of the president of ukraine andriy yarmak and the minister of foreign affairs of hungary petr sijart took place. they discussed important topics, which are being prepared for a meeting between the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi and the prime minister of ukraine viktor orban. what was in fact, it is important that this contact was made, and let's hope that hungary, just like ukraine, will not have any negativity from its side, and again, we are moving towards the positive, because the positive for the entire european community is the appeasement of the enemy and victory over the enemy , which is the russian federation, again , together for all of europe, well, actually more about events outside ukraine, my colleague yuriy fizar will speak, he is already in touch with us, yuriy, good evening, please . word, good evening to you, vasyl, good evening to everyone who joined our broadcast, today there is a lot of interesting news, i will tell you, in particular, about the following: josep borel calls for intensifying the provision of military and financial aid to ukraine, olaf scholz says that this

aid should be collective, in particular from europe, but in slovakia is in unison with the seam, sorry, with hungary they say that they don't need this help at all. it must be stopped, because it only prolongs the war, about this and other things in a moment in the column world about ukraine. well, let me start with this: nato together with its allies should continue to help ukraine in its just defense against russia, at some point it would also be good to invite us, i.e. ukraine, to... the north atlantic alliance. nato secretary general jens stoltenberg said this in an interview with the american tv channel fox news, moreover, he also appealed to american lawmakers with a request to unblock aid to ukraine, warning that

china and other authoritarian states are closely monitoring the course of the russian war and will receive encouragement if the president of russia vladimir putin will succeed. in ukraine, and at the same time the nato secretary general added, his very short quote: the united states of america, the european union and other parts of the world will become more vulnerable if putin gets. has what he wants in ukraine. and let me say two words about ukraine's invitation to nato. perhaps i really want this invitation to go out at the nato summit in washington this july, i really hope it will, so that this invitation is extremely important for us, but perhaps even more important it will be as a message. by putin so let's wait. the world cannot return to those times when the stronger

could change the borders of other weaker states at their own discretion. instead , maximum efforts should be made to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of any country in the world. the head of european diplomacy, josep, said this today during a speech at the european union central asia investment forum in brussels. according to him, for to protect this principle, the european union introduced a whole series of sanctions against russia, and she, they weakened its military machine in vain, however, and this is already bad, adds the main european diplomat, russia is still fighting in ukraine, the intensity of the fighting is increasing, light, according to josep borel in the end of the russian tunnel is not in sight, but at the same time he called on european partners. continue to put pressure on russia and the kremlin with sanctions, but

do so in close cooperation between all eu member states. that is, the emphasis is on the fact that it should be cooperation. if you are a member of the european union, then please, together with others, do what everyone else does, not like some countries. well, europe should continue to help ukraine and even. to increase the amount of financial and military assistance, the contribution to the victory of ukraine, at the same time, should be collective. german chancellor olaf scholz said this during a speech at the conference of the country's social democratic party in berlin. according to him, other european states should provide more aid to ukraine, because germany itself cannot blame everything on its own. shoulders, according to the chancellor. in the russian war in ukraine, his short quote follows: the decisive moment has come, and peace may be

much closer than everyone thinks, this is the end of his quote, but at the same time , the bundeschancellor emphasized that germany in 2024 allocated more than 7 billion euros, or more than half of all aid received from the member states of the european union. well, i would talk about how much help is needed and how it is provided to us now about other countries that are very skeptical about providing this help so, if hungary blocks the allocation of 50 billion multi-year aid to ukraine from the european union, the eu is preparing to put pressure on the hungarian economy in response. this was reported by journalists of the financial times, who had already seen the preparations. document with the so-called plan b. in it, official brussels outlined a strategy

aimed at clearly identifying hungary's economic weaknesses, putting its currency, the sebtoforte, at risk. well, in this way, the european union wants to cause a collapse of investors' confidence, trying to harm it jobs and economic growth if budapest refuses to lift its veto on aid to kyiv. well, of course, if prime minister orbán does not agree, then other eu leaders must publicly promise to permanently stop any funding of budapest from the european union. well, already today there have been a lot of comments, both from brussels and hungary, regarding this information, some say it's just a throw-in, some say no, it's the right thing to do, but it's a bonus. viktor orban, prime minister of hungary, already today said that he has some compromise

option for ukraine, that is, he will agree to remove the veto on giving us 50 billion euros, but there must be something in the compromise, which is not yet known, maybe they talked about it today in uzhhorod, i don’t know, but hungary will not give in to blackmail either, that's what they called all these appeals coming from bruse. and the country's minister for european union affairs, janos boka, wrote about it on facebook, this is how he commented on this publication from the finance newspaper. times and then its short quote: if the information confirms what the hungarian government has been saying for a long time, then brussels is using access to eu funds to exert political pressure. well, political pressure is not bad if you stubbornly refuse to do some good deed. well, we're moving on. if viktor orbán

does not cancel his veto on the allocation of aid in... the country, then in the european union, as i said, alternative options for continuation are being prepared, but not only i said this, but also ajalyabib, the minister for general affairs of the eu in brussels, minister of foreign affairs belgium's ajelyabi, while she emphasized that currently the main goal is to achieve the conclusion of an agreement with an opening proposal. next, a short quote from the minister. i believe that the most important thing is to reach an agreement between the 27 eu member states. we will work on it, it is our priority. we will consider an alternative, but that will be after the february 1 summit. now the goal is to reach an agreement. well, february 1 is just around the corner, literally, in

two days the leaders of the countries of the european union will gather in order to convince, or maybe on... and put pressure on viktor orbán, i'll see what happens, i'll follow it very carefully, you will of course be the first to know about it. the russian war in ukraine has no military solution, the deputy prime minister and minister of defense robert kaliniak said on the air of the national television of slovakia. according to him, the event should stop giving weapons to ukraine, because, according to him, the time has come to hold it. peace negotiations according to the head of the department, organizational efforts the leaders of both the european union and the united states of america should hold peace talks. according to him, the military conflict has entered the frozen stage, and in this situation it is necessary to start acting in order to reach a truce as soon as possible. next, a quote from mr. robert.

regardless of how the conflict ends, ukraine will always have borders with russia, it will not relocate. well, we need efforts to achieve peace most of all. i completely agree with mr. kalynyak that we will not relocate, and russia, unfortunately, well at least in the near future it will still be near our borders, but if we are not strong, then russia will constantly threaten us, and if we sit down at the negotiating table in weakness, what is the point of these negotiations? the norwegian army is preparing for a threat from the outside. of russia on the norwegian border, said the commander-in-chief of the country's armed forces, eirik kristoffersen, in an interview with the german publication redaccion worked deutchland. according to him, russia has not increased the number of its tanks, because most of them have already been sent to ukraine, but at the same time he suggested that moscow will start modernizing its equipment and rebuilding

the army as soon as hostilities in ukraine cease. next is a quote from mr. norwegian. today, i would say that it will probably take russia three years to replace the lost forces and rebuild the army. we must prepare for such a possible scenario and be prepared for emergencies. the norwegian general and german defense minister boris pistorius shares the opinion. according to him, berlin should also be ready for any development. scripts and to any situation, in particular before an attack from russia, he said in an interview with the bilt newspaper. at the same time , the head of the german defense ministry emphasized that he does not see the threat of an attack now, but added that everything can change if russia has the opportunity to strengthen its military potential. boris pistorius emphasized

that, in any case, the bundeswehr is also obliged to increase its power, as well. make maximum efforts to replenish their own military stocks, of which there are many weapons and ammunition, says boris pistorius, recently went to strengthen the armed forces of ukraine. sweden cannot pass a law that would prohibit the placement of nuclear weapons on its territory. defense minister paul jonst said this on the air of the svt neter tv channel. however , he added that none of sweden's allies had made requests to deploy nuclear weapons in the kingdom. further quote: neither the usa, nor great britain, nor france... had any expectations regarding the placement of nuclear weapons on the territories of the new allies, this is how he commented on the statement of the member parties of the defense environmentalist emma bergingen, who

said that if after sweden becomes a member of nato and this type of weapon appears on its territory, it will become a legitimate target of russia, and the law banning this type of weapon is not needed at all. needed, minister jonson reassured her and said that the main thing is to be a member of nato. this is protection. another provocation, which in north korea was called a huge achievement of its own army and a successful test. the army of the most closed country in the world launched cruise missiles from a submarine. about this was reported by the central telegraph agency of the dprk, and more. it is also known that he supervised the training himself. the sunny marshal was satisfied, at least they say in the agency, it is also known that the missiles flew for two hours over the sea of ​​japan and accurately hit the

target on some island. at the same time, kimchenin once again emphasized that he needs such weapons not for attack, but for defense against aggression. he tells his serfs to scrounge to somehow survive, well, he himself continues to live. as a king, the investigators of the dossier journalistic center posted on the network video and photos of another dacha of putin, which no one knew about until now, it is located in the north in the forests of karelia and on the shore of maryalakhti bay, lake ladovsky, about 30 km from the border with finland and nato. currently , there are three mansions in a modern style on the territory of the base. according to the documents, they are called the fisherman's hut, storeroom and garden. house, there is also a water bath, a trout farm, a farm with cows for the production of marble beef, two helipads, piers for yachts, and

the waterfall, opposite which a personal gazebo is installed, the waterfall, by the way, is four meters high, in one word it can be summed up like this, i wonder how you live there, it's good that i live well. and finally , the visit of another red south to russia , this time to chelyabinsk, far away in the urals. there today, local residents could see a whole series of strange flashes in the suburbs of this settlement. later it turned out that this is not the northern lights at all, although it is somewhat similar to it. a fire at one of the electrical substations is banal. as a result, several villages near chelyabinsk will be without electricity. for at least the entire night of today, what was the cause of the fire, the local emnsniki did not inform, as in the end they did not inform about the fact of

the fire itself. in fact, i wonder what happened? well, that's all i have in the world about ukraine section, that's all for today, tomorrow there will be more and we will have more in the next broadcast, so don't switch. thank you very much to yuri fizr for the information from outside the borders of our country, and now i have a story for you. wives of fallen soldiers are prohibited from using the reproductive cells of their husbands, which they have frozen in the cryobank at the expense of the state. similar headlines rocked the web. our journalists decided to look into this issue. they talked with people's deputies and doctors. more details in our material. the council limited military personnel in their rights to parenthood. people's deputies introduced changes to the legislation, according to which from

march 23 this year, medical institutions will be obliged to dispose of reproductive cells of soldiers who died at the front. in september 2022, a group of deputies took up the development of a bill to preserve the rights of war participants to biological. and storage of reproductive cells, but there was no provision for their destruction in the event of the death of a military member in the draft until the second reading. unfortunately, the general bill on reproductive health, which applies to both civilians and all citizens of ukraine, was not adopted in... the verkhovna rada, which is why this conflict arose. subsequently, in november 2023, the council adopted the relevant law. a scandal on this topic broke out in social networks after the post.

of the lawyer olena babych, who said that she noticed a discriminatory rule in the law when she consulted the widow of a ukrainian soldier. the couple dreamed of children and therefore blood-canned sperm before the husband had to go to the front. unfortunately, the soldier died. i'm sorry, but i still can't understand the reasons behind this ban. why does the state, instead of offering a legal option, force a widow. find workarounds to have one a desired child from a beloved husband who died defending this very state. reproductive medicine doctor stefan khmil says that he and his colleagues were waiting for this law, but the way it was changed in the second reading is unprecedented and unfair. she can take donor sperm, a paradox, but not her husband. this is abnormal. moreover, for.

according to the doctor, now 10% of men who were injured in the war have damaged genitals, so cryopreservation of reproductive cells is often the only possibility of procreation. these loads, which are at the forefront, nutrition, toxic effects , and stress, and so on, and so on, have a negative effect on spermatogenesis, as well as on the production of cells in women, and each sperm... carries a huge amount of genetic information, thousands of genes are embedded, it will be damaged. the law on fertility was adopted and signed by the president on march 23, and from that time clinics will be obliged to dispose of the sperm and eggs of fallen servicemen. we prescribed an exercise that was to be included in another law, and to correct this situation by the month of march. we all

knew about it, we all understood that it had to be done. that's all, but to see, there was already such negativity in social networks that we had to speed up this process, and today all my colleagues are already signing a new draft law that equalizes this situation, the head of the committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on the health of the nation mykhailo radutskyi explained, that this law concerned servicemen who, as a result of an injury, lost the opportunity to have children, but the document did not take into account the issue of... defenders, as this contradicts article 248 of the civil code of ukraine, which provides termination of the power of attorney after the death of the principal. as people's deputy iryna gerashchenko wrote, a new draft law from european solidarity has already been registered in the council, which should remove waste disposal by deadlines and create legislative grounds for the preservation of reproductive cells, as well as

regulatory by-laws. the most relevant topics of the week: russia's war against ukraine, the war in the middle east, the crisis on the border between ukraine and poland. topics that resonate in our society. drone attack on... kyiv and other cities of ukraine, drone attacks on moscow and other russian cities. analysis of the processes that change the country and each of us. the country should get the right to start negotiations on joining the eu. vitaly portnikov and guests of the project: we are bored because there is nothing to fight about. let's make it up. they help to understand the present and predict the future. for the world, a second trump presidency will be terrifying. a project for those who care and think.
