the garden and those who killed ukrainians must be destroyed, well, it can’t be otherwise in this cruel world with such a cruel neighbor, er, who does not keep his word or has honor, it is not possible to act otherwise, in any case, thank you very much for being with us at last, i want to wish even though it's not about football right now, i want to wish success to dynamo kyiv, the domestic team will start in the champions league. and tomorrow i will be on the air and we will bless vorskla for the league for the european cup. let's watch news together. good evening. we are from ukraine. my name is hryhoriy shugalov, and today in the program, ukraine will receive four more salvo missile systems from the united states. this was announced at a meeting in the rammstein format. more weapons

, only two candidates for the seat of the prime minister of britain managed to change how the change of the head of the government will affect the support of ukraine, the russians hit kharkiv, three people died, among them a teenager, 13 years old, a man and a woman, more one woman was injured. this was reported in the regional center of emergency medical assistance. residents of kharkiv were again asked not to go out on the streets of the city without special need. at night, the russian army also shelled belohorivka in severodonetsk. significant water problems are reported even

to the afghan technical staff. more about the situation on the fronts i am joined by bbc correspondent victoria zhugan video let's start with kharkiv what is known about the shelling of the city and the consequences of this attack good in the evening, a couple of hours ago, blue lips, the head of the council, reported that kharkiv saltivka was shelled from a rocket salvo system, or death , or a hurricane, and as a result, we know that a teenage child and his 15-year-old older sister from the same family died now in in a very serious condition in the hospital, it is known that the injured people were standing at the public transport stop, but unfortunately for kharkiv oblast, this is not the only shelling, o blue lips reported that kharkiv oblast was shelled at night and during the day and night, for example with rockets chuguyivskyi rai district, and in the afternoon,

kharkiv and bogodukhivskyi districts were also attacked by the rsz, and i heard the figure that seven people were wounded, and in general, fighting is going on in the kharkiv region, and in the north and in the north-eastern and south-eastern directions, the armed forces of ukraine are repelling attempts by the russians to advance deep and we also know that now evacuation is not possible from the temporarily occupied territories in kharkiv oblast. well, i also want to ask about the events in another part of the country, the attack on the antoniv bridge in kherson oblast, what is its strategic importance really this issue becomes even more urgent when we heard that russia announced that it would go on camera and seize new territories, including kherson oblast, and the antonov bridge is indeed strategically important because it connects the left and right crossings of the dnieper, the left and right banks of kherson oblast, and this one of several

ways for the russians to transport ammunition between parts of the kherson region, respectively, it is important for the armed forces of ukraine to break philoscopic ties eh prevent the russians eh to build the integrity of these supplies eh now it is known that the bridge can continue to function, but nevertheless this strike was so important that , for example, even remote intelligence today noted the strategic importance of this strike and called this strike and this bridge that it may become a key in the old as a result of hostilities in the kherson region the main thing today, the intelligence service announced that ukraine is already demining zmiiny island, how far are the positions there now safe for the ukrainian army, how far does it generally secure the country from the south of the permit

but the armed forces of ukraine have been dealing with snake island for some time, on july 7 we learned that they had completed the clearing of this island and then destroyed about 30 pieces of equipment that were there. well, now they are engaged in demining, what does this tell us about the island serpentine is a piece of land in the black sea that is strategically important for both sides of the conflict, but the nature of this small piece of land is such that it is easier to capture it than to hold it. why is it because there is such a small area there little thing it is not impossible to deploy an army and weapons somewhere far away on it. that is, there is no place to hide there, there are no natural or artificial structures of any kind anywhere that the military could look, and this is a problem

that the russians also faced when they occupied the serpentine and now for the ukrainian army it would be the same problem, moreover, because of this feature, in particular, it is quite easy to fire from self-propelled howitzers and salvo missile systems, and anti-aircraft missile defense does not work very well against them, although zmiiny island is exactly that territory on which it would be good to deploy anti-aircraft defense in order to secure the northern part of the black sea. thank you bbc correspondent victoria zhogan for the latest news from the fronts. the us defense minister aloye still does not believe that russia's war against ukraine is now at a critical stage of this word and support for the event will play a role the important role of this was announced by autumn on wednesday before the start of the 4th meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine, it also became known that the united states is providing ukraine with four more highs salvo missile systems together

with the latest receipts over the past two months, in total there should already be 16 such systems in ukraine, the last time the united states announced the transfer of another batch of hummers to ukraine on the ninth of july, in addition, ukraine has already received a certain number of similar m-270 systems, they are already significantly changing the situation on the fronts he noted that the united states has committed to providing security assistance for more than two billion 600 million dollars and moscow is very nervous about the presence on the front from the ukrainian side of high-precision western equipment ukraine says new urgent deliveries of long-range long-range artillery and other weapons are needed, the country has already received a lot of military equipment from more than 30 countries of the world, but the russians are still significantly superior in the number of weapons from donbas bbc correspondent jonathan on the ukrainian eastern front they are going to strike

russian positions this time with the use of howitzers and ammunition from the usa, ukraine has fewer weapons than its opponent and these weapons help but can not remain in place, such western weapons gave ukraine has the advantage of accuracy and a longer range, but it has also become an important target for russia, which is trying to hunt for it, they are ready to move quickly so as not to become a target of the palace, the car just now . now we are in another one, this time they

missed, the howitzers are moving away we are also retreating under the cover of the forest overhead, we noticed a russian reconnaissance drone - the artillery commander tells us that the russians regularly aim at them because of their western weapons, because they are accurate and effective, he says, positions in ukraine also have to study the western way of waging war, the emphasis on accuracy, the appearance of these weapons is indicated by the american himars missile launcher in ukraine, there are not many of them, but they can hit targets at a distance, but this creates huge logistical problems problems, now ukraine has to take care of dozens of weapons from dozens of countries, such as armored vehicles from britain, each type of weapon requires separate training and spare parts in addition

the weapons supplied by the west involve the use of ammunition of various calibers like these german self-propelled guns do you have enough ammunition for these weapons yes can you say how much ammunition you have for each of these weapons but a lot of shells for all the russians the west still claims that it is not directly involved in this conflict, but in fact now it is an integral part of the ukrainian military machine, the wife of the president of ukraine, olena zelenskyi , is visiting washington, a trip at the invitation of the first lady of the united states, jil biden, and this is kind of the visit is a response to a trip to ukraine, and i will remind the first lady of the usa that mr. biden visited ukraine in may , now it is my turn to speak in the usa about ukrainian needs, zelenska said at the beginning of the visit, in the

protocol photos released by zelenskyi's press service, zelenskyi's blue shoes catch the eye and biden's yellow shoes, the first lady also held meetings with the us secretary of state winken and stated his position that the quote independent ukraine will exist much longer than putin remains unchanged zelenska also visited memorial to the victims of the holodomor, there we met with representatives of the ukrainian community, and now i am asking for something that i would never want to ask for. i am asking you for weapons, weapons, not to wage war on foreign land, but to protect my home and the right to wake up alive in it. i am asking you against air defense, so that rockets do not kill children in their strollers, so that

they do not destroy children's rooms and entire families . this will be our joint great victory and kateryna lisonova, a correspondent of the ukrainian editorial office, joins the broadcast from washington, voted for america. congratulations to kateryna, and usually the role of the first lady is to take care of humanitarian issues, but what is more in the current visit of zelensky to the united states, politics or humanitarian issues kateryna, can you barely hear me and unfortunately we lost touch with washington and let's move on to another topic, russia

named a new goal in ukraine, now it is not only the self-proclamation of the dpr and lpr within the donetsk and luhansk oblasts of ukraine and a number of other territories, the minister of foreign affairs of russia lavrov announced in an interview with a russian newspaper. lavrov threatened that if western countries continue to supply ukraine with long-range weapons, the geographical tasks of the russian military will expand . territories like the annexation of crimea , will the allies be able to help kyiv prevent this scenario from happening, my colleague natalka skorhenko spoke with the british military expert ex-commander of the combined forces of the united kingdom, general richard burns , there are not many places in the world where putin can go after he started a war against

ukraine, for the kremlin, the tehran summit was obviously an attempt to show that he still has important allies and geopolitical influence but did this visit not prove the isolation of putin and russia? russia has been moving away from the west for about 100 years, but this does not mean that it is isolated from the rest of the world. russia has friends of iran, one of them is china, but i many countries that are still undecided are sitting on the fence, as they say, when it comes to the confrontation between the west and russia. therefore, the visit showed that russia is increasingly isolated from the west, but it is not isolated from the rest of the world. putin is seeking the lifting of sanctions in exchange for unblocking the export of ukrainian grain . this was announced at a meeting with the president of turkey by artagon or the

west . southern concessions. the west will support a third party that is trying to do this, such as turkey, and will continue to look for alternative ways of transporting grain, but the west is not going to give up the pressure on russia, and we must admit that russia can starve people in africa, which has nothing to do with this war, and so exactly russia is responsible for what to do with it, according to western intelligence, russia plans to annex a large part of ukraine according to the crimean scenario, its targets are kherson and zaporizhzhia as well from donetsk, luhansk region, how can the west help ukraine to thwart these plans, in my opinion, first of all, it is necessary to clearly predict that russia really intends to annex almost 25% of the territory of ukraine that it currently occupies, and even more

if it succeeds in order to show a certain purpose to this senseless and terrible invasion from the point of view of the western countries, all they can do now is to help the ukrainians in their struggle to regain the territory they are losing and to continue the pressure on russia politically, economically, culturally by any other means to ensure that the price of this annexation is unacceptable for the russian people. the united states has already warned that it will punish russia with additional sanctions for its attempts to further annex ukrainian territory and will provide additional security assistance to the country in relation to britain. will a change of leadership here mean a change in the level of support of the united kingdom in ukraine? to speak for a british leader we don't have one yet but i see no sign from any of the leadership candidates or anyone in parliament or government that

the united kingdom is somehow going to reduce the support it currently provides to ukraine. it is now quite clear that this war will last a very long time, in a certain way it will be exhausted with the onset of autumn and the transition to winter. occupied ukraine will realize that now it is very difficult for it to return the territories, therefore it can be expected that ukraine will mobilize its will and its people and with financial support and thanks to weapons and the west will create the offensive potential to regain its territory, i don't think it will be possible to do it before a year or even a year after this, as it seems to me that the war will last a very long time, it is a very big war and i cannot but share in tehran putin himself got into trouble, which he often arranged

for others of political leaders, the turkish leader erdoğan was almost a minute late for the meeting, he made putin wait in front of the television cameras, he didn't just make him wait later, his press service distributed this video, let's watch it, here it is on the screens, putin enters the room, this is usually a protocol part of the meeting, and a very uncomfortable and unusual situation arises for the russian pocket or situation. he is definitely not used to waiting for a pause. putin shifts from foot to foot, looks then down, then tries not to look into the lenses of the tv cameras, and as you can see from the expression on his face, he feels very comfortable, all this lasts for almost a minute until the rainbow himself appears in the room, it must be said that making colleagues wait at negotiations is a manifestation of disrespect in politics, and the president of russia himself often resorted to such a step and now we will try

to return to washington and add kateryna lisunova, a correspondent of the ukrainian editorial office of the voice of america, to the air again. we will talk about the visit of the first lady of ukraine to the united states . kateryna is the second attempt. it is usually the role of the first lady to take care of humanitarian issues, but in the current visit of zelenska to washington, what more politics or humanitarian issues, we were not present, we do not know what happened in the closed in the regime of open political statements , it can be clearly said that this visit is more political and is mainly based on defensive armaments in the sense of open political opposition

to the russian federation. one of the main examples of why this is a more political visit of the first leon of ukraine is the fact that the first visit is olena zelenskyi had a visit to the department and talks with the head of the state department, anthony blinkeny , and i was not typical. it was not an immediate meeting with bees biden from the first leyte resident of the brand or from the ukrainian community, which could have happened in a more peaceful situation, but immediately on monday, the first visit of the first lady of ukraine was precisely to the state department, where she directly called for a peaceful situation, but immediately understood russia as a state which sponsors terrorism which is at home exactly answers this question and despite the fact that the congress is trying to strengthen calls to the same parliament and to the biden administration, it is to do responsibility and in general, the function of eh lies

precisely at the state department regarding the recognition of russia as a state that sponsors terrorism and in the administration of biden to do this even during further meetings with elena zelenska without previous bees. during the negotiations, i am always the representative of the united states of america about the un, he gave tomos grinsel, which clearly emphasizes the fact that the curtains to biden and was also present during the volume and on the defensive three mostly more than humanitarian, although humanitarian issues, as you know, when they were raised and in particular the question of how to help ukraine overcome psychological traumas of ukrainians related to the war, and she directly spoke about it and emphasized this, also childing raised the question of helping ukraine for the first time. katerynovych, i have some specific results of the visit that we can already name, you can emphasize to yourself

from the fact that the first lady directly stated that she demanded the issuance of greater defense weapons for she demanded that ukraine recognize uh, well, you can underline, uh, it supports terrorism, and i spoke directly with the senators. after yelena zelenska's speech, they told me directly, and republican senator lindsey graham directly said that two things need to be done in 2022: to recognize russia as an average country they told me to tell directly about the provision of defensive weapons for ukraine, let me remind you that in the forest graham, a republican, as well as senator blumenthal, a democrat, were co-authors of the resolution on recognizing russia as a country which structures terrorism in the senate and directly this resolution has already been agreed in the senate committee on international reconstruction by the authors is actually waiting now to be put to a vote in the senate but

also it must be approved as known by the panel of representatives so that the congress in a joint statement called on the state department to do this the recognition of russia as a state sponsoring e-terrorism but as i already said in the previous question , the responsible statement called by the state department e-e lies entirely with the state department of the united states of the united states of america, but here it is worth noting that oksana markarova, the service of ukraine of the united states of america, directly pointed out to me in the comments, she says that this recognition is necessary for ukraine, at least, so that there is no question of comments, the service of the united states is at least support for terrorism, at least yes oksana markarova , ukraine's ambassador to the united states, said this in her comments for the voice of america, but also what do you and ukrainian diplomats emphasize, that such recognition will help increase pressure on other states that

cooperate with russia, because in such a case they also why they were cooperating with a state that sponsors terrorism in one word - this visit raised the appeals of olena zelenskyi and the speech in front of the contrast raised issues that were already discussed in ukrainian society, which were already connected to america, but in fact became a new call to action. thank you for washington correspondent of the ukrainian editorial office of voice of america, kateryna lisunova, today the connection across the atlantic is not very reliable for some reason, but the main thing is that we heard and now let's look at the political life in great britain alone of kyiv's closest allies. prime minister johnson, i remind you, has to give up his seat to his successor, and the circle of the next contenders has narrowed down to two. so, who will be the next great friend of ukraine

? and london, a-ah, a promising jaffer congratulations to the finalists of the race for the prime minister and party chair. congratulations to hrytsya so a-ah speckle in great britain. as you can see, they are almost over , but what can you say about vesinster where today the names of the two candidates for the post of prime minister of this country became known after the resignation of the leader of the conservative party . of candidates is ricci sumnak and listras let's talk about them a little less often tsunami he is the leader of the parliamentary parliamentary parliamentary voting and until recently he was the minister of finance

resigned together with another minister and thereby launched an avalanche of resignations in the government that forced boris johnson to leave two days before him , there is some criticism in british society, especially after it became known that his wife did not pay taxes on money earned outside great britain, although she had this is to do like others who live in the united kingdom in all intrapassionate votes he always took the first position as and today he got the majority of votes 137 and his main mission is as he says to solve the problem with inflation in relation to ukraine, he said that he would double the efforts of great britain and strengthen the support of the total support of ukraine and the second candidate is very well known in ukraine, this is the current minister of foreign affairs of great britain, listras, she received less votes than sunak, she collected 113, ukraine, ms. tras supported

the russian invasion from the very beginning, called on the international community to continue pressuring russia , calling the war a struggle for freedom and democracy not only of ukraine, but also of all of europe and even supported investing in the reconstruction of ukraine, the russian assets that are in great britain jeffar, when exactly will the winner of this be determined, when he will take over from johnson, this is the key moment, now between the two candidates, all members of the conservative party throughout the country, and that is almost 160,000, will choose people will vote by mail until september 2, the name of the winner of this vote, who will become the next prime minister of the country, we will find out on september 5, now the decision is that pike perch and forest tracks should go on such a tour to the country where they will talk about their plans for the position

of party leader, enlist the support of fellow party members, and finally, today, johnson made his last speech in parliament as prime minister, where every wednesday parliamentarians give questions to prime minister johnson was met with applause in his short speech, he did not forget to mention ukraine in his advice to his successor, first of all, stay close to the americans, stand up for the ukrainians, defend freedom and democracy everywhere , johnson also calculated his gains, said about his contribution during the pandemic and he noted that the last years i quote were the privilege of his life speakers we transformed our democracy and as my dear friends say restored national independence we persevered i helped this country get through

the pandemic and helped save another country from barbarism and frankly enough has been done to go mission basically accomplished for now i want to thank you n speakers i want to thank all the workers thank all my friends and colleagues i want to thank my position and n speaker i want to thank everyone present how did you hear your speech from ended with a very famous phrase from the movie terminator, but there is another phrase known alback also from the movie, i.e. i will return what i wanted with what i wanted to say what i wanted to say with this johnson was unclear but understood the only thing that and he will be in
