america's time and presenter ostap yarysh the united states does not consider it appropriate to declare russia a state sponsor of terrorism, american president jobain said this while answering journalists' questions, commenting on the president's answer, white house spokeswoman karinjanpier explained that this decision is final, according to her, the administration believes that it is not will be the most effective way to bring russia to justice and that such a decision can have undesirable consequences we will talk more about this with yulia yermolenko, who joins us from the white to yury, i congratulate you. i congratulate you. so, yulia, how does the administration comment on such a decision and what undesirable consequences are they talking about ? that do not consider the recognition of russia as a state sponsor of terrorism as the most significant and powerful

way to bring russia to justice indicates that this can have negative consequences directly for ukraine. this may weaken global efforts for global coordination to hold russia accountable and may also harm the efforts of the united states to support and strengthen ukraine's position at the negotiating table if it actually comes to this. as the president said, we do not think this is the most effective or the strongest way to bring russia to justice, and we already such a definition can have unintended consequences for ukraine and the world, for example, according to humanitarian experts and non-governmental organizations with whom we spoke, it can seriously affect the ability to provide

aid in certain regions of ukraine. it can also force critical humanitarian and commercial players to refuse assistance food export, which helps to mitigate the global food crisis and may jeopardize the black sea agreement, which has already helped to export more than a million tons of ukrainian of food to world markets, in particular the countries of the horn of africa, which are on the brink of starvation , it could also undermine our unprecedented multilateral conditions, which are very effective in bringing putin to justice, and also undermine our ability to support ukraine at the negotiating table. when did president biden directly make such a decision and did he convey this decision directly to president zelensky or to the americans of congressmen who called on president biden to make such a determination to recognize russia as a state

sponsor of terrorism at the same time karin jeanpierre today also emphasized that the united states and partners are already punishing russia for its actions for its war in ukraine and also emphasized that russia is already undergoing such self-restraints what would and were during the recognition of russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, in particular she emphasized that international sanctions and export restrictions are already doing so that it actually reduces russia's opportunities to get supplies of weapons, and because of that, it is already asking for help from such countries as iran and north korea, talking about north korea, they say that sanctions and losses are now forcing russia to buy weapons in this country, in particular , what do we know about this with a request to north korea for the purchase of millions of rounds of ammunition from the

artillery and today the state department and the pentagon confirmed this information , the pentagon does not say specifically what stage these negotiations are at or whether any have already taken place operations, money transfer, direct purchase, or what capacities are we talking about, but the very fact of such a request and what it means from the point of view of war. this is how it was explained today in pentagon, we see signs that russia has turned to north korea with a request for ammunition, at the moment i cannot provide more details, but this demonstrates and indicates the situation in which russia found itself from the point of view of its material and technical support and the ability to maintain it in the context of definitely ukraine. as already said, we estimate that on this front in things are not going very well and the fact that they are turning to north korea is a sign that they have problems on the security front

. in ukraine brought moscow and beijing closer, according to the report of the center for strategic and international studies in washington, the results of the study warn that russia and china will potentially support each other in future conflicts , kateryna lisunova will tell in more detail from other countries , russia's guest of honor is china, the exercises were broadcast on the state television of both countries, the practical interaction of the russian fleet with the naval forces of the people's liberation army of china reached a qualitatively new level. this contributes to ensuring global and regional stability and security china and russia do not yet have a

formal military alliance, but continue to deepen bilateral military ties , according to a report by the center for strategic and international studies of research in washington, an important part of deepening relations is arms trade, however, moscow and beijing have difficulties in this matter, believes boni linz, one of the authors of the e-e report about 70% of the total amount of weapons china imports from russia, but in the middle of the 2000s, china began to focus more on domestic production of its own weapons to reduce dependence on russia, on the other hand, russia has become more concerned about china's theft of its technology over the past few years china's military imports to russia mainly related to the support of chinese aviation programs china has expressed tacit support for the russian invasion of ukraine sees a mirror image between the problems of brine

relations with the west and nato and the problems that beijing itself is currently facing in relations with the united states and their allies and partners in the indo-pacific region, according to the report of the center for strategic and international studies in washington, the war in ukraine brought russia closer to china, i do not claim that, for example, russia will personally intervene in china's conflicts with one of their neighbors, but moscow can provide other forms of support, including development and political support. the report also says that china's military capabilities are catching up with or surpassing russia's. currently, russia's invasion of ukraine has stalled. the authors of the report say that russia's failure could force beijing to review its military relations with moscow. kateryna lisonova henry ridwell dmytro savchuk voice of america washington and at the

moment another meeting of the un security council is underway regarding the situation at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, this time the briefing was initiated by russia in addition to the security council member countries, the meeting is attended by un secretary general antonio buterash, as well as the director of the ministry of foreign affairs, fael grossi, who recently returned from a mission to the zaporizhzhia npp. the meeting can be held in the un apartment, followed by my colleague iryna solomko , who is now joining our broadcast. more details about the current meeting of the security council and the results of the megate inspection. we already know the results of the mission to zaporizhzhia, as you already mentioned, the key speakers of this meeting will be mr. hotel arash and mr. there are threats and now mr. hotelsh is just speaking and in principle it is expected that he is on duty, he emphasized that a so-called dominalization zone must be created around the station, that is, the military must leave the territory of the station and in principle he is also expected to talk about

whatever - what kind of actions are related to nuclear that harm the nuclear safety and physical safety of the station. they should be inadmissible in the context of mr. gros, it is also known that he will talk about his report because today you are flashing published its next report on the state of all nuclear facilities in ukraine. that is, all nuclear power plants and, of course, more attention is paid to those facilities that are already affected by the war. that is, most of the plants are the chernobyl power plant . - this is rivne, but of course in the focus of key attention is the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant because the mission as we know , part of the city is still at the station, parts of the mission have returned, and in particular, the report notes that at least that is, there was no related to the information that the shop gave to russia, this is a very important story, besides, at the same time, there is a question about shelling, that is, they are recorded there,

but it is not indicated who exactly is shelling from which side, and at the same time there is a clear consultation about the fact that it is occupied by the soviet union by russian troops and this constitutes an obstacle to nuclear safety . in addition, there is also evidence of the fact that russian equipment is located on the territory of the station, moreover, it is located in the so-called physical and nuclear safety zones, and among the recommendations is that a very clear, clear call for this equipment to be taken out of these zones , in addition, electrical workers are also mentioned. this ukrainian e-e specialists and it is noted that they are in fact all the time under terrible psychological pressure. the report proposes to create protection zones to ensure nuclear and physical security, which is essentially a call to occupy the station, as the

ukrainian authorities comment on the results of the mission. i know you had a chance oleksiy danilova, the secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine, to talk about this, it can be noted that recently it is the actions of the un and megatet in the context of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant that cause them to have more such critical statements. for example, journalists in ukrainian together from the place, although there is an agreement on this. and also, for example, the panda neil in a conversation with me. he talked about what actually, well, that is, he says that the actions of the world and in general the world's reaction to what is happening to this, well, nuclear terrorism in the 21st century. that is, they are not enough, and that is, finally, in addition to concern , there must be some concrete actions, because the price of such silence, yes, or inaction, is too high , and now you can listen mr. danilov's position on this issue is a positive process, so uh,

we went to this event, we stayed there and my representatives understand that the object is disturbed there, and the dangers that are transmitted to this day are in their hands and now the world thinks that nothing is happening, somehow well, as for security, i just understand that they came to see, uh, two or three hours later, they turned around, they are stressing that there is nothing to do, this should be done by the specialists of all countries on the territory of which the ss is located. the country has the name ukraine and psychotherapy cannot because we are responsible for this process, but get the

terrorist group from there in general, they say something about this, too, and as the general secretary of the hotel, antony, said vocally during his speech, he once again spoke about it, moreover, he actually proposed two ways and how it can be achieved, this is the first step that should be taken for this. russian and ukrainian troops have to promise that they will not fire, that is, they will not take any actions there that could cause physical or nuclear damage, that is, violate the physical or nuclear security of the facility, in addition to that of course, we are talking about this, that is, there should be such achievements, the agreement, the demilitarization of the perimeter , which this and that should be ensured accordingly and obviously, that is, it also includes obligations on the part of the russian side regarding the withdrawal of russian

troops from the station, but from the other side it should be a commitment from the ukrainian side that they, that is, the military, will not try to take the station under their control, that is, at least this is what was voiced now during the speech of the general secretary also exists, that is, exists there is another point of view that certain such missions should be created to support the un peace and in order to still control this situation, but unfortunately even the ukrainian authorities say that this is impossible without a decision of the security council, and taking into account the fact that russia is there then it will not actually be decided at its meeting, but let's see what happens, if you look at the decision -making procedure, the russian federation has the right to speak or not irina thank you, i will remind you

that irina solomko from the un headquarters in new york, and our next story is about a family that had to flee from the russian world twice. olena kurta once taught law and wrote a dissertation in horlivka, donetsk region, later she worked in kryvyi rih as the director of a kindergarten, which i opened myself. today, she and her family live in the same a room in a small town near kraków, and the woman herself earns a living by cleaning hotels , and a story from poland will be told by tatyana voorzko . today, 12 rooms for arrival and 18 stays must be cleaned for those people who already live in the hotel with there are still 11 or 12 of us, and of them only two poles, for sure our ukrainian women like to work. but until they have no
