welcome to the air, the program of the ukrainian voice of america service time and presenter ostap yarysh russia will face catastrophic consequences if it uses nuclear weapons against ukraine us national security adviser jake sullivan said this he pretended that the united states is ready decisively answer if this happens, they will do everything necessary to deter the kremlin. from such a step, more about the west's reaction to putin's nuclear blackmail and other events in ukraine, let's talk with yulia yarmolenko , who is joining us from the white house. from the side of russia , washington is also being commented on what response the

usa is ready to give in this case to ostap, first of all , in the administration of biden, the administration of the american president calls everything but what comes from the kremlin and all these statements of threats completely irresponsible, the us secretary of state anthony blinken in an interview with sbs the day before emphasized that washington both publicly and privately calls on the kremlin to immediately stop talks about the possible use of nuclear weapons anthony blinken also emphasized that washington has a plan in case russia does resort to the use of any nuclear weapons, however, he also emphasized that washington clearly communicates to moscow what will be waiting for russia in the event that the kremlin goes for it, what exactly it is, what exactly it does in the white house discloses, however, today the spokeswoman of the white house, karin jeanpierre, confirmed that moscow knows in detail what will await it in the event of such a decision by president putin, also jake sullivan, whom

you mentioned, the united states security adviser, he emphasized that such a threat is taken seriously in washington, but nothing from what putin is saying will not change washington's position and washington's constant support of kyiv let's listen to siri, we take it seriously, this is not the first time president putin has threatened nuclear threat in this conflict, he started back in february when russian tanks crossed the border for the first time brandishing this nuclear card, and that did not stop us from providing weapons worth more than $15 billion to ukraine, helping them defend their state, and it will not stop us now, we directly and privately reported to russians at a very high level that the use of nuclear weapons in ukraine would lead to catastrophic consequences for russia, we were clear and explicit with them that the united states would give a decisive

response together with our allies and partners submission screen saver karina john told the pepper of the white house that washington currently has no signs of an increased nuclear threat from russia today, on the day when the world celebrates the international day for the abolition of nuclear weapons, secretary general antonio guterres called on everyone to refrain from nuclear blackmail because he emphasized on the fact that a nuclear war cannot be started because it cannot be won blackmail must ends the era of nuclear blackmail must end the idea that any country can wage and win a nuclear war is crazy any use of nuclear weapons will lead to a humanitarian armageddon. we need to take a step back. ira, it is really possible. we will monitor this topic. and one more thing, how do the usa react to the organization of the so

-called referendums that russia is holding in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine? well, you are important to remember . that the united states was the first to warn about russia's plans to hold so -called referendums or votes in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine, and the day before, us secretary of state anthony blinking once again emphasized that any so-called referendums are fake votes. this is completely fake. what russia is doing is invading the territory of its neighboring country. the united states will never recognize the holding of such referendums. and their results, today, as well. white house spokeswoman karin jeanpierre emphasized that the united states is preparing introduce new sanctions against russia we will never

recognize these territories as anything other than part of ukraine when it comes to these fake referendums or fake votes that we have seen in the past few days we will continue to work with our allies and partners to hold russia accountable and support the country as much as possible it will be necessary, we, together with our allies, are ready to introduce additional rapid and severe economic costs against russia, stagnant actions if they go for annexation, and we stand watching according to the development of events meanwhile, the british government became the first in the west to introduce new sanctions against russia due to illegal so-called referendums on the occupied territories of ukraine british foreign minister james cleverley said that imaginary referendums held at gunpoint cannot be free or fair, the european union is preparing its turn the next package of sanctions and what they

will be will also depend on the position of the new government of italy, where parliamentary elections were held this sunday, let's talk about it in more detail with bohdan tsyupin who joins our air and from london bohdan, i congratulate you. so let's first talk about these new british sanctions against whom they are aimed and what they apply to. so, in the lists announced here in london today, more than 90 legal entities and natural persons are very well- known there are no names in it, at least not known to the general public, there are representatives of the occupying power on the territory of ukraine who cooperated with the russians in organizing this referendum, for example, the ego company is a russian a company that prints documents and in particular russian passports that are issued in the occupied territories of ukraine, and perhaps the most interesting thing for london

as the financial capital of the international capital is the sanctions imposed on dozens of representatives of key banks, in particular gazprom-gazprombank and sberbank - this very large russian banks, dozens of representatives of the boards of directors and managers of these banks found themselves under sanctions, which for them is out of consideration for what london is, probably quite a serious matter ostap bohdan, now i want to talk about italy let's talk, the elections were held this weekend , the right-wing populists led by the brothers of italy party won the largest votes there, if they form a government, what can be expected from it in the context of aid to ukraine and opposition to russia, the issue of aid to ukraine and especially the issue of sanctions will probably be important, despite the fact that these parties primarily emphasize on the fact that they

will solve the issue of combating emigration and illegal migration first of all . they also have problems with other worldviews, but there is also a lot of talk about the fact that there are sanctions er, as some political forces in europe say, and in particular the opposition in italy, and one of the reasons for the serious economic crisis in fact, and in particular the rise in energy prices and the rise in the cost of living in europe and in italy in particular, so these three parties, which presumably get a chance the formation of the e-e on the formation of the government is e e let's start from the bottom the smallest the smallest party in this co with the least number of votes is forsa italy and is headed by a very famous former prime minister symbol berlusconi e-e the second slightly larger partner in

to this triumvirate, it is the party of lega matteos albini, a former government official, we know him, but the largest party and the most important representative is georgia melanie, about whom we still generally did not know she speaks very strongly about russia and the russian war . i think it is best to give a quote from one of her program speeches. about this, please. italy forte. we want a strong italy, respected in the world and a confident europe, to raise its heads high in europe and in the west. worth the trust of the faithful and serious, starting with the protection of the ukrainian people from russian aggression, which will be a priority for us , along with the opportunity to more firmly demand the distribution of the burden of bohdan sanctions. perhaps

putin's biggest friend in this coalition is the defense minister no. how strong is their friendship now? about the fact that, as he said in one of the interviews, putin was pushed to war, but now they are ashamed of such friendship, even the power of birloskoni is ashamed, and he was forced to make excuses and again this excerpt shows how ashamed he is of this friendship curtain my words completely twisted my opinion and our position how many times we were told that i and i wash forza italy on the side of the current government and we voted for a lot of decisions, including the provision of arms to ukraine bohdan thank you, i will remind you that bohdan tsyupany was with you and from london, the usa in kyiv called the russian

shelling of the civilian infrastructure of ukraine shameful and declared the inevitability of punishing russia for war crimes. maria ivanovych called the us administration to provide ukraine with long-range weapons systems capable of reaching deep targets in crimea. she shared about this and other things in an interview with voice of america. distance and reach crimea and other cities, the russian military, not being successful in battles with the ukrainian army, make civilians and civil infrastructure their targets, be it dams, gas pipelines or power grids in kharkiv and elsewhere it is shameful, i think that western countries can supply more air defense systems to protect this critical important infrastructure from russian strikes.

so, i think that we should do everything we can and as quickly as we can so that ukraine wins the fight against russian aggression, this is a fully mobilized society everyone contributes to this war, no matter who they are, someone travels around the world telling what is happening in ukraine and receiving support from foreign politicians, someone fights at the front, someone introduces an ambulance, someone provides food for pensioners. this is incredible, and i was impressed not only by the courage and determination of this people, but also by their confidence that they will win, no matter what this victory costs. i believe that it is necessary to hold russia accountable for these crimes, and not only putin if he will someday be available for this, and not only his superior generals, but also all those who committed these truly worthy war crimes, all of them must be brought to justice so that ukrainians can live

further, knowing that justice has been done and justice for their dead compatriots has been restored , this must also be done so that the russians understand what crimes were committed in their name and most importantly - this is important for the future if russia is not held accountable for all the horrors it inflicts in ukraine it will practically be an invitation for vladimir putin to do the same in other places or for other dictators to do the same.” from the first seconds when he said hello

everything, i just broke down and understood that everything was him finally, in svoboda, before this, ruslana talked to her husband as far back as may, when he, the commander of the 36th marine brigade, serhii volynskyi, together with other defenders, went out for the increase, he said that i should not worry because there would be no communication for some time if possible he will get in touch and make himself known, but he will definitely come back, he promised it and told me to wait for him during my time, he never called, never wrote, four months and one day, so much ruslan their son sashko and the whole family i was waiting for serhiy to return from russian captivity. an incentive to hold on. this is my son, who, of course , did not let me relax. we held together. i told him earlier that dad is on a business trip and he has

no contact, but he will definitely as soon as he has the opportunity he will contact us and talk to us, the opportunity appeared only on september 21, when serhiy and more than 200 ukrainian prisoners of war became free again. before each exchange, nadiya, of course. well, i was, as always, before such events. i was very worried i prayed that this very time would happen, well, a good event in our family. when i saw the first photo that was posted with the commanders, i didn't even immediately understand what kind of photo it was, and i called almost at the same time. serhiy er and in such a joyful voice said that everything is fine er finally er hmmm

finally we were exchanged ruslana says the guys in the first joint photo are difficult to recognize so much they have changed i of course recognize him thousands of people out of thousands er but er -e i understand for strangers, it was really difficult because they were very different. well, of course, they have changes in their appearance, so not everyone was able to recognize him right away. well, when i saw him, i immediately realized that it was him. i know that they will undergo a full, complete examination. they are one of the first days have already begun to do, that is, a number of doctors have already looked at them, one of serhiy's first questions was about his comrades in russian captivity, there are still thousands of ukrainian soldiers. he asked me to find out from

his comrades who left with him returned to ukraine to find out the exact number of uhm and uhm make a list of those unlucky people who were not returned this time and he uh very painfully accepted this news that it was not all of them and he is very worried this is why we continue to fight for everyone and continue to work in the direction of returning absolutely all defenders home only after the press conference ruslana realized that serhiy is not in ukraine, he and four other commanders from azov have decided to stay in turkey under protection until the end of the war president erdoğan, but now they have a connection and the relatives promised to arrange a meeting when serhiy called. the very next day he called and we even managed to talk via video link, we saw him, he saw his son, they were already very

happy for each other . - and we promised sergey that we will come together anyway. i think that words are futsal. i'll just hug him, kiss him and tell him for a couple of minutes. it's just to feel that it's almost here. this is my personal first day of victory. the next one is already. will be our uh national victory day lesia mykhaylets oleksiy osyka - voice of america according to the un high commissioner's office at the end of august, there were almost one million and 400 thousand forcibly displaced persons from ukraine in poland, and ukrainian activists are helping ukrainian activists in polish cities, particularly in krakow, one of the organizations that immediately responded to such a call this is a foundation meeting and with its head oleksandrovi, tetyana

various support groups and therapeutic groups for women with teenagers with children larisa sizova who recently moved from kyiv, one of the psychologists says that forced relocation is the most difficult for teenagers, it goes through them violently and i see such a trend, and some are so mmm they manifest it very violently, while others, on the contrary, seem to go inside themselves and find it difficult to come out, well, such children are traumatized in polish . without parents, for example, this bursa where children 15-16, 20 years old who are here without parents so that they would not end up in centers for children with
