[000:00:00;00] a strategy for destroying the enemy and in this format already on sensitive places and to plan those points in historical prospective directions where you were to conduct the operation is still available, i still calculated that the nearest places because russia once again emphasizes that we pulled out about 5,000 who we said that it was prepared mykola malomuzh was with us, and now we honor the memory of all ukrainians who died due to russian aggression with a moment

of silence. that it was unleashed by russia. we have not heard a historical decision , but we will receive a good increase in weapons. about the main results of nato itself and what is being said about ukraine in the world, this and much more will be discussed later in the issue without a military commission but also without an invitation. is

ukraine satisfied after nato? and on the square of the lithuanian capital, how they met the ukrainians in vilnius and what remained behind the scenes of the official part of the armed forces destroy the raschests in the south and around the bahmut enemies burn reserves so that their front does not fail, it is not boring a liberated village in the south all of donetskia has not been destroyed by equipment and enemy mines. what does the counteroffensive look like? i congratulate you iryna koval and this is the news. the results of the week on the espresso tv channel. ukraine has been waiting for this meeting at the highest level for six months. volodymyr zelenskyy also did not confirm until the last

that he would go to vilnius the day before, he even wrote an outrageous post about the fact that it is unprecedented and absurd when there are no time frame for both the invitation and the membership of ukraine. some of the delegation at the nato summit understood the state of the president of ukraine. but there were also those who said that zelensky was going too far and they were angry in the informal atmosphere. volodymyr zelensky was advised to cool down and look at the full package of proposals, so this year not there was a historic decision to invite ukraine to the alliance family, the usa and germany were cautious . biden is worried that one wrong step could provoke the third world war, so

the door to the alliance was not closed for ukraine, but we can enter them only after the end of the war. our correspondent natalya visited vilnius this week, so we will find out what happened on the sidelines of the nato summit in vilnius . preparations were made carefully for several months. and long-range damage to protect the participants and representatives of the alliance countries who gathered here for important negotiations . well, the city itself is 32 km from the border line between lithuania and belarus on the first day of the summit, thousands of people gathered

in the center of vilnius , lithuanians are convinced that ukraine should be accepted into the family of the alliance, volodymyr zelenskyi came to the square and he thanked the lithuanians for their open position towards ukraine during the celebrations. then they put the marathon participants who we have at the table glory to ukraine we talked with the lithuanians and were impressed that they follow the news about the war in ukraine and cheer for our victory in lithuania , they are sure that while russia is fighting a cruel war ukraine is paying a high price for protecting all of europe. terrible things are happening in ukraine and we know that it is russia's handiwork. it still remains a great threat. ukraine has already shown more than expected that it is ready to become a member of the alliance, and nato countries should show support not only by supplying weapons, but also by accepting ukraine

in the family of the alliance, you will be our enemy, this is the biggest battle in which we also feel the need for freedom and we will feel calm when ukraine returns all its territories without casualties, generally blue-yellow the flags themselves became a symbol of nato in vilnius, 33,000 of them were hung all over the city , this symbolized that lithuania wants to see ukraine as the 33rd member of nato. these days, russia has been actively attacking our country , so this tunnel leads along the road to the location of the tonat, which is located in the depths of the forest, and foreign journalists passed by but also

stopped at these photos that show the pain of innocent people and these photos demonstrate the brutality of russia, this was only reminded a few times here in europe why should we speak and why should the whole world speak that ukraine should become a full member of nato on the second day of the summit it becomes clear that entry into the alliance for ukraine is not yet available according to the nato secretary general, our country receives invitation when all allies agree and the conditions will be fulfilled, however, the leaders of the alliance countries adopted a package of three elements. we must support ukraine as long as it takes, or even more should increase aid to ukraine, this will be a clear signal from the current summit, we must remember that the war began in 2014, since then nato countries have always provided support

to ukraine for several days from this hall in vilnius at the nato summit, speeches and statements from the leaders of the alliance countries were heard today is the last the day of the summit, we will just now hear statements from the g7 countries regarding the guarantee of ukraine's security . any threats at the summit of the president of ukraine were accompanied by his delegation, minister of defense oleksiy reznikov, minister of foreign affairs dmytro kuleba, head of the president 's office andriy yarmak and first lady olena zelenska on the sidelines of the vilnius summit , greeted zelensky warmly and with shouts of congratulations , the same atmosphere prevailed at the first meeting of the nato council with laughter and hugs, ukraine's mood improved, and

zelensky himself, we will remind , published an angry post before the president's visit, criticizing allies for indecision on the issue inviting ukraine to nato, we can state that the results themselves are good, but if there was an invitation, they would be ideal . next year, the alliance will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the creation of the organization, and the jubilee summit 2024 will be held in washington . whether ukraine will get closer on the way to nato remains an open question for you. freedmen worked natalya old law serhiy bulanenko espresso tv channel so the alliance made a compromise this year and according to zubayden, the ukrainian delegation is taking home

a significant victory for ukraine in the field of security with we are in touch valery chalyi diplomat extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine to the usa 2015-2019 mr. valery i congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes so mr. valery i want to hear from you what your personal impressions of vilnius are and what you expected when we we are talking about impression, this is a very accurate word because the impression depends on the expectation, if someone expected that ukraine would be invited to nato and we would be a member of nato after that, that was the wrong approach in general, the expectation was wrong in i did not experience this and that is why i look carefully at all documents, these public fixed statements, one thing can be said that this is not a victory or a defeat, this is a serious path, so

this path to nato, to the system of collective security and defense, and in some ways, it may have improved, but on it's a pity it didn't get easier if you compare this summit with the one in bukhara in 2008, which, by the way, was also called great hopes . has changed radically eh. just actually on the sidelines of bucharest, despite the fact that they talked about the open or open door of nato for ukraine . everyone understood that russia looms behind its threats , and it is still a good diplomatic language or diplomatic language, now on the contrary , now rhetoric in principle and even backroom conversations are very favorable, which reassures ukraine. and you will be in nato. it is a matter of time

. that is, there are changes, but if you look at the decision , the documents and the fact that we still do not know what will happen to this instrument that was previously of bucharest and was not accepted. and now some surrogate does not know what will come of this, so i will say that there is no big difference in this, but the rhetoric , yes, the rhetoric has become much better. well, after nato, the bulgarian authorities announced the first official decision of sofia to help kiev with heavy equipment. france will provide a long-range scout missile and engineering equipment for demining australia 30 more bushmaster vehicles germany removed a new package of military aid to ukraine for 700 million euros mr. valery, we have prepared material about

the main results that ukraine received in vilnius are the creation of the ukraine nato council, the cancellation of the pdf before joining the alliance about weapons and the f16 pilot training program, so i suggest that we see if we can send ukraine an invitation to join the alliance when all members agree and the necessary conditions are met. the diplomatic formula from the final comic of the nato summit in vilnius provided little clarity as to when kyiv will become a member of the alliance and whether it will become one at all, of course , the word invitation appeared for the first time in a document of this level, but at the same time, it does not contain any obligations of the alliance to ukraine in this regard, and the problem is, when will the conditions be fulfilled, what under the conditions , by whom, by whom, what should they be formulated, what are they, another example of diplomatic balance, the clause on the cancellation

of the action plan for ukraine membership on the way to nato, the famous pdc was invented in 2008 in order to at least somehow tie ukraine to the alliance and prevent it from falling directly into the arms of the kremlin, the number of conditions was actually equal to refusal, now in theory it should shorten and facilitate the accession procedure and friendt, we confirmed that ukraine will become a member of nato and agreed to eliminate the requirement for an action plan for membership. this will change ukraine's path to membership from a two-stage process to a one-stage one, but instead of the alliance, the alliance has set another barrier for kyiv - a one-year national program, which kyiv may still have to fulfill longer, at least president biden only joked about this issue mr. zelensky how soon after the end of the war ukraine wants to join nato 1 hour 20 minutes you guys ask very

deep questions the questions provoke those the security guarantees that the g7 countries agreed to provide to ukraine on the sidelines of the nato summit, kyiv promised further supplies of weapons, training of military personnel and the exchange of intelligence, however, so far this is only a joint declaration, something like a memorandum that evokes sad memories of budapest in 1994 , specific legal obligations must appear after ukraine signs agreements with each of the countries. this may 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 already ukraine will have e-e documents on ba from each with the state guarantor of security the most important result of vilnius at this moment and this time already a very specific announcement of new packages of military aid

cluster munitions from the united states new pedriot launchers from germany long-range missiles from france etc. in addition , the aviation coalition to train ukrainian pilots to fly the f16 was finally formed in the lithuanian capital , 11 countries agreed to provide armed assistance. well, if we have so what for today circumstances by the way, you correctly noted all the success and indeed it was not about nato and not about the goal of freedom, namely about the first stage , which is the de-occupation of the territory and the supply of weapons, that is, it is clear that we would like, and this, in my opinion, is a justified desire to have

a lot right now including the attack missiles are so similar to 300 km. well, we will sincerely thank you. and for this, a total of one and a half billion was just announced as free. in this regard, uh, this is a really important, important element, but there you heard in the story about the pdch that we then it was made in such a way that it could not be fulfilled. as soon as the mechanism was clear that we have a plan for a specific determination of the number of years we will fulfill it, we will become a member of nato, which means that now we fought to remove this intermediate stage, then this condition, we fought, we fought, everything was fine until the last day, so far this record about the annual national program, which has existed for many years, did not appear, but what will it be? and if it will be as it is now, then it is not very constructive if it

will be more clear in the terms of the document let's say there are 30-50 conditions to change the legislation, a concrete decision, then i think it can be done in a year, then it will be clear now , our authorities need to work not on these statements about the security guarantee this is a lie from the black statement about the security guarantee is not in this declaration of none and it is not a guarantee of security, it is a good, good, framework political declaration on deepening cooperation, on obtaining the considered training of our military, it is a very good document, but it was prepared as an international agreement, the so-called the kyiv security compact kyiv security compact means that the project is on the website of the president of ukraine, unfortunately, it was not possible to make it a legally binding agreement, that is, the declaration is not binding, of course, but it is good, in fact , we need to work on it, but it is very important so that they become, it does not become an alternative , that's it, that's it, that's manivtsi, that's all, it's very important to follow up, so when

they say that we're going to work on it now, i'm very afraid that they'll stop working on it we nato members, valery, we don't have much time left, but there are quite interesting statistics that i would like you to comment on. so, 89% of ukrainians support the country's accession to nato, the results of the survey were published by the kyiv international institute of sociology, and these are actually record figures for the years of independence. because in 2008, according to the data of the national institute of strategic studies, the majority, namely 52% , said that they were against joining the alliance, what exactly do ukrainians expect from joining nato . in your opinion, it is very simple, ukrainians are wise people also understand that ukraine is not obliged to fight for decades

anymore, we should appreciate it to stop and continue to obtain joint defense and share this responsibility with other countries, that is, ukrainians expect these reliable security umbrellas, without which it is impossible to develop the economy, energy, get jobs, investors do not will come, that is , the ukrainians want development and not forever fight with russia, but they understand that for this they will have to endure this blow and deo to buy all the territories and then simply close their stormed from the east p . at the nato summit

, whether it was a misunderstanding or an outright docker , for which the minister of defense of great britain, ben wallace, had to apologize later, said that in ukraine, more attention should be paid to the gratitude of the west with the help of, we quote, not amazon, the satisfaction of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi that we were not given a clear schedule or a set of conditions for joining nato, zelenskyi reacted to this and said that we can wake up and give thanks, but after that, voles made excuses and said that they would continue to help ukraine, and koliba called all this a misunderstanding. during the week , the foreign press actively discussed vilnius the summit and the ukrainian issue occupied a prominent place in the columns of the most famous publications

. on the pages of the world media in our review, our unity will not be shaken, us president volodymyr zelenskyy assured about this at the nato summit, the american newspaper usa today on the front page of the publication publishes an article about ukraine's ability to defend itself from the aggressor, meanwhile, joe biden said that nato will resist russian aggression as long as necessary so the american president compared the russian ukrainian war with the struggle for european freedom during the cold war writes for the new york times that the usa is the largest military support of kyiv, the washington post writes, but for president biden, this is a difficult challenge . after all, it is important for him to preserve the northern atlantic alliance

, and not to provoke an escalation in russia , the media say, we suggest giving more thanks. help on the cover, the newspaper publishes a photo of volodymyr zelenskyi and emmanuel macron with their wives, and at the very end of our review, britain is set for a long journey in order to win putin's war, he declared at the nato summit to the british prime minister rishi samok. the newspaper and mitzender also wrote about it. the publication also mentions zelensky's criticism of the decision not to give ukraine clear terms of membership in nato. diplomatic emotions were endured on the ukrainian front. such battles are now focused on in the seven directions: kupyansk , limansky, bakhmutsky, avdiivsky, and maryansky, at the same time, the armed forces of ukraine

continued to destroy the enemy in the south this week, and every day our cats sent an average of 500-600 the main changes on the front, we look further to the east , the key direction remains the bakhmut direction, because it is going after the pincers in the south and the top in the north. the occupiers repulsed the armed forces of ukraine several times. the ticks of the defense forces continued the offensive to the south and also to the neighboring villages, the main task is to cut the bakhmut horlivka road and take the enemy in a semi-encirclement. our forces under bakhmut solve the main task and destroy the enemy's force on the farm and in the school from below the enemy's grouping, which cannot but shift to another direction, heavy fighting continues, and in the south of the armed forces of ukraine, they are advancing in the melitopol and berdyan directions and are entrenched at

the reached lines in the zaporizhzhia region, our military in several places came close to the main line of defense the russians in the orikhivska tokmak direction, the loss of the occupiers was so significant that they were forced to call in their last reserve, the 35th army in the area of ​​staromlinivka the key peak near the old magyar region, the enemy cannot but respond to our attacks, this means that he is forced to redeploy his forces in the process of redeploying, it becomes clear where these forces are and our artillery is working here, this is the process of exhaustion that characterizes them now , and the current hostilities will continue for at least two more years three months, and after that, what can be said about any more active offensive actions to remove the invaders from the south in the east, the russians are trying to distract our main reserves from the offensive in the south and to force them to transfer for the defense of luhansk region during the week in this direction, the occupiers attacked the defense forces west of svatovo

in the novoselivsk region, there the enemy managed to cross the railway track and approach the kupyansk criminal route, in addition, the russians continue their offensive on almost the entire section of the front between svatovo and krimina according to the information of the ministry of defense, despite the offensive actions, our losses did not increase in the south , the ratio of the dead is five times less in the east, in eight, all ukrainians were destroyed villages are deserted, streets and fields are strewn with the bodies of russian terrorists, this is how the counteroffensive looks up close, our film crew got a unique opportunity to see what it means to return ukrainian land further , exclusive material by artem lugutenka from the south of donetsk region, the de-occupation of the donetsk region begins here. now the military

will take us and show us how it is happening. brigades met us in velyka novosilka and took us to the south towards the liberated makarivka, the road is dangerous because of the occupied settlements, everything is sown here minami look thank you thank you they may not understand what a bitch young children are already a local grandfather he is all interesting the first stop is not boring not a single whole building not a single person the village fully lives up to its name here it is very loud and dangerous well dead soldiers with callsigns smart and poltava are driving further south, they tell us stories

from the de-occupied regions, they are the assassin's daughter-in-law and granddaughter hey, 80 years old for me it was just i didn't know what it was to answer, it's not fair, everyone is angry with the scorned smile appears only when they mention animals or territories strewn with destroyed it is impossible to get them out with the equipment of the occupiers and the mountains of russian corpses, because the enemy is mining the bodies, the mayor tells you that there are active hostilities, they are not continuously firing from artillery and aviation, there is something going on, everything will be fine, oh , they are not nervous, because they are taking us to a place where no journalist has ever been

this is the first line of defense of the russians, which was broken through and occupied by the armed forces of ukraine . equipped, we took them one by one, equipped them, like, well, the new type is fresh, and everything is in principle and now we are their weapons, the volume of them is, for example, the individual bandage package of the occupiers is sealed, probably the russian tactics from here what have already reached the first line, but they
