mandate, because he is now defending ukraine in the general staff, our quota in the national security and defense committeerding the first deputy of this committee, is free today, and our faction delegated our representative, iryna freeze for the position of first deputy chairman of the national security and defense committee, and what we see, well, double standards as always, when the chairman of the national security and defense committee, for some reason, writes his proposals on this matter. and the decision of european solidarity is not considered in the committee of regulations and is not brought to the hall, i will also remind our demand to the chairman of the verkhovna rada, which was supported by all factions, to vote today on the resolution, supported by the committee on humanitarian policy, regarding the commemoration of three fallen people's deputies , and therefore, we ask you to add irina fries as the first representative, i apologize, i... i have no information whether all the resolutions have already passed the necessary committees and whether there are decisions on them, i say once again, i

national defense security committee, the only problem is that the members of the committee on national defense, the deputy chairman of the committee, she gives out such ridiculous things, i don't understand why andwant to talk and argue with her about it at all, the only thing i know is that a person of this caliber cannot have such a status, and that's why we proposed to register the draft resolution itself, for the post of deputy chairman of the committee on national security and defense to be a professional, professional person who is actually ready to bear such a serious responsibility, unfortunately, even such a bill of ours is not registered, although i think that it is for you as well it's not a secret, and insiders say that they are already collecting signatures for the exclusion of this one in the service of the people. well, because it seems to me that when she started telling her colleagues in the faction that in my opinion a seven-month-old child should go to fight there, well, i don't want to get involved in these things, because it, it's not worth it. this is not the problem that is important for ukraine today, well, someone is promoting something on the internet, well, well, this,

, some kind of strange activity, we understand , that the issue, well , the national committee on national security and defense, this is a very, very specific committee that requires extremely. high discipline of the deputy, yes, if the deputy, well, so to speak, in search of a chip or some there, i don't know, there is a desire to attract attention to himself or to ask some more pressing questions, well, a natural doubt arises, yes, whether he will be able, so to speak, to perform all the secret functions that are connected with the relevant committee, i think that rather of all, well, such a sharp reaction on the part of the deputies of european solidarity was caused, well, let's skip the so-called... emotional moment , yes, that is, iryna gerashchenko really gives very specific statistics there, i can give a few more examples, at least one definitely falls in my opinion, a few months ago , marryana bezugla noted in one of her posts that the so-called, well, that is, part of ukrainian society, she calls it dustmen, and deserves the same participation as the russians, but i missed something. and no, i didn’t

integrity, inviolability, and security of ukraine according to the budapest memorandum, they remember this, by the way, at the level of the committee on national security, defense and intelligence, discussions are also taking place with our partners in the united states of america, recently there was a delegation, and it's included politicians and former military and former cia chiefs, and they understand the level of their responsibility, and i think , you know, the domestic political course that the united states of america is taking today, which is bipartisan and bicameral support, with a small, or rather , in the senate we have, well, a much higher level of support than in the house of representatives, but at the same time, both there and there, the level of support for ukraine is very high and even among of the republican party, we have a very clear such coalition, which is included in this freedom caucus and they continue to convince and even under... after these situations with the shakedown took place, a commercial was launched on the channels of the united states of america, which convinces that the war in ukraine is a war for those values ​​that are t

the vru committee on national security, defense and intelligence tasked the committee of ministers toy resolve the issue. the verkhovna rada adopted a resolution, there is even a position of the president's office, yes, who say that mr. shmyhal, we need to figure it out somehow, this is not working, well, yes, you know, but we are adults, we grown people, the president's office, the committee of the verkhovna rada, the ministry, are helpless against some young lady? ugh, what is this, who is the roof for this lady? a good rhetorical question, well, let's hope that as a result of today's meeting of the stake, certain specific decisions will be made, that is, if this issue was heard, well, this is what is meant by this cluster of defense and production, well, let's hope for a quick decision, you wanted, you understand , this is nonsense, when in order to help the military and defense complex of the country, public publicity is needed. i don’t understand this, it means that the state machine is not something that skids and limps , it means that someone is inserting not just sticks into t

on the hour. we come back and now join our conversation roman kostenko, people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the verkhovna rada's committee on of national security, defense intelligence, colonel of the security service of ukraine. glory to ukraine, mr. roman. glory to the heroes, have a good day. what, the ministry of defense is being formed, and we already have three new deputies, mr. umyerov, ivan gavrylyuk, who previously coordinated aid from germany, was the deputy chief of the general staff, the deputy for the institute. of development stavnislav hayder , who previously managed the digital transformation at zk, is also a difficult job, and the third of the new deputies, dmytro klimenkov, who was previously the commercial director of at-ukrtrans-gas, all these three persons were in responsible positions, where it was possible to show their qualities and many things, in fact, to gain a lot of experience, whether this experience and this knowledge will be enough and whether they will give results, if they are actually applied to the new positions of the deputy minister defense of ukraine during the war? well, we will see this only during their work, un

and you for the information you told us, i will remind you, it was dmytro nopchenko from washingto tagor chernev, people's deputy, deputy chairman of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defense and intelligence and chairman of the permanent ukrainian delegations in the nato parliamentary assembly. and before the events on the battlefield, the enemy continues to suffer heavy losses near avdiivka in donetsk region since the beginning of its offensive on october 10 on the city and in general in the avdiivka and marin directions, russia has already lost more than 5,000 soldiers killed and wounded such data was provided by the spokesman of the defense forces of the tauri region oleksandr shtupun. he noted that near avdiivka , the russians are still attacking, mostly infantry. russia also suffers losses in technology. near avdiyivka, the ukrainian defenders managed to destroy up to 200 vehicles, bmps, tanks and armored personnel carriers in just 10 days, and despite all the efforts of the russians to break through the defenses, the armed forces of ukraine firmly holds the shield. one of the hottest spots on the front is the serbian forest in the luhansk region, our stanislav kukha

voted for, against, how, how do you consider all these fb activities and polls from a member of the committee on national security and defensell, you know, i would, yes, i would not like to comment at all on the initiatives of my colleagues, in everyone has their own understanding of what is right and what is wrong, i have my own, and in this case it does not quite match the survey, to put it mildly, that was conducted, ma'am. uh, well, i'll allow myself a little more criticism, because i only really paid attention to this survey when already my assistants wrote to me that this is almost 161 articles of the criminal code of ukraine and about inciting enmity on various grounds, and that this is a completely russian narrative and we understand it, yes, that is, it is not news for anyone in the 33 years of independence that the entire supreme council should be blown up, killed, shot, there and so on, and so on, but mariana knows very well, in fact, that this is an institution... which is the main one in ukraine, and for me it is very strange, so sociological, strange , the strange cut she spends in himself in a bubble, and the

idea , the representative of the president in the verkhovna rada, a member of the committee on national security and defense, fedir venislavskyi, reported on this, quoting venislavskyi, the bbc wrote about it. so, according to venislavskyi , he and his colleagues on the committee planned to register a bill that would deal with that those who counted the territory. who did not return to ukraine during martial law may receive a criminal penalty. direct speech of the president's representative in the verkhovna rada. i was sincerely convinced that it could be. then, when i began to understand that in this way we can not only stimulate the return, we can cut off the desire to return to ukraine altogether, that 's the story, well, venislavsky assures that this idea will not be implemented in the near future, well, we'll wait, we'll see , well, they still have it quite a lot of time, similar to the probable return of people from abroad, to make this or that decision, now we will talk about kherson oblast, roman golovnia, deputy mayor of kherson, head of the kherson hub project, in touch with us. glory to ukraine,

situation at the front, and our broadcast is joined by roman kostenko, people's deputy of ukraine from the voices faction, secretary of the committee on national security, defensence, roman, good evening, how can you hear me, good evening, studio, i can hear you well, good, thank you for joining, roman, so a few weeks ago, the russian army actually strengthened such a position of the armed forces near avdiyivka, and here is general syrskyi reports that there is special activity in the kupyansk district, where the russian... are trying to advance in several directions at once, also says that in the bakhmut district they have substantially strengthened their grouping and moved from defense to active actions, which this shows and how can will the front develop in the near future? well, first of all, this indicates that the enemy did not abandon its strategic goals, there were many of them, there was denazification, demilitarization, liberation of the so-called lpr, dnr, the capture of ukraine, yes. many of these goals have not been achieved from the very beginning, thanks to the defense forces of ukraine, but they need some kind of victory, they are now looking fo

and gender. the vsushniks also do not have the resources to achieve all their goals, as they believe, a half-dead counterattack. the secretary of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defensentelligence, roman kostenko, complained about this in a tearful interview with the german pac. they say that ukraine was not even able to equip all the brigades with the delivered equipment; it is impossible to win. at best, just hold the line, all supposedly because the army is running out of long-range missiles and ammunition to multiple launch rocket systems and cannon artillery, and last night and early in the morning the russian aerospace forces launched uav and missile strikes against enemy targets in konstantinovka, kramatorsk, dnepropetrovsk, as well as at the mirgorod airfield, in poltava and starokonstantinov in the khmelnytsky region. footage about on your screens, infrastructure facilities are struck, covering the runways, which ukraine is already preparing for western f-16 fighters, kiev thugs and russian artillerymen are smashing. on in these footage from the kupinsky direction , paratroopers destroy a foot column of twenty militants with heavy hits from a d-20 howitzer,

chairman of the federation council matuenko, together with members of the defense and security committee, visited the national, they are in such a pleasant shock, because they realized that you are right, russia’s potential is not comparable to what ukraine, all of western europe, and even the americans will change even now, and i think that when such meetings, this shows that we are confident in our victory, and i think that all this spending of the americans, which now, as you said, is forgotten by the old old ruklets, that’s right, they are trying to inflict. for maximum damage, you know, i think we calmly, step by step, we will grind and move towards our goals. in my opinion, this is the goal of destroying this regime, no less, no less, no less, i do not agree. andronik, you know, i think that indeed, very serious shifts are taking place today in public consciousness and in the united states, well, for example , yesterday i read, 71% of the republican party electorate is against giving even a penny and taking some part in all this, what is happening to ukraine. also, of course, dare-liberals, this attitud

secretary austin and i believe it is important to be here together, because of what so much we do to ensure our national security is that defense and diplomacy must work hand in hand. >> committee will suspend and again, i appreciate that people feel passionately about these issue, and i would ask that you respect our witnesses and the committee members and allow the american people to hear their testimony, and we will pause until the vroom is cleared. >> 3,500 kids dead. i'm an army colonel and former diplomat and resided in that war in iraq that you talk about and it is a ter rinlrible thing, ant we are doing to support the war in israel against gaza is a terrible thing, too. >>> you may continue. >> and the president's funding proposal has four key elements. it supports israel and ukraine, two democracies under brutal assault with two people determined to wipe them off of the map. and it will build up security and intelligence support that the united states has surged since the appalling slaughter. and i know that several -- >> committee will suspend and i again ask that those in the audience respect the people in the room, and allow us to continue to hearing. the hearing is

appropriations committee hears testimony from the secretary of defense and the secretary of state on president biden's emergency supplemental request sent to congress to address the national securityeats happening around the world. the right path forward for congress is clear. we must stand with our allies in israel. we must send humanitarian aid to innocent civilians in gaza. we must give aid to ukraine and hold the line against vladimir putin and we must rebuff the aimretions of -- aggressions of the chinese communist party in the indo-pacific. as has been true from the start of the congress, bipartisanship cooperation is the only way anything gets to the president's desk. so i'm deeply troubled that yesterday house republicans released a partisan and wefully inadequate package with no aid to ukraine, no humanitarian assistance for gaza, no funding for the indo-pacific, and in addition poison pills that increase the deficit and help wealthy tax cheating avoid paying their fair share. the house gop bill is woefully inadequate. it makes aid for israel, who has just faced the worst terrorist attack in its history, contingent on poison pills that rewards tax cheats. in short, it mak
