volodymyr zelenskyy once again asked for permission to kill with american weapons in the depths of russia, biden refused in fact, whether this was a surprise for the ukrainian delegation and what are the future steps to convince the usa to give permission after all. look, the ukrainian delegation and ukraine are conducting negotiations at the appropriate levels on a regular basis, our ministry is working. of defense, the general staffs are working, the team of the president's office is working, the head of the office is working, our foreign ministry is working. yesterday, this issue was raised at the meeting of the delegation with the president biden, we had a relevant conversation, i do not have the right to disclose the detailed content, in response to your question, i will say yes, we will continue to work. uhu, and what goals are ukraine mostly interested in deep inside the territory of russia? i'm sorry, i didn't hear what

goals ukraine is interested in deep into the territory of the russian federation, why is this permission being asked for? well, look, the president answered very clearly yesterday, you and i know very well where that danger comes from every day, every night, not only to those territories that are near the front line, not only eastern region, but also what we, for example, saw with you on monday in kyiv and in other cities. yes, therefore, believe me, very well, both ukraine and our partners know what they are talking about. ugh. i want to clarify the same thing about the f-16. the first planes should appear already in the summer, but we are talking about a couple of dozen. early. in total , more than fifty were promised, and zelensky actually said that he needed 128. how can these numbers be put together, and when can we expect at least approximately this number that the president talked about. see

the president talked about this figure, based on the number of aircraft that are working now against ukraine, the russian aircraft that it uses, this figure, it is twice as large, unfortunately, so in order to have a serious opportunity to both protect our skies and fight against russian aviation, and for these planes to be part of our air defense system, you already know that certain targets can also be shot down, we really need so... the number of planes that the president talked about, we have the appropriate declarations, declarations that from our partners, regarding the number of aircraft, we know these four countries and we know the number that they promise, unfortunately, in some countries the delivery schedule is quite long, well, for example, belgium, which has declared 30 aircraft, and this is in our security agreement with belgium, but she says that these 30 aircraft will be delivered by the end of '28, which is obviously unacceptable to us. very important. another issue is also

the expansion of the number of seats for blacking out our pilots, because someone has to fly these planes, someone has to control these planes. these pilots must conduct combat tactics according to the type of aircraft they will be flying. f-16 is a completely different battle tactic. that is why we are talking about this, and in the corresponding statement about the f-16, which was approved during the summit, it is said that the partners will work on expanding the number of seats for ukrainian pilots and not only, by the way, engineering pilots. also very important and also optimization i.e. reduction of training time also during war we cannot afford to go through this a long period of training, as prescribed, maybe, i don't know, in the textbooks, that is, we can optimize it, so we discussed these complex issues with those leaders who supply us with airplanes, the president had a meeting with the new prime minister of the netherlands, there were relevant meetings with other managers, of course they talked about it during the meeting as well. biden, because the role of

the united states of america in the issue of supplying aircraft is also very important, so we are working to increase both the number and the speed. sir igor, you were part of the ukrainian delegation at the nato summit in washington, and now everyone, a lot of people are discussing these embarrassments, taunts of joe biden that took place, what impression did his physical and mental form make on you? i am very sorry that, unfortunately, they are discussing some mistakes instead of discussing the results of the summit, you know, there was an hour-long meeting of the ukrainian delegation with president biden, and his delegation was present, an absolutely clear constructive meeting, we raised all those issues , which we had to break, as usual there was not enough time, we could have said twice as much, but right after this event , the actual ukraine-nato council began, where president biden was also present the whole time, after that...

after the ukraine-nato council, the event began with the signing or approval of this security the compact of the security compact, the security agreement for ukraine, so here is what we saw, the work schedule. held by president biden, half of the day was actually devoted by him personally to the issue of ukraine, the issue of ukraine's security, the issue of ukrainian victory. mr. igor, in context that donald trump can probably become a candidate and possibly win the presidential election in america, or is kyiv, the kyiv delegation already establishing some contacts with donald trump? the kyiv delegation worked at the summit and fulfilled all those tasks. which were presented to the delegation, thank you very much, ihor zhovkva, deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine, was on svoboda live from washington. thank you. cnn journalists learned about russia's attempt to kill

armin paperger, ceo of the german rhein metal concern. now he is safe because the us and germany managed to foil the plot. according to american intelligence, russia planned a series of assassinations of defense chiefs. industries throughout europe that supply weapons to ukraine. read more about paperger's assassination attempt and the reaction of world leaders in the story. this is armin paperger, executive director of the german concern rain metal, which produces artillery shells, tanks and other weapons for ukraine. according to the american television company cnn, russia tried to kill the head of the corporation, however germany and the usa prevented this. anonymous interlocutors. it is reported that the us intelligence first became aware of this earlier this year, at which time the us alerted the german security service, and they foiled the plot. the british newspaper financial times, in turn, reports that now paperger's security measures are at the highest level,

similar to the protection of german chancellor olaf scholz. by the way, scholz himself refused to comment on the us intelligence report when asked about it during a press conference at the nato summit in... i will not go into the details of such an agenda. at the same time , i am happy to inform you that we know very well that we see ourselves as susceptible to various threats from russian activities, and that we are watching them very closely. but nato secretary general jens stoltenberg, although he did not answer directly, noted that such tactics of intimidation of russia did not work. i won't go into that. specific report, what i can say is that we have seen a model russian campaign organized by the security services to conducting hostilities against nato allies across the alliance, and what we have seen in recent months is that nato allies have not been intimidated, they are actually

stepping up their support by providing more aid to ukraine. according to cnn sources, this attempt was one of a series of plans by russia to eliminate the leadership of the defense agency. throughout europe, which militarily supported ukraine. in turn, moscow commented on the cnn report and called it a fake. it is very difficult for us to comment on various zmi messages that do not contain any serious ones documentation and is based on some anonymous sources. this is presented in the form of certain fakes, so these messages should not be taken seriously. i would like to note that this is not the first time that they try to intimidate the paper worker. so in may in germany under. or the dacha of the head of the rain metal concern. according to cnn, russia's readiness to kill private individuals is a signal to western officials that the kremlin is ready to go far in the shadow war in the west. paperger was an obvious target. his company rhine metal is the largest and

most successful german manufacturer alive important 155 millimeter artillery shells, which became a decisive weapon in the ukrainian war. apart from that renmetal supplies ammunition on june 10 , the first workshop of the german corporation for the repair and production of armored vehicles began work in ukraine. the enterprise was created jointly with ukroboronprom. in addition, the company is opening an armored vehicles plant in ukraine in the coming weeks. and one of cnn's sources, familiar with intelligence, claims that the beginning of such military production in ukraine causes deep concern for moscow. anastasia potapenko, radio liberty. we are discussing the possibility of an attempt, just now pavlo lekiychuk, head of security programs of the center for global studies , strategy 21, is joining svoboda live. greetings, good day, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, we must say that although we are the first to know about this attempt, which was being prepared against the executive director of the rain corporation metal,

cnn journalists reported, this information, however, was in the american intelligence and it informed its german colleagues, is this a serious turn in your opinion? this, this is the usual, these are the usual actions, the usual actions of russia, i let me remind you that before the large-scale invasion , moreover, in 2015, after russia's attack on ukraine, the annexation of crimea, the war in donbas, the russian special services tried to kill the bulgarian businessman emilyan gebrev, who helped ukraine, as a businessman, he including selling us ammunition. a number of acts of sabotage by the russian special services were carried out

at his enterprises, including in the czech republic, then an attempt was made to personally kill a bulgarian citizen, and then piskov said exactly the same that there was nothing he could do in russia to comment, no evidence was provided and only after 5 years the bulgarian special services laid out concretely. information about the customers and the perpetrators of this attempt, which were the personnel officers of the game of the russian federation. let me remind you that rain metal is the largest german manufacturer of artillery shells, caliber 155 mm, which essentially became a key weapon in the ukrainian war, and in the coming weeks the company is opening a plant for the production of armored vehicles in ukraine, do you think that maybe russia could have planned for this date this attempt? maybe on this date, you know, when the russians kill,

try to kill citizens of the state, businessmen, politicians, in the states of the european union, carry out sabotage there, it is not necessarily directed against, specifically against the support of ukraine, it is directed against the european union, nato, in general, if in the north atlantic they do not recognize that russia is waging war with them, this does not mean that russia is not waging war with them. ugh. two current nato diplomats told the financial times that russia's intentions fit into its broader strategy, the intentions of the russian federation to increase the number of hybrid attacks and sabotage in europe. you have already mentioned the czech republic, we remember that in the czech republic ammunition warehouses in virbetice were blown up. how do you think it can be countered? well, first of all, this is the struggle of the special services, the fact

is that russian spies, russian saboteurs operate on foreign territory, and they are not as numerous as the security agencies of the same european states, and as a team they can overcome this russian threat, for at least over the past two years of russia's large-scale invasion against of ukraine in european countries. dozens of russian spies were caught, deported, expelled from europe, in diplomatic uniforms and not only diplomatic uniforms, however, the number of this russian gang, which is connected with mafia and bandit structures in europe, is much more, and e. effectiveness work can depend only on the coordinated actions of national

security agencies, counterintelligence agencies, and special services of european states, including us, i do not separate ukraine from the european family, although formally we are not we enter it. and what do you think, first a full-scale invasion. russia into ukraine, this agent-based, if you can call it that, network of russian special services in europe, in the west, maybe in the united states, it has increased, and if so, in what way, given that probably western countries have strengthened their security measures, including counter-intelligence, could let these people through, well, judging by the staffing of those sub-groups. of the russian federation, who are engaged in espionage, sabotage in

in europe, including fsb departments that carry out similar activities, and which have increased by orders of magnitude, and the number of russian agents in europe, despite the opposition, the tough opposition, and quite tough. which is growing on the part of the european special services, this number of spies is increasing, this is what raises those canned goods that were laid back in... years, because if europe believed that the partnership with russia is a bilateral process, russia was not considered so, the russians, the fsb, the russian army, continued to act as the descendants of the court

sudoplatova, as descendants of the nkvd, use the same methods. ogpu, commentary, etc., which were used by the russian, soviet, intelligence services, russian soviet special services, before the war, in the pre-war period and after the war, nothing has changed in the middle of the russian special services. yes, i just wanted to clarify with you that all these stories with assassinations are very similar to how the ussr behaved during the cold war. don't you see that during putin's presidency it became even more active? of course, well, comparing yeltsin's presidency and putin's presidency, even in terms of the term, it is not correct, it will not be correct, however, it must be understood that putin is leaving this wednesday, and this environment is

his support in the russian system of power, accordingly, he is a support. for russian spies and for russian saboteurs in the world, he is their banner. once back in the 2000s, when russian and ukrainian intelligence agents could, in principle, communicate with each other. unfortunately, we had such a period, i witnessed one conversation when a ukrainian special service officer in a conversation with his russian... colleague spoke about the fact that russian, ukrainian special services operate within the framework of the law, to which his russian colleague explained with a smile that this would not be the case in russia, is not and will not be, because the first, the first priority is to fulfill the task, the special services do not comply with the law, and the law must adapt to their tasks ,

ugh, let's go back to the alleged attempt... the head of the italian company, armin paperger, now has the highest level of protection and security, which he compares with the protection of the german chancellor, but it's obvious that you can't put bodyguards on all the inconvenient people of russia, how can you be here? well, that's how the question of air defense, yes, how much air defense is needed to protect ukraine, the number is not limited, the best protection, air defense is the destruction of enemy, carriers of enemy shells in a cube on airfields, on launchers, when 120 shaheds explode at the same time, this means that they will not fly to kyiv for a month, the same thing, in fact, there is such a basis in the counter-intelligence work of the special services, if

it happens... such a demonstrative exposure of an attempt on a politician, or even more, a diplomat or a businessman, it is already a puncture special services, special services should prevent this while it is still being prepared on the territory of russia. mr. pavlo, the last question, if possible briefly, in your opinion, what other potential targets in europe could russian special services have? of course, the first thing to do is to talk about... those who support ukraine, who help ukraine to refrain from russian aggression, this is one of the main tasks of russia, but it is definitely not possible to limit oneself to this circle, for russia, for the russian special services, any russian puppets, any politicians, any businessmen who

conduct their affairs not according to... from russian narratives are potential targets. thank you very much for your comment, pavlo lekychuk, head of security programs at the strategy 21 center for global studies, was on rfe/rl. radio svoboda, svoboda live will be back on the air on monday. subscribe to our social networks, we are on youtube, instagram and telegram. serhii stetsenko worked in the studio. happiness there are discounts representing the only discounts on magnesium 10% in pharmacies plantain to you and savings. the book women at war is a joint project of the tv channel espresso and publishing houses spirit and letter. the book is based on the reports of the presenter of the espresso tv channel khrystyna parubiy. 20

help in the search for four sisters who disappeared in kupyansk, kharkiv region. they are seven-year-old yana, ten-year-old katya, 12-year-old veronika and 17-year-old lisa dvorichansky. the girls disappeared at the beginning of the full-scale invasion and have not been heard from since. it is not known where and with whom the tapes are now. kupyansk was occupied almost from the first days of the invasion, but after the de-occupation of the city, unfortunately, it was not possible to find the girls. so please take a close look in their faces. if you know any, even the slightest information about them, report it to the tracing service hotline. children magnolia at number 116 30. calls from all mobile operators in ukraine are free. we are also looking for seven-year-old darynka

kozachenko from the kharkiv region. i know that the girl is an orphan and met the war in the border town of vovchansk. this is the chuguyiv district of the region, which was occupied from the first days of the war. in the fall of 2022, this area was liberated, but the information about the missing child. there is still no, perhaps the girl was taken to russia or to temporarily occupied territories. of course, it is not excluded that the girl may be in the territory controlled by ukraine. so i'm asking anyone who has any information about the child to call us on the magnolia children's helpline at the short number 116/3. calls from any ukrainian mobile operator are free, or... write to the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram. another child who disappeared in kharkiv oblast and also in vovchansk is 12-year-old vlad lyubichev.

the connection with him was cut off on june 1, 2023 and since then nothing is known about him. if you know something about the authorities, don't delay and call us on the hotline at 11630, or write to the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram. i emphasize that any, even the smallest details are important for the search, and as usual, i ask you to share the video on social networks. this really helps a lot in the search and it is possible that one of your friends or acquaintances can recognize the child and provide important information. and i also ask you to look at the photos of the missing boys and girls posted on the website of the children's search service. if you recognize any of them, please report it immediately to 11630. this is the magnolia children's helpline.

calls from all mobile operators in ukraine are free. one thing is clear: now the vast majority of children we are trying to find are missing due to circumstances related to the war in one way or another, but at the same time, as before a full-scale invasion , children often go missing because of running away from home. so, the child tracing service has prepared a series of tips to parents from a psychologist about what you should do first of all, and... to prevent a child from leaving home, let's listen: create a safe space for your child, because children, and especially teenagers, live in a state of constant war, hormonal war, war with himself, the war for his place in the peer group, for his future, for his values ​​and beliefs, and in order to have at least a little rest from this, to have at least a little opportunity to reboot, the child must have

a place in the world where he will feel... security, this could be her room if there is no room, it can be a corner in the common room or something else, but it should be a place where she can feel safe from claims, from remarks, from complaints, from everything else, and even when you want to express to the child some claim or complaint, think about it, consider how important it is now, how fundamentally important this complaint is for your relationship, for raising a child, and so on, and maybe, having thought this way, you will give up... this idea, you will once again remain silent and keep your warm, trusting relationship. we have created a resource through which you can report any crime against a child. anywhere, anytime, just go to the site and report, and we will launch all possible mechanisms to punish the criminal. stopcraim ua.

congratulations, the program of the ukrainian voice of america service chas time is on the air, i am oleksiy kovalenko, the host. 24 countries and the european union signed a document on supporting ukraine. it is called the ukrainian compact. this collective agreement is called another element of the so- called bridge of ukraine to. nato and the future membership in the alliance. nato also agreed on a new plan for coordinating military assistance to ukraine. security agreements, additional packages of military aid, but without specifics regarding the lifting of restrictions on the use of long-range weapons on the territory of russia. such summaries of the summit were made by experts right after the nato summit. my colleague ostap yarysh, who covered the summit in washington every day, joins us live to recap the results of the summit. congratulations ostap. congratulations

oleksya. ostap, the closing event of the nato summit was the press conference of us president joe biden with the results of the summit. did president biden speak at this press conference about ukraine and russian threats, and what was the most important thing you heard? dear oleksii, this was the last event of this summit, and joe biden was expected to speak about the results of the alliance summit, about the results of this summit, however, most of the journalists' questions were focused on the topic of the pre-election races in the united states, in particular. many people asked about the health of joe biden, about his physical and mental state, whether he can continue to lead the campaign campaign and if he is re-elected, can he continue to fulfill his duties as president for another four years? most of the questions were about this. of course, this topic, which is now very often in the american media, is perhaps one of the most discussed topics in the united states right now, so it is expected that in one form or another these things were raised

during the summit as well. journalists, in particular, asked the american president.
