america safer, it's going to make the world safer, it's lifesaving for that, and for our partners, so that they can defend themselves and defend their sovereign land. in the next few hours, i will do my best to pass this on to our respective. bodies, so that missile systems, weapons were sent to ukraine, and that this, this package - this aid will not only help ukraine, but also security in europe. and the pentagon has already announced the immediate provision of arms worth a billion dollars to ukraine. the package will contain wipes, anti-aircraft missiles, stinger anti-aircraft missiles, small arms, ammunition. for hymers, artillery shells, mortar shells, combat vehicles,

large packages of military aid, and the most important thing is that, as president biden said, literally in a few days these weapons will be on the front, and the armed forces of ukraine will have the opportunity to use them, however, at the moment when american aid is flying and is already... going to the ukrainian state, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleba said that no single package of military aid can stop it. russia, for this we need a united front of all ukraine and all its partners, the minister says that the russian federation now produces about ten times, listen, ten times more weapons, so the west should increase the production of weapons, as ukraine has done. when i see what russia has achieved in the development

of the defense and industrial base during the two years of war, says kuleba, and what the west has achieved, i think that something is wrong with the west. the west must realize that the era of peace in europe is over, the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine emphasized. i don't know, frankly speaking, whether these reproaches or appeals of mr. kuleba to of our western partners is appropriate now, because we see, in fact, how difficult it was to give us this $61 billion aid from america. partners, we see how the representatives of great britain are already providing a large package of military aid in the amount of 500 million pounds sterling, yesterday rishi sunak, while in poland, announced the provision of this military package is large enough, of course , the idea of ​​​​creating a united front, or simply

put, of an anti-putin front, which would fight for... russia and oppose the kremlin by all means and possibilities, this is the right mr. kuleba's appeal, but we must always remember that starting from 2022, on february 24 , ukraine did obtain a large enough military and financial aid from our western partners, and here it is against the background of the fact that... biden is talking about, and this confirms president zelensky after a conversation with the president of the united states of america, that ukraine will definitely receive long-range attack missiles. german chancellor olafszows once again confirmed his refusal to supply tauros cruise missiles to ukraine, even

though the congress of the united states of america ready to transfer american long-range missiles. and cams, he announced this during a press conference with british prime minister rishi sunak. let's hear what olaf scholz had to say. my decision is very clear, about one weapon system, but my decision is also clear that we will provide the most support in europe to ukraine, and together with great britain will continue to be the two countries that do the most. of course, the germans, starting from the date i mentioned on february 24, 2022, did too much a lot for the ukrainians, but the long-range taurus missiles, which are so awaited in ukraine, the germans still do not give to the armed forces of ukraine, obviously they are afraid that with these

missiles, the ukrainian army can destroy the crimean bridge and russia can appreciate this. as an attack on the russian federation, well , to put it simply, the germans are afraid of being drawn into a war with the russian federation, although it seems to me that russia is not too concerned about these formal signs, what kind of weapons are coming to ukraine, they both said and still say that russia now opposes the north atlantic alliance, which russia is at war with. and whether scholz gives us long-range taurus missiles or not, the kremlin's position will not change, but the position of the ukrainian army may strengthen, especially amid statements that the russian federation is going to intensify its strike campaign to disrupt the logistical

support of the armed forces forces of ukraine, serhiy shoigu, henchman volodymyr, said about this, in particular. putin let's hear what shaygu said. in proportion to the threats from the united states and its allies, we will continue to improve the composition and structure of the armed forces, to increase the production of the most popular types of weapons and military equipment. we will increase the intensity of strikes on logistics centers and storage bases of western weapons. the armed forces of the russian federation continue. we will hit logistics centers or military hubs of the armed forces of ukraine, this means that the russian occupiers will attack peaceful cities, and this is absolutely obvious, they always cover their terror and their aggression

against the civilian population by the fact that they as if some military bases or some logistics centers are being destroyed, and this statement, shoigu , absolutely coincides with the forecasts that were made public. by the head of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine, general kyryll budanov , that russia will try, starting from the middle of may and the end of june, to destabilize the situation, both at the front and inside the ukrainian state, and obviously, obviously, these are chains of the same and the campaign that the russian federation is currently conducting. actually, friends, you need to understand what lies ahead a global peace summit is planned for switzerland, to which representatives of more than 100

countries have been invited. mir zelenskyi's formula and the formula proposed by the ukrainian president to end the aggressiveness of the russian federation will be discussed in switzerland. no russians are invited to this summit. federation, and this means that the russian federation will do everything in the short term to do everything in order to gain a more favorable position for future negotiations with our western partners, regarding the future of ukraine or with on the ukrainian side, they expect to speak, in short, we will watch and analyze the situation according to how they will develop... events both on the eastern and southern fronts, and also according to the promises of shoigu to fire at logistics centers and warehouses

of the armed forces of ukraine, how successful they will be for the russian invaders. friends, i remind you that we are working live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are currently watching us live there, please subscribe to our pages, and take it honor in our survey, today we ask you about this, are consular restrictions for men abroad justified? yes, no, it's pretty simple on youtube: if you vote on tv and watch us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote if you think consular restrictions on men abroad are justified (0800-211-381) , no 0800-211382, all calls to these numbers are toll-free. please vote, at the end of the program we will summarize our voting, and we have our the first guest is oleksandr khara, a diplomat, an expert on foreign and security

policy at the center for defense strategies. mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. good evening, mr. sergey, thank you for the invitation. well, first of all, mr. oleksandr, let's start with fresh news. biden quickly signed the law, which was passed. by the congress of the united states of america and approved by the senate of the united states of america, these days, biden said that the weapons will be delivered to the ukrainian state fairly quickly, for a few hours, the united states of america will resume the supply of weapons, kyiv will receive ammunition for air defense, missile systems, artillery, and armored vehicles. can you explain why actually... this pause was so long, and what prompted both republicans and democrats to finally make a decision, a decision they are not

ashamed of. well, it should be said that this is the result of an internal political struggle first of all, and secondly, secondly, it is in such a way that the house of representatives is rigged. well, actually there is a small majority in the chamber republican representatives. and the trumpians, the biggest ardent supporters of trump, they own a gold stock, i want to remind you that at one time they removed from the post of the previous speaker, kevin mccarthy, and actually there was a very interesting situation, a compromise bill was voted with the democrats, which allowed to finance the american government, and the next one should have been a vote for aid to ukraine, and actually these trumpians first of all... such a representative as matt gates, he set off this trigger and removed this person from office and appointed more precisely, they chose mike johnson. but all

the same conditions under which power was formed in the house of representatives, they remained, i want to remind you of a few points: the first is any vote, it must be a majority in the majority, and even then, in fact, such a bolshevik discipline that no one can go , well , first of all, the speaker for compromises with the democrats, if the majority of republicans do not agree to this, the second point is not to vote. in the package, all, let’s say, separately, and actually they wanted to separate the ukrainian package and fill it up, and it is clear that in the end this did not work out, the next moment is important, it is an attempt to solve the problems of border migration in a package with the help of ukraine, israel and taiwan. at first it looked quite logical, but then it was clear that trump decided

to leave this one unresolved. issue for it to be a hot-button issue that concerns a large number of americans, voters, before the election day of the president of the united states, the full house of representatives and a third of the senate this november, that is, trump decided to keep it to himself, and he quite aggressively, let's say, spoke out about aid to ukraine, and even more so his wards, well, then he took a half step back when he decided not just to give ukraine free of charge, to give a loan free of charge, but to have the opportunity to influence ukraine in the future , and this idea reached at least the conservative, normal part, the traditional part of the republican party, and i think the key point was not that ukrainian diplomacy worked, ukrainian evangelists who met with mike johnson worked, worked

the inner ear. mr. trump, he realized that he would not get certain positive points from the fact that he would continue to block the transfer of aid to ukraine, let's imagine that something bad happened on the front of ukraine, and of course the democrats would blame trump for having intervened and led to the disaster, and i think that his change of position was the key thing that unlocked it in the house of representatives, a very good result. in the senate 79 to 18, these 18 include three, more precisely two democrats, one independent bernie sanders, he, but he voted not against ukraine, but against aid to israel, and this circle does not include three such trumpians, three pro-russian, in fact , senators who simply voted that they are present, and i think this is very an important result, it shows that in the senate

there is definitely... bipartisan support for ukraine, the second point is extremely important, it is a signal to russian society that the war will last a long time, that their hope that the americans will want to leave ukraine, they are not excused themselves, and now it seems to me that they should scratch their backs and think whether it is necessary for their children, their husbands or their parents to die in this war, which brings nothing... to ordinary russians, well, of course, this is a philosophical question, of course, that this is a signal to ukrainian society, and we are glad , i think it is very right that the ukrainian parliamentarians, let's say, thanked the american people and the american congressmen, showing the american flag in the ukrainian parliament, i want to remind you that before this, when aid was voted in the chamber representatives, so i'm sorry, it

was in the senate. used ukrainian flags, and this maga party, she was just angry, and they said that this is a general violation of the law, the rules that in fact there should be no other flag than the american one on the capitol, and of course, that aid to ukraine, it is also a signal to allies in europe and other parts of the world that the united states is not going to waver from its leadership positions, that it is... sticking to its word and the commitments it has made. let's see, i think that in fact we have already started to receive these weapons, it is clear that the biden administration has ordered in such a way that germany, first of all, poland already has the means that were planned to be transferred to us, and they are now heading to the front line, i literally watched a politician before the broadcast, they...
