they will take, well, react now. well, we see from the behavior of the enemy of the leadership's enemy, well, putin , in the first place, that recently they have repeatedly pushed our leadership in order to, uh, start negotiations, this in itself is a very important symptom of the fact that they feel bad for themselves prospects and this is good for us, but we frankly say that in order to start, we need to return to the position of february 24, which they will not go for in such conditions as they are now. therefore, we need to help them in this regard, we need to be effective first in defense, that is, to stop their advance, the puck sets the task of advancing in all directions , and our task of the defensive operation is to stop them along the entire front and force them to move to the defense. if we manage to accumulate strength, first of all, the technique, then

it will be possible to carry out the code of the offensive operation , which is mentioned last sometimes fresh news today from the head office of the royans and their special services have intensified their activities in the countries of eastern europe and are trying to identify and track the routes through which weapons move to ukraine even they are trying to recruit citizens and it was already noted in intelligence that the europeans, having received offers of cooperation from the russians, immediately turn to the police and security agencies. well, what is the enemy's goal here, how far can he go in these attempts to prevent ukraine from receiving weapons from allies, to interrupt supply chains, in particular, if we we are talking about the danger factor from the belarusian direction, mr. igor. how do you look at the prospects in the near future, as i see at least two goals of such actions, firstly, they want to detect

directly, more precisely, and strategically they know the supply routes by brushstrokes. but in order to carry out strikes on these routes, as they have repeatedly talked about this politically, they need a more precise time and place of passage of convoys of railway trains and so on, they conduct such intelligence for the strikes firstly , secondly, they have been actively lately, as we can see , using various representatives in europe, in america, uh, not to mention the so-called specialists who discredited the acquisition of modern weapons by the armed forces of ukraine from the effort, if it

to sell there to the same russians or wherever and however, but to raise the question that the allies spend a lot of money on weapons and not only that, but we, individual representatives there or in the structures of e-e, are trying to sell it and thus discredit the behavior of the e-e armed forces of our ukraine state and disrupt the aid that is being provided, whose at least slow down as far as the belarusians are concerned, they continue to uh-uh, if the maneuvers of which the so-called uh-uh leader is not legitimate, he has been doing this for the last years and so far he manages, well, not to enter the war legally, but their territory known to the russians is being used, their planes already have bases directly on russian

territory on the territory of belarus and if they were to transfer the armed forces of belarus to a military regime and in addition, they would help the russians with weapons and equipment because especially in the field of equipment there are large losses and there is no possibility of a quick recovery of the russians, although they are looking for supplies spare parts and using different ways of smuggling and help of secret allies thank you mr. igor igor romanenko retired lieutenant general deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in 2006-10 was in touch with us via skype and right now we are moving on to the next question of the next important topic. and the ambassador plenipotentiary of ukraine is already in touch with the attack of

volodymyr, congratulations, congratulations, e-e, i congratulate you, mrs. maria , i congratulate you, mr. vitaly, i am glad to see you. that they really agreed or agreed at all, is there any information from the russian side, as they say that all our demands have been met, is there any information from the turkish side that an agreement may be signed soon, the ukrainian side, as far as i remember, did not give any such specific comments. and i would like to understand what is all about here it is possible to agree on something like this, i don't know, to be honest, what can be agreed on, but most likely, they are now starting to put some diplomatic pressure on us so that we agree to the conditions that we already have offered to issue it for the fact that, well, it is said to be a joint position, the un will still have to be involved here, and then we will be left alone against three players

, eh, i think that is exactly what it is about, eh, because eh, and you are right about it they said that so far the ukrainian side has not made any explanations or notifications, so we cannot say that everything has already been done . well, the other day minister kuleba said that we are two steps before solving the issue, well, you know, the last steps are the most usually in difficult negotiations, that's why i think about what to say about what literally in a few days, in two or three days, the issue will be resolved, i think this is a certain exaggeration. if we talk about pushing for peace, we see that there is actually a lot of unknowns and they are trying to analyze it, not a variety of publications, including our colleagues from the bbc tried to evaluate this in some way, they say

that the grain agreement itself is indisputably good news, but the agreement on the unblocking of the black sea or some kind of broader peace agreement are very different things and it is difficult to imagine any compromises or a solution that really satisfied everyone here, it is impossible to reach a compromise, that is why the hostilities will continue, this is the assessment of the correspondent of the bbc join water, well, at the same time, even in the grain agreement itself, there are certain points that we can analyze, in particular, diplomacy says that a plan was discussed in istanbul about that that ships with grain will be accompanied by ukrainians who will pave the way through mined onboard waters, according to the plan, russia must agree to a truce during the movement of cargo, and turkey with the support of the un will inspect ships, in particular ukrainian ones, in order to allay russia's fears about arms smuggling

. how do you rate these points of mr. volodymyr? well, let 's say that they are easy to eliminate. well, look at us. territorial waters, it is obvious that this is an unacceptable moment and now the requirements have decreased, but the positives say that, well, let's at least make some corridors. and where is the guarantee that after the passage of the ukrainian ships, the russian naval forces no no no will use this very corridor and go with an amphibious operation so even such a simple moment uh looks quite dubious from

the point of view of our security and i think the worst thing will be if we agree to solve the problem of food at the expense of our security that was already completely unacceptable therefore, there is a question about price points. well, let's not , so to speak, bury our heads in the sand and say that we don't know anything, but they want to make good money on our grain. is it profitable for the ukrainian parties, yes, on the one hand, definitely because we need to, in principle, on the other hand, why do we have to sell it with such great discomfort? well, it is about uh, quite a large percentage of that . well , here they are exactly those moments that can very seriously slow down the very process

of what we are talking about now. let's talk about the situation with the statements from the american congress. i will remind you that congresswoman victoria spartaz several a few days ago called on us president joe biden to check the russian connections of the head of the office of the president of ukraine andriy yermak and now demands to trace where is the american military aid in ukraine going, declares the need to implement proper supervision and create a joint working group for ukraine so that the americans do not have to look for their weapons somewhere in syria or in mexico, volodymyr, what do you think, first of all, about the statements from paris, how useful are they for ukraine, or is it really caring for ukraine and the funds of american taxpayers? is this an element acute internal political struggle in the united states well, you know, i paid attention to the fact that the american administration stated that

it would respond to ms. my opinion uh, one simple thing uh, namely that before giving an answer to mrs. sport, uh, the american administration, i think that it will take certain diplomatic steps uh, and consult or at least hmm agree on certain parameters of its answer with the ukrainian i don't think so it's about uh, to fully satisfy the requirements of the conclusion from the parts, but at least the individual elements to which she pays attention will definitely

be all the answers, and first and foremost, it will be about her suspicions about uh, what this weapon can to appear somewhere on the black market is unfounded and this is also an obvious story, no one ever, when supplying weapons for war, expects that there will be an account of those weapons that, let's say, were lost under the time of the battle or which e-e are out of order or which need there is some kind of repair and so on. this is all, er, the case when in a war, as in a war, it’s a different thing, here with this, you can agree that it is necessary to conduct er, conduct strict control so that er, such weapons really do not end up somewhere in the black the market, but the statements of both the

ukrainian side and our nato partners of other leaders say that they do not see such a threat and there is no such threat, therefore , i think that politics plays a role here more than the practice of spending money, it is absolutely normal , or rather, control over spending money all an absolutely normal story and no one will deny it here, but the details of this thesis look frankly quite dubious. well, what about what mrs. sport says about the fact that we have many representatives of the fifth column in our country then this is absolutely not a discovery, this is what everyone has known for a long time. well, i think that it is precisely for this reason that there will be certain contacts at a high political level so that these topics may

no longer be called so acutely, you know to me from the other side mr. volodymyr is generally surprised that we are we also discuss mrs. from the peppery figure of the appointed officials in the presidential office, i always believe that if the policy of mrs. spartz, the elected politician, has any claims to the political course, these claims should also be to the elected politicians, you understand. and we are in some kind of post-soviet discourse , i am very surprised that this post-soviet the discourse is related to the statements of the american congress, because i always remember all my life, you know, professional. i am forced to study the political positions of the leaders some administrations of the administration of the president of russia, the administration of the president of ukraine, well, mr. volodymyr, you yourself were the deputy head of the administration of the president of ukraine, it seems different to me, but really i was in the same

position, and you know very well that it is not the administration of the president , but the president who makes the principled decisions well, agree, he is responsible, well, it’s obvious. well, it’s also obvious that the employees of france are consulting with representatives of the state bodies and are preparing decisions for which later the president is actually responsible, so there is also an understanding that without the administration, the president also does not make those decisions, because they prepare the administration itself, so there is an unconditional connection, and regarding the fact that there are complaints against those or other personalities, i would still take the case more broadly, after all, the complaints should be against the system that allows us to still have many yes in many state bodies

there are people who serve the enemy , this is much more important. than just the last name x or y, that's what we're talking about, and it seems to me that this statement from the party is a good incentive, so to speak, for the ukrainian authorities to finally begin to purge, in the literal sense of the word, agents of moscow from the state apparatus from management bodies from local and not local councils and so on and so on, this is what i think should be discussed now, and not about the fact that ivan ivanovich or petro petrovich is somewhere, somehow, this is self- evident, but it seems to me that the topic is much deeper and much broader. well, at the same time, among the republicans in the house of representatives of the us congress, as reported

by politiko, fears are growing today that the position of congresswoman victoria spart regarding the ukrainian government can globally harm american-ukrainian relations at the most inopportune moments when it is actively used by forces that seek to weaken the western alliance. the policy emphasizes that this conflict is public, these accusations are in corruption in possible smuggling may portend future cracks in the us support for ukraine, especially with the approach of intermediate elections, how can we avoid this, mr. volodymyr, and how should a clear reaction from the ukrainian side be weighed now? well, it seems to me that any statements by any congressman or consumer are incapable of shaking the course that this american has taken external political ship uh-uh this discussion is democracy, it is something that is inherent in any uh-uh normal society where there are

some questions that need to have a clear clear and transparent answer and i hope that such an answer will really be after certain consultations regarding what should be done on the ukrainian side well , you must know how to fulfill the requirements prescribed by the european commission and not only the ambassadors of the seven countries and so on and so on. i think the best answer would be that ukraine is following a normal civilized path or she understands her problems and she solves these problems. i think that after such things, some individuals of this type, which have been voiced now, are not capable of deriving from the general pro-ukrainian approach that is currently being demonstrated by practically all key western of democracy led by the united states of america , what golden words, especially when the prosecutor general's office for the second time today announced

a meeting of the commission regarding the head of the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office on tuesday, july 19. this meeting of the commission regarding the appointment competition is already ongoing, this suspended situation has been going on for two years and we actually hope that now, when our membership in the european union, our preservation of the status of a candidate for eu membership is in the balance, we are political will has been shown here and let's put an end to this issue. well, in the meantime, the next seventh package of sanctions against russia was announced in the european commission. it is about the fact that restrictions can be introduced that will hit the russian gold, volodymyr, what is your assessment of how well they work in principle, the previous six packages and will the seventh be able to become an additional powerful blow to

the aggressor country, you know, this is enough, mine would say well, maybe even some such cynical tactics when he cuts off the tail of such small in pieces, that is, looking. and what about this little creature? sorry for the wording, i will compare it to our northeastern neighbor renna. it reacts, and is it possible that it is not necessary to go too far at once? maybe she will come to her senses after all. well, for now... eh this tactic eh justifies itself because the little creature sorry for this word does not come to mind. thus, every next piece will be more and more eh painful for her and at the same time it must be frankly said that

ah because the sanctions on eh well, superimposed, so to speak, in general, they always look for and find certain loopholes and that is why this is the next block of sanctions, including focusing on closing these loopholes in relation to gold for uh, well, this is also one of the rather serious uh subjects that russia will think about because it is a minimum well , specialists call it from 12 to 15 billion e dollars every year, and this is also an extremely important e segment of the russian economy, because we understand that a gold bar is already the final final product, and behind it are thousands and thousands of people and thousands, so to speak, of those who prove this product to the final and

if an entire industry is closed, then the entire industry will suffer, and i think that this is not the last step, so to speak. western partners, then they will also reach the nuclear power industry of the russian federation, this is also an extremely powerful segment of the russian energy industry . the russian federation serves a lot of its blocs, including in the countries of the same european union and so on. that's why you you know, there is still a lot to work on and i really think, i really hope that at some point the kremlin will understand that the next piece will already mean

a real disaster and yet this potential next step will force them to come to a slightly different approach than the one they are demonstrating today and you know it's no coincidence that i literally said another phrase yesterday, despite the fact that uh, your colleagues were very worried about whether they would declare nuclear war on us, uh, putin paid attention to his internal problems, to problems response because the situation in these regions is becoming threatening and this may mean the beginning of the very end that you and i have repeatedly talked about, for example, the end of the unity of the russian federation, the sharp weakening of the center, which these regions can very quickly and very successfully take advantage of thank you, mr. volodymyr volodymyra hryshko diplomat minister of foreign affairs of ukraine

in 2007-9, the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine was in touch with us, and right now we are including the next guest of our air, serhii danylo, deputy director of the middle eastern center of research, please contact us, mr. sergey, so let's talk about the tour of the president of the united states, joe biden, to the middle east. right now, the president of the united states is in saudi arabia, and the results of this visit will of course depend on whether the russian federation will be able to get its position in the world economy despite western sanctions. i think this can be said without exaggeration, on the other hand, the us president is in an absolutely catastrophic situation from the point of view of this visit, he is needed to negotiate with the leadership of saudi arabia, in particular with the hereditary principle of this state, and on the other hand, he himself sharply criticized the prince for violating human rights for his possible

involvement in the murder of journalist khashoggi. and by the way, he did this during his current stay in saudi arabia arabia how to solve it? i can already see that on the one hand, some observers say that you should choose the least evil, and on the other hand, they say that if you allow ashoni's crimes today, tomorrow you can also allow putin. what is the difference ? to have one moral imperative uhu what what to do with it as they believe that this situation is almost catastrophic yes is it attacking his own party in particular progress well by the way the biggest attack is coming from the side of the tanks this is such a left group that has enough spread and all and all the united in the states and in europe, which are more likely to be associated with russia , that is, such a liberal left taliban is possible under the conditions, well, if i propose to evaluate everything from the ukrainian point of view, how will biden get out,

he got out today, they and he and she and the crown prince, you suspended him on the terms of the summary of biden's speech, if it happens again, don't listen . took place so this page is turned over to the hereditary principle this meeting was needed he got it what was said there it was already uh figures of speech to appease the progress of the so-called and these tanks of the united states on the eve of the elections more nothing so what to do is not important anymore everything has been done and what and what have been achieved in your opinion well, as there

are symbolic things and there are practical things, i do not really believe in the rapid increase in oil production and what again is a plus and saudi arabia will completely close the needs in particular eh, additional resources after russia will block europe and the united states, but the build-up will definitely be, the quality will be, but they have achieved that israel now flies through the airspace, they handed over two islands in lake akap through the cape gulf, this is it an analogue of a snake. they were transferred with the consent of israel from egypt to saudi arabia. there will be a lot of talk in the fields about anti-aircraft and missile defense and about the possibilities of cooperation between the states of the region without a joint e-e joint countermeasures against saudi arabia. they all asked for weapons, the

americans obviously in the near future they will remove margo . some kind of murder has been imposed there. i want to know where to supply strike systems to saudi arabia. in a certain sense, we will be competitors here, but i am very certain because the saudis are not asking for what we are asking for. they haven't asked yet. well, that's what we're not even considering yet to transfer. well, in addition to all this, cooperation is being intensified in the administration of israel, the united arab emirates, india with the participation of the united states in space, the defense sector, the military-industrial complex, and a whole series projects, biden met with uh, at the summit , not only the actual chairman is present, but not just present, and yesterday he had a separate meeting with biden, in particular, a dinner .

jordans, er, all countries except hema, well, the arab countries of the persian gulf are all present, and er, a boat is present, which was recently in complete isolation from its arab neighbors. so, they all meet with a spider for a common platform. well , the actual achievement is what biden said that we will not leave, we will not leave you, and after me it is permissible to be the freest rank, so he said that the vacuum should be filled by china, russia, and with iraq in parentheses, should we expect from israel, mr. serhiy, military aid for ukraine and systems of air defense we are not talking about the iron dome, but we know that they have other systems, such as, in particular, david's sling, could it be not only about helmets for civilian organizations, which we received the green light this week? yes, and

about direct weapons for the armed forces in there is no panic in russia, but the statement is very sharp, we will soon see the anti-simin company in the russian propaganda media about the clause on the supply of weapons to israel, he was at the negotiations with the prime minister of israel, he in unclear terms formulated in the declaration i do not believe in the delivery of israeli weapons by the new year, at least now the election campaign will begin and then they will be dividing the portfolios for a long time there the result will be determined by one or two birds' voices will be heavy and long and there will be a new year, winter holidays, but i believe in the activation of those deliveries that have now passed , i.e. the correct vests, helmets, and gradual naro
