, consistent partners that russia is a sponsor of terrorism. i want to remind you that somewhere in the 17th year at the nato parliamentary assembly , we made a corresponding report about the way in which russia... the federation uses opportunities to finance terrorist organizations such as idilt and dill, etc., so in this case it only has be the presence of political will among our partners from the united states of america, regarding the completion of this issue and bringing it to a logical counterpart to what is happening in reality now. russia is a state sponsor of terrorism. well, the state, which is actually itself. a terrorist, although this is a legal term: a state sponsor of terrorism. mr. oleksiy, do you think the americans recognize russia as a state sponsoring terrorism? thank you, indeed, sergey, you correctly said at the end that she is not a sponsor, she is the main terrorist, russia, by the way, this is quite consistent, because if we recall the history of the soviet union, then the main organizer of world terror was soviet. uni

american partners and western partners, when they still try not to take any drastic actions or make drastic statements, to make decisions that could lead to an even greater escalation of the conflict. and unfortunately, when i was on a business trip to the united states of america, this thesis that the united states and the authorities of the united states are trying to avoid further escalation permeated the official and unofficial communications of our colleagues with american colleagues, so i i think that eventually the united states of america will admit that russia is a state sponsor of terrorism, but how quickly it will happen, well, i can't. to be optimistic and say that it will happen in the near future, but this is exactly the way that our partners in the united states of america have declared and are declaring, the way of the actual full application of all the various sanctions, which will then be very painful for those who violate them. today, the secretary of defense of the united states of america, lloyd osin , opened the meeting of the 20th meeting of the format romstein promis

we are now clearly telling our partners in the anti-putin coalition.ed third generation patriot systems or similar air defense systems. why the third generation and why the patriot, because precisely such missiles and precisely the third generation have a warhead that independently, even when the radar guided it and the computer released it, it is the warhead itself. then it will not leave any russian missile in the air, even these zircons, which the russians boasted so much about, these warheads are capable of guiding them further in the air, targeting them, striking them, and striking them with what, for our telechi, perhaps it would be interesting that these are 24 such tungsten rods that completely paralyze, destroy the rocket's wings, the rocket itself, and thus knock it off course or destroy it in the air. and so it was, and that is why they were successfully shot down over kyiv, including in the last week, two zerkons, the last of which was released by the aggressor from the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea, therefore such air defens

of our partners, geopolitical, strategic partners, in no case is it possible, yes we can, and they understandt we cannot disclose the entire volume of information there, but it definitely should not be a deception, and here is one more point, we understand that sometimes... statements have to be made so that our partners, for whom sometimes they are more worried that some content has fallen in them, because the ship hit its head, than because of what is happening, or they may be there, i don't know, bulk to excite a lot, they can hold a minute of silence one step at a time from the hall, but for every hundred killed ukrainians don't even pay attention, we understand all this, and then the statements that you stop giving us ammunition from... weapons in homeopathic doses, well, when you don't know where those two guns are, where to send them along a thousand-kilometer front, it's all understandable, when there are such statements, and here is an extreme statement from our president about the possibility of a full-scale offensive in may at the beginning of june, it is more of a stimulating stat

that can help supported, that iswe are the chs and trying to bring in the right partners.so incredibly important, because no one federal agency will be able to help all of the different resilient needs that are out there, but i feel we are oned well to bring in those partners for that specific community and going there and understand what their needs are and help them get on the road to resilience. andrew: got you. you were going to love this question. what is a bigger hinbeing lumpee agency like dhs or congressional dysfunction when it comes to funding? deanne: wow. you think i'm going to love that question? andrew: yep. deanne: i listen to secretary mayorkas the other day when he wasñ4 speaking at the conferenc. the department as a whole is a for purpose, and there is so much interdependency and interconnection between the work that we do in the work the rest of the department does it gives us the opportunity to really leverage resources. in being able to tap in to support her agency. as far as the second part of that question, it is a work in progress. andrew: very deft

and in terms of our relationship withng partner and democracy in the region a very important partner see regime in venice and venezuela are doing and the activities taking against this democracy with an unjustified claim. our support for guyana we have shown that from the u.s. governments. i'm through all the instruments of national power the diplomacy the military,. >> you have directions from the white house from your superiors in the departmentri as to what we should do? >> as we work my engagements and what we do with the cooperation we have a very robust plan and we have continued on that plant that has been coordinated with art u.s. government. >> could you briefly describe the plan? >> it consists of visits fight folks within my command. and the engagements that we do the exercises the subject matter exchanges we have continued with all of those. not trying to exacerbate theio situation but continue on path with our regular engagements that have been sched not halted any of that. >> has international community assisting us in that regard? >> international community is very muc

partners is sometimes as many as 10 or 20 foreign partners working together in tandem to try to have the whole be greater than the sum of the parts. we talked about numbers, the disadvantage we are at relative to the ccp. but as general nakasone said his true partnerships we have that allows us to have the u.s. together with some other countries say it is japan, is to get synergies from working together. that's our best defense against the ccp. >> so china is ready to attack by 2027, taiwan. we had a great meeting with the former defense secretary and he was the one talking about that it will not be a war but more of the commercial. it means they will stop the ships going in and out and that's how they will isolate taiwan. when the other countries are still using those systems and especially in the united states, our cranes were made by china and they are controlling it. you were talking about that little gas line we got into trouble. when they stop all those cranes that what we are using in u.s. ports, we are in big trouble. we cannot communicate -- we can communicate maybe, don't k

how unusual is it to lose such partners from a firm?ple are fired from firms all the time but it is ready unusual especially showing between, what they've done thereby saying employee specific circumstances and say no further comments at this time not even naming them in the initial tweet. all they did was create intrigue over what happened. if they have said initially what had happened maybe it wouldn't have been such a significant new cycle but they handled this poorly from the get-go. it was a three sentence email to a bunch of outside investment partners but got this though it -- going. he said if you want more information give me a call. so a lot of intrigue here. so when unusual situation. ed: social capital is basically not saying anything, but we know this has something to do with ai startup, explain the basics of that? >> there's a lot of speculation on what it means. this ai startup, the valuation went through the roof and i guess there were some concerns potentially about that investment and how it was handled and how outside

in terms of trade turnover, belarus is one of the five partner countries of the vladimir region. twenty-third year, it amounted to more than $400 million, but there is every prospect of increasing it to half a billion. this growth was helped by nursing. in ancient suzdal, which celebrates its millennium this year, belarusians are building an ultra-modern school. the president of belarus and the governor of the vladimir region agreed on such a gift for the city’s anniversary last year. the opening is traditionally scheduled for september 1. 1,200 people will receive knowledge here. in addition to classrooms, an assembly hall and a dining room, two large swimming pools, a stadium, and a children's boarding camp for 100 people will be built. the vladimir region is updating urban transport this year two will come to the region in a month. some supplies of medicines from western markets have ceased; our country is not only profitable, but strategically important to cooperate with such large partners in the field of medicine. from trade cooperation, a showroom for the belarusian machin

china largest trading partner in the second largest for latin america and the caribbean.ty-three countries have joined the belt and initiative. there are of course political ramifications of deepening economic engagement. the only african country to recognize taiwan and since 2017, targeted investments in central america have helped entice the dominican republic, el salvador and nicaragua to switch diplomatic recognitions from taiwan to the prc. we've seen a similar story play out in the pacific ian ago, sixs recognized taiwan but that number has now been cut in half he has china deepened its economic and in some cases political security relationships with those nations with significant implications. meanwhile in the middle east economic engagements into political and diplomatic influences. last march beijing was credited with mediating a dÉtente betwee■ and iran reshaping the regions politics. now even as it maintains the traditional risk adverse approach to involvement the war and support for israel to bolster its narratives of the region and across theworld. narratives

belarus is among the top five in terms of goods volume partner countries of the vladimir region.t the end of the twenty-third year, it amounted to more than $400 million, but there is every prospect of increasing it to half a billion. this growth was helped by the withdrawal of foreign companies from the markets, which led to the development of industrial cooperation. mutual supplies of, say, metal products have increased. our company is a belarusian metallurgical plant. traditionally working in european markets, did not expect that in the conditions of russia it would be possible to successfully compete for large industrial enterprises, let’s say in vladimir region to supply seamless pipes, metal wire or other types of metal products, a completely new interesting niche, this is railcar construction, when axle rough blanks come from our mogilev plant, the final machines are assembled, here in the vladimir region , railcars are already here. we cooperate in the field of construction; today in ancient suzdal, which celebrates its millennium this year, belarusians are building a sta

funded implanting partners? >> depending on what constitutes other fees, yes. >> i agree with my colleague. >> certainly through testimony that this committee has received we have establish that the taliban have benefited from the aid that we send to afghanistan mr. west, this past november it was testified that they have been trying to meet with you since you were appointed to and a half years ago. he has met with every special represent for afghanistan since 2012 but it was not until after they testified publicly of your refusal to meet that you finally agreed to a meeting last week. why did it take you to and a half years and congressional testimony for you to finally meet with the special inspector general? >> i was glad to have the opportunity the state department suspects the role that sigar plays and the oversight of afghanistan policy. we had a productive exchange that i hope will continue. >> that is not what i asked you. i asked you i took 2 1/2 years. >> i was glad to have the opportunity to sit down

our allies and partners continue to step up. the united states must als and the ukraine people -- ukrainian people will not let putin prevail, and neither will we. as president biden has said, we will not walk away. now, putin hoped to isolate ukraine. instead, he left himself alone with iran and north korea, and that's a far cry from the some-50 nations of goodwill from all around the world who gathered again today. our allies and partners are here because they understand the stakes, and ukraine's friends continue to come up with inti new commitments to provide ukraine with urgently-needed capabilities, especially air defense and armor and artillery ammunition, and we're proud to stand with them. that's why we recently announced more u.s. secu million, and our allies and partners continue to step up and the united states must also. over nearly two years, this contact group has generated more than $88 billion in security assistance commitments for ukraine, and that includes 15 u.s. allies who are committing more to ukraine than

fleet thanks to the cooperation of the military administration of the communities. volunteers and partnersfrom lithuania. projectile hunger, money the czech initiative to buy ammunition for ukraine is still not enough. some countries have already made their contribution, but this is not enough - said estonian defense minister hannu pevkur. about 3 billion euros are needed, if we are talking about a million shells. they are trying to find the missing funds first of all in the nordic countries and. therefore, it is difficult to predict when the shells. taurus missile maker mbda is calling on the german government to speed up order decisions for industry. the spiegel publication writes about this with reference to management of the german subsidiary. they emphasized that taurus missiles are not produced because the defense industry has no orders. according to manufacturers, the industry needs a basic reboot to maintain supply chains, the company emphasized, but despite this, german chancellor olaf scholz rejects the supply of taurus to ukraine. the drama with the captured hostages in the east

we will be your partner every step of the way. also want to say that you have to believe in connection. states: we've been on your side since the beginning of this war. we have provided tremendous support and will continue to do so it's every day in every way we know how. there is a question here because of the delay in our congress of the additional funding bill that you rightfully deserve and that president biden fights for every day. that's $60 billion that the senate voted for on a bipartisan basis. we are currently working with the house of representatives to pass this bill. we are from the rostrum of the white house and from other rostrums, i said that ukraine must win, today i say here, ukraine must win. what does it mean? it means that ukraine, after this war, will be sovereign, independent and free, able to restrain future aggression, with a strong living democracy, with deep democratic institutions, with an economy. which is developing, when you count the votes in the house of representatives, you can see that a strong b

both hear and know, and we don't sleep, i mean those deputies who, like me, work with our western partners, although i don't even go online enough, or they come to kyiv , but that's not what we're talking about right now, they hear, but you have to understand that, for example, those patriot air defense systems, only the third generation, i emphasize. with such state-of-the-art capabilities, because we need to shoot down not just missiles, but russian ones, which are actually very large, very heavy, but at the same time enough, you know, so fast in spite of everything, we need these systems, and, for example, those that are the patriot systems in ukraine, they were handed over to us by germany, so i sometimes think it is very unfair to criticize germany too much, if we did not have germany there would not be such modern systems, because they had to be developed and installed at one time. to master and so on, so now the main issue is still unlocking american aid so that the american manufacturer of patriot systems of the third and more advanced generations is anti-aircraft system patriot, m

groziv, i think that the british and american partners already know who exactly mr. groziv was talking about, i only hope that in the near future, through such partnerships with the cia, and with mi-5 and mi-6, the service security of ukraine and other special services of ukraine receive information and will be able to check it without well, at the very end of our conversation, the law on mobilization between the second and between the first and second readings, for some reason there was a big pause, 4 thousand amendments, in this question, the question of the law on mobilization, is there more of a political or military component? there is no political will in this matter, and we saw this firsthand on march 14, when... it was, when we all came to the verkhovna rada, i mean the opposition, the fatherland faction, everyone voted 100%, especially for the decision and resolution of the verkhovna rada that we... will never recognize fake elections in the temporarily occupied territories, after that the representatives of the mono majority left, well, after the alarm, so

partners. 0k, pat leahy, political editor _ his government partners. 0k, pat leahy, political editor 0k, pat leahy, political editor of the irish | leahy, political editor of the irish times, thank you forjoining us. let's return now to the israel gaza war. as the conflict approaches the milestone of six months, there are calls from the far right in israel forjewish settlers to return to gaza. the idea has support from ministers in israel's hard—right government including the minister for public security itamar ben—gvir. a prominent settler leader has told the bbc that she already has 500 families "signed up who are ready to move immediately". israel pulled out of its settlements in gaza in 2005. settlements are held to be illegal under international law. israel disputes this. from the west bank, our senior international correspondent 0rla guerin reports. the hills of the west bank. palestinian land, eaten away for decades by illegal israeli settlements. they are an obstacle to peace, the un says. but now many on israel's far right want to bring settlements back to gaza. like this ma

we are also a partner. we have been here since day one providing support and guidance to the coast guard and all the other partners. we play a key role in supporting and leading responses to cleanups to waterways as well as inland areas. we have been doing it for decades. thousands and thousands of incidents. we have been on the ground working with local leaders, state governments, and sister agencies at the federal level. in this response, epa's rule is that of advisor. we are here to use science and our experience to carry forth the u.s. coast guard in the maryland department of unified command's objectives for managing this event. in our various worlds here, the epa evaluates information provided by the coast guard on dangerous goods in the vessel, and provides recommendations on developing plans and strategies as needed. at this time, there is no indication of active releases from the vessel nor of the presence of materials that are hazardous to human health in the water. however, monitoring is ongoing.

donetsk, luhansk regions, before that it breaks my heart, and when i read the statements of our partners, the european side, the european union, the united states of america has already made a statement regarding the illegitimacy of the elections in the occupied territories, it is correct, but it is not a sufficient reaction. ms. irina, you mentioned putin's illegitimacy and the fact that most of the leaders of western countries are already saying that we will call him putin, and not president. us republican senator lynsey graham initiates a bill to recognize russia a state sponsor of terrorism, well, what should make secondary sanctions more significant, as he said, and he also spoke about illegals'. putin yesterday he was in kyiv and after yesterday's meeting with president zelensky , he literally said the following. let's listen. in particular, as far as putin's elections are concerned, they are illegitimate. he is not a legitimate president. he leads a terrorist state. therefore, my response to his election when i return to washington... will be to introduce a bill declaring russia a

western partners to get involved, then there is no need for a nato decision, each country will decideor itself and will work as as she sees fit, and i somehow think it's not just france. well, by the way, we have emmanuel macron's synchronicity, where he explains in an interview for tf-1 what he meant and about the understanding and fears that france has about putin's possible aggression. let's listen to what macron said. these fears are a necessary signal to wake up i think it is important that our youth understand what the war in ukraine is like. it takes place 1,500 km from our borders. this is very little. if ukraine falls, if we decide to abandon it, the consequences will be direct for us. because where will the imperialists stop. ramstein format of our western partners who support us and secretary of defense lloyd austin. said that the world will not allow ukraine to be defeated, why, can you explain to us, mr. volodymyr, why the west does not say that they will not allow of our defeat, why don't they say that they don't, that they support ukraine in its victory, that is, not to
