Who continues to support our country and what should be expected in the near future, about the situation at the front, where the russians are resuming active hostilities, grief in every family, 1 6 of the inhabitants of the village of groza in the Kharkiv Region died due to hostilities. Rocket shock. About this and much more in todays issue. Internal interests in partner countries are increasingly finding it difficult to agree on aid for ukraine. In the United States, there is a crisis in the congress, in slovakia , the antiukrainian party won the parliamentary elections. Europe is watching the events in america, the political storm that is gathering momentum. Europe has its own potential, an independent power potential, its own. The role and it should be as powerful as possible on all key issues important for europe. Russian inhumans continue to cynically kill peaceful ukrainians, the tragedy in groza in kharkiv oblast, where the invaders killed almost half the village. The air alarm does not subside, and the occupiers bombard the city with aerial bombs, how do people live in kostyantynivka , Donetsk Region. Greetings, iryna koval is in the studio, and this is the news, the results of the week on the espresso tv channel. This week all the talk is about supporting our country. Someone disperses treason, talks about fatigue, but we know that we should trust only verified information. So, joseph biden is in the conversation. With the leaders of the eu7 and nato confirmed that the us will support ukraine as long as necessary. Leaders discussed the continuation of the supply of ammunition and weapons for the defense of our territory, as well as the strengthening of air defense. At the same time , the kremlin and prorussian politicians in the world continue to spread fakes that various countries will grow tired of financing ukraine. And putin again. Stepped up its nuclear rhetoric. White house spokeswoman karinpeer responded to all statements. She said that there is a strong, very Strong International coalition behind ukraine, and if putin thinks he can hold out longer than we can, then he is wrong and despite the crisis in the us congress, the next military aid to our country is still being prepared. In january 2023, cia director William Behrens secretly visited kyiv, where he met with president Volodymyr Zelenskyi and the leadership of ukrainian intelligence. According to the washington post, burns informed them about russias military plans and warned that at some point ukraine will not be able to count on the same amount of aid from the United States as it is now. Even then , the ukrainian leadership doubted whether it would be able to. Congress will adopt a new one in the fall a multibillion aid package, and not without reason. In september, several states plunged into the vortex of the president ial campaign, debates about the budget for the next fiscal year, which in the us begins on october 1, almost led to the socalled shutdown, that is, the paralysis of the federal government. He was avoided at the last moment. Congressmen voted for a temporary budget without an aid package for ukraine, which they decided to adopt as a separate law. However, even such a compromise cost republican kevin mccarthy. Position. House of representatives, he was fired with the votes of democrats and eight trumpist republicans who accused mccarthy of conspiring with president biden, the work of congress is now paralyzed. It worries me, but i know that the majority of members of the house of representatives and the senate, from both parties , have said that they will support funding for ukraine. We will be able to support ukraine with another tranche, there is another way to find financing for this. Presumably, president joseph biden hinted at the administrations special powers to provide assistance to ukraine, which congress has previously praised, in case his work will be paralyzed, but this is a halfmeasure that does not solve the problem in principle, and most importantly for a long time. Against the background of political disputes , support for ukraine among ordinary americans is weakening. The survey was conducted this week. By the Reuters Agency and the Ipsos Research company showed that only 41 of respondents support the provision of arms to ukraine, while 35 did not, in may 46 were in favor, and only 29 were against. Europe is watching the events in america, the political storm that is gaining momentum. Europe has its own potential, independent, power potential, its global role, and it should be as powerful as possible on all key issues important to europe. President zelenskyy made this statement in granada, spain, where the summit of the European Political Community was held this week, where the ukrainian leader, in particular, agreed to strengthen the ppo in the previous winter. Probably, it was about strengthening the support of our country from europe as a whole, in the conditions when the usa entered the preelection period, but the response of the European Union is not too encouraging. The eu will definitely not be able to replace the usa, so the European Union is more support, we now have a proposal for 50 billion euros in economic and humanitarian aid and 20 billion euros for the military component. We can do more, but the us is definitely critical in supporting ukraine. The numbers dont lie. According to the calculations of the Kiel Institute of the world economy, as of the end of july, the eu itself provided and guaranteed the most support to ukraine, more than 84 billion euros, the United States is in second place, more than 69 billion, but there is an important nuance it is about both military and economic and humanitarian aid. If you look exclusively on the military component, the usa is the undisputed leader. 42 million in military aid, while all eu countries together provided a quarter less. Recently, a number of european states have announced their intention to completely curtail military support. Against the backdrop of the grain dispute, polish Prime MinisterMateusz Morawiec announced the suspension of arms supplies to ukraine, and although his statement was hastened to be corrected in warsaw, they say that it is about modern weapons that poland buys from the usa. South korea, observers perceived the words of the head of the polish government as alarming signal, slovakia is also changing its policy. In the parliamentary elections there, the party of exPrime Minister robert fico, who is called the slovakian orban, won, one of its main slogans was, no more patron for ukraine, the president of slovakia, zuzana chaputova, is one of the biggest sympathizers of ukraine in europe. Contrary to her own views, she was forced. Oppose the transfer of another package of military aid to ukraine by the current technical government, because it would mean disregarding the will of the voters, although she later changed her mind. Slovak military aid to ukraine must continue. I respect the results of the parliamentary elections and the negative opinion about it in the party that is conducting coalition negotiations. But any Slovak Administration must understand that it is not only about the security of ukraine, but also about slovakia itself. Zuzanna chaputova, president of slovakia. Is all this a manifestation of the socalled fatigue of the west from ukraine, which in the end could lead to a sharp reduction in aid and force kyiv to negotiate with moscow, on unfavorable terms, because that is exactly what it does bet putin. According to many observers, the risks of such a scenario are now much higher than a year ago. At that time, there was also a lot of talk about. From ukraine, but the lightning counteroffensive in the Kharkiv Region and the liberation of kherson prompted the west not only to continue, but also to increase support. Summerautumn military campaign. This year has not yet been completed, but it is quite likely that according to its results, ukraine will not be able to liberate significant territories, which means that the voices of skeptics and fake peacekeepers will sound louder and louder. So, does the position and approaches of the event change . Providing full and comprehensive assistance to ukraine in the war with russia. We will talk about this with pavel klimkin. Minister of Foreign Affairs of ukraine in 20142019. Mr. Pavle, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, ms. Irina, i congratulate all my friends, i am glad to be with you. Therefore, the socalled fatigue of the west from ukraine and, as a result, the reduction of aid to our state, is repeatedly the subject of public statements by highranking officials in europe and america and publications in leading world media. Of course, this is also one of the narratives of moscow, russian propaganda. On in your opinion, does this fatigue exist, and how might it affect the events ability to provide the support we so critically need . Of course, there is fatigue, and this is such a human, in fact, psychological story, since people see the war, people have been helping us for more than a year and a half, but i would not directly connect the average in this with the projection of a decrease in the amount of military and financial aid, yes there is certainly some indirect influence, but as of today i do not see a direct one, i think that military aid is another dimension, it first, the availability of weapons, and they are becoming less and less because. No one ever thought that there could be a war of this intensity. The second is the ability of the west to establish production quickly enough, and there are also problems with this, since it will not be possible to accelerate the economy to military rails, there is no political will for this, to create largescale financial incentives, there are also political challenges with this, but none the less , production is ramping up, we can see it. And when the European Union promises us a million shells this, this is a figure that is really impressive, even impressive specialists, but domestic politics are also superimposed on it, its next years election, and were already feeling the heat from these elections in the states, because first we became part of domestic politics and part of internal exchanges, which of course is. Unpleasant and not a very good story, then they fired the speaker and the election of a new speaker , it will be a kind of detective story in american politics, but as of today, i am sure that both the states and our european allies and partners will continue to help, i really do not i see so far that it will become more , that they are ready to raise rates, but i also i do not see that they have decided, or even discuss a significant reduction in aid, well, you have already , in fact, started to answer the question that i i wanted to ask you about the United States of america, because they are also entering a kind of turbulence zone, they will have elections very soon, and we know that we have repeatedly heard statements from the radical wing of the Republican Party that aid to ukraine should be, and at the same time, white the house stands on what will be support us unwaveringly and help will be maintained. So, maybe we should also prepare for some surprises, that is, regarding the president ial contests in america . I would not talk about surprises, but about a conscious strategy, about modeling a situation when aid can be delayed, as it is now, when it can become. Less, not radical less, but still essential, everything is critically important for us, and were not just talking about radicals among republicans, were talking about those who actually have to explain to their constituents that they help us, and someone pushes the topic that all this is happening at the expense of, for example, the fight against migration. Due to the fact that in the south, on the border with mexico, there is no strict control over, the flow of drugs , the flow of crime, if you are a farmer somewhere in texas. Or i dont know somewhere in the midwest, of course for you it is your personal history of your families, and it is very important now to work with everyone, but directly with the americans, to explain to them that if they help ukraine less, then they will not they are simply strengthening russia, strengthening china, and he told all this through personal stories. This is a different geopolitics, there are already other tornadoes around us, but nevertheless, again, i do not see this aid becoming radically less, although we will have to fight for each subsequent package, and it will not be a banal story, but the fact that the elections , there will also be elections in the states, there will also be elections for the European Parliament next year, and we perfectly understand that there are difficult moods in europe as well, just look at slovakia and poland, mediated, that is why we have challenges a lot, but when it was easy for us, in fact, well, you already said that in the parliamentary elections in slovakia, as a matter of fact, the political power of the exPrime Minister of this country, robert fico, known for his public prorussian position, and the president of this country, zuzana chapotova, won in view of the future change of the countrys government, in fact, it put a pause on the provision of military aid to ukraine. Polish Prime MinisterMateusz Morawiecki also spoke about the suspension of new supplies of military equipment for the armed forces of ukraine. Or can we say that our traditional allies , as a result of internal political factors , are also changing their approaches to supporting our country . No, these are two completely different stories, slovakia and poland. Indeed, in slovakia. Could fico and his party, if you look at the electoral map, they won almost the entire country, but slovakia is traditionally the most prorussian country in central europe, just look at the number of people who , after 19 months of war, still support russia, yes, what can i say, more than 20 there have a positive attitude towards putin, i. E. We always say that we have to work with the states, with brussels, with germany, but there are our neighbors who have, not of course not, not a common, but somewhat similar mentality with us , we understand them, we understand their language, we understand what is going on with them, and we also need to work with them, of course there are not enough hands for everything, but in nevertheless it is necessary, i think that it will be possible to come to an agreement with fitz, he has an addiction from brussels, there is a dependence on the fact that slovak business will want to work with ukraine, but it will be a difficult conversation, and the slovaks will throw us various hooks in the negotiations regarding eu accession, just like the poles, but the polish story is completely different, the poles understand that for them our support is their own guarantee of their security. The poles understand very well that without us winning, their security will be fundamentally questioned. They used to say, your safety is our safety, your safety is our safety. But firstly, the emotional surge of the elections, and secondly, the competition for leading positions in the ruling party, since most likely kaczynski will leave in a certain time, and thirdly, there are difficult circles and discussions around the issue of exporting our grain, and russia , of course, had a hand in these protests, firmers, although they naturally started by themselves, and there is also the polish government, because. It still misjudged the impact, from the very beginning and gave, in my opinion, inadequate advice to its farmers, but now we have passed this page and we have to prepare with the poles for a Common Security history, since we jointly and there is the eastern flank of nato in the future, and during the Current Movement both towards nato and especially towards the European Union, the discussion with the poles will not be easy, but the drunkard did not. Draw some common conclusions from what is happening in slovakia and poland, yes these stories are somehow tangential, but completely different, as in. Mr. Pavle, i want to thank you for todays conversation. Thank you, mr. Iryna, friends, everything will be ukraine. We stick together, pavlo klimkin, minister of Foreign Affairs of ukraine in 20142019, was in touch with us. And we are moving further. Active fighting continues in the bakhmud direction, along the railway that runs behind andriivka. Klishchiivka and kurdyumivka. Now these Railway Tracks are the main line of defense of the occupiers, but the armed forces of ukraine repel russian attacks and continue to conduct offensive actions. At the same time, the occupiers are trying to break through the lymanokupin direction. There, the invaders continue to accumulate forces and reserves. There are more than 110,000 enemy personnel on this stretch. Defense forces continue to advance on zaporozhye direction our. The defenders restrain the invaders in the District Northeast of novoprokopivka and advance to the north of this settlement. This week, our army already had success near this settlement, however, ukrainian units were forced to retreat due to russian counterattacks. Fierce battles on both sides continue around the willow and robot. The armed forces of ukraine managed to break through the first line of defense, however, enemy. Obstacles do not allow us to advance quickly. In view of the significant mining of this territory, use enemy drones, antitank control means of promotion is extremely difficult, because we carry out measures related to the fact that we are forced to first direct the sappers who clear the passages for our units, and given the fact that the structures built by the enemy , they are many. Tiered, then it is quite difficult for our artillery to knock out the enemy, because we understand that, firstly, a significant amount of ammunition is needed, and secondly, if the ammunition hits the enemy trench inaccurately, then the enemy remains there , so now the fortifications in the south are really so crucial to the pace of advancement, the phones are ringing with calls from relatives and friends, but the callers will never. Pick up the phone, because the russians killed them. This thursday, the occupiers hit a cafe in the village of groza in the Kharkiv Region with an iskander missile. It was there that the Memorial Dinner for the serviceman, who was reburied on the same day, was going on. His entire family died from the blow. More than fifty people are known to have died. And this is kharkiv, next morning on friday. The invaders took the life of a tenyearold boy and his grandmother, the least injured. Only 11 months, russian inhumans continue to kill ukrainians and destroy our cities. Mass graves in kyiv region and Kharkiv Region with hundreds of buried bodies. 61 people did not have time to evacuate from kramatorsk on april 8, 2022. That morning , russian terrorists fired at the railway station. On june 27 of the same year, the russians launched a missile attack on the trading post. Center in kremenchuk, then 22 ukrainians died as a result of shelling. July 2022. The impact of a Cruise Missile caliber on the center of vinnytsia took lives 29 people, including three children. On january 14 , 2023, a day off, invaders targeted a highrise building in dnipro. The Russian Rocket claimed 46 human lives. One big grave. Mariupol, even the un admitted that they cannot count the number of victims while the city is under russian occupation. To this day, it is not known how many people died as a result of the russian terrorist attack on the kakhovskaya dam. After the destruction of the hydroelectric plant, the russian invaders in the temporarily occupied territories of the kherson region did not evacuate people without passport of the russian federation. As a result, more than 500 residents of oleshok could have died. Since the start of the fullscale invasion, according to official data from the prosecutor generals office, russia has claimed the lives of almost more than 10,000 ukrainians. Despite numerous facts and evidence, the terrorist country denies that it kills civilians, attacks cities, residential buildings, schools and hospitals. This is an invasion of russia into ukraine, i have not yet seen it in my career, and this is 18 soldiers, three generations, this is an invasion, this is tens of thousands of crimes, and there will be more, while there are still some ukrainian cities are under occupation. The attention of the whole world is now on ukraine, and we want it to remain so, because we do not want ukraine to become another syria, witnesses and survivors, they will ask if people know what really happened, we gave a voice to these witnesses, somehow impunity was allowed to flourish, and with this project we want to destroy this impunity.
