27 countries took part in the versailles congress, but there was a big four that practically resolved all issues regarding the political map of europe, and the only country that did not agree with it was turkey, whether there was yalta or potsdam or something else, because after , because practically all such big, big wars, they ended with agreements, and president biden... for moldova and for ukraine, he was a very important figure, because he said that there should be no agreements without ukraine or without moldova, if it will be the position of a possible president trump, this is a very big issue that will have very big consequences for us, and another issue that concerns the elections in moldova, the presidential elections are actually going to take place. later it became clear that the parliamentary

elections, maya sandu, the president of moldova, now actually, according to the rating, takes the first position, well, it is clear that russian or pro-russian forces will try to shape some new candidate or a new old candidate, that's how far it is now in general.. . during the upcoming election campaign we we see that russia is trying to interfere in it, and is there a possibility that pro-russian forces will nominate some new, or as i said, old candidate who will be able to catch up with the current president of moldova in terms of ratings and even defeat her, although again , according to with the ratings, as of right now, she's number one, and there, if i'm... i'm wrong,

she has about 40 percent or even more support among the population of the country, so right now she's the number one candidate, the president has a sanda, and she has the best chance win the election, but russia will do everything possible for that, well, practically the government of moldova and the presidential elections, so that mayasendo does not win the presidential elections, so that her political party does not win the parliamentary elections. why? because president sandu, she practically emphasized moldova's position that we will no longer negotiate with russia, we will no longer be in the gray zone, we will no longer be a buffer, and our only path is the path to the european union, this determines that russia practically loses its influence on moldova, and these levers of influence are becoming less and less, and therefore they will do their best in order for... president sandu

did not win these elections, but in the history of moldova, by the way, no single person has ever won the presidential election twice, but the president has sandu, she has the best chances, because her opponents are on the left flanks, and the left flank is a pro-russian flank, they, they are fragmented, they agreed on a single candidate for a very long time, did not agree on anything. and in the end they all went to the polls and that would split their electorate and virtually guarantee a victory for president masand but it would only be in one if there is no destabilization, it is very important, because the fact that there are so many candidates is in favor of president san, but if there is destabilization, it will change the picture, the political picture in moldova, because maysand has two main achievements: the fact that

it was possible to preserve peace in moldova, to prevent war from entering the country, and moldova has gained geopolitical certainty, a real prospect of joining the european union has appeared, the country's development path is understood, but if there is destabilization in moldova, then this can very quickly destroy its political rating, and this is a very dangerous thing, for example, through gagauzia, not through transnistria, but through gagauzia, this time... this is now for moldova, there is such a threat of destabilization due to the autonomous region, gauzia . mr. vladyslav, thank you for joining us and expressing your thoughts. vladyslav kulmynskyi, former vice, vice prime minister for reintegration of moldova, executive director of the institute of strategic. initiative was broadcast live on

the espresso tv channel. we are going for a short one pause, after which we will talk about the exit itself. the president of the united states of america , joe biden, from the presidential presidential race, he announced this literally 10 minutes ago, so don't switch, stay on the espresso channel. there is a war going on, and not only for territories, it is also a war for minds. we are engaged in propaganda. russia is throwing millions of petrodollars into turning ukrainians into malorod. ukraine will become russia. countering russian information attacks in the chronicles of information war project with olga lake. tuesday-thursday at 5:15 p.m. repeat - tuesday-friday at 22:00. politklub

- live broadcast of the espresso tv channel. we are working further and will discuss now. the hottest event, of course, this evening for ukraine, this day for the united states of america, for the whole world, is that joe biden withdrew from the presidential race. we already have a friend with whom we will discuss this, and there is none yet, guest, i am told. come on then, let's see what happened then. joe bye. actually in their social networks released a letter with his signature, where he announced that he is withdrawing from the presidential election, but he remains

president until the end of his term, that is, until january 20 of next year, by the way, you can see this letter on your screens, he public both on facebook and in the x social network, it is clear that biden expresses his thoughts, thanks, thanks the people, thanks the americans, says that america must continue to be a democracy, and also about what he is making, such a decision , you can go to his social networks, reread, watch, because it is, well , of course, it is very important for the whole world, and it is clear that it is important for ukraine today to make such a decision, and in the same way, we now absolutely do not know who will be the candidate from the democratic party, who

will actually become, well, if not the legal successor of biden, then the person who will be nominated by the political force of biden and... it could also be kamala harris, the current vice president of the united states of america, it could be one of the current governors, we'll see, then the decision will be made by the democratic party, actually by the leadership of people who are members of the democratic party, it will also be very interesting to see how this election will take place, because joe biden was de facto chosen for the prime minister. and by the way, almost 100% voted for him in these primaries, that is, all the delegates voted for him, and he was elected, now how to do it during these primaries, for example, it is difficult for me to imagine, because it is

a very long process, on the other hand , we understand that the democrats have something another, maybe two or three weeks, or up to a month . in order to choose a candidate, if we start from the priority date, it will most likely be somewhere in the first decade of august, that is, we are talking about really three weeks, most likely, and who it will be is also important, because now the democrats will be watching according to the ratings, will look at possible sympathies for this one. of this person, they will see how this candidate is perceived in the democratic party, and how clearly he can defeat trump, because after all to even today, if you're talking about the polls, they

've been somewhere around the margin of statistical error anyway, and it's very much biden's decision here, given the... all that pressure, given that he made that decision, is also controversial, well, we finally have our guest. in touch, oleg shamshor, diplomat, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine to the united states of america in 2005-2010, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine to france in 2014-2020, mr. oleg, we are very glad to see you, kind evening, congratulations, congratulations, mr. oleg, well, you already know, you see, so to speak, that... the incumbent president of the united states of america, joe biden, withdrew from the presidential

race, he published his letter on social networks, an appeal to the people of the united states of the united states of america, how do you assess why biden took such a step, because even today, even a few hours, an hour before the broadcast, there was information that... he is not going to withdraw from the presidential race, now we we see the exact opposite situation as you do you appreciate why he still came to such a decision, indeed, i was watching cnn this morning and there was such a general opinion that the pressure on him is increasing, but for now he firmly intends to continue participating in the presidential race, the presidential race, well in principle. on the other hand, almost everyone who commented on the situation

said that this weekend could be decisive, it really became decisive, the reason, well, first of all, is that the members of the house were going to pressure, well, in such a vanguard of pressure on biden representatives and senate of the united states the states that saw their chances for re-election are significantly complicated, the heavyweights of the democratic establishment and, above all, nancy pelosi joined the pressure, apparently the results of the public opinion polls finally showed biden, and he made this decision, and it is very important. that obviously he relied on the opinion of his closest circle, this is his family, his

closest advisers, who apparently also said that there is a need to withdraw from the presidential race, well, plus i do not exclude that his physical condition is also, although they said that he is from covid it turns out, not the best, and he did. this is absolutely, in my opinion, a well-founded conclusion, and i must give him credit that it was obviously a very difficult decision, but he found the courage to make it, mr. oleg, but after all, i have already mentioned that even in spite of that situation, if the huge pressure on biden, still, even as of yesterday,

every day we watched the ratings, we watched the dynamics, anyway, biden actually and trump had a 50-50 chance, well, we won't take those bookies there there and so on, you know, it's not that serious, but as far as the ratings are concerned, he still had the potential to get pred... at least the win, at least, well, we understand that he's not according to the ratings was supposed to fail completely, why were the democrats pressuring him all this time to drop out of the presidential race? well, you rightly noticed that here is a question of the scale of the defeat, and when it became clear that there could be a defeat not only in the presidential race, races, but also in... in the senate in the chamber representatives, then the democrats sounded the alarm,

firstly, secondly, in principle, indeed, if we take the national results as a whole, then the situation persists, but i am sure that the greatest concern, i would say, even panic in democratic was caused by the fact that... the gap from trump in favor of trump persists, even increases in the so-called swing states, swingels, if they are sometimes also called battleground states and... it is the voters in these states who will determine the fate of the presidential elections, and this margin not only increased and it remained, but the number of those states in which, which turned from being democratic in the state, into variable states, where there is no

obvious advantage of any party, that is... the number of states increased and especially as i understood, the statistics for 14 states caused concern, where the margin really increased , biden's position worsened, and this, i think, was the last straw that forced the democrats and their leadership to act decisively enough. if we are talking about biden's successors in the presidential race, the vice president of the united states of america, kamala harris, was called the most likely candidate, although there were also questions about her ratings, some

polls showed that she is not quite popular, in general , she is not popular in the united states of america. there is allegedly charismatic, so on and so on and so on, mr. oleg, who do you think the democrats can choose as a presidential candidate from their political force, it will be kamala harris, or it could be one of the governors, or it could be for a completely different candidacy, which we do not even know about now, well, i will start with the last one. so far, no such unexpected candidates have been named, now it looks like, according to inertia , harris is considered the main contender, but eh, the closer, i noticed, the closer the situation developed to biden removing himself from the presidential

race, the more often. as for doubts about whether harris will be able to win over trump. her lag behind trump, well, formally, it is small, i also last saw 3%, that is, it is approximately like biden. on the other hand, this is my subjective opinion, i think that harris has not proven herself for the position of vice president, she is quite weak and not... a charismatic politician, the fact that she is like them also works in her favor they say, the udder of a woman of color, that is, a woman of color, that is, it is not so easy to remove her, and at the same time, it is not surprising, i say not surprising, because it was

absolutely not manifested during the selection of the presidential candidate there is a large enough bench of politicians who can be nominated instead of biden, and it is said first all about governors, and in particular, it could be california governor newson, it could be pennsylvania governor shapira, some two or three other governors that are named, maybe. one of the senators, but i think that in the near future we will find out who is among the favorites, and now a very serious technical question arises, the primaries have passed, 14 million votes were cast for biden, that is

, how to conduct the selection of the candidates, and that is what i heard today, in principle... there is no consensus, even among the leadership of the democratic party, that the process is quite complicated, and there is not much time left before the congress, it is on august 19, that is, now the democrats will have to decide very quickly on the candidate, on the vice-presidential candidate and, in fact , reformat the election campaign now. but if we are still talking about this technological process, you have already mentioned it, that in fact, biden was actually elected in... primaries and almost 100% voted for him there, this is a huge number of people. how can it be carried out

technologically so that it is not enough legitimacy, well, in the eyes of both democrats and independent voters, yes, and in general in the eyes of american society, because holding primaries is a rather long process, if nominating a candidate for someone else. in a way without involving the general public of the democratic party, then this may also call into question a certain social legitimacy of the candidate, the candidate, what should the democrats do now and how can they implement it? it's really a very difficult question, but i've been hearing her different opinions on this for several days, i would say, even several weeks. which were expressed, as i understand it, the question, well , it will definitely even be decided at the convention, in

the regulations of the convention, although the primaries, well, this is the basis for nomination, at the same time, the delegates have the opportunity to vote as they see fit, i.e. there is a certain possibility, a loophole for her not to be bound. by the decisions of the primaries, especially since biden himself refused to participate, well, the idea of ​​such mini primaries, of some large gatherings of members, excuse me, of the democratic party, that is, i think that there will be now, is often expressed lately to show political creativity, how to hold a mini-primary, it's hard for me to say, for this you need to be a member of the leadership of the democratic party, but what i heard is to hold either mini primaries,

or large gatherings, or both, meetings of the members of the democratic party, but really there is practically no time left before that, and it is quite interesting that just today there was an interview with the speaker of the house of representatives johnson, and he said: that in principle, we republicans think that this is not very democratic, passed same primaries, nominated candidate, and now that decision eh will be overturned, somehow it comes out sloppy, eh, and because for the republicans right now biden would be the best candidate because they know how to fight him if there is a strong candidate. then this will seriously complicate the work for the republicans, especially the choice, the speech and the choice is made, well

, it was clear, and trump's speech at the republican convention just showed his weakness again, that is, half of it was normal, that is, here we are , he tried to show himself as a new person after her... attempt, that is, which has changed its mind a lot, is in favor of unity, but most of this record-breaking speech in terms of duration was devoted, again, to his claims to the elections and to competitors and so on, that is, in principle, he has an internal weakness, and i understand that the democrats expect to win. well, here is the latest information, 12 minutes ago, while we are talking with you, joe biden again published another

post on the x social network, and he did not address all citizens of the united states, but addressed the democrats. he wrote, my dear democrats i'm choosing not to run for... for president of the united states of america, but he writes that he actually supports kamala harris as a candidate for the position of president of the united states of america, so here we are, by the way, on the screens you can see this post on x's social network, and in fact he is saying: that he considers it necessary to support her in the nomination of the democratic party this

year. he wrote: "democrats, it's time to unite and, relatively speaking, defeat, or beat, trump, so to speak, so-and-so another statement by biden was made, that is , after all, yes, yes, mr. oleg, sorry, i interrupted, it is clear that the word and the political weight of biden are big and this is definitely in favor of harris, on the other hand, it is unlikely and difficult to imagine, that he does not support harris, since she is his vice president, but i think that this is not the end, and in the near future we will see who will make a choice, first of all , the leadership of the democratic party, that is

, to all americans , but from what i 've read, at least he's going to check back next week. by the way, if we are talking about kamala harris, today there was also information in the american mass media that the staff of donald trump is now developing a strategy on how to fight for the presidency in the presidential race with a potential candidate. little haris, that is, they and we understand it, that they also most likely understand that this is a convenient candidate, in principle, to some extent for them, just like biden, but you, mr. oleg, said that biden would be a convenient candidate for the republicans , and and maybe they also think from that point of view that kamala harris would be a convenient candidate for them because she has a certain

streak as well that... stretches from the biden administration, right? well, that is, she, as the vice president, bears responsibility for everything they accuse biden of. secondly, it is quite clear that her political weight and popularity are not the same as biden's political weight and popularity, and trump's attitude to charisma in general. enough of that mockery, the last is the last thing i'm from i heard him, he called her just crazy, well, that's his style, so basically, i think that if she is nominated, then they will consider it, right or wrong, we'll see, it 's also an acceptable option for me, well, let's

actually see, about this situation, yes, i would like to talk to you about one more topic, it concerns, of course, mr. johnson, boris johnson, yes, the former prime minister of great britain, the former leader of the conservatives, why today all day the whole country is talking about him because he published in one of the mass media of great britain. his column, and he allegedly voiced there, whether it was his plan or trump's plan, it is interpreted differently, and people interpret it differently, both experts and mass media, but this peace plan, in fact, has been made public , this opinion was made public, and it caused a rather large, stormy reaction among ukrainian society. someone

supports, someone does not support, someone partially supports, in short, johnson's peace plan there provides that in fact russia gets control over that part of ukraine that was occupied by february 24 , 2022, johnson says that ukraine should be in nato according to this plan, the armed forces of ukraine can be deployed, or rather 70,000 of our defenders, or representatives of the armed forces of ukraine can to be stationed in europe or in the european union instead of american troops, and johnson said such a very controversial thing, which probably resonated the most in ukrainian society, that ukraine needs some...
