. viktor, we congratulate you. participants of the global forum of the american jewish committee, this forum continues in new york , and in particular, zelensky spoke about the need to strengthen sanctions against russia and provide ukraine with offensive weapons. essential but you can use even more of your influence because we now have a historic opportunity to protect our common freedom our common security our common culturally diverse from the biggest wave of hatred of all that have threatened the world in recent decades, mr. viktor, your comments , please, the appeals of the president, as far as they can

be heard, we now, i think that now there is such a limit when the world community should really decide who it is with here not only in some kind of symbolic gestures, because there were a lot of calls in support of ukraine or some actions in support of ukraine, here we see the issue in concrete work and in concrete actions that there are a lot of countries that we had hoped that they would start handing over weapons to us very quickly, and now they are starting to give back, and it cannot be, well , if it were more gentle to say not to worry, because in fact we see a lot of statements that someone there is doing something there are plans to transfer, but in fact

, weeks pass, our defenders will die or soldiers, and during this time, de facto, nothing more is transferred, moreover, i remember this report after ramstein, when some countries really declared that they were ready to hand over e-e weapon n- certain weapons in exchange for eh this added such a car blanche for other countries well relatively speaking germany said that we will supply something to ukraine eh the united states instead responded that if you give then we will withhold supplies for the time being or the same and eh britain hoped that germany will begin to transfer it. as you can see, germany simply delayed the time, at this time it played er not in our favor, and i understand the reaction of president zelensky

that between the words declared by the western partners and the actions, sometimes a lot of time passes, viktor your reaction to the announcement of mr. scholz macron's visit to ukraine and dear, it was reported the day before by the italian newspaper lastampa, she said that the prime minister of italy maria and the chancellor of the offshore will pay a visit to ukraine on june 16. they will come, as it were, to show the support of the three largest european countries to president zelenskiy exactly one day before the european commission will deliver an opinion on ukraine's application for the status of a candidate for eu membership, but later a refutation appeared, well, in particular, the spokesman of the german government refused to confirm the media reports on monday that chancellor scholls will go to kyiv with macron and mario draga well, later and in the elysee palace, emmanuel macron's

office also said to open the question well, he hasn't given up whiskey yet, only the example of italy mario draga well, i've had enough, but not did not confirm his visit, what is happening with this visit of the three largest leaders of the largest european economies to kyiv. why is it like this? well , they are still like this. it is a mystery, an intrigue. will they come, please? the fact is that each of these kyiv from not just to come but to bring some well, that is, we have already talked about promises about promises, but assurances for sure that weapons will come to ukraine, that these three countries will really defend ukraine's efforts to join and join the european union in the future that these countries really share er, the fact that we are dealing with

an aggressor country and so on, that is, the list can be continued. i think that there are still a lot of such moments that stand in the way of these visits taking place. i think that there are a lot here primarily plays the role of germany and e-e accumulates every day, in fact, bi-claims to germany are growing more and more, so on the one hand, germany reduced the import of russian gas by almost 30%, but on the other hand, e-e at the level of e-e invested into the russian economy, i.e. all the same, overpayments go through and comparable investments made by the russian economy, they give the same amount of money to russia, for example, as china itself. that is , de facto, we are dealing with the fact that germany

continues to finance this authoritarian regime of putin, respectively, and supports it in this way it is dynamically possible to continue the war , and i think that there are a lot of different currents in germany, because according to recent sociological studies, the party of chancellor schultz is not even second, but already in third place and i think that it is precisely here that the german nation, the german people, will push chancellor scholz to make the right decisions, and not to save his own political future, which he obviously decided for some reason that

he is more comfortable in the dialogue with putin or v dialogue with russia, well, it’s about trade, as reported by our foul in germany of ukraine, andriy melnyk. he cited statistics of imports, exports from russia, exports from russia to germany, and imports, respectively, no no no no no no not from russia he wrote this is madness despite the russian aggressive war germany increased imports from russia by 60%, 60%, in january-april this year and transferred to moscow an additional almost 6 billion euros, he wrote to himself on twitter, and according to the diplomat, at the same time, trade between ukraine and germany fell by 11%. which we can comment, yes, that's why i say that one thing, when he was once such a pre-election campaigner, there is a pre-election slogan, trust in deeds, and here, perhaps

, you really need to really trust deeds first, not words, because a lot of words have been said, and germany is calm now, of course, we appeal first of all to germany, because it has constantly expressed its ambitions as the leader of europe and the leader of the european union, and because of that to germany, and now there are a lot of questions . those words about the work, at first they announced the transfer of certain systems there to ukraine, now they are already telling us that this should take place for several months, and maybe even until the end of the year. this is not a discrepancy. in the relations between the office of the

president of ukraine and the chancellor's building there, because actually these dialogues are going very hard, among other things, when this slogan appeared, he trusts in pre-election affairs, then, and so on a caricature of a hornet on this saying appeared that trust in criminal cases, since there are many participants of this list who were under criminal cases, it is possible that criminal cases will appear later in some international court and in relation to those european politicians who first promise something, then delay and perhaps deliberately delay , having at the same time having their own benefits his selfish interest, we can talk about this precisely because there have already been cases in the history of germany when the chancellor or former chancellor of germany was hired

simply to work for the russian federation. maybe scholz is also preparing some kind of warm place for himself there in the gazprom or development division, yes, viktor , but still, what is this visit for? well , this european leader needs him in order to show his people at home what they are from they went there. maybe they will go to buchi or somewhere or they want to talk to our president. and many are afraid that they will talk about the fact that it is necessary to save putin's face. now, before the decision of the european commission regarding our candidacy, i do not think that this issue should be raised 'jaz to decision of the european commission i for some reason hope that the european commission will make the right decision for 99% of the time, and even today, there have been some signals that

the same decision may be made in moldova. i understand that strategically this is in principle a justified step i think that in any case this visit should have taken place and it should have taken place earlier because de facto it is necessary to clarify a lot of these bilateral relations er which at what level we are now and you remember that de facto scholz was supposed to come to eh kyiv, but the story with steiner is because kiev didn't want to accept steiner back then, it played a negative role, that is, de facto, now they are catching up with what should have happened there a month ago, i think that in any case the internal politics of each of

these countries puts pressure on the leaders to make a decision and take the side of ukraine. i really hope that the new rammstein, which will also work literally in the next few days, that it will not be the most effective of all three, you say the right decision. that is, you expect that they will provide us a member of the candidacy for membership of the european union, but what will this give us, practically, because turkey has had this status for quite a long time, for example, it seems like a millennium since the 54th year, if i am not mistaken, i perfectly understand the level of the european bureaucracy and in this in this case, we perfectly understand that this is the starting point. but in order to start a full-fledged process of joining the

european union, we need to start with a specific bureaucratic procedure, and candidacy for membership of the european union is the beginning of this bureaucratic procedure. countries have their own characteristics regarding the accession to the european union, you are right here about turkey and by the way, erdogan recently reminded eh but nevertheless, i think that we can
