key events that change our lives, news which are impressive, you will know more to act more precisely in tsn week and facts of the week for the marathon the only news every sunday at 20:00 the third night now the marathon is a news day continues in the studio working for you kostyantyn linchevskyi nikita mykhaylok the broadcast will begin just like that what will we talk about hunting for violators of sanctions the united states imposed restrictions on several chinese companies that supplied iran with components for the manufacture of drones to circumvent the ban however, there may be more such shadow aid chains for russia

more, is it really possible to trace all these chains, to interrupt the supply, here we were talking about rifles, bulletproof vests, ammunition, passes, and it turned out that china’s aid to russia is under the guise of dual -purpose goods, and here are two points at once. if this aid is important for russia and can accept it, it means that the case in russia is really bad on the battlefield, as i think in the chinese government, the government is fully aware and aware of what is supplied and what is not supplied. they can manage it. well , because it is about national interests and more this is not the first time that data on such supplies have been exposed. in february, the united states already imposed sanctions on a network of five companies and one individual based in china and involved in the supply of veran aerospace components, the very ones from which the shahedis are assembled from september 2022. the united states has already applied six packages of sanctions against individuals and legal entities

involved in the production and transfer of iranian uavs and the fact that china is actively involved in these supply chains are already quite excited in the us. we very clearly warned china about the consequences of providing such support for example, we will not hesitate to target chinese companies or individuals who violate our sanctions or otherwise participate in supporting the russian military effort . the reaction from beijing did not take long. we will continue to resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of chinese companies in accordance with the law . it was not only the already mentioned martyrs , according to the investigation of the western media, only in january tehran sent 200 oversized trucks with weapons to moscow among of the list and shells for the so-called exhaustion of hunger and fairy tales with bulletproof vests, it became a kind of rear base of the russian federation. and iran is also safe, it is a satellite of china, and certainly without

chinese technologies, without chinese spare parts, iran would not have created what it has created, but china supports and iran is an additional security belt, and now we see the formation of a coalition of personalist regimes . countries led by the usa and authoritarian countries led by china, and russia's war against ukraine only exacerbated and accelerated the processes and also became a battlefield, the hunt for those countries through which the supply of technologies critical for russia, critical for russia, plunges into this business such unexpected countries, well, kazakhstan is a hoped-for country, it is clear, but the fact is that countries such as armenia and georgia are also involved in

this system, and a slow hunt for what is happening there is also beginning for them this is a broader problem, yet another promised land for russia in terms of supplies may be the countries of africa, where the priority of enrichment and voices on the world stage is strengthened by its numerous tour and influence, but they can use this friendship, so to speak, for shadow schemes, africa as a place where it would be possible to bypass the sanctions and receive from there , for example, various types of equipment for radio equipment for the russian industry, and from there. well, it is possible to supply some rare earth elements from there , they will simply extract weapons from there, which put the africans of the ussr as they do in syria with iron men who spied on it themselves and track and block all these schemes

of supplying old weapons and new lions through third countries it is possible and necessary experts say but more radical measures must be sought the main suppliers can be blocked but it is impossible considering how much huge, well, the chinese are, in fact , the world’s factory for the production of everything, and that’s why. well, you can impose sanctions on one enterprise. and another 20 of them work from different provinces. well, you can go in two directions immediately there and in the financial direction by banks and by manufacturers, because the financial system is the lifeblood of the entire economy and banks know who is selling to whom and what, including prohibited or suspicious goods in fact . are already being exposed but

hundreds of such chains can be discovered , including unexpected ones will go unpunished, the united states struck iranian mercenaries , the secretary of defense of the united states of america leyton said that they were targeting the facilities of the iranian islamic revolutionary guard corps, this was a response to the iranian attack on the american base in eastern syria, it was hit by almost a dozen missiles, one person died as a result of the strike american serviceman five more injured edition business sensider notes that the air defense system did not work properly during the attack and did they know it is not yet known about these militants, about it and not only about it, but it is connected with the united states, we will talk further mykola gryskovin is directly in touch with us, this is the director of the us-ukraine relations center in the city of washington, our congratulations, we congratulate you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, mr.

mykola tell me, these are two news items that we announced before adding them to you. the first is the fight against supply chains to iran in order to circumvent sanctions, and the second is a strike on iranian mercenaries as a response to an attack on an american military base. these two events can somehow in a way to connect and connect with the help of russia's wound with the supply of martyrs, including whether or not they essentially go on separate tracks and have no relationship, the latest news about the strike , the response to the sanctions on iran is not with russia, we see that the alliance between iran and russia has deepened a lot and iran and russia are old allies, it’s already something, kids , it’s undeniable, and we see that during this part of this phase of the war against ukraine, that

this alliance has deepened and iran supplies shahids to russia several times weeks ago i was in when was kyiv? so, what about kyiv and this best-op.com.ua iran is waiting for the biggest help from russia, er, it says all the time that russia will provide er, well, the newest types of er, the lithuanian ir are similar, and this is it, it is crossed out, er a certain alyan, this is something that has been talked about for a long time, this oska, la, this is russia , iran, north korea, china, and it’s all a combination of a-a-p, mykola, and here is another piece of news that drew er, well, in particular, my attention er, from

16 on march, the commander of the central command in the usa, general eric smoked . as far as i understand, he says that it is the last one a month ago, the attack aircraft of the armed forces of the russian federation began to carry out more often, as he said , aggressive flights near the american bases in syria. here are such incidents. do you think they will be more frequent or what kind of provocations are these today? -a twists the stakes a-a and but he is wrong because when around ukraine and things like this and the allied states and nato are er-er careful or they do not want a direct confrontation between the er-e

nato allied states and russia and within of the ukrainian russian conflict - the conflict with a in iran in syria well, there in the middle east a-a that uh-uh the west conducts more uh-uh aggressive military uh-uh action than a and about ukraine remember that a few years ago several hundreds of wegner's mercenaries were killed by the american air force . this is directly the confrontation between the american troops and mr. mykola, another direction of the confrontation of the provocations from the russian federation concerns the nuclear security of putin's world declaration. i think you are the same heard recent reports on a russian propaganda channel about the fact that russia will place

tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of belarus, they say that belarusian pilots are already training there, specialists in how to carry these missiles with a nuclear warhead, why am i asking about this because the response of the united states, in particular, the pentagon there are no signs of russia's preparation for the use of nuclear weapons. this is a position that is in unison with nato's position that they do not notice any changes in the nuclear police of the russian federation. this is also an attempt not to escalate and there is hope that all this will end with putin's words and no more. if so, how correct is such a policy of non-escalation on the one hand. and the fact is that the united states and nato countries

know very, very clearly where russian nuclear weapons are located. and is well developed. they know exactly where these weapons are located, how they move, and so on. this is a system that was developed and uh, the last uh, 10 summers were perfected . it the number one priority is electronic surveillance and surveillance by these satellites by these means. that is, as it was, they openly say that they are not there, it is very easy to believe that they are not there. mykola let me pick up the topic of the cold war and nato er and i remember 49 1949 the first secretary general of the north atlantic alliance then named three

er goals of nato - it is to keep the russians at a distance from the usa in the game and to put pressure on germany , this is what he said then er what has changed since those as of now, as you can see, there are three main tasks of nato, because we are facing this on the air, uh, with a bone when they discussed this is my comment, nothing has changed by and large, you know, but now , well, for a certain time, it has changed, because for a certain time, europe began to play such a policy of friendship with russia, and so on, and rial is a politician, uh, well, germany played such a game and back in the 70s and 80s and we saw that the government was an angel to the player and real madrid flew away, but now it is the opposite, we see how much aid now in the last few months

, how much military aid has increased from germany it happened and we can see the very rhetoric of the german government is very pro-ukrainian, compare it to last year or even a year and a half ago, when they were afraid of this nord stream-2 and so on, and this is the result of pressure , mykola, or not, this is this, this is, on the one hand , the result of pressure - it is that the united states very skillfully kept the alliance because putin calculated that he thought that no one else would continue to lead this real flew the latest news is that germany is preparing to produce 30 russian diplomats with germany espionage this is

a radical change and this is the pressure of the united states and this is also what the germans see what is happening in ukraine, they understood what it is, that it is a threat, german politicians, and when they went to ukraine, they saw the signs of genocide, and similar to this, and this is also a skillful policy of the ukrainian foreign ministry. and that the ukrainian foreign ministry delivered this message to germany and europe, and we see very strong support from europe over the last few months, for the whole time, and they are increasing, and we see that europe will deliver a million rounds of ammunition to ukraine, this is a huge amount of ammunition, and these are modern ammunition

, which are much more effective than those e munitions from the times of the cold war, which is exactly what russia used, mykola, if we continue the topic of the pressure of the united states on the european union in the plan, again, and the confrontation with the russian federation , the support of ukraine is remembered by the words of joseph borel, the head of european diplomacy . when he commented on the sanctions, he said that it was running out the possibility of the european union to implement new packages of sanctions, well, in fact, more than 14,000 of them have already been implemented, and what else can washington press on, then, in the plan of brussels, in order to encourage the european union to reduce cooperation with russia, pressure on russia what other non-eu levers of influence do washington have, er, i still had my er, er, so to say er, well, my opinion about the sanctions policy, because there were certain politicians

in america they think that they can solve everything with sanctions, and this is not so. the most important thing is that europe should provide more and more weapons. my important policy is that it will go the way it is going. we see that this sectional policy has a strong influence on russia, but it is very slow tei a and the consequences of these sanctions still exist, we will see them, we will knock them down, we will see them. they are starting to appear now. i cannot produce modern weapons on target, and this is a consequence of the sanctions and the sanctions that they have already implemented. we will see. a very strong effect for six months in a year, and now ukraine needs weapons well, as illina kostenko wrote in that famous

poetry maruk if heaven we need gunpowder and specifically we need it really is there is there is there is a need - it is a perbu to produce ammunition is needed, gunpowder p mykola about what we already see now it's hmm, i want to return with you to the middle east, it's that well, for example, china has reconciled iran, saudi arabia, and there are analysts who say that russia and china are getting closer, and they say all this because of the weakening of the united states of america's position, including in the middle east, that can you tell me about this? you know, there are different opinions and they will be coming in a few years. the presidential elections will be here. we already have certain candidates, and they are from

the republican side, traditionally , traditionally, the republics are hawks. traditionally there were hawks about russia and about ukraine, we must remember that it was not the democratic administration of biden that provided weapons to ukraine first, it was the republican administration of trump that provided weapons to ukraine and we see that a -namely and besides this

, there is a marginal force among the republicans who look skeptically at ukraine. er, in the congress, and i , the republicans will put a lot of pressure on them to strengthen the policy a regarding the middle east comments from the republican side i that this policy that biden is conducting regarding the middle east is not strong enough and such a-a non-residential policy proves that we have such a situation now with regard to republican hawks and their e the statement about ukraine is immediately mentioned by rondesantis, the governor of florida and the main competitor of donald trump, so in the republican direction, that is, in the candidate for the presidency of the united states, who

has changed his position regarding russia's war against ukraine, so now it is not his the internal conflict is now not a conflict with him now it is a war and the borders of ukraine must now be inviolable and russia is the enemy and what prompted desantis to radically change his statement who was knocking us to him and why, so to speak, what prompted him to say such words there are republican voters. and there was a new survey a few days ago , and it showed that more than 50% of republican e-e voters will strongly support ukraine and those voters, especially those voters who are in his state in florida, they are very loud they reacted, yes, to his position that this is a regional conflict, i know it from the first sources, uhu, well, then

, yana they mentioned desantis, we should also remember trump, who recently announced that he could end the war in 24 hours, without explaining how it was how to interpret this mr. mykola, you know i read it a lot this headline interested me very much in 24 hours he uh the war uh will end a very interesting statement about trump that he is a politician who uh already uh how did he say it i overdue mine in due time, so to speak. you know how milk overdues its own often it turns sour and it happened precisely with trump a-a better element , wiser element of the republican party, more experienced element of the republic and the republican party and left him and he is the candidate

of these mayonnaise and those marginals are very loud but in reality they have you know. in my opinion, like the republican party, ah, well, corn oil will choose him again as a candidate for the presidency , they will lose very, very bitterly, tell me , mykola, what is the percentage among the republicans ? what kind of support trump can count on, you will find out how to look in the house of representatives, there are about 450 of those members of the house of representatives, there are 200. i think there are 16 republicans, and from that, 10 of those 206, 10, they are frankly against ukraine, this

contest to which they belong there are twenty of them, and this trick was divided, divided into half, there is a sermon and they voted for ukraine. and how am i, and with this you can do some arithmetic, namely, what percentage of the portal of the entire republican party, but now i am not on the air i can do this arithmetic, but this margin, mr. mykola, at the same rally, trump called himself the most profitable person in the history of the united states of america, this means that all the persecution and investigation, more precisely, what is going on in the united states right now, and according to your opinion, they will be condemned, i will now walk a certain

american electoral politics. it would be very, very good for the democrats if they condemned trump and if there was an arrest, this arrest warrant was issued, then they used it because of the opinions and republican strategies. trump will go uphill. and it is easier to beat him and defeat him in the elections, because he would be the weakest candidate from the republic. also, this one. i am talking about those marginals , these 10 in the house of representatives, it is the white house that uses them because there is a certain certain part of the democrats who, and we can see it in politics, it is very important that

it is very gradually approaching ukraine, and the weapons, and the crossings into ukraine have been destroyed, and all the time we have to put a lot of pressure on both from the side of ukraine and and and and and and here from the domestic politics of america so that this aid was increased and it is they who are using these republicans for their politics, as you can see, this aid to ukraine is beginning to become unpopular and it is already domestic and american election e kitchen summarizing questions regulating questions yes i can come on somehow p mykola very briefly 24th year who at the finish line of the presidential campaign, two people, biden, trump, biden, anyone else, or not

, biden, and anyone else, in your opinion, i know, this field has not been expressed, we see, ah, i really like nicky gayle, and the former ambassador, ah the un has a very strong, conservative and political position, and a very strong position regarding ukraine, and it is very interesting to me, and it is high time for america to have a woman as president of some kind, america is still in the cave age, and with all this we see that various other countries had women as leaders, give it a good time for it to happen now, i am also a supporter of niki geiri , i am a very strong candidate, and i know that there are people around him who understand the ukrainian issue very well, so

his statement is very me i jumped in, but there are others there is a former president, and pence is a vice president, and there is this iron pompeil, and the former secretary of state, this is very strong, strong candidates. thank you very much. we will follow all these politicians you listed . thank you very much . was with us just before president volodymyr zelenskyi's statements, one cannot distance himself from the war even mentally , the president called to support ukrainian soldiers constantly and unceasingly, because it is unity that is the key to our joint victory over the aggressor's address to the president of ukraine continues. i wish you good health, dear ukrainians, today our national guard celebrates its day and it would be right if we all together thank

the national guard for how the national guard, together with all our soldiers, is fighting powerfully. for ukraine, we thank you for strength and strength, both for donbas for the defense of bakhmut and avdiyivka, the zagory defense of mariupol and azovstal, for the battles in luhansk region or its kyiv region, for the battle for kyiv, together with all the forces of defense and security of ukraine, the guardsmen chased the occupier from the northern regions of our country from the kharkiv region keep the defense in the south in the zaporizhia direction separately, i want to thank the mood guard, which has already become an example of the exemplary formation of new brothers for the ukrainian defense during the full-scale war, almost 5,000 national guardsmen have already been awarded state awards precisely for participating in battles for bravery for stability for the combat result
