president of ukraine, supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi. how he started this year and with what he came to the finish line this year and what can be expected in the actions, decisions, and words of the president of 2024. let's see. in january 2023, the head of the president's office andriy yermak defined the goals: victory, the attention of the whole world to ukraine, cooperation with... countries of the global south, as well as china and india. a year has passed, what went wrong? the counteroffensive, it was supposed to begin in the summer and the shores of azov were to be ours again, but the lack of weapons, the lack of aircraft, the three lines of enemy defense turned the promised banked a victorious march to melitopol for a bloody, exhausting struggle, for every meter they paid in blood. the diplomatic front also asked: the july nato summit in vilnius did not give an answer when. the photo of president zelensky at the summit, separate from the group of western leaders, eloquently illustrates the reality, added to the fire and absentee d

people, god, partners, i don't know who else, all this helped, well there were many questions to volodymyr zelenskyi, and journalists to speak... several hundred gathered today. in the last meeting with representatives of zmi zelenskyi in june, just before the start of the counteroffensive, which was expected both in ukraine and in the west. and what was the mood today, has the president's rhetoric changed? we are talking about it with my colleague, bbc correspondent sviatoslav khomenko. hello, good evening. so, the first thing i want to ask about is: did you see the same zelensky that you saw at the previous press conferences, what do you personally feel? caught my eye. good evening, ola. well, it was rather our old, familiar zelensky than some new one. he still prefers to talk about topics in the field of conditional international affairs, about his contacts with world leaders, than about some internal problems. when asked about internal problems, he usually answered that he lacked something banal. to monitor them, whether the government or the military or someone else is responsible for their dec

directly, i apologize, more precisely, of the government of volodymyr zelenskyi, directly theense of ukraine, is that ukraine is said to be in a state of war. and it is not always possible to predict when the president of ukraine will be able to make any appeal or not. yes, yes, we have heard these explanations, of course, but it is difficult to imagine something more important at the moment than the continuation of american aid to ukraine, so, of course, we will find out in the future what they could be reasons thank you very much, kateryna lisunova, a correspondent of the ukrainian voice of america service, joined us live from washington. thank you, katya. and the us secretary of state. anthony. said that ending aid to ukraine would allow president vladimir putin to continue his aggressive plans with impunity and that if the united states did not approve aid to ukraine, it would open pandora's box, listen up. we must ensure that ukraine continues to succeed, we must ensure that russia continues to suffer defeat in its aggression against ukraine. but if we don't, we know that

volodymyr zelenskyi, to be co-owners of trademarks, league u, country, country u, league of laughter on, and also now mr. zelenskyi has certain... this is indicated in the last declaration published by the president in 2020, that is , he indicated drive production, now we will see about this in a fresh declaration, we are waiting for it and will see certain connections or their absence, and that's what, what it turns out that naum barulya, he actually has russian citizenship, has a business in the occupation, and while he's here he's still trying to... some state budget money, in particular you note that he applied for state funding in ukraine for his new comedy series, and am i correct in my understanding that if at that time against the background of a completely different project, it seems the project of yuri gorbunov, when they wanted to shoot the series ingulets, a big scandal arose against the background of this, and society said, well, stop financing series with budget money, the money is needed at the front for the war, that is, if that scandal had not broken out, then if i u

others to start to pare back as this war goes on. >> the russian military could not defeat volodymyr zelenskyy and the coronaukrainians in kyi. maybe u.s. politics can. a symbolic picture we've been looking at now of zelenskyy flanked by majority leader chuck schumer and the minority leader mitch mcconnell there. bipartisan support at the leadership level for zelenskyy, but on the republican side and the rank and file maybe not the same picture. so after capitol hill, zelenskyy will head to the white house. cnn has more. what can we expect? >> reporter: john, president biden personally invited ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy here to washington hoping that he could make that urgent appeal to lawmakers and move the needle when it comes to getting support for aid for ukraine. after the meetings on capitol hill this morning, zelenskyy will be here for one-on-one meetings with president biden as well as a news conference with reporters. it really comes at a time when the white house has been warning that there is no backup plan if the $60 billion in aid for ukraine is not passed. this morni

but ukraine will not surrender - emphasized volodymyr zelenskyi.ttach to our broadcast oleksii hetman. columnist, participant in the russian-ukrainian war, major reserve, oleksiy, congratulations , thank you for joining us, i congratulate you, and what do you think is the most important thing to characterize this new stage in the war, which the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy is talking about, well - first, he drew attention to the fact that everyone understands that he too, well, he also focused our attention on this, that the conditions for waging war should be slightly different in winter, especially in that period, the beginning of winter , the end of winter, that is, when the soil is soft and when moving equipment, any equipment , heavy, even not very heavy, on the road is extremely difficult, therefore, during this period until severe frosts, we will focus on counter-battery fighting, on reconnaissance activities on fighting with the help of our disembodied aerial vehicles, well, wherever we can do... sabotage actions, starting with

press conference of president volodymyr zelenskyi. what the head of state talked about.istening without listening. what does a bug mean in a handyman's office. a threat to the security of the event. putin has said that he does not want to go to war with nato countries, but is this really true? we talk about this and other things during the next hour with ours. today's guests are volodymyr tsybulko, general viktor yagun and oleksandr musienko. in the second part of our program, which will start in an hour. people's deputies of ukraine, yaroslav yurchyshyn, victoria syumar and elizaveta yasko. however, before we start our big conversation, let's watch a video of how the fighters of the 10th separate mountain assault brigade delweis on the eastern front destroyed three russian tanks and two combat vehicles. not infantry and hit one bmp, let's see. friends, for those who are currently watching us on youtube and facebook, please like this video and also vote in our survey, today we ask you about whether you trust the president. as well as phone lines, on the screen you see ph

i will remind you that during the final press conference volodymyr zelenskyy answered categorically: no, to the bbc correspondent's question about whether there is a danger that ukraine will begin to lose this war. zelenskyi also... said that the price of victory is very high and agreed that ukraine has difficulties, which, among other things, are related to the lack of artillery shells and anti-tank weapons. the president was also asked about counteroffensive plans and prospects at the front. if at the beginning of the year he answered such questions more cheerfully and even promised that 2023 would be the year of victory. here, for example, this time the president refrained from such promises, the question of war plans and failures on the front, it even seems that... that he was annoyed in the 24th year, will the war end? i think that no one knows the answer, not even those respectable people, our commanders, or our western partners, when they say that this is a war for many years, they do not know , i'm sorry to return to the example of a three-day triumph of a sick person. but nev

that's a million ukraine plans to produce drones next year, president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi said during a press conference. let's hear more about the domestic production of weapons. regarding the production of a million drones next year, we will produce a million, we will do, well, we will do everything to make it so. i know that it will be so. as for the artillery, the artillery will increase, 155 caliber. unfortunately , it is still very difficult with the shots, a very scarce product, the systems are understood, here the lines need to be added, and it is very difficult, there there is a shortage of gunpowder, etc., many different issues, we have to work on it, we can't relax, that's why we don't collect on the mavics anymore, the state always, no, it's simple, what's called i'm adding furiously to the last word. not everyone picked up a machine gun, but everyone did something , we all lived this war, and then we began to win, then we surprised the whole world, and then something happened that once upon a time, long before i was born, comrade stalin called vertigo from suc

we are looking at the pictures right now of volodymyr zelenskyy walking on capitol hill. this is what he had to say. all right. it looks like he did not address the remarks but he is walking into the meeting that is currently on going with, he is going to meet with speaker johnson, and at a critical moment here. and what zelenskyy's pitch is that aid is needed immediately, and even as the u.s. lawmakers are grappling with the issue of tightening laws with the border of mexico to prevent an influx of migrants, and that debate is nowhere resolved at this moment, and this is where ukraine aid could be halted, but i am told that it could still come through, and senate majority leader chuck schumer made clear the warnings that zelenskyy made behind closed doors, and he said that it is time for the congress to act. >> even as many of the republican colleagues talked about how we are winning this war, and if we get the help that, if he gets the help he needs, he will win. on the other hand, he made it clear, and we all made it clear that if we lose, putin wins, and this is going

why did volodymyr zelenskyy go to argentina and did ukraine enlist the support of latin american countries. on the air of bbc news ukraine, in the studio of jafer rumerov. warm hugs with javier miley and intense dialogue with the hungarian leader viktor orbán. what to president zelenskyi? managed to achieve in argentina and what will this visit change in ukraine's relations with the latin american region? not only in attempts to prevent the world from forgetting about the war in ukraine and to acquire more allies among western countries, but also in latin american countries, zelensky visited argentina. there he took part in the inauguration of the newly elected president... javier miley. he supported ukraine from the beginning of the full-scale invasion, and this is important, because miley is close in views to, for example, donald trump or viktor orban, who advocate dialogue with russia. by the way, zelenskyi had the opportunity to talk with the latter. in general, the countries of latin america are divided into three groups, if we talk about the attitude to russia's war against ukraine.

be considered until the end of this year, and a compromise is unlikely, and we also saw that volodymyr zelenskyi came to washington with traditional geopolitical arguments, but he came to a bipartisan conversation that revolves around domestic issues, and therefore these geopolitical arguments, they actually did not work, that is, zelenskyi and senators ... spoke completely different languages, for zelensky, as we heard during the press conference, it was important to emphasize that ukraine is at war with an authoritarian state, that is, he emphasized the values ​​that unite ukraine and the united states in the war against russia, but for the senators, for the republicans, the values ​​they have now are of secondary importance, the primary importance is to demonstrate that, to demonstrate that joe biden does not think about the southern border. a demonstration that the biden administration despises or ignores the needs of ordinary americans, and therefore volodymyr zelenskyi's argument, unfortunately, could not be effective in this dispute, in this debate. yulia, speaking of the final press conf

president volodymyr zelenskyi also commented on the new plan mobilization plan, he said that now the ministry of defense is working on this plan, and in the course of discussing the issue of mobilization changes, the military proposed to call up about 500 thousand people additionally, according to the president, mobilization in this way will cost an additional 500 billion for the country, please in more detail directly, i have not yet seen demobilization there, although i believe that this is the number one issue, and as for finances, between us, mobilization in this format will cost ukraine an additional 500 billion hryvnias, so i, as president of ukraine, as a person who gives a lot... of his time to find one or another financial support for ukraine. i would like an understanding from the prime minister, from the minister of finance, and where does the money come from? ugh. the president also said that russia won't have a single victory on the battlefield this year, because it never managed to reach the administrative borders of donbass. today we are talking about the defeat, we ar

, the first lady of ukraine , olena zelska, says that she does not want to see her husband, volodymyr zelenskyident in the future. i don't want him to was the president for the next term or the following terms, says olena zelska. i have a question for a colleague, you have the following. well, how about your president, zelski, to remain president. peace and not become the president of the next stage, which will begin with the restoration of ukraine, the president of a country that will start sawing this money, which will necessarily come for the restoration of ukraine, because such a danger actually exists, if zelenskyi and his entourage want a friend of the presidential term, then this , the entire image of the president, who seeks victory and leads ukraine to victory, it will simply dissipate very quickly, because we see how, in principle, the west reprimands corruption in ukraine, we see how judges are taken with bribes, we see how heads of central authorities are taken with bribes, and well it will obviously continue as well, what do you think about it, anjo? you know, serhiy, i think that,

and let me remind you that last week volodymyr zelenskyi, since last week volodymyr zelenskyi has been on foreign trips, he visited argentina, the usa and norway. the ukrainian president also spoke at the summit in the format of a video address. of eu leaders, which started in brussels today. plus 900 million international dollars support to ensure macroeconomic stability in ukraine. today, the international monetary fund provided ukraine with the third tranche of financing under the enhanced financing mechanism program. minister of finance serhii marchenko called this financial assistance powerful and extremely important. the funds will be used to finance priority expenditures of the state budget under martial law. in general , the imf program. which was adopted in march of this year, provides for the allocation of more than 15 billion dollars to ukraine within four years years currently, ukraine has attracted about four 4.5 billion. well, the american administration took an unprecedented step in order to satisfy the congressmen, to get votes for biden's one hundred billion dollar pac

after that , volodymyr zelenskyy did not comment on this meeting. the meeting was closed.ate majority leader chuck schumer went to the press after the meeting and told what was there was happening he said that the meeting was very powerful, that president zelensky managed to convey to congress the issue that the issue of aid to ukraine is urgent, and that in order for ukraine to win, this aid must be approved right now, without delay . in addition, he also said that president zelensky managed to explain that only vladimir putin will benefit from what ukraine loses, and i quote chuck schumer said that ... we cannot allow putin, through his associates, to influence what we can do for ukraine. in addition , he said that president zelensky emphasized that the united states is a leader in supporting ukraine, and if the united states stops providing aid now, it will raise many questions among allies in europe. after the meeting with the senate , president zelensky will have a meeting, a scheduled meeting with the speaker of the house of representatives, mike dcho. and it is from

volodymyr zelenskyi met with american... senators in washington, this is reported in the telegram channelf the president of ukraine, he told the senators about the security and economic situation, and spoke about the importance of maintaining american support. let me remind you that zelenskyi arrived in the usa against the backdrop of the republicans blocking the provision of aid to ukraine. we will ask voice of america correspondent julia yarmolenko about the details of the visit. yuli, congratulations, tell me how the meeting went. congratulations colleagues, actually the meeting took place this morning, indeed, first volodymyr zelenskyi met with the senator, later actually with the leaders in the house of representatives, this is mike johnson, as well as hakeem jeffries, and this is exactly what it looks like from the republican leader in the house of representatives, speaker johnson, and the whole idea of , that tying ukrainian aid, voting for ukrainian aid, to directly strengthening the security of the american border, this is extremely important. week now on the capital hill, becaus

i also support volodymyr zelenskyi in this.sia will not negotiate with us, and it should not be under no illusions. when some ephemeral talks about negotiations begin, i immediately remember lavrov's well-known phrase: let's take into account the realities on the ground, that is, let's take into account the fact that 20% of the ukrainian territory is occupied, this is the largest territory in europe, since... 1945, which is in force occupied, well, considering the size of ukraine and other things, you understand, and the russians get a lot of profit from this, i am not talking about the torture of our peaceful citizens, the mapping of prisoners, what is happening, that is, the fact that war crimes are being committed there, it real direct facts, but i ca n’t imagine ukrainian…politics, what kind of large-scale invasion has been going on for almost 22 months, who will become: well, let’s go, we’ll stop and we’ll negotiate, i honestly can’t, well, zelensky can have a lot flaws, fewer flaws, but in this sense he, i think, realizes

let's listen to what he said volodymyr zelenskyi. mr.ntative, as well as all those whom i appointed or who came with me, someone, someone i am very grateful for, someone i am ashamed of, and as for any... comments on facebook, i'm sorry, i don't do that , i don't have time, i don't have time for daily, daily, daily these unnecessary dialogues, fruitless, and as for maryana, they have several more people there. where it is very difficult, they all really like to comment, like, on facebook, they often communicate there, they have dialogues, they in the first days, then they go to the front together, then they quarrel, these are difficult questions , to be honest with me, that’s why i told you, it seems to me that we all need to give results to the state every day, and we will have time for a selfie, mr. alexander, is this enough ... answers in order to say that there are no issues at all between zelenskyi and zaluzhny, well , at least such fundamental ones that would simply prevent them from cooperating, or at least that we see this confli

so, today volodymyr zelenskyi gave a big two-hour press conference. there were many questions, there were much said, much. we got answers, we didn't get many answers, in my opinion, these answers, which society and journalists were waiting for, could be much more than what we heard and saw. president zelenskyy spoke about mobilization, as journalists asked the head of the ukrainian state what will happen to mobilization as a result of the adoption of new laws in the verkhovna rada of ukraine. we can get what volodymyr zelensky said about the mobilization of about 500,000 people. question. very sensitive, i believe they appealed, about the defense of our country and potential counteroffensive actions, about the deficit, and their view was on the stake that they proposed to mobilize an additional 450-500 thousand people, this is a very serious number, i said that i need more arguments in order to support this direction , because this is first of all a question of people, and the second is a question of justice, it is a question of defense capability and

another year of war, the final press conference of president volodymyr zelenskyi. statements from the head of state. control over europe and the collapse of nato, putin's goal in the war against ukraine and the forecast for 2024. ukraine is on the way to eu membership, what steps have already been taken and what still needs to be done? in the course of our program today, we ask you the following question: do you trust president zelensky? yes, no, if you watch us on youtube, it's pretty simple, two options, yes, no, or yours. write a comment please under the video, if you watch us on tv, during the telecast, you can pick up the phone and vote: yes 0800 211 381, if you trust zelensky no, 0800 211 382. we conducted such a survey a few days ago regarding the head of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhnyi, you know, friends, that there are a lot of similar polls about trustees... trusts are conducted by sociological services, well, we decided to conduct this survey as well. i would like to introduce the guests of today's studio, they are people's deputies of ukra

general, on the day when volodymyr zelenskyi actually held a large press conference, vladimir putin declareda, according to him, is the only guarantor. sovereignty and integrity of ukraine. let's listen to what putin said. russia was the only guarantor of ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. russia, when the soviet union was created, it simply handed over, along with the population, the vast historical territories of russia. huge potential invested colossal resources. in all this territory, the western lands of ukraine, well, we know everything, how did ukraine get it? after the second world war, stalin gave away part of the polish lands. mr. general, considering what putin says, he always lies and tries to interpret history according to his own. kalami, but judging by what he says, does this mean that he likes ukraine perceived, and continues to perceive, a part of russia, a part of the russian federation, this means that he is ready for our land and fight with ukrainians to the very end. that's right, for him, ukraine does not exist as a state, including belarus does not exist

dmytro, what did you hear in this answer of volodymyr zelenskyi?nk that it would have been said precisely enough, yes, that is, i , by the way, too, with what exactly, what exactly we are about, what we can be sure of, that we have formed support directly from. of the united states and support is bipartisan, it exists and it will continue, but, you know, here that forecast can be about the possible impact of a decrease in activity, and what the president talked about will become more politics, maybe in this case politics will become more internal, well, that is, this traditional american isolationism... which actually, by the way, is also from did not appear with trump, yes, that is, he was always there, and we remember how the united states entered the second world war there, for example, yes, what resistance was offered, and only the japanese attack on pier harborbor basically changed this situation somewhere, then there is nothing unexpected about it either no, and we already see, by the way, certain changes in european politics, more actively,

volodymyr zelenskyi is the only person who has never been involved in politics, suddenly got involvedtical infrastructure is built like this, look at the parliament, look at the renewal of the deputy corps that took place. in 2019 , one way or another, volodymyr zelenskyi is a person known to the general public, the people who voted for him, let them vote for the image, but they saw this person on their television screens during decades, and when they went and voted for deputies, they generally voted for people about whom they never knew anything, a political program of which they were completely unaware, they simply voted and persuaded solidarity so that the deputies had someone who was not was, well, now we are, as a result , when it comes to... chances to save the country and the state, to save, because i say once again, this is the issue of the so-called final solution of the ukrainian issue to the russians, it is not just that, we we can lose a part there territory, no, this is a completely different story, whether there will be a ukrainian state on this territory, whether russia

we provoking this ourselves, you understand, i have been saying for more than a month that volodymyr zelenskyiand valery zaluzhnyi should issue a joint statement and say that we are fighting to victories, full stop, and i think this would be spread not only by the ukrainian, but by all the world media, because it would be the number one news, well, you see, we have not seen such a joint selfie or a joint video yet, it was for... a question, by the way, from cnn, it seems that zelensky is afraid that ukrainian society will be divided, and on against the background of these misunderstandings, possibly public ones, between zelensky and zaluzhny, i will also mention the sociology of kmist recently. that they presented, zaluzhnyi’s rating is higher than zelenskyi’s rating, but there is a unifying factor: 59% of ukrainians trust both, whether there are risks against the background of such public conflicts or talks about such conflicts, which may or may not exist, we we don't really have confirmation, but could there be a disunited ukrainian society here or on the background of some other issues? i t

state department, matthew miller, in response to a request from journalists to comment on volodymyr zelenskyi'sords regarding confidence in american support. miller noted that if congress does not pass a bill that provides. help for ukraine there is no other magical source of funding. we are ready to support additional financing for ukraine. we have one package left within the presidential powers that we can provide to ukraine this year, and then we will exhaust our capacity to provide additional security assistance. so i think that's a question for the us congress. we made it clear that we wanted something extra. we 've used those funding streams, we've almost exhausted them, and in the next few weeks we're going to completely exhaust them, and that's why we need congress to act. meanwhile , congressional wrangling continues over immigration legislation that now hinges on more than $60 billion in additional aid. the country legislators although they claim to have made progress in the negotiations, they add that they need more time. let me remind you that the house of representatives went on re

the president of ukraine in the usa, the results of volodymyr zelenskyi's visit to washington.d package for ukraine in the amount of 200 million dollars was signed by the president of the united states of america, joe biden. he announced this during the beginning of negotiations with the president of ukraine volodyr zelenskyi. then the direct speech of both leaders. our priority for 2024 is clear: push back russia and stop their advance, and it is realistic. also another important matter. i met yesterday with defense companies. thank you. mr. president, these are very powerful companies. i thank all workers, engineers, managers for sending american weapons that help ukraine strengthen its arsenal of democracy. wait, i have more to add. i just signed another $200 million aid package for ukraine. it will come quickly. thank you. so, the president of ukraine, i will remind you, arrived at the white house, and at this very moment. are holding talks with the president of the united states, joe biden. before volodymyr zelenskyi met with representatives of the congress of the united s

the visit of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi to the united states of america, the summit of the leaders of the member states of the european union, during which they will also talk a lot about ukraine and important things about ukraine, well... help us about this and other things in a moment in the world about ukraine section . well, let me start with what is happening right now in the diet of the republic poland. he passed the post, he accepted the post, well, it is not yet known whether he accepted the post, because right now there is a debate in the highest legislative body of poland about whether donald tusk... the leader of the opposition bloc "civil coalition" will become the new prime minister of poland. they should vote for him now. well, actually, as you can see, there is a debate going on on the screen. well , representing mr. tusk in the highest legislative body of the country, a representative of his bloc said, in particular, that after every night there is a day, after every storm there is calm. well and perhaps, by the end of the column world about ukraine,

let's hope for a successful meeting of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi with joseph biden the white house, as well as his meeting with senators and everyone he will meet there on his now north american tour. well, we will go on a tour of... the incomes of our politicians and officials. oleksandr selizhenko, a parliamentary analyst of the movement, is honestly in touch with us. mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you. good p.m. right here. i read it now, before i talk to you about who opened it, well, i will say this, deputies, first of all deputies, officials, those who have to do it by law, opened their declarations, now ukrainians will be able to read and see what is on these people tried for the last two years, in fact for two years of a full-scale invasion of people 's deputies, let's start with the verkhovna rada, only 87 elected people's deputies opened their declarations, why so few, aren't they all ready to do it yet, please? 87 folk deputies were submitted in the 21st year, and in the 22nd year there are even fewer 58 people's deputies, why such a number, well, the move

and volodymyr zelenskyi, or the team volodymyr zelenskyi , to the commander-in-chief of thery zaluzhnyi, conversations began about the fact that the current government is trying to take on a little more than it needs, and that in what conditions, in the current situation, it is very important to preserve unity, because our unity - this is the key to victory over russia, only in unity we can defeat putin and the russian occupiers. people's deputies of ukraine, volodymyr vyatrovych from european solidarity, are guests of the verdict today, mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you and i am glad to see you and hear. good evening. vitaly bezgin, people's deputy of ukraine from the servant of the people. mr. vitaly, i am glad to see you and thank you for joining our broadcast, and we are waiting for the inclusion of solomiya bobrovska, a people's deputy of ukraine from the voice party. well, gentlemen, since we have already started asking our tv viewers whether they see signs or attempts of usurpation of power, i will also ask you, since you are people's deputies of ukraine. know for sur

this is volodymyr zelenskyy's third trip to the u.s. since the war began. cbs's naomi ruchim is joining us from new york now with details on this. naomi, good morning. >> anne-marie, good morning. newly declassified u.s. intelligence shows that russia seems to believe that a military deadlock through the winter will drain western support for ukraine, so this is last-ditch plea from president volodymyr zelenskyy to keep aid flowing as winter settles in. >> reporter: ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy warns his country is just a stepping stone for russia as he makes his plea for more aid from the white house on capitol hill today. >> you can count on ukraine, and we hope just as much to be able to count on you. >> reporter: in addition to his white house visit, zelenskyy is meeting with u.s. senators from both parties nearly a week after a multi-billion-dollar aid pack package that included funding for ukraine, israel, and border security failed to overcome a procedural vote. president zelenskyy is also set to meet with house speaker mike johnson who say

volodymyr zelenskyy is expected to hold talks with the house and senate leaders.ongress remains divided of the $60 billion of aid to the country. >>> meantime, eu leaders are set to discuss ukraine on top of the agenda. viktor orban is expected to block the package. we have silvia here with more. silvia, to what extent is mr. orban's reluctance? >> it is no change in the position or flexibility for the time being. what we heard from hungarian officials so far is providing further support to ukraine at this stage when they are not seeing improvements on the ground? there is a lot of pressure from the hungarian side on how ukraine is not advancing as they would have liked to see it. let's see how the argument will evolve. at this time, there is no compromise among the heads of state. they will gather in brussels this week. that is when we see them try to find agreement among the 27. of course, let's see whether or not that will be possible. for about two-to-three weeks, some officials in brussels have told me there is a plan b on the table in case hungary does not a
