will help recruit more such people to the party in the very important states of michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania. an incumbent can only win by winning all three of these states, and if president trump wins one of them, he becomes president again. senator vance is simply invaluable in this. i think it's a good choice, i think he's going to go to areas that aren't usually republican-leaning. he will be able to show them the greatness of this country and the opportunities that this choice will bring. in the senate, jaydee vance was opposed aid to ukraine. in his article published in the new york times before the start of the vote on the additional aid package, he argued that more than 60 billion dollars would not help ukraine turn the tide of the war. therefore, he advised ukrainians to go on the defensive and prepare for the start of negotiations with putin. vance was an outspoken opponent of... not only further aid to ukraine, but also

one of the fiercest critics of the ukrainian government, rejected the strategic importance of ukraine for us national security, put under doubted ukraine's ability to win the war and advocated for quick, peaceful negotiations and a deal with putin that would leave russia in control of occupied ukrainian territory. but here the opinions of the delegates and party leaders polled by the voice of america were divided. some say that the us should first... take care of its own interests. trump is america first and foremost. he wants america's interests to come first. he will decide what is good for america and what is good for ukraine. we need to protect our border, and we need to imprison russia and ukraine to the negotiating table, and president trump is just brilliant at doing that. others say that ukrainians have nothing to worry about.

it is the responsibility of people like me who support ukraine to prove that helping ukraine is in america's interest, it is our national interest, our ukrainian partners, our polish partners, our european partners on the border with russia, they are on the front lines of the fight against communism, and i think that when the trump administration takes office, they will ask more of their own european partners, they will want to see more from the germans, the french, they are not going to leave. don't worry i think putin saw trump with blood on his face and raised fist and got scared he is afraid of president trump. i think you will see more of what we saw under ronald reagan under donald trump, that peace is achieved through strength. if you are strong, people like putin cannot do what they do. i don't think you have anything to worry about, president trump has been very supportive. in the biden campaign harry said that the vice president... is ready

to debate her opponent. tetyana voroshko, kostyantyn golubchyk, voice of america, from mylooka, wisconsin. actually, we can learn more about jeddy vance's views on domestic and foreign policy issues tomorrow, he is scheduled to be the keynote speaker. well, we continue to work at the convention of the republican party in milwaukee, collect reactions and report on all major news on all platforms of the voice of america. ostape, of course, we will appreciate. thank you for your work, tatiana voroshko was in touch with us from milwaukee, wisconsin. meanwhile, democratic senator bob menendez was found guilty of bribery and acting as a foreign agent. senator menendez previously chaired the us senate foreign relations committee. we will talk about the importance and consequences of this decision with our... at the congress, kateryna

licenova, who is now joining the broadcast. katya, congratulations. congratulations ostap. katya, for starters, tell us more about the essence of this verdict, why exactly the senator was found guilty, and what he is now facing. as incorrectly noted at the outset, democratic senator bob menendos was found guilty of bribery and acting in some capacity as a foreign agent. menendos, who has pleaded not guilty, was indicted on six counts and will be in court today. found him guilty on all six counts. in particular, in relation to this indictment, the prosecution alleges that bob menendez was involved in a bribery scheme involving two foreigners, two foreign countries, including egypt and qatar, as well as three out-of-state businessmen. senator bob menendez of new jersey. according to prosecutors, bob menentes received bribes from these impersonators.

egypt, qatar, such businessmen from new jersey to advance their interests, using their political, their political position. i should note that among the accusations and evidence of his bribery, the prosecutor's office cited the following things, including the discovery of $500,000 in cash in his building, as well as $100,000 in gold bars, and , as the prosecutor's office already claims, menendes also received a mercedes-benz as a bribe, also from these people. in general, with regard to what threatens bobomos, the verdict in his case should be announced in october, more precisely on october 29. then u.s. district judge cindy stein must announce exactly how many years menendez faces behind bars, which the us media and lawyers say will be tens of years behind bars. katya, what further development should we expect and can

this matter have any political influence? as for legal developments, bob menendez, as i said at the very beginning, denies all charges and plans to appeal. that appeal is expected to be filed. at the same time when he will be sentenced, that is, in october. as for the political future of bob menentes, according to the legislation of the united states of america constitution, this does not prevent him from running for the senate and continuing to be a senator. and bob menendez himself has already announced that he plans to run for the senate again, but as an independent candidate, that is, neither a democrat nor a republican. and i will note that again, under the constitution of the united states of america, it can be a senator, even if he is flirtatious. in fact, if he will already serve his term. the democrats themselves, his fellow party members , call on bob menendez to resign, not to run for office and to stop his political activities. i note that bob menendez, after these accusations were first

announced, left his position as the head of the committee on foreign relations, but continued to work as a senator. katya, for our viewers, also remind us of more details, for example, about senator baba menende from... who is he and what else is he remembered for, in particular as chairman senate foreign affairs committee? as you correctly noted, he held what is considered a high position, that is, he was the head of the senate committee on international relations, he repeatedly commented on the issue of ukraine, in particular, in one of the comments for the voice of america, he stated that he supported strikes on the territory of russia, that ukraine must wage war as he sees fit, he is considered sufficiently experienced. a politician because he was actually in the congress of the united states of america for a long enough time, for 13 years he was a congressman democrat in the house representatives, after which he was elected to the senate in 2006 and had already worked in the senate and already in the senate he received this high position

of the head of the committee on international relations, which, according to the prosecutors, was used by him precisely for this bribery activity, because as the head committee on international relations, he actually had relations with other countries and noted that he has a son who is also in politics and is now a congressman in the house of representatives. katya, thank you for this analysis, we will follow the development of the case, kateryna lisyunova, ours correspondent at the congress, was in touch. we are moving on. more than 4,000 ukrainians applied for... compensation for damages for destroyed property, - says iryna mudra, deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine. in an interview with irina solomko, she reported that this is currently the only active category in the new damage register, which recently became operational in agaz, what prevents partners from confiscating russian assets, and how does ukraine fight against the fact that russia

is evading sanctions? about this and more, later in the conversation. mrs. eryna, april 2 in gas the register of damages set by the russian federation has finally started. accordingly, the federation in the context of aggression today, how many applications have already been submitted and, in general, how active is this process, how much do ukrainians know about the existence of such a mechanism? the main part of this register is an it-product or a digital product, thanks to which or through which all these applications are to be accepted. to create such a product, well, it takes so... large-scale work, and for quite a long time this product was created, and it was accepted the decision to start the register from one category, there are 44 categories in total, in order to test the registers, and today we have a situation where

individuals can apply to the register for one category of destroyed residential property to submit such an application, and they can do it either through the action mobile application or through the action portal. to date , more than 400 applications have been submitted by individuals, but only recently. the registry approved 12 more categories, i.e. starting from july, still physical individuals and legal entities and the state will still be able to submit applications in 12 categories. as i said, a total of 44 categories have been approved, and it is expected that the registry will be able to accept applications for all categories by the end of the year. it is no less such a complicated process, after all. filling this register with funds so that it is possible to pay these compensations,

the key source of income is the confiscation of russian assets, which is also not a simple matter, even such large and influential countries there, they are so very cautious in commenting on this. today there is no political will, but what i want to say is that two years ago there was not even a legal structure on how to do it, we always, when we proposed to... start working on confiscation, we heard in response that it was illegal, for for two years , a colossal work was done, the work of lawyers, which led to the fact that today there are practically no legal arguments why this cannot be done, there is a doctrine of countermeasures in international law, which is perfectly... fits into the decision on confiscation russian

assets, there is no political will, not because it's not illegal or because it will have some negative impact. there are fears of setting a precedent, yes, certain countries have, let's say, such fears that similar measures may be taken against them by... we haven't found the key to a political, let's say, to a political solution, although we are trying, and we will definitely continue this work, the end of june was so generous for ukraine in the context of such landmark decisions, this is the icc, it announced the issuance of warrants for the arrest of shigu and gerasimov, and the european court of human rights also made its decision brought to the crimea, do you have any information about what is next, what is being worked on next? the iss is generally the work of the iss, it is not public, it is not public, and they are not obliged

to announce it, and we think that there may be more such warrants, and there will be more. the office of the prosecutor general works quite fruitfully with the icc to obtain more and more new warrants. of course, we would like not only warrants, but for these war criminals to be on the dock. such a sensitive topic in the context of ukraine's cooperation with... international by a criminal court is after all a ratification of the roman statute, and for example , international experts often criticize there that you want to use this system, but in principle the roman statute itself, well , you can say that the bible, but you do not ratify it there, was your statement that progress is possible in this regard, now we have resumed work on ratification, i personally support, i know that the attorney general also supports ratification, i know that the relevant committee of the parliament also supports ratification, i... let me remind you that we will do it together, i set

myself the goal of achieving ratification by the end of this year, the communication messages that were supposed to justify the expediency of ratifying the rome statute were not entirely correct, and a false impression was created that that as soon as ukraine ratifies the rome statute, it will immediately become grounds for prosecution. our military leadership, the military to responsibility in the international criminal court, but from a legal point of view this is not a correct statement, because ukraine adopted two applications for the recognition of the jurisdiction of the international criminal court, in fact we have already accepted the jurisdiction, and this possibility of bringing our military ... to account, it exists today, nothing new with the ratification of the rome

statute in terms of new risks arises, no a less important mechanism, which the president also spoke about, and a clear desire to still create it was declared, is a tribunal, ukraine wanted it to be an international format, accordingly, partners, including the united states, said that they does he still want a hybrid format, is this discussion still relevant, or have they already moved to a new level, because... at least what i heard is that, after all, what is being actively discussed now is whether this tribunal can deprive putin of immunity? has now moved on from such, let's say, political discussions. to more such legal work, the council of europe and ukraine conclude an agreement on the intention to create an international tribunal for the crime of aggression, of course there must be a statute of the tribunal, which should actually regulate all procedural issues, but the main thing is that this statute has give an answer to several key questions: whether this tribunal is international, whether

the immunity of the troika is overcome, whether proceedings from ukraine are transferred to this tribunal, or the tribunal itself. vede conducts the investigation, while the issue that remains unresolved is the immunity of the trio. there is a position of the g7 countries , which categorically insist that the trio should have immunity from prosecution for the crime of aggression as long as they are in office. this is the president, the minister of foreign affairs and the prime minister. the position of ukraine. that the trio should not have immunity, should a tribunal be able to convict these three, it's quite difficult to explain to our people how there can be a tribunal without convicting those who, well, who really started it all, who, who spawned this war, who gave the instructions, legally

it's not fair, there's no justice, how then do we achieve justice? and we finish the story about how a sports school near washington helps people with disabilities learn boating. ukrainian military man stanislav levchenko, who lost his arm during a combat mission, was also taught to kayak with a prosthesis here in the east of ukraine. yuriy solonets watched with a special water sports class. bill endicott is a legend. coaching broadcast sports. in 1992, thanks to biel , he returned to the program of the olympic games in barcelona . then biel's pupils brought the usa gold and silver awards. in total, biel's athletes won 57 medals in world competitions in different years. today, bill endicott and jomorny will teach

ukrainian stanislav levchenkov how to launch a kayak. joe is the founder of tim. river runner - schools where kayaking is taught to people with disabilities. among amputees, blind students and veterans such as stas. i used to coach the us olympic team, and that's how i met joe marnini. he initiated the team river runner program to put amputees on kayaks. and a guy named mike corcoran, a friend of mine, has a medical center that makes prostheses for the ukrainian military. in order for stas to be able to drive a kayak, a special sports prosthesis was made for him, says bil. but you still need to learn how to manage it properly, - explains joe mornini, head of the team river runner program. the most difficult part is proper adaptation. adapting to a physical disability takes some time to get right. with leg amputations

, you can get on the boat almost immediately, but if you lose an arm, it takes longer. in training stas, beal is responsible for the technical aspect and joe for the medical aspect. thus, stas simultaneously learns to drive both a prosthesis and a sports kayak. tas lost his arm last year during a combat mission in the settlement of nevelske, donetsk region. he served in the military in the 59th movement brigade. well, i'm not a mortar saw, saw like that. came to america for prosthetics. here we have good ukrainian volunteers who work with us. i was

offered kayaks for it. well, i will say that everything worked out for me the first time, i... the united help ukraine organization coordinates the accommodation of veterans in the usa and the search for prosthetics - says project manager regina vasko. our project here aims to receive veterans who are wounded with amputations here and provide them with all kinds of assistance while they go through prosthetics. that is, we plant them, we them we drive them, we translate for them, we organize them, we organize leisure activities. attention, because it is necessary to psychologically relieve them a little. joe marnin, who trains stas, plans to start a kayak school for veterans in kyiv, and invites stas to his next training session in... yuriy solonets, voice of america, washington. download the voice of america mobile application. the application allows you

his life on the 13th. in july, he was shot in pennsylvania, and at this republican convention, where the official nomination of trump for the presidency actually took place, it was announced that the probable vice president of the united states of america would be the senator from the state of ohio, jd vance. well, of course, if trump wins the presidential election, who is j.d. vance? what are his political views and how it can affect the support of ukraine by the united states, we see in a short reference. 39-year-old jd vance is considered one of the rising stars of the us republican party. the future number two in trump's team was born james donald bowman in the small town of middletown. after graduating from high school, he served in the marine
