yes, we also understand that a large number of civilians who, in particular, tried to carry out what is called civilian journalism within the peninsula, even when professional professional journalists were unable to do it, er, and iryna danylovych and mykola semena, we also remember these people , which er, well, actually suffered from the repressive russian machine, an extremely complicated story. and we have to fight for them, for civilians as well, but to look for some options that the russian federation would go for, that is, to put them in an uncomfortable position, it should be our goal. now let's take a short break, mr. iskkender, please, don't disconnect, because there are still several questions that i really want to ask you, in particular, about how ukraine feels about crimea and itself with crimea. and without

actual control over crimea, for these 10 years, the president, the ukrainian military, and our friends from abroad spoke their word this week. formats, even more analytics, even more important topics, even more top ones guests, foreign experts, inclusion from abroad. about ukraine, the world, the front, society, and also feedback, you can express your opinion at any time of the day with the help of a telephone survey, turn on and turn on, the verdict with serhii rudenko, every weekday from 20 to 22 at espresso. we continue the project, razom beraber, a joint project of the tv channel and the tv channel. ttr is with you

khrystyna yatskiv and ayder muzhdabayev, as well as skender bariev, head of the crimean tatar resource center, member of the myjalis of the crimean tatar people, as noted this week there was a lot of talk about crimea, and very aptly, the president actually remarked, and the forum itself is nicely named, on february 26, 2014, the war began in crimea. volodymyr zelenskyy said, today we remember the events that took place 10 years ago in ukraine. to whom crimea, when our peninsula was stolen by russia, and when, together with the russian occupation army , humiliation and abuse of people, repression and fear entered our crimea, this cruel war, which is currently ongoing against ukraine, was born by russian revanchism precisely when it felt that the world is capable to turn a blind eye to such crimes, to such annexations, to such extermination of people whose homes are simply taken away, and here it is very important, in fact, that the ukrainian military and ukrainian representatives of the ukrainian...

special services do not let the topic of crimea out of their attention, i would wanted to listen now to the representative and head of the main intelligence department, kyril budanov, what does he, in particular , advise the population, which remains in crimea? russia lost a quarter of its ships and was forced to withdraw its fleet to the caucasus coast, redeploy aviation, because airfields and military facilities in crimea are constantly under our fire influence. i want to emphasize. we owe our success to the residents of the ukrainian crimea, who not only strengthened their resistance to the occupiers, but also found the opportunity to promptly monitor the entire situation on the peninsula and to transmit this information to us as soon as possible. budanok emphasizes that it is the inhabitants of the peninsula who are the irreplaceable source of information and help later with additional intelligence on the results of the work of the defense forces, all this is done by people who remain in... that's why

kyrylo budanov still persistently warns civilians against using the kerch bridge, i think that purely technologically, together with military analysts and experts, we will analyze more than once whether it is realistic and in what way to really destroy this object, an absolutely unnecessary infrastructure object an object that binds , you know, our crimea and the russian federation, but i think that our defense forces have... their own plan for this, confident in the necessity and reality of returning control over crimea to ukraine, and boris johnson , the ex-prime minister of great britain, apparently , before everyone thought that putin would never give crimea away, they say that it is not worth even trying, so they thought, let's try to help ukraine win back the land bridge, but now people say to themselves, first of all, it is possible , getting crimea back is real, johnson says, and if you look at the infrastructure, the logistics, there are great... opportunities for the armed forces

of ukraine, so i agree, there has really been a change in the way people think about crimea, said the british politician, it would be good to these changes also concerned high-level skills. european sheep, on which the provision of the necessary weapons directly depends, the same taurus would be very helpful in the operation to liberate the crimean peninsula, but of course we are waiting, waiting, we are waiting. mr. iskender, how is the military situation changing on the peninsula, if we can track it in general, we understand that there are civil initiatives, there are paramilitary initiatives that... work in connection with the defense forces of ukraine, for example, and also regularly and not concealing reports that that they transmit information and even integrate into the russian army in order to receive this information, how is the russian military

contingent in crimea changing, are we following this, can we say that those logistical routes are still the main ones for them, or are they already looking for an alternative? well , first of all, i want to say that... that any territory cannot be taken under control without the support of the local population, and therefore, in different wars, different forms were used, including information, intelligence and other for that it would be possible to influence from within , as far as crimea is concerned, pro-ukrainian forces have been here since the beginning of 2014, they remain even now, another issue is that it is very important for us that the number of pro-ukrainian activists and pro-ukrainian citizens remains more, despite the fact that , that partial mobilization continues, that repressions and other actions are taking place, this is very important, because it concerns not only resistance to

during all these years, it also concerns in the future in the processes of reintegration, because without people, without the population , we will be able to do such a reintegration... as quickly as possible, and as for the russian military or our compatriots, i will finish with our compatriots, but really, here we are talking about the fact that there are civilians, ordinary citizens , activists who try to provide the information they can within their competence, and here they can provide some... or we can tell them how to creatively do something in crimea so that it is it is safe for them, and with on the other hand, so that in crimea the pro-ukrainian spirit and the spirit of freedom appear in various forms, and that's exactly it, well

, i would say in our country in some way, in some way, it turns out, well... for example, when including, it is important for us which of the occupiers or goal-leaders, or rather collaborators , take part in the purge mobilization there, who actively propagates, say, the so-called svo, who uses the letters ztv there, and we, for our part, collect this information about these people are already here and we are doing various informational company, including providing information to the competent authorities of ukraine. as for the other category, these are people, including among civilians, who have more knowledge of how such armed resistance can be carried out, and this is precisely the issue that should have been actively worked on since 2014, and

precisely in 2014, i personally, when we met with representatives of the special services of ukraine, we then proposed that we could actively... provide the opportunity for our youth to be educated there in the territory of the mainland part of ukraine for that it will be more effective later , well, unfortunately, it did not happen exactly as it should have, but thank god, now we see that all these processes are taking place anyway, that is, the occupiers are constantly aware of what is happening in crimea there is... let's say, a clearing that will resist, and these explosions that are taking place, and these actions that are taking place, they just have a greater influence on the psychology of these russians who came to crimea illegally, who are still not gathering suitcases,

but they already clearly say that they are not always in crimea, not forever, that is, sooner or later late they think about the fact that they will have to leave. and they will not do everything to take root, let's say, in the crimea, and it is very important for us, well, well, another question, what really in 10 years, is the influence of propaganda, the influence on the new... laziness and every year works against us, and here we need to constantly remember this, because those children who were 10 years old, for example, at the beginning of the occupation, although they were born in ukraine, are now 20 years old, including them there they go and serve in the armed forces of russia federation, some of them sign contracts in order to take part in the war against ukraine, but here it is... a tragedy, a tragedy that must be stopped by all possible means, and besides, in order

to the pro-ukrainian population was more preserved, that is why we need to demonstrate that the necessary laws are being adopted in ukraine, that the necessary normative legal acts are being adopted in ukraine, that why in crimea should the residents of crimea dream there and fight for ukraine, why. therefore, they will talk about the future of, for example, indigenous peoples only in the independent european state governed by the rule of law, ukraine, that is, all these directions must be done by us, and by our ukrainian authorities, thank you, thank you, iskander, thank you very much, these are absolutely correct things that we keep postponing, many of them are postponing, postponing, this after all, it works for the occupiers, and we must not give them a single breath, not even a moment. to think that crimea can remain theirs. i thank everyone who

watches our program, who helps the army, reminds me that the collection is in progress, it remains to collect 10 night drones for 48 usb named after noman chelbijahan, so join the meeting in any way. thank you to everyone who is with us. yes, and we will certainly return to the topic of temporarily occupied crimea. literally in a week we do not let it down. finger on the pulse, so to speak, during all seven days, in order to collect the most relevant information for you, already before the next issue of the together beraber program, this is a joint project of the espresso tv channel and the atp tv channel. stay with us, stay with crimea, see you soon. we are looking for two brothers, an 11-year-old

artem and 10-year-old denys abramovichuv. the boys lived on the right bank of the kherson region in the berislav district in the village of dudchany. the territory was occupied almost from the first days of the full-scale war. but in the fall of 2022 , she was released, and it was during this period that it became known about the disappearance of two brothers - artem and denis. where are the boys? no one knows where they may be now, it is possible that shortly before the liberation of kherson oblast they were taken to the temporarily occupied territories, or maybe even to russia in general. that is why your help is very important. if anyone has information about the missing boys, call us immediately on the magnolia children's search service hotline at the short number 11630. calls from any ukrainian mobile operator are free. if suddenly there is no connection or possibility to call, write. to the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram. this is just one

story of missing children. in general, since the beginning of the war, we have received almost 3,000 appeals for help in the search. fortunately, the vast majority of children have already been found, but the fate of many remains unknown, especially this one refers to temporarily occupied territories, where the work of the police is practically paralyzed, from where it is impossible to leave and there are problems with communication. sometimes people who cannot find their own children. they don't even know what to do and where to turn. if you suddenly find yourself in a similar situation and have no idea how to act, call the short number 11630 or write to the chatbot of the children's search service in telegram. here you will be provided with all the necessary advice. in addition, everyone who sees me now can already help find the missing children take just a minute of your time and visit the magnolia children's tracing website. you can view it here. all the photos of the missing, who knows, maybe you will recognize someone and eventually help to find them.

i also want to remind you that the search for ten-year-old artem kholodny, who disappeared in kharkiv oblast in september 2022, is ongoing . his mother asked for help in finding the boy. imagine that a woman has not seen or heard from her son for more than a year. i appeal to everyone who can see or know any information about my child, my... son kholodny artem andriyovych, if anyone who has seen or heard can provide any information, i am asking you to do so, because... the mother's heart is breaking and the fact is that artem kholodny's parents are divorced and live separately, so it happened that when the war began, the boy was with his father in the city of kupyansk, kharkiv region. on the third day of the full-scale invasion , the city was completely occupied, and later communication was cut off there. for almost six months, mrs. olena did not have any news about her son,

and only in september 2022 did she receive from him a short notice. it was september, around september 10-13, 22nd. let me remind you that on september 22, fighters from the ssu liberated kharkiv region from the occupiers, and it was during this period that mrs. elena's son got in touch. of course, the woman tried to call artyom. i wrote him more than one message in response, but all attempts turned out to be useless. the connection with the child mysteriously broke off again, and it is not known where artem kholodny is now. therefore, your help is very important. look at the photo again and remember the boy's face. he is a very active boy fair-haired, with such a lithe physique, he is now in the 50th grade, light-eyed, gray-blue eyes, active, kind, a good boy. if suddenly someone saw artyom cold, or knows where he might

be now, do not delay and immediately call us on the hotline of the child tracing service. gnolia by the short number 11630. calls from any ukrainian mobile operator are free, if suddenly there is no way to call, write to the chat bot of the children's search service in telegram. any information is important. we have created a resource through which you can report any crime against a child. in any place, at any time. just go to the site and report. and we will launch all possible mechanisms to punish the criminal. stopcrime ua. congratulations, this is an exclusive espresso. my name is yuriy fizar. today we will talk about security, about help from the united states

of america. ultimately, when we get it from the american congress, well... and we're going to talk about donald trump, and i 'm going to talk about all of that with my guest today, he's an adviser to the 45th president of the united states. donald trump's america on national security, john bolton. mr. ambassador, congratulations and thank you for joining me, it is a pleasure to be with you. mr. ambassador, my first question will be somewhat introductory: why is ukraine important to the united states of america, if it is important at all. i believe it is very important, and since 1945, the key national interest of the united states has been peace and stability in europe. we have come through the cold war and indeed have excellent prospects for achieving these goals, however, because of russia's desire to recreate the russian empire, and although ukraine is not a member of nato, ukraine's security is vital to the rest

of the european continent, and therefore to the united states. you know what george w. bush proposed. to admit ukraine to nato in april 2008 at the bucharest nato summit. and frankly, if our french and german friends agreed to this, then maybe we could avoid invasions in both 2014 and 2022. okay, let's talk about the recent statement by french president emmanuel macron that we should not rule out the possibility that at some point in history western troops may be stationed in ukraine. president joe biden's administration has already responded, with john kirby , the white house security council's strategic communications coordinator, saying that the only us troops currently in ukraine are those working at the us embassy, ​​and no other us

troops in ukraine will not, but in the last few days different opinions have appeared. from various western leaders on this matter. some say that western troops cannot be in ukraine, because it will mean further escalation. but some of them, for example, the prime minister of estonia kaia kalas, said that we should not rule out such a possibility. what is your opinion on this, given that you are one of the best in the world in the field of security and foreign policy. and what would you advise the president. i don't often agree with president macron, but i 'm happy to say that this time i... i have to say that we're in the midst of a presidential election campaign, and i think the chances of the biden administration saying that they agree with macron are zero,

this goes to the fundamental question of the overall response of the us and the west to the russian invasion two years ago, obviously we couldn't deter the russians from attacking, in fact, i'd say we didn't even try very hard, one of of ways we could go about it in addition to... a few other things we could do is put more troops into ukraine, especially american troops, not to fight the russians before the invasion for training purposes, and let the russians worry about what an increased american or increased nato presence would mean. as i said, it needed to be done differently, more economic sanctions, more rapid delivery of weapons, but the failure to deter the russians from... for two years of conflict in constant fear of what the white house calls a wider war. this inhibits the strategic supply of weapons, which would allow ukraine

to conduct the war most effectively. this is what has largely led to the current impasse in which we find ourselves. so it was very it is unfortunate to observe the behavior of the white house, i think that this indecision is due to the fear of provoking the russians. gives the russians what they want absolutely free. and what do you think about the bilateral security agreements that ukraine signs with various european and world countries? do you think it would be possible or even better to have such an agreement with the united states of america? it is an inadequate alternative to nato membership until we ... achieve what every nato member calls our goal of full restoration of sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. according to

nato practice, we do not accept members who are under occupation by an enemy state, because that immediately puts us all in a state of war. the first step here should be the victory in the current war, the next step should be the accession of ukraine to the nato alliance. today we see that the threat is that... russia is multiplying the transnistrian republic. i am sure that on the initiative of moscow, ukraine asked for protection from the russians, if this leads to the fact that more russian troops enter transnistria, then this will be a very bad turn of events. we are in a precarious situation, we need a strategy for the future, and we don't have one now. mr. ambassador, there are some world leaders and... even european leaders who are still wary of helping ukraine, of providing ukraine with everything it needs to fight against the russian aggressor. is

the west really afraid of an asymmetric response from putin, and that is why they are so cautious. if the russians try to attack nato members directly in cyberspace or elsewhere, they are taking a huge risk, and they should know it. the fact is that all this concern about the possibility of a large-scale war presupposes that russia has the ability to wage a large-scale war. given her failures in ukraine, i doubt it. even when it comes to nuclear intimidation over the past two years, we have never seen evidence of russian nuclear deployments that would threaten ukraine or the rest of europe. therefore , i do not think that the kremlin has many reserves. i believe that... their military failures in the ukraine have caused them great difficulty, and yet the deterrent effect they have exerted on us, all of us, in fact, hurt

ukraine, unfortunately, about three weeks ago , bloomberg reported, citing its own sources, and i will quote now: donald trump is considering pushing ukraine to negotiate a cessation. war with russia, if he returns to power next year, that's the end of the quote. one of trump's advisers told the agency that the threat of cutting military aid could push ukraine into negotiations. then, as its increase will only provoke russia. can we say that trump is already on his way to his goal? in attempts to get the last tranche of ... aid through congress have been in complete disarray, and yet i am hopeful that they will find a way to overcome these difficulties. the problem with the general budget for this

financial year also remains relevant. progress on it is now clear, i think there is significant majority support in both chambers to pass this package. unrelated issues such as the biden administration's failure to pursue an effective policy on the mexican border against illegal immigrants are holding back the approval. migrants however, i am worried about trump, because he, firstly, the president announced the withdrawal of the united states from nato, and secondly, during. zelenskyi and putin in the same room and solve the problem in 24 hours, now, as the election campaign also promised to put zelenskyi said, it's ridiculous, but i would be worried if they tried to do it and it didn't work. it is clear that trump will not blame himself. it's not his fault, but i would worry that he would blame zelensky and not his friend putin. therefore, in my opinion, trump's presidency would be

dangerous as for... since you've already started talking about trump, i'll ask a question about him: what are the chances that he will win the election this fall. unfortunately, he now has a very good chance of winning. biden is considered too old to be president, he will not be younger until november. democrats don't seem to understand this. i think the final decision will be made by a large group of american voters who don't like either of them. and the question will be in november, which of them they don't like anymore. and this will mean that will win another. it's not the best way to elect a president, but i think it's the perspective we have. and now it is impossible to predict who will be more unpopular in november.

can a court prevent trump from becoming president of the united states of america? no. as strange as it sounds, even a convicted felon can be elected president. it is currently unclear whether any of the four criminal cases will go to trial before november. and even if a jury returns a verdict against trump, he will appeal. i think for many americans who don't want to to elect a president. a convicted felon , that will be a significant factor, but even that is hard to say, trump's support has increased since he was impeached four times, and he has become even richer, as far as i know, after that, a few weeks ago, putin said, or rather, it was a week ago, said that it would be better for russia if joe biden became the new president of the united states of america, and

not donald trump. and yet, in your opinion, which us president would actually be better for putin? putin, a former kgb agent, conducted another operation to influence american voters, saying that he supports biden. and all this in order to make some people support trump. but i was in the same room with putin and trump more than once. i had several meetings with putin without participation. are waiting for a donald trump presidency because they think he's a winning party for them, and that's one of the reasons why i don't think trump is fit to be president. they consider him a winning lot, but what is the phenomenon, i would put it this way, trump's popularity among americans.

in particular, among republicans. why some of them seriously consider him even a president from god. it's a bit hard to understand, but i think it reflects the opinion of many people who are quite alienated from the system. they feel that the democrats look down on them. remember, in 2016, hillary clinton called trump supporters deplorable, but they don't consider themselves deplorable. they do not like how they are treated by educated elites, and they express frustration and dissatisfaction supporting trump, and i understand and actually sympathize in many ways with their feelings, but trump is the wrong vehicle to express those feelings. i hope that americans, i mean republican americans, will find the right remedy for themselves. i...
