and then they sent him to kyiv to remove a fragment from the man's heart, the doctors wondered how viktor managed to survive, what he replied to them, you need to live , you still need to serve, the story of a man with an indomitable fighting spirit . watch the program of the ukrainian voice of america service, time in the studio, nataliya leonova. congratulations, dear, ukraine will be given another package military aid in the amount of 1 billion dollars, this was announced on monday by the deputy minister of defense kolin kal. the aid will be provided as part of the program of presidential powers of un secretary general antonio guterres, after the announcement of the shelling of the zaporozhye nuclear power plant, called for international inspectors to be admitted to the site to check the

security situation. russia's invasion of ukraine emphasized the need for international solidarity support of ukraine and georgia. such a statement was made by us secretary of state anthony blinken on the occasion of the anniversary of the russian-georgian war. the main events and washington's reactions to them, we will talk with yulia yarmolenko, who joins our studio from the white house of vita yulia so yulia, what about contains a new aid package, and when the country receives it, this new military aid package includes a very important one, as they say in the pentagon . this aid package is designed to provide the ukrainian military with exactly what they need. is happening in the east of ukraine, but also now in the south, what does it include, does it include additional rocket ammunition for

himers systems? minute systems and ammunition for them, as well as ammunition for anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as a thousand javelins and 50 armored medical vehicles, among other things, it is important that this is the 18th package under the program of presidential powers, when aid is provided directly from the reserves of the united states, and they say that this package currently there is the largest one under this program, however, of course, magazines could not help but notice that this package does not contain additional himers systems, which people in ukraine may have hoped for and asked at the knees circle, this is the deputy minister of defense of the united states, in fact , why are there no such systems and has the united states not exhausted the possible number of these systems that it is ready to provide for the ukrainians, to which he said that the

united states has already provided ukraine with a fairly powerful number of such systems, that is, 16 himers systems, and three systems provided by the russian federation great britain promised three more to germany, and according to the pentagon's estimates, the ukrainians can now cope with this number of systems quite well. in fact, for the united states and western partners to provide a continuous flow of missiles to these complexes, because they are the main strike force, according to the assessment, the ukrainians are doing quite well in terms of the number of systems, in fact, the priority now is to ensure a constant flow of these missiles of the ammunition. they have a very significant impact, it is 90 kg the warhead is a kind of aquiolenta of a precision-guided airstrike, it is ammunition with gps

guidance, they very effectively took out what was previously difficult for the ukrainians to hit nodes command and control centers of logistics and logistical support, key radar systems, etc. and what this did was that it made it difficult for the russians to move forces on the battlefield, they had to move further away from the khemars in certain aspects, this x slowed down and complicated the process of re-equipment of natalia's forces in the pentagon, they announce that in while the ukrainian stockpile is being replenished, the russian stockpile of high-precision weapons is actually depleting, and the morale of the russian military is also falling, as kolen kal said, and also what is important he was the first from the administration to confirm that, according to the pentagon's estimates, russia has already lost 70-80,000 of its soldiers wounded and dead since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, which is also very important yuli ein, another hot topic i would like to talk about is the shelling of the

zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant captured by russia, general antonio otelish called any attack on a nuclear power plant a suicidal act and called for international inspectors to be allowed to visit the facility, director of the mgt maryana grosu said that the events in ukraine highlight the very real threat of nuclear disasters, how do they react to this situation in washington in the future ? testify to the fact that there is currently no dangerous leakage of radiation . also, thanks to the ukrainian operators of the nuclear power plant, as well as to the ukrainian authorities, that despite the fact that there are violations of the work of these people who still work at the nuclear power plant, these operators continue to work and ensure

normal operation. ukrainians also say that they will support all the efforts of megates to ensure control and ensure technical conditions at the yulia power plant today 14th anniversary of russia's invasion of georgia that we heard from the administration the chance of this occasion that while russia invaded ukraine again it is very important to remember on this anniversary that the people of ukraine and the people of georgia must stand together in solidarity anthony blinken emphasized that and since 2008. on this day, the united states remembers all the victims of

all the wounded and all whose lives were destroyed by the russian invasion of the territory of georgia, and today is also a day for reflection for many western leaders to really think whether the west's response was sufficient or correct or timely to russia's first such powerful aggression and our colleagues from the georgian department recorded an interview with the republican congressman adam kingsinger and he said that in his opinion the west did not learn the lessons it could have learned from russia's invasion in a timely manner 2008 in georgia let's listen, we have to admit that history time after time gives us lessons for the future, the history of 2008 teaches us that if we ignore or pretend that the invasion did not happen, it is an insatiable appetite the invader, it only makes him hungrier. and in the end, a large-scale invasion of ukraine was needed, because the war there had already been going on for some time, so that the west

understood what was clear about hitler during the second world war, that you cannot appease someone who has such an insatiable appetite as russia . thank you yuli for i will remind you of this latest information: yulia yarmolenko was in direct contact with us from the white house while the two-day conference new belarus began, the event was organized by the leader of the belarusian opposition svitlana tsykhanovska opposition to the lukashenko regime, politicians, activists, experts, representatives of public organizations, human rights defenders are participating in it, and my colleague myroslava gongadze is currently there, she will tell us about the progress of the first day of the conference, congratulations myroslava so what is the purpose of this conference and what were the discussions of the first day today we celebrate the anniversary of the war in georgia and tomorrow we will celebrate the second year of the protests at the beginning of the protests in belarus

of the protests that actually tried to free belarus from the dictator lukashenka and here is the current opposition and the newly elected then newly elected president whose again lukashenko did not recognize and appointed himself as president, she organized such a competition so that the opposition, the belarusian opposition that was forced to flee from belarus, a large number of people, almost 300 people are here at this conference from different parts of the world in order for them to discuss what was done, what mistakes were made, what prospects are there for those in this positional russia and what to do next. so, this is an important discussion and she is actually not easy, not everyone agrees with svitlana tikhonovskaya, her cabinet is

different, these discussions are multifaceted, and she is hot, and i must say that there are several important points that the belarusian opposition is trying to make today. the first is the creation of a new cabinet of ministers the cabinet of ministers of the opposition cabinet of ministers where svitlana tikhonovska wants to gather experts who will work in various areas of work for the future of the new belarus natalya myroslava russia continues to deploy additional forces on the territory of belarus, it was the proclaimed president lukashenko who previously said that he was helping russia in its war against ukraine, was the issue of ukraine raised at the conference, of course, of course, ukraine sounds everywhere here. - firstly, russia's war in ukraine is a new

reference challenge and, in addition, a challenge to relations with, in particular, ukraine, because it is clear that the belarusians in this situation automatically became enemies of ukrainians and the belarusian opposition is extremely worried about the second thing - they are worried about what svitlana tjahnovska said in an interview today, what does she think is growing now that belarus is de facto occupied by russian troops without firing a single shot and will have to to liberate the country from this occupation and she very much expects that the future of belarus will depend on the results of the war in ukraine and victory in ukraine. tikhanovskaya and how does she comment on the presence of russian troops on the territory of belarus and the threat of involving belarus in the war on the side of russia? well,

as i already said, she considers it an occupation, and she says that they are the belarusian opposition, even in belarus , they have already started a certain partisan war. it also applied to e-e echelons with ammunition and so on, but she says that if such troops invade ukraine, a real guerilla war will begin on the territory of belarus. thank you myroslav, i will remind you to contact us directly from the lithuanian capital city of vilnius was myroslava gongadze, and you can see an interview with the opposition leader svitlana tikhanovskyi tomorrow in the time there program and on other platforms of the ukrainian voice of america service , tension is growing between moscow and jerusalem due

to russia's efforts to close the dried-up organization that helps jews leave for israel the russian side does not name the reasons for the closure, it only talks about the violation of russian legislation, how the war of russia against ukraine affected the jewish community in ukraine and russia and the politics of israel, as well as how the position of jerusalem on ukraine may change after the parliamentary elections in the story of kateryna lisunova, almost 30 thousand russian ukrainian and belarusian jews have moved to israel since the beginning of the full-scale russian war against ukraine. such figures are cited by the ministry of aliyah and integration of israel of jews fleeing russia, according to the ministry, almost 40% more than jews trying to leave ukraine in general, the number of emigrants from russia to israel in the last six months has doubled the figure for the whole the previous year, emigration from ukraine began to decline sharply from march, but the number of people wishing to leave

russia remains stable, from three and a half to four thousand new arrivals leave russia every month due to the growth of anti-semitism, the economic crisis and the return of the repressive policy of the soviet union, says pinka from guashmid , the chief rabbi of moscow, who also left russia after the start of a full-scale war, the first reason is the fear of closing the iron curtain , which means that in the near future you will leave in russia it will be simply impossible exists in many members of the jewish community in russia violates the law the next court hearing on the closure of the moscow office of the oldest jewish organization will take place on august 19 natan shuransky, an israeli politician and former government official, believes that the kremlin's desire to be closed is a politically motivated rabble-rouser russia, which is almost completely isolated from of the free world is looking for a way out.

they are trying to put pressure on various countries. they are scaring germany with the fact that people will start dying from in the cold winter, they also begin to put pressure on us using a jewish organization. israeli analysts say that russia is not satisfied with the policy of the new prime minister yair lapid regarding the war in ukraine. his predecessor, natalie benad, tried not to criticize russia and even flew to moscow at the beginning of a full-scale war with the proposal to become a mediator... and later, becoming the prime minister, followed a less balanced approach, he clearly defined russia as an aggressor, this concerns soviet rhetoric rather than any specific actions, but in this conflict, rhetoric is important, however, his prime minister on july 1. he headed the provisional government, which will operate until the parliamentary elections on november 1. meanwhile, opinion polls predict the leadership of the new leader of the party of former prime minister benjamin netanyahu, a full-scale war

with russia, which the kremlin calls a so-called special operation from denazification turned into a separate tragedy for ukrainian jews, however, despite the destroyed synagogues and cultural buildings, many jewish religious and public organizations were able to leave for israel decided to stay in ukraine and help counter russian aggression. well, the chinese communities were simply evacuated, many communities were evacuated, but communities in mariupol simply do not exist anymore, two synagogues in mariupol were destroyed, of course, among others, jews among ukrainians and russians who lived in mariupol in the kharkiv community is constantly under fire, what is left of the community, the same thing is happening in mykolaiv, in short, this is the kind of denazification, the majority, after all, the majority of the leaders of the jewish communities, this applies to those who remained in ukraine because not all of them are actively engaged in helping all citizens of ukraine here, there is no division by nationality, on the other

hand, russian jews who oppose the war in ukraine claim that they cannot speak about it openly for fear of persecution after february 24, after the start of special operations in russia in ukraine , economic, political and all factors led to the fact that a huge number of jews either already left or thought about it, and russian jews express their position by their actions by the thousands leaving russia since february of this year kateryna lisonova linda grashtein oleksiy usyka voice of america according to the un human rights monitoring mission, the russian military captured hundreds of civilians of ukraine who never picked up a weapon, they were taken from their homes and not given to their relatives no information human why watch called such disappearances of civilians abductions at the beginning of the war, the russian army took civilians with them while retreating from the sumy and kyiv regions later kherson

oblast became the center of such miscarriages, american correspondents voted, they prepared a series of reports about these disappearances of ukrainian civilians, the first series from buchi is told by yuriy mamon of the town of dobuch, still fresh mass graves, its inhabitants continue to return . natalia's children returned home at the end of june. she sent them to poland in the first no during the russian occupation of yevhen guryanov's husband. he is still missing. the russian military took him from his home on march 18. he is a mechanic who after the occupation buchi helped local residents with food and evacuation, he is in no way connected with the armed forces of ukraine, natalya tells why the russian military came for her husband. they still can't answer ani. they came to us and it was because of our clothes that they said that if we are ill-wishers because they said that

yevgeny lives at such and such an address, who directs fire at them. they shared me in the neighboring house, eh, and about him. at our house, they asked only, well, by pure chance, probably, eh, someone there he shouted with the military and led us to our house, the man was on his knees under a machine gun and the russian military forced us to use the equipment there, they shackled themselves, well , their commanders, or who is there ? - and he said why did he bring them here , uh, well, say goodbye for literally a few seconds

and uh, well, they kind of said goodbye and left again natalya found out about her husband's whereabouts by accident one of the released prisoners reported that he was sitting with her husband already after de-occupation, she was told that yevgeny was initially held at the airport in gostomel, where natalya's kidnapped son-in-law serhiy lyubich was also previously located. on march 22, the prisoners, including her husband, were taken to the direction of belarus. the tours were there. the filtration camp , eh, that’s exactly what the prisoners were tied to there, and then, eh , they kept them for several days in this filtration camp, and sergei and my husband were then sent to bryansk, russia, eh, to the city of

возыках season number two human rights defenders call the detention of civilians abduction according to their data, many are sent to russian pre-trial detention centers or the territories most controlled by russia, which people of illegal status live in the corner of the guards, and some of them are treated by the russian authorities as military we will be civil , they do not recognize each other, and this is a-a brings about the disappearance of knowledge, we are because they can’t, they can’t . how can they contact their families? отрезно давать просмотры, чем логической why would these people be captured? there are so many people who now give information, for example

, relatives, those whom they wanted, they are captured very often because they look, that is, the russian soldiers who came here. that we sent you the savior of the nazis, they faced the fact that there are no nazis here. there is an apolitical nation of ukrainians who do not want any russian soldiers in any way they actively saw were taken captive with them at the time of departure, especially from the sumy and kyiv regions, in particular, there, in particular, the majority of those with whom we work are not located in syzo, there in the kursk bryansk and belgorod regions, it is extremely difficult to get information about the detainees in russia only in in rare cases confirms the facts of the capture of civilians the press service of the commissioner for human rights of russia did not respond to our request for an interview at the time of publication of this material we also did not receive information about yevhen's whereabouts guryanova, however, liguryanova found out through the red cross that her husband was in russian

captivity, which is not easy, because often russia recognizes the fact that she is holding a person captive, this person has already lost much of their health, that is, they do not want to engage this person is expensive to us, we can treat him, and in this way they somehow recognize that this person is in captivity, and then they put him on the list so that they can be exchanged as soon as possible, but when it will happen is unknown and it will not stop easily no yury mamontyan voice of america 7,000 loaves of bread are baked a week he is in the winter bakery in kyiv people with mental disabilities work there and with the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine and

their mother's volunteers are not indifferent to feed those ukrainians who live there where because of the war it became impossible to buy bread as they bake bread so they give it to whom they will tell anya consulchenko and pavel sukhodolsky morning is the hottest time say the volunteers of a small kyiv bakery at the beginning of the full-scale war of russia against ukraine here baked more than 120,000 loaves of bread for the needy, primarily people in cities and towns where shops are closed due to russia's military actions against ukraine, as well as people who lost their jobs during these 12-hour periods and bake more than a thousand loaves of bread a day, tomorrow this bread will go to of these regions of ukraine, where now each crust is actually worth its weight in gold, we were already

in makarov, chernihiv, in the donetsk region, selling our bread in kharkiv, and we are constantly expanding the delivery area so that everyone who needs it can get our clips and be full however, we understand that bread is not only asking for it, it is a symbol of support, so people who receive it understand that someone who is worried about them at this very moment understands that that narrative from our neighbor is actually that our house is greedy, he is diametrically opposed to ukrainians because in times of sadness, every time ukrainians show that we are gathering and we help, that's why our house is definitely on the edge, and here the loaves are being prepared to go into the oven. the bakery was founded in 2017 as a social project. people with mental disorders work here. with disabilities, 27-year-old kateryna kovalchuk, one of them says

that this bakery was the first place where she found not only a job, but also friendly support. now kateryna helps others with her work. well, i have been working here for two years since march 2, 2020. if you know the work well, then there is nothing complicated, there is simply nothing to blame. first of the war , volunteers actively joined the work in the bakery. patrick longfeld, an american, is also one of the volunteers. he is a professional military man and has never baked bread with his own hands. however , after learning about the initiative, he decided to join again. i am already a little old to fight as a soldier . i used to fight in the american army. but it is a hard and dangerous job, so since i am too old for this, i decided that i can help the country here. i married a ukrainian woman in 2017. then the couple decided to live in ukraine. even after the war, the husband

did not leave for border this is my home ukraine is my home bread is baked here from high-grade flour they add raisins or a little onion patrick says and they often decorate the bread with the trident tomorrow it will go to the people and with affected regions, this is a brightly painted minibus, the people of the regions of ukraine affected by the russian occupation wait with impatience and wait in line in advance, well, this is very nice, we don’t have any in the store now. and without bread , it’s very expensive for us to go to the center, so it’s 20 uah, where 12 hryvnias then 12 hryvnias - it works out for you, and she is now in such a situation that many people are left without work, everyone is looking for damaged houses, she is unemployed but not yet a pensioner

. i had a puppy, the owner of the bakery often travels with volunteers to distribute bread and talk with local residents. today we brought 600 loaves of bread to lviv and we distributed half of them. tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, that's all that will happen, that is, people will be waiting for this bread for another week until i arrive . people, the worse it was for them, the more positive they are now, because people are happy that they are alive at all, those people who saw death, uh, saw the occupation, experienced the fact that they had a destroyed house, and so on , they are positive, you look at life a little through other eyes, vladyslav says his bakery, first of all, war is not a business, because all bread is distributed free of charge, this is possible thanks to the donations of caring ukrainians and foreigners, sometimes people

donate flour and other ingredients for baking , the bakery's expenses are about uah 500,000 per month, this allows us to feed more than 12,000 people anna kostyuchenko pavel sukhodolsky for the voice of america from chernihiv you watched the program of the ukrainian voice of america chas-time join our special broadcasts on social networks on youtube and facebook at 18:00 kyiv time watch in during the live broadcast, you can ask questions to our hosts and journalists. thank you for trusting us. nataliya lounova was in the studio. take care of yourself and have a peaceful night. so that ukrainians don't think about so that they don't speak first. it's still a war, a war, and our victory, seven days a week from monday to monday seven different spheres of
