on the air from washington, the program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america, i am yuliya yarmolenko. congratulations, the representatives of the progressive wing of the democratic party in the us congress withdrew their letter to president joe biden, in which they called on the administration to review the strategy regarding the russian war in ukraine to conduct direct negotiations with russia and combine military and economic

aid to ukraine with an increased diplomatic push to find a realistic mechanism for a ceasefire, this letter caused a wave of criticism from both other members of the democratic party as well as from the ukrainian authorities on tuesday, the head of the progressive focus in the house of representatives of the pro-military party said that there was a mistake. the draft of the letter was created several months ago and the assistants of the legislators sent it in disagreement. more about the situation and the future of support for ukraine . ostap, congratulations, yura , a lot of things have been happening in the past few days, how do these 30 democrats explain the appearance and withdrawal of this letter and what their position really is people, the situation is quite strange, i saw yesterday the mayor this letter that you spoke about later after the flurry of criticism, and which poured out on the signing of this letter, we saw another appeal from prime minister jay-pal from representatives of the passive wing of the democratic party, there she explains what is wrong

understood this letter and that in no case did the congress call on me to end military or economic support to ukraine, on the contrary, they called on it to continue, but at the same time, to strengthen diplomatic efforts in order to stop russia's war in ukraine, this appeal was made yesterday , today, less than 24 hours after the publication of the initial letter, we saw another appeal where jaipal had already washed away, saying that she, along with the other signatories, are withdrawing their priority appeal, what was an error and that this letter was sent without consent, some members of the congressman who saw this letter and whose signatures they saw under this letter say that they signed its cheek at the end of june or the beginning of july and that since that time many on their their opinion has changed. therefore, now they would never sign such a letter. members of the progressive wing of the democratic party regarding ukraine with regard to military humanitarian economic

support explain this. let's listen to their appeal . in ukraine, if the republicans come to power, the temporal closeness of these statements created an unfortunate impression that democracy which is decisive and unanimous supported and voted for every package of military strategic and economic aid to the ukrainian people somehow connected with the republicans who seek to interrupt american support for president zelenskyi and the ukrainian forces nothing could be further from the truth every war ends with diplomacy and this one will also end after the ukrainian victory and actually in i tried on this letter, there is already a peacock in the back. i also have a position, which is the position of kevin mccarthy - he is a representative of the republicans in the house of representatives . in the event that the republicans will come to power

and take over the house of representatives, and even if this support for ukraine, in particular military and economic , may face obstacles, although, for example , senator mitch makonova serhiy of the republicans in the senate, on the contrary, says that we need to support ukraine, we need to strengthen this support even more, and in particular calls for this white house this is also the position of the republicans of faith in contrast to the fact that we started from ostap's democratic party. what reaction did the content of this first letter cause in to the white house, the congress. you know , the content of this letter caused a lot of criticism, in particular among the members of the democratic party, among the colleagues of these congressmen , and in congress, in particular, chris murphy, this senator, a democrat, says that the risk of too early negotiations with putin can lead to the fact that ukraine can waste its territories and then and he will not abide by any agreements, he also said that sometimes a hooligan needs to show the limits of his power and then move on to

some diplomatic settlement methods as well other congressmen democrats reacted and said that this appeal is a letter it's like pulling an olive branch of peace in a war crime, which by the way is now losing the war, some uh democratic legislators said nancy pilotsi and this is the leader of the representatives uh and she is a democrat now in croatia they also said that the support of the congress will not weaken, and on the contrary, the congressmen, both in the democrats and republicans, on a two-party basis, will stand with ukraine until the victorious end , she said yes. as for the white house, they said that yes, they saw these letters. and they continue to cooperate with the congress to support ukraine, but without ukraine they will not

solve anything. policy and approach, mr. zelensky also said that he also wants the end of this war, but he does not think that now is the time to sit down and negotiate with putin, we respect his opinion on he is the commander-in-chief of this. so we will continue to focus on the fact that his troops can succeed on the battlefield and that mr. zelensky can succeed if and when the time comes to sit down at the negotiating table, a statement is possible and indeed over the past week ostap we have heard statements from both democrats and republicans who can testify that a certain percentage of congressmen may not agree with the fact that ukraine should be helped as much as necessary, and this is what the biden administration is emphasizing, or is this a cause for concern regarding the future of bipartisan support for ukraine, diaspora activists who have been

working with the congress for more than a decade believe that bipartisan support will be maintained despite any statements made by tatyana voorzko, our colleague talked to the president of the ukrainian congressional committee, let's hear what his position is on this and we need to be prepared for moreover, we should expect that the community, because it will be all the more hard to work, will be forced to take an active part after the elections that will take place er, in november, er, but i will tell you that you need to think positively, er, one thing, as everyone knows, there is one topic on which republicans and democrats agree in the congress, it is support for ukraine, and i think that the majority of one party and the other in the future , he will support and will provide this

help, but i think there is also a lot of it, it has to do with the elections, so i think that this is , firstly, political rhetoric, and the second is that i know that our community, our organized community, will treat it aggressively and will work we will definitely be with you on this. we will monitor the development of this situation. thank you, ostap, in contact with kapitalur bobovesh. 3 billion dollars per month, with such will be the approximate needs of ukraine in external financing for the coming months, said the director of the imf managing director kristalina georgieva at the conference from the reconstruction of ukraine, which began on tuesday in berlin, if the russian bombing becomes even more dramatic, the needs may grow to five billion, she added , where to get the money for reconstruction, how much she will continue and can partners help ukraine already this winter we will talk about the main topics of the berlin

conference with our european correspondent bohdan tsyupin bohdan greets good evening what mutation is the conference or are there the first results well actually the conference is already over and listening to the final speeches today i would say that there are any results about which it could be said that such and such an amount was allocated for theta for theta, but there are no such results, but it is worth emphasizing that from the very beginning this the conference was conceived as a gathering of international experts, as well as representatives of countries and financial institutions, and they determine the fundamental points regarding how to work on the restoration of ukraine on

long -term projects. for membership in the european union, then the future reconstruction, the post-war reconstruction of ukraine should take place together with the process of ukraine's integration into the european union and, for example, the host is the co-host of this meeting german chancellor olafsholz emphasized that it is about creating an infrastructure for transport, so that european markets are fully open to ukrainian products, etc. in the medium term, as he said today in berlin, the issue of the reconstruction of ukraine will arise, as was the case with the reconstruction of

germany after the second world war, and in particular other european countries, and he particularly emphasized that what is actually being said about the marshall plan for ukraine, here are his words: destroyed homes and roads will have to be restored and businesses repaired, this is a job for generations, and therefore i would like it to be intelligently prepared and thought out, it is no less than the marshall plan for ukraine, and we are like that and formulated the derlyalyan fund with mrs. it is important that even after 15 years, ukraine, recovering, can use financial structures that will support it in the future, understanding the direction of movement, and this is precisely why this conference and we adhere to this very serious issue, indeed bohdan, the marshall plan is a plan for years, if not decades, equally, the past few weeks,

russian troops are purposefully striking critical infrastructure in ukraine, in particular , energy, can partners help ukraine already this winter, which looks like it will be very difficult , what can and must help, and there are specific promises of such help from the governments, not necessarily as far as this e conference of experts is concerned, it is about e-e governmental e sources it is about international organizations at the meeting in berlin, instead, they talked about broader, general things, for example, even about how much money would be needed for reconstruction in ukraine, now the european union adheres to the estimates of the world bank, which says that it is about 349 billion in total

costs, but for example ukrainian prime minister denys shmehal, who took part in these talks in berlin, talked about 750 billion. that is, these are , in fact, astronomical astronomical sums . at this stage, they do not actually have more firmness, because even while we are talking with you, russia continues to destroy ukraine, that is, the amount of destruction increases as long as the hostilities continue, the end of which is not yet in sight bohdan, it is really true and there is political will to help ukraine. but where will this money come from, the 350 billion or 700 billion that the ukrainian prime minister is talking about? by the way, it is worth reminding here that the

marshall plan cost a total of 12 billion dollars and these were loans for a huge part of the western europe is true. they say that in terms of modern money, it is about 150 billion, but ukraine is still a very large country. the destruction caused by russia is terrible and the money will be needed. where will it come from ? it will probably first of all be international financial institutions and governments. although there is now a lot of talk about frozen frozen funds of russian oligarchs, in particular, but for this we need a legislative framework, on which, in particular, mr. scholl said in berlin, now the international community is still working. thank you, bohdan, very much in touch with bohdan tsyupan was in london. we continue to

talk about the organizations of ukrainians in the usa, whose work only became more active with the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia. among them is the texas-based liberty ukraine foundation, which has expanded its activities and helps military personnel on the front lines , forced migrants and ukrainian refugees. the brewery of stuffed dolls and souvenirs from ukraine is just one of the charitable events that the ukrainian community has been holding in austin, texas since the beginning of the full-scale russia's war in ukraine, all the money raised goes to help the armed forces of ukraine and displaced people, says event organizer toni levchuk, founder of the local liberty ukraine fund. i think there were at least 600 people who passed. it's just people who want to help so much, and the support is just crazy. every weekend, something happens here. uh, a few weeks ago we had yourselle, it was when

all the people brought some things and sold them , then collected money. themselves, where they live, they collected money for their neighbors, ukraine, the activist says, together with other ukrainians in the living room, they have been helping ukraine since 2014. and in the spring, the organization was officially registered when a full-scale war began, and most of the team decided to unite again, many soldiers with whom we worked in 2014. many of them have now become commanders. they already have greater needs because more people are asking for requests. 82 drones, four cars, uniforms, tactical equipment, electronics, first aid and other things needed on the battlefield are only a part

of what the fund managed to collect. for the past six months, we have not had a physical office. we are trying not to have any expenses for punts, that is, all the money that goes to the fund, it all goes to ukraine. our volunteers do not give either their premises or they provide their garages just like i have at home under the ceiling, i have never seen such devoted people who prioritize help in ukraine more than there time with family more than there their careers their businesses that is, they put a lot of heart into it and in general no one receives any money for this, the liberty ukraine team consists of about 30 people, mainly in texas, activists in new york and krakow are also involved in logistics, and in ukraine there are volunteers of the lviv public organization , the principle of consciousness, its founder, roman lobai , says that in addition to supplies of advanced equipment from activists in the usa and other countries managed to

establish the local production of thermal clothing , today it is possible to provide people with work, to be sure that ukraine is ukraine and will be, so i think that one of the best ways to help and support people, it is to provide them with work and that is why we have provided for which we will hand over to the military, we sew in ukraine, we sew here with patriotic patriotic hands and with great love for our military, it is very difficult for me to accept words of thanks from the military because i uh i am much more grateful to them because today i am here in the warmth, i am in a place where it is safe, conditionally and in detail, rockets fly, where they do not shoot, where they speak ukrainian only thanks to the fact that our soldiers are on the front line of fire and we are obliged to do everything to make it as safe and warm as possible for them there. at the moment, protecting us is another important line of work of an activist called helping children from the traumatic war. for this, the lviv clinic of st. nicholas combines a special game room with a projector and a computer with computers provided free of charge by

a texas company, but in places of collective living in lviv they conduct art therapy and physical classes with the funds raised during the charity auction for t-shirts painted by children of immigrants, we have to give them to the children who now consciousness is growing, we must take care of the psychophysical condition of children who will continue to build our country, who will not just live in this country on this territory or will understand that they are a nation, that they are united by one language, one values, and culture, and then when the children will be psychologically healthy mentally healthy, then i think that our country will be stronger and physically because our ukraine has to be protected by people who understand why they are protecting a new project of a texas organization collecting gifts for the christmas holidays for children of immigrants and those whose parents died in the war, we now have an amazon dish-list where we collect gifts for children for the holidays, this project will last until the end of the month because we want to have enough time to deliver it all to ukraine. we

want to bring some magic to these children because it will be a different christmas, it will be a different new year for all families in ukraine and uh, we also send postcards and even to the front when we hand something over. we try to sign some flags or postcards and it always warms the soul of our boys and children to the creation of postcards and drawings for ukrainians on the front line involves even the children themselves to show them about the victory, everyone can and should join maria prus and yuriy dankevich oleksiy osika - voice of america poland country where they found temporary shelter over a million displaced people from ukraine so that displaced children do not lag behind of the educational process in the capital of the country, warsaw, a school was opened for them,

now the warsaw ukrainian school already has 300 students and 22 teachers from the occupied territories and places of hostilities. our khrystyna shevchenko, ukrainian schoolchildren rush to lessons to school in warsaw together with others, fifth-grader nastya from kherson in ukraine came to school, i had a school number 51, our teachers began to be threatened if they switch to the russian program, then we will close this school and we will evict you all, and then they all freed themselves. i had one friend. he is now in turkey, uh, his mother was killed when they were leaving kherson. nastya misses her native kherson, and the girl's polish life is getting easier the school was opened in april on the initiative of polish and ukrainian public

activists for children like her from the occupied territories or those places where the fiercest battles are being fought. ukrainian-language education takes place in accordance with the program of the ministry of education of ukraine. appeared as a chance to give ukrainian children to finish the academic year 2021-22 . of active hostilities, this is the east, south of ukraine, the central northern region, although, in principle , today shows that there are simply no safe places in ukraine, children are in such a state of anxiety because we all have relatives there, all of us have loved ones there ."

meetings now, is it correct? i'm a teacher. i had a great time in the fifth grade. i'm a computer science teacher there. i'm still in touch with the children there . many of our people who left are calling me. some computer scientists will help. anna nazarova misses her native school in kherson after the russian invasion of her hometown. she had to leave school with her three-year-old son to flee from the occupied city to poland. it was scary. when we drive 5 km to the village of stanislav, we were missed at the last post and shot at. back and

all the prayers that you remember are mentioned here, you don't remember any, as they say, walking is not a child, well, she left , but it's so normal, now i'm trying to get used to it and forget it, but it doesn't work for 22 teaching places in in april, more than 600 applications were received, they selected the resumes of those who already have work experience for refugee teachers, working in a ukrainian school in warsaw is also a kind of therapy, because it helps to distract and return to normal life. the first time it was very difficult for me because i, well, i left everything my parents are there, i have a husband, it seemed to me that i, well, how betrayed that i left my country and went to another where everything is calm, where i do not see or hear all this, and then i began to reassure myself that i

work with ukrainian children, that i eat help what i come to class, i give them a smile, i give him some feelings. i really like my work. nastya says that the ukrainian school helps her adapt. my brothers and sisters are all ukrainian . and then it will depend on whether the war in the school among students and teachers will end. they change every day. there are many emotions and there seems to be one stable desire to come home. where to plant there-i sat there but to return home from warsaw khrystyna ta bohdan shevchenko voice of america and in the capital of latvia ryzyn there are currently approximately

40 thousand ukrainian immigrants about the history of two of them ludmila and natali, job search and adaptation in a new place, viktoria babinska will tell, here were the first little ones glass is expensive, but it was already very majestic and a lot of glass, tourist groups from ukraine met on the streets of old riga before, but today tours are not conducted for tourists, but for refugees in latvia, ukrainians who more than 40,000 people fled the war. we want to help the ukrainians who came here to integrate into latvian society and our environment. they really want to get to know our country. such excursions help to distract from bad thoughts. people become more cheerful . we have a friend who lives here, plus i learned that i can confirm my medical diploma and find a job

in my specialty that, in principle, i can find a job there by profession lyudmila, a doctor from odesa to latvia she came with her daughter back in march, in her past life, as they say, the refugee left not only her job in a private clinic, but also her small business in riga. lyudmila managed to get a job at one of the hospitals . which were introduced by volunteers, and then i went to work and there was no time left to learn the language, but i learn the language in the process at work, communicating with colleagues and patients, and i read latin quite well, and i still read well in latizhian, but in the future from cherkasy, i couldn't find a job in six months, i settled in with friends, she says it was very good, according to her, they had dreamed of visiting riga for a long time, but she couldn't imagine what would end up here in such a situation
