welcome to the broadcast of ukraine. dzaferov works in the studio in london, today in the program we talk about how, for the first time in the history of the united states, the dismissal of the speaker can affect support for ukraine. political chaos in the united states for the first time in the history of the radical wing of the republican party. removed from the post of the speaker of the house of representatives his fellow party member kevvin makartsy, what will happen next and how will it affect ukraine. the house of representatives of the us congress voted for the resignation of the republican speaker kevin mccarthy. this is the first time in history that the house has removed its own the speaker from office before stepping down to

the speakership of the house is second in line for the presidency and the resignation will likely throw the house into chaos until the next speaker is elected. this is how it all happened. for 216 against 210. for the first time in history. the position of speaker of the chamber is declared vacant. the speaker of the house of representatives was dismissed. i have no regrets. about my efforts to build a coalition and find solutions, i was trained to solve problems, not create them, so i may have lost today in the vote, but when i walk out of this room, i feel blessed to have served the american people, and i leave the office of speaker with a sense of pride in my accomplishments and so much optimism. kevin mccarthy was removed by his fellow party members, supporters of tough politics. they are unhappy with his backroom deal with the democrats. agreement on the temporary budget. that was signed on saturday

effectively prevented a shutdown of the us government, but here is the man who initiated the firing of mccarthy. speaker mccarthy blocked the conservative agenda. our control over the actions of the government was weak. our spending priorities are not were taken into account. the upper bar of the budget would lead to higher inflation, higher debt and new problems. so the best way to advance the conservative agenda is to move forward. matt gates is a close associate of the former president. and donald trump. he, along with a small group of republicans from the radical right wing of the party, want to tighten border controls and limit future funding to ukraine. they also spoke against the previous funding package, according to which president zelskyi 6 billion dollars should be allocated in mid-november. and when there were a few minutes left before midnight, that is, before the government shutdown that threatened the united states, mccarthy turned to the democrats. they supported him,

but on the condition that he would introduce a separate bill on financing ukraine in a few days, but mccarthy left, and with him his promise. so what happened was, for the first time in history, the us house of representatives removed its leader, speaker of the house kevin mccarthy. representatives of his republican party also voted against him. eight members of the chamber republicans voted. for removing the speaker. the voting procedure was initiated by matt gates, a republican from the right wing of the party. he and other republicans were outraged by the mccarthy deal with the democrats, which made it possible to avoid a shutdown. he also accused mccarthy of allegedly entering into a secret agreement with biden regarding the funding package for ukraine. the duties of the temporary speaker were taken over by patrick mchenry, who was one of the deputies of the ousted makartsy.

one thing is obvious - the work of the legislative body is blocked. and in a minute we'll talk about what the paralysis of the us power circles will mean for ukraine and when to expect the next package of american aid, first, here is the assessment of this unprecedented situation by the former american secretary of defense, robert gates. i think it will have very negative consequences. in fact, it puts. doubt about the stability of the american commitment, whether we are ready to support ukraine in the long term, but more broadly, whether the government can, whether we can do something as simple as passing a budget, it raises question. i think this is a signal that it will be very difficult for ukraine to get additional aid, and again the question is whether the united states can be counted on to fulfill its obligations. the president says that he will support ukraine as long as necessary. but for that congress

needs more funding right now. i think that we will see significant efforts aimed at allocating money for ukraine. no matter what the next ones are. whether congress will take further action, but i have heard some republican senators say that it is likely there is another big aid commitment to ukraine and they don't want to be part of it, even those who support ukraine don't want to go through this legislative battle every quarter, but the possibility of another big aid package is very real and i think the chances for its adoption are quite high, but the question is whether it will happen next year, more about how events will unfold in the usa, and how the current crisis in the congress will hit ukraine washington, ukrainian correspondent yuliya yarmolenko, editor of voice of america, and

valery klochok, an expert of the public analytics center in kyiv, welcome you, here the first question will be to my colleague in washington, yulia, what to expect next? unprecedented events, the resignation of the speaker, the house of representatives is blocked, how will this chaos in power affect the continued support of ukraine? greetings, jefer, of course this situation will affect the continuation of support for ukraine, in such a way that, firstly, it can delay the vote itself and will delay the vote on this very additional funding that the white house requested earlier, we know that the house is now in recess at least until wednesday, on wednesday they are going to vote on a new speaker of the house, from the experience of the previous vote when kevin mcarthy was actually elected, we know it took a few days to approve his nomination and 15 rounds of voting, so definitely

the number one task for the house of representatives is to elect a speaker, after that it will be clear, depending on who will be the speaker, what priorities he will set for himself, from this it will also depend on how and at what pace they will approve the aid for ukraine that the white house has invited. now we know that there are several names being floated who could be potential next speakers, there are candidates who openly spoke in support of ukraine, also voted for all key bills in support of ukraine, but there are also those who are critical of the continuation of aid to ukraine. such names are also heard, for example, as donald trump, some republicans want that maybe he ran for the position of speaker the house of representatives, well, but regarding more realistic options, of course, there are different positions , president biden was just asked in the white house if he is worried that because of the chaos in the house of representatives and in the congress, he may not fulfill his

promise to help ukraine , and he just said that he's certainly concerned about the situation, but he said that he's heard many times from the majority in the house of representatives and the senate and the ... republicans and democrats saying they support aid to ukraine, and i spoke with by a number of experts who said that, of course, all this delays the process of approving new aid for ukraine, but they believe that ukraine now has enough support from both republicans and democrats in the house of representatives and certainly in the senate, so that will approve this additional funding, albeit with a delay, and the next question for valery, valery, us support for ukraine is vitally important, here i am... how does such power paralysis in washington look from kyiv, what does all this threaten? well, to a certain extent, of course we are here we are concerned about the current situation in washington and the appointment of the future speaker, we will follow these events and follow them very closely. however, i would like to make a few very important

points for understanding the situation, what we are talking about in ukraine and we understand that the us aid is not unlimited, but it was too much even now. the task of the united states of america is not only to continue to provide such insanely large aid, but also to connect our partners in western europe, these are the countries of the european union, to this process of course, great britain, which has always supported us, however, as regards the position of the european union , today it is quite clear, a new budget worth more than about 50 billion euros until 2027 was adopted just a few days ago, in addition, production processes are actively being launched in ukraine weapons with the help of western partners from europe and the united states of america, by the end of the year we will have a joint production of air defense systems, which we will do jointly with the united states, this all indicates that the white house was preparing for such scenario, and of course we

had reservations about it, but we were also preparing, and our partners in europe understood that such a political crisis could be precisely in the us congress, however, i personally see it as quite interesting. history, when almost all the democrats voted for mccarthy's resignation, the republicans initiated this issue, but the vote took place thanks to the votes of the democrats, and further significance, it may even help us in the matter of further cooperation with the united states of america, but we understand, and they understand and united states america, that further aid to ukraine cannot come only from the white house , it can only come from yours , western partners in europe should also join the process of helping ukraine, and they are very actively demonstrating this today, there are certainly a number of political problems and in the european union, such as the last elections in slovakia, however... this is not a catastrophe for us, we understand where we are, today the foreign policy

department of ukraine is actively working in this sense, and this cooperation with america, and with the european union, with the great britain, it is bilateral, there is a mutual understanding of the need to help ukraine. in this part, i would simply quote the words, thank you for this opportunity, of the newly appointed british defense secretary, grand sheps, who spoke of putin as not a cancer, so that he would believe that the internal disputes in the west are a sign that the support ukraine is beginning to weaken, no, it is not weaker, and i will tell you frankly, my observations indicate that aid, on the contrary, is becoming more stable, however, a greater role in this aid is beginning win the european union and ukraine itself. yes, but american aid is still more important, and yulia, you mentioned biden's statement that both republicans and democrats under... ukraine in the war unleashed by russia, but still the radical wing of the republicans achieved his own, actually to

the detriment of himself and ukraine. how great is the threat that such an internal political split will deepen and even more intensify the fatigue from supporting ukraine in this war. you know, now a lot is said about the fact that a lot remains unknown, because it is necessary wait until the house reconvenes and begins its vote, but there are a few important points, first, as you said, this group of republicans, the right wing, is pretty radical, it's a small group of republicans, and as john kirby, the council representative said the other day us national security, they do not represent the general opinion of their party, nor the general opinion of the leadership in the house of representatives. for the moment, yes, now there are more voices from republicans who indicate a certain weariness with the situation, in that from what they say, maybe it is necessary to suspend some dopo ukraine there are more such voices, but experts here in washington ask to pay attention to the fact that

the internal situation in the united states itself is difficult right now, on the eve of the 2024 elections , and there is a very large the difference between the fact that a number of legislators speak publicly and perhaps very violently criticize aid to ukraine, and what they say privately, and privately, nevertheless, the vast majority, they understand the importance of continuing to support ukraine and, as experts say with whom i spoke today, after all, if aid for ukraine is put to the vote, they will still vote to support ukraine in the future. thank you, valery, the question for you, that is, on the one hand, it is a question of the internal policy of the united states, but what can be advised to the ukrainian authorities, that is , how to build relations with the united states in conditions when that country is increasingly delving into internal political issues. well, i think we are doing a lot in that sense, i just wish we would heed those recommendations

given to us by the government of the united states of america in the matter of internal changes in the situation in ukraine and improvement of the current legislation in matters related to institutional reforms, issues of fighting corruption in ukraine , etc. with regard to ukraine, it is quite clear, it remains unchanged, the representative office in ukraine helps us in this regard, so i personally do not see any very global threats here, the only thing i would like is for the process of supporting ukraine to be involved in the same measure, and this is demonstrated by the european union today, spoke about it, as well as the usa and the eu, because it is very, very important for us that this support is general. thank you, it was the correspondent yulia yaromolenko of the ukrainian voice of sameryka editorial office and valery klochok, an expert of the public analytics center, who are in touch with us. and that's all for today, look for more stories on our bbc.ua website and on

marathon with vitaly portnikov, every sunday at 20:10 at espresso. my greetings, you are watching svoboda live, my name is daria kudimova and more about the main thing, as of the evening of wednesday, october 4. the successes of the armed forces of ukraine under the command of zaporozhye and the special operation gur in crimea, what is happening on the front line and what it means for the deterioration of the combat capabilities of the russian federation in the orichiv direction, as well as why western politicians talked about the almost exhausted capabilities of ukraine's military power and what to do about it ? ukraine can join the eu in 2030. negotiations about this will begin before the end of this year. what do the statements of the top officials of the european union mean, what are the conditions put forward by kyiv, and what will convince the countries that oppose ukraine's membership in the eu. and also what the first ever resignation

of the speaker of the american congress means, and how it will affect the military support of ukraine by the states. almost 10 years later, the fbi has completed the investigation into the execution of the participants of the revolution of dignity in february 2014. who has been charged and what are the chances that those involved will end up on the dock? the armed forces continue to advance on melitopol and bakhmut directions. in particular, the military has partial success in the districts of klishchiivka and anandriivka, which are not far from bakhmut. and also in the regions to the west of the working zaporizhzhya region. the general staff reports this on its facebook page. at the same time, specialists of the institute for the study of war write that the combat capabilities of russian units. which are constantly fighting in the orihiv direction in zaporizhzhia, have significantly worsened. they can no longer carry out all counterattacks and oppose the ukrainian one breakthrough thus, among other things, analysts point

to the meeting of russian defense minister shoigu, who noted, literally, a strange group of russian armed formations operating in the western direction of the zaporizhzhia region. it is about the fact that shoigu did not name those units that are usually credited with receiving the line of recruits. on the contrary, he mentioned those who, despite their supposed degraded state, continue to carry out orders for continuous attacks. thus, analysts summarize, the russian military command of the russian federation is trying to achieve political goals. oleksandr shtupun, the spokesman of the joint press center of the defense forces of the tavri region, joins our broadcast. mr. oleksandr, my greetings. good evening good evening. please tell me what the situation is like in the taurian direction, where. are attacking the most, we had partial success in the areas west of the working area, in certain

directions, advanced from 100 to 600 meters, the enemy does not stop trying to resist, so in general in the taurian direction during the past day, he struck the 21st aviation blow also conducted 26 combat engagements and carried out 732 artillery barrages. and what about novoprokopivka, why are they clarifying, because there are a lot of videos on the internet right now from this particular settlement, where fierce battles are taking place. can you clarify something, why it is about nova prokopivka that people are wondering about so often? well, i can't, say, comment on the network, because everyone there knows more, always, as they say, that's it. combat operations are ongoing, our guys are constantly engaged in combat work, counter-battery fighting, entrenchment, i.e.

we are working, when there are positive results, we will definitely inform, and mr. oleksandr, according to reuters, in key areas of the front, this is exactly what zaporizhzhia is, of course, the south, in general, russian troops have included these storm units in the composition of regular russian units, well, before. talked about the fact that the composition of these units includes convicts, civilians and military, who violated discipline, or on the battlefield, these z storms differ in tactics and how well equipped are they in general, how are they used? well, this, this, this is the light infantry, the light infantry which, in general, rushes to assaults, that is, the enemy, let's say, leads. fresh ones who don't quite know where they have gone yet, he throws them forward, thereby saving, well, the personnel

soldiers, who with more combat experience he protects, but with these, let's say, meat assaults, he tries, well, so that we use up ammunition , there to break the spirit of our soldiers, but our military is grinding. everything, well , they work, that is, storm z is not only here, it is fixed everywhere, almost anywhere any unit, be it over there, airborne troops or russian motorized riflemen, there is a unit nearby, or somewhere in the ranks, those stormtroopers or just a curtain, huh, i also wanted to ask you to comment on the report of british intelligence, here they say: about the fact that under the tokmak, the russian invaders could most likely shoot down their su-35, what do you know about it, can you confirm or

deny? well, unfortunately, uh, let's say, what russia does with its planes is not our competence, but we are glad, because any the russian plane either crashed, er, unfortunately, er, the personnel of the osovtavry has no relation to these, er, to this event, but we try to shoot down russian helicopters, russian planes at the least possible opportunity. i am talking about whether the very fact of the downing of the su-35 over takmak was, do you know, this is a question for intelligence, so with... i understand, good, mr. oleksandr, and we heard statements, the other day a lot from ukrainian officials, military, western analysts, that the russian federation is being taken to

mariupol, to the crimea, as well as concrete ukries. and air defense is still being actively charged to simferopol. how quickly, according to your data , do the occupiers there manage to build defenses, and in fact, what else is known about how they are preparing for the approach of the armed forces? well, they are digging everywhere, they are strengthening, they are not going to just give up the temporarily occupied territories, no, not zaporizhia region , not kherson region, not donetsk, not luhansk, not crimea, that is, they resist, they continue to dig in and new positions are being built in tokmak, and in the crimea, and in other areas of the front, so if, well, everyone expects that something will happen, someone will run somewhere, but at this stage, nothing is visible, that is, the enemy is resisting, fighting

for every square kilometer of our... ukrainian land, does not want to give it up, and can we talk about some special preparation for the so-called dirty season before the cold weather, well, we will not reveal our tactics, but the tactics will change, that is clear, uh , firstly, the leaves will fall, secondly, there will be rains, that is, we are conducting appropriate preparations, changing tactics mosk ... we change, let's say, well and we will have to move more actively, however, just like the enemy, because the drones , which conduct reconnaissance all the time, will see more, heard, mr. oleksandr, thank you very much for taking the time and opportunity to join the broadcast, oleksandr shtupun, spokesman for the united of the press center of the defense forces of the tavri direction was in direct contact with us, thank you. well, the russian military

is resorting to elastic defense tactics during the ukrainian offensive, the new york times writes about this, citing security experts, ukrainian officials, military experts. it is about the occupiers surrendering positions, but then striking back, i.e. retreating to the second line of positions, forcing the ukrainian military to advance, and then, when the defense forces become vulnerable, counterattacking, either while moving through open terrain, or when they approach the long-abandoned russian positions. it is this tactic that has been called elastic defense, and it is, according to experts, literally one of the most difficult obstacles for ukrainian troops. meanwhile , the national security council of the united states says that offensive operations for the armed forces on the front line in ukraine are possible for no more than a month and a half. we want to make sure

there aren't any. delays in helping ukraine, that we can continue this consistent process of providing support to them, especially as we go into the fall and the counteroffensive continues, there are still about six or eight weeks of good fighting weather, and we want to make sure that the ukrainians can succeed. gur published footage of ukrainian special forces landing on the occupied crimean peninsula. according to the intelligence reports refer to the work of the stugna battalions and the brotherhood as part of the timur special unit. as the representative of gur, andriy yusov, reported later, it was a sabotage-reconnaissance operation, and there was a fierce battle as part of the landing in crimea. according to yusov, the ukrainian group has already returned, but the special forces have suffered losses. at the same time, yusov emphasized, ukrainian losses are not commensurate with russian losses. i will remind you that in the morning in the russian ministry of defense said that in

the north-western part of the black sea water area, the attempt to penetrate into crimea by the landing group of the air force was allegedly stopped. a few hours later, gur confirmed the landing in crimea, and during the operation, special forces inflicted fire damage on the russian occupiers. it is worth noting that at the end of august, the russian federation was also informed about the drg in the mysu-tarkhankut area in crimea. at that time, ukrainian intelligence spoke of at least three dozen destroyed occupiers and four damaged high-speed vehicles. boats russian oleksandr mosienko, head of the center for military and legal research, joins our broadcast. mr. alexander. congratulations. good evening. good evening, i greet you. let's go straight to the report from the general directorate of intelligence about the landing on the territory of crimea, and the losses from such an operation have been confirmed. the fsb insists that it was captured.
