and one more thing, i am still convinced that we, ukraine, must continue to work with the us congress, and that senator lincy graham's bill, which has 82 co-authors from american senators, be voted on in congress, because 500% of not only oil, gas, and any other products that anyone buys, whether it's to india or other countries, anyone, from russia is taxed in exactly this way... with some kind of sanction duties, that's cool, and these are effective sanctions, and we need to achieve them, regardless of on temporary fluctuations in the price of oil in connection, for example, with today's, tomorrow's events in iran. despite the unfolding events in the middle east, trump's attention was and remains focused on the russian-ukrainian war, because on june 12 he publicly stated that he was not... satisfied with russia and ukraine

due to the failure to reach a peace agreement, he said this during a conversation with journalists: let's listen to what the 47th president of the united states of america says. i am very disappointed with russia, as well as ukraine, because it was possible to reach agreements. they are losing 5-6 thousand people a week, mostly soldiers, but also civilians. also, because cities are being shelled again with missiles, living in a house and thinking that a missile can hit your building, it is terrible, it must be terrible to live in such conditions, we will cope with this, but i am disappointed that this has not been done yet, well we are disappointed that so far trump, what has not been done yet, has done and in english it sounds even cooler, that's right, we are not so much disappointed, i would even say,

outraged, we expect from the united states, from us president trump more decisive actions. maybe this is following the scenario, as with iran, waiting, waiting, and then they hit and destroyed? well, not a bad scenario, but it should reach the russian federation, i think it will start much faster, if after all, the administration of us president trump will also start helping ukraine with more serious, high-precision long-range weapons, aviation, everything that we really can. defend ourselves more effectively, first, and second, there really should be a completely different pressure on russia, completely another, i mean, the reinforcements are not meant sanctions, economic, and all that there is, but there is one at the disposal of the united states of america, and definitely not to congratulate russia on russia day, it's still the same as congratulating the aggressor on aggressor day, it's a complete miscalculation, it was definitely the wrong way around on the part of the united states, we need to return to...

a real understanding of the situation and really crush, stop the war and stop the aggressor. the russian federation can be stopped through a strong position, through strong support ukraine and our allies. is there an equal sign when we say the united states of america, the equal sign trump equals the united states of america, or is the united states of america still a broader concept. a broader concept is exactly the support of the americans, this is the main thing that motivates both the previous and current administrations to support ukraine despite all possible nuances, but i worked there for more than one year as the consul general of ukraine, and i will tell you that well, they have built legislation that the president, as the supreme the commander-in-chief, like the head of the executive branch, by the way, of the united states, has extraordinary powers, like the us secretary of state, extremely serious powers, i've already said it, from passports for us citizens

to permits to sell or not sell weapons, this is a serious country, and in fact, this is a serious administration, the administration of the hawks, you need to be able to talk to them, you need to be able to work with them, and i am convinced that , firstly, it is in our interests, and secondly, we have no other chance and no other opportunities. pavlo palisa, the deputy, current deputy head of the ukrainian president's office, was in washington. and there he told the americans that next year putin wants to occupy all of ukrainian territory east of the dnieper, as well as capture odessa and mykolaiv to cut ukraine off from the black sea, i quote pavlo palisa. moscow is seeking to expand its influence in eastern ukraine, which includes seizing all of donetsk and luhansk regions in the fall, and then creating a buffer zone along the northern border with russia by the end of the year.

president zelensky also said about odessa two days ago, speaking at the ukraine southeast europe forum in odessa and warned moldova and romania that the russians could go to odessa, and then to moldova and romania, how likely is such a scenario, first, and second, how much russia currently has the resources, human and weapons resources, military resources to implement this. such scenarios, such plans of the russian federation existed back in 2014 , and i remember my first contacts, for example, with the head of the moldovan special services, they have it in them... it's called the security information service , and i provided him with exactly this information, and almost in this wording, only with specific operational details, which specific contingents in transnistria are arriving, which runways are being repaired, preparing for the invasion by aircraft, and so on, that is , all this has been known

since 2014, and i agree with those who say that such plans remain in russia, but now this is no longer enough, especially in washington they have... worse special services than in ukraine, there are 17 of them there and they also have this information, and perhaps even more information, the question is different, how can and should we help us, our armed forces of ukraine, not to let any of these scenarios go ahead, come true. in the odessa direction, it is quite clear that more is needed on the coast of air defense, on the coast of systems for destroying the possible approach of the black sea fleet of russia. the federation, well, there are many other technical capabilities that are known and have been developed, we just need to fully implement them, and no matter what anyone says, i would in washington in the place of our leaders spoke very specifically, not so much about the plans of the russian federation, but about our

plans and what we lack, combat aviation, we have already talked about it, combat missiles covered the ukrainian combat aviation, this will definitely deter and definitely not allow russia to carry out any scenario either in the odessa direction or in any other. a few days ago, german defense minister boris pistorius visited kyiv, he said that germany is not considering the supply of long-range missiles taurus to ukraine, but during the press conference of zelensky pistorius, the president of ukraine said that ukraine and germany have agreed on additional investments in the production of long-range weapons on the territory of both countries. let's listen to what he said. ukraine. as for investments in production, we are talking about both production in ukraine and co-production on the territory of germany. when we talk about production, we are talking about our long-range capabilities,

these are our drones, ukrainian missile technologies, and other long-range capabilities. mr. valentina co-production, does this mean that we will have long-range missiles, something between taurus and ukrainian long-range missiles? we will also have long-range missiles, we do not tell the enemy a secret, we say that yes, ukraine is capable, we have our own specialists, what we partly lacked in the first years of the war, now with the help of european and german partners will be enough, let's say it carefully, this is the first, second, visit... of the german defense minister pistoris, i remind you, he remained in office from the previous government, olaf scholz, but now friedrich merz is the chancellor, and he was just in the us in washington, and he met with mr. trump. so he brought from the us president, including personal

messages for the leadership of ukraine. one of them is no longer secret, because the president declassified it, you noticed that he is reading it, by the way, and that is correct, because every word is checked there, so as not to say too much, well, we... we will not say too much, but we will explain a little, why did the president of ukraine read, because the production on the territory of ukraine using modern technologies, including german ones, of air defense systems and missiles, for example, for airisti, is something that had to be done yesterday, and thank god, today it was agreed upon, b) with funding found by the german side, at least small at the first stage, although it sounds like 1.9 billion euros, but this is actually a small amount in order to launch the production of our own missiles in ukraine, but b, using modern high-precision technologies that are at the disposal of three countries: great britain, germany, the usa.

that is, as of the end of the 25th year, ukraine will obviously already have long-range missiles, you know, i am not a corrective optimist, i believe that by the end of june they should be gone. and again, without revealing any secrets, i emphasize that all the possibilities, and most importantly, our specialists are loaded, the main thing is to protect against possible russian strikes. russian terrorist missiles and shaheeds, i will never name any place, any location, but i will say that ukrainian specialists have developed it, we just need to give them the opportunity to deliver it to the armed forces of ukraine faster. at the very end of our conversation, i would like to ask you about the president of serbia, aleksandar vučić, who was at this forum that i mentioned, ukraine - south-eastern europe in odessa, and there were leaders of the countries of south-eastern europe, i.e. neighbors and not only our neighbors, and he did not sign

a declaration following the summit, which condemns russia's aggression against ukraine and calls for additional sanctions. let's listen to what he said vučić. i am the only one who did not sign the declaration, unlike those who are ready to accept everything that is directed against russia, everything. that is possible. serbia defends the interests of international public law, always guided by its own interests. i am proud of the policy of serbia, our independence, our autonomy, and we will continue to do so. that is, vučić defends, as he said, the interests of international public law, which was destroyed by the russian federation, and says: we are leaving exclusively. this, i think, is a set of words, and in fact the president of serbia

said this for domestic political use, because he himself has huge problems, and the demonstrations in serbia will be crushed sooner or later, and he is under a huge threat from the authorities. this is what is actually happening in serbia, and in order for him to sign and sign such declarations, in my opinion, he needs to be brought here to sofia in kiev and shown how the christian shrine is being bombed by the same russia that he cares about so much along with public law, and i am convinced that he will sign it in sofia in kiev. such a declaration, but this is already a question, you know, more theoretical, we need to more seriously, by the way, with the orthodoxy of the western world, including serbia, look for opportunities to condemn such, such terrorism by russia against christian holy places in ukraine, and secondly, we really need to go with an international lawsuit within the framework of international law against russia and the russian church, which justifies russian aggression, justifies

missile strikes on us at orthodox churches. here is a normal, adequate answer, i believe, this is what vuchiceva should do, and most importantly , the russian church, which justifies aggression. thank you, mr. valentin, for the conversation, this was valentyn nalyvaichenko, a people's deputy of ukraine, former head of the security service of ukraine. friends, after a short story, we will return to the studio, we will have a guest. hello viktor boberenko, and now watch the story about civil-military cooperation of the armed forces of ukraine, this is an extremely important task during the war, these soldiers accompany the families of the fallen and missing, contact the local population and help the wounded, how this team works during the war in our stories. this is a kind of bridge between the military and civilians. serhiy with the call sign pastor, an employee of the civil-military cooperation service of the armed forces of ukraine.

are waiting for the inclusion of a political expert from sumy viktor boberenko, we are meeting with him. to talk about what the situation is now in the sumy direction, in the sumy region itself, what this situation looks like from the point of view of a person who lives in sumy, it is literally 30 km from the russian-ukrainian border towards kurshchyna, that is, suzh, and this direction, which is in the direction of khotin yunakivka, you obviously have heard about these villages and these villages are mentioned in the report of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. zelensky, after the report of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine oleksandr syrsky , stated that ukrainian defenders are gradually pushing out russian forces in the sumy region. our units

in the sumy region are gradually pushing back the occupier - the head of state said. this is very important information, given the latest events and the latest reports that came from the sumy region, from the direction that i'm judging, and it's very important to understand that those reports that were at the beginning of the week, which indicated that parts of russian units or separate sabotage and reconnaissance groups that came in. somewhere in the area of ​​the village of khotyn, which in a straight line from these points to sumy, to the city of sumy, to the regional center, there were 22 km left. and this supposedly allowed the russians to use fpv drones and strike at the regional center. so, judging by the information that

was made public by zelensky, ukrainian defenders are gradually pushing out russian forces in the sumy region, that is, you see a part of the sumy region where the russians have already entered, now they are being driven back to the territory of the kurdish region. the head of the center for countering disinformation , andriy kovalenko, also reported on the active opposition of the defense forces to the occupiers in the sumy region. he, in particular, reported that in the sumy region, despite the inflated statements of russian military intelligence officers, in fact manages to stop and in places throw back the assault groups of the russians, that is, in fact , andriy kovalenko... confirmed the words and, let's say, expanded the words of volodymyr zelensky about the fact that the russians are gradually being pushed out towards

the kursk region or the kursk region. how this will all develop further, and most importantly, in what way it will all develop, will obviously be reported by the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. it is important for us to understand. and actually not only for us, but also for the residents first of all sumy region, what should be the algorithm of actions, if the russians renew their attacks on the sumy region, i can only say that i know this sumy region very well, i was born and raised there, and many of my relatives and friends are now staying there between russia, between the border... with russia and the city of sumy, and my relatives are telling me about what is actually happening

in this very place, which is between the regional center and the russians who are going to the city, so i would still like us to clearly understand, what, what, what can the russians do next, are they just... uh, making detour maneuvers in the sumy region, or will they focus their strikes somewhere towards the kharkiv region and the city of kharkiv, we know that for the last few weeks kharkiv has been under heavy fire, night fire, drones, and also missile strikes, and we see how the russians are mercilessly trying to destroy the city that they... once called the city where russian-speaking kharkiv residents live, whom they are ready to come and protect, so for us

in the current situation, everything is important information that concerns the plans of the russian federation, because during this week there was a lot of information that the russians will advance on odessa towards moldova and romania, and do everything to create conditions under which part of ukraine, south-eastern ukraine was under the control of the russian federation, and in this way, the russians want to deprive ukraine of access to the black sea, nevertheless, the russians are trying to create conditions under which, under which... the ukrainians will not be able to attack the black sea fleet and actually

the ships that were previously in the bays of sevastopol and generally near the crimean peninsula, you know that they withdrew to novorossiysk and the ukrainian armed forces did their utmost to ensure that the russians were not there, so... they are still trying to implement their old plan, and as the former head of the security service of ukraine, valentyn nalyvaichenko, said on my broadcast just now, since 2014 the russians have been trying to break through to odessa and create this land corridor, which would actually cut off a large part of ukraine from the black sea, from the exit to the black sea, although everything that russia is doing and the plans that are there are, in one way or another, directed not only against ukraine, but also against

a nato country, because... just the other day, the head of the federal intelligence service of germany, bruno kahl, said in an interview with the german publication table briefings that russia plans to check the effectiveness of article 5 of the north atlantic treaty organization charter, which bruno kahl himself said. we are absolutely sure and have intelligence evidence to confirm that... ukraine is only one stage on its way to the west, this does not mean that we expect tank armies to move west, but we see that the promise of nato's collective defense will be tested, when this promise will be tested, whether the fifth article of the nato charter will be tested, is unknown, there are different

versions. about this, someone says about the summer-autumn of 2025, someone says that over the next five years, but western europe and the members of the north atlantic alliance are preparing for a possible russian offensive, in the north atlantic alliance says that to prepare for a possible russian attack, they need... 3-5 years, exactly the time that will allow nato members to significantly increase their capabilities for war with russia, that is, for containing the russians on the eastern border, hearings are to be held in gaza on june 24-25 and there will obviously be some

decisions. between the leaders of the countries that are part of the north atlantic alliance, there is talk of increasing the financing of military programs by western european countries and increasing their contributions to the north atlantic budget alliance, ee donald trump, coming to power in the united states of america, declared that these countries should increase the percentage of deductions from gdp, that is, now there are two 2.5% of gdp, which are deducted by the countries of western europe, trump insisted that these deductions be at the level of 5%, as the united states does, the united states of america, and of course, now for europeans, the issue of security, obviously, this

issue... one of the most important and obviously the countries that are members of the north atlantic alliance will be forced to increase deductions to the nato defense budget, if not 5%, then at least 3.5% of the gross domestic product, and one more thing, i can't help but mention this week, friends, that... zelensky in an interview with the hungarian portal valashonlight said that ukraine decided to make public the story of the exposed hungarian agent in transcarpathia in order to make it clear that it has this information. earlier , ukraine said that a whole network was operating in ukraine in transcarpathia, which worked for the hungarian military

intelligence. what does it say president zelensky? budapest has tried to interfere in the internal affairs of ukraine dozens of times in different ways. why did we make this situation public? we have additional photos and videos of various meetings organized by hungarian military intelligence. and we will also make them public. if necessary. i don’t want to scare anyone, but we really see everything. and how hungarian military intelligence paid its agent is all documented. actually, this whole story about the actions of hungarian military intelligence on the territory of ukraine states is a fairly important argument in discussions with the current leadership of hungary, because three days ago in
