[000:00:00;00] return our territories just as they returned our northern territories that were occupied by russia, we must also return the eastern and southern territories of ukraine, we dream of returning our people who are now in russian captivity, these are prisoners of war, civilians , deported adults and stolen children, we dream of victory, we dream of peace after our victories, but for this to happen we have to lose, not only this aggressor has to lose the ambition of the war as such and this is what is important for everyone in the world , i am here in hiroshima so that this is where the world comes from heard the ukrainian call for unification, russia has trampled on everything that is civilized. it has continued the occupation of our

largest nuclear power plant, the largest in europe, for more than a year. russia is the only terrorist state in the world that fired tanks at the building of the nuclear power plant, no one else made the nuclear power plant a training ground for storage of weapons and shells, russia is hiding behind a nuclear plant to bombard our cities with jet artillery, if anyone in the world is still able to ignore other war crimes of russia , such a crime of hers against humanity definitely can this is what we say. ukraine, which had to survive the chernobyl radiation disaster in 1986, and until now part of our land is a closed zone, a zone of exclusion, imagine. it is through this zone

that the russian troops launched a major offensive, because they did not dig trenches right in those forests where they were buried in soviet times . radiation contamination of the material, if left without consequences, such a level of evil and stupidity as is in the actions of russia, the world will inevitably become ruins, it is only a matter of time when other criminals in public positions will want similar soldiers if allowed russia should keep at least a scrap of the territory occupied by it, international law will never apply again. ukraine proposed an honest and realistic peace formula. its first point is radiation and nuclear safety. russia must renounce radiation and nuclear blackmail of the world. it must hand over the nuclear plant currently occupied by ukraine under the full control of ukraine and the mega-tat. our peace formula has 10 points and the meaning of each of them

is confirmed by the resolutions of the united nations organization, there are all the events that end russia's war against our country, but but the strength of the ukrainian peace formula is that by stopping russian aggressive ambitions and restoring russia's violated security , we will give the world one additional result, we will paralyze other potential aggressors when everyone who wants war will see how united the world is and resolutely when he wants peace there will be no sense even to start a war, until now the world did not have such a formula that could stop the aggressors . ukraine offers it

. invasion of ukraine, only peace reigned, we people have different cultures, different views, different nations, flags yes, but we equally want security for ourselves, for our children, for our grandchildren, and our lives are the same, burn to ashes , if god forbid, war is coming, everyone in the world must do everything it is possible that from the warriors there will only be shadows on the fireplace history and that it can be seen only in museums everyone in the world should respect other nations everyone in the world should recognize state borders everyone in the world should protect justice everyone in the world should to take care of life everyone in the world should perceive peace as their duty and i thank you hiroshima for every blue and yellow flag on the streets these

days when there is when there is a ukrainian flag - this is evidence that there is faith in freedom there is faith in life there is faith in our people thank you thank you japan mr. prime minister mistakes shida thank you very much all the japanese people thank you for your comprehensive support eternal memory to all the victims warriors let there be peace glory to ukraine dear fellow journalists the president of ukraine is ready to answer a few of your questions for for questions we have microphones uh on the left and right of the hall in a live queue format ready to take questions let's first from alger yes champion james bestsager mr. president was certain certain confused

about your comments about bakhmut could you clarify the situation in bakhmut is the battle for the city still going on and the difficult part of my question was the defense of bakhmut worth all the effort and the most important of all the lives lost, we don't have simple questions and get simple answers because we have very difficult neighbors, thieves, terrorists, difficult the enemy but we keep fighting thanks to the courage of our people our warriors and thanks to our intelligence we do not let people die for us people are a treasure this is the most important thing that we have and there are no misunderstandings i clearly understand what is happening in bakhmut and we all clearly understand why everything is for this is happening. i cannot share with you the tactical views

of our military, our tactics in general, but today we see that a country that can no longer occupy us ten times over cannot win this war, and we understand what else a little bit and we will win and that's why we act the way we act, valuing people's lives, the most difficult thing is if there was some kind of military tactical error in bahmut and people could be surrounded, then you know all the military they know that children how can we allow and that our people were captured by the enemy, today they are performing a very important task , today they are in bakhmut , i will not share what points, but this indicates that bakhmut is not currently covered by the russian federation

, there can be no two or three interpretations of this. thank you for question action code dear colleagues, allow me to remind you again, we accept questions without raising our hands but approaching the microphones on the left and right in the hall second question from the voice of america ukraine thank you mr. president misha komandovsky as a white house correspondent i will switch to ukrainian when i see you you were in the oval office of the white house, and it was then that the issue of the transfer of patriot systems to ukraine was decided. now you are in hiroshima, and we see that the main decision among the allies is about ukrainian training of pilots does this mean that the issue of the transfer in 15 e in 16 ukraine has been resolved and when these planes will appear in ukraine thank you thank you for your question we really worked hard for a long time worked politically with our partners to get the desired result of strengthening our skies in addition to air defense we are grateful for

we are really grateful to the united states of america as the leaders in terms of support in this direction and to our other partners, so in addition to ppps of various formats , you know that this is a global system, we are not only talking about petriv for what was transferred to us we were grateful for the powerful package of arrests, we are grateful for the samshi, and this is a really large number, which today is not enough to protect our sky . nevertheless, part of this must be carried out by the western format aviation, and that is why we worked so hard on it and today it is open to us the training mission is the first step . then there is an appropriate number of months for the training of our pilots. we will work so that these

people are as much as possible. to shorten the training process and for them to appear, well, the strengthening of our state, especially the strengthening of the r-defense, i can't tell you now how many planes we will manage to get , i can't tell you exactly when it will be, we will speed it up, because it is important for us , we lose people every day thank you. thank you very much. your question, please. congratulations. zelensky maken will play from canada. today you met with our prime minister justin trudov. he did not announce any new aid and weapons. are you satisfied with canada's help from canada? from ukraine in recent a few months, so that you understand, we have a very strong relationship with canada, there are some things that certainly cannot be publicly commented on yet, there are things that we are working on , but nevertheless, canada supports us, we

are talking today with a powerful block of machines regarding demining, you know that this is the presence of thousands of square kilometers, it is because russia is not just an enemy, they behave not even like an enemy, like a terrorist, they mined our appalachians, really 10 hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and here, oh, help, even one state will not be enough and that is why we say that canada has supported us with this package, not only that, the supply of the corresponding machines has already started from the canadian side, uh , your question is bloomberg, please. yes , thank you, mr. president. i would like to ask you , have you met many people here leaders during the meeting of the great seven but one leader you didn't see was brazilian president lula. i wonder why it didn't

happen and the reason why i'm asking about it because russia is the aggressor of this war and er, they said that they hope to be one of the last aggressors, but some of the leaders present here are not seen so clearly. how do you think? why yes and how can we do more to stop such countries as brazil, india and china from sending resources to russia? for your question, first of all, we do not have evidence today that brazil , china, and india respectively send specific weapons, although i will tell you frankly that i contacted the world with the relevant leaders so that there would be no corresponding steps, and this is the second time that it is very important for us that today we all have gathered, this is already appropriate. it seems to me to be a step and a signal, and it is a very important task for us to involve everyone in the peace formula

, which is based on our experience and on our proposals, which i also presented at the g20 summit in indonesia. last year, time passed, we did a very good job. and today we should involve as many countries as possible regarding the first founding summit. i think that this is an important political pressure on the aggressor, and that is why this was today. i meet with everyone i meet with almost all the leaders but everyone has their own schedules i think that's why we couldn't meet with the president of brazil i'm sorry but you 're disappointed that you didn't manage to find time to meet with him that disappointed you

i think it disappointed him thank you next question at the end of the rest did you visit the atomic bomb museum today what did you remember there also so that you could tell the japanese people especially the people of hiroshima because uh we understand that you are asking for the provision of weapons and that not all people in japan, especially here in hiroshima, support this idea, maybe it’s worth talking more about hiroshima

and the negotiations for the peace of hiroshima and the third inomania that are happening in our country. historically, it’s not entirely fair to compare, although i’ll tell you , i’ll tell you frankly, today, and the first question was again about bakhmut and i will tell you what i will say openly that the photos of the destroyed hiroshima remind me absolutely , absolutely, they remind me of bakhmut and other such towns, there is absolutely nothing alive, all the buildings are destroyed, there is no understanding even where street, where is the building, that is, it is just an absolute total destruction, there are no people, there are none and what is the comparison here, as you say

, symbolism, also what i want to say is that we see where we are today, this is a modern city that looks like a consumer, important with respect to the people to to values ​​and here are photos of the tragedy of hiroshima and that is why we see and i believe that the same will happen in bakhmut and in our other towns and villages, etc. it will definitely be like that unfortunately today it is a tragedy but in the future there will be reconstruction and that is why when you say we please i'm being honest i think it doesn't look quite right again, we don't ask. i want to thank your leadership for inviting us and this joint vision of the future world - this is a joint

reconstruction, and because ukraine protects common values, thousands of square kilometers have been destroyed. it's just a horror donbas, which the president came putin telling everyone and setting up the world and some of those countries that the journalist spoke about today, and setting up that he is saving the lives of russian-speaking people, so here is the whole donbas, where there were many russian-speaking people, here he is this is what it looks like today, unfortunately, it is as tragic as hiroshima used to look, right microphone, questions please, thank you very much, president zelenskyi, i am from a local media called nbs, i wanted to ask you, did you just visit our museum, which is very close

, was there any image, what is still there you have in your memory what will you share when you return to ukraine and also what does the kernel mean to you in general thank you for the question you know yes there are really um there are a lot of tragic photos absolutely children little children before death, a terrible photo, we have the same photos, well, just tears. and it’s just a lack of tragedy. as a whole, people are capable of such things, especially with children . to be honest, i don’t quite understand . i don’t have an adequate diagnosis for this, you know. i

can’t understand. i am not a doctor to understand this disease, so i am not a doctor to understand the sick, but the russians who treat us like that, and the tragedy that i saw in your photos, all this is very similar , and i said about the shadow in my speech not by chance , because i also saw a photo there from of a person, only a shadow was left that sat and nothing remained of a person, a completely burned life is also a tragedy, and i decided to say about it precisely in the speech about the shadow that putin wanted to leave from our state, i found such an association. excuse me, but it had such an impression on me on the right at the end of the question, please zelenskyi mr. zelenskyi bbc news i have three questions for you, i hope you are not talking about the first one, what weapons are promised on the big seven and who provided what , secondly, how sure are you that they

will provide you with f16, because so far no country has them they also promised the third when the counteroffensive will take place what conditions must be met before you start answering your questions the first question yes i'm sorry i got a bit tired the first was about weapons yes the first was what weapons would i agree on what weapons with the leaders of the big seven who are you with we met, who will provide what weapons, everyone will provide them in good quality. how sure are you that you will receive an f16 , considering that no

country has yet to work on this? that we have unlocked the training mechanism for the f16, that is, we will have planes . i can't tell you yet how much it is not a secret. i really don't know about the weapons against which i don't want to speak, but for now because they simply don't exist and but all the same, the question is, as always, a global issue of artillery, which concerns your third question regarding the counteroffensive. please excuse me. all your questions are such that i have to answer them so far in a very general way. russia will feel when there will be a counteroffensive . thank you, dear colleagues, i remind you one at a time. question let's respect everyone else here er left question thank you mr president channel 10 australia you met with two leaders

of major democracies with india and australia who are not members of the g7 what do you think you got from these conversations with mr modi and mr albanese the registry office said that he does not rule out the offer of military aid to ukraine, he wants to ensure negotiations with your government , have you had any discussions about something new that australia will do and on the surface we are working with australia, this is true, there are no details yet we had some supplies, we are grateful for these support packages, we had a good meeting, a visit to kyiv and i am very grateful for that, or in principle, the visits of all leaders who are not afraid during the war and have been to ukraine, as for australia, india in general the seven countries are not the main thing for us. understand, we don't have random meetings

. i can't afford randomness due to the fact that we have a war. i really don't have time for this and we were in saudi arabia. we are working on attracting the maximum number of countries from different a-a absolutely from different continents to involve them all in diplomatic pressure on russia because of the peace formula offered by ukraine. that is why all these meetings are important for us, not even to insist on participating in the summit no, but to be clear because because sometimes we understand that it is very difficult to fight against the narratives of the information war that russia started many years before it started a full-scale invasion of ukraine, it has been fighting and winning for many years on

different continents in different countries i think that even some countries do not understand that they have lost the information war there and now there is no time. to be honest, i talked about talking about these details, it's too much, it 's not all that we can do today, it 's to correct this situation, but we need to talk about it with the facts to show here i am grateful to you as representatives of the journalistic society for what you show, inform , tell the truth, some countries need this truth to reach more often thank you at the end of the hall , please ask a question good evening, president zelenskyi, thank you very much for your speech. my name is kathleen vendose. i am from japantimes. we are the first question. your visit was a surprise and some say that it diverts attention a little from hiroshima and nuclear

disarmament. what do you say about this? it is not a surprise. and i was invited to participate in the meeting . seven, but the participation could be online, the participation is offline unexpectedly due to security measures and due to the fact that, in addition to the seven , there were other countries involved in the fields themselves. it is very important that the meetings finally take place in ukraine. the conversation was really a discussion of issues regarding ukraine and other and other difficult situations in the world, but the war in ukraine received a lot of attention. i believe that i should be here to thank the states that helped us all this time and unblock some issues in advance, we understood

that i need to pass and then there will be an appropriate result . i am grateful for this that we found this opportunity to be here and unlock some questions, they are important, two more questions please and we will complete your right zelensky president and zelensky thank you very much for that answer our questions. i'm from the new york times. you mentioned diplomatic pressure, but considering how this diplomatic pressure is happening on russia, would you like countries like japan and south korea to send lethal weapons to support ukraine? thank you for your question. we must understand with you today . this was probably my main thesis and i am very glad that i don't know if everyone was in favor, but definitely no one was against, this is a very important point regarding diplomatic pressure on russia and

regarding certain formats of diplomatic the solution to the war that is taking place in ukraine is the main thing - it is respect for the un charter and international law, and russia has no chance of any diplomatic ways while its troops are in violation of our territorial integrity, sovereignty, violation of all laws of international law are on our territory, and we for it is very important to me, it is diplomatically important, it is important to unblock and understand that we all understand that as long as the russian troops are on the territory of ukraine , no one will have any business with them. it is very important next as for the other steps - this is the peace formula. there are many crises and it is clear how to solve them regarding food security, nuclear security, the return of our children

, 20,000 deportees, this is officially recorded, but we do not know how many children russia stole such there are many crises for one state, well, it is difficult to solve, to be honest, and here i am satisfied with the fact that i heard support from the states and members, and today's meeting also concerns weapons, yes. i would very much like to all the states that are able to give us help, that they helped us but i understand that there are legal or constitutional difficulties, movies, television, sports

, music, education, the free have a choice, choose what you want on megogo, this is spotlight ukraine today in the issue, russia continues to shell kyiv to identify places of dislocation air defense systems dagger or patriot what and with what was shot down in kyiv zelenskyy's eurotour will ukraine get new fighter jets greece opposed the supply of weapons to the armed forces and ukrainians are forced to serve in

the estonian army we congratulate russian fakes propaganda, don't miss it, don't be punished, evil always returns may 21 memorial day for the victims of political repression i congratulate you, dear tv viewers, it's time to learn about the most important events of what is happening in ukraine and the world, and this episode begins with this volodymyr zelenskyy did not confirm the capture of bakhmut by the russians, the spokesman emphasized of president serhii nikiforov, the western media reported that the president of ukraine during the gs summit allegedly acknowledged the loss of bakhmut and declared that he was quoting bakhmut only in our hearts, but later zelenskyi's press secretary serhii nikiforov
