er delayed that vote as a procedural vote on the $61 billion allocation to ukraine and aid to israel and taiwan has been delayed due to several republicans complaining they can't offer amendments, senators eric schmidt and mike lee blamed senate democratic majority leader chuck schumer , in that he actually pushed through his version of the bill. with minimal debate, perhaps no amendment. lis claims that financing ukraine is unpopular. mr. oleksandr, tell me, we were waiting after passing through the congress of the united states of america of this bill, and in the senate, well, it seemed clear that this decision would be adopted almost automatically, and the main thing was to pass the congress, where there were republicans' preferences and the republicans there had more. votes

to block passage, what is happening now with this aid and can two senators or however many or more republican senators, can they make this decision drag and drag and drag. i really hope that doesn't happen, even i'm confident that this resolution will be passed in the senate as soon as possible because, well , first of all, we have there ... more solid, more stable, bipartisan support, including for this important bill, but the united states is a democracy, and the senate, as well as the congress as a whole, is a democratic body where such procedural issues can arise, most likely, so it's quite normal and it's right in a democracy, but we're interested now in the time to... . to receive this timely

aid, because it is about the lives of our military and civilian population, so i hope that in the near future this decision will be made and the president will sign this law and we will receive this aid, it is already, as far as i understand, ready to go to be sent and to be in ukraine as soon as possible. yesterday, during the meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs and defense of the european union member states in luxembourg , the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of lithuania gabrielius lansbergis said that after the decision of the house of representatives of the united states of america, eu and nato countries should work even harder on aid for ukraine. let's listen to what the head of the foreign policy department of lithuania said. i am sure that today we will discuss the decision of the united states regarding military aid to ukraine. today, at the moment , i... say we dodged

a deadly bullet, but unfortunately there are many more bullets to come, so we can rejoice today, but we have to be ready for the fight that will come tomorrow, and we need to talk about , how we are going to help ukraine in the future. mrs. galina, this is the decision that is expected in the senate, and of course, the signing of this law by the president of the united states of america, will it be a year. a marker for other states, for the european union, for the north atlantic alliance, for countries, for germany, including, for them to give us taurus already after atakams, because we see that great britain has already announced a huge an aid package of 500 million pounds sterling, whether other countries will follow the british and americans, and whether we will get enough weapons, and whether the west in...

is speaking at all now about what is with russia, in that in the form in which it is, something needs to be done, and done promptly, and you know, always when certain decisions are made regarding important issues for ukraine, of course, the united states of america, as a leader, who helps us in this struggle of ours with russian aggression, we always expect and it will be easier to negotiate with our... partners from the european union, with great britain, and even when we talk about both financial aid and specific types of weapons, it is clearly appropriate thus affects decision-making already in the european continent. i remember several meetings, in particular in the british parliament with our colleagues last year, when we'.

but they discussed and raised the issue of the transfer of frozen russian sovereign assets to ukraine in relation to this issue, in fact, in particular great britain... is one of the leaders in this process, and although there are not so many such funds in the united states of america in comparison, there is order, as far as i remember, 5 billion dollars at a time when on the european continent it is about 300 billion dollars, uh, accordingly, everyone always looks in the direction of the united states of america, they say, yes, yes, we are ready to work here, to develop a mechanism. because there are actually complex legal procedures, and each country, in particular, has to implement the relevant legislation in itself, the country that has such relevant frozen russian assets, eh, but they at the same time say yes, yes, and at the same time nod in the direction of the united

states of america, they say, what about your negotiations with them, so definitely, we all expect this important historic decision and...i think everything will be fine because these are actually the procedures that are going on in the senate right now, this is, as my colleague said, the united states of america, a democratic country, and obviously they have the appropriate bureaucratic procedures, as far as i know, in the case of this, the discussion of the supplementary, the vote itself has to be delayed for about 30 hours, and in particular we heard in the... the president of the united states of america said that he is ready to sign immediately as soon as it is voted on in the senate, and also statements their other officials, that immediately after the signing, this aid will be transferred to ukraine very quickly, because really everyone understands

the need we have now, and of course, accordingly, after this decision, it will be easier for us to communicate. with our european partners, regarding both financial assistance and military assistance. and it will be easier to communicate with the russian troops, i mean our armed forces of ukraine, because the russian propagandists are simply hysterical about the adoption by the congress of the united states of america of a bill on granting ukraine help, and they often try to find an explanation on the air, what happened there, why some republicans and, in particular, the speaker. johnson allowed this vote, let's see a small fragment, because it, it is very revealing. they bought johnson, they bought it, but trump's idea, it was trump who proposed the idea of ​​a loan. in fact, this game is johnson speaker. comrade

johnson, you are the speaker, don't take a bribe from biden. i wonder how much biden has broken trump and his supporters. he really destroyed them, this is an unequivocal brutal victory for biden, because he did not give to the republicans nothing, nothing, what was it, is it a defeat for donald trump or is it a concession by the republicans? no one can understand how it happened that speaker johnson changed clothes so quickly in the air, what happened to him, maybe he was tortured? it is very difficult to understand what happened there, it is difficult to say unequivocally, but i think, all the same, it was not possible without trump here. mrs. iryna, as russian propagandists say, we couldn’t do without trump here,

we couldn’t do without everyone here, apparently, putin just got everyone and russia got everyone got that, in principle, both republicans and democrats are already beginning to understand. that we are talking, as i said, not about a war against ukraine, not only against ukraine, against the whole world, or is it like this, it can be considered a kind of overfishing moment in 2024, when the world finally begins to realize that there is no such thing with russia future not only for ukrainians, but also for other peoples of the world? i think that there is still a very long way to punish russia, unfortunately. and i see slightly different accents here, there were not americans here. it is obvious that america is a democracy, and american politicians, whether it's the biden administration, whether it's trump's team, whether it's democrats or republicans, despite the strategic vision of the

threats posed by putin's russia, they, especially in an election year, are very dependent on public opinion . and you know, i monitored very importantly. the american media after the historic saturday vote and the entire range of ukrainian media, no matter what their sympathies are, whether they are more republican or democratic, they are all very supportive. appreciated it voting, finally, that it is very right, that it strengthens america, i think that's when society showed that they realize that it is necessary for america, when it came, including to society, that part of these large, part of these funds remains in the american military industry, that these are their budgets, and also their workplaces, that this is the punishment of evil, so this vote took place, plus i thank you very much... for example, to the former deputies of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, who, working with such

a conservative wing of the republic party not only political, but also, you know, emotional arguments were added there, in particular, there was such a meeting between johnson and a man who lost his wife and young son in odessa during the russian shelling, and this is such a very religious family too. the priest, the protestant, and all these emotional things, they are working very hard, and i am convinced that all of us can do more, much more, but unfortunately, inter-parliamentary diplomacy is blocked, i am convinced that the deputies of the verkhovna rada would have more opportunities to communicate with our including partners, including republican partners, for example, we saw republicans during the osce parliamentary assembly and there was... the chaplain of the house of representatives, with whom we also spoke there about the law on chaplains, about the great work that

chaplains do today at at the front, about that munitions hunger, about every day of delay, which brings death to both civilians and military, you know, we would help our country much more with this, and i am very sorry that this is an absolute bad foreign policy, sometimes of the ukrainian authorities, which blocks inter-parliamentary dialogue, it hurts the front, but we welcome today... the decision of our american partners, and here i agree with colleagues that i hope that there will be a vote in the senate this week, and this law will be signed, the weapons will come to the front as soon as possible, there just a catastrophic situation with shells, they are badly needed, and we need an air defense system, and we need to work with other countries to strengthen our front. thank you, mrs. iryna, kyrylo budanov. and the head of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine says that

that a rather difficult period awaits us, may-june, the russians will try to destabilize the situation both internally and at the front, and domestic politics is meant, obviously we are talking about the fact that the russians will question the legitimacy of president zelenskyi, no one will question the legitimacy of zelenskyi, as the head... of the ukrainian state is not being put inside the state now, we understand that there is a war and this is absolutely understandable, but when budana says that at the end of may and in the middle of june it may be hot in ukraine, then there are absolutely logical questions, but what should both the legislative and executive authorities do in this situation, perhaps more work should be done, perhaps some... operational decisions that will allow to resist the russian

occupation forces in an operational mode, perhaps more diplomacy international parliamentary diplomacy of all forces is needed, perhaps it is necessary to combine all the efforts of all political forces into a government of national unity, or perhaps into a new parliamentary majority, and say that we are... one big team, together with the people, we will resist this influx. mr. oleksandr, hasn't the time come to say everything to all opponents, because it turns out that there is a government, there are opponents, i don't say opposition, because during the war, to say that there is an opposition is somehow not quite correct, because we have one enemy - the russian federation, but this political unity is still... well, it's not enough, and people don't feel it either. well, actually, the answer to this

question is very simple. in those conditions of war, when survival and existence are at stake of the state and the people, it is necessary to make sure that all authorities do everything possible and impossible to achieve victory and to resist and effectively repel the russian onslaught. and if we talk, for example, about the sphere of... foreign policy, about the interaction between the party in power, so to speak, and the opposition, then we see that we have complete unity, i as a person who is part of... , for example, the ukrainian delegation in pare, i can testify to this, that is, we have never had any questions, the same applies to other delegations in the inter-parliamentary union, in the nato parliamentary assembly and so on, i think that colleagues will agree with this, the situation is really quite dangerous, especially this is possible due to the fact that putin

will try to make some, let's say, unpleasant surprises the day before. on may 9, or on the eve of the summit in july, the nato summit, that is , you have to be ready, and what mr. budanov says, you really have to take it very seriously and do everything possible to prevent it in the first place. thank you, mr. oleksandr, mrs. galina, oleksandr merezhko says that provocations by the russian federation are possible, it is clear that... at least two important summits for us are ahead, this is the global peace summit in switzerland in mid-june, then in july there will be the 75th anniversary summit of nato, and ukraine too expects to hear from the north atlantic alliance, some kind of invitation, i don't know in what

form it should be, or a road map already , as it were, in lithuania. last year it was prescribed how russian this machine is, in your opinion, how much it can change the course of these two summits, because from these two summits in the end, the future of ukraine and the future of europe and the future of the world will probably depend on it. yes, it is obvious that both events are very important for us, and we already know how russia, preparing for certain events, activates, uses its military and weapons, but when we talk about war, in particular from our side, about the defense of these brutal russian aggression, first of all we have to talk about weapons, because what will we fight and defend ourselves if we don't have weapons, that's why these are all the aids that we already mentioned today are critically important, and it is very important to us that

immediately after the united states , our other partners and the things that we hear are being actively discussed now and the transfer of additional patriots from other countries of the european union, so that it is really brought to an end and implemented we need to strengthen our anti-aircraft defenses, we need more artillery shells to actively defend ourselves. we need high-quality fortifications so that our fighters can properly defend themselves, because we are not russia. we protect our soldiers, and first of all, for our top military leadership, it should be the preservation of military life, we must fight with quality, high-quality new technologies, new developments, drones and everything else, you know, in fact,

relevant developments are taking place in the military and defense complex, i know about... the fact that many high-quality manufacturers have really appeared in the defense industry, the issue is money, so the second issue, besides, of course, weapons, is the financial issue, the fact that today we also they said, it is very important that our international partners do not stop financially, because they can, like helping us purchase these weapons, similarly help us. and continue to replenish our state budget, because let me remind you that all the fees that we as a country collect during the war from taxes, customs payments, everything goes to the defense of the state, to pay salaries to our military, to purchase ammunition and other things related to defense, others are about 60% of the needs

of our state budget every month covered for help. with the help of our international partners, i.e. all pensions, salaries, public servants, doctors, teachers, the entire social sphere, cultural, infrastructural, all, all other things, all payments from the state budget are made with the help of our financial partners, so it is obvious that in the complex weapons, the financial issue, and of course the people on the battlefield, but here it is very important that the people who are going to fight are properly... provided, are properly prepared, understand exactly where they are going, in what kind of troops and accordingly had due. preparation, these key things, i think, are very important now and must be

properly ensured by our military leadership, obviously we have to be very vigilant and prepared now, especially in the preparation for these two summits. thank you, ms. galina, ms. irena, you had experience, a lot of experience communicating with russian delegations when you... were involved in settlement, peaceful settlement in donbas, and you, you know what is worth or what is not worth a russian word, is it worth it at all after february 24, 2022, to hope for some words, for some commitments, for what they promise there, or in principle everything is clear with this regime of putin, and there is nothing to talk about with them at all. sergey, we have known you for a long time. and you know my political position, all these years, i believe that nato membership is fundamental for ukraine, and unfortunately, we lost a lot of time here, and i

believe that it is even more important for us than eu membership. and unfortunately, for two months before the summit, we do not yet have any positive signals regarding the possible signal at the washington summit, and i believe that we too... actually do not have the same program as we had for ukraine's membership in the eu, a clear plan, homework that we had to do in order to obtain candidate status, we also have such a plan , our diplomatic service there did not propose to the country and partners that we move more actively in this direction, i believe that now all institutions of power need to focus on preparing for... the nato summit, on, sorry, dialogue with our partners , in order to after all, ukraine received this signal, this is the first. second, with russia, she understands only force. and you know, today we need to

talk more actively about the illegitimacy of putin, because the world has forgotten that putin is illegitimate. i'm sorry, he was elected not just in an undemocratic way, and not just in the occupied territories, but in fact on the bones of ukrainians, in mariupol, in other occupied cities, and he cannot be considered legi'. president, if the west does not recognize lukashenka, why does it recognize putin? just because it is a nuclear state, we are not finalizing here. i i believe that this is also our homework, but interparliamentary diplomacy is blocked in our country, and we could do more together. you rightly said that today there is a consensus on the impossibility of holding elections during martial law, because they will not be democratic. this consensus was reached, by the way, by the leaders of the parliamentary factions, we signed it. document, although it is, well, this document is not simple, but there are other points among the points besides not holding elections, because they must be democratic and already post-war, that is

interparliamentary diplomacy, this is freedom of speech, and i’m sorry, there have been no steps in this direction for six months, and today we should be talking about the support of the government, the issue is not only in legitimacy, but in the fact that the government should feel the society, i would highly recommended. strengthen communication with society, if you talk to society, no russian ipso is possible, with society you need seconds on the air, and it seems to me that these steps, they would be very important, for today, like our homework. thank you, mrs. iryna, iryna gerashchenko, oleksandr mereshko, halyna vasylchenko were guests of our program today, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for participating in the program, i would like to remind you that during the entire broadcast we conducted a survey and asked you about this, are you watching? you are a telethon, the only news is meant not while watching the tv channel, but in general. so 17% yes, 83% no, these are the results of a tv poll and
