person or any credible international organization, it will be kremlin-friendly individuals from foreign countries who are paid for their trips and will publish glowing announcements about how well these elections were organized, how free, how open, how they were transparent. we all know that's not true. turnout, that's what the kremlin is focusing on now. they know they can get a predetermined result, whether it's 80-80. they have the ability to do this, but they want images of a large number of people, who are taking to the streets of cities across the country to vote for the president, and they are using new technologies to do so. there are several examples: employees of large factories, 3-5 thousand workers, all of them receive instructions to go to their polling stations on election day, and then click on a link on their phone that will allow to establish their location. so that it can be determined

that they are at their polling station. after they come and vote, they must go to the same site to verify that the vote is actually happened this is the first time you've seen a government use geolocation to ensure turnout. they want to be able to say that 70-80% of russians, a record figure, came to support their president, but it's all fake and they use very effective technologies. so, given what you've just said, given what we know about how the election process works in russia, can the results of such an election be considered legitimate at all? i guess after the release of results on march 17, 18 will take place in march. debate, i hope

that foreign governments will not recognize what is clearly a completely rigged election process and hold russia accountable. by not inviting osce observers, russia is violating the terms of its membership in this organization, and if they violate the terms, not only should the elections be disrecognized, russia should be expelled from the osce for failing to fulfill its obligations. elections in the temporarily occupied territories. of ukraine, how they should be qualified by the international community, and if these elections will be held declared illegitimate, will this affect the legitimacy of general elections in russia? the international community should speak out and fully condemn the voting that is taking place in the occupied territories of ukraine. it is very, very important for the event not just to not recognize this vote, but to condemn it loudly and clearly. russia for this, because these

people will be forced to come to the elections at gunpoint. the solution should be very clear, the policy of the united states and every eu country, every nato country is that this is ukrainian territory. no recognition no donetsk, nor donetsk region, nor crimea, nor luhansk region are parts of the russian federation. this is considered ukrainian territory. that is why the arrival of a foreign government and the creation of polling stations in another country is without praise. of this country is a violation of international law, so this whole process contradicts international norms and international law and requires a loud and full condemnation of the event. those who live in the occupied territories. some of them took russian passports voluntarily, some took russian passports because they were forced, or they were afraid that if they didn't, something bad would happen to them and their families. of them

will vote voluntarily, some of them will be forced to do so, as in the future, when ukraine wins this war, and how the ukrainian authorities should treat these people. this is the decision of the ukrainian government, the main thing here is that ukraine will return these territories, help will arrive in the near future. i am sure that there will be additional financing for ukraine in the amount of 61 billion dollars. what will allow ukraine, also with the help of eu countries, to dislodge russian troops from the occupied territories. then the ukrainian authorities will have to ensure the restoration of justice. i assume there will be investigations, but again, it's up to the ukrainian government how they want to proceed once these territories are reclaimed and become part of ukraine again. now russia is pushing its

narrative that look, we're holding elections on time, but ukrainians aren't voting this year, what would be your response to this backlash? the answer to this is simple: russia attacked ukraine, ukrainian legislation, the constitution and the law on elections very clearly define that elections cannot be held during mobilization and martial law, so russia is the reason why elections in ukraine cannot be held due to martial law and mobilization caused by russia, so that accusations or criticism of russia and ukraine for not holding elections, my answer will be russia. if you want ukraine to hold elections, withdraw your troops, we will be happy to hold elections as soon as the last russian soldier has left the territory of ukraine. over the weekend, ukraine and the world commemorated 210 anniversary of taras shevchenko's birthday. this date was also celebrated in new york. actors

of the ivan bernadskyi ukrainian theater presented a performance in which they chose shevchenko's poems, which they reproduce today, and told about their path to the kobzar. iryna solomka and pavlo terekhov talked with the director and actors. ivan bernatskyi is the founder of the ukrainian theater in new york. bernadsky, people's artist of ukraine, who came to the usa more than 20 years ago and almost immediately founded his own theater here. his first production was dedicated works of taras shevchenko and since then every march in new york, bernadsky and his actors honor the kobzar. actually, shevchenko saved me here in america. in fact, i have dedicated my life to him, i have a two-hour monologue by pavel zaitsev, where there is absolutely no music or anything, but i go out in a tuxedo and say, for example, that on the steppe roughness of the old land of kyiv, half-day of princely zvenigorod region and from the era until

the last days of his life, he accepted me first, he let me climb deeper to such my sons, let the world have a wide will, go sons, go for a walk, seek your destiny, my sons, my eagles, fly to ukraine, here he is, i understand him, here i understand him. bernadskyi calls shevchenko a prophet who foretold the future of ukraine in his work. the director says that he has been studying and rethinking the legacy of the kobzar all his life. if you, bohdan, were drunk, now you looked at pereyaslav and looked at the castle. i would get drunk, i would get very drunk, i foresaw it even in a dug grave, oh bohdana bohdanochko, if she had known, she once strangled me, she fell asleep under her heart, that is predicted, predicted, and this is the study

of this, this caution, it has worked now, during the more than 20 years of the theater's existence , almost all of kobzar's iconic works have been performed on its stage, so this... year the director decided to make a theatrical action based on shevchenko's poems and poems . today, this idea is interesting, because god helps you to fight, to fight, all people are involved in that action. everyone has the right to express their opinion while sitting in the hall. the vast majority of performers at the bernadsky theater do not have acting skills of education, this year there are many new ones among them. all of them are newcomers who left ukraine because of the war. mykyta tarol from odesa. one of them. in new york for less than a year, he says, he spent most of his life in a russian-speaking environment. from school i knew more about pushkin or lermontov than about shevchenko. and so at the age of 36 in new york, he discovered a real kobzar for himself. school shevchenko is protocol shevchenko. today's shevchenko

for me is a brother and a prophet, who is very apt, despite the 210 years difference between now and when he was a people. he speaks very aptly about what is happening today, i find important things for me that i want to tell the stage today, with great pleasure. a young, beautiful woman is buried in a palo. lyudmila grabovska has been playing on the stage of the theater since its foundation, for more than 20 years. the woman says that she started reading shevchenko when she was a child and was impressed by how obzar portrays women. and often cried while reading his poems. now there are two favorite poems of the role - the witch and the hireling. i played the witch. heroine poems. it was not very organic, because at first i, like came, i had no such experience. actor's it was very much a role, no, no,

well, not at all organic for a woman who lives a normal, calm life, here is a witch who has gone absolutely insane. and she is unhappy in her own way, but in her own way she is also strong enough to look for her children until death, now they are very easy, organic, calm for me. andriy beynyk is one of the few professional actors in the theater. together with his wife, they graduated from the theater institute in zaporizhzhya and worked in the theater for 10 years. when six years ago moved to the usa, tried to find a job in the theater or cinema, but it didn't work out. the system works in a completely different way, it is necessary, it is an accent, it was not english at all at that time, so we started looking for something, you know, with ukraine, related to ukrainian theaters and found the bernadsky theater. currently , the ukrainian bernadsky theater is the only opportunity for the couple to be on... the stage, they currently live in hawaii, but flew to new york to take part in the project. people

who went to a foreign land, as shevchenko said, miss their relatives. that shevchenko spoke, what he spoke about, it resonates very strongly, so when i have the opportunity to support ukraine and come here to new york and play shevchenko's play, of course, i do it. and it doesn't matter how much it costs. i will kill my brother, burn down the house. i will kill my brother. all actors and technical staff of the theater are volunteers. bernadskyi says that his theater is not only a meeting place, but also a place of community unity. this year, he asked his supporters to buy tickets for the newcomers' show. and you know, a lot, some 10 tickets, some five tickets, i have 30 tickets, i sold a shirt. and... i bought tickets, that is, people also responded, and this is a very big, big deal, that they

wanted me to want 50%, or even more people from there, from odesa, from kharkiv, from mykolaiv, from those districts that were destroyed, so that they could sit here and see that we ukrainians have united. the director donates all proceeds from ticket sales to the purchase of drones. he sees the existence of his theater in new york as a bridge between the community abroad and his homeland. it must be such a chain from ukraine to here and from here to of ukraine. we cannot isolate ourselves and create only here, absolutely, but only direct there, there. bernadsky's creative plans include reviving shakespeare's classic productions, where women's roles were played by men, and also conducting. you are a series of benefits of corypheiv theater from new york iryna solomko, pavlo terikhov, voice of america.

the 29th ukrainian antarctic expedition left for academician vernadskyi station, its departure took place this week from kyiv. about the work and research of the 28th ukrainian expedition, life on the station, climate change, international cooperation and the impact of the russian war in ukraine, see the interview of polarists with maria moiseyeva. we welcome you from antarctica, from the station, academician vernatskyi, and how long have you been at the station? we are members of the 28th ukrainian antarctic expedition, we arrived at the station at the end of last march, now we have 22 people at the station, 14 of them are winterers and eight seasonal employees . what research is currently being conducted at the vernadsky station? three. the main directions, which are approved by the ministry of education,

the cabinet of ministers, these are the main three main programs, this geophysical direction, meteorological and biological, what are the general weather conditions in antarctica, on this expedition we recorded -17 and +8, minimum and maximum temperatures, records at our station were recorded in... 1950 - 48.8° and the warmest in +12° in 2022. how do you track climate change? almost 80 years ago, the average annual temperature at our station was -5.5°. now this average annual temperature is -1.2°. this is 4.3° in 80 years, we see such. it was the rising trend of the temperature that struck me in my eyes, when i returned to antarctica after

my first year-long expedition, this is a change in the ice cover on the islands, this year we did not have a frozen sea, and this very much affected the distribution of some species, some species of animal creatures, now i say first of all about sea mammals, such as pagaphilic species, about porcine leopards, about turbot seals. life cycle that is associated with sea ice, and we observe a decrease in their number in the region that is available to us for observations. the second thing we see. this is how subantarctic species, such as the subantarctic gentoo penguins, as they advance on the contrary, increase their numbers. biologists, regardless of whether they work at the station, always select a very large number of samples, which are analyzed in various institutions in ukraine and abroad. if we sum up some of the results of their research, they reveal species among

microorganisms and among algae that did not exist 10-15 years ago. tell me please, about cooperation with expeditions and scientists of other countries. hydrometeorological observations conducted at our station have been transferred to all world institutes that deal directly in these areas for many years. research on marine soot at the station is carried out in collaboration with the university of california , santa cruz. studies of whales are devoted, firstly, to their ee... tion pattern, it was found that during these years, their behavior and their hormone levels, there was a time when the tourist load on the region was less, and fewer tourist ships

were in the region, it was found that what in this during the period of garbati whales, they should have felt less pressure and less stress, accordingly they were fed better and had a higher pregnancy rate, that is, here they became pregnant more often, accordingly their numbers increased, if we talk about the plants, so the station employees , employees of our national bank, cooperate with colleagues from the czech republic in this way. this is how they work at the czech station, our researchers, in addition, within the framework of the implementation of bacterioplankton research projects, there is cooperation with german researchers, and how often food, hygiene products, and medicine are being delivered to the station, we receive all the supplies once a year, then

an expedition arrives, we immediately unload for a while, first of all. the most important and necessary thing that we need you to unload is, of course, fuel for our diesel generators, a lot, not a lot, but we need about 110-120 tons of fuel per year, this is equipment, this is equipment, this is clothing, this is food products for the whole year, flour, meat, fish and... absolutely everything has russia's full-scale war against ukraine affected your work? of course, it is difficult, difficult in all aspects, it was difficult to organize and assemble the composition of the 28th expedition in which we are now. secondly, of course, the priority

now in the state will be given to protection, defense, of course, what will be the fin. the advancement of scientific programs is also all under god, we cannot clearly say what impresses you the most in antarctica? everything here amazes me as a biologist, yes, starting from living organisms of the lowest, simplest structure of bacteria, ending with cetaceans, very, very cool, when you see some things again, when you suddenly have encounters with the same... animals of some kind or the same objects. the group of killer whales that i saw in june was seen literally a month and a half ago. i am most impressed by everything, the progress of myself and the people around me, who during

the winter period hold and listen to our many seminars, which we... hold for each other and expand our horizons. the idea that this place is a unique chance to work on yourself and learn a lot has already been voiced here. i appreciate it, this moment in first of all, and secondly, somehow a unique place for that, and it is somehow combined with the fact that i spent the last year in the service on... the border, let it be trenches and dugouts, but such an impression , being here that i'm on the border between what we know and what we're up to... exploring what do you dream about? for example , i have one dream, i have one wish, what i would like, everything boils down to one thing, we need, we need

victory, we need to survive, we need not just to stand out, but to win, this is the only thing, about what i'm thinking now, i'm thinking, and everyone is the same, i think we all are, that's how we'll say goodbye, have a peaceful night and a peaceful morning, see you soon! there are 10% discounts on lyzak in psylshynyk, ban and oskad pharmacies. there are discounts on spasmalgon tablets of 15% in pharmacies psyllium you and save. rif is a leading manufacturer
