone understands that it is necessary to form a new cooperation of judicial arabia, which has been a sign in the united states since the 50s, and i think that this tour will allow you to

get new weapons, or rather soviet weapons weapons are old for ukraine, which will actually help us counter the russians, i.e. in the usa. now they are already demanding from the allies to provide assistance to ukraine in the same way. ukraine wants to do so indirectly, and i think that for biden’s sake the regulation of many issues with israel of the institute of hrabiv, it is critically important and we should not forget about the iran factor, which will not disappear anywhere , and for the united states, effective countermeasures against iran as the main threat to us promocodes did not want to go anywhere. and we remember the stories with trump, when the nuclear the agreement with iran and something went wrong in the negotiations in vienna and for bai the middle east is the region that should become a

success story because the end of the yemeni war and many other controversial points of the conflict may mean that joseph baydy is an active president on the other hand, currently the support of bytes within the country is not so significant, somewhere around 26%. and after afghanistan last year, it is now quite important for the leadership from the usa to avoid similar mistakes now, i would like andrii to have biden in israel also talk about air defense systems for ukraine, in particular, from the israelis we would need anti-missile david streel's slingshot system, yes, and from the united states, patriots, so there is a lot to talk about, as it seems to me, there are actually a lot of certification, the washington post published an article before that, but i was also serious,

for example, the vrest journal, many very american media directly appeal to authoritative politicians, er, editors, so that he stops, rejected these hesitations, as they say, or fears, and everyone insists that ukraine should get enough offensive state-of-the-art weapons, such as gamers, for example . a big window that remains until the onset if uh well, just in late autumn. do you think this is an event for biden himself because he should have gone there and asked for the remains of soviet weapons, an important decision of the united states. they have the keys to actually open the door for of the widespread offensive of the

ukrainian armed forces well, let's say that we are talking about this in e-e before the fourth meeting of the account group on the defense of ukraine, which in the rammstein format will take place online on july 20, which was reported in the results of the re- in the results negotiations between the ministry of defense of the united states and ukraine in the pentagon, yaroslav, let's start this block with you, we have literally one and a half minutes for a comment, in fact , we can count on this support from the israeli side, what arguments will biden use, what arguments will ukrainian diplomacy use in order to to tempt or induce the israeli side to provide us with the necessary weapons. well, this is precisely the skill of both american and ukrainian diplomacy, and as far as biden himself is concerned, biden's determination. i think that it will

to be determined by what the american people who elected him to this position will say to him and what his military and the establishment will say to him what will the head of the joint chiefs of staff mark miley who by the way is in a very good contacts with our commander-in-chief valery zaluzhny and whatever it may be, and we already talked in the previous segment about whether weapons for ukraine are being delayed and i think that these two military commanders are the ones who solve these issues more promptly and although this weapon may arrive with a certain delay, it arrives, so let's hope that the entire american administration and congress are united in helping ukraine in this situation, including me, because one of the

goals of the visit in order to attract not only the big seven , and not only nato, but also most of the countries of the world to help ukraine, mr. igor, very briefly , will the biden administration be determined to ensure the ukrainian victory, i think it will be decided there and it will depend on activity of ukrainian diplomacy, as well as from public organizations, and for me such a game changer will be the fact that the usa will succeed in slandering israel and helping ukraine with bfpbo systems and at the same time when the usa will provide ukraine with modern aircraft, in particular f-15f-16, i will remind you that in june, in particular, they visited the ukrainian washington pilots talked with american contestants, one of them is adam kinzinger, he is a former pilot himself, and then it was agreed that training of ukrainian pilots on american models would begin

we thank our international experts yehor brailyan , columnist and yaroslav voytko, diplomat and international expert, were our guests and right now we are moving on. on the topic of lithuania and we are joined by petras austriavishu from the lithuanian mp and the head of the group friends of european ukraine and the european parliament eh mr. five raz- good day good morning i actually wanted to ask eh let's talk about this e-e transit to kaliningrad with goods e-e and including e-e under sanctions and-e and this is a difficult question and in your opinion why is he so

important why is it so important here he will not allow relaxation of russia to make some kind of concession . and threatened and demands and that's how much we will support in principle or accept such a thing eh i would say a way of seeing eh a conversation with russia so eh tinctures we will be ourselves and evaluate eh it is very important in such a way i would say eh political eh psychological plan a secondly, this is

russia's request to start such an information war, and such an exclamation of emotions, demands, decorated, and so yes, it is connected with simple but very important demands russia and russia wants to do everything possible so that the sanctions policy of the european union would be shaken so that discussions would begin as to how effective one can be, you don't need to use it eh see here we are facing problems in this or that eh hm sector and so on transit is a question of transit - this is definitely a question of territorial sovereignty of lithuania lithuania will control what is connected with national

security interests and so on. no questions and not even a seat will be it we will solve uh- uh , re. about this, here is the famous gas turbines, turbines that should already arrive from canada to germany, this is also related to it. so, we see a whole series of movements and actions from russia that are aimed at one price well , professor uzhgorodsky was visiting us today the university of kotory is now fighting in the kharkiv direction, not far from the raisin. fyodor

shander said that we are now faced with the issue . that is precisely in eastern europe, in the baltic countries , new leaders of the european future are being formed in poland, and these will be baltic poles. ukrainian bears who will dictate the political agenda, mr. petros, first of all, we admire the man of lithuanians, thank you for your support for solidarity in the face of common threats, and let's let's say that since the tenth of july or two , the list of prohibited goods for transit to leningrad has expanded, and these additional goods , which are prohibited for transit, include concrete, wood , alcohol. sanctions that limited the transit between

russia and the kaliningrad region and then it was 40-50 percent of production, now this percentage has increased and the russian government is natural and suffers from lithuania's decision and sanctions and the beginning threats that actually push the european union to a more moderate er moderate view of this question. perhaps there can be exceptions there if it comes to a transition through the territory of the eu from one region to another, but we see that lithuania does not accept such arguments and here how were these new restrictions perceived from july 10, are they accompanied by additional threats from the russians and how, in principle, are these threats perceived by lithuanian politicians and society, you know, i have to say one very important thing when this story began, it began a few days before june 17, when suddenly in moscow

they began to shout that you know this is a boycott eh and a complete closure of eh kaliningrad. it breaks and is not closed and is not isolated because all other streams are goods that are sanctioned . a complete lie and er, i would say a stock disinformation, but she went, she went, yes, they sent her , they all sent her as if they wanted to create such a vision, you know, look, what are these europeans doing to us, that is, they isolate us, they spit on us, and they do not want to we are even talking . so, this was the first, but it is very important that

the discussion that started in lithuania after these things. i would say critical ones and such things. even very emotional ones declared by er russia, we have started er very active discussion er many experts expressed свое менение е общество was fully informed by е about various aspects е-е i would say е-е transit and our е-е remaining economic relations with russia which are decreasing with great speed yes and е-е so that е-е this it was very good that the society was informed and it was very clear. i would say in principle that we cannot play around here and think that some of these sectoral economic interests can be the main ones when making this decision with sides

of the vilsa, that is, we must look at more serious strategic things, like the aggression of russia against ukraine, like our strategic national interests, that's why this excitement is such a society and an active discussion, i think even brussels helped some experts to understand what you know here is not technical the questions here are basically political questions that someone in brussels tried to provide, as a technical person, you know here, how uh, from the territory to the territory, as olaf scholz said, yes, uh, uh, the german chancellor, what is this? travel between the two territories of russia, excuse me. well, what kind of territory between these so-called russian territories is the european union? and what is this

territory ? how would this question be suspended, er, i don't think it's closed, by the way, i don't think it's closed, it can return to the agenda, probably not in july or august, because probably the most experts in the european commission have come to the conclusion that it's already the incompetence of the european commission is already the competence of the countries of the european union, that is, at the level of the leaders of the countries of the european union, so i will move that this discussion can still get a peculiar twist in september or later in august, but for today i think that this question they restored it and did it well, so it turned out well, it remains, but i will ask anyway, eh , president zelensky signed

a document that gives some preferences to polish citizens, for example, when working in ukraine, interruptions and so on, according to your opinion shouldn't there be something similar, for example, for the lithuanians, who seem to me to be even more helpful than the poles from the very beginning ? - this was a copy of the fact that it sits here, that is, it’s not like you, is it not there, and where exactly could we get closer to uh , more, i have to say that ukraine and yours are united by uh, strategic partnership, historical understanding, and probably european responsibility as we understand it, european culture is therefore very serious. i hope that this decree that was signed regarding the

poles will be expanded by europeans because many countries help to do this unselfishly because we believe in it and we will believe in it until victory. этом уверенно thank you mr. petrosya thank you to the citizens of lithuania for the unmanned aerial vehicle bayraktar, for which all the citizens who arrived in ukraine collected money, are already in use in the armed forces that's why they almost compete in fundraising for the ukrainian army, this is a huge manifestation of friendship and unity. we thank our friends. on the news and our colleague iryna koval is ready to present a fresh issue from the espre editorial office, we will return after the news release thank you maria yes
