from american reporters and a question each from bought -- ukrainian reporters. first colleen moncada associated press. >> reporter: thanks mr president. about 2 weeks ago you changed course to allow ukraine to fiery u.s. weapons into russia. given the reported successes, would you consider further expanding the parameters on u.s. weapons into russia back even despite you're concerns about escalation and on the note -- news from home you are going through something so many american families go through. the intersection of drug addiction in the criminal system. dew you believe the justice department operated independently and politics in your son's trial? >> with the answer you're question. with regard to the first question, it is clear that the mere broad meeting just across the line on the border of russia and ukraine and makes a lot of sense for ukraine to be able to take out or combat what is coming across that order. in terms of long-range weapons, into the interior of russia fact we've not changed our position on that. with regard to the question regarding to the fit -- the family i'm extremely proud of my son hunter. he is overcome an addiction and is 1 of the brightest most decent men i know. and i am satisfied, i'm not going to do anything. i said i will bye-bye your decision and i will do that. carl not pardon him. >> ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy, a number of leaders here in italy including president biden are facing upcoming election challenges. how will the security agreement signed tonight and other problems as of support continue if they are not an office? what is your contingency plan if they don't? >> yeah, good 1. [ speaking alternate language ] >> voice of interpreter: thank you for this question. first and foremost i would like to thank the people of the nation of the united states and countries in europe across other continents who have supported us since the beginning of this absolutely unjust more, russia against ukraine. they are killing people and homes and all of that is vary important first and foremost we are speaking about the lives of people. we understand and this war was unjust since the very beginning. the war of this evil whose name is prudent. he has killed so many people. to say it is not putin it was a military man who did it, the last 1 is just an instrument of him. he is playing this instrument and therefore it is putin for us. since the beginning we were supported by people, by nations because they understood that we share common values. we simply wanted to live and the people understood they imagine what will happen if such evil attacks them and therefore we were supported by people. i think president biden and other leaders who since the very beginning of the invasion started to support us. it was based on their values. based on the voice of their people and it is impossible without people. i'm sure that this nation chooses leaders and presidents and it seems to me no matter whom the nation chooses, first and foremost it seems to me that everything depends on the unity within this are that state. if the people are with us, any leader we'll be with us in the struggle for freedom. [ end of interpretation ] >> ukrainian reporter. >> yes thank you so much. [ speaking alternate language ] 's. >> voice of interpreter: yes, please. inter- tv channel. [ end of interpretation ] >> today during the g7 meeting discussion on developing ukraine's air system to share defence system based on the most advanced tech and long-range capabilities. my question is can you provide any details about the initiative and the readiness of our allies to take part in it? thank you. >> i'd be happy to respond to that. we have acquired commitment from 5 countries so far for patriot batteries and other air defence systems as well as we let it be known to those countries expecting from us air defence systems in the future that they are going to have to wait. everything we have is going to ukraine until their needs are met. then we will make good on the commitments we made to other countries. >> at the president biden already answered to your question really. all other partners as well as himself know that urgently need 7 patriot systems. in order to save our cities, urgently 7 i needed. and and we discussed the possibility of having 5 of them it is true but the partners work on it. it doesn't mean tomorrow we will have these 5 systems but we see a good result for ukraine in the future. >> american reporter josh wein broke lindberg. >> reporter: thank you mr president i have a question for ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy shortly but if you don't mind i'd like to ask you about your discussions on the situation in gaza here at the. the right -- talked about it before but can you give us your assessment of hamas as a response and do you believe they are trying to work towards a deal or is this response working against a deal and what is your message to allies including those here at the g7 about what more if anything the u.s. could do to drive towards the peace agreement. thank you. >> i wish she would play by the rules a little bit. i'm here to talk about the critical situation in ukraine, i'd be happy to answer detailed later but the bottom line is, we made, i laid out an approach that's being endorsed by the u.n. security council, by the g7, by the israelis and the biggest hangup so far as hamas refusing to sign on a even though they have something similar. whether or not it comes to fruition remains to be seen we will continue to be fresh will continue to push, i don't have a final answer for you. >> to president biden's point the question about today's discussions ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy $50 billion today you have the supplemental of course from u.s. congress recently, can you give us an assessment to the situation on the battlefield right now and what has been given now how long will this get you in terms of stopping the russian advance or making headway on this? and how long will it last you if indeed future leaders or current leaders are unable to reach consensus on further aid packages president biden i would welcome your assessment of the situation currently on the battlefield of what difference the supplementals may make. thank you. [ speaking alternate language ] >> voice of interpreter: thank you for your question. indeed we were expecting the fundamental -- fundamental package. it is important, we are grateful that in the vary end we had this supplement and it will for sure strengthen us. yes this has given the opportunity to the enemy to try to occupy kharkiv but they were repelled. despite everything, we disrupted all of their plans and to me that is there -- the most important thing. with this supplement, it enables us to fully equip the reserves. those brigades that are ready. so that they provide for the opportunity to a our units on the battlefield so they can have some rest and the bird gets canned regenerate and other briquettes enter the battlefield. this is what the supplement gives them. it raises morels but also raising strength. it seems to me this is the most important. for how long this will be enough. we have been holding the line for 8 months and the russian had -- russians had no successes. therefore the question for how long it will be enough, no i thank the question has to be for how long the unity we'll last. the unity in the united states together with european leaders. these only those elections could influence the unity. it seems to me that we could look on it exactly this way, to preserve unity and to preserve the integrity of the world, the integrity of the democratic world because if ukraine does not withstand the democracy of many countries will not be able to withstand. i'm sure of that. [ end of interpretation ] >> attaway the idea we had to weight until he passed legislation overall navy held up a small majority of our republican colleagues church is terrible. there is a lot more money coming beyond authority come and other options that are available now after passing legislation. they will get it there as quickly as they possibly can. >> take you so much mr president. telegraph. >> voice of interpreter: telegraph, please stop it back. >> taking this opportunity i've come a long way from kim and had long time to repair such a question. firstly for joe biden, mr president additional preparations act is signed the submission of -- for the war in ukraine within 45 days after it in akron. this deadline passed june the 8th and now the international community yet has not seen this strategy. has been developed? as it classified, what step does your administration plan to take in the war? that is my first question. i will have another for ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy. >> what was the last part of your question? >> has it been developed and what steps does your administration plan to take in the war to help ukraine. >> the steps we're going to take to make sure ukraine is victorious in russia does not prevail his continued support. we signed it and a significant number of nations signed it. we got support of the g7 and quite frankly 48 other countries we set the product -- with the prime minister of japan, south korea. we have 50 nations that have signed up beyond nato in the g7. so we are going to stay as long as it takes. with regards to the plan it is a planning process now. we are discussing exactly what it would be and we have a lot of movement towards that we know the outline of it. we've not done the detail of it all but we know what ukraine is capable of doing when given the material to defend themselves and that's exactly what they're doing now. [ speaking alternate language ] >> voice of interpreter: my second question is for ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy recently a couple statements were made about china and rumours in the press about possible supplies of russia's weapons to china. but from that china is actively promoting its own plan among several countries. what are the motives of beijing now and would it be possible to change the vision of china regarding our work we the final question is, is china a partner of russia in these crimes that it commits? [ end of interpretation ] >> my apologies that you're trip was long. [ laughter ] >> first of all i had little conversations with the leader of china by phone. he said he will not sell any weapon to russia but he said to me he will not because he gave me the word. the second, you know, very good with details rp's formula is very open for everybody. and you know that it's based on principles like territorial integrity, sovereignty, nuclear security back food security. if china has alternative view on ed, it can prepare alternative peace formula. if we share common views on it like we do globally with all the world i think so. so if they share the same way -- wait of this we will find dialogue. >> by the way, china is not supplying weapons but the ability to produce those weapons and technology available to do it. so it is in fact helping russia. inc. you also very much -- >> this concludes our press conference thank you everybody. -- thank you very much. [ ♪♪ ] >> okay. that last comment by president biden we will sea exactly what he said there but an interesting comment at the end by ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy and we will turn this around in a moment but he basically said he had spoken with president xi jinping of china and had assurances from him that he would not sell any weapons to russia to use in the war against ukraine. obviously he already has gotten 1 weapon in essence exchanged between the countries because china is buying up a lot of russian oil and helping them make a lot of money during this period of war. so the bottom line of this g7 meeting we just witnessed this news conference after is that they signed a security pact that the administration says "sends russia is signal of our resolve. co eating u.s. resolve in this matter. and other big focus today that your 7 litres agreeing to loan ukraine essentially, it is couple get it, but is $50 billion to be paid back with interest on frozen russian assets. they've locked up an enormous amount, billions of dollars of russian assets. the idea is that the interest on that, the many spinning off would be used to support the war in ukraine. it is inventive, whether or not it could work let's find out. let's bring in engineman hall, great to have you with this this afternoon. what are you're thoughts on allegis heard. they went on a little longer than we thought they might in terms of answering questions. what did you make of it? >> absolutely, markup -- martha i thank the big question is that he will stand side-by-side with ukraine's russia can't wait. we will stay as long as it takes the pieces there. he said 3 things, the 10 year bilateral peace agreement which ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy said was legal then obviously he said the 50 billion-dollar loans he was going to arrange and then he talked about sanctions which he thinks is a key area to focus on as well. but aside from those -- other then the background you have the idea of these elections that will take place, first of all in the u.s. in november. sending a message today to say the u.s. we'll be side-by-side with ukraine's matter what happens in november. that's why they're putting these plans and plays no. president trump was speaking earlier today and already spoke about trying to bring back the money being spent overseas. the message is strong. president biden saying we are side-by-side with you but of course so many questions about whether or not it can continue depending on the results in november. >> that's a great point. we've seen what's happening in europe. you see further right wing candidates gaining traction in the legislative arms of governments in france, germany where scholes position is a bit in jeopardy. you know, when i listen to ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy talk he talks about countries that have shared values. last week we were in normandy and the commander-in-chief of the u.s. forces -- excuse me joint chiefs of staff, you know, also referenced normandy. the bond that exists between european countries against countries that are not like minded like russia when it comes to the elements of freedom. so it feels like this is a very seminal moment in terms of how russia will act based on how what happens in all these places, been. >> while absolutely. and russia president vladimir putin is watching vary closely to see what happens in these elections. trying to make them change their ways but today the message was all about unity. ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyy said it many times, we are unified over this. i do think that even if all these leaders sitting there today except for maloney the italian leader are at risk of losing their jobs quite quickly and all of those likely to move further to the right. but that doesn't mean the other countries will turn away from ukraine spending a military man to -- 2%. traffic that is a key point when it comes to how many in the u.s. should be looking at it. we didn't hear president biden talk about that today but that's something they have to do. >> martha: absolutely. and we've heard former president trump essentially say if you don't pay her fair share than you are on your own. so we will see where that goes. then, they cure much greater heavy with us. >> the q. martha. >> martha: joining me now national security analyst and fox news contributor who has been to ukraine many chances the u.s. -- since the war began. could to have a bright. what is you're take away from what you heard? watch of doubt it you from news conference that just ended? >> printing this $50 billion from the g7 it is a historic agreement. it intensifies russia and assess a president for our international law can adjust to respect states -- state-sponsored aggression period it's clear from the soldiers in the trenches on the ground they need support more than ever. we as americans are supposed to be the beacon of that international support and other countries tend to follow our lead which is exactly why we can't just walk away from them. ukrainian does significantly hurting for materials, manpower and money to defend their country. they have this underlying fear of going away. are we going to leave them like we did in afghanistan? you can take that from our previous actions what we did there in afghanistan whether your diplomat or businessman or he military and in ukraine these are the types of questions ukrainian leaders ask americans. so this continued commitment to them is important. the funds will come from interest accumulating from frozen russian assets which is key. they are getting about $3 billion in interest alone but they are not allowed to release these assets follow yet. they're still more work to do their. but it does mark a significant move in international sanctions from ukraine. i never felt like the previous sanctions against russia have been working. they need to face that reality and come up with more creative solutions. have over 6 to 16,000. lived in is 6 times the amount before the full scale war began. yet russian banks, the military-industrial complex have adopted. they've developed workarounds to evade it. they reallocate russian assets and its trends -- sends a strong message about violin these laws. >> martha: i want to put up a couple maps before everyone at home. the first is june 2023 and the next is the current map. may 2024. they are from the institute of the study of war. not a lot of movement between these 2. the red is the section that the russian offensive took over and there's not a lot of movement. president biden said recently that the goal is to get russia completely out of ukraine. when asked joan kirby about that he said yes, it means crimea cat all of it out of ukraine. that's on victory looks like. and a more timely manner would be great. a lot of people are dying and is worth. >> it is difficult as a. i think this are unfortunately will last for quite some time. ukraine has been extremely resilient that is a factor ukrainian people are fighting democracy for us. we need to do whatever we can to support them. we need to provide them with more weapons and more capabilities and support this long-term regional stability and security. at thank this financial support does that and also potentially helps create more diplomatic efforts to start and look for some peaceful resolutions to this conflict encouraging russia basically to may be engaging meaningful to may be stop as work. >> martha: we will sea. russia president vladimir putin seems pretty determined and you know better than anyone having spent time on the ground. thank you very much bright we will talk to you soon. be well. also breaking today a lot going on this afternoon, former president trump issued a direct rallying cry to republicans. you was back on capitol hill for the first time sister noy sixth really. less than 5 months to go until the election day. byron donald's congressman, he is on the list sec as potential vice presidential candidate with president trump. we will talk to about what the message was today, what was achieved will may come back. >> how is it being the former president?
