of the operations of the main intelligence agency , we are talking about attacks on the arsenals of the armed forces of the russian federation in the rear areas of the russian federation itself, accordingly, the conduct of acts of direct action is the destruction of war criminals on the territory of the russian federation, well, plus the successful nature of the operation, we have already conquered the lightning operation of the units gur regarding the release of vovchanskyi. plant, that is, there are no grounds for budanov's resignation , they say, mr. dmytro, if we are still talking about budanov's resignation, yes, a potential resignation, according to the publication of hb and other sources, he should be replaced, supposedly, by the current head of the foreign intelligence service oleg ivashchenko, but you and i have already started talking about budanov in principle. in your opinion, if such

a resignation does take place, what is the actual purpose of these actions? you say that budanov is effective, well, in principle, i agree with you for the most part, but then why does he have to resign now, what is the reason, if you can just wait a minute? i emphasize once again, budanov casts as if the presence political ambitions, the same accusations of his time. similar accusations were also made against zaluzhnyi, regarding the fact that zaluzhnyi's rating was higher than that of the president of ukraine, zelenskyi, and, moreover, which were replicated by russian special services, including, unfortunately, in the ukrainian segment, and became the basis for possible personnel decisions of the president's office, and note that western partners were the first to give this information in advance. in order

to make a similar nature of personnel decisions impossible at all, by clearly declaring to the president according to the western media during his visit to the united states, zelenskyi of ukraine was to be believed, regarding the undesirability of such actions, which could seriously harm, according to the cooperation of the ukrainian intelligence community and the intelligence communities of our strategic partners, but the basis of this information was a personal conflict. danova and the head of the president's office, that is, we can talk about the political motivation of possible personnel decisions. thank you, mr. dmytro, for joining the broadcast of the espresso tv channel, the novy program week. dmytro snigiryu, military expert, co-chairman of the public initiative "right " was in direct contact. we continue with the next topic, but before we start, i will remind you about ours. survey, it

reads as follows: are you ready or satisfied with the results of zelenskyi's visit to the united states of america. by the way, we will talk about this right now. if yes, 0800 211 381, if not - 0,800, 211, 382 absolutely free from your smartphones and phones. well, and then we will beat up the intermediate ones summaries let's continue precisely on our topic. survey andriy dobryanskyi, spokesperson of the ukrainian congressional committee of the united states of america on direct communication. mr. andriy, glad to see you, good evening, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes! mr. andriy, let's start with the visit of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, to the united states of america . he said that specific

decisions regarding the implementation of the victory plan will be made by the allies at the end, more precisely at the october summit in germany, in in the ramstein format, in fact, let's listen to what the president of ukraine said: everything key for ukraine is on the table with the partners, everything is being considered, long-range, the defense package, sanctions against russia, steps regarding russian assets, we... we had time to work on all topics, we are preparing see you in germany as part of ramstein, this is a format where together with our partners we will follow the content of the points of the victory plan. mr. andrii, in your opinion, how effective was the visit of the president of ukraine to the united states of america, even taking into account all the rumors, that took place, including donald trump and mike johnson. yes, well, in the same

context, if we are talking about the victory plan, then, unfortunately, a lot appeared in foreign mass media, in particular ... american critical materials, where it is said that there was no alleged victory plan so warmly received, was not received there in the white house, but less so we see the president's words that the final decisions will be made later, how far do you perceive the effectiveness of this visit from the overseas point of view and effectiveness of the presentation of the victory plan, please. mr. andriy, well, here, and we will remember that this is not a normal visit to america, but during a week of high-ranking meetings at the un general assembly, however, i am engaged in business on behalf of

the world congress of ukrainians at the un since the 10th year, the chairman committee from the 18th year, i saw many presidents here at eh. un and i have to say that when we include this visit that has just passed in i think we have to see that more and more ukraine rises year by year every time that it participates, well, obviously the war still eats, but maybe some teams would not have organized so many meetings, participated so actively in oon with various others. leaders, even such leaders, some of whom would leave south africa, ukraine is always cooperating here, and the president himself is the meeting and discussion of small, small countries that are just as influential at the united nations, or big ones as well, at

very different levels, there were meetings in new -york, even further, what happened with... the shifts, the very first day when the president arrived zelensky, there was a meeting of senators and congressmen in pennsylvania, where the agreement with the zaporozhye region was signed, in new york, when there was a meeting with a bipartisan delegation of senators at the un, when, when in washington, there was a meeting not only of the most influential senators , but also extremely. a large round table, a table of congressmen in the house of representatives as well, i remember how little was involved in earlier meetings, whether it was president zelensky, or earlier poroshenko, or earlier others, what, what we would never see or hear that so much

congressmen would like to have a meeting, however, i think that activity, that there is still interest, even that we know and war. is still staying, but these conversations, those long-term meetings now, i think it will all be good for ukraine for the future, but what he got from it, i think, we will see at ramenstein, we know that president biden announced something there, he himself wants to participate in rheinstein in october. the secretary of state of the united states of america, anthony blinken, said that the biden administration is currently studying the points of victory and is actually considering whether they can to consider additional actions, according to which ukraine should be supported in the near future, let's listen to what the secretary of state of the united states of america said. in a conversation with president

biden, president of ukraine zelenskyi presented his plan for victory. they discussed in great detail what he believed was necessary to implement this plan. we are looking into this very carefully, including what should we, or other partners in ukraine, do, if any, to help them achieve this success? mr. andrii, here we are talking about what really happened interest, yes, and i want to clarify here once again, regarding the victory plan, regarding the vision for the united states of america, actually what volodymyr zelenskyi presented, whether indeed... all the points are shared, actually by our american partners, whether there are any a caveat to the fact that our international partners are currently unable to fulfill certain points due to clearly objective circumstances.

the biggest caveats are aimed at america, these are internal affairs, internal quarrels, misunderstandings between republicans and democrats, and so on. now we have passed the end of fin. fiscal year, fiscal year, and now we only now understand what the budget is left, because they just extended the budget to december, so that there is nothing. in october, but also some of the programs that were included last year, you remember how long it took to include, the aid budget for ukraine, last year, we haven't yet, we, we had to wait ourselves, or those that activists, or even congressmen, understand after the fiscal year, what is left, what programs were included for two years, for three years, which were urgently ... end on september 30, and what the administration and congress could include in

this extension, that's going to be the most important thing for us in october, and what other help can we include, other than that president biden just didn't announce, we understand, our understanding right now is, what else money exists before the additional bill they plan to have in december. after the elections, but the change, the most important thing for ukrainians, is the change in the policy regarding far weapons, and i still think, and so i am already with the question from june, i do not think, there will be an important change, even after the elections here in america, not only that it's a political thing, but just understanding, when we can add another package, i don't think america would want to... well, my understanding from talking to friends in washington is that america doesn't

want to right now now to change their policy specifically with regard to those long-range weapons, until the election is over and we are already approaching the silent day of a full-scale invasion, and they think then with a conversation with international partners, whether it is at the g20 or at another, because it is the same in november , only then will there be a change. politicians in america, this is my opinion, that is, in your opinion, such a decision will not be made at ramstein, right? it would, it would be against change for the whole world, but in fact no one, no one in washington thinks that at any meeting or press conference we will hear that there will be a change. everyone thinks it's like we saw those attacks when they hit russian territory at the border, right? we ourselves will hear a change only when we see on the news that ukraine finally has a permit, and not,

but there will be no such announcement beforehand. and yet yes, if we are again talking about long-range missiles, about permission, permission to strike on the territory of the occupying state, can we expect this permission from the administration of joe biden, or do we still need to wait for january 20 to come. and the new president, the newly elected president has already gained his powers, this period, can joe biden use it conditionally there, november 6-7 and until january 20, so that after all such radical steps, i would say, revolutionary steps to use for aid to ukraine, actually in this last period of his presidential term. this is a very crazy period, such a golden period for us,

when the elections will come after november 5, before the inauguration, after half of january already, when the president still has the right to decide anything, but no one can vote against him, no one can remove anything from him during that period, we can do a lot then, i think. then i thought earlier, i think, not earlier than november, but already after the elections , the president himself, he does not run for anyone, no one must vote for him or give him permission, he will be the president and this is the best period for him to change his mind, we also know that the advisors, whether it is former president trump or vice president gerist, will be completely different. eh, than from president biden, then there may be a change in january, but i would think that how biden has an opportunity

to change his mind, it was in the period that you just mentioned, between the election and the inauguration. we, mr. andrii, are watching how, in fact, this visit was overshadowed by elections and overshadowed and you have already de facto confirmed it, these controversies, yes, this is the struggle, even to some extent... such a fierce struggle between the two candidates, in particular, the american analyst peter dickenson, he explains that trump's rhetoric changed, i will remind you... that at first trump allegedly refused to meet with zelenskyi, and mike johnson, the speaker of the house of representatives, he sent such a rather undiplomatic letter to the president of ukraine demanding the release or recall of ms. markarova, the ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america, and

and we remember this speech by mr. trump, where he so not quite correctly... spoke about ukraine, well, let's not mention it now, because there is really no time, but here is this sharp rhetoric, the change in rhetoric that took place in the last there are two days of zelensky's stay, why did trump still decide to meet, mr. dickinson actually explains it by the fact that ukraine plays a big role during the elections, or rather on the day of the elections. and the polish diaspora, and it is clear that the same trump does not want, even after his eccentric ones statement, does not want to reject these votes, and i will remind you, there are hundreds of thousands, and maybe millions of votes, in your opinion, it is true or not, whether you can really confirm such a hypothesis,

and how much, how much do you think... did you like or not like this meeting with zelensky trump, how trump behaved there, support or not support for ukraine, after all? well, what started the week with, as you said, such an undiplomatic letter, it's completely against against all protocol, and it came out again from the dark corners of the online, or turner carlson, who spoke about it immediately. when president zelensky came to america, such a carlson immediately began to complain against him on his online speeches that he came to america, as well as some other such strange online stars from wild corners, but that it rose to the former president, since he two weeks ago raised

conspiracy theories about haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs, from time to time, this is the logic of a former president who wants to change the mind, change the rhetoric online or able to bring attention back to him, and he did all this, most of the attention was on the former president, not on the live meeting that was, we saw a live broadcast of zelensky's meeting at the white house or the meeting with the vice president, all the conversation in the press was about... former president trump, and when he received this attention, we also saw that there was an approach to president trump's team through normal resources, that the request was that president zelensky would still like to have a meeting, and so normality a little returned, but as for those who vote, you

asked americans, ukrainian, polish, any eastern or central. of european descent, i think in general their campaign for president trump has completely abandoned those votes, but there are still quite a few here who are going to vote for president trump from that background, i still get, i would say 55 half -and-half who send me emails to our office or to me privately, our community is divided, as any community and... they are ready to vote for their own opinions, for one candidate or another, but the campaign itself, i do not see that neither president trump nor this senator jay vance, who is a senator in the state of ohio, where there is a fairly large number of ukrainians, but to this day has not visited a single ukrainian center, neither before he became a senator nor after,

and wants nothing to do with such ethnic americans. we will monitor the situation, we will usually monitor the elections in the usa, because it is very important for us to support our country. i am very grateful to you, mr. andrii, for what you are found time to join our broadcast, before the new week, andrii dobryanskyi, the spokesperson of the ukrainian congressional committee of the united states of america, was just on the live broadcast of the espresso tv channel. i remind you of ours. survey, today it sounds as follows: are you satisfied with the results of zelenskyi's visit to the united states of america. if so, you can take s... your smartphones or phones to vote absolutely free 0800 211 381, if not - 0800-211382 and in 19 minutes we will tally up

the interim results, and for now we continue our live broadcast, and we already have the next ride, yes, igor reiterovich, mr. igor. good evening, political scientist, head of political and legal programs of the ukrainian center for social development, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, congratulations, mr. igor, let's start, of course, with those statements that sound from the occupying state, lavrov has a lot to say, of course said, there is yet another nuclear blackmail from putin, lavov, from all these russians. actually , during his speech at the un general assembly, the minister of foreign affairs, serhiy lavrov, again threatened nuclear escalation, let's hear what he

said. as for russia, the goal of its strategic defeat has been announced, almost as planned by london and washington in may 1945, developing... even before the end of the second world war, an operation called "unthinkable" to destroy the soviet union. then it was kept a strict secret, and the current anglo-saxon strategists do not hide it. i will not talk here about the absurdity and danger of the very idea of ​​trying to fight to victory with a nuclear power, which is russia. at the same time, a few days ago. the president, the so-called president of russia, vladimir putin announced that they are actually changing the nuclear doctrine, i think that the audience should no longer

be told what it was about, well, another nuclear, so-called scarecrows, but today putin's press secretary , dmytro piskov stated that it is not necessary to connect ukrainian drone attacks with the actual possibility of nuclear retaliatory strikes. in particular, against the background of the recent change in this nuclear doctrine, which we just mentioned. here, mr. igor, this is such a galaxy statement, on the one hand intimidation, on the other hand, we see a change in the nuclear doctrine, putin's scaremongering again. and then piskov declares that no, well, we will not use nuclear weapons. it is clear that ukrainian drones fly over russian facilities every night. are striking russian military facilities, in your opinion, this is all this catavasia with nuclear threats, what does it show and

does anyone in ukraine or in the west really react to this and are afraid of such statements or actions? well , today's statement by piskov is essentially the quintessence of this so-called nuclear the doctrines of the russian federation are nothing more than words. which they can change depending on the situation, there are some mythical red lines that they draw, but which they are not going to fulfill in any way, because they simply cannot do it, i mean precisely in the context of the russian- of the ukrainian war, because it is clear that the doctrine foresees a confrontation with a nuclear country and a response to any nuclear strikes there or the delivery of, including a preventive nuclear strike, because this is also laid down in those strategies that are on today's... in russia, and what to do, for example, with ukraine, they still don't know , and that's why there is such a polarity of statements: lavrov says one thing, then, that means, there putin says

another, and piskov finally, well, obviously referring to the same putin, he says absolutely the third, because he perfectly understands that no one will actually respond to drone attacks or missile attacks with any nuclear weapons, because this is an impossible story, against which they even oppose. countries that have some kind of partnership, well, economic, first of all, relations with by the russian federation, but they will continue to push this topic, why, because they believe that it is, after all, such an effective mechanism of influence on individual western elites on individual western countries, they will be able to achieve their goal in this way. in this case, their goal is very simple and banal: not to give ukraine the opportunity to obtain permission to strike there with western long-range weapons. on the territory of the russian federation, for the sake of this they constantly disperse these theses, but then they have to give back little by little from one for a banal reason, because when you say that

the attack there is a large number of droid. this is a challenge to the existence of russia, we will strike back, even when the drones are just taking off, 120-130 drones actually fly there in the morning, and a certain part of them actually hits russian military facilities, then you well, in the eyes of your electorate, your so-called people, you look like an idiot, well, because you are shouting here, stomping your feet, you can't really do anything, that's why piskov and that explains that no, well, there are specifics... and it does not apply to these things, or the president makes a decision in each case individually. by the way, the russian right-wing authorities are absolute experts, that is, those who are not in the opposition, who are on the territory of russia, they are allowed to appear on various tv channels and so on, they themselves say that this is such a strategy, a piece of paper, the decision about its application is made by the president himself , he may accept, or he may not accept, and now they simply implement it in practice, because there are words, there are

real actions, they are real actions... not that they are not they are ready to do it, they are afraid to just do it, so they are forced by peskov's mouth to roll back a little further, and believe me, it will be exactly the same situation when we receive the permission, the permission will not necessarily be public, they will fly further along the airfields and on many some other strategic object there, and they will say that no, no, no, this does not correspond in any way to the strategy, and we will not use it in practice in any way, but you mentioned, by the way , this permission, we... were talking about the previous one interlocutor from the united states of america, that perhaps this permission will be granted already after the presidential elections in the usa, that is, during the period there, relatively speaking, from november to january. but still, going back to these nuclear threats, don't you think that these scaremongers are really, they are directly related to this possible permission in order to delay time, or at least

to preempt their time. opinion, the possibility of giving ukraine permission to use long-range missiles on the territory of so-called russia. well, again, the question is whether reacts, for example, the white house or our other international partners to such nuclear, nuclear statements, and thus there postpones the granting of this permission, or after all, these things are absolutely not connected... and no one in a civilized the world does not actually react to putin's conditional nuclear blackmail. no, these things are connected, and look, putin's statement was made during the visit of our delegation to the united states of america, and in this way they tried to somehow distract attention as much as possible, intercept the information initiative, well, how putin believes to put pressure on the west, that is, on the western elites, so that they submit to this

blackmail and, accordingly, do not give permission. ukraine to use weapons, moreover, their propagandists, they picked up on this thesis that, look, the ukrainian delegation returned without permission, so our statements worked, they are afraid of us, this is not quite, to put it mildly, because there are other reasons why the decision is being postponed for the time being, and, by the way, the same biden directly said about this that it is necessary to hold negotiations with partners in europe, we must it can be discussed in the ramstein format and so on, but well, there is a certain element in... it is definitely present here, you see, our western partners, they cannot, after all, cannot, ignore even the minimal probability that putin says, and he can actually implement it in practice, so they should review for some period of time not too long, but including those plans and strategies that they have for such a case, if, for example, there is, well, relatively speaking, a risk nuclear war was laid at the level half a percent, after putin's statements, it may

increase there to 0.7, they should be recalculated, because this is how the western decision-making system works, and they basically deal with it, does it make some real impression on them and force them to abandon their actions there, i think not not at all, because indeed, after the start of a large-scale war, the russians made official statements about, well, threats of nuclear strikes more than 30 times, and it is clear that many in the west do not react to this. but they cannot at the same time refuse these minimal ones percent there is a probability that this could still happen, so everything that putin gains here by making such statements, well, he slightly postpones the adoption of those decisions that are important for ukraine itself, or forces, for example, partner countries, well in this case, we are interested in three countries, these are the united states, france and britain, which means that something forces them, for example, to re...
