member of the european parliament from ireland claire, at a meeting with nato secretary general jens stoltenbergion people. these are the deaths for 2023. this was a response to stoltenberg’s words, that they are all advancing in their counter-offensive? this is not true, and you know this, a member of the european parliament told him. the demographic situation in the country is generally called catastrophic , firstly, tens and hundreds of thousands of young men who died at the front. secondly, from five to seven million ukrainians who left the country over the past year. these are mostly young women with children, and most of them do not intend to return. in addition, in ukraine there is a record low birth rate, and a record low, not only in the entire ukrainian history, the coefficient is 0.71. such low indicators, as stated in the ukrainian academy of sciences, have never been seen anywhere, moreover, the birth rate continues to decline; now the population of ukraine is no more than 29 million people in the ninety-first year there were 52 million. such an important indicator that the un consi

volodymyr, today jens stoltenberg hinted that ukraine could join nato in the event of a cessation of hostilities . are sure that this will really be a stop to the war, this means that being a framework of conditions that would ensure the security and territorial integrity of ukraine's borders , unconditional membership in nato is one of the ways to achieve this. well, considering our progress towards nato and the european union and well, in fact, we are standing on the threshold of these structures, how quickly he caught a cold, god knows, well, at least turkey has quite a lot of experience, er, it is meant at the time of joining the european union. what do you think, er, hmm, how will ukraine manage to pass these are all stages which we have to go through even before joining the european union and in relation to nato. well, of course, the end of the war is one of the conditions of the north atlantic alliance for the cessation of hostilities in ukraine, that is , the end of the war. how much time do you think we will need for this? for how quickly the armed forces of ukraine survived

will come out editing the results of ukraine’s counteroffensive today nato secretary general jens stoltenbergs are again and again exceeding expectations for the future. today, stoltenberg spoke before the european parliament. what stoltenberg said, we will hear more about at some point in history. we saw more mines on the battlefield than today in ukraine, so it was obvious that it would be extremely difficult , but the ukrainians are doing successes may not be as strong as we hoped, but they advance gradually by several hundred meters a day, that is, when the ukrainians advance, the russians lose ground and you must remember the starting point the point is that the russian army was the second strongest army in the world and now the russian army is the second strongest in ukraine, that is, yesterday anthony binken said that he was satisfied with the counteroffensive in ukraine today, jens stolpenberg, will this put an end to mr. pavlo in these from the discussions that very often appear on the pages of the western press, where unnamed sources in the pentagon, unnamed sources in the cia, and

here we are witnessing relations, and strategic and allied partnership, nato secretary general jens stoltenbergrkmenistan a key partner of the alliance in central asia loudly and an unexpected statement was made when the ambassador of turkmenistan to belgium presented his credentials from koltunberg. as head of mission. renata stoltenberg is not missed opportunities to test the waters regarding the possibility of strengthening alliances. under the caspian region, he expressed hope for expanding joint projects in the field. as it is called regional security, turkmenistan has recently become a subject of interest to various western structures due to its strategic location on the one hand. this is afghanistan's proximity to the possibility of using turkmen territory's infrastructure for afghan projects. on the other hand, this is the caspian region. whose geostrategic significance is becoming increasingly important, however , during the meeting, the ambassador of turkmenistan once again emphasized the key priority of ashgabat’s foreign policy, namely the permanent neutrality and defensive nature o

despite russian warnings jens stoltenberg, who went to kiev on an unannounced visit, said: nato has signedontract to supply weapons to ukraine. nato secretary general also said: ukraine is closer to nato than ever before. stoltenberg last week. he said that ukraine will not accept this country as a member until the end of the conflict. at the last nato summit , ukraine's allies refused to give a timetable for kyiv's accession to this military alliance. these positions of criticism have followed these positions of criticism of ukraine. the prime minister of sweden announced that the army will help the police to fight crime take ulf krisserson said he is talking with the chief of the armed forces and the head of the swedish national police about cooperation between the military and the police against gangs . sweden is the scene of almost daily shootings and bombings. renewed gang violence this month claimed the lives of 12 people, including teenagers and passers-by, across the country. last year, more than 60 people were killed in the shootings of this country in northern europe. the preside

jens stoltenberg promised to make efforts to increase such supplies and once again assured that ukrainee a full member of the north atlantic alliance. i'm sure we are we can continue to put pressure on the aggressor so that russia only retreats and loses, and this is the right tactic. we talked today about protection against. of russian terror, just the other day russian terrorists used more than 40 shaheeds and so almost every night in the conditions of such intense attacks against ukrainians, against our cities, our ports, which are important for global food security, we need a corresponding intensity of pressure on russia and a corresponding strengthening of our air shield the world must see how russian terror loses, so that ours is with you shared values ​​eventually won out. we have just had an important discussion on the next steps for nato support. after the vilnius summit in june, in july, we all agreed that ukraine would join nato, and three historic decisions were made to make it a reality. first, we've shortened your path to nato from two steps to one by removing the requirem

let's probably start with the last bright visits to kyiv, with, with your permission, vitaly, jen stoltenberg, the defense ministers of great britain, france, here in odesa, the head of european diplomacy , josep borel, obviously quite eloquently, if we take the context, then the forum of defense strategies, such a formal pretext for which they all were driving this is essentially a place where ukraine thinks with whom and how it will produce all that is necessary and in the future to protect itself, i think from this we will start talking with our guest , including dmytro snegiv, military expert, co-head of the public initiative rights business, congratulations mr. dmitry, congratulations, so let's talk with you about what can be expected from these visits, heads of military departments, european countries and the secretary general of nato to kyiv, how much, in principle, can we expect a breakthrough precisely from the point from the point of view of the development of the military-industrial complex, well, let's say that not only the development of the military-industrial complex, it is act

the security bloc�*s secretary general, jens stoltenberg, told members of the european parliament that suspected ukrainian drones near rostov—on—don. it's home to a key southern russia military base. meanwhile, a ukrainian drone targeted an industrial site, also in southern russia, setting a building on fire. this all comes as us secretary of state, antony blinken, wrapped up his second day visiting ukraine. blinken has pledged another billion—dollar aid package, including depleted uranium shells strong enough to pierce through tank armour, which are seen as controversial due to low amounts of radiation. i spoke earlier with retired us army lieutenant colonel alexander vindman. colonel vindman, the us announcing it will supply ukraine with these depleted uranium munitions — of course earlier this year, the us also supplying other controversial weapons, these cluster munitions. what do you make of these types of weapons being supplied to ukraine, is this the right move? thanks, carl, for having me on. you know, it's interesting that this is being described as controversial, because this

armed forces in this war . the un said the secretary general of the north atlantic alliance and jens stoltenbergrding to him, allies and partners must clearly show putin that he cannot tire them with war and continue to help ukraine in its just struggle for freedom, the head of the north atlantic alliance emphasized that he cannot predict the course of hostilities in the autumn-winter period, but added that the armed forces of ukraine must have everything in order to continue to develop the progress on the battlefield that has already been achieved, but most of all jenstotenberg says that now ukraine needs modern means against air defense that will help to protect its energy infrastructure in winter well, in this short interview, pien-stottenberg also said against reproaching all those who so you think that counteroffensive of ukraine advances too slowly he said that you do not know what a real war is well, indeed, the one who speaks, the one who criticizes is probably sitting in his chair and does not see this war only on tv, the king of great britain, charles the third, went to france to paris

vigilance, a rather streamlined formulation was heard today from the lips of nato secretary general jens stoltenbergthere it is worth recalling that fragments were allegedly discovered. some kind of unmanned aerial vehicle that fell, and then, of course , immediately. there were those who wanted to name this drone is russian and, of course, the kiev regime is especially trying. one of his information dumps believes that bucharest will literally show weakness if it does not recognize that the uav belongs to our armed forces, while other propagandists even call to classify what happened as a deliberate aggression by moscow against a state from the north atlantic alliance and are waiting for a reaction from the aforementioned stoltenberg. well , until the outbreak of the third world war. in fact, they don’t even hide the fact that it is in the hands of the collective west to drag the collective west into a direct conflict. they are itching, well, what comes out of all this is just a clumsy and, at the same time, extremely, ridiculous information campaign. and evgeniy will explain why. here, ukrainian p

today about the possibility of supplying such missiles, he said at a joint press conference with jens stoltenberg and volodymyr zelenskyi, let's listen to what the president of ukraine said. from our respective authorities and from partners that there is no fact of sale of iranian missiles to the russian federation. our services are in contact with partners and deal with this issue. well , actually, why are american analysts talking about the possible sale of these missiles to the russian federation, because in august. this year, the minister of defense of the russian federation, sergei shoigu, during the military exhibition in moscow, was at the stand of the iranians, who demonstrated the capabilities of such missiles, long-range missiles, in the second half of september , during a visit to tehran, shoigu discussed military cooperation in particular, as far as the countries , iran, north korea, who is there or in this axis of evil, well indirectly china, can help. the russian federation, endure this marathon that shaygu talked about until 2025, in which part they definitely can , shaheds 131, 13

to ukraine, glory to the heroes, eh, i will read here and there little by little what exactly jens stoltenbergd, what exactly the ukrainian president said at the press conference, and it is interesting that zelensky emphasized that so far we not we can consider the appearance of iranian missiles in russia as an absolute fact, let's go from this side, e. there is a version that russia can receive iranian ballistic missiles already after october 18, when the un resolution of 2015, which was part of the sanctions, expires in response to iran's nuclear program. what prospects, so not very pleasant for us, are there in the fact that russia will receive and use iranian missiles? well, this kind of ideological situation arises here, because on the one hand, we can't. threaten, cancel, deny the threat that the russians may at some point agree on iranian ballistic missiles, but in my opinion, that this will definitely happen after october 18, due to the fact that there is some un resolution that ceases to operate, well, in my opinion, this is too much the optimistic assumption of the analysts of the in

this the opinion was then confirmed by nato secretary general jens stoltenberg, and only now have polishts come to the conclusion that the missile could not have been launched from russia, and was probably ukrainian. this is reported by the polish media with reference to sources. officially, warsaw has not yet confirmed this information. russian missiles have also repeatedly violated. the airspace of moldova, on the night of september 25 this year , fragments of the s-300 missile could have fallen in the moldovan separatist region of transnistria. among other things, the russian army attacks with this type of weapon ukraine. and somewhere in that diameter. and here are some more tumblers, this is also from the rocket, right? uh, everyone. on september 18, on the black sea coast of bulgaria, wreckage of the drone, the ministry of defense of bulgaria assumed that it was connected with the war that russia started against ukraine. there are already cases of crashes, remnants of drones and other munitions on the territory of romania, and we have no reason to think that this war will bypass us

ukraine needs to strengthen its air defense in the face of enemy drone attacks, jens stoltenberg said during a meeting with the president of ukraine , volodymyr zelensky. the head of nato arrived in kyiv with an unannounced visit, the parties discussed the support of our country by western allies and the future of ukraine in the north atlantic alliance. the president emphasized that our defenders were successful are improving the tactics of using nato weapons in this war. well, kyiv also met a new minister today. of the defense of great britain by grant shaps. he also held meetings with the president of ukraine. during the meeting, the parties discussed the issue of strengthening ukrainian air defense on the eve of the winter period. they also noted the adoption by the group of seven of a joint declaration on support for ukraine. on behalf of his majesty's government, as the newly appointed defense secretary, i have the first opportunity to speak to you. i want to assure you that ukraine. remains at the forefront of our attention, we feel your pain for all that is happening, and we wi

a little earlier i did speak with the secretary—general of nato, jens stoltenberg to get his view onent biden had said here. it was an important message because it's about protecting the territorial and sovereignty of ukraine but it's not only about ukraine, it's about all nations because if we don't stand up for ukraine no nation in the world is safe. that was the main message from the president and i totally agree with him. he was very strong as well that this is the second year the gathering is meeting under the shadow of war. yet, the international community has appeared relatively powerless to stop that. many countries, more than 50 countries, are part of the us—led effort to provide an unprecedented level of military support ukraine. the uk, many other nato allies. this strong support to ukraine has enabled them to push back the russian invaders, to liberate the territory and conduct an offensive which is gaining ground. nobody knows how long the war will last but we have seen that ukraine has been able to make progress. not least because of the support from the international c

the security bloc�*s secretary general, jens stoltenberg, told members of the european parliament thatg through russian defence lines despite heavy fighting. the kremlin says its air defenses downed two suspected ukrainian drones near rostov 0n don. it's home to key southern russian military base. no casualties were reported. meanwhile, a ukrainian drone targeted an industrial site, also in southern russia, setting a building on fire but causing no injuries. it all comes as us secretary of state antony blinken wrapped up his second day visiting ukraine. blinken has pledged another billion—dollar aid package including depleted uranium shells strong enough to pierce through tank armour which are seen as controversial due to low amounts of radiation. i spoke earlier with retired us army lieutenant colonel alexander vindman. he was an expert on ukraine in former us president trump's national security council. the us announcing it will supply ukraine with these depleted uranium munitions. earlier this year the us also supply other controversial ovens, cluster munitions. what do you make of

defense ministers of france and great britain visited kyiv, as well as un secretary general jens stoltenbergked about ukraine's prospects regarding the supply of nato weapons to the territory of the ukrainian state. of course, there are results, we will talk about them with our guests , today we will have petro chernyk, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine in the reserve, and people's deputy of ukraine and former head of the security service of ukraine valentyn nalivaichenko on the air, we are not paying attention. and current events are unfolding on the crimean peninsula, the destruction of the military bases of the russian occupiers, the destruction of the headquarters of the black sea fleet of the russian federation, let's remember the commander of the black sea fleet of the russian federation, who for the third day they are trying to show from different angles on russian propaganda channels, to testify that he is so alive, with appeared alive today on the airwaves of russian television companies and ramzan ka who met with vladimir putin and swore his love to him. in short, russian pr

our event partners, in particular anthony blinkin recognized the success of the counter-part, jens stoltenberg, anyway, in your opinion, what would be the most profitable positions for entering the autumn-winter period if it is expected from him this year? yes last winter, there were terrible battles for bakhmut. there was also another situation, well, it was, as they say, the heart of the war at the time. what could happen this time, and again, if a successful successful approach to the sea of ​​azov takes place, how will it affect or on the contrary, please, it is interesting to hear your opinion on this matter. in fact, everyone is quite a difficult question. the fact is that such planning is not even sure that it is possible to give without the relevant information about it. it was two and a half minutes. let's say that what would be desirable before the autumn-winter period of what it was desirable to achieve, please. if so, then of course we are talking about the fact that it is necessary to achieve the exit of the cutting of the highway corridor and on the occupied ukrainian territory o

possible to achieve success in some areas, at the same time, the general secretary of nato and jens stoltenberg how he characterizes the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine, this is not a stalemate because the ukrainians are gaining momentum. i mean that they push back the russians again and again, they continue to gain positions in the south and east, we are ready for a long struggle not because we can accurately predict how long the war will last, because we need to make it clear that president putin cannot wait for us, and that is why we are ready for a long struggle, mr. colonel, when stolkerberg says that we are ready for a long he is talking about the fact that we are ready with weapons for a long-term struggle, can the west and nato and the western countries, can they speed up the ukrainian counteroffensive , because there is always a question of weapons, there is always a question of airplanes, there is always a question of long-range missiles, there is always there are a lot of issues that, in principle, well, probably the north atlantic alliance could solve much faster and

occasions, in particular, president volodymyr zelenskyi has already met with nato secretary general jens stoltenberg discussed the possibility of supplying additional air defense systems to ukraine. the situation with expected attacks was discussed separately. on the critical infrastructure of ukraine and in this connection discussed the possibility of supply additional air defense systems by member states. the secretary general agreed to make his efforts to help, to support us in this matter, to mobilize the member states of the alliance. in addition to stolteng, the ministers of defense of france and great britain also arrived in kyiv. this is where it's important, because the british defense minister, the british... defense minister will be in kyiv for the first time since his appointment, and this meeting has already taken place, we hope to hear about the accents that were raised there, well, i let me remind you that there is no reason to talk about the air defense system, namely the strengthening of our anti-aircraft defense capabilities, because according to our energy experts, the enemy has a

earlier, my colleague caitriona perry spoke to jens stoltenberg, the secretary general of nato, on theikelihood of that and on president biden�*s message of unity. it was a very important message because it is about protecting the territory and sovereignty of your cane but this is not only about ukraine, it is about all nations and the united nations because if we do not stand up for ukraine then no nation in the world is safe and that was a main message from the president and i totally agree with him. he was very strong as well that this is the second year that the gathering is meeting under the shadow of war. yet, the international community has appeared relatively powerless to stop that. well, many, many countries, more than 50 countries, are part of the us—led effort to provide unprecedented level of military support to ukraine, united kingdom, many other nato allies, and this strong support to ukraine has enabled them to push back the russian invaders, to liberate the territory and now also conducting an offensive which is gradually gaining ground. so, nobody knows how long this w

vitaliy, congratulations, rosslav, so let 's try to understand in general, nato secretary general jen stoltenberg says that who would not lead slovakia, he will support ukraine, from where. such optimism, well, the optimism is that slovakia , no matter what, is a european country that has chosen western civilization, will be part of the western club for almost 20 years, next year it will be 20 years since it is already a member of the european union, and for 20 years, she has been a member of nato , that is, she has anchored herself, slovakia in western structures, this is the first, the second is that this is a country that even in visegrad stands out because, for example, poland, the czech republic and hungary have its own currency units, and slovakia has had the euro for 14 years already, slovakia is also a member of schengen, so in the western club, as stolteng said, it will continue to sit at the table in nato, and no matter how pro-russian statements there are robert fitz there or other politicians, it is still a country, although by the way, it is younger than ukraine, i will remind you th
