volodymyr, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine. good day, glory to the heroes. and mr. volodymyr, today i correctly read northern eurasia, specifically eurasia, not korea, but eurasia, eurasia, because last time i introduced mr. volodymyr, how about the director of the institute for the transformation of northern europe, here it is completely different, precisely eurasia, because it is necessary to include transformation of russia, maybe one day we will transform it, but today is not about that, today, as i said. we are about a visit volodymyr zelenskyi to north america, eventually to the united states of america, about his meeting, mr. volodymyr, we will discuss all the nuances in more detail during the conversation, now i just want your, well, general impression of this visit, well, i 'll start with the fact that since president zelenskyi extended his visit for one more day, you said, since sunday evening, now it will soon be friday evening, you would think that he enjoyed his visit and extended his stay in

the united states for one more day, but, but no, not this one once, the visit became scandalous, because of the interaction, communication with ex-president trump and his team, yes, the so-called trumpists, including with the speaker of the lower house, the house of representatives , mike johnson, that gave scandal because of this... visit because the election struggle, let's say, the internal political struggle in the united states, but the final results will be summed up, i think, with the president's return home and those decisions that he will make already at home, so to speak, including in internal personnel policy of ukraine. we'll see, we're waiting for his return, but now let's start with, well, not the main one, but one of the main ones. volodymyr zelenskyi planned and met with the current president of the united states of america, joe

biden, and with the presidential candidate kamela harris, one of those, i watched these interviews, then reread the transcripts, and from all that i saw, it seemed to me , that it was, well, it was announced very seriously and pathetically, from everything that happened, it seems to me that it was some kind of, unfortunately, i think, er meetings for the sake of meetings, nothing new, well, since we were not participants in these or previous meetings, it is unlikely that we can assess what was new said in the closed part or not, we can guess and even discuss it, but that what i agree with, what you say, here is the so-called or the same plan of victory, which was widely... announced and i would even promote it in the media specifically to focus,

attract attention to it, it formed certain expectations, waiting as in ukrainian society, as well as among our foreign partners, including the americans in the united states, they expected that zelensky's victory plan is what they usually understand by the word plan, and we make a list of actions one, two, three, four , and from these actions. well, a single strategy, a common goal is emerging, and that it is really something new, but by and large the comments of the western press boil down to the fact that this is all this so -called plan, it does not change any strategy, it is not essentially anything something new a new plan, these are simply new requests or demands or insistences, to increase aid to ukraine, first of all military and security aid, well... there are different weapons, types, methods and so on, striking

deep into russian territory, all this if that's right, it's something that we need, not just here and now, but yesterday and the day before yesterday we needed it, but, but we lacked it, here, but there are such and such others, there are other nuances, except, except of this list of equipment, weapons and funds, which i... need for victory, there is also economic, well, a direction or section, some kind of diplomatic assistance, and political, which is characteristic, yes military, economic, political. and diplomatic, four, so to speak, trunk lines or directions, if it gave the impression that these should be complex measures of some kind, or a complex plan, but there seems to be no clear list of what is needed, what , what can we do, well, i still think that there is no clear list of the military there, well, at least from what we know,

no, that the request, that we need that, that, that, it is, they even say, well, our partners talk about it, about it, that and... but there is no list of what we will do to make it, well, i think that the military is here, there are, there are military aspects that the military knows what to do, they don't need to be told and they don't need to be interfered with, here, but what i would like to pay attention to, that i was interested in what is least discussed, this is the political part, yes, which, which, what political aspects can appear in this plan, and it is obvious that it is the fact that president zelenskyi and the ukrainian... she should offer our partners, well, not that in exchange for weapons and money, but well, at least accompanying this process from its side, and a clear description of what it is, well, it is mentioned somewhere, well, political reforms, for example, but what kind of political reforms , are these elections, or are these changes to some

general democratic legislation, or are these changes to the constitution, in the end yes, which will allow us to somehow be flexible in something else or, on the contrary, not to give in to something, we have not yet, unfortunately we know, maybe in such a way, i would say so, no to the non-public part of the negotiations, which we do not know from official reports, maybe there will be comments, but not unofficial reports, maybe the ukrainian side offered the biden administration some steps to meet their wishes, and these wishes... were sounded before and will continue and were not final satisfied, this is the topic of the fight against corruption, and the personnel issues related to it, which should be resolved, resolved in order to have closer and more trusting relations with the administration of joseph biden all this time, which were not resolved, well, i want to remind you that on the eve of state secretary blinkin's visit to kyiv at

the beginning of september, one of the... deputy heads of the president's office, mr. shurma, resigned, as if on his own, and this, in principle, fit into the expectations of our partners, and there is more one deputy of the head of the office named tatarov, who is also criticized by many, many journalists and public figures, and i understand that foreign diplomats as well, well, not publicly, but they make it clear that this is a personnel problem, in that including the problem in ukrainian-american relations. well, maybe this decision, or similar decisions will be adopted, or have been adopted, has something like that been promised, something like that to be done in order to, well, if not get full support there for the victory plan, then at least the decisions that were announced yesterday about providing ukraine with financial support there, in the amount of almost 8 billion dollars, this

could be an additional argument for a positive decision, let's say so, but again ... we will see all this only after when president zelensky will return to kyiv, and well, let's watch his decisions, especially personnel decisions, they may not be right away, they may not be on the second day, not on the third day, but some reforms in the government and in the president's office, most importantly, should take place, well, we'll see, we'll wait for the president to return, but look, here's one more thing, i'll be honest, this is exactly the topic i planned with you. discuss a little later, but since you started talking about it, i started with the main one, let's let's talk about one more the thing is, of course, these conversations that we don't know about, they happened on the sidelines, what was said on camera, that's just, in general, in general terms, both president joe biden and

presidential candidate kamala said haris that the united states of america will always be with ukraine until the victorious end, and we will help ukraine, is nothing new, but on september 21 , volodymyr zelenskyy told journalists that there was already an online meeting with the russians, regarding future negotiations, what do you think? in all this, could there have been any pressure from the outside? of the united states of america about this, and how is it possible, does it all tie together somehow, well, i'm familiar with this media report, what about this statement, and i know that... what kind of negotiations even not direct, as they say now, but online somewhere through the internet, they are still conducted through an intermediary, that is, everyone in the conference is present... but everyone addresses the intermediary, and the intermediary communicates in turn with both parties, and with the ukrainian, and with russian, here it is important to know what kind of topic these were negotiations, because the fact that such

negotiations are conducted, for example, on the topic of the release of prisoners, or hostages, or civilians who are illegally obtained somewhere on the russian side, all this happens through intermediaries, we heard about turkish intermediaries, about qatar , we... have heard about the united arab emirates, but for the united states to act as a mediator in the ukrainian-russian conflict, we have never heard of such a thing. i think that this has not happened yet, at least the official position of the white house and the state department remains that ukraine itself has to decide what and how, how to conduct negotiations, when to conduct negotiations, under what conditions, that is, here so far the united states, well, in such a way, they did not put any very hard or decisive pressure on the ukrainian side, well, at least we about us... about this nothing is known, most likely it is so, so it is, but some informal influences, advice, there, wishes, formulation

of one's expectations, it can be, and it sounds in the public space, and by and large, and the government of the united states or the administration of president biden, and other western ours, ours partners, our friends, in fact, those who help us, and their expectations... after all , recently they tend towards a certain freezing of the conflict, that is about the main thing, the key thing, the main thing is to stop, stop hostilities, all this is very reminiscent of the phrase back then , presidential candidate zelensky was saying how to stop it, well, just stop shooting, everything is very simple, it seemed like it then, now it doesn’t seem like it anymore, but it still seems like it to our partners, who are not included directly. question, but does it even exist, in your opinion, or the possibility diplomatic perhaps freezing the war? er, diplomacy can be used to

freeze, as you say, war, but only after politicians make political decisions, and politicians can decide about it, yes, politicians will make political decisions and instruct diplomats to formalize them in some way, diplomats will find a way to arrange it, they said. the choice of tools, there would only be what is called political will for this, political will comes from politicians, and politicians cannot afford it, primarily from internal political reasons, because society, well, at least ukrainian society, well, the conditions of the kremlin's surrender simply will not accept, does not accept and will not accept, well, this must be understood, and the russian side is not going to accept other conditions than the surrender of ukraine, therefore.. ... a diplomatic solution in the search for a compromise, and in the search for such a solution that would satisfy both parties, simply does not exist. and what can happen, well, what conditions must

be met in order to at least stop, to stop conducting, well, the active phase of hostilities, i am not talking about the complete settlement, i think that it is impossible, but a certain cessation of hostilities or remote shelling, it is in principle possible when, then, when some party, in our case... preferably the russian federation, its armed forces, so that its armed forces lose combat capability , when they can be exhausted, or whether the armed forces, or the whole society, whether there is the economy, other resources, you can be the russian society exhausted, maybe just longer and harder, but somewhere it is already starting to feel it, if before it felt a little fatigue from this war, well, those who are not physically present. at the front and their families, and everyone else, well, now they will begin to feel that the coming year will be especially difficult for them, but there is not

so much hope or hope for russian society, more for the exhaustion of their armed forces, and here even not about the mobilization resource, they can and are recruiting new and new ones, but above all the moral and psychological resource of the leadership, generals, officers, and most importantly combat capability. of their divisions, they they lose a lot of equipment, a lot of people, and it is inevitable that it does not go away, it necessarily leads sooner or later, at some stage of fighting, to exhaustion, to loss of fighting capacity, they must be withdrawn from the front line, this is a classic, there are rotations, this it's the same in all armies, but russian, russian troops have been conducting offensive operations for almost a year now, but they started their offensive campaign... with the operation near bakhmut, it seems to be october last year, but now we are approaching october again, it's been a long, long time to carry out offensive actions without interruption, without

recovery, so i think that it is about to... here, here, here, here, here, there may be a turning point, well, we will see, i would like to, i would like to, now the editor told me that before mr. volodymyr and i started the broadcast, volodymyr zelenskyi was just meeting with donald trump in front of the camera, before the journalists came out and said something, but now the editor told me that the meeting between volodymyr zelenskyi and donald trump has started, well, it will be interesting later on espresso see to what agreed, if we agreed on something, because it is difficult to talk with donald trump, well, in the end , it is difficult to get some things from him, which can then be understood, what, what, what, what is meant, but we will see, let's wait and see how it turns out will be, and you and i will return to this, as you have already called it, a bit of the scandal of this visit, which was added, so volodymyr zelensky went to

the military plant... for the production of ammunition, the plant is located in pennsylvania, this is a state called state, who is wavering during the election, that is, they can't figure out who they should vote for, the republicans or the democrats, so he went to this factory, it's great that he went there, it's really good that he met with these people, absolutely i don't mind, the only thing that seems wrong to me is that he went there with three senators who represent the democratic party, before the election that will be held in... november is a month and how many weeks away, well two weeks, to drive or far-sighted it was, i think, short-sighted, even more short-sighted, i think it was a few days ago to talk on the air of one of the american tv channels about the speech of the candidate for vice president from the republicans, that is, the one who can work with donald trump, jd vance, as volodymyr zelensky called

him... to jd vance's statement about ukraine that at some point we should sacrifice our territories, although i, as a ukrainian, do not agree with this, of course, but volodymyr zelensky on the air of the american called the tv channel too radical statements, it was not liked, if in the first case, during the visit of volodymyr zelensky to the military plant with senators, democrats, it was not liked first of all by the trumpists, who are represented in the house of representatives. in as well as in the senate of the congress of the united states of america and there even one of the heads of one of the committees, the house of representatives, even initiated an investigation, but again he is part of this group of trumpists, they did not like it, trumpists want an investigation, why, because they consider it an influence on the election campaign in the united states of america, so in the second case, when volodymyr zelenskyi called jaydy

vance's statements too radical, i... already searched, not even the trumpists, who were dissatisfied with this, for example, senator john cornen, who can replace mick mcconnell, is the current republican leader in the senate, and by the way, this john cornen was one of the 22 republicans who voted for the allocation of aid to ukraine, when the trumpists blocked this allocation help, here is this senator: on the air of one of the american tv channels. quote: i believe that this is a colossal miscalculation by president zelenskyi, if he wants ukraine's support, he should stay away from american politics. and by the way, the same thing, practically the same thing, well almost word for word was repeated by his colleague, who was also one of the 22 senators who voted for the allocation of aid to ukraine, this is senator whip john tum tun, so you understand,

this senator. whip john thune, he even argued last year with ron desantis, the governor of florida, who said at the time that support for ukraine has nothing to do with american security at all, and therefore we need to rethink support for ukraine, but this very senator said that no, it is support for ukraine in this war with russia that is a very important element in american security policy, so both of them did not even lift a finger at volodymyr zelenskyi, but they clearly said: you want help... do not get involved in american politics, mr. volodymyr, there are more questions than answers, or answers there are, well, there are questions, and there are answers, and there are even options for answers, you can go through them, but i will say this here that this advice is not to get involved in the domestic politics of the united states or in the american elections, this is very practical advice, and if it was

made before the visit, price would not have this advice, but now.
