five three two one fire we will watch the program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america time there in the studio nataliya leonova congratulations , there is bipartisan support for continuing to financially support ukraine in the future, said democratic senator and member of the ukraine support group in the senate amy klobuchar, who is in ukraine, with the co-chairman of the support group, republican senator rob portman, the minister of defense of the 27 eu countries discussed the creation of a special training program for the ukrainian military, they are completing the second day

of informal consultations in prague where they agree on the next steps of military and financial aid to ukraine france and germany published a joint communiqué in which they expressed their opposition to the complete ban on issuing tourist visas to russians, this issue was also addressed in prague by the heads of foreign policy departments of the eu countries, our european correspondent follows the events in the czech capital joining us live from london bohdan tsyupin congratulates bohdan so, bohdan, the head of the diplomat is already borel announced his intention to launch a new program the training of the ukrainian military, tell us about this initiative. and how exactly it differs from those programs. it is really worth reminding that the united states also trains the ukrainian military, and until now there were separate training programs in france and germany. we also know and talked a lot about the

huge training program for the ukrainian military here . in great britain, from where i will talk to you , and it was this program on british military bases that became international when a number of countries joined it, but what the ministers of defense discussed was 27 countries of the european union, and let me remind you that britain is not currently a member of the eu, they talked about a joint program, and according to the supreme representative of the european union for foreign affairs and security, joseph borel , it is about using different specialization and different capabilities of the countries, because we will remind you again that the european union is a union of countries very, very different in size and

capabilities, from a nuclear-armed country, a member of the un security council, to france, for example, estonia the population of which does not reach two million, that is, these are very different countries, and the fact that they can participate in helping ukraine in different ways was also spoken today by mr. guns, it is she who can best teach them how to use them, but the army functions as a complex mechanism, and the ukrainian ministry of defense explained to us the needs for the near, medium and long term and some of the needs that we heard about today it can be satisfied better by combining the capabilities of the member countries so that each can use its specialization of

high-level training, organization of supplies, medical aid, protection against radioactive and chemical weapons, this cannot be done overnight, but we need to provide an army that needs to fight for a long time against the background announced by the ukrainian military leadership. counteroffensive of the ukrainian army in the south. what statements from the europeans are we hearing about further steps of armed assistance, are we ready europeans should continue to make ukraine in its counteroffensive. natalia, we just heard p. borel saying that europe should help ukraine so that its army is ready for effective activity for a long time. it is obvious that now , in fact, everyone understands that this russian war in ukraine will not end. as for the specific offensive of ukrainian troops, which

is reported in the kherson region , it does not say much about it, which is not surprising, because even the ukrainian military and ukrainian officials the representatives urge not to speculate too much around this topic, but the phrase "we will support ukraine as long as it is needed" is now being heard equally loudly, in fact, on both sides of the atlantic ocean. bohdan, the second part of the defeat of the meetings is informal consultations between the ministers of foreign affairs, in particular, regarding the visa regime for russians here, unlike the military aid you talked about, in ukraine there is no access, we do not see germany and france against a complete ban on issuing tourist visas to russians, the baltic countries finland, denmark, on the other hand, frankly says that they do not want to see russian tourists in their country as they argue their positions and what a

compromise can be, so there is no agreement about a compromise, we spoke earlier when covering this topic, namely that it is likely that parts of the simplified visa regime of the european union with russia, that is, it is obvious that it will be more difficult for russian citizens to get a visa, it may cost more, there is no agreement, and today these differences were confirmed by the president of germany, analina berbok she emphasized once again that her country and france , the other largest country in the eu, believe that this should not be done. these words are not only about well-known journalists from well-known opposition figures, but also that students at universities should have the courage

to get information in other places, i believe that in prague we will find the right solution that will take into account what worries our baltic neighbors who have direct borders with russia and who should definitely be worried and will also take into account our views and opinions in order to punish those who dare to speak out against the regime, it is only worth adding that now in the european press, in particular, commentators are discussing that we see a clear reluctance of the european union to advance to any further sanctions, further punitive actions against russia, statements in ukraine, and the question arises and what kind of sanctions will europe be ready to proceed with? for this information, let me remind you that our european correspondent bohdan

tsyupan was in direct contact with us from london. to ban entry about this in an interview with our colleagues from radio svoboda, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, said radio svoboda spoke with the minister on the day of the start of the informal meetings of the ministers of foreign affairs of the european union in prague, collective responsibility when everyone is automatically guilty due to the actions of one person e this is wrong. but that is why it is necessary to preserve the window of opportunity for real opponents of putin for dissidents and for humanitarian reasons or according to the procedure of granting refugee status to preserve them the possibility of going to europe, but here is this narrative that this is putin’s war. this is just self-deception. is it russian soldiers who kill and rape? is it putin? no, it’s russian citizens. is it their relatives who

support their participation in the war and inspire them? and i say, well done, let's pee there, khokhlov. and this is what putin is doing. no, this is what specific citizens of russia are doing. activists of the new york brooklyn community are demanding the immediate renaming of one of the streets in the zed avenue district. in their opinion, the liter z has become a symbol of russia's military aggression against ukraine and should be cleaned and the streets should be renamed in honor of the ukrainian president, will zelenskyi avenue appear in new york voice of america correspondents met with the author of the idea yuriy mamon tells us well, how is it, we live like this, we live in america and we have a swastika to every rosie for a mile almost six months ago, the letter z on

brooklyn road signs did not attract any attention, the letter denoted an unremarkable street in alphabetical order, as has been the case since ancient times in this part of new york, however, after february 24 all changed literally on the second or third day, when on the second or third day when the war began, there were shots of a column of tanks with the letter z, here it became clear that this letter is used as a swastika. his native ukraine is especially against this letter z, which is on road signs and on shops and on residential buildings edward himself is from kharkiv and everything that happens there causes him pain and anger when i i saw how they bombed the building i went to school by for 10 years, it hurts, it’s incomprehensible, it’s completely absurd that russia is destroying cities, villages and people in

ukraine and people in ukraine to rename zet avenue zelenskyi avenue and a bunch of petitions initiated by edward with the required number of signatures so far, but from the city council to the request about renaming the official responsible for infrastructure sent the following answer although i definitely agree that zelensky should be celebrated for his incredible courage is not allowed in new york to name streets after living people is explained by the fact that a person's legacy after his death is safe, he cannot do anything to mark it. we do not want to name a street after someone without having a full understanding of the person's achievements throughout his life, he is an ideal leader on today is super inspiring in this workshop of his criteria and his vision of zelensky's achievements and his figure in the line of miniatures of famous american politicians, he is the first foreign leader to be awarded such an honor honesty in

he has a real power that catches the eye, but he represents the opposite of what we are used to associate with politics. the amount needed for the production of figures of the ukrainian president was collected on the internet in just three hours. in support of ukraine regarding the possible renaming of zed avenue, residents of brooklyn have different opinions, the ukrainian sign should be here it would be right, it is necessary for the people who suffer there i think our country should do much more for them instead of this sign. i don't know anything without the letter z. maybe it's in honor of the hospital that's nearby. i sympathize with all those who suffer and i'm against the war, but i've been living in this area for a long time. i like this zet i like how it is,

despite the lack of unanimity among the residents of brooklyn, due to the spirit of ukrainians in new york, a ukrainian path appeared near this street, the city council approved the name, the mayor signed and the plaque was installed on august 24 on the independence day of ukraine, this is at the crossroad at the intersection of oceana avenue and ara avenue. when i was driving here, i saw this. this is not the first time an activist notices such pranks in his neighborhood. a black z is over graffiti in the colors of the ukrainian flag. i know that there are many people who support me, i know. that there are many people who support the war in new york, in the same brooklyn, they think that everything is fine and it should be now with the brooklyn activist. another task is to find those who will spit on the flag of ukraine and come up with another way to perpetuate it in new york the name of president zelensky well, he is still such a hero yuriy mamon nina vyshneva voice of america at the beginning

of a full-scale war in ukraine created the spend vide ukraine platform which united 190 ukrainian companies and such initiatives to support the ukrainian economy by promoting world-class ukrainian goods and services to the whole world and help companies find customers abroad, the founders of the platform are sure to buy ukrainian - this is another way to support ukraine during the war, how does the ukraine spinbot work and which companies are included see further in the story of lesya bakalets ukraine has been fighting for independence and territorial integrity for six months not only on the battlefield but also on the economic front business is trying to survive in war conditions at the beginning of a full-scale invasion in the country they created a non-profit organization spend with ukraine the ukrainian goal is the promotion of ukrainian goods and services around the world, we are focused on e-e companies that create some

products or services for the end e-e consumer that is, for example, you will not find there the leading ukrainian agricultural producers on this site, or er, manufacturers of some metal spare parts, but these are companies that make modern electronics, and means of promotion, these are fashionable brands, of which there are many in ukraine and which are absolutely world-class, now more than 190 ukrainian companies are represented on the platform, some of them have long been known outside the country, but often not everyone guesses that the product originates from ukraine, our main product is klimak, this product is it helps your e.e. macbook e.e. to remain new , that is, it frees up space, removes the virus e.e. looks for problems there, and ukrainians are surprised, and foreigners are ukrainians, because they say oh, i use it, and

we didn’t even know that we are here on the next street , you are here the companies on the site are divided into categories, for example, in the education section there are several applications for learning foreign languages ​​from ukrainian developers. one of the most popular service preplays. i think i have more of a platform for learning a language with a teacher and tutor online in in the format of one-on-one lessons in the world, we are talking about hundreds of thousands of students who study on the platform know in the usa and about the company respicher, which deals with synthesized sound. last year they won four emmys. it's called voice cloning, you could hear us on mandavorka where we did the voice of the young man skyvod ubokov boba fetts in oba ivan kapinobi

this year the respetter is not the first year at the international market with their help , even may musk spoke in ukrainian, it is a shame, this is a tragedy, but we are impressed by how brave you all are. at the same time, the company notes that with the advent of the spend with ukraine platform, they gained new customers. a platform appeared and we were among the first to appear on it, traffic to the site really increased, and we constantly saw on the transitions that they were from the platform from fantasy ukraine and from there they really were purchase of one of the ethnic home embroidered dresses worn by president zelenskyy was later sold at auction for $100,000. now there is such a demand for it in ukraine and abroad that the company does not have time to feel the required number of production models has increased fourfold, so that the american chamber of commerce in ukraine says that local business has shown that it can survive even in conditions of war, ukrainians have shown this

resilience and world business is a punky remark . continue to deliver cash to small a-a remote cities that even in such cities a-a small ones always have cash in atms and the banking system works, the internet works, i have said more than once that in military kyiv it is better in some peaceful cities, and mobile communication works, and companies that provide elevator services are working, that's why andriy gunder insists that american companies should get ready to invest in ukraine we say look at what the ukrainians are doing some amount they show reveal during and during the war then imagine what will be the opportunity to do business with ukrainians when there will be peace for the platform with ukraine to establish an international partnership is also one of the tasks, says they expect that the representative office of ukrainian companies will appear abroad, a distributor of ukrainian goods will be established, and

there is already a proposal to open several salons in the usa and europe. the ukrainian aviator of knowledge has a special place among american volunteers and benefactors, however, how ordinary toy figures of ukrainian pilots are turned into ammunition for the forces of the armed forces of ukraine in the story of kateryna lisunova » .»

fructors and almost every legendary element of this war turned into miniature models blue and yellow flags sell for $5. figures of pilots and soldiers for 50 a little more expensive set with hips and walls ukrainian fighters and helicopters from three hundred to six hundred dollars, the most expensive constructor is more than $1200. is a model of the ukrainian dream, as of august 20, the total amount of donations reached almost $1,060,000. most of the brick-many funds are transferred to the windman fund

for ukraine we decided that we no longer want to give money to the red cross if they say that they will help both russia and ukraine, this is not what we are raising funds for, then we were introduced to the vinmenfo ukraine project and we thought that it was precisely related to what we do we don't buy barrectors with our donations, but at least now we pay for safety equipment, rescue helmets , communication equipment, tools to repair aircraft in dangerous conditions, the organization was founded in early april of this year in the city of france, state california was founded by pilots of the united states air force who conducted training in ukraine, as well as other american and ukrainian figures. my husband is a military pilot of the united states air force a-a who

worked for more than 7 years with ukrainian pilots a-a we together we started thinking about how to help what is happening and we decided to open e-e nomprafed and one of our main sponsors of permanent sponsors is the company prikmania a-a which provides donations a every sunday a sufficiently large amount of a-a from 2,000 to almost 7,000 $, because now the helicopter pilots themselves really need help . jonathan is better known in ukraine by the call sign jersey for eight years, he trained ukrainian aviators, in particular, as part of the clear sky and safe sky exercises. now this is the largest international training in history of independent ukraine. last year, as a lieutenant colonel of the air force, jersey retired, and already this spring he became a co-founder of windmen free ukraine and everything they

need most we cannot provide them modernized aircraft and training on these aircraft are needed but the things we provide will expand their capabilities including their ability to work at night the ability to navigate even when satellite systems and other systems cannot provide navigation all this can be found on the internet but my experience helps to determine what exactly will be needed the fighter pilot is told that thanks to such cooperation, they have already received helmets, oxygen masks, life jackets and other protective equipment, as well as satellite radio stations gps navigators, special equipment for the maintenance of aircraft, their repair and restoration, we read that many funds help precisely with such global strategic problems, both with units of the armed forces and civilians, and with such specific, very narrow-profile needs, it is quite difficult to help. that is, it is necessary to understand e technical nuances

, what exactly needs to be found, how to deliver it, and so on. that's why this is a specialized fund. it turned out to be very useful for us, and now they help units all over ukraine that sometimes the representatives of the brikmenia insist on the decline of the information coverage of the war in the international media. they are not going to stop and will produce new ukrainian constructors to collect funds. i also putin hopes that everyone will get tired of hearing about the war in ukraine and we will start to ignore it, but we will continue to remind people, i am looking forward that day when we will be able to say that this is how we joined the victory kateryna lisonova dmytro savchuk voice of america washington volunteering in ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale aggression of russia there was a significant scale to do it much easier if you are a blogger always creating in the united states anya kostyuchenko and

pavel sukhodolsky talked with such an activist vladyslav stadnyk has been running an english-language video blog of heavy metal on youtube for three years friends among his interlocutors are more famous representatives of this genre of music it is interesting how only one track causing so many events, vladyslav's english-language blog has tens of thousands of fans in the united states. while still a student, he went to boston to study economics and stayed after graduation, to work in the united states, his personal plans were changed by the annexation of crimea by the russians and the capture of donbas, then the man decided that he needed more in his homeland, the large-scale invasion of russia did not change vladyslav's decision, ask yourself the question, if your country starts tomorrow

, where will you run? you will take up arms, you will defend, and if wherever you run, they will also start bombing what will you do , raise your hands and start, will you start to give up ? from the moment you heard the first siren call to help the ukrainian army in the first months of the war, vladyslav founded a volunteer fund and named it steel wings. now, together with like-minded people, he provides the military with protective equipment, and his experience helps bloggers in this. most of my donations abroad actually go from blog precisely because of my heavy metal audience. and these people are very active because they trust you. they know who you are. this is very important and
