competitions, and then alliances will be concluded, we will see that in an accelerated form , various negotiations will begin there in the asian pacific region, the search for partners around the world where china will create anchor points, that is, all this will bring us closer to the hot phase of the conflict it will take place. well, it depends on how the previous phases will proceed, but the course is a global course for confrontation, it is already obvious, mr. ruslan, there is an opinion among the analytical environment of ukraine that it was china that acted as the factor for a long time deterring, including the russian federation, from the readiness to use nuclear weapons , at least of a tactical nature, i don't know, you can disagree with me in the end, but in your opinion, after the 20th congress of the communist party,

how do we understand xi jinping's position? at least by some percentage, this statement remains stable , it remains stable, in fact, the state that has nuclear weapons, they are, let's say, diplomatically selfish, they are fighting for the non -proliferation of nuclear weapons, but in fact so that no one else except them, except for the superpowers, how is it considered who owns nuclear weapons, it is already considered a state, so to speak, of the first first category, so that no one else falls into this category, so that nuclear weapons do not spread and in order not to break this system - because if putin applies, if a nuclear state uses weapons against a non-nuclear state that has surrendered its nuclear weapons in this nuclear state, it will break and simply undermine this order and then everyone will start arming themselves with these weapons and then it will be lost

this exclusivity, which the united states, great britain, china, and france have there, for example, which possess nuclear weapons and can set an agenda on the international arena, that is, none of them from these countries is interested in russia breaking the nuclear agenda, mr. ruslan would accordingly like to ask you about the situation with the supply from the people's republic of china of relevant components for the russian defense industry, we understand that the russian defense industry is not distinguished by anything special and significant to a certain extent, all electronics were tied to the supply of both western chips and chips to taiwan and china, well, in taiwan they put a curtain on that deal, yes, regarding china, the information is ambiguous, will they now open this gateway, well, the chinese are too

smart to directly supply russia anything, and in general, to intervene there financially, to financially support them with weapons, but the chinese are not only one country, china has a lot of allies, a lot of countries that depend on china's funding through which it can be done the same, well, the iranian program is impossible without chinese spare parts, e.e., on aliexpress, i buy there, whether directly or not directly, but it is a chinese korean program, e.g., where north korea is actually under the umbrella of china. also, we see progress in missile technology and so on. this is the same also not a direct action because of indirect contacts with us, let us remind you that ruslan sopenko was a diplomat , an economist-internationalist, it would be good to

say goodbye to them. the vector of china's movement to the geopolitical let's say this aspect well, as you could understand, we are preparing the next guest . of a nuclear state for five years, this intention was realized despite the skeptical assessments of many politicians and our colleagues made the plot a good material let 's watch 176 intercontinental political missiles with nuclear warheads and more than 2.5 thousand units of tactical nuclear weapons after the collapse of the ussr, ukraine received the third nuclear arsenal in the world, not only in russia, but also in the west

, washington and moscow demanded nuclear disarmament from ukraine, the american people knew that these militants were aimed at their territory, moreover , clinton and the vice president they said that if ukraine gives in, others will begin, literal economic sanctions will begin, and not only economic ones. on october 24, 1991, the verkhovna rada of independent ukraine adopted a declaration of nuclear-free status the following year, the process of transferring nuclear warheads to russia began in exchange for a semi-voluntary renunciation of nuclear weapons. ukraine received the budapest memorandum, according to which the united states, russia and great britain undertook to respect the independence, sovereignty and borders of ukraine. the document was declarative and did not contain direct obligations of the parties, therefore ukraine now demands specific security guarantees, our task is to work out one hundred percent security guarantees, which will be much more

serious, much more powerful than those guarantees of security that were laid down in the so-called budapest memorandum, where one of the guarantor countries, namely russia, managed to violate than the guarantees. however, the best guarantee of security for a nuclear-free ukraine should be the accession to nato from above the membership kyiv submitted on september 30, 2022 i would like to thank our colleagues for this extremely important informative busyness yes well , he will pick up the topic fedirvenislavsk people's deputy of ukraine, member of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, representative of the president in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, glory to ukraine, mr. fedor glory to the heroes. i congratulate you. defense minister shoigu made a call, so to speak, to the defense ministers of the leading nato member states, and we understand that the conversation was extremely serious. it is about russian attempts to blackmail both the world and ukraine.

it is possible that it is about russia's possible use of tactical nuclear weapons for a reason. they started to babble something on the topic of a dirty nuclear bomb that we would be making, this can be, so to speak, a certain reason for unconventional actions on the part of the russian federation, which can include mr. fedore in the so-called russian package of demands that they are once again putting forward to the world and to the world of ukraine, although we understand that no one will comply with their criminal whims because the package put forward by the russian federation and our western partners has not changed in fact in recent months, this demand to stop supplying ukraine with those types of weapons that allow us to effectively beat the enemy on our land and clean our land, and i think that in addition to this, it is a requirement not to transfer to ukraine any types of weapons that are capable of

hit illegal military targets on the territory of the occupying country, and this is what they are most afraid of, because, even indirectly, judging by the actions and decisions made in the border regions of ukraine in belohorodsk and voronezh , where some special defense line fortifications are being built there, despite the fact that ukraine russia did not attack anyone, russia attacked ukraine, it is now building defenses on its side, on its own, on its territory, and this is a signal for us that it is true, and i think that, first of all, it is a signal for the citizens of the russian federation that everything is definitely not going as planned and that everything is definitely not okay with their special military operation because putin, through his military leaders and diplomats, is trying to put pressure on the western world with demands to stop helping ukraine this is a standard variant of the behavior of the standard model of behavior

of the representatives of the russian federation, and we are definitely not upset about this in this case, because our partners consistently declare their support for ukraine and this support will definitely not be reduced in in any case, we understand that under the control of the occupiers, the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is involved. well, and a storage facility with spent edible fuel, which, well, formally, they can take to create what they are talking about. and what are they accusing us of? we have to act in this situation, in addition to inviting megate representatives to the zaporizhia nuclear power plant as part of a major mission. that we are not removing deer, well, first of all, it is necessary to clearly demonstrate and we constantly demonstrate that ukraine did not in any way violate its obligations under the budapest

numbers, which was not discussed yet. although i do not completely agree with the authors of the story here, because we must understand that the budapest memorandum , despite all its flaws, is called a memorandum on security guarantees and provides for specific obligations of the parties to guarantee territorial integrity and state sovereignty, and moreover, precisely on the budapest the memorandum was a direct reference in the charter on the special partnership between ukraine and the members of nato , and it was also clearly stipulated in this house that all countries are obliged to take any actions that will guarantee the fulfillment of the obligations under budapest. that is, this is an international agreement which should have acted, for example, unfortunately, due to various reasons , he did not act, but his mention of him in your plot, it is absolutely correct, because the united states, france, great britain, russia

undertook not to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear countries, and that is why russian propagandists in the world are somehow trying to raise that ukraine is ready to develop the use of dirty nuclear weapons. they are probably preparing for themselves some, let's say , a scenario in which the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of ukraine is not excluded, although such the scenario for today is extremely low and i think that these threats and these rhetorics are a component of the general large-scale terror and synthesis of ukraine and its western partners and the rampage of this weapons, ukraine is completely open on the territory of ukraine, in contrast to the russian federation , all the guarantors of the bukovei memorandum, except representatives of russia, can be permanently present, and they can have access to any objects of ukraine in order to relocate

ukraine does not plan and does not have intentions and not any actions are changing the exhaustion of some uh-uh prohibited by conventions samples of samples of means of mass destruction well on the other hand mr. fedorov we also do not nurture illusions about criminal intentions of the russian federation and their willingness to implement them, unfortunately, 8 months of war testify that they do not have any special shores. if we talk about specific terms, when the mission of the magathe can arrive, how large-scale it will be, with what powers, and in general, at how many objects can they be stationed observers from the ministry of defense or will it be a kind of wandering mission that they will simply write down the route they will follow, well, first of all, to have any excessive expectations from the next mission, i would say no had in view of the previous experience when they were not even able to react in any way within the limits of the

powers that they have in the armed agreements on nuclear security to guarantee the safety of nuclear facilities on the territory of ukraine, which we at the moment, the state of the tariff seized - seized and in fact uses it as another means of blackmail. and what concerns in general. if i had seen the emissions, there would probably be any high-risk objects that fall within the competence of the mandate . inspected because the russian federation, as we can now see, has already begun to attack the distribution stations, which actually pose a threat to other nuclear plants controlled by ukraine, because the danger of their disconnection from the network is actually created artificially, because the distribution sanctions, which are the targets of the russian federation's attack, what are they about by the way, they openly declare from the screens of their propaganda

channels that it is a component of the general tactics of dragging along let's say this situation when the generation some nuclear plant will not have the possibility of entering the general networks of ukraine and will be forced to stop this generation, and this is also one of the very important components of ensuring nuclear safety, therefore we must demonstrate for representatives of agat all the consequences of terrorist attacks of the russian federation, including on energy to energy facilities that either directly or indirectly endanger nuclear safety thank you mr. fedora fedir veneslavskyi people's deputy of ukraine member of the committee of the supreme the national security council, the president's representative in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, he worked for the live broadcast of the

espresso tv channel. it's very wild when a person who is supposed to protect the country dies. well, not at all in the war, and now there is information that the suspects in the murder of a volunteer defected by svoboda oleksiy shcherbiny were sent to the pre-trial detention center without the right to bail informs about it the deputy head of vo svoboda andriy illenko, the prosecutor's office qualified the actions of only one criminal under the article intentional killing of a vagrant, two others hnatenko and kotyrlo are accused of hooliganism hooliganism three scumbags in a lexus in broad daylight in kyiv attacked a volunteer and then killed him and this it is not called complicity in murder with aggravating circumstances, but hooliganism gives such a situation

andrii illenko three aristep complexes will be delivered to ukraine as soon as possible this was announced by the chancellor germany olasholts verbatim we support your ukraine political, financial, economic , humanitarian, as well as weapons, yes, we also talk about this at the economic conference, and russia shows on civil infrastructure that everything must be done to rebuild and protect ukrainian cities, villages, bridges, streets and railways, so i am very happy that our anti-aircraft missile complexes and anti-aircraft self-propelled installations, and now also the ivy steppe in ukraine, this system can protect a large city , we will put three more such installations in ukraine as soon as possible well, i would like to recall the direct speech of the ukrainian prime minister denys shmygal regarding the effectiveness of the ukrainian air

defense and now the availability of it. the creation of a high-tech military-industrial complex, including thanks to european and world military technologies, says the prime minister, no army on our continent has such experience as unfortunately, today we have a fairly continuous almost 9-year war. ukraine aims to create a high-tech military-industrial complex, including thanks to european world military technologies, attracting investments in design developments and building military factories could the ministry of foreign affairs of france, great britain and the united states states published a joint statement after a conversation with shoigu, we reject russia's blatantly false claims that ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb verbatim by the minister of defense each of our countries spoke with the minister of defense of the russian federation, sergei shoigu, at his request. our countries made it clear that we all reject

russia's blatantly false claims that ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb on its territory. the world will consider any attempt to use such an accusation as reason for escalation ukrainian defenders liberated more than 90 settlements of the kherson region from the russian occupiers southern defense forces liberated more than 90 settlements inhabited by more than 12 thousand people are mentioned in this message, and in the liberated villages complexes of stabilization measures are being implemented, why is this important ah, and because the last figure for the number of settlements that we heard was around 75 or 80% of settlements, that is, there is a tendency to increase yes yes well that's why the enemy is still wild, now we are adding to our marathon ihor ostisha, the diplomat of extraordinary superficiality, the ambassador of ukraine in

lebanon. glory to ukraine, ambassador. we welcome you on the air of the espresso tv channel . by our tv viewers, mr. ambassador, there are some problems with the sound. i hope we will solve it in the next second, maybe the microphone is disconnected . yes, there is a contact, mr. igor. accordingly, we would like to ask you right away, so to speak, from the start, to ask you about the situation that happened in syria. suppose israel bombed an iranian military base, where are they? had a lot of unpleasant surprises, in particular the corresponding drones, is this information already confirmed? yes, of course, and this is a story that has many

continuations, in fact, such actions by israel are very common recently happened on the territory of syria, it affected not only, let's say, iran, but also some of lebanon, and it is obvious that this will continue, and i want to especially emphasize that this is done from time to time with the tacit consent of russia, and it must be understood that also in syria and this is happening on the territory of syria, there is also such an unspoken competition for influence in this area also between russia and iran, as it is not surprising , but we must understand that israel is a natural ally for us in this case, and i am a little surprised this is actually a rather careful position of israel, because in fact we must understand that these

drones were produced specifically against israel. and actually, the experience that ukraine is currently gaining in the fight against iranian drones is also extremely valuable to israel, so i feel that in addition to intelligence information in addition to the information about the features of these drones, it is obvious that israel can go for deeper cooperation, but we understand that the elections are on november 1, so of course we need apostles and we can say that it is now on the stop button, obviously we need wait for the end of the israeli elections, what things happen in public, and some things, as we understand , can happen not in public. well, let's hope that something happens in private. exceed statistical averages. how seriously is the ayatollah regime

going to support russia in its military aggression against ukraine? ballistic missiles, and here, of course, iran is now. if between the scylla harida is trying to pass, because, on the one hand, the position of the europeans crimea and the states regarding sanctions is very important to them, after all, they are quite painful. they are hitting iran and they are trying to do as much as possible . so as to avoid heavy sanctions against iran on the other hand. they have certain obligations to russia and that is why i think that they will balance er until the end and this actually confirms the fact that iran denies er that they are not there as we say now that is practically, the iranians are doing everything possible so that

you are not responsible for these actions, although we have also seen a very serious reaction to the attempt, uh, let's say this, to study the sulfur of the origin of these drones, and we even see threats from iran. but nevertheless , we understand the huge dependence of iran primarily from european countries such as france , great britain, germany, and of course the united states of america, so unfortunately, it is obvious that on the one hand they will try to some extent to listen to the west, but at the same time they will help russia in this region is not without its own difficulties, the relations between lebanon and israel have already been mentioned by us , and literally recently the demarcation

of the state border in the mediterranean sea between israel and lebanon took place. to project perhaps on the position of two countries in relation to the same wound, perhaps this is a very important issue for us, by the way, there are even certain advantages for ukraine, which i will talk about a little later, i would like to say that really after the decision of the constitutional the council of israel now the way to sign this agreement is open it will be this agreement can be signed as early as this week all this is happening with the mediation of the united states of america and the special american envoy and if this is done these documents will be transferred to the united states according to the depository of of the united nations and such an agreement can enter into force , there are several important points that i would like to

emphasize first of all. e-e will leave the lebanese market and that is what happened, the russian company novatek left the consortium that actually tried to work and develop these gas fields on the lebanese territory, and this is a very positive signal for us, because as we understand the gas that will be extracted in the israeli zone of responsibility it will obviously be directed to europe in the first place, and in this way russia's influence on this region and especially on lebanon is minimized, which is very important for us, and on the other hand, koliman gets a very serious chance at least to somehow improve the economic situation, because now ivan is in a very deep and serious crisis, but there is another threat that i would like to say about, we are also

starting the proposal of ne tanyahu, who can return to power after the elections on november 1. and actually, ta netenyahu is one of those who opposes this agreement and obviously this can also become a certain threat to the implementation of these extraction and gas extraction projects in the mediterranean sea on the border of israel and lebanon, i would like to ask you if it is possible and you know any appropriate levers in order to do something suspend iran's activity in the supply of missile systems and systems of unmanned aerial vehicles of various complexity that kill our civilians , perhaps there are some other levers, in particular in ukraine, which should be used of course . there are many levers here, and primarily these levers

are located in this middle eastern region i could also mention turkey, which has a rather serious influence on the situation in syria, and of course israel, because israel really could take on a certain part of this threat. the political will of the new israeli government. at the same time, we understand that there can also be a serious influence on israel from the united states of america and europe, especially in the matter of granting certain preferences and wounds, including the exit of, say, iranian oil energy carriers to international markets, that is, here it is possible to act with certain methods, as we say, a lot of gingerbread, and it is obvious that the western countries, our partners, are also thinking about such important things, how

to restrain iran in the end, i would definitely like to to note, today they talked about the fact that this grain initiative continues. unfortunately , ukrainian ports work only at 25-30%, and part of the grain that comes out of them should, in principle, arrive in lebanon, which needs it, as we understand it, and we know we know that our grain has been stolen by russia, and it is specifically needed in the world, and i am just interested in the position of lebanon in relation to this grain crisis, because it can be scanned. russia is giving all the signals that there may be some new demands in the fall. again some strange russian movements in the bosphorus for example well and so on here i would like to say first of all that a new agreement was signed

between russia and syria very recently because there is a serious shortage of grain in syria and this means that this track can be strengthened by russia and syria, on the other hand, i would like to emphasize that our efforts to arrest the syrian russian project of the leonisia ship nevertheless had a very powerful result and it was a very serious warning for the russians and for silicon until now, we no longer see such attempts. let's put it this way, to moor at least one of the ships in lebanese ports from our side, we constantly help lebanon, our share of lebanese grain imports is about 65%. it fell somewhat because before the war it was 80%, but ukraine remains the main supplier of food for ivan, this is very important, and every week

a line with reni and ishmael has already been established, a ship or vessel with ukrainian grain goes to lebanon, and in this way we practically try to influence on the situation in the region and we are also trying to support lebanon in a very severe economic crisis, so it is clear that there are certain threats here, but ukraine remains a reliable supplier, and the middle eastern countries and african countries see this as well. obviously, this seriously affects the image of ukraine in the region . in iran, for example, they bake kebabs from our grain, and if they bake, can we influence something like that? well, you see, we supply bread to many middle eastern countries, practically and it is clear that
