116,000 calls from all mobile operators are free, also write to the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram on the air from washington, the program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america, time, i am yuliya yarmolenko. congratulations on the eve of the next meeting of the contact group with the defense of ukraine of the so-called rammstein format, an american expert called on the authorities the united states and partners to send all possible weapons to ukraine at the atlantic council conference, the former commander of nato's combined armed forces in europe , filipridlav stressed, ukraine is ready to host a successful counteroffensive if the west is ready to support it. he believes that the west is restraining itself

when it does not help ukraine with everything it can. there are also calls to increase aid to kyiv in the american congress, which returned to work this week. what can legislators do to support ukraine at this stage and how do they react? on the decision of the white house not to recognize russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, we will talk about it with my colleague kateryna lisunova, who is joining the broadcast from the senate katya congratulations congratulations to you yulia the day before white houses of the department said that the biden administration does not consider the designation of russia as a state sponsor of terrorism to be the most effective way to hold russia accountable for its war in ukraine and that this decision is final. how did american lawmakers react to this? resolution and whether they, on their part, can put pressure on the administration to change the decision. as you rightly pointed out , at the end of july, congress actively advocated the recognition of russia as a state that sponsors terrorism

, the authors of the resolution that directly called on the states to make such a definition are republicans in the world and democrat richard blumenthal, in the comments of the voice of america, previously stated that such a definition should be one of the most important priorities that washington must complete by the end of this year, and accordingly, the resolution the senate supported it unanimously, i.e. with one hundred percent support. resolutions democrat richelle blumenthal, answering my question about how he feels about the decision of the white house not to recognize russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, answered me as follows. i suggest quoting his answers with all my respect. was recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism, at least this was the comment made by one of the co-authors of the resolution that was already

voted in the senate regarding the further actions of the congress once communicated with steven blanco, an expert senior researcher at the institute of foreign policy studies, the latter in particular noted that and emphasized that any resolution or even a bill would not have force without the signature of the president or without the approval of the state department . at the same time, according to blanko, congress is more likely to continue the pressure on the white house with some time it may be here in some results, i suggest listening to the comment of steven blank just now congress can pass a resolution authorizing the president to declare russia a state that sponsors terrorism, but they cannot force the president to do it, even despite the great support of ukraine in the congress, i do not think that now this issue will somehow advance, at the same time, we saw that since february 24, the biden administration was constantly

under pressure to increase support for ukraine, to provide more number of weapons more help and i will not be surprised if the pressure to recognize russia as a state sponsor of terrorism continues and in the future the administration may adopt such a definition in congress people who will continue this pressure katya congress has actually returned to work after a break of several weeks, is there anything known about how the legislators plan to continue efforts to help ukraine and whether they are ready to approve, in particular , additional funding for ukraine, a request for which the white house sent to the audience on september 2, the white house called on the congress to allocate an additional 11.7 billion dollars to ukraine for security and economic assistance, since the funds from the previous packages for the seizure are already ending, at least the chinese in this statement the new aid package should be enough until december, this is stated in the white house statement and in a statement, the congress

actually, in accordance with their schedule , will start considering this issue at the beginning of next month, that is, at the beginning of october, the senate actually returned here in the opposite direction to note that the son returned to his work on this week, and the house of representatives will begin its work next week at the same time. both republicans and democrats, in public statements or in comments for voice of america, note that they are ready to continue support for ukraine, in particular, they emphasize that ukraine is fighting for democracy, which means that this is a war in support of the entire free world. and the ukrainian people, who have the right to do so, must play their role in supporting ukraine in this conflict, and i will of course do everything possible to ensure that ukraine continues to have the support of the

united states. so i will continue to support ukraine. i think that this is a struggle for democracy and it is our struggle as well as the struggle of the entire free world. 42 freedom-loving states have already joined military support and dozens of other states are helping in other ways, but all the countries of the world are closely watching what is happening in ukraine and these are not only our allies but also our adversaries we have shown the world that america and allies have not retreated after six weeks even after 6 months we are steadfast we must commit ourselves to continue help ukraine to defend itself until vladimir putin understands that russia's borders end where freedom begins. glory to ukraine , god bless the brave ukrainian soldiers . glory to the heroes in the composition is coming to an end, and already after

the elections in november, the composition and arrangement of forces in the house of representatives of such sonnets may change, however the current congress will work until january, but nevertheless it is worth expecting already now that the arrangement of villages and the arrangement of advantages may change completely soon, and as often happens in midterm elections, the opponent party of the presidential party often wins the elections, therefore many experts predict a majority in the new congress for the republicans, so we will monitor the development of these events, of course the composition of the senate and congress may change, but as the same legislators and ukrainian diplomats say that support by the united states of ukraine will be unchanged.

crimes of aggression by the russian military were registered by ukrainian law enforcement officers, first, a full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, before the investigation of these crimes specialists from different countries of the world, in particular from the united states, have already joined." you have worked in the department of justice for more than 35 years and for decades you have hunted down nazi war criminals, what experience did you

learn during the investigation of nazi war crimes that you are using now when investigating russian war crimes in ukraine, the nazis during world war ii and today's cases committed in ukraine are fundamentally one and the same issue of crimes committed during the war, so it is necessary to prove who committed them, unfortunately, the difference in the disorder of the second world war is that nazi germany was replaced by a responsible german government that persecuted representatives of its own people for participating in nazi crimes as you can imagine in the near future no cooperation is expected from the authorities of the russian federation also in this case the war is of course still ongoing tragic events continue crimes are still being committed and this makes these cases by far the most urgent for me and my colleagues compared to any case we have

worked on these crimes continue to be committed and there is an urgent need to let all potential criminals know that the united states is cooperating with the government of ukraine, in particular the attorney general's office with the national police of ukraine and with authorities across europe to investigate and prosecute these crimes, so if anyone dares to execute the criminal order, it's this person will never be able to be sure that she will get away with this, she will have to look back all her life until she is old, just like the nazi criminals had to do, the war crimes of the nazis and now considering the case of russian war crimes in ukraine, what do you think about the statement of the russian president about denazification country 37 years

of investigation and prosecution of nazis during the second world war i think i can say that i recognize a nazi when i see one ukrainian government is not nazi two countries as we remember attacked ukraine without provocations is nazi germany and the russian federation. so, who is now committing hitler's spirit? it is definitely not the ukrainian government. kyiv mout poke primes in ukraine. russian troops are committing numerous war crimes in ukraine. this is a well- documented bombing of hospitals. cooperation with ukrainian investigators and investigators of the international criminal court in the investigation of these crimes, there are probably two

aspects on which i should focus, one of them - it is the observance of our own laws here, and it can also be said to have two components, one of them is the klepto-capture initiative, which us attorney general mary garland announced in march, among other things, klepto-capture pursues those who promote aggression on the part of the russian federation, most of our viewers have probably seen news photos of super yachts that our government has confiscated oligarchs that support putin's government in addition to our own investigations of war crimes led by my colleague christian leweck who is the main the prosecutor in the affairs of ukraine also has various types of technological support, including it and other things that i cannot get into, but this is very, very close cooperation, we met with representatives of the office of the prosecutor general of ukraine literally yesterday, we are closely cooperating on the investigation of the

prosecutions in the usa that you mentioned everyone day we will learn about the history of crimes committed in ukraine, the job of prosecutors and investigators is to work together both within the country and together with our international colleagues to sift through this information to evaluate it methodically, it is clear that it is difficult to talk about the details of the ongoing investigations, but you can tell the general details of the investigations of war crimes committed in ukraine in which you are engaged in investments. unfortunately, i cannot talk about specific investigations, what can i say, as the prosecutor general also publicly stated in accordance with our law on war crimes still have jurisdiction over cases where a us citizen is a victim or perpetrator of a war crime, it is our duty to conduct a proper assessment and analyze the circumstances

to determine whether a war crime was committed in accordance with this law with ukrainianted, did you mention the meeting with representatives of the prosecutor general's office of ukraine or were there any special measures from the ukrainian side where the assistance of the united states might be needed in the investigation of war crimes committed by the russian military in ukraine ? we received certain requests and how always evaluate them and respond accordingly i can't go into detail we also made our own inquiries regarding our investigations an extraordinary thing happened when we with ms. levek were in the hague in july at the ministerial conference on responsibility in ukraine. then all 45 countries met with the same goal of bringing to justice those who committed war crimes and other serious crimes in ukraine. at first, the invasion of russia was not provoked in my

life. and i have had enough long live on this planet has what does it compare to 45 nations united for this single purpose our attorney general said that the department of justice will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to bring about responsibility for crimes he also said that we will be relentless we take this very seriously we are relentless and we will not stop how long did we need for this regarding the president of russia vladimir putin himself or should he not be responsible according to the principle of supreme responsibility given the evidence that directly link putin with war crimes, or shouldn't there be a tribunal for putin, such as the one in the case against slobod against milosevic? we represent the ministry of justice

of the united states and we don't usually charge people except through our own judicial process in indictments and in court unless we are part of some international tribunal so i will have to refrain from characterizing the president and others but it's good that you mentioned sloboda on milosevic i would add the former the leader of east germany, erik honecker, to the list of foreign leaders who never thought that the law would catch up with them , but sometimes it does. this is exactly what happens during your trip to ukraine, attorney general garland said war criminals cannot hide, given the number of war crimes committed in ukraine , the prosecution of war criminals can last for years. do you expect that many countries will be ready to extradite russian war criminals

? what is happening, but it was also very inspiring to see the courage and determination of our ukrainian colleagues to defend justice and fight for the territorial integrity of their country, one of the prosecutors was even in military uniform. i support the words of the prosecutor general, criminals will have nowhere to hide, the fact that 45 countries agreed on an action plan in asia in july, i think is an example of this, it may take years or decades to achieve full justice. but i believe that it will be. to the responsibility of those responsible for the acceleration of war crimes in ukraine ukraine has bipartisan support in the united states and can you

foresee changes in your work if there are changes in congress or the administration speaking of the investigation of nazi crimes in world war ii as an example, our experience shows that the duty to defend justice in these cases does not depend on which party in the us is in power in the united states. ukraine has strong bipartisan support, it is supported throughout the country in all 50 states and territories and it is impossible to imagine another administration not devoting itself to achieving the necessary justice. us assistance in the investigation of war crimes in ukraine, the full version of the conversation. watch and read on the website of the voice of america in ukrainian and on our

youtube page qualified from teachers, writers and athletes to volunteers . friends provide humanitarian aid to military and civilian residents of the front-line villages of the region, says kateryna markova timurko zahmedov is a successful boxer and five-time champion world champion in kickboxing among juniors, he continues to train and train, but his sports career is on pause, because he has been a volunteer since the first days of the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine february 26 i arrived i came here i learned february 24 i arrived here at 5 in the morning my brother calls me and

says war started. i did some training and went home. i think it will be a day or two and everything will be over. on the second day, we realized that nothing would end quickly. the volunteer hub began to feed military special forces, buy armored vehicles, and so everything was organized. it has been 5 months and everything has been organized, and it has already been the fifth month . the gym was turned into a humanitarian aid center. they collected things. clothes and medicines were rented . we worked here. we rented and worked . now it is half, but half. the volunteer center and various people joined, some were training for the war, some just came from instagram, some were immigrants, came and started helping, but they started helping every day athletes pack humanitarian aid for distribution

in zaporizhzhia and also prepare for trips to the region, a charitable organization is supported by the sports district as common places, such entrepreneurs and business owners, the head of a chain of mobile phone stores, buys and brings bread every day, it is impossible in any other way. you understand that when you are around there are such nice guys who gather there every morning and do a lot for our people, that is, you cannot stand aside and you have no choice because you are ukrainian. you you have to help yours, we buy 1,200 loaves per day, but we bring them to several headquarters and guys, and every day we brought places when there is a need, more and more, because every day they hand over 200 grocery bags to the displaced people and we help them fill them, that is, they have flour, cereals, oil, milk there and we ourselves put bread there twice a week, the boys

go to the front-line cities and villages where they are met and treated like relatives, this is our little thing, this is the mark of the others, damn us. not a little, not from the very beginning, well, constantly being with march of the month, they are boys, every sunday, there was not a single sunday that they missed, every sunday is thursday, friday is our time, on thursday they come to me all the time. there is no kiosk, no store, we have nowhere to buy anything, people have been living in the village for the 5th month without electricity, no water, gas, we have nothing, people do not want to leave their homes, some even return to take care of the farm, they say they are better under shelling, but you know at home i was in zaporizhzhia for three sundays with my mother and my

son. well, somehow we thought about what we were thinking. do you know that i have a vegetable garden, i have potatoes, i have cucumbers, i have tomatoes, why should i leave something for those bastards ? they were distributed in individual packages to everyone in portions, but in the villages near the front, there was constant shelling and gathering many people in one place. it became dangerous, so with help they gave it to representatives of the community, who then distributed it among the villagers. i already have a child, he even the dog will play well at home at home volunteers from the sports district feed the soldiers and carry milk, sweets and canned goods for the soldiers, they also collect money on walkie-talkie cars and a drone kateryna

markova viktor petrovych for the voice of america zaporizhzhia - ukraine a family of american farmers kelder lives in a village in the state of new york her have no ukrainian roots, but it was they who, on a cornfield of their own shape, created a gigantic labyrinth of words, we together with ukraine, this not only attracts attention, but also helps to collect funds for aid to ukraine why american farmers could not stay away from the ukrainian tragedy will be told by victoria babinska a typical american village the farm is located 2 hours away from new york it is owned by the keller family father chris and his son john have been breeding kellers here for 200 years from generation to generation rabbits , chickens, cows, they planted fruits and vegetables, they sold their vegetables and fat to the locals in february of this year, the kelders saw footage from europe on tv as in the 21st century. one country attacked another and

a ukrainian flag appeared in the farm field, visible from afar. is one of your family members ukrainian or russian or someone from that part of the world ? ukrainians no, not at all. have you ever been to ukraine? no, i have never been. i have never traveled anywhere beyond our pond. you know where it is, of course. i know very well where it is. i just realized that this is a serious story. you understand what is happening. i know one thing. people should not suffer. it is difficult to watch this. when you see footage of the suffering civilian population, you can not even believe it. it is as if we have returned to the past . world war i and world war ii began with one

shot. of course, this analogy came to everyone's mind. plan of action they will open a maze in a corn field, such an attraction is very common on american farms , but the basis of this maze will be a powerful humanitarian message, the inscription ukraine, we are together with in ukraine, i am an expert in geopolitics, so i would not claim that i understand everything, but i do not understand why some people want to treat other people so badly and start wars. we really wanted to provide some support to the ukrainians, and here, at the beginning of march, we planned this inscription in the field and labyrinth corn grows only until august. we were certainly not sure about the beginning of autumn, our idea would still be relevant. it was a certain risk, but we assumed that people would still suffer from this

war, we were worried that the idea would fail, the drought would not come. corn for a thousand natural reasons, but when from a bird's eye view it was finally possible to read the message laid out in the corn field , they posted on their modest facebook page an announcement about the opening of the labyrinth, the news instantly went beyond the village and became viral to the surprise of the kelders, who were not used to the publicity of ukrainians of which there are many in the neighboring villages and towns who have been coming to the farm for years for vegetables, for the first time they are beginning to be interested in and who are these indifferent peasants ? i am 95% sure that the people who do all this, i think so, are probably ukrainians or have relatives from ukraine. or maybe in some way they were expatriates from ukraine, but now i have learned more about the fact that this is an absolutely american family and they

do not have any roots ukrainian i'm honestly so shocked to the point of tears first gardent text when i saw it all with my own eyes i thought oh my god i started telling everyone around i wrote about it to my sister in ukraine look look they support us she was like that too i'm grateful and of course i'm very interested in how they did it technically, how they created this sentence, it's amazing, eh, junkel says that at first they hired a design company that designed how the malobirint should look and in which directions the corn should be planted, and then when the stalks came down, they spent a week weeded paths made of words using a prepared stencil 250 acres a million stems by hand labyrinth a huge journey in search of an exit takes 35 minutes you are sure that we have chosen the right path 100%, i know in which direction it will go

exit - this is a personal, small way out of the labyrinth of tragedy, the kelders determined the slogan to turn corn into body armor and medicine, all the funds left by visitors to the corn field, the family will donate it to the fund for humanitarian aid to ukraine, it is important to us the feeling that we can help people in all possible ways we can show those who cares today that our corn labyrinth is not just a field that could be cut randomly and that there is meaning in it and this meaning is that we are together with ukraine anna nelson volodymyr badykov olena matusovska dmytro vershin viktoriya webinska voice of america
