eh, it can be created by our second, so ivan will look after and i will go. it has been two months since the war, his son mykola has been defending the country the whole time they haven't seen each other, only short conversations soothed the father's heart, but we decided to surprise him, our son agreed on a video call, how are you guys, if everything is fine, you are fine with me someday he should act on you at home to during the conversation, the father looks intently at his son and almost cries. because i want to tell him the

most important thing, i am waiting for you every minute, well , something, home, and then he cried, because even men cry, especially when they are waiting for children from the war, with terrible excitement, relatives are waiting for their protectors finally at home to hug tightly and breathe out alive and this is the main difference between ukrainians and russians lyudmila gavrilyuk oleksandr reshetnikov channel ukraine ukraine 24 marathon single news and friends carefully looked together with you the plot of our colleagues, we thank you for this and we will move on to the processes that are taking place in the united states of america and are directly related to us, but first of all we will announce that an air alert has been declared in the odesa region, but then it is very simple, please everyone in the direct opening of the civil there will be protection for relatives and loved ones, now is such a time, many people are sleeping, and please go there because it will help

save your life and health, now as for the united states, their help directly in in our country, we are talking about lend-lease, the president of the united states, joseph biden, will sign the lend-lease law for ukraine, on may 9, the white house announced this, in particular, the spokeswoman for jumpsaki confirmed that on monday, biden will also participate in a video meeting with jean, which will be joined by a video of yazkom and the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, they will discuss the latest events in russia's war against ukraine and the global impact of putin's war in support of ukraine, and will demonstrate the unity of the collective response to the collective response, saky added for help the usa will now continue, before that we will focus on the cherkasy region, there is also an air alert, so please don't ignore it. go to the shelter of the civil defense. we don't forget that this means your life and health. last week, the us house of representatives approved the corresponding bill that will allow more efficient delivery of weapons, ammunition, and

equipment to our country. this document will also speed up the transfer of important military equipment to ukraine. equipment and other critical supplies due to the reduction of bureaucratic red tape and de facto he allows the donation of equipment a-a with provisions that provide that the recipient countries will pay e-e compensation to the united states later now we will discuss all this together with kostyantyn hryschenko, this is the ex-minister of foreign affairs ukraine, he joins our broadcast. good night, we welcome you, kostyantyn ivanovich, our congratulations. thank you very much for joining our efi. and let 's talk about it on the ninth of may, as ms. psaki, the president will not sign the law on the aland forest. please tell me in what time frame the first deliveries of american weapons will be delivered to our country. and what will this be? it will be at the request of the ukrainian side, for example, will they themselves

will determine what we need and you think that this is fundamentally a very important decision because it unites us on the 9th - it is the victory over nazi germany that was implemented against it the most, even when the united states dear they did not yet take a direct part in the world war, they supported the democracy of those who fought against the evil of the evil, which then threatened the whole of europe and ultimately would threaten the united states as well. this parallel resonates today and is understood by those who were the authors, who proposed and then supported and voted for the green forest, we understand that it is a forest prescribed so that it must be returned, but from

historical experience, we also know that ultimately this tool was introduced to help in a critical period and after when there was already a victory after the necessity of its application was completed, everyone understood that the country cannot pay for these enemies, we will deal with this later, but from historical experience, this is just real practical help and now we need to concentrate on what can be obtained for it, there is no stopping the supply of weapons to ukraine according to the current programs that are used within the framework of zelenka's powers and what will be later within the framework of the law and in addition to the forest and

additional funding that is still needed finally to approve is a permanent assembly line, and in this case, of course, it is not the united states that offers what we need, it is us, the ukrainian armed forces, who understand what is needed on the front lines, what is needed from the point of view of strategic needs, they give requests, this is an absolutely well-established system according to which everything quite clearly and clearly takes place within the framework of the bureaucratic system of the united states, lend-lease helps to simply avoid a lot of pitfalls of the most bureaucratic delays, which usually do not allow very quickly deliver weapons today,

remove these fuses hryshchenko before that if you have one question to address voznesensk there, an air alert has also been announced, i will answer them please yes , mykolaiv region, move to the shelter of the civil defense, wait for the official notification about the cancellation of such an alert p hryshchenko returning to the lend-lease and not only the day before , we already mentioned jim psaki, the spokeswoman of the white house. she also did not express the position of the white house that they hope that not only the states continue to help us with the supply of weapons yes, in principle, in all the help that is necessary, and other partner countries are the same with whom do you think we have today well, we need to focus the work of our external political department the most, so with which countries exactly in order to sway them because to help more or to help faster, i think that for every european country, it is, first of all, all countries that have a weapon system that can be easily

used, there should be priorities. at the same time, we understand that the next one is already us this is the stage when we have to concentrate on the use of interrogative weapon systems, this is germany - this is france. i would like to emphasize that france helps us so much, but what this country can do is much more . that france is the most systematic, most serious, and most professional military force within the european union today, and

they clearly have vast experience in the use of various weapons systems in various local conflicts that allow them to provide we don't just have some systems, but at the same time the experience of using them. i think france should be one of the serious priorities for our foreign policy efforts, and here, in addition to the fact that france always has a desire to find an understanding with russia, there is also, apparently, an understanding that france is now the main player of the european union. they should be our main partners. i hope that this is what everyone who works in the european direction realizes, but it's not only that, of course there are many

other countries that can help that have number and surplus weapons that can help ukraine and we need to work in all directions in all azimuths from the middle east to the asia to the crust where there are opportunities, but mr. hryshchenko, returning to france, say that after the inauguration of macron, the country will become more like so to speak, more flexible and faster in the transfer of the weapons that we need or not will not change anything, this is short, i hope so, because the french president has already used, it seems, all his opportunities to convince putin to do what necessary for putin himself, but so far there are no results, therefore the russian authorities can

only be convinced by military means. thank you, mr. hryshchenko , for becoming part of our united marathon and sharing your comments. konstantin hryshchenko , minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in previous years, was the channel of video communication, friends, we are moving on we will turn to the material of our fellow journalists and we will talk about how he survived the nazi torture in the cold but burned in it during the russian invasion of the prisoners of the buchenvala concentration camps and dora boris romanchenko died in his own home in kharkiv after that the buchenwald and miter baldur memorial fund condemned putin and canceled invitations for russian and belarusian diplomats to commemorative events dedicated to the release of camp prisoners about the fate of boris romanchenko will tell about our mykola iryna antonyuk attention on the screen, one of the last interviews of boris roman serhiy in auschwitz, and he remembers what he had to go through when he was a fifteen-year-old boy from sumy oblast, the fascists dragged him to the concentration camp

. boris escaped three times and ended up in buchenval until later in underground broom baul narobii, which he wore on memorial day, two numbers, people died in the fall, there was a special team, a team that wore trumpets all day long. he never talked about surviving with his relatives, but he told his story as journalists to schoolchildren about torture by the cold and the terrible experiments of the nazis all his life in in a dream, he was running away from the invaders, he was constantly running away, when there were people who did not catch up, in general, it remained for the rest of his life. the occupiers came to him. russian shells hit romanchenko's apartment. he was 96 years old. i no longer have the strength to stand up alone, but i didn’t want to say goodbye to my native walls, so i refused to evacuate. on march 19, boris was gone, his body was burned,

and they were able to take it out in just a few days. despair, but igor's son holds back the pain and gives an interview, because he is sure that the whole world should know about the atrocities of the russians. nothing was killed in the photos, he says that after everything burned there, there was nothing left, not even me, not even i saw человек шчире по чем без головые ето странсной one of the last photos of boris romanchenko near the glory memorial in kharkiv was preserved next to the defenders of ukraine, the complex itself was crushed by the russian grads at least two people from the photo have already died at the hands of the occupiers iryna antonyuk channel

ukraine 24 marathon only news the topic of defense from of the russian invaders what is today on the agenda we will discuss uh now with our next interlocutor i was watching kalin with us on a direct link this is uh a member of the national security committee and defense of the lithuanian parliament, the first viburnum, our greetings to you. good evening. please tell me what has changed in the tactics of the defense strategy of lithuania and the european union as a whole today against the background of the threat that is real, yes, from the side of the russian federation, the rest of the countries of the european union, because with us russia is already at war. of course, these changes are naturally logical for us. i wouldn't say that conceptually, something has changed because, well, lithuanians, as you know. we always said that we should wait only the most bad thing from russia because it is historical and uh the

last decades russia has always proved that firstly she never adheres to any international agreement a-and secondly she all the time eh step that is in stepstep she all the time a-a tries to occupy the territory around it always adheres to the imperial policy , the same as in the second world war, and although, er, they exploited this myth for a very long time, because in the second world war, they supposedly saved the world from the evil of nazism, but er, come on we will not forget the historical circumstances were the same as those of the nazis, i.e. she was from the first of many countries, e.e. hulak was no different from e.e. the system of e.e. nazi germany, that is, a million people suffered and were killed there

далее е также, including every fifth family of lithuania in lithuania that suffered so that, well, mother, it was clear now speaking specifically about defense decisions. we need to restore the balance of power well, i'm talking about it too i always say when we meet with our colleagues there from the bundestag or from the french senate or from the american senate and the congress and the british and so on what was the biggest mistake in the during the cold war, do you remember that there were 90,000 nato soldiers who defended 90 km of the border and another 400,000 americans, now the border is almost 1, er,

1,400 km, ah, well, the armies we optimized and minimized all the time, and so on and so on, especially in these countries which are, after all, uh, in their size and economic influence. they need and there is not much more of the army. so , now, the o.s. is agreed upon, and it is already moving towards the fact that during the first time of the madrid summit, which will be held at the end of june. well, for example, in lithuania, the baltic countries and in the second a-a in the entire flag of ester . how is this in russian? есть

что ех другиец well, that is, there are designated brigades at least three, so that the normal rotation of the military forces, then the second thing, which is very important, of course, we changed our minds about air defense, ukraine gave it very much, but the price was terrible, but it was very slow, that is, it was a very good lesson for everyone that air defense is the holy trinity everyone needs the third one - this is still an understanding for our friends, partners of other countries of the european union, and how fragile and vulnerable lithuania is, because the suvalkov corridor is only 100 km, which very quickly and easily can cut us off that is, all the baltic ones

countries from other countries of the european union because, well , lithuania is especially difficult because , on one side, we have kaliningrad, which is on the stove with nuclear weapons, and on the other side, this is the day of yurya, even belarus. and de facto - this is already the territory of russia, because from the first day when they used belarus as a platform for ukraine, we too, and i personally repeat this all the time in all meetings with our partners that if belarus did not allow itself to be a platform for attacking e- e in the direction of kyiv and chernigov, it would have been possible for me. so belarus is directly responsible for part of the looting that happened in ukraine. well, that’s

how we don’t sit between two parts of russia and, well, the historical hatred of the russian federation . to the lithuanians and mister putin, well, you also know this very well because the lithuanians have already defeated the soviet union, there was such a thing, i couldn’t have had a good, wonderful bylang project, yes. today were, well, at least in advance already done considering what the russian federation is doing now on our territory and we thank you for joining our national marathon, viburnums were watching, this is a member of the national security defense committee of the lithuanian parliament, she was on a direct video link with our studio, friends we we continue our broadcasts for the second time that today, may 8, today is the day of remembrance and reconciliation, the day of remembrance when we remember and honor all those who gave their lives for the liberation of one or another country within of the anti-hitler coalition, for you, there was no nazism and reconciliation, consolidation, the maximum

system, so that all countries unite and in no case in the future, in the future, do not allow this. we continue, we will return in a few minutes . the late ussr, and so now i am in the russian federation, which is trying to impose its customs on its neighbors, military advice, marches of immortal regiments, st. george's ribbons down to underwear, unrestrained front-line festivities, 100 grams of military grandfathers and we can repeat this in the lifetime of several generations , the holiday created by the soviet stagnation turned almost into a pagan cult, the leaders of modern russia do not

tire of emphasizing the sacred significance of victory day for all the peoples of the former ussr, so people get the impression that may 9 really always had a special character, but what to look at in fact, on the first day of victory , the day of the national deity was established as a public holiday in 1945, but it was a weekend only until 1947, even in the first post-war years in in may, there were no festive parades, there were no veterans’ entrances on red square, yesterday’s winners were transferred to the front of the restoration of the country, veterans who had serious injuries were generally violently removed from their eyes for almost 20 years from 1948 to 1965 with almost the only official festive events until on victory day, there were artillery salutes that took place in several large cities. this was the case for 5:10 and 15 years after the

victory. it should not be thought that in the union at that time it was not customary to organize celebrations every year. on november 7, the day of the october revolution and on may 1, the day of workers' solidarity, military parades, a demonstration on red square, the leader on the tribune of the mausoleum, in 1965, victory day again became a holiday, a military parade was held on red square, and only then was the first time the red flag of victory was flown on it, and not in in 1945, as many think, a jubilee medal was also issued, which was awarded to more than 15 million people . leonid brezhnev decided to change the status of victory day. in the 67th year , a memorial was inaugurated in moscow. the tomb of the unknown soldier complex, the first people started the tradition of solemnly laying wreaths at the memorial. so, the laurels

of the majestic holiday, which are familiar to many, victory day acquired only during brezhnev times, as often happened in the ussr, artificially at the behest of the party, in most countries of the world , there is no such official holiday at all, the countries of western europe and the usa celebrate victory over nazism but on the ninth of may 8, the day when the majority of german troops laid down their arms in accordance with the act of surrender of germany western tradition honors commemoration of the dead and emphasizes the value of peace, war, weapons and death are not glorified and romanticized, victory is not flaunted, and other nations are not humiliated, nazism is condemned categorically and without appeal, the main emphasis is on understanding, learning the lessons of history, not allowing new soldiers, such an approach is gradually being introduced by modern ukraine and this sharply contrasts with what

putin's russia is turning victory day into, militarization, victory hysteria, attempts to appropriate the russians' victory over nazism and to devalue the contribution of other nations to it, everything that they russian intellectuals called the apt word victory, remember, let's win. so, from the artificial holiday of russia, which appropriates everything from victory, starting with and ending with toilets , we will now move to the present in sumy oblast . orcs and all the

townspeople rallied and overcome the consequences of these shellings. mayor pavlo klymenko, the head of this city, also works during the day to eliminate the consequences of the bombing. at night, he wears a white coat . because he is a doctor by profession and helps to treat the wounded and those who go to medical institutions about his own city a hero about the city of heroes about all the people of okhtyrka now in our material this is a semi-dark room in the basement of the okhtyr hospital an improvised operating room now it is empty and quiet and in february when the enemy rained down hailstones , but lives were saved here with tornadoes, there were several wards of the children's department, some people who had nowhere to live even the mayor had to pick up a scalpel because there was a catastrophic lack of doctors it was enough for the second day of the war, there were many wounded, many dead. and they brought

in a lot of people with broken limbs and broken limbs all at once. it was all done with one operating room. he who came in and out, surgeons worked in parallel, more than three hundred military wounded, despite his considerable surgical experience, he admits that sometimes he could not hold back tears, especially when they brought in those who had been cut by shrapnel. children, the hospital became a second home for medical personnel around the clock, as soon as they started bombing, they went downstairs to the basement. and also they didn't leave the sick, they ran here and there, the nurses remember from the blood they saw, hall's veins were like this . here it will end, the horrors continued, surgeon ivan babich went on

duty on february 23 and returned home after a month and a half. since i had a moment, the redness is over, you can go home and rest, realizing that most likely we will need our hands here. they stayed and stayed for 43 days all this time ivan was supported by his wife, a nurse, their house was bombed at the beginning of march but to give up, says ivan, he had no moral right, he fought back in the death of every wounded man, he promised in their eyes, we did not see any fear in them, even though they were all gorillas they say the boy says you do your work and we will deal with it now i want it to be calmer but there is enough work they say the doctors have performed the bandages we are having an appointment now a moment for a snack increasingly often deals with old injuries and consequences of the explosives with which the region

was filled with explosives. but the team coped with its work. pavlo kuzmenko is convinced that the test for humanity and professionalism passed perfectly. from the russian invasion, and in particular the mayor of the city, as even before that he had experience working as a doctor, as he was actually performing his duties as a representative of the authorities or helping people actually saving their lives and such cities, we actually have a lot of cities and heroes in which people live, real people, heroes, well, friends, information appears promptly from the armed forces of ukraine on the impression that there is a whole enemy, there is information in the southern direction, 120 targets of the occupiers in total over the past day in particular, 80 soldiers and 10 pieces of equipment were neutralized, and we emphasize that

only in the southern direction, in other directions, we are waiting for the operational construction of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, it will be a little later, but for now that we continue the broadcast in a few minutes, we will return to ukrainians from the military dear our relatives, i am addressing my daughter, mother, father, hello, a big greeting from all of us, care for everyone, i wish you health with support and will be well, a big component of this victory is your love for us , a strong front and a strong rear only victory only forward glory to ukraine we remember we win behind our backs according to the article brave ancestors for life the hero of the past then our
