one word answer. coming back to our title after the midterms. could us support for ukraine wayne? no i don't think it will wane. the u. s. will keep on supporting ukraine for the time being short term. yes long term we have to see u. s. will keep on supporting ukraine for the time but it's more about the amounts not whether they support or not. thank you clear and short, thank you so much to all of you for being with us today and thanks to you for for joining in dear audience and please let us know if you're watching us on

u. s. on ukraine. italian journalist on historian angelo dolcy says that the western narrative shows double standards when it comes to going on ukraine, on verifying russia. oh, the mayor of jerry would imagine it. i believe today we are witnessing the revival of fascism in 2019. the european parliament adopted a resolution stating that russia was the primary factor that stopped hitler and the spread of naziism in the world. it was russia that defeated nazi italy and this is unanimously confirmed by works on world historiography. today, this has been completely forgotten because of endless russ, a phobia. they want to back russia into a corner and chip away at its historical geographical and cultural significance. and of course, hinder its political ambitions. now, it's almost impossible to deny the existence of neo nazi formations in ukraine. it's becoming more difficult to say that ukraine is the democratic state in which neo nazis are isolated. marginal members of society. propaganda always has one method, one tactic, it's the logic of double standards. in other words, everything in the

ukraine is a concern for american voters as well. and some are questioning how much longer the u. s. should continue financing, ukraine's fight against russia. russia's war against ukraine is one. the u. s. has not been able to look away from americans have already sent more than $60000000000.00 worth of assistance into this was a democratic president, joe biden has promised to continue to do all it takes to defend ukraine sovereignty as americans head to the polls in these mid term election, us congress is expected to turn more republican. and the big question everybody is asking is, what impact that will have on us assistance to ukraine and other allies? well, the answer depends on who you are. there will be enough support no matter who controls which house and given president biden still in the white house. so i, i am quite confident that very, very strong support will continue for ukraine. yet one prominent republican stuff, it's sending a very different signal ahead of the elections. kevin mccarthy is the top republican in the house of representatives. he says he believes americans would no longer be willing to write a blank check to ukraine in the face of a biting recess

u. s. on europe, on ukraine's allies, essentially to stop keith to prevent keith from shelling these approach you nuclear power plant. now this is an accusation that key of itself has vehemently denied. and while point pointing the finger of blame at russia in turn, moscow has been saying that is absolute nonsense. the sub will preposterous idea. this is what they've called it, that russia could be shelling the territory that it is that it is now has control over. and indeed i did visit this approach to nuclear power plant back in august. and we were shown the debris, for instance, of a polish made combat drone, which was shot down over the plant before it had the opportunity, had the chance deal any damage and rush of course doesn't have the russian military does not have polish, may drones in its arsenal, and of course we were also shown the scale of the devastation that was dealt to this approach. you nuclear power plant. well, luckily, nothing critical that we observed that at the time, but indeed some of the destruction was quite significant. nonetheless, for instance, whole workshops we

on this, let's bring in karen quite koski. retired us air force. lieutenant colonel. karen is good to see you. now. after the u. s. spent billions of dollars on funding ukraine and the war we're seeing reports of officials calling for a peaceful solution. so why do you think that the u. s. didn't push for a diplomatic resolution from the onset here? well, i think in the united states, defense establishment is making a lot of money, you know, do via the american taxpayer in depleting all of our reserves of old weapons, sending them to ukraine. that freeze up production lines for more of what we want. and then of course, justifies demand to the congress that our own budget, our own military budget can be increased. so this is something that i think benefits, it's viewed by american government, people, as you know, it benefits it, benefits america, not in the way that we think of a war, but just in the way we think of a business military business. right. and now of course, you know that the u. s. government, they are focusing on those benefits. however, when it comes to the possible negatives there, i mean, do you think that western support for ukraine in the w

in ukraine, the u. s. is one of ukraine's biggest factor is both military, militarily and financially, or will that change of republicans take control of just one of the houses of co? yeah. that, that, that's right terry. and this be a lot of concern about this particular ukraine, but also in europe as a whole of what might change if there is a really significant sort of shift in the balance of power within washington. because you're right, the u. s. has been the biggest single supporter of the ukrainians during this war so far, 40 plus $1000000000.00 of of funding is gone to military funding and other kinds of funding. and to get that money, joe biden has go to congress and get congressional approval for that. now that bunch of money is pretty much spent now is that they can looking ahead to take, can provide more money in the, in the year ahead. they're going to need a congressional support for that. the republican party, however, which looks like it's certainly going to win the has the representatives could ev

u countries. what else can ukraine expect from the u. s. a. in the future? and let me pass that question directly to matthew and master your newspaper. politico reported a few days ago on mounting anxiety in ukraine preceding the mid terms. what's your take, do you see reason to believe in fact, that u. s. support for ukraine could weigh in as a result of the election. well, i think there are 2 things going on here. one is that the republicans who are about to take control of the house of representatives are going to want to have more of a say in what this help looks like. does help this aid is going to be scrutinized. probably a bit more than it has been up to now, a lot of people would say, well, there's nothing wrong with that. this is sort of the normal parliamentary process. i don't think that the congress is going to start blocking this aid, but i think that there will be more questions about what is being sent there and why, and especially why isn't europe doing more? because what united states has done so far is i think double all of the other help that's been put forth combined. and especially when you get to the military help, which as we just heard, has been

and no one's expecting that if they come into office, they'll pull a complete 180 and reverse u. s. foreign policy in europe, ukraine in particular, but unlike their rivals, they seem to have at least picked up on the widespread public opposition to prolonging a foreign war at the expense of the american people. nation building didn't work out too well in iraq and afghanistan. i don't think we should be doing it in ukraine. so targeted military assistance. one thing i favorite that, but yeah, this kind of nation building where it's less about our national security. it's more about nation building, i think is a problem with ukraine and everywhere. right now, our country for our borders had a control human trafficking that know we have inflation, gas prices out of control. i mean that for 3. now, such words from republicans have sent the democrats into a tizzy. joe biden is now talking about nuclear armageddon and saying he's not interested in any talk of the escalation or negotiation. biden is declaring roughly half the electorate to be here, redeemable right wing extremists, and he's also taken actions to cause an e

ukraine support? if mitch mcconnell, the u. s. senate republican caucus leda had his way, the u. s. would supply even more weapons, including longer range ones to ukraine. congresswoman, this cheney points out that committee, we need to be doing more faster in terms of what we're providing to the ukrainians . we're not gonna go back to the days of isolationism. but there have been other statements, especially from trump, loyalists, and the party. kevin mccarthy, republican leader in the house of representatives recently suggested there would no longer be a blank check for ukraine in the case of recession fall, right. representative marjorie taylor green has accused president biden of giving hard earned us tax dollars to a country fighting a war cannot win america 1st. as former president trump slogan he could run again in 2024. in order to make our country successful. safe and glorious. i will probably have to do it again. how strong is from prison in the us? let me ask you to answer that question. matthew was donald trump, the biggest loser on tuesday? and if his star is waning, can trump his them survive? donald trump? well, they asked you

u. s. army official has claimed to the media, the american movie personnel, and now on the ground and ukraine. keep track of the billions of dollars worth of weapons and other equipment but western powers of supplied keys. this claims comes as the u. s. government issued its 1st ever detailed plan on countering weapons smuggling from ukraine. it was may lead to stop black market supplies of javelin and stinger missiles from ending up in criminal hands. but the u. s. has admitted its difficulty to conduct sufficient monitoring because of quote, the nature of combat. for my c i, a analysts, larry, dogs and things, syria motives could be a play, and the u. s. weapons inspections in maybe in the next week or so we'll learn that there have been us casualties on the ground in ukraine. and that can be attributed they will say to they were doing weapons inspections. when you read some of the news reports on this, it just doesn't make sense. they said, for example, all these inspectors, they're not going to go to the front line. well, yeah, the, they'll go inspect high mars ham triple 7. and those are

ukraine with thousands of javelins, but the u. s. inventory is dwindling. the united states has probably given about one 3rd of its stock to ukraine. thus, the united states is approaching the point where it must reduce transfers to maintain sufficient stop pulse for its own war plans. u. s. defense industry is now more focused on trying to make up for the significant amount of equipment with united states is transferred to ukraine and replacing us stocks. we have been providing ukraine with ammunition that's being expended at war time rates, but we haven't increased our production. and what this means is we've been dipping into our war time reserves to supply ukraine to the point where we no longer have enough ammunition to last more than a few weeks of sustain combat. ah, what has changed gears by now? the rainy and foreign minister has denied all accusations regarding alleged preparations for an attack on saudi arabia, calling them biased. the wall street journal issued a report which came from us and saudi arabian intelligence saying that iran might be planning on attack, but with no of the specific

ukraine's nationalist. as all battalion, one of its u. s. members probably claims the far right of the leading force and ukraine. and the 8th year saga of the militia airlines flight 17 crash is set to come to an end to expose a case where blame was assigned before a final verdict was given with thank you for joining us this thursday. lunch time. money is pete, just got to bring you all the latest news here on our t for my headquarters in the russian capsule. welcome to the program. we start off in poland, which has decided not to invoke a provision of nato's charter for an inquiry into the missile incidents. the un security council convened to discuss the situation earlier. my rushes, un ambassador, claim the instance was a deliberate publication by ukraine on poland to bring nato into the conflict. yes, we believe this meeting had not been scheduled. we would have had to convenient anyway to discuss the attempts by ukraine and poland and wants to provoke a direct clash between russia and nato. but it was not just an intentional attempt of

one of its u. s. members proudly claims the far right are the leading force on the ground in ukraine. on the 8th here saga of the age, 17 crash is that come to an end up expose the case where blame was assigned before the final verdict with moscow to the will. this is our to international. my name is peter scott. with this top stories this all welcome to the program. we start off with reports from ukraine, where a series of explosions have been confirmed by officials with their rate simon's sounding across the country. here is apparently among the cities heads and media outlets have reported missiles hitting the eastern city up to napa troves, which caused a partial power outages while over the southern city of death. all thirties claimed that infrastructure has also been, it's ukrainian officials say that russian missile strikes are being carried out on the countries energy facilities on over to poland. now where, which has decided not to invoke a provision of nato's charter for an inquiry in the missile incidents, the un security council convene to discuss the situation and russia's

on the homeland. the u. s. has already spend nearly 55000000 dollars on age ukraine in 2022. and by then is now asking congress for an additional $37000000000.00. that's 20 percent more than russia's entire annual defense budget. we spoke to us veteran karen, quite koski, who said that washington's policy towards ukraine is primarily driven by business interest. the united states defense establishment is making a lot of money you know, through via the american taxpayer. in depleting all of our reserves, old weapons sending them to ukraine, that freeze up production lines for more of what we want. and then of course, justifies demand to the congress that our own budget, our own military budget can be increased. so this is something that i think benefits, it's viewed by american government, people, as you know, it benefits it, benefits america, not in the way that we think of a war. but just in the way we think of a business military business. the next house of representatives that will be sworn in in january. many of them do not see the benefit of conducting this proxy war and

u. s. involvement, you as president joe biden made very clear from the beginning of this conflict that there would be no u. s. boots on the ground in ukraine. at the same time, he's made clear that the u. s. will continue to supply humanitarian supplies, military hardware to ukraine, to back it up in every single way it can. very important development in that in recent days, was at the u. s. is now established a permanent military department based in germany, which is tasked with managing the situation in ukraine. now before what happened, basically the u. s. military was doing it on the fly. it was making decisions from time to time in terms of what weaponry was going when the weapon was going. now it has established a formal military unit based in germany, headed by a 4 star general went through which all the ukrainian needs and desires and decisions flow. so this is an important development because it means that the u. s . is able to act more quickly. the chain of command is shortened as it were. all the decisions are being taken in one place, all the decisions are passed through to one particular place where action is taken . so this h

ukraine with thousands of javelins, but the u. s. inventory is dwindling. the united states has probably given about one 3rd of its stock to ukraine. thus, the united states is approaching the point where it must reduce transfers to maintain sufficient stock pulse for its own wool plans. u. s. defense industry is now more focused on trying to make up for the significant amount of equipment that the united states is transferred to ukraine and replacing us stocks. we have been providing ukraine with ammunition that's being expended at war time rates, but we have an increase our production. and what this means is we've been dipping into our war time reserves to supply ukraine to the point where we no longer have enough ammunition to last more than a few weeks of sustain combat. ah, close head of the mouth, the african continent. we have a couple of stories there for you now kenya has announce, is deploying troops to the democratic republic of congo for a joint operation against a regional sergent group. we are proud to flag off a national contingent whose readiness for mission ease at at its highest, ever.

on board. now, the extent of u. s. support for ukraine in the war against russia could depend on who controls congress. senior republicans have hinted, they may reduce aid that was left many worried. as harry forced reports from keith has been some good news in the last few days as far as the cranium. leadership is concerned when it comes to us military aid after the visit here to keep on friday, the us national security advisor. there was an announcement of another $400000000.00 worth of u. s. military aid to ukraine. some of that going to pay for half of $90.00 check tanks that are going to be modernized and sent to the ukranian military. that's going to bring to $19800000000.00. the total amount and present the landscape has over the weekend. been talking about further reinforcements in the pipeline, the cranes air defenses as well. but there is some concern here in cave about what might happen after the u. s. midterm elections on tuesday. one prominent comp supporter, representative marjorie taylor green, saying that if republicans wi

threatened to shut off the money top to ukraine, also contributor rachel muslim investigates the outcome of this week's u. s. midterm elections could very well impact on europe's options in ukraine. if you look, for example, at the use fledged 18000000000 euros and funding to key for 2023. from the use $27.00 country collective, every pales in comparison to the $17600000000.00 already handed out by the u. s. as a single country. so is it any wonder that there's been a lot of talk on the republican side of the aisle about reeling in what's routinely described as a blank check for ukraine? republican house, minority leader, kevin mccarthy, who could take over? how speaker nancy pelosi job in congress? if republicans went house majority dare to suggest recently that washington should not issue a blank check to ukraine, sparking fears among establishment figures on both sides of the aisle. so ukraine has obviously become a big wedge issue in this election. now, according to the latest wall street journal poll, taken just a few days ago, just 35 percent of republican voters want to send more aid to ukraine. and that's compared to 81 percent of democrats. s

ukraine on its western allies. as joe biden snatched, no security adviser was reported to vast key of officials to tread carefully with their accusations. the u. s. president himself also refused to speak with mister to lindsey on the phone. following the incident here saw, the american leader responded when asked about ukraine's version of events i met with despite western officials, including joe biden saying, there was a lack of evidence. western media outlets went on the warpath plastering accusations that russia was to blame for, quote, attacking a nato country and speaking about the potential for world war 3 ortiz, marina cost forever has been delving deeper beyond the headphones. the media can be very powerful and very dangerous, especially during the time of war. one misleading statement could settle a chain of events which could change the world as we know it. and we were almost on the brink of world war 3 this week. when the western media started reporting with sir to see that a russian missile had landed in poland as senior us intelligence official says, brush and misses, crossed into nate, a member of poland, killing 2 people, a seni

ukraine while the outcome of this week's u. s. midterm elections could very well impact on europe's options in ukraine. if you look at this kind of like to parents raising a kid that kid beings zalinski or q spoiled kid that, that perhaps then what's about to happen potentially is one of those parents could very well lose their income. and the bread winner could very well these, their income, if you look, for example, at the used pledged 18000000000 euros and funding to key for 2023. from the used 27 country collective. a really pales in comparison to the $17600000000.00 already handed out by the u. s. as a single country. so is it any wonder that there's been a live talk on the republican side of the aisle about reeling in what's routinely described as a blank check for ukraine? republican house, minority leader, kevin mccarthy, who could take over? how speaker nancy pelosi is job in congress. if the republicans went house majority dare to suggest recently that washington should not issue a blank check to ukraine, sparking fears among establishment figures on both sides of the aisle that the spending
