saturdays, khrystyna yatski, vitaly portnikov and see you soon. the first warrants for the arrest of russian generals from the international criminal court, will war criminals be punished? they are afraid and hiding for the fifth day russia does not withdraw its ships to the black sea and the aid to ukraine from the usa remains blocked, will europe find another financing strategy? good evening, anna javamelnyk and the espresso team are here to summarize the past week. aid to ukraine is being blocked by those who want the us to withdraw from world leadership. america cannot do this, because it would expose all of europe to russia's attack. the president emphasized this. joseph biden in his address

to congress, however, they still haven't approved the package of support for ukraine, which becomes an additional reason for speculation in the pre-election presidential race. against this background, the eu is looking for a joint strategy to help the armed forces, and there are those who want to put ukraine at the table of transition with the russian federation. further in the plot is about what we can expect from the world and who is trying to act as a so-called peacemaker. about the state of affairs in the state, so it is called the traditional speech with which the us president addresses congress every year, but for the third year in a row, joseph biden begins it with the war that russia has unleashed against ukraine. this year, the american leader directly compared putin with hitler, and himself with roosevelt,

who more than 80 years ago managed to convince congressmen not to stand aside from the second world war and help the anti-hitler coalition. so biden once again called on congress to immediately approve an aid package for ukraine of more than 60 billion dollars. if anyone in this room thinks that putin will stop at ukraine, i assure you, he will not do it. but ukraine can stop putin if we give it the weapons it needs to defend itself. my message to president putin, whom i have known for a long time, is simple, we will not back down, we will not bend, i will not bend. members of both houses of congress listened to the speech, including the speaker of the house of representatives, mike johnson. when the us president talked about

the danger of putin's russia for the western world, johnson nodded his head affirmatively and even applauded, but, as the american press notes, he did so uncertainly and not strongly. it is johnson who is currently blocking the adoption of the aid package for ukraine. few people doubt that if the project is brought to the floor for a vote, it will gain the necessary number of votes, but the speaker does not do this, he is a longtime admirer of ... trump, elected to the position with his support and listens to him on all issues. trump's position is known. he complains that the us spends too much money on aid to other countries, and promises to end the war in ukraine within 24 hours of winning the election. at the same time, it will benefit from criticism of putin, who is often called a smart guy. we give billions of dollars to help other

countries, while not protecting our own border and our military personnel. if i were the president, putin would never have attacked ukraine, because i told him: don't do it. europe pays too little, it should give more money, because this war affects it much more than us. even more worrying is trump's meeting with hungarian prime minister viktor orbán, whom the former us president hosted at his estate in florida on march 8. according to the media, the main topic of conversation was ways to end the war in europe. orban's so-called recipes are well-known: to leave the occupied territories to putin, to refuse ukraine's accession to the eu and nato , and to start restoring economic and political ties with russia. do we like it or not? do ukrainians like it or not? ukraine is located on the world map and. where it

is. the best prospect for it would be for it to become a buffer zone between russia and the west, of course, with security guarantees. if it fails, ukraine will lose. own territory the russians will destroy ukraine again and again and again. russia will never accept on its doorstep such a member of the eu and nato as ukraine, never. many members of the republican party consider such a proposal a sign of weakness. however, very few will dare to publicly state this if she is supported by donald trump. the so-called super tuesday took place in the usa this week. internal party elections for presidential candidates in 16 states and one territory at once. trump won almost everywhere. his only opponent is nicky haley, who advocated further provision of aid to ukraine, announced her withdrawal from the race. this means that a political rematch between trump and biden in 2024

is finally becoming a reality. and according to the latest polls, the presumptive republican nominee is ahead of the current president. his influence on the party is growing every day, in fact, the ukraine aid project can be killed by a single trump post on social media. so far , the ex-president refrains from direct calls to fail the aid package for ukraine. some even believe that if trump wins , on the contrary, he can significantly increase his support ukraine. for example, such a scenario is described by ex-prime minister of great britain boris johnson. and the first term of trump, who was so ... feared in ukraine, did not lead to a sharp change in us policy, moreover, unlike the administration of president obama, where biden worked as vice president, the white house of trump's time began to supply the ukrainian army with blankets instead javelins, but all this is just an assumption,

it is impossible to predict trump's actions, because he is an unsystematic and unpredictable politician, the risks of this are understood in europe, there they do not rule out that in the event the return of trump to the white house, the united states will be able to go so far as to abandon its commitments to nato. therefore, the so-called old world is trying to strengthen its own defense capabilities and increase support for ukraine. in particular, a number of european countries agreed to pay for the purchase and delivery of 800,000 shells that the czech republic found for ukraine. we appreciate the efforts of the czech government and all countries that have contributed. we are grateful to you, 800 thousand shells is a large number, but very soon it will be exhausted. we can not to decide to sit down and say: we finally did it. if other countries have a proposal similar to the czech one, then we should start collecting money for it right now, today, and help them implement it. however, despite

intensifying efforts, europe is not able to completely replace the military assistance of the united states. in addition, it lacks a common strategy for war and the desired scenario of its end. against the background of uncertainty in the eu and political turbulence in the usa, talks about the so-called peace have intensified again. china's special envoy li hui this week again, like a year ago, visited kyiv, moscow and brussels. according to the results of the tour, beijing called for an international conference, to which, of course, russia should be invited. another so-called peacemaker, president of turkey recep tayyip erdogan, became active. hosted president zelensky in istanbul at the end of the week, the visit was not announced in advance, just like beijing, ankara offers mediation services and calls on ukraine and the west to sit down at the negotiating table with russia. zelensky does not agree with this. we don't see how it can

invite people who block, destroy and kill everything. we want to get a result, the result is a fair peace and a fair one for ukraine. therefore, first. the civilized countries of the world will develop a detailed plan and will have a result, only then will they involve representatives of russia, precisely those who are ready for a just peace. for the time being, ukraine and its western partners are preparing their peace summit in switzerland and do not plan to invite the russian federation to it, but if the usa does not approve the aid package, the situation at the front will worsen more complicated, the pressure of partners on kyiv may increase, and... the services of uninvited peacekeepers such as china and turkey will be in demand, because in a world where the us is ready to voluntarily give up global leadership, this place will quickly be filled by other players. the international criminal court in gaza

for the first time issued arrest warrants for russian generals for strikes on ukraine. these are the commander of the long-range aviation of the russian federation, serhii kobylash, and the commander of the black sea fleet, viktor sokolov. the judicial chamber of the international criminal court recognized that there are sufficient grounds to believe that these two of the suspects responsible for the operation of missile attacks on the ukrainian energy infrastructure from october 10, 2020. in the second year to march 9, 2023, it was noted that such attacks were directed at civilian objects, and precisely in the period when the expected damage from this was clearly excessive for the expected military advantage. sunk, another armed vessel went to the bottom on the night of march 5, ukrainian naval magura drones destroyed the russian patrol ship serhiy kotov. in the black sea, they told the head office intelligence in us. as a result of the impact , the stern, as well as the right and left sides were damaged. seven

sailors died and at least 27 were injured, according to gur. information about the loss will be clarified in the future. traditionally, moscow does not comment on the situation. this is not the first time ukraine has attacked in this way. in september of last year , during an attack on the russian black sea fleet , serhiy kotov was seriously damaged. meanwhile, the occupiers have not taken their ships into the waters of the black sea for the fifth day, fearing the next one. strike, and in general the armed forces destroyed a third of the 80 warships did they damage the black sea fleet of the russian federation and another part? we are talking about a patrol ship, which is quite new, since it was launched on july 30, 22, that is , already during the full-scale invasion, and in principle it obviously performed the function of protecting the base points. protection of the infrastructure that still remains with the fleet in

the waters and waters of the black sea on the crimean peninsula, since it is equipped with anti-aircraft systems, that is, it was a kind of guard-defender. from the military to diplomats after the release of valery zaluzhny from the position of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, different versions were heard, where will it go next? general and on march 7 , president volodymyr zelensky announced that he approved his candidacy for the post of ambassador to great britain. zaluzhny, who devoted his life to a military career, has no experience of working in diplomatic positions. although with the beginning of a full-scale invasion, he had to communicate with the military leaders of many states. after his release , the ex-commander-in-chief of the armed forces was placed under the command of the minister of defense by the president's decision. rustem umerov did not offer. a significant military position, and the vlk declared him unfit for service in the army, under

these conditions he decided to resign in order to have the right to engage in another business, be it diplomacy or something else, especially since the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro koleba, considers the appointment of a meritorious person to the post the ambassador to britain was a good decision and called it a logical step. for a very long time, the president was looking for the strongest possible candidate for the position in... in london , one of the key requirements was an understanding of the military context, because britain is not just our special strategic partner, this is one of the leaders in military affairs, in military aid to ukraine. they will not send just anyone there. london is an extremely important destination for any country, and i am convinced that valery zaluzhnyi will be one of the most respected figures, and he will bring a lot of benefits not only from the point of view of bilateral relations with britain, but also for backroom diplomacy. with the countries of asia, africa and latin america. ukrainian communities are looking for answers to

the challenges faced by women during the war. ukrainian helps to find them the public health foundation within the framework of the women peace, security response to the challenges of war project. which regions have joined it and which security issues have already been resolved, this is discussed in our article. sectoral implementation of national 28 territorial communities. from 14 oblasts of ukraine joined the women peace security response to the challenges of war project, which was financially supported by the british government. the initiative from last year is implemented thanks to the partnership of six of the strongest women's public organizations with the apparatus the government commissioner for gender policy. when we talk about this policy and approach to women's peace and security, we are talking about different social groups. population, it is necessary to identify their needs and take into account then the formation and implementation of state policy,

only then the state policy can be effective, we talk about this at the government level, but the mechanisms and tools are laid in such projects. today, more than ever, the issue of citizens' security unites the east and the west, the south and the north of ukraine. the experience of the project showed that our the state urgently... needs to solve common problems, which audits of territorial security help to cope with. in all 28 communities , the audits were, i would say, very successful. very effectively, and they also helped not only to identify the problems that exist in the context of security for women in the communities, not only women, by the way, but also men, and all the residents of the communities, but they very importantly, they helped the residents of the community to understand these dangers, to see what is wrong, and how to

correct the situation, to the valkiv territorial community, which is in the kharkiv region in within the framework of it was possible to purchase and install video surveillance cameras on streets with more traffic, which reduces the risk of road accidents. thanks to the security audit, the community determined which places in the region carry the greatest risks and threats. we decided to specify in the project that a safe space on kharkivsya street is the most important thing, because there are even fatal accidents on this street, and it is very important for the police to understand how and which transport. moves along this street, both drivers and pedestrians understand when there is video surveillance is conducted, traffic rules are followed, vehicle speed and rules for pedestrians as well, they do not run across the road wherever they want, but follow the rules. a security audit is the first step to improving life, as

demonstrated by the zhytomyr city territorial community. as part of the project , cluttered areas near the local park were cleared, which could be a place of attack on women or children. also, the local cultural and sports center was able to install ecoflo and solar-powered lanterns to children could work normally even during blackouts. we were all definitely engaged in security issues even before being a deputy, but now we have received very clear such instructions, information has already been collected, and it seems to me that it is extremely important, after all, to monitor global grants that relate to ecology, that relate to security, because this is a development not just one generation, but european countries, and we have a lot to learn, in addition, we also monitored the security measures of all 29 urban target programs that exist in our community, and for that,

to find out in general what our situation is with... the inclusion of security measures in the programs that are financed, to find out what are the gaps and, maybe somewhere, to work on avoiding them. lviv oblast also actively resolves security issues. in the bibra territorial community, after security audits , the condition of areas near educational institutions and hospitals improved. a protective structure was set up for the students of the local support lyceum. in public institutions. inclusive restrooms were installed, ramps were made and escalators were purchased. in this way, the community tries care for people with inclusive needs. we have access to all medical institutions, this is really a norm, a requirement of the national health service, ensuring inclusiveness. now we have moved on to educational institutions, and for this lyceum we

have purchased a stairwell at the expense of the local budget. security audits, ukrainian foundation. whom health began to introduce in our state even before the full-scale war, but the russian invasion made its corrections. a security audit is such a tool that first of all allows the community, later those the funds they have should be directed to cover priority issues related to security, that is, in fact, the community, we have such requests from communities, they want to conduct audits in order to understand whether it is really this road or lighting. whether this or that transport interchange, what needs to be done, but within the framework of this project, which is being presented now, there is also a donor, the british embassy, ​​there are other donors who are ready to provide support to ukrainian women's organizations in addition to the funds in the communities. the security audit of territories is an important component of state policy,

after all, during the period of the russian-ukrainian war , the security issue is in the first place. active participation. communities in the audit helps prevent violence and guarantees the right to protection for every ukrainian. tetyana golunova, espresso tv channel. the president approved the laureates of the shevchenko prize 2024. among them is dmytro lazutkin with a book of poetry, a bookmark in the field of journalism and public relations. yevhen maloletka, mystislav chernov and vasylisa stepanenko received the award for their journalistic materials about the siege of mary. awarded in the field of theater arts ivan uryvskyi, tetyana ovsiychuk and susanna karpenko for the play konotopska vdima, also received a prize. yarmolenko for the series of works ukrainian resistance and jamal for the kerym album. previously, taras shevchenko was imagined as a tired and

grumpy old man. nowadays, artists and artists are rediscovering him for ukraine and the world, because he was a charismatic and young-at-heart person. for the days of shevchenko, my colleagues have collected for you the most interesting reinterpretations of the image of a kopzar in a modern way. the grieving and troubled stargan the martyr. most of us they studied just such a shevchenko. and the first to create such an ugly image of him was the ussr, where there was no freedom, love, joy and individuality. the soviet system could not deny the existence of the ukrainian people, so it set itself the goal of changing the consciousness of freedom-loving people into submissive ones. for this, the pridenists chose cultural figures through whom... they could embody it, and taras shevchenko was one of them. this is the kind of shevchenko

ukrainians taught in school, where his portraits were hung, in a fur coat and a cap, with a frowning and tired look. but if we return to historical sources, diary notes, you can discover another, real shevchenko, charismatic, rebellious, sociable and even love-loving. and what if taras. chenko lived in our time, before he became rich, he dressed like a hipster, a robe, a loose shirt, wide pants smeared with paint, but when he already started earning from his artistic activity, he could afford expensive clothes, white and blue suits, but the well-known portrait in a hat and fur coat is more about status. taras shevchenko was also a star of that time parties, was famous and had many friends. numerous notes mention his charisma, artistry and sense of humor. now. we are on one of the streets of lviv, where a mural by shevchenko in the style of the british band the beatles is depicted. however, instead of musicians, four different shevchenkos cross the road.

lviv artist andriy bunyak depicted him like this. by the way, kobzar himself can be considered the first ukrainian graffiti artist. in addition to this mural , andriy also created an artrostir to show more: kobzar and other geniuses ukrainians in a non-trivial, modern view. in 2020, in the center of lviv , andriy bunyak together with his brother opened the art platform bucket to popularize and revive ukrainian art, so they recreated the image of shevchenko in modern forms, in a strange, rebellious, unexpected, sometimes comical way to draw attention to ukrainian culture. when we take this same image. which is canonical there in our culture and history, and modernize it in a new way so that it looks dynamic, cool, at times provocative, after the full-scale change of society changed

the vector to some grouping of society, well, for obvious reasons, and in fact, before the full-scale change, the amount of hate poured down on us was simply cosmic, and it was natural, because, well, shevchenko was a very canonized image. and when the full-scale invasion began, there was a demand for the product we were making. artspace has more than a hundred designs with paintings, clothes, bags and other small things. craft goods of the ukrainian manufacturer are loved abroad, and the founders of some of their works are given to charity auctions, the funds collected at which are transferred to our army. it was also possible to collect more than a million hryvnias. here we present shopping bags, magnets, socks, stickers. well, in fact, this is a small souvenirs area, then we have clothes, there are actually one copy of various

designs presented here, and more accordingly, it is stored in a warehouse, and the entire space is decorated with paintings, since this is probably the most attention-grabbing. different generations formed different images of shevchenko, but how young and old people keep lines from his poems in their memory. bury me in a grave, in the middle of the steppe wide in ukraine, take me so that the streams of shirokopol and the dnipro and the steeps can be seen and heard, as they tear into the eyes, bury me and get up, break the shackles, and with the enemy's evil, blood, will sprinkle me with a big family, a free, new family, don't forget to mention taras shevchenko with a kind, quiet word . it stands in the village of sobotov on mount vysoky, the homeland of ukraine is wide and deep. this is the church

bohdanova, he was praying there. that the muscovite shared good and bad with the cossack. rest in peace, bohdan, it didn't turn out that way, the envious muscovites cheered everything up. they are already tearing up graves, but they are looking for money, they are digging up your cellars, but they want you, and they find it with difficulty. that's it, bohdan, god's job has ruined the orphaned ukraine. and the shameful, ancient hour will be forgotten, and the good glory, the glory of ukraine, will come to life. it is not evening that is quietly shining, hug me my brothers, i am begging you, i am begging you! the step he made for us is very important now. as an artist, he collected folk music in his works the language that became the basis for the ukrainian standard. and the fact that he was arrested with a note prohibiting writing and drawing only shows how much russia is afraid of ukrainian culture. natalya stareprava, oleg pelyamar, nazar melnyk,

the president of ukraine and the prime minister of greece were there, well, in fact, the story, well, it's actually very scandalous, because they slightly missed the target of the greek the prime minister, he was almost killed there, his entire delegation was very scared, because all this happened 200 meters from him, from the prime minister's cortege, the explosion happened, but at first the russians began to tell that nothing happened at all. we start with urgent and absolutely crazy news. russia in odesa seems to have tried to attack attack on zelenskyi's motorcade. the sensation is reported by the greek newspaper protothema. the ballistic missile attack seems to have happened during the visit of the prime minister of greece kyriakos mitsotakis to the city. there is even a witness.
