WEBVTT 00:00.629 --> 00:02.462 OK , we have time for one or two 00:02.462 --> 00:05.280 questions , Reuters , Andrew Gray from 00:05.289 --> 00:07.400 Reuters . Uh a quick question just in 00:07.400 --> 00:09.511 case Secretary General , you have any 00:09.511 --> 00:11.622 information on a military object that 00:11.622 --> 00:13.511 was found in a forest in northern 00:13.511 --> 00:15.622 Poland , obviously NATO territory . I 00:15.622 --> 00:17.567 wonder if you've heard any initial 00:17.567 --> 00:19.567 reports about the cause of that and 00:19.567 --> 00:21.845 then more broadly , uh for both of you , 00:21.845 --> 00:24.011 do you do you believe that allies have 00:24.011 --> 00:25.845 done everything possible to give 00:25.845 --> 00:27.789 Ukraine a chance of success in its 00:27.789 --> 00:29.900 coming expected counter offensive and 00:29.900 --> 00:32.139 in particular , on ammunition , have 00:32.150 --> 00:35.060 allies dug deeply enough into their 00:35.069 --> 00:37.419 stocks as you would wish them to thank 00:37.430 --> 00:40.569 you have provided unprecedented 00:40.580 --> 00:44.470 military support to Ukraine , both 00:44.790 --> 00:47.279 equipment , weapon systems but also 00:47.409 --> 00:50.580 vast amounts of ammunitions . And we 00:50.590 --> 00:53.509 continue to do so . We have delivered 00:53.520 --> 00:55.979 modern air defense systems , advanced 00:55.990 --> 00:58.180 security systems . The United States 00:58.189 --> 01:01.509 has delivered high Mars and and 01:01.520 --> 01:04.699 now we have also delivered a 01:04.720 --> 01:08.480 high number , a big number of 01:08.489 --> 01:11.349 armored vehicles including battle tanks , 01:11.360 --> 01:14.110 infantry fighting vehicles and other 01:14.120 --> 01:17.389 types of combat vehicles . So in total , 01:17.400 --> 01:20.769 this gives the 01:21.080 --> 01:24.970 Ukrainians nine brigades 01:24.980 --> 01:27.830 which now are well trained , well 01:27.839 --> 01:31.360 equipped and well manned and this 01:31.370 --> 01:34.839 is what makes them , what 01:34.849 --> 01:37.071 provides them with the military support 01:37.071 --> 01:38.960 and the capabilities they need to 01:38.960 --> 01:41.970 retake more territory . Then of course , 01:41.980 --> 01:45.589 we should never underestimate Russia 01:46.269 --> 01:50.089 because what the Russian forces 01:50.459 --> 01:53.830 lack in quality , they try to make up 01:53.839 --> 01:56.830 in quantity . And we see that Russia 01:56.839 --> 02:00.489 continues to mobilize more personnel . 02:00.760 --> 02:02.816 We have seen around Mahmoud how they 02:02.816 --> 02:04.816 are willing to send in thousands of 02:04.816 --> 02:07.739 thousands of troops with very high cash 02:07.750 --> 02:10.630 rates . But of course , it continues to 02:10.949 --> 02:14.179 challenge also the Ukrainian troops . 02:14.380 --> 02:16.324 We have made it clear that we will 02:16.324 --> 02:18.690 continue to support . We will stand by 02:18.699 --> 02:21.220 Ukraine for as long as it takes . And 02:21.229 --> 02:23.451 at the summit , I also expect allies to 02:23.451 --> 02:25.490 agree a multi aid program . We will 02:25.500 --> 02:29.399 work on how to help Ukraine to 02:29.410 --> 02:33.279 move from , from Soviet standards , 02:33.289 --> 02:35.820 equipment doctrines to standards and 02:35.830 --> 02:38.000 doctrines and to ensure full 02:38.009 --> 02:40.979 interoperability with . So we will 02:40.990 --> 02:44.619 continue and we met just last 02:44.630 --> 02:46.741 week and discussed at the arms plan , 02:46.741 --> 02:48.949 specific requirements for how to 02:48.960 --> 02:51.182 continue to provide military support to 02:51.182 --> 02:52.182 Ukraine . 03:09.039 --> 03:10.095 Associated Press . 03:13.059 --> 03:15.115 Have a question for both of you mark 03:15.119 --> 03:17.175 from associated press . President Xi 03:17.240 --> 03:19.380 and President Zelinsky recently spoke 03:19.389 --> 03:21.679 on the phone . Do either of you want to 03:21.690 --> 03:24.309 see China mediating peace talks ? 03:26.089 --> 03:29.130 It is for Ukraine to decide what are 03:29.139 --> 03:31.240 the conditions for talks and what 03:31.250 --> 03:34.360 formats any talks should have . 03:35.509 --> 03:37.750 What we know is that 03:39.429 --> 03:42.419 any likelihood , any possibility for 03:42.470 --> 03:45.589 meaningful negotiations requires that 03:45.600 --> 03:47.544 Ukraine has the necessary military 03:47.544 --> 03:50.039 strength to send a very clear message 03:50.050 --> 03:52.272 to President Putin that he will not win 03:52.272 --> 03:55.949 on the battlefield . So maybe this war 03:55.960 --> 03:59.240 will end at the negotiating table . But 03:59.250 --> 04:01.139 what we know is that what happens 04:01.139 --> 04:03.220 around at the negotiating table is 04:03.229 --> 04:05.429 inextricably linked to the strength on 04:05.440 --> 04:07.384 the battlefield . So if you want a 04:07.389 --> 04:10.210 peaceful negotiated solution where 04:10.220 --> 04:11.998 Ukraine prevails as a sovereign 04:11.998 --> 04:14.053 independent nation , the best way of 04:14.053 --> 04:16.109 getting there is to provide military 04:16.109 --> 04:18.380 support for Ukraine . Exactly as allies 04:18.390 --> 04:22.130 are doing . I welcome the call between 04:22.140 --> 04:25.100 President Zelinsky and President Xi . I 04:25.260 --> 04:27.829 think it's important also that China 04:27.839 --> 04:29.910 gets a better understanding of the 04:29.920 --> 04:32.570 Ukrainian perspectives . This doesn't 04:32.579 --> 04:35.799 change the fact that China has not been 04:35.809 --> 04:38.290 able to condemn Russia's illegal war , 04:38.299 --> 04:41.489 illegal invasion of Ukraine and NATO 04:41.500 --> 04:43.970 allies have expressed strong support to 04:44.309 --> 04:47.829 President Sky's peace plan which 04:47.839 --> 04:50.061 includes , of course , full respect for 04:50.061 --> 04:51.950 Ukraine's territorial integrity . 05:43.950 --> 05:44.950 A 07:00.010 --> 07:02.066 thank you very much . This concludes 07:02.066 --> 07:02.619 this press point . Thank you .
