wind defense, artillery shells, as well as f-16 fighters. ukraine has received over $7 billion over $6 billion in aid, and we want to say that dozens of our allies, they've given more to ukraine, and we in the united states are seeing how much... there are, how big the promises are for further security aid packages. we are trying to expand short-term and long-term aid to ukraine. this includes the purchase of new military equipment for defense, for the defense industry of ukraine. we we are assisting with the efforts of the netherlands, particularly in terms of manufacturing.

shells in ukraine. ukraine has the opportunity and will be able to manufacture such weapons at home . for our part, during the meeting in june, the usa promised to provide assistance to ukraine in the amount of more than 6 billion dollars as part of the new security assistance package. we provide ukraine with armored vehicles in order to... so that the military fighting on the front lines have something to fight for. we provide ukraine with air defense systems in order to protect the ukrainian civilian population. but the kremlin continues to inflame the situation in ukrainian cities. and i thank all our allies and partners for what you have done, for all the efforts you have made so that ukraine can... close its skies, and

now we are on the threshold of the third winter, during which ukraine will be in war, which is why president biden has already endorsed a new $150 million aid package. ukraine will receive additional air defense systems, anti-tank weapons, missile shells, missile systems and artillery. we also focus on short-term needs of ukraine, but we are also working together with our partners on a long-term perspective for providing assistance to ukraine. we coordinate our efforts in this direction, and therefore within the framework of the contact group on the defense of ukraine, we help ukraine build a reliable future. and you can see. that as part of

the coalition's work on capabilities, we trained ukrainian pilots and also provided them with the necessary equipment for the technical support of the f-16. ukraine is also developing its own production, and we are currently interpreting the needs of ukraine and trying to correlate them with... implement us production, as well as our meeting partners in the framework of the ramstein format, we are strengthening our own production, we want ukraine to create a strong base for the coming years. we want to help ukraine succeed in the coming months and years. you know, i... i'm always

moved when i look around this room, when i look into the eyes of those who are here, and it's really impressive when i see representatives of 50 countries who have come here from all over the world, and who adhere to the which is right, and you know, we're all here standing up for our security in the 21st century, putin...who is the epitome of autocracy and imperial ambition, he represents a world where people who are wrongdoers go unpunished, and we understand that if we live in such a world, it will be truly shameful for those who love peace, this cannot be allowed, and that is why we have gathered today from everywhere, and we are here actually ...

standing and working for the values ​​that we profess, and i know that everyone, everyone and everyone of the participants understand that now is the night, and therefore we cannot retreat, i convey word. general brown. thank you, mr. minister, greetings to all. so, two weeks ago, ukraine celebrated independence day, this is the 33rd year of its independence. on august 24, 1991 , the declaration of independence of ukraine was signed. the ukrainians decided, they had the right to self-determination, and the territory of ukraine has been indivisible, sovereign since that time, and ukraine is governed only by its constitution, which is actually also on the territory of ukraine, but we see that for 2.5 years territorial integrity of ukraine, ukraine is under siege, russia continues to press,

but ukraine has shown the whole world that they are indivisible, ukraine is fighting with all its strength and with our support ukraine will remain an independent and sovereign state. thank you minister austin for having us all here again today. thank you for your leadership. also, it was actually a great honor to work in the presence of president zelensky today. thank you to minister umerov and the ukrainian delegation. thank you to all members of the contact group on the defense of ukraine. this coalition, it is unshakable, indivisible and helps ukraine from to mock russian aggression. ukraine has been fighting for almost three years, and we see how the world responds, how we collectively fight in accordance with international law, national sovereignty and democratic norms.

russia's aggression is a challenge for the whole world, and that is why we see that national borders and supremacy. rights, they are the foundations of world peace, if they are questioned, then we can say that such aggression can explode elsewhere, we work for the sake of international order, and that is why our supporting ukraine is not only helping one people, it is ensuring these principles, fundamental principles at the global level. the coalition showed us... common commitment for common goals, when russia attacked ukraine, a lot of thought, on ukraine, a lot of thought that kyiv would fall in a matter of days, but ukraine once again proved how brave it is, how she is strong and can stand up

to protect her freedom and independence. ukraine found weak points in the russian army. and continues to seize the initiative, it recently repelled an offensive against kharkiv, now ukrainian troops are already fighting for the territory that is on russian territory, we see how great the spirit of ukrainians is, and we continue to help ukraine, we are looking for new ways to ensure that this will, that this spirit... don't burn out. over the past few weeks, russia has set itself even stronger targets, it is attacking, attacking, hitting schools, hospitals, residential areas, it is destroying

cultural heritage sites, and so we are sure that russia is indeed, it will use all available means to overthrow ukrainian sovereignty, and that is why we are responsible right now. in order to help ukraine fight, and we cannot stop now, ukraine needs concrete means to restore its military power, and so now we just have to step up the pace, provide training, provide aid and accelerate delivery. we also hope that ukraine will develop its own production of military equipment, we will provide... ukraine with the necessary documentation in order to to support her in this endeavor. we believe that ukraine will be able to powerfully manufacture the shells and other equipment it needs. ukraine is determined to defend itself and fight back against

the authoritarian regime, and we support it in this, because we stand for freedom and democracy. 33 years ago, ukraine declared to the whole world that it... is an indivisible, sovereign state, and they obey only laws passed by democratically elected deputies. within the framework of the assistance provided by the contact group with the defense of ukraine, ukraine can repel the enemy and remain a democratic country. thank you, ready to answer questions. our first question to the reuters representative. thank you very much. two questions. general brown. tell me, please, what do you think? or the actions that are now in the pokrovsk direction, please tell me

how much kyiv will suffer if they do not manage to save pokrovsk without the forces that are in kurdsk. a question for general austin, please tell me, therefore, whether or not either side can win this war. on the battlefield in the coming months. when we talk about ukraine, about its efforts to protect it territory for two and a half years, we see the result. but within the protection direction, i want to say that our main efforts are aimed precisely at providing ukraine with what it needs in order to protect its land there. we want to do so, and... the goals of protecting the direction

of the industrial regions of ukraine, so that they are achieved, and therefore we can, and we will help ukraine to strengthen its combat power on this part of the front. please repeat your question, the second part. of course, or president zelenskyi provided some details. regarding the victory plan that will soon be presented this month, please let me know if you think either side can claim any concrete gains in the coming months, thank you. thank you for the question, so i had the opportunity to talk to president zelenskyi and... so you said that president zelenskyi already talked about his goals when

he started his opening speech today. and if there are questions about any specific goals, then i will say that initially, we did not talk about any plans for victory, we talked about very many things, but this is the question that you are talking about now, we talked about it ... because it all depends on the top- level negotiations at the level of the presidents. when we talk about victories that can be achieved, i want to say that there is still a lot of work to be done, but it could be very easily completed if putin decided to simply withdraw his troops from the places that he has packed in ukraine, that is, putin can very easily complete this one. war if he would simply make the right decision to stop

all hostilities. when we talk about some absolute victories, here everything depends on specific definitions, because ukraine defends its sovereign territories, and we will continue to do everything from our side to help them in this effort. when we talk about russian goals, yes, of course, we can talk about it, and that's why i think that... for them, victories are precisely determined by these goals, but putin wanted to annex ukraine, he does not consider ukraine to be independent, sovereign, and therefore i think that this conflict, this war can be ended at the negotiating table, but unfortunately we are not we know when this time for negotiations comes, we continue. work, we continue to add strength and effort to ukraine so that it

is in a strong position during these negotiations in the future. thank you, next question, we will pass the floor to the representative of rid. mr. minister, i congratulate you. so, ukraine is once again asking for permission from the us so that... they could launch long-range strikes on the territory of the russian federation. what is your opinion on this matter? what is my opinion? so, about long-range missiles and theirs. use on the territory russian federation we are now focused on helping ukraine succeed tactically on the battlefield so that they can defend their sovereign territories, and there are many ways to do that. of course, it is not about any specific capability that will be

decisive in this military campaign. there are a lot of us. talked about tanks, we talked a lot about other capabilities, and every time we talked about the fact that it is not about some panacea, about some magic pill, it is about the integration of different capabilities in order to to achieve specific goals, so we will be focused on finding as many ways as possible to help ukraine, we want to support ukraine and push it to succeed in... and this will create new opportunities, our efforts help ukraine to better protect its territories, but if you think about what i said before, we say this is the biggest war in continental europe, and when it all started, yes, had enough military

power, it turned to us. with a request to protect their safety, to cover their skies, and we have been helping since then, and you can see how versatile our help has been, so i emphasize that i do not believe that there is any one specific thing that will help ukraine win, everything needs a comprehensive approach, proper training, skills and resources. next up is a question for cbs news. thank you. first, mr. minister, when we talk about the operation in kursk region. please tell us how satisfied you are that ukraine has the resources available to continue moving in this direction.

it was a question for general brown and a question for the minister. president zelensky repeatedly repeats and calls to allow the united states, to allow ukraine to use these long-range missiles, what prevents the united states from granting such permission? again, what 's stopping the us? i don't, i emphasize again, if we give such permission, it does not mean that something will radically change, turn the course of events. ukraine has a lot of power in order to, capacities, to strike military targets independently, they have storm shadow, for example, they have atakams, we now know what the russians did, they moved their air force over the border.

for example, so this is such a strong argument, but i will say that in the near future we should focus on actually helping ukraine to use what they have, to use this equipment effectively to, excuse me, mr. minister, president zelenskyi and others say that there are other strategic goals inside. all of them, and which can be reached with precisely those missiles that were in ukraine delivered yes, of course, there are many goals, russia is a big country, there are a lot of capabilities that ukraine has that ukraine can use, in fact, to neutralize these goals. so, regarding the issue of kursk, yes, we had a conversation with

representatives of the ukrainian delegation today. and we are negotiating with head sirsky, that is , now very much, when we think about how we will make sure that they have enough resources, that is, it is important that they have the appropriate power, so i think that in the near future... we will have many such positive discussions, like today with the ukrainian delegation. thank you, last question of this press conference. mr. austin, so there will soon be a presidential election in the usa, if donald trump wins, please tell me how much

this will affect the aid to ukraine and to general brown, please tell me if it is possible, if it is possible for ukrainian forces to retake the territory that they lost, so regarding your... question: will the election affect, will the election results affect aid to ukraine? so, actually, i don't want to talk about what the election results might be, because, as i said, it is very important to focus on the fact that ukraine can create specific conditions on the battlefield that can be advantageous and use them to their advantage, in order to win back their territory , and that's exactly what i'm focused on. so, i would like to emphasize that the first thing we are focused on is that ukraine continues to be a sovereign state,

as they declared in their declaration of independence, so in terms of regaining territory, i know that is one of the main goals, and president zelenskyy talks about it very often, this is one of the strategic goals, so how will we support ukraine in the near future. prospects, so we will provide them too, help them to ensure that the operations they conduct are successful. thank you, mr. minister, thank you, mr. general, that concludes the press conference, thank you. now i have a toothpaste that does more. lacquer activ++ with a plus of active ingredients. i use it to overcome problems with clear and unpleasant. lacal aktiv++ with two-phase technology actively overcomes bleeding gums and gives fresh breath. lacal aktiv+p - an action that you feel immediately. in
