watching the program of the ukrainian voice of america. i am nataliya leonova. i congratulate you on monday. american pumps and air defense systems arrived in ukraine. spyt about it minister of defense oleksiy reznikov said and thanked norway for the supply to spain and the united states. also, on november 5th, the washington edition cited sources. that russian president vladimir putin does not take negotiations seriously joins our studio from capitol hill congratulations ostapa congratulations natalya so ostapa the ukrainian ministry of defense finally confirmed today the receipt of our anti-aircraft missile system asphalt what kind of equipment is the air defense system together - these are one of the most modern systems that exist now they are

of the ground-air class they are small and medium short and medium range can hit targets within a radius of 30-40 km as they say in as they say manufacturers pour norwegian and joint-norwegian and american production can hit essentially all targets from drones to airplanes and cruise missiles, these systems are quite effective, i will remind our viewers that they are also protecting washington, including the white house, what does this mean, ukraine is switching from a soviet -made air defense system to a nato-style air defense system together with nasomma, we know that earlier the iristi subtractive system was also transferred to ukraine, it was also about the hok system from spain, and the ispaid, which we also saw today, also transferred it spain, they can hit these systems targets at a distance of 25 km and are also quite effective in protecting the sky in order for ukraine to

have an immediate and good defense, it needs powerful new equipment. for today, and about us, there is everything about aristi, about spit, about all other systems that the allies provided and will provide to ukraine . now we know that ukrainian partners want to help ukraine create such a comprehensive a multi-layered air defense system over its cities so that it would be possible to hit targets at low and medium and at higher altitudes and also at different ranges. this is precisely what analysts emphasize that such a system must be created so that russia does not have superiority in the air and in in principle, russia still does not exist. and the ministry of defense of britain also speaks about this, they say that by the way, it is also very interesting

to note that the number of aircraft that russia currently has is unlikely to be able to restore them or repair them, so they say that ukraine needs to continue analysts and british officials continue to supply air defense systems or russia was never able to gain air superiority rather, it is an attempt to increase the support of those ukrainians who are hesitant to provide more assistance to ukraine because they fear that this war may drag on for years. the official position of the administration is not significantly

more important than what we hear about in the press and what the administration says. today, we turned to the national security council to comment on these reports. they clearly commented that nothing about ukraine will be decided without ukraine and that only the ukrainian authorities and the ukrainian people will decide what and what will be the conditions for the end of this war at the moment, so that its broadcasting does not see that russia is ready to end this war, does not see that it is ready to return the territories, this may be one of of the basic conditions, he says here and this was also commented on by the national security representative john kirby in an interview with the voice of america. let's listen to what he said. the war must end . it can end today. if putin does the right thing, but i think we should see what is really happening on the ground. and what is happening, the russians continue to try to hold and occupy ukrainian land, we judge the russians by what they do, not by what they say. and what they do shows all the signs that they and

they want to continue this war and kill innocent ukrainian people, and therefore we must do everything possible and help ukrainians to protect themselves from these threats. for this information, let me remind you that ostap yarysh was in direct contact with us. putin , the founder of pvk wagner yevgeny prigozhin admitted russia's interference in the american elections , russia news reported on november 7, referring to a related press service of prigozhin and his so-called troll factory is under by american sanctions for interfering in the election since 2016, and from march 2022 the usa introduced additional sanctions against him in connection with the full-scale invasion of ukraine. on november 8, the usa will hold midterm elections to the congress and

to the legislative and executive bodies of some states, while new research by security firm recordit future indicates a likely increase in misinformation about the reliability of voting machines and systems, although these attacks are likely to be less intense than during elections the president of the usa two years ago, about the main challenges in the new year interim whirlwinds, including the threat of interference from both external and internal players, will be told by maria prus during 2022 on fake accounts on social networks in the usa, which are believed to be from russia. for the most part, it was quiet, but the situation changed in august with the us mid-term elections coming up, we've seen these accounts start to gain momentum talking about how the election will be rigged, about ballot stuffing, etc. that the democrats will try this way defeat by deception the city belongs to a network of researchers, cybersecurity experts, government

agencies and those who monitor social media websites, state media and law enforcement announcements what to monitor from coordinated disinformation companies with russia , china and iran, fake news sites created by organizations associated with those hostile governments spread information that divides american society, then these stories are spread by impersonators in social networks who pretend to be americans. such in this way, russian operatives are sowing division, which is allegedly not to be trusted in the voting system, and the chinese operatives, in turn, are drawing attention to the scale of online concerns about the integrity of voting as proof that american democracy does not work, in addition to the fact that these fake accounts encourage voters not to vote and talk about falsification of votes and also worried that it is possible that on election day they will try to provoke some kind of violence or harassment of workers at the polling stations so we're following these conversations in

the southwestern state of aerozone. mathematician dylan murphy says he's concerned about the real-world effects of online misinformation. they simply did not have the opportunity to independently understand these issues. two years ago, the situation in the state of arizona was one of the important electoral challenges in the presidential elections where us votes at the request of the republicans in mary coppa county confirmed the victory of joe biden, many supporters of donald trump continue to claim that the election was falsified, that the votes could have been manipulated via the internet, among them the republican candidate for governor of arizona - karilike, the workers of the election authorities of ricopa county claim that the machines for vote counting is not connected to the internet, they broadcast live how voters put ballots in ballot

boxes and how votes are counted also, in addition to physical security at the sites, we monitor the security of ballots and the entire voting process, which is reviewed by the bipartisan council by observers from political parties and many checks throughout the process to make sure that every voter is counted and only valid ballots are counted, not cut with a measuring stick, mitchell says that the stakes are much more than who controls congress sometimes we win sometimes we lose and feel like we should have won well anyway we stick to the democratic process, we pass it on to the foundations of democracy as it should be, and this is exactly what is great about america, this is our democratic process, and we need to follow it, early voting is already underway in kherson, maria prosmishilquin, voice of america, a few weeks before the midterm elections, republicans and democrats made a series of statements that sowed doubts about further support for ukraine,

in particular, the leader of the republicans in the house of representatives said that ukraine will no longer receive unlimited aid, instead the progressive wing of the democratic party made public and then she withdrew the letter to the president in which she called on the administration to negotiate with putin. what will the future be like with two-part support for ukraine in the new congress? my colleague kateryna lisunova explained the details. see her story for details. more than 40 million americans have already voted early in the midterm elections. as of november 7, as the legislators themselves such political experts assure that regardless of the change of forces in the congress, the support of ukraine will remain unchanged the majority people who will be elected, republicans or democrats , will support the policy of the biden administration regarding ukraine, and i think that we have to thank putin for everything because of the nuclear threats and the terrible things that have

happened to him. there will be more republicans in the new congress who are skeptical about helping ukraine, but i do not think that their number will exceed 30% of the republican wing, they will remain a minority among republicans and a very small minority. in general, in the congress, critical statements about ukraine are mainly voices of the radical the left and right camps are partly dictated by the considerations of the election race, they do not reflect the general position of the party on ukraine , they consider expertise in times of economic recession in the united states, times of rising gas prices, etc. politicians are playing politics, they want to assure that they are protecting their voters as best as possible ukraine is not is a top priority for american voters, according to a poll, 80% of citizens consider inflation and the economy to be the main problems, but if the republicans hold

a majority in one of the chambers, they can review the aid system for ukraine, experts say, in particular, which economic, humanitarian or military aid will be given priority by the new congressman we hear signals at a high level that support the continuation of military aid, such statements come from both republicans and democrats, but we also hear concerns about macroeconomic aid some say that the funds are too much, others criticize that there is no transparency and accountability. i believe that the ratio of security assistance should be much higher than any other aid, we have to make sure that we support the ukrainian army, any aid to ukraine should be considered as a security investment in its own state, say analysts."

chinese legislators are discussing an additional aid package for ukraine. it should be voted on. by january next year, before the new congress begins work, according to american politicians , this will guarantee aid to ukraine regardless of the election results. the vote on this package should

take place. by january, i assume either at the beginning or by the end of december, everything depends on how quickly we will close other issues. if the figure is about 60 billion for aid to ukraine, the chances are quite high that the administration will ask for additional aid and we will have time to vote for it. i would already support such an addition to the general bill on appropriations for the completion of congressional elections are the start of the presidential race, depending on who will lead the white house, politics in ukraine depends much more, experts say, dance, changing the positions of members of congress regarding funding for ukraine should cause less concern everything depends on which republican presidential candidate will decide the issue of ukraine the last word in the end for the american voters is the audience kateryna

lisonova kostyantyn golubchyk voice of america washington these candidates who in these midterm elections oppose the continuation of providing ukraine military aid risk losing the votes of the ukrainian diaspora, for example, many americans of ukrainian origin who traditionally support the republicans this time they are talking about the fact that they are voting for dokrat because of his more about the ukrainian position, can the votes of ukrainians affect the results of the elections in this state, lesya bakalets found out whether she supports ukraine or not, for ukrainian-americans, this is one of the main questions for congressional candidates in these elections, this approach is especially noticeable in the states with a large ukrainian diaspora, for example, i agree with the candidate who supports ukraine. and why does the existence, independence, sovereignty of ukraine

depend on podar america and support america depends on congress its weight lives in several tens of thousands of americans with ukrainian roots traditionally most of them support the republican party i have been a republican all my life i first saw a speech by ronald reagan at grove state university and became interested in politics i attended many political fund-raising events i always voted for republican candidates and never betrayed his convictions, only this time michael dobronos changed his political choice by 180 degrees and already voted early for the candidates from the democratic party for the senate because he supports ukraine. i already voted for tim ryan, he is one of the first democratic candidates for whom i actually voted in my life, while the republican senate candidate jay divens plays a financial aid to

ukraine in the war with russia should be stopped ukraine is a great ally for us and we want the ukrainians to win, but i think we should eventually stop the flow of money into ukraine we cannot finance a protracted military conflict that in my opinion will have a negative effect on our country, such rhetoric does not reflect the position of the entire republican party, experts insist that only some candidates, mostly supporters of donald trump who uses the kremlin narrative when discussing ukraine, and i think that the kremlin acted very wisely, they understood that there is a part of the republican party that is attracted by that the same approach as that of putin, they are ready to support his program, they are ready to use his type of disinformation because they do not believe that this is a political

argument in their favor, such candidates explain that if they stop helping ukraine, the money can be spent on solving the internal problems of the united states, but such an argument is manipulation, says jonathan kads, general us aid to other nations is usually 1% or less of the total federal budget, so it's a very small percentage of funding and overall budget allocation it works differently, experts assure, if you cut funding to ukraine, this does not mean that funding will suddenly appear that will help american taxpayers, provide them with some tax benefits or change social security payments, in fact, people who are in favor of reducing funding for ukraine, they also want to reduce social security, domestic expenses money for financial assistance to ukraine mostly comes from funds allocated for various purposes of the

nation and defense, these funds do not come from internal expenses of the country and, frankly, the republicans, the congresses are the loudest in favor of a very large defense budget, even if the composition of the congress changes and the republicans gain control over both houses with the support of ukraine, most likely this will not have a significant effect, experts believe, i do not think that the ukrainians should be worried that they will lose the support of the united states states because there is a wide and deep operational support for ukraine. however, i think that ukrainians will have to regularly inform new members of congress about why this support is important. if the approach to supporting ukraine changes, then not immediately after the elections, this year's congress will remain in power until the end of the transition period, until the new composition of the congress begins to work. it is the current congress that most likely has to adopt the most important laws for the next year regarding politics and assistance to ukraine of the law on national defense, but ukrainian

americans are sure to risk the support of ukraine even from one senator, they can't afford it, i actually don't know anyone who says i will vote. now as ukraine for the republican candidate, we have further ties from the day ukrainian communities, lithuanian poles , slovenians, and so on, which have a history behind them, an unfortunate history, hmm, with the soviet union. and now they see a threat from russia, then they also see what should be supported e-e candidates who support ukraine who will take a seat in the senate from the state of ohio republican jay divens or democrat ryan will be known on tuesday, according to preliminary polls, the candidates still have the same chances for victory and although there are several million

ukrainians in the state, according to some estimates, there are no more than 50,000, their decision to support the democrat can affect the result, experts say, because even a few hundred votes play a decisive role. new york city has hosted one of the largest marathons in the world for more than four decades, the new york marathon has seen more than 50,000 runners participate in the event in different years, along with the competition in chk gu and boston, it enters the six largest and most prestigious marathons in the world this year only from the ukrainian running club of new york, 65 participants ran in the city's central park, iryna solomenko spoke with them, this year's new york marathon gathered more than 50

thousand runners from all over the world, the first at the beginning of the pandemic, it is reflected at full capacity, despite the generally accepted rule that according to the policy of sports, ukrainian runners tried to make the most of this site in order to once again draw the world's attention to the full-scale russia's war against ukraine, and since august, the founder of the ukrainian running club of new york, anna and her associates tried to get the organizers of the new york marathon to ban runners with russian and belarusian citizenship from taking part in it, before that such restrictions were introduced by the organizers of the nbustoni marathon considering no more than 1 500 signatures on the corresponding petition is the attention of the american media , the new york marathon never introduced restrictions for belarusians and russians, our petition was based on the fact that why is it so fair that in a nation that is responsible for the genocide of the ukrainian people, they travel freely and enjoy life at a time when ukrainians will no longer be able to, now they

cannot fall through the war or they will never be able to because they died, they simply quoted that they do not discriminate against any nation in the world , ukrainian activists also demanded from organizers to return the money to those ukrainian runners who, because of the war, could not take part in the event. dollars in this matter, the organizers met one more thing that we say - we demanded in the petition that we also ban all russian flags, emblems, and so on. and there was no russian delegation , there was also no russian flag and there won’t be one at the end of this year at the finish line, only eight athletes flew from ukraine to participate in the marathon. some of them ran for their dead on

svitlana's friends are very interesting. she runs more in memory of her friend, who was a great runner, a great volunteer, a patriot of ukraine, who died, who she has. unfortunately, two who were athletes loved life and unfortunately will not be able to be known. more, the cube itself is not a sign of protest against the participation of russians and belarus in the marathon, they refused to run, several of her associates in the club supported this protest, the rest tried to use the marathon as a platform to convey to the world the truth about war, 65 athletes ran under the club, and all of them joined the action called not mariupol, which has already been held at several of the largest

marathons in the world. communities are under occupation. these cities are forever ukrainian and people see or all the names also understand that they are ukrainian, they are temporarily under occupation and thereby conveying this message this energy. we believe that they will return very soon. they must belong to ukraine. tetyana samokysh ran in a manikin. call me kalanchak. this is her hometown. it is located in the kherson region, almost on the border with crimea, and since the beginning of the war, occupied by the russians, the most interesting thing was to hear when the americans who have never even seen the name of these small cities, not only the big ones , which myotopol-mariupol luhansk and when they saw your small place and tried to read and say that they support you, it is clear

this marathon gave me strength. i think all ukrainians dedicated their country to their hometowns. this is my hometown, where i was born and grew up. for me, it is more than important and every step is long and far. i thought about those people who are important to be constantly reminded not only of ukrainians but also of the world that the war continues, osmanka's hope ran the new york marathon for the second time in april, she flew to the boston marathon and decided to stay in the united states while the war is going on in ukraine, it seems the most terrible thing, people are getting used to it and our message our mission was to remind every ukrainian who took part in this marathon today, everyone ran with ukrainian paraphernalia, everyone ran, everyone finished with ukrainian flags, and we really demonstrated the unity of our nation, who are you, who are we, and no matter what, we remain this way on

february 24 every ukrainian has dota after glory to heroes. it is very difficult to wake up and think and think ah, i can't give up for you. i understand that it is difficult to think about your people and your country, but i am sure that those who are there, who is fighting, who those who help and those who remain are much more difficult for them, that's why i can only support ukraine with all my thoughts and means. running a marathon is never easy, because it's easy, i'm probably running too slowly , that's why it was difficult and every time i wanted to stop and i ran not for myself, i ran for ukraine this country is worthy of everything i traveled to ukraine from
