ukrainian people, we will continue to strengthen your ability to defend yourself and that is why we will provide ukraine with a patriot anti-aircraft battery and train your troops to use it correctly together with our partners, we will make the kremlin pay the price for the war and we will support ukraine's aspirations for a just peace pet missile systems as a rule, they are located on the territories, well, on the american territory or on the territory of the countries that are now part of the north atlantic alliance. if you believe the statements of the american president, the first this petre anti-aircraft missile complex will appear in ukraine. does this mean that we are moving towards nato, and these are, well, such symbolic hints that ukraine will be there sooner or later, because the weapons that are currently supplied to of ukraine it allows the ukrainian

army to be completely rearmed and to approach nato standards to the models currently used by the armies of nato member countries. the question was raised on two levels, i.e. the first one. i think it is obvious to everyone. at this stage, we must use the most modern western weapons in order to protect ukraine from further barbaric missile attacks from russia, and this system, as the military says, is an excellent deterrent , and you correctly said at the beginning of our conversation that in the swamps they are already howling from the fact that in a few weeks, because we are talking about the weeks in which our specialists have to

master this weapon, the chances of the fascists to do what they are doing today will be very, very little, which means that the next trump they expected that we would give up e.e. lack of electricity. it will be beaten again and in this regard. the more we have such systems or similar systems, the less the russians will have such opportunities in relation to nato, so in fact, ukraine e.e. as our minister e. preznikov said, we are already a de-factor e-e member of the alliance because e-e we use the weapons of the alliance, we use the tactics of the alliance, we use the experience of the alliance and we ourselves already have the experience that the alliance will be

to use for their exercises after ukraine wins this war. so, we are already from that. if we were only the recipient , that is, the receiver of some information , we will soon become the country that will transfer its experience and which other countries and members of the alliance will already use. in order to be better prepared for a potential war with russia or any other aggressor, the second thing here is what continues to surprise me personally, very diplomatically speaking, today it appeared again information about the fact that french president macron once again uttered some, well , in my opinion, completely inappropriate things, let them forgive our french colleagues for such a

possibly sharp, such a sharp assessment, but in a different way, i uh, well, react to to be honest, i can't if the president of france starts talking about some things that are contrary to common sense if he still can't understand that today 's russia is a threat to himself and his country well, it just makes you wonder why eh for a country that plays not the last role in world global security, it is a mystery why there in france in paris they cannot understand this why in paris they continue to think that russia is putin and putin is russia why they still can't understand that putin just needs to be removed because he is a war criminal. and all the junta

that i am around him, these are his henchmen, their place is gas. and what will happen after putin, we will figure it out ourselves, even without france. i think that there will be enough of us for this, all of us other opportunities and say that ukraine will not a member of the alliance because someone in moscow does n't like it, it's playing on moscow's side, so let's talk about it completely frankly. it's very strange to me that the president of france is starting to talk about some kind of autonomy within nato. well, you can just remind him who freed france from the fascist plague . well, it wasn't that long ago. what is it, so to speak , in the memory of two generations? well, let him read the history of his own country, of course there were collaborators who danced to the german pipe on olx, after all, there was much less that was there it was also about german, about the german government, and so

on, and so on, but it was not the decision of the french people, it was the same scum that exists in every nation. why does he forget about this and why does he think that americans are some kind of uh at least the opposition to european unity and no, the americans ensure the security of europe. well, if not france, then in any case other countries that do not have nuclear weapons, i will quote mr. volodymyr what macron said, macron said that he considers it unlikely that ukraine will join nato as an option for security guarantees for it said he is literally like this with this russia like this. it is difficult to imagine that the accession of ukraine is meant as a donation, but will ukraine join nato, which is not the most likely scenario, or not, it needs to provide security guarantees, especially since it has been attacked by russia, well,

quite a strange position in general macron has been there since the beginning of the war and is constantly flirting with putin, but what does this have to do with the french, or why do the french constantly appeal to putin and try to see peace in his eyes, or at least some steps to make some kind of concessions to the european, including the ukrainian comrade from the society, on anti-americanism , which was very actively and skillfully encouraged by moscow all these years after the collapse of the so -called socialist camp, then after the collapse of the ussr and so on more and so on, that is, moscow was constantly playing on what, because it should split europe, split the unity of europe. whether it is the european union or the senate, it doesn't matter, uh,

average nato is its own game, so that some countries are against others within nato is another game for europe to be against america america against europe why did they applaud so much when trump came to power in america well, because they sincerely believed that his statements that an attack is not a necessary thing will be implemented well, thank god uh, not trump uh one decides what to do, there is a decision-making mechanism in this country, and it was stopped. but, it does not mean that moscow has stopped. it just may have changed the ways of implementing this plan and, unfortunately, a whole has been formed in europe. a whole generation of politicians who for some reason think that america is theirs well, let's say it's not a friend, at least i repeat once

again, america protects europe from these beastly russian liberators and makhron, and not only him, he should still know that, well, i would really like to so that after all he came back from these clouds about the great russian culture about the fact that russia is there and it does not change to the real land and he really said that with this russia so with this russia after the victory there will be more of ukraine, and for that, all the esteemed leaders of the event need it right now prepare and not sit and talk about what will happen. then we will see. then, then, this means that the path is not of visionaries, but the path of people who are like ostriches who have buried their heads in the

sand and do not want to see what is happening around them, this is very, very strange for a leader a country like france, friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our social networks, in particular on facebook and also on youtube, for those who are now watching us live on youtube, i will say that you can become a sponsor of our youtube channel under this video you can find the button to sponsor and it is described in detail. what needs to be done to help our channel, also read our news on the espresso tv website, we work for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. volodymyr , speaking at the congress , thanked the congressmen and to the americans for their support, and the speaker of the house of representatives of the congress, nancy pilosi, announced the next round of aid to ukraine, let's see how it was, thank you very much for the invitation, it is a great

privilege to be here to address the congress to all americans it is a great honor for me the us congress is a great friend of the ukrainian people and the freedom of our country at a time when the congress is preparing another important round of security humanitarian and economic aid i hope within 48 hours it will happen the peninsula said about this aid package a large aid package we know that for the year 2023, the budget of the united states of america has set aside 44 billion dollars, part of which will go to weapons, which will be given to ukraine , part to some project related to the ukrainian state, well, taking into account these the big money that the official

washington is going to provide to ukraine, and for that phase in which we are now in the russian-ukrainian war. of course, this causes the russians to be annoyed and they are starting to talk directly to him with the united states of america because if it weren't for the united states of america, there would have been peace with ukraine a long time ago, this is always the topic of peace, or why did biden or zelenskyy during the press conference during the conversation not say a single word about peace with russia, what did the russians expect from this visit? are they just that the visit was not expected and now they are trying to save face in some way, at least for the internal audience, you see, mr. sergey, what happened now in washington is truly unprecedented. -

this is 300 million and i will remind you that 300 million was the standard military aid from the usa to ukraine, but in these previous years it was sometimes 250, when it was 270, and so on and so on, but the figure was somewhere around 300 million, and now it's more than 40 billion, well, it's not it's just a different order of numbers and this uh, well, this, well , it can be compared to a certain extent with uh, the military budget of russia, because there are 60 and a half billion dollars, here 44 show uh, what is the reaction in moscow to such things. they are really there they are mad because they understand that if all this money will be transformed, so to speak, into weapons, at the same time weapons

that will allow ukraine not only to defend itself but also to hit their bodies, then this will mean that these mobs or chmobikes have no chance well, how can you tell from the word completely because if you are armed with a kalashnikov assault rifle or a sapper blade, then with such weapons you will not do anything against modern species such as hymers such as attack and so on and so on. that means that the russian hopes for some there, the victories are crossed out immediately , so the reaction is really, they didn’t expect it, they didn’t understand what this could be, and now they just have to invent some kind of another delusion, which they once again carried

with the sand, declaring that it turns out that russia is behind peace a they are bad americans, ukrainians, they have made a fool of themselves, well, for the russian population, everything is probably normal. well, they have been living in this paradigm for more than a dozen years, and this next delusion will be perceived as quite normal, they will say that these 40 they are a habit of billions of dollars they are going to shoot peaceful people in donbas, well, such as cattails, for example , or something like that, friends. so, actually, there is no sensation here, only that i think that this is the most important result visit that after all, republicans and democrats, of course, democrats to a greater extent, because not all republicans are, so to speak,

delighted . in our current conversation with the americans to emphasize that not only they, but also we are interested in not a single dollar disappearing somewhere, and therefore the conversation about what some republicans are saying that we will not support until the audit is done, i think that we must with two hands to stand up for this audit and with figures and facts in hand to prove that not a single dollar, not a single gun, did not go anywhere, did not reach anyone , but are used in the war, it is simply not clear to many american politicians, uh, what is the intensity of

hostilities today, uh at the front, they don't imagine that it is possible to fire several thousand, maybe even tens of thousands of shells during one day. they don't physically imagine it. well, they should just be invited to the front to see how it all happens, and then i i think none of them will have any doubts about what and how it should be done. by the way, the kremlin has already reacted to zelensky's visit to the united states of america. putin's press secretary dmitry peskov said that the provision of new types of weapons will not contribute to the settlement of the situation, as he said, let 's see piskov, we see that, in fact, the average states and other countries are on the path of constant expansion of the range and increase in the technical level of transportation, which are not represented in

ukraine, this does not contribute to the speedy regulated situations, on the other hand, this leads to the fact that, unfortunately, the suffering of the ukrainian people will continue more than they could. well, this is the reaction of piskov, by the way, it is also the reaction to zelenskyi's speech in iran, because the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs of iran on thursday criticized zelenskyi's statements about moscow's military support to tehran in the war against ukraine, they denied that they provided these drones there. but i think that in principle in this situation and in a situation when there is confirmed data that it is precisely the iranian the shaheds are converted into these russian birds and repainted, they are still fighting on the side of the russian federation. to

what extent is what zelensky and biden are saying now convincing for the rest of the world ? i mean the statements of both biden and zelensky about what, well, zelensky in particular the fact that putin is a sick person with a sick and inadequate attitude towards the world, as far as the persuasions of others are concerned. to say productive in his supply of weapons to ukraine for the ukrainian armed forces because he fears, as he himself said, a split among the allies of the

panath . in order to give us weapons for a quick victory over racists, and this is how i interpret the statement of french president macron, and what we just talked to you about not only does this mean that president biden is, to a certain extent, forced into he doesn't want to uh, these too sharp movements uh, well, they introduced some problems for the uh, well, interaction within the framework of the uh alliance, but it seems to me that it is a matter of time, and it seems to me that what president zelensky said today about the fact that there are no signals to

putin it is not necessary to give, i would like it there, is it collective protection or not? i think that he was heard because if in the same france , the parliament makes a decision that putin should be tried, and the president of this country talks about some guarantees for this ukraine, well then it means that there really is a question but if the er collective event er understands the er depth of the fall of this fascist putin regime and is inclined to think that he will be condemned as such, then i think that er everyone has heard everything correctly and has already seen and what er zelenskyi directly and clearly said that he will no longer send any signals to moscow. i think this is a correct thesis that should

be heard and analyzed in all western capitals and so that there are fewer people who continue to think that it will be possible to build some kind of relations with russia relations with this in principle, it is impossible to build such relations with russia and with such a russia. one more person calls himself a co-aggressor, well , jokingly, he calls russia and putin a co-aggressor. alexander lukashenko held a meeting with the power bloc today and discussed issues and talked about how he said about the readiness of the neighbors to attack, let's see and we will hear what the self-proclaimed president of belarus says about large-scale training and exercises in the south of the republic of belarus and , accordingly, on the northern border with ukraine,

we have created a consonant of the old treaty with by the russian federation, the joint grouping of the armed forces in belarus, russia, in order to respond to the joint response to threats in our union, we conducted and are conducting trainings now, due to the current situation and the threat, these trainings are on a larger scale, so we conduct exercises on our territory, we move them to where we think it is necessary and jointly the grouping of the armed forces and their armed forces, there is no other plan, no conspiracy , just as i told the belarusians, those who are currently ruling the republic of belarus cannot be trusted because we remember that before february 24, the minister

of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikov, told the evil belarusian visa several times about these exercises that took place on the territory of belarus, and he simply swore that there would be no entry from the territory of belarus, they would not allow this, the current maneuvers, the political maneuvers of lukashenko volodymyr, what is the evidence? he does not know what putin wants, what he will do in this case, he does not have control of the situation, or does he still hope that he will get out of this situation and will not allow himself to get further involved in the war with ukraine, er, you know, russia actually has no allies er, and er, continuing the answer to your previous question regarding iran, i will just point out that er, this er will have very serious

consequences for iran uh, today he is already starting to personally threaten uh, ukrainian officials, in particular, the president, which shows that they also don't understand the consequences that will await iran after the victory over russia, it's just that all this will be postponed in time, but it will happen uh, one hundred percent, since should be with those who help the aggressor, that 's why in tehran, many people need to prepare themselves in relation to belarus, the situation is both more complicated and simpler. that is, we are really, you are absolutely right, you should not believe the industry that official minsk says because he is not responsible for what he says well, let's be, so to speak , objective and understand that lukashenko has not made any serious political decisions for a long time, and if putin decides that it is necessary to

attack ukraine from the territory of belarus, lukashenko will learn about it from reports newspapers or magazines or mass media in general. that is, no one will ask him, and therefore his statements in this regard mean nothing for us, this is just another reason to think whether everything is ready for the selection of russian aggression from the territory of belarus. lukashenka is a reason to think what will happen to him after that if he does not see the lord, i think that this is what determines his current position and he thought that he would not rush to side with the aggressor in this direct invasion, but would delay as much as possible this opportunity. and when it happens, he will say that i

was not standing here, well, at least when it comes to him, including co-responsibility before a specialized international tribunal , mr. volodymyr, at the very end of our program. i would like to ask you what you think about the statements of mr. shoigu and putin about the need to increase the army to one and a half million people, we know that over the past year this is the second increase in the number or size of the armed forces of the russian federation on february 24, the total number of the russian army the number was 1 million, then in august 150 million , now 1.5 million, they put the figure for 2023, what does that mean, that is, they want to crush us en masse and not only us, but the whole world, and what is this attempt to increase the army about in the current conditions what does this threaten or what

consequences will it have for the russian federation well, first of all, you can create a three-million army, why not, that is, from the formal grounds, so to speak. they have such an opportunity, and i i think you can record suvorovsky's listeners the scientists that they also asked about the russian army, the question is not that, uh, the question is that this army can do uh, how well is it prepared, because it has uh, everything that uh, nato does for the army. and these are different things because you can gather 100 people at some conscription point there and give them automatic weapons, but it will not mean at all that it will be a combat-ready platoon there or a company or battalion, and so similar to this, from the moment

of receiving weapons, there is a huge distance you can enroll as many people as you want in the army, but the question is that these people it is necessary to train these people, it is necessary to provide for these people, it is necessary, so to speak, to prepare for the fact that war is not a walk, this is a big psychological work, under such circumstances, when, uh, they will deconserve t-62 tanks issued in the 80s of the last century and when they do not have chips and they steal them from washing machines and microwave ovens for their missiles and against the background of the fact that sanctions will be strengthened, it seems to me that this is another political delusion in order to once again to tell our common people what we are a strong army in peace and we will fight with

the damned, we will know for ourselves, in my opinion there is nothing more behind it. thank you, mr. volodymyr, for the conversation. i wish you good health and all the best for the upcoming holidays, friends, this was a politician, a diplomat, the minister of foreign affairs of the affairs of ukraine in 2007-2009 volodymyr ogrysko for those who are now watching us live on youtube and facebook, please do not forget to like this video so that it advances in the trends of youtube and facebook, well, i wish everyone good health. take care of yourself and your family. we will see you on monday. bye. congratulations, this is the freedom of life. what is volodymyr zelenskyy returning from washington to kyiv with? did he manage to convince the most ardent skeptics in
