See you at 16, read more about important things on our website espresso tv, subscribe to our channels in social networks and be sure to subscribe to our youtube channel, all the best. Thank you, the reporter, thank you to the news editors, well, lets inform you about the most important things, so the president of ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi said today that russia is preparing to mobilize an additional 300,000 people on june 1st. The president of ukraine stated this at a joint press conference with the president of finland, quoting interfax ukraine, i can say the president s direct speech. That russia is preparing to mobilize 300,000 additional troops on june 1. Well, today ukraine and finland signed an agreement on security cooperation. Helsinki will provide longterm military and financial assistance, as well as deepen cooperation with ukraine in the political, financial, humanitarian and reform spheres. Here is the information. Now we will join maksym nesviytailov, an International Political scientist, with whom we will actually talk about geopolitics. News, a lot of them have accumulated in recent days, is mr. Maksym with us now . Not at the moment, but we will continue to inform you, in particular, and remind you that yesterday zelensky signed everything the same laws that provide for raising the mobilization age from 27 to 25 years old, it is lowered and lowered, and zelenskyi also signed the Electronic Office of conscripts. Document, by the way, i would be interested to find out with our peoples deputies how we will have the opportunity to talk with them about what it will be, because in our studios, in particular, we talked about the fact that the military cabinet can only be on voluntary terms, yes, not mandatory, because there are people who do not have access to a stable internet, and accordingly, i would like to understand whether the march formula is called voluntarycompulsory, for example, there or consultativecompulsory. Well, but, but, the question here is whether a conscript would be required to have such a cabinet, or would it be used for cataloging and certified storage of very specific information regarding our corps of potentially mobilized recruits, so this is an important story, but you right, that is, there are very important details here, well, we will talk about this a little later, and now we are waiting for ours political scientist, internationalist. Because the next signals, so to speak, from the United States , marta and i were already trying to untangle all the tricky knots, promises, repromises after the rain on thursday, lets go after the catholic easter, lets go after the orthodox easter, well, in one word, maxim nesvitaylov, an International Political scientist, is in touch with us, glory to ukraine, mr. Maksym, congratulations, congratulations, glory to the heroes, well, what, you know, more abundant internet, various things. Of the plan with alarming publications, as well as american politics now gave information that there, well, the situation on the battlefield along the front line may not be too simple, especially if the enemy uses additional resources, possible breakthroughs, and so on. We understand that this is specifically designed for an american audience, such publications are not intended to intimidate our fearless pensioners, yes, but we understand that it is necessary to mobilize the americans, and the americans are not able to do anything. It seems that they are constantly stirring up everything formulas, you know, if they are already a grant, this is a grant allocation of 60 billion funds, they cannot to give birth, yes, well, they were offered, lets lend one or the other, and again something is not, they are pulling again, how do you evaluate the american congressional perepetiy . But now, perhaps, i would even say that the optimism is a bit understated. Given the last two or three months of complete uncertainty that has existed and the total stupor that has been in congress, caused by the lack of understanding there between the republicans and the democrats, the lack of understanding between the senate and the house of representatives, caused, well, mostly by one factor donald trump, and now everything is starting little by little. Ostensibly to crystallize, trump weakened his position, i think, as a result, this is a consequence of the fact that his ratings have fallen a bit, joe biden has started to catch up with him, they are now actually equal. And it seems to me that the understanding has come to the trump team that at some points they overreached, and that is why they are now trying to find such a compromise option in order to sell it to their audience as a victory and avoid this complete blocking, given that mr. Maxim, you as an International Political scientist, well have your own inner intuition and your own vision, so we understand that they can be there for a long time. To wrap up, well, autumn drags on and on and on, you understand, we understand how it affects the situation on the battlefield, the american congressmen continue to look for one or another formula, but sometimes you get the feeling that they are dragging something out, although you want to believe that maybe once they will take it, make a voluntary decision, vote, well, unfortunately, it seems to me that everything here depends to a greater extent on the will of one person, as i told donald trump and the congressman. The situation looks like, well, i dont want to say hostages of circumstances, because it removes responsibility from them, but they think more about their own personal interest, about the fact that they will soon have their own reelection there before the Congressional Elections in the fall, plus, after all, trump hes the only candidate from the republican party, hes their guy and they have to support him to some extent, and so its kind of strange for them to take this position, but it seems to me that this is. What theyve come to now to propose this formula with by lending to ukraine, and in the same place, mike johnson quite openly says that then we will figure out how this loan will be returned, the main thing is that, and this is not only, by the way, in relation to ukraine, it concerns israel and taiwan, which type we are building such relations with our partners, of mutual benefit, for ukraine it is quite possible that it will be even under the guise of russian frosts. Asset in the United States, theyre right there for 65 billion, if im not mistaken, is now located, so its this option that really can work, mr. Maxim, please, i just want us to understand, and our viewers to understand, that its not just about credit now, johnson is already talking about some kind of lifting of the ban on gas exports, you know, versions of some new ones appear more often, and we understand that this is all from. Happens with the aim of delaying the process of providing aid to ukraine, there is simply no other explanation for this, because since november the republicans initially demanded that the migration policy be included in the aid package ukraine, then they talk about the possibility of a loan, now they want to negotiate the lifting of the ban on gas exports, and we understand that this story can go on forever, or until the president ial election in the United States, so im coming straight to you the question is, do you think, before the election. Of the United States, ukraine has a chance to get this help. Ukraine has a chance, and it is just increasing with the pressure that the media is currently exerting. They directly affect society, society is not ready for for ukraine to lose this war, because a lot has already been done to prevent this from happening, and the fact that history is currently being rolled out, that russia is ready, is preparing a new offensive for the summer. The big offensive, well, it has already begun, mr. Maksym, this offensive has already begun, what is meant there is a repetition of the offensive on kyiv, well, its more like that for you, well , at least the largescale story that they are trying to portray and sell to their audiences so that it affects their dissatisfaction with the people who directly make decisions and that by summer ukraine has already started receiving this aid, and accordingly the vote should also take place by the summer, and it seems to me that the chances that the vote will take place and this aid will be approved by the summer, they exist and they are quite real. And we can count on our european friends for this period, because macron, as a war hawk , is already behaving now, once he was a war dove, now he is positioning himself more as a war hawk, he does not have to convince biden and scholze theirs is more radical in decisionmaking, but i see. That macron is currently supported only by the baltic countries in his position, and on the other hand, we also understand that when, of course , trump comes to power, we do not know what natos position will be, and stoltenberg yesterday also stated that it is possible to create some kind of separate fund to support ukraine so that we are not left without support in case there are political changes in the United States, how fast do you think this process can take place, whether our european friends and our friends will have time. Still still prepare some kind of cushion for us until the moment, perhaps, if the policy of the United States changes . Well, here, by the way, the question is not so clearcut, because. Given these hawkish statements of macron, we do not see any serious confirmation of the plan of action, because there is still no information on the fate of france in the Czech Initiative, if i i didnt miss the latest news, but i didnt notice, i think that this information would definitely occupy some leading columns, im sorry. We were not scared, mr. Maxim, continue the main thing is not to break the dishes, yes, the second nuance is that you j
