form and so on in this direction, also among the main ones is the international rammstein coalition for military aid to support ukraine, which has really become such a special assistant for us, because there 43 countries of the world gather every time to provide us with financial military aid and each time , the most important thing is that it is strengthened and strengthened. this is help. we are already provided with the weapons we need . we would simply get a real famine and we could not allow this and thanks to the un and turkey managed to sign this agreement in istanbul more details a about the army of nato standards

about military aid 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 would stand 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 with nato weapons standard, foreign countries provide billions of dollars of support, and president zelenskyi is 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 how many countries took part in the defense of the rammstein meeting, for comparison, in 1943, the anti-hitler coalition was supported by 51 countries already in in january, rammstein 8 will take place according to the plan, several more countries will join the format, according to the minister of defense, there is no fatigue from ukraine, the partners have no partners

today, they very much want to continue to be partners in this victory, and on the contrary, they cheer 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, where the occupation of crimea is increasingly heard in the materials of western changes. nbc news reports that in the usa they are talking about the presence of military potential in ukraine to liberate the temporarily occupied peninsula, but washington is still afraid that putin will start a nuclear war after such a step. on february 24, the eu introduced nine packages of sanctions against the russian federation, in particular, they set a maximum price for russian oil at $60 per barrel, until

the ban was resolved on russian gas, however , russia itself stops its supply to unfriendly countries. that is , sanctions have been imposed on almost all civilized countries by the big seven, that is, the united states, great britain and japan. with the number of restrictions over 9,000 adopted together since 2014, in this aspect 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 . of full membership in the verkhovna rada have already adopted laws on the media of national minorities and the competitive selection of judges to the constitutional court in the spring in the eu will conduct an assessment of ukraine's compliance with the requirements of the european commission , the implementation of seven recommendations is very important primarily for the modernization of ukraine itself and

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 conducts reforms, but it is also important that these are high-quality solutions and appropriate laws so that they do not have to be changed later, the ukrainian authorities hope to move to the next stage of opening in 2023 negotiations on accession and this is about 400 laws that need to be adopted, progress will depend on reforms and the security situation after the attack by russia, ukrainian seaports were blocked, kyiv could not export agricultural products, because of which some african countries were on the verge of starvation on july 22, thanks to the personal efforts of un secretary general antonio guterres and of the president of turkey

erdoğan, the movement of ukrainian ships managed to resume, the parties supported the grain initiative, which unblocked the work of the ports of odesa chornomorsk and pivdenny vodnochas 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 statements about withdrawing from this initiative . europe ukraine began to develop 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 supported ukraine during the vote of the un general assembly, and morocco hands over spare parts for t-72 tanks. this is the first military aid from an african country

. 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 have been able to decide on this path to sometimes implement european legislation and there, anti-corruption reform by the courts, reform in general, democracy, freedom of speech, we also have certain violations, and with these fundamental values. with some

kind of myth that part of the political elite lived that at the price of slowing down the advancement of nato, the eu could be postponed or even neutralized the russian threat that let's not be there, let's not provoke, let's not let's do anything there do and then they will not attack either, well, 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 advance in nato like now. that is, we, you know , effectively entered nato simply in fact , in fact, in the fact that we use their weapons, in the fact that, uh, 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 as an army, of course we will have to do a lot more many what to do because it is nothing here well, it is impossible to do with the fact that during the war there is a certain inhibition of any reforms, you cannot very often carry out reforms and save the country at the same time because the reforms also require discussion, that is true, otherwise they will not happen qualitatively , war requires quick decisions and discussions are harmful, this is an objective reality. but why did this understanding fade away, but the understanding that reforms are something that was first associated with the predecessors came? i can't implement it, it wo n't happen to me, because it's reform - it's there that for the sake of reforms there was no understanding of what reforms are - this is the direct way to survive, well, physically survive, that is, to

move away from wild russia and go to normal , stilted people well, i can only say here maybe that's a little rude, yes, because you weren't going outside of the russian world, the russian world will be and that's it, our colleagues , the vice-prime minister for european integration, olga stefanishyna, says that we will be able to join the eu even if there is a war not yet do you believe that such a thing is possible well, i think that the window of opportunity has 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, maybe 50 - in the summer, we accepted this in a very accelerated budget for 30 years, we waited and called the date literally when in the 19th year, 30 years in the native country, and then 20-30 years after the status of a candidate, you are waiting like this for almost 30

years, maybe i am not mistaken or more look at the window of opportunity to open and i think that it is now everything depends on the real implementation of what we promised, first of all judicial reform, we must have honest courts this is the most important thing that ukraine needs now, if there are honest courts, then everything else will follow well, but this is my personal opinion maybe someone and the position is possible someone thinks differently much faster, it seems to me that our promotion to the north atlantic union will be here and i believe in this they saw this video is on september 30, specially ironed by students this year we can once again repeat the application of the ukrainian president to the ukrainian prime minister and the speaker of the ukrainian parliament for joining the north atlantic alliance, here i think that we can count on a faster stage of accession, that is, the procedures, here is the video that we will become nato faster than members of the

european union, but also i consider what we currently have in terms of euro-atlantic european economic integration to be a certain achievement. and you used to think that way. well , this is not the first year of the war. the opinion that he is ukraine, which is in a state of war, and donato will not take it. do you think that now it is the full-scale invasion that has changed our victory can be the day when ukraine joins nato tomorrow, will there be effects, or is it too much with such powerful ambitions and here are the functions that were before this war because we see new formats that already exist, for example, the same rammstein. so this is the anti-putin coalition, which we may outgrow. let's give something to nato.

aspiration and european partners still see the level of corruption, unfortunately, which remains in our country even in war conditions. how in our region the head of the region keeps a state order worth billions of hryvnias and transfers fitness trainers to his company there, as in other regions it is stolen from us huge amounts of humanitarian aid provided by the west , and no one reacts in any way to a single head of the region or to another, and there are no personnel decisions, the more there are court cases, the more expensive cars of the rich ukrainians travel around vienna and monaco. well, not only ukrainian journalists see this, but our same macron. i think he is watching what is happening in ukraine and how the rich ukrainians feel great at football or the same integration process from the eu and nato is somewhat different in my opinion because the eu has specific criteria for joining and nato

does not have such criteria. by the way, there is an action plan for membership, but it is already blurred. it is only a political decision for ukraine to join nato, and it is not there yet, but if ukraine wins of course, when we believe in it, but in our western partners, it seems to me that it is not possible for the 50-year-old to be enough, but if god forbid, we will lose this war with russia. it seems to me that there is a way. declared that if security is the main function - it is global security, there were claims for global security, and well, in fact, we just see, uh, you see our local level, and the world is already much wider, and there are geopolitical processes that go to the extent that there are not today at today i am there in the size of decades of a century

, anyway, for these how many years have we had from february to the new year of the war in ukraine, we managed to unite around us a huge, huge number of countries that are allies, partners and countries that directly support us with money and military aid, if at the beginning the invasion was only given to us, i’m sorry, that there is a maximum of stingari, that is, the weapon is intended exclusively for partisan warfare . well, the planes of afghanistan, the mujahideen in the mountains of afghanistan, that’s how it is today, ukraine receives a huge amount of modern weapons for a full-fledged army that is waging a full-fledged non-partisan war, and every day the level of military aid, that is, the level of this weapon is higher, higher, higher, higher, it is a natural help, because you have to show at every level what you are ready to do first

, are you ready for this help? on april 26, the first rammstein has already been played by rammstein, and this help changed a lot in the best case scenario, but what do you think it depended on? maybe some kind of diplomatic agreements. so, to olya, and i think that you know that er and are ready, in general, notice how much has changed in general, it seems like er, the tone, what is happening, at what point did we start the war on the question doesn't the government of ukraine want to negotiate with putin on its own outside of europe outside of the united states outside of the president let's give up nato in order to guarantee some security there

let's go here, there will be no nato training, there will be no bases, there will be no supply of weapons, and this guarantees us that it is safe on march 29, in general, so this is the moment when they already began to retreat from kyiv for a minute. that was all and the question. when the question is asked about weapons, yes i'm sorry, until march 29, that's how far these negotiations went. was it possible to hope that we would receive some serious weapons if there was no certainty that we were ready not to capitulate ? in the first the days of the invasion, give us weapons, give us financial aid, as if the minister said in german and why a few more hours and everything will be over with ukraine why should you help , this was the attitude in general, i think that the collective attitude of the european union and nato to ukraine in the

first culture i want us to think that this attitude came out, you know, in some kind of vacuum, it took place, it did not take place in a vacuum, there were certain actions in front of him that made him think that this is even possible and 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 it is an achievement of diplomacy. so it is an achievement of diplomacy, including that over the past few months, she has simply proved to everyone that we will not go to negotiations. we are not going to capitulate for us. the version of the agreement in the version 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 40 countries that participate directly in the rammstein coalition, all of them provide in different ways, we see military aid, some do not provide heavy weapons . there, spain, 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 must understand that the first interests of each country are its own national interests, and between us themselves and when there was a war in other countries, yes for example, chechnya, we weren't there either, we didn't particularly run, we didn't help and we didn't say, oh my god , people are being killed, they are shelling hospitals , the same way, the same scenarios are used, the houses, the scene, the civilian objects , the people, everything is the same. well, the fight against these cities showdowns between russia and the world, it was also convenient to think

that it was just russia inside its own country. it is bringing order, bringing order, fighting terrorists. well, let's admit it too, and now we are also paying for our otaku po- position eh latent eh 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 our country and they, oh my god , it is already here, too, you have to prepare or here well, berlin is not so far from kyiv. yes, warsaw is right here, and berlin and russia are also there, and we can get there, so we cannot say that they are so bad, they do not help us. we thank everyone, i do not want to belittle the achievements of our diplomats, of course but i think that the ukrainians, the ukrainian people, convince everyone to count on us at all, well, every day this conviction happened, it is clear that the armed forces of ukraine, our guys very quickly learned to work with this equipment in

emergency situations and when people went out, you just remember in kherson, in konotop, on tanks in sneakers from the chest, and they showed that well, you cannot help us. thank you very much, we still have a few minutes, literally, on the topic of the grain agreement, but we cannot but discuss it, unblocking the ports it happened thanks to the un from istanbul, colleagues, what do you think, there was a period when putin already specifically said that i will not participate, i will not participate, we will block, but then he somehow changed his mind. to negotiate and in principle hope that this will 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 impossible

in general, an attack on odesa, an amphibious assault on odesa became impossible, in fact he no longer wanted to demonstrate his ability to negotiate that he is not so bad, he can be a benefactor. he may be a peace dove and not a war hawk, and he wanted to find some additional ally in the person of the president of turkey during of these agreements, well, i really don’t think that it was his good will. well, surely the killers of criminals of good will cannot have a pure economic interest, because in reality our farmers earned much less than they could to make money from this grain, and if before the war we had 20% of gdp there, it was the currency that came in thanks to the agrarians, thanks to the grain , they very much entered the world markets, now what we sold was much less. the price

was, we talked on our broadcast about what the price of ukrainian grain for wheat, in particular in ukraine, is now around 180 dollars per ton, and where it crosses already because it creates barriers, 360 becomes twice $360, because our vessels are blocked, these inspections are carried out for a long time and not such a volume as can now this is a systematic one. and that the war of economic destruction is also a part of this colleague. thank you very much for the conversation with this topic . we will finish and then we will talk about the kherson operation to liberate the south. yes, kherson in general is a very special story because it is a city that was so pivotal. i think even in a few moments the first is that it was a city when, well, in fact, it is the only regional center that the russians managed to capture , it was the only one that was occupied, and it was here that the russians

realized that there would be no flowers on the armor that is, at all, and it was all the more surprising for them, because this whole country, that the south is russian cities, russian people, only wreaths , only wreaths, that is, kherson, which simply showed such a fantastic example of resistance. i think you know this very well . completely surrounded , that is, they were completely under the control of a foreign army, they went to protests all over the south , but kherson well, in this regard, it was always, well, in a particularly large well, because it is a bigger city, it is very important, secondly, it is a city that, well there is constant resistance, some partisan movement is constantly exploding , collaborators are constantly exploding, that is, the earth was literally on fire

, they were not at ease there, and all these attempts to hold a referendum show something, such a powerful kherson, when they were liberated, showed how it is different when they come in, which i think it just caused, well, evil e- e of russian propaganda, that is, now the picture of russian propaganda after the liberation of kherson is completely different. this is absolutely, and we are now waging another war and they are waging another war . about the liberation of kherson, and then we will discuss all this. russian armored personnel carriers entered kherson on march 1, after short battles with local terror defense, the russians captured the city. the first weeks, kherson residents protested against the occupation , but the invaders acted harshly, mass arrests , terror and fire on civilians, the operation to

liberate kherson actually began in the spring, when the russian offensive on the right bank was choked mykolaiv voznesensk kryvyi rih in none of these directions the russian army managed to achieve strategic success in the summer of the armed forces hummercy appeared and they began to attack the antonov bridge over the dnieper and other crossings through which the russian group received ammunition, fuel and provisions. this made the position of the russians on the right bank of the dnieper difficult. however, losing kherson was unacceptable for putin. in the summer , he transferred the most combat-ready units to kherson in particular, paratroopers at the end of august, the armed forces of ukraine launched a counteroffensive in the direction of the city , it was extremely difficult to advance in the kherson steppe. despite this, the ukrainian the army managed to improve the situation and liberate a number of settlements, the armed forces continued to attack bridges, as well as concentrations of russian troops and

ammunition depots, information about their location was transmitted by local partisans, because kherson became one of the main centers of the partisan movement, the actions of the ukrainian army i would call a carefully thought-out offensive operation . aims to create conditions for achieving goals ukrainians continue to fight they have the strength for this and we will see how they will do in early october armed forces they broke through the russian defense in the direction of berislav with an unexpected blow to the flank, retreating 25-30 km, the russians managed to stabilize the front, but their situation became critical after the appointment of general surovikin as the next commander of the russian occupation army. putin more likely agreed to retreat from the city, which he managed to declare russian on november 11. ministry of defense russia announced that the last russian soldiers had left the right bank of the dnieper. on the same day, the advanced units of ukrainian

troops entered kherson, and even before their arrival, the people of kherson left to the center of the city to remove the russian tricolor, the people of kherson themselves are already removing from the streets and buildings with russian symbols any traces of the occupiers' stay in kherson, the same was the case in all other cities liberated by our defenders, and the same will happen in those cities that are still waiting for their return thanks to the actions of the armed forces of ukraine, kherson remained intact, this is in striking contrast with the tactics of the russians, who turned mariupol into ruins, severodonetsk and other cities, the liberation of kherson has not only great political, but also military significance ukraine protected mykolaiv and odesa and preserved access to the black sea, and the russians lost an important bridgehead for the offensive on the right bank. and it was also a striking blow to russian propaganda , because it became clear that the ideas of the russian peace in the russian-speaking south of ukraine have

no chance, here it is important to understand that it was the military that made the breakthrough the operation still took place near kharkiv, that is, it was there that the operation took place that made it possible to further liberate kherson, and it was there actually after the kharkiv operation that it was necessary to change the place sureviykin as such a command that the troops had to carry out a mobilization because it became clear that this way of fighting as they fought would not work, but what is special about kherson is that the kherson operation and the liberation of kherson took place after the referendum took place and this destroyed this myth that if the referendum was already included in the borders of the russian federation, it is impossible to do anything about it, it is as if some kind of irreversible history here, in fact, it is so logical, in general,

the release of kherson opens the possibility to the liberation of crimea as well, well, first of all, yes, in the sanatorium, i was sure that the ukrainian armed forces would manage to retake kherson, and quite quickly, since it is the right bank and the dnipro is such a natural obstacle for the russians in order to ensure the entire group that stood with kherson, but when do you remember this concert on red square, russia, kherson, zaporozhye, what did they write there, donetsk, luhansk, it was such an impression as if it had been lost. flags oleg gazmanov there concerts canceled concert for big tickets it's already the court they enter kherson and he writes on twitter oh, sorry, the concert is canceled because not far away tickets for big in kherson gazmanov was supposed to give it somehow well because

there was a loss there was a sense of loss and it seemed like you know, when kiriyenko himself started, he was also the curator, yes, the former prime minister of russia, the youngest prime minister then in 1998, he was a democrat, and such a european now became the main occupier and held all the meetings and said that russia is here forever. and do you remember this deputy of ours? this the retreat of the local people, which he later liquidated and took, no one remembers. his last name is kovalev. kovalev seems to have been there too. i was at a meeting, they said that all of russia is here forever, and now we have to work in a new way, agriculture, firms, new schemes, we will deal with it now, but literally a couple of months, and well, the armed forces of ukraine simply destroyed this, this, this, our depressed state, which was connected with the fact that kherson was lost very well because russia, it is colossal, actually burned down, so it destroyed it itself
