stopped the russians. i don't remember where it came from, but the bridge in the novel became such a symbol of ukrainian resistance through which people and animals were evacuated. it was a huge pile of destroyed cars, and then it turned into just a bridge. well, for the information of eyewitnesses, sometimes even without observing all the formalities regarding the issue of these weapons there, but this was very important in order to stop the possibility of a breakthrough of the drg and ukraine by the russian military so that they knew that the population of kyiv ms. valevska is armed. how do you assess the situation in kyiv, but there are two points that are important. we broadcasted the journal, the community is clear that this is all, and

experts and political scientists don't believe it. well, it was kind of strange, yes, but on the other hand, we knew, but we didn't prepare like that . they did not believe there the terror defense that was formed, it was formed in an absolutely emergency regime both in kyiv and in sumy and in the border communities that were the first to meet in chernihiv oblast, so if so, i gave from the trucks because, for example, on the 24th, it turned out that all the weapons were hidden from the kyiv terror defense and the story was closed about the fact that in general the law enforcement agencies of the security service of ukraine and all these institutions, which were at least stable weapons that at least knew how to use them elementary, simply did not exist at the time of the invasion, that is, they were warned and how it was later called correctly, as it was earlier

, the dislocation was changed. i am talking about the fact that, after all, kyiv is like a heart that chose the path not to obey, but to fight . so much it showed such a strong system in the emergency mode crystallized and forced kyiv forced i mean now the management of the control center forced to become just as strong to respond to reflect exactly what chernihiv region sumy region is heroic okhtyrka, as well as trostyanets, which was under occupation, is the konotopsky district, the fact that they stopped this column on the way to kyiv, the fact that kyiv chose the way to fight and they saw it, that kyiv was preparing, this is exactly what

saved us since we were there for a second from the fact that kyiv was taken there in three days, this is the phenomenon that if kyiv had not resisted , then nothing would have happened. well, it is clear, we can say as much as we want that it is possible to carry partisan military equipment, but the truth is that if kyiv had not resisted, it would not have resisted in ukraine well, let's talk about the sad consequences of this invasion of the kyiv region, of course. well, it's a huge tragedy what the russians did when they left and when we saw these victims, when we saw those people who were just lying murdered on the streets of irpen, irpen, buchi gostomel with their hands tied, shot tortured, a huge number of victims there, up to a thousand people of the civilian population were simply destroyed and shot when, well, the tragedy probably spread around these frames and

this video, the whole world understood what this is. for a day, militarization, what is this, well, this is an ordinary genocide of people, an ordinary genocide of ukrainians in bucha, taken separately, in irpin, gostomel taken separately , eh, russians absolutely have to bear the punishment, remember how they said, we will hit the center of acceptance, it is decided and so when we see when people just came out of their houses and they were killed in their own way at the entrance of the house near the yard, that's because ukrainians are the centers of decision-making, you understand, but in russia there are 11 oppositions, one of the kingdoms decides, and here and this it was obvious that the decision-making centers are all ukrainians, that's why they kill civilians, that's why they didn't do enough, when they realized that people were resisting, people, why are we

happy to see that we don't meet them and don't want to be part of russia, they hated us even more well, and one more thing one symbol of this resistance is a destroyed dream, the largest cargo plane in gostomel during the actual battles and the war as our protection of the airfield in gostomel. battles for gostomel. maria was destroyed. unfortunately, the leadership of ukroboronprom, which owned this plane, evacuated it, knowing about a possible russian attack the day before, having this information, it was not destroyed in the same way. well, it probably turns out that they warned that the sit-down would be in gostomel , and even he was supposed to take off. but after lunch on february 24, for some reason, not in the morning at four in the morning, for example, or the day before, namely after lunch, the truth is that the russians counted on the fact that internal energy would help some of their own here, they said that someone would

provide them with green street, and it didn't work out, here it was o including in the leadership according to ukroboronprom, corruption is russian , because all the loot that they poured in here over the years, kay invested, yes, they even stimulate the completion, but for me personally, well, maybe this is my city, so i sometimes want to say about it there that when in the first days of the war, we are often in pani valevska conducted the broadcasts, and our mayor and angelika oleksandr markushin were included in our broadcasts. and who said when everyone was already saying that irpin is enthusiastic, he says no, don't believe irpin is not enthusiastic irpin is fighting, we are fighting for irpin we are defending ourselves, we are already at war with the russians, and we were looking at what the lord thinks, well, how is it possible there is a huge influx of equipment there, what can we do, irpin is resisting , and at that time it was difficult to believe that irpin could

fight back, that kyiv could fight back, kyiv could it and then everything was thanks to those people who believed to the last, knew and convinced us that no, we are resisting, and the final victory will be ours, that is, no, you should never lose hope and faith in your own strength, resist to the last like that frog which i thought that it was cream or sour cream, and then it became butter. she saved herself. and i want to thank all the mayors and heads of communities. these are the strong centers thanks to which the main center stood, well, the truth is, everyone expected that they would put their feet up somewhere, run away, go away, and there will be no local self-government, it was under occupation under the occupation, it was there somewhere or they left, there were some who remained, but it was working and people were told that everything is fine, we are fighting, we stick to it, like absolutely everyone, the date of

april 2 of the official decree that the whole of kyiv region is freed from the russian occupiers, amen, in addition to the military victories that we had how many in 10 months is the full-scale war of russia against ukraine, and i am sure that our main victory over russia will be complete soon, but we also had many diplomatic victories in these 10 months, and above all, this is our euro-atlantic integration. we since the 1990s, of course, we have been joining the eu and nato . this course was constitutionally established in 2019. but it seems to me that we started to work on it most actively after the change of power, when ex-president yanukovych fled, when the euromaidan revolution of dignity took place, all ukrainians demonstrated their position regarding the fact that we we want to be members of the european union and nato, and of course, since 2014

, we have started actively working to implement reforms and so on in this direction, also among the main ones is the international ramstein coalition for military aid and support ukraine, which has really become such a special helper for us, because there 43 countries of the world gather every time to provide us with financial military aid, and every time the most important thing is that it is reinforced and strengthened. this aid is already provided to us with the weapons that we need, we will talk about this in more detail later as well it is impossible not to mention the unblocking of our ports and the grain agreement, because if this had not happened, many countries of the world would simply have suffered a real famine, and we could not allow this, thanks to the un and

turkey managed to sign this agreement in istanbul more details about the army of nato standards about military assistance from our western partners and the image of ukraine that was formed during these 10 months of full-scale war, let's look at the plot from the beginning of the full-scale attack of russia on ukraine, the partners did not believe that we were standing up and with the first victories of the armed forces of ukraine , the position of western leaders has changed, now ukraine is fighting against russia, nato -standard weapons, foreign countries provide billions of dollars of support to president zelenskyi called the leader of the free world, the anti-russian coalition includes more than 50 countries in the world that support ukraine and condemn russian aggression, that is the number of countries that took part in the defense of the rammstein meeting. for comparison, in 1943, the anti-hitler coalition was supported by 51 countries . rammstein 8 will be held in january, according to the plan, more will join the format several

countries, according to the minister of defense , do not have any partners with ukraine, partners today very much want to continue to be partners in this victory, and they are the opposite are rooting for us and they clearly tell me every time oleksiy, we are proud and you inspire us and we will be with you until the end of this war until your victory, no matter what it is for us, on august 23, 2022, the second sam from the crimean platform took place in kyiv, in which almost 60 countries and organizations took part, representatives from africa and latin america joined for the first time, the deoccupation of crimea is increasingly heard in the materials of the western media, nbc news reports that in the usa they are talking about the presence of military potential in ukraine to liberate the temporarily occupied peninsula however, washington is still afraid that putin will start a nuclear war after such a step. after february 24, the eu introduced nine packages of

sanctions against the russian federation, in particular, they set a ceiling price for russian oil at $60 per barrel, until the ban on russian gas was resolved, but russia itself stops its supply to unfriendly countries. in other words, almost all civilized sanctions were imposed by the big seven, the united states, britain and japan. russia became the world leader in the number of restrictions of more than 9,000 - adopted together from 2014 in this aspect by the russian federation broke the records of syria, north korea, and iran. on june 23, 27 member states of the european union said yes to ukraine as a candidate for accession. at the same time, the european commission provided seven blocks of reforms to advance towards full membership in the verkhovna rada, laws on the media of national minorities and competitive selection have already been adopted. judges to the constitutional court in the spring in the eu will conduct an assessment of ukraine's fulfillment of the european commission's requirements

, the fulfillment of the seven recommendations is very important , first of all, for the modernization of ukraine itself and of the further process of european integration, but at the same time this does not mean the automatic start of negotiations with the eu. as you know, this requires a unanimous decision of the council of the european union, which will be the first step for the start of discussions by all member countries. we appreciate the speed with which ukraine carries out reforms, but it is also important that this there were high-quality solutions and appropriate laws so that they would not have to be changed for this mination detector, the ukrainian authorities hope to move to the next stage of opening accession negotiations in 2023. and this about 400 laws that need to be passed progress will depend on reforms and the security situation after the russian attack ukrainian seaports were blocked kyiv could not export agricultural products because of which some african countries were on the brink of starvation on

july 22 thanks to the personal efforts of un secretary general antónio guterres and turkish president erdogan the movement of ukrainian the vessels managed to be renewed, the parties supported the grain initiative, which unblocked the operation of the odessa chornomorsk and pivdenny ports. at the same time, ukraine refused to conclude an agreement directly with russia and signed it only with the un and turkey, despite moscow's constant shelling of ukraine and the kremlin's statement about withdrawing from this initiative. relations with african countries in october, for the first time the minister of foreign affairs, dmytro kuleba , went on an official visit to the countries of the continent, as a result, some african countries support ukraine during the un general assembly vote, and morocco provides spare parts

to t-72 tanks this is the first military aid from an african country valery pashko espresso tv channel so, in 2015 we started reforms on the way to the european union, we were given many recommendations and set criteria according to eu documents that we must fulfill in order to join the family of countries of the european union olya what do you think we have succeeded in with the reforms since 2015 and why not all of us were able to decide on this way to implement european legislation and there anti-corruption reform by the courts reform in general, the democracy of freedom of speech in our country also has certain violations, and it is with these fundamental values. well, you know, somewhere from the 20th year, in general, everything has

slowed down a little bit. eh, eh, how did part of the political elite live, that at the price of slowing down the advancement of nato, the eu can be postponed or , in general, neutralized by the russian threat, let's not be there, let's not provoke, let's not do anything there , and then they won't they will also attack, that is this is what we lived with until february 24, at february 24 , it just ended now, well , of course, we have never had such an advancement in nato as now. that is, we know that by effectively entering nato, simply because of the fact that we use them weapons due to

the fact that we have to implement practices, that is, in fact, our army is already integrated into nato as such, as such a force that fights in order to further integrate the country for the army, of course we will have to do a lot more because it is nothing here. well impossible to do with the fact that during wars are happening, there are certain inhibitions of any reforms, you cannot very often carry out reforms and save the country at the same time, because reforms also require discussions, this is true, otherwise they will not be of high quality , war requires quick decisions and discussions are harmful, this is an objective reality, and why this understanding faded away, but the understanding came that reforms are something that was first associated with the predecessors. for some reason, if poroshenko or groysman did it, then i can’t do it.

reforms, there was no understanding that reforms are the right way to survive, well, to survive physically, that is, to move away from wild russia and go to a normal , sterilized people. well, i can only say here, maybe it's a little rude, yes, because you weren't going outside the russian er-e measures russian peace will be that's all, colleagues, our vice prime minister for european integration olga stefanishyna says that we will be able to join the eu even if the war is not over yet. do you believe that such a thing is possible ? opportunities was opened and it is now open, it is a fact that we have already become an official candidate for the european union, and if it were not for this terrible war, we would have received this status for years, and perhaps for the 50th anniversary, we now accepted it in a very accelerated budget for 30 years, and we literally called the date when in the 19th year, 30

years in the native country, and then 20-30 years after the status of a candidate for almost 30 years, maybe i am not so wrong or more, see the window of opportunity to open and i think that it is now everything depends on us on the real implementation what we promised, first of all judicial reform, we must have fair courts. this is the most important thing that ukraine needs now. if there are fair courts, then everything else will follow. well, this is my personal opinion. maybe someone and the position is possible. to the north atlantic treaty organization and i believe that they saw this video on september 30. we will clarify this year's joint application of the ukrainian president. we can once again repeat the ukrainian prime minister and the speaker of the ukrainian parliament to of the north atlantic alliance here, i think that we can count on a faster stage

of accession, that is, procedures, here is a video that we will become a member of nato faster than members of the european union, but what we have today in terms of euro-atlantic european economic integration i consider a certain achievement. well , it's not the first year of the war in our country. let's put it this way. well, we've been at war since 2014, and there was an opinion that ukraine, which is in a state of war and will not join nato, do you think that now it is the full-scale invasion that has replaced our it can be a day of victory when ukraine joins nato tomorrow, there will be effects, well, will it be too much with such powerful ambitions? and here are the functions that existed before this war, because we see new formats that already exist, for example, the same rammstein. so this is an anti-putin coalition that is possible we are growing, let's add something more, we will

talk, you know, it's just all fine and our candidacy and our application and our aspiration, but all our european partners still see the level of corruption, unfortunately , which remains in our country even in in the conditions of the war, how in our region does the head of the region receive a state order worth billions of hryvnias and gives his company a fitness trainer, how in other regions, huge amounts of humanitarian aid are stolen from us, provided by the west, and no one reacts to any of it in any way the head of the region, no other, and there are no decisions on the topic, the more court cases there are, how many expensive cars and rich ukrainians drive around vienna and monaco? well, not only ukrainian journalists see this, but our same mignon macron i think he is watching yes what is happening in ukraine and how the ukrainian rich feel great at football or the cool carlo or monaco or the integration

process from the eu and nato is somewhat different in my opinion because the eu has specific criteria for joining and nato there are no such criteria. then, as for the members, we may become a member , but still, there is no political decision on the country’s accession to nato. but if ukraine wins, of course, when i do. well, when we do, we believe in it, but in the western partners. it seems that it is not possible enough for fifty-five people, but if god forbid, we will lose this war with russia. it seems to me the way. i think that the children are just nato and it will not be like that, it will not be like that at all , but because it was too declared if security is the main function - it is security the world and the claims were there for global security, and in fact we just see, uh, you see our local level, and the world is already much wider, and there are geopolitical processes that are

going on in the size of not today, but today, i am there, in the size of 10 years of our century since february months before the new year, the war in ukraine managed to unite a huge number of allied countries, partners and countries that directly support us with money and military aid . exclusively for partisan warfare well, the airplanes of afghanistan, the mujahideen in the mountains of afghanistan, so today ukraine receives a huge amount of modern weapons for a full-fledged army that is conducting a full-fledged non-partisan war and with each of every day the level of military aid, i.e. the level of these weapons is higher, higher, higher, this is natural, because in order to receive

such a level of aid, you must show at every level that you are ready , first of all, you are ready for the child of help, on april 26, the first rammstein is already for everyone rammstein passed and this aid changed very much in the best case, but what do you think it depended on? precisely on our successes at the front or maybe some specific diplomatic agreements. here he is in fate, and i think it is, you know what, uh, and are ready in general notice how much the general tone has changed, as if the tone of what is happening at what point did we start the war on the question of whether the authorities of ukraine want to negotiate with putin on their own outside of europe outside of the united states outside of the president let's let's give up nato for in order to guarantee some kind of

security there. well, that was it, well , did nato negotiate, there will be no bases, there will be no supply of weapons, and this will guarantee us security, it is march 29 in general, so this is the moment when they already began to retreat from kyiv for a minute. that's all. there was also a question. when the question is asked about weapons, yes. sorry, until march 29, these negotiations went before that. was it possible to hope that we would receive some serious weapons if there was no certainty that we were ready not to capitulate ? whether our ambassadors in germany with the minister of finance surrender to germany when in germany in the first days of the invasion, give us weapons, give us financial aid, as if the german minister said and why a few more hours and everything will be

over with ukraine why should you help it was an attitude in general, i think that it was a collective one of the european union and nato towards ukraine in the first days. i don't want us to think that this attitude came out, you know, in some kind of vacuum , it was taken, it was not taken in a vacuum, there were certain actions before him that made us think that way, what is it in general perhaps in order to completely remove this question now the question is completely different now and this must also be recognized so when we say that is an achievement of diplomacy so it is an achievement of diplomacy also including that during these months she simply proved to everyone that we will not go on negotiations, we are not going to capitulate, there is no option for an agreement for us in the option when we lose some territories there or we start trading sovereignty there. it all had to be

proved. in principle, we also understand this, but all the same, of the more than forty countries that participate and directly in the rammstein coalition, they all provide in different ways, we see military aid, someone does not provide heavy weapons oh, no. what do you think about countries like spain and portugal? they help us, but not to the full extent, as far as they can, not to the full capacity. how to convince them, but we have to understand that for each country, the first interests are - these are our national interests, and we are the same, and when there were wars in other countries, for example, chechnya, we didn’t particularly run there either, we didn’t help and didn’t say “gods” to you, people are killed here, hospitals are also shelled after all, the same scenarios give birth to houses, the scene is civil objects, people, everything is the same. well, with the struggles of the world

, it was also convenient to think that it was just russia there inside its own country, somehow there, it was bringing order, it was fighting terrorists. well, let's admit it, too, and now we are also paying for our attack on the position of -e latentnu e ot and the fact that each country has its own certain reserves, they can afford to give a certain amount to someone. and when it turned out in germany that they did not have very large reserves at all. so when the war started in us and they, oh my god, it is already here also we need to prepare or right here berlin is not so far from kyiv yes here warsaw is right here and berlin and russia maybe children children that's why we ca n't say that they are so bad they don't help us we thank everyone, i don't want to belittle the achievements of our diplomats of course but i think that the ukrainians, the ukrainian people , convince everyone to count with us at all, well , every day this conviction

happened, it is clear that the armed forces of ukraine, our guys, very quickly learned to use this technique to work in emergency regimes and ukrainian people, when people used to go out, you just remember in kherson, in konotop, on tanks in sneakers with handles and they showed that well, you can't help us. thank you very much . can we not discuss it, the unblocking of the ports happened thanks to the un from istanbul, colleagues, what do you think , there was a period when putin specifically said that i will not participate, i will not take part, we will block , but then somehow he changed his mind. at that moment, he already wanted to negotiate and, in principle, hoped that this would be a way to put kyiv at the negotiating table and bargain for something, but this is

nothing else, there is absolutely no need to invent anything here, and the second is that we forced the snake to leave, that is, it became an attack on odesa is impossible at all, an amphibious assault on odesa has become impossible , let’s take it as a word, the mountains supported him, he really didn’t want to demonstrate his ability to negotiate that he’s not so bad, he can be a benefactor. he can be a peace dove and not a war hawk and he wanted is to find some additional ally in the person of the president of turkey during these agreements, well, really, i don't think that it was his good will. well, for sure, murderers of criminals of good will. it can't be purely economic interest, because in fact our farmers earned much less than they could to make money on this grain and if before the war we had there because 20% of gdp was given by currency, which measures
