friends, we are working live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are currently watching us live there please subscribe to our pages, take part in our survey, today we ask you the following: do you support the activities of a public broadcaster independent of the government? yes, no, please write your option in the comments under this video. if you watch us on tv, we have phone lines that you can call and... and express your opinion, if you support activities independent of the russian authorities, let's hear what

the president of ukraine said? in my personal opinion, we will be in nato only when we will win, i do not think that during the war we will be taken into nato, for some it is a risk of nato members. for some, some people are simply skeptical because of this, the question of nato is a question, as the secretary general rightly said, it is a question of the majority, and the majority is a political question, and in order for political ukraine to be accepted into the alliance, victory is needed for this. so, mr. valentin, as far as i understand, ukraine has nothing to expect from the july anniversary nato summit, or the format. ukraine may receive this invitation, but this invitation will be delayed in time before our victory in the war with

russia. i would immediately clarify a very important issue, that in fact ukraine's membership in nato and the main engine and locomotive of our membership are the armed forces of ukraine. time. second, every step that we are now taking together with nato member countries, at ramstein, at joint exercises abroad in the countries. our military specialists, the best, by the way, and in other matters of cooperation, up to cooperation, intelligence, were and are being trained in nato , all this is the gradual integration of ukraine into nato, into the north atlantic alliance. i i say this as a specialist, and that's why i want to remove this a little bit, you know, maybe someone was disappointed, or i warn you not to despair, because in fact other countries also joined nato in this way, they are brought step by step. its military standards, weapons, intelligence and counterintelligence in accordance with nato standards. this is exactly

what the armed forces of ukraine do only really during the war. and one more very important thing, well, how about integration into nato is the training of each combat unit, logistics centers that are currently working on the territory of which countries nato members, our neighbors, poland and other countries, and work for what, to supply rhythmic and complete everything. of what international partners allocate and will allocate, the anniversary nato was preparing for the july summit of this year, with the aim of bringing already from ukraine, and i think at the highest level... , as those units that learned and were trained in nato member countries, and can and will become the basis of our integration into nato. i think that specifically, military, not political, it is through military steps that we will gain

nato membership. and, by the way, one more argument, mr. sergey, during the war they told us, i work with... actually in the committee on integration with the european union, the secretary, everyone told us, well, what kind of integration in the eu is it now it is impossible, look, there is bombing and so on, and we worked as a whole committee day and night, both under bombing and under sirens with european partners, and think about it, in two years and two months, ukraine received the status of a candidate for entry into the european union has implemented the association agreement, and already this year, already this summer , we will start negotiations on full-scale... membership in the european union, this is an unheard-of pace and unheard-of results for other countries, so it is the same with nato, the only specifics, i emphasize this and repeat, the engine and locomotive of our integration are the armed forces of ukraine. but considering the current condition in which the armed forces of ukraine are now, they

are absolutely created and are being created now according to nato standards, and even separate battalions for a long time the same azov battalion or regiment has been around for a long time now, they were created according to nato standards and according to all these models that exist in other armies of the world. so, if you take the current, current condition of the armed forces of ukraine, their capabilities, we can be a big part of this great community, where most armies did not have such experience, i wanted to say fortunately. because maybe there was no such experience, and we could teach many there, including? indeed, combat potential, combat experience, and most importantly, what do you call the combat condition of the armed forces of ukraine, of our units, it is clear that it is an order of magnitude higher than in other countries, including nato member countries. what we lack, let's be more specific, including

in order to become a full member of nato, combat aviation in the sky, additional air defense systems, satellites. and other communication protected by nato standards, and the most important thing is that it should be with every fighter, in a helmet, you know, a helmet that protects the life of our defender, but even there you need communication and a lot of other information that is on the battlefield makes it possible to fight effectively according to nato standards, and all this should be received by each of our defenders, each unit, that is what we are working on, but i emphasize once again who we work with, we work precisely with countries, members of... nato, that is, in essence, as a candidate country for joining nato, as well as with the european union, only in peaceful areas. i emphasize that this is the most important thing, and for military specialists, for our general staff, well, it's not a secret either, they already work with nato advisers, and directly with the commanders of the armed forces of nato member countries, and with the commander, by the way,

precisely of the combined forces of the north atlantic alliance, these are already such, you know, not strings, these are already such... binding processes that do not just attract and involve us, ukraine and our armed forces, but gradually make them part of nato , part of the defense potential of the united europe. special assistant to the president of the united states of america, thomas wright, says that ukraine will not be accepted into nato either now or in the next few years. let's hear what thomas wright said. this is definitely a difficult aspect, as ukraine is currently in a state of flux great war we can take steps that will improve its defenses and security here and now, and over the next few years, so that when that moment comes, when it joins, it will be in a stronger position. mr. valentin, nevertheless,

let's go back to the july nato summit, whether the north atlantic alliance can provide clarifications. the first signal to putin that ukraine will be in nato, and perhaps, perhaps, this entry, although delayed in time, will depend on this signal and the actions of moscow, and the actions of the whole world will depend, and it should be so and there will be a signal, remember my words at the anniversary summit in washington, it will be. 5 years of nato, but it won't just be a signal, we are up to it, we are currently working with our nato partners, in any case, i am one of those deputies of the verkhovna rada who works in this direction. we are working to make sure that not just the signal was sounded in july, but that all the achievements that, thanks to the armed forces of ukraine and our defenders, ukraine already has with nato, with every

member country of 32 countries, even the last to join, the swedes and sweden, well, we are with swedish literally a week ago, the delegation met both the government delegation and the analytical centers that serve their defense and security sector. every country is a member of nato, it is already ours. partner, and in the military sphere, before that finland became the 31st member of nato, with finland, remember, there was a president, just a month ago, there was a chairman of the verkhovna rada, i participated in these negotiations with the highest leadership of finland, they also 23 packages of defense aid according to nato standards was transferred, correctly to ukraine, to the armed forces of ukraine. sergey, that's why i'm emphasizing so that our tv viewers, dear ones, understand that this is what integration into nato is all about. because to replace parquet summits, champagne and everything else, this, by the way, is not integration into nato, integration into nato is combat capability, weapons and

armed forces, we also have armed forces, then combat capability and weapons we really need more, and we are working on this both within ramshtein and at the bilateral level, and the key partners for us remain nato member countries. mr. valentin, yesterday kharkiv was... hit by a ballistic missile of north korean production, and there is already evidence of this from those authorized to monitor sanctions against north korea at the un, and they confirmed that kharkov was hit by missiles of north korean production, which is a direct violation of the sanctions of the security council, that is who and at what the way should be sanctioned... well , the state, because north korea is already a sanctioned state, in what way can they be brought to their senses, apart from the sanctions that are already in place, that is, what should the world do

about north korea, well, it should be an example for both iran and china. there are so many examples, mr. serhiy, how much the position of china is still needed, which should also join and really fulfill all the international sanctions imposed on north korea, first of all. introduce and control that no military or other equipment is delivered to north korea by sea, as well as by rail, which north korea really uses in making these crippled missiles, but unfortunately they kill people, and even more unfortunately, russia , terrorist country, takes it in north korea and directs it into a terrorist attack on the heads of the people of kharkiv, odesa and in fact throughout our country, i think that... it is china and its position, but now we are waiting for very important negotiations and the visit of the leader of china xi jinping to france and other european countries, for

china to join these sanctions, in my opinion, it will stop, at least limit russia's ability to supply components for north korea to make these terrorist missiles of its own, again for waging war against russia us and the murders of our... peaceful citizens, mr. valentine, you already mentioned this visit, the planned visit of szydenpin to france, there will also be an anniversary meeting, or the anniversary date of 60 years of diplomatic relations between china and france, the day before president macron said that he is ready to discuss the possibility of involving french nuclear weapons to create a system of defense of europe against russia, and probably sidzin pinyem is exactly what they are talking about. they will talk about it, because china actively participates in all negotiations related to nuclear weapons, china is a nuclear power. what does macron say? he

says in an interview with mediagroup ebra: "i am in favor of opening this debate, which should include anti-missile defense, means of long-range fire, nuclear weapons for those who have them, or who have american nuclear weapons on their territory. let's put everything on the table and see what really protects us in a reliable way, while macron reminded that the french military doctrine provides that france can use nuclear weapons if it is vital important interests are at stake. what, mr. valentine, does this statement by macron mean? macron is constantly now trying to stay ahead of all european leaders and demonstrate his ability to lead europe forward. what does this statement mean for nuclear weapons to build a system. protection of europe from russia? this means that the french president is really now in a strong position, firstly, secondly, france is a nuclear power, thirdly,

france is one of... the biggest economic and military powers of both the european union and nato. and now, what is actually at a high level with french colleagues, i talked about what they really want to discuss behind closed doors during the visit of xi jinping, the leader of china to paris. first and foremost, putin has already got everyone, as well as his henchmen with their nuclear weapons. well, the whole world , including china, warned: do not transfer nuclear weapons to belarus. what did russia and the kremlin do? transferred nuclear missiles, well, the truth is under their control, but nevertheless , russian nuclear weapons spread to the territory of belarus, that is why behind closed doors the president of france will clearly say to the leader of china that look, you influence, you call the country of the aggressor and its leadership a partner, friend, but they and he simply transfer nuclear weapons and, and to whom, to the belarusian regime, and for what, who threatens?

no country is threatening, on the contrary, belarus is a co-aggressor against ukraine, against us. so france and the french leadership are going to hold the line very hard and indeed, they are conducting negotiations and have already held negotiations with germany. after, i think, the visits of the chinese leader, there will be negotiations with by the united states of america in order to enter a collective, anti-missile and anti-nuclear barrage for all member countries of the european union. france can add a nuclear triad here. the triad is submarines, airborne, french air force and land-based missiles. so far , this is exactly what the leader of france, the leader of germany and other european countries are talking about, and it is precisely these plans that president macron spoke about when he said that it is necessary to set the table and look at all this. thank you, mr. valentin, for you
