people on the verge of starvation, this initiative must be fully implemented because the world so desperately needs it to overcome the global food crisis, we count on the turkish government to continue to play an important role in the future and i want to testify here to the absolute commitment of the un yura also reacted in the united states to the signing of these two agreements, they said that they really welcome such a step, but the success of these agreements will depend on how russia will adhere to and fulfill them, and will also depend on real implementation this is about whether russia will eventually unblock ukrainian ports, yuli said today, john kerby, the representative of the national security council of the united states, ostapa white, today announced another package of military aid to ukraine, which we already announced at the beginning, tell us more about what it includes indeed, i see a lot of speculation in the ukrainian media or in social networks about this incorrect

information. it is important to clarify. so, today announced a package amount of 270 million us dollars there are four heimers rocket launchers, an additional four in addition to the 12 that were already provided earlier, as well as ammunition for them, in addition , 36,000 shells for artillery and anti-tank weapons and 580 phoenix goldsa drones, drones that are perfectly suited to the needs of the ukrainian army, are placed there time, in particular, for the needs of the war in the east of ukraine, because these drones are designed specifically for the plains of the landscape, and let me remind you that with this package, the amount of aid from the united states since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of yulia has already exceeded 8 billion dollars, then we expect that there will be more aid, there will be more new pa ostap in ukraine, we are grateful for the weapons, but they say that more is needed, in particular, minister resnikov says that for effective defense, we need 50 himers and 100 for counter-offensives, and today i am just at this briefing asked john kirby, however, how

much the usa is willing to provide as much as possible and whether they are considering the possibility of providing missiles with a longer range. he said that he did not want to get ahead of the future announcement, but he assured that washington and kyiv in constant contact that they still know the needs and are ready to provide additional capacity depending on the course of the war, he said that we are ready to change the composition of these new packages of military aid as needed in order to best respond to the needs of the ukrainian military ostap, and what about american fighter jets, is the administration considering the possibility of providing such capabilities to the ukrainians , so yulia, i would like to add to the first part of your question about the kyoton kemerz provided by the united states and other partners with john kir from today also said that in general ukraine already has more than 20 such installations, including the 16 announced by the united states and also other e-missile installations e-e mlrs as they are called or rocket salvo fire systems from other that is, there are more than 20 countries with regard to airplanes

. yuliu really also said this and it is very important, this communication about the fact that the united states is really considering a training program in the future and the potential provision of american planes to ukraine, but he emphasized that it is also very important to understand what is to be found about the short-term perspective, it is rather a perspective for the future because ukrainian pilots must first learn to train on these planes and these systems are not simple, said john the hedgehog, it is necessary to take into account the fact that they have modern radars, modern weapons, and ground communications with this planes , that is, a very large amount of work and training needs to be done, so the united states is potentially considering helping ukraine to switch to such planes, america is not soviet, it is it is also very important, john kirby emphasized. but again , he says that in the near future this should not be expected - this is what the united states is looking at, and more in the long term , so absolutely, and john kirby also said that just

for considering this issue about the possible the provision of fighter jets is at a very early stage. in ukraine, the republican senator johnny earns is convinced that washington should do everything possible so that the ukrainian troops defeat the russians and force them to withdraw from ukraine. russia and ukraine are now practically at an impasse, and that is why we need to continue to work with ukrainians and president zelensky, as well as partner countries, to make sure that ukrainians have the what do they need to defeat

the russians ? gradually bite off parts of ukraine. i do not think that this leads to peace and stability either in ukraine or in europe, therefore i have great hope that the russians will suffer a serious defeat from the ukrainians and will be forced to get out of ukraine, you said earlier that not only the us but also our partners should do more to help the ukrainian defeat the russians, what do you mean and do you think that the us should give ukraine longer-range missiles? i believe that the ukrainian military leadership should determine what exactly they need in the fight against the russians. but i believe that this should include heimers

systems, longer-range anti-ship missiles, ground-class missiles, everything that will allow them to defeat the russians in the occupied territories and to push them out of ukraine, the american congress is increasingly calling for the state department to recognize russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. according to the newspaper politico, the speaker of the house of representatives of the house of representatives, nensipologists, addressed this to secretary of state anthony blinkin, noting that if he does not use the powers delegated to him by congress for such recognition , the legislators themselves will do it and does the congress have enough authority for this, my colleague kateryna lisunova, who joins the broadcast , discussed this in detail from the senate katya congratulations i congratulate you yulia, first of all, is there any progress in the congress on the resolution recognizing russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. currently

, this resolution exists in the format at the committee level in both the house of representatives and the senate directly in the latter, it has already passed the vote of the committee on international relations and is ready to be put to a vote in the senate this week, to be more precise. on wednesday, i managed to talk to the co-authors of this resolution, the democrat sinner metal and the republican lindgremo, the latter directly emphasized that this resolution is one of the most important priorities for ukraine, which washington must close and complete by the end of this year, katya, but the decision is still up to the state department, if the state department delays, can congress use other mechanisms and make it its decision, as explained by the american media to me, the experts with whom i spoke now, this document exists at the level of a resolution that calls on the state department to recognize russia as a state that sponsors terrorism; in fact, the format of the resolution is by nothing other than announcing the position of the congress,

he has no other actually strong and powerful leverage on this situation, and even if the congress redrafts this document into a bill in the final version, it still has to be signed by the president of the united states of america, so the final decision is always under the administration of the president and directly under by the state department and here. in fact, everything is simple because the congress is a branch of government and it should not take over the affairs and leverage of the executive branch of government, at least so this was explained to me by the expert steven blank, with whom i spoke today. i suggest listening to his comment right now. if the executive branch of government, of which the state department is a part, declares that russia is a terrorist state according to us law, and therefore we are taking the next steps as stated in the law, then it will attract sanctions and other punishments. but if the congress votes for it but the white house does not sign it

, there will be no result, it will be a statement of a moral position, but it will not have legislative force. it is clear in poland on the other hand, another expert with whom merida garing spoke with the atlantic council claims that if the contrast cannot take over the levers of influence of the executive branch of power, it can put pressure on the state department directly, the contrast can create a bill that prescribes specific dates for which the department must recognize russia a state that sponsors terrorism suggests that it deserves a more detailed explanation in the comments of melint haring, an expert of the atlantic council with whom i spoke, if the state department does not do what congress thinks necessary, then congress can press the state department so that the latter begins to act. congress can tell the state department. you have 30-60 or so days to do it, and if you do not do it, then we will call a hearing and ask you various questions that you will not like. i wonder what according to milinta

haring, even if washington agrees to recognize russia as a state that sponsors tourism, this may have negative consequences, and for ukraine, in particular, we are talking about negative consequences in the process, and the rest of russian assets on the territory of washington of washington and the united states of america in general and offer to hear more about this legal police in a comment by lydia garing herself. its state assets located in the united states, then anyone will be able to sue for russian assets. and this makes it difficult for ukraine to directly take russian assets assets because another state, other companies and enterprises will also be able to intervene and

claim these assets for themselves, it is interesting that i spoke with experts and they also answered the question why exactly where does the department still not accept e.e. russia as a state that sponsors terrorism and why e of the presidential administration is procrastinating on this issue and, on average, according to them, it is the caution of the administration and another reluctance to provoke the russian federation to a greater escalation of aggression. but nevertheless, as experts also noted, the congress is most likely already e agreed with the position that russia should be recognized as a state that sponsors roads, an interesting clarification this week also a bipartisan group of sanatoriums presented a draft resolution on recognition of russia's actions in ukraine as genocide, tell us about this document, what are the chances of its approval, currently this document exists only at the level of a- and the committee on international relations of the senate, we do not know about the mirror creation of a mirror committee in the house of representatives, and at the same time, it should

be noted that, just as i answered in the previous a-a answers to the questions, that it is still the resolution is therefore a draft law and even if it is recognized that the actions of russia on the territory of ukraine are a genocide of the ukrainian people, it will still be only an announcement, a formal announcement of the position of the congress and not an active action. why is it important to adopt this resolution at the same time? i managed to communicate with one we make one of the co-authors of this e-resolution a republican. portman offers to listen to his explanation right now russian missiles are kissing. they do not spare more and more civilian objects. they destroy nothing, not even grain . food that provokes world hunger as a result of this war, the war chosen by russia today i signed a sub-resolution that calls for recognition of russia's actions on the territory of ukraine as genocide why because if you check the very definition of the word genocide, it

absolutely coincides with current events, such a resolution was important even on a symbolic level katya, thank you very much katya , my colleague kateryna yasenova was on the call from the congress, ukrainian actors who traveled all over the world together with their british colleagues created a play for viewing the classic shakespeare's play a midsummer night's dream, they recreate it in the conditions of war and with the help of modern technologies. shakespeare's prince of the climbers and hippolyta, queen of the amazons between the actors thousands of kilometers and hares in kyiv and flights in paris

they were scattered around the world by war we are at the beginning of the war i went to bulgaria with my children, we have several actors there are several actors in kyiv, one actor in rivne, odesa, they came in, they told me that they are lonely and bored, someone is stuck in bulgaria, someone is in germany, they are upset because they do not see each other, masha said, let's put on shakespeare, i answered her perfectly, i understand the idea of ​​playing exactly the play a midsummer night's dream was finally finalized in may. maria made an announcement on a social network, which was responded to by both old and new acquaintances of mine. well, that is, i didn't know, well, i didn't. i was familiar with such a format and didn't know whether it was also a responsibility

or something, and such a format just seemed very appropriate due to the fact that you don't have to leave, you can not leave the house, you can avoid having to face some kind of e- it 's like lying down in reality there. i'm like, oh, what will happen if i get there, and i'll be there during an air raid. i don't know where to go on a minibus, and first of all, i really want to share with the world these unique personalities of people, show people who these unicorns are. so crazy oh no only in order to restrain the aggression of a huge country and in order to continue to invest in our culture and more than ever because when they want to take ours away from us, we will create it even more and more and more and more so that it will be impossible

to take away all the good light from us forgive me for this at all shakespeare in the comedy a midsummer night's dream three plot lines the duke of athens theseus and his bride prepare for the wedding the lovers lysander and hermia decide to run away from the city, resisting the decision of hermia's father to give her in marriage for another, the king and queen of fairies and elves quarrel and the world is turned upside down, an important part of this work is the human connection between ukrainian actors, because the camera will not let you lie and you have to be very honest in front of the audience , director maria grunicheva and artistic director alin gonzalez found a way to save group scenes, even joint dances, despite the fact that the actors ended up in different parts of the world due to the war in ukraine. very resourceful, because we work with

small windows, all in different places, but if to add fantasy, you can allegedly put your hand out of there into another window, we looked differently at close -ups and short shots of how to walk in front of the camera as in a movie, and then our viewers turn on their imaginations, the performance is in ukrainian with english subtitles and explanations similar to those used a hundred years ago in the silent cinema, the premiere took place in zuma, where those who gave tickets could watch it live or later on a recording. the authors of the summer plan to play several more times, in particular for the ukrainian military . nataliya lounova kostyantyn golovchyn voice of america
