grenade launcher, and in addition, after, after such statements, the security service of ukraine also published an audio recording, which seems to confirm the conversations between the russian military, which confirm that russia is behind this terrorist attack. currently, the only active investigation that is still ongoing is the investigation of the ukrainian prosecutor general's office. in july 2023, the sbu notified the former head of the goleniv colony, serhii yavsyukov, of suspicion. the investigation is progressing slowly because... does not allow access to the territory of the deer colony, and russia did not grant access to any of the international organizations that wanted to conduct an investigation there, in particular, there was a special un mission that tried to establish the facts of what happened, but in january 2023 it was dissolved due to the lack of the necessary security guarantees and conditions necessary for the deployment of the mission on place, a un spokesman told reporters at the time that there was a political agreement to create this mission... however, the un

was unable to obtain the guarantees needed to ensure the safety of its staff. at the same time, the spokesman at this press conference ignored the question of who did not provide these guarantees: the ukrainian side or the russian side. and he also expressed hope that in the future there will be suitable conditions and the mission can be resumed. i will remind you that the allen colony is very close to active hostilities, and this in itself contradicts the geneva conventions, which forbid. keeping prisoners of war so close to the zone of active hostilities. there were also independent investigations, and in particular there was an investigation of the ukrainian human rights media initiative. they interviewed witnesses, they established several facts: firstly, that ukrainian prisoners of war only from azov were put in this barrack a few days before the explosion, they were forbidden to leave the barrack for the night on the day of the explosion, which was unusual. they say that the explosion was very accurate, and it was ... targeted, and

after the explosion, the guards did not give aid to the wounded and forbade those azov people who survived the explosion and also said that they arrived soon to give aid to the wounded russian officials, accompanied by russian journalists, scattered the remnants of hymars shells at the scene of the incident and then took the footage that the whole world saw. maria, an internal un analysis shows that russia planned and carried out the attack in the colony. volenivtsi, what kind of report is this and what is it about? natalya, this is a very interesting report, which was not public, but the associated press organization got access to the text of this report, and they say that the united nations report concluded that it was russia is behind the explosion in olenivka. yes, the un representatives collected various evidence, they analyzed the interviews that were in the public domain, they analyzed the images, the videos that were available, they talked to those prisoners of war,

survived and returned, and they came to the conclusion that russia planned and carried out the attack, and this hundred-page analysis was circulated at the highest levels of the un, but was never planned for full publication, and some of the evidence was included piecemeal in various other un reports, for example, one of the conclusions was that the missile flew from east to west, that is, from the side of russia, but the un did not publicly accuse russia of this until the anniversary of the tragedy, but... the un office for human rights condemned russia's actions, but for the fact that russia obstructed an independent investigation of this terrorist attack, they say that the scene was not only not preserved, but was distorted, physical evidence was damaged, the russian federation did not allow un observers into the area, and they also noted that this fits into a wider context of widespread and regular torture of ukrainian prisoners of war by the russian side, and at the same time the ukrainian commissioner for human rights dmytro lubinets.

e recently stated that ukraine demands the renewal of this un mission to establish the facts of what happened in olenivka. we talked with him once, he gave an interview to the voice of america, he said that the situation is simply absurd, that when the mission was still active, he tried to talk to the representatives of this mission, to provide them with the evidence that ukraine had, at the same time he said that the answers he never heard from the representatives of the mission, he also turned to his colleague the commissioner of human rights of russia tetyana moskalkova, regarding to... jointly visit the colony in olenivka, but russia did not respond to this request either. maria, on the occasion of the oleniv tragedy, numerous protests took place in a number of american places. what did the activists demand, with what message did they take to the city streets? well , the protests started not only in american places, they were commemorative actions that took place in ukraine, and in various cities of the world, and in the united states, as well, in particular, in ukraine there was a very large action, where there were representatives the azov regiment, who were in... and they also

called on the ukrainian authorities to make july 29 a day of remembrance for the defenders who died in captivity. ukrainian representatives also responded to this, to this action. international committee of the red cross, they said that they feel the pain of the families of the fallen prisoners of war and will continue their actions to gain access to investigate this terrorist attack. they say they will continue to make every effort, but they do not have the keys to the pow detention facilities, and they hope that the parties will act in good faith and provide the opportunity to visit these places, but the families of the defenders. called on ukrainians all over the world to really go to the rallies, because they say that olenivka is a crime against humanity, it is a violation of every possible right to wage war, and it is very cruel treatment of prisoners of war, and they say that russia hopes to forget the world , and if the world forgets about the volenivtsi tragedy, then russia will not bear any responsibility for it, and

indeed, on sunday in several cities of the united states, in washington, in seattle, in chicago, in new york, there were commemorative actions where people paid their respects. killed in olenivka, in seattle there was a family of a prisoner who was in olenivka and is still in captivity, in new york there was a silent protest, there was an installation of a bed from baraku olenivka, and the defender of azostali and a serviceman who is on rehabilitation, there were almost several hundred participants in chicago, there was a performance, there was a silent walk, there was a car race and military personnel who are passing were also invited prosthetics in the united states, and in washington. in front of the white house there was also a commemoration of the victims in olenivka, activists brought blood-stained pillows to show what exactly happened and then brought these pillows to the residence of the russian ambassador. if we have the opportunity to listen to what the activists told us, then

let's listen. today we have gathered here in washington, uh, i know that many activists around the world are also gathering in big cities, uh... to honor the memory of the heroes who defended mariupol and zafstal two years ago, in a terrorist attack in oleniivka, russia mercilessly killed an estimated 53 ukrainian prisoners of the azov regiment. today we honor their memory and remind the world that russian captivity is an option to preserve life, all our prisoners should be equal, should be at home. thank you maria for your work, we will follow the development of the investigation of this case and will let you know the latest information. maria ulyanovska was in direct contact with us. activists in hollywood also recalled the anniversary of the tragedy in olenivka. about a hundred picketers marched through the central

streets of los angeles, where hundreds of tourists from all over the world were at that time. some of them supported ukrainian activists. khrystyna shevchenko attended the event. this is the heart of hollywood, the avenue of stars, or the avenue of fame, on which the well -known dolby theater is located, where the oscar ceremony is held every year, and ukrainian picketers with posters and yellow-blue flags gathered on this avenue among hundreds of tourists. russia is a terrorist state. russia is a terrorist state. the second the anniversary of the tragedy in olenivka, where 54 ukrainian prisoners who defended mariupol died, gathered about a hundred active residents of los angeles. free will to the ukrainian defenders. defenders have lost their will.

let's remember the olyn tragedy. the ukrainian convoy moves through the streets of hollywood. there are so many tourists here that ukrainians sometimes... it is difficult to squeeze through the yellow and blue flags in a dense crowd, some tourists take pictures of the picketers with interest, others only pay attention to the stars on the alley, and there are those who express support for russia's actions. most people support us, there are those who shout something with the word rasha, but it is their choice, we know ours. there were one or two cases where people shouted go russia, turned around and left. the organization acted as a co-organizer of the action in los angeles. they have been organizing protests in los angeles since the first day of the war. its co-founder mykhailo lavrys says: american society is divided over support for ukraine. we understand that american society is very fragmented,

divided, because there is a lot of propaganda now is spreading, which simply repeats russian narratives and lies, and therefore, unfortunately, people sometimes succumb to these manipulations, that we need to work harder and we all need to. to be very active now, but the majority still support ukraine and its struggle for existence. we love ukraine. i think that... it's fantastic that they're protesting and they 're making people more aware of what russia is doing in the world, what they're doing to ukraine. we don't do anything, we just let them do whatever they want. we can not let them do it. russia is a terrorist state. they demonstrate it every day. the action was held as part of the global action on the occasion of the second anniversary of the killing of ukrainian prisoners in olenivka. in addition to los angeles, protests were held in other cities of the usa, canada, europe and. australia from los angeles khrystyna shevchenko bohdan shevchenko for voice of america.

their participation in the presidential elections. on july 28, we highly appreciate his courage and commitment to democracy in the face of repression and adverse circumstances. we recently saw an announcement by the venezuelan electoral commission. we have serious concerns that have been announced the results do not reflect the will of the venezuelan people. it is vital that every vote is counted fairly and transparently, that officials promptly share information with the opposition and independent observers, and that electoral authorities publish detailed vote counts. international. the community is watching this very closely and will respond accordingly. vice president camila harris' campaign has announced that it has raised $200 million since her nomination as the presumptive democratic presidential nominee last year. week however, the bulk of the donations - 66% - came from those who contributed for the first time

during the 2024 election cycle. meanwhile, at meetings with voters over the weekend , republican presidential candidate donald trump and presumptive democratic presidential candidate kamela harris for hell criticized each other, trying to win the votes of undecided voters in those states that do not have stable political foundations, in the so-called swing states. details in veronika's plot balderas iglesias is told by oleksiy kovalenko. 100 days before the us presidential election, a presidential candidate.

and you may have noticed that donald trump is resorting to wild lies about my record, and some of the things he and his running mate are saying are just amazing. harris says they've already raised $200 million in donations since joe biden dropped out of the race and endorsed the candidacy, and 66 percent of those donations came from first-time voters. governor of new hampshire, republican through the sununu, expects the uproar to... focus on policy rather than resorting to personal attacks. stick to the topics of concern, the issues, people are worried right now because they can't pay their bills, they're worried because they don't feel safe at home or in their communities, that's what's going to make them vote for trump in

november. maryland democratic gov. wes moore believes akmaris' vision for the future will help her win over undecided voters in key states. i think people are talking about that we can finally discuss the choices that voters now face. people are seeing that... it's not just that democracy is at stake, it's also about basic values, the way we think about economic freedoms, all of that is at stake. garis is expected to announce his choice of vice presidential candidate before the democratic national convention, scheduled for august in chicago. political science professor june pickman, who is also a rhode island state legislator, says presidential candidates typically choose candidates in vice presidents who could balance them. campaign this is often done geographically. she's from the west coast, so let's get someone from the midwest, someone who can bring votes that she wouldn't otherwise

get. trump balanced his nomination with someone who was much younger than him. harris has a busy week ahead of her on the schedule for her stop in atlanta, george campaign. according to trump's campaign website, he also has numerous campaign events planned in pennsylvania in the coming days. nevada and arizona. oleksiy kovalenko. with that, we will say goodbye, you watched the program of the ukrainian voice of america chas time. also join our daily briefings from monday to friday at 18:00 kyiv time on youtube and facebook. there you will be able to ask our hosts yuliya yarmolenko and ostap yarysh your questions live. thank you for trusting the voice of america ukrainian service. i am natalia leonova. good bye.
