Another today in the issue about important things in simple language, accessible to all viewers. Greetings, iryna koval is in the studio, and these are the results of the week on the espresso tv channel. News, summaries of the week, every saturday at 21 00 on espresso. Every week, the saturday Political Club helps to understand the processes taking place in ukraine and the world. Vitaly portnikov, host of espresso and invited experts, based on facts, give their assessment and forecast of the development of events, you want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday Political Club, every saturday on espresso, with the russian mentality, we must take this into account that for russia, ukraine is the number one issue, and without ukraine, any future imperialist dreams of russia, they are impossible, without finland they are possible, without ukraine they are impossible, and this is in the mind of not only putin, it is in the mind of every russian, unfortunately, under the influence of decades, or maybe centuries of propaganda, but i think that, after all, ukraines membership in nato is the step which, which, as i said said, will radically change the geopolitical situation in the world, and the member countries should be aware of this, and if there are political changes in the world, i mean , the president ial elections in the United States, very soon, how will the picture with nato, in general, in the world, not only for ukraine, change . If trump wins, i will say this , we do not know what will happen, what will happen in the president ial elections in the United States, of course, the question, the question of the leader of this country, it has an impact, a Significant Impact on the Foreign Policy priorities of this country, but still, i would like to say that today. Has very strong bipartisan support in the United States of america, this was confirmed by the recent visit of the president of ukraine to this country, so i think that this support will still be maintained, and despite the results of the elections in the United States, support, support for ukraine in its struggle prophecy against russian aggression, it will persist. I do not want to rush ahead, how this will affect the support of ukraines membership in nato, since it is no secret that the United States does not support giving ukraine, invitation right today, but even the United States does not question the fact that sooner or later ukraine should become a member of the North Atlantic Alliance, and we should all Work Together to bring that time closer. So we will do it, we are preparing for the summit in the United States, which is less than a year away. Lets look at the results , mr. Yevgeny, thank you very much for your time, thank you, thank you, all is well, chevrons approaching victory, and another year where we do not celebrate. And we choose our independence. And another day when us trying to take away the right to be yourself. And another fleeting moment of a terrible war that has been going on for centuries, but the whole world has already convinced us that our independence cannot be compromised. Do not drown, do not burn, do not shoot. And the greater our hatred, the stronger our independence, the closer our victory, independence, we prove every day, how are you, everything is fine, like children, like a mother, i have more or less everything, well, almost, of course, that fatigue, of course insomnia , but in no case do not feel, because the power is here. Within us and in those around us. We will overcome everything is sure. I also remember the first weeks. It was as if i was consecrating myself and lived only by work. Everything that brought joy before that somehow disappeared. Then the enemy started shelling our cities and our power line. The days without light, communication and warmth have come. I started going on the air and explaining to ukrainians what was happening and what would happen next. At some point i remembered my old hobby, about photography, because no matter what the crisis, we must leave time for ourselves to be happy here and now, want to learn how to help yourself and others, come on the website how are you. Com, a joint information marathon continues. The only news , the we ukraine Team Continues to work for you live, and now a message about. On the distribution of air alarms in the territory of ukraine, the map of air alarms, if you see us, on two thirds, already red, in particular khmelnytskyi , vinnytsia oblast, cherkasy oblast, kirovohrad oblast, mykolaiv oblast, odesa oblast, kherson oblast, zaporizhia oblast, dnipropetrovsk oblast, donetsk oblast, kharkiv oblast, poltava oblast, sumy oblast, and chernihiv oblast, there are also operational reports from the heads of city administrations, in particular ihor terekhov. It is the mayor of kharkiv who reports that at least four explosions were heard in the city, according to his report, it is a rocket attack on the city of kharkiv. According to the reports of the air forces of the armed forces of ukraine, uman should be in shelters, and further in most regions , donetsk, zaporizhzhia, kharkiv, chernihiv, poltava, sumy, there is a threat of using ballistic weapons, we must be very vigilant and not ignore air warning signals, our military asks stay in shelters, in particular over zaporizhzhia, powerful explosions are heard there, this is reported by ukriinforms own correspondent, and also regarding kharkiv oblast, there is information from the head of the kharkiv military garrison, serhiy melnyk, that the enemy attacked kharkiv oblast from belgorod, previously from the zrks 300. At the moment, an enemy drone has been detected in the sky. Pilot, the information will be rechecked further, there are explosions, kharkiv region, well , actually, what we said, that uman should also remain in shelters, like most regions, now you see the map on their own screens, or hear our voice, please do not ignore the air alert signals , we will inform you about all changes and operational information during our broadcast, and now to another topic, africa wants. Not only to buy ukrainian weapons, the region in particular seeks to Place Production on its territory, said the minister of Foreign Affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, during the Defense Industries forum. He also added that even before the start of the fullscale russian invasion of ukraine, africa was one of the largest markets for Ukrainian Military products, so now they are waiting for their return to the market, yes, notes mr. Koleba. Well, tehran. Moscow may agree on the supply of Ballistic Missiles to the aggressor country, and this may happen after the expiration of the Un Security Council resolution regarding iran, according to a representative of the Main Intelligence Department of the ministry of defense. Andriy yusov. Ukraine is somewhat concerned about this and is closely following the development of the situation together with its partners. Yuso also noted that we are trying to take certain steps to prevent this supply from happening. Taras zhovtenko, an expert on International Security of the Democratic InitiativeFoundation Named after ilko kuchayev joins our conversation. Mr. Taras, good night. Congratulations greetings, good night. Well, lets start with africa. Mr. Kulebo also noted that, in principle , this cooperation regarding the location of some ukrainian productions on the african continent is not at the right time yet, but it is not clear why africa is declaring this right now, right now, right now, that they need not only ukrainian weapons, they also need production. Well, actually, for me this is a continuation of the trend due to this displacement of the Russian Federation from the african continent, which actually began almost a few months ago, almost two months ago, and this is actually due to the fact that, on the one hand , the russian position on the african continent has been shaken due to the kremlins problems with wagner and personally with his leader prigozhin, and actually, due to the inability of the ministry of defense of the Russian Federation and the general staff to effectively take control of wagners operations in africa. Well, in the end, it became clear to most conscious african countries that in fact, this is a very good chance to get rid of russian influence, or at least to start taking the first concrete steps to minimize this influence, well, because in fact african states understand very well what the russian presence on the continent is, they see these under the control of the Russian Federation , military juntas in certain countries, the socalled sahel, er, this is a belt of african countries that is located under the sahara desert, south of this desert, and in fact, african states perfectly see and understand what is happening there under the russian influence, that is, the typical policy of russia in relation to african states, it is a military coup, the bringing to power of a military junta allied to the kremlin, the establishment of a military dictatorship, and so on, which rests exclusively on russian weapons, on russian bayonets, including wagners mercenaries and accordingly, the pumping out of Natural Resources from these countries as a payment for keeping in power the moscowcontrolled hundred of these very military, and actually because of the situation , first of all, in niger, where, well, individual african states, individual unions regional african states are trying to remove from power those forces that came as a result of military coups, actually , well, this gives. the states an understanding that , first, russia can be pushed out of the african continent, but african countries, looking at the war that russia launched about against ukraine, understand that in fact, in order to dislodge the russians, weapons are needed, and these weapons must definitely be of Higher Quality than what the Russian Militaryindustrial complex can offer, so in fact , we now see that representatives of the key african countries are becoming increasingly interested in the Ukrainian Militaryindustrial complex. And actively trying to agree on a strategic perspective, including the placement of Ukrainian Arms production facilities on the territory of these african states. Please tell me, in your opinion, this is a production that can be, well, so far we are discussing, it is not happening yet, but there are ideas, and if they have already been voiced at such an official level, then it is obvious that there are certain calculations in african countries, they exist, but its no secret that russia has certain countries in the community of africa, and is it not possible, mr. Taras, that an enterprise will be organized, or the countries of africa will purchase our weapons, and then the same weapons, the countries allied to the Russian Federation, will be transferred to the country of the aggressors. I think that we will discuss these issues from the very beginning, this should be one of the conditions in general that will enable cooperation between ukraine and certain african countries that will be interested in. In fact, here we understand, we must understand, that there will be a certain phasing in how ukraine will increase cooperation here is this one along the lines of the military industry, with the countries of the african continent, that is, obviously, at the beginning it will be about us placing certain separate industrial capacities that will allow african states to effectively repair and exploit the weapons that they have, well, actually here it is about the fact that so far african countries. The vast majority use weapons of former soviet production, former russian production, even if in our previous relations with african countries, they were precisely based on the fact that all weapons, they took place at the ukrainian enterprises of the Ukrainian Military industry, accordingly there was technical maintenance, and certain technical improvements and so on. But now, both we and our partners in africa understand that the Ukrainian Militaryindustrial complex will receive such an additional power resource, including through access to western technologies and through the establishment of joint productions, the Ukrainian Militaryindustrial complex with our western partners, and lets say that can be such a qualitative step forward for the countries of africa in the sense that they will receive the weapons that they in principle technologically understood, that is, it will be a weapon that will be partially based on the soviet models that ukraine operates , but it will already be a weapon, lets say, more pumped with western technologies, and it seems to me that this is exactly what will be of interest to african countries in the medium term and actually, well, if in order to make it impossible for these weapons to fall into the hands of the russians, we will ask our future partners, the countries of africa, which will join such initiatives, well, lets say, give us additional guarantees that the Russian Federation will not be present there at all. Well, in fact, we already have such a vivid example of how it can be done, this is an example when turkey bought the s400 from russia, yes, although before that, turkey was actively involved in the development of the production of an american aircraft. F35, well, one of the most modern aircraft of the fifth generation, and at the moment when turkey signed an agreement with russia on the purchase of these s400 complexes, the United States of america said that they, firstly, stop any cooperation with turkey on the further production of aircraft, and secondly, they deprive turkey of access to these technologies in general, the americans even took away aircraft, of which the turks had a few for familiarization, for testing, and so on. Now, turkey can neither participate in this International Consortium for the production of this aircraft, nor should it, it has no right to apply for any contracts to supply these aircraft to the country, as long as the turkish air Defense Forces operate russian s400. Ugh, well, it was interesting information in general, we already discussed it in this studio, in particular, that turkey, being a country of nato, of the North Atlantic Alliance , buys Russian Military systems s400, and this is really very strange, but in relation to this, i wanted to talk more with you about the interaction of tags moscow, on this track, you know that now there is news that the resolution of the United Nations organization ceases to be in effect, regarding the restrictions on iran, and the iranian authorities can take advantage of this, and apparently quickly to realize all his intentions regarding the sale of Ballistic Missiles for the Russian Federation, right . Do they not know about this in the organization of the United Nations, allowing such and such pauses in the actions of the resolutions . I think these things are known, its just that the question here is whether organizationally and procedurally the same radbon can continue the effect of these resolutions while the Russian Federation is sitting there, which also perfectly understands that for its iranian allies this opens a window of opportunity for to increase russian aggression against ukraine and the russians troops on the territory of ukraine, actually, well, one can very boldly predict that the Russian Federation will oppose any, any attempts by the United Nations organization, the security council, for example, yes, to continue the effect of this resolution, well, actually , by the way, this may be one of the moments that moscow could have promised tehran to strengthen, so to speak, this partnership and this mutual dependence, well, actually. Uh, we see that for today, at least in that , regarding drone deliveries, uh, cooperation between russia and iran is developing quite actively, and actually now there is even talk of the fact that on the territory of the Russian Federation there will be assembly lines, the assembly of these drones, well, for now it is about assembling them, just as they say, so overall, yes, that is well, it wont be, as they say, the assembly of these drones from scratch, its just, well, if they will simply be assembled in these already readymade large blocks, but nevertheless, this is a step towards iran being able to deploy on the territory of the Russian Federation the production of which connected directly with irans militaryindustrial complex, and here it must be understood that for tehran this is actually , well, a much more profitable thing that iran can get from the Russian Federation, because, well, an example of israels active position in opposing the development of the Iranian Military machine is that the Iranian Militaryindustrial complex is already does not feel very safe, at least those enterprises that are located directly on the territory of iran itself, that is. Well , if he introduced such a systematic practice of strikes on the Iranian Militaryindustrial complex, but iran perfectly understands that if any part of this production is to be on the territory of the Russian Federation, then at least for israel these goals will be unattainable, and this , by the way, actually opens up another direction for us , such real practical cooperation, with israel, because, well, in fact, we, having the opportunities, have already developed such , so to speak, yes, to strike military targets on the territory of the Russian Federation, we can help israel here, but of course, counting on military assistance from israel itself, so in relation to ukraine, but the issue of supplying Ballistic Missiles, it in fact, the issue is quite serious, and in fact, there is a threat that, well, if this matter moves at all, so between russia and iran, then in the end it can go. Along this track with drones, including with such a mixing of technologies, that is, it is clear that somewhere the Russian Militaryindustrial complex can strengthen the potential of iran, but in fact , in this case, the Iranian Militaryindustrial complex has a little more chance to help the russians, because, well, iran once got access to such at that time , yes, it is there 70 80s of Electronic Technologies american and actually uh, this is still used, and this is what iran can actually offer russia, and this is what should worry not only us, but also the United States of america, and israel, well, in principle, all the key players in the region at least because the strengthening of iran determines additional risks of escalation in the middle east. Mr. Taras, thank you, we will monitor how these International Connections and International Relations develop. Thank you, Taras Zhovtenko was with us, an international expert. Security fund Democratic Initiatives named elka kuchereva. Thanks. Preparations for a meeting between xi jinping and joe biden continue soon , with Chinese Government officials visiting washington, the walol street journal reports. He said the governments are discussing visits by chinas top Economic Policy official and the foreign minister. According to the publication , the visit of vice premier of china helifen is also planned. The heavenly leader himself can visit. The american states are within the framework of participation in the atec summit in San Francisco already in november. Well, journalists are convinced that such an event is could ease the power and tense relations between the states. The situation worsened at the beginning of the year, when the chinese hot air balloon was captured by the superpowers. As western media wrote then, china could use it to monitor american secret facilities. Well, joe biden called everyone a dictator. Also very different. And the Foreign Policy of the two countries, including russias war against ukraine. Yuriy olynyk, expert of the nongovernmental center of the ukrainian studio of strategic studies, head of Research Programs, is now with us live connection mr. Yuriy, good night to you. Good night, congratulations. Glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, well , this possible visit of xi jinping seems quite unexpected, especially considering the tension in these relations between washington and beijing. Right at this stage, yes, do you still think xi jinping will decide to come to the United States, well, i think the problem is for him to come himself, he has no fear that something will be done to him, this is not putins issue, so that although the chinese regime is also, we know, accused of and acts against humanity, crimes, even genocide against the uygh. In the same xinjiang, the suppression of rebellions there in hong kong, but it does not carry out open aggression, open aggression against neighboring countries at the moment, and is quite a strong state, economically strong, politically, so i am now not such a threat of a personal security issue, regarding xi jinpings visit which western country , here is a question of status and a question of readiness for a direct conversation, because such conversations rarely take place once every few years, which, as qualitative conversations, in principle, which have a lot of influence, we saw such meetings that took place last fall, which launched this process that began after a few months, so to speak, the flow of chinese peace initiatives, a little bit, and now we see, in my opinion, a certain course. To the fact that china still wants to deescalate to a certain extent at this moment, because russia has shown that it is a vassal and that it is its power proxy, that it is not very capable of acting on its own to go to the end and win at the moment , and regarding its own application personal army, china follows the example of russia, whose army is modeled on soviet models, and in view of the indicators of military reforms in the army, which are underway, which continue, will require a few more years, it is assumed that china is not ready for some kind of strong escalation, even in taiwan, for this at least a few more years are needed, therefore, i think it is so, for now it is worth waiting for another such attempt, detente, albeit, but in such a mini format, because those passages that are between china, the chinese bloc and the uswest block, they are not going anywhere yet, but we see some search for russia. Compromise, which is manifested in the fact that china visited the forum and the us and china visited the wellknown forum of saudi arabia, a peacemaker, which many said was really, politically important from the aspect that there were many representatives of key states of the global south, but it is important behind the scenes that the representatives of china and the usa communicated directly. Mr. Yuri, in your opinion, during this. Meeting, who will be in charge, who will ask whom questions and dictate the terms, because frankly, two countries are leaders, countries that have a certain confrontation and political, in particular, how do you see this conversation . Well, i see that we can look to some extent at those examples that existed from the times of the cold war, then we know that even when there were the most acute moments between the ussr and the usa, it almost did not come to a nuclear war, but at the same time there were some moments of some attempts at detente, not even detente , at a time of tension, when personally these states are proxy wars, whether in vietnam or in others, he goes to china, uh, there the american president s go to moscow flew, moscow, the leaders of the cpsu, muscovite bolsheviks to the usa, that is, they simply counted on the strength. of their opponent , who, despite the fact that he is clumsy, he has enough strength to speak to him respectfully, now such a counterparty is china, of course, at the moment the west can do a lot, a large arsenal, if desired and with a certain political determination to limit chinas capabilities, china already has big economic problems with the recession, from now on there is a mortgage crisis going on in it, with regard to buildings , as for construction, construction is big, a lot of construction is stopped, other problems, but it is now dependent on tied trade with the west, but nevertheless, given the demographic, economic and increasingly growing militarypolitical role of china, in the world they are talking now as such, competitors, but at the same time counterpartners. Mr. Yuriy, we are extremely grateful to you for these comments, yuriy oliynyk, expert of the ukrainian studies nongovernmental center. Of strategic studies, the head of Research Programs was in direct contact with us, we talked about the probable xi jinpings visit to the United States of america is already in november, and lets remind you that there are air alarms , by the way, there are partial air alarms, here we can see a map of ukraine, cherkasy oblast , an alarm, odeshchya from an alarm, and excuse me, cherkasy alarm , so from the battle of alarm odeshchyna, the battle of alarm Mykolaiv Region and. Also the kherson region from battles of anxiety. We monitor all dangers and official information of the air force of the armed forces of ukraine directly and even more news, lets watch and listen further from marina kuhar. Chevrons approaching victory. They fought for us, they gave their lives so that we could continue to live freely. October 1st, 9 00 a. M. , this is the time when all ukraine will stop, all cities, cars, people, in a minute of silence
