and other important supplies, reducing bureaucratic red tape as much as possible, the bill was previously approved by the us congress, the signing of the document fell on may 9, which moscow traditionally marked with a military parade less than usual without an air show with a long speech by putin, in which the head of the kremlin did not voice any hints about further actions in ukraine as expected columnists , we will analyze both events and their significance for the further course of the war with my colleagues ostap yaroshy in washington and bohdan tsyupin in london greetings, colleagues, greetings to ostap, many ukrainians hope that the lend-lease for ukraine in 2022 will be as decisive for the victory in this war as the previous lend-lease of 1941, which was of key importance in the decision and ending of the second world war. what do we know about the details of the document that the president is preparing to sign are now the same people, the first document, the first forest in the 1940s, indeed, many call it historically

, they call this agreement the arsenal of democracy at that time, the united states was able to supply the allied forces in europe and then military equipment, equipment that, according to military experts, would help speed up the victory in the second world war over the nazis. now we really expect that jobain will sign this second uh second second law on the langlist for ukraine, it was improved for ukrainian needs for the needs of this war in particular , there is no rule in the law about the provision of weapons for lease or loan for only 5 years, this law also does not remove the restriction that it will be necessary to return the money for this weapon therefore, we know that weapons were used and they can either be written off or, if they are damaged, they can also not be returned. now we know that according to the procedure, after the signing of this bill, 60 days must pass, er, no longer than 60 days. and they give it at the white house itself on the development of a

procedure and mechanism that specifically should be delivered in this draft law according to this draft law for ukraine, so we will expect more details after that, but we also know that lend-less will be one of the programs under which ukraine will be provided with weapons, this will not be the only program, this will be in addition to the already existing mechanisms that exist and by which ukraine is provided with weapons , yes . in the second world war, the parade on red square today, however, was smaller than expected. the speech of the head of the kremlin, putin, was now neither an official declaration of war nor a declaration of some kind of victory, as predicted by a number of experts as reacted to today's situation and in general, putin's statements in europe, uh, it's true, in europe, in western europe, a lot of people, at least those who usually follow russian news,

carefully followed today's events in moscow, hoping that at least some sign of a desire for peace with will appear or will be heard today in putin's speech, but unfortunately this was not heard, that is, what putin was talking about, it was a long time ago, well-worn phrases about the fact that russia was the first to attack, but they say that it is not moscow that is to blame, but someone else other western countries, the decaying west, and so on. and so on, we heard all this. i picked up the alexander newspaper on the way to the london studio, which quotes british prime minister boris johnson on the front page, and i think that there is one important quote that i would like read here he said what the russians are doing what they are celebrating is honoring the heroic role of their country in defeating nazism but

putin's brutal attack on ukraine is a shame for russia this is the front page of today's london newspaper and the british minister of defense ben volis today, who spoke almost at the same time as putin spoke in moscow, generally equated the actions of russia, the actions of the russian leadership to what hitler and the hitlerites did during the second world war. this is how he talked about the invasion of ukraine. putin and the generals from his entourage now they mirror the fascism and tyranny of 77 years ago, they repeat the mistakes of the totalitarian regimes of the last century they also show contempt for people's lives, for the sovereignty of the country and for the rule-based the international system of the system that we created together and for which we fought and won together in the hope of protecting future generations from

ostap's whip of war, and i analyze what i saw, what was said and what was not said by putin today, american officials and analysts really talked about it a lot, in particular, yuri julien smith - this is the representative of the usa at nato, they said that putin did not surprise her with his speech, and that it was, on the contrary, disconnected from reality, also commented on the speech of vladimir putin, lida thomas greenfield - this permanent representative of the united states to the united nations. she said that putin did not actually make any significant statements, whether it was about mobilization, as some assumed, or about the official declaration of war against ukraine, which we also heard reports that he did not make this statement because he did not really have a victory that he could celebrate this was said by linda thomas greenfield , other analysts, military experts say that putin really does not have a victory that he could present to the russian people now, but they also pay attention to other things, in particular, that that valery gerasimov, the chief of the russian general staff, was not present at this parade, and we

know that the media reported that he was initially here, as if he had been wounded in ukraine, but also some military generals draw attention to the fact that there is no need to lose vigilance, there is no need to think that they say nothing happened today is may 9 and nothing will happen further. the war continues, they say, and you need to be very vigilant and focused to watch, in particular, with the development of events in the east of ukraine, how it will develop returned that the russian authorities tend to appropriate victory day, the end of the second world war, the surrender of nazi germany - this is not the achievement of any one country, this was discussed in particular on the eve of may 8 and 9 in the us state department, which is evidenced by such a tendency to celebrate victory with a military parade for 77 years and how in general, it is perceived in europe like this, if you look at western europe and in particular at london, where i am talking to you from, the most noticeable thing is probably that on may 8

, when victory day is officially celebrated here in europe, as this day is officially called, and may 9 is not an occasion for any major events , even more so that tanks were driving through london, that is, this is unheard of here and one can say unheard of in the modern world, in our days and the way putin is in russia. maybe even even before putin, they rejected all wars focused only on this one and in fact made the war not a reason to want peace but to test other wars in order to justify a certain regime in power , analysts also pay attention to this and who in particular about it i was talked to by a historian of ukrainian origin , who currently teaches

darius martin at cambrian university, who said that this cult of the so-called victory day actually began from the time of brezhnev in only one war, when russia actually rejected the memory of the first world war in favor of other wars which were no less bloody and instructive. and all the words focused only on this. all this was done already during the time of brezhnev, who sought the legitimization of the soviet system through commemoration of the victory in the second world war i.e., the system somehow justified it, it justified collectivization

. or from the management of her discourse, which was beneficial for the authorities. world he allowed the anti-hitler coalition, in particular soviet russia, to receive american weapons and equipment, then this aid played a huge role in the victory over nazi germany and the countries of individuals, now the support of the united states and many western countries is directed at the country that opposes the war of aggression of russia, and the cooperation of moscow and washington in the distant past senator dan sullivan told voice of america welcome to the fort weinard military base today soldiers are coming here to learn how to survive and fight in the harsh arctic

conditions but before world war ii this base was a small military post known as leadfield after the allies entered the war against germany in 1941 congress passed the lend-lease act to supply military equipment and weapons to russia and other countries that were fighting against the nazis this base ledfield became the last transfer point between 1941 and 1945. the united states sent almost 8,000 planes, which then flew across the bering strait to the territory of the ussr. in the city of frenbergs, but today such cooperation is a long time in the past, now the aggressor in europe is russia, which carried out the condemned by the majority of the world, a brutal invasion in one two matches to the world i visited the monument together with the senator from alaska, sullivan, who is a member of the senate committee on armed forces, and talked with him about the new law on lend-lease

alexander is about the fact that he is a state churchill said that american military production became the key to victory in the war in europe, we adopted another version of the lend-lease program it is called with the purpose or the ukrainians could get american equipment as soon as possible to defeat the russians, so this is a 180° turn in the matter sensulen lisa because now it is obvious that russia is now a target and not a recipient of aid i hear everything do you think it is possible to cooperate with russia today no not today complete yes no, at the end of april, the administration of the us president also sent a bill to congress that provides for 33 billion in additional aid not to support ukraine over the next few months. in america, on may 9, several actions took place under the slogans never again and stop russian aggression

, the rallies were timed to the signing by germany of the act of unconditional surrender in may 1945, people went to the bowling green park and union square, the participants of the action honored the memory of the victims of the second world war and laid wreaths at the memorial during the speeches, the activists drew parallels between the events that took place 77 years ago and the full-scale war of russia against ukraine during the speeches, the participants called on the world community unite and together resist russian aggression well, you look at these photos you see that speroes there is a lot of the same thing and we see how it happens again here and we give that it happened again i how can it be so i don't even want to imagine what happened during the second world war but when i see the current destruction in ukraine i understand that it is happening now

suppose that during the second world war it was worse but the war in ukraine is what i feel today what i am worried about what hurts me which bridge again, these words, especially after the holocaust, mean that no one should ever suffer from this destruction again, the jewish people lost a third of our nation then, and we could not imagine that such an episode of history would repeat itself, when we will see the genocide again, we will see this horror of gdz again, the day in europe is over, the second the world war for 77 years, we all lived in a certain optimism until more than 74 days ago, the horrors that we see today in ukraine began, the russian authorities continue to use slogans about denazification and struggle with the nazis in ukraine as a pretext for the introduction of war

and the killing of the civilian population, in an interview with my colleague oleksii kovalenko, the chief rabbi of ukraine, revan osman, tells about this. they led kyiv from the same directions as the german occupation troops, they hit the jewish cemetery in hlukhiv with rockets, they de-nazified jewish graves in berkovets in kharkiv bila in babyny yar to the church it is called denazification or for example about mariupol we interviewed a girl from mariupol whose father was a jew he was killed by a russian mortar weapon he was buried sprinkled with earth right in the yard yesterday or today he was also reburied twelveification or when they shoot rockets at russian-speaking kharkiv mariupol this is also denazification, when they shot and abused people in buch, there

was also denazification . near kyiv, there is a well-kept memorial to the soldiers of the soviet army, i spoke with the village headman who serves in the teroboron and asks him how this monument is so well-kept. he says that it is symbolic. this is where the line of defense of kyiv passed during the time when the german fascists were attacking kyiv. there were a lot of earth fire points symbolically that the russian troops were also advancing in the same direction. set this as his goal, but it turned out to be a symbolic russian language and the protection of the russian-speaking population not only in ukraine, but in this post-soviet space, the kremlin has been using it for more than a decade as an excuse for the annexation of territories and the creation of unrecognized republics, this rhetoric sounded and continues to sound in

the context of a full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, in response to this, more and more russian-speaking ukrainians declare their refusal to use the language of the aggressor and switch to the ukrainian topic, researched by iryna solomko singer and poet tetyana vlasova comes from lutsk since childhood, she spoke ukrainian, but after moving to kyiv, she says that she left russia to return to her native language and was forced to return to her native language in 2014 and the russian spring. i wrote songs and wrote poems in russian as well, but then i realized that i can no longer i did not write a single poem in russian after that, with the beginning of the now full-scale war, er, i immediately understood that the issue of the language would rise again very loudly there, now is the time, er, for ukrainian-speakers, er, to be kinder to russian-speakers, and for russian-speakers, it’s time to switch into ukrainian and tetiana decided to speed up this

process. moreover, in the first weeks of the war, many of her russian-speaking friends publicly announced that they were switching to ukrainian, because the most difficult thing when learning the language is to overcome the psychological barrier and start speaking. tetiana decided to found a conversational language club. by people who want to switch to it and or who lack communication in ukrainian, because now they write to me a lot, well, in general, they write a lot. i did not even expect that this initiative determines how much e-e reviews e that's why they write from all over the world. well, our ukrainians have left, and those there have already begun to forget the ukrainian language, unfortunately for those who simply have no one to communicate with, yuriy shevchuk, a professor at columbia university, is not surprised that the responses of russian-speaking ukrainians, the aggressor, became a mass transition to the ukrainian language because, as in every war, the language acquires such a deep meaning of a deep symbol of ukrainian identity and also of the

ukrainian struggle, we see the efforts of the enemy, who today is from us, so that we gave up their language and this, like everything else that putin does, has the opposite effect, i will not be surprised if, in ukraine, this wave of growing support for the emotional support of the ukrainian language will continue to grow, the professor from his side advises those russian-speaking ukrainians who have decided to stop using the language of the aggressor. don't be ashamed of the fact that the first one will be aimed perfectly and will be more like a surzhik . entrance to my class because here in this place there is no you just have to attack the language you want to master and not be afraid to

destroy it a little bit or something or later it will grow fresh green shoots and so i predict that this war will also lead to that that until a significant day, the position of the ukrainian language, shevchuk is convinced of this trend. in turn compares what is currently happening with the situation surrounding the german language after the second world war, when its use decreased significantly, it was associated with the war and the holocaust in the same way and now not only in ukraine, but also in belarus, kazakhstan, the countries of the transcaucasia, people will associate the russian language with totalitarianism , genocide and bloodshed, that is, vladimir putin

made the russian language the language of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, the language of hatred, which is associated with the most terrible crimes, that is why the historian adds the russian language will become less and less used and popular and more associated with putin's crimes in the context of ukraine - this primarily concerns the south and the east, the irony is that the population of mariupol was mostly russian-speaking and what putin did to reward them for this, he destroyed the whole city mass murders - this is the reward that russian-speakers in ukraine received from putin and they will not forget that the language of genocide and destruction is russian. motil claims that transitional ukrainian and the isolation of russian because of putin are now natural some processes will only deepen over time, therefore, in the future, the ukrainian language will not need any additional actions and legislative initiatives

for protection and popularization by the authorities from new york iryna solomko voice of america is not only the ukrainian language but also music - it is what shapes us as a nation gives us awareness of who we are, who is our enemy, and who is our friend - says musician yevhen malyarevskyi. russia's full-scale war against ukraine put his usual life of teaching vocals and directing a choir on hold. now yevhen records arrangements of ukrainian songs and teaches to his page on youtube and instagram, where they are viewed by hundreds of thousands of people. our interview with yevhen was born later. this is the first song that yevhen malyarevsky recorded after the start of the full-scale war of russia against ukraine, native enemies

. i felt when i woke up in the morning on february 24, i opened the news and i felt a terrible rage and a terrible anger eh about about are we talking about songs and anger at enemies before the war evgeny taught vocals led an amateur choir recorded and published on my pages in social networks arrangements for a number of mostly foreign songs well, now i record exclusively ukrainian music, most of it is exactly rebel songs because because it is super relevant because it is what, in my opinion, best reflects the general mood of all our of citizens, our state, ours, our present, the flag of the red mill is ours, all good is love, and black, by the way, the translation is in shock

. literally today, that is, everything is about the war, and most of everything is about the war with russia, precisely about its negative impact on us, only this is relevant now, and it resonates with me now, only this is another shock , yevhen calls the discovery of this rebel song for himself, here are green and fast bridges, time is not maybe there is no force to hold back the wall, just stand up, people, take arms for a moment of researchers, in particular , the writer yuriy andruhovych - this is a song of the kryvyi rih rebels, written in 1919, stand up, great country, as this song is known

appeared to the general public in 1941, and according to the official version of the soviet authorities, both the words and the music were written exactly then, this is a vivid example of a song stolen by the soviets, says yevhen . pam-pam-pam-pam-pam, all the same , the text "stand up is a huge country" immediately comes to me, and it is even necessary to go through some stage, some kind of metamorphosis in oneself, to really realize that the text is different and it is our women, and it is not for us that we want a prison, we do not want the moscow kremlin learned about it absolutely recently, i have not been engaged in any fundamental research work, i have taken what is already known and well, as far as i think it is now, i am trying to bring it to the general public, that is, just so that as many people as possible learn about it in general, but it is a shock and this is this song even this is

probably not the biggest shock. for some reason, the biggest shock was caused by the song oi frost, frost, which does not make me cold, i really have a cold, i have a cold, all these so-called borrowings, says yevhen, this is another cultural war against ukrainian identities, that's all. this is the cultural heritage, all the songs. all this forms us as a nation and is at the same time a confirmation that here we are, here we are, we existed and all this is our achievement, plus all these, again, like the language and all this cultural product created well, which has been created for centuries, it carries

within itself narratives that we must remember and which in general give us an awareness of who we are, who is our enemy, who is our friend and so on and so on, that is why, of course, russia's efforts to erase it from history or appropriate it is also a war war on culture on the front, i.e., an effort to take away from us everything that makes us ukrainians and what we are now returning to us, this and protecting us, i.e., once again, the assertion that this is ours and uh, on the other hand, this includes an attack on russia, then again after all, this war is not on the cultural front, we thus assert that it is not theirs. they are thieves and la la la la la la la la, as well as author's songs like chornobayivka seven times measure once cut, my mother used to

say to the wisdom of our ancestors when i was a child, i wanted in her, she wanted me chornobayivka caught up with always something bright strong upheavals, they are reflected in one way or another in everything, in culture, in music, in painting, anywhere. and today we simply observe a vivid example of this, that is, this whole thing, on the one hand, pain, on the other hand , irony, with the fact that, after all, everyone is afraid of this attack, but not so much, russia turned out to have a strong army and so on, how did they, how did russia think, uh, all this is now reflected in creativity, irony is my tool, i ask everyone what will happen. the first thing you will do when the war ends. i don't know. my mother is visiting, she is in her hometown in kyiv , i will call all my friends, get drunk, maybe write something. what do you think

will be the first song you will record after the war? -lease for ukraine in 2022, we will tell you more about it in our briefing literally in an hour and a half thank you for watching from time to time everything is fine see you tomorrow we are going back to our studio thank you for watching our broadcast and watching us

wow, there are more than 11,000 of us, which is not bad on youtube. well, dear friends, we are waiting for our next guest. actually, it will be. i can already tell what we have. until midnight until midnight we will have volodymyr tsybulko, a political scientist, we will have oleksandr solontay, the director of practical policy programs, the institute of political education, everyone knows sashka solonkaya . bohdan and you know me very last, this live broadcast while still sailing in kyiv was conducted by me just on the eve of the war, and mr. vasyl bohdan was also there, and he is also a former military intelligence officer, and i tell him, this danilov told vasyl that there would be no war with the

rezniks said that this is all ridiculous from belarus, no one will attack and there is nothing zelenskyy says let's grill kebabs i say and everyone says that there will be a war well, i mean western intelligence, but as an intelligence officer there will be a war on the 16th or not, he told me then that on the 16th there will be no war, but there will be a in the first days of the 20th of the 20th of the 20th of february . well, on the 24th, the war actually began, as we remember it, on the second day after the day of the soviet army. that's me. you didn't know then. they didn't know who to believe. this is how i believed in our to vlad, he took a planned vacation and went to lviv, and bang , and there was a war. that was the story. well, thank god, ukraine stood and stands and holds on
