thoughts after the program, so my next guest is oleksandr kraev, expert of the foreign policy council, ukrainian prism. mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you and glory to ukraine. glory to the hero, i congratulate you. mr. oleksandr, well, let's talk about the shutdown, about the american shutdown. as for me personally, you know, i am calling you in order to talk about everything in detail, because you know much more than i do, i read something, i know. but i want to ask you, from what i read, for example, about the shutdowns last year, there were a few years ago, there was excitement, there was some unrest, and what will happen, i i remember, you and i talked about this on the air last year, and last year you also said that they would sit down to the end, drag it out to the last, sit down at the end, and come to an agreement, but this year i got the impression that well, this year it looks somehow more serious, what do you say, this year is really more serious and there are a lot of reasons for that, well, first

of all, we see that we have formed, i wouldn’t even want to say a group, a certain clique of trumpists who are trying to disrupt the work of the government, the work of the parliament for only one simple reason: theirs the leader, their idol, they are trying to persecute, and we see that, unfortunately, they are succeeding so far, because just last year before the election, when they still managed to avoid the same shutdown adequate, before the election, we did not have kevin mccarthy, we we have not yet had a speaker who... is controlled by the trumpists, we have not yet had such a difficult situation with internal fragmentation in both parties, which appeared just before the elections, that is , a lot of factors coincided, which gave the opportunity to this active, aggressive anti-ukrainian minority to to be certain to express their opinion and coordinate the work of the american parliament, and that is why we now have such a situation, from which , as we see, both the democrats and an adequate part of the republicans and the white house had to come out with certain concessions, with certain concessions with

these anti-ukrainian radicals, well , look, in they now have a temporary budget, they agreed in 45, well, not 45 days, less, 42 days, probably, in 42 days they will face this problem again, the question of the budget of the united states of america for the next year, this is your vision, father from what , what could happen in that time, in fact, now from the information that we have , they've been able to come to an agreement, that is, the white... the house and an adequate portion of the congress have been able to come to an agreement with the republicans who were against this budget, that in this interim budget, the aid for ukraine for 6 billion, in exchange for the fact that they will vote almost unchanged for the aid that will be in the main budget, that is, conditionally they exchanged our larger budget in exchange for concessions to the trumpists, and what will the situation be in the future, in principle, for those congressmen, which joined the trumpists, for those who doubted that ukraine should be enlarged. aid, or to give it in

the interim budget, well, their requests were fulfilled, there is no such aid in the interim budget, it is taken out of the military budget in a separate bill, and accordingly, nothing will interfere. them to vote adequately for the full budget for the 24th year, if we talk about trumpists, yes, they will argue, they will try to restrain this vote, they will try to break the cards and break this whole situation for everyone others, but they will no longer have the support of the half of the party, the half of the house of representatives that was there before , that is, they managed to reach an agreement with an adequate part of the opposition, the inadequate component will simply not have enough votes, unfortunately, they still have the opportunity to pressure the speaker, on kevin mccarthy, because in essence he owes them his position, and he depends on their votes, but now they have much less leverage for pressure, that is, this agreement that the congress and the white house entered into with the opposition, it is not in principle gives

trumpists, trumpists have a normal chance to continue this resistance in the future, they simply will not have support, look, i cannot understand the position of this pro-trump minority. who is pressing, who, we can now say, conducts this entire orchestra of budget adoption, please tell me , and what, well, what reason was there to argue about transferring aid to ukraine from the country's budget to a separate article, what does it change, anyway then there will be help for ukraine, of course there will be, but you understand, at this stage the trumpists need it to show strength, that is, there are far fewer of them than conservatives in the republican party. compared to the entire number of congressmen in the us parliament, they are generally tiny, there are very few of them, but they need to show their strength, they need to show that they can still influence politics, they need to show that they can stand up for trump's ideas, that they can to stand up for trump and

what they can provoke, a shutdown, they can provoke a shutdown of all government work, and why should they, well, first of all, in this way they can attract donors to their side, they can say that it is still possible to invest in them, because they actually influence politics, they can attract voters to their side, because they can allegedly push through some decisions, they can again influence the congress, for them it is absolutely a political game, it's just that ukraine became one of those tools that they were able to use, because it must be said right away that there were other issues besides ukraine, there was the issue of the legalization of abortion and the allocation of money from the military budget so that it was part of medicine, health insurance for military personnel, there was a question about redirecting money to the southern border, and protecting the southern border, and by the way, this was the main argument why we have to pay some ukraine for 5000 miles, and at the same time we cannot hold our own border, that is, trumpists

singled out a whole series of such tools with which they can put pressure on the parliament, and for them this is a purely political story, it is not a question of ideology or a question of any specific goals, they had to show strength , it seems to me that it is not easy...' pressure on parliament, and this is some kind of blackmail of the parliament from the fact that it turns out like this, well, in fact, it is , it is straightforward and very rude, i would say blackmail, that we are ready to destroy the system of government just so that you listen to us, well, this strange, of course, but let's now say a few words about leland, today it ends, i wanted to say the expiration date, not the expiration date, well , the expiration date, let's say, let's call it that, the expiration date, please tell me, what will happen next, what can to be, because he, you once told me that this is such a stick of salvation for trump, i'm sorry, not for trump, but for joe biden, in case the congress does not approve the aid to ukraine, he did not use it at all during all this time, now it will not be, well, in fact, right now

there is no need for it, well, because we are already fighting for the budget, that is, to begin with, we need to knock out the budget, which , if anything, can be used with this lendlease, well, you see, we have laid out how this political weighing, political bargaining is happening now in america, and this one time to throw another idea in there, and let us in ukraine sign a lease, well, this means putting our budget under attack, it means starting again with the trumpists, these long negotiations that may not end in anything good, so for now the democrats and the majority of the republican party, they decided to postpone this issue, just first pass the budget, first carry out the main procedures, and then take... the lendlease issue, that is, in fact, on it , precisely what is most interesting, there are no such strong contradictions, but it is clear to everyone that well trumpists do not need real contradictions in order to create a problem out of something, and therefore, for now, congressmen simply do not risk this bill, so as not to lose it before time, well, i understand, this

lendlis can become such a red rag in the eyes of the pro-trump majority and therefore it is better not to wave it now, i will cut you well. i understood you well, look, in one, in one of your posts in the telegram, you voiced this opinion, well, quite recently, trump wants to ... become a dictator, what did you have on mind you, ah, he, he was cornered, more precisely, and that's why he's starting to defend himself, for him , defense is escalation, it's political escalation, well, remember trump in the year 21, when there was an assault on the capitol on january 6, now the details are already being revealed, his communication with security, his communication with advisers , he wanted to introduce martial law, he wanted to bring troops into the street to restrain people, he wanted to declare a presidential... republic, he wanted to give himself full powers of the judiciary ,

he wanted to disperse the supreme court as, as he said, an anti-present, anti-trump structure, and then he saw that there were about 10-15, unfortunately, at the moment, almost 25% of the nuclear trump electorate, who would be ready to support him and come out with guns in hands, to defend him, and he goes back to those theses , he recently said that because mark miley was negotiating with china, during this big protest of his, he should be... should be executed, and he said that he signed such a decree on the execution of mark milli. he also said that, in principle, the state does not need any independent press, continuing his thesis that all information, all news can be taken directly from the president, well , you remember how many tweets, how many speeches he made, that is, trump actually suffers from these dictatorial diseases, he suffers from the desire to be like putin, no matter how strange it sounds, because in his eyes, in the eyes of a political dilettante... dictatorship is the simplest system, you alone decide, you order everyone, you so cool, good, and no one can judge you, and

trump would prefer to see such a united states under his leadership, he would prefer to work in such an almost putin system, because it is very simple for him, but is it possible, given such a serious system of checks and balances in american legislation? in fact, it is impossible, in fact, the system has done everything in its power to restrain trump, that is, no one forbids... to dream, no one can cancel what he can think about any system, about any dictatorship, but in we have a ministry of defense, we have intelligence agencies services, after all, we have congress and the supreme court, they really have all the years of trump's presidency and right now they are holding him back, and his henchmen are holding him back from actually implementing such a system terribly, but still, these very trends that we still have a few percent of people in american society who consider trump the savior of the homeland. who consider his truth in the last resort, well , this is still a problem, we still have to

understand that trump created this cult of personality and he created a ticking time bomb action for american society. let's close the topic of trump for now, i just remembered that i read this morning that trump is scheduled to appear before a judge in new york today, us time, east coast time, for one of the criminal cases that are about he was launched, please tell me, he continues to use these criminal cases in full, here he immediately declared that i will, because i want to be there, to prove that i am not guilty, he continues to use it as some kind of i am not i know, the circus is for his own benefit, he is trying, and what is interesting, we see that just a few days after his case, his rating increases a little, he still creates this image of a political martyr, he creates an image of himself, suffering... for the truth, but in a strategic perspective, it harms him, after all, the trials are not

held for nothing, this is not a showy courtroom, in fact, pre-trial investigations have been going on for more than a year, evidence is being collected, there was work of special commissions, congress for in order to to determine his guilt, there was work with witnesses, with everyone else, and in fact, each subsequent case adds less and less bonuses to him, and vice versa, his anti-rating is growing against this background. simply by geometric progression, that is, we know that more than half of his support will fall away from him as soon as he is handed the first sentence, well , the first sentence in a political case, so actually temporarily, so he has some informational success, but on a strategic level, well, these cases will eventually bury him politically, if you say look, i was already thinking of finishing with trump, but you made an interesting point , more than half of the people who support him will fall away, if more than half of the people who support him fall away, everything... the republican party should understand that this person, well, it's not worth it

, to nominate god as the only candidate from his own party, in the presidential elections, and they understand it, they understand it perfectly, but they do not have the ultimate responsibility for it, after all, the decision about who the party will nominate will be made by ordinary voters, not even a collegium voters, it will be taken during the primaries, and other candidates in the republican party, as the previous debates showed, they finally got the courage from somewhere to speak out against trump. they can finally officially declare that yes, he is toxic, he is not useful for the party, he is dangerous for the party, but this should all be decided , of course. a republican voter, and this is a big problem for the party, because it is easy to convince the establishment, these people understand what is going on, but where are they to convince ordinary americans in time, here is the main mystery, well, let's see, yes, now for sure, we finish with trump, although it is always interesting to talk about him with you, look, today the ministers

of foreign affairs of the member states of the european union came to kyiv, it is obvious that on the one hand, it is important for us, well, it is demonstrably important, but what could be the practical consequences of this meeting in kyiv, in ukraine in particular? well, first of all, let's not forget, we still have the issue with grain, the issue with with the poles, with the slovaks, with the romanians, with the hungarians, and the fact that they are meeting here simply means that they take rather our side in this conflict, or at least the european commission of susu... has its members, suave foreign ministers to the point that we have to look at it from the ukrainian point of view, so we can hope that the question of the grain, land grain corridor will be one of the key ones, and it is here that we will be able to see some progress in its solution, some progress , at least in the fact that we let's agree until what moment

these countries will keep their bans there, and then resume transit, this is firstly, secondly, this is a very demonstrative aspect, because it was planned until the end of the year, as a minimum...' to set deadlines when the negotiations on the accession of ukraine to the eu, that is, when we will finally start to fully use our candidacy, and therefore the fact that this is happening in kyiv, from the point of view of classical diplomacy , can be perceived as a very positive signal, that is, it will not just be somewhere there from brussels they will tell us, but you didn't finish, you didn't do it, everything will be bad for you, right in kyiv we will work out a plan, how it will happen, when , in what terms and under what conditions, that is, the choice of kyiv as the place to hold this meeting now is very... for ukraine, an indicator that there is, well european structures are ready to take our side and push their participants, members of the association, who are against ukraine in certain aspects, to pro-ukrainian decisions. it's interesting, well, let's keep an eye on how it all ends today, well , obviously, the results will be, at least after lunch, although already after lunch, but

i did not see the results as such. let 's listen to one short direct speech of the prime minister of estonia. kai kalas, what she said last week in tallinn, then a question for you. we all want this war to end, but it must end in a way that breaks the historic cycle of russian violence. any indecision fuels putin's imperial ambitions, and the longer we wait and hesitate, the higher the price of war will be. president of ukraine zelensky very precisely put everything in its place. if our partners won't help us, they will help defeat russia, everything is simple here. to break the historical cycle of russian violence. it is understood in poland, it is understood in the baltic countries, it is not so understood, recently, in particular, further west. do you think the civilized world will be able

to break this cycle, given the growing negative sentiment? i really hope so, at least several important narratives point us to this. well, first of all, the main ukrainian skepticism, the main anti-ukrainian theses are heard in countries where elections are held. that is, they are not a certain narrative, they are part of the pre-election cycle, they are part of pre -election politics, which we could not simply avoid, and you and i knew, we were preparing for it, we understood that such statements would be, would be so aggressive in for some reason, ukrainian-skeptical anti-ukrainian rhetoric. they could not get away with this, because this is part of the democratic processes in these states, in other states, in which the political situation is more or less stable for the next year and a half, we see a completely different picture, we see that the french are much more determined to help us, the last visit of the minister of defense showed this perfectly , we see that in germany the whole of germany has already rallied against olaf scholz, trying to convince him to supply ukraine more and

finally give ukraine taurus, that is , we see that at the strategic and international level, the course taken is very correct, yes, we have those who doubt, we have those countries that are still experiencing a misunderstanding of ukraine, a misunderstanding of the consequences of this war, but the vast majority of them are already recovering from this skepticism, and the main problems come from those countries where we have elections, well, these countries, they are fluid, these these problems, or rather, they are fluid, that is, as soon as the elections in the same conditional poland are over, believe me, negotiations will be held even before grains will become much more constructive, well, i really... hope so, mr. alexander, as always, thank you very much for participating in the world at war program. oleksandr kraev, an expert of the ukrainian prism foreign policy council, we talked with him about the western this will summarize today's program , i really hope that you answered the question that i asked you at the beginning

of the program in the comments on youtube, the results of the elections in slovakia indicate a decrease in interest in ukraine, increasing influence of russia, or your option, your answers, if there are, i'll read them right after i finish this program, well, i'll wrap up today's on that for lack of time. program, we will meet as usual next monday, there will be new guests, there will be new topics, but there will be interesting as always, see you soon. bookform culture and literature festival is back. live in lviv, online in the world, foreign and ukrainian authors: book fair, discussions that change the future, new location in the city center, powder tower on pidvalnaya street. october 4:8. come, the entrance
