to accept flattery from the dictator vladimir putin, which will harm ukraine and endanger poland and all of europe. she used the language of american presidents such as harry truman and ronald reagan, who defended freedom and opposed aggressive dictators. many ukrainians would say that these are nice words, but americans should act faster and more decisively in support. of ukraine. and i agree with that. as i mentioned, i hope that the united states and great britain will lift the restrictions on use ukraine long-range weapons on the territory of russia. ukraine has the right to defend itself, and russia cannot expect its territory to remain safe while it attacks all of ukraine, killing civilians and terrorizing ukrainian society with bombs.

and attacks on the energy infrastructure, worsening the life 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 glad to hear kamela harris come to her defense freedom of ukraine. this shows that not only joe biden supports ukraine, but also the young generation of american leaders. also understands that ukraine's struggle is our common cause. dear mr. ambassador, 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 will hit very clearly. according to our

civilian objects, it is not one news, and accordingly, any important political or political military decisions, in addition to the fact that they must be bold, they must be quite quick, and so information appeared that the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy presented certain elements of his plan, his vision 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... somehow we understand that certain things must happen quite quickly, and there was information about , what can happen even now year's forum, the second forum dedicated to the peace formula. in my opinion, ukrainian diplomacy during the last peace summit in switzerland was at its best. ukraine chose a wise approach, trying to reach the widest possible consensus on issues that would unite the largest possible number. especially in

the so-called global south, and in my opinion, the ukrainians have coped 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 such countries, like india and brazil, which did not sign the statement but attended the summit, so i think it is quite possible that ukraine will achieve. 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 the agreement on ending the war will look like. it's not for me to talk about because i'm an american. what conditions will the ukrainians decide? i don't know how this war will end, but it definitely won't end with what... hovers over kyiv

russian flag. putin has already missed this moment. we, as a collective event, must prepare to strengthen the security of ukraine, so that after the end of this phase of the war, russia will not be 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. now that... to join the european union, ukraine must meet eu requirements. joining nato requires an agreement on how the alliance can help ukraine defend itself. we in the west must realize that stability in europe depends on whether ukraine becomes part of our community. if this does not happen, russia will choose a convenient moment for its next strike. that is why, 9 years

ago, nato decided to accept new members from among the former satellite countries of the warsaw pact, which 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 effort from ourselves ukrainians. there is no automatic right to eu membership. ukraine must meet his requirements. 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 a european ukraine, and i am sure that in... 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 frit, for this difficult, difficult, but honest conversation on the air of the tv channel. i would like to remind our viewers that ambassador daniel frith, ex-coordinator of the united states state department for sanctions policy, worked for... them. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes.

now oleksandr morozov will work on the air of the tv channel. a well-known publicist, political analyst, who is in prague. greetings, oleksandr, glad to see and hear. good day, anton. good day to those who watch and listen to us. well, the key story - these are 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 room stuffed with some kind of cotton wool, yes, but this cotton wool... unfortunately oozes with blood and blood, in particular ukrainian blood. we understand that certain processes are being conducted, certain signals and impulses are being transmitted, so that, in principle , it briefly indicates that certain negotiations in different capitals, yes, i don't know, from india and beijing to berlin and brussels, that they are talking about something, so we understand that we again have many questions for our partners and allies, which concern the supply of weapons and permits for their use on the territory of the aggressor state, that is, the process certain goes, how do you see it and what are its main parameters? firstly, i would say that we have to be careful and culturally aware of clickable headlines, because

all the time we as media consumers react that there is a headline and someone has said that it stands for peace, and every time it causes a violent reaction. the feeling that something is happening somewhere and it is being hidden from us, but in reality, when leaders like olaf scholz or any other european leader or diplomat mentions peace, it means only one thing: everyone who in one way or another has relation to the war waged by russia against ukraine, they would like peace to come, that is obvious, but diplomacy cannot be built at the same time. otherwise, we cannot imagine that someone supports ukraine, supports it militarily 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 new is happening. in this aspect of negotiations, why the first point is important, it is sometimes said that changes on the front strengthen the negotiating side. in the event that she has success, or the negotiating side of the kremlin, when, for example, putin carries out massive shelling of the 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. so who is trying 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. the kremlin itself rhetorically refers to the istanbul agreements, but this is only rhetoric today, because since the negotiations in istanbul in 2022, the situation has changed radically, everyone knows and understands this and has talked about it many times, the kremlin since the istanbul negotiations... annexed not only crimea, but also four oblasts of ukraine. and this

fundamentally changes the situation. the kremlin wants and is operating before the istanbul negotiations, but at the same time constantly emphasizes that the issues are about these four oblasts of ukraine must be firmly decided in favor of russia, that is, it requires the withdrawal of ukrainian troops from these territories and their transfer under the jurisdiction of russia in general. all this does not create any possible step for real negotiations. therefore, the negotiations, as they were and are still going on some tracks, exchanged prisoners, and probably some negotiations were also held about the need to stop shelling the infrastructure. negotiations are underway together with the ministry of defense, regarding nuclear plants and so on. in my opinion, there are none now, and the prerequisites for them are not visible. look, a

strange signals from the former minister of defense of russia shoigo, yes, who started talking about the fact that there would be some kind of understanding on the topic that they will not destroy the facilities of the energy structure. yes, i don't know, to believe him is basically to disrespect yourself, but he stepped up, and we understand that, in principle, he does not occupy some... powerful position, that is, he is not a full-fledged player, but he went to this interview. yu and went to the eyes ot vkydy. what do you think this means, in general, the figure of shoigu in this very specific schedule, so at one time he thing was present in istanbul. it must be understood that shoigu simply took the position of patrushev, that is, he became the secretary of the security council of the russian federation, and as the secretary of the security council, he gives this interview in which... he formulates all the same things that patrushev would say in his place, if remained in this position. this is simply

an expression of the consistent, aggressive and tough position of the russian security council regarding this war. thus, it should not be perceived as a speech by shuigu himself, no matter what his current position is. obviously, they have deteriorated, that's understandable. but in this interview he speaks not as a personal figure, but as the head of the security council. yes, that is, we have dealt with the so-called fiction, yes, the parameters of the new phase of the war , yes, the kursk operation is extremely successful in military terms, i do not know in what way our military command will develop it, but the kremlin did not wait, and the kremlin does not know how to sell it to russia the population, well, he says about some ephemeral ones... that is, it is not a formula and it is not an answer, and in principle, it even caused a certain reaction among

the most fashionable public, the military and so further and so on. so, kursk is a new reality, and you very rightly noted that the big drone war has started to fly, i imagine moscow as the air defense system just works there during one or another massive visit of ukrainian drones, and we understand that. in principle , the kremlin did not think that two sides could play such a game, that is, in ukraine we know what to expect from the kremlin, and russia thought that the war was somewhere over there, the war in ukraine. and so on, here the war came inside russia, and not even just as balls with corpses, not just loads of 200, not just memes about kalina, the car is like that, yes, but specifically, and here is the new phase of the war, as you see it, yes, that's how i look at it, no doubt, what we see from the beginning of august onwards,

if you look at the logic of this war and the way it developed. then here we see a new stage, i will not undertake to evaluate the military result, now the offensive in the kursk region and the military side of the drone war, but we can definitely say that politically it turned out to be a very significant event that changes the description of the war. why? first of all, because the offensive on kursk showed such an important side, because before that there was an idea that putin was waging a territorial war, and the question turns. around the 1991 borders. now the situation has changed somewhat , obviously, because putin was the only one who blurred the borders of 1991, and with impunity. he eroded them, annexing part of ukraine to himself. now putin has been shown that if you do not recognize the borders

of 1991, then you will lose a piece of the border from your old one. because absolutely all political headquarters all over the world, looking at what is happening, thought: yes, for a second, if its own territory is so insignificant for the kremlin, then it is not significant anywhere. not on any other part of the border. for example, let's imagine what will happen tomorrow. there will be an attack on vladivostok, let's say a drone attack on the port in vladivostok, which means that the border of the russian federation is being blurred there, and the kremlin cannot respond , this is a very significant situation in the political assessment, but this is far from everything, because as soon as a new stage of the war began , respectively the question arose, which has been raised for a long time, whether

ukraine can be given permission by american politicians to use missiles. longer range, and now right before our eyes a decision is being made: yes, it is possible, but recently it was not possible. before that, it is obvious that president zelenskyi and commander-in-chief syrskyi took a risky step by going on the offensive against the kursk region, but he justified himself because the question of military support for ukraine did not budge from this, even though the kremlin tried. and wording that how european countries and the usa and great britain will continue to support ukraine is very important today. we see, they do not refuse, this is a fundamental point. and the third political moment, here it is very important in

the next one, which very clearly shows the kursk operation and the new stage of the drone war, only the atomized russian population does not understand what is happening, does not want to understand it, whatever you can call it, but it is about that we see the helplessness of both the population and the authorities. we see only that vladimir putin wants to be flooded only with money, pay out money, money, money and nothing else. everything is the same as military operations. yes, you are losing your homes, yes, everything was bombed, but it's okay, here's 100,000 rubles and you can live somehow, fine, but

putin's war plan, we understand that they didn't call it in the kremlin for nothing. then a full-scale war against ukraine with a war they invented this neologism of the svo, so they were afraid of the term war, because i think that in russia, not only in russia, they are very well aware at the grassroots level what it means war. accordingly, the war has come, there is more talk about the war, but all the same, putin is trying to mobilize the russians, but he does not dare to mobilize on a full scale, because there are purely technological points, not because ... putin, so to speak, nurtures one or the other there illusions, so he simply understands that there is a lack of an average command staff and a trained average command staff. who we knocked out during the war in the east of our country and in the north, that is, those people were physically eliminated by our fighters during the battles, well, accordingly, he does not go to mobilization, from

maybe they are waiting for him, maybe he is afraid, realizing that the system may not withstand the overload of such and appropriate preparation, and in general, if we talk about your feeling, the way the kremlin elites see the further development of events, that is, they are going to... read our energy in order to do something, to offer some kind of offer, to wait for what will happen, i don't know, consent from the ukrainian side, of course no one will give similar, similar consent, but well, the kremlin must also have some kind of plan, it seems to me that now we are witnessing the exhaustion of the old plan the kremlin and its lack of a new plan, because the old plan consisted of the surovikin plan, that is, the missile plan... because it has been going on for a long time and for

the kremlin it has exhausted itself, although everything continues, the implementation of the surovikin plan, as well as gerasimov's plan regarding the front, continues. but now the moment, in fact, kursk and the intensification of the drone war show it clearly enough that this is all... however , it is impossible to say that we know putin's new plan, there are two scenarios here: first, knowing putin's temperament and character, then he does is going to crawl further, calculating that we live for a long time, something will happen next, and then we'll see. that any

future nuclear blackmail of the kremlin will not be effective, because it has been crying for a long time: wolves, wolves, everyone has long been prepared for what this could mean. in addition to the mobilization, i agree that the entire system will choke in the mobilization. and the kremlin is aware of this, that is why it is not held, because there are no bases, it is impossible to prepare such a large number of mobilized. you can only do as they do, collect 30-50 thousand monthly on contracts. some of them have some experience, so they you can send them to some automobile parts or somewhere else, because they were once communications workers, in a word, that's how it works, there is mobilization. the kremlin's behavior now shows that putin is showing very clearly that the goal

is to reach the administrative borders of the donetsk region, to record this result, this has not yet been realized for him, it is clear that despite the summer offensive, this has not happened. both our american and british friends, perhaps not only them, will agree that ukraine. has the right to use those long-range weapons at his own risk territories that it deems necessary, of course, in compliance with the geneva convention, that is, to strike at military facilities, and accordingly we understand that the kremlin does not like it very much, because it is possible to bring the entire air defense system to moscow, to set up a garden ring, but all the same, there are cities that are powerful centers and where... can also fly, and here is the answer to this, if we talk, for example, about the plans of trump, geris and so on, that is, how far america

will be ready to go to the end. i would say that it is very important for all of us to just keep republican-democratic consensus on the war in ukraine. despite the controversy on other issues. and this consensus exists. it will remain, at least until march next year, that is , until the new us president takes office. the document that the white house has now submitted to congress must be taken seriously. this is a description of the us strategy for war. this document sets out at the end of biden's term all the goals and all the understanding that will carry over if harris is president. maybe there will be some changes, but the basis will remain. it the second important point, and the third essential point, i think, and this is correct, no matter what efforts the kremlin uses, that is , propaganda efforts, no matter how it tries

to destroy. will be that no one will ever recognize the results of war if it is a territorial seizure as a result of aggression. it will be like this all the same, the kremlin will not get out of this in any way. the next leadership of russia or some elite group of the orf will be able to find a way out of the situation. i don't... doubt it, because there are no historical situations from which there is no way out. and therefore to find a way out of the situation so, so that the world community can say that we have finished the war, but there is no recognition of the territorial seizure as a result of unprovoked aggression, just like that. it is absolutely clear that the kremlin does not understand this and is not moving, is not even going

to move, that... to get out from under this wording, and if not, then in this case the kremlin will have to deal in any case in 2025, 26- or 2027, with the fact that the global alliance of support for ukraine, despite the change of governments and parliaments in these countries, will remain on this line of assessment, this unacceptable, as it has been since 2014. especially after 2022. twice and three times are unacceptable. it seems to me that there is such a picture here, there will be no other. well, on the other hand, we will also be aware of what the kremlin is learning. the kremlin is learning from its own mistakes. the kremlin is gradually rebuilding what is called its own economy, it is not only china, it is india, it is what is called

collective. we do not know who will join it and how serious it all is, that is, as far as we understand, in principle the kremlin is not afraid of a protracted war, a large intensity, of course, they are not ready for the fact that strategic military airfields somewhere in the murmansk region or somewhere beyond the urals will begin to be closed, they were not ready for this, they do not know, they have no answer, this is a huge loss of reputation, i.e. the kremlin is losing prestige in front of those it calls its own... i think that even in north korea they can laugh at russian allies in quotes from time to time, but that is a long story - it is also time for the kremlin to rethink, to re-prepare the hundredth second thousands of their people and so on, transfer one or another power of the economic plan to the collective south or east, well, in a word, china and india, what do you think? these

are the countries that the kremlin is hoping for, are they interested in it, is it possible that xijin ping is already sitting in beijing with a watch and saying, yes, listen, well, it's time to finish this, vladimir vladimirovich, you have three more months to save your face and get out, get out of the war, is it possible that some other dates are announced or some terms, is everyone happy with this big rearrangement of continental security? well, we understand what it is accompanied by, a big, destructive, bloody war. yes, this is an important question, yes, this is an important question. first of all, you are right, i agree, there should not be some kind of triumphant mood that the kremlin is getting exhausted and so on. the resource capabilities of the russian federation in this war are preserved, it is obvious. but i want to emphasize one important thing: in 2022 , when sanctions were introduced. everyone said that

the sanctions were working, and they were, the kremlin itself admitted it. then it happened in 2023 adaptation, as they said, of the russian economy to the sanctions policy, and everyone said: "well, you see, the sanctions do not work." we are now entering the fall of 2024, when after the december decision by the us on secondary sanctions, it is quite clear that the sanctions have started working again, and they are working. significantly, because the financial system is taking a big, serious hit. allies are really clearly showing that they will not circumvent bank sanctions and meet russian companies that want to trade in things that cannot be done, they will not facilitate them. this applies to turkey, and china, and the countries of central asia, which are now taking these measures.
