in the indo-pacific region and also coordinated efforts to counter the challenges that china continues to throw at the rules-based international order end of the quote the defeat of ukraine cost the americans more than the us now spends on aid to our country about this extra to the coordinator of the council of national security for strategic communications john kirby added the united states will always support countries that fight for their independence further quote this is a war for independence for laws the right to exist as a country if any nation on the planet understands the essence of this it is the united states of america because we had to fight for their independence at least twice to those who might think that the war in ukraine is so far away that it does not affect them

. on the economic effect of russia's actions not caused by the war, the food insecurity of the global rooster and middle-income countries, food shortages and energy insecurity, john kirby, coordinator of the national security council for strategic communications of the united states, dmitry abramson, a blogger and political observer from the united states of america, contact us directly night in ukraine is obvious to you good day good evening it's mine good night to you i saw news about uh alarm air i hope everything will work out and of course we are worried here for you. thank you for your sympathy and support. yes, it is valuable, but let's talk about the meeting with which we started , i

mean the conversation. russian separately, in addition to the threat of russian to the fore, china comes up more and more often in such conversations . can this already be considered a trend? well, actually , how will it go further with this, and you know that the analysis of our investigations has been conducted and it says that china is china. we think that china is long-term. this is a more dangerous opponent for us than russia, so china often has a complicated relationship with them, because we cooperate in some issues, this is our trade . on the other hand, in the geopolitical sense of the security issue, china probably represents a greater threat to us than russia, so the problem with russia right now is the problem with the war, which needs to be solved

in the long term, and unfortunately it is more china. information began to appear among us that china thinks they have not started supplying weapons to russia and our leaders are asking to prevent it , including talking about it publicly and making it public made it public that china is trying to stop it well, they will probably threaten with some consequences unfortunately, if china starts supplying weapons to russia, this war will drag on because putin will appear. one more opportunity . they will prolong this war. will the supply of weapons be updated at the same time, including the united states of america, because obviously the war will reach a new level and china will become stronger as a result of this war , which is what the states are so afraid of to give putin some kind of image, even symbolically to win a victory in this war , that is, it is necessary to achieve a complete defeat, because

china is watching very carefully what is happening, and they are watching understandingly, first of all, in the context of taiwan, but not only and if in some way we do not demonstrate the unity and full support of ukraine in the war against russia, then china will learn the relevant lessons in relation to taiwan, and therefore it is very important , even from this point of view, the war of ukraine with russia is also important for taiwaniya and for what china may try to do in the future taiwan and not only who else but china is asking to increase the sphere of its influence a-a including in asia of course in africa a-a m-m well b c point of view военных духовый вопрос конечно, first of all, it stands around taiwan and but they ask, the sphere of influence has increased and this is how

the geopolitical war is going , which well, it may end in some version of the cold war with china, to a greater extent, because russia, uh, does not represent an economic threat to us . he called it a gas station with nuclear weapons, and yes, it is a threat to them because they have a nuclear family , there were no nuclear weapons . represent such an immediate threat but this is more of a mafia state with which it is necessary to somehow limit it, hold it as if by barbed wire, and china is still an economic power, and this is exactly how the geopolitical economic struggle for different markets around the world is going for the first influence and for the allies well, that's how about africa, perhaps it would be one of the examples, china is trying to er and capture the middle east if it is on the uvazel where it is trying to increase its influence in the sphere of its

er it is really about competition, but on the other hand, and you said it yourself, the chinese are also a trading partner. and the question is whether this will become a deterrent factor in the event of possible escalations. which now we see to some extent the issue of trade between your country and china well, this is a problem because when america and western countries decided that they need to trade with china , let them into the world trade organization and the plan was that if china starts trading with us and sees how good it is to live in a cabriolet regime, then dima, as if they have freedoms, too , some democratic values ​​will come to them in this way, too. but it was a mistake. it was about the account. 20 or so years ago, and china demonstrated that they can be a capitalist state but at the same time be absolutely and at the same time

remain a totalitarian regime and we. yes , we found ourselves in such a difficult situation and they too. from the point of view of trade, there are a lot of trade relations that well, it will be difficult to destroy, and on the other hand, we are geopolitical opponents, and you are ruling in this, as if the essence of the problem is unclear, how it will end , and what forces will win, and who will decide what is best for us. well, what better friend than to give birth, or vice versa, and it will be necessary to destroy some trade relations for the sake of national security, some other political interests, let's return to the quote by john kirby, which we cited here, regarding the price of the war that is now russia conducts against ukraine and uh, rhetoric, the very meaning of these words. it is very reminiscent of uh, well, let's say the assessments of the politicians of the leaders of the countries of the european continent, and in particular those who are on the eastern flank. well, for example

, the baltic countries or the president of poland, andrzej duda, they say that their countries may be next, they say that now ukraine is also defending their independence , but this is john kirby's assessment of what exactly do you think he meant when he said that the defeat of ukraine would cost more than what america now issues in support of ukraine, and john kirby also mentioned the lives of americans, well, here it is necessary . i think that i read what he spoke. there is an answer to the question in the context of what, what, what war has been going on for more than a year and the only one well, how could putin not defeat ukraine with

western support? nadezhda pochemu he does not give up why is he not himself ? to decrease in some way unfortunately , public opinion issues in america in certain areas well, i have already told how in the trump frankivsk wing of the republican party , support has fallen significantly there, and some statements by some politicians to the congress perhaps it gives putin some hope, and i'm not an expert on european countries, but i saw some news, too, that too, there 's a movement both for and against, that's what he's counting on, and that's why the baidan administration is, in this case, junk and all the other people in the congress, who are for ukraine, are trying to give a signal that no, our support for ukraine will not end. we

will never help ukraine to the last, so that putin does not even have any hope that he can somehow squeeze out this gate informative well, i don't know, maybe it's not a war, but such an informative duel . where is putin trying to prove that he's waiting there ? we are trying to show that this will never happen to him, it is better to surrender faster than poland, and in this context, i believe that john kirpy was precisely answering the question, you are asking to explain to the americans and all the journalists. explain that we need to help ukraine to the end because it will be much more expensive in all respects and questions and questions from russia and ask about the fact that putin will try to undermine our

democratic allies will try to influence our allies in europe, it will cost us much more than any help that we will now provide to ukraine , that is, this is exactly what is happening. by western allies. well, here it is about money, the usa and china. 835 billion dollars is a record figure for the budget of the ministry of defense of the united states, according to bloomberg, and record expenditures for defense in peacetime , according to the publication . and the development of weapons, as well as 170 billion dollars for the purchase of new weapons , the main reason for the increase in the armed potential, say journalists, is the escalation of tensions with china.

the arms race has begun, the cold war is not the cold war, but the fact that investment in weapons is beginning. well, i think that there are two points, the first one is what you said if we started to stay with china for a long time, and we really need to because of this, they will increase our spending on weapons, but on the other hand, again, in the short term, the war in ukraine demonstrated to america and the nato countries in europe that we were not ready from the point of view of weapons, we were not ready to the protracted conflict that is taking place in to ukraine, a lot of weapons are supplied, and they are delivered now from new weapons. the problem is that there is not enough ammunition , that is, we cannot naturally give absolutely everything, but we give a very large amount, but how about a million ammunition for the galaxy. more than a million was transferred to ukraine before, and ukraine has been spending for years since

it spent probably not several years of production of these ammunitions and this is a problem . and we need to increase production in the long term and increase it in the short term production in order to be able to continue supplying weapons to ukraine, and therefore, if we take the budget of the pentagon, in the 21st year, it was 718 billion, 778 billion, and here is the last budget for the 23rd fiscal year, from october to september, and the congress allocated a budget for sony 817 billion, and in addition, by the way, congress can allocate additional money during the year . it will have to be increased even more, but again for two reasons - we need to continue to increase production for supplies to ukraine and in the long term it is a threat of a potential conflict with china, again , this is a rule in this context. it is about

taiwan, that is, is it correct? i understand that this dynamic is the war in ukraine and the hit of hostilities do not have a direct effect on this dynamic , despite everything, you foresee an increase in this limit of funding and in the next year, i did not understand the questions. budget, it will increase regardless of what events and how events will develop in ukraine. i understand correctly that it will still increase in the following years. i think that this is an ob- two factor. one is urgent. we do not know how long the war in ukraine will last. i hope that not for a long time, it is not clear that it can be my reliable , they may not be justified, and on the other hand, it is painful and even more long-term, it is china, that is, these are two factors that i see aa.

in some way, to increase the production of existing capacities, but if you are talking about the long-term, then this is necessary, and firstly, spend money on new weapons development . what is happening? we will not have long-term needs to do this because of this, these two points are the war in ukraine and, er, that we are not ready and probably not ready for a serious confrontation with china, these two points affect the increase in these capacities it doesn't wake us up after all. and about ukraine today, trump's interview with fox made a lot of noise. where is the focus? news edited the interview and cut out his trump about what if he were the president, he would hm allow russia to buy certain regions of ukraine, is there a reaction in the states, how did they react to trump's wing

, that is, it's people who listen to him who agree with him. i'm talking dear the leader took such a position, and that’s what he just did. well, he spoke as if this was the case, but it often sounded in the most open text in this interview that he would simply give putin some territories so that he would agree from the very beginning. if it is possible to change an article that can be found on the internet, it is called with sarcasm ukraine under trump, there would be no such thing . where do i tell in detail ? this is a long grid. -th years and in that volume including what he did during his presidency, and it is likely that he did, according to his own officials, the people who worked for the fire of the administration, to do more than stay for the second term, and therefore it is not surprising for everyone, for everyone else who follows this

issue, who saw this interview or heard what he said, uh, it was on the radio today, i'm looking for nothing surprising here, he just said in a completely open text that he basically spoke the last thing before that, well, that's why unfortunately, uh, his wing is trump's wing party it has an influence on the speakership in the congress on the speakers in the chamber representative on kevin mccarthy and it is not clear how strong this influence will be and how it would be which was adopted in december, and it will end in the summer . to have you block it i don't know the answer i hope not dmitry i will ask for a short answer but the reverse side of this

political coin is so internal and here the democrats in america are creating a national advisory council and as far as i understand it will be connected with the elections and the question remains open regarding the second term of the probable current president, job biden, how much is this a risk for the further support of ukraine, how will the political situation inside the united states return ? yes, about the election campaign and its course, the problem with the election campaign is basically that it is not who will become the next president, he says that the war will end on the 24th of the year pobedy ukrainy eh. in the fact that the candidates will ask him to show himself in different ways. well, yes, and if biden supports ukraine, then his opponents will either say that ukraine should not be supported, or i will not

say that he supports ukraine there are not enough jobs, if there is some other position, ukraine can become a political football in the pre -election campaign, which is actually too bad because it is the best. i was able to solve this problem, of course, not to my advantage, but first of all, we don’t know for sure whether biden will run for office, he says that he will, but he is delaying how this moment, uh, that he will run for office, and it is not clear in after all, what will he decide, so this is how his decision might be ? among republicans, i don’t see that the ukrainian candidate could win the preliminary race, that is, it will either be

trump, or it will be a distance, who has already taken a stand against ukraine together with trump, and the rest of the candidates are just there there are candidates who can do more for ukraine, but they are unlikely to win, and the presidential race may be one of those not-so-good factors in this case. we heard, thank you for your time for the conversation. thank you, dmytro abramson, a blogger and political commentator from the united states of america is in touch with us there, the defense front and the battle for donbas, as well as the priorities outlined by volodymyr zelenskyi, the head of state thanked everyone who is fighting for the liberation of ukrainian land and also announced new just steps against those who is trying to weaken our state, let's hear the address of the president of ukraine. i wish you good health, dear ukrainians, a short report about this day, i held a meeting with the military and

news continues and we continue the biggest tank battle in this war is the so-called three-week confrontation near ugledar, where the russians suffered a painful defeat instead of the desired advance, the russians again chose a failed tactic, they attacked in columns, while our defenders maneuvered by firing from afar or from taming, how did it happen, how much equipment and people did russia lose, vladyslav palivoda will tell us, this is our military destroying the invaders in a tank battle under a coal mine, the fields are literally littered with broken equipment and dead russians. this is so far the largest full-scale tank battle won by our armed forces, investigators wrote about it according to the new york times, a fierce battle took place . for about three weeks, the occupiers lost more than 130 units of armored vehicles there, because our

military was much more experienced and more effective in their use and training the familiarity of the russian tankers is also inferior, let's say, to the ukrainian troops, that is, it must be understood that our tankers are fighting on similar equipment, which may be even a little worse, but due to more confident, more skillful use , we do not have such losses as the enemy and we can say that we used our e-e tanks more thoughtfully and more effectively than our sports ones, the rest of the loss of a large number of combat vehicles was a blow to the enemy army of the armed forces of ukraine, they destroyed almost half of the modern t-72 main battle tanks approximately two-thirds of t-80 tanks and a total of
