. проежу всё побежала две человек видел видео don't forget you were invited and you're here, we're deserters there well, here we are the fucking heroes of this loss of personnel, equipment and ammunition, this was announced in the ministry of defense of great britain according to estimates of british intelligence, this disrupts the plans of the kremlin in the south of donbas on the eve of may 9, before russia celebrates this date, joe biden will take

part in a virtual meeting of the group of seven, where volodymyr zelensky was also invited, more about what events should be followed in the coming days, we will talk with yulia yarmolenko and bohdan tsyupin, who is joining to us from washington and london, greetings, colleagues, hello ilya, first of all, it looks like the next few days will be full of news about the main statements and events of the following the ticket will probably be most important on monday, may 9 , when the president of the united states, jobiden, plans to sign a lend-lease agreement for ukraine, which was previously approved by both houses of the american congress, also on may 8, the day before, and there will be a meeting, as you said, a virtual meeting of the group of seven, which will be chaired by olaf scholl from the chancellor of germany and in particular, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyi was invited to this meeting, again, this is a meeting, the virtual topic of this meeting, as jam psaki, the white house spokeswoman, said. she said that the goal

of this meeting is to coordinate efforts for further assistance to ukraine, which is fighting against the russian attack of russian aggression, and also in order to coordinate further actions, further sanctions, so that russia bears responsibility for its actions for the war that it unleashed in ukraine . so, psaki specifically asked about about which sanctions can be thousands. can she do some kind of preview? she said she would not comment on it, but it will be about these things that the united states of allies has already done, in particular individual sanctions sanctions against certain sectors. you are also in order to make sure that people who have been subject to these sanctions can not evade the effects of these sanctions. also in jam psaki, today we were asked about what message president biden wants to convey at this virtual meeting of the group of seven, to which she said that it would be the message of unity, unity against russian aggression, and

it is extremely important, she said, that this message should be heard on these days, may 8-9. let's listen to her audio commentary. i think no one should forget the importance of the date when this meeting the group of seven will take place the day before victory day, which is celebrated in russia and which president putin wanted to celebrate as the victor over ukraine, of course this did not happen, he expected to parade through the streets of kyiv, but this of course will not happen, but definitely this meeting on sunday is an opportunity not only to show how united the west is in opposing oppression and the invasion of president putin, but also to show that unity requires work, blood, sweat, and sometimes tears, and the president is ready to continue working to make sure that this unity the date of may 9 is indeed very symbolic for russia, and we hear a lot of statements from the kremlin about this, but the usa has its own

answer to russia's rhetoric. explain in more detail what they are saying. in the administration, you know ostap from those events planned for may 8 and 9. yes it seems that for the administration this is also a symbolic date and the administration also respects the symbolism of these dates and above the price - this is the spokesman of the state department, he actually said that these dates are may 8-9, and in her they do not belong to any one country because, again, it was the end of the second world war, to which many countries, in particular, the united states, and also, if we talk about what they expect from these dates, the administration of russia can expect from these dates, they say that they do not want to speculate on what russia is preparing or not preparing what statements, however, the united states, as he said again, net-price, will adhere to its two principles these days, to get ukraine and , uh, to do so that russia pays the price for its unjustified aggression, so they say in the white house and in

the state department also from the pentagon from the spokesman john kirby we heard that russia really sees signs that russia is trying to get at least some kind of victory before the ninth of may, but in reality, as john kirby says, the ukrainians continue to put up strong resistance and, again, in the nado price was asked if he could comment on how the united states will react if russia wants to hold a parade, so to speak, in mariupol, to which he said that if russia takes such actions, if it wants to hold a parade through the streets, where else the bodies of murdered innocent civilians were lying recently, then this will say a lot about the general brutality of this regime that is currently in the kremlin. bogdan 's question for you is that you can expect important news on the eve of may 9 from europe, and i plan to agree on oil sanctions against russia by the end of the week, which at the stage now about this adoption of this new package, yes ostap of these sanctions were

announced this week by the european commission, the governing executive body of the european union, and the idea is that within six months 27 countries of the european union have given up the use of russian crude oil and by the end of the year to give up all petroleum products in general, they believe that this should be a very serious blow to russia, which receives about a billion dollars a day for the sale of oil and gas together, we should also remember gas as an important article of russian exports regarding the question of whether these sanctions will be agreed upon after the announcement and implemented today it was reported throughout the day that negotiations are ongoing in brussels on how to make this a reality and it was reported in particular

that the first meeting of the representatives of ukraine and the eu has ended. unfortunately, it has been fruitless, and maybe the second one continues tonight, meanwhile, despite the obvious difficulties, which are talked about a lot, the representative of the european union, the president of the european commission, ursulah andrelein, said that she is sure that these sanctions will be agreed upon by the end of the week. today is friday. we are waiting. in the meantime, she spoke again today, particularly in germany, and proved once again that these sanctions are oil sanctions against russia, despite the fact that they are difficult and will not be easy for the eu. they are very necessary. that's how she explained it again. the export of oil and oil products such as diesel and fuel oil is one of the main sources of income for the kremlin, and it is this source that we want to dry up in the

coming months so that putin can no longer pay for this war. at the same time, we are trying to protect our economy, that is here we need to carefully balance why . because our economic strength gives us the opportunity on the one hand to help ukraine and on the other to put pressure on russia. hungary and slovakia, what are they about hungary, slovakia also say that the czech republic is one of the countries that express loud warnings, but the loudest from hungary and it is about the fact that, as the hungarians say, the ban on the use of russian oil will be an atomic bomb for the hungarian economy, mr. orbán said, and their arguments on the one hand , they sound justified because slovakia, hungary are countries that do not have access to the sea to ports and

they are completely dependent on the supply of e-e oil through pipelines from russia and, for example, hungary over 60% of the oil is received from russia, and slovakia about 90%, and it is very important to remember that this oil comes in particular through the druzhba oil pipeline, one of the branches of which runs through ukraine and slovakia and hungary have long been established oil refineries that specialize in those types of oil that come from russia, specifically siberian oil, so you can imagine how difficult it really is, but despite everything, negotiations are currently underway, for example, about eu countries exchanging oil with each other, so that even countries that are not have access to the sea, they could use the pipelines of other countries of the european

union to get oil from other sources, and it is actually a global issue. for example , an american specialist, daniel free , told the voice of america that the united states plays a serious role in this questions and about the fact that the world situation should also be taken into account. bought surplus russian oil, or if they will do it, then only at reduced prices , what can help with this, when you delve into the details of the sanctions, you will see that every dollar counts, or more dollars we will take from putin, then it is better, it is not easy. you do not want to make a mistake and cause stryboxi on oil, but they want to be so careful as to lose the opportunity to harm his war machine bohdan we also

saw a survey about support for ukraine in the eu among ordinary people, in particular, 66% of respondents expressed for the admission of ukraine to the european union when it is ready. tell me a little more about it. i think that this is a very important survey that shows that the citizens of the eu countries fully support the politicians of the european union, who actually, for example, are working on sanctions against russia, and i think that this is very important for politicians to feel supported by the fact that they are supporting even those steps that will obviously be perhaps even difficult for eu citizens who will have to look for alternative ways of energy supply and it is possible to pay more for fuel for energy carriers, therefore, evidence that europeans support their politicians and support ukraine. obviously, this is very important, julia , and i have a question for you.

the first lady of the united states has now left for europe. zhilbyden. what is the purpose of the visit? actually, ostapa, she will spend a few days in eastern europe, namely in romania and in slovakia today, jolbeiden has already arrived in romania, now she is in bucharest. but earlier today, she met with american military personnel who are based in romania, and we know that the number of american military personnel there has increased due to once again, the russian war that she started against ukraine and also today she met with the american military and diplomats, we know that later this weekend, in particular on sunday, when america and many other countries of the world celebrate mother's day, biden spoke. she plans to meet with ukrainian mothers with ukrainian mothers with ukrainian children who were forced to leave ukraine due to the russian invasion, and therefore this visit is yet another

demonstration of this support that exists in many at the combined levels, not only with weapons, not only economically, but also humanitarianly and simply on a human level. iryna, in the end. in short, the american media wrote about the fact that the usa shared intelligence with ukraine that helped eliminate russian generals and sink the cruiser moscow. in order to warn about the threat and the ukrainians use this data very effectively thank you very much for your explanation bohdan thank you also for including yours from london i will remind bohdan tsyupin and yuliya yarmolenko just joined our broadcast, the un security council on thursday discussed the consequences of russian aggression in ukraine initiated a meeting of the united

states that began their presidency of the security council in may, the purpose of the event was to provide comprehensive information about the political and humanitarian aspects of the war in ukraine, in addition to the members of the security council, he took part in its meeting and un secretary general antonio guterres, who last week visited russia and ukraine during his speech, the secretary general noted that in moscow and in kyiv he repeated what he said in new york, russia's invasion of ukraine is a violation of the charter of the united nations, it must end for the sake of the people of ukraine, russia and the whole world. part of his speech was also devoted to the situation in mariupol and the evacuation of civilians . according to him, the un red cross and ceremonies of ukraine and russia already two operations during which more than 500 people were evacuated from mariupol and the surrounding area, these efforts continue, the people who managed to be evacuated shared their touching stories from the mon staff, some talked about their injuries

needed urgent medical assistance i hope that continued coordination with moscow and kyiv will allow new humanitarian ceasefires for the safe exit of the civilian population from the war zone and the provision of assistance to those who desperately need it we must continue to do everything possible to get people out of this hell meanwhile the message us ambassador linda thomas greenfield said that the us will additionally extract 387 million dollars for humanitarian aid to ukraine , and according to her, there are currently no signs of that that russia's war against ukraine is raging three months ago, russian representatives told this council that they had no intention of invading ukraine, now russia claims that the attacks were not real, russia even claimed that ukraine was attacking itself, that it was shelling its own buildings, attacking its own people, this lie contradicts any -what logic

and common sense is russia spreading pure misinformation, but the truth is well known that russia is the only one to blame for this war, so it is difficult to understand when some members of the council continue to call on all parties to restraint, let's call a spade a spade , members should clearly call on russia to stop its aggression against ukraine, and humanitarian support comes not only from the united states government, tons of medical aid in ukraine were collected in hospitals in southern california, the volunteer charitable foundation of los angeles without ukraine was able to attract hospitals of the city and in other regions of california, before collecting the necessary funds, volunteers sort the latest medical equipment, which will soon reach ukrainian doctors at the humanitarian aid warehouse, and our khrystyna visited shevchenko equipment for traumatology and surgery, resuscitation and intensive care, about 10 tons of medical equipment and drugs are sorted by

volunteers of the ukraine stand in los angeles , among them is an american oncologist, a ukrainian emigrant, mykola onyschenko, he notes every item received. there is a lot here disposable materials for treating wounds for there are also materials for intravenous a-a the purpose of various medical drugs here are many droppers, syringes, needles, cuffs, various tapes for for surgical patients, equipment, six medical centers and organizations, both in the city of los angeles and in various regions of southern california. it is necessary

and we are trying to design the numbered boxes, the volunteers will soon load them onto the plane, they say they did not expect such a large load, we had to quickly look for people who would physically help, responded both ukrainians and americans, belarusians and russians are different people in general, completely different people who simply respond to help us with sorting and everything we need to send it all to ukraine. in ukraine, the medical cargo will be handed over to charitable organizations that will transport it directly to hospitals or the military hospitals that are located near the front, the co-founder of the volunteer charity fund, the stand of woody ukraine, mykhailo lavrys, assures that there will be even more humanitarian aid. the organization is currently negotiating with one of the largest and the most prestigious medical centers of america at the university of california in los angeles regarding the transfer of medical equipment and medicines. and we cooperate with the ukrainian

consulate general here in the united states, through which we receive requests from the ministry of health regarding those things and medicines that are most needed now in ukraine uh, one of the last medical centers - this is a center at the university of california in los angeles, gladly responded to provide us with such things that we are going to send in the near future, a plane with equipment should leave for europe in a week from los angeles khrystyna shevchenko bohdan shevchenko voice of america in supporting and helping ukraine , belarusians who after the suppression of protests in ukraine in 2020 were forced to go abroad are actively involved in supporting and helping ukraine, today there are already several hundred thousand of such people they moved to poland, lithuania, latvia and a number of other eu countries, now they help ukrainian immigrants and belarusians who decided to leave their country already this year, continue yurii mamon in 2020, during a protest in minsk, oksana burkina was arrested by the belarusian security forces

. later, they opened a criminal case against her on charges of organizing mass riots. oksana then managed to escape to ukraine with her young son, from there she moved to poland. a woman knows well what it means to be she was a refugee, so when the war in ukraine started, she started helping ukrainians. with temporary housing in poland , dozens more volunteers joined her with money and food. in general, it is very difficult to meet people emotionally and not lose control over yourself, because the only people we meet are women with children and elderly people, many student volunteers are refugees from belarus who were persecuted after the protests of 2020, now they are helping ukrainians who are waiting for a war to start with russia, this is the volunteer movement of belarusians abroad, in general, the volunteer movement of belarusians abroad is focused on a number of areas, the collection of funds for humanitarian aid, medicines and

personal equipment for those belarusians who left to serve as volunteers in the armed forces of ukraine as well as for the ukrainian army, the ukrainian army, and the belarusian youth center in warsaw is a cultural and educational space in which more than two dozen initiatives have already been successfully implemented. oleksandr lapko, the head of the center, says that his team is trying to help all refugees from ukraine, but attention allocates to belarusians, all belarusians and ukrainians apply, refugees apply, belarusians and ukrainians also apply, people with other citizenships, for example, syrians and turks, however, our main attention focused on providing assistance to belarusians who were forced to leave ukraine, because many of them are already refugees twice. they first fled from the lukashenko regime to ukraine, and now they are forced to flee from ukraine to poland, from ukraine to poland, the belarusian

solidarity center in warsaw is another place where refugees from ukraine can come for help, we specially for refugees from ukraine, we specially for refugees from ukraine rented a hostel in which we were able to resettle people and at the beginning of the war, we managed to find housing for more than 300 refugees from of ukraine for 300 refugees from ukraine, the center also provides legal services and psychological assistance to those who need it. of the voice of america service among those who publicly joined the international campaign to support ukraine and famous

actors and musicians, in particular from tourist of the american band gogol bordello yevgen hudz , who emigrated to the usa from ukraine in the early 90s about why his band stopped touring in russia 10 years ago and what messages are now particularly important to spread among the western audience he told in an interview with my colleague iryna solomko recently you supported a new company to arm ukraine now, which was initiated by a public organization together, this is not a very peaceful slogan, musicians usually try to refrain from such calls why did you decide to support the campaign but this peaceful call is for the call of the defense is that freedom should be protected better than tyranny, are there any questions about the fact that russia is carrying out tyranny, it has been doing it for hundreds of years, it just finally came to the surface and everyone was able to see people who see and understand the causes and consequences sean penn-sher with the first one,

i saw how they tweeted that people are sending baby diapers to ukraine, it's nice, but the ukrainians don't need it, it's impossible for them to win the war war, it's probably fair to call you the ambassador of ukraine to the united states, fortunately, there are many seeds here ukraine and there is a lot of ukrainian influence on western culture, which we are learning right now, many people do not know, for example, that nudikoin is a ukrainian jew who came from kyiv to the usa in the 30s and created costumes for burlesque or andy warhol, there are many of them in that, i think ukrainians are too modest, they don't tell anyone anything, because i think that people already know, but that's not the case. this war changed you and your work, not so much. we stopped touring in russia 10 years ago. so that i was constantly asked about it and heard in response this is a ukrainian writer and this is the story we

tell, this is part of our history because the band is international, but the story is that colonialism for russia and russians remains a kind of religion and they have not even reached the stage of understanding its backwardness, they are extremely far from the global context. russia is a dying mammoth in the center of europe and the world. colonialism, the message is the same where you colonize your mind it is for everyone or the mind was simply colonized in more or less peaceful times it is at the level of two or three ten now 10 out of 10 and the audience is the same - it is not what we convince people they are very upset with the russians at first the wars changed, because new york is a multicultural city, it is not a matter of nationality, but of ideology, it is about how

many portions of russian schwenic acid they took, how much of this aggressive and militaristic mentality they learned and they continue to carry with them wherever they go but the world is well aware of this, it knows about these petrified russians several decades ago and the russians know it. they joke about everything, but it only worked on their territory, no one outside of russia thinks that it is cool, there are criteria, for example our violinist sergey is russian and you can see his harsh appeals to his fellow citizens on youtube and it explains everything russians from the music world who support putin now here in new york no i don't know since 14 when it all broke out in the east ukraine i did not receive any messages from russians i received messages from people from australia, brazil, japan and asking what is happening even now there are practically no such messages from russians out of several thousand at best three yes, these people are very sorry and write

about their guilt that they will never get rid of of this stigma are artists and writers who deeply feel shame but this is a drop in the ocean but still like a war changes the musical and creative world on a global level i would like to hear from russians, whom they consider icons of russian culture, i can tell you that practically every second person will not be a russian, it is like malevich, a japanese ukrainian, or gogol, or all these musical works . the ukrainian folk song is actually a hybrid, but russia declares that it is a song of russian sailors and it is so tiring. what do you think of the ukrainians? now they will talk more and louder about it, about the fact that russia own cultural heritage. i see that many people on social networks are researching, for example, with

repin, whose grandfather repin wanted to paint huge pictures of cossacks because he was of that kind, the deeper you dive into it, the more you understand how much was simply torn and stolen, or is it chaika, a cossack family of his father and grandfather from there it's just obscene how much has been stolen and social media is not something you can really control and a lot of things go through them but if part of the war against russia this cultural a war that must also be won of course your things should belong to you i already said ukraine was very modest to be modest is such a ukrainian trait and i think it has become so extreme that it needs to be leveled or can this war actually help not only to win back the heritage of ukrainian culture but also help contemporary to become more visible at the global level. she has always been on the big stage of world culture under cover, but thanks to the vitality of what serhiy

zhadan says, for example, she will become part of the global artistic the world because there is always a shortage of voices that can be trusted and those voices are based on experience and ukrainian voices definitely sound from experience especially a big difference when you have your voice in pop culture then respect and influence is much more respect thank you and that's what we will conclude our issue also joined our daily briefings at 6:00 p.m. and 11:35 p.m. on youtube and facebook. thank you for being with us. have a good night and a peaceful weekend. see you soon. good evening. my name is andrii saichuk. this is direct e-e direct direct direct espresso and it was very interesting actually an interview with the soloist gogol bordello soprano works by irina solomko i listened with pleasure and what,

dear friends, viewers, let's go now
