news of the day extremely well, but to interpret these news, it also requires a certain skill, and now we will try to analyze with one of the extremely well-informed ukrainian experts, what is happening in our country this is international, we understand, yes, that domestic ukrainian history is also about the external side of the coin, about external aid, and what is happening in the united states should interest you, dear viewers of espresso, no less than what is happening, in particular, in our corridors of power, with us, well , we have oleksandr kraev in the studio now, i wanted to say, in touch with us, but oleksandr kraev is always in touch with us yazu, expert of the council of foreign policy ukrainian prism, glad to see you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, to each other. well, the democrats are striking back, the american democrats are striking back, you know, star wars, we remember there about and about the empire, well, but some of the republicans, the pro-trump ones, they tried to divide the two aid packages and

support the state accordingly to take israel and ukraine under the towel, yes , press and every month we will give, we will not give, and maybe we will give not as much as you need, and so on and so forth, but the democrats blocked the attempts... the republicans to quickly approve the bill on providing emergency aid to israel without the provided funds for ukraine, that is, it is an extremely serious blow and a political move on the part of the democrats. so, well, for us here, for ukrainians, the most important thing is to get as much as possible. yes, there are many , many, many more layers here, it doesn't even seem like it at first glance, because first of all, it must be said that the proposal to separate the packages is the house of representatives. and the one currently controlled by trumpist johnson, the one that in is subject to trumpist blackmail in principle, and the majority of the democrats in the senate blocked this aid package , the first thing that should be highlighted is that the republicans of the senate were also against this separation, and they voted for

this package inertially, that is, because it is a party thing, while the democrats are in favor , we should be against it, it's still not going to pass, but actually, remember the words of michie mcconol , the republican leader in the senate, he said that we don't...' we see reasons from the senate republicans to split this package, we understand that we have to to give to ukraine and israel at the same time promptly this assistance. that is, the republican party was clearly divided on this issue. this is the first important point. the second important point, in parallel with this , a new proposal from the democrats is coming to the fore. that is, they see that the republicans do not want to accept 61 billion in aid to ukraine. okay, it's a long story, let's take 11.8 billion. let's take the same package as was adopted for israel, also for simplification. without additional conversations apply as quickly as possible, this does not suit them either, and here we come to the main question, so what the trumpists want, why would ukraine raise such a question for them and not israel , why are they ready to unite ukraine with the issue of the southern border, which, you know,

the trumpists love and recognize at the top, but at the same time they are not ready to vote promptly, here the key thing, the key narrative of trump ideology in general, is hype. that's why biden says that ukraine. everything is fine, great, it must be said that it is bad for ukraine. ugh. a week ago, biden said: "israel needs to quickly approve aid along with everything," and remember what johnson did, we won't vote for the israeli bailout, they didn't say that, but it happened precisely because the day before biden said that it had to be done quickly, that is, unfortunately, the naysayers will freeze their ears, but if it was trump , the trumpists tried to freeze their own american ears, well, you would know that, we didn’t talk about it, this is about our interests, and here is the key story, that’s how, you know, without unnecessary flights, i don’t know, political pathos, the administration will succeed biden push through what we need, here i am so simple , you know, market language, it will be successful, because the biden administration, it was headed by a very, very capable, very experienced

diplomat, namely biden, look what a thing, apart from this big package, 60 billions of mystery, we have a federal budget that has to be passed, they have a federal budget , yes, well, well, we have in this system, in this equation, we have a federal budget, and they have nine days to to have time to accept it, the federal budget has already provided from 30 to 40 billion in aid to ukraine, so we are entering into two large packages, a total of 100 billion. then there is an additional package for another 11 and a half billion also for us, that is, now the period of compromises begins, the republicans have to make some concessions, the democrats have to make some concessions, some packages will be revised , some will be separated, but it is simply impossible not to accept all this together, and this was the main strategy of biden regarding ukraine, we will put the necessary amount for ukraine in every possible bill, in every package, in every budget, and then let them what they want that's what they're doing, even if they dance a jig, but ukraine needs the amount, and

biden's experts in the pentagon said that it's about 35 billion for next year, one way or another, but ukraine will receive its basic 35 billion, everything else - it will be for we have a nice bonus, thank god, there will be 35 billion liras , i heard you, mr. oleksandr, the visit of the president to ukraine before the recent, yes, well, previous term of office of donald trump, a visit that did not take place, that is, i understand, i don't know that some or the other may have continued, thrown in internally the american agenda, well, accordingly, president zelensky took and invited come, comrade biden says, to ukraine, see everything with your own eyes, how you can stop the war, for example, stop trump, trump, and talk about trump, but donald trump says no , dear mr. zelsky, i say, i can’t come, because you understand, you work with the biden administration, why did trump back off, and because he saw the effect of the visits of other republicans to ukraine, that is, remember, mike pence came ,

chris christie was coming, people were coming from nikki haley's team, congressional delegations came, from the senate and from the house of representatives, after that every time, well , americans very often measure public opinion on ukraine, we saw the growth of support among republican voters for the issue of ukraine, and here we have trump, who constantly says , that ukraine is, in general, the afghanistan of europe, it is a terribly corrupt state to which you cannot give a single cartridge, a single dollar, we do not protect our border, we protect ukraine, and here they tell him, come to ukraine and see how in fact, there is, and he will come, he will see that we are moving , he will see that life continues in kyiv, he will see that our front-line soldiers are ready to stand to the end, he will see how american weapons work profitably, and this will break his narrative, i.e. trump, despite his interesting approach to information, let's call it that, he is still not a fool, and he understands that his visit to ukraine will break his entire narrative about ukraine, so he did not refuse. thank you, extremely interesting conversation, oleksandr kraev, an expert of the council is in the espresso studio

ukrainian prism of foreign policy. now there is a short pause, after which we continue to analyze the most important of the international agenda. wait. why am i here i have sensitive teeth, eat ice cream - pain, cold air - pain, sweets - pain. the dentist thinned lakalut. which effectively reduces tooth sensitivity. if i had known the lacquer sensitive earlier, i wouldn't have had to come here at all. lacalot sensitive - reliable protection against pain. with rh due to increased temperature, the body can lose water, therefore a must-have for copious drinking. heavy drinking, i.e. drinking a lot? so. when regular water is not enough, i recommend reo. reo restores the water-electrolyte balance in gr. the solution for abundant drinking is water. rheo. reo - water for special medical purposes. turn on well, that's when everything is as you want. click

so much with hints, but openly at a briefing in brussels, has demonstrated that she believes that soon, oh how soon, there will be a historical perspective, but ukraine has all chances and quite favorably assessed the level of our training and even threw a stone from a cherry, so to speak, in the direction of jean-claude juncker, her predecessor as head of the european commission, so tatiana, what is the atmosphere in brussels now? and just now i attended a meeting of the international committee of the european parliament, where the commissioner for enlargement oliver vergelii was just talking about the details of the package that was approved today by the european commission, the 2023 enlargement package, in which it is said that the european commission is turning to the european council with a proposal begin negotiations on accession to the european union with ukraine and also moldova, and the european commissioner actually told the details, told how

this procedure will take place and what awaits ukraine in the future, so there is already really fresh news, so what the european commission proposes to start negotiations with ukraine on joining the eu, of course, this does not mean that the negotiations have already started, or will start tomorrow, or even that they will start this year, the next step is a meeting of the european council of the leaders of the member states of the european union, which will take place on december 14-15 in brussels, and at this meeting the european council must approve the proposals of the european commission approved today, that is, it must support this message that ukraine is ready to start negotiations on joining the eu. in the meantime, ukraine should do its homework, because of the seven reforms we had to carry out in order to start negotiations. ukraine has completed four so far, there are three left, of which the most global are, of course, the fight against corruption and de-oligarchization, and the third, which is not so

global, but painful for ukraine, is the reform - this is a reform of the legislation on national minorities, because here we already have the influence of, for example, the same hungary, which wants more rights for national minorities in ukraine and, in fact, wants to start oppressing the ukrainian language in ukraine, so ukraine is making reforms, european, european council approves the call for the start of negotiations with ukraine , then in march 2024 the european commission will prepare a new report, by that time we should have done all the reforms, and if all this is resolved positively, then in march we will. we can expect that the negotiations about accession to the eu, that is, a big new step in the direction of european integration will be started, this is how the european commissioner described the situation at the meeting of the foreign affairs committee of the european parliament, which has just ended.

thank you, tetiana, just for the last time, i wanted to ask what is there to hear about the slovak prime minister fico , who was bitten by viktor orban, here i quote, here is the fresh news: the slovak government rejected the 14th package of military aid to ukraine in the amount of 40 million millions of euros. it was supposed to consist of 4 million units of cartridges of caliber 7.62 there, units big large-caliber ammunition, rockets for anti-aircraft fire systems and eight mortars, and so on, that there is fico, which he does not like , as well as orban, yesterday he clearly said that he will not support the european integration of ukraine until ukraine changes the legislation on national minorities as he wants, so fico said that he will not support military aid to ukraine, but still european officials believe that during this month, which remained european to the european council

on december 14, 15, they will do everything possible, in order to put pressure on both hungary and slovakia so that they change their mind and support ukraine, because in addition to these two issues, military aid, which is very important, and ukraine's accession to the eu, which is also extremely important, there is a third issue, this is financial aid to ukraine, because in december the european council must... decide whether to provide ukraine with 50 billion euros, which everyone has been talking about for the past two months, that is, on all these three issues, we have two antagonists, hungary and slovakia , but european officials hope that somehow they will be convinced, and in december, after all, ukraine receives everything that europe has already promised it and that it hopes for in order to successfully wage a war against russia and win. thank you, thank you tatyana for a brilliant analysis of the current situation in brussels, our. correspondent, tv channel correspondent from brussels, live coverage of all the most important things. thanks to tetyana vysotskyi,

oleksandr kraev, an expert of the ukrainian prism foreign policy council, is in our studio. van oleksandr, well, as if our european integration is plus-minus it is clear in which direction this whole business is moving. i wanted to ask you about one more extremely important story, you know, such a term has already been used as a shortcut, it is a long-standing one. took place there, starting from casablanca to yalta, you know, ending with the meeting next week, but just kidding, the president of the united states, joseph biden, and the leader of the chinese communist party, comrade xi jinping , are meeting, as i understand it, such a meeting will take place and they actually have something to talk about, before that xijingping gave some, i don't know if they are misleading signals or the signals are real, but about what they are ready to talk with the united states in order, so to speak , to smooth over certain sharp corners, but well , as they say, we will see, yes, in fact, this is

a meeting, you are absolutely right, it is very important, because we need to be realistic, we are entering a new period of the cold war, it is difficult to say here whether it is the absolute leadership of the united states that china is challenging, or whether it is an absolutely equal confrontation of two great political, economic, military potentials, but yes or otherwise we enter the period of the great the confrontation between the two centers of influence, now we are at that stage, which in the theory of international relations is called encampment, that is, every big, every big country gathers an alliance around itself, a roll call in the forest in such an empty language, so who is there for us, hey, say hey- oh, just last year, biden held a big democracy summit and did not invite all those countries that either have more than 60% of their gdp invested by china, or are part of the sco, or have signed any cooperation agreements with china in the last year and a half, and this is very clearly visible new line accordingly, after that biden declares in seoul that ukraine and taiwan are two points of one and the same front, it is a confrontation between democracy and dictatorships, and

accordingly this new iron curtain between democracies and dictatorships is established, where we, together with israel and taiwan, hold the defense , all the other democracies are helping us, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't meet the chinese, on the contrary, the old diplomatic principle applies, the more they talk, the less risk they will fight, they... china and the usa , it is implied, are economically interdependent as much as possible, because america for china is almost 30% of the total turnover, and it is a very expensive market, it is a high-quality market on which the chinese pour their most expensive goods. at the same time, china for america, this is 80% of rare earth metals, and this is new technology, this is green production , this is green energy, this is everything else, so they really need, well, as they say in our country, to work out the rules of the game, what is allowed, which is not allowed. which provocations are okay, which ones are not okay, where exactly there will be a conflict, let's go with you let's talk to avoid it, which in our

system is considered an overkill, where are these so -called big red lines. how we work in such and such a region, in such and such, it is not a matter of one meeting, it will obviously be a cascade of such summits, but it is good that they are ready to speak, and unlike the russians, who just run like macaques with a grenade and everyone is intimidated by a nuclear cataclysm, these two countries, being opponents, are ready to hear each other, this is a very good signal, the ukrainian case, russian aggression against us, how can they now to adjust their position to the chinese, well, we understand that if they had such a desire , they would simply re... for the russians, oxygen is economical in one direction or another, they did not do this, they substituted a friendly chinese shoulder, well, they started accordingly, not only that the truth is that it concerns the chinese, there are still several such countries, so to speak, in this direction, there are india and so on, well, god be with him, here how can the chinese behave in a situation of russian aggression against us, the chinese are playing as much as possible their game, they remain in this middle position when

officially, beijing does not help the russians. because let's remember that back in march of last year, the russians asked them for ballistic missiles, operational-tactical level drones , dual-purpose goods, a huge number of microcircuits, china did not provide any of this, but the north koreans, who are essentially chinese proxies, began to provide shells. well, vassals , frank vassals, china crushes them, feeds them and preserves the existence of north korea, korea as such, that is why china began to hand over this to north korea without risking it, then we saw dozens. companies that started selling, well, already selling their tigers to the russians, these new armored vehicles and so on , the reaction of the americans did not take long, they imposed sanctions on all these companies, additional sanctions on north korea, and unfortunately, this is not replicated in our country, but of the 15 companies that the americans discovered, the sanctions turned out to be so strong that five have already gone bankrupt, and these were international-level technical companies, and blinkin said this when he was in beijing last year, that is, the americans, while

the chinese are playing this double game, they clearly say. "guys, girls, we are adults, we see what you are doing, let's face it , if you do not do anything at the official level , if you do not change the situation radically, we continue to trade, we continue to communicate, these are your private companies, so we we will strangle them so that you don't even think about it, but as soon as full-fledged military support for russia begins, they talked about it last year, repeated it, the sanctions will be similar to the russian ones, and this threat sanctions keep china from , let's call it an official..." position in russian aggression against ukraine. but we understand that the chinese, they are not just you know, there are some capitalists, imperialists, they are communists first and foremost, and we understand that they have issues of ideology, we understand that relations with russia and north korea are not only about money, not only about resources, it is a certain vision of the world, so through the prism of beijing, we literally have one minute. yes, to be very brief, you are absolutely right about ideology,

but the chinese are realists and from a realistic point of view in my view, their army has not... finished modernization, they need at least two more years to modernize the armed forces and most importantly - the nuclear armed forces, but after that they will be able to practically implement their ideological views, so far we see a more cautious, more balanced, but everything china is just as dangerous. thank you very much, oleksandr kraev , an expert of the ukrainian prism foreign policy council, was currently working in our studio, we understand that it was not possible to cover all the issues, but the analysis is extremely high-quality, so let's hope that in the near future: mr. oleksandr will be with us on one or another connection, and zaporizhia ova meanwhile refutes the fake that the russians are already building a railway from rostov to crimea, the head of zaporizhia ava stated this at a briefing at the ukraine inform media center, that's the name, the name chief, then i will say, i will quote, the enemy usually constantly informs

about such routes, or so recovery, or rather this circle, we know that so far - that it is on paper, there are preparatory works, but nothing more , well somehow it became easier, on today i have everything, leave it with the espresso tv channel, my colleagues have prepared a lot of different interesting programs, watch espresso, and have a good evening. news time on the espresso tv channel, in the studio of iryna koval, i greet all viewers, and we begin with information from the kherson region: russians have fired artillery at
