a reference to own sources information that the american administration is really considering the inclusion of multiple-launch rocket systems in the very next package of military aid for ukraine, which they may announce in the near future, in particular, it is about the american systems mls e or himers julio, their radius of action radio from their impression is hundreds of kilometers and as the ukrainian says the government is actually providing such systems as critically needed for ukraine now and they and these systems can actually change the course of the war and help ukrainian forces to win back the temporarily occupied territories, including the temporarily occupied kherson region, are now in the administration continuing and completing work on the 11th package of aid troops under the program of jubaiden's presidential powers, and today antony blinkin, the state secretary, and the spokesmen of patronus jonakiev were asked about this about what will really be these rocket salvo systems inclusion in this package, the officials said that they

do not want to rush ahead, they will not reveal all the details of this new package to his announcement, but added that they are in constant contact with the ukrainian authorities, listen to their requests and, as before, want to do everything possible to help ukraine achieve success on the battlefield, we can listen now to the comment of the pedagogue's head, john kirby, about what he said on this matter. i know that everyone is interested in what will be in the next package of defense aid. and what if not, i understand this, but i will not rush ahead, nevertheless it is important to remind that with the additional funds that are available to us now, and this is several billions dollars more only for the program of presidential powers. i am talking about the program to promote the security of ukraine. we will collect and use these resources as wisely as we did with the last ten aid packages to ostap. in the east

of ukraine how do you assess the course of hostilities in the pentagon ? yes, indeed, now the halt was also talked about, and in particular today, for example, at the briefing, yesterday at the briefing, pentagon spokesman john kerby characterized the current situation in eastern ukraine as an artillery duel with the use of artillery from both sides, according to the pentagon's estimates, russia is really trying to attack severodonetsk in particular, lysychansk, other cities, it is trying to cut off ukrainian forces from this direction, but the fighting for these cities continues, according to the pentagon's estimates, russia has done some lessons from his previous failures, he is now trying to apply other approaches, in particular, he uses smaller groups to capture possibly smaller targets but also, as john kirby emphasized, there is still no significant progress on the part of russia, that is, he says that russian troops can capture some population center, then it is captured back by

the ukrainian side, then they would continue again, that is, there is such a constant constant change on the battlefield, at the same time he emphasizes that er, russia still maintains a significant advantage in terms of military strength in the east of ukraine, but despite this , ukrainian troops continue to fight effectively , continue to fight hard, creatively, as he said john kirby and there are no signs of whether or not the pentagon observes that there is some morale falling there and believe that the ukrainian army can really resist a, but also yuli, according to the pentagon's estimates, and the situation that is now, in particular, in the east of ukraine, in the south of ukraine a- and according to their estimates , this may indicate that the hostilities may drag on, but they are actively monitoring the situation, as i have already said, and are in constant contact with the ukrainian authorities in order to understand the urgent needs of the ukrainian army and try to provide them, as they say in the pentagon, as soon as possible and to the greatest extent possible,

so similarly the united states provides military aid to ukraine, did we hear this week the announcement of additional support from other countries besides the united states, yes absolutely we heard this week the announcement of aid from a number of european countries in particular, denmark announced that it is providing ukraine with anti-ship missiles and harpoon systems that can hit targets at longer distances . in addition, the czech republic also announced that it provided ukraine with combat helicopters, tanks and missile launchers were also mentioned, and other countries, in particular, norway, greece, poland, etc., announced that they would provide ukraine with artillery and ammunition, and we really see that not only the united states, but the united states, although the united states is the most the states provide us with military aid, but other allies and partners, in particular nato in the region, are also joining in and are trying to

help ukraine with military aid from their side. colleague ostap yarosh, the next 10 years will be decisive for this century, and the american military will have to protect world democracy from autocracy about cezeviv president joe biden delivering a speech at the graduation of the us naval academy on friday separate attention the american president devoted putin's brutal war in ukraine what already has consequences not only for europe but also for this world joe biden once again emphasized that putin's goal to destroy ukrainian culture and identity is also cruel putin's brutal war in ukraine, he is not only trying to take over ukraine, he is really trying to destroy the culture and identity of the ukrainian people by bombing schools, maternity

homes and hospitals-museums, there is no other goal here than the destruction of culture, a direct attack on the fundamental principles of international law and order, and stanford university students of this p the prison had the opportunity to hear a video message from the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi and also to ask him a few questions about what the youth were most interested in and what initiatives are being organized students of a prestigious californian university in support of ukraine. now i would like to have an opportunity to talk about all this with the organizer of the event, the leader of the ukrainian student association, kateryna slenkova, katya. congratulations. congratulations, what struck you the most in today's speech of the ukrainian president? and what, in your opinion, was important for the stanford community to hear? i think that it was important to hear about what is actually being talked about in ukraine while the community in the country is diffusing sanctions and some political

issues and the president brought everyone back to reality the fact that every day a-a families lose their er-er their er-er parents sons and the grief that still continues and he gave an example that one of the pilots died and his wife a-a in the interview they said that he was in heaven and remains alive in heaven and even august conquered him with such things. they just read the audience and built this city between the center and ukraine. katya . very uh how can we help this willingness to act uh she is the dialogue dominated, some talked about existing

initiatives, some asked what we can do as students, there were american students and even a student in russia who said how can i help stop that katya, it's interesting that now and again the question about how can students to help ukraine, what are the needs, but they know that the students of a senior french university have been helping ukraine from their side since the beginning of a full-scale war, tell us about these efforts, what volunteer initiatives are possible among the students at stanford university, of course, there is a team of many talents, and therefore the projects are already diverse, and the most important project now is the provision of humanitarian aid, and we managed to rent from for full and e-e

medical e-e medical supplies now our team of eternal students and computer and any informatics has launched a telerele from a platform that provides e-e medical consultation in ukraine separately we have an initiative that helps ukrainian e students or incoming students to see various opportunities abroad, and a separate team is working on creating opportunities to help ukrainian children, any devices for distance learning or supply e-e prinatra a quickent i'm sorry ice wish you english bitter the usually english i see, switch to the english language. so, katya , you started talking about and also how the validity of the state of ford students helps ukrainians, in particular, does

the state open about additional possibilities for ukrainian students this year, maybe there are some special virtual programs to which students who are in ukraine can apply. this is a very good question. we are actively working to find out more information about which places have been created for ukrainians. the main question is to ask together with other international students and in the same place. a university at its level will have an antiquated quota to fill with ukrainian students. that is, this is the advice number one and advice number two is to go and google ukrainian global university and it will be a bridge between ukrainian students and by many international universities in order to connect and be able to give talent, you need the opportunity to study katya war, the full-scale

war of russia against ukraine has been going on for three months, and we hear time and time again from american legislators and ukrainian politicians that it is very important to keep the topic afloat in order to ukraine was in the center of the american mass media. in your opinion, does the ukrainian topic, russia's war in ukraine, remain the same relevant topic for the stanford student community, or is it possibly disappearing? attention or vigilance, are students interested and want to do something or help their peers, especially in ukraine? all your questions are very apt and there is indeed a problem that they are distracted by other things, and i think that this is the task of our ukrainian students. to be your friends, to be a-class dramas of your country, the needs of ukrainians, and on our example, we do

many events, and to attract unity. we sincerely welcome all international students who want to help ukraine and make them part of this help, one of of our volunteers, george fickerry, a veteran and a citizen of the usa. that is, it is in our hands to attract people, to give them some opportunities to express themselves in this context, and this is my advice to all ukrainians in america and abroad: they will continue to buy from with your topics that you are for them this is a source of truth, this sur is new and a resource of emotional relations with this terrible situation that is now in ukraine, katya, i saw that,

in particular, today's speech, a video of the speech of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky was received with applause we saw that there were students, and i see professors as well. do you think that the president's words to zelensky today may have changed the views of at least a few people who may have doubted their support for ukraine? do you still think that a-a had such a powerful fact about the speech of the ukrainian president to the community that gathered today, i will say that the mada that gathered today she is in the center of that discussion, she is involved in the beginning of the war, now it is important for us to spread this speech and the speech with as many as possible er increases the number students so that this gift of time from the president connected not only those who were in the audience,

but people from all over the states. i am sure that having such and such a platform, where every student could ask a question, brought them closer to ukraine to be more involved, that is i am sure that everyone who was at the meeting today will be interested and stay on the topic of the ukrainian er ukrainian question for a longer time . at the very beginning of the week, the russian diplomat, adviser to the permanent mission of russia to the un in geneva, boris bondarev, resigned in his statement , he condemned the war of russia against ukraine and also declared the unprofessionalism and degradation

of the ministry of foreign affairs of russia, this after 20 years of civil service and three months of full-scale war in russia against ukraine, what is the significance of such a step and can bondarev's statement cause other resignations, the opinions of american and ukrainian diplomats were collected by iryna solomko russian boris bondarev is considered a veteran of the russian diplomatic service in the system of the ministry of foreign affairs, he spent 20 years on the voice of america telephone commentary, he said ukraine became a turning point after that, there is no choice, there is only one choice - to leave, leave until i don't know what i will do next, i think about it if i will have to return to russia, then the prospects may not be too pleasant, former constable in ukraine, john gerbs, they call her bondarev unusual, unfortunately, i do not have a good feeling that he is the first of many, now everyone

will watch what happens next with him, he may end up in prison, we'll see colleagues coat of arms william tayler calls bondarev's statement an important step, because the diplomat mentioned not only the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, but in general gave a critical assessment of the russian diplomatic service and its head, possibly other diplomats and officials who will see this statement of one brave diplomat in geneva will start to ask the question that in reality what he says is the truth what others should say therefore it is possible that the statement will encourage others officials to do the same, of course it will reach minister lavrov and, most likely, president putin, maybe his messages will be able to penetrate the consciousness of the highest russians or that it may have a certain positive effect, because the war is a strategic mistake, a mistake on the part of russia, permanent representative

of ukraine about the un serhii kislitsy, in turn, considers it a brave act by bondarev, but urges not to exaggerate their importance in the context of analyzing the consequences for the entire system, which consists of almost 15 thousand russian diplomats, this is huge putin's youth army and not only u19, because there is also an attentive age of diplomacy, which is so consolidated in its political corruption and degeneration that only in the third month of the war there was one diplomat who publicly declared his position, according to kislytsia, russian diplomacy has always been elitist and monolithic will fall into system from the street without having high-ranking relatives or without cooperating with the special services is impossible and unlike ukrainian diplomats what are the important

moments for the country for the example of the orange revolution or the revolution of dignity showed a principled democratic position russian consulted around the authoritarian system they were brought up in a nomenclatural environment and come from former communist functionaries communist diplomats they were brought up in the traditions of stalinism in putinism they were fed at the usual feeding trough that putin created and uh they are under real threat of reprisals coat of arms in turn, the convinced kremlin assesses bondarev's actions as an unfortunate incident, probably the authorities have already sent a message to the ministry of foreign affairs, which in turn sent it to its officials, warning them to be vigilant about people who do not support putin's policies or to avoid such demarches in the

future. for a week or two there were demonstrations against the war, and then a very clear message came from the kremlin, and for all such manifestations of dissatisfaction with the war, they began to be severely punished and they largely disappeared. taylor is more optimistic and believes that with such statements, more and more russians will understand the catastrophic consequences of putin's actions, especially among those who have already lost their relatives. at the same time, the former ambassador notes that the regime does not like dissidents, so he fears for security. bondarev's statement - this is a direct criticism of president putin and the minister of foreign affairs bondarev should know how to protect himself and his people, communicating with the voice of america, bondarev confirmed that he fears for his safety , because during putin's rule, several thousand citizens

living abroad were killed, although moscow denied involvement in their death from new york iryna solomko henry ridshevel america's voice of russia's war against ukraine istanbul has become a neutral platform for diplomatic efforts turkey's position largely coincides with the western allies in supporting kyiv, but istanbul is not burning bridges with moscow either turkey is also alone it is one of the few countries where russian planes are still flying, so this country has turned into an attractive destination for russians , voice of america correspondent dorian johnson tells us. who seek to avoid both the consequences of economic sanctions and potential repressions by putin , says kateryna lisonova, for security purposes, we call our hero andre by his real name. today he is drinking tea with his friend, also a fugitive from russia. andre flew to istanbul last month when i heard about the probable introduction of a nationwide military draft transkrypchenko

when i heard a new one that might be a draft i had only two hours to pack my things and leave i know people who also tried to leave russia but the police started talking to them ask why are you going i chose istanbul because it is not so far i think i knew about this city i have acquaintances here i hear russian everywhere and regarding the full-scale russian invasion kyiv concluded a contract for the purchase of turkish drones ukhtar later the closure of the bosphorus by istanbul made it impossible to strengthen the russian fleet for attacks from the sea, at the same time, turkey is the only country in nato that refused to impose sanctions against russia and still allows russian planes, this, as well as visa-free travel, made the country a popular destination for russians to someone as a place of refuge for others as a transit to a european union country er debtor i read the news and

thought that eventually the borders will close i have the last chance to leave russia you can easily leave for europe you just go to istanbul first and then to europe itself many of my friends already in other countries. they traveled and decided not to go back. now many russians are buying real estate in turkey. this is a way to save their savings, which also allows them to obtain turkish citizenship for local companies. real estate such as proporti turks is a time of great demand and even the exclusion of certain russian banks and the swift money transfer system did not become an obstacle for russians to buy real estate in turkey, programs for obtaining citizenship are most often interested in investment real estate in istanbul, now due to the shutdown of swift, the money transfer process is stuck, but there is another

way cryptocurrency is one of the best ways to send money to turkey andre says he plans to move to europe and start a new life there life but dum he is with his family and whose country he left kolson i think about them every day almost every day they call and write to them actually i would like to take them away from russia or at least i hope that russia can change although i have no idea how long it will take it is necessary because it is already similar to the bad years of the ussr for me it is the death of russia remains in istanbul he is helped by local turks and a rapidly growing community of russians for whom turkey has become a refuge kateryna lisunova dorian jones and vladimir sergeev voice of america download the mobile application of the voice of america, the application allows you to automatically bypass blocking thanks to the
