Mr. Yuri, we welcome you, tell us what is known as of now, how are the important discussions for us going . Congratulations to khrystyna, congratulations to antina, well, to be honest, i dont know, maybe this meeting in the ramshtein format has already ended, because now its already afternoon here and literally in an hour and a half another very important meeting for us will start, this is a nato meeting, but ukraine today in the spotlight, its 100 . At the moment , it is not well known what exactly happened at the meeting of the group in the ramstein format, because so far. No one approached the press, the only thing was that before the start, the minister of defense of the United States of america, lloyd austin, the president of ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, and the secretary general of the north atlantic alliance, jens stoltong, also spoke a few words, and they said, they constantly talked about the fact that they would give ukraine what ukraine needs now, the weapons that ukraine wants the west, western partners to give, and above all, these should be means of antiair. Defense, since and minister austin, and nato secretary general jen stolteng talked about the fact that putin this year, this winter, will also try to use it as a weapon against the ukrainians, to break our pipeline, to break our economy, as he said very well , secretary austin, secretary of defense lloyd austin , that putin wanted to demoralize the ukrainians , instead he demoralized his own army, and nato allies and partners will help the ukrainians demoralize the russian army even more, well, in addition to antiaircraft of defense, the heads of the defense ministries of the member countries of the alliance may have already finished discussing this, and may still discuss the further provision of ammunition to ukraine for our artillery systems, since it is very important, as the secretary general of nato and the minister of defense said. The United States of america is important not only for the defense of ukraine, but also for conducting a counteroffensive, which is also very important, and here i must also say that together with these meetings, there are also various briefings, and at one of these briefings i today i went to a briefing with the director of the security directorate of Security Cooperation and strategy of nato, and there was a lot of talk about help, how much they give, they will give, but i asked, for example, i was interested, two weeks ago admiral rob bauer from nato said about , that nato stocks are running out and that they need to be replenished, because it will be difficult to provide aid to ukraine, i asked this director how critical it all is, the directors answer, unfortunately, was not what i wanted, he simply said wait, the briefing of nato secretary general ens spoltenburg at the end of todays working day, well, this briefing is scheduled for 18 30 brussels, it will be 19 30 in kyiv , and since everything is being delayed now, i have a suspicion that it will be delayed this briefing, but the fact that nato allies and partners are now determined to continue to help us, the ukrainians, as much as necessary and give all the necessary weapons, even though some such dissonance can be felt in the countries, members on. Among their leaders, but in general nato is united and in general nato is united will continue to help us, well, i remain in place in order to really expect the approach, first of all, of the secretary of defense lloyd austin, together with the new, the head of the of the joint chiefs of staff, charles brown, who will talk about what happened at the meeting, the ramshformat group. Well, later in the evening, general secretary stoltenberg will sum up the results. The main thing that ukrainians are waiting for is whether we will still have f16 planes, lets hear. See you, colleague word, thank you, well, we wish you an inspired work, if you will be present at those briefings, first of all ask a question that consists of one word atekems, and in case of something you can repeat it, yes, because this drama dragged on, you understand, with an allocation to us of extremely critical weapons, our correspondent from brussels, yuriy fizer, was working live now, we are adding now who, oksana yurenets, a professor at the National University of lviv. Technique of the exhead of the ukrainian delegation in the Nato Parliamentary Assembly 201819 and a member of the network for the protection of National Interests ans. Oksana, congratulations , glory to ukraine. Glory to the heroes, i congratulate you, and we are actually talking about the speech and the appearance of the president of ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi at the 16th meeting of the Contact Group on defense issues, this is what makes this meeting stand out from all the previous ones, the presence of the president himself. And, i, i listened to what he was saying, and one of the theses particularly caught my eye. Ukraine is in the last stage of the war, and it is the most difficult. Mrs. Oxano, maybe, maybe could you help me explain what we, as ukrainians, should have heard from this thesis and what our partners should have heard and heard, well , you rightly noted that it is very important that the president of ukraine is there, this means that for ukraine this the track is relevant, important, and we expect results, after every rammstein, and this is already the 16th, i always say, we need to see what remains in the dry residue, yes, that is, what specifically by points, and very often it is determined by each country , that she is ready to give us, i think thats it the final and expected stage is that we need to protect the sky, you mentioned in the studio about protecting in terms of making it possible to close. The sky, but on the other hand we also need to have an equally appropriate such as airplanes that will help us preserve e, our armed forces, our military, therefore without this effective and necessary, necessary and active steps we cannot take despite the super training of our military today, therefore this fact of the presence of the president of ukraine, this is key and important, and i think that in fact, this 16th rammstein, it will be in the context of the latest events , what happened in israel, definitely, have a slightly different character, maybe the acceleration of many processes, which is also very important for us today, i think absolutely today , from the first mouth, the head of the ukrainian state can report and be more vocal, from the point of view of everything that was promised, still get as a result after this 16th ramstein, and you know, it generally seems to me that ukraine, if it starts. Lets say so, use every moment, quickly to move and always be active, she even becomes a leader, i would really like it to be the same in that romshtan, you know, even if you look at the events there yesterday, the day before yesterday, when the capital of kyiv includes flags, vitaliy klitschko, israel, today we we heard yesterday already in other capitals of washington, brussels, berlin, the lighting of colors is turned on, of course this is a very specific gesture, but it will unite. In this ramstan we need unification, because there are also not only nato member countries, not only European Union countries, but more than 50 countries of the states that are united together, for the sake of this help, we want this ramstein to be accelerated, to be more effective with concrete figures, what we are always used to expect, because in reality we are waiting for a long time, a lot, very often these are promises and your journalists are correct in asking specific questions, why, because they want to talk in numbers, they want to talk in terms of results , because it is very necessary, because in addition to the events in israel, we are keeping an eye on our eastern border, there are relatives there and we want to understand what they have, lets say what to protect us lets speak directly, and of course the message is that this is the next stage and it can be the final one, we would really like a quick victory, then it is definitely our prayer dreams, but lets be realistic and lets look at logistics, lets say, communication, logistics. All these chains, how they work, so that we can understand the perspective of not only the next month or two, the next six months, a year, more specifically plan for our armed forces of ukraine, count on the appropriate resources. Professor, well, accordingly, i would like to ask you about whether will not delay the provision of appropriate resources to israel, yes, as if everything is going very well at the level of declarations, no one will surrender ukraine, but on the other hand, we understand that now on the issue of aid to israel and ukraine to one package, we understand that this is all business will diversify, the key task for president Bidens Administration is to solve this issue, that is, from one. We see the plus , we understand that, in the United States, they understand all the dangers that are currently hanging over the state of israel, on the other hand, we wo
