of this stage of bilateral relations between ukraine and the united states and to strengthen ukraine's position on the battlefield, yes. look. well , you can treat president zelensky differently, you can love, you can dislike, you can criticize . but this is what is happening now. i like it very much, and i am happy about it. i see that president zelensky did not ask to come to the united states, but he received a fully articulated offer to come, an invitation to come. i understand that before this was invited, and president biden and his entourage conducted it. i wouldn’t say that this is a survey of public opinion, well, on the capital hill, but the information is yes, well , they made the situation look like this in general. and how will the visit of president zelenskyi be received? i understand that the majority of those

respondents are close to respectable they answered in agreement, they want to see our president in ukraine, in the united states of america, they want to hear him, and i understand that a personal meeting also depends on providing ukraine really cool big military -style buns from the christmas tree, that is, i understand that the lobbies of the military-industrial complex of the united states also want to see that person in person, not the one who was the model of the 19th year, who sat there with the presidents of that time, uh, something, we chatted for 15 minutes on general topics and everything, i want to see the person who personifies the opposition to the russian federation, which a year ago was afraid of. well, the united states and the whole of europe are katana, that's the second army of the world there. the triad, who can oppose it here too? for 10 months, a small country, well, without super-super aviation, without a super-super raft

, there is almost no raft, they are opposing the russian federation, they want to see and want to make a final impression for themselves about who they are helping. i understand that it will be like a springboard when they see the president's speech, they are ok, we are helping, let's once again sanction there, start the production of weapons, and so on. colleagues, and first of all, about a much larger amount of aid, somewhere around 44 and 9/10 billion dollars, actually, who understands now there is some uncertainty about this aid, because it is possible, by the way, trembists are in favor of having this aid there somewhat. it is either to reduce it or to withhold it and i think that president zelenskyi's speech in front of the two chambers of the congress was such a push that, due to the president's emotionality and, relatively

speaking, due to the understanding of the work done by ukraine on the battlefield, i think that it will really be a push so that 44 billion was approved for the next year, yes, really look at the same people. they are wavering. yes, there they are, neither here nor there. well, damn it, ukraine did not understand everything so clearly, but when they see it. well, really spice up the emotional speech of the president . he can do it well, let's say it so directly, he is a pro in this, he can do it and i am sure that they will really be able to take the position of ukraine and there will be no more doubts well, you can understand them a little, americans, listen 9,000 km from them, something is happening, someone went somewhere. there, the russian position, the ukrainian position, and eight years ago, there were bombardments, well, for them, it may not be very clear, but this will probably become such a decisive

moment when they understand everything so well, and therefore it is necessary to understand americans, why are they making humus by investing money in the production of weapons, that is, they want to understand to whom these weapons will go, will they really fall into cool hands? yes, they see intelligence reports, publications in the media, then you need to see the person's eyes and then it will be clear. you yourself know when one meeting tet yes, she can solve a lot of questions. well, you have solved many more than hundreds of conversations on the phone or even on skype . that is, it is really very, very important. well, you speak so optimistically, and immediately you have a question to ask, so we know about the transfer of patriots about the aid package there of 2 billion dollars there will be guided munitions there and art munitions for the usual systems and then the question arises that the ukrainian delegation is actually going to ask

the same age-old question about the transfer of atakams about possibly about planes and there maybe about heavy armored vehicles, can we say that right now it is successful in order to push forward the acquisition of weapons that we need most today, will zelenskyi's team in washington succeed in doing this work, i will not rush ahead yes, everything will definitely work out i know that they will try because it is really such a super opportune moment when, well, look, note that ukraine resisted for 10 months and did not fall, super ukraine returns the territory, that is, it is really a non-positional war. there not because of there but there because of there day two or three in a week and our help ukraine is standing ukraine is going to counteroffensive returns its cities and i understand that kherson was such a

stone then it was such a turning point city a place after which well then the americans are many leaders different countries have decided what to listen to and help . here is such a moment that it is necessary to influence this carriage . of the movie yes there kuy zheleznyy hodyat cash registers, that is, they will now beat this whole story, give it, give it, let me not say that they will immediately give us there, take you 100,500 of these really old abrams, or there is something else about atakamsy, maybe why note why look at the line of takams we have there is a minimum option of 80 km, we all want there 300,500. well, i don’t know about 500, it is hardly 350/50. and i think there is also an option of an intermediate 150 km, that is, 80,150. well

, this is really already twice as much as we have, and it will force the russians if we get it to pull back from the demarcation line from the front by 150 to 180 km. that is, for their logistics, it will be a complete break of the loaves . some things may be behind the scenes of the actual negotiations and not very pleasant for zelenskyi's team there, in particular , there is a humpback with corruption, there is the improvement of the legal system, the fight against oligarchs, there is arms control, which arise from time to time, but will these questions be there now go up to the meetings and the team of zelenskyi and the president of the usa and actually the presidents themselves, so look at the weapons, e.e., on the issues of arms control,

there are no complaints to ukraine, at least officially , even half-officially, they said something about the fact that we keep records document, well, these weapons are on paper, but these are the facts of the leakage of these weapons, the facts of their sale to third countries, or even criminal elements, there is nothing about it. yes, russia tried to disperse this whole story , they threw photos into the roof, you know mounted, which are sold by the nlodzhevilins there for $30,000. and the weapons are going to third countries as terrorists. no one bought it, that is, the americans said that we have no problem with control of the weapons, everything is under control, not a single himars has been lost, not a single piece of equipment has been sold or somewhere, it is not known where it is, everything is controlled by our government - it understands the problem with corruption, it is really so

painful for us. i understand that this is not a timely question. well, there is such a word as ex-denci-existential and a threat to ukraine. that is, it is a threat to the general existence of ukraine. now i don't think that the issue of corruption is at the top. i remember that after the victory, they will not ask a what did you do there during the war ? yes, they will pay attention to all the investigations of our investigative journalists, but i think not now. maybe there will be some remarks there, oleksandr volodymyrovych, you don't forget there, but let's come back later. thanks for yours factories, comments for inclusion, i will remind our viewers that the espresso channel or ivan stupak, a military expert, are on the air. these are the main military results of this rather tense day. we are waiting for the results of the talks between the presidents of the united states and

ukraine and the announcement of an increase in military aid to ukraine, and then more international and of economic news from my colleagues on the espresso channel. thank you to his guest. guests know that mr. kuzyk wrote so clearly and vividly about the situation under bakhmut, there are ongoing heavy battles and the situation at the front largely depends on now, since the visit of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, to the united states of america, ms. telegram channels, certain resources are already publishing information that ukraine will receive in e-e volumes. this is this, this is this military aid that is promised to be transferred to ukraine for more than a billion dollars. there is only one petriv complex. well, you know , they won't give much at once, but there is a lot of other things, i will wait for the official confirmation and

we will all wait for it and we will know what our partners from the united states of america will give us. i will remind you very briefly that today now there is a meeting of the presidents of the two states of the usa and ukraine. well, at 23:30, a joint press conference between joe biden and volodymyr zelenskyi is to be held in kyiv, and you can see and hear it live on the espresso tv channel. it is important. well, the speech of president volodymyr is to take place at night. zelenskyi in the senate but it will be around half past three, who is awake, you will also have the opportunity to see the task of president volodymyr zelenskyi today as much as possible to find support, finances, military aid and you know the main thing is to understand that you have to stand to the end and not look for a shaky peace that someone would really like to find, they also talk about what certain people can offer, certain circles of the president and zelensky, let's stop at something and here it is very important and now here it is worth just hold

hands for the president and for his team and for the entire ukrainian people so that we achieve what we want to achieve because actually everyone always wants to achieve their own and we do our own well, now for your attention an overview of events in the world briefly, let's look at the most important thing: in the usa , russia can be recognized as an aggressor country, the congress of the united states of america is actively working on this project together with the administration of joe biden. to call it a sponsor of terrorism, the text of the document is currently being negotiated, since there is no term "aggressor country" in ukraine in american law to restore peace, but it cannot be done in

violation of the norms of international law. such a statement was made by the ex-prime minister of italy, the odious silvio berlusconi. according to him, the current scenario of the development of the situation in ukraine greatly worries him because some parties too often express threats about the possible use of nuclear weapons at the same time, pan berlusconi also emphasized that he is personally preparing a plan for a peaceful settlement in ukraine, but this should be done without driving a wedge between european countries to settle the situation in ukraine what is needed are not ukrainian-russian negotiations, but direct negotiations between russia and the united states of america , prime minister of hungary viktor horban said this during a press conference in budapest, while emphasizing to the head of the horsky government that they could take place in budapest as well according to him, this is the agreement of the parties to sit down at such a joint table. in addition, viktor orban also said that he does not plan a visit to ukraine in 2023, clarifying that it is not part of

his program. dmitry medvedev came with a bow to xi jinping, the meeting of the deputy the head of the russian security council with the chinese leader took place today in beijing, according to the press service of medvedev himself. he brought a message to heaven for xi jinping, what exactly it is not yet known about, later the press service of dmitry medvedev reported that during his meeting with xi jinping, the main topic was deepening cooperation between russia, congratulations, we also touched on the situation in ukraine, however, what exactly was said about ukraine is still unknown. putin considers the ukrainian people to be brothers. such a hypocritical statement by the president the aggressor countries made today during a speech at the extended collegium of the ministry of murder in russia, according to putin, russia did not invade ukraine, the kremlin only tried to strengthen its own security and responded to threats from the west, at the same time, the kremlin master said that he was ready for negotiations, but added that he would sit down for the negotiating table will be able

only if they understand that the conversation will be constructive and meaningful, besides, the peace-loving putin announced that the russian armed forces will receive as much money as will be needed and soon they will also be given new sarmat and zircon missiles russia is white and fluffy, it is not she who started the war in ukraine and the west about it today at a meeting of colleagues and the ministry of murder of russia, its head sergei shoigu said during the conference , the head of russian thug killers said that the cause of the war was the coup d'état in ukraine in 2014 paid for by western countries, that it was emphasized that after that , anti-russian forces came to power in kyiv, which divided our brotherly nations. ukrainians are solely to blame for the murder of the head of the russian mine. starting tomorrow, holders of russian passports that were issued in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine, as well as in abkhazia and south ossetia, will not be able

to enter the member states of the european union . at the council of the european union, but it will officially come into effect only tomorrow, owners of red pieces of paper with a double-headed eagle issued on the territory of the temporarily occupied donetsk, luhansk , kherson, and zaporizhzhia regions are not will be able to cross the border of the european union or get a schengen visa, let's listen to people who suffer from rheumatism. it's arthritic , it's impossible to get used to it, it doesn't allow you to move . i tried everything. and at the pharmacy, i bought a yellow dolgit cream, and even for my pain in rheumatism, it relieves pain, reduces swelling and improves joint mobility. for pain in the joints and back alcohol music education free people have a

choice choose what you want on megogo good evening we from ukraine are returning to the conversation here you saw in the review the most important events that happened outside of ukraine and events that currently, the visit of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, to the united states of america, in particular to the city of washington, where he is meeting with the president of sharjah with a football team, and he will have the opportunity to speak to the members of the senate in front of the american lawmakers the united states of america will provide ukraine with military aid. before i tell you about it , i will announce our

guest right away. picture i want to say that the conversation with the press or the approach to the press of the presidents of the two states of the united states and ukraine is planned for 23:30 kyiv time, that is 16:30 washington time, and you will have the opportunity to see and hear live the news of the tv channel with the press and this press conference this will be a translation, so you will understand everything. who there does not know english very well or does not know it and in general, it is not a problem we will give you the opportunity to understand everything because it is important now regarding the aid, the aid is not small it is one billion 850 million dollars what will they give us most importantly with all that was announced here is that the air defense and anti-missile defense complex will be handed over to ukraine within the limit of one billion allocated by the us president, let's talk about it later, and now i am attaching volodymyr yerchenko, diplomat , permanent representative of ukraine to the united nations in 15 -19 years old, volodymyr

i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear good evening i congratulate you unexpectedly for most ukrainians , president zelensky has gone to the united states of america, i uh, there are many nuances of the topics which can be discussed, but i would like you to say in general about the importance of this visit and these are the words that biden voiced that we have a lot to talk about because the war is entering a new phase, explain them not in diplomatic terms, but in a language that is understandable for people, please. i think that no one needs to be convinced of what is important for this visit, this is self-evident, well, now we can see it all over the world in all the world 's mass media, and it has its own explanation, because really in this world they understand that this on the russian proka ukraine is entering such a very decisive period when such strategic decisions have to be made, i.e. you ca

n't wait any longer, notaries can't think for a long time . personally, this visit should have the following three uh main or main consequences of the first one - it is an opportunity to discuss in a one-on-one format or in a narrow format those issues that you would never discuss even well, in the closed telephone conversation itself, it is personal contact is to look into each other's eyes and this is important, this is the first time during the war, in general, this is the first foreign visit of president zelenskyi during the war, and everything gives even more importance to this visit, that is, the first result - this should be a decision of the american administration on a strategic

synopsis, that is, what to do next, and from this , for me, the second conclusion also follows - well, the second result is an increase , a sharp increase in the supply of weapons. packages and this all echoes with the well- known article of general zuluzhny about what he needs in order to er well, so to speak, to finally change the course of this er war because er everyone understands i hope that in the west this also everyone already understands and the american administration should understand that we cannot give russia time to advance to prepare for a new invasion, whether it is kyiv or the north of ukraine or some other areas. we

do not have the right to do this in order to prevent this we need weapons the third result that this visit should achieve. i think it will take place during zelensky's presidential speech in congress in front of the houses of american legislators in order to, so to speak, cement the bipartisan support here, and which exists today, we know that from january 1, the composition the congress will not change radically, but it will change and there will still be a majority of republicans in the congress, this does not mean that we indicate support, but it may mean certain tactical changes in approaches, and god forbid that this would lead to a decrease in the flow of aid that is provided to ukraine today, well, actually speaking, if we talk more specifically, it is about the fact that by the end of this week, this composition of the congress has to approve

what we call the state budget in the united states. we hear that some public figures are allegedly advocating for a reduction in this package in this budget, someone over my ukraine is talking about it, it’s not about that , it’s about the fact that they just want to change some items of expenses and maybe something to take let's say so from the ukrainian package and pass it on to increase the internal security of the world of health care, that is, they are not against helping ukraine, they just have some other priorities. therefore, this speech of our president in the congress should convince those who may doubt that that they should bend this budget and then ukraine will have a guaranteed amount of aid at least for the next financial year, i will ask about something else, it is clear that certain information can only be transmitted by word of mouth, as they say

eye to eye without any extra ears and obviously it is precisely for this information for this conversation that the president mainly went there uh well and obviously probably also to convince those who doubt the pants of the congress that it is worth helping ukraine but there is another question uh united states everything after all, they are more inclined to call russia an aggressor country, but not to call the country of russia, ukraine, a sponsor of terrorism, these are completely different things, not one and the same thing, and they say that supposedly, well, at least respected experts wrote about it that allegedly the president zelenskyi will be convinced that the recognition of russia as an aggressor country is normal, this is enough, but for now there is no need, because it will impose certain restrictions on trade relations and on other things that, obviously, certain circles in the states do not want to limit, there is a rational grain here please, you know how it seems to me here, we are mixing different concepts a little bit, well, first of all,

american legislation does not have a legal interpretation of what an aggressor country is, and that is why it is not so easy to approve this law, but this is being done in this congress, there is an active day, er, this work is being carried out. i am sure that if this law is approved, and it remains to be seen what is better for us, because er, you know, the aggressor or the society, you can argue for a long time who is worse, but if the status of the country sponsor of terrorism really imposes certain and even not certain very serious restrictions on us policy, not only in relation to individuals. i think that the problem is not in this, but in secondary sanctions, that is, for example, in the event that russia recognizes ukraine as a sponsor of terrorism , the american administration automatically has should impose sanctions, yes, so-called secondary sanctions, on all those countries that, according to their information, and this information is known in

principle to everyone, they continue to have economic affairs with the russian federation, and it is no secret that china is among these countries and india and these two countries have an insane volume of er foreign decent trade with the united states. that is er, it puts the us trade relations with these two states and possibly with many others at a huge risk. so this does not apply ukraine, but this concerns the national interests of the united states, but as for the status of the aggressor, here i think there will be no such restrictions on the americans and they will have much more free hands in order to really hit russia. well, there are a number of other questions, i have already said repeatedly that the americans have their own bloodless agenda with russia so that it does not happen in the

world, and they do not want to sell this in this dialogue, primarily it concerns the problems of nuclear disarmament, or in general, i think so today, this question is like as hot as ever yes that i still remain an optimist and it seems to me that in the case of financing the term aggressor, we will not benefit from this if, and maybe even vice versa. so let's wait. let's give a little time to the american legislators. the next question of the end well, it will probably be the last one judging by the time, but it is important, it will not relate to zelenskyi's visit to the states, it will relate to the prospects of russia in the soviet union, i will only say that i do not see a photo of president zelenskyi arrived in washington on the plane on which united is written becomes famerica, i don't know if this is the first plane, it will be so white and blue, on which the president also flew from the states well, in any case, it is

also obvious, there is a certain kind of trust. reasons, here is my plane there, i can see various systems from above there, well, that is, it is not, and this is also a sign of respect and support, and the fact that they really wanted to see him in washington, it is obvious. ukraine has started certain er procedural steps with the intention of depriving russia of membership in the security council of the united nations in the future, and here it is necessary to perhaps explain a little more to our viewers why russia should not be in the security council in principle as it is in principle the russian federation got into, and what are the mechanisms to ensure that they are removed from there in accordance with the law without any violations, please, just remove it, well, on this topic, i can talk for a very long time, and i am with you, but i will explain it briefly, well, first of all, it is very good that that the minister got involved in this matter

because for more than six months, a diabolical organization of public haps, which was created in ukraine, has been actively engaged in this, eh, well, it is clear that ukrainian diplomacy has also taken certain steps, eh, it is about excluding all the un yes, there are three options. is it to expel her for violation of the statute of tone for aggression against ukraine? it is difficult because this is a political decision and it is a precedent. for this, it is necessary to gather administrative votes in the un criminal assembly and then to have it approved. the un security council and, of course, there is russia itself, it will twist and block everything. the second way is to exclude russia from the other, to question its membership as a successor of the former soviet union, which was done illegally by the un super institute in december 1991, and this can be legally proven it may take a little more time than the first option, but it seems more realistic to me, and the third

option is probably the fastest . you can find reasons for this and the first and second options and many other things, even you know well, someone may laugh at this. but in the statute of the month there is a whole list of what a state is, and among them are state borders. that is, it is an entity that has stable state borders, because in the question for me is that russia after the annexation of crimea, the so-called annexation, and after the annexation of four more regions of ukraine, is it the same state that was there before or is it some other one? it sounds really a little wild for us, but on this basis it is possible procedurally, this issue should also be raised. so, i think that one of these options is possible, some combination of all three will work, and

ukrainian diplomacy is currently actively working on this
