[000:00:00;00] seriously, the youngest was injured, only 8 years old, all the victims were taken to hospitals, they are now in the hands of doctors, more news will be given by anna eva melnyk. antin and i say goodbye to you. have a good evening. take care, and next news, stay with espresso. anna eva, i have a word for you. good evening, colleagues in in this final edition , the news editor will tell in particular about the fact that the bail was reduced but the preventive measure was extended for the ex-judge of the supreme court, how the recovery process is moving after the explosion of the kakhovka hpp by the moneylenders, and about the new package of military details of aid for our country, a male in vilnius is waiting for volodymyr zelensky's speech, the head of state arrived in

the lithuanian capital by a polish state plane. the summits discuss the wording without ukraine and this wording only regarding the invitation and not regarding the membership has no time frame for both the invitation and the membership of ukraine and when instead, some strange wording is added about the conditions even for inviting ukraine, it seems that there is no readiness either to invite ukraine to nato or to make it a member of the alliance , and then we watch live the press conference of agent stoltenberg regarding membership in nato

, annual aid, support for ukraine so that it transitions from soviet-style weapons to nato, as well as in order to cover critical needs for fuel and demining equipment, as well as questions about the ukraine nato council, we will meet with representatives of ukraine at the level and we are also talking about tomorrow's inaugural meeting of the ukraine nato council for the participation of president zelensky we understand today that ukraine will become a member of nato and we also agreed to withdraw the pdp on the way to ukraine's membership in nato and this will facilitate the process of joining nato for to ukraine, we also said together that we will give

ukraine an invitation to nato, when the conditions are agreed upon, this is a powerful package for ukraine , as well as a clear path to its clear clear road map on its way to nato, our allies as well have approved a comprehensive defense plan since the second world war, we aim to combat terrorism and russia and threats from russia, we aim to have 300,000 troops in full combat readiness, a certain level of streamer restraint, and also what the leaders have now committed to in order to increase arms production, to strengthen our own productive competence and also to increase investments in the defense segment. we should invest more according to the latest estimates, we can say that the expenses

of our european partners, as well as canada will grow to in 2023 to a mark of more than eight percent and this is the largest increase in the last decade they invested and they invested in more than 450 billion dollars in the defense sector now we well how to say that the threshold of two percent it is significantly increased and next year it will grow and going forward today, our allies have made a long-term, long-term commitment to strengthen and strengthen the production of weapons and they commit now to uphold what they agreed to today when we

talk about china we must not perceive china as our enemy, we must continue to repair the dialogue with china now, in fact, china's actions are really undermining the issue of international order, and also china refuses to condemn russia's actions regarding the invasion of ukraine , china's nuclear modernization has now increased in scale and speed and is now being carried out without any transparent mechanisms and so if we say our allies have now agreed to concentrate their efforts to coordinate and monitor the course of events in

china, we are safer and stronger when we are together are ready to answer the question greetings greetings who is already negative and critical of the fact that you have just voiced the fact that it is actually about ukraine's path to nato, you actually talked about what the nato countries agreed on what the signals would be for ukraine and at the moment there is a certain disappointment so what was agreed today it is a powerful single message for ukraine, it is an expression of support, as well as a positive signal regarding prospective membership in nato, the package includes practical support that will truly provide ukraine with coordinated ukrainian armed forces forces and elite troops from advertising, a very important point is the actual elimination of the pdc, which means that in fact

ukraine immediately has a simplified procedure for joining ukraine, we can also say that the invitation will be given to ukraine when ukraine will meet all the necessary conditions. in addition to this, i want to add that of course our allies provide and will continue to provide significant military assistance now with an urgent problem. the future membership of ukraine in nato and therefore the help provided by our partners since 2014, in particular after the full-scale invasion of last year and until today , is truly impressive, and that is why in the last few days our allies have made new statements , in particular france france has announced

the supply of a-a long-range missiles as well as other countries have provided, in particular, the united states will provide more weapons, as well as many other allies, including training between france and ukraine regarding the training of ukrainian pilots on f-16 fighters - this a powerful message that gives a really positive signal to kyiv, a representative of the ukrainian mass media, please thank you. so, the question is whether we can expect the final communique regarding ukraine today, or will it be tomorrow, or is it possible to be more detailed, please, regarding the conditions that

are necessary, in which ukraine must meet in order to initiate the adoption procedure and in order to receive an invitation we have already agreed on the communiqué and also the package for ukraine, this was already agreed by the leaders and the participants of the summit and i talked about the essential key points and, of course, we are talking directly about the action of the nato council of ukraine on the elimination of the pdf, as well as other additional points provided by our allies, including the announcement that was made today, and in recent days, i want to say that i am in close communication with representatives of our allies, in particular, with ukrainian representatives zelenskyi in particular, and i am really looking forward

to meeting him today, and i am also looking forward to the inaugural meeting of the ukrainian nato council, which will take place tomorrow, where we will discuss the three elements that will really bring secretary of ukraine to the alliance so, returning to president zelenskyi's remarks, he said that if in fact, it is very unfortunate if no time frame has been defined regarding the invitation and also

regarding ukraine's membership in nato, how do you comment on this, we agreed that the package that was discussed and accepted today it is very external with many elements that really contribute to the advancement of ukraine on the way to nato, it is practical assistance that actually emphasizes reforms in the defense sector, this is precisely one of the conditions that is decisive for membership, we are talking about a practical way of bringing ukraine closer to nato, we are suggesting how to do it. we also sent strong political signals, which is precisely about membership , the context of which is actually all written in the communique, and i think that there has not been such a strong signal from nato to ukraine, in particular when it comes to and about the political project and

about practical assistance, military assistance to ukraine in terms of how to ensure operability and compliance with the conditions on the part of ukraine, and therefore if you look at all the processes related to joining nato in history, we we understand that, of course, all periods, time frames, they were, and they were based on compliance with the conditions of the secretary general. so, the baltic sea really becomes part of nato, because nato is currently transferring about 300,000 soldiers to combat readiness, what will this mean for the baltic countries, as well as countries such as sweden, finland and poland, what does this mean for russia and how historic is this moment? yes, it is a historic moment

. finland and sweden will also be members of nato . finland is already a full member of nato. this is simply an agreement that was reached between the president of turkey and the prime minister of sweden, we understand that sweden will also become a full member of nato, this is a historical moment that is important both for all members of the alliance and for finland, but especially it is decisive for the entire baltic region , because looking at the map, we realize that there is an opportunity to actually strengthen the baltic baltic region, and now the security situation there will improve significantly , thanks in particular to the membership of finland and sweden

, and therefore the competitive ability is strengthened and the power of the entire region is a clear signal in this regard, and this emphasizes the openness of the alliance's doors, because nato is ready to expand . russia has no right to determine which path this or that state should follow. we are not talking about words, we are talking about concrete deeds, and now we want to send a message to country and ukraine now has good results

, they shed more light on the conditions. i understand that you cannot voice them all now, but please tell me how these conditions will be determined. i agree because i am afraid that you can really often read that nato actually gave up the pf for ukraine, but they invented some other pf, they just called it differently, called it the so-called condition to say and write it down in the room that ukraine went beyond the requirements for the pf, because ukraine has become much closer to nato, it actually participates and she participated in the bucharest summit in 2008, and now you see it is completely different

and there are very objective reasons for this . especially since 2014, when our military began training and equipping the ukrainian military, as well as after the full -scale invasion, ukraine has demonstrated its strong ability to teach skills and education, and it is increasingly integrated into nato standards. has been providing ukraine since 2014, it is not only about battle tanks, not about modern air defense systems, we are talking about a comprehensive approach, in fact , about doctrines responsible for the nato standards that ukraine now adheres to coming soon, the justy style defect is due to the fact that a lot of weapons are now being supplied to ukraine

, in particular, when we started training your pilots on f16 fighters, this will be an additional component actually to increase the overall potential of ukraine so that it matures to nato standards, and that is why it really is a rapprochement of ukraine on the way to nato membership, and it also reflects the fact that nato has come closer to ukraine when we talk about the conditions prescribed in article 10 a transport of the atlantic treaty of the washington treaty and we we are talking about the alliance, our allies will assess whether ukraine meets the necessary conditions, and therefore it is very important that all participants and all allies agree. therefore, i want to support this topic

before me, the text that was adopted at the bucharest summit, we read it and reread it during the last days it was actually about the desire of ukraine and georgia to become members of nato. could you explain exactly for ordinary people here in the union and in ukraine, they want to know what was agreed at the summit today, please explain please, what is the difference between the text during the bukharev summit in 2008 and between those agreements that were reached today, the most important difference is probably the next step, which was the action plan for nato membership, and now we are talking about eliminating this element for today everyone is talking about the fact that ukraine should be accepted as a member in the next step, but now we have simplified this process. we have taken this step completely off

the path that ukraine is currently on or to nato and we repeatedly repeat this because it is a defining moment and that is why when we say that it is now important for nato to make this decision, it was not easy to make this decision , we received the approval of all our participants and that is why when we speak during the informal meeting of the heads of foreign affairs in oslo we just talked about this, what will be the speed of what will be implemented from our meeting in may . we decided to do this in order to shorten this road map for ukraine, so the difference is obvious, the second difference is that now we we understand what the program is, how we can help ukraine get closer to nato, and this is actually a multi-vector system that includes a comprehensive approach, strengthens our

political ties, as well as actual cooperation with the ministry of foreign affairs, which will also involve these representatives of all our participating countries for in order to assess the current progress we continue to provide equipment and weapons equipment as well as training to ukrainian soldiers, so there are a lot of contrasts here, but it is also very important in 2008 ukraine was very far from nato and now it is extremely close to us mr. secretary please tell me, you talked about the membership of sweden and you called it a historic moment, but now we still do not know when the ratification will take place, in particular in

ankara and in hungary. when will it be? can you say about the feelings that floated today during the meeting with the representatives of the government from the governments and the presidents , and also what was the feeling after you received the green light from turkey, of course i want to say that it is very important for the turkish government to do its part in the finalization of the ratification regarding the signing of all documents regarding the admission of sweden to nato but of course i as a former parliamentarian i think it is important to prepare individual programs for each government because they are truly individual so the test why yesterday's agreement is historic i want to say that we received a clear promise from president

erdogan that he really will file for ratification and that he will actually work with the turkish parliament to secure such ratification that is why this is a historic moment today during our meetings, we talked about it many times, because all our participants welcomed the prime minister of sweden, i also welcomed the president in finland, because it was the first nato summit in which he participated as finland as a full member of nato. we also welcomed the prime minister in fact, we are all waiting for sweden to join nato as soon as possible, so i felt a historical

feeling that history is being made. the last question is very important. now we see that everyone wants to have a clearer understanding of what is the condition. in an interview with the family, president baiken really said that ukraine does not meet all the requirements to become a member of nato. what is the condition ? why can't she receive an invitation yet? we have to understand that there are two dimensions and the first is the level or uh. and why are you, by the way, if i were the mobile one, the defense departments will be modernized, how can governance be strengthened, including the fight against corruption, this

is a question about which uh, we raised during any expansion of nato, because we understand that we want to have a new ally that does not have these problems. we also want to have an ally that will have a strong military that will meet nato standards. we are also talking about security institutions, which are very important that they functioned properly, there is also another dimension that we are talking about , we understand that there is currently a war going on in ukraine. the ukrainian armed forces do not cease to amaze with their competence and training. therefore, all our allies agreed that when the country is in a state of war, it is not the time to give ukraine the opportunity to become a member of nato. that is, there are two different dimensions

of the issue of governing the fight against corruption and compliance with nato standards. independence. is it going for or not and another aspect. that the war is still going on and that is why our allies should assess before we carry out another increase of the ally whether ukraine really meets all the conditions. as soon as this is done, ukraine will receive the invitation is important that we now have a whole toolkit that will help ukraine get closer to nato membership, we see one of the components of this invitation, but in the first story the question of the action plan regarding nato membership was eliminated , ukraine does not have this aspect - it skips over it and that is why when we ask ourselves what can we

do in order to speed up this path, everything is written in detail in the comic. thank you. unfortunately, the time for our press conference has run out. we will see you tomorrow . thank you. good evening. we are from ukraine. nato, french missiles for the armed forces and german patriots minus the general in zaporizhzhia destroyed the enemy headquarters forward in the south of the battles of bahmuti and cotton in the enemy rear, as well as the terrible blows of the rashists in kherson and zaporizhzhia, which are walls for fuel and anomalous price zone on the danube , we will talk about this and other things with you colleagues for the next hour and 30 minutes , this is a big program. also, we just listened to my name is vasyl zima, we just listened to the secretary general

of nato and gens stoltenberg, who said that the pdc was removed, but it is too early to talk about membership in fact, there was supposed to be a speech today about the official invitation of ukraine to nato. we were supposed to give a speech today, er, jackasal ivan, but it was postponed to tomorrow, and there is hope that something like that might be corrected in the text, but when it is ready, it has been approved by us and we how can we tell you, we should have worked with our partners, you know, this is such a mature story , the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, here he can certainly be blamed for this, although , well, at least i don’t blame him. spoke angrily about the indecisiveness of perhaps certain member countries of the leaders of the nato member countries, because some of them, you know, with some ferocity of the lviv lions, probably defended the ukrainian positions that ukraine should be in nato, at least be behind nato

, others had certain reservations, this in particular, the united the united states of america and germany , and not only these countries, we also have wonderful friends in nato - this is hungary, who are always against what concerns the security and european integration of ukraine for obvious reasons, in one word, the situation is not easy, and this is adulthood, you know adulthood it started when the great invasion began, when it was always thought that all the troops on the border were hostile to me, we always had troops on the border, the russians were the people, mr. president said, they won't be able to attack us on a full scale, all this is childish, naive dreams about what is in reality, but that's life life is completely different, it is completely different from our children's ideas and dreams about what life is like , it is what it is, you have to perceive it, understand that not everything in this life revolves around you, just like not everything at the nato summit now

revolves around ukraine, you have to integrate yourself into this life and you have to defend your position that you want in this life . so, in addition to the fact that negotiations are still ongoing , discussions are ongoing regarding the provision of certain guarantees of assistance to ukraine. really, help for ukraine has already arrived. i will say there are long-range or long-range serhii is going to tell more in the fall, i will ask about it scalp missiles, we were waiting for taurus or missiles from germany, this is exactly the class of missiles that we will receive from our partners from the foggy albion this is where where did we receive a storm of rain from great britain the storm rained today very qualitatively and effectively hm manifests itself at the front, in particular in the zaporizhia region in the occupied by the enemy in berdyansk lieutenant general tsokov was eliminated , the generals there sokol was already the 300th now he has already become the full-fledged two hundredth, and it has been confirmed even by the russian side that lieutenant general sokol, who was the deputy commander of the southern military district of yuvo

in russia, this is what our south is called was liquidated precisely because the stormshed rocket hit the command post of this army of theirs, now they have forgotten the number of this army, which is based in the south of our country , which actually conducts defensive operations on the occupied territory of zaporizhzhia, but lieutenant general sokov was, well, he became the two hundredth one word and this again well, the work of storm shadow somewhere, our scouts or partisans or i don’t know who gave the tip, once everything was recorded, they took the course and the tsokov was gone. yeah, we’re actually going to talk about zaporizhzhia now, because i think we’re still from kherson i won't be back today, everything is happening because we know everything today revolves around vilnius. now, for a second, i'll open my pop-ups, i'll tell you who we have from zaporozhye, because i have them, or they'll tell me about our guest. this is soyeva with us today, a journalist and deputy
