 It's Salami tactics taking away a bit of land to prevent the country from doing it. How will we deal with it? Okay, thank you. I'm security, and we had a meeting of my team right today on also matters of security guarantees, how to make it come faster. A lot depends on ourselves. Headquarters of the army, the M.O.D., the military. We have to be able to transfer our vision to all those policies and related negotiations. We are yet to send this information, this vision. I do understand lots of challenges around, but we still know that this is the most powerful option for us. We are not being invited there. This is nonsense, just without being too rude to those voicing this up. Yeah, there are some messages, but again, any of our partners, and even if yes, it would be really hard for me to understand how this could happen. Just thinking that he says that the special military operations objectives remain unchanged. To say that he doesn't want to change anything, he wants to go like, now what will happen is in NATO. I think it will bring huge risks. I think if a part of Ukraine is in NATO, you heard signals working on that, but the question is, will NATO countries fight for a bit of Ukraine remaining within clear status? Not entirely in NATO. We are a country, a part of which is in the Security Union of NATO, the UK, and the maritime component is under discussion, but again, we have to deliver things closer to the aisle. Thank you, Mr President. My question is, given the lack of breakthroughs on the front line and also, what about changing the military leadership, for example, removing Zalushnyi? Thank you. The strategy cannot and should not be changed because it's in our constitution about our territories. Politics can't change after careful consideration of the results of our understanding, as well as understanding of our further plans and steps. Please, Andrew, would you rise? Mr President, can you describe your position on negotiations when and under what direction we are in the future? The platform in Malta was quite good, with nearly 70 countries, we are going to have a meeting in the next segment on that, and we will be working to see that meetings have representatives from all the continents, including the global south. It doesn't matter. Political or geopolitical isolation of the Russian Federation will depend on that after the meeting, because we will finalize the last five points of the peace formula. The first five points were discussed by the security advisers to organize a summit of leaders. And when it happens, I'm sure we will have to do everything, even to focus on the story of Ukraine in Ukraine and the peace formula, I think, that was a recent visit to the United States, and we definitely see this direction, we see it has started to change. It's very important for us to see that the attention is being restored towards Ukraine, and the platform there will offer an opportunity for countries to reach on some fundamental things with which we will be working to prepare to send it in certain given format to representatives of the Russian Federation. When all the countries will unite around our country and send it to reputable leaders, we will send it to another party. And if it is ready to accept the document, any request from Russia for that, we don't see it in their actions, in their rhetoric, we have just brazen willing to kill. You said some words today about fortifications, been built, a range of experts respond what are ahead in mind, actually. Okay, Suspilne. Okay, Suspilne. The objective ones failed to reach the stated objectives on the battlefield, the ones that also our international partners expected from us. What is your point of the two allegations of conflict between you? Why would we help someone to provide, deliver the top guy in the army, top of the army headquarters? Yeah, there are questions there, but there is also the chief commander of the Russian Federation. What is going to happen or not, or maybe it won't happen at all. If we in Ukraine are ready to bring every day results, then we will be able to live. It's not about, you know, becoming a victim. Now, all the chief in the army is a big owner, and this is a big owner. It's, I'm not getting tired. It's not about him. It's about then some steps, and we need strong steps and strong results, that's it. This is my position. It's not about things personal. Just for a moment, you know. Whatever position or office you have. It is about responsibility for each result every day. Continue, how to help people in the front line. I do expect some very specific things on the battlefield. The strategy is understood and understandable. Because you have answers, 440,000, 230,000, 100,000, 300,000, you know, for a second, for a glimpse of an eye. I would even, you know, defend the civilians a bit. When do you understand, no, I've spoken on that multiple times. Salaries, reverberations, mobilization numbers, we need to understand a very simple math. One military serviceman equals 6 multiplied by 6, and I understand our task that we have. Me, myself, the government, it's not about personal things. All things personal, discussed with my wife. And Mr. President, the 24th channel greetings. We are all talking that this full-scale war, and there's a government that works for it, it's a victory, but everyone says differently, things differently about the victory. Someone says it's going to the borders of 1991. Others would say that there will be no, and so they remain possibly. So what do you understand under this word victory? What's your understanding of that? Now, personally, well, we don't have any person to defend our country in accordance to our constitution. I'm talking about all of our territory, including the occupied territory of Donbas and Crimean See, and this is during the war, and it's difficult. Someone would say, well, we are already here, like at certain positions, we're not getting occupied. And when you get to, well, the fact that you will return everything, like, sometimes in future with history, I'm kind of sceptic about this, because I think that we should keep fighting when this whole aggression started, I mean, charging by this year, you understand that this is, I mean, what would happen then, which security guarantees do we receive? Who will be a security guarantee that there will be retreat, the weaker it will be, coming from its leader inside their country, because that would be a demonstration of weakness, and we'll use this time, and with God's help, we'll have this chance. We're all fighting, we're all praying, we'll succeed, and it will be difficult. Federal Petrov-Spiegel, from Germany. The question from Germany, whenever we hear statements, like from the German government, Germany, headed by Chancellor Schultz, is second in terms of the global support. I'm talking about financial, military support, all together, and I want to express words of gratitude to this society, and to do what will be judged by people's steps, and not only by the words, currently, is helping very significantly. In respect of the decision, how it helps, how it helps to the region that is fighting on the daily basis for their life. Now, the Forbes, the chance to ask this question, Mr. President, I would like to go back to the interior aspects, and for that, I would like to go back to the words of Sergei Posnak, the interpreter in summer. The problem of exerting pressure on the businesses was not solved, but in fact, escalated. There were words like, we'll visit the offices of the businesses. So, the question, to what degree are you aware of all this situation, and if so, what is the situation? The person, was he, did he attend the meeting that we had? Well, in my understanding, yes, he attended. Well, it wouldn't be the case, I won't. I wouldn't say so, so that there would be no unsolved, you know, matters in order to, you know, to mediate any issues might have. We were very grateful, because they were, you know, taking phone calls, saying that there is a challenge, and we responded to that. So, we asked the MPs to vote for this law, and surely, you know, that there were no inspections, but this is the requirement of the body. Fiscal law enforcement whatsoever, and however the interpreters would like that. And only the representatives being registered in the Verkhovna, are they in any case thank you for the question. I will check why this law has been voted for, and then, but you have to understand me. I know there is a pressure by the taxation authorities, and maybe there are some irregular stabs. I don't need to understand, we have to act by the law. So, what I've told you, this is something I can do. I can't do anything more than that. Any other questions? Well, I'm open. Let's have Radio Swoboda close to the stage here. Mr. President, about the POWs, and located in Russia, the solvents of our POWs are there, and their relatives are coming on the streets. I think that this is regarding this challenge, and over 25 solvent civilians are currently detained in Russia. That's according to, he was detained in Crimea over two years ago. Then, Mr. Khiluk, our colleague, is also detained by Russians. So, what you are doing, what the authorities are doing, and can you tell that if this process has become more complicated compared to what made it more difficult, it would be, well, not ethical. So, if possible, indeed, you are right that the authorities are not communicating sufficiently. I will tell Boudhanov and Luminance to communicate more details due to reasons. Well, there are the reasons by the Russian Federation that there's a significant amount of our people, so that we would be able to return them. We've got help from the Ukrainian children. The children, but still we have a gradual return of Ukrainian children. We get support from Qatar in this track. As for in Palestine, Israel to Qatar, they helped to return our people. As for the population of Crimea, the citizens were to say thank to international organizations, because they haven't done a lot in terms of that. I talked to President Erdogan on that, and he detained me on the territory of Crimea. I guess there's all these tracks that we have. We work separately with countries and our citizens. We still have a track when we have an exchange of POWs in between of the military and the accumulation of enemy resources. We exchange them to Ukrainian soldiers. Currently these are only tracks available to us, but still we are working to hopefully return to that. Hopefully our distract will work out. We're talking about military or civilians. We're talking about the military. Thank you. It doesn't turn out to happen as planned. What are the realistic goals that you're hoping to achieve and how to achieve them for the year to come? The goals. We had complications in the south, because everyone were talking about it. Everyone were discussing in details how we'll get there and how we'll do that, whether we'll have sufficient aspects of that or in that it's better to go to the Russian Federation. It shouldn't play like that, because Russian Federation still have more weapons. So I can't enter France, because I cannot tell you any details pertaining to our counter-offensive and defensive operations here. Next. Mr. President, greetings. Thank you for the chance to ask this question. We know that the legislators are currently working to draft law on mobilization. The society is actually aware of those, but still the question is as follows. These decisions, well, could be providing for the mobilization. We'll sign. We'll be approved by the Verkhovna Rada with norms like that. Well, as for the women, no, I'm not going to sign this. As for the women, it's not necessary that I will agree to that. Next. Sena in Portugal, please. President Zelensky, Lenalins from Sena in Portugal. I hear you talking a lot about unity today. Are you afraid that Ukrainians are supporting you as a president? That's my first question. And my second question, you were supposed to visit Portugal. At least that was the plan to... We don't remember who it was. Yes, there are plans for that. I don't remember Portugal, the government of the country, the president. We did quite a good job also diplomatically. It all depends. Our unity depends on us ourselves. This is our weapon of choice. The domestically made one decree from the beginning of the war. Maybe it sounds banal to someone, but to have the ultimate banality of life with us. So I think everything needs to be done to see that the unity is not dwindling in Ukraine. I can only... It has been an honor for me to be the president. People are watching me, my work, my serving Ukraine. If they don't like it, then okay. General, Mr. President, you've mentioned the challenging situation in the U.S. and what Grosso-Russia has been doing. What is your munitions and weapons? And also, you know, we talked to the military before this press conference, and the military is making the production of drones, FPV-1s and munitions for them here in Ukraine. Also, what is your stance towards the U.S. on drone production and special units for that? There should be an infrastructure and structures to manage drones of the headquarters at the moment. And one of the questions was about drones and how to supply them. It's really bad when we had 20,000 drones sitting in a warehouse, and for some reason they could not get it to the front line. Yes, the... But my personal... I don't have any personal things on that, but we do need to fight this logistics, and we need to start building the drones next year. We will do that, and we will do everything to have this happen regarding artillery. We will be building the drones for them, and the shells are a huge deficit. It's easier with systems, but with shells themselves. Because of powder, the defense industry forum was quite a success. Andrei and my team, Kameshchen, Umarov, representatives of our military, are clear about telling that some of the leading world companies, those making... those producing... meetings... the chair by the head of my office was there, then I paid my visit there, to meet leaders of those companies myself. We will do that, but it will take... About difficult things, lack of ammunition, lack of successes on the front, the blockade on the border between Poland and Ukraine, but may I have a Twitter account? It was about Ukrainian civilian plane taking off from Borispor Airport, and actually I read somewhere that Borispor Airport is looking for soon. Sorry for that question, but this is really interesting. I'm not at all. I'm not at all. Artlet wants to know more. Where did the plane, the technical flights came to? Where did they go? He read it from your Twitter account, Andrei. Okay. You had something different. I think that the question is not about that, but when Borispor will be able to handle more. Mom is, you know, our sacred beings. Now, Borispor is like the Black Sea. A victory of the Ukrainian aerial defence. A clear sign that Ukraine has been winning. It's a serious, strong economic move ahead. Exactly. So please tell your mom, let her stay in good health. We are working over her idea to come out here. Mr President, my question is about the Americans. Fox News has recently published the numbers of those supporting Ukraine. To tell that it grew in December, did you mention it on your trip to the U.S. when talking to military manufacturers? Visit to the United States of America? Brought exactly this result, bringing up the number of people supporting. Contacted our colleagues at the Congress, in the White House, and all shared the vision that, obviously, it was the ... So yeah, I think the visit was the right one. We had the number of meetings, public meetings, and not so public and dialogues actually asked us to work with the U.S. government to avoid additional extra red tape, particularly on lies, to presidential level in the White House, and the President promised to work on that. We have 12 minutes to go, and we are to close at 8. You talked about the support of the United States and the European Union. You were recently in Argentina, now with the Global South, and I also wanted to ask you about the Spanish presidency of the Council of the European Union. Thanks a lot. He's a nice guy. He helped the Spanish presidency as well. They helped a lot to Ukraine. And before the next morning's session to de-blocate the 50 billion facility, we have very strong relations. We have signal time in calling me directly to know what kind of support we need. I was completely impressed with our meeting in Granada, which brought a lot on that. It was a very quick, fast-paced reaction, and I'm extremely thankful to you for that. I'm sorry, I forgot the first part of your question, because I just wanted to visit Argentina, by the way. That was where we met, and I'm very grateful for that. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. And by the way, that was where we met the King of Spain, by the way. It's a little of Latin America in the modern history of Ukraine. We also have a lot to be desired in the economic heritage, because of Russia, that affected the Peace Forum on the Forum, the economics relations, the support of the ordinary personalities, President Mele, who came to power in Argentina, I think it's really a great reflection. He spoke in the parliament of the country about his total support of Ukraine, and his not acceptance of Putin's policy. And I think that's one of the reasons of my Argentina event with President of Ecuador. We've secured support from Paraguay, Uruguay, Orban. Orban, he is not from Latin America. Well, there was an European... Yeah, so we had... Welcome back. Espresso TV, please. Good evening. Thank you for... Er... Er... ... ... ...here and abroad. If I'm right to remember about four million of the Ukrainians left... ... ... ... ...what options do we have to bring those people back into Ukraine? Are there any government programs and IDP? Where are you from? I'm from the town of Shestia, Luhansk, Omsk. So IDP is internal once... ...here... ...as regards to assistance to IDPs. There won't be any reduction of them. Because of the... ... We will fund us everything by the end of the year and for the next year we will have a clear understanding of all our calculus and that. ... On business development and so on. This is what the economic team will have to work on. We will have it. They all are citizens, nationals of Ukraine and we have to defend all of them protect all of them, I think the majority of them will come back as soon as they become employed there, they have their kids sent to schools there, so maybe they've settled with their lives there, but they will come. The next factor the European countries, the U.S. will continue supporting those of us who are in dire circumstances. You know, those who are of some sort, it is nothing to say about the internal ADPs, the situation will be stable. Air defense, citizenship, we will become a new member country, historical, in this historical people's citizenship, I had mentioned in the program, and actually there are 60 million Ukrainians worldwide, but all of them have to live here. They have families there, some of them will have to open their businesses here to pay taxes here, they won't, definitely it will work for the benefits of Ukraine. And we shouldn't be too fast with it, because there are things and factors pertinent to multiple citizenship. I have at least women employment about new life opportunities, I'd like them to hear please do not hastily renounce your citizenship here, this is important, we cannot move the matter. Dear colleagues, we can feel two more questions before the end of it. The other tracks that she's doing, she particularly paid attention to mental health, to psychological resilience, she made this a priority during the summit of first, who are currently asking how to cope with this mental aspect during the war, and any kind of summaries for your own family, for any other family in Ukraine. We understand that we have a possibility to leave to work and to serve Ukraine, and we have a possibility yet that you are together, because if the soldier is on the front line and his wife or girlfriend is in Kiev or any other city of heathens is here, I'm not saying anything to those women who left Ukraine, I still believe that they offer this moral help, in the way she can, well through this program of mental health, and just recently there was another program for other support, and now thousands of children are receiving hot meals at schools in those areas affected by the hostilities while children, well, my son is a schoolboy, sometimes he's, you know, joining of line call classes, they've made their personal choice, and they're making their personal contribution just as any other family would like to thank all of you who are staying here in Ukraine, the country is alive, there's people on the street, no time, but since I've already announced one more question from Envy, please raise yourself and ask your question greetings, made a number of accusations towards the Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhne saying that he failed to provide with any plan for whether provision, and is that correct that what Bezov Lacha said that there were no plan provided, is all those others that I've appointed or those who came with me, well, and I'm thankful to some, and I'm not dealing with that, I'm sorry, I don't have time, I don't have, you know, the time, the dialogues that bring no results, I use the social network as a platform, as a platform for fighting inside our country to tell some important things, some urgent things, or as communication matters, it's kind of, you know, it's difficult, they tend to like to command to, you know, hit likes on the Facebook, they tend to communicate a lot, you know, or like to give results to the country on the everyday basis. Okay, dear colleagues, this is the end of the press, goodbye.
