i'm honored that the president zelenskyy joined our session today. bringing with him the undaunted courage of his nation. ensuring insights on enhancing this group's support for ukraine. thank you to president zelenskyy and defense minister home rofb for leading ukraine in its military with character and honor. thank you to the ministers of defense, the chiefs of defense and national representatives from some 50 nations that meet nearly every month to organize our collective support for ukraine. while this is my first ukraine defense contact group as chairman of the joint chiefs, be assured that our mission, our objectives and our support for ukraine endures. the effort of this group extends beyond any single individual. it's a unified commitment from a coalition of nations. to date, this coalition fortifies our collective resolve to support a global system. where all nations are free to make their own choices, consistent with responsibilities under international law. the system has kept the world at peace since 1945. the year that saw the end of the

to zelenskyi, and did you receive any response from the office of the president of ukraine, is zelenskyiduled to meet with people's deputy of ukraine oleksiy honcharenko? yes, i officially appealed to president zelenskyi, i really want to meet, now i will tell you what and why , what topics i want to discuss, if i don’t have an answer yet, zelenskyi, i don’t know if he has already returned since yesterday, he was in spain, maybe he on the way apparently i didn't expect to know right now but will definitely report the results i do this is the first time i was elected to this parliament in the 19th year, yes, more than four years of my term of office, the first time i use this right, and i think that the president should meet with me, because once every four years you can find time and for the people's deputy who wants to meet, and the law allows me to do it, and as for what i want to talk about, i have to be honest, i want to say that i think we are in a very dangerous moment we're at, i think it's comparable to march 22, maybe? with at the end of february, but it can be compared with mar

i won't mention shurma, tatarov, yermakki, i'll just say zelenskyi's team.an people stop? well, we know, we are already seeing the first swallows, we also recently heard the statements of the president of lithuania ne useda , who said that corruption is one of the reasons for the slowdown in decision-making regarding aid, and this slowdown led to the fact that some countries, like slovakia, they have already held elections, made some kind of statement about slowing down in general, not just slowing down, but stopping, well, considering the position of the pro-russian government, which has won there now, we see that the policy of diplomacy and rudeness has led to a scandal in poland, and we are already hearing ambiguous statements from the polish side that they are there will stop making payments to ukrainian refugees, and of course there is a pressing issue, now not only about grain, it seems like it can be settled somehow, but in general there is the issue of aid to ukraine. it seems that that the western partners, pouring huge funds here, saw that no one t

tell me, please, how the presence of president zelenskyi, because it was the first time zelenskyi visited, and this format is a bit unusual, the ministers of defense, plus president zelenskyi, how the presence of zelenskyi affected the atmosphere at ramstein, and most importantly, how will the situation in the middle east be discussed at ramstein, whether you will participate. ramshtein is connected with two events that are happening in the world right now, the russian-ukrainian war and the war in israel , the state of israel against hamas, i congratulate you sergey, well, how did this long day in brussels end, long but productive, as you said , president volodymyr zelensky was present at the meeting, contact group in ramshtein format, no one expected that he would come, after all, half an hour before the start, before his arrival, no one knew this, i talked to people on the sidelines of nato and asked them, and they also, well, at least they told me that the security service did not tell anyone at all that there would be such a distinguished guest, now regarding your question, it was rea

visited ramstein, and this format is a bit unusual. the minister of defense plus president zelenskyii's presence affected the atmosphere at ramstein, and most importantly, how the situation in the middle east will be discussed at ramstein, whether ramstein participants connect two events that are currently happening in the world, the russian-ukrainian war and the war in israel, the state of israel against hamas? i congratulate you, serhiy, how did this long day in brussels end, long but productive, as you said, president volodymyr zelenskyy was present at the meeting of the contact group in the ram format. no one expected him to come after all, half an hour before the start, before he arrived, no one knew this, i talked to people on the sidelines of nato and asked them, and they also, well at least i was told that the security service did not tell anyone at all that there would be such a distinguished guest , now regarding your question, it was the appearance of president zelenskyi, as charles brown said at the press conference, that really motivated me very much. this is the new lea

all eyes were here on the ukrainian president zelenskyy. he has already left the country and is on the way back to ukraine. he came in with two key messages. just let you in on your antidote, a number of meetings. we know that. at the end of the session, a small number of journalists called into a room and we were able to ask questions directly. at one point we were able to ask , are you ready for that european union perhaps stepping back? he said, politics is never easy, it's not easy in the united states or continental europe. also, secondly, this goes into logistics and practicalities of war. he wants a winter plan. rumor, russia attacked their credible infrastructure. president zelenskyy says he wants to avoid that. they will furthermore need more defense. kriti: maria giving us more updates. in terms of budget physically and -- 7:00 a.m. u.k. time, the manufacturing sector, is germany coming from the manufacturing sector, maybe. that is why the data matters. we will have a live. the highlight of the morning is that u.s. payrolls report

volodymyr zelenskyi joined them for security reasons . were not confirmed until the last moment.k at the opening of the meeting immediately after the greeting from the host of the event , spanish prime minister petro sanchez. our colleague in brussels, olena abramovych, is monitoring the progress of the summit, she is in direct contact with us. olena, i congratulate you, please tell me what solutions are possible to expect from this meeting, well, actually, how did you meet the ukrainian president? good evening, colleagues, indeed, volodymyr zelenskyi to the last. his participation was not confirmed, but he was the first to arrive at the summit, well, after the host of the event, the spanish prime minister petro sanchez, and speaking briefly with journalists, he assured that he was not worried about news from the usa about unapproved financial aid, said that ukraine after a full-scale invasion generally does not live, but works, and that president biden assured him of 100 percent support, speaking about the priority of ukraine at this summit, zelskyi said that the need to maintai

where trump presidented se zelenskyy to launch an unfounded corruption probe of president biden. . >trump said, you know, that ukraine phone call, that was nothing compared to what i usually do. and he said, the ukraine phone call, that's nothing compared to what we normally talk about.

president zelenskyy said we're the only folks that can lead. and we cannot allow our political differences here, our political disputes here to keep us from delivering the aid that ukraine needs. we can't do it. and i think there are probably some people who thought when we left today that's what we were doing. i thought it was important for the leadership of the senate to put out a statement tonight -- senator schumer and senator mcconnell and several others on each side of the aisle -- underscoring that we are going to spend the next 45 days working together to pass a robust ukraine aid package, and i think that's vitally important. and i hope in a small way hopefully we all had the chance today to think again about how important this is, how important our leadership is, how important our or, you know, presence here as human beings is. we're not going to get another chance at this, i suspect, madam president. i suspect that we're going to have one chance, and that chance is is going to be 45 days from now. and this chamber, just like presiden

but zelenskyy's concern, momentum could be transitory without u.s.port. >> translator: i believe that today it is impossible to protect people, especially during the winter, except by air defense. to protect people who died absolutely tragically because of this inhuman terrorist attack. >> reporter: the brutal attack thursday, yet another object lesson in the ugly, crushing seesaw of war. not for the first time, russia has used precision missiles to target popular cafes in eastern ukraine, likely without adequate air defenses. not the last. well, in that european leaders meeting in spain, president zelenskyy will have heard a good deal of support. i was speaking with a senior european union politician and he said all the leaders within the european union are politically committed to continuing to support ukraine. they will continue to back zelenskyy, but the reality, and they recognize this, is that if the united states does become more isolationist, which is what they and what ukrainians worry about, then european union alone can not make you have t

the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi , published on his telegram channel data about the daily selector with security forces. in particular , he emphasized that he had a long meeting with the head of the gur kyril budanov. as the president wrote, i quote, there is much to tell about, but later. volodymyr zelenskyi also listened to intelligence reports and current results of sbu counter-intelligence activities. on the selector today was a report by the head of the sbu, regarding the actions of a collaborator are also meaningful, and in general there is something to thank our guys from the security service for today, important operations, and most importantly - effective, well done. the army of drones of the defense forces hit a record number of russian artillery last week, deputy prime minister for innovation, minister of digital transformation mykhailo fedorov said. in total, the russians have minus 220 units of equipment. in particular, the defense forces destroyed 33 thieves. tanks, 69 guns and 17 self-propelled artillery installations. before the onset of cold weather for th

good evening, vlasto, well, everyone learned that volodymyr zelenskyy is not even officially in brusselson his way here to the headquarters of the nato apartment, where he really is for the first time since the full-scale war between russia and ukraine, and today a meeting was held here in the ramstein format, already the 16th, but also. for the first time with the personal presence of a ukrainian president, moreover, against the background of another war that began in the middle east. speaking before the ministers, zelensky compared hamas, which attacked israel, which has long been recognized as a terrorist organization here, i mean the eu and the united states, with russia, more precisely, its president vladimir putin, and said that the similarity is that they are trying to keep free countries are being held hostage so that ukraine can continue to retaliate against russian troops, zelskyi said. a few things, it's air defense, long-range weapons, artillery, and the reduction of aid, he noted, carries the risk of the third world war. there are priorities, air defense systems, different i

anchor: our bureau chief in spain was asked whether president zelenskyy has succeeded in drumming upore than solidarity at the summit. correspondent: well at least he is not going back home empty-handed. spain the host of this summit announced they are ready to provide ukraine with new air defense and anti-drone missiles to protect the country's infrastructure and harbors, and germany as you mentioned is ready to deploy an additional patriot system to ukraine. and to protect this way to protect ukrainian citizens from russian attacks and why is it crucial? we have just seen today. in his meetings on the sidelines of the summit president zelenskyy was reassured by european partners again and again that you is ready to stand along side ukraine as long as necessary but will that be enough if the u.s. are going to reduce their help with the presidential election campaign about to start soon? probably not. that is what we heard from the eu foreign policy chief joseph burrell who said europe is ready to increase its support but cannot replace the u.s. for the financial and military support

zelenskyy said that ukraine's victory depends on the support of europe. catherine has this. >> a historic summit, eu foreign ministers gather in kyiv at their first meeting outside eu borders. policy chief joseph burrell pledged a new aid package, throwing his support behind ukraine's application for membership. >> i propose a new bilateral -- of up to 5 billion for the next year, the strongest package that we can give to ukraine is european union membership. >> polansky said the length of the war will depend entirely on support received from allies. >> victory director depends on our cooperation. the stronger and more visible steps we take together, the sooner this war will end. >> they called on the eu to back his initiative for a regular black sea maritime corridor and resolutions over brain deliveries. -- brain deliveries. >> we -- once we hear into the security of this corridor, it will be able to work at full capacity. >> western military assistance has been vital for ukraine, but cracks are beginning to show on both sides of the atlantic, as politi

when president zelenskyi speaks at the un general assembly about the fact that we have neighbors, we neighbors, but there are... there are our allies, without naming anyone, moreover, yes, which, as it were cooperate, repeat moscow's steps, what will we get in return, poland's answer, yes, so you consider us to be moscow's allies, so we are blocking your payments to your citizens, refugees, we are closing the transport corridor because our interests in the framework of the elections taking place now in poland are more important than our geopolitical situation. and even the war that russia started, or maybe volodymyr zelenskyy is conducting war diplomacy, he already openly states that this is not diplomacy, he is diplomacy, it is something else, but he, he emphasizes justice and he is right, that is, in our perspective, the diplomacy of justice must continue to work, but poland thinks in a different perspective, and its own interests, that is, when we had the opportunity to transport our grain through poland to the ports of kdansk and kdyni, from where they were already leaving. on sh

president zelenskyy: hraepbg, i'm glad to address you. first of all, i would like to mention the terrible natural disaster that happened this fall on 8 october. it was one month in morocco that claimed the lives of many people, destroyed homes and left children parentless. my condolences to all those who lost their loved ones and my gratitude to all those who helped people escape that disaster. no one can stop the natural events that happened on the planet. but we all have to make sure that the evil element of human nature does not destroy lives and leave ruins. and we must cooperate from destruction every nation against which the gate of terror or aggression have been opened. i thank everyone who is helping ukraine defend itself from russia's unprovoked and brutal aggression and i thank all those assisting in the rebuilding of ukraine after attacks from russian artillery and missiles and iranian killer drones. almost 3,000 iranian drones were used against us. ukrainians will always be grateful turnover leader and every nation that suppor

it is shameful on the heels of that visit after looking president zelenskyy in the eye and promising to stand with him, our house colleagues decided to strip all ukraine funding from their continuing resolution. that decision contradicts the will of the majority of congress and the american people. and it breaks faith with the people of ukraine, who are in a battle to preserve their nation and their lives and their battle is our battle. their battle against unprovoked aggression by putin against a democratic neighbor is a battle that we must assure they can win because he won't stop there. mr. president, we can't allow the opposite -- we can't allow a few members of the house to force a cruel deal on the people who least deserve it, the ukrainian people. this conflict matters not just to ukraine, but to our own security here. it's clear that if putin succeeds in ukraine, he will not stop. he made this clear years ago when he talked about that his mission in life, his sole, overwhelming preoccupation was to recreate the russian empire. the baltics, poland -- parts of poland, moldova,

what does zelenskyi say? he is talking about the fact that he opposes the temporary truce, we are only delaying the detonation, said president zelensky. i will quote the president of ukraine. for us, that would mean leaving that wound open for future generations. perhaps this will calm some people inside our country and outside, at least those who want to finish the case at any cost. but it's a problem for me because we're left with this explosive power. we only delay him where. tone, zelenskyi said, regarding the temporary truce. we understand, mr. colonel, that the resources that russia now possesses, meaning weapons, the stocks that they had, that they have accumulated for this war, and human resources, they outweigh the resources that we now own, in what way, in your opinion, this situation should develop, history in order for us to achieve victory and you, but the russians from our land, and without this temporary truce, about which zelensky was asked by americans, journalists and with the resources we h

he added that the ministers discussed president zelenskyi's peace plan to garner more support.ics of the agenda of the meeting were , in particular, ukraine's integration into the european union. we will implement the seven recommendations that were in

zelenskyy. what we've seen in the american media is classic hollywood style myth making portraying the leader as modern-day david taking on russian goliath. this is part of the pitch for endless spending. we keep printing or borrowing money. far from reality, according to time magazine expose on zelenskyy. we sent weaponry, ammo, tanks and training f-16 pilots, but it is not enough. member of zelenskyy's team telling that zelenskyy feels betrayed by his western allies and you're at home struggling to fill your car with gas or buy groceries every week, rest easy knowing ukrainian oligarchs are living large. time continues,a midpressure to root out corruption, the writer assumed officials in ukraine would think twice before taking a bribe or pocketing state fund. i made this point in early october, he asked me to turn off my audio recorder so he could speak more freely. people are stealing like there is no tomorrow, he said. the bigger concern might be zelenskyy's current state of mind, his belief

yes, congratulations, hello, today volodymyr zelenskyi visited both kherson and mykolaiv, and first of all he came to kherson, because the last few weeks there is an extremely tense situation in this place, russian troops are working around the clock every day both the city and the region are shelled. from various types of weapons, in particular they also use guided aerial bombs that are dropped on civilian infrastructure, and in particular in kherson, volodymyr zelenskyi had a meeting with the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny, as well as the chief of the general staff and other commanders, and they discussed the situation at the front , first of all, they talked about the situation in the avdiyiv region and kherson region, and so far... what about these reports that are heard from time to time in the press that the armed forces of ukraine moved to the left bank of the dnieper, the president does not comment, but he adds that in general there are such positive steps on the battlefield, i ask for a direct speech, i would like us to get a result on the ba

so, by the way, during his visit to europe, where volodymyr zelenskyi took part in ramstein, he alsod to journalists and there he said that the war in ukraine is now in the final stage, he says, from now on the final stage, but it is the most difficult . first, it was necessary to prevent the enemy... advance deep into the territories, then de-occupy the territories there, well, part which we managed, and now it is the final stage , do you agree, well, let's not agree, let's not try to argue with the president, but do you really feel that the war is in the final stage, well, it is already clear, it is unlikely that the russians will be able to take any serious offensive actions, so that they do not talk about kupinsk, about avdiivka. no matter how hard they try, they are not capable , at least the forces and means they have now cannot guarantee them any significant advances, local victories possible, but it still looks more like the battles they are conducting to draw our forces away from the southern direction, that is, it can be considered that now the russians have become, well, a

on for 10 years, the president is very correctly emphasized, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi held a meeting on security and life activities in the region in mykolaiv, the leaders of the region and the city informed the head of state about the situation with the restoration of water and gas supply in the de-occupied settlements of the region, as well as: in general, about the preparation for the heating season. the military reported on the security situation in the black sea. the president also visited the wounded soldiers in the hospital, talked with the defenders and presented them with awards. a mine was brought to the beach in the odesa region, it was discovered in the bay chornomorska due to the storm , other explosive objects can also get attached to the shore, - noted the mayor of the city, vasyl gulyaev. the sappers are working, but anything can happen, so i ask the residents and guests of the city to move away from the beach, i ask the residents of the city, whose apartments are nearby, on the advice of the sappers, to open the windows a little for ventilation, well,

ukrainian president zelenskyi attended the ramstein meeting live for the first time and is returning from brussels not empty-handed. the main results of the meeting between zelenskyi and the defense ministers of ukraine's allies will be described below. and the security service of ukraine suspects two native brothers of firing on the village of groza in kharkiv oblast. he said that after the de-occupation of the region, they fled to of russia, and during the occupation, cooperated with the russian military, what is known about them. if you haven't subscribed to radio svoboda's youtube channel yet. do that, and also write us where you're watching us from, for that there are comments in the chat below the broadcast. the ukrainian military repelled more than 30 attacks by the russian army in the area of ​​the village of senkivka and. ivanivka of the kupyan district, the general staff of ukraine reports. according to the head of the press service of the eastern group of troops, ilyi vlash, it is near these settlements that the russian army is now emphasizing its attention, transferring t

president zelenskyi will find out in what way ukraine will be able to reach those who need it.r of the house of representatives, who b it was not, in the end he should listen to the president. states, because even when the united states gravitated toward isolationism, even when our first president, george washington, advised americans to avoid, as he called it, foreign ties, the united states always had an inherent idealistic motivation, which was the idea that the united states would do a world safe for democracy. i think these trends will persist in american politics and will persist as long as you and the audience watching the politics of the united states. regarding the lease, it is impossible to pedal this issue now, since the house of representatives cannot meet and engage in official business, since it does not have a speaker. only when a new speaker is elected will the house of representatives return to business and the speaker will control which motions or bills can be brought up for a vote. so, if the speaker is the gentleman zohayu i mentioned. jim jordan, i do n't t

that this is not the middle of the war, it is the last stage of the war, according to president zelenskyi, well, he has more information, i’m just quoting his words, i don’t want any comment, because i cannot comment on the words of the supreme commander-in-chief, the president, this is his statement, but this one, these words about the elections are very interesting, that if the war continued and elections were held in our country during the war, although the law expressly forbids it. conducting national elections of the president or verkhovna rada of ukraine during the war, as well as elections of local councils, regional councils, and local councils, is prohibited by law, but of course certain changes can be made to the law. before that, there was information that allegedly our western partners are demanding elections, but ukrainians do not want elections. the razumkov center is a respectable structure, quite a respectable structure, in fact, i am not being ironic at all, i respect these people, they are trying... still measure the temperature in the state, the average, yes, they don’t

president zelenskyy came to this very building two weeks ago to ask for our support. he received overwhelming bipartisan promises from members of both the senate and the house. of course, i was proud to pledge my support and i know nearly all of my senate colleagues, also. it's shameful that on the heels of that visit after looking president zelenskyy in the eye and promising to stand with him, our house colleagues decided to strip all ukraine funding from their continuing resolution. that decision contradicts the will of the majority of congress and the american people. and it breaks faith with the people of ukraine who are in a battle to preserve their nation and their lives and their battle is our battle. their battle against unprovoked aggression by putin against the democratic neighbor is a battle that we must assure they can win. because he won't stop there. mr. president, we can't allow the few for the deal for the ukrainian people. as i said, this matters not just to ukraine, but to our own security here at home. it's clear that if putin succeeds in ukraine, h

president zelenskyy saying nothing will weaken the country's fight against russia. for its part, the europe union's policy chief says the bloc will increase its military support to ukraine. and joseph borrow says he hopes the u.s. will eventually do the same. >> to tell the truth, the fact that the last minute, it has taken a decision that we have to regret deeply. i have a hope that this will not be the definite decision, and ukraine will continue to have the support of the u.s. >> we are joined now live from london. good morning. what has been the reaction in ukraine, the u.s. funding not yet being approved by congress? >> rosemary, it sparked concern and it also sparked concern within ukraine, international support for the ukrainian government particularly from the united states has proven crucial since the beginning of russia's invasion of ukraine. we have heard those repeated warnings for president zelenskyy that a drop in international support could have severe consequences for the war effort. in fact, we saw president zelenskyy meeting with president biden in

during this approach to journalists, volodymyr zelenskyy himself said that it was an almost last-minute decision to come here, and his coming just in time indicates that something very important and productive should be decided at this meeting, how about you, oksana said, first. literally in half an hour, even less, there will be a meeting of the contact group in the ramstein format, we saw an hour ago how the secretary of defense of the united states of america, lloyd austin, and at the press conference itself, there were still questions to the secretary general of nato jenes stolteng and the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky, about what to expect in the end from this meeting, whether they will give us, well, we are all interested, will they give us planes, the answer about the planes was that, uncertain, the secretary general said that first of all we need to focus on helping ukraine to protect its own people. obviously, he was talking about anti-aircraft defense and about artillery, which nato is a little short of now, and they want to increase the production of these weapons,

volodymyr zelenskyi.lis themselves, the israeli journalists who were with us in ukraine, were in buchik. now that they saw the same evil where russia came, the same evil, and the only difference is that there is a terrorist organization that attacked israel, and here it is a terrorist state that attacked ukraine, the declared intentions are different, but the essence is the same. in social networks, many ukrainians reproach israel for its neutrality against the background of russia's war against ukraine. some people in social networks criticize that israel did not provide military aid to ukraine. about which she repeatedly asked many times, in particular for an iron dome to cover the sky from russian missiles and drones. recently, it even came to the point of suspicion, whether israel sometimes passes on information to russia from the meetings of ramshtein, in which it itself participates, but provides almost no military aid to ukraine. but there are parallels: russia attacked ukraine, hamas attacked isra

president zelenskyy is relying on other leaders to step up as the u.s.threatened by the political people in congress we're seeing this play out. how are european leaders responding to this? >> well, i think there's definitely a very real sense of anxiety, pamela. we saw president zelenskyy in granada, in spain, today, meeting with european leaders. he was trying to put a brave face on it, essentially saying, you know, a lot of work needs to be done. but believing that the support will continue, that bipartisan support will continue. but privately, i think you hear more and more european leaders starting to give voice to the possibility that their populations may be becoming increasingly disenchanted with the very large check that many of these countries are having to write. we heard from the italian prime minister giorgia meloni who said we're in lockstep steadfast with ukraine, but we have to be reminded of support and issues that have risen on the back of ukraine, such as migration and s energy crisis is having an effect on all people. i think it's fai

to focus more on internal problems , to focus more on putting the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, at the negotiating table with the president of the country of terrorists, vladimir putin, and that is how to end the war, yesterday in on the sidelines, we did not hear such a thing, they talked about negotiations, but they emphasized that these negotiations can only take place after ukraine gains weight, does something on the battlefield, that is, drives the aggressor to the borders, only after that can we sit down at the table negotiations very interestingly, the secretary of defense, united states of america, lloyd austin, said yesterday, a phrase that i remember, he said it twice, once at one press conference, once at the second press conference, that putin wanted to demoralize the ukrainians, but after all he is demoralized his own army. and nato will exert, nato allies will exert maximum efforts in order to further demoralize and ultimately help ukraine to defeat the aggressor. and on the sidelines, they also talked about the fact that, well, about missiles, we were all wonderi

now you are seeing the cover of time, on which ukrainian president zelenskyy speaks not for the first title. no one believes in victory, like me, who should convey the ukrainian president's belief in victory, a small photo of zelsky, who stands half-side by himself, on a dark background and a signature highlighted in white, sam... the struggle of president zelenskyi. actually, one of the points on which the author of the material focuses attention concerns the world's weariness from the war in ukraine. for example, even zelsky's last visit to the usa in september shows that his performance was not as impressive as it once was. the reason for this could be fatigue. but zelensky himself notes the half-time, understands that the allies' interest in the war has decreased. the worst thing is that part of the world is used to the war in ukraine. war fatigue is rolling in like a wave, you see it in the united states, in europe and we see that once they start to get a little tired it becomes like a show for them. i can't watch this rerun at ten. apparently, president zelski's entourage told a

president volodymyr zelenskyy held a meeting on security and life activities in the region in mykolaivd the city informed the head of state about the situation with the restoration of water and gas supply in the de-occupied settlements, as well as in general about the preparation for the heating season. the military reported on the security situation in the black sea, too.

during this online meeting, the peace formula from president zelenskyi, in particular, about the returnf all people held hostage by the russian federation, abducted children and soldiers from captivity. the ukrainian shoemaker also said that the qatari ambassador will personally work in kyiv in the near future, including the return of ukrainians. earlier, president zelensky had an online meeting with the emir of qatar, in which he also thanked for help in this matter. the qatari side, i would like to remind you, supports ukraine in the return of civilian hostages, prisoners of war and children. recently for assistance of qatar, as mr. lubinets noted, four children were able to be removed from the territory of russia, and now they are already with their relatives. dmytro lubinets, whom we mentioned as the verkhovna rada's human rights representative, is joining our broadcast right now. i welcome you. good day, studio, good day, ukraine. thank you for taking the time and opportunity. mr. dmytro, why is it the state of qatar and how did it happen that it essentially acts as a mediator. in

i managed to tell in this news release, now we will listen to the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, following the results of his meeting with the leaders of the countries of the european union, which took place in granada, we are watching and listening. removes any russian thief missiles. thanks, one more question. and have you been reassured by what you have heard from the west leaders today? how to say, are we ready or not, what, what way out, we have, we don't have, and we are not trying to find something, we are trying to defend, defend our country and we'll do it , and i'm not hoping, i'm sure that we will win, because again, we don't have another way, how to defend our country and how to live, and this is our land, our people. our children and we and i'm thankful to our army and of course to will do it, and that's why we are fighting, and we are not losing our motivation, that's why, all the people, people.
