banderamobiles are like that, the situation it is very dynamic at the front, everything changes, let's say, not by the day but by the hour, if you take the southern direction and the eastern direction. then two altogether of various wars, now it was practically a war of drones, our guys are becoming ace aces in canvases, and the need for, say, one unit, conditionally, say, 30 drones a month, one drone a day, yes. the benefactors of the foundation have already collected new requests from the military, among the most necessary, fpv drones and vehicles. the help heroes of ukraine charity organization was founded by ukrainians living in chicago. the foundation cooperates with the armed forces of ukraine. during more than one and a half years of full-scale war , benefactors sent military equipment for about 61 million dollars. the fund has already fully equipped more than 20,000 soldiers.

we are on the air again, dear friends, and this is our final hour for today, andriy seichuk and leysya vakulyuk, let me remind you that we are working for you today, and in the final hour we will talk a little about politics, international and ukrainian, of course, we will start with international and let's start with viktor shlinchak. chairman of the board of the institute of world politics and editor-in-chief of glavkom publication. mr. viktor joins us. congratulations, mr. viktor. joe biden called xi jinping a dictator. and xijin pin took it and was offended, because china has already reacted to the ministry of foreign affairs of china, saying, how come, why? mr. victor, how would you like xi jinping's visits to

the united states of america for the first time in six years by a chinese leader, two such two civilizations that oppose each other, well, actually this insult to the dictator, what to be offended really? the question is rhetorical, you are right here, the fact is that i just specially rewatched it yesterday, the visit of sdniepinnia. when he was hosted by president trump, which were frequent, along with the fact that, as you remember , president trump has always come out with such a rather harsh anti-china policy, with quite such harsh anti-china statements, moreover, he talked about how the united states of america would, in fact... to destroy china in all markets, how they will create competition, and actually

trump's policy anticipated this, it is clear that now xi jinping's visit to china is primarily related to economic issues, and here it is necessary to remind your audience that we are talking about a meeting of the leaders of the countries with the two largest economies in the world. ugh. if the united states of america has about 25% of the world's gdp, then china is approaching 19%. and the task of china is still economic, to be the second, the balance, the second pole of the world, which can sit at the same negotiating table with the president of the united states of america and lead conversation for two, in fact, this was

demonstrated during the inaugural speech of sydzenpinnya, when he first spoke about the bipolar world. and that's why this meeting, this meeting, just confirms what china is striving for. he is not going to share this table with anyone else, he really has his own philosophy... and his own, his own approaches, calculated for decades ahead, uh, on the other hand, he, this, this chinese world, he, will claim to expand their spheres of influence, and to cooperate with those countries with which it will be beneficial for them to cooperate in economically, you remember how the minister of china... traveled to all the countries of the european union in order to collect markets, and this is understandable, because the market, even

the same russian federation with 100 million consumers, is too small for china, for china, we need wider markets, wider influences, income to the state treasury, because after covid, after all , china has... a slightly weakened position in the economy in the economy, growth of 2.3% annual gdp, which is provided by the official side of china, but you need to understand what the economy, as well as politics, is in china, which is characteristic of dictatorial regimes, it is closed, that is, we can trust this figure, we can not trust it, however, it is not the 7.8% that china demonstrated, demonstrated in prewar times, so it is important for china now in the first place

to establish all economic ties, to prevent the breaking of economic chains and, first of all, to strengthen our own economic capacity, which will be a measure for the third term of the sit-in within china itself, and for us there is something good from this meeting, which we, which we profit from their meeting, well, look, i don't want to injure anyone there right now, but ukraine is still not at the center of the agreements of these two countries, because in this way we influence in a certain way part of the agenda, but we are definitely not the epicenter of what what they discussed, i think that in this case it was generally about the fact that the world should be controlled, and

this world should be at least somehow predictable, despite the fact that we have entered into such a difficult place. is even twenty years of chaos possible, when so many things are so difficult to explain and which do not fit into logic, well, no one could have predicted that russia would take such a step when, in fact, it would nullify all international agreements and international law in the sense that it existed there in the early 2000s, would cease to exist in principle, i.e. right now, the right of force, as russia shows, it is dominant, huh, and in that sense, of course, that there is such a temptation for china to also demonstrate the same, the right of force with regard to taiwan, at the same time, i don't think they

will risk it now for such and such to go this way, because they understand that it is very will hit the economic prospects hard again, and actually now the economy is in the first place for china, and what kind of signal does this meeting give for putin, joe biden, i was already joking, i think even on your air, that putin all the time wants to sit on an elegant chair at this table where they are sitting. two leaders of the world's largest economies, but taking into account the fact that the economy of the russian federation, well, for comparison, it is 2% of world gdp, well, where is the competition, yes, this, this is the first moment, on the other hand, well, such a large territory, an empire that has always

claimed to sit at this table. er, i think that this is the biggest blow for putin, and this is the biggest blow for putin, because he decided in his head that he would divide the world into three, that he would sit next to with these two letters, and they will paint the world map, just like it was in yalta at the time after the second world war, and they will paint. zone of influence, this does not happen, moreover, i think that for sitting putin's regime is only a tool, because in the competitive struggle with the west, russia plays the role of, you know, a stick that

puts its, i repeat, stick in the wheel. for the western world and exclusively from this point of view, that is, russia for china is , well, an object, let's say, and not a subject of relations, this has already become clear in the last year and a half there, and as putin is now conducting themselves in front of sidzenpiny, well, they have already started this even in russia. uh, to estimate that it is similar to what you, to some vassals er, russia's relations with china, so, of course, xi jinping, i think that he can influence putin in what aspects,

well, relatively speaking, in order not to destroy the world order that is being created now so that putin really does not even thought of using nuclear weapons, but can xi jinping now put so much pressure on putin to stop the war in ukraine, i 'm not sure yet, at the same time, i think it's becoming, well, such a dilemma for china now, what, for example, to give as a gift to the same president biden, because it seems to me that it is more profitable for china to continue the presidency of biden than the arrival of president... trump, who, i repeat, has always been quite harsh in relation to the relations between the united states and china, and quite harshly

made decisions, individual decisions regarding the blockade of certain chinese goods , that they entered the american market, so it seems to me that here there can be, well , a more... broad map of mutual assistance, in this case, it will be a situational kind of help, in this case really, then china must to help biden emerge as a winner in the russian-ukrainian war, or at least to influence it, well, that’s how i fantasize right now, i don’t have such data, but i proceed from some logical things, and in this way, to demonstrate that biden is a person

, which is capable of influencing such conflicts, but is china interested in the united states strengthening itself in the long term, no, of course, but lately we hear that somehow it is getting harder for america to provide aid to ukraine, but here germany unexpectedly became more active, and yesterday frank walter steinmay, a name known to ukrainians since the time of the full-scale invasion, who tried to somehow reconcile us with russia there and wanted even there, if our viewers remember the steinmeier formula, said that elections should be held in the occupied territories, well, in a word, he had all kinds of strange visions, now when you hear him, you think, my god, this is the same frank waltersteinmay, it really is him, what happened to him, because he says that putin will not wait for germany forgot about ukraine and says that ukraine needs our support, even more so, now that there is also a war in the middle east, the war in

ukraine no longer receives the attention it so badly needs, putin is counting on the world to forget about ukraine , what happened to germany, what happened to frank walter steinmeier, in particular the president of germany, well, germany, you remember. how does she progress in her views, from the 5,000 helmets they were trying to hand over there in one month to the really big military aid, it's psychological, i would said bezlam, because there were a lot of people in german society who remembered the war, and this pacifist attitude in general... to the war, it also played a role in the position of certain politicians, now with this, it is already more clear, here

now the opposite is not clear with russia, that is, when in russia, i will remind you that for 70 years, or more than 70 years , they talked about the fact that war is bad, ugh, but now they began to tell that war is good, that war - this is a new reality and actually... not that russia is at war, the vast majority of the population supports it, despite all these losses, and despite these troubles that are happening inside the russian federation, that is, it is a psychological, social, and i don't even know, genetic kind of breakdown that took place in the russian federation itself, as for germany, then here really, i think that happened here ... there has been coordination between the united states of america, within the nato bloc, so that there are not these gaps in

the arms rate, we understand that there are some difficulties now with how the united states of america can provide us with weapons, respectively europe has picked up initiatives for this period so far, and this inspires hope that we will at least not have a gap, large supplies of weapons to ukraine, by the way, speaking of germany, there is a huge scandal in germany now... such a scandal, there is a lot to it is of media attention, due to the fact that one of the leading german journalists , tv journalists, leading experts on russia, the author of books about putin, interviews, a figurehead, even with putin, hubert seipel, who was often accused of excessive sympathy to putin, but who is he? explained this with his somewhat idealistic and naive pacifist view, it turned out that

this person, who at least received 6,000 dollars or euros from one of the oligarchs close to pro-putin, and now it is a huge scandal, thomas ilves, in particular, the president of the former estonia wrote that the west, who so often accuses ukrainians of corruption, has schröder, also has fillon francois, and has , in particular, another proof of existence. dirty russian funds that bribe politicians and journalists in the west. i will remind that also, one of the presenters, from tv from an american tv channel, now also works for the russian audience, who is such an ardent supporter of trump, and he is also a newcomer,

so very well-known, a former presenter. fox, on certain thoughts, and here actually, for me there is no, no discovery in this, really russian propaganda, has always not been stingy with money, i think that for e, that is, now we are losing the myth in general that conditionally saying, if we talk about journalism, that western journalism is so clean. eh, that's a lot have been talking for years, and unfortunately, if we are talking about the standards of journalism, well, excuse me, the latest articles that refer to a bunch of unnamed sources, to a bunch of anonymous channels, or unidentified persons, this is also not exactly about the journalism that we have in our 20s that's why they put it as an example, there is literally

a minute left. at the end of this past week, and actually in the guardian, the opinion of the ex-leader, ex-leader of nato and anders fokrasmun appeared that, if ukraine cannot return all its territories in the near future, nevertheless, nato can at the next summit, for example, which seems to take place next summer, already offer ukraine real options for joining nato, even without the return of territories, to which maria zakharova, the russian ministry of foreign affairs, has already stated that this is an unacceptable option, commenting on his words, and president zelensky, again , and dmytro kuleba too, the head of the ukrainian ministry of foreign affairs confirmed that ukraine will never agree to any options other than the return of all its territories. there are some options, when, when, when the shadow of this

war will begin to be seen. there are a lot of claims about some kind of talks, but i will tell you frankly, i don't believe it , because i don't have any argument to say why putin should go to these talks, for him, the end of next year and the 25th year will be just such a window of opportunity if there is a change of power in the united states of america. moreover, for the coming years, it seems to me that the next year and the 24th and 25th years in general , elections will be held in 70 countries, that is, you you can imagine the scale of the general reboot of the world...
