look at the key link in this diplomacy, which is convinced to ensure ukraine's victory . is extremely important for ukraine, and this visit may affect its course volodymyr zelenskyi emphasized that it is precisely in cooperation with the force and together with partners that ukraine will be able to achieve victory dmytro onopchenko, a journalist, this is from washington, he is joining us, congratulations, can you hear us, i hear you well, i would like to join. yes, we are glad to see you next time on our air

. the question, what are the impressions? and what was left behind the scenes? yes, because in fact we saw a picture from one camera. i think that you had the opportunity to see and now tell us much more. well , you know, i even had the opportunity. to film a little, because this time, the white house administration allowed journalists to do this, well, it was such an incredible thing to bring mobile phones into the oval office , they were always taken away, well, now there was an opportunity to see and film everything with your own eyes. if we talk about what the audience did not see, then it really it was such a bigger, official, more protocol picture, i saw a very good attitude, very good relations between the bidens and zelensky, well, you know, there is such a word,

it already erases the chemistry between politicians when it arises, but here i think it is appropriate to say it there really was this chemistry and it was visible when , for example, during a conversation in the oval office in the part where we were present , volodymyr zelenskyi took out a medal that he wanted to give to a soldier in the donbass and said that he said "give it to president biden" and it was visible simply by his face, like him, and well , non-verbally, his posture, his body, like him, a little bit, the money changer poured out and said yes, yes , my son, we all know the story, because the war is a tragic story for biden, and it’s also personal, it also hurts, or, well, you all saw it when the press conference was held, how zelensky joked, how biden joked, that is, you know, by and large, it was visible and from the way they were held there, the part that we saw in the white house, it was clear that this was not a protocol meeting, that it was not a protocol conversation and that the conversation would be open that the conversation will be frank because there are certain personal relationships between the two presidents

here, if i may, i just want to say that at that moment volodymyr zelenskyi was meeting with nancy pilosi , the speaker of the lower house of the american congress well, in about an hour, a little less, we expect his speech in the congress, and it should also be quite powerful colleagues , so it happened. his attitude to the status of russia as an aggressor country. yes, not terrorists or sponsors of terrorism, namely an aggressor, and such a term is currently being worked out in washington, and if there is an agreement, it may be possible already this week. they will bring it to a vote. what do you know? and

you know what i hear. i just had a conversation with senator portun, and we talked about this in detail. he said that because the american administration, for certain reasons, and well, i will say it from myself, the honorable man, the reasons were also explained to me in the state department is not yet ready to address the issue of recognizing russia as a sponsor of terrorism, so they are looking for other options, one of the options is just what the wagners wanted, it is to declare a terrorist organization, and as sanatorium portman told me, it would be automatic it simply led to the fact that very serious sanctions would be introduced against them and, accordingly, against russia, that is, now they are looking for excitement, now they are looking for an option to go to the meeting, ukraine really has such an option, it can be called differently, but you know , how to call it in principle it does not depend on what will happen next, and each such definition will entail sanctions . i wanted to ask a question - help, it has already been solved behind the scenes. after all, a lot

depends on the speech of volodymyr zelensky , will he be able to influence it with his presence in my own words with my passion and this is true, you are absolutely right, that is, as far as i can hear now from unofficial cooler conversations, i always try not to bring them to the live air because everything can change, but well, it is a painful question , we can talk about it that in the senation, it seems that there was already an agreement in practice there were certain questions in the house of representatives and what i hear both in the white house and in congress that zelenskyi was present, his personal address to the congressmen. the fact that during the war the ukrainian president literally flew to washington to appeal to the congressmen, there are huge hopes that this is the truth, that this is, well, take some arguments from the skeptics, it will not give the opportunity to those who advocate what to

cut with the help of ukraine to do it so publicly after the ukrainian leader spoke in the congress and after will perceive and hear this speech of his, that is, you know, it is not only such a solemn step, it is not only something that recognizes the importance of ukraine, the importance of the ukrainian topic, but it is really an event that can move a lot of things. thank you very much, dmytro onopchenko, a journalist from we will return to washington, we will act on your inclusions because we are waiting for the president's speech in the congress . of the president of ukraine to the usa is a powerful message for all countries of the world, including for russia , the secretary of the parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence stated this on the telethon roman kostenko is if we talk about

russia in portions and parcels and such satellites and direct and which somewhere inside they support what the whole civilized world is watching, it supports ukraine and does not support you and they will help because i think that this is very important such a step was taken in the united states and i hope that president zelensky will bring as much as possible from there as much as can be found to bring petro oleschuk, a political scientist, joins us good evening, mr. peter, today is a very important night e for ukrainians, did you listen to the press conference of presidents joseph biden and volodymyr zelenskyi? what did you hear, which theses would be brought into focus, well, again, the key theses is that the presidents testified to a common understanding of the eventual end of the peace war. the

president of ukraine clearly emphasized that a- and his vision of peace is primarily a just peace, that is, the impossibility of any territorial concessions, the liberation of the entire ukrainian territory and the payment of compensation by the aggressor for the fact of the aggressor and the crimes he committed. well, in general bringing the aggressor to justice and president biden agreed and once again emphasized that he agrees with the ukrainian vision of peace. this is very important and it is very significant. a lot was said about arms and aid for ukraine. the president of ukraine emphasized that many sufficiently important topics in this direction were discussed not everything can be announced now, but once again they

came to some principled decisions and principled mutual understanding on many issues. well, this is once again a demonstration of the fact that the very fact of this visit is that the president for the first time after the beginning of the russian aggression, the president of ukraine went on a foreign visit to the united states himself. this is a demonstration of the special relations that have developed between ukraine and the united states of the high level of partnership that has developed. and of the trusting relations that have also developed between the presidents of ukraine and the united states. meeting and i think that we will observe the results of this meeting well, not only immediately and not only what, for example, we will discuss with you now, but probably not one month in in the future, the presidents at the joint press conference announced that certain things are currently being discussed, which

we cannot talk about at the moment, but we will see the results, or as you said, they also summarized this press conference, and we will observe the results in the process . but mr. petre, there is another important point here, it is obvious that the contacts between the president took place before and their adjustment . the invasion of the russian federation, why do you think that such and such a need is ripe, and we correctly understand that the united states proposed this visit, yes, that is, they invited. so we can conclude that it was they who had such a need to discuss something and have this meeting it is in

washington, in the white house, that the visit is carried out by the united states, which means that it could not be carried out without an invitation from the united states. leaders, it is clear and in principle. there is nothing surprising here, again, taking into account the level of relations that has developed at the moment between ukraine and the united states. well, it is also probably quite important to attract the personal presence of the president of ukraine , including to influence the congress for that all the necessary decisions for ukraine are voted on and adopted, i have no doubt in principle that they will be adopted, but if you can use the appropriate additional argument, then why not use it, that's why i

i think that it is on the one hand and specifically the holding of important negotiations at the level of the first persons, which are difficult to conduct without personal communication, personal presence, this is the first moment and the second moment - this is again the continuation of informational influence on the part of ukraine on the american political summer on american society with the aim of supporting of a consolidated position of support for ukraine, these months of the war very often echoed with conjecture. about when president biden visits ukraine, is it possible , why do you think it is they who invite of president zelensky, although it is more difficult to organize and biden is not coming here so that the president has time to convince congress. well, i don't

really think that it is more difficult in terms of security. i think that precisely from the side of the united states and the special services there are certain relevant reservations it could be that we don't know the whole kitchen, as they say, how it all happens, how it's all organized , because this issue is obviously quite difficult for the united states, the leaders of the united states went to ukraine, well, about exactly biden's visit. well, i think that there are many here who , in general, have a very strong influence on the likelihood of the adoption of the appropriate decision, at the same time, probably, some questions are not waiting until all these points are agreed upon, talking about this visit and waiting for the speech of president volodymyr zelenskyi before the congressmen. we remember the visit . elena zelenska to washington

, which also became historic because, first of all , the first lady did not often speak before congressmen, and the speech itself was historic . your expectations from the address to congressmen eh from the president of ukraine eh can we talk about the fact that we are expecting a historic address, a historic speech, i have no doubts that this will be a historic speech here, again, the question is in the very historical moment when it is being carried out and it is clear that this moment is truly a historical ball the speech will be historic. and as for the content, well, again, we will see what points the president of ukraine decides to emphasize, but i have no doubts that it will have a sufficiently serious impact on the american political discourse. well, in principle, all other addresses and speeches that

spoke during the last time, the president of ukraine has no doubt here, it’s just me, i remember how several international commentators in the american press admired volodymyr zelenskyi’s speeches, and many compared them with even the literary works of martin luther king, well , that is, many historical parallels tried to be drawn and in the review that i am now recalling , we came to the conclusion that volodymyr zelenskyi ’s style can be observed in his appeals and in his speeches. that it actually has an impact, the way he formulates his thoughts and how he calls for the support of ukraine, eh, then our partners, yes, and the world community as a whole, now, eh, it is obvious

that we expect something like that. yes, but the chairman, the purpose of this speech you think and you see , you really noted that many people in the world note the rather high level of the speeches of the ukrainian president, they note the influence that is exerted with the help of these speeches. in that as the president ukraine makes all of this, and the question is that these are speeches that are not simply made in order to, for example, be distinguished by some kind of performance, or to, for example, somehow record the fact of their presence, but for a specific purpose, these are very strongly motivated, seriously

motivated speeches, all of them are aimed at the realization of one the task of support in ukraine in the face of russian aggression, it is clear that our first issue now is support with weapons because we need to repel this aggression, economic support in order to ukraine was able to repulse this aggression, and this expediency and purposefulness is very seriously felt in all the speeches of the president of ukraine, and it is she who makes them so meaningful and strong in the context of influence , because everything is aimed at the realization of one specific goal, and not that the realization of this goal should be maximized concrete and as accessible as possible to the general public. this is what i think. there is the main content of the fact that the speeches of the president of ukraine are really so influential and so significant in the modern

world. well, after all, they are published in collections in in the form of books and published in many countries of the world, so you already know this, this is a certain historical phenomenon, a historical phenomenon that will also be studied in the future . volodymyr zelenskyi, we witnessed his meeting with joe biden, and also today volodymyr zelenskyi met with the speaker of the house of representatives, nancy pilosci, he is meeting right now, this is happening, we can see the pillars in the window, we are waiting for the president to address the congress at 2:30 p.m. he will address the republicans and democrats, the main goal is for them to agree to the 45 billion aid allocated to ukraine, petro oleschuk, a political scientist, was with

us. of the leaders of ukraine and the usa, a historical event about this, the head of the president's office, andriy yarmak, he, together with the minister of foreign affairs, dmytro kuleba, is part of the ukrainian delegation that came to the united states together with the president by volodymyr zelensky andriy yarmak is confident that only victory lies ahead, the visit of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky to the states is the main sensation of december, political scientist volodymyr fesenko believes that the coming months will be decisive in the war started by russia in ukraine, so bakhmutna and washington, which the president visited alternately, are such important symbolically two points on the geographical map , bakhmut and washington were united, this even

manifested itself, this is the transmission of these symbolic signs of war, this is what happened already in the white house, this it is not just symbolism, in fact, now and in baku and washington are deciding the future fate of the war in baku, it is being decided physically by military means by military means, and washington and washington are deciding the issues of resource support for ukraine, the coming months will be decisive, representatives of the ukrainian state are also talking about this, and they are telling washington, and that is why it is necessary agree agree on the tactics and strategy of our and military actions and political actions, the situation with energy supply in kyiv is still the most difficult in the country of the process the general director of the energy supply company serhiy kovalenko clearly says that there are no changes for the better yet , the main problem is not in generation in damaged networks, kovalenko explained that

the network cannot work when there are no 60% transformers, it is impossible to supply electricity to places where instead of equipment there is zero, but the situation will improve when the repair work is completed and when the scheme re-energization will work after a power outage , a total of 193 violations were found during inspections throughout ukraine , and now oblenergo must correct all shortcomings in the supply of light until december 31, prime minister denys myhal stated, he noted that there is an unevenness of electricity outages when some houses sit without light for 10 or more hours, while others, on the contrary, have light for 10 hours, but the distribution must be fair, noted shmyhal sered the leaders in the number of violations are dtek kyiv and regional power grids, as well as oblenergo volyn poltava ternopil and chernihiv the president's wife olena zelenska held online

meetings with the first ladies of various countries of the world zelenska and a participant of the event initiated at yusama summed up the results of 2022 and outlined plans for the next year. the wife of the president emphasized that during the summit it was possible to collect almost 6 and a half million dollars, which made it possible to purchase 84 ambulances for the needs of ukraine during an online meeting with the first lady discussed work plans for the 23rd year, in particular, olena zelenska proposed to integrate the activities of international organizations themselves, and on the contrary, the first lady noted that the russian attack on ukraine and the ukrainian resistance is changing the world and it is necessary to respond in time despite the constant shelling of the attack by the russians. people are preparing for christmas and the new year. in a photo from this city published by the polish photographer marik berezovsky in the comment section , an elderly man and woman are walking along a deserted street and are being driven to i am carrying a christmas tree, but

. waiting for this and the allocation of another aid package in ukraine for 45 billion dollars, we are talking about them, let's talk with ivan now ous expert on the international economy, he is with us live tonight, mr. ivan, good night, good night, ms. oli, mr. vadim, and to all our tv viewers. many people are awake today in anticipation of historical events of the patriots. we have already heard confirmation from both presidents about 45 billion if we say this is a colossal amount because in nine months of full-scale war the united states provided support for 21 billion e-e even a little more there 20 billion 200 million if i'm not mistaken a-a and that's more

more than twice as much, we can now predict the effect of such infusions into the ukrainian economy and into the defense sphere, of course, the first and foremost important signal that the united states of america sends to other countries that also support ukraine is that they really remain the leader a-a let's say this not only in terms of military aid a as for the economic part, i.e., the task so that not only ukraine wins on the battlefield, which we actually already do. the year will also be difficult because everyone understands that , unfortunately, the attacks that russia is carrying out this year on our energy facilities and industrial enterprises will not end and most likely will continue next year. therefore, the need to

restore the normal economy of ukraine was only greater and these funds to a large extent will contribute to the fact that ukraine does not fall out of the world economy, and thanks to the black sea grain initiative, we have returned to grain markets, which is a very important thing for us, and that there are no other problems in including in the lake district, and in other ways, this assistance is important if, as a result of the visit of president zelensky, the united states recognizes the russian federation as an aggressor country, that this will change economically in the cooperation between the states and russia, and in general, in which fields do they currently cooperate the most, and the problem is that this a new status, i.e. what was written by the hill and other american publications that

there is no such status in principle, i.e. they are now inventing a status that would emphasize their negative attitude towards russia, on the other hand, they do not declare russia in ukraine a sponsor of terrorism, they provide arguments that this is related to the black sea grain initiative, which i just mentioned with other questions, that is, so far we do not see the determination of the united states to take this step, and what is interesting is the european union, which at the beginning of the war was more cautious in relation to russia, they just now partially took this step when the european parliament recognized russia as a sponsor of tourism in ukraine, the only thing is that they made a recommendation to the european commission in order to develop this status in the system the eu will continue to move in the direction of recognizing russia as a sponsor of tourism. the united states of america, despite the fact that the statement that russia

will be recognized as a sponsor of terrorism at the very beginning, it is, let me remind you that even individual congressmen such as the game lens, they directly said that what prevents you from recognizing russia of ukraine as a sponsor of tourism, that is, mr. he appealed to mr. biden to mr. biden and you have bipartisan support on this issue, that is, do it, but we see that there is no such step, and here is this step that is being taken now about the fact that russia as a result as an aggressor - this is completely new, without having, let's say, a legal basis , the concept, nevertheless, most likely, the us congressmen will do something about it. and i understand that after the speech of president zelensky in front of the congress, this idea will be presented and we will understand what exactly it will contain in myself, oh well, we will and we will analyze it live this night, ivan, thank you
