[000:00:00;00] the capital of lithuania welcomed distinguished guests with a sea of ​​ukrainian flags and this is not an exaggeration, on the eve of the free summit, 33,000 flags were decorated with blue and yellow flags as a call to the leaders of the alliance ukraine should become the 33rd member of the bloc, we lithuanians feel that this war is very close to us even though we have and there is no common border with ukraine , we are more fortunate because we are in nato and the eu, otherwise we could also find ourselves in such a situation, a similar story. we were also under soviet occupation , we support ukraine and hope that she will support us in case of trouble, we are also ukrainian brothers another most symbolic flag in vilnius was already raised during the summit by the 10th separate edelweiss mountain assault brigade from the ukrainian bakhmut to lithuanian vilnius, it was delivered by runners and

solemnly handed over the flag with the president of ukraine and lithuania thank you for your help to our defense for your clear and, importantly, courageous position regarding the invitation of ukraine to nato, the ukrainian flags on lithuanian streets clearly prove that we are already allies and ukraine will protect thousands of vilnius residents who came to the rally in support of ukraine and its membership in nato greeted the president with applause for their freedom and yours. it was simply impossible to forget this atmosphere of solidarity and support, even when we journalists moved from the center of vilnius here to the congress center of the lithuanian capital. where the meeting was held, the leaders of the alliance seemed there will be a breakthrough and ukraine will be officially invited to nato or they will say when it will be able to join the alliance

. in the future, very often decisions are heard at the summits of such a native perspective of ukraine's membership in the alliance, they were adopted directly, but during the meeting in vilnius, the working groups failed to find a compromise and they handed over the results to the leaders of the alliance, the discussions were heated, the invitation of ukraine to the alcohol bloc was presented by the two vashkovitch states and germany as a result agreed on the formation , we will invite, but not now, we will extend an invitation to ukraine to join nato, when the union agrees and the conditions are met, this is a powerful package for ukraine and a clear path to of its membership in nato, none of the parts of ukraine, due to the need to implement the membership action plan, replaced it with an annual national

program of reforms. they also created the ukraine nato council, its first meeting was held in vilnius. example, hungary will block the consultation, we agreed to cancel the requirement for ukraine to implement the action plan for nato membership, this changes ukraine's path from a two-stage process to a one-stage one , the results are good, but they could have been perfect, yes commented on the decision of the alliance of the president of ukraine that this is a technical signal, but if we deal not only with technology and bureaucracy and look at it as the southern factor of motivation 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 as a candidate in the european union and in bilateral relations and in the dialogue between other states, i give this example, i spoke about this candidacy and it was a signal that the candidates do not have eu membership, but the candidates are confident and there is a 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 specifically of the european union and to be a specifically independent state. and he also added after the negotiations in vilnius, there is no doubt that ukraine will be in the alliance and this status will not become an issue

political negotiations with russia . to whom one grandfather lives, we will not give up our territories and we will never exchange them for any frozen conflict today will never happen, our partners clearly know my position, presented the promised security declaration for ukraine, the g7 countries undertook to provide kyiv all the necessary military assistance in priority, air defense , long-range artillery, armored vehicles and combat aircraft. and the group itself will train our military and exchange intelligence data with ukraine, relevant security agreements

will be signed soon with each country of the seven, a process will be started separately, with the help of which each of our states and any other that wants to join will conduct negotiations on long-term bilateral security obligations with and to ukraine. we are going to help ukraine build a powerful defense on land in the air and at sea it will be a force of stability in the region and deter any threats what is very important that in this security guarantee in this declaration respect the attention what is important that we they kept one very important point, which is written in the declaration that in these security guarantees on the way to ukraine, it is a very important point. the liberated ukrainian delegation also carries new packages of military aid. france gives long-range missiles similar to the british storm shadow. germany patriot systems . leopard tanks and marder infantry fighting vehicles. great britain a thousand shells for challenger tanks and norway a thousand reconnaissance drones and

a support package for the anti-aircraft missile complex nasams is an agreement to create a coalition for the training of ukrainian pilots tetyana logunova details tv channel intermarathon only news vilnius lithuania the arms package that ukraine received at the nato summit is a strong argument in favor of the success of the vilnius meetings defense minister oleksiy reznikov wrote on twitter today that kyiv won your seven aid packages with a total cost of 1.5 billion euros therefore, the military aspect of the agreements is a separate topic that iryna ivanova carefully studied without specifics regarding the introduction. but the ukrainian delegation returned from vilnius to kyiv not empty-handed with a whole list of promised weapons, france volunteered to be one of the first to expand military support. the decision has already been made and some of them have already arrived in

ukraine. taking into account the current situation and the successes of the armed forces of ukraine in the counteroffensive, i decided to increase the supply of weapons and equipment to ukraine. to provide long-range missiles at the same time, germany will increase the supply of armored vehicles, marder infantry fighting vehicles and leopard tanks, and the anti-aircraft defense force will add even more missiles and a significant package to them the united states also announced aid, although at the moment there are no details, artillery shells are the most needed now, there is a shortage and we are working to eliminate it , it seems that president zelensky is very, very satisfied with what we are doing great britain promises thousands of shells for challenger tanks for the support package of the anti-aircraft missile complex we will wait for sams from norway. and for a thousand reconnaissance drones, such support from partners is highly appreciated in the president's office

, there are always new aid packages today, some countries announced this publicly, some said the president, at bilateral meetings, each of the countries of the group of seven announced new aid packages today, or we discussed how to speed up the delivery of previous packages outside of nato, australia will also help , the new defense package for ukraine overseas will include, among other things, 30 battleships needed very symbolically yes and we got new e aid packages we got a pretty good result in terms of understanding in the further movement of our on the way to the members on the way to get the invitation ukraine did not wait for the summit. however, it cannot be called ineffective. as stressed by the political adviser to the president of ukraine, mykhailo podolyak, the meeting in vilnius did not repeat exactly what happened in bucharest, where the leaders invited ukraine to nato but refused to provide an action plan for membership, now we do not need it, it is completely pragmatic and the effective

approach of nato - says mykhailo podolyak, the first is the long-term support of ukraine from a defense point of view, that is, it means the aid packages of military equipment and not only immediately today, as well as postponed in certain years, the second component is a closer political political integration of ukraine into nato already within the framework of the ukraine nato council, where it will be possible to solve many issues of the regime rather than the situational regime, the third component is the cancellation of the so-called pdp. you have to wait a long time for the acceptance of the fourth component, of course. this is a clear confirmation that this war must end fairly for ukraine, and therefore ukraine will have all the support in terms of cyber security and regarding the exchange of intelligence data and so on, the positive political results of the summit are also evaluated by the deputy chairman of the film, which declares

that the guarantees provided are working while ukraine advances on the path to nato membership . and agreed to by ukraine, remember how at the beginning of the open aggression of the president of ukraine , they put close the sky over ukraine , give ukraine a long-range business, give ukraine tanks, artillery, from now on, we will be nothing to ask, we have a certain level, we know what level we need, and we know what will happen if the situation suddenly worsens, a consultation mechanism has been laid down , a rapid reaction system has been laid down, how each country that signed this document will react and help ukraine , the current summit in vilnius is not the last stop on ukraine's path to nato the next station - washington, the capital of the usa itself will receive from the alliance in 2024 iryna ivanova oleg nevidmskyi details of the european bureau

of the tv channel inter marathon single news the way to nato became shorter but did not become faster, so the ministry of foreign affairs commented on the results of the alliance itself in order to put all the dots on and in kyiv's evaluations of the vilnius decisions . so kind, does this mean that the results of this summit almost meet our expectations? yes, i absolutely agree with this. indeed, our expectations were a little more than what was achieved, but in fact, i would say that 90% of what we expected from our partners and they knew our expectations were achieved really not

we didn't get perhaps the most important thing and that is a clear time frame for us to receive the invitation and actually the invitation to become a member nato, but we definitely became much, much closer to membership than to this santa. but there is such a positive moment as the creation of the ukraine nato council. what does it mean for us? well, first of all, i wanted to say that in principle, some people compare the bucharest one in 2008 with the vilnius one. themselves this year and er says that there are er formulations regarding the future time of ukraine, they are similar but in fact these are two big differences, it is heaven and earth er first of all , because vinnytsia themselves , unlike the bucharest

even if bucharest is the same. it was about how to deny ukraine membership, and vinnytsia himself is about how to bring ukraine closer to membership, and... vinnytsia himself provided us with concrete tools for getting closer to membership, and the council that you mentioned, and is one of those tools that will bring us closer to the standards of the nato sensor from both a political and a military point of view and i would also like to say that the most important thing is possible or one of the main achievements is that at the vinnytsia summit it was decided that ukraine is no longer will need an action plan regarding membership a-a as you remember in bucharest, the whole struggle was for just an action plan regarding the meaning and this is -1 huge stage in what e-e approach to the member well, by the way , regarding nato membership in the interview radio svoboda

minister of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleba noted, i will quote, the path to nato became shorter, but it did not become faster, and primarily due to the cancellation of the pdc, however, the conditions for joining are not clearly spelled out and there is not even a hint about the terms. it is the decision to invite ukraine and ukraine and to provide a guarantor that is rather a matter of political will and the occurrence of those circumstances that will allow the allies to make this decision, i.e. if ideal conditions are created, it can to happen even a few months ago, ukraine is now in exactly the same situation as finland and sweden were a year ago. we remember that in the case of finland it happened very quickly, even in the case of sweden it took a little more years. we

hope that quickly they will already become members of er nato therefore er hm terms there are no such conditions in reality, but we understand that er under these conditions more allies mean exactly the security conditions for the end of the war. please tell us in more detail about these security guarantees that you already also mentioned about the signing of bilateral relations with the wings of the g7, what is said in these documents and the possible security guarantees will be similar to the model provided by nato to israel , the statement that was approved by the countries of the group of seven, the most leading states in the world, is still a morning statement that has not been written concrete guarantees for ukraine, concrete guarantees will be written down in as it is said

in this statement itself, in bilateral documents that ukraine will sign with the countries of the group of seven, and these negotiations, as was said yesterday, will begin immediately, that is, already literally in the coming days, but we will also be able to sign such bilateral agreements with other states that express their readiness for this, and we already have a number of states that have declared that they will be ready to sign with us what guarantees they will be, i cannot tell you now only each of the countries will obviously be ready to go to a different level of these guarantees, these guarantees, which will be provided on a bilateral level, will be valid until ukraine becomes a full member of nato, when ukraine will be to work, article five of the north atlantic treaty, mr. yevgeny, and regarding

military-technical assistance because, well, this is also such a big result of this summit . how do you evaluate this assistance and is this aid package sufficiently weighty? technical assistance of weapons and military equipment - this was also one of the most important achievements of this summit , the president of ukraine held direct negotiations with the leaders of nato countries already within the framework of the summit itself, and the countries provided very important packages, new packages, i emphasize that this is not something that was announced for a month or two. therefore, these are completely new packages, and many of them are about the provision of the weapons and military equipment that we need most today.

air defense systems - these are long-range missiles - these are armored vehicles , and ukraine has become much closer to nato, and ukraine has received serious support from nato countries so that we can defeat aggression as soon as possible . very grateful for this interesting conversation for the fact that you found the time to join our broadcast, have a nice and peaceful evening, thank you for the invitation to all the best vinnytskyi's decision is being commented on and discussed by themselves now in washington too, and if the official american officials are quite restrained in their forecasts and assessments, for example, regarding the terms, when it is ukraine that will still be able to join nato . diplomats are more open. so what is the time frame? what made president biden say no now and why is the israeli model

of security guarantees not enough answers to all these the question of our special corps of the united states, dmytro nopchenko, heard from a person who for many years represented america in nato, you can fully evaluate this decision yourself, nato can only be known from the inside. what he can do too much and what he will not dare to do and knows it better than others , this man ivo dalder, who for many years represented the united states under nato, these are archival footage when barack obama just appointed a diplomat to this position who during the election campaign, he was his adviser on foreign policy and in fact helped win over the years of working in nato , the ambassador learned to distinguish immediately where the diplomatic wording hides indecision where the real results are undoubtedly ukraine is now closer to nato than ever that is how you did not receive an invitation to join the alliance but it was unrealistic to even think that this

would happen, and i understand the disappointment of ukrainians. it is clear that if i lived in ukraine , i would want the country to become a member of nato not just today or tomorrow, but yesterday. and really if ukraine was already in the alliance on february 23, 2022, then he would not have been there, so i fully understand why it is important for ukraine to be in nato and understand the disappointment at the same time we have what we have and here it is worth deciding . says the two decisions that the leaders of nato have made now, canceling the action plan for kyiv and establishing the nato ukraine council - this in itself is a lot or is it a rather complicated plan that the countries must go through step by step and their progress in achieving the conditions for membership

constantly evaluate nato's decision that ukraine does not need it, it has already done most of the important things, as well as finland and sweden, which joined without a joint venture, it is important as far as the nato council is concerned, ukraine is no longer an organization like the ukraine nato commission, where the meetings with kyiv were one on one, now it is about the fact that each member of nato and ukraine have equal status and the same right to vote on the agenda. therefore, ukraine will be as powerful in this council as the most powerful is the united states, this does not mean that ukraine is already received the fifth article, but from now on kyiv will have a voice and a very strong voice , and this is a great progress, a political step towards future membership, it is the fifth article that the nato countries are obliged to defend each other without any conditions and forced joe biden not to agree to accept ukraine already

now, the strategic coordinator of the us security council, junkivby, conveyed the position of the american president in this regard, saying in the white house that they are convinced that inviting ukraine to the alliance would also be an invitation to russia to start a war with the west , but there is also a danger here. putin essentially went to a full-scale invasion so that ukraine does not join nato, and if we say now, kyiv will be included in the alliance only after everything is over, moscow will do everything to postpone this moment and prolong the single conflict, i understand the caution of the us president in this matter from the first day , he made it very clear that we have two fundamental goals to do everything to help ukraine defend itself and to avoid the war on the ukrainian front turning into the third world war and i think if we accepted

ukraine into nato today when it is in full swing hostilities are just at the beginning of the counteroffensive, when russian missile strikes are taking place all over the country, this would mean that nato should also become part of this war. the alliance is the defense of every inch of its territory, so when ukraine becomes a member of nato, the entire alliance must enter the war , that's why i'm here later with the president, and on the other hand, there are really conversations that we can allow ukraine to join nato only after the end of the war, it gives russia an incentive not to end this war, and the key question is to determine at what stage of hostilities the situation will allow a serious discussion with ukraine regarding membership, how to find a compromise when during the war it is impossible and after it is risky, ambassador dalder has his own proposal in this regard, and this idea, which is advocated by many in the american administration, to take ukraine into nato even before

the final victory, in the event that there is an agreement about a ceasefire and hostilities will stop say 50 km from each side of the demarcation line i don't want russia to have even a centimeter of ukrainian territory but there is a difference between trying to return it to the military way and i will try to return it politically if nato can provide security for the majority of the country in exchange for a long-term political process of returning the occupied territory, on the other hand , will the political leadership of the country agree to this . if it were implemented, then russia would no longer attack the rest of the territory. it will be part of nato , but how long will it take to return the occupied regions, at the same time, regarding the issue of security guarantees, it is already the same israeli model

that is talked about so much somewhat skeptical, and this is why the israeli model that is now being offered to ukraine is not a security guarantee , it is a guarantee that will help support it, it is a real security guarantee - it is a promise that i will come to protect you , a real guarantee is given by membership or if ukraine becomes a member of the eu, the european union will provide a security guarantee and protection and in many respects - this is as strong as nato's fifth article as well as many in the pentagon and the us security council that the ukrainian army is already ready to be integrated into the nato army in terms of strength, equipment and skills that it has given war, but there is also a political part of the path of reform, without which the door to the alliance will remain half-open, american official officials are now avoiding giving any predictions about the terms of when ukraine will still accept, but my interlocutor unexpectedly agrees to voice his

vision, and this is almost a sensation, because from ah, we are not talking about the months anymore, and this is due to how and where the war is going on. i am talking to many ukrainian and western military personnel and i hope that in the next few months we will see quite significant changes in the situation on the front in ukraine, what will be successful? the counteroffensive of ukrainian forces, which will significantly change the situation, will move the front line closer to crimea, cutting the land between crimea and russia, there will probably be significant changes on the eastern bank of the dnieper near kherson. i expect significant changes, and at this stage we will enter a new phase when both ukraine and russia will understand that there is no potential for a further large-scale war, and then the issue of nato membership will be central for ukraine , and what turned out to be premature in vilnius

due to the state of affairs in the war may be in a few months to the end of the year to become absolutely real and from washington dmytro onopchenko serhiy koval american bureau of the tv channel inter marathon the only news of rage among the russian propagandists there is a splinter the alliance is growing because soon sweden and ukraine will join it and it will not leave the agenda and will receive military support in the future, so about the powerful russian journalists continue to scare their citizens of the third world , even putin's funny squads did not refrain from commenting on what this time they are trying to feed to undemanding russian viewers further materials by olga zhydetska what do you think what do you think about the results yourself nato the response to the nato summit in vilnius war dragons were born from putin's squads

although in fact the political scientists of the soviet spill are quite preoccupied with world politics for the expansion of nato the turkish president already thought about the state red jeep erdogan you are not opposed to sweden being accepted into nato, although you have been against this event for a very long time, how come you spit on the feelings of your muslims, the fact that the koran was burned in sweden, it turns out that the meeting passed by the leaders of the north atlantic alliance behind the ledge do not speak except that the lazy black circle of russian television volodymyr solovyov tirelessly intimidates his audience . the nato meeting is the nato meeting at which it was announced that the course for war with us has been taken.

half of the world economy is opposed in russian about the power media, these are for okeansky, too, these are for ukrainian, too, i am offended, the livery are not even small sausages, they didn’t like zelensky’s tone. well yes, you would still be in a crowd there and the closest to the graphomaniac philosophies of the deputy chairman of the security council of the republic of poland dmitry medvedev, nothing else, a measure that was ultimately mistaken to come up with and could not predictability of the highest level to idiocy, in fact, the impasse of the third world is getting closer and closer one by one. but only
