Life frankly and impartially draw conclusions yourself and i congratulate you dear tv viewers on the air of the Event EspressoProgram Studio analyze will be the most important events, in particular , we are talking about the huge meetings that took place this week in the United States , without a doubt, the window events of our today guests daniel fried and andriy piankovskyi will now work on the espresso tv channel. Daniel fried is one of the creators of the american sanctions system, excoordinator of the state department for sanctions policy. Greetings, dear mr. Frit, in the studio of the espresso tv channel. Thank you very much. Extremely important meetings were currently taking place in the United States. We understand that there were several cases that we all tried to solve at the same time, in particular, it is about an extremely Important Message from president zelenskyi , it is about meetings between our ukrainian by the political establishment and the american and, accordingly, key stories this is a serious longterm help in the country, but unfortunately we did not receive a signal regarding the allocation of longrange etakems Missile Systems , there are two reasons why the visit of president zelensky to washington and also to new york for the Un General Assembly is such important, first of all, president zelenskyi wants to strengthen american support for ukraine and its struggle for survival. Zelenskyi is doing the right thing, he must convince the americans and the rightists and the leftists and the democrats. Republicans that what they are doing for ukraine is a just cause and that ukraine can succeed. The second message is that he insists on increasing the provision of weapons in the biden administration. There is an internal debate about the attacks that you mentioned. The benefit of ukraine, therefore , zelenskys actions are aimed at ensuring that ukraine is able to push back the russians and return its territories. What is called largescale economic aid from the side of the United States. Yes, we have heard about certain signals from the state department and not only from that side, in particular , it is about the fight against ukrainian corruption. Deepened cooperation and Penny Pritzker appeared, what will be the strategy of interaction, first of all, i believe that the appointment of a senior experienced american politician , Penny Pritzker, is very good. She is not a middleranking bureaucrat. She represents a highranking political power that will be able to do what i would not be able to do if i was in this position, and all thanks to her political status, so its great that you raise the issue of corruption , so ukraine must fight for its existence and it needs internal transformation to become part of the european family ukraine will succeed in both aspects , but it will not be easy in ukraine. It will be difficult, but that does not mean that it is impossible. Ukraine knows which way to come. It can adopt the experience of its western neighbor poland began its successful transformation in 1989. And now it is a member of the european union, nato, and a much more prosperous society. So, after the war, ukraine will need not only physical reconstruction , but also systemic transformation, and i think that penny gossiper can support ukraine in both of these tasks, dear sir, grain ambassadors agreement and a very serious Mutual Political not only economic misunderstanding between ukraine and poland, we understand that ukraine should sell its grain, this is strategic for us history from the other side, we understand that poland would like to somehow protect its own market and there are a lot of different speculations, a lot of different emotions, we understand that these emotions can take us very, very far. I see this as a huge colossal danger and at the same time when we talk about the socalled grain agreement , i would like to ask you why the European Commission is so sluggish and unconvincing and ineffective. Yes, we understand that the European Commission could raise its finances and purchase ukrainian grain. Yes we understand if it is about helping the starving countries of africa, asia, and so on, lets really say that in the last two or three days, the rhetoric between poland and ukraine was quite sharp, which could not but please the kremlin, and the polish and ukrainian governments should move away from this and understand that they are allies and that what is happening now is nothing more than a family quarrel emotional tension can be high but we all know very well that it is not necessary to take garbage out of the house it is very important as far as i know poland allows for ukrainian grain to transit through poland to africa and the middle east, that is, it did not block all ukrainian grain, you can learn about this from some comments in the media, but poland is worried about the sale of ukrainian grain at low prices, because grain prices have fallen due to the Large Russian harvest and russians flooding the market there is a way out of this situation, and you mentioned it. The European Commission could probably become a mediator in reaching a certain understanding that would protect polish farmers and the polish market by providing ukraine with access to World Markets in transit through poland, such a solution would be optimal, i cannot give an Expert Opinion on the details, but it seems to me that there would be a way forward today. Rather, i fear that the ukrainianpolish misunderstanding may reach an additional unpleasant emotional level , and in your opinion, are there any chances in general to establish this cooperation and return at least to the state that was before the grain misunderstanding, how the war continues and the ukrainianpolish understanding and the ukrainianpolish union is actually a nightmare for the kremlin since 1920. That is how poland and ukraine have a common strategic interest in protecting the eastern flank of europe from russian aggression poles know very well that in the 17th century everything would have been different if they had supported the ukrainians and zaporizhzhya sich, in particular , that is, russia. Always takes advantage when poland and ukraine quarrel. Poles know how much their country has done for ukraine humanitarian for strategic reasons, as well as the fact that friendship with ukraine is in their interests, and it really is. It is in our common interests , while the kremlin wants to see poland and ukraine in a state of enmity. Friends of poland and ukraine, like me, want to see polishukrainian relations at a high level for the fulfillment of the hopes of leaders on both sides who understand that together they can be safer than alone last week in a conversation with me matthew bryce, a former adviser to the secretary of state on a mutual acquaintance of yours said that zernova the agreement, in particular russias attempts to interpret it in its favor, the attempt to distort it, also indirectly indicates another process under the guise of this russian version. They would like to continue the intensification of the supply of russian gas through turkey and bulgaria using the socalled turkish flow and then involve serbia and hungary and according to ambassador bryza , the European Commission is currently preparing to investigate this hidden , implicit case. He is a wise and experienced person. We have known each other for 30 years, and i think that his advice are good. He is right. The task facing all of us is to help ukrainian exports to enter World Markets in the face of russian war and aggression. Such a goal is achievable if transit through poland and romania is ensured, and some transported goods will go through the black sea. Recently, such transportation were, however, they will also demand pressure on russia, all this is possible, and lets not forget that the ukrainian counteroffensive is still ongoing. It is quite possible that ukraine will win back enough territory to logistically cut off crimea and change the strategic course of the war for wheeled weapons behind the scenes of big politics, which president zelenskyi mentioned during his speech at the Un General Assembly. Russian aggression at our expense, president zelensky is right and his point of view is that security cannot be divided , we are dealing with aggression against ukraine, which will not stop just like that, this is a lesson that we learned in the 20th century and should not forget it security for ukraine is security for all of us under putin russia has returned to the role of an aggressor country we must be realistic about this russia is not our friend russia the aggressor who started wars to achieve their imperial goals this is not only ukraine and nato are the business of the whole world, the support of ukraine in europe and the United States and among other countries is quite strong, and i am impressed that president zelenskyy addressed the world from the podium of the General Assembly of the un, he is not the first leader who made similar statements, but it is obvious that the truth is on his side, we understand that putin is counting on certain supporters of his version, for example, the end of the war. Putin hopes that part of the western summers will put pressure on the ukrainian political stebnyk ment on the ukrainian government. So he will try or delay it as long as possible conflict or freeze it, and the question is how determined will we be american political elites european political elites in what is called helping ukraine win as soon as possible putin unequivocally is counting on a protracted war to exhaust american and european support for ukraine. Perhaps he is also counting on the elections in the United States next year, on the fact that his supporters came to power, for example , trumps soul gravitates to putin rather than to the cause of freedom. Policy is to help ukraine now as much as we can so that it can push back the russians , change the strategic course of the war and eventually , as they say, put the russians on their shoulders chinese diplomacy shows another phase of increased activity. But what will be chinas position now . Will china play in support of russian aggression against ukraine or vice versa . Beijing will try to restrain putin and will convince him in one way or another to end the aggression. I believe that the chinese do not want putin he lost to them inconveniently because he started this war and didnt like anyone because he took up a cause that anya can neither win nor stop, this puts the chinese in a difficult position, they dont want putin to lose, but they dont want to be either involved in his defeat, that is, they do not want to be too closely tied to putin , it is not worth expecting a break in relations between china and russia, but chinas enthusiasm for supporting putins war seems limited , that is, their partnership does have certain limitations. Supporting ukraine until our victory, will the formula still be used so that ukraine does not lose, as for me it is not just a semantic difference, it is an extremely significant change in the formula, it is important to support and call ukraine to success to victory, the americans did not expect that ukraine would be able to show itself so well on the battlefield, the United States government knew that there would be a war , but they thought that russia would easily handle ukraine. This is where they were wrong and it took them some time to understand that ukraine can actually succeed in the struggle, the Us Administration does not want to make too many promises, we all hope for the victory of ukraine, and i think that it is quite realistic, and despite this, a lot depends on the course of events on the battlefield, so in my opinion opinion instead of arguing about semantics. We should provide ukraine with the weapons it needs as soon as possible so that it can confidently approach victory. At one time, we hoped that the russian economy would fall by some miracle. They managed to stabilize both the Ruble Exchange Rate and the domestic Economic Situation in russia in general, and actually wanted i would like to ask you whether there are still some sanctions mechanisms left that would help the russian economy to return to the state it had, for example , in the late 80s. So i understand that this process continues but there is a feeling that it is not fast enough sanctions and indeed can be strengthened but no sanctions will ever work perfectly there will always be evasion of sanctions but this does not mean that sanctions do not work imperfect sanctions are a reality but they can harm the russian economy which in the end they do too we must increase sanctions pressure i recently wrote an article in which i proposed how to do this is mainly about financial sanctions we must manage even more effectively these new restrictions on oil and also prosecuting those who supply prohibited technologies to russia, so all this is difficult, not perfect and takes time , but we must do it, we must not forget the experience of the soviet economy, the sanctions against the soviet economy were inconsistent and imperfect , but the soviet economy still did not withstand we must not forget this experience well, but on the other hand, russia can go, you understand. Like a lame duck for quite a long time, you know, it reminds me of something to knock down a soviet t80 tank, but it goes. It goes, it kills. It putin is not going to end the war and withdraw his troops. Yes, we understand that president zelenskys formula was accepted on all international platforms, in particular, the key story is the withdrawal of Russian Troops from our temporarily occupied territories. On the other hand, we understand putins position and mutiny or pseudo prigogines mutiny did not come from putins nose as we all hoped when the economy is under pressure the russian political system is also under pressure we know this from russian and soviet history we we know that when russia starts wars and does not win them, political pressure increases and then changes occur, we are well aware of this , the defeat of russia in ukraine, the success of ukraine on the battlefield may mean the defeat of putinism, and i really hope for it, or the Election Campaign in the United States can affect what is called the consolidated position of republicans and democrats, the democrats are united in supporting ukraine, except for a very small group of extreme leftists, the situation with the republicans is more complicated, President Trump does not support ukraine, he supports putin many of his followers in the Republican Party are also against supporting ukraine. We are not talking about the majority, but their ranks are being replenished and today they are very loudly asserting themselves in our politics, which caused difficulties in providing ukraine with an aid package from president biden. President zelensky can make corrections. He met with the speaker of the chamber representatives, mr. Mccarthy, who is a republican and who can influence the general mood. I really hope so. It is necessary to put pressure on russia on the battlefield. In turn, they should help ukraine because putins achilles heel will be found in any case, thank you for this opportunity to express yourself on the air of your program glory to the heroes thank you dear mr.
