[000:00:00;00] yes, bye, good health, this was a program, the verdict was also conducted by serhii rudenko. bye, i greet you in the bbc studio in london , iryna taraniyuki, today we are saying that anthony blinken demonstrated in allies with the adversary, staying overnight in a country that is at war, the us state writer, on his own saw the effectiveness of western weapons with his eyes on the second day of his visit to ukraine, during this visit washington announced a new aid package worth more than a billion dollars in the kremlin immediately expressed indignation at the presence of this package

tank shells with depleted uranium, what is special about them and why they scared the russians so much, an unprecedented step for a high-ranking government official, yes, the decision of the us secretary of state anthony blinken to stay on the second day of his visit to ukraine is being commented on today by british observers, it seemed that he really came , showed support, announced a new aid package and left away from sin and war, but not staying for these two days , blinking testified that the united states also supports the decisions and actions of the ukrainian command on the battlefield at the end of the first day in kyiv, after blinkin's talks with his counterpart dmitry kuleba and president volodymyr zelensky, the us government announced a new package of american aid , the amount of which exceeds one billion dollars, while in general, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia , the united states has allocated more than $43 billion to ukraine, what is the key in the new package of american aid this package of military aid is already 46 that the us administration gives to ukraine from the reserves of its defense department

, its amount exceeds a billion dollars and more half will go to military needs and the development of the security of civilian objects in ukraine, in the military part of the us aid there will be 120 mm tank shells with modified uranium, equipment for air defense systems , ammunition for gaimers missile systems, as well as artillery ammunition of 155 and 105 mm caliber, anti-tank missiles and javelin complexes and, finally, more than 3 million cartridges for small arms should arrive in ukraine already this month, the first batch of abrams tanks, for which shells with modified uranium are intended the most controversies broke out, the sharpest reaction from the russian side was caused by the news about tank shells with modified uranium, today kremlin spokesman piskov said that this is a bad decision, and the responsibility for the consequences of the use of such shells, according to him , will be entirely on the united states government, but as the diplomatic correspondent vishy poladams emphasizes, this is the rhetoric of the kremlin not new, at the beginning of the year, the russians already expressed

a similar protest to london ready that britain is not the first country to provide ukraine with shells with modified muran - it was already done about they have been disputed in the past and moscow in the last few days has repeated the claim that such projectiles spread radiation and pose a certain nuclear danger, most scientists say that this is not so, such projectiles have also been used in other conflicts around the world, there is no evidence that they had such an impact that they really do yes, it effectively penetrates armor, that is, as a weapon against other armored vehicles, they are extremely effective, that is why i think the americans decided to supply them, it is a component of a larger package , in fact, the main part was non-military aid it was a number of other things the key and from economic aid it is interesting there are four 5 million dollars of frozen russian assets frozen from russian oligarchs they are not

given to ukraine to help with the costs of rehabilitation of ukrainian veterans this may be the first case when frozen assets are used thus blink emphasizing the aid, he explained that it is needed in particular for ukraine to keep up the pace of the offensive in the south, but also for the future of ukraine, blinken's visit is taking place at a time when the united states in the united states , mostly anonymous comments appeared in the press criticizing the ukrainian offensive, which is allegedly taking place very slowly and is unlikely to reach the end of this year. blinken eventually spoke about the fact that progress is real and american aid will continue and be given if you look at the map, what has changed in the south during the last days. it is necessary

look carefully enough to see the changes, but they are happening and according to the beliefs of ukrainian officials, they are a breakthrough that can lead to an acceleration of the counteroffensive, so blinken wanted to emphasize this. and what can a person who dealt with them, colonel tankist, a former commander of british forces and of nato contingents, the gen between debretengordon says the russians are simply instilling fear because there kiva abrams, the main armor-piercing projectile contains depleted uranium, which is a very heavy metal and designed to destroy other tanks, in fact, to destroy other tanks, you need something very heavy, which will move at a high speed of one and a half thousand meters per second, and it will destroy russian tanks, there are two points here , firstly, the russians and they themselves use it with a poor wound, they just catch up with fear and secondly, i understand that people in ukraine who survived nuclear power in chernobyl in the 80s, when a huge area of ​​the country was contaminated, can

be very afraid when someone mentions the nuclear isotope uranium, but the uranium used in nuclear power plants is highly enriched it is impossible to cause a nuclear reaction from depleted uranium, of course, there can potentially be a great danger if there is a lot of depleted uranium on the battlefield, but if it is not touched, there is no danger. meanwhile , the ability to defeat the russians and drive them out of ukraine as quickly as possible, in my opinion, is the most important, so i hope that people in ukraine will not worry about this, we need to focus on helping them defeat the russians who unleashed this illegal invasion, the nuclear threat exists in connection with the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant that the russians can detonate unfortunately this is how russian misinformation is spread it tries to create this fear however depleted uranium is an inert heavy metal and will not

create any significant pollution as a nuclear power plant i want to reassure people in ukraine that this is something they should not worry about it has been used for 30 years i dealt with depleted uranium shells for 24 years when i was a tank commander i don't recall any problems with it i think it should be emphasized the potentially very small risks so when this war i hope that these projectiles can be safely destroyed and disposed of as soon as possible. however, i am convinced that this is a very, very small risk. i hope that the people of ukraine will listen to this and not to the propaganda and disinformation coming from the kremlin. the visit was emphasized on the bbc broadcast by liana fix, a researcher on european security issues, she is the dietary center 's foreign relations adviser, and the symbolism of this

is that with her two-day presence in ukraine, anthony blinken sought to dispel the assumption that the us administration is dissatisfied with the pace of the ukrainian people. in general, blinken's visit to kyiv had three goals, first of all, to demonstrate the long-term commitments of the united states to ukraine, and it is noteworthy that many financial guarantees were really devoted to long-term financial planning in in ukraine, blinken also emphasized that it is not only about counteroffensive, but also about ukrainian democracy, the economy, in view of the long-term perspective, another point which he wanted to express during his visit is to refute the idea that the ukrainian counteroffensive has stalled, that the politics of the west has reached a dead end and there are no developments, some dissatisfaction that we have observed during the last weeks, it seems that the counteroffensive is not moving as fast as it could and in the end - after all, he also wanted to see with his own eyes what is happening in kyiv, what is ukraine's plan regarding the contrast for the future

, especially in light of the fact that there are many sources in the american government who spoke of disappointment with how the ukrainian counteroffensive and also anonymously criticized ukraine in the press for its wrong strategy and this is what secretary of state blinken wanted to deny, he wanted to get a picture from the inside. very different from last year, russia was able to strengthen the defense in the occupied territories, especially with mines, so the ukrainians lack demining equipment, there are also still problems with ammunition, so anthony blinken definitely wanted to see the plan of how ukraine hopes to advance further by the end of the year and especially from the beginning of the seven, when it will be more difficult for the infantry to advance, there is still a window of opportunity for ukraine, this is a few weeks before the onset of winter, and he definitely wanted to know how ukraine is going to use this time and what else the western allies

can do to support ukraine in this short period of time, which is left until the winter, a really short period of time and a little more than a year before the presidential elections in the usa, the first televised debate of candidates for nomination the candidate for the presidency from the republican party showed one stability in the issue of helping ukrainians among them there is no need to talk about trump, who promises the americans to end the war in one day, so the question about support for ukraine was asked by the presenter of the program news they know to a person who is well versed in the intricacies of american politics, the secretary of state the usa under president bush and now , a teacher at stanford university , condoleezza rice, in your opinion, how long will the united states continue to support ukraine? i think that in the dna of the american people after after many years of global leadership, there is an understanding that it is unacceptable when a larger country decides to destroy its smaller neighbor . this is not the kind of education we would like to live in. the american president, whoever he is

now or in the future, can say that americans are also tired and wonder why he cannot do this someone else but i think that in the end when a country and its people are challenged they always accept it and in the first and second world wars and during the terrorist attacks of september 11 and now in ukraine and i think you will see it you will see it again you you speak so confidently about this. but why do you believe this, because there are arguments among republicans and many of them are determined to stop helping the country if they become candidates from the republican party at all, then most of them are on the other side , if you count, you will see that there are three camps, those who very resolutely support ukraine and give quite convincing arguments, in my opinion, that it is in the interests of america to make sure

that putin's aggression does not win, there are those who perhaps hedge a little and talk about the need for evidence that ukraine spends money correctly and so on, but this does not mean that they will miss the end of support, and finally there are some separate voices of isolationists who, by the way, are leading in the polls, yes but again, you know in the usa now, the polls are the first impression, i would advise don't rely too much on this poll as soon as someone becomes president of the united states they will see that it is a false position to sit back and let the world go around them i think any american president will admit that in the end, this will be a very unpopular position among americans, do you think that the weak response of the west to russia's invasion of georgia in 2008 ultimately pushed president putin and this led to his army

entering ukraine in 2014 and then what we saw happened last year in a full-scale invasion if ukraine was in nato maybe he wouldn't have done it , you can remember that some of us believed that the membership action plan for ukraine was the right decision that it is possible to create a neutral zone if you want it was a mistake i have to say that this time, the response of the west may have shocked putin because it was a strong reaction from america and europe, we met with him, he really is one of those leaders, so he may be shocked, i really think he was surprised. i know him quite well and for many years there were people around him who did not they were afraid to tell him the truth, then he was surrounded by different people, but now he is surrounded by those who only agree with him . i think that during covid he communicated with many modern rasputins who

told him about his heritage and his appointment to restore the russian empire it was some kind of megalomania that made him blind to what could happen as a west it is necessary to prepare for the possible return of trump, the west must prepare for the fact that the americans will have elections well , we will see who will become the president of the united states i trust our system that should lead the right person in the white house at the right time. i will remind you that i was the secretary of state in the administration of president bush, and the secretary of state in the administration of the current president, joe biden, is completing a two-day visit to ukraine. that's all for today you are looking for more interesting things on our website and everyone krapka.ua and on our pages in social networks we will be on the air again tomorrow at 21:00 and everyone who prepared this program is saying

is happening on the front line and what predictions does american intelligence give regarding the ukrainian breakthrough by the end of this summer after dinner at mcdonald's a trip to chernihiv the head of the us state department continues his visit to ukraine what is important from blinka for today and what to expect from the g20 summit that will be held without ukraine new the minister of defense gets to work today the president introduced rustem umirov to the employees of the department, what exactly the mayor called his priority tasks and why is he taking on the vlk, which is subordinate of the general staff of the defense forces were successful in the areas south of robot and west of vervogo in zaporizhzhia. this is reported in the general staff and they add that the offensive operation of the armed forces of ukraine continues

in donetsk region as well. in the lyman, avdiiv and marvin directions, the occupiers transfer their forces to the south and report it to the main headquarters of the national guard, but in the case of the united states, significant progress is noted in the counteroffensive, they make predictions about the ukrainian breakthrough, so the director of the analysis of the intelligence department of the us ministry of defense trend mall said that the probability of a breakthrough of the ukrainian military by the end of this year is 40-50%. he voiced this in an interview with de icons, according to him, the advance in the robotic area gives the armed forces of ukraine a real opportunity by the end of the year to break through all the russian defense lines, at the same time among the factors that make the task very difficult, he calls the limited amount of ammunition and seasonal deterioration but nato secretary general stoltenberg believes that

ukrainian forces are exceeding expectations in the course of the offensive in the south . at the same time, i emphasize that we must not forget about providing support to ukraine, because it is not a matter of choice, but a necessity, stoltenberg said during a joint meeting of the committee on foreign affairs and under the committee on security and defense in the european parliament . we know what other statements were made by olena abramovich . she follows events in brussels. olena my greetings says that she is known. greetings, colleague ganzek explained the need to support ukraine, noting that if putin wins, it will not only be a tragedy for ukrainians, but also a sign for authoritarian leaders from around the world that with the help of military force, you can basically do whatever you want. especially eloquent, i have been following his speeches since 2014 and as the head of the security bloc. he usually limited himself to a narrow circle of messages

, but today he voiced, one might say, memes from ukrainian social networks about russia as during the second army, the russian army was the second strongest in the world, and now the russian army is the second strongest in ukraine, and this is impressive , but the ukrainians, it is the courage, will , dedication, determination of the ukrainian soldiers that make this impossible. and we must also remember the starting point, and the starting point was that when there was an invasion, a full-scale invasion happened in february, most experts told us that kyiv would fall in a few days, and ukraine would fall in a few weeks , hansek continued, noting that now the same experts say that the offensive of ukraine too slow and he insisted that in fact the ukrainian military repeatedly exceeds all expectations and that it is not at all necessary to give advice to ukrainian commanders from the headquarters in brussels and on the battlefield how should they fight and instead should support them praise them for their

efforts questions to stolutenberg, the deputies had a lot, mostly everyone talked about ukraine, and parliamentarians often complained about the insufficiently strong reaction of the alliance countries to the actions of russia. the black sea is not the exclusive internal waters of russia. international waters, in your opinion, we can help ukraine to provide access to romanian bulgarian waters or international waters , is there a plan to ensure this possibility and the last call behind the scenes, please press all the governments that are hesitating and personally the german chancellor on the date of the taop missile we knew that it will be necessary to provide tanks, we started asking for this a year ago, but we were still waiting. we knew that we would have to provide fighter planes at a certain moment, but we still hesitated, and now we know that they need to attack long-range missiles. can you

to explain the rationality of the assumption that russia can attack ukrainian hospitals and schools, and that everywhere we negotiate with manufacturers of long-range missiles to reduce the range. well, the secretary general did not answer all the questions regarding the provision of new types of weapons . he said that first of all, it is necessary to take care of the ammunition for the existing weapons well, a generally summed up his speech by admitting that he regrets that russia managed to avoid responsibility after the occupation of parts of georgia and ukraine, and now, according to him, the european union and nato have no other choice than take care of your security by investing in defense and by supporting ukraine . thank you colleagues olena olena abramovich from brussels was with us directly in connection with the details of the speech of the canadian gen. and gen. stolter varga at the european commission of the european parliament.

strikes on fuel, ammunition, logistics in bridges and roads, such an opinion about the ukrainian counteroffensive was expressed by the special representative of the us state department for ukraine in 2017-19, diplomat kurt volker, now he is in kyiv and spoke with journalists, according to him, those who believe that the counteroffensive for jesus is slowing down have wrong expectations, what ukraine is doing and is doing successfully, it seriously interrupts russia's supply lines, its ability to support its forces that occupy ukraine, in particular crimea and the south of ukraine, ukraine would is on fuel ammunition logistics bridges roads also uses drones to target russian naval ships interrupting russian oil supplies forcing commercial air traffic to stop in russia, due to the drone strikes that convey the reality of this war to the russian people, we are moving to the next phase of defense, but

we are doing it methodically carefully and with some success, so instead of looking at it as usual, i look with admiration that ukraine succeeds in very difficult circumstances without air cover without the longest range artillery systems we could provide and doing it carefully to save lives it's actually very impressive i doubt ukraine can win tonight again there was a loud explosion. let it be heard in the rostov and bryansk regions, as well as in the suburbs of moscow. the ministry of defense of the russian federation announced the shooting down of ukrainian drones. at the same time, local media published videos with explosions and flashes and assured that it happened in rostov near the headquarters of the southern military district of the russian federation, from where the russian command is issued. and directs combat operations at the front in ukraine, and

the governor of the bryansk region reports damage to the local train station in the suburbs of moscow , the windows of high-rise buildings were damaged this is what the local authorities say, and this is how the residents of rostov comment on the night's events. there was a bang, then there was an explosion, and after that, by the way , there was a second bang and more automatic rounds . i think they will say that they are attacking us, that's all. people were hurt because of this, the glass that conducts this special operation, the cotton fell out, the frame, uh , the glass fell, it was interesting, i went to clean it, ivan krychevskyi, an expert on the military portal to

the fens express, joins our broadcast ivana good evening my greetings good evening and i would like you to know what to start with the forecasts of american intelligence regarding the ukrainian breakthrough, they are talking about 40-50%, but in truth 40-50% - it turns out that such a forecast cannot but come true because different the scenarios are predicted in fact in equal shares, i wanted to ask you and on the basis of what in general such forecasts can be made and what value do they have ? to make such predictions now, because on the one hand, of course , we can now say that the ukrainian counteroffensive , well, ms. let's say that the land-based components of this operation have entered a qualitatively new phase

. the military command, on the one hand, destroyed 60% of all the resources that they, well, the enemy spent to maintain the not irrational maintenance of the first so-called line of defense that was arranged worse than these fortifications of the sorovikin line, but secondly, our troops began slowly but surely to gnaw through the same fortifications of the so-called surovikin line, well , they were literally built according to the laws of the second world war, but then it begins with you, what is the nuance that while our troops are at these two points who now claim to be our general staff of the novoprokopiv kaver, because they are gnawing at these very lines of fortifications , to make some further assessments regarding the forecast or forecasts regarding the possible dynamics of counteroffensive, where are our troops? will have time to go somewhere if they don't have time, will it be possible to call it a success or not well, consider what you know well, a speculative forecast for which genre is clearly not worthy in principle
