[000:00:00;00] 300 km and not only 100. well, 150 or 1. glass b is such a difficult abbreviation , that is, you have to look at the cheat sheet to pronounce the new one. it will be good for us to know five of these rockets, but let's believe that . remember that half a year even because he not to mention the rabbits, well, they even sold some guns. we didn’t even dream, we were glad that people lived, and then already her guns and fat and the patriots they said about, too , he never delivered to us heavy tanks and bradleys and, most of all, there will be long-range planes rockets well, unfortunately, for some reason this happens to ours allies and partners need it for a certain time, although we do not have it by and large, but simply before our eyes , the rearming of the ukrainian army according to

nato standards is taking place , that is, in fact, the equipment is currently being used. the world and this is also good, but now there is information that the head of the office of the president of ukraine andriy yarmak and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny had a telephone conversation with the adviser to the president of the united states of america on matters of national security, jake sullivan and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff committee, marko milli, and they talked about the situation in the southern and eastern directions in ukraine, it must be said that valeriy zaluzhny met with mark milli just a few weeks ago on the territory of poland, they also discussed i think that, in principle , the americans share the information they have on the situation with the russians and their capabilities, and it is obvious that the united states of america will be fully

to support and accompany those offensive actions , including those that will be carried out by the armed forces of ukraine , they have all the capabilities for this. well, major, i understand that the armed forces of ukraine still have to rely on themselves and their capabilities, including in the current situation in ukraine , the highest military position in the armed forces of the united states of america has been held many times. well, many analysts and experts say that these meetings . they understand that we use american data developed by british intelligence well, actually, of course they, that is, they understand very well, no worse than us, the situation that is happening on the field, love directly in the war .

all the offensive actions that we are planning or any other action are related to our er armed forces we are with them we are discussing with them we can even agree on this because we are dependent on that amount of weapons well in what sense are we dependent or we count on, for example, this amount of weapons. well, there are tanks, for example. we don't count. we count on this option . let's do it like this. we don't count. i'm not saying that the lazy person is worse at understanding these people, but they can advise something, taking into account the technology that they are trying to provide us with. and they have already asked us several times to start... so far the mood is because we are expecting an offensive from the russian federation, they are now trying to help us get this offensive and are asking us even if we are ready , you understand, they are asking us to know, asking us not

to rush this offensive, they do not want to give us more armed forces so that we can to save a greater number of lives and for this offensive to be more decisive , more powerful, and more effective, so it seems to me that for us, cooperation between well, then, you know , there is a little bit of a dash in the transmission. well, if we cooperate with the nato leadership with weapons nato well, i also don't want to make a joke there, why aren't we in nato? well, it seems that de facto we are already in nato . all that remains is to arrange it where it is. we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as in our social networks on the youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are currently watching us live on youtube and facebook, please like

this video and subscribe to our page at youtube and on facebook well, on youtube you can join the cohort of sponsors of the espresso tv channel directly under this video, you can find a description of the instructions on how to do it there , that's enough. we will simply be grateful for any help to our youtube channel. well, of course, read our news on the espresso tv website, we work for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and there is quite a lot of information there, both about the news of the world and about the news of ukraine . well, we are moving on. and our next guest is oleksandr khara diplomat expert with of foreign and security policy of the center for defense strategies mr. oleksandr good day good health to you thank you for joining our broadcast good day mr. serhiy, it's nice to see you too , let's start with information about a possible meeting

between biden and zelenskyi with a bagpipe a few days ago in the polish press with there was information that biding will visit poland and he will have a joint meeting with zelenskyi and duda . zelenskyi will discuss plans for holding an international conference in support of duda's ukraine. while on an official visit to latvia yesterday, he confirmed that joe biden will visit poland in february, he will also emphasize that poland will continue to support ukraine. ukraine, but we also take care of the security of poland, at the moment we have about 50 f16 fighters. in the polish military, we are here ready to talk with our allies on the topic of supporting ukraine, but i say once again, we help ukraine, but we also

we take care of the security of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth as part of nato. the most important thing is that we must remember that deterrence works when you are able to defend yourself, when we have a high military potential here, mr. oleksandr. obviously, we can add that the security of poland cannot, cannot, without the security of poland, be without the security of ukraine. a short remark to the said president of poland during the last few days , that is, the topic of how biden commented on the possibility of ukraine receiving an f-16, the journalist came up and asked when he was moving there and was returning from a trip and asked him whether will ukraine receive fighter jets in 16, he said very briefly no, and some conclusions have already been drawn from this that the united states of america is not ready to provide f16 fighter jets, although literally a week ago, jabeiden announced the transfer of the 31st abrams tank to ukraine, which should not

arrive at the end of 23 or at the beginning on the 24th, how would you characterize what is happening between the united states of america and ukraine, starting with zelenskyi's visit and quite successful visit to washington at the end of december, well, first of all, i want to remember an american proverb, this neva is not yours, that is, never say never, and at one time , they did not give us javelins, then stingirs, then howitzers . may god bless you. the president of the united states that he does not plan to give us f16 does not mean that we did not receive them after some time moreover , literally 1.5 weeks ago in the western press there was information that the national security council of the united states is going to comprehensively study this questions and

then communicate with their european counterparts allies and actually what the president of poland said here should also be divided into two things, first of all definitely and clearly that he is responsible for the poles and the safety of the poles first of all but i think that there is also a second point he looked at how productive the discussion was about tanks the last one, and when the patience of the americans also ran out and they gave us these abrams. it is very good that they gave us this abrams, but we do not need them as much and certainly not in the same quantity as the actual german tanks that third countries can provide us, and i think what is the style in which the polish president commented, the master means that they will discuss it within the actual allies of the panat and, above all, definitely. this will be the main role of the united states , taking into account the fact that in 16, after all, they are produced from the united states. and only they can give

permission to third countries for supply well, and certain guarantees that these will be replaced , it is absolutely possible to say that our relations with the united states are at an unprecedented level, this is a real strategic partnership, in the near future we will receive well, the aid package, and actually you and the previous expert talked about these small bombs that we need , unfortunately, they only have a radius of 150 km, and they will definitely give us additional opportunities, first of all, throughout the territory of eastern ukraine but unfortunately not so deep in let's say this on the territory of crimea. but in any case, this is another step that shows that there is an evolution of thinking, a reassessment of these so-called red lines, which were actually drawn in the heads of primarily

americans by europeans and every time they they will cross these red lines. they see that russia is not capable of doing anything in response, that is, only the semenians and the nightingales are there. hmm, but in reality, we know that russia cannot do anything . that is exactly why it seems to me that such a meeting can take place in poland. there will be several interesting meetings. well, it is uninvited that there is a ukraine eu summit. and the japanese have an idea to hold a group of seven meetings with well, the truth is , it will be online and with the involvement of ukraine, but it is also important. let's say it is such an important event. the eve of the anniversary of the large-scale author of the book and it seems to me that these signals sent by our partners , unfortunately, they are not allies yet, because this is a formal, formal sign of some kind of agreement about the security of ukraine, but all these signals that you do not

show that they believe in victory of ukraine, and that is why they are helping us and increasing the help, they are in a bit of a hurry because they understand that a large number of tanks were announced at the time and, unfortunately, a certain amount that we would need to have already, well, in the near future, the europeans can give us to give only there at the end of spring and actually this can cause certain actions of russia tried to er let's say so attack us tried to advance into the kind of our territory until we got all this er iron fist and we won't be able to actually more effectively with less losses for our of the defense forces to liberate ukrainian territory, that is why the political signals are positive , and the signals in the form of weapons that were provided to us before rammstein and after rammstein are positive, very interesting , an interesting visit was made by our minister of defense, where

he agreed in paris on, let's say so receiving two radar stations that will strengthen our anti-aircraft capabilities and that this is definitely not the last thing that they give us, let's say yes to what - i agree with our western partners, so in general it is positive , definitely that i would like more, i would like this help and these red lines, they were submitted earlier than actually we will say yes here so that they would give us the opportunity to free our territories as soon as possible, that is, it is a question of time, a question of resources, and most importantly, a question of the life of the ukrainian soldiers of this another event took place during the week: the premiere of the film putin against the west, which was filmed by the bbc, and boris johnson's revelations about the former prime minister of great britain, who said that on the eve of the great russian invasion of

ukraine, putin told him that he did not want to you will hurt boris, but just one gunpowder or one minute of rocket flight can, in principle, solve this issue, in the same film there is also the testimony of the minister of defense of great britain, ben wallace, who spoke about the fact that the russians, led by sergei shoigu was taken by his escorts there and convinced that they would not attack ukraine and it was literally 13 days, well, two weeks before the big invasion on february 11, obenvoli flew to moscow and said that his eyes were the revelations that we heard and which were located all over the world, they give the entire western world a complete idea of ​​who putin is, or who still has the illusion that well, maybe there is something there, boresh johnson did not hear and uh, putin just cares about the interests

of his state no more well, i i don't think so boris johnson did not notice something, er, of course he is a smart person. i think that er , there were various hints in a different form, and we clearly understand that russia, being a militarily weak state, has always relied on nuclear weapons, and, in fact, always. i have meaning in modern history, first of all, after the nato campaign against yugoslavia, and then well, if we say so a little to the side, we go aside. putin was the secretary of the national security council of the russian federation, and then they realized that they could be next and started actually to prepare in order to deter the west, although we know that the establishment had absolutely no goals to capture russia or fight with it, so putin began to dismantle those , shall we say, principles on which nuclear deterrence and the nuclear strategy

of the soviet union were based - the times of the russian federation and we reached the point that these cartoons with strikes on florida and these analog netov rockets and constant rhetoric, but it stopped literally maybe a month ago , or rather, it died down, because it is certain that it will to gain momentum again after a certain time because this is the only real weapon that putin has and we see that unfortunately it works for certain politicians in europe, primarily germany, but also if you listen to what donald trump said recently and all his mosquitoes i am in the form of the same claraxan and other people who constantly say on the air that we do not want the third world war and therefore we should stop helping ukraine and sit down at the negotiating table, but conditionally that this is such

a trick, let's say, to actually leave ukraine at will with such a monster but the most important thing is that this is the same thing and if you cannot achieve your goals peacefully, i.e. through diplomacy or at the angle of e, then of course you have the armed forces, but he was also unable to achieve anything with the armed forces and actually he only has the west scare nuclear weapons, which means politicians and journalists are not very educated in the west . they take it at face value, they don’t understand that it doesn’t happen so that they gave us some capabilities. a button and it will launch a dozen strategic ballistic missiles on the territory of the united states, it definitely does not happen like that, people who have studied the theory of international relations, and those who have studied strategy, they understand that there are certain steps of escalation

. i didn't like something for this red button ago. it's very good that mr. johnson told him about it. by the way, a very good visit. i would say the labytskyi pro-ukrainian visit . timoshington is happening. trumpists but it seems to me that normal conservatives and normal republicans have understood what he is talking about and who are the provigils in these squabbles. world leaders of the free world and they have such an understanding, unfortunately, there is no such understanding of the ukrainians who are developing the other day, the chancellor of germany was in his latin american tournament talking to the president of brazil, he heard this crazy set of clumsy propagandists and that's not all

it is so clear that in fact the west and ukraine provoked the russian federation there. well, once again, let's give in to some conventions in the negotiations, that is, in the world. unfortunately , where are there other countries that look at this conflict through the eyes of the kremlin, and this not because they are paid money, but rather because we use very often the phrase of volodymyr lash lenin about useful idiots that they are just their tsits - let's say that their vision coincides with the kremlin's, they don't promote it for free tomorrow, oleksandr, it will happen another important one is the annual ukraine eu summit and for the first time our state will act as a candidate for joining the european union, today the leaders of the european union are already coming to the ukrainian capital to talk about the expectations and possible results of this summit , let's see in our story the action in the east and south in kyiv after all, they will hold

the 24th ukraine eu summit , the european commissioners can take part in it, that is, the ministers of the main executive body of the european union, based on the results, plan to sign a final document in which they can give a certain impetus for ukraine's further movement towards accession, we expect news for ukraine, we expect decisions from our partners in the european union, which will correspond to the achieved level of cooperation between our institutions and the eu and our progress, which is evident even in spite of the full-scale war on reforming the state . the main topic of the summit is the government presenting the results of the implementation of seven recommendations of the european commission in the field of rule of law, fight against corruption , independence of the media, etc., the ukrainian authorities seek to form a road map regarding

the european integration path, in particular, the beginning the next stage of negotiations on membership, despite the war, ukraine continues to move towards the eu you have demonstrated very good progress in implementing the recommendations of the european commission during the summit there will be an opportunity to analyze this progress and also to discuss what can still be done in the near future ukraine has made an active push in the movement towards membership for you as a candidate state, it is necessary not only to adopt the relevant eu legislation, but also to implement it. on the agenda , there will be certain integrations of the economy to europro is important for ukraine to provide long-term access of goods to the eu markets without quotas and mfa joining the single payment area and the european roaming space, among the political topics will be new sanctions against russia, the security situation of the peace formula, holding the russian federation accountable and post-war reconstruction , while doing homework to gain full membership in the eu in ukraine there is still

a lot of no exclusive alternative somehow other path to membership in the european union compared to that there is no homework performed by other countries, and that it will not fall on us, but simply taking into account the circumstances in which ukraine is today, already this year, the ukrainian authorities expect to start negotiations on accession, which contain 35 chapters on reforms in various spheres of social life, from energy to science it will probably happen no earlier than october after the official assessment of the european commission on the implementation of the recommendations , a realistic assessment of the acquisition of full membership by the end of the current decade valery pashko andriy verstyuk tv channel espresso, our journalist says that the probable acquisition of membership of ukraine in the european union can be by the end of the decade. is oleksandr

an optimist or a pessimist ? er, when we win victory over our enemy, of course, without this , there is some question of ukraine joining the eu , they are simply not realistic. another question is that now this war has definitely lined up europeans, and it seems to me especially germans who actually dragged our wild neighbors to europe and increased their influence there, and now they feel this guilt , they will most likely try to atone for this, so it means that we are accelerated to integrate, yes, but this does not mean that they will turn a blind eye to some

shortcomings or any problems or what we have to do will be, well, let's just say that they will act like a fool, that is, i think that this will just be a priority, they will help in a friendly way . well, i am already talking about financial and other support. this year, god willing, it will be mainly victories of ukraine, but also destructive actions on the head actually on the russian territories . well then, of course, what can be said about the fact that it will be more than 10 years, and i hope that such a scenario will also be at least definitely for me more important is the country's entry into nato, because without security there cannot be other such things and integration into the eu and in the normal life of the reconstruction of our economy . on the eve of the ukraine-european union

, a series of events took place in ukraine, searches detention, dismissal, corruptors, bribe-takers, well, that is, very, very much so in a tense situation. and i would say expertly, the ukrainian authorities tried to pass the final assessment on the eve of the meeting in the format of ukraine, the european union, among the requirements of the european union for candidates for eu membership, including overcoming corruption or the creation of fuses, because what we are seeing now is, in principle, a struggle with the consequences, but not a struggle with the fundamental things that affect the level of corruption and bribery in ukraine. quickly, ukraine can overcome this path because we know that the current president zelenskyy came to power with the promise to overcome corruption and imprison everyone in the spring of 2019 , but this did not happen four fourth spring or fifth there fourth and it is not clear when

all this will happen well, you know, i think that both the next and the next president of ukraine will be criticized for the lack of measures to fight corruption , of course. something different literally last week i was very good so well, such an event is the rit-college 2:0 where mostly journalists gathered, but there were also representatives of civil society and i really liked how mr. nicolo flore told his hesitation whether to publicize the corruption scandal e-e pov connected with the ministry of defense and actually, as a patriot, he understood that this could affect first of all. it was the eve of rammstein and he knew that it was necessary. if something should be made public, then later and before the first of february

, since on february 1, the money would already be available spent and he made absolutely i think it was the right decision and not to the detriment of the national strategic interests of ukraine, but on the other hand, his main motivation was that this money that could potentially be stolen, i will not assert that this is how it is but they could go to the one that kills the enemies and protects our soldiers, and i think this is the most important thing, in fact, because any government tries to somehow hide something, well, not even i in the sense that there is something to do with corruption, but not to allow society in there in some cases, and of course only society can demand that certain changes take place. and it is very good that even during the war, journalists and civil

society . it turned out for ukraine because the western partners looked at what you see, we insisted and helped create anti-corruption institutions. and they work like that, and civil society was a reaction. and so we can be critical before what happened this week regarding these searches of other things, let's see if any charges will be brought , and most importantly, if the facts have been collected, if they will be convincing. oleksandr khara was a diplomat, an expert on foreign and security policy of the center for defense strategies. it was a verdict program , conducted by serhiy rudenko. i am in communion with you until
