mulling is enough, i would like more clarity, i would like more understanding of what the partners are investing in this bridge, this from this concept of a bridge to future membership, some time frame for this bridge and a clear understanding of our agenda, with which we would we had to do it as homework, we have to understand that it is quite big for us. that we have, unfortunately, enough flaws to claim, well, for such, at least, for such a dialogue that would be possible, for example, whether it was with sweden or with finland, i am talking about non-war actions and outside, and with the attack and aggression of russia, ms. ivanna, we have very little time left, tell me briefly, for you, this summit in washington has become historic for ukraine? or not? i think

the glass is half full, and this is important, we have a lot to work with, we are grateful to our partners for what they have already done for us, and i hope that their, their efforts will only increase so that we can jointly provide as much stable peace in the region and in the world. thank you for your time, ivanna klympush, people's deputy of ukraine, chairperson committee on integration. of ukraine to the eu was on svobodalai. thank you. thank you. hungarian oppositionist and opposition leader peter madyar traveled to kyiv, where he honored the memory of the soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine who died in the russian-ukrainian war. he also brought humanitarian aid to victims of the russian shelling of okhmada. unlike the hungarian oppositionist, hungarian prime minister viktor orban did not express sympathy for ukraine over the shelling of ohmadyt, nor did he mention that... the shelling of the children's hospital was carried out

russia. prime minister orbán is at the nato summit in washington and continues his, as he characterizes, peace mission to settle the war in ukraine. orbin held talks with turkish leader recep erdogan, who also seeks to mediate between kyiv and moscow. after the nato summit, orbán is scheduled to meet with us presidential candidate donald trump at his estate in florida. meanwhile, the possibility is being discussed in the european union. to punish hungary, which currently holds the eu presidency, for the so-called fake mediation, it is about reducing several months of hungary's presidency in the eu, but there is no decision yet. well, now let's look at the geography of viktor orban's travels this month, and what did he achieve with them? hungary's six-month presidency of the eu council began with orbán's trip to ukraine. on july 2 , he visited kyiv for the first time in 9 years. later it turns out

that this was only the first stop on his journey, he will call the journey itself a peace mission. in addition to talking about bilateral relations at the meeting with the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, orban outlined his vision of peace. at the press conference, he noted that the rules of international diplomacy are slow and complicated, and peace talks can be accelerated, they say, by ceasing fire. i asked mr. president to think about it. is it not possible to go the other way, take a break, cease fire, then resume negotiations, because a cease-fire could ensure an accelerated pace of these negotiations. i am very grateful to the president for his frank opinion on this matter. ukrainian society met such a statement without enthusiasm. statements that ukraine does not minsk-3 is needed, they hear all the time how long the full-scale invasion is going on, and from the ukrainian authorities. and from world leaders.

already on july 3, viktor orban publishes a video clip of his trip to kyiv with the title: trip for peace. and already on july 5, it became clear that he will not stop there, because he plans to talk not only with kyiv. orban's stop number two is moscow. it was the second visit of a european leader to moscow during the full-scale invasion. he himself explained it by his desire to open direct channels communication and start. dialogue is the shortest way to peace. many steps need to be taken to end the war, but we have succeeded in taking the first important step to reestablish dialogue, and i will continue this work. and orban met with active criticism of his visit to moscow, although the russian president emphasized at the meeting that orban is currently representing the eu during negotiations in europe, even when the hungarian prime minister's plane was in the air over moscow, they hurried to explain that this visit was taking place in .. exclusively within the framework of

bilateral relations between hungary and by russia following a new tradition in social networks, orban published a video clip from his trip to moscow and even announced that the next stop would be a peace mission. will be held on july 8. the third stop is beijing. orban called china a key force in creating conditions for peace between russia and ukraine. the prime minister of hungary supports china's peace plan, which includes clauses about a ceasefire and the start of peace talks. but the next stop of orbán's peace mission was washington. there he met with the president of turkey, recep tayyip erdogan, asked him to support his peace mission, and also named. is the only country that successfully acted as a mediator between the warring parties in the russian-ukrainian war. it is not yet known who will be the next hero of orbán's journey called "peaceful mission". now orbán announced on social media at the nato summit that he will once again confirm that hungary

will not participate in the ukraine-nato mission. bloomberg writes that after the summit, orbán will go to the residence of donald trump, maralago. according to information. source it will take place already on thursday, july 11. the meeting should be informal, but it will still increase concerns that the hungarian leader is working as an intermediary between putin and trump, the publication notes. olga armenishina, radio liberty. well, viktor orbán's tour has a real impact on international politics. now we are talking with dmytro tuzhansky, director of the institute of central european strategy. congratulations. dmytro, can you hear me, good evening, good evening, so kyiv, moscow, beijing, now washington with erdogan, what does he want, what does he want to achieve with these meetings hungarian prime minister,

he has a whole menu, his interests, his plans, in general it is a big performance, well directed, and it is a creation. such a large room for maneuver, orbán perfectly understands that he cannot be on a level with these leaders, but he wants to be in the process, to bargain for his, to play the geopolitical game, he likes it, he thinks he can intellectually, i don't know , in terms of experience, for example, he's preparing for donald trump's return to the white house, and he's preparing, for example, in a very utilitarian way. interest, is to maintain your cooperation with china , which is a red rag for americans in general and for donald trump, and how can you maintain this cooperation with china, money, chinese investments in hungary, so as not

to irritate your friend donald trump, it is as if to give some kind of compensation, that is, to be the liaison between xi and trump, let me help you fix something there, you are not going to. to fight, but this is the position, the same between the west, in general, and russia, yes, and orban also wants to be this link, which you will understand, it is not that he is an intermediary, it is not that he is not transmitting signals, that is, according to information that is actually confirmed by various parties, orban did not warn zelensky that he would go to moscow, he did not transmit anything in moscow neither from zelensky, nor from trump, that is, he... go ahead, that when it comes down to it, who would send us a message, let's say, from trump to xi? yeah, we have orban, or whoever would deliver the message from putin to trump, maybe, yeah, we have orban, or who else has to do something, we have orman, that is creating this room for maneuver in this

geopolitical game, and now is the moment because everyone is talking about some kind of attempt to achieve peace. about attempts at peace talks, well, that is, orbán feels this moment very well. it is important for orbán to do this in order to launch, he has actually already done it, and become an active player, an important player in this new group of european populists. that is, please note that a day before the beginning of hungary's presidency of the european union and a few days before the visit to kyiv, actually to moscow and of this long tour, orbán announced a group of patriots for'. for europe in the european parliament, which initially included three parties, and now it is already a full- fledged third group in the european parliament, it is not only the right, but it is trumpists-populists, it is under trump, this group has been formed, le pen, salvini have already joined it ,

yes, here it is, and it is very important for orbán to show that he is not putin's agent, that is why he started from kyiv, but at the same time that he is a person with whom everyone talks. key capitals, yes, here this, this is another important track, and of course, i would n't rule out a tour with this, it's just a desire, an aspiration. troll, annoy such mainstream european leaders, first of all, ursula funderlajen, and obviously, in the coming week, one and a half, viktor orbán will work to make it impossible for her to be re-elected to the position of president of the european commission, that is, this is a personal conflict, this is how it was in orbán with weber, whom he ultimately believes he knocked out of the candidate in the 19th year. or from the presidency of the european commission, then orban said that we elected ursula funderlajen, actually his

faction voted for her, now he will definitely not vote for her, i say, there is a personal conflict, and orban wants to show with this tour, again with this presidency of the european union, that he can be a significantly more effective european leader than just mrs. ursula and there charles michel, that is, this is just this moment, the only dilemma, i don't know what viktor orbán will be. with european funds, that is , tens of billions of euros are blocked for hungary, due to problems with the rule of law, but apparently he has a plan for this also, he will already act here as more of a pirate, he is currently blocking hungary is blocking about 9 billion as part of the peace facility fund for ukraine, this is a european instrument through which the european union purchases arms and ammunition for ukraine, and he obviously wants to exchange it for with his own money, he... he offered this for the last year, before that he offered to unlock money for this package of macro-financial assistance for

ukraine, that is, you know, exchange-exchange in a very primitive form, well , let's see, orban is an adventurer, we can see this one adventure in all its glory, dmitry, how realistic is the possibility of hungary punishing orbán by the european union for, as one publication put it, fake mediation, for these narrow reasons. union established that hungarian prime minister orban's negotiations with vladimir putin during his trip to russia last week contradict eu treaties, we have technical problems with dmytro tuzhanskyi. there will be a meeting of the new parliament, different from

day sentences to do we have a connection with the subway? yes, i will note the same and continue more precisely about the legal service of the eu, which informed to the member states that orbán's actions violated eurosoci treaties. which prohibit any measures are quotes that could jeopardize the achievement of the goals of the union, and apparently this visit of hungarian prime minister orbán to moscow was not agreed with brussels, because of which, as some european media pointed out today, brussels can punish hungary , shortening the term of the presidency of this country in the european union, and also the head of the european council, sharma. in a commentary, the financial times called orbán's trip to moscow, quote, a political mistake,

stressing that in 10 years of work in the european union, no one has ever seen such a strong reaction from 26 other countries to the actions of one, this was a quote, he also added that he met with orbán at the nato summit and is in contact with other eu leaders, to decide how to proceed. i would like to remind you that after the nato summit, viktor orbán will meet in florida with the likely candidate of the republican party for the us presidential election, donald trump, and after this meeting we will naturally analyze and discuss what exactly they are about will talk, or will they talk about the issues of ukraine. well, that's all, please. subscribe to the social networks of radio liberty, we are on almost all social networks,

on the first day of the full-scale war. but this is not surprising, because the girl lived in the village. in the kharkiv region, it is not far from kupyansk and this territory was occupied in the first days of the full-scale invasion. despite the fact that in the fall of 2022, the soldiers of the ukrainian armed forces liberated kharkiv oblast, the girl was never found, so the child is still wanted. i hope that with your help the girl will be found. let's take another look at her photo. polina has light blond hair, blue eyes and a round face. i would like to note that this photo was taken before the war, the girl is now 15 years old, if anyone has seen her or knows where she might be now, please call us immediately on the magnolia children's hotline at the short number 1163. calls from any -which ukrainian mobile operator is free. if suddenly there is no connection or

an opportunity to call, write to the chatbot of the children's search service in telegram. and now , once again, i want to tell the amazing story of seven-year-old sofiyka golynska. girl lived with her mother in the odesa region in the city of balta. and imagine, it disappeared at the end of 2020 . the police say that the child was kidnapped by her grandmother, lyudmila holinska. and it is not known where the woman is hiding her child for more than three years. it was established that in december 2020 , a woman kidnapped her three-year-old granddaughter in the baltsky district of odesa region. golynsk. but until now, their exact location is unknown. lyudmila mykhaylivna golynska was born on april 1, 1968. height about 162-17 50 cm, dense build, limp is healing, hair color can change, light eyes, has visible moles in the area of ​​the nasolabial fold. previously, there was a version that

already during a full-scale war, the child could be taken abroad to one of the countries of the european union, and later the police said that the alleged abductor of the girl, her grandmother, could be in kyiv. of course, if you follow her trail, there is a high probability of being a place of residence. of a child, but sofia's grandmother disguises herself carefully and constantly changes her appearance, however, i really hope that one of you will recognize her and help locate her, and most importantly, in this way, it will be possible to find sofiyka golynska. i appeal to everyone, and especially to kiyan, if anyone has seen this woman or knows where she may be, please call us immediately on the hotline of the child tracing service on the short number 1163. calls from all mobile operators are free, what about seven-year-old sofiyka, now it is very difficult to describe her appearance. imagine, the girl's mother last

saw her little one when she was only 3.5 years old. i don't know about mine, the fate of my child, in what condition she is, what she looks like, then she was 20 meters tall, she had blue eyes. she was dressed for the last time in a pink crucifix, a bluish, slightly blue coat, with two pigtails, it was in the 20th year. of course, in more than three years, sofiyka has grown up and changed, but i don't think that it is so drastic that it is impossible to recognize her, so i really ask you to look closely at her face. the girl has big blue eyes and light blond hair, about the same height. 120 cm, in these photos she is about 3 years old, but this is one of the last pictures where sofia is about 3, of course, the girl's mother also has a video of her

daughter, you are a grown-up girl already, and for that, and for that. let me remind you that sofia is now seven years old, of course, she already speaks normally and expresses her thoughts. if you see a child who looks like her somewhere, or see her grandmother, who is suspected of abducting a child, do not delay and immediately dial the short number of the magnolia children's search service 11630. calls from any mobile operator are free, you can call the hotline at any - what time of day in addition, important information can always be transferred. and for using the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram.

welcome to the broadcast of the program of the ukrainian voice of america chas time, me and the host. kovalenko. us president joe biden met with ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky to discuss continued support for ukraine in its fight against russian aggression. during this meeting, joe biden announced new aid for ukraine. also, according to the us president, work is underway to ensure that ukraine uses f-16 fighter jets already this summer. about details about this aid, as well as the most important results of the nato summit in washington, let's talk with my colleagues yulia yarmonko. which joins us live from the sidelines of the nato summit in washington and ostap yarosh, who is at the pentagon and had the opportunity to speak with pentagon spokesman pat

ryder. yulia, can you first tell the details of the aid the united states announced to ukraine during the meeting between the presidents of both countries. alexey, you know, it looks like the united states and its partners have actually been saving the big announcements just for to... feed them during the nato summit and thus demonstrate our continued support for ukraine, and we heard the announcement already about air defense, we heard the announcement that the f-16 is already on its way to ukraine, we heard the announcement about financial commitments nato for 40 billion next year, and today the united states and the president of the united states, at a meeting with the ukrainian president, announced a new package of military aid in the amount of 225 million dollars, and in particular, it officially prescribes and... precisely the installation of the patriots, which announced by president biden literally the day before yesterday, and this meeting, which took place literally an hour ago, before this meeting

, both presidents spoke: a little about what is actually expected from the meeting and what to expect from further support, let's listen. ukraine will win, and i want you to know that we will be with you every step of the way. two days ago, i announced the historic transfer of air defense equipment to ukraine. today i am proud to announce a new package of security assistance to ukraine, which will be the eighth package i have signed since adoption of a law on national security. we are working with our allies. nato to ensure f-16s fly in ukraine this summer. thank you for such powerful news about a major new security assistance package, and i am grateful to you, your team, the administration, and of course congress, both parties, both chambers, and all americans for your important and strong support for ukraine and the ukrainian people. together we save the lives of our people. julia, you also followed

the meeting of the ukraine-nato council at the level of heads of state, what did you hear? yes actually oleksii, we were given access to literally the first few minutes of this meeting, which started half an hour ago, and at the beginning of this meeting, jen stoldenberg said that they will talk mostly about how to lay the foundations for the victory of ukraine, and in particular, he said that they will discuss long-term obligations of the member countries of the alliance to help ukraine. volodymyr zelenskyi... before the start of this meeting, he also held a press conference with jensen-stoltenberg, and there he said that he had his own priorities for this meeting, namely to discuss air defense, to discuss the program of f-16 fighter jets, but also to discuss the issue of striking russian territories, strikes deep into russia on airfields from where strikes against ukraine using american weapons are coming, this is also an important topic for him, he said: "we we want to talk about how to provide

the ukrainian military with the strength of the ukrainian military and guarantee a normal, normal life for the ukrainian people one more meeting will be important on this day, it will be devoted to security agreements that have already been concluded with ukraine by more than 20 countries. yulia, at the nato summit many places for members were discussed, ukraine's membership in nato, in the final declaration of the nato summit in washington, it is said that it is irreversible. ukraine's path to the alliance. how does this actually differ from the previous statements we heard from the nato leadership regarding ukraine's membership in the alliance? also, can you say what other important results of the nato summit in washington were for ukraine? so, oleksiy, in fact, this is a very important question, and we put it to both american officials and nato allies. they say that this declaration and the results of this summit differ for ukraine in that the very

formulation about the future. coordination of military aid, as well as training, this is a financial commitment from nato countries, this is the creation of a special representative in ukraine from nato, and if we are talking about this path, this bridge of ukraine to nato, today i had the opportunity to talk with several allies on nato, these are the representatives of iceland and the czech republic, the minister of foreign affairs, and i asked them whether they were satisfied with this result or not? do they consider this a real step for ukraine to get closer to nato and would they like ukraine to receive an invitation this year? let's hear what they told me: would iceland support extending an invitation to ukraine this year? we would support it, the text is strong and i am grateful that we agreed to it. i know that there were negotiations with ukraine, but we clearly voiced our position on politics open doors i know it's a difficult

situation, but... i also know that in the case of an invitation, we have started work. we have been quite open about the fact that we need fewer gray areas and about ukraine's right to choose its own future. they have been very clear about what that future is, and we will support it. i would be happy if we gave an invitation, but nato is 32 countries that have to agree. more important is practical help from ukraine's nato allies, such as air defense, like the czech one. initiative from providing ammunition is more important than words. it would be nice to have a beautiful wording, but without practical help, ukraine would not be able to defend itself. personally, me and the czech republic, we would be happy if the results were higher, but it is still a very good result for ukraine and ukrainians. ostapa, yulia has just noted that nato is creating a whole command in german effort to support ukraine. what have you heard about...
