that's right. what is the position of the three countries that i will name, which is, well, of course, iran, and what can iran actually do, because there have been repeated threats from the vice president of iran, we see that there is once again some kind of revenge announced, another once there they say that israel will end there, well, we already know these scarecrows. further, we have not yet heard the turkish position, or maybe we heard, maybe i didn't hear, we heard erdogan condemned israel, maybe i didn't hear, because erdogan, we remember the howl that arose after the operation actually began against hamas, against terrorists, and what was erdoğan doing there in general, and in turkey, what were the rallies, and before... about china, which is interesting, about china, china,

for vaan-yi, about whom we today we are talking a lot, he stated that china firmly supports lebanon in protecting its security, this is a more cautious statement than erdogan's, but it must be said that there is also france, which is also interested in there was no war ee in... lebanon, because france has special interests in lebanon, and she believes itself responsible for the security of lebanon as a former metropolis, and israel also has to reckon with this, that is, not us, of course, none of the politicians in france support hezbollah, but one way or another, the lebanese topic is always used in the french domestic political context, even you know , that melenchon, he is coming. to beirut

as a sign of solidarity with lebanon, and all this is also seen by his political opponent there, because you understand that many french voters are people of arab origin, which means that they immediately find themselves in melenchon's pocket after such visits, so of course in this situation, i will not even hide that i think that now the french also, well, two minutes ago the french foreign minister called for... the french foreign minister called for an immediate end to the israeli abiodars on iran, you see, we just started talking about it, he already made this statement in sync with my thoughts about france, and this must also be realized, so of course turkey will support not just lebanon, it will support hezbollah, and russia will to support... iran, iran will support

hezbollah, and there are countries that will support lebanon and try to restore stability there, this is primarily, as we understand it, what is the position, what is the position of the united states of america in this case, the united states is trying to pretend, that they have nothing to do with what's going on, they don't want to take responsibility, minister of defense. and before that no one informed him, that is, the united states does not support israel, does not condemn it, and in fact occupies such the position of not applying one's own role in this.

e history, that is, there are actually no americans among the critics of israel, there are russians, as you know, because, i don’t know if you saw the statement from moscow, which was after the death of the shit, but this is also a rather important statement, in fact, which condemns israel, and here... absolutely clearly in the statement of the ministry of foreign affairs of russia, it is said that moscow strongly condemns the latest political assassination carried out by israel and insists that israel cease hostilities, well, this is like support, and and by the way, russian propaganda essentially stands on the positions of ezbulla, today i specifically inspected russian military personnel, russian propagandists there.

all these nightingales and so on, and there, if they do not directly talk about it, then indirectly they talk about the fact that it is terror, about what is happening in the world. and for some reason you accuse russia there and so on and the like, that is, in fact, in fact, maybe not so expressed, but russia clearly demonstrates whose side it is on, of course, and it is obvious that russia, it is on iran first, but now it is very important to understand how iran will really act, because in principle i absolutely agree with them. who say that the elimination of hassan nasrallah is a direct blow to iran, you see, that was not the case with hamas, hamas is an organization that iran could always put under the knife, so to speak, this is a sunni organization, these are people who were just on the bait of these, of

the iranians, and they could, in principle, use them to destabilize israel. the book women at war is a joint project of the espresso tv channel and the duh i publishing house letter. the book is based on the reports of the presenter of the espresso tv channel khrystyna parubiy. 20 stories, 20 fates, 20 women who defended the country. the book is dedicated to women who chose the path of fighting the enemy in military llamas. women at war, search in bookstores of ukraine. with the support of the konstantin zhivago charitable foundation.

overseas and european. at the same time, we will talk about how the west will adjust its concept of war, taking into account the fact that the armed forces of ukraine have raised a year. escalation by destroying the strategic warehouses of the russian federation in the territory of the tver region, well and let's talk, of course, about the impact of the kurdish operation of the armed forces of ukraine on consciousness. bryza and dmitry oreshkin. matthew bryza, ex-adviser of the secretary of state of the united states, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the national security council of the united states, will be working on the air of the tv channel. glory to ukraine, dear mr. ambassador, i welcome you to the espresso studio. well, extremely important signals. i emphasize, the signals come from us as from the means en masse. information, as well as from certain diplomatic sources. we understand that a very tough war is going on, our fighters

are on the territory of the russian federation in the kursk region, an extremely bloody operation in the pokrov direction, when we speak of pro-russian interventionists, and at the same time, yes, we regularly hear one or another reports about the so-called peace talks and possible ones other arrangements. let it not be without... mediocre direct agreements, but in any case they are talking about the so-called possible package visions, and what is most important, the president of ukraine will present to the leadership of the united states, in particular to president joseph biden, the ukrainian peace plan in order to put pressure on russia, the aggressor state. how do you see the situation? yes, we know that president zelensky is going to present his peace plan to president biden. and with that comes high expectations, at least outside the white house, with keir

starmer recently visiting washington, and then foreign minister david lamy and secretary of state anthony blinken visiting president zelensky, expected important decisions by the usa and great britain. it was assumed that the leaders could allow ukraine to use missiles to attack and storm shadow on targets deep in russian territory. but this. has not yet been announced. the us president's national security adviser jake sullivan was recently asked about this clearance. and he simply replied, "i cannot make any announcement at this time. that does not mean that permission has not been granted, or that it will not be granted. it simply means that the united states is not ready to discuss this issue openly. at this time the momentum in the biden administration and the starmer administration in london seems to be moving in the direction of support. of president zelenskyi's plan, helping ukraine defend itself against russian attacks

with cruise bombs and ballistic missiles, and i believe that this is a positive momentum. ambassador approach to such things, as in your opinion. parameters could be considered, what kind of plan this potential peace plan could be, taking into account the fact that the aggressor state is against peace negotiations, and they want fixation on the land, that is, they want to control our captured territories, so what to do with those who there could be parameters of what is called this negotiated peace process. i will say that i do not have access to president zelensk's plan. since i live here in turkey, but it is obvious that a large part of it is that the russian military

forces must withdraw from the entire ukrainian territory they occupied, including crimea and donbas. undoubtedly, russia should recognize the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. unfortunately, i do not know what place in zelenskyi's peace plan will be allocated to ukraine's strategic orientation in the future. as early as march 22, there were rumors about... not too secret negotiations taking place in istanbul between representatives of ukraine and russia, as reported, they included ukraine's announcement of a political or geostrategic neutrality, which would mean that no one would put pressure on ukraine to join nato, and a ceasefire when russia withdraws all its troops that entered ukraine during the second invasion in february 22, the question of legal status . donbass and crimea should be withdrawn for about 15 years, maybe this part of the plan, although i

doubt it, definitely the core of zelensky's perspective is a ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of russian troops, what he is willing to offer in return as an incentive for russia, i don't know. well, in general, there are two certain approaches, so, on the one hand, we understand that in the administration of president biden, perhaps in london, perhaps in some other progressive defenses. in the capitals, they understand that it is possible to force russia only by destroying certain of its power, military, logistical , and so on, that is, if russia were to weaken, it could... go to one or another negotiation, yes, because what they put forward diplomatic table, in simple language it is called an ultimatum with further maintenance of the currently occupied territories. the russians would like to take at least 30% of our territory, to make us a non-aligned state under the control of the russian federation. yes, this is one story, on the other

hand, in washington they understand that if it is possible to shake up the russian economy and... protect the russian military machine, accordingly, this may force putin to revise one or another of his demands, but we understand that there are also big powerful players , china, brazil, india and the so -called great global south, yes, and they would like to achieve certain results at our ukrainian expense, yes, well, and accordingly, in my opinion, that is why it was the so-called course operation was launched because the russians constantly... talked about the realities on the ground, and the realities on the ground are now such that we keep part of the territory of the russian federation under military control, accordingly, the brazilian-chinese plan suffered a certain actual fiasco. maybe i 'm wrong, and accordingly, if we talk about zelensky's plan there, we said, let 's talk about joseph biden's plan now, how

can we stop the russian bear if we lack long-range missile... systems, aviation and appropriate authorizations from the united states, use it to destroy russian military facilities. first of all, i don't think chinese or brazilian plans matter. what matters is whether the united states, great britain and other nato allies will provide ukraine with the capabilities necessary to weaken the russian armed forces to the point where russia simply cannot continue its... policy, as i mentioned at the beginning of our interview in my opinion, it is extremely necessary for ukraine to obtain permission for use atakams and storm shadow long-range missiles deep in russian territory. the recent attack in the western tver region in the city of toropets was a spectacular drone strike that caused huge explosions throughout the city.

the destruction of stockpiles of ballistic missiles, glider bombs and other munitions clearly affected russia's capability. to carry out attacks using these weapons on the territory of ukraine, whether ukraine will be able to achieve similar success with atakam and storm shadow missiles remains to be seen. it seems logical that ukraine has been able to achieve significant results using drones, which are much easier to shoot down. it can do even more with atakam and stormshadow ballistic missiles, as well as cruise missiles, to potentially weaken russia's ability to continue the war. according to british military intelligence, citing the ukrainian general staff, russia loses more than 100 soldiers killed or wounded every day, and as of today it has suffered more than 610,000 casualties. this level of losses is unacceptable in long term, although putin may continue to throw people into battle. these forces are

insufficiently qualified and insufficiently trained. in the east of ukraine, the offensive on pokrovsk. is of great importance, and if pokrovsk is captured, it will be a serious blow to ukraine's operations in the region. however , it is unlikely that russia will be able to take advantage of any breakthroughs in the east due to a lack of the necessary equipment and personnel. even if putin exudes confidence, it seems unlikely that russia can end the war on its own terms. yes, it is extremely important, but the key story is how to make putin stop the demand. peace from us at our expense, you see, this is the most dangerous situation, putin is regularly shelling us, putin is raising the level of aggression, they are trying to keep it at the current level only in order to tear us out of this bloody agreement on something, it will not be there if, of course, from the side of the united states, great britain, france and so on,

very clear parameters will be set, non-negotiable, and we understand that at one time, when putin met with president joseph... he offered him to divide the world, it was several years ago, accordingly, we in ukraine understand that there is an ongoing attempt to transform the world, the struggle for major geopolitical influences continues, yes, but the key task is to ensure that this does not come at the expense of of ukraine, so that it is not at the expense of our state and our territories, yes, well, how do you think the leading players will play now, yes, because if putin even agrees. to certain negotiations, so that it would not be at the expense of ukraine. maybe he's interested in something in africa, maybe something in the pacific basin or in the indian ocean, but not at the expense of ukraine and... our internationally recognized borders. i don't think that we are talking about some big geopolitical agreement in which western leaders

offer president putin concessions anywhere in the world. washington works to solve every problem, such as this war, as a separate issue. the us is taking a problem-solving approach, not a broad geopolitical strategy, as the russians might imagine. for washington it is absolutely... necessary that the war end on terms acceptable for ukraine. otherwise, president putin will continue his aggression. moldova may be next, followed by georgia, and possibly both countries at the same time. if putin is not stopped in these countries, he can threaten the eastern members of nato, such as latvia or estonia, he must be stopped now , period. if this is not done, he will simply delay his aggression in the regions i mentioned by military means. whatever geopolitical ambitions exist in the global south, whether president lula in brazil or xijin ping in china, they did not change the focus

of the us and its allies. the main priority is to stop putin and russia in ukraine and eventually reach a peace agreement acceptable to ukrainians. recent opinion polls show that while about 50% of ukrainians may support a ceasefire, over 75% reject any ceasefire that would involve handing over ukrainian territory to russia. therefore, western leaders, especially in the administration of biden and garis, will most likely support the will of the ukrainian people. president trump if he will be re-elected, has said he intends to end the war before he takes office. however, he may propose a deal that would require ukraine to give up territory in exchange for peace. after all, ukraine itself. must decide its course, this makes it more urgent than ever to allow the ukrainian government to use longer -range weapons deep into russian territory,

as this will make it more difficult for russia to launch attacks on ukrainian infrastructure and civilians. finally , in august, there were speculations about talks between russia and ukraine, about ending attacks on each other's energy infrastructure, probably with... and brokered by qatar, i think those talks are still ongoing, although putin may not want it to look like he's giving in to the ukrainian pressure after ukraine's invasion of kurdsk. the fact that these talks are ongoing suggests that putin is looking for ways to de-escalate, given the high price russia is paying. even if putin pretends that he is ready to make any sacrifices. dear mr. ambassador bryza, but ukraine also has an opportunity. raise the level of escalation. extremely important strikes on the military warehouses of the russian federation in the tver region demonstrated that we can use drones to inflict low-level

strikes on our enemy. and we understand that the level of escalation can be raised not only by the kremlin, but also by ukraine. and the kremlin least of all did not expect this, and we understand that if the drone army will practice, the ukrainian drone army will practice military objectives on the territory of the russian federation. russians, ordinary russians will also feel the burden of the war, but putin is betting on something else, putin is betting on the destruction of our energy during the winter, on enormous suffering, possibly mass deaths and the death of our people, on the exodus, on the exit of a large part of the citizens of ukraine from our territory, and after that in the spring, he could propose one or another thing, this is putin's plan, i am worried that... all western capitals understand this matter and accordingly, but the pace of providing us with military aid is not fast enough, are not satisfactory, and accordingly, the biden administration understands that

putin wants to destroy our energy, so that the winter will be tragic, the kremlin is doing it, delhi understands it, berlin and london also understand it and paris, but at the moment we see this is putin's plan, from the ukrainian side it remains only that i will support. and maybe even exceed the level of escalation in some way, that's how it is. we have already touched on these issues and i completely agree with the premise of your question. fear of escalation has indeed prevented the biden administration from delivering permission to use weapons in the depths of russian territory. the absence of such permission only allows and encourages putin to continue destroying ukraine's energy infrastructure. it is obvious that london wants to convince. to allow ukraine to defend itself more effectively, while attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure continue, it appears that discussions are underway that could lead to an agreement whereby ukraine and

russia will...stop attacking each other's energy infrastructure. this could be a constructive step towards changing the momentum and the direction of the conflict. in addition, ukraine's success in advancing into russian-held territory to protect its northern regions, especially around sumy, has changed the psychology of the conflict, from a perceived stalemate to one where ukraine is perceived as a capable and innovative state. a recent drone strike in the west. region, which was directed against russian warehouses of ammunition, missiles, and cluster bombs, demonstrates ukraine's effectiveness in reducing russia's ability to strike ukraine with these destructive weapons, even under the help of much less powerful drones compared to atakams and storm shadow missiles. i certainly expect that washington and london will eventually grant permission, and as soon as ukraine begins to use this more

effectively. weapons, i am convinced that we will see a change in the momentum of the war in favor of ukraine. here's what might make putin more willing to negotiate in good faith. dear mr. ambassador bryce, look at the president of the united states, joseph biden, he does not have much time left in office. fortunately, he is not in person now going through an election campaign, he does not go to pennsylvania and assure that he has a peace plan. the task of president joseph biden to go down in history, i don't know, at one time winston churchill went down, when winston churchill said: "no, we will destroy hitler." i do not idealize churchill, but joseph biden now has a few months to make a decision at the level of an outstanding, great, political and military figure of the world, that is, he can grant ukraine certain permissions and possibly increase the range of weapons, far away. slaughter house

weapons and aviation, that is, joseph biden can play to the end, will he go for something similar, or will he be a hostage of the democrats' election campaign? president biden is deeply convinced that ukraine should not lose this war. i would like him to state more clearly that ukraine must win this war and define what that means. if pressed on him, i think he would say that ukraine's victory in the war means the cessation of hostilities on the terms determined by ukraine. biden will retain full power until the inauguration of the new president, 20 january 2025. not only does he have the right to make the decisions he thinks are right, but there is no problem with the fact that his political career will soon come to an end. so his main consideration is how any action he takes to help ukraine might affect

domestic politics. usa and the outcome of the 2024 election, although biden is definitely thinking about how his decisions could affect the chances of presidential candidate harris against president trump, because americans, when it comes to electing a president, tend to be more are focused on other issues, so now biden has a relatively free hand to do what he thinks is right, he is understandably concerned about the possibility of russia escalating to the use of nuclear weapons, however... last year, when it emerged that president putin may be planning to use nuclear weapons on the battlefield, biden sent cia director bill burns to moscow to warn that in the event of such a scenario, the us would intervene militarily and destroy russian troops in ukraine. obviously, such a threat deterred putin in my opinion, president biden remains as committed to helping ukraine as before. his hands are much looser now than when

he was... running for president, and while russia's invasion of ukraine probably won't be the deciding factor in the us election, it could affect the outcome by a small margin, as this election is expected to be very tense. and returning, for example, to the beginning of our conversation, when we talk about certain negotiations, there, not i know, behind-the-scenes, semi-public and even public, well, we understand that, in general, similar things, they fit into what is called some kind of non-form. agreements, but we understand that there can be no informal agreements with putin, yes, because he made a mockery of all the international agreements in which russia participated, that is, either by not fulfilling them, or simply leaving them, yes, well, we will not mention the so -called budapest memorandum, but if it is still somewhere in a couple of months, maybe there by in six months, we will see a certain freezing of the situation, weakening.
