national security are that of our partners and allies. overflow to have not have an impact on emotional security. want to come on up. >> sure finance advisor for the u.s. government. you mentioned trying to reach the american populace i'd like to note the associated campaign is for the global audience which sometimes it fall a little short on put leslie in terms of the efforts been taken right now comments are the necessary institutionalization to keep these going forward in the event there is a seismic shift after november next year? >> i will address a couple of different aspects there. the first is in terms of what i think what you refer to is i owe, i would refer to my seeming operation. in diplomatic state department context. we utilize public diplomacy and strategic messaging. we absolutely have diplomacy's, campaigns to inform audiences not only in the endo pacific region but really around the globe about that u.s. end up pacific strategy and what we seek to achieve to the strategy we advance that public diplomacy through a variety

prepared for, what will change and what priorities should be determined by ukraine itself and its partners in these conditions. that's what we will talk about talk with our leading experts in the next issue of our military program. my name is segii sgurets, i am the director of the information and consulting company defense express, which, together with spresso channels, strives to highlight the most relevant trends and events in the security and military environment, and now we are joined by anton mikhnenko, an expert in the field of security and defense technologies. mr. anton, i am glad to welcome, see and hear you on the air. greetings, mr. serhiy, glad to see you. first of all, i would like to ask you if you personally agree with conclusions. we of the same kirill budanov, other experts, that we are already so rapidly approaching a global or world war, and then what tension points may arise if, in addition to our war with russia, such other directions or sources of confrontation appear and where they can be, in principle, if you just paint the current picture that we have now in the c

and ukraine, opportunities to get ukraine received weapons and military equipment from its partners, and all of this just shows that the russian federation is listening, and it is not bad, about how they use drivers in israel, by the way, no, not only these examples of connected with the fact that they began to transfer the weapons that were captured in ukraine in order to create these media companies, to make it difficult to supply already european or american weapons, budanov, there were two more interesting fragments, he spoke about the fact that on the territory lebanon this sputnik radio station just started working, in arabic with such a russian narrative, and what, the second thing that really interested me there, is that on the 24th, september, the russian space apparatus there, which carries out radio reconnaissance, interception of satellites, satellites signals, was also moved to another orbit, just in case, the zone of israel fell into the zone of operation of this russian satellite, that is, in fact , we can say that they knew, prepared and provided assistance not at all

countries, an interesting question, in fact, we just have to understand, and everyone, including partners, i am convinced that they also understand this, the russian federation is used to acting asymmetrically, if they fail to act head-on, they fail achieve their own goals at the expense of military capabilities there, they cannot on the battlefield to win, and we see that they cannot do it, they try to act asymmetrically using various financial opportunities. gas blackmail, we know very well how they used it, if in the recent past, to create certain foci around the world, to aggravate the relations, let's say, of the united states or european partners with other countries, in africa, in asia and so on, that is, they are trying to kindle this fire of danger, to create this global war so that the whole world is threatened with, shall we say, in such a global confrontation, and against the background of this confrontation, they are trying to find property... capabilities in order to achieve their own goals, this is a tactic, strategy, you can call it whatever you want, but these are the act

our focus is on securing the partner defense information networks and working with partners at home and around the world in support of new u.s. national security interests. in my role as director of the national security agency the agency supports every component of the intelligence community and focuses on signals intelligence and cybersecurity. nsa is responsible for the security of our national security systems, including classified networks and war fighting systems. we have signals intelligence authorities to produce foreign intelligence. we operate under authorities that are limited by law and overseen closely by all three branches of government. nsa is the unquestioned world leader in making and breaking codes with some of the most brilliant minds in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and foreign languages working every day to protect us from foreign adversaries. it is a mission that the men and women of the usa and cyber command are proud of and take extremely seriously. what are they working so hard to protect us from? today we find ourselves in an era of strategic c

and ukraine, the possibility of ukraine receiving weapons and military equipment from its partners, and all this just shows that the ears are listening and well, they are well received in the russian federation, in relation to how they are are used by drivers in israel, by the way, no, not only these examples are related to the fact that they began to transfer weapons that were seized in ukraine in order to create these media comps to complicate the supply of already european or american weapons in budanov's interview there were two more interesting fragments, he talked about the fact that this satellite radio station had just started working on the territory of lebanon, in arabic with such russian narratives, and that, the second thing that really interested me there, was that on the 24th there, in september , the russian space probe is carried out there radio reconnaissance, interception of satellites, satellite signals, was also moved to another orbit. so that the zone of israel falls into the zone of operation of this russian satellite. that is, in fact, we can say that they kne

i think for our vendor partners, private-sector partners, understanding that you can design capabilitiesools around that. and number 3 is training our people to understand and leverage those tools so that we can defend our networks. >> i want to sort of build off the last point because i think the investment in the people is probably one of the most critical things that we have to do. a fierce competition for challenge in the area and how many people actually have the skill sets needed both to build your networks and defend the networks and find out threats about those networks. and i think it would take time for our investment to sort of expand the pool of folks to the size that we need it, i think the ability to cross-fertilize those in the private sector and public side and getting better appreciation and i think that vice versa will pay initialed by the ends to allow us to address the threats which quite frankly the federal government can't to by itself nor can private companies to by itself. it's only by working together can we address these threats moving forward. >> we have seen a

[000:00:00;00] increases, the focus of attention of our partners may be deconcentrated, then the question arises, what priorities should ukraine form in these conditions in relations with partners, and it is possible to add to some measures of its own direction, which would not depend on what wishes or visions our partners, by the way, you have raised a very important issue and a very urgent issue, because we cannot constantly live, let's say, on a needle from our partners in the context of arming military equipment. stay, and the partners also perfectly understand that they have their own interests, their own opportunities, and they also have to cover their own needs, and that is why in ukraine it is very important and very relevant for ukraine, this is the development of the defense-industrial complex, separately, in general, the security sector and defense, if we simply talk about the defense-industrial complex, then this is production and try to move as much as possible in the direction that we should be minimally dependent on partners for key samples. military equipment, okay, we are

like our other partners across the atlantic and indo pacific, aukus partners understand the critical role the region plays in global trade and global prosperity. economic growth and prosperity require stability, and predictability. conditions that aukus seeks to undergird through enhanced deterrence and security. our alliances and partnerships have played a foundational role in contributing to peace and prosperity in the indo pacific for the last 70 years. aukus is a concrete commitment to strengthening these partnerships by integrating our partners in europe and asia,recognizing our world is increasingly interconnected and our security here at home in the united states are all linked. it reflects the critical role that both our european and indo pacific partners will play insupporting the shared vision for enhancing peace and security in the indo pacific and around the world. aukus will bolster the security of the united states. both through the development of cutting edge defense and security capabilities but also by ensuring our allies are best positioned to contribute to their ow

are focused on the big players, so the more we work and in a bilateral format with our partners, and in the united states, in washington, and in those capitals that are powerful enough in europe, which represent the naoto alliance, the more better and it will be easier, so the explanation is really where we are in this format, it will push our partners, you understand, i think that you and i will agree here that when ukraine wins, the alliance will look at it differently, and the invitation can be fast, operative and have completely different conditions for us than we have now, so i think that we need to grit our teeth, do our work, but at the same time fulfill our, let's say, intentions and according to ours. other areas where we have joint agreements. i completely agree with you on this. mr. gennadiy, the last question for you, at the nato headquarters at meetings, i heard many times from our partners that ukraine now needs to continue to implement reforms and, in particular, to fight corruption. the prime minister, mr. shmyhal, said that we are doing well with this. he already see

and still remains, and we have to bring it quickly enough, let's say at a time that satisfied our partners and was flexible enough for of the state itself, because this potential is quite large , which is still not fully used, in relation to the creation of joint enterprises for the state segment, the same issue has been discussed many times so that our state enterprises have the opportunity to create joint ventures with foreign companies, again the process of shareholding here rests on one of the key points , it is like again the creation of corporations, joint-stock companies, and it must be moved from the point where it is happening now, it is happening, but slowly , it needs to be accelerated, and again, if we talk about regulatory regulation, it is definitely the creation of joint ventures with foreign partners, the creation of the most adaptive conditions for investments, the protection of these investments, checking the control of these investments so that they are aimed directly at the creation of new models of armed military equipment, that is, there are certain problems, and i se

we count on the support of all international partners. we also mark a line of conditionality for support between the national donors and the international financial institutions as much as possible. to ensure that they are consistent. this work is already underway in the context of the platform for ukraine, including through the preparation by ukraine of the ukraine plan. growth, vision, reform and investment roadmap. beyond conditional financial support, ukraine's candidate for statehood provided a powerful reform impetus, this by the ongoing war. we will continue to stand by ukraine as long as it takes. thank you. >> thank you very much. this now concludes the public portion of the roundtable and we'll take 30 seconds to transition into the closed door session so please stay tuned. the house is in recess as g.o.p. members are discussing the upcoming election. no vote is scheduled on the house floor. steve scalise who was nominated is still short of the 217 votes needed. follow live house coverage here on c-span. >> monday, watch c-span

, and partners, of course , and in all those areas in which we are opening postgraduate courses, thes involved, including in the creation of laboratories , the brightest our successes are genetics, immunology, and technological independence and biotology are generally a priority... of the innovation center, which is why we have all master’s and postgraduate programs, are created with the full participation of these partners, and we have up to 50% of practical teachers in each program, this is a very good indicator, it seems to me that this indicator inspires, of course, those who come here to study, and 2/3 of the leading scientists now work here already constantly, that is, they move, choose sirius as a permanent place of work in general for such scientific creativity, we are ready, in accordance with your instructions last year , to open an experimental flagship program for the strongest schoolchildren in russia cybersecurity, when general higher education programs are integrated and we can see the training of such engineer-leaders, we will begin this year and allow ourselves to re

like our other partners, these partners understand the critical role this trades -- this has in trade and prosperity. economic growth requires prosperity and predictability, things that aukus seeks to provide their enhance deterrents and security. we have contributed a financial role for the last 70 years. aukus is a complete, -- a complete commitment to strengthening these partnerships by strengthening partners in europe and asia, recognizing that the world is increasingly interconnected and the security of all regions and here at home in the united states are all linked. it reflects the critical role that both are european ended up with send -- indo pacific partners will have for enhancing peace and security in the pacific and around the world. aukus will bolster the security of the united states to the development of cutting-edge edge defense and security capabilities but also by ensuring that the allied -- that are allies contribute to our own security and shared interest as a modernized the terry capabilities. it is more than submarines and defense projects, it is a general -- ge

we have experience with this but so do all our partners. that experience will make us successful with this year's apec event. ypt to talk about our staffing. the san francisco police department is staffed up and prepared to make sure this event is safe for everyone. work wg our department of emergency management and will have a joint information center to respond to inquirys and get information out in real time. we do not anticipate apec impact city services by ems or 911. emergency responders will be available everywhere in the city. several hundred sfpd officers are dedicated to normal operations, including calls for service and emergency response acrauz the city. and we plan to maintain adequate service for the greater city in our 10 district stations outside of the apec conference boundaries in order to handle our routine normal calls for service and provide the public safety needs of this city. all of our sworn members will be working. we are mobilized for that week and we will have hundreds of sfpd officers ambassadors, volunteers ded

. president to be meet everyone or all key partners-— key partners.step _ key partners. what would you say is the next step of— key partners. what would you say is the next step of president _ key partners. what would you say is the next step of president biden - the next step of president biden in this now? l the next step of president biden in this now? ~ , , this now? i think it is extremely important _ this now? i think it is extremely important that _ this now? i think it is extremely important that president - this now? i think it is extremely important that president bidenl this now? i think it is extremely - important that president biden works and looks very closely at the hostage affairs. ensuring that those innocent people, whether it is really, palestinian as well as americans are able to get them back, protected and provide humanitarian assistance, i think that is the highest priority now. and working very closely with the israeli defence force ensuring that happens. so i think the hostage affairs situation is extremely important, it is t

a less reliable partner?me minister albanese: i regard the united states as a very reliable partner. and i regard the relationship that i have with the president as second to none of the relationships that i have around the world or indeed domestically, for that matter. [laughter] it's a relationship of trust, and i think this visit symbolizes that. this is the ninth visit that i've had with president biden. i got to meet president biden when he was vice president biden just -- just next door here some years ago. and i'm very confident in the discussions that i've had with democrats and republicans that there is very broad support for the aukus arrangements, and that there will be support for the legislation going forward. and i think that would be a very good thing. it is in the interest of australia, but it's also in the interest of the united states. and everyone that i have spoken to -- similarly in the united kingdom -- across the political spectrum are all supportive of the aukus arrangements. reporter:

, not to be at all, i am talking about our partners, the more we will inspire confidence in our partners. now we are emotionally in theirs, in their minds. we still have to practically prove that we are in their minds. mr. antony, thank you very much for your professional comments, i hope that these approaches are related to the combination of market conditions and war conditions, after all, we will be balanced in the decisions of our authorities, i will remind our viewers that my interlocutor was anton mikhnenko, an expert on security and technology issues. and then we will continue our program after a short informational pause and talk about what other conclusions we have to draw from the hostilities in israel, which are extremely useful for strengthening our defense and military potential. more on that in a few minutes. stiffness in the joints and spine. osteochondrosis, gout, sciatica, arthritis and arthrosis with. for all these problems, the means for external use dikrasin will be useful to you, consultations by phone 0800 215-349 calls are free , damn stairs, my legs can't walk any

how do we also share that information with its use partners? the fact we set a hunt over team in the ukraine 70 days before the groundwork is an example of that. the second piece is partnerships. partnerships. the tremendous value of partnerships that we have been able to understand what an adversary is doing. nato has never been stronger. the work of crisco wholly and his work as commander of u.s.-european command and allied command of europe is game changing of building the partnership with the number of different nations to build to address the threats both on the ground and in cyberspace. then finally, this off private sector. this is the idea of how to get to scale? we getn to scare with the prive sector. being able to operate with a number of different private sector firms come the evolution of the information being able to understand what they're seeing. being able to take that together. that's what we have that her adversaries don't have. >> can you tell us a little bit about the nature of the cyber complex yassin in ukraine? >> a littl

partners. but i don't want august to be used by some as a trojan horse to undermine u.s. export controls for the sake of commercial, industrial interests that are unrelated to the partnership. it should be about modernizing our historic alliances with two of our closest partners who have fought alongside the united states in defense of democracy and freedom. with that let me turn to the ranking member for his opening statement. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. certainly, i want to associate myself with remarks you have made, both of us recognize how important this is. we are anxious to see it move forward. certainly, there have been some disappointments so far, but that doesn't mean we can't do better in the future. i think that's the purpose of this hearing, to try to get this thing on track and move it more quickly and more efficiently. as united states enters into a period of strategic rivalry with china includes military competition on a scale we haven't seen in generations. china has

that we need to pay attention to, so that at the moment when the war ends with our victory, and our partners, nato allies, the questions regarding the internal unpreparedness of ukraine, they were minimal, i.e. interoperability, our compliance with nato standards, perhaps with new 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,

how can we make this a more successful program for supporting our partners in africa? the afc fta, i think that what is important to recognize in that endeavor is africa's own effort to integrate itself with itself. and i think one of the most incredible examples shared with me last year at the african leaders summit, from africa, told me, oftentimes, to fly from one country in africa to another, that is not even that far away, because of the commercial flight patterns, it is easier to fly out of africa into europe and then fly back in. there are actually not that many direct connecting flights inside of africa itself. i think then, you realize in terms of our support for development in africa, which i am so convinced is critical to strong and vibrant future for all of us in the world, have to take into account this incredibly important initiative for the countries in africa and think about how agoa can reflect and support that in to give effort. the last point i will make on agoa,'s for those countries that have actually done quite well in terms of the economic develo

this is a crucial partner country. when we had a problem of this scale, we were honored to work with them, so we're delighted to have you here, president. we had a good meeting yesterday with president biden. i don't know if you will get a question or two to figure out what you said. that is up to everybody on the audience. i'm going to mention the other colleagues that are part of this program. i'm going to next introduce the deputy secretary, we have grown up together. 35 years ago when we first met. he has held up a lot better than i have. he has had a fabulous professional trajectory. was our ambassador in india, and now, the deputy secretary for management. it's a big job. we need to get a bigger foreign service. with everything going on in the world, more diplomats is the cheapest way for defense. this is the conversation we will have another date. nate fick is an old friend. we met, it was 10 years ago when we last saw each other unfortunately but that is when he became rich and went off to a california venture

two partners could come together to solve a difficult task it should be the two of us. the third thing i will note, we are asking the eu to do on this, i feel confident that they are committed to doing it and recognize the need to do it but i think on some level it is difficult for brussels on an emotional level because what we are doing is quite different at as i note all the time change is really hard. also the opportunity to reflect with my team on the record of us eu trade negotiations and engagement. despite our best efforts, our record has been, i would say sometimes we seem like starcrossed lovers. it seems like we should be able to get the thing across the line, even the most obvious recent point on the transatlantic trade and investment partnership, despite the high level political commitment, that that was something that ultimately we weren't able to get across the line so from my perspective you never give up. trade and economic collaboration is something you necessarily have to do with your partners so this is a long way of saying let's see, hang with us. we

so yes, in summary, there is room for us, our partners, of the anti -putin coalition to block oil andetroleum products schemes to grow in principle all over the world and by and large, by and large, if we block this export with priority to the country. union, well, this will inflict a very, very strong blow on the economy of the russian federation, and you will not even deny that they will go there according to some schemes, let's say to central asia or according to illegal tanker schemes, but we are talking about what limits the russian economy, in particular, is limited by sanctions, however i have statistics that next year, russia plans to allocate 11 trillion rubles to the defense-industrial complex, which is 70% more than last year, and this means, as bloomberg journalists calculated, that every third ruble of expenditures will be spent on defense. and we understand that 11 tril is a record amount since the collapse of the soviet union, and here the question immediately arises, we have sanctions, and we have restrictions on russian business there, exports, etc., however, a record

letter , which, in particular, is in question, which quite clearly describes the visions of our partnersegarding how we should qualitatively change, for that our country and its citizens it was comfortable to live inside, and we could claim further strong and stable relations with our partners. in your opinion, what will help ensure the independence and transparency of anti-corruption bodies, where our colleagues and partners always start, and what will improve the fight against corruption in ukraine? thank you, this is a very important question, i would like to go back a bit. and to say that in this situation in which ukraine found itself today, namely in a situation when we ourselves could not even build an economy before the aggression of russia, which would accordingly, it would generate such incomes and such profits for the state, so that the state could receive its army in a combat-ready manner, in the plan, could support all its spheres of the economy, society, in accordance with the fact that it would be possible to actually, somehow, repel aggression of any which country can att

how much economic aid does ukraine currently expect to attract from its partners and what do these partnersxpect from the ukrainian government. the prime minister of ukraine denys shmyl stated that ukraine's honest demand is 42 billion dollars for this year and next year from western partners . economic policy of ukraine. we have just worked with the government of ukraine on the second revision of the program. as you know, this program mobilizes 115 billion dollars in investments. years to provide financial stability and predictability to ukraine. this second review, like the first one we completed in june, demonstrates that the country's economic management, despite wartime conditions, is outstanding. here's what i can tell you: first, ukraine is making a much faster recovery than we expected, growth will be closer to the upper 3% mark, and as always my ukrainian friends say we will beat even that. second - as we can see, structural reforms are ongoing, difficult reforms even in peacetime, they are even more difficult in wartime, but they are implemented, we also see policies to protect ma
