[000:00:00;00] and i hope that israel will not leave it to itself either, it will lead to some international investigation , i don’t know, the hague, israel did not sign the rome statute, but to some nuremberg process, or this process, which will be carried out in israel, as with eichmann, but i believe that it should be documented and investigated. mr. silbert, after everything that has already happened, and we understand that it is unfortunately... not the end, i am talking about the shelling that is still going on in israel, could the country's plans change regarding cooperation with other countries, at this, at this moment, i am talking about saudi arabia , so israel was on the way to making such special agreements, some agreements, to come to an understanding with saudi arabia,

we understand the important role of these agreements for and for world security, and in general, for the balance of forces in the world, is it already changing, can it change, or on the contrary is the situation stable, at least in this respect, you know, saudi arabia cannot support israel at the level of propaganda, it is simply impossible, because well, because for 75 years they have been engaged in criticizing israel, writing in their school textbooks how a jewish woman tried to poison the prophet muhammad, and so on and so on, i, at the moment, saudi arabia has not yet reached such a stage, to condemn terrorism and support israel, well, even turkey is not yet mature, and erdogan also did not condemn hamas and put all the blame for

what is happening on israel, yes, of course, on the hands of hamas, which is trying to present all this as a religious war, yes, no no religious war, there are many arabs in this situation, but one famous arab blogger wrote that he feels like an israeli, and many others, i do not want to say that all arabs, all muslims support this madness, this is barbarism, but they are more likely to keep silent than to speak about supporting israel, simply out of force. here is public opinion and so on and so on, what will happen next with the peace process of saudi arabia, it depends on the results of this war, the americans also understand this, the americans are very interested in the creation of such an alliance, in the creation of such a new military bloc in the middle east may be possible in the future, and i would not for the time being bury the prospects for the normalization of saudi

arabia, although of course, for a while ... that they are so hybrid, then, all night, celebrate with hezbollah flags in the streets, lebanese cities, some kind of disco for the destruction of civilians, and then start something there and shoot at the border, well, plus this last shelling, which was answered with side of syria, yes. these heights were very interesting holland, who was not there, as they say, the russians at one time were shooting through, in kinnaret, but in this case they also received an answer , do you see the possibility that after all at the level of the states there from the same syria or lebanon , maybe even an invasion across the border to support hamas, and

accordingly, that would mean a completely different thing. this is what arrived for this , an aircraft carrier arrived, and they will probably transfer another aircraft carrier here, well, israel itself has an air defense system, but with hezbollah , israel will have to fight on its own, and this a nightmare scenario for israel, it will have to pay a high price, there will be big losses, big victims, because hezbollah is much more dangerous than hamas, these are combat-ready units, such real rambos, who fought in syria for more than 10 years in the civil war. on the side of assad, these are 250,000 missiles, accurate, precision-guided , iranian-made, these missiles can hit targets throughout the territory of israel, and quite accurately, and this will simply be a nightmare scenario, after which israel it will take a long time to lick its wounds, but - after all, the probability of this is not very high, today there are such artillery duels in the north, there are separate incidents, now

there is an incident where there are apparently casualties on the part of israel, while this information is classified, but yes, it can be like a fire at a gas station, yes, if you smoke at a gas station, it can explode at some point from some small spark, exactly the same here, while we are smoking at a gas station, we hope that it will not explode and the situation will not get out of hand control, at the moment neither hezbollah nor israel are interested in the fact that a real war has started there, moreover, hezbollah has promised the lebanese government that it will not be the first to enter into this conflict, but you understand that when such a duel begins, it always it's possible to say that they started first, i'm sorry, it's time for me to run, really, mr. silbert , thank you very much, hold on, victory to you, howls silbert, a journalist from israel, actually about the course of events, and we are right at this moment when we were talking , this is how we read the message from

israeli news that there was an attack from lebanon on israel, militants fired an anti-tank missile in the direction of a military post on the territory of israel, and at the same time the idf strikes back, too. about mortar shelling and the threat of terrorists infiltrating the roshanikra district. yes, well, this is actually what we had time to talk about, but one more colleague of ours, a journalist, but he is probably in the center of the capital, egor checherinda, on a call from our studio, egor, congratulations, congratulations, roman, well we are not in the very center, almost in the center of the klovska metro, here we are basking in the sun and warmth, together with viktor shlinchuk, our flight... expert, we will talk about geopolitics, viktor, i congratulate you, well, i will say that we are waiting for lloyd austin's address, his the opening speech at the next face-to-face ramstein, a meeting to which the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky unexpectedly arrived, as the media reported,

what do we expect from this ramstein, and in this visit, the physical presence of the ukrainian president, what can it change, please, well it is necessary to understand what we have in other contexts now... the new ramstein, first of all, the situation around israel requires a great reaction from the world community, of course, on the other hand, we have a new minister of defense of ukraine, and actually, i think that volodymyr zelensky came to strengthen such a political position, taking into account the fact that mr. omierov does not have such a close relationship with the same lloyd austin and with other representatives of the defense departments of other countries, so i think that this was exactly the goal, to do, to do

such a trip in exactly this format, well, by the way, the day before, or even tonight, we received information that belgium, in which ramstein will take place, will allocate us its f-16s, but in the 25th year, when they receive new ones from the americans new generation f-35 aircraft. to what extent does this statement and this information provide us with optimism? just this morning i read an interview with former british prime minister boris johnson, where he says that, unfortunately, democracies are one step behind autocratic regimes, and actually, this is a very good characteristic, because while the democracies check some... legislative things, while they think for a long time, think about possible escalations, think about possible exacerbations, at this time russia and similar countries from the already so-called

axis of evil, which is being formed at this very hour, they act according to the principle , it is necessary to strike, and then we will see what to do, and actually , it seems to me that the issue with the supply, weapons for ukraine, it is simply so late, that is, it should have been done a long time ago to do, and in fact, now a lot of westerners, even experts, are talking about the fact that , if we had handed over weapons a year ago, the ones that are now only thinking about handing over or not, then we would have completely different results on the battlefield, unfortunately , well, about the results and about the intentions, well, in particular, about the american partners, an influential american publication wrote the day before: they wrote about the fact that the white house, that is, the administration of joe biden, is trying to include in one package, the fly also flew to us to see, in one package aid for of ukraine and for help for israel, and in this way, the white house officials hope

that this package will be voted on by both houses of the parliament, the congress and the american senate, whether this is really the inclusion of the ukrainian issue in the issue of actually saving the state. can help ukraine, i would very much like it to really help, so far there is no such 100% probability, moreover, i know that there is an ongoing debate in the congress. to reduce this aid from the 100 billion that was announced previously up to 40, and it’s actually very, not very, let’s say good signals, so let’s see how the events in the united states of america will develop, mr. victor, and yes, we will continue about the events in the usa now, but we will turn it on for three minutes lloyd austin, he is sitting next to volodymyr zelenskyi, brussels, the beginning of rammstein, opening remarks. and then we come back, all the horrors from

hamas, and we see how determined they act, and how brutal they act, we, the united states stand in solidarity with israel, support the state, their people, condemn terrorist attacks by hamas, we are in close contact with our israeli partners and will provide them with what they need. for them to win. our president has made a clear position that israel has the right, like any other country, to defend itself, to fight terrorism, and therefore, in order to ensure security in the region, particularly when we see the scale of the atrocities and what a challenge it is now on a... global scale, today during

the meeting we will remind the world what we swore to give to ukraine, what a commitment we made, it is a great honor for us that the president of ukraine mr. zelensky is in the hall today, we are determined to strengthen our efforts within the framework of the coalition, for the sake of the ukrainian struggle for freedom. we congratulate mr. umerovo and the ukrainian delegation who are with us today, and today i also congratulate the new chairman of the joint committee, the chiefs of staff, mr. charles brown, we congratulate you, the coalition continues to make history in our unity and in our strong support of ukraine, therefore the usa,

we repeat once again that the usa will be by ukraine's side as long as it is needed. today we expect new gains, new results, as well as providing ukraine with what it most urgently needs, we will be with ukraine as long as it is necessary for it to live in a free future, in a free democracy, for it to overcome what brings... the russian invasion. and today, mr. umerov will provide us with the latest data on the ukrainian counteroffensive. we see that ukraine is stable moves forward, ukrainians continue to liberate their territories, despite all these echelon fortifications. we salute the bravery of the ukrainian soldiers in order for them to push out the aggression, push out the naysayers and stop putin's aggression. today, we

hope for the contribution of everyone who is here, present at the current meeting, so that ukraine can continue to fight. in the framework of the current meeting, we will think about what can be provided to ukraine in order to overcome urgent problems and challenges, as well as how to develop ukrainian military power in order to produce weapons and ensure a bright and safe future. therefore, today we will search, search. what is necessary for ukraine, in particular, when it comes to pppo systems and ammunition. we will be ready, we also welcome the new aid packages prepared by the participating countries from the contact group. also, if we are talking about the recent package that was worth a total of 200 million dollars. we are actually talking about new systems, because ammunition for pppo, as well as long-range ones

shells, means. accurate impression, also tanks, howitzers and others, as well as means, anti-drone means, we say, the total aid that has been allocated to ukraine, it now already amounts to more than 40 billion dollars, and we will continue to act so that ukraine receives further billion aid, so we're actually talking about most of our allies who have helped ukraine, actually increase the percentage contribution to the defense sector, we're here today to discuss how we should balance when it comes to responding and immediate aid, as well as about long-term aid to ukraine, so we will work to ensure that the members of the contact group on the defense of ukraine in order to organize a new coalition, a coalition. members of the coalition,

they will think in what area they can increase their own aid, which would strengthen the overall power of ukraine. we will strengthen ours. training, training that we conduct on the territories of nato countries, training of the ukrainian military. we also ask countries to organize such coalitions, to go beyond specific platforms and sites. our contact group is looking for new areas where it is possible to help ukraine, both in the short term and in the long term, because it is about the future of ukraine and the whole world. today, we cannot underestimate what putin's aggression entails. we understand that russia is preparing for another missile attack. we saw how many people died in the storm, in the thunderstorm, in the thunderstorm. we know that russia is

striking with ballistic missiles and drones. she deliberately does everything for that ukrainian cities and the ukrainian population suffer. as well as critical infrastructure facilities. we see that now the target for putin is the ukrainians, ordinary peaceful people, and he wants to undermine their spirit, but he will not succeed. we know that. putin hopes to demoralize ukrainian society, but instead he demoralizes his own military. he wants to isolate ukraine, but instead he isolated russia. the whole world, but in return he could not even fool his own mercenaries, so this war, a war of aggression, no one can predict now that time is on the side of the kremlin, we are here together today, united to ensure that ukraine has

what it needs, especially when we talk about the coming winter, we will strike precisely , we're going to beat our fists, so, because we're focused on making sure that the kremlin doesn't succeed in its goals, but after all, this is a war that they voluntarily started, so i'm now appealing to all of those who are here at this table right now to , to understand what the challenges are, because putin receives weapons from iran and north korea, we are united here, and putin is alone. we understand what is at stake, because ukraine is now fighting for itself, but it is also fighting for us. ukraine is important to us because the war started by putin has undermined the security architecture of the entire european continent. ukraine matters because russian aggression has

challenged all of our allies. ukraine matters because russia's atrocities against civilians have undermined our shared values, including the international order. and international law, ukraine is important because ukraine, due to the war in ukraine, many people are suffering now, in particular due to the lack of food. ukraine is important because we know that an aggressor, a strong aggressor, cannot oppress its neighbor with impunity, absorb it. ukraine is important, because through ukraine we are now making those efforts that can lead to and strengthen security in the world on a global scale. we are all together now, and as i said, we continue to believe that our support, support for security in ukraine, will not waver, not a single the storm will not shake it. thank you to all of you, and now for the first time, we see that

the president of ukraine has personally come to us, and therefore i give you the floor, we congratulate you, mr. president. thank you very much, mr. minister, thank you for your support, thank you for your leadership , thank you, we feel your help, thank you for your leadership in holding all the meetings of the contact group, sir, dear ministers, dear generals, thank you for your efforts, for your common solutions, because you are helping... us throughout this conflict. thank you, general brown, for the first time today participate as the chairman of the joint committee, the chiefs of staff, and for us with despite your military experience, because you, you are a pilot and a pilot, in particular on f16 fighters,

and i know that today we will do everything to protect democracy, mr. minister, thank you for your faith, faith in ukraine's victory, mr. secretary general, i know that you believe that ukraine's place in nato, next monday will already be 600 days of our resistance to russia, resistance today no one can say , probably how many more days we have to protect our independence, to protect our identity, but we can already say several important things, among which putin will not be able to achieve his goals, secondly, russia will not be able to, will not be able to. afford a new arms race and we are sure that democracy will win, and in fact we understand that

this is necessary not only for our country, but also for every people in the whole world, now is not the time for slavery, we all know that the ambitions of moscow were not limited to ukraine, and therefore we are all convinced that we must stop these ambitions in ukraine itself and to do it as soon as possible, because now is the most profitable. time, we now, we cannot, we understand that now it is very important to give aid, to give weapons to other countries, and in africa, in asia, wherever russia started, where russia's cancer cells started growing, so we know that nato is now ready to defend its members against external aggression, and may you never have to. in reality, what we are going through, i know that can protect russia, protect europe and the whole world from

the expansion of this russian tumor, so want to emphasize, a just conclusion, full protection of our sovereignty, restoration of our territorial integrity, provision of security and guarantee architecture, and so we know what the situation is now, the frontline situation, we need to apply pressure without any pauses, pauses, without any interruptions, here what is important now are the principles of effective defense, this is the kind of defense that does not leave our enemy a chance to rest and recover. choose, or choose any other tactic. russia lost its initiative, now it does not win. and therefore, we now have to act with the help of ukrainian courage, with the help of your help, we are now determining what

is happening on the battlefield and most importantly, what will happen there. and despite the fact that the occupiers are trying again to continue our positions, they are trying to strengthen themselves, and therefore it is really difficult for us, but we know that these are our soldiers who are determined, who determine the course of events, and therefore russia cannot now to channel hostilities, she is in a position where she needs to enlist the support of others countries, we know from the side of north korea, from the side of iran, and you see that for the first time, russia went to pyongyang to get support, they don't have enough resources, you see that they want to... escape, she wants to find some way out, she can't

stand what we are doing to her right now, including the attacks of the fleshless and the like. russia now, we know that they no longer have that influence on a geopolitical scale, but at the same time, ukraine, again, russia has a lot of resources at their disposal, and you you see that it can lead to huge tragedies and we see that where it explodes, explodes in the middle east and in the general, we cannot allow this to continue, we have to act preemptively, we have to put even more pressure on the aggressor to , so that he would exhale faster, so that the aggressor would weaken, so for this we need to make sure that russia suffers defeats, so that it cannot make further statements and statements. we

know that. we know that one of the kremlin's tools is what they are proud of their achievements, and last winter they wanted to destroy our nuclear power plants, they wanted to destroy our network of critical, critical facilities, we know that all of you, all the countries, all the leaders who helped us with means of pppo, we thank you today, thanks thanks to the equipment. that you have provided for the restoration of our energy resources, we thank you on behalf of our people , our children, and we are sure that on this earth russia will repeat its tactics, but we are sure that we are ready, that we have drawn certain conclusions, thanks to the efforts on your part, we we want that even

during the attacks on israel, from the territorial side, from the terrorist side, and also when russia had similar tactics during the occupation of our nuclear power plant, you see that it failed to do what it planned, so today our main the task is actually to survive these difficult times, to survive this winter, but first of all it is very important not only to survive the winter, but to strengthen our pppo systems, this is now a key moment. and if moms succeed in this, then as soon as possible we will put an end to this war, it will be a just end, the just end of this war, i am convinced that it will be soon, because we see that it provides security in the sky, it guarantees normal life in cities, it guarantees the functioning of the economy,

it functions, it such long-range air defenses can ensure the functioning of our export corridors and in the black sea and the danube region. we will ensure that russian fighters will not approach our borders, they will be afraid. and so it will also solve the problem of those guided missiles, guided bombs that russia is producing. therefore, today we have to take another step in our air defense. it will. a victory for us, an intermediate victory, we know that this will be a big and powerful blow for russia, because it will make it impossible for her to advance her strategy of terror. we have to ensure safety for our children, so that they can live, so that they accumulate economic activity, we

need normal exports in order not to prevent any food crisis. we are also talking about metallurgy and other, other minerals, other resources that we export, we need this in order to function, so that our children go to schools, to school , not only study online, but also offline, we, we have to provide them with such a life, so that they do not live from anxiety to anxiety, so that our factories do not worked from alarm to alarm, on a regular basis, we want our refugees, who are temporarily living now on the territory of your countries, to already begin to feel that they can return to ukraine, because as soon as our social and economic growth, development, we will understand that life will start moving towards normal, we
