you combat operations against nato, we see that the russian army is not able to implement a larger scale before this, but this means that it should have passed quickly , all the same, the stock of weapons and the stock of personnel, even untrained, of the russian army is still maintained, and it must be taken into account that it will affect the by the way, with regard to these russian-american systems of long-range rocket hummers that ukraine is supposed to receive, yesterday there was information that the training on the management of these systems is almost completed by ukrainian troops and me, well , by ukrainian fighters who will then obviously train their colleagues here already on the battlefield, please tell me, i’m just curious. yes, maybe you have more information about these people, who are they training, well, they are special people, yes, they they must speak english, well, in order to understand and communicate, they must have certain world levels. it is obvious that the officer corps goes there . i think it is both contract workers and officers. i think that

there are fewer officers and, by the way, the first group on completed the training already on wednesday, that's right, today it was just announced by the deputy secretary of defense of the united states, and just in the next few days, the first four launchers of the heimers will arrive in ukraine, and it was said that the number will be increased , we were talking about four. now it is already said that after four there will be another 12. but i think that we will still reach the indicators there, which will be well, if there are not 300, then at least 100 launchers of this class will be with us even after the first group has already completed training. now the training of the second group begins, that is, this process takes place constantly, so i think that this is a significant contribution, but you it is important that it scales quickly, so that the transition from 10 to 100 passes extremely quickly, here, by the way, it is important to understand that i also

think that many people are worried about so that the enemy does not strike somewhere there, well, logistics, i think it is primarily a matter of the united states and the ukrainian command there, specialists are involved in this, we see that the weapons are, in principle, coming to the front, so i think everything is fine here. that how on the battlefield is on the battlefield to protect these installations as precious and important and they understood that it is not so easy to find replacements for them right away, therefore i think that the distance of defeat, it is mykhailo, that the enemy positions will be unreachable for enemy positions. well, i am not going to collect questionnaires right now, but let's assume that the enemy will, er, hunt for these installations, because this is exactly what will happen , mr. serhiu, we are now just moving on to the briefing and the taoist meeting with the head of the brussels pentagon, ramstein 3, we are watching 1 2 3

it is very nice to be again here collected together with colleagues, after the second rammstein ii meeting, we all

understand the danger that ukraine is facing , mr. reznikov's team provided us with very important information about how the situation on the battlefield and mountains is changing, we had important discussions about how to keep the aid we provide to ukraine today we had representatives from 50 countries that support ukraine, we see that the impact of the results of the work of the contact group on the defense of ukraine continues to grow and we also extend

a hand of support to such countries as georgia and moldova, we understand that it was not provoked aggression that shook the whole world, and we only bow our heads to the heroism and courage of the ukrainian people. a few weeks ago, we had a virtual meeting with the members of the contact group and we allocated 40 billion dollars for in order to ensure proper security measures for ukraine , president biden has allocated an additional 700 million dollars for this assistance to ukraine for the provision of the necessary weapons and ammunition, including e-e

drones, helicopters, heavy weapons, and i am very pleased to announce that the united states is ready to provide an additional package of assistance to ukraine in the amount of 1 billion dollars. we are also talking about rocket launchers, on which ukrainians are already undergoing training, as well as additional heavy weapons. $650 million for additional initiatives ageless initiatives our allies and

partners statements of needed security assistance and we can provide in exchange for providing security emergency assistance providing security in regions today we have to thank many countries, countries that agreed to help ukraine provide missile symptoms, missile systems, we work side by side with germany and great britain in order to support the military potential of ukraine. we support the transfer of himer rocket systems and a

series of helicopters and ammunition. it is also important to the nation of new long-range artillery systems, we are actively investing in strengthening the potential of ukraine's long-range potential i am very grateful to all representatives of all countries for the help they provide for ukraine and we direct ours and we only continue to increase our efforts several months ago we made serious investments in the development of ukraine in terms of armaments and we will only increase our efforts in this

direction we strive to strengthen the armed forces of ukraine in order to withstand the onslaught of russian aggression, together with the members of the contact group we strive to increase the defense capability of ukraine , so thank you and i pass the floor to mr. mark mili thank you very much for the leadership you have shown and for all the efforts that really change the situation for all the efforts that brought together the members of the contact group today and directed all our efforts so

that ukraine has the ability to defend its land and we will continue to do everything to do everything in our power in order for ukraine to stand every day, every day, kilometer by kilometer, ukraine will win back its land until complete victory, all the heads of the defense departments are dedicated in their efforts related to the provision of support military support for ukraine, we see that now there is a situation that the world has not seen since the second world war, when a great power tries to take over a smaller ukraine, ukraine is under direct threat, they are

at war, and that is why we continue to support it, since the rest of the world is also under threat of an attack by russia, the international community does not can allow such a baseless act of malicious evil act of violence and malicious acts to spread to the west that is why we are working we we we see that the world community has united since the beginning of a full-scale invasion and we we calculate we calculate we sponsor and provide all the necessary assistance to ukraine we have actively developed a strategy of cooperation with the ukrainian deeply appreciate and respect the resistance of the ukrainians on the battlefield together with our allies and

partners we provide large-caliber weapons heavy weapons in ukraine this week this month we send rocket launchers we provide training to fire-fighters so that they can properly use weapons, in particular long-range long-range artillery and other heavy weapons, we train ukrainian fighters to use self-propelled artillery positions and the most modern modernized equipment of 6500 javelin, which are already as well

as 98 thousand anti-tank systems. we also provided about one and a half thousand stings and hundreds of rifle speech. therefore, in most cases, therefore, we understand that there is still a lot of work ahead, we

gathered together today to understand that by defending ukraine, we are defending the whole world. we are trying continue to continue to promote the flourishing of a peaceful international system of cooperation to provide ukrainians with all the necessary training, medical aid, military aid, everything in our power. thank you for your attention, we understand that ukraine is constantly asking for a list of one or another heavy weapons, and this is happening continuously, we understand the urgency of the needs that exist now in ukraine and do you think

we can waste time like this or provide ukraine with the necessary weapons too late thank you for the question yes you are right we are focusing on the needs of ukraine and we understand what these needs are. we communicate actively with representatives of the ukrainian leadership and we do this on a daily basis. we understand how important it is to have such a contact group on defense issues. we communicate with the minister of defense of ukraine and we follow the dynamics on the field therefore, we clearly understand what the current requirements and current requests are

based on this dynamic, that is, what are the needs of the ukrainian armed forces. this is how we direct our efforts to the long-range military potential of the armed forces of ukraine, as well as counter- air defense to strengthen the air defense system, as well as the provision of other reactive systems that are different from the heimer, that is why we cooperate with our allies and partners to maintain the situation, to meet the needs of ukraine, we are focused on what the ukrainian leadership is asking us to do, they are better see and understand the needs, therefore we provide what is

asked of us, we will continue to increase our efforts in order to strengthen the defense capability of ukraine, i am sure that we will succeed general zaluzhnym we really received a list of what the ukrainians need the most. i already repeat that i have some statistics on viva, because it is thousands and thousands of anti-tank systems, we provided approximately 1,600 air defense systems, as well as other systems that were on the list, they provided

millions of millions of dollars that were aimed at providing artillery installations of long-range artillery systems, therefore all our allies are directed too strongly to ensure that the list of necessary weapons that we receive was satisfied, will russia manage to secure your stay in donbas, we understand that this is exactly the region that is experiencing powerful hostilities, as

well as luhansk. that is, this hot spot is located there at the moment, therefore definitely severodonetsk. yes , our supplies are sent there, of course we can not say that something will happen inevitable we can not talk about it, we will see in the course of the volume, but i say that the russian army is definitely larger in number, the ukrainians really need both manpower and weapons, so we see that the ukrainians are fighting, they are fighting unequal fighters online

we see that the strategies of tactics used by the russians are reminiscent of the tactics of the first world war, the deputy minister of defense of ukraine said that they receive approximately 10% of what they are asking for, or what do you think, can the us provide more than ukraine is asking for, in particular, jet systems salvo fire himers, we need to be very careful, first of all, if we talk about reactive systems of salvo fire, we are talking

about accurate, accurate ammunition, respectively, so that the ukrainians can master this or that weapon, the necessary targets a team that will train them uh, so we direct our efforts to uh, build up the potential, the long-range potential of the armed forces of ukraine, so we train teams of instructors, provide them with certain systems, and in this way we gradually build up this military potential with the appropriate type of menition any issue that is currently on the agenda, we, our partners, allies consider and only after that it acquires a critical influence on the

course of events with representatives of the ukrainian leadership and we really thought about what the development should be of strategic actions in this struggle, of course if we are talking about some specific numbers, then you need to talk to the person who cites those numbers, talking about the fact that you can never use your own military experience during a battle, there can never be enough of anything, i have been in such situations, i i really understand the moment of need when you need

more and more and accordingly, we do everything possible and impossible to get and deliver to them what they need, i think that the contact group's own work provides all the necessary elements which are needed for prioritizing needs, we definitely do not believe that by tomorrow we will be able to provide everything that is asked of us, but step by step we are heading towards the long-term perspective, we will direct everything to that end, we will shake the ground in order to do everything in our power in ukraine, we

understand that when we talk about weapons, military aid always consists in a combination of different types of land, air and sea weapons. shooting accuracy at 25 km. now we are trying to really bring the military potential of ukraine to a greater distance, we provide ammunition of which there is a sufficient amount for ukrainian soldiers . i remain with you. if they

correctly use the weapons that were given to them, they have all the opportunities to defend themselves. the qualities demonstrated by ukrainian artillery and the results they achieve on the battlefield. are really impressive, so we expect the same for the himers system that they provide to ukraine in order for it to win this war. it has already been reported that the loss of personnel

is very large, from 100 to 200 people per day . how quickly will the cooperation be? will assistance be provided which is now urgently necessary when we talk about ukraine as a sovereign state that will win freely and that will preserve its sovereignty. this is a priority for all of us when we are asked about our goals and our plans. so we will all talk together about what our the goal is to help ukraine and support its

defense capabilities in this unprovoked conflict, we see how actively the soldiers who defend their own land are fighting against, they master the equipment and use it properly, so again we will do everything possible in the shortest possible time for that so that we understand the needs that are currently on the battlefield in ukraine, all the ministers of defense departments around the world share our position almost approximately 50 representatives who were at today's meeting they share our position people from all over the world support our efforts to respect

the rights of people to be on their own land and rest in the safety of the personnel very often this data is not accurate so you often see from there in the news about something between 100 and 300 people die every day, so i emphasize that these data are inaccurate for ukraine. yes, this is a direct threat, but all the personnel are fighting to ensure security on their land and expel the enemy. they are fighting not even for their lives, but for

survival of their state so they need ammunition personnel and any support thank you very much two questions about losses so the defense minister said that there are other countries that provided additional artillery systems and also you talked about the various advantages of himers systems and others especially in terms of their accuracy and there are some statistics about how many units ukraine received, as well as other items from the aid package, there are many different ones

, there were hundreds of artillery systems
