moves, you saw that the pentagon was able to raise $300 million to support them with this emergency aid package, we'll continue to look and see what else we can do, but frankly, our hands are pretty tied here, we need to get the request approved for additional financing. yulia, such arguments of the white house, they are not the first time they are perceived in europe, especially when us representatives call on other countries to increase their support. ostape, first of all it should be said that europeans are also aware of their own gaps, in particular the leaders of the baltic countries, as well as a number of experts say that europe can and should do more to help ukraine, in particular, nikolange is a former official of the german ministry of defense, and now he is an analyst, an expert at the european policy analysis center, he said that in particular one of the goals of anthony blinken's visit to france is actually to push france to do more... to provide assistance that

france still does not provide, although it has more power, but the problem is that the arguments of the united states and anthony blinken, in particular, they do not have such weight due to the fact that the united states itself cannot now approve further aid for ukraine, and by the way, the nikolangs say that in europe they do not understand the argument about the possibility of providing aid on credit at all, because they say that from the very beginning, america itself benefited from aid to ukraine, because the majority. which is approved by congress, returns to the american arms manufacturers, so nikalanga says that as a result of this visit, a lot of antony's own colleagues blinken wants to hear something from him: either congress approves aid to ukraine after all, or the white house finds another way. let's listen. america cannot be expected to have much influence on the debate if the us no longer supplies ukraine with weapons, equipment and ammunition. so the main thing

is the most important. the message i think they want to hear is either congress passes an aid package to ukraine, or the us administration finds other ways to supply arms and ammunition to ukraine, without congressional approval. it is now i believe that the arguments of secretary of state blinken, like those of everyone in the administration of the president of the united states, would have been more weighty if they had provided attacks with a longer range and more powerful warheads, if ... they were not standing in the desert, but were delivered to ukraine. yulia, we already talked with bohdan, before that a little about the topic of ukraine's potential membership in nato, which could now affect the position of the biden administration when it comes to inviting ukraine to the alliance before the summit planned in washington. experts say that anything is possible to be decided, this issue can be resolved in the last days before the summit and maybe even directly at the summit, but they say that...

more procrastination with this or some kind of uncertainty is precisely in the united states and the key to this issue is in the united states for the decision of the united states may be affected by the situation on the battlefield, but the first thing they consider is that the political situation in the united states is not easy, and it is an election year, and the experts i spoke with say that what is really needed is the leadership of the united states and that in the elections taking place in the united states this year should not affect the possibility or the own leadership of the united states and call on the president. biden to show this leadership and the best way that america can show that it stands with ukraine, that ukraine will have security guarantees against any further russian aggression, is an invitation to nato. of course, yuliya, thank you for this inclusion, yuliya yarmolenko was in touch with us from the white house. moving on: ukraine and india agreed to restore economic relations to the pre-war level, pro this was stated by the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, after a visit to new delhi at the end of last week. it was the first visit to. the chief diplomat of ukraine to india

for seven years. the task of this trip was to restore cooperation at a high political level and to make it systematic - says ambassador of ukraine to india oleksandr polishchuk. he told tetyana voroshko in more detail. from what i have seen of the coverage of this visit, the main topic is whether india can mediate between ukraine and russia, given that it is a neutral country, but, let's say... a big country that has a great influence on the countries of the global south, it is obvious that others, perhaps the intermediary that was talked about at the beginning, china can no longer be like that. the subject of the discussion and conversations that took place during this visit was, of course, the recognition of the role that india already plays in the peace process, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine definitely had a conversation about it with... his visit here in order to

convince india's point is that it should play a more active role in this process, because in... in india is not only regional but also global. india has high ambitions to be a permanent member of the un security council. and, it is not without reason that india considers itself the voice of the global south. by involving india in this process more actively, we expect that the number of countries that are looking at india are looking at its role. will also grow in the process. another point that i saw from the point of view of a review of this visit, which writes that ukraine has softened its critical position regarding the purchase of india of russian oil. can it be described that way? in this case, i want to

quote dmytro kuleba, he absolutely clearly explained that as long as this cooperation does not harm ukraine. until the money that was earned is not used by the aggressor country to increase its military power, er, the country observes this process quite neutrally, that is, if buying oil is one thing, but paying for it is quite another , as i understand it, that is, russia does not receive much profit from the sale of oil in india. in ukraine with this ok why in groups she gets the question how will she use them ugh they can buy buffalo skin in india they can buy any of those products that are available in the indian market but they can't to carry out the purchase of high-tech, high-tech

equipment or another group of goods of military or dual purpose, and shall i discuss... this is the topic of indian citizens entering the russian army, whether they go there on purpose, or whether they are deceived by the russians, and that is, it was raised the topic is such indian mercenaries, no, we didn’t have a conversation about this, but is it even discussed in india, as far as it is covered, that there is such a danger of getting to the front line in ukraine, the russians, they always lie and... lead active work here, not only in india, but also in the countries of the region, in nepal, in shvilandka, actively recruiting their citizens to their military formations, but

these recruiters, they are not telling the truth that these people will be thrown to the front like cannon fire meat, and they... say that it is these kind of security agents who will protect the border, so you and i were witnesses when both nepali citizens who were captured and indian citizens who appealed to their government to take them away from this russian mercenary, well, there are such deceived people, but... the government of nepal, for example, made a decision to ban the activities of such recruiting companies in its territory, this is prosecuted by law, there is no such law in india, but work is underway to

prevent such citizens from getting into such unpleasant situations for them situations. it was an interview with the ambassador of ukraine to india oleksandr polishchuk. the full version of this. watch the ukrainian youtube channel of the voice of america. and our next story is about the support center for american veterans in hollywood, which was recently visited by ukrainian military personnel undergoing rehabilitation in the usa. khrystyna shevchenko will tell what they talked about with the american veterans. post-43 is located in the heart of holliv. this is the premises of a branch of the non-profit veterans organization, the american legion. and here is a special day. he is visited by ukrainian military personnel who flew to los angeles from new york, where they are undergoing rehabilitation after receiving prosthetics. 51-year-old gennadiy udovenko, a soldier

of the 73rd naval center of the sso, says: they are in los angeles with a mission. i understand that our goal is to reach these people. er, who are the people so that they can see fresh sources of information and be able to understand what is happening with... 51-year-old genia and his fellow 25-year-old soldier of the 129th brigade of the armed forces andrii chevozorov are shown the halls of post-43. there is a lot of history here. american organization the legion was founded in 1919 by veterans who returned from the first world war. similar centers have been established across america to support the fellowship of veterans. the hollywood post has a special charm. there is a makeshift museum as well as stages for a performance. and even a huge cinema. ukrainian military personnel are accompanied by veterans

of the american army who are also employees of the institution or active members of the organization. we, first of all , have this kind of contact, the fact that they came, they already know what i went through. with genea and andriy also communicates with christopher lovero, a veteran who served in iraq and has been with a humanitarian mission since 2022. in ukraine. it is important for me to be here to support my ukrainian brothers. they both lost limbs fighting for ukraine. the veteran community here in america is very supportive of what they are doing. when the invasion took place in february 2022, it became clear very early on that ukrainians would fight alone. many veterans like myself have decided that since... we have the skill set, let's volunteer. later ukrainian and

american veterans descend on the bar. american veterans gather here in the evenings to drink beer together, relax and exchange ideas. today they ask in ukrainian circles about the war in ukraine. they, they value every case, every cartridge there, uh, military uniform, everything, everything that was, they keep it all, they. they do, somehow they support, it's all somehow forgotten in our country, the co-founders of the non-profit organization ukraine brought gennut andriy to los angeles. really, just to be able to share what happening in ukraine and to emphasize more on the problems that ukraine is currently facing. genna and andrii say goodbye to hollywood post 43 and promise to share. home of creating such facilities for veterans in ukraine. khrystyna shevchenko from los angeles.

bohdan shevchenko for voice of america. and at the end, we talk about the legacy of american marine lance lawrence, who died defending ukraine in the battles in donetsk region. currently, his mother, teri lawrence , is trying to continue her son's case and is meeting with us lawmakers, to convince them, to strengthen support for ukraine. she told katerina her story. this rosary belonged to my father-in-law, lawrence wore it on his waist bag, after he died his unit was able to remove it, when i went to ukraine to collect the ashes, i only took one urn, he wanted to stay there, he wanted to be with this unit, so they they received part of his ashes, and they gave me a rosary, now it has become everything for me, so much hope and faith in it.

lance was 28 years old, he was my first son, extremely intelligent, always was connected with military affairs, was a machine gunner in the marines. when he finished his service, worked as a construction worker, he could fix everything. he also worked at the shooting range on weekends. he was a very busy person, but he always tried to lend a helping hand. when the full-scale invasion was just beginning, he already had a friend connected to ukraine who showed him the atrocities that were taking place. so lance was ready to come almost as soon as it started, but he couldn't then. it seems that he only managed to arrive at the end of february 2023. he has left. two sisters and a brother, he was a great brother and a great son, we miss him so much but we are so proud that

he had such strong moral values ​​and wanted to help people. tell me when and how he decided to go to ukraine. it was many months before he was able to go, and the more he saw what was going on there, the more he wanted to go because he wanted to help, he... could teach a lot of soldiers how to use different weapons, machine guns, etc. . at his place those skills were there, and that's what he wanted to do, train and train people. when you found out that he wanted to go to ukraine, did you somehow try to dissuade him? it was impossible to change his mind, and we knew it, such was his character, the desire to go there literally haunted him. i have two daughters and we just tried to cheer him up when we talked, he

told us everything because that's what he wanted. you can't live normally if the need to be there is... it was his call, to me it seems like all the mothers i talk to describe their sons in the same way, it's a call you hear and need to answer, and that's what happened to him. did he share with you his experience on the battlefield in ukraine? we asked him what they needed, he said: we need equipment, we need people who can fight, we also need a lot of drone attacks there, that's what actually killed him, it was a kamikaze drone, before that he was ricocheted by ammunition, talked a lot about thermal imagers, artillery shells, he was lying in hospital for two weeks it was driving him crazy he couldn't wait to get back in the line he didn't have to but he did and went on his last mission please tell me

how did you find out about his death? i got a call from the embassy, ​​and then i thought: lenz always told me: "you have to be careful with the calls, be careful who you talk to." so when i got the call i wasn't sure if it was official, i called the state department and they confirmed, i was at work at the time and it was difficult. i always gave myself a report about this probability, it is understandable in the beginning circumstances, but it is very painful. after hearing the story from the other boys, receiving a lot of support, and also getting to know his twin's mother karla, we were able to piece together a picture of those events. our sons were very similar, their actions that day saved many other lives. it's hard to describe, it just

hurts, it's horrible, he'll never have grandchildren, never... all these thoughts so i'm a little angry, i wish there was us help and things would be better if the boys were given what they need, maybe there wouldn't be so much death and destruction if they had what they need, have you received threats or other messages from russian trolls? yes, they received. i'm not on social media, but my daughters are. so they, russian trolls, took the photo from their pages and made several posts on various sites. they did the same with karla's son. they wrote very bad things about them, it was terrible. but i expected this, because of that i was afraid to speak at first. it's the biggest step i've taken so far made regarding communication with people. after all,

i have two daughters and i have a family. i know how cruel people and their methods can be. but i don't want to. no more silence because i don't want other people to die needlessly . my son was convinced that the russians were targeting the territory of the former soviet union. if they win in ukraine, who will be next? this is a serious risk and it is a very serious situation. tell us why you are here in washington now? the weatherman foundation helped us arrange the visit to be invited. we have been silent for too long. "i want to try to convince legislators, to provide ukraine with the necessary assistance and weapons. some money is coming in, but we have to make sure that it is what they need, they need body armor, they need effective weapons, they need ammunition, they need food, medical supplies. we need to be more coordinated, and if our visit can help in any way, we will be here. we are talking

to legislators and trying to convey to them that human lives are at stake, and in particular. the lives of americans, it provides situations face, and perhaps it will have a greater impact. have you already met with some legislators? how would you describe these conversations? it seems that many people are not even aware of the losses among americans. maybe they just don't talk about it. that's why we're here. we personalize the lives of these men, we love them. we care about them and want to talk about their sacrifice, they need to know, so if that's the only way, we'll have new meetings. you can now tell the ukrainian people and other viewers around the world what you would like for them say? my son loved your country and your

people, he wanted to be part of your society and help you rebuild when everything is over, i appreciate your perseverance, your strength and struggle, the world stands with you, this was an interview of kateryna lisynova with her mother' i am an american volunteer. lance lawrence, who died defending ukraine last summer. and on this we will say goodbye. see also our daily briefings from monday to friday at 18, where you can ask us your questions. thank you for trusting us, have a peaceful night and good morning before meeting. try fladia 600. pink french pills for acute hemorrhoids. 600. treat

ukraine. can receive an invitation to join nato in 2024 (0800-211-381) no (0800-211-382). all calls to these numbers are free, vote. and we have our first guest on the phone, this is volodymyr hrysko, diplomat, ex-minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, head of the russian research center. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. greetings to you sir hello, thank you for the invitation. mr. volodymyr, let's start our conversation with the nato washington summit, the anniversary, which will take place in just three months, on july 9-11, it will be the 75th anniversary summit, and united states secretary of state anthony blinken, during his visit to paris, announced the need to create road map of ukraine's accession to nato. on the eve of this summit , let's listen to what mr. blinken said. as

the allies in vilnius declared, ukraine will be a member of nato. the question is whether there is a good and a clear road map to reach this conclusion. and i believe that the nato summit, before its 75th anniversary, will really focus very specifically on how we can create that road map, or to use another image, the necessary bridge that will enable. ukraine to become a member of nato. mr. volodymyr, what kind of bridge, as blinken put it, can it be between the alliance and ukraine? well, you know, mr. serhiy, this is already a little, uh, different from the, well, in principle, not very, not very pro-ukrainian position that the united states of america took during of the previous vilnius summit, because actually

they and... with germany blocked the very idea of ​​inviting ukraine before the start of the negotiations, this could be some sort of half-step forward, that is , it is obvious that there will be no invitation, so i think that the question you asked our dear tv viewers, of course, you can answer now. negatively , unfortunately, why this is happening, well, that is another question, it lies in the plane of the fact that the united states of america is still afraid of what is called the defeat of russia, therefore, they are afraid of escalation, they are afraid of using nuclear weapons against ukraine and even

more. they are afraid of the need to respond to the next, flagrant crimes of moscow, it is easier for them not to respond, and that is why they take such a wait-and-see position, maybe somehow, unfortunately, it won't get wet, it's just a continuation of suffering for ukrainians, for the ukrainian people, well, it's not own people, this is a foreign people, regarding what can happen at... at the summit, in this context, it seems to me, something like what happened in in our relations with the european union, when , you know, we were given opportunities in portions, well, at first there was no immediate invitation to negotiations, but before that, well, there was something...
