congratulations on the air program of the ukrainian voice of america service time time i am its host ostap yarysh general staff of the armed forces of ukraine stated that russia fired at the volyn colony in donetsk region where the russians received ukrainian prisoners, including australian defenders, according to the russians, more than 50 ukrainian military prisoners were killed, the number of wounded is unknown. and the red cross will check the condition of the other prisoners, but how did they react to the attacks on the deer in the west and about other important news. today we will talk with yulia yarmolenko, who is now joining our broadcast. i congratulate you. so, julia. what comments have we heard from american officials regarding the attack on the

volynytsi colony at this time? of national security of the united states explained that the united states currently does not have enough information to make informed statements, also a senior pentagon official communicating with journalists also said that the united states the states currently do not have clear information about what happened in the deer park, and he also emphasized that it is necessary to be careful with the statements coming from russia, because in the past there were already a number of examples when the russians made statements that were not even close to being true. contrast republican brian fitzpatricks, with whom our colleague kateryna lisonova just spoke, emphasized that the statements of the russian authorities are almost always distorted and every new tragedy, every new attack, or every new russian attack they

in fact, they only confirm that putin is a war criminal and russia is a state sponsor of terrorism, and this is what he told our colleagues. everything that russia says, everything that this regime says in 99% of cases will be false, they just lie easily, this is another tragedy that has become additional evidence that we do not have was needed vladimir putin is a war criminal russia is a state sponsor of terrorism this is just a murderous terrorist regime for which human life has no price all these decisions are made by mentally ill people that is who they are they are not even trying to conduct a military operation, they are just trying to break the morale of the ukrainians, because they know that this is the only thing they themselves lack in russia, the morale before the battle. so, they are trying to break the spirit of the ukrainians. and how to do it, they just commit one atrocity after another,

but it should will have consequences, we will confirm yuri also based on other reactions, and today we also have other important news. us secretary of state anthony blinken spoke by phone with russian foreign minister sergey mlavrov for the first time since the beginning of a full-scale invasion, what did they talk about yura, today the secretary of state anthony blinkin told a little about the details of this conversation, that in this conversation he pressured the kremlin to accept the proposal put forward by the white house and release the americans detained in russia, this is brittney greiner and paul villan, also anthony blinken said that he called on russia to fulfill its promises regarding the grain agreements that were concluded a week ago, he said that today the us ambassador to ukraine bridget bring was in odesa, she

i saw that the cargo has already been loaded onto the ships, they are ready to be shipped, the only thing is the delay - this is the world wanting to make sure that russia will fulfill its promises and guarantee the safe passage of these ships, secretary of state anthony blinken said that he called on russia to make sure that these ships leave as soon as possible as well and what is important today, according to him, secretary of state blinking violated this telephone conversation with the information that russia's next steps in ukraine are an attempt to hold fake referendums and to annex even more ukrainian territories anthony blinken emphasized that the world does not recognize this, called on russia to abandon these plans and if russia goes for it, even greater sanctions will await it, "that in the light of the kremlin's latest statements regarding their plans

to continue the further annexation of ukrainian territory and in fact the words of the minister himself about changing the democratically elected ukrainian government as part of their political plans we will never accept these plans the world does not recognize annexations we will impose additional tangible costs on russia if she will decide to implement her plans. we will also continue to support ukraine so that it can defend itself and impose costs on russia until it stops its aggression. are evaluated in the u.s. now when he is the president of the united states, biden, when he introduced sanctions, he spoke and emphasized that it is not so important to introduce sanctions themselves, it is important to maintain them not not only by the united states, but also by all other

countries, and just today a pentagon official said in a conversation with journalists that the russian economy is now in a very difficult situation, but the effect of the sanctions is starting to take effect. she was also at a press briefing with state secretary blinkin and japanese ministers, she was asked whether the russians are actually forced by the russian military to use chips from stolen ukrainian equipment in order for their military equipment to work, as previously reported, we know from the ukrainian mine two defenses and a repair shop said that such information really exists and indeed export restrictions that were introduced by the united states, but also by dozens of other countries, they are actually have a very significant impact on

russia's ability to wage war, and that is why it is very important to maintain these restrictions and make sure that these restrictions are observed, we have reason to believe that every week and month the export restrictions are having an even more devastating effect on russia's ability to continue this war in preparation for war they have built up stocks of technology and spare parts with their reduction the ability of the russians to continue operations is significantly reduced the reason these expert restrictions are having such an effect is that we are coordinating as with our allies from japan, first of all, the united states does not act alone, we have a coalition of 36 countries and japan immediately stepped up and together we deny russia spare parts in particular, semiconductors and what is important, and we talked about it today we are cooperating to ensure compliance with these restrictions so that russia does not have the necessary tools to continue the ostape war

today karin jeanpierre was also asked whether she thinks that such telephone conversations with russian propagandists, that is between secretary of state blinkin and minister of foreign affairs lavrov, does this not legitimize the russian regime in the eyes of the world, to which she said that there is no illusion about education, who is the aggressor, who is responsible for everything that is happening in the world right now, and if russia is someone, then russia is a country in exile, and it is only becoming more obvious yulia. thank you very much for your inclusion, i will remind you. it was yury yulia yarmolenko with us in direct contact, the largest economy in the world, the usa, is registering a fall for the second quarter in a row, american politicians are discussing the fall determined by the fact that the usa has entered a recession in the white house reject such statements,

oksana bedratenko, our economic expert and website editor, will help us understand more about this who studied this topic this week oksana welcomes you to our studio, glad to see so let's talk about the recession and so we hear opinions that some say that only the white house is entering - it denies what the picture really is now also became the us economy registered a drop of 0.2 % in the second quarter compared to the previous e after hell 4% drop in the first quarter the controversy over whether this is an economic review in the us does not subside and has moved into the political plane especially against the background of the congressional election campaign that is going on now e the opposition is calling for biden to recognize the recession and i blame him for what he does not deny the reality. there is an independent institution that will act as an arbiter in this process - this is the national bureau of economic research, but its conclusion will be made public a little later on

whether there is a recession or not. for now, let's listen to baida's answer to criticisms of the recession. our labor market remains historically strong our economy has added more than nine million jobs since i became president more than a million jobs were added this quarter our unemployment is 3.6%. is approaching a historically low level of consumption, the business engines of our economy continue to move forward, there is no doubt that growth will be lower than last year, but this corresponds to the transition to stable and sustainable growth oksana, how does the economic situation in the usa compare with other countries, and to what extent was it affected by russian aggression in ukraine indeed ostape is currently very difficult to find a region in the world that would show strong economic growth.

this week we saw a new imf report that issued gloomy and uncertain forecasts for the world economy and the imf also lowered the forecasts of economic growth for the three largest economies - the united states, china and europe, the fund warned that education is on the verge of a deep recession, and the fund 's analysts and international analysts indicate that not the last role in this is attributed to the russian war, the impact of the russian war against ukraine on the world economy. this is what the american business and government say about the world economy. let's take smartphones , in the second quarter their sales fell by 11 percent. compared to last year, car production is very strong. it has been at a low level for a long time, mainly due to interruptions in the supply of spare parts, but it is holding up. there are interesting signals in global

demand. in april, 0 cars were sold in shanghai. it is obvious that there are coronavirus lockdowns, but zero is already too much in europe in june. the lowest number of new cars registered since 1996. so, looking at trends, the consumer electronics market is slow, the automotive industry is not very powerful, it cannot deal with supply issues but in the future we expect significant demand in optical communications and solar energy, the same factors that fuel inflation in such countries as canada, the united kingdom, the eurozone, the same problems also harm the americans, these factors include putin's legal and shameful war in ukraine, more than half of the inflation of 2022 reflects the global rise in food and energy prices damage to the world from the russian invasion this also includes the

long-term impact of the pandemic especially in china where the lockdowns stopped the economy today arrived the decline of the american economy, what does this mean for the role of the dollar as a world currency? now it suffers more from factors such as the russian war against ukraine than america, and the situation in europe can worsen even more if, for example, russia cuts off gas in europe, according to the fund's estimates, by 5 %, the economy may decrease, the largest economy in europe is germany and the central european countries may fall into recession, but the fact that the risks for europe are greater than the risks for the usa creates the attractiveness of the dollar as a currency for preservation of value, so we see that the dollar is showing some growth against a basket of major currencies . for some time

now, the us federal reserve is also actively increasing the interest rate, which means that the dollar is becoming even more attractive for investments and, in the end, to scare away the specter of a recession. yesterday, congress approved a package that stimulates the police in the us economy, in particular, the production of semiconductors, this is again oksana, thank you very much for your analysis . for that, i will explain and remind you. it was oksana bedratenko our website editor and economics expert who followed this topic this week, over 10,000 spectators gathered in krakow last weekend to watch a charity tennis match that raised over €420,000 to help ukraine, the event was attended by several ukrainian sports stars, including andriy shevchenko and elina svitolina the match was attended by tens of thousands of spectators in the arena and damage to krakow

, and hundreds of thousands of tv viewers last weekend watched the charity match of the stars polish and ukrainian tennis, this time victory was not the goal. the first racket of the world. polish tennis player inga svityk organized an event to draw the world's attention to the war in ukraine and to raise funds to help children affected by it. the match was judged best . ukrainian tennis player elina svitolina, who is pregnant with her first child. i feel that very few people and very few countries really understand the terrible war in ukraine , that's why such events are very important for us, we can talk about it and unite for help to people in ukraine who need it and hope that one day we will be able to celebrate ukraine's victory. 36-year-old serhii stakhovsky retired a month before the war after an unsuccessful performance at the australian open when russia

launched a full-scale invasion. transferred to the reserve now volunteering and bringing world attention to the war at home we are trying to raise awareness trying to create something to continue talking about the war because the war is still going on with great intensity we need any support we can get legendary ukrainian football player andriy shevchenko who became a special guest of the event joined the fundraising for ukraine as a goodwill ambassador for the official ukrainian charity fund united-twoni for you, this is my duty. i want to help my country. i believe that we should be aware of what is happening. speak loudly and tell people the truth about this war and pro-russian aggression. andriy shevchenko said that despite that the world's attention to the war was extraordinary, the world should do more about these efforts, says the coordinator of the

charity fund united von ifor, supported by the president of ukraine, yaroslava gres, a poet from note, after five months of war, it is not so easy to ask people to donate again and again, so this is a new way of collecting tennis fans really filled the arena and the organizer managed to collect more than 430 thousand euros for the needs of ukraine myroslava gongadze bohdan aspen voice of america krakow poland and the war was reflected not only in big sports our next story about phoenix children's futsal club from kharkiv, the team was created in 2015 as an experimental project for children who did not make it to the main team of their sports schools, however, already in 2020, phoenix became the winner of the cup of ukraine among children under 14 years old, and in 21 won the championship and cup of ukraine among juniors before 16:00, when russia invaded ukraine, young football players had to leave some abroad, and some went to a safer region of ukraine

, yuriy mamon tells the phoenix football club recruited boys whom other coaches did not believe at one time, or those who were constantly sitting on the bench , professional football players, psychologists and experienced coaches worked with the team to determine what these children can achieve if favorable conditions are created for their development, the team lost the first matches with a failing score, however, for in two years, the boys became city futsal champions, and five years later won the cup of ukraine. this year, the team was preparing for an international tournament in italy, but the war made adjustments the scorer of the team, 16-year-old maksym dolgula lived in a residential area of ​​kharkiv. when the shelling started, his family had to move to a safer place. we had to move closer to the city center. we

lived there for about six days. it was the only safe place at that time and then the fighter jets started flying and this is the famous video when our oda building was bombed and the plane dropped the bomb and we were in the center of the city then and decided everything we are going to the village, sixteen-year-old danylo balding also had to go to the village to visit his grandparents, but the russian military got there quickly enough, and the whole family hid in the cellar for a week before realizing that sitting here was not an option, because it is very dangerous. we realized that these are not children here option because it is very dangerous , our grandparents stayed in the village and we still managed to leave, we didn’t know where to go at all, but we were going with my godson and his wife somewhere far away in the center of ukraine in the other direction and that’s how it turned out that the conditions of the baptized are relatives, they provided us with housing and fed us, we also tried to get our grandparents out of that village because very terrible

things are happening there today, 80% of the village is simply not there, all the houses are burned down, everything is broken, everything at home has been talked about, everything is broken, 15-year-old mykhailo soldatenko is currently in germany, where he is engaged in photojournalism, which he was passionate about back in kharkiv. he recently shot the matches of the qualifying tournament of the world futsal championship in hamburg, for which he received a t-shirt of one of the leaders as a gift the german national team t-shirt. the guy sold it at an auction and sent the money to the come back alive fund account. we drove to kharkiv for a long time in the evening, reached kremenchuk and spent the night there, and then went further to the west of ukraine to khmelnytskyi and further. my dad stayed in khmelnytskyi, and i was with my mother and my younger brother

we went to the border of germany, it was difficult to leave my native home without any preparation, not knowing when you return home, i don't know what will happen to our house, i left the dog in the kharkiv region with my grandparents and left my dad in ukraine, put my dad in ukraine and thanks to the efforts director oleksiy soldatenko, the phoenix team is now starting to revive in khmelnytskyi, guys from different cities and villages of ukraine came here. where they left since the beginning of the war, among them maksym dolgula and danylo golderzhav. the guys have already played two matches yuriy memon maksym moskalkov voice of america and more than 70% of americans sympathized with volodymyr zelensky in polls this spring. for many in the usa, he became an example of a fighter for the freedom of his country.

with the ukrainian orchestra, a video clip against the background of the destroyed plane maria in gostomel, the singer says that the song - this is a call to the world to support ukraine with the musician oleksiy spoke kovalenko nut montiki is hiskara the love of john's union before directly talking about your new song can one person save the world can you tell how you came from working on the song blood on my hands about afghanistan to working on the song about ukraine when the war in ukraine started i i wrote the song can one person save the world? i wrote it very quickly, i published it shortly after the start of the war. do you remember at the beginning of the war, the russians were hunting zelensky and i was afraid that he would not live for days, so i was in a hurry with this song and over time i had

the idea of ​​performing a song with a polish orchestra, because i arranged a song for strings, i thought that an option with poland would be good because they are so wonderful , they accept refugees, they are heroes, so i called my friend from the save aways organization and asked if they have any connections there. she promised call back and in a few days she called me asking if i would like to play with the ukrainian orchestra, i was in shock, i said that it would be great, but do they exist now, in what condition does she say, we can work on it, let's talk with by the military they would like it to happen it looks like you are addressing this song to president zelensky is it really true or is this song addressed to a ukrainian you know president zelensky showed great courage when america offered him a plane ticket and he said no send me some stinger missiles instead he fights and

seems to drag the rest of the world to the right side of history, but of course, without the strength of the spirit of the ukrainian people, he will not succeed. they are as strong as he is, he is as strong as ukrainians and ukrainian the people are incredible. i saw it with my own eyes in this orchestra, which i believe broadly represents the ukrainian people and the strength of spirit to play this song. in this place and in front of the ukrainian symbol of independence, the dream is the largest cargo plane in the world, which putin deliberately destroyed to destroy the ukrainian will. we saw it all. since the war started, it's about the ukrainian people, it's actually more than zelenskyi, it's more about zelenskyi and the ukrainian people, the question is whether one person can save the world this applies to each of us concerns each of us, our countries, what will we do or will we stand for freedom when free ukraine is attacked by a trance who commits educational atrocities at the

same time the song is quite personal in it there are words he says am i alone in this war with these words you mean a lot that ukraine needs more support from all over the world, this song honors ukraine and ukrainians, but in fact it is a call to the rest of the world to support ukraine, the firmness shown by ukrainians is incredible, but we have seen before what happens without support when you have to have dealing with putin, russia over time grinds everything down, grinds it down, simply eats it up russia controls 20% of ukraine , that's why the war is not going well, dynamic changes are needed, the world should do more in terms of economic, political and cultural support, that's what my song is about, in this war, a cultural front is needed, artists should

step up and let the russians know that they are exiles. that is why i am calling for a global concert for ukraine, a return to the tradition of live aid when the whole world gathers at a critical moment, what did you feel when you performed a song in front of a dream by an airplane, which became a symbol of russia's unprovoked aggression against ukraine, how was it even born, was it going to be filmed right there, it was heartbreaking and inspiring, it was amazing. when we arrived at the airport, when we saw everything, i didn't think that this would happen, it was a small miracle, because at the moment when we were recording the performance of the orchestra in front of the dream and side vision, i noticed how the military approached us, it turned out that it was a general who allowed us to film in the middle of the ruins, we spoke through an interpreter and he thanked me that i came and i thanked him, he noted that president zelenskyy personally approved these shootings

and also asked to listen to the song. so he left and the orchestra and i began to play. she played as inspired as possible with bravado energy and passion, and it was very moving. somewhere in the middle of the song, the generals of his entourage got phones and began to shoot. we were all filled with emotions, i began to lose self-control, but the ukrainians usually played until the end , ukrainians always finish the case if it was not difficult, and then there was silence for a few seconds, which seemed as if with two hands we realized what exactly we american artists who work with ukrainian colleagues are doing there in front of the symbol of how putin is trying to gut the ukrainian will, no, if it hasn't worked for putin, it still won't work. you said earlier that the task of a musician is to tell the truth to people government what is the main message you wanted to convey with your new song you know it's

good versus evil america has historically supported the good guys it's in our blood and we want to fight for your freedom and make sure that you will win this war because it is very important to understand if we allow putin to absorb ukraine it will not stop him poland and moldova will be next and then the world will fight with russian soldiers of the world - this is also important to understand this is an important time in history you are talking about new projects with support of ukraine do you plan to return to ukraine i hope so i am now focused on getting support for the idea with a concert which i hope will take place in poland i will be very happy to come to ukraine if i i can help, i call on my fellow artists to do it too, and call of the
