of social policy maryna lazebna reported in the database on internally displaced persons, now a total of almost 3.5 million people, lviv dnipropetrovsk, poltava, vinnytsia and kyiv regions have accepted the most migrants to ukrainians from with love, along with tons of humanitarian aid, a huge amount of support and love from the children of the world comes to ukraine. sometimes it is expressed by insecure children in handwriting, sometimes just with colored pencils, such drawings in packages turned out to be so many that one of the odessa galleries organized an exhibition of such messages. boris came to odessa a few years ago, fell in love with the city and stayed to work as a guide at the beginning of the war . poland, and now several times a week they go to europe for humanitarian aid,

this song. there, very seriously, help me, sometimes she came, there are medicines, yes, real clothes sacks, karemata, sometimes bulletproof vests, there is such a thing as learned through hungary to prove them, we understand everything as when a hero at this time, all these drawings that came with help boris posted every time on social networks, later his subscribers came up with the idea of ​​organizing an exhibition of these works, they admit that they were very touched by the children's sincerity, many of many of these children probably heard about ukraine for the first time. i think so. well, i think that their teachers told them about the war and about our country. many of these drawings, you see, are signed with ukrainian letters e with wishes peace, good health, keep, er, be safe. it is written there, and it is so deeply felt, dear friend . thank you for your courage and courage, you and i are suffocating with our

hearts . and from georgia and great britain, poland and italy and even from indonesia, the exhibition presents about a hundred drawings of postcards and even knitted hearts. during the exposition , master classes for children of appliqué and drawing will be organized in the gallery in order to psychologically to unload the children during the war, the exhibition will work for free этот лучик show we are with the support of not just humanitarian aid but military equipment and what even children with the language of drawing with us is a place so that it becomes a little easier and brighter for us to go through this difficult period in our country, most of the drawings after after the end of the exhibition, they will go to the front or fall into the hands of odesa children as evidence of support for their

peers abroad, almost half a thousand streets in kyiv will be renamed or rethought, the deputy mayor of kyiv announced volodymyr bondarenko on the espresso broadcast earlier in the capital decided to rename the arch of friendship of peoples and illuminate it with the colors of the ukrainian flag. they will also change the name of the metro station of the same name and other stops which are otherwise associated with russia, belarus or the soviet union, for example , the station of leo tolstoy, minsk beresteyska and heroes of the dnipro . there were all the news and our team is working so that at the 11th you will hear the updated issue, watch the broadcast of our espresso news channel and the euro espresso program for ukrainians of refugees in europe joint broadcasting with the atp channel , radio programs, that is, all the more so in such

a difficult time, a person must know information as if from all sources, that is, of course, he must work with more channels than more people will inform us , which is probably better, for sure no, it was because there is freedom of speech, all citizens have the right to freedom of speech and opinion, this is wrong, why is the express channel, which covers true news, i also think that it should be on the air, just like that, i watched express press quite often and well, i do not agree with this either as they say with such a position. it seems to me that there was quite a bit of truth, similar information, uh, and uh, it's completely objective. president zelenskyi,

return espresso to the air . 00 - april 26 khrystyna yatskiv, before proceeding to the discussion of important topics, we must provide information from occupied transnistria, there is information that two communication towers have been blown up there, and we may also be talking about an attack on some kind of military airfield near tiraz field yesterday , let me remind you, we, uh, witnessed explosions planned in the building of state security in tiraspol, now we are talking about a russian provocation, let me remind you, and we are in touch with myroslava gongadze, the head of the voice of america in eastern europe, mrs. myroslava, congratulations, glory to ukraine we would like to ask you

, perhaps there is already information about what was brought by the secretary of state of the united states, anthony blinkin, to the minister of defense of the united states, mr. austin, to kyiv, american high-ranking officials such arrived in kyiv and as we know, next week the united states embassy in ukraine is returning to ukraine, so there is a lot of news and additional, of course, financial and military aid . with regard to ukraine, with regard to military aid to ukraine , more than 20 countries, not only nato countries, but other countries have been invited, and here it is, on the eve of this

important meeting, the state secretary and also the minister of defense were supposed to discuss all these nuances with by the ukrainian leadership in order to clearly , so to speak, ensure the urgent needs and requests that the ukrainian government has to the international community regarding military aid, do you know how much in the last few days, several decisions have already been made regarding the provision of this aid, what amount of aid all this information is also already available well, it is clear that secretary glinkin is simply this is also a visit of coordination between countries, well, accordingly, the question of the consolidation of the western world in the ukrainian issue because for example, the position of the united states is clear , understandable and transparent, the position of great britain is

clear , acceptable, decent, and so on. in order to consolidate the entire world, the entire western world, around the support of our state. of support and they are trying to keep diplomatic e-e diplomatic courses in this direction of course there are problems with european countries, problems are not only with germany, problems are with austria, problems are with hungary, problems with eu countries, especially those that are very energy dependent on russia. as you know germany, after the introduction of sanctions at the beginning of the war, reduced its energy independence from russia by only 10-15%. countries such as bulgaria, hungary or austria have

reduced very little, you also know that the minister of foreign affairs of austrian affairs last week, he said that he does not support providing ukraine with a path to membership in the eu and says that some new, new, new measures may be needed. are very offended, but in fact, if you trace this dependence on the energy and political position of the countries , then it is clearly understood . defense, and there are countries like the united states, and they are taking the lead today. and the most important thing is actually to maintain this balance and maintain this consensus and what the united states is trying to do, and that is why something is happening

today, for example, today, this meeting of countries is precisely for in order to further support this consolidation of the past well, at the end of march, as you know, president biden was here in nato, met with the countries with the leaders of the g7 countries, i was at these meetings. no, i covered this visit and the president baydin very clearly stated that his main task here was to keep this coalition, so to speak, and to convince his european and not only european partners that this game could last a long time and they should be ready for risks even today you know, there were also several statements by german politicians who said that gas is of course expensive, but freedom is much more expensive, and regarding the prospects of entering there, talk about the prospects of the embargo and if the oil more or less somehow looms in the foreseeable future, a gas barge in the foreseeable

future seems unlikely. but nevertheless, the reduction of dependence on the russian federation is what european countries are striving for, at least now they are declaring it. joseph biden. the american president noted weeks ago that the states will take on leadership in a certain way and will insure where they can, we are most likely talking about liquefied gas, while the europeans are trying to orientate themselves in the new reality or some kind of preparatory work is already underway in the states in order to cover these needs that will appear so clearly soon. the united states has opened its own energy reserves . the united states conducts a lot of negotiations with the countries of the middle east in order, so to speak, to hold

back these prices. will impose a burden on them. this will increase oil prices and russia will only benefit from this , that is, there are a lot of arguments not to introduce it, but as experts say, there is no other way because russia has been from the beginning during the war, it earned extremely large amounts of money from the sale of energy resources, and the idea of ​​the ukrainian ukrainian side is to buy these energy resources, but not before handing them over to russia, but to transfer them to special escrow reserve funds and accounts, that is, to special the accounts that can be returned will be returned only when russia ends the war er. we are also an issue and er. now, so to speak, it is also being discussed myroslava, well, our tv channel and

other opposition tv channels, although we understand that now it is not about the opposition to the government now the whole country is consolidated in order to give age to russian aggression, but in any case there are three tv channels, e-e, the espresso tv channel is direct and the fifth according to the decision of a volunteer official of one or another official, in particular, the one who heads the state concert of the russian federation, so there are three tv channels took and threw it out of the t2 network, we understand that this is a disgrace, our tv viewers understand that this is a disgrace, but the problem is with the levers of influence because part of our political community pretends not to understand what it is about, takes time with an answer, we understand that freedom of speech is a fundamental story , especially in the west and of course i would not like to raise this issue to the level of i do not know the congress or the senate there, but in any case well, if our officials are given what nothing is happening, but

in fact an act of sabotage is taking place, so where should we go it is still possible to appeal and would it be possible to receive appropriate help from the international journalistic community, in particular from the american journalistic association? well, you know the question now in the conditions of the war on freedom of speech . in ukraine, in particular, you are in the information space, and of course there are many international organizations that can express their position, such as the committee for the protection of journalists. i am currently here in great britain there is also a large e international organization here, and in fact it is in ukrainian . in addition, it is clear that journalists have to fight . well, so to speak, work in conditions of war. they also have to protect freedom of speech in the same way, and in fact this is a very, very key issue, because

war e- you know, it will stop and ukraine will win, but the issue of protection and protection of freedom of speech and democracy will remain, and therefore it is very important not to close your eyes to these things and continue to demand your rights, so to speak. to defend their rights, they are clearly surprised when people who worked directly for medvedchuk and his structures are now presenting, so to speak, and hosting the broadcast representing ukraine, well, in the joint so-called marathon, it is very strange and very unpleasant, in fact, ms. myroslava, nuclear blackmail from the russian federation i would said that a new a-a round happened just a few days ago. lavrov yes, in an interview with the russian first channel, and noted that he was quoting when the risks of using nuclear weapons are really very, very significant, i really didn't want to

that these risks were artificially inflated and there are many willing to do so, the danger is serious, it really cannot be underestimated, and the united states can seriously take this kind of somersault of the minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation. bring your nuclear power to reality well, you know as far as i understand the united states uh is considering well and the western community is considering any possibilities any risks that come from russia and in particular uh the risk of a chemical or a-a or a nuclear attack also remains very, very serious and the question remains if russia will still be ready to use even tactical nuclear weapons, what will this reaction be and my understanding er-er is because now this issue is being considered very actively and you know that even in this aid package that

the united states is providing today, the last aid package there for 800 million dollars there was going to be materials or protective protective equipment in the event of a chemical or nuclear attack so that you do you understand that this issue and this risk are not neglected, they are seriously waiting for it and are trying to balance the answer in this context, well, the former commander of the joint contingent on the european continent of filippbridlov just the other day in his interview said that this is a dissimilarity so the tragedy of mariupol happened, which in the end is now unfolding before our eyes. so the tragedy with odesa is possible, and he said that it would be good if the north atlantic alliance introduced its

contingents into ukraine to ensure, for example, the same humanitarian corridors and ensuring the movement of humanitarian goods well, you know, this issue has been discussed a lot there since the beginning of the war, but frankly, at this stage, i do not see nato's readiness for such a step, all that nato is doing today is trying to strengthen ukraine's ability to provide e- er, these are er, so to speak, to protect our sky and provide for our military er, combat military needs, but you already know everything in today's conditions, nothing can be ruled out, we know that in the same way, the secretary general of the united nations is going to russia and ukraine, that is, i am trying everything for today, this is to strengthen the tactics of today, to strengthen the defense capability and ability of ukraine from the field to win back its territories, meet its

territory and strangle economic russia so that it cannot e- to finance its war, and as you know, the foreign exchange fund already announced today that to restore the economy of ukraine, it will take more than 10 years to restore the economy of russia, well, of course, the end of the war in ukraine will be able to do this much faster, and you know that already today there are many groups and discussions about the restoration of ukraine, the reconstruction of ukraine, which will begin immediately after ukraine wins this war . and you have some intuitive feeling that this or that peace process is possible, at the moment we see that the kremlin is refusing it well, but it is possible that the situation may change in a couple of weeks , it is not only about the readiness of the kremlin and you to

make certain concessions and withdraw your troops to compensate for the losses inflicted on us well, but it is also about a wider than the continent and a dialogue, and here we are talking not only about ukraine, but about brussels, london , washington and moscow, it will be decided by president putin, you understand it the same way, president putin's task is to destroy ukraine, that is why talking about the peace process today is very it's difficult for president putin to not consider ukraine to be a real state and that's why the question is how and what should this peace agreement look like, he remains open, it's clear that the only way is this peace the peace agreement is the complete restoration of the territorial integrity of ukraine, if this can be achieved, of course, this option is possible. but again, the will of one

side, which started this war, is the one that will be the key here. but his reputation now, well, it allows you to talk to him like that because after buchi, he received the appropriate nickname. well, you know reputation in general, which is there already at the end of the day, reputation eh well, but as long as he remains in power, he remains in power authorities, and if he has the will and readiness, well, it's clear, wait, you know, here is the question of criminal proceedings, here is the question of the hague court, here is the question of responsibility, that is, in fact, there are very, very many questions and i wouldn't even talk about reputation right now, the question here is real criminal responsibility for these crimes that putin and his soldiers committed in ukraine.

thank you myroslava myroslava gongadze, head of the voice of america in eastern europe to the live broadcast of the espresso tv channel. thank you once again. well , and about the leadership, also because when we talk about the support of our country, such a very systematic system has been developed for years, if not even decades , that is why we cannot ignore his attention and especially not thank the baltic countries, in particular, lithuania forever was very er well, let's say so consistently in her positions of support for our country, probably aware of the risks for herself as well and remembering the heaviness of the soviet boot on her er with us now in connection with her installation of the pavilion with chairman of the committee on international affairs of the seimas of lithuania . congratulations, hello. i'm sorry that i spoke in russian, but i don't speak ukrainian. i 'll try to understand. how would you like

it ? we have several questions that concern uh. we have several questions that concern today 's day. years, if ukraine does not stand up, if we lose this confrontation, why exactly ?
