[000:00:00;00] and neutralize the enemy as much as possible. thank you for being with us. don't miss the portnikov program in september today at 9:15 p.m. well , now let's watch bbc news together. good evening. we are from ukraine. this is a broadcast from ukraine in the studio of olga palamaryuk, and today we are analyzing the weekend of world diplomacy in the center in which ukraine once again found itself volodymyr zelenskyi with an unexpected visit to the summit of the league of arab states and his speech turned the agenda of the meeting and is already on his way to japan, where he is expected at the summit of the group of seven

most powerful countries in the world, will they help non-standard moves to stop russia, the attention of many is immediately focused on two events, the leaders of the group of seven countries that started in japan and the summit of the league of arab states in saudi arabia. it is noteworthy that at both of these meetings the topic of ukraine sounded loudly, and let's start with japan, the leaders of the united states gathered in hiroshima germany, great britain, italy, canada, france , japan, as well as the european commission, before the annexation of crimea , russia was also included in the club, but it was expelled, and the place of the informal eighth member was taken by the european union, but today the leaders of the g7 on friday, they agreed to strengthen sanctions against russia, they promised financial aid to ukraine and assured that the country's support would not waver. the participation of the president of ukraine in person at the summit made a lot of noise, in particular, in the media of the news agency . the summit announced many

world changes according to the blumberg agency to japan zelensky will fly on a us air force military plane and stop in saudi arabia about the arab league summit states. we will also talk today. but first of all, how did the news about zelenskyi's visit to japan itself be perceived by bbc-sheima correspondent khalil zelenskyi, in any case, he was supposed to address the participants of the summit this weekend, but these last days we were told that he would do it via video link online. literally in the last hours, messages started to appear that he might actually be here . personally, i was just in the center and you could directly feel the goal when not everyone tried to clarify the details and we now have confirmation from the ukrainian representative who told the reuters agency that very important decisions will be made here. therefore, it is important that the president be here to defend the interests of the country. now here they expect president volodymyr zelensky to speak at the summit of the sms group in hiroshima. of course, this is very important because his country is at war in his country,

the invasion of russia to his country in the center of the negotiations and one of the first news that appeared today even before the leaders met in the memorial park - this is a new package of sanctions against russia and from great britain and the united states the official representative of the usa said that this new package will prevent russia from supporting its war machine, it will be aimed at almost 300 individuals of the institutions of aircraft manufacturers , in fact, what they are trying to do with this is to increase the pressure on russia, but also to eliminate the loopholes that helped it to circumvent sanctions, it is very interesting that the list of invitees actually shows a contrast in the attitude to the situation in ukraine, for some the problem is much more important than for others and there is a certain kind of division some of the countries that were invited to the seven summit actually has strong relations with russia , but we heard from the leaders of this group that they are trying hard to show a united front, you have to remember that people are watching what is happening thousands of kilometers away, this is very worrying because the war in ukraine is going on

and people are thinking about what could to make china belligerent with east asia, even the prime minister of japan himself previously stated that today's ukraine could become east asia tomorrow. this is really what worries people. leaders come here with the hope of economic growth, but there is also a deep concern about security in east asia, voice of america ukrainian correspondent yuliya yarmolenko joins the air. she is currently in hiroshima yuliya. congratulations, the main intrigue of the present is whether the united states is ready to give the green light to the supply of f16 fighter jets to ukraine. did it still manage to press olya vitaya, we have news , in fact, a white house official confirmed to voice of america that the united states will join the efforts of the coalition and

the training of ukrainian pilots on airplanes fourth-generation fighters, in particular on the f16, a high-ranking official of the white house also said that while the training will continue, the countries will decide when to provide these aircraft, in what quantity and who can provide them, these countries hope that the training can begin already in the next few weeks , it will take place outside the borders of ukraine, this is very an important statement that has already been welcomed by the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi , the prime minister of the netherlands, mark rutt , and the prime minister of great britain, rishi sunok, all of them emphasized that it is very it is an important decision and they congratulate him and will do everything possible on their part to ensure that it receives these extremely important capacities . therefore, this is today's biggest news for sure and as andrii yarmak reported, who will now make his way with volodymyr zelensky here to hiroshima and he said that he will also

speak about this. in bilateral meetings, he closes the next issue with president joe biden, so that volodymyr zelenskyi is flying to japan, hiroshima, he can just have a face-to-face conversation with biden, as you mentioned is this meeting really confirmed, not yet confirmed, the only thing is that we heard it from andriy yarmak, so far we do not have an official schedule, which would say that such a meeting between the presidents will take place, but it is possible to predict that in reality, when president zelensky arrives personally for such an important event at the summit of the leaders of the soma group, we should expect that there will be bilateral meetings , or perhaps in an extended format of the meeting , we do not have confirmation yet, but it is already clear that sunday, which is the last day

it is usually a very calm day, the day when some symbolic words happen. perhaps in the final press conference, sunday will be the most active day. the day when we will probably hear the most important news. therefore, we will definitely follow it. yulia is most interesting about the atmosphere, how does it feel? this is the excitement . because of zelenskyi's visit, there is absolutely a stir, in fact, as your correspondent rightly pointed out , confirmation information about the possibility of a personal visit by president zelenskyi has just started to appear here you could hear absolutely nothing and everyone was trying to find out what was really happening. zelenskyi's name was heard in all languages ​​with different accents in the reports in the program in ten languages, and in fact , a lot of attention was paid to this. everyone wants to hear volodymyr zelenskyi and see how the leaders will react or give even more help for ukraine yulia thank you we will also follow the events, we will definitely tell about it in our next editions correspondent of the ukrainian voice

of america yuliya yarmolenko thank you thank you so months-long discussions regarding the transfer of fighter jets to ukraine and pilot training are likely to have results in the near future. and if the main goal of the meeting of the leaders of the g7 was almost the main goal of the meeting of the leaders of the g7 before the sanctions, the bbc's political correspondent chris mason explains why in the end we can expect from right here in the coming hours, in the coming days, it will be possible to see how interested world leaders are in the introduction of additional sanctions against russia , but what is striking about this summit, although this this is always a delicate diplomatic dance of different leaders who to a certain extent share their views or priorities , but maybe not in the same way as the person sitting next to them at the table, that is, a large number of diplomatic negotiations begin months before the summits, diplomats

are face to face with their sharps why are they called sherpas they lead the way to the summits and everyone negotiates on behalf of their prime ministers and presidents to try to decide if there is some common ground that all the leaders can agree on even if it involves compromises and , let's say , the lowest point at which views converge, because in any issue, including ukraine, for some the problem is more important than for another. the communique includes rather broad and sometimes vague wording in order to make sure that all the leaders together will agree on the document, and it was not by chance that we chose hiroshima for the meeting of the leaders of the numbers, this very city emphasizes

the peace-making topic, moreover, this is the hometown of the japanese prime minister fomiokicide, the participants of the meeting began the day with a visit to the hiroshima memorial park to honor the memory of the victims of the atomic bombing of this city in august 1945. currently , the topic of supporting ukraine in its resistance to russian military aggression remains one of the most important although not the only one . not evidence of the destructive power of nuclear weapons for the world without such weapons, there are not enough victims or prayers , but the ghosts of this city have a voice and it sounds a warning to put flowers at the memorial to the hundreds of thousands of victims of the hiroshima bombing, the leaders of the richest countries

in the world came before they talk about the nuclear threat from russia and the war in ukraine, those who survived the atomic bomb turn to this is the message listen to you, listen to your heart, consider that there are many victims in this land, many are still not found if you do not make an effort now future generations will suffer it will suffer for beer super you yourself always having little symbolism the negotiations here are unlikely to lead to promises about disarmament but they aim to starve the russian military machine the prime minister of japan used the tragic history of this city and the big seven came out with with a sharp statement about the introduction of further sanctions against russia. but will this be enough, because although the west avoided the purchase of crude

oil from russia last year, such countries as india and china did not do so, which means that the money is still are flowing to moscow, respect for the past creates the basis for discussions on ending the current war in europe, the j7 leaders will meet with the ukrainian president over the weekend in nadia, they hope that they will be able to reduce the risk of a new hiroshima . such a visit by a ukrainian leader in history , together with the president, the leader of the crimean tatar people, mustafa dzhemilov , zelenskyi spoke about crimea, mentioned that the peninsula was occupied by russia first and muslims suffer the most from repression in the occupied crimea, also during the speech he called on the arab states not to ignore what is happening in ukraine and to join the so-called peace formula, i will remind you

of zelensky's plan, according to which russia should withdraw its troops from abroad in 1991, well, many experts are already saying that zelenskyi's arrival is also important from another point of view . rather non-standard steps to influence the course of the war, this is how today's event is described by bbc correspondent samir hashmir, he is in saudi arabia, some of the statements that zelensky made literally in the adjacent hall where the summit is held and the leaders are meeting are very interesting, and i think one of the most important statements that he made about he wants cooperation and intervention from the leaders in this room and that's very interesting in my opinion because there are many leaders in this room who will either take a neutral position or not take any side at all in this war, i think that the message

that president zelensky tried to send was that he needed cooperation even at the end of the speech . he added that you know that these leaders should make peace with ukraine because they cannot contact him directly, that they do not need intermediaries. so he tried to come out directly on the wide arab world, in turn , of course, another important comment was made by the crown prince of saudi arabia, muhammad bin salman. he said that saudi arabia would like to take the place of a mediator, and this is important because saudi arabia has a very good relations with russia the prince himself they have very good relations with president putin saudi arabia and russia have cooperated on oil production in the world so it is obvious that prince muhammad he salman has a direct line of communication with president putin if saudi arabia really decides to become an intermediary then it can change search for the situation more history on our website bbc.ua on our pages in social networks and we are on the air again on

reports from the hottest points of the freedom front life frankly and impartially draw your own conclusions, congratulations friends on the air of the espresso tv channel, we continue our broadcast with mykola veresnym and vitaliy bortyk great well, what are we going to figure out now oleksandr khara expert on foreign and security policy of the center for defense strategies good health, mr. oleksandr thank you what 's going on join us on friday evening not everyone is so brave mr. oleksandr look at the first question i have maybe you heard rumors i heard such rumors that as if zelensky in saudi arabia seems to have agreed on patriots. well, not from the word patriotism , not even patriot, but from the word patriot.

how likely is it at all? well, you know the power of the word, no one has canceled it, i hope that it can be of good will, and by the way, it is a completely unique case when the president of ukraine, i think it is the first time in history, addresses the countries of the arab league and i think that as goodwill and considering that these countries do not fully support us, well, humanitarian aid gives and from the point of view of sanctions or some kind of pressure on russia or direct support of ukraine with defense by what means, unfortunately, we do not see well, except that egypt first wanted to sell projectiles to the russians, and then, after the americans found out, he decided to help ukraine, but who knows, now this week is so very , very interesting, it seemed to be full of events, for

a change, and starting with the european ones soldiers who were visited by the president and we heard a large amount of help and words of support that they are helping us not only for this counteroffensive , but also in the future, of course, we will be interested in how the f16 topic will turn out, the americans have somewhat changed their position, they are not only ready to grant permission for re-export from third countries to ukraine at the age of 16 , but he already joins the training program of ukrainian pilots on european territory by his instructors , that is, in principle, such very interesting things happen on the go, that is, those that were not worked out there, or before that, we heard other positions, so, god forbid, let it be so. please tell me, mr. oleksandr , what simka is saying today, that they will help ukraine with weapons and after the end of hostilities , this does not indicate a certain forecast that russia can be a threat to ukraine even if it is possible to stop the war now and in this way they just wanted to turn ukraine into

such an eternal fortress, well, welcome - we know that as long as there is russia in the borders of which it is, then of course it will be to pose a threat starting from our own subjects to all our neighbors and so on. of course, as long as we are not members of nato, we will always be in the zone of destruction and we need weapons, by the way , a very strange person said about it, as she soon turned 100 years old, i mean henry kissinger to his interview with icons he said that in general ukraine should be quickly accepted into nato because on the one hand it is a country extremely powerful in terms of weapons and experience, but not very powerful vision of leadership and the ability to think strategically, and the second aspect is extremely interesting that ukraine will actually pose a threat to the russian federation, including but in all of these statements, he said that well , it will probably be necessary for russia to retain

sevastopol, well, at least sevastopol, as his words were quoted, so it is clear that they will help in ukraine understanding that so far in nato they cannot accept it, they cannot accept it, for obvious reasons, that there is a nuclear madman who threatens the world and ukraine, i am an old weapon. well, accordingly, nothing will change until there is a change in the russian federation or there will be. let's say that as a result of the defeat in ukraine, certain centrifugal processes and struggles for power will begin to take place, and then ukraine will have the opportunity to become a member of nato under such conditions, then there will be a different scenario. this is the question, but the price is the price of joining nato, sevastopol can be demilitarized under russian

control. well, you know, let's start with the fact that the ukrainian people and ukraine are uh , it's called agc, that is, subjectivity and no one canceled and i can't imagine that ukrainian society would swallow it, since the issue is that there is a military presence of russia in crimea, and this is an exceptional threat to ukraine. federation, when we supported their nuclear missile shield in 1994, russia tried to annex ukrainian crimea. and we did not want more than the eu, so russia of course, if it has such an outpost , it will use it in order to to destroy our statehood, the second point is a threat to the black sea basin, the third point is a threat not only to countries outside the basin, because ordinary russia

could not do anything in syria without the annexed crimea, and well, in general, in principle, in this region, well, and i also constantly repeat the fact that the presence of the black sea fleet of the russian federation on the territory of ukraine in crimea, and this means a direct missile threat to all of europe, because from sevastopol you can actually reach the british islands with calibers, and the caliber how do you you know, they can carry a nuclear warhead, so the issue of the return of crimea so that there is not a single russian boot or sandal there, they are fundamental not only for the crimean tatars , ukrainians in the black sea countries as a whole, but also for europeans, mr. oleksandr did not hear, i said where is the militarized sevastopol, and why then under russian control well, because there will be trade, if negotiations begin, then during the negotiations there will be trade, the victory of ukraine prohibits trade, it simply neutralizes it, and so

there will be negotiations, that is, during the negotiations someone will say green, someone red, someone white , someone black, and so on and so on, and i do not rule out such an option that i will say let us know you, but russia will cry a lot. 10 years, for example. well, let's imagine the ukrainian demands, we'll say, let's give a day of ukrainian control, uh, that means kaliningrad, secondly , 200 km from ukraine, all military infrastructure should be destroyed, only border guards with these rubber sticks should be there also, of course, the russian federation should reduce its nuclear potential, well, let's say so, to 50 warheads, that is, in principle , it seems to me that this is such an argument from the field of fiction that is greater than well, of course, that no one in russia plans to lose this war, it

seems to them that they can still break it, it seems to them that it will soon be the 24th year here and trump's chances are quite high . to flirt with the chinese or not to save putin's face well, of course they will try to do it, but it seems to me that everything is decided by the amount on the battlefield and will depend on the success of our armed forces, respectively, if it is a wild success, then it will encourage our partners and european and american ones to give us more weapons to support us further so that we liberate all our territory and again in the context of the american elections this will be a very good trump for joseph biden that it is based on the principles of foreign policy gives a positive result because it is not just the preservation of the norm of the principles of international law, but it is a very

clear signal to the chinese, by the way, today also an interesting event took place in beijing, in fact, there is such a festive transfer of the middle asian countries and the sphere of influence of the russian federation to the sphere of influence of china and thus we see that russia is actually losing its positions on all fronts . i don't want to mention the same finland and the north sea . of course, we need to make the black sea a nato one so that ukraine apologizes ukraine-moldova and georgia became members of nato, but i was wrong, but on the other hand , belarus should also be in nato's eeu in the future. look at the russian world, you just started talking about the coalition and i understand correctly. maybe i'm wrong

that now the road to the f-16 is open because today's statements are not only today's statements, but there are past statements, when at first there were two countries, one country, britain , then the netherlands, further, further, today already great britain and france and the rest of the countries are hinting. this means that ukraine can get the f-16 conditionally in the summer. do you think? there are resources, but i would say it was a wild success, well, in fact, let's say that the red lines were drawn by themselves in the heads of american strategists , they have already been crossed several times , and there were also petrivs, and there were tanks, and in fact, there were planes, and that means that the intersection is

tactical missiles and attack. i think we are up to that we will also get there, but there is another aspect. that is, it is very good that an additional three billion dollars were found that were listed there, which can be used to add to the six that remained from the 48 allocated by the congress in december of last year, but still, this money is very logical to spend on what we it is necessary, it is necessary now, that is, for this contour offensive of the company. so here there is a certain sense in the americans that we want to concentrate on, in fact, on those means that are needed now. here, however, launch a training program pilots have been needed for a long time, by and large this was discussed at the beginning of the year, and it seems to me that even in the last budget of this american defense there were several tens of millions allocated for this program. but for some reason, for some reason this was dragged. well, in principle, the decision has not been made yet, but they

are already ready for it and i think that with the help of our british partners who have always played the role of a catalyst who have always been the first to give ukraine something that others did not give, i want to remind you that the british gave us the first three helicopters, well, that is, we do not have any other aircraft of the western model yet, but this was already a precedent, they were the first to give us the same challengers to push the germans. i think that they will push those who have these planes and those who can for them to transfer the funds to ukraine, that's why i think all eyes should be focused on britain , on their rhetoric, on their actions. it seems to me that the country that is going to break or break it is the elite and eh and this process will begin, god bless you, brexit, you only need to say this because if you don't lie it is not known that there was okay let's finish by thanking
