secretary of defense lloyd austin said that the united states will continue to work hard to ensure that has sufficient capabilities to defend its territory and deter russian aggression in the long term. according to our defense minister rustem umerov, romshtein's main topics were the provision of ukraine anti-aircraft defense and missiles to. ammunition and equipment for new brigades and the strengthening of long-range capabilities, in particular through the financing of the ukrainian defense industry, in the final press conference, both lloyd austin and charles brown mentioned the kurdish direction, and this topic was actually the cornerstone of volodymyr zelenskyi’s speech at the beginning of the meeting in the ramshtein format , because actually kursk... the operation demonstrated to our partners that the ukrainian army can change the rules of the game on the battlefield, take the initiative in conditions, when it seems almost impossible, and knows how to act outside the norm, is able to carry out effective offensive actions based on its own training and modern weapons, the main thin

lloyd austin answered this question that he. answered, we will say on the air do not miss, well, alsowaiting for the press conference of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, based on the results of the meeting in ramstein, germany, where he was present. europe wants russian gas, azerbaijan acts as a mediator, and ukraine is ready for a dialogue, yes or no, whether the transit of block fuel from russia to the countries of the european union will be continued, and why austria insists that the pipe not be blocked, whether the enemy's offensive potential is really being exhausted the situation in the pokrovsk direction, how to counter the enemy drones intercept metal predators and also beat the enemy in the kharkiv region and the kurakhiv direction in detail at serhiy zgurets. there is subsidy money, denys shmehal told the deputies, they will not sit without the support of their families, who do not have enough for a living wage or a pension, will it be enough and is there anything to pay? terrorist sniper girkin is allegedly going straight from prison to the front, ukrainians h

some comments coming from the united states defence secretary, lloyd austin.e israeli defence minister yoav gallant, on friday, about events in lebanon. this is the pentagon quoting the defence secretary, mr austin. they go on to say, lloyd austin expressed full support for israel's right to defend itself against iranian backed terrorist groups. he stressed as well that the united states, though, is determined to prevent iran and iran backed partners and proxies from exploiting the situation or expanding the conflict. he said the united states remains postured to protect us forces and facilities in the region, and facilities in the region, and committed to the defence of israel. the right, then, for israel. the right, then, for israel to defend itself. but for some who take a counter view, the death of the hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah, a group which is back very strongly by iran, is a provocation, we are told. we have been reporting that israeli military have been attacking targets in the bekaa valley, detecting a rocket fired from lebanon. we don't know

what do you think of what lloyd austin said, the us secretary of defence?ring ukraine and it's call to allow ukrainians to strike deeper into russian territory with western weapons but there was no decision made on that. why do you think that is? the biden administration has been regularly intimidated by putin's threats of nuclear escalation, despite the fact that several kremlin redlines have been passed without anything happening. it is an unusual situation where america is self deterring because of kremlin threats. highly unlikely to be realised threats. what about other allies? european allies like germany? do you think they may turn the tide on that decision? i think that there is an axis of timidity with 0laf scholz and joe biden. they reinforce each other�*s not very sound instincts, that somehow russia is going to go nuclear when, in fact, there is very little chance of that. this is dangerous, more dangerous for russia than it is for us to escalate. i want to ask you about the political situation in kyiv as well because we saw ukraine's parliament

but i think if you look at what lloyd austin of the us officials have said they focused on the question of stopping russian error rates on ukraine that i launched when we saw attacks of the launch from fields. and the us position is being that those fields, the most part, all deeper inside russia. further beyond the 300 kilometer range that the attack comes miss. all systems that you great already has. if they which be used to get for some charge you would reach. i don't think they're saying there's no target within that 300 kilometers and that would be interesting. well, that would help ukraine's efforts on the battlefield pain cracking. they're just trying to shut this conversation down for now, and that is exactly what volume is zalinski, what's prevent. and as you heard that in that quote from him, he is all about trying to make the price of this war for when the russians tangible and to prevent russia going into a kind of cruise mode where it can continue this effort for years and years at a time where it seems like western countries might lose that impulse and that's kind of insti

since the us defense secretary lloyd austin, formed it in april 2022. and the 1st time that you're planning and president is attending, how significant is best at this time and the will. and uh, thank you for having a good day. of course, the, uh, the fact that the ukraine and president is visiting the meeting of the ukraine of defense control group in person is clearly sending a message to all of us to now lies that we are doing everything from our side. ukraine to us conduct the one in one on a kind and very bold operation on the treasurer of a nuclear power. uh the russian federation. and we are controlling the territory. refreshing for the ration for a month. and discharge rate is more than 1000 square kilometers as so yeah, of course. uh after that uh, we need to for our western allies to fulfill their words and to fulfill their promises on the packages of the help that a cranes critically need. we're talking about the air defense systems because fractions across interest attacks are only harder. spends this form for the last couple of weeks. and a

the cus is sending more military a to ukraine was $250000000.00. defend secretary lloyd austin, made the announcement in germany ways been hosting ukraine's president top commanders and there are lies at the realm she now base. domini came reports invalid for president zalinski friday. i'm in meetings with friends and allies to tell them what his forces have been doing and why, and to seek more alms with which to attack the russians. weapons he says, has been promised but not yet delivered. what do we see changes in the, in the, in the a tech on the song shadow and calls shortish on this size and coverage. and this applies even to our 2 or 3. we just have to fly by russia including frame. yeah, we think it is wrong that there are such steps. we need to have these long range capability, not only on the 2 by that there are 3 of the 3, but also on the russian tower. 3 ukrainian forces are already on russian territory following the cross border attack on the quarter school district last month. something zalinski says has succeeded, but which some military analysts have called high risk.

meanwhile, us secretary of defense lloyd austin told reporters the us had no prior knowledge of the attackhe conflict. i spoke by phone earlier with my counterpart in israel, minister gallant. the united states was not involved in israel's operation. we had no advance warning. despite mr netanyahu ignoring much of what america has wanted. first over gaza, now they believe he's making a mockery of the us�*s calls for a truce in lebanon. after his speech mr netanyahu's office released this picture of him here in new york giving the go—ahead for the strike on beirut. the snub to his american ally, which wants restraint, could hardly be stronger. tom bateman there. meanwhile, us secretary of defense lloyd austin told reporters the us had no prior knowledge of the attack, and urged both sides not to escalate the conflict. i spoke by phone earlier with my counterpart in israel, minister gallant. the united states was not involved in israel's operation. we had no advance warning. my call with mr gallant took place while the operation was actually already under way. what i will say is that, you ha

to mitigate ad over a broader middle east complex. meanwhile, us see that secretary of defense lloyd austin says that know out will between israel and has paula would be devastating is been speaking at the old address security lines missing in london. john hall has more on this to this was extensively a press conference following the 3rd annual meeting of the defense ministers of the lucas tri lack true military and defense partnership with inevitably of course, questioning to into the situation in the middle east. lloyd austin, the us secretary of defense cold and the situation 11 on deeply troubling. he said that while the us continues to work tirelessly to avoid another needless war, has paula has a choice, is ro and has bullock, can choose a diplomatic pause, is what do you have to say a diplomatic solution? not a military solution is the only way to ensure that displace civilians on both sides of the border can finally go back home. so i echo the call of president vice president mccrae and other leaders yesterday for an immediate 21 day seats far north. austin would not be drawn on que

special thanks to lloyd austin for his personal contribution to the work of the contact group on ukrainianfense issues. it is noteworthy that about the same recent meetings with the minister defense of france germany, umerov did not write a word. nemtsev did not publicly thank him for his promise. the police did not leave the criminal a chance to survive, he was hit by about ten bullets, no one else was injured during the shootout. it is already known that the attacker was 18 years old, he is a bosnian who recently arrived in germany from austria. his motives are still unknown. the authorities believe that the extremist's target was israeli diplomats, since today marks another anniversary of the 1972 terrorist attack at the munich olympics. police munchona believes that an extremist organization from the middle east is behind the incident, and they are currently trying to find its members by checking everyone with whom the criminal had contact. in france, after two months of political paralysis, due to the results of early parliamentary elections, the new prime minister is michel barnier,

states of their intention to strike at the very last moment, which greatly angered pentagon chief lloyd austin the same time , information appeared that the states could increase the number of troops in the middle east. currently, there are about 40 thousand american troops. israel wants to create a pretext for directly drawing the united states into the war, it is provoking iran and lebanon in every possible way. this opinion was expressed by sergey lavrov. he gave a press conference following his participation in the un general assembly session. our minister of foreign affairs spoke about how to prevent the escalation of the conflict. he also touched on other topics: the ukrainian crisis, russia's nuclear doctrine, dmitry kochitkov. let's take everything in order. russian diplomacy is making every effort to. israel wants to create a pretext for the united states has become directly involved in this war, and in order to create such a pretext, it is trying to provoke iran in every possible way, and also hezbollah, so the iranian leaders, it seems to me, are behaving extremely responsibly, and

moreover, us defense department lloyd austin said he does not believe that permission to strike with us weapons deep into russia will help ukraine. moreover, many american officials note that western missiles are very expensive, their number is limited to change the dynamics of the battles. let them fight, european governments should stop paying social benefits to ukrainians of draft age. living in their countries, said the polish foreign minister, specifying that this will help kiev increase the number of the ukrainian armed forces. according to him, european benefits for men of draft age harm the defense capability and economy of ukraine. the idea was naturally supported in kiev, where they once again stated that brussels' help was needed in the matter of returning ukrainians home. according to eurostat , more than 4 million ukrainians have temporary protection status in the eu countries, a quarter of them are adult men, and that's only... and also what the polish foreign minister said as a prankster, why the names of the winners of the international festival of youth for the union

side including two, at least some extent with defense secretary lloyd austin. why was just a bare-bones notification given moments before or minutes before the strike happened, that in and of itself is an excellent question, but given the u.s. efforts to get to a ceasefire, i think it's very simple to conclude that if israel gave us a much larger heads-up the u.s. would have pushed back and tried to consult on it and tried to steer them away from that and it doesn't seem like israel wanted that to happen so they gave just, just a little bit of notification. again, israel very clearly, i think has the advantage israel for years, decades, even had prepared for the possibility of war with hezbollah. so they had the plans, they had the intel and they're pushing that advantage. >> all right. oren liebermann for us in washington, dc. thank you for that reporting joining me now, former senior us intelligence official, norman roule, and also with us former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the middle east, danish roll, great to have both of you here with us. no

according to journalists, the military has already offered chief lloyd austin options for increasing the number of troops and weapons in the region. the minister of defense contacted joe biden on this issue, but there is no final decision yet. sergey lavrov called the murder of the hezbollah leader in beirut purely political and the reaction of the us authorities, who supported and justified this indicator. according to the head of the russian mfa, israel is acting. with the support of the states. both countries are well aware that this military action could provoke a major war in the middle east. lavrov drew a parallel with ukraine, which is also doing everything to involve nato in direct military action with russia. the main statements of the head of our mfa at the session of the un general assembly were heard by alexey veselovsky. in his programmatic speech from the un rostrum, the head of the russian mfa sergey lavrov devoted criticism of the western world order and attempts by countries to russia, journalists were already interested at the press conference whether moscow believe
