12-point scale, then i think it is 10 points, that is, this visit was important for ukraine volodymyr zelenskyirmed that great britain is one of the key allies for our country, that the british support us very much, that it was britain that provided ukraine with the first battle tanks challenger 2, although of course the poles also provided t-90 comrades, but britain did the same, if we are talking about france and germany , zelensky met with scholz macron in paris, then it is equally important for us of the country and if brussels definitely needed this visit because just last week the eu-ukraine summit was held in kyiv, and in general, this summit was supposed to take place in brussels in december 2022, but due to the full-scale invasion of russia and the war, it was moved to kyiv and the main conclusions are that these countries support us and this support will be until our victory the only thing that er prince charles in the crimea in 1996 because he visited the crimea and for many british people the crimea is an important territory because there was the crimean war and many british milita

tetyana vysotska , brussels correspondent, already volodymyr zelensky is entering the building what'sere? good day studio good day yes volodymyr zelenskyy is expected from minute to minute what he is already going to the building of the european parliament regarding journalists has already gone out on the porch to meet zelenskyi and the presidents of the european parliament robert matsuol she emphasized that the european parliament was with ukraine from the first day of the beginning of the war and will continue to be until the very victory , she emphasized, and now uh. 20 minutes or even more, deputies are waiting in the session hall. but really , such an event is very interesting. i can’t show you now . on the balconies, along the central foundation of the european parliament, people who work here have gathered, who came out just to see at least somehow the edges of the milk . to see the ukrainian president, a lot of people came out into the corridors and want to somehow be involved in this possible, even historic event, so we are all waiting now tetyana this is tetyana and are ther

volodymyr zelensky, who addressed the leaders via video link six times last year, today has the opportunity to talk, and with them personally the issue discussed at the beginning of this summit, which, in turn, the european union is ready to promise kiev that expects a quick procedure for joining the european union on this occasion, the prime minister of portugal has already called on the european union to think carefully about the consequences of such a step, so as not to deceive the expectations that he himself, and in turn, the leader of ireland created said that he expects that negotiations on ukraine's accession to the european union could begin at the end of this year, the media drew attention to the fact that the federal concert of germany, olaf schulz , arrived at the summit among the first even before the plane with emmanuel macron and volodymyr zelensky landed landed in belgium although the day before the three politicians are known to have dined together, while in paris while germany's federal concert on this occasion expressed regret during his european tour. traveled around ber

the strategy failed, and president volodymyr zelensky said he would do everything to win.s from the war in ukraine. people sing classical music explosion # hallelujah... it's very bad. # hallelujah... a lovely end of the day in cumbria, see the blue skies in the setting sun here. it wasn't like that everywhere though, across northeast scotland, we had a lot of cloud, thick enough to bring some showers. this cloud here in aberdeen sure is actually from this cloud that you can see here in the north sea. now this cloud sheet is really extensive, and if i put on the winds that are blowing that cloud along, those winds will take that cloud sheet in across eastern areas of the country. the big problem is the computer models are doing well with this cloud, you can see there's no where near extensive enough. but we won't see that cloud sheet come in across northeastern scotland, eastern areas of england, up to the pennines and across the midlands, into parts of east anglia. that will keep the frost at bay for these areas, but further west we are looking at clear skies, and it will

after all, they heard it in britain, judging by the way sunaki volodymyr zelensky flew. to the airbase where ukrainian pilots are trained and britain can become the first country to provide ukraine with its fighter planes as far as possible and to what extent britain can ask tons here in this situation because we know that literally 10 days ago when the president of the united states joseph biden of america was asked whether the americans are ready to provide the ukrainians with f-16s, he briefly answered no, if britain decides to transfer fighter jets to ukraine, how much it will affect the general international tone and further the transfer of fighter jets by other countries, for the first time, the answer to it did not mean no, never, no, on the very day when he was asked precisely for the strategy and tactics of providing weapons, and this is obviously the opinion of many who are in the pentagon, where the department and in the council the national security of the states is working on this, it is not in any way. no, in the future, the second moment is the provision of aircraft. thi

this question volodymyr zelensky was asked by the ukrainians themselves a little more than a month agoy his voters. they even dispersed a petition on the net, where they demanded that they ban the export of grain from the country, option two, the first administration of vladimir zelensky is trying to introduce a normal trade policy, regardless of the circumstances in the country and at the borders, the second administration of vladimir zelensky considers himself responsible for weapons and information support. the west has to pay for them with the food well-being of the country, and it is noteworthy here that none of the saviors grain does not fursit sums that ukraine will receive for it, from which the conclusion suggests itself that it will not receive grain and still goes to pay off for military assistance. in this case, the west feigns love for ukraine, which is not only insulting for any partner, but leads to real hunger, not to one in which after murzat children and shoe soup, but to one in which there is a shortage of fabulous prices for products from western partners. and human

volodymyr zelensky's visit is being followed by our european correspondent bohdan tsyupin. he is joining our studio right now from london. greetings bohdane. so president zelensky is visiting a western european country for the first time since the start of a full-scale war. why right now why was london chosen and what can this visit change in the course of the war for accuracy it is worth noting that er during the visit on the way to of the united states in december of last year, the ukrainian president visited poland, and of course this is eastern europe, but nevertheless , every foreign official visit of the ukrainian president during the active phase of the russian war in ukraine obviously deserves serious and special attention as regards the visit to great britain, why now? i think it is certain. i think the time has come . i think the visit to the united states showed that the ukrainian president can visit allies, that these visits are necessary to mobilize support for this visit to the united states. showed that allies and partners of ukraine in response to this increa

we heard volodymyr zelensky there saying that - zelensky there saying that dithering could potentiallynk he has a point? i countries. do you think he has a oint? , ., , a point? i understand why he sa s a point? i understand why he says that _ a point? i understand why he says that and _ a point? i understand why he says that and i _ a point? i understand why he says that and i don't - a point? i understand why he says that and i don't blame l a point? i understand why he i says that and i don't blame him for saying that and the word dithering is a little dismissive of the western effort that has orally pumped $100 billion into his country in the last 12 months and the pace at which we have helped the ukrainian development of a military arm itself to a high level of technological sophistication is without precedent —— already pumped. it is not dithering. the tank decision may have been a little slow but it's going to take some time to train people on the systems and the same thing would be true for aircraft so i understand he wanted to create a sense of urgency but if he creates a sens

president volodymyr zelensky _ in this congress as well.

volodymyr zelensky insists that is country can win this war. here's what he said the troops earlier today. >> translator: it depends entirely on you weather we all survived or whether ukraine survives. every day, every hour depends on you. the ukrainian soldier. you are our most important person who is a standing and thanks to millions of ukrainians are standing. and thanks the home ukraine will survive. thanks to you, lord ukraine, will ring out for every. >> let's bring in correspondent carissa ward on the ground in the capital of ukraine. so, tell us what it's like, when you're in. >> reporter: it's a mixed picture. the fact that i'm talking to you from here in kyiv is something that a year ago we might not have expected because all of the intelligence of services was saying the city would fall in the matter of days. and here we are, it still standing, the lights are still on as you can see mine me despite the fact that russia has been launching a vicious campaign throughout this winter targeting critical infrastructure. ukrainians i made a

today in the program you will not learn how volodymyr zelensky manages humanitarian aid?t happens in the apparatus of the president of ukraine when another batch of prohibited substances is brought there? you have already seen and explained that any cooperation with the west always ends with the script of german films for adults . you will be tilted and brought to your knees. and finally, today's program in a different way for a young man, but already a mathematician, it was clear that the russian factorials are the most textured in the world, his strict suit and dreadlocks hinted. who could be bob marley if he was doing serious things? this week the president examined sobyanin in geometry sobyanin, the lord of the rings , rings the capital so quickly that even ornithologists envy him. a little more and the age of the capital can be determined by the number of rings of its subway. the president noted the high pace and quality of moscow's development, as well as the fact that it copes with traffic better than other megacities, that even standing in moscow traffic jams, cap

commitments regarding provision of combat aircraft, volodymyr zelenskynounced this afternoon that there are certain positive decisions regarding western fighters , but so far without details. well, the head of the office president andriy yarmak, who accompanied zelensky on this european tour, initially stated today that the matter of providing ukraine with long-range fighter jet weapons has been resolved, and about an hour has passed, yarmak changed his message in a telegram and wrote that the issue of long-range weapons and fighter jets for ukraine looks like it can be resolved. to be resolved, the difference is significant, nevertheless, the call to go to the next step and consider the possibilities of providing fighter jets to ukraine today from european top officials in brussels sounded both at the summit and at the eu summit and in which volodymyr zelensky participated and his speech in which parliament was monitored by my colleagues, correspondent of the present time channel yevgenia taganovychi, correspondent of radio freedom in the european union

. 0nly a visit to the uk. —— volodymyr zelensky.russian invasion almost a year ago. we have seen throughout the last 12 months strong political support from the uk, with visits by boris johnson, liz truss, rishi sunak and that the political support, that very visible political support that was followed up by logistical support and, most significantly, just in the last few weeks, confirmation from the united kingdom that it would be sending challenger tanks to ukraine ahead of a expected spring offensive. president zelensky has repeated over and over that tanks are what ukraine needs, not only to hold the ground it has got to potentially retake ground from russian forces and to try to push russian forces and to try to push russian forces and to try to push russian forces out of ukraine, so the uk announced recently that it would be sending challenger tanks, and that was followed by the ramstein conference in germany. we saw the us defence secretary there, and that led to pledges of further support in the form of tanks being sent by a

kaufman the star actor came to ukraine about which almost knew nothing about making a film about volodymyr zelensky, a kind of hollywood success story. we planned to make a film about a showman comedian who became the president. we came to kyiv on february 23, talked with zelensky and agreed to meet next in the middle of the night, with a camera, rocket fire began. pen and his team returned to kyiv to shoot a film about courage , resilience and spirit, about the super strength of the ukrainian people. ukrainian hugs and courage. i believe that ukrainians are the new beatles of the world and we should just keep listening to their music until they win their victory and go eat borscht. the team filmed in kyiv on the front line in donetsk oblast in a camp for refugees in neighboring poland, the film is based on the conversations of the residents of ukraine, the military, who are protecting volunteers and politicians , including president zelensky. our next meeting he was in camouflage and his country was in a state of war and there was a feeling at this moment in the film that he was reincarnated. he d

valentyn kim and besides all that says that by holding hands with volodymyr zelensky, mr.ing , on the one hand , to earn bonuses for himself in his political sphere in france, because volodymyr zelensky appears to french society as a collective image of all ukrainians who are fighting against such an enemy as russia. well, the fact that the behavior of the leader of france has changed. it 's up to us, but we don't have to be completely happy about it, because mr. emanuel may have his own interests there. colleagues met, you know, and it’s really nice to see each other. well, especially when they were holding hands. well, what’s the matter , my god? well, who says that some people hold hands just like that, and it was already too intimate? well, not me. valentin who is volodymyr zelenskyi somewhere in the area of ​​the abdomen of the chest well, this is already a very, very personal contact even to interpret something uncomfortable words of valentina kina aryna pryzaeva head and head founder of the cultural and educational society of solidarity, cooperation and friendship a

in a joint news conference, president biden thanked volodymyr zelensky and renewed what he called thes democracy. so, president zelensky, you deeply honour me here in kyiv with you today. to meet with your military, your intelligence folks, your diplomatic teams, community leaders who have stepped up to help their country in their hour of need. it is astounding who stood up, everybody. everybody. women, young children, trying to do something, just trying to do something. pulling people out of apartments that were being shelled, and literally war crimes. it is astounding. the whole world sees it. and looks at it. this is the largest land war in europe in three quarters of a century. and you are succeeding against all and every expectation except your own. we have every confidence that you are going to continue to prevail. you know, from the moment i first received an intelligence report in the fall about a year ago, we were focused on determining how do we rally the rest of the world? how do i help you with the promise you asked me to make to rally the world? well, how do you succeed?

well, and now about the personnel, volodymyr zelensky submitted to the verkhovna rada a proposal to appointyl the kid as the head of the security service of ukraine, obviously the vote will take place in the coming days, vasyl the kid, i let me remind you that he has been temporarily acting as the head of the sbu since july 22nd, after zelensky removed the former head of arms, ivan bakanov, by the way, where ivan bakanov is now is unknown. and this is important because i i would like to remind you that the president removed bakanov from his post for improper performance of duties, which led to human casualties. radio svoboda, i should also mention that we requested an interview with vasyl the kid, but so far we have not received a positive answer. we are waiting, maybe after the appointment, vasyl the kid will agree to talk to you. well, the current day could actually become more abundant for personnel rotations in the security and defense sector, but something went wrong. i mean the news about the resignation of the minister of defense oleksiy reznikov resignation it didn't happen at least

it comes despite increased pressure from ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky for urgent air supportlp protect its skies from russian attacks. president zelensky has marked the first anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine by hailing his nation's year of invincibility. he said his country had endured a year of pain, but that victory was inevitable with continued western support. our kyiv correspondent, james waterhouse, reports on how the first anniversary was marked. the morning war rained down on ukraine. air raid siren. a shadow with haunting consequences. the once unthinkable playing out as the world looked on. 150,000 russian troops moving in from three directions. ukraine's leader had offers to leave. but he stayed... ..and is still here. this is a bittersweet day for ukraine, a reminder of remarkable survival and extraordinary loss. i kindly ask everyone to observe a minute of silence in memory of the victims of the aggression. i thank you, mr president. russia doesn't see this as a day worth marking. at the united nations, even a moment of reflection turned into an argume

president of great britain , this happened and our users noticed it, and here it is written: volodymyr zelenskysident of britain, and meanwhile, another tv channel made a mistake in another way. well , i don’t know how to interpret it, because they signed they see president zelensky as the president of yet another country, so is the whole world of portugal and the president of russia, that’s how they probably know something, it’s not really russia, and they feel that the president of the real russia is russia and one, not russia . let's call it ours in portuguese. we've already started, that is, the extreme west of the european continent, well, let 's go a little bit faster now. one must first distinguish a joke from the truth, but in every joke there is of course the fate of its own truth, or do we use all kinds of experts ? they always take a part of the truth and mix it with lies and lies, and on this they leave their rotten and bad discourses, the truth is that andriy and i we're finishing up with seichuk, and now the first part of our marathon has been poured. thank you for being with us,

life ukraine can become a full member of the european union in 2025, this is what president volodymyr zelenskyredicted at the investment summit, he is convinced that we will become members of nato even sooner , as soon as we win the war today there are certain pessimists among world leaders who believe that ukraine needs 10 years to become a member of the eu , but they mostly know us, sometimes they are even afraid of our spirit, our energy, so we we see that we can be in the eu in two years and we need security guarantees, the best guarantee for ukraine will be membership in nato. and we believe that we will be in nato before all the leaders decide that our security guarantee package is appropriate because they make decisions slowly. there is bureaucracy all over the world, there is bureaucracy at different levels. i will remind you that ukraine's course for membership in the european union and nato has been officially enshrined in our constitution for almost 4 years. in 2022, we officially became a candidate for membership in the european union. the european commission named seven recommenda

here of this international meeting in poland, biden is the polish president and obviously our volodymyr zelensky visit poland these days, also talks about the period from february 20 to twenty-second - this is the beginning of next week, and here it is important that what can be announced at these meetings, so what can they talk about and they say that it is possible. the ukrainian president will talk about some formula for peace that we will present. what are your thoughts on this, and what are the forecasts? thank you, natalya. good health . dear colleagues, i want to bow my head. in front of our heroes, in front of our soldiers, thank you, dear friends, that you understand your historical responsibility, because today is really about whether you live not only in ukraine, that you live in a democratic world, and it is ukraine, apparently, chosen by god to to overcome this russian horde, why in the 21st century and not only in the 21st century , of course, we are paying a crazy price, but i guess this is our historical mission, we created this monster, we have to destroy this monster, regarding

this is freedom life my name is vlasta lazur a challenge to nato and all collective security volodymyr zelensky called the passage of russian missiles through the airspace of moldova and romania, in romania they declare that the russian missile did not violate nato space who is telling lies, for what purpose in moldova, meanwhile, the government headed by prime minister nataliya havrylitsa resigned and declared that moldova is entering a new phase the basis of which is security, how to understand it and whether it is connected with the kremlin's appetites for moldova well, the next luhansk region, the ukrainian authorities confirm that attacks on the region have intensified, the head of the luhansk region noted that russian troops planned to leave luhansk region towards the city of liman in donetsk region, let's talk about it live svoboda life this morning an air alert was announced throughout ukraine, later explosions were heard in kyiv , kharkiv, kryvyi rih, khmelnytskyi, as well as in lviv , odesa, dnipropetrovsk, zaporizhzhia, and poltava regions, there were hits on objects energy infrastru

no, there is no doubt that volodymyr zelensky will ask, uh, 27 european heads of state for four moremaybe even fighter jets. she now the eu countries must quickly envisage, as a next step, the supply of long-range missile systems and fighter aircraft, in which ukraine needs glory to ukraine well, zelensky is a good actor, but as an actor, he forgot that momentary success is a delayed failure. yes, it should be noted that with the general applause that volodymyr zelensky plucked from prime minister viktor orban. kants. the austrians did not share the general enthusiasm. later in his parliament. for example, he tried not to notice the presence of the president of ukraine at all . in poland, vladimir zelensky is so loved that during his visit to london, polish television named him. who do you think the president of great britain has such a freudian clause. although i may not have a reservation, it’s true how delighted rishe sunna was with such an unexpected appointment. well, we, in fact, show you everything as it is only strongly. apparently it has been hammered into western heads that

mildly, an excellent point of view and position , unlike the political president zelensky and volodymyr zelensky - the most professional military knows perfectly well that the war must be stopped. and i really liked the question from western journalists. how does the president feel about the fact that he is considered a dictator there, and alexander grigorievich answered this attack in the most kind and friendly way, but honestly, you know, honestly i will tell you that you are in the west here you think that here is a dictatorship. this is a plus for me. soon you yourself will call the dictatorship in the west, full of laxity. there is no dictatorship, no democracy, there is nothing there, but look in france for a million. once more than 2 million took to the streets and people will push you to solve problems. and in order to solve the problem, decisions must be made. we in belarus make decisions on certain issues and solve certain problems. yes, i have to either intervene or make most of the decisions. if you consider it a dictatorship, but the lord is with you, but i care about what you say.

volodymyr zelensky has been addressing the munich security conference, where delegates are focusing oninvited to attend. president zelensky said the speed of action was crucial — and that there is no alternative to ukrainian victory. my freedom been the subject of compromise — no, and it's a rock—solid no. i'm confident that we can gain victory not only over putin, but also over putins, not only over putins in russia, but all around the world. wouldn't this be a proof of that power of the idea of freedom? it will definitely be. let's hear more on this from justin crump — he's the chief executive of the intelligence company sibylline — and a former british army tank commander. it's not a new message for us to hear from it's not a new message for us to hearfrom ukraine. zelensky has been saying that we need better weapons and need this now. it has always been a slow process because we have international diplomatic factors, particularly in germany and then you have the military factors, militaries don't want to give up their current weapons because they feel that they might need them in t

from his uh speech online today at the opening of the munich security conference and there volodymyr zelenskyreally uh i again, as with tanks, i will take responsibility and say in advance that there is no doubt that the issue of aircraft will be resolved, it will take a little more time, and the fight for aircraft must be structured a little differently than the struggle for tanks in order to get a result, but this work has already begun, and the beginning of this full-scale campaign for planes can be considered the speech of the president of ukraine in the parliament of great britain . that you really can't waste time and you can't procrastinate with decisions because ah every procrastination is primarily the life of ukrainians and dmytro kuleba made a convincing statement that ukraine will eventually get western combat aircraft dmytro kuleba actually came to this briefing after a meeting with nato secretary general stoltenberg and stated that nato is ready to double or even triple its efforts to support ukraine and it is primarily about ammunition and shells. on the sidelines of the munich

president volodymyr zelensky thanked the parliament of norway for its support, because this help preserveshe president, there is confidence that we will remain free, we will definitely win peace and preserve our self-respect, russia does not will overcome our with you, the unity of all who value freedom the kremlin will not make intimidated and terror the new norm for europe, terrorist states will not convince anyone that killing and robbing is better than living according to the law and cooperating and the russian flag will not take root on the occupied territory of ukraine israel will support president zelenskyi's proposal peace formula and will provide ukraine with a loan of 200 million dollars for health care and civil infrastructure projects , israeli foreign minister eli koin said at a joint at a press conference with the head of the ukrainian foreign ministry, dmytro kuleya, he also promised that his country would help in creating an early warning system about an air threat from its side. dmytro kuleba emphasized that ukraine expects to play a role in the decision to provide militar

the president of ukraine, his excellency volodymyr zelensky.en the world thinks of ukraine, they think of heroes fighting the odds. of david beating goliath. but he did not make this rare trip out of ukraine just for warm words or symbolism. flanked here by eu chiefs, he is on the march for more weapons, those that have been promised and those that have not, including western fighter jets. he said he can't return to ukraine empty—handed. translation: | haven't got | the right, i simply haven't got the right to go back home without the results. that depends on international partners and me personally. for me, it's very important that all the talks we conduct can lead to a result. president zelensky may want to talk about weapons deliveries and fighter jets but that isn't really what this summit is for. ukraine is emphasising a sense of urgency but for some european leaders, they are wary of rushing into big decisions. mr rutte, do you have little question for the bbc? just one? anxious not to escalate a war that is between ukraine and russia. do
