the decision there is in principle to appeal to russia, and they essentially only need to confirm it and that's all, that is, in the grand scheme of things, the development of events can be any, so i would not reduce exactly such threats, it feels like there is some backstage constant struggle, something over there in russia is reducing their appetite for decisions, because it is from the point of view now... here they are, what is their goal, to break through the corridor from the south of ukraine, well , it was through odesa and in transnistria, transnistria is cut off from the border with russia, that is, both by sea and by land, so here it is somehow it is difficult to carry out serious matters, but from the point of view of such a game of destabilization, raising the stakes, it can in principle be played if there... russian political technologists will come up with

the idea that it is necessary to show the muscularity of their leader, anything can happen, although such statements that we have everything under control there, i would say that these are very bold statements so far, well, but this ongoing conflict, well , not a conflict, but simply put, the occupation of the 14th army of the russian federation, which is still from ... in 1992, they could not withdraw this army from there, then this whole story with the transnistrian republic of moldova arose, and it is such an appendix between moldova and ukraine , but this is the territory of moldova, and it is a threat to moldova, and a threat to romania as well, that is, if the 14th army that is there, if i am not mistaken, there is a contingent of about 50,000 people in transnistria, if... that suddenly

they will start hostilities, then this will somehow lead to the fact that romania will also enter the war or will not enter, well if separately, not as a northern member of the north atlantic alliance, as a territory that, let's say, helps a lot to moldova, mr. serhiy, this is a separate topic, probably because, well... i'll say it like this, there are not 50 00, there is less, and there is a pobasta, there there are large warehouses that, well, have been embezzled or corruptly stretched there or exported to russia, but nevertheless, it is not about weapons, not about the number of equipment or special personnel , it is about the fact that even they will not really be able to who are there to oppose militarily, but it should not be discounted, it is still under our border with vinnytsia region. there, i will tell you that this,

with any involvement there, destabilization is a very bad story, although it can really lead to the fact that the war will no longer turn into a war of one in the defense of one country, ukraine , moldova may be involved, further, let's see further, that is, what will happen next, so raise the stakes in this way. to show escalation and threaten even more, putin can and the kremlin can do it, what does this mean for us militarily, i don't want details now, let the military experts talk about it, but nothing good, but there is nothing good in the development of such a situation, which has already been tested by them, indeed at such and such congresses, especially in the international legal status of this occupied territory, in fact. so the top

of the military there, even what they have and those people there , they know why they started all this, i will just tell you to explain why they are gathering the congress, they want to get improvements in their economic issues, because moldova had it worse, it is paradoxical, but in economic terms, moldova and chisinau have it worse conditions than transnistria, they have now equated and they are outraged, how come, we will earn less of our corruption money, i.e. both direct and corrupt, that is what the problem is, i.e. they want to scare that putin will come if you now you won't deduct our corruption, corruption profits, that is, they do, but how it will end from the kremlin's side, i don't know, the kremlin can take advantage of this, we understand that it is all controlled from russia, they do not have independent decisions, that is, so i would now, well, let's say... what is it

so in practical terms, our main intelligence department reassured us, but i hope it reassured us in terms of information, on the ground, as they say, appropriate preparations are being made and will be. we have to be careful, actually we are in a state of war and we have to constantly keep that flank under control anyway, but i will clarify, more than 600, i was wrong, not 50 thousand, because it is 7500, so somewhere 6-7, well, as of 95 -th year, i looked at the numbers, there are 6.5, the very end of our conversation, i am interested in your opinion, whether the ukrainian state and... diplomats should now speak up to 17 and especially after march 17, about the illegitimacy of putin during the election in the territories temporarily occupied by russia and which they consider their own, and this territory is part of the ukrainian state,

necessarily, necessarily, moreover, now we need to talk about three topics, it seems to me, the first - is absolutely to continue the topic and at a new stage, it is dew. the self-proclaimed capture of the un and the un security council, firstly, secondly, it is absolutely clear, they will not give up these attempts to demonstrate something there in the occupied territories, not only that the elections themselves in russia, we know how they conduct it, and no one recognizes these standards, but even in the occupied territories, there must be a clear non -recognition of legitimacy, at least yes, if not by the whole world, then by part of the democratic world , this should definitely be done, if they are on it's not for... they won't go, they won't be able to agree, well then, excuse me, what we're talking about, then putin will receive another signal, and a third one, i think that after that we need to be much, well , just more dynamic, more active in understanding , that

in russia there are already some such changes, opposition, what you said will not be the next time, russia already, putin and russia have shown that they have taken a one-way ticket, and you just have to... this is their one-way train, not in the wrong direction that they think, faster, and if putin is not recognized, putin's legitimacy as the next president of the russian federation, what consequences will this have for him and for russia? it depends on which circle of countries will do it, how it will sound, he is already a criminal according to the definition of the international court, he is wanted, that is, where he... in the countries where the roman statute is recognized and ratified, he does not go there, that is , but it must be very important from the point of view of aggression, war, that is, we should not recognize in any case, there is still such a moment here, you see, we can't hold elections, yes, because we are in a state of war,

that is, we have questions, and we understand, here suddenly, out of nowhere, the aggressor is holding elections in the occupied territories, well, it 's uh ... it's clear that this is a demo, nothing will be there, but they, they just record theirs the matrix of this parallel education, and then we will demonstrate to everyone, we cannot let them create a parallel reality, because now this year will be very important from the point of view of fighting in another space, in the space of narratives, messages, these fakes, that is, we have our model and the true model should now be clearly formed again as a whole and... putin's illegitimacy should play one of the key roles in this model. thank you, mr. valery, for the conversation, it was a diplomat, the former ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america, valery chalileus friends, we work live on the tv channel, as well as on our

youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are watching us live there right now, please don't forget to like so that this conversation can trend on youtube and facebook. well, vote in our poll, today we ask you about the following: should zelensky run again for the presidency of ukraine? yes, no, everything is quite simple on the youtube channel, now we see the interim results of the poll on tv, 8% yes, 92% no. on our youtube channel the ratio is 94%, no, and yes 6%. the same poll will be heard in the second part as well. of our program, which will start in 15 minutes, we will have a journalism club, which will include marina, danyliuk and armalayeva, maria gurska and yanina sokolova. wait for this broadcast, it will be interesting.

greetings, dear tv viewers, on the air of the tv channel, the program studio zahid, we will analyze the most important events of this week, in particular, we will talk about geopolitics, war and the game. special services, our guests today daniel frith and general alnur musaev. our first guest is daniel frith, ex-coordinator of the united states state department's sanctions policy, an american diplomat with over 40 years of experience. glory to ukraine, mr. ambassador, i congratulate you. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. well, we in ukraine are extremely painfully watching how the domestic-american political situation is developing. yes, we have, of course, our own selfish interests. but this is the selfishness of people who want to survive when a positive

solution may appear, or congress and the head of the american congress will continue to play its political game. almost all democrats, and many, if not most, republicans support continued us military aid to ukraine, however small but decisive. a number of republicans, including former president trump himself, still oppose this aid, which has led to a huge fight in the us congress. it is dangerous to follow the policies of the republicans who oppose aid to ukraine. they are wrong. i believe this fight will end when it is sent help, but can't say exactly when it will happen. i have no excuses for the ukrainians, except that our policy

repeats the mistakes made many years ago, during the advent of hitler, when we were in no hurry to exterminate. i am very sorry for that. this political struggle in the united states is serious. and it still continues. mr. ambassador, maybe there are some additional tools? whether the president of the united states or the american administration has leverage, we understand that it is necessary to urgently look for additional mechanisms, well, this is a matter of life and death. there may be additional tools the administration can use to provide some military assistance to ukraine, but they won't be enough, and they won't be fast enough. for example, i would like... the j7 countries to use russian sovereign assets that have been frozen in the j7 countries,

mostly in europe. and they sent them to help ukraine. however, this process takes time. the fight in congress is still going on, and i am very sorry to inform you that our policies are blocking needed help for of ukraine. it's a shame that americans can't do that. which is correct, but my job is not only to express condemnation, but also to explain to ukrainians what situation we are in. i believe that biden will finally succeed and congress will vote for these funds. however, i cannot say this with confidence. mr. ambassadors , extremely important decisions were made for a long and extremely long time, in particular. when we talk about the transfer of f-16 to ukraine, when we talk about

etekens missile systems, yes, well, and if you believe to american journalists, yes, well, a decision of this kind, it depended entirely on president joseph biden. president joseph biden has some internal doubts. rather, he may have received additional information from the head of the central intelligence agency, burns, yes. perhaps we are talking about some additional threats and additional scenarios, but this decision was not made, even when there were appropriate funds. the united states can provide ukraine with additional ammunition for its artillery, additional means for air defense, as well as equipment such as abrams tanks for offensive operations. anti-tank missiles are especially important. greater radius of action, which would allow ukraine to attack targets in crimea, putting russian

forces in a vulnerable position. all these are key factors in the convincing strategy of ukrainian success. however, the implementation of this strategy requires additional military support, in particular anti-tank missiles, so that ukraine can launch an offensive and strike at significant targets. friends of ukraine in the usa, including in the biden administration and congress is aware of this, but the question remains on the part of congress, how then... should we do to our friends, whether, for example, the european union will be willing to take on the burden, the financial burden of the war, whether the united states will be willing to use european funds to to help us with powerful weapons. european countries, especially those in the european union and nato, are going to do more to help

ukraine, they are already taking action, they will produce more ammunition and provide. weapons to the best of their ability, however, they cannot fully compensate for the deficit or gap caused by the slowness of the american congress in making decisions, and even then, help will come from them. polish foreign ministers are already making every effort, and polish president andrzej duda and prime minister donald tusk will visit washington in the first half of march, where they will strongly advocate for ukraine's support. the polish government is very committed to supporting ukraine. your european friends are doing what they can, it depends on the united states whether they will do everything right. i hope we will. at one time, you were the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the united states to poland. so you know polish politics, and you know ukrainian politics. so, as if nothing should prevent

in-depth integration and cooperation, but very different ones appear. which, to which in ukraine we react extremely seriously. many polish farmers are worried about the consequences of the appearance of ukrainian products on polish markets. they are afraid that the presence of cheap ukrainian products will push them out of business. so, there is real concern in poland. you are right that a partial solution to this problem lies precisely with the european commission, which is working on the search. of this decision, including ensuring that ukrainian agricultural products passing through poland are not sold in poland, but end up where they are needed. at the same time, it seems that the russians are taking good advantage of this situation. there is some evidence of russian interference. and i believe that the polish authorities will

react decisively to prevent the future. russian intervention. this is a difficult question. the polish government is doing everything it can, and i think the solution will require poland, ukraine and the european union to work together. we understand that there are strong sanctions against the russian federation, but given the situation, maybe there are some additional tools to make the russians feel less comfortable, yes, because trade with india... when we talk about petroleum products, it goes beyond common sense, that is, the russians succeeded to stabilize its internal economic situation, although rather in just a year and a half it will go through powerful cracks, so when we talk about the so-called accumulative effect, well, maybe there are cases that would painfully hit the russian economy already now,

which in your opinion can would it still be approved? president biden announced: additional us sanctions against russia on friday. signals from the administration indicate that they will be directed at the russian military industry. this likely means going after the networks of sanctions violators who provide russia with equipment necessary for its military production. we can also target chinese companies and hope to take down the networks. third countries that facilitate the re-export of western products to russia, thus bypassing sanctions. i would like to see even stronger measures included in the sanctions, such as the decision by the j7 and the us j7 partners to use russian sovereign assets to aid ukraine. although i do not expect this to happen in

the near future, i do believe that we will see. a package of measures aimed at ending russia's evasion of sanctions. well, in any case, we see states that serve the russian economy, and here we are not only talking about iran or north korea, which began to supply russia with ballistic missiles, yes, and they are flying into our territory, there are a number of other countries, who serve, openly serve russian aggression, laundering russian money. or supplying russians with dual purpose goods. ukraine has every reason to be outraged by the supply of military equipment by north korea and iran. equipment of russia. this morning on american television, i heard radek sikorski, the polish foreign minister

, describe the real scenario of ukraine's success in this war. this scenario involves the allocation of funds by the united states to help the ukrainian military. with these funds , ukrainian forces will be able to deter the russians on land. however, if... if we provide them with atakms missiles, they will be able to hit russian logistics and other military facilities in crimea and occupied ukraine, taking a more advantageous position a military position for himself, possibly even before the nato summit this summer. this is a real success scenario. so, if the ukrainians deter the russians on land as successfully as they pushed back the russian black sea fleet with long-range strikes. then it will be possible to see how time will start to work against russia. the russian economy is already in a state of stress. if we

can increase this stress and make it clear to putin that he will not be able to win his war, then the chances for ukraine to have a more favorable end to this war will definitely increase. it a plausible theory of ukrainian success, which depends in many respects. from the usa. ukraine will be able to win this war with the help and support of its friends in the west. extremely important words, mr. ambassador, tucker carlson's visit to putin. we understand that this story is not just about journalistic work, his visit is a kind of nesting doll, which contains several layers at the same time. in particular, the first layer is the message that putin sent through tucker carlson to the civilized community, we understand that putin's interview with olivets was analyzed in the state department, in european countries and so on and so forth, because putin has sent quite clear signals about his

cannibalistic appetites for us, for ukraine. the second point, the well-known ukrainian politician and diplomat roman bezsmertnyi, in a conversation with me, suggested that the so-called documents of bohdan khmelnytskyi and his correspondence with oleksiy. mikhailovych, the tsar of moscow at the time, as putin transmitted, as if for the american audience, in fact, those folders could contain something else, and no one, of course, i did not check what documents or what plans could be found there, of course, this smacks of conspiracy, but this multi-layered russian nesting doll is connected with mr. carlson's visit to putin. what can be said about the visit. carlson to moscow. let's see. first of all , his interview was shameful because he had no idea what putin was saying. he was clearly not on

his plate. he was almost incapable of protesting putin's historical falsifications. it was as shameful as the interviews with stalin organized by the western left well-intentioned actors, but ultimately ignorant. there was a trend where western europeans and americans went to moscow without knowing the reality, imagining that they were giving away some version of a socialist paradise, they projected their fantasy onto moscow and imagined they were seeing a good social system, but it has collapsed, takir carlson is now doing something similar, but from the right, he went to moscow and immersed himself in the nationalist right. or even a fascist utopia. it was a manifestation of western ignorance. takir carlson did not no idea what he is actually

seeing. his visit to a moscow supermarket was laughable in its naivety. this again reminded me of the western leftists who traveled to moscow and claimed that the moscow metro was proof of the superiority of the soviet system. funny now, but oh well. this is a shameful episode. you are a great friend of ukraine, you have not only done a lot for ukraine, but you do everything that depends on you and even a little more. but the current situation: putin is actually sending a signal to the collective effort: let me bite the bloody pieces out of of ukraine, but instead i will not declare, so to speak, the third world war or provoke. further escalation against individual nato states, for example, against estonia or against finland or against lithuania and so on. this does not

make it any easier for us, and accordingly we understand that... putin's trade position made public through carlson generally boils down to the fact that he wants to continue to prey on ukraine. putin is trying to do several things at once: he is threatening the west and trying to convince a certain type of american that ukraine cannot to win therefore, he believes that we in the west should push ukraine to an immediate settlement on terms favorable to it. putin is probably counting on him winning now because of that. that the us congress did not vote to allocate money for ukraine. however, two years after he launched a full-scale invasion of ukraine, it is clear that he has not achieved his main goals, which included quickly conquering all of ukraine and reducing it to the status of a puppet state under the rule of the kremlin. he failed in this. and if the usa will act correctly, he will continue to suffer.

failure, but he will also continue to threaten the baltic states, moldova and even poland, hoping to intimidate us in the west in order to sway ukraine into a settlement. we cannot allow this. we have to find a way to help ukraine because ukraine can still succeed and it will benefit us all. and someone has a plan, well , of course, except for putin. maybe erdogan has some plan, maybe chancellor scholz has some additional plan, so what do we do in a bad situation, given the limitations of our resource base, yes, the resource base, well , this is what allows us to save the lives of our fighters, yes, that is, in general, this is unprecedented history, to fight with the russian federation without aviation, and so on. if we can find the resources to help with education this

year, ukraine's outlook will begin to improve. weapons production in the west will increase, which will give us more weapons to send to ukraine. western energy production will also grow, making russian natural gas and oil less important to the global economy and giving us more opportunity to limit them. there is a well-founded probability that ukrainian defense production itself will also grow. including the production of drones and ammunition, both within ukraine and in friendly neighboring countries such as poland or the czech republic. there are various paths ahead for ukraine to achieve success, but now we are facing a particularly difficult moment, especially in an american election year. if we can overcome this, in particular, if the us congress votes to allocate funds for ukraine, ukraine's prospects will only improve.

thank you very much, mr. ambassador, for this extremely important conversation on the air of the tv channel, i want to remind our tv viewers that daniel frith, the former coordinator of the united states state department for sanctions policy, an american diplomat with more than forty years of experience, was working for them. there are 10% discounts on bronkhalyk. in pharmacies plantain, pam and oskad. usual tasks become unreal, heavy bags, not for my sick back. for back pain, try dolgit cream. dolgit cream relieves pain, reduces swelling and improves joint mobility. with the cream dolgit, whatever you want, i will lift. dolgiit is the only yellow cream for joint and back pain. the average price is uah 82. predicate.
