the united states of america and the european union. our guests today are metiu bryza and valery chaly. bryza, ex-adviser of the state secretary, will be working on the air of the tv channel now. of the united states, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the us national security council. glory to ukraine, mr. ambassador, i congratulate you. glory. what is happening in the world, what is happening in washington. we simply do not have time to react to extremely different and sometimes contradictory signals. on the other hand, we feel that the kremlin is celebrating. yes, they are preparing to prolong the war, and they feel a certain weakness in decisions from the side of what is called a collective action. and we in... are extremely worried, in particular, it is not only about the supply of weapons, but also about money, the ukrainian budget depends too much on american aid. the situation in washington is something completely unexpected for me, and based on our previous conversations with you, which i really always

love and appreciate, it is something completely unexpected for the political elite in washington, because the support for the continuation of military and financial aid... in ukraine has a lot strong in congress, so what happened was that a small group of extreme republicans, supporters of trump, the so-called mag group, was able to politically blackmail president biden. like, okay, we know you want this help for ukraine, maybe we do too, but we won't give it the green light until you agree to what we want, which is to protect america's southern border. we are talking about the borders of ukraine and we want to protect them? yes, but let's secure the us borders first. i think it's ridiculous, irresponsible, and damaging to america's reputation in the world, but this is our reality. dear mr. ambassador, what signals

are sent from the kremlin to washington, and who, for example, does putin signal to in washington besides trump, and how strongly does this generally affect american aid to ukraine? putin is very happy, he said the other day during his big press conference, which he missed last year because russia was not performing well on the battlefield. he held a big conference this year and said he was sure russia would win the war because the united states will lose patience in supporting ukraine. i think he's wrong, and the republicans who are causing this political mess about aid to ukraine will suffer politically, but ukraine is not better off, so this big political mess in washington is a big gift to putin, firstly, because he harms ukraine's ability to continue its offensive, and secondly, because it also undermines the leadership of the united states in the world

and our ability to be the so-called leader of the free world, and this is the most shameful moment for of american foreign policy that i can recall in my entire adult life. mr. ambassador, i take your forecasts and your assessments of the situation extremely seriously, and accordingly i would like to ask you now to answer honestly what you think ukraine should expect from the united states in the next couple of months. does mr. biden have a plan b? biden has no plan b, what should he do? and i hope that... what he will do is agree to what the extreme republicans want, which is to change his administration's immigration policy on the united states' southern border with mexico and to allocate more money for the southern border. i am not

pessimistic about whether aid will come to ukraine or not. i am concerned about the timing, as the negotiations will continue for several weeks. knowing president biden, i think that in the end... he will accept this kind of political blackmail and give the republicans what they demand in terms of securing the us border with mexico in order to get this aid for ukraine. this is a terrible precedent in american domestic and foreign policy. but i think that biden will eventually give in and ukraine will receive this money. the only question is when it will happen. yes, mr. ambassador, quite alarming signals are also coming from the other side, in particular, it is about various military personnel. political and expert circles who say that ukraine should prepare for what? to deep, deeply echeloned defense, this means that we may not receive extremely important offensive types of weapons, additional, yes, on which we very much hoped for, and

accordingly, we also understand from the other side that the united states, well, maybe does not want to raise the degree of escalation, maybe certain consultations took place in third countries, maybe with the help of... viktor orban, maybe with the help of chinese comrades , yes, well, where was it said, for example, that the quick allocation of f16 to ukraine can fundamentally change the situation. as for me. the biden administration does not care at all what the chinese or viktor orbán say. orban is generally disliked in washington, because what he is doing is clearly pro-russian. who knows what kind of corrupt connections are behind this, but he clearly does not enjoy the trust of washington. in some ways, even worse for my country, what is happening is just subtle. tical case of blackmail by the extreme wing

of president trump's gop, which has, quite frankly, destroyed the political party i once loved. this is not about strategy, but about a terrible example of the domestic political dysfunctionality of the united states, but i i am sure that ukraine will receive f-16 and longer-range missiles. and it's a shame that the biden administration has lasted so long. is delaying ukraine's request to provide these weapons, if they had provided them at the beginning, the situation on the battlefield would have been completely different, and of course, in favor of ukraine. well, literally this thursday, putin spent several hours in a row telling his fellow russian citizens how cool he is, how he manages to implement all this, in particular, russian aggression against ukraine, and he did not give any adequate signals that he is... ready, yes so to speak, enter into negotiations at different levels, at least in the public part

it was not discussed, your vision in general of a possible large diplomatic connection? at the moment i don't think so, xi jinping is trying to strengthen his partnership with president putin to weaken the united states globally, and what is happening between xi jinping and putin is similar to what is happening in the united states congress with the republicans . , precisely because biden wants this support for ukraine. extreme republicans oppose it, as well xi jinping, who would welcome an end to the war, wants to undermine the leadership of the united states and biden's leadership in the world. that is why he is going to stay with putin. having said that, i believe that sindzhinpin, like erdogan here in turkey, would like to see the war end, but by...putin, not push him into negotiations. instead, he is willing

to push ukraine into negotiations to give up its sovereign territory while weakening the united states. unfortunately, it is. anthony blinken says about unwavering determination. president biden speaks of resolute steadfastness. but who will pay the required amount into our budget. money , so we understand that it is not only about supporting our military, and in general it is about the macroeconomic stability of our state, and i see several problems, well, accordingly, if a big debate begins in the united states, which could end, for example, with a decrease in funding for of ukraine, in your opinion, how actively will paris and berlin be ready to work to support us, i.e. at what level, 100%, 120% or 60%? the council of europe is currently debating money for ukraine, which viktor orban is blocking.

it is about 51 billion euros or so. i think he will give in eventually. orbán always behaves unstrategically in relation to the transatlantic community and selfishly, i.e. only for himself, only for hungary. so he will either give his consent, along with other eu members, to the provision of financial aid. aid to ukraine, or he will have no choice if individual member states decide to do so. however it is quite obvious that many eu member states are going to provide aid to ukraine, regardless of what viktor orban says. as you have already mentioned, among them are germany, france, great britain, although it is not a member of the eu, but will provide assistance, as well as the countries of northern europe. president zelenskyy visited oslo the other day, and the leaders of the northern european countries declared. that they will provide ukraine with the help it needs, i believe the united states will also

provide it, it is just not politically possible for the united states to stop its support of ukraine, they are delaying it because of these pointless internal political debates, which i have already mentioned. i don't want to play a big conspiracy theory, but if there are forces in the west who want to hear, so to speak, putin's idea, to stop funding ukraine, and then, say... the war will end, it makes me feel creepy, yes, i'm afraid, that there are certain environments, and it is on them that putin broadcasts his false signals and his propaganda, if we talk about... in general, the stability of the west in the ukrainian issue and in the issue of russian aggression. as i said, in the united states there are extreme republicans who support trump and who support anything against biden, and they will never change. in addition, throughout the transatlantic family, both in the us and in europe, there are unknown political

figures who receive bribes from russian services in exchange for advocacy. russian positions, and we increasingly hear about such cases. i'm not saying that any american politicians are taking money from putin, but it's definitely happening in europe, and maybe it's happening in the united states as well. i am trying to say that in after all, not only the morality, correctness and strength of ukraine's struggle, which is its survival, will ultimately unite all of us in the transatlantic community to provide ukraine with the necessary assistance. but the strategic imperative will also push us in this direction. there are those who argue that by destroying so much of russia 's military capability, ukraine is obviously not only doing a difficult, horrific, and deadly job of increasing security for us all, but also making it less likely that russia will go after ukraine and attack

nato territory. smart people realize this, and we just need a little time to figure it out. with this ridiculous campaign politics in the usa. what is being said in washington about general zaluzhnyi and what, for example, could president zelenskyi and president biden discuss among themselves? it seems to me that the scandal surrounding general zaluzhny's use of the term " stalemate" not only in washington, but also in ukraine, fuels the debate about whether president zelenskyy is giving an unrealistically positive... assessment of the situation on the battlefield. social networks are really good sources of information about ukrainians for the us and its allies. and it is clear that now the counteroffensive is not advancing on land, although it is in the black sea. ukraine's creativity, its sea and air drones really caused a lot of damage to the russian black sea fleet, forcing

it to relocate away from ukrainian territory to novorossiysk. meds are not talking about this story loudly enough. but in reality, the russians managed to dig in their defensive positions, making sure that there were much harder to dislodge. at the end of the day, we in the west are not helping ukraine properly because we still haven't given ukraine what it has been asking for for so long, namely the f-16 fighter jets and longer range missile systems that are absolutely necessary for ukraine's success. therefore , i believe that it is important for president zelensky to be as honest as possible. with the ukrainian people, with the united states and our nato allies, that ukraine is fighting bravely and effectively, and no nato military would even dare to do what ukraine is doing without air superiority, which means that ukraine should get f-16 and longer-range missiles. prospects for the introduction

of lendlease as a certain insurance mechanism. i hope that american law has already done. all the necessary steps so that, in the event of something, start lending us weapons. i think it is possible. this is how the political situation in the usa developed a year ago. but now, as we enter the crazy circus of the presidential election race in the united states, things are becoming unpredictable. and it depends on negotiations like the ones we talked about. about biden's change in his policy on the protection of the southern border of the united states. in exchange for the agreement of extreme republicans to help ukraine. so at this point, god only knows what will happen. you remember, a few months ago we talked with you, mr. borkovsky, and i said that the fate of aid to ukraine largely depends on who will be elected as the next speaker of the house of representatives of the us congress. then it was about two

candidates and neither of them was elected. and he became the speaker of the house of representatives. mike johnson, an ardent supporter of president trump, who is determined to force biden to take such a politically humiliating step and change his us immigration policy in exchange for supporting ukraine. and this struggle, unfortunately, will continue for the next few months. thank you very much, mr. ambassador bryza , for this honest and extremely informative conversation on the air of the tv channel . glory to ukraine and glory as a hero. channel espresso and ukrainian pen presents the project own names with myroslava barchuk. a series of conversations with

ukrainian and western intellectuals who analyze and comment on the most relevant social debates. we will find out exactly what news the guests of the project will analyze this week and who will be the guest of the studio this sunday. undoubtedly, the topics will be relevant, the guests - special. proper names with myroslava barchuk. sunday, 17:10 at espresso.

valery chaly, the former extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine to the united states, will now be on the air of the tv channel. deputy director of the presidential administration for international cooperation, congratulations to ukraine, mr. ambassador, i congratulate you, congratulations, congratulations, we want to sum up the dry summaries of president zelenskyi’s visit, and this story is not about the formal visit of our president, this is about very specific decisions that were made or were postponed by the american administration, well , first of all, the dates that were in the request of the ukrainian side were not initially accepted by the partners in... biden did not have time for a meeting at that time, well, it happens, but the desire was precisely synchronized with the implementation of the form of defense cooperation between ukraine and the united states of america, which was

logical, because the military-industrial lobby in the united states can influence, could and can influence the situation, because 90% of all funds from the military budget, what is sent to ukraine, they stay in the united states, then... that is , they work for the us economy, they create jobs, they go for technological rearmament, for example, as part of this rearmament of atakams missiles, those that are in service now are replaced by new pirsm missiles, more range and more accuracy, and in principle this was facilitated by the ukrainian program, including that, so i think that all these arguments, well, which did not... led to the visit at that time, they, well, i don’t want them to connect with approaches specifically in the military sphere, rather it would be more desirable for the administration to invite the president of ukraine

for lobbying, pushing the aid package of 61.4 billion. well, it is good that this visit took place, i knew it and they knew it in washington, and but everyone spoke in open text, to no avail volodymyr zelenskyi's visit will not affect this plan. from the congressional point of view, because in congress everything is clear to everyone, there is good news, there is bad news, the bad news is known to everyone, in america there is an election, and it's not just a presidential election, it's a congressional election, i mean the house of representatives fully, and 1/3 of the senate, and you look at the rhetoric, the traditional republicans, they've switched to the rhetoric of just a fringe group that was fringe and is now becoming mainstream. it is, as they said, a small group of maga, about trumpists is there a freedom caucus, no, now this is the main narrative of the republicans before the elections,

unfortunately, because in this narrative, in addition to the delay in helping ukraine, let 's be honest, there is a moment of not providing help to ukraine, and unfortunately, the situation developed precisely in such a plan, therefore the main task of the president of ukraine was to influence the white house. to president biden to, well, thank you for the help that is available and agree on plans for next year, and that plan should consist of three things: first, and i 'm sure this has been discussed, although i don't i have inside information from their meetings between the presidents, but from what was publicly heard at the press conference and actually from their own experience, they discussed the vision of whether there will be success next year in terms of the military, in terms of war. this is the first, it depended on the decision of joseph ben, the second, what needs to be done with the supply of weapons for this success, and it is clear that for this success a completely

different approach is needed, it needs three... it needs several dozen planes at once f-16 platforms , permission, well permission or not objection of the us strikes on the airfields from which we are being struck, this is russian territory , this is rostov-on, this is the part closer to us, this is consent, otherwise nothing will work, that is, a change in philosophy, common strategy and tactics is needed. joint opposition to russian aggression, let's say, the de-occupation of ukrainian territories, and the third is the institutional capacity of ukraine, to what extent the ukrainian state and ukrainian society can withstand the issues of mobilization for war to the ability of the social sphere to work in regime in that regime, that is, the mood of the population and the mood, that is the result, the first

thing i will tell you is the press conference... despite the phrase of president biden, it was said in my opinion, well, for the first time in my memory, that we will work on the victory of ukraine, not as much as needed, for the victory of ukraine. the phrase was good. there were other phrases, well, nato was a very, in my opinion, unsuccessful reaction, a successful reaction of president zelensky, who forwarded this question to president biden, and from president biden's answer , we understood that the question about political, the political question of ukraine joining or being invited to the washington summit next year is currently not being considered in the white house administration, but to ask the question that only after the war, when ukraine will defend itself, you know, because these are talks for the poor, after all, we and are poor in the current situation, so because we understand what our budget tells us, that is, if there is no money from

the european union and... the united states, then there will be, so to speak, but it is not about money , i i want to finish and explain, it says about much more, we have been looking at money in recent months, it is not about money, it is about the position of the usa now, will it be the same as it was before, or will it change radically. so , according to bodylanguage, what happened at the press conference, i really did not like the mood of joseph biden, what caused it, i can from previous meetings with him personally. from what i saw earlier, judging by the fact that the mood was, well, not optimistic, why this happened, i can't say, so my conclusion is the following: two scenarios now, no more different options, there are two scenarios , the first scenario, it is not very optimistic for us, it is that now by accusing the republicans of not providing aid to ukraine, the democrats and joseph biden will hang, well , they will hang politically... on them

will shift the responsibility for the fact that ukraine did not get everything it needs, and thus show that they are unfortunately unable to achieve what could be a victory under such conditions, what jose biden said, this is the first option, and he, unfortunately, i am not him i'm writing it off, it's still there, well, it's not a very good scenario, what does this mean, it means that in a few months, well, by the summer, maybe next year, ukraine will have... the means to conduct further intensive hostilities , and then there will be no more such means of such an intensity of war, in conditions where putin and russia, on the contrary, now see it and want to increase the intensity. and the second scenario, it is also now, i would still hope for it, is that the white house has an understanding of how they can squeeze a funding package for ukraine. and in such a way,

after hearing convincing arguments from the president of ukraine, to go for the correction of the strategy, that is , what i said, after all, next year, maybe not until the summer, maybe later, but to force putin to negotiate, well, that's all two scenarios, everything else is additional elements, that is, some factors that will appear in the next few days will show where, which way this pendulum will swing, and unfortunately, i see, the decision has not yet been made. and this is good, because it can be as positive as possible, and it is bad that in these conditions there is still no final vision. well, who is talking about what, and i am talking about money in this case, and not only about american money, about european money and , in general, about the so-called big game and possibly secret, unannounced coordination in brussels, berlin and washington, this is how it goes in particular, this is what it is about, that is, we received an extremely

powerful geopolitical signal from side'. of the union, the start of negotiations will be discussed.
