there is no such thing there, everyone knows it, now the second amendment is being announced, and this is also important, it has been announced, voting on this second amendment is now starting, you see in the second amendment proposed, the presidium of the chamber is the second amendment, huh. yes, yes, this is already major green, our representative from georgia, yes, the most i said is now a harsh criticism of aid to ukraine, but this amendment has no way to pass at all, you know that among ms. green’s amendments, let’s say, replace all numbers of aid to ukraine with zeros, that is, it's just a game like the majors taylor, he knows very well about ... will not

pass, and as you can see, if the victoria sports amendment had some supporters among the republicans, then there is not even a division in half, the majority of republicans vote against this amendment, and almost all democrats, i wonder who this one democrat who agreed to this is, maybe he mixed up the button, he will say later what is necessary, he will say later that this vote must be withdrawn. since this actually happens here in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, well, here we also see that the congress has absolute consensus to reject this amendment, yes, that is, we are actually observing this situation with you now according to the procedure, after 30 seconds it ends, well, i think we can see that donald trump has become.

be more careful with aid to ukraine, andrii, you see that he said that he thinks that it can be given in the form of a loan, that the united states is not interested in ukraine falling, he also said that, moreover, i i will tell you, mr. vitaly, that this week there was a statement by donald trump, where he said that europe has moreover, there was a statement that the problem is precisely that europe does not add, that is, the rhetoric that ukraine does not actually need to give. what, after all, it is necessary for europe to join, and then the united states of america will join, that is, the rhetoric has changed, and you said, i absolutely agree with you that, most likely, the issue here is that the majority of voters, even republicans, they are still in favor of ukraine, maybe they are not in favor of increasing support, let’s say, among democratic voters according to all sociological polls, but at least... the majority is in

favor of maintaining the current support of the united states of america for ukraine at the current level, and it is already a victory that in fact the opinion of the voters still influenced even such a person as donald trump. well , you see that by and large, the iranian attack on israel, it also showed that these are all things that really happen in one stream, that's all. israeli politicians have already started talking, and you understand when this, the next, the fourth, something was missed, well, it's interesting how difficult it is for us to understand end of this procedure, this is another law, this legislator, from these radical trumpists, and melary taylor green could remove her third amendment after the second one failed, but we, by the way. here we observe that, after all

, among the republicans, the support of mr. kemmick, it is greater than the imager, than, than, not what is more, because there, in fact, here the republicans are not even that they are divided, but they support his correction more, but less , however, we understand that it will not pass, it will not pass, the democrats are all voting against it. republicans are two-thirds in favor, but one-third are against, so it is clear that actually 60% of the house of representatives will vote against this amendment. well, it is interesting that you can, it turns out, remove your amendment if you understand that it is not, that it does not pass, that by one of your amendments you understand the mood of your colleague, you do not confuse them , and again, we have definitely... i would be

confused, really, vote, vote, yes, here we see the situation, well , 260, even more, 200, almost 300 votes against these. there is an amendment, so it is it also does not pass, you see, we do not know, unfortunately, the text of these amendments, it would be interesting to know them so that we understand in general what the democrats can support in such and such a number, we will now try to find out, it would be good, right because of course it's unprincipled, but it's just interesting, you know, it's interesting that... what causes such support, well, it was zero, so uh, yeah, the fourth amendment of the chemist, it talks about removing all non-military aid to ukraine, but

you see, yes, only military aid way, and it didn't pass, well, look how many republicans supported it, as many as 150 people, and by the way, the number one spa amendment. she had to exclude 8 billion dollars of non-military aid, that is, in fact, it is both of these amendments, and the most, let's put it mildly, inadequate amendment, it is mrs. mergeryr, green, who wanted to stop aid to ukraine altogether, this is essentially in short, so that you understand what each of these exercises is about, that's all, but you see that yes, it did not pass. but you see that most republicans her supported, this is also an interesting moment, of course, it is not fundamental for us now, even if this non-military aid was withdrawn, well, it would be bad, but it is not fundamental, but it is interesting from the point of view of

the intersection of this electoral, electoral and section, understanding how and what point of view republicans have. and maybe, maybe, where ukraine needs to work, and with whom it needs to work in the future in order to convince, support ukraine more. so, do you remember when they talked about the fact that our people's deputies should and should travel to meet with congressmen and senators, it is very important for us, our legislators, to understand what needs to be convinced. i understand that some documents have also been removed, these are all the amendments, i

understand that they have been voted on, so now the law must be voted on, and the amendment does not pass, by the way, as long as it takes, it will simply be canceled by a majority or by two-thirds. what happens as a result, oh, another blow and another announcement of the law, as far as i understand, it is already the law, so it is final already voting on our ukrainian issue. this is just announced, this is the name of the law, and now we will see it, the voting procedure itself, well, you see, the house

of representatives works like a clock, just specifically, everyone knows their function, their place, three strikes. at the same time, it cannot be said that everyone is sitting still. this, i would say, is the configuration for a feature film, not for parliament. people behave differently. democracy, it is like that, well, yes, like that. no, not everyone should sit comfortably. people are suitable, have their own points of view, c we can see some flaws in this, but

we understand that such flaws are better than, than what has, than what is in authoritarian states, in which, in principle, voting. does not exist as such, yes. the ukrainian law is being voted on, and in 5 minutes we will find out everything, as far as i understand, this is not a law, but what? and this is a rejection

of something, that is, it is not yet a vote according to the law, right? we, unfortunately, did not hear, it's just that, what they said, what they said, yes, representatives of the congress, and accordingly, we can only do, this is a procedural vote on this law, yes that is, they must logically fail this procedural vote in order to go directly to the vote, 3 minutes, yes 50, seconds before completing this procedural vote, and then, accordingly, there will probably be a transition to ours. by the way, we can also observe,

you see on your screens, that in fact, the majority of republicans also vote for the failure of this, this, this procedure, the absolute majority of democrats, 200-203 already vote for failure as well, 71 a republican votes for what... so that after all still carry out this procedure, and it will most likely plus or minus correspond to the number of votes for our ukrainian draft law. well, that's interesting. the self-formulation of this, of this procedure, is a re-vote, in fact, it is

a re-vote, so eh, we have to explain it now, probably to us, what it is in general , eh, this is the last opportunity of the minority to make changes to the draft law before its final adoption, i.e. now there is a vote: can anyone else make any changes, and if the majority votes that they cannot, then all amendments end there, that's it here is the essence of this procedure, in fact, now we will see. well, that is, you can ignore it, there are already 340 votes against

making any new changes to this legislation. there will be another vote, so , unfortunately, we may not make it. before the end of our broadcast, we have such a strange conversation today, of course, but i think that now it is important not so much to talk, but to watch the congressmen, we see something.

so what does this mean that after this vote, obviously, the vote for the law itself will begin, and we see the number of those who votes for voting for it now, 336 votes, which means that and when they will start voting for the law itself. there will be such a number, so now we are now, now we will be.

to specifically vote on the same project 8035 aid project is being voted on. in ukraine, well, you can see, 5 minutes to vote, a lot, friends, we are now seeing a historic vote, if we can return the very numbers of this vote, so, now the decisive vote for aid to ukraine is taking place, which ukrainians have actually been waiting for six months since the president of the united states, joe biden, requested additional funding for ukraine, and we are already seeing this bill

pass the house of representatives, the vote has not yet been completed, but look at the numbers, for... 275 votes against now 98. in order for this bill to pass approval, a simple majority is needed, that is, a little more than 218 votes, 281, 282, 4, 5, we already see that this bill passes approval, but we will, of course, summarize with our colleagues , so now we are waiting for 3 minutes to the end, but it looks like the ukrainian draft law is going to be approved by the house of representatives, yes. we see that in the congress there are ukrainian flags, marching bands, other representatives who are part of the support group of ukraine in the congress are waving ukrainian flags, expressing, expressing their support for ukraine and the festive mood, we see that those who

support ukraine really they smile, they hand out more to congressmen. ukrainian flags, that is, of course, hope for more 2.5 minutes, a little more until the end of the vote, but we can already see that the congressmen have risen from their seats and are approaching the podium, everyone is already talking and sharing their impressions, this is really such a solemn day, a solemn moment that the congressmen have been talking about since the beginning , which called it historically. moment, and pointed to the role of the us in supporting ukraine in the face of russian aggression. friends, this is actually a very important point, the last time the house of representatives approved aid to ukraine in 2022, at the end of the year, if you remember, look at this footage, look at this footage, it's footage of american lawmakers with

ukrainian flags. and the numbers you see on the screen right now are 310 votes for, against 100. 11 votes, 310 votes - this is already much more than the minimum required for this bill to pass the house of representatives. so, it is not yet official, but we can say that the bill on aid to ukraine is being approved by the house of representatives. very long work, extraordinary, long work, so that this bill passed approval, work continued from the ukrainian side, from the american friends of ukraine. from the legislators, from the europeans who came here to actually lobby on this issue, but you can see that it worked, and finally, after a six-month hiatus, the house of representatives of the american congress approves, it looks like it will approve the additional funding bill for ukraine. friends, i just invite you

to watch this one. please be quieter. we remind the members of congress that we need to finish voting in 45 seconds, the presiding officer reminds us that we need to finish, there are still 30 seconds left, but you can already see the emotions in the very house of representatives, and we see when the camera shows the congressmen, in fact the hall congress in yellow and blue colors, almost everyone has... ukrainian flags are waving them marcy kaptor raised this flag above her head oksana look , there are 7 seconds left, come on, listen. let's listen, let's listen to what is happening now, direct speech. oh, speaker johnson comes to the podium. you hear ovations,

shouts, greetings. friends, the bill on aid to ukraine passed the house of representatives, now this. officially and now we 're waiting, you see mike johnson, the speaker of the house of representatives, now at the podium, we 're expecting him to speak, we're expecting now to make the official announcement of the moment you've all been waiting for. and please. you practically do not have the right to use the flags of other countries in the

voting hall, please take them away. please order whether everyone has voted or not someone wants to change how they voted.

and in this, at the moment, 311 voted for, 112 against, one abstained, which means that the draft law has been adopted. please be quieter. please be quieter, and the chairman would like to remind you that, unfortunately, our rules do not allow us to use the proportions of different countries in the meeting in the hall, please, the gentleman from florida wants to propose something, for what purpose, no, it is the lady from florida wants to suggest something. and the chairman does not support the new proposal, please order,

observe order, all deputies must comply with the rules, speakers, a warning to the speakers, they should address the... we will now vote on another bill that was not voted on, house bill 8034. the clerk is now reading the title of that bill, the additional security assistance to israel bill , which will be in effect until the end of the financial year of september 2024, well, congratulations to andria, so congratulations and congratulations to all ukrainians. to all the people who support our country, well, thank you, thank you to the congressmen, thank you to everyone to the democrats and those republicans who

voted, after all, how many six months, almost six months, dragged on with this law or with these similar bills, and fortunately they have already voted, so congratulations once again, today is really a day, which is no exaggeration. can be considered extremely important for our country and for the entire world community, you saw, you saw how the congressmen were with ukrainian flags, that was also a very interesting moment, but for me it was also a very interesting moment, absolutely incredible, which connected with the fact that republicans, the majority of republicans voted against this bill, so to speak. this is the real defeat of speaker michael johnson, not even, not even 50-50, as you and i have just discussed and thought, or even hoped, that the majority

of republicans, and the minority, would be possible. will be against it, but unfortunately we have what we have and that's really what 's a little bit upsetting, well at least it shows what the mood of the republican party is, the republican party is split around exactly on the ukrainian issue, you and i are currently monitoring the vote in support of israel, there is no such problem there, republicans and democrats vote almost synchronously, there is indeed a certain number of democrats who do not support this bill, but it is not... small, it is not the same , what happened in the faction of the republican party, this is also such a moment, but we have to say right away, this vote is not over yet, it will continue for 3 minutes, but its results already show that the entire package of bills, proposed by mike johnson, it was voted on and will be sent to the united states senate next. hours, and

if the senators decide to vote tomorrow, then in principle this bill on supporting ukraine can be approved tomorrow and signed by president joseph biden on monday, if the senators do not have time to do it before their vacation, then it will happen in a week, april 29 29 returns , and then he votes for it on the 29th and... on april 5, this decision will be made, in what meaning, the senate vacation, why can they still work tomorrow and work until monday evening, we also have to explain this, because pesach begins, the jewish passover on the 22nd evening, as a rule, congressmen there honor their colleagues who... celebrate this day , and

therefore on jewish religious holidays, as well as on christian ones, on such great holidays, the congress interrupts its work, but, fortunately, this will not happen until after sunset on the 22nd of april, since there are practically two working days, sunday and monday, if it won't be chuck schumer's will, chuck schumer is the first jew, speaker, leader. majority in the senate of the united states of america, so this is his holiday as well, which he can definitely say to himself: you know, let's go to the holiday, we will work, and by the way, we must already state that the aid to israel has also been voted as of now , therefore, therefore, therefore, this is also very important for the world community in general, as

i will demonstrate it. that one of the, shall we say, the main hegemons, the dominant democracies in the world, the united states of america did not make a mistake and went that way, which they should have gone as far back as last fall, and basically all four bills at this point, so we welcome you, our dear viewers, it's a pleasure to be with you in these minutes on this live broadcast with you. we looked at how this legal vote took place, we expected this vote for seven months in a row, we will now hope with you that this vote will change the situation on the front, it will at least create serious problems for the russians regarding their intentions to attack ukrainian positions there, this will change the situation in macroeconomic sector of ukraine, you see, they wanted to suppress it somehow, but it didn't work out, and we will hope that this

help will be... quickly approved, i want to thank all those who were with us along with this broadcast, thank you , thank you, thank you to vitaly portnikov, once again we congratulate all ukrainians, all citizens of ukraine, all those who supported us, the saturday political club, we were live and followed this historic event, discussed all the most important events of this week. thank you and see you in a week. to date! good luck, victory to you and glory to ukraine. us aid, what exactly does our country expect to receive from its allies.
