that france is preparing to provide ukraine with mirage-2000 fighter jets, modern, powerful fighter jets, in addition to the american f-16s that ukraine is preparing to receive, so these are serious announcements that appeared in connection with this meeting and these celebrations in france. bohdan, you have repeatedly emphasized that there is a lot of symbolism in these meetings, but you can still summarize what... from a symbolic point of view, all these meetings mean for ukraine, for the ukrainian issue. for ukraine, this is a sign of support, that is, the fact that it is american the president was so adamant that just as the allies helped liberate europe from hitler, so now the western allies will help ukraine, obviously very symbolically and very worryingly, probably the kremlin leaders who... who are still

using world war ii to actually to justify their militarism, their revanchism, and their imber nationalist ambitions, so it's very serious when it comes to symbolism, but it's also practical, we just mentioned the announcements that came out on this occasion, so it revealed support for ukraine and evidence that the world emphasizes justice. ukraine's affairs of justice, ukraine's right to defend itself against russia's unjust and illegal aggression. bohdan, thank you very much, our european correspondent bohdan tsyupan was in touch with us. we continue, nato is preparing land corridors for the transfer of european troops. routes are being created for the transportation of the american army in the event of a war with russia, the telegraph newspaper reports. putin is preparing for a future confrontation with nato, say generals, former high command. war in

ukraine has demonstrated numerous lessons for nato, they believe. i had the opportunity to attend this discussion, see details in the story. ukraine's path to nato is irreversible - general tod walters quotes the words of gentsek of nato. we are all excitedly following the news from the nato secretary general, who clearly and loudly stated that ukraine is on an irreversible path to accession. in nato and all protocols will be followed for this, so we look forward to implementing this concept in the future. before the nato summit in for washington, ukraine is in a better position than at last year's summit in vilnius, and western partners are ready to take more confident steps, in particular, allowing ukraine to use western weapons for attacks on russian territory. this is the opinion of daniel kohis, a senior researcher at the hudson institute. in his opinion, the us will slowly expand the list of weapons that ukraine can use.

in russia, as well as a list of russian territories on which ukraine can strike. for a long time, the united states was concerned about threats of escalation. so there were these red lines in the biden administration. i think that eventually the u.s. will expand the types of weapons, the number of weapons, and the number of russian territories that can be struck, but given the speed of the administration, it could take a very long time, and the u.s. decision could be influenced by others. allies that set smaller restrictions, but he does not expect much progress in the matter of ukraine's membership in the alliance. i do not see a significant change in the issue of ukraine's membership in nato, this is an issue in which the united the states, and i think some of the other allies in the alliance are not ready to make any promises, to some extent it is similar to where we were a year ago. in an interview with time magazine, the us president emphasized that peace in ukraine does not necessarily mean membership in nato. peace means. ensuring that russia never,

never, never, never occupies ukraine, that's what peace looks like, and that doesn't mean nato membership, that they're part of nato, that means we have the same relationship with them as with other countries where we supply weapons to they could protect themselves in the future. the hudson institute expert, on the other hand , emphasizes that ukraine will one day become a member of nato, as this is the only long-term guarantee of security. over the past few decades, we have tried all other options and nothing has worked, so in the long run i don't think there is any other solution than ukraine's membership in nato. speaking about the lessons learned from the war, the former supreme commanders of nato forces in europe point to two main ones: the possibility of radio-electronic combat and speed of innovation on the battlefield. first, electronic warfare, we have been talking about it for a long time and we are in favor of it. always knew that the soviet union and

russia invested a lot of effort in this. second, the speed of innovation. we need to match the speed of innovation on the battlefield that the ukrainians have demonstrated in order to another lesson is the importance of air support and coordination of efforts between air and ground forces. the fact that the ukrainian air force was small, and it is necessary to note their incredible merit for the fact that limited capabilities, old capabilities and good intelligence, they performed well, although they could not carry out most of the missions that the western powers would expect to be supported. russia could not. to provide air support to ground forces, they could not perform some basic missions. general tod walters emphasizes the integration of various planes of warfare, as well as the rapid implementation of innovations. conflict in the 21st century is fought in the air, on land, at

sea, and in cyberspace, including information space and nuclear space. we need an approach that unites all this in a joint effort. nato member countries need these and other lessons. learn as soon as possible, because putin is preparing for a confrontation with nato, the generals believe. oleksiy kovalenko, vyacheslav filyushkin, oleksiy osyka, voice of america, washington. the un general assembly elected denmark, greece, pakistan, panama and somalia as new non-permanent members of the security council for the next two years, starting on january 1, 2025. voting on the appointment of these countries was traditionally secret, like the election of these countries before of the un security council may affect ukraine. asked our voon correspondent iryna solomka, who joins our live broadcast. irina, congratulations, can you tell us how this process of voting for new members of the un security council was conducted, and whether there was any intrigue in it, since this vote was, as always, secret. greetings oleksia, as you know,

usually everything is written and planned literally there for dozens of years, there is a special schedule, accordingly, when which country should become a non-permanent member of the security council, so a year ago, after all, there was an intrigue, then from january 1, 2024, belarus was supposed to be a non-permanent member of the security council, and it got into this nightmare even before it essentially became a proxy of russia, and so precisely the european countries that should have delegated it, they said that it will not happen, we are nominating an alternative candidate, it was slovenia, it quickly held elections, that is, it conducted such a campaign and chose this victory accordingly, this year there was no such one. because the five groups of countries are so-called regional groups, this is an african country, this is an asian, pacific group, this is, respectively , latin america and the caribbean basin and also europe, here they are, that is, they nominated their candidate countries and accordingly the general assembly

should already support them, and despite the fact that such a formal vote , it still happens in secret, as you mentioned, moreover, each of these countries, which in fact in the future will become a non-permanent member of the security council, must gain two-thirds of the total number of members of the general assemblies - this is 129 votes, respectively, and i will also remind you that these countries that you mentioned today, they become non-permanent members of the security council from january 1, 2025 and will be in this status for the next two years, until december 31, 2026, respectively. alexei iryna, how can these new members of the security council affect the positions of ukraine and russia in the security council? yes, oleksii, you... the experts with whom i managed to talk, they actually quite say that this composition, it is quite powerful and interesting, and in particular in the context of european countries, that they, they expect that such a position will be quite proactive, but, for example, it is interesting that serhiy kaslytsia, the permanent representative of ukraine, pro-un, with whom i managed to communicate,

when i asked him a similar question, he said that there is no such thing as a russian, pro-ukrainian position, in in this context, it is necessary to look globally and orientate yourself on whether or not, in their votes, in their actions within the framework of the un, they follow the statute and principles of this organization, it is such a bible, it is such a basis, and precisely in this context of these countries, five countries there are no questions for them, respectively. regarding, he also says that these non -permanent members of the security council should not be underestimated, because it seems that only permanent members have such influence due to their veto power and they are very powerful, recently non-permanent members of the council safety they begin to unite in principle, show their subjectivity, propose resolutions, and this is not even liked by the permanent member of the security council. richard govan also agrees with you now this is one of the experts i was able to talk to and you can now hear his position. so, in the end, the five

permanent members of the security council make the important decisions, but in recent years the non-permanent members have become more influential, as russia and the west hardly communicate with each other. and it is the non-permanent members who should work on reaching compromises in the security council. the new five are a very diverse group. pakistan is known for its tough diplomacy and is very close to china. so... we expect that pakistanis will side with the chinese and russians in many cases. somalia will focus on their internal situation. denmark has a strong team, which is likely to take care of many difficult issues, such as sanctions against north korea. greece is likely to focus on cyprus. panama is likely to be quite close to the us on many issues. iryna, how can european partners promote ukraine's support at the un? yes, oleksiy, you know, in principle, that there are among the permanent members of the security council in ukraine

such good allies, of course , the united states, great britain and france, i would like to pay special attention to france, because they very often initiate meetings on the humanitarian situation, on nuclear security, so even tomorrow there will be a meeting dedicated to the humanitarian situation, which initiates france, so in this regard they are doing a lot, as far as the non-permanent members of the security council are concerned, such a huge ally was albania, which now... and there were hopes that slovenia would become more actively involved, this it hasn't happened yet, so we will follow. as for the new members, for example, govpan says that the european countries, they will follow the european line and dominate russia more, and serhiy kislytsia is also convinced of the same. their daily support for ukraine, both at the national level and within the european union and within nato, is a testimony to this, so... to be grateful to every citizen of denmark and greece

for supporting ukraine, in denmark, as far as i am concerned known, there is an absolute absolute consensus among almost all political forces regarding the need to support ukraine, i think that we will see this to a large extent in the security council, thank you very much, iryna was with us in connection with the un. a report released tuesday points to a 23-year rise in hatred and extremism in the united states and a record number of white nationalists and anti-lgbtq plus groups seeking to undermine the inclusiveness of american democracy. for details on the study, as well as the impact of these factors on the presidential election in november, see in andriy's plot. hetman and veronica balderas eglesias.

the lgbtq community was one of the top targets of hate and extremism in the u.s. in 2023, according to a report released tuesday by the southern poor law center. the researchers emphasize that the rhetoric of hate and anti-government theories of language also negatively affected immigrants, blacks and non-religious minorities. extremists - who oppose inclusive democracy have spent the past year legitimizing insurgency, portraying enmity as virtuous and transforming theories from language to main narratives. i would note that they are all preparing for one of the most important elections in our history. a total of 835 anti-government groups were active last year, compared to 702 groups in the previous year. the report also highlights an increase in the number of hate groups from 523 to... 595 last year. cravens says that such groups move into

the political plane, pursuing a certain goal. to limit pluralism, to limit participation, to limit democracy itself. us president joe biden positions himself as the only true one a candidate in the presidential elections in november who can stop the rise of hateful rhetoric. i will not allow donald trump to turn america into a place that... does not believe in honesty, decency, and treating people with respect, and i will be damned if i will allow donald trump to turn america into a place filled with anger, resentment, and hatred. donald trump, the presumptive republican nominee, has sparked controversy during his presidency when he accused both sides of violent clashes in 2017 at a white rally nationalists in charlottesville, virginia. then-president trump. commenting on this manifestation of violence, called it a blatant manifestation of hatred, fanaticism and violence from many

sides. trump has also sided with groups that support the book ban, including mothers for freedom, which the southern poor law center listed in 2023 as an anti-government extremist group that opposes inclusive education. the radical left is responsible for slandering mothers for freedom by calling them names. mothers for freedom declined an interview request voice of america experts say there should be candidates. careful with their rhetoric to stem any possibility of violence ahead of the general election in november. biden should continue to be present and talk about peace, but also about the importance of voting in general. from the point of view of former president trump, he is in a difficult situation because he certainly gets

more support when he uses some extremist language, but as a result he also marginalizes the population. rothschel also stresses that voters should be wary of theories about language that can spread on both mainstream and social media and fuel hateful extremism. andrii hetman, oleksiy kovalenko, veronika baldaras eglesias, voice of america, washington. attention is drawn to the war in ukraine in the united states. with the help of paintings, sculptures and photos. the works of 13 ukrainian artists were shown at george mason university in warlington, near washington. authors convey to visitors through art, the tragedies and pain of war, actions, while working in difficult conditions. how the war changed the lives of ukrainian artists and how their work is perceived in the united states. see iryna shynkarenko and vyacheslav

filyushkin in the plot. mom, when i grow up, work is called never. and it is shown, the children are shot, well, all these dots are traces of bullets. a shot future - that's what professional artist kiyanka kristina otchit chernyak called her first series of works since the beginning of the full-scale war. she recalls that she returned to painting in the second full-scale month invasion, when she and her family moved from kyiv to a house in the village. the artist did not have enough space or tools for creativity, instead of canvases she bought cloth. i didn’t even draw the sheets on the table, on the playground that was made for my little nephew, well, it literally wasn’t even a table, and i had a corner, i couldn’t swing straight at the beginning, and that’s why it was graphics , i had to share all this information, which has accumulated at least somewhere, a series of graphic works by christina now

exhibited in the usa in the gallery of george mason university near washington, the paintings in red and white... depict the life of ukrainians during shelling, a grandfather protecting his granddaughter's sleep in a center for displaced persons in zaporizhzhia, shot at the kramatorsk railway station, torture, murders, as well as appeals stop the rape of ukrainian women. graphics - it was a quick sketch, it literally happened several events a day, and i sketched it directly every evening, these several events, and fixed, fixed, that is, i didn't even have time ponder. ukrainian photojournalist andriy dubchak captures the events of the war in a different way. founder of the donbas-frontliner media project. his photos with the emotions of ukrainians are also shown in the usa at the exhibition a closer view of conflict art from ukraine. people cried in kherson, i cried with them. yes, it was, it was happiness. it was scary in bakhmut, and i was scared, and it was really scary, because the children who

were in the middle, in the middle of hell, really. well, it was. hell, all those explosions, the number of them, and the horror that was there, and the children were afraid, i was afraid. when i open a photo, i am instantly transported to the time and state when i took that photo. the photographer says that since the beginning of the full-scale war , he spends two to three months a year at home, the rest of the time he works near the front line in order to show the world the tragic reality, he says that the most attention of the foreign audience is primarily the suffering of civilians, in particular children. today, unfortunately, all... less and less attention is paid to the war, and it is felt especially strongly abroad, because i monitor foreign media, and less reports, fewer photographs, fewer mentions, but our job is to show both the civilian aspects of the war and the military, these are photographs that show grief, but these are photographs that show hope.

co-curator sophie bey, who selected the works of ukrainian artists for the exhibition in the usa, says: they are shown at the right time. there are many images of conflict, anger and hatred around the world, and we can become indifferent to these images. and i think we don't hear about this conflict anymore, so now is the time to show these works of art so that we can could raise awareness and encourage discussion. at the exhibition in the gallery of mason university, in total , the works of 13 ukrainian artists are presented, among them black and white paintings by the immigrant artist. from kharkiv, olena alyabeva, who describe experiences from despair to recovery. a kiss before evacuation and other works by nataliya amirova, bells in the form of icons by serhii simutin, symbolizing. paniminami ukrainian fields. roman rabyk's sculpture is dedicated to the ukrainian military. in addition to the deep content, says the curator, the collector evgeny nemchenko, the works of ukrainian poets

show above all a high professional level. i saw that there are a lot of works coming from ukraine, i was in various groups, on facebook and so on, very, very powerful, and i decided, just started, to start buying them so that they don't get lost anywhere. i believe... that with the beginning of the invasion, ukrainian art reached a whole new level, now there is already a departure from these caps, huts and men in harem pants and women with loaves. there are many different works that show different cultural things that we are all familiar with. there's a picture here of two people talking on the phone and watching the news to find out what's going on around them, and i think that's something we can relate to. i think it... definitely bridges the gap for people who haven't experienced it firsthand, but sympathize with ukrainians in what they 're going through. every work that i have driven through

and reviewed is beautiful, and also unique. they make you think about many things that are happening in the world. after showing in arlington exhibition will be shown in other halls of the usa. meanwhile, while her paintings travel around the world, kyiv-based artist kristina ochi chernyak has also been constantly moving since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. even to the places where her husband serves, a military paramedic, and she dreams of life at home, as before, was my reflection back home, i want to live at home, as usual, so that everything will be as it was before, and it will never be before. iryna shinkarenko, vyacheslav filyushkin, voice of america. on this we will say goodbye, thank you for staying with us, good night and good morning, see you soon.
