[000:00:00;00] and i believe that it is necessary to respect the un charter and international law. do you agree? this indicates that china supports the peace of ukraine formula. do you agree? we have a lot of common views . that this country is also politically

distant from him. congratulations. thank you, mr. president. about the selfie. maybe then it would be better about the exclusive interview. you said a lot that this war is not only about the territory . differences what do you think south american countries mexico venezuela because they have certain ties with russia so here the government is one thing and society plays a slightly different role so what place do these countries occupy and is there any specific support that you expect from these countries thank you for for questions, and in principle today i already partially answered the question of south america. we are very interested

in relations, we are interested in the fact of understanding what is really happening in ukraine. the federation having historical ties with the soviet union on the territory of the south american states, we are interested in this, just so that you know the truth, a different society , i am sure that the values ​​are the same, we already talked about this today, i do not want to repeat it, we must speak, ukraine must speak with all the states today that do not wish ukraine death, destruction of people, territory, etc. i believe that we should speak and i think we are all interested in security in the world and because there are so many natural challenges, you

see what is happening and that is why we should to think how to save people, save the environment, save this planet for our future generations, but last but not least , we have to think about how to occupy, how to artificially take aggressive steps to make war, and in this , too, to create military war , military conflicts, etc. and that is why we are definitely on the same page in this i just really want us to know each other, we don't have enough ambassadors in our diplomatic corps, because of the number of ambassadors, we are not everywhere. unfortunately , we were represented before on all those continents that we talk about so much today, not by chance we say so much - this is the answer to your question

. things that your business needs, your people, what you might be economically interested in, please ask questions from reuters in that corner good afternoon max gunder reuters and at the moment, the united states has not yet given there are methods of long-range damage to ukraine that ukraine requested, such as attacks, how much it complicates the de-occupation of ukrainian territories, which was discussed this year. thank you for your

questions. i have been to the eu and britain, the united states, and they know in detail. they do not imagine that it is really difficult to know just from the information space what is happening, for example, in kherson, what were the steps of de-occupation, where did 40,000 people go and why is their east from their side now more powerful and attacking us, where did the people go, they don't know the details what, for example, the enemy, he came out, we ran, get out of that, it's like that, from one shore he crossed to the other shore, he put a weapon there that hits for us, for the civilian population, and all this is difficult, it is necessary to explain that long-range weapons are the protection of the civilian population, because the imagination of many states , even those that are very deeply with us and strategic

partners in the imagination of supplying etecams and or such a powerful weapon, is by the way agreed with britain. by the way, we agreed on a different type, but long-range weapons. but nevertheless, we all had to work a lot . because the idea that ukraine needs long-range weapons to attack russia and this narrative is spread by various institutions, they are not only in russia thanks to telegram channels , etc. and they also institutionally in many in many capitals of the world. i don’t know why this is being done. somewhere it’s information policy a-a russia, disinformation is another wave that they are launching, and somewhere it’s internal internal fears that ukraine cannot be given fsixteen attacks from the fact that because it will strike in the russian

federation so here i am telling you once again publicly, we are working very hard to make people understand that russia has specially placed its weapons at such a distance on our territory on our temporarily occupied territory that it is killing civilians population and we need to hit these targets protecting our people to harvest these targets then their weapons that are on our territory we protect the civilian population we have kherson i explained kherson for a long time i am talking about the coasts i was talking about the details about the streets about the population of this beautiful city, about 500,000 people lived there before this invasion, and then when we bought deo, people were happy , there were 85,000 people, we counted 85,000 people , some were forcibly deported , they talked about it, some were killed, some graves were found, some

left our country, and when we deo was bought in a week, there were plus several thousand people, people began to return, what did russia do, put weapons on our territory and hit from the other side , they knew that our weapons could not reach there and they were just killing civilians population and less than 80,000 people in and they went, of course, they are afraid, they beat people everywhere. at bus stations, electricity, drinking water , gas, highways, etc. , what happens in the hospital ? information and these things even if you read you yourself know how much of everything is spam in addition to true information how much is spam that is why every person is one or another this or that leader they read to them

report so intelligence but nevertheless to them they report, you can believe it, you can not believe it, emotion is needed, people need to understand this and receive the truth from us, from ukraine, that is why we need to talk to africa in this way, we need to talk to latin america in this way on various issues, and this is how we need to talk to america and the european union so that we can continue they gave us long-range weapons and this is really a challenge and even more of a challenge for the irc, the planes are even more, but we have to press and speak. thank you, please . the fifth channel in the center at the end, mr. president. thank you for the opportunity to put question 5 of the channel of the channel which has been switched off from the digital airwaves since april 4 along with espresso and live and at the moment we do not have the opportunity to fully speak as well as our colleagues, these are hundreds of media persons, but my

question is that a year ago in january when the usa and nato warned about a full-scale invasion by the russians, you called on ukrainians to keep a cool head and keep a cool head not to succumb to provocations. citizens were not properly notified of real threats. do you see a problem in your environment, who may have downplayed the threat, and what kind of punishment do you think the ex-head of the sbu and your childhood friend, ivan bakanov, should face? is he really currently in ukraine, and are you do you agree that this is all because of your report? it is very nice. it seemed to me that

i was here on the 24th and i did not go anywhere, and i think it is important that we did not lose the state and that is thanks to the people of ukraine and thanks to our armed forces, probably thanks to a little if you don't like to hear that, many people think so. of course, not everyone and i'm not a hero, but i definitely want to do something, since we are here in the de-occupied kiwi, in the de-cubic cities of our country, i must have done something. we have nato weapons and we are fighting.

we don't sign treasonous treaties, the minsk conditions and so on, you probably don't like it very much to hear but nevertheless, i am grateful to you for what you are and i know that you will be, and that's great, but what's the point in the fact that we will win. that's the same as is the president, but we were with this show they did not win. this is my answer. thank you, thank you to our military defenders, to the journalists, and it is very good that you are shown on television, and it is very good that, despite the various accusations, that i am the president of ukraine , i destroyed the russian presence in the parliament of ukraine, destroyed the russian tv channels in ukraine

, destroyed the oligarchs. of them, the owner of your channel, give the next question latvian tv channel, please, also in the center at the end eh thank you very much latvian tv towers eh mr. president we in the battlex of course, they perfectly understand that ukraine is also fighting for us, and we thank you very much for that, but you also mentioned that russia may be interested in attacks on nato member countries, so after this very difficult year, and in view of your experience, so that you can to recommend to the countries how to live at this time despite the fact that we are a nato member country and nevertheless we have borders with russia and we constantly support

from the first days behind the support that the baltic countries provided to ukraine, you know that from the very first days of the occupation even before that's what we got, we had very important new year's resolutions, because you know that i met with the italians, i was introduced to the presenter of lithuania, and i also met with latvia and estonia , all countries were at our service from the very beginning. attention from 2014, so it is very important that we have such strategic good friends and it is very important, what can i comment on, we as ukrainians will always remember the support you provided

, of course we will be with you even if we wish peace to you, so that we remain strong. i know very well that you will never be alone. someone said that the baltic countries of the baltic states are small countries , but they are big as nations . can you do two short questions? you have a formal world . - to force russia, uh, sit down at the table, or is it necessary to only remove the russian military

from the territory of ukraine, and i will remind you what is next, for example, i don’t know ukrainian tanks in moscow and the second thing. they are waiting for a peaceful sky so that we all told our a-a compatriots, for example, here are the countries like germany, romania, poland, and great britain, spain, thank you. so that i can tell about poland to my ukrainian brothers who live abroad, there are immigrants, yes. at first you talked about that shadow or other negotiations. i believe that in a secret situation, well, we already talked about this today. i think we will start repeating ourselves. but nevertheless, we must be strong in order to be strong in any victories in the negotiations. ukraine must be strong in

battlefield, then you can really reach a fair and just peace under the conditions of a civilized world . i think this is the most important thing if you retreat, if you are occupied, then you would be humiliated, russia already did when they reached kyiv, when they occupied our our the state and they did it. you saw how they behaved. they set some conditions . they tortured people. that's all. we know the result when they are strong. and we are occupied . that's all. that's why i think it's important to be strong on the battlefield, then you will be strong in negotiations. that's all. let's get to it. let's de-occupy as much as we can. it's important for us that we will be stronger. this is the first part, the second part, and the second

part is what i can tell our ukrainians what i want. well, okay, something is happening to me here . what can i say without citizens of ukraine? which today are abroad, and our country cannot be strong without you, dear ukrainians , i want to tell you with all my love, ah, but with all my love for all the countries that have given you such shelter, remember, you are ukrainians, you are not romanians, not poles, not germans with all the love for these countries and great respect, they really did a lot for us and

support you, but i want you to know that when you can, i would really like you to come back . this is your personal opinion and your choice, but the main thing is that you knew that for us you are the same ukrainians, we are waiting for a return to normal life after the victory, come back because we need to restore our beautiful state because it is for the people, for all the people, for those who are here now, who defend the state and who protect it, and for those who forced to temporarily leave the ukrainians they are always that's for sure, even though they left temporarily dear colleagues, the press conference is coming to an end , we will be able to hear two more questions, let's give the observer and then we ukraine will be the last, thank you very much for

an opportunity to ask a question good day, mr. president. and the question about the security guarantee for ukraine , which we talked about at the beginning recently. andriy yarmak said that it is about time that we will be able to get the security guarantee approved, he said that he hopes they will be approved by july and great britain is ready. it is ready to be this guarantor. what other countries are there and what are the deadlines for ukraine before the end of the war or after what stoltenberg said? thank you . thank you very much. will be there, it does not depend on ukraine today, ukraine has demonstrated its power, it has been demonstrated both on the field and in society, which maximally supports this geopolitical course regarding the challenges on the way to

the alliance. we are talking about this for great britain we are talking about this for the united states of america so far this is this circle with whom we have discussed is the question when it can happen i can't tell you yes please we are ukraine who is in the heart of the family, this year he changed the lives of millions of families of a certain family, your family's life has also changed, the first lady has already called her, well, in international commentators, she is the image of such a women's struggle, and her voice, thanks to her performances, is now heard on all international platforms and i. i am sure that all ukrainians are also very interested in how these 365 days of the full-scale

invasion of russia have changed your family, your relationships with your closest relatives, if possible . this last question seems to me to be a personal one i would like to hear the most difficult, the last ones are not even more difficult. i love them without a doubt, my wife, my children are the main people for me, i don’t see them often, my parents don’t see them at all, but i am very proud of my wife

, i think that she does everything for the sake of my children and the state well, i would like it to be a little for my sake, i'm just kidding in my heart, they are all in my heart, you see, i told you honestly that it will be the most difficult, and therefore i can't answer you normally, the main thing is not to let them down, the main thing is that they are my children, that my

the children were proud of me and i am glad that they are in ukraine, that they are studying at ukrainian universities, it is very important for the president of the state , past or present, when you are against a warring state, that your children should be here, because the state is here, boys and girls are here, and it is very important that your children your wife was also here and i can't order them to be here, the main thing is that they be such people i am proud i am so infinitely lucky with my family and the state thank you dear colleagues i see what else i see many more raised signs unfortunately two and a half hours is almost not it was enough for us to to answer all your questions but it was a very difficult week and today was a very difficult day and someday we have to finish

let it be now that's why thank you all good evening we are from ukraine so we listened to president volodymyr zelenskyi who gave a big press conference for the mass media today information and we start a-a military results of the day today we are talking about the results of the year and the results today also serhiy zubrets with me, the director of the defect express agency congratulations, congratulations to you, vasyl, congratulations to our viewers today we will talk about what happened during the year on the front line and about the events that took place this week. so serhii, eh. today, a year passes since the beginning of the great war. the great invasion of the army of the aggressor began on the territory of our country. in short, what are the main results of the first year for you? war, in fact, these are the results of mine and actually of our citizens. because the ukrainian army, the ukrainian people, withstood this first onslaught of the russian army, which

outnumbered the ukrainian army during this time, the armed forces suffered significant losses the enemy was repulsed from a significant number of regions, two powerful counter-offensive operations were conducted, and now we are actually confident that with the support of the countries in the west, we will ensure victory. well, here are the first days of the war. the enemy managed to reach during the first large-scale invasion of the so-called blitzkrieg, which we actually did not succeed in capturing the enemy and how critical it was, well, the enemy really tried to call the blitzkrieg strategy, realizing that his it seems that they will be greeted with flowers on the territory of ukraine, but in reality everything went completely wrong and when he tried to push through from the direction of 10 regions after a certain time, in fact, every month the zone where the enemy was located decreased, that is, in fact, all these plans

of the enemy that were being prepared for a long time, in fact, they could not withstand the confrontation with reality , faced the resistance of the ukrainian people and the resistance of the armed forces in february and march there were battles for kyiv and chernihiv and sums for you there were battles for kharkiv for all the others populated areas that the enemy managed to capture or failed to capture well, but these were key stories because we all understand that the capture of kyiv would obviously turn this war in a completely different direction, none of these cities were under occupation, neither kyiv, nor chernihiv, nor sumy there was a different story, but not a single city was occupied, in that the enemy managed to pass more than 300 km through our territory from the northeast to kyiv , why did the enemy manage to do this well, in fact, we are talking about the fact that this is not an offensive despite the statements of the leadership states that we are about it

knew to the fullest extent, we were not ready for the actions of the athlete, first of all from the north and how the movement towards kyiv and the movement from belarus were so insidious and fast enough, but then we saw that the enemy actually lacked fuel, lacked power and all the actions that the first clashes with the russian occupiers took place at the gostomel airfield, where the helicopters crashed, we saw that in fact the ukrainian army is resisting, there are all possibilities to continue to defend, then we remember that there were two artillery brigades that defended kyiv and, in fact, they provided the main turning point so that the enemy did not advance to kyiv and could not implement their plans, so actually , in any case, the coincidence of many factors and unexpectedness and against us and luck all this

played in our favor well, it really should be noted, first of all, i think the 72nd brigade was commanded by a black zaporizhia from bila tserkva, so if i'm not mistaken, who used artillery at all, again, if everything i read is true, it was intended for training ranges, but it turned out that these artillery had to be used in a real battle. well, the sorokov aviation brigade, which is from vasylkov, too. well, in fact, it created a miracle . it seems to me that the work and the territorial defense, because all of them, even this one, i know guys who made unmanned complexes there, they went to the gostomel zone . and actually with their complexes that had not yet been transferred to the armed forces, they carried out targeting of e russian units. and what was artillery that could be destroyed was gathered together and precisely for such a spontaneous active mode and struck the russian occupiers there, but the first days were really the most terrible, they were unpredictable , and it was precisely the stability of the first stage that later allowed somehow to proceed to planned defensive actions, although the day before he does not

remember what they were and a series of trainings that were conducted of the armed forces and the redeployment that was carried out literally a few hours before the missile strikes, which allowed us to preserve air defense and preserve aviation, all this was done, but in any case the factor surprises still remained because, as i understand it, the main emphasis was because there was an understanding that the enemy would advance on donbas, this direction is connected with the north, with kiev, there with belarus , it was still secondary and the enemy used this not unexpected precisely because of the fact that and there was an advance to kyiv, which we talked about earlier, well, it is indeed from the brigade that defended and now they will be mistaken for him 59 , which was in the south, part of this brigade was redeployed to the east, and the national guardsmen who defended the guest house were also part of this brigade before listening to the east, well, in fact, there is already heroism, heroism of people, and again , here is the vasylki long-term fighter aviation brigade, where the landing force was also landed and where there were also heavy battles, but for those people who were called
