they don't have anything else to motivate them, but they will bring them to our land in the same way as those russian troops who came from the north to us at one time, i don't even doubt that we will be able to stop them and defeat them, but what will happen next? this is nobody he cannot say, but rather that belarus as an independent state may disappear, the fakes will remain because it is very profitable for russia to have, for example, volon. does any international organization have another voice, by the way, it also existed during the soviet union, the voice of belarus, the soviet ukraine, i think that this the voice will be preserved, but the state itself, its currency, the police, the special services, the army, everything will simply dissolve in the russian empire, and it is putin's hope that this is just the sip

that can prolong his life and his power or something for a certain small period of time, he is now doing everything to stay in power, at least for some time, and i don't know why, maybe in order to bargain for some conditions, he let go of his hole. maybe, but he has no prospects of victory despite everything his rattling of weapons, the good uniforms of a bunch of generals, you know all this after those 10 months in ukraine, no one takes it seriously anymore, not in the world, not in ukraine, not even among his close partners, mr. general, i know that you monitor the situation in neighboring moldova, and you know the situation there what is happening there on the day of the meeting between putin and lukashenka, the secretary or rather the director

of the country's intelligence and security service oleksandr ustya stated that according to their data, in 2023, russia intends to invade moldova the day after that, already the minister of foreign affairs in romania refuted this statement, said that there are no such threats, or is there a threat or possibility of the russian federation entering the territory of moldova and thus creating another front for ukraine well, let's not turn this statement into a joke, because you know i was already there yesterday everyone asked me yesterday, i answered yes, it is possible, but the only thing left is to take the baknu, remember so after the baknut, the next one will be moldova, well, let's be serious, they couldn't go the way they planned and moldova is behind the back of ukraine and in fact the watchful eye of

romania, yes, for sure. at this stage, nothing is in danger, not even the fmr is not the er, a possible offensive from the north that someone there is planning or not planning er, the contingent that is on the territory of er transnistria it is subordinate to the russian federation. it has from one and a half to 1,700 people. that's about hmm. well, i don't know. well, there are two battalion tactical groups that are, well, if they fit into any military operations on the territory of ukraine, or something else. this is how they will be destroyed, simply destroyed, and the situation will be radically changed, but the situation there is completely different, 2/3 of these military personnel are citizens of transnistria and, accordingly, moldova, who simply have russian passports. citizens there have

three, and sometimes four passports, they have to pass through transnistria they have a passport of moldova, they have a passport of the russian federation, and some have a passport of ukraine. so, that's the story, and so on until the end. simply no one listened to this director of the seven moldova seven moldova - this is the security information service, it is an analogue of our security service of ukraine, no one he just listened to the theoretical schedules , he had to do it. well, as in the original, i just looked at what he said there, he clearly said that it was all theoretical if ukraine is not enough, if ukraine is not enough, if ukraine, god forbid they will survive and we will help everything for moldova , the situation is more or less positive was proposed for the resolution of ukraine from transnistria because as a continent of russian and transnistrian troops

totaling about 15,000 people, the city of all military personnel there and power structures was also proposed very clearly if there was an aggravation of the situation, ukraine offered moldova to issue an ultimatum to this contingent and to extrude it through moldova, i don't know, in some closed wagons, to send it through the eu countries, i don't know the bearings, for example, to close this topic once and for all, moldova was afraid to go to this, this , this, this issue was resolved because they believe that if the issue of dniester is resolved in this way, and an ultimatum is given to force them to surrender, russia can start bombarding not only ukraine with missiles, but her moldova, as well, moldova has no opportunity at all, and cannot

cover it even with elementary levers, that is why they still keep such an indirect neutrality, thank you, mr. general, for your participation in our program . viktor yagun of ukraine, friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our social networks. those who are currently watching us on youtube and facebook, please like this video in order to it was promoted in the trends of youtube and facebook, well, those who are watching us now on youtube , you can find a button under this video called sponsor, you can become a sponsor of our youtube channel, help us develop our youtube channel, it is easy to do , there is a fairly simple instruction, so your help we need it and join our sponsors. well, further on, we are in touch

with a diplomat, an expert on foreign and security policy of the center for defense strategies oleksandr hara, mr. oleksandr good day, good health to you, glory glory to the heroes of ukraine. good evening. so today is such a big foreign policy evening. volodymyr zelenskyy is on his way to the united states of america. they have already published the preliminary program of what will happen today. he will meet with biden in the white house, then there will be a bilateral meeting with the president. a joint press conference is planned for kyiv at 11:00 p.m. 30 and at 3:15 p.m. on thursday, december 22, zelensky will arrive at the capitol, where the congress of the united states of america is located, and at 2:30 at night zelensky will speak at a joint meeting congress, let's quite simply explain to our

viewers what will happen during this first foreign visit, uh, after the beginning of uh, at the beginning of a large-scale war, zelensky's first foreign visit and the visit to the united states of america well, i think that this is definitely a visit of extraordinary importance, both symbolic and practical for ukraine and in principle for the united states, it is not for nothing that the face of president zelenskyi with the signature that zelenskyi and the ukrainian people have shown steadfastness of spirit means other great qualities and we are already the country of the year according to icons and times magazine and so on, that is, it is a tribute to what was actually done by the ukrainian people for the sake of their future, their freedom, their democracy, and it is definitely that there will be such 5

minutes of glory for mr. zelensky, which he 100% deserved first of all, with his phrase that i need ammunition, not a trip, yes, it is important to bring it up, but it will also be important for president biden to show, first of all, to the americans, and actually to his opponents, that he criticizes too much spending on what you are looking at is ukraine, the leader of a european democratic country that defends itself against the largest nuclear power, thanks to the fact that we help it with weapons with money and political support, that is, he will also have certain political dividends from this. but the most important thing is definitely something else for us. literally yesterday, the information was so widespread that the congress is ready to allocate four 44.9 billion dollars for the next year of aid for us. and this is 20%

more than this year. well, 20% is 8 billion i am not talking about the 800 million included in the defense budget, that is, they are not counted here and i am not talking about other aid articles, of course we are waiting for the announcement that pets will be provided to ukraine and this is important not only because this system will protect the ukrainian sky from russian planes and missiles, but these high-tech weapons show that the united states trusts us so much and that we have a mutual understanding that we will have such an important and high- tech weapon, let's say, and it just shows that there is er, long-term, let’s say the prospects of our cooperation in the defense sector and assistance to ukraine. that is, it is also very important. well, of course, it is important to show the american society and, above all, the trumpians, and in the house of representatives, a large number of

them came there and in the congress that it is actually worth helping ukraine since we are, by and large , first of all such a successful case, this is the success story of the united states in recent years . a failure, and i am not talking about how it happened, how unhappy the allies were that they were not consulted in ukraine, there is indeed a success story for the president of ukraine. it is extremely important, in addition to that, let's say thank you in front of all the american people and , er, the president and the congress of two parties, in fact, of two parties, it is definitely important to say that

we need help and further. he will actually say whether he will repeat this formula of ukrainian victory, the formula of ukrainian peace, which is absolutely acceptable for ukraine. i mean the restoration of territorial integrity, this is when he says that everything should be done in accordance with the un charter, and he answered, corresponding contributions are also punishments criminals for what they committed on the territory of ukraine. well, other points are extremely important, this is ukraine's own safe future. i hope that he will mention nato there and not just these kyiv compacts or some other useful things, but they certainly should not be a substitute for us to ensure our security in the future, and i think that he will also warn against complacency that those weapons. the money that was given to us, they allowed us to liberate a large part of the territory, and we will probably say it like this this warning will be

absolutely in the same line as mr. zuluzny's article in the laws of the city, where he said that russia is not yet defeated and therefore definitely that ukraine needs a large amount of equipment and assistance in order to to the end, they finished this wretch on the territory, mr. oleksandr, when we talk about the 44 billion dollars that yesterday allocated extraordinary aid to ukraine, as they say, the congress of the united states of america, it is obvious that it is not only about what, literally, these 44 billion dollars will be 20 billion was spent on military aid, it seems, that is, half and part of the money will be spent on replenishing the stocks of the americans from which we are provided with these weapons, which means that not all 44 billion dollars will immediately go to the country in

quality of aid, it is known that today during the meeting with zelensky, biden should announce about 2 billion dollars, from which non-patriotic air defense systems will be purchased, and then they will not immediately go to ukraine either, because there will be ukrainian military personnel who will be trained, as biden said, in a third country somewhere how to use these patriot complexes, but there is one more question that can be brought to the attention of the congress, it is that the biden administration wants to recognize russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. but there is one nuance because daria kalyniuk wrote on her on the facebook page about what they want to push through the congress to recognize russia as an aggressor country, which commits acts of terrorism , that is, it is not a country that sponsors terrorism, where there is a clear legal meaning, which already has

other consequences, and this is the full economic isolation of russia. and so on, those who work with russia , too it's out of the law, what do you think, can the congress make this small mistake in the definition, well, that is, not fully legally repeat the state sponsor of terrorism , and the aggressor country that commits an activism in order for this whole complex to be under which then countries that are a state sponsor of terrorism fall in so that they are not applied to russia. well, you know, there is one more bill, in fact, two, and in the house of representatives, in the senate, the definition of what russia is doing in ukraine as, uh, actual genocide, modern genocide. i'm not talking about the genocide of the ukrainian people in the 32nd and 33rd years, of course, the congress can accept it, because there are absolutely all the reasons, but the question is

that this very status of the country and terrorist sponsor is determined by the executive branch, it is determined in fact by the secretary of state of the united states and this, let's say, causes certain ms. let's say so, legal consequences for that country, and this primarily means that this country can not receive aid, cannot buy weapons, dual-purpose goods, there are financial and other restrictions, in fact, if congress adopts such a resolution, and well, this may actually happen, but this will not mean that there may be legal consequences for russia, since this is what the biden administration should do, why it does not want to do it is completely understandable first of all, there is still a certain dialogue going on with russia. let's say that there is a certain dialogue. first of all, we recently saw how this basketball player and mr. buta,

who was called a trafficker, were actually returned to the russian federation. he is now becoming a political star there. in fact, there are still several american citizens who are there, and of course there are other interests, for example the same ones. the same agreement on strategic offensive weapons that the americans want to continue there expires in two years but it is clear that this type of agreement takes a lot of time to develop. i am not talking about the fact that there should be space left for diplomats for this country. although everyone absolutely understands who is in charge of it, what is the essence, it is in other directions, so i am not sure that the biden administration understands that russia is not a sponsor of tourism, it is terrorism , it is, in fact, a country that commits it to genocide as a normal everyday practice, but they are unlikely to admit it,

oleksandr, this visit of zelensky to the united states of america is quite symbolic, because we see that putin is a person that no one wants to see on his territory. it seems to me that he had one departure. he had a veran there, if i am not mistaken, and in principle during the great war of russia against ukraine, uh, for him, the majority countries were closed the day before yesterday, he was in belarus, he met with lukashenka, he tried to agree on something, he was in central asia when there was a summit of the leaders of the asian region, what does this visit of zelensky mean for the whole world, that is, what are these markers, which well what he demonstrates regarding

russia in relation to ukraine well, it seems to me, first of all , he demonstrates what biden said, that this is actually a confrontation between the democratic world or the liberal world and the autocratic or totalitarian russian federation. and ukraine will win or lose everything from what is happening war depends on security as a trap because china is watching and learning lessons both from the point of view of military equipment, well, that is, i have a strategy of tactics, as well as the reaction of the world to this brutal aggression of russia against a neighboring country, and of course what if the event fails this operation will fail to support us and we will not be able to defend our independence and return all our territories, then it is certain that china will have the opportunity to return its native harbor, and taiwan, and taiwan is an absolutely explosive point, it

is a point, and the most so, let's say, the confrontation of the global and definitely which can lead to unforeseen consequences, traditional diplomacy by this they mean a nuclear conflict, that's actually one point, the second point is definitely what is, let's say, support of ukraine from the point of view of principles international law, since it is not the use of force, it is contained in the un charter, it is not a violation of borders, it is contained in the final act of the bsc-75th year, and if ukraine does not manage to defend itself thanks to the help of our western partners, it means that these principles others can to violate this is the first point, the second point is that only the rights of force are important, then other states. i am not talking about iran and north korea, but other states will think that they need nuclear weapons or some other weapon of mass destruction

since they have neighbors who encroach on the territory or on their sovereignty, and that is why it is so fundamental to return all the territories of ukraine, including the crimea, the autonomous evolution of the city of sevastopol, and also unconditional guarantees of the security of ukraine. i think that this visit is practical from the point of view of money. weapons are also ideological from the point of view that, however, the totalitarian regime will not get away with these aggressions, they will bear the responsibility, so far we have not reached this part, i mean the practical sense only evidence is being collected for the future term of the tribunal e-e europeans are expanding their jurisdiction to e means crimes committed in accordance with the rome statute and in accordance with the geneva conventions i.e. war crimes and other crimes can be tried in european countries i.e. russia still has to go through this procedure and be

is defined as crime, and the last name of the criminal must be mentioned, that is, they are signals not only to ukraine and not only to europe, but to the whole world that the world order is based on rules, it is not yet destroyed, but it can be restored and actually these investments are political, diplomatic, with money and weapons, they are aimed at making these principles work again, then the coordinator of strategic communications at the national security radio of the united states of america said that joe biden intends to discuss with volodymyr zelenskyi his the idea of ​​a just world that should end er end the conflict in ukraine and he said that face to face he wants to discuss not only what the united states of america is doing for ukraine and they will continue to do so in the future, but as a result try to

reach what president zelenskyi calls a just peace, uh, i mean a just peace, i understood that, i mistranslated a just peace, uh, do you see any prospects now that the united states of america can leave to some formula, well to a peaceful one, to push volodymyr zelensky there to some negotiations, at least with the russian federation, or that is not being discussed now, considering that today putin and shoigu talked about the increase of the russian army, about the fact that the confrontation with nato and the west will continue, that is, is there now a window of opportunity to at least start this dialogue? well, it seems to me that, you know, ukrainian society was afraid of some backstage agreements or some kind of pressure on the presidents of ukraine, on two presidents from three e administrations and glory to god, what are we going

to say now? we have absolutely clear confirmation that there is nothing about ukraine without ukraine. this principle works, and it absolutely works. let's say, there is nothing to worry about here. the ukrainian side about the unjust peace and about what points i said that the un charter means the actual cessation of aggression and the withdrawal of troops from the entire territory of ukraine, including the autonomous republic of crimea , to the ministry of vastopol, we constantly have to remind this because some political scientists or former western diplomats, including unfortunately, they are starting to promote such an opinion. well, let's make sure that there is no war . i'm simplifying it, so let's leave something to putin, because he will, we'll say so. and for him it is sacred. let's

leave crimea. let's talk about it for centuries or there for decades. i don't know how they imagine it there. but with regard to other territories, we will agree that russia will leave there absolutely. we don't have to agree to this, and i it is absolutely certain that president zelenskyi will not even give the opportunity to be misunderstood that he is ready for such a thing. moreover, he has already stated to the ukrainian people more than once that we will also return crimea, so it seems to me that the question can only be tactical, as i it seems that there is definitely something to be said about the expansion of aid and ukraine's acquisition of means that would give the opportunity to strike on russian territory. two weeks ago, we heard from the american military that they no longer encourage ukraine not to strike on russian territory. that we need the means to destroy the platforms. it

seems to me that this is an important element of the approach of the peace. since we have to destroy what then dozens of rockets and where are the drones and other things, and russia must understand that it is vulnerable not only from single ukrainian drones or rockets, as we saw in england, something has flown into crimea or to er-er there, let’s say so in new russian, of course , that it is important that it has the american side should revise its policy of deterrence in relation to the russian federation, from the point of view of certain people, we already fought the administration . i don’t even have biden, we crossed a number of red lines, what does crimea mean, then is this kerch bridge, and then does belgrade mean there er, belgorod, i apologize for the periodic claps happening there, actually. they have five more because otherwise, this war will drag on,

otherwise we will waste our valuable resource of our own citizens, and the russian federation is generating forces and will throw its meat at this ukraine. it seems to me that co- talking about the peace formula, it is better for mr. zelensky to focus on how to achieve it as soon as possible. and for this, we need to provide more help with heavy equipment and weapons. and in fact , all these obstacles have been removed so that we can use american weapons. against military targets on the territory of the russian federation, mr. oleksandr, at the very end, there is news that medvedev, the deputy head of the security council of the russian federation, visited china , he acted as a postman and brought all the money, some kind of note from putin, very briefly we will show medvedev and then your comment, we discussed the issues of interaction between the two right-wing parties between the communist party of china united russia discussed

the issues of bilateral interaction of our strategic partnership in china, including, of course, the industrial economy cooperation many others discussed international issues, we definitely include the conflict in ukraine, these negotiations were eight useful, notice how he says the conflict in ukraine, that is, we do not have a conflict, there is simply aggression and military aggression of the russian federation. do you think china will have enough strength and capabilities to stop putin already in the current situation in the development of this, as they say, they do not get what they want. secondary there or some other sanctions and definitely what they would like to keep from after

the ballistic summit the meeting with biden 's vinpinai i think that they want to keep more or less this balance with the americans and that is why they will not help russia as it wants russia is turning into a commodity addendum, it has actually always been like this in relation to the west. and now even more to china, china will buy more russian energy carriers, primarily oil and gas, there are more problems there because the chinese have 22 lg terminals and plus the power of tsimbir and by and large according to them, this well, except that free russian gas is needed, and on the other hand, the chinese do not need russia to lose speed in the war, because then the americans and europeans will focus on countering china as such. therefore, there will be no special changes to beijing's policy . thank you, mr. oleksandr thank you for participating in the program. this was oleksandr khara, a diplomat, an expert on foreign and security policy of the center for defense strategies, friends, we work live on
