the anti-ukrainian party won. europe is watching the events in america, the political storm that is gathering momentum. europe has its potential, its independent power potential, its global role, and it must be as powerful as possible on all key issues important to europe. russian inhumans continue to stage-kill peaceful ukrainians. tragedy in a thunderstorm in kharkiv oblast, there the invaders killed almost... half a village. the air alarm does not subside, and the occupiers bombard the city, how do people live in kostyantynivka, donetsk region. greetings, iryna koval is in the studio, and this is the news, the results of the week on the espresso tv channel. this.

for a week, all the talk is about supporting our country, someone is spreading treason, talking about fatigue, but we know that we should trust only verified information. so joseph biden, in conversation with the leaders of the eu7 and nato confirmed that the us will support ukraine as long as necessary. the leaders discussed the continued supply of ammunition and weapons for the defense of our territory, as well as strengthening. air defense. at the same time, the kremlin and pro-russian politicians in the world continue to spread fakes that various countries will grow tired of financing ukraine, and putin has again intensified his nuclear rhetoric. white house spokeswoman karin jeanpierre responded to all statements. she said that behind ukraine stands a strong, very strong international coalition, and if putin thinks he can

last longer than us, then he is wrong, and despite the crisis, the us congress is still preparing the next military aid to our country. in january 2023, cia director william behrens secretly visited kyiv, where he met with president volodymyr zelskyi and the leadership of ukrainian intelligence. according to the washington post, burns briefed them. about russia's military plans and warned: at some point, ukraine will not be able to count on the same amount of aid from the united states as it is now. even then in the ukrainian leadership doubted whether the congress would be able to pass a new comprehensive aid package in the fall, and not without reason. in september, the united states plunged into the maelstrom of the presidential campaign, the budget debate for the next fiscal year, he in the us. october 1, almost led to

the so-called shutdown, that is, the paralysis of the federal government. it was avoided at the last moment, the congressmen voted for a temporary estimate for one and a half months, without the aid package for ukraine, which they decided to adopt as a separate law. however, even such a compromise cost republican kevin mccarthy the position of speaker of the house of representatives. he was fired, voices. democrats and eight trumpist republicans who accused mccarthy of colluding with president biden. currently , the work of congress is paralyzed. it worries me, but i know that the majority of members of the house of representatives and the senate, from both parties , have said that they will support funding for ukraine. we will be able to support ukraine with another tranche. there is another way to find financing for this. presumably, president joseph biden hinted. on the special powers of the government

to provide aid to ukraine, which congress has praised before, in case its work is paralyzed, but this is a half-measure. which does not solve the problem in principle, and most importantly - for a long time. in the wake of political disputes , support for ukraine among ordinary americans is weakening. a poll conducted this week by the reuters agency and the research company ipsos showed that only 41% of respondents support providing arms to ukraine. then, like 35%, no. in may, there were 46 for and only 29 against. europe is watching the events in america behind the gathering political storm. europe has its potential, its independent power potential, its global role, and it must be as powerful as possible on all key

issues important to europe. president zelenskyi made this statement in granada, spain, where the summit of the european political community was held this week, where the ukrainian leader, in particular, agreed to strengthen air defense on the eve of winter, probably, it was about strengthening support for our state from europe and in general, in the conditions when the usa entered in the pre-election period, but the answer of the european union is not too encouraging. it will definitely not be able to replace the usa, so the european union will increase its support, we now have a proposal for 50 million euros of economic and humanitarian aid and 20 billion euros for the military component. we can do more, but the us is definitely critical in supporting ukraine. the numbers don't lie. according to the calculations of the kiel institute of world economy, as of

the end of july, it was the eu that provided and guaranteed the greatest support to ukraine. over 84 billion euros. the usa is in second place, more than 60.9 billion, but there is an important nuance: it is said both about military and economic and humanitarian aid. if we look exclusively at the military component, then the usa is the undisputed leader. 42 billion in military aid, while all eu countries together provided a quarter less. recently, a number of european states have announced their intention to completely curtail military support. polish prime minister mata. against the backdrop of the grain dispute, shmuravets announced the cessation of arms supplies to ukraine, and although his statement was hastened to be corrected in warsaw, they say that it is about modern weapons that poland buys from usa and south korea, observers took the words of the head of the polish government as

an alarming signal , slovakia is also changing its policy, the party of ex-prime minister robert fico, who is called slovak, won the parliamentary elections there. orban, one of her main slogans was, no more patron for ukraine, the president of slovakia, zuzana chaputova, one of the biggest sympathizers of ukraine in europe, contrary to her own views, was forced to oppose the transfer of another package of military aid to ukraine by the current technical government, because it would meant to disregard the will of the voters, however, she later changed her mind. slovak military aid. ukraine should continue. i respect the results of the parliamentary elections and the negative opinion about it in the party that is conducting coalition negotiations. but any slovak administration must understand that it is not only about the security of ukraine, but also about slovakia itself. zuzanna chaputova, president

of slovakia. is all this a manifestation of the west's so-called fatigue with ukraine? which ultimately can lead to a sharp reduction in aid and forcing kyiv to negotiate with moscow on unfavorable terms, because that is exactly what putin is betting on. according to many observers, the risks of such a scenario are now much higher than a year ago. at that time, there was also a lot of talk about fatigue from ukraine, but the lightning counteroffensive in the kharkiv region and the liberation of kherson prompted the west not only to continue, but also to increase support. the summer-autumn military campaign of this year has not yet been completed, but it is quite... decent that according to its results, ukraine will not be able to liberate significant territories, which means that the voices of skeptics and fake peacekeepers will sound louder and louder. so, whether

the west's position and approaches to providing full and comprehensive assistance to ukraine in the war with russia are changing, we will talk about this with pavel klimkin, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 2000 14-2019. mr. pavle, i congratulate you. greetings, mrs. iryna, greetings to all, friends, it is a pleasure to be with you. so, the so-called fatigue. from ukraine and, as a result, the reduction of aid to our state is repeatedly the subject of public statements by high-ranking officials in europe and america and publications in the leading world media of course, this is also one of the narratives of moscow, russian propaganda. in your opinion, does this fatigue exist and to what extent could it affect the event's ability to provide the support we so desperately need? in that , of course. it is, and it is such a human, in fact, psychological story, because people see

the war, people have been helping us for more than a year and a half, but i would not directly connect it with the projection of a decrease in the amount of military and financial aid, so there is security , some indirect influence, but direct as of today... i don't see at all, i think that military aid is a different dimension , it is firstly the availability of weapons, and they are less and less, because no one ever thought that there could be a war of this intensity, the second is the ability it is enough to quickly adjust production, and there are also problems with this, because it will not be possible to speed up the economy on military lines, there is no political will for this, to create large-scale financial incentives,

there are also political challenges with this, but nevertheless, production is speeding up, we see it, and when the european union promises us a million shells, that's a number that's really impressive, and it's amazing even to experts, but there's also domestic politics on top of that. it 's elections next year and we're already feeling the heat of those elections in the states, because we first became part of of internal politics and part of internal exchanges, which of course is unpleasant, and not a very good story, then the speaker was dismissed in general, and the election of a new speaker will be a kind of detective story in american politics, but as today i'm sure. on it, that both the states and our european allies and partners will continue the aid, i really don't see yet

that it will be more, that they will be willing to raise the rates, but i also don't see that they have decided, or are even discussing anything substantial reducing aid, well, you've actually started to answer the question i wanted to ask you about the united states of america, because they're also entering a kind of turbulence zone, they're going to have an election very soon, and we know that have repeatedly heard statements from the radical wing of the republican party that aid to ukraine should be reviewed, and at the same time the white house stands by the fact that they will unwaveringly support us and the aid will be maintained, therefore, perhaps we should also prepare for some surprises, that is, regarding the presidential contests in america i would not talk about surprises, but about a conscious strategy, about modeling a situation

when aid can be delayed, as it is now, when it can become less, not radically less, but still significantly, for us everything critically important, and we are not only talking about radicals among the republicans , we are also talking about those who actually have to explain to their voters that they are helping us, and someone is blowing up the topic that all this is happening at the expense of, for example, the fight against migration, for the fact that in the south, on the border with mexico, there is no strict control over, the flow of drugs, the flow of crime, if you are a farmer somewhere in texas or there, i don't know, somewhere in the midwest, of course for you, this is your personal history of your family , and very

it is important now to work with everyone, but directly with the americans, to explain to them that if they help ukraine less, then in this way they are not just strengthening russia, strengthening china, and to tell all this through personal stories, this is another geopolitics, different from us tornado, but nevertheless, again, i do not see this aid becoming radically less, although fighting for each subsequent package will come ... and it will not be a banal story, but that elections, elections will also be in the states , there will be elections to the european parliament next year, and we we understand very well that there are difficult moods in europe as well, just look at slovakia and poland, mediated, so

we have a lot of challenges, but when it was easy for us, in fact, well, you already said that in the parliamentary elections in slovakia, they actually say. the political power of the ex-prime minister of this country, robert fizo, known for his public pro-russian position, won, and the president of this country, zuzana chapotova, in view of the upcoming change of the country's government, actually put military aid to ukraine on hold. about the polish prime minister mateusz morawiecki also spoke about the suspension of new supplies of military equipment for the armed forces of ukraine. can we say that our traditional allies as a result. political factors change their approaches to support our country? no, these are two completely different stories, slovakia and poland. fico and his party really won in slovakia. if you look at the electoral map, they won almost the entire country, but

slovakia is traditionally the most pro-russian country in central europe, just look at the number of people who after 19 months of war still support russia, yes, what can i say, more than 20% there have a positive attitude towards putin, that is, we always say that we have to work with the states, with brussels, with germany, but there are our neighbors who have , not of course not, not a common one... but to some extent a similar mentality, we understand them, we understand their language, we understand what is going on with them, and we also need to work with them, of course there are not enough hands for everything, but nevertheless it is necessary , i think it will be possible to come to an agreement with fitz, he has dependence on brussels, there is a dependence in the fact

that slovak business will want to work with ukraine, but it will be a difficult conversation. and the slovaks will hang various hooks for us in the negotiations regarding eu accession, just like the poles, but polish history is completely different, the poles understand that for them our support is their own guarantee of their security, the poles understand perfectly well that without us won, their security will be fundamentally questioned, they have said before... your security is our security, your security is our security, but firstly, the emotional surge of the elections, secondly, the competition for leading positions in the ruling party, since most likely kaczynski will leave in a certain time, and thirdly, there are difficult circles and discussions around

the issue of exporting our grain. yes, and russia had a hand there, of course, in these farmers’ protests, although they naturally started by themselves, and there is also the polish government, because poland incorrectly assessed the impact, from the very beginning they gave, in my opinion, inadequate advice to their farmers, but now they are on the sidelines we have arrived and we have to prepare with the poles to common security history, since... we are together the eastern flank of nato in the future, and during our movement both towards nato and especially towards the european union, the discussion with the poles will not be easy, but no matter what i do from what takes place in slovakia and poland, some common conclusions, so these stories are somehow related, but completely

different, as far as i'm concerned. mr. pavle, i want to thank you for... today's conversation, thank you, mr. iryna, friends, everything will be in ukraine, let's stick together, and he was in touch with us pavlo klimkin, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 2014-2019, and we are moving on. in the bakhmut direction , active fighting continues along the railway, which runs behind andriivka, klishchiivka and kurdyumivka. now these tracks are the main line of defense of the occupiers, but the armed forces of ukraine repel russian attacks and continue to conduct offensive actions. at the same time, the occupiers are trying to break through the lemanokup. direction, where the invaders continue to accumulate forces and reserves. there are more than 110,000 enemy personnel on this stretch. forces

defenses continue to advance in the zaporozhye direction. our defenders hold back the invaders in the area northeast of novoprokopivka and are advancing to the north of this settlement. this week our army has already had success near this settlement . however, ukrainian units from... were forced to retreat due to russian counterattacks. fierce battles on both sides continue around the willow and robot. the armed forces of ukraine managed to break through the first line of defense, however, enemy obstacles do not allow us to advance quickly. given the significant mining this area, the enemy's use of anti-tank controls from the means of promotion is extremely difficult, because we carry out measures related to the fact that we are forced to first direct the sappers who clear the passages for our units, and given that

the structures, built by the enemy, they are multi -tiered, then it is quite difficult for our artillery to knock out the enemy, because we understand that, firstly, we need a significant amount of ammunition, and secondly, if the ammunition hits the enemy trench inaccurately, then the enemy is there remains so that now the fortifications in the south are really so crucial for the pace of advancement, the phones are bursting with calls from relatives and friends, but the callers will never pick up the phone again, because the russians killed them. this thursday, the occupiers hit a cafe in the village of groza in the kharkiv region with an iskander missile, where a memorial dinner was being held for a serviceman who was reburied that same day. all died from the impact. his family, more than fifty dead people are known. and this is kharkiv, the next morning, on friday. the invaders took their lives

a ten-year-old boy and his grandmother, the youngest injured is only 11 months old. this is how russian inhumans continue to kill ukrainians and destroy our cities. mass graves in kyiv region and kharkiv region with hundreds of buried bodies. 61 people did not have time to evacuate from kramatorsk on april 8, 2022. that morning, russian terrorists fired at the railway station. on june 27 of the same year , the russians struck a shopping center in kremenchuk with rockets. then 22 ukrainians died as a result of shelling. july 2022. caliber cruise missile hit the center of vinnytsia took the lives of 29 people. among them are three children. january 14, 2023. holiday. the invaders targeted a lot of buildings in dniprovsk. the russian rocket claimed 46

human lives. one big grave - mariupol. even the un admitted that they cannot count the number of victims while the city is under russian occupation. to this day, it is not known how many people died as a result of the russian terrorist attack on the kakhovskaya dam. after the destruction of hydro. power plants, the russian invaders did not evacuate the temporarily occupied territories of the kherson region people without a passport of the russian federation. as a result, more than 500 residents of oleshok could have died. since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, according to official data from the prosecutor general's office, russia has killed almost more than 10,000 ukrainians. despite numerous facts and evidence, the terrorist country denies that it kills. civilians, strikes cities, residential buildings, schools and hospitals. this invasion of russia into ukraine, i have not yet seen in

my career, and these are 18 soldiers of three generations. this is an invasion, this is tens of thousands of crimes, and there will be more, while there are still some ukrainian cities are under occupation. attention is currently focused on ukraine. of the whole world, and we want it to remain so, because we do not want ukraine to become another syria, witnesses and survivors, they will ask if people know what really happened, we gave a voice to these witnesses, a kind of impunity allowed to flourish, and with this project we want to destroy this impunity, guided aerial bombs, wings. rockets and projectiles from rocket launcher systems . kostyantynivka in donetsk region suffers from russian terror. the occupiers are mercilessly shelling civilian objects and places

a peaceful gathering. population, a month ago the rashists attacked the central market of the city, on a day when it was full of people, this act of terrorism took the lives of 16 people. our correspondent, artem lagutenko, will tell you how kostyantynivka lives today. a month ago , russian inhumans took the lives of 16 civilians by shelling this market in kostyantynivka, today life is in danger here again. in these terrible shots, the occupiers hit the local market with a rocket, another crime by the russians against the defenseless population, standing there in front, i was thrown away by an explosive wave, because i didn't have time to run, you can shoot, i have a broken collarbone, i was carrying goods there, the russian

ruler, who stopped by the kostiantynivka market for a moment, left her traumatized for the rest of her life, threw her, that's right, really . all i remember is oksana, she replaced a friend at the counter who was killed by muscovites a month ago in this very place, 37 years old, she was standing there, just behind her came a plane, she got very serious and was lying in the dnipro, she had a couple

she did not come to complete my operation, but this what remained of the local school was shelled several times by the russians. at first, there were two arrivals from this region and that region , yes, and then about six months later, here is this pit , russian standard targets, educational institutions, places where people gather and district bedrooms, nothing to do with military facilities. burst they are also shooting at the center of the city, but the infrastructure is slow, mainly on the outskirts, that part, well, this is how we hear, for the last month the city has been bombarded almost every day with guided aerial bombs, and air alarms sound almost every hour. artem lagutenko, oleksiy kutsuk, from donetsk region for

espresso tv channel. the word is at war. about two dozen military writers and volunteers will tell how they see the russian-ukrainian war. it will be possible to hear their words on october 14-15 at the viakarpattia forum in ivano-frankivsk. the program includes creative meetings, author's readings, book presentations, master classes, performances by bards. in particular , olena mokrenchuk will present her books. when the occupiers invaded donbas, she covered it as a civilian a journalist, and later she herself joined the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine. but she did not leave writing. about creativity in the war, further. before euromaidan and the war in the east of ukraine, olena mokrynchuk had no idea that she would connect her life with the army, although now she feels comfortable in camouflage. the woman was born in donetsk region, worked as an educator, history teacher and journalist. i

was from the beginning of my career. to classic journalists who write that here and there, that where, when, that's it, on the maidan it was simply alive, alive communication, alive rapids and constant, constant stay in the thick of events, then it moved already east. in 2015, olena recalls that almost every day as a journalist, she covered the work of the 72nd separate mechanized brigade, and she joined it as soon as she became a military officer, rose to the rank of major, and met a full-scale invasion in the chair of a public relations officer. zsu, recalls the tension on the eve of the attack. we all knew that there would be an invasion, absolutely everyone in the military knew it, especially those who more or less there, he was involved in the administration, up to the higher structures, there were so many trainings that , well, probably there were not so many in the previous nine or eight years, they trained constantly, they trained tankers, artillerymen, scouts, signalmen.
