[000:00:00;00] i have no doubt that we will become a member of the eu, nato, it will happen, but in the end, only long-term peace in the euro-atlantic space will be possible if russia no longer poses a threat , and in order to really achieve this, we need russia to change, we understand how long the road to such a goal is, but if we see this goal every day, it will be in front of our eyes. security in the euro-atlantic region has lasted so long, and in which ukraine will be a full member, then it will be beneficial to prevent russia from becoming

we understand any threat as space and time, but during this time the war will continue on the issue of security guarantees. so we are looking into the future in a certain way, and let me remind you that president zelenskyi is communicating and consulting with allies on the issue of security guarantees, and in particular, we are not talking about the post-war period , but also now. but all this is important for morale and, ultimately, for the population, not only the military . is there a possibility of such post-war ugus, which have already been actually agreed or will be agreed before

the summit in vilnius, the greatest security the guarantee is what has actually already been done, namely the granting of the candidate status to the european union, and also this is actually a lifetime guarantee, and we really have solidarity with the european union and nato , respectively. ukraine is getting closer to its european future step by step, we know that nato is currently pursuing an open door policy, therefore, in the future , we understand what the solutions will be, and now we are directing our efforts to to help ukraine immediately, and we are also looking at our assistance in the short-term

, medium-term , long-term and long-term perspective. we are already thinking about our next actions. that is, each and every landing of weapons was considered in advance and it took time for specific weapons to arrive in ukraine . so this was already one of the guarantees that ukraine received ukraine, namely military support from the city and its defense potential, we understand the current scale of destruction, how many victims of such a conflict, but we achieved a lot at the beginning with the beginning of a full-scale invasion, exactly how much work was done, sometimes of course.

the osce is already a structure no, we are all now strengthening the international security institution, we are together on behalf of the eu and others, we support armenia armenia understands that they trust us within the framework of providing myron yes we we we are leading the way for the next months, we don't know how long it will take us to achieve our goal, we don't know, but we are still fighting for peace on the entire european continent with securityas mr. secretary what is your opinion we have already shown a-- actually our common there is a joint association regarding solidarity with ukraine and this unity is unprecedented within the framework of the aid that has already been provided to ukraine to strengthen its

defense capabilities and yes, this is such a united commitment because there are many things that we are currently considering that will be soon delivered to ukraine to ukraine from the place its future for the next years also we are simultaneously considering the actions that we can take immediately but also what we can do in the future so that with a preventive goal we are talking about sanctions of weapons and money but the most important aspect when it comes to

security is the fact that the partners can firmly and unconditionally believe in the victory of ukraine will be the main basement everything else will pick up and the people here i know that they believe in our victory i do not want to convince them i know that its policy that they are leading decisions what are they can be accepted in washington and berlin, everything will be accepted with one thought that ukraine must win. that is, it turns out that this is the starting point of the decision-making process. but are there any doubts if i am not talking about those people who are with me now? who he doubts, i won’t say we are working so i want to, but because he showed yes yes drops

of doubt in the victory of ukraine and indeed there are reasons for that , and of course despite the help we provide , but in fact it is very important that ukraine is fighting for its territory and its future russians do not do this for their land, and this is the unique reason why we have no doubts. i will ask you. and what you could have already written today, but your answer is very interesting. is there a chance that ukraine will have security for the long term if vladimir putin remains in power in russia, if it does not change by 180°, then no. but if we talk about the events that happened last year, we see that not only in the context of the ukrainian will for stability, but

even in germany, we also understand that it did not come to him, yes, i can say that it did not has changed i generally believe in people and that's how we changed by 180°. because we decided to change on february 27 and we really succeeded. we succeeded with our export export policy . we were given this with the supply of weapons . you see yes yes carry and it doesn't change you that's why it's really hard to say that something can change people look at the fact that in the past something could have been right but now

we see that the world has changed and that once upon a time it was considered right now it is wrong people consider such changes they review and experience the dynamics of what dynamics of change that is happening around them and then they themselves begin to change i lived my whole life in germany but at the beginning of the full-scale invasion everything changed we now understand that the policies that we introduced for several maybe even decades now it will not work, and therefore if president putin, if he can make decisions, he can, well , completely, and he can do it already tomorrow and then the whole world and happiness and peace will prevail in the world, he just has to stop his armed aggression and that's why i really thank my colleagues

and the minister of damn cinema who said that we always have to distinguish who is the aggressor and who is the victim if we let's start blaming the victim - this automatically translates into victory for the aggressor and in fact we have to say change your mind every day or change your mind and therefore as soon as putin does this then peace will reign in ukraine and in the world and if he does not change his mind we will be together with ukraine for so long

how much is needed or is it possible a step-by-step approach and from the side of the ukrainian allies is it appropriate can such an approach be considered from the side such an approach from the side of the allies as what kind of competition some uncertainty is possible yes such an approach is interpreted in the kremlin they want to often talk about the fact that the west is united and therefore, similarly, we understand that soon there will be elections in the usa and something will change. what do you think then, first of all, i think that of course a lot rests on putin's shoulders. he can decide a lot . he started everything back in 2014 when he seized when crimea invaded the donbass, he talked about some preventive measures and the like, but ukraine is now united with all the collective action, we see that the design

, we understood what the chances of ukraine joining nato were before the invasion in 2014 and the pre-flood invasion last year therefore, now, of course, if we look to the future, we understand that ukrainians and ukraine will always hate russia because of what it has done for them, for peaceful citizens, for civil infrastructure and the like. in fact, i want to say that never i have never seen such unity on the part of the allies that we are currently seeing all over the world. we are in solidarity with ukraine. i also want to return to such a moment. look at what

putin has done to his own state now. from russia because they don't want to associate themselves with war and the course that putin is currently leading them does not suit them. also, you see how many businesses have left russia because the reputation is too expensive to continue working in russia. so what do you mean? russia is now in global exile, and all because of the actions that putin has resorted to, of course. it would be very good if putin understood that the course he is currently on is the biggest strategic mistake he could ever make. of course, i think that now putin he doesn't think about it. i think that his opinion is completely opposite. at first he thought

that he would quickly run through ukraine and capture it, then butterface against the wall of ukrainian resistance, he began to use some other tools and shifted the focus of hostilities to the east, but he does not give up. does not want to admit his own strategic own strategic miscalculation we also understand that the war has echoes in many countries of the world, including japan and others , he sees all this, he sees how closely we all cooperate from time to time at various international meetings with ukraine, what support we provide, all he perfectly understands yes we are not talking only about some specific provision of certain certain weapons installations and the like but it is not only about

weapons systems we also help you with training we help you with repairs we work with handle the equipment correctly we help you with spare parts that is, we follow the course of a comprehensive approach in order to strategically achieve the successes we are counting on wind is it possible to somehow predict the time when it will be more difficult for the territory in ukraine will any negotiations with russia be possible under such conditions, in particular with in particular with vladimir putin well, in principle, everything is possible except for vladimir putin, we don't need him here really i want to have one i'm waiting for a peaceful future when i go to my village where i

will spend time with my children and grandchildren and i don't want to be very old when it happens, i want it to happen much faster, but when we talk about vladimir putin, ukraine is such a personal, personal obsession for him , he is obsessed with ukraine. leader this will be a period of opportunity so we cannot predict when it will happen but now we must focus on fighting the battle on the battlefield the battle on the diplomatic arena because this is how we see unprecedented unity in one part of the world that defends the principles of the rule of law, democracy, but we also see other parts of the world that maintain some kind of neutrality , uncertainty. in fact, it turns out that they technically

support russia and those actions also call on other countries to suspend arms supplies, which also means that this will speed up the victory of russia. whether ukraine will be able to restore its territorial integrity . in other words, this means that people are sowing sour doubts, then i will ask the question and what was all this struggle for if in the end we we are not recapturing everything that belongs to us. so cold twenty fortings 2014 was the year when ukraine began to move away from nato. i want to say that in 2014, ukraine was outside

the bloc, we were not on the way to nato, and then russia attacked it firstly, secondly, yes, we had a demarcation zone for 8 years. we tried to find diplomatic solutions to prevent war. and did we succeed? no. so it turns out that some solution cannot lead to some other demarcation line. we want to believe in what we choose , we need to remain smart and do everything to defend ourselves and win. what inspires me the most is that we meet and talk with colleagues who also have no doubts about our

victory, please ukraine , but we also see that russia poses an existential threat to the countries of the former of the soviet union and with the rest of europe, and soon there will be a summit in vilnius. what should be done in order to send a clear message that ukraine is not all together when it comes to security, and what nato should understand what threat does russia carry with it even before ukraine becomes a part of nato, we are all working as a secretary, please, thank you for your

questions, they talked about it, and putin wanted to prevent it. why did he want to prevent it? was expanding on the eastern flank, he uh, we now also understand that there are fears that putin may go much further beyond the borders of ukraine, we have deployed additional military bases on our eastern flank of nato in order for the participating countries to feel more secure president biden has clearly stated that we will defend every centimeter, now it is very important to understand what our

next steps should be in order to strengthen the eastern and also the southern and there is such an irony, really , regarding the situation in which we are all with you, that putin still hopes ironically that nato poses some kind of threat to russia , that we want to go into a counteroffensive against russia, this has never happened and will never happen, but we are looking at what his actions are and that is why we are forced to increase our efforts if we look at when the year 2014 began, when the conflict began, we see what happened then , there was such a period. when in fact there was a withdrawal of troops to the usa, but then putin came to us, he conducted military campaigns, annexed the territory and the like, that is, he actually

made the path, i did more than anyone else- anywhere in the world in order to strengthen nato partners . i have a question . principles are sure that putin is feeding something powerful right now to the anniversary of a certain large-scale invasion and we must be ready for that , so we must now prove our full

support to ukraine and emphasize our unity we also want to honor the heroes of ukraine, but at the same time we also know that we are expecting another mass a so how do we prepare for this pan-secretary please have a word about please comment on the visit of president biden which will take place soon please give a wonderful speech in poland so you don't have to run ahead of your father in hell, if you can put it that way, but it is likely that he will actually talk about the path that we walked together during the year, where we were and where we are now, he will actually talk about solidarity with ukraine, because the success

of ukraine is the success of everyone. i am also convinced that a-a speech that biden's speech will be much more powerful and significant than putin's speech european solidarity for the support you provide to our ukraine ukrainian citizens and soldiers really appreciate your support and your countries together with great britain the most

are helping ukraine and today i want to ask you a question that i have already asked the prime minister of great britain . we are trying to speed up, but on the other hand , i also want to say whether we were fast enough in the past , we improve our work every day, and all this can be well monitored by analyzing the entire previous year we made such decisions that i had never made we did not even get to the discussion and now we see what we are making and how important it is to return to the issue of unity how important is international

spelling because we all understand the power of democracy and our further steps depend on it we look at the lessons we can learn we look at the mistakes we can correct we look at nato standards but nato standards alone cannot strengthen the defense capability of another country accordingly we we are reviewing our approaches again, we are reviewing everything strategically at the strategic level, there is always room for improvement, and therefore the decisions that are being made now, in particular with machines, we are trying, and in particular here in munich, to form a group of those who can support us, in particular, regarding the provision of tanks and other latest equipment to ukraine, because it is very it is important not just to provide weapons, but

it is extremely important that people can properly use this equipment, that they can properly carry out repair work and so on, that is why we always return alone to each other we listen to our colleagues we share our vision we have to rally together sharing our vision we have to review how to really speed up our supply chains in order to save your people i will be very concise i have one such remark democracy it depends on the procedure and sometimes time is really necessary we have done a lot from in the first month of the full-scale war, we see the work done by our head

of the pentagon, mr. austin, we see the results of the work of the contact group on the defense of ukraine. we have seen all deliveries, all military decisions were carried out to help ukraine, we analytically assess the urgent needs, we are united in our efforts to help ukraine overcome, in particular, the critical energy situation that we were experiencing, we are looking if it was on the agenda of the meetings of the g7 countries today, we have a great opportunity today and within the framework of the security conference to discuss the future our steps we aim to ensure our joint cooperation here in real time and i hope we have succeeded mr

colleague name three things you would like to speed up now, not everyone, i wanted to call everyone exactly ammunition, weapons, artillery, the problem with ammunition. and for me with this one, because so much attention was focused on tanks, and now on military aircraft, but we understand that their huge problem is actually ammunition and the issue of ammunition. yes. we thought that we will never have such a large-scale war on the european continent, er, we understand that we believed in peace, so it is all on russia's shoulders , because putin, putin, not every russian - it is

putin who destroyed peace in europe and that is why we believed in peace and did not collect ammunition waste, we did not produce it because we did not think that war would start again in europe. this is the root of the problem. ugh in our warehouses. now we have resumed production, in particular in germany . we want to increase the production of ammunition for cheetah installations, in particular until june until july, there are several countries in the world that have ammunition for these specific installations, we ask them to support us by providing their weapons and their ammunition while we
