to build a multi-layered air defense system to protect ukrainian cities, including ukrainian civilians. polesin assured that if putin or someone in the kremlin hopes that they will be able to hold out longer than the west and be able to play at exhaustion in this way, then the allies there are mistaken, as lloyd austin says, they will be unwavering in their support. let's listen. the kremlin's invasion is a direct offensive. after the second world war, it was difficult to achieve an international order that condemns aggression and protects the state sovereignty and supports man, the outcome of ukraine's struggle against putin's imperial aggression will help define global security for decades, and for principled people and prudent governments to stand aside while ukraine fights for its existence is not an option. ukraine will not surrender, and we will not surrender either. ostape, we heard from jake salevan that

there is no alternative to american... support for ukraine, and can european partners at least help bridge the gap created by the pause in american aid? julia, absolutely sure, and we heard it from the white house, from the pentagon , ultimately from our partners in europe, that to fully fill this need that has now arisen in the absence of assistance from the united states, european countries cannot, but they can help to reduce this gap itself, as you say, and somehow it will still provide some needs of ukrainians. they are talking about this, emmanuel macron spoke about this need, we heard statements from him, we also heard the words of olef scholz, literally these days, they are talking about the fact that now european countries should take on more responsibility, and more responsibility, first of all, to increase production , to put it on the rails of large-scale production, talking about ammunition, talking about other capabilities, to firstly help the ukrainian troops, and secondly, also to take care of our own security, if we have to to defend themselves, that's what european countries are talking about. sometimes they say more,

we know that indeed the lack of funding from congress also affects the defense capability of the united states, the ability to produce the necessary amount ammunition, the pentagon told us that they can now produce approximately 28,000 155-mm projectiles per month, while the plan was to produce approximately 70-80,000 such projectiles per month . the states are waiting for funding from... not only for ukraine, but also funding for the entire defense budget, so i expect that european countries, european partners will be able, if not to fully cover these needs, at least somehow help this fill the gap a hot topic in the us, house intelligence committee chairman mike turner has warned of a serious threat to national security based on intelligence released to some members of congress. do we know what this threat is? indeed, but this

news came before our air, this is the information that is rapidly developing, that what happened is that the chairman of the house intelligence committee , mike turner, released a rather unusual statement, where he said that he received intelligence data, intelligence questions that there are concerns that there is now a serious threat to national security, and that's basically the official information that we have at this point, and ... more information is coming out in the press, from reporters who are also talking to officials , what are the american media writing now? they write that this julio threat may be related, and rather related , to russia and may also have a relationship to new capabilities that russia has acquired and that the united states has become aware of, those capabilities that cause serious concerns about which capabilities i'm not talking about, but again i've seen messages from certain american media that may be about something like... related to space

development, asked julia today about this threat to national security, also jake sullivan, the adviser of national security of the united states, asked him if he could definitively answer that americans really have nothing to worry about, if he could reassure american citizens against the background of the news that appeared, so jake sullivan replied that it would be a shame to say yes, at this time he can't do that, but he didn't reveal what it was about, he said that a briefing for the prisoners is planned in the near future. for members of the us congress, i hope we will know more soon. ostap, thank you very much, we will continue to monitor this situation as well, it was my colleague ostap yarysh in contact with the pentagon. the fact that the russian fleet cannot operate in the black sea, as it will be replaced, as it was at the beginning of the war, indicates a fundamental change in the strategic position in the black sea region, as commented in the state department news about the destruction of the russian amphibious assault ship caesar kunikov. according to reports. of the armed forces of ukraine usada

together with the main intelligence directorate destroyed the ship, which at the time of the attack was in the territorial waters of ukraine near alupka. the ship was hit by drones of ukrainian production magur. one of the high-ranking officials of the state department in communication with journalists called such drone strikes a serious matter. he noted the creative and technologically advanced approach of ukrainians, as well as the help of allies and partners, thanks to which managed to change the balance of security in the black sea. the strike shows that russia cannot safely use the western part of the black sea, according to british military analyst michael clare clarke. luke coffey, a researcher at the hudson institute in the us, is convinced that the strikes on the russian toad-class ... vessels are a targeted tactic: these ships provide ferry services when the kerch bridge is damaged, when the last such ship is destroyed, coffey says, the karchon bridge will be next. what this operation demonstrates, too samuel bendet, an expert at the center

for naval analysis, told my colleague natalka churikova in a comment. this attack demonstrates the ability of cheap surface ships, such as those built by ukraine, to continue to attack... the russian navy. the attack also demonstrates the following concept. the ships attack at night, when visibility is very low, when several surface vessels converge on the same target. this attack also demonstrates the difficulty of countering such an attack, or the reluctance of the russian navy to do so, as the target ship did not have no significant countermeasures against ukrainian military boats. how to effectively oppose russia in the black sea? is it possible to force the russians to withdraw from crimea and how could the allies help ukraine? in an interview with my colleague andriy borys, the retired rear admiral of the ministry of internal affairs of the usa told about this. the key points are further. the battle for the black sea continues. despite the successes of the ukrainian navy in destroying a number of enemy ships

, russia continues maneuvers in the water area, threatening missile strikes on land and ports. how can one of them harm russia at sea? about this i spoke with a retired navy rear admiral. usa, joe diguardo. he has served in the navy for more than 30 years, has experience in missions in the persian gulf, and headed the expeditionary command of the naval forces. if you think about the security of any ecosystem, the key to that is understanding the movement of life, which is what i mean. take the black sea ports as an example. the more constant sensors in this environment that see and analyze what's happening every day, every hour, every minute, the better because... now you can identify anomalies, on which you will be able to react in time, so as to keep the territory safe. we are talking about a set of sensors and artificial intelligence-trained operators who understand what is happening. for this you need partners and allies. nato is a perfect example of how allies

cooperate in exchanging information in places where ukrainians have no potential. at the same time, in his opinion, western countries should change their approach to military tactics and learn from ukraine. the armed forces, he believes, brilliantly uses inexpensive unmanned systems to attack russian ships. the question arises how we want to convince those of us outside of ukraine to overcome our own bias towards using this kind of what some would say low-quality technology, when in fact, it is useful technology that is just massive. due to the losses of the black sea fleet, the russians were forced to take a significant part from sevastopol. their ships, and crimea will continue to be a threat to mainland ukraine. on the peninsula there are stocks of missiles capable of hitting the territory of ukraine. in an interview , the retired rear admiral answered the question, whether it is possible to de-occupy the peninsula, in particular with the use of landing forces. crimea is essentially

a coastal area, which includes shallow ports, harbors, river inlets and many obstacles. in fact, all approaches to military objectives to... are very difficult to overcome, here is a good example of the work of the united states marine corps and other similar coastal forces in the world, they skillfully transfer combat power from the sea to the coastal territory, for this , the simultaneity of the attack and its depth. you can't put all your combat power into one bridgehead, because it will be easy for the enemy to counterattack you, you will want to go deep into the enemy to gain a foothold and either support forward movement or block the wo. in the short term , it is unlikely to build and realize such a potential in ukraine, therefore, in this case, we cannot do without help from the outside. ukraine does not have the power to carry out an attack from the sea, then capture the enemy from other ground approaches, plus support from the air. despite

limited capabilities and the actual absence of a fleet, ukraine successfully fights against a strong one the enemy - says the retired american rear admiral. but for victory without outside support. can't get around andriy borys, voice of america. and we continue the topic of the black sea. turkey has joined forces with bulgaria and romania to clear the mines of the black sea, they contribute. ukraine's efforts to export grain to world markets. at the same time, turkey is also resisting the call to allow nato ships to work for demining the black sea. yuri mamon investigated the situation. in istanbul this month, turkey, bulgaria and romania signed an agreement on demining black the sea, in which many mines ended up due to the russian invasion of ukraine. several cargo ships have already been damaged. landmines are becoming an increasing threat to one of the most important. in the world of waterways for the export of grain and energy, because merchant ships

cannot detect these mines because they are half-submerged in water, and when they do, it is too late to save. analysts say that clearing the sea of ​​mines will be a significant boost to ukraine's efforts to export grain to world markets. russia withdrew from the grain agreement, which provided export of ukrainian grain. moscow is now threatening ukrainian. export, stating that it cannot guarantee the safety of the ships. at the same time, turkey hopes that improving the security of ukrainian ships can be an impetus for moscow to return to the grain agreement with ukraine. i hope that it is very profitable for the ukrainian side to export its grain. you remember that russia left it. on the other hand, perhaps russia will again sit down at the negotiating table. the turkish fleet has modern means of demining and supports romania and bulgaria. observers warn that the challenges facing nato allies are significant. the location and

number of sea mines are unknown and you must first detect them. it is necessary to search and neutralize, it takes time. great britain presented two of its anti-mine ships to ukraine, but turkey, referring to the international convention of montreux, has blocked the entry of all warships since the beginning of the war in ukraine. as a member of nato, turkey is trying to... balance its relations with the west, russia and ukraine, in return ukraine will be able to benefit from of the turkish-bulgarian-romanian agreement, bulgarian defense minister todor tagarev, who was on a visit to the usa, explained in an interview with voice of america. we will launch this operation to reduce the risks of accidental explosion and drifting sea mines, as well as preventing other risks, and it will definitely help ukraine in the right circumstances because... in this way, we can contribute to the freedom of navigation in the black sea, which important for ukraine's exports and

the stability of the ukrainian economy. yuri mamon, voice of america. and the end is about love. 14 valentine's day is celebrated around the world in february. during the full-scale war, some ukrainian couples made it. see each other only a few times, and some did not have the opportunity to meet at all, how do they keep the feeling of family at a distance and what ways do they find to preserve relationships during the war and support each other? in the story of iryna shinkarenko and anna tverdohlip. diana, hello, we also have winter now, the snowball is small. how are you doing? i love you and we you too, right? yes. seven-year-old

diana with her mother olya in the suburbs of washington watching videos from a dad and a husband from ukraine. they also filmed a video response for him. papa sent us, and now we will show you which one, how you ride. olya and diana do not know how long they will have to wait for the next answer from their father and husband. sometimes vyacheslav as serves in the armed forces of ukraine, may not be contacted for four days. it's just ours, the morning begins, i write to him, how are you, where are you, and so on, are you all right, are you not hungry, are you warm, are your clothes not wet, well, when maybe, then he answers, it is a great joy for me when i see a message, for me it is a great joy that i say, hooray, he finally wrote me, olga and diana left kyiv region after... the start of a full-scale war and now live in the usa. the family has been living in the format of messages and calls for almost two

years. and the last time i saw him was on march 6 , 2022 at the station, when he was seeing us off. when he went to serve in the armed forces, he mostly calls, i can write to him. that's it, when, when, let's say, he has it possibility. in 14 years of marriage , this is the first long separation between olga and her husband. they started. meet when we were both 18, we have a good relationship, a warm relationship, of course, that i miss very, very much, and my evening ends with me going to bed with... thoughts and i think about him, i think about my family, i very much want to return and be together, every evening there is also a good mood, it happens simply, when you scroll through all this and understand this whole situation, then everything happens, but i try not to cry, because tears are simply not easy you won't help, this

permanently constantly, that is, not that it is not that i am... constantly focused on thoughts about my daughter and wife, but it is like when you have some kind of rolled-up program on the computer that is constantly running, but you do not see it, that is, there is the constant awareness that they are there, just that they are far away. olga and vyacheslav say that after thousands of kilometers, they are kept together by trust, plans for the future and care for their daughter, as well as constant discussion in the mode of ... recorded videos about how they live in different parts of the planet, she is well done, she copes, and in fact the most important thing for me, when we communicate, is to understand that everything is fine with them, well, yes, apparently, the main format of maintaining a long-distance relationship is video calls, that is, we do not have a ticket there , a flower is not a candy for a ticket period in

the relationship, and somehow, well, i'm all for it. i am 100 % sure that the distance does not affect our relationship at all, although olya says that her husband does not like to talk a lot about his feelings, he finds ways to show his love, he gave his wife and daughter in the usa handmade gifts, he gave us such things as hearts for me and diana, so that we wear them and remember him, he also has such a product. while the families of olya, diana and vyacheslav only dream of a meeting, olena from kharkiv, who now lives in belgium, was able to see her military husband twice during the full-scale war, but she says, despite the warm relationship, during the first time in a year meeting, they had to get used to each other again. then, when we met a year later, i saw, i felt, but

the movements are different, but the hands are different, but there are more grimaces on the face. the look is different, and if he my relative, and on the other hand, a stranger next to me . the second meeting was even more difficult for the couple: it was too difficult for elena to let her husband go to the forefront again. when i told him that this vacation was very difficult for me, it was difficult, and morally it is probably easier not to meet, yes, he said that... yes, it is very difficult, but we have to, we have to overcome it, we we have to learn to live with it, because it's a family, but really, it's moral, it's very difficult to maintain relationships, says olena, volunteering helped her, we wear hats with buffs and then t-shirts in the summer, and firstly, in the winter, when

the man received the first 50 sets and... gave them to the guys who served in the same unit with him, then he says: "green caps everywhere", and i am surrounded by your love. psychologists who work with ukrainian families say that during the war, people in a couple go through completely different experiences, especially if they live in different countries, and many trials for such families are still ahead. after this temporary adaptation. to new conditions, there will be a stage of readaptation, so-called when necessary getting used to being together again is very difficult. the main thing is that psychologists advise not to lose contact and interest in each other's affairs. psychologists recommend immersing a man indirectly in everyday life, sending photos, videos, home, how food is prepared,

how to clean, what is being done there in the garden, what is with the children, how are the children doing. in this way , there will be an illusion of inclusion of husband and father in family life, and it does not matter whether it is west or east, our purpose is to fight properly, the acceptable length of separation for each couple own - psychologists believe, and the strength of a long-distance relationship depends mainly on the relationship in which the couple met the war and on the desire to preserve the family, because relationships in themselves. well, none of us planned to divorce like that, i am also separated from my husband because of the war, and for that you have to study. for many couples, the war became

a catalyst for relationships, many ukrainians officially divorced, but many, psychologists say, are able to go through a forced separation, if they do not hide their difficulties, turn to specialists, read books that are ukrainian psychologists have already published, based on the experience of working in war conditions. iryna shynkarenko, hanna tverdohlip, kostyantyn golubchyk, voice of america. and that 's the end of it. thank you for watching voice of america in ukrainian. tomorrow in the chaym program, we will talk in detail about what is happening on capitol hill. my colleague, kateryna lisonova , spoke with legislators from both parties to find out if there is a way to pass an important bill for ukraine in the house of representatives. see you tomorrow, on everything is fine, take care. pope.
