energy of ukraine will go on for months - experts say. only ukrenergo was assessed 100 million euro in damages. military experts note that these shellings once again showed that ukraine needs military assistance. of course, we need help, including air defense missiles, of course. moreover, we now have a double task. we need to provide assistance for current needs and we need to prepare already for the autumn-winter period of 24-25, the preparation begins now. that is, appropriate financing is currently underway, these missiles are now being produced, and we get them later, and we need to quickly meet the need now, and more systems are needed, you see, right away the question is that we cannot protect, for example, everything now from ballistic missiles, we do not have enough systems, even if we have there will be a lot of missiles, oleksandr musiyanko believes, russia has been preparing for this series of attacks for a long time, following the example of previous attacks, it will probably soon... slow down in order to accumulate

missiles and resume similar massive attacks. lesya bakalets, voice of america, from kyiv. the us intelligence services emphasized that they confirm the involvement of islamist terrorist groups in the shooting and fire at an entertainment center near moscow, where at least 137 people died and more than 180 were injured. russian the authorities are trying to use the event for additional justifications for the war against ukraine. french president emmanuel macron called attempts to use the context of these attacks and turn it against ukraine cynical and counterproductive. let's talk about how the world reacts to the terrorist attacks near moscow with my colleague iryna shinkarenko. irina, congratulations. congratulations oleksya. iryna, what reactions did you see in washington to the terrorist attacks near moscow and russia's attempts to use this context against ukraine? oleksiy, just

a few hours ago at a briefing by the white house adviser on communications in the field of national security, john kirby, he emphasized that the question of the involvement of any ties of ukraine with the shooting in the suburbs of moscow can be put to rest and that the involvement has been confirmed. that this idol is behind this shooting, and he said that the data that ukraine allegedly has any connection with this shooting is russian propaganda, and putin wants to somehow justify his war against ukraine in this way, and to these questions about the involvement of ukraine, john kirby answered the same way on friday, immediately after the news of the shooting, he answers these questions, answering questions from american journalists who ask him for a reason, because in the first minutes after the news of the shooting , russian officials began to voice hints about ukraine's involvement in the... shootings

, for example, on friday, just a few minutes after the shooting, deputy chairman of the security council of russia dmytro medvidev, he said that if it is established that these are alleged terrorists from kyiv regime are involved in the shooting, then they should all be destroyed, so john kirby's statements he called propaganda, i suggest you listen to him. it should not surprise anyone that putin and his cronies are in the cream of the crop. trying to find a way to attribute it to ukraine. not here connection with ukraine. it was an attack carried out by operatives and that's it, end of story, no connection with ukraine. this is another kremlin propaganda. they are doing everything they can to connect this with their actions in ukraine, to reinforce some kind of justification for the long-term violence and abuse that they have been perpetrating against the ukrainian people for more than two years. also, john kirby today at a briefing on... emphasized that the us was actively

monitoring the activities of affairs and thanks to this they were able to obtain data on the preparation of a terrorist attack in russia, and they warned russia about this at the beginning of march, he stated that there is no cooperation in the security field between russia and the usa, however, the usa was obliged, having such information about the probable preparation of a terrorist attack , to share it with moscow, it was already moscow's task, as she will use this information, and the us intelligence service, as well as... the us national security council, they confirmed that idil was behind the shooting, and to put an end to ukraine's involvement, to speculation about ukraine's involvement in the shooting, also called today in to the us state department, i suggest listening to jdep spokesman matthew miller. there was no ukrainian intervention, strong. you saw how the ukrainian authorities clearly stated this, and the russians did not provide it. evidence, because

there is no evidence of ukraine's participation in the warnings we gave to the russian authorities. so, at the beginning of march, we warned the russian authorities about a planned terrorist act in moscow, which could potentially be at... at large gatherings, including concerts. we warned them privately, as per our obligation to warn when we see intelligence about terrorist or potential terrorist attacks. and because of that warning that we gave to the russian government, we issued a security alert on march 7 informing us citizens that we had information about a planned terrorist attack in moscow, potentially targeting large gatherings, including a concert. iryna, despite the lack of any evidence of ukraine's involvement, putin's accusations against ukraine were made. like in the west commented on these statements and accusations? yes , oleksiy, despite the fact that the usa announced in advance the possibility of this terrorist attack, and

despite the statement from i deal himself, in saturday's address, putin used the opportunity to again emphasize ukraine's involvement in this terrorist attack, and in saturday's interview, in response in an interview with putin, in an interview with a tv channel. abc, the vice president of the united states, kamala harris, she commented on putin's words and said, she rejected his words about the involvement of ukraine and said that there is no evidence that ukraine was involved in shootings in the suburbs of moscow, but accusations from russia continue, and today an article was published, in particular by the spokeswoman of the russian ministry of foreign affairs, maria zakharova, that the us allegedly uses idols to cover its alleged wards in kyiv, so this opinion was picked up by some users in america of american social networks, but... but, of course , even a part of russian commentators in russia, some political scientists, do not believe in such statements, this weekend they voiced the opinion that it is not very clear that ukraine can get what benefit from this terrorist attack, and the american media, they repeat the words of the american

authorities about the non-involvement of ukraine, and they say that the terrorist attack in russia, it revealed the vulnerable sides of putin himself in his inability to protect his people and... that ukraine, even using massive shelling on russian territory, she never resorted to sacrifice among the civilian population. irina, thank you very much. voice of america correspondent iryna shinkarenko contacted us. last weekend, us president joe biden spent election campaign, reminding voters of their achievements in the field of health care. at the same time, his political rival, donald trump, was forced to focus on finding... ways to make bail in time in the new york state court after losing the civil fraud case, details in veronika balder's story, oksana bodratenko will introduce her story. 175 million dollars. former president donald trump must find such an amount by

the end of monday in order to post bail in time to the court of the state of new york. after his found guilty of long-term fraud in their business practices. on friday, trump announced through his platform, truth. soshal said that he has the money for this, and repeated the arguments he had previously made in palm beach , florida, criticizing the verdict in this case. it was a rigged trial by a dishonest judge and a dishonest attorney general. they would like to take the money so i can't use it for the campaign. on cnn's state of the nation program, the host asked congresswoman democrat alexandra ocasio cortez. and can this manhunt narrative help trump in... has there ever been a president, republican or democrat, who has had this level of criminal charges, indictments, investigations, this is not about party, this is not about politics , it's about corruption and crime. on

nbc's press conference, former republican national committee chairwoman rona mcdaniel commented on reports of a new joint fundraising committee for... republican national committee trump campaign and is it appropriate for trump to ask donors to pay his legal bills? if they really want to pay his legal fees, they have every right to do so. and i think he 's been very open about them helping with his legal bills. meanwhile, another candidate in the race for a second term in the white house , us president joe biden, held a virtual meeting with voters on saturday, along with his predecessor, democrat barack obama. and honorable speaker of the house of representatives nancy pelosi, biden focused on the topic of affordable health care. this election is about two different visions of america, it's that simple. my vision is our vision of a future where people have the freedom and security of affordable health care, low prescription

drug prices, and a little more choice. biden assured voters that he would preserve the affordable care act, also known as obamacare. his opponent, president trump, is challenging this law. criticism and promised him repeal, despite the fact that about 20 million people got health insurance that way this year alone. anastasia savenko, veronika baldera seglesia with voices. a new fundraising group has started work in the us to support lawmakers who are helping ukraine. political action committee - american ukraine. political action committees are a common phenomenon in american political and social life. it is a non-governmental organization that collects and transfers campaign funds for or against specific political candidates and initiatives. but for the first time, such an organization will be involved in supporting voting and campaigning members of congress. pro-ukrainian initiatives. the family has an american investor and businessman, jet

sanden, who lived for many years in kyiv, where he founded and owned the newspaper kyivpost for a long time. they have already started a fundraiser for the re-election of democratic congressman brandon boyle in pennsylvania, and plan to hold 20 fundraisers for congressional lawmakers from both parties over the next few months. details and work plans of american ukraine in an interview with my colleague tetyana voroshko shared his catch. tell us a little about the newly formed political action committee. this is a natural stage in the growth of the ukrainian community, how they lobby and try to make their political voice heard here in washington. so we got together and created the political action committee american ukraine. our goal is to financially support congressmen who support ukraine. where does the money come from? yes, according to election campaign laws, only

us citizens or permanent resident green card holders may fund, give money to any congressional race or any presidential race. how do you work with diaspora organizations, do your activities overlap somewhere? this is in addition to what is already happening. so a week ago we completed our first fundraiser in philadelphia, where the local ukrainian community. has already built a great relationship with her congressman, congressman boyle. they were fundraising and we brought additional funding to the congressman to help him in re-election. the congressman is a strong supporter of ukraine. he knows how to conduct his election campaign and build deeper relations with the local ukrainian community. and we plan to take similar steps in other places where there are strong ukrainian communities, in particular in cleveland , ohio, where the head of the ukrainian caucus vidmok is being re-elected. they hold fundraisers, we join and partner with them to

show that the ukrainian community and ukrainian supporters even outside of their district and state, support them, and that their votes in congress on ukraine matter. and isn't it problematic for congressmen to take funding from a committee that has a foreign country in its name? no, not at all, there are many similar political action committees for other countries. in america, we have a strong lobbying tradition, you can lobby on any issue, and we do not lobby for the interests of ukraine. we do not represent ukraine's interests, we represent american interests that support relations between america and ukraine. it's a two-way street, isn't it? not so? you talk about supporting both republicans and democrats in congress. now we see that there are problems with the support of ukraine from the side of the republicans. i don't think there is a problem with republicans.

america has strong bipartisan support for ukraine. and we saw it in society. most americans support ukraine, and most members of congress do. we saw that the bill passed the senate by 70 votes, which is a large majority of 100. and it will pass the house of representatives. okay, there are difficulties in passing bills. and it's one thing to think about the short-term perspective. do you plan to work with the biden and trump companies. not now, we are focused on the congress, the results of the presidential election will depend on many issues. the issue of ukraine in the presidential race stands. very low priority, within the congress we can have more influence to

simply ensure the re-election of those members who already support ukraine. please tell us about your previous projects on support of ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, i'm sure everyone who cares about ukraine has been involved in many initiatives, helping people leave ukraine, helping to send medicine, helping. to exercise drones and everything else. there were dozens of great initiatives. my family and i have been active in many of them, but after more than two years of full-scale invasion, it seems that the battle for... congress is one of the most important challenges that ukraine can face. look at the scale aid under discussion. this is far beyond what the entire ukrainian community can provide. congress is debating $60 billion. you know, the community has had great projects that have sent in tens of millions, but that's nothing compared to the 60 billion that

congress is looking at. 42 thousand people, more than 5,500. of which children left the kherson region after the liberation of kherson and the right-bank part of the region in november 22. in a new place, these people need not only material, but also psychological support. sport is one of the ways to relieve stress and to deal with psychological problems. anna kostyuchenko and pavel sukhodolskyi visited a fitness studio in the capital of ukraine, the owner of which is a master of sports from the kherson region, who conducts free sports classes for migrant children, many of whom are from... the kherson region. every thursday, six-year-old svitlana visits this fitness club in kyiv together with other children who have been forcibly displaced. in the fall of 2022, she, along with her parents and older sister, were forced to move from kherson to kyiv. i like running on the treadmill. they left, her mother explains

hope, because of the russian shelling, which... began immediately after the liberation of kherson by the armed forces of ukraine on november 11 , 2022. the first time it flew straight into the classroom of the eldest daughter, and the wall was carried out of the window , so if the body remained, it flew to the exit, well, the wall was carried out, and the second time, so there is a kindergarten near us, there is no kindergarten, and if the school got it too. because there was recently in our area in january, recently, maybe a month ago, there was a strong arrival in our area. classes for svitlanka and other migrant children conducted by 30-year-old alina grek, master of sports in rugby and weightlifting, winner of the european championships and the championship of ukraine in rugby-7. four years ago, alina together with

her sister founded her own fitness club in the capital, and in september 2022... on the initiative of the charity fund, the union nearby held the first charity physical education class for migrant children. indeed , from psychology it was clear that they had just left, and it was clear that it was a little scary, well , there was really fear, for example, they were brought somewhere, well, they needed someone, you know how to pull out, there to talk partially , that is, some people simply slurred, so the most terrible case was when i... i was very confused, it was when a child just fell at your feet and started screaming something like that, something i want to die, i hate people, we we bring them back to life by the fact that they interact with us, they interact with each other, and you saw how friendly they are. alina comes from the left-bank kherson region, where

her parents are still under occupation. in december 2023, a woman along with others. came to kherson as volunteers to present to the locals a little new year's mood for the children. be sure to take tangerines when you go out, okay? however , she could not see her mother. like when, sometimes there are two minutes a day, sometimes there are breaks for weeks, then again two minutes a day, and that's how we communicate. when i arrived in kherson, and it was difficult not to tell my mother for a day, she calls me, i cannot say that i am in kherson, then the next day, when i say, she says that... you are doing, you are working ? i say, yes, i say, i'm working, but she says what, but she says, where are you? i say, i am in kherson, she says, my god, what should i do , she says, i will now go to sail to you across, i say, and well, this was the most difficult, because, well , i definitely did not see them for about 2.5 years, and being

there , this is, as you know, this is a kind of masochism of some kind, that is, to come to your home and not have the opportunity, that is, to get to your home, but in addition to helping children, alina also collects help for the military, mainly for brigades that are trying to liberate her native kherson oblast, there are two realities for people who live, for example, in kyiv, let's take kyiv, here is the first reality, i continue to function as a person, i develop, i have my own business, which i... in which i am actively involved, i have a personal life there, but there is another reality, there are front-line cities, there are military ones. who constantly, who constantly need to be helped, we bought ballistic protection for body armor, and for others we helped

the marines in acquiring drones. every thursday , 10-15 migrant children come to alina, and they play sports for an hour. hold, hold, 5,4, 3, 2, jump, op, you can still according to official estimates, as of january, almost 207,000 internally displaced persons were registered in kyiv, including more than 45,000 children. alina urges other owners of sports clubs to organize sports leisure for these children. this will be a call for most halls not only in kyiv, but also in ukraine, i.e. not to make a fetish out of it only there, we held a competition for immigrant children as a one-time action. well , competition is good, but give a reason to exist and live. six-year-old svetlana is one of

the most active among the rest of the children, her mother says, even during her stay in kherson under shelling, the girl kept very steady. somehow we had flights either closer or further away, but girls, if sveta was more calm, that is, when she was flying, she just... stopped, wherever we hide, whether in the house or in the basement, she is older, she hid in such a way that later it was necessary to search for it. 11 children died and more than 100 were injured in the kherson region, at the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, it was calculated in kherson military city administration. anna kostyuchenko, pavel sukhodolskyi for voice of america from kyiv. on this we will say goodbye, subscribe to... the new page of the ukrainian voice of america on whatsapp and viber. thank you for staying with us, good night and good morning. before meeting.

represents. united by football, stronger together. hello, this is svoboda ranok, an informational project of radio svoboda. top guests every day. this is the shipping district, kherson. turn on live. we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut. we tell the main thing. on weekdays at 9:00.

good evening, my name is myroslava barchuk, this is a self-titled program, a joint project

of ukrainian foam and a tv channel. espresso. you remember, even before the war, we talked a lot about how important culture is. and it turned out that during the war this culture is perhaps even more important. perhaps this culture gives strength, keeps many people in the front-line, border areas, in the de-occupied territories in good spirits. and today we will talk about exactly that. and about how the ukrainian pen travels with volunteer trips to the east of ukraine, to the south of ukraine. books to destroyed libraries and thus supports people in these territories. my guest today is tetyana teren, she is the executive director of ukrainian foam tanya, congratulations. thank you for coming. for tetyana and i, it is important to talk today about our impressions in general from these trips of our volunteer ukrainians to the east, in the front-line and de-occupied territory, and we will definitely talk and mention about...

all these fantastic, shocking stories, but tanya, let's start with that , what is pen, maybe no one, no one knows, for sure, some people have never heard of propene and what this organization does, pen is primarily an international organization with a central office in london, and accordingly, in fact, in every country in the world, there is a pen center, and it is an association of writers, journalists, cultural managers, translators, in general ... people who work with the word, and what is important to say in the context of what we plan to talk about today is that pen generally arose in 1921, that is, this is the post-war period, the time after the first world war, when there was an opinion in intellectual communities, first in britain, but then in other countries, that in a period of such great challenges, which are in culture, which are in journalism, challenges with freedom of speech, it is very important that people...

who work with words, are united and can work together with these challenges and develop their culture and literature. even before the great war, before the beginning of the great war , the ukrainian pen began to become a very influential organization, and perhaps now it is the most powerful voice, yes, the most powerful advocate, one, at least, of the most powerful advocates of ukrainian culture in the world, and ah... actually the most influential organization in ukraine, please tell us about ours community, that is, what does the community do, what kind of community is it in the ukrainian cultural field? you know, when i now, especially abroad, talk about our work, who we are, what pen does, who our association of ukrainian authors is, very often it causes a certain surprise, because our work in...

is largely different from what other think tanks are doing in other countries. it is obvious that this is connected with the war, and these changes, these disagreements, they have been since the 14th year, because pen worked with the cases of ukrainian authors, political prisoners, and not in every country has such challenges with which the pencenter has to work, but in fact today i talk very little about what we did before the 22nd year, because obviously our work is in poland. the meeting with the ukrainian hostages of the kremlin continues, but our larger initiatives, most of our initiatives, primarily cultural, are suspended, and then we begin the process of finding those areas, those roles, priorities, where we can be most useful as a community. today, our community consists of 163 ukrainian authors, writers, journalists, rights activists, cultural managers, and we planned

with you today... to talk about volunteer trips, i think it's...
