[000:00:00;00] right after sweden , but by and large i agree with the fact that our troops have shown that they are capable of modernizing on the go during the war, capable of replenishing the most modern models of equipment, and you know that even now they are making fun of the americans, who said just a few months ago that patriot is such a complex system that ukrainians need a long time to master it. and now they say, well, it's true that the ukrainians shot down a dagger hyper-missile. that is, these indicators are very important. of course, we are not reaching the point from the point of view of democratic civilian control, there are some other such important parameters from the point of view of the political system, but even if this was not the case, let's look at the history of the alliance and we will see that, for example, the same west germany was taken into the alliance

when it was divided part of the territory was occupied by such as the dpr and the lpr at one time by the german democratic republic, or rather by the soviet union with this juicy and let's remember, for example , the same turkey and greece that were accepted in order to, well, this is from a strategic point of view and in order to maintain a political democratic regime and a--and to some countries , for example, which are led by a colleague, because finland's participation in the union adds to our security and strength , there were also other reasons why this meeting was historic leaders defense departments spoke about military planning and further integration. the era of collective defense has now come. and we are ready for it . secretary general jens toltonberg

spoke at the beginning of this meeting about the transformation of our union during the last decades in recent years and we see that the changes are significant, but a lot still needs to be done, and in particular, we will also integrate nato's national planning into the vilnius summit, as well as increase the readiness of our forces. which could strengthen our team throughout the alliance readiness and efficiency we are talking about quality and not quantity also we need

speed scale but very yes also large the range of capacities, also about the means of control which are related to the new requirements and which will determine the quantity and also the equipment which will arrive which we will demand from all organizations from all participating countries and also my colleague will tell in more detail about the results of this meeting, so the process has been launched and soon the fruits of our work will be presented in a few months during the vilnius summit, all our efforts are aimed at ensuring that the political will of the union coincides with our military capabilities more important than that, the most important thing is now. on the agenda, the russian war against ukraine is the biggest threat in recent decades, and what moscow hoped for

, namely, three days of war. now we see already 15 months of war, and the strength and determination of the ukrainian people does not stop to surprise us today we had this dedicated session dedicated to ukraine and the representatives of the military representatives of ukraine also spoke in detail about the operational situation on the battlefield and i also want to say that we will provide to ukraine, the support it needs now to protect its own, we once again emphasize our unwavering support , because there is no doubt that nato will be with ukraine as long as necessary, the russians will stop at ukraine, because russia's ambitions go beyond the borders of ukraine. you saw

we have already seen its russia, transnistria, ossetia, and the like, because russia is governed not by the rule of law but by its imperial ambitions, and that is why the new era of collective defense has begun for nato not only in relation to ukraine and not only in relation to to nato, but for all the democracies, free democracies in the world, the main reason for handling the crisis and collective defense is that this is not about us, it is about those who believe in democracy, we must prepare for what the conflict can present, it can escalate at any moment and therefore nato has been preparing for this new era

for several years, and that is why we are actively monitoring the escalation of aggressiveness on the part of russia.

military planning will help us achieve the desired results ah, there is no doubt that we are much stronger together than alone , thank you, greetings, everyone, indeed, it is a great honor to speak with you

today, i will also talk about the combination of our national defense plans together with more general parent plans to move military forces in a specific time in specific places, such changes will actually turn the alliance into a large-scale defense operation to

protect every centimeter of nato land if it is appropriate if there is such a threat and that is why we will maintain our unity in order to strengthen our strategic planning and in fact this is due to the need for all citizens to feel safe and ladies and gentlemen i am glad to be here today and i want to start with a few sentences about what we we need it, because we contribute to the transformation of our alliance in order to overcome the future challenge and respond to the current challenge. and together with ukraine, today we are ready to accompany ukraine in its defense

of sovereignty and territorial integration and to actually prepare for the future security environment and that is why such an environment reflects a new reality and this new reality is bigger faster and more ubiquitous when i say bigger i mean about date about systems and equipment when i say faster i mean competition and also intelligent as well as it-technologies and also we have to act very quickly in order to launch specific equipment in space like that but when i say everywhere and that i mean that the challenges that are now in front of us are they really limitless and that's why we have to act synchronously for especially when we talk about video mines of the war in ukraine we are increasing security for the future and that's why nato

is actually now as i already said my colleague nato must ensure deterrence if there is a threat from enemies and also protect everyone a centimeter of nato land, and we must understand and be on the same page to understand what will happen tomorrow and how we will combine it with today , so when we talk about the challenges regarding the transformation of the transformation of the union, we need to take into account new powers, whatever corresponded to the current and therefore we need to implement our digital transformations we need to combine qualitative and quantitative indicators as effectively as possible so that there is a relationship and influence on the decision-making process as well we need to use modern technologies in

order to improve operational results and we also develop even more new improvements and modernizations that would consist of increased partnerships in particular when we talk about digitalization and in general we need to develop our flexibility and also act right at the right time. thank you colleagues and i am ready to answer questions. now we are moving on to questions, please. thank you. yes. i have a question in view of the new collective defense about the new regional plans. please tell me what is the main message to your allies who are still failing achieve 2% of gdp investment in the defense segment

. please tell me the situation of the implementation of such plans , are there any exceptions for allies who do not manage to allocate 2% of gdp, there are two separate things first of all, when we talk about regional plan e, it is actually the result of the discussion, ultimately the result of the threat posed by russia as a terrorist state, and in fact we have to understand what we should do in order to fight back. in the event of an attack , we should also develop a containment strategy. we are already talking at a more regional level , because the more detailed we act and plan, the more effective our actions will be, and that is, in fact, these are exactly

the requirements that come out of the planning process, because now we need to find out what exactly we need to strengthen, whether it is cyber security or others , that is, in order to implement all these different tasks, and therefore, in the end, i want to say that the alliance, if all nations think collectively , effectively implement what they agreed to in order to overcome these threats. so for the first time, today we have uh. we objectively approached the threats and connected it actually with the investments that we will demand from the participating countries, and that is why i think that those nations that are currently hesitating or that do not manage to single out those 2 %. now, after all, with such actions, we will convince these countries and involve them, even if their budget does not allow us to allocate such

a percentage of gdp, again, we are projecting this as a long-term investment, and therefore it is for the sake of the result, not only the investment, but also , in particular, the forces that should be military forces that should be ready at a specific moment , as well as this investment for the authorities and for those in command and in the supreme command. that is, this is detailed planning and exactly what we talked about today and of course, we are talking about capacity, so time is needed to ensure proper effectiveness, in particular, how military recruitment and military training will be carried out, and what exactly the investments will be used for, and of course this will take time, so the actual question of financing the defense sector is very important, because precisely on during the lneskyi itself, we will discuss this question in what way

, what size will the investment in security be in the long term, what percentage of gdp as once and will go to the defense budget, because this is what we are currently facing, i think this answer is quite complex, but actually everything has already been covered in the chairman's answer, so i will emphasize that today, for the first time in 30 years, we managed to work out an objective step-by-step action plan and in fact, this is an achievement for all participating countries. after all, everyone's attention will now be focused on the collective defense plan , and therefore it is a very important contribution. i also want to add that now we are here in action and we

are responsible for the development of future processes planning and actually taking into account all the operational challenges but also taking into account the medium and long term perspective , the next question is a question for everyone, and the important point is that now , in fact, the future of nato depends on the previously deployed equipment on the territory of the participating member countries, and in order to actually keep the logistics of the russians in sight what lessons have you actually learned from the russian-ukrainian war in order to use that knowledge effectively in

the event of aggression so we talked about logistics. we also talked a lot about the military and equipment, but what are the weak points of nato, because logistics is also a weak point in nato, and also how long it takes to transport military equipment in heavy equipment, as well as knowledge of infrastructure. the first plan, and therefore, of course, we are also talking about military elements and planning to make it happen, so i will start with the fact that for military e-logistics it is really very important to think through everything step by step. you are right in because for many decades we simply neglected these aspects, in fact large-scale logistics, which is very much

connected with collective defense, and in fact we did not foresee such a conflict and we worked through our operational tasks, but now it is precisely the influence, the significant influence of logistics, that requires planning and that is why we are now seeing a big war in ukraine and we will work on what we have neglected , we also now need to understand whether we understand what

we need to act according to which statements of structural requirements and exactly to start working consistently, it is only tanks, ships or fighter jets no, we are talking about what is necessary for proper logistics to take place, also our plans are divided into two categories , the first is functional plans, these are

strategic subcontracting plans, and the others are regional plans regional plans describe exactly how we will defend a particular geographic location, and functional plans describe how we will actually operate our assets with the most important aspects of these plans. precisely the process of ensuring the necessary necessary measures in order to achieve our goals and therefore when it comes to primary planning everything will now be reviewed in detail a-a based on how regional plans are implemented and therefore in fact now it will be possible to follow the relationship and also follow according to the amount of equipment, if there is such a need, and there may also be some

logistical gaps, for example, and in fact, now we have developed a road map in order to restore what is currently not working. therefore, this an important part of the investment plan, i also want to add. so, talking about the transformation of nato and in the context of logistics, of course, such moments will help us to have a better understanding and to act more quickly regarding such important challenges as problems with logistics. secondly , i want to say that the effectiveness of logistics depends on the support of all of our nations of all participating countries and so now we are trying to increase the way in which we help the private sector we saw that we could learn a lot from ukraine and therefore i want to say that

technologies now need to be used , in particular energy resources and again when we talk about spare parts then the issue of logistics comes to the fore again and as a conclusion i want to say that yes we we need to work on mobility in order to act more quickly . thank you, next question please, mr. admiral, you said today at the beginning of the meeting that the war has already been going on for 15 months, when russia planned to seize ukraine in three days. what is the effect on the russian troops of this miscalculation? how do you see it? what is the morale of the russian

army and what do you think? is there any victory that can be considered a victory for russia? i believe that any party involved in the war they may have issues of losses , a decrease in team spirit, as well as broken equipment and also a lack of ammunition. that is, it happens in both parties to the conflict , of course, moscow's miscalculation was a-a in that was in the strategic planning at the very beginning because they really counted on a three-day blitzkrieg war and they actually didn't even report the number of fire victims, in fact they also miscalculated logistically in a few days, their tanks already lacked fuel in another place, fuel was kept, that is, in fact , for a few days, for example, when preparing for

war for 5-6 days and there is already a problem with fuel in the case of ukraine. so there is a connection with other issues, because when it comes to the ability society to produce what you have lost, for example, ammunition, for example, new heavy equipment, new tanks, new artillery installations, also to attract new people, that is, there must be production, it is not only about the mobilization of resources, but also about the production of equipment. the question of resources, resources , human resources, material resources, and therefore russia is now actually using old, old equipment that they had in warehouses, we see it on the battlefield, and t-54 tanks are tanks that

they actually came off the assembly line in 1954, but they have so many of these tanks in our warehouses, and that is why now they want to buy in quantity, not quality, and that is why i think it is precisely this factor that can turn the war into such a long-term war, the russians will focus on this their attention, namely on the number of mobilized people, who are poorly prepared, as well as on old equipment, but which they have in sufficient quantity, but when the ukrainians, they focus on the quality of western equipment, as well as on training to the western training of their soldiers, i would also like to add that there is a certain degradation of the russian armed forces and we really see that it is completely inferior to the ukrainian armed forces and we have seen just the examples that my colleague mentioned when we say that in other and

other dimensions this degradation is much less. give us a few minutes to finish the press conference, please. so, ukraine is still asking for more equipment, more ammunition , it is asking for fighter jets. please tell us what we can promise the ukrainians today regarding just that you can give ukraine a question to the admiral, but whoever wants to can answer it, i want to say that today we actually did not discuss any specific amount of ammunition or equipment that ukraine needs, we understand that nato does not coordinate specific requests from ukraine

but in fact we are making up our own, this is an issue that is dealt with by the contact group on the defense of ukraine in the rammstein format, and therefore, in fact , the issues that you are asking about, we did not discuss the issues fighter jets, in fact, regarding the delivery of fighter jets, corresponding questions. so, you talked about two priorities today, precisely about planning. how to overcome russia and also terrorism. and did you mention china today ? it is difficult to talk about what you feel when you have urinary incontinence, an unpleasant situation can arise in any what a time even from a slight effort, luckily - it's behind me
