effective? yes, it seems that these proposals are multiplying as, in particular , in the united states , the decision to allocate funds for assistance to ukraine has been delayed for several months, so this is one of the proposals, the issuance of bonds , that is, securities that would rely on based on funds, frozen funds from the russian central bank, this is... a proposal that would obviously have development, and we will monitor what the representatives of the g7 countries say. it is interesting that similar proposals are also heard in the european union, there is a proposal that the eu issued bonds or securities specifically intended as an investment, as a way of raising funds for aid, to finance aid to ukraine. and again... in

order to approve such a decision in the european union, the consent of all 27 members would be required, and here we have a situation in which even those countries that are generally very serious in helping ukraine, such as for example, the netherlands or finland, which allocate very significant portions of their budgets to help ukraine, say that they would rather be ready to... harass ukraine directly than to create some european debts for everyone , to be shared among all, they believe that the emergence or development of some debts for the whole of europe is impractical, the question remains, literally for a minute and a half, what other ways of helping ukraine, while the usa is delaying, were discussed today by eu leaders? well, you can pay attention to what ukrainian president volodymyr was talking about. zelensky,

when he addressed the participants of the summit in brussels, he said, for example, that european leaders understand very well that ukraine is now additional air defense systems are needed, he says that this is realistic, it is not about hundreds, as he says, of installations, but about a very real number in order to protect the sums, as he said, kharkiv, mykolaiv, odesa, he said about that ukraine needs ammunition and... that the amount of ammunition that europe is currently providing to ukrainian soldiers, this amount is humiliating, he said, so there are very clear, very serious calls to allies from the ukrainian side, it seems that indeed in the european union it hear even today for example, the director or leader of the european parliament, roberta matsola , said that what is needed now is not rhetoric, but action and called on partners, in particular, to act to help ukraine. bohdan, thank you. thank you very much,

our european correspondent, bohdan tsyupin, was in touch with the studio. you are watching, we continue the release. oblivion is worse than death - convinced lyudmila huseynova, a former civilian hostage who spent three years in sizo donetsk for her civic pro-ukrainian position. in october 2022, she was released during the exchange, and since then she has been fights with... the release of all ukrainian women with whom she was in russian captivity. it is publicity that the convinced activist helps to get illegally detained civilians out of russian captivity, so she tells their stories on all possible platforms and calls on the world to help. iryna solomko and pavlo terahov met with the activist in new york. this is a year of freedom, but it is a year of struggle for you. also, yes, because last year you said that yes, you are free, you are free, you are now in new york, you can... you can talk

the truth of the world, but your girls, those women , they are now also in donetsk, but during this year, one of them managed to get out of there, this is the only thing i am not proud of, no, why i am very happy, and i thought, that it is impossible, and this, or it is possible only thanks to some state institutions, but until now the state answers to us, not ours, but not only our state. all official representatives that there is no release mechanism, because russia cannot maintain the civilian population according to the geneva conventions, and it is such, such a dead end, and there is no solution to this issue, the implication is that at the moment these people are basically, they're outside of any legal force, they're basically invisible to this system, that's the main problem, that's the main problem, and it remains, it's still not solved. but i

see now, and now i am already sure that our voices, not only my voice, because during this year i addressed many, to you, here to... everyone with whom i communicated, in other countries, journalists, with a request to spread the word, with a request, somehow make these people visible, so that these faces are seen, that these the names were heard, because i know that this oblivion is worse than death, and if a person does not know that they are fighting for him, it simply cuts off his wings, i know this for myself. we didn't do much during the year, but we did. if you remember, i talked about olya milishchenko, who was detained by her children, her son was four years old when she was detained, detained, she was held captive for 3 years, and i spoke about this exactly a year

ago from the un podium. i said that this punishment is impossible, they are not only punishing this woman, they are punishing this child who grows up without seeing his mother. a few months ago, olya directly from the courtroom was released with a suspended sentence until the child comes of age, she cannot leave the occupied territory, but she is now with her child. you know, she has a lot of restrictions, but i know that when she came home from that courtroom to hug her son, whom she hadn't seen in three years, the child was scared. i know that now they have a very difficult period of adaptation to each other, but even such a small step, i already consider it a victory. i know at least 15 men and women this year this way

they let styurim go. when we talk about them, when we bring this information to the whole world, when i talk about the fact that they have been illegally receiving people there for years, no... without any investigation, there is simply no investigation, just a person sits in this cell for years , it's kind of forgotten about, and when we start talking about it, i don't know what pressure or influence all this has on the representatives of russia, but it probably does, and people are just released without any conditions, without a sentence, they're just released from prison, the only condition being that they cannot leave the occupied territory. you already said that you still wanted to do more , and the state of ukraine, probably other states, and the un, and we are here with you now, did it in order to first release all illegally detained civilians , and accordingly, in order to somehow counteract

this in the same way, how could you evaluate and, because you are in contact, you understand what is being done, we raised the question, why until now? in the 14th year, there was a war, but we don't have a civilian register prisoners, why is there still no authorized person, or any body, which would deal with civilian prisoners in particular, why no one sees heroes among these civilian prisoners, these people are not taken there because they crossed the wrong road there or traded some potatoes there in the wrong place, they are all detained there for their position. and we are silent about this, why is our state silent and does not want to talk about it, that during the so-called referendum in the 22nd year, when russia held a referendum on joining the occupied territories to the russian

federation, this referendum was held in prison, they were taken out of the cell, and one by one they were brought into the prison lawyer's room, and there were simply two on the table. ballots, some are filled and some are empty, and there are two security guards with batons , and they give you that empty ballot and show you that you have to put this tick right here, what are you for, you know, i put against it, it was a stay, this there were insults, olya, whom i spoke about, opposed, and two more women who are now there, they opposed, for me these women are heroes, for the entire prison four women. put a tick against what it is like in these conditions in prison, when the guards just beat you with these batons, not to be afraid and not to betray yourself. i know that now in the same prisons they force people to take

russian citizenship, they force them to take russian passports. so, among those women there are two women who categorically refused to do it. i imagine what conditions they are in now, what gives you strength in this struggle? the same as a year ago, the understanding that there are women left there, they. does not allow to relax this understanding, it does not allow to fully enjoy freedom, and you know, i still really want to feel this pleasure from freedom, to have time to feel it, but for me it will come when all these women are free. it was an interview with activist and former civilian hostage lyudmila huseynova. when the russians started full. large-scale invasion, the most famous english-language ukrainian media kyiv-independent launched a special unit to

investigate war crimes. journalists who previously investigated corruption and wrote about sensitive topics, had to retrain to cover the most brutal crimes committed by the russian military. they told maria ulyanovska about the work of journalists, which borders on advocacy, and the experience of uncovering war crimes in their own country. previously, they exposed corruption schemes. and then the most interesting begins. one of the points is on the other side of the colony, and now they are looking for russian war criminals. we work with databases, we work with people's testimonies, we work with documents, everything is the same as in anti-corruption, only possible slightly different tools. since the beginning of russia's large-scale invasion of ukraine, the prosecutor general's office has registered almost 128,000 war crimes in russia. responding to the call of time, the english-language ukrainian publication kyiv independent started a separate

war crimes investigation department. zhenya motorevska, olesya bida and danylo mokryk create investigative documentaries to shed light on the stories behind these crimes, show their systemic nature and help victims achieve justice, as well as show the greatest horrors of the russian invasion of the world, in english. during the year , the team created three full-length documentaries about the deportation, murder of ukrainian children and torture of ukrainian prisoners of war in the infamous prison in olenivka. the next film, which journalists are working on, is about the sexual crimes of russian soldiers. of course, we cannot tell about everything, because it is looting, it is the killing of civilians, it is torture. and we still chose a focus for ourselves that we will - work on the investigation of the most brutal

crimes, and those people with whom i work, yes, those who agree to speak openly, they, they have a demand for justice, and i understand that my role is yes, somehow, also to ensure this justice and find those war criminals who could to commit these crimes, and to establish this entire chain of who may be responsible. thus, the journalists managed to find out the names of several suspects, in particular surenam krytechan, a military commander who committed war crimes in the kherson region, and svitlana maiboroda, head of the affairs service families and children in the so-called dpr, which is one of the key persons involved in the forced deportation of ukrainian children to russia and their illegal adoption by russian families. and it is very important for us. that what we have found, these findings, these evidences, that they

receive some kind of continuation already in the form of official proceedings, prosecutions, and further trials of alleged war criminals. journalists passed the information on to the law enforcement officers. in december of last year , the united states nominated mkrytichan accused of war crimes, and mayboroda was sanctioned in ukraine and europe. from what we see, yes, in their, in their actions, there are all the signs of genocide, so they are trying to russify them, militarize them, they are erasing the identity of these children, and this is happening to this day, that is, this is a crime that continues, we meet with the wife and olesya in washington, here they are showing their investigative film children for putin, about deportation. ukrainian children from occupied mariupol, together, a fund that provides aid to ukraine, organized seven such screenings in

in different states in order to draw the attention of the american audience to the abduction of ukrainian children by russia. let's go back to ukraine, every nurse knew this, and we said that they would come for us, take us away, their so-called russian adoptive families, blocking communication with the ukrainian side, with ukrainian relatives, with ukrainians. this is not a war for territory, they are simply exterminating us like ukrainians, and... in this case, the russians have chosen just such a tool, so they are deporting these children, and they are simply turning them into russians. such trips are now a regular part of the work of female journalists who not only investigate war crimes in ukraine, but also promote this topic abroad among politicians, human rights activists and people who make decisions, and this needs to

be explained even more, to talk about... what this is not a coincidence, but about the fact that this is being done everywhere in the occupied territories, and we still do not know what is happening in the occupation and in those territories that have been occupied since the 14th year. during our conversation, olesya and zhenya admit that they live in a busy schedule and working with such topics is very difficult, but when their work has real consequences, female journalists continue to work with renewed strength. and... i can't do anything anymore, because you do this work during the ongoing war, you do these in the realities in which ukraine lives in a full-scale war, but then the morning comes, you understand that you have to continue, in our there is simply no choice, we

live in ukraine and we have only one way, it is to fight, because if we don't do it. then we will simply cease to exist as nation, and that's why you somehow postpone your emotions until after the victory, then we'll think about it, talk, and somehow decide, now there is a goal to which we must go. maria ulyanovska, konstantin golubchyk, voice of america. powerful charging stations for the armed forces of ukraine are being developed by a radio station in khmelnytskyi region in its own garage. he has already sent one and a half dozen such devices to the front line. what they are made of, how long they work, how much they cost and what the military themselves say about them, tetyana kukuriyka and serhii rybchinskyi. 37-year-old

andriy sobko converted his garage into a workshop. already five years, probably. the garage is a workshop , he is already a garage radio technician by education andriy is fascinated by technology since childhood, in the third or fourth grade, i remember i had a dart, because i always walked with wires in my pocket, that is, when children went to physical education, for example there was the sixth lesson, i always ran home to the garage and created something, at the age of 12, andriy built a bicycle with a gasoline engine, at the age of 14 soldering iron, which is still used, 10 years ago... now we have one speed, we have the second, we have the third. a year ago, andriy started developing an electric car. this is a future electric car, the idea also appeared, i got my hands on an electric motor from a hybrid

lexus rx 470. and based on this motor, i already wanted to make an electric car. however , the development of an electric car has taken a back seat, now andrii sobko, an equipment debugger in his official job, makes charging stations for the front-line military in his spare time. this scheme is very convenient, because it is modular, that is, if something fails, for example, your inverter fails, you disconnect it, the inverter is replaced with another one. to make a charging station, andriy uses an ordinary toolbox, a battery and a welding torch. it is a current source that is ideal for charging batteries, and such a welding machine, for example, is universal, it is possible to charge batteries of any voltage with minimal rework, circuit interference, let's say, electric, you need 5 v, you turned it on , you have 5 v, you need 12 v, you turned it on, you have 12 v 24, you have 24, you need 220,

you turned on three 220 sockets, everything is simple, accept it. it is for work, that is, there are no difficulties in work. the charger works silently and fully charges in an hour and a half. and the guys called and said: listen, we save 100 liters of gasoline a week just because we don't struggle with the generator all the time. we left for the forest strip, recharged and returned back. we have lighting, we have heat, we have comfortable conditions, despite all this, we do not have noise, we do not have heat emission, so what is very visible in the thermal imagers is water on oxygen homemade paver'. the can weighs almost 24 kg, so to make it easier for the military to carry, andrii sewed a special bag. that is, there are still not enough straps, we have to buy more, but... oh, the charging station is powerful, and compared to factory counterparts, it is much cheaper, - claims andrii. the guys said that they have enough for 18 hours of work, these are drones, these are

guys, these are radio stations, and there are their own lighting needs and a diesel autonomous vehicle too, the first station was made for that because there was a request, we need something to heat up, we have a diesel autonomous vehicle, but we don't have a battery for this diesel one. mky, that is , that's how the idea came from. the funds for the first station were collected by the knights of columbus. andriy is a member of this community. employees of the city council helped to buy details for the following. now the inventor is already making the 13th station in the kharkiv direction and has almost raised money for another one to be redesigned. maybe we'll do another one modification, that is, more mobile, but it will be more powerful and it will be quite heavy, so it will have to be made like a sewing machine, that is, on wheels, they ask us that... if we cannot carry it, then we will to conduct it, if we cannot conduct it, then we will carry it, if so, well, somehow the cost price of one station is 30-35 hryvnias. the device can

be cheaper - says andrii, if the parts are bought in bulk, therefore the inventor is looking for a benefactor who would help, assures that he can only manufacture it by himself at least two charging stations per week. we thank you for doing something for us, for that we are ready to stand there, because if you... want to do nothing for us, why will we stand here. tetiana kukurika, serhii rebchynskyi, for the voice of america, from dunaivtsi , khmelnytskyi. and that's the end of it. thank you for watching voice of america ukrainian. also join our broadcasts, briefings from monday to friday at 18:00 kyiv time, voice of america pages in ukrainian, social networks, youtube and facebook. there you are you can not only listen to the most important news, but also join the discussion and ask your questions. see you in the next broadcasts, all the best, take care, papa!
