there, nato to be increasingly operationally compatible with nato by canceling the requirements for the membership action plan, as well as by deepening political cooperation in the nato ukraine council, and then we will make a decision when the time comes. maria, another important thing that jen stoltenberg said, he said that it's very important now to make sure that ukraine has the capabilities, has the military power, so that when the hostilities end, it's not a pause, it's a final peace, and he said , that the final guarantee of security will be... article five of the nato charter, that is, membership in alliance. thank you yulia, it was voice of america correspondent in the white house, yulia yarmolenko. the peace summit in switzerland created a platform on which ukraine can stand and move forward to negotiate from a position of strength and ensure a just peace. this is how white house adviser on national security jake sullivan characterized the results of the conference. for the past two days

, it has been very interesting to watch the messages on a sort of split screen. one is what we heard from president putin when he laid out his vision for peace a few days ago, in which, according to him , ukraine must not only surrender the territory currently occupied by russia, but also leave additional sovereign ukrainian territory before russia begins negotiations. and also that ukraine should disarm and become vulnerable to future russian aggression. will not say that this is a reasonable basis for peace, it is contrary to the un charter, it is contrary to basic morality, it is contrary to basic common sense, in contrast, the vision of peace that has been put forward here by many different countries, ukraine is not in the rules, and all of us signed up to these rules, and we would like to live in a world where these rules rule, because they give us all security, it's the right vision for moving forward, and so this summit, from our point of view... is an important

milestone on the way to a just peace. the united states will proudly walk with ukraine on this path to the victory of ukraine and the reign of peace. switzerland and ukraine called the peace summit a success, but admitted that the gathering is not the beginning of the peace process, but only helps create conditions for possible negotiations on the end of the russian war against ukraine. my colleague bohdan summed up the results of the conference with the participation of more than 100 countries of the world on the air of the briefing program. who worked on the event, this event, it was actually a high-level peace conference, that's what the swiss insisted on calling it, at least in the initial stages, it's an artistic name you might say, a global peace summit, but the essence of it, at a luxury resort here in switzerland with were driving er, representatives of almost a hundred,

hundreds of countries and organizations, i emphasize, are here there were not only, not only the heads of states and governments, there was, for example, patriarch bartholomew, the patriarch of constantinople, there was the head of the world bank, there were other prominent representatives, that is, this is a serious gathering, which in general developed such a common voice, and this, if... . we say, you know, we often talk about the fact that the russian war against ukraine is hybrid, yes, it is combined, there are battles, russia is bombarding ukrainian cities with missiles, cruise missiles and bombs and drones, at the same time there is an information war, yes, with there is also a war, a confrontation on the diplomatic front in... in the international

community, russia is trying to sway a certain part of the world, so when we talk about the very fact of the meeting, about the fact that prominent representatives of many countries came, the vice president, kamala harris , the president of france, emmanuel macron, mr. scholz, the chancellor of germany and so on and so forth, that is, in diplomatic terms, this is of course what you can do. to agree when the ukrainian representatives, when the swiss and ukrainians say that yes, this is a success, they wanted to collect this powerful voice in support of ukraine's vision of how this war should be ended, and this voice was heard, these statements were heard so loudly that russia was forced to respond to them in some way, because although russia could not be isolated... but

nevertheless, this voice rang out, rang out loudly. as for the practical or impractical or real results, the ukrainian... er, the representative, the ukrainian minister of foreign affairs, dmytro kuleba, said at this meeting that so far the war is going on, all other fronts, so to speak say, informational, diplomatic and others aimed at helping to defend oneself, this is now the most important thing, this is how he talked about it from a journalist. today, the path to peace and restoration of ukraine begins with air defense and weapons that strengthen our soldiers on the battlefield. the stronger ukraine is, the more russia will be ready for peace. bohdan, i know you also managed to be at the press conference, the final one, and in particular

to raise the issue of military, military supplies, yes, to ukraine, whether this aid is enough. we know that diplomacy is diplomacy, but in the end, many agree that... the end of this war will depend on the development of actions, the development of events on the battlefield, what was your answer to this? yes, let's start with the fact that the ukrainian minister of foreign affairs said that supplying, helping the ukrainian army, this is the most important thing, and of course then the question arises, and these guests of the summit with very, very good words and very... very good statements, do they help they are where it matters the most now, and this is exactly the question i chose for the ukrainian one to the president, how successful was my question, his, let's say,

how satisfactory was his answer, please, we can see, voice of america, my question is about the war and the support that... ukraine receives from the international community. nato secretary general jens stoltenberg recently stated that aid to ukraine was insufficient and often late. is it still insufficient and late? is there help, are there serious packages? is it enough to win? you, no, is she late, yes, will there be an increase in these packages, we are working on it, we are working every day, thank you, until ukraine is ready for negotiations, ideally from a position of strength, the us

will continue to provide kyiv with defense, humanitarian, energy and diplomatic assistance. my colleague myroslava gongadze was assured of this in an interview by the director of european affairs. michael carpenter in the us national security council. i believe that this is a great day for ukraine. this is a truly successful attempt to attract countries from all over the world to support the ukrainian vision of peace, a just, strong, long-lasting peace, based primarily on on the un charter and the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity. it is very important that countries join and articulate their support for such a vision. there are countries from latin america, africa, and the east. the united states is represented by vice president harris, who emphasized this message of unity. i think it's great. china and russia are not here, how important is it that they are also at the table?

it is quite clear from putin's speech the other day that russia has no intention of promoting peace and participating in good faith negotiations. requires capitulation, he demands not only almost 20% of the ukrainian territory currently occupied by russia, but also an additional 3-4%, which the ukrainians must give to russia. these are dishonest negotiations, they are not negotiations based on the principles of international law, such as sovereignty and territorial integrity. so the current meeting was an opportunity for those countries that believe in international law to come together to... create a framework for future negotiations at the moment when ukraine feels that it is ready for it. would it help if china was present here? i i think that china has demonstrated that it has to some extent bet on russia. i mean,

we've seen the support that the prc gives to the russian defense industrial base. we 're talking about components like nitrocellulose, microprocessors, optics, and other things you'll use directly. for russian weapons and not only in ukraine. and it is important for our european partners to understand that this poses a long-term threat to european security. so i think beijing has to ask itself, which one is it? position, whether it is based on international right or on something else? this summit here is dedicated to the fact that we must uphold international law. there is a lot of talk about achieving peace, how can we talk about achieving peace without russia at the table, if russia does not want to negotiate at all. currently, the usa is determined to support ukraine with military and humanitarian aid. aid, until the moment when ukraine will be energy aid, diplomatically

ready for negotiations, ideally from the position of strength. and that is why the last few days in italy at the summit of the simi group were like that important, because what have we done? we have unblocked $50 billion of russian sovereign assets, funds that will be used to provide a loan to ukraine. we introduced sanctions against russia and in the end , president biden signed a very important, historic, i would say, bilateral security agreement with president zelensky. one of the first types of weapons that ukraine acquired from the us in 2018. at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, these systems also played an important role in resisting russian forces. how livestock works at the front and what it provides their high accuracy, anna kostyuchenko and pavel sukhodolsky learned. holy

javelin. this is how the ukrainians christened the american anti-tank complex at the beginning of a full-scale invasion. the javelin can be used in difficult weather conditions, in the dark and in the smoke, says a sergeant with the call sign yar, a 34-year-old anti-tanker originally from poltava. greater temperature difference, that is, there is no such thing, you know, mirage, which, evaporation of moisture from the field and things like that. the us military adopted the javelin in the middle 90s of the last century. it was successfully used in iraq in 2003. the first complexes began arriving in ukraine in the spring of 2018 , although primarily javelins. anti-tank weapons, the ukrainian military also hit russian helicopters with them. they

are capable of destroying enemy armored vehicles at a distance of 2.5 to 4 km. javelins, as a rule, are sent to the hottest areas of the front as part of anti-tank battalions. the anti-tank battalion relies on such tasks as preventing the enemy from penetrating the defense forces of ukraine and formation of anti-tank reserves. in case of what advancing these anti-tank reserves in the directions where the enemy was wedged. special simulators have been developed for javelin training. we observe the technique in 4x zoom. operators learn, among other things, not to take their eyes off the eyepiece. we need to clearly set the framework for our goal. you see, he got them wrong, you see, he, they diverge, converge. when they are flashing, it means they are not locked. this... simulator helps to work out the full cycle of actions, from turning on to launching the rocket. to make a shot

with a javelin, one person is enough. at point 1.4. however, more often the calculation consists of two or three fighters. at the training ground, a 35-year-old driver with the call sign mercedes is training with a combat medic. teams instill such military versatility in us. it's very important, so... i'm actually, well, if a driver, but i can be the same as the second number there, i know a minimum of medicine, i can be there on the mortar, on the second means. the man has been fighting since february 24, 2022, before the full-scale russian invasion, he was developing his car repair business and dreaming to expand the business, that is, it was a business that i really liked, that i really wanted to develop in some, well... to large scales, but these ugly people came and broke everything. the 22-year-old combat medic with the call sign

poet was an ordinary kharkiv student before the invasion of the russians, he went to fight on february 27, 2022. after the third year, i learned a lot. well, my main motivation is to not come to my house, to my family. javelin is considered the first serial atgm of the third generation, which is equipped with a sight, fired a shot, forgot. shot! the operator of the complex should not adjust the flight of the missile after launch. atgm females. is adjusted automatically, explains sergeant yar. after the launch, you can not observe, the rocket itself will prove itself, it has templates of equipment, both soviet and other, but mainly soviet, all completely lazy linear dimensions, during the flight it constantly compares the picture it

receives with the templates that it is embedded in it, and it is also additionally adjusted, that is, well done americans, they did a very good job of duplicating the system, not only it is guided by thermal imaging, but also compares the picture. it is the homing technology that makes the javelin the most expensive among analogues in the world. the approximate cost of one complex is 175 thousand dollars. the rocket itself costs 80,000. to date, the united states has transferred approximately 10,000 missiles to ukraine, according to various sources. however, yar says, javelins are only a small one. component of modern warfare. this is the main drawback, that people overestimate it and think that it can replace everything. it is clear that we are very grateful to our partners for their help, and we would like more, but the javelin is a cog, not a replacement for everything we have. the war in ukraine has made

the javelin so popular that the manufacturer has already increased production to 20,400 missiles per year, and by the end of 2026 they plan to produce almost 4,000 each year, almost twice as many as before the russian invasion of ukraine. anna kostyuchenko, pavil sukhodolskyi for voice of america from the east of ukraine. russia and cuba held joint naval exercises. the pentagon said that the maneuvers do not pose a threat to the united states, but they are being monitored there by russian ships in havana. what kind of signal did the kremlin want with these actions. the rulers of the west, the voice of america journalists say. ships of the russian navy enter the port of havana, among them the frigate gorshkov and the nuclear submarine kazan stand out. the russian ministry of defense assures that none of these warships have nuclear weapons, and this visit poses no threat to anyone. observers consider this an attempt by the kremlin to show the world

that russia has allies in south america. in the context of the full-scale invasion of russia in ukraine in 2022, it really adds an additional level of provocation, so to speak, shows its muscles, to show that russia is not alone, not isolated to an international accomplice, and everything that can influence other countries from a military point of view, to show presence, strength and deployment. but in the current atmosphere of tension between russia and the west, washington does not see this visit as ordinary and is watching it especially closely. after us president joe biden approved ukraine's use of american weapons against the entire territory of russia some western security analysts say that in any case the physical threat from the russian fleet in these waters is minimal. the ability of the russian navy to sustain any kind of competition with the united states' naval forces, so to speak, in the us's backyard, is very limited in

any combat context. the arrival of russian warships in the harbor on... is reminiscent of the cuban missile crisis of 1962, when the united states and the soviet union were on the brink of nuclear confrontation, experts say. then we were closer than ever to that to blow up the world, because the united states did not know that the soviet union had actually delivered missile warheads to the island. this time , analysts believe moscow is sending a message that amid growing international isolation, it still has friends in far-flung corners of the world. yuri mamon, ricardo markina, voice of america. this weekend , for the first time during the full-scale war , a procession of representatives of the lgbt community kyiv pride took place in kyiv. activists say that more than half a thousand people took part, including a group of lgbt soldiers. at the same time, in the us,

the number of adults who identify as non-heterosexual is over seven. how the presidential candidates are campaigning for this important group of voters in the november elections, see further in the story. according to estimates by the gelep institute, more than 7% of american adults identify as lgbtq plus. among them are lesbians, gays, bisexuals or those who question their sexual orientation. that community was outraged in 2017 by a tweet by then- president donald trump. trump about the ban transgender people to serve in the army. joe biden , within the first week of his presidency , lifted this ban. transgender personnel can serve their government. in the us army if they meet all other requirements. it is a great relief when the administration understands who we are and values ​​us as american citizens. joe biden also

signed the respect for marriage act, which gave federal rights to same-sex families. addressing the lgbtq plus community at a white house event, he noted the following: you are loved, you are heard, you are understood, you are part of us. many of my rights as a gay man may be at risk when it comes to other parties, so one of the reasons i'm supporting biden in this election is because of the views he stands for. former president donald trump was the first president to appoint an openly gay administration, but he has generally taken a more conservative stance. he said god created two sexes: male and female. what about these pronouns? if you really study it and look at it all, it's bad, it's sick, i'll defend what on the side of god, we will defend the meaning and content directed to god. it is a narrative

supported by his constituents. the republican side is more in agreement with what the bible says on abortion abolition and lgbtq disenfranchisement. president biden has denounced the state's conservative laws, which are restrictive. sex reassignment surgeries and sexual orientation lessons, former us president donald trump promises the following on his company's website. on day one, i will repeal joe biden's hard-line yes policy so-called gender support program. it's a process that involves giving children puberty blockers, altering their appearance, and eventually performing surgery on underage children. the adviser of the democratic party emphasizes that this is traditional. the views of the republican party that are supported by republican voters. they're anti-immigrant, they're anti-transgender, they're anti-gay, and trump

has known it, he's accepted it, he's sticking to it. these voters helped biden win in states with volatile political preferences in 2020. a poll by the rights group glad shows similarly strong support for biden. at the same time, they call on the republican party to focus on... economic issues, and not on limiting their rights. oleksiy kovalenko, karolin presuti, voice of america, washington. we conclude with this, maria prus worked for you in the studio. see other stories of the ukrainian voice of america service on our website, in social networks, and also subscribe to our youtube and telegram channels. thank you for your trust, see you on the air.
