[000:00:00;00] glory to ukraine, this is a program, my name is serhiy rudenko. i congratulate everyone and wish everyone good health. today in the program , the triumphal attack on the russian triumph is already the second air defense system, which the occupiers called the invulnerable armed forces, destroyed in crimea the new vice-la friendship of putin and kim jong and what for what does this mean for ukraine and how will china react to the campaign? in the trenches, voting through the app. is it possible to hold un general assembly elections in ukraine in 2024, or should we expect a radicalization of sentiment regarding russia's war against ukraine? we will talk about this and other things. during the next hour with our guests today we will have the diplomat of volodymyr and yelchenko, the political expert olesya yakhno and

the fighter of the freedom battalion yaroslav lysenko , we will talk about all this a little later before starting our conversation, i suggest you watch how today the fire near yevpatoria in the crimea on the russian complex air defense triumph, the cost of 1 billion 200 million dollars has arrived, let's see

, i'm going to blow myself up at 5:30 in the morning, there were 14 explosions, one thing above us was scary or usual, the first time because that's what it was far away in itself and here it was close, it didn't explode, it's okay, even though it didn't reach crimea and the occupiers who are on the annexed peninsula are gradually getting used to the strikes of the defense forces of ukraine on military facilities, friends for those who are now watching us on youtube , i suggest you take part e- in the survey today we ask you about whether ukraine needs diplomatic relations with belarus now yes no your option please write in the comments why we are asking this because today it became known that

the european parliament recommended issuing a warrant from of the international criminal court, oleksandr lukashenko, to the self-proclaimed president of belarus for the forcible deportation of ukrainian children, will this happen or not ? it is not yet known, but the question of whether we need diplomatic relations with the republic of belarus is relevant , so we are actually asking you, we are waiting for the inclusion of volodymyr yelchenko, diplomacy, when the permanent representative of ukraine prion and the former ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america, we will naturally start our conversation with what is happening in crimea that over the past few days, we have seen that ukraine systematically destroys the air defense shield over the annexed peninsula. today's defeat of the triumph anti-aircraft missile complex was already the second such

successful operation by the ukrainian defense forces in recent years. on august 23 , the triumph anti-aircraft missile complex was also destroyed in crimea. also the radar station of the teenager alone , which ensured the control of the air situation over the western part of the black sea and the actual destruction of these anti-aircraft systems that protected the sky of the annexed peninsula allows ukrainians to hit targets located on the territory of the crimean peninsula and in the black sea before that it was hard to imagine that the ukrainian aviation would begin to destroy the submarine fleet of the black black sea fleet right in the docks in the docks

the sevastopol ship repair plant also managed to hit the large amphibious assault ship minsk and well, of course, this is a great victory for the defense forces of ukraine, we have a video of how they damaged the russian amphibious assault ship minsk, let’s see girls if you can be quieter because i will the armed forces of ukraine have already announced an attack on two russian ships of the project 22:160 type vasyl bykov. the ministry of attack of the russian federation said that these two ships, which were in the black sea, did not

suffer any damage. - the western part of the black sea. what is project 22,160, these are patrol ships, corvettes in russia, they are on the water , 4 are vasiliy bykov, dmitry rogachev, pavel derzhavin and sergey kotov, precisely about the attack on the latter today and reported by the ministry defense of russia, but they said that it failed, as we can see everything was successful, we are starting to hit the ships of the black sea fleet and those who are in or use social networks maybe you have already seen such a meme where there are a lot of ships of the black sea fleet in the picture, there are somewhere from 60 to 70 of them they are located in the black sea area of ​​the black sea. there was a sign similar to a sea battle where large ships are crossed out. that is, we have already crossed out many

ships of the black sea fleet and hit the ships of the black sea fleet. by destroying the air defense systems on the crimean peninsula , we will have more opportunities and hit these targets more. well, of course, when ukraine receives long-range missiles, it will be much easier to do it. taurus tau missiles are long-range missiles that strike at a distance of 500 km, and these long-range missiles allow you to reach, including the crimean bridge, if ukraine receives long-range missiles and taurus and attacks from obviously, the problem of liberating the occupied crimea can be solved considering that

the peninsula can always turn into an island , and we already have volodymyr yelchenko , a diplomat and a person who represented ukraine's interests at the united nations and the united states of america in 2015-2020, in contact -th years and earlier mr. volodymyr i congratulate you for the sake of seeing you on our air, we have already started with the joyful news from the crimean peninsula about the destruction of the anti-aircraft system, the triumph that was this night, the system that was struck, which is worth 1 billion 200 million dollars, and last night there was also good news with the waters of the black sea and my sevastopol ship repair plant, can this all be considered as the beginning of the deoccupation of crimea, the beginning that ukrainians talked about in 2022 in a low voice and maybe

even tried to take it beyond the scope of the agreement or beyond the framework agreements on security guarantees for ukraine, as it was in march 22, er, crimea was outside the framework of these guarantees, without any negotiation process at all. how do you assess the process of er deoccupation, which is starting? that is what is happening. this is exactly how we have heard about it for a long time, and our military said that the protest against the occupation of crimea will actually begin with strikes on the military infrastructure on the peninsula. well, of course, i am not a military expert, i cannot comment on this, but i am very happy that it has begun. and by the way, this is such a very good gift to our delegation led by president volodymyr zelensky, which is taking place a few days before new york for a general session, especially

because any success i wish you more than such a scale of the armed forces of ukraine, of course they are are very widely covered by the world mass media, that is, the whole world will see and hear about it, and it creates such a good background for those negotiations and meetings that our delegation and the president personally will have eh well, of course, there will also be an increase in military aid, i don't know will there be a separate meeting with president biden, but i think that one way or another. well , there were certain contacts with the americans in new york, of course there will be those public speeches and other things that are always included in the president's program when he is at a special un session

for us. so this is it , i repeat once again, it creates such good meat for uh for the successful work of our delegation today. the germans are still thinking about the taurus, and obviously they are thinking until the decision on the transfer of the same class of missiles to the attack force is adopted by the white house, although yesterday i read e-e on non -english-speaking resources about what seems to be already washington is close to handing over these long-range missiles. what do you think is holding back the biden administration in order to hand them over to the attacks and, let’s say, speed up the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine ? to guess that on the one hand, everything that works is so certain , well, too careful, on the american side, we

remember how the story was with tanks , airplanes and walls for bees and everything else, now it is already about such a, well, much more powerful and long-range weapons, but if we recall the statements of the same american factors, it was already several months, many months ago, about the fact that there was a question from journalists, is it possible to hit ukraine with such missiles on the territory of crimea? they said that crimea is the territory of ukraine. therefore, ukraine made its own decisions and has every right to take any military action in relation to crimea, so i think there are no red lines here, we are not fighting against the russian federation, although i would like to, but you know, of course, there are certain conditions, there are certain negotiating positions, and we

have to act in unison with our partners and allies. so, i think that after all, it will not be long before these media reports that i, like you, also saw i have no other information, but it shows practice, when such leaks of information appear , it means that well, the decision is here, yesterday, mr. vladimir, uh, kim jong-un and vladimir putin met in the far east, the leader of north korea came there in his armored train and pushed there a toast in honor vladimir putin and wanted him to win the war with ukraine, we have the reaction of matthew miller, the spokesman for the state department of the united states of america, who said that the united states of america is concerned about the deepening of military cooperation between russia and the dprk

. let's listen to what he said. we have not yet seen the full picture of this meeting and we do not know what its results will be, but when you see how kimshin-in promises to provide full unconditional support to the so-called sacred struggle of russia for the protection of its security interests, which is certainly not what it does in war against ukraine this is of course a cause for concern and there is also a small synchronicity where miller talks about how putin started the war and what he now wants from north korea, please, a year and a half ago , vladimir putin started this war to restore the glory of the russian empire, but all his maximalist and imperialist goals have collapsed and now a year and a half later, after losing tens of thousands of russian soldiers and spending billions and billions of dollars, he

is begging kim jong-un for help. here is evidence of what this war is like for russia. we remember putin's meeting with kimchinin, when putin collapsed in a chair and listened to talk about what, what, what he wanted, who did what. putin was a man who shook hands with the leaders of the whole world. now he has turned into an exile, that is, two exiles met in the far east. putin flew to kim chynin er to the far east and not kim chynin came to moscow in his armored train, doesn't this mean that putin is turning russia into north korea in this way, that is, but on a larger scale. that is, it is north korea only in

on a larger scale and maybe even a little more with a potential that one way or another will someday be curtailed, you know, you can google it and find my statements there five years ago, when i said exactly that , that russia is gradually turning into such a huge northern korea, well, the only thing is that this size makes russia much more dangerous than north korea . we have seen the last years of the decade , how many problems north korea brings to this world, and russia is capable of causing even more problems. she actually speaking and is doing, and it’s not only the war in ukraine , but on the other hand, you know, one of my diplomat acquaintances said that two odnochestvos met, you are correct in saying that if before how he went to pay his respects to putin in moscow, there is only st. petersburg himself, now in fact putin is going to pay his respects

in this way, allow yourself to fly seven or more time zones , more than that, as far as i understand . this vladivostok economic forum , so-called, was specially invented, where five and a half people sat in the hall, that is, not even russian taboranda i couldn't show a better picture. that is, all this was done so that putin wanted to be there in one way or another and was planning to be there. well, how else can he get there? so we'll see. well, i don't think that north korea is capable of significantly strengthening the military the potential of russia, so this country has a lot of weapons, but we don't have anything about that , well, again, i'm not a military person, but i've read a lot about it, and by the way, i was on this line of separation on the so-called 38th parallel once in there i already knew a little about this country there

the majority of weapons are, well, 49-50 samples there of the fifth 59th year there, that is, there are really millions of shells there, guns of this other one , but it's all there, i can imagine in what condition it lies there and was stored, so i don't think there's much there eh, these weapons can be used, they say that it is already about logistics. imagine how many echelons of the entire north korea have to be driven to the european part of russia in order to transfer these weapons into the hands of russian agents. everything else what russia needs most of all, it is clear that north korea will not give any of this. and i, by the way, well, i heard opinions that it could be such and such a gray zone, that is , they used north korea in order to transfer chinese weapons and chinese weapons to russia through north korea, but i don’t think that china will work for you because , first of all, all this is being monitored very carefully

and china will definitely fall under crazy sanctions, not among those that were introduced against china, if it directly started supplying russia with some serious weapons so that's all i think it will end with beautiful words, they will sign 28 moral ones about cooperation. well, you will go in some way to manage this strange country and further, and then he will return and continue to turn russia into a great north korea. you know , the last decisive step is to turn on the internet and then everything will go smoothly steps by the way, we have a fragment of russian television where russian propagandists deny it, they say that there was no conversation about weapons, let's hear what propagandist popov said, let's talk about gossip

of course, all the headlines are absolutely about who brought the shells here, well, what kind of shells are just not far away, our western colleagues. i think 100,000 north korean soldiers will be placed on the border. when you ask a member of the delegation about this , they simply laugh in response. they did not say a word to military technical cooperation. well , there are already defined restrictions. russia complies with all these restrictions, but there is a higher one, which we certainly can talk about , we discuss, we think about it, we do not know anything the last fragment is absolutely so eloquent, that is, even the gur spreads its hands and says well, i don’t know if we will win or not, let’s end this topic . did putin always want to have russia as north korea, that is, what kind of example because

what he is doing is in principle well, this is not china , this is north korea, typical, you know, maybe the main souls, because, you know, that is total control, not even by the state, but actually by one person over the country. this is probably well, putin had such a mysterious dream. well, it is possible since the days of the kdb schools there, because well, if he misses the collapse of the soviet union and thinks that no one has done more for this country than joseph stalin, then of course everything must be done as north korea because this is exactly what happened in the soviet union in the last years and the victims are the same concentration camps, but in fact, look at the difference in how they live in north korea and

south korea, they are one people and why they are not one people. as putin says, ukrainians and russians it's really one nation that way well, what can one crazy dictator do to the country, who then passed it on to one son, then to his grandson, and so on ? well, putin probably won’t have such an opportunity , well, but i think that this dream remains with him somewhere, that is, for the times that he considers his there are still people left to live there, and in others he is probably going to live for many more years, but you know, age will take its toll , but during these times, can he not do a lot of damage, first of all, to his own country, and to be honest, this is already happening there and which i started against ukraine, she has already rejected russia many decades ago, it wasn't even soviet

times, well, maybe we still have to talk about the fact that there is no internet in russia anymore, that is, it will be complete orwell's 1984 , that's it. thank you, mr. volodymyr, for this optimistic note about russia, and we will finish the conversation. it was volodymyr yevchenko, a diplomat, a former representative of ukraine to the reorganization of the united nations and a former ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america, friends, we are working live and conducting a poll today on youtube. today we are asking you about whether ukraine needs diplomatic relations with belarus right now, yes, no, and your option . please write in the comments below, we are in touch. olesya yakhno, a political expert, mrs. olesya. a topic that is inside the country, not outside, inside is about corruption, because a lot has been said about corruption this week, and today the anti-corruption court above

arrested the former minister of health stepanov in absentia, he is suspected of involvement in corruption scheme what was the truth, as it were, before the transition to the ministerial seat 450 million uah violation during the reign of the state-owned enterprise printing office ukraine stepanov himself says that this is political persecution that such a thing cannot happen and that it is yarmak and zelenskyy that he owes him something well , i don't know, i guess because we know that stepanov was one of those people who actually accompanied this entire epidemic , we remember the lack of masks and b- these planes that flew brought medicines for ukrainians watching what is happening now in the presidential team and all those stories, endless stories that pass from week to week and some more stories are added. what

can you say or if you would rather answer the sociological survey that was so actively commented on by opinion leaders and the office of the president of ukraine advisors about whether president zelensky is responsible for corruption in the country, first of all, we see these on the topic , and both inside the country and from outside . that is, we see that there are changes in the government is also served with suspicion and this does not only apply to officials . and we know that the case of kolomoisky was also served with suspicion, and i think that what it is, well, if such an activation is happening not just like that, but for certain reasons, it is connected with - the first is that it is really a long war

that needs constant support of ukraine and, moreover , additional help if we want it to be more than just help, and for it to be help necessary for our victory, then this causes certain discussions, especially if there is the pre-election period in certain countries. for example, in the united states, it is already obvious that in the pre-election campaign the topic of additional aid and the extent of monitoring of this aid will definitely be used. there are statements from various western leaders that draw attention to the fact that it is very important for ukraine not to give reasons for doubting the provision of such assistance means corruption reasons, and when inside these countries the societies understand that this is part of the funds that could have been wasted inside

of these states and when the war continues for a long time, well, there is still a certain fatigue and there are internal political and economic contexts of these states after all. it is important that ukraine does not give such ghosts for corruption for doubts about the need to provide such assistance, so it is good that before that attention is drawn. it is good that there is a reaction inside ukraine and, er, that attention is drawn in the form of opinion polls directly to the personality of the president and to the responsibility of the government. this is also correct because there is a war where there is a certain centralization of power, if we can say so, if we are talking about military administrations, and there are realities of the 19th year, when, in fact , one political force or team led almost all branches of government .

most of the responsibility still lies with the authorities, but well, i repeat that now attention is drawn to this because in the context of the elections that will be held next year in many countries, as well as in the context of the growth of these far-right and far-left political forces within european countries which are precisely the acts that use the topic of the correctness of conducting an economic course by the authorities of e-e countries, that is, they are not not for putin and not for russia, they do not say this so openly, but they, in the style of orban, they begin to question the sanctions there, they say that it is not known whether this aid will solve the war in general and so on. therefore, it is possible not to give, i repeat, another reason in ukraine to question it, and in addition, there is another component - this is our movement towards the european union. there are certain requirements that

are stipulated by the candidacy for membership of the european union and these requirements still provide for transformation within ukraine, structural reforms, not only the strengthening of the front, but also because if we want to have a result here, if we want the next report to record positive changes, then here you can’t this can happen without overcoming the corruption risks and without strengthening the institution, and if so , to sum it up, the war is long, after all, it requires equal development, as well as the strengthening of both this military defense and the front. and solving problems in the rear, because if we want to win for a long time, then we must be strong from the inside, that's why i think that

's what attracts attention, well, the power or the monomajority requires monoresponsibility , you have to say yes, because here it's very simple if you own the whole situation in the state, one way or another you are responsible for everything, because as they said in the 19th year, how many more than 200 deputies went to the verkhovna rada with one passport, volodymyr, that's why, in principle, i don't understand why it's so stormy going stormy discussion about the responsibility of the president because, well, how can it be in a state where you control all branches of government and manage all branches of government. did you mention, did you mention ms. lesya, about the next elections that will be held in 2024? zelenskyi recently gave an interview and spoke about the fact that in the conditions that are developing in ukraine, he will not be able to leave ukraine. if suddenly the elections will be held in

the 24th year and he will run again for
