00:42.229 --> 00:45.540
Thank the .

01:09.080 --> 01:12.680
So a pleasure to see you all . I think

01:12.690 --> 01:15.519
the mood is good and yesterday , we

01:15.529 --> 01:18.900
took some very important decisions and

01:19.330 --> 01:22.400
I think we can pretend to be the city

01:22.410 --> 01:26.160
where the historical summit took place .

01:27.120 --> 01:29.180
Of course , I am looking forward for

01:29.190 --> 01:31.440
today's discussions and it will be very

01:31.449 --> 01:34.150
interesting to hear Zelinsky , the

01:34.160 --> 01:37.290
president of Ukraine . But I think in

01:37.300 --> 01:41.300
many regards yesterday's meetings was

01:41.309 --> 01:43.660
impressive behalf VIP

01:44.989 --> 01:48.160
defense investment pledge to present as

01:48.169 --> 01:49.959
a minimum . Instead of

01:51.709 --> 01:55.330
then we have Swedish memberships ,

01:55.339 --> 01:57.440
membership of Sweden , which is a

01:57.449 --> 02:00.620
matter of very near future

02:01.319 --> 02:03.699
and we have the inaugural meeting of

02:03.709 --> 02:06.279
Finland . And of course , we have a

02:06.290 --> 02:09.960
decision on Ukraine and I think this is

02:09.970 --> 02:13.130
the first time we set a very clear

02:13.139 --> 02:16.190
pathway for Ukraine towards .

02:17.600 --> 02:19.889
We have very clear preconditions

02:19.899 --> 02:23.270
without nap behalf Ukraine

02:23.429 --> 02:26.630
NATO Council , which will set

02:26.639 --> 02:29.710
institutional framework and

02:30.649 --> 02:34.259
the invitation then conditions will be

02:34.270 --> 02:37.740
met . So how we understand when

02:37.750 --> 02:40.720
conditions will be met ? Does it mean

02:41.440 --> 02:44.449
the war is over or reforms implemented ?

02:44.460 --> 02:46.500
For me , it's not a critical issue

02:46.509 --> 02:49.979
because anyway , Ukraine has to do a

02:50.009 --> 02:53.399
lot in order to implement necessary

02:53.410 --> 02:57.289
reforms . And this is a path to

02:57.300 --> 02:59.740
European Union too . So they have to

02:59.750 --> 03:03.330
implement reforms anyway . And

03:04.259 --> 03:07.369
I don't want to try to guess when

03:07.380 --> 03:09.158
Ukraine will become a member of

03:09.158 --> 03:13.050
European and maybe at the

03:13.059 --> 03:15.679
same time , maybe they will become

03:15.690 --> 03:17.857
members of the European Union . Sooner

03:17.857 --> 03:20.229
or later , this is not a critical issue .

03:20.240 --> 03:22.970
The most important issue for me is we

03:22.979 --> 03:26.509
have the decisions taken . We have VINO

03:26.520 --> 03:29.440
Summit as a success story and I am

03:29.449 --> 03:32.229
looking forward for a few of our

03:32.339 --> 03:33.339
discussions .

03:39.710 --> 03:40.279
He what

06:25.029 --> 06:26.029
something

06:29.140 --> 06:32.019
you know , this is the position of

06:32.029 --> 06:34.299
Ukraine . And probably you have to ask

06:34.309 --> 06:37.890
the president , I think that it was the

06:37.899 --> 06:40.049
maximum we could achieve yesterday

06:40.109 --> 06:42.290
because nobody is talking about the

06:42.299 --> 06:44.640
membership right now . We are talking

06:44.649 --> 06:46.809
about the membership as conditions

06:46.820 --> 06:47.820
allow

06:55.600 --> 06:58.640
your mind . I don't think so . It would

06:58.649 --> 07:01.160
be the wrong approach . I would never

07:01.170 --> 07:04.019
agree with such approach approach and

07:04.029 --> 07:06.519
we should not talk about the peace

07:06.529 --> 07:09.790
negotiations until the territory ,

07:10.149 --> 07:12.371
territorial integrity of Ukraine is not

07:12.371 --> 07:13.709
restored . Thank you .
