former head of president yushchenko's secretariat, co-founder of the "honest glory to ukraine" movement. mr. oleg, i congratulate you. glory to the heroes, and from death we all know who. well, the key. the history of the united states, republicans with democrats or democrats with republicans could not invade the most important thing, in particular , it is about our interests, well, in ukraine we have to... focus on exactly that, yes, well, and on a casual basis i would like to ask you what the prospects are for still get this question, we understand, you can connect it with mexico, you can connect it with the american election campaign, but on the way out, except for anxiety about this, i have nothing. yes, there are reasons for anxiety, and there are reasons for optimism, i always try to look for the light at the end of the tunnel, because otherwise you program yourself, well, as they say, despair is a great sin, well... first of all, what it is not yet evening, no one predicted that the vote will take place at the beginning of december, everyone said that

it will be, as they say, under the christmas tree, there under christmas, secondly, that it was proposed a package that did not include the arrangement that the republicans so desired, well , if it were walls, the question is not the same, many of us perceive, oh my god, let's give them a lamb, he will build you a wall, but... but the question is not about the wall, questions about immigration policy, that is, the republicans claim that during the period of biden's presidency, somewhere they received approximately 9.5 million, well, illegal through this hole on the southern border, they received so many illegal refugees, and that's it, immigration policy biden is it his narrowest place, out of everyone there, you know, they evaluate him... economic things, so only 25% of americans support biden's immigration policy against the background of these

allah akbarites who are now chasing around the world, then you know that there is simply an increase in anti-immigration sentiments, and the democrats need to take this into account, the republicans feel that they have an opportunity now to see through this issue, but the republicans perfectly understand the price of not supporting ukraine and even more so israel, because... what is happening now, they tried, the democrats tried to introduce the bill, where there is no border arrangement issue, this package did not receive enough votes even for discussion, 49 votes were in favor of discussion, 50 were against, and two democrats voted against, one technically, as they say, the card did not vote, and the other sanders is such an interesting personality in the history of american democracy, he is a democrat, but in fact he is... a talker, a marxist, a leninist, such, but also a billionaire who

tried to become president several times, so here we are the stage has passed, where i see some compensators, as viktor yusenko once said, where do we find these compensators, in what is happening, in my opinion, it was also on your channel in the news feed that they agreed on the joint production of weapons, i read that the white house has assigned a special representative to our ministry. are there any strategic industries or something, well, before it was a ministry that dealt with the military industry, and this is really a very unusual event, because it was a dream, in particular mine, with volodymyr ogrysko, ex-minister of foreign affairs, when we were at nako a few years ago, we tried very hard to convince the american ambassador and representatives of the state department that it is necessary to establish joint projects together with ukraine, because we have a huge potential of the military industry, when we were there to see it... certain of our factories are engaged in production there were helicopters and parts were sold to china,

well, when we talked to the representatives, they said, well, what should we do, we have one market, we have a market over there in russia and china, the americans don’t let us into their market, the fools they don't let their market in, which is easy for us collapse of production, well, besides these obvious problems, there was the main problem, this is the problem of trust, this is the transfer of technologies. and now i hear for the second day that we are talking about the transfer of technologies, that we are remaking our launchers, but here there is a moment, we do not have that much time, we understand that we will need money, quickly and in large quantities, and we will need weapons in particular, because while we are adjusting production, the few billion dollars left at the bottom of the american aid cubes, yes, and actually , what will we enter with if... the new year is not too favorable, well, first of all, that we are there somewhere, well, to be honest, we will still be

there until the end of january, yes well, on average, we will not die of hunger, secondly , european partners, not the americans, are sharply increasing their activity, and we also see this from the germans, the netherlands, and other nato member countries, slovaks, poles and so on, and the poles. by the way, they are also hungarians, hungarians, just different initiatives, different activities happen, no matter how much it is mocked by the european union, it is clear that not everything is so simple, well, but. but no, it's not the poles who are delaying our military aid, well, again , i look at how ours already made me smile, how ours began to drive trucks along the railway, so and so and there's still a week left to change the government, i.e. , a lot will change in our country by the new year, but even the pentagon has its fire extinguishers, remember

the story when the pentagon calculated something there, says: oh, yes, we estimated something wrong here, in there are 6 billion of us. turned out to be still in reserve , it’s still a little bit, that is, we, i mean, we will not have a break, there will not be this famine, which they scare us with, there will not be a military and technical famine, this does not mean that we are relaxing, but eh, well, it is difficult, it is almost impossible to imagine that in reality american legislators will simply accept and refuse military aid to ukraine, israel and taiwan, i.e. rather than... all this is hinted at and said, i even read somewhere that there are already signals from the white house that the democrats are also ready to make certain concessions, in particular, it says that let's let these conditional mexicans who come from that side, let their applications for political asylum be considered on that side, not send them here, that they are already on the territory

of the united states, and that would be an option that is acceptable to the republicans, there used to be such a scheme, it was just... then trump kept it, but the democrats softened it, so they have to agree, they just have to agree, certain concessions are needed from the side. a procedural moment, the fact that the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi should have been included and was not joined this rather hot american political party. on the one hand, we understand that it is unlikely that he achieved anything, on the other hand, if it was already planned, then it was worth talking or what? knows him better, you understand, i think that he mainly relied on the opinion of our embassy and our ambassador markarova, who obviously had information that they did not agree, if the president undertakes something, then there must be a result, or are we talking about speech, are we talking about a trip there, let's say the president,

it used to be that putin used to wipe yanukovych's feet, when yanukovych went to moscow, told all of ukraine that... i will bring a normal agreement, the price of gas there and returned empty -handed, well, before it was equated to a declaration of war, wasn't it it is possible to humiliate the heads of state, therefore, most likely, this is absolutely the same information about the fact that they did not agree, that the republicans will not vote not because ukraine, but because there is no issue for them, and probably the advice was to wait until they reach some kind of compromise , i don't comment on it otherwise, and if i am there conditionally... if i were there, if i had any voice or influence there, i would also not advise our president to go to an event that will definitely end in failure. and convince our american partners? yes, well, we understand that something needs to be done, we understand that the republican-democratic confrontation will continue, because america is entering election mode, and

the brownian movement of our delegations begins, we begin to enter the work mode, accelerated. we are starting to try to work with the americans, but the kuleba is not there, no, no i saw the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine during another visit of our high-ranking officials. these are amazing features of how the ukrainian government is organized, and it is very difficult to perceive in the white house. i have already said that zelensky was explained more than once that there should be a functional government in ukraine. that there should be executive power, and the center of executive power is not bankova street, it is not yermaki and yarmachat, but it is the prime minister, ministers, in particular foreign policy - this is the ministry of foreign affairs, when there are any deputies of yarmak they say that it is written in the constitution that the president directs foreign policy, it is written so, and in order for him

to carry out his foreign policy, he appoints and dismisses the minister of foreign affairs, this... is separately stated in the constitution, therefore, when there is a ministry of foreign affairs, no deputies of the yermak or yermaks can replace it, this is wildness, and i don’t know about this, i don’t know what words zelensky needs to explain it, and this is a weakness, if you ask me , what needs to be done, now zelenskyi needs to demonstrate that he understands it, and it is necessary to derail the situation with... the military and it is necessary to demonstrate this unity, this is what zelenskyi can do, he can show that they understood the depth of the problems and the depth of the threats, a long time ago there was already a question of releasing all of them. the noise and the tatars, well , that’s what we’re talking about, the americans openly told me about it, that it was almost not agreed upon, but it was before the start of the israeli war, i

don’t know why it’s being delayed, but now here it is when we are already being pushed, the truth must be determined for sure ukraine, dear friends, is this some kind of reincarnation of these dear friends, the question is actually very serious, it cannot be like that, and this is certainly known to our european and american partners, so zelensky will have to... to make a decision, if you ask me what to do, then now it is necessary to demonstrate the ability to fulfill promises, when they wrote us a letter from the white house, it was three months, somewhere, in my opinion, i calculated, somewhere in january, these three months would already end, and there were very specific things in particular, on anti-corruption and other matters, and i think that in the middle of december, god willing, we will receive an invitation before the start of negotiations, but it will be such a rebuke... but champagne and just further work, an immeasurable end and problems will be immeasurable, and with such a construction of the government , it is absolutely impossible to solve these problems, that's why life

simply pushes us there, that if we have to survive, the first thing you can easily predict is that everything will be fine, the worst is ahead, this is my favorite saying, i always heard yushchenko say it, but you have to prepare for this, further it will not be easier for us, in order for us to be able to solve all these problems, we need... a viable stable government and and and the support of society and coherence and, of course , the absence of systemic corruption , which is confined to banking, and these situations, fellow journalists, almost every week described, and that is why we are then surprised that this woman is walking in the west, and they say that she must be refuted somehow, well, there is a tactical story, this is the dismissal or resignation of fyodor venislavskyi. representative of the president in the verkhovna rada from the position held venislavskyi said that he simply does not charge , they say, because it is both a committee and many additional cases, well, but we understand that it was

fedir venislavskyi who actively and openly criticized mariana bezuglu, who in turn criticized the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general valery zaluzhnyi, we understand that this story coincides with the processes you talked about, in particular, the american ones. decision, the president's representative in the verkhovna rada crossed paths several times on the air, and he pleasantly impressed me with his intelligence, mind and such europeanness, so if you take him and maryana, they are just antipodes, and again, if you take him and yermak, they are also antipodes, so this is most likely the solution not so much, i think zelenskyi... only again andriy whispered there, but this indicates that there is no understanding of the seriousness of the situation, it indicates that the forces of good

are winning, the wrong people are being released now, and this is very wrong signals and and and just really it doesn't make things any easier with communications, sends the wrong signal to the same parliament and drives again. zelenskyi already has a bigger angle, because such things are read the way you and i are, most likely western analysts will analyze that a person simply recognized the inadmissibility of direct conflicts between the president and, well, let's say, the military, and for this, for the right things, well it reminds me of the story with our ambassador in great britain, for example, this, this, this, this is a sad story for president zelenskyi, it is very sad. personnel history, which suggests that this is not the direction at all the structure that zelenskyi molded into power,

which relies only on a few of his advisers, and through them others, depending on their loyalty, either get positions or lose them, but which people get positions, that’s what the biguus agency did together with the honest movement, recently they did the analysis of many of yermak's advisers, and the situation there is simple... and it is clear that the further, the more attention will be paid to this, we will still have to make a decision, but why start so much, we already have time, as you and i understand , no, we need quick action, quick decisions and we need to restore trust. we understand that there is a commander-in-chief, there is a commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, there are relevant generals who manage the directions, branches of the army, and so on and so forth, this whole thing must be demonstrated, well, monolithically. we understand that there may be discussions, there may be complex discussions, emotional and so on, but in the west we need certain such impulses, which would be demonstrated by the ukrainian elite in...

the military-political is cemented, first of all it is necessary to clearly understand that for the military it is absolutely unacceptable for the military to act in a non-hierarchical way, that is, relatively speaking, you cannot talk to a subordinate through the head of the commander, it is simply excluded altogether, and therefore, when there is information in the press that, for example, the president communicates with some deputy... of the commander-in-chief, the leaders of the military villages, without his knowledge, this is an absolutely wild, unacceptable situation, and the ukrainian military understands this, and the west definitely understands this. with such methods of communication, it will be impossible to talk about successes. i think, that this will be one of the conditions for the continuation of support to ukraine and the provision of modern types of weapons to ukraine, and further planning is already there.

the next offensive, this will be the very solution to this issue, as you and i will most likely see it there publicly, but zelensky can say that he does not like being pressured, but here the question is not about who loves whom, here the question about whether or not there will be ukraine, and i know that the west can communicate like that, in my time, i have more than once witnessed such very tough, direct conversations, and the ukrainian authorities will have to be ready for this. if we want , let alone demand, this level of cooperation and support, then we have to adjust all our cogs so that we run like a swiss watch, not squeak like old wheels. but please elaborate, please , here are the stories you just mentioned, the way the west, for example, can put pressure on one or another of our presidents or i don't know the prime ministers, how it happens, there are several levels, the ambassadors work first , the ambassadors have a contact there,

if we are talking about political forces, that is... it was conditional there, the motherland, our ukraine , there are other political forces there, ambassadors meet with representatives of each of these political forces, and talk about the need for cooperation, well, in general terms, no one there is literally so pressed that we tell you that you have to do this. in a situation where there was a threat of the disintegration of the orange coalition, my phone simply broke because i was constantly on my mobile phone. in connection with the state department, with the advisers of the president of the united states, who simply persuaded, called to preserve the coalition, but by then it was already too late, by then, between the politicians tymoshenko and yushchenko , the entire territory was simply burned, bridges were broken, and they did not want to leak, by the way, the price, the price we pay enough, if there was no disintegration

of the orange coalition then, if the alliance between tymoshenko and yushchenko had been rejected, there would be no yanukovych, but that is already history, but i was just a witness, i tell you that i know how it is done, but i still know what is happening direct telephone conversations between the president and the president or the adviser and the president, and there there are people, there are some adequate people in the environment of every president, there is a ministry of foreign affairs, there are communication channels, but there are also direct differences. ukrainians now that the whole world is talking about the ukrainian president, yesterday we saw a video online conference of zelenskyi with the leaders of the seven, it is an extremely powerful tool, it was a closed conference, you and i do not know what they talked about there, but i know that they can speak literally in such words, calling for unity, for a demonstration of cooperation before and and i i just saw that in the ukrainian

information space there was talk about the fact that the tension is decreasing, well, everything has passed, we have turned the page, we continue to work, because we have a common big goal, i think that you and i will see these joint greetings again in the new year , and somewhere all these faraway people will start to turn us back, they already reassured us before, we just didn't believe in their reassurance, zelensky needs to demonstrate certain steps, no matter how much he wants it, but it is necessary to demonstrate steps and in no way. .. do not try in any way to do now in the middle of such a decisive stage in the war to create problems with the military, these military do not deserve it and do not like it very much. no, it's just that when you mentioned the orange coalition, its disintegration and so on, that is, there were forces that worked separately under viktor andriyovych, under yulia volodymyrivna, and this whole thing could not stick together, because this or that contractor constantly appeared . now we see from.
