russia kyiv-s russia or parva russia little russia - this is kyivan rus, so i still have a dream, whether or not it's even a dream, i think it's the duty of the deputies of the current convocation to do this and for everyone in the entire space, the information space, the public space, the political space, so that only muscovy, muscovites, and but not russians and non- russians were heard. and tell mr. serhiy about the last question of our conversation today, it is the one we ask all our guests of this project of this broadcast, after all, independence for you and victory in this war for you what does it mean to say briefly that independence was declared at the same time in development? you understand, well , in principle, i have the same thing with me, well, i left science and politics for the sake of what, for the sake of the independence of ukraine

. to one of the youth creative team, we wrote the youth law on the task of gorbachev , so to speak. this freedom on the program look at you in the forest, we spoke live, you are not coming to kyiv, but here the stalinist suffocation of brezhnev is dead to the person of shcherbytsky and that is all clear . at the first convocation of the verkhovna rada, i said that i want an independent but democratic ukraine and where is freedom, and he said no, stupid, we need you to be independent first, and then we need to be independent, i say dmytro on this , you and i differ, that is the meaning of life for me independent ukraine with european values

, which we are today and not us, or the ukrainian political class always proclaims to learn to pronounce democracy, the rule of law, human rights, to pronounce these words, the political class has learned over the years, only it does not want to implement these values, european or western values ​​in the form of human rights, the rule of law liberal true democracy and informal, which is formal in russia, belarus, because we, russia, no longer have a formal one there, but there are supposed to be elections there anyway, so the political class of ukraine does not want all these years to introduce into those and the court according to which values ​​already exist in europe, on which europe is built in the form of the european union, unfortunately, these values ​​in ukraine still remain slogans, newspaper lines, and not practical affairs of the ukrainian

political class, and maybe the victory will be the fact that ukraine will become free and legal, and first you need to win a victory over the enemy in the war, this will only make it possible to further implement european values ​​and gradually enter the european civilizational space already europeanizing ukrainians, and they need to become the majority of ukrainian society ukrainians, not all in ukraine are ukrainians despite a passport with a trident, you must be ukrainian in your heart, have the dignity of a ukrainian as a citizen of ukraine, belong, feel that you belong to the ukrainian state, and this is a ukrainian, as pylyp orlyk the ukrainian wrote again

the cossack nation has always been a cossack nation. hatred or rejection of autocracy, then i am convinced that the cossack nation, the modern cossack nation, will still enter the liberal or freedom-loving or the political and legal space that is based on freedom in all of europe. which we will protect

had the opportunity today to ask the mayor of warsaw about this and what he said about it. we all know that ukrainians are fighting for our freedom and for european values, of course warsaw and other cities in poland welcome ukrainian refugees and we want to send a message that we stand together and we will fight to help ukraine and of course we will also fight to help ukraine should become a member of the european union as soon as possible. glory to ukraine. there were an incredible number of them in warsaw today. we know that almost 300,000 ukrainians stopped in warsaw alone. let's listen

to what they told us. it's good because i'm in warsaw and i'm safe. it's actually very, very cool. and thank you very much to everyone and to the president of poland angela duda, well, thank you very much in general . i feel good, can you hurry , but personally, i am very comfortable, because it is like at home, and it is a pity that we cannot celebrate today is such and such a holiday in our country, but we are very, very happy that we can open such an opportunity in the company of ukrainians, so today the diplomatic representation of ukraine around the world simultaneously performed the national anthem of ukraine at the end of our conversation, we can listen to how it sounded in warsaw and in

to new york of ukraine, no glory, nikolay, that we are brothers of the cossack religion, it is very important, indeed, such support and unification of ukrainians, where they were not myroslava ostapa, thank you very much for the communication from warsaw and washington, myroslava gongadze was and ostap yarosh thank you and at a special meeting of the un security council held today in new york, representatives of many countries condemned russia's aggression and confirmed their commitment to the sovereignty, territorial

integrity and independence of ukraine, the representative of russia tried to block the participation of president zelensky via video link, but his position did not find support american representative linda thomas greenfield noted that russia's goals are to destroy ukraine as a geopolitical unit, but the international community will never recognize russia's attempts to change borders with the strength of ukraine today, a sad and tragic milestone is being fulfilled. 6 months after the invasion of russia into ukraine on february 24, during this devastating period, thousands of civilians were killed and injured, including hundreds of children. countless people lost their family friends and loved ones. the world witnessed serious violations of international human rights law. human rights and international norms of war and legal norms were not held accountable for these violations will never

recognize russia's attempts to change ukraine's borders by force and when world leaders come to new york next month to confirm their commitment to the un charter, they will also confirm their support for this basic principle, so how many more fictitious referenda have not been held by the illegal government that moscow is trying to establish. we will continue to defend the charter and we will not defend the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of ukraine must release the captured territory of ukraine. in order for there not to be a food crisis, russia must withdraw from our land and our sea. this is necessary so that no country in the world can ever again ignore the moon charter and conventions binding on all mankind russia must be held responsible for aggression against ukraine immediately after the start of the russian war

against ukraine in 2014 ukrainian diaspora in the us began to join efforts to help the homeland with a full-scale invasion in february or did the efforts only intensify today we are starting a series of stories about public organizations in the usa that help ukraine, and our first story about one of the most influential and well-known ukrainian associations for eight years together is managed to turn a small volunteer initiative from new york into a powerful tool for helping ukraine. across the ocean, rallies and money were collected in new york, we saw that people in ukraine

understand that they can change their future, er, they want to create their future, it was very difficult to stand still aloof because we all understood that we have resources and contacts living abroad , we wanted to be part of this team, a team that is building an independent business - in fact, independent and prosperous ukraine, when the maidan ended , says the co-founder together maria forty volunteers directed their efforts not to development in ukraine of new and modern institutions. we realized that we have built a network in rural america that could give us their time in order to invest in these institutions and invest in people very quickly er, well, this movement took off together in america because there was, er, people began to trust us because they clearly saw who gave the money and

where it went, we created a google scratch shit that was open to everyone, of course we closed the names of donors who did not want to disclose their donation, but this file still exists, it is now a part of our history and ah, hmm, as it were, this openness is what gave us this trust , together they began to build a network of partners in ukraine until february 24, the organization played a role platforms for implementation projects in cooperation with public organizations in ukraine, among other things, she supported talented children and helped improve the qualifications of ukrainian doctors , as well as provide education to veterans, if we have a group of volunteers who have a project, they present it to our board and they present the idea of ​​the opportunity, who are their partners in ukraine or they are the people who will implement it in ukraine, present the

budget if we if we as a team understand that this is important this is important for this project and we help e-e we help with information resources we are looking for other volunteers the team for the full-scale invasion of russia in ukraine worked together with up to a hundred volunteers after february 24, several thousand people joined the organization, the amount of collected funds increased from 250,000 per year starting from 2014 up to 60 million, which were collected over the past five months , the president of the organization, to the number wars, if there are different people, different approaches, different examples, but mutual respect for one another, then we can really do what we do, eight years of preparation were ready, we had quite another thing, he is a bit of a sculpture , what are these first flows of funds, they did not know

what to do, even for a long time did not have a plan to engage in tactical medicine. did you think it would take longer? do you think it would look different, but there were already stars with various organizations cooperating at the moment, efforts together zip focused on tactical medicine and the provision of ukrainian military drones and communication, the organization opened warehouses in new jersey and lviv, where aid is sorted and sent to the holders of first aid kits and other equipment , according to maria soroka, groups of volunteers deliver them to ukraine since the beginning of the war together almost 450 tons of aid, there is still a lot of lobbying for the interests of ukraine in the usa, i have more effective work of the organization, i opened an office in washington so that you are close to the federal government of the country, as if we, unfortunately, a non-profit organization, they can purchase weapons and we don’t want to do this , so how can we

influence this process, it’s conversations with our representatives in washington, and this kind of mini-startup is being built between within the borders together here if, again, a project that has a team, that has a leader, that has a budget, that has vision and goals for the year, the team covers a specific e-e conversation, communication, and that is building these relationships with congressmen in washington, but also with voters across america, if ah because we understand what what is important for a congressman is that the people in their states are worried about ukraine. they are happy when their representative votes for laws that help ukraine allocate money for ukraine. kristo is one of the representatives of the lobbying team headed by maria soroka. for several years, he lived and worked in ukraine, among other things and in donetsk , when a full-scale war began, submitted

his candidacy or join together ukraine is fighting for the establishment of itself as a completely independent state, a country not under the influence of russia since the 90s. i see it as the colonial war, the struggle of ukraine for the rejection of colonial power, therefore, from this point of view, it is very important for me to tell this story and help ukrainians, the war also changed the information with volunteers, now part of the people who will be organizations on a permanent basis receive scholarships with large sums of money, a great responsibility passes and we cannot just talking. we are just volunteers, we work for the good of ukraine. if this is serious work, we have a responsibility to donors and to the american state. but the most important thing is our responsibility to the ukrainian people because if we have a targeted and correct and as in america they say and

user to provide the things that we say. and this is if, well, this is a huge amount of work while the war continues, together they will continue to help ukraine when the war is over, maria soroka shares her plans, the organization and its members and volunteers will be actively involved in the reconstruction of the country from new york iryna solomko voice of america ukrainian cuisine plays a significant role in the preservation and spread of ukrainian culture even in dmytro martsenyuk the real ambassador of ukrainian cuisine in the united states on the eve of independence day, my colleague kateryna licenova not only talked with dmytro about the role of traditional cuisine during the negotiations and his struggle on the culinary front and she also prepared ukrainian american dumplings and burgers together with the chef. currently, ukraine is celebrating its
