[000:00:00;00] well, first of all, i invited mr. nathaniha, and secondly, i invited two other prime ministers who were before mr. yes, against the air defense systems that we wanted to get from our partners from israel, we asked at the beginning of the war. well, in the same way as with the prime ministers, months have passed so far, unfortunately, unfortunately , because ukraine is very interested in having between

our states kept the following important ones historical close relations unfortunately, there is no result yet freedom tv channel please have a good day thank you oleksiy matsukov fridom oleksandrovych and please tell me how today's documents will be synchronized with the peace formula and the sanctions policy of kyiv independent policy of kyiv is synchronized with the introduction of sanctions sanctions here is a state at the level of the european of the union and unilaterally with other states that are not part of the european union, and this seems to me to be

a permanent permanent job and we already have a lot the number of sanctions packages, we will continue security guarantees. of course, there will be written specific steps regarding the reaction if there is one or another aggression against our state . this is about constant support for ukraine . this is about preventing the return of aggression. strengthening of security on the ground driver in the air strengthening of our financial structures

cyber security cyber security etc. someone introduces and specific states due to the corresponding aggressive steps of a specific state, your question is please, thank you very much, my question is in addition to the end of the war, what will be the main political goals and expectations before the next nato summit in washington. i am very glad that you and i have the same level of positivity and this is true. we believe in victory. we believe that the next very important step for ukraine will be at the next nato summit. symbolically, after all, 75 years of the washington alliance. it seems to me that we need to

work hard and prepare for this summit apart from this, one wish is victory, there are no other wishes, to be honest, i have no other ambitions. i don’t have one goal, victory with victory will definitely come , and membership in nato is definitely clear to everyone, we already have absolute unity that ukraine will be a member of the european union , in principle, it is absolutely fair, ukraine chose such a future for itself, the near future, yes, the future in this, in this life, in reality, in the future, it will be an equal member of the european union, the security of the alliance and to be an independent state. this is the goal. dear colleagues, we can listen to two more questions, please. ukrainian

public broadcaster, stand up, what did you see? thank you roksolana lisovska, public broadcasting of volodymyr oleksandrovych. today, the j7 leaders agreed to the declaration, but there was no signing. can you explain why they did not sign and what in general this declaration is important and whatever it means is agreed, it is the same for them to sign about it, it’s just so so so so the procedure was chosen. that is, it is the same as what these leaders signed and what will happen now further, i.e. now there will be a two-way street, so between us, those who are already in the declaration, we are already starting to develop bilateral documents , as well as with the states that join this declaration.

a jacket, a blue shirt, a luxurious beard, yes, please, thank you, the president's office already cooperates with ukraine on security issues, including military cooperation and joint military units, and also cooperation to export grain exports the regional operation is also on the shoulders of including closer cooperation in the scientific field as well and in particular the development of weapons , which always defend ukraine, lithuania, poland

are always with us and are always the first advocates regarding the future membership of yesinat, and this is absolutely understandable, because they understand at the level of history their threat of russian aggression, they understand what aggression is, what it can lead to, and they understand what loss, loss, possible, probable, loss of independence and identity is because they went through it and that is why they are really close friends of ours, there are various cooperation programs , including the production of relevant defense systems, and

we are also working to bring cyberspace to the city and exchange specialists with programs. during the war, it helped us a lot, we saved the data of our state , different data from banking, that is, others, due to the fact that we have powerful digitalization in the state and our application for many different actions we share our achievements with our partners. dear colleagues, we see that there are still many questions. we are very grateful for your interest, but unfortunately we have to finish. thank you. i say thank you. see you in lithuania

. thank you for everything. goodbye. i welcome you. the secretary general and the president will now make introductory remarks and then there will be an opportunity to ask questions. thank you , please. president zelenskyi, dear volodymyr. it is a great honor that you are here at the summit when president putin invaded ukraine last year. he underestimated the bravery of the ukrainian people, the courage of the ukrainian armed forces and the determination of the ukrainian political leadership, but he also underestimated the unity and strength of the nato alliance. nato

will continue to support you as long as it takes for the past year nato members provided support worth tens of billions of dollars . and now we have agreed on a three-part package that brings ukraine closer to nato, a multi-year program of practical assistance for the creation of a new council ukraine nato and the new confirmation that ukraine will become a member of nato and the cancellation of the requirement for a membership action plan, our new multi-year program of assistance to ukraine will help you move from soviet-era equipment to nato equipment and standards and make the armed forces of ukraine fully interoperable with standard in a few minutes, nato will start the constituent meeting of the council of ukraine

. nato is a forum where ukraine and nato members will meet as equals to hold consultations in crisis situations and jointly adopt decision now ukraine is closer to nato than ever allies have reaffirmed that ukraine will become a member of the alliance and agreed to cancel the requirement for a membership action plan this will change ukraine's membership path from a two-stage process to a one-stage process we will extend an invitation to ukraine to join nato when the allies behave that conditions will be carried out this decisive single message of the allies on your way to the member of the fan we must make sure that

when this war is over there will be reliable arrangements for the security of ukraine to history did not repeat itself, i therefore welcome the fact that many members of the alliance today will commit to providing long-term security assistance to ukraine. this will help deter any future aggression from russia after the end of the war, and this complements the support provided by nato decisions made here in vilnius mark the beginning of a new chapter in nato-ukraine relations today we meet as equals i look forward to the day when we meet as allies

once again my warmest greetings mr. president and dear jensen, mr. general secretary janson, or how many ukraine, dear attendees, dear journalists, i am glad to see such attention to the summit and such anticipation of news of good news, security is something that is currently in an obvious deficit, and our cooperation here in nato with all partners is what will definitely fill the security deficit ukraine already is and always will be a donor of our common security. security is our key task at the nato summit. in my opinion , at all meetings and all our communication , first of all, i want to congratulate general secretary for another year and thank you jens for your support high price and thank you very much second now we talked

in detail about the situation about the confrontation with russia what we are doing for the sake of peace and security and what we can still do to give more protection to our people this concerns first of all defense assistance from our partners and here we want to thank we have positive very positive news regarding new defense packages support from our partners and on the fields that is why we have already started these meetings we have such agreements i for this i thank each of the leaders what are these packages we were offered the third we discussed and our expectations from the nato summit and here the important result is the recognition that ukraine does not need an action plan regarding membership on the way and on this way and i also sincerely thank you for these important steps and i know

there were many different conversations and agreements because of this, i thank you for this recognition, we have come a long way in interoperability with nato and our soldiers do not have the most recent experience of cooperation with various members of the alliance , our soldiers have already proven that they are able to use the weapons of nato countries global democracy is stronger than any terrorist threats against us by anyone, at the same time, even during a full-scale war with russia, ukraine continues reforms and within the framework of our path of integration into the eu, it is clearly defined what exactly we have to do and we are doing it so we really appreciate this acknowledgment that nothing is needed. i would very much like today to have success at the summit for all of us, for ukraine, for our soldiers, for our citizens , for our children, and for everyone, absolutely and

in particular, security guarantees are so important for people, security guarantees for ukraine on the way to nato, not instead . we can state with concrete success that the results are just that good, but if there was an invitation they would be ideal and i want to thank lithuania once again separately and not just for this summit and for the energy that you are really full of what we see on the streets, all these flags, this is not some kind of artificiality, this is such a human relationship and i want to thank you all for this, it is for us

such a great support and great energy, and while we are not in nato yet, but this is already a reality, this is our protection is such a great support of the societies of the world. i thank you very much for this. it seems to me the most important thing, because this is faith in ukraine as a future member of equal rights and as faith in ukraine as a guarantor of security and as faith in ukraine as the winner of the entire war for freedom and rights people thank you once again to everyone. glory to ukraine, we will start with the ukrainian national e-radio. please, thank you. i have a question for both

the secretary general and president zelenskyi, first of all, about the acceptance of ukraine and what, when the conditions will allow it, and what will be discussed at the council today, what is it will differ from the security general commission what security guardise nature can of a now and guarantees ukraine can offer now ivan first of all how i evaluate i have already evaluated it publicly enough i think the most important thing is that there is a result we can see specific points that bring us closer to nato and as i said yes, we want faster and it is very, very difficult sometimes some things to explain to partners why because we are at war ah and partners really want to help us, they

help us but we still understand we live in different conditions because we are in conditions where we have to survive and our partners want to help us live and we still have to survive and this really pushes us to fast processes to processes that should lead to the reform of the security infrastructure in the world and unfortunately, it is so high at the cost of our lives, we see how to fight against any aggression , such important things are us, we are adequate people , we understand, our partners help us with weapons and this moment of survival, and we really need it, we understand that some are really afraid to talk about our membership nato now because no one wants a world war, and this is also clear and logical. i want everyone to understand

. and we, we are civilized, adequate people. ukraine is fighting, and at the same time, it clearly understands that ukraine cannot be a member of nato while there is a war and that it is absolutely understandable. but the important signals that were sounded today in our bilateral meetings and with the secretary general and partners. we have already met with many today that ukraine will indeed be a member of nato, and this is such confidence. nato, when the conditions are really appropriate, i understand by this that when it will be safe on our land to establish the council of ukraine, nato is one of the three elements of the package that we

agreed on today in order to ensure the fact that ukraine has come even closer to nato standards, and the purpose of this is to strengthen political ties between ukraine and the nato council, which differs from the previous commission, first of all, and the most important thing is that it is the council that has the right to accept the solution is not that 31 members of the alliance meet with a partner no, it is all together at the level of heads of states and governments meet for ministers will be at the level of ministers they met we can also meet at the military level the main command and and this is also possible to establish different groups of experts at this level, it is the most important thing, it will

be a more important political institution, we can all work together on the same level as equals. but again, this is one of the steps that we are currently taking in order to move towards membership today we will meet as equals tomorrow as members of the alliance this is extremely important and this is an extremely important element here is the skype process please thank you good agent sky news presidents zelenskyi you came here and wanted to have a time frame you believed what the word will be said that there will be more weapons provided that there will be more security guarantees as the alliance is made do you think that it will be okay that this position and not this position is not absurd as you said earlier and that

there was no invitation for ukraine this will reduce the morale of the ukrainian army, what do you think about it, secretary general? and you said that it was a terrible mistake that the west gave security guarantees to ukraine. are you worried that the alliance is one step closer to a direct problem with russia, regarding the invitation i i really understand that this is a technical signal. but if we deal not only with technology and bureaucracy, but look at it as a serious motivating factor of ukrainian society, then for me, as for the president, it was a very important moment, a very important moment . i really compare this fact with the moment of

-e candidate in the european union and in bilateral e-e relations and in the dialogue between other states, i give this example, i spoke about this candidacy in the eu - it was also a signal that the candidates do not have membership in the eu, but the candidates have confidence and are powerful mobilization for ukraine and a powerful signal from russia, ukraine is not a member of any other union, but i want to be a member of the european union specifically and will be a specifically independent state. said and we can get specifics in it specifics - this is right now if today the big seven agree to the first major declaration regarding

the security guarantee, then this will be a concrete fact because in the security guarantees it is written that these guarantees work on the way to nato and this is very important, it will already be a very specific signal . well, and all the other things, all the points the secretary general said related to the alliance . this is when president putin, if he wins and if they use an armed conflict, he violates international law, and because of this, the members of the alliance must support and support ukraine on

e, it will not only be a tragedy for ukraine. if he will win, president putin will win, it will be dangerous for us, for europe , because of that we understand that ukraine has the right to choose its own right, which they want to have, about which they want to have guarantees received and in fact, this is what is written in the first paragraph on the way to nato security interests receive we can never allow moscow to start dictating who can and who cannot become a member of nato russia has always been against the expansion of nato it depends only on ukraine and the members of the alliance when how will ukraine become a member of nato moscow in this has nothing to do with the decisions that were made today, these are the strongest decisions, powerful decisions, er, the strongest that

was said about ukraine, nato previously, just as we conducted negotiations with finland or north macedonia when they stood in the way of the members of the fans, we will do the same now we should decide with ukraine , not moscow, one word i would like to add to the words of the secretary general, what is important to say about the alliance - it is not a tool for participation , it is important to say that it is a tool integration and this gives us the feeling that we will be part of nato two questions ictv one question for the president one for the secretary general us expectations from today's meeting of the big seven what can there

be, what additional security guarantees can be provided to ukraine, this is not what the general is shouting somewhere in new town, the new council of ukraine, nato, how will it differ from the commission, if hungary or other countries can block its work there, from a technical point of view, how will it technically work today's sun meetings and as for security guarantees, first of all, i want to tell you that these are not additional , we do not have real security guarantees from our partners, i mean legally, we have actual security guarantees, which are financial and sanction, and this is true, and aid and defense , and this it is very important that this can become the first legal document that symbolizes that

we have such an umbrella, this is the first such document , an umbrella of security guarantees, and then ukraine will have e-e documents on the by-law of nations from each with the state as a guarantor of security and there will be, in principle, all the things that we have today or those things that we lack, such as air defense and airplanes, etc., aviation , these things. they will definitely be on a bilateral level, and pizza, too, what should i say, this umbrella, this document makes it possible for the countries of the sims to join. that is, it is an open opportunity for other partners to join, and today we have already started talking with some partners who are our friends but who are not part of the sims and they

will join. i think that it is like this it is very important to build a new stage, and therefore no one will block individually for the members or members of the nato countries or the members of the council. we can hold crisis-crisis consultations and if president zelensky wants to participate in the council meeting, he can do so, no one will block that that we meet as equals and decide, we will decide within the framework of crisis consultations that can be convened by any member of the council. this is a very powerful political tool for further political integration and decision-making. one of the elements in the decisions we are making today in order to bring
