america service, time, i am nataliya leonova, congratulations, will give ukraine a new package of security assistance , including air defense systems and missiles for the systems received earlier, announced this in on wednesday, white house national security adviser jake sullivan, previously the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general mark miri, said that more than 100,000 russian soldiers were wounded in ukraine and added that the armed forces of ukraine probably suffered losses of a similar level, or were the statements made against the background of russia's announcement of the withdrawal of the western bank of the dnieper near kherson to its troops, which some experts call a potential turning point in the war for new us military aid to ukraine, official washington's reaction to the latest events around kherson, the future of support for ukraine on the part of the usa, after the midterm elections, we will talk with ostap yarysh, who will join our studio with the capitol. announce a new package of military aid to ukraine

, what is ostap talking about next? we saw today the announcement of a new military aid package in the amount of 400 million dollars, in particular, it laid down some capabilities that did not exist before, in particular, four avengers air defense systems and stinger missiles to them. in addition to this, we saw in the new package and missiles for the hok system, which spain previously provided to ukraine , saw additional missiles for hummers, many shells for artillery and mortars, including high-precision shells, grenade launchers, armored hummy vehicles as well as special winter equipment, small arms, optics for it and much more, this package was announced today, it was already announced in the pentagon. i would like to remind you that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the united states has already provided military aid to ukraine for more than 18 and a half billion dollars. natalya ostapa , a new aid package was announced after russia's notification the withdrawal of troops from the western bank of the dnieper, how washington officially reacted to these

reports, but today jeyxel ivan commented on this, the national security adviser of the united states said that this is an important military event for the ukrainians, if it is confirmed that russia does withdraw its troops from kherson and from kherson and the kherson region. he says that the usa is closely monitoring not only the statements but also the actions of the russians. will continue to develop. if this is confirmed - says - jake sullivan - it will be a witness to the fact that yakiv in the battle for kyiv , as well as in the battle for kharkiv, is now doing for kherson ukrainian troops won a victory, but this does not mean the end of the war, he says, because russian troops continue to occupy other ukrainian territories, he was asked whether the usa will push ukraine to some compromises for negotiations, if it is confirmed, russia has left kherson, jake sullivan's answer has become clear , he says there is nothing to sway the ukrainians, there will be no decision about when and in what format and under what conditions to conduct

negotiations will depend on ukraine and the ukrainian people, here are his words i said the day before the president. we are guided by very simple in principle, nothing about ukraine without ukraine, in the end, ukraine has to make decisions related to its diplomatic course, our job is to make sure that they are in the best situation on the battlefield, so that when and if an opportunity for diplomacy arises , they are in the best position at the negotiating table, i have nothing to do with you to say today about the likelihood of any negotiations, now the ukrainians are focused on protecting their critical infrastructure from these barbaric attacks that kill civilians and harm mostly the functioning of the economy, as well as the return of their territories, the united states will put pressure on ukraine, we do not insist on something, we consult with ukraine as partners and demonstrate our support not only through public

statements or moral support, but through tangible physical support, such as the military aid that i mentioned earlier, russia's announcement about the decision to withdraw its troops from the western bank of the dnieper immediately began to be actively commented on by american military analysts, what are the main theses we heard from experts, but in general agree with the administration's assessment that if it is indeed confirmed that russia does withdraw its troops from kherson, it will mean a great victory for ukraine and will testify to the fact that for more than 8 months of war, russia has not been able to achieve any serious gains, they wrote the former us ambassador to russia, mike mcfall, tweeted about it, and the former commander of the us ground forces in europe, ben hodges, also reacted. let's hear how they commented on it. putin lost the battle for kyiv, he lost the battle for kharkiv he lost the battle for kherson where he will lose again predicts that president

putin will next lose the battle for crimea the decisive stage of the campaign next summer and then he will lose the internal battle in the kremlin before the end of next year ostap at a press conference dedicated to the mid-term elections president biden said which took place on november 8, he told a about the fact that a is still counting votes in three states in ukraine is monitoring these elections after all, it is very important for ukrainians that the congress preserves bipartisan support for kyiv, what can ukrainians count on after receiving the final results of natalya's vote in the white house, they say that regardless of the election results, regardless of who will ultimately control many representatives and the senate, support for ukraine continues and will continue joe baik did not speak at the press conference yesterday according to the results on the first day of the voting day of the midterm elections to the congress, he said that he expects that both republicans and democrats will continue to cooperate with the white

home regarding the further support of ukraine against russia's aggression. he expressed such plans that after his return, and that is precisely the group of 20, he wants to meet with the leadership of the democrats and with the leaders of the republicans in congress to discuss this issue. let's listen to his words. i think the american people clearly gave to understand what he expects. that the republicans will also be ready to work with me in the field of foreign policy. i hope that we will continue our bipartisan approach in countering russian aggression in ukraine when i return after meeting with the rest of the world leaders at the g20 summit in indonesia i am going to invite the leaders of both political parties to the white house to discuss how we can work together until the end of this year with the next congress ostape well, the composition of the congress will start working in january that on the agenda regarding

ukraine the current composition, who remains to work almost two months ahead , there is a transition period of 2 months, when will it still work, as you correctly said, the previous composition of the congress is currently being discussed about possible approval new funding, including budgetary funding for ukraine, and so far we have not heard official requests from the administration, however, some congressmen in the voice of america comments stated that such conversations are currently underway, they say the amount is approximately 50-60 billion dollars, they say that it is likely that if such a request is made, then voting for him can be expected in december, but again, so far it is at the level of conversations of official requests . when there will be some specifics, of course we will talk in more detail on our broadcast or eventually you will be able to read about it on our website or in the networks. thank you ostap. ostap

yarysh was in direct contact with the capitol. his own political future may depend on the results of the candidates supported by the 45th president of the usa, whether the republican candidates supported by donald trump will get into the congress or governorships according to experts, how americans vote for the so-called magicians of the republicans, my colleague kateryna lisova understood the political influence of the 45th president of the united states, donald trump, is a separate topic of discussion in these midterm elections, the candidates he nominated in party elections are now competing for governorship and congressional seats this year, we will return the house of representatives we will take back the senate and we will take back america in 2024 most importantly we will take back our wonderful white house author and evening capitalist jay devens in

who was supported by trump according to the account, announced the forecast for a seat in the senate from the state of ohio, vance will replace another republican, the co-chairs of the ukraine support group in portmann's funeral sonata, the latter consistently supported ukrainian initiatives , but now decided not to run. what's going on there thanks ohio republican party we just got a chance to govern we got a great chance to govern and we should take it instead in pennsylvania democrat josh shapiro is projected to beat trump nominee douglas mastriano in the gubernatorial race , while nighamshire democrat maggie gassen is ahead of another , beating trump to a landslide in the pennsylvania senator another trump nominee mehmet oz is expected to lose to the democrat john in fetman the latter was supported by former president barack obama and the president in

bide aerozone is another state where trump candidate cary late loses democrat kathy hops in the race for the gubernatorial seat, blakemasters, who is supported by trump, loses his seat in the senate to the democrat mark kelly, meanwhile, two republicans who have a relatively cold relationship with trump were re-elected to the post of governors in the states of new hampshire and georgia. in total, trump nominated 37 candidates in these elections as of november 4 20 of them are in the lead 16 will lose their fate and one more will be decided by a by-election in four weeks we will hear the voice of the voters of the state of george in the state of georgia where the sinai seat democrat rafael voronok and trump- backed hershal walker are competing. according to state law, a second round of elections will be held. to win in the first round, a candidate must win more than 50% of the vote . this is one of the three states where it is currently difficult to predict the winners if neither party wins in march or nevada election in

the state of georgia, as it was before, they will decide who will get the majority in the future senate kateryna lisonova mike ofsullivan oleksiy aspen voice of america washington ambassador kasha von linda thomas greenfield this week met in kyiv with the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky. she said that she expressed to zelensky the steadfast support of ukraine on the part of the united states in its fight against russian aggression. greenfield spoke with myroslava gongadze in warsaw. they are invited. thank you for this opportunity. you have just arrived from ukraine. and you visited a country for the first time in which there is a war in this region. what are your impressions of the leadership of the people? i felt that it was very important for me to go to ukraine because that it is on our agenda in the case of security

almost every week i wanted to have the opportunity to speak from experience and i can only say that in a certain sense this experience opened my eyes, firstly i saw the strength and courage of ukrainians from the president to the small children whom i met but i also saw the destruction that this war brings to ukraine and the people of ukraine, and i left there with a greater commitment to do everything possible to put an end to the price met with president zelensky white house national security adviser sullivan met with by president zelenskyi, in just a few days, there are discussions about a possible peace plan , and president zelenskyi has laid out his conditions. how do you see the development of events regarding a possible peace plan ? a very strong platform for

any possible further discussions on the peace a a piece but to be honest, this could already end if russia withdraws its troops from ukraine and there is no need for talks, the children can go back to schools ukrainians can start rebuilding their lives they can start coming home it's in putin's hands and we have to keep up the pressure on president putin unfortunately the president doesn't look like he's going to stop what are the challenges and what 's the worst case scenario you see in this war the biggest crisis right now is winter i was there what to see about the program of preparation for winter

it is very, very difficult to survive what is predicted to be a very cold winter so i have offered to talk to humanitarian agencies about their winter contingency plans for the future and i have also had those discussions here the united states has shown leadership in coordinating and organizing the international community in support of ukraine however some countries do not support ukraine, what challenges do you see in this regard, in particular before the upcoming g20 summit? i believe that the biggest challenge is to really state that this is not a war between russia and the neighboring states. this is not between the west and the west. this is an attack on the un charter. this is an attack on the sovereignty of ukraine, an independent country, over the integrity of its borders . i

believe that we have achieved great success. i mean that 143 countries have condemned russia's attempt to annex ukrainian territory. i consider this a great achievement and we continue to work on creating a coalition of countries that are ready very publicly condemn the actions of russia and you know my next question will be about the actual challenges to the un charter and in particular to russia in the security council if they break the rules they broke international rules why are they still in the un security council john 's challenge they challenged the un charter they challenged all my what do we believe we do not believe that russia's actions in ukraine are worthy of a country that is a permanent member of the security council, nevertheless, they are a permanent member, so we are working to isolate them in the council and in the un, condemn them, isolate them, expel them from those structures

where can we expel them, we have worked to suspend them and expel them from other un bodies and we continue to condemn them in the security council. here you see the path of expelling them for treason. i do not see such a path, but i do not think that we should abandon such a step if there will be an opportunity, did you watch the interview with the us ambassador von linda thomas greenfield spoke with her myroslava gongadze 20-year-old intelligence officer marine roman gorodensky lost a leg and an arm during the defense of mariupol, a soldier was seriously wounded in russian captivity, where he barely survived after the amputation of his hand in captivity. he lost almost 50 kilograms. roman did not know until the last that he was being taken for exchange. now he is a marine in the usa, where one of the

organizations helps him get prosthetics. returning home and a normal life, the hero told in an interview with irina solomko romana i congratulate you, it so happened that at the beginning of the war, we were military servicemen, so that is why you ended up in a hot spot from the very beginning the beginning, what do you remember from those times, how fast it was at night, the first hail flew out, and we lasted until three o'clock. at 2:00, i will get a second concussion. the enemy was moving very quickly in our direction, so little by little they wanted to hold back until they gave the command to defend mariupol at any cost, and then later we already entered mariupol, we held mariupol itself,

every 10-15 minutes, there is a strike at the beginning until there was something to defend, mariupol was all very well, if we didn't talk about your injury and the capture of otaki, until this moment i don't know because i have a scarier day or not a scarier moment for you in mariupol, they started to defend, there were a lot of corpses lying around. i see that people the dead people are just being taken out of residential buildings, i'm just digging under the entrance, they are guarding , they put some small cross and that 's all. it's scarier. probably, how many of your comrades did you lose in the first month of this month? i just don't know the exact number. it's a lot of people. it's enough. when you were injured, how did it happen? what happened

at that moment, the position, and later on, we are the state, and somewhere around 12 o'clock, i felt, well. the whistling of an approaching mine. i hid behind a tree, completely closed the chest compartment and sat down, and it turned out that what was sticking out from the tree somehow immediately broke off with fragments, it fell somewhere 5 m away from me. thank you and i will always be grateful to my brothers who i gave the signal heavy 300 guys ran up and evacuated me, at first they hid me, they put tourniquets on me because there was nothing in the leg bones at all. she just held on to the side a little bit on a little bit of flesh and the arm there were many open

fractures many closed fractures a lot of fragments it was up to the place where a car could drive behind me, it was about a kilometer away, maybe a little more , but it was all under fire, so if i wasn’t small, the guys were getting a little tired, then we got up, i don’t know, around an hour and a half i watched the evacuations, that is, they took you, i will always be grateful to them, and it was five people, and they pulled me out of, and then just for, well, they already gave me to the medics, and you were captured in this condition. that's what you remember about it, there was clinging well , the security around the hospital well, it turned out that way, when we were captured on the 12th, the guys took medrots around, because everything was over, they ran out of

ammunition, there was simply nothing to fight back, then later, uh, when they entered the factory, later already we were taken prisoner the condition they are kept there, you actually saw all of this. tell me what the ukrainian captives are going through. there was an interrogation , they were asking us since the very evening. it was in novoazovsk because i started having sex, then it was very difficult for me to come out of anesthesia, so i could not come to myself, open my eyes and even breathe normally . day and everything and then me submitted for exchange well, i myself did not know that i was going for exchange,

this return, who was it for you, it was hard, hard because we took the two of us from the donetsk hospital, and from this hospital i did not know where we were going, what to me well, i do not know where we are going we were flying, it turned out later that it was the crimea, they loaded us in, we started driving, how hard the road was, what a feeling that he specially caught all the potholes, and i was put on a stretcher on the floor and i was tossed up all the time and hit myself with my hand and foot like that like open wounds when the boys were already sitting well, the girls were there too when they say kherson region i was already thinking let 's go davina tugashet fished with seeds let's carry them home we

were already brought to zaporizhzhia there to me well, if only i felt how normal people behave and eat there let's eat let's eat because i was 103 kg and after the captivity 60 with in pennies or like me, i don't remember if they operated then or not, in the morning they operated, they cleaned everything because everything was dripping with pus, everything was already losing an arm and a leg . was exactly it's difficult, how will my family accept me, how will my girlfriend accept me, say come on, you're young, come on, move there, she shut my mouth and said that it's not a bargain, and the first time she saw me, they bought a ring, they bought a lot of roses, and i'm lying

i have a ring on my chest and roses are now in the united states, er, i am helping you, i am trying to condemn an ​​organization that has helped many ukrainian boys, how did it turn out for them, and did they find you ? because you already have a leg, that is i have a rewai service staffed everywhere if they were big thank you and i went to them here it didn't work out for me there because of the ministry of defense there you have to wait a very long time for it shorter on the hand at all no one treated normally well here they said that it is a very high amputation and at most it is cosmetic process i had an acquaintance who said, come on, i will help you there through some acquaintances of mine, somehow like this. here we go, and then this acquaintance came out
