and dmitry pisov, journalists asked if the kremlin has anything to say to navalny's family on the day of his burial? no, nothing to say. on the day the catafalque brought the coffin with the body of oleksii navalny to the church, when the coffin was brought to the territory, the crowd chanted his name. navalny's parents came to the funeral, people who are not relatives or relatives of the politician, waited outside the territory of the church, and when... the throne was taken from there to the cemetery, the car of the ritual service was strewn with flowers, the crowd went from the church to the borisov cemetery. navalny's burial place, along the way people chanted, putin kill himself, putin kill himself.

at the farewell ceremony, they promised to let those willing to say goodbye one by one, who would have time to do so. until the cemetery closes. olga armyanyshina, radio liberty. and as of now , it is known that 45 detainees are known in russia, in all russian cities. ovdinfo writes about this in particular, but we can assume that this information will be updated. and volodymyr kryzhanivskyi, extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine to the russian federation, 1992-94 joins our broadcast years, actually the first ambassador. good evening.

good evening, we just heard that at navalny's farewell they shouted quite such harsh political slogans as it is possible for russia, it is not simple, putin is a murderer, someone even there shouted: "netvain", can you say that to some extent it was a political action, or even there an action of disagreement with the authorities, and were you surprised by the number of people who came to this farewell and what they shouted there? well, let's talk like this, if we talk about the number, then it is clear, it is impossible to compare with our maidans, but on the other hand, i will tell you that even now in such a tyrannical state, in which we are under the pressure of this terrible putin dictatorship, i believe that going out into the streets, even such... numbers of people this

is equivalent to a certain girlfriend, well, they couldn’t ban it at all, if they turned the day of farewell to him into a scene with a beating, well, it would simply surpass everything that we can expect from putin, so really these are the people who came, they have clearly revealed themselves... as people who are not agree with the policy of the state leadership, well, you yourself just noticed that, after all, the kremlin did not limit people very much in saying goodbye, and did not interfere much, because they could block roads, they could close the subway, they could to disperse people by force, but maybe the kremlin received some signals from the west, because we saw that ambassadors of international

western countries came to the event, well, of course, if ambassadors appear, it is extremely difficult, because, well, what to do with the ambassadors, this is absolutely not forbidden, there was a farewell, and that's why it's possible there was some way to prevent them from participating, and if the ambassadors are participating , well , don't you start dispersing people... if the ambassadors are around, of course they are, it's a very nice uh-uh thing on the part of the ambassadors, and i think it's to a certain extent, it contributed to the fact that the farewell was held in a normal atmosphere, and not in a state of some kind of, well, what is always done in russia, beatings, dispersal, but i will tell you frankly, people are afraid, people are afraid to go, and only very... necessary people can

come there, it's not a maidan after all, you remember, we used to cook in order to make the stay of students, they are very long, they are not immediately. they did it, and even more so the execution, you remember, my god, they were going for it for several months, here, well, you see, you see what you see, mr. ambassador, tell me, please, from your point of view , who will now receive the title of the number one oppositionist in russia, that's what navalny was called, and in general, does this matter in principle for putin's regime, because whether you are the number one oppositionist or the number two, in principle, it depends. the opposition doesn't decide much, you see, navalny was pretty good a non-standard figure, because he was not openly, it's not you, it's not gari kasparov, it 's not, well, others later, well, of course, it's not people who were in power before, that is, it's like

people, even appearances, well, such people who were deputies of the state duma and so on, but almost all of them are gone, that is, if someone remained... well, who is there, i don't even know if shenderovych is in the middle countries, well, bykov is, well , bykov is not the same figure , that is, if we speak seriously, i do not imagine any main positioner, and it is difficult to even imagine that this could become navalny's wife, as she became , you remember, in belarus, and why is it difficult for you to imagine, we, we saw that she also spoke in the european parliament, she is quite warmly received by western politicians, and in white... her joe biden accepted, why do you doubt? are we talking about how it will be received in russia or in the west? you see, in russia, you see, navalny was more of a serious figure, then, well,

and then, let's say this, after all, russia is more, well, it cannot be compared with western countries. in terms of of gender, so that a woman could lead a protest movement, even in belarus, it would seem that under a regime like lukashenko, it somehow looked different, but in russia, i don't see, i don't see, the population does not treat it with great piety at all to a woman, and therefore a woman, as the leader of the opposition, would be able to unify people and lift them up without thinking. ugh , of course, your explanation is interesting, non-standard, non-standard, at least, it has not sounded like this before, you yourself just noticed that a lot of people came, and you say that these are people brave, and at least in recent years i don't remember any other event gathering

such a large number of people in russia, but i have a question here, maybe it's naive and it's of course with the ukrainian context, but for example, why didn't such a large number of people come out , when the war started, because by and large... it is the same regime that started the war in ukraine and killed navalny, why are we seeing such different reactions in russia? well, let's say this, the war has been going on for two years, and still graves appear, many graves appear in russian cemeteries, many , many and very many dead, this is... one hundred and two hundred thousand people who died, of course, this cannot pass without a trace for the country, even for such a large one, as if for the population, that is, a certain reaction really has happen, and if, frankly, i want to tell you, if this,

if we now had more supplies of weapons, all if we could achieve more. as a result of the war, of course, there would be more people, well, so, so now people really feel that in russia, russia is fighting yesterday, yesterday , ukrainian journalist roman tsymbalyuk, who worked in russia for quite a long time, was on our air, and he said that it is now, after the death of navalny , that the russian opposition must realize that it will be possible to travel freely to russia only in ukrainian tank, well, it means that russia must lose and only in this way, including navalny's family and his friends will be able to get to his grave. to what extent do you think the russian opposition is aware of this now, will their

rhetoric change, when i talk about the opposition, i mean i mean, of course, navalny's widow, will their rhetoric change, and in principle, does it have any significance for ukraine itself, or does it need it? such a situational ally as the russian opposition in the person of, for example, yulia navalny? well, you understand, of course, we want that i...however more russians understand the horror, the horror of the policy pursued by its leadership. well, but on the other hand, i do not see, no matter how much they say, well, yulia navalna, she is a victim, and you understand, of course, the victim always has a certain, well, sympathy for the victim is always certain raises it to an extent. people, but i don’t see , i don’t see serious figures around, i just don’t see

, well, you understand, well, no, there are no people in russia now who could lead and seriously lead, as it was, well, even like that, once there was a party bolsheviks, there are absolutely no, and not at all. in general, the party does not have a serious political force, there is no one that would lead the movement of the russians, but the one that, the one that is outside of russia, you see that they have quite different views on the war in ukraine, or maybe they have the same view , but they don't have it voiced, quite clearly, clearly, they do not articulate, well, you understand who those are, who are now, well... well, well, those guys we have,

well, mr. mar, well, well, you understand, they are nice people, but , but almost, well, no more, ugh , that is, a leader, a strong leader with great charisma, such as the hope that i was, for example, boris nimtsov, they destroyed nimtsov, they destroyed. navalny, although nimtsov was clearly a figure much more, well, i would say politically more weighty, and then navalny, well, let's put it this way, at the beginning of the introduction, at the beginning of the war, he generally said that in addition to the sandwich and the like, well, then, well, then you know, even the loser for navalny was that... after all , navalny, navalny, this is not ivanov, petrov or sidorov , it is clear, uncut jews

, as they said then in the 17th year, but by the way, this is still a person with a ukrainian surname, she, too, this is also in russia, ugh, did not contribute to the fact that, well, what she wants is not from with a jewish surname, what do you think the conclusions are... in the kremlin after today's farewell to mass, when they shouted down the king , no war, no forgiveness and so on, and whether in principle any conclusions will be drawn, i think that they, i saw how many people there were, i do not think that they took themselves very seriously, uh, to these people, the most important thing, they do not see a leader, ugh, they are a leader, they are not afraid, i am not... i am very, very nice from all sides, that is , just as a woman, just as a person, his

wife, i would even say so , that in western society his wife would probably have more success than him, because you know, he, well, i don't want to talk like that day, but he was somewhat not quite adequate in many respects because... because to western, western civilization, after all, he was a russian leader in all his manifestations, that is, he was, he was not a person of such a plan that is in the west, that is, he had his own shortcomings, which would be difficult to overcome. yes, he rose a lot for the latter, especially after the arrest, he

rose extremely strongly in his understanding of what was being done in the world, and he realized that it was difficult to take such a position between here, that you have to stand up, stand up firmly, firmly, firmly, i understand you, resistance, thank you, maybe. he was killed precisely because they saw that he could be a leader, i understand, thank you very much, we have time, but your opinion is completely understandable, volodymyr. ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine to the russian federation, 1992-1994. that's all, subscribe to radio svoboda's website . we will see you on monday. there are discounts on amexin ic tablets - 10% in

is still in the temporarily occupied territory, but for one reason or another. can't announce himself, so i ask you to look especially carefully at the photo of the guy from the residents of donetsk, who may see this video on social networks. if you know at least some information about him or where he might be, let us know on the hotline of the child tracing service 116.30 and you can write to us either on our website or in the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram. also, we are looking for this girl, her with... angelina buynova, she is 16 years old, and she also went missing in temporarily occupied donetsk. it happened in the fall of 2023, and since then it is not known where and with whom angelina is. unfortunately, it is possible that she could have been taken out or deported to russia. this is of course just speculation, and deportation of children in general is part of the crime of genocide, so

i would like to note that if you know of any crime against a child, particularly deportation... do not be indifferent and report it to the police immediately, or report to our site stopcrimeua. of course you do it you can anonymously if you wish. but of course the fact that the girl in russia is still only a version, she may well be both in the occupation and in the territory controlled by ukraine. so look at the photo, look at her face , and if you know anything about her, let us know by calling 11630. calls from... all mobile operators in ukraine are free. one thing is clear: searching for children in the temporarily occupied territories is a very complicated process, and it may even seem to someone that it is almost... impossible to find a child there, but it is not at all yes: during two years of full-scale war , magnolia's child tracing service managed to find many boys and girls who were considered

missing during the occupation. and one of such incredible search stories is the story of 17-year-old nastya from the city of izyum in kharkiv oblast, which was occupied in april 2022. for seven months, we told you about how the search for the girl was going, and i will turn to us for help in the search. nastya's friend, katya, who then asked to show this appeal: if you can, go out on connection, then i will say that you are alive, that you have food, water, drinking water, clothes, and that you have a roof over your head, that everything is fine with you, please, just say this, that you are alive , and i will be the happiest. we immediately started searching for nastya and spreading information about her on all available media resources, and fortunately, after some time, the girl gave about herself... she reported that she is alive, but together with her parents , she is in the occupied territory, where there is almost no mobile communication connection, and that is why she could not announce anything about herself for so long.

of course, the most important thing for us at that time was that nastya got in touch, but at the same time we understood that the girl remained under occupation and in danger, after the de-occupation of izyum we managed to talk to the girl. hello, i'm fine. i'm alive and well, my family and i have been back home for a month, to our home in our hometown of izyum, which can't help but make us happy. in turn, nastya's friend, katya, who has been searching for nastya all this time with us, asks those who are looking for their relatives to believe to the last and in no case to lose hope you don't give up, don't listen to anyone and keep believing in the best. based on his experience, he can. to say that i waited for 7 months , long 7 months, when various horrors were written on the internet, that there were many dead, that there was no city, i continued to believe, i already

have friends who, to whom i was worrying about my experiences, they already said, calm down there, maybe it's too late, maybe not, maybe not yet, but no, i wrote to everyone, shut everything down, please, i will believe until the end that everything will be fine, everything will definitely be fine, this story is a clear testimony that... there is a chance to find a missing child even in the most difficult situations, the main thing is not to lose hope, believe and act, so please go to the website of the children's search service, if you recognize someone, call our hotline 116 30, calls are free from all mobile operators in ukraine.

the ukrainian voice of america program chas time is on the air, i'm yuliya yarmolenko, congratulations. continuation of support to ukraine and the situation in the middle east. the main topics of the us president joe biden's meeting with by italian prime minister giorgia moloni at the white house. in a comment before the start of the negotiations, president biden thanked giorgi milona for her unwavering support for kyiv. italy currently leads the group of seven. prime minister maloney emphasized that the priority of the g7 summit in pula this summer will be strengthening the world order, which is based on the rules of protecting freedom and building peace for ukraine. let me remind you that only last week, george moloney was in kyiv, where she signed an agreement with president zelensky on cooperation between italy and ukraine in the field of security. president biden emphasized: the usa and'. must continue to support ukraine and once again called on the house of representatives to immediately approve a bipartisan bill that provides for assistance to ukraine. legislators in the house

of representatives, meanwhile, are working on alternative ways to vote on the bill on financing aid to ukraine, bypassing the speaker, because mike johnson himself is in no hurry to do this, he says that they will move on to the issue of ukraine only after they agree on the budget, which can to happen at the end of march. will it succeed? representatives to speed up approval of the draft law through special petitions, and how lawmakers of both parties comment on the prospects of approving aid to ukraine in march. let's summarize the week with our congress correspondent kateryna lyusinova, who joins the broadcast. katya, hello. congratulations, yulia! katya congressman, republican brian fitz-patrick said the day before that he had already registered a petition to consider aid to ukraine bypassing the speaker. what kind of petition is this and can it be an effective way to agree on aid to ukraine. without speaker johnson. let's start with the fact that there are currently two draft laws on aid to ukraine in the house of representatives. the first is a bill that has already been passed in the senate, which the vast majority of democrats

support, and the second. relatively new is a bill by brian fitzpatrick, a republican, which provides less financial aid to ukraine and does not provide humanitarian aid to ukraine, but introduces some needs for the border of the united states of america. in general, there are several mechanisms to vote these two draft laws to put them to the vote. this should be done either by the speaker, or by law the legislators will collect the appropriate petition to bypass the speaker and bring it to a vote on their own. actually, fitz-patrick is already starting to collect. signatures for a matching petition for your bill. at the same time , democrats believe that the senate bill should be passed by the speaker himself and hope that he will actually do so. what are actually planned to be done by both democrats and republicans, and actually fitzpatrick himself, i suggest you listen to in the comments they gave me yesterday. if the democrats don't support my petition, they do not support ukraine. if you support

ukraine, you should support either. efforts , especially bipartisan, to help ukraine, and anyone who doesn't support that is just playing politics, and frankly, i have my own petition, why should i support theirs, if their bill, that is, the version senate, then i will support it, but right now they don't even have enough signatures from their own party to pass this petition, the signatures of the democrats, you you know, so maybe they should deal with that first, because right now my bill... it's the only bipartisan option we have. the most likely option is that we will adopt the bill in march. the second option is that the speaker will propose his own draft law, which is not so good for ukraine, and will put it to a vote in march. and the third option is a procedure that was rarely used, this is a special petition to bypass the speaker, it was successfully used

only twice. in the 28 years that i have been working here, but it has been used more than unsuccessfully a thousand times katya, you spoke with a number of legislators yesterday, what do they say about when and in what form to realistically approve aid to ukraine? that's right, yulia, i talked to both republicans and democrats in the house of representatives. the vast majority of them expect to start helping ukraine by the end of march. but in general, the positions of both republicans and democrats were generally divided, as usual. democrats hope that the senate bill will be brought to a vote by the speaker himself, but republicans believe that it is necessary to proceed to assistance to ukraine after all issues regarding the budgeting of the government of the united states of america, as well as the issue of the border of the united states of america, have been agreed upon; only then can you proceed to issues of assistance to partners. i suggest you listen to what representatives of both parties told me yesterday. the speaker's job is to in

order to control the processes in the house of representatives. he must not allow anyone to circumvent his decision or put anything to a vote. and it would be wrong to withdraw aid to ukraine before we do finance our own government. i remain optimistic that as soon as we resolve the budget issue, which takes another week or two, we will immediately put aid to ukraine and israel to a vote. the speaker just needs to take it out. the senate bill, which has received support from democrats and republicans. if someone wants to vote against, let them vote against, but put it to the vote. let's first ensure the security of our own border, pass the budget, and then we can talk about what we're going to do to make the best possible help our allies succeed. ukrainian

activists strengthen katya against the background of delays in the congress. on capitol hill, do they get lawmakers' attention? in fact, yes, more and more often legislators mention in their speeches in the congress, the protesting rallyists, the yellow and blue flags that stand under the congress both in the rain and in bad weather, and they mention this both during their speeches and during their own meetings of the congress, as in the house of representatives, as well as in the senate, therefore, even this wednesday, when the house of representatives, and in general, the senate is back, the congress is back to work after a short break, protesters, both ukrainians and... americans , have come to the entrance to the house of representatives, that's where the aid to ukraine is currently stuck, and they came with posters and flags, like sa, as the protesters themselves claim, they want to remind the house of representatives and american lawmakers in general that aid to ukraine should be approved as soon as possible if it is an urgent matter. more about why they are protesting, who exactly is protesting about this protest and how these protests took place

this wednesday, i offer to listen in our short report.
