see victoria sparks. omewhere in ukrainian blogs yesterday and the day before yesterday that she is a star of the republican party so different well, let's fight this. victoria spartseva is one of the 435 members of the house of representatives. she is serving her first term now. she was elected for the first time to serve as representatives, this is the 20th year. first term in congress that is, she is not a star she was a member of the american parliament like any other member of parliament she can express her point of view they can't can make requests to the administration which what is her goal it's hard for me to say i think that if she really expected that the administration gave some information about the fact that if it was known about, let's say , yermak's connections in russia or something else, she would not make it public because, well, it should not be public information, it should be it should be done in a different way if it is done publicly unequivocally here. there were political reasons.

with the reaction of our ministry of foreign affairs to the questions raised in the letter of victoria sparkse president of the united states. in my opinion, first of all , the decision to involve the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine in this situation was very wrong. that this is not an issue that concerned the competence of our ministry, and it was precisely because of the fallacy of this decision to involve the ministry of foreign affairs in such a conversation that it was the fallacy of this decision that led to an unprofessional reaction, this reaction, which amounted to pity for the worst soviet traditions and accusations at the level of an individual, or let's say, to blame this or that, this or that, this or that political question, uh, playing with russia. i believe that such an unprofessional reaction did not add any benefit, uh, to us as a society, or to the people nor to our dialogue with our american partners, however . we cannot distance ourselves and simply turn a blind eye to what happened. i know that the questions raised are of great interest to ukraine. this cannot be

republican and democratic parties have repeatedly assured this . viewers that the statement of victoria sparks is not a statement from the american government, it is not a statement from the us congress, it is not even a statement from any party, it is a statement from a specific congressman which addresses the concerns that she has regarding the support of a-a whether in the congress or in the administration, then we know that indeed there is strong bipartisan support in ukraine if we are talking about the majority of the actual congressmen or senators if we are talking about the us administration, we talked about it ourselves legislators repeatedly spoke about this from joe biding and anthony blinken and the head of the pentagon in the fall about the fact that the united states will be with ukraine as long as it is necessary. the united states will be with ukraine until the victorious end after the statements that we saw from victoria sparz. her statement was made by the half-chair of the ukrainian support group in the congress. those issues , including those raised by victoria sparks, say t

understand that one of the sources of this situation is the political nature. in the letter of victoria sparksof the united states, in my opinion, first of all , the decision to involve the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine in this situation was very wrong, because it was not an issue that related specifically to the competence of our ministry, and precisely because of the wrongness of this decision to involve the ministry of foreign affairs in such a situation it was the wrongness of this decision that led to an unprofessional reaction, this reaction, which unfortunately resulted in the worst soviet traditions and accusations at the level of the individual, or let's say that to blame this or that, this or that, or the other political issue er for russia's complicity. i believe that such an unprofessional reaction did not add benefit er to us as a society, as a people , or to our dialogue with our american partners, however, we cannot er distance yourself and simply close your eyes to what happened. i know that the questions that were raised are of great interest to ukraine. this cannot b

on our broadcast, political expert valery klochok also suggested that taking into account that victoria sparks is from the chernihiv region and taking into account the fact that in recent days the mayor of chernihiv, mr. atroshenko, has been emphasizing the pressure on him from the president's office, this could also have played a role, how do you see it? and in each such event there are many factors that must be taken into account, and the simple question is which of them were decisive and, accordingly, which of them should we take into account regarding the chernihiv scenario. to be honest, i am quite skeptical about this, well , in fact, there is a connection there well, just to draw the maximum on the general context, in fact, if we are talking about the pre-election struggle, it fits quite well. i would say not even only in the issue of democrats vs. republicans . because she is not eligible for reelection in these congressional elections, which will be held at the moment. that is, she remains, say, in the cohort of veteran republicans and as we know during the midterm elections, there ar

president who are not exactly working for ukraine and i would not take lightly what was voiced victoria sparks because this means that the pentagon in the white house in the state department is constantly being discussed, which means that the level of trust in people who are connected to those persons will fall, and further support will depend on this, and i did not accidentally give an example that the auditors came to the ministry of defense of ukraine and here it can happen that there is no response from the point of view of the actions of the ukrainian political leadership to the remarks of the young congresswoman, as i say what i say to the young congresswoman, it can happen that the troops will suffer and this is the most dangerous thing that can happen in such a situation, therefore, now the ministry of defense must make enormous efforts in order to show a-a results, reliable results of what was done, how they interacted, how it was provided control and so on, because it seems very strange that the draft and today's decision on the creation of a temporary special commission regarding th

as for me , it was not necessary to do this, but victoria sparks is used somehow, including how to calculateas no such thing as politics, as they say, shameful and what they are beginning to twist about who is playing along with whom is about russian meetings. well, you can throw a democrat in the same way, or they are spreading pro-russian standards, well, this is complete delusion, in my opinion, well, how does anyone like it and how does anyone like it? and it begins to appear, and these distortions are simply scary, well, frankly speaking, i am not very happy with this story. what do you think will be the continuation of this story? the competition, a person has not yet been appointed to the position, they cannot gather, they cannot find those who will gather, and so on. well, the good old ukrainian history is such that we see that the united states is already starting to put forward specific e-e timings and graphics, i will be as careful as possible now with public assessments, i just don't want to rush ahead, well , since we are now watched by many people , the fact is that the united

and this is such an official and compressed message on the website of kommersant victoria sparks, eh, who wrote that well, there were eh, some personal messages they should have written to president zelensky that the congress should now take personal control over the supply of weapons to ukraine. well, look, i spoke with many people here, including in the military department, they can’t because he is a member of the congress they cannot comment on it personally, although they understand that such a thing has never happened for the congress. well, at most he could listen to the military at some meeting there and ask what you have there with the supply of weapons so that the congress controls it, so that the congress draws up some schedules and somehow interferes in that's okay, they couldn't say that well , if ukraine already says i personally know oleg nikolenko, he is not the most professional diplomat, and if the ministry of foreign affairs already says well, okay, this message that was supposed to come from ukraine, that everything is fine now, what do we hope for competitive suppo

confronted and needed and how to welcome as a guest in the early days of the conflict representative victoria sparkedainian border member of congress he spoke passionately and convincingly about the need to stop recently she has been a victim of anonymous attacks from fellow publicans calling her name that she has been plagued by anti- western forces get a platform to speak about ukraine and the crime just questions whether billions of dollars we are sending to ukraine are going possible corruption and where some of those weapons from syria or iran? shouldn't all republicans be asking these questions and send us hearing them? as far as i'm concerned if you see establishment getting on someone like dave chapelle. >> the more you say i cannot say something the more urgent it is for me to say it out what is going on congress joins us now congresswoman anyone who makes trouble over this is it correct to say urs passionately for resisting and fighting back against can aggression as you were and what are the arguments you are making in terms of what we should be doing in terms of the accountability? >> it

the reaction of the united states of america will be, because we remember that a few weeks ago victoria sparksoman, wrote and spoke about the problems that exist in the ukrainian government and appealed to the president of the united states of america, joseph biden then this was very actively commented on by ukraine itself, and in particular by the office of the president of ukraine. spoke about the fact that the russians now have a choice before them, either to advance in the east of ukraine or, er, to defend the south, the occupied south, kherson region . soledar, when you are in the east of ukraine, what picture do you see of what the russians are doing and how actively they are preparing for the offensive and for going to the administrative borders of the luhansk and donetsk regions, i can say that the situation is in the principle has not changed much in recent days, i.e. the fighting continues, the shelling continues, the enemy is trying to carry out offensive actions in some directions, but without or without any success or with minimal consequences , that is, to date, the ukrainian def

ukrainian response now the authorities of ukrainian diplomats on this letter and on this claim by victoria sparksl, we will see what will be discussed today at the closed meeting and what information will be provided at the request of compresswoman sparts, in addition, she already has, i assure you, there is information that she received on her own channels, and in addition, let's remember that on friday, us president biden was at the central intelligence agency , he also had a meeting, we do not know what on but it seems to me that it was also about the information that the american intelligence community has about the actions of some people from president zelenskyi ’s entourage. pnikiforova's answer to me is that one of the hundreds of female coders is making some kind of claim. let her press charges. and if she does, then the ukrainian side will talk. moreover, it was already discussed at the meetings of the same president zelensky back in the fall. last year with the head of mig-6 of the british e-e special service. then the head of the cia was in kyiv, who also passed on certain information.

although i think that it is unlikely that weapons will not be provided directly, because victoria sparksissue of providing military aid to ukraine and spoke a lot about the provision of lend-lease and in general any assistance that is needed for ukraine and in america about it by the way, they are talking because igor eisenberg, a professor at new york university, was in front of you. he says that in the usa it is not the main news at all and no one talks about it like in ukraine. of course, it is not the main news, but the news because there is enough of it internal agenda a plus let's not forget that the pre-election debates have already started and this statement is perceived by many as part of these pre-election debates in the same way, and therefore, in the general background, biden's visit to the middle east is still taking place, this is top news and this is just the reality of the media situation, but if we say ah among congressmen or among those who are currently involved in ukrainian issues, then i have already seen a certain discussion that is also on twitter, and we also saw

volunteer activities, but i will start with what is the congresswoman of the united states of america victoria sparkste of indiana , who is she is an ethnic ukrainian, not that she would accuse a ukrainian. she is such an aids person that she issued and says that not everyone in ukraine understands that war is not for everyone , but everyone has to fight, and this is important because no one is in your place, that is, in our place ukrainians will not do this and actually the country must go to the military rails and, so to speak , physically and spiritually and mentally in order to win this war according to your assessment and in your opinion how much is ukraine mobilized today if not then or it is possible to defeat russia if the whole country and all citizens outside the state and in ukraine themselves do not feel the war, do not want to perceive it and in principle live as if this war does not exist, please well, yes, it is true, but you understand that such a mobilization requires a different culture, a different economy on the other hand, now it is a different time, on the contrary, i am happy t

john kerpin said that congresswoman victoria sparks receives the official use of american weapons receivedine, then john kirby said that the congresses, the white house, and even the ukrainian authorities all agree that there should be appropriate control, one kirby also emphasized that when weapons fall into the hands of the armed forces of ukraine, they are their property and washington does not indicate how ukrainians should use these weapons on the battlefield. come on let's listen to the president's comment, he is sure that we are doing everything possible to meet the needs of ukraine, we obviously share the concern expressed by the members of the congress, because it is important to make sure that there is proper responsibility for the materials that ukraine will receive, but we must remember that as soon as the equipment is in the hands of the ukrainian armed forces, it is the property of ukraine in addition, we do not dictate how they should use each piece of equipment on the battlefield, but they have also commanded that they share a concern about accountability and oversight and

fighting for freedom and international order for all of us, she wrote in the letter american victoria sparkswonder what the reaction will be . well, in fact, the americans have already signaled that you wanted to have some of your own people in the future who could make sure that ukraine uses the aid that comes from a number of states without abuse in a high-quality and effective way without abuse. let's say that there is no mistrust, but all the same, we must treat such things with full responsibility. well, we are constantly signaled that the processes of reform in our country should not stop despite the war, as far as i'm concerned. well, let's say that we are certain the decisions are actually possible to be implemented within the course of literally several votes of the verkhovna rada, or within the course of a specific appointment, if we are talking about the already held competition for the head of the special anti-corruption prosecutor's office, but let me remind you that literally a week ago, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, said that in the near future, a competition

monitor the reaction of the united states of america, because we remember that a few weeks ago victoria sparksngresswoman, wrote and spoke about the problems that exist in the ukrainian government and appealed to the president of the united states joseph biden's states of america later this was very actively commented on by ukraine itself, and in particular by the office of the president of ukraine. let's talk about the situation on the eastern front, because just yesterday the british intelligence of the defense of great britain and spoke about the fact that the russians now have a choice before them, either to advance in the east of ukraine or, er, to defend the south, the occupied south, the kherson region. as reported by the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in donetsk region, the russians are trying to prepare for offensive on siversk and soledar, while you are in the east of ukraine, what picture do you see now, what are the russians doing and how actively are they preparing for the offensive and for going to the administrative borders in the luhansk and donetsk regions, i can

well, of course, i mentioned the politicians here in the light of this topic about the letter of victoria sparks it means that it says what about some ukrainian figures who are behind this letter, they are questions and other similar things, it means that it says enough, stop, do something useful to protect ukraine from the enemy of the humanitarian front help, social work, i don't know which politicians she means who don't do it, well, from the opposition, if you can't or don't want to, don't bother to calm down, don't bother with such points. well, as if that's all these political quarrels we already have it in the past, and mrs. sparks doesn't know that we are now very united. yes, we are very united, but i don't know who started the informational tv channel, who started not letting, let's say, the leader of the opposition abroad, who started, er, inciting about zaluzhny to the law, pretending to be the initiative of an industrious person, but you don’t know who is doing it, and then they say so. no, it’s all of you, it’s ms. spas. apparently, one politician here is very influential in ukrain

victoria spark certainly added a little fuel to the fire with her interview.andriy yarmak, the head of the office of the president of ukraine, says that the verkhovna rada should definitely think about such a question , maybe some kind of temporary investigative commission should be created, but today in the telegram channel that all the weapons are under control and we know where they are and nowhere . our colleagues from journalists who have published several materials in recent days on the topic of what they say are weapons that then fall into the hands of terrorists, for example in syria, the americans, or the military, say that in principle we we know what is happening with these weapons, where they are, in what quantity. in your opinion, the source of these doubts and who is throwing this bone of contention between us , please, well, oh, oh, arms control is always everything. therefore, of course, there is concern in political circles e- countries that supply us with weapons and military equipment regarding the possibility of their non-physical use somew

zelenskyi's term of office, what to do or what to do as a person, as proposed by congressman victoria sparksg tatorov was a suspect, in fact, he was a lawyer in a company that built warehouses for ammunition, and in fact, a very large amount of evidence of theft was revealed, that is, such a self-made swineherd already under the second government, which means that tatarov was a lawyer in this company , he received suspicion. we know according to vladimir aleksandrovych zelenskyi is headed by his childhood friend ivan bakanov, and the case was closed right away. that's the situation we have, and again, what i'm talking about now is nonsense - it 's a joke - it's idiocy, and everyone knows about it people who are talking to us now know about it in europe, and that is why i said that the reforms will somehow affect the way this war goes . if we do not do this, we will help you i will not give three, they will give eh in much smaller sizes a-a what is happening now is just nonsense - it is just idiocy a-a and of course some positional politicians a-a in europe and the usa will use this as an arg

opposing the bank in the appointment the head of sap was declared by the american congresswoman victoria sparksat we have a judge pavel vovk, again, a court that can be closed eh очень быстро while we don't have a sap head yet quarantined and various representatives of the authorities who are covered by law enforcement agencies, these conversations will be held , and that is, it is a question of us, how do we react to it, the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office is one of the key bodies for fighting corruption, top officials, anti-corruption prosecutors work together with nabu detectives and prove in the court of the guilt of senior officials without the head of the department, the full-fledged work of the sap is impossible, and here it is equally important to note that it is the meeting of the commission that is announced regarding the head of sap in the office of the prosecutor general, and literally on july 15, information appeared on the website about when, even at what time, this meeting will take place, then in italy, shabunin e cpc e noted that this message disappeared, then i

what do you think about the statement made by victoria spark, who is also ukrainian by origin?ongress of ukrainians, but i'm sure that you will follow this story of such a compressive effect, sparks will not actively participate in the cooperation with the ukrainian public organization of the cluster of states, to our great regret, and this entire congress of ukrainians joined the statement of the ukrainian compress committee of america, which is a penny there was an organization of the world congress where we for him looked at the importance of what

and by the way , the prosecutor himself is needed, not by the european union, nor by victoria spark, the prosecutor himself is needed by each of us , you and i, because it is our money that must be protected by the prosecutor so that it is not stolen from all the taxpayers of ukraine, so i repeat once again that this is a huge mistake, which is assumed to be effective now, that is, without appointing a prosecutor, and it was already international, and it will continue to be, unfortunately, even worse if we urgently let's not start correcting the situation, angels, in all the videos you actually mentioned that the reaction itself is quite inadequate or harmful, but to this, well, the appearance of this open letter, there really is a question: why the open letter, why now, but in the way it is done with denial, immediately transferring it to the individual uh, with accusations through unofficial channels, a lot of dirt was actually poured on spartaz itself there through all kinds of telegram channels, yesterday they were quoted as saying that there were almost russian spies there and s

and we are actively working with them let's discuss because it's really important in general victoria sparksof the republican party of course she can't become the president of the united states she was not born in the united states of america and this is a must for the president of the united states she was born in in ukraine, she is gentle in my opinion, if i am not mistaken , and then, er, chernihiv oblast, her husband. by the way, she met americans on a train, he asked her something in a restaurant car, she knew english, and so in them, too. she came to america, did her business there? he is engaged in farming there. it 's just a word about what they say. and he bought her a position in the congress. well, in the united states, a farmer can't buy a position in the congress of greece, and that's all. nati, well, we'll analyze it a little bit. there are so many interesting things in this story. nataliya humenyuk, head of the press center forces protection and defense of the operational command of the south ms. natalya we congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes of the south, do

critical infrastructure and arms and aid supplies we've seen two more appeals two more letters from victoria sparksdressed to volodymyr zelenskyi, where she called on the ukrainian president to resolve, as she says, a long-standing internal problem in the person of andriy yarmak, and also listed a number of accusations that were often heard in ukraine in particular, she mentions the story of wagner's group about the appointment of oleg tatarov and other things in the second letter addressed personally to joe biden, she calls on the american president to inform congress, provide information about andriy yarmak and confirm or deny the accusations against him, as well as inform members of congress about how the supervision of military aid to kyiv is carried out. let's listen to a fragment from this second letter already to joe biden, given our material participation in this conflict, we are obliged to provide the american people with such a level of thoroughness and accountability to ensure that our aid does not fall into the hands of the wrong people, and ukraine urgently needs an increase in the lev

it concerns the visit of republican congresswoman victoria sparks to ukraine, then the reactions of the republicans. on what she said and she said here she accused the ukrainian authorities in general, even the entourage of the ukrainian president , of almost a-a cooperation with the russians, and here we all found out yesterday, it was a shock for all of us apparently, yesterday evening, president volodymyr zelenskyi announced that the head of the sbu bakanova and prosecutor general venedikt were suspended from their duties. we will not talk with you about any procedural matters. to do it, or was it necessary to do it? the main thing i am interested in is whether it could somehow be connected with ms. sparza's visit to ukraine, and whether there is any reaction of the republicans to this, not only the american republicans, in fact, the question is very valid . it is interesting because we know that the americans put a lot of emphasis on our specific reforms , namely on the reform of the judicial system, on the reform of the anti-corruption system and on the reform of the security syste

that's why congresswoman victoria sparks of the united states of america should count out indiana, who is an ethnic ukrainian, not that she would blame ukrainians. the fact that not everyone in ukraine understands that not everyone joins the war, but everyone has to fight , and this is important because no one will do it instead of you, i.e., instead of us ukrainians. and actually the country should go to the military rails and uh, yes so to speak physically and spiritually and mentally in order to win in this war according to your assessment, in your opinion how much is ukraine mobilized today, if not, is it possible to defeat russia if the whole country is all citizens and outside the borders of the state and in ukraine itself well, no feel the war, do not want to perceive it and in principle live as if this war does not exist, please well, that is true, but you understand that such a mobilization requires a different culture and also an economy, er, now it is a different time, on the contrary, i am happy that ukraine does not look like such a country on the brink of catastrophe, so

have in the script first i wanted to ask him it concerns the visit of republican congresswoman victoria sparks to ukraine then the reactions of the republicans to what she said and she said here, she accused the ukrainian authorities in general , even the entourage of the ukrainian president, of almost a-a cooperation with the russians, and yesterday we all found out, it was a shock for all of us . relations of the head of the sbu bakanov and the prosecutor general venedikt, we will not talk with you about any procedural matters, whether it is in accordance with the legislation or, uh, he did it, how should he have done it, or did it need to be done the main thing i am interested in is whether this could somehow be related to ms. sparza's visit to ukraine and whether there is any reaction of the republicans to this , not only the american republicans. in fact, the question is very valid, very interesting, because we know that the americans have done specific reforms of ours. very big emphasis, namely on the reform of the judicial system, on the reform of the anti-corruption system and on the r

griff: i want to ask you, ukrainian born member of congress, victoria sparks, criticism, she wants anf u.s. aid given to ukraine, your reaction? >> we are always very supportive of all the measures of transparency and accountability. and we share the information with other partners, and i think from the top, our presidents talk to each other all the time and the minister of defense talking to them, but on the working level, we also cooperate on a daily basis, so if there's a need for more information or for closer oversight, of course, we're prepared for it and happy to discuss it with our partners, but we have to understand during this 144 days, ukraine has been very responsible and very efficient in the way how we get the weapons into the country, and in the way how we use them. and we use them according to the international laws, and international principles and were never accused of mismanagement there. and also to add, we only have two types of borders around ukraine, a friendly border with all of our allies on the west through which the weapons are coming in and closely monitori
