, and i strongly believe that the washington summit will make a decision. and we will see real efforts to make a final decision on ukraine's admission to nato and to show the whole world that we are not afraid, that we believe in the free world and are ready to defend the free world together with ukraine. now let's take a question. but before that, i want to ask our guests to comment on some things that need to be clarified, i think. arseniy yatsenyuk noted well, rightly noted that there is a certain difference between idealistic and realistic approaches , which should determine how ukraine's accession to nato will take place, it is quite important that the accession negotiations are not endless, as there must be certain deadlines , macedonia, let's say, 10 years have passed in this negotiation process, that is , how can we make sure that this does not happen, that this process does not turn into an endless one, i know. that you have already shown these documents administration, your colleagues at the state department, what their reaction was, how did you f

why do you think it is important to start discussing the language of the next nato summit in washington now, why is it important to start these political preparations for the next summit in the united states. thank you, danyla, i, a huge thank you to the kyiv security forum for initiating this discussion. for being invited to our atlantic colleagues, the council and for this kind invitation , let me begin with some personal feelings that i got from reading this address, i would like to begin by thanking the atlantic council for trying to put forward a much stronger agenda, than. the one we are dealing with today, and for us, many ukrainians, it is extremely pleasant, because all these years we have been trying to strengthen and speed up the support of our partners from the euro-atlantic area, and it is very important that we see a certain reflection of some of these ideas that we're talking about taking place in this address, i'm talking about hearts and minds. for example, i use, let's say, the need to increase the quantity, quality and timing of the supply of weapons in almost every m

of all states, to develop a consensus, i will say what i believe, i believe that during the washington summit, ukraine should receive an invitation, that will be similar to the start of negotiations on ukraine joining the alliance, that's what i believe. you say you have to have a plan b, and it's not plan b anymore, it's plan c , it's surrender, everybody's watching pretty closely, and the chinese, and the russians, and the global south, they're watching very closely whether america will show that they're the leader of the free world, will the free world be able to defend itself , does it have enough courage to protect and defend people's lives, to defend justice, it will not be ours, not our failure, not our mistake, but a failure of the entire free world, and it will only be for the benefit of totalitarian regimes, such as putin and all such, bloody regimes. another option, and there may be many plans, and they will all be in favor of totalitarian regimes. when we talk about ukraine's membership in nato, we should also talk about security in the black sea, because over the past 20 years, n

affect us, the number one priority is that we all have to work together to have a successful washington summitpring of 2024, and we, that's our main message that we 're delivering here, aside from the arms supply, so what nevertheless, there must be a strategy for victory, and this strategy for victory, a successful washington summit, and this is political will, you know, when we are told by different people about different security guarantees, one security guarantee is nato membership, and very seriously, we are talking about it and we urge our colleagues that this is a matter of security not only for us, but for the entire democratic world. thank you, maria ionova, people's deputy of ukraine, member of the verkhovna rada committee on foreign policy and interparliamentary cooperation. it 's news time with us now, anna eva melnyk already ready to share information about the most important thing at the moment. greetings, colleagues, thank you for your work, the news editor works further and briefly, we will tell you about what is important, stay with us. collaborated with... the enemy in the ky

of the washington summit was made.hat elections are you thinking about, are you thinking about ukraine. used this chance, we already took advantage of our chance in the 23rd year, when , unfortunately, in vidnius, we did not even get what we could claim, on the contrary, the leaders of the nato countries were surprised by the statements of the president of ukraine, which their opinion very often, probably resembled blackmail, and not the statement of the actual leader of the country, who aspires to become a member of this elite security club. well, i have to quote what the speaker of the verkhovna rada said councilor ruslan stepanchuk of the summit of the crimean platform, quoting, rfe/rl's website in ukrainian legislation, quoting stefanchuk, there are certain inconsistencies regarding holding and not holding elections both at the parliamentary and presidential levels, we are currently discussing, stefanchuk noted, these are the issues, but i want to so that everyone understands that we have five key problems that we

one last thing, we are especially proud that we will be hosting our allies next summer at the washington summit and excited to come together to commemorate the 75th anniversary of this great alliance. thanks again for being here. and with that, i will be happy to take a couple of questions. >> first question goes to gordon from "wall street journal." >> the first question is the crisis in gaza has amounted to an moment for emotion for the israelis and the world. benjamin netanyahu referring to hamas as dead men walking and you are referring to isis. due to this conflict has powered munitions and weapons and other things, what assurancees or what conditions have you asked for from the israelis to make sure that some of this weaponry is used discriminately and not indiscriminately and potentially killing innocent civilians in gaza and second question, is i.s.r. package. have you seen any amassing of any hezbollah forces on the border? thank you. secretary austin: hezbollah forces? thanks, gordon, for the questions, but even there were like six of them, in terms of conditions that we would place o

i don't think we are going to be there by the time of the washington summit next july and we need toe prepared for different, more ambiguous scenarios in which the conflict continues. some of our allies have suggested we simply state that you train accession will not be possible until after the war is over but it would give russia an incentive to drag out the war for years and it would be tantamount to giving moscow a permanent veto on ukraine and nato decision-making. our approach, in a sense, flips the script that i just described. we would invite ukraine to begin accession talks at the washington summit but leave an invitation to actual membership for a later, separate decision. the united states and nato would show they were serious by targeting or accelerating the concrete work to prepare ukraine for membership by taking account of changing positions on the grounds. so the timing for actual accession would be left open giving allies in ukraine time to work out solutions to problems related to bringing in a member still engaged in a war with russia. for example, in a scenario in

so of course, the debate will continue until upcoming washington summit, but of course, there are, there are countries that would the, that's what, so maybe they stopped it. but this is not the, of all the countries of what exactly it does. you can walk away from this much hide summit security guarantees from the g 7 countries from now that pretty much worthless. andre, reading the small print, the only from commitment by the g 7, was that in the event of a russian strep to ukraine, it would immediately consult with kia to determine appropriate next steps, a consultation more than 600 days into the largest conflict in europe since the 2nd world war and you can, can rely on what's a consultation. that's pretty, i don't think is live. i think your brain can rely and will rely for the foreseeable future on the real support on the ground from the partners military support the financial support. and it will be able to support the country needs now, not in, you know, in, in the future. in 10 years or in 15 years because this is michael, but your brain was as well. and one. 7 thing is the most

washington. the next summit should be held in washington, the capital of the usa. juana replied that ukraine should continue complex internal reforms. we all have to understand that there will be no peace on our continent without ukraine's membership in nato. there is no other effective security mechanism other than nato. ukraine's membership in the alliance will mean a stable security situation on the entire continent. and the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, changed the commander. of the territorial defense forces, by his decree garaan dismissed ihor tansyura from the position of commander of the tro forces and appointed major general anatoly bargelevich in his place. who is the commander of the forces? of territorial defense of ukraine, anatoly bargelevich? brief reference. he was in fact the first commander of the territorial defense while still part of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine, who began to create and develop a powerful system of anti-terrorist forces before a full-scale invasion. at the beginning of the great war, one of the

i don't think we will be there by the time of the washington summit next july, and we need to be prepared with different, more ambiguous scenarios in which the conflict continues. some of our allies have suggested that we stayed ukraine succession will not be possible until the war is over. that would be a simple solution but would give russia an incentive to drag out the war for years. and it would be tantamount to given moscow decision-making. our approach flips the script. we would invite ukraine to begin talks at the washington summit believe an invitation to actual membership for a later, separate decision. united states and nato would show they are serious by starting our accelerating concrete work to prepare ukraine for membership by taking account of changing conditions on the ground. so the timing will be left open, giving allies in ukraine time to work out solutions to problems related to bringing in members still engaged in the war with russia. for example, in a scenario or russia occupied some parts of ukrainian territory, you might proceed with accession only to territories u

you very much for this question, well , in fact , there is still a lot to be done before the washington summit which will take place in july next year efforts but the key decision is made, approved in washington, in the white house, and because of this, as we already did during the warsaw security forum last week, we held such a strategy with representatives of the ukrainian diaspora, as well as those ukrainians who left the country after full-scale invasion, how can we synergize efforts, and everyone agreed that we need to work very hard, first, on bipartisan support in the united states of america. and over the decision of the white house. let's draw conclusions from the nato summit in vilnius. the very reason why we have not received a formal political invitation to nato, and this does not mean membership tomorrow, it means the beginning of commitments to the complex procedure of acquiring full membership, among which, in particular, ratification in each country, members alliance agreement. ago. see, for example, sweden and finland, finland became a member of the alliance within a year afte

the nato assembly in copenhagen called for ukraine to be invited to join the alliance at the washington summit next year. he asked deputy general secretary nato mircha. johnny, what is nato's position and what should ukraine urgently do for a positive decision in washington? johnny replied that ukraine should continue difficult internal reforms. no matter how difficult it is, we all have to understand that there will be no peace on our continent without ukraine's membership in nato. there is no other effective security mechanism other than nato. membership of ukraine in alliance will mean. stable security situation on the entire continent. new explosions in israel. the rockets hit near ben gurion airport near tel aviv. a corresponding video from the scene appeared on social networks. rocket fire alarms sounded again in various parts of israel, including tel aviv, jerusalem, as well as the central shefela area and towns around the gaza strip. local media report on the operation of the anti-missile system against the iron dome. the european union will hold an emergency meeting of ministers tomor

basis of this document, and fix it with two signatures from nato and ukraine, so that before the washington summit having fulfilled all these requirements, no one would make a claim to us that this is it you still need to reform and increase the interoperability of the so-called with zto. that is the main point of this adaptive annual national program that we have proposed, i hope it will be agreed, nato headquarters. dear mr. yehor, a sense of the dynamics in the issue of allocation of aviation to ukraine, yes, denmark has again given a rather unpleasant signal, well, we regularly monitor this. certain statements from our partners, well, there was, there was, there was a certain optimistic atmosphere, now denmark said that what could reach ukraine before at the end of this year, it will most likely move to the next year and so on, that is, as far as we understand, the issue of the specific allocation of certain aviation units, in particular , it is about combat aircraft, has not yet been resolved, that is, there is no political solution, well, as far as i know, a solution. there is a political on

i hope. that the washington summit in june next year will offer categorically what was failed in vilniusich is to invite ukraine to join nato, we must do it right now, because we tried what it would be like when ukraine is not a member of nato, and it led to the worst war in europe in 80 years, how long do you think the war will last? i don't know, the most important thing now is that i think ukraine won. i think it will happen, and if it happens in the 24th year and not in the 23rd year, then nothing, we just have to continue to support and provide the necessary assistance, what i don't want to see is a weakening of western resolve, what is happening in israel is absolutely terrible, but it is part of the same phenomenon, it is aggression against sovereign territory, zelensky's statement, what about that was very kind, we must support israel, unequivocally, but we must also support ukraine. do you think russia gave the green light to war in israel? russia is not in it, it is iran. but it will play into the hands of russia, because the world will shift its attention. it true, but don't g

in copenhagen, petro poroshenko called for ukraine to be invited to join the alliance at the washington summit next year. he asked the successor of nato secretary general mircea giovanna. what is nato's position and what should ukraine do urgently for a positive decision from you. joanne replied that ukraine should continue complex internal reforms. we all have to understand that there will be no peace on... our continent without ukraine's membership in nato. there is no other effective one security mechanism other than nato. ukraine's membership in the alliance will mean a stable security situation on the entire continent. ruslan syrovy, the head of the mukachiv border detachment department, who was discovered and turned out to be an agent of the kremlin, was informed of the suspicion. this is reported by the state bureau of investigation. the suspect arrived for service in transcarpathia. in june 2022, from lysychansk, he was appointed head of the cyber protection group of one of the border divisions, he did not have access to state secrets. recently, he a member of the dodgers group illegal

states, we understand, took a certain pause, because it is politically sensitive issues and the washington summit, unfortunately, there are more signals that it will not be so breakthrough, but i think that the partners are focused on the big players, so the more we work in a bilateral format with our partners, and in the united states, in washington and in those capitals that are powerful enough in europe, that represent the nato alliance, the better it will be and the easier it will be, so the explanation is really where we are in this format, it will push our couples. you understand, i think we are here with you let's agree that when ukraine wins, then the alliance will look differently, and the invitation can be fast, operational and have completely different conditions for us than we have now, so i think that we need to grit our teeth, do our work, but at the same time do ours, let's say this, done according to our own compatibility and in our other areas where we have common agreements, i completely agree with you on this, mr. gennadiy, the last to... question at the headquarters at meeting

at the us-eu summit in washington, which took place even before this drop of salvation was dropped into the sea of ​​need, ursula vonderleen noted the increase in western aid; at the time of her speech, the aid was not even twenty trucks, but zero. the united states and the european union are significantly increasing humanitarian assistance to civilians in the gas sector. more than 4,000 people died in the gaza strip, 1,400 on the israeli side. 210 people, including 20 children, remain hostage. according to hamas, they are being held in secret places and tunnels; only two american women have been released, which is also a drop in the ocean. a pro-israeli rally with a promise to release the hostages was held in new york. soon i will bring the families of the hostages with me to the security council so that the ambassadors looked them in the eyes, saw them . the security council will know that until our hostages are returned, they will not have a moment's peace. jews in germany gathered near the synagogue in berlin, into which a molotov cocktail was thrown the day before. meanwhile, polic

secretary general, we are really getting closer to understanding what will happen at the washington alliance summit. vitaliy, let's talk about the inclusion of ukraine, ukraine's accession to nato, this is an exclusively political issue, on the example of the balkan countries, you actually remember the precedent when a number of countries, even without the implementation of traffic laws and of the so-called points necessary for joining nato, not even 5% were fulfilled there, it was political decisions made by nato members, that is why they explained this is, by the way, russian factors, i’m so sorry, if the balkans are a russian fact , then what is happening in ukraine, regarding the real scenarios, well, we canceled the traffic rules, in what way did this bring us closer to nato, it’s just a matter of coming and giving political guarantees again, so give we have security guarantees, and the security guarantees were actually announced by a high-ranking nato official, he was not a clerk and not an ordinary member, that ukraine is ready to provide security guarantees, that is, the entry of nato in ex

the third annual ukrainian action summit is underway in the united states. everything happens in washingtonts informed about the most important issues that we need to solve quickly. so. well, summing up our broadcast today with antin, i will still quote my colleagues from interfax ukraine. which, referring to stefanchuk's words, they report. that the chairman of the verkhovna rada appealed to the parliaments of other countries to pay attention to the experience of conducting elections under time of war i quote: i turned to my fellow parliamentarians from many parliaments with a request: please give the experience of your parliaments, how you conducted or did not conduct elections during the war. and now we are exchanging these experiences, i think that in the near future we will have some kind of solution, but at the same time in ukrainian legislation - emphasized stefanchu. there are certain disagreements regarding the possibility or impossibility of holding elections at both the parliamentary and presidential levels. we are currently discussing these issues. well, disagreements about the

action summit in washington, this is already the third advocacy campaign in support of ukraine in congressut half a thousand caring americans, representatives of the diaspora, military and activists from ukraine meet with senators and congressmen and explain what help is needed now and why washington should support ukraine. summit participant khrystyna shkudor, who represents the pr army organization, told about what ukrainian voice of america activists emphasize in their conversations with american legislators today. the most important issue that was the focus of all three ukrainian action summits during all three times was financial assistance to ukraine, because without financial assistance we we understand that a counteroffensive is very difficult to call a success, we insist on this, it is primarily financial assistance to ukraine for the 24th year, and then we also insist on giving ukraine more weapons. we are talking about long-range missiles, we are also talking about the f-16, planes that we have also been talking about for the past year and a half, we say that it is possible to s

poroshenko, is asking biden to accept, well, to vote for the invitation of ukraine to nato in washington, the next summit will be in the spring of next year in washington, let's look at a mature and not a political one, well, in any case, i think that these things should be investigated and such persons should be called to speak to the competent authorities, because it just looks very strange, to say the least, thank you very much mr. volodymyr, what joined, thank you for your comments, volodymyr tsibulko, political scientist and people 's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation, now i invite to the conversation serhiy zgurets, director of the defenspress agency and host of the military summaries of the day column. sergey, congratulations. i congratulate you, vasyl, i congratulate our viewers. i think today you will tell more about it, whether it is a terekon or not a terekon , on which the russian rag was carried by the majors today near avdiivka, i will not ask about that, i will ask today about, this is interesting, a joint venture. it will help us now and somehow will issue weapons in this war, a

beijing's initiative, they say one train is not green enough, too expensive, at the hiroshima g7 summit, washingtonption, brussels its global eu portal, all this, as always , from a position of strength, and therefore the chairman sidinping particularly emphasized the difference in the chinese approach. threats and risks will not bring a better life and rapid economic growth. i once said that the beginning of the great silk road won its place in history not by a militant army, but by camel caravans and good intentions, not by warships and powerful cannons, but by merchant ships and friendship. however, the financial weapon of the west, the dollar, is no longer so powerful. we already have 90% of bilateral trade in national currencies, which one? words and with others countries are starting to be used in settlements with third countries, this process cannot be stopped, because that red line, the americans, of course, crossed the use of the dollar, so harshly for geopolitical purposes, as a weapon, it actually showed the whole world what to look for alternative, and the economies of russia and china
