[000:00:00;00] this is until we have at least this parity , it will be extremely difficult for us to work. again, you know the hybrid cast-offs of this whole process. so i can say that the world was in a difficult, difficult state. the fact is that no one expected this from us. without an exclusive institution, everyone is, i emphasize the whole world, they gave our country a very short life span, but they prepared us for the so-called partisan war and did not expect that there would be such a mad opposition of our people, we explain to all of them that you simply do not know us, right? the big problem is with regard to the fact that the russian federation. well, she always lies. she wrote textbooks that are currently in all the universities of the world . they just need to be thrown into the trash, but i don’t do that. in these textbooks, it is written that we are some brothers there, that they are some seniors there. it's not only about us, it's about belarus, about moldova, about georgians and many

other things, and when in the early 90s the west made a bet on russia, and this was a huge mistake of the west, which they don't want , you know, adults don't want to admit it my mistakes and this is a big problem thank you jungle my next questing the next question for you in many respects the situation will depend on how we can win peace and not only war in war the requirement for this is the work of the government but will it be possible without the support of our western partners and here. i think that many of my colleagues wanted to ask this very question. why is the western support provided

to ukraine, the provision of e-e weapons and so on , so slow and gradual? are there no such political reasons for this? what do you think? do you think no, i don't think so at the beginning it was clear, it was logical, we provided javelins and so on, they showed unexpected results. i didn't say that the russians would quickly take kyiv, so and so, but there were those who you said and such, of course, i think that it was logical actually to have a certain a warning as president biden said nobody wanted the start of the third world war and you know i was in the constitutional chamber when

such decisions were made and i understand how people make these decisions what are they deciding differently from those who think from the outside why didn't they do something else lovely i think that uh some decisions really should have been made faster and now i think so but i also have to say that we have to recognize after all and the leadership of the united states is not only about white house but also about the congress and the executive branch and the all people of america they should be given credit because they have provided unprecedented support in the entire period since the second world war 45 million 2 million

ammunition is a huge amount we can imagine trucks how many there will be these cars threatened by these munitions if you imagine all this aid given to the ukrainians, this is a huge support and we have to pay tribute to the leadership of the united states in this matter, this would not have happened if some fundamental decisions had not been made by both political parties of the main political parties in in the us, of course, i would like certain decisions to be made faster and maybe the desire to avoid risks was too high, but i have already told you that when you come here in the room where such decisions are made, many are perceived things are a little different and i would very much like to see some necessary decisions for ukraine made right now that

would have a certain catalytic effect, say the decision on the m1 tanks. i think at least six months earlier i would like to have a decision on this regarding the f16 it is also necessary to solve this issue as soon as possible and in a different way to weapons systems, but we have already gone through a certain period when there was too much concern and we must do everything within the limits of what is possible, of course all these processes and authorization and allocation must still go through the congress and it also takes time and denmark let's say and no no i'm an american of danish origin by the way and their decisions are also extremely a-a important because we have

certain limits on the provision of certain er-er types of weapons in compared to the remnants of what is in the country. therefore, this , too, must be taken into account. a lot depends, of course, on the success of the offensive of ukraine, which is taking place now, but i want to tell you that this is no longer a summer offensive, it is an autumn offensive that will last until the winter. how will he not be stopped by roadlessness and bad weather? will also have a certain result. but really, i would like to see it done more . i have always advocated it. i am not politically

engaged. i am not even registered for the next election and i do not express the position of one or another political party, so i can tell you that i am absolutely not biased and i hope that this support will grow for ukraine, we must make ukraine as good as i can, it is also prepared for the next period of the offensive, which will be after and this pause, which will already be caused by weather conditions and no, but there is not a single type of weaponry that would radically change the whole situation, this is a whole set of weapons and systems here we also include cluster

weapons and the like and again, what what distinguishes the ukrainian armed forces and their commanders from others is precisely the use of all possible forces and means at their disposal in a rather innovative way and the ability to adapt to the conditions that have developed . hostilities for this is the future of combat , there are several very important things . the first thing is that the offensive company will be long. a very difficult and not easy period , no less difficult than the one we experienced last

fall and winter. my question is: in your opinion, to what extent is ukraine ready for winter and do you think that we should expect an escalation of missile blows from russia , er, what concerns the regulation regarding the fact that now there will be slush, the war will stop. look, we are not russia, this is not russia. if this slush goes, then the whole country will stop there. unfortunately, the war will continue. we are not going to stop for a single day on release on our territory, and it does not depend on the time of year, day of day, time of day, or any other factors , first of all i would like to say that the united states is indeed the number one country for us , we are sincerely grateful to the ukrainian uh

i apologize to the american people who help us, sincerely grateful to all the representatives of the political elite in the united states who help us, but keep in mind that this is help not only for us, it is help for the civilized world and if we are left alone if we are on uh, you know there is a saying that victory always has many parents, and defeat is an orphan. i really would not like us to be left with orphans, moreover, we will never do this, and the things that are happening in the world today are because of our help. just suggest that people are beginning to understand more deeply the processes that are taking place in the world today and at one time when china overslept when africa overslept when let's say there was such a lullaby that everything is already good in the democratic world today we have the consequences of this lullaby to feel the same as regards preparations for the winter, you raised

a question, i can open a small curtain there that at the next meeting of the supreme command that the president set the task of protecting the objects of critical infrastructure, the issue of preparation for winter is a separate issue, and it will be considered because it is extremely important for us, because it is also the economy - it is the life of our people, it is also our children and the elderly, they should be in humane conditions and in any a couple of years, that's a different question. when putin attacks not military facilities , unlike us, but critical infrastructure facilities, when he attacks food warehouses, when he destroys things that could not be destroyed according to military laws, that 's it. the reaction of the world is rather sluggish in my opinion so i can say that these sanctions are currently there, of course, there are already 11 or 12 packages of them, they are constantly being counted

there, of course, they are powerful, but keep in mind that these sanctions will be prolonged in a certain time if these sanctions are reversed 180° and you said that it is forbidden to buy in russia - buying would be a completely different situation, you mean that russia should increase its foreign trade by 20% in dollars and covalence over the past year, that is , i have a question, what is happening to the world then who then buys a terrorist from ukraine and are not these countries that do business with them complicit in the murder of our children? it is a simple question. it is not difficult, but it is inconvenient to ask because, unfortunately, some when it comes to principles and money some choose money and it's very very dangerous keep in mind if you just start trading on the principle you will definitely lose it's a very dangerous thing thank you very much

jungle and ukrainian e-e leaders provide information about russia's missile stocks and so on they were able to renew their stockpile of missiles somewhat. but now it looks like they hardly have the stockpile they had last uh-year, and how can you comment on whether you know anything about what stockpiles of missiles, of course, we are aware of what is happening on the territory of russia regarding the supply of -e missiles directly in the armed forces of the russian federation , we know everything that happens there, to the last missile, unfortunately , the production in russia continues uncomfortably

in the volumes that the führer puts them to the execution of a i want to note that, unfortunately, this is happening taking into account the configuration of those things that were definitely not located on the territory of the russian federation, but located on the territory of the country that we consider our partners. this is a big problem that needs to be clarified , moreover, these companies must these supply chains must be worked out very carefully and you need to understand how it happens , through which countries this supply takes place and why it is already fresh let's say that spare parts appear in such missiles that kill of our peaceful residents. i emphasize once again that it is not customary to say this in public, but keep in mind that when you want to hide something - it will be a completely different side later, we mean that in the modern world you cannot hide anything, sooner or later everything will be known to everyone

as for the supply of missiles, unfortunately, they do not have them, of a certain category, we understand that some have fallen to 8%, some to 18% compared to february 24 , 2022, but there are stocks from soviet times, but we are talking about the s300, which too big it's a damn shame, and we're talking about the fact that they can stick to airplanes. let's put it this way . here are the so-called fabs. unfortunately, there are still , of course. we would like them not to be there at all. mother let's say it's like catching men that's more uh act boldly in these things i emphasize once again as soon as you are in a state of fear keep in mind that you will definitely lose you have no one no one to be scared as soon as you are scared there should be no fear this to say very clearly

now that it is important for us here too the turn of our conversation let's see there the united states we are grateful for the tremendous historical support from the united states and for the personal support from president biden we are counting on further party support from the united states and your opinion as we all move into the future the united states presidential election is approaching that it would be politically more dangerous for president biden or those criticized by his opponents for not enough or too much support for ukraine, and honestly what would be politically dangerous for biden on your opinion, as i said before, i am not a politician, i am not a reformer, i am a diplomat. i am a soldier. i want to explain what i am asking. i understand . look at the reality, because he will be

criticized and those are the ones who say that he gives too much. it is not enough for ukraine, it is not enough for those oceanic partners there, or on some internal programs, they always talk about it, there are quite powerful voices on this issue, but the senate has very serious support for ukraine and, uh, and the republics , the democrats support senator makona, the leader the minorities and the senate are very united, yes, the congress is a small part, there are questions, but as you know, there are those who say that i do enough for any president , they criticize both the left and the right, and we welcome you in

the realities of the white house and money, i think the question is how to ensure that the american people resolutely continue to support ukraine in the war, which in my opinion is a war of good against evil, and there is no question about what is happening here, the unprovoked nature, the brutal nature of the culture in the russian armed forces ukraine is aimed at war crimes and uh, we adhered to the geneva convention, we always supported it, we made mistakes in wars, there are mistakes, if it happens, it must be recognized and we must try to avoid the seventh - but uh, the whole

culture if we talk about the russian armed forces, i i remember whether i was in other places . so, again, i think that the key is for the american people to continue to understand that ukraine is not just fighting for ukrainian independence and territorial integrity, but that they are fighting for a world of democracy, supremacy rights are again for good against evil, and if putin is not stopped here, what will happen next ? and again, uh, we need to be sure that all our european partners also support the western and eastern parts of europe , and again, another topic mentioned by the secretary

, we must not only economic and financial sanctions, expert control, but we need to ensure their implementation better, because if you impose sanctions and which ones are not followed , then this will allow the russians to continue producing additional weapons systems , e-e missiles, and so on about what ukraine defends not only its independence, not only statehood, but also the world of democracy, mr. danilov, i cannot help but ask this question because it directly concerns national security. there are many conversations in the public political environment in ukraine about the possibility of holding elections in ukraine next year, we have already asked about the fact that next year there will be elections in the united states as in the national security and defense council evaluate this perspective its

realism and who draw conclusions from it the reason for this is a very difficult question. keep in mind there is one thing that is already clear to everyone. the russian federation does not have the ability to defeat our country by military means. they have only one situation left - this is the issue of our internal destabilization and keep in mind that the elections in the conditions that our country is in, this question is precisely about internal destabilization . why? because what is the election? it is a competition, first of all, platforms. about the elections to the verkhovna rada and the elections of the president, let's call a spade a spade, imagine how

such discussions will unfold in a state of war and what will happen to russia. everything cleaned cleaned up is quite powerful but unfortunately not all of it so how will this happen physically, we as a state have ensured that everyone , i emphasize every citizen, has the right to vote. please tell me where during such an active phase of the war you saw elections some people in the united states are starting to tell us about israel like this. i apologize to israel, there is no such active phase of the war. can you imagine the war during the years 1941 to 1945? please tell me where it took place and i want to remind you how a person who still has a little historical education, i can tell you let's go back to the beginning of the last century and remember when the collapse of russia began, when this movement began, let's say

that bachevism, etc., it began . began to find out there relations when the agitators began to campaign in the trenches for the soviet government and invites that let's say this is nonsense, there is no desire to repeat it let's say that we need to preserve our ukraine in the temporarily occupied territories, on september 10, all these dances are being held by structures that have nothing to do with democracy and not with any processes, if you are talking about democracy, then definitely not during the war thank you very much my olmos a frostient power conversation my neckstution until the end of our conversation and has the following question where general

petraeus is one of the most important moments for ukrainian security in one of the interviews you said that ukraine should receive reinforced concrete security guarantees let's be frank no other alternatives are better alternatives than joining the alliance. this is the only way that can guarantee the proper collective security of ukraine, the guarantors of ukraine's security, should ukraine be invited even before it ends and president zelenskyi and prime minister yatsenyuk also talked about this, and here i mean what you think about ukraine's accession to the alliance, i hoped that there would be such an invitation, please, and i hope that there will be something similar

until this next year in washington, you know it will be especially the anniversary of the new founding of nato, but since i was uh, uh , to american generals who served in nato, i understand these challenges and what politics alice has before her and the reality of the field is that this it will be extremely difficult to get a clear path to nato and knew such things as the director of the cia. i realized that the world is not always the way you would like it to be. i would like everyone to think like this for ukraine can become a member of nato and there will be all these guarantees and so on, but i can

say that some the members want to do too much. i think the secretary general is inclined to do exactly that. if you want, but he is the head of the alliance . soon there will be 31. the united states plus 31 will be when sweden allows. these decisions after all, i think it doesn't really matter what the old soldier thinks about it. to be honest, i think the reality in the nato alliance is that we can wish them to do something. but we can't guarantee it. i hope that the next summit will provide a great opportunity.

and next summer in the united states, washington will get a clear way forward . today, the process of political negotiations led by the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi , regarding the so-called guarantees, let’s call them guarantees for the supply of weapons and support to ukraine, and how do you assess our course is targeted for the preparation of the long preparation for the future nato summit in washington next year, what concerns the work of our president , it is no longer a secret for anyone in the world that this person works 24 hours a day for our victory starting from february 24 , 2022, because forecasts were completely different, moreover, i can say already today that the wishes of some were completely different, so the plans were completely different

. to be respected, to be reckoned with, as for the security guarantee, i can say that the most powerful guarantee is our healthy civilized society, this is our people, this is our biggest guarantee about our independence , about our inviolability and about our position in this world as for nato, of course, i would really like to be a member of the alliance, but i would really like the number 33 to be behind our country, but as my colleague, the general , said, what are the realities of life ? the matter of carrying out these things is a simple incident that happened in romania, who are now pretending to put on black glasses and say that we did not see it. so, when on the romanian side, i will say that it was by accident or not

by accident that iranian and russian martyrs flew there. yes, and nato exploded there. let's say this, he calmly observes it and says, well, there was no such thing. well, let there not be any others . see, in this way, you can play with the fact that it will be at your place . let's say it boils like this. dangerous at all examples, i can give an example when in the 14th year you remember and for the whole world it was not a secret what exactly was a russian missile, it was a civilian mm-17 , where 298 civilians died , civilians, what can i do to say the vast majority of citizens, these were members of nato countries, they also protected these citizens , natani, we mean that we must be strong, we must be powerful and powerful, a healthy democratic country is our guarantee of

security, first of all, will we have 33- and number yes, i think it will happen because the persistence of our president and the persistence of all our citizens proves that we should be members of this alliance, moreover, we will strengthen it as much as possible because the events that will unfold in the near future in the world they will not stop if someone believes that the third world it hasn't started, then it's a big mistake, it has started, it's been going on for a certain period of time, it's in the hybrid period, now it's in an active phase, and if someone thinks that this is a clarification of the relations between russia and ukraine, then this is a huge mistake, its political is much more complicated. let's put it this way, the circumstances of today say that, unfortunately, this is not the last war that will be in the world, and here i wanted to make a small remark about the sanctions, you know. after this war, there will be a lot of changes, the institution will change
