this country on the first line of fire, we will bring victory together glory to ukraine of the ukrainian voice of america time time i am its host ostap yarysh the united states congratulated ukraine on the day of freedom and dignity a parcel from the usa in kyiv bridget bring said in addition to celebrating the bravery of the ukrainian people who 9 years ago streets for the european future, americans admire the courage with which ukrainians defend their country today, the diplomat added, the united states will remain a partner of ukraine and will to support it in the fight against those who want to destroy the will of the ukrainian people. today

we remember the courage and vision of the future of the ukrainian people who took to the streets across the country with protests against attempts to divert the country's progress towards its european future, while russia is again trying to steal the future of ukraine i want you to know that the people of the united states, including me, appreciate your strength and dedication, the right to determine your own destiny, we know that ukraine will win, and the united states will be with you as long as it takes, russian leaders are acting like real terrorists, said the newly elected president of the nato parliamentary assembly, french senator juelle garrio maillan, she added that the leadership of russia should be condemned by international tribunals in turn, the representative of ukraine in

the nato parliamentary assembly, yehor chernya, said that the assembly, in its resolution, called for the creation of a special international tribunal regarding russia's aggression and recognized it as a terrorist state, such a tribunal will make it possible to condemn not only the direct perpetrators of war crimes, as well as the highest leadership of russia - said the ukrainian representative, and nato secretary general jan stolton said that the allies should be ready to support ukraine for a long time. and if nato allows putin to win, the price for everyone will be much higher, of course we all want this war to end, but we must remember what we we are dealing with a war of aggression, when one country, russia, invaded neighboring ukraine. therefore, the manner in which negotiations are conducted is important, and so

we must understand that this war will most likely end at some stage at the negotiating table, but we also know that the outcome of these negotiations will be we hope will depend on their success on the battlefield, so if we want a result that will be acceptable to ukraine, a result that will guarantee that ukraine will be able to succeed as a sovereign independent democratic nation in europe, the best way achieve this, provide military support to ukraine if we want an acceptable peaceful political solution, we need to provide military support to ukraine, and the pentagon believes that in the winter the armed forces will be in much better condition than the enemy, us defense minister lloyd austin said, according to his words, the us and partners have done a lot to prepare ukrainians for the winter struggle and help them continue to press the enemy, we focus on giving them full support, they focus on getting back every home of their sovereign territory -

said the secretary of defense of the united states the day before, while at the security forum in halifax, canada, small to here he emphasized that russia's invasion of ukraine affects the whole world, the leadership of the united states helped build an international order based on rules, and the leadership of the united states is vital to its maintenance, the people of the world do not want to go back that experience a grim new era of upheaval, chaos and war, the russian invasion opens a glimpse of a possible world of tyranny and chaos, a mess none of us want to live in. this invitation is all the more a dangerous world where the shadow of nuclear proliferation hangs over, because putin's associates, autocrats , are watching and they may well conclude that acquiring nuclear weapons will give them their own license to hunt. and this can lead to a dangerous spiral of nuclear proliferation.

meanwhile, in hungary, the government is doing what is happening in budapest called a national consultation on the eu sanctions imposed on russia due to the war against ukraine, such a survey was an initiative of the fidesz government party, its leader, prime minister viktor orban calls the sanctions unnecessary and harmful, why does the government of hungary have a favorable position towards russia towards the members of the eu, nato? why is the orbán government now conducting it so this consultation is that practically every household in hungary every family receives a written

set of questions concerning whether they support they are sanctions, there are specific separate issues, such as oil sanctions, gas sanctions, but in fact, in advance, we can already know approximately the results of this survey because the government itself, even organizing this survey, is already formulating such a question, in fact, what do you think about these failures? how the orbán government in hungary emphasizes eu sanctions against russia, so i think that the results can be predicted with certainty as the result of a very long propaganda by the government, which has actually been saying the same thing for years that the sanctions it is wrong that the sanctions are bad, the sanctions are not effective , they are harmful and that they should be canceled, as for other possible reasons besides confirming the position of the orbán government, it is obvious that this will be leverage for

hungary in disputes, in fact, in negotiations with brussels, because brussels has suspended the payment of multibillion-dollar subsidies to hungary, it is obvious that having such a poll as another argument in its discussions, the orbán government is probably not about me the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that it will be able to say that it is fulfilling the will of the people and therefore brussels should give way to budapest bohdan, what is the reason that viktor orban has developed such a favorable, let's say, relationship with vladimir putin? russian energy, energy carriers, oil and gas, russia is currently building a nuclear

reactor in hungary, that is, we are talking about huge multibillion-dollar projects and the fact that hungarian companies work on russian oil and asia hungarian homes are heated with russian gas, this is a very serious problem, because of which hungary even received exceptional conditions within the framework of the energy sanctions imposed on russia, for which budapest, by the way, voted earlier, but they also talk about something else, about the actual advancement of orbán during his years in power to the right, he constantly has recently emphasized that the biggest problem is immigrants, that his government protects traditions and values, that his government is christian, and so on, and so on. budapest is a hungarian journalist and an investigator in spain. this is how he told me about it. this is the

result of the last 11-12 years and the result of government propaganda that convinced people that vladimir putin is a good person because he is a friend of viktor orbán and cooperates with hungary. therefore, those who criticize putin are urban enemies. when, for example, the government of ukraine reprimanded the hungarian government for its position on russia, the hungarian propaganda began to criticize volodymyr zelenskyi and the government of ukraine. civilization and ukraine are covered negatively , claiming that zelensky and his government are just puppets of the usa, this is what urban and representatives of his government party say, namely that the war in ukraine is the result of provocation by the usa, that ukraine does not solve anything in the cold war between the usa and russia, interesting thoughts bohdane but nevertheless, it seems that orbán and his party are getting support

, enough support in the elections, why do hungarians vote for him, yes, hungarians vote for him for a long time, he has been in power since 2010 and won recently, a huge victory for his fidesz party in the elections this spring, that is, hungarians vote for orbán, in particular, because the period of his rule is now more than 10 years and coincided with a serious increase in the welfare of hungarians. brussels and orbán's government and orbán himself takes credit for this, but there are also other circumstances, the circumstances are that there is almost no dissent in hungary. what would have a serious impact, that is, the opposition is very fragmented, in fact

not heard in particular because, as many observers say, in hungary, the orbán government’s almost total control over the mass media, and another hungarian interlocutor told me about this recently influence on public opinion, i would point to the propaganda machine he created, which was unprecedented in the eu under conditions of democracy. it is more similar to what happens in totalitarian societies, although even in communist times there was co-domism and now the opposition exists, but orbán very skillfully calculates that he is rallying more than two and a half million of his most active supporters and can win the elections, in particular because he changed bohdan's election laws in a certain way, considering this rhetoric of

orbán and his party, can hungary in principle come out and eat nato i also asked my interlocutors about this and looked at hungarian sources. currently, it seems that, despite such serious differences, it is not profitable for the hungary of the orban government to leave the european union, in particular, due to the huge subsidies from brussels, what will happen next? when it is possible that hungary becomes a donor in the eu, we will see that there is no such prospect of a break with nato either, in particular because mr. orban, his government has much greater influence and much greater opportunities to increase the value of being inside these organizations within the eu and nato, in particular, the value for the government of vladimir putin in moscow bohdan thank you for the final for your

information, we will monitor how events will develop, i will remind you that bohdan was in touch with us tsyupin and from london last week in washington , the so-called ukrainian days in the congress ended, representatives of the ukrainian community met with congressmen and senators representing their states, the main purpose of such meetings is to strengthen support for ukraine, the organizers explain, especially after the midterm elections, this time ukrainian days in the congress also joined wounded ukrainian soldiers who are currently being rehabilitated in the usa got to know kateryna lisova more by planes , trains and buses, members of the public arrived to the capital to participate in the ukrainian days in the united states congress, share your experience in your constituencies, tell about your meetings in local newspapers, try

to talk to your local media as much as possible, tell them about your visit to washington and explain why it is important, the community is so ukrainians for origin , for several days, met with legislators and their representatives in the congress, the main purpose of such meetings was to emphasize to congressmen and senators that the support of ukraine is important for their voters. i am a leader today delegations from the state of florida, where i am registered to vote in us, there are about seven of them, all ukrainians , ukrainian-americans, us citizens who have the right to vote in the country and they do not care about ukraine, that is why they flew all the way to the us capital to represent their communities in the state florida is to represent the entire state and talk with its representatives about ukraine

, what ukraine means to them and the fact that they support ukraine, and i want their representatives to support ukraine as a top priority the organizers of the ukrainian days have determined the defense , assistance in the investigation of war crimes in russia, the recognition of russia as a state sponsor of terrorism , the strengthening of sanctions and the recognition of the holodomor as a genocide of the ukrainian people at the state level in order for ukraine to receive as much of this support as possible, but we are also looking at the fact that the boring states of america was also recognized by russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, and thus this is not yet his political signal regarding russia regarding moscow, but it also has an economic impact, he also looks at our i have a very large ukrainian community in the united states, there are 330 million citizens of the united states, but there are only up to 2 million ukrainians because

of ukrainian origin, but still, we have this feeling. as a ukrainian community, we have those ties with ukraine and want this to be our the country from the united states helped ukraine as much as possible servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine anton domaratskyi and viktor nesterenko arrived in the united states for prosthetics and rehabilitation under the program of the km bits foundation, both were blown up on mine at the front, the beginning of the city of lysychansk was blown up as a result of the anti

- aircraft fire of the russian federation. to thank the american legislators for their help and support, we must thank those who help, they try to help. i am a great help for us, because you know what the event is, but i personally wanted to thank you for that that the usa has already done this for military aid, systems with which i worked, for example, and before that, ukrainian days in the congress have been held for more than 20 years, but three days in washington in wartime are not enough, delegates say, so after the meetings, the activists immediately plan the next visit to the capital kateryna lisonova oleksiy osika voice of america washington and our next story is about the ukrainian photographer yevhen maloletkom, who at the beginning of the full-scale invasion documented the russian crimes in mariupol together with

by videographer mstislav chernov, they spent almost 3 weeks in the city when mariupol was under blockade and almost no one could get there. on march 9, yevgen filmed the consequences of the shelling of the maternity ward of one of the city hospitals in mariupol , then this photo shocked the whole world. now yevgen continues to tell the truth about the war the other day , his exhibition with photos from mariupol opened in new york, iryna solomenko yevhen spoke with the photographer, i congratulate you, your photos from mariupol were essentially the last that the world saw mariupol, yes , russia's tactics were already clear then, but less so what happened to mariupol for you personally and the visit there i hope that this is not the last photos that we will see from mariupol mariupol this is really a big tragedy yes it is a big tragedy for ukraine there is a big one a tragedy for the world and what happened there, i think it did not leave terrible memories there, not only for me, it is a

big wound, but it is on the body of every person, and therefore it will not be possible to forget it at all, because 20,000 civilians died and many soldiers died many soldiers were captured and a lot of people died just walking down the street looking for water and bread. it was very scary. yes, it was scary to look at the price when you received this task, and you understood that you were going to go. during the war, a journalist should do his job, and people should have seen it. they should have seen this horror. they should have seen what russia did to the maternity hospital, what russia

did to the fire station, and how it shelled civilian houses with tanks, but you understood. what you those who go to war could not return from these business trips. everyone understands that, in principle, there is a chance that many hospitals will not return from there, and if you worked there, you did it deliberately because you understood that the russians were targeting these objects, and the hospital is this is the place where the wounded are taken. this is the place where you can show the work of the doctors. hmm, this is the place where everyone comes. and we spent a week in the hospital together with the patients, sleeping in sleeping bags on the floor, just like the doctors, and therefore it is impossible not to show the work. doctors as it is it must be because the doctors really saved the lives of

children and this is a very difficult job, they worked 24/7, but the hospitals where they developed the maternity ward and the photos of these two women, one of whom died . unfortunately, the other gave birth the next day, they really went around the world you ended up there by chance to go to the hospital, but there was a very powerful shelling, we returned to the center and heard the roar of the plane and a series of powerful explosions. and it’s impossible to guess where exactly the plane will hit, well, it’s unreal, but it so happened that we were not far away and we reacted, looked at where exactly a-a flew in, and we drove to the place and saw that it was the maternity ward,

women and children were being evacuated from there, people were entering from the basement, then the plane again and everyone ran into the basement again, then the evacuation of the wounded and so on and so on . unfortunately, unfortunately, not all the people we film survived. unfortunately, i am very sorry. yes, but this is history. it must be documented. and wherever there is a war, there must be journalists present, because, for example, we and it happened on march 16 in mariupol, there was an attack on the drama theater, and there were no journalists there, and there were no witnesses there, and it was very difficult to establish how many people died there,

how many really flew to where, and how difficult it was there, and here is a proof of how important the work of journalists was during the hostilities there actions there, show evidence of what is happening, was it the most difficult for you in mariupol, was there anything else that was scary , what you saw there, you know, well, we are the ones like the doctors who hold a child for 18 months and half an hour and pump and inject adrenaline and another and another drugs so that you see ah-ah-ah how doctors start to cry already begins ah-ah you go crying and immediately with them and then you ask yourself why why is this happening why is this ah-ah people do it at all yes

there they shoot all over this if there is already no no humanity, and in this, it was very scary to see. it is very scary in your photo, at the same time from foreign journalists that ukrainian journalists are involved because there is a war on their land, and therefore they cannot be objective. i would relate to these applications to us it's really difficult for ukrainians to be, you know, not to show our emotions, but we have to do it and regardless of what, yes, or the importance of information, the importance of conveying correctly balanced information to them. mind and they brought their exhibition, what exactly are you

showing the american audience because they brought all the photos, you chose them for this exhibition, it was in irpignan in france, and at this festival, and visapuri-mash, and they already gave me prints and we brought them here and there we did yary disgroup there, they managed to find a place and not a big short time for the show well, because all the galleries are booked for a year or years in advance and it is already very difficult to fit into this schedule, people have to see it even in new york, and ours the mission is not to let people forget that there is still a war going on in our country. what do you think for your professional community? what is it about career? everything about this material is about people, and

this material is not about us, but about people and these people we filmed . they are not just people, but they have it name, they really tried to survive, just like us, our task was that we have to show it, but i don't think that it is and there is myself there, this is the main project of my life, all the photos became famous because they were unique, there was no one there if there were others, yes, yes, other photographers also risked their lives in kharkiv, kyiv, and so on. therefore, this is just one small puzzle, and from the whole picture that was composed in ukraine at the beginning of the war, this was also bucha was irpin, and there were other cities of chernihiv sumy a lot of things happened there too, but there was not much there, for example, in chernihiv in sumy, few people

filmed there, yes, and that’s why we don’t have it from here, and the same thing happened there. people said that it was real, but they must have read the comments of the russians, who were very angry. so when here is the photo, here is the woman who was pregnant, what is it all about, what are these unreal photos, when you read this, well, you must have read it, what did you feel at that moment, because you know that this is a real person who was injured, a member of a disinformation company that took place at that time, including attacks on our testimony, our materials from mariupol , the russian embassy in london, the russian embassy in canada, the ministry of foreign affairs also said that we were informational terrorists, they really didn't like what we were showing, and we were showing what we were seeing. well because we were there and we really wanted to follow the example of the vietnam war there, when photography

there could change the world, but unfortunately, unfortunately, this does not happen and the materials from the war are interpreted and used, on the contrary, yes on 180 well, thank you very much for the conversation, download the voice of america mobile application, the application allows you to automatically bypass blocking thanks to the built-in vpn service, read the 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 daily briefings at 18 o'clock in kyiv on youtube and facebook where you can ask us your questions live, also read our
