supply to ukraine as soon as possible is a very big job. we have already listened to the press conference of the representative of the usa, one of the commanders of nato and the usa, he spoke and explained what a colossal effort this is vasyl, the leaders of the eu are striving to do everything possible so that the support that was as promised, it was delivered on time, the ministry also said that an extremely large amount of weapons and ammunition has already arrived in ukraine. supporting armaments also in training. that is, we

understand that such challenges arise around the clock , so we can say that we are putting pressure on our allies to do everything possible so that these statements that they made are finally implemented as soon as possible. it is carried out by these people, they work very hard talking about the current visit of representatives of european countries to kyiv. this is a clear manifestation of ukraine's solidarity, these countries have already repeatedly expressed their support for ukraine providing important and significant support in ukraine . i also want to underline the decisions that were

taken by the european union, the sanctions that were taken, so all this demonstrates the work of the european union, the work of nato, which all efforts are aimed at supporting a country that is currently suffering from unprovoked aggression and so here is a night visit is part of this such a general message unfortunately we have time constraints hope to see you all at the summit thank you for your attention an army with strong rears soldiers need our support invincible thanks to exceptional preparation from ivan zdorodets created the organization fire of zaporozhye constantly trains zaporozhians in fire training and for medical aid. you don't need to be a superhero to learn how to save

to the nato alliance in recent decades it is as little as to say you can say captain it is obvious to say what is it is it is it became because it is it is it is it is president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi is invited to the madrid summit at the end of june, he is also an orthodox person, and no one at a-a. from monday , ukraine is in nato. it is true that while i am starting this briefing, 158 f-35 aircraft are flying to moscow. in principle, at the end of the speech of president putin, he will no longer be alive, as in principle, and moscow. well, in principle, i have everything bye, the questions will be tomorrow in madrid, so let's recall that the secretary general emphasized that nato allies are determined to continue providing ukraine with military equipment more details about what we will receive in 10 minutes with defense express expert ivan kyrychevskyi, and yuliya

osmolovska, an expert in international relations and the head of the board of the center of trans-athletic dialogue, is in touch with us right now congratulations, mrs. yuliya. have a good day. in your opinion , anyway. well, let's talk about her. there was a certain feeling of disappointment. ramstein 3 happened, and i wished there were some fateful decisions. recently, yevhen stepanenko , the fight is familiar, good, which is now too . in the armed forces of ukraine and a veteran of his own war in 6.14, uh, a medic, a pilot who wrote that he was just like that, showed two photos that this is there. lend-lease now and langlist there are 40-44 there are some there 43rd year when just there are some under the horizon is conventionally speaking standing trucks with ammunition and something else, and all this is being prepared for stalin to be sent to the soviet union so that he would fight only with hitler, and from the

united states, there is some feeling that this is slovakia decided to give a little bag, they will also give something there, germany, it happens that i am not a military man the expert, therefore, it is difficult to comment precisely on quantitative indicators of what is provided, i can explain, well, at least the numbers that were involved by the deputy minister of defense mrs. hanna malyar regarding the fact that only 10% of those needs that we stated that ukraine today received uh, what is the reason? well, one of the reasons i know is because western colleagues told us that ukraine is using the ammunition that is provided too quickly because our partners had calculations about, let's say, a certain amount of ammunition, what are they expected to provide e-e with use within a week ukraine uses from 1-2 days and now there is a certain embarrassment as to how

to simply relate to those topics of those needs because to such a level of intensity of the war our western the partners were definitely not ready and they made their preliminary calculations and made promises and based on their reserves, based on the calculations , wars were waged in that same war in afghanistan, so i know that this is one of the reasons in our country. and i am also convinced that those public statements about of the countries' readiness, paty provided us with one or another weapon based on the results of the rammstein rammstein iii meetings . i'm sorry, it happened in brussels, in principle , not all of them are public, so i wouldn't rush to draw such conclusions now that it's all a betrayal of our partners do not support these topics, there is simply a certain and intensive work that is happening now every day , and there is at least a clearly stated and demonstrated political readiness of the main countries that have such

amounts of weapons to provide them to ukraine, and this is the main thing, and in principle, we will count on the fact that within a month the situation ms. yuliya will be fixed. well, we see that actually one of the most important statements of the nato secretary general these days is the invitation of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi to participate in the madrid summit nato on june 29-30 and we already know that volodymyr zelenskyi has accepted this invitation. i think that it will most likely be a meeting in the format of a video link . well, maybe the president will go personally. we'll see. in any case, he was invited in this form in which he can take participation and what did stoltenberg say about this summit in madrid, we are waiting for this one that will transform nato, we will make important decisions on defense and deterrence, we will modernize the alliance with the fourth strategic compass and we will have contacts and so on and so on and

so on. and we are also talking about sweden and finland, but in your opinion, what does the summit in madrid mean to transform nato, or can it mean that the country will soon receive the green light to join the alliance? and what should we do now to maximize this prospect in these days we talk a lot about the procedure, the mechanisms, such as ukraine's entry into the eu, its acquisition of candidate status, and at the same time we hear the opinions of experts who say that the path to nato is actually much shorter for us. and why is it shorter, and what exactly is it this procedure. well, we have already understood that obtaining a passport, as shown by the example of sweden, finland, is not mandatory , but how then should everything happen and in what time frame is it actually realistic? can we start talking about it already in madrid? and now the line of our political

leadership is giving mixed signals, because on the one hand no one has withdrawn ukraine's application for membership in nato, as our vice-prime minister olga stefanyshina said, and on the other hand, the ukrainian side is now working on options for a neutral status and security guarantees from our partners within the framework of the dialogue that began with the russian federation in the first days after the start of the war, so today it is necessary for the ukrainian political leadership to decide in general what is the main dominant course for us, and rapprochement with nato, this process, in principle, must take place under any strategic guidelines and usually and of course it is very important when the president is invited to such status summits and however, i will note here what was probably more important for us today to receive a letter from the presidents of france, germany , italy, and romania, an invitation to the summit of the european

council, where exactly 90 issues will be considered for us, the candidacy of ukraine, membership in the eu, in your opinion, is it possible? here is our colleague from er f- well-known journalist vitaly portnikov, with whom we have the pleasure er and work on the same channel . of active actions is that that ukraine was in nato is also very often talked about, and other people talk about it on the air, speakers say that the alternative is, for example, valery chaly, a very experienced ukrainian diplomat and long-term ambassador to the united states from ukraine, also says that there are no alternatives to nato for ukraine in principle exist on the other hand, but stoltenberg himself says that

nato is already under threat. well, i don't know. that 's what the editor of the international department read in cardion. he wrote what mr. si said in my opinion. what you do you think about this, is there an alternative to nato and is there an alternative to victory without a sign, for sure we will win rather than join nato, but from the point of view of which mechanism is considered a greater guarantor of security, well, look, for example, sweden and finland, which decided to join nato virtually instantly there during for two weeks, this decision matured after sweden had been a neutral country for at least 200 years, which means that this means that the status of neutrality today after the actions of russia in ukraine after an invasion cannot be considered the most effective tool for guaranteeing security, and the examples of these

countries are quite indicative, so i personally think that i do not rule out that it is precisely for ukraine that the most effective guarantee of security can be only through nato membership and, in fact, the processes that are currently taking place, how the ukrainian armed forces demonstrate their effectiveness on the battlefield and very quickly learn e standards perform the technique used today by nato structures, this can become a very effective e argument in negotiations with nato countries and in the future. and schalke itself is already starting to shift the scales among the skeptics who opposed ukraine's membership in nato . that today, in fact, we are at war with one of the best

armies in the world, as it was once believed, so i support the position of your esteemed experts, and i can say that i also believe that ukraine's membership in nato will be a better guarantor of security than neutral status, and by the way, there may be a situation where ukraine, for example, will become a member of nato without liberating all its territories. in your opinion, is there a specific warning in the normative documents of nato that if a country has territorial claims, it does not can apply to become a member of nato. lawyers do not actually find a clear answer to this. therefore, de jure,

it is possible that such a ban does not exist, but de facto, it can exist because this is what is spoken on the sidelines and by european politicians when we are with them we are talking about this, but if we talk about the list of ukrainian skeptics in nato, who is it as of today, mrs. yulia, we see how turkey is blocking sweden and finland's path to nato. and how it might look in the case of a more lively discussion on ukraine. we are guided by the previous experience of 2008, when we almost received this status of an invitation to receive an action plan regarding membership and two countries were against it - these are france and germany, but i do not think that this situation is static and the position of these countries will definitely change over time what look which they departed from their traditional principles of not providing weapons to third countries, i am now talking about

germany, relatively speaking, despite the fact that we have not yet received serious contributions from them in terms of military equipment. but for them, even such a political decision to admit that they are ready to provide these weapons was successful it is not easy, so i am optimistic in this regard, this is the work of our diplomacy . well, first of all, how the ukrainian armed forces will demonstrate themselves on the battlefield, because i will note one more interesting comment to the military specialists from britain noted that they were amazed at the speed with which the ukrainian armed forces mastered these approaches and learned new techniques, and this speed was even greater than when the unification of germany took place, and the armed forces of east germany were actually nato standards that were in west germany, that's why we have a

lot of positives here and we will work on them in principle every day . i think that when we defeat russia, this argument will be made of reinforced concrete . thank you, mrs. yuliya yuliya osmylovska expert of international relations, the head of the board of the transatlantic dialogue center was in touch with us. well, right now we are moving on to the promised topic. and what does ukraine get as a result of the third ramstein , namely the meeting of the e-e contact group on the defense of ukraine, and it has just been crowned in the press conference of the secretary general of nato and general stoltenberg in contact with us ivan kyrychevskyi expert defense express congratulations mr. well, let's start with the first results eh rammstein what does the situation actually look like in your eyes how much eh this brussels meeting in the format of rammstein iii became a breakthrough, our expert yuliya

osmolovska quoted the words of deputy minister of defense hanna malyar the day before, who said that only ukraine received 10% of what was needed and what it asked from western partners. well, how much do you think the amount of what we need will still increase as a result of this meeting of this contact group, which was joined by more than 50 states that are ready to support ukraine. let's start with what with these words about 10% of hanna malyar, a rather interesting situation arose because yesterday western journalists asked representatives of the pentagon about it . well, the answer there was roughly the same as what we gave. in fact, everything was according to the request that ukraine asked for and even more, so far more than that. the passage roughly sounded like the journalist was questioned

there . the answer was something like this: her boss is sitting in my office, here's his it is better to ask about the numbers, he is like jen telmen, explain accordingly. now if we talk about the impressions of yesterday's rammstein well, we, well, through an objective view . see that we were still given more than announced . but why wasn't it announced even because it is clear , because if we already have it, we can get it. well, why give the russians everything at once to know everything about it if we talk more than we can get? well, for example, the same anti-ship complexes of hunchbacks that, well, judging by everything, if you take the number 4, what is the price of a kit for

25 launchers for several control machines fire and plus the authority of the horpins obviously gave us more than two complexes, the one that concerns the artillery there and the fact that there, for example, the number of many people was lazy. what do they say they gave 18 howitzers in total? yes , it is worth paying attention to all of them here. to pay attention to such an unremarkable item as the components for the artillery yesterday, i just really don't remember the edition well, they just cited data that as a result of the intensity of the fighting on several dozen howitzers with type 777, the barrels literally burned out and here in the western allies they give us industrial quantities of the same barrels, for example, so that we in such a situation, it did not arise, or even with helicopters from slovakia, the situation was also resolved, interestingly, apparently, many people have such an anti-loco sequence that at first, the representatives the pentagon declares that slovakia is giving us

helicopters of the mi type, and today the minister of defense of slovakia declares that slovakia has given us four helicopters of the type 18 and one helicopter of the mi-2 type, which we, as i am inclined to interpret, should be in service at the end of 2021. that is, they were removed from storage, which means the following will be a step in the transfer of attack helicopters of the mi-24 type to slovakia, which cost as many as 15 pieces. well, if it was clear that we are here with limited, of course, share our assumptions with open sources, there it is on the air and it is clear that why won't they be then, again, why would russia appear on the front, mr. ivan, but there are a couple of such clarifications, there is also information, i don't understand everything, for example, somewhere i met that harpoons can be

delivered from a land mobile platform, it will be delivered in general, it turns out that it will be something similar to our neptunes, which, unfortunately, did not go to syria, if it was supposed to be what kind of ground launcher there is a car for something and the control equipment is also on the car chassis there are some versions of this harpoon debt-based there is even an option strike at ground targets, that is, you clarify in case, that is, when we already destroy the black sea fleet, what will we do with them next, including for some kind of counter-battery or other fight there, we will definitely fight them if it is not possible, as the practice of how the russians shoot back shows against ship missiles, yes, they are against bark, which you also use for land targets, but for

coastal ones, but in the crimea, you will be able to beat them with these garkuns. and you know that for a bonus for clean herbs, something once worked there before the introduction of on the crimean bridge, a coastal harpoon can work on such land targets, and on hammers, after all, poland writes that they occupy 500 himersives, everything is actually full of these on youtube, the whole show, poland will have the most powerful artillery in europe, well, we are glad, we are seriously glad, no jokes but listen, they give us how much four, and you get 500. maybe we are here now a little more useful and necessary. well , here it is better to interpret the primary sources more correctly. to receive from the usa only the first 20 installations, and the other - 480 already produced at its own capacity, especially

in poland, there is an example when poland is still completing its anti-aircraft oxymetriot transplant program and it turns out that the whole process dragged on for 6 years, then when the weapons are not petri, including because poland wanted to master it independently and by equipping the fools and the like and all those hymers over the years, yes, 10 of these empty ones, poland is going to manufacture them on its own, and if we talk more there more details about how many heimers we should have there. well, in fact, the usa is preparing to send 8 additional units of this kind. accordingly , even our military is already preparing to train for new installations. something similar to our vilkhivtsi , that is, the high-precision missile complex there does not have the task of covering it with a shaft

of rockets. the pentagon officials believe that the 12-tyheimer sat on our head, mr. ivan. by the way, while we are talking about harpoons, the kerch bridge is so crazy, the discussion and panic is going on, especially in the russian media, because literally just now general marchenko, major general the armed forces of ukraine in an interview with crimea realiy stated that the attack on the kerch bridge will take place as soon as ukraine receives weapons. and this is the number one goal for the ukrainian military in russia. panic and er piskov er putin's press secretary commented on this topic and tried to appease the russians who were excited by the statement of the ukrainian general, he says that the russian military guarantees

the safety of the bridge, and the command takes into account the threat of an attack by the ukrainian army, so let's try to comment on this discussion . weapons, then we can predict a successful counteroffensive of the armed forces and the liberation of the captured territories by the end of the summer. and this is a very cool forecast. let's try to comment on what concerns the crimean bridge, but they have something to panic about, because, well, including it is like in the temporarily occupied crimea, because now the crimean bridge is the only transport artery that can connect the occupied half of the country with the so-called mainland, according to the fact that if there are certain factors, well, this bridge will stop working accordingly, they will all turn out to be a

party there, not only there is the history of the occupying forces of the temporarily captured crimea, but also in principle themselves. damage to nominal targets even if you don't demolish any of them there immediately fly over there to demolish the uh-e canvases of the automobile part to demolish the canvases of the railway part it will be quite possible and that's all except that it somehow spends there on its own well, in principle , the necessity, that is, because it will not work as transport artery, this applies to the second part regarding the supply of weapons, you know, we turn out, as a matter of fact, yesterday's who of all events found themselves in a slightly awkward position because, for example, there was this essay from the traitors of the bank about what to give us there how much is 1000 bnb in the key of the root, there are hundreds of thousands

of allies officially, you know that such a request should be set out on a piece of paper and justified. to defend it there, because we have already received it accordingly, and it even turns out that we are somehow a little er, sorry, not on the subject of lyme, that is exactly scholz, who, as it seemed to us, is delaying the transfer of some soviet armored vehicles, yes, in exchange for german because well, in fact, if an official request has not been received, it is reasonable to give us this much. and there are only some correspondence on social networks, according to which the germans do not see where to teach them, and accordingly, in order for this positive forecast of general marchenko to come true, it is somehow necessary for the military and political leadership to write an official what kind of request would the pentagon receive, let's say, when

there are simply journalists asking for the pentagon's leadership at a briefing, here they wrote on twitter that if our own standards of language, well, the truth is, i would really like it to be included here at least clarity on this issue. we remember that actually these are the quantities of weapons that were asked about, but the journalists were referring to the comment that was voiced in the comment of the adviser to the head of the president 's office, mykhailo podolak. it is at many public events such as the events of the atlantic council, in particular , the head of the joint chiefs of staff of the united states, general mark emily , spoke about it
