here in milwaukee, he is certainly expected by all this nato, all these delegates here who are present in this center at the convention, he said that he was saved by god, said that the lord did not allow the worst to happen and certainly thanked for the prayer, but it is also interesting that he, maria, said in an interview this morning that he was preparing a very fiery, very fierce speech like this for thursday, and when he will officially accept the actual nomination, but he said that he had to rewrite it, because he too wants to appeal and wants... well, really intrigues about there are no candidates from the republicans in the presidential elections, but who will become the vice president, is this name already known, or can there be any hints when it will be known? and maria, we already know for sure that donald trump has decided on his candidate, and this was reported by people who know and know what is happening in his... campaign, but we do not

know the name. three main candidates are now named. first up is vidogayu sen. jaydy vance, also florida sen. marco rubio, though sources say he has already been told that he won't be vice president, we also called the name of north dakota governor doug bergham, who was also running for president from the republican party this year. it is expected that in the next two hours... we will already know who donald trump will name as his vice president, actually, vice presidential candidate. and here, of course, they also really want to see donald trump himself and expect him to appear for the first time after the assassination attempt on him in pennsylvania. thanks yuli, i know you will be working at the republican convention, of course a few more days, so i will wait for updates from you. investigate the assassination attempt on donald trump. representatives of the republican party

in congress. some senators and congressmen called the recent events a failure of the security services. at the same time, both democrats and republicans insist that political violence has no place in the united states. legislators also call for reducing the degree of disputes and stopping the language of hostility. let's talk about it with our congress correspondent kateryna lisonova. hello, katya, how do the most influential people react to events legislators from "both parties. congratulations maria, congratulations to our viewers. in general, the reaction of lawmakers in congress can be characterized as united. thus , republicans and democrats support donald trump, express their condolences to all victims of this attack, declare that there is no violence, and even more so, political violence places in the united states, so i suggest listening to the statements of the leading democrats and republicans from both houses. my thoughts are

with former president trump grateful for the decisive reaction of law enforcement agencies. america is a democracy, any political violence is unacceptable. i am horrified by what happened at the trump rally in pennsylvania, and at the same time relieved that former president trump is safe. political violence has no place in our country. my wife kelly and i are praying for president trump and everyone at the pennsylvania campaign rally. and we thank the law enforcement agencies that responded to the scene. i received information from law enforcement agencies and i continue to follow the development of events. this horrific act of political violence during a peaceful rally has no place in this country and should be unanimously and strongly condemned. tonight, all americans are thankful that president trump is doing well after the heinous attack on a peaceful rally. violence has no place in our politics. we appreciate fast work. secret service and

other law enforcement agencies. despite calls for unity, there are some lawmakers who have rushed to blame opponents. yes, particularly far-right republicans, senator jd vance, who, as yulia just said, can also become vice president, will join donald trump's campaign and run with him in all presidential races. also, congressman matt gates and congresswoman marjary stated in their social networks that it was... democratic rhetoric, it was the rhetoric of the democrats that provoked this assassination attempt against former president donald trump. however, the official investigation so far has no data on the motivation of this 20-year-old boy, it is known that thomas matthew crooks was a registered republican and once donated $15 to democratic organization, so to speak, what exactly was the motivation of this 20-year-old boy, in fact, it is too early. let's talk about... the investigation being initiated

in the house of representatives, who will be responsible for it and when can we expect certain conclusions? the investigation is being conducted by three house committees, the homeland security committee, the oversight committee, and the intelligence committee. all three of these committees are chaired by republicans and have already sent inquiries to their respective security structures of the united states of america, in particular to the secret service of the united states of america, the department of homeland security and the fbi. the committees are asking for documents on how the security of this event was planned, how the united states security agencies actually planned to secure this perimeter, and they are asking for ... all correspondence and all communications between these united states security agencies. these documents are required to be submitted by july 19, that is, by this friday. and already on july 22, that is, already next monday these security forces are expected to give closed briefings to

congressional lawmakers as well as open hearings, be part of open hearings and testify during monday's hearings. in particular , one of the presenters must be a director. secret service kimberly cheatle. the main question to which these lawmakers are looking for an answer, as they say, is an explanation of how exactly a 20-year-old boy was able to bypass all the security measures of the security structures of the united states of america, move to such a close distance to the former president and to carry out an actual assassination attempt on the former president, from which some people were injured and some even died. i suggest you listen. more details on exactly what they plan to investigate in this, in this congressional investigation right now. the house of representatives will conduct a full investigation into these tragic events. the american people deserve to know the truth. we have invited the director of the secret service, kimberly cheatle, and

other responsible officials from the us department of homeland security and the fbi to appear before our hearings as soon as possible. committees you don't need to. be a security expert to see that there were security failures in the city of butler, pennsylvania. thank god former president trump is alive. the chairman of the oversight committee, republican congressman james comer, invited the director of the us secret service , kimberly cheatle, to testify at the hearing on monday, july 22. americans are demanding answers about the assassination attempt on former president trump. the us department of homeland security and the us secret service must respond. as the armed man could get rooftop access with a direct line of sight to former president trump during the rally. and this committee will do everything in its power to get those answers. he noted that the security experts with whom the voice of america spoke, as well as various american media , claim that the question of how exactly this

20-year-old boy managed to do it is quite legitimate, because the main goal of the security structures is to prevent any similar incident from happening and even to him... we didn't get close, but the fact that it had already happened is already a certain failure of the security services, and it is a legitimate question of investigation. thank you, katya, it was kateryna lisonova. the final declaration of the nato summit in washington last week confirmed ukraine's irreversible path to the alliance. this is a very significant political result, reinforced. political decisions that will eventually lead ukraine to nato membership. this is stated in the white house, as well as other countries of the alliance. with ukraine in nato , europe will become stronger, this was stated in an interview with yulia yarmolenko, minister of foreign affairs of iceland, tordi skolbron gilfattir. according to her, when ukraine

will be able to join nato depends, in particular , on whether the allies will do everything so that ukrainians win the war and russia loses. we are talking to you on the sidelines of the nato summit in washington. do you think that the results of this summit, outlined in the final declaration, are sufficient to counter the threats coming from russia. we are definitely moving in the right direction. we have concrete results. we have new solutions, big practical steps. we we see the strengthening of unity within the alliance. what is important, i think that this unity is strengthened, because we understand the development and the threat, we see how concrete results between the allies in the middle of the alliance, but first of all for ukraine, this is both long-term support and practical steps that have real meaning and confirm the fact that the future of ukraine is under the umbrella of nato.

would iceland support an invitation to ukraine to join nato already this year? we would support. the text is strong and i'm thankful that we he was agreed. i know that there were negotiations with ukraine, but we clearly voiced our position on the policy of openness. doors i know that this is a difficult situation, but i also know that if we were invited, we would start work. fortunately, we have been working and in the past 12 months there have been changes, and now we are taking concrete steps towards the ultimate goal, ukraine's membership in nato. we have been quite frank about the fact that we need fewer gray areas and about ukraine's right to choose its own future. they were very clear about what it was future, and we will support it. iceland is one of the founding countries of nato. do you think that the alliance would benefit from

ukraine becoming the next member. ukraine would obviously bring a lot to the alliance. the strength of the ukrainian armed forces is exceptional, although the reason for this, of course, is not good. we are certainly in a situation where it will be difficult to do this, given the internationally recognized borders, and therefore it is important to work in this direction so that the path becomes shorter, not longer. but obviously, with ukraine in the alliance , europe will become stronger. it also means that we will have fewer gray areas. ukraine will add a lot, and i know that ukraine is working hard on preparation on all fronts, particularly in terms of reforms. so my answer is yes. this bridge to nato, which was offered to ukraine. is there an understanding of how many years it will take ukraine to cross this bridge? it depends on many

things and not only from the side of ukraine, but also from the side of the alliance. it is important for us to focus on what we are constantly talking about. we should do enough to help ukraine so that it wins the war and russia loses. it should be our priority, so there are issues that will have to be resolved later. but all this depends on whether we support ukraine at a sufficient level so that they win the war and russia loses. iceland does not have a standing army, but iceland supports ukraine and signed a bilateral security agreement, even before the united states did. why is it important for iceland to support ukraine so that it wins the war, as you said, and russia loses. first, it is the right thing to do. second, iceland... won't stand a chance in putin's world. yes, we are far away. yes, we are an island.

yes, we were among the founders of nato. so. we have a strong bilateral defense agreement with the united states. but we are prosperous, we have built everything we have, and we are a strong society precisely because of the rules-based world order, the multilateral system and international law. we are an expert economy, we are stable and strong precisely because of this. so when that foundation comes under attack, as it is now. our direct and specific interest is that none of the players got away with it, so it is not just a phrase or a cliché when we say that the struggle of ukraine is our struggle, it is, so it is ethical, correct and symbolic to support a friend and ally who is at the center of this struggle and is losing life for the values ​​that we have and that we want to preserve. this means that although it is far from us, it is not really that far. over the past 2.5 years, relations between iceland and ukraine have strengthened tremendously, as has economic and humanitarian support.

not many people lived in iceland before the war ukrainians, and now - thousands. even support in the defense sector. although we do not have weapons to send, we have supported other arms procurement initiatives, the czech foundation, the uk defense initiative and other projects. these are small numbers because there are less than 400,000 of us, but it is the right thing to do and a symbolic gesture. it's because we really believe that... ukraine should win, and it's a bonus that our relationship is much stronger now than it was, and we want to continue on that path. you said iceland didn't has weapons that could be sent to ukraine. are you a little disappointed that some of the biggest countries, the biggest military powers in the world, are not sending more weapons to ukraine to make it successful.

of course, the speed of support should be sufficient, looking back at how we perceived the potential escalation and the helmet situation and what we are doing now, it shows that we need a lot of courage, we need leadership in these times, it should not be convenient and never without risks. the reality is that the decisions that must be made adopted, they are risky, but more. the risk of not doing what is necessary, so i sincerely hope that the amount and speed of aid will increase, of course, the countries have done a lot, and there is unity, and it is a great support, it is expensive, but always. it is better to pay for insurance than to be in the worst possible scenario. and we now return to yulia yarmolenko, who works at the republican convention in wisconsin, because it literally just became known who donald trump has chosen as the vice presidential candidate, with whom he will compete for positions in

the white house, for the position of the head of the white house, it became jaydy vance, a senator from the state of ohio. a 40-year-old former marine, a veteran of the war in iraq, who previously opposed aid to ukraine. yulia, tell me, please, how the supporters of donald trump received this announcement, what is the atmosphere now? yes, maria, indeed, things are developing very rapidly here in milwaukee, and indeed the vice-presidential candidate, jaydee wen, senator from ohio, has already been announced, it was received by donald trump's supporters actively, quite violently, and we also we expect that donald trump himself will address his supporters, at least the delegates are counting on that, what you should know about jd vance, jd vance, as donald trump himself said, after much thought, he decided to choose him as his vice presidential candidate , he mentioned in particular that his book, his memoir, became a famous

hit, in particular also a famous film, he also said that during the company'. campaign, in the few months that remain, jaydy vance will continue to fight for the working class, for the farmers, particularly in states like pennsylvania, michigan, and again, these are states that are so-called swing states, where again voters can vote both democrat and republican, which is important states, and really from that , what we know from his views on ukraine, jdv, in particular , opposed the draft law against additional'. advancing for ukraine. he spoke about the fact that, in his opinion, it is unrealistic that ukraine will return its territories to the borders of 1991. and he said: the sooner americans understand this reality, the better better. we will definitely talk to a number of delegates here today, and to find out what they think about his candidacy, we will definitely tell you in the next programs.

mary yulia, thank you very much for being able to tell us about the latest events from the republican convention in wisconsin. it was yulia yarmolenko, we return to other topics, although kyiv did not receive an official invitation to join nato at the summit in washington, the ukrainian delegation declares that it is satisfied with the results of this event, voice of america journalists maria ulyanovskyi told deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine ihor zhovkva. see further. the american publication the hill writes that in washington. there is a lack of a sense of urgency in providing assistance to ukraine, not even for victory, but simply for survival. is what was given to ukraine during the summit enough, and is it enough to win the war? of course not, if that was enough, we would already be celebrating victory. my president has held more than 15 bilateral meetings with leaders

attending the nato summit, and he has spoken with almost all the leaders on the sidelines of the summit. he called on every leader. what they promised to ukraine, whether it's air defense systems, we need to accelerate the delivery of the five new systems that our partners have promised to ukraine to protect the skies. back in the 16th , my president communicated with the leaders of the countries who promised to supply them so that the first fighter jets would arrive in ukraine already this summer and even more, by the end of this year. we need them immediately to protect the sky, have air superiority and also strengthen air defense. it was also about artillery and ammunition. so yes, we need this. more and faster, and these are the issues that the president and the team discuss on a daily basis, and we are making progress on this. the minister of foreign affairs of sweden said in an interview with voice of america that they are ready to provide these planes, but ukraine refused them. ukraine wanted to get f-16, they were needed on the battlefield a year or two ago. there is

hope that ukraine will receive them this summer. why are you rejecting everyone else? fighter jets, which countries are willing to provide when there is such a need for these technologies on the battlefield? i have never heard that the ukrainians refused gripen fighters, on the contrary, this is a topic that my president constantly raises before the leadership of sweden, and this was the case even before sweden joined nato. for obvious reasons, they were not ready to make any promises at the time as they were finalizing their alliance membership. now the country is in nato, and my president is talking again with the prime minister of sweden, our... ministry of defense with the relevant authorities in sweden, all fighters are as good as the f-16, so we are moving in that direction. that is, you hope get gripance from... sweden? this is a topic we are discussing with the swedish leadership. questions about the peace summit. before the first summit

, ukraine and all partners said that it would take place without russia, but russia would come to the next summit. the russian federation has issued a statement that it is not going to come to the second peace summit, which, as president zelensky announced, will take place this year. how are you going to get russia to participate in the summit and... if russia ignores this peace initiative, what are you going to do? we had a very successful and an important inaugural summit attended by 101 participants, the majority of the international community. we discussed how to bring peace to ukraine through the three most important issues at the moment: energy security, food security and the return of ukrainian children. the summit launched this process and we will continue this work, but it is not excluded on these three topics, because the peace formula has 10 points. we will draw up a road map, a peace plan, which will be consistent with the specific points of

the peace formula: energy security, food safety, environmental safety and others. and then, on behalf of the world community, those countries that have communication channels with russia will convey these positions to russia. it will not only be the voice of ukraine, it will be the voice of the majority in the world. it must be collective pressure. russia... must stop speaking the language of ultimatums and unilateral conditions, it must listen to the international community and the voice of the majority. at the same time, russia is an aggressor not only in ukraine, and unfortunately, we all have to realize that russia will always be aggressive even after our victory. together with other countries, we must ensure that the next time russia acts aggressively, we will be much more prepared. that's why ukraine is working on documents on security guarantees, that's why ukrainians are cooperating with. you can find a full interview with ihor zhovka, as well as other exclusive materials of the voice of america on our website and social networks. download
