welcome to the broadcast of the program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america time and host ostap yarysh the united states announced a new military aid package for ukraine in the amount of 400 million dollars, which, in particular, included four more heimer installations and ammunition for them, now the total number of hammers that the united states transferred to ukraine is 12 installations were announced by the pentagon, and we will talk more about this with kateryna lisunova, who is joining us from the congress. what else was included in this new package of military aid from the united states of america, providing ukraine with new defense weapons in the total amount of

400 million dollars, in particular, it included, as you said, four new heimers installations and ammunition for them, as well as thousands of more artificial shells for 150 millimeter tactical artillery vehicles under belts, ammunition, counter battery systems, spare parts, etc., in general, this means that now the total number of gamers provided by the united states of america to ukraine is 12 to donetsk, and the total amount of defense aid for ukraine as of february 24 is currently 7.3 billion dollars. yesterday, katya also visited the american senator graham relinzi and richard blago montal. terrorist, what is the current situation with this resolution? when can we expect to vote for it?

blumenthal and his colleague, the republican alinzi graham, presented it on may 10, and already on june 23, the senate committee on international relations approved this resolution, which allows for further submission of this document to a vote in the senate. during this week, the congress did not have session and did not meet and will start its work already on monday, july 11. at the same time, this document is not currently in the schedule of hearings of the schedule of meetings. it is also worth noting that a similar resolution was also presented in the house of representatives on 12 may, and for such a call and such a resolution to be agreed upon in both chambers, it must be adopted by both the house of representatives and the senate, but at the same time, even if both chambers of the congress vote for this resolution, it will only be a political call to the state department to make such a recognition of russia as sponsoring terrorism because it is the

state department that has the last word. at least this is what she told us and emphasized in her commentary for the voice of america on 40 ukraine in the united states of america. oksana markarova offers to listen to her comment right now look, in fact, the decision to recognize russia as a state sponsor of terrorism is a decision of the state department, so we are very hopeful and we are working with our colleagues to convince them that this decision must be made and that it is very important to make it. of course, if congress expresses its point of view, this is additional political support for which we will also be very grateful for. at the same time, many analysts are wondering why ukraine needs such a recognition of russia as a state that sponsors terrorism, and some of them state that the sanctions that are imposed on states that sponsor terrorism have already been imposed on russia, and at the same time, the senators with whom i spoke claim that this will help put pressure on those states that continue to cooperate with russia, because then

they would cooperate with a state that sponsors terrorism, in addition, senators they emphasize that this should be a unilateral decision made only by washington, but other western countries should join this decision so that it is international and has more influence and also gives an opportunity strengthen sanctions at the same time for ukraine, such recognition is necessary at least in order to establish justice, the ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america, oksana markarova, told me about it directly, i suggest listening to her comment, we also advocate and ask to recognize russia as a state sponsor of terrorism for several reasons, firstly because it is true because this country is not just a sponsor of terrorism, it is a country that is a terrorist and a sponsor of terrorism; secondly, because america really is the leading country in imposing sanctions and on the involvement of our other partners in the sanctions, but when russia is recognized as a sponsor of terrorism, it will be a clear message not

only for our partners of the transatlantic unity of the european union, who already are currently discussing and moving as quickly as possible on sanctions. but it will be a message absolutely for everyone, this will be a message for all countries of the world that it is dangerous to work with this country. we have also analyzed the legal grounds and are sure that russia absolutely complies with all criteria, and therefore we very much ask our colleagues to include russia in this dishonorable list, and this is how it can be concluded that nato correctly declared itself during a visit to kyiv and upon its return to washington next week, we can expect that they will call the senate vote on this document vote on this resolution at the same time it will be quite a long process because everything will depend directly on the state we will carefully monitor the development of events thank you for your

inclusion i will remind you it was kateryna lisunova yaka the former prime minister of japan joined us from the us congress, so that schenzo died after an attack on him, a politician was shot twice during his speech in the city of narara, a suspect was detained by the police, president joe biden reacted to the death of the former prime minister of japan, saying that he was shocked and outraged and deeply saddened by the news of the killing of abhi shinzo is a tragedy for japan and everyone who knew him - said the american president also condemned the attack on beshinzo, ministers of the group of 20 gathered at the congress in indonesia, another issue discussed by the ministers was the russian war in ukraine and its consequences for the world economy , the ministers also emphasized that it is important to discuss and find a solution to the food crisis in the world that arose as a result of russia blocking the export of ukrainian grain in their speech in

indonesia, us secretary of state anthony blinking addressed the russians ukraine is not your country, its grain is not your grain - he said at the same time the head of the russian foreign ministry sergei lavrov decided ahead of time to leave the congress, a number of ministers refused to come to the dinner. where was he invited? i also participated with him in a joint photo session. the minister of foreign affairs of germany, elena barbox, stated this openly. i cannot stand next to someone who is simultaneously bombing ukraine and attacking children - she said, if we as a world community closed our eyes to russia's war of aggression against ukraine, it would also become a fatal signal for all the countries of this world that are smaller and have a larger neighbor, they would no longer be able to sleep well at night because they don't know if the world will stand up for them if they are attacked, that's why the vast majority of representatives at this g20 meeting made it clear that they stand up for international law and condemned russia's brutal war

as the biggest current threat, the appeal of all 19 countries to russia was very clear, this war must end, the minister of foreign affairs of germany, and ukraine needs help in the long term, the president of the osce parliamentary assembly said in an interview with voice of america margaret sedal, according to her, ukrainian youth are ready to rebuild ukraine and definitely see a future in their own country, see more ukration, the ukrainian delegation was there and it's very good, but hearing their stories about their experiences during the war and how this war is being waged hurts, really hurts and i hope that the russian delegation listens to our speeches online, because they should know what is happening in ukraine, it is not a discussion, it is not something like that, it is a war, an illegal war where people are suffering, it is a war crimes the european union supports ukraine the united states supports ukraine canada supports ukraine they

should be able to defend their country this is important, otherwise they won't be able to but obviously they also need humanitarian aid and that's why i'm grateful for the support but i think it's also important to look for a long-term perspective, what will be needed in the long term, young ukrainians see the future in their country, so they want to stand and rebuild their country and see the future, this is what we also need support, think about the future, the war in ukraine caused discussions in expert circles in the west about the possible potential use of limited nuclear weapons, although analysts agree that neither russia, nor the west, nor any other country will take such steps, but actively demonstrates its capabilities for such things, in fact, we have now there is also a plot of an isolaska from the balyasci military base, where training is regularly held in case of potential threats, and the voice of america correspondent

karla bab on a military fighter plane went up in the sky in alaska to see how the american air force trains, see the plot, the combat calculation works out the procedure for intercepting an intercontinental ballistic missile with a legend launched from the territory of north korea, the space-based radar picked up the missile launch and notified the command post, now the military must quickly confirm the information received using ground radar report system stable confirms object detection observes one object one object this part of the training has been declassified specifically for correspondents of the voice of america to demonstrate the effectiveness of the anti-missile defense mechanism here we are talking about 300 people protecting 300 million people according to major dave kim practicing actions in the event of a

missile attack is routine for those who live and work at this us space force base this year alone north korea conducted 16 of missile launches , including the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile in march, the last of which was recorded by this us base, we watch them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we see everything they do we we can't afford a mistake, the ground radar can track flying objects at a distance of up to 5000 km, but when intercontinental ballistic missiles fly closer to the target, they shoot down false targets to confuse the radars on the ground, to solve this problem, the government has developed a system worth one and a half billion dollars, this is a radar the long range missile attack warning station, or l-ardiar, according to officials, is the most advanced radar on the planet that can determine which object is the

warhead we want to hit, how to watch it video in 4k or what compared to watching a regular tv, but one tracking does not confirm the attack, the missile needs to be hit and destroyed, and we are able to do this, the lieutenant colonel through the stutz command of the anti-missile defense division at the ford grilly base in alaska, his group is responsible for 40 interceptor missiles capable of destroying intercontinental ballistic missiles ballistic missiles they are in bunkers deep underground we will see this threat if we are allowed to enter combat our weapons system will send mission plan for any number of missiles that we need, so these bunkers will open and the missiles will fly to the target, it is believed that the interceptor missiles are capable of hitting about 10 out of 19 targets, that is, their efficiency is approximately 53%. however , the expert of the center for strategic and international

studies, ayan williams, disagrees with this assessment , most of those failed tests were associated with early prototypes, now in service there are completely different models in essence. if we talk about modern interceptors, then during their test, only one of battle but in such mines recently built in alaska, interceptors of a new generation will be placed, all of them were built 21. this modernized version should enter combat duty around 2028. each interceptor missile will be equipped with many expressive elements to destroy the enemy warhead. we will be able to launch only one missile at a target instead of firing at many false targets amid the growing threat of a missile attack by north korea missile bases in alaska have become the front line of defense of the united states yuriy mamon karlabab

voice of america at the beginning of the war in 2014 volunteers began to help the ukrainian army after the full-scale invasion of russia their work intensified, the needs of the armed forces have also changed, now large funds are added to the aid collection for the ukrainian army yes and individual people with their own efforts, one of them serhiy from zaporizhzhia, who, together with other volunteers, has already handed over ten cars and other equipment to the front, will be continued by kateryna markova and viktor petrovych serhii volunteered at the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine, at first he helped with clothes and food, now he organizes cars for the front lines, i started with sausages, roughly speaking, that is, they just brought food there, and there were her socks, and well, everything, everything, but when they began to drive cars yes, they are

just delighted with the cars, that is, they are for them, well , this is, well, i am saying that the most important thing is what they need, and the more of them, the better, because they also all break down, because well, we will get new cars, they are there they broke down there, too. and where is there to repair, repair nowhere, that’s why it happens. what’s in the field ? they threw it away. when the car arrives, they’re very happy. they thank you. we are working along the way, we lost three cars, they broke down , that's why the car was really needed, this is how it turns out combat actions left, there are combat actions, where something was heard somewhere, something was seen, everything was covered the car either crashed somewhere or something else at any moment, anything can happen, i can’t say how and where we are going, but the situation

is such that in order to drive the car from europe to the front, it takes at least a week, says serhii, before sending the car, it undergoes a technical inspection and its they must be painted in pixel, it will take at least two days, but first you still need to find a car, it is not so easy, says serhiy. after all, at the beginning of the war in ukraine, the demand for used cars from europe increased, because of this, this one did not grow, but the assortment has decreased significantly, thousands of cars have been brought in. i'm already wondering where we all find mine there in this europe, because, well, as an example, if you go to there it's easy. well, two of these cars, well, one is green jeeps , one is green jeeps. there is nothing there except green jeeps, one hundred and there are also 20-30 disassembled jeeps,

the guys are repairing them. well, that’s 1,000. and maybe even tens of thousands if it’s taken all over the front. it’s a lot and all the cars are loaded with money. bought money for cars. serhiy collects from everyone who wants to help. they help. donors from abroad, in particular, for a car for a marine unit with the call sign spaniard, were collected from the orthopedics department of a hospital in the polish city of brzesko. i have been working in poland for the third year as a doctor. i have lived here for 4 years and since the beginning of the war, my colleagues have been very helpful, very supportive, very subotiv and as soon as i knew about the collection of funds for a car for the armed forces, i decided to ask if they would like to help, and all the doctors of the department responded and helped and in

this way collected this money, volunteering requires to sacrifice one's own time, strength and money, however, says serhiy, the gratitude of people who receive help causes him a certain addiction, it is also an addiction, and it is already impossible to give it up. there is a need for a tota , a need for a toto. i say serhiy and other volunteers have already delivered more than 10 vehicles to the front, along with bulletproof vests , walkie-talkies and other equipment. kateryna markova viktor petrovych for voice of america from zaporizhia, this
