that's just even more, it protruded from him and that's the chubby one, it would look exactly the same on the face, from the side, just like that, let's take a closer look at andrii's photo, he looks about 11 years old, he has gray-blue eyes and dark hair on the day of his disappearance, he had a regular haircut and if we assume that in this recent photo session it is really andriy, now he has a very short haircut, he was last seen in poltava, sadi microdistrict, 1 guy, we are in cars, so i am especially appealing to car owners from poltava if if you have seen this child or you happen to see it, do not hesitate to dial the short number of the magnolia child tracing service 116,000,000 calls from any mobile operator are free or write to the chat bot of the child tracing service in telegram i told you only one story of a missing child in general from the beginning they received more than 2,000 requests for

help in the search, fortunately, most of the children have already been found, but the fate of many remains unknown, so i am asking you to take just a minute and go to the service's website search for magnolia children here you can view all the photos of the missing, maybe you will recognize someone and eventually help find them on the air program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america time time i am yuliya yarmolenko congratulations russian offensive actions in the east of ukraine are probably reaching a climax these are the assessments given by analysts of the american institute for the study of war, they

believe that russia is not able to turn tactical gains into operational successes, and this, according to estimates, will not allow russia to seize significant territories if the situation on the battlefield does not change significantly and in british intelligence is informed that it is increasingly difficult for russia to motivate additional forces to replenish regular troops in donbas, while in europe they are discussing the possibility of limiting the issuance of visas to russians, the eu's top representative for foreign policy, josep borel, said that he does not consider a complete ban on visas for all russians to be a good idea. as early as next week countries are planning to discuss a common visa policy in this area on restrictions on issuing visas to russians. last week, estonia and finland announced earlier relevant measures introduced by latvia, the czech republic and poland, but what is the position of the chance of this issue and about other topics , let's talk with ostapa jaroshy, who is joining the broadcast just now ostapa hello, can we expect that the united states will limit the issuance

of visas to russians, or will the official washington yuriy comment on this today in the state department quite clearly commented on this issue, she said that, in principle, they have already limited the issuance of visas since february 24, 2022, since the beginning of the full-scale secession, they have limited the issuance of visas to about 5,000 people who are otherwise involved in russian aggression against ukraine, the state department said, i want to quote what they also told journalists, they told us that we will continue to identify people involved in the invasion of russia and will contribute to bringing them to justice for their behavior, we are considering all the tools to bring the kremlin to justice, they said in the state department, but at the same time it is important to emphasize this, they told the journalists and this was confirmed by the spokesman of the state over the price literally a few minutes before our on the air, they said that they do not support a general ban on issuing visas for all citizens of russia, running a line a-a and said that they do not want to close the ways to asylum or for security

for russian dissidents or for those who a-a suffer from violations of human rights in russia, such is the communication of the state department on this matter yulia, the topic is the current course of the war and experts' assessments of the next development, earlier one of the military experts, ben hodges, said that the russian offensive could reach its climax by the end summer that the russian troops will begin to wear out, or do analysts see signs of the exhaustion of the russian troops? yulia is also seen by many analysts, as well as former generals or experts who are currently investigating the war, or after all, the official intelligence of some countries says about it, in particular, markerting - this is a retired american military general. says that, in his opinion, russia is now more on the defensive, while ukraine can choose its own target points, where to attack, this is what, in his opinion, the world can do now observing in ukraine, he says that the russian army

is poorly managed, poorly trained and has low combat morale. he also agrees with such similar assessments at the institute for the study of war, which you mentioned at the beginning of our broadcast, they say that russia is really now in order to resume some offensive operations and significant offensive operations will need to mobilize more resources, both army and human resources, and now it is difficult for russia to do this, and this trend will most likely continue in the future as an example analysts cite the attempts of the russians to attack or the desire to attack bakhmut avdiyivka, which did not bring the desired results to the russian army. similar assessments are also expressed by yulia in british intelligence. the ministry of defense of britain today published its latest report and its data that it is difficult for the russians to mobilize more to force people to attract more e-e military to participate in a full-scale war against ukraine, they are trying to somehow stimulate now,

whether with money or in some other ways or intimidation, but i am saying that there are difficulties for the simorosian army now, therefore, in principle, at least three different sources really say that there are certain problems in the russian command in order to mobilize resources to create some serious offensive further, ms. for this moment. what amount of military aid has already been provided by the united states yuriy well, in fact, the united states of all partners provided the most military aid to ukraine, we know that during the time of the biden administration, it amounts to more than 10 and a half billion dollars and initially a full-scale withdrawal from february 24 of this year, they have already provided almost 10 billion dollars of such military aid to ukraine yuriy and this is not the end, we know that there is still money that was allocated by the congress at least until the end of september, later we know that there are other mechanisms,

in particular how lend-lease that are planned to be used , so i am helping, it will continue in the future, we know that the administration says that they will support ukraine as long as it is needed yura yes, of course, we do not hear such messages again thank you my colleague ostap yarosh was in touch with you from capitol hill, during six months of full-scale war, millions of ukrainians were forced to leave their homes and seek refuge elsewhere, among them is the singer jamala, she was lost from home twice when russia occupied crimea in 2014 and now after invasion of russia in february , now she is using her star power to raise money for ukraine and thank those who help ukrainian refugees myroslava gongad met the singer in poland, where she is preparing to participate in the polish show dancing with the stars her exclusive interview next what what happened to you on february 24th of this year february 24th, how do we all

seem to me ah i was at home my husband came and woke me up and said what happened, russia attacked us and it looks like i look out the window, there is a commotion, everyone is running somewhere, something, i don't know, i didn't have any, you know, collected clothes, documents, but there is something, the authorities said, did you expect to hear any observations at all ? some kind of preparation, that is, did you in principle not believe it yourself and did not even think about it after all, the war is still half a year. yes, the 24th will be half a year and 8 years, half a year, let's say half a year, full-scale. bloody, cruel, absolutely

, absolutely naughty, you know, i just sometimes watch some moments that russia is lying, as usual, as always, it's already lying. and in the 44th year when i sang on stranger the comedy house the kill you aa guilty just to be more precise, everything is the same, uh, they constantly lie, lie, lie, lie, and from the 24th i was also full of hope, plans and everything, and i had shock, how did you pull yourself together? you pulled yourself together for sure, i understood what war was and everything and everything, i pulled myself together for sure on the 28th, when i arrived in istanbul. thank god

there were them, there was a place where i was going. it was, uh, turkey, from istanbul to to my sister, eh. i am on the 28th. and why on the 28th did i already realize that i needed to get together because when i recorded this story on instagram, 5 million people watched it, and at that moment, when i was leaving , everyone in the family was already calling me and they asked for comments, all this, and i understood that i can't just hide now, you all have a role, you have and well, that is, my profession has stopped to a certain extent. that is, i am not just a singer now, my mother is a songwriter. no, i have to do something to save my home. well, if these sounds pathetic, but at this moment you feel like this, you can speak. you can collect now, for six months, we

have more than 90 million euros collected during various events, i don't even call these concerts, they are various actions, performances, shows, for example, as in the netherlands, in amsterdam , in utrecht, etc. in iceland carries frokids e-e for of ukrainian children uh in reykjavik uh in global city the now in new york uh washington well that is, these are all different events but all of them are aimed in one way or another at helping ukraine, ukrainians, ukrainian children, the military, they are very much with me they talked so that maybe they will be there and say glory to ukraine because i say yes and what is that

and well, even there was such a thing, you know and i, i had such a chance when there were the last 2 seconds vanya what is important to you not mine mine glory to ukraine glory to the heroes of ukraine so they did it so that you know it wasn't even there opportunities to cut well, everything is like that, like everything, and it’s by berming. and i knew that well, they won’t cut the last chord, well, it’s impossible, here and there and here, all the different events, you know, they are, well, it’s just, well, a very large number of people and foundations and all -everyone, everyone, who is joining now, i just remembered that they perceive it differently, they want you not to say glory to ukraine, how do you travel around

europe a lot now, how do you see if ukrainian is understood at all here in europe today and who understands better but i was lucky that everyone i'm with cooperated absolutely 100%, they understood. and you know, there was constant support, there was a hug, the word was there. glory to ukraine, i don’t know how much, it’s all just a drop in the ocean. i understand that all these meetings, events, concerts are all just some small parts of one big puzzle somehow we gather together but i choose this path because i have no other home i have one country i have one goal to return home how do i feel without roots

now because i am constantly moving moving moving but there is no grounding i used to come from concerts from travels you come home yes you come you are inspired but you came home to your to your apartment i don't know where everything is there every little maybe unimportant detail is yours you are going now so you will be in ukraine on independence day i want to go and for me it is very it's important to spend this day at home, convey this despair when you see these pictures every day, these stories, how they raped, how they cooked, how they killed, do you think well, there is a husband, there is a limit,

i don't know what should he call the people who came? on our land, which is being done to us for no reason, but just for no reason, did i have everyone, i ask myself a question for you, it’s more painful because you lost your homeland more than once , uh, how did you see the end of this war, russia, right? is ready to fall behind ukraine they are trying to destroy everything, but under the root, the identity, the nation, the will of everything how do you see the end at all, or is this the only victory? i don't know the others. and what does victory mean - it's the return of all, uh, all of ukraine , because don't let's not let's to deceive oneself

even some kind of option like well, it's just not, well, i'm not dividing it, but let's even give a part of it. well, this is already. let's give this. and this will remain for us and we'll continue to live on. well, this is a lie. it's a lie. it is an example for the whole world, how we fight for the right to live on our land, and i have met different people, who understands now that ukraine is so alive, a living wall, a living shield for everything, for the whole of europe, who really has the mind understands that and it is not just words and it is not just us who write what uh in

we are being taken away by our hands and feet no, this is really an element in this world that people, you have to unite now to stop it's just total injustice - injustice in front of this world and help us fight glory to ukraine heroes glory to ukraine you can watch the full version of this interview with myroslava gongadze and the singer jamala on our youtube page. and last

week it was one year since the united states began withdrawing troops from afghanistan after what took control of the country, the caliber of journalists of the fatimihoseins managed to escape from captured kabul thanks to the ukrainian military psychologist irina androg, so fatimata and her family ended up in kyiv, but six months later facemite irina had to flee from the war again, our colleague ksenia turkova filmed a documentary about the story of two women about united by one tragedy. the short version of this unique story continues thanks to the fact that the ukrainian military came to afghanistan. i am here now and i am safe, that is, they saved you. that's right, fatima came to the russian embassy in washington for an action in support of ukraine, according to a woman, the horrors of war that she recently experienced in her homeland are now being repeated in ukraine. my parents could not

imagine that war would come to ukraine at the cost of 28 years. belongs to the hazaras, this is an ethnic group that is considered one of the most oppressed in afghanistan, that in the 90s they were persecuted and killed by tabi facemi, unlike many afghan women, managed to get education, she collaborated with the american publication usa today until kabul was under the rule of the taliban. as fatima herself says, she knows what it's like to be forced to flee from every country. this was the moment when i realized that the state is gone. all i could think about was how to save myself. how can i save myself? myself to my family, staying here. to be honest, i didn't think so much about myself as about my father, because he served in the army for almost 11-12

years exactly. that that's what i had in kyiv, it's so calm and measured. while there is no one there is fresh air and only people with dogs are walking and that was the beauty of morning kyiv kyiv iryna andruh - a ukrainian military psychologist, she was also forced to flee from the war with her family in her homeland in kyiv, they know irina wonderful, she traveled all over the world, and since the 14th year she was negotiating with terrorists in donbas so that the ukrainian military could take the bodies of those who died last year in august, irina found out about profutima, i had a call i got a call from a person whom i met in 2019, we came together to study at the nato school in germany, he recruited me at my time, it was around eight in the morning, he was in the usa, that is, i understood that the person is now deep in the night and says my girlfriend is stuck in afghanistan, she is a journalist, she can’t get out, she worked for us, people are now in great danger, i say ok, the tents are passport

data, i will think about how we can help, because i knew that ukraine had already organized the evacuation flight of iryna in coordination with the american military and the usa today team organized the evacuation of fatimsk, the most difficult thing was to get to the ukrainian plane, the airport was under control, and liviv, at least several times, miraculously escaped death and was already despairing. because her words were in terrible tension when she texted me i'm sure i won't survive i'll die here then i thought my heart would break i thought my heart would break at such a moment suck it to go back home at the moment when we had already decided to return home, a ukrainian military man called me for the first time, he said only two phrases and i bribed the darkness to come to you where are you and all this

iryna met fatima in kyiv and immediately brought her home later she went to kabul in person to evacuate the family of fatima, her parents, her brother and little sister to ukraine. at that time, friendly kyiv seemed like a place of salvation from the horrors of war, but on february 24, they had to experience everything anew for their feet. this is definitely a horror for them. repeating that it's just terrible, they no longer know where to evacuate so that there is no war. fatima herself left kyiv before the full-scale invasion to study and work in the united states, but her family remained in ukraine. now khatima is studying at the university of maryland. she dreams of being an investigative journalist, but so far, her strongest desire is to see her parents as they

left for canada. aid to ukraine was held this weekend on the west coast of the usa in los angeles. 16 artists and sculptors working in los angeles gave over a hundred of their works to help ukraine. khrystyna shevchenko attended the event . representatives of the ukrainian diaspora gather here in the ukrainian cultural center in los angeles. silent auction of about 100 creative works of artists and sculptors from los angeles who decided to help ukraine, we have 16 artists who live in los angeles, and among them we have five ukrainian artists, they give us their uh works and all the profit from the

do something to support ukraine i was in denmark for a couple months ago and was amazed by the number of ukrainian flags that were all over the city, this is the railway station, the main square, i would like to see more of this, they organized a ukrainian auction here the art center is not the first event of the organization that collects funds in various ways. last time we received musicians who are now homeless , so we try to be there where there is the greatest need. all proceeds from the auction will go to the guitar needs of ukraine from los angeles khrystyna shevchenko voice of america the central park on mangatyn already held a race in vyshyvankas, it became the beginning of a whole series of events organized this year by american ukrainians,

the founder of the ukrainian running club of new york and one of the organizers of the vyshyvanka race says that in addition to popularizing running, spreading information about ukraine has always been part of the project's mission to walk vyshyvanka to show guests to the residents of new york, who are we, what are we, tell them on the way what we are, what we are wearing, what are the embroidered clothes, who are we, of course, they will not see that we are from ukraine, we will go with flags, sing, it is possible, and that's it this is quite a symbolic event for us. stepan slutsky after the first races as a participant , he began to help. he is responsible for the routes and drawing up maps for the slaughter. he says that the event is popular among the community and last year significantly expanded the geography in addition to manhattan. the races were held in brooklyn and jersey city. he liked the idea so much that they decided this year to also hold an organization ukrainian ukrainians them and next
