with us, part of the long-range atapak missiles equipped with ammunition cartridges is ready to be transferred to ukraine by the us department of defense, as soon as president joe biden approves their transfer. this was announced by the assistant secretary of defense for procurement, duck bush. according to the official, the usa has already decided which atakams missiles ukraine will receive. he stated that the army has long been ready for their transfer and is ready to act quickly there. let's discuss the prospects for ukraine's acquisition of missile attacks and the terms with ihor chelenka, head of the center for analysis and strategy, igor, congratulations, congratulations, here now, as noted in the united states of america, everything depends on the decision of the president of the united states, george bush, joseph biden, i apologize, and i wonder what biden will take into account, accepting what do you think is the solution? well, of course.

first of all, he considers the need to support ukraine, and now he needs some positive message against the background of what is happening in the us house of representatives, based on the domestic american situation, and exactly the attack missiles could to become a certain substitute and a signal that the united states continues to rhythmically support ukraine, and it is very good that today the pentagon, it is ready to transfer these missiles to attacks from the cluster variant, because if earlier we saw that first a political decision is made, and then it is already implemented and applied steps are taken, now everything is happening diametrically opposite, that is , after president biden and his administration will announce this decision, as soon as possible, these missiles will be at the disposal of the defense forces

of ukraine, so i really think that this issue will be resolved as soon as possible. well, that obviously won't happen until the budget is passed, now i remind you that there is an interim budget, there are still 40 days to be able to decide on a candidate for the speaker, a representative of the house of representatives, to replace mccarthy, who has resigned, well, here, in fact, it is necessary. to kill two birds with one stone for this decision to be made, how long can they delay this decision, and in particular considering the fact that there are also republicans who continue to put sticks in the wheels. as high-ranking officials from the pentagon have already announced, as of today, $5.2 billion in aid has not yet been disbursed, this is earlier, and

the atakams can in principle be included in this amount, and also taking into account the fact that, in fact, their transmission was shown to the republicans, even as a savings for the american budget, in what way, because these missiles could be transferred for disposal, and their disposal is even more expensive in the united states than the transfer and logistics them to ukraine, there is a very interesting process. precisely in relation to these cluster missiles, in relation to the cluster variant, and i think that in principle, from a technical point of view, there will be no problems here, the only nuance, which is currently in limbo, is that the atakams topic can be used by the republicans to somehow block this very process regarding , actually the new head of the house of representatives in the us congress, and the search for some kind of compromise in relation to it. the upcoming budget, and we

remember that until november 17, the united states itself has a shutdown deadline today, when its federal government will still be to work, but later there are already great risks of a total stoppage, and i would really hate for the topic of ukraine, precisely the transfer of missiles to ataka, to become, as it were, on the scales of this internal american process, but nevertheless, we already have a bipartisan statement today that support for ukraine: should continue, and there is no need to make an additional decision from the congress , additional funding on this very issue, so i think that this decision will be made soon, now the period in which we live, everyone is already calling the second cold war, and in the context of this information appeared that russia may return to nuclear weapons tests, at least the new york times wrote about it, they refer to a photo from a russian base. which

indicate that russia may be preparing for such tests, the tests of the experimental intercontinental missile burevisnyk, there is even a name, and previously a friend of putin. the head of the national research center of the kurchatov institute mykhailo kovalchuk proposed to test nuclear weapons on a new land in order to frighten the west, and in his in turn, putin's press secretary piskov, against the background of russian propagandist simonyan's scandalous proposals about a nuclear strike on siberia, asked for information about the possibility of russia conducting nuclear tests, but these are the signals, for whom and how to perceive them, or is this just another demonstration of some kind their biceps, as the russian federation has always done, or is it a real threat, in your opinion? this and that , in fact, but in general, you know, this is already

repeated, this is a certain meme, as once before, the second president of ukraine said: this is it was already, if you open the calendar and rewind not a year ago, you... you see that just before the birch tree, the russians tested the sarmat missile, where they also threatened to destroy great britain, then something else, well, we understand that this they have a standard theme, the nomenclature of those missiles where the test is taking place simply changes, but unlike the sarmat, which was there at the final stage , it was supposed to be there this year, it was supposed to be there alone somewhere on combat duty, and the burevisnyk, this weapon is not even close will go to combat use, because it is at the initial stage, according to these tests that are taking place these tests , so really, this is just an attempt to show biceps today, but the fact that such tests can

take place demonstrates that russia is taking a further course on rearmament and it demonstrates that it is a threat to the whole world today, because it uses nuclear weapons not as a method, but as a build-up and fulfillment of its military tasks, but in the course of the war with ukraine, i think that this is exclusively as a diplomatic tool, and not as already on the field battle will be used somewhere. mr. igor, one more topic that i want to discuss with you, the european parliament supported the creation of a special fund of 50 billion euros to support ukraine, the only thing here now is that traditionally we hear the voice of hungary, orban, let's call things by their names, who wants to share the support for 50 billion euros , which has already been announced, and can we now reject this request of hungary, and talk about

the decision of the european union and the european commission, can we now perceive it as what europe is now seriously reacts to the threats posed by russia, not only to us, to ukraine, to all of europe. well, europe is now really giving a signal that, firstly, it will help our recovery, precisely as a future member of the european union, and secondly, to these 50 billion euros, an additional 20 billion euros will be sent directly to the 27- th year to increase the capacity of the armed forces of ukraine, that is... in total, this amount will amount to 70 billion euros. this is actually a very powerful signal today in the russian federation that no one will give up on ukraine it won't, it won't, that's why the russian federation is doing everything to break this european unity, and we can clearly see it now, not only on the example of the same hungary,

we can also see the situation in slovakia, well, what is happening in general, russia she simply followed political methods, because she understands that ukraine's strategic support will not disappear anywhere. thank you igor for your answers and comments. ihor chalenko, head of the analysis and strategy center, was with us at the single news marathon. well, the broadcast continues, so do not switch. air of zaalny national the only news marathon continues. thank you for staying with us. russian propagandists should be under sanctions, said the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine. dmytro kuleba: ukraine called on the eu to start work on the 12th package of sanctions against russia. according to the minister, the first thing that should be in the new package of restrictions is work on countering the circumvention of sanctions and restrictions, which will further affect the defense industry of the russian federation. there is every reason to take a serious

look at sanctions against the nuclear industry of russia today, many ministers also spoke about the threat of russian disinformation. we believe that it is necessary to impose sanctions on. propagandists, ready for fruitful constructive work with the eu in this direction. gennadiy dubov, candidate of legal sciences joins our broadcast. mr. gennadiy, i congratulate you, thank you for joining. to the broadcast of marathon only news. welcome, thank you for the invitation. president volodymyr zelensky insists that every attempt by the russian invaders to circumvent international sanctions and international law should be met with a strong reaction from the world. but at the same time we see that the russians manage to circumvent these sanctions, why does this remain a reality, that's my question, and how can this situation be reversed? well, first of all , the main problem is that the sanctions were introduced as unilateral restrictive measures by

a number of countries. these are the most developed countries, actually we are talking about the european union, the united states of america, south korea, japan, well, roughly speaking, the group of 20, plus nato countries, plus the european union, well, actually with the intersection of those participants who are there as well and there, so to speak, and at the same time there are still about 130 countries that did not support the sanctions, that continue to treat the russian federation either favorably or neutrally, and in fact the entire sanctions mechanism that was introduced to russia, it is not a mechanism of international legal, simply due to the fact that the russian federation is actually a permanent member of the security council of the united nations, a decision on full-scale sanctions, as it was, for example, against iran or against north korea, it can be adopted. by this body, taking into account the right of veto, it is imagined

impossible, and thus, in fact, we are talking about the continuation of trade, that is, through this hole in more than a hundred countries, which in fact continue to trade with russia, including carrying out secondary e, respectively, imports for the purpose and for the purposes of the russian federation, in this sense, a lot and often drew attention to the need to introduce so-called secondary sanctions, that is, conditionally speaking , if... an american chip or some other american or european or japanese product, for example, through the conditional uzbekistan, kyrgyzstan, kazakhstan, emirates there and a number of other states, it is still with evidence, if it is proven that it was planned from the very beginning to the actual export to the territory, the export to the territory of russia, then all these companies that are involved in such schemes, or even all countries, who contributed to this in one way or another, should also receive appropriate restrictions, but today the western world is not ready to take such risks, as it is considered that it strongly contradicts

their economic interest, and it is quite difficult to administer it. there are others separate spheres, as mr. kuleba spoke about nuclear energy , here we can state that the sanction does not exist in fact at all, because rosatom continues to supply enriched uranium to the united states itself, to trade through banks that are connected to the swift system . and so on, and here the reason is that it has a very large market share, up to 40%, it is estimated, and in fact, even the united states and consumers in the european union are not able to completely abandon this energy source today, actually from of nuclear fuel, which is made from enriched uranium, and 40% of this uranium is enriched on the territory of the russian federation, so the issue is complex, and indeed our authorities today point out that it is necessary to intensify efforts regarding , in particular, the expansion of the limits of sanctions, in particular, for

example, on nuclear energy, or the introduction of effective mechanisms of responsibility for violations of the sanctions regime, including, perhaps, first of all , the so-called secondary sanctions, which are applied today, if they are applied, it is done in such a limited way mode mr. gennadiy, this work takes place unilaterally , that is, when we propose... which sectors of the russian economy to include in the sanctions list, what to impose sanctions on, well, in particular there, you mentioned the same 12th package of sanctions, which should begin to be developed, whether it is, after all, bilateral work, whether there are proposals from our partners, well, the fact is that the situation looks as follows, one way or another, we are a victim of aggression, in fact, aggression itself is the basis for the introduction of sanctions, therefore that we

we understand that it hurts enough for the european economies, actually from the point of view of the fact that, for example, they currently receive much more expensive energy and a number of other goods, raw materials, primarily, which they previously received from russia, so we actually give our proposals, but one way or another, the last word remains with those who, through their primarily national legal mechanisms , introduce appropriate restrictions, that is why there is a discussion here with, for example, the authorities of certain european and american countries and their voters, including, because there exists a serious industrial lobby, for example in the same one in germany, regarding goods, regarding a number of other goods, which actually significantly affect the labor market, affect the economy, and so on, that is, there are actually very, very many factors here, which we do not have today a situation where all our wishes are actually taken into account, because if we look even at the european union, it is not completely stopped, for example, even the import of russian oil, because in order to approve the previous packages, the same hungary, let's say, bargained for itself certain exclusion in

due to the fact that they don't have a sea and that the only possibility to get energy is... pipeline transport and the russian federation itself as a supplier, so it all happens in a complex mechanism of compromises between countries, associations of countries, and dialogue between voters and, accordingly, governments , and here our voice is definitely, it sounds as if loud, and it is important, but it is not the only factor that is taken into account when making final decisions. of course, and i would also like to push the topic, the topic, of illegal... detentions on the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea, actually russia is illegally and forcibly deporting the akhtemov brothers and nariman dzhelyalov from the temporarily captured ukrainian crimea, the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine condemned the sending of political prisoners to prison on the territory of the russian federation by the interventionists. and my question, specifically to you, mr. gennadiy, is

that, taking into account that russia will submit more and more. is isolated from international law, how, do the mechanisms remain, and how then, by what methods and methods to liberate political prisoners, well, you know, the situation is very similar to everything that happened not even there during the last year and a half, the last nine years, and all this experience shows that the only effective means for obtaining illegally imprisoned persons are citizens of ukraine, this there are exchanges, because starting from 2014 we had, unfortunately, an extremely large number of cases and convicts in crimea and not only in crimea, and the way we managed to get them was to return those who were convicted or detained in our country and actually in exchange to receive those people who, whom we want to liberate, c including conversations that have been going on for a long time and

are continuing, i think that at a closed level there should be discussions about the exchange of everyone for everyone, and so on. that is, there is unfortunately no legal mechanism that is effective today, because if we are talking about crimea, the russians have been taking the following position since the 14th year, that we annexed crimea, we declared everyone there to be citizens of the russian federation, and according to our constitution citizens of the russian federation are not subject to extradition to any other country, and that is why we are the type we cannot help in any way, today in conditions where the remnants of international law and those relations and treaties are fully reformed. that existed between ukraine and the russian federation, when we do not have diplomatic relations, when we actually have a full-scale war, it is not necessary to talk about any legal mechanisms in principle, that is, here either exchanges, or international pressure, or some such complicated procedures, which will be built on a case-by-case basis, taking into account different circumstances, because even the united states also

carried out and during the full-scale war and carried out exchanges, respectively, of their prisoners. on the actual citizens of russia who were on their territory, in particular, victor bud was exchanged for a famous american basketball player, and this happened within the last year, so the only way left here is for some court or international prosecutor or something like that, it is all ineffective, it is indeed possible and necessary to make loud international political statements, but their effectiveness will be almost zero. thank you , mr. gennadiy, for answering my questions gennady dubo. candidate of legal sciences, was with us in the marathon single news, do not switch, we are moving on. the broadcast of the general national marathon continues. only news. thank you for staying with us, and for your attention the following topic: eu foreign ministers will study zelenskyi's peace plan to gather more

support for this document. this was stated by the high representative of the european union for foreign affairs, borel, based on the results. of the eu, which was held for the first time outside the european union in kyiv. the very fact of holding the council in the ukrainian capital during the war testifies to the unlimited support of ukraine from the countries of the european union. the head of ukrainian diplomacy, dmytro koleba, is sure of this. he believes that the result of the forum in kyiv will be concrete support for ukraine and from the eu, both in the security and humanitarian spheres. dmytro vasylov, a political consultant , is in touch with us at this time. dmitry, thank you for your help. to the air, thank you for inviting me, i congratulate you, so the meeting of the eu council on foreign affairs, which took place in kyiv, what is the importance of this event? you know, i would enlightened our minister of foreign affairs that, of course, this is the first time that the eu council meeting takes place outside the european union, but it takes place

precisely within the future borders of the european union, emphasizing that ukraine will be a member of the eu. therefore, it is absolutely symbolic and also symbolic that it happens during the war, when the issue of statehood and territorial integrity of our state becomes a question, but ours is without... ukrainian undisputed faith in our victory and justice in the restoration of our independence territory, or rather territorial integrity , also has a convincing effect on our partners, the european union, which is just as convinced that we will restore our territorial integrity and become full members of the european union. and how likely is it that after our homework, and in particular, this meeting of the eu foreign affairs council in kyiv, we should expect some more specific decisions from the european union. well,

in particular, information appeared the day before that in december, the eu may agree to start negotiations on the accession of ukraine. politiko newspaper writes about this with reference to its sources in diplomatic circles. how likely is it that these events are connected with each other and it will really happen as the politicians write about it, you know, you want to believe that this is exactly how it will be, after all, ukraine is convincingly doing its homework on the process of joining the european union and precisely the implementation of those legislative decisions that ukraine has to make, therefore, that is why we are going very well... at a good pace, within the framework doing one's homework, well, this is confirmed by the self-screening that the ukrainian government uses, and this

is an initiative of the ukrainian government , to check how quickly we complete homework and whether everything meets the requirements set before us our partners from the european union, we follow the plan, we even exceed this plan, and it is obvious. that this is also seen by our partners and the insider that the politician received about december as a possible month for the start of negotiations on the accession of ukraine to the european union, it is absolutely realistic, so let's hope that december will bring us not only holidays associated with nicholas, christmas and christmas, but also it will be a holiday of the integration of ukraine. well, it is really important here that we have time to fulfill the seven recommendations of the european union

, which will depend on the start of negotiations, if such a political decision is made by the leaders of the european union, then it means that we are probably on the right path. here, by the way, the day before also in the context of this this meeting of the council of ministers of foreign affairs... which took place in kyiv. ukraine called to start work on the 12th package of sanctions against the russian federation. in your opinion, should we expect any quick decisions here? i hope there can be quick solutions. it is obvious that russia must be economically extremely limited in its activities, and in order to earn money to wage a war against ukraine, and in general against the european union and against democracy, because we always have. we have to emphasize that this is not only russia's war against ukraine, this is the autocracy's war against democracy, and ukraine is obviously on the frontline of democracy, so these sanctions

must be very crushing for the russian economy, so that the russians do not have the opportunity to continue developing their economy, moreover, it was not possible to circumvent sanctions through third countries. and it is very important that these sanctions also included solutions that make the activities of those countries or those companies that help russia circumvent the sanctions also very painful, so that everyone have seen several cases that will take place and it is clear that it is not worth helping russia, there with a certain economic benefit for itself , to help, to fight against ukraine, against the democratic world, against all democracy, i hope that this will happen and i really hope that what too , there will also be decisions related to nuclear energy in russia. russia should feel more and more pressure , including on its nuclear energy, because

precisely... energoat is one of those companies that earns quite serious money for the russian economy, we saw recently the report of the russian company, gazprom, which showed an extremely serious drop in its production, and obviously a drop in profits, it is very important that all directions that earn a lot of money for the budget, including the energy atom, including what is going from, extraction and sale of precious metals, so that all this was in a very serious limitation for the russians, so that they could not earn money to continue it, of course, dmitry, thank you for joining our broadcast, dmitry vasilov, a political consultant was in a marathon the only news, we we move on and invite you to stay with
