is too serious to flirt with the various extreme forces, it is possible that he will win, if the far-right party national unification, the party associated with marine le pen , achieves the same success at the national level in france as in the elections that have just passed in elections to the european parliament, then there will obviously be changes... why? because on the one hand the national association, marine le pen and jordan bardela, the young leader, the official leader of this party, they say that they are very sympathetic to ukraine, they say that they are ready to help ukraine, and they condemned the russian aggression, but in between all this there are, let's say, disgruntled statements that european sanctions are harmful. say,

the french economy, there are disgruntled hints that military aid to ukraine should also be limited, that is, when it comes to supporting ukraine, there are reasons, and in particular, the past position of marine le pen, there are reasons not to trust the statements of those those forces about sympathy for ukraine, therefore, if they are to... maybe the same successes as in the elections to the european parliament, then changes in france's position will certainly be, although president emmanuel macron remains in office, and it is the president who determines france's defense and foreign policy. myroslav, i wanted to talk about another topic, you are now in berlin and the conference on the restoration of ukraine starts tomorrow in berlin. this is an important and definitely representative event, but literally today the head of the specialized state agency for recovery. mustafa

nayem resigned, citing systemic obstacles, the relevant minister will not be at the conference, because he is simply not there now. as in are all this reacting in berlin now? yes, yulia, you are right, now there is a rush of ukrainians, in fact, there are also public organizations, representatives of public organizations, and government officials, and activists of various kinds, here in berlin, and tomorrow the conference starts, and tomorrow president zelenskyy is to speak for the first time. in the bundestag, and the fact that the relevant minister is not present at this conference, who actually prepared this conference, causes some surprise and concern in the german government and in principle in the european government, they say that they need stability, they need to understand who they are working with and they need transparency in their work, and ukrainian ukrainians are calling for investments, large investments in... in conditions of war, and

the rules are not clear and unclear, and the people who, with whom they negotiate, government officials, they are constantly changing, and the question of the reasons for these dismissals remains the same, because it is not fully understood why this happened and happened precisely on the eve of this big conference, perhaps president zelenskyi will be able to settle or smooth these out. angles that have now appeared, but in fact, it causes surprise, so to speak, and a certain roll of the eyes that i saw in some ministers, i spoke with one of the parliamentarians from the green party, who was invited to zelenskyi to the bundestag, and this is what she told me. i would say that it is not useful. i think we need

confidence-building measures, i think we need to present a functioning government, they are functioning representatives, these are functioning institutions. this change creates multi-payers not here, but also in brussels. of course, people ask me and others what is going on, why one of the ministers fired? why is another important member of the recovery institution fired or resigned? why do they work against each other? it certainly doesn't help, it doesn't help to allocate more money either. and does not bring ukraine closer to the european union. well, i would say it's not that bad, but it also doesn't help attract new investors and private capital, and it doesn't help convince our taxpayers, our public audience. so in general, i think we need to see a consistent approach from ukraine, that there is transparency, there is integrity, there are good people and there are people you can trust. myroslav, we will definitely be waiting for reports from you for... the day after tomorrow from this conference,

bohdan, i have one more question for you: this week there will be a lot of events in europe, not only this conference, ukraine will be the focus of a number of events, g7 summit, peace summit, is it worth it? wait for some practical results from these big forums? yes, we are waiting for practical results, especially from the g7 summit in bari, italy, primarily us we expect that the countries of the group of seven will more clearly decide how to use the frozen funds of the russian central bank, which are accrued, for the benefit of ukraine. hundreds of billions of dollars, which are frozen in accounts as a result of sanctions mainly in europe, with the support of the united states, with the consent of the europeans, this issue can be, can be moved, also within the framework of

the group of seven summit, where ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyi is expected, also, an agreement on security cooperation may be signed. between the united states and ukraine, such agreements have already been signed with a number of countries of the world, but of course, an agreement on security, on military assistance, on the exchange of intelligence data, on military training with a country like the united states of america will be decisive and very, very important for ukraine. as for the other event of the so-called peace summit or peace conference . high-level meeting on issues of peace in ukraine, as it is also called in switzerland, then there, first of all, we expect symbolic unity, as many countries as possible to support a just peace for ukraine. thank you, of course, colleagues, it was bohdan tsyupin from london, myroslava gongadze from

berlin, and in the next few days we will repeatedly talk with you about the results of very important conferences and summits that are taking place this week in europe. thank you, i'm fine with bohdan. see you in switzerland soon. very cool, i would like too. ukraine has a window of opportunity to transform its economy. the west can help with investments, but ukraine needs good governance from those who manage the reconstruction. such a message the day before conference in berlin was voiced by penny pritzker, the us special representative for the economic recovery of ukraine. at a forum organized by the german marshall fund on monday, she emphasized that the focus of this year's conference. the restoration of ukraine's energy infrastructure will be the first priority, and in general, the approach to restoration should be comprehensive. according to the organizers, the goal of the conference is to mobilize international support not only for the restoration and reconstruction of ukraine, but also for reform and modernization in general. ukraine has a window of opportunity

to transform its economy and reorient itself to the path of integration into the eu and nato. but collective. that we all do, whether it's non-profit organizations, whether it's donor countries, donor companies, the private sector and commercially oriented organizations, all these efforts, all the collective commitments that are presented in this room and in many countries around the world, are based on to the good governance of those leading the reconstruction, and the quality of leadership in kyiv must reflect the integrity, unity and democratic values ​​that represent the real divide from the post-soviet past, the separation that ukraine seeks, the people of ukraine seek, so this is the main thing that, in my opinion, we should take from this conference. representatives of civil society, with whom the voice of america spoke, consider the news of the resignation of the head of the state agency for reconstruction, mustafa nayem, to be a wake-up call.

the fact that the minister of infrastructure will not be at the recovery conference is called negative and incomprehensible, because oleksandr kubrakova was fired in may, and a new one has not been appointed. then the comments. bohuslavets, head of the anti-corruption center and andrii borovyk, head of transparency international ukraine. we , as a public, assess this as extremely great pressure, i would say, the biggest, perhaps even the pressure of 2019, on some independent institution that wants to implement an independent policy, especially politics, especially now for reconstruction. this is one, two, how international partners look at it, firstly, it is very irresponsible on the part of the ukrainian government not to appoint a responsible minister by. reconstruction before the actual big reconstruction conference and the second to do what happened, happened in this letter, when the official head of the reconstruction agency, which organized this conference during the last year, was not allowed to attend such a berlin international conference, where

all the donors who want to to invest in the reconstruction of ukraine. for us, this is clearly evidence of a complete lack of independence, political independence of the vertical or any... who, for example, may have the opportunity to become whistleblowers of corruption, that that we know, in a rather long period , mustafa did the latter, because the deputy... the well-known odarchenko, who offered a $50,000 bribe to mustafa for the allocation of funds from the fund for liquidation of the consequences of aggression from the servants of the people to his object controlled by this people's deputy this deputy, thanks to what mustafa declared in nabu, criminal proceedings and several other cases were opened, i think that the issue of the resignation of this team was a matter of time, whether it was now the right time to do it there conditionally today, no sure and... because tomorrow or the day after tomorrow there will be a recovery conference, this team has proven that it can work in the conditions of an already

established institution, let me remind you that this was the accuraftador once, and still change it and show a good result, but from what we've monitored, we've really seen that there's always a lot less problems there than others, and so if they'd been longer, i think there'd be even more progress, does that mean that if these people go, then we will be visited by outright corruptors, well, we can't claim that, but we don't... it is not known who, me in this story, i will honestly say that i am more worried about what we are getting rid of, but people are leaving who, well, at least are perceived, who can bring results, and at the same time , on a different level, even the zuryad very often hears voices of serious problems in ukraine, it is with human capital, yes, that is , there are no people, yes, who can be appointed, but at the same time, we have vacancies, and there are conditions, not yet in... but conversations about the appointment of new people, in we are undergoing a renewal of the government and a renewal of the government team,

it was several months ago that the president was announced, and there are so few people and at the same time we are firing, so friends, so soon it is not at all known who will be appointed, because there are more people in the country, unfortunately, there are not enough, and russia continues to kill us all, secretary of state. usa anthony blinken is back in the middle east. this is his eighth visit since the beginning of the conflict in october. the first stop was egypt, where the american diplomat met with president el-sisi, who plays a key role in the negotiations between the hamas group and the israeli government. repelling to israel, blinkin stressed that hamas must accept the cease-fire plan proposed by president biden. the day before, israel released four hostages held by hamas during a raid on a refugee camp in gaza. later. minister of war of israel, one of the leaders of the opposition, benny gantz, announced his resignation. iryna

shinkarenko will continue the topic. the israel defense forces has released a video it claims shows the release of hostages kidnapped by hamas during the october 7 terror attack. voice of america cannot to independently verify these or other personnel of the israel defense forces. it was the largest operation to return hostages since the beginning of the military operation, which began at the end of last year. when one of the freed hostages arrived at a medical facility in tel aviv, people chanted in hebrew , the people of israel are alive. this is in stark contrast to the nuseirat refugee camp in gaza, where more than 270 palestinians have been killed in an israeli operation, according to the hamas-run gaza health ministry. according to local security representatives health, airstrikes leveled part of the camp just days after israeli forces destroyed a school that served as a shelter. the tragedy of the civilians who find themselves in this situation is precisely because of the way hamas is fighting us on the battlefield. our

first and foremost responsibility is to rescue the hostages, bring them home, create a better security situation for the israelis, i would say for the palestinians as well. while the israel defense forces continue to step on the gas, claiming capture arms depots, representatives of the us, israel's ally, say that this conflict can end the moment hamas agrees to... a cease-fire. this condition, in our opinion, should be strengthened by the entire international community, because if hamas came and said: yes, the agreement that is on the table, there would be no need for such operations, because the hostages could leave peacefully , and not thanks to military actions israel's war against hamas began after an attack on israel on october 7, which resulted in deaths 1200 people. according to the gaza ministry of health, israeli forces killed 37 palestinians in the conflict. meanwhile, the weekly protests against the government of israeli

prime minister binyamin netanyahu continue unabated. people are calling for re-elections and an agreement to release the remaining hostages. sha's secretary of state antony blinken is visiting the region this week for another attempt to negotiate a ceasefire. iryna shinkarenko, araj arabasadi. voice of america. journalists, investigators and fact-checkers established a connection between a network of almost 170 sites that spreading kremlin disinformation with the help of artificial intelligence and an american named john da. a former florida deputy sheriff who is wanted in the united states. the narratives of these sites about the purchase of a yacht by the president of ukraine, the estates of king charles or will goebbels are gaining millions of views, and the number of sites that are automatically filled with the help of artificial intelligence is growing rapidly. my colleague oleksiy kovalenko spoke with

eva maitland, acting editor-in-chief of newsgard and co-author of the dugan investigation. first, can you talk about the investigation itself, who is dugan and what is the scope of the disinformation company, how did newsgart conduct this investigation? the report was released last week about dugan, a former police officer and american citizen who fled to russia several years ago after being investigated for hacking. from the moment he moved to russia. it is becoming an increasingly important part of russian disinformation operations. he started with the creation of similar videos, in which he received an exclusive access to the regions of ukraine occupied by russia. late last year, my colleague mackenzie began investigating the dc wiekley website, a website that published a lot of pro-kremlin disinformation and was quite successful in getting a lot of attention. my

colleague then approached dugan and asked him about his connection to the website. as a result of this communication and our future. and research by many different organizations, including technology companies such as logically and researchers at son university, as well as the bbc and the new york times, it became increasingly clear that dugan is behind a network of approximately 167 websites that position themselves as national or local websites in the us and uk, but are actually operated from moscow, and which we believe are very likely linked to dugan himself. dugan denies any involvement with these sites. what is the audience for these dugan disinformation network sites? as i noted, we are talking about 167 sites at the moment, at the beginning of april we knew about 20 sites at the end of may about 167, most of them are completely new, so this network quickly is gaining momentum. since we first started

tracking the network late last year, we've uncovered 19 separate false stories. which were created and widely distributed by this network and received a total of 37,700,000 views. the narratives were presented in 16 different languages. one of these fake narratives was that zelensky had bought a castle owned by king charles of great britain. this story received 1,300,000 views. the scale of this operation is growing and at least one of the narratives - a false accusation against the president of ukraine, zelenskyi, that he supposedly bought two'. superyachts was repeated by american congressmen as an argument not to provide further aid to ukraine. what other narratives have you seen spread through this network? a significant part of such narratives focuses on accusations of corruption by ukrainian officials. there was an accusation that

zelensky's wife, olena zelenska, spent more than 1 million on cartier jewelry during a trip to new york. the material that appeared in last december that zelensky bought a villa that belonged to nazi propaganda minister joseph goebbels. there were also some rather strange materials published in february 2024. then a site called the new york news daily, which has the name of a new york site but we believe is part of dugan's network, said that the us company paramont pictures had joined forces with a ukrainian studio linked to zelensky, to make a new film about zelenskyi. worth 115 million dollars, for the sake of this narrative they even used videos of chuck norris and dolph lundgren, who were tricked into doing it through the cameo platform, where people can pay stars to record short videos. on this platform, they were tricked into sending a request to record a video in which they thanked someone for working on the film. the video was edited as if these stars were thanking

zelensky. how common is it? practice for the kremlin to use people like dugan in its disinformation machine. in fact , dugan is one of a variety of figures from the west who moved to russia and who look alike are working to spread pro-kremlin disinformation, their number is growing. among such figures is tara ridt - a former employee of the us government who moved to russia and accused joe biden of sexual assault, and there is a youtube blogger from great britain named mike jones. who can be compared to dugan. in addition to these people who are in russia, there are other people, such as pro-kremlin journalists. and the kremlin has been using these western pro-kremlin journalists for years to... spread disinformation. when you talk about the tactics and talk about the different types of narratives that were spread by this

network of disinformation, you note the high level of preparation of the materials, in particular the case in which they used videos of actors who seem to thank zelensky for the film. how different it is from the usual kremlin fakes. in my experience, typical russian disinformation narratives often rely on a single piece of evidence, if anything at all, perhaps some false information or fabricated documents or staged footage or a post about the kremlin telegram channel. usually this is just one piece of evidence and it's pretty minor. last december, dugan's network leaked information that zelensky had allegedly bought a villa owned by nazi propaganda minister joseph goebbels, and the information was multi-layered. it had its roots in youtube videos, as do most such narratives. in this video, a person who identified himself as an employee of a german government real estate company said that the government had sold

joseph goebbels' villa to zelensky. another new element is the integration of artificial intelligence many of the sites in this disinformation network use artificial intelligence to rewrite content and the vast majority of what they publish is real news copied from other news organizations. this is definitely something new. when this process can be easily managed from your own apartment at this level, because it would not have been possible before, to manage 1,607 sites with quite detailed campaigns without a team of people. download the voice of america mobile application. the application allows you to automatically bypass blocking thanks to the built-in vpn service. read news, watch informative programs and videos, and listen to podcasts. voice of america ukrainian service. and that's the end of it. thank you for watching voice of america, in ukrainian. see you tomorrow, all the best, take
