freedom life frankly and impartially. you draw your own conclusions. the war in ukraine is the main topic for ukrainians. wins and losses. analysis and forecasts, politics and geopolitics. serhiy rudenko and the guests of his program will talk about all this. people who have information and form. public opinion, people defending ukraine and creating the future right now, the main and interesting thing is in the program verdict by serhiy rudenko, from monday to friday at 20:00, repeat at 12:10.

i greet you, dear tv viewers, on the air of the television channel, the program studio zahid, we will analyze the most important events of this week, we will talk about security, international affairs and, of course, about war. our guests today are matthew bryza and myroslav cech. matthew bryza will be working on tv channel now. ex-adviser to the secretary of state of the united states, former director of europe-taurusian affairs at the us national security council. glory to ukraine, dear mr. ambassador, i congratulate you. the unexpected resignation of speaker mccartney, which led to a second extremely unpleasant story. in particular, it is about the 45-day budget of the united states without aid for ukraine. the fact that we in ukraine are worried, well, that's an understatement.

in fact, the fact that money for ukraine was removed from the government's temporary funding bill came as a complete surprise, support for ukraine is quite strong in the united states congress, even among republicans, and only a small group of the most radical republicans who support trump do not want to support ukraine for reasons , which i still do not fully understand. it was they who wanted the government to stop functioning, to get rid of it. him money, and to avoid that, then- speaker mccarthy had to compromise. he chose a compromise, which was that there would be no aid to ukraine in this budget, but another budget would be passed in 45 days, and of course, everyone except the radical republicans would hope that there would be money for ukraine in it. but the most important thing now is who will be elected to replace speaker mccarthy. there are two main candidates,

steve scullis, a senior republican from the state of louisiana, he advocates more support for ukraine, quoting biden, as long as it takes, and his opponent, jim jordan of ohio, opposes increased support for ukraine. so the newly elected speaker will decide which bills to vote on and can block aid to ukraine if he so chooses. there is nothing president biden can do in this case but try to convince him, so this is a completely unexpected turn of events, and to me it is deeply embarrassing to the democratic system of the united states of america, because it shows how close we are to a complete dysfunctionality, we understand that the united states helps us in a way that few people in the world help us, but we hoped for the strengthening of this... help, in particular

, taking into account the winter campaign on the big front of the russian-ukrainian war, so we hoped that america would dare that president biden will dare and sign the relevant documents regarding the allocation of atakams to us, a few weeks ago, mr. borkovsky, you and i talked about the fact that the biden administration is finally ready to provide atakams to ukraine and is moving well in the direction delivery of the f-16, because it is finally clear that ukraine really needs this weapon and is not going to use it for attacks on russian territory. without such resources, ukraine will not be able to do what washington expects of it, that is, to make progress on the battlefield. and then everyone was caught off guard by this bezlat in the political system of the united states, so it is currently impossible to say what will happen next. in addition, i think that in the long term, it will be

politically disadvantageous for whoever becomes speaker of the house of representatives not to renew support of ukraine, but now it is simply impossible to say how quickly it can happen and how big this aid can be. as far as i understand, $5 billion worth of aid to ukraine still remains unused. based on the fact that, on average, ukraine receives 2.7 billion dollars per month from the united states, we are talking about two months of aid that has not yet been provided. we have also seen how many iranian weapons have been seized and will be transferred to ukraine, it is said. about millions of cartridges and thousands of iranian-made machine guns, which are obvious were transported by sea for the houthi rebels. however , ukraine cannot win the war relying on such accidental finds of weapons. the united states must provide funding.

dear mr. ambassador, i understand what you are talking about, on the other hand there is no end of concern, so the so-called are beginning to multiply... very often it is anonymous sources in the white house, very often it is retired generals who start talking, it is not only about the united states, for example, about great britain, they begin to say that maybe we will have something in our warehouses to end, well, we are talking about the british statement, we will help ukraine, but it should be taken into account that our help is also not rubber and so on, i reluctantly try to predict the situation that may develop in a couple of months, yes, when they can ... in the united states, for example, trump's supporters will say, we have already helped ukraine enough, and they will name the amount of 100 billion dollars and say, let's reduce the aid, but you have a feeling, this is the real schedule in the american and european politicians, in particular it is said

about two key stories, so money and weapons. the basis of politics is money and spending, and in the united states system, it is congress that decides. how much money will be allocated to the goals the president wants to achieve, this is where the united states congress has the most power and that is why our democratic system is difficult to govern, sometimes it happens, but as winston churchill said, americans will do the right thing in the end after they have tried everything , which is wrong. we are now in a mode where we have a group of extreme republicans supporters of the president. trump, who are nihilistic. they would like to bring down our government because they think it will make biden look bad and trump look good. so ukraine is a hostage of this process. in the long run, i think aid will be given, based at least

on what churchill once said. in the end, the united states will do the right thing, in the short term, the positive thing is that it also sends a certain signal to us. european allies to make them do more. great britain has done a lot, that true, germany has done a lot, estonia has done the most per capita, but there are other countries like bulgaria that haven't done as much as they should. i hope that now there will be a small political crisis also within the european union, so that they understand that they must do even more to help ukraine, dear mr. and in any case, we understand that international politics is going through perhaps not the best times for ukraine. we feel that certain changes are taking place. i will not say that these changes tectonic, but in any case, in addition to the hungarian prime minister orbán, we also got the slovak prime minister robert fitz, well

, rather the prime minister and so on, we understand that ukrainian-polish relations have deteriorated, rapidly deteriorated, i want to believe , that they can improve , well, in the near future... yes, thanks to certain specific efforts of ukrainian and polish politicians, but in any case, there is a feeling that the world situation may be getting worse for us. it is true, every political issue, every political problem, every war is mine life, at some point it lost the interest of the international community, but the international interest in this war was and remains strong. it is still very strong. but political systems do not stand still. do you remember what kind of support ukraine had in slovakia at the beginning of the war? how many ukrainian refugees did they accept? of course, it was the same with poland, but then domestic politics intervened. economic conditions in both

countries have become more difficult and difficult for farmers. in particular, through ukrainian grain. i can't say that their support has dissipated, no, she is, and i think that. in slovakia and poland, everyone still realizes that it is very important that ukraine wins, but people have become more withdrawn, more selfish, more focused on... their own situation and less sympathetic to ukraine, but it is absolutely clear that slovakia and poland know that ukraine should win this war. people are now a bit tired, have somewhat forgotten the seriousness of this war, a kind of stalemate has formed on the battlefield, but with the passage of time, when the polish elections will come, when the slovak political system, after the conversion of fico, who has remained a supporter of putin for a long time, then i think that support for ukraine will be restored. but

it's easy for me to talk sitting here. if i were ukrainian, i would be very worried, after all, i am worried too. it is terrible how poland and yaroslav kaczynski behave towards ukraine. to impose additional economic difficulties on ukraine due to the interests of polish farmers in the elections is, at the very least, ego. and what is most important is strategic suicide. it is being prepared in istanbul, maybe another meeting of the so-called istanbul format. what can be the agenda of this meeting, what will be discussed, because the issue of the so-called peace formula can be interpreted quite differently in different states, in different political structures. we have a ukrainian position, it was voiced by our president volodymyr zeleny. but we understand that different cabinets may want to see their own solutions

to the war issue. great question, and i fully agree that different countries in the transatlantic family have different visions of how the war should end, or how it should continue. so, president erdoğan has been consistent on some issues, and i assume that he will play a major role in shaping the agenda. from the very beginning, he clearly condemned russia's invasion of ukraine, supported the territorial integrity of ukraine, condemning the annexation of crimea and other four regions, as well as the occupation of donbas. he was consistent in ensuring that turkey provided significant military aid to ukraine. however, he managed to be consistent in his desire to remain a potential mediator and maintain his contacts with putin. erdogan really pisses. grain agreement, because he was not the last to conclude it.

i think that the agenda will be to restore the grain agreement, since ukraine seems to be complying with it by sending its grain and other cargo by ships along the coast of romania and bulgaria, which are nato members, so erdogan will try to restore the grain agreement. also his consistency is that he just wants the war to end and peace to come. he sees the role of turkey in international... relations, as a stabilizing force and a country that is committed to finding peace, even regardless of how unjust the political situation on the ground may be, in this case in ukraine, as a human being, he just wants people to stop killing . the biden administration takes a different position, on the one hand, they believe that ukraine should decide how to end the war, and on the other , they fear or have feared escalation from the side. russia and the use of nuclear weapons, which i think is a mistake. european union

expressed himself very clearly: ukraine must receive all necessary support and must decide for itself how to end the war. here are the issues that will be on the agenda of this meeting. how can we achieve peace, how can we be mediators, how can we achieve respect for the territorial integrity of ukraine, and how can we ensure that grain exports resume their normal pace. dear mr. ambassador, a couple of weeks have passed since the visit of president zelenskyi and the ukrainian delegation to washington. there were a lot of emotions, there were very loud statements, we in ukraine tried to analyze all this, but there were also meetings, in particular, a meeting with one of the patriarchs of american diplomacy, kissinger, so he met with representatives of our ukrainian delegation, and accordingly we understand that american diplomacy, well , it is declaratively... extremely eloquent, extremely powerful , but there are very different currents, and if we talk about how

they will now try to develop ukrainian-american cooperation, i will again return to the beginning of our conversation, because the best way to show help, in particular in allocation of heavy weapons, so the russians would like to turn the russian-ukrainian war into a land war, into an infantry war, our key... task is to get heavy artillery, missile systems, heavy tanks, not 30 abrams, but 130 or 230, yes, but it does mean that the russians can for... apply some or the other non-conventional threats that they are hinting at. let's start with former secretary of state kissinger. he is considered the most experienced and one of the wisest diplomats in the history of the united states. interacting with him during his diplomatic career, i found his views profound, but

i did not always agree with them. so i can assume that it is possible. the delegation that met with him did not quite agree either. we remember how kissinger suggested at the beginning of the war that perhaps it would be better for ukraine to look for a way to peace, as erdogan is doing, and not to continue the war. and then he changed his point of view. the profound wisdom of henry kissinger, reflecting the need for ukraine to end this war on its own terms, is what ultimately. the rest will prevail in washington. now we are witnesses real political madness in washington, through which the supply of arms to ukraine has been politicized, perhaps, thereby deterring russia's potential use of unconventional or nuclear weapons. that is, it is

not even a rational debate, it is just a senseless struggle between supporters and opponents. trump in the gop, which will hopefully end soon, and the biden administration will receive increased funding for ukraine, including most systems like atakams. in this way, ukraine will once again be able to control its destiny to the extent that as much as possible. and one more point. i think that henry kissinger, like many people in washington, does not fully understand. how can ukraine dislodge all russian troops from crimea and donbas, because this is a very difficult task. but in my circle of friends in washington, there are military-political experts who see that ukraine is moving in this direction, firstly, thanks to its gradual advance towards the sea of ​​azov to separate donbas and

crimea, and secondly, with with the help of atakams, other crabs, as well as ukrainian naval drones, which pose a serious threat to the crimean bridge. so it's entirely possible that ukraine will soon be able to cut off crimea without killing all of the russian military, and that will force putin to negotiate terms that will ultimately be much more favorable to ukraine. dear mr. ambassador, you know, i am afraid of the so-called. repetition of the afghan syndrome, yes, in particular, it is about the american election campaign, and for example, the presidential candidate donald trump, or someone else from his political environment will start shedding lying crocodiles or tears, saying, you know, we helped ukraine very well, but now we have to focus on the problems of farmers from pennsylvania,

the american election campaign can bring a lot of surprises, unpleasant ones, and the key task of our ukrainian flight... who should be ready and act in advance , we received from the american authorities a series of advice and deadlines regarding the implementation of certain reforms, well, here is the key task, i would ask you to analyze, these are the reforms that we must carry out quickly, there is a specified time there 3 months, six months, and so on and so forth, that is, if we do not invest in the appropriate terms, can it somehow affect the provision of full and irreversible assistance from the united states, and in general, i would like you to also mention the situation with lendlease. the representatives of the republican party who are against supporting ukraine are looking for any excuse to justify their position because they think it will make them more attractive in the eyes of donald trump, so for their own

benefit, they will point to corruption in ukraine, for any insufficient means. on the wrong forms of ownership, that is, they will put pressure on vulnerable places. as for the current progress of the zelensky government in carrying out reforms, i cannot give any assessment. in the end, i think that no one follows it as closely as before the war. because, of course, we are all focused on the war, but if you look at how he is trying to weed out corruption from the ministry of defense, for example, in matters of procurement and others, then the impression is completely positive. after all, not so much the situation with internal reforms in ukraine will determine whether the united states aid will continue. in fact, first of all , everything depends on who will be chosen as the speaker. the house of representatives of the united states congress, so who wins the presidential election in 2024, and if it is trump , we have already heard him, he will figure out how to stop

the war in 24 hours, frankly, i don't think he will stop helping ukraine , he realized while he was the current president that the united states should have provided ukraine javelin, so that she could defend herself, and thank god that this happened, trump is not very good... he understands the intricacies of geopolitics and everything he does is transactional, that is, he wants to know his benefit from this or that step. i think that president zelensky will find out how ukraine will be able to reach those who need it. the speaker of the house of representatives, whoever it is, must ultimately listen to the president of the united states. after all, even when the united states gravitated toward isolationism, even when our first president, john. washington advised americans to avoid, as he called it, foreign ties, the united states has always had an inherent idealistic motivation, which was the idea that the united

states would make the world safe for democracy, i think that these trends will continue in american politics and will continue as long as you and your audience are watching the policy of the united states, in relation to lendlease, it is impossible to pedal this issue now, because the house of representatives cannot meet and deal with official business, as it does not have a speaker. only when a new speaker is elected will the house of representatives return to work, and the speaker will control which motions or bills can be put to a vote. so if the gentleman i mentioned, jim jordan, is going to be the speaker, i think he's just never going to bring a bill like this to the floor of the house of representatives, and biden's. there will be no statutory way to do anything. on the other hand, if steve scalise of louisiana is elected speaker, i'm sure he would want bills like the lendless proposal to be

brought up for a vote in congress. so in the event that such a vote takes place, i have no doubt that the bill will pass and become law, but it is impossible to predict the future at this time because the legislative schedule or agenda is entirely dependent on who is elected as the next speaker, thank you very much, hon. mr. ambassador, for this extremely interesting and honest conversation on tv channel uso, i want to remind our tv viewers that matthew was working for them now bryza, former adviser to the secretary of state of the united states, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the us national security council. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. pain can become an obstacle, walking with steps, not with my knees, from pain in the knees, try cream

today in the issue about important things in simple language available to all viewers. greetings, iryna koval is in the studio and this is the summary of the week on the espresso tv channel. news, summaries of the week, every saturday at 21:00 on espresso. our current guest is myroslav cheh, deputy of the polish diet of the second term, public figure, publicist. historian, glory to ukraine, mr. myroslav, i congratulate you, glory, congratulations, well, i would like to start our analysis with extremely difficult news from the united states, such a story has arrived that the speaker of the congress could be removed from office just like that, so in the power of certain processes, well, the americans came out of their shutdown, but at our expense, relatively speaking, that is, they did not write 45 days in their temporary budget, what do you think

is happening now... in the united states and how seriously will they be ready to defend, well the already established line of the biden administration in support of ukraine. well, let's start from the other side. at that very moment, the ukrainian issue entered american domestic politics for good, that is, it has been present since the first impeachment of trump, who we already remember wanted to receive from president zelenskyi. papers, black papers on biden, on biden and him, his son, so that the ukrainian , the ukrainian theme, the ukrainian problem is present in american domestic politics, it has become an element of this domestic policy, should we be happy about it or not, well, i i would say that there is nothing to be particularly happy about, because it is not good when there is a problem, an element of internal opposition, it would be desirable for the two sides to be preserved.

bipartisan support for ukraine, and this bipartisan support for ukraine exists, but it exists the minority that sets the tone in the republican party for this music, i.e. trump and his supporters, who are isolationist, and they will use any elements against, against trump, we also understand that the element of this internal problem, the ukrainian in the pubs, as we will to name it, there is also the impeachment or preparation for the impeachment of biden himself by the republicans, out of consideration among others, out of consideration of the activities of his son, his son hunter, and among other things in ukraine as well as his business interests, hunter is facing accusation, but not that he earned money here in ukraine or in connection with ukraine, only what he illegally obtained, kept in the house, kept in his own house.

weapons at home, he was once under the influence of drugs, i am telling you this and i am caught in the thought that how much should be told to answer a very simple question, and what this means for ukraine, certainly not very good news, yes, because when not there for 45 days, conditional support and everyone in the world is telling that there is no money to support ukraine, according to the president of the united states of the states, goes to his allies from the g7 group with nato and says that america stands steadfastly by ukraine and that this money will be used to support ukraine, secretary of state blinken says the same thing, the pentagon is preparing the next arms deliveries to ukraine, president zelenskyi says that america is with us, canvas, bipartisan, support is maintained, that is, everything in principle, everything is not good, but still there are some, you know, internally disturbing things.
