press by force, this is stated in the final statement of the meeting of the foreign ministers of the g7 countries in the north of germany, in addition, the heads of foreign policy departments of the gs7 member states assured ukraine that they will continue to provide us with weapons to fight against the russian occupier and will not stop putting pressure on the kremlin, both economically and and politically, and all in order for putin to stop the war in ukraine and withdraw all his troops from there. france and japan, the pressure on putin should increase until he withdraws his troops from ukraine and stops the war, british foreign minister listra said in an interview with the express newspaper, according to her, it has already become clear that putin cannot and will not be able to break and conquer ukraine, but the minister emphasized that the west must now

do everything necessary for the victory of ukraine. well, then give kyiv enough weapons so that we can defend ourselves in the future in if one person or one country wants to attack us again for some reason, and at the same time ms. taras once again said that the leaders of western countries do not aim to change the regime in moscow. well, i understand why such statements are constantly heard, but i wish they would also say no. we aim to change this regime, because it is a criminal regime, it is a regime that only sows death in the world, and we want to change it, i hope that we will also come to this, then he did not change his opinion about ukraine , chancellor of germany offsholz said about this after more than in an hour-long conversation with the owner of the bunkers in the urals and altai, in an interview with the german information portal te online, the head of the german government emphasized that in more than two months, moscow has not achieved

any of the stated goals, ukraine has not been conquered, ukrainians defend their land, even if it is taken, russians have more casualties stronger than during the 10- year war in afghanistan well, not only has nato not moved away from russia's borders, on the contrary, brussels is increasing its presence on the eastern flank well, it can come even closer to russia and it can to have a long border with russia well, what i didn't want, i can have, of course, i'm talking about putin. the pentagon asks the united states senate not to delay or block the allocation of financial aid to ukraine in the amount of $40 billion. in words, approval for the allocation of these funds is required by may 19. if it is not there, it can seriously affect the uninterrupted supply of weapons to ukraine, while mr. kirby

added that the american department of defense still has a certain amount of money, but i would like to receive it. i would also like to remind you that a few days ago, a decision to allocate $ 40 billion in aid to ukraine was voted in the house of representatives, then this issue was blocked in the upper house of the american congress in the senate in order to find out some additional questions about in connection with this, the occupiers may ask russia to include the kherson region in the russian federation, probably for this they will use a falsified referendum , british intelligence says this is part of of the russian plan to transfer the regions of ukraine under long-term pro-russian rule, at the same time, intelligence claims that russia is trying to impose its leadership in kherson. well, this indicates their inability to achieve their real political goals in ukraine, and besides, intelligence reports that local residents of the kherson region are most likely to continue resistance to

the russian occupation and then i am sure that this resistance will develop into more than just resistance and then it will develop into such a real war when the kherson people will press the occupiers to crimea will be taken later, of course, and, of course, with the help of all the rest of the ukrainians, protected means armed, the baltic countries have declared to nato that they want to strengthen the alliance on their territories . the threat of aggression is not the same for all countries . the territory of the baltic states, each independent state is responsible for its own security. this is what

is happening and what is being said now. by joining nato, finland is strengthening its security and taking responsibility for it . published on the website of the office of the head of the country, at the same time he emphasized that in the future helsinki will try to practically approach the solution of all issues related to the neighborhood with russia the president also sent putin a request for the organization of corridors for the evacuation of civilians from war zones. sweden and finland do not need to join nato, since russia does not pose any threat to them. can you imagine the thought? today, the deputy minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation, alexander grushko, said, according to

him, the west is simply looking for an enemy and demonizing russia, and all so that after the accession of both countries sweden and finland to the north atlantic alliance and to place even more weapons near the russian border, even though they don't speak there in moscow, and we know very well how the kremlin has constantly assured us that it is not going to attack ukraine . a word that echoes from behind the ledges of the state well, in russian belgorod they were again very afraid because they heard explosions again and saw some specks in the night sky. in the local telegram channels, videos were spread in which loud sounds are heard and bright flashes are visible, the residents of the russian city of stroitel, belgorod region, russians assume that the events are related to the work of air defense or aviation, but the local authorities

have not yet commented on the information, and why should they explain? let them be afraid and respect. well, let's see how they are afraid watch after oh, mommy, god, how scary it is, they still don't know what it is. it's scary, but soon they will find out when the ukrainian game, the army will go further from the kharkiv region, closer to belgorod, then you'll see, well and in conclusion the song ukrainian brothers in ukrainian in the finale of the estonian show, the singer in the crowd, a well-known estonian politician, of course, sang it in order to express his obvious support for ukraine in its fight against the russian occupier. before the entire song was performed, mr. pevkur khan no pevkur said and then his quote is very powerful a song that

struck me so much that i even cried, i dedicate this song to all the defenders of ukraine, those who unfortunately died and those who will continue to defend ukraine and restore it in the future let's listen to how it sounded from the mouth of an estonian politician, we love you, go, my dear, dad, i 'm going to the vine to protect our land, don't cry for me if there's a melon in the field, i'll give everything for our dear ukraine, and really we'll give everything for our ukraine, what's up i have everything in today's section, the world about ukraine, immediately after the broadcast, i start preparing for tomorrow so that tomorrow i can tell you everything the most fresh and

objective, well, our broadcast is the broadcast of the espresso tv channel and the big broadcast continues. unconquered cities ukraine's progressive melitopol is one of the most comfortable cities for living in ukraine, thanks to its good location, the city developed rapidly, but at the same time it suffered from frequent raids by invaders in the second world war, it became the main defensive point of the nazis, there was an order to hold the steel gates to the crimea at all costs , after two years of occupation, the residents rebuilt having turned melitopol into a developed european city, today the people of melitopol are proving to the occupier that they have not only steel gates, but that

melitopol was and remains unconquered the ukrainian city of melitopol undefeated , let's get back to the conversation, i'm adding ihora eisenberg, professor of new york university, mr. ihor. i congratulate you, mr. vasyl. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes . please tell me how much mariupol is present today in the informational and political space of the united states in the space of public opinion. how is mariupol present? what is happening in ukraine, all the events are related to the war, they are constantly present, they are engaged in

, predominantly, predominantly. and in particular, mariupol is mentioned in almost every news release. well, if not in every one, then in almost every one, always, always, mariupol is present . today, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi , met with a group of republican sanatoriums in kyiv talked with them and called to recognize russia as a sponsor of terrorism. well, perhaps we can talk more about this meeting, how important it is, and then we will move on to the story about another republican, through whom, allegedly, in ukraine , the promised 40 billion dollars can not be allocated so quickly.

about the recognition of russia as a sponsor of terrorism to the extent possible and who should do it. the states should do it. some group of countries or some international organizations should do it , please. well, first of all, this is a republican visit. legislators in kyiv, somewhere, it is very important that they came. i am very glad that they came to kyiv, and in spite of the fact that in recent years i have never been a supporter of the republican party or because of trump and that is what is connected with him, but this visit exactly what the leader of the republican faction in the sonata , we started this situation, is very important . i am very grateful to these senators for coming to ukraine, for visiting kyiv today .

we are grateful to these senators that they did it because it is important that there should be a bipartisan large majority in the congress that could pass laws that are important to get ukraine, this is in particular this law that has now been blocked by another republican senator er, regarding the recognition of russia as a sponsor of terrorism. even more sanctions will be introduced, even more restrictions , that is, i am, for example, behind both hands for the united states to recognize all of ukraine as sponsors of terrorism, because america has

legislation according to which this will require the introduction of significant additional sanctions against russia, and who do you think today he can speak out against this recognition. well, on the one hand , everything is obvious, on the other hand, we understand that politics is not always obvious things, sometimes they are things that need to be done, although they are not obvious, so what can stand in the way or who am i i think that can be called, can become well, political and diplomatic factors, because well, it was not yesterday, the day before yesterday, about a week or two ago, when, well , for the first time, it was probably the most articulated . of his briefings, the spokesman of the state department over the price. well

, he said that, yes, russia is committing war crimes, terrible war crimes, and all of that. well, what is it? it should be very, very balanced. this step of recognition by russia of the country as a sponsor terrorism, because the sanctions that will be forced to be imposed by the united states, if they recognize that russia and ukraine are sponsors of terrorism , they can cancel certain diplomatic contacts between the countries. as far as i understand, at least two weeks ago, when even the project told the united states about this, it hoped for an opportunity some kind of diplomatic contacts with russia so as not to close the door to such contacts, this could stand in the way of the recognition of ukraine as a sponsor of tourism by russia, that is, let's talk about it well, not diplomatic. well, maybe

they can be called diplomatic, but now, ah, what does the composition of the us congress mean? well, this is not today's news, but we will discuss it because it is. the usa did not agree on the fast-track adoption of the bill on providing ukraine with $40 billion in aid, the procedure was blocked by republican rand paul. he demands that a clause be added to the bill on the audit of expenditures by the federal inspectorate. i don't understand why here in general, the problem is, well, it’s normal, in my opinion, for someone to control how this money is spent. although, on the other hand, we understand that in times of war, there are some expenses that are so unpredictable and urgent that you can’t control them later. although i’m in favor of control, especially since the states if this money is given and it is the money of tax payers, then taxes, then obviously someone should control them, whether this amendment will be made and when we should count on this help from the united states, please. so here i would highlight three points

point one, first of all, of course, all the expenditures of the american budget are controlled, because in all e-e departments of all agencies of the federal, state, federal, hmm, in all christianities of the federal authorities of the federal government , they have the position of inspectors general, who had a whole staff of employees and they control e they control what all federal agencies do. both from the point of view of the legal and legal point of view, and from the point of view of how they make their budget expenditures, that is, they control the use of budget funds, that is, these general inspectors are there , they are in the ministry of defense in the pentagon, they are in his state department, they are in every department, is there a need for one more inspector general who would monitor precisely the types of aid in ukraine? well, it is possible and

necessary, but second point senator polo , the leaders of both factions, the leader of the democratic majority , senator sumer, the leader of the republican minority, senator mykorny suggested that well, come on, then we will adopt a separate bill on the introduction of the position of additional inspector general, but separately from this bill, so that it is a bill about uh, 40 billion for aid in ukraine, that it be adopted immediately and quickly , senator pol did not agree with this, therefore the third point is that uh, like the sumerians, mykola openly in the eyes of sanatoriums, the circle of pridosovu told him not to accept this draft law. that is, his desire to introduce the position of inspector general is actually simple. this is the general way of managing this draft law.

because he refused to adopt a separate law on the introduction of this position and, of course , it is very unfortunate that the promotion of the bill in the senate is very complicated, there are many procedures for how bills are accepted, and senator sumer, the leader of the democratic majority, who de facto is the speaker, the senator of the sonata, there is no speaker the position of president of the senate, which is held by the vice president of the usa, but de facto, the main person in the senate is always the leader of the majority faction, yes, they are sumer, the leader of the minority, makonal. they agreed that this draft law, which has already been adopted by the house of representatives, to adopt it in the senate under a simplified procedure, the simplified procedure involves refusing to discuss the draft law, it simply should have been there, it was voted on from all readings at once and quickly adopted, because

if at least one senator to adopt it the simplified procedure must be a consensus, that is, what is called a unanimous consensus, to be carried out in accordance with the regulations, that is, if no one objects to any senators, then, well, this is the procedure, just a bill no amendments to it are voted on, senator-pol, he opposed it, but if at least one senator opposes it, unfortunately, er, this simplified procedure cannot be applied. therefore, now it is necessary to schedule a meeting of the senate in order to consider the amendments er that is, it is necessary to consider this amendment of the senator about uh-uh. someone else can put forward uh-uh, well, start to put forward some amendments that will also need to be considered, that is, even if even if it is only about this amendment polo no er, even if it is rejected

, the organization of the draft law may be delayed, but in the best case, it will take two or three plenary days to write in order to adopt it, but if this amendment is adopted, it will be even worse for the adoption of the draft law, because the house of representatives passed it version without this position of the general aspector, that is, then the bill will be returned to the house of representatives, i will have to consider it somewhere else. maybe someone will want to make some amendments and this then there will be the usual endless process that always happens in the american congress when adopting bills when the house of representatives adopts different versions of the bills, it can last months of coordination, er, there they create joint commissions in order to agree on the text, it can last very, very long and all this will work all this time, of course, in the hands

of russia. maybe in the senate, maybe in other elected bodies. well, let's say there is also the fbi and other bodies that deal with politicians and not i know the usa, well, they asked whether there is no corrupt element here. borenda polo is a senator from the state of kentucky. does he have any business connections, or maybe other connections with russian business? is his speech against, well, in fact, the urgent and immediate support of ukraine with these billions connected with his acquaintance? and er with some cooperation with by the russian oligarchs, that's the question. is it possible to find someone or not? maybe someone already has such a picture on the internet somewhere. senator paul is standing together

with a russian senator from lutsk. are they hugging? they are actually hugging. i don't know when it was taken a couple of years ago. year, a delegation of republican senators was in moscow. maybe then it was done. maybe if some son now, of course, absolutely. you are right that this is necessary. investigate and read contours and investments from a russian oligarch doripaska, who made an investment there to build an aluminum plant there, yes, this, this is happening. i really hope that the sanatorium mykola, the leader of the republicans of the sonata, will be able to find at least 9 more republican senators besides himself, because everything is necessary 60 votes are needed to pass all these procedural votes in order to find 60 votes to reject paul's amendment and finally pass

this bill as it was passed by the house of representatives if the legislator then they will need another inspector general in order to control these applications for aid to ukraine well, they can adopt a separate law and no one prevents them from making a short separate law about this, as we proposed a full-fledged only maternity leave, which he refused and then more i have to add that, well, i just see on the internet in ukraine that there are voices saying that it is not possible to give us so much money because, well, here we can, well, it is possible to divulge something to the hungry level , and so on. well, somehow i it seems er, i don’t want to offend anyone, well, some kind of childish language like that. well, because there is a war. and actually, of these forty billion in the form of direct money,

ukraine is not so much. i have to receive because there is not so much, it is, it is, it is about more than eight billion but this is the language of the ukrainian budget, this is the salary of the ukrainian military, this is the salary of the military of the armed forces, who are at the front, who are fighting, this is pensions for ukrainian pensioners, and the rest of the money. there, there is 16 billion in direct military aid. that is, this is the money that will be spent the pentagon to buy weapons and transfer them to ukraine, well, what kind of corruption can there be, at the same time, the pentagon has an inspector general who monitors how the pentagon spends budget funds, there is still money because the united states has increased the number of its troops in europe in order to ensure the presence of a greater number of american troops in europe in order to ensure their operation, there is still money to help ukrainian

refugees, in particular, refugees who are being pushed to the united states by refugees who are in in europe, there is also money to overcome the food crisis in the world. it will be a very big problem because ukraine currently does not have the means to export grain and other rural crops . what kind of export would smm survive there, and india, by the way, has banned the export of grain now, during this war, we will see what other countries that export grain will do there, in particular canada, australia, that is why we have a difficult situation, literally 4 minutes. i would like more one topic to discuss, it is interesting to hear your opinion yesterday for the first time since february 18, in fact, for the first time during the war and the head of the pentagon spoke on the phone with the minister of defense of russia sergei shoigu in the fall, what was she talking about and was the position of the pentagon really the

stability of the ukrainian army that holds the lines despite the fact that so far there is no full help. did this force the kremlin to pick up the phone, as they say , because before this i had never picked up the phone. please , i will be with you later. troops and not the failures of the russian troops. they forced him to pick up the phone because the united states, hmm, several times at least several, if not more, until february 24 offered to hold a conversation between the minister of defense. russia refused at the moment. she agreed. and the official notification to the pentagon about this conversation was very short, that is the conversation lasted for one hour. well , let's say, let's divide it into two. well, the translators were working. it's unlikely that he spoke english, so the actual message was about

that the united states defense minister demanded an immediate cease-fire from russia to the guests, it should not be interpreted as the united states wanting the fire to cease and the troops to remain where they are no because as of yesterday when the question was asked does such a demand mean austin what was the replacement in the policy of the united states in response, no does not mean because the policy remains the same and was formulated by minister rostin two weeks ago that ukraine must win and russia must come out of this war weakened to such an extent that it does not have able to repeat what she did now. and please tell me, there was also a message saying that he asked to leave this line, a communication line, that is, so that russia would not refuse

contacts . on the one hand, some politicians say that mr. putin does not need to help find a way out of the impasse, because he has driven himself into this corner, he must be finished, some politicians say in europe, well, biden is worried about what you see is that putin has no way out, so what to finish off in a dead end. here is this rat. well, i am figuratively talking about the president of the aggressor country. rat, but whether to finish it off. do you still try to get in touch, because again contact can mean many things, removal from power there, a change in the political regime, a change in course, and somewhere further on, putin will hide there in the forests of siberia, which did not burn down this spring, and will continue to live . come up with it, joe himself, please

baidan and his now former press secretary of the jobsaks, they repeatedly said, in particular , all of them repeatedly, painfully, probably once, that there will be no contact between the desired person and putin until putin agrees to de-escalation, that is, then he will not cease fire, for sure, i will not start to disagree at least to withdraw their troops at least to the position by february 24. that is, this is biden's position. it is very similar to, say , ronald's position at the beginning of his presidency, then there were contacts between the united states and the soviet union periodically at the level of, say, the ministers of foreign affairs, if i don't remember, there were then contacts at the level of ministers of defense, well, sometimes there were contacts at the level of ministers of foreign affairs, there were contacts at a lower level, there were meetings of navigation during negotiations on arms limitations, that is, well,

you see now how the contact between the minister of defense took place
