there every day you got rid of hmm you could just die and every day a lot of my brothers died around and there was also unknown unknown what by the way well it is a difficult thing so that you could advise people how to survive moral and physical captivity well first of all believe to our victory and to believe that no one forgets about the prisoners because sometimes there were such moments of disbelief that you think that i must have already forgotten everything and there is constantly telling you all about it, but uh, i went out and saw a radically different situation that about no one forgets us at all, not only that, the whole world is talking about us, and when we were fired, all probably the biggest mass media in the

world wrote about it, and the most important thing is not to forget that you are remembered , i think so, but these are difficult times that need just to survive, but regardless of whether you are a boy or a girl or what kind of military position you have, no one forgets about you and you are always waiting for that. tell me about your impressions when i found out that your photos became world famous. i used to see through the prism of myself what is happening in ukraine now. the heroes are changing, now they talk more about the military, and now they run up there to take pictures of some pop stars, performers, namely, everyone knows about the military, they talk about the military, and nowadays it is very important, uh, i am very happy about this

. the main thing is what i said before and now i am asking everyone to pay attention not only to some media servicemen there, they know me a lot, but for example there was a situation when they came up to me and tried to take pictures and they were two brothers who did simply incredible things in the rest and nobody pays attention to them, and i would like to pay attention to all military personnel. the spirit of other people, she is like that here was symbolic for me on the day when i found out that we are suffering from evacuation and the type of surrender . and i had a reliable fact that all the higher ones live and this ray of hope is some kind of saint for me. i myself published it in the day when nadia is me

appeared, it was an interview of kateryna lisonova with the press officer of the azov regiment and dmytro kozatskyi. see the full version of this conversation on our website and on the pages of voice of america ukrainian in social networks. and while russia is intensifying its attacks on ukraine, estonians and with concern they look in the direction of their russian neighbor in the country to this day a significant part of the population is russian-speaking and the influence of russian propaganda through mass media is a cause for concern for many see more in the report voice of america journalists from estonia will be told by yurii mamon estonia and russia are separated by the narva river, and this is not only the border between the two countries, but also a point of contact between the forces of nato and russia. the population of the city of narva, which is in the eastern part of estonia,

is mainly russian-speaking and maintains close cultural and economic ties. ties with russia, residents of narva strive to preserve russian traditions and culture, estonian right-wing radicals call them agents of the kremlin inside the country, which is very annoying to the local russian-speaking population, we are now everything we became the fifth column, we are the truth, in my opinion, estonian people are mostly friendly. for many years, the estonian authorities considered the kremlin to be the biggest threat to the sovereignty of ukraine. there is only russia, there is no military threat from finland, sweden or latvia, this is very clearly understood 6 times of gaining independence in 1991, estonians do not recognize

the existence of the estonian soviet republic and those the times are called nothing but the years of occupation, and today, when russia invaded ukraine, the tension in estonian society also increased. you gave everything to mansa during the last month and the jumping war in ukraine made us think about starting to value independence and freedom with a new look at it or the truth after the breakup of the soviet union and the return of independent estonia, the process of integration of the country's russian-speaking minority did not take place without estonia's conditional integration with the level of integration of the russian-speaking community into the estonian society during the last ten years we have very big problems as in other countries that were once under the rule of soviet communists language plays an important role in the formation of identity and sovereignty and although russian is spoken by most of estonia its

use is decreasing as more and more people switch to estonian. i think that if you look back 30 years, go back in time and compare the times when russification was in full swing in schools with the present times, then in comparison with this, today the estonian language is really protected and loved by this group of russian-speaking ukrainian refugee children from donetsk, odesa and mykolaiv, they are integrated into estonian culture, although estonian folk dances are taught to them in russian yurii mamon voice of america download the voice of america mobile application, the application allows you to automatically bypass blocking thanks to the built-in vpn service read news, watch informative programs and videos, as well as listen to podcasts of the voice of america service in ukrainian, and on

this we will say goodbye, also join our i have daily briefings at 6 p.m. kyiv time for you and on facebook, where you can ask us your questions live. thank you for being with us . have a good night and a good morning. see you for one and all for one. that is, this is a very dangerous situation, i think that the beginning can be the actualization of the activation of the fourth article , relevant negotiations will be held, relevant consultations will be held, and the question of how to react, what to do in that situation when one of the nato member states found itself under uh-uh not only a threat, but a missile strike was struck at it, will be considered

territory is a very dangerous situation and this shows that russia has deliberately escalated. i want to emphasize that this is not an accident. we see the reaction of russian propaganda. first of all, they and russian officials have long said that they are waging war not only against ukraine but against nato, and russian propaganda called for an attack on the territory of poland. and this happened, that is, the situation is very dangerous, mr. merezhka, in addition to, again, the reaction of the alliance to what potential reactions separately, for example , in other directions, in the direction of the sanctions regarding we can talk about the russian federation now, because the statement of the head of european diplomacy the day before was quite comprehensive. they are considering a new package of sanctions there, but they are not going to implement it yet. how likely is it that after these events the situation will change in the direction of sanctions? i am sure that the situation will change. -e

will change, and very significantly. i think that most likely, we should demand and i think they will provide us with everything necessary to protect our sky, that is, a system against air defense anti-missile systems e-e fighters i also hope that some restrictions that existed before will be removed regarding the provision of the necessary military-technical assistance to ukraine, that is, these changes will take place and i, too, hope for a significant strengthening of sanctions against russia, oleksandr, but let's actually take a closer look at this situation where there are two dead where the poles are increasing security measures throughout the territory of ukraine throughout the territory of poland excuse me and the trick is according to freud they are also involving their aviation forces and they are

sending a convoy of armored vehicles to the exact place tragedies say that they already have a clear understanding that there are wreckage of the cancer and in the near future experts will be able to say what kind of missiles they were and how they got there. but russia will never admit this. we see the reaction of the western world. we see lithuania, latvia, estonia. we hear the czech republic, who will still join in and clearly articulate what we want to hear, that nato will protect its countries? well, according to the logic of nato, and i really hope for this, all nato member countries must take a clear position, they must fight and defend. well, as they say, i quote here, president biden has every inch, every centimeter of nato territory. that is, all nato countries must take a

clear position and provide the necessary assistance to strengthen the eastern flank of nato, not only poland, but other countries that are part of nato, the baltic countries, first of all, which border the terrorist state, oleksandr, one second please to draw the attention of our viewers to our map , we prepared it specifically to make it clear what we are talking about. that's right, and we are primarily talking about what and where are the rocket fragments hit 65 km from the polish-ukrainian border, the topic of closing the sky on the territory of ukraine was relevant for us constantly for our partners a few months ago, it was relevant, but then they stopped talking about it, in your opinion, these events that do not happen every two or three

on the border, yes, not on, let's say, the zone between the countries , but quite far from the border, to what extent are they able to actualize the topic of closing the sky or over the entire territory of ukraine, closing non-services of nato countries or in a separate part of ukraine ? well, again, it borders with the countries of the alliance in your opinion, and i completely agree with you that this issue is becoming very relevant again. that is, we are ukraine, we, er, i think we should even ask the question of closing the sky, because russia has once again shown its, well, criminal nature and the fact that this is really a terrorist state and everything necessary must be done, we see that the genocide of the ukrainian people is taking place when russia deliberately destroys critical civil infrastructure and all this is done deliberately, no one

, no state can, cannot stand aside when such a crime as genocide is committed, and taking into account what happened today, this issue is again relevant, and all states, civilized democratic states, should stand up for closing the sky over ukraine and protecting the peaceful civilian population from genocide. so, we have volodymyr zelenskyi 's tweet spoke with the president of poland, because they expressed their condolences in connection with the death of polish citizens, zelensky adds, and on the russian missile terror, we exchanged available information, we are finding out all the facts ukraine poland the whole of europe and the world must be fully protected from terrorist russia by oleksandr and it coincided with what

zelensky said. be a joint state decision, especially for those countries that, well, recently we voted or voted openly against russia paying everything it owed to ukraine, so it really isn’t it is a coincidence that lavrov left it so in advance , namely, the big 19 well, you are absolutely right, it is necessary to say that a large group of 19 countries, because a terrorist state simply cannot be here, you know here is a violation of the morality of international law , anything and it is not a coincidence. that is, it shows that everything was planned, that here russian diplomacy is, er, also involved in the criminal activities of the government, it is part of this war

machine, and er, what is happening is clear, it is terrible, it must affect the chimneys that are being prepared uh, a group of 19 countries, but unfortunately, dominic's text is accepted by consensus. the question is, can you hear me, god, so we remember that we are in ukraine, so we have to take care of interruptions in communication. and for that, to be honest , there is no light that is, like because of this, we already live in the same conditions as other millions of citizens throughout ukraine, we know that after the missile attack in many regions, the light disappeared in some places , but it does not return everywhere . you know about his text, indonesia insists that the

text of this comedian be accepted, but we understand that there has been no precedent for the same uh, before the big twenty, now the group of 19 ended without accepting the pebble, that in itself would be a scandal and indonesia how the owner is doing everything he can, regrettably making concessions regarding the text in order to satisfy let's say so, i'll disperse. this is very wrong. i think that's why russia has no right to participate in the development and approval of the text of this comic on it is a great pity that today this text has already been rejected because, for example, china insists that even the word war should not be used in order to please russia in this way, this is very wrong, although there are positive points in this text, for example, the condemnation of the use of nuclear weapons is an important point but the question

is how will this storekeeper look like, will they take into account the latest events of the countries that are part of the large group of 19 countries or not because the text must be strict, otherwise there is simply no sense in my opinion, it is better not to accept it than to ignore what happened today. in principle, my question has already been answered. i wanted to ask what would be better if the communique was not mentioned yet, since there is no mention of war and, in a general sense, the threat of using nuclear weapons. it will be written or its absence, but you have already answered. it would be better if there were no stones in such a case. tell me, please, and hmm, before that, you said that it would be a scandal if there was no communication. and why is there such an urgent need to have it? common stones that after such meetings and whether

individual statements of the countries of the group of 19 or of the key players of the group of 19 will not be able to block them are not in the communique , but simply separate positions. situation because there are countries that are our allies, friends, and simply countries that understand what is happening, it would be fair and just if they adopted a separate statement in which the essence of what is happening would be reflected and a fair assessment was given, including the legal assessment of the crime of russia a crime an aggressor state, a terrorist state, it would be better, but the fact is that the lack of a communique is evidence of polarization within the group of 20 or now the group of 19, and this is evidence of a certain failure if there is no comedian. it simply means that

the representatives of the countries on at the highest level, they gathered at the summit. and there are no results. there are no results . that is, this is evidence of a certain crisis, and that is why some countries are trying to accept the kominyaks at any price, making absolutely unfair and wrong concessions to the terrorist state. oleksandr, we have information, actually, and the example of hungary. orban is convening the country's defense council for tomorrow, but the reason is not missile terrorism, but the cessation of oil transportation on the pro- oil pipeline, friendship and a missile attack on the territory of poland, but the first part is about the oil pipeline. and you know what to expect from hungary. well it is necessary to give due credit to hungary if we take the last resolution regarding reparations to the general assembly hungary supported it and this is a positive signal but unfortunately it is rather

hungary is an exception to the policy that hungary is currently pursuing. unfortunately, it is very dependent on russian energy sources. for some reason, it does not really want to follow the path of, for example, germany and get rid of this unhealthy dependence on domestic energy sources. why is it dangerous? it eventually becomes politically dependent on russian energy sources, and hungary, unfortunately, does not do anything concrete to get rid of this dependence and its politics. requires significant corrections so that it is synchronized or goes in unison with the policy of the european union and the policy of nato countries. by the way, mr. oleksandr, you mentioned again the

un resolution regarding compensation for losses from the russian federation, the deputy head of the security council has already responded to this medvedev says that in this case, they mean russia, they will nationalize foreign enterprises, and they say just these enterprises for 300 billion dollars, and in your opinion in the event of the implementation of this plan, which medvedev is talking about, how will our international partners act, well, there will definitely be appropriate sanctions, and because these are challenges, this is absolutely not justified as a reason for freezing russian funds owned by russia, what russia has done international crimes he continues to commit. that is , this is a legal basis for such sanctions and for

freezing, maybe even confiscation of russian property, and if russia will er-er confiscate foreign property, then it will be absolutely groundless, because it will be a real crime, but i want to remind you that a truly civilized business has gone, it has left a mess, and the business that remains is just beginning to suffer from the unpredictability and criminal actions of the russian authorities. we have several statements. let's try to simulate the situation, because tomorrow is the nato meeting our kuleb is being assembled, he says that we need planes in the 15-16th air defense systems. well, the defense of the sky is the defense of nato, and similar, well, partially similar. history is a statement from the minister of defense he says to latvia that his first reaction after the russians struck the territory of poland was the fourth article of the closure and defense of the

airspace over ukraine. tomorrow we will wait because nato is meeting tomorrow. i hope that these issues will not only be considered, but that nato will nato will take a principled position and provide all the necessary e-weapons in ukraine because there are no weapons here, all the weapons you know go to ukraine, they are used for defense to protect e-e our statehood to protect our population from e-e crimes of genocide, therefore, it is necessary to strengthen this and eventually provide all the necessary weapons, all the necessary weapons that we need, mr. oleksandr, regarding the weapons that we need here, the administration of the american president . aid to our country, of

which there is almost 22 billion e-e, this is exactly defense aid a-a hm, can you please explain how likely it is that this package will be quickly, well, the money for this package will be allocated quickly, the package is provided quickly and e-e how quickly will america react here, well , the united states is planning to finally launch land forest well, because it has not yet been launched, as announced by law, but not launched , eh, increase the amount of what is already provided by the minister of defense of our country reznikov pointed out that we need more air defense systems, so no more artillery, rocket systems, salvo fire and projectiles, and the supply of what is not yet supplied, in particular, the same planes that elena said about, as well as the events that took place on the eve of and this will happen already today, i am in the context of nato, which will meet to the extent that they will

stimulate america, in particular, in speeding up that aid and increasing it . help united states mr. oleksandr helps but now how uh it seems to me that the connection responds to the word mr. oleksandr actually yes it is possible it is possible i am sure that this will speed up the speeding up of aid and ah well, it must be said right away that the united states is really providing enormous assistance. we are very grateful for this, but we need more military and technical assistance. the united states very quickly provides the necessary weapons, sometimes even within a day

, it goes to ukraine they understand how important it is for ukraine and support russia. they expect significant consequences if it is proven that the missile that killed two people was russian. it was a quote from a us senator, it was mendes, this is a message from a politician and it is actually e p oleksandr wanted to update about the bipartisan support in the united states and the strengthening of this support. do you expect this strengthening or not? i also have republicans. well, not only democrats, so that the support from the republican party has increased , such and such support is bipartisan, it existed and exists. will intensify i am sure that no political internal processes in the united states elections this it does not matter this support is very powerful and by the way mr. bob himself is

an example of me somewhere he is a democrat his colleague marco rubio is a republican, but despite uh political uh, let's say he belongs to different political parties, they speak in unison, they fully support ukraine, i.e. they understand how important it is, i.e. i have no doubt that this bipartisan support can only grow. chairman of the european council, charles michel also already stated that he is calling a meeting of the leaders of the european union at the j-20 summit in connection with what happened in poland, he says that it is necessary to use it in order to put pressure on russia the day before, the statement of the head of argentina, if you remember that the decisions regarding the war in ukraine must be global, mmm, it looks like this is an ideal chance to show this or globalization or localization in general, that is, the system of collective security the

day after tomorrow either does not exist at all and needs to be removed or there is one a rod on which the necessary blocks can still be planted. how do you see russia with its crimes destroyed collective security, the world system of collective security, we see the helplessness of the united nations, which simply did not cope with its main task of maintaining international peace and security and the fight against aggression. this did not happen in the case of ukraine. the united nations simply failed to protect ukraine. and this raises the urgent question of the need to create a new one . system of collective security, and ukraine must play a key role in this process. today, ukraine is the guarantor of this world security because it is the only country in the world that strikes very effectively.

the aggressor state and defends not only itself but also the whole world and the entire global security system, oleksandr thank you for joining the single news marathon this was oleksandr merezhko, people's deputy and chairman of the parliamentary committee on foreign policy and inter-parliamentary cooperation of america are taking time to deal with the situation in poland, the representative of the state department , vedan patel, stated this at his briefing. the united states is ready to stand by its nato allies, but does not yet want to discuss hypothetical scenarios are striving to escalate the situation, washington is currently in close contact with the polish authorities to establish all the details of the incident, let us remind you that in poland they are now awaiting an appeal from the moravian well, they temporarily stopped traffic at all border crossings with ukraine in the subcarpathian voivodeship of poland, but this is a temporary pause, you understand very well as

well as a temporary pause, now there will be a short portion of important information, we will return to the difference, this is the language of our ancestors, the language of shevchenko, the language of khvylovy , this is the language of the designer, korolyov, the language of the artist malevich is the language of thousands of novels and scientific works, the language of the theater, the language of sports, it is the strongest language in the world, it was banned dozens of times, but it survived, it survived in poems, it survived in folk songs, it survived in the words of parents and words of love, this language sounded on three squares, this language sounds in the trenches so that this language can be heard in coffee shops under this condition, the heroes speak this language to the heroes glory is a language
