information that a meeting is being prepared in reggae, it will be representatives of russia, ukraine, and the united states. yes, the question will be resolved on the part of russia, either russia continues or stops hostilities, the territories that became part of the russian federation are liberated by the ukrainians, or russia enters a full-scale war with the russians. with bomb blasts to everyone else clearly somehow i have no idea how possible the first option is there may indeed be some groups that are ready for such actions. of course, there are such groups, but i will not say that this second group, which advocates agreements, be it agreements on individual tracks or such general framework agreements, i will not

say that it is really less dangerous for us. on the part of the fsb or and not only the fsb, other law enforcement officers who are not associated, we see such very, very serious enthusiasm for the fact that let's hold negotiations, if not framework ones, then at least on separate tracks, at least in the humanitarian track itself. interesting for ukraine, well, that is, we saw that before the release of those foreign volunteers who had landed in morocco recently , a few weeks before that, tatyana moskalkova spoke about the need to abolish the death penalty and the so-called denr, so that there was obviously some the prospect of negotiations regarding the fate of these foreign volunteers, what did we see after a few weeks, that it worked, well, that is, that this line of security forces won on this point

direction but again, we have very, very the situation in this intra-species struggle is seriously changing, and of course it is our great luck as a country that the fsb officers do not take it up very often because they pressure us, they pressured us much more then so that we would go to some negotiations so that we could agree on something with them and so next , of course, roman is correct. i'm sorry, i'm sorry that i'm going to interrupt now, but we literally have little such a question left, but today there was a statement from reznikov regarding his appeal to the russian military, so who can he turn to or is there anyone to turn to at all among the russian military well, abramovich actually there are literally 20 seconds well i think that some russian military may have certain ambitions i think that there is a certain understanding of where everyone is going and i think that this makes a certain sense but i think that this after all, it is not a matter

of public communications. it is a matter of finer work, less obvious and less signed and with such a title that the minister of defense of ukraine is addressing some russian military there, and so there really is abramovich as a completely separate figure which has its own interests, primarily financial, and which plays its game and plays quite successfully and benefits from the fact that it has a certain trust on the part of putin and that it shows a certain result on this same humanitarian track thank you maria it was maria kucherenko er, and a very detailed analysis of what is happening first of all in the russian military elite. well, we will meet on tuesday

on the air from washington, the program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america, i am yuliya yarmolenko. i congratulate this distinction to all the ukrainian people. yes human rights activist oleksandra matviychuk commented on the appointment of the nobel peace prize, the organization headed by her , the center for civil liberties, the nobel committee announced its decision on friday, in addition to the ukrainian organization , belarusian human rights defender aliets belyatsky and the russian human rights organization memorial ukrainian center for civil liberties were created in 2007 to promote values ​​of human rights after the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, the center participates in identifying and documenting russia's war crimes against the ukrainian civilian population in cooperation with international partners, the organization works to bring to justice those guilty of crimes committed earlier. today, oleksandra

matviychuk exclusively commented on the news of myroslava gongadze. it was quite unexpected for me and for our team to receive the nobel peace prize, and we appreciate it not just as a sign of our human rights work of the center for civil liberties that we conduct in ukraine and throughout the region, but primarily as a mark of all to the ukrainian people who, in this war with russia, are fighting for freedom and for the right to have a democratic choice as such, for the right to live, to build a country in which the rights of every person are protected. government is accountable , justice is independent, and the police do not disperse peaceful student demonstrations, and we are now paying a rather high price for this the nobel committee notes that the laureates of the 2022 peace prize

represent civil society in their countries, they have worked for many years for the right to criticize the government and defend basic rights citizens, they made an outstanding effort to document war crimes, violations of human rights and abuse of power, one of the laureates is aliets, the head of the belarusian human rights center vesna and a political prisoner , he is currently in prison after being arrested during the mass protests in belarus in 2020, about a human rights defender, his work has a colleague, nataliya churikova, spoke with the belarusian journalist and author of the book about alice blyatsky, valery m. kalinovsky, waited almost 10 years for the nobel peace prize for les belyansky, because he already then he was one of the favorites for this award when he was behind bars in the 12th year. that's when he was framed and convicted for actually being a human rights defender because he helped

belarusian political prisoners after the debacle after the maidans in 2010 when there were very, very many repressions in the country, and repressions began against him , and he had the opportunity to go somewhere to lithuania or somewhere and from there manage the desna human rights center, which he created and which he headed, well, under the conditions of such a repressive lukashenka regime, but after all, he decided to stay in belarus, and despite the gangs, the american expert with whom the voice of america talked was congratulated this year on the choice of the nobel committee, and they believe that this shows the recognition of the importance of protecting the values ​​of freedom and human rights and condemning the kremlin's aggression, amen. this award noted those who fight for human rights, freedom of the press, freedom

of speech, freedom of assembly, all universal values, these are not american values, these are not western values, these are universal human values ​​and the nobel committee recognizes this recognizes the importance of these values ​​and also recognizes the heroic and courageous work of these people and these organizations, this shows that public opinion , particularly in the west but also in other countries, also strongly supports the sovereignty and integrity of ukraine and also opposes the russian aggressive war in ukraine, and this shows that the nobel committee is aware of the central and key role of the kremlin's brutality and aggression in all these three states, that they recognized three countries it is really important. this strong condemnation of what the kremlin is doing should also be a signal to thinking russians about what place they occupy in

this situation, from the peace prize to nuclear threats . the day before, us president joe biden, speaking at a fundraiser in new york, said that the threat of using nuclear weapons are the highest since the cuban crisis, we have not faced the prospect of armageddon since kennedy and the cuban crisis - the president noted in the white house already clarified the president spoke about the irresponsible nuclear rhetoric coming from the kremlin and the united states still see no reason to change their nuclear position. let's talk more about this with ostap yarosh, who joins ostap's broadcast. congratulations, congratulations . a response to putin's nuclear rhetoric, what do they say in the white house, are there any changes in the level of the threat of the potential use of nuclear

weapons, today yuryu asked this in the white house's karinzhinpereshenya, she answered that the united states and president biden are not the first to speak about putin's rhetoric. by the way, joe biden also spoke at the un general assembly in september. at that time, he said that a nuclear war cannot be won and it cannot be started . janpier added that if the cuban crisis and has taught me something, it is the importance of reducing the nuclear threat , that is why putin's statements and this brandishing of weapons are extremely irresponsible, but it does not intimidate the united states, said the spokeswoman of the white house , adding that she still does not see the reason to change its strategic nuclear position and also does not see signs that putin is really preparing to use nuclear weapons in ukraine, we also heard a similar opinion yesterday from the pentagon spokesman petaraider, and when he was asked if he sees any changes in the united states in the preparations in russia, he said that at the moment a-a the usa does not believe that putin has

made any decision regarding the use of nuclear weapons, let's hear what he told me people energy many people in our government and in the international community, including the minister of defense by the dom austin emphasized the fact that this nuclear weapons attack is reckless and irresponsible, which i noted earlier. at this stage, we do not have any information that would force us to change our position of strategic deterrence , and we do not believe that at this moment president putin has made a decision to use nuclear weapons. but again , we take it very seriously. we will monitor the situation, but in the meantime, our focus is on supporting ukraine ostap, and how do american experts evaluate the level of the real threat, yuliya american experts with whom the voice of america spoke say that they do not know that putin is fully aware of the terrible consequences that the use of nuclear weapons can have, they add that they

say that if russia does take any steps in this direction, then american intelligence knows about it for sure and it will not go unnoticed ben so it is the former commander of the us ground forces in europe who said that the most effective thing for putin would be not to use nuclear weapons. undesirable consequences for him, and here are the threats, according to ben-hodges, putin can use them in order to intimidate or force western countries to make concessions. james actons, an expert from the carnegie foundation, also agrees with this opinion. he says that, in his opinion, it is unlikely that use these weapons to protect, as the kremlin believes, the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine, and on the contrary, they can use this trump card or this threat as blackmail in order to force western countries to make concessions or surrender to some other actions. come on

let's hear what he says about the probability of using such weapons by putin, i don't think that the use of nuclear weapons by russia is inevitable, but i also don't think that putin is blocking, i think that if the war goes in a very bad direction for putin, if he faces a catastrophic military defeat, if his government will be under threat and the russian economy is on the verge of collapse then i cannot rule out the possibility of russia using nuclear weapons i do not think it is very likely but i think it is more likely now than ever after the end of the cold war. thank you ostap, we will monitor the development of the event. i will remind you that my colleague ostap yarysh and the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba

, are on their first visit to african countries this week. american experts draw attention to the fact that the main challenge of ukraine in africa there are strong pro-russian views in many countries on the continent, what is the purpose of the visit of the chief ukrainian diplomat and why is africa important for ukraine, yaryna matviychuk found out pro-russian views are common in many african countries, this is the result of powerful investments, propaganda on the part of russia and lack of attention to the continent on the part of ukraine , according to the director of the center for accountable investments , which, among other things, investigates the impact of capital on markets and democracy in the center of international private entrepreneurship in the united states, eric gonz earlier this year when the mission of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine visited the usa. eric gon gave recommendations to ukrainian diplomats regarding ukrainian prospects in africa and latin america, they invested in propaganda

in the media to create the impression that russia is a key supplier of grain to many african countries , professor gerard towle of the university of virginia, who, among other things, studies the african continent , explains exactly what messages russia is promoting there. why is russia successful in africa? they promoted themselves as a country that is waging war against western countries against colonialism, the entire negative history of imperialism suffered by the african continent, russia catches all these emotions and sentiments, they have achieved relative success in this, presenting themselves as victims of the empire and but after the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine at the un during the vote for a resolution condemning russia's aggression in 17 african countries, they abstained from voting in in the last few months, already after the russian invasion, high-ranking leaders of several african countries

visited russia, so the main task of the ukrainian delegation in africa, according to experts to inform african peoples about the true essence of russian aggression and invasion of ukraine, it is an honor for me to be accepted as vice president by a very friendly country côte d'ivoire code ukraine ukraine should declare its presence and explain a little history, what is ukraine, what is russia, a few days after russia's invasion of ukraine, the african representative in the un security council made a very interesting statement about the change of borders so that this would mean for africa, i think for ukrainians it is very important through this topic to explain how important this war is for them and that the change of borders means for ukraine another important message that ukraine should always convey to the representatives of the african authorities and people that ukraine is the breadwinner of the world that does

all in order to overcome the food crisis from which african peoples are suffering, towle recommends, and also to explain again and again the inverted russian narratives that ukraine is a victim, that it is ukraine that was attacked, that it is ukraine that suffers from colonialism, that there cannot be an empire that presents itself as an anti-colonial state, that it is necessary to explain again and again to millions of africans who are not well informed about what is happening in ukraine. professor gerard towle considers it a wise decision of minister kuleba to start his visit from senegal. president of senegal makysal leads the african union, an organization that includes 55 countries on the african continent, in july of this year, president makisal visited russia and personally met with vladimir putin. africa alone is a territory that is often associated with the russian arms trade and semi-legal mining of rare minerals, experts say that is where

the tour of the minister of foreign affairs continues ukraine, dmytro kuleleba, this is the latest news, then podivoar, then ghana, but immediately north of ghana, burkina faso, and north of codivoar mali, this countries where russia is significantly increasing its power and influence, this is related to the sale of weapons and rare minerals. they are trying to monopolize this market. since the 90s, for the russian federation, ties with africa remained just a historical legacy, but with the appearance of the wagner group, with the growth of semi-legal commercial interests mostly in the field of minerals and weapons, we have seen the resumption of close relations of private security firms with the russian mfa, i think for africa it is a dangerous game russia is actually promoting growth at the same time economic the role of africa in the world is growing the african continent is becoming an important market and ukraine needs to find

its place in it africa is becoming more important more central to the business of international trade supply chains africa is an expensive market that is getting on its feet sometimes people mistakenly talk about africa as a whole there is actually very various countries that have different views and public initiatives that are for or against the ukrainian position dmytro kuleba informed about the first fruits of this visit already during the trip cote d'ivoire joined the crimean platform in ghana ukraine will open an embassy and the government of senegal has promised to strengthen economic cooperation with ukraine, but in order to firmly stand on its feet in africa in ukraine there is still a lot of work ahead, experts emphasize iryna matviychuk kostyantyn golubchyk voice of america the armed forces of ukraine continue to release populated areas in the south and east of the country, the following

is our article about the village of visokopilya, which was liberated at the beginning of september, serhii lysenko, one of the first journalists to reach it, local residents they told him that the russian occupiers raped women, beat and shot local people and marauders, their testimonies about life in the occupation, then cars were stolen, everything was the same, they walked around, they took food, they looted, well, this is not to be passed on . after

myroslava gongadze visited the village of bohdanivka under kyiv, where the russian occupiers destroyed the local school and kindergarten under the russian occupation . bohdanivka stayed for 20 days. russian troops turned the local school and kindergarten into a base and hospital. when the ukrainian army came to liberate the village, the russians burned down the premises of the school and kindergarten . passing through the ruins of her life, the director of the school remembers how she ran from as a teenage daughter in a field and a forest at night in search of safety and how devastated she was when she returned and saw what happened to her school in those places where everything did not burn down you can see that they lived here, slept, ate , and so on. there is also a school and a kindergarten in the village . well, for example, in the village, it is the heart of everything. well, you know, it was the most painful thing that happened in our village, when we found out that the school was on fire. there is some hope that what is burning well,

maybe we can save a little something. well, when we already understood that there is simply nothing to save, of course. it was difficult to understand what she is doing to us next, standing in the city where her office was, the director tells us how technologically advanced it is was her school and how she dreams that the students will soon return to it, she believes that the school will be rebuilt as soon as possible with the support of our e-e, our community, with the support of the department of education , we still managed to save our institution as a legal entity, we were not liquidated and we will exist until at that time, our institution will not be restored, but all this must be done as soon as possible . at the beginning of the school year, more than 300 schoolchildren returned to this village. oleksandr kutsenko, who oversees the educational system of the local community, says that all the children of this villages have resumed education in nearby institutions for the moment, we, er, expect, as for educational institutions and

as for the whole of life, this is clear to everyone, reconstruction because we understand that there is a war in the state and there are problems with financing, so after all, we count on more investor aid for reconstruction about what school aid is in ukraine. have you seen these funds? well, unfortunately, what concerns the reconstruction of housing directly today, practically no, these are only a few humanitarian funds, and we have 2,200 houses damaged from them 386 in full er 400 somewhere it is superficial damage to windows and doors and the rest is subject to major repairs, so even in this there is no understanding, it is the beginning, we have
