but we understand that some of them are just a smoke screen. our guests today are extremely informed. daniel frith and oleksandr morozov. now the iconic american diplomat, ex-coordinator of the united states state department on sanctions policy, ambassador daniel frith will be working on the air of the tv channel. glory to ukraine, dear mr. ambassador, glad to see you on the air. glory. well, extremely complex village we understand that now on the table is the question of allowing our military to use american weapons, british weapons, and in general the weapons of the euro-atlantic community, for strikes on military facilities on the territory of the russian federation, we understand that extremely difficult debates have been going on, but there is hope that we can let's get this permission, well, the key story is to get enough long-range weapons, yes, because the permission is... extremely

important, but the number of certain units that can fly to strategic russian airfields are no less important. i hope that the united states and the british government will lift restrictions on ukraine's use of long-range weapons for self-defense. in my opinion, ukraine should abide by the laws of warfare without any other restrictions. ukraine was attacked without a single force. reasons, and i believe the biden administration is considering its next steps. i really hope that soon a decision will be made to remove these restrictions. i understand that some are concerned about russian escalation. yes, russia has nuclear weapons, but so do we. we should allow ukraine to defend itself, in accordance with the laws of warfare. but no other... restrictions are appropriate.

at one time, 100 years ago, the polish prime minister paderewski, addressing his british colleagues, asking for weapons, asking for ammunition, said that the poles were paying with blood in order to maintain the versailles order. in the same way , ukraine is now paying with its blood in order to hold back the world. order, world international agreements and so on, and we understand that we need closer cooperation, clearer strategy, a joint strategy, yes, which would allow us to win as soon as possible, we are talking about ukraine, and accordingly, i would like to ask you about the so-called plans, your vision, your sense of what is called the ukrainian victory plan, because for some time it is everyday. .. such a concept is to prevent

ukraine from losing, but the victory of ukraine and not the loss of ukraine are significantly different things, but in any case, ukraine pays with the blood of its best children to ensure that the international order is respected. you are right that ukraine is fighting for the principles of what we used to call the free world. it is about the principles according to which some ... should not encroach on others for the purpose of conquest, and that there should be no empires, but only nation- states living in peace with one another and respecting the rules of international order. of course, ukraine is fighting for exactly that, and it is supported by the united states, great britain and those countries that we are used to collectively call the free world. russia, on the other hand, is fighting for an empire. putin's empire

of greed and vanity, russia the empire of oppression of other peoples. this is not the path to stability, it is the path to eternal conflict. ukraine is correct. claims that her struggle is also our struggle, and ukraine's victory will be the victory of the entire free world. we understand that american sanctions and european sanctions act rather slowly, but sometimes the moment comes when russians begin to look for food in the literal sense, i remember how at one time in the late 80s russians came to ukraine in order to buy sausage, answer i don't know if this one will be repeated now scenario, but the more often i hear from representatives of the kremlin that sanctions should be lifted, the more i understand that inna biullina, and not only her, is beginning to understand the situation in which their economy is, but currently it is standing, and currently

we understand, that the people's republic of china and india have shouldered the russians and we have to change that, on the other hand we understand what is needed for this. leadership of all civilized humanity, but unfortunately, we see various international signals that certain states want to play that game with russia, i.e. we're dumping and buying cheaper resources, whether it's oil, whether it's gas and so on, and that kind of postpones the effect of the shock economy, the sanctions that the us, europe and the g7 countries have imposed. russia was dealt a blow to the russian economy, they caused pressure on the russian military machine, but this blow was not painful enough. the introduction of sanctions resembles a game: you introduce them, and the subject of sanctions tries to avoid them. you

try to fight the ways of evasion, and then the object finds new ways of them avoidance. this is what is happening right now. in june and august, the biden administration introduced new sanctions targeting evaders. these are good steps, but not enough. there are ways in which the united states and europe can increase the pressure on russia. for example, the usa and europe should as soon as possible decide on the use of frozen russian sovereign assets for the benefit of ukraine. i would prefer to take all these assets, since it is about 280 chi. and use them to help ukraine. the alternative agreed to by the big seven is to transfer to ukraine at least the interest earned on these immobilized assets, which is about 50 billion dollars. of course, this is a good

amount, but apart from them, i would continue to insist on using the entire amount of frozen russian assets for ukraine's needs. that's what i can do. do the usa and europe. the second thing we can do is to increase the pressure on the sale of russian oil. these new restrictions on how russia can sell its oil are costing it dearly, but it is finding ways around the sanction. we we should focus our efforts on limiting russia's financial capabilities through the oil and gas sector and other sources of income. it is possible to find effective ways to reduce their income, in particular, by imposing additional sanctions and creating obstacles to the sale of oil. with regard to third countries, such as china, which are suppliers of dual

-use military products and technology to russia, we must increase the pressure through increased secondary sanctions. this will not only apply to chinese companies, but also banks cooperating with russia. it is important to make russia's aid more risky and economically unprofitable for these countries. sanctions, as you point out, will not immediately collapse the economy, but they may create long-term pressures that will weaken putin's ability to sustain this illegal and immoral war. mr. ambassador, frith, i would like to ask you about the strategy of containing iran, yes, the information is already there. it is also confirmed that the ayatollah regime transfers ballistic missiles to russia, yes, they are of different types, there are different, different their range, but we have no doubt where these rockets will go, yes, we, we don't know if they're going to kill me there, or if they're going to kill our

translator there, or if they're going to kill one of the children, or they will be directed at energy facilities, we simply do not know, but we know that iran dared to do this, we understand that for them this is a wrong decision. and iran must pay for it, pay the full price of blood. on the other hand, we realize that we in ukraine are not satisfied with the fact that some additional sanctions will be imposed on iran. somehow easier, that is, our blood is more important to us than the fact that the regime in iran may start to shake, and we understand how much ukraine and russian aggression against ukraine are connected to the situation, including in the middle east, and at the same time we are very worried that , that the ayatollah regime and the kremlin regime are beginning to converge in what is called the military component. we had different expectations from... a refreshed new iranian president. you are quite right that

russia and iran are now acting as allies. a peculiar axis of authoritarians was formed. china, russia, and iran work with other countries that hate the concept of a free world and believe that russia should be supported in its efforts to rebuild its empire because these countries believe in empires and. predominance iran wants to be a great power in the middle east. russia wants to dominate the post-soviet space and the former territories of central and eastern europe. and china wants to absorb taiwan again. instead , countries that value freedom, such as ukraine, poland, the european union, great britain, the us and other free countries believe in an order based on the principles of peace, cooperation and sovereignty. this is not naivety, as it seems at first glance, but the basis of strategies that

developed during the second half of the 20th century and continue to be relevant today. we share these values ​​together with ukraine, because we understand that the protection of freedom and democracy is key not only for ukraine, but also for our own national interests. this is what they believe. poland, usa, ukraine and many other countries, because we are not we know the alternatives. this vision of a free world order is opposed to the imperial one. it is a better and more efficient system. however, this is the order that putin hates, and it is the order that his allies like iran are trying to destroy. easy to say and not easy to do. it is easier to talk about a free world order than to oppose dictators and aggressors. who seek to destroy it, but we must take seriously the challenges of our time, because

much depends on the outcome of the russian-ukrainian war. as an american i can say that there will be fewer problems in the world if ukraine wins. aid to ukraine is not charity, it is in our interests, because our values ​​and interests are inextricably linked. i don't know what the situation will be now. in the american budget, or how actively the british government will work, but i know that in order to hold the country, we need more, constantly more, such is the sad logic of war, which simply eats up all resources, that is, war eats up money and so on, but there is another story like certain negotiation tracks, hon mr. ambassador, frit, we understand what is going on... sometimes behind-the-scenes discussions, sometimes even public ones, these are the stories, the so-called

istanbul summit took place at one time with the participation of the russian side, and we understand what is now being counted on in the kremlin, that the unshakable will of collective action can be reduced in terms of financing and providing us with specific financial and military resources, a reduction, that is, it is not a question of it being completely leveled. and on the other hand, the kremlin hopes that theirs the tactics of destroying our energy system will be able to make ukrainians look at the war and the prospects of ending it in a different way, i understand that this is too broad a field for conversation, but i would ask you now to outline different scenarios that are realistic in your opinion, yes, because there is mr. trump, there is a lady... haris, there are a lot of different figures in the world, on whom, in principle

, our victory depends and the fact that our state resists russian aggression, well, in any case, we have seen putin's plan plus or minus, yes over the last few years, continuous attacks, the use of ground strikes, missile strikes and so on, but i would like you to analyze the various... steps in what is called the perspective of forcing the kremlin to sit down at the negotiating table. in the west they continue. debate over support for ukraine, some argue that winning the war is impossible, that russia will eventually achieve its goals, and that peace on russian terms should be pushed for as soon as possible to stop hostilities. former president donald trump, during a debate with kamela harris, said that his the goal is not the victory of ukraine, but only

the cessation of hostilities, presumably on putin's terms. there are many in the west. who shares this position, but the leaders of leading european countries, as well as the biden administration , continue to strongly support ukraine. ukrainians now sometimes express concern over delays in american decisions on weapons systems and slow deliveries. i understand these complaints and agree with them. however, the biden administration has already done a lot for ukraine, as well as germany. although sometimes germany's position seems incomprehensible to me. she also made significant efforts to support ukraine. poland has also done a lot for ukraine. ukrainians are not alone in their struggle. the discussions at the event are understandable, but they should end with a decision to continue supporting ukraine. during the pre-election debates, kamala harris strongly and

repeatedly supported this idea. she criticized. donald trump, claiming that he would be willing to accept flattery from dictator vladimir putin, which would harm ukraine and endanger poland and all of europe. she used the american language presidents like harry truman and ronald reagan who stood up for freedom and opposed aggressive dictators. many ukrainians would say that these are nice words, but the americans need to act faster and more decisively in support of ukraine, and i agree with that. as i have already mentioned, i hope that the united states and great britain will lift restrictions on the use of long-range weapons by ukraine on the territory of russia. ukraine has the right to defend itself, and russia cannot expect its territory to remain

safe when it attacks all of ukraine, killing civilians. and terrorizing ukrainian society with bombs, rockets and attacks on energy infrastructure, worsening the lives of the ukrainian people. russia has no right to any privileged status. i hope that in the near future the united states will remove these restrictions. i was pleased to hear how kamela harris spoke in defense of the freedom of ukraine. this shows that not only joe biden supports ukraine. but the young generation of american leaders also understands that ukraine's struggle is ours business dear mr. ambassador, frith, one of my favorite poets, thomas stearns eliot, once wrote a poem: barren lands, or desolate lands, yes, i

would not like ukraine to become a desolate land, so we understand what we are talking about , because ... the russians are going to hit very clearly our civilian targets, so that 's not news at all, and accordingly, any major political or political military decisions, other than being bold, they have to be quite quickly, and then there was information that the president volodymyr zelenskyi of ukraine presented certain elements of his vision plan to the american establishment, i don't know what is included, well, it's probably... a state secret, i don't know what is included in zelenskyi's plan, but in any case, we understand that certain things should take place quite quickly, and information has appeared that a forum, a second forum, dedicated to the peace formula may be held this year. in my opinion, ukrainian diplomacy during the last peace summit in switzerland was at its best.

ukraine chose a wise approach by trying to reach the widest possible consensus. issues that would unite as many countries as possible, especially in the so-called global south. and in my opinion, the ukrainians have done quite well with this task, they have managed to make progress in gaining or maintaining support for the decisions of the peace summit in switzerland, or at least you have received some support from countries such as india and brazil, which did not sign the statement, but were present at the summit. so, i... i think it's quite possible that ukraine will make even more progress at the next peace summit. progress can be defined as the unification of a significant number of countries to support the maximum. possible number of agreed ukrainian positions. i don't know what an agreement to end the war will look like, it's not for me to talk about, since i'm an american. what

conditions will the ukrainians decide? i don't know how this war will end, but it will definitely not end with the russian flag flying over kyiv. putin has already missed this moment. we, as a collective event, must prepare to strengthen ukraine's security. so that after the end of this phase of the war, russia will not was tempted to start aggression again. ukraine should not remain in the gray zone, the danger zone on the other side of the front line, outside the borders of nato and the european union. the gray areas are a green light for putin's further aggression. currently, in order to join the european union, ukraine must meet eu requirements. nato membership requires an agreement on how the alliance can help ukraine defend itself. we in the west must realize that stability in europe depends on ukraine becoming

part of our community. if not will happen, russia will choose an opportune moment for its next strike. that is why, in the 90s, nato decided to accept new members from among the former satellite countries of the warsaw pact, which have restored their independence. this decision was made because there was an understanding that the gray zone is not a zone of stability, an eternal temptation for russian aggression. of course, this will require efforts from the ukrainians themselves, there is no automatic right to eu membership. ukraine must meet his demands, but i believe that after the war the ukrainian people will insist on transformations that will be worthy of their huge sacrifices. they will want to build. european ukraine, and i am sure that ukrainians will be able to achieve this. we must help ukraine achieve this goal. its

future should be connected with nato and the european union. and as for the future of russia, it must depend on the choice of the russian people. thank you, dear ambassador, for this difficult, difficult, but honest conversation on the air of the tv channel. espresso. i would like to remind our tv viewers that ambassador daniel frick was currently working for them, ex-coordinator of the united states department of state for sanctions policy. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. healthy joints and back allow you to lead an active lifestyle. natural german ointment from the field in joints and muscles. comfrey helps to eliminate pain, inflammation, stiffness and contains natural ingredients. buy dr. tais' corn with quince, in a large package of 100 g. march discounts on lodyaniki bronchialik, 20% in pharmacies plantain, pam and

will write the history of the victory is detailed on the official pages of the sbu. oleksandr morozov, a well-known publicist, political analyst, who is in prague, will be working on espresso tv. greetings, oleksandr, glad to see and hear. good day, anton. good day to those who watch and listen to us. well, the key story is the so-called parameters of what is not there. in particular. we are talking about the negotiation process, which does not exist, everyone is talking about it, and from time to time splashes of one or other plans reach us, and in general the situation reminds me of a crowded room some kind of cotton wool, yes, but unfortunately this cotton wool oozes with blood and blood, in particular ukrainian blood. we understand that certain processes are being carried out, certain signals and impulses are being transmitted, so that, in principle, it briefly indicates that certain negotiations are taking place in various

capitals, yes, i don't know... from india and beijing to berlin and brussels, that they are talking about something, we understand that we again have many questions for our partners and allies regarding the supply of heavy weapons to us and permits for their use on the territory of the aggressor state, that is, the process is certain, how you see it and what are its main parameters. first, i would say that we have to be careful and cultured about cliques. headlines, because all the time we, as media consumers, react that there is a headline, and someone has announced that he stands for peace, and every time it causes a violent reaction and a feeling that something is happening somewhere, and it is being hidden from us, however, in reality, when leaders like olaf scholz or other european leaders or diplomats mention peace, they only mean

one thing: everyone. those who in one way or another have something to do with the war that russia is waging against ukraine would like peace to come, that's obvious. however, at the same time, diplomacy cannot be built differently, we cannot imagine that someone supports ukraine, militarily supports ukraine, and at the same time did not declare that peace is necessary. no one on planet earth wants to be a bloodthirsty person who... demands war, war and only war. if we take the real negotiation processes, then i would say, it seems to me, and many people see that, that nothing fundamentally happens new compared to what was a year ago. in this aspect of the negotiations, why is the first point important: it is sometimes said that changes on the front strengthen ukraine's negotiating side if it succeeds. or

the negotiating side of the kremlin, when, for example, putin carries out a massive attack on infrastructure. but in reality , in my opinion , there is no strengthening of the negotiating position. why? because both formulas, both the putin formula and the ukrainian formula, do not involve any compromise. and there is a lot who tries to articulate something between these two positions. we hear the voices of those who are just saying loudly about a ceasefire, and this is indeed recorded in the sino-brazilian memorandum. someone is discussing that it is possible that ukraine will give up the territories, and then the road to peace will open. someone says, let's try to come to an agreement, maybe the kremlin will agree to take some territories, and return some, and

end the war there. what will be the compromise. the kremlin itself rhetorically refers to the istanbul agreements, but this is only for today rhetoric, because since the negotiations in istanbul in 2022, the situation has changed radically. everyone knows that. they understand and have talked about it many times. since the istanbul negotiations, the kremlin has annexed not only crimea, but also four oblasts. and this fundamentally changes the situation: the kremlin wants and operates before the istanbul negotiations, but at the same time constantly emphasizes that the issue of these four regions of ukraine must be firmly resolved in favor of russia, that is, it requires the withdrawal of ukrainian troops from these territories and the transition in general.
