which he was left with. but we understand that the logic of the historical process has moved on. neither the united states nor china perceives russia as an equal partner, and the payback for russia will actually be a terrible adventure. - recently, because the edition of icons very aptly wrote about this that putin started this war under the slogan that ukraine is the first country that did not happen, but his personal efforts led to the opposite , that as a result of this war, russia itself will become a state that didn't happen thank you thank you it was taras berezovets er and well, actually, we were talking about china and russia and yet what did putin's adventures involve so thank you see you

, broadcast from washington, a program of the ukrainian service voices of america time time i am yuliya yarmolenko congratulations the united states announced a new package of military aid to ukraine in the amount of 275 million dollars according to us secretary of state anthony blinkin this capacity is carefully selected to help the ukrainian military to be as effective as possible on the front lines she told in detail what is included in the new aid package pentagon deputy spokesperson sabrina sing this package is our 24th allocation of equipment to ukraine from the us department of defense august 2021 stockpile capabilities in this package include additional ammunition for himers highly mobile artillery rocket systems 500 high precision

shells for artillery 155 mm caliber 2150 mm remote anti-tank shells more than 1300 anti-tank systems 125 armored vehicles small arms more than 2.7 million rounds and four satellite communication antennas in total initially biden's administration, the united states allocated more than $18.5 billion in security aid to ukraine, secretary of state blinken also said that the united states is working to deliver the first two air defense systems to ukraine already in november, as she explained to herself on sting, the ukrainian military is currently completing training for the use of these systems mid-term elections in the united states are 11 days away lawmakers from the democratic and republican parties are working to agree on a new funding package for ukraine by tens of billions of dollars even before the new

composition of the congress takes the oath on friday, one of the influential republican senators lindgren spoke in support of such a package a to fellow party members who have doubts, he promised accountability for where the money is spent. at the same time, other republican congressmen, master, who just returned from ukraine and may head the intelligence committee next year, said that the republicans may oppose it, because the funding package for ukraine is likely to include unrelated things, more about bipartisan support for ukraine and the prospect of the adoption of a new multibillion-dollar financing, let's talk with kateryna lisunova, who joins the broadcast with the congress katya congratulations congratulations to you julia what is known on this moment about the package of additional funding for ukraine, when it can potentially be approved and whether it has enough support among republicans and democrats, how are you? yulia correctly pointed out that the midterm elections to the congress will take place in two weeks, but it is worth noting that even after these

midterm elections, the new composition of the congress will start work only next year in january, which means that the current composition of the congress will work for almost two more months during which time the congress plans to finish me and the senator at the end of the case, in particular to agree on the defense budget, and also recently , talks began about allocating additional financial aid to ukraine. i, as well as our colleagues from the armenian voice of america service, talked with both republicans and democrats, and they confirmed about such conversations and the likelihood of such a bill, in particular, because they claim that now it is about the financial assistance bill for ukraine in the amount of 50 to 60 billion dollars, it is currently unknown whether it will be approved and there has not yet been a request from the white house therefore, regarding the approval of such a bill, but more details. about when exactly it can be approved and what form it may take, it is proposed that it deserves the comments of the democrats and republicans for the voice of america. the vote for the

entire package should take place. by january, i assume that either at the beginning or in the middle of december, everything it depends on how quickly we finish our work, i heard a figure of about 60 billion. this will obviously cover a large part of government expenses that will help ukraine and salaries for the army, etc. and also cover the future military aid, and here it is worth noting that these are not checks that we are just going to write in ukraine, these will be the corresponding amounts that will be allocated during the next financial movement, thus it will cover the expenses until this september, we are discussing what we can do before the end of the work of the current 117th congress to make sure that ukraine has all the help it needs, i can't say more details about it. but i can say that this is a very active discussion and many of us continue to encourage the biden administration

to provide all possible support i in the past weeks, which came first from the republicans and then after the so-called false letter from the democrats, can this really indicate that the unity has been shaken, what are the legislators saying, as you correctly noted in the statement from the leader of the republican minority in the house of representatives, kevin mccarthy, as well as from the progressive contest of the democratic party, caused a number of discussions and debates and even criticism from fellow party members from both parties . voice of america spoke to both republicans democrats, and they failed to explain what the latest statements could mean, so for example, david price, a concert democrat, stated that the withdrawn letter of the progressive caucus of the democratic party primarily calls for continuing to seek

a non-diplomatic solution to the issue, but in no case not on terms that are beneficial for russia and the russian of aggression, republican victoria sparks said that the main criticism of republicans now lies in the fact that separate things that are not related to aid are included in the aid package for ukraine for ukraine and this causes criticism among republicans suggests that a more detailed explanation is deserved in a comment for the voice of america just now with us defense they have made great efforts to prevent the misinterpretation of this letter, also the provision of assistance and full support of ukrainian defense are not incompatible with the continuation of the search for diplomatic options, the war cannot last forever and in the future significant diplomatic efforts will be needed, but it cannot be diplomacy that rewards russian aggression, the white house has

to understand that the congress will monitor what they are doing to make sure that everything handed to them goes to the designated places, this is extremely important for us as the american government and for the long-term support of ukraine, since this is not an easy war, this is not a situation that can be solved overnight and the american the people should know that we are watching to ensure that their hard- earned money, which they are ready to provide to ukraine to fight this terrible aggression, really goes to the right things for the right people, katya, is it worth it to expect that the new congress will help ukraine on a bipartisan basis. this is exactly the question we asked yulia. both the republicans and the democrats actually claim that the aid to ukraine will remain steadfast regardless of the composition of the new package, actually taking into account the fact that not so many seats will be up for grabs. in order to get a majority in the congress, therefore, the vast majority of the congress itself will remain

as it was, at the same time, they also note that the voices that are now heard are mostly radical voices and their own majority republicans and democrats continue to support ukraine, and in this sense the most important thing is the support of their own citizens of the united states of america, ordinary americans who continue to support ukraine and actually be inspired by ukraine's actions and ukraine's resistance to this russian aggression and unjustified aggression against an independent state, i suggest that they deserve more than an explanation from themselves countermen, both republicans and democrats, so merry what the people. i think that, first of all, everything depends on the position of the people in our country, how they feel about it they watch because politicians react to the position of people in each party there are many differences you will find people with different views but ukraine

still has the bipartisan support of the american people and this is extremely important i want to say the following to ukrainians and frankly to the world and especially even to russians who can watch us the voices you hear right now - these are the ones that say extreme things because that's what makes the ratings if it doesn't sound crazy but the vast majority of republicans from democrats support you the vast majority of americans support ukraine, but i don't see any serious changes after these elections. i think it will be very difficult to speak out against ukraine when every day we get new pictures of horrors created by the russians. i think that the country is quite united. i think that you are united internally and i also think that we play a certain role in the unification of europe, which did not always have a common view on many things, but the west's reaction to ukraine was extremely unambiguous.

of the americans are in favor of continuing to provide ukraine with security assistance, so again it really looks like the americans continue to support ukraine in particular and security assistance . poles were brutally attacked this morning in the californian apartment of the couple, according to sushi, and here the attacker beat the 82-year-old man with a hammer. he suffered head and body injuries and is now in the hospital, according to the spokesperson of nancy polosi, doctors are giving the man excellent care and predicting a full recovery of the attacker was detained the white house issued a statement in which it was emphasized that president joe biden prays for the field of the semi -axis and condemns any violence, the leader of the democracy chuck schumer called the attack under the act, and

the leader of the republicans mitchmakonov said that , horrified and outraged by these news, the fbi and the capitol police have already joined the investigation of the attack. unknown, however, the incident raises the question of the safety of members of congress on the eve of the elections, the american media, citing law enforcement sources, said that the attacker shouted at de nancy and wanted to tie up her husband before the arrival of the speaker of the house of representatives. the united states still does not see signs that russia may be preparing to the use of nuclear or chemical weapons against ukraine, however, washington takes the threat seriously and continues to closely monitor the kremlin's actions, concerns about escalation have emerged after moscow's accusations that ukraine is preparing to use a so-called dirty bomb on its own

territory, which in washington is called a lie , how serious can be the threat that russia itself will use a dirty bomb, nuclear or chemical weapons, our colleagues from the georgian department asked experts about this, says tetyana broshko, project director of nuclear information the federation of american scientists says that the dirty bomb is considered a weapon of terrorists and is not used for military purposes, it is basically a pile of radioactive materials that are surrounded or around chemical explosives so that when the chemicals explode they spread all this radioactive material it is mostly considered a type of terrorist weapon it has no military use a dirty bomb at least created a house in the neighborhood something like this there are different ways you can try to increase the spread by improving the explosive or detonating it higher so that it spreads over a larger area but again there is no evidence that

ukraine has such a weapon, or russia, for that matter , but it is mostly considered a terrorist weapon, an expert on geospatial intelligence from the institute for the study of war says that even the use of such weapons on the battlefield will not help russia achieve its goals in ukraine. oh, now we estimate a low probability that the kremlin will use weapons such as dirty bombs, chemical weapons, or other forms of weapons of mass destruction if the kremlin uses dirty bombs or nuclear weapons in a terrorist attack to try to demoralize the ukrainian people and achieve surrender - this will not work, nor will the use of a dirty bomb, chemical weapons or other forms of weapons of mass destruction solve the fundamental problems associated with the russian military company ; logistics it also won't give them air superiority or solve any other structural problems of the russian

company except if the kremlin uses this type weapons in ukraine - this will remove one of the last deterrents that prevents western countries from taking a more decisive part in the war in ukraine if putin uses these weapons and it does not lead to a decisive and russian victory, it will most likely be suicide for russia's ambitions in ukraine, a senior researcher at the atlantic council points to three possible goals of the kremlin's dissemination of information about the dirty bomb, which ukraine seems to be planning to use, there are two or three possible reasons, one - this is just general propaganda to show which ukraine is bad, although no one believes it anymore, the second possibility is worse than the first is that russia plans to use a dirty bomb and wants to be able to blame ukraine, this was the soviet tactic of accusing the other side of what they themselves are doing or intending to do, and

the third option they know that this tactic will be seen in the west as a sign that moscow is possibly going to use a dirty bomb to intimidate the west into not sending more weapons to ukraine or to force it to insist that ukraine lead negotiations on russia's terms of a cease-fire, however, western leaders say that the west's support for ukraine is firm and irreversible tetyana vorozhko kartlosti shereshenidze voice of america we continue to release evil must have a name in this convinced radio freedom journalist and activist stanislava sev from 2017 to the 19th for years, assiev was held captive in the kotiv camp, isolated in occupied donetsk after the start of the full-scale invasion of russia, the man founded the justice initiative fund to search for war criminals based on information about them. in the fund are offering a reward and hope that the informants themselves will be the representatives of

the russian security forces, stanislava sev told about all this in an interview with my colleague ostap jarosh stas. thank you for taking the time. thank you for the opportunity of this interview. of justice, an organization that investigates war crimes, as stated on your website, tell us more about this project, what exactly do you do, what kind of work? well, actually, we borrowed practice from one side of the united states of america, which pay a reward for terrorists for information about terrorists, and by the way, in the united states, this is not only done by the state at the state level . yes, about their kidnappers, then they hand it over to the police if it is relevant, they pay off the informant, we want to do the same thing and we are only at the level of war criminals of the russian federation, that is

we have created a kind of portal that gathers information about people who are officially suspected of committing war crimes. this is very important. i want to emphasize that on our website we place people who have only been officially suspected of committing war crimes by the ukrainian law enforcement system or international law enforcement well, for example, in the case of gorkym and zemelche 17, we, ah, fields, well, we rely on the decision of the prosecutor's office of the netherlands in this case, not even the ukrainian law enforcement system, and we plan to pay a reward for information about of these people. that is, every person, be it a natural person or a legal entity, can go to our site and replenish our fund. the total amount is accumulated on the general account, it is distributed evenly. that is, it is the same number for all criminals , people who are suspected of committing crimes on our website and further, we offer the payment of this amount for three points, for one of the three points , is it correct or so to say, this is the first provision of new

evidence of a war crime that is not yet in the criminal case, for example, a video recording of missiles there on boeing or a video of torture from isolation, this is the transfer of the war criminal himself to the state of ukraine by anyone in any way, we are not interested in this, we are interested in the fact that a person is on the territory of ukraine under control and the third is information that will directly lead to his arrest but to- or or proof information about the death of this person that he is no longer in the world, that's actually one of these statements, if it is fulfilled, we are ready to pay the reward, which will be subjectively er-er decided well, let's say so by the board of our organizations, who is there? is your main audience , on whom do you expect to receive this information from them, and it is actually the russian special services , the russians themselves, this is our main beneficiary of the withholding of the reward, because it is necessary to understand that , first of all, the russian special service is not a monolithic structure, even internally of a separate separate unit well, for example, the fsb, that is, it is clear that there is

competition between the fsb and game a, but even within the fsb there are uh, well, several directions that compete with each other, that is, to earn on uh from that information about these people, well, it’s not a question for them at all. and in fact, such a practice already exists, and i think it’s not a secret that billing cat actively uses it, which creates, among other things, its investigations based on the information that they transmit. those russians, only they do not officially leave work for them we want to come out officially so that people can see what specific amount is offered for an individual criminal or person who is currently suspected of crimes, or have we managed to get some information on any of the suspects, but that's it they sent information on one of the persons involved in the isolation, but it refers to the year 19 , that is, for us operationally it is of no importance. but it must be understood that we have not yet entered the information market of russia, our strategy is to accumulate at least a few dozen thousands of dollars in our accounts, taking into account the fact that on our website there are

commanders of russian brigades, colonels, lieutenant colonels, there are such slides, and there are several thousand dollars, this is not the number that we can convert into some quality information, so we we want to raise money first, and then through e-e certain channels to enter the russian information market. do you have any strategy, plan how to spread this information, how to educate through these channels, how do they plan to do it, it is controversial, it is the same russians, well , first of all, the fsb is definitely about us already knows because , first of all, my account has been monitored for a long time , even from my work in donetsk, and so do they. i think that they continue to monitor it on facebook. therefore, these people know about us for sure, because we have only one. well, when we came out with advertising in ukraine immediately blocked the paypal account due to the complaints of some people, respectively, it was most likely the russians, as they monitor my activities, and with regard to the information market of russia, therefore, we plan to go through such people as oleksandr nevzorov asyechkin , that is, people who are currently outside russia but have an influence on the russian audience through your

channels, well, on youtube, for example, on social networks, one of the divisions of your organization, evil must have a name, many in the west, including those who believe that evil has only one name, it is vladimir putin and that only he responsible for the war for war crimes against ukrainians, what can you say about that? well, i hope that this idea, if it has not gone away, will soon go away altogether with public opinion in the united states and in the west. absolutely false. and by the way, the allusions to the history of the same nazi germany give an answer to the fact that it is not the case that then only hitler could be blamed because his activities became massive thanks to the support of the germans at that time and now the russian federation and vladimir putin are only the personification of the russian people who allow him to do this, i'm not talking about the fact that it's really uh our uh our slogan evil must

have a name just shows that there are many people who are specific people who committed war crimes and it's not vladimir putin, yes. that is, it could be some vasya saratova, a private in the russian army, it could be girkin, it could be a brigade commander of various levels, people who are responsible for what is happening in ukraine now, in your opinion, do they have a russian to bear collective responsibility for the war against ukraine is indisputable, again here the analogy with nazi germany is very difficult. i would say so to separate people who are russians who do not support what is happening from those who fully support it, but the general assessment of what is happening should be that not only vladimir putin and his entourage, as well as the russian people, are responsible for what is happening in ukraine and must pay reparations, that is, when this time will come, and it is only a matter of time, in fact, that they understood why this applies to every family in the

russian federation why do they have to pay something well because at one time you were either silent or fully supported rape torture on ukrainian soil thank you thank you approximately 750 thousand ukrainians decided to seek temporary refuge in germany after the start of a full-scale invasion from russia to ukraine in germany, immigrants can get free social housing if the family finds an apartment worth up to one thousand euros per month, the state agrees to cover rent, finding a house of such value is not an easy task, and some germans deliberately reduce the prices of their apartments so that they can be rented by ukrainians with the state program, so the andrienko family from kharkiv found a three-room apartment in dusseldorf. our khrystyna

shevchenko visited them as a guest. this house is located in in the central district of dusseldorf, where the middle and upper middle class of citizens live, and here the state rents the so- called social housing for the andrienko family , a three-room apartment for a family with two children the third child is studying in slovakia, we have two large apartments, we have two large bedrooms, a beautiful hall and a kitchen, we go to the children's bedroom, the children's bedroom sleeps here, we were here when the andrienko family came to dusseldorf, temporarily settled with a german family, later found out what they could have a separate apartment for which the rent will be paid by the state. and no, they approve it for family members , and a specific sum is added up for family members, a specific amount that is considered the norm here in germany, you find an apartment for this amount, you give them the document

the passport of the apartment, the center agrees and the state undertakes to pay for the apartment. the amount that the german state agreed to pay for the family of the andrienkos should not exceed 960 euros, and finding housing in dusseldorf is an extremely difficult task, and even for such a price and happiness, the andrienkos smiled in the volunteer in the center, we accidentally met a family of germans who agreed to rent an apartment to nataliya , and now it turned out that cornelia and andrienka are good friends, so that their apartment could be included in the state rent compensation program, they have 1,600 euros lowered the rent to 940 euros per month, many of us feel sympathy and we are very unhappy that this is happening, many of us have parents who went through the second world war and they know what it is like

when people lose their homes. we contacted a volunteer whom we knew. she contacted andrienko's family and i offered an apartment, but that's not all. we're helping the state. if the state didn't pay, we could rent out the apartment three times for 6 months for free, and then we'd have to be a little more rational. the eldest daughter, 17-year-old victoria she probably entered the dusseldorf college and needs a space to study and she couldn’t even dream of a separate room, i have my own room and how do they live, eh, not all teenagers now, but they live in some dormitories, eh, there are only children, all in one a room for 3-4 children, no free space for

time and other things, so i am very glad that i have my own room, and in terms of furniture, a lot of andrienko was given by the germans or donated by volunteers, for example, this sofa in a large room or a computer for my daughter, i had to buy something from my own pockets for example, cabinets, and the state of germany also helped here. the state of germany pays a monthly allowance for all family members of grown-up people for adults. we have social benefits of 404 euros . and to pay the utility bill or travel in public transport is unrealistic, the state helps, so we wrote an application for winter things and the state gave us all $1,100, and for winter things, the state also gives coppers
