that was jens stoltenberg speaking aefrlier. earlier.ou can see the live scenes in brussels, where he is continuing to meet other foreign representatives there. the british foreign secretary lord cameron has said he's working to get ukraine and nato into the best possible shape by november, ahead of the us election. speaking to the lucy hockings and vitaly shevchenko for bbc s ukrainecast podcast he also ruled out western boots on the ground in ukraine. what nato�*s looking at is a nato mission for ukraine, not a nato mission for ukraine, not a nato mission in ukraine. it is making sure that we use nato�*s architecture to help deliver some of the support that ukraine needs. but fundamentally i think that we should do everything we can to help ukraine. that has been britain's position. i think it is not escalatory to say we are going to help this independent sovereign country to fight off an aggressor and we will help them to do that. you don't see the prospect of nato boots on the ground in ukraine? ma. boots on the ground in ukraine? no

there is one thing missing in all these discussions offered by stoltenberg, lipavsky and grand shabs.is not clear how the western partners see the defeat of russia, what, what, what will be considered, what they will consider as a defeat. perhaps the articulation of this and that goal would somehow make it easier for them to decide on that, and what actually needs to be done for this? well, you see, a lot depends on the position of the united states of america and on what joe biden's closest advisers advise him to say and not say and how to act in the election campaign. actually, this strategy is about... about controlled escalation, which the united states of america constantly has, as a model for similar actions, when there is no definition of how to act in a specific situation, just gives an excuse for other countries to fluctuate with the party line, as they said before, and here, by the way. the position of the czech republic is more balanced. you will remember that the president of the czech republic, peter pavel, still followed a very simple path, he left. by means of material,

nato does not plan to deploy troops in ukraine, as it is not a party to the conflict - said gensech stoltenberg and named two scenarios for the development of the war, whether there is a scenario of ukraine's victory among them. meanwhile, on the battlefield, the russian army continues to advance in the avdiiv direction. they have advanced in berdychi and are storming towards neighboring semenivka and umanskyi, according to deep state analysts. we will tell you everything we know about the situation there. control gambling and lotteries, block. online casino and restrict military access to it. such a proposal has the deputies of profile committee. how will it work and what are these changes for? if you watch this video on youtube, don't forget, this platform works in such a way that it is thanks to your comments and likes that this video will be seen by even more people. therefore, if you like the freedom of the morning, like, subscribe, ring the bell and write a comment. russian forces advanced in berdychi in the avdiiv direction. are storming towards neighboring semenivka and umanskyi, analys

what else could stoltenberg bring?st be understood that the entire north atlantic alliance is currently preparing for the washington summit, and the strategy of what can be offered to ukraine is being developed. not so long ago, stoltenberg... presented his proposal for a so-called road map for ukraine, that is, a certain set of rules, a certain set of points that ukraine should implement in order to minimize the political aspect of our accession to nato, i.e. to reduce as much as possible the possibility of manipulation of the ukrainian issue, well , let's say, the same orban or poles or slovaks, whoever wants to manipulate this aspect. unfortunately, we also saw that this idea has not received full support so far among the allies, we saw that they are not particularly ready to move in this direction, and therefore one way or another, it seems to me that stoltenberg could come just for that , to agree positions on how ukraine sees the results of washington summit, will it be an invitation, as we hope, but of course we

however, nato listens to stoltenberg.0 billion fund for ukraine for now, for example, here are the statements made by the belgian ministry of foreign affairs. the nato secretary general made a proposal to allocate $100 billion for ukraine over 5 years. we will discuss the extent to which such a proposal can be implemented; there are no plans to make decisions; they are preparing for a summit in july. moreover, a number of nato countries generally doubted the alliance. basically able to raise that kind of money. some allies have questioned how nato can raise $100 billion if the alliance has no leverage to raise money among member countries. it is also unclear whether washington will support such changes. last month , us secretary of defense lloyd austin called the current contact group format very effective. the north atlantic alliance has previously been reluctant to take a more active role in the conflict in ukraine for fear of provoking a broader and harsher military response from russia, which is already sees the confl

serhiy, let's decipher, let's decipher stoltenberg's words.in fact, the nato secretary general says absolutely in the top ten, right? the only thing behind it, yes, well, let's go in order, yes, in order, first, he says about e. a possible rapid offensive, this rapid offensive, which could really happen at the end of may, early june, it depends on the results china's negotiations with the french, with the germans, this is such a situation, but maybe, maybe, but it will not be ready, i am absolutely convinced that the personnel and equipment will be completely empty, or rather, will not be completely ready for implementation. a successful strategic offensive operation, but russia is bluffing, why is it bluffing, because you and i are not mentioning one nuance about which stoltenberg is silent, and the politico publication said about it yesterday, well today we read that it is about the internal ukrainian crisis, it is about putin's use of the political crisis in the united states, everything is clear about the united states , we will not commen

speaking during a ministerial meeting, jens stoltenberg said the allies had already started to plan a, training, and security assistance to kyiv. mr stoltenberg proposes a 100 billion euro — that's $107 billion — five year aid fund. that's $107 billion — five—year aid fund. his proposal has drawn a mixed response among allied members. under the plans, nato would take over the coordination of some military aid from a us—led coalition, a move designed partly to guard against a potential return to the white house of donald trump, who is a critic of nato. mr stoltenberg was asked by the bbc if the us had got its priorities wrong by arming israel, while failing to pass funding for ukraine in congress. every day of delay in the decision of the united states on providing more support to ukraine has consequences on the battlefield. that's one of the reasons why the ukrainians now have to ration ammunition. it is urgent that the united states make a decision and the us congress actually is able to turn the majority in the us public, but also in the us congress, into a concrete decision. our de

serhiy, let's decipher stoltenberg's words.in fact, the nato secretary general says absolutely in ten, yes? the only thing is behind it, yes, well, let's go in order, yes, in order, first, he says about a possible quick offensive, this quick offensive, which can really take place at the end of may, at the beginning of che. it depends on the results of china's negotiations with the french, with the germans, that's the situation, but maybe, but it won't be ready. i am absolutely convinced that the personnel and equipment will be completely inadequate, or rather, will not be fully prepared for a successful strategic offensive operation, but russia is bluffing, why is it bluffing, because... we we are not mentioning one nuance that stoltenberg is silent about, the politiko publication said about it yesterday, well today we read it, it is about the internal ukrainian crisis, it is about putin's use of the political crisis in the united states, everything is clear about the united states, we will not comment here , because there they

mrjens stoltenberg proposes a 100 billion euro, that's a $107 billion, five—year aid fund.would take over the plans, nato would take over the co—ordination of some military aid from the us coalition. a move designed partly to guide begins against a potential return to the white house of donald trump, who is a critic of nato. mrjens stoltenberg was asked by the bbc if the us had got its priorities wrong by arming israel while failing to pass funding for ukraine in congress. every day of delay in the decision of the united states on providing more support to ukraine has consequences on the battlefield. that's one of the reasons why the ukrainians now have to ration ammunition. it is urgent that the united states make a decision and the us congress actually is able to turn the majority in the us public, but also in the us congress, into a concrete decision. our defence correspondent jonathan beale who was at the nato meeting has more. jens stoltenberg, the head of nato, said ukraine wasn't running out of courage, but it was running out of ammunition, and once again he appealed

jens stoltenberg said by the end of this year the majority will. more than 20 countries.t still leaves 10 that won't have reached that 2% goal. i think that is what david cameron was pressing for when he arrived today. clearly the focus has been here on that support for ukraine, which lord cameron was mentioning, and plans that have been put forward byjens stoltenberg to have a long—term footing for continuing that support. some people are saying a trump—proof plan, should he become president again in the us after the elections. that would allow a fund of about $100 billion, euros, for the next five years, to help ukraine get the ammunition, the weapons it needs. but also possibly to take over the us—led co—ordination efforts, what people call ram stein, the contact group of countries providing weapons to nato to become internationalised. not everybody is on board with that, but the hope from jens stoltenberg is by the time of the summit when the heads of government meet in washington, that they will have agreed something concrete. thank ou. later we will be speaking to f

so let's watch nato secretary general jens stoltenberg's opening speech. the practical needs of ukraine in order to understand where we need to strengthen. we agreed on specific measures within the framework of the package, within the framework of the road map of ukraine on the way to joining the alliance. today we will work together to strengthen ukraine's efforts on the way to nato. this is very important for the security of ukraine and it is very important for us. security, so we 're looking forward to hearing from you today, mr. minister, kulebo, thank you to all the participants, and we'll continue, and we'll continue our meeting in a minute. glory to ukraine, this is the verdict program. my name is serhiy rudenko, i greet everyone and wish everyone good health. for the next two hours, we will talk about ukraine, the world, the war, and our victory. today in the program. long-term support, $100 billion from nato over 5 years. which road? the map will be offered to ukraine by the alliance at the washington summit. air threat. russia bombards kharkiv wi

en stoltenberg will treat his guests on the occasion of the diamond jubilee, but as the media writes.ween discussions of political and economic issues, for example, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine was also invited, but if nato is ready to share a piece of chocolate cake, then some promises? at the moment, we are not ready to give any guarantees about the country’s early accession to nato ; nato secretary general jens stoltenberg said this when answering a corresponding question the day before. it’s funny that precisely at the moment when the europeans finally believed in the need for the importance of nato, the threat comes from the united states, politico writes today, the shadow of donald trump, literally loomed over the council of the head of meeting, which is taking place in brussels for 2 days, in his speech on anniversary, today is en stoltenberg. will just talk about that he does not believe in the concept of america in itself, he will recall that article 5 of the nato collective charter on collective defense was not applied only once, when the new york twins were at

and british prime minister rishisuna kigensek nato jen stoltenberg will arrive tomorrow on a working visit to the republic of poland, the polish leader said. according to him, together they plan to discuss the national security of poland and cooperation between the countries, and will also discuss the issue of providing air defense systems for ukraine. i'm talking about the patriot air defense systems because we've been investigating the number of them in europe to see who can put them up to ukraine. germany offered its systems, but of course there are others. types of weapons that could help ukraine defend its skies. so poland will actively promote this issue. a monument to the late queen elizabeth ii and her dogs was erected for the first time in great britain. the opening ceremony took place in the city of oken. in particular, about 50 corgi dogs took part in it. it was a favorite breed of the late monarch. the four-legged furry ones walked in solemn procession in front of the sculpture once. with their masters, corgis or not corgis, and dogs, and people, and other living creature

let's listen to general secretary jens stoltenberg.urope needs america's help, fair burden sharing is essential, and europe is investing more, much more. this year, most nato member countries will invest at least 2% of their gdp in defense. at the same time, north america also needs europe. european members of the alliance provide world-class armed forces extensive intelligence network and unique diplomatic leverage, multiplying power. thanks to nato, the us has more friends. i don't believe only in america. just as i do not believe in europe alone. i believe in america and europe together in nato. because together we are stronger and safer. well, we in ukraine also do not believe in america. we in ukraine also do not believe in europe, neither together nor individually. we simply thank them for the weapons and for the money we receive from them. and we really want this about... to continue further and possibly there was even more, by the way, about money from the united states of america. the bill on the allocation of additional fundi

stoltenberg listed the achievements of the alliance, which in the name of democracy they left behindublic collected 800,000 units worldwide. 20 countries chipped in to buy it. germany gave 180 million euros, latvia took 10 million. but there is still not enough money, complains czech foreign minister lepavsky. lepavsky said that prague has already received funds from the allies for the purchase of the first batch of 300,000 ammunition, and the allocation of funds for another half a million is under negotiation. it was previously stated that the purchased ammunition may be delivered to ukraine in the summer, but we need to fight against the russians now. us secretary of state blinken has prepared motivational speeches with promises that will most likely not be fulfilled. he won't. ukraine will become a member of nato. the goal of our future summit is to help build a bridge to membership. the imaginary bridge turns out to be so long that it goes beyond the horizon of any planning, obviously ending somewhere after the end of hostilities, which should not end. war until the last ukrainia

stoltenberg also noted that choosing between assistance to ukraine.s from denmark and the netherlands, but ukraine needs even more. it is for this reason that nato members face a question. helping ukraine or building your own capacity, my answer is simple: send more aid to ukraine. today, in a burst from the secretary general, i spoke with nato secretary general jens stoltenberg. the agenda is about allyship, about the power of joint action, about how we can together, truly together, give more protection to all our cities and communities. a meeting of the ukraine-nato council will take place, at which he insisted vladimir zelensky, and there are also two main questions, air defense shells, will there be specific solutions, and most importantly, delivery dates? there will be decisions, undoubtedly, ukraine should not hear words, but specifically get that mathematically verified volume that will allow us to completely cover the entire space, we need about 20-25. assistance will be long and persistent, this is what we are striving for now, to ensure the

by the way, stoltenberg’s initiative to create a $100 billion aid fund for ukraine failed.gary immediately stated that it was not ready to contribute to such a denis fund. always american generals, now they want more powers for themselves, this is the idea of ​​the still acting nato secretary general stoltenberg to create a fund assistance to ukraine in the amount of 100 billion euros, as evidenced by this, in fact, the eu countries will give this money, and the nato leadership will manage it. it is not a structure that earns money, that collects taxes. well, to summarize, it turns out that nato’s political line aimed at inflicting strategic defeat on russia on the battlefield has reached a dead end. the defeat actually failed, and the sanctions did not work. that's for sure. well, the colossal resources allocated to ukraine in the form of weapons money were spent without any visible result. there is now confusion among nato members. won't you tell me to start? but even this does not change the alliance’s hostile attitude towards russia. as a bloc, but threatens peace and s

viktor, one thing is missing, that scholz, and stoltenberg, and others, well, stoltenberg, the secretarynato, but well, that other leaders of western countries talked about the fact that we want putin to lose and the russian federation to lose, but there are no such calls or statements.

jen stoltenberg said before meeting of nato ministers in brussels.elcome 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, so we need to change the dynamics of our support. we must provide reliable and predictable care. country in the field of security for the long term, so that we rely less on voluntary contributions and more on nato commitments, less short-term proposals and more multi-year obligations as far as i understand, mr. volodymyr, there should be a consensus decision regarding this aid package of 100 billion for 5 years, because literally, after stoltenberg's statement, a statement was made. peter said that hungary will not take part in nato's activities to coordinate military supplies to ukraine. in this situation, can hungary play the same role that it tries to play in the european union, when questions arise about our advancement in this community? well, here, mr. sergey, there are two aspects, the first

let's listen to stoltenberg.arding the improvement of air defense systems for ukraine, i want to say that it will happen soon. germany also decided to provide additional systems to ukraine. ukraine will soon receive additional patriot systems. our allies, who, unfortunately, do not have available systems, they can provide ukraine with financial, financial assistance. we are also working to increase production. production just right. what happened, i remember the year 2022, when including my children painted to cry, close the ukrainian sky from. rockets. two years have passed, and only now, somewhere out there, they want to get some additional systems and, accordingly, missiles for them. i have, of course, some guesses as to why this is happening, because it is obvious that we are really at such a turning point in the war. at the turning point. stage from all points of view, in a turning point from the political point of view, because first of all we began to hear about the victory of ukraine, about the fact that

well, roman petrovich, let's start with the visit of nato secretary general jens stoltenberg to kyiv,oday there was an unannounced visit of the secretary general of the north atlantic alliance. he invited zelenskyi to the summit of the alliance in washington, but expressed doubt that ukraine will receive an invitation to join... this organization, let's listen to what stoltenberg said, i really believe that ukraine has a rightful place in nato, and we will do everything to ensure that ukraine will become a member of this alliance. in order for this decision to be made, we need all the members of the alliance to agree with it, we need a consensus, not a majority, but for all 32 members of the alliance to agree. "i don't expect that we will be able to reach such an agreement at the summit in july, but i think we will be able to demonstrate that we are getting closer." ukraine to membership, and that this day will come as soon as possible, when ukraine will become a full member of our alliance. roman petrovych, i understand that stoltenberg came to inform zelensky that ukraine is not rec

ukraine will receive more patriot systems, stoltenberg promised. let's talk about the situation at the front, and also tell about a 98-year-old woman who left ochereteny on foot. and let's start this issue with us. consequences of the shelling of odessa, this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, thank you for being with us. five dead, 32 wounded. these are the results of the missile attack on odesa, as of this morning, according to oleg kiper, the head of the odesa regional military administration. in addition, earlier in the evening, he reported that a man also died of a stroke caused by this attack. there are 23 wounded in hospitals, eight of them are in serious condition, in particular, a four-year-old child is in extremely serious condition, a dog was also a victim of the attack. the russian military attacked odesa at approximately 1:70 p.m. the day before , damaging civilian infrastructure, including the so-called harry potter castle, owned by serhii kivalov, president of the odesa law academy and former people's deputy from the par

let's listen to what jens stoltenberg said. before the meeting of nato ministers in brussels. i welcome that the allies continue to make large arms shipments. supplies and equipment, but ukraine has urgent needs, any delay in providing support has consequences on the battlefield, so 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 are less relied on voluntary contributions and more on nato commitments, less short-term proposals and more multi-year commitments. as far as i understand, mr. volodymyr, there should be a consensus decision regarding this aid package of 100 billion for 5 years, because, literally, after stoltenberg's statement, peter sijarto's statement was made that hungary will not participate in nato's activities to coordinate military supplies to ukraine. can hungary in this situation play the same role that... it tries to play in the european union when there are questions about our promotion in this community? well, here, mr. serhiy, two aspects, the first is th

sergey, well, roman petrovich, let's start with the visit of nato secretary general jens stoltenbergcause today was an unannounced visit of the general secretary of the north atlantic alliance, he invited zelensky to the summit of the alliance in washington, but expressed doubts that ukraine would receive there a request to join this organization, let's listen to what stoltenberg said, i really believe that ukraine has a rightful place in nato , and we will do everything to ensure that ukraine becomes a member of this alliance. in order for this decision to be made, we need all members of the alliance to agree to it, we need a consensus, not a majority, but that all... two the members of the alliance agreed, i do not expect that we will be able to reach such an agreement at the summit in july, but i think that we will be able to demonstrate that we are bringing ukraine closer to membership, and that the day will come as soon as possible when ukraine will become a full member of our alliance . roman petrovich, i understand that stoltenberg came to inform. about the fact that ukraine d

it is not too late for ukraine's victory - said stoltenberg.ut for this it is necessary that all the promised weapons quickly reach the ukrainian military. so now our responsibility is to make sure that these announcements turn into real deliveries, physical deliveries of weapons and ammunition as soon as possible. this logistical work, the practical implementation of the delivery of weapons and ammunition to ukraine is headed by a general christopher cavoli. the commander-in-chief is responsible for these efforts, i am in regular contact with him, and he is aware of the urgency of the matter. on importance. us secretary of state anthony blinken, who is currently in saudi arabia, also emphasized united support for ukraine. he said putin had failed in his ambitions to invade ukraine, but added that efforts must continue. he also once again warned china against helping russia. blinkin explained that while beijing does not supply russia with weapons like iran or north korea, china provides a lot of support to russia's industrial base, which helps

stoltenberg meanwhile, he admitted that the nato allies did not fulfill what they promised. by the way, in one of the latest reviews of the american institute for the study of war, it was said that in the coming weeks, while ukraine... waits for the arrival of american aid to the front, the russian troops will probably achieve significant tactical successes, something has begun to arrive, i will not go into details , which specifically, unfortunately, is not yet all in order to fill our army and staff the appropriate number of brigades. the russian army is now trying to use in our favor the situation when we expect supplies from partners, primarily from spol. states of america, which is why efficiency in supply literally means stabilization of the front. 155-caliber artillery, long-range weapons and air defenses, primarily the patriot systems, are what the partners have and what should now be working here in ukraine to defeat russian terrorist ambitions. the russian army is preparing for further offensive actions, and together we must thwart the russian offensive. partners h

viktor, one thing is missing: that both scholz and stoltenberg and others, well, stoltenberg, the secretaryf nato, but for other leaders of the western countries to say that we want putin to lose and for russia to lose federation, but there are no such appeals and no such statements, why? well, i really hope that during the voting there , in some documents, in some projects , it is from the forces to the fact that russia should to lose, and this means that politically, politically, this message can be strengthened, i apologize for the tautology, during this forum, the so-called peace forum, which is being held. switzerland is going to hold in june, and there is a small, let 's say, hope that just such a framing of the issue will force many leaders of the european union, in the first place, who are still in a position where they are vacillating between how to settle the situation and , how to get involved in... aid to ukraine can change, but in this case there is a small one, i repeat there is little hope that the world is starting to reconsider this, this, this thesis, that is, when we were

we are expecting, you can see yun stoltenberg there, to address the foreign ministers very shortly, andn that happens, we will take you back to brussels for that moment. israel is under increasing international pressure after seven aid workers including three uk citizens were killed in an israeli air strike on gaza. president biden has said he is "outraged and heartbroken" by the deaths. the uk foreign secretary david cameron said it's a "dreadful" event and he paid tribute to those killed, caling them "brave humanitarian workers". world central kitchen released these pictures of the seven aid workers killed when a convoy carrying staff from the charity was hit on monday. three british men, john chapman, james henderson and james kirby, were among them. they were working as security advisers. israel said the strike was "unintended" and promised to investigate. the family ofjames kirby, one of the three british nationals killed in the strike, have released a statement. they said they were heartbroken and that... there have been calls for britain to stop selling arms to israel following t

stoltenberg listed the achievement. alliance, who, in the name of democracy, left behind the ruins ofes. a long list, at the end of which is ukraine. supporting ukraine is not charity, it is an investment in the countries’ own security. nato has found meaning in the confrontation with moscow, this is how the western press is commenting on the anniversary of the alliance today. it turns out that 30 years before that, its existence was generally meaningless. but now there is a non-trivial task. break ukraine into russia. kiev emissary kuleba arrived in brussels without a gift. the kyiv regime is a gift to the west in itself. i don't want to ruin the birthday party, but my main message today will be patriots. what ukraine needs most now is air defense systems and 155 nato caliber ammunition. the czech republic has collected 8,000 units worldwide. 20 countries chipped in to buy it. the united states does not intend to do so on its own. washington extracted a promise from macron not to complain to nato if the russians start killing the french in batches in ukraine. this is entirely an init

stoltenberg, the defense minister of great britain, says that the world is in pre-war times, and how ramzan kadyrov is fighting poverty, that is , he admits that there is poverty in russia, there is poverty in chechnya, and in this way he betrays putin. about this and other things in a moment in the rubric world about ukraine. well, i'll start with this. in general , nato member countries positively evaluated the proposal to create a fund in the amount of 100 billions of euros to pay for arms supplies to ukraine. this was announced by the minister of foreign affairs of latvia krishi than karinj after arriving at the meeting of the heads of the foreign policy departments of the member countries of the alliance in brussels. this is how he commented on the initiative of general secretary jens stoltenberg to create such a fund for payment. first the production of weapons, then delivery, and this fund will operate for 5 years, according to the head of the latvian foreign policy department, the details of this plan will still be finalized, but the general trend of approval is positive. wel

jens stoltenberg, comrade general secretary or glass agent?eir tutti, today on the first. to the centenary of danatos baniones. however, i hear that we will have a guest, he caught the character, he immediately captures the character, it is impossible to play some large-scale person when you, as if the scale of your personality, is not... to sleep in the place is the cross of st. andrew the first-called, he founded a fortification and named it st. petersburg, we will drive the swedes out of here, fall, charge, mr. sergeant, the swede is walking with his fist, and we are stretched out in a line, he’ll tear it up, viciously, take it, we are peter’s guard, we can’t you can’t run, get up, otherwise you will be killed, fuck you, i envy peter. that he has such guards, closer to the tsar, you need to stand around him, now there are new people, daddy, breathe, even the air here is special, country dancing, it seems that the sovereign has a new favorite, the cathedral is from april 29 on the first. sage. alive, svetka, i can’t believe my eyes, stay wit

said nato secretary general, let's listen to jens stoltenberg in direct speech. nato allies welcome this decision, because it is very important that ukraine receives the necessary military support. and the aid package from the us will help it shoot down russian missiles, defend itself along the front line, and also deliver deep strikes on russian military potential, so this is very important. and this decision also demonstrates a duality. this is a really important decision and it was interesting to watch on facebook, how are friends reacting, my friends, after all, you must have been watching the same way, when this vote took place in the house of representatives on saturday night sometime after 8:00 pm and when it took place and when the vote was taken, what was being done in advance on facebook? because it is important for us, and tomorrow there will be a meeting of the senate, this is the upper house of the american congress, where this decision already passed by the house of representatives is to be ratified, and immediately, as far as i have read, it goes t

that was jens stoltenberg.joining. but he also urged the allies to ensure they spend enough on defence. the most important thing we can do to make sure this alliance continues to grow and continues to strengthen is to ensure that we all spend over 2% of our gdp on defence. many more countries are now doing that, but we need every country to do that. frankly, that's the best thing we can do to make sure the nato summit in washington this summer is a success and it's also the best way to prepare for the american elections in the autumn, whatever their outcome may be. let's speak to patrick bury, former nato analyst and defence expert at the university of bath. thank you very much for being with us. so nato looking at ways to trump prove itself, as some of the commentators have been saying, to create perhaps this long—term fund for ukraine so that it is notjust temporary fix every few months —— trump—proof. is that going to work, in terms of helping ukraine? find in terms of helping ukraine? and evenin: , in terms

we understand that stoltenberg is, so to speak, a minister without a portfolio, that is , the secretaryral of nato, unfortunately, he has much less authority than the head of certain sovereign governments or financial institutions institutions, yes, but he can coordinate, well , if there is an idea, it is at least something, but the key story is where else to get 100 billion euros in order to fill this fund, how long do you think, in the end, mr. maxim, they would did you do that? there for six months, a year there, i don't know, or maybe the money would have been ready, you would have pulled out, you know, a suitcase of euros or bucks, so to speak, and formed at least half of the required amount. actually, this is exactly what i was referring to, that nato is not just some separate, played-out organism, it is an alliance countries and here we return to france again. they are now frantically looking for the 3 billion euros that they have already... this fund, because if we are talking about the fact that stoltenberg is proposing this initiative precisely to prevent such incidents as wit

they woke up the russian, without even realizing that ultimately, again, the same stoltenbergs will have to answer, but in in this case, i draw attention to the fact that he essentially set the task for the north atlantic alliance to destroy russia's military potential, well, yes, with the hands of the ukrainians, let the ukrainians themselves understand, yes, that they are being used in this way and in general they are consumables, nothing more, but forgive me, that is, nato... sets itself the task of destroying the russian army, even with part of its combat potential, and they declared war on us, and thus, stoltenberg can now do whatever he wants , he is still general secretary of nato, he is still a boy on his way out, so he is trying to gain a foothold, kirby shouts to him, where are you going, it’s too early to sit, sit, the herring is back in the jar, i think we are in this regard, starting from these words of the main , is still nato. have to say, well then our task, still with the wrong hands, is to destroy the combat potential and living military force of nato countries in any p

also on that screen is nato secretary-general jens stoltenberg.e will be stepping down at the end of this year. we go to calls on nato. first to jim in muskegon, wisconsin. good morning. caller: i think we need to focus -- [no audio] host: we will go to darrell in caldwell, idaho. good morning, darrell. caller: good morning. i honestly think there's a big problem with human beings. you know, russia wanted to join nato when bill clinton was the president, and bill clinton said he would look into it and came back and said no. obviously, he said no because there's no reason to have a military structure like we have got now pouring tons of money. here we are, a nation that is now in gaza using our bombs. and they are just regular bombs. killing all kinds of people. we have a war going on in ukraine. we are not there and everybody is proud of that. yet thousands of ukrainians are dead. the russians are losing their men too and russia is a nuclear power. for some reason or another, there's a scripture. revelation 12:9, satan has deceived the whole world

statement by es stoltenberg, when in... they decided whether there would be aid or not, that nato couldentire burden of aid to ukraine, and not the ramshtei format, which the americans immediately denied, we are the leaders here, but let's not push , and this only meant that the role of europe and the european members of nato, which in principle are the mouthpieces of macron, but also donald tusk, is growing . and to some extent jens stoltenberg, they stated that there is, there may be a situation in the future where the european members of nato are responsible for all assistance to ukraine, which is not may not be gratifying in the context of what we have seen for six months in america, yes, but in any case we understand that ensuring our defense is not only about money, it is anti-missile defense systems, it is the systems of the patriots, and we understand that. .. what is happening now, that is, the russians have shown their criminal tactics, that is, on the example of kharkov, the same, that is, to completely de-energize the city and then try to turn it, well, into a wasteland, one

another european leader who is ready to bless his citizens for a war in another country - stoltenberg was also asked. ukraine can no longer wait for air defense, why is it still waiting? when will ukraine receive patriot missiles? nato has offered assistance to ukraine; there is a need to offer more ammunition systems. member states are thinking about how they can help. in general, there are no funds. which means there is nothing to justify the alliance’s unformulated goal in ukraine. bye journalists demanded at least some specifics from stoltenberg, the nato newcomer, alexander stup, turned on finnish humor. now a question from jana pumilaine. perfect pronunciation, rehearsed in the elevator. the question was that somehow there were too many conflicts with direct participation. peace can never be taken for granted, and dangers are everywhere. for finland, which has just joined the alliance but has already transferred 2 billion euros worth of weapons to kiev, such uncertainty of the secretary general is dangerous. stoop hinted that he was not the pessimist in this room. pessimist alwa

stoltenberg’s proposal to create a $100 billion aid fund for ukraine failed. continuation, hungary immediately stated that it was not ready to contribute to such a fund, and several other nato countries did not take the initiative supported. even kiev doesn’t believe in the idea; foreign minister dmitry kuleby said that ukraine has virtually no chance of receiving $100 billion from nato if the current funding model is maintained. for nato. the problem recently has been to justify the meaning of its existence, to justify the meaning of financial expenses, the commander of nato troops in europe is always american generals, so now they want more powers for themselves, here is the idea of ​​the still acting nato secretary general stoltenberg, to create a relief fund ukraine is worth 100 billion euros, this is evidenced by the actual country. the eu will give this money, and the nato leadership will manage it. it is not a structure that earns money that taxes collect. thus, it is quite obvious that nato’s political line aimed at inflicting strategic defeat on russi

which is why we have seen this proposal come from stoltenberg. it talks about $100 billion for ukraine over five years. it's not clear whether allies will back that, but there is a lot of questions for ministers about the viability of that plan, and where the money will come from. but in general, allies want to figure out a way to make this a more sustainable, in light of a lot of uncertainty in the political sphere with elections coming up in the u.s. and a possible return by donald trump. lizzy: because perhaps that could undo this proposal. even if it goes through. how united are allies about that? but also, the challenges they face in general, as we are at the 75th anniversary. >> as i mentioned, they are facing internal challenges with some doubts among allies about the commitments by the u.s. to european security. not just because of the trump threat but for a oil now, the u.s. has been focusing more towards asia and china. so european allies are realizing they will have to support more in a more significant way than they ever have. so you

let's listen to what stoltenberg said.ally believe... that ukraine has a rightful place in nato, and we will do everything to ensure that ukraine becomes a member of this alliance. in order for this decision to be made, we need all members of the alliance to agree to it, we need a consensus, not a majority, but all 32 members the alliance agreed. i do not expect that we will be able to reach such an agreement at the summit in july, but i think that we ... will be able to demonstrate that we are bringing ukraine closer to membership, and that the day will come as soon as possible when ukraine becomes a full member of our alliance. roman petrovych, i understand that stoltenberg came to inform zelensky that ukraine does not receive an invitation to the north atlantic alliance. today they talked about what ukraine will receive in the next five years. 100 billion dollars of aid, is it? an adequate answer in the current situation, is this enough, or does ukraine still need to insist on the status of a special partner of nato, va

stoltenberg clearly divided, nato soldiers do not die, american soldiers, because this is the second, that is , when we talk about nato, then we must understand that... and this is first of all about money, it is not about humanity , this is not about women, not about children, not about anything at all, this has nothing to do with this, so the enemy must always be there, in 2015, when the question arose , from europe, by the way, that perhaps nato itself exhausted, that's how an organization that wears a defensive character, and it may be necessary to reconsider it, because if you look at the points that are required of any country to join nato, there are two very interesting points. one point is that a country that aspires to join nato must open its budget to show its economy, and another point is when this country abandons its regular army, that is, its army no longer exists, it uses the services of a good guys called nato, who seems to provide her with protection, but at the same time he it does not provide protection, it ensures that this country ceases to be independent, it bec

earlier i spoke with stoltenberg from nato headquarters in brussels.ed him what effect the aid will have on the war. >> the u.s. decision we saw on saturday is big and it will be important. and it will make a difference on the ground and are absolutely confident that the u.s. will be able to get, support to, to the battlefield, to the frontlines, and then, of course, the delay quickly. has had a, consequence, because the ukrainians have been totally outgunned. and we have seen also how the, russian missiles, drones have been able to hit the more and more, ukrainian targets because, the ukraine's had too little air defee. if you look at the numbers, canada and european allies, they are non-us allies. since the start of the war they have provided roughly half of the total military support, which is substantial. if you add economic support to ukraine and humanitarian support and the aquatic -- economic cost of hosting millions of ukraine refugees, the reality is that european allies are paying a much higher economic price for the war in ukraine's than the

stoltenberg's unannounced visit, the nato secretary general came to kyiv and already met with the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky. they discussed the situation on the front line and supplies. ukraine will receive without delay. the supplies are there, they left, little by little. need speed up this process. i think we will get this supply. thank god that after the convening of our council, we received answers that... there will be no pauses in the process, regarding additional systems, patriot, we are working, here so far there are no such powerful specifics that we expect from partners. putin's plan failed. the russians failed to erase ukraine from the world map - said us secretary of state anthony blinken during his visit to saudi arabia. according to the diplomat, russia's attack on ukraine cannot go unpunished. because other potential aggressors the world will be able to repeat this scenario. blinken also noted that the coalition helped the ukrainians repel aggression and will continue to do so constantly. a 37-year-old man was injured and a 60-year-old man died as a result of
