states of america, president biden, vice president harris, and the presidential candidate, as well as kamala harris. is a presidential candidate for another presidential candidate, donald trump, and today zelenskyi said in an interview with abc news that he believes the war with russia is closer to the end than many people think, and his victory plan should help with this. let's listen to what the president of ukraine said. it is not about negotiations with russia, it is mine. bridge to diplomatic the end of the war. the bridge is a victory plan, or a victory plan, it is the strengthening of ukraine, the ukrainian army and the ukrainian people. only from a position of strength can we pressure putin to stop the war through diplomatic means. mr. volodymyr, do you share

zelensky's optimism that the end of the war, for... the end of the war in ukraine is closer than many in the world believe? well, you know, i share it in the context that russia is going through dark times, and it's showing in their economy, it's showing in their ability to resist sanctions, and it's demonstrates the resistance of our troops. the year 2025 for putin's russia, for the empire, may become the same as the year 91 was for the former. of the soviet union and i really hope that it will be like that. in everything else, i have very moderate optimism. i cannot say what exactly is written in the president's plan, which he took to our allies. unfortunately, we do not know him publicly, maybe this

is the intrigue, and he is so large-scale and thorough that everyone will be surprised and immediately support, because such work should be carried out the day before, you cannot leave with a surprise. it the positions should be worked out in detail, and you know that you are already on your way to success, to the final signature. but i can tell about the plans of my battalion, when we did not have enough mines, shells, rebs, drones. this was not enough for us to win. i read today's, er, statements of both the ministry of defense and the general staff that all this is there, that there was enough equipment, that we increased production. fortifications have been built dozens of times, and this is just some kind of internal gap happening in me, i.e. either i don’t believe my eyes, and i i experienced something wrong in the directions where i was in zaporizhzhia and kharkiv, or simply someone is telling me fairy tales again, so i would very much like us to move from

plans to actions, because if it turns out that we were just preparing some story several months, while we were bleeding out on the eastern front, in order to go from the... to the states and promote the obvious things, the banal that can be written, sorry, in a taxi, then this may be the last visit of this nature, before the... during this visit to the united states of america, zelenskyi spoke about the fact that v he has no other plan for the current situation, that is, there was plan a, but it was before the war, now there is plan b, and therefore, how will the leadership of the ukrainian state behave , suddenly this plan of victory will not be liked by biden and other leaders of the united states of america, well to to... it is not known, but this does not mean that such a victory plan

should not exist inside the country. sergey, why doesn't he have plan a, or plan b, or plan c? he must have a plan, because this is the only plan for ukrainian victory. 10,000 km of fortification lines in several echelons. a full-fledged mobilization process from 2022, not at the beginning of the 24th. with an understandable result, military production was launched at ukrainian facilities, together with allies, attracting funds from the budget under multi-year programs, and with the funds of our allies as well, this is a plan for ukrainian victory, just why is it not written and why are we going to the united states without it, why we do not emphasize that here we have done it in our 5, 10, 20, 500... points, paid so much with lives and lives, and for the final victory we need

100 f16s, 200 f-35s and tomahawks, give them to us today, because we are not able to do this in principle, but our missiles are already flying at a distance of 500 km, so i think that president zelensky had everything, there is still a small chance everything to do, but we need to stop with experiments, beautiful outrageous statements, vivid messages, and understand that the war is serious, it is not someone who died at the front, or someone was wounded there, it is all of us, because when it ends people are at the front, then the horde will come here, calm kyiv, calm lviv, which for now is only wakes up from the explosions of rockets and rockets, but they will do the same in lviv, what they are doing now in pokrovsk, they will do the same in uzhhorod, what they are doing now in... in kharkiv, there is no difference, mr. major,

tell me please, judging by the reaction of the russian federation to the victory plan and, rather, to the document itself, it is not a question of the russians knowing the content of this document, although it may well be that they know this content of the document, perhaps much better, than we, who read there some... separate excerpts from the western press and try to understand whether it is true or not. piskov says that the war in ukraine will end when the goals set by russia are achieved in one way or another, that is, as i understand it, they are not going to stop and continue to increase the budget for the armed forces in the russian federation for the next year, and they . and continue to move forward, according to your observations, will

there be enough resources in the russian federation for a long time, and financial resources, and industrial resources, and human resources in order to continue the war against ukraine, and, accordingly, against everything. yesterday's i was actually comforted by the news that bloomberg published about the draft budget of the russian federation for 2025. perhaps for some people this is a reason for some kind of pessimism or hysteria, that everything must urgently end the war already this year, because we will definitely lose next year, or should we flee to the szh, because resistance is useless? i think the opposite. in the 24th year, russia spent 30% of the budget on military purposes, breaking the record of the soviet union in the last year of its existence. 40% of expenses are already planned for the next year. expenses on they will spend

more on defense and the army than on all other programs of their state, social, education, culture, economy, this is forgotten, there is only one goal - war. what this shows is that russia has no resources left to win, the west still hasn't launched a military machine, well, sorry for the frankness, but the finances...ukraine's aid to us is at the level of environmental programs there or separate gender programs of the western world. this is not war financing on the scale of the second world war. the second world war, the first or even a potential third or preparation for it, and even with such minimal funding, the russians cannot do what they even set out to capture donbas to the end, they cannot break ukraine, they cannot threaten the west, because their latest launches of nuclear missiles, the so-called sarmatians, which in fact, they are made

on the basis of the ukrainian satan, which we still cannot restart production for some reason, well , this is a separate story, well... they are inconsolable, the technological prospects of this country are no longer there, in the current dimension and yes, they still pose a serious threat to us , they tens of thousands of people are still being sent to death, and we simply objectively have nothing to stop them, because if we had enough artillery, enough bc, then there would be no russian advance in the eastern direction, but we have what we have , so i think russia will have... exceptionally big problems at the end of this year, which will increase exponentially next year, this is putin's slogan, coffins instead of apartments, this is once again proof of what is happening in their construction company market , there began a full crisis real estate, people have no money, and the state has nothing to support, it’s not from good, not

from good, they just run out of budget, they run out of funding for everything... except for the troops, that is, the fate of the soviet union awaits russia, well, you are at the beginning during our conversation, they said something that is very reminiscent, because we will remind our viewers that the soviet union fought in afghanistan, spent a lot on this war, as a result of which, after a ten-year war, the soviet union simply did not have the resources to actually to provide for the country and for this country to function normally and... this was one of the reasons for the collapse of the soviet union, well , let's hope that the predictions of the british foreign minister, that the war will continue until the 26th year, that this prediction will not come true , what do you think or not, they are more informed than we are,

and they have more pessimism about russia's war against ukraine. well, look, each side wants to convince the other that they understand the seriousness of this war, that this war is for a long time, and we are ready for such a long cycle. that is why it is said that after the fall of russia or the end of the war with russia in some way, there will be a continuation of the war with china, we must also prepare for this, this is normal rhetoric and... this is correct rhetoric, because only the strong are not attacked, the strong are feared. if we understand this philosophy for ourselves, and after the war we will not cut the funding of the army several times the next day, on the contrary, increase the funding, invest in military technology, so that any barbarian

knew that as soon as he approached the border of ukraine, he would be destroyed, everything would be okay with us. that's exactly what it's about. says the british minister, mr. volodymyr, another topic that has been in the media in social networks for the past few days is about possible personnel rotations in the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense, first there was information that the minister of defense of ukraine rustem umyerov fired two deputy chiefs of gur and may fire 20 generals and... sadovtsi also talk about the possibility of firing budanov himself. people's deputy of ukraine, member of the parliamentary committee on national security and defense, serhii rakhmanin, in an interview with radio nv, did not rule out the possibility of the dismissal of the head of the gur kyril budanov, quoting mr. rakhmanin. the fact that there are such very active rumors that

budanov can be removed from his post, and they have appeared for several months, is just evidence that ... his relationship with yermak has not been going well lately, that's mine assumptions, whether they have, have a relationship with yarmak, mr. major, be decisive at so who should remain in office during the war, and who should leave? unfortunately, this information is really circulating in the military, i think this is a very dangerous trend that is becoming widespread recently, when the traditions of management ... at the state level in the style of the quarter are now being transferred to the army, because there are so many controversial dismissals and very many strange appointments. even more is planned, and unprofessional criteria underlie all these planned dismissals, the military can see this, because they know well

who is who and who is from where, who did what before as it was appointed, it is a dangerous thing, because it can also be one of the components of defeat, if such a defeat is planned, still, i want to believe that we are all aimed at victory, and there will be no more personnel ... wolves , regarding budanov himself, well , i think that he is quite a public figure, who has long considered himself outside the boundaries of the gur, and in the event of a situation of unfair dismissal in his opinion, he can and should speak publicly, perhaps he will be the first person, who was released and finally told the truth. for the past five years, thank you mr. volodymyr, thank you for the conversation, i wish you good health, i know that you are in the hospital, so god grant you a

speedy recovery, this was volodymyr omelyan, major of the armed forces of ukraine, former minister of infrastructure. friends, we continue to work live on the espresso tv channel on our youtube and facebook platforms, if you watch us there, please like this video and subscribe to our channel. platform and take part in our vote. today we ask you about the following: are you satisfied with the work of the principal intelligence directorate of the ministry of defense. yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube, yes, no, two options, or please write comments and your thoughts below. if you're watching us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and 0800 211 381 if dialed. work gur, if 0800 211 82, all call numbers are free, vote at the end of the program, we will sum up the results of this vote. next

, we have viktor, chairman of the board of the institute of world politics. mr. viktor, i welcome you. thank you for joining us ether thank you for the invitation, always glad to see and hear from you. borrowed, very large and saturated. it's our foreign policy week, president zelenskyi went on a tour of the united states of america, tomorrow he has to speak at the un general assembly, then he will present the victory plan to biden, harris and trump, but today it all started with the speech of biden, the biden on whom zelensky is hoping , because he in... believes that this victory plan should be adopted or adopted by washington during the biden presidency, what biden said about

support of ukraine from the rostrum, from the high rostrum of the un general assembly. let's listen, because this is very important. now the world has to make a different decision. when we extend our support. to ukraine, in order for ukraine to preserve its sovereignty, we must do everything to ensure that the aggression does not repeat itself. and that's why i want to assure you that we cannot look away, we must stand in solidarity with ukraine in order for ukraine to ensure a lasting and just peace with its victory. mr. victor, is the world ready to do everything. as he said in order to the aggression was not repeated, and ukraine secured a lasting and just peace with its victory. the world is much more cynical than we

imagine, the world has much more interests than we imagine, and we have, in principle, calculated one decision, but a lot of decisions, actually. united states of america victory of ukraine as we see it? is it zelensky's victory plan, which no one in ukraine has seen before, or? can help our western partners, first of all the americans, to understand and consider whether to win. over

russia, because all the rhetoric of our western partners is that ukraine must not be defeated, but in this rhetoric the phrase is that russia must be defeated and the putin regime must be killed or he must be punished for the crimes what are the ukrainian states, and this is, in fact, the most important question for serhii. why we do not have such a slogan and why it is not you until now, because the west has survived until now so that there will be no more escalation, and an even greater escalation is the third world war, and actually both the team of democrats and in

team republicans, there are very similar understandings in the same way, in the sense that republicans and democrats believe that while putin's regime is in power, until that time it is necessary to somehow stop this war, put it on pause, and solve the issues already the next generations, the next presidents, in five... 6, 10 years, and actually when the regime falls or weakens, after that it will be possible to use this window of opportunity, and this position, unfortunately, is very often heard , it is possible for european politicians who believe that it is necessary, that is the current state, freeze as soon as possible, and

then go to the state. expectation. mr. victor. zelensky says that if the west does not help ukraine and does not help significantly in the next few months, then time can be lost, because the coming months, as zelensky says, will be decisive, he said this while receiving the award of the american academy of achievement, for 60 years celebrate with this award. for contribution to the development of humanity, and now zelenskyy has such an award, let's listen to what the president of ukraine said upon receiving this award. not so with us a lot of time, the next few months will be decisive in this war, russia's war against ukraine and all of you, because this is russia's war against freedom itself, we have little time to

determine what the outcome will be. and we must define it, not russia, not their bloody allies. we have to be faster, we have to not lose the next few months to war, lest we lose the next decades. mr. viktor, zelensky, when he talks about these next months and the fact that the next few months should not be lost, and so as not to lose the next decades, obviously speaking. about the decision, which was not adopted by our western partners, regarding strikes with long-range weapons of western long-range weapons on the territory of the russian federation, what deters the west in the current situation from such a decision, from such actions? i already said that, they believe that this will be another step towards escalation, this will be the crossing of another red line, and they

are worried that putin ... will be able to respond in the way that they are, with the possibilities that they are worried that he can, can strike and this is about nuclear weapons, that is, no matter how they say that the repetition of constant mentions of nuclear weapons does not lie in the heads of western politicians, it is laid from... unfortunately, and they constantly keep this function in their heads and believe that the crossing of additional red lines can really lead to the beginning of the third world war. but here i want to say that president zelensky is right, that there is a very big risk, precisely between the fifth of november and the inauguration of the new president.
