such an opinion is so formed and there is a political party that is interested in the fact that the agenda is advanced and probably. you can think that it is supported by russia, at least in terms of information . with the fact that the green transition also has its own characteristics for nuclear energy, so not everything is clear-cut, so to speak, so i think that this is just a discussion that reminds me of a discussion about genetically modified products with on the one hand, they are considered not very useful , on the other hand, there are certain studies that say that, well, the harm from such is exaggerated, and on the third hand, everyone perfectly understands that without the use of new technologies , including genetically modified products, it is very difficult to solve the food problem in the world well, let's touch on another question, probably the last one for

today, about why europe did not give ukraine a clear signal that ukraine will be a member of the eu, did not give the status of a candidate for membership during this month. i read that such a decision may still be made, but hmm , the information that gets into the european media says that they are not very keen on granting the status of a candidate for membership, although this does not mean anything, we know countries that have existed with this status for many years and are not members that is, this is just a signal for ukraine. why don't they even want to send us this signal? as for the european council, in principle, the european council does not make decisions , so let's just give someone a status there works accordingly, the procedure is as follows. the european council, by the way, said that it will consider the issue related to the status

of ukraine, etc., but it is up to the european commission to prepare the relevant document, so it was written there that the european council will consider the proposals of the european commission regarding the granting or non-granting ukraine has the status of a candidate, therefore, in this sense, the question is not that it is, so to speak, a closed question, it will simply be considered somewhere, if i am not mistaken, somewhere in three weeks, where will the next one be a meeting of some kind of council and this is exactly what they will talk about, that the european commission probably so, but the fact that this issue is very difficult and very debatable, given the large number of economic and internal problems of the european union, it is obvious to ukrainian public diplomacy to all ukrainians and all our partners need to increase their pressure on the european union. thank you, mr. igor, we will increase the pressure and mention the status of e-e as a candidate for eu membership in our economic programs, since the profit from that economic will be big on this today everything

ihor burakovskyi head of the institute of economic research and political consultations that thursday we have in the program news of the economy during the war watch us on weekdays in the morning and in the evening i am andriy yanivskyi tv channel espresso together we will win i congratulate on the air the program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america time time i am its host ostap yarysh the united states announced a new round of sanctions against russian businessmen, managers and those who help kremlin supporters avoid sanctions restrictions, the united states continues to support the people of ukraine and bring to justice president putin and those who make russian

aggression possible - stated the us secretary of state anthony blinken, the military aid of the west to ukraine continues and the united states plans to transfer missile systems for sleep to britain and also about missiles with a range of up to 80 km, we will talk about these and other things with yulia yarmolenko, who is joining us from the capitol hill yulia greetings greetings, yuri, let's first talk about this new package of sanctions. what are they actually about now and who got on ostap's sanctions list this time? we are talking about three packages of sanctions from three different american ministries . the ministry of finance introduced sanctions against russian officials, businessmen, and wealth managers of the russian elite . and these sanctions are striking for those who were actually key to helping the russians avoid previous american sanctions, in particular, it is about putin’s offshore manager one of his supporters and

people close to him is also in question about a new package of sanctions from the state department of the united states, the state department has added several people to the list of sanctions, again people close to putin, it is about the spokeswoman of the ministry of foreign affairs of russia, maria zakharova, and also about one of the richest of russian oligarchs oleksiy mordashova also presented their package of sanctions today additional and the department of commerce of the united states their sanctions concern more than 70 and these there are institutions in russia and belarus and these sanctions are aimed at limiting the access of the russian military machine to new technologies so that russia cannot continue to carry out its aggression and these days the secretary general of nato and genstoudenberg are also visiting washington, what is he saying about the military support of ukraine and who is currently giving assessments of the entry into the war, do you know the stages at the moment

nato secretary general genston beree is meeting with the head of the pentagon lloyd austin earlier on thursday he met with the american president joe biden, as well as vice president kamela harris and national security advisor jake sullivan. and of course we know that at the end of this month there will be a big nato summit in madrid - this is historic because, first of all, nato can expand, but also these are historic and unprecedented times when before the global community faces very serious challenges, but today, when the nato secretary general went to the press after meeting with president biden, he said that putin wanted nato to be smaller , he invaded ukraine, but in fact nato started to expand nato became stronger and putin made a strategic mistake, so now the secretary general of nato said the task of nato allies and partners is to make it so that putin is not able to win victories and of course in this context it is very important that sanctions continue to exert this pressure, but

also military aid, he said yanston said that the united states is definitely the champion in this, but other countries should also continue to help ukraine militarily so that ukrainian positions are strong both on the battlefield and at the negotiating tables, because again predicting how the war will end is very difficult , what will be the course of the war, but every war says janston uberg in principle, where ukrainians continue to pay a high price for the protection of their own country on the battlefield, but russia also suffers great losses, it is our responsibility to provide support to ukraine , the majority of soldiers, and this war is also more incredible at some stage will end at the negotiating table, but we know that what happens at the negotiating table is very closely related to the situation on the battlefield, so we have to help them support them so that they can achieve the best result.

in short, the best result that yanston barmacholi said about the transfer of the russian federation from the united states, let me remind the audience briefly what it is actually about. the fact that in the first trance there will be four himers systems - these are systems that help ukrainians will be able to help ukrainians hit targets at a distance of up to 80 km, and the pentagon is convinced that this will play a very important role for ukrainians of the military on the battlefield for your analysis, i will remind you. it was yulia yarmolenko who joined us from capitol hill. we continue our release and talk about the un security council. today, there is an open debate at the highest level on strengthening responsibility for violations of international law. the event was initiated by albania, which began its presidency on june 1. in recent months, the security council has published a number of reports on alleged violations of international law in ukraine, in particular, the human

race watch report, which documented possible violations of the law cases of crimes by the russian military against the civilian population in chernihiv, kharkiv and kyiv regions, including cases of rape and shootings. on may 25, the united states , in partnership with britain and the european union , announced the creation of an advisory group on violent crimes . uzra zaya we received reliable reports that russian troops tortured and killed people by executing them with their hands tied behind the scenes of the public rape of women and girls and the deportation of children to russia, we know that russian troops continue to prevent the safe passage of civilians fleeing violence and humanitarian organizations that are trying to reach those who need help, and those who committed all crimes must be held accountable . our

message to the russian military and political leadership the next world is watching you and you will be responsible whether it is worth giving your life for language, one of the most famous activists and intellectuals of the last century, susanzon, was so convinced that the struggle for language, culture and history in military conflicts is no less important than the physical battlefield of the first full-scale war in ukraine, several well-known american publishing houses granted ukrainians the copyright to translation the biography of susanzon so as to inspire the ukrainian reader the story of this incredible woman , the translation was undertaken by the publishing house not antonenko, it is headed by a woman who, by the example of an umbrella, despite the war stubbornly continues to fight the enemy with the power of books, says iryna matviychuk, a woman who

showed the world how important the role of intellectuals is in military conflicts, she understood very well those who risk their lives for the sake of photographs of purity in order to change public opinion and thus affect real changes in the world, that is why zon so today is very close to the ukrainian reader, the author of her biography, the american writer benjamin mozozer, is convinced that in ukraine, another force is trying to destroy the culture of just take away independence, they throw bombs at museums, theaters burn ukrainian historical books, they take down signs in the ukrainian language. i think many ukrainians will agree with susan-umbrella that it is worth fighting and dying for to have the right to speak their language, read their books, her activism was manifested during military conflicts in cubi in vietnam bosnia was the spirit of her time she was one of the strongest most amazing women at

a time when women's voices were not heard she spoke about the power of the mind against totalitarianism for the zones so it was it is important to communicate with the local population to understand what they are fighting for and what inspires them when sonda went to sarajevo in 1995 there was a very similar situation as now in ukraine there she staged a play there then not everyone understood it even laughed why these famous intellectuals are going to sarajevo with the play and when i went to sarajevo myself i very clearly felt how important it was for the local residents now when you look at concerts in lviv like kyivans go to the opera when you see any manifestations of ukrainian culture you understand that there are many lies about ukrainians, that they are normal people, they love their language, listen to music, read books, probes lied that all these things are not for decoration, they decided that culture is a matter of life and death, unfortunately, the events in

ukraine proved that it was the right book by ben moz together, so life and creativity was published by the usa in 2019 and immediately became a bestseller in a few months, the museum received the police prize for this book already then, the ukrainian publishing house, not antonenko, was burning with the desire to publish this book in ukrainian, although i understood that it is unlikely that i will be able to cover the cost of copyrights, i ah, for a long time, eh, hmm, i like to publish biographies, and i am always stopped by the fact that such publications are very expensive, and in itself, because in order to publish such an edition , eh, you need a very large a photo block is customary, er, quite well-known er authors are now not so many books are published er with such blocks er in biographies. well, because i already explained to you, it is expensive, the publisher cannot er afford to simply

invest a large amount of rights to the text of the photo and the cover of this book is owned by three american agencies, including one of the largest publishing houses, harper collins, when a full-scale war began in ukraine in february, all three companies decided to meet the ukrainian publishing house at the last stage of negotiations regarding the publication of this book in ukrainian, everything changed due to the invasion of russia, as a result of our the perspective became different , we wanted to show our willingness to do everything we can to help anetta publish this book copyright holders of most of the photos in this book and we provided them to geneti free of charge even for the american market, the cover cost aneta a symbolic hundred dollars and the costs of the ukrainian translation of this book were covered by the us embassy in ukraine i tortured the american embassy for two years let's support this

book this is a famous person this is a famous author this a well-known publishing house is a bullet, the police broke them , antonenko is convinced that this book will have a huge audience in ukraine, it is an essay about life, that is why it is read. this generation of students read just uh-uh this generation of students even up to 30 years ago because they already heard it and uh-uh the generation will catch up somewhere uh-uh 40-50 that is, somewhere 30-40 will fall out i consciously understand that and well, because they are not a lot of people read this generation of perestroika, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, it is impossible to break through , it is impossible to explain in them completely different priorities and other, ah, just tricks in life, american

publishers and the author himself do not hide their admiration for the ukrainian publisher aneta antonenko, who did not leave the publishing business even during the war they compare the strength of this woman with the strength of herself suzenzondak planeta antonenko is currently in kyiv with her gun and cat and is editing this book. you might think that there are other more important things in ukraine now than publishing books, but anetta believes that supporting ukrainian culture and the dignity that this culture presents is the most important thing that she can do now. managed to continue working to fight the power of books and defend herself with books in the literal sense i remember the big stacks of books by her window that protected her from the shelling it's amazing to continue this dedicated his last issue of the war in ukraine to a delicate and very vulnerable issue during the war, the magazine published about 20 drawings by ukrainian cartoonists, the proceeds from the

sale of this issue will go to the needs of the armed forces of ukraine. drawings , the american studio of tydalova decided to sell them, the creators of the comic hope to get to know the americans better with the ukrainian president, and also promise to transfer part of the proceeds funds for aid to ukraine will be continued yuriy mamon political power volodymyr zelensky with this name a biographical comic book about the life of the president of ukraine was released in the usa the idea of ​​publishing a comic book about zelenskyi appeared at the publisher darn davis at the beginning of the war this book means a lot to me because of my ukrainian origin my grandmothers and grandfathers emigrated from ukraine. i wanted to take advantage of the opportunity not only to tell the story, but also to contribute to the common cause. especially since the history of volodymyr zelenskyi is a fascinating work it took a little over a month to write the comic, the

script was handled by michael frizell, who is not the first to write a comic based on the biographies of famous people, in the track record of his works in biographies of hillary clinton , joe biden, amy winehouse, and many others, but as frizell admitted in an interview with the voice of america, the preparation of the comic about zelensky turned out to be it was a particularly difficult challenge for me in the usa, there is not so much information about his past, my task was to write the story of his life on 62 pages of a comic, while the publisher asked not to focus only on the war, and i agree with him on this, we wanted to know more about his whole life, starting from birth and childhood, the comic tells about the different stages of zelensky's life from childhood, the career of a comedian, the presidential race of 2019 and even a meeting with ex - by us president donald trump, a separate series of pictures is dedicated to zelenskyi's work with the team of the president's office during wartime, in order to get to know the ukrainian president better, frizel had to

read a huge number of articles and interviews the co-author of the comic, argentinian artist pavlo martineno, who is known for his graphic biographies of david beckham , nelson mandela and donald trump, also had to watch a large number of video materials with zelensky. i had to depict him on paper, so i wanted to trace how his facial expressions change, so that from his face i wanted to show him when he is an actor and when he became a politician, because these are two different people, zelenskyi the politician tries to keep himself very serious, he sometimes seems to want to show some emotions, but he tries not to show them. i noticed that when he was an actor, he allowed himself to smile more and in general his facial expressions were more lively . the comic about zelenskyi was included in the biographical series and the dalwave, which already includes more than 200 publications that tell about the fates of presidents and other politicians comic book authors hope to increase the interest of american

readers in world politics in this way, people have mainly developed an attitude towards comics as empty , pointless entertainment in this genre for a long time there is no interest in science and news, even if you look at the highest-grossing films, they are mostly about superheroes, the appearance of politicians or actors in comics has long seemed strange. more such books, because reading a comic is much more interesting than a biography on wikipedia, a comic about zelenskyi can already be purchased on the internet, and the publishing house promises to soon release a special a collector's copy of the comic, part of the proceeds from sales will be donated to the international committee of the red cross for aid to ukraine yuriy mamon voice of america, the heroine of our next article,

86-year-old resident of kyiv, halyna pashkevich, survived the holodomor, the bombing of kyiv in the 1940s and the shootings in babiny yar, then the famine again after 1945, it seemed to her that the sky was forever it became peaceful , but after 81 years, russia began to bombard her native kyiv and galina pashkevych again had to hide and flee. the elderly woman was taken away by her relatives from ukraine she is in california and see the story further. this is how i live now after i ended up in california with the help of my daughters and grandchildren. i

left with a small backpack of 5 kg. kyiv university science is called paleo-ethno-botany. i have as many as 250 scientific publications, articles, and 12 books. i was born in kyiv in 1936. germans appeared in the fall of 1941, and the bombings began a little earlier. and we lived in kiev, the whole war and the whole war, i remember the howl of these flying bombs and the planes going in a pike, it was very scary, on this street, which is nearby, the germans drove the jews into the baby yar, and the baby yar is a kilometer from here. here we, the same sister, heard a noise. ran to the corner and saw how the germans were walking along the sidewalk with machine guns lowered and a stream of people was walking along the roadway with

these rags with carts with some with children in their arms, we stood with our eyes wide open and looked at it. how did they not push us there and drag us there? in this flow i still don't understand, but at night the machine -gun rounds already started, and we all heard it. children's memory somehow clings to such um events that are shocking, and that's why these memories remain. i know, i understand how children need to learn, which they need to communicate with each other and how to play, children love to play, but in war it is impossible and it is very

painful . i don't believe it, people you say that to me, no, the war has started, i go out into the corridor, i open the doors and we are very friendly with the neighbors, they are young, they are 35 years old, the family, i go out into the corridor, and their doors are already open, and they are standing dressed, i say no, dasha, you know that the war has started they speak yes, because we heard the explosions, they are on the opposite side of the house and they immediately say we will not leave you, explosions are being heard, the siren is already being used, we need to hide somewhere and we are hurrying to the garage, you have been driving for three days, we have not eaten, we have not gotten out of the car, we are all the time were driving well, how did he go? the same day he flew to warsaw and we planned to go to warsaw, well, to cross the polish border and settle it

with him in warsaw, well, on the way, it turned out that there were huge eyes on the border with poland. zhenya found out that it was better for us to go to the slovak border. they start leading us to the tent and show us how to get settled , where is the food, where is the sim card, and they immediately arrange a slovakian card for us . it is possible because we already have such great ties with the russians, i have a lot of colleagues at work, so i went to moscow and st. petersburg all the time for my work, and they came to kiev and imagined that these are our enemies. it doesn't fit in your head, but when you see what

they're doing, and what they've turned into, the very villages that i love, my dear ones near kiev, in which i've been, i'm sorry too, i'm crying, i 'm worried, i have friends i know in kiev so fast i felt the danger of all this, thanks to him , i turned out to be in a calm environment. and you know, i thought at some point, i changed my mind, that how well i raised my children, my daughter, here i am, i raised them. it is very important to me. ukraine is strong, very beautiful. and most importantly, you know, first of all, we need to talk about the people. yes, we have

united together. people against this evil would even be hard to imagine. peaceful time. we probably missed this time. when in the 14th year we lost and crimea lost two regions, donbass and luhansk region, this time was missed and it was impossible to stop unconditionally. all of us believe in victory and everything . because of great suffering, but everything must end, ukraine must be free, and to protect ukraine from russian secession, animals also help the public's pets, a patron dog that accompanies ukrainian sappers in the search for explosives, but in addition there are other dogs that perform equally

important tasks and help save human life. the story of one of them in german, a shepherd named bayraktar, will be told by anna kostyachenko and oleksiy yakushev. all the puppies were born at the beginning of the year in the canine police center in the city of irpin. two months later, russian the troops began shelling the city with artillery and enemy aviation was working very hard from the sky, and here above irpenok live rotorcraft and airplanes, as we can see from our building that they are the ones in the dog training center ours were aiming because it is clear that there was aimed fire, one of the russian missiles in the first days of the war hit the premises of the dog training center, but neither the staff nor the dogs were injured, says the head of the center maksym pischanskyi everyone was saved by this kid 15 seconds before the attack, he let out a loud squeal this gave the employees the center needs a head start to hide in the bomb shelters, then the dog got the proverbial name byraktar after that the dog handlers carefully monitored his behavior and

every time the dog gave a signal, they hid in time from of russian missiles as soon as he began to show by his behavior that something must be up, we immediately discovered the cache, i must say so, but not only airstrikes posed a threat to the lives of dog handlers and their dogs during the attempts of the russian army to advance on kyiv, recalls maksym pischanskyi, on march 1, russian tanks entered to the territory of irpen , but miraculously in the past, the canine center on the seventh number is here where the track is. we saw enemy equipment that entered here, then turned around and went in the opposite direction. volunteers were standing next to us ukrainian battalions, and there was actually a whole zone here that was almost always under fire, then the dog experts decided to evacuate the breeding dogs, that is, those that can give valuable offspring, in the center there were only working animals that had adapted to constant explosions and their owners, in search of saboteurs, they examined

suspicious cars on items of weapons and explosives and also accompanied the refugees to leave the cities
