the administration says that it is forbidden to shoot there. why force ukraine to fight with its hands tied? i am a big supporter of allowing ukraine to lift these restrictions and hit the russians. for now, they just need it. the ukrainian delegations that visited washington did a phenomenal job of talking about ukrainian bravery and resilience and how ukraine can win this war if we provide the necessary support. that's why i support. relaxation of these restrictions, i believe it is important to provide the necessary intelligence support, material support and arms support, including relaxation of these restrictions. in order for both ukraine and israel to be able to wage respective wars, they must be able not only to defend themselves, but also to wage war in such a way as to destroy the military enemy. and i think the administration has to recognize that a lot of the decisions that they 've made throughout this war have had a ...

negative impact on the ability of ukraine and israel to do what they're supposed to do. i see there is support in the house for using larger radio attacks referees and providing more attacks in general. currently, such support comes in the form of public statements and direct contacts with the administration. i have yet to see any legislative amendments that would require this, but it could come in the form of a legislative amendment. interesting comments of legislators. it looks like the republicans and democrats, at least the ones you've talked to, are basically united in their position, and are there any other efforts to influence the situation other than this recent letter from congressman mike turner? so far , there have been no new statements or appeals to the biden administration from congress, but as we've just heard in comments from lawmakers, including both democrats and republicans, some have said that in addition to these public statements and appeals to the biden administration, the next step could be be the introduction of certain amendments to the current consideration of certain legislation in... and these

amendments will demand at the legislative level from the biden administration to remove all restrictions, in particular on the use of attacks for the ukrainian army. but i will note that on this week, especially with the house now on recess, so expect more news next week, and we 'll actually be keeping an eye on that. katya, thank you for leading this topic. kateryna lisunova, our correspondent at the congress, was in touch. speaking of other stories too, israel may decide to go to war with the lebanese hezbollah in the near future. this was reported in the ministry of foreign affairs of the country. such a statement was made against the background of hezbollah's publication of a video from a drone, which shows surveillance of various facilities in israel. together with the representatives, together with this, the representatives of this country emphasize that now ukraine and israel are essentially facing the same axis of evil with russia and iran. myroslava gongadze asked yuel edelstein, the head of the israeli delegation at the global peace summit in switzerland, for more information about ukraine's support. we

support the declaration and we are one of the countries that are signatories to this declaration. all in all, i think it's becoming more and more obvious that we're essentially on the same side now ukraine, due to the very close and strategic cooperation between russia and iran. iranian drones and missiles are used in ukraine. russian technology is being used by the iranians to support their proxy groups in our region. hezbollah, hamas, armed groups in syria and iraq. so i think that... we have to work closely together or stand up to them. do you see any similarities or connections between the war in the middle east and the russian war in ukraine. frankly speaking, i believe that we are participants in the same war. same as me already said, there is an axis of evil with different priorities. i am absolutely sure that the destruction of the state of israel is not a priority for russia. the war in ukraine is important to them, but the destruction of the state of israel is a priority for them. they say, this

is quite open, this is not my vision of the conflict, and russia and iran are closely cooperating, so in the end, cooperation in the field of weapons, exchange of advanced experience and technology, turning ukraine into a kind of battlefield with iranian drones, all this is immediately reflected in our war , so i have to say that being here and listening to the speeches, on the one hand, it was very encouraging to see how many countries support ukraine and understand the situation, it sometimes hurt me as an israeli. you see that not everyone understands that we are fighting the same war. these are the comments of the head of the israeli delegation at the peace summit in switzerland. we return to american topics and talk about the fact that today the usa celebrates a federal holiday - john tint, which some still call the second day of independence. this day replaces the cancellation slavery in the former confederate states at the end of the civil war. these days , presidential candidates joe biden and donald trump have decided to appeal to black voters. will continue. anastasia savenko and

iryna shinkarenko. president joe biden hosted a june twins concert at the white house on the eve of the holiday. our history is not only about the past, it is about our present. our future, the question is whether that future is a future for all of us and not just for some of us. biden said his political opponents are trying rewrite history there are people with old views who are trying to turn us back. well, there are those who take away your freedoms, make it difficult for black people to vote or have your vote counted, close the doors of opportunity to them, attack diversity, attack equality. and inclusiveness. donald trump's campaign headquarters launched the black americans for trump coalition on saturday. after the former president addressed black voters at a church in michigan. this is a very important direction for us. we did more for the black population, and i say this with pride, more than any

president since abraham lincoln. this is really important. trump said black voters are losing their jobs because of millions of illegal aliens. each state is a border state. yes, you know this, but they come into your community and take your work. they affect african americans and then hispanics more than any other group. trump also said that black communities are suffering from rising crime rates under biden. crime is most prevalent right here in african-american communities, and more and more people are seeing me and saying, we want protection, we want the police to protect us, we don't want to be robbed. beaten and killed, we just want to cross the street to buy bread. fbi data shows that violent crime in the u.s. is down across the country, in both large and small cities. biden says black voters helped him get elected four years ago, and he needs their help again.

precisely because black americans voted, kamala and i are president and vice president of the united states. it's all because of you, it's not...donald trump a loser again. four years ago, only 8% of black voters chose trump. a pw research poll in this campaign shows that 18% of black voters support trump. and that jump could turn the tables on swing states, including michigan. iryna shenkarenko, anastasia savenko, scot stearns, voice of america. at the beginning of 2023, about 12,000 foreign media received accreditation to work in ukraine, while more than a third of journalists drew attention to the complexity of this

procedure, and some could not get accreditation at all. iryna solomko asked foreign journalists how their working conditions in ukraine differ from covering conflicts in other countries. countries of the world, its story follows. allen chin is an american photographer and journalist, he started covering conflicts at the end of 1999, when the war in the former yugoslavia began. after that, he worked in afghanistan and iraq, israel and palestine. in he came to ukraine for the first time in the spring of 2014. he saw the beginning of a full-scale invasion with his own eyes. comparing all these conflicts, he says: in ukraine, there is a real conventional and very... this is a war of two opposing armies, weapons that are used more and more perfectly than in some other conflicts. we saw many journalists killed or injured in those first months because the

frontline was moving and they didn't necessarily know where they were. at the beginning of the full-scale invasion on the territory of ukraine, 68 journalists died. it is physical security, according to... mochyna is one of the excuses of the ukrainian government when it decides to give or not to give access to this or that territory. chin says access for foreign journalists, especially freelancers, is too regulated and limited, meaning there is no direct censorship, but there is a desire to control access to information. i understand that there are military operations going on and security needs to be ensured, but i don't think there is much good reason for the government to restrict the activities of journalists. gulnoza sait, coordinator of programs on european issues and central asia of the committee to protect journalists, says ukraine remains a high-risk zone for media representatives. journalists covering other issues, such as corruption, also face harassment, intimidation and surveillance.

we document it. there were accreditation issues where officials did not want journalists to have access to the frontline or other areas to work freely. therefore, we advocate for the safety of journalists and at the same time for them to be able to work freely. also the site draws attention to the fact that the committee for the protection of journalists receives complaints about the selective approach that... the ukrainian authorities have towards journalists? there are a handful of journalists who are considered an elite group because they cover events in well-known authoritative media, and this is what the ukrainian authorities care about. she does not care how events are covered by smaller media or journalists, freelancers. this is very wrong, because we need an equal approach to all journalists. at the same time, chin points out the restriction of access for journalists in the conflict zone common government practice. as old as journalism and war itself. we have seen this from

the american government in iraq and afghanistan. journalists could only work with the american military. this is how journalists become dependent on soldiers, on food, transport, and access. we have very little freedom of movement. especially in iraq, opportunities to work were very limited, because practically all foreigners, not only journalists, were targeted. as for ukraine. received a number of rejections, he is interested in the topic of infrastructure, covered works ukrzaliznytsia and ukrposhta, but he was not allowed to work at the port of odesa and to make a material about the black sea grain initiative. i could neither go into the port nor talk to anyone there, and it was too much, because this story was civilian, it was a diplomatic story and an economic one, not a military one. i've always fought against it in every conflict i 've worked in because i believe... our important role as journalists is that we need to push as hard as we can to get as much

access as possible. simon schuster is a political columnist of the american publication time, he is actively working in ukraine, this is his first conflict. shuster has specialized in eastern europe for many years and worked in russia. many political reporters, including me, had to learn to be military correspondents. it includes learning how to work in a... environment, how to be safe, and it also includes understanding how to cover war sensitively and honestly, how to get to the truth in a war zone , try to understand what's going on and not be manipulated by the participants conflict he also talks about restrictions and instructions from the ukrainian special services and the military, for example, a ban on removing roadblocks or deploying troops, or disseminating any information that could lead to the death of people, for which you can lose your accreditation. my editors understand why these rules exist. of course,

the work that journalists do in shaping public opinion about war is very important, but human lives are more important. there were, unfortunately, tragic cases that i heard about at the beginning of a full-scale invasion where a foreign the journalist broadcast live from the active position of the ukrainian military, and this gave the position to the russians. shuster was lucky, already during the negotiations he got personal access to... the ukrainian president, as a result he wrote a biographical book about volodymyr zelenskyi, the head of state says very openly, many different introductory words. i can't imagine an american president's administration being so open, especially during a time of war. for me, the openness and readiness of the president and his team working with me, talking to me, inviting me on trips, showed their commitment to press freedom more clearly than anything else, but that's just my personal experience. i have heard from many journalists, as well as politicians in ukraine, a lot of frustration about censorship and propaganda. i

wrote about these problems in my book. foreign journalists admit that it is easier for them to work than their ukrainian colleagues, who face self-censorship, because they are also citizens of a country that is fighting the enemy for its future. mykhailo botsyurkiv, canadian a journalist of ukrainian origin who has accreditation in ukraine. he works in a special more subjective. in the genre of columns, where personal opinion is allowed, and this genre, in his opinion, helps to better convey what is happening to an audience that is already a little tired of this topic, i write at least for cnn opinion, they are very supportive of me, they say, no- no, no, come on, what do you think, how do you feel all this, what kind of stress is there, people want to read it before that, that is, my main one, there is that you need to find different ones. to write about the war in ukraine, to be interesting to people, and no, not everything is very

negative either. foreign journalists recognize and admire the work of their ukrainian colleagues, because despite all the difficulties of wartime, they actively engage in anti-corruption investigations, ask uncomfortable questions to the authorities and constantly risk their lives on the front lines. from new york iryna solomka pavlo terikhov voice of america. let's move on. due to the war, many animals in ukraine became homeless, and with this, it became more difficult to control in some regions. the spread of diseases they can carry, in particular, rabies. khrystyna shevchenko will tell how international volunteers help to solve this situation. volunteers of the international non-profit organization world wild vets have been treating, sterilizing and vaccinating ukrainian animals left on the streets for two years,

and they are also visiting hot spots in the southeast of ukraine. hello, we are spaying and neutering cats in ukraine, and now many bombs are flying over us, many missiles. british dr. gemma kempling, the founder of the organization, says the biggest challenge for the team now there is a rapid increase in rabies. there was rabies in ukraine before the war, but obviously, due to the fact that so many people evacuated and left their animals behind, the population of homeless animals increased. and there were much more animals on the streets than before. this essentially creates a network of animals that can come into contact and spread the disease further. according to gemma, abandoned animals infected with rabies can roam for days without showing any signs or symptoms of the disease and thus spread the virus over long distances. without any obstacles. so volunteers

try to vaccinate as many animals as possible. this means that if... bitten by an infected animal, it won't get sick and spread the disease, it stops the virus, which is great, we need to have fewer animals on the streets, fewer animals that can spread this deadly virus, so we have to sterilization due to the lack of hands, the organization calls for veterinarians from all over the world. in april and may of this year, two large international groups of volunteers came from the usa and europe to help the animals of ukraine. among one of the volunteers was an american woman. dr. colleen lembo, we met her in the city of san diego, where she operates on animals at a local hospital. i 've wanted to go since the invasion started. i'm not in the military, i don't have any money to donate, but i do have a set of skills that have turned out to be very valuable in ukraine right now, as surgical

skills help control the domestic animal population. colleen lambeau sterilized. animals in one of the largest shelters in brody, lviv region. the problem is that if we don't control the population, we will see an increase in rabies, which can spread to humans because it is a zoonotic disease. it is deadly to humans and we are concerned that rabies could become an epidemic across europe. in 2023, volunteers of the international mission sterilized and vaccinated against. together almost 2.5 thousand animals. san diego, khrystyna shevchenko, bohdan shevchenko, for the voice of america. and we end the issue with a story about how beer is brewed according to ukrainian recipes in colorado. the owner of a brewery from denver

decided to help ukraine in this way. profit from he donates sales to charity. what prompted him to cook ukrainian pita. and why molotov cocktails are here, svitlana prystinska and volodymyr petruniv will tell. ukrainian beer, it is similar, you know, this kind of beer. mykola vansa, a former resident of lviv, along with other ukrainians visited the long table brewery to drink ukrainian beer and help raise funds for aid to ukraine. i have a lot of family now on the front lines, they need to be helped. brew beer according to a ukrainian recipe, and send the proceeds from its sale to help in ukraine, the owner of the brewery ned smith decided that in february 2022. i myself am a veteran of the war in iraq and i was impressed by how ukrainians mobilized and prepared to defend their home. nate came across news about how

pravda brewery in lviv is helping the community. and... also, that they started the production of molotov cocktails, he liked that the owners of the kitchen are not giving up. i found them on instagram and messaged them that we are a craft brewery in america and would love to help. if they share their recipes, we are ready to cook and sell ukrainian beer and send them profits so that they continue to support their community. nate says that the equipment at his brewery is... obviously, their ingredients are somewhat different, a lot of european hops. the first beer we brewed was belgian golden ale. then we added dark ale from scean to don. today we offer dark beer red eyes. visitors like it very much. it has a bit of chocolate

malt, which balances the hops and gives it a distinct taste. long table brewery is located in the heart of denver and is open to the public popularity among visitors. smith has been producing beer for more than 10 years. you're full from the start. russia's invasion of ukraine, it also cooperates with the non-profit organization ukraine aid fund. together they organize charity meetings and fairs to help ukraine. a very good story, how he found his way, how he can help ukraine. this is very cool because he can show how ukrainian beer is brewed for his american guests. we can treat you to ukrainian. we are an american community and americans help us a lot, this is probably the sixth time we are gathering here, after a while we will prepare some

ukrainian delicacies each time, sometimes diruns, then dumplings, i am very grateful to all our hostesses, they are incredible, for another meeting, ukrainians, americans and everyone came to taste ukrainian beer and food, who wanted to support the ukrainian community. the beer is very tasty, i liked it, and i am glad that visitors who are not from ukraine have the opportunity to support ukraine in this way. americans make ukrainian beer here, i am very grateful to them that they do it. american beer, it is without foam, here is beer, it is tastier, and it is real. nate smith plans to add even more types of ukrainian beer to the menu, as well as to visit the pravda brewery in lviv one day.
