[000:00:00;00] we will see what will happen before the second reading. thank you, mr. mykola. it was mykola knyazhytskyi , people's deputy of ukraine. it was a program. the verdict was conducted by serhiy rudenko. i wish you all a good weekend. take care of yourself and your loved ones

. due to a recent comment address to the president we have collected everything that is known so far and will try to understand whether such personnel changes will affect the relations between britain and ukraine and let's start with the news that today sounds loudly not only in the ukrainian media but also here in london volodymyr zelenskyi dismissed vadim from the post of ambassador of ukraine to great britain, one of his oldest associates in the position of vadim pristakov, duty from july 2020, the reasons for the dismissal are not given, however, many experts suspect the dismissal the pharmacy is associated with criticism of the president if, shortly after, at the nato summit in vilnius, british defense minister ben wallace said that ukraine should express more gratitude for the aid provided with weapons, zelenskyi replied that ukraine is grateful to britain personally

to the minister. later at the press conference, zelenskyi added that we can wake up in the morning and thank the minister personally after that . to the united kingdom itself the kingdom is one of the leading military partners and allies of ukraine in the war against russia, the country became the second among the countries of the world after the united states in terms of aid to ukraine, and the words of the minister of defense benevoles, as he later clarified, were intended to convey that ukraine sometimes has to admit that in many countries there is support in some parliaments that is not as strong as in britain, and this is how events are described by the bbc diplomatic observer james lan dale on bbc news, diplomats always rely

on the support of their leaders in their countries and if they are, they are lost, they are often replaced, but there is no official information about the reason for the release of the prestika, but this may be related to the recent controversy surrounding ben volos's remarks. he said that ukraine should be more grateful if it wants to keep its word of support for the west for a long time. this was his serious argument. look, if ukraine wants to keep support for the long term, then it should change the tone of its arguments and at the international level and try to win new support and new allies, but this obviously caused a lot of trouble. indignation in kyiv is so self-inflicted, in lithuania zelensky joked and said well, maybe i will have to wake up every morning and call mr. volos to tell him how grateful i am. and in response to this, the british ambassador said that maybe this is unhealthy sarcasm, but even this light criticism seems to have been poorly received in kyiv, but it says more about the internal politics in kyiv than about the real behavior of mr. prytyak, it must be remembered that the ukrainian leadership is not only zelen he has

a presidential team and there are many around him people such as andriy yarmak and others who have influence on the government should add to the opinion of critics of the ukrainian government that such criticism is not to the liking of the government, which is used to getting its way if it is not the will, just wanted to say listen. we must justify everything and do not assume that you automatically receive the support that we have always had for the amazon delivery service, so that his words are not so harsh, this was his answer when he said that he traveled for 11 hours, he said that this is what we can give you at the moment, and the ukrainian ministers and the officials said that we want to go and that and he answered like yes, wait, he wanted to say that

for the sake of ukraine, all these countries are giving up huge pieces of their arsenals, which makes them completely vulnerable to threats, because they have given away most of their weapons, for example, the baltic countries are currently practically defenseless because of this, so i think that ben voli said that ukraine should understand the sacrifices that many countries are making due to the weapons of ukraine, and it is quite fair in their opinion , but it has a great price, which in terms of money as well as in terms of political capital in their countries, ukraine should understand this, although i should add that mr. prystaiko was an extremely popular figure here in london, very popular in the british government and among other key players in the diplomatic circle, so i think that many here in london will perceive his dismissal as a negative step , but we can say that zelensky is extremely successful , aren't all his diplomatic trips handshakes he worked very hard and

got a lot for ukraine, so his you can understand why he can be annoyed by any criticism of his diplomatic efforts, so he achieved extraordinary success, it is obvious that light criticism is exactly what he cannot withstand , i will add that so far neither the office of the president nor the embassy of ukraine in great britain has given comments on this matter, and maria zolkina, a researcher at the london school of economics, is joining the air on the air. just a fear that er can there will be a certain conflict due to the well-known history of the comments of the president's statements with the comments of the president's comments, but i didn't expect that it would spill out or be a reason to even talk

about the possible resignation of the guard, and judging by the information that is flowing now not only from ukrainian sources, but also that it is a shame for ukraine in british sources , it is perceived . these two events are connected. in particular, it should be added that it was london that provided ukraine with the first tanks and the first long-range missiles, and these steps thus unblocked supplies from other countries, so can the change in the message affect the military support of ukraine from the united kingdom, and i think that at the systemic level the support for ukraine will not change, and in this regard, great britain really presents itself as a strategic partner, not situational cooperation, but rather a strategic partnership, because the victory of ukraine in the war

e against russia is e-e one of the key ones the security interests of great britain are affected positively or negatively by personal moments and the level of personal trust in individual officials who have been building their connections in a particular country for years, of course they are important. therefore, the period until a new ambassador appears in london, of course, mr. prystaiko will continue to do his job, but for the british, with their conservative approach to policy formation, predictability is enough. i think it will be quite difficult

to switch on a personal level to a new person, and moreover, it must be admitted that the current ambassador has quite skillfully written his diplomatic work for the benefit of ukraine into the style of british politics, he was heard here, they trusted him, had a dialogue with him at a sufficiently high level, with well-established connections, how many new candidates, whenever she appears, the same thing will be done. another important topic so in britain went to the election to

parliament, maria, stay in touch with us. so, after the scandal with the parties on downing street and the loud accusations against the then prime minister boris johnson, when he resigned as a member of the house of commons, two of his colleagues followed him later, and so it was not enough to elect other mps and conservatives in their place, and with all their might they hoped to retain the constituencies and lost in two constituencies out of three . bbc correspondent tom rob-watson shares his assumptions about these results say that all previous public opinion polls, which show that the conservatives have lost popularity after 13 years in power, are absolutely right , but

is it because of these results? can we assume that the main opposition party, labor, will win the next election? coincides with public opinion polls, i.e. due to the fact of loss of popularity in great britain, two things are needed: the first is for the voters to conclude that the ruling party is rubbish, and the second is that they also have to make a positive conclusion about an alternative party, but there is an assumption that britain is now at the first stage, but most likely not yet at the second, maria zolkina , a researcher at the london school of economics, reminds us in contact with us how closely kyiv should be monitored by these political axes

processes in great britain such are the positions of competing parties regarding the support of ukraine, well, fortunately for ukraine in great britain, there is no split between the current government and the opposition regarding the possibility of supporting ukraine, and therefore i see no reason to believe that even under the conditions of a change of government in london, the policy regarding ukraine and support for ukraine itself to repel russian aggression will change radically or even significantly, that is why even when the labor party presented its program , the program agenda is also there was not the issue of countering russian aggression was highlighted separately, analysts actually connected this not with the fact that it is not important for the labor party as opponents of the current government, but with the fact that the government and the opposition do not compete on this issue, and this is good news for ukraine, because the so-called debt state is an environment of civil servants . the conditions

of the change of government in britain well, at the same time to what extent do kyiv have strong ties with other parties in great britain? because mostly everyone now knows the leaders of the conservatives, there is definitely a problem here because the conservatives have been in power for a long enough time, and what's more, president zelensky and his office, who are actively involved in foreign policy along with the ministry of foreign affairs, have built relations on a personal political level with the conservatives, and that's why there is a question, and i think that

kyiv is not actively trying to develop build relationships with everyone political authors of great britain, here we would need the experience of ukrainian diplomacy in the united states, where ukraine has traditionally tried to balance maintaining equal relations with both republicans and democrats. maria, thank you for your analysis. maria zolkina, a researcher at the london school of economics, was on our air and we talked about events in great britain

. lok about 21:00 good luck and take care, friends, we continue the broadcast of the espresso tv channel in the studio next to me mykola veresen as next to me vitaliy portnikov really so today we will talk with you about the most important event this day this week about how events develop in the field of defense of ukraine in foreign policy but let's start with the main one from the city and yes yes andriy ryzhenko, captain of the first rank of the reserve of the naval forces of ukraine, strategic expert of the sonata company, deputy chief of the general staff in the naval forces

ukraine in the years 2004-20, we congratulate you mr. andrii, mr. andrii, good health, good evening. well, we will find out if this is a big military secret. and what was the attack on the kerch bridge? what was it? because they talk about different things, and so on. no one can say more or less specifically what happened and what they blew up. some official statement about this, maybe it will be later, from what we see in the video, we can say what ah means two explosions were carried out under the bridge, eh, so it was most likely kamikaze sea drones, because the explosion was just, well, from the surface of the water, eh, so it took place under the road surface of the kerch bridge, you can say that each explosion had a capacity of several hundred kilograms of explosives, well, this is the reason for the fact that only one road was

the works will continue until the first of november, but they they say that somewhere in a month or a half they will make a reverse movement along one of the lanes that was less affected, and as for the military significance, we can say that this bridge is a serious logistical artery for the supply of troops and caputian troops of russia in crimea

. key with heavy military equipment, we know that in fact, daily, echelons of equipment with tanks, artillery, and assembled armed vehicles go to this place on a daily basis, and they can be unloaded somewhere at one of the training grounds in the crimea, such as the training ground near dzhankovi or near simferopol or near feodosia, this old crimean training ground or near novozhornogo, and then this equipment goes to replenish supplies, that is, the group that is now in the occupied part of the kherson region of the zaporozhye

region, mr. andrew, but simply for clarification as far as i understand, the railway part of the bridge is not damaged at all, and the transfer of a set of tanks and so on continues to the full extent, this only applies to this part, and i am talking about it, and i am saying that for a few hours, in fact, the railway bridge was also closed, but around 10:00 a.m. of the day, somewhere 7 hours after the explosion, the railway connection was restored. now it is functioning. what do you think is happening with the supply of aircraft to us? fighters because there are completely different reports in the united states

the states say that already this year they can appear in the ministry of defense of ukraine next year and the question arises in general whether the armed forces of ukraine will be able to add to their offensive aviation forces at some point , well, the fighter program is very expensive and in principle uh well, the reason for which the supply will amount to approximately 10 billion dollars. and this is only the beginning, and then it will be necessary, well, this is logistics, this is a weapon, the weapon is very expensive. and this is the training of pilots, the training of an f16 pilot costs 5 million dollars. well, this is such a nato standard, this amount is, in principle, pleasant for not only the united states, but for other countries, so the financial capacity of the countries is very serious here. well, i think so when this coalition was formed, then the decision was made to

transfer aircraft to it 16 is a really crucial word it turned out to be the united states and the country that manufactures this aircraft, but now we know that ah, as far as i know, recently there was a message from the minister of defense, he said that now the issue is being resolved, that is, as far as we can logistically provide this aircraft in ukraine, and in principle, well, as some of our first studies show, in order to train our most experienced pilots, let's say with experience, it takes 4 months, and in terms of technology , you can also look there, there can also be very

intricate schemes, for example, well, the first aircraft maybe they will come to us in the form they are, the depreciation of the avionics of the radars, maybe with the removal of only special equipment that is connected with the introduction of nuclear weapons, because this aircraft is adapted for this, therefore, well, i think that if everything works out for us, well, how to help us now, then this is, well, the end of the year, it is possible that it will be the first or the first two askaris, so what do we want to have, well, in general , and the vision of the development of the air forces of the armed forces of ukraine envisages having 128 aircraft of generation 4 + this well, the perspective is maybe two years, but well, in in general, the first step can be taken quite quickly, mr. andriy, but look, here we are jumping around on different topics, if this kerch bridge is damaged, then the russian authorities offer the russians to go through what they call new territories. as far as i understand these roads, this road. i looked somewhere there today, about 30 km to the front. does this mean that now they are taking it easy

to get into crimea? the so-called civilians of russia it is probably obvious to the federation that there is also some military potential being added to the crimea and so on, but right now on the map it is all visible what to do with this road, how with it. whether it is worth reaping the so-called humanitarian aspect and whether it is worth not paying attention to it and still, uh, we can aim there somewhere at some point, maybe at night, when there are not so many civilians there, and what do you say to these thoughts ? dyansk-melitopol, that is, these places

are occupied for military purposes the territories of which we carry out regular fire influence , that is, missile attacks, well, most likely it is the second one, or these missiles are the same thing, really, if, for example, there is information that some large group of russian troops is going and it is known where, well, it is there somewhere, there will indeed be an attack, but it is quite possible, you are right. well, i do not think that there will be an attack on civilians there, with some kind of truck or there a car, that is in general, but , well, we know that now, in principle, the situation in crimea

is known to the same russians we his well then what am i i see there and the hotels have started giving big discounts there because they don't really want to go there. well, and then. well, again, all this is spreading even in russia , that is, the feeling that it's dangerous, it is. so, and that's it, but it's the corridor that you showed through it. about 75% of the supply of e. through, well, i go to the crimea through kerchenskyi bridge, these echelons go to feodosia, then dzhankoi, then

there, melitopol, and so on, and so on , and so on, those directions are like this, and such a schedule. well, it is quite likely now that on this route, which showed that it is possible to inflict damage, you need to know that there is an enemy force, and well, in principle, we need to have weapons. i think that it is possible. this is now being done. but this enemy arrives precisely by this route there and for rent, look at another question, how much i looked at this bridge. well, if we talk about it again, it’s interesting that that part is damaged. and as we said, the car part of the bridge from the black sea side, and some experts say that it’s easy to do, but to destroy the railway part is from the azov sea side, and it’s controlled by the russians, and it’s very difficult to aim there, what do you say about it

? well, let's say under the bridge and which was which was the power of the explosive charge because we remember, well, in october of last year, there was actually one explosion, but one explosion damaged everything then. well, then i understand that there was a much more powerful charge. and now, uh, well, it was again, uh. well, it is very difficult to carry out a precise, very accurate selection of the point of the explosion, it is quite difficult, especially since we remember from the video that came out first of the explosions under the crimean bridge that the russians countered them. i understand that at the final stage, they discovered the drones visually and started shooting at them

because it was possible to see such things floors on the video, well, and i understand that ah, well, they strengthened it to sit there, but again, the explosion has an effect according to how many explosives there are, and how many there were, so it worked. it is possible that if the epicenter was killed by an explosion under the railway bridge, well, somehow it would catch there, but well, i think that this charge is not enough to cause significant damage

. sea a week before we also know that supposedly some russian air defense was working there, it intercepted something, but they significantly strengthened the anti-aircraft defense of important objects, it was the kerch bridge in the first place, and the system was flying, they even drop it from the far east , from the city of chongar, which was recently damaged, and then they installed the s400 system, which was dropped there from petropavlovsk-kam. thank you, mr. andrii spas ibi huge andriy ryzhenko , captain of the first rank of the strategic reserve of the naval forces of ukraine an expert of the sonata company, the deputy chief of staff of the naval forces of ukraine in the fourth from the fourth to the 20s, and we are in belarus to pavel sverdlov, the chief editor of euroradio, belarusian radio, if mr. mr. pavlo appears, i will talk to him, yes. good health, mr. pavly, congratulations to the company. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. look, lukashenko signed the law on the people

's militia. in the 22nd year in russia, they tried to create this militia, but nothing came of it to be in belarus or whether they will find 150,000 volunteers. as far as i understand, there should be volunteers who will sign up for the militia. are there uniforms for this? is there money or food for this? are there ammunition for this? orussi well, you are right that geta is trying to find support, that's how hope is in his heart, and that's 150,000 people
