[000:00:00;00] he only mentioned that at the end and he devoted only a few sentences to ukraine. so he introduced the ambassador of ukraine to the united states, but other than that he actually didn't say anything about the war and for me it was actually a bit of a surprise. i thought that after all he would devote more time to analyzing a- and the contribution of the united states to the fight against russian aggression, because it is absolutely obvious that the united states took the lead in forming a coalition of western countries to oppose russia , and probably did the most among all western countries states in order to support ukraine's military in the military sphere, but biden did not say anything about this in this speech except that he said that the coalition has been formed and that we have proven that putin will not be able to violate

international law. and it seems to me that the emphasis in the external political sphere of his he dedicated his speech to china and he mentioned several times about all the bells and whistles. and he emphasized that no world leader opposes china or opposes china the way he does, and it seems to me that this is once again a demonstration political calculation on his part. he believes that, first of all, for the majority of americans, it is china that is the challenge for america , the number one challenge for american national security, mr. serhii is one of the messages that president biden's administration tried to convey, this is a message of unity, a message of the unification of the two parties and this is such a leitmotif that the administration is trying to make the right one as its motive. during this term and ended, i singled out a quote from joe biden

in his address that we should see each other not by enemies, but primarily by americans, although during the speech we saw that there were disgruntled shouts, or even some of his opponents, such as marge and taylor green, called joe biden a liar, or were there any cheers from the audience, in your opinion, to what extent is this message of unity was biden able to convey and here are such disagreements, how significant are they, yes, between uh, if we are talking about republicans, then i take great care of the administration, perhaps on the democrats, now most of the presidents during the strange time are not there. and i think that for me personally, i was i'm impressed with how clearly biden contrasted the positions of the democrats on key issues, such as issues related to social assistance, reducing drug prices, raising taxes for billionaires and large corporations, and

combating climate change. with the restriction of access, for example, to automatic weapons , that is, many issues on which republicans and democracy do not agree. and instead of avoiding or somehow suppressing these issues , on the contrary, he clearly demonstrated that the democrats are not going to abandon their previous positions and that is why already in the second half of the speeches we heard actually unprecedented shouts from the hall where some republicans accused biden of telling lies and he was shouted down several times and his speech was stopped, so in fact this polarization was very palpable and we have seen it for the first time in a while years ago, behind him was actually a republican who now heads the house of representatives, and in most cases he did not stand up, that is

, the vice president of the united states stood up and applauded biden's speech, but demonstratively on the map, he did not stand up and did not demonstrate his agreement with joe biden. so, it seems to me that there were calls for unity, but they were isolated, and the key message, after all, was related to the fact that biden will defend the principles of the democratic party, mr. serhiu, you mentioned about ukraine and what we heard or did not hear from president biden, some observers believe that the fact that president biden promised that he will stand with ukraine as long as necessary is considered an important messenger, they believe that this actually demonstrates that the west is getting tired of ukraine, do you still think that biden missed the opportunity to clearly state his position and support for ukraine, or do you think that the attention to ukraine and, in general

, the attention in the congress to the support of ukraine will not weaken - this will not weaken us either we saw symbolic displays of solidarity with ukraine we saw rivers in many congressmen we saw even the former leader of the republican majority in the senate mich marcona wore a blue and yellow tie for me it was a big surprise to see him with such a tie, but he is a very influential republican , and this demonstrates in fact that republicans, as well as democrats, are united in supporting ukraine , and the vast majority of them, and it seems to me that partly and this limited time that the guy devoted to ukraine, he is connected with that that he is sure that this bipartisan support exists, that it is strong, that it is unlikely that any disintegration of this coalition can be expected, and that is why this issue is resolved for him. that is why he moves on to other

next issues, but on the other it seems to me that this is how he declared that he will stand with ukraine until the end . these statements were made before. this is not a new statement from the united states of america. that is, we have heard these promises many times before, but it is important that he confirmed it again publicly . perhaps he should have said more about ukraine and how it is possible to be more specific with examples, especially in matters of military aid and give examples of aid to ukraine and how it will continue in the future, he did not do this, and i think the word he he did not do this precisely because there is a certain division even in public opinion. and we saw in the last survey that a large part of republicans should limit support for ukraine or keep it at the level it is at, and about 25% of americans in general believe that america provides too much there is too much support in ukraine

. therefore, there is no position for americans in the american territory, and therefore it seems to me that biden's political calculation considers that this is a secondary issue for his pre-election prospects , and in fact, attention should be focused on that that will allow him to be successfully re-elected for a second term and, first of all, now to win in the possible primaries that will take place in the democratic party, and only one remark will be allowed to what you said about supporting ukraine, and we immediately had a reaction from the very wing of the republicans who speak against the continuation of such support , in particular, margery and taylor green, who also yelled at joe biden. we saw, if the audience remembers, did you see her in a white fur coat . she sat and shouted. so she wrote it after biden made his remarks. mar jury taylor green writes about ukraine that the bike does not like to protect the ukrainian border, but refuses to do anything to

stop the flight of a chinese spy ball over the american borders, that is , once again, she used this moment of mentioning ukraine to all- to let some of these spies in the direction of biden and ah criticize him for this. sergey, once again, thank you very much for the wish for your expertise for such a deep look and analysis of the messenger of the american president. thank you, despite late found time found an opportunity to join our broadcast , a reminder that this is political science from baylor university in texas and actually we talked about how president biden addressed the congress to the americans and actually to the ambassador of ukraine to the parcel of ukraine usha oksana markarova what he said specifically about ukraine we can listen to our speech

again right now our strength this is not only an example of our strength but the strength of our example we remember the world is watching i spoke from this hall a year ago only a few days after vladimir putin has unleashed his brutal attack on ukraine a deadly attack that evokes images of the death and destruction europe suffered during world war ii putin's invasion has become a test of the age a test of america a test of the world will we stand up for the most important principles will we stand up for sovereignty shall we defend the right of the people to live free from tyranny shall we defend the protection of democracy such protection is important to us because it preserves peace and

warns potential aggressors against threats to our security and prosperity in a year we will know the answer this is how we planned to stand up and this is what we did together we did what america always does best we are in the lead we united nato and built a global coalition we resist putin's aggression we stood with the ukrainian people tonight we are joined again by the ambassador of ukraine to the united states she personifies not only her nation but also the courage of her people ambassador here please stand up so that we all can you

to see him, we will be with you as long as it takes president joe biden to the ukrainian ambassador to the united states oksana markarova, if friends, did you pay attention to the necklace that she had, it is a rooster and from a wart, which actually became a symbol of ukrainian stability and indomitability, and actually that rooster which so that you remember the photo of the locker from the destroyed house, there was still this ceramic rooster on it, oksana markarova had it with her. pilossi, who was also invited to the president's address on the state of the state by friends, and if we are talking in general about the reaction of the ukrainian community to how president biden addressed how he drew attention to the support of the united states of ukraine, then i think that now it would be very nice to join our next guest on the air this is andrii dobryanskyi, he is the director of communications of the ukrainian congressional committee of america, andrii. thank you, by the way, for joining the broadcast. thank you

very much. and where did he say that he was a little disappointed that in reality it was not very president biden paid a lot of attention to ukraine in his speech. in your opinion, did president biden say enough about ukraine and did the important messages sound like hearing zelenskyi's speech forever? of the state invasion now last year how do we want to compare it was now after that when the president had his speech it uh had a very different effect when he talked about ukraine now now would i like to talk more yes but only three days ago, several billion dollars again about the statement of the president that

more aid will be given to ukraine , and now there is a lot of talk about the borders between america and ukraine. next, do i need speeches or do i need things? this year's slogan is that ukraine will win. last year, the mission that the activists were grateful for was only when they put on ukrainian ties for this or that speech, but this year we need more than a tie than speeches. we need certain things, i'm waiting until we hear president biden when he will give a speech in europe, how he plans to andrii, and for the second time in a row we see that the first lady invites the ukrainian ambassador to the united states, oksana markarova, to join the speech on the state of the country, and from our point of view

what does such a symbolic step indicate, it is very important, because it is what this anniversary of ours contains, and i know that our community in every state in america is planning various such events and will hear from e the ambassador one evening and the next evening. i can also ask any representatives of our councils that many governors, local mayors, local city councils, and state assemblies already have requests to have their speeches and resolutions regarding a full-scale invasion. they once waited for ukraine to be mentioned, this is an eternal process that we want to hear every day, and that first lady biden has invited to cooperate now with oksana markarova, this is just show others to the world how closely our two countries cooperate

andrii, you just said what actually happened earlier. if we look at the state of the state speech, we even expected to hear one word ukraine, and it was already a huge event for the ukrainian community. now we heard several very important words, in particular, that the united states will stand with ukraine as much as it will be necessary, but this seems to be not enough at this stage , and you say that i would like, in fact, not words are important, but actions are important, and what you expect this year from the united states, but it also seems important to me that several times literally, kevin mccarthy, the leader of the republicans in the house of representatives, together with the democrats, stood up and applauded the words of president biden and was 11 times just when ukraine was mentioned . also one of my thoughts when i heard about

the speech today where at some point president biden took the opportunity to poke a little bit at our republican friends and see how they reacted specifically so that the whole world i saw how kevin reacted because he could not have a word and only his face had to be whole . but at the moment when he mentioned ukraine, it was nothing controversial. but these are his words and i will show that all united we asked how the ball left, he is very supportive of everything, these are two party support for the senate, and we are also looking for the ukrainian compressed coconut in the house of representatives to gather

newly elected members this year. and so that they sat for the first time and everyone saw their two-way support ukraine exists in the house of representatives, this is also a very important project for glocal activists to appeal to the newly elected kompressmen to participate in the ukrainian competition and teach them. apparently, in that caucus, we are not we are talking thistle we ask that there is no island of words against one party or another, but to cooperate , because this is at a higher level than local politics here in america, mr. andrii, and you asked about this support, and here is our colleague maria olinovska, who monitors social networks and the reactions of legislators or expert commentators, suggests that nancy polozi , when he called the representatives of the house of representatives, a democrat wrote on twitter and noted

the comment and joe biden's remarks about ukraine . the commitment will be with ukraine for as long as it takes, this is a struggle for a-a, this is a struggle for the democracy of ukraine and also a struggle for democracy in the whole world , she writes a-a, you mentioned what are they suggesting now what now there is a response from the republicans, mr. andriy, thank you very much for joining the broadcast. now let's listen. what words do the republicans respond to president biden's speech that the usyk government does not care to lead, but to serve, and smereka is the coolest, the best country that knows the world

because we are not the freest country in the world, people who are strong and confident, i was recently diagnosed with cancer and it was very difficult for us, and especially for my children, but because it is thanks to the wonderful doctors here in the state arkadas and god's will, i no longer have this year, my first year, my mother was twenty, she was 20 years old, except that she was also cancer and she was diagnosed. thank you, she will never walk. and if she does walk, she will never walk . and the daughter, who said that i will never be, just took the oath as the governor of the cossacks, who now

turns to you only vera vera, the pusher pushes us forward, you and i are now on the hook in order to move forward boldly, i am the first to admit that the president biden and i have nothing in common. i'm for freedom, he's for the state border, i'm the youngest, i'm the governor, 80 years old, the president , he's the oldest in history, i'm the first woman who isn't, and he's the only man, who is the first man who will give his lebanese to the leftists, give the country to you, they are crushing you

high prices for gasoline, empty store shelves, and the fact that our children are taught to hate each other because of the race to which they belong or is he too weak who cannot resist this resistance to create there is a difference between americans are already between normal and uh, crazy , there is already a new time of the new generation of the leadership of the republican party.

the government, but the washington government is the biden government is simply crazy and the most secure borders in the country, a lot of free and research energy, and the armed forces and peace in the world have been rebuilt in the last two years, and the democrats have destroyed all this, and although they trillions of dollars were used and whole piles of debt to pay monet heart breaks when every child or hundreds of americans die from phenol uh that gets us through the southern border but

the biden administration refuses to stop the border and after the congressional party to thugs went without orders in order for our ordinary families to live in fear beyond our borders, issues in ukraine with a-a in going to other countries, all of all, all of this endangers president baidan and the largest a of of ours, he refers to our enemies the best . and this cannot be accepted. we must protect our people and our sky. he simply does not correspond to the position of the country's commander-in-chief. he simply does not fulfill his task. he has the most left-wing

attitude of any and our more americans want to buy their freedom by attacking the culture war in cars that we didn't start and that we never wanted to accept in which we didn't want to participate in. every day we must advise their flag and pray to their false god and they want take away in collusion with the big tech companies the most american thing we have is freedom of speech it's not normal it's crazy it's wrong we 'll do whatever it takes to make it right republicans believe in america strong american families strong communities where there are lots of jobs

where the salary is increasing. the freedom for which our veterans defended their steps is the real natural right of every man, woman and child . i was in charge of the presidential administration here, and not far down the road is my alma mater , and being a student there, i will never forget when the governor of kharkiv and the president in order for them to open the doors to the children's skin school and smoke them these children have now been removed, a monument was made in bronze and displayed

in our governor's house, for the time being, so that all children would have a post of education, so that they would achieve something in life, so that it was the right of every child and tomorrow i will open a new package dedicated to the world that will show er this one uh, the reform of the education system that we want to achieve, we are talking about real elections, so that teachers work better in schools in grades е, so that uh, from the lowest to the highest literacy, in our state, our republicans, uh, work to to help students

is not for us , we will do everything not to catch children who in bad schools cannot achieve anything in life for us. uh which er used in the effects of er economy on september 11 er from a generation that er has many er interesting ideas and many desires they and to rest what was before their er values ​​and what they want their ideas in in the future to reach we must do everything so that they communicate at this moment caught and lead america so that we are a-a hmm e country of brave and courageous people for these uh-uh two years

while i work in congress i went uh-uh to every uh- e on each of the - i can't forget e-e for 2018 in december was after which i will not forget, i wanted to be a family, but i was once, because the place where i was directed to go, i did not want to tell anyone where i was going, that the president would be somewhere in that country, even for a few hours we got on the plane the air force of the military air force is number one and we went to fly in the take-off cradles our phones were turned off and we were completely removed from the topic and about 12 hours after which when it was completely black at night we landed in the western

era and it was impossible to see any light there were no lanterns, but there was nothing for the festive season, and somewhere something was far away, somewhere very far from one lane, there was a canteen where the soldiers had gathered and they had gathered to celebrate christmas with their commanders. they had no idea that the president and the first lady had to uh land there and go into that room and when they went in it was something extraordinary and uh that scene that's that or the sounds that's something that i'll never forget uh i hope uh any woman to any man of any region
