nato defense ministers, who took place the next day, so they decided to hold a similar meeting in ramshtein, and by the way, on the same day, a meeting of the ukraine-nato council took place at the level of defense ministers, this was really the first time in the format of the ukraine-nato council , and defense minister umirov took part in this meeting , as for the president of ukraine, he really personally participated offline for the first time, although before that, as you know, there were examples of his inclusion online, well , the motives are clear here, on the eve of the difficult autumn-winter period, when ukraine awaits and obviously the intensification of attacks on our critical infrastructure, we need the components that we, which we still lack, these are first of all additional air defense systems, additional missiles to these air defense systems, and we definitely need to keep the issue in sight and under control with the supply of the f16, along with the training of our pilots, technicians and other, other relevant... personnel, well, they talked about a number of other aspects, i can't reveal it in the press, but in principle, if we talk about th

said, there will be another very important event in the afternoon, this is the meeting of the ukraine-nato council, so you understand, before it was just a commission. ukraine is nato, now it has been promoted, that is, the decisions that will be adopted at this council are already much more serious decisions, the atmosphere here is incredible, ministers continue to meet, come up and everyone says that ukraine needs and will support until those as many times as needed, for example, a minister defense of the netherlands kaisa longronen, when she approached the journalists, when she was asked about the fact that now another war has started in israel, whether it is possible to compare this war with the war in ukraine and whether nato will treat these two wars with the same, the same she said that yes, it is very important, it is very difficult, and there will also be a lot of talk about this war in israel today, but above all, today they will talk about helping ukraine. we will work until the evening. has a lot there will be various meetings, there are a lot of approaches to the press, i will be incl

to make ukraine's armed forces fully compatible with its future allies. and we created the nato ukraine council, your values ​​are our values, we will support ukraine as long as necessary. in my opinion , a wonderful speech, that is, he admitted that his ideology is the ideology of the nazis, that his ideology is fagot. ukraine's so-called liberation of its lands occurred without any military influence; the main withdrawal of troops was after the way you lied. initialed the agreement, we withdrew the troops, after which we said, oh, no, by the way, there’s a storm here , by the way, it’s still going on, here’s a terrible tragedy in israel, there’s a video, everything is clear, everything is clear, unbearable footage, terrible, but they exist , where i try everything except staged photos, a few days later, where is the real video at the time of the crime, everyone always had their phones , where is it all, the names of those killed in the butches have not yet been named, several examinations carried out by the british have not been indicated, and there were discovered these little arrows that ar

a meeting of nato defense ministers and a meeting of the nato ukraine council in the ramstein formatin brussels. ukrainian president vladimir zelensky arrived at the meeting on an unannounced visit. the situation with arms supplies for ukraine has worsened so much and is now in doubt because of the arab-israeli conflict that the ukrainian leader had to go personally in order to convince his partners that the ukrainian crisis should not be written off. as a result of the meeting, pentagon chief lloyd osin announced a new package of us military assistance to ukraine in the amount of $200 million. it will include ammunition for fvo systems, artillery, missile and aviation ammunition, anti-tank weapons, and equipment to counter russian drones. today we will talk about a new the outbreak of perhaps the most protracted conflict. on the planet, blood is again being shed on the holy land, although due to the abundance of this blood shed for thousands of years, this land, or rather to be called bloody, the arab-israeli conflict seems to many to be unsolvable in principle, is this so, we’ll ta

a meeting of the nato defense ministers of the nato ukraine council took place in brussels in the ramstay situation with arms supplies to ukraine has deteriorated so much and is now in question disruption due to the arab-israeli conflict, that the ukrainian leader had to go personally in order to convince his partners that the ukrainian crisis should not be written off. as a result of the meeting, pentagon chief lloyd austin announced a new package of us military assistance to ukraine in the amount of $200 million. it will include ammunition for air defense systems and artillery. missile and aircraft ammunition, anti-tank weapons, equipment to counter russian drones. today we will talk about a new outbreak, perhaps the most protracted conflict on the planet, blood is again shed on the holy land, although due to the abundance of this blood shed over thousands of years, it would be more accurate to call this land bloody. the arab-israeli conflict seems unsolvable to many, in principle, is this so, we’ll talk in today’s program, examining... the council of the republic of the national assemb

standards that appear in ukraine and to which nato must also adapt, it is also necessary to mean. and we have to close this moment for you, that is why i think that precisely the council of ukraine nato, and our annual program, which will be reformatted, are also currently consulting on what it will look like, and in november there should already be final options and recommendations from members of the alliance so that they want, so it is precisely our internal track as rnp, external track as the ukraine nato council, this is exactly what we can say, and it is important, in addition to the internal track, what i said that we are seeing now. what, let's give advice - this is a new level, so it's not just about integration, but also about where ukraine can be helpful, and be part of the common security architecture, so i think that the more we are for ourselves during this time, while we are fighting, unfortunately we are losing our brothers, sisters and friends, but we understand how we are building the basis of the new security structure, that is what we can explain to our partners at the board meeting, that is very important. we heard from our partners that ukraine m

ukraine is sitting at the table with nato members as an equal player, not a guest. this is how ukrainian defense minister rustem umyerov described the meeting at the ministerial level of the ukraine-nato councilther with president zelensky, he went to brussels for negotiations with ukraine's allies. in general, according to the results of the contact meeting group on defense issues, that's what the ramstein format meeting is officially called, ukraine managed to get half a billion dollars worth of aid. rostem umyerov clarified that there are unexpected obligations, but they are all in the mouth and they still need to be calculated. we have commitments and supplies, from what we can see from the commitments, a lot of what we didn't expect is positive commitments. if we talk about supplies, then we receive everything on time, that is, we are also increasing this capacity, that is, planning will already take place on medium-term and long-term dimensions, what our partners want to work with us, for the protection of cities and infrastructure, ukraine will continue to need additional air defense systems, heavy weapons, and ammunition. 11 countries have announced their future support for the ukrain

and now a meeting of the ukraine-nato council is underway in brussels. ministers of defense, we are also expecting a speech, stoltenberg, jens stolteng, and more will be heard live, but ukraine is slowly gaining its territory, which means that the russians are losing it, so we are now trying to ensure the integration of ukraine into the euro-atlantic community, to which it rightfully belongs , and we will be... with ukraine for as long as it takes, this is the end of the official part of the meeting and i will ask zmi representatives to leave this room and we will continue. there are 20% discounts on dolgit cream in the psyllanyk, ban and oskad pharmacies. with acute respiratory distress syndrome, due to increased temperature, the body can lose water, so it is imperative that you both drink plenty of water. heavy drinking, i.e. drinking a lot? yes, when regular water is not enough, i recommend reo. reo restores the water-electrolyte balance in gr. solution for adult drinking water reo. reo - water for special medical purposes. tired of heavy and bulky forks. then compact and powerful saw

remstein 16 and the ukraine-nato council on the same day, two very important events, and we...' is there of interest, particularly from the side of ukraine, because president volodymyr zelensky suddenly appeared there, we were all hoping for some special good news for us after these meetings, please tell me whether you are personally satisfied, disappointed, briefly please summarize to what extent these two events were successful for us , the fact is that volodymyr zelenskyy, in my opinion , strengthened the new minister of defense, whom few of the heads of defense departments who came to ramshtein have yet met. it is clear that this political support had to somehow affect the general perception of what was said, and that, of course, our partners should think about how we can still help, it is clear that the situation related to israel, it is somewhat informative now overshadows what is happening on the ukrainian -russian front, but at the same time, we understand that no one is removing from the agenda those requests that ukraine needs, and in this case, we should not talk about being s

ukraine the rope is the end, so these complaints from the white house, commented the official representative of mitrossia, maria zakharova. defense ministers of western countries at a meeting of the nato councilreassure kiev partners, they say, military assistance will continue without restrictions, but the house of representatives does not provide the necessary funds for this to the white house, the biden administration is going to send to congress a single request for funding military assistance immediately to israel, ukraine, taiwan, and at the same time to combat the flow of migrants - reports american television channel nbc, but some republican lawmakers have already opposed it. in addition, the lower house of congress was left without a speaker; kevin mccarthy lost this post. by the way, for the first time in us history, due to attempts to push all the same financial aid to ukraine through parliament. the election of the speaker is also delaying the approval of new tranches for the kiev regime, although ukraine in any case will not be able to solve the tasks that washington has set for it, notes our country’s ambassador to the united states. the counteroffensive has failed, the kiev reg

there will also be a meeting today of the ukraine-nato council, which we started during the vilnius summitwhich helps to strengthen our mutual relations, and also brings ukraine closer to membership in the alliance. likewise, today we will talk about new deterrents, we agreed on new defense plans during the summit in july, but now we will move on to concrete implementation, in particular. through concrete steps such as increasing the presence of troops on nato's eastern flank up to 300,000 troops. we will also talk about the challenges that nato is facing, in particular, about the end of its presence in kosovo, where the pressure is on. when we talk about the baltic countries, and also about the damage that has been done to the critical maritime infrastructure, it was announced yesterday and we ... talked to the representatives of estonia and finland in fact, we will also talk about what, what the future scenarios might be, whether it was a targeted attack on nato's critical infrastructure, and we will to target our united, unified response. tomorrow we will discuss issues related to the d

ukraine, umer, we discussed key issues, so now we are implementing one of the three historic decisions that were made during the summit in vilnius and , in particular, the establishment of the ukrainian nato councilose decisions, we know , that of ukraine, the action plan for ukraine was taken up to today during the meeting of the council of ukraine at nato, we discussed ukraine's own priorities on the way to nato membership, including the procurement system and long-term compliance with nato standards. we know that defense is very important for ukraine now, but we also want to act proactively so that ukraine has stability, peace and stability. we estimate. ukrainian fight against corruption, even in a state of war. we also stated that nato will continue to help ukraine survive another difficult winter. and knowing this, we will give ukraine more warm clothes, and fuel, medicines and demining systems, all this so that the ukrainian military could act in spite of the cold. now, nato defense chiefs will discuss strengthening our deterrence and defenses, and discuss nato missions and operations, as well as the potential... consequences of undersea infrastructure damage in the baltic sea. please be r

yehor, there is information that during the meeting of the ukraine-nato council, kyiv submitted a project annual national program cooperation, the priorities of which are operational interoperability and transparency of defense procurement, what kind of program is this, can you decipher a little, and why is it important to have this plan for a year, this is what was fixed in the final communique of the vilnius summit, in fact it was written there that ukraine does not need a traffic law, but ukraine will be given an active annual national plan, we have actually implemented these plans since 2008, but to be honest, it was more of a formality than a real move towards nato membership, because there a program of 400, goals and 400 pages, where there are more processes, and not goals, which , on the one hand, were agreed upon by both sides from the beginning of the year, the headquarters of nato and the state of ukraine, and then evaluated every year, in principle, well, gradually something was changing somewhere, but i can’t say that it was a real plan, our task now is to make a proposal to t

ukraine, its total amount - 122 million dollars, this will take place at a meeting of the ukraine nato council. it is stated on the website of the ministry of defense of the country. the allocated funds will be used to help the ukrainian military clear fields, repair vehicles and strengthen defensive fortifications to protect critical infrastructure. assistance will be provided from the international fund, which great britain launched together with denmark that year. to world obesity day. the russian army has lost 820 soldiers, and in general, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the russian federation, 283,900 occupiers have never gained weight. the armed forces of ukraine and the amount of equipment of the muscovites were breaking through. over the past day, 34 tanks, 91 armored fighting vehicles, 18 artillery systems, four ssvs, 20 tank cars and one special vehicle were destroyed , 19 drones and one plane flew in our sky, and one air defense system will no longer protect the russians from ukrainian attacks. the general staff reminds that all data are indicative. deputy verkhovn

military-political union without traffic rules, an action plan regarding membership, and also created the ukraine-nato council. an annual adaptive national program should become a kind of road map. we understand that we need to bring our standards up to nato standards and nato principles, but we are talking about concrete reforms that will be written down and signed by both sides. here is a comprehensive annual national program that can become such a guide for our reforms. but while the demands for reforms are not clearly spelled out over their exact wording, they are already working. together with nato, we are working on preparation new document, adapted. a national program that will determine practical steps for ukraine to comply with the principles and standards of the alliance. and this is a hint of a political consensus, which will be almost decisive at the time of accession. all alliance members, without exception, must give their consent, and ukraine already has allies for official accession. we have today signed declarations of our support for our nato membership with 25 countries out of 31. so here.

well, ukraine will be in nato no later than in 5 years, at least that is what the former director of european affairs in the national security councilbelieves, alexander vindman, my colleague, sashko shevchenko asked him where such optimistic... forecasts come from, listen . if ukraine remains outside nato, it will be there another war guaranteed. russia will still be capable. even, probably, in case of defeat , in which russia will go at least from donbas, the issue of crimea will be resolved, i think that this is also a big challenge, a military problem for ukraine. but i think it means that russia may still have aspirations to dominate ukraine, and the longer ukraine stays out of nato, that's going to be a problem. therefore, it is in the interests of europe, it is in the interests of nato, to take ukraine into the alliance. i'm talking about five years, because i'm frankly pessimistic about that it will take so long. to go through the invitation stage, to go through the approval stage of all the member countries, it will take some time, as we have seen with the example of sweden and finland. therefore , it is a big challenge, bu

ukraine. the leaders of canada, germany, italy, poland, great britain, romania, france, nato and the european council took part in the conversation with president biden. this was reported by the strategic communications coordinator of the council of of national security, john kirby. the president confirmed the resolute commitment of the united states in supporting ukraine, which is itself. protects, this support will last as long as it is needed, this was confirmed by all the leaders who participated in the call. the leaders discussed continuing to provide ukraine with the ammunition and weapons systems it needs to defend its territory, as well as continuing to strengthen ukraine's air defenses as they prepare for new attacks on vital infrastructure. this call was made of course after the congress passed the budget resolution last weekend. which did not include financial support for ukraine, while president biden made it clear that under no circumstances should we allow support for ukraine to be cut off, time is not on our side, we have enough financial authority to meet ukraine's needs on the ground

getting its hands on so many weapons we heard from the russian security council that many of them are the arms that nato has sent to ukraine. what's your take on that? a lot. it's a really good question. it's an important question, but that has to be answered from us, has been back that sponsored by many of the united states is closest persian gulf allied. and that's, that's something that many people aren't aware of the us often, but uses a ron of primarily supporting from us. that's actually us allies in the region. and of course, we know that when the us is pumping weapons into one conflict, for often stipend off either a legally or deliberately to help arms other conflicts around the region. and so it's probably either a case of blowback. busy a deliberate attempt to provoke a mass of conflicts in the middle east, maybe to distract away from your brain, or maybe to exploit the closing window of opportunity as the region, your reversible, he ships away from the us and toward pulse like polar. so there's really prime minister as plugs to wipe out on us, how proportionate has israel's response been given that both sides a

ukraine unlike everybody from nato. this will probably break putin's relationship with netanyahu. at least what i saw from the security council over the weekend, the russians were uniquely oppositional in blaming israel directly for the attacks. that relationship is gone. in terms of u.s. support militarily, how you started the question, a week ago ukraine support was the biggest thing they were fighting over in washington. by friday, the biggest issue was keeping the government open over than medium-term, avoiding 1% reduction of budget across-the-board. as of today, ukraine is in third place after containing the israel-palestine war, not allowing it to become conflagration in the middle east. this is a unique situation for zielinski since the war started. matt: you saw some right-wing republicans essentially throwing mccarthy out because he was not tough enough at reducing demands for additional ukrainian aid. i imagine that's out of the party will be very pro israel, happy to step up aid. ian: agreed. mccarthy, two months ago, said he was on team biden when it came to ukraine. i cannot imagine two more words that are more

it's his 1st visit to nato headquarters since rushes infection ministers to meet the ukrainian counterpart in a session of the nature of ukraine council. they're also set to discuss issues beyond the war in ukraine, including tuesdays reported damage to a substitute gas pipeline. and the telecommunications cable linking 2 of its members that would be sending and, and is still here for the moment. welcome to to your file. and we can actually go to nato headquarters now and speak to our brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena who's on the ground for us, the alexandra. so what is on that? the ukranian president's agenda as he hits into this meeting at the age of head courses. while the training president has arrived in brussels coming directly from romano, where he held stokes with the government there. we also saw him last week in grenada, in spain. and there, as well as here at nato headquarters in brussels. he told us that this is a crucial time for ukraine. they, they need to really older elyse and partners to want them to get more support, more or defense, more artillery, more munition, to get ready for the upcoming winter. becaus

the atlantic council and a group of international experts addressed the us president to speed up the process of ukraine's accession to nato. the initiative is related to disappointment, the results of the july summit in vilnius. the appeal has two main recommendations, clear requirements for the provision of weapons and an immediate start negotiations on ukraine's accession to nato. the ukrainian side emphasized that only membership in the alliance can stop russia's war. now, nine months before the summit in washington, we are already preparing the ground so that there is no disappointment, so that it is clearly understood that we are doing everything for ukraine to become a member of nato and that in washington, finally, members alliance made a decision to invite ukraine to the alliance, it is important for us that this strengthening takes place with the expansion of the circle of those who understand why it is important. why that the only membership of ukraine in the alliance, why is it important, why is it the only way, in fact , to protect ukraine and to protect itself as an alliance from future attacks by the russian

nato troops to enter into the conflict in ukraine. we talked about this with the first deputy chairman of the federation council committee on defense andu, thank you for finding time for us. of course, events in europe require clarifications, at least from you as a specialist in europe, and the main question, probably, is why suddenly the heads of the foreign ministry, and the head of state, suddenly began to meet so often, kiev, granada, what is the need for these meetings , they seem to be not formal, well, the format is actually an idea of ​​emmanuel macron last year, after the start of our special military operation, he wanted to create some kind of vague format, no, no one directly tied to the european union, which would give the opportunity, well a kind of discussion club, they passed that's it then. in may last year, pashinyan signed a well-known agreement with the fate of karabakh, there was a second, it was in chisinau, now there is a third, which means the recent past, as former president of the united states barack obama spoke about the russian economy, that it is torn to shreds, that’s the word english shambles, i saw today

talking about, the discussion was, yes, ukraine’s refusal to join nato, ukraine receives security guarantees from the un security councilssians, now two players, china and russia, who are restrained by the united states, are joining forces, the americans believe that they are strong enough to restrain both sides, according to in my humble opinion, this is mistake, well, the united states really believes that it can contain both russia and china at the same time, just yesterday , the leading american magazine foreign affairs published a programmatic... article by us presidential national security adviser jake sullivan, which is called, very loudly called, sources of american power, foreign policy. for a changed world, where he talks about what, what tremendous successes the biden administration has already achieved and what it should be like politics in a changed world, the main element of which is the simultaneous struggle with china and russia and the return of strategic rivalry. listen to what salvan writes. us foreign policy was formed in an era that is quickly becoming a thing of the past, and the question now is wh

to see our flags in front of the nato headquarters and in front of the european council, this will be really, what i will consider a fantastic success, both for ukraine and the ukrainian nation, that is, something that will give us the opportunity to occupy the places that we deserve and now it is understood a lot more people than before. mr. pavle, how will the change of the european union and nato affect our progress. or let's say this way, the victory in the elections in european countries, especially in eastern european countries, of populist and pro-moscow parties, well, this is how it happened in slovakia, whether it will affect our pace and our negotiations and our discussions about our future, bad will influence, i will even say in one sentence, there will be many different attempts to build strategies or situationally put forward conditions for us, to brussels, to set hooks, postpone something, press, that is, this process will be quite difficult, tough, cynical, and we have to prepare for it. thank you, mr. pavle, for the conversation, it was pavlo klimkin, a diplomat, a politician, a person who knows everything, or almost everything, about
