we will certainly discuss this topic in our next programs and other topics during the next week, we will collect information for you and we will see you next saturday, mr. vitaly, i sincerely thank you for the inclusion for your expert opinions for your analysis vitaly portnikov and andriy smoliy were in the live espresso tv channel. let's hold on and everything will be ukraine. greetings to all viewers of the espresso tv channel. this is the summary of the week. iryna koval works for you in the studio. and today in the issue: details of zelensky's visit to the usa about which countries.

use their weapons against ukraine and when we can expect demobilization, about this and much more below. therefore, the most resonant topic of the past week was the visit of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi to the united states of america. first of all, he was going there to participate in the 79th session of the un general assembly in new york. on september 24 , zelensky spoke at the un security council and called on western countries to force russia to peace, because since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the russian army has been doing things that cannot be justified under the un charter. the next day at the meeting of the general assembly of the united nations, the president emphasized russia's numerous genocidal crimes against ukraine, such as the shelling of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and the destruction of 85% of electricity generation. but in addition to that, volodymyr zelenskyi conducted a whole series of events.

meetings in washington. more about the visit in our story. the american dream that almost became a tragedy. president zelensky's fifth visit to the united states since the beginning of the full-scale invasion did not immediately go as planned. visiting the factory with production of artillery shells on the first day of the train turned into a scandal. all because of its location - the state of pennsylvania. this is a key field. battle between democrats and republicans, which could decide the fate of the november elections. zelensky arrived there accompanied by the governor and other state officials. all of them were democrats, and that seems to have angered the republican camp. in particular, it led to the cancellation of the meeting between the ukrainian leader and the speaker of the lower house of congress, mike johnson, who wrote to the ukrainian a letter with an ultimatum to the president. dear president. i demand that you immediately

release the ambassador of ukraine to the united states, oksana markarova. the visit was an obvious party campaign event designed to help the democrats, and is definitely an interference in the election process. this short-sighted, deliberately political move has resulted in republicans losing confidence in ambassador markarova's ability to honestly and effectively carry out her diplomatic functions in this country. mike johnson, speaker of the us house of representatives. these were the first. more signs of the political the tornado that the ukrainian delegation got into, republican candidate donald trump, who until now tried to speak about ukraine and its president, discreetly and avoiding specifics, abruptly changed the record. he accused zelensky of "dirty little attacks" against him, and also complained that the ukrainian leader did not want to make a deal with putin to end the war. of ukraine. no, this is no longer ukraine,

you will never be able to replace these cities and towns, and you will never be able to replace the dead people, so many dead people, any deal, even the worst, would be better than what we have now. perhaps the narcissistic politician was offended by zelensky's statements, which he made on the eve of his visit to the united states in an interview with the new yorker. in particular, the president of ukraine suggested that trump does not know how to end the war and where. the proposal of his partner jaydy vance to freeze the conflict along the contact line, and perhaps it was a premeditated strategy of the trump camp: to draw ukraine into the american elections and accuse the democrats of foreign interference. the situation seemed very bad, but in the end the meeting between trump and zelensky took place. thanks to which it is not clear to the end. it is only known that it was agreed upon at the last moment and in...

the ukrainian leader was even forced to extend his visit to the united states for a day. do you think that ukraine should give its territories to russia? we'll see what happens. what do you plan to say to zelenskyi? peace must be achieved, we need peace, we must end the death and destruction. you don't think so, will it be bad? these statements were heard in the new york skyscraper trump tower, one of the official residences of the former president, on thursday evening, zelensky arrived here already on friday morning. this time, trump praised the ukrainian leader for his courage during the war and his neutral stance. during the impeachment proceedings against trump back in 2019, but continued his rhetoric about the need to quickly stop the war. i think we have a common vision that the war in ukraine must be stopped. putin should not win, and ukraine should win. we have

a very good relationship, and i also have a good relationship relations with president putin. i think when we win, we will very quickly solve all this... i hope we have a better relationship with you, of course, but it takes two to tango, the meeting lasted an hour, after it ended, trump and zelensky went to the press again, the republican candidate said he was in favor of a fair deal, but again avoided specifics and publicly accepted zelensky's invitation to come to ukraine, once in any case the worst-case scenario of a tough confrontation. with one of the presidential candidates, the ukrainian leader in the latter the moment was avoided. today i had a very productive and detailed meeting with donald trump. i am very grateful. all in all, it was a busy, long, extremely important week in america. meetings with another camp

of american politicians at first glance went better. president biden announced a new $2 billion security package. 400 million dollars, and also guaranteed that ukraine will receive all the reserved 8 billion dollars of aid by the end of his presidential term. the armed forces will provide join stand of weapon winged aerial bombs with a range of up to 110 km. let me be blunt: russia will not win the war, russia will not win, ukraine will win, and we will continue to stand by you. still determined. vice president and democratic candidate kamala garis in her statements promised to seek victory for ukraine if she becomes president, and rejected trump and vance's ideas about peace at any cost. some in my country

would force ukraine to surrender a significant part of its sovereign territory, would demand that ukraine accept neutrality and renounce security agreements with other countries. these. position is no different from putin's proposals, these are proposals not for peace, but for capitulation, this is dangerous and unacceptable. despite encouraging statements and new aid packages in the white house, the victory plan that zelenskyi brought to the united states was cautiously evaluated. to try to reverse the course of the war, which, according to many observers, is not going to ukraine's advantage. biden did not give a public assessment of the document, but white house officials for information. american media were skeptical of the plan, saying it was more of a recruitment without strategic depth please. volodymyr zelenskyi will also not bring a permit from america to strike deep into russia with western weapons. biden has not yet dared to remove another taboo. presumably,

the current us president will discuss this issue again with the leaders of germany, france and great britain. the meeting in the ramstein format should take place on october 12 in germany. and it is unlikely that the current american administration should be expected to make any drastic moves, at least until november 5, when the american election hills can take the wagon world politics on a new unpredictable trajectory. by stopping putin in ukraine, the west can avert the start of the third world war. a column on the signs of a rapidly approaching global war was published by columnist george weale in the washington post. he explains that putin will not stop at ukraine and will continue his attack on the west. the author mentions the tripartite pact of 1940 between germany, italy and japan, which is now being followed by cooperation between russia, china, iran and north korea. all these countries

use their weapons against ukraine. george weale is convinced that the west should make more efforts to defeat putin. otherwise, the world faces a tragic defeat. meanwhile, china handed over a number of drones to russia to test them in ukraine. this is stated in the material of the british. the times. anonymous officials in a comment to journalists confirmed that the agreement was concluded last year. however, they did not disclose the names of the chinese companies. insiders also confirmed that russia has established a program in china to develop and produce long-range radio judge strike drones that can also be used against ukraine. the people of varanasi were worried about the probable armed alliance and are conducting. on this occasion. meanwhile, on the front, the russians continue to press

in the kharkiv direction in the liptsi region, near tykhi and vovchansk. on september 24, gur was informed that the vovchan aggregate plant had been released. the occupiers continue to advance in the donetsk region. pokrovsk, kurakhove, and ugledar remain the most difficult sections of the front. in the pokrovsky direction, the enemy is advancing near vodyanyi, staromaiskyi. and in a steep ravine. about this according to deep state data. fierce fighting took place near a coal mine in southern donetsk region. there was information about the threat of encirclement of the city by russian troops. however, on thursday, fighters of the 72nd separate mechanized brigade said that ugledar was under the control of the armed forces of ukraine. also, our troops continue the offensive operation on kurshchyna. issues of mobilization and demobilization. servicemen remain one of the most acute challenges for ukraine. despite

numerous appeals from the military, their families and public organizations there is no concrete plan for demobilization yet. but there are more and more cases of arbitrary abandonment of parts. tetyana golonova understood the intricacies of this complex issue. demobilization of servicemen who have been there for almost three years. on the front line is one of the hottest and most debated topics in ukraine. on the one hand, the armed forces are facing a shortage of personnel against the background of active pressure from russian forces. on the other hand, our soldiers are exhausted and need rest recovery of health. discussions of service limits began in early 2024 during consideration of the mobilization law. however, the relevant provisions were excluded from of the moment, which entered into force on may 18. since then,

there have been very few public statements about demobilization. we don't have clear terms of service, because we have problems with mobilization, and i will say that it has gotten a little worse there recently than it was before, and my question is how we can define these clear terms of service that i also perform and prescribed it in the same way to his bill on motivation, if we have no one to replace him. in september 2022, a petition appeared on the president's website with a request to demobilize at the request of military personnel who had served a year. oleksiy reznikov, who held the position of minister of defense, commented on this request at the same time. he stated that if a million people are fighting and they need to be demobilized, then in return it is necessary to recruit and train a million. exactly one year ago , the new minister of defense, rustem umerov, spoke about demobilization. he stated that... that this mechanism can be applied only after the end of the war. hope appeared when

the military command agreed to include in the new law a provision for demobilization after 36 months of continuous service. together with the ministry of defense, we agreed on the figure of 36 months, hoping for two points: first, that there will be no escalation at the front, this is one time, and secondly, the most important thing is that these people... in 36 months, who will be to replace, and now this is the government that has undertaken, let's say, to implement this law, i think they clearly understand what opportunities in our country, i hope that after 36 months we will cope with the task of replacing those people who are really in extremely difficult conditions, in february 2024 the verkhovna rada adopted the draft law on mobilization in the first reading, in that version of the document , there was still a provision on demobilization, but before the second

reading in april, such a norm was excluded, as oleksandr zavitnevich, the head of the national security committee, later told, the norm on demobilization was removed, because during the development of the draft law there was one situation at the front, at the time of its adoption, it is already completely different, and until now the legislators cannot find a common denominator and make a decision. active military personnel and their families have the hardest time, if you take half-year contracts, it is morally easier than. stop by for a year, for two, like the way the boys are fighting now, which, well, they don’t change, just, well, that is, i won here for six months, came home, rested, well, recovered, and you can go again, but like we currently do not have a clear framework for when there will be demobilization or rotation or replacement, that is

it is very difficult, recently the commander of the air reconnaissance department 56... of the sixth separate motorized infantry brigade of mariupol serhiy gnezdilov said that he voluntarily leaves his unit after five years of service. this step, in his opinion, should draw attention to important problems, in particular, the lack of a clear policy on demobilization. according to him, during the 11 years of the war with russia, society and the government did not find the strength to seriously and honestly talk about the complex realities of the protracted war. when i joined the army five years ago, for some reason i believed that this was important to the country and that i was needed where i was, um, i did what i was supposed to do, 5 years of impeccable service, but total no, total uncertainty,

how many years of my life should i give to the country , it depresses. actually happens. more than 100,000 servicemen have voluntarily left their units since the beginning of 2022. military lawyer of the center for providing support to veterans and their families, roman lykhachov, announced such statistics on the kyiv-24 tv channel. he also noted that in some cases about the szh 230 people appear at the same time. according to the sbi lawyer, there are currently no resources to investigate. these criminal proceedings, the question of demobilization hung in the air, because russia's brutal war against our country continues, and the pace of mobilization of new people into the army does not meet the existing needs of the ukrainian defense forces. tatyana golonova, espresso tv channel. the village of posad pokrovske in the kherson

region has become a shield for southern cities since the beginning of the full-scale war. for nine months , the front line passed through it, for hundreds meters from there, fierce battles took place. the picturesque village was literally wiped off the face of the earth by the occupiers. in 2023, people began to return home, because they were promised that their homes would be rebuilt. natalya stareprava saw how people live there now. after all , we were very well off before the war, we had everything, as they say, and the cow kept the chickens. and grandchildren were babysat, and they took away, as they say, old age from us, and youth and youth from children, they took away everything, it just got worse, more boiled, because they already thought they had already built a house, we will live, as they say, do not long to babysit, raise children, wait for the next generation, but it destroyed everything, took away

all our hopes, expectations, i don't even know how to say it, mrs. marina found a full-scale war in... in her native village, for some time she lived in a cellar, but i realized that it was dangerous to stay, i stayed, i have a cow, i have a heifer, i have a household, my mother went with us, but i have to, i say, define the cow somewhere, well, she was sitting in the cellar like a neighbor’s boy runs, the neighbor says, aunt marina, get out of here, that as you sit, the cow stayed in the barn, and the heifer stayed, well, people contacted me, thank you very much. when she returned, she did not recognize her native yard, as a result of the shelling , mrs. marina's house was completely destroyed, i had a bath here, well, in short, there was also water here, well, there is no boiler, but i had just arrived there, i have a satellite dish here, maybe they thought that some kind of radar or something was thrown here, i don't know, it's already the cry of the soul, you believe, but

it was so cozy here, the tiles are left. very sorry, very sorry that they took it from us, we lived in the village, people kept a lot of cows here, tractors used to sow seeds, there were always vegetables, we always had everything, the gardens were planted, not a single house survived in the village of posad pokrovske in the kherson region, here the front line passed, and the russians tried to wipe the village off the face of the earth. mrs. olena also remembers her house with trepidation. there was a house, my parents built, we built our future here, i grew up here, my daughter grew up, my grandchildren didn't have to grow up, so... we were left without a house, it's a pity, it's painful, because arrived in one day, everything destroyed our life, and before the war, my husband and i

did a major repair of the house ourselves, we did everything, we had a very good floor, but we did everything with windows, as we thought, everything will be fine here, they built this fence themselves, but they put their money here, as they say... money and everything, you see, we are not upset, because we have to live on, like all fellow villagers, the woman and her family were forced to flee from heavy fighting , when they returned, they saw only ruins instead of their native house. volunteers, - says ms. olena, more they help with food and necessary materials so that at least the locals can live somewhere, they were given modular houses that look like oilcloth tents. we arranged ourselves so that we brought everything in here, go through, go through, divided the bedroom and the kitchen, if it’s hot, they gave us

a fan, if it’s cold, look at the battery, we’re warming up, well, if it’s -40 in winter, then no to warm up, people began to return to the village in the spring of 2023, because they were promised that new houses would be built for them, our souls were here all the time, because here, here i grew up here, i was born here, i grew up here, my children grew up here, my granddaughter was born here, i want to go home, i said, even if nothing happens, i will come home, i know that this is my home, this is my country , and i'm needed here, i'm needed here, you know, as my grandmother used to say: where i was born, there i agreed. posad pokrovske of the chornobayiv community was included in the experimental state project. according to this program, they planned to build a completely new village.

the first 130 houses were to be restored by april 2024. when we arrived in the last week in september 2024, they did not see either the erected buildings or the builders. what remained was a landfill and innocent people, without a roof over their heads. only a pile of bricks remained on the site of ms. nina's house, they cannot rebuild her house, because she lacks all the documents, she lives wherever she can, she says that

it is impossible to winter in a modular house, so she is waiting for a temporary house to be built from wooden boards, in we have such an organization here, these believers, and they bring wooden houses to us, put them up, and people live like that. it's a dog they brought the booth, why did they bring it to us, how it is hot in the summer and cold in the winter, our community, they don't need us, absolutely, we don't need anyone, another problem in the village is the lack of gas and even water, pipes allegedly carried out, but the project stopped there, in the opposite part of the village, where mrs. nina lives, there is water, because her people take water from the pressure bar. it's good that although the electricity has been installed, it's a pity that there is no gas, because you see, all the pipes are completely broken, but there is water, it's very

difficult that there is no water, because water is the main thing is, well, we have a small well, well , it sometimes has water, sometimes it doesn’t, but this year we also asked to sit in the garden, we dug up potatoes, we planted tomatoes, we planted zucchini, cucumbers, well, we already harvested a little , that is, we ask to live. with my life, i tried to advance it a little or something, well, to be honest, i called the hotline, i think, if something is needed there, then help these people of ours so that it has already progressed here, well, i’m looking at something, i don’t know, they said, there will be water , everything will be, there will be water, there will be some chicken running around the yard, there will be some cow, there will be something. natalya stareprava, oscar jansons, espresso tv channel. this is what our team saw this week, i, iryna koval, was with you.
