[000:00:00;00] everything that this or that state can do is listed, but a specific state comes and says i will be there for the next 5 years, three years, five years, seven years, this is a subject of negotiations , i undertake to supply you with five air defense installations, 100 tanks , and conditionally i say there yes, there are 50 planes, something else, then, for this block, we sign an er agreement , others pass, he says, look , i don’t have my weapons, but i promise that i have all the russian assets that i have arrested, i er, i will hand them over to you about this we will sign an agreement, that is, with each country concretized agreement uh, there are such points that i have heard several times from experts what is written in english in this morning's document, not all of them are exaggerating, but many of the experts refer to the budapest memorandum, and the play on words begins when

they say that it was not written there guarantees and others said, well, in the ukrainian language, one and two guarantees, but for the english language there are clear boundaries of a guarantee - these are guarantees, and the other - this is such an assurance that we say that what is written in this document in english is a guarantee or reassurance, first of all, i want to say that even in the absence of e-e guarantees for certain political or legal obligations, and ukraine received from its partners weapons worth tens of e-e billions of us dollars and literally today i saw the statistics of an international international agency about the fact that in ukraine there is the largest a-a increase in defense budget expenditures in the world, plus 620 percent in my opinion, and we understand that it is only a part is our own expenses, and the rest

is actually a-a gifts from partners and all that was done without any legal documents and obligations. and what is called an honest word, we did it, and we are now trying to put this honest word on paper and record it. and there is indeed a linguistic discussion between us and our partners, we constantly interpret it as security guarantees they are interpreted as a--a commitment in the sphere of security, but in this declaration there is a very important point, why we are talking about security guarantees, because in this declaration there is a very important nuance, it says that these bilateral agreements that will be concluded with each country, they will be concluded in accordance with the legal and constitutional procedures of each individual country, that is, the general declaration is a political

document, but the next step is that these agreements may well be legal documents and turn it into legal obligations, that is why i am also at the institute i took this separate course on political terminology and the difference between applications and kamitzman is obligations and political legal obligations political obligations but the declaration creates a framework and as a result the framework must be concrete specific agreements therefore, it is not important to focus on this now, it is important to focus on the specific results that will be achieved as a result of this work and whether it is correct. i understand that we will sign these agreements with countries for a period until we become full members of nato. well, in principle, definitely this this is the logic, and we insisted that this declaration contain the sentence that this mechanism will work as long as ukraine moves on the path to the euro-atlantic

community, that is, donato i by the way, when the work on this declaration was carried out, it was not easy and the partners made serious progress as a result of our , let's say, requests and efforts, but the president emphasized in every conversation that we do not need a second budapest memorandum, we have already been through it, we will not go into this history again because then nuclear weapons in exchange for political promises. this story will not be membership in nato in exchange for political promises , therefore it is clearly recorded that this mechanism will operate as long as ukraine moves into nato. if any country wants to for example, on the confiscation of money, because it can be a longer process than the process than our membership in nato. if any country wants to continue

working on this after ukraine's acquisition of membership in nato, we will only support it, and we will talk to each country about it . i think it is one of our greatest successes. at this summit there was a cancellation of the membership action plan because it is always such a bureaucratic procedure that can drag on endlessly we have an annual national program here already even in the name there are certain terminological restrictions will monitor our implementation of this annual program and who will assign us tasks , well, first of all, we also opened a little behind the scenes at several meetings with the right people who have an influence on this process. program for the de facto second pdc. well, if i see that i want one step, you will take

one step in this direction. some kind of monster, with all the love, but immediately after the hugs with gratitude for all your help, i will have to beat you on the hands and er. this mechanism was as flexible and simplified as possible, and there is a phrase that the minister of foreign affairs will regularly evaluate this progress, the progress of ukraine on the way to membership , but in what way ? in what way?

no, no, it is impossible. by the way, for georgia , the pdc has been preserved, pay attention, but the achievement here is that the pdc is a very bulky and long-term mechanism, that is, you are really drowning in it. the tool for slowing down the operation, that's why we got rid of it - thank god we deleted it and now we will work with our partners to ensure that everything happens as quickly as possible in the process, when we have to wait for the first task, which should take place by the end of the year the meeting of the minister of foreign affairs of nato and we already spoke in vilnius actually what the ministers, what decisions can the minister make at this meeting. therefore , we will work now in the coming months, but i will tell you this, nato is such a cool institution, unlike the european union, where really everything it's super regulated and procedurally, nato is a very political institution, so i won't

be surprised. let's put it this way, if ukraine is invited to become a member of nato, ukraine will receive it much faster than what we are talking about will even be fulfilled. let's agree within the framework of the annual national program, here is an important moment, a historic moment, we worked on that and we still think that we are free to make this a historic moment, but instead of a step, the allies took a half step, but the good news is that there is also six months left, not a whole step, but a half step and they will work to ensure that the allies also did it. in the end, due to certain misunderstandings, a story with ukrainian gratitude arose because you mentioned what to embrace and be grateful for. this story is the minister

of defense bin ules guardian quoted his words that people want to see a little gratitude, they say, from ukrainians, what is it about? that is, we somehow do not show enough gratitude for our help on the international stage. well, this is a shame, because britain really deserves our gratitude, just like all other partners, this is what i think that it was an unfortunate misunderstanding on the part of the british minister, eh. hmm, actually the prime minister of britain himself refuted his minister and publicly said that eh, he appreciates the gratitude of ukraine, which is regularly voiced in various formats, no one has any reason, eh they accuse us of some kind of ingratitude, but the truth is that, well, excuse me, we have a war and when i, er, i am also often asked by my colleagues, foreign ministers and journalists , and have they handed you enough weapons, and i say

the weapons will not be enough, exactly how long will our journey last? to the victory, when we win, then i will say thank you, the weapons were enough, but while the struggle continues, the weapons are not enough, and this is ok, an honest position that corresponds to reality, so in fact, i do not feel the sentiment that someone does not appreciate our gratitude, are we somehow not there enough? thank you. and secondly, why do i think that this is a misunderstanding? we sat next to the president of ukraine next to the prime minister of great britain according to the seating arrangement. by the way, this is the same seating arrangement what will happen when we become members of nato, i.e. the united-king alphabet, that is, it's just that, when you are usually invited, everyone sits according to the alphabet, and you sit next to the nato secretary general - it's like when the ukraine nato commission functioned

because you are a guest. and now we are already started sorry heat the chair on which we will sit as full members of the alliance and i sat i sat with oleksiy reznikov my british colleague james cleverley sat next to me and ben the voice and right there in the hall oleksiy and i spoke with james we will discuss something political there and oleksiy is right there with agreed by voice on one important military decision on weapons. here and voice, if the weather is good, that is, everything is normal. in fact, everyone is with britain, after all, they continue to make absolutely all decisions as they should. and the fact that someone there does not consider himself, well, how was it there it is said that i am not an amazon. well, we are not opposed to becoming an amazon . let it remain just a large warehouse open to ukraine, a warehouse of these british weapons. we are very grateful to every country that gave one

shell, that gave 100,000 shells, we are grateful to all of them. of the minister, it was a milestone, that now the next one will be like this vika, how will you work harder now ? it was a powerful diplomatic battle, the peak , it was such a diplomatic battle that every professional in which in which everyone a professional dreams of taking part a-a it was cool and effective, we achieved things about which, again, as always, we were told at first that this would never happen because this will never be left to make the results perfect, we will work on it therefore, the question of membership in nato is clear remains a priority until the end of the year. we need to open negotiations on joining the european union. we are working on the peace formula summit

. we will continue to work intensively with africa. there is a great pace, there is a positive movement, we see how the position of africans is changing, the right side and this is not only the side of ukraine , this is the side of justice , the side of international law, success then thank you ukraine is a sovereign and independent state, its territory is intact and inviolable and we will fight for it as much as we have strength we the people are the only source of power in ukraine, it was we who determined that the protection of the motherland , its independence and territorial integrity is our main duty, here

the national anthem of ukraine will sound again. we will never forgive the enemy who brutally destroys everything we love we fight for ourselves ukraine in the world for respect and dignity because we all want to live we respect each other the law when the country trembles from explosions when the night becomes day from the flashes we worry about our relatives and they worry about us our help forces against air defense hold the heavenly front they protect us and we must protect them, do not shoot and do not post photos and videos of air defense operations on the network . the national police of ukraine explains the simple

tactics and information is referred to some unnamed officials in the united states and in europe. to what extent do the data and conclusions from this article correspond to reality? usually , if the name of the person who is the source of the information is not mentioned, or, say, the organization there, the research institute or the center, such information is better e- to question or perceive, well, quite critically, because if we talk about the armed forces, it is necessary to understand what the tactical, operational, strategic level is, and the military at each of these levels limited information, that is, the information that we have at the strategic level. well, let's say general statistics in general, on losses, for example , of equipment or personnel. this information is available to a very limited circle of people, and it is definitely not a tactical, not an operational level. and it really flows to the top through many different

channels . and sources, but each of them who transmits information reports from the subdivisions to the top, they only have information within the boundaries of their subdivision and not the overall situation there on the front, let's say except for what concerns losses, we have repeatedly mentioned the numbers of the ratio of losses, for example, in manpower that we have during the period of the offensive in the south in 5 e-e and three times less loss of manpower than the enemy in the east, in general, almost nine times less loss. and as for equipment, our losses are lower than the losses of the enemy, that's why we say hmm well, that this had a significant effect. and this could be the opinion of an expert, let's say, but of course it should not be taken as official. it's just that if you follow the messages that appear in the articles of leading western publications, they

can be reduced to the fact that the counterattack did not go ahead as it was planned, ukraine is now changing its tactics, changing its plan, that's how much this conclusion correlates with reality. and the war , hmm, it's a very dynamic process, and let's say where there are hot battles there, uh. well, let's say that the same positions can be moved twice three times a day under the different control of one side or another because the dynamics of the battle are going on, but actually on this example it can be said that the whole war is the same. that is, many decisions are made quickly right now and say that this is a change of tactics. what are the plans? no, this is normal an operational response to an operational situation that is constantly changing. and why are long-term strategic plans impossible there? a single strategic plan can be this ultimate goal , let's say our ultimate goal is to free all

territories temporarily occupied by the russians , the ultimate goal, on the contrary, is to conquer the entire territory of ukraine, this can be long-term everything the rest is guided by the situation, even if we are talking about some full-scale offensive there - it is still a final decision made a few hours before the offensive itself. that's it all sides are meant, this is not some specific ukrainian phenomenon, therefore there is no change in the goals, there is no response to the operational situation, well, this is also what the western press writes about and what is obvious, what the ukrainian defenders are talking about - this is a terrible minefield on the southern front, whatever -what are the standards of military affairs in terms of the number of mines there per square kilometer , conventionally speaking, they have been increased many times . for example, the washington post writes that this has become one of the key problems of the advance in

the south. it is these mini fields. and what do the forces need? defense in order to pass them more effectively with the least number of losses, what equipment is needed for this, the key thing we need for an effective offensive is an advantage in weapons, we do not have such an advantage , the enemy has an advantage both in terms of weapons and in terms of the number of personnel, well, in order to make it clear that this is an advantage, yes, in general, the sizes and numbers, for example, today is monday, for the last week in the east , the enemy spent 353,000 ammunition , well, divide it into seven days. thousands, that's the difference. what is the advantage, yes, and this means that the continuous continues, well, in the directions of the offensive along which the enemy is advancing, and let's say, if in the south there is one, er , serious advantage, it is mined, and it

even happens in three layers, but in the east, it is different the enemy has a serious advantage in weapons and shelling, and it must be said that now they have intensified in the east, and starting from saturday there is an active offensive in the direction of kupyan, and they actually want to break through our defenses there, but they are not succeeding, but the situation is very difficult there now to the east and in particular in the direction of kupin, let's return to these minefields, how it turned out in reality when our fighters saw it and unfortunately, we understand that there are large losses due to these minefields, that's how it is in reality , how much more than the command expected when planning the offensive, or did we, roughly, the command understand that that's how it will look, well, everyone just imagines that the offensive is that we prepared to attack, and the enemy, well, no

, he didn't know and didn't guess at all. well, he just sat somewhere in the bushes and we passed by. well, it can't be like that. which the offensive takes place through the enemy's opposition and through the enemy's preparation. well, it doesn't happen any other way. the war is now going on. yes, and the enemy is definitely ready for us to take their territories. well, of course they are ready for that . therefore, we need to liberate these territories. first it is necessary to pass through such serious obstacles, there are mines, shelling, to reduce their defense potential, precisely because of this. and now the troops in the east and in the south are busy , if we speak in general, during the last week, they destroyed more than three hundred units of crops techniques, that is, all of them would go here

. it destroyed more than 100 cells of a compact concentration of the russian military. they were all destroyed in a week . they would all go here. everything that was destroyed by the armed forces in the past week . that is, it is necessary to understand that in order to move forward , the enemy must first weaken his defense potential so that he cannot defend himself in those realities where they have most of all weapons and people, so this is a normal process now, that is, if this is how to summarize the stage of the counteroffensive operation in the south that is currently taking place, then this is the exhaustion of the enemy's forces, this is not the passage of certain kilometers, but the creation of conditions for that further passage. he is in order that, god forbid, he does not announce any plan , but firstly, we need to prepare our situation , secondly, just as the enemy probes our

weak points in the same way, and well, and we are also looking for these possibilities, yes, it is absolutely normal, the process and everything moves as it should move, well, this is the key, er, the eastern direction , you are talking about the fact that, in particular, on the kupyan front, since saturday, there has been an aggravation, and this is not the first time there, but it somehow subsides , you know relatively subsides because it is still one of the hotter cells of the front, it ignites as it is now, what is generally happening there, that is, the russians are trying to reach kupyansk again, to regain their positions for the russians, the east is the main direction of attack, they have been there since january concentrated on reaching the borders of the donetsk region, and there i think that everyone is already used to it in our country, avdiivsk , maryansk, bakhmatsky, limansky, these are the four main ones they were moving along , and now kupyansk is added there, they want to regain lost positions, and there is one more the goal they are pursuing because

for them the east is still the key direction and the main thing for them is still the bakhmut direction, their task is to stop our advance there because we are there every day although it may be there gradually, but every day and surely we are advancing in the bahamian direction, last week we had daily advances, for example, along the southern flank, and in order to stop our offensive there, the enemy is not only , let's say, bringing their professional units of airborne assault troops there, and not only are they bringing troops from other directions, but they are trying to advance in other directions in order to draw back our forces so that we would be forced to abandon our reserves. well, let's say in the direction of kupyan, yes, that is their strategy now regarding bakhmut, i came across the opinion that the russians themselves there now they found themselves in a trap because they liberated it with such fanfare, they were destroying and raping just the city. so why

leave it now so that it would be possible and logical for them to save the equipment and personnel instead, they hold on to it very strongly as far as possible this assessment corresponds to the reality that they themselves are now trapped there. well , the most expensive operation of this war for the russian federation was precisely the bakhmut battles, because they really spent a lot of equipment there and put a lot of people there and for them, it has turned into such symbols, they like to create different myths there, but they have mythologized now for themselves , er, the bakhmuts are starting to fight for him again there, and although in fact they are really there in the passes and from the flanks, because we are almost all the key heights there occupied both the northern and southern flanks and we are shelling there , not that the answer is indeed being shot back, but they cannot move fully around the city, they cannot leave the city, and in essence

well, this is how the confrontation continues, this is we we continue to control the southwestern outskirts of the city there. well, actually, the russians understand very well that this is a trap for them. thank you very much for sharing the information without revealing any plans in such information tension. you know you should trust verified official sources of information, in particular your channel. people subscribed to the telegram channel, i mean where you simply talk about the situation at the front, it was hanna malyar, deputy minister of defense of ukraine, now there will be a short pause and after

her news release strengthen the borders of ukraine for drones join the gathering of border guards the sea can turn into a hot spot on the land waves can roll offensively the air can become a wall of fire on the path of the enemy fire the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine prove it every day by their own example we are proud of you thank you glory to the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine , the rockets will fall and we will stand up, there will be green and we will sing, the water will go away and the hatred will remain, the order will turn the forest

stb world leaders are unanimous russia is blackmailing humanity with hunger, declaring again that it will withdraw from the grain agreement, do not do such a thing to harm the poorest countries, putin and the general counsel and the president of turkey were urged by the ukrainian leader. instead, he assured us that we are ready to continue the transportation of grain, the main thing is to maintain safe conditions for this, another cynic, the rock of moscow and a blow to global food security, this is how the world reacts to the kremlin's decision to stop the grain agreement in the european union, they are convinced moscow's decision is unjustified and will harm millions of people in brussels remind the kremlin that it is not the first time that hunger is used as a weapon and promise to make efforts to ensure that everyone has access to ukrainian grain it is a shame that russia refused to extend the grain agreement this is very serious and will create many problems for people all over the world, we on our part will do everything possible so that ukrainian grain continues to be available i blame russia for this absolutely shameful use of hunger as
