for the protection of national interests ans. mrs anna, you are welcome. greetings to all of you. today is an important day. that is, we seem to be confident and calm, because we know that the senate fully supports ukraine for several months, but still, there is such excitement, because today there is a vote of the senate on the bill that was supported on saturday. in the house of representatives in the congress today, what should happen, what do you say, quickly, painlessly, can there be any surprises, well, you know, in general , the situation... should be optimistic, and as far as we know, the president of the united states should immediately sign it, and even the weapon is ready to shipments, that is, to be delivered to the battlefield as soon as possible, but it has been assembled and is waiting to be shipped to ukraine, and this is very important, but in fact we must be aware that even with

this help, given the delay of more than six months, we really have... . urgent needs, since russia has a resource advantage, and therefore it is very important that the europeans wake up and continue, like the czech initiative, others to look for opportunities to provide ukraine with an anti-aircraft system, anti-missile, and ammunition, and drone coalitions, and long-range systems, that is, in this decision of the us congress there are attacks, there is confiscation of assets. these should all be puzzles, puzzles of a victory strategy, and not a strengthening of ukraine's position for negotiations, because the fact that we hear that a peace summit is being prepared in switzerland, which will take place immediately after the meeting of the leaders of the group of seven in italy, is very important to us, so that the new weapons that will come

to ukraine, together with the fact that ukraine wins technologies, because we see it written in this package. and technological sanctions, and sanctions in the energy sector, that too it is important to weaken the enemy, that is, because russia continues to produce new missiles, drones, kamikaze, using western components, and in the same way to earn profits from the sale of its oil and gas energy resources, and therefore it is only necessary to talk about lowering the price cap, if there is no , unfortunately, er... the energy embargo, so our task now is to convince that only the victory of ukraine is the way to sustainable peace and to rally this coalition of determined people who are not afraid of defeat, because we perfectly understood these two years and the position of sullivan and burns, who seeped in little by little and late, actually proving

the situation when this euphoria, optimism, which was even before the spring... the counteroffensive of last year and now, that's why our task now, especially inside the country, to show that this aid will be used as efficiently as possible, well, we must not relax because this aid will not be enough, and that too we have as well as to draw conclusions as to why this aid came to us so late. mrs. hanna, you, well, we we would like comrade selivanov to make a friendly visit to yar times, and... in the meantime, i will ask you about the state secretary, because today , the 23rd, blinken is starting a several-day, three-day, it turns out, visit to china, and this is precisely on the basis of confirmed information about the fact that china contributes as much as possible with technologies and even precise machines for

the military-industrial complex of russia, and at the same time through the mouths of its communist ministers. denies any cooperation. will blinken be able to finally explain and stop this cooperation with the chinese communist government, or will we be talking about something else here, not about avoiding sanctions and the double game of ki china? well, let's be honest with those watching us that china is interested in continuing the war, because just like china, india, they are profiting from this war by having access to cheap energy resources of the russian federation, plus china generally perceives russia as a resource a base for its geopolitical ambitions of world domination, therefore the defeat of ukraine will be perceived as a defeat for the entire civilized world, the west and primarily the usa and china

is trying with its pseudo peacekeeping initiatives, but they have their own plan. so -called peace, to show that china can, unlike other global players, be a mediator and somehow solve this task, so we should have no illusions about the real intentions of china, but we now also see the united states of america, which has certain economic levers on china and the european union, we saw scholz's visit to china, plus xi jinping's visit to paris is being prepared. when we were in france recently. met in macron's office and met with representation in taiwan, xi jinping's visit to europe is seen as a way to reduce the russian federation's support for china. by the russian federation and especially limit access to certain technologies, that is why now efforts are being made to pull china to the side of the west, so that in matters, in particular peace, how

to achieve it, and the last point of the formula, the ten points of zelensky's peace formula, is the fixation of the end of the war, because you you know, someone is in a big hurry to hold this summit, and china's position will play an important role here, someone... wants to change china's position, who would take part in this peace summit, which is planned in switzerland, and so that china would stop helping the russian federation so persistently, that is , the usa and the european union are trying in different ways, although everyone has their own motivations, because scholz's visit to china - this is about the economic interests of german companies, because they are now completely dependent on the chinese market, on the ... natural minerals that are in china, that is, they once merkel was dependent on the russian gas needle, we saw nord stream-2, and now the story is similar to china, but ukraine needs

to find just the right opportunity to convey that, you know, we are already in different chats, i may even voice this publicly, you better let the usa and china agree on how to divide russia, and i left yakutia for japan, you understand, but they did not force ukraine to...negotiations, because the issue of russian aggression was not resolved at the expense of ukraine, after all, the terrorist state must bear responsibility, and therefore, instead of forcing ukraine into unfavorable negotiations, one should think how to provide us with everything necessary for the defeat of the russian federation, and even if the defeat leads to a scenario of disintegration of the russian federation with collapse, as it happened with the soviet union, then global players should be ready not to be afraid of it. but definitely not to think, as now, seeing that the situation on the battlefield is not easy, that it is necessary to continue to look for resources, that the war

of technologies must be won, that is, the west should finally have instead of fear, a sense of dignity and the need to restore the world order, and not allow china, with russia, with iran, with belarus, with north korea to think how to form a new world order by sitting down and agreeing on something. so i would see that we should insist that only the victory of ukraine and american aid should unlock the provision of taurus, i hope that the number of attacks and now the republican party should make sure that we get and the white house work to further sholtz, who hesitated and did not see this opportunity to provide taurus, so that now the issue of crimea is not put behind... or there are some other ideas to take ukraine into nato in parts, those territories that are free, the rest, which should be a victory with the confiscation of assets, because

this decision of the us congress also speaks about it, and punishment, because if we talk about any negotiations now, you understand, the deliveries or the establishment of those of wasp production, and it is written in this american bill that this aid should be 50 for 50, that is, 50% from the united states of america, as such a large key partner, and 50% from our other partners, and we know that everyone thinks that this package aid from the united states will now unlock further support from europe, that the europeans will also begin to help us on a larger scale and send us various packages, well, we understand that what happened on saturday and that we hope they will vote, support today, don't stop it, that it won't be last package what will happen next, how should we build this communication now, so that the next packages are not received with any delays,

so when it is already several months late, when a large number of lives have already been lost, when our territories are under occupation? well in fact one has to draw conclusions as to what mistakes were made, because a lot is at stake after the full-scale invasion of the 22nd, 23rd. made for the administration of president biden and the democrats. republicans felt, as they say, disrespected, and let's remember president zelensky's visit to washington in september of 2023, when he was not allowed to address the congress. this was already a negative signal. religious communities, like the baptists, especially, which in south and north carolina there are 17 million voters, why was there not a very... late meeting of the president with evangelicals, baptists and communication with the all-ukrainian council of churches. it is necessary that our veterans, the military, travel through those states, manufacturers of weapons, because let's be honest.

we say behind this decision of the congress, the house of representatives and now the senate, we hope that there are also economic interests, because 80% of these funds will remain in the united states of america and will be received by various defense companies, so it is also about the economic growth of the united states, and we it is necessary to explain precisely to the american people, because it is the empathy and support of the american people susp... this is what put pressure on the decisions of both democrats and republicans, so everything must be done so that the american people continue to understand that russian aggression is genocide, and by investing in ukraine, they are investing in their own security, and this is extremely important , that is why we, taking into account the fact that part of the aid we are borrowing now must, as they say, be written off, it is important for us that bipartisan support does not decrease, but

remains. at this level, or even growing, so there should be more advocacy visits, but not fully controlled by the office president, who send only deputies loyal to themselves. finally, ukraine needs to form a national team game, well , besides this idea, when america is already regaining its authority, because this delay with the vote also hit the authority and trust in the usa as the leader of the free world. we saw how europe began to wake up and... macron regarding the military contingent in ukraine, which other european states began to support, and not only the european union, for example, like norway, last week the minister was here of foreign affairs of norway, we had a meeting with him, they also talked about the f-16, here i have a beautiful t-shirt of f-16s that need to be sent, so our task is to continue forming a coalition of determined states that will not make any compromises is

it possible to search how at the expense of ukraine, sit down and agree on something there, the aggressor must be punished, an international tribunal must be formed, russian aggression against the ukrainian people must be recognized as genocide, talk about reparations and only about this way of restoring the world security architecture, and therefore, it is very important for us that our defense industries responsible for this ministry do not compete with each other by creating a bunch of different agents there. from innovations, as a result , volunteers will pester every day on drones, on rebs, to finally restore order inside, because one question that will arise is how we use these weapons, and for this there are various agencies, inspectors that will be sent from the pentagon , from the state department, and they will confirm this on a bilateral level, and on the other hand, we need some of the funds, and that what we are currently trying to do at the european level was the localization of joint defense

production. and ukraine should become a hub of defense industries and win the war for technology, and not, say, as many said, that it is a war of the 20th century, the second world war and so on, the war is already being won on the battlefield, we see robotics - robotic systems, and here we need to further develop relations with taiwan, with israel, with south korea, with japan, to form those who understand what has become. for the whole world on a level, well, ours, as it were, let's say, not just the continent of europe. mrs. hanna, i want to believe that we moved from that continent to ours, to our near neighbors, back in the days when you headed the committee on foreign affairs of the verkhovna rada in the eighth convocation, we had a common hobby with you, fighting with state hungarian

imperialism and individual fascists. from the fidesz party, and i have a fresh batch for you today, i didn't prepare it, i'm not to blame, but a great friend of lavrov's, who travels around sochi and st. petersburg, his name is peter sijarto, he issued another batch today part about the fact that hungary will again block the aid of the european union to ukraine in the amount of 2 billion euros, because, as they say in hungarian. quote: discrimination against hungarian companies has not stopped in ukraine. this is what i came up with, well, i could still switch to the hungarians of transcarpathia for the school there, no, today he declares this, and this is actually the second blockade from the hungarians, because there is also 500 million euros blocked by hungary, this when in brussels it is a solution.
