[000:00:00;00] and this is the limit that is now achievable from the point of view of these weapons , it is well, it significantly affects the way that russia used to accumulate stocks . that it will be added to them and the same rockets with the inscription made in france well, there was also talk that france would also join the training of ukrainian pilots, really that is an overdue step, but is it finally coming to this and what will this mean in practice for us well, indeed, the visit of the president of ukraine to european countries was accompanied by the fact that, in addition to the leaders of france and britain, they talked about the fact that it is necessary to write the formation of this fighter coalition, which provides for the future transfer of aircraft to ukraine, and

now with the base and pilots, talk about it is the prime minister of britain and this process is really important. but it is a bit late because , well, we wanted it much earlier, but we see that even these steps are extremely important in any case, now we still have to achieve to bring down changes in the position of the united states because uh, when today or yesterday night, washington time, i asked the spokesman of the pentagon whether the position of the united states would change in the transfer of uh, f-16 aircraft to ukraine, he avoided giving a direct answer, saying that we are leaving of those priority needs that ukraine faces today on the battlefield, and we remember that so far the us leadership has not made such a basic decision, although the main step required for the logistics of the transfer to ukraine in 16 is still from the united states

also information that the us ministry of defense has confirmed that there are already 31 abrams tanks in germany and ukrainian crews will be trained there . how long will it take to train these ukrainian crews and for these abrams to carry out their mission where they should be? well, we remember how quickly the ukrainian military the german leopards have taken over i think that the time indicators there are unlikely to exceed a month and a half for the er abrams but we understand the process er rather it depends on when the american side will complete the er the conversion of these abrams tanks that are being prepared for transfer to ukraine, they are talking about the fact that these 31 t abrams combat tanks will be transferred already in the fall. as i understand it, these tanks are probably going through.

it is this replacement that should be made. so it did not affect the combat qualities of this machine. i think that indeed in the fall, abrams 31 tanks will appear in ukraine, but what is the point, by this time we will already receive a significant number of tanks other models of these, first of all the leopards, which, as you understand, will bear the main burden in the penetration of the russian defense in the format of the spring-summer or summer offensive operation , for which the armed forces are preparing today. defense express was with us , they talked a little about the training of the ukrainian military and also about today's russian attack on the capital of ukraine . international news appeared already appeared on

not quite yet in public but we cannot call lukashenka's father the president because he is the one who was declared president illegitimate , in other words, his father is undergoing treatment , it is indeed confirmed that he has some unknown disease at the moment, here is a video from the intensive care unit where he is lying under a drip well, the photo is actually a small digression, our friends by the way , let's talk about lukashenka's health . what's wrong with him with a bandaged hand? in the morning there is a black belarusian positionist svitlana tikhanovskaya. but that will be in the next hour, and now we will talk about international events and the relationship with ukraine with the people's deputy of ukraine and the head of the committee on the integration of ukraine into the european union, and this is the premier the minister of which to warm integration in 2016-2019 ivan on klympush-tensa with us on the connection ms. ivanna good morning good morning you

are now in stockholm tell us exactly what is happening in stockholm and well , since sweden is the head of the european union during this six-month period until the end of june , the format of meetings of the members of the european affairs committees of the european union member states and the european integration committees from the partner countries and candidate countries is taking place here, and it is fundamentally important for us to participate with our colleagues in such platforms, because we use them not only to comment, let's say, and to speak at the plenary session, as well as to hold a large number of bilateral meetings with colleagues from both eu and eu countries let's say that of the european continent, but not necessarily members of this community

. not all meetings are simple, not all are easy, but definitely they are all based on the fact that different countries are ready to help in different ways in ukraine but there is something to work on, let's say. we had meetings with our swiss colleagues there, we know that until now there is still a problem of re-export of weapons, which a-a has parts that were produced er-er with the involvement of er swiss companies, at the moment there is no solution to this problem er we are we also met with other colleagues, let's say from slovakia, and we understand that the country is preparing for elections there, and, unfortunately, this will also affect the level of support for, say , ukraine now, and it is important to understand which political forces will continue to govern that country, how the political will develop the situation because the country is a border country because the country is a member of the european union and nato and the voice of this country is just as important as what ah every

other member of these communities is why eh hmm well we work here with colleagues today will be separate session a at the plenary session is dedicated to ukraine itself, the situation in ukraine and the needs of a both military and potential future recovery of ukraine and well, i am convinced that this is an additional opportunity for us to convey to our partners the urgency of various types of aid that is necessary for ukraine, but also the urgency of the need to continue this unity at the level of the european union and at the level of the north atlantic alliance in order to free education in order for ukraine to win ms. she if allowed to clarify regarding switzerland, just a few days ago, there was information that both chambers there apparently

voted to allow the export of weapons from other countries , unfortunately, no, unfortunately, there was a proposal now at the moment. they say that it would be much faster if the government proposed a solution and they would support it in the parliament, since this solution is currently being developed in the parliament, it takes much more time and is broken spears, there are those who support these decisions, there are those who believe that neutrality can be applied and must be applied in this and what about me in a black and white case when we are fighting universal evil and it seems to me that countries like switzerland should to have such a rod that would allow them, at least not to transfer weapons to ukraine

, but not to prevent others from providing military support in our country. to also have a meeting with our austrian colleagues, this is also a country that insists on its neutral status, although it helps us financially, it helps us with humanitarian aid, but at the same time, we see different positions even of politicians within these countries , who can help us move er hmm their traditional traditional things because let's say even sweden before this full scale war er russia against ukraine she only once in her history she gave

military aid during the winter war er russia against finland, the soviet union against finland, and this was the second time when they decided to provide aid last year, despite their purely neutral approach, sweden is trying to join nato, it's not about neutrality anymore, but at that time it was also such a tectonic shift, that's why austria is there is, let's say, ireland , which remains neutral and does not transfer weapons to us , but helps in various other ways and is one of the main promoters of ukrainian membership in the european union. not only the countries, let's say so, of the eastern part of the european union, but also such long-standing eu members as ireland, which has been a member of this community for 50 years, and can certainly help ukraine very significantly, ladies and gentlemen, i know that at such meetings there are a lot of

negotiations even later are being conducted behind the scenes, or are there any, i don’t know, maybe there are questions from your european colleagues about this war, because even in ukraine there are people who can be somewhere in the west of the country where it is calmer and do not fully understand what is happening on the front line and from time to time scandals are breaking out about the fact that there is a blogger who says that she does not believe in the victory of the armed forces and in general that ours are bad for theirs , then she apologizes, of course. and i suspect that in europe, well, there are definitely people who are there. they are not wrong or not interested. there is no sense of what war is, do you have any questions . do you tell them any personal stories or stories of your friends

? often a-a individual politicians with whom we have to communicate, they ask a direct question well, this is really so terrible and this is really so serious. you know, this is not the same photo that the media shows on their screens. and this is your personal experience , which you accompany with some kind of story about the people you talked to in one or another region of ukraine, and this of course changes changes settings we also always use the opportunity to invite our colleagues to ukraine and wish to come and see a-a hmm this is much stronger er-er for their further conviction and for their further actions than

seeing it on television screens or reading it in the printed media of the mass media information and we manage to come to an agreement, we agreed here on the next few visits of our colleagues from italy and spain . the european union will also depend on them, on their setting, how successful our further steps in the european integration component will be and how strong the support for ukraine will be, how high ukraine will be on the agenda of the european union. to ukraine, but also to hear, for example, kyiv this night heard and maybe some kind of hit, not too serious, although it still caused trouble, but

it added to the worries, and if you heard a european politician, i think it is without the rule is a very strong impression, even i will start my speech today during the panel that will be about ukraine, obviously , and thank our armed forces and air defense and anti-missile forces, and we should also thank our partners for providing us with those opportunities, and i will insist that their it was more that all the cities of ukraine could be so protected. and how was kyiv protected today? to ivan, i literally want to finish by asking , well, putin hoped, hoped that this war, which turned into a war of attrition, hmmm

prizes to the fact that he will simply last longer than the support of ukraine, or is there a feeling that this support is weakening, that the next year, for example, the months may be worse for us in the blue, especially military and financial support, or vice versa, is there a feeling that this and a machine that only spins up with the help of ukraine a-a i think that you and i should realize that this is part of our task , including parliamentary diplomacy , of course, traditional diplomacy, public diplomacy a-a of our government officials e-e president zelenskyi to ensure that they not only continue to help ukraine at the level it was at until now, but also increase this support, the main message is that none of us have the right to be tired, we as ukrainians cannot be tired, because we need to survive and win, but from how much they will help us effectively, their future and their safety

depend on that, so there are those who would like to get tired, there are those who would like to avoid additional sanctions packages, we see unfortunately, hungary has once again shown itself and has now blocked another a tranche with e hm yura pin signed a quote from this instrument through which military aid is paid at the level of the european eh european union for ukraine but eh well i hope that now such additional pressure will be created by all other member states of the european union to hungary, so that she still gives back, that's why there are these attempts, and that's why we have to continue our struggle , and i hope that we will succeed in convincing the world and only deepen and strengthen this aid, despite the fact that their resources are not infinite, thank you

thank you for telling us about this. ivanna klymposhtyntsa is a people's deputy of ukraine , the head of the committee on the integration of ukraine into the european union, the vice-prime minister, who was with us from stockholm in 2016-2019 from european integration, and now she will be with us again one vice-prime minister of ukraine for european affairs in 2005 and the chairman of the head of the analytical advocacy organization the center for joint actions of politicians and public figure oleg rybachuk p . well he again said that he would have ended the war in ukraine in 24 hours and the truth was that he did not explain again how three times in a row it seems in a row he avoided the question or how it was formulated in a journalistic way slon did not want to call russia the aggressor no one should win in

this war and so on, the elephant from this from this interview, this was already part of the debate about the upcoming elections, and it became clear that there will be a big problem if the americans decide to elect trump as their president to what extent. so, these are the fears that are justified, what is the current situation in the united states? well, i i watched this program live, but it’s mine, i have some kind of personal dislike for him. i’m losing political correctness and your antonia, i didn’t hide the fact that uh, it really surprises me how in the 21st century americans can elect such an inadequate person like him in general, he became the president, the chances are that he will be the president, he has his own

reinforced concrete support group, but i really hope that god loves not only ukraine , but protects america, and trump will not be president, because in fact, if you imagine the second coming of trump is a global catastrophe because we remember his position in the panath party, he was ready to destroy nato, he was ready to uh, uh, many things and uh, our hope for what he has now is enormous problems with the legal system, i.e. the first case that was celebrated there by american women when he was recognized in the fact that he sexually tried one of the journalists and then you

have a whole wave of statements and he loses the court according to the court , this is the most dangerous for him the investigation is not even in the secret documents. and he is in those uh on these in this speech on fox in the program where he had , as it were, a meeting with voters. he was directly asked about uh secrets and documents and he kept referring to the biker he well, i have certain ideas about the communication of a politician, and he simply violated the bulldozer, all imaginable and imaginable correct communication, he insulted a journalist , he just always dropped accusation after accusation, question after question, he looked very unconvincing, but since the audience was made up of his organic fans, he received his applause accordingly. he received a tremendous negative reaction from the press. and you, the media, you know that it is very difficult for a politician not to have the support of the press, and therefore i

will really hope that he will not become the president of the united states, but for us there is one lesson that is very important to avoid now, because we are drawn into these uh , representatives of the biden administration are also drawn into this duel well, of course, republics work and we need to be much wiser do not repeat those mistakes that we already had during the first time of the sixth trump, by the way, about the mistakes of the first advent and the whole war, now the struggle between the republicans and the democrats , the interview with zelensky in the washington post turned out to be quite scandalous, and it had some continuation, this was all about these leaks from the secret pentagon documents , and he tried to delete some parts of that interview, then they were returned, and then it was noticeable that those were unpleasant to zelensky's questions

of the journalists, he somehow tried to urge them, so to speak, that they should be supported ukraine, not russia. do not spread various generatives of russian disinformation and so on. the word looked quite like that. i didn’t really like my own opinion. to say how much. is this also part of this already internal political american struggle? no longer in such a heroic image , it appears in such publications and so on. and what is so absolutely right about it is the trend and such publications. how is your tone, the post just starts to lose or lower the bar of one's professionalism because, er , information appears and which is then distributed , and you know that sources

of information are very important for a journalist, and we already have such a typical er, collective image of some unknown source and from the pentagon who has access to but in that interview that you talked about there , the journalist who asked these questions behaved very unprofessionally, and that's why the american press wrote about it, and it was in the news, and the bbc talked about it, which is even louder. and electoral e electoral canada sounds even louder in our country, it is literally in them, it is figuratively political. and this is what i was talking about, that the attempt to destabilize ukraine, drag ukraine into pre-election battles, it will only grow and we need to hold on. so far

, there is no reason to do you know any such? well, they are in a desperate mood because the company is gaining momentum. president biden and most likely trump are competing again. it is not a fact that he will make it to the primaries, but simply that the republican party has a serious problem. i once told you about this that trump is... he actually doesn't the republic he uh changed the republican party he created his own fan club and in case he doesn't win the primaries and can't run the candidate of his party he might have enough bad sense to just call on his voters and create something my own some topic my social network yes i read a lot of my yes also a lot about the fact that while he was the president

they actually had a purge at the local level . that is, all the governing bodies and the party itself. also, almost all of the congressmen became senators. trumpists, that is, if you did not receive approval from trump, then you had no chance of being elected, and so he was restructured, and the very structure of the party itself, that is, even he received a colossal image blow, because he is alone, and i also talk a lot about this but he persuaded me to single-handedly choose candidates and practically all those whom he supported lost the by-elections. this is a good sign . others

different countries are visiting a special representative of china, what does this mean in principle? did china decide somehow or does that plan really exist? is it just that we already have two plans ? the pope said there was a secret plan for a meeting in rome between representatives of ukraine and russia, i would really like to imagine what kind of representatives these are and what they are talking about, but there, too, everything is covered by a fog of misunderstanding. and yet rome confirms that such a plan exists and they are above him the chinese plan is working, in principle, we have not heard anything new, we have only heard that china is not going to provide weapons to russia, and we have heard that the representative, and the ex-ambassador of china in russia, will visit the countries of the region with such a trip, in general, everything

he can promote peace, we must unite. i repeat again that china has one very strong position - it is a categorical rejection of any methods of using nuclear weapons , tactical or strategic. china maintains this position very sharply, but as everyone writes practically reviews or that china's peace plan could be reduced to one point: respect for international sovereignty and the inviolability of borders, which china declared . in the first point of its plan, it was indicated that russia should withdraw from ukraine and return all occupied territories try to change them, so let's see what will be clear from this that china will continue this initiative but again i i read a lot of different e-books i have no

doubts because china really this is what i often say deep in my soul it is absolutely not our partner does not share our values, but he wants to find his place in international politics, and since he takes great care of his economy, i repeat that the american , european, and national largest markets are difficult for him to imagine that the chinese leadership is ready to sacrifice such huge e-e interests for the sake of supporting putin, who is simply dying before our eyes. but ideologically, putin is much closer to disappearing than zelensky or any democratic leader there is a minute left, but it is important that there are questions related to such ukrainian scandals, the head of the supreme court of princes seems to have caught him nabu nabu on a bribe of 3 million dollars. here are the photos of confirmation on the sofa , a huge pile of dollars. well, it’s true that i

counted less than half a million. well, maybe i ’m counting badly it's simple, but, that is, princes , a person who passed the competition seems to have a good reputation. that's why it's like that well, you saw for a minute literally the salaries that there salaries start there from 300-400,000 to almost a million a month, that is, people were not begged and that there were searches in 18 of all the courts, here we are not even talking about personnel. we will have a diagram, you know how they look, how bees carry it up, this is a diagram that was revealed to me, this is an indicator that ukraine was beginning ukraine, well, zelenskyi bankova, here it is already interesting tatar, already the material, because of everything with this system but what do we see, what now in

in june, there will be a review of ukraine's readiness to meet the preconditions for the start of negotiations on membership of the european union , and these actions are designed to send a signal to the west. many more books remained at large , we need to produce results, and i also said about this before that zelensky simply has no way out of ukraine, there is no way out, and they understand each other very well, they cannot deceive their partners and imitate the fight against corruption it is necessary to eradicate corruption at this time, but it seems that we will plant friends at the very last moment , it seems that thank you mr. oleg oleg rybachuk was with us . a fresh selection well, ira

, i will also tell you and our viewers that in the next hour we expect in our teri yuriy ignat, the spokesman of
