antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly assess the events and analyze them by modeling our near future every saturday at 1:00 p.m. with a repeat at 10 p.m. studio event with anton borkovskii nayspresso you are watching the program of the ukrainian voice of america service time in the studio nataliya leonova congratulations to the 27th country four copenhageners discussed ways to strengthen military support for ukraine in its resistance to russian aggression, the danish conference is additional to the meetings was launched this year on the initiative of the usa at the

american rammstein base in germany with the participation of more than 40 countries, following the copenhagen conference, we are following our european correspondent bohdan tsyupin about its results and other important news from europe for ukraine, we will talk to him right now, he is joining us in the studio from london greetings bohdan bohdane so, what does ukraine get as a result of the copenhagen conference, what obligations did its participants undertake in answering this question i would say first of all, those, for example, our fellow journalists , who were expecting, perhaps, some impressive sensational reports about new batches of weapons for ukraine, were probably disappointed. we had reports yesterday about three additional missile salvo systems that britain has undertaken to send . to ukraine, but today it was about something

else today the participants of the conference in copenhagen talked more about long-term long-term aid and how to preserve this military aid for ukraine so that it is permanent and in particular perhaps one of the key achievements was the announcement of the creation of a fund to which 1.5 billion euros have already been announced, this money will be used, the participants in copenhagen said today, not only to buy weapons for ukraine, but even to, say to organize the production and production capacity of what ukraine will need even for the future, and it is precisely this perspective that ukrainian

defense minister oleksiy reznikov spoke about today in copenhagen, he spoke in english we translated it for this program please my impressions or conclusions i am satisfied with the conference and the results a lot of information is closed so i cannot discuss it in public but we agreed on clear initiatives and commitments on demining agreed on actions for the medium and long term this concerns also the production of weapons, and i am glad that we all agree that there is no time for fatigue, this is a marathon, but a marathon requires energy, and frankly, in this case, the main energy is money, our partners know that we funds are needed and they expressed their readiness to support us financially, mr. bohdani, british intelligence reports in its latest analysis that the russian federation will not be able to fulfill its obligations to export military equipment, as explained by the intelligence officers,

well, actually, it is about very short, very concise messages. is it the summary of the ministry of defense of great britain, which is spread almost daily via twitter regarding the course of the war in ukraine, and some analysts, some commentators, even journalists are very skeptical about it, because the task of intelligence services and the ministry of defense very often consist in not divulging important information, for example, you just heard the ukrainian minister of defense on this matter, but as for the latter in particular, it is possible that we heard the obvious, but from a probably more authoritative source, namely that the russian industry, the russian military-industrial complex probably cannot cope with the needs of the russian

operation, the russian war in ukraine, where they destroy a lot of russian equipment, in addition to that in the world as british experts believe that even the authority of trust in russian weapons is decreasing in general, and they call it one of the consequences of this war. the latvian parliament has to admit what this decision means in practice and what are the positions of the rest of the eu on this issue. this is of more political importance than any practical one. but let's not forget that the european union is an organization of equal countries, each state regardless of its size has the right to vote. and when there are many such votes, it affects the decision of the organization in this case regarding

russia regarding sanctions or other actions against russia, earlier the leader of this country and the leader of finland called to stop issuing tourist visas to all russians without exception . chancellor olafsholtz said that he is against the ban applying to all russians because the sanctions should be targeted , this is how he told journalists, wi-fi is running, they approved very far-reaching sanctions that also concern many specific individuals and oligarchs and those who support the power structures in russia, and we will certainly continue to do so if these actions were weakened, if they were directed against all

the key to completely innocent people. so this is the opinion of the german chancellor, but here we must keep in mind that in this situation the opinion and position of the border countries of the european union with russia are very important, because the railway connection, the air connection with russia has been stopped, the airspace is closed to russian airlines in in europe, what estonia is doing, what it has already done, has actually closed tourist visas for russians, latvia , and what finland might do will be much more important, more tangible. thank you , bohdan, for the latest information . they support ukraine's calls

to create a demilitarized zone around nuclear facilities in ukraine, the process, citing a representative of the state department, reports that the american changes to the battle around the nuclear power plant are dangerous and irresponsible and we continue to call on russia to stop all military operations on or around ukrainian nuclear facilities and to return full control over them to ukraine, quote the official of the changes at the moment, the un security council has started a meeting dedicated to the situation at the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, the meeting was called by russia because of, as noted, strikes on among the key speakers of the zaporizhzhia npp is the general director of megater rafael borosi during the meeting, the scale of the un apartment is being followed by my colleague iryna solomko joins our broadcast. greetings, iryna, for what purpose did russia call the meeting and what is the official position of ukraine? i would like to say that before this

meeting there were several months of negotiations, they were to some extent so private. and these were negotiations between russia and ukraine, mother and the un in the context of a-a group of store specialists will still come to a zaporizhia nuclear power plant in order to monitor the situation because at the moment neither ukraine nor the world has such reliable information, all we have is that information which we will receive, it basically comes from the russian side, so it was important for ukraine and the world that the mgt experts came to assess the situation there, the damages that already exist today, how they affect the operation of the station and ukraine insisted that all this should take place in accordance with ukrainian legislation and that this group of experts should come to the territory of the station from the side of ukraine, respectively, russia has a different position and they emphasize to us that after all, the group should come and work with

by russian laws, because now the station is located in the occupied territories, and these are the ones that, in fact, became such an obstacle for the group to come, and recently all these discussions have already begun to appear in the public sphere, there was a statement, for example, - the ministry of foreign affairs of russia about the fact that the general secretary quotes us, we hope that the situation we are seeing now will prompt the general secretary to take responsibility and stop these obstacles, and that is why experts and diplomats believe that today's meeting is a continuation of this pressure on russia, that is, to try on the secretary general of the united nations so that this visit will take place on russian terms, and now you can hear the official position of the permanent representative of ukraine, prion serhiy kositsy, regarding this meeting, this is an attempt to overturn turn the situation upside down and put pressure on

the director general of the mgt on the secretary general of the united nations why try because megatheria is a key body in of the united nations system, which is responsible for nuclear safety and the safe operation of nuclear facilities, ukraine has been negotiating for many months with many regarding the implementation of the mgta mission at the gas station with the aim of establishing the facts and implementing measures that would have prevented or accident as a result of incorrect the use or as a result of the detonation of these weapons, those munitions located on the territory of iryna, what exactly does ukraine and international organizations demand, in addition to the admission of international inspectors? i would like to say what is the international community and ukraine? in this regard, they are quite united in their contact with what is

happening at the zaporizhia nuclear power plant and, accordingly, what actions should be taken. yesterday was a statement by the minister of foreign affairs of the group of seven countries, in which they urged that russia should return control over e-e zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, after all, ukraine today also had a statement, respectively, by eu member states in this context, they call for the withdrawal of troops to return control and in principle to stop to use a nuclear power plant as essentially an atomic bomb on the territory of ukraine in this conflict. the russian federation must unconditionally allow the implementation of the mission. the russian federation must immediately take all measures to

withdraw its armed forces from the territory of the nuclear facility, demining the nuclear facility and, of course, stop shelling the nuclear facility iryno we heard the official positions of how american experts assess what is happening now at the gas station yes i managed to talk to several experts, they say that the situation is unprecedented, they do not have much hope that something can change in today's meeting because ah, unfortunately, that is, ukraine has never taken, well, in fact, it has not taken a nuclear plant . economic for ukraine, because if russia now re-connects the zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant to crimea, that is, a large part of the south will remain without electricity, this issue will need to be resolved, that is, there are many,

many such complex issues. will develop new algorithms and solutions and how to protect countries from such a scenario, because there is no answer today. thanks to irina, i will remind you during the un security council meeting our colleague iryna solomko monitored the situation around the au. 98% of ukrainians are confident of victory in the war, more than 90% approve of president zelenskyi's work. these are the results of a new large-scale survey of ukrainians conducted by the international republican institute of the usa. ukrainians were asked what they hope for, who they trust, and where they get survey information showed how the attitude of ukrainians to the eu, nato, western

allies is changing, as well as trust in the authorities during the war, the report was also researched by my colleague oksana bedratenko she had the opportunity to talk with the president of the denamtvaning institute. greetings oksana. so, let 's first outline what the general trend of mood among ukrainians was shown by this survey. yes, natalya, the international republican institute of the usa has been conducting public opinion polls in ukraine for many years, and what struck even the authors of the study is optimism of ukrainians, 98% of ukrainians believe that ukraine will win the war, more than 90% consider the future of ukraine very promising, and if you look at the age categories, then practically all age groups believe almost equally in the victory of ukraine if we look at the cross-section of the regions e, then we see that even in such a difficult region as the east, as well as 94% of ukrainians in general believe in the victory of ukraine, several things attract attention,

first, the vast majority of ukrainians are convinced that ukraine will win 98% of ukrainians believe in victory in the war, also the majority of two-thirds of ukrainians believe that ukraine should take back its territory, everything that russia has encroached upon since 2014, that is, renewing the territory was approved in 1991. this will be final point of war, this includes crimea and other regions that russia took from 2014, ukrainians strongly support the president and the administration and look to the future with hope, this should be a lesson for all of us in the west, sociology was also interested in whom ukrainians trust and what they expect from the authorities, what they heard, it is worth noting that against the background of the

war, support for nato is increasing. now, according to the survey, 72% of ukrainians would vote in a referendum for joining nato if it were to take place. so when they were interviewed, it was june. 13% of points are more than e-e according to the results of the survey that was held in april, and it is interesting from the authorities that ukrainians expect that the authorities will concentrate in the coming years not only on the return of e-territory to ensure territorial integrity, but also on the implementation of reforms, in particular anti-corruption reforms as well it is worth noting that the rating of confidence in the armed forces of ukraine is the highest, it is 98%, and the rating of support for the authorities of the leadership is somewhat lower, and zelensky’s rating is more than 90%, but if you look at these numbers in more detail, you can see that those who

unconditionally supports zelenskyi, this percentage decreased slightly, it was 74% in april and now it is 59% of support, but still the numbers are high enough, every political leader of a democratic country in the world would like to have such support, our survey shows more than 90% trust, this is much more than putin has in russia, and there the rating is of course distorted because if you say that you do not approve of putin, you will end up in prison, but ukrainians not only want to end the war, they want to improve democracy, join the west, overcome corruption, become part of europe, they are from enato our survey shows that since april only, support for joining nato among ukrainians has increased by 13%. 72% of ukrainians say that they would vote today in a referendum to join nato of course this is the decision of the

alliance, and i will remind you this is another dividend of putin 's miscalculations regarding the war, he definitely pushed ukrainians to join nato oksana another question asked by sociologists to ukrainians, where do they get the information that they heard this time in fact, the greatest trust among information is the first place and was provided by the channel telegram and viber is practical the same support is 47%, ukrainians trust the news telethon, and it is worth noting that young people trust viber telegram more, and the older population trusts the telethon more. twaning told me that, in principle, ukrainians now use high-tech phones to find out the latest news, they are also careful not to become victims of the information war, and they believe that ukrainians are really aware of the information war that the kremlin is waging

on the territory of ukraine. thank you, oksana, for your the information will be watched by the time program, we continue the program russia captured and deported to its territory at least one million 200 thousand ukrainians, among them almost half a million children such data as of the end of june is provided by the deputy prime minister of ukraine iryna vereshchuk , many are received in russian pre-trial detention centers or in russian- controlled prisons territories are sent to the russian pre-trial detention center, and ukrainians who did not pass the screening at the russian border, where they fled from the war, having no other option to get out of the combat zones, their stories will be told by yuriy mamon in the russian pre-trial detention center since the beginning of the war in addition to kidnapped ukrainians

, there are also those who did not pass the so-called filtering on the russian border, they are detained without providing any information to relatives the federation did not fill or who green corridors on the territory of ukraine, and there they passed so called filtration, i will immediately say that this is an absolutely illegal procedure as a result of which, even there, doctors and, er, teachers of medicine and biochemistry remained in the so-called filtration camps, and in the future their participation fell into disrepute." relatives cannot contact any database . well, you know, if a sister asks, uh

, who didn’t let her brother in, she asks our soldier. and what actually happens is that no one has passed the filter, and he answers with a smile, i shot gray people here, and then count would put on that it's not true that it's such idiotic jokes for which it is necessary to judge well, who knows it it is extremely difficult for human rights defenders in russia to get even confirmation of any information about the whereabouts of detained and kidnapped ukrainians , most lawyers refuse to work with such people, they say something about the accused and the consequences of that person er, the colonies, the chiefs of the season

. we are the elector of a lawyer who lives directly where the season is located. i also received such an etching and such a decisive tone in the voice. it sounded like we have to understand that soviet tone. ukrainians who have served the terms imposed on them even before the war for administrative or criminal offenses are detained, human rights defenders call on third countries to shelter such people until the end of the war after the punishment, that is, they are no longer guilty, everything they have already received after this is ordinary, they are also

sent to the temporary detention center until this, when there is an opportunity to deport everyone , that is, whoever committed the crime is punished twice. i am not sure that he will be safe because of the russian federation. somehow, through the territories under the control of the russian federation, they somehow move to ukraine. well, they can send them to the occupied territories in east kherson, and they are just there they will die from shooting or from a break-up - that 's somewhere, eh, well, at the beginning of the war, the number of ukrainians in temporary detention centers for foreign citizens has increased, because the detention of ukrainians continues to this day, both inside the country and on the russian border, give us a picture, too, that's what we know there is already a case when people are accused of administrative offenses. we even know a person who is not in moscow, who crossed the border, but for some reason they detained him and blamed him.

veneniyu in the violation of the administrative code , he allegedly spoke obscenely and for this matter, which of course is a terrible rarity in our country, in general, no one tolerates obscene language, he received 10 days in prison with this method, chechens were isolated by this method at the end of 1999, it began in 2000, the second now the pan, when it was decided that there should be no chechens in moscow, they detained them, and, well, dear intellectuals, what was formed, er, this is such a method of isolation that exists, and er, we are now asking, how are you going to help these people? goals of freedom yury mamon anu shevetisyan voice of america a small but active group of ukrainian students from stanford university in california started a number of charitable projects designed to help ukraine, among other things, they came up with a way to raise money by running

, how exactly they do it, they learned khrystyna shevchenko ukraine is a virtual run in support children of ukraine, everyone can buy an online ticket and receive a special bracelet and sticker with which you can run in support of ukrainian children affected by the war with the initiative was taken by the ukrainian student association of ford state. it started as a virtual race that lasted one month with the idea that you buy a ticket and all the money made at this fundraising will go to maternity hospitals in ukraine, but as a result, we decided to continue the fantasy from one month for the whole summer, the race can be both individual and group. oleksandr skorokhod, a resident of the silicon valley, one of the participants of the race says: before this initiative, he was running, but when he heard that he could help

i immediately agreed to the ukrainian maternity hospitals, we ran together there for 10 km, then there were five people, 30-40 of us gathered, it is very important for me, after all, now being here in safety , a-a, to help. for ukraine, of course, the most well, it is so painful to receive these news about how ukrainian children are dying or how they are injured. in total, 52 cities and 62 countries took part in the races and together ran 1,000 km. the races took place not only in the usa, but also in germany, italy, austria, india. we are trying it is especially important to raise money for children, mainly for maternity wards in ukraine , because recently the number of premature births has increased dramatically, therefore there are many requirements for

equipment, for example, incubators for newborns, and we are trying to collect these funds for this purpose and not in a hurry, the only student association stanford has set a goal of raising $50,000 for ukrainian women victims of sexual assault as the russian invasion progresses we have heard many stories of violent crimes against women and children, and to help them we have organized a fundraiser and hope to use the funds from this fundraiser to help survivors in ukraine. the goal of the fundraiser is to provide medical, legal and psychological assistance to women victims of sexual violence. this fundraiser is promised to be launched in the fall. in addition, the student association is working on grants for the financing of medicines, medical supplies and ambulances and in general, the ukrainian student association of stanford collected more than two and eight million dollars for various humanitarian missions fell asleep alto khrystyna shevchenko voice of america
