i.e. representatives and our beloved victoria spartz got to the house of representatives and it is certain that she will have the opportunity to conduct an investigation there, to make some inquiries, to tell something there, of course. sometimes they vote for important things, but for us it is definitely the most important thing to signal, and so far, libra does not waver . and so far no side has prevailed in it thank you mr. oleksandr this was oleksandr hare , an expert on foreign and security policy at the center for defense strategies this was a program the verdict with her serhii rudenko i wish everyone a good evening and say goodbye to you see you tomorrow until 17:10 goodbye congratulations this is freedom life my name is vlad and lazur and today's issue is completely and completely almost completely and completely we decided to dedicate

today to the elections in the united states of america the americans elected yesterday, more precisely , they elected, and today the counting of the elections continues, the congress in the united states elected congressmen and senators, these elections are called midterms and although the president of the united states is not currently elected by midterm elections is often seen as a rehearsal for the presidential elections that will take place in the united states in two years in 2024. today we will talk about this in detail about what to expect from ukraine, but also we keep our finger on the pulse in kherson, but literally less than an hour ago, the political, political , military leadership of the russian the federation announced that they are withdrawing their troops from the right bank of the dnieper well, this means that russian forces are leaving kherson, what does this all mean, we will also talk today and we will be interested in our speakers in particular well, i return to the elections in the united states, they lasted, as i said yesterday, all day, now the counting continues and it

may continue for several days in a row, i will remind you that all 435 seats in the house of representatives, as well as 35 and 100 seats in the senate are at stake. now in real time we can see what the preliminary results of these elections look like now let's look at the map first please show us the congress i hope i will also open this map in real time if we talk about the house of representatives, the democrats currently have 174 seats and the republicans have 199 seats. i would like to remind you that the house of representatives is currently headed by the representative of the democratic party, nancy pelosi. and if the republicans get a majority in the congress, then according to the speaker of the congress, there will be a representative from the republican party . parties, and now, please show us what the results of the midterm elections are, or rather, they have not yet been fully

counted in the senate, but we are now seeing eh in the senate currently 46 seats are given to the democrats and 47 seats to the republicans and for the majority it is actually necessary for one party or another to receive 51 seats and at the moment the seats in the senate are divided equally between the republicans and the democrats but the decisive vote belongs to the vice president of the usa kamala harris and ot now there is also a high probability that this is the case. by the way, the opinions of americanists are divided about whether the republicans will take the senate or limit themselves to the congress . are the countries of ukraine really betting on the republicans? if so, what are they hoping for? we will also discuss this, but first let's see how these elections were held on horses in national

latin american costumes and with lush musical accompaniment, so some voters of phoenix, arizona, went to the polling stations, according to the participants. a lot is decided about this parade in the midterm elections, like any other in the usa, and they want as many latin americans as possible to vote, we are here to encourage more latinos to vote today making sure they get to the polls in this election like any other has a lot at stake we have gubernatorial and senatorial races but we also wanted to add a little more of our culture to the ballot i think the latino vote will be one of the most important in these elections. arizona is one of the most important on the political map of the united states. inflation here is

higher than the american average. the problem of migration and security is still a problem because the state borders mexico, in addition, the consequences of global warming are very obvious here. arizona suffers from riots and fires. arizonans also do not stop arguing fiercely about the legality of abortion. received by the representative of the democrats , ahead of his competitor, the republican mehmet oza, by only 2%."

no less important, but already in the gubernatorial race, was the re-election of republican ron disantis in florida, the results of the vote in this state can be decisive for the fate of the house of representatives, because these votes can be decisive in the upcoming elections for the president of the united states. i think that desantis is the luke skye of the vocatics. he is like the last hope and he really does not care what anyone thinks and he ready to do what needs to be done for his people and for his state did not go well during this vote and without scandals in the same arizona in some polling stations the voting devices did not work central christian church and none of the machines are working and they say that we need to leave. the government of the mori district is digging. and there were problems with the voting machines. they called it a printing malfunction that affected 60 devices.

later, the voters were informed that all their votes will be taken into account . us senators also in these midterm elections. some states also elected governors. voting results in two states can already be called historical notes , for example, maryland elected its first black governor, who became a democrat. and in massachusetts, the first female governor, democrat morahili, who will also become the first openly lesbian in the country in the position of governor of the state, and the governor of arkansas, the elected former press secretary, more precisely , president donald trump, republican sarah sanders, you could see her before. often, her father is also mikekabi previously held the position of governor for 10 years. well, in many states, simultaneously with elections, referenda are held on various issues , including those related to sports

marijuana rates, for example, in maryland, voters decided to legalize cannabis, although in some other states, similar initiatives seem to be defeated so far. well, we will talk in detail about what to expect in ukraine from these elections. of the eurasian center of the pan -atlantic council hello. in the midterm elections, i'm talking about him, then he said that if we lose the house of representatives and the senate, it will be two terrible years, uh, and he says that the good news is that he has a pen to sign the veto, well, according to everything, uh, the democrats lost the house representatives. and we still don’t know about the senate. tell me, what is

the whole horror for biden, which he said that what awaits in the next two years, including himself? well, i think that he spoke in order to convince the americans in to preside over democratic candidates i think that the eyes of politicians are everywhere, he is ready to magnify the consequences, let's say victory for the members of this election and without a doubt today we see, i would say, well, what kind of victory are you for the democratic party and the republic, yes, they will take or all evil in the chamber representatives, but they are at such a level that one or not in what size, which people expected means the best for the democrats, it is possible

that we saw that what we have is still ongoing, we don’t know yet. and if the publications will become too in the senate and more, but he will be able to do this because their position in the congress will be stronger and they can oppose the initiative of the president, and this is normal if it turns out that way, well, this is probably the essence of american democracy, but uh , in this context, a question often sounds in ukraine regarding the further support of ukraine , you probably know that the white house assured me that the majority in the congress, whatever it may be, will support the further support of ukraine in the future, but together topics but the united states simply shows that

americans do not really like the work of president biden and his party will this dissatisfaction somehow affect aid for ukraine ? what do you think is okay about ukraine? and some observers were afraid of this. big and role and i would say that the chomp wing of the party could have such a victory that could have a bad effect on american support for ukraine, that's right

, but that's what's going on now urge, yes, as of today, and in my opinion, this help will be our policy for the next two years of ukrainian diplomats to establish contacts with the republicans, because we remember 2016, when the ukrainian government, not only for the sake of justice, did nahillary clinton's bet was then won by donald trump, a republican. from your point of view , how

well was he? and he leads the politics of ukraine, they communicate soprista, vitamins, games, publicans and democrats in the conversion, and they, i would say, and this is all my boring, and they explain. and, too, your representative of the russian federation who come here will meet with our representatives and senators, and he also represents

ukraine very well. а-а общаются с американским and you very much influence the right side and what will you allow me when i return to the elections, the reuters agency will write about the fact that yesterday on kraimer they wrote about the fact that in russia they hope that the midterm elections in the usa will affect the help chaos will follow in ukraine and the united states, oh, that's all you said to help - it definitely won't affect. what do you think, where do you think such beliefs come from? why are they so sure that these elections will inevitably lead to chaos and a stop aid for ukraine is here and desinformation

and also not understanding our system, i would say that gas would be stupid to just think that gas will come out of these i chose, but again, regarding the american shelf of the ivanovo region of ukraine about the russian war against ukraine, they took a bet on agromania but even if the fight was good, the publicists a-a captured and both paid our congresses and if they had won a large majority in both a-a palals, after all, it was not

me i wasn't sure what the result was, but the changes are essential to our politics. the return of ukraine and one more question, and it will no longer be directly related to the american elections, but i can't help but ask. literally, a while ago, the russian leadership announced that they were withdrawing their troops . from the right bank of the dnieper we are leaving kherson a-a. what do you think. how can after this, eh, can any negotiation process begin after this, or at all? can you predict some eh, next steps, i have in diplomacy regarding negotiations or uh, the american media wrote about what the italians wrote. more precisely, they wrote about what could be after the russian troops withdraw from kherson. ukraine could start negotiations from a position of strength. that's what you think about it. i

was a diplomat for 31 hours. i believe in the need. diplomats and negotiations, but i understand that negotiations are useful when they can serve interests, and negotiations go astray . they captured the territory of the boats this year and in the

14th year. the mortars that were given were by the kremlin and only the ukrainian territory, well, ukrainians, and we know the horrors for ukrainians under the occupation of the kremlin. thank you very much. i think you expressed yourself clearly. and about the midterm elections in the united states - this is the main topic of our broadcast today. the leader of the republicans in the us house of representatives, kevin mccard, who after the midterm elections can become the speaker of the house

of representatives, that is, he will replace the current speaker nancy pilossi declared his support for ukraine in an interview with cnn published on the eve of the elections. he said that he very much supports ukraine, but in the event of a victory of the republicans in the elections, requests for assistance to ukraine will not be automatically approved in congress, he said that they need more accountability to control the effectiveness of the use of allocated funds, previously mccartney said that the republicans are ready to reduce aid to ukraine next year. i will quote what he said. i think people will experience an economic recession and not write a check to ukraine without marking the amount. republicans in election campaigns traditionally focus on internal problems and economic growth . in the minority and

the american people are ready for a majority that will offer a new direction that will return americans to the right path, the republicans are ready to do it this is a new direction to a strong economy where you can fill your tank and feed your family where your salary increases and not decreases well, let's continue to discuss the course of the midterm elections in the united states, bohdan kulyk, a representative of the ukrainian community in new york, joins the broadcast. have a good day. we have a good evening good day greetings bohdan tell us who the ukrainian diaspora usually votes for in these midterm elections question i think i think so more or less so fifty fifty i think that many people from ukrainian émigrés are now voting for the british , and on the one hand, and on the other hand, of course, there are many

democrats. i, for example, left the democracy. i think that this is also very much related to where people live, well , just like anywhere in america, it is divided both politically and geographically that is, i do not think that there is only one answer to this, but i want to say that of course all ukrainians who vote in one way or another , they vote thinking that they support ukraine and this is of course a very important issue for them, well, you are probably not the first year to follow by election and in congress and the president of the united states. please tell me this year, the context has changed , because ukraine is quite dependent on the united states, and we are talking about military aid and financial aid. is this context somehow felt in the voting of this year's voting by ukrainians or just americans? let's talk to the ukrainians first, now let's talk about the americans separately. i think that with the ukrainians it's undeniable

, it's so undeniable that usually people think more about such topics. well, if you support more there social expenses are less social expenses they like more of this state intervention don't like these topics - this is what decides how people will vote ah but now of course there is another question if i some candidate there expresses some kind of lack of support, let's say, such restraint to ukraine, of course, this is a big question, do i want to vote from it or not, this is absolutely true for americans, just for the majority of americans. of course, they also support ukraine, but this is not the main issue, the main thing for them is still an ordinary one american affairs, that is, it is the economy, it is inflation, it is, well, there is the issue of abortion. well, everything is like that, everything is

different. it is political, all the things are like that. ukrainian support is also of course the attitude towards ukraine is also important, but i don’t think that is decisive. and how strong is the polarization at the moment in american society, if you compare it with 2016, for example, do you feel the same polarization? or is it something else? oh, well, i think that polarization is getting stronger compared to 2016-16 , too. and i think that compared to them, i i came there for the first time in the 1990s, and then in the mid-1990s. maybe everyone thought so. well, there is no big difference. by the way, who will be a democrat because of a publican? i am looking at some of his positions. i like someone there, i like everything else a but now i honestly can't even imagine it, most people will just say that i may not fully support

him how do you like someone, republican or democratic candidate, i don't like abc there, but i'm afraid that the opposite party will get too much influence, so i'll just vote for my party, mmm, what's new, despite everything else, the polarization is of course very, very big and it's getting stronger, and i don't think it's good, but that's what it is, it's such a stage now in america, well , i don’t know, perhaps the peak of this polarization may be in 2024, but about p- about this later, you partially mentioned the needs of american society and the fact that they are more interested in some internal problems , the economy, inflation, and so on, but that’s all- so what attitudes of the population regarding aid to ukraine. i want to move away from the consensus that is constantly voiced by representatives of the white house that the

united states will not be with ukraine as much as it is necessary, but actively. this thesis this thesis of the american government is shared by the american people. i think that ukraine's support for ukraine is very strong and especially c - the issue of principle. that is, everyone understands very well and simply feels how criminal everything that russia is doing and that it is simply wrong if it is immoral and something is still needed on this occasion, and of course you have to support ukraine, especially when ukraine wins ah-ah, that is, i think that this understanding is completely the question starts with the fact that when they say to you, ok, we do not support ukraine, but we have many of our own problems, too. if we

have to somehow there is a choice between one and the other well here i think that the answer between the democrats and the republicans will be a little different, but it's all in what percentages are you reading, i'm not going to say the exact percentages, but why should there be confusion, but it is important that there is support in both from both sides, and i think one worked, again, the question is, but i think that in the republican camp there is more of an idea that it is necessary to support, but it is also necessary to count. and democracy, i think , understands more that it is simply necessary to support because this issue is so important, and tell me were you personally impressed by these elections, perhaps because what i see is that, in principle, the democrats expected that the republicans would take

the majority in congress, but i understand that the results could have been much better for the democrats the worst republicans take the majority, but not , not so, not as big a majority as the democrats hoped for, what can you say? well, i didn't have such personal expectations in my own , because i myself don't do the math, i don't even know a but i just have a feeling. well, i read there, of course, what he is only asking for, and still, it seems to me that what has happened now is good for ukraine, and because i think that it would be best if the democrats remained completely in power and not just because that they are democrats, and because when there is such a united government, when both chambers of the parliament are compressed and the executive power, they are all together, it will mean that some decisions can be made when the

government is divided, it will mean that there will be a lot of such arguments than and quarrels and simply some will try not to prevent others from carrying out something like that and it's just technically technically but it will also weaken the structure well, where to put it makes it difficult to make some kind of decision-making with regard to ukraine, in particular, so it would be better if she i remained in power, i remained the only one, this may not have happened. we don't know yet, but the fact that there will not be a large majority of any party. i think it's good. i'll just say for the sake of justice and for the understanding of our viewers that in reality, this is always the case. in the history of american elections, when the party that is not represented in the white house loses in the midterm elections, the exception seems to have occurred only under president bush, when representatives of his own

party won the midterm elections. this is always the case, this is probably the basis of american democracy, the system of restraining counterbalances. this is how i look to you. i thank you very much. bohdan kulyk, a representative of the ukrainian community in new york, was on radio svoboda. well, then we will show how donald trump, the former american president, and joe biden, the current one, voted. the american president, they voted earlier, let's see. the president of the united states, joe biden , voted early in the midterm elections to the congress, namely, on october 29, he arrived at the polling station together with his granddaughter netali, who voted this year for the first time the rest of the time i will convince you that this is not a referendum this is a choice a fundamental choice between two very different visions of this country this is what it is about we love you we love you and so

supporters meet former us president donald trump and his wife melania at a polling station in the state of florida couple trump voted on november 8, this is a very important election, i hope the right things will happen, and we all know that these election results should show what influence trump has within the republican party to the party and among its voters, he previously announced a quote from a large statement by analysts - this is taken as a hint that trump will later announce that he will run for the presidency again in 2024. today we are discussing the midterm elections of the united states, but i also cannot pass by the news which we receive in the context of the kherson region, as i said at the beginning, the commander of the russian troops in the war in ukraine, serhii syrovikin, suggested to the minister of defense
