from the center for army, conversion and disarmament research was on radio liberty, we talked about the reasons for valery zaluzhny's resignation, radio liberty also asked the people of kyiv how they felt about zaluzhny's resignation and the appointment of general oleksandr syrskyi to the position of commander-in-chief, here we will show their answers. how did you feel about replacing general zaluzhnyi with general syrskyi? negatively, of course, zaluzhny enjoys the well-deserved respect of ukrainian society. they don't change horses at the crossing, i don't think that if they replaced the hard worker, it will happen it's better, no, well, i think you need to observe a little, because that's probably how you draw conclusions, i'm not a professional soldier, if you don't know, you shouldn't make theories, because it's always easy to fuel them without knowing the facts, what you hear from the guys, what can it be... high

probability of meat assaults with syrsky and so on. probably useful, it is such a reference point with which we passed the beginning of the war. well, i think the reasons can be different, because someone says that this is the policy of our president, it is possible to promote your people a little, but maybe something at the front didn't go quite as planned. absolutely bad consequences for zelensky. he was given very bad advice on this, i believe. he shouldn't have done that, especially now, i was alarmed by such a change, besides, i know that western figures , they were good to the hard-working, so let's see, i'm just an average person, so you have to divide by 100 what i say, but it seems to me that the reasons are still political, because the support of the hard-working is much higher than the support of the current president. say what do you know anything about general syrsky, his achievements at the front? yes, it is quite well known. figures in the modern war, and

during the liberation of kharkiv oblast, and during the heavy battles near bakhmut, and i saw a lot of this man in the headquarters, on the front lines, on every occasion , well, our people showed it, so i think that he uses cor with respect to the troops, well , i know that regarding the defense in the kyiv region, the military who took part have an ambiguous point of view regarding the participation of sirskyi. it was thanks to him the defense, or on the contrary, it was thanks to him patriotism of people who were at the front and in opposition to the command. i don't think that a hard worker will leave, he will be offered a better job, where he did better, and at some stage he was needed and the army needed him, if for some reason he was fired, there were some good reasons for it, it's not his fault. we are in these difficult times,

who to condemn, who to idealize, as they say, an army is an army, and the less we talk about it, the more our victory will be resounding. well, one more topic for today, russian president vladimir putin stated that the russian federation did not achieve its goals in the war against ukraine. putin said this during an interview with takar carlson. one of the most popular american tv presenters, who at the same time is often called the american solovyov, in particular for spreading conspiracy theories on the air. the interview lasted more than two hours, carlson promised to ask putin sharp questions on the eve of the conversation so that the americans, they say, would get a real idea of ​​the war in ukraine. instead, putin gave carlson a lecture where he traditionally gave his opinion the vision, the actual vision of historical processes, is nothing new for the ukrainian audience, but carlson never once asked putin about war crimes. we have not yet achieved

our goals in ukraine, because one of them is denazification, which means banning all kinds of neo-nazi movements, we need to get rid of those people who leave this theory and practice in their lives and try to preserve it. this is what denazification is. you know, during the negotiations in istanbul, we still agreed that there would be no cultivation in ukraine neo-nazism in particular, it will be prohibited at the legislative level. this, as it turned out, can be done during the negotiation process. takar carlson specially flew to moscow for this conversation. according to him, he stayed in the kremlin for 5 hours, and the russian president was two hours late for the meeting. pro-kremlin publications called this interview the main event of the world, and pro-kremlin media recorded carlson's every move: here he is in auchan, here he is tasting a burger on the network of delicious and full stop, here he is in the theater. visited, in short, the entire campaign

after moving carlson to moscow became a separate meme in social networks. well, seriously, in fact, this is the first major conversation between the russian president and a western journalist since the beginning of the... large-scale invasion. why now? as the wall street journal notes, the conversation came at a critical moment, when billions of dollars to help ukraine were stuck in the us congress due to internal political disagreements. while russian troops are advancing on the battlefield, and the armed forces of ukraine are suffering from an acute shortage of ammunition and weapons. low political observers are inclined to believe that this interview is an attempt by the kremlin to sow doubts in american society regarding further support. ukraine, did putin succeed, did the kremlin succeed, and how did the usa react to this interview? maryana budzherin, a senior researcher at the harvard kennedy school's belfer center, joins our broadcast. good evening. good day. good afternoon, i think

we have another fragment of this interview, exactly where putin discusses the american subpoena. i think we will show now and then let's continue the conversation. usa this conflict, why? it is thousands of miles away from your territory. you have other problems on the border with immigration, with a national debt of over $33 trillion. don't you have anything to do? wouldn't it be better to come to an agreement with russia, understanding the current situation, that russia will fight for its interests to the end and return to common sense, start respecting our country and its interests, and seek a solution. i think it is much more reasonable. and more rationally. maryana, look at how he actually addressed putin american audience. however, according to the representative of the us national security council, john kirby, he said that it is unlikely that putin somehow managed to force the americans to change their minds. do you agree or what do you think? you know, well, first of all, it's hard,

it's hard to understand and it's hard to understand what kind of impact such an interview can have, but in my opinion, i think those... both government officials and the us population who tend to support ukraine , obviously, this will not convince them, and those who are inclined, as if, already have doubts, or are already convinced that it is not in interests of the united states, to support ukraine, i think that they do not need additional evidence, since both society and american politics are extremely polarized . especially now when it comes to the presidential race, well we 're actually in the middle of the presidential race right now, so i don't think that this interview is going to have any major impact on the decision-making process,

including in congress , where this draft law on aid to ukraine, ukraine and israel, i... i also want to point out that you mentioned the campaign, donald trump recently, i think late last year, said that he would consider running for tucker carlson as vice president if he were to become president, and in view of this, a number of assumptions appeared, and whether donald trump was involved in the implementation of this interview, whether he persuaded carlson to go to moscow to record this interview, what do you think about it, what do you think, and maybe they say something about it in the american ones political experts? circle? well, more than what you mentioned, i don't know personally, i kind of doubt that this was an overture for carlson to somehow improve his chances for nominations, say, for this

vice presidential nomination of some kind, i i don't know, and it's, well, at the moment it's just guesswork, so to speak, yes, there's no confirmation, but for... carlson, who was fired from fox news, from a huge network, a huge, well, mass media like that, it is obvious that he has to do something, he has his own base, yes, his followers who watch him on youtube, now, and this was a huge event for him, it was a way for him to spread or even maintain his popularity. of some significance and relevance, that is , i think that here tucker carlson is primarily doing pr for himself, not so much for donald trump, well, this is just my personal guess. you mentioned that

this interview could not change the mood in american society very much, who supported ukraine will be supported by those who do not , it is unlikely that this will change anything, but in general, what does the american press write about this? what do they pay attention to? well, you know, the american press just notes what happened, what happened, they first of all... discuss this thread, so some of the statements of putin himself, try to analyze what was actually said, obviously the conclusions are that putin's goals have not changed in ukraine, that this will continue to be a war for the destruction of ukraine, as putin noted, that he has such a painful, absolutely a perverted idea. the history of both russia

and ukraine, yes, that is, this is proof that nothing has really changed, what will be the conclusions for this, let's say, among even, well, the american powers that be, who are now in power, well, you have to see, because really this political fever, the time of the presidential race. he is not the best, not the best for ukraine. i will also note, i will quote literally, but putin says in an interview, wouldn't it be better to negotiate with russia, well, he is addressing the americans, to come to an agreement, understanding the situation that is developing, understanding that russia will fight for its interests to the end, well , if he alluded to some kind of agreement, to negotiations, what is it from your point of view , it is just some kind of stream of consciousness, so is it some very specific signals to washington, to the white house about readiness to... well, first of all, what does this mean? this means that he does not consider

ukraine a party to negotiate with, right? he believes that ukraine is a kind of puppet, and in fact decisions are made by ukraine, or for ukraine, in washington, yes, because ukraine is not, it is not a player. second, yes, he pointed out quite strategically here now. there are a lot of conversations, i hear, i hear conversations about the fact that it is necessary to come to an agreement, because it will take a long time, and ukraine will not be able to win back, even among those who support ukraine and who want to see victory, but it practically does not look like the fact that ukraine will be able to win back these lands, and since it cannot, why continue this dispute, let's somehow come to an agreement, but i hope that these people also... see that, that in other parts of the interview it is quite clearly

stated that he simply won't leave this country like that, well, on which to agree on what , that he will be able to simply swallow this country whole, that's also, i hope that's it it is clear in washington that this is not in the interests of the united states, so, well, it is difficult to navigate here, it is difficult to navigate, let's say. what specific impact will it even have on those who support ukraine, and i still think and hope that they will take it and take it for what it is such a clean coin is rather proof that putin's goals have not changed, so his proposals are actually in between. how to end the war on such terms that ukraine

ceases to exist, that's his proposal, i don't think that anyone here will go directly to it, but it's just for our audience to summarize it like this, that we, in principle, that it is important for ukraine, from this interview, from this event, that it came out just at the moment when the issue of aid to ukraine has not yet been resolved in washington in the congress, and we will, of course, monitor it. thank you very. maryana budzherin, a senior researcher at the harvard kennedy school's belfer center, was on rfe/rl. we talked about the consequences of takar carlson's interview with vladimir putin for the united states and american society. thank you very much. we have everything for today. i encourage you to like this broadcast. in this way, you will support our work and support independent journalism. in general. and svoboda live will return to the air on monday. there are

12-year-old andrii myroshnychenko and svyatoslav volchasty and 14-year-old anatoly ilyashenko. all these boys disappeared in the temporarily occupied territories of the kherson region, and no one knows where they are now. so i really hope for your help. first of all, i am addressing the residents of the temporarily occupied territories of the kherson region. i know. what do you have now are not broadcast by ukrainian tv channels, but i hope that maybe you are watching this program on social networks, so please look carefully at the faces of the children. andriy moroshnychenko. he turned 12 last december. the boy looks his age, he is thin and has light blond hair. he was last seen in february 23

on the left bank of the kherson region in the village of velyki kopani. sviatoslav chasny, he should be 13 years old in march, he is of medium build and has blond hair, the boy disappeared in february 22 in the territory henichi district of kherson region, which was occupied almost from the first days of the war. and this is anatoly ilyashenko. he turned 14 at the end of last year. the boy is thin, has dark hair and brown eyes. looks maybe a little older than his age. tolya was last seen. in the village of baltazarivka is the chaplin district of the kherson region, which was also occupied almost at the beginning of the full-scale war. if suddenly someone has information about the possible whereabouts of andriy, svyatoslav or anatoly, or maybe just saw these guys somewhere, let us know right away. even a small piece of news can become very important.

you can call the magnolia child tracing service at any time of the day by dialing the short number 116. zero rates from all ukrainian mobile operators are free, if suddenly you are in the temporarily occupied territory and cannot call, write to the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram, or find us on facebook. i have told you the stories of just three children who disappeared due to a full-scale russian invasion. in general, from since the beginning of the war, we have already received several thousand appeals for help in the search. of course , mostly more... children were found and now everything is fine with them, but unfortunately, the fate of many still remains unknown, anyone can help find them, believe me, you can do it with just a minute of your time. go to the website of the magnolia children's search service in the "missing children of ukraine" section. here you can view all the photos of the missing. perhaps you

will recognize someone and eventually help find them. at the same time , children are also disappearing in territories controlled by ukraine, as it shows experience of magnolia's child tracing service, the vast majority of them are teenagers. we talked about this topic with a psychologist and collected a lot of tips for parents that... can prevent a child from suddenly running away from home, one of them is the importance of involving children in solving family issues. involve the child in the development of the family budget, in solving some problematic issues, because sometimes we make some decisions, and these decisions are difficult, difficult, we ourselves are very worried and worried about it, and the child is only informed about the result, and she takes it as a personal insult. well, for example, the child was expecting. a new phone , but due to some family events we don't have the money for it, and instead of explaining to make a decision together with the child, how and in what we can save, and when we can still

save money for that new phone, we just bring her this idea that there won't be a phone, how then we are perceived, well, as an enemy who just wants to destroy the whole peaceful life of the child, to break all the dreams and so on, and if she knew the whole process, and if she participated... in the discussion, and if her voice was important and she could say, let's save a little here, here i am ready to give up something for the sake of it, she would feel her complicity in the family budget, in planning, she felt that she was important, and what could be better in life than feeling important.

you are watching the program of the ukrainian voice of america chas time. my name is maria olyanovska. congratulations. the senate continues to discuss the aid package for ukraine and others partners lawmakers are expected to sit late. evening, this was announced today by senate majority leader democrat chuck schumer. for his part , republican leader mitch mcconnell emphasized the need to continue helping ukraine and stated that it is in the direct interests of the united states. according to mcconnell, the bill already has proposals introduced by republicans who are asking that it strengthen the scrutiny of aid and require a clearer strategy on ukraine from the biden administration. yesterday, the senate removed the first major procedural hurdle to a vote for additional aid. this was an important first step. we are now resuming the discussion of proposals. if we cannot

agree on a time, we will hold the next vote to proceed at approximately 7pm today. but i hope that our republican colleagues will work with us to reach agreement on amendments so that we can move forward. democrats are willing to consider reasonable amendments, and we haven't... demonstrated that once, however, the senate will continue to work on this bill until the job is done. many of our colleagues have worked diligently on this legislation, which counters russian aggression against the west, terror against israel and american forces supported by iran, and china's growing aggression. the result of this work eliminates significant shortcomings of the president's original request, for example, thanks to the republican senate, the document requires the president to outline the strategy and specific goals of our support for ukraine. it also transfers $4 billion directly

budget support to kyiv for investments in security. and he fully finances the special inspector in ukraine. it would expand the already unprecedented scrutiny of american aid. in order to vote on the bill, senators must first hold a debate and pass a series of amendments. after that, the bill. the house of representatives should also consider. in washington, president joe biden met with german chancellor olaf scholz. a german politician flew to the us to discuss support for ukraine. he has previously voiced concerns about delays international assistance to ukraine in resisting russian aggression and emphasized that the efforts of individual countries, and germany in particular , will not be enough if europe and america do not act unitedly. we will ask yuli yarmolenko about the details of the german chancellor's visit, who is joining us from tell me, please, is it known what the german chancellor wants to achieve during the meeting between the two leaders? you know, maria, olaf scholz arrived

at the... meeting with joe biden without delay, literally two minutes before the scheduled time the time of the meeting, and indeed this meeting is important because he arrives in washington at a rather turbulent and uncertain time, uncertain as to whether america will be able to maintain its leadership in supporting and continuing aid to ukraine. the day before, at the white house, john kirby said that in fact , the ways in which the west can continue to provide uninterrupted aid to ukraine will be one of the ... of the leading topics. and olaf scholz, the day before he arrived in washington, he first of all hosted a dinner for a bipartisan group of senators and with republicans and democrats. and after this meeting, he said this morning that he still hopes that aid to ukraine will be approved, no matter how many rounds of voting and no matter how many options it takes. however, heather conley, she's the director of the german foundation of the marshall fund here in washington, she thinks that after all, olaf

scholz... in the meeting with joe biden, he's going to try to find out if joe biden has a plan b in case congress does not will be able to approve additional funding for ukraine. olaf scholz himself, on his way to washington at the airport, said that he believes that even if everything goes according to plan, both europe and the united states should do more to help ukraine. let's listen. we know that ukraine is really defending itself with everything it has, but it needs support to... continue to do so and what has been promised so far in europe is still not enough, even with the decision of the us congress, so we have to find a way to do more together. the european union recently decided that scholz did not fly to washington empty-handed the decision to pay ukraine 50 billion euros by 2027, and scholz actively promoted it himself and called it a good signal for the united states. if the situation with american

aid does not come out of the impasse now , will germany take on the role of leader in supporting ukraine? of course, maria olaf scholz will emphasize here in washington how much the europeans continue to help ukraine, and this actually in this way neutralizes the criticism that sometimes comes from the capitulist hill, when some legislators say that europe is not doing enough, so olaf scholz actually comes to show that europe is doing its part, and now expects the same from the united states, as to whether nime can... do more, certainly can, we see that lev scholz, himself said about it , the experts we spoke with believe that germany could provide tauros long-range missiles and not wait for some signal from the united states for the united states to provide more attacks, after which only germany would go to provide the tauris, and olaf scholz himself, when he was talking about it just a few days ago question, he said, would be a disaster

if the united states is not up to. could ukraine, did not extend their aid, and germany should have taken the lead, because no matter how much aid the europeans give, american leadership is important. nico lange , who we talked to this morning, he's an analyst at the center for european policy analysis and also at the munich security forum, he thinks that actually, if that's the case, if congress can't approve some sort of assistance, maybe two leaders could come up with another plan, maybe the europeans... could use the money they've already approved for ukraine to buy american weapons, again, this is just speculation, but here's what he told me about whether germany could fill the gap, which would have been formed if the united states had not helped. if germany could fill the gap, and if the europeans could, then scholz would not fly to washington, sit down with macron, tusk and others and they would develop

a plan. what to do next, unfortunately, so far there is no initiative, i believe that this is currently very lacking in the european security policy. i think over time this will become a bigger subject of discussion as the military situation in ukraine will become more and more complex, especially in the eastern part of the front. the europeans have already lost their chance when it comes to industrial capacity and ramping up production, so it's likely that if congress doesn't approve the aid, whether it can be used is up for debate. money for the purchase of american ammunition and equipment from industrial partners in the united states, so that transfer them to ukraine. because i believe that more and more europeans have the problem of having money but no productive capacity. and of course, another topic of conversation between olaf scholz and joe biden will be the topic of...
