to decide, let's say, the person who is being detained, and accordingly, at this very stage, a lot of work is going on on the part of the person to correctly defend his rights, to inform him that he was really detained, record the time, draw up this protocol, call his lawyer , and that, accordingly , the further delivery of yevtsk was correct and legal, and not the way it actually looks, that a person was detained, immediately brought in, and no one understands in any way. was in no way delivered to the state central committee, but in this context i want to ask you one last question, precisely about those who updated their data on time complied with the law, and now what do they have to wait for, whether they can be detained and taken to the tcc, or wait for a summons in the mail, i will ask you to answer very briefly, such persons will receive summons in the mail, they will be considered served, what was talked about, received, not received, accordingly , we must understand that everyone, regardless of whether...

they have updated the data or not, will get into the tcc and in the future all data must be collected, this is both the military medical commission and the state of health i and the grounds for postponement as such natalya, thank you for this explanation, it was nataliya hnatyk, a lawyer at the aktom bar association. thank you. well, let's return to the topic of exchange, return of prisoners of war. we will discuss the details of the current exchange further with andrii yusov, a representative of the main directorate of intelligence of the ministry of defense. he joins our broadcast. mr. andriy, good evening to you, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, please tell us more about those who returned home, who are these military men? yes, today was the 54th exchange of the first full-scale one invasion, this means that 3,405 ukrainian men and women have returned home, and today 95 of our defenders have returned to ukraine, that is... private and non-commissioned officers and seven

officers, 49 representatives of the armed forces of ukraine, as well as naval forces, the state border service, tro, actually a defender, is one of the representatives of the dftg, and everyone has their own difficult, complicated, painful story, there are people with a difficult condition, one defender is a cancer patient. are sick with tuberculosis, unfortunately, we have returned our defender, who is critically underweight, and there will be a long period of recovery, problems due to a lack of proper medical care, these are the consequences of wounds that did not heal properly, everyone will now receive the necessary help and a difficult period of rehabilitation is underway, you say about this critical low weight, but what do

the prisoners of war say about the treatment with them in captivity, were they subjected to physical violence, is this state of their health connected, perhaps with beatings or with other violence? different places of detention, different conditions of captivity, and this means that they are different history and so on, in each case there is a different state, nevertheless, ukraine usually records all the necessary information about... possible violations of the rights of our defenders, who were in russian captivity, and for the further establishment of justice, that there are vivid images, there are harsh words, there is anger that you want to throw out and when you comment on such things, but we must remember that a significant number of our citizens are, continue to be captive, and to communicate this... topic should also be seen

that we have to take them away, every word may to influence this process, as well as the detention of our defenders on the territory of the russian federation, the facts about the violation of the rights of our prisoners are known, no one will hide and silence them, work on fixation is underway, including the negotiation group that works on exchanges, works, of course, on the issue of the conditions of detention, mr. andrii, how was the list of those to be returned... or were there those whom the russian side refused to return? anyone whom ukraine knows to be alive and in russian captivity, actually the work of returning him has already begun, and despite the fact that the geneva conventions provide for the return from captivity after the end of the active phase of hostilities, we are not waiting for this, and this work is being carried out now, actually according to the data of the ukrainian registers, the register of the coordination headquarters. on issues of the treatment of prisoners

of the national information bureau, more extensive and complete than the information of even the international committee of the red cross, that is , we are not waiting for confirmation of the sound of the icrc in order to start work. over the return, nevertheless, each time it is a difficult process, and yes, the enemy refuses to hand over many of our defenders, no one is going to surrender and everyone must return home, well , in fact, this is one of the key principles, even the slogan of the work of the coordination headquarters is that everyone and everyone must return home, that is precisely about those who are returned, who are not are returning, among the released from captivity 11 defenders of azovstal, but among the returned there is not a single azov about... wrote kateryna prokopenko, the founder of the association of defenders of azovstal and the wife of the commander of azov, denysa prokopenko, why yes, why are they not returning the people of azov, can you explain what the situation is with their return? indeed,

the work is more complicated in individual divisions, but this does not mean that there are no results, and often they are not even publicly announced, russian propaganda is spinning itself. themselves, and this complicates the work of even their structures that deal with exchanges, well , to put it in general terms, today the defenders of mariupol returned, the defenders of azovstal returned, and among them there are also fighters of the national guard of ukraine, this is what i can report and communicate at the moment, and if we talk about the return of the defenders of mariupol, who held azovstal, then the work on them will not stop for a second... in the most difficult periods, even when there are certain pauses and interruptions in exchanges , because we all would like the dynamics to be as high as possible, but things happen differently, and ukraine is fighting for everyone, and the result is already there today and will be . there is another moment,

a scandal arose around one of the returned ukrainian soldiers, prisoners, literally, him were accused of cooperating with russian forces and of alleged participation in the beating of ukrainian prisoners, in particular azov fighters, about this... said former prisoner of war viktor leleka lakhno. what do you know about it, can you tell me, do you know any information? well , of course, i also read social networks, and we see and follow this story. i can say the following: that servicemen of the security and defense forces of ukraine, of all components, are returning home. people who are officially in captivity, it is confirmed, and although today was the case when he returned. one is missing, but now we are talking about a serviceman who was officially captured, who expressed a desire to return to ukraine, is a citizen of ukraine, and everyone who returns has families, relatives, loved ones who are waiting for them, and ukraine returns each

to each, and this is also our true principle. as for any information that needs to be verified, post-isolation support itself, it's not just treatment, it's... not just rest, but it's also work with law enforcement, and if there are any facts that require verification and additional attention, including from the point of view of counterintelligence aspects, such work should be carried out, mr. andriy, i also want to ask you about the terms of the exchange, the president stated that it took place through the mediation of the united arab emirates, like last time, can you tell us how they got involved in this process? yes, this is another exchange today, when we thanked the united arab emirates for mediation and assistance. how did you join, for now i will not comment, because the work is in progress, tools that work and give results, well, let's say, not everything can be fully

covered and named at the moment, we will definitely tell more about it when there is such an opportunity, but we are grateful for any opportunity to involve international mediators in order to return our citizens in difficult conditions, and returning to the previous question, in non-obvious conditions, when some things happen, not always what publicly looks one way or another, is so in reality, we can recall, for example, the story with the so-called people's mayor of horlivka, which is longer time allegedly cooperated with the enemy, in fact , he was engaged in other issues for the defense of the ukrainian state, i am not comparing these two cases now, i am simply saying that... that the information should be carefully checked and , given the sensitivity of the topic, of course, it should be carefully interpreted and approached. mr. andriy, thank you for these details, it was andriy yusov, a representative of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense. thank you. today

marks 10 years since malaysia airlines flight mh-17 was shot down in the sky over donbas. then this event made the world to pay attention to... the war in ukraine and finally notice russia's participation in it. 298 people died, 80 of them were children. radio liberty correspondent olena abramovich will tell more details about those events. and court results for 10 years. selena fredriks opens the door of her house in rotterdam and invites us to the hall. on the most prominent wall is a photo of her 23-year-old son bryce and daughter-in-law daisy, and an appliqué depicting the couple among the burnt-out sunflowers of donetsk region. this was done by our daughter with the help of diamond painting. she said it was for her there was therapy. bryce and daisy didn't have time

to get married, but they lived in this house together for 3 years. on july 17, 2014, they flew on vacation on flight mh17. daisy's mother had died three months before. they wanted to relax, go somewhere on vacation, they chose balls. we helped them buy tickets. desi was still studying, and i said: "wait until the bunny." the first day of vacation was july 17. bad premonitions about this trip appeared in the woman for a moment and immediately dissipated. a few days before that, i saw on the news on tv that ukraine had been shot down in the sky military aircraft i was a little scared, i thought: "oh god, i hope this doesn't happen to the children." and then she rejected it: no, that can't be, they won't fly there. the ukrainian military plane that silena is talking about. was shot down over luhansk region on july 14, 2014. ukraine then

immediately partially closed the sky, raised the no-fly limit to almost 10,000 m. there were no clear regulations under which conditions to completely close the airspace over the conflict zones at that time. passenger planes continued to fly over syria, iraq, and sudan. russia on the night of july 17, it banned civil aviation flights in the east of ukraine at altitudes up to 16,000 m. in... 160 regular international passenger flights flew in the sky over donbas that day, mh-17 flew at an altitude of 10,600, i.e. in compliance with ukrainian standards, however it was much lower than for its planes that were moving over the occupied territories of donbas, established by russia, which delivered the buk anti-aircraft missile system to the combat zone in donetsk, and from it , the mh-17 was targeted. there were 298

people on board the boeing, including 80 children. their bodies later searched for a long time in the fields around hrabovo in donetsk region. the body of one resident of the village fell from the plane onto the house, breaking through the roof. this is through this hole, the passenger of this boeing fell here, this is where she was lying. the bodies of bryce and daisy could not be found for a long time, so daisy's uncle robert went to the crash site himself to search . i had to see more than i wanted. it was a terrible picture. i then doubted whether it was worth doing. robert managed to find a fragment of someone's bone and decaying flesh. by then, three had passed months since the downing of the plane, the search was considered complete, and after this find it resumed. she was still there, i understand that it was difficult for people to collect everything, because

the fighting continued, i walked through the craters, the bombing continued, so i understand that it was very difficult for them to stop for 48 hours and look at everything. this was the last material of this issue, i encourage you to subscribe to radio svoboda's social networks, and also subscribe to our youtube channel. likes in this issue, leave your comments, your opinion is below it, your opinion is important to us, and freedom live will be back on the air tomorrow, see you there, there are discounts are the only discounts on exodoril, 15% in pharmacies psyllium, you and saver. the book of women at war, shared. a project of the espresso tv channel and the spirit and letter publishing house. the book is based on the reports of the presenter

we have been trying to find five-year-old maxim for more than two years vasyachkina. who disappeared under terrible and tragic circumstances in mariupol. the russians shot his parents before the boy's eyes. he survived bombing and shelling, ended up in the occupied territory and is now considered missing. when the full-scale invasion began, maxim lived with his parents in the center of mariupol. this is in this building at 75b myru avenue. shells and even bombs flew into the house. this is what happened to him in the end. and for several days, little maxim and his family hid in the basement of this house, and on march 16, 2022, they decided evacuate in your own car. grandmother maxima told about everything that happened next. my uncle was behind the wheel, my husband, i

and my older grandchildren sat in the back, and my daughter and my younger grandson sat in the back. ms. lyudmila said that the car. they covered all sides with stickers with the inscription children, they were driving alone, that is, not in a special evacuation convoy, and almost immediately the russians opened fire on their car when i raised my head, because i bowed my head to the children, bowed to the elders and asked my daughters, i say, for everyone if possible, bend down and bow your head to the little one, it's probably too late. because when i raised my head, i saw that the husband was not lying, i don’t know how, well, i only saw his back, the son-in-law was lying on him, the daughter moved her head, the baby did not respond, then i heard that the little grandson

started whimpering in daughter in her arms, because of... a strong shock, the woman does not remember how long they stayed in the car after the shooting, but she came to her senses when the ukrainian military was already pulling them out of the car, her husband has a serious wound, too, in the area of ​​the heart, too the neck was shot, the wounds were very severe seriously, i haven't seen that at my daughter's. but where exactly, but the face was also covered in blood, but where exactly it got, i don’t know, he was first unconscious, and then he started to sob,

we don’t have him at all, he’s at least three years old, but he doesn’t talk to us, boy . fortunately, the ukrainian military, not the russians, were the first to run up to the shot car, they took mrs. lyudmila and her two older grandchildren to the nearest shelter, and the wounded maksym, his mother and... father were allegedly taken to one of the mariupol hospitals. then in the chaos of war ms lyudmila was never able to find her grandson. of course, all this time we did not stop searching and did everything possible to find at least some information about maksym vasyachkin, at least some clue that could inspire hope. and in the end , fortunately, such information appeared. our fall specialists found. there were data that in may 2022 humanitarian aid was received in mariupol on the passport of maksym vasichkin's father, and

information was also confirmed that little maksym and his father were indeed hospitalized in illichivska hospitals unfortunately, no more data has been found at this time, but this information actually gives hope that the boy and his father are seeing. but perhaps, due to one reason or another, they cannot get in touch and inform about themselves. so, if you know anything about maksym vasyachkin, please immediately call the hotline of the child tracing service at 116.30, or write to the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram. we have created a resource where 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.

stopcrime ua. you are watching the ukrainian voice of america program chas time. my name is maria olyanovska. congratulations. the convention of the republican party is underway in milwaukee, wisconsin. during these few days, the republicans officially nominated donald trump as a candidate for the presidential race, he announced his chosen one for vice president, jady vance. during these days, influential people spoke at the congress republicans, including donald trump's former rivals in the primaries, who supported his candidacy. thus, one of the most ardent critics of the former president, niki heli, who in the spring spoke about the dangers of trump's dangerous closeness with putin, speaking at the convention, supported donald

trump and said that when he was president, putin did not dare to attack ukraine. we will ask tetyana vorozhko, who works in wisconsin, for more information about what other interesting statements are heard at the republican party convention and whether they talk about ukraine there. tanya, congratulations. the third day of the congress is now underway. what is happening there and what to expect from today's performances? well, today the program will start at six o'clock local time, and the topic of today's speeches is let's make america strong again, well, actually, it was assumed that they would talk about foreign policy, but you can see in the list of speakers only a few people who dealt with the issue of foreign policy or security the previous administration of donald trump and a lot of governors, there are several governors as well. many congressmen and very many ordinary americans, well, i actually had the opportunity to ask michael michael whitley, who is the chairman of the republican convention,

who is actually responsible for everything for the organization of this whole process, and why the list of what they will talk about today, and he told me that the main messages of tonight will be that ordinary americans are primarily concerned about product prices , inflation, and interest rates... bank rates, border issues, and to a lesser extent, they are interested in what is happening in ukraine. well, the main element of tonight there will be, of course, jaydy vance, who has been nominated for vice president, the only, the only candidate, actually, i'm sorry, the only republican vice presidential candidate, he still has to accept that nomination tomorrow, and he's going to be represented by his wife usha, and we will also listen very carefully to his speech. to analyze what he will say about foreign policy, about ukraine, we have already talked about it quite a lot, i would like to literally provide a couple of components, a couple of ideas

from what is external. political the visions he has. jeddy vance, 39, is one of the youngest senators, and he's actually part of that new cohort, republicans who say they're challenging, they're not agreeing with the traditional establishment of this party, including on foreign policy. during his speech at the quitsley institute, he actually blamed, he talked about placing the blame on them for this thinking with the failure of the united states in foreign policy in iraq. in afghanistan, syria, and actually said that it has two main principles: first, that the foreign policy interests of the united states must be pursued, even with harsh methods, and secondly, that the main, it must rely on, the main basis of foreign policy, is the economic interest of the united states, and therefore the main threat is china, not russia, which is economically weak, maria, tanya, we heard from you that americans are primarily interested, but our ukrainian audience is primarily

interested... are foreign policy issues and ukraine in particular discussed, what do you hear about it? well, of course, enough is said about it not much in public speaking, hopefully we'll hear more today, but there's a lot of, you know, things going on here, and some of the plots that keep the press out, we know boris johnson is working here, boris johnson, there's a letter here british, british politicians, there are also ambassadors working here, there is oksana markarova, we hope to talk with her tonight, and there are also several ... indoor events, one of them at the heritage foundation, where they shared their vision for foreign policy, in short, again, the main threat is china, kramaswami spoke there, an entrepreneur who was in the swamp, also participated in the election race, well, actually , i asked him what was the position of heritage, he shared his own opinion about ukraine. let's listen. my position is we have

to look at what's in the... best interests of the united states and stability is in the best interests of the united states. i think that achieving peace in ukraine as quickly as possible is in the best interests of all parties involved. the bitter irony is that if ukraine two years ago agreed to the terms of peace, then they would conclude a peace agreement on better terms for ukraine than the terms on which they will conclude a peace agreement now. and this is already after more than 200 billion dollars of american resources were spent on fueling this conflict and increasing the risk of formation. of the alliance between russia and china, if we do not learn from the lessons of the past, we are doomed to repeat them, in fact, there remains another point of view of traditional republicans, which is primarily presented in the congress, well, that is what we are talking about said asa hutchenson, former governor of arkansas, let's hear it: i would like to encourage ukraine and all those who fight for sovereignty and freedom, our

democracy and... sometimes it can be messy and confusing, but look, congress under the leadership of speaker johnson, a republican , brought to a vote and supported aid to ukraine and israel, and so i expect that to continue. there is broad support for ukraine in the congress. and while president trump, if elected, has a different perspective on this and wants to end this war, i hope he will continue to listen to the congress and those who want to continue our... ukraine. we all want an end to the violence, but it cannot be on russia's terms. tanya, we also know that the ukrainian diaspora is also working at the congress, representatives of the ukrainian diaspora, what do they respond to such statements? representatives of the ukrainian diaspora, they are outside the congress, we had the opportunity to talk with them, by the way, miloki is a sister city of irpen, they said that the city community, the authorities, and

businessmen are still helping. ukraine the city of herpen directly, and they are very worried, listening to these statements of the convention, i actually asked about their opinion, and what they think about the convention and what they think about the only candidate for vice president in the choice of donald trump in j.d. vance. his track record is not very good, we are very worried that the social benefits provided to ukrainian refugees will end. spoke clearly and openly against immigrants, against refugees, against social programs, and of course, we know his views on ukraine, so all this together causes we are very concerned. well, i think that for local ukrainians, this meal is an opportunity to say their point of view about what they think about ukraine's aid, how important it is. we are worried, yes, because of the situation in ukraine,
