you are watching the ukrainian voice of america program chas time. my name is maria ulyanovska. congratulations. the administration of us president joe biden announced a new package of military aid to ukraine in the amount of 175 million dollars. it includes ammunition for anti-aircraft defense systems for haimarstal. artillery, anti-radar and anti-tank missiles equipped for infrastructure protection and others. the government declared that this package is security, this package is security aid for ukraine may be one of the last if congress does not vote for a new aid package. today , the united states senate is scheduled to hold its first procedural vote on the aid package for ukraine and other partners. meanwhile , yesterday's closed briefing in the senate regarding ukraine, according to the american media, turned into a loud dispute. on

border security and migration policy. and while senators are trying to find consensus, they are struggling to overcome differences over exactly what format to put the aid up for a vote. ukraine. on wednesday, majority leader democrat chuck schumer called on republicans to start a debate on the bailout, but senate minority leader mitch mccone, a republican, said his colleagues would vote against it. the question that stands today. before the senate is a simple but important one, will senators agree to begin a debate, just a debate, this afternoon the senate will vote on whether to move forward on additional funding, the security of america, the security of democracy, the future of the war in ukraine. we know that national security starts with border security. i 've spent months highlighting the direct link between the threats we face...in europe,

the middle east, and the indo- pacific, but it appears that the democratic leadership is willing to risk each of these immediate priorities to avoid increasing the. .. own borders, here at home. president joe biden personally addressed the us congress on wednesday and urged lawmakers to pass his additional request to fund aid to ukraine, israel and other expenses. he emphasized that withdraw from support for ukraine now, means giving a gift to vladimir putin. we will talk more about his appeal with yulia yarmolenko, who joins us from the white house. julia, hello, congratulations, maria. please tell me why the president so suddenly decided to address congress personally and what he emphasized in his address? because maria says in the white house, they have no resources left to help ukraine and almost no time left, and today in the speech of president biden, which was quite unexpected after

virtual meeting with the leaders of the group of seven countries, he emphasized several important points, firstly, he told maria that we cannot allow putin to win, he said that any interruption in aid to ukraine will only strengthen putin's strategic position. he reminded that ukrainians continued to fight very actively during the past two years, during the past 10 years. he said that the united states, the americans , made their contribution with their help, both military and financial, so that the ukrainians could win back their territories. he said that ukrainians did not allow putin's ambitions to win, and in fact it should continue. he said now was not the time to retreat. because first of all, there's a lot at stake, there's security in europe, he said he doesn't want the american military to have to fight the russians, so he says it's extremely important to approve this aid as soon as possible, and he actually, maria, when he uttered these words, he

said that he was frankly surprised by what is happening now and that the issue of aid to ukraine is being brought up at all and generally about it it is said, let's listen to the president's own words. biden frankly, it's amazing that we even got to this point. republicans in congress are ready to give putin the biggest gift he could hope for, and give up our global leadership, not just ukraine. i call on the congress to do the right thing, to support the people of ukraine, to oppose putin's tyranny, to stand up for freedom, literally. stand up for freedom, let's do it, we're the reason putin didn't take over ukraine completely and go beyond it, you've all heard as i said before, if we go, how many of our european friends will continue funding and in what amounts

they will continue it, it is too serious. as i said, i am ready to make significant compromises on the border. we need to fix a broken system, but so far i haven't heard back. yuli, i would like to remind our viewers that now you can watch the full version of joe biden's address translated into ukrainian on the youtube channel of the voice of america in ukraine, and do not forget to subscribe so as not to miss the most important our stories yuli, now there are also differences in the congress regarding the provision and joint assistance to ukraine with the issues of the security of the american border and the strengthening of migration legislation. what is the essence of these disagreements and why can legislators not reach a consensus? significant republicans insist that further aid to ukraine should depend, in fact, on strengthening the security of the southern border of the united states. previously, we heard these theses only from republicans in the house of representatives, now they have been joined by powerful voices from republicans in the senate. it is interesting that in the request

for additional funding for national security priorities, which the white house actually wants congress to pass, there is also written in it the strengthening of ... the security of the southern border, but this is not the strengthening that the republicans insist on, that the republicans want , they 're talking about rebuilding the border wall, and they want tougher immigration rules, particularly for asylum seekers, president biden, we heard from him today, he says that in fact what the republicans are proposing is draconian legislation, that it is actually political manipulation, if you can say that, and he says that he is really ready to negotiate and make concessions. he believes that the border is a very important issue and that there are problems there, reforms are needed, but - says president biden, he proposed these solutions, the republicans did not agree with them, we are hearing from the republicans now, in particular from mike johnson, the day before he wrote

his a letter in which he emphasized that he did not hear them, so maria, we will see in reality, but as president biden said, he has a lot of experience in the congress, he talks about what needs to be done: negotiations, if the republicans want changes, a consensus must be found. yuli, and to our third topic, today the american ukrainian defense and industrial conference began in washington, and the ukrainian delegation arrived there, please tell us. what is known about this event? this is an important event, maria, and as we were told in the white house by one of the high-ranking officials, president zelensky insisted on this event back during his visit here to washington in september. this event is aimed at helping ukrainians to actually find contacts with american weapons manufacturers and possibly conclude new agreements on joint production of weapons on the territory of ukraine. we know that a large delegation has arrived here. to washington, in particular to the minister of defense of ukraine, rustem umyerov, but we also know that more than 300 companies from the united

states have arrived, which could potentially be the companies and partners with whom you can to open a joint production, we will monitor whether there will be any announcements, it is expected that there will be announcements tomorrow, so maria, we will tell you about it a little later, thank you very much, yulia, i will remind you that yulia yarmolenko worked for us from the white house. meanwhile , minnews usa announced on wednesday. the indictment of four russian soldiers for committing war crimes against americans who lived in ukraine during the full-scale russian invasion. this was announced by us attorney general merrick garland at a briefing today. this one the case is the first time that the united states has prosecuted those who have committed war crimes against american citizens abroad. my colleague oleksiy kovalenko is following the development of this case. hello, oleksiy. congratulations. please tell me about the details of this case. what is the point, why are they accusing the russian military and. is this charge important? yes, actually, maria, you brought up a very important point that this is a historic

case in a sense, it is the first time that american jurisdiction has been used to open a case like this to investigate crimes of russian servicemen that were committed on the territory of ukraine, and american legislation is used for this, this is the statute of the united states of america on war crimes, which was adopted in congress almost 30 years ago, and it is this statute that allows the investigation of crimes committed on the territory of not of the united states against american citizens. as for the substance of the case itself, we know from today's speech by us attorney general merrick garland, as well as the details of this case in a nine-page document published in federal court in the state of virginia , charging four russian servicemen with war crimes, organizing a war crime, and complicity in the organization of a war

crime against an american citizen who was kidnapped and tortured and held captive for 10 days in april 2022 . in particular, the charge is brought against two russian officers, one of whom is suren mokrchan, as well as another russian and two other russian servicemen of a lower rank rank, and we know that from the data of the investigations of ukrainian journalists, one of these officers, soren mykrchan, is accused of allegedly torturing many ukrainians who were in the temporarily occupied territory, he is accused of kidnapping people, as well as oppression of women and girls. as for this particular case, the documents in this case state that the americans held him for 10 days,

whipped him, tied his hands, threatened him with hanging, threatened him with execution, and did a mock execution when they put a gun to the temple, the temple of this person, and promised that they would shoot, about the importance of this case, we can hear from the comment of the us attorney general merrick garland, who... today spoke about it during a press conference at the ministry of justice. when the world witnessed the horrors of russia's brutal invasion of ukraine, so did the united states department of justice. that is why the department of justice issued the first ever charges under the us war crimes statute, however four russian-linked servicemen in heinous crimes against an american citizen. almost. years ago , congress passed the us war crimes statute to give us jurisdiction to prosecute war crimes committed against

american citizens abroad. oleksiy, you are investigating the topic of russian war crimes in ukraine, please tell me whether we can expect other similar cases in the future, and how does the united states help ukraine in the investigation of war crimes? yes, in fact, this is a very important question, and so are we we know that this case, specifically, it is the result of cooperation between the office of the us attorney general merrick garland and the office of the attorney general of ukraine kostin, and we also heard today from merrick garden himself that he thanked the ukrainian authorities for the cooperation of the ukrainian attorney general. for the cooperation that became possible after the signing of a special memorandum between the us attorney general's office and the prosecutor general's office of ukraine. also, the general prosecutor's office of ukraine called this case historical, one of historical importance. and actually about whether there will be such cases in the future, merrick garlan was asked today during a press conference, and he said, "yes, this case, it's the first case of its kind,

but it's far from the last. and we remember the previous statements of merrick garland, who talked about what. a his office will not be unrelenting in its investigation of russian military crimes committed on the territory of ukraine.we also know that there is cooperation on many levels, in particular, there is a special group under the ministry of justice that is engaged in investigation and prosecution for russian crimes, and this the group is based on the experience already in the united states of investigating the crimes of nazi criminals. during the second world war. there is also a group on cooperation at the international level, in particular at the level of the international criminal court, and there is also assistance from the united states, the international, the international committee established in the hague to investigate the crime of aggression. we remember that in november the usa allocated about one million dollars to this organization.

as for the importance of such future affairs, the importance of cooperation, i spoke today with an expert. by new york university professor jennifer trehan, if we have her quote, we can listen right now on this topic. this is an important new development. the us has renewed its war crimes laws, made it easier to use them in such situations. so, this is a really powerful development. it is obvious that there are many cases of war crimes and the majority of the burden will fall on the ukrainian authorities, but i believe that it is very important that. other countries could continue the proceedings. there are a number of countries, primarily in europe, that have started legal proceedings, but i i believe that this is a very important step, to see how the us takes its obligations seriously and enters this space, initiating such cases. thank you oleksii, i will remind you that

oleksii kovalenko told us about the accusations of the united states against the russian military. and in other news, the g7 leaders confirmed that sovereign russian assets under their jurisdiction will remain frozen until russia compensates ukraine for the damage. russia must stop its illegal war of aggression and to pay the damages caused by it, which, according to the world bank, already exceed 400 billion dollars, the statement says. in a joint communiqué, following the results of the g7 summit, the leaders also emphasized their commitment to the steps already being taken to help ukraine achieve justice. and lasting peace. among them is the continuation of work on bilateral security agreements and support for the ukrainian peace formula. meanwhile , a meeting of the security council on maintaining peace and security in ukraine took place at the un. it the first meeting that concerns ukraine for the presidency of the security council of ecuador. my colleague iryna solomko follows the events from new york. hi iro. iro, please tell me about

the details of this meeting, what was discussed? yes, maria, as you already mentioned, it was a meeting, that is, it was an important meeting, due to the fact that recently, against the background of the conflict between israel and hamas, as well as the aggravation of other regional conflicts, in principle, the attention of the security council to ukraine decreased a little, and this is particularly evident the number of meetings held by this body devoted to ukraine, the last meeting was two weeks ago, during the ashing of china, and as i was told by colleagues, respectively diplomats, actually on... even with it there were several problems, because the chinese constantly tried to move the date. there is probably a certain influence of russia in this , because even today, during the meeting, the deputy permanent representative of russia to the un , dmytro polyansky, in fact publicly thanked the representatives of china and he in fact praised them for what during that meeting he did not allow a number of european countries to participate in it, which wanted to support

ukraine, respectively, he only allowed ukraine and eu countries to participate. but returning to today's meeting, as you noted , on december 1, ecuador presides, and this country repeatedly, almost constantly, during the meetings, expresses its support for ukraine and most importantly condemns the actions of russia, therefore, that is , it was not such a surprise that they began their presidency on the essence of this from the meeting dedicated to ukraine, and in particular the humanitarian situation, many members of the country spoke about the fact that russia has again renewed its attacks on the civilian population and infrastructure, which essentially repeats the scenario of last year, yes. when russia tried to freeze ukraine, and it is necessary to prepare for this, and for this it is necessary to help ukraine, accordingly overcome the consequences of these actions of russia. in addition, several ambassadors noted. that is, they noted that this is one of the largest drone attacks that russia launched on kyiv, it took place at the beginning of a pan-scale tuesday, i mean, it took place on november 25, when the whole

the world and ukraine commemorated the 90th anniversary of the holodomor. in addition, during the speech, for example, deputy general secretary myroslav yencha, he named new statistics of how many civilians have already died during this conflict, if two weeks ago he was talking about this one, well, a psychologist. such a figure of 10,000, that we have already crossed these 10,000, then today he said that it is already 10.65 people, that is, in these two weeks, in fact, plus 65 ukrainians died from, respectively, from these shellings by the russians, i also want to note , that in general statements of the member countries within the framework of the security council, they are becoming less and less diplomatic in relation to russia, and in particular, for example, the ambassador of france, he named russia, says that russia is taking hostages. essentially the entire system of world food security, and accordingly the japanese ambassador, he said that he nevertheless called on russia to stop this war so that

the warm spring of peace, which this country deserves, would finally come to ukraine, and would also like to celebrate the american deputy, permanent representative who spoke at the un, he said that russia will freeze ukraine again, that is, everyone was absolutely clear about this, he also said that russia had recently destroyed 3,000 tons of grain there. shelling, namely the port infrastructure, and these 3,000 could feed 15 million people for a month, but not the most important thing, in principle he said that the world does not believe russia's statements, now you can hear his speech. we have heard an ever- increasing list of ridiculous russian excuses for waging and continuing this unjustified war, nato denazification is biological weapons spread by bats and birds , russia, the list goes on, russia hopes people will believe her lies if repeated enough, but despite

attempts to disguise her imperialistic ambitions, the way to end this war has always been simple and clear. russia must stop its aggression and withdraw its troops from the internationally recognized territory of ukraine. iro, how did the russian delegation react to these straightforward statements. and yes, maria, you know, in principle, almost every time it seems that there is no limit to the level of russian cynicism, even diplomats say this, but this time dmytro polyansky outdid himself again . shelling and deaths , primarily civilians, and here are the countries of the west, in fact, they are literally trying to bring this topic to the council without... keeping it afloat in the security council and using this platform to spread anti-russian narratives, i.e. essentially russia says such a mirror shows such

a situation of what she is doing in the security council, but also as an answer, that is, it essentially proves that for russia this platform is very important, it is also to some extent a diplomatic war of his and hers, and she is trying to win it, that is, it is not going to give up, this is an important platform for its dissemination, that is, to spread it... for the world, and as a response, he usually, when the countries of the west hold such meetings and briefings, russia immediately holds its own, and this the topic is usually arms deliveries, and already russia announced that they will discuss this on december 11, respectively, and i would like to say very quickly that, in fact, the cynicism lies in the fact that polyansky said that now it turns out that these western countries will create a famine when they export grain to european countries, although this not true, according to statistics, it is about the fact that african countries and the poles on the border, who are blocking the border, are saving ukraine from this famine, maria, thank you iro, i will remind you about the meeting in the security council

iryna solomko told us about it. finally, a story from ukraine. former residents of aitiv, and now ukrainian defenders, teach compatriots to shoot firearms using a mobile application. this. the free application appeared at the beginning of december 2022, currently it is most downloaded by the military. yaroslav movchan and orest pona saw how the application works. ilya, a native of kyiv, practices exercises with a shooting simulator in the building of the former factory. he holds an ak training machine gun in his hands. a young man listens to a voice from an application in the smartphone and actions according to its instructions. conviction, i think this thing is very cool, but you have to start first in a shooting range with an instructor so that he works on his

skills. or that person who wants to master the shooting business, only then, as homework, exclusively work at home with the application, everything is clear there, do and repeat, you are simply shown how to do it, and from which he asks to be called fox, under this he is known by his name among his teammates from airsoft, the young man had no idea what trackball skills will be needed in real life, in the early days: he signed up as a volunteer for self-defense, with a weapon in hand, stood up to defend his city, since then he has not stopped training. the examination must be performed by turning the head so as to examine all 90° sides inaccessible to peripheral vision. come on, let's go, wrote the sixth. the airsoft player practiced his first basics of handling weapons, in particular in this shooting range, but

now. oleksandr gusarov, co-founder of the drill application, is a frequent guest here. shooting range rents every time he returns from the front, he usually trains in military ammunition, in the one in which he fights, why, why do they advise, someone thinks that this is training, when you train in the team, it’s some guys there, that you bought something there , yes, you want to show, the tab changes a lot, you have to quickly reset there, yes. find your aiming point and work out, there are plates, ceramic, that is , it is there, well, 4 kg, yes, there is a bka, in general, for training there are enough two totals, a reset bag, two stores, now it is at oleksandr’s husarov's nickname is zeus, he says, he took this name from his favorite computer game, which his hero oleksandr went to defend in the first days of the war.

then there were bahmud, kharkiv and zaporizhzhia sections of the front. who knows rihiv district. even on the eve of the great war, he fell asleep as an office worker. until february 24, i am the technical director of forbes ukraine. well, i had several it startup projects, but until february 24, i had nothing to do with military affairs at all, except that once i was at the institute, i graduated from the military department, and i am also considered a reserve officer, a military psychologist by specialty, but i was never going to fight, i was not going to do anything like that. oleksandr clarifies that he studied marksmanship even before the war, and his fitness application helped him in this, even today. before

shooting, he will practice exercises from a video simulator. will have a look. mobile application drill is a joint project of oleksandr and igor. oleksandr does not reveal the initials of his partner, because he is currently on the first line of defense, in 2014 ihor defended the eastern part of ukraine from the so-called militia. after after the injury, he returned to civilian life as a bettor. let's meet alexander. forced them to think about how not to lose physical form. koronavis, you can't go to the shooting range , yes, well, we remember all these when there was a lockdown, and we decided to make an application for short-barreled weapons so that you could train, this is the formation of a one-handed grip, take-out of the working area, inspection.

oleksandr's exercises in tire are monitored by a professional instructor, a former paratrooper on the pseudo makost says that even such experienced shooters as zeus start classes with him routine instruction. the training begins with us signing off on safety measures, the first rule is for each weapon... even if you are sure that the weapon is unloaded, and the second rule is that we put our finger on the hook only when we are going to fire , a mobile application with cases for shooting dvil is free, the vast majority of its users are military, launched, it is clear that initially in ukraine, because they wanted first of all...
