this president erdoğan, to what extent can she be effective in order to explain to putin that the west is really integrated in the ukrainian issue , so that putin will not be able to implement his plans as he dreamed of assistance, because grain and food exports have worked and thus the ukrainian economy has benefited from this, which economy of other countries. we also see that he tried to implement a similar mechanism to achieve peace, but now we are. he will also convey a clear message to putin about the unity of the collective of the west with ukraine, to what extent they support ukraine in its struggle, and that is why he conveys that

his role is important, and as an envoy is important, i do not think that any negotiations are possible now, because putin has resorted to all possible measures to exterminate the ukrainian population, to fix as many territories as possible therefore, it is completely unacceptable for ukraine, any agreement, any peace negotiations that will not be in its favor, mr. volker , literally a month ago, the cabinet of ministers of ukraine appealed to the united states of america for gas lends would also like to remind you that since the middle of the 20th century, lend-lease has had a component of

energy carriers, in particular, oil products. with the russian federation was really effective and did not focus on any legal instruments . similar, but we understand that the people who are rising are concentrating and asking questions about what is the urgent need in ukraine. at this stage, they need tanks, aircraft, and others .

strengthening of the private economy therefore, i think that people in the west are waiting they are waiting for the end of the war and only then will we start helping ukraine to rebuild, but i want to emphasize that now is the right time to help ukraine now is the time to strengthen ukraine, because it must be strong, restraining russian aggression, well , dear mr. volker, we completely agree with you, on the other hand, we see that russia and the kremlin are ready to enter into a so-called long protracted war, and we roughly predicted their scenarios for the fall and winter this year we are talking about the destruction of objects of our civil infrastructure, we also understand what situation our economy is in. well, accordingly , we would like to know. government but does the west have an understanding of what sums

we are talking about, long-term targeted support, and whether this moment of macrofinance and aid will be sufficiently calculated because the war may be long. it may not end in a year . for the winter i think that the winter will be much more difficult for russia than for ukraine, because they depend on such clear chains of supply of food , ammunition, and the like, and the armed forces managed to destroy such chains, logistical chains a when we talk about the economic issue, you very aptly emphasized that the situation will be extremely difficult for ukraine, and therefore it is necessary to shift the focus to the needs of ukrainians, because there are two different

aspects, and firstly, it is state funding, here western governments from the european union and the usa needs more to stabilize the financial crisis in ukraine, so they should allocate funds, as well as for the war, for defense, support for economic issues, on the other hand, we are talking about the private sector, about the economy of ukraine, because this is vital at the moment because there are no such developed mechanisms or programs to support the private sector in order to bring investors back to ukraine, as well as to create a successful private economy, therefore, a large share of attention should be paid to this, in particular, insurance points e investments from the usa

and other countries, there is a whole list of things that the international community should do together with ukraine, so we understand that the international community should do this with ukraine, but we rely on the united states as well extremely strong hopes and finally i would like to clarify with you whether there is a reaction in the west in the form of or perhaps some other additional things to a possible stupid annexation by the russian federation. in our country, everyone is talking about some referendums or not referendums, pseudo-referendums and fake referendums, but they can go simply for the open annexation of the territory, declaring them, so to speak, in quotation marks, russian. and what happened after that, because we read the updated russian nuclear doctrine of the temporarily occupied territories

of course, no one will make such a decision, no one believes even in russia that this is a forced seizure of territory that is not supported by the local population, therefore the international community will certainly not recognize it . know it as everyone in the west knows it. what is this fake annexation? they are waiting for the moment when they can attack this territory, and they know that ah, uh, i don't think that any new awareness or understanding will be launched of the nuclear doctrine, because if they hit ukraine with eternal nuclear weapons, we understand we will understand

that those territories that russia is trying to capture life on them how will this be impossible, so i think that they will not change their nuclear strategy and i am actually their internal dialogue they themselves simply think that these territories are part of russia. thank you, thank you for this inclusion. kurt volker, the former us special representative for ukraine, was in touch with us. i would like to thank mr. volker for his clarity and comprehensibility his answers and in general for his position in favor of ukraine well, you are the only one of the espresso tv channel , informational and analytical day seven continues at 5:38 p.m. khrystyna yatskiv and antin berkovskii, let's not forget that today is the day of the national flag of ukraine, the ukrainian state flag will return

to all temporarily occupied territories forever such confidence was expressed by the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi today during the ceremony of raising the national flag of ukraine in kyiv, this ceremony is one of the long-standing traditions that go back the declaration of independence of ukraine about smoking this holiday in our next story, the holiday of the state flag in ukraine has been celebrated since 2004 , in 2008, the tradition of solemnly raising the flag appeared on august 23, the combination of yellow and blue colors goes back to the times of ancient russia, these schoolchildren often met on cossack flags as a national flag, yellow-blue was approved by the ukrainian people's republic in 1991. it again became the flag of independent ukraine. glory to the loving ukraine, not a hero on earth, by god, the flag that

vyacheslav chornovil and his associates carried of the session hall on august 24, 1991. today, it is one of the main state relics kept in the verkhovna rada. russian aggression forced many to rethink the meaning of the national symbol . volodymyr rybak, a member of the horliv city council , was tortured in april 2014 for trying to return the ukrainian flag to the city council building , captured by the occupiers . rybak became a hero of ukraine posthumously. yellow and blue flags were raised over the donetsk airport throughout the entire defense . today, its defenders raise it twice a year on national flag day and day of the military unit, one of the legendary flags from the donetsk airfield is raised over the military unit in krypnytskyi after fierce battles in july of this year, the ukrainian flag returned to the serpent island before the war in honor of the day of the state flag in various regions, canvases of record sizes were often created in kyiv on a flagpole

90 high m installed one of the largest flags 16x24 m in the front-line avdiyivka, a state flag with an area of ​​120 square meters was raised to the sky in 2016 in kyiv, a huge flag of ukraine was created of flowers with an area of ​​more than 13,000 square meters, it entered the book of records of ukraine as the largest flower carpet. our flag is cool. there is no place for truth . children, the price of realizing what it means to us is now extremely high. it is for this flag that they protect us and fight for ours. our defenders in the east, in the south of our country, in all the hottest spots on our map, so far on our map, because i want to look optimistically into the future , but sometimes i look into the past, where i have a better understanding of what is happening right now

we are adding to our conversation taras stetsky, a politician, a people's deputy of ukraine from the first to the fourth convocation, in addition to the sixth convocation, mr. taras, we congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes good evening to all a person who directly remembers the introduction of the state flag of ukraine to everyone in the verkhovna rada directly participated in the preparation of the act of proclamation of independence of ukraine and in the voting on august 24. well, mr. taras, a few reflexes regarding today, historians insist that it is possible and not august 23 actually, it seems to me that the date does not have such a meaning, since the decision has already been made, august 23, let it be august 23. it is important that one of the biggest symbols of ukraine is the yellow-blue flag already and

what tens if not more generations. for example, it is more pleasant to remember only these events that you have in the plot now, on august 24, 1991, which was once introduced at the initiative of the people's council of the then opposition in the ukrainian parliament, the yellow-blue flag under which almost all rallies in the city of kyiv were held. i remember the first time when a yellow-blue flag was raised, a yellow-blue flag, uh, in my personal political career, where would i be? as i remember it today, it was on april 26, 1989, at a rally in lviv organized by the lion society, held on the occasion of another anniversary chornobyl tragedy and that's it

. at this rally, which is ecological in name and in theme, the first er among the demonstrators appeared and a yellow-blue flag was raised above their heads, this was back in the days of the soviet union, when people were arrested and thrown into prison for this and after that the first time the flag was raised, i remember how we organized an impressive demonstration before may 1, a communist holiday was used, and we were in lviv for the first time on what is now svobody avenue in front of the party leadership of a column of the people's movement of ukraine, which at that time was just being formed lviv regional organization of the people's movement of ukraine we are activists of the people's movement , but overcoming and breaking the borders of the police, which blocked us from horodotska street, from the present church of rychbety to the opera house,

and later along freedom avenue, and this was the first time when we literally affirmed with our actions the blue symbol as one of the strongest attributes of ukrainian statehood, of course i am pleased to remember it now and to look at it because i was directly involved and was among those who, by their actions, despite the risks and despite the threats of losing their jobs, getting e- i think that ukrainians should respect and respect our flag and this holiday because so much blood was shed for it and people died for it whole generations of ukrainians in the yellow-blue flag now have exactly half the council with you, the ukrainian flag is abundantly watered with our and at the same time enemy blood well, but i would like to believe that

this or that formula will be worked out, the formula for victory over the enemy, we understand that now it sounds quite abstract although regular battles continue well , we still understand that we are gradually defeating russia in the war of attrition, but the enemy is strong, whatever peace formulas you think would be effective, yes, and maybe it was worth it would somehow strengthen our cooperation with our foreign international partners, the allies. well, i am deeply convinced that the peace formula in the ukrainian interest can only be considered as the result of the military defeat of the russian army on the territory of ukraine. i do not consider any other peace formula, in my opinion, it is impossible. it will be to contradict ukrainian national interests and the direction of ukrainian society, any truce

in the current situation is unacceptable and i believe that er. this or that ukrainian military victory is not they know where the ukrainian military command is planning, e.e. in the kherson region, novaya kakhovka, zaporizhzhia or donbass, this is a question of the military. and my russian federation, the process of division, the process of confusion, the process of the general struggle among the elites, because the entire russian propaganda machine is defeated so that russia advances and wins, and ukraine retreats , defends itself and loses territory as soon as the reverse process will take place, it will begin to grow like a snowball. as for western support, of

course i will not open a big uh-uh america here when i say that it is insufficient. although i well understand why the west provides aid to ukraine in such a dosed manner, it wants to control and regulate the process because the united states the states of america, which are definitely interested in the ukrainian victory, are the main geopolitical player and they want to help ukraine in this way and to control the process and defeats of russia in order to prevent china from strengthening they also probably take into account that in the fall there will be a communist congress or will it remain ringing or will it be changed to another figure? and perhaps the united states of america, and this is all only an

incomplete list of those problems and those reasons that do not yet give us the necessary amount of weapons that would allow us to win quickly, i.e. ukraine it is necessary to win quickly, and the west wants to prolong the victory, as well as the possible nuclear escalation on the part of russia, from my point of view, this is a mistake of the west, and we must point out this mistake in every possible way. well, it is as if the appropriate public politicians and public figures are fully involved, and we must work with the west in this regard as well you know, boiling a frog over a slow fire will not result in escalation, and it is already not high enough, and if we constantly pay attention to whether putin will wave a nuclear tomahawk or whether everyone will bring themselves into russia, we must win and we must inflict we need to get a military defeat for this. well, only weapons that will allow this defeat to be inflicted

by the forces of the ukrainian army, and this is actually a certain point, well, such a different understanding lies in the ukrainian victory and the defeat of russia in the ukrainian up and he version of the west. thank you very much, mr. taras, for this analysis on the air of the espresso tv channel and in general for your participation in the ukrainian state creation of tarasten politicians, the people's deputy of ukraine of the first fourth and sixth convocations worked in our marathon and this conversation in my opinion, her resume could be a great continuation of our previous conversation with mr. volker, just like that, more support from our partners would be able to speed it up. as they say, well, we'll see in the future, despite the war, ukrainian cinema will continue to produce quality products sniper

white warrior is the first war film after the large-scale invasion of the russian federation into ukraine, and the premiere of the film should take place on august 24, that is, tomorrow, symbolically on independence day , and again, the film is the first on a military theme after the large-scale invasion with us in connection with half-writer of the script and director-producer of the film maryan bushan, we congratulate you maryan and glory to ukraine and i also congratulate you today with a great holiday and wish all our ukrainians that our flag to the entire territory of our country, which will testify to our victory, respectively, we would like to ask you something about the specifics of the work on that film, yes. well, the editors told us that it is about a former teacher from horli who became a sniper, this is a completely living person, a living story, please tell me

in more detail, of course, without, so to speak, without spoilers , of course, right away, i want to correct that they ran a warrior and a white raven, yes, but i thought a little bit that it sounded like that, so to speak, with a certain connotation, well, but how we read it, yes, yes, we voiced it let's see tomorrow, say a poem. yes, this is really a story based on the prototype of mykola mykola voronina , he is a man who graduated from the mogilian academy with two higher educations and at some stage of his life he moved to live in gorlovka, where he bought piece of land and lived with his wife, that's all probable facts based on, let's say, this story , and it inspired me to make a-a big movie that eventually transformed into another genre, but

at the same time keep all the messages that inspired me with that true story. how far have you followed the biographical stories of this teacher well, you know mykola voronin. he is a very public person, despite the fact that he has a mysterious lifestyle, but he stands out among others and because of this, hmm , in fact, everyone can find all the information about him on the internet and compare what really of a true film and what is an artistic opinion? so, uh, i can say about those facts, uh, well, let's say it openly. nuri

econo-ri and at first he thought about the war in donbas, he went as a volunteer and became a sniper, it's all true maryana but now you're just breaking russian propaganda on the fly in a sense, banderites from western ukraine found themselves there now in donbas russian eh they are actually breaking our peace this is exactly what the russians are saying. and you are talking about a real resident of the ukrainian donbas who took up a weapon, uh, somehow it doesn’t correlate in their brains . i think now, nevertheless, it is important to realize that this story is not unique, and i also have examples that can be cited without specific names for the safety of these people, er, maryana, and er, how common is this phenomenon when residents of the ukrainian donbass take up arms to defend their own small homeland and the

ukrainian world as a whole, i say this in a healthy sense of the word well, in fact, a lot of people, uh, indigenous people of donetsk, stood up for the defense of their country, they felt uh, personally, this war, they are what motivated them very much, uh, and our hero is not an exception in this story, i will pay attention to exactly such people which it would be time to hear in the end, and maryana has an understanding that it is difficult to implement some artistic projects , especially in the cinema during the war, well, first of all, money , and secondly, resources in all understandings of this word, how was it possible in the end who supported and did she go to the meeting here is our state er well, of course, the project has a very long, long and difficult path, but everything

starts with a story, everything starts with meeting a producer who will believe in this story , so it happened and er, our meeting with artem denisov turned into this big long the journey and creation of this film, and the state, of course, provided the largest part of the funds for the production of this film, if i'm not mistaken, 80%. and er, well, without the state of this film, this was not a fact. and er, the fact that it started and the fact that we, despite all the difficulties and the restrictions they made, this shows our personal wishes of our entire team, a large team that contributed to the work of this film. well, how do you see the development of the distribution of this film in general , for whom was this film made, more for ukrainians or maybe for uh, abroad, and because

this is important. maybe you want to tell this story specifically to our friends-partners and to someone else, on the contrary, to change the worldview position, in fact, my directorial task was to create a film that will show the world about our struggle, which will force to keep the focus of attention on this war on this defense war against russia and first of all i wanted this film to be heard all over the world , that is, i tried to make it according to certain universal canons of genre cinema and so that it was understandable and uh, the audience was able to accept it, so it was the first priority, i wanted our struggle to be talked about all over the

world , dear director this is a heroic story, but not an isolated one, and we understand that there are also teachers, doctors, and so on, and so on, but your director's vision worked specifically in this case, tell me, share some of your inner experiences, uh, well, for me, everything is actually quite simple i was looking for a story that could metaphorically depict the transformation of a peaceful ukrainian into an effective warrior, this is what was happening at that moment, and for me, this image of this eco-settler, this peaceful man, associated was associated with our country. and mykola voronin himself, the main character of this film, saw him and what was

his reaction ah, hmm, yes, he saw some edited scenes even before the closed premiere took place ah, hmm, we had well we had a complete understanding with him, we felt the materials were quite similar and he actually liked the scenes he saw, we thank you maryan bushan, co-author of the script and director-producer of the film sniper white circle worked on the live broadcast of the information-analytical marathon together with christina yanskyi and presented to us his film, it is very important, it is the first national film on a military theme since the beginning of the large-scale invasion of antin borkovsky, i sincerely thank you for this informational analytical day. this extremely important and difficult work

will be broadcast live, see you tomorrow, uh, in the morning, uh, here it is important to remember that we monitor the crimean platform and continue to broadcast it for you , in particular, on the youtube platform, in general, follow you can get espresso on the website espresso krapka tv on facebook, in telegram, on youtube, on twitter, and of course on instagram, in a few moments before work, our colleagues from radio svoboda will be able to get their word russia can inflict intense blows on the independence day of ukraine. american officials are also warning about this and ukrainian intelligence , large cities have canceled mass events, and in kharkiv they are introducing a curfew for one and a half days, what else can they do
