redevelopment of the city in order to understand whether people will be able to live in this apartment again, we need to order an inspection of the entire building, is there a threat of the house collapsing, if the preliminary inspection confirms that everything is in order, then you can simply strengthen the load-bearing elements, it will take some time, and more than one thousand residential buildings were destroyed but there are still fears that kyiv and its surroundings remain under putin's crosshairs and the city may once again

be dealt a serious blow america time studio natalia leonova i congratulate russia's thinly disguised step to impose its will on the people of ukraine , the spokesman of the state department, net price, called the passporting of ukrainians in the occupied territories, he also strongly condemned the violent actions of the russian federation, which include the deportation and removal of ukrainians to infiltration camps, the influence was unprovoked and unjustified russia's war against ukraine on the world economy, its cause of the global food crisis, and ways to end russian aggression were the main topics at at this year's economic forum in davos, which on thursday completed its work on the course of events in davos, switzerland

. on the occasion and once again called on the western partners not to delay in helping ukraine with heavy weapons, he announced that without these weapons, ukrainians would continue to be killed individually, he appealed to germany regarding delaying the promised help of bohdan, did you hear leva reacting to his appeals about what ukraine will have after the long-term in this direction regarding what ukraine will have? i think that, first of all, ukraine will have the understanding of many countries of the world at the world economic forum despite the loud the name of the decision is actually not approved, it is just a forum, a place where there is an exchange of opinions, an exchange of ideas, it is important that it is at such a high level, heads of states , governments, ministers, industry leaders come there to speak out and hear others talk

privately and i think from what we heard both from ukrainian representatives and from others - this is exactly what is understood about the russian war against ukraine - this is a turning point in the processes in europe and even in the world, this war is russian aggression affects the economy, energy, finance, and even the environment, and they especially talk about the fact that now there is actually a struggle between different models of world development or the western democratic model based on freedom and rights of a person or a more authoritarian, autocratic , undemocratic model, how is it developing , which way is it going, for example, russia also very often draws parallels with historical events. for

example, today the head of the british ministry of foreign affairs and trade was in the balkans in bosnia and herzegovina, and she actually compared parallels between what is happening in ukraine, what needs to be stopped there so that what happened in the balkans, in particular in bosnia, not so long ago, and the genocide in srebernica, does not happen again congratulations and so on, all the words we need to ensure that putin is defeated in ukraine, sanctions cannot be lifted, there should not be any appeasement , because in the end it will simply settle putin in the future bohdan world leaders and experts continue to react sharply to the statements of henry kissinger, which were made on the fields of davos that it is necessary to negotiate with russia and make concessions for the sake of peace , in our previous programs we talked about the fact that

world opinion is divided into two camps, although we are not quite at the same level, the majority says that you have to defeat putin in battle, and only then speak from the position of the winner. some people think that ukraine should make territorial concessions. what new statements were made today, well, in fact, from the leading leaders of the countries, statements that ukraine should make some concessions to russia, in particular territorial concessions in fact, i have not heard of such, and uh, for example, german chancellor olafshol spoke about this today, but i would first like to say that the real observers who follow ukrainian events are actually the attack of russia since 2014 of the year note that now in ukraine, as with the example of many other soldiers, the situation is actually being resolved on the battlefield, the situation that, under

favorable conditions, let's say, will be settled or approved by diplomats, is actually being resolved . this says a lot, ukraine emphasizes this and of course that the main burden and the main thing is decided by the ukrainians and in particular the ukrainian military, but ukraine is very dependent on international aid and the fact that the international community, through the mouths of the highest representatives of the leaders of the leading states, emphasizes that russia must lose, that they support ukraine. and for example, today the german leader said that what russia is doing is actually imperialism when the country forces others to its will and tries to rewrite crossing the borders, this cannot be allowed, he said, and i would

emphasize this. it seems to me that everything is very important, because countries like germany and others , in the end, from their financial assistance in their a lot will depend on political support and even military aid, as pshots said, putin must not win this war, and i am convinced that he will not win it, he has already been defeated in all his strategic goals, today russia's capture of all of ukraine looks even more unattainable than before the beginning of the war, thanks to the impressive defensive efforts of the ukrainian army, the population is more than ever ukraine emphasized its european future, it is important to let putin clearly understand that there will be no dictated peace ukraine will not agree to this, and we will not agree to this, it is worth adding. of course, in addition to such words, such statements from the head of the largest

country of the european union from germany. obviously , ukraine also expects more concrete aid, in particular military aid, and this was also stated by ukrainian representatives, in particular, in davos as , for example, the minister of foreign affairs dmytro kuleba , and we talked about this earlier. the food crisis in the world is gaining momentum, western countries are considering how to create a safe border to unblock the port of odesa and export ukrainian grain. russia

has already said that it is ready to lift the blockade of ukrainian ports if the sanctions imposed on it by the measure are canceled by the united states. are rejected, we will definitely not lift the sanctions in response to the empty promises that we constantly hear from the russian federation. everyone has good reasons to be skeptical of various proposals from russia. it is possible to end this brutal war as soon as possible, to overcome the rise in prices of goods, the rise in prices of food supplied all over the world, if russia stops its brutal war, stops blocking ports, stops shoot at grain elevators, ships with grain and stop the violence. the united states and the international community pay considerable attention to the fact that in unblocking grain supplies to other countries and

overcoming the threat of hunger in the world, in particular, this issue was one of the main issues at this year's economic forum in davos, on the possibility of ukraine to export through russia's actions will have an impact on foreign exchange earnings and the economy of ukraine in general , experts warn. we will talk more about this today with my colleague oksana baitrytenko, who is closely monitoring this situation and researching this problem. so, oksana, 20 million tons of grain are currently stuck in ukraine and cannot be delivered to importers of this grain all over the world, and this can cause hunger for 10-15 million people around the world, according to experts, but and this is bad , of course, for the state of the food situation in the world, but what does it mean for the economy of ukraine? yes, natalya, the battle for control of the black sea is possible not only for the world, it is important first of all for ukraine , but if the black sea ports are not unblocked ukraine will lose its expertise and in fact

will lose its role as the granary of the world, agrarian analysts say this, because it is practically impossible to export such a quantity of grain by rail or road, but if these ports can be unblocked, then an agrarian expert can become an impetus for the ukrainian economy, even despite the military actions that are now taking place on the territory of ukraine and this will also give ukraine the opportunity to earn the necessary currency in order to stabilize the e-e exchange rate e-e flight rate e-e hryvnia and according to estimates of the ukrainian government, it is the agrarians who bring in half of all foreign exchange revenue for the country, so in general, what is the situation with the currency now, the war has been going on for the fourth month, what do we have, what does ukraine currently have with the currency market, yes, at first, the official exchange rate was fixed by him, and in the conditions during the war, it allowed us to avoid a large-scale financial crisis. this is what experts and

analysts say, but strict regulation forced ukrainians to remember what the black currency market is, and recently the national bank took certain restrictions, in particular, he canceled the bank markup on the sale of currency, which brought the bank rate closer to the street rate, but on the other hand, ukrainians who are now abroad or exporters faced the so -called currency scissors, because they can sell currency to the bank at the official exchange rate of uah 29, a little more. -e sectors that are one of the main currency earners for the country and about the difficulties that this

sector is going through now, i was told by mr. lyubomyr ostapiv, this is it-sector analytics, i suggest you watch his story . unfortunately, many specialists are looking for ways to avoid bringing currency into ukraine at all. the last study showed that 90% 91% of specialists in any field voluntarily submit to the armed forces on a volunteer initiative, that is, people actively support the state , and people came here with their incomes, kept money in ukrainian banks. and here are these three or four months , including making a financial contribution there the defense of ukraine, however, when they were given these exchange rate scissors, which can eat up to 30% of their actual earnings, well, many people, and i will repeat

this, it is not a tax that goes to the state. yes, it is simply a problem of these multiple exchange rates, people are not ready to tolerate it and they are looking for ways to circumvent such strict regulation, a forced step by the national bank , says the british economist timothy, these are extraordinary measures, because ukraine has to set priorities, so it is clearly necessary to keep the exchange rate relatively stable and preserve the currency, because it is necessary to buy weapons and pay for the basic needs of ukraine, this can be understood, the expert is also convinced of the national banks zelenskyi supporters of the market rate even believe that ukraine forced its own to believe in its victory, even though at first analysts predicted the rapid fall of kyiv, ukraine will also manage to keep its own currency from collapsing during the war for this the official rate should not deviate from the market, i think they want to have a competitive exchange rate in the medium term, a competitive rate is needed but without the risk of a financial crisis

and this is a difficult balance, they strive for it and so far they manage to do it, you know, such a balance , the it sector hopes for a dialogue with the government. i think , first of all, the national bank should go to a professional dialogue with exporters and listen to exporters and sit down at the table on this issue. to look for a solution because we all understand that the correct answer is a floating market rate, unfortunately, in wartime conditions, and it will be utopia now to say that the national bank can go for it, so we need some half-hearted solutions that will take into account the interests of exporters, including the it industry and importers, where there are critical imports and we understand that the country needs them, but the russian ruble , according to bloomberg, showed the best dynamics among world currencies, the ruble exchange rate cut from 143 rubles per dollar in

march to 63, now experts consider this growth not real, this is a very artificial exchange rate, this is part of the russian pr campaign to show that the sanctions do not work, but the numbers do not match, as far as i'm concerned , russia says that it is doing well thanks to the export of energy resources, because cars are growing because of the sanctions they talk about a $95 billion balance of payments surplus, but they lost $60 billion in foreign exchange reserves. so there is a significant outflow of capital, at least $150 billion, maybe more money is leaving the system, usually reserves grow when there is a balance of payments surplus, something is wrong , something is happening, something smells bad so oksana we heard that ukraine suffers from a lack of currency, what help can ukraine count on from western partners in order to maintain financial stability, the event is indeed an event and promises significant foreign currency inflows to ukraine, we see

the american legislation recently adopted and signed by the president about $40 billion in aid to ukraine, $7.5 billion of which are direct grants to the budget to finance ukraine's greatest needs, specifically budget ones, and also, the european commission promises to allocate 9 billion euros, e.e. germany but canada is investing approximately one billion dollars in an account administered by the imf for ukraine, that is, the funds are offered. they should be, but of course they are needed in ukraine money already right now and according to the estimates of the city of e finances of ukraine e-e and which is supported by the imf also for e financing of the budget deficit contained in it, 5 billion dollars are needed e-e and e-e this minister said that only 2 billion dollars was received in

in may, that is, this money is still not enough. thank you , oksana, for your analysis. thank you for finding time for us. the delegation of the house of representatives of the us congress is visiting ukraine . in the amount of more than 40 billion dollars, the members of the congress decided to assure that these funds really guarantee that kyiv needs the weapons and that the ukrainian military will receive them on time. my colleague kateryna lisunova spoke with one of the members of the republican congressman brian fitzpatrick's delegation. according to him, the approval of large financial aid from the united states is not enough if this will not guarantee the necessary equipment for the ukrainian military on the front lines, it is obvious that the humanitarian front is as important as the sanctions front, but the focus of this visit is military aid, we talk to military

leaders, fighters, and on the front lines to understand exactly what kind of aid they receive, what works, what doesn't , do they know how to use what they receive after the approval of a package of more than 40 billion dollars for ukraine. we decided to come here and talk to people literally on the front lines, obviously that the allocation of the great financial aid is important for ukraine, they need these funds. but if this does not guarantee them the provision of the necessary equipment, then this is a problem, so we want to make sure that we do what we voted for, american congressmen also visited cities in kyiv region that were liberated from russian aggressors, according to congressman fitzpatrick, most of the destroyed objects were civilian and this is one of the examples of war crimes in russia, in ukraine we visited every city in kyiv

region that suffered suffered heavy losses, we communicate with the mayors of these cities, we went to the places where these atrocities took place and saw burial sites, in particular in bucha. we saw destroyed buildings, these are all civilian objects, broken schools the hospitals were not military targets at all, we are collecting evidence of war crimes here. also, we saw how cruel the russian military is, they are even worse than we thought, they are worse than terrorists, worse than idil than al-qaeda because of what they do, these are just terrible stories, terrible loss of life and abuse delegation american congressmen also visited the us embassy for the first time after his return to the ukrainian capital, according to fitzpatrick, the resumption of the embassy's work is a powerful signal both for ukraine and for the whole the world is pleased to see the american flag flying again

in kyiv, it shows ukraine and the whole world that the usa is back, that we will not go again and we will not lose this war, we will not allow ukraine to lose this war, the embassy is not yet fully staffed, but the employees are returning to many ukrainians and americans working in the embassy were sent to the united states just before the invasion, they will gradually return people and we will help them in this download the voice of america mobile application the application allows you to automatically bypass blocking thanks to the built-in vpn service, read the news , watch informative programs and videos, as well as listen to podcasts of the voice of america ukrainian service three months of the russian war,

seven and four-tenths of a million ukrainians crossed the border , of which almost 5 million went abroad, however, since may 10, the state border the service of ukraine records the preponderance of the entry of people why ukrainians return home even warning of air alarms and threats of shelling or capture of the territory my colleagues maria prus was told by blogger kateryna markova, who recently returned from ternopil oblast to her native zaporizhzhia. hello alya, it’s quiet, and then she sleeps in a whisper. my name is kateryna markova. i’m a blogger and i’m from zaporizhzhia. my husband and i are both bloggers. other activities of this video production are a-a and we have a small child and uh, uh, 1.5 years old, uh, our markian, and to be honest, at first this year, i'll be very

well, i'll say it directly, i felt that there would be a war in the middle of february, i was already in a complete panic, and in the end, we took tickets to of turkey on february 24 in the morning we were supposed to fly to antalya and i woke up at seven in the morning from my mother's call and with the phrase "we didn't have time, the whole country is being shelled, we didn't want to go, but they began to capture the region of our hometowns by the ribbon , and we began to lose contact with our relatives in the city of birth this is the city where i come from, in principle, and then the seizure of the energodar npp happened, and then everyone got scared and everyone started leaving zaporizhzhia en masse. and we also

went . rent apartments there were simply not, and one subscriber says i have a big house in a village in the ternopil region, i myself live in italy, please come and stay as long as you need a-a well, it happened on may 9, the situation has not changed and the lend-lease was already signed and with there was confidence that they would not break through to zaporizhzhia because we already have a very strong defense of the city and anyway the man is now protecting our region. so we have 65% of the region under occupation, everything is very scary hmm, literally 30-50 km away, the occupiers are from the city , hmm, but we decided to return, because the capacity is not

counted, and this is how long it can last, because it can be two or three months, and until the end of the year, and well, we can’t live in the wrong place, haven’t been back for so long may 19, it’s not peaceful here, it’s not the same atmosphere as there is in the western cities of ugu and abroad and all the more, i’m telling you about these constant worries, it’s just my second night here, we have a very powerful arrival, uh, a few kilometers away from e-e zaporizhzhia, which was heard throughout the city, e-e activated the car alarms in the courtyards, although it was an unsanitary place, and i woke up in the middle of the night, my husband was not there, i was with the child, i woke up, but from the explosions, not from the alarm, it rang out immediately after the explosions, we ran into the corridor, and for the first time my hands were shaking so much

, uh, that is, we just returned you understand, it's the first night and i'm broadcasting it to people that this is where i returned and please just don't take an example and do benefits draw your own conclusions but yes yes it's easier for me here because my husband is nearby ah but i didn't return to safety honestly fortunately for us markian is not young enough to notice what is happening all this time. and we have never been so far from each other for so long. we are with my husband. well, freelancers, we work at home. well, my husband is always at home . and here we haven't been living together for more than two months a-a of course it was difficult because it felt

that in maly it means e-e male energy e-e there is not enough dad because when we met acquaintances a-a our webinars e-e boys, he just went to them right away, and he doesn't like strangers, well he doesn't accept them at all, don't shout at them, but for men, he found a friend in their arms and a friend in their beard, and of course the meeting was very touching, my mother and i started crying when we entered the zaporizhzhia region and we turned on the e-e track by elsa's hands i'm going home on repeat oh even now i'm going to cry we never missed each other so much and sometimes we didn't appreciate each other so much we happened very interestingly the family was always ukrainian-speaking to them and i had

such a position i literally voiced it in public before the war that i i speak russian in order to to show that patriots are not only ukrainian-speaking people and that i am russian-speaking and do not need to be saved, but because of that i don't remember which day of the war it was, just for a moment i just got bitter from the russian language and especially a-- to educate educate my son in this language and that's why i decided to switch to ukrainian first of all in the public space, i.e. on the blog. i started to communicate exclusively in ukrainian and write posts in ukrainian after returning home and apparently it's still the same syndrome it's all my fault, and what am i?

i constantly think about the fact that i am at home. i am now enjoying what is known, and many millions of girls, mothers, they are not at home. and the worst thing is that many have no place to return to. there is no home anymore, and this thought hurts a lot, but i really hope that all of us, all of us ukrainians, will soon return to our homes , and we will rebuild our homes, we will rebuild our cities, and this horror will never happen again in our work .
