about the breakthrough that happened here. with her family, because there was simply no communication in mariupol, and there was no way to get to her son under the shelling, he, together with his wife and six children, lived separately in a high-rise building on troitska street 51 more moreover, his wife was pregnant and was about to give birth, so there was no question of evacuation. she was on february 24 without 15.11. in the city, during the shootings, everyone was hiding in the basement , and on the night of march 12, it was more or less calm, so the wife and children went to the storeroom on her floor, and the father made his bed in the hallway. большой he laid the bed even more easily himself and these all flowed

to him without their father. they could not leave the four children of tyana timofey tory and dimir with their father in the apartment. in the morning, a projectile hit the house of the dmitren family, a powerful explosion rang out. it is known that the mother and three children were injured and were taken to the hospital. the apartment is still unknown. well, the national police started contacting me and they immediately said that there is no list of the dead. our mariupol police also said that there is no list. if anyone can help find them , i am asking especially the residents of occupied mariupol, who may now see me on social networks, to look carefully at the photos of the

is asking the us congress to approve an additional 11 and 7 billion dollars for ukraine, which will include money for military aid for development and economic support, another two billion, the administration is asking to be allocated for the stabilization of energy prices to compensate for the consequences of russian aggression requests part of a larger package that includes funding for u.s. health care and other needs for now the administration says it has already used about three-quarters of the $40 billion in preliminary funding for ukraine that congress had previously praised a vote on the new aid must be held by the end of september to it will need the consent of the majority in the house of representatives and the us senate to adopt it, but the g7 countries will introduce a price limit on russian oil and also limit services for its transportation such the price ceiling will help reduce russia's income and its ability to finance the war in ukraine , says the joint statement of the finance ministers of the group, released following the meeting in germany.

today, we confirm our political intention to finally agree and implement a complete ban on services that allow the sea transportation of oil and petroleum products of russian origin in the world, the provision of such services will be allowed only if oil and petroleum products are purchased at or below the price set by a broad coalition of countries who adhere to and implement such a price cap. the us administration welcomed such a decision, white house spokeswoman karin john pierre said that the global cap on oil prices would help achieve two goals: first, to significantly reduce putin's largest source of income for his military treasury, and second, to ensure that oil continued to enter the market at lower prices, and we will talk more about this topic with bohdan tsyupan, who is also joining us from london . ceilings we currently have few details. and

the so-called political solution of the seven countries has actually been announced. these are the usa, canada, japan, and also the countries of europe , great britain, france, germany, and italy. oil is higher on the international market than a certain defined limit. obviously, this will be of great importance. but how to implement these restrictions? of certain maritime transportation services, in particular , we are talking about the marine transportation insurance market, namely the transportation of oil by tankers, since a large

part of these was concentrated here in london, about 95% is controlled by the london insurance exchange, so it is obvious that there is at least one serious lever here. but as i said at the moment, we are still we don't have the details and we don't even know exactly what this upper limit of the oil price will be, we only know about the goal and which was emphasized today by the french minister of finance and the representative of germany, who is now presides over the group of seven, here are his words today, the russian war threatens the energy and food security of the world at the same time, russia receives economic benefits from the uncertainties in the energy market caused by the war, now russia receives high profits from the export of such raw materials as oil, and we in the eu want to resolutely oppose this in the sixth set of sanctions

, we decided to stop importing oil and we do not want russia to benefit from those sales we want to limit russia's profits and at the same time reduce the damage for our societies, this price limit on russian oil exports is intended to reduce putin's profits and close an important source of funding for this aggressive war, at the same time we want to curb the rise in global energy prices and reduce world inflation bohdan, and how hard can this decision generally hit russia and to help stabilize international markets, well, even before the invasion, russia in the eu received about 40-45% of its budget revenues . the sale of russian oil decreased, but the prices jumped to a large extent due to the situation that

developed at the height of the russian war in ukraine, of course if the prices go down, it will be good for the importing countries and in particular the countries of the poorer countries in the world, but to a large extent it will also depend on who joins to the seven most powerful western democracies, the seven countries in particular look at china, a large importer of russian oil and gas, but china still, despite what it says that it condemns russia's war in ukraine, nevertheless he did not join the people's sanctions, another very large country, india, which has recently increased imports of russian oil, also looks at it on the one hand, india has not yet joined the sanctions, but on the other hand, india, like other consumers , would obviously be interested in paying

for russian oil oil is even less than it pays now, bohdana, if one question is how europe gives itself at all the council now with energy and what steps to achieve energy independence from russia are being discussed before the winter, now the situation has worsened due to the fact that russia announced that will not be able to resume the operation of the nord stream 1 gas pipeline, that is, the situation with the economic economic war is actually intensifying and now it looks like this. the question is who will submit eh, will the west or russia show weakness first ? in connection with london and we move on to american topics, because he made a special speech in which he declared that the united states

is at a dangerous crossroads in the struggle to preserve democracy and accused donald trump and his supporters from the maka make american movement - jobain condemned the storming of the capitol by supporters of the former president, emphasizing that extremism is a threat to the united states, he called on americans to reject extremist attitudes before the midterm congressional elections, which are scheduled for november this year, ladies and gentlemen, we cannot stand for rebellion and for america is incompatible we can not allow the normalization of violence in this country it is wrong we must reject political violence with all moral quality and convictions that this country is capable of. now we can not allow the integrity of our elections to be undermined, because this is the path to

chaos. with the fbi searches of donald trump's residence, the court in florida promises to reveal more details about the things seized during the search of the former president's estate ministry the us department of justice claims that donald trump could intentionally hide government documents from law enforcement officers, kateryna lisunova explained in detail the court case donald trump against the united states of america on august 22, trump filed a petition with the district court in the state of florida, the 45th president demands the appointment of an independent observer to verify the materials that the fbi was seized during the search of the maralaga in response to this request on the evening of august 30. the united states department of justice partially released the documents of the case in them it is said that donald trump could deliberately hide government papers from fbi officials and obstruct investigations into the improper

use of classified materials more than 320 classified documents have been seized from the maralago so far more than 100 of them were found during searches on august 8 the justice department's filing is 54 pages on the last page photos of the seized documents sheets of paper with bright writing the photo, which was secretly laid out on the floor of trump's home office, demonstrates the sensitivity of this case, according to some experts based on marked in bright orange, the documents clearly indicate that this is classified information. so there is no ambiguity here. trump denied and claimed that he declassified these papers , but they are not marked as declassified. whether the documents are classified or not, an unexpected search by the fbi in maralaga took place after

one of trump's lawyers said in june that all classified documents had been returned to the department of justice they claim that this lawyer forbade government personnel to open or examine the boxes with papers that remained in maralago, this did not give state representatives the opportunity to confirm that all classified documents were removed, such a development could create problems for trump, says lawyer bradley moss, it worsened the situation and, i think, could lead to an indictment. the fact of resistance was the concealment, there was the obstruction of the transfer of documents from place to place on everything small, as well as the assurance of the fbi in june that no more there are no documents left, but the fbi still managed to find evidence that in fact there was more information, more records, and that trump's team hid it, according to the power, due to the hiding of these documents, they can

officially bring criminal suspicion against trump, but suspicion does not guarantee a conviction of this kind of accusation can be announced only if you have a really reliable case and all the dots above have already been placed and i don’t think it will happen now but it may come to this within a few months take into account the likely political consequences due to the accusations of the former president, on the other hand, there is the issue of national security, says kyberly, well, take my point, there are many more issues that are currently weighing on the fbi, probably the cia and other units of the national security apparatus in the united states - this is how compromised we really are how serious are these violations, did donald trump take these documents out of the blue, does he have any other documents that we do not know about, and the main question is whether he provided access to these documents to our foreign enemies, donald

trump denies any wrongdoing on his part, while at the same time he does not explain why he removed secret documents from the white house, a post on social networks trump states that the search of his house was politically motivated, it is sad to watch another attack on the fbi, meanwhile, president chubaiden condemns the criticism of individual republicans directed against the fbi according to biden - they are law enforcement officers and they risk their lives doing their jobs biden also emphasized that he does not interfere in the investigation of trump's documents conducted by the ministry of justice kateryna lisonova - syndisine kostyantyn golubchyk voice of america washington this week, the last soviet secretary general and the only president of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev, died in russia, nobel peace prize laureates for the peaceful

end of the cold war were honored by a number of world leaders, but who was gorbachev for ukraine, iryna matviychuk talked about it with american professors of ukrainian origin oleksandr by motil and oksana shevel, a man of unusual vision honors the memory of mikhail gorbachev in this way. the president of the united states, joe biden, pays tribute to gorbachev for reducing the world's nuclear arsenal and withdrawing soviet troops from afghanistan . gorbachev's commitment to open the soviet borders, writes the head of the british government, boris johnson. ending at the time of putin's aggression in ukraine, his tireless dedication to making soviet society more open remains an example for all of us, professor of political science at radgara university oleksandr motil believes that gorbachev

tried to speed up reforms in the ussr, but the collapse of the union was not part of his plans, he did not want to put down destroy destroy the soviet union he wanted to preserve it now on the contrary but he didn't succeed well that's the way to say it eh great eh great merit at the same time his great tragedy because he achieved what he didn't want. and if it weren't for gorbachev , the soviet union would certainly have existed. well, for sure , for a few years, maybe a few more decades, this state with this repressive apparatus, with the army and everything else . would be to what extent russified, or is it the processes of russification in the 70s, especially the 80s, that we could be like belarus, or maybe even worse, this is the idea that ukrainians - this is something so inferior that if we

are moving towards progress, then this progress is talking in russian, a professor at tavts university in boston, oksana shevel, says that gorbachev's reforms enabled the creation of a mass movement for independence in ukraine. with gorbachev, he personally did not want this independence and spoke against it. he himself admits that he did not understand the national question in the soviet union, moreover, according to the professor kishevel it is difficult to name gorbachev as a hero of his time, she remembers how his government suppressed anti-soviet protests in several soviet republics, if we look at what is written on social networks in the baltics, what is written on social networks by georgians , even kazakhs, they remember how he used force, and hmm, submit, he is anti-soviet

protests in the republics of the former union and in georgia matvii and this is also his, so to speak, part of his memory of him professor kashevel, who herself was born in the soviet union, recalls how the government gorbachev hid the truth about the explosion at the chernobyl nuclear power plant and how she and her classmates were forced to collect garbage in radioactive kyiv, the reaction to the residents of chernobyl seems to me to be unequivocally negative. not only was this tragedy hushed up, but also the scale. in kyiv, when the radiation had already returned to e. these clouds were coming to kyiv and children, including children. i remember myself as a schoolgirl then, and we went not only to the parade, we also went to the subbotnik and gathered some there this is dirty garbage, and then i personally lost my hair. is it correct to call gorbachev a controversial person? he, like all his successors, dreamed of a union that must include ukraine. who among them,

including yeltsin, did not see the future of ukraine as fully independent and independent ? of the state in the future, of course, the difference will be in what ways this was achieved, in contrast to russian president putin, gorbachev was not ready to resort to violence, although he had such opportunities, professor kashevyi and her colleague motil, and this is already his merit, professor motil believes that modern russians underestimate gorbachev's legacy, because many of them still miss the soviet union. well, what he did was much better for the world, for ukraine, and ultimately for russia itself, but when you mean it, make sure that you it is difficult to convince them that the end of the empire is a positive thing. a week after the full-fledged invasion of ukraine, mikhail gorbachev celebrated his 91st birthday . he did not make official statements about russian aggression , however, in 2014 he declared that he supported

the annexation of crimea gorbachev died on august 30, the former general secretary will be buried on september 3 in moscow iryna matviychuk dmytro savchuk voice of america and our next story is about a family of immigrants from mariupol who in los angeles are trying to open a startup for the delivery of ukrainian cuisine in mariupol olena kuchatkova was the owner of a cafe and of a grocery store, she ran the business together with her husband until the last, until he died due to russian shelling just in the kitchen of the store, losing everything elena, along with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter moved to the usa without knowing the language and american culture, the woman decided to rely on her cooking talent and the story is told by khrystyna shevchenko

. home-made cheese with potatoes, dumplings, pancakes from cheesecakes, ms. olena prepares home-made meals so that americans can try ukrainian cuisine, she, along with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, became forced immigrants from mariupol and arrived in los angeles for two months therefore, in her native mariupol, 55-year-old olena was the owner of a cafe and a grocery store. she ran a business together with her husband until the end, without leaving the city until an enemy bomb killed her husband. there was no daylight during february. we would have gone. but we had solar panels at home, people wanted to charge phones, the stove, the oven was working, we baked bread and prepared food for all 48 days, people did not let go, pi was working. there were paddocks at home, there was grain, and we

ground it and made bread similar to borodinsky and sold it by appointment or gave it for free to those who had no money, such an exchange took place, i went to release the bread, i went to release the bread. a man with whom the woman has known for 15 years and lost the entire business, which was her life's work, shops, cafes, which were located on the passageways of azovley, burned to the ground, mrs. elena's house was also damaged, soon her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter who at that time lived in kyiv were able to take elena abroad through the crimea, then to europe and then to america, daughter-in-law inna, who became a forced migrant, says that she and elena's son had a chain of sushi bars in kyiv. we planned to open a coffee shop, but unfortunately all this stopped

and we lost the business that was in mariupol completely in kyiv, work stopped in irpen, we had a sushi bar in irpen, which was also completely destroyed by a rocket, that business in kyiv slowly started working, but it is no longer what it was before the war, and most importantly , our father died in mariupol, in los angeles they helped with housing, so they opened their food startup mama plis, which offers delivery of ukrainian food, because there is no ukrainian restaurant in los angeles, all products are prepared by ms. olena and inna accepts orders through instagram and delivers to customers. such a small business, we wrote a business plan, we are looking for an investor, because the amounts needed

to open a business here are simply not comparable to what is available in ukraine in the dreams of women in the future to open a stylish cafe with ukrainian cuisine, where ukrainian immigrant women will work, and we want to popularize ukrainian kitchen we want to promote ukrainian cuisine and with this we want to give jobs to ukrainians who find themselves in the same situation as us who find themselves in the united states and simply do not know how to live as to work mrs. olena says she is ready to work from morning to night, because cooking is her passion, which she has been doing since childhood, which is able to bring her out of the darkness of work. shevchenko bohdan shevchenko voice of america and already this saturday, september 3, we

plan to launch the artemis mission to the moon. it will consist of three stages. the first artemis 1 is an unmanned test flight of a new of the rocket-capsule system, the goal of the program is to explore the prospects for sending people to mars in the future, tatyana voorzko tells artemis , nasa's ambitious program to return people to the moon after more than fifty years, how were the last places of captivity visited the lunar surface, this is the first launch of an unmanned test flight of a space- launch system rocket and the orion capsules, which astronauts actually hope to arrive on the lunar surface , brenal rodríguez, these missions are responsible for the operation of the orion capsule, i call it the artemis generation apollo had a twin sister artemis and this our generation is paying attention to the diversity of the artemis crew we are expanding our

demographics now there won't be only white guys on the moon we are planning to create a permanent base and i think in the long term we want to go to mars eventually we have already stated that this is a stepping stone to mars da gerry, a former astronaut , is currently working on the artemis project from nor ramen, a government contractor specializing in aerospace and defense although critics criticize that the artemis budget exceeds billions of dollars and is years behind schedule , the astronaut will convince patience, the investment will pay off, it takes time to create these complex machines, but it is worth it, if you look at nasa's budget, it is less than one percent of the national budget and this program is small part of the inscription budget, for me this is work for the future. and although for now this is an unmanned test flight, when artemis alone goes on the planned six-week mission, she will be able to hand over to scientists

will show valuable information how new systems function in space, artemis-2 provides for the delivery of a crew to the moon in orbit, not to the surface, it is planned for 2024, artemis 3 will deliver astronauts to the surface of the moon if everything is according to plan in 2025 tatyana voorzko kenfor or voice of america we talk about animation festivals film group, which was founded many years ago in kyiv, in 2014 the festival changed its name and composition of participants after the full-scale resistance of russia, the situation became even more difficult in as a result, the festival was held in an extraordinary format in los angeles, and the story of angelina bagdasariano will be introduced by viktoria babinska, a well-known film critic, alik shpylyuk, presents the krok festival on the stage of the ukrainian cultural center in california , near the origins of which it was founded. in 1989, in kyiv, for many years, the

animation festival was held alternately countries in the country and russia on board ships that traveled either through the dnieper and the black sea or the volga river and so passed until the 14th year. when the famous events took place when russia captured part of of the ukrainian territory and it became clear that this festival in its old form cannot be held and it turned into a festival in the native havana in kyiv, that hand in hand mothers from all over the world sent more than a thousand works and even this year about 300 animated films came to kyiv to participate in the competition but there is no one to select them. we are in a situation when a huge number of ukrainian animators are forced to leave the country due to the aggressive actions of russia due to constant worries, missile strikes and so on constant air alarms, missile strikes, and so on
