you watch the program of the ukrainian voice of america service, i'm natalia leonova, congratulations, ukraine will receive from nato hundreds of devices for jamming drones, britain will hand over anti-aircraft missiles to ukraine, amram, paris will continue supplies, destroy caesar and spain will provide installations of papers and this is an incomplete list of equipment and weapons announced by the countries as a result of the meeting of the contact group of the prohibition of ukraine and ministers defense of nato countries in brussels, in addition, a group of 14 nato member countries and finland signed a protocol of intent to purchase air defense systems, the variants say that this decision is important against the background of russia's merciless and non-destructive missile attacks against ukraine. the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe adopted a resolution that recognized russia is in a terrorist regime and supported the acceleration of the creation of a special international tribunal due to russia's war against ukraine. meetings in

brussels are monitored by bohdan tsyupin, who joins from our studio in london, i congratulate bogdan bohdan, based on the results of the brussels meetings, a number of countries announced the provision of additional systems against missile and air defense, the american military leadership, in particular, general mili says that ukraine needs integrated and comprehensive air defense, will the new aid meet these needs? well, we will see, but the only thing that can be talked about now is that experts emphasize the huge need of ukraine when it comes to air defense because the territory of ukraine is large, the front line is very large, and there are many objects to protect, such as nuclear power plants or cities or military objects, and the threats are also very different, because for

each of the threats from the air, separately from, say, ballistic missiles, separately from e cruise missiles or so-called drones, each system is adapted for its specific radius of action, near or far. for certain purposes, faster or slower depending on the height, and so on. and so on, so what we are talking about now is actually a very, very difficult task and the problem is that many european countries in particular do not actually have these systems ready for you to provide to ukraine, that is, there are separate ones, but let’s say what germany provides is only the first installation and the other three more they are only being manufactured and they are so new that even the german army does not have them, the bundessar does not have them in service and experts now say that it will actually be interesting to see how these

complexes prove themselves, that is, in fact, unprecedented things are happening today in brussels the representative of the united states emphasized that it is actually about the european security complex and nato's responsibility primarily for peace in that part of europe for which the organization is responsible. along with supporting ukraine in the process, the us defense minister said in brussels today that we will and continue to make efforts to support ukraine for as long as it takes, and you've heard us say this over and over again. and another thing that we repeat over and over again is that the united states absolutely committed to our obligations in accordance with the fifth article and we undertake to defend every inch of nato territory if and when it comes to that bohdan and

another legal topic discussed with seven days in brussels is a nuclear threat from russia, the american administration says that diplomatic has already sent direct warnings to the navy about the catastrophic consequences in the event of the use of weapons of mass destruction by russia. earlier , president biden said that in his opinion, putin would not resort to this step if the threat from the kremlin perceives in europe and what kind of response is being prepared in europe , they talk about it very reluctantly and make noises about it, even let's say a wish that it is not worth talking about it in order not to turn this terrible threat into something commonplace . and for example, when french president manuel macron in an interview with french television, he began to explain the french nuclear doctrine, and let's not forget that france is now the only country on the

european continent that has nuclear weapons in the european union, then some even said that he is talking too much about it, or the nato secretary general only said that there will be a tough response, perhaps the highest representative of the european union for security and foreign relations will allow himself to say, and in his words even a threat to destroy the russian army actually sounded, here are his words there is a nuclear threat , putin says that he does not block, he cannot afford to bluff, and it should be clear that people who support ukraine, as well as the european union and member states from the usa and nato, do not block either any nuclear attack on ukraine will create a response, not a nuclear response, but such a powerful response from the military side that the russian army will be destroyed and putin should not block the decision

to create a military mission to train 15 thousand ukrainian soldiers. what kind of program is it and how does it differ from already existing, so this program is already in addition to other programs for re -for example, operation interflex here in britain is training thousands of ukrainian soldiers, teaching them basic knowledge of waging war, and so on. programs that individual countries have, for example, the french taught the ukrainians to use their caesar howitzers, the germans taught the ukrainians to use the howitzer armor as well, and also, for example, the new anti-missile air defense system, what the european union is now saying is another step to the start of another program the training of the ukrainian

military under the auspices of the european union and obviously with the help of european union funding, mr. borel, whom you just heard, is very enthusiastic about this matter. he said that it was necessary the eu should have trained the ukrainian military a long time ago. this program was needed and he is one of the big supporters of doing it. training will probably take place on the territory of poland . among other things, it declared the regime of the russian federation terrorist. what does this step mean in practice? it is, of course, primarily a symbolic step. this organization cannot implement, it does not have executive powers. to introduce some specific sanctions, but it is

about the demand for justice. this is exactly what ukrainians want, whose homes are being destroyed by russia, or whose sons and brothers are being killed by russian weapons, and this is another statement that is a mobilization of the international community, in particular, to what ukraine hopes will be an international tribunal, an international court on the so-called war crimes committed by russia in ukraine , us president biden welcomed the results of the vote of the un general assembly, which resulted in the adoption of a resolution called the territorial the integrity of ukraine and the protection of the principles of the un charter, jubaiden emphasized that russia cannot erase a

sovereign state from the map , the nato secretary general and genstenberg also reacted to the results of the vote, he called it a clear condemnation of the illegal annexation of ukrainian territories, in his turn , ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky tweeted the world said its word and ukraine will return all its lands, the document condemns the pseudo -referendum in the captured ukrainian territories and demands the annulment of the decision on the illegal annexation of the resolution was supported by an overwhelming majority of 143 states for and only five against. ukrainian representative serhiy kislytsia called for support for the resolution, otherwise the world will find itself in a situation where all issues are solved by nuclear weapons and the size of the army, said the ukrainian diplomat, representative shalinda thomas greenfield, emphasized that the un was built on the idea that no country will be allowed to seize the territory of another by force after knowing peace will never be

achieved if silence is the only way to bring peace stop this aggression demand responsibility together insist on condemnation show that we will not tolerate it so let's send a clear signal today the united nations will not tolerate the trials of illegal annexation we will never admit it this un will not allow the forceful seizure of a neighbor's territory we will resist this un will not allow the destruction of its charter we will defend it, as the secretary general of the organization said, russia's actions have no place in our modern world, today russia invaded ukraine, but tomorrow it could be another nation whose borders violated, you can be the next, what would you expect from this institution today, ukraine received a billion 300 million dollars from the international monetary fund, and the president of the world

bank, david malpas, announced that the bank will transfer to ukraine 530 million dollars of funds from britain and data molfar called on the world to join forces on aid to ukraine despite the large-scale problems that russia's aggression has created for the world, but how washington is coordinating aid to ukraine, we will talk with my colleague oksana bedratenko so oksana, what kind of help can ukraine count on? ukraine hopes that the imf, the international monetary fund, the eu and the united states will take over the financial support of ukraine in equal parts next year, and the representative of ukraine at the world bank, roman kachur, told me about this. he also noted that ukraine is currently negotiating with the international monetary fund regarding a new large-scale program in the amount of 15-20 billion dollars. and this is also for next year, and the needs of ukraine are really huge. ukraine lost the child of its economy due to the war e for

in order to restore what was lost in just three months of the war, 350 billion dollars are needed, according to the world bank estimates, the day before the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy asked international donors for 55 billion dollars, this is in order to ensure the main basic functions of the ukrainian government for the next year, this is the payment of salaries social security, etc., as well as to start rebuilding what was lost during the war and the funds that ukraine has already received from the event, according to the estimates of the government and the imf, should be enough until the end of the year and even by the end of the heating period, thanks to efforts by the end of the 22nd year, if the obligations announced by our partners are fulfilled in full, ukraine will have the necessary funds for the 22nd year and the beginning of the 23rd year, but on the

23rd th year, unfortunately, the need remains today, we offer partners a basic formula, that is, 3 billion - this is 1 billion from the united states, 1 billion from the european union and 1 billion from the international monetary fund, if you add funds from the necessary for reconstruction according to the international monetary fund, we expect a large program of 15-20 billion dollars, this is our expectation for the fund of the european union . similarly, the figure is also from the united states . oksana, according to the results of the meeting on thursday in washington, the ministers of e-e ministers of finance and the head of the center of banks of the group of seven countries issued a statement regarding the support of ukraine - does this mean the creation of a financial rammstein, which president zelensky asked for the day before, yes, natalya , the most important result of this forum, as kachur told me, is an extraordinary and

of solidarity with ukraine in the west are increasingly beginning to understand that in order to stand in the face of russian aggression in ukraine, not only financial aid is needed, but not only defense aid, but also financial aid, and the finance ministers of the united states of great britain canada, japan, european countries, all during this conference, they declared their readiness to help ukraine, according to the results of the minister of finance of the group of seven, they issued a statement in which they said that they were ready to support the budgetary needs of ukraine as much how much will it be possible, how much will it be necessary, and the budgetary needs are significant - it's 3-4 billion dollars per month, every month, and as roman kachur tells me, the ukrainian government is now communicating with countries in order for them to lay down these funds in their budgets because right now it is autumn and the budget process in many countries is obvious that

the economies of the partner countries in ukraine are different, and that is, their opportunities to help ukraine are also different. of ukraine e indeed, russia's war in ukraine was a shock for international financial institutions. ukraine has already received 20 billion dollars from eu donors to support its economy, most of them, more than half, came through the world bank, for this, as kacher tells me, the world bank had to change its procedures to make some exceptions, some decisions were made at midnight, some bank transactions were carried out in the second night, that is, there is an extremely great readiness to help ukraine. the united states turned out to be the most

we are ready to quickly take action and react quickly. that is, we know about the big package and it was initiated in may 40 billion, of which we received 7.5 billion directly to the budget . loshino package for 4.5 billion today, secretary elena said that these funds will come to us in the coming months, that is, by the end of the year, the united states has proven to be very capable and if we can make decisions quickly and implement them quickly, the european union promised 9 million in the month of may, the mayor the cities of novosibirsk are ideal offered ukrainian zhytomyr to become twin cities, the mayor of zhytomyr accepted the invitation, the idea of ​​such a twinning was initiated by the ukrainian union of indians as expected, the first project of twin cities will be to help ukrainian defenders with prosthetics, ukrainian volunteers have already started collecting funds for the implementation of this project, the first such

fundraising will take place tomorrow on defender of ukraine day in general iryna matviychuk talked about the work of the ukrainian union of indians with volunteers when, in march of this year, two ukrainian women svitlana and maria decided to create a ukrainian organization in indiana, they did not even imagine that in six months they would establish direct contact with the governor of the state and brew ukrainian beer for americans, they say that at the beginning they just wanted to create some corner where ukrainians could come to dinner parties to discuss the news from home and sympathize to each other, i am a ukrainian community, but there was no organization that brought all the people together, and in order for there to be celebrations of our e-e holidays, some e-e vechornytsia, or some kind of the opportunity to preserve our culture to communicate in the ukrainian language according to the data of the us census as of 2019, about

9,000 ukrainians born in ukraine or those who consider their origin to be ukrainian lived in indiana, most of them are concentrated around the city of india-napolis, which is in the north of the state, not chicago on the first rallies in support of ukraine, which were organized by activists of the ukrainian union, gathered up to one and a half hundred people, the ukrainian community in indiana does not exist like this, you lead chicago or new york. and here we have realism at the beginning of march, maybe around 150 people came. maria was shy and emigrated to the usa when she was a schoolgirl. she lived most of her life in the united states, however, she says that she remains ukrainian in her heart. maria spends at least three days every week volunteering for the ukrainian community, i will tell you the truth . i say that i have already settled my life here. yes, i have a family. i have children, but how did it happen to ukraine? it just hurts. the girls say that the work in the organization

was divided into three components: cultural, educational and they organize public activities, among other things, a festival of ukrainian culture, they celebrate the national holidays of ukraine until defender of the fatherland day, in particular, on october 14, they brew ukrainian beer , they plan to direct the profit from the sale to charity in ukraine . in the ukrainian style, you asked the ukrainians here in indiana what they wanted the label to look like, what would they like this beer to be called that is, we took advice from the ukrainian community for this beer. svitlana raymen immigrated to the usa 14 years ago. she herself comes from fastov, kyiv region. she says that today there are five permanent volunteers in the ukrainian union of indians. among other things , they hold lectures for americans about the history

of ukraine at the state level. are lobbying for the recognition of the holodomor as a genocide of the ukrainian people, we, in partnership with the consulate general of ukraine in chicago, are preparing a commission to be submitted to the governor, let it be a request that the governor himself the proclamation that diana recognizes the holodomor as a nazism of the ukrainian people, and if this first step succeeds, then we will work to include information about the holodomor in the school curriculum so that children in indiana learn about the information as part of the history of europe about famine-stricken children, the union holds evening readings in the local library, volunteers hope that in the future these classes will turn into ukrainian language lessons, and they collected funds and bought many ukrainian children's books and gave them away local library and the next step of this project.

we plan to have monthly evenings of ukrainian fairy tales and volunteers will come and read these children's books and ukrainian families will be able to come and bring their children to play together and listen to readings in ukrainian and listen to fairy tales in their main time svitlana remen works at the international center of indiana, this is an organization that, in particular, helps representatives of the state authorities to participate in events of the international level through this international center says svitlana activists managed to establish contact with the office of the governor of the state. we managed to invite the consul general of ukraine panakoledov to come from chicago to india and take part in the global economic summit. whatever was arranged by the governor and diana, it was clear that when the back was ukrainian-indians full of ideas and

energy the only thing they say is that what is lacking now is time and additional hands with which more volunteers were needed so that the organization could continue to develop and have more projects i would like to involve more people i wanted people to be more actively involved in these initiatives, the volunteers enlisted the support of the local latvian community, which provided them with a room for free rent, however, the dream of the activists is to gather together as a community in their own ukrainian cultural center indiana iryna matviychuk dmytro savchuk voice of america as a result of the war thousands of ukrainian civilians and soldiers who lost limbs require prosthetics and complex rehabilitation until recently prosthetics in ukraine developed slowly and high-tech bionic prostheses were generally unavailable to patients who received prostheses at state expense. at the beginning of the war, the number of such patients is constantly increasing, so in lviv, in the city where hundreds of them

go to rehabilitation, they decided to build a national center for prosthetics. the project has only just begun, but thanks to help from all over the world , ukrainians technologies that were once only dreamed of have become available from lviv , melyano shudlyak and yuriy dankevich tell me in their home workshop 16 km from lviv yuriy bacher puts the part in a vice with his left palm. he tests his american bionic prosthesis truelymp, the manufacturer advertises it as the lightest prosthesis in the world . the device weighing 675 g is able to return even a small movement of the fingers. the colors are green , white and blue, and i mainly use green to hold a picnic, support like this, yuriy bacher, the

first person to have such a prosthesis installed in ukraine without going abroad. he lost the kis of his left hand in in 2013, as a result of the explosion, his protest was remotely printed in the usa on a 3d printer at a cost of about $8,000. this process is actually very simple. yes, the prosthetist scans it or our specialist scans it on a tablet, just shoots a video and a 3d model of the image appears on the screen. and it is immediately loaded into the system. the americans print this prosthesis and send it to us. the process of making such a hand is also there. a little more than a week is that 99 ultra-light prostheses trulymp american company unlimited tomorrow provides ukrainians free of charge. this is one of the many global technologies of prosthetics that were not previously available in ukraine. different companies and manufacturers create bionic prostheses for elbows, wrists or fingers, as well as for knee or shin

joints. this is the last word in prosthetics that restores the patient's natural movements and gait. bionic prostheses themselves the stepanenko family received from san diego a mother and daughter who lost their limbs during the russian shelling of the railway station in kramatorsk on april 8 before leaving for prosthetics to in the usa, they were treated for several months in lviv. when i saw a photo of them already having temporary prostheses installed, i cried again. i rarely share such emotions, but here you can’t hold back about the war. under the influence of the covid crisis, the city government of lviv united three hospitals subordinate to it in one medical system with the beginning of the russian invasion - this association became one of the main strongholds where thousands of wounded soldiers and civilians from the front line in the east, north and south of the country are sent for treatment precisely on the basis of the lviv medical association, with the financial support of cities and governments of other countries and international organizations, they announced the creation of a

national rehabilitation center called nezlamni gandbolkin, the number of patients is increasing every day and we are talking about tens of thousands of people who will need prosthetics in ukraine the largest medical association of ukraine is located in lviv, 4,000 doctors, very powerful potential, the idea to build a rehabilitation ecosystem was born , we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars for three for years, they are planning to build new buildings for the rehabilitation center here, and today iryna zaslavets shows its sprouts to an ultra-modern free workshop of prosthetics that was financed by the maltese aid service and the german government. tells the forgiveness of the future center is such a unique place where every ukrainian who suffered from the war has a chance to be saved by prosthetics and

rehabilitated and that's all at home without barriers without separation from relatives eh ukrainian doctors do for ukrainian patients 33-year-old senior sergeant mykhailo yurchuk is one of the first patients of the workshop with his injuries even to walk on crutches it was impossible for a paratrooper who lost his only arm under a raisin in march, i took my first steps. after several months of treatment, i realized that i can walk, and it was, well, it was, i don’t know . prostheses and not a jump, but a step, his bionic prosthesis . he received a bionic prosthesis from the ukrainian stratap esperb, now mykhailo is learning to reproduce the usual movements with his fingers, everything in this life in general. well, with one hand, it’s not like that . yazati even you can't even think that i'm lucky in spite of everything i will learn how to

use it fully this is a very cool project but there are a lot of my fellow comrades who have also lost their limbs and they would also be happy they probably deserve to receive the same high-quality prostheses. meanwhile, the nezlamni center announced a fundraiser for bionic prostheses for civilian and military victims of war . those willing to help are encouraged to transfer their one-day salary to prostheses until october 19, which was declared a day for the unbreakable. the price of the question is uah 100 million. these funds will be enough to help 50 victims, however, according to the information of lviv doctors, ukrainians who need high-tech prosthetics already today at least ten years older than me well, every day yuriy dankevych for the voice of america from lviv. we watched the program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america at time. join our special broadcasts
