second, we will upgrade our political ties by establishing the nato-ukraine council. and third, i expect allied leaders will reaffirm that ukraine will become a member of nato. and unite on how to bring ukraine closer to its goal. allies have already pledged 500 million euros for critical needs, including fuel, medical supplies, demining equipment and pontoon bridges. we will also help build ukraine's security and defence sector, including with military hospitals. and we will help ukraine transition from soviet-era to nato equipment and standards. president zelenskyy will join us for the inaugural meeting of the new nato-ukraine council. this will be a platform for crisis consultation and decision-making. where we all sit as equals to address shared security concerns. at the summit, we will take further major steps to strengthen our deterrence and defense. with three new regional defense plans to counter the two main threats to our alliance, russia and terrorism. one plan for the north, the atlantic and european arctic. one for the center covering the , baltic region a

then you need to ukraine council as an instrument of integration. stressing again and again the decisions made here in building use are bringing ukraine closer to ne, till, and that is of course, what it's done. so back, also stress to and he's remarks emphasizing that allies are going to continue their military support for ukraine. there is, for instance, a multi your program of military assistance that ukraine will be granted. and they go over to you. uh, ukraine had help for a lot more formal invitation to join nato. for example. how does it pointed out? you finance? well, certainly, and that has been a lot of good disappointments, confusion in the ukraine press. no one was expecting that your membership wallace was active, but they certainly were expecting some kind of time table a lot simpler set. this doesn't actually look that much different to the kind of the woods that ukraine received back in 20 o 8 to the book or us the summit of nato. they say at the membership action plan that kind of previous list of homework to join nature has gone, but instead there's now 2 of conditions n

discovery spent of the night, the ukraine council and also the care commitment to move ukraine closer to a membership. so this was not the issue raised in annual. those are those meetings and i think it is extremely important to to recognize that the decisions you, i made the only dollars is the strongest, every message on ukraine, a membership that these alliance ever ever made the vide states and canada trains will. because remember that your prince future, it's in and nathan, also in describing the policy forward with the practical support for it and showing instead of affinity with a strength and the political ties with an a to train counsel. and then by removing the requirements for the membership actions on, then negotiations to solve the conflicting in ukraine will only happen when ukraine is ready for negotiations. and then after i say that again and again, nothing about your brain without your brain. uh well being, you know, is that so is that the more military we support, we provide a to ukraine. the more not they are able to liberate the stronger the time will be at the neg

, and the, the re, fav, remove the need for an action plan, and they've instituted based nato ukraine council. what is that expensive to do? well, this new need to create an account, so it's expected to upgrade the ukraine status with the alliance. they will be done able and the 1st meeting is going to take place tomorrow. they will be sitting at the table with old allies, they can race any issue they would like to speak about today will get access to more areas of corporation to more intelligence sharing which is important. but of course, it sounds a bit like a bureaucratic move, and i don't think that ukraine is very happy about that. as talking back also went on saying that, look, what do we want to do right now is to provide to quinn, would practical health with equipments, with the trainings, with money. and all of that is also being approved, key and bill and use. and individual allies have already nouns like friends, for instance, that they're going to deliver it new weapons to ukraine. but of course, what, what's important for kids is to, to have like a folder votes map to membership.

talk us through what it is. , , ., ukraine council. talk us through what it is-_ ukraine council.gh what it ia— what it is. this is going to be a new forum _ what it is. this is going to be a new forum that _ what it is. this is going to be a new forum that will _ what it is. this is going to be a new forum that will allow - what it is. this is going to be a i new forum that will allow ukraine and nato to engage in closer cooperation and closer integration. it will be something that is probably a net positive and gives ukraine more avenues to pursue euro atlantic integration. for ukraine more avenues to pursue euro atlantic integration.— atlantic integration. for a lot of observers _ atlantic integration. for a lot of observers come _ atlantic integration. for a lot of observers come it's _ atlantic integration. for a lot of observers come it's going - atlantic integration. for a lot of observers come it's going to . atlantic integration. for a lot of observers come it's going to be i observers come it's going to be something that looks pretty similar, i think him into the nato ru

they also created the ukraine nato council, its first meeting was held in vilnius. example, hungary willck the consultation, we agreed to cancel the requirement for ukraine to implement the action plan for nato membership, this changes ukraine's path from a two-stage process to a one-stage one , the results are good, but they could have been perfect, yes commented on the decision of the alliance of the president of ukraine that this is a technical signal, but if we deal not only with technology and bureaucracy and look at it as the southern factor of motivation of ukrainian society, then for me, as for the president, it was a very important moment, a very important moment, i really compare this fact with the moment as a candidate in the european union and in bilateral relations and in the dialogue between other states, i give this example, i spoke about this candidacy and it was a signal that the candidates do not have eu membership, but the candidates are confident and there is a powerful mobilization for ukraine and a powerful signal from russia. ukraine is not a member of any other un

so he welcome to establishment of the night the ukraine council and also the care commitment to move ukraine closer to a membership. so this was not the issue raised in any of those, those meetings. and i think it is extremely important to to recognize that the decisions you, i made the only dollars is the strongest, every message on ukraine, a membership that these alliance ever ever made the vide states and canada to train will. because remember that your prints future it's in and nathan, also in describing the path forward with the practical support for it and showing interoperability with a strength and the political ties with the need to train counsel. and then by removing the requirements for the membership action time, then.

alliance. president without him is a landscape today joined all the latest at the 1st and they to ukraine council. as part of the groups, annual summit is appearing alongside may, so it's easier to stop and back in vilnius. savanski said he was confident ukraine would become, and they told me in the off to russia's will. nato leaders have agreed to simplify ukraine's pulse to membership. but failed to set a firm timeline for it to join spoken, but said it was now more important to provide ukraine with enough weapons to win against russia. so that's chaos nato countries to give you credit security guarantees while it waits for membership as the gym. and therefore, we greatly appreciate the recognition that ukraine will not need a membership action plan or no way to joining nato. and i would like to make progress at the summit for everyone. i'm super soldiers for children, for everyone, particularly in terms of security guarantees. and that's which are so important for the people. yes, you have a security guarantee on the cetera, one or wait to joining nato, that's not instead of nato easterwood se

equal as a partner in this council, ukraine can initiate such councils on its own initiative when iteels the need to do so, for example, to be strongly fenced off or something like that. it is also very interesting that earlier ukraine had a little trouble with russia, because in in 2002, russia created the russia-nato council with nato, but when the annexation of crimea and the war in donbass began, nato no longer convened this council with russia. and now ukraine will have a council with nato . that's very prestigious, it's very cool. that's because you take relations to a higher level. of ukraine and the north atlantic alliance olezhe thank you very much rostislav rostislav khotyn international viewer of radio svoboda about the events in lithuania and what to expect from the second day of the nato summit , the confidence of the member countries that ukraine will join nato is now much higher than in 2008 2018 at the summit in bucharest, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, expressed this opinion in an exclusive interview with radio liberty, while commenting on

one thing that you cried did get to, hey, though, is, is this talk of a nato ukraine council with ukraine as a full member of this council? what is this comes? well, it sounds a bit bureaucratic that we are now talking about. the new council for ukraine, but nato officials have been telling me that it is really an important upgrades of nature of ukraine's status with the alliance because of this council. and we're going to see a 1st meeting of this nature. you queen council tomorrow. ukraine will be sitting at the table with old nato countries as an equal partner. they can race any issue they would like to. not only those issues concerning the more as they were 5. the x is too much more much more areas of cooperation and intelligence sharing. so it is a waiting for ukraine. nato officials say, however, it's of course not enough. as far as it is. that landscape has been speaking in a veil. yes. what have you heard from him? well, i think it was very interesting that says then zalinski decided to address the crowds in billing news before meeting with the nato leaders here in the zone youth.

work to bring ukraine's defense up to his standards on increasing cooperation through a nato ukraine council. we reaffirmed that ukraine wrote become a member of nato and agreed to remove the requirements for the membership function time. so this will change your cranes membership pos from a 2 step process to one step process. we also made clear that we will issue an invitation for ukraine to join. they don't when all of us agree and conditions are met. i speak to john a how, whose following developments in vilnius, i think the main take away from all of that gender is that ukraine will not be getting a time table for membership. any time soon? right. this? yes, i nato's support for ukraine is unflinching and unquestioned. but it is that very aspect that ukraine was waiting for most keenly in the final wording that was agreed. we were told by gen, spelled but by the allies during the course of the day, around a declaration to do with its membership. would it join? how would it join? when would it join? and that wording to repeat. what mister stoughton book said was, the allies will extend an

for the first time the president of ukraine got a seat at the table as a member of the new ukraine nato council and now he can convene meetings as an equal partner the day before, the ukrainian leader himself said it was absurd that nato does not say when and how ukraine will be able to join the alliance . zelenskyi is already more optimistic today. i think it is absolutely fair. i am sure that after the war, after the war, ukraine will be in nato, and we will do everything for it. to make a sense of confidence came after meeting with allies, for example with the prime minister of britain , who did not spare warm words in sumy, he came not empty-handed but with a plan of security guarantees for ukraine before the country can join the alliance, these guarantees provide not too much, but they are promised by individual countries, such as the representatives of the big seven, they gathered for a meeting this morning, the proposal will include more military training programs , more ammunition and weapons, but also more intelligence and technical support, which is guaranteed in the long term, in ord

and hold its first meeting at the summit, we are working on creating a new ukraine nato council where ukraine will be at the level allies from the alliance, our stage is to hold the first meeting of the new council in vilnius with ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky, nato's doors are open, ukraine will become a member of the alliance, this is the decision of the allies and ukraine according to the secretary general, russia does not have the right to veto. this format prepares for a political no and whether the first meeting of this council will be held with the participation of the president of ukraine is still under question. they say that the biggest possible solution will be the transformation of the ukraine nato commission into the ukraine nato council that we don't need a change of format per se that the russia nato council still exists imagine that at the vilnius summit there will be no response to the request made by the president more than six months ago. what signal will this give to the aggressor? a bad signal for all of us, but a very good one. and a pleasant signa

russia does not have a council, i am a council of ukraine, ukraine can initiate any meetings, it remainsrument called russia is a permanent member of the un security council, this is the next task, and believe me with president zelensky, this task will be fulfilled in the same way as subjectivity for nato, that's all what we are saying now, i clearly record that this very historical reason, he significantly raised the status of ukraine, gave us subjectivity and said that we will give you everything you need in priority order, same, same positive, so easy to say, i would just continue about it, it's just not entirely clear, again, how will this format , ukraine, nato is happy to work because, on the one hand, mr. zhovkva, the deputy head of the whole president, noted that it should not be just a platform for discourse, but yehor june, a people's deputy of ukraine. he said that he would like to have specifics reached at these meetings again, and we received a concrete plan of what we still have to do or have not done, and that from meeting to meeting from a month to we carried out this pla

the first emergency meeting of the nato- ukraine council was held. and predictability of the black seathank you all for the meaningful work of today's council ukraine nato italy recognized the holodomor as genocide of the ukrainian people appropriate decision approved by the country's senate, 130 of its representatives voted for none, but four abstained. president zelensky thanked the upper house of italy and also emphasized that it is extremely important for the world to recognize the historical truth. in addition, such a decision has already been adopted by more than 30 countries and the european parliament, among other topics, successful cases of ukrainians abroad more than 29 thousand of our compatriots have registered as entrepreneurs and started their activities in poland since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, our film crew visited a ukrainian woman who started her own business in warsaw will tell more. maria chernihivska is not allowed to enter for citizens of the russian federation. this is the first thing visitors see when they open the doors of a ukrainian kindergart

closer to an a to a multi year program or practical assistance establishing and you need to ukraine, council and then the affirming that ukraine will become a member of nato. and removing the requirement for the membership actions that are in use. multi i program over systems for ukraine will help to transition from sort the era to nate to equipment and standards. i will make ukraine's forces fully interoperable with nate, the the no girl meeting of the night, the recruiting counsel was stopped in a few minutes. this is a forum where you, craig, and i need to allies will meet us equals hold crisis consultations and jointly take the stations or ukraine is not closer tonight. so than ever before, i lost reaffirmed that ukraine will become a member of the lines and agreed to remove the requirement for a membership back some time. this will change ukraine's membership pos from a 2 step process to one step process. and we will issue an invitation for ukraine to join nato. when i let us agree, but conditions are much. this is a strong united message from allies on your part to nate to membership.

work to bring ukraine's defense up to it. standards want increasing corporation through a nato ukraine council. a, we reaffirmed that ukraine wrote become a member of nato and agreed to remove the requirements for the membership function time. this will change your cranes membership pos from a 2 step process to one step process. we also made clear that we will issue an invitation for ukraine to join. they don't when all of us agree on that, the conditions are met. i'd speak now to joe in a holla, who is following developments invalid and this, and it's quite clear, i think, john, or is it not from the statements of stilton that there is not going to be a timeline for you kindly membership any time soon? right. you know, he was pretty clear on that jen stoughton, but in that press conference and it's really the last bit of that would in which he's crucial this idea of the be allies will issue an invitation to ukraine to join when they agree that the time is right, and when conditions are met and apart from the vagueness about exactly what those conditions are, he made quite a lot of this idea o

simplifies such in a nutshell, it's so straight-forward, expensive, and then the creation of the ukraine-nato council instead of the stolen commission. let me remind you that this ukraine-nato commission was already created 20 more than 25 years ago, which gives, firstly, a higher level , and secondly, ukraine will already be an equal partner with nato with nato countries, thirdly, ukraine can itself now convene the council of ukraine, nato, and not wait for the nato commission to call, and kyiv has already initiated the council itself, and by the way, budapest, hungary will not be able to block it , so that is also an important moment, extremely important news, an extremely important day and we will keep our finger on the pulse thank you for your trust see you tomorrow on the air svoboda life i have discounts on dog balm 10% in pharmacies traveller, bam and save pain can become an obstacle walking stairs not with my knees from knee pain try dolgit cream dolgit relieves pain, reduces swelling and improves mobility of the joints is also possible on foot, the only yellow cream for joint pain is always

ukraine closer to an a to a multi year program or practical assistance establishing and you need to ukraine council. and that he affirming that ukraine will become a member of nato. and removing the requirement for the membership actions that are all to need to equipment and standards. i will make ukraine's forces fully instead of approval with nate to the no girl meeting of the night through. queen council stopped in a few minutes. this is a forum where ukraine and they to our lives will meet us equals the whole crisis consultations and jointly take the stations. ukraine is not closer to nate to than ever before. i lies, reaffirmed that ukraine will become a member of the lines and agreed to remove the requirement for a membership back some time. this will change ukraine's membership off from a 2 step process to one step process. and we will issue an invitation for ukraine to join nato when i let us agree, but conditions on it. this is a strong united message from allies on your part to nate to membership. we must ensure that when this war ends, there are credible arrangements in place for ukraine

andrii, you know me, but you mentioned the ukraine council in nato, i would er quote a quote from one of your deputies , panazhokov, who said that there is no council of ukraine in nato, it should not be another platform for discussions, it should be direct a clear path for the introduction of ukraine into nato, let's hope that this council of some kind was created and will actually be in this direct way , i am currently talking about these same security guarantees, it is not only about military aid , but also energy support and financial support, you can go into more detail about these the security guarantees that we receive during 23-24 y-a, you know well , first of all, there are these guarantees, they will er-er work until the moment when ukraine er-er becomes a full-fledged member of nato and definitely you are right that er-er they are not only military help, this is financial help, help, this is a continuation of the sanctions policy, this is a large cooperation package and the development of ours, and that is the goal. i think it is important to look at the very large document

you need to ukraine council to be established soon off to the summit. and this is important because then ukraine will be able to sit at the table with all the nato countries as an equal partner. and they will have access to more area of corporation. and by stressing that the leaders will also reiterate their position and reaffirm their position that you claim will be a member of the alliance. but he also made clear that there are still working on the exact wording because he didn't want to go to into any details. what exactly that could mean a roadmap to membership or could the leaders say if the war is over? ukraine will be immediately admitted to the ally, and so that is still an open question. what's the, those will exactly decide doing their summit in building is now a to that business with the class, the bones that the us apparently wants to supply to ukraine. what's nato's position on this? so we press to, you installed them back a couple of times on that match, or because of course, these weapons are so controversial and band by more than a 100 co

ukraine nato, according to stoltenberg, this council is designed to strengthen the political ties of liance with kiev. nato countries also promised to agree on a plan for many years. support of the armed forces of ukraine i am announcing another delivery of critical equipment, including artillery ammunition for anti-tank systems and air surveillance radars, to help protect the ukrainian people from aerial bombardment, in fact, weapons pumping. the only thing that the nato countries did for ukraine and, according to experts, it is much more profitable for the west to use ukraine as an instrument of war with russia as a training ground without fully getting involved in open confrontation. how would you characterize the atmosphere that prevailed in vilnius yourself, like, as we remember, what threats ? well i don't i think that vladimir zelensky dreamed about this , but a certain group of outcasts, yes, some, and the ghostly membership in nato, she broke the situation. i would call it diverse and, to some extent, lostness , some kind of lostness, as for zelensky, this is just a blow to h

implemented at that time, do you remember the founding inaugural migration meeting of the ukraine nato council took place essentially behind closed doors, and after that, after the statement of the guitar-sitters, ukraine began to act, and why did it begin to act, and because suddenly there is a real threat to grain and we are facing a new summit of the ukraine nato council, and ukraine obviously hopes that nato will lend a shoulder and help transit the current year's harvest. well, it will deploy wider assistance with the fact that the ukrainian economy is really suffering not only due to the efforts of the aggressor and also due to the criminal activity of rabinovych there murayev, yesterday the court also arrested the deputy from the regional police oleksandr ponomaryov , who spent six months in the occupation in berdyansk and then calmly returned to himself in the winter this year, he began to calmly vote in the verkhovna rada, pass laws by which we will live later, but the upsj party is banned in ukraine. deputies elected from this party continue to govern the state. 30 three deputies in

move ukraine closer to nato and to strengthen political ties with the establishment of the nato-ukraine councilith the meeting tomorrow with president zelenskyy and remove requirement for the membership action plan. this will turn the membership process for ukraine from the two-step process into a one-step process. all of this will send a possitiv and strong message then allies will make important decisions to further strengthen defense with new defense plans and the more forces on the high readiness. we also agree and expect allies would agree ambitious investment pledge with 2% of gdp for defense is a minimum lastly, i look forward to welcoming our indo-pacific partners at the summit this will demonstrate that security is not regional security is global therefore, i welcome partners from australia, new zealand, south korea and japan. with that, i'm ready to take questions. >> steve sedgwick. cnbc security guarantees did not stop vladimir putin in 2014 the budapest memo was worthless piece of paper to him. the second point on the issue, ukraine has fears that security guarantees will change ov

he welcomes things like more military support, and a body, the ukraine nature council which met a coupleurs ago for the first time, it gives a more equal footing for conversations between ukraine and nato, as it is seen as part of integration. finally volodymyr zelensky wanted that invitation to become a nato member. didn't get that, so not completely for volodymyr zelensky. that, so not completely for volodymyrzelensky. in that, so not completely for volodymyr zelensky. in the next couple of hours, we are expected to hear from some of those nato leaders, those world leaders who have been part of the discussions to agree that offer to ukraine as part of the nato deal, and now that has been done and is public, and we have heard from the head of nato, now is a chance for individual readers, prime ministers, presidents, who have chatted with vorderman —— volodymyr zelensky and other leaders, we are waiting for them to come out and talk to us. we are waiting for rishi sunak, it is a bit of a dance. they don't want to talk at the same time so they try and schedule press appearances do not cla

ukraine , so we understand. and at the bilateral meetings that were held before the holding of the nato council of ukraine, it seems that there were five of them before the holding of the nato council of ukraine, five bilateral meetings, then there was the own council of ukraine nato, where for almost three hours every leader who sat at the round table, i.e. first they spoke in general, then president zelenskyi and then took the floor. each of the leaders did not have any dissatisfaction, and then after the nato council of ukraine, the president of ukraine held a bilateral meeting with president biden, for example, a very constructive meeting which lasted somewhere around 20 hours, it seems, well, quite a long time, since this is not the first meeting of the president of ukraine with president biden. therefore, there was no absolutely clear constructive conversation at these meetings they talked not only about the results of the e-ukraine summit, but today the nato council of ukraine talked about weapons, they talked about what new types of aid and weapons ukraine should receive from the united states of america an

of the council. ukraineo is one of the three elements of the package that we agreed today in order to ensure that ukraine even comes closer to nato standards, and the purpose of this is to strengthen political ties and ties between ukraine and nato, volodymyr zelenskyi the bottom line is that ukraine understands why it cannot be accepted into nato now, but is counting on it later, some are really afraid to talk about our membership in nato now because no one wants a world war and it is also clear and logical that ukraine will a member of nato and this is such confidence. in my opinion, from all my meetings before this, it sounded like this for the first time with confidence that we will be members of nato when the conditions are really appropriate , i understand by this that when it will be safe on our land, one of the final meetings will do everything you got what you need i am looking forward to the day when we will have a meeting we will celebrate with you the official membership in nato and i want to tha

and, you know, here we held the first, as you all know, nato ukraine council. we've talked about this beforehand, about the commitments, the security commitments we were going to make while it becomes official. until it becomes official. and i think that's important. and i want to tell you, when i got here, mr. president, and i started to sell that idea to other heads of state, there was no reluctance. there was no -- oh, i don't want to. everybody just said, ok. sign on. so it's real. you've done an enormous job, you have a lot more to do, i know. and i just think that, you know, we're going to make sure you get what you need. i look forward to the day when we're having the meeting, celebrating your official, official membership in nato. so thank you, what you're doing. and the bad news for you is, we're not going anywhere. [laughter] you're stuck with us. thank you. president zelenskyy: thank you very much, mr. president. and i will start, you said about 500 days. it's really -- really a difficult jolt for our people, soldiers and civilians, mothers and fathe

ukraine's communication with nato is moving to a higher level, because the concept of the ukraine-nato councilcompletely different from a commission, some bodies, by the way, and this has been going on for so long, i even remembered how much in 1997 or in 1998, when this ukraine nato commission started working later, because the bucharest commission was the same. on the other hand, we look at the result. you are a person who worked for quite a long time and worked in the diplomatic service at the ministry of foreign affairs, then you worked as the minister of infrastructure, that is , you had a lot of work related to communication with western partners , including the north atlantic alliance. what is the most important thing to sum up these are the 25 years that have passed. what has constantly prevented ukraine from joining nato, if russia is in uh, or has it always interfered internally, some useful idiots are also a question of uh, yanukovych with his there also with these uh-uh decisions and the fact that he took away from the military doctrine the clause about the uh -threat from russia,

the level of political cooperation, then in particular it is about the establishment of the ukraine nato councila multi-year support program and confirmation that ukraine has the prospect of becoming a member of nato. well, there are so many different words , but i did not understand the main thing. does this mean that ukraine will receive a political invitation in nato or how to understand it differently well, i think that the intrigue remains because certain actions are being carried out, that is, now there is still time for negotiations and ukraine is exerting a certain pressure that is exactly why the president of ukraine went to central european countries and will also visit turkey in order to receive a certain signal. i understand that these countries are not . every vote of nato members well, actually, that's why these signals are very important now. and i would certainly also like to see a not new such diplomatic envelope in bucharest itself in 2008, but there is really a clear signal in them not only that the door of nato open and that ukraine will become a member of nato, we are absolu

and, uh, councils ukraine nato council well , ukraine nato council, we went through this with the nato, i, uh , have no idea what this nato council of ukraine will do, because it will be consulted. yes, because if we talk about ukraine doesn’t have the strength to take any practical measures and there is no opportunity, even if, uh, a special war, the operation ended , uh, to do some practical things anyway. in ukraine, uh, there is no opportunity for this yet, but the second and third. again, they will proclaim that ukraine will someday become a member of nato. although i think that if such a decision, if such a decision is made, then how would it not e. as much as we don't want to, we can't stop. then you need to go to the very end until the change of regime before uh in general, so that this ukraine so that there is another ukraine which, so to speak, otherwise it will be a constant threat to our borders on our borders. they won't calm down then. accustomed to watching videos stopped working , install, open, watch russian channels and all series of movies and cartoons , educational
