see. in january 2023, the head of the president's office andriy yermak defined the goals: victory, the attention of the whole world to ukraine, cooperation with... countries of the global south, as well as china and india. a year has passed, what went wrong? the counteroffensive, it was supposed to begin in the summer and the shores of azov were to be ours again, but the lack of weapons, the lack of aircraft, the three lines of enemy defense turned the promised banked a victorious march to melitopol for a bloody, exhausting struggle, for every meter they paid in blood. the diplomatic front also asked: the july nato summit in vilnius did not give an answer when. the photo of president zelensky at the summit, separate from the group of western leaders, eloquently illustrates the reality, added to the fire and absentee dispute with the defense minister of great britain. we thank you very much for that, i just don't know what he means, how else do we need to thank, well then, well, let

him write to me, how i need me to thank people, so that everyone, so that we are fully grateful. the tactful remark of the ambassador of ukraine in london, vadym prystayk , cost him his position. in ukraine sent to britain, we still don't have it, the front moved slowly and they were looking for the culprits at the bank. defense minister reznikov was the first to leave on september 5. three days earlier , the oligarch ihor kolomoisky, the one who actually turned volodymyr zelenskyi into a politician, was arrested. scandals began to fall on the heads of the central government, like fragments of broken illusions. odesa military commissar borisov, a millionaire and owner of a spanish villa. it was defended to the last, but the public demand was so strong that bankova decided to disperse the leadership of the tsk throughout the country, which only failed the mobilization and presented another problem to the army. no. replenishment time rejected the curtain. in power, some steal like the last time, and

they are afraid to tell the president about the real situation on the battlefield. volodymyr zelenskyi's careless speech at the un led to a big quarrel with the president of poland andrzej duda. and the blocking of goods at the border has become a real blow. for an article in the economist, zaluzhny described how the front really lives and the truth gave many people a hard time. crimea until the fall, elections in the spring and even billions. structure were removed from the agenda, the bank enters the new year against the background of scandals, a lack of money and ammunition, and a drop in trust in the president. according to the magazine , the singer taylor swift became the person of the year. president zelensky was awarded the title of main dreamer of the year by politico, but the final press conference was not about dreams, it is possible to be and live with with skepticism, but it is also possible... the country, sorry, with skepticism, but i am not ready for that, what

the president is ready to do for the victory of ukraine, we will see in 2024, we reduce the expenses of government officials as much as possible, therefore , we can say yes, from the person of the year according to the version magazine in 2022 to the main dreamer according to the version of the political edition, this is how i drew this transformation of the president of ukraine and the supreme commander-in-chief for myself. volodymyr zelenskyi, well, my colleagues will definitely have questions about this year's president and how obvious he is has changed, i have a question, if you allow me , i remember when volodymyr zelenskyi was elected president, and he walked in the crowd of such smiling people, and he looked a little like such a joyful boy, he jumped up, he greeted his colleagues there in his own way. to the former, so to speak, team, and this, well, it seems to me, after all

, there was a slightly different person, now, for example, we saw the footage, this is a person, so often with such a dramatic facial expression, well, it's no secret that volodymyr zelenskyi mostly has such a fairly large popularity in the west, but inside the country, as they say, it happens differently, but still, there are probably some objective feelings, objective reasons, in your opinion, has it changed in... volodymyr zelenskyi during this period from such, well , boyish, some such emotions of behavior to the present days, for example, to his last rather large press conference, what are your emotions about this? well, at least president volodymyr zelenskyi said at a press conference that his team is this five or six men, one can only guess who he means there besides andriy yermak, relatively speaking, well, obviously his wife, who besides the fact that the wife is the first lady, also performs a certain job. but anyway, i would separate zelenskyi from everyone here, since we are talking about a person, well, on the conscience

, on whose hands lies responsibility, responsibility for the country, i think that 2023 has become such a cold shower for volodymyr zelenskyi tangible, he, what to talk about corruption among his entourage, yes, i don't know how he reacted to it, but obviously this is a certain betrayal, the basis of the president, yes, because i cannot talk about corruption in the execution of... the president , there are no cases, there are no suspicions, there is nothing to talk about to speak, so there can be any guesses, so this was the first such betrayal, you can say, such blows on him, expected, obviously positive, expected positive decision at the vilnius summit, maybe more positive than what was received, it seems to me , was also an unpleasant surprise for him, we will not say now about the reasons why this happened, obviously he expected something else, no, there were no expected results from. again, there are many reasons, and serhiy will talk about it today, but

this was also a certain blow, but the president passed this year under blows, let's say, like at one time the penalty soldiers in the russian empire went through lines with special routines, it might have been, that's what i would call this year for him, and he came to the end of this year like a person with a headache and such hums in his head from broken illusions that broke and fell on his head, as henry thoreau said, that the fragments of broken illusions hit the most painfully, obviously these are broken. and they made him more depressing, i believe that it is during this period of holidays that there are some possible consultations, conversations, he will survive it, and it is very important, what... he will draw conclusions for himself, first of all, yes, who will he be able to clean up in his environment, who will he bet on, what will he give up, and the most important thing for me is that he understands that this is all so serious that it is now at stake not about him, not about his entourage, not about his reputation, it is about the fate of the state and the fate of millions of people who remain in this state regardless, that is why this year was a year of painful lessons, for him moral,

mental, and bloody lessons for the country , because soldiers were dying , people were dying, the infrastructure was being destroyed, and so on... again, it is very important who will be next to him and how much he himself will be able to concentrate and make decisions for himself, as the president, who is responsible for all of this, be it please yuriy vasyl, you know, i still want to develop this a little topic, because you know, changes are different, changes can happen, you are talking about transformation now, but there can also be evolutionary changes, so has volodymyr zelenskyi evolved as a president in 2023, that is , has he grown from the bottom to the top, or it's just that he's changed and everything, uh, i saw that... not that he's evolved, he's obviously just uh been dealt some pretty painful blows in life, and a lot of the things that he may have believed, he's in them, i think no longer believes, and what guidelines will he choose for himself, what will he rely on and, again, what will he will make a bet, the year 2024 will largely depend on this, because well, let's not live under illusions that

collegial decisions are made here in the country, in the country the decision is actually made by president volodymyr zelenskyi, no matter who prompts him. you just mentioned the cold shower, the year 2023 was like that for our head of state, i think that also, well, this cold shower was the reduction of international aid, it was especially felt at the end of the current year, in november, in december it became clear that international the community is essentially waiting for something, it is no longer at the word and deed of volodymyr zelenskyi , a lot of money is going to ukraine, it is necessary... to draw certain conclusions to international partners and then give certain funds in a dosed manner, i think that volodymyr zelenskyi understands this, well , i think that he saw that he was treated differently than a person, probably politically more mature, and decisions were demanded from him, not that you said something, you declared something, we are for you, and not only emotions , not only acting, well, let's go

frankly, here again, how will he spend this short, he doesn't have a lot of time, in fact, the army doesn't have a lot of time. he doesn’t have it at all, so a lot depends on his decisions, how he will carry it out, it will depend on it, and again, i think, most importantly, he should understand that the mistakes of a century ago should not be repeated, because we are all we saw how it ended, how he will be reborn finally, well, let's wait, i also, i also wanted to add, because we once said after the press conference that here is the president's team, six people, the president is the seventh, and many... did not name all the members of zelensky's team to the end, but i will say that there was such a popular video on instagram, they filmed the popular comedian anton tymoshenko and the musician netsopotvorno together, they recorded such a song, it's called: why do we need tatara, it's very good, it's very funny, it's very cool, unexpected, there anton tymoshenko walks sadly through a romantic park

and picks up a leaf and finds these ads printed like that there. needed aitishnyk, you need to set up a computer and also an announcement with the question, why do we need tatarov, so you see, it goes to another audience, this is the whole discussion, but vasyl, i would like to ask you briefly, maybe one of my colleagues says: this is the title of dreamer of the year, i have heard so many different interpretations, some say that this is a negative characteristic, someone says that it is not a positive characteristic, someone says that it is something erotic, and what you yourself put into it is the title of dreamer of the year, well, understand what. .. we blame the publication politics, then i understand that it is quite cynical people work there and are sober and who really look at the world, so i think that they had a certain kind of sarcasm in this, but it is not very positive, you can dream, the main thing is what you are ready to sacrifice, that you have to realize these dreams, and the main thing is to realize them not only at the expense of others, a little somewhere and at the expense of yourself, so let's see if

he will be able to realize his dreams, so that they, as they say, come true, well, but in any case, everything is in the hands of volodymyr zelenskyi, a year has passed, ukraine has... stood in spite of everything, he has a chance to change everything , well, at least to try, and now that we have finished the conversation about volodymyr zelenskyi, we will move on to events outside the borders of ukraine, in fact, every day you heard how yuriy fizar talked about it, and in fact, the most important thing, the most important thing that happened outside of ukraine and what affected the events in ukraine, we will look now and discuss it later. a year for... extremely important decisions for the future of ukraine. this is how 2023 will go down in history. we have seen real support from our allies and partners around the world, but the most important thing ukraine is one step closer to nato and the european union. the doors to these institutions are not just open. in the north atlantic alliance and the european union, we

were invited to become their full members. first there was the nato summit in vilnius. his main achievement is the cancellation of the requirement for ukraine to implement an action plan regarding membership in the north atlantic alliance. instead, we got real directions. and also an assurance that... everyone is interested in ukraine joining nato as soon as possible. i hope that at the summit you understood that how much we support you. this support is real, and i hope that we have finally put an end to the conversation about whether ukraine is waiting for nato. you will become a member of the alliance, we are all moving in the right direction. secretary general jens summed up how important this summit was, both for ukraine and for nato. the decisions made in vilnius mark the beginning of a new chapter in the relations between nato and ukraine.

today we meet as equals, and i look forward to the day when we meet as members of an alliance. and then there was summit of the european union. in mid-december , the leaders of the eu member states made an extremely important decision to start negotiations with ukraine. this is a historic moment, it shows confidence in the european union, the strength of the european union. the decision is made. we are starting negotiations with ukraine and moldova. we want to support ukraine. this is a very powerful political signal, it is a very powerful political decision. today i want to tell the people of ukraine that we are on their side. despite the efforts of the prime minister of hungary , viktor orbán, to block its adoption the invitation to the eu proved. that for the sake of the necessary result they can find the right, and most importantly , legal solution, that's how it works, and it's really a very strong result for ukraine,

for the whole of europe, another step towards ukraine's full membership in the eu. i thank everyone who supported me, fulfilled exactly what we agreed on, thank you to everyone in ukraine, to our team, who did everything necessary, we fulfilled the recommendations of the european commission, sums. there is still a lot of work ahead, we need to continue to implement reforms, but most importantly, the finish line is visible in the distance line, and how quickly we will cross it and become members of the eu and nato, now it depends on us, well, actually, is it possible on the front of international politics, even though i don't like to say the word on the front, let us write this year into an asset at the border of international politics to ukraine or to the passive, yuriy, please, well... you know , vasyl, you know, colleagues, the 23rd was a difficult year, and it was difficult for each of us, in those sections, in those industries that we are talking about , it was difficult, the 24th, what will

the 24th be, maybe even more difficult, maybe easier, i don't know, but the 24th was memorable, at least in the field in which i work, after all , it was a decision, well, such historical ones, i would call it a decision and decisions, and what i want to emphasize, these decisions were adopted not thanks to our government, but rather in... contradiction to what our government was doing. in the story, we saw that these two landmark decisions were made at the nato summit and the european union summit, and the nato summit was in july, the european union summit was literally a few weeks ago, in december, so we were not invited to nato , but we are clear they said that we will become a member of nato, and now we need to go for it, we need to do it ourselves to be accepted into nato, so we were not invited... they asked us to join the european union and they say that to the european union we still have a long way to go, 2030 is just a benchmark to which we have to strive, but at least at this summit we heard that

they want us there, and again, one condition, we have to prove that we want to go there ourselves , we must be ready, we must make the changes that are expected of us, and we have to become a truly european country that wants to... join this european family and a nato country that wants to join, so there's a lot of work ahead, but these are historic, these are truly historic decisions, and i think, once again , these decisions were probably made in contradiction to what our politicians were doing , so colleagues, who has questions, please, yuriy, you said that historical decisions were made contrary to, rather, the actions of our authorities, but what if you... evaluated and why would you criticize the efforts of the ukrainian authorities on this diplomatic international platform , if we are talking not only about president volodymyr zelenskyi, who

is required by the constitution to... implement international policy, in particular foreign policy, if we are also talking about the ministry of foreign affairs, if we are talking about the office of the president, in particular, which sorts on ourselves in some places, perhaps these functions are too much, yes, on the international platform, and also about ambassadors in certain countries, we know that in great britain, in particular , there is a problem with this, the czech republic, great britain we still do not have ambassadors. eugene, answering yours question, you said it very well, there was no effort, no effort, there were some efforts, but... well , these efforts were crowned with some success, and again, contrary to what this government was doing, because why was there no action on major international platforms very often the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, but he was the head of the president's office, why do we not have ambassadors in very important countries for ukraine that help us, great britain, the czech republic, why such questions, why, why, why, why, how

are you correctly said, the office of the president of ukraine is going through. responsibilities, which he should not at all, not what he should take care of, he should not fulfill, and all this leads to the fact that in europe there are some such skeptical, sometimes skeptical thoughts, skeptical positions regarding ukraine, regarding our european future, and this is manifested in the position of, for example, viktor orban, who uses all this very well, then informs his citizens and shows that ukraine cannot be included in the european union. for example, those leaders who said that ukraine is not ready to join nato, yes, we are are not ready, but it is only about the fact that we, even in nato, were not given a formal invitation, but we were told: here is a signpost to which you will go, and you must come there, were maximum diplomatic efforts made for this, there was no, there were some efforts, fortunately, thank god, thank god, we have this historic result, and i will

call it historic. serhiy has a question, please yes yuriy, i would like to ask what is happening in the united states now in terms of the reality of getting funding for ukraine's defense needs, because that relationship between the democrats and the republicans, they're becoming such an internal american war, and do they feel that it's of fundamental importance to our nature of warfare given that we very much expect this help. the key word in your question is what is really going on, no one knows what is going on. this is real in the american politicum, because the american politicum is closed in the american, in the united states of america, and even the americans themselves to probably don't understand this at all, but i will try to answer your question about aid to ukraine. so you really said that for americans, ukraine is very far away, and allocating large sums of money to ukraine in order for it to defeat another of its rivals, russia, which is just as far from the united states of america, is kind of,

you know, it's... kind of for many americans, i mean, but not all. thank god that there are conscious people in the united states of america and among american politicians who understand that the victory of ukraine - this is a victory for the entire civilized world, and therefore it is important to help ukraine. will they give us, will they give us money to support us, to buy weapons with which we can accelerate this victory. my personal opinion is that yes, they will. dragging it out, using their own internal political squabbles, domestic american political squabbles, the two american parties, the democratic party and the republican party, are quarreling with each other now, for example, about the southern border with mexico and about migration legislation, they just want to earn some dividends on this issue, but both of them understand that the money that will be allocated to ukraine of 61 billion

dollars will be the lion's share of it. to stay in the united states of america, the lion's share of this money will settle on american military enterprises, the lion's share of this money will go to the salaries of people, americans, who work there. and yes, they are pulling, they did not approve aid to ukraine until the new year. i hope very much, but no, i will say in a different way, i am sure that after the new year they will unblock this aid, because they understand where this evil is, and this evil is in russia. i'm just remarking, and now i'm very brief, that in fact the distance across the bering strait between the usa and russia is 13 km, so on the one hand it's far, if across the atlantic, and if it's east, it's not very far, well, it's just a word, i remember this phrase, what the americans do, go through many options, then do as it should be, i hope that this time it will be the same, please, yura, questions about european integration, well, especially for business, for

small, medium-sized entrepreneurs. many consumers have a difficult situation.
