[000:00:00;00] works in history really if these veterans have such a track record then it goes without saying it is really quite symbolic this is what these other countries and peoples have done now they have demonstrated it in such a way speaking in putin's entourage at these conditional holiday events if i think that really we understand that this parade had such an impression of russia's inability to be a superpower, and we see that terrorists are now just as we see that nato countries are discussing how they will oppose the russian federation where in fact now the main leoni navanta in our country is the armed forces of ukraine, which, by the way, are now carrying out the main mission of the alliance - to destroy the russian military power , for which

the north atlantic alliance was originally created at one time. and let 's comment on this. with the chief of the defense staff at the nato headquarters in brussels , nato secretary general insa stoltenberg is also meeting . what will be said there today, well, look at the preparation of an increase in the number of ready-made brigades capable of conducting combat operations , an immediate increase in the number of countries that are involved in this front line, did for increasing defense costs, the adoption of more effective measures of interaction between command structures, that is, many such things that really talk about the fact that the alliance is already starting a real process of reconstruction and probably preparing for the most dangerous scenarios that may arise in relations with the russian

federation information we find about those two veterans. sorry, but here it is. to be honest, verifying this record of the so-called parade is a special pleasure for ukrainians, so to the right of putin sat 98-year-old yuriy dvoikin during the second world war. he never got to the front, but in 44 in the nkvd, he was sent to the lviv region to carry out operations to eliminate the nationalist underground . dvoekin himself says that they cleared the region of nationalists, and to the left of putin was gennady zaitsev, who was born in 1934 that is, he could not participate in the war, but in 1953 he was called up for military service , and in 1959 he began serving in the kgb. zaitsev took part in leading soviet troops to czechoslovakia to suppress anti-soviet protests and the prague spring . to the russian federation , thank you sergey, thank you. and now we

move on to the introductory speech of the chairman of the military committee, rear admiral romaur and the secretary general of nato and general secretary gensatoltenberg. in fact, for us , this is evidence of our political and of the military alliance here at the nato headquarters, we reach a consensus on how our strategic partnership will develop, we understand that the political role will only strengthen and in the future the role of our military committee aims to ensure political security and make our military potential visible we

ukraine fights back because it has the support of 50 countries from around the world. we are waiting for the ukrainian representatives, thanks to their leadership and their actions, to see how ukraine continues to defend its land and its territory yesterday i received a letter from my friend general zaluzhny that even if he will not be able to participate in the online meeting because he is involved in an active military operation to throw russian troops from the territory of ukraine, we are now together supporting general zaluzhny and now we are planning our further defense and also the process of separation of our national military plan now

it is necessary to include strengthened and updated regional plans that will provide nato members with additional strength, because they contain everything that is necessary in order to transform our armies, and this is how we talk about ground forces and other military capabilities that are necessary , and it is also prescribed how the deployment of troops should be also how military training will be conducted and exactly such an approach will be used by our command structures of our allies. i expect that our allies will support this regional plan, regional plans, in particular, and during the vinnytsia summit in july, for this we need appropriate resources , of course we expect that the heads of our governments will meet in vilnius in july and they will agree on new investment promises, because we understand how important they are in order to

achieve of those plans. that is, we are talking about a minimum of 2% of the gdp of each country, and we are investing in our defense. we also expect the leaders to support the new action plan for production and for nato to have we need potential, we also need investments in production right now and for the future, we are moving in the right direction, because we see what threats the current world presents to us , all this requires political courage, as well as the continuation of our duty on the part of our colleagues. i now count on you all to support our proposals and we will lay the foundation for a successful it is here in july that we share our responsibility to ensure that people feel safe in such a

threatening and dangerous world, so now nato has provided security for 75 years and now you and your leaders will continue to do so in the future thank you and i look forward to the discussion mr. secretary general thank you for your inspiring words it is a great honor that you are with us and now in fact we understand that such proposals are very important to our allies and therefore together we will review these documents and er we will introduce the necessary amendments so that you can see how these plans are interconnected and also how they actually support the work of our of the military who protect our great union. therefore, we now thank their service for the fact that they fight for democratic values , for the rule of law, that is, that is what our society is based on. together, more than 3 million military men and women are now

please tell us your expectations from today's military summit in brussels. what is new for ukraine? what can we expect ? will the nato summit in vilnius this summer be decisive on the way to our integration into the alliance? i think that today's committee will be rely more on what ukraine needs today. for today, the discussion is exactly what is needed on the battlefield. but at the same time, perhaps some agreed positions will be proposed regarding our membership in nato will be fixed in the final committee of freedom at the nato summit already this one, that is, these two main components. i think that will be the result of today's meeting of the committee, but let's see, because for today, as far as i know , the final interpretation of the final wording of this

what will nato offer to ukraine in vilnius ? there is no summit in vilnius . they won't give it because it's a question after all. first of all, the end of the war, so let's see what the results will be. today , i think that in the evening, in the evening, it will be with a size. well , stoltonberg said the day before yesterday , it seems that the door is open, but when ukraine in it is not known whether they will enter, this is the general position of all nato countries , or whether there are countries that are more inclined to our faster entry and their leaders who can convince the rest of our

partners in the alternative. who are trying to pull us with all their might into nato and convince other countries, in particular the baltic countries and poland and the czech republic, well, that is , our closest neighbors on the e-e plane, who are not only advocating that we become oil members as soon as possible, but also er, other countries are prompting this decision. there are countries that, well, i wouldn’t say that they are against it, but they are not ready to speak publicly about their position now. there are countries that are in favor, but they also do not voice their position publicly until the position of leaders such as the united states is expressed. the united states or germany for some countries, some are oriented towards the united states, and some are oriented towards germany. but we understand that their position is public, and we are working to ensure that it is involved

at the nato summit, and our delegation was recently in congress of the united states, we have secured the support of the congressmen that they will also write letters to the white house and the state department regarding, you know, the formulation of a clearer position regarding ukraine and membership in nato at the summit. i hope that after all we will hear the specifics at the summit, but again, it depends on the positions of the united states and germany, and other countries, because this decision is made by consensus, which means that we must have 31 yes from all other nato does not meet the standards at all 100%. and that a purely technical ukraine could already join the alliance, nevertheless, it is important to remember that this

is a political and military alliance and it is necessary to bring the political part of our compliance with nato up to certain standards. of the ukrainian parliament, is it active now, first of all, let's be honest, not all nato member states today, when they became nato members, met the criteria even at the level at which ukraine meets today, and it's true that we today, in principle, according to the standards, according to the transition to the standard nato, somewhere, you know, we even occupy such an average position among all the members of the alliance, the current members of the alliance regarding the implementation of these standards. and there are standards, there are principles, standards are more the technical conditions to which our army, our sectors of defense and national security should be transferred, and the principles are more about political positions, which

in principle overlap with our terms of membership in the european union, this reforming of our judicial system and for example, if we are talking about security and defense, civil-democratic control over the sphere of defense and, in particular, the transition , for example, from the minister of war to the civilian minister, this is also one of the principles of nato, which we already implement, but we really have what to do at home, this is also the reform of the security service of ukraine, which should be exclusively a special service and not perform functions that are not inherent to it, such as economic investigation, and other things , to remain only counterintelligence and counterintelligence structures, and these are also

draft laws the reform of state secrets , the standards of the classification of secret information and information marked a-a absolutely secret. we are still reforming for the war, there is a plus point in that many standards or principles, like i said, are similar to what the european union expects from us, that's why we are here . therefore, here we are moving in parallel to the european union and to nato reforming the country internally igor and is the north atlantic alliance decisive in the matter of our further pillar what will happen during the ukrainian offensive and what will be its result because uh actually do nato members look at it not separate ours let's say

yes, the partners who provide us with military aid and the north atlantic alliance in general, and do they consider this a marker to accept or not to accept ukraine into their circle ? i think that our victory will be decisive , this is the same er-e prch that we need to fulfill this first and only the main point that er is waiting for is expected by our partners er victory in this war of ukraine regarding the counteroffensive i think that this will strengthen our position of a successful counteroffensive of course it will strengthen our position in the negotiation process but it will have more of an impact on the continuation and increase of our aid , remember how our partners reacted to our successes in the kherson and kharkiv regions when these territories were liberated. that is, it fueled and strengthened our partners

in order for them to provide us with more weapons therefore, i think that this, first of all, as a counteroffensive will affect the increase in aid, well , we have to develop and manufacture weapons ourselves, and for this purpose there is a state initiative to support such developments and of production, any company or private person that has developed a promising uav or a rifle or a means of rap or communication, a demining system or anything else will be able to receive support from the state for scaling up the production of development proceedings for use in the armed forces for and for the development of especially promising types of weapons even grants will be allocated to our inventors , what kind of initiative is this

, who cares and what are the dimensions of state support? the ministry of defense, the ministry of protection, the transformation of the ministry of the minister of technology, our ministry of economy, which joined forces and the main the main task of this platform is a platform that gathers our inventors in the manufacturers, which today are already treated, which dozens, in fact, even those manufacturers fell a during this year, there were a lot of uavs that really perform combat tasks in combat conditions, bypassing russian roars, this is not only by the way, there are also our developers and so on and so on, but the problem has always been that to go through bureaucratic procedures in order to join the army for service, and it was a long journey for several years. now the task is to facilitate this path, make it minimally bureaucratic, make it

as fast as possible for our inventors and manufacturers, and somewhere to help them financially scaling up and how does it all happen, since i know such inventors and developers, well, in particular from kramatorsk, who after the 14th year developed armored vehicles there and it was very difficult and at the end they are tired of just knocking on the door from the general staff and the ministry of defense . the disclosure of some secrets, although this platform is generally protected enough that it will not be hacked , and then the manufacturer will be contacted by this, and he will undergo a certain

verification by the ministry of defense and the armed forces of ukraine as to whether they are needed such products are inventions to date, is there a request for them or is the ministry of defense ready, for example, to help and finance, and then the main thing is this procedure regarding licensing by certification or other procedures of e- permitting documents, it is transferred to the shoulders of the state and the state itself should do this and not drive around offices with papers of wine and inventors should invent and produce, and everything else should still be done by the state now, uh, this procedure has been going on for several years and should be reduced to a month one and a half to two in order for this period to pass from production to delivery to the army, and no more. we are in war conditions . thank you, and it is really important to support the domestic manufacturer. especially in

war conditions, if they do something for the benefit of the defense force. but in no way in this case, it cannot be done at the expense of suppressing exports, or rather imports into our country, and it is very important to understand that while ours are developing and while they are being supported, and while all these bureaucratic procedures will be completed at the front, there are real needs, there are things which we can only get them abroad , it would be great if they could come unhindered both to volunteers and to our defense forces thank you for contacting me i'm the only name of the platform specify where to look for it on the internet one ah, be brave, be the first to stink, tell me come in and submit your ideas know-how that will be used by our military-industrial complex. thank you, yehor june , people's deputy, deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee on national security, defense and
