with a poster and called on putin to intervene in the situation, this is such an example of supporters of anti-ukrainian parties and pro-russian parties in poland, of course, and this is actually a very big trouble for the protesters themselves, what they allowed to themselves, to their protest, which makes sense, which we can say it is for a good cause, because they are simply fighting for their cause, for their own interests, but they have done a great deal of damage.

actions on the polish-ukrainian border and the consequences that these events may lead to. thank you. the united states of america injects more than 500 new sanctions against russia, according to the statement of us president joe biden, published on the website of the white house. as mentioned, the sanctions are introduced both in connection with the second anniversary of the war in ukraine and in connection with the death of the russian opposition leader oleksiy navalny. sanctions will be aimed at people involved in

navalny's detention in the colony, as well as at the russian financial sector, the defense-industrial complex, and people who evade the imposition of sanctions. the goal is for russian president volodymyr putin paid an even greater price for his aggression against ukraine and repression inside the country, biden said. by the way, the day before, biden met with navalny's widow and his daughter at the white house. what does this mean, is this meeting just sympathy, we will also talk about it literally in a minute with a political scientist. well, a. we will also touch on the topic of american aid to ukraine. the house of representatives returns from vacation next week, and ukraine hopes that soon after that a bill will be voted on, which, among another, provides aid for ukraine. in his interview for fox news , volodymyr zelenskyi said that dialogue with the us is a priority for him and that ukraine needs this help more than ever. will ukrainians survive without

the support of congress? of course, but not all, and if we understand this price, if the world is ready for it, okay, you will see it, but this is a tragedy, a tragedy for all of us, not only for ukraine. putin will pass through eastern europe. serhii kudelya, professor of political science at baylord university, joined our broadcast, good evening. good evening. tives of help now you see if there is even the slightest guarantee that after congressmen return from vacation, they will vote for aid for ukraine. well, you see that the context of this vote changes somewhat, you talked about the murder of oleksii navalny and the visit of his wife, his daughter, to washington, the meeting with joe biden, all this adds pressure on... those

republicans who hesitated in the chamber representatives, and there are enough republicans, and here it is important to note that there is actually a majority in the house of representatives in order to... support bill on providing new military support to ukraine. that majority is made up of some democrats, the overwhelming majority of democrats who support it, and about half of the republican coconut. and until now, the problem was that it was difficult to divide the republicans into these two camps, and donald trump, who can obviously be the presumptive presidential candidate from. of the republican party, he directly pressured key players in the republican party and demanded that they effectively from supporting this draft law, but the events that happened in the last week

are connected not only with the murder of oleksiy navalny, but also with the way the russian authorities behave in relation to the family of oleksiy navalny and refuse. to provide access to his body, all this, it seems to me, creates additional prerequisites for those republicans who, in principle, consider it necessary to continue to oppose the putin dictatorship, and for this part of the republicans to bow down and unite with the democrats in support this draft law, so it seems to me that in the last week the chances of the adoption of this draft law are increasing somewhat. you have described such a scenario. because i also had to hear that allegedly the democrats began to prepare for a possible procedure, the implementation of a procedure that allows you to vote by-passing speaker johnson, maybe there is another option, but it, too, i understand , can be quite long, yes, this mechanism

has practically never been used in the history of american democracy, so it is very difficult predict how it will take place, it seems to me that the members of the house of representatives themselves do not fully ... understand how it should be implemented, but it also requires the support of the republicans, so the division of the republicans is necessary in any case, and for this, i it seems that these additional pretexts and informational ones are being created, which help, emphasize the need to confront russia, what effect volodymyr zelenskyi's fox news interview had, because for the ukrainian authorities. always from the start of a virtually full-scale war it was important to address the audience of fox news, because they are mostly republicans, they are mostly skeptical of the idea of ​​allocating money to ukraine, and the background and context is also important, namely putin's interview with takar carlolson, whether

zelensky succeeded in interrupting, in particular, putin's narratives in this interview, well , to convince the american society in general, which was critical, critical , to convince and incline to the side of ukraine. well, first of all, i want to emphasize that american society is not critical of in relation to ukraine, i mean that part of the republicans who support, for example, the same donald trump, who says, let's borrow there or somehow postpone it? i understood, well, that part of the republicans who support donald trump, they make up about 25% of the total number of voters, yes, that is, trumpists, that is what is meant. trumpists who refuse to consider other candidates are 25-30%, this is a significant part, that is, one should not underestimate the importance of these people, but it is clearly not the majority of americans, the last survey , conducted in january 2014, sorry, in january 24, last month,

shows that approximately 60% of americans consider it necessary to increase the volume of military aid to ukraine, approximately 25. 30% believe , that this aid should be reduced, that is, in principle, there is still support in american society. the problem is that fox news, he, first of all, his audience is exclusively republicans, and secondly, those who watch fox news are not trumpists, because fox news is actually has become more of a mouthpiece for such a traditional part of the republican party with the departure of tucker carlsen. and parts of journalists, there are actually two main only important such journalists who use, who are connected in some way with the wing of donald trump, and in general, fox interview fox news, i think, will not provide

any wide, will not receive any wide publicity, and another problem is that the part of the trumpists who are against the granting of the dpo do not listen to the voices from ukraine, they do not listen to zelensky, they eavesdrop even on american politicians, who... from the side of the democrats explain the need for support, they are exclusively focused on their information channels, information sources and on those individuals who enjoy their authority, and therefore, unfortunately, it is difficult to reach them now at this point it's going to be extremely difficult, you know, i was reading a column today by william mcgurn, a member of the editorial board of the wall street journal, he wrote a column precisely on the subject of war, on the subject of aid, and he stated the following thing: that in fact , neither biden nor trump, none of them, although one says that you should support this and vote

for aid, the other says: you don’t need to give money, give a loan or something else, but none of them give the american people and the american society to understand what exactly the usa wants in relation to ukraine, do you agree with this statement? yes, i absolutely agree, and that's unfortunately one of the reasons why the republican position, the position... the republicans are hard to get through with arguments and they say that biden has never explained what victory over russia will look like and how this victory can be achieved, and when he says that our support will be unlimited in time, it only excites that part of the republicans and part . of american society, who believe that it is not necessary to spend a lot on some kind

of support for foreign countries, but that we should first of all focus on our own problems, and there is a significant part of the voters who believe that, he does not associate victory over russia in ukraine with the future of the united states, and that's it... what the average american is really interested in is how a victory for ukraine, ukraine over russia, will help increase the security, the sense of security, of americans in the immediate, immediate, or long-term future. i understand you, and i have one last question, we have literally two minutes, but we already mentioned that the day before , biden met with the widow of oleksii navalny, with his daughter. tell me, please, but from your point of view, what was this about... because, well, it's hardly just about sympathy, in other words, does this mean that

the united states has finally decided on a leader in this case, the leader of the russian opposition, and will, well, if you want to put it roughly, bet on her? and the reaction of the white house to the presidential elections, the so-called presidential elections in march, will be indicative, and i think that if the white house refuses to recognize the presidential elections... and this will be a key turning point, after which the opposition and personalities like yulia navalna and other representatives of the russian opposition abroad, will be able to get more serious international recognition and will position themselves as representatives of the new russia, but if they, if the united states recognizes these elections and recognizes president putin as a legitimate president, unfortunately... these meetings will not have much significance, it it’s just like, well, i

don’t know, maybe how to compare with svitlana tykhanovskaya, there is a very conditional leader of the opposition, well, only that svitlana tykhanovskaya took part in the presidential elections, this is a key difference, and there is a key in this the difference is, but there are every reason not to recognize the elections in russia now, just as they did not recognize the elections in belarus. in the past thank you very much for your comment. serhii kudelya, professor of political science at baylor university, was on rfe /rl. thank you. we have everything for today. i encourage you to subscribe to the pages of radio liberty on the internet, in social networks, instagram, telegram, facebook, twitter, viber. and also like this broadcast. in this way, you will support our work and support independent journalism in ukraine. i'll see you on monday.

dmytro lepkin. he will be 13 years old in april. the guy lives. on the left bank of the kherson region in the village of yuvileyne and disappeared in february 23rd. during all this time , there was no news about dmytro. no one knows where he might be now. that is why your help is important. look carefully at the photo and remember dmytro lepkin's face. if you know any information about him, call us immediately on the hotline for short number 11630. i remind you that calls from any ukrainian mobile operator are free. if suddenly there is no mobile connection, write to the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram. believe me, even a small clue can become very important. i also want to remind you that we are continuing the search for 17-year-old serhiy samoilov. he disappeared in the donetsk region in the city of mariupol. his mother said that on

the very first day of the war, life in the city became unbearable and the situation rapidly worsened with each passing hour. the family hid in the basement during the bombings, but the shelling was far away not the only problem of mariupol residents. there was no internet, light, water, we even drank technical water from a technical tap, then only the police, well, the whole family ate everything, he couldn’t drink, it was very difficult for us to eat, to be honest, there were all the shops looted, no lift, nothing, we are just clean. in spite of all the horrors, the lack of internet was what bothered 15-year-old serhiy samoilov the most, which is why the boy wanted to leave mariupol. he was very interested in computers, studied programs there, asked to develop them them, created a server, and why did he actually leave the house, yes,

there was no connection or internet at home, it is clear that there were problems with water, there were already problems with food, he gathered. in the direction of pokrovsk. serhii planned to go to his mother's acquaintance in pokrovsk. this is also the donetsk region, approximately 200 km from mariupol. but the boy's family did not dare to leave the house. therefore , serhii went alone. it happened on march 6 at 4:00 pm. grandma and i didn't let him go, because we were shooting around a lot. well, to be honest, we didn't really need it then there was nothing to eat or drink, it was very scary. he took a backpack with him, there was a computer in it, he dressed the way young people dress, he said: "seryozha, come on, i thought he would walk around the house and come back." and the earring left the house, when he left, i already understood what we had done with my grandmother, we did not hold him back. at the moment , only one thing is known: serhii never got to pokrovsk, the boy did not

return home either, and no one knows where he is now. sergey's mother still lives in mariupol and does not lose hope. to look for his son, meanwhile serhiy's father, who has been living separately for a long time and is now in the territory controlled by ukraine, is doing everything possible to find serhiy, in particular, he turned to the ombudsman's office. i understand that they want to contact that side, and find out if there is any information on that side, because a lot of children were being taken to russian territory at that time. it is possible that the boy was taken to russia, but it cannot be ruled out. that he is still somewhere in donetsk region, so i appeal to the residents of the temporarily occupied territory, who may see this program in social networks look carefully at the photo of the child. if... if anyone knows where serhiy might be, don't delay. dial the short number of the magnolia children's search service 11630 from any mobile operator . calls to the hotline are free. if

suddenly there is no connection and it is not possible to call, write to the chat-bot of the child search service in telegram. any information is important. we have created a resource through which you can report any crime against a child. in any city, in any time, just go to the site and report, and we will launch all possible mechanisms to punish the criminal. stopcrime ua. he left crimea in 2014, saves ukrainian soldiers in a hospital in lviv. hryhoriy prokhorenko, leading surgeon of the military medical clinical center of the western region. until march. in 2014 , he served in sevastopol, and when the russian aggression began, he remained loyal to ukraine. we met with the command of the russians, well

, with their doctors, the head of the medical service, i don't know what the group is called, well, it was bigger than crimea, so i think it was the southern district or something, but there was a georgian colonel, and... when we talked with them, he said that, in principle, the situation was similar to the one that existed during the collapse of the union, when everyone chose a side , for which he will serve in the future and where he will stay, ukrainians in ukraine, russians in russia or vice versa, and then i was simply asked in conversation how he would behave if such a situation happened with precision, but on the contrary, we he was offered to go over to the side of ukraine, he remained silent and more conversations on this topic. there were no russians denied their participation in those events

, then there were their tamnets, yes, there were little green men, but, well, we had security at the checkpoint, we did not have the opportunity to take some equipment, equipment and so on, to russian. yes, well, i understand that they were russian servicemen, but without identification marks, we were not able to take away any laparoscopic racks, computers, or tomographic machines, but i had a chair with me , and i hung it up. after the beginning of russian aggression in crimea, military doctors dispersed to hospitals in different cities of ukraine. hryhoriy prokhorenko continued his service in lviv. we simply expanded our arsenal, well, that is, if we performed, let's say , laparoscopic appendectomies or chalicystectomies. in peacetime, they began to introduce laparoscopy in military trauma, i.e. vascular surgery, traumatology, severe wounds with damage

to soft tissues, i.e. they needed a review of tactics, i.e. the use of fixation devices, the material base improved, i.e. new research methods appeared ultrasound devices, portable ultrasound devices. endoscopic examinations, x-rays, digital x-rays, which allowed taking pictures, receiving images on the spot, one could have the opportunity to consult them with specialists, let's say, being in a mobile hospital, those in the center or in kyiv. there are constant evacuations. to us , from us, these are new patients, new wounds that need to be examined, researched, helped to operate, and these operations are not the same as

for pendicitis, you operated, discharged, these are staged surgical treatments that are constantly you need to repeat, reassess the situation, reassemble the same vacuum systems, look for debris, but traumatologists have it as debris. ram, it is work with stumps , it is work with stomachs, breasts and so on, that is , one patient, he, unfortunately, does not have the opportunity to recover from one surgical intervention, this is a set of measures that must be carried out in order to stabilize and enable to get this wounded man on his feet. all efforts on the part of the wounded and surgeons and nurses and all the staff, they gave their positive the result is back. there is a boy who

came to us at the beginning of the 22nd year, with an amputated limb, with a severe wound in the abdomen, and we fought with complications from the abdomen for quite a long time, then he went through a long path for prosthetics, this is the upper third of the thigh, this is quite high, but now he has a biomechanical prosthesis, he continues his service, he came to us now, we operated on him for a hernia. ot, which developed after surgical interventions on the stomach, and he is very motivated to serve, and he does not plan to stop his work in the army. it used to be that surgeons worked 24x7, well, in principle, it continues now.

especially those surgeons who are now directly near the contact line in the east , there is really work there, you don't have time to rest, you don't have the opportunity to go out, firstly , it's dangerous, and secondly , a situation can arise at any moment when your help will be needed, so these guys and girls work literally every second. there were several mobile hospitals under my command of a surgical focus, that’s what it was, that it was both practical work and, again , organization and rotations, evacuations, admissions of seriously ill patients, provision of this or that, that ’s personnel policy, again, that is... and this is

life in cages, help , which is provided in mobile hospitals, it is of a high level, the modern equipment that we have here is often also in mobile hospitals, we are talking about x-ray complexes, we are talking about endoscopic racks, about laparoscopic equipment, about an artificial kidney, that is, about cell savers , which allow pick-up blood, filter it and give it again to the patient under certain conditions , stapling devices, modern suture material , instruments... vascular surgery, vascular surgery, again, traumatology, the difficulty is that, first of all, we have a lot of this work, and secondly , you never know what you will encounter, so

predicting the character... injuries are difficult, and when a difficult patient comes to you, you have a short time to orient yourself and not much time to help him, stabilize him, if we we are talking about her mobile hospitals , natural surgical teams, then helped, stabilized, evacuated, and this happens all the time, that is , this is the work here, ah... uh, they accepted patients, looked, and again, we are not able to them , to bring it to a logical conclusion, to remove the stitches, we have to stabilize them again, make sure that everything is more or less okay with them, and send him to other hospitals, someone comes, swears. well

, because he believes that he cannot serve, and according to our canons, he is suitable for military service services, someone comes with thanks, that's the most important thing, that they get in line, that's the greatest comfort for us. thanks to extensive experience in military surgery, hryhoriy prykhorenko's team was able to set up successful work in the hospital during the war, and thus save hundreds of lives... of our soldiers. khrystyna porubiy, nazar malnyk, espresso tv channel. the chas time program of the ukrainian voice of america service is broadcast from washington. i am yulia yarmolenko. congratulations. in the second
