. my name is serhiy rudenko . good day and good health to all. today is the 302nd day of the heroic resistance of the ukrainian people to the russian occupiers. on december 22, the russian military launched two rocket attacks on kramatorsk, donetsk region, hitting a boarding school building. well, the ministry of defense of the russian federation showed how allegedly, shoigu is allegedly visiting the advanced positions of the russian occupiers on the eastern or southern front, meanwhile, the russian army continues to lose manpower and equipment in ukraine, as of the morning of december 22, russia has already lost 100,400 people in ukraine in the last day alone, the armed forces of ukraine

destroyed 660 orks at the beginning of the great war russia already lost in ukraine 33 tanks 5981 armored combat vehicles 1978 artillery systems 413 rocket salvo systems 212 air defense means 283 airplanes 267 helicopters 4615 units of automotive equipment, 16 ships, boats, 653 cruise missiles, 1,693 drones, 188 units of special equipment. so, biden announced putin's sentence in russia, burning from the visit of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, to washington, we will talk about this and other things during the next hour when the politician and diplomat minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 2007-2009 volodymyr hryshko mr. volodymyr good day

good health to you i am glad to see you on the air i congratulate you mr. serhiy i am also glad to see you and our dear tv viewers i wish everyone a good mood. i think we have reasons today for it to be a good one. beyond any doubt, first of all, we crossed the border, or rather, the russian occupiers crossed the border of 100,000 killed in ukraine. this is quite an important argument in ukraine in this war . and volodymyr zelenskyi's first visit since the full-scale invasion of russia to ukraine zelenskyi's first foreign visit uh first visit to the united states of america yesterday zelenskyi met with biden and yesterday uh or even tonight in kyiv time zelenskyi spoke at the congress from the united states of america joseph biden for certain

zelenskyi e that the united states and america will continue to support ukraine in the fight for the russian federation and biden emphasized that he is a believer ukraine will continue to defend peace we will hear and see biden i want to say that you are ready to a-a to a-a defend peace and unlike your er-e russian enemy and the united states will do everything so that the brave ukrainian people will defend their independence for as long as possible so, as long as it is necessary, our congress will continue this aid, and by signing a general budget law in the amount of some 45 billion dollars

dedicated to helping ukraine, in addition, additional aid through the system of the ministry of defense and in the supply of weapons equipment to mr. volodymyr. so, what does this visit and this meeting and these statements mean? that have been heard over the last day that the united states of america is ready to contribute to the ukrainian victory to the complete victory of ukraine over russia and to the point of putting an end to putin's regime. thank you, mr. serhiy the question is really er, so to speak , key and determining why because the americans were, are, remain, and i hope will remain our main strategic

ally and partner in kyiv, they provide us with the most er help in all directions and from the position of the united states of america a lot in why does it depend on how quickly we will win this moscow match, so definitely what happened yesterday and today is actually an extremely important event, i will tell you frankly that this is well, it seems to me that the best gift is what for of the numerous army of ukrainian diplomats, because today we congratulate all our diplomats on their professional holiday, and i think that this visit is his preparation. although she was very quick, she testified that ukrainian diplomacy, well, in the broad sense of this, is not only diplomats, it is definitely higher the political level is definitely

the parliamentary dimension of diplomacy, it is definitely the government's choice of diplomacy - it is public diplomacy, cultural diplomacy, the whole complex of all these components, but uh, this direction works, i think very, very much pose we certainly cannot say that we are succeeding in everything, but the progress with which ukrainian diplomats have changed public consciousness in the west is impressive, and today i take this opportunity to sincerely congratulate my fellow diplomats on this holiday because they proved that we can and we will lead the case to victory and the american partners will be with us, mr. volodymyr, we also congratulate you on the day of the diplomat and on the achievements and on which the

diplomacy of the most recent times was based you are in the status of minister of foreign affairs, you should continue to continue your diplomatic work, i mean diplomatic work , not in the service . arrived in washington on december 22, 1941, when the anti-hitler coalition had already begun to form, when he met with roosevelt in december, and the united states of america was attacked a few days before by the japanese navy in harbor and how far these analogies are appropriate and expedient in this situation.

to what extent are the people in this situation 81 years ago and now, how similar are they, and is it correct to draw these analogies in view of the possible ending of this story, or can there be exactly the same ending how was it 80 years or 85 years ago, thank you sergey well, i will say frankly that of course and it is a correct opinion that any analogies are slightly flawed because all these events that take place take place in completely different historical conditions, different players are different er, there are various factors related to those events that affect their course, but here i would talk more about a certain er symbolism, because if then humanity was fighting the brown plague of fascism, today we are all fighting an er kind of er

of this ugly ideology with racism and russian fascism, that's why i think that in this case, the analogy can really be in the sense that such a person is not a vyslin ideology and the practices that take place on the basis of these ideologies are doomed, that is, if not e created these e-e creatures like people, they are doomed to it that there are much more normal birch-minded objective people in the world than these freaks. sorry for the diplomatic style today, but that's just the way it is, that's why the analogy can be a cons in the fact that definitely racism is prejudicial and how much more they didn't try to launch rockets at a ukrainian, no matter how many more they destroyed the hpp or

high-voltage power lines there, it's still just agony, so i think that the analogy will be without a doubt russian fascists will be defeated, how will everything happen here again, it depends on one of two factors, on the heroism of our armed forces and on the ability of our western partners to help our armed forces as much as possible to speed up this brown, but already with a russian flavor, fascist hydra on the screen . during the meeting with president biden, zelenskyi said that his visit to the united states of america indicates that we are in control of the situation, meaning ukraine , and in turn, joseph biden announced that america is providing ukraine with a battery of anti-aircraft missile systems, patriot, let's we will hear and see how it was. it is a great

honor for me to be here. the fact that i have arrived now means that we are in control of the situation, and this is primarily thanks to your support . on behalf of all ukrainians, i want to express my sincere gratitude to you, mr. president, for your great support and leadership. support and from our common people to your common people americans it is an honor for us to be on your side in the brutal war unleashed by russia the attack on ukraine's right to exist as a state continues the united states of america proudly support the brave 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 mr. volodymyr are usually 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 those models that are currently used by the armies of nato member countries, and you asked a question in two areas, i.e. the first one. i think it is obvious to everyone. we should at this stage use the most modern e-e 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 the swamps are already howling from the fact that in a few weeks, because we are talking about the weeks in which our specialists must master this weapon, the chances of the rashists to do what they are doing today will be very, very little, and this means that the next trump on which they expected that we would give up due to lack of electricity he will be beaten again, and in this regard, the more we have such systems or similar systems, the less the russians will

have such capabilities in relation to nato, so in fact, ukraine is mastering the nakhiv types of weapons, it is becoming an integral part of the alliance , that is, how said our minister e. preznikov, 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 that experience that the alliance will use for its exercises after that how ukraine will win this war. so we are already from that e, if we were only the recipient, that is, the recipient of some information, experience, we will soon become the country that will transfer its experience and which other countries and members of the alliance will use already e 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 there was information again that french president macron is once again the new one shouted some, well, what about me, well , 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, frankly , i can’t react to it, if again and in uh, the president of france starts talking about some uh things that go against common sense, uh, if he still can't understand that the current russia is a threat to himself and his

country, then it's just surprising why uh for er country which er plays not the last role in world global security it is er it's a mystery why there in france in paris they can't 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's a war criminal and all the junta around me he is his henchmen their place for now and what will happen after putin we will figure it out ourselves even without france i think that we will have enough for this all other opportunities and to say that ukraine will not be a member of the alliance because someone in moscow does not like this is playing on the sidelines moscow let's talk about it with absolute sincerity . i'm very surprised that the french president

is starting to talk about some kind of autonomy within the framework of nato. because you can just remind him who liberated france from the fascist plague, it wasn't that long ago . to 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, there was also about german, about the german government and so on and so on, but that's not it there was no solution of the french people, these were the same scum that exist in every nation. why does he forget about this and why does he think that the americans are some kind of uh, well, at least an opposition to european unity, and no, the americans ensure the security of europe. well, if not for france, then in any case for other countries which 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, he literally said this with this russia, this is hard to imagine, he means the accession of ukraine donata but whether ukraine will join nato, which is not the most likely scenario, or not, it needs to be given a security guarantee. especially since it has suffered aggression from russia, well, it is quite strange that macron’s position has been from the very beginning of the war and, uh, constant flirting with putin on what does the french have to do with this, or why do the french constantly appeal to putin and try to see peace in his eyes, or at least some steps towards making some concessions to the european and including the ukrainian

community of the community on anti-americanism, which was very actively and skillfully fueled by moscow all these years after the collapse of the so-called socialist camp, then after the collapse of the ussr, and so on and so on , that is, moscow constantly played 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 if it's average too it's its own game for some countries to be against others among them 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 nato does not need this thing will be implemented. well, thank god, er, not trump

, er, alone decides what to do, america has, er, a decision-making mechanism in this country, and it was stopped but well, it doesn't mean that moscow has stopped, it has simply changed the ways of implementing this plan, and unfortunately , a whole generation of politicians has formed in europe, who for some reason believe that america is their friend. at least i repeat again since america is protecting europe from these mature russian liberators and scumbags, and not only he should know that, but i would really like him to come back from these clouds about i glorify russian culture because of the fact that russia is

eternal and it does not change to real land , and he really said there that there will be no more russia after the victory of ukraine, and before that, all the honorable leaders of the event must already prepare now and not sit and talk about what will happen later we will see later well, then this means that the path is not of visionaries, but the path of people who look like ostriches who have buried their heads in the sand and do not want to see anything that is happening around them, this is very, very strange for the leader of such a country as france, friends, we are working live on the espresso tv channel as well as in our social networks e.e. in particular on facebook and also on youtube for those who are currently 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 sponsor button there 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, the president of ukraine, speaking at the congress, thanked the congressmen and americans for their support, and the speaker of the house of representatives nancy nancy pilosi announced the next round of aid to ukraine, let's see how it went, thank you very much for the invitation, it's a great privilege to be here to address the congress and all americans, it's a great honor for me the us congress is a great friend of the ukrainian people and the freedom of our country. when the congress prepares another important round of security humanitarian and economic aid. i hope it will happen within 48 hours

. 44 billion dollars have been pledged, part of which will go to weapons, which will be given to ukraine, part of which will be for some project related to the ukrainian state, well, considering this big money who are going to provide an official washington to ukraine and the phase in which we are now in the russian-ukrainian war. of course, this causes uh-uh russians uh- huh irritation and they start saying that we are already directly at war with the active states of america because if not the united states of america would have had peace with ukraine a long time ago, this is the pace of the

peace topic, or why did zelenskyi, zelensky, 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, what happened now in washington is truly unprecedented . let me remind you that 300 million was the standard military aid from the usa to ukraine, but in these previous years it was sometimes 250, sometimes up to 270, and so on . well

, it's not just a different order of numbers. and it's uh well, it can be compared to a certain extent with the military budget of russia, because there are 60 and a half billion dollars, here are 44. you can see the reaction in moscow to such things. they are really crazy because they understand that if all this money is so so to speak, transformed into weapons, at the same time, weapons that will allow ukraine not only to defend itself, but also to hit their comrades, then this will mean that these mobs or chmobics have no chance. you are you armed with a kalashnikov assault rifle or a sapper blade? with such weapons, you

won’t do anything against modern types such as hymers, such as uh, attack and so on . uh, that's why the reaction is really uh, they didn't expect this, they didn't understand what this could be, and now they just have to invent some kind of another delusion, uh, which once again, uh, he carried away with the sand, declaring that it turns out that russia is for peace. here are the bad americans, the ukrainians, they started a business everything is probably normal for the russian population, which has been dumbed down. 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 40,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 . such as cattails, for example, or something like that, my friends. so, what is this, actually, there is no sensation here, there is no question, only that i think that this is the most important result of the visit, that after all , republicans and democrats, of course democrats to a greater extent, because not all republicans are, so to speak, delighted with such help, let's say so, but one way or another, two-way support will be another thing, which we also need. i think in our current conversation with the americans, we should emphasize on the fact that not only they but also we are interested in that
