51 billion dollars is a big package of financial assistance from the united states of america, not voted in the congress of the united states of america, there are no answers as to when it will happen yet. the senate of the united states of america is supposed to consider this issue this week, they did not specifically go on christmas vacation, obviously the congress will vote after the new year. well, the question of 50 billion dollars remains open. to or euro of aid from the european union, that in this situation, how in this situation it will all be to take place already in february of the 24th year. in short, let's listen to what zelenskyi said about the planned packages of financial aid from the european union and the united states of america to ukraine. as for the financial aid, we are working very hard on this, i am sure that

the united states of america will not betray us and that what we agreed on in the united states will be fully implemented. as for the european union, well, there were big stakes, everyone played on big stakes, we achieved one victory with regard to the european union, with regard to 50 billion, i am sure, we are in... all this already have reached, the question now is some appropriate time. so, this was zelensky's answer regarding financial assistance to the european union and the united states of america. in addition, zelenskyi said that, in his opinion, russia has not achieved any results for 2023, and in addition, zelenskyi says that he... worked and will work with the

team he has, because if that team will not exist, then there will be nothing in ukraine that ukraine will receive now, including air defense, this would, of course, be what was said about air defense and about the team, it would require additional expansion, because it seems that if andriy yarmak and oleh tatarov are not there, then there will be no air defense in ukraine. why, why it was said that way, i don't know for sure, and i can't decipher these. zelenskyi's words , because it can't be that during the war, all aid or everything depends on the six or seven people zelenskyi spoke about, because then this management system, which is in operation, needs some kind of reformation or expansion, they asked zelenskyi about the unity government of national trust, he asked journalists who they would like to see

as the new prime minister of ukraine, and if journalists have any suggestions, he is ready to listen, although in this situation, of course, zelensky should gather the leaders parliamentary factions of the groups and to talk with them about what the new government could be, and whether it is a government of national trust or a government of unity, just like it was in israel on the first day of the war, when hamas attacked israel, it was the seventh. october 2023, when despite everything, despite all differences politicians, politicians said that for us the most important thing is what is in the country, and the most important thing for us is the country, and we work for this country, so let's unite and work together against the enemy, without dividing the teams in sight, this my team, this is not my team, without my team you may not get that, that, that, because ukraine's victory is now at kona.

over russia, and for this victory, i think that any political forces, any politicians, are ready to unite, we just need to integrate all political efforts for this victory friends, i remind you that on youtube we conduct a survey and ask you about whether you trust president zelensky, why are we asking this, because a few days ago we asked whether you trust the head of the armed forces, zaluzhny and... there are more 90% said yes , we are interested, just what is the level of trust in zelenskyi among tv viewers of the espresso tv channel, if you are sitting in front of the tv, you can pick up the phone and vote if you trust president zelenskyi 0800 211 381, no 0800-211 -382, all calls to these numbers are free, on youtube is quite simple, you choose either option. or write comments under this

video. next, we have viktor yagun, deputy head of the security service of ukraine in 2014-15, major general of the security service reserve. to ukraine, mr. general, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. good health. in the first part of our program, i tried to retell and talk about how zelensky characterizes the current situation in ukraine and what he was talking about. i want to ask you about security issues and what it actually happens in our country in the field of national security and defense, and well , first of all, forgive me already. i will start with zaluzhny's career, the security service of ukraine is investigating this case regarding the listening device that was installed in one of the premises where the head of the armed forces was supposed to work, i will ask you as a professional, that is, in this situation

, all versions should be considered, that is, internal internal forces, who could... eavesdrop or try to eavesdrop on the party involved and outsiders, i.e. which version do you favor, why did this happen and how often it happens that the supreme commander or the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine has a servant under the table, well , let's be honest, it's not in the supreme commander-in-chief's office, it's in a completely different area. in which he has not been for a long time, and it belongs to his assistants, because what actually happened there, it is difficult to say and orientate now, an investigation is underway, it is necessary to clearly understand that this is indeed an extraordinary situation, starting from the fact that it became

public property and in first of all the media, this is this is what surprised me the most, and ending with the fact that they, well, that she ended up there at all. nothing extraordinary, i won't say what happened there , that is, thank god that it was discovered before someone conducted or tried to conduct something there, that is, we did not have any information leaks, secret, non-secret, none at all, this is the first time, and secondly, why i was still inclined to the version that it was some kind of internal showdown, because it seemed to me that it was... absurd to lay down a device that does not have not the means of power, not the means for him to transmit something to someone, not the means, especially the means of recording, that is, it was actually an imitation of the device, but i would like to hear

the conclusions of the examination, which i hope will be quite professional, because in this criminal proceeding in... the competence of the security service, there is a special institute of expertise, and a special institute of special equipment, which will clearly consider all this and give a conclusion, what it is and where it came from. let's hear, very briefly, what he said about the audition, the attempt wiretapping of the premises where the head of the armed forces of ukraine or his assistants was supposed to work, because he also talked about what he had there. his assistants, we have valery zaluzhny’s synchronism, please give it, that is, it is not your permanent one, but we understand it that way, she was where i work, and one of them has not been there for a long time, and that may

be sorry, but that may to mean that in the general staff itself, that is, there should have been someone who, by heart , has not been working for a long time, huh. uh, how do you consider it, well, how, as war, that is, it is one of the keys to waging war, please, it can to be, the investigation of the bvd, that is, it was the office where you were supposed to go before today, yes, at 7 o'clock in the morning you were supposed to go there, well, you went close, well, after, mr. general, for 30 years of independence, actually for 32 years of independence , i don't remember a single case when the one who eavesdropped, from the one who... was eavesdropped, would answer in court for what he said, or that he did not legally take information from him, and why does this happen in to our state, according to you, it's not true, who, who, if not, then please tell me, i just don't remember, but

i know that there were criminal proceedings, they did not concern high-ranking officials, they were more about the fact that illegal eavesdropping was used by private structures, in particular... pseudo-security detective structures there, and this information was discovered and seized from the equipment and e criminal proceedings were and there was an investigation, and there were verdicts, the confiscation of this and that equipment, that is, this is the competence of the security service, and during this time there were quite a lot of cases, it is clear that we did not hear those loud conclusions of some kind, for example, that i was there i remember, well, we had the loudest one, it has a lot to do with it, but of those, the most are those, surely this is an attempt to listen to her, who is there? er, the head of sap, if i'm not mistaken

, that's the case, you know, probably at some points those who try to try to listen, got out on their own, well , i don't think this is the case that we 're talking about, well and in this case, when there's a war, it's clear that the answer must be, right, that's right, because if this information has already been released, and it became er... became known to the citizens, then citizens will demand some kind of answer, especially since they are now actively using russian propaganda, well, this is clearly not in our interests. thank you, mr. general, now we will have our journalist dmytro didora, who was at the press conference of volodymyr zelenskyi and asked questions to the head of the ukrainian state, dmytro, i congratulate you, tell me about your... impressions from the press conference, because that , what we saw on the screen, well, actually we obviously have some

conclusions of our own, what conclusions did you come to, watching a two-hour marathon with of questions and answers with the participation of zelenskyi and journalists, congratulations serhiy and our viewers, congratulations, the final press conference of the president really lasted two hours, 200 ... the president noted that ukrainians nowadays very often consume news content precisely from telegram, so they decided to invite and such representatives, so that they also share with their... audience what the president said today, and he spoke a lot, for two hours

, about international support, and about internal, ukrainian issues, and about defense, and about zaluzhnyi, and about mobilization, so i will start with mobilization, president zelenskyi says that his military superiors suggested that he mobilize 400,000 to 500,000 people to the front, but zelenskyi for... noted that he needed additional arguments and also said that for these people need an additional three million people who will pay taxes, since it is we, the taxpayers, who pay the salaries of our military, those who are not currently at the front, he said that ukraine will receive international support from several systems patriot and nasams this year says about help. of the usa and the european union , that he is sure that the usa will not betray us, about the eu

he says that there were big bets, they played on big bets and achieved one victory in relation to 50 billion, he is sure that they will achieve such an issue with, with the european union, spoke today about orban, asked him why he does not support ukraine and does not support ukrainian. question, in more detail i want to listen to what the president answered, however, he says that regarding the negotiations between, if orbán did not agree on the negotiations between him and the president of the russian federation , today they also talked about trump, they mentioned him if he becomes the next president of the united states of america, said that president zelensky said that support for ukraine will not change, but trump is a different person. and he can behave in a completely different way, but he is sure that the us support for ukraine will not change and

noted that he has a working relationship with the head of the armed forces of ukraine zaluzhny, and did not comment on the dismissal of the head, there was no such concept of a question, on answer to the question was very vague, we also asked our own question. raised regarding displaced people, people who are currently abroad, who are in ukraine, the president assured that within ukraine, support for internally displaced persons will decrease. won't be, and the president said about the people who went abroad, what exactly did the president answer us , let's hear it, about plural citizenship, i spoke even before the start of a full-scale war, it was in our program, i really think it's normal , i believe that there really are ukrainians

60 million, that's for sure in the world, and not everyone has to live in ukraine, they have a history. have their families, someone was born there in canada, in the united states, but to give them the opportunity to support ukraine, to feel that they are ukrainians, to help, to open businesses here, to pay some taxes, etc., all this definitely goes to the advantage of ukraine, and therefore, it is necessary to think about it for a moment, only a moment, which is important, it is not necessary to overheat this issue, but it is too early. it is also not possible, there are subtle issues in multiple citizenship, i would like people to support us border, especially women, children, heard this so that when they get a job, etc., and find a new life there, so that they are not in a hurry to renounce

the citizenship of our state. this is what the president mentioned about multiple citizenships, and he also said that ukrainians will start returning to ukraine when air defenses are strengthened here and when the support of the european union, the countries of the european union, to our immigrants decreases. the president promised that next year we will produce 1 million drones, we are talking about combat drones drones, and told that the exchange process. prisoners of war with the russian federation is slowed down because of the russian federation, but volodymyr zelenskyi announced a big exchange , he did not mention anything else, because it is necessary , it is necessary to keep quiet about it, the president talked about a lot, i don’t have enough air time to tell everything, so that’s all, what i mentioned and i will pass it on to you serhiy, we already

told dmytro about it on our broadcast, thank you for including it. it was dmytro didora, our correspondent, actually we are in touch general viktor yagun, we will ask him now about this multiple citizenship, which volodymyr zelenskyi said, well, it is obviously about two or three citizenships, i don’t know, it’s difficult for me to say anything yet, well , from what the president said, i as i understand it, we are talking about the fact that the people who will get citizenship, those who went to flee from the war and get it. citizenship, that in principle they will be able to keep their ukrainian citizenship, did i understand correctly, mr. general? well, it is difficult to say something now, because we need to change the constitution to introduce, and it is quite such a time-consuming matter and it is very difficult to carry it out, i just want to remind you that there is the experience of the same israel,

which uses this opportunity and it actively uses its diaspora, we have an equally huge... diaspora and do you remember how under poroshenko and under yushchenko there was a question of how to attract our diaspora, in particular from the states there, from great britain, from canada first of all, probably so that they could, without losing their own, well of his citizenship in those countries, but having ukrainian, to actively work there in the government, in public positions, the situation , for example, in israel, when on the 7-10th, uh, there was a call to return, to defend the homeland, and a lot of citizens of the united states, from other countries, with israeli passports, dual citizenship, came as reservists, fighting, that is, there is, is a positive experience, it must be studied and it is clear what

must be done as fuses for the country of the aggressor, for those countries that are close to us. are hostile, do not allow the use of this, this mechanism for fraud, we have experience with some individuals from the middle east, who actively use this mechanism in order to obtain ukrainian citizenship, that is, there is a need to calculate it all clearly, but i think that there is also something positive in that, mr. general, on the day when volodymyr zelenskyi actually held a large press conference, vladimir putin declared that russia, according to him, is the only guarantor. sovereignty and integrity of ukraine. let's listen to what putin said.

russia was the only guarantor of ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. russia, when the soviet union was created, it simply handed over, along with the population, the vast historical territories of russia. huge potential invested colossal resources. in all this territory, the western lands of ukraine, well, we know everything, how did ukraine get it? after the second world war, stalin gave away part of the polish lands. mr. general, considering what putin says, he always lies and tries to interpret history according to his own. kalami, but judging by what he says, does this mean that he likes ukraine perceived, and continues to perceive, a part of russia, a part of the russian federation, this

means that he is ready for our land and fight with ukrainians to the very end. that's right, for him, ukraine does not exist as a state, including belarus does not exist as a state , armenia, georgia and others, other states that appeared on the territory of the former soviet union, do not exist as... a state. everything that he is now, for example, why he does not want the complete destruction of ukraine, in some way, he wants to control kyiv and put marinetkovy here government, this is also because, like the soviet union, it is beneficial for them to have one more voice in the un, which would... their crazy ideas, now belarus is doing it alone, single-handedly, well , there are a couple of them in addition to their hacks, and here even if ukraine is such a big european state

, it should support all this madness, so they will not be in their plans to make ukraine a puppet state, without access to the seas, but completely controlled by them, that's all , to listen to this delusion, you know, i know . i think that once on the ukrainian-chinese border let's mention all this as an anecdote, but from what putin and shaigu say, this means that they are ready to throw into the crucible of war, well, everything they have, actually their human resources, it is much more than in ukraine and obviously the military resources are now much greater than in ukraine, under what conditions in... ukraine can win victory over russia, under the conditions of unity, political and

other, unity, exceptional unity, what we lacked in 20 years of the 20th century, we did not have support for the event and we did not have it unity in our ranks, and this allowed russian, well, soviet russia to conquer the ukrainian people's republic, that's all. and it is clear that when putin says that we will adhere to our commitments or our plans to conduct a so-called special military operation, to de-nazification and demilitarization, it means that the war in ukraine will continue, and there are no other options than ... the capitulation of ukraine, he will not agree, right? that's right, and how can it be, if they now emphasize that military actions are taking place on the territory of the russian federation, they all this

territory, all the lands that are happening now, a direct clash according to their constitution, this is the territory of the russian federation, why did they include these territories, not only to put their paw on our territory. and to be able to use internal legislation in the territory of military operations, to use conscripts, if god forbid something like this happens, to use tactical nuclear weapons, which in their concept is written to protect their own sovereignty, and they are everywhere they emphasize that we did not attack anyone, our military operations are taking place on the territory of the russian federation, well, formally according to their signs, but we... attacked the russian federation and are trying to seize regions that are included in their constitutionally, in their storage. such an absurdity now, but they live in that

absurdity and they believe in it. therefore, listening to delusions from this person is somehow disrespecting yourself. thank you, mr. general, this was sbu general in reserve viktor yagun, former deputy head of the security service of ukraine. friends, we we work live on the espresso tv channel, we are also on youtube and facebook. for those who are currently watching the broadcast on youtube and facebook, please like this video and subscribe to our channel. pages on these platforms, and take part in our vote, because we are holding a big vote today, since today is zelenskyi’s day, the big day of zelenskyi, and the two-hour annual press conference of the ukrainian head of state ended literally 40 minutes ago, so we ask you the following: or do you trust president zelensky? yes no if you trust then call 08211-381 no 0800-211-382 all calls to...

numbers are free youtube is pretty simple you choose options either yes or no or write your comment under this video , why are we asking about this, because just a few days ago we conducted a survey on the trust of the head of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny, if rating companies and sociological companies can conduct such surveys, well, actually, so can we as a tv channel we can conduct such a survey. oleksandr musienko, director of the center, will be in touch next. of military and legal studies, mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you and thank you for joining our broadcast today. i congratulate you. well, obviously, you watched zelensky's press conference and you have your own impressions. what do you think of today's zelensky and his annual results? well, in principle , it's normal, let's say so. the way the president answers, he answered, the questions were not simple, complex. and

the press conference itself. basically the same, but we heard certain answers, then everyone can form their own impression, i have a completely normal impression of what happened, i heard some explanations, some, maybe i would like to hear more in depth, but understanding that the time of the press conference is limited, obviously understandable reasons for the load on the schedule , etc., so it seems to me that it is quite normal, it just depends, regarding specifically... the questions there can be further evaluated in more depth, but in general , the acute questions are about aid to ukraine, and about hostilities, and about the year 2024, as he can to be, and about mobilization, we heard all this. well, we also heard zelenskyi's answers regarding the attacks or attacks of maryana bezuglai, a deputy from the servant of the people, if we have the synchronization ready, i am now turning to

our... actors, we will now hear what zelenskyi said, because it is very important , during the last two months, we have observed how there were claims from the pro-government force, the force, the servant of the people, forgive me, and what mariana bezugla wrote, those who have facebook, obviously also saw it many times, because it was quoted and paid a lot of attention, in including on different tv channels. let's listen to what volodymyr zelensky said. mr. zaluzhnyi is also my representative, as well as all those whom i appointed or who came with me, someone, i am very grateful to someone, i am ashamed of someone, and as for any e-e comments on facebook, i'm sorry, i don't do that , i don't have time. i

don't have time for daily, daily, and daily , these redundant dialogs are fruitless, and as for maryana, valera, and they have several other people there, it's very difficult, they all love to comment, like on facebook, they very often they communicate there, they have a dialogue. they are from the first days, then they go to the front together, then they quarrel, these are difficult questions, to be honest for me, that is why i told you, it seems to me that we all need to give results to the state every day, and we will have time for a selfie. mr. oleksandr, is this answer enough to say that there are no issues at all between zelenskyi and zaluzhny, well, at least such fundamental ones that would simply hinder their cooperation. or

at least for us to see.
