war in washington called it a significant gain for kyiv and a serious defeat for moscow, because russia needed the island to block one of the sea routes to odesa. meanwhile, in madrid , the last day of the meeting, which many have already called historic, ended precisely when the leaders of the united states and great britain announced the granting new deliveries of military aid to ukraine, we will talk about this and other things with yulia yarmolenko and bohdan tsyupin, who are joining us from the white house and are therefore in madrid, colleagues, welcome to you, bohdan, we will start with you first of all let's figure out what is included in this new aid package from britain and we also heard announcements about new trends from other european countries ostap i think that on the last day of the madrid nato summit we need to emphasize that this was not a summit of aid to ukraine, it is about the future of the organization first of all, it was about how the 30 countries of this bloc will soon defend each other, 32 countries with sweden and finland

, that is, it was primarily about this, but it is obvious that when russia was officially recognized as a direct threat for nato and against the background of the russian war against ukraine, there was a lot of talk about ukraine, and for example , about military aid, the next part of british military aid was announced not here in london, not here in madrid, but first in london it was an official government announcement about a billion -e british pounds of military aid for this amount and first of all it was said that e this money will be spent on complex as in the message from london air defense systems e systems of electronic a-a warfare equipment for e of the military in ukraine, but not only britain, which, by the way, emphasizes and boasts that it provides the most aid to

ukraine after the united states, and not only britain took the opportunity to brag about its support for ukraine, for example, today about french aid to ukraine, french president emmanuel emphasized macron let's listen to his formats caesar we have provided 12 of them so far and there will be six more they are highly valued by the ukrainian army they are also one of the best guns when it comes to their range and effectiveness so it depends on the ukrainian army how these opportunities are used. i want to say that we will continue to provide support in the next weeks, six more artillery installations will arrive to yuli joe biden also announced plans to provide ukraine with the next package of military aid, what details did he reveal today yes missed the opportunity to say that it was the united states that rallied the whole world to

help ukraine, and in particular he announced that a new package would be announced in the next few days military aid in the amount of 800 million dollars, but if we talk about the unity of the world, he said in particular that it was on the initiative of lloyd osin that a contact group was created with the help of ukraine , the results of which at this time are already such that more than 50 countries have pledged to provide ukraine with military aid we are talking about hundreds of tanks, hundreds of artillery systems and many other necessary means, both supplies today, speaking also about this military aid, a new package from the united states, we know that even on the eve of of the summit, jake sullivan - this is the national security adviser, said that the united states in the new package from the united states will also provide for the latest powerful air defense systems in the medium and long-range and longer

range, and today, when president biden spoke to the press, he actually confirmed that there will be more details. let's hear from president biden directly. ukraine security office, we have provided almost $7 billion in security assistance to ukraine since i entered the post in the next few days we intend to announce more than 800 million more including an advanced western air defense system more artillery and ammunition counter battery radars additional ammunition for salvo fire systems haimas that we have already given to ukraine more himars will also come from other countries bohdan you already mentioned a little about the results of this summit at the ato , the final press conferences were held today, did you follow this closely, how in general nato assesses ukraine's ability to win this war today

several leaders of nato countries emphasized that, for example, the situation with snake island or the fact that ukraine succeeded in repelling the attack of russian troops on kyiv confirms ukraine's ability to defend itself and overcome the enemy today, and british prime minister boris johnson also announced that he believes in particular , british military aid, along with other aid packages from other countries, will help turn the tide of the war, as he said, but on the other hand, for example, the secretary general of nato jens stoltenberg, talking to journalists here in madrid today, emphasized that when it comes to ukraine, nato's task is twofold, the first is to support and help ukraine, but the second, he emphasized, is not to provoke an even bigger war in europe and the world.

here's how he said it said and the design and its main at the same time we also know that it could be worse because if this becomes a full-scale war between russia and nato then we will see suffering destruction death and destruction on a much larger scale than much much worse than what we see today in ukraine yuriy these thoughts we also hear from other leaders and in the usa there are also thoughts that russia's war in ukraine can drag on, how long is the usa ready to support ukraine, you know today president biden clearly said that they will help as much as it takes they asked if there is a limit or if there is a deadline, and it seems that at the moment we do not have a limit to this support, and you know bohdan already spoke about some of the theses voiced by boris johnson , he also said today at the press conference

what really is western aid and in particular rocket launcher systems they actually make a difference they change they help ukrainians to change the course of the war and in particular boris johnson said that in fact the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi he believes that ukraine can turn the tide of the war and the task of western countries is actually to help do this and johnson himself said that he actually believes in the possibility, through the power of the ukrainians , to push the russians to the position they were in before february 24. president biden today on at the press conference, he also spoke about the fact that western weapons really help ukrainians a lot, and ukrainians , in turn, are extremely brave and capable warriors, and today, in particular, he also cited as an example the achievements of ukrainians and the fact that ukrainians managed to push the russians out of snake island

and also he spoke about other important things. let's listen to today. literally today, the ukrainians recaptured zmiiny island. so we will stand with ukraine and all allies will be with ukraine as long as it takes to make sure that russia will not win and, by the way, think about it ukraine has already dealt russia a strong blow russia has in fact already lost its international status russia is in such a position that the whole world is watching and saying wait all these attempts you tried to capture the whole country tried to take kyiv you lost you tried to take donbass and you have not done this yet, the point is that we provide ukraine with capabilities, and they demonstrate impressive courage and continue to resist russian aggression. i don’t know how it will end. but russia does not

will win ukraine in ukraine bohdana, you had the opportunity to see more at this meeting of nato, madrid, you can watch everything from the front rows, of course, the issue of sweden, finland was important, but to what extent the issue of ukraine also dominated this summit ostape, at biden's press conference, i sat in about the third or in the fourth row, but it's a joke, i think it's interesting to beat like that from the point of view of a person who sat here and listened to the leaders of the nato countries convey to the ukrainians what was so common about ukraine nato is an international organization, but for example, when the president of the united states, joe biden, was talking about ukraine and international issues, he moved on to the guidance of american journalists who

asked him about the price of fuel and, in general, about problems with expensive with the standard of living in the united states and then he was even forced to talk about the problem with abortions in the united states and it is contained that this is a very interesting point that unlike such authoritarian autocracies of countries such as russia where to actually report to their voters , to be accountable to the people, western countries , nato countries are constantly forced to explain to their citizens why they spend billions of dollars or euros or pounds on military aid to ukraine, why this should be done, why fuel and food prices are rising. countries of europe and in particular i think that this opportunity of this nato summit and this attention of the mass media was

used in particular to explain to the countries to the citizens of the nato countries why it is necessary to help ukraine bohdana, thank you very much yuriy too thank you for your detailed analysis i will remind you it was yuliya yarmolenko and bohdan tsyupen who joined our broadcast and we continue our program with other topics emnost international researchers found out the details of the bombing of the mariupol drama theater an international human rights organization published another report dedicated to the war crimes of the russian army in ukraine my colleague iryna solomko spoke with the authors of this study as well as with eyewitnesses of the tragedy whose the evidence is included in the report more details this is the first such in-depth and multi-dimensional research on the war in ukraine says joan mariner head of investigations at amnesty international we used a number of different methodologies

to assess the weapons in finding those responsible for the assault causing harm in addition to our usual sources of witness statements we also commissioned a mathematical model buildings to be able to assess the damage we also relied on radar data on satellite images and her team experienced investigators but even they were lined with brutality of the attack as well as the object of the bombardment itself and this is so obvious a civilian building - it is a theater which in fact for weeks was a humanitarian center civilian vehicles civilian presence there was obvious even a superficial monitoring of the situation would demonstrate this mother and son nataliya and yevhen hrebinetsky eyewitnesses who gave testimony given to the investigators of amnesty international, the bombs that will skin the drama theater took the life of natalia's husband, yevgeny mykhailo khrebenytskyi, after the tragedy, the woman and her son walked from mariupol to zaporizhzhia for several days after the tragedy

they spent the night in the field, they say, when they found themselves on ukrainian territory, they immediately tried to record their testimonies so that we, as witnesses, would not go anywhere, because what is it like to see what we saw? could not leave the occupied territory, well, less information for other words, the family itself is from volnovakha yevhen has been working at azovstal for the past few years, on february 24, the parents left for mariupol to pick up their son and leave together for a safe place however, we did not have time to go this way to berdyansk, and the army, the russian army, was also coming. and we could have fallen into the same ring, so it was very dangerous to drive along

that route. hit the objects of the city's infrastructure, when the family heard that evacuation corridors to ukraine were being prepared and one of the assembly points was the drama theater, they went there, but there was no evacuation. therefore, the family, like hundreds of other residents of the city, remained in the drama theater to wait every day, they came, they came, one day we had about 1,000 people, it was convenient, they already closed the doors and people said, go to the second place , because there is no water, no food, no food, what should we get somewhere, where should we get it, only then did the guys come to the national police of teraborona from azov, let's say so , and it's already close, i don't know, after a couple of days , people came and gave humanitarian aid there

, the family spent 11 days in the drama theater building, evgeny and nataliya were in the auditorium at the time of the bomb fall , but mykhailo left a few minutes before that to the field kitchen, there were people born on the side from different sides, there were ceilings, that's why we were so lucky when the rocket hit us, well, nothing fell a little bit last year, my mother caught a little bit of it, here, uh, i co-serged against everything, i got a concussion, uh, i covered my head so that nothing would fall on my head, i quickly ran out, then i heard my mother gasping for fresh air. when she regained consciousness, they went together to look for my father. my grandfather was there alone.

well, i looked and i saw the hand of this father, and as you don't recognize your relatives, i started to dig up, and i already bought my father's vegetables there, and we still didn't know what kind of shelling it would be like. to run or what to run? what will help help mykhailo's body? yes, the family remained under the rubble. there is no information about his further fate. joan marin says their investigation showed that there could have been many more victims. there were humanitarian convoys the day before and even in the morning what allowed thousands and escape from the area and the people who were in the theater moved to safer and more protected places, which reduced the number of victims. the investigation, say the investigators, also showed that the drama theater had nothing to do with the military infrastructure. there

was a very small number of soldiers who sometimes visited people or brought supplies, but there was no military presence that would justify such an attack, the evidence indicates that it was a deliberate attack on civilians after the khrebenitsa managed to get to zaporizhzhia, they they called the hotline of the national police and reported the death of mykhailo, but no one contacted them. they are not ready to testify in court. they hope that the report of amnesty international will be able to help bring the criminals to justice. according to joan , the evidence collected by her team can be used in criminal investigations in some courts our investigation can be part of evidence for any investigation report as maps for work satellite photos we have shown before and after pictures can be used janta and the team continue their work. she is convinced that the war in ukraine is now shaping a new international

order in many ways, so it is important for the world to have objective and prompt information about what is happening. the next graduation, but everything changed on february 24, in two weeks, the school was destroyed by a russian projectile, the history of the school and its director natalia rovytska will be told by lesya bakalets if search for mariupol school number 66 in google, write the site as standard, working hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. saturday, sunday, because the last time students were here february 23 , february 24, i came to school, my deputies, technical staff came, we told all teachers and all students not to went to the school and with your deputies, you know how they hid all the technical documentation, all our

school documentation, our magazines, personal files and teachers' work books, we hid all our equipment, laptops, in storage, in safes, closed everything, put it like this, you know ok, well, i even made a little video, er, the last video at school, and i want to watch today a quiet, beautiful, ah, calm school. this is how our first day of the war began. when the principal natalya rovytska talks about the school, she seems to be talking about a loved one the pride of the city - the favorite of children and parents, this is our school. the school was after a major renovation, we worked for only four years. the school was very beautiful. the school was cool. it became dangerous in mariupol immediately after february 24, but at first natalia could walk from home and check if everything is okay with the school. the last time i was at school was march 9, march 10 in

the afternoon. parents who lived near the school came to me and told nataliya yuriivna not to go to school anymore. they showed me a photo or the school is not no, but there was a direct hit into the school and the school was destroyed, and then the city began to be shelled even harder. natalya, her husband, the dog athos and 26 other neighbors from the entrance sat in the basement of their house for several days, only going outside to warm themselves there food or cook something on the bonfire or on march 8 and 9 it snowed in the city of mariupol and we collected this snow and used this water from march 1, when the first projectile flew into the first

entrance of our house, we had three wounded people, they treated me when we left. hmm, we left the bomb shelter in the morning to see what was happening on the street . we saw that near our house there were a lot of destroyed houses, and the guys who were there now with us say that while our cars are still on the wheels, at least there is no e- eh plinth eh but they on wheels, they say that uh, let's sit down and we'll go, they didn't even have time to enter their apartment on the fourth floor, we left, what were we almost not going to, we just well, for example, we can, we had documents with us in our bags uh, we we took speed- from our bomb shelter, we took two pillows, blankets, a pan, i took some food

, how many potatoes, we had potatoes and an eggplant with water, so we left, and the kadirovs with automatic weapons stopped at our place. it was already evening, we stood with them e-e until the morning. it was in the street -7 well, it was very scary, but somewhere around seven in the morning they let us go only two weeks later, natalya found out that they left on time, the neighbor was able to call and he told me that their house is no longer there, we left somewhere at 10:00 in the morning, it was morning, and uh, somewhere at 3:00 p.m., two phosphorous bombs were hit at once, and our house was completely destroyed for three days. nut, this is an animal shelter, horror. this is your apartment , natalya. apparently, there was a bath here. and there was probably a bath here

. the kitchen is already safe. natalya was able to contact her native teachers and parents. students and almost immediately received a job offer in warsaw, where the nezlamna ukraine foundation opened the first ukrainian school and a director was needed at the school, well, first there were 13 students from mariupol and three students from my school are now starting their parade, the students of school 66 are now scattered around the world almost there is a connection with all of them, says natalya, but some were never able to leave mariupol. these ukrainian schools where our parents applied completely without any documents, without anything, accepted the children, the education was online and the children, er, finished the school year simply in other schools. we had 26 graduates. unfortunately

, a graduate of ours died on march 1 from an injury and graduated from school . that they didn't even think about, but teachers continue to work with 11th-graders online, preparing them for the final exam natalya asked parents to write a statement about the expulsion of their children from school 66 so far , parents have not dared to take such a step, says the director we all live only by what we we hope that we will be back." in the meantime

, the film bad roads was presented in hollywood to show the history of the ukrainian-russian war and also to raise funds for the victims of russian aggression . the director of the film nataliya vorozhbyt came to the screening and told khrystyna shevchenko at the saban theater that in beverly hills an elegant audience is gathered here, representatives of local authorities hollywood actors, members of the academy of motion picture arts and sciences, and ukrainian volunteers. on this day, the ukrainian film bad roads is shown here. the film is an adaptation of the 2017 play of the same name and describes the relations of ukrainians in the donbas against the background of the russian-ukrainian war in 2015. on the ground, the ukrainian oscar committee nominated the film bad roads as a contender from ukraine for the 2022 oscar, but the film did not make it to the shortlist of the film academy, but the film found its way out of the way of the

hollywood film producers group with the support the consulate general of ukraine in california and the ukrainian cultural center organized a screening to raise funds for the needs of ukraine. one of the authors of the film says that they could not refuse to accept the invitation. i have seen this film many times, but it was very important for me to be there in general and see people's reactions. five novels in which the themes of death, violence, rape and love are revealed and all this is in donbas. there is a story between this girl and her terrorist accuser in this basement. i see it as a metaphor for the relationship between ukraine and russia. when ukraine seems to pretend that it loves its offender, looking for mo. to finally get rid of the agency background, the film is extremely powerful , but what can war do to people and what do people do to them ? capable under certain circumstances, after the screening, the audience

had the opportunity to talk with the authors of the film, in particular, with the director natalya vorozhbyt natalya is known for her scripts for the film cyborgs of the tv series to catch the bad roads for the first time as a director for her, she says at the venice festival in 2020. he only received the film critics award before that european circles did not recognize the war, they considered the italians to be too anti-russian and anti-russian, and it upset them, well, first of all, no one has understood in these 8 years. no one openly wanted to go to the conflict with russia and to this day part of the world avoids it and is afraid of it, especially then, i remember all these eight years, the producers on the ground asked me not to use the word war when talking about my film. they said that we should say conflict , because this war has no official name of my status, it's terrible, they were outraged, they said, ask the children of

people who survived the bombing and the war, ask them that they survived the war or the conflict, all the funds collected from the show in beverly hills will go to help the residents of the city of marinka in donetsk region there left of 100 thousand, yes, of 10,000, one and a half thousand people are left, they are simply killed there because they are in the gray zone, they simply do not have food , they do not have keys, water, medicine, there are five hospitals, they are all bombed, there are no houses , the authors of the film are bad roads, they hope that the tape will be seen in other american cities and other countries of the world, in their opinion, it will help foreigners understand when exactly russia attacked ukraine from beverly hills. were with us, i wish you a peaceful night and a calm morning, see you in zaporizhzhia region

, one of them is 16-year-old vladislav buryak, and it is already known that the russian military is involved in this terrible story . on april 8, vlad buryak was evacuated from melitopol to zaporizhzhia. where does he live and work? father, it was still a short drive to the territory under the control of ukraine, but in the city of vasylivka, the car where vlad was driving with other refugees was stopped by the russian military , and they started checking the documents. they determined who his father was when they realized who his father was, they realized what the price of the hostage was, the russians found out that the boy's father was oleg buryak, the head of the zaporozhye district state administration, the occupiers immediately took the child hostage, oleg told us without exaggeration the terrible details of his son's stay in captivity for 48 days uh, in the investigator and rescuer in a solitary cell 2x3-6 48 acres

of ponds almost immediately after the abduction, the russians called mr. oleg and voiced their demands . the man called me back and offered he says that he is ready to exchange your son for a person who is in ukraine, a full- fledged citizen of ukraine, and although the occupiers sometimes give the father the opportunity to communicate with his son by phone, they allegedly do not use physical force on him because of what he experienced, the boy started having health problems today, his blood pressure was 180 by 50 or 60
