but it is interesting if the success of their leader is important for the elite, or whether the question of his change has already arisen, how do you always feel in the circle, too, there has always been dissatisfaction, if the politics of the leaders, semyon, is your day, and the politics of the leader, the totalitarian elites, because they are connected with commerce and business, if we want to be successful , it requires some kind of freedom, freedom of activity, of course there are problems, but if the price of your free thinking is the price of your life, the tories will tolerate and have already trained you for 20 years, if you are a businessman there and the freedman starts something, then there is the case of the magnetic one and many other cases of businessmen who were just banally killed but did not have time to flee abroad in time. well, if they kill you, it's better to sit there quietly and give

what they ask for and you sit flat on your ass to somehow save your life. i was interested in what they have. you know, this idea that they are not very successful in propaganda. and let's listen to this thing very quickly now, because for me it was something new in general from such a thing. well let's let's go let's listen and then you will quickly comment. when i regularly talk about ukrainian public media and watch ukrainian tv channels, i become envious. eyes, the last 15 years, because the elder knows how to take it into an information war .

it's a shame to say that we didn't prepare for military action, we didn't have eight years in reserve , a whole generation of professionals went there, that is, when he says that some english specialists are in charge of marketing, ukrainian advertising, even in the zeroes, they were at the level of moscow . a personal account was put up, yes, the financing of which was not stolen, it was not stolen, it was launched and works today every day on pobedu, but you literally have 30 seconds to comment on this, i am not excited. i wouldn't have said it like that, i think shevchenko was, but uh, yes, i think he is right, because we are the right ones.

writer minister of education of the ukrainian people's republic of ukraine from october 27 to the fourth of november 1937 in the karelian tracts of sandarmoch soviet authorities shot 111 people crimes of the kremlin they always say we can repeat on the air from washington the program of the ukrainian service voice of america time there i am yulia yarmolenko congratulations the states announced a new package of military aid to ukraine in the amount of 400 million dollars, in particular, it provides funding for the conversion of anti-aircraft missiles defense hawk and dozens of tanks and 72 in addition, the money will go to the purchase of 1,100 finex ghost drones and other

equipment. thus, from the beginning, the work of the biden administration, the united states has allocated military aid to ukraine in the amount of almost 19 billion dollars and the united states will continue to stand side by side with ukraine in this struggle as long as it takes, with such a message, the us national security advisor jack sullivan arrived in kyiv on friday more about the new aid package and further support for washington, we will talk with ostap yarysh, who joins the broadcast from the capitol hill ostap congratulations, congratulations yulia pereosna , the shipment of t-72 tanks to ukraine, as they say in the pentagon is a joint project of the united states of the netherlands and the czech republic. how exactly will the equipment be modernized and when should we expect the first tanks on the front line yuliu, first of all, i want to emphasize that we are talking about 90 t-72 tanks, 45 of them will be financed by the united states of modernization, the other half of another 45 tanks will be financed by the netherlands exactly how they will be reequipped, as explained by the pentagon, it is about

installing modern optics on these tanks, modern armor and communications systems will also be added. when can ukraine expect now until what is going on about this improvement of the modernization of these tanks, however, as explained to the pentagon , ukraine will be able to receive the first batch of these and these systems in december, and the rest will be received in 2023, but it is important yuriy to emphasize that in this package for 400 million that we saw today, it is not only about transfer tanks and the united states and the netherlands and its about other systems provided by the united states, and it is also about armored river boats , it is also about funding for the re-equipment of 250 armored vehicles, as well as re-equipment, as you have already said correctly missiles to anti-aircraft defense systems and now the air defense system itself is one of the priorities of the allies of ukraine, including the united states, in the process today in an interview with voice of america, john kirby

, a representative of the national security council of the united states, said these are his words, i will tell you we are working closely with the ukrainians almost every day discussing the capabilities they need and what we can do or provide them now much attention is paid to us air defense provide air defense since the beginning of this conflict we are still studying what can be done with more advanced capabilities to help the ukrainians shoot down drones and cruise missiles with which the russians continue to attack civilian infrastructure we also work with allies and partners approximately 40 other countries provide security assistance to ukraine france spain germany did indeed a large contribution to the provision of some additional means of air defense to ostap, should we expect that the united states will actually go to the transfer of american tanks to ukraine,

abrams tanks, so far we do not see this, this question was also addressed to the pentagon, why does america not provide its tanks, abrams tanks, to ukraine, and they answered that at the moment, the introduction of these tanks into operation, the logistics of the transfer to ukraine will be difficult and expensive, and they say so in the pentagon says that this is a waste of time, that is why they decided to modernize and significantly improve the tanks that are already known to the ukrainian armed forces, these are the t-72 tanks, they are reinstalled and with their new modern systems, so that the ukrainian armed forces could use them faster and could also service them, however, not all lawyers agree with this opinion, in particular, the former commander of the us ground forces in europe, ben hodges, believes that the united states can and should transfer tanks to ukraine . he expressed in a comment to the ukrainian service of the voice of america that there is no

good reason why we have not done it yet, so learning will take time, but no one learns faster and better than ukrainian soldiers, so for that a large package of material and technical support will be needed because abrams tanks require a large amount of fuel and the requirements for their maintenance are different from those of a typical ukrainian tank. okay, but let's start this process so that by the end of april there will be ukrainian units equipped with abrams leopards or other modern tanks and tracked combat vehicles let's start don't waste time talking about how long it will take just start i can't to find a valid political reason why we didn't do it this year. it's an interesting idea. indeed, this friday, with an unannounced visit to kyiv , the us national security advisor jack sullivan ostapa, what is the main purpose of the visit of a high-ranking official at this time and people really came as a surprise,

the visit of e- e national security adviser of the united states, we saw that this week senators also visited kyiv, before that there was a deputy secretary of state, now this week ends with the visit of jake sullivan to actually one of the most discerning officials of the white house administration, he met in kyiv with president volodymyr zelenskyi, he also met with mr. reznik and the minister of defense of ukraine, and he came to confirm that the support of the united states, both military and humanitarian and economic financial support, will continue as long as it takes , he said, and he said that this support will not waver. why is this visit important right now, we know that on tuesday in the united states there will be mid-term elections for the united states congress and many were worried about what support the united states would have after these elections. lebanon in kyiv confirmed that regardless of the results of the elections, regardless of which party wins the majority in the house of

representatives or the senate, support of the united states will be steadfast and will continue , including military support. what words did he use to comment on this, and even the states is going to be with ukraine the states will be with ukraine as much as needed in our support, there will be no hesitation, no hesitation or retreat, we want to ensure the availability of resources for continued support in the field of security, continued assistance and strengthening of the ukrainian economy, continued assistance to ukraine in the restoration of its energy network, assistance to refugees and other humanitarian needs, and we have a clear the intention is to make sure that there will be the necessary resources for this and that for this we receive votes from both parties. thank you ostapa, my colleague ostap was on the call from capitol hill yarosh and others there, an ambulance was

presented to ukraine by the city of richmond - the capital of the state of virginia. this is already the 20th ambulance to go to ukraine as part of the ambulance for ukraine project. it was initiated by an ordinary american , chris manson, at the request of his seven-year-old daughter. they came to the ceremony in richmond. representatives of the local authorities and senator mark warner, the chairman of the intelligence committee, the senator and other participants of the event signed the letter and conveyed their wishes to the soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine and the ukrainian people, the vast majority americans support the struggle of ukrainians for freedom, we send government aid and also conduct charity events such as when the local community organized an ambulance and sent it to ukraine. this is the 20th ambulance they

have sent. i am sure that this car will go to the front line and literally save life i am proud to participate in this event, which demonstrates our support. i want to tell the ukrainian people that not only misha, but also nato, the european union - the world, you are supported by other charitable foundations, friends of ukraine already sent 70 carats of ambulances to ukraine, as well as one fire engine and several trucks, ambulances say the benefactors are the direct targets of russian shelling, so stop there they are not going to meet friends of ukraine kateryna lisunova and kostyantyn golubchyk met their story further 17 ambulances have already been repaired brandon's company plans to get a total of 27 ambulances back to working order by thanksgiving on the last thursday of november and ship them to ukraine some just need new batteries and a good cleaning in others need to restore electricity, replace tires, fix brakes and other things. our main goal is that they

do not have to do anything, so that as soon as the ambulance arrives at the place, they can start working almost immediately. if their ambulance, say, breaks down, they can simply take stretchers and all the equipment from the destroyed car. and install it on our ambulance all systems are ready for this brandun 41 he is from the state of virginia for the last 16 years the man has been engaged in the repair and rental of ambulances when his company buys a lot of new fast cars, they decommission older cars that are used for spare parts or sell transport, we are trying to restore the radio systems as much as possible mr. brock - told us that the military there are very good at connecting civilian radio systems to

theirs . with something very useful for them, as soon as they are on the spot, ukrainians will be able to communicate through these means with everyone with whom they need to sniff normally brock burman worked for seven years at the us agency with of international development, he currently heads the charity organization ukraine friends, which was created in the united states in may of this year, during this time, together with other organizations and activists, they managed to send almost 70 ambulances, as well as one fire engine and several trucks to ukraine, if we want to ensure so that our first-aid kits and other help reach the grammar schools that need it the most, that is why we are working directly with general serhiy sobko from territorial defense and with the ministry of health care to make sure we clearly

identify those units that need the most help a new ambulance can cost from $1,050 to $300,000 and up brand name ambulances have saved lives for 10-15 years considering the repair costs the brand sells them to a charity ukraine friends for 3.5 thousand dollars per unit cars were originally intended for our own company but when they will go overseas and help ukraine in their struggle this it's incredible, so this is a great opportunity for us, we are extremely grateful for the opportunity to help. there are days when they lose up to eight ambulances a day. i couldn't even imagine that such a thing is possible, but to buy a fast one is only half an exercise. it is much more expensive and difficult to deliver them to ukraine . shared by the director of ukraine

friends we have another problem - to send them is actually more expensive than the express car itself. the lowest price that i have found now is almost $5,000 for one car. the border is very expensive. currently, this is the main goal of raising funds for the ukraine friends organization. today's event aims to tell about what is happening in ukraine and, frankly, we have raised the fact that we need funds to help people in ukraine, in particular, for ambulances in the face of constant russian attacks . friends are also engaged in the restoration of children's playgrounds and other infrastructure.

the occupation took place, where the houses were destroyed and 5 playgrounds were already installed, in the same way in the village of moschun, we are rebuilding a community center, a member of the kyiv city council, dinara havivulayeva, arrived in washington a few days after the first russian attack on kyiv with drones , ukrainians in general are indomitable people, because even when the last one was yes, compared to february 24, they were much stronger, much more powerful, but people accepted it. it was much calmer, more balanced and more ready. kateryna lisunova, konstantin golubchyn, voice of america washington seems to have decided that if it cannot take ukraine by force, it will try to freeze it into submission , state secretary anthony blinken said on friday, drawing attention to the fact that with its shelling, russia has already seriously damaged or

destroyed 40% of the country's energy infrastructure and populated areas throughout the country are currently suffering from interruptions and with the electricity supply at night, there is no lighting on the streets of many cities, and ukrainians are urged to save electricity by burning clocks, in some regions there were wind blackouts the school in khmelnytskyi works even when there is no electricity supply, as tetyana kukurika and serhiy rybchinskyi found out, every classroom in our country is decorated in the style of that country, what is it called, in our country it was the usa, here we have china, respectively, in china we have a little dragon. classic, the entire three-story building, a language school on the first floor, vegetarian cafes on the second and third auditoriums, where almost 1,000 children and adults study 10 foreign languages ​​and improve ukrainian. stops even when the whole city is out of power,

the first evening when the power went out, the school was not ready for the next day, it was already pulling out the lighting. it may not have pulled out the internet yet, and so on. russian shelling did not affect the work of the school , the owners took care of the backup power in the original way with the help of electric cars, electric cars are charged in parallel while there are light, we charge one and the other is connected to the network if possible, that is, when one of our electric cars runs out of charge, we can connect the other and then ask for another electric car near the school yuriy and his sister, the founder of the institution valentina, have arranged a mini the charging station can be turned off here at any time, it is organized here, despite the

fact that the usual outlet here is almost like stationary commercial chargers, let's say , it turns on and can be connected if one electric car and at the same time in our customers they charge tesla when they ask, but recently when there were power outages we forbid them to charge with us since peak times, the three electric cars they have charge only when the minimum load on the city’s energy system will allow the car to keep on light bulbs for 24 hours and on everything else, this one will allow it to last a day and a half with a slightly better battery, that is, if there is also a chevrolet bolt of 66 kw, well, accordingly, it is already 3-4 days, you can ask him for more in parallel, thanks to this training continues under any circumstances, if there is no electricity, then in fact the lessons would be canceled, but actually because

of the fact that we have such a large power bank on wheels and the management had the opportunity to connect the school to the power network of such an autonomous e in fact, the lessons are taking place, well, in any case, the backup power is not used for the operation of the electric kettle, the machines are waiting at this time, only surveillance cameras and internal lighting are working, ordinary light bulbs have been replaced with energy-saving ones a situation like this happens in the country, there is no light, there is no electricity, and you understand that every light bulb you turn on carries a load on the entire energy system and everyone is trying to save, we replaced all our light bulbs, if the light goes out, this is the situation and after that, the administrators know that they just have put it down, they go to the reserve for power. accordingly, we see that there is lighting, and at the moment we are no longer taking it from the network, thanks to a thought-out decision in advance, there is no school left without internet, and today, when the light goes out everywhere, we also have our backup lighting, and we also already have our internet,

which simply comes from the common highway, so it works for us as long as it will work in general. well, the main point of their internet is a car has already been laid in the city, the decision to provide the school with electricity is the merit of yuriy nechiporuk by profession, he is a radio technician, although he considers himself an eco-activist as early as 2017, he switched to electric cars, and in the 19th, on the roof of his own dacha, one one of the first in khmelnytskyi to install solar panels, if you take all our consumption of the house and electric car business, then 30 kw of panels are covered by zero consumption, and maybe even more is produced, well, the only thing here is that we depend on the sun, yuriy and valentina installed solar panels independently, well, you can see from the fact that the house is old in terms of windows, in terms of technology, in everything , in fact, new technologies are already starting

with solar panels and an inverter, which, by the way, is currently working and feeding into the network through it the scoreboard is visible here and you can immediately see in sunny weather its solar panels produce 200 kw of electricity per day, says yuriy, according to the activist , this is generally enough to provide for an average ukrainian family for a month, if everyone uses the panels on their houses, then this will be absolutely enough to cover the needs of every home tetiana kukuryka sergey rybchinsky for the voice of america from khmelnytskyi the russian campaign of propaganda and disinformation has reached a qualitatively new level gave an interview to the ukrainian voice of america service, a researcher at johns hopkins university peter pomerantsev pomarantsev was born in kyiv, grew up in great britain, lived for a long time in russia and now lives in the suburbs of washington, he is considered one of the leading researchers

of russian disinformation and propaganda since the beginning of the full-scale war, a researcher for several years visited ukraine several times, where he joined the recommendations project is a team of ukrainian and international journalists , lawyers and analysts that collects testimony about of russia's crimes in ukraine in order to form cases for the courts and also prepares media projects for the mass media, they talked with the researcher tatyana vorozko, one of the central themes of your latest book is not propaganda is that in russian society it is not only there that they claim that there is no objective reality everyone has their own reality , why is it dangerous, what is the pool saying, or is it you who also claim that there is no good and bad, you know how they say everything is relative, there is no evidence that you can provide in your defense because it is true comes from power if you are strong you can manipulate the truth and determine the truth this is what

they say i think they are trying to prove it in ukraine they are trying to show that they can kill with impunity change borders destroy lives decide for the ukrainians who they are because they are stronger than you and therefore do they have the right to come here, is there any more or less detailed report on how you define what the russian peace is, maryanchik, ideology plays a certain role, but more as a side dish than the main dish, look, they already had seven the reasons for the invasion of ukraine, denazification , then nato, petro and this is constantly changing, but what does the russian peace mean, it means that the borders are absolutely amorphous, the meaning is amorphous - this is simply a state of desire for more, endless dissatisfaction and the inability to be satisfied with the russian government, especially i would say sergey lavrov, explain the sanctions or any - what actions are taken against them, russophobia

is actually the fact that people for some reason do not like russians. is this a propaganda manipulation or do they really not understand the connection between their actions and attitudes to them everything they do propaganda they consider the public sphere as a space for manipulation and this is deeply expressed in the entire russian discourse both among ordinary people and among high-ranking officials like lavrov, also talk about russophobia - this is a way of forming a mental siege in russia, in general there is a problem in russia with cause-and-effect relationships, this is a sign of a very sick society when people do not understand how things fit together in them. these relationships are broken in their place, something semi-mystical, as if sanctions came from somewhere, inflation came from somewhere, it could be one of the reasons why people don't want to think about these things is easier to explain with some kind of conspiracy and it

helps them to unite, if it didn't seem ridiculous to us, this approach can be quite effective. pages of ukrainian history, etc. do you agree with this? if so , how can you make russians look at their past ? in the case of germany japan after world war ii but we are talking about a century of trauma when people are often both victims and tormentors you have to admit that you are part of the system that benefited from the system or ignore its bad sides people were with the gulag victims and perpetrators of crimes as well as perpetrators of crimes against colonial subjects, ukraine did a great

job in this regard, making the holodomor a clear page of its history, this is a classic case of cultural trauma, ukrainians understood the pain , established who is responsible, created memorials victims and now they can move on, the essence of work on social trauma is that society can move on ukraine did a great job and russia did not do anything like that at all and did not even try in the west it is often called putin's war against ukraine in russia what do you think about this the terminology you mean. unlike the war, this is the war of the russian state against the ukrainian state. therefore, this is the war of russia, what we are seeing now is not just a war that started now, but really revealed the russian imperialist culture culture in the sense of expression
