calls on the american president to inform congress to provide information about andriy yarmak and to confirm or deny the accusations against him, as well as to inform members of congress about how military aid to kyiv is monitored . this conflict is bound to provide the american people with a level of due diligence and accountability to ensure that our aid does not fall into the wrong hands people, and ukraine urgently needs an increase in the level and speed of security assistance from your administration, which, unfortunately, is not happening. ostapa, how do they react to these statements in ukraine? in the ukrainian foreign ministry, oleg nikolenko is the spokesperson of the department, he published a statement. and you said that ukraine is grateful to the united states for the amount of support provided by washington, but in his opinion, the statements of victoria spartaz contrast with the

amount of aid and the level of support provided by the united states. oleg nikolenko said that no there is no need to involve ukraine in american politics. there is no need to promote classic russian narratives. i want to use a fragment of his address so as not to distort it, to be accurate. he says that the ukrainian side is as open as possible to interaction with american partners, providing comprehensive information about the use of technology, further bureaucratization and prolongation of the process, which is obvious and wants victoria sparks says spokesman oleg nikolenko will only contribute to the further advancement of the russian invaders natalya ostapa usa is one of the largest of ukraine's helpers in its fight against russian aggression, and we know that ukraine has strong bipartisan support in congress, legislators from both the republican and democratic parties have repeatedly assured this . viewers that the statement of victoria

sparks is not a statement from the american government, it is not a statement from the us congress, it is not even a statement from any party, it is a statement from a specific congressman which addresses the concerns that she has regarding the support of a-a whether in the congress or in the administration, then we know that indeed there is strong bipartisan support in ukraine if we are talking about the majority of the actual congressmen or senators if we are talking about the us administration, we talked about it ourselves legislators repeatedly spoke about this from joe biding and anthony blinken and the head of the pentagon in the fall about the fact that the united states will be with ukraine as long as it is necessary. the united states will be with ukraine until the victorious end after the statements that we saw from victoria sparz. her statement was made by the half-chair of the

ukrainian support group in the congress. those issues , including those raised by victoria sparks, say that when some members of the congress can promote some of their narratives or messages, the support of the congress of ukraine and the support of the ukrainian government as a whole now, natalya remains steadfast against russian aggression. let's hear what marsicaptor said. in its address, the us congress, led by the ukraine support group in the congress, on a predominantly bipartisan basis, advocated support for sovereign ukraine in its heroic efforts to protect the homeland and end russia's brutal war, although some members of congress may seek to sow division and inflame tensions in general , the united states congress firmly supports president zelenskyi and his leadership so far ukraine is fighting for its survival. those who spread wild narratives aimed at undermining ukrainian officials during the war are irresponsibly helping putin and his propagandists. thank you

ostap for your explanation. in germany, one of the turbines of the nord stream was repaired, the spokesman of the state department said about this on monday. he noted that in the short term this will allow in europe should replenish its energy reserves, increase its energy security and resist russia's efforts to use energy as a weapon. at the same time, the greek noted that the us and its allies continue to look for ways to reduce the russian federation's income from energy sources and expressed ukraine's support for the transportation of gas through the nord stream 1 pipeline from russia to germany will be stopped. from july 11 to 21, this is provided for by the annual maintenance of the gas generator, however, europeans fear that the ten-day

break in gas supply may be extended the kremlin, which in the past has repeatedly used energy supply for political pressure on the development of the situation around the nord stream, one is following our european correspondent bohdan tsyupan, we are starting the details with him right now, he is joining us with london. greetings, bohdan, good evening. so, bohdan, what is the position of the european leaders regarding the use of the nord stream ? one for the delivery of russian gas to europe, because on the one hand we have a strict sanctions policy against russia due to the war in ukraine, and on the other the willingness of europeans to buy from russia's gas i think it is appropriate to remind here that nord stream is one of the most important gas pipelines that supply gas to europe, it runs along the bottom of the baltic sea from russia to

germany, and it is also worth reminding that nord stream 2, despite the fact that it has already been built and was ready for use, this project was closed by germany after the start of the russian invasion of ukraine in february, but despite the fact that the europeans constantly emphasize that they want to reduce the use of russian energy carriers by the end of this year, eu countries most of them refuse to use e- oil and petroleum products within the limits of sanctions against russia, but when it comes to gas, since so many countries depend on military gas, in general, the countries of the european union receive about 40% of e- gas imports from russia, so they believe that such countries to refuse or stop using russian

gas immediately and it would be very problematic and this is, for example, what is heard from such experts as the german analyst whose quote i took to illustrate our conversation, then we will get a tough recession, it meant a 5% drop in the economy. it could be compared to the recession we experienced during the financial and economic crisis of 2008-9. so this definitely shook the german economy a lot, the spokesman for the state department is working with european partners to collectively reduce dependence on russian energy resources and maintain pressure on president putin bohdan who at the moment, the prospects for europe's complete rejection of the use of russian energy carriers, we know it will be a gradual process, how it will happen, it will be a gradual process

but currently, due to the fact that energy prices have risen so sharply, and this has such an effect on the economic situation in europe and in other countries of the world, europeans are now focused on reducing the economic impact of this dependence on energy sources, the cost of which is so is growing strongly, and today the head and representative of brussels, the deputy head of the european commission, made a statement about it. it is worth saying that the main factor in inflation is energy prices, fossil fuel prices, but we also see high food prices and chain breaks supply so it is obvious that when we discuss energy prices, a lot of effort is needed in various sectors of the economy in strengthening energy supply,

energy security, diversification, especially from russian fossil fuels, accelerating the development of renewable energy sources, because we see that high energy prices are spreading to the rest of the economy and inflation is increasing, actions are needed of the european central bank and the bank will consider it at the meeting of the governing council next week. therefore, we need to correctly combine the various levers of humanitarian policy and also maintain an appropriate balance for the fiscal policy, can these problems mentioned by the official affect the level of european support for ukraine in the war with russia, they certainly can and probably already have an effect, and in particular, when he is an observer, a commentator who follows politics, in particular, the policy of europe in relation to ukraine, when previously there were many talked about the so-called in that from ukraine

that they say that the europeans will not be able to focus on the war and help ukraine for a long time, now there is a lot of talk about the fact that the economic problems can become the pressure under the influence of which european leaders may be forced or find themselves under the pressure of their own population to change their policies or at least explain why, for example, the countries of the european union or the eu in general can allocate military aid or financial aid while in ukraine, while their citizens suffer from such problems, inflation and rising prices for fuel and even for food, well, it is entirely

an american analytical center, a research institute, he does not believe that the ukrainian forces may be preparing a counteroffensive for the liberation of kherson , the research organization writes about this on its website. meanwhile, in search of salvation from the russian war, they continue to try ukrainians to the united states. and for dudnyk, she left kherson with two children a month and a half after the occupation by russian troops entered the city the elderly parents and the husband remain the most anna is afraid that the russians will begin the forced mobilization of ukrainian men how a ukrainian family tries to save itself from the war will be told by kateryna lisova the happy and peaceful life of a family of pipers from kherson after february 24 was replaced by raw basements and machine-gun fire. it was as if panic was panic.

fear when we were sitting in the basement and the russian military was entering the city. i am sitting in this basement with my children. and all around us are bombardments, shelling , automatic lines just into the yard. i was very afraid. i was afraid. i was most afraid that the basement would simply crumble and fall apart in such conditions. they existed for a month and a half. the most terrible thing is that no one will protect you, the military they can do whatever they want to you, enter your house and take everything they want, even take your husband, take him somewhere and kill him. and for that they will have nothing. we lived for more than a month in complete lawless anarchy, unruly horses and unruly narchia, but as anna tells us, the kherson people even during the occupation, they tried to defend their right to be ukrainians, but here we have the main square , armored personnel carriers are standing in our main square, their tanks are standing with machine guns, and people were leaving without

weapons, just with posters and flags of ukraine then they started to disperse them with smoke grenades, because the demonstrators became more and more and more thousands came to the square, nobody likes it when they tell you that your country does not exist, that the nation of ukrainians does not exist , and that your language is also not clear. maksym shuddered at the slightest noise after much thought. anna and her husband decided that she and her children should leave ukraine. her husband and old parents stayed at home in kherson. here are the documents, things, careful documents and pray that they will let you through, you have to go through 8 or 10 checkpoints of the russian military with machine guns, they check the car, the passport of the men can be stripped, they check the phones for the presence of ukrainian correspondence or photos that you might not like, dignified, when they don’t let you in at all, there

were cases when they fired at cars demonstratively, they could fire at them to show they say don't go we don't allow to show no go i'm allowed they traveled halfway around the world before getting to california just like thousands of other refugees from ukraine who came to the united states under a special program, you need to start your life from scratch, you need to find a plate and a spoon, because you don't even have that and you are nobody , you are completely dependent on the kindness and generosity of people. i am 43 years old, i have always been independent, i have been working for 20 years a teacher at a university, according to official data in california, it takes 6-9 months to wait for a work permit for ukrainians who arrived, and two years is an unrealistic term at the moment. anna is most afraid that the russian army will start forced mobilization of people in kherson of course i am

worried, of course i am worried, my husband supports ukraine and does not want to fight against his own people, he says that if they mobilize, he will shoot himself in the leg every time i talk to my mother, she repeats thank god that you do not have everything that happens there, it is much more correct there i was worried very much zarodnye for my relatives for my grandfather for my grandmother dad the war changed their lives completely, anna says in the afternoon they are trying to arrange their new house from the rent, which is being helped by friends and dealing with documents, but at night they pray for their relatives who remained in ukraine kateryna lisonova angelinov desaryans kostyantyn golubchyk voice of america the city of bucha witnessed the most terrible scenes of russian aggression a photo of six-year-old vlad standing next to his mother's grave in the yard of his house went around the world vlada's mother marina naumets died when
