p.m. time is hosted by ostap yarysh. nato leaders identified russia as the most serious and direct threat to the security of the alliance, as well as peace and stability in the euro-atlantic region. this decision was made at the madrid summit, where they approved a new strategic concept for the next decade. nato also officially invited two more countries to the alliance, sweden and finland. putin wanted nato to be smaller, but nato will be more. he told gense kalyansu and jens toltonberg about other important results of the meeting and what they mean for ukraine. from the white house and the summit in madrid, colleagues, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, bohdan, the first

question will be for you, are you closely following the summit from the scene, today nato announced an enhanced package of non-lethal aid for ukraine as well as about assistance for the modernization of ukraine's arms sector. what is it specifically about? actually , today at the summit and during all these recent days of various meetings at a high international level, today it was repeated what has been heard several times recently, namely that the western community in this case 30 nato countries declare that their support for ukraine in connection with the russian attack is unwavering, and today jans stoltenberg, the secretary general of nato, said that this support will last as long as necessary and the main emphasis was made here, in particular in madrid, on the fact that ukraine in the conditions of war is getting closer to nato

ukraine is starting to receive more nato weapons, which means that ukraine needs to train the ukrainian military in how to use it, the possibility of ukrainian cooperation, interaction, when it is about the military level, a little more details about what exactly the secretary general said about ukraine today, please listen to this excerpt from his speech here in madrid, allies and will continue to provide significant military and financial assistance, and today the leaders agreed to increase our support by agreeing to a comprehensive package of assistance to ukraine that includes secure communication, fuel, medicine, protective equipment, equipment

against mint chemical and biological threats, as well as hundreds of portable anti-drone systems, it is also very clear that allies ready for a long journey of unpredictable wars but we need to be ready for a long time, and this is what president zelenskyi made us all in the hall understand, and our the answer was yes, we are ready because they are fighting not only for independence, they are also fighting for values ​​that are fundamental to nato, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of each country, and therefore it is important for our security. separately decided to announce the provision of additional military aid to ukraine . do you know what new weapons are promised by the ukrainian military, judging by what is being heard? right here in madrid at the summit, i suspect that

perhaps some may be disappointed because here within the framework of the summit or from the leaders of nato there was no announcement of any specific batches of new types of weapons . ukraine continues to promise to supply and continue to supply armed, for example, a rocket salvo system from norway, the same one was discussed the day before. by the way, we also know about the supply of long-range howitzers from the netherlands and from germany that there were more than one case when weapons were transferred to ukraine without announcements. they learned about them already when they started working on ukrainian territory, the most important thing. i would say that the conclusion from this summit is that the nato organization,

the north atlantic alliance, is an organization that has received a new impetus, and we just recently heard from, for example, former president trump that nato is an outdated organization. we heard from the current president that macron was appointed for some time because nato is brain dead in those times have passed ostape, by the way, this is important remark if we talk about some fresh, fresh, a-a announcements that we started from nato today, it is about nano, also from the united states, joe biden announced, in particular, a significant increase in the military presence of the united states in europe please tell me in more detail about this decision and why it is important ostap tina already spoke to princetonberg at the beginning, he really stated that putin wanted less nato but got more nato, it is not only about the expansion of the alliance

to two countries, but also about increasing the military presence of the readiness of the alliance and here is what president biden announced today, we know that since the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine , the united states has already increased its presence in europe from 80,000 troops to 100,000, now we are talking about a further increase not only of soldiers, but also of warships and warplanes and , of course, many details about this new plan are not disclosed, they say that they will adjust their placements depending on how the situation develops, but a few important president biden described the points of this plan as follows let's listen here in spain we will work with our allies to increase the number of us navy destroyers stationed in spain from four to six in poland we are going to establish a

permanent headquarters for the us fifth army corps and strengthen us nato interoperability with the countries of the entire eastern flank, we will leave an additional rotational brigade of 3,000 fighters and another 2,000 personnel based in romania and we will strengthen our rotational presence in the baltic countries and we will send additional f-35 squadrons to great britain and place additional air defense equipment and other facilities in germany and italy. so we see many such announcements of important points, but the most attention is paid to the permanent deployment of united states troops in the army, the army headquarters in poland and today in the village of ta wolander is the deputy secretary of defense of the united states. they asked if this did not contradict the agreement between nato and russia in 1997 about not stationing permanent american troops in

eastern europe, to which the elephant said that no, no. contradicts because at that time it was about not deploying powerful offensive forces, and this is different and important, if we are talking about the general importance of such a decision , then president biden said that it demonstrates that the united states is ready to defend every centimeter of nato territory, it also demonstrates that the alliance is strong and united and it also demonstrates that the alliance is ready to repel any potential attacks, regardless of where they come from the air, land or sea , and ostapa is very important. bohdan already spoke about the fact that the strategy is actually changing. we hear about the fact that russia's full-scale war against ukraine has changed the way nato looks at its security as early as 2010 in the nato strategy, russia was described as a strategic partner, now in the 2022 strategy for the next 10 years it is said that russia is

the greatest direct and most immediate threat the greatest moment for the alliance, so really yury , we saw this statement also today, bohdan, if we are talking about the ukrainian context, then today volodymyr zelenskyi gave a virtual speech in front of the leaders, what he emphasized in i would say that president zelensky's speech was another example of such a direct address with examples, with the conviction that the russian war against ukraine is not only a problem for ukraine, not only a problem for ukraine, but a threat to the whole of europe and, in fact, to of the world and for example. today he gave an example. he spoke about latvia. he said that russia looks at the world, looks at neighboring countries like latvia, not at all the way we do. he says that we

consider latvia a sovereign, independent state. which has the right to decide to solve its own affairs, russia said he considers latvia to be a part of which it can have claims therefore it is obvious that what is happening in ukraine can be a threat to the baltic countries and to poland and poland and so on he said that the war has become a terrible burden at a terrible price for ukraine, he even has such a figure, five billion dollars are spent on the war, go to the war every month, and that is why he emphasized the fact that support for the west in ukraine needs a multifaceted e financial military armed forces, he especially focused on the fact that the western allies could provide ukraine with such weapons so that russia could no longer destroy and destroy ukrainian cities, what

we have seen unfortunately, just recently, among ukraine's partners, nato is not the largest partner. that is how the united states is and now it is the usa that is trying to take the lead when it comes to uniting allies to support ukraine in the fields. it was here that joe biden had a series of bilateral meetings where, in particular, the ukrainian issue was also touched upon, with whom the american president ostap also apologized for the loss of the leaders, and as earlier in an interview with me, john kirby, a representative of the us national security council, said that the goal of president biden in europe will be to demonstrate the results of american leadership, and that is why it really happens at such meetings, and today is one of the important meetings with the president of turkey was rejected and she was reprimanded and they talked in particular about how to get the grain that is blocked in ukrainian ports and deliver it to the countries that need it yuliya bohdane thank you very much for your voluminous inclusion, let me remind you it was yuliya yarmolenko and bohdan

tsyupin according to the information of the prosecutor general's office of ukraine during its full-scale war, russia fired at 25,000 objects of ukrainian civilian infrastructure, most of them were destroyed, in addition , ukraine is already investigating more than 20,000 cases of war crimes by russians, representatives of the state department and the us department of justice declared their support for these efforts during the event of the us institute of peace simple message we have a clear message for to everyone who even thinks about committing war crimes and other serious crimes in ukraine, one word, no, we suggest that these people stop and look at the numerous cases when, months, years, and even decades after the crimes were committed, the united states and other countries arrested a thief,

for example, when a person makes a mistake and will decide to visit a country that has an extradition agreement today they were talking about this horrible mall attack one of the mobile justice teams was there the first day after it happened working with national police investigators and others coordinating with the prosecutor general's office to collect evidence in accordance with criminal law standards and to preserve that evidence and make it available for any future prosecution proceedings how did the prosecutor general's office begin all of ukraine now the crime scene of the case will be investigated for many years, courts in ukraine will be the first to consider these cases, then international criminal courts and potentially criminal courts in europe if russian criminals will continue and we know that they always do it. the legal front of the fight against russia is no less important than others

. work on it is ongoing both at the state and non-governmental levels. ukraine's legal community has joined forces to help law enforcement officers record russian war crimes and also coordinate work with their foreign colleagues on the challenges of bringing russia to justice, universal justice and why ukraine must prove that russia is committing genocide iryna solomko spoke with anna o. grynchuk, president of the association of lawyers of ukraine. congratulations anna. before that, ukrainian law enforcement officers had no experience of working with such crimes. yes, these are specific crimes . how important are the evaluations? do they really play such a role ? we had experience, we had experience since the 14th year. of course, it is not at all on the scale that we are talking about now, but there were already human rights organizations that worked on the territory of donbas, collecting and documenting

evidence of crimes and that is why we are still using this experience that what we what we are doing now is really eh we cooperate with foreign projects by foreign organizations eh which eh had experience all religions eh balkans rwanda and here there should be cooperation specifically with the international sector by the state ukrainian sector and not by the state ukrainian sector, another interesting project global ride complete and these are mobile working groups created where there are investors, lawyers from both sides, from ukrainian and foreign, in the case of wright complex, this

the english side, ah, these mobile groups, they travel around the territory of ukraine to the crime scenes and also cooperate with the victims and with the crime scenes to fix the problem with the russian soldiers is that physically, very few of them are actually detained the impossibility of having them physically, so on, the meeting is precisely the obstacle that does not allow you to get this all this this is justice, the international criminal court is forbidden to hear cases without e-e presence, that is, justice in absentia is impossible on the basis of the international criminal court but they can issue arrest warrants for the detention of these persons, and i already think this will be a great victory for ukraine, it will mean that all

the surnames that will be passed there, all russians will not be able to, well, in fact, they will be blocked in russia, but i simply will not announce that e- look at the serbian conflict. milosevic hasn't changed yet. the government inside the state couldn't extradite milosevic, but it happened. and when it happened , all the legal documents were already ready for his transfer to this special tribunal, and here, for example, we we cooperate with the international association of lawyers and they have an e-e application e-e application for a smartphone called i witness to at proceeds this is an application when you take a photo video through this application automatically

e-e metani e-e you have already recorded where you see the location and time in these photos and before, and also the program ensures the authenticity of universal justice, so much is being said about it now, do you see progress in the fact that more countries have declared this in principle, the principles of universal jurisdiction provide for what kind of military crimes can be punished not only within the limits of the judicial system where these crimes were committed and already about 10-11 european jurisdictions have begun to open proceedings. we know from recent cases that a lot of journalists have

died . if we talk about the creation of an international tribunal, there are currently many structures that deal with this topic, and the creation of another one can help. the international criminal court examines crimes against humanity. war crimes, genocide is also included in the jurisdiction . and we, uh, according to the situation in ukraine, we say that it is not, it is not, it is a planned aggression, it was planned, it was planned by non-executives who carry out orders, the planned aggression was uh, by the political leadership of the russian federation, and this is a separate composition of the crime if we talk about the crimes of genocide, that is, this is a military tribunal, it will also consider them, it is the most serious crime among all, and it is a crime that

really needs to be collected very carefully, all types of evidence, the international court of justice has to the authority will be possible - when a separate tribunal is created, jurisdiction over the investigation of this crime will also be transferred there. but why, in my opinion, why is it very important to establish the very fact of this crime , if this is not done? now we will never put this point between ukraine and russia and we will never punish russia for not only this genocide that is happening now, but that has been going on for a hundred years, so in the context of economic crimes, that is, because a tub of grain near a disco, we have so many examples of the destruction of enterprises that it is being done in order to start this process and

ukraine really did not have any reparations and economic compensation, the conflict is still ongoing, the experience of previous conflicts, he allowed repressive mechanisms to be used after the end of the war, but we are now looking for these mechanisms precisely during the period of active actions as well for others, the mechanisms are confiscation in connection with non-compliance with the sanctions regime, that is, i am very grateful to our american colleagues and the european english lawyer who refused to serve of russian clients and this really has a practical, very cool effect for us because the russians, well, not only political circles, but business circles, they lost the support of their lawyers who could

use their knowledge for the benefit of the russians, but they use it for the benefit of ukraine, thank you very much you for the interview and today, ukraine, i apologize for the small technical delay, we continue our release, we talk about the cultural component and uh, today we know that the most popular american streaming service hbo will happen soon the premiere of the documentary film chernobyl lost tapes, the basis of the plot was the discovery of unique video tapes from the chernobyl tragedy in the kyiv archives, as well as private footage that the authors never showed to the general public . the director and producer of the film, the titular british documentarian james jones, was able to collect the exclusive. our khrystyna shevchenko spoke with him. -e невидимый отлетаем обочнее i think that this is

now how will i deal with the most terrible nuclear accident of all time that has been lying on the shelves for 36 years and in the drawers i finally saw the light of valuable films with documented details of the liquidation of the fire at the chernobyl nuclear power plant and also the life of ordinary residents in the days of the tragedy. the british documentary maker, winner of the emmy award in the documentary category, james johnsonfest, managed to find. i went to kyiv and one of my first meetings was at the cinema house. met people who had about 30 hours of footage mostly about the liquidation i sat with them and watched that footage and it was amazing because it wasn't just news in the movie we i saw footage of liquidators every day, for example, on these footage, the liquidators tell how in moscow they said that

150 g of vodka would be given out every day to prevent radiation, and on these children who are playing on the street above the playgrounds, at that time white flashes from radiation appear in the footage and the most unique find is a video of a young conscript, a film school student, who was sent to film the cleanup of the consequences of the accident. it is unusual that he saved his footage until the last. very beautiful footage looks like a feature film. that's right amazingly, but he never showed them to anyone, not even to friends, not even to colleagues, although all the time he continued to work as a cinematographer, he is currently filming a drama in kyiv, and you know, unlike many of his colleagues who were filming in chernobyl at the time, he is still alive, he showed me small video clips and i was so shocked but you know there was a reason why he didn't share it earlier because it was obviously related to the trauma he went through also a large part of the film is about how the soviet authorities kept the tragedy quiet everyone

how they covered up and told people whose hair was literally falling out and who had cancer that it has nothing to do with radiation it 's just radio phobia it's just in your head you understand the same as gaslighting an entire nation the lies of the soviet government about chernobyl and putin 's lies about the war in ukraine have common roots, says the director if you can get away with lying and it becomes your way of governing, it is probably difficult to break this circle and there was probably a short moment when the soviet union collapsed and there was a feeling that there will be a free press and there will be a democracy with different parties and debate but putin just killed it and he turned back the clock in russia you know i think it's hard to know how many russians support the war but polls say it's more than 80%."

you can already watch the film james jones will come to kyiv at the end of july on the american media hbo to arrange a special screening of chernobyl lost tapes from los angeles khrystyna shevchenko bohdan shevchenko for voice of america ukraine announced the largest exchange of prisoners first of the full-scale war, 144 soldiers returned home, including 95 defenders of australia, and in order to show how mariupol changed after the russian invasion , a photo exhibition was opened in the ukrainian house in washington, and my colleague kateryna visited the exhibition with photos of the temporarily occupied city. the troops of the city of mariupol divided into two sections mariupol the peaceful and mariupol the heroic the exhibition was opened in the building of the ukrainian house in the american capital with this exhibition, we want to remind everyone once again

that russia is killing the best in order to bring home every ukrainian who is now in captivity and also to win. the pre-war photos were taken by the operator of a local tv channel, viktor dedov, who died on march 11 as a result of russian shelling. the photos were provided by him . natalya's wife, she was with her husband and their son when a russian projectile flew into the apartment and took the life of viktor's husband. it was not possible to bury her, so the field is blooming. and she is gray instead photo of the war period was taken by the press secretary of the azov regiment dmytro cossack callsign orest, then he ended up in russian captivity after the forced withdrawal of the ukrainian military and the azovstal plant , this exhibition and today's event are once again a reminder to all our partners here who are with

us that we need more weapons on the fact that we need more help on the fact that we need more sanctions on russia in order to shorten the time to victory netmuk ceo world centrol kitchen charity provides with food for people who suffered as a result of war and natural disasters and since march of this year has even been traveling in ukraine helping people who suffered from russian aggression. i spent most of the last four months traveling in ukraine. i entered ukraine for the first time on march 1. i traveled the country by car and train for a long time spent in the east, in particular in kharkiv and donetsk region, already with orest from timișoara, they will help americans see the reality that international correspondents cannot convey. we see a lot in the media about what is happening in ukraine, they show it all

in the local news although now it is a little less than it was possible before unfortunately, the works exhibited here are what international correspondents could not see, and therefore it is especially important to share these photos. the opening of the exhibition was timed to the constitution day of ukraine. it will be available for viewing within a month on we will finish our release thank you for being with us see you soon happily
