we are talking about ee, you mean, aid to ukraine, i don't really, we are actually talking about the aid that the united states should provide to ukraine, as it corresponds to their, including strategic visions, but obviously due to certain political processes inside. states and due to certain personnel nuances, the decision on the budget for next year is still a big question. we understand the idea of ​​the democrats to still block certain processes and combine them into a single pool, the decision has not been made, and we are not talking about the allocation of any unconscious funds for us for the coming year. well, first, we have to start with what i think is a statement.

president biden's very important statement regarding the war in the middle east and his speech from the white house, from the oval office, in which he practically put israel and ukraine on the same plane, and perhaps even mentioned ukraine more often, emphasizing that the united states, in order for the nazis . of the united states is to provide aid to both israel and ukraine, i.e. in their wishes, the desire of the president of the united states to provide, granted with the decision of the house of representatives and actually the representatives of that sect, maga, the trumpists, who decided to allocate aid to israel and ukraine, they

wanted to play on the absolutely normal feelings of the american administration to provide aid to israel in such. a critical moment in its history when a very brutal war broke out there with the hamas group, but in my view the senate acted extremely wisely and courageously in rejecting this bill, which only preference is given to israel, and now intensive negotiations are underway to return to the project... presented by the president, six billion dollars there, it seems , of which the white house wants to allocate 60 billion for aid to ukraine, and 14 billion for immediate aid to israel, thus

, i think that they will come back and adopt, will be forced to adopt a law, with certain amendments, of course, with certain compromises, but i think that it will be a law in which combined, combined aid to israel, ukraine, taiwan and the construction of the infamous or famous the wall on the border of the united states and mexico, so i think that there will be help, the only question is whether it will be to the extent that the white house has planned, that's a big question, it seems to me that the white house concessions will have to be made, some concessions will have to be made, and certain amounts may be reduced , but there are still some mechanisms for providing additional assistance, and in principle, it seems that we will be provided

with assistance for the 24th year, although it must be said frankly that from fate, the war in ukraine biden's fate and in in his interests, either win the campaign, i mean the war against russia, and the war against hamas, or he will lose the election because, god forbid, it will happen that both campaigns will be unsuccessful, or there will be some third component, combat operations, biden can lose, because now he is already losing to trump in five eu states, key states, where someone must win in order to become president. and tell me, mr. yulia, but still, this is probably some such high-quality suf, when we are talking about the senate

american, i ask you to give the sound a little more, the sound, you can hear it now, after all, when you talked about the american position. senate, can't we, could not see the situation even in the recent past, to block the law on military aid to israel, for the sake of a third country? i think that this is a very serious step , maybe not even very popular there in the united states, because we know what, what importance not only the jewish lobby, but also the whole society, attaches to great political courage. to block this help that provoked people there from many representatives of this pro-israel lobby, because they believe that of course help should be provided immediately, there is no doubt that israel needs help very quickly, this is

a very strong step, and i think that here on the screen my friend is shown , the senator, the leader of the republicans, who is... a huge, great friend of ukraine and they took this step deliberately, and let's remind you that now in the united states it is especially interesting to watch the debates of the republican candidates, i strongly advise all ukrainians, watching this, in fact, the process is fascinating, and at the same time, mr. yuri, the white house confirms that in the field of asia-pacific economic cooperation, we ourselves understand how commendable this meeting will be. san francisco already on november 15, what will be discussed, whether it will be exclusively about economic issues, since they still strongly connect the western world and the east and the understanding that somehow, somehow, in this sense, it is necessary

to get along on a single planet, i think both leaders are present, well you said right what it will be epoch-making. meeting, although it is far from clear that there will be epoch-making results, i think that there will be no dramatic or very serious results. in the early days, but the fact that there will be at least 10 very important issues, which have already been made public, regarding the discussion between the two leaders, this is definitely one of the concerns of china in particular, the restriction of high technology, which has stopped now coming to china from the united states of america, but there will be a question of restoring the connection between the military of both countries, this connection was broken,

suspended, and meanwhile there were very serious incidents that could have led to the third world war, an american b-52 strategic bomber carrying nuclear weapons with a chinese fighter jet that flew within 3 m of this bomber and it is difficult to imagine that happened, if this happened, a terrible incident happened, and the relations between the two countries deteriorated sharply, it is not excluded that even some limited hostilities could begin, well, even such an issue as relations with the philippines will stand on on the agenda, since china encroached on... the philippines, and the united states declared that it will defend not only taiwan, but also

the philippines, its ally, they stand there, of course, the war in ukraine will stand, there are questions in the context of the transfer of the korean people's the democratic republic of arms, russia, and it is known that the white house will ask questions about this, this, this transfer, i think that the best result for us would be if we even started is a strategic ally for him, although the interests of china, in a broad sense, economic interests, interests in general, the division of the world, the sphere of american influence and chinese, uh, obviously, should prevail over it, uh, the union,

temporary, in my opinion, with, putin, and obviously, the work will begin, but of course, china - this is not the kind of country that decides at one summit, the dramatic issue of turning its foreign policy by 180°, if it turns, then degrees... by five to 10, no more. to what extent, in principle, can it be considered that for the american-chinese summit, the issue of the war in ukrainian relations is possible the situation in the far east in general? i think that the number one issue is the vision of the global world, the vision of the bipolar world, which is now being discussed in full seriousness by many analysts, that is , the world is divided between the united states and

china, china is taking a more important place than china, but china dreams of it, although there are very serious problems in china, economic, and there are such views that china itself can fall apart, can be divided into china, mainland china, coastal china, that zone of prosperity, there is shanghai, and so on he is given, not in vain, he needs significant results, and it is obvious that the calculation will be that, at least temporarily, at least for five to 10 years, reconcile with the united states until the moment when china feels that its armed forces are ready

to a global war, and then, unfortunately, the third world war will take place, as american analysts warned, say in the 27-30s, but today it is not in vain, sizhen pinn is going to san francisco, he would not go just like that , in order to... look at this beautiful city and talk to biden, and it is clear that there is a very serious interest in china to... agree on certain points with the united states, and it is clear that the kremlin will be watching this meeting with great concern, mr. yuri, just a few more words with your permission, about the pleasant messages from the european commission, which recommends the european council to start negotiations on

ukraine's accession to the european union. this was stated by ursulana funderlajen at her briefing just a few days ago. in general, the report on the reforms we have implemented will be at the end year, it is already about 90%, supposedly, again, the estimate of the european commission, but, if we talk about specific requirements, then four out of seven. did this week really have some tectonic suf in our movement to join the eu? well, you know, i would say that this tectonic upheaval is going to happen. if it takes place on december 14-15 during the eu summit, to use some metaphor for our progress towards, the european union, of course, a huge event, and once in history, this day when we were invited to wait, this

the dates when the 27 countries of the european union will speak about the possibility of ukraine to let the peace of the european union forward there, i would say that the key is turned, the lock is open, the door is open somewhere, well, a few centimeters, it is not yet fully opened, it is wide open in front of ukraine , but we have to wait until the conversation is very serious. and we know that several countries will master the desire of ukraine to join the european union, well, first of all, it is hungary, but, strangely enough, a situation also arose with poland, regarding certain points that are dangerous, let's say for

polish agriculture, ukrainian competition, today you know that the border is blocked by carriers, thanks to the decision of the european union on the open regime, the provision of those transports and so on, any problems can arise , for which we must be ready, i am not talking about the fact that after we drink champagne, when the eu summit will decide to admit us to this process, the most important thing is the preparation of tens of thousands of documents, various, complex, very, very serious documents, where different positions will be agreed upon, where ukrainian laws must be brought into line with european requirements and so on, these are very serious problems before us,

well, if we really preserve our desire... to become a member of the european union, then we have to overcome these difficulties, but it will take, well, at least, in my opinion, five years, and all these optimistic statements of our vice-prime ministers for a two-year period, well, you know that the vice-prime- our ministers and ministers are quickly leaving the political sphere arenas, rather than they make promises about a very quick period of entry somewhere in the european union, i think that we have a very difficult, very difficult job ahead of us, and we should be aware of this, and another circumstance, very important, is now very active in poland is discussing the issue of ukraine's accession to the european union and what the european union will actually be like, because the european union

, in the opinion of the peace party, at least now, is turning from a union of countries into a country, turning into the united states of europe, and polish, very sharp-tongued, public they call the new form of the european union, after the reform, they call it the fourth reich, they call it the european collective farm, the new german empire, and all the time there is talk of the fact that the 10 main areas of the european union will no longer be... subject to the veto regime, and countries will be forced to listen the vast majority, and the majority is determined by the number of the population

, and germany will become a serious, a force, an absolutely ruling power in this country, well, poland has a very special attitude today's poland to germany, to the possibility, let's say... they do not want to switch from zlotys, which turned out to be a fairly normal currency, to the euro and so on, and they keep writing that it will be necessary to hold a new vote, a new national referendum, because poland, ukraine, moldova and six balkan countries, the western balkans, the european the union is turning into a completely different, different formation, another, let's say, superpower, and this is very serious, we talk very little about it, and i'm not saying that we

need to stop our movement towards the european union due to polish reservations , no we need to become a member of the european union, because without it we are unlikely to be able to overcome our economic problems and restore the economy destroyed by the war, but we need to think today about which union we are joining and what awaits us in the future, thank you, thank you, mr. yuriy, yuriy shcherbak, diplomat, public figure, writer, former ambassador of ukraine to israel, the united states and canada, was a guest of our broadcast. the next guest, guest vadym polishchuk, historian, political commentator from the israeli city of lot, and we will talk, of course, about the situation in the middle east, we congratulate you, mr. vadim, good evening. so, kudos to ukraine, kudos to the heroes, kudos, so let's talk about what's happening in the middle east right now , it just became known that the

israeli defense minister said that hezbollah, a radical shiite organization, is making a serious mistake and that beirut could become the second gas, is there really a probability of the expansion of the war and real battles in lebanon, well, of course, if she dares to attack already on a full scale. then the probability is really there, because a significant part of the israeli army is now located exactly on the north of the country and is ready for any serious provocations, although some of israel's military actions have already solved the hezbollah problem, there are many reasons, because these shellings of israeli territory kill not only military personnel, but also civilians, and in principle, the situation is very tense in the north, rockets, drones, and mortars are used by hezbollah, but israel has so far refrained from a full-scale operation in

the north, and what should i do next? operational area, we usually regularly monitor and see witnesses. that hamas really dug deep, this is very mildly and briefly said, that is, there is a lot of work, and as much as it is actively being carried out now, well, we see that it is already in parts, and israel is somehow trying to surgically solve the problem at first in the middle of the night, and now the operation is already reaching its climax, well, israel itself has not reported yet, but arab sources already say that the operation has begun, precisely in the shifa hospital, this is the heart, precisely of hamas in this sector,

hamas, who remained in the sector, well, leaders, not directly in charge, well , field commanders, let's say this, there are very large warehouses and a lot, if this particular hospital is taken, it will solve... very, very serious problems, because just this node, it was so, well, key in the gas sector, and it was always heard exactly, shifa hospital, shifa hospital, and that's exactly what they are covering there with this civilian population and this hospital, which, by the way, was built at one time by israel, when he controlled it, and built it very well, just right with calculated to make it as safe as possible, these are the first ones, the first ones are the underground levels that are there, it was built by israel, and only then did they start digging there in depth and to the sides, but please tell me, after

all, mr. vadim, we are talking about the elimination of hamas, we are really saying that the huge number of field commanders in gaza is one story, and the leadership of hamas, the politburo of hamas, it is located in qatar, it is located in other arab countries, to what extent can hamas be destroyed, when the leadership hamas exists and can get busy by recruiting new supporters immediately after the end of any operation, how to prevent the restoration of power by hamas ghazi, when the real leaders of hamas are next to the leaders, we see ismail haniyeh, hanya, next to the arab leaders, khaled mashal, saw the hamas delegation in moscow, this not the people who are in the gaza strip, these are the people who live in qatar, how can we change the situation here, well, we see that hamas is not only present in gaza, it is also present in samaria, for example, but

due to the fact that israel still allows him to roam there, because what, what was the very dangerous gaza, that in fact, hamas had unlimited power there and had the opportunity to do anything and capitally, here are all the fortifications, here are all underground levels, these are all rockets, there, whole complexes like this are underground, they have been doing them for years, so that israel was conducting some bombardment there, they could not solve this problem. and how, if israel will control the gas sector, well, even if there are some hamas lichens, someone will go there, infiltrate somewhere, it will no longer have such consequences, there will be no rocket attacks , there will be no such propaganda, which was there in those schools when children were raised there from an early age to hate the jews, and the only thing they what they dreamed of was to start until the time of the igil, that is, when

the igil was left without territory, when the former iraqi military, who were in charge , were actually knocked out
