you are a cossack, such is the power of resistance, the power of the unconquered , february 24, the date that changed us, the date that changed the world and now. what interests us the most is our victory, when we defeat the enemy, so predict the course of the war. on saturdays vitaliy portnikov and maria gurska will discuss the most relevant issues in order to draw appropriate conclusions. do you want to know how what is happening today will affect our tomorrow? what creatures are not able to choose something else and we in

ukraine like to choose everything even if it is insurance on hotline finance hotline finance insurance online of course i congratulate you dear tv viewers, the espresso tv channel is currently on the air, the studio program will analyze the event, the most important thing is about nuclear blackmail of the russian federation she is preparing to arrange man-made disaster at the temporarily occupied zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, at the same time, we must understand that the response of the collective action must come, our guests will talk about this and other things the british parliamentarian from the labor party through brian, as well as the famous political scientist andrii piontkovsky, who is in washington, we are adding to our broadcast a member of the british parliament from the labor party, the former minister

for european affairs of the british government and now the head of the parliamentary group on russia, chris bryant. greetings dear mr. brian in the studio espresso tv channel would like to thank great britain and you personally for the support and help you provide to ukraine yes, but we see that russian aggression is not the end of the country is not visible. well, we were hoping for some additional scenarios, possibly additional sanctions mechanisms that could be implemented against russia in the near future, first, despite the actions of vladimir putin to inform the people, russia guaranteed the territorial integrity of ukraine within the framework of the budapest memorandum and actually broke its word it is important that today all european countries, signatories and members of nato, are on the side of ukraine in relation to great britain, it does not matter

who is in power, the labor party or the conservatives, our the position is unchanged. we are with ukraine, i have been very critical of the british and other governments since 2014 because the invasion of ukraine took place then and not this year, and if the invasion at that time was taken more seriously by introducing stricter sanctions, then perhaps putin would not have developed ambitions of such a scale but still we have not imposed sufficient sanctions against russia, the current sanctions are not even equal to the sanctions against iran, although without a doubt they should not be even stronger, and yet a lot of countries are still dependent on

of russian gas and oil, some countries such as india use the moment to sew up gas and oil, and this needs to be put to an end because it is absolutely impossible to put up with such blatant piracy or banditry. we very much hope that there are certain things on which the world community, the european union , the united states of great britain, can press . one of the problems is that the prices of oil and gas have increased due to the effects for the russian world of the so-called monocity after all, the only branch of russia that is flourishing is the oil industry, a lot can still be done by continuing the fight against russia, firstly, we

must expand the sanctions regime to affect more personnel, secondly, we must make sure that the whole of europe can do without russian gas or oil even before the beginning winters in order to eventually stop replenishing their coffers and thirdly, a lot of russian military equipment currently used in ukraine needs spare parts , most of which are used in european or western countries, we need to make sure that they are no longer supplied in order to make the military achievements of putin 's troops impossible in this way. an extremely important point is that these are the people who served and serve the kremlin in the west. we are talking about putin's oligarchs who felt extremely comfortable in the european union and probably in great britain and here is what now with them in

this regard, the conscience of great britain is quite unclean , in particular, for 12 years our harbor was open to many russian oligarchs who at that time, they earned colossal sums, because many state monopolies were put up for auction, sold, privatized, or, remaining monopolies, nevertheless passed into private hands. in this way, many people specifically took advantage of the situation. in a relatively short period of time, of course, all this happened corruptly by bribing russian government officials, and sometimes personal friends and allies of putin. many of them are close to the kremlin, because without the trust and confidentiality of vladimir putin, they would not have made such a

fortune . we gave them the green light through special visas , services for buying houses and large estates , we offered them very original solutions to tax issues and also provided them with lawyers. did not ask any questions about how this money got into specific pockets, i think that today we regret it, because a good dozen of such persons, holders of our golden visas, are currently included in the sanctions list list considers our behavior to be immoral. i

know that many people in ukraine are very grateful to boris johnson, but his government is involved in all of this. i hope that in the near future there will be significant changes in great britain regarding the fight against money laundering, and this is an extremely important issue so far we cannot invest in your head, what does the situation look like in reality with the introduction of powerful sanctions against the russian oligarchs, yes , because according to the advantages, we heard that all their funds will be frozen, assets will be seized. then it turns out that there is one or another character who is able to function normally and there is a fear that such people will use their golden card, so to speak, in order to establish, for example, contacts between different business environments in russia, great britain, the european union, and so on. further the situation

with most oligarchs in great britain is that they are under sanctions without easy access to finance but our government has been so slow to impose sanctions on them that any of them managed to transfer the funds to other places where it is more difficult for the government to reach, that is why i am very critical of the government of our country, in particular, due to the lack of a proper policy of sanctions during the last two years, unfortunately, we acted too slowly, the government should now not just freeze assets, but confiscate them so that all these palaces can be was to be sold and the funds received to be sent to the reconstruction of ukraine to criticize boris johnson in ukraine, he is extremely popular, yes, that is, to criticize him is the same as criticizing dougda or mowgli, that is, boris

johnson really did invaluable things to support our country, but now there is a feeling that a new era or a new phase of assistance to ukraine may begin in great britain, and what it will be like completely before boris johnson, because i consider him a terrible liar, but this concerns british politics, not ukrainian politics i also believe that when he was the minister of foreign affairs, he was weak in relation to russia, and in his visage, lavrov was still the scandal-monger who twisted from right to left and as he wanted, but now great britain strongly supports ukraine. i wish we were members of the european union, because then we could help even more. i am a member of the foreign affairs committee, who before the invasion

visited ukraine in february. front line watching the russian troops i know what we need to do and where to move and i emphasize again that no matter who forms the british government, it will not affect the support of ukraine, i can assure you if we talk about the military help to ukraine as much as it can grow, we have colossal problems, in particular we are talking about the artillery tower, we just don’t have enough of it, we also lack tanks and armored vehicles there, we lack a lot of systems, we understand that it is kind of embarrassing to constantly ask for it or talk about it in one or another conversation well, but we we have such a sad reality from the second because we understand that great britain in general provides a lot of help and now

the training of our fighters continues. this is an extremely powerful program, but what else is great britain will be ready to provide us and support us in the strategy to replace the equipment that has already been transferred to ukraine and to increase the level of equipment that we will be able to provide in the future. here it is on out you. it would be appropriate if such a strategy was developed at the pan-european level. at the moment , 43 different types of equipment and systems have been transferred to ukrainians, and accordingly, in order to use them, separate training should be completed, it would be much more effective if we could coordinate our efforts, which contributed for longer and better support, unfortunately, at the moment, the british government is not interested in

such coordination, the presence of clear coordination centers and a very clear vision of some common cohesive strategy may actually be the only adequate response to russian aggression at the time in the 19th century great britain france gave russia a clear answer during the crimean war, when they protected the interests of turkey, which could have been completely destroyed or collapsed as a result of russian actions, well, as a result the crimean war program by russia, tsar nicholas died of grief, i do not think that britain will send its troops to ukraine, if we went to escalate the war, it would mean that putin could very well resort to the use of nuclear weapons on this occasion or invade nato countries such as estonia,

the most important now to provide the ukrainian troops and the ukrainian people with all possible tools for victory, it would be great if the entire collective event had a single cohesive, coordinated and consistent campaign to provide ukraine with military technology, as well as financial support for families who are currently fighting for survival, i am also aware of how many ukrainian entrepreneurs are having a hard time right now, i know ukrainians who have left their families in ukraine here in great britain, we understand that the current situation will not end until christmas be patient and fulfill your obligations, the obligations regarding

ukraine rest on the shoulders of the entire united kingdom, regardless of who is in power and what is the name of the prime minister, it was recently announced that the idea of ​​a possible security union, in particular with ukraine, yes, and i would like to ask you. do you see any prospects for the creation of some kind of separate agreement, which would include, well, additional support for a security guarantee from great britain, the agreement theoretically meant that all its signatories would guarantee territorial integrity ukraine and hydrogen, everyone understood it so that if russia invades ukraine, other countries will support ukraine and fight together with it. obviously, this is not what was meant then and on what the ukrainians were counting on now

. to be honest, now there is no point in developing another security agreement while the country is in a state of war, instead, all efforts should be directed to the approach of putin's defeat, your sense of how strong putin will be. so you mentioned that the war may not end until christmas, but the question of how much military and moral-psychological potential of his enemy 's army will be enough for him with putin or within the kremlin, in a certain sense, it all started a long time ago in georgia and then the west he acted too reluctantly, which gave putin confidence and enthusiasm, the only thing he understands is strength, let's remember

the battle of stalingrad now, putin is actually quoting stalin at the time, if one general is not ready to lose hundreds of thousands of soldiers to win the battle, then find me another general somewhere in our country, your glorious morale in russia is slowly weathering , and yet the only one who is holding on to the continuation of the war is putin, who just doesn’t seem like it. that he threatens to use tactical nuclear weapons . putin likes to threaten. i don't believe his talk about the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons

. i'm not sure that such a concept as tactical nuclear weapons is correct. we just have an immoral use of weapons. if he used nuclear weapons against estonia, latvia or poland, it would be completely cynical. and i touched on the rapid change of public opinion in russia, which would be difficult for putin himself to survive. the biggest difficulty lies in the fact that it is very difficult for us in the west to understand what exactly is happening in putin's head, because now he is not the best protected asset in the world, the west is now required to continue to hold tightly to the pile , in my opinion, we should all apply the same sanctions at the same time with the same effect.

unfortunately, the behavior of certain countries such as hungary it's just shameful, i've even come across americans who are convinced that putin is doing a good thing, of course we also have to fight cybergina because, according to the ukrainians, russia was actively leading a full-scale invasion long before ideological war in social networks, trying to convince people that they need russian passports and russian patronage, so we have to fight on all fronts at the same time, the main thing is to recognize that putin is not only waging a physical war in ukraine, but also a quest mixed with a collective action dear mr. bryant how do you evaluate the grain agreement which seems to have started its work, what does this signal actually mean, we see how actively and strongly

the president of turkey was involved in these negotiation processes, so after that he visited putin in in your opinion, what role will he play in russia in general? do you see any prospects for negotiation tracks? erdoğan's behavior worries me. he is a nationalist, and his ideology of nationalism is in many ways similar to putin's. he leads a country that must always look to the west and the east at the same time, because it is the connecting link between europe and asia is the presence of world leaders who are very dangerous, especially if they promise their country to make america great again or brazil great again, etc. the danger lies in

because our world can turn into a world of conflicts and despair, therefore, erdogan should be convinced that his best future is with the west and not with russia and russia. the time of our conversation has run out. the nuclear plant is evidence of a huge crisis of the putin genre, the willingness to commit to a colossal man-made crime shows that putin has no other arguments or other tools left to hope that the collective action will find suitable arguments in order to appease putin in his armageddon fantasies about this and about the other we will talk with the famous political scientist who is in washington andriy piontkovsky glory to ukraine andriy andriyovich heroes glory to you good day

anton building er, i think that blackmail will be excluded as an effective element of russian foreign policy, and i have put 15 years in order for ukraine 's reaction to georgia's aggression to be rejected from this blackmail. the whole of crimea and so on, this blackmail match will continue indefinitely, the americans understood this time, they even formed a special new type of nuclear weapons, this is still the minister of defense of the coastal government, and it will be divided into two missile carriers. the guarantee of the destruction of hm is approximately 50 kg, and

then it is not replaced by a few mne warheads of 5-4 kw of topics with tactical nuclear charges that have everything in a large number of russians, who then all the time used this word to the americans, gave a clear answer that a nuclear strike would not go unpunished, and putin's concept concluded that they did not say that . yes, we do not need a conversion level. it is necessary to be afraid of the boiling well, we did not live in this illusion of our own for 15 years, and all this time receded, and this is her with one exception. we europe can remember the ultimatum on december 15, we need to get together and put away ours, so putin was officially declared publicly and proven wrong.

so, if we use tactical weapons, russia will receive a retaliatory strike. with this even or with this effective deterrence, a tactical detection was used, he began to look for a way to bypass this lodge his request was the so-called transfer of nuclear weapons to belarus, he thought to play with such a scenario, don't you remember the meeting that he asked poroshenko for a unicorn and a way to entrust it to a high mission to use the birthday of lukashenka and when he will stay? he didn't investigate lukashenko, it's his fault, they ask, but they explained to him that this too will not pass,

uh , the attack will be on him and similar to this one. и брать выход если что last two weeks, moscow deployed a monstrous propaganda campaign accusing ukraine of its artillery strikes on zaporizhia greece, preparations for a nuclear attack. well, today, even the most recent statement of the russians dares that the americans have disarmed the containers of the zaporizhia hpp. ukrainians will be hit by the entrances, and so on. well, it’s clear, this is the same school from which putin came to power. he came to power . этом чеченская продукты сейчас он намем

вровать zaporozhskaya as in order to prevent the offensive of the ukrainian army , which cannot be stopped by military means, and will provide the supply of modern american weapons . andrey andreevich. operate on the territory of the zaporizhia region, in particular, this is the case with control over the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, but it gives the impression of a completely inadequate of a person, so he starts talking about some , er, almost non-slavic, some kind of atomic heritage, and there to take it away, eh, in the so-called, in quotes, of course, from the nazis, yes, or turn everything into ashes. that is, i don't know if this is such a game for the public keep me there seven, because otherwise i will kill my own grandmother, explain it exactly to the western leader, because

for him this is a brilliant invention, how to arrange a nuclear catastrophe, he ran away, he ran away, he asked, i questioned the writing, i amused him there, but there are monstrous things, but such a treatment of a soldier, you soldiers of the great russian army, you will fulfill the sacred mission assigned to us , we will not hold you dear in our hands, and this is the russian land and if it is not russian, it will be very valuable to no one . in short, she will be in ashes. the whole of putin's plan was written there in the beginning, if we have to leave this territory, general vasiliev is negotiating. so everything was discussed, it was discussed at the highest level of the kremlin, they understand this threat. of the ukrainian army, and i

repeat this a little bit again. this is sacredly true. in my opinion, the action will not allow the offensive of the ukrainian army and disrupt the supply of western weapons to ukraine. by the strikes of russian rockets, er, it was me, er, the clear attribution of the criminal is putin. through questions or headlines about russians and ukrainians accusing each other of artillery attacks on the zaporizhzhia hydroelectric power plant well, that's already half a day - putin has done this formula is enough for him and this form is unknown who ah it's cursed

unknown - it can be a little, how can the borders, that's enough for him - it is enough to cover up, therefore , the responsibility of the cannon on the western leaders has already appeared from the seven on wednesday of this week that they need to first transfer zaporizhia to the control of ukraine. send a group of observers there. and if you want instructors, eh. where can we ensure safety? i agree with andriy andriyovich. indeed, the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant should be freed from the russian occupation forces. yes, it should, i don't know. in the current situation, it should receive the status of demilitarized single zones. i am not sure whether putin will go for it from the other side. i don't know what kind of

mess is going on. the occupying military group will be burned to ashes, that is, it will not even be the buryats who were digging in the red forest near chernobyl, that is 30 or 50,000 russian soldiers can burn, if not burn alive, then at least get radiation sickness, and on the other hand, no one knows where they can fly this cloud, maybe it will cover istanbul, so to speak, hated by the prosecutor, or somewhere else there, or to rostov, maybe he will go, i don’t know, to some kostroma . millions of its own population 8 years ago when he then started his nuclear blackmail of ours of crimea that's what i called her that children's things where does it live about what we should
