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 help for countries, 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 bill on temporary financing of the government 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 that i still do not understand, it is they who want the government to stop functioning, depriving it of money, and that to avoid this, then-speaker mccarthy had to compromise. he chose a compromise, which was that this

budget would not include aid to ukraine, but another budget would be adopted in 45 days. and of course, everyone except radical republicans hope that money for ukraine will be found in it. but the most important thing now is who will be elected to replace speaker mccarthy. there are two main candidates, steve scalise, a senior republican from louisiana. he advocates greater support for ukraine, quoting biden, until as long as it is needed. and his opponent, jim jordan from ohio, opposes increased support for ukraine. so the newly elected speaker will decide which bills to introduce. to a vote and can block aid to ukraine if it so chooses. in this case, president biden can do nothing but try to convince him. so this is a totally unexpected turn of events, and

i think it's 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 helped us in a way that few people in the world help us, but we hoped for an increase in 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 would dare and will 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 give ukraine ... and is moving well in the direction delivery of the f-16, because it is finally clear that ukraine really needs these weapons and is not going to use them 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 mess in the political system of the united states, so it is currently impossible to say what will happen next. also, i think that in the long run, it would be politically disadvantageous for whoever becomes speaker of the house not to renew support ukraine, however, it is simply impossible to say at this time how quickly this may happen and how large this aid may be , as far as i understand, there is still $5 billion in unused aid to ukraine, based on what ukraine receives on average from the united states 2.7 billion dollars per month, we are talking about two months of aid that has not yet been provided. we also saw how many iranian weapons were

seized and will be transferred to ukraine. it is 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 a war based on such random weapons finds, the united states must provide funding. dear mr. ambassador, i understand what you are talking about, on the other hand, the concern does not stop, so the so-called signals begin 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 run out of something in our warehouses, 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 do not want to predict the situation that may develop in

a couple months, yes, when trump's supporters may appear in the united states, for example, and they will say, we 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, that's what it says about real schedules in the american and by a european politician, in particular it is about two key stories, so money and weapons. the basis politics is money and spending, and in the united states system, it is congress that decides how much money will be appropriated for the goals the president wants to achieve. this is where the united states congress has the most power, and it is why our democratic system is difficult to govern, sometimes it happens. but, as winston churchill said, americans will eventually do right after they've tried everything wrong. now, we are in a mode where

we have a group of extreme republican supporters of president trump who are nihilistically inclined, they would like to destroy our government because they think it will put biden in a bad light and trump in a good light, so ukraine is a hostage to 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 some kind of signal to our european allies to get them to more. great britain has done a lot, it's 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, hopefully there will be a little political the crisis is also within the european union. so that they understand that they should do even more to

help ukraine, dear mr. ambassador, in any case, we understand that international politics is going through, maybe not the best times for ukraine, we feel that certain changes are taking place, i will not say that these changes are 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 deteriorated rapidly. ukrainian-polish relations have worsened, i want to believe that they can improve , well, in the near future, yes, thanks to certain concrete efforts of ukrainian and polish politicians, but in any case there is a feeling that the world situation may worsen for us, it's true every political issue every political problem, every war in my life at some point lost the interest of the international community, the international interest in

this war was and remains strong, it is still very strong, but political systems do not stand still, remember what support ukraine was at the beginning of the war in slovakia, how many ukrainian refugees they accepted, the same was the case with poland, of course, but then internal politics intervened, the economic conditions in both countries became more difficult and difficult for farmers, in particular due to ukrainian grain. i can't say that their support has dissipated, no, it has, and i think that in slovakia and poland everyone still realizes that it is very important that ukraine wins, but people have become more closed, more selfish, more focused on their own position and less sympathetic to ukraine. but it is absolutely clear that slovakia and poland know that ukraine must 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 come, when the slovak political system calms down, after the re-election of fico, who has long been a supporter of putin, then i think that support for ukraine will recover, but it is easy for me to say sitting here, if i were a ukrainian, i would very worried, after all, i'm 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 elections, it is at least selfishly, and at most, this is strategic suicide, istanbul is preparing, perhaps, another meeting of the so-called istanbul format, which may be the agenda of this

meeting, what will be discussed, because the issue of the so-called peace formula, it can be interpreted in different states, in different political structures quite differently: we have a ukrainian position, it was voiced by our president volodymyr zelenskyi, but we understand that different cabinets may want to see their own solutions issue of war great question. and i quite agree that different countries of 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 my guess is 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 providing

turkey provides significant military aid to ukraine. at the same time, he managed to be consistent in his desire to remain a potential mediator and maintain his contacts with putin. erdogan is really proud of the 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 the consistency is that he just wants the war to end and peace to come. he sees turkey's role in international relations as a stabilizing force and a country that is committed to finding peace, even regardless of how unjust the political situation may be on the ground, in this case ukraine, as a human being, he just

wants to stop killing people . the biden administration takes a different stance. there, on the one hand, they believe that ukraine itself should. decide how to end the war, and on the other hand, are afraid or were afraid escalation by russia and the use of nuclear weapons, which i think is a mistake. the european union expressed itself very clearly: ukraine must receive all the 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 do we achieve peace? how can we be mediators, how to achieve respect for the territorial integrity of ukraine. and how to make the export of grain resume its 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 and, accordingly, we understand that american diplomacy , well, she is declaratively extremely eloquent and extremely powerful , but there are very different currents, and if we talk about how they will now try to develop ukrainian-american cooperation, i again, i return to the beginning of our conversation, because the best way to show help, in particular, in the allocation of heavy weapons, is how the russians would like to turn... the 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 that means the russians can use some of the unconventional threats they

hint 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 my diplomatic career, i found his views profound, but i did not always agree with them. so i can assume that maybe the ukrainian delegation that met with him did not completely agree either. we remember that at the beginning of the war, yaksinger assumed that it was possible for ukraine. it would be better to look for a way to peace, as erdogan is doing, rather than continue the war. and then he changed his point of view. profound wisdom of henry kissinger. which reflects the need for ukraine to end this war on its terms is what will ultimately

prevail in washington. we are currently witnessing real political madness in washington, due to which the supply of arms to ukraine has been politicized, perhaps, thus deterring the potential use of unconventional or nuclear weapons by russia, i.e. this is not even a rational debate, it is simply a senseless fight between supporters and opponents of trump in the republican party, which will hopefully end soon, and the biden administration will get a boost financing for ukraine, including most such systems as atakams. in this way, ukraine will once again be able to control its destiny as much as possible. and one more point. i think that henry kissinger, like many people in washington, does not fully understand how ukraine can push out all russian troops from crimea

and donbas, because it is a very difficult task, but in my circle of friends in washington there are military and political experts , who see that ukraine is moving in this direction, firstly, thanks to its gradual advancement in the direction of the sea of ​​azov to separate donbas and crimea. and secondly, with the help of atakams, other longer-range missile systems, as well as ukrainian naval drones, which pose a serious threat to the crimean bridge. so it is quite possible that soon ukraine will be able to cut off crimea without killing all the russian military, and this will force putin to negotiate on terms that will ultimately be much more favorable to ukraine, dear mr. ambassador, you know, i fear a so

-called repeat of the afghan syndrome, yes in particular, we are talking about the american election campaign, and, for example, the presidential candidate donald trump, or someone else from his political circle will start to shed false crocodile 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 still bring a lot of unpleasant surprises, and the key task of our ukrainian politicians is to be ready and act in advance, we received a number of advice from the american authorities and deadlines, regarding the implementation of these or other reforms, and here is the key task , i would ask you to analyze these reforms that we have to carry out quickly, there is a specified time there of months, six months, and so on, and so on, that is, if we let's not put into the relevant terms, whether this can 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. representatives of the republican party, who are against supporting ukraine, are looking for any excuse to 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, to any insufficient means, to the wrong forms of ownership, i.e. will press on vulnerable places. as for the current progress of the zelskyi government in carrying out reforms, i cannot provide any assessment. at the end of the day, i don't think anyone is watching it as closely as they did before the war, because of course we're all focused on the war, but if you look at the way he's trying eliminate corruption from the ministry. defense, for example, in matters of procurement and others, the impression is completely positive. in the end, not so much the situation with internal

reforms in ukraine will determine whether the united states will continue to help. in fact, first of all, everything depends on who will be elected the speaker of the house of representatives of the united states congress, and therefore who will win the presidential election in 2024, and if it is trump, then we have already heard him, he will come up with something. how to stop the war for 24 hours, frankly, i don't think he's going to stop helping ukraine, he realized when he was the current president that the united states had to provide javelins to ukraine so that it could defend itself, and thank god that happened. trump does not understand geopolitics very well, 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 in what way ukraine will be able to reach those who need it. speaker of the house of representatives, who b

it was not, ultimately must listen to the president of the united states. for even when the united states gravitated toward isolationism, even when our first president, george washington, advised americans to avoid what he called foreign ties, the united states always had an inherent idealistic motivation, which was the idea that the united states would make the world safe for democracy. i think these trends will persist in american politics and will persist as long as we are with you and your viewers, watching the politics of the united states. regarding the lease, it is impossible to pedal this issue now, since the house of representatives cannot meet and engage in official business, since it does not have a speaker. only when a new speaker is elected. the house of representatives will return to business and the speaker will control which motions or bills can be brought up for a vote. so,

if the speaker is the gentleman i mentioned, jim jordan. think that he will simply never introduce such a bill on vote in the house of representatives, and biden will have no legislative way to do anything. on the other hand, if steve scalise of louisiana is elected speaker, i'm sure he'll want bills like the lendless proposal to come up for a vote in congress. therefore, if such a vote takes place, i have no doubt that the bill will pass and become law, but at the moment it is impossible to predict the future, because the legislation. whether the schedule or agenda depends entirely on whether who will be elected as the next speaker of the house of representatives. thank you very much, dear mr. ambassador, for this extremely interesting and honest conversation on the air of tv channel uso, i want to remind our tv viewers that matthew bryza, ex-adviser of the secretary of state of the united states, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the

national security council, was currently working for them usa. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. the stories of people who were held hostage by russian soldiers are terrible stories, they abused people so much that they simply did not there was a living place, they tortured me in the corridors here, just for fun, that’s it, we got high, we went to bed, the stress and shock i experienced cannot be described in words, of course, i prepared for the worst for two or three months, even up to six months to a year , i prepared for this, we do not even imagine the scale of this trouble, and as long as we remain silent, until then these people remain
