[00:00:00] is ready to submit a bill that will simplify the transfer of state
[00:00:03] property for the residence of displaced persons, but I am unaware of
[00:00:06] these problems, but I am aware that millions of IDPs
[00:00:10] actually do not receive state support and are forced
[00:00:13] to rely solely on themselves. ARMA promised
[00:00:16] to transfer residential premises seized in favor of the state, all this
[00:00:20] remained exclusively in words: all
[00:00:23] assistance to displaced persons is only
[00:00:26] words. Dear colleagues, even 12 years ago...
[00:00:30] there should have been a clear policy regarding
[00:00:32] displaced persons, but even now there is none.
[00:00:36] I call on every people's deputy
[00:00:39] to personally join in solving the problems of
[00:00:56] faction will support this bill in the first reading and will
[00:01:00] work on it until the second reading, as there is still
[00:01:02] work to be done, many comments were made by my
[00:01:06] colleagues before this, and I also want to say that there are precedents and
[00:01:10] there are many cases when privatization
[00:01:13] takes place, to put it mildly, non-transparently,
[00:01:16] the ultimate, the ultimate beneficiary, the ultimate
[00:01:19] buyer of privatization objects has ties
[00:01:23] either with Russia or with sanctioned,
[00:01:26] sanctioned legal and natural persons. Or
[00:01:30] the final beneficiary is not traceable at all, he
[00:01:34] may be from the Russian Federation, as well as from other
[00:01:37] countries that are not friendly to Ukraine and that should not own
[00:01:41] property on the territory of Ukraine and should not participate in
[00:01:44] privatization, therefore, dear colleagues, we will submit amendments, we will
[00:01:48] support it in the first reading and until the second reading, I hope we will
[00:02:13] as a basis with the refinement of provisions,
[00:02:16] in accordance with part one of Article 116 of the Rules of Procedure of the Verkhovna Rada
[00:02:20] of Ukraine, the draft law on amendments to certain laws
[00:02:23] of Ukraine regarding the increase of the efficiency of privatization of state
[00:02:26] property, registration number 1601.
[00:03:14] Zhytomyr region, a man of peace, Rostyslav
[00:03:18] Oleksiyovych, I asked you a long time ago for the Ukrainian parliament
[00:03:21] to outline some red lines, and now I am also
[00:03:24] addressing you, please, for the next conciliation council,
[00:03:28] prepare a simple one-page document.
[00:03:30] which would be signed by the leaders of all factions and groups, to give a clear
[00:03:34] signal to both Ukrainians and the world that we do not
[00:03:36] trade our people and our territories,
[00:03:40] so that individual microorganisms have fewer opportunities
[00:03:44] to divide Ukraine, to divide people into parties of war and
[00:03:48] peace, Ukrainians every second risk their lives from
[00:03:51] shelling by rashists, we are all for peace, and from the procedure, not for
[00:03:55] capitulation, I ask that the parliament provide
[00:03:58] some official document. from all leaders of faction
[00:04:01] groups with all proposals, please support it, thank you, dear colleagues,
[00:04:05] look, I don't even have a second thought, because this
[00:04:09] is defined by the Constitution of Ukraine, this is defined by the oath of a people's deputy
[00:04:13] of Ukraine, and we constantly define this in our appeals of the Verkhovna
[00:04:17] Rada, which we broadcast everywhere, that for us it is clearly
[00:04:20] understood are those things on which Ukrainian statehood is based,
[00:04:23] so I will convey this information, but I just say that we have already adopted such things
[00:04:35] Oleksiyovych, colleagues, I would actually like to raise the issue of
[00:04:38] inviting the Prime Minister to the parliament hall, because for various
[00:04:42] reasons and even for objective reasons, the parliament cannot
[00:04:46] talk to the government against the background of what we
[00:04:49] are now realizing, what draft budget for
[00:04:52] 20-27 has been submitted, to ask
[00:04:55] the Prime Minister whether he believes that salaries
[00:04:59] in the rear should be higher than those of servicemen, that
[00:05:02] the budget of the occupied territories should be financed,
[00:05:06] that it should be financed, I understand your proposal, to invite
[00:05:45] Buzhansky, and let's move on, please, from
[00:05:47] the procedure,
[00:05:50] dear Yaroslav Oleksiyovych, I see that Vice Speaker
[00:05:53] Olena Kostivna Kondratiuk
[00:05:56] has suddenly left, I wanted
[00:05:59] to ask you, did she just get bored, or did something
[00:06:02] more important than a Verkhovna Rada meeting during
[00:06:05] the war suddenly appear? Thank you, dear colleagues, look,
[00:06:08] well, please, I can't speak for everyone in the hall, perhaps
[00:06:12] there were more important issues, I don't know, she'll come and you'll ask,
[00:06:16] I don't have the authority or the right
[00:06:19] to re-ask or do other things, dear colleagues, let's move on,
[00:06:22] 15400, draft law on amendments to
[00:06:25] section six, final and transitional provisions of the Budget Code regarding
[00:06:28] the crediting of fees for processing and issuing documents in the field of state
[00:06:32] export control to the special
[00:07:23] outline is that this bill
[00:07:27] is related to the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers, which was adopted in
[00:07:30] July 2026, when the government introduced
[00:07:34] a special mechanism for controlled arms exports to
[00:07:38] partner states in the so-called drone
[00:07:41] deal format. First of all, weapons produced in Ukraine
[00:07:45] go to the defense forces, and in case of exceeding
[00:07:49] production capacities, they go for export, and
[00:07:52] the amendments to the code that we are currently considering determine
[00:07:55] that the fee for processing this
[00:07:59] export contract or permission to export these
[00:08:02] weapons is transferred to the needs of the defense forces and
[00:08:06] divided into two equal parts for
[00:08:09] the purchase, modernization and repair of armaments for the Armed
[00:08:13] Forces of Ukraine, and the payment of monetary support for
[00:08:17] servicemen of the Armed Forces
[00:08:20] of Ukraine. Currently, the government is considering,
[00:08:24] or thinking about, reviewing this rate, it was introduced at the level of
[00:08:27] 20% of the export contract, they are considering
[00:08:30] the possibility of reducing it, the Ministry
[00:08:33] of Defense appealed to the budget committee with a request
[00:08:37] to urgently consider this bill so that on
[00:08:40] Monday, today, to bring it
[00:08:43] to a vote in the hall, therefore the committee recommended
[00:08:46] to support it in principle and in its entirety, please support it.
[00:09:42] lacked literally a few votes to adopt this
[00:09:45] bill, this
[00:09:47] bill was finalized
[00:09:51] by the committee and took into account those
[00:09:55] comments and amendments that our
[00:09:57] people's deputies had, it
[00:10:01] was voted on by the Budget
[00:10:04] Committee unanimously, and therefore I today
[00:10:08] call on everyone to support
[00:10:11] this law. project, this
[00:10:14] bill provides an additional direct source
[00:10:18] of revenue for our military.
[00:10:21] The Ministry of Defense urged us
[00:10:25] to adopt this bill as quickly as possible, the Budget
[00:10:28] Committee
[00:10:31] recognized this bill as urgent, and therefore
[00:10:35] I call on all people's deputies, all
[00:10:38] factions to support this bill, this is money for
[00:10:41] our military, this is money for our
[00:11:12] your attention to the fact that the government's decision on partial
[00:11:16] permission for surplus military goods, components of military
[00:11:20] goods, military technologies, which
[00:11:23] was formalized as Resolution
[00:11:26] 875, has not yet worked, and it has not worked not
[00:11:30] because it is unknown where to pay the fee or duty, but because
[00:11:34] many nuances have not yet been regulated, and
[00:11:38] this is discussed at the defense committee,
[00:11:42] regarding our issue, in fact, I am
[00:11:45] confident that the head of the committee reads the conclusion of the budget
[00:11:48] committee, which clearly states that
[00:11:51] a situation has arisen when by its decision...
[00:11:55] Now we are entering into a conflict with such
[00:11:58] a fee for obtaining a permit, which concerns
[00:12:02] other existing administrative services that
[00:12:05] are provided today. Please read the conclusion
[00:12:09] of the budget committee. In fact, under
[00:12:12] this budget classification code,
[00:12:15] local budgets currently receive
[00:12:19] fees that come under
[00:12:21] this article, under the name other types of administrative
[00:12:25] services, so for January-August
[00:12:27] 26, almost 1.5 billion hryvnias
[00:12:31] were received by local budgets, with today's
[00:12:34] decision you are saying that no, we are completely taking
[00:12:38] this line, other administrative
[00:12:41] services, to the state budget with
[00:12:44] a distribution to a special
[00:12:47] fund with a 50/50 distribution, 50 for weapons,
[00:12:50] 50 for monetary support, please tell
[00:12:53] me, why didn't you allocate... as a separate type
[00:12:57] the fee for the export permit, why are you taking all other
[00:13:01] administrative services from local budgets, and
[00:13:04] finally, please decide, because at your committee
[00:13:08] there was talk about the need to return to
[00:13:11] the expert
[00:13:55] This is actually a very special
[00:13:57] guest, the theory of victory, how
[00:14:01] to achieve military success in confrontation with
[00:14:04] Russia in conditions of deterrence and
[00:14:06] defense.
[00:14:13] General Aleksandrovich.
[00:15:37] so in order to ensure
[00:15:41] peaceful development and sustainable presence, what challenges
[00:15:45] we have, and in fact I would like to remind that
[00:15:49] our alliance, first of all, is an alliance
[00:15:53] of defense, we do not have concrete plans and we do not have
[00:15:56] ambitions, we only want to protect
[00:16:00] our people and defend our
[00:16:02] territory, no one should
[00:16:06] understand our theory as
[00:16:09] a theory when we are afraid
[00:16:13] of something, our theory is to preserve peace,
[00:16:16] because we will fight to preserve
[00:16:19] peace, we will stop any
[00:16:22] attack, regardless of its
[00:16:26] origin, we will immediately
[00:16:28] react and support each of our
[00:16:32] allies if such danger
[00:16:34] arises, and this is what
[00:16:38] he calls his theory
[00:16:40] of victory, a concept based on
[00:16:43] the application of capabilities
[00:16:47] to maintain peace and, in
[00:16:50] a necessary situation, to be able to repel
[00:16:54] an attack, it is actually based on
[00:16:57] a strategy that is supported by all
[00:17:00] member countries of NATO. This is our theory
[00:17:04] of victory. I would like to elaborate on this
[00:17:08] theory in more detail, I would like to emphasize once again
[00:17:12] that I am not saying that conflict can be
[00:17:16] avoided, we can avoid
[00:17:19] conflicts only
[00:17:22] by outlining strategies,
[00:17:25] communication, and supporting
[00:17:28] the most necessary capabilities, transparency
[00:17:31] of policy, and therefore our readiness should be
[00:17:35] not in
[00:17:38] what is currently, but what may
[00:17:41] be in the future, we must foresee possible
[00:17:44] difficulties, remember this phrase, if we want
[00:17:47] peace, we must prepare for war, that is,
[00:17:51] peace is our strong part, and we
[00:17:54] must, as
[00:17:57] a common alliance, strive for this together. One of our
[00:18:01] advantages, we see that
[00:18:04] this situation in which we found ourselves,
[00:18:08] and the events that help us collect a large
[00:18:11] amount of information,
[00:18:15] allows us to come to serious
[00:18:17] conclusions, analysis of the situation, and develop
[00:18:21] strategic strategic decisions for
[00:18:25] cooperation, and therefore results do not come
[00:18:28] unexpectedly, we want to give
[00:18:30] an opportunity in case of necessity
[00:18:34] to quickly make decisions in order to ensure
[00:18:38] defense, joint defense for our participants,
[00:18:41] participants of NATO,
[00:18:45] in short, we actually
[00:18:48] talk about such tasks as being able to immediately
[00:18:52] respond to attacks on the territory of our
[00:18:55] allied states,
[00:18:58] sometimes this is called a plan,
[00:19:01] but in fact this is our theory, and
[00:19:05] victory allows our
[00:19:07] allies to have a concrete vision of how we can
[00:19:11] deter the enemy,
[00:19:13] and these are the main tasks that we must achieve, we
[00:19:17] must demonstrate
[00:19:18] the ability
[00:19:22] to defend ourselves and be ready for the difficulties that
[00:19:26] may arise and learn difficult lessons from
[00:19:30] the example of Russia's war against Ukraine in order
[00:19:33] to be able to respond accordingly if, for example, the attack continues.
[00:19:38] we need to stop
[00:19:41] the enemy's advance, that is, we must
[00:19:44] work on a significant amount of military
[00:19:47] equipment, and of course
[00:19:50] we must think about the fact that our ground
[00:19:53] forces will also be involved in case
[00:19:57] of an attack, and our our
[00:20:01] marines will also play their
[00:20:04] role in in in the situation
[00:20:08] of resistance, of resistance within the framework
[00:20:11] of defense, we also talk
[00:20:15] about about the advantage of our marines,
[00:20:18] that is, our advantage at sea, this
[00:20:21] means that with all possible land forces
[00:20:25] and at sea and in the air we must block
[00:20:28] the possible advance
[00:20:31] of the enemy deep into any territory
[00:20:35] of our allies.
[00:20:38] We need to work out
[00:20:41] the moment and use and use
[00:20:45] the best achievements today,
[00:20:47] for example, in control
[00:20:51] and communication systems, work on this for a quick
[00:20:55] complete defeat of troops,
[00:20:58] if we actually
[00:21:00] can
[00:21:04] not just work on reducing
[00:21:07] the number of attacks, but on strengthening defense, to do
[00:21:10] this, we are currently
[00:21:14] actually working more on new
[00:21:17] weapons, on new
[00:21:20] technologies that will be able to, in their
[00:21:23] own way, exert pressure on our
[00:21:26] adversary. We will do this in
[00:21:30] such areas as nuclear deterrence, cyberspace
[00:21:34] defense, space operations,
[00:21:38] and enemy formations
[00:21:40] will be stopped, and and in fact, their
[00:21:44] leadership will not be able to use control and communication systems
[00:21:48] to manage. After what
[00:21:51] I have stated, I would like to say that we do
[00:21:55] not want, we will not
[00:21:59] need to inflict defeat on
[00:22:03] our enemy, we must
[00:22:07] create such conditions when, when
[00:22:10] our adversary
[00:22:13] faces such strong resistance, when, when
[00:22:16] they will be forced to suffer, to suffer defeat.
[00:22:24] We are also focused on
[00:22:28] coordinating all our possible resources,
[00:22:31] forces to achieve
[00:22:34] victory, and
[00:22:37] I would like to emphasize once again that the system of deterrence
[00:22:41] and defense will always be supported
[00:22:44] and work towards de-escalation
[00:22:47] of the situation.
[00:22:50] we will do this in order to
[00:22:54] apply the best strategies. This means
[00:22:57] that, for example, the burden of escalation, in some
[00:23:01] part, may in some
[00:23:04] way damage the overall
[00:23:07] situation, the emotional state, the psychological state, this
[00:23:11] means that this escalation
[00:23:14] in any direction worsens
[00:23:17] the atmosphere. if, for example, our
[00:23:21] enemy puts us in such
[00:23:24] conditions, we must
[00:23:28] ensure such a situation where the spirit of our
[00:23:31] military and the population we will be
[00:23:35] protecting will not suffer, that is, we
[00:23:39] must ensure such an approach where every
[00:23:42] step, every attack by our enemy
[00:23:45] will suffer defeat,
[00:23:48] and for our to quickly understand that
[00:23:51] they have no chance of winning, and the price
[00:23:55] of escalating the conflict for them will also be quite
[00:23:58] high, that is,
[00:24:02] in our alliance, we
[00:24:04] actually we increase
[00:24:08] the readiness of our forces. We
[00:24:12] will continue to prepare every
[00:24:14] day training, exercises, and all this will be today, tomorrow and
[00:24:18] the day after tomorrow. Preparing
[00:24:21] to build, preparing for victory, this
[00:24:25] is one of the key,
[00:24:28] key strategies of actual defense,
[00:24:31] showing that we are ready
[00:24:34] to fight for ourselves, this
[00:24:36] means that we certainly have a better chance
[00:24:39] of winning,
[00:24:42] and it is also important to maintain
[00:24:45] superiority through deterrence and
[00:24:48] defense conditions, every task, every
[00:24:51] exercise, everything we
[00:24:54] invest, will pay off a hundredfold, because
[00:24:58] victory will be achieved
[00:25:01] comprehensively,
[00:25:04] so our ground forces
[00:25:07] actually demonstrate their their
[00:25:11] potential for resistance, and also they
[00:25:15] can perform
[00:25:18] a significant number.
[00:25:23] we also talk about
[00:25:25] our
[00:25:28] our serious anti-missile
[00:25:31] systems, when we can influence
[00:25:35] the capabilities of control and communication systems,
[00:25:39] and all this can
[00:25:41] help us carry out
[00:25:44] defense,
[00:25:47] our first task, I remind you again, is...
[00:25:51] And if deterrence can be
[00:25:54] achieved through the demonstration
[00:25:58] of our strength, our readiness.
[00:26:11] I believe that this is a quite realistic plan,
[00:26:14] and therefore I remind you once again, our alliance
[00:26:18] is aimed at peace, and we do not consider
[00:26:22] attacks, we are entirely a defensive
[00:26:26] alliance, we are
[00:26:29] ready and we will be more ready today, tomorrow
[00:26:33] and every day after that, we stand
[00:26:36] here together and in Poland, stronger than ever
[00:26:40] before, we have balanced
[00:26:43] forces, we know how to fight if such
[00:26:46] a need arises, and together we
[00:26:49] will ensure that any enemy who wants
[00:26:53] to step on the land of our ally will
[00:27:26] namely the theory of victory,
[00:27:28] actually already existed, I think...
[00:27:32] it can even be said that people
[00:27:35] talked about it before, why
[00:27:39] did it become popular now, and you are talking about it
[00:27:42] in Warsaw. Yes, thank you, we talked, we worked on this
[00:27:45] theory for quite a long
[00:27:49] time, we met,
[00:27:51] finalized the project,
[00:27:55] we also have the final version of the document, which
[00:27:58] is currently
[00:28:02] for... we have foreseen
[00:28:04] certain activities that will need to be
[00:28:08] applied in case of sabotage or
[00:28:11] some
[00:28:12] more difficult
[00:28:16] situations, that is, we know how
[00:28:19] to react, we know what
[00:28:21] to do,
[00:28:24] and I would also like to tell
[00:28:27] others, in order not to
[00:28:30] damage and... we are actually
[00:28:33] ready to repel any attacks
[00:28:36] on our allies, and we
[00:28:39] are ready, we are ready to take
[00:28:42] the challenge,
[00:28:44] you say, you always repeat, here we have it, we
[00:28:48] have it, that is, does your theory
[00:28:52] evaluate the situation when we
[00:28:56] have deterrence, this is,
[00:28:59] for example, look, please look at various
[00:29:03] other examples when actually
[00:29:06] involved in serious military actions.
[00:29:10] Yes, and that is precisely why
[00:29:13] we have worked more on this situation
[00:29:17] regarding the theory of victory. We, for example,
[00:29:20] analyzed the conflict in the Middle East, and
[00:29:24] also analyzed the course
[00:29:26] of events in Russia's war against
[00:29:29] Ukraine, we drew conclusions, developed
[00:29:36] our theory, we took all these issues into account, we learned a lot as a
[00:29:40] result of analyzing the situation, and we understand what we
[00:29:44] need
[00:29:44] to do,
[00:29:48] we also need to remember about investments,
[00:29:52] which we must invest in to increase
[00:29:54] the potential of our
[00:29:57] allies,
[00:30:01] so we have that. so you talk
[00:30:05] about conflicts, so
[00:30:08] the first, the first question is how small
[00:30:12] our reserves are, do you think the reserves are improving, do you
[00:30:15] think that Ukraine is the biggest
[00:30:18] question, how do we
[00:30:21] stand in terms of
[00:30:24] anti-missile systems, are we ready for such cases, as I
[00:30:28] said,
[00:30:30] if we can be... ready now, that's good, we can be even
[00:30:34] better prepared, and that's why I'm talking about it, we can always improve
[00:30:38] our situation, at the moment,
[00:30:42] investments, of course, mostly go into the defense industry, which I consider
[00:30:46] very good, and in the last few years we
[00:30:49] have also learned a lot from Ukraine, it is extremely important
[00:30:53] to see what works, what needs
[00:30:57] to be improved, I think...
