National Defence committee  First, you will know that recently we signed a defence co-operation arrangement, and we are working hard in this direction. There are a few new things I want to share. At the moment, at the preparation level, the new draft law, which will be introduced in our parliament, I thin

National Defence committee  Yes, I will be very short. Here is just one concrete example about what a ceasefire means. Life on the front line for common people is very hard. For example, my biggest result of the last two years is that in some five-storey buildings, I provided water to the fifth floor. For

National Defence committee  I would just take 10 seconds to add to the question Mr. Bezan asked. We need to take into account not only the current size of the Ukrainian army but also that in the first line of reserve we have several hundred thousand people who have passed the front line and have battle ex

National Defence committee  Truthfully, at the moment there is no progress. Let's be fair. Our idea is as follows: Ukraine is a very reliable nation, not only from the military point of view. Let's look at the result of a visa-free regime with the European Union, because many skeptics thought Ukrainians w

National Defence committee  Thank you very much. First of all, it's great. Thank you for not just supporting in communiqués or in messages, but for real support on the ground. Operation Unifier is now one of the best examples of something that is really helping the Ukrainian army in different ways. Now we

National Defence committee  Thank you very much for the question. I will try to be very short. For the first one, about the things you also mentioned, which Yurii mentioned about Europe, when we are speaking about our fight with Russia—not a Ukrainian fight, but I mean the free world fight—please calculat

National Defence committee  Now we are in very good talks with the Moldova government about it. Yesterday, a representative of our delegation met with the foreign minister of Moldova regarding this issue.

National Defence committee  When we are speaking about a combination, such as a sea attack and using Transnistria, they are thinking about it. We even have some cases of the Russians trying to prove to us that the sea boundaries are not protected, because they intercepted and tried to see what was going on.

National Defence committee  You know, sometimes I don't understand the European reaction, because now Russia has Iskanders in Kaliningrad oblast. You know what Iskanders mean? If I'm not mistaken, they can carry a nuclear weapon.

National Defence committee  Yes, and that region is inside the heart of Europe. They can reach almost all the European capitals now with nuclear missiles.

National Defence committee  Tactical, but still nuclear missiles. The second point is that when we're speaking about militarization, they not only put in additional forces, but they are also trying to construct additional military fortifications and additional military installations. They have put high-te

National Defence committee  In the Ukraine we are the big operators, because I am the power, the presidential faction, and Yurii represents the right opposition, but here we are one voice. Unfortunately, we understand that at the moment Ukraine is not fighting just for Ukrainian soil and families. We are on

National Defence committee  First, it's really a threat. You know that two years ago there was a real attempt to install in Odessa a plot, with plans to move forces from the Transnistria end to the so-called Odessa People's Republic, as was done in Donbass and Donetsk and Luhansk oblast. Fortunately our sp

National Defence committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. For us it's a great honour to be present for the second time for a meeting with your committee. I really appreciate it. Today I will speak very briefly and very precisely about some concrete facts we want to share with you. At the moment, unfortu
