crisis, which everyone is talking about today. yehor cherny is in our studio today. people's deputy of ukraine, deputy chairman of the committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on national security, defense and intelligence, head of the permanent delegation of ukraine in the parliamentary assembly of the council, in the nato parliamentary assembly, deputy chairman of the advisory council on ensuring the rights and freedoms of defenders of ukraine. mr. yehor, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine. congratulations, glory to the heroes. the first topic, which i have already voiced it, it is probably one of the most important today for our country, in principle, for the viability of our country. for the viability of our army and for the ukrainian victory, this is a topic that concerns the actual allocation of funds or the blocking of funds now by the lower, lower house of representatives of the united states of america, the us congress, and today and the previous week,

prominent representatives talked about it extremely often actually the republican party and mike johnson himself is the speaker. actually the lower house of the us congress talked about that maybe from next week this issue will somehow move from a dead point, right? but again, we still can't figure out whether it will be a vote, whether it won't be a vote, what bill will be chosen after all, whether it will actually be a vote for the bill that passed the united states senate, or whether it will be that bill that may be considered. republicans separately regarding the allocation of funds for credit, right? that is, as far as i understand, now there are various options that will be discussed. to us the main thing is that there are still funds. that's your opinion. will have these funds in the coming weeks, will there still be some kind of agreement in the parliament, conditionally speaking, of the united states

of america, will there not be, is it still possible for us to expect that we will not be able to receive these funds again for several months, this a question that concerns today, probably, both the world community and our defenders at the front, it is very important, i am not going to predict when we will receive this help. because i've heard it so many times directly from congressmen and my friends and republicans and democrats that this is going to be voted on, and i've been filled in that it's going to be voted on before the new year, and after the new year, and after that, but from what i see from those messages , which i'm getting from , again, the republicans first, we're... really close to this solution, meaning they're close to the solution, and we're close to the outcome that this solution brings. two weeks ago, i was at an event from

the nato parliamentary assembly, and there i had a conversation with by congressman mike turner, who is the chairman of the house intelligence committee, a republican, that's one of the three mikes who are absolutely clear in supporting us among the republicans. this is the chairman of the foreign affairs committee, mike mccaul, the chairman of the defense committee, michael rogers and mike turner, this is the trio that constantly pushes forward aid for ukraine. what exactly is he saying? he talks about the fact that, ah, a compromise has allegedly been found within the republican party, first of all, and in principle in the middle, in the middle. congress, what will happen anyway a separate bill, not the one that passed the senate, already without a border, so that it would still pass more easily to the house of representatives, and

this is one of the compromises on the part of the republicans, the republicans also insisted that at least the part that is direct financial aid for ukraine, it still became a loan, that is... of the 60 billion, almost 60 billion dollars that are planned to be allocated to ukraine, about 12 billion can be as a loan, and the rest as non-refundable military aid. that's it, that's what's going around now inside congress. as for the timing, again , what he said was after returning from easter vacation. they will have the first internal question, the second question should be about ukraine, and supposedly there is a certain internal agreement within the congress with the democrats

, including that in order to preserve johnson's position, they promised not to vote for his resignation if such a resignation is passed by his colleagues from the republican party from the same. trampizsky of the same wing, so in principle it looks like we really are are close to this decision and that johnson, and it actually depends on him to just bring it to a vote, and that we can really get this decision soon, that is, relatively speaking, sometime in april-may we should come to the to get that help if all goes well as i understand it. i hope so, because we have to understand that in addition to this decision in the parliament , procedures should be carried out regarding the allocation of these funds for filling new packages and already

sending these packages to ukraine. of course, well, let's actually expect that that this issue will really be resolved positively for our country. another very important thing, we are talking now not only about aid from the united states of america. we are also talking about help from our other key allies, that is, the nato bloc in general, and this is very important, for example, for example, nato secretary general stoltenberg, he took the initiative to create such a fund within nato for approximately 100 billion dollars now , yes? to what extent is it generally possible for different states to build, relatively speaking such a fund. created it and yet ukraine could use these funds in the future, it is clear that we will tell the audience that the funds will be not only from the united

states of america. these will be funds , including those of various nato countries, so it is possible and what kind of mechanism will it be in this year, will it be laid something there for the future, for the following years, maybe, is it possible that something will be allocated from these funds, let's say for reconstruction of our country, what is your point of view and how do you see it as an expert in this field? and i think so the proposal was dictated first of all. the fear of nato member countries that the position will change after the elections in the united states, the position will change regarding the general participation of nato in helping ukraine and the participation of the united states in the alliance itself. that is why, in order to somehow secure both himself and ukraine, there was stoltenberg, who absolutely clearly supports it.

from the first days of the full-scale invasion of ukraine and trying to do the best he can in his position, he proposed the following idea, to create such a fund for 100 billion dollars so far, there are more questions than answers, because there is very little information about this idea, ah, it is not new, it has been discussed, like, for example, the idea of ​​nationalization. levels at the legislative level of the member countries of the alliance of expenditures for the aid of the country at the level of 0.25%, this is estonia's proposal and estonia's initiative, well, at the same time, such options were considered the creation of a special fund, but first of all it is the creation of a social fund for 100 billion on 5 years, i.e. 20 billion annually, 20 billion from of all nato member countries, but to be honest, it's

not much. a lot, again, this is including bilateral aid, or separately additional to it, because we have now on a bilateral basis aid from germany, from britain, from others, there are three, there are five, there are 8 billion a year, and in principle, these are quite significant amounts. second, if we are talking about the decision of the alliance. and the decision of the alliance is always made by consensus, and how will hungary behave and how will slovakia behave, for example, will they block these funds and we simply do not can we use them? third, at the level of the alliance, we currently receive only non-combat aid, whether these funds will be directed to the purchase of weapons, and whether, again

, hungary will not be blocked there or some others. countries, so there are still a lot of questions and very few answers, and if it is still considered as an alternative, ah, or not even an alternative, but as an option to fix the obligations of all countries, including the united states , to provide assistance to ukraine through such an instrument, then frankly speaking, i i doubt that if trump decides something... if he decides not to help ukraine, then anyway, no matter what, he will not help even through this fund, simply not providing money there, but thank you that at least they are looking for some answers , are looking for some options to get out of the situation when with the change of governments, with the change of political teams, the position of countries may change not only in the united states, in the 24th year we have a lot of elections in

europe as well. but in order to ensure this, i understand that this is what the funds are trying to create. one more a very important issue of international, or more precisely, bilateral relations of our country, is the issue of president macron. yes, macron is very active today about supporting ukraine, macron is very active about the possible sending of troops to ukraine, and in general, he has become. well , a kind of pioneer in terms of certain initiatives, in particular aid to ukraine, those initiatives that no one ever talked about, which in fact were very often kept silent by other european and american politicians, in your opinion, can it be organized, should we expect, for example, this year or in the coming months or for...
