People want to keep a photo as a memory , except let me also remind you that the us secretary of state, mr. Blinkin, came to visit us, he ate at mcdonalds together with our head of the Foreign Ministry , the minister of Foreign Affairs of japan also came to visit us. Is not politicians, but also, their word has a lot of weight, timiti is a historian and such popularizers , no, steven, whats going on, now you see timothy snyder, who took a picture with a slob, i dont know if he has a slob, they actually take a photo with baby yoda, baby yoda allowed them to stand in the background, thats absolutely the same he obviously does a lot in order to popularize ukraine abroad , to tell about our history, not just to explain it in ukrainian, he wrote that the force is with us and the truth is with us and victory is with us, and actually explains a complicated and difficult history to foreigners ukraine, which even the ukrainians themselves do not understand and do not know, well, actually , about such visits, and not only about these visits, but also about all kinds of international events. They showed it in the news andrii ohohoh ukrzaliznytsia i say i liked the iron, this is our lviv railway thats how you see the word many visits, what do they mean , we will talk about all this with oleksandr makhara, a diplomat, an expert of the Defense Strategy center on foreign and Security Issues politicians, lets include him in our conversation, alexander. We welcome you, mr. Alexander. How to explain, how to explain, it just coincides in time, or they somehow agree , they say the gate. But i have to be the first to arrive. Is it a coincidence or is it planned like that, well, first of all, lets say yes, the vacation season has ended, and now we need to take on the new political season with renewed strength, if we are talking about active politicians, well. Of course bory johnson and we are always happy here, he can just get on the highway and come and take pictures with whoever he wants. Of course, this is very positive, because the last few weeks there have been such fierce battles in the columns of primarily American Democratic newspapers that everything has failed, which means that there are no ukrainians and it is necessary to consider some peaceful plans there, and then there was a wave, those who soberly look at the situation know they started saying yes, no , well, what did you want and they did not give at 16 atakamsy and the like well, of course, people, that is, they are voters come back from vacations and of course they need certain information and motivation, which means that taxes should be directed to support further support of ukraine, despite the fact that there was no miraculous liberation of all territories and the collapse of the Russian Federation, so it is absolutely good that such a week and uh, well, to blame, from the point of view of political support, what blinkin said about and from the financial point of view, and a billion dollars worth of weapons was announced , of course, this is a positive thing and there is a big there is a quantity of what is now absolutely needed at the front and the Exchange System and the same miraculous heimers and other things , well, let me tell you that in the near future the administration will eventually volunteer to give us operationaltactical missiles to attack. Because before they were afraid that, god forbid, they might be used by ukraine on the territory of the real Russian Federation, that is, the words of the occupied on the territory and everyone was afraid of this escalation, about which well, probably the most vividly written, or rather well, these were uttered journalists about about the mask, yes, that is, this scandal with masks, if it is a good , good week, and literally before the broadcast, i looked, there is already an agreed statement, the height group, it is a bit softer than it was in bali. That is, there is no mention of russia as an aggressor in the text of the statement itself, but there is a reference to two resolutions on the armed aggression of the Russian Federation and on the nonexistence of a lasting peace based on the principles of the un charter, which is therefore positive; it mentions that the use of force , the threat of force, and the use of Nuclear Weapons should be avoided and of course they call for respect for territorial integrity , sovereignty, er, to return to the side of weak lanka, to the socalled grain agreement. This is the end of that block regarding ukraine in this important document , hmm, sam from group 20 is interesting in that there is no ani putin, its not surprising, of course, that one is wanted by the International Criminal court, and heres the other probably does not want to have certain, shall we say, troubles against the background of the fact that literally two weeks ago, the chinese published a standard map. Where, in a fraternal way, the russians captured some of the indian territory and other neighboring countries, well, well, in fact, the entire south china sea, that is, of course that it is not er lets say so er nice klo on which all women should come well and for this holiday the holiday of india character what do they call themselves the new old name of this country is a holiday of fashion who wants to convert all this in the spring of next of the year in the electoral e. Lets say dividends and this is also a landing, not months, well, more precisely, lets say so, a monthly monthly project, e. E. Of course , the group of 20, this very one is happening now e. E. It is also a big event, like the world cup in football, Something Like that saved themselves before this, of course, they wanted to do it like a letter of the global rooster on which to write for the position for the role that india is claiming. So everything is beautiful, but alexander, the grain agreement is the topic of the possible restoration of the grain agreement. It is like one of the of key topics in ts actually right here 20, it seems, and here we have such a publication, in particular, the pain in us publishes a secret letter from the utierash, and what about lavrov, about what he said, lets restore the grain agreement. Under the permission to connect stateowned russian banks, the experience of the system is one of the key economic sanctions, which still exists in our country. Bloomberg writes about what it seems that erdogan was Holding Secret talks and meetings with such and such, with the same agenda, during this summit or should we worry about what the restoration of the grain agreement with such concessions meant for the Russian Federation, first of all, you know, it is very strange how hukyerish sells what he does not have. Well, since neon introduced a sanction, the United States , its european allies and some other countries of the world, it is probably up to them to decide whether they will cancel any sanctions there, this is the first moment, the second. He actually translates the problem with a sore head. Cheers. What is the point of him saying that such an agreement should be made of reinforced concrete that there was no need to extend it worked without any for some years, this will not happen, i want to remind you that the ink has literally not yet had time to dry on the whole agreement signed by russia, well, more precisely, the initiative is called how they struck odesa on the actual grain terminal, that is, to trust our northern neighbors, well, of course, this is not selfrespect and the most important thing that gauthier should say is that it is about the restoration of freedom of navigation in the black sea, and not about the fact that some kind of agreements are written on sticks. They should actually replace this International Maritime law and some other special regimes where russia has a lever of influence, i also want to remind you that even when this agreement was more or less working, the russians constantly tried to put pressure on us by landing on ships for inspection or disagreeing, that is, they have been very good at doing this since the 18th year, when they began to cry the sea of azov, they learned to do such things, thats why he does such a stupid thing with a big account that this will be given to the northern barbarian, well, very simple. This is a precedent that it is possible to break the sanctions , the most important thing is that there are no sanctions against to the export of russian ee food and there are no good ones, because it was laid from the very beginning so that it would not affect Global Markets and destabilize certain countries there , especially in africa. And that is why what the russians are trying to do, they just want to set precedents and break it for the europeans at one time offered lets not connect your eh means this bank of enlightenment and we are creating an institution that will actually be your window into this world and the financial yes and will allow you to trade grain we fertilizers through the russians refused the International Banking system because they dont need it. The second point is that we saw the elements and proposals of the drivers office, but there is no word on what it means. The northern barbarians should stop beating. Well, not on ukrainian cities, just like that, but on terminals, on ships, lets say yes, that is, this is such a onesided idea that absolutely serves only the Russian Federation, and i understand, well, why do we say that you are trying to hook yourself, on the other hand, there are countries in africa where there is an unstable situation, there really is a humanitarian disaster, because more people they are dying and starving because there is not enough grain, including ukrainian grain. I understand his communist points, but he does not solve the problem, he prolongs the problem, he is actually conniving with russia and russia will continue to be only to wash us, so in conclusion, i wanted more to ask. Im watching and i see that there are again many voices calling to return to the somewhat forgotten topic of the closed sky over ukraine, and in particular andreas wrote an interesting column on this topic and about what it actually is, as this already shows war, russia is actually ready to retreat beyond its red lines, which it draws, and he reminds that, in general, the Russian Federation currently does not have its aircraft on the territory controlled by ukraine and to return to the idea of establishing zones that would guarantee that they will not be shelled, in particular, peaceful infrastructure that is critically possible for ukraine with the help of the means offered by nato and the nato country, this is a good idea and it should be on the table as well, so to speak, of the negotiations and on the table of various proposals about how to proceed until the end of the war, there is also a proposal to establish, for example, some kind of zone that would be free from russian shelling or in the black sea, what is needed there, it reminds me that there was a similar situation when russia or the ussr established certain frameworks, this was the case during the caribbean crisis , for example and it always worked, and it is about the fact that in russia it is necessary to show strength, well, in your opinion , are there any changes in this direction . And by the way, there is an interesting publication where the telegraph eh believes that the British Air Force is somehow already in the air above water area of the black sea, and they are there, relatively speaking, insuring ships that move through some alternative corridors. Well, you know very well that we have friends among experts, former politicians, and the military, and it is a pity that there are people who make decisions and they make decisions not based on the red lines drawn by the kremlin starting from 2008, yes, that is, from the aggression against russia, and with the red lines that they drew for themselves at the arena in washington, for example, in their heads of voices. Help from the very beginning, before the day of creation and then and all that we are now watching. This is its evolution, yes, god forbid that there would be these attacks, and i was already joking. Well, we should already ask for the f35 and e temogav missiles, and then under the pressure of this on new e the americans will be more flexible in order to give us operationaltactical missiles in 16 and we will attack. This is the real reason why this will not happen. On yourself and your allies that this war is russias aggression against Ukraine Ukraine has the right from the point of view of International Law to defend itself and there are countries, first of all the United States, their allies that provide assistance to ukraine, but they are not part of this conflict and you do not want to avoid this conflict so that there would not be a third world war , roughly speaking, that is why we will not see any foreign aircraft of the air force of nato member countries on our territory in the near future. Of course , they chose another way to help us first of all, transferring the air defense system, but ukraine is a big country, there is a large amount of infrastructure, and we cannot cover everything with the amount that we receive. Strikes on the russian territory itself, if this restriction did not exist. Then imagine there storm shadow or some other systems could destroy. Russian territory and would destroy the platforms from which they attack our cities, well, at least the black sea fleet could be sunk and most of it with those that are the carriers of er e means rocket caliber. There are some drones, some other means, which of the 200 e are being modified in order to destroy platforms and not shoot down individual missiles that fall on our heads, what can be done realistically, this is what ukraine also showed this way when it recommended that ships go along the ee countries such as moldova itself, we made it a maritime state at one time, romania and turkey in the territorial sea, i. E. 12 miles, and of course you can protect these ships there with antiaircraft systems and , in fact, maybe even with some ee convoys of course, it would be nice to convince the turks to change their position a little and not try to break the sanctions and put pressure on ukraine. By the way , three ships with the products of ukrainian metallurgists passed through this corridor recently for the first time in a year and a half of the war. This is a good thing. Very the sign p is given oleksandr thank you very much for the conversation Oleksandr Khara was with us diplomats expert of the Defense Strategy center on foreign and Security Policy issues we have a short break and will come back to you stay listen to your fm galicia italy ukraine on megogo at the legendary sansiro stadium our National Team will impress the italian audience with a bright game, watch the euro 2024 selection super match on september 12 o on megogo o o o sprained my back flamidez gel quickly reduces inflammation and cures pain from back and joint pain flamidez there are discounts on puzzle pills 10 in pharmacies podorozhnyk to you and oschad events, the most important events, events that are happening just now and affect our lives, of course , the news feed reports about them, but little is known about what is happening, you need to understand antin borkovskii and invitation experts soberly evaluate events, analyze them, modeling our near future, every saturday at 1 00 p.

Now we have already been in such a significant performance. Defense of the orks in Donetsk Region and is holding positions right now, the military needs our help, the fighters need drones to lead the development and destroy the enemy, even on the approach , we take a shot, every drone is the loss of the enemy and the saved life of our soldier, join the gathering , we will show our fighters that we are with them , dear friends we are in the wind again, uh, lesya oklyuk andriy saichuk, we work in this studio for you , what i want to say a little, i want to remind you that the collection is ongoing, well less than four thousand, so that today we are already with you collected 70,000 hryvnias, not bad today, it went in the morning a little bit slower in the afternoon, i understand that you are already a little tired and your wallets have lost a little weight since then, but nevertheless, our collection continues, we need to collect for these eplatforms with turrets, so please join us now you see on your screens the corresponding qrcodes and the number of the bank card 53754112 0831 89 85 eh , please join us, we need to collect a total of 1 million 760,000 uah, and you and i already have 613,825 uah 79 pennies and this is a great result, and today there are already more than 60,000 more a little bit remains to be 70, you and i have gathered. And now a little bit of information that cheered me up. I hope that we will raise it and you a little bit of such arithmetic from the bonuses. And therefore a similar word many of us have these skeptical views, we give this word well , because you know, in fact, it is important in principle to have these doubts because underestimating an athlete leads to the fact that they pay for it with their lives and theirs the best are actually the sons and daughters of this country and it will be necessary to understand this, but one unnamed highranking official said in an interview with reuters that next year russia is unlikely to be able to produce more than 2 million shells for its howitzers, and this is actually not much because this year russia by the end of the year, it is expected that 11 million shells will be fired at ukrainian soldiers, that is, next year they will not be able to maintain this pace of shelling, according to this unnamed official, and let me remind you that artillery now plays a decisive role in this war, artillery the struggle and this, and if the event really reaches the capacity that they stated they are counting on, they are talking about 10 million shells and so on per year, then the situation can radically change on the battlefield in favor of ukraine, and that is why, in fact, they are now desperately trying to come to an agreement with dprk moscow to buy the projectiles that are in their warehouses at any price. Well, the second point is that russia is unlikely, in the opinion of this official, to be able to produce more than 200 tanks by the end of next year, and this despite the fact that they expected to lose less than 2,000, which can also change the situation already now everyone says that as far as tanks are concerned, ukraine has parity with the Russian Federation. Imagine ukraine with the Russian Federation, which had many times more tanks than any other country at the beginning of this invasion. It has already happened now on parity with ukraine and next year everything can change for the worse for russia, this is very cool information, another defense of ukraine, so to speak, god, i will talk about it with roman nazarenko, the director of the Institute Religion and society of the ukrainian catholic university, we welcome mr. Roman to our broadcast. I congratulate you, mr. Roman, this week began or continued with the topic that the pope of rome made such ambiguous statements about russia, somehow looked favorably towards russia, then the vatican refuted his words said well, in the end, the bishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church met with the pope and explained how he offended the ukrainians. Do you think this meeting was convincing for the pope and we will not hear any more such ambiguous reverends from his side to russia, it is difficult to say whether we will not hear such statements again, i have some skepticism here, but what needs to be said is very important that this meeting of the episcopate of the Ukrainian Greek Church took place with the pope and these are actually events which is sometimes underestimated, it is even louder. I think that, for example, about the stations of the cross, when there was a scandal, that is , the Greek Catholic Church is headed by bishops , they decided to turn to the pope, and how nicely the head of the church said, we spoke to the pope in different languages, she obviously meant the meaning of this sentence, as in portuguese, english, and italian. But at the same time, it is still symbolic, that is, i suspect that the head of the ukrainian greekCatholic Church meant what we already know. He is in pain, which the entire ukrainian people endures and feels, not only greek catholics. A sharp conversation on the one hand, but on the other hand, after all, it was a family conversation where the bishops tried to convey the context to the pope, and we must note here that the pope actually does not feel ukraine now, and that is why the bishops tried to change this situation. And you are right. We remembered the popes statements and we can even recall his statements about russia, which he said about the legacy of peter i catherine, and on the one hand , you know once again emphasized that the pope is, so to speak, a hostage of his origin or marches from latin america, and there at one time there was such a priority, even i would not say that 50 was in the direction of the soviet union, but it was simply that it was always realized that the main such representative of imperialism is the United States, and therefore, you know, it was necessary to look for an alternative and this vision always fell on eastern europe, and that is why in the countries of latin america it was like to go to the workers and and that is why it is played somewhere , you know, a bad joke. Now in the attican, it is therefore very surprising that on the one hand he opposes imperialism, and on the other hand, on the other hand, he mentions peter the first, catherine, or even mongolia, he said that your descendants are the descendants of glorious ancestors who knew how to communicate well with other nationalities. Well, we know how the mongols communicated. Thats why, frankly, it was a little strange, but the pope is on the plane going back how did you try to explain what exactly he had in mind and exactly at the meeting with the bishops he showed the icon that was presented to us by his beatitude svyatoslav and he told the pope that he prays to it every night and it seems sad to me that the quote sounded like ukrainians are questioning which side i am on, so i hope that the bishops have spoken loudly about the historical blunders. I am sure that the pope has already been told by his assistants. He is not immune from, you know, one or another blunders, and i suspect they may still be, but it is important that the church spoke out not only for catholics, but ultimately for all ukrainians, trying to convey this pain, so here it is not about insults of ukrainians, but simply about the pain of ukrainians and this is such a key key difference, not only ukrainians are offended, again, the cover of the polish weekly is simply poles, it is a very Roman Catholic nation, er, which visits churches it is part of their culture , and here er, well, i dont know ukrainians, for example they even said that the reaction of the ukrainian greekCatholic Church among the ukrainian faithful of the roman Catholic Church is kind of milder even than how the poles reacted, so i dont know
