and from the russian oil business, we don’t want to get rid of it, here i am, here i am already, well , there is no answer to this, you understand, if you can find some answers, although they are also, in my opinion, weak, but to the question , which i'm asking now, why don't we increase the tolls for pumping this, and it's me, i i don't know the answer in principle to it, one more question is short enough, mr. oleksiy, about peace initiatives olaf scholz, because the italian... wrote about the fact that they say that scholz has a peace plan, he wants to be chancellor peace, and one wanted to be the president of peace, and this one wants to become the chancellor of peace, and they say that at the expense of the territories that are in ukraine, it is possible to achieve concessions, territorial concessions, to achieve this peace, the chancellor of germany speaks publicly, this is not public information, which was a republic, but chancellor scholz says that... the time has come for peace talks with

russia, and that country is to participate in a global peace summit that will be in a few months, and he publicly stated this in interview of cdf. let's hear what scholz said. on in my view, now is the time to discuss how we can move from this war situation to peace faster than it seems realistic now. that we have another peace conference, and president zelensky and i agree that russia should be represented at it. mr. oleksiy, do our western partners still hope that putin can be defeated diplomatically and not militarily? this, look, well, first of all, i already know how many of these peace plans, you see, zelensky has a strategy for victory, in scholz some kind of peace plan, this, well, i am skeptical about all this. look, the first

peace summit was three months ago, i have a question, what were its results? well, three months have already passed, you know, not in hot pursuit, but because, well, three months have passed, what, what, what has changed, where, where, where has peace approached, where has russia lost some allies, where has russia left there for some, well, i don't know, well , something, well, some result that is, his no, now he tells us, but we will conduct the second one, what will be the result of the second one, preparation for the third one, well, not me again, i, they should say it there, it's always good, but russia understands only one language, the language of power, and the best peace plan from scholz would be to give ukraine taurus, missiles, give tanks, give howitzers to beat them, they only understand that, no they don't understand the conversation, they proved it to everyone, well, what about giving territories, scholz says there , well, well, well, if he wants, he can give some german territories, russia recently occupied all there. future germany, well, if

the german government has such a desire to give some territories, well, they can dispose of their territories, with all due respect to our ally, which is germany , and with thanks for their help, but there must be a red line here, well, we in ukraine can discuss something, but if someone will discuss abroad, what territories should we have to whom to give it, well, for me, it is unacceptable in principle, well, that is, it is not... there can even be talks and conversations about it at all. thank you, mr. oleksii, for the conversation, it was oleksii goncharenko, people's deputy of ukraine. next, we move according to our plan and according to our own graphics, dear friends, but before that, i will remind you that we are working live on the espresso tv channel and are conducting a survey, today we are asking you about whether you think the cessation of hostilities this fall is realistic. yes, no, please vote on

youtube with the appropriate buttons, if you have a personal opinion, please leave it in the comments below this video. if you're watching us on tv, grab your smartphone or phone and vote on 0800, 211 381 if you think the shutdown is real hostilities already this autumn and no, 0800 211 382. all calls to these numbers are free, vote, at the end of the program we will pick up the bell. of this vote, next on the air we have mykhailo samus, military expert, deputy director of the army research center for conversions and disarmament, director of the new geopolitics research network, mr. mykhailo, i congratulate you and thank you for joining the broadcast, i congratulate you, it’s nice to see you , mr. michael, today great britain announced that it is imposing sanctions against iran and not only great britain, and also a low country. stop air traffic with

iran, france, germany, referring to the fact that iran supplies ballistic missiles to russia. of which federation, antony blinken publicly also confirmed this information that these missiles are actually located on the territory of the russian federation. the editor-in-chief of defense express, oleg katkov, told espresso that iran probably handed russia about 200 missiles with a range of more than 80 km. let's hear what he said. when was the last integration in relation to the transfer of iranian. rockets, then language it was about such parameters as 200 units, but again, these missiles are not the same missiles with a range of 300 km that are currently on the screen, they are smaller, that is, for example, at armanovobil, this is a range of 800 km, it is actually more similar

to the jemelers missile in its, shall we say, capabilities, mr. mykhailo, how does the nature of the russian... ukrainian war change and does the nature of the russian-ukrainian war change the supply iran ballistic missiles to the russian federation? well, actually, here i would call more geopolitical consequences, since the first deliveries of iranian missiles, cerolistic ones, with which they hit the ukrainian territory and they are approximately the same in terms of range and approximately in terms of power, correspond to iskander, and iran can also significantly strengthen them. russia's missile potential, and in conditions where russian resources cannot allow the mass release of missiles, that is, they cannot build up to the volume, when indeed they could strike massively with ballistic missiles, such a development

means that the world community is once again failing the exam on control of the situation, that's it the same as putin went to mongolia and demonstrated that in fact... the international criminal court cannot do anything, the un cannot do anything, and international law is now effectively destroyed, the same is true with iran and russia now demonstrating that none regimes, no restrictions on the supply of missile technology, c the principle of hinting at nuclear technologies, which i am sure are being transferred to iran and north korea, now, by the way, iran has been reported many times, is on the threshold. getting nuclear weapons, i don't exclude the fact that iran already has nuclear weapons, and such an increase in military-technical cooperation between russia and iran can have really global consequences, i am not talking about the consequences for ukraine, which will be forced

to feel all these shortcomings, let's say , international system. is it possible, mr. mykhailo, that this situation will encourage our western partners to take a long- awaited decision in ukraine to allow western weapons to strike the territory of the russian federation? we would like to believe, but we know that it all depends on the opinion or position of the united states, in the united states actually from one person, that is president biden, who is actually already at the final stage of his political career, but he, again, like the entire biden administration, is actually engaged now. of the haris election campaign, which obviously, i mean, not even kamala herself, but her political technologists, obviously would like to push the ukrainian topic away, push it into a low profile state, so that this topic is not mentioned anywhere at all, because they for some reason they think that

the president, the presidential candidate trump can somehow use against just kamala and lower her rating, so i think that... the only chance actually remains is an emotional decision by president biden, already such a last decision, a strong one, which may go against kamela's political technologists harris, maybe it will theoretically cause some damage, although in reality i do not understand how this decision can harm the rating of harris, this decision can be made during a personal, possibly the last for a while presidency at the meeting of the presidents zelenskyi and biden in the united states, which may take place during the session of the un general assembly, and here it can be so emotional, biden can,

for example, due to the fact that zelenskyi will give appropriate arguments, allow ukraine to strike on russian territory, and if will be the permission of biden of the united states, then of course the ambassadors. followed by all the others, that is, there are currently no such outspoken opponents who would not allow their weapons to be struck on russian territory, except for the united states, which is asking here... and actually according to the united states the states do not dare to allow this to our other allies. it is possible that this issue will be discussed at the end of this week in kyiv, because the secretary of state of the united states of america, anthony blinken, and the head of the british foreign ministry, david lammy, are going to kyiv. the purpose of the visit has not yet been announced, but it will obviously be about, among other things , expanding the capabilities of the armed forces in... ukraine in the event of strikes on the territory of the russian federation, let's wait and see what

decisions and statements will be made. at that time, we see how the russians are trying to put pressure on donetsk region, mr. mykhailo, and we see how, uh, we are trying to pressure the russians in the kurdish direction. how would you characterize the situation on these now? in two directions, and in this situation, can we use the kurdish operation of the armed forces of ukraine as an argument, or can it help us put pressure on moscow, regarding the future negotiation process between ukraine and russia? well, theoretically yes, in fact, if we say that ukraine controls a certain russian territory, russia occupied a certain... ukrainian territory, i.e. theoretically one could talk about it, but i do not think that it is possible in

principle under the current leadership of the kremlin, i.e. i do not think that putin is ready for such shameful negotiations for him, i.e. to imagine that putin will agree to trade russian land publicly , what a great emperor this is, that is, he says that ukraine has no right to exist in general and that there are some negotiations regarding... the kursk region, of course, that putin will not go for it, i i think that the situation is basically the same now the front is such that russia is trying to break through the ukrainian defenses both in the pokrovsky direction, and in the chasvoy yeru, and in the turkish direction, the ughledar direction, but the ukrainian troops are obviously seizing the initiative, that is, now it cannot be said that the russian offensive has already been stopped, or that the situation has been reversed, but obviously the russians lack a reserve. in order not only to advance in all the named directions, without this, in

principle, they will not see success in donbas, they do not have enough resources and reserves even to break through the ukrainian defense on pokrovsky direction, at the same time they have to do something with the kurdistan region, and obviously they have a plan, they promised, i mean the russian generals to putin, that they will deal with the kurdistan region by october 1st, so i can... predict that at the moment, russia will nevertheless increasingly withdraw its forces into the kurtsk region, trying to show some result by october 1, that is, it is possible that there will be counterattacks, perhaps some counteroffensive actions of the russians in the kursk region, this can be expected, but a competently constructed operation, which operation is ukrainian, which operation is based on the seim river, for example, on geographical conditions, on... at the moment, i do not see the prerequisites for the russians to somehow significantly change the situation

in the kurt region, we will see how much they can strengthen your group in the kursk region with reserves, then it will be possible to talk about the further development of events. well, obviously, it will all depend on what weapons will be in the armed forces of ukraine, because it is clear that the decision that can to adopt... and the united states of america and great britain regarding strikes on the territory of the russian federation, with their weapons, it may or may not be. meanwhile, it became known that ukraine has developed its own high-precision planning bomb, which can become a key weapon for strikes against russian military facilities. forbes writes about this with reference to a video of a bomb test, which was published a few days ago by the air force of the armed forces of ukraine. this bomb is marked. with a rocket booster, retractable wings and a gps

system, its flight range can reach 65 km the publication notes the similarity of the bomb with the french, french ha, french hammer, and predicts that if ukraine establishes the serial production of these bombs, it will be able to strike at the territory of russia with the same frequency with which the armed forces of the russian federation fire. similar projectiles, this is good news, mr. mykhailo, the only question is to what extent ukraine will now be able to establish serial production of any weapon. including this high-precision glide bomb, do we have these capabilities, do we have these capabilities, the main thing, taking into account the constant attacks of the russian federation on the objects of the military-industrial complex of ukraine. i think that there are no problems imposing the production of such bombs now, because technologically this product

is not some kind of peak of technological thought, it is not a ballistic missile that ukrainian engineers are working on, it is not other super-developed types of weapons, such samples of weapons stand, have been in service with various countries of the world for decades, so i think that ukraine has all the possibilities for this to do, in relation to production production capacity, i don't think that again there is a problem to find underground these, underground, let's say, demo capacity. it is possible to produce such products, and therefore, well, again, the important thing here is that it is the organization of production, it is the personal responsibility of the government officials who lead this program. we have one big, fundamental problem: we still do not have such a concept in the arms production system as the head of the state program for the production of arms, whether it is

a ballistic missile, drones, etc. for example, an aerial bomb, that is, there should be... a clear system, a clear responsibility of a specific official for production, coordination, concentration of budgets, organization of production itself and so on, that is, if this is done, i do not see any problems at all in in order to establish the mass production of such avebom , oleksandr syrskyi, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, stated in an interview with cnn that ukraine has narrowed the gap in... of ammunition with russia, which is now almost one to two, i will quote mr. syrskyi, the ratio is actually one to two, one to two and a half, a year ago this figure was 1:10, one to six, we compensate for this difference with unmanned systems, does this mean, mr. mykhailo, that the war of drones, which is currently going on in most

regions of ukraine using drones. systems, it changed the nature of this war, because the war began with one weapon, and this weapon, russia had an advantage in this weaponry, and russia quickly yielded to ukraine, ukraine gained momentum and actually made the weapons that are now in in principle, it is most used on the battlefield, well, there are two aspects here, really in... from the point of view of the drone-centricity of this war, it is obvious that ground, air, and sea drones have changed the nature of combat operations, the nature of the battlefield, there is no doubt that ukraine is a leader in this process, but in relation the ratio of artillery is a slightly different process, remember, about a year ago , europe, the united states decided to finally

invest in the production of ammunition, just then the implementation of national projects. in relation to the expansion of ammunition production capabilities and capacities, a czech initiative was born regarding purchases in third countries, not in nato countries or the ramstein project, in third countries, which are often even anonymous, but with the money of the allies of ukraine, and just a year later, in fact, all these initiatives have begun to bear fruit, by the way, western, western production has not yet... reached its peak or even its optimum, that is, from now on we are in such a way that it is actually there for 80% of implementation projects, an increase in the number of ammunition production, and the peak of these projects in the western countries will come out somewhere around the beginning of the 25th year, because a year ago, in the

summer of the fall of the 23rd, this person understood this word at the beginning of the 25th year. very, very negatively, since, well, everyone said, well, what if we will fight without ammunition, in principle, that's how it turned out, we remember how difficult the 24th year was, the first half of the 24th year, when there was a failure in munitions, the failure of american aid, so right now we feel that the implementation of those projects that were started a year ago, and thus we come to a ratio that is already more or less acceptable in the confrontation with russian artillery. another important topic, mr. mykhailo, is air defense systems, which are so necessary for ukraine, and zelensky has already publicly asked the prime minister of italy. george maloney to mediate in negotiations with the united states of america on the transfer of air defense systems to ukraine, the italian publication mesenjero reports. according to the sources of

the publication, zelensky would like melons, as the head of the big seven by the end of the year pushed washington to transfer a significant number of patriots to the presidential election in the united states of america. of course, all patriot systems. we will not be able to close the ukrainian sky with those that are approaching us, how else can we avoid these strikes, missile strikes, constant, drone attacks, combined strikes, what should ukraine do and where should ukraine move in order to so that it was less and less. well, at the beginning of the conversation we talked about iranian rockets they are ballistic, ballistic missiles can be shot down by the patriot, well short-range, by the way, we would like those fateh 360 missiles that fly there at 80-100 km,

the israeli iron dome would be good, again, we know that israel will not transfer these systems to us, but regarding long-range ones ballistic missiles that iran can transfer, that north korea is transferring to russia, and russia has its iskanders, well, there are more patriots after all, and regarding... can ukraine get patriots to close all ukrainian territory? maybe because in the united states , there are enough of them on the continental part of the united states, dozens of them, according to some data, even hundreds, well, let's say dozens, because we do not know the actual technical combat condition of these machines, of course they are not new there , maybe even since the cold war, but they can be restored , it would have been possible to restore them, after all, it was not the first day of the war. and the united states could transfer to ukraine 25, for example, patriot complexes, which would in principle cover the main ukrainian facilities

and territory, and if we transferred even more, then we could safely ensure virtually guaranteed protection of ukrainian territory, with a high probability, protection of ukrainian territory from russian ballistic missiles and not only missiles. unfortunately, it is logical to explain to me what argument to find... why the united states ignores transfers to ukraine of the patriot system, which the armed forces of the united states do not need at all, i just emphasize, they stand on the continental part of the united states, with a range of 150 km, can be in territory the united states, the neighbors, that is, canada and mexico, from whom the united states is going to defend itself, so it is not clear, it is a tactical system, it is an army system on a large scale. of the united states, they use completely different systems for anti-missile defense, including ballistic. the patriot is not even in the nomenclature of these anti-missile systems, so i

think the idea is to somehow, in any way, convince biden with the help of melons, with the help of any arguments that the states could give us transfer these systems, i think they should... now be used, for example, i even advocated such a project, transfer to europe, to european countries, for example, in romania and poland, transfer 30 systems, er, they can then be restore and gradually hand it over to ukraine, it would be better than just talking about the fact that romania is handing over to us a single patriot air defense system there, or that poland and romania should shoot down some aerial objects, well , you know it all, it's... delaying, it's confusing the situation, we need concrete solutions right now, this second, not endless negotiations, right now 25 patriots that are

available that are just standing in the deserts in the united states and not doing any good. thank you, mr. mykhailo, for the conversation, it was mykhailo samus, military expert, director of new geopolitics research network. friends, we continue to work live on the channel and also on our... for those who are watching us live there now, please subscribe to our pages and also take part in our survey, today we ask you the following: do you think it is realistic to stop hostilities in ukraine already this fall? yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube, if you have your own opinion, please leave it in the comments under this video, if you are watching us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote on 0800 211 381, if you consider termination real. no action 0800 211 382 all calls to these numbers are free, vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote,

our contact is volodymyr tsibulko, political. analyst, writer, people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation, mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today, congratulations, glory, glory to the heroes, mr. volodymyr, last week the shmygal government was renewed, the cabinet of ministers has already been renamed the ministry of culture and information policy at the ministry of culture and strategic communications, it was headed by mykola tochytskyi, a former diplomat or diplomat. in addition, the ministry of community development, territories and infrastructure was renamed the ministry of community development and territory, well, that is, it was first divided, then reduced, now it is divided again, reduced again, with what and what fundamentally distinguishes the current government and the current structure from what we had before the beginning of september 2024 , well, first of all, what are they about connecting part e?

government officials are appointed illegally, and there is no program of the government, we do not know what this government is working for, whether it is working for victory or it is working for defeat, it does not report to the public, does not inform the public about its intentions, and now what what it differs, differs in that during the american elections, we will receive a transition period, that is, conditionally speaking... or a period of irresponsibility, and it will last, at least until the end of the american elections, then, given the candidate chosen by the american voters, the authorities will have to adapt very quickly to the program of the new president of the united states, and accordingly most likely to look for some

forms of survival. most likely, we all somewhere so tentatively count on the fact that there are reasons for the continuation of the war on the part of russia with the election there will not be a new president either, that is, it will run out, because the united states cannot afford to play in such a situation of strategic uncertainty, they will most likely do everything so that ukraine... quickly finds itself in the european union and nato, and russia will do nothing there is no other, that is, there will be no choice but to leave the ukrainian territory, otherwise russia will never get out of the system of sanctions, i want to remind you that the law of jackson venenik, which ban, which was adopted through ban by the soviet union, for the departure of jews, he is in one or another

form still exists. well, now there is for russia, in russia they know very well that the american sanctions are for a long time, and either they begin to behave more or less according to the rules of world coexistence, or they will exhaust their resources to the last. mr. volodymyr, it is obvious that how the world will perceive ukraine will now depend on the ministry of culture and strategic... because earlier it was the ministry of culture and information policy, and this information policy over the past two and a half years has been reduced to the formation of a single telethon, a single information space, if now we are talking about strategic communications, a diplomat comes there, obviously, this ministry will be entrusted with external foreign information work of ukraine.
