price of the contact group in brussels dedicated to ukraine, it is called aromstein three, the third meeting of the defense ministers of many countries, this time there are more than 50 who actually discuss defense assistance ukraine and e-e support our country in the conditions of russian aggression. so, whether or not pavlo letiychuk is already joining us is joining pavlo lukiychuk, head of security programs of the center for global studies, strategy 21, great news, we will be grateful . mr. pavlyk, congratulations, if you can hear us, respond yes yes good evening good, let's start with the latest news

that a ship with 18,000 tons of ukrainian corn this week actually arrived on monday in alpila port in northwestern spain. this is the first shipment of grain since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine that arrived in the eu countries by sea. according to cnn, via the baltic sea, ukraine currently exports grain in two ways through poland and romania, but the other day deputy foreign minister dmytro scenik told reuters the opposite that ukraine is conducting negotiations on the creation of a corridor for the export of grain through the baltic countries. well, we constantly talk about this on our air. we will remind you that ukrainian seaports are now blocked by russia and the diplomatic efforts of the world and the pressure on the russian federation to unblock these ports are also ongoing. well, what can you say about this

event , about this, um, the first tranche of our grain ? it is not enough to talk about any progress, mr. pavlo, you have a word, russia is waging a war with us not only armed, but also economically. of steps that should bring ukraine to its knees, putin is counting on this, and when the russians talk about the fact that the blockade of ports is a problem, not a problem . one of the ways er in the situation that russia does not unlock our ports

er we er there are two er alternative options is to use the er danube ports our small izmailu danube er wolf for transshipment overloading of our grain directing through romania and the second route - it is by rail, it is through the territory of poland, at the moment we can see that this route has worked from ukraine by rail, uh, grain is delivered to poland, from there it is loaded onto bulk carriers and goes to its addressees, but the russians are trying to actually cut off this channel and cut it for a reason, they carry out rocket attacks strikes on er nodal railway stations, they recently literally hit the darnytskyi wagon repair plant, which er repairs and er

builds grain wagons, all of these are links to ee once and for all, and we definitely we hope that that we, together with our partners, will be able to solve this problem, but the full-fledged export of custard will be possible to restore only after the end of the e-e war, you drive the russians away from ours, from our land, from our coast, then it will work for now, while the europeans offer us temporary grain storage in the fall, well, let's see what will happen? well, the united

states, together with its european allies, as it became known today, is also working on the export of grain from ukraine by rail, in particular, by building grain warehouses on the ukrainian border this was announced on tuesday by us president joe biden . european truth. well , we are talking about bringing these 20 million tons stuck in ukraine to the market in order to reduce food prices . this is the world market. and the actual grain cannot be exported illegally according to the president of the usa, since it will be detonated in the water, what do you think about these temporary grain storages, which allies plan to help ukraine build, volodymyr hrytsko, a diplomat, wrote on his twitter about this the following, of course, and to build granaries. is it possible to provide such weapons in ukraine so that our heroic armed forces can send the russian fleet to the black sea and not catch up with the cruiser moscow, thereby not only unblocking

our ports but also giving the enemy a good bite here, sometimes i agree with mr. minister and mr. ambassador railway track, temporary grain storages , this is an incomplete alternative for sea traffic , in fact, few people imagine the volumes and intensity of sea transportation, they will replace them with railways and motor vehicles practically it's impossible, well, it's 20-15 percent, hmm, how can you replace it? well, for example, from a certain part of it, grains will be able to be placed in temporary armories, and we are talking about the grain of the new harvest, because it will not be sent anywhere, it can simply disappear in reality, the only way and the real way is to secure or provide

international security corridors for vessels heading to our ports, the world community is not ready to fight a pirate state with an aggressor state armed with cruise missiles and nuclear weapons we are ready to fight it, but for this we need weapons, neptunes alone, at the moment the entire black sea fleet from its lair , we will not be able to drive the novorossian there. if our partners help you, with modern harpoons and other cruise missiles and complexes, we will drive the enemy away, we will drive the russians away uh, grains and we will secure the world, we will protect it from the main death, we will allow moscow to blackmail the whole

world with its actions like this, mr. uh, not much time , nevertheless, what do you expect from the summit in madrid which will be in less than two weeks, and where mr. zelensky has already been invited, what for us it will be a good sign that it will be in the negative for us. by the way, this is a cool transition because, in fact, there was also talk about nato ships to protect ukrainian grain. such were the optimistic assumptions of the experts, so there could be such an international mission created to unblock ukrainian sea exports, it would be good, but further talks did not go well, so what to expect and really about the prospects of the madrid meeting itself with the participation of the ukrainian president, to some extent i agree with the minister of cradles that we are expecting a miracle from the madrid summit. well, in fact, ukraine

should expect an action plan for membership at the madrid summit, and it will be a miracle even to be accepted into the north atlantic alliance in finland at this summit. shvets, but what a miracle is real for us , in fact, at this summit, a strategic document is adopted, the strategic concept of nato is 20-30 years, that is, for the future 7 years and the alliance will be defined by its enemies and its allies, we determine this by the nature of our actions for the nearest city, the medium-term perspective , do we have the courage to call the alliance member russia russia as the main threat to

europe ? federation in the east and in particular in the black sea region, the leadership of the alliance spoke about the fact that the maritime component of the black sea will be given considerable attention, but the attention is in words or will it be implemented in some actions and in the end, of course, it is important to us whether ukraine will be mentioned at all, all the strategies, how it will be mentioned and um these this will determine our uh euro-atlantic perspective in this decade, but only one question if you will allow uh president macron of france at the meeting with his romanian counterpart said that ukraine will have to
