are ukrainians seeking asylum, let's talk about this with my colleague oleksiy kovalenko, who is joining the broadcast oleksiy, i congratulate the united states and canada. of course, this is not the first choice for many ukrainians who were forced to leave own homes, but still, what programs work in north america and how many ukrainians were able to use them in the last almost 4 months of russia's full-scale aggression against ukraine was simply destroyed there was a colossal colossal destruction of the infrastructure or a huge number of houses were destroyed and millions of ukrainians were forced to seek safety in other countries. it is clear that a larger number of ukrainians went to 44 european countries, but we know that tens of thousands of ukrainians are currently in the usa and canada or have received permission to stay in these countries, we know that on april 21, the new united for ukraine program became operational within which, as well as within the framework of other programs to support ukrainian

refugees, and the united states will accept up to 100,000 ukrainian refugees who will have the right to live and work in the united states for two years, we know that 45,000 americans have already applied for sponsorship for ukrainians, and in fact, this is the largest, largest program of sponsors of private sponsorship for refugees in recent decades. we also know that 6,000 ukrainians are already on the territory of the united states and another 27,000 ukrainians have received permission to come to live and work on the territory of the united states, we remind him that before that, 2,200 ukrainian refugees crossed over and received permission to cross the southern border of mexico with the united states. we also know that a similar program also works in canada . to live and work on the territory of canada

for three years and 300,000 ukrainians have already taken advantage of this opportunity and about 130,000 ukrainians have received permission to stay on the territory of canada, only in general ukrainians are forced left home went to europe and where do they go the most, according to statistics, every tenth ukrainian was forced to leave and is now in the territory of european countries in the territory of 44 european countries, according to the statistics of the office of the united nations high commissioner for refugees, 5 million ukrainians are the most seven million ukrainians are 5 million and 100,000 ukrainians according to the latest statistics, and more than half of them - 3 million and 400,000 ukrainians - have already registered under the temporary temporary program protection, the majority of ukrainians are in the territory of neighboring poland, that is 1 million and 200,000

ukrainians, and we know that the largest number of ukrainian refugees are children and women, and also according to unicef statistics, 5 million ukrainian children need humanitarian assistance, of which 2 million and 200,000 are ukrainian children are abroad, apart from poland, ukrainian refugees are usually accepted by other countries and the european union, and in fact, germany is one of the largest receiving countries of ukrainian refugees - it is almost 800,000 ukrainian refugees, 640,000 of whom are registered under the temporary protection program, among other countries that accept ukrainian refugees are the czech republic, italy, spain, and usually ukrainian refugees are located in neighboring countries in romania and moldova, for example, there are up to 80,000 ukrainian refugees in slovakia , and 77,000 ukrainians refugees and

25,000 ukrainian refugees in hungary oleksiy, in short, as a ukrainian, what programs do they adapt to and what percentage of forced of displaced persons hope to return home according to sociologists and sociological surveys, 90% of ukrainians who are currently in the territory of european countries plan to return home as soon as it is safe, in fact, a lot of ukrainians are already returning home, especially in the liberated regions, in the regions of western ukraine, in the regions of kyiv and chernihiv, but we know that in addition to the fact that this is an unprecedented number of ukrainian refugees on the territory of europe, this is also an unprecedented support of the ukrainian government. european governments and european nations have various programs for ukrainian refugees , and ukrainian refugees in europe have the right to live and work. they have medical protection and the right to receive social

benefits. thank you oleksiy, we hope that everyone will return home with us soon oleksiy kovalenko, the american actor ben stiller, the un goodwill ambassador, addressed the global community from ukraine on world refugee day and called on the world to support people who are forced to to leave their homes because of the war or for other reasons, in the past few days he visited rzeszów, lviv, irpin, and kyiv, met with immigrants and representatives of the ukrainian government. hello, i am ben stiller and i am in ukraine. she changed their lives, no one voluntarily chooses to run away from home to seek safety - this is a right and must be preserved for every person, and volunteers

from jersey city have been helping ukrainians who were forced to leave their homes for more than a month now and are looking for temporary shelter in the united states, activists have set up a system to take care of the most basic needs of refugees under the care of volunteers, more than 60 ukrainian families who have arrived in new york and jersey city report from there by iryna solomko tamara tokar, a teacher in one of the schools of jerry city in the united states she came to the states in the late 90s, learned english and in a few years was able to confirm the teaching diploma she received in ukraine and get a job in an american school. an apartment with her son, but she does not regret her life. dubina in ukraine in kryvyi rih tamara lived with her mother and sister, who was normal. we traveled, everything was fine . you understand that your family is in danger, you

don't know what to do, what to hold on to how can they help, what can you do to tamara's mother, she is almost 87 , she is a child of the war, she lived under the german occupation for two years, she says she remembered hedgehogs all her life and could never believe that the war would return in her life, and that's how it all started, you already know that i was in trouble. when i remember what this is. this is terrible. everyone started shaking me. and in general , the same thing that i experienced. we were hiding in podil until i got there . back she went back and well then i became what will be the whole vira mykhailivna together with her second daughter and the family evacuated from kryvyi rih to lviv reports went to poland in parallel tamara flew from america to meet the family they united in warsaw my first my first the decision was to save my mother, we were very lucky

that she had a tourist visa to the united states for 10 years, tamara's sister viktoria and her family stayed in poland for 10 years, we hoped that the war would end after all and i could return home it was very difficult for me because that the sister's niece and her five-year-old daughter were left in uncertainty, so to speak, and then a miracle opened on the 28th. we followed all the news and checked this program because there were conversations, but there was no specific date when it could be issued and what we did not know the specific conditions for a participant in the unity for ukraine program - this is the presence in the united states of a so-called sponsor, that is, a person who is ready to provide a refugee with housing , a plane ticket, food, clothes, and medicine, although tamara is usually a teacher and new financial obligations affected her budget without thinking, she became a sponsor for her sister and her family to draw up the documents, a lawyer helped her

, they didn’t take a lawyer, she didn’t charge money for the drawing up, she did it for free in order to help ukrainians you provide the refugees with all the forms they require from the bank. when you open the form, you see a large list of documents that need to be uploaded. and when it was all over, i received an answer in 10 hours that the first check was passed and now the people for whom i processed the documents can open an electronic mail and answer a few questions, when they did all this, they received a document that they can enter, apply for the right to enter, travel to the territory of the united states, the program participant must within three months victoria came right away, but her daughter. that granddaughter could not exercise her right because they do not have a foreign passport, now they are waiting for it to be issued. i left, and my daughter went home , she stayed there. tamara says that it is not just financial, that is why she is grateful to the americans and volunteers

who help us. we have a house of ukrainian culture. there is its director, we contacted him. he says come, we will give you food and clothes, they call every month and say take what you need and it helps us a lot now victoria she is waiting for a work permit, she says she dreams of starting to work to help her family, the most difficult thing for her at the moment is the language barrier, because at school she studied german to help her sister solve this problem, tamara has already enrolled her in english courses, but the dictation itself says that she will return as soon as the war ends home, i hope that there will be something left from new jersey iryna solomko the voice of america in the history of refugees from mariupol, especially tragic ones such as the kudyrasovs, who were forced to flee their hometown under the bullets of the russians, only with time their little daughter learned to sleep peacefully again after weeks of continuous shelling and explosions in rivne, when

the family moved, now omelyana met with them and yury dankevich, their story continues in the repair shop as always hot, despite the fact that several dozen workers received summons to the army, one of the largest communal enterprises in rivne the geography of the people who came to us in rivne does not stop, it impresses this kharkiv and mariupol and severodonetsk rubizhne, that is, unfortunately , people fled from the war, we understand that it is hot there are there hostilities going on or are we ready? we invite you to accept our team. we have five people who are internally displaced and have taken up positions, uh, those who were at our company. these are really highly skilled specialists. maxim, one of them worked at

giant industrial plants in he runs a mechanical workshop in mariupol in rivne. it was here that his family started a new life. normal dreams appeared because there was always this moon somewhere. every night you dream of how you run away when you don't have a job, you don't have a home, you left with your family, you don't know what to do. and somehow it seems that life somehow ended every day ukrainian maksima is getting better, but about what their family experienced in their own apartment in the center of mariupol he tells in his native russian, cleaning was when it was time, that's all maksym with his wife, a lovely seven-year-old daughter lisa, and a tiny rabbit passed through a month of the terrible russian occupation, что он пришёл смотреть шланг и ребенок очень был перепуганный, then she wears

blows continued 24/7 phosphorous bombs, cluster bombs were and street fights of the snapper worked and this it's very scary, he's a photo rabbit, he helped our child, she took him, my deval, bluetooth headphones so that she wouldn't hear these explosive waves, these shells and to the music, she uh-uh, cowered in a corner with a rabbit, covered herself with a blanket, well, the first time we sat like that then the same continued in the rabbit 's basement they saved a burning house and he happily crossed all roadblocks in his hands when the family was leaving the city in the direction of berdyansk and zaporizhzhia already at home it was written with ribbons in huge letters, children, you could see i am carrying a child they shoot at me but it was scary, we fell to the ground we crawled, people left at their own risk and there were no different corridors in the city, they never crouched before the car and shot, as it were, despite the fact

that you are well, you see that you are a citizen, you had a small child even though nadezhda что всё таки сейчас maksym and ludmila stayed in the city because of her seriously ill mother who needed constant care, they were forced to make the most difficult choice in life, they decided to leave when they realized that their residential quarter was persistently destroying the house behind the house, please hit the house, then the house began to burn quickly, and there was a house opposite us, and the people did not have time to run out, they fell from the eighth to the seventh floor with their wings. well , they threw out the juice. it's just like, well, the torch burns until nightfall, the woman is ready to eat, the child was hit by a tank with a projectile, hmm, it bombed, and this net that they were

preparing for was killed by the mother in front of the eyes of a four -year-old girl. a very lucky coincidence of circumstances saved them from being wounded and killed, little lisa, who was suffocating from asthma in the basement, dreams of returning to school and continuing to run her own youtube channel, which she started four days before the war in english. lyudmila is looking for a job. from mariupol, and they all have their own story, and i will always answer to this side of other people, even where they are bombed, because such a society does not exist in mariupol. and then the neighbors who stayed in our house, well, not in the house, the house burned down, which was in the basements, so they knew that they were digging these pits and burning people, that is,

they are killing people, and then they themselves start it, that's all, i don't understand what's going on there saw and experienced these people, however, they find the strength to start all over again and tell their story on the piano . everything was burnt this video was ruined and how it would actually turn out like a farewell to the city. vot pericheskie reexamining and recalling how it was, baby

shulyak yury dankevich for america's vote from rivne against the backdrop of a series of mass shootings in the usa miami authorities found a way to take dangerous weapons off the city streets and help now in ukraine, on saturday, for the first time, an action was held in the city to buy back weapons from their owners in order to transfer them to ukraine. the event was organized by miami city hall in coordination with the city police department for those who bring to hand in weapons, they don't ask where they got them from, but encourage them with gift cards from 50 to 150 dollars on the first day of the program, they managed to collect almost 70 weapons after an inspection , only those who can agree to fight will go to ukraine, the mayor's office assures them that they do not have an export license however, with the support of the state department, they concluded an agreement with an american arms manufacturer that has permission to send firearms to ukraine, usually

a municipality should not be able to export weapons to another country, and this is quite it is clear, so we did it together with the state department and found a company that is already engaged in the export of ukraine and has the appropriate license, this is the manufacturer and that is why they cooperate with us to carry out this entire operation, all this is done through the proper legal channels, they will not send weapons to ukraine that are not suitable necessary or not useful in their efforts to defend against russia ukraine will not be defeated by the united states will continue to support ukraine as long as necessary, a new us parcel in bridget bring to ukraine in an interview with myroslava gongadze in kyiv about the priorities in the position of the head of the main diplomatic agency of the us in ukraine, the support of washington, washington, kyiv and the challenges against the background of a full-scale war in

an exclusive interview. feeling from kyiv, what are the challenges facing this country and the united states that support it, i can't even express how proud i am to be here, to be back as the ambassador of the united states, working with a fantastic by a team of americans and ukrainians, the tasks facing ukraine and us are enormous. when i arrived here, i set five immediate goals , and the first is to help ukraine defend itself, a friend, to help bring those guilty of war crimes and atrocities to justice, and the third is to ensure that humanitarian aid, in particular, that is sent from the usa reached out to the final recipients, especially in the conflict zones; fourth, to control this

huge amount of american aid and ensure appropriate supervision from here in kyiv the last thing is to reassemble our team of americans and ukrainians who work in the embassy and restore our structure, so the challenges facing ukraine are very big, they are facing all of us , but we are truly determined and ready to solve them. on june 15, president joe biden announced the allocation of additional aid to ukraine, hon. give ukraine the most support in military and financial terms. you mentioned the supervision of how this money is used in this country. what is your system of control over money now, so there are long established systems for all the assistance we provide including security assistance for what we do we are now performing the appropriate functions that we are supposed to perform here in kyiv we are working with the ministry of defense and other parts of the ukrainian government because it is important we are here

for that and also for for other reasons, are there any special representatives to oversee the support that the us does not give to ukraine, we have our embassy and i am very happy to be here as an ambassador, we will have special staff, including senior of employees dealing with these issues president zelensky president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky hinted a few days ago that the united states does not provide enough or provides too late if you comment on his position at the beginning of the war even before we were fully focused on providing ukraine with security assistance, the weapons it needs and as soon as possible and that's actually my number one job here i think there were some problems in the beginning but i'm here just to make sure that everything we do directly

helps ukrainians on the front lines helps ukraine improve its position on the battlefield, which in our opinion will strengthen its position in negotiations when it will be appropriate, what are your relations with the ukrainian authorities now, do you interact at all levels, one of the things that i noticed the most in 25 years of diplomatic work is a huge positive the support i see from the government from people outside the government from the public as well as support from home including public support in my home part of the us in the midwest i am very i'm grateful for that, i think it's very important for us, i think we understand that it's incredibly important for ukraine, its future and its existence. but i think it's also extremely important for european security and for the u.s. we shouldn't allow borders to change by force janele seed sword how do you see this war in general, there are different tactics and

different strategies that are used by the shata and other countries, and it is obvious that the usa is taking the lead in creating this coalition against russia, the ukrainians are suffering, the war is dragging on. how do you see it? end do you see an opportunity for peace negotiations with ukraine? he said that we leave it up to the ukrainians to decide when ukraine wants to negotiate. i know that president biden pointed to what president zelensky said that all wars end with negotiations . the content of the negotiations at the discretion of the ukrainians, what at the moment the usa expects from ukraine, before the war there were talks about endocorruption efforts, etc. that those of us who so resolutely support ukraine in

the us government among the american population who is for ukraine who supports ukraine, we see and understand the future that ukrainians aspire to, this is a future where ukraine is free, independent , prosperous, sovereign and decides its own future for us americans also understand this with whom it washes so i hope that what i plan to do and what we are already doing is supporting ukraine in this direct task of its efforts to protect - this is extremely important, i think everyone will agree with this i think that the government and people here will agree that another important task is and remains reform efforts that ensure the future of ukraine, ukrainian children and their children. fails what could be the consequences file ukraine will not

be defeated and we will continue to support ukraine as long as necessary as i have already mentioned this is very important for ukraine and indeed it is important for european security it is really important for america too because as president biden said what happened is outrageous from a moral point of view it is not a provoked unjustified attack on a sovereign country in the interests of america to ensure peace and security in europe it is vital so the consequences are really far reaching beyond the borders of ukraine we all understand very well what is at stake that is why we are here to help ukraine to win every question about the recovery efforts the us is making a lot of efforts a lot of conversations are going on about the plans for the reconstruction of ukraine, what do you see in this process, is there a coalition already created? i know that in

july in luhanov, switzerland, a conference will be held to discuss this process. i think the government in my country wants to support ukraine in all possible ways. i think we also want ukraine to have a leading role in determining how best to carry out reconstruction from what i hear from the government leadership, it is a focus on reforms, it is a focus on building ukraine for the future, i think we all strive to support it download the mobile application of the voice of america, 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 ukrainian service of the voice of america, and this is the end of it. thank you for watching the voice of america in ukrainian
