this is a multi-year agreement that establishes the foundations, it will help, for example, american companies to feel that it is safe to invest in ukraine, that it is possible to work together with ukrainian companies, to create joint ventures, and this will definitely benefit the ukrainian armed industrial sector. the agreement also talks about training in the usa, and it was very important that after 2014, the usa, canada, great britain and others were ready to train the armed forces of ukraine, so continue this cooperation. in addition, this agreement provides for certain contingency steps repeated aggression of russia and establishes that the future of ukraine is in nato. however, this is very much so, such a general thesis, as the former united states ambassador to nato told us, such general statements without reinforcement with concrete steps are no longer believed. the most important, the most important shortcoming of this agreement is that it does not provide for any amount of specific funding, as it is provided for in agreements with other countries. such as the united kingdom,

germany or japan, and instead the treaty stipulates that the coverage of costs in respect of all these the intentions that the united states has announced in this agreement, it will be done through requests to congress, meaning the administration will go to congress, congress must then approve it, we've already seen the delays with that, and that's how kurtwalker explained it to us. let's listen to kurt's commentary. in okera, if we have it. maria, we see we don't have a comment from kurt walker, but one more important question is whether there are guarantees that the united states, like other countries, will continue to honor the commitments that are they taking over, according to these agreements that they signed, for 10 years or however long those agreements are? yulia, this is a very important question, but i will still return to kurt's comment, because it is also important. he said that the united states ... did not

provide any specific amount in this treaty precisely because congress is supposed to allocate this money in order to avoid criticism of congress, problems with congress, this step was taken: if we talk about obligations regarding this agreement, one must understand what ukraine is called security guarantees, all other countries call it a security treaty, of course it is better than the budapest memorandum, which was three points, these treaties are clearer, more prescribed, more specific, at the same time they do not have any legal... force, that's all political declarations of intent, firstly, even in this treaty with the united states it is indicated that none of the clauses of this treaty lead to the appearance of rights or obligations of any of the parties, in relation to international or domestic legal documents, and secondly, in order for it to be legal nature, such an international treaty must be ratified by congress, congress has not yet done so, and we do not even know if it intends to do so, and besides, another important condition here is that either party can. .. withdraw from this agreement

unilaterally, giving the other party 6 months notice, and this means that if the political climate, political leadership of the country changes, the united states can simply withdraw from this agreement and already have a different political course. maria, thank you, that is clear. i think the administration is it did to avoid criticism, they didn't, it was kurt walker's comment after all, which was just... explaining what you've already relayed, maria, again, about why that particular funding clause wasn't included, again let's recall, as kurt walker says, he says that after all, everything, all funding should be agreed by congress, so that this agreement would be easier, actually to avoid criticism, as kurt walker says, the administration did not do this. i have one more question for bohdan. bohdan, you are leaving for switzerland tomorrow, where are you this weekend the ukrainian peace summit is taking place. on the eve of this event, the russian leader.

putin put forward his terms for negotiations, which contradict all the principles of a just peace. what are the expectations from the results of this summit, and what in the end with the international pressure this just peace, can this just peace be possible? ukrainians want a just peace, and of course, the ukrainian president and ukraine's partners emphasize this, but what will happen tomorrow in switzerland is first and foremost. the first step towards a possible peace process, and the parties emphasize that at this stage it is important to show the solidarity of the world community around ukraine, around ukrainian demands for justice, the swiss organizers announced today that 100 countries will be represented, ukraine needs this very much, in this case it is about the number , precisely about the number, but this is the first... step, it is not even the beginning of the peace

process, it is possible only if russia really wants to end the war and achieve peace with ukraine, what today stated the russian... president, this is a repetition of those ultimatums, encroachment on ukrainian territory, attempts to subjugate ukraine, the same as before, and some commentators, for example, with whom i had the opportunity to speak, they say that at the moment everything indicates that the fate of peace, the fate of the end of the war is decided at the front, is decided by force, as long as russia hopes that it can solve this issue by force, as long as ukraine has... the opportunity to defend itself and hope to repel a russian attack, until then, there will be war, for sure continue until something changes. we have literally a minute left before the vice president of the united states, kamela harris, leaves for the peace summit that is taking place in switzerland. with

what messages is the united states going to this summit, because kyiv has a lot of expectations precisely for the participation of washington? i think it is outlined in those. the documents and the declaration that was signed today, in particular by the united states also here on behalf of president joe biden, and what is stated in other documents and the treaty about the desire for a just peace on the basis of international laws and the principles of the un charter, that is, it can be said that putin there today declared some claims to certain territories or efforts to... in ukraine politics obey some principles of moscow, at the moment this is again a repetition of ultimatums, which we have already heard a long time ago, the basis of what ukraine's partners base their policy and demands on is international law, the principles of respect for

sovereignty and territorial integrity stipulated by the un charter. thank you bohdan, we will definitely summarize this topic already next week. bohdan was in contact with italy. maria olyanovska and together we summed up a productive week for ukraine. thank you very much, colleagues. the war in ukraine and the middle east, as well as the us's strategic competition with china, remain key issues for american diplomacy, regardless of who wins the presidential election in november. this is indicated by american analysts. my colleague petzi vedakuswara researched joe biden's and donald trump's foreign policy priorities. politics, says iryna shinkarenko. if look to 2025, a permanent gas ceasefire may still be out of reach. the war of attrition in ukraine may continue, and china will continue to be a threat. regardless of who wins the

presidential election, joe biden or donald trump? these challenges will remain. biden's foreign policy during his second term will be based on the same principles as during his first. global leadership. and multi-vectority. the united states will compete and compete vigorously and lead based on our values ​​and our strength we will defend our allies and friends. in addition, focus on an area that the biden administration believes should be improved. the main initiative with the congress is to make real the promise to unlock resources for developing countries. that means more american investment in programs. development of the banking sector and various infrastructure projects around the world. the goal is to counter china's global development initiatives. the us will support various international projects such as the lobito corridor connecting zambia, the democratic republic of the congo and angola. we can not only develop

transportation capacity to provide resources for our clean energy supply chain, but also unlock the vast rural. in the event of trump's victory, international development will not receive as much attention. to make america richer, safer, stronger, prouder and more beautiful than ever before. i think we have the last chance for this. although trump's slogan is america first, this does not mean that his foreign policy is isolationist. surely a transactionalist? yes, but i am i believe that the most interesting part of his foreign policy is the extent to which, according to his vision, it is possible to use the tools of american influence in different ways. unwavering support for israel, conditional aid to ukraine

, and strong rivalry with china. these are the principles of foreign policy proposed for the second term by the america first policy institute, an analytical center associated with trump. these are three issues that any new administration will have to deal with, and it will have to try a peace approach through force while it's not yet clear who will win in november, it's clear that ... that foreign policy won't be a deciding factor in the campaign, with polls showing that most americans are more concerned about inflation, the economy, immigration and crime than about us activities abroad. iryna shynkarenko, petsivida kusfara, voice of america, washington. there will never be sufficient punishment for war crimes, believes journalist evgenia. since 2014, she has been covering russian invasions and documenting war crimes. she

- the author of the book girls cut their braids about the female face of war, for which she received the shevchenko prize. from the first days of the full-scale invasion, such a resident of irpen began documenting the testimonies of victims and eyewitnesses of russian war crimes. my colleague iryna solomko spoke with evgenia in new york. a fragment of their conversation follows. evgenia, here you are from the beginning. of a full-scale invasion, you are engaged in research, probably and recording, documenting war crimes, whether enough has been said about them and is being said in ukraine? i think that for sure, even in 10 years, we will not describe everything that the russians have already done on our territory and all the crimes that they have committed, it is difficult to estimate now, because we do not really know to the end, well, how many of these crimes there were in general carried out, we do not know, for example, we know very little about what is happening now in the occupied territories, it is... only some rumors, some isolated ones, there is very episodic information that reaches us, we still

do not understand everything that happened in the villages, because well, really, even in spite of the fact that a huge number of people are working on documentation, but these forces do not seem to me to be enough at the moment. as for the full-scale invasion, you studied the experience of the balkans, but if you analyze now, see some parallels between ukraine and the balkans, do you see them or not, and in what context. anyway, your prediction is when we might see the first such concrete cases? i'm in the balkans, i was somewhere in the 19th year, i went to bosnia, i was in serbia, in croatia and in north macedonia a little bit, and i tried to communicate with people, go in the museum, just to the places where something happened, to understand their politics of memory, this is all happening, and in fact, well, on the one hand, of course there are many parallels, which, for example, between us and bosnia, we understand that this is unprecedented absolutely the scale of violence that... these are very similar problems that we face, such as the identification of bodies,

the remains of the dead, these are the stories that will continue for years, these are the missing persons, only in bosnia they cannot be there 30 years to find, so almost, we cannot find these people there for two years, conditionally. i think that if the punishment for war crimes and war crimes of that era had been effective, then perhaps this war would not have happened, because in my opinion, the law does not work now... it is enough, because if it worked international law and if its violator would be there immediately received serious sanctions, it would simply be, well, russia , in fact, it did not immediately invade the territory of ukraine on a full scale, it first tried little by little, little by little, saw that oh, it was convincing, forgive the slang, and then as if, well, roughly speaking they did not stop it in time, yes, if international law had worked and russia had been completely banned after the crimea, well, what happened now might not have happened, that is, as far as i am concerned... it still does not work, it seems to me, for war crimes there will never be enough punishment, they

shot several people under my house, and i do not see in the existing international law enough punishment for such crimes, they raped children, i do not see enough punishment in modern legislation, that is , for me it will never be enough, probably us we understand that not all war criminals will be punished, all war criminals and russians, they will not be... well, no court will punish physical persons, secondly, these trials last a very long time, so we understand that some of the war criminals there he hid for 20 years, and he was caught there, he lived his own life, eh, that is, we understand that many crimes will go unpunished, and i think that this is precisely the risk, so that simply, when a criminal feels his impunity, it stimulates him, if he continued to create, create evil, i want too i want to talk to you about an equally interesting one, for which you received the shevchenko prize, and it was for your project about girls

cutting their braids, these are women who passed the ato, i am very interested in where these women are now, have they returned to line, did they leave him, and what is their further fate, well, this is a very painful topic for me, because four of them are no longer alive, the fate of the fifth is unknown, we do not know where she is, she formally disappeared , sometimes it is said that... she was found in captivity, but the russians published her documents as dead, and it is probably there, you know, when sometimes they say the shevchenko prize, in fact, regalia, they are worthless, what is worth is that these... people remained with us, at least in this form, and we can hear them, even when they are already with us no, but some women, they fight, they continue to fight, or continue to perform tasks, because there are women who are now in more stylish, if units, some became a mother, some, unfortunately, a widow, that is, their destinies are different developed, but i say, the most painful thing is that several of them

is gone, and this is what, in fact, i am a little proud of, that thanks to this book we, we will hear them for a long time to come. how much has the position of women in the army changed, that is, you have been researching this topic since the 14th year, do you see not just quantitative changes, but qualitative changes? now, well, at least from my subjective observations, in the majority, well , if people are used to women in the army, they are used to women as a common phenomenon, that is, of course, we understand that now the army has changed, many new people have come, perhaps with their own prejudices , i will not speak for of all, there are women who really feel a certain discrimination and they... this means that they are not accepted for combat there, but still, in my subjective opinion, the position of women in the army has improved significantly , women can already hold positions, command positions, combat positions, and most importantly, women are already perceived as commanders, that is, there is one incredible woman that i just want to shout about everywhere, this is olena petyak, 128 brigade, now she is in the landing unit transferred, this is a girl who is in one of

of the most difficult moments of the battles for bakhmut, not far from solidar, its commander was killed and the deputy commander was wounded, and this is a woman who took command of the company, she is not even 30, that is, she is a young woman, and it would seem that men there, who are there twice older than her, they obeyed her and respected her a lot, because in fact, in those conditions , it seems to me that it is no longer so important what gender it is, it is important how you show yourself, if a person shows that he has the abilities for it, he has it if it was motivation, then i think that there are no such problems now will be, which were in the 14th year, in the 15th year, what are you working on now, and now i want to return... because no matter how much we work, we will still not collect all the evidence, and it will take years , that is, it may not make sense to disperse now, and it makes sense to focus on collecting as much evidence as possible, which will then become the basis for anything, for memorial projects, for some thematic books, maybe for some artistic quality literature, so now in the near future i i plan to work on a large memorial

project, to collect evidence, if only so that nothing was forgotten. ukrainian veterans with serious injuries took part in a golf tournament at the american andrews air force base near washington. this sports competition is organized by a charitable organization to raise funds for the rehabilitation of veterans. my colleague andriy borys watched the tournament. andrews air force base golf course near washington. a favorite place for grigolf not only of american military sergeants, generals, soldiers, officers, but also of american soldiers. and businessmen, former president barack obama often came here to play golf. several dozen ukrainian and american veterans gathered on the field today. they are participants in a golf tournament organized by the charity organization bodyland. the goal is to raise money for the rehabilitation of military personnel who fought during the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine. the price of the land is 500 m, which is

it an honor to support those who fought in ukraine. washington, one of the founding fathers, our first president, once said that a nation will be defined by how it cares for its heroes, its veterans. it is equally important for ukraine when you think about the people who rose up to fight for the survival of the country. if you don't take care of them, the others will not rise to the fight. this is a really important message for everyone ukraine, europe and the world. their service, their donation is appreciated and they will be taken care of. golf is a popular game. among the american military. hundreds of military bases have their own golf courses. this game helps create a brotherly spirit in the team and distracts from the hard work, says golf instructor oliver. i am convinced that playing golf is therapy, and not only physical, but also mental, communication, being in the fresh air, enjoying nature, all this is very energizing, the body

turns the spine along one axis, okay, i let's try and rest a little already, oleksiy military, who was recently injured and is undergoing rehabilitation, says sports culture among americans. however, playing sports is impossible without the necessary infrastructure, especially for wounded fighters. oleksandr hopes to find sponsors in the united states for the construction of a rehabilitation center in his native nizhny. the population is 70,000, and we do not have a single

revolutionary center, veterans are wounded so badly, well, more than 500 people. i need a pool every day, i need if it's physical exercise, i can do it myself, then without a pool i can't, let's say, exist. the founder of the bordeland charity, which organized the tournament. cook says golf is an ideal place to make business contacts. the goal of the tournament is to build deep personal connections between representatives of the defense sphere, soldiers, business, and the political elite of the united states and ukraine. and we will hold this tournament every year, we will make it bigger and bigger. all funds from our event go to research and treatment of veterans in ukraine, as well as advocating for a change in policy regarding psychological treatment. tens of thousands of dollars to help veterans during the tournament. the organizers also held a charity auction, as a result, they managed to collect several
