americans. >> look. ki we are going to ask a total of each ask two questions. i will recognize the first questions. danny kim.mp >> thank you mr. president. president biden, ukraine's counteroffensive has stalled in recent months. congress is blocking aid. vladimir putin appears ready to wait things out.. so what is the strategy for the u.s. and ukraine next year to try to turn this around and if that fails, at what point do you say to ukraine as a friend that is perhaps time to start lookine at peace talks? and for president zelenskyy welcome back to washington. can i ask, did you hear what yo wanted twao hear from congress d from president biden or are you more worried than when you got here? >>well well, let me answer a question firstthe let's put thu perspective. remember how far ukraine has come. russia has failed, failed thus far in trying to erase ukraine from the map and subsume into russia. ukraine has taken back more tha 50 percentof of its territory ha seized since february twucht and pushed back the russian navy so ukraine can export grain and steel to the world through the black sea. it's not just american support. there are more than 50 countries helping ukraine with military economic, andan humanitarian assistance, 50. the burden sharingburd the u.s. put up $75 ibm and our allies and partners $100 billion. il more than 90 percent of our security assistance to ukraine ise to being sent in the united states to provide welcomes for ukraine an pd remen issue our t and build our industry bail base. we need to be sure putin fails in ukraine and the best way is do that is to pass a supplemental. >> any ukranian please. thank you. wo first of all i two like to add r to mr. president biden about successes. i think these are not easy successes. nonetheless we were quite w serious and we have serious systems forward n. this we gain victory on the sea. we destroy ships of the russian federation. we throw the remnants of their fleet to russian territorial waters. yet they have something in the k sea in the vicinity of our temporarily occupied crimea but we are going to continue this ne activity. theyless destroyed 20,000 of mercenaries. these are serious terrorists who are amassing everywhere on er african continent in syria in ukraine, a lot of masks yes we have had a lot of problems but nonetheless, we are able to do this. moree to over, russia were not to seize any part of our territory any village, any town. i'm not talking about large cities and we are going to proceed with. this it is going without sayinge we have object lively have cleaa plan but if you allow me i'm not able to tell you the details on2 the 2024 operations. if i heard what i want i heard a lot. surely i told what i wanted to. i feel the support from president biden and separation and we would be talking to the speaker.in i got the signal they were more than positiv me but we know tha we have to separate world and particular result.t. therefore we will count on particular result. thank you. >> yeah, sorry. >> thank you for taking my question. u.s. correspondent. many doubt the ability of ukraine to win the war. recently told ukraine needs to cede territory to stop fighting, to b he very honest have you ev considered such a step, and mr. biden could you please clarify the policy and strategy of your administration on ou ukraine? is it about the help the country defend itself or win the war? because it's obviously such a n, difference. >> i will okabegin. >> so, first question, your question is if we are ready to give up the territories? >> the question is not only about our wars of course. the question is about what we are north, how ukraine is able to give up its territories. b that's insane, to be honest andn we are mentioning god, very openly. it's not about christianity. we have our people. we have our families there. we have children there. it's part of ukranian society and we are talking about human beings. they are being under torture, raped and killed and those forces which are forced to give up our territories are forced to give u.p our people. it's not a matter of territory it's a matter of lives of family of history, i don't know whose idea it is but i have a question ifhe they are ready to give up their children to terrorists. i think no. >> we want to see ukraine win ra the war and as i've said before, winning means ukraine is a sovereign independent nation and can afford to defend itself today and deter further aggression. that's our objective. trevor, reuters. tha >> thank you, sir. first fia question for both of you. given the republican exempt sichl of the ukraine effort do you worry that a second term for president trump would be the end of independent ukraine and for you president biden, just an update if you could on the situation insitu gaza on the res that israel has begun flooding hamas tunnels and just the offensive in southern gaza generally how long do you think that operation should last. thank you. > first of all with regard t political support for ukraine there is a strong bipartisan million support for ukraine. small number of republicans who don't want to support ukraine but they don't speak for the ma majority of the republicans in u my view. we are in negotiations to get funding we need, not to promise, not making promises but hopeful we can get there.bu i think we can. you're right, the world is watching what we do, which is to sendble a horrible message to allies if we walk away at this time and it would hurt our national hur security. you want male to answer the oth question as well with regard to -- say it again. a >> sorry. so the question was just, if you could talk a little bit about the gaza operation, israel flooding hamasel tunnels and ifr you've had conversations with bibby netanyahu about that. i have had conversation with pitbully netanyahu and i want tg make sure we don't forget what we're doing here. we have to support israel because they're an independent h nation that's been -- i mean the brutality the way the hamas treated the israelis. i mean raping and burning and beheading is just beyond comparison, beyond comparison and to anything else i've seen since i've been here and i've beenn ar around for a long time i think that we have made it clear that the israelis no matter where that the safety of innocent palestinians is still ofreat great concern and so, th actions they'rionse taking mustt consistent with attempt to go do everything possible to prevent t innocent palestinian civilians from being hurt murdered killed lost et cetera. and look. it doesn't civiliaen the responsibility going after hamas, innocent palestinians and hamas. look. we have a responsibility to protec t citizens and make sure they have access to humanitaria assistance. that's why i work so hard with our arab friends as well as israelis to get humanitarian assistance into israel ass lites getingra up to 140 trucks loade with gear loaded with the food loaded with everything that's needed by the palestinians including fuel. so you know israel has stated its intent to fulfill these responsibilities. it's very difficulet with regar to theg of flooding of the tunn well there is assertionses being made that they're quite sure e there are no hostages in any of these opportunities but i don't knowut that for a fact. i did know that every civilian deatrageh is an absolute tragedd israel stated its intent as i said to match its words with actions.s that's why i was talking about it today. question 3. i guess -- no, i just asked it. >> musy turn. > p your turn. >> so i have been talking a lot with representatives of both parties. both democrats and republicans have proved fullfledged support and we will see but before this we have always been trusting in support of ourbeen strategic par the united states and we will seo e that it continues in this way and ukraine won't remain alone against such a critical terrorise agt tasz -- as the run federation. >> thank you so much. my name is yaroslav for news agency ukraine. next summer united states will host a nato summit in washington, d.c. which raises a lot of hope especially for ukraine. president zelenskyy what does tht doe ukranian side expect fr thismit? summit and do you hope hearrect direct invitation befo ukraine joins the alliance and president biden under what conditions is the united states ready to support the initiative of inviting ukraine to be member of nato. thank you. >> thank you for your question. i will answer very quickly on this very complicated version. we are not allies until now. we are not allies but we are no members of nato. so that's why i think i will press this question too.ou [laughter]. >> our bigr bi friend, presiden biden. >> look. i'm very proud of how strong and unified nato has become and now it's even larger. putin wanted to [indistinct] ed with nato when i met with him in geneva right after i was elected and he's gotten the natoization of finland instead and nato will be in ukraine's future no question about that but as we said in vilnius ukraine will becomeee a member of nato when allies agreeitio and conditions met. right now we have to make sure we win the war. we launched the joint declaratioportn of support alon president zelenskyy and the g-7 leaders outlining long-term commitment to supporting defense needs and we hosted a conference last week here in d.c. to get that critical work done so it's a step at a time. thank you all very much.yo >> thank you everybody. >> all right that, was president joe biden at the white house bi with president volodymyr zelenskyy of ukraine where funding for ukraine is stuck.in the president refuses to fund proper border security, so we are at impasse over the $60 billion that's been requested to fund that war which is now in a trench stalemate. the lines have dug in and the counteroffensive by the ukranians isinia stuck.so so right now he's asking for money. congress is no t giving it to him and he's just promised eventual nato membership to ukraine which seems provocative considering that russian troops are in that term and both president joe biden any.d zelenskyy say that tota l victory is the strategy. soetd looks hike we are not heading toward peace negotiations. judge jeanine pirro do you thinh the president was persuasive selling american people in conditions that we need to fund in perpetuity?ct >> i don't think any american wants to do that. i don't know he makes the case it affects americans. the americans are in favor of democracor oy and making sure ta putin doesn't invade and all that but the idea that he says we will not walk away from ukraine, we need to win, we are not ready to sit down and engage in peace talks, which is kind of inconsistent with the way he's talkintentg about israel.ta withlk israel he said you know u have to be careful he's warning of changing public opinion and the assault in israel on october 7th this is december whatever it is and this war is going on. they started building up the t troops in the spring of i believe it was 2021 and then we started in 2022. biden doesn't want to go into ao campaign for president in the middle ocaf a war and i don't kw that the americans have the hunger to make sure we stay in itunti until they win and we go make sure that ukraine gets into nato. i don't think america is sold on that. what's interesting ht.e says th one or two lines he talked about our border the american border he says i'm looking for a bipartisan compromise to solve thmisee border crisis as oppose we are going to close the bordered and prosecute the he people violating the law coming in so i think he's all over the place and i think in the end he just wants t o keep giving money a tos ukraine. the americans are sceptical as they should be. >> it's an east deal. he just as to fund border security and republicans will fund the ukraine war. it seems like there's agreementp on that. >> what happenedened doing the packagraele for israel and ukra was already difficult to do.mo getting the borderne policy mon is also difficult to do. the biden administration strategy was to combine them asr if it were easier that way to pass rather than harder. they thought if they say republicans we are going to ask can for more border money and the republicans said we will talk about it but actually we are looking for some policy changes we want more money and the republicans have all of them locked on and saying red rover send it over and the democrats as far as i've heard in the negotiations are not willing to do basic horse training. it was the biden administration whdero opened this administrati to get aid for israel and crane so they have to come to the table because the biden administration may have mayorkas shea the boarded is closed but americans are watching on their screens the numbers
