support for ukraine. over the years, we've been warned of the far right's fascination with orban and the influence he can impose on this policy. obviously these warnings were warranted. ukraine's fight is our fight and anyone who tells you otherwise isn't paying attention. i encourage them to imagine a world in which putin is successful. should we fail to aid ukraine further, we'll hand putin a victory and he will expand his attacks. i've seen firsthand the devastation he's imposed in places like bucha, maternity hospitals in ruins and bodies piled in mass graves following the russian army's onslaught. our aid has contained this bloodshed for now but putin has plans far beyond ukraine. if putin were allowed to take ukraine, he will seek to reconstitute the former soviet union. he would form a federation with belarus and ukraine by installing puppet governments and then target moldova, the baltics, and others. should russia expand his attack and cross the border to one of these nato countries, we're bound

we intend to bring this good news from ukraine. inside ukraine, we have this cooperation. we have enjoyed freedom of religion and belief. we really protect this right. last but not least, our goal is to share our experience. we have russian atrocities, what is going on in our country, we have cooperation with different people from the grassroots level. we understand what our nation needs and we tried to share with our partners here. altogether, we are able to prevent very real catastrophe or a third world war. i think we helped with the partnership of all people. we have been united around the globe. thank you. >> rabbi, i do not know if you want to expand on that in terms of ecumenical views and relations among religions in ukraine, for the jewish faith in others? >> the council of foreign relations is that ecumenical. that is what keeps the peace. that is an important point. what brings us together is the fact that we are all representing religious communities of different faiths. when we come around the table, it is not me and my faith against you and yours by us togeth

over $60 billion for of ukraine. this amount must be approved by the us congress by december 14, and zelensky is already in washington, where he went after argentina. there are plans to hold a number of meetings and convince the congress that financial assistance is needed for ukraine now, and not after, for example, the christmas holidays, which in the usa should begin in mid-december. therefore, zelensky's meetings with american government officials took place behind closed doors without journalists. but why is this help important? because of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine. caused damage to billions of dollars, and a day of war with russia costs ukraine almost 100 million dollars of state funds. oleksiy reznikov said this in september of this year. and the money left over, for example, by the usa from the previous aid package, is about 6 billion. the pentagon announced this last week. and, for example, next year's budget in ukraine lacks almost 30 billion dollars. that is, a new package of life support. im

after all , we in the west are not helping ukraine properly, because we have not yet conveyed to ukraineat it has been asking for so long, namely f-16 fighter jets and longer-range missile systems, which are absolutely necessary for ukraine's success. therefore, i believe that it is important for president zelenskyi to be as honest as possible with the ukrainian people, with the united states and... our nato allies that ukraine is fighting bravely and effectively, and no nato military would even dare to do what ukraine is doing without air superiority, which means that ukraine must get f-16s and longer-range missiles. prospects of implementation lendlease, as a certain insurance mechanism, i hope that the american legislation has already taken all the necessary steps so that in the event of something , we can begin to lend us weapons, i think that it is possible, this is how the political situation in the usa developed a year ago, but now, as we enter the crazy circus of the us presidential race, everything becomes unpredictable and depends on negotiations like the ones we talked about,

ukraine needs these assets now.ezing of sovereign assets has happened before, experts say, but there have been no precedents of transferring assets from one country to another. legal expert iryna palyaashvili explained in a commentary for voice of america that these assets are protected by sovereign immunity. but there is a doctrine in international law called countermeasures, doctrinal countermeasures, which is very...applicable in this case, where the perpetrators have to cover damages, pay compensation, and that money can be used under this doctrine. and very recently , a legal memorandum of the world's leading public lawyers of internationalists was released, where they explain what the doctrine of countermeasures can be. one of the authors of this memorandum is paul reichler, a washington lawyer who has specialized in international public law for more than 40 years and represents sovereign states in disputes. with other states in international courts and tribunals. rykler says that the seizure and transfer of f

of ukraine to the aggression of the russian federation, their crimes in ukraine, in order to keep this support together, and at the same time, as we can see, in recent weeks, yes, on the contrary, the articles are not so much about russian aggression as about possible strife within ukraine itself, i it seems that it is very dangerous, i think that we should not play along with it all together, and i am convinced that you, in your comments to colleagues, switched your attention to key problems, which are safe, well, that's it, and i hold the frame when colleagues turn to foreign, or journalists with such questions, i emphasize, i'm sorry, our key problem now is russia, the conflict exists and the war is real, not an imaginary one between ukraine and russia, or rather russian aggression against ukraine, and this is how he answers these questions, although we are aware that there is no smoke without fire, and the fact that this diarrhea... of deputies, some of the servants of the people, when they attack the military leadership so aggressively, there is no reaction from the leadership of

what is interesting, tatiana, tusk says that ukraine and the victory of ukraine is our future, and urbans that there is a war going on there, and this is actually an obstacle, as, among other things, and fico, who before that said that the war would interfere ukraine in the european union, well, in the perspective of negotiations, why the eastern eastern european countries, which in principle know.

he became the face of ukraine. but of course, we also realize that ukraine is a democracy. even winston churchill was removed from office after a successful victory over the nazis. almost immediately after the war, therefore, politics can be relentless, however, we cannot and do not want to interfere in ukrainian politics, it is not our business. we want to see a democratic, sovereign, successful ukraine. whether in the united states and in general in the civilized world, in particular, i do not know, at the g7 level, recognize the process that in russia or in the kremlin is called presidential elections. we understand that putin himself will... appoint himself in a few months, but the key story is whether it will be recognized by the world and what consequences it may lead to if it is a matter of fixation the moment of usurpation or seizure of power. it is hard to imagine that europe or the united states will recognize these pseudo-elections. it is quite obvious that putin does not intend to conduct them honestly and democratically. for me, the recognition of such an elect

and ukraine to succeed. the best way to do that is to pass a supplemental. pres. zelenskyy: original answer in ukrainian first place. >> to president biden. about successes [indiscernible] nants of their fleet to russian territorial waters. yes, they have something in the black sea in the vicinity of our temporary occupied crimea but we are beginning to proceed. we destroyed 20000 mercenaries the terrorists who are amassing everywhere on the african continent, in syria, in [indiscernible] i am not talking about large cities. it goes without saying that we have a clear plan. i am not able to tell you on the details of the operations. if i heard what i want, i heard a lot. surely, i told what i wanted to. i feel and experience the support from president biden's administration. we will be talking with that speaker. it is more than positive. we know we have to separate worlds and particular results.

ministry of defense of ukraine. laying a brick, taking a gun at the construction sites of the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula, the russians are actively handing out summonses to naturalized migrants. the local public reported such raids in yevpator. earlier, the head of the investigative committee of the russian federation, bastrykin , suggested depriving the russian citizenship of those migrants who refuse to participate in the so-called special military operation. have changed their minds, slovakia is ready to support the decision to open negotiations with ukraine on accession to the european union at the december summit, which will take place soon, said the minister of foreign affairs of the country juray blanar, he positively assessed... kyiv's informational efforts on the way to the eu and emphasized the need - i quote : to focus more on finding solutions for a peaceful settlement, the minister also reiterated the position of the new government in bratislava. slovakia does not plan to provide military ai

, then ukraine will only last week.ge of military aid to ukraine in the amount of $175 million, enough money for one and a half days of war. the mtr will receive missiles for air defense systems, hymer shells from the jevelin anti-tank system and 4 million rounds of ammunition. at the same time, kiev asked for something completely different. c-130 and c-17 aircraft. we currently have approximately $4.8 billion available under the president's arms reduction authority and $1.1 billion to replenish american stockpiles. without funding we will not be able to provide ukraine is critical. and we may reach a point where we cannot maintain the current level of military assistance to ukraine, reveals details of a secret briefing in the us senate on ukraine, at which zelensky himself planned to speak, the debate between democrats and republicans almost came to blows. chuck schumer blamed the senate minority leader. mcconnell in an attempt to disrupt the meeting by shifting the conversation, as he believes, to an unrelated topic a

in its aggression against ukraine., we know that if putin is allowed to continue to act with impunity, it will open a pandora's box of aggression around the world. other aggressors will watch, they will learn, they will listen, they will draw conclusions from this. pavlo klimkin, ukrainian diplomat, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, 2014-19 joined our broadcast, good evening, greetings, ladies and gentlemen, greetings to all, well, look, oksana markarova says that the speech of volodymyr zelenskyi canceled, and this is not a catastrophe, and that it happened because at the meeting of senators they discussed not only ukrainian issues, but also internal american problems. but to me, i guess it's not complete.

putin has failed to subjugate ukraine. the brave people of ukraine have defied putin's will at every turn. backed by the strong and unwavering support of the united states and our allies and partners of more than 50 nations. fifty nations in europe the endo pacific. ukraine will emerge from this war crowd, free, firmly rooted in the west unless we walk away. the american people can be and should be incredibly proud of the part they played in supporting ukraine success. we will continue to supply ukraine with critical weapons and equipment as long as we can including $200 million or just approved today in the critical needed equipment additional air defense interceptors, artillery and ammunition. but without supplemental funding we are rapidly coming to an end of our ability to help ukraine respond with the urgent operational demands that it has. putin is banking on the united states failing to deliver for ukraine. we must, we must, we must prove him wrong. the nine states and congress must is i asked last week it is stunni

of ukraine. mr. valentin, i congratulate you and i am glad that you are with us today. good evening, glory to ukraine. thank you, mr. valentin, today we are asking our viewers whether they see attempts to usurp power in ukraine, and this is due to the fact that the mayor of kyiv, vitaliy klitschko , said that there are attempts by authoritarianism to establish authoritarianism in ukraine, this is what he said in an interview with the influential german weekly spiegel, do you see a threat to democracy and an attempt at what the authorities can find...' in hands of one person or several people? no, i don’t see it, i see and know that we have approved martial law, and all power in the country, primarily the military, is really in the hands of one person, the supreme commander-in-chief of ukraine, once, secondly, the entire vertical of power during the war is in the hands of the military, the commander-in-chief’s troops . is convinced that the entire direction of the government should be in support o

and they support ukraine in this war. the whole logic of western politics is to support ukraine.herself could decide where she wants to be, in which international system. and in this context , it is logical, and is an absolute consequence and result of the great support that is taking place. from the west for ukraine, and for ukraine to be part of the west's security system. if we are talking about details, then they still need to be discussed, but the principle is also the most important, it already works, because without a wink countries of the west that ukraine is part of the west, is a democratic country, is a country that recognizes the same values, there would not be the kind of help that is taking place today, so... it is already happening, instead, of course, if we speak about the future, we have to make concrete decisions together with the ukrainian government, in which way those guarantees will be implemented, but they, i repeat once again, given that support, huge support for the ukrainian state, for the ukrainian army , are already being implemented, and so to speak,

ukraine.approach the eastern border of nato, that is, to poland, and this is a danger, because when he turned to congressmen, a week ago, he talked about the fact that it is necessary to pass this package of aid to ukraine, because we do not want, if you do not want, american soldiers to fight on the european continent, given that biden, like me i will repeat myself once again for... always says things that are verified, and it is clear that based on some intelligence data, as it was on the eve of the big attack, remember how he said at the briefing, the journalist asked him, and can putin still postpone his decision to attack ukraine, he said, no, he already has decided everything, just turned around and left , biden, given the level of awareness, what do you think, that is , biden is not bluffing... in any case, he is saying what he knows for sure, well, i think that first of all there is general intelligence data, plus, of course , putin's plans are clear, and you know, for me, what is more

of ukraine.riends, we are working live on the tv channel. as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are now watch us on youtube and on facebook , please like this video, subscribe to our pages and take part in our vote, today we ask you about this, do you see attempts to usurp power in ukraine, if you vote on youtube, there everything is quite simple, yes no, or your opinion, please write in the comments under the video, if you are sitting in front of the tv, pick up your phone and vote, if you see: signs or attempts to usurp power in ukraine, vote on 0800-211 -381, no 0800-21-382. let me remind you that all calls to these numbers are free, so we can see the intermediate results now, 87% of those who watch us on tv believe that there is an attempt to usurp power, 13% do not see such usurpation of power. next, we will be in touch with viktor boberenko, political scientist, political... expert and expert of the analysis and policy bureau. mr. viktor, i congratulate you and tha

because in essence, ukraine and moldova go as a single package and ukraine cannot go, and moldova, whichssentially remains between the european union and ukraine, remains in some such hybrid status, also taking into account that transnistria is there, and with a large russian influence. federation, so yes, so in principle we heard it from the leaders of europe, from the same scholz, from chal-michel, from borel, from ursula fondelein from the european commission, that their priority for the security of the entire european union is the priority of expansion, that is, they are certainly evolving and they are certainly aware of all the risks that we are talking about with you now on the air, and by the way, do you remember the story with austria. which , on the eve of receiving ukraine's decision on december 14 to open the way to full membership of ukraine, had certain conditions of its own there, it had conditions in relation to bosnia and herzegovina, because it perfectly understood, taking into account the influence of the russian federation, in that including austria, there is a lot of

what are your thoughts on ukraine? caller: we have to deftly support ukraine. that is the real threat to this country. we -- it is just as important than what we did for 9/11. now you're dealing with a gentleman over there in russia that actually has nuclear weapons, has a military and a navy, air force. terrorism is a terrible thing, but terrorism is more or less a nuisance, not a real threat to national security. as far as the administration having to negotiate to have what our goals are, we have a goal to illuminate terrorism. -- a lemonade terrorism. -- eliminate terrorism. you have to negotiate with people that are willing and honest to negotiate. you can't throw out these -- we need to support ukraine. i believe that is our top priority. thank you for my time. host: thanks for that call. bill in alabama on the line for those that are not sure. why is that? caller: my opinion has evolved and i think no more funding for ukraine until we have an inspector general or someone is in charge of where the money goes, where the weapons go. i'm really disappointed t

to ukraine. stressed that he expects the us to accept a new aid package for ukraine.elensky also emphasized that he is sure that the european union will also allocate funds for ukraine in the near future. voice of america spoke with american experts who commented on the topics that were actually discussed at the press conference. it was a really important press conference, which took place at a time when there are challenges, particularly with regard to funding for ukraine. so about... a message for ukrainians at home, as well as for international partners, and also for russia. president zelenskyi clearly said several things. he firmly believes that ukraine's partners will provide support. he continued to give arguments in favor of why it is important to support the ukrainian people, to help right now. so i think that was a very important message to keep sending. another message, despite all the challenges, ukraine is 100% committed to return. i think it's really important for president zelensky to talk about the challenges ukrainians face on the battlefield, highligh

why the usaid for ukraine -- u.s. aid for ukraine is a bargain.n less than two years the direct u.s. military financial and humanitarian commitment to ukraine is unquestionably significant. in just 21 months washington's direct aid comes to more than 1/5 of its inflation-adjusted funding for israel since its founding 75 years ago. but by other measures the pot of money approved by congress to resist russian president labor putting's work regression -- vladimir putin's war of aggression looks modest. with some republicans certain americans have done enough and with funding increasingly also at risk in europe where right-wing populists oppose it. nearly half of americans now say the united states is spending too much on ukraine, yet at this point u.s. allies in europe have promised nearly twice the amount approved by congress, according to the keel institute which tracks contributions. there is a tulsa within the european union over a chunk of its pledge for ukraine, roughly $55 billion in budget support through 2027. the hungarian president has thr

we are ukraine marathon, the only news.e of the state, support of the military and veterans of the armed forces of ukraine, and european integration. here the main priorities of ukraine for the coming year - says volodymyr zelenskyi. a hundred representatives of communities from all over ukraine gathered at the congress of local and regional authorities. and government officials, another 1,500 participants joined the event online, talking about strengthening air defenses, housing for veterans and displaced people and loans for businesses, and how to increase the number of quality shelters in frontline regions and clear mined areas, but most importantly now at all levels to show that ukraine is ready to membership in the european union. we have a decision to start accession negotiations. this is a good and very important result, it is a change in the political reality in europe and an institutional proof at the level of the whole of europe that ukraine will be a member of the european union. we have to work together with the

if ukraine stops fighting, then ukraine ends. and that is the big distinction. we always have to have that in the back of our minds what ukraine is actually fighting for. it's for their national survival. of course the 2023 counteroffensive hasn't delivered the result miss had hoped and i think this was a combination of high expectations based off the two successful counteroffenses late last year. combined with our tk*eutering and indecisiveness at providing ukrainians with the weapons they need to actually win, not just survive on the battlefield. so hopefully we're going back to the drawing board and thinking a about how to prepare ukraine best for next year, 2024. but as we said here today, snow is already covering much of the ground in kwraoerpb ukraine and other pars of southern ukraine where the frozen temperatures have arao*eufd we're seeing a sea of mud on the battlefield. it's coming at a very difficult time in the war. every single day now it seem, and i'm sure tamar can speak to this in great detail, being in kyiv, we're seeing an uptick in the use of

everyone wants ukraine to win.den for the second time, in the last week, he repeated that it is impossible to allow putin to go further, because he can go further. knowing biden's background, he knows what he's talking about. what do you say, mr. alexander, who are trying to convince the most powerful politicians in the world, those who, on whom the future of not only the united states of america, but also the whole world depends, without exaggeration, if everything is, well, in their, in their field and the political field and under their leadership. well, you know, i keep repeating that ukraine became an internal political factor in the united states in 2016, and now it remains so, especially against the background of the fact that next year there will be elections for the president, and for the congress, and for the senate, part, third, and the house of representatives, and therefore of course we have to take that into account, and right now, what happened before our eyes is that the republicans decided that...

ukraine, then ukraine will lose. eureka they actually count how long we can last, it's true.'s a kind of theater, it's not even a theater of the absurd, it's a theater of historical irresponsibility in general. you can draw parallels, certain parallels, for example, in the united states of america in 1948 , the marshall plan was just as difficult. extremely it is difficult, and by the way, the paradox is that so are the republicans. republicans in the senate of the united states of america voted against the marshall plan at that time , selling the same word -for-word messages about the inexpediency of supporting a free europe, as now some republicans are selling messages about the inexpediency of supporting ukraine, but as a result, the decision was made, and in as a result of this decision , the world order was actually fixed. which is now destroyed, after the second world war, and it is clear that we are in when we in three of your viewers we talk about this, we will not solve these problems, but at least our task is to say how these problems should be solved and in general

congratulations, glory of ukraine. glory to the heroes, today's massive attack by russia on ukraine, mr. ambassador, indicates that there is a main result of 2023, a result that sounds something like this: it is impossible to agree with putin and there is no need to agree on anything, under any conditions, because with you can speak russia only in the language of power, first of all, russia in its... form and with that regime needs deputization, derasization, denazification, do you agree with this conclusion, the conclusion of the 23rd year, that it is impossible to negotiate with putin under any circumstances, because he is still and a terrorist. well, i definitely agree with you in the part that with putin in ukraine at any level, it is now prohibited by the relevant decision. by the decision of the national defense security council that the president of ukraine, and the president of ukraine is the head of this direction of foreign policy and the supreme commander-in-chief, that he simply does not have, well opportun

ukraine would benefit. america would benefit and what's more it would be secure as a global power of good to implement the plan requires decisive leadership. the leadership that will put two and. famous it cannot be separated in the interest are divided on purpose. we stand together just like a century ago determination and unity have given a unique opportunity to change the world. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you very much for that very passionate address. you said a lot of messages that need to be heard here in washington especially considering the importance and the timing of your visit, as our lawmakers are considering additional u.s. assistance to ukraine. here at hudson and i'm guessing i can speak on behalf of everyone in this room we are here for you, supporting you and we want to do everything we can to make sure your country gets the weapons and resources it needs not just to survive but to win on the battlefield. [applause] i want to ask a question going back in time a little bit and

andriy parubiy, people's deputy of ukraine, was also the chairman of the verkhovna rada of ukraine.nts of the day in two hours. vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people. espresso in the evening. i welcome you, dear tv viewers, on the espresso tv channel, studio zahid program. we will analyze the most important events that unfolded. happened in the united states of america and the european union. our guests today are metiu bryza and valery chaly. bryza, ex-adviser of the state secretary, will be working on the air of the tv channel now. of the united states, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the us national security council. glory to ukraine, mr. ambassador, i congratulate you. glory. what is happening in the world, what is happening in washington. we simply do not have time to react to extremely different and sometimes contradictory signals. on the other hand, we feel that the kremlin is celebrating. yes, they are preparing to prolong the war, and they feel a certain weakness in decisions from the side of what is called a collective action.

defense of ukraine, the new york times published an article about the fact that ukraine and the united states of america are currently arguing about the strategy for 2024, how the war should be conducted, what the newspaper writes, the pentagon decided to send the american general antonio agut jr. to kyiv, who supervises, manages the support of ukraine from... from germany, he will work with the military leadership of ukraine on the ground, what the new york times writes, or whether the americans insist on a defense strategy that is based on maintaining the territory, as well as building up reserves and forces throughout the year. ukraine wants to attack more, either on the ground or with long-range strikes. well, again, we see that information was leaked to the new york times, and apparently the new york times is writing what is happening with... behind the scenes, behind the scenes of this great process, what is happening in the understanding of the ukrainian leadership, so i still do n’t know, i don’t know, i only know that the bezugla requires a diligent plan and strategy for 2024,

ukraine and israel.ek , he said he was confident and optimistic that congress would be able to pass additional aid to israel and ukraine before christmas. holiday voting against additional funding for ukraine will hurt ukraine and help russia, it will hurt democracy and help dictators, and we believe that this is the wrong lesson of history and that every democrat and republican should vote to support this funding, without congressional action, the administration will run out of resources by the end of the year , to purchase more weapons and equipment for ukraine and secure supplies from us military stockpiles. without affecting our own military readiness. the european commission criticized the polish blockade border with ukraine. european commissioner for transport, adina velyayan, called the actions unfair and said that brussels is ready to firmly defend the agreement on the liberalization of freight transport and continue to explain its advantages, both for the european market and for ukraine and mold

and to ukraine , but for starters. i want to thank you for joining our collection, we already have uah 812.85 in our account, now you and i have collected uah 9,000 and we need another 800, even a little less, so that we have 820 00, and then we will lack only 400 00, because in general we need 1,220 uah for the battery stations that we collect, these battery stations... can be replaced in the field for military generator and they can recharge with the help of these battery stations their military equipment that helps destroy the muscovites. we are collecting for the 108th dnipropetrovsk separate brigade of territorial defense forces of the armed forces of ukraine. the battery stations are called wellstrams, they are equipped with solar panels. well , actually, we want to help them and we ask that you help us in this. you can now see the card number on your screens. 5375 412 0837 2065, or a qr code for your convenience, choose what is more convenient for you and transfer your funds. all i want to say is that 800 hryvni

support for ukraine is a matter of life and death.kraine has made titanic achievements efforts to fulfill the conditions. we, as the european commission, gave a positive assessment of this. and we will continue to defend our position regarding the opening of negotiations on the accession of ukraine. the president of the european parliament , ms. matsola, also emphasized that ukraine did, fulfilled, showed a good, good result from the conditions that it fulfilled, at first it was emphasized that these were not all conditions, now it is said that this is part of the conditions , however she said that ukraine has fulfilled these conditions, it is moving in a good direction, but these negotiations, even if a decision is made on the negotiations for ukraine's accession to the eu, this is the disunity of membership, accordingly, before that, she recently mentioned this at a press conference for journalists, she mentioned that it is necessary to proceed step by step, she mentioned her trip to of ukraine. in april 2022, for her these are also

evening, we are from ukraine, glory to ukraine, this is a verdict program, my name is serhiy rudenko, i congratulate everyone and wish everyone good health. today we are talking about ukraine, the world, the war and our victory. today in the program. in fact, everything flew, a massive attack on ukraine, revenge. is the operation planned and what are the consequences of russian terror, should europe prepare, is russia really planning a large-scale war against nato? foreign policy results for ukraine, whether western aid will cover the budget deficit next year. about this and other things, continue for the next hour we are talking with diplomat and politician valery chaly. however, before starting. our long conversation with mr. chaly , i suggest you watch the video of the consequences of the massive attack by the russian invaders on ukraine on december 29. 26 people have already died from the rashes rockets and shaheds, about 120 people have been injured , houses, shopping centers, kindergartens, schools have been destroyed, let's see, bunkering, what look at me, i'm running, i'm new

u and this will concern ukraine. you'll have to judge where the thursday's news of accession talks. uninstalled funding already a blessing or a cause and to show time loan to well it's, it's been a bitter sweet summers for, for you, for any of these because this is a historic moment. you can't get away from the, the role to be membership is now open to train. and us, your report indicate that this is, you know, 10 years since the, you are my don protests in, in ukraine, which in many ways precipitation was to conflict with russia because ukraine was making clear its intention to move westward. so this is an important milestone in part of the step and not direction. but there are huge obstacles to overcome, not least the opposition of the home gary and prime minister victor or band through again, as your report indicated, a has objected to additional funding. i mean, more than 50000000000, you are being provided to train and what he's doing is he's exploring an institutional weakness to within the european union. the

yesterday, dmytro piskov said that we are not against negotiations with ukraine either, only that ukraineefused these negotiations, but if it is not against it, then we will talk with ukraine. we have it's valery chaly again, mr. valery, forgive the connection, it's not unstable, that's why you haven't finished your opinion about north korea and militarization, so let's continue, i'm very brief, i don't see prospects in ukraine if we continue to develop on the model of israel or north korea, we need after a large-scale war, go to the model of collective defense, where for where we will share... responsibility for europe together with other countries, that is, have allies who must fight, not just watch, help weapons, fight, another way of defense, if necessary to do so is , unfortunately, the depletion of the country, and it will not allow us to develop in the future, because even israel, i will tell you, they have a concept of defense, it is from the depths of a small internal, you see, it is forced to go into the territory sector there further, because otherwise they can't look at the so

it seemed that support for ukraine was stronger than ever.reated a coalition of countries from the atlantic to the pacific around the world. more than 50 nations are helping ukraine to defend itself with unprecedented military, economic, humanitarian support. we will be with you as long as necessary. at that time, only isolated voices were heard against the supply of weapons. the most vocal of them is the prime minister of hungary , viktor orbán, who never tired of calling for so-called peace, even if ukraine has to give up its territories. if you look at the truth, if you... look at the numbers, if you look at the fact that nato is not ready to send its troops to ukraine, it becomes obvious: the poor ukrainians cannot win on the battlefield, which means that we need de-escalation and peace negotiations. at the beginning of june, the ukrainian counter-offensive in the south finally began, it did not achieve quick results, and already at the nato summit in the freedom of kyiv, the first disappointment awaited. allies have clearly stated that t

putin may very well win the war in ukraine. it was with this title that the publication in the economist magazine appeared. a foreign publication indicates that the head of the kremlin brought the entire political process in russia to a standstill, took the economy under strict control, produces more and more weapons and is ready to endure the mass deaths of russians for a long time, and with the beginning of 2024 , russia will have a stronger position to fight, - the article notes . what else - write the event. media the russian occupiers predictably intensified their shelling of ukraine the autumn-winter period, but this year they are mostly attacked by shaheds, as the defenders of the sky destroy enemy drones, exclusive material about the work of mobile air defense groups. greetings, iryna koval is in the studio and this is the news, the results of the week on the espresso tv channel. first, in history , a ukraine-nato meeting took place this week at the level of ministers of foreign affairs. all because of the war started b

good evening, we are from ukraine.ou to serhiy zgurets, thank you to his guests, these were the military results of the day, the second hour of the big broadcast is ahead, a lot of interesting things await you, and we will hear yuri fizer, who will tell what kind of attack happened in prague, there are killed and wounded, unknown, shot at charles university in prague and a lot of other information, money during the war, culture with lena checheina. also the weather from natalka didenko. let's start with the most important news as of this hour. the russians dropped four aerial bombs on coal plants in toretsk in donetsk region. unfortunately, three people died, five more were seriously injured. this was announced by the head of the regional military administration igor moros. at the time of the strike , 32 miners were underground, and they were promptly rescued by rescuers. as a result of the shelling, the enterprise was completely de-energized, as well as the administrative buildings and equipment were damaged. emergenc

, the day of the armed forces of ukraine, to thank all those who protect the sovereignty of ukraine and our future, both here and all those who do it, as we can see, and this is also about ukraine, especially justice comes when the traitors of the state, well, if we talk about ilyukieva, i am not commenting on the situation here, i will just say that he is already being held responsible for treason in ukraine, accordingly, if it is as it sounds, it is in my opinion, what happened to him is fair, but there are really many people who believe that fate can bypass them... not revenge, justice, but historically we know that this is not the case, and for some reason all people know about it that sooner or later it will catch up with them, they will catch up with what they have done wrong in this world, or on this earth, or in heaven, but i am sure that it will certainly happen, it is another matter how much they do lords and take the lives of good people. peaceful people, people who are now defending not only ukraine, but they are defending europe, they are defending not even allowing such a

ukraine, or israel? ukraine has a full-scale war. others would say, ukraine is already receiving support. now israel is facing a significant challenge. those are the voices we have heard in the beginning of this tragedy. that is why this is definitely not having a positive impact on ukraine. as for my visit to the region and to the middle east, i was ready in the very beginning -- this is a fact -- and that was my direct signal to their counterparts abroad. well, may be had different priorities. i can't play a lot with my own agenda and priorities, because i am leaving the country at war now. >> now, the associated press, close by. please get up. reporter: good afternoon. could you tell us please, if donald trump is elected as the next president of the united states, his policy would be an attempt to freeze the war and reduce support. do you think you will be able to convince him? thank you. pres. zelenskyy: thank you for this question. i think he will have a different policy. he is a different person. if he were elected as the presi

and of course, in favor of ukraine.just this thursday, putin told his russian fellow citizens for several hours in a row about how cool he is, how he likes it all manages to implement, in particular, russian aggression against ukraine, and he has not given any adequate signals that he is ready, so to speak, to enter into negotiations of a different level, at least in the public part it was not discussed. your vision is generally possible. a large diplomatic connection. i don't think so at the moment. pin is trying to strengthen his partnership with president putin to weaken the united states on the world stage. and what is happening between xi jinping and putin is similar to what is happening in the united states congress with the republicans. precisely because biden wants this support for ukraine. extreme republicans oppose. likewise, xi jinping, who would welcome an end to the war, wants to undermine the leadership of the united states and biden's leadership in the world, so he is going to stay with putin. having said

is ukraine failing? they both pointed out, taking back 50% of the territory that russia took, pushing back on the black sea, et cetera. i think the emotional part came in you noted that, when vladimir zelenskyy was asked are you ever going to give up a new territory and he immediately -- that's really one of the dilemmas here. some people are saying the war has gone on for so long, why don't you just give up some territory and end it? what he's saying is that that's not going to happen, biden was challenged to define what is this war about? what is the purpose and he said essentially that ukraine defending itself and deterring further aggression. that is probably the most specific thing we've heard so far in terms of strategy, one quick thing. president zelenskyy was asked do you have a plan in the war for 2024, he essentially said i have a plan but i'm not going to tell you what it is. >> right. do you think that this event and this general trip of president zelenskyy to the united states coming to cong

ukraine. ., ,, , . ., ukraine. ukraine. thank you service for bringing us up-to-date - ukraine. thank you service for bringing us up-to-date on - ukraine. thank you service for| bringing us up-to-date on that bringing us up—to—date on that story. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a person remains unaccounted for after a large fire broke out at an industrial estate in south wales. police responded to a "serious incident" at treforest industrial estate, pontypridd, around 7pm, on wednesday, and said roads in the area would remain closed for some time. eyewitnesses reported hearing a "massive explosion" and the area's mp said there were "walking wounded". police searching for a mother of three who went missing almost a week ago in norwich have released cctv of her last known movements. 55—year—old gaynor lord disappeared after failing to return home from work. norfolk constabulary also said it was "linking in" with police in lancashire because of simila

russia wants ukraine. it has increased its military spending in the next year to almost half of its total budget. it is showing no signs of backing down. given russia's total failure to comply with any international court order so far and it's violation of 400 different international law treaties since 2014, it is naive to believe that russia will comply with future judgments or agreements or reparations to ukraine. even a peace treaty itself. even if these payments were negotiated at some point in the future, what matters is that under international law, russia already owes this money to ukraine. no one disagrees with this. this is not a point of contention. the g7 has already confirmed that the money is never going back to russia. but instead of just sitting there in a pot, these funds could eventually be a down payment on what russia legally owes. the question isn't whether russia must pay. the question is when. the longer the west delays, tapping into russia reserves for crucial funding, the more weak,

we have clear goals in ukraine, we will not retreat now. just because there is no guarantee of complete victory, the return of the entire territory by ukraine, there is no reason stop and refuse to support ukraine. as i said, the white house needs to change course on its southern border strategy. it was a disaster for the united states. we've all seen it. on our southern border, young girls are sold into sexual slavery. meanwhile, the white house wants to allocate $100 billion to additional funds. for the rest of the world, secure our country, do it, then we have something to talk about, and besides, there's nothing to talk about, we've just heard the comments from the house of representatives after the briefing, but i will note that a similar briefing of representatives of the white house is taking place right now, right now at this very moment, it started in the senate and noted that the leader of the democrats in the senate, in fact the leader of the majority chakummer announced that during the briefing in the senate there will be not on

colonel, in ukraine they expect that after a certain time ukraine will become a member after all of the north atlantic alliance, but we see how difficult the decision to start accession negotiations with ukraine was. to the european union. hungarian prime minister viktor orbán, who even then was against starting such negotiations with ukraine, now says that he is afraid of ukraine's accession to nato, since the members of the north atlantic alliance have pledged to send their troops there. he does not want hungarians to fight in ukraine as well. let's hear what orbán said. if you really want to help ukraine, why not use another tool, a strategic partnership, which can be immediate. in short, consisting of the most important elements for ukrainians, support them as such, not through membership , which looks like a cute political gesture, but in reality, will not help ukrainians at all, so why is a strategic partnership not a better alternative to these challenges than this distant prospect of membership, which, as we all understand, will take place after many, mr. colonel, some of the le

ukraine overcomes the path. ukraine gets ukraine works. ukraine exists.ll together - this is not a new year's miracle, it is not a fairy tale, not magic, but the merit of each of you. each of the millions of... ukrainians, each who during this year, every day, every night , proved: ukrainians are stronger, when at the beginning of the 23rd year, in january, in february, we overcame , without exaggeration, the hardest winter in history, when ukrainians proved stronger than cold and darkness, stronger than disconnection and the threat of blackout, ukrainians will overcome any shortage of electricity, because there is no shortage of stability and courage, we did not disappear into the darkness , the darkness did not swallow us, the darkness failed us , our energy endured, our country endured, won this year, and i want to say thank you to all those who made this possible in the first place. all our security and defense forces, i am proud of every ukrainian soldier, as long as you are there, there is ukraine. i know how bravely and heroically you will defend u

here, ukraine has no leverage here. course we could give it away. him some of the money, and then maybe he would change his mind. but i don't think that's the point. he wants to destroy the eu from within. he is putin's man in the european union, and we should seriously think about whether he should be kicked out of the eu, and how to make it so that he did not constantly put obstacles in this game. of course. we can find another solution , for example, through intergovernmental contracts that do not go through the eu mechanisms, but this adds administrative work, so i think that in brussels we would like to avoid this method, but in general, i think that we should not allow orbán to blackmail us and create a threat to ukraine. i want to put some emphasis on hungary's position, because you , hungary, also spoke about it. not only blocks the accession of ukraine to the european union, but also blocks aid to ukraine in general. so how can this be countered at the european union level? will there be changes in the organiza
