so, last week , volodymyr zelenskyy fired yermak's deputies andrii smirnov and oleksiy dniprov. latter worked in the office since the time of petro poroshenko. he also lost the position of first assistant to the president serhii shefir, an old friend of zelensky, his business partner. my task, in addition to the main work, is to ensure that volodymyr remains a human being in politics - said shefir in 2019, when he moved from the 95th quarter to... the government quarter. in a comment to babel, shefir said that, despite his dismissal, he remains in the president's team, but did not specify what he would do. and zelensky also dismissed a number of advisers, the most famous among them being serhiy trofimov, a producer of the quarter in the past, who in the 19th year became the deputy head of the office, managed regional politics. at the end of the 20th, he was fired and appointed as a freelance adviser to zelenskyi. and trofimov was remembered for the fact that he actively defended the uoc of the moscow patriarchate, and yes... he also cooperated with the superior of the uoc propol

volodymyr zelenskyy announced new powerful attacks by the enemy, perhaps not the first. back in february, at a press conference , the commander-in-chief stated that on the border of spring and summer, the russian... army may go on the offensive, later, at the end of march , the president confirmed this information in an interview with the american cbs tv channel. russia will prepare counter-offensive actions, and it may be the end of may, it may be the month of june, and we need help now, now in order to to train the appropriate brigades that will have to fight for our land, especially at the moment of counteroffensive actions that russia wants to start. in addition to volodymyr zelenskyi , the head of his office, andriy yermak, and the commander of the ground forces , lieutenant general oleksandr pavlyuk, spoke publicly about the russian offensive. the topic began to be actively discussed in the western and russian press. the economist journalist assumed that in the summer, after the spring mud, muscovites will launch a large-scale attack. the publication called on ukra

volodymyr zelenskyi unexpectedly, in his last interview , he criticized the deputies, saying that they are delaying the adoption of the draft law and trying to remove all the unpopular ones from it. the norms of the deputies should calm down, let's say so, and not wait for applause for their populism, and therefore the law cannot be cleaned up, you have to look at it realistically, it must be a working law that will work, in the other case , what about today we talked about the reserves of our army, then the military command will not be responsible for the reserves, then the states, but... the parliament of ukraine, and this, i i think it is unavoidable. well, in fact, what we heard now, the president shifts the responsibility for the bill on mobilization to the deputies, they say, they are worried about their political ratings, and this literally mirrors, the mirroring of those measures that were repeatedly addressed to the president himself, they say, this he, as the commander-in-chief, distanced himself from the draft law on mobilization, because... he is talking about his political

i think, all this time, the big challenge for volodymyr zelenskyi is to get a controlled state machinehe did not get it in in the form in which we know from the constitution and that there are ministers, the parliament is effective, and the leadership of the country is mine viewing takes place in an informal way through a system of advisors, friends, onlookers. that is, of course, there is a formal vertical, but the formal vertical does not work, but the informal vertical works, and in this informal vertical there are several groups of influence, several groups of interests, and these interest groups fight with each other, which of them is more influential, we already we see that kyril tymoshenko is not around, he is there in the position of adviser to the minister of defense, but he does not play a big role, we already see that mr. serhiy shefir is here. no, but who is getting stronger, well of course, yermak, the head of the president's office, is such a powerful figure, and he, well, in my opinion, takes over all the levers of influence on ukrainian politics. oleksiy, what do you th

volodymyr zelenskyi, then they were near the star of the kvartal 95 studio, well, they were near, who, who about it, you better know, if not you, as a biographer, well, i’m just retelling, yes, and actually borys shefir and serhiy shevir, together with zelensky, they even rented an apartment in moscow when they lived there in the mytishchi district, and now these two people who contributed to the creation of already a political star also. zelensky, because their influence was quite large, serhiy shefir was a part of, let’s say, the team responsible for the finances of the zelensky family, as far as i understand, and now they have left zelensky’s entourage, they have finally left zelensky’s entourage, boris yes exactly, because he says that zelensky doesn't pick up the phone from me, or we can assume that... now zelenskyi is simply renewing his team, because for the extension of the presidential term, he no longer needs those who knew him in a completely different way, or who led him to power, well, in fact, everyone in my opinion presidents went through this stage, including president

president volodymyr zelenskyi joined the meeting of the ukraine nato council online. the supreme commander called for the provision of aircraft and long-range weapons. and emphasized: ukraine needs at least seven more patriot anti-aircraft missile complexes or its analogues for defense. our capabilities from a distance impression, it is absurd when partners are afraid of their strength. the more means of long-range influence our soldiers have in their hands, the closer it will be, the sooner peace will come. poleboi really needs long-range missiles impressions and artillery. regarding the payment. air defense systems for ukraine, i want to say that it will happen soon. germany also decided to provide additional systems to ukraine. ukraine will soon receive additional patriot systems. our allies in... which, unfortunately, do not have available systems, they can provide financial assistance to ukraine. we are also working to strengthen the production of those necessary systems that met the goals. for the first time, the defense forces destroyed the russian tu-22m3 stra

volodymyr zelenskyi, yes, it will come into force in 30 days.we have the opportunity to talk briefly, but to the point, with vadym mazevich, the commander of the unit unmanned aircraft complexes as part of the third. a separate stormtrooper, mr. vadim, i congratulate you, mr. vadim, can you hear me, i understand that now the connection can hardly be perfect, but, unfortunately, there is no connection yet, well, we understand that it is not an easy situation , we, we, we will wait, there is nothing like that here, we still have time for news, and we can wait, at least to hear at least some key, key theses, because... again we talked with ivan karychevsky, the military is in a difficult situation right now , here we are today an expert of defense express, he says when are focusing on the time gap, because putin said until may 9 to take time, it must be understood that the front line along which the enemy can break through must break through, or should break through, if he wants to really go further, in donetsk region, it is about 60 km, again, we

the level of approval of the activity of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi decreased to 63%ough back in february 23rd it was 91%, and about this in... in fact, as i said, the results of the survey of the sociological group, the rating, well, of course, rating by rating, and even more so during the war, one can argue about how much this rating covers those reference groups that were included in this sociological survey, but since we are remembering the five years of this battle of the pre-election battle... who and poroshenko at the olympic stadium, i want to remind you that then zelensky asked poroshenko 10 questions, i i think that now, in principle, i would zelensky should answer them, it is very short, i will remind you what zelensky asked poroshenko, firstly, why no one is sitting for ilovaisk and debaltseve, secondly, why 6 years later, why 6 years later we still don’t know murders on the maidan, the third or? would you like to take part in the experiment and try to live on a pension of uah 1,500 at least for a month? fourth: how much money do you still need to take fro

look, well, first of all, regarding the first question, serhiy, volodymyr oleksandrovich zelenskyi didot give a single uncomfortable interview during his entire term of office, not a single one, and this was a trend that began even during his pre-election entourage of zelenskyi, which allowed him to give several interviews of loyal to him, so-called journalists, well, there is a big interview with gordon, clearly complimentary, which would not harm the numbers, on the contrary, these numbers increased, the rating was already quite high before the elections, heated by the series servant of the people , film and tv channel 1+1, rotation, recognition, trust, ability to give positive. these are fairly correct scripted rhetoric that every ukrainian, probably you and i, including globally, would like to put into practice regarding justice, the obligations of people's deputies, the president, anti-corruption laws, the rule of law, well , all that, actually, was voiced in such a simple language in this series, it was all actually correct, that's why many people voted, but it happened the way i

supreme commander-in-chief, president volodymyr zelenskyi in public speeches emphasized and continuesthat the strengthening of conscription is initiative of the military command, for the implementation of which he was responsible. are carried by deputies. with regard to the bill, or one of the bills regarding the mobilization amendments, that was voted on this morning. at our request. that there are some changes in the mobilization of our troops, the military leadership, and according to this mobilization, there is a strengthening of control over deviations. among those who voted for, most of the servant of the people faction and voice, the trust group and former members of the banned opzh. the european solidarity and fatherland faction did not support the document, first of all, due to the decision of the profile... committee at the last moment to exclude from the draft law the provision on the demobilization of those who have been at the front since the first days of the full-scale invasion. i clearly emphasized our claims, which make the law adopted on mobilization extremely danger

from europe, but very slowly, and other funding. remains blocked in the us, what is president volodymyr zelenskyyg now? one way or another, president zelenskyi's position remains in the spotlight. he brilliantly formulated his position, which consists in the absolute further support of ukraine from the west. his role is to promote and represent ukrainian interests in western capitals, and he does it brilliantly. so, i mean his actual strategic position. remains unchanged, the problem is that now the operational conditions have changed, frankly, for almost two years, the armed forces of ukraine were on the offensive, that is, in a favorable position, when the operational conditions looked optimistic, now, everything is exactly the opposite, so convince the western states to continue to provide support in an unfavorable situation, when the prospects for support... are short-term, at least until next year, is an extremely difficult task for president zelenskyi, his main line remains unchanged and justly, will remain so, in particular, it is said that without the support of the west, ukraine will not

well, then, quite logically , yesterday's statement by the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi thatring to mobilize 3,000 personnel there from june 1 fits into this concept quite logically. it fits right in, but it doesn't quite fit into russian realities, because in fact now the russians have been drafted, and last time there was so that they promoted this draft in order to carry out mobilization, and then make a draft. now, relatively speaking, if the information is correct, then the russians have it. there may be certain overlays with these measures, how do you assess the probability of this mobilization being so announced, or will the enemy still try to provide it with other variations without any such loud statements about mobilization, which, by the way , confirms peskov's statement today, which says that we are not going to mobilize there, what are your assessments of this particular nuance, yes, exactly, for... citizens of russia came to the military leaders and declared their desire to sign a contract, they have been trying since the terrorist attack in crocus, official rus

and the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, arrived on a visit to lithuania. he will take part in the summit. trimore and will hold talks with the heads of the partner states. together with the latvian head edgars rinkevichus, they have already signed a security agreement between ukraine and latvia, and in the agreement, latvia undertook to help our country with recovery and reconstruction, as well as with the protection of critical infrastructure, demining, unmanned technologies and cyber security. country will provide 0.25% defense support. from its gdp every year. gas prices in europe rose after russia struck underground gas storage facilities in ukraine. european gas futures rose by 5.5% and are around $320 per thousand cubic meters, bloomberg writes. russia poses a new threat to the country's energy infrastructure and security of supplies to europe. ukraine. has the largest storage facilities of any country on the continent and is actively recruiting traders to store supplies, the authors added. government germany approved the plan for the reconstruction

the president of ukraine , volodymyr zelenskyy, said that a major offensive by russia is expected ine, and the ukrainian military is currently not ready to defend itself. we need weapons, we need help now - said the president of ukraine. in turn, the commander-in-chief. ssu, colonel-general oleksandr syrskyi v in an interview with the abc news channel, he said that he does not rule out that the russian occupiers may dare to attack kyiv again. commander-in-chief sirsky noted that russia's actions in belarus may indeed indicate the russians are preparing to once again try to transfer hostilities to new territories. but according to the head of the committee, in this way russia again risks stretching its forces in the north. about the possible offensive of the russians later in our story. a new offensive by the russians is expected in may-june, he said in an interview with the american channel cbc news said the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi. he said that the ukrainian military was able to restrain the attack of the russian army in the winter and stabilize the situation, but

except volodymyr. zelenskyi , the head of his office andriy yermak and the commander of the ground forces, lieutenant general oleksandr pavlyuk, spoke publicly about the russian offensive. the topic began to be actively discussed in the western and russian press. the economist journalist assumed that in the summer, after the spring mud, muscovites will launch a large-scale attack. the publication urged ukraine to hurry with the introduction of fortifications and mobilization, otherwise the front may be breached. similarity the scenario, but in even darker colors, describes the publication politico, citing high-ranking ukrainian officers who served under general valery zaluzhny until his resignation, it predicts an offensive in august, if not earlier, and also considers the destruction of the front line a very likely scenario. the so-called russian liberal press also added fuel to the fire. the meduza online publication, with reference to its sources in the kremlin, announced putin's plan almost for the second ti

this time, secondly, as many as 3% unequivocally support the verkhovna rada, 8% of the tsc, zelenskyi, volodymyrdrovich , the president of our 22. unequivocally 70 there , there are still 40 who support something more than not , but still, 22% clearly support the cabinet of ministers, 6% support unequivocally, and 76% of ukrainians donate money to the armed forces, and 59% communicate at home in ukrainian, this is just for a complete understanding approximately, there are still many economic points, we will not discuss everything, this why corruption is the main threat and why the president is unequivocally supported by only 22%, well more... that is, there are 40 or so more who support him , but it's just so concrete , only 22, at the beginning of the invasion the president was unequivocally supported by 74% of ukrainians. mr. vasyl, the question is how many people support ukraine's membership in nato? and 77%. and today is the day of the war, i say 700, no, today is the 75th anniversary of the creation of nato, but it's me, and i heard that what day of the war did you say? defense of any react

on tuesday, april 16 , president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi signed the law on the improvement of certain issues of mobilization, military registration and military service. recently , both the military and politicians began to speak loudly about the lack of resources and... people at the front. more details about this in our story. the situation at the front is getting more complicated, president volodymyr zelenskyy said in his evening address on april 14. the situation at the front during such a hot war is always difficult, but these days, especially in the donetsk directions, it is more difficult. a few days earlier , this was also announced by the commander-in-chief of the armed forces oleksandr syrskyi on his telegram channel. the situation on the eastern front has significantly worsened in recent days. this is primarily due to the significant intensification of the enemy's offensive actions after the vrf presidential elections. the enemy is actively attacking our positions in the lymansky, bakhmutsky directions with assault groups with the support of armored vehicles. in the

the president of ukraine and is one of the central figures, and now in general, i think that volodymyr zelenskyihould be stressed, because he is ranked one hundred according to the magazine, there are no most influential world leaders, but yermak. yes, what does that mean? and yermak is there, and here you can also joke that , well, at least yermak is on this list, he really is an influential person, unlike mrs. navalny, who, is there such a big question, by the way, about her, well, it’s me i talked with several of my journalists there, colleagues who are russian citizens, of course they work there not in russia and i respect their work, so i wondered if they really see yulia navalny there as a leader and how do they see her in general, of course, this is not only for ukrainians, it is probably a shock, such a cover, and this is how influence is revealed, and as for mr. yermak, well, i also addressed podolyak live on the air with the fact that radio liberty has a request for an interview to zelenskyi, to yermak, and to dasha zarivnaya, also during the interview i remarked that i somehow wanted

as for the book about volodymyr zelenskyi, it was written in ukraine in 2020 and published in 2021, it published in a small edition, i published it at my own expense and did it completely by myself, because the publishers did not really believe in the success of this book, because they said, well, what more can be said about zelenskyi? and than we know and who cares, since the beginning of the war, interest in volodymyr zelenskyi increased, of course, he became one of the central figures, and this was clear and obvious in 2022, starting from february 24, 2022, then in fact , there was interest in my manuscript, which was in ukrainian, a literary agent was found, who... quite promptly offered this book to various publishers in various countries of the world, we are talking about, to date , we are talking about 25 countries of the world, including in ukraine, er, that is, this book has been translated into mongolian, japanese, polish, german, english, italian, hungarian, romanian, well , that is... i won't even list them all, because it will be a very slow job, but there is obviously an

the so-called evacuation of ukrainian fighters began. to the occupied territory, president volodymyr zelenskyiounced in june 2022 that after the battles for mariupol , more than 2,500 ukrainian fighters from azovstal were captured by russia. after a series of exchanges of prisoners of the kremlin, there are still about eight hundred azov citizens. perhaps that is why war is an art, not a science. when you have completed the task and kept the maximum number of personnel. this is higher. military management, especially when your decision is approved by the higher military leadership. glory to ukraine! meanwhile, the espresso volunteer kitchen continues to work for victory. for the second year in a row , we have been making our own vitamin mixtures for the armed forces. currently, the initiative is gaining momentum and in parcels to the front, in addition to vitamins , other goodies necessary for our defenders appear. in particular, dried fruits, nuts, jerky. pastila, dry cloves and borscht, lard and canned meat, in short, everything that will feed our people at zero. we constantly have a lot of

this was announced by president volodymyr zelenskyi after a telephone conversation with chancellor olaf scholz. this is already the third patriot system, in addition to airisty, that ukraine received from germany, which has a total of 12 installations. the head of state called on other countries to follow germany's example. the need for anti-aircraft systems. defense increased after russia's massive attack on the energy infrastructure. ukrainian border guards captured three invaders. this happened during an enemy assault on our positions in donetsk region, the state border service said. all the invaders were servicemen of the 10th tank regiment, among them - a shooter and two privates of the unit. all of them. contract workers, they said that they would be paid 200,000 rubles for fighting in our country, er, they said that they would, they thought that they would be purely rearguards, which is why they are in the rkbz, but they were gathered in a heap and for an assault to us, and well, accordingly, before that , the boys broke it. bohdanivka is under the control of the armed... forces

for the first time. industry plans to further increase production rates, president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy announced this during the daily meeting on the security situation. the share of own defense products is constantly increasing, the state concludes long-term contracts with enterprises - noted the head of the ukrainian state bohdan - it is a ukrainian 155-millimeter self-propelled artillery installation on a rocking chassis, it is the first ukrainian self-propelled gun designed for ukraine's standard nato caliber. havbytsia received baptism of fire in the battle for zmiiny island. seeing no interest, the united states of america decided to get rid of the aging a10 aircraft. the military believes that such aircraft are too vulnerable to survive in a modern conflict, and congressmen called for their transfer to ukraine. secretary of the air force of the united states of america, frank kandel, to the publication of defense wang stated that he did not... notice that our state is interested in this, quoting the minister, i think that they are rightly concerned about their survival, i will n

, so far, so far, volodymyr zelenskyi is respected for not running away, yes, when the full-scaleion began, volodymyr zelenskyi... knows how to communicate with society, he feels people, he is a public figure, yarmak is a less public figure, but he is already out, he is in it has the ambition to be more public, he wants his loved, but society does not accept the fair, no one elected him, no one authorized him, did not authorize him with such powers, he is outside the constitution, but if we...

president volodymyr zelenskyi reported in june 2022 that after the battles for mariupol , more than 25ainian fighters from azovstal were captured by russia. after a series of exchanges of prisoners of the kremlin, about eight hundred azov citizens still remain. perhaps that is why war is an art. science, when you have completed the task and kept the maximum number of personnel, this is the highest level of military management, especially when your decision is approved by the highest military leadership. glory to ukraine! glory to heroes. espresso volunteer kitchen continues to work for victory. for the second year in a row, we have been making our own vitamin mixtures for the armed forces. currently, the initiative is gaining momentum and, in addition to vitamins, appears in parcels to the front. others, our defenders need goodies: dried fruits, nuts, jerky, pastila, dry soups and borschts, lard and canned meat, everything that will feed our people at zero. we have a lot of requests, so we need your help, dear viewers, join and support our soldiers with a donation, you can see all the

subsequently, volodymyr zelenskyi said that he is ready to meet with trump and listen to his so-called peace plan. ukraine even invited trump to kyiv more than once, but trump rejected the offer. well, returning to the so-called trump's peace plan, how many political leaders are ready? to agree with his idea, is he alone, well, at least in the west in his desire to force kyiv to make territorial concessions, we will talk about this in just a few minutes, but in the meantime, the us congress has not yet passed a bill on providing aid to ukraine, blocking the decision on donald trump called for the help of the republicans, in particular. later, however, he stated that it is necessary to help ukraine, but not for free, in debt. my colleague iryna sisak asked about the prospects for the adoption of the draft law. help for ukraine from congressmen who were in kyiv last week. listen. mike johnson. the speaker of the house of representatives, commenting on the aid package, noted that it will include some innovations. in particular, he talked about providing financial support for credit. can i

a new russian offensive is expected in may-june, approx president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi said an interview with the american channel cbc news. he said that the ukrainian military. were able to restrain the attack of the russian army in the winter and stabilize the situation, but emphasized that it is difficult to fight the invaders due to the shortage of artillery and shells. the situation in the east is currently stabilized as much as possible, considering the shortage of weapons and ammunition and considering the fact that we are starting to prepare brigades for the corresponding actions that are important to us. the situation is better than two or three months ago - said president zelensky. he emphasized that, although his troops have so far managed to contain the russians, ukraine is not ready for a new major russian offensive. which is expected around the end of may or june, and before that we have to not only stabilize the situation, because the partners are sometimes happy that we have stabilized, they say ok, you have the forces, no, we need help now to train brigades

i will note today , the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, arrived in lithuania for a visit.will take part in the trimore summit and hold talks with the heads of the partner states. they have to sign a new bilateral security agreement. two people suffered due to enemy shelling in donetsk region. the occupiers wounded one in krasnohorivka, the other in novoselivka. the first - damaged private homes - was told by the national police. according to their data , muscovites carried out more than 1,500 attacks on the region during the day, nine settlements were hit. 14 residential buildings and an object of critical infrastructure were damaged. the child was injured due to enemy shelling in the kherson region. during the day, muscovites attacked more than 10 settlements in the region, the head of the region oleksandr informed prokudin occupant. targeted residential quarters and a critical infrastructure object, damaged five private houses, agricultural machinery, cars and a gas pipeline. the gas leak has already been blocked, there was no fire. a 47-year-old man died in kryvyi rih d

volodymyr zelenskyi, according to him , the russian army is already preparing its reserves for june 1nswering journalists' questions about how many recruits will be mobilized to the ukrainian army, the president... did not specify, but said, that they are not going to call up half a million people, as mentioned earlier, well , we don’t need half a million, i am grateful to govkum for the audit, it is important that he found strength within the armed forces of ukraine, the corresponding number who were not at the front, they will be at the front , and as for the individual number, how many will be... mobilized until i am ready to tell you. i will remind you that for the first time the potential need to mobilize up to 500,000 people was announced by the former commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhnyi, at the end of last year, already in march this year, newly appointed head oleksandr syrsky announced that the army had conducted an audit, which allegedly showed that the army needs fewer people than 500,000. well, in the meantime , the day before volodymyr zelen

these are people who in fact, they were near the origins of the appearance of the kvn star volodymyr zelenskyi, then they were near the star studios kvartal 95, well, they were nearby, who better to know about it than you, as a biographer, well , i’m just retelling, and actually boris shevir and serhii shevir, they even rented an apartment together with... with zelenskyi in moscow, when they lived there in the mytishchi district, and now these two people, who contributed to the creation of the already political star of zelensky, because their influence was large enough, serhii shefir was part of, let's say, the team responsible for the finances of the zelensky family , as far as i understand, and now they left with environment. have finally left zelenskyi’s entourage, boris is so sure, because he says that zelenskyi doesn’t pick up the phone from me, can we assume that now zelenskyi is simply updating his team, because he no longer needs those who knew him to extend his presidential term completely different, or who introduced him to power, well, in fact , in my opinion, all presidents went th

you, you can no longer buy these vyshyvankas, there is another photo of elena zelenska and volodymyr zelenskyi, they just took a picture in these vyshyvankas, here they are correctly. and er, if you remember what the scandal was about, that was relative recently, the scandal was just around the fact that we have people who do not like volodymyr zelensky, but also elena zelenska, and they simply said that the brand was ashamed by the fact that they gave their clothes to such people who do not like them, that is , there was essentially no facap, but there was such and such a claim, well then the brand did not seem to explain anything and did not refuse the photo. well , now let's talk about medvedchuk, more precisely about his paintings. the fact is that now we are also coming to what we are discussing, well, how it is better, it is more profitable to sell or not to sell , the paintings were seized from someone who is a state traitor there or something like that, and here we are... we just came to medvedchuk, i think you heard the news and saw these photos with the painting, where medvedchuk in

but in general, in this context, in your opinion, is it the responsibility of the president volodymyr zelenskyi we expect from does he have any reaction to this case? of course, well, that is... you know, we have all this now, today i read the ukrainian truth that the parliament has lost its subjectivity, that the protégé booths actually have no power there, that everyone is subordinate to the president's office, of course, this is directly the area of ​​responsibility of volodymyr zelenskyi, especially when it comes to the sbu, a law enforcement agency directly subordinate to the president of ukraine , so yes, this is his area of ​​responsibility, and again , it is his decision to suspend. artem shill two weeks ago, well, from his position, but to remove him from his position and not to dismiss him with disgrace or something else, this for me, the statement shows that volodymyr zelenskyi continues, well, not to attach much importance to the corruption structures that are forming among his entourage. well, i just want to note on our air that artem shilo himself did not comment on the case again

i asked volodymyr zelenskyy about that as well.actually very careful listening first kind of four moles those signals >> were on certain media platforms i haven't heard that directly from trump he's ideas in detail >> i did not >> have an opportunity to discuss them with him and to discuss his ideas on how to end the war. if i have such opportunity, i will with pleasure listen to them and then we can discuss the topic. >> so as you can see, they're john that ukrainians right now under immense pressure on the front lines and nevertheless, the ukrainian president remaining determined as he had dressed the delphine economic forum here in greece, john harder, thanks to fred for that interesting how careful zelenskyy was when speaking about donald trump. a broken hearted family wants answers after a young man is killed in a hail of bullets, it all started because he was not wearing a seat belt we are standing by to learn the fate of six former police officers who pled guilty to torturing and assaulting a black man houston, you are go fo

despite the meeting of volodymyr zelenskyi with other politicians of the region, currently, javier miley is the only openly pro-ukrainian leader among the countries. of latin america, says christopher hernandez roy, an analyst at the center for strategic and international studies in washington. so miley's visit, according to him, will have primarily important political significance. a number of latin american leaders received high-ranking guests from russia, or if not leaders, parliamentarians participated in meetings in st. petersburg and elsewhere. so miley in kyiv is very important, not because argentina can significantly influence the war in ukraine materially. but politically, it runs counter to the russian narrative that all of latin america is locked in this laissez-faire attitude that the russians are actively cultivating. miley plans not only to visit kyiv, but also to hold a ukraine-latin america summit in 2024 to bring kyiv closer to the region. however , many analysts doubt the success of such a summit, given the policies of other latin american leaders and their relationship

in this story , it would seem absolutely logical for volodymyr zelenskyi to address the parliament asmander of the armed forces of ukraine and an explanation or, let's say, an appeal to the people's deputies of ukraine would be logical for voting for this law, and it should be explained by the fact that russia is preparing another offensive, which may take place in may-june, as president zelensky said in an interview with a television company cbs news, and to emphasize that we need to prepare for... another offensive by the russians, for this we need people and we need mobilization and we need, we need new, new human resources. against this background , the american billionaire elon musk, known for his scandalous statements about the war in ukraine, expressed the opinion that, although russia will not be able to occupy all of ukraine, it is capable of reaching the dnipro and seizing odesa, as he believes. in social which he owns, elon musk wrote: the longer the war lasts, the more territory russia will seize until it reaches the dnipro, which is difficult to cross, however, if the war
