Of the topics of discussion during the visit of our minister of defense a week ago, what will be our plans for this year for the training of ukrainian troops, but i think it is right that now there is a discussion about how we can more to support, there are different ideas, now we are in a tight spot contacts with our. Partners from france, but i think there is, for example, a very urgent issue, which is the supply of longrange missiles. Great britain leads the coalition on ballistic missiles, we also lead the coalition on drones, and i think its good that now in Europe Countries are ready to discuss new ideas about this, but if we talk about longrange missiles, now we also see that there is a discussion about what to do with the missile system, it takes place every day, both in the bundestag and in the negotiations currently held by the leaders of france, germany and poland, it arises, but there was an idea to Exchange Taurus missiles for storm. How realistic is it , do you think, can you agree on this with berlin, yeah, well, its a technical issue, and these technical aspects are being considered now, but you know, Great Britain was the first country to supply longrange missiles to ukraine, and the zdsu has shown that he, that they use this. Weapon, this technique very effectively, and france as well, because stom shadow and scalp is like a joint project between france and Great Britain, so i think that now, these are important questions that and in the coalition, we will discuss this issue not only with the germans, but also with the french, with the americans, how to supply such missiles to ukraine. But you know, as far as space is concerned, its also a matter of drones, and ryshisunak, when he was in kyiv, as part of the new package, he highlighted 200 Million Pounds, its the biggest package to fund drones in ukraine, but he. When grand shaps, our minister of defense, came, just two months after that, he emphasized that we will increase this package to 3025 Million Pounds sterling, then i think it is with the development of drone production. And in Great Britain, and in ukraine, and due to the supply of longrange missiles, ukraine should have a strong position in the air space, and it is possible to realize more achievements, because , mr. Vitalyu, in my opinion, a very big achievement last year, it was ee. The opening of the black sea ports, and it was due to the success of the zdsu, against the russian fleet, and i think that there are. And prospects for this in this year, in this year, and why is there a different attitude to the consequences, why the Great Britain is not afraid of any russian reaction in connection with the use of longrange missiles, in germany it causes such serious political remarks, in particular from the federal chancellor . Well, i can only answer as the ambassador of Great Britain. And you know, there is, there is a certain trend, because, as i said, we were, we, we were, the first country to supply, antitank missiles of a new generation, and then battle tanks, this is the challenge, i then it was stormshadow , and we, our partners, they, used the british model, uh, also what as far as departures in the security sphere are concerned, this is a process, this is a discussion, but i can also say that germany has significantly increased aid and support for the zdsu, as well as for ukraine. And tell me, mr. Ambassador, i notice that now the ambassadors of ukraines allied states, i would say, are somewhat wary of domestic political processes. There was a meeting of ambassadors of the group of seven with ukrainian journalists regarding the situation of freedom of speech, you and i met there, then you and your colleagues met about the same about the head of the Security Service of ukraine , well, we didnt meet there, but we met with the head of the Security Service, well, i dont remember , i wasnt there, thats how such a meeting was, after a meeting with journalists, whats the point of such. Uh, i would say, try to understand this domestic political situation, is there really such a concern that there are some problems with freedom of speech in ukraine, that this story with my colleagues from beerusinfo is so serious, so serious a challenge . Uhu, well, i think that we all support, support ukraine as a democratic country, i think that this is. The position of ukraine, that this is a struggle, this is a struggle for values, this, and now, you know, uh, ukraine is at the forefront of the democrats, and this is ukraine, which protects europe and protects , protects the values of europe, then in my opinion, and this is now and is a very important issue for. For ukraine, for ukrainians, er, and, er, er, victory in the combat event and the development of Democratic Institutions here in ukraine. You know, i was pasls deputy, 20 years ago, during the orange revolution, that i returned to ukraine after 15 years. And i very impressed with the progress. For example, these are decentralization reforms, these are very powerful Civil Societies in ukraine, and i think that the internal affairs of ukraine are internal affairs, but due to the fact that ukraine will be a member of nato, it is a democratic alliance, and it is also on the way to the eu , is a Democratic Club of states. It is also very important for ukraine, and all the more so because it is very important for the defense of ukraine, so i know that the enemy is using all opportunities inside the country to fight against the sovereignty of ukraine, and also democratic development. Solid Democratic Institutions, it is also very important for the protection of ukraine, for the protection of europe. By the way, about shaking up the situation, about all these narratives, we see that now this new topic is emerging, which is being actively used, this is the topic of the current president s powers emerging, and the elections in connection with the martial law in ukraine of course, it cannot be carried out, and there is a whole series of speculations on this matter, and how it turns out. From this situation, when ukrainians, lets say, are sure that the president should continue his powers and that the elections cannot happen now, and in response we even hear measures, saying that then you will be an undemocratic state. Well, i think that the legislation is very clear here there should be no speculation about this, because it should not be the legislation of ukraine, there should not be elections during martial law, i think that what is now and this was very important from the start of a fullscale invasion. This is the unity of the ukrainian people, the unity of ukraine. And i think that vorok wants ukraine not to be one people. You can also say that, and this is mine it was my impression, returning, after 15 years, that, ah, this is the only one. The unity of the ukrainian people, and this will also be a very important element in the defense of ukraine. If we talk in principle about the development of relations with nonallies at this stage, what do you think is the main thing for the ukrainian authorities from the point of view of developing these relations, military cooperation, economic reforms, reforms in the field of democracy, supported institutions, what . Should be the most important, you know, i think right now is a very important moment for ukraine, because frankly, the 15th years ago, few people in the west understood that this is ukraine and that this is the ukrainian people, but now, well, i was, for example, i was in. The shetland islands, this is the extreme north of scotland, there is a flag of ukraine, and there is a lot of well, all the people in Great Britain now, they know ukraine, they know personally, many of them know ukrainians personally, and i think this is a very Good Foundation for development. Relations between ukraine and Great Britain. Our Prime Minister shisunak, he spoke of our unbreakable alliance, but he also said that the base this is why we have to create centuriesold partnerships between our countries. There are very close contacts now in the field of security, but also in the countries. Education, economy, culture, we all have a chance now to create a very powerful relationship between people, between businesses, so i think that this opens a new perspective for relations between ukraine and European Countries, does it exist now in Great Britain, as well as in other European Countries countries fear that the United States. Will lose its role as the leader of the western world, at least in terms of perspective militarypolitical support in the event that there is a real change of power in the United States, which will be a real change of course, how much can europe protect itself from threats . Well, i think thats right, that europe has more work for security in europe, and now there is a certain trend of increasing the loss of. Defense among European Countries, but i think that also i have worked with various administrations of the United States, and during the last 10 years, we can see a certain trend, that is, they have strengthened their position in relation to russia, as i. Said, i i think that there is an answer to the fact that the one that requires more contribution from the europeans is the accession of ukraine to nato, but here the question always arises, how ready are the allies for this accession, yes, we see that there are different positions, they are different in the United States , different in Great Britain, different in germany and france, there is no unity as such, well , i think that uh. Well, there is now a discussion about this, but i emphasize the trend, and the trend is positive, you are not. What is the situation in the alliance itself, when there are countries among nato members, i would say, with a different position, not from the majority of the allies, but we are now seeing discussions regarding the election of the nato secretary general , and hungary has a different position than that of the United States and other European Countries, and we may have to look for a new candidate, as far as we can say in principle now about euroatlantic solidarity in the conditions when the member countries of nato have such different attitudes to their own security, you know, nato, as i said, is a democratic alliance, and all nato affairs are decided democratically, so it is natural that there should be a discussion between countries, about this issue, but definitely now. Nato is stronger, well, for example, after the accession of sweden and finland, also not simple, not simple, not simple, through the democratic process of ratification in the parliaments, but the completed process, with success, tell me, mr. Ambassador , but regarding the continuity of policy, we we talk a lot about support for ukraine, and we see that when governments change, changes in European Countries. The politics of politics, that was the case in slovakia, for example, the current head of the government of slovakia looks at support for ukraine differently than his predecessor, if the government changes in your country, where are the safeguards that will change policy in relation to the unions . Well, uh, i cant comment on whether there will be a change in the uk government or not, but i can say that there is a. Full consensus in the parliament on support for ukraine, after his visit, the decision was in the parliament to leave the issues Security Agreement that he signed with president zelenskyi, and all the leaders of all factions, all parties, they spoke about this agreement, then in Great Britain there is now a full consensus regarding the policy of Great Britain to support ukraine and support the victory of ukraine. You mentioned the ukrainian flag on the shetland islands, but i still want to understand how much the public mood has changed in general over the past two years, whether British Society is not tired of this endless war and without the need to help ukraine. In conditions where your Economic Situation is not ideal either, no, no, the latest survey shows that there remains a very high rating regarding ukraine, i think that more than 8080 of british people support ukraine and this position, and this practically does not change from year to year. How do you assess the situation with ukrainians . Citizens who arrived in your country in the first months after the war, can we talk about a certain adaptation to the situation, can we talk about tendencies to return to ukraine, what does the situation look like now, well, i am here for the post , i met with them in edinburgh this is my hometown, and there ukraine has consulates, consulates general, mr. Consul. Arranged a meeting with the members for me communities, including those ukrainians who came after the fullscale invasion, and they also said that, first of all, they had a very warm welcome when they came to scotland, to Great Britain, and they were also very lucky for. This, but they said that in order to return, you need security, and education for the children, uh, and employment, and i think its interesting, because one of them, i just met here in kyiv, there is a certain process, and there are others who remain there in scotland, and by the way, not recently, it was well, in february, i visited my school in edinburgh and met with ukrainian students there. Who now live there and teach and study there and they adapted very quickly to the Education System in scotland and i think it should be a very useful experience for them when they will be here in ukraine. And it also shows that now there are many new connections between people, between our peoples, so i think that they can be ambassadors for ukraine, now in scotland, and can be ambassadors for us when they return, the ambassador of ukraine in scotland this is an interesting opinion, because i, too , think all the time what ukraine should do for its own. Promotions in the world and in europe , so what do you speak in ukrainian, you can say that from the first generations of diplomats represented in kyiv speak ukrainian, well, this is such an obvious fact, because earlier, when specialists came, very often from former embassies in the soviet union or at the embassy in russia, they were russianspeaking, and for european societies, ukraine was perceived as a continuation of some russian civilization, and but now the question arises, how to prove to our neighbors on the continent. That this is an independent cultural political organism , and not a coincidence, well, i think that the process of ideas, and by the way, i was just on the phone with my mother, and it is in scotland, now in persia, it is not far from scotland, i was just for the play, the dnipro opera, because. They are now in Great Britain and they have shown, they are showing the cultures of ukraine now in Great Britain, so i think that now, unfortunately, it is because of the fullscale invasion, but ukraine has become very famous in europe, and all the more so. In europe now they understand that ukraine is not russia, it is a separate people, it is the history of ukraine, it is a separate language, and i think that this is also an important moment for the promotion of ukrainian culture, and to create cultural links between our countries, and for us it is the responsibility of. The British Council, and the British Council is also very active now to create such links. We literally have 5 minutes left before the end of our conversation. I would like you to say what you would like to say maybe to our viewers about our further cooperation, about the development of the situation, about how they should generally perceive what is happening between ukraine and Great Britain . Well, i think that, uh. Now we are collecting our proposals for a oneyear partnership, and for me it was also interesting to have ideas from the ukrainian side as well, what is the best thing to do now and what should be the main priorities, it is education, it is financial services. Its lawyers, because lawyers are also a very important element of the uk, its a cultural thing, and its the economy, because you know, im sure economic recovery in ukraine, we should not wait for the situation after the victory, because economic recovery is now. Recently we opened a new Industrial Park in lviv, the formation of lviv for the development of small and mediumsized businesses in lviv, i was in dnipro, i was in cherkasy and in chernihiv, and i see that now there are many people who want to export. We can strengthen the relations between our people and the relations between our countries, but the restoration of the country is also very dependent on the guarantee of security, so that if we want investment, we have to convince our European Partners that they can safely invest in ukraine, yes, well, i think there is also a certain trend, and here i want to say about the role of British Companies in the restoration of the black sea corridor, this is an Insurance Campaign from london, which together with the government of ukraine have now provided very promising insurance for ships using the new corridor, there are still er. Opportunities for business, for exports, and we have to use it. We now know why these ships are more or less, so to speak, safely arrive at our ports . Yes, they are more confident, because now the russian fleet is dangerous even in sevastopol. Thank you, mr. Ambassador, for this conversation. Let me remind you that the guest of our broadcast today was the extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador. Of Great Britain in ukraine, mr. Martin harris and we discussed with him the situation with the ukrainianbritish partnership and its future prospects.
