thank you to our tireless iryna koval, thank you to the news editor, an important issue, iryna koval, as always, brilliantly presents all the most important, but no less important things, marta oliarnyk and i will voice them during today's broadcast , well, as for work, i am so passionate about work, and today, by the way, we already discussed a little behind the scenes the situation that is now actually worrying many ukrainians, why did president zelenskyy cancel his speech before the senate yesterday, and actually, there is already a lot comments, and in particular our high-ranking officials about this, but the key story is what it will give us, yes, can it somehow play against us in the negative, and this whole story with the fact that zelsky did not speak, and we will try to to speak not alone, but with a diplomat, and we invite oleg shampur, shampa shamshur, shamshur, yes to our conversation. minister of foreign affairs in 2004-5, former ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary

of ukraine to the united states and france, glory to ukraine, mr. ambassador, we congratulate you and thank you for being on this festive day, double you work hard for the viewers of espresso , yes, well, marta voiced the key dilemma, not the speech of the president of ukraine before the senate, and accordingly, in general, what is called, well , in diplomatic language, a mess in the senate, that is, the debate between republicans and democrats, which reached, so to speak, a certain dna , we saw something similar in our supreme council once, yes, well, but still, we did not expect this from the states, i will try to answer your question gradually, if i forget something, you will ask me again, the general situation, in in principle, what you called a barduk, in principle, is not an exception, it is... typical for all parliaments, including the congress of the united states, if we take this situation, it

should be noted that the ukrainian issue, that is, the issue of continuation, provision of aid to ukraine, one of many, important, but not the key issue in the acute political struggle that. in fact, it never stopped, now it has acquired a high degree of acuteness between the republican tamocratic party, respectively, the republican and by the democratic factions in the house of representatives and the united states senate. the republicans decided that now , during the discussion of this package of strategic assistance proposed by biden, they can, and have a chance to implement some of their

political priorities, in the part that concerns the reduction of state expenses, in our case, overcoming the immigration crisis and, in general, reforming immigration legislation, and that's what's at the heart of the debate between democrats and republicans about voting on the package strategic assistance, and in fact , positive or negative, the result for us, the way out of this situation depends on whether the republicans and democrats will be able to reach a compromise, that is, of course, one must take into account... the negative attitude towards ukraine of a significant part of the far-right radical republicans, but

in general the main thing is the political struggle between republicans and democrats, that is , the focus is on reaching a compromise on important issues for republicans, but also for democrats, thus, our opportunity to influence influence on this situation, unfortunately, is quite limited, but i believe that, as in general , one should not be a fatalist, one should try to change the situation to one's advantage, and how can we , ambassador, change this situation to our advantage, because we understand that we in the role of a beggar, it is true on our side, we hoped for this, and the americans also realize how much... we differ on the help that without american help it will not be very difficult, although it is not

easy even now, that is, it is definitely necessary to constantly broadcast this thesis, but if you look at the efforts that we will try to make in the last hours, literally now, in principle, my remark is that it should have been done earlier, and it should have been done systematically. by the way, the same can be said about the efforts of the biden administration. in general, if you look at the situation. it is quite alarming, and there are two weeks left for the work of the congress, this week and next, and if a positive decision is not made for us, it is clear that the situation will become even more alarming, even more difficult, or is it will happen, let's see, but today shumber

announced that he will bring to the vote, a package of strategic assistance, and the republicans can introduce their whims as amendments to this law. it should be noted that yesterday's last attempt to reach mutual understanding during the briefing at the congress ended in nothing, it ended in such a scandalous quarrel, and it is a pity that it did not take place either, our speech did not take place. what i heard as an explanation from our high-ranking officials does not convince me personally, nor, by the way, does my own remarks, dissatisfaction, expressed, expressed by congress, members of the united states senate, that is, on their part, mr.

ambassador, you mentioned, you mentioned dissatisfaction. on the part of some of the american congressmen, so in this context , what exactly is it about, yesterday during this briefing , the speech of the president of ukraine was planned, it did not take place, and the explanations that the senators received, as i understand it, did not satisfy them, that is, they expected to hear the speech of the president of ukraine, how much it could tip the scales, it's hard... to say, but that that such a speech, especially a speech that was already, well, let's say it was reported , to cancel it, i think, was inappropriate, unacceptable said, let me add, senate correspondent andrew 10 derio described the situation on his twitter so that

against the background of the quarrel, the republicans simply left the meeting regarding ukraine, and the fact is that they actually counted on the fact that the general package would include support for ukraine, israel, taiwan and strengthening the border with mexico, but from the final document, which they actually gave it to them as a reminder, the item on assistance to strengthen the border with mexico was thrown out at the last moment, and this is what made the republicans fly away, and they defiantly left the hall, accordingly , there was no point for zelsky to speak in front of the senators, because , well, not all of them were present, well, in particular, the republicans were not present, respectively. they did not see the expediency of his speech, this is the situation, but they say that zelensky will speak next week, and here i would like to discuss, then we already understand that today is the most likely decision will not be adopted because there is no consensus , but what about next week, do you think we have the opportunity and time to convince the senators by next week, those

who, for example, still resist, do not want to vote, or in your opinion, will biden manage to somehow convince, find leverage? because already today, blinken and biden are talking about the fact that if they do not vote for aid to ukraine, it will be madness, well, let's go back to what you said, indeed, some republicans left the meeting hall, and the main thing was that it was not enough, in their opinion, the democrats were not ready to discuss the issues, the crisis at the border and overcoming the reform, this legislation, i did not hear that this is why the president's speech was canceled, and in my opinion, even under these conditions, it was necessary to speak, firstly, secondly, whether the vote will be effective for us, i repeat once again, it depends on whether a compromise will be reached,

first in the senate, but it must be understood that even if in the senate will reach a compromise, then it is still not a fact that this package, this aid will be passed because the position of the house of representatives, where the republicans have a majority and the speaker belongs to the far right wing of the republican caucus, the position is even tougher on immigration reform , and you know there are enough people who oppose the continuation of aid to ukraine, so the main issue is reaching a compromise, at least a compromise in the senate, if there is a result for voting, of course, then a certain window of opportunity opens, but you don't have to to imagine that this window is wide open,

it has just opened, and it will still be very difficult, the struggle, discussion in the house of representatives and achievements, again the need to reach a compromise solution, accordingly , to develop such a legislative act, such a bill that could be. .. adopted by both the us senate and the us house of representatives. mr. ambassador, well, we simply cannot afford this or that proveson in the negotiations with the united states, so i am broadcasting and transcribing your message. i support him and i agree we need to do something urgently now, and maybe you have some i don't know about your assessments of the situation, in particular, your inner ambassadorial, ambassadorial feeling. what should be done in this story as soon as possible, we need to convince a part of the republicans so that they go to serious decisions, it is about a macro-finance for

ukraine, this is a purely subjective, purely subjective opinion, i believe that, again, this it should have been done before, but let's put it this way, what we would like, now we face and have what we have. therefore it is necessary to continue talking to american legislators, we need to talk to the american public in general, and in particular in those districts in which ee, which are represented by those who oppose the continuation of aid to ukraine, and by the way , it is quite interesting that it is precisely in many of these districts that enterprises are located, who are involved in the production of ammunition, military equipment, within the framework of providing assistance to ukraine, that is, there is a lot to talk about, but one should not

expect that this can be achieved only with, say, one speech or a group visit our high-ranking officials , significant human intellectual resources must be involved and ee in the united states with americans, legislators and with the american, i said, in general, people who know how to talk, who know how to talk, who have the necessary contacts, so let's say, i personally was not convinced by the landing from the servant of the people, because it is unlikely that they have the necessary skills and absolutely. most of them do not know in the usa, that is, it must be done, but it must be done once again, systematically, constantly and professionally, in fact, here you are

already partially, we mentioned this landing, let us remind you that the head of the op andriy yermak, the speaker of the council ruslan stepanchuk and the minister of defense rustem umyerov are currently in the united states, you probably already answered the question somewhere, but i still want to clarify, that is, if we understand correctly, this is an insufficient level... of top officials of ukraine, who would have the opportunity and influence to still convince, well, i would say yes, the level is sufficient, if we take positions, in terms of the ability and ability to speak and speak on, in the american mass media, to contact the congressmen , it's hard for me to say anything here, i haven't heard them, i haven't seen them and i haven't even read about it, i hope that uh, they know how to do it, but speaking in general, i was talking about the landing party that sat down from the servant of the people, er

, i think there should have been people here who are known in the united states, or who are directly involved in the defense of ukraine, in defense efforts, who, let's say, represent something of themselves, who can be convincing and convey a convincing story, i honestly did not see this, yes, but you know, here is an interesting question, why, for example , our chief diplomat, our head of the ministry of foreign affairs, for example, kuleba, who should be present there as the chief ambassador of ukraine, markarova, who, for example, i think that markarova is working at her level, we think , markarova was, well, but, that is, we saw it in the photo, but now it is, but in any case... thank you, mr. ambassador, for this analysis, for working for espresso on this holiday, oleg shamshurs , diplomat as deputy minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, former ambassador

of ukraine in the united states of america and in france, well, now, let's take a short break, wait for us. tingling and crawling sensations arise spontaneously and disturb you. the doolgit anti-neuralgia complex helps to normalize the functioning of the nervous system. dolgit antineuralgia helps to return to usual activities, without tingling and numbness in the limbs. capsules dolgit antineuralgia. help your nervous. system, i was flying, flying, and a cough stopped me, a cough is a symptom of a respiratory disease, that's why we treat respiratory, we do inhalation, lordi gial - an inhalation agent for cough, lordegial, a direct way to the removal of sputum. attention, an incredible new product from unpack tv, super warm and very comfortable alaska style boots, perfect fit, water-repellent material and a feeling of warmth even in 30-degree frost. alaska style boots have a universal design and practical black color, so they will suit both
