first, we will see in vilnius, a strong and united nato.lies will reinforce our unity and resolve to support ukraine in the fight to defend sovereignty, territorial integrity, democracy, and the right to choose its own path. at vilnius, nato will commit to a passage of practical support for ukraine, which will build on bilateral support over the last 16 months. since february of 2022, the united states has provided more than $40 billion in bilateral security assistance to ukraine. more than 50 other nations, including nato allies, acting bilaterally through the ukraine defense contact group has provided ukraine with approximately 32 billion in legal aid. nato, itself, has come lamented bilateral legal assistance to ukrainian military, with nonlethal support, totaling $82 million, with another 110 million to nato's comprehensive assistance package to ukraine, and more support is on the way. second, nato will strengthen its deterrence and defense in support of our ironclad article 5 obligations. allies are completely full and limitation of na

allies will commit to a new enhanced defense investment pledge in vilnius. finally, even as nato sees russia as the most direct threat to security, peace, and stability in the euro atlantic area, nato faces other challenges. the prc, first among them. this brings me to my third point at vilnius, nato intends to strengthen its partnerships in the indo pacific and global south. for a second time, heads of state from australia, japan, new zealand, and south korea, have been invited to a nato summit to coordinate on shared security challenges, including the prc. at nato's 1949 inception here in washington, president truman called the alliance a shield against aggression. for 74 years, it has proven to be the world's most successful defense of alliance, extending that shield of collective security, from 12, now, 231 allies, and soon, 32. having finland, and hopefully sweden, in the alliance, makes it stronger, more capable, and more secure. as we look to the vilnius summit and beyond to the 2024 nato summit here in washington, the power of that shield providing s

the strong support for sweden to join, by filling by vilnius. also confirming sweden by the vilnius summit would help with many of these -- many of the weapons transfers you are talking about. >> i think it is critical that we continue, and as a bipartisan group, this last weekend, we are consistently projecting that message from congress, two turkish officials , that we need them to cooperate in this matter, because sweden decision to come out of natality after 200 years , most folks don't know that, it's a big step for them but they have been a neutral country for 200 years and have decided to come out and apply for nato membership. for the first time in about 80 years they have provided weapons systems to another country. those are big steps for them to take, to say that we are on the side of what is good in this world and we need to meet that with appropriate force, in my opinion, appropriate leverage to make sure that their steps are successful at getting into nato. would you agree with that? >> i agree. it is a historic shift that we have

oleksandr was impressed by the nato summit in july in vilnius, we remember that vilnius and yanukovychlso failed in this association with the eu. i hope that this will not happen now, but can ukraine, in the short time that remains, achieve some maximum benefits for itself from this july summit , yevgeny, please i would like one more small remark about what we have just now eh. i do not agree with the fact that in the early 90s we could exchange everything eh for joining nato . at that time, the question of ukraine joining nato was not even a question of poland introduction and others the central european countries of the baltic countries were barely able to do so . therefore, it was necessary to provide. it was necessary to provide. lessons, as our other neighboring states have passed, this cannot be absolute , because there are not so many countries with an absolutely continuous history of statehood on the european continent, but it is necessary take into account that is why we are actually now waging a war for independence. i think that this is true and the truth is bitter because t

war, nato secretary general genstoltenberg said this, and instead he noted that at the summit in vilniusr country will receive a clear a signal of continued support, in particular, they want to agree on a long-term plan and program for the transition of the ukrainian armed forces from the old soviet standards to modern nato standards, this should help bring ukraine closer to membership in the alliance, not only supplies drones, but also sets up production in the russian federation, iran is probably helping russia to start the production of drones for the war in british intelligence informs ukraine about this, besides, according to the ministry of defense of great britain, the terrorist country now receives weapons in large batches through the caspian sea instead of small ones supply of shaheeds by air, this is exactly what they have been trying to achieve in the russian federation in recent months, spies have noted. he worked for the rashists in dnipropetrovsk oblast. for each completed task , he received a monetary reward from the russian curator, for the past week , 650,000 tons were e

oleksandr lepne-july the nato summit in vilnius, we remember the failure in vilnius and yanukovych himselfding its association with the eu. benefits for yourself from the entire july summit, mr. yevgeny, please. i would like another small remark about what we have just now. i do not agree with the fact that in the early 90s we could exchange everything for joining nato. at that time, even the question of poland's accession and other central european countries of the baltic countries was barely enough. therefore, it was necessary to put it. it was necessary to put it. in the ukrainian paradisism of thinking, we did not pass many mistakes, many lessons, as our other neighboring states passed, this cannot be absolute, because countries with an absolutely continuous history of statehood on the european continent does not have much, but this must be taken into account, that is why we are actually now waging a war of independence. i think that this is the truth and the truth is bitter because this war began in the 31st year after the declaration of independence, and this war will prove ukraine's

, and again, i would not define vilnius, and we should also understand this.ould not define vilnius what about the final point regarding ukraine's membership in the alliance and the impossibility of changing anything after independence and not even having to wait for washington's decision, that's exactly what our future membership in the alliance involves systematic and long-term work. and you know when i oh just oh now i look at all these discussions and remember the discussions in 2019, when we insisted with our colleagues from the european solidarity party that the government already in the 19th year should have submitted an application for the summit in london at the end of the 19th year about membership i remember very well how the then vice prime minister today, the minister of foreign affairs said , well, he expressed himself so harshly in the press and talked about the fact that he said that there was no need to apply for membership of the voluntary union and he said that we are going as a party someone is confused for some reason two years after that,

summit because vilnius is such a strategic and very important place for ukrainians place because 10 years ago it was in vilnius due to the fugitive president yanukovych that ukraine lost its euro, european integration, european future in vilnius, and today i have to do everything so that this year , 10 years later, it is in vilnius that ukraine gained its euro-atlantic perspective, and that is why there is a proposal today on behalf of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, to appeal directly to the participants who will participate in the nato summit on july 11 this year so that they accept ukraine's application and provide ukraine with security guarantees on the way to to which we will pass to nato and we will definitely pass it we will pass with honor we will pass with dignity because we are ukraine glory to ukraine glory to the heroes request to sign up for speeches from the faction of groups two for two against please petro oleksiyovych poroshenko european solidarity

oleksandr we remember the july nato summit in vilnius, which failed in vilnius and yanukovych himselfs association with the eu. i hope that this will not happen now, but can ukraine in this short time that remains make some maximum benefits for themselves from this of the july summit mr. yevgeny, please. i would like another small remark about what we have and just now eh. i do not agree with the fact that in the early 90s we could exchange everything nato did not exist then, even the question of poland's accession and other central european countries of the baltic countries was barely raised. therefore , it was necessary to raise it, it was necessary to raise it, it was necessary to raise it. the ruling class was not formed in the ukrainian paradigm of thinking, we did not go through many mistakes, many lessons, as our other neighboring states did, this cannot be absolute because there are not so many countries with an absolutely continuous history of statehood on the european continent, but this must be taken into account that's why we are actually now waging the war for independenc

today all ukrainian diplomatic power should be used so that in vilnius we received an invitation to nato and that in vilnius we received a very clear list of steps that we must take so that the countries of the alliance make a final decision , it seems to me that the decision of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe is the decision of the international democratic union in london, forgive me, but this is also a victory for the european solidarity team that was present at the meeting , this is a chance, this is an open window of opportunity to use question number two. in my opinion, this after all, the issue of the ukrainian counter-nato, we understand that today we have a chance to destroy the enemy and today we have a chance to militarily buy territories and we all have to unite everyone in their place in order to do everything possible for de-occupation. well, of course, the potential danger that carried by the enemy, it is clear because if you ask anyone, i think that any sober-minded person will say yes, putin is crazy, so he can use the zaporizhzhia nuclear power p

, in vilnius they can pass some kind of resolution on how to help ukraine with - it is more accuratee not just in words, but somehow more practically to outline the path of this introduction that what will happen because you understand janstoutenberg chat who says that the door is open for all those who want to join nato and that after we pass through these doors and maybe in vilnius my hunch will be right for us and they will say that after you will walk through this door, you will do this and that. and then we will display it, maybe at least they will write what it means when the war ends, even if the armed forces of ukraine. well, when the armed forces of ukraine, let's say, recognize the enemy from all of their territory and russia continues to fire missiles, is it a war or not a war or should it be capitulation, the signatory, that is, the war will end. therefore, we will wait for nato in vilnius, it will take place very soon in july, on july 11 and 12. it is obvious that i will carefully monitor it. and you will be the first to to find out the main well and three iran should st

vilnius was then e , it seems to me, there was an association. they tried to push through this whole story, but it's all the same it's all the same. e, clearly remembers then vilnius e opposed this story germany means france for all that, despite the fact that the baltic states poland everyone was for it, but nevertheless everything burst. eventually. well, i’m not talking about the fact that yanukovych made a sharp u-turn in vilnius at one time, in general, the place is so significant for ukraine and definitely not the most pleasant, so zelensky’s jitters are obvious on the one hand. yes, so on the other side. if you go back to hmm to the dam, well, of course, now i want to say that, well, something like this was to be expected. i will tell you. to be honest, i've been paying close attention to what happened in the spring along the dnieper river. and here the pool said that these are characteristic spills. yes, nothing like this for a long time already, in the spring there was no flour, all the more, dnepropetrovsk did not experience such seriou

and as for the free school, that's exactly what i would really like for vilnius to at least offer ukraineclear points, if ukraine fulfills this, this, this, it will join nato and, for the period while it is not in nato, it will receive a security guarantee similar to article 5 of washington of this treaty, at the same time, i understand that, unfortunately, it is unlikely to happen in vilnius, in particular, because of the position of the crown presidents and chancellor shultz, ah-ah, how do i see it today, despite the fact that i think that western leaders are definitely more at least now understanding what russia is, who is who putin, but they still don't have it enough courage to accept no. no matter how true it is, western leaders do not take into account how much it will cost ukraine , how many lives will be lost , how many houses will be destroyed, how many cities will be destroyed, how many more environmental leagues will be , and so on. and how many and how much will it cost western taxpayers? because aid to ukraine is worth money and the west will continue it, but if you don't gi

in vilnius.based on what deliverables of vilnius will be. yeah. you're going to come under increasing pressure, it seems, from many in the international community, to negotiate with vladimir putin. we've just seen the african leaders visit kyiv and moscow talking about a ten—point plan which begins with de—escalation of the military conflict, going all the way to a peace agreement. the brazilians, the turks are also offering themselves as mediators on the basis of negotiation now. are you prepared to contemplate negotiation now to end the killing? russia has... must withdraw from ukraine now. this is the position of ukraine. so you're saying no talks while there is one russian boot still on any ukrainian territory, including crimea? because that seems the recipe for a forever war. no, no, no. listen, what people have to change is they have to finally start believing in ukraine. in february 2022, no—one believed in us. everyone was giving us maximum ten days to... before we would... we were to be

that he intends to go to vilnius together with the minister of foreign affairs affairs , let's say,e all the time to negotiations on strengthening ukraine's position. ukraine is now in such a situation that it is simply not possible to afford any public insults, public misunderstandings or something else, in my opinion of moral law that is why it must be taken into account we must work with it and it must be creatively implemented ukraine has no right to allow itself today to pass russian propaganda that we declare that you do not have nato this must be absolutely clear understanding and besides, ukrainian government officials must now fulfill the constitutional norm on european and euro-atlantic integration , and in this context, i was honestly somewhat upset by the news from reuters that , according to the european union, ukraine has only fulfilled two seven points for starting negotiations with the european union, not for joining the eu, for starting negotiations, our government told us completely opposite things that we are about to translate the last pieces of paper and start n

vilnius yes nato i think now, first of all, our diplomacy and the diplomacy of our partners will becentrated on the ukrainian site of mir, which theoretically has uh and volodymyr zelenskiy, announced by the president of ukraine, to go to the summit in vilnius also in july, for which he should really rally international support and not only partners for now, but also find points of contact, respectively, for countries that had doubts , countries with which we had weak diplomatic ties ukraine with the countries of the so-called global cock. that is why now we will have such an extremely hot diplomatic season regarding the guarantee of security, uh, the position of germany. it is already quite stable and pro-ukrainian, and there is not even a hint of any uncertainty about even zelenskyi mentioned scholze in his speech and said that well, there is nothing to talk about in any negotiations with the russian federation until russia itself de-occupies it, that's why ukraine did not withdraw all its troops, that is, in principle, this position is absolutely unambiguous, and the fact that uk

well, and not only from him , so let's do it in order so, the current phase of guarantees until the vilniust is a month away well, actually, let's talk about guarantees as an intermediate stage on the way to ukraine's membership in nato and we have a whole company ukraine in nato is the 33rd, that is , so that after sweden and versatile them in different capitals. they should be clear steps on the way to membership and not otherwise, for whatever reason. because unfortunately there is no political will and courage in the alliance to invite ukraine to the vilnius summit and provide a formal invitation to the clearing to send rumors a geopolitical signal that this with the invitation, nato brings ukraine's historic victory closer nato sees ukraine as a future equal member considering our contribution to the security of europe and the protection of democrats in the world considering the unique combat capability of the armed forces so far there is no political will for determination and washington is the most convincing because unfortunately, the president himself is not ready, and the majority

congratulations, nato leaders will not invite ukraine to join the alliance at the summit to be held in vilnius on july 11-12 , nato secretary general jens stoltenberg announced this after a meeting with german chancellor olaf scholz , instead, members of the military alliance will discuss how to bring ukraine closer to he added to nato and warned against freezing the conflict in ukraine. in addition, at the summit in vilnius, the participants will approve a package of long-term aid to ukraine , stoltenberg said in an interview in the welt publication. free som from anime at the summit in vilnius and during the preparations for the summit, we are not discussing a formal invitation , we are discussing how to bring ukraine closer to nato, and currently consultations are ongoing, and i will not predict the outcome of these consultations. we agree that nato's doors are open, we demonstrated this by inviting finland and sweden, we also agree with what we stated in 2008 that ukraine would become a member of the alliance. we also agree that it is not russia, but ukraine . nato allies decide when it is

the forceful actions of the soviet army in vilnius and riga only accelerated the reaction of the statef-life , there was nothing left for gorbachev. how to make a decisive bet on a referendum only a popular plebiscite. might keep under on january 16, 1991, the supreme soviet of the ussr issued a resolution to hold a referendum on the preservation of the soviet union on march 17, 1991 and sum up the results of the vote, both for the union as a whole and for each republic individually, the wording of the question put to the vote was deliberately ambiguous . do you consider it necessary to preserve the union of soviet socialist republics as a renewed federation of equal sovereign republics, in which will the rights and freedoms of a person of any nationality be fully guaranteed? the citizens of the ussr were asked to preserve what did not yet exist, a renewed federation with new relations of no longer soviet, but simply sovereign republics , they were tempted by guarantees of rights and freedoms that had yet to be enshrined in law, the denial of the old ussr was also emphasized by the fac

what do you think kyiv can expect at the summit in vilnius, what can we expect first of all it should is important that together with germany and france there were poles, this is already very important because before this meeting it was obvious and clear that warsaw and in particular the president there, he is an active lobbyist of ukraine's position regarding the fastest possible nato membership, but paris and berlin were very slowly moving towards the position of not only membership and simply active support of ukraine, and actually this meeting that took place and which is possibly happening now in washington, they also use the position that ukraine can hope for loyalty from my point of view the optimal a-a option and here both sides need to be prudent and calm and understand that ukraine must move at a fairly fast pace towards nato, that is, take such a position that, in freedom, nato makes organizational decisions that show the rapprochement of ukraine and nato, and the second is a long-term, large-scale support of ukraine by the force factor. that is, it is weapons , military eq

in just a few weeks, our leaders will gather for nato's vilnius up. this is, i've noticed they'll be meeting and challenging times. and the summit will be an important opportunity to discuss how nato will continue to meet this moment. in vilnius, nato will have the opportunity to expand this practical model legal support for ukraine's current fight. and that will also be a chance to lay the foundations for modernizing and reforming ukraine's defense institutions and making the transition tomato standard equipment. now i'm proud that finland will participate in this year summit for the 1st time as an 8 o l. and let me urge all of our allies to support the immediate accession of sweet, another proud democracy, entirely capable of defense partner. also in vilnius, our leaders will agree on an updated defense investment pledge. it will affirm our shared commitment to spend at least 2 percent of national g d, p on defense with the name of spending more than 2 percent, more than 2 percent to meet the alliances defense needs. as i said before, 2 percent of t

fulfill these conditions, the very traditions of europe are taking place on the eve of the great vilnius nato summit, so the issue of defense capability was zoryana stepanenko, my colleague, will tell the details of the internal affairs of russia surrounded by attention far beyond its borders, the establishment of yevgeny prigozhin and its influence on the stability of russia and the continent in general, among the topics that dominate this summit of the leaders of the european union, it once again shows that giving military power to private hands are irresponsible, this is a threat. and what the mercenaries have developed in the war in ukraine. what they are doing in africa and many other places in the world is unforgivable. the coup attempt has shaken the russian political system and weakened vladimir putin are considered by the heads of member states and top officials of the union but some see in this additional risks, a weak putin is also a great danger therefore, we need to understand the consequences well it remains unclear who was behind the attempted armed coup here diplomat the

macron sunat well, all this is a bastard nazi barrel ursula vonderlein how is it anna lena vilnius vilnius and here it is not right better there in berlin you can see too little berlin to understand under the ass to blow up vladimir vladimirovich yes, you say, uh. we understand that no one now says a word to the media about this is an attempt at a dirty nuclear bomb, they won’t write, they won’t say. today i monitor the media about kakhovka write a lot of course, basically, hinting at what russia did about this . not a word about this exposure. if, god forbid, of course, it would have happened, yes, that’s what they were so instantly, we would have seen a bunch of versions about the fact that russia’s horse is definitely not even not even subject to any doubt russia itself is shelled from the belgorod region no . so everything is the crimean bridge and so on . he writes a post. uh, the cia knew. uh, for five uh for 3 months before the explosions of the northern streams , in detail all the plans means, uh, how it was carried out and, moreover, shared with european intelligence nearby. they

we will definitely return to nato llc itself which themselves nato, which will be held in vilnius ony 11-12, so far eh. for the time being, we are making some approximate predictions about this. thank you very much oleksiy ezhyk, an expert of the national institute of strategic studies, was on radio liberty . ukraine should take advantage of the window of opportunity to conduct a successful counteroffensive this year, because the following actions for

can be heard from this summit in vilnius , or whether it will be heard next year during the anniversaryn my personal opinion, we have to convince, we should convince our to convince continue to convince our colleagues until the last minute before the start of the lviv summit because in this situation every minute that brings ukraine closer to nato is also every minute that brings peace in europe closer and in this situation we are trying to convince our colleagues, that this is not ukraine's problem, that it is nato's problem, that this is our problem because of the mistakes we made many years ago , when ukraine was not invited, when the baltic countries were invited, and now we have a better security situation than ukraine, this should be very important and would be a very important lesson should be drawn from it in the prem for our safety, i can only agree with you 100% and thank you for what you are doing, for such words that you choose for those who are currently undecided, and not only lithuania, but also the baltic countries and poland and others to the countries that vilnius visi

, the summit should not open the way for ukraine to nato in vilnius, citing sources in alliance reporthe publication of the policy of the allies are not ready after months of reasoning, promises of consensus. no one wants to upset zelensky but also how to package it no one knows a number of western european leaders are increasingly advocating a security guarantee and offering more optimistic language about membership. but under the rhetoric lies the confusion of actual planning, a reflection of the difficulties associated with the fact that in the conditions when the governments of different countries are fighting on the territory of ukraine can not come to a consensus of opinion, no, and on the eleventh package of sanctions in recent years, the eu countries are becoming more frequent. two hot topics of migrants and another package of anti-russian sanctions are scared in front of the eu ambassadors next week greece and hungary have blocked another improved version europe is set to fight and does not hide it at all. even if former prime ministers and former officials talk about it. they

pavlo please tell me if it just seems to me or do you also think that at the vilnius nato summit in julythis year, there will obviously not be an invitation, but will there be some clearer wording about what we will do next to cooperate with nato, at least while we have an aggressive russian war on our territory, in fact , the discussions in bratislava are part of it. quite banal things, if there is no security, then how will we exist, we will exist europe , how can we actually count on the security of investments and the security of life as such, but macron said several interesting things things for someone his performance was a complete surprise for me in the end he was quite expected uh first he stopped talking about europe as a separate reality and emphasized romantic solidarities what was expected of him he tried to play giant slalom there after visiting china is talking about strategic autonomy, now he said that the west is the west, in fact , translated from diplomatic to normal, and the west should be unified, and this is actually a lot if you hear it from macron, and it would be

protection and defense, therefore, colleagues, we are very much looking forward to support at the vilniusmit for ukraine's participation in nato full membership, let it be an invitation with an open date as on unexpected event. but we all expect and we all support the main ukrainians in some regions . an important component of the work, please pavlenko oleksiyovych platform for the life of peace dear colleagues, we undoubtedly support the appeal of the ukrainian parliament to the participants of the nato summit, which will be held on 11 july with the demand to make a fundamental decision regarding ukraine's membership in the north atlantic alliance for the last one and a half years. for almost one and a half years, they clearly defined who is friend and who is enemy. they clearly showed what the ukrainian choice should be, and today the vast majority of ukrainian citizens see the future of the ukrainian state together with nato, and i am convinced that even today the verkhovna rada the council of ukraine , the highest legislative body, will adopt the necessary appeal and thus strengthen u

lithuania to process and recruit her and decided on one of the visits to vilnius that the lithuanianial services do not often hear red tricks. here to emphasize that in case of ignoring love, that the offer of your potential source of his family members, insurmountable problems for them will arise , they will lose their jobs, they will lose their business, they will turn in their rights and there will be reasons for where he is responsible in this way, an appearance is created before the person, the absence of elections . only unconditional acceptance of the terms or a simple side, expressed in the betrayal of your homeland, you said dry lips five times. maybe you still drink. i was afraid even in these sips of water. i didn't know what would happen next. i was here, i tell you 100%. i was sure that i would no longer be there right on the street in vilnius , two people approached her and very quickly she ended up in a car, following in an unknown direction for her in a state of shock. it was the wildest no one called, neither a lawyer, nor an interpreter, nor a belarusian consul, lit

vilnius, a decision will be made about the possibility for us to conduct special consultations similare four of the nato treaty . since we have all already studied in almost detail the fifth legal article, but there is also article 4 on consultations, which can generate to initiate each ally well, in the end, let's read the fifth article, and it is about the actions of both the entire alliance and individual allies in the event of a threat, and i think that such logic should be extended to the interaction with ukraine during the transition period to our membership as at least at the end of our conversation, i see that the press conference of biden and sunak is unfortunately delayed in washington . i wanted to ask you about this . on june 16 and 17, the arrival in kyiv and st. petersburg, respectively, has already been announced. representatives seven african countries, seven presidents, who were previously reported to be preparing a peace plan, or at least a plan to arrange peace in ukraine, and whether it will be kyiv first, then st. petersburg itself, or st. petersburg first, then wh

already clear whether there will be any steps by the alliance towards ukraine at the july summit in vilniust membership in nato is a vitally important issue . a firm position is what is needed , therefore, i am for it with both hands. in nato will end in a new explosion, which will be even bigger, which will take over europe and also the eurasian dimension, and there are no other options. i believe that any decision that leaves us a kind of porcupine , as the americans like to say, give us more weapons, give us help and say, well, you the second israel is a kind of central european, this all does not take into account many things. since in the case of israel, it has nuclear weapons and we know it, its enemies do not have , at least for now, we have the exact opposite situation in russia, these weapons are er, we do not have except moreover, the whole logic of supporting israel is based on the need to maintain a military advantage, a qualitative military advantage , as for russia, we would like to do it, but unfortunately, we can only do it as part of a collective measure and over and above

i just want to tell you one thing. so vilnius will be if a final decision will not be made there, thisilure, it’s not like that here, in principle, the situation is changing dynamically. in general, if i’m honest , i think washington is more realistic . already showed our visa-free entry from the eu upon obtaining candidate status. that is, it was also considered politically impossible, and then it was implemented . internal reforms were carried out. homework you are done, and therefore if it happens, then if it is against one country well, what do you think now that there is such a drastic action against one country so, so as not to allow well why so, i do not know, time will tell, but yes, in principle , all other countries can be convinced, i am an optimist and if in vilnius, then in washington , we must achieve this political result. and what kind of country is the united states of america ? hungary believes that the united states of america is not such a country. no, i believe that the united states is not ready for a decision now, unfortunately, although they were ready in buchar

you glory to ukraine , what can we say about this logic of talks about joining nato on the eve of vilniusecial progress, on the other hand, everyone says who can, that they support us in this introduction, even though they are on the seventh they are even trying to give some real signals as to what this means, it means only one thing that the war is in its hot phase, it is, in principle , reaching its climax somewhere and everyone is waiting for the result on the fronts, let's be honest , no one wants to enter the stage when it is necessary to strengthen ukraine as much as possible and to win, for some reason everyone says this phrase , it surprises me. so when ukraine demonstrates that it will be able to defeat russia, then we will accept ukraine into nato, well, it looks like a rather strange phrase, but in fact, this phrase, the main position is that we are ready, in principle, we will be ready to accept ukraine politically in the event that it becomes clear that russia will not pose a threat in the next 10-15 years, and this is a paradox. that is, we also want to have a cal signal now

they sent a very strong signal of support to ukraine at the summit in vilnius, the secretary general of the alliance, gens staltenberg, stated this in a regular manner, he emphasized that all nato allies are unanimous that ukraine should become a full member of the bloc at the same time manuel macron emphasized that nato at the vilnius summit should form the perspective of ukraine's accession and take on long-term commitments . in vilnius, not at the nato summit, we will discuss ukraine's aspirations for membership, and i am absolutely sure that nato allies will send a decisive signal of support to ukraine , the most important and urgent task is to continue supporting ukraine and ensure its victory as a sovereign independent state in europe, ukraine and its allies, not russia, will decide when the time will come to issue an official invitation to join off the coast of scotland naval exercises are underway all the way through 2023 with 18 countries taking part including our crews and warships the ministry of defense of ukraine is represented by the minesweepers of the sandaum cherkasy

the most important thing that will happen at the nato summit in vilnius in july is that nato allies willss their strong support for ukraine not only in words but also hopes because i am absolutely sure that this is what nato secretary general jenstoutenberg actually says. so, i am sure, absolutely sure that our nato allies will make new statements about military support for ukraine and promise to support and increase it, according to the nato secretary general in vilnius, the members of the alliance will make it clear that will support ukraine as long as necessary, and speaking about the possibility of ukraine's membership in nato , he pointed out that consultations are currently ongoing among the allies and it is too early to talk about a specific result, but there are many allies what do we agree on? we agree that nato's doors are open, as we demonstrated in the case of finland and sweden, and he said. at the same time, as the secretary general of nato emphasized, it is impossible to name the exact dates when we are in the midst of a war or if ukraine does not win, then membership will

to crystallize as some separate element of the decision that can be adopted at the e-e summit in vilnius, although i do not think that in this triangle it is possible to really decide the issue of providing security guarantees to ukraine, i do not see the possibility of providing security guarantees except for ukraine becoming a member of the alliance, well at least the maximum that can be after the end of the war is security guarantees like those were given in finland and are now acting in relation to sweden of individual member countries of the alliance, such as from great britain for sweden, well, for this we need a position, first of all , the position of the united states. indeed, at the moment, unfortunately, the united states takes a position that a-a prioritizes exclusively the provision of military aid to ukraine, which is undoubtedly critically important for us, for ukrainians and for our security forces, but it definitely does not cover all those security needs that are critical for us, and we see that the united states and at this press conference held yesterday by the presid

it is expected that the leaders will discuss the upcoming july alliance summit in vilnius. well , stoltenberg is also finishing his term as nato secretary general, and one of the key questions is who will be his successor, in addition, the minister of foreign affairs of italy, antonio tayani, arrived in washington and at a joint press conference with us secretary of state anthony blinken, they discussed, in particular , the counteroffensive and security guarantees for ukraine . we will ask yulia yarmolenko, who joins our broadcast from of the white house yulia hello, congratulations marie please tell me for what purpose you came to the united states and how they commented on the counteroffensive in the state department , definitely maria, vitaliy of the united states has many topics about which they prefer and have talk constantly on diplomatic channels and today at the final press conference, both foreign ministers and the minister of foreign affairs and the secretary of state mentioned that one of the key issues they discussed during their meeting here in washington was t

although i understand that this time will pass very quickly, the summit in vilnius is right around theer. and in fact, for a long time, we have high hopes for summit, but now there is information from the president 's office about the fact that zelensky may not go in person, but participate, let's say, remotely, as it was without a security conference in london, in what case if we do not understand that we don't get any positive result that we are interested in actually from this. that is what the actions of the head of state are, even though there is a war in the country and we understand that the president cannot travel to all conferences, meetings and summits, but this is one from these more important summits from more important meetings, does this behavior mean ignoring, i even said on the part of the head of state, it cannot indicate that it is possible that we are so interested in integration into nato, you know what i would like the most, it is a shade of blackmail, even it's not that ukraine is a weaker partner than nato and a weaker partner shouldn't be blackmailed. that's not

that hope that the ukraine nato council will be inaugurated at the july summit of the alliance in vilniusinvited partner at the commission, then kyiv can convene the ukraine nato council on its own initiative and ukraine will be an equal partner there . president volodymyr zelenskyy, for his part , welcomed the resolution of the european parliament, which called for the adoption ukraine's entry into nato after the war without delay ukraine's path to nato and the political invitation to join should be worked out already in the context of preparations for the alliance summit in vilnius, time for integration and security certainty has obviously come, and i thank all the members of the european parliament for factually stating this. well, a few minutes before the start of our broadcast , the nato secretary general and genstoutenberg announced that at the vilnius nato summit they will not discuss the issue of inviting ukraine to the alliance, but at the same time there will be an alleged consensus regarding the model of ukraine's movement towards membership, what this might mean for ukraine, i

yes, volodya will understand that it makes no sense for him to be present only in vilnius but also inlieve that some nato countries are so afraid of russia that they do not want to accept ukraine into the alliance if we are not marked and give us some kind of signal in vilnius i believe that there is no point for ukraine to attend this sammit it’s not even zelensky’s impudence itself that is striking, but the opportunities that it opens up for him . a little more and volodya will start to intimidate the nato countries that if one of them does not provide support to ukraine, he will disband the italians. vova vova the fact is that not everyone has western leaders under the influence of illegal drugs. the self-preservation instinct has completely atrophied earlier , vladimir zelensky said that ukraine would not become a member of nato until the end of the conflict, but he would like the support of partners in the form of an invitation to the alliance today. zelensky is still waiting for hints about his status in nato, but so far it is coming out. as a joke, remember a man that you wink

lithuania decided to process her and recruit her in one of the visits of the vilnius special services and often serves as dirty tricks of the proposal. thus , an appearance is created in front of a person, the absence of elections, only the unconditional acceptance of the conditions or a simple side, expressed in the betrayal of their homeland, your dry lips said five times. maybe you will still drink, i was afraid to even drink a sip of water. i didn't know what would happen next. i was here, i tell you 100%. i was sure that i would no longer be there right on the street in vilnius , two people approached her and very quickly she ended up in a car, following in an unknown direction in shock. it was wildest no one called, neither a lawyer, nor an interpreter , nor a belarusian consul, lithuanian strangers. we violated all possible norms, both procedural and human, we know that you are cooperating with the e-committee of state security, so let's tell what to do when i'm in shock. we clearly know this. here is your folder, so everything is here, but if you tell it yourself, it means tha

see when it comes to about membership in nato, it will appear thanks to the decisions approved in vilniusntries of the alliance see ukraine in their ranks, the nato secretary general spoke, that is, there is no longer a discussion about that uh, will it happen, a discussion about when, but ukraine is no longer satisfied with the prospect of an open door, a concrete road entry map otherwise volodymyr zelenskyi sees no point in his visit to the lithuanian capital radio svoboda sources in diplomatic circles of the alliance say that they are currently working on a joint declaration there themselves and they are looking for what words to choose for them in order to satisfy kyiv, the capital of the 31 nato member countries, with the nadvirnov decision and its consolidation of allies around a common denominator. the secretary general is currently working and visiting ukraine, which is the largest donor to the alliance and therefore one of its most influential members the day before jens stoltenberg was supposed to receive the president of the usa, but the meeting where it was supposed to be abou

i am convinced that the meeting in vilnius should send a very clear signal of support for ukraine and ukrainians. i am in favor of these were more powerful, clearer and as clear as possible security guarantees, and another issue that repeatedly became zelensky's, which is not surprising given the location of the summit, this is the issue of transnistria, vselenskyi assured that without asked kishenev, the ukrainian wars will have nothing to do with transnistria, but he emphasized that he believes in a free from russians and a united moldova after the victory of ukraine from kishenev, yana sisarchuk tsn 1+1 marathon, the only news, electricity has become more expensive according to the new prices set by the cabinet of ministers now we will pay for electricity in seredny by uah 250 more, this is the first significant increase in the price of utility services since the beginning of the full-scale war, tsn correspondent ira prokofieva spoke with state officials, experts analyzed the situation and claims that ukrainians can expect at least one more utility strike, what exactly is it, let's

mykola, what are your expectations for what will happen in vilnius ? there is less and less time left before this event. indeed, nato member countries are now engaged in trying to formulate a recommendation. will it be some kind of resolution or will it be some other form for ukraine , uh, how to please both our own and others, yes, uh, what can it be , what can it be, a clear wording , if it really will happen or will it happen again about the door that remains open even there continues to search for this space, uh, the current of the alliance, look, i think that everything is still the same, the situation is in progress, it is still moving , uh, the meeting in copenhagen, that is, the landing party, have you met with such democratic countries as brazil, india, but which ones are also south africa, but which ones have not yet took about the ukrainian position well, they are convinced there because, after all, the admission of ukraine to nato is not only a matter of nato members in general , a certain global consensus. well , again , the position of th
