in the course of this program, friends, we are conducting a survey and asking you whether ukraine will receive an invitation to join nato in 2024 . answers, actually two: yes, no, or, if you have an option, please write in youtube in the comments, if you watch us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote if you think ukraine can get an invitation to join nato in 2024, 08021381, no, 0800-211-382, all calls to these the numbers are free, vote, and we have our first contact... volodymyr hrysko, diplomat, ex-minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, head of the russian research center. mr. volodymyr, i

congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. greetings , health, thank you for the invitation. sir volodymyr, let's start our conversation with the washington nato summit, the anniversary one, which will take place in just three months, on july 9-11, it will be the 75th anniversary summit and the united states secretary of state. during his visit to paris, he stated the need to create a road map for ukraine's accession to nato, on the eve of this summit. let's hear what mr. blinken said. as the allies in vilnius declared, ukraine will be a member of nato. the question is having a good and clear road map to reach this conclusion. and i believe that the nato summit before his... the 35th anniversary is really going to be very specifically focused on how we can create

that road map, or to put it another way, the necessary bridge that will allow ukraine to become a member of nato. mr. volodymyr, what kind of bridge, as blinken put it, can it be between the alliance and ukraine? well, you know, mr. serhiy, it is already a little different. this is from the, well, in principle, not very, not very pro-ukrainian position, which the united states of america took during the previous vilnius summit, because actually they and germany blocked the very idea, the invitation of ukraine before the start of negotiations, this may be some kind of, well, half a step forward, that is, it is obvious that there will be no invitation. that's why i think that the question that you asked our dear

tv viewers, of course, can already be answered in the negative, unfortunately, why is this happening, well, that's another question, it lies in the plane of the fact that the united the states of america are still... still afraid of the so-called defeat of russia, so they are afraid of escalation, they are afraid of using nuclear weapons against ukraine and more are more afraid of the need to respond to the next blatant crimes of moscow, it is easier for them not to respond, and that is why they take such a wait-and-see position, perhaps somehow, unfortunately. won't get wet, it's just a continuation of suffering for ukrainians, for the ukrainian

people, well, it's not their own people, it's someone else's people, regarding what can happen at the summit in this context, it seems to me, something like that happened in our relations with the european union, when , you know, we were given in portions maybe... well but at first there was no immediate invitation to negotiations, but before that, well, there was something like that. the first step to the invitation, for some reason it seems to me that this first step to the invitation to negotiations will be taken at the washington summit, in what form it will be, well, for now, western colleagues, diplomats, experts are working on it, most likely he will be such a half step, well, you know,

after all, it's more... than nothing, so let's look and move ultimately the next half step to a formal invitation, the same can be expected in the near future, but for this we need a really very clear and clear position of our western partners on this issue, about which you and i, mr. serhiu, are talking, we must stop being afraid that russia... should lose in this war, the aggressor must be punished for his own, or rather for his terrible crimes, and so long as the states think that somehow it is possible to get away from this, from this issue

somewhere and hide from it, oh well then we will have such half steps. that's right, i understand, until our western partners clearly articulate that putin's russia as it exists threatens the world and should not exist, and until russia goes through the stages of denazification, demilitarization and denuclearization, well, peace there won't be any on planet earth because there is a dangerous country called russia. i... to your three de's, with which i absolutely and completely agree, adding a fourth d, which is de integration, that's when the world will really experience relief, because if in the place of this monster, the earthlings,

well, call it what you want, this formation will arise... the theory of peace, social development, mutually beneficial trade, cooperation and so on, then the world will really turn upside down to a certain extent, but it will turn over in the positive sense of the word, because it will disappear in fact, the key element of this axis of evil, china in this case is not such a terrible nuclear threat as ... the russian federation is today, with china in the end, given its deep incorporation into the world economy , it will be possible to negotiate, it is completely different history, and this hateful savage fascist regime that we have today in moscow, it really must be destroyed, otherwise we will constantly live in anticipation of another

barbarism from this savage horde. nato secretary general jen stoltenberg proposes to create a fund for the union of mr. serhiu , the sound is gone. you hear me, mr. volodymyr, now yes, yes, thank you. so. nato secretary general jen stoltenberg proposes to create a fund of allied contributions for ukraine worth $100 billion over five years as part of a package to be signed by the leaders member countries of the alliance at the summit in washington. let's listen to what jens stoltenberg said before the meeting of ministers. nato countries in brussels. i welcome the fact that the allies continue to make large deliveries of arms, ammunition and equipment. but ukraine has urgent needs. any delay in providing support has consequences on the battlefield. therefore, we need to change the dynamics of our support. we must

provide reliable and predictable security assistance to ukraine for the long term. so that we rely less on voluntary contributions and more on nato commitments, fewer short-term proposals and more multi-year commitments. as far as i understand, mr. volodymyr, there must be a consensus decision regarding this aid package of 100 billion for 5 years, because literally after stoltenberg's statement , peter szijjártó's statement was made that hungary will not participate. in nato's activities for the coordination of military supplies to ukraine, can hungary play the same role in this situation as it is trying to play in the european one. union when questions arise regarding our promotion in this community? well , here, mr. sergey, two aspects, the first, the one that stotenberg is talking about, and this is

again, a continuation of the same idea that we talked about, sorry, the west still understands that it is not possible to play anymore, that russia is a threat to all of them, that... that in order to avoid this threat, it is necessary to help ukraine, and to do it immediately, to do it precisely within the framework of the alliance, not only under the roof of ramstein, so to speak, although this is a great initiative, but it should be structured, a better structure than nato in this plan does not exist, and this is a big, big positive, and i think it is also a confirmation of ours and yours... theses that, after all , certain positive, psychological changes are taking place in the west. this, by the way, is also a clear

signal, well, to trump and his supporters, that if he thinks that he will manage nato the way he wants, then it is unlikely that it will be so, and the europeans will definitely be able to , help you are in ukraine, maybe not on such a scale, but besides that, in relation to hungary, there is no need to go to vorozhka here either, if they can, i have mind you, this government of orbán and all his henchmen, they will do all possible things that would hinder us, but you see, the situation... is that we can do without hungary, and if it will be a nato format

minus hungary, then frankly speaking, we will not suffer from this at all, and i think that such a moment will be key in solving this issue. mr. volodymyr, another interesting piece of information appeared in the publication. the street journal writes that macron held confidential talks with biden and scholz to convince them to change their strategy regarding russia, and first of all, regarding military issues, and, as the publication writes, this idea is fundamentally different from the position that the administration of president biden has followed since the beginning of the war, avoiding actions that could lead to an escalation of the conflict. no sources named. referred to by the woll street journal also say that scholz and biden take roughly the same position, they do not want to risk that the allies in

nato are not divided into two parts, and one part could become not, so that one part does not become a party to the conflict. macron says that there will be no need to involve nato or the united states of america if russia... targets french troops and sets an example like french troops were in africa and uh, then france didn't ask for help from the allies, it looks like that france would still dare to send a small contingent or military advisers or in some other capacity on the territory of the ukrainian state, what macron was talking about, could this push other countries to act more s... bolder with regard to the russians and their actions in ukraine than we have seen so far? well, you see, mr. sergey, this is a confirmation, another confirmation of our conclusions with you

that these two countries are still afraid of this escalation in quotes, because in reality there is no escalation, but there is an absolutely fair answer, an answer that should. .. to punish the aggressor, well, i’m not even here mentioning the statements of american officials that we should not bomb russia and so on, all this does not withstand any criticism at all, this is, i think, can be called cynicism of the highest kind , but you know, after all, there are already positive moments, like i was told today, i didn't hear personally, but i was told that ms. the us ambassador. in ukraine , at one public meeting, he used the formula of russia's defeat. perhaps this is the first swallow

that will bring us ... a wild and pleasant spring, as to whether france should coordinate all her actions with the other allies or any other allies to do the same? and definitely not. well, in this case, we can forget about nato for a moment and remember the united nations, this completely incompetent organization, if to talk about it too... but here we can talk about its members and about the charter of this structure, that is, without any nato, but only referring to the charter of the un, each country, according to the 51st article of this charter, has the right to self-defense and has the right to turn to any other member country of this organization for help, that's all, as they say in a fairy tale,

that is, in... the ukrainian authorities, if of course, they will decide on this, because so far we only hear conversations about the fact that we do not need any foreign troops on our territories and so on so, if our ukrainian authorities make such a decision, to turn to france or belgium or italy or any other country, a member of the un, not a member of nato, but a member of the un, and ask for help, then the un in this case... he feels calm, continues to be afraid, as he is afraid even now, and all this is done on a bilateral basis between the country that suffers from aggression, that is , ukraine, and those countries that want to help and repel this aggression. this is such a simple, banal, calm logic, and then, all the more, there is no need to go to someone consultations, to ask for any consents,

agreements and so on. everything is simple, if, mr. volodymyr, with taurus and atakams, you can still somehow understand the logic of scholz and biden, then it is not at all clear why our western partners do not give us a sufficient number of the patriot system, because today dmytro kuleba, while in brussels at a meeting, heads of foreign affairs of nato member countries, during this two-day meeting. , he stated that international partners do not provide a sufficient number of air defense systems, despite the fact that they have more than 100 of these in their arsenals systems, the patriot system tells us, maybe they could absolutely give the pim of these systems, if everything is clear with long-range missiles, and why is the west delaying air defense, are they still also afraid that this will lead

to... an escalation that the ukrainians will drive these patriots to the border with russia, they will start shooting down planes, bombers, and fighter jets, with which they bomb kharkiv and kharkiv oblast. well, mr. sergey, here i will allow myself to disagree a little with you, not everything is clear with long-range, long-range missiles, that is, it is also a defense, in fact, if we destroy points on the territory. of the russian federation, from where civilian objects of ukraine are fired upon, and, by the way, not only civilian objects. what difference does it make to us whether they shoot at civilian objects or at our armed forces, we did not attack them. this is, again, another fairy tale invented by some of our western partners, who say that it turns out that it is possible to shoot at the ukrainian military, on what basis, we, the country that

attacked russia, or what? why do they have the right to kill our military, but this is a rhetorical question, it is a question for our great theoreticians who sit in some western scientific and analytical centers and suck some completely absurd ideas out of their fingers, well, that’s the way it is, so i believe that ukraine’s acquisition of this long-range system and taurus and atacons and so on, it's not really about attacking. it's about defense, it's about defense and about preventing the bombing of ukrainian cities, villages, military facilities, whatever, by the aggressor country, so to call it attacks, well, i don't have the language returns, just as there are no attacks, destruction by the ukrainian defense forces, and those same...
