watching the events in the middle east, and at the same time we understand that the war is in the near future. in the east and increasing escalation can directly affect the russian-ukrainian war, that's all. extremely seriously, and now we will include arseniy yatsenyuk, the head of the kyiv security forum, the prime minister of ukraine in 2014-16, in our obituary . arseniy petrovych is currently staying. in warsaw at the 11th conference of the warsaw security forum, which is organized every year in warsaw by the pulaski foundation. glory to ukraine, mr. prime minister, glad to see you. greetings antin, sorry, the connection is obvious. first of all, arseny petrovich, we would like to ask you about your vision of how serious the situation in the middle east is. we have seen how many ballistic missiles have been launched, launched and... by the state of israel, we understand that everything is balancing on the edge, at one time they said that the war

with iran could be the mother of all wars. in any case, we in ukraine are also aware of how interdependent the various bloodsheds of the chessboard are, and the russian-ukrainian war, and the war of the state of israel with many states and terrorist organizations of the middle east. word to you mr. prime minister the war in the middle east has very serious consequences, a year ago there would be hopes that there would be a short war, but it did not happen as expected, and the fact that iran launched 180 missiles, by the way, i will remind you that it is 70 more of palestinian rockets than the first attack that was made against the state of israel means that this conflict is going through the whole escalation process, what does this mean for the world, what does this mean for the world that... there is not just a hot spot that has existed for decades , and a flash point appeared,

and a significant amount of military, military, financial and political resources are concentrated precisely in the near east, where the ukrainians are, this also means that our key allies, which are the united states of america, must turn away a significant resource for the preservation of the security of the state of israel and for the protection of the state of israel, for russia. means that the western world will also be more concentrated in the middle east, and this in a certain way frees russia's hands in all wars, not against the western world in the war against ukraine. therefore, yes, it is an incredible challenge, i am not talking about mass media information, if you look at all the world's media right now, then as a rule, 90% of the language is exclusively prosaic. iran's move on israel and about the military operation of the israeli

security forces, the israeli defense forces specifically on the territory of lebanon and in the galicia sector, that is why this is the black swan that arrived a year ago, and this black swan has an incredible impact on world security and on russia's war against of ukraine. dear mr. prime minister, i would like to clarify, we can in ukraine, yes, taking into account the full-scale... russian invasion and the extremely complex war in it in the future, can we use the situation to our advantage, vying for ukrainian national egoism. now i will explain what is the matter. this is how we understand that the so-called axis of evil, north korea, the russian federation, and iran, has been drawn and highlighted. yes, and iran has now de facto declared war on the state of israel, which is the basis for ensuring the stability of approx. to whom in the east iran supplies the russian federation with ballistic missiles, which they use to kill our civilians.

well, accordingly, we understand that in the united states there are now extremely powerful debate, and maybe we would be able to connect the various bridgeheads of a potential extremely high level of escalation, world level, right? well, i don't want to use the term world war, but maybe everything goes to that, and accordingly, in your opinion. mr. prime minister, what steps should we take in order to strengthen, first of all, our ukrainian position, both in washington and in london, in berlin and in jerusalem as well. you absolutely rightly said that this is a long-established new army of disorder, a new military structure, that is, strictly speaking, what i'm trying to explain to our american allies is primarily from the republican camp, so i'll remind you that... that only a quarter of republican voters support aid to ukraine, and when you start to explain that

by helping ukraine, you're helping primarily for themselves, because russia is fighting against ukraine, but china is behind russia, along with china and russia are iran and north korea, which supply weapons to russia, despite the fact that, by the way, iran is under american sanctions since 1979 year, and no looking and the presence of sanctions, iran is capable of producing hundreds of ballistic missiles, hundreds, uh, so the threat to the free world from russia and... iran, north korea under the umbrella of china, it is obvious. can it be used for ukraine? i am not a supporter of the use of such terms. it is not right to use any war, but it is right to show who our real enemies are. and our real enemies. therefore, yes, a new army of evil has appeared. this army of evil did not appear

yesterday. just saw her from the moment when russia attacked ukraine. and this... is in need of the toughest reaction, this tough ukraine is fighting for its freedom and for the freedom of our allies, and for that ukraine needs weapons, and for that ukraine needs membership in nato. and now against this background of the middle east war, i am convinced that this has called into question the political will of many nato member countries, and whether they are ready to at least now invite ukraine to nato, because for the first time in the last few weeks. heard that the possibility is being discussed very seriously giving ukraine an invitation to nato until the moment when president biden leaves the oval office, that is, there were not even these discussions before, now these discussions have appeared, i still sincerely hope that this political decision will be made, but against the background of a lot of other military conflicts and the key one, apart from ukraine, is the near east, which

creates serious difficulties in the same direction. arseniy petrovych, we understand that soon... there will be elections in the united states, and the fate of not only ukraine, but also the european continent and the world will depend on it, in general, the security situation can change, and here it also depends on who will be the next president, whether it will be kamala harris, or whether it will be donald trump, who in his rhetoric and his statements is a very unpredictable person, so whether at the warsaw security forum it is also about this, whether the european union is currently planning to develop a possible. some kind of plan b in case the united states withdraws from russia's war against ukraine, and how is europe in general now waiting for the results of these elections, what is it preparing for? first, we we do not know who will be the president of the united states, secondly, ukraine can receive

support from the united states only with bipartisan support. i will remind you that if it were not for... republican votes in the congress, ukraine would not have received the last aid package of 61 billion dollars. there is a wing of the radical right, the so-called mager republicans, who do not support ukraine, but a significant part of the republican party, the republican party associated with reifan, supports ukraine. when we are talking about presidential elections, it is not possible to forget that at this moment there will be more than just the election of the president of the united states. elections to the house of representatives and to the senate of the united states, without the senate and without the house of representatives it is impossible to make any decision on aid to ukraine. as of today, we have the level of assistance until the end of the mandate of the president of the united states, joseph biden. and at biden's meeting with president zelensky, biden clearly

stated that he had instructed the pentagon to complete the allocation of all. which have already been voted to support ukraine, this is the one package of 61 billion dollars, which was voted in the current year. no one knows who will be the president of the united states, because it will be decided by the american people. the plan proposed by the candidate for vice president of the united states, dj vance, is absolutely unacceptable for ukraine, it is the vice presidential candidate of former president donald trump. this is the way to the capitulation of ukraine. and this path is not acceptable for ukraine. it is good that zelenskyy was able to meet with president biden, with vice president kamala harris, who is a candidate, running for presidency, and with former president trump. at least, this does not give any political camp the opportunity to accuse ukraine of meddling in the elections, or that

we will only cooperate with one political force. that's why we can be in the new one. reality after the 5th, more precisely after january 20, when the american president will be inaugurated, but my answer is very clear, without the united states of america it will be extremely difficult for us to win this war, i will put it another way, it is practically impossible win without the united states of america, and therefore the unity of europe and the united states is a prerequisite for our victory in this war. dear mr. prime minister, and at the same time, the united states is waiting for something extraordinary. powerful signals that would indicate that ukraine has very good mutual relations with its immediate neighbors and allies, primarily poland. so the security forum in warsaw, organized by the polawski foundation, continues for the second day, and accordingly, as far as i understand, you met with the minister of foreign affairs

radoslav sikorsky of poland, who is a great friend, a great friend of ukraine and a great supporter of mutual security cooperation, which, i repeat, is extremely awaited in washington too, i wanted to ask you what you talked about with the minister of foreign... affairs of poland and what is now on the real agenda of our mutual relations? yesterday i had the opportunity to meet at the presidential palace at a reception with the president of poland andriy duda, and today i had the opportunity to meet with our true ally and indeed, well, a prominent european diplomat, minister of foreign affairs radislav sikorskyi. i will say this, there was a lot of information in the ukrainian media. about the statements of polish foreign minister radysław sekorski, which seem to me to have been partially taken out of context, we can very easily look for enemies, it is much

more difficult to find friends, i consider the poles our friends, yes, we have unresolved historical problems, but we solved them then , when john paul ii said, forgive and be forgiven, and now it is necessary to decide the question of information, we, as in ukraine, should do. the first step, at least, this is my position, in order to have a higher moral strength, in relation to all our allies, including poland, and accordingly, poland should also immediately restore the memorial signs on ukrainian graves, this is our a dramatic past, and in this dramatic past, the tragic one must act in a christian way from two sides, and therefore i want to concentrate not on history. it is necessary to decide and bow our heads and make the reconciliation that we have already had two dozen times years ago, just to continue them, i want to concentrate on today and tomorrow,

because poland is our key ally in ukraine's membership in nato. poland is our key ally in ukraine's membership in the european union. poland, if you look at the volume of the gross domestic product, the volume of the economy and the funds that poland provided, well, it is in the first columns, if only everyone. were given, like poland, i am convinced that ukraine would have made its counterstrike a long time ago, that is why i greatly respect ukrainian-polish relations, and now the the bad smell that has appeared in our relationship from this or that, it must be destroyed, he, and we have all the strength for this, and we must look to tomorrow with respect for yesterday, dear mr. prem' hey, i'm just very good... i remember how much you did to improve ukrainian-polish relations in your position, so at one time i was a member of the public committee under the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine, which

was supposed to deal with ukrainian -polish relations, well, now it's a matter of institutional capacity, yes we understand that a lot was said, extremely important words were said publicly, an extremely large number of signals were sent, but the key story is those... people who will implement a very specific policy of cooperation between ukraine and poland, it is about, i don't know, what an additional intergovernmental cabinet, an agency and so on, which would at a certain level allow to synchronize all those processes and to solve, in principle, such technical things as exhumation, as for grave slabs in a working order, so we understand that now, in general, the question of life in ... country, returning us to our sovereign borders and so on, this is an extremely historic moment, a repetition may not

literally be there in six months, and i would ask you to tell me now, maybe you would see how a ukrainian politician, an experienced ukrainian politician, would real policy steps should now be implemented as soon as possible in order not just to improve, yes, but to make the forecast stable. we did not create any additional state authorities, any working groups, any institutions, it was a political will, the political will of the two presidents, the political will of the two prime ministers, and most importantly, the political will and desire of the polish and ukrainian people, and i don't want to go into technical details, because i know that if you want to say something... it is necessary to create a working group or some new ministry. we have already gone through the stages of reconciliation more than once. and now everything lies exclusively

in the plane. the desire of key politicians on both sides to solve this problem, and it has very clear approaches to the solution: to provide legal permission to ensure the appropriate procedures and receive from the polish side, accordingly, not just assurances, but actions that after ukraine granted the appropriate permissions, and we had already done so, a memorandum was even signed. 2022 with poland seems to be the 22nd year of the promotion of the restoration of these memorials , now it just needs to be done, it is necessary for president zelensky to meet with the prime minister of poland, president zelensky with the president of poland, our governments in our history, it just took a desire and action and not to enable our use. these

dramatic pages of history, because i know who the beneficiaries are, these are the beneficiaries in poland, these are the right-wing forces, anti-ukrainian forces, such as the confederation, the beneficiaries are russia, the beneficiaries are also possible radical elements in us in ukraine , and we should, on the contrary, demonstrate unity, that we are able to show the whole world that the ukrainian-polish union makes ukraine and poland stronger both in the eu and in nato, and that... everything is for ukraine to win in this just war. arseniy petrovych, finally, the prospect of ukraine's membership in the european union, we understand that we will find an understanding with the poles, i believe in it, but hungary, slovakia, countries that are now showing absolute loyalty to our enemy, to russia, they will put us in sticks in the wheels, will block the processes of our european integration. on the sidelines of the warsaw security forum, was the prospect

of ukrainian membership in the european union discussed. alliance and possible challenges that may appear on this way, i was just at the panel where the director of the ukrainian directorate of the european commission, the ambassador of the european union to ukraine was present, and we were just discussing the issue of ukraine's membership in the eu, and i am grateful to you for the question, because you now basically answered the issue of ukrainian-polish relations, there are already enough problems, hungary alone is enough, and here... the hungarian prime minister and his minister of foreign affairs, they will simply stand aside and say: you see, hungary is generally silent, it is ukraine did not decide their problems with the poles, so you can't give them these arguments. as for the opening of negotiations on the first chapter, we need to go into detail to conduct these negotiations, and the more we

will have internal unity with all countries. members of the eu, the less chance, for example, hungary has of preceding these victories, and we have already seen it more than once, when hungary found ways to bypass hungary's veto, in spite of both aid to ukraine and financial aid to ukraine, and in this case they will found these ways, we just have to constantly demonstrate progress, the only thing i will tell you, i said it yesterday at the panel, the number one priority for me is ukraine's membership in nato. ukraine's membership in the eu may take years, or it may take 10 years. in order for ukraine to become a member of the eu, ukraine must survive and win this war. and the shortest path and the most correct and realistic path will win this war. this is the provision of a security guarantee for ukraine through nato membership. and then the process of european integration will go much easier. and including in such countries as

hungary. there will be no arguments against ukrainian membership in...
