we can clearly see what is calling the attention of the congressmen. also, we could see that there was a signal of readiness from the protocol service. so now the regular participants of this historic meeting for ukraine are being greeted, and something tells me that historically and for the united states, well, we can definitely say right now that this is a significant an event for our relations between ukraine and the united states oleksiy a-a while we have time how much yes how important is this event yes-yes how electrified the hall is right now yes pay attention how everyone er-e attentive how everyone concentrated, no one sits down, everyone is standing and waiting for the arrival of volodymyr zelenskyi in the hall, and the impression is that they are ready to wait

forever for this on the scoreboard. relations between the united states and ukraine . i think it is well, maybe not the key, but definitely one of the key events on the fact that our mutual relations, our strategies, strategic partnership relations, right now on are moving to a completely new level and the process is evidenced by political support and very serious financial and economic support and, of course, military support and patriots - this is the biggest and most serious signal of this support, which allows us, after all, to have reasonable hopes for that so that very soon we will receive everything we need, even from what ukraine does not have. that is

, we are talking about strengthening relations between the two countries, and this is understandable on the scale of support, such as that provided to us by the united states states. but we do not have other weapons systems that are not yet available in ukraine, including long-range missiles and, accordingly, aviation and serious offensive armored vehicles . as a result of its consequences, we will reach a completely different , higher level of relations between our countries. and should it be confirmed by signatures, so should it be approved bilaterally at the level of parliaments or presidents? i think that in fact, when the level of interaction between international nations is so great,

when americans, americans, ordinary americans are ready to support ukrainians by 70 to 80%, according to statistical surveys, i think even some signed bilateral documents in this situation will even be completely superfluous the main thing is that with each such visit of the first lady zelenskyi to the official delegations to the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, the permanent connection between the peoples is established between us. which is much stronger, which is much more effective than any bilateral agreement. well, regarding long-range missiles, in particular, the ukrainians are interested in the atek. at the press conference, such a question was heard, but the answer. and a smile and in general such a

free atmosphere, however, joseph biden did not provide specifics. do you think we have enough of these non-verbal signals for i think that , first of all, we should at least now it is enough that we, through our president, will have the opportunity to turn such a people, this is a key aspect, because we are already getting patriots about it 9 months ago, there was no talk at all, because it is extremely high-tech military , now we have them we will get so, if the american people tell their politicians, at least, what do you want among the democrats, the old republicans, in fact, there is absolutely no difference, they will always say the same thing that they support ukraine and it should be constantly increased support for ukraine, this support will of course be military and it will only

increase, and anyway we get what we want, long-range missiles and offensive weapons , respectively, armored vehicles and aircraft, respectively. well, you see, ukrainian politicians, ukrainian diplomats , the president's office, and we are talking about the fact that absolutely all the weapons that were given to us and that can be given to us are all defensive because we are defending ourselves, but how do we convey this to our partners because there is a clear division, in particular, even today they sounded on press conferences, questions about the effect of the escalation, is the next round of the tension beginning, although it would seem much more. and it already seems that the russian federation has already used everything it could against us. well, except that i don't know where it is about these 200,000 which putin now keeps in reserve, but they also need to be armed with something, and so on, so how exactly is it to convey to our partners

the idea that absolutely all weapons and attacks are also for 300 km or even a longer range . they are also for us the fact of the instrument of defense and defense, they and their opinion, in fact , have transformed very quickly these 9 months, and this is celebrated at absolutely all levels and on all international platforms, we once again said that at the beginning of the war, remember that we asked for some elementary weapons for this were chivelins for these were anti-tank systems and then we reached the haimars, now they are already patriots on and here please tell me the same haimas well, it is definitely not a defensive weapon yes, not a defensive weapon , this is a serious, a serious missile system hall

the birth of fire, here is the relative system, yes , today, biden reacted absolutely logically to the question of journalists that the systems really have a protective nature, but you understand. they are so long -range that they can even shoot down strategic bombers at a distance of about 200 km. what is the matter, that is, as long as it is only theoretical, there may be a threat from the air from the side of maybe the temporarily occupied crimea, maybe belarus, maybe the russian federation with the help of peteotivtsi it looks like they are congratulating president volodymyr zelenskyi. this is how we can already see congressmen congratulating volodymyr zelenskyi in the hall . so, on the capital hill of the congress building, president volodymyr zelenskyi is currently on

his way to the rostrum. attention to the colors in the bra. and many men also have a yellow-blue ribbon on the lapels of their jackets. of course, nancy pilosya is the speaker of the house of representatives, well, our viewers are now seeing the ovation that greets president volodymyr zelenskyi, let us remind you that this is his first visit abroad since february 24, when the russian federation attacked our country, and we are waiting for the historic speech of volodymyr zelenskyi, they are not letting up applause, we can see that they

greet him standing, they greet him loudly, and this really reflects to some extent the attitude of the entire civilized world towards volodymyr zelensky, because now many of him they are called the leaders of the democratic world precisely because he is such a symbol of freedom and indomitability and indomitability today in volodymyr zelenskyi in washington, by the way, they are representatives of the ukrainian diaspora. that's how we see them too. they are present as invited guests in yellow right in the center of the congress. it 's been incredible for a minute clap them zelenskyi ukraine as the speaker of the congress

defend their american values. yesterday, before i came here to washington , i was on the front line. at night, but bakhmut stands in our place. last year, we have people. 77 thousand people lived in this place. and

now there are only a few civilians left. every centimeter of this land is soaked in blood. the guns roar every minute, the trenches change hands several times a day in february in the fight, but the ukrainian donbass stands , they use everything they have against the bakhmuts, but the occupiers of beautiful sisters and our other beautiful cities have a significant advantage in artillery. there is an advantage in ammunition, they have much more missiles and

planes than we have ever had, this is true, but our defense our defense forces are standing and we are all proud, we are proud of them, russian tactics are primitive they burn and destroy everything they see, they send people to war criminals convicted criminals they throw against us go battle of the balls the same thing they throw and for means

the fighters repelled the attack of the nazis in the 44th year brave ukrainian soldiers are doing the same by repelling the onslaught of russian troops during this christmas ukraine ukraine holds ukraine holds ukraine holds stryi and will never surrender , which has no shortage of cruelty against free people and your
