promoted the scandalous law, will also be banned from traveling to the country. such restrictions will be provided by the new draft law, which will soon be presented in the us congress. and just now the minister of defense of the united states of america, lloyd austin, with his opening speech at the virtual meeting of the contact group on issues of ob. of ukraine, as well as defense ministers and senior military officials from almost 50 countries of the world. they are discussing military aid to ukraine. let's watch live. of ukraine. we know that the armed forces of ukraine will work hard in the coming months to recapture the buffer zones along the border. we know what bravery ukrainian fighters are showing now and what training they have. and therefore... thanks to what these

meetings provide, it is difficult to overestimate them. 50 from, 50 countries that... support ukraine today, and we will continue so that ukraine gets what it needs. the united states of america stands firmly with ukraine, we are trying to do everything to ensure that ukraine gets what it needs at the right time, but all this can strengthen the situation on the battlefield . we provide ammunition for systems like hymars, we strengthen. popo systems, as well as heavy armored vehicles. we provide regular packages aid after president biden signed $51 billion in aid last year. in addition, we will help develop the next

aid packages for ukraine. ukraine will receive what we promised in the near future. another package for 400 was signed at the beginning of the month, and in order to strengthen the protection and defense of kyiv, new batteries of patriots were issued, we also follow the requirements that ukraine gives us, that new shells for nasams, for hymars, 155 millimeter projectiles, too duty systems, javelins and others. this package also includes armored vehicles so that ukraine can rebuild its arsenal. to the members of the contact group on the defense of ukraine, they will make repeated promises so that ukraine gets what it needs. the new

aid packages amount to 95 billion. the start of a full-scale invasion. russia now has various resources, such as shahedis and drones and korean missiles, and we see what the innocent population of ukraine is going through right now, and that is why it is now the top priority on our the agenda today is precisely air defense systems and shells for these systems, so that ukraine can now urgently close its skies. we work together. for putin's power to fail, we still look strategically for long-term security. we are strengthening our coalition so that ukraine receives uninterrupted, practical

assistance thanks to our mutual coordination. we always look at the needs of ukraine, because by helping ukraine, we are helping. world, so i thank all the leaders, all our colleagues and partners for your efforts, and by that i mean tackling pressing issues, demonstrating leadership, and i really want to hear a briefing today from each leader, each member of this contact group. ladies and gentlemen, in the coming weeks the fight will be you. we must therefore act decisively from our side, because the victory of ukraine is decisive not only for ukrainian security, it is important for european security and global security and in particular american security, if putin succeeds in achieving his goals,

of course, they will be able to in the future encroach on our neighbors, on our allies, and therefore we must stop putin. in order not to fall into even greater chaos, that is why what is happening in ukraine is so important to us now, and today i am more determined than ever to ensure that ukraine really gets what it needs, and now the official , the official briefing is over. well, thank you to the head of the american pentagon, lloyd austin, yes, an extremely meaningful story, and we are picking up the information and analytical baton and... we can say yes, it is extremely important, that the united states supports us in every way, without this support it would be extremely difficult, well , but let's hope that the americans understand what the situation is on the battlefield, and that we also need to intercept what is called the operational initiative, which means that

more difficult equipment and more long-range systems, although we understand that we also have to offer a certain vision to the americans, well, but these are secret matters at the level of not... communications between the supreme commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, syrskyi, between the general staffs and so on. it is necessary to understand how it is possible to turn the tide of the war in order to discourage the russian... intervenors from wanting to expand, this is an extremely serious story, and here we are already reaching the level of the so-called strategic confrontation between the euro-atlantic community and the russian bloc, so distinguished, by the way, by the president iran, well, as far as we understand, these are internal iranian clashes, although, although, although, although, yes, what murto, well , here it is also important to mention the statement of skibitsky, who says that yes, we need help, we must receive from our partners, a sufficient number of weapons in order to be able to enter the negotiation

process in a stronger position. why did i mention the negotiation process, because the statement of the secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine appeared today, it is about oleksandr lytvynenko, and he says that ukraine is aware that the war will end with negotiations, so it has prepared and is promoting the peace formula of president volodymyr zelenskyi . this is actually stated in his address to the participants of the forum of the region baltic seas of nato-24 and arctic europe, which is published by the nsdc. i will directly quote him: ukraine is clearly aware that the war will end with negotiations, and that is why president zelenskyi's peace formula was prepared and is being promoted. our position is very simple and i am convinced that it will be supported by the participants of the peace summit in switzerland in june 24th. this is a real diplomatic track that has every chance of contributing to the achievement of a just peace. litvenenko also added that ukraine needs more than peace for two years, lasting peace for a decade, whatever enabled the development of ukraine. he also

expressed hope that ukraine will receive an invitation to the alliance at this year's washington nato summit. this was his statement. i am here, by the way, i may disagree with him about the statement regarding membership in the alliance, here we must be sober, it seems to me, in the assessments of what may happen at the washington summit, but what about such a stable truce, i mean some security guarantees, some guarantees. security for a decade, i think it is quite possible to implement, therefore ours i will actually support the task, so that our partners will support us in this, by the way, the statement of the secretary of the national security council lytvynenko, it is actually, it is important, it demonstrates our position, so we understand that, of course, at the washington peace summit, a decision would be made regarding ukraine's membership in nato , well, by full consensus, yes, members of the euro-atlantic community, well, first of all , we are talking about the united states, we are talking about... great britain, we are talking about france, well , in general, about the so-called nuclear club, yes,

because ukraine's membership in nato during unprovoked aggression on the part of the russian federation, this is extremely serious, but here he demonstrates that there is a consensus on the part of the ukrainian political elites, so to ensure that in the end we receive this or that piece of paper, although i agree with you in vain, it is unlikely that our overseas allies even to such a decision, because it would mean that they would already be directly forced, yes, because membership in nato, it involves the use of the treaty on collective security. currently, we are conducting negotiations with many countries, and there are already very concrete successes on on those tracks, in particular when we talk about signing security agreements with various continental states, yes, but the key story, of course, is our membership in nato, but the washington summit, which from... well, relatively speaking, unfortunately, it is unlikely to happen soon will it become such, well, a very clear

point, a bold point in ukraine's membership in nato, although, although, although, although, by the way, i will add to lytvynenko's words here, it is important, by the way, you just mentioned about important, important points, and he also mentions the experience of the bucharest summit in 2008, says that we are aware that the accession will not take place tomorrow, but the invitation will cool many hot heads of the russian federation, it will contribute to de-escalation, and will not become a confrontational step, and he clearly proved the experience of this summit in relations with putin's clear determination stabilizes the situation, and its absence provokes russia to take aggressive steps. well, we cannot disagree here, probably, on the other hand, we also understand that the situation in ukraine, in the middle east and in general in the global dimension, they look abroad a little differently than we look at it all, we look at it all from the point of view of our problem, our trouble. which is in our country, but the world, unfortunately, is not so simple, and we understand that world politics is

much more complicated than we would like to believe. yes, and an important message, by the way, from the press center of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. clashes continue near staritsa and vovchansk, and a battle is taking place in the area of ​​sinkivka. yes, i quote: on lymansky, turetsky, goliaipilsky and since the beginning of the war, there have been no clashes in the orichiv direction. the russian aggressor continues to terrorize the civilian population. in chernihiv oblast and sumy oblast , the areas of settlements of novodmytrivka, sopych, popivka, pavlivka, mistki, and yelino were shelled with artillery; two skirmishes continue in the direction of kharkiv. near the village of staritsa and the city of vovchansk, the enemy is repulsed fiercely, information on enemy losses is being clarified, and russian terrorists have carried out an airstrike in the area of ​​liptsi, in the kupinsky direction, there is a battle in the area sinkivki, but the situation is under control, one attempt of the enemy to attack was repulsed.

you can find out more about the general situation on all fronts from the material of our colleagues, so let's watch together. plus 70 km to the active front line, which already amounted to more than 1,200 km. the repeated offensive of the occupiers in the north of the kharkiv region opened a new page in the russian-ukrainian war. after a week of heavy fighting, the situation was stabilized, president volodymyr zelenskyy said. the enemy did not gain a foothold in vovchansk, a city located 4 km from the ukrainian-russian border. in general, the invaders advanced no more than... 10 km. the enemy expanded the zone of active hostilities by almost 70 km. thus, trying to force us to use an additional number of brigades from the reserve. the enemy launched an offensive well ahead of schedule when he noticed the overturning of our troops, but he failed to break through our defenses. however

, we understand that there will be tough battles ahead, and the enemy is preparing for it. oleksandr syrskyi, commander-in-chief. armed forces of ukraine. exactly the stretching of ukrainian reserves may be the main goal of the russians, the ukrainian military leadership suggests. the russian army has an advantage in personnel and seeks to take advantage of this. in particular, withdrawing part of the defense forces from donbas, where heavy fighting has been going on for many months, and kharkiv may not be the only direction. in an interview with the new york times, the head of gur kyrylo budanov said that in the coming days the russians. may launch an offensive on sumy oblast. these words worried many, especially since already in the border communities of the sumy region evacuation began. in order to calm the civilians, budanov had to appear on the air of a national telethon just from the kharkiv region, where fierce battles are ongoing. as for the sumy region, the russians actually planned from the very

beginning, sorry, i have certain inconveniences here, from the very beginning they planned... the same operation in the sumy region, as of now, they are keeping small groups of forces in the border areas in the direction let's say this, they have the city of suja, from our side, it is the sumy direction, but the situation has not allowed them so far start active actions. the ukrainian military command knew about the enemy's plans, intelligence reported about them. in advance, however, it is not enough to understand the enemy's plan, you need to have the resources to counter it, namely reserves and weapons, and if there are big problems with the first, then the situation with weapons has begun to improve, american and so-called czech ammunition seems to be partially at the front. at least volodymyr zelenskyi claims that for the first time in the two years of the war, the armed

forces have enough artillery shells and none of the brigades complains about the shortage of bc. this... is also confirmed by nato officials. the russians do not have the necessary number of troops to make a strategic breakthrough in the kharkiv region. moreover, they do not have the skills and capabilities for this. allies have accelerated the delivery of large shipments of aid to ukraine after the us approved an aid package for the armed forces. they are now sending a huge amount of ammunition, a huge amount of air defense systems to ukraine. range and a significant amount of armored vehicles. the enemy also senses the arrival of long-range weapons. on the night of may 14 to 15, an important from a military point of view, belbek airfield, near occupied sevastopol, was attacked by atakams missiles twice a day. later , satellite images appeared on the network, from which it is possible to draw conclusions about the losses

of the russians, which are at least three military aircraft and warehouses with fuel and bridging materials. significantly thin the ranks of the russians, the armed forces could even before the russian offensive on the kharkiv region, but the usa still forbids ukraine to strike at the enemy on its territory. because of this, the occupiers have a strategic advantage, although not one hundred percent. on the night of may 17 ukrainian drones hit a number of objects both in the occupied crimea and in the new russian tatoo opse. the attack was the largest in recent months. against the background of the intensification of hostilities and mutual strikes , diplomacy also revived. chinese president xi jinping flew to france for talks with emmanuel macron, and then. received vladimir putin in beijing, where the russian dictator praised the chinese peace plan and made it clear that there was no intention to end the war. macron himself is expected to

visit kyiv soon, and this week to ukraine united states secretary of state anthony blinken, who was also in china three weeks ago, came to the capital. what does this series of diplomatic visits mean and are they forcing kyiv to negotiate with moscow, at least publicly. no, in particular, blinkin once again confirmed that sitting down at the transition table depends on ukraine and only on it, and president zelenskyi emphasized that ukraine ties its diplomatic hopes to the global peace summit in switzerland. as for the negotiations, again, these decisions should be made by ukraine, not by ukraine united states or any other country. therefore, if you imagine that if putin showed... "at least some interest in seriously participating in the negotiations, i am sure that the ukrainians would respond to this, but putin demonstrates the exact opposite every day. despite everything, we are preparing a

peace summit, we are preparing a platform for the world majority was able to force russia to make peace. i am grateful to everyone for their desire to restore the full effectiveness of international law, we will continue to act no less actively. all continents, all countries have to be presented at the peace summit. however, is the peace summit really in switzerland will bring the result? the main idea of ​​the meeting was to involve not only the west in the negotiations, but also representatives of the so-called global south. but, as the media reports, the presidents of south africa and brazil have no intention of going to lucerne, switzerland. in particular, brazilian leader lula da silva seems to see no point in negotiations to which russia was not invited. high probability. that the summit will ignore china, which dramatically reduces the chances of diplomatic success. after all, the outcome of this war will probably not be decided by negotiations, on the battlefield, and peace conferences will only

fix it. hard months ahead. american weapons can help stabilize the front line. most likely sometime in july - claims the new york times with reference to anonymous sources in the administration of joseph biden. however , he emphasizes that for a strategic turning point in the situation. on the front line , this is not enough in favor of ukraine, so after a few months the war may eventually end with the so-called korean scenario, i.e., the fixation of the contact line as a new, let's say unrecognized border, however, these are only predictions, of which there were many, many during the two years of the war, and most of which did not come true, the war will probably continue in 2025. gasoline trimmers are so heavy, loud and inconvenient, and you want to have a beautiful, well-groomed area. there is a solution. garden trimmer course from rozpakuy tv, order now at a special price,
