so my position is ukraine is to be compan make me ukraine has to become a member of nato in the near future, ukraine must do its work in terms of reforming. the alliance must show strong political will and unity to give ukraine nato membership - it will be in the interests to the alliance of ukraine and the entire free world, the alliance and our best partners and friends must do everything possible to ensure that ukraine wins this war, and for this we need financial, economic and military support in this amount, and until then it will be damn much necessary. thank you, mr. pasov volker, the next question for you, mrs. yatsenyuk, said about the serious achievements of this precisely to nato, if we speak responsibly we must not forget that many important decisions were made within the framework of this meeting today and yesterday, however, in your opinion, since you study well and know the russian mentality, in your opinion, how will russia interpret the results of willivskyi, exactly how are they interpretable, or will they think that nato is too hesitant to accept ukraine , please t

good position on the battlefield, er, so that ukraine can get what it wants, er, we will support ukraineo have success and victory and how does she see it we will uh-uh support this uh-huh so uh-huh i hope that uh-huh i want to underline once again that the ukrainian people can help the usa from today and tomorrow the day after tomorrow until the end of this war and after uh - when uh-uh already uh-uh there is territorial integrity uh-uh and uh-huh and there freedom a-ah in all of ukraine thank you thank you for this inclusion, andreia kallan, officially a representative of the us state department, was a guest of our broadcast, we talked about behind the scenes of the tone itself and how the biden administration evaluates the conversation, in particular, with president zelensky, which took place yesterday . thank you for your activity in the chat, do not forget to subscribe to the youtube channel radio svoboda, if you haven't done it yet , we'll meet you on the air tomorrow, as usual. veteri news on espresso in the studio of anzhelika sezonenko all shot down the russians at night attacke

nato ukraine council.nts on ukraine's journey to membership. that is complemented by the declaration of the g7 allies that provide long—term multilateral security, guarantees, something that i spoke about in february at the munich conference. what shall see as other countries signing up to the same pledge, it won'tjust be the g7, it'll be... if you take all of us together, you have got is, president zelensky�*s words are probably better, the outcome of the vilnius summit is a meaningful success for ukraine. he is bringing home significant security, victory, the ukraine, for his country and for its people. those were president zelensky�*s words about what is the summit has achieved for him and his people. i'm very proud, as should everyone be, that the uk has had a leading role in that outcome. with regard to your other question, i am absolutely laser focused on delivering for the british people. their priorities are my priorities, having inflation, because that is the best way we can ease the burden on the

he believes that ukraine already needs the transformation of the ukraine nato commission of the old, more than 25-year-old ukraine nato council, it is already will be a huge step for nato and for ukraine, it will be a huge penalty if a decision is made in vinnytsia, also the official prague does not see the need for a military alliance in this verbal military alliance since bukharev, precisely in 2008. the czech republic believes that ukraine can be in nato without a military alliance for in the finnish way, just directly, without an action plan regarding membership, but immediately after the finnish one, and obviously the swedish one, which will join soon. also, petra pavlo believes that there should be some kind of financial support for ukraine, be it weapons or finances, but a permanent plan to support ukraine, he also advocates for some guarantees, clear security guarantees for ukraine, believing that ukraine can become a member of nato but after the war, that is, not during the war, this is excluded but after the war, ukraine could become a member of nato , the czech president a

we are very effective in defending them in ukraine . let's not leave ukraine now . they deserve our support. to the current bill that was approved by the house of representatives, this is a great question because the approved defense budget bill 224th year that was voted today in the house of representatives may still change because the senate will vote on its version of this bill next week, i will note that it is not very different in the context of aid ukraine but nevertheless, during the consideration of everything , other amendments and other demands will also be raised, and after the versions of the senate and the house of representatives are agreed upon, there will be a conference of both chambers where they will decide on the agreed text of this bill and there will be another re-voting. thank you, katya. we will monitor this vote. my colleague kateryna lisova was in contact with the congress. she worked as a physical education teacher at school until 2017. her son was killed in the war two years before that. lyudmila lost another son, also a military man, who

, the political ties between the alliance and ukraine were renewed here, the ukraine nato council washis format will allow deepening cooperation and avoiding blocking hungary, for example, not will be able to prevent him from meeting, as was the case with the commission, and ukraine can initiate the meeting itself as regular such crisis and at different levels were also agreed by the allies of the long-term support of ukraine at the level nato will allocate 500 million euros every year so that, accordingly, the ukrainian army could switch from soviet standards to nato standards and shorten the path to the alliance in the country by agreeing to eliminate the membership action plan through which the entire eastern flank of the alliance actually passed. and they agreed to undertake obligations in the field of security in the corresponding declaration signed by the countries of the group of seven, this starts a process in which each of our countries and any other country that considers participating will conduct negotiations on long-term bilateral obligations in in the field of security w

must admit ukraine, ukraine argues that ukraine needs n.a.t.o. and n.a.t.o. needs ukraine and they're awaiting this important summit meeting. last year in madrid, n.a.t.o. leaders gathered and there adopted new strategic concepts which shifted the thinking on russia, formalized the shift in thinking and now i think there's a lot of anticipation in how that would deal with ukraine itself. let's start off with the summit hosts, we're thrilled to welcome back to washington, i dare say, i want to call you mr. ambassador because i mentioned before the event you come with very high praise from my colleagues who i worked with in the george w. bush administration and the bush white house who partnered with you when you were the ambassador here in washington so i'd like to call you ziggy, and that's what everybody calls you, mr. ambassador, mr. chairman, welcome to washington. how is it going and what are the hosts now thinking as it comes to the summit? >> well, i remember our last event, was it three months ago with polish, ukrainian chairs with sitting here and the

goodbye live from london to ethereum of ukraine.ent zelenskyi demanded from the alliance the specifics of specific time frames for ukraine's accession, however, at the moment , vilnius has not named specific terms, so will ukraine's path to nato become shorter and easier

ukraine, they create a buffer the so-called zone around the perimeter of ukraine and also around thec sea around the black sea where putin can come up with something to do. maybe he wants to actually get closer to nato from all sides, and that's why i don't think it's necessary to catch what medvedi says or what he says putin should not be expected to build some kind of security politicians, judging by their words, mr. colonel , do the nato countries and the western world leave any possibility for putin to get out of this war and sit down at the negotiating table and become a person who will shake hands in the west. a very good question and the answer is no. putin is not the one who will sit down at the negotiating table. the person wants to win and if he is in an empty situation, he never agreed to negotiations. we have to consider this war or ukraine in pieces. must really reach such a level to feel in a position when today we can sit down at the negotiating table , of course, time will tell us. but i believe that if we expect any negotiations with putin, it is simply wrong, it wil

we are now supporting ukraine.e will enhance cooperation between ukraine and nato i think the perspective of ukraine having a future in nato will be underlined there are discussions among the g7 sector of security guarantees assurances that this is outside nato i expect that to be discussed here at the summit thank you. >> reporter: okay. that was the norway prime minister speaking there. now we have the lithuania president who we had an interview yesterday. let's listen in to what he has to say now. what we have now is the lithuanian president just speaking about the situation and about what happens next for ukraine. he just mentioned the words if the war is over. i think it is important to point out that actually what nato can do with ukraine as a partner during war time which is different from medium-to-longer term with ukraine once the war is over. it is worth raising this point at this time is under the convention, rule book, pretty much for nato, you cannot invite a member with a territory dispute within bord

personnel inside ukraine.e some other limit, or does this suggest to president zelenskyy that whatever he needs ultimately he will get? >> the president has been very clear from the very beginning of this conflict about two things that have been unwavering. first, the united states is not going to war with russia in united ukraine. second, the united states is not providing weapons to attack russia. we don't encourage or enable attacks on russian territory from ukraine. the question of weapon systems has evolved as the conflict evolved. those two fundamental presceps were true from the start and will remain. >> would you sign it? >> i can't give the specifics on that because, you know, i'll let the internal processes kind of have their sanctity. but he approved it, as i said, after a unanimous recommendation from his national security team. >> you said that nato is stronger than ever at this point. what does it say that there are two nato members who have been holding up sweden's ability to join the alliance f

of ukraine in the alliance. and we are ready to grant them this membership when all members of the alliance agree to it and when all conditions are met well, you can see that the difference between these statements is very small, that is, all uh countries must agree, but this is an obvious fact, since it corresponds to the nato procedure, this is so clear that there must be a complete consensus. so this language and this wording is somewhat weak, a question arises why did it look like there was complete agreement that what we are talking about at the summit is not about actual membership of ukraine in nato, because everyone, including president zelenskyi , said that we cannot expect ukraine to be granted membership instantly while the war is going on - this not realistic, we hope that it will be after the war, but the question was about the invitation to membership formally, a formal procedure with in my opinion, despite the fact that this is a formal procedure, it has great political significance and it would b

[laughter] first, on the agreement with ukraine. you saw evidence of this with the g7 announcement, we can expect that countries will execute bilateral agreements with ukraine going forward and certainly we will as well and that's a work in progress. but i would tell you our part of that, the chairman and i are focused on not only making sure that ukraine has what it needs to be successful today, but we also have to make sure that they have a capability to defend themselves in the future and to deter aggression in the future. so while we're doing what's necessary to make sure that they can be successful today, we're also going to have to work with allies and partners to build a future force. and so that's a hard work that's got to happen. and right now we're kind of at that point where we're doing both simultaneously. so you see that in some cases, we have invested in some things that because they have to be produced, will not materialize until a couple of months or a year down the road. but those kinds of things help provide the ca

too late, if all this had been given to ukraine from the very beginning, ukraine would be much betterbattlefield than it is today, and therefore pressuring ukraine to launch its counteroffensive without air cover appears to be a very unreasonable decision from a military point of view, which greatly complicates the life of ukraine. i do not want to be ungrateful , because in general, we in ukraine pay tribute to our to our friends, our western partner, if it were not for their timely emphasis on their time for help, most people would be killed, we understand that it would be as big as maltose, there would be a coffee debacle, many would be shot, someone would be demonstratively executed or hanged, but we received help, and at the same time, we are also aware that this help may not be enough, at the same time we understand that in order to strategically decide the course of the campaign, we need the same f-16 aircraft to destroy enemy logistics centers. general zaluzhny speaks very clearly about this , in particular in those interviews that appeared in the west , we understand that the

the tie to ukraine is now. we want to increase aid to ukraine many months ago. looks at the political aspect. >> some were a bit surprised. everything possible could be done to assist ukraine and has been done. that sounds exhausting if you float that idea. despite the fact aid from the unitedm states has been the greatest in termshe of volume. also measure it in terms of capabilitynd and proportion. you see, the distinguishing future of the united states by comparison of other countries. they provide the capabilities. now, of course, ukraine is paying the price. that reluctance is repeated in the face. this is f not the case ukraine n be aided without triggering the escalation of peoples fear. it's together with nuclear weapons. the second thing that sounds surprising is if you look at it from this context that's aid to ukraine has been successful. it's the necessaricy of supporting ukraine and not provoking the nuclear escalation. that defines success as no nuclear launch. they would be launched in the first place. wheneverin we hear people laying out their ex

too late, if all this had been provided to ukraine from the very beginning, ukraine would be in a muchr position on the battlefield than it is today, and therefore put pressure on ukraine to start its a counteroffensive without air cover appears to be a very unreasonable decision from a military point of view, which greatly complicates the life of ukraine. i do not want to be ungrateful, because in general, we in ukraine pay tribute to our western friends, our western partners, if it were not for their timely help, most of the people would have been killed. we understand that it would have been as big as the sodus, there would have been a rout, many would have been shot, someone would have been demonstrably executed or hanged, but we received help and at the same time we are also aware that this help is possible at the same time, we do not understand enough that in order to strategically decide the course of the company, we need aviation, the same f-16s, in order to destroy the enemy's logistics centers. we need etecams systems above the commander-in-chief of the main command of the ar

of ukraine , article 225 of the rules of procedure of the verkhovna rada of ukraine council of ukraine i am putting to the vote a proposal to send a parliamentary request to the president of ukraine , i am asking you to vote for 267 decisions adopted eternal memory forever glory to our heroes thank you ruslan sich thank you dear colleagues further we have 94 801 correctly this is a draft resolution on some issues of the implementation of inter-parliamentary control of ukraine on the issue of receiving and using international material and technical assistance during martial law i propose to consider this issue in a shortened according to the procedure, i ask you to vote for 239, the decision has been made dear colleagues , please oleksandr oleksandr yurina and then dear colleagues, we can immediately vote after that after the speech, oleksandr european solidarity, let's give 2 minutes of european solidarity after oleksandria yuryivna, let's vote for her, please oleksandr yuriyovych dear colleagues, now you will vote on the report of the temporary special commission, which for a year has

and ukraine is alive and this is the most important thing for us who love ukraine and who see ukraine after 1000 km. of course, i was uh earlier for me it was the time of the flight from vilnius to kiev uh now it takes almost two days to get there to kyiv well, this will pass everything will pass and everything will be restored to the way it was and i am sure that it is even better and that some quest you are changing . in kherson, well, well, there, there, yes, there, but they go there, they don’t come, and we all work for children. so, i think this is only the last visit of mine, and it will be necessary to come again. you are one of the top journalists in lithuania, without exaggeration, everyone knows you. in lithuania, every person is me personally you are the host of the most popular television shows in lithuania, you were convinced of this, the ukrainians learned a lot about you when you fully took our side in the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia and you announced the first among all fundraising initiatives about funds for ukraine, and you decided to present a ver

so me to ukraine. how is it going to be different from the commission that took need to train that could be blocked by se hungry or any other members and had issues functioning? how technically can be, how these can be technically achieve. thank you shuffle. so it says what just asked for today's meeting, as well as the security guarantees. first, i would like to tell you that these are not a silvery aspects. we don't have real security guarantees from our partners. i mean, legally, we have actual security guarantees. there is financial, there is guarantees in the form of sanctions, there's assistance and defensive support, and that could be the 1st legal document that symbolizes the fact that we have a, a sort of a security umbrella. a force don't command later own ukraine will have uh, uh, by electro. don't commence with every security get rented for ukraine and it won't cover all those aspects that we already have for those aspects that we're lacking. now, like eric defends, like aircrafts, like mil

hmm regarding ukraine. that in reality nato is much weaker than us. thought, and in fact, of course, in the west, there are sensible politicians and now they would say that now is just a good time to stop. we already have a huge number of hundreds of thousands of victims in ukraine, elections are coming soon and it would be good to make peace, because there will be economic social political consequences of this war, when it all ends and these consequences will be all over the world. and now is just a good moment to come to peace, the sooner the better, but this is not what we are really shown. will be very strong, especially in the context of the upcoming elections, because we can hardly expect a quick victory, but they really count on it, and they will try, and use their opportunities to the maximum, the results by the time of the elections may be even worse than we see now , again, here is the situation with the actions of the russian troops and there may be negative consequences for the government for eu

personal inside ukraine? [indiscernible] >> the president has been clear from the beginning of this conflict about two things. first, the united states is not going to war with russia and ukraine. second, the united states is not providing weapons to ukraine to attack russia. we do not encourage attacks on russian territory from ukraine. the question of weapons systems has evolved as the conflict has evolved, those two fundamental precepts have been true from the start and will be true tomorrow. i cannot give you the specifics on that because -- the internal processes have their sanctity. he approved it after a unanimous recommendation from his national security team. >> you said nato is strong or than ever at this point. what does it say there are two nato members -- ability to join the alliance for more than a year now? >> the last nato ally to come into the alliance before finland was montenegro. it took something like 19 months for them to come in. i think a lot of people's perceptions about the process h

if there is any threat to ukraine, that is why ukraine can initiate this nato council. it is very prestigious to have a council instead of a commission ukraine nato is also clear that nato will provide security guarantees of some kind and will also supply weapons and 500 million euros will be given annually to help ukraine with weapons . the words of stoppinga literally said that the allies were obliged to allocate 2% of gdp for defense, and this is not just some kind of ceiling. and this minimum of two plus to allocate in the future, now only 11 countries fulfill this requirement from the 31st as well in nato adopted defense plans uh for especially for the eastern flank uh 300,000 soldiers will be ready to be located in the hot spots if there is some uh trouble in the east and some kind of crisis on the territory of nato nato is reviewing this wartime concept if before when by the way, the war in donbas began, nato wanted to say so, if russia attacks someone, for example, a baltic state, then first nato retreats, so to speak, and then the territory is already vacated a

ukrainian courts were transferred from ukraine and that is, putin does not understand ukraine with wordsunderstands actions, active actions, but in fact he knows how to use words, he threatens, he blackmails, so the west must understand this in order to bring putin to his senses, would one aircraft carrier in the black sea be enough, an american aircraft carrier of course, eh ? make them yourself and it's not too late, but but for now we need to invest more in order to really have a certain leverage, the ukrainian population should be focused on creating such an air power of drones that can be used against putin, former british intelligence officer m mi-6 christopher steele says that russia has practically given up the idea of ​​defeating ukraine with its weapons on the battlefield, let's hear what mr. steele said. i think that russia has practically given up the idea of ​​defeating ukraine in a military way on the battlefield and the latest series of attacks to odesa, kyiv as an attempt to pressure, not only on ukraine, but also globally, what we are currently observing is an attack on

nato can give ukraine the necessary institutional certainty for ukraine it is important that this council be an instrument of integration and not just a partnership, president zelenskyi said about the conditions for holding the invitation to nato we we count on the specifics and the need for effective security guarantees. well, a few minutes ago, the g7 countries announced long-term and indefinite commitments to ukraine, and it is noted that countries that are not part of the g7 can also join them , they are invited to join these commitments include the supply of modern military equipment on land, in the air and at sea under the leadership of the ukrainian military, the exchange of intelligence and assistance in the field of cyber defense, and in exchange for all this, kyiv undertakes to carry out reforms in particular of the judicial system and civilian control over the armed forces, the national security agency is investigating the death of soldiers during defensive measures in rivne region, this is its press service of the national security agency in the commentary of ukrainian pravda,

the way to ukraine's nato membership in nato in the future jens stolberg ukraine ukraine is now closer to nato than ever before allies confirmed that ukraine will become a member of the alliance, and they agreed to cancel the requirement for an action plan for membership . so, for ukraine , vilnius is really a turning point . they did not receive the maximum bar for the poorer, these fish reached the time frame invited to the alliance for joining the alliance, but all the same it is a turning point and it goes down in history and the declaration on security guarantees is framework for now and that is what will not be necessary according to the action plan regarding the membership has already skipped this stage, directly by the zefin option, by the swedish option, without pdc, directly, despite the accelerated procedure, further, in addition to the declaration and the map, the council that already spoke ukraine, nato was created, this is also a great achievement. so, in fact, also well, you have to understand that ukraine has made it clear that the west should not look back at russia al

he added that ukraine's struggle for freedom is a marathon, not a sprint to meet ukraine's urgent need for air defense and ammunition, as well as a long-term one. support for ukraine, these were the main topics of the meeting , which took place in virtual mode in washington, according to his progress, it is already ostap yarysh , we have the opportunity to talk with him right now ostapa i congratulate you natalya what did the participants of this 14th meeting of the contact group agree on ? that's right, natalya, we know that such meetings in the rammstein format are an opportunity for the defense ministers of different countries to check their clocks and support ukraine for the future, as you already correctly mentioned the three main focuses of this meeting on the 14th in a virtual format are air defense, ammunition and also long-term support, but still it is the secretary of defense of the united states who singled out and drew attention to what the allies agreed to build up and strengthen the production of their own defense complexes in order to be able to keep up with the pace of

we brought the roof to dadahu, the war was rallied, the russians are growing, the main thing when ukraine is the marathon, the only news is today’s release to the general, what is the strategy and tactics of protecting and liberating ukrainian lands impresses even experienced colleagues from nato, the armed forces of the armed forces of ukraine and valery zaluzhny ushchent dispelled the myth about the invincibility of the russian army and defeating russia is now just a matter of time for us. yes, and each of us understands this and has hope is doing everything possible for our common victory well, we will win because we have enough strength to stop the enemy at the beginning of the war, every day we find the strength step by step to return ours and we will definitely have enough strength to reach victory. glory to the defense forces of ukraine , we are going forward, we will show because we understand that our main wealth is our people, that is why we are happy for every ukrainian and the ukrainians we managed to save, we will present because we know that there is no small help and we are

it's wait, it's it bodiff of ukraine to free all ukraine including western ukraine, respectively.f numbers, just the composition of the armed forces present in ukraine. what is the reserve composition of 50,000, for example, that our headquarters is already counting something happy day, only we have dough. how much time. is it really that nothing has been calculated, if i introduce myself, respectively , the data of the official reserves, respectively, i remind you that the latest data assume that we will run out of 50.000 euros, and we won. i mean that i mean that , judging by the latest statements on economic statements, the war and the conflict that is now going on, it will be decided not on the basis of the military component, and he decides these grounds for the war, which constitute the grounds for the economic domestic political component , this is what pushes countries to be sentenced to positions, and they, respectively, are military components at the moment when zelensky did not bring any military components to the nato summit. although it was required. he promised him t

the open aggression of the president of ukraine , they put close the sky over ukraine , give ukraineong-range business, give ukraine tanks, artillery, from now on, we will be nothing to ask, we have a certain level, we know what level we need, and we know what will happen if the situation suddenly worsens, a consultation mechanism has been laid down , a rapid reaction system has been laid down, how each country that signed this document will react and help ukraine , the current summit in vilnius is not the last stop on ukraine's path to nato the next station - washington, the capital of the usa itself will receive from the alliance in 2024 iryna ivanova oleg nevidmskyi details of the european bureau of the tv channel inter marathon single news the way to nato became shorter but did not become faster, so the ministry of foreign affairs commented on the results of the alliance itself in order to put all the dots on and in kyiv's evaluations of the vilnius decisions . so kind, does this mean that the results of this summit almost meet our expectations? yes, i absolutely agree with this.

ukraine as we have seen — to ukraine on the ground?s we have seen have _ to ukraine on the ground? ukraine as we have seen have been _ to ukraine on the ground? ukraine as we have seen have been able - to ukraine on the ground? ukraine as we have seen have been able to - we have seen have been able to advance on the battlefield but only very slowly and that is because of the minefields and the changes that have been put in place by the russians as defensive measures to prevent the ukrainians from advancing. using these types of munitions will substitute single shot artillery shells, they will cover more ground and they will force the russians to have to withdraw their personnel to avoid these types of weapons. that will make it more feasible for ukrainians to advance. ., ., , ~ .., , to advance. there are many americans who provide — to advance. there are many americans who provide president _ to advance. there are many americans who provide president biden _ who provide president biden assisting ukraine. one other thing ukraine has as

are they going to fight for ukraine? so why would we credit an article 5 commitment to ukraine? and then i think there's a risk that we're that to happen. um you have other very vulnerable countries like the baltic states, for example. wondering hey, wait a minute, which kind of article 5 guarantee do we have? do we have the kind that france and germany had a, you know, france had during the cold war and germany had starting and west germany had started in the fifty's. or do we have some other ukraine type, article 5 guarantee that means something completely different. so what you're implying is that nato was never stand up to russia or nato. it wouldn't just never stand up to russia in ukraine under article 5. it is, it's a ukraine question right there. if we granted an article 5 security guarantee to ukraine and russia were to attack it, we would have really 2 choices. this right? react as though article 5 is a sacred commitment and as president biden has said, you know, the united states will defend every inch of nato territory if you'll forgive the imperial measurements. and

if putin succeeds in ukraine, he won't stop at ukraine. and i also am interested in the sponsor of this amendment's remarks that the u.s. shouldn't care about what goes on in the rest of the world, which i guess means we shouldn't care about what's going on in china. the purpose of all of this is deterrence. we want to deter russia from going further than ukraine. he want to deter china from thinking they can use military force to claim sovereign territory. deterrence is what will stop u.s. service members from winding up dying in a war. we need to support ukraine. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. kamlager-dove: mr. speaker, do i have any more time? chaip there's one minute -- the chair: there's one minute remaining. the chair: the yield the final minute to representative smith. mr. smith: building off of that is really important. i think the president and a whole lot of people have explained what we're doing in ukraine. we should not fight every war everywhere, i agree with that. it's why i strongly supported getting us out o

that ukraine must be dismembered, that russia has the right to some part of ukraine, it must be seizedns, they started talking about it again as something very active about what, er, let's offer everyone else to seize some parts of ukraine, it must be said that no one except russia in europe does this , no one creates national peoples except russia, this only what russia does all the time, and in fact it does it alone on the european account, then in this way, that is why all these conversations are conversations about how russia itself thinks in general and that these thoughts of theirs do not actually find anyone in anyone support, well, it is very noticeable on the broadcasts of other propagandists, he will most likely get what he wants, it seems that they are ready to give in to him, how, in what form, it will include him, no, no, no, of course, they will just give him everything he wants get all the weapons all the support you need does not include the ego of the official nato well, it would seem that nightingale is worried if he has been talking for more than a year about the fac

in unequal battle for 500 days, at the nato summit in vilnius they will talk about how to bring ukraine closer to the alliance, about this and much more. us an iron general for the enemies and uncle valera for the native army to the commander-in-chief hostage 50 liman in donetsk region was released 9 months ago but still lives under shelling, that's why i ukrainization the president's bill on the use of the english language welcome to the studio iryna koval and this is the news. summaries of the week. the pentagon and three days later they said that we would hold out for a week. during this time, our people stopped the enemy with their bare hands and drove them out of the sumy region. in kyiv, a drone was shot down with a can of canned cucumbers, our people are extraordinary and have proven it many times already , the armed forces of ukraine are holding the defense and even fighting back the so-called second army of the world for 500 days, deputy minister of defense hanna malyar said in the southern flanks around bakhmut, we have an advance in the north, fighting continues in bakhmut it

ukraine must receive security guarantees from the g7 countries . i think that there will be something fundamentally new . i think that it will be about the supply of weapons and financial support, but what is important is that countries are already taking it upon themselves as a long-term commitment, not only here and now accepted a political decision, for example, by this government, trudeau, tomorrow trudeau will leave, canada remains and it is important for us to have guarantees from canada and not from a specific government, the issue will be resolved today, mr. oleksiy , the conditions of the demand came out briefly. that is for the allies to confirm and assess whether ukraine is worthy and not to be a member of nato. how do you think or do you think ukraine has not yet proven that it is truly worthy what other practical steps need to be shown means ukraine's point of view has proven everything to everyone , but we see that they do not dare too much to take this courageous step a-ah and still fear of russia let's call things by their names he

glory to ukraine glory to ukraine well, you see, uh. here. said that radical nationalism in ukraine always acquires anti-russian forms and anti-jewish, it seems to me like this. uh, a combination that cannot be otherwise manifest itself in this territory, because ukrainian radical nationalism opposes itself to those peoples who, uh, live nearby, who are close by. after that, ukraine was in the composition. er, in the soviet union, for some time , some parts of ukraine were under german occupation, but no, er, ukrainian statehood. e, during the period of the german occupation did not exist, but the same story repeated itself, as the scarpathian nationalist forces hoped that they were taken seriously by the bandara. yes, in that including bandera yes, they will be given a chance to create their own statehood, and in the first and second cases, the german authorities who stood behind them they did not even consider this option, on the contrary, it caused it , as far as i understand, hitler's germany anger from hitler and nazism diologists , beca

. nato members say that ukraine can only join when conditions are met. without setting a timeline. president soleski is joining a 2nd day of meetings in vilnius. also coming up the united states ripped by extreme weather president fight and declares a state of emergency in parts of the northeast as 2 months of rain falls in 2 days . and the mexican stand off, law officials held hostage are released by a drug gang. the criminals were trying to free some of their own gang leaders, the sarah kelly. welcome to the program. nato leaders are holding the 2nd day of their annual summit in vilnius lithuania, where they are do to meet with a disappointed below the mirror. as a landscape, the ukrainian president had hoped for securing a guarantee of joining the military alliance. but leaders agreed to use ukraine's path to membership without setting an actual timeline. now, nato's chief says that keith can only join when conditions are met. as a russian attacks rain driving on you crazy. the country's flag flies high over julius, the city, playing host and nature l

has aligned itself 100% with ukraine. result of that, i don't see much movement or much interest even on the part of the u.s. government in washington to be a third party, to actually be a negotiator, to find a peaceful resolution. really, no one is playing that role. the united nations is not playing that role. sweden is not playing that role anymore that it aspires to be a member of nato. there is no neutral party that really is playing the role of trying to end the conflict between the two parties, who are essentially stalled right now in combat, where there is not much movement on either side. the killing continues. it was the case that in the minds of russia, the expansion of nato was provocative and may in the theory of national security been a strategic threat to russia. it is probably the case when history is written, we will say that nato was a little bit too greedy in its zeal to expand into eastern europe. but the reality is that it does not exclude -- excuse the russian invasion in 2014 or 2022. the reality fo

ukraine.e ukrainians fall in love with ukraine. to love ukraine and understand what nato is, that it is the only option that can fully guarantee the security of ukraine . it is a pity that these people, who now all support joining nato, did not support it for 20 years or so. 25 years ago, i think that presidents kuchma, yushchenko, or poroshenko could only dream of this 89%. well, the question is that really no one there has done as much for the unity of the ukrainian nation as vladimir putin and the armed forces of russia. unfortunately, as a result of the deaths of tens of possible hundreds of thousands of ukrainians, this is a pity, but i still return to security guarantees, why last may year it was already because 2.5 months of aggression or even three and people believed that there would be security guarantees for us acceptable, now their number has decreased by one and a half times, that is, people do not really perceive security guarantees, they perceive a clearly signed document, artic

or ukraine.e international community so that we demonstrate the seriousness with which the united states takes these investigations. given the testimony we heard today, i hope that legislation is taken very swiftly by the committee and moved forward. also with your consultation i've introduced the atrocity crimes release and accountability act. a portion of the legislation was included and ukrainian refugees in the united states on the humanitarian role can share their stories and support the investigations related to war crimes and this also included the provision encouraging the u.s. government efforts to share evidence related to the atrocity of crimes in ukraine and i urge all of us to take up that mandate. i realize these things are just small steps in going forward and i continue to work with you in that regard. in the brief time we have, could you share with us, and you did so very forcefully about the need for acting together on establishing a special tribunal or working withholding putin

it was a year auo that bombs to the ukraine? it was a year ago that ukraine _ bombs to the ukraine?raine requested - bombs to the ukraine? it was a year ago that ukraine requested these i ago that ukraine requested these munitions, i imagine that reading between the lines, speculating that for the last year, president biden has been holding talks with various allies, trying to square all of this and trying to come to a conclusion on whether to send them are not because they had held off for some time. bearing in mind that these cluster munitions have been phased out by the us, they were phased out in 2016 due to the concerns around them which human rights watch have spoken about, the fact that these munitions can live on for years and years and pose a risk to civilians. they do have a huge supply of them ready to go and it seems like perhaps, they have decided it's fine to now export them. we are hearing and seeing there are some cracks in the coalition. germany has come out to condemn it, more than 120 countries, including nato members, do not agree with cluster munitions being sen

ukraine .boring states, but primarily ukraine it was their main fear that they would have to live with their mind or they would have to live without er to suck out the juices from ukraine , that is, they had a drug addict's fear of not being allowed to drink or the fear of thrush. as you said , yes, a vampire that they will protect the victim. this was actually theirs, but in general they despised the west very seriously . putin despised the west and in principle it was for

, other— munitions to provide to ukraine, other atties _ munitions to provide to ukraine, other alliese, other allies have not— munitions to provide to ukraine, other allies have not signed - munitions to provide to ukraine, other allies have not signed thel other allies have not signed the convention _ lots of news surrounding ukraine this evening. president zelensky speaking in just the last hour in istanbul — he has been in prague today where he has been calling on the nato alliance to supply him with longer range weapons he needs. but it is the white house decision to supply cluster munitions to ukraine which has divided the alliance. over 100 countries have signed up to a moratorium on cluster munitions — including the uk france and germany. let's talk about the counteroffensive because it has been slow to take hold. there are soldiers and western observers starting to wonder if a breakthrough is possible, or whether russia's defensive lines, built up and heavily—reinforced over the winter months, are simply too much of a barrier. today in prague, president zelensky said his count

ukraine was a member of nato, but it was still possible to convince them and show that ukraine is readylieve that we have already done and are doing enough to become a full member of nato because in fact we protect nato countries, but here the question is rather psychological. the question is to convince our allies, our partners , uh, nato member states, that ukraine deserves to become a full member of nato as soon as possible. that is, this question is rather psychological thank you thank you for this activation oleksandr mereshko people's deputy of ukraine chairman of the committee on foreign policy and inter-parliamentary cooperation was in touch with us, we talked about how ukraine will fulfill those the demands put forward by nato today, although minister kuleba called these demands not clear in the matter of ukraine moving towards the alliance, and in the occupied berdyansk of the zaporizhzhia region for the last day , explosions have been heard. this is reported in the telegram channel of the city's military administration. there were about ten of them, later it became known that

, so that ukraine has security guarantees, so that ukraine has to defend itself after the end of the war and until the moment joining nato is of course about a threat from russia. but aren't these, to some extent, mutually exclusive things, because in fact ukraine's victory should have been and should be russia's defeat, its inability to attack, and as a result of joining nato, and we hear about this this is the stretch of time between the victory and joining the alliance here. the fact is that neither we nor our western allies . in the current conditions, we cannot accurately predict what the end of this war will be. well, you understand what we would like to it was a complete breakdown of russian troops on the territory of ukraine, but our western partners they have a slightly different vision of what is happening on the battlefield how should this affect the end of the war on the victory of ukraine because our western partners well, we are not in vain talking about what we protect the entire civilized world and i am a part of the civilized world, and our western allies as civilize

that is, to deport children to ukraine from ukraine to russia.well, that is, it is completely unclear. what kind of escalation could there be from russia and how can the expansion of the security space thanks to nato be combined on the territory of ukraine with some theoretical possibilities to russify russia against russia only until it sees that ukraine does not have sufficient protection, but uh, but this is the opinion of the shol he obviously can't get rid of it at the same time at the same time we see that certain er german politicians er er in particular today the head of the german ukrainian group in the german bundestag robert wagner a-a robin robin excuse me robin wagner ot and he said clearly in his twitter what er ukraine should be accepted into nato as soon as possible because only nato provides this and that level of security that is necessary and all these security guarantees and intermediate er mean solutions they can be considered only as intermediate and temporary and must exist as short as possible, because amen, the israeli mo

they will also relate to the security of ukraine as a whole, whether ukraine is considering for itselfat the moment its own decision on full membership. security alliances are possible with individual members of nato , the signing of individual security agreements. it is possible that there are also consultations in this direction , or some kind of vision of ukraine, how it could be absolutely. you are right. negotiations are underway regarding what were multilateral but within the framework of the multilateral package of security guarantees bilateral agreements with each country regarding the provision of additional weapons regarding the dedication of prioritizing the provision of these weapons regarding financial support again within the framework of military programs first of all i emphasize once again when we speak about security guarantors, we are talking about the military component , about the fact that the military potential of ukraine , uh, that is, increased, and so on , taking into account what is happening along the line therefore, until ukraine becomes a member, the so-cal
