for your trust. about the new one. package of security assistance for ukraine for 200 million dollars announced the us. the statement was made in brussels by the secretary of defense of the united states, lloyd ocean, opening the 16th meeting in the ramstein format. in particular, he told what was included in this package. these are ammunition for air defense systems, artillery rocket ammunition, high-precision aviation ammunition, anti-tank weapons, equipment for countering russian drones, according to the head of the pentagon, the total volume. for ukraine from the us side, initially a full-scale invasion of the russian federation is already almost 44 billion dollars. he also emphasized that a coalition of about 50 allies also provided ukraine with military aid worth more than 33 billion. we are, of course, very grateful to our partners for their help during the last meeting of the allies in the romstein format in the amount of 200 million from the united states - a rather modest amount compared to the fact that president joe biden offers for ukraine,

in one package in particular. which should ensure ukraine's support for the presidential elections in the united states, we will talk about this further with oleksandr levchenko, diplomat, extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine in the republic of croatia in the 10-17th years. thank you for visiting. so, 100 billion in one package is offered by president biden and a number of senators in order to ensure constant support for ukraine until the presidential elections in the united states, how realistic it is and, let's say, what it will be able to protect ukraine from, if this package is approved, well, it it would be very good, wonderful, because 200 million dollars and 100 billion, we immediately feel the difference, and it is clear that in such a global war that we are waging with russia and that tension is huge to the military, which the armed forces of ukraine take on, of course, that this type of help can be decisive, and this already shows

the attitude that the war must be ended, because with the help of 200 million dollars, well, you will not end the war in any way, this yes, something will last a little and so on, so of course it would be very good, we hope that it will go into the procedure , although we know, there is a big one too, there are opponents of this package, there are procedural things, not yet, so to speak , presiding over the congress, it will depend on him, well, of course, what depends, presiding, he decides the priority of the issues under consideration, right, yes, yes, yes, well, i don't know, according to their procedure, whether someone can perform duties, it seems that some serious things will probably not be missed, therefore, that's why it's very good, we know that joe biden wants to combine this aid with the help of israel, and on the one hand it's very good, because we see that

there are a lot of supporters of israel in the usa, israel is ready to save everyone, to give everything possible, if we are in this package, it is very good, meanwhile, there will be certain ones information that some... congressmen want to disperse aid to ukraine and israel, well , that's their business, the main thing is that these amounts and this aid reach ukraine and our armed forces. ugh, we also have bohdan ferenc, an expert on international issues , on the phone, we're adding him to our conversation, mr. bohdan, congratulations, congratulations, actually, let's evaluate this statement, because against the background of the difficult economic situation, in the united states , against the background... that hamas started a war in israel a few days ago and obviously the west will help and the usa is already helping israel this new $200 million security aid package for ukraine, how

significant is it? well, given that really, that is, yes, the packages are quite, larger amounts are quite difficult to accept so far, well, i think it is about the intermediate stage, which will really help us strengthen our defensive and offensive capabilities, but in at the same time, this is not enough in order to carry out the actions that are directly needed in the context of offensive and more medium-term tasks, therefore, with a view , again, to the context that is currently being formed geopolitical, primarily with the conflict between israel and palestine, unfortunately, there will be more difficulties with the adoption of certain decisions, and plus this internal political situation with electoral processes in the united states of america is superimposed, and when such

decisions sometimes become hostages of internal political battles, we take into account and we thank our partners, but we want more. uhu, well, in general, mr. bohdan, let's say how much this package will be able to provide again. read this constant support, because of which the president is worried, so joe biden, talking about the fact that it should be a single package, about 100 billion, he understands that now there will be certain discussions, i don't know, the election campaign, again, ukraine can become a hot topic on which, on which they can speculate, explain to our viewers why one package is much better than gradual assistance in several packages, because this is the logic of package voting, and it is always, well, one can accept very serious things and then implement them, this applies to political processes in general, even when adopted decisions on candidacies for certain positions, if there is a package decision

, that is, a balanced one, and there is support, then the procedures are much simpler and faster, so actually the logic of the biden administration is now such that, for now, again, it has not yet occurred, i i call it the superac phase. active political races, i.e., there is such a more preparatory phase and immersion in the whirlpool of electoral battles, so for now we need to immediately take... the necessary decisions that will secure both us and the supply of arms to israel, which will protect us from all the internal political battles and contingencies that will definitely arise, because again, the struggle is only beginning to intensify, so a package solution, it is logical and the main thing is that what concerns our needs is really ensured in this package solution.

in defense capability and in our offensive actions against the russian aggressors, the press secretary of the white house, karin johnpierre , announced that, in fact, this request for assistance to ukraine, president biden can announce literally in the next few days, during the coming week. the republicans have warned that they will in every way actually oppose attempts to link aid to israel with aid to ukraine, mr. you also said about it, actually, what can we expect, what can this opposition be? but maybe any opposition, because all this is related to political processes and, in fact, slowly dragging the election campaign, so the republicans cannot support the actions of the democrats, in principle, yes, they need to improve something, improve, or say, that it is useless, that's the logic, that's why

of course, that this will be a serious discussion, a struggle, well, they want to disconnect with israel , well, please disconnect, the most important thing for us is that this package be, and it must be emphasized that these funds, which ukraine receives, well, they actually convert into the situation on the battlefields, look, well, they invested , we mentioned 53 billion in the us, europe - 33 billion, but now, for more than 18 months, it means that we are holding the front, there is data on the destruction of russian soldiers, tanks, armored personnel carriers and so on, well, compare them, if they are not already want with this israel, compare how much you give israel this aid and how it is used, we, for example, can not get this unfortunate f16, it is not new enough. an old plane, but reliable, israel has

the f35, it is the newest, so we are the f16, they will protect our cities from missile attacks and help our army to attack, we will lose to the russians in the air, but how will they attack us? with the israeli f-35, it means that they iron quarters with gas, with the latest equipment - gas quarters, with old equipment - tanks. we protect cities, we shoot down missiles, ballistic missiles, we shoot down cruise missiles and so on , so the partners should be reminded once again that the aid that the usa gave to, for example, iraq and afghanistan, is 10 times less for ukraine, 10 times less for defense, for these events in iran and iraq and in afghanistan, 7,000 american soldiers died, no one is fighting here, we carry everything on our own, that's why investment. military aid to ukraine is an investment in european and world

stability and the rule of democracy over the world of dictatorship. by the way, mr. oleksandr, the first landed recently a plane in israel of the united states with ammunition, with which the idf is going, well, as they officially stated, they are going to strike targets in the territory of the gas sector, but look, yes, western weapons, western ammunition from the united states, why israel, let's say why nobody restricts israel in the use of weapons ... of western production in its use outside the territory of israel's international borders, that is, israel can be struck with western weapons in the gas sector, for example, and ukraine can be struck at russian military facilities from where they fly rockets at peaceful ukrainians, you can't. well, you see, well, the gas sector is the same, there was a un decision to create a palestinian state, not an autonomy, a state, but it

never came to fruition. i.e. there are two parts of gaza and the west bank of the jordan river, but they have not become a state entity, i.e. they have a representation in the un, so this is already a step towards that, but in reality it is not there yet, that is why gaza is sometimes drawn somewhere on the maps , as well as the component of israel, you see, and so on, uh, so the situation is a little different here, meanwhile you correctly noticed, they use it as they see fit, so that attacks, evil, murders and so on do not happen again, i... understand that our partners are very, russia is not, not hamas, we will understand, yes , meanwhile, apparently, to fight against russia, you need to help a little more than the countries that are fighting with hamas, well, well, you have to understand that, or not, that they went on mopeds, captured more territory than gas, in our country ,

if the russians had gone on mopeds, well, we probably repelled this attack, that's right, that's why this discussion should go on. and they are not afraid of ours to convey to the allies the real things, that what they are investing in, look at the front today, how many tanks are there, 30, hamas has at least one tank, no, well, maybe not, there are no hamas tanks, there are armored vehicles, no, and so on, but there are 450 military targets, well, i read the report of israel, 450 military targets, there are no tanks, no artillery, there are probably mortars, it is easier to carry and so on, then compared to hamas, we have a million of these targets, million, and probably this million needs some necessary help if we want this evil

to win, and russia is no less evil than hamas, i think, more so, because russia prepared hamas for this terrorist attack, we will talk about that later, let's join in our conversation oleksiy izhak, an expert of the national... institute for strategic studies, mr. oleksiy, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, actually, let’s talk with you too, how realistic it is that , in the next few days, joe biden will announce the allocation of a large, if not the largest, global aid package for ukraine worth 100 billion dollars, as various numbers, one of the experts says that from 50, let's dance, to 100, the amounts may differ, and that indeed the republicans can quite actively advocate not to combine aid to ukraine and israel and actually oppose it during the vote , what awaits us in the near

future? 100 billion, yes, such an amount exists in estimates until the end of the current president's term, so that it would be enough for victory, yes , such estimates are probably adequate, the previous package is large, well, here we just need to understand what is being said, we sometimes we get packages there are 200, 300, 300 million, there every month, we hear on every ramstan that the united states has provided a certain package, so these packages are small, they are allocated to , so to speak, within a certain limit, which is set for a certain period for aid to ukraine, and within the framework of which the president of the united states, the executive branch can make decisions independently without the approval of congress, but this is a big limit, it is now running out, which was when president zelensky was in december of last year, and then there was a vote, 40 people voted, or something like this amount, it is now

running out, there are 5 billion left, according to various departments, it has been for a couple of months, it is running out, a new one must be accepted... and now it is being discussed how to get this new one limit, a big package that has to go through, through congress, otherwise no way, joe biden has no authority to announce such a package, it has to be voted on, but now it is being discussed how to pass this package through congress, in principle , everyone knows, everyone knows in united states, that even with a drop in support for ukraine, if such a package, or in parts, or a large ... aid package for ukraine is put in the congress, it will be voted on by a majority, an overwhelming majority of democrats and half of the republicans, but the problem is to put such a package to the vote, because there is a golden share in this group of supporters, well, a small group, who believe that

the vintner of ukraine, because the election of the speaker depends on them, the speaker has the authority to put to the vote. and because of this one procedure is a big problem, so going back to your question, president joe biden cannot announce such a package, he can only say that he initiates such a package and can say how there are different options, whether directly in the lower house or through the senate to propose, but the lower house must still vote on the budgets , this is one issue, there are really different options being considered together with israel. or without israel, because israel would be very, very strong for us, such ideological support, because money is for israel, it is holy for of the united states, for anyone not. for trump, it is holy, if it were possible to combine these packages, and there is also a possibility of taiwan, well, if there were

such ideas, then the chances would be, perhaps, greater to vote, that is to hold, even under the condition of such a parliamentary crisis in the united states, the republicans are against, they think that israel separately is holy, and ukraine, well, so important, but but it is separate, so let's see, i think in any case the president of the united states will announce these intentions, remind the republicans that they promised support for ukraine, how it will be done, how this package will either be 100 billion, or will be divided into quarters and there will be some procedure, no one knows now, i think it will be what he announces, how he tries to help ukraine , maybe not today, and judging by the way things are going now... maybe it won't be together with israel, i think it's not very good for us,

but well, well, such and such american politics, mr. bohdan, here you want yet to gain an understanding, we often hear thick and thin that there are republicans against allocating aid in ukraine during the war, in particular, mr. oleksandr explained that the republicans there simply need to offer some alternative to the decisions of the democrats there, however, so that our viewers do not, well, do not introduce them into, as far as i understand , yes, that is only a certain part of the republicans there, a certain wing , which is now trying to prevent this new, new, new comprehensive aid to ukraine, or let's say, the party's all-party thesis, that's a bit like that, that is, within the republican party itself, there are also, that's right, certain currents, and to say that everyone there is against military aid is not possible in this way, of course, that is, in each political force, as in principle , both democrats and republicans have different values. political currents, that is, someone is more radical, for example, among the democrats, someone is more left-wing, like bernie sanders, someone is more

centrist, moderate, but the republicans now have more, such a watershed between those who support trump, clearly, so to speak, yes , the core is formed around him and by those who do not support trump, but understand that, in principle, the mood is now dominant exactly, we don't like trump's support, even though he is so, let's say, and in general we are not ready to see him there as the leader of the republican movement of the party, so actually i would not really start to define so categorically that the entire republican party does not support the idea or the decision to support ukraine, they are like hawks, let’s say that, because they are, well, the republican party, it has always been so inclined... for just such militant actions, not even there in different

parts of the world, therefore within the framework of the national of security, but this is precisely the issue of support for ukraine in the context of the doctrinal security policy of the united states of america , within this, of course, there is support for the republican party, but i will remind, once again, that unfortunately, all issues, not only support for ukraine, but the issue... of a different nature, internal , especially those related to the allocation of certain budgetary opportunities of the united states of america, they are now hostages of electoral battles, yes, this electoral struggle, so the further, the more this will be struggle and all the more, the more difficult it will be for the biden administration to make decisions, because for him personally and for biden it is also important to show the result, that is, that i can and

they will interfere unequivocally, even without correlating, for example, the level of their support for ukraine, with such an internal political context , therefore, it will be more difficult, this is a fact, an idea, after all, the implementation of this decision is now possible in a package with israel, it is relevant, why. because israel has always had the most powerful lobby by dozens years in the united states of america, and in this way, if it is included in the package, it will make our tasks much easier, mr. bohdan, are you sure that this lobbyist will help ukraine at the same time in voting for this package? i am sure that they will take care of themselves first of all, as a lobby, as an understanding, and why is this one needed. accept, but here the question is really a combination, i think that the republicans will be against, really, and we have already heard this in some statements, so that it

is all in one package, although the bicameral and party support for us was just key in these difficult, super difficult conditions during, yes, our fight against the aggressor, and let's hope that even after the election, i predict that regardless of how the political context changes in the united states of america, there will be as well as a return to this full bicameral, bipartisan support around ukraine and opposition to russian aggression. ugh. alexander of humanitarian aid for 100 billion was accepted, in fact, give taftology one package, because then he actually forgets about this issue, well, before the elections, at least,

well, of course, they already said when to re-vote organizationally all the time and so on, forces, means, energy, nerves and so on, it would be good, well, how realistic it is, i don't know, but it's good that now such an amount sounds, because it turns out that biden understands that it is necessary to defeat such a russia during the presidential elections, but to win with 200 million, well it is not possible, no way, despite all the desire and heroism of the armed forces of ukraine, so that is why there must be a number. it is completely different how the vote will go, well, we will see again, the fact that the israeli lobby will not help us, well, it will not help us, well, remember this dome, how much we asked in israel, and we asked, asked, asked, there is no dome, here, and i also think that we will also help israel, you see, we all thought that israel

would help us, now it seems that we will still have to help and so on. with those who ride mopeds, something is decided there and so further, that's why with those mopeds that probably fly, they fly in the sky, yes, that's why, that's why you have to be real, unfortunately, the situation is like this, it didn't improve with the attack of hamas, unfortunately, it got worse, on the one hand, but the deterioration of the situation for reasonable people is a challenge, i say once again, we must finally show the democratic world, here are the funds invested in ukraine and what we have now and here are the funds also invested in the fight against reactionary circles and so on and here is the return from of these funds. no need to be ashamed, no need is ashamed, talks about whether we want it, if the republicans don't want russia, well, for russia to dominate and so on,

well, you say so, you don't say that there are not enough funds, you say, we want that ... russia continued to dominate normally, it's okay, we will deal with china, everything is clear, if you dare to say so, but the republican party is historically anti-moscow, and it's only under trump that we see some cloudiness in its head, because they have always been strongly anti-moscow compared to the democrats, it some new phenomenon and so on, so we need to work with everyone, with all republicans, let them vote on this. let's see, i think that biden is specifically bringing out such a huge package in order to then start a discussion in american society, so what do we want with russia, you want it to go further to the baltic states, georgia, here moldova and so on, what do we want, we don't want, well, maybe something more radical should be done, the people who receive this aid show determination to actively

use it for what, to achieve peace. i absolutely agree with you, mr. oleksandr, but in particular, let's talk about what can change and can change or something can change in the course of the election results in the united states, because there have been reports in the western media that putin will try to bring this war to elections in hopes that the administration in the white house will change, and kyiv is already reacting to this, in particular, donald trump will make changes to the policy of the united states in order to win the elections, but how radically it is not yet known, president volodymyr zelenskyi said in an interview dj24. he noted that people will stop a politician if he wants to do something crazy, however , the head of state expressed fears about a sharp change in the course of the united states of america. trump has repeatedly made controversial statements regarding russia's war against ukraine. the ex-president of the usa claimed that ukraine, in order to avoid

a full-scale invasion of russia, could give up crimea or deviate from the course to
