pentagon, he also commented on the possibility of providing ukraine with longer-range missiles and the possibility of a nuclear threat from russia about all this let's talk with ostap yarysh, who joins the broadcast from the capitol hill. ostap greetings greetings , one of the importance of the provision of which is emphasized in ukraine is long-range missiles for attacks, should we expect such help from the united states in the near future? yulia addressed this question today to the secretary of defense of the united states. can provide such missiles, especially in view of the latest russian attack on the energy infrastructure of ukraine, he still answered that ukraine can hit almost any desired target using already existing missiles up to hymares, and therefore the united states will focus, at least for the time being, on further deliveries of such missiles. this was the pentagon's answer to this question. as for other capabilities, yuliu laidosi answered that the priority of the united states and its allies is to protect the skies

over ukraine, and that is why they are focused on providing ukraine with anti-air defense systems in front of the let's listen to his comment as you know now more than anything ukrainians need air defense during the last meeting of the contact group from ukraine, we clearly emphasized this and some countries immediately stepped up and provided such capabilities, we worked hard to get them the n nothings pereo system and we expect that at the beginning of the next place we will be able to get these capabilities in ukraine and train the troops of ukraine ostap considering on the current situation on the border, the pentagon believes that the ukrainians will be able to return all their territories, including crimea, yuliya, this question was also raised today, and it is very interesting, accordingly, in fact, he gave the place of defense the usa still said that the ukrainians actually

surprised many because many people in the world did not really expect that now the ukrainians would be able to withstand and not just withstand but give effectively the age of russia . obviously they did not succeed, but still. he says that it is difficult to make any assumptions about what the ukrainians can do, what the ukrainians cannot do, but the united states will continue to provide military support in order to be able to achieve their goals, and the armed forces of ukraine and what who knows. let's hear what he has to say. i would not like to speculate about what the ukrainians are capable of. i believe that they exceeded the expectations of most people and they succeeded because the international community really worked hard and very quickly provided them with the necessary opportunities to protect their sovereign territory and the ukrainians used it very, very well from the point of view of goals, then the ukrainians should outline their goals , we will not do this for them, again, they are

defending themselves, fighting for the protection of their sovereign territories, we are going to continue to support them only as long as necessary ostapa another question because of the potential escalation, the topic of negotiations this and last week began to be heard more often in the american media. the war will end with a full-scale russian invasion of ukraine. john kirby is a representative of the national security council, commenting on the negotiations, he said that now none of the parties are not ready to sit down at the negotiating table russia is not ready because it simply does not want, it is obvious that putin wants to continue his aggression ukraine is not in a position to negotiate because it is currently focused on counteroffensive operations and it is important to focus on the armed forces this is what john kirby commented on in addition, when these negotiations can take place, he and in what way he

says that it will be decided only by the ukrainian people and the ukrainian government of the green united states to support ukraine militarily until that moment when she thinks that it will be possible, here is his comment on the coat of arms: our role is to make sure that we continue to support ukraine on the battlefield so that when the matter comes to negotiations, president zelenskyi can also succeed what he's willing or not willing to negotiate with the russians , but that moment hasn't come yet, so we're focused on making sure he has the tools and resources he needs to succeed on the battlefield because success on the battlefield will definitely help and affect any future negotiations with ostap. in short, are there concerns? only now, with the planned nuclear exercises that russia is conducting, they say that they

do not see any signs that these exercises can serve as a cover for possible attacks , but they confirm that they are very carefully monitors the situation monitors as much as possible yura, thank you very much ostap, despite filling the government, there are currently no signs of russia's preparation to use nuclear weapons in american society because of the potential threat from russia and many experts in washington are convinced that panic is not justified, at least for now, iryna matviychuk will tell about the mood among americans. among her friends, if we are not in class, we are more likely to talk about the playlist on spotify to our

grandparents and parents who grew up in the cold war era, among their generation it is felt more anxiety it would seem that the worries of the last century are returning to the present, the vast majority of american adults surveyed by researchers of the american psychological association admitted that they are afraid of the start of the third world war in march 69% of the surveyed americans were worried that an attack in ukraine could lead to a nuclear war, it is not clear what exactly do they feel a threat or do they think that a nuclear attack will happen on the territory of the usa or are they just afraid of a catastrophe, and at the present time, everyone who thinks can easily to visualize the potential consequences of a nuclear explosion , in particular the mortality and infection rate, it is enough to go to the internet, select a bomb, put a target on the map and press the button to detonate it, the traffic

of the news map application has now grown to the highest level in the last 10 years, many people in the usa and especially in europe who are trying to check how may look like the use of nuclear weapons, such sentiments among the population cause excitement among experts william alberk - an expert on the proliferation of nuclear weapons calls exaggerated fears that the russian president can really resort to nuclear weapons, i do not think that he mobilized without hundreds of thousands of soldiers causing significant damage to the russian economy and then would use nuclear weapons, it must be one or the other huge political and economic losses in addition to the military losses that russia suffered b because of its combined use makes any scenario of the use of nuclear weapons very far from reality at the moment melvin hardy curator of the children's drawings exhibition at the phillips collection museum in washington, dc they were drawn by japanese children who managed to

survive two years after the first nuclear attack , some of them are still alive, their physical and psychological scars remind us of the horrors of a nuclear explosion . they did not want to communicate with us, they did not want to experience that horror again, there are others who speak with the slogan never again that we should speak out against the use of nuclear weapons these days, we are talking about the nuclear potential of the united states and its nato allies declare that they are closely monitoring the situation while the rest of the world is confusedly waiting for what will happen next iryna matviychuk veronika balderas dmytro savchuk voice of america us secretary of state anthony blinken during his visit to the canadian capital of ottawa visited

the public hub for ukrainian immigrants cafe ukraine is a place where newly arrived ukrainians can get to know each other with each other and to get practical advice on life in a new country, the vice-prime minister of canada of ukrainian origin hrystia freeland and minister of foreign affairs meleni zhuli, all three high-ranking officials noted the cooperation between the usa and canada in countering russian aggression and emphasized the constant support of ukraine. i am glad to welcome you to canada, to show you our ukrainian canadian community and canada's response to the illegal invasion of ukraine. i want to thank you personally to the united states and president biden, america really leads the free world in the fight for democracy, the sovereignty of ukraine, but it is also a fight for our democracy, canada, the united states, we saw

the courage and resilience of the ukrainian people fighting against russian aggression is extraordinary. and we have helped in these efforts from day one . but also to make sure that these ukrainians who left have a place to go and that they will be welcomed with open arms and this cafe is wonderful because it gives a sense of community for people who have left everything behind and it creates networks communication for them so that they can adjust to their new home. the return of women over the age of 17 on october 17 was one of the most massive exchanges of prisoners of war at the beginning of the war, but according to human rights defenders, the exact number of ukrainian prisoners in russian territory is unknown.

according to the ukrainian government, there are at least 2,000 hundreds of relatives of those who are still in captivity are protesting in various cities of ukraine and the world, drawing attention to their stories, chodlyak and yuriy dankevich tell me she waited for this meeting with her son for a long 6 months, and then he returned to the hospital, he bought us flowers for the last six months of his life, he lived in this moment that he would bend us all to see that we would all be together and we would always write about it that i only dream to be with all of you, to hug all of you, to be together with you and this happened already in captivity to lviv native yuriy novosyadlu , he turned 24, he joined the azov regiment at 20, after undergoing difficult training in captivity, he lost 30 kg of weight, his relatives were able to meet him in kyiv only

a week after his release, my son was captured on may 20, and he was released on september 21. well , he was in captivity for four months and i did not hear any news about him from him, and the first person who informed me that he was released was a phone call from my son well, he said that he lived in ukraine, he told me it was the happiest moment that i couldn't believe that it took a few days to actually come to my senses from this message iryna novosyadlo, a university teacher, despite the fact that her son is already safe 8 in october, iryna again went to a meeting of families of prisoners of war. she is one of those who have been organizing similar actions in lviv for months. the border guards are busy. that we will

see each other soon because he thought they were being evacuated. they believed and went out and carried out the order. more than 400 border guards are in captivity. many of them died. many of them died. it is impossible to convey the pain. we are still waiting for two exchanges and they exchanged only 23, which is very little. when we knew that the war was on and the husband left for work in the morning, and so we did not see him again in june, he wrote an e-mail saying that he was alive and well, that he would see you soon . the daughter was seen alive by the father. we thought that he was in zostalia, we waited for them to come out of there, we found out that he was not there in the lists, that's

when the whole horror of the search began. in captivity and thank god alive, you can say the word despaired, it would be wrong, but if we lose a little trust in international law and we see that it works best, except that it is only pressure among the participants of the action, a young man with a one and a half meter poster stands out, this is vladyslav's son, who is waiting for his mother. the last time i am today voice 7 july, she was already saying goodbye to us at that time, then at the rally, vladyslav also told us his story . on july 7, at approximately 1:00 p.m., an unknown number called her. the operator's code was in ukrainian. they called me, and i heard a naked woman. in general, vlad said, hello, i am your mother, at first i

did not believe that i should ask them more questions, that is, about me, about my father and about our conversations, she confirmed them. must be alive and well, but i don't know how long it will be. in two, three, four, five months. this conversation lasted two minutes. all his mother, valery, a soldier in the armed forces , was supposed to return to lviv to address the donbas on february 24, the day the invasion began. well i was staying in azov. i still had the last connection. i was there. maybe twice a week i needed to be able to contact. it was normal here on may 11, when there was a blow on the way to the steel. well, there, of course, every hour. they were sitting and a very large bomb landed right next to them, a very large one, and half of them died right there, right next to them, right next to

my mother. well, you can say that the second was born together with my friend maksym. vladyslav created a banner that drew attention international delegations during the visit to lviv by the un secretary general and the president of turkey in mid-august. we had a male protest because they couldn't call us there, they just shouted at us, there were banners, er, we were at the entrance to this palace. we all stood there, er, then what when the delegation arrived, because they were driving, we directly showed these cares so that they could see that i have it written on the banner, if translated into ukrainian, bring back my mother if she is still alive here's the game words that divert attention are no longer simple material made. but it does not get wet, does not tear. posts in social networks with a banner and the story of vladyslav were shared tens of thousands of times all over the world . the post itself received about 60,000 reposts in three days

, and when this story was prepared on october 17 it became known that 108 women from azovstal were returned from the russian chaff, among them vladyslav 's mother. every citizen will be returned daily yuriy dankevych for the voice of america from lviv stanford university ran a leadership program for ukrainian reformers for almost 6 years, during which time its graduates included, among others, human rights defender oleksandra matviychuk and former deputy minister of economic development nataliya makolska, but stanford recently announced that the program is ending existence and on the basis of the university , they are creating a new format of education for ukrainians, what is the reason for such changes, our khrystyna shevchenko talked with the founders of the previous ukrainian program at stanford, oleksandr and

kateryna akamenka, we know that there is a decision to close this program and we would like to hear from you what the reason for this closure is and why right now , during the russian-ukrainian war, we were invited to the campus together with by our academic partners from the center for the development of democracy, the rule of law, three people who are engaged in the process of reforms in the country immediately after the revolution of dignity and the invasion of the russian federation into crimea, the annexation of crimea and the invasion of donbas we tried to support this spirit of reforms in the country by providing the best access to this academic community, which is in california in one of the most famous, without exaggeration, universities in

the world. well, in connection with let's say hmm, with such shocking events, it was very difficult to understand exactly how to renew the program, and there was a certain, let’s say, i don’t know, conflict of misunderstanding between the ukrainian side of the partnership and the center for the development of democracy, and as a result of this, the director, the new director of the center, catherine stoner , decided to stop the program, for example, the ukrainian program at stanford university, and then in the 15th and 16th years, we met very few ukrainians on the campus to talk about any student initiatives there - an initiative group of ukrainian students was possible at all, if only because their one, two, three , five, and that's it, but it was really crazy at the time that there was even a separate room for russian students.

therefore, it motivated us strongly enough to create at least something just for ukraine at that time time and in fact, well, ukraine began to be heard at the university, some partnerships appeared, scholars who returned, they brought this expertise, their experience and the contacts they acquired on the campus to ukraine, and it turns out that the leaders who came to the campus had the right to choose any classes that are interesting - what they were interested in given their expertise and their experience, the second part of the program is very important is networking and that is, connections, contacts in silicon valley, stanford university let 's talk about the graduates. leaders, where are they now and what do they do? someone

became a member of parliament from the graduates. someone heads online projects. yes, there is such a project, prometheus, which is being developed by one of our graduates. there are people who work in the anti-corruption bodies of the national academy of sciences. are actively promoting such an anti-corruption topic in the country, someone is engaged in consulting, including state bodies, helps there, was in the position of, for example, a deputy minister, yes, or a consultant , as well as the minister of economy, courage, someone engages in courage and invents brands for our country in general, someone uh does human rights protection there he does and pulls our people out of uh basements from, let's say, exile from captivity to graduates and um,

led by mike, some of the heimers drive around our country , it's quite loud, but if it is so and not only them, but we know that our graduates are very er using their contacts that they acquired er at stanford now have access to many congressmen . be on the map in general, the american director of the center for democracy at the state of ford university, catherine stoner, says that the initial program was too small, and the new summer program, although shorter, will allow more ukrainians to complete a course of study at the university of california, circumstances have obviously changed in ukraine this year with the renewal of the russian invasion, but before that, the donors of the program were concerned that it was expensive and not

as effective as it could be, and i think we all share that concern, and that's why stanford made this decision, the idea that our faculty came up with was to combine it with a really successful dragon hills summer scholarship program. so we could bring more ukrainians to stanford for a shorter period of time and it would not result in them having to leave their current jobs in ukraine and i would say that despite all the successes of the initial program, the leader's disadvantage is that it was so small that we could bring only three fellows a year, the full-scale war with russia affected every aspect of life in ukraine and forced millions of ukrainians to leave their homes in search of safety and temporary shelter abroad war and thousands of wild animals in ukrainian zoos and bioparks did not pass by next our story about a large-scale operation with the evacuation of 9

lions from the odesa biopark who found shelter in colorado according to the dramatic story of the rescue by oleksii kovalenko from the odesa biopark found a new home in colorado due to the war in february with the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, a private biopark that had already years suffered due to quarantine and pandemic, lost most of the visitors, and with these, the income is needed to feed the animals since february 24. not a single person came to our biopark. was 800 kg of meat per week due to supply problems and lack of funding we found ourselves in a difficult situation in the biopark decided to give the project or a family of nine lions free of charge to an institution where they could take care of them, and with the search for

a new home and transportation, the warriors for wildlife came, a non-profit organization from south africa, which deals with the rescue of wild animals that have found themselves in a difficult situation in they have been working since 2014 , they could no longer feed the tigers, but they could not allow that these lions died of hunger we began to develop mr. evacuation to get the necessary permits to go and pick up the most difficult thing was to transport the animals across international borders and get all the papers and permits for them transportation, moreover, dalang says, although several parks agreed to shelter two or four lions, finding people willing to take the entire pride was not easy, but in the end, a wildlife sanctuary in colorado agreed to host a lion family from odesa, when the war began, they asked us for help with lions and tigers or other exotic animals , numerous groups from ukraine, most zoos

wanted us to shelter the animals temporarily and then have them return when the war ends, but to transport the animals to the united states and back not just for lions from the odesa biopark, our reserve will become a permanent home. delang personally handled the evacuation operation in may. the lions were transported from odesa to the tirgu zoo. a man in romania, having overcome the distance of almost 1000 km, the zoo agreed to take care of the animals until they leave for their final destination. we tried to leave ukraine, we stretched for 7-8 km, we had a super police officer and thanks to this we easily bypassed the queue, then an escort in moldova was waiting for us, which also helped us quickly go through all checkpoints how i drove one of the trucks and transported four of the nine lions personally in 27.5 hours without sleep a reserve in colorado paid for the flight of lei from romania to the

united states many nature conservation funds joined the financing, in particular the animals of australia in romania leon proved wait four months to receive the extra allowed to travel to the usa on september 29th they finally arrived in colorado it is amazing how smart lions and tigers are most of them quickly learn that they are going somewhere most of all, they understand the people who move them and feel safe. these lions were a little nervous when they traveled from ukraine to romania, but then they began to get used to the people who took care of them and the people who transported them. last week, the lions were released from their cages. football fields they will now live in a 26-hectare vegetated environment, they will be able to roam freely in this area, besides, it is pride
