how many other collaborators are still being tried by name in ukraine. watch on wednesday, november 30, the program of collaborators, the list of miklushkas at 16:45 on the espresso tv channel i will watch the ukrainian voice of america program on time. i am nataliya leonova. congratulations, nato will strengthen its support for ukraine and help protect it from russian missile attacks and restore it. infrastructure, this is stated in the statement of the ministers of foreign affairs of the nato member countries, who completed the first day of the two-day meetings in bucharest, the united states will allocate 53 million dollars to support the electricity system of ukraine against the background of russian attacks, us secretary of state anthony blinken said in bucharest, the meetings in

bucharest are being monitored by our european correspondent bohdan tsyupin he is joining the studio right now. congratulations bohdan. so, today the ministers of the nato member countries announced that they will increase defense assistance to ukraine. do you know the details of that ? concretely will be given to ukraine based on the results of these meetings natalya from what we heard today from bucharest a-a we chose a short quote from general secretary jens stoltonberg with which i propose to start. this is how he said today in the capital of romania what is the most important thing being discussed and what are promised to ukraine by the country's allies nato today, as well as at the meeting also tomorrow, which will continue , please natanova ice, the provider of nato allies, are providing unprecedented assistance, and today the countries added

new promises of a comprehensive set of support for ukraine this will immediately finance armed aid , including fuel generators, to help ukraine overcome the consequences of russian attacks on its electricity grid . with the approach of winter, make them suffer and thus try to subjugate the ukrainians, but also in buchrest. we heard today that they understand this in the west and the allies promise exactly to direct our efforts to make ukraine more resilient, and this is how the participant of the meeting, the minister of foreign affairs of great

britain, said about it, we all saw that vladimir putin from the very beginning of the conflict is trying to use energy supply as a weapon and his targeting of civil infrastructure, energy infrastructure, obviously has aims to try to freeze the ukrainians and force them to submit. i know that in reality this will not bring him success because they show great endurance and we will and continue to support them during these difficult months because this minister of foreign affairs of lithuania on brielleus lanzberge called to send tanks and ammunition to ukraine for them, should we expect a positive decision from the allies on this issue of buchrest, i would first draw attention to the fact that these statements of the lithuanian minister of law were such attention because western countries have so far avoided actually providing ukraine with western heavy armored

combat tanks, and here the lithuanian minister reminds that ukraine actually needs not only to defend itself ukraine needs not only an anti-missile defense system, not only installations to protect against missiles , bombs and drones in ukraine, it is also necessary to continue to push out the russian troops with their territory , to liberate their territory in order to win, and for this, heavy armored vehicles are still needed, which he drew attention to lithuanian minister nato does not run out of tanks and cartridges for tanks, therefore if we expand the set of what we provide to ukraine, then nato has the opportunity to continue to supply, there may be difficulties with certain ammunition that is already provided. i may not be able to give you specific figures, but when it comes to tanks, nato countries actually have an unlimited amount of ammunition for

nato main battle tanks . decided to postpone this issue , 14 years of accession have passed and it did not happen, instead, russia attacked georgia and unleashed a large-scale war in ukraine, was the issue of membership and actually security issues discussed today guarantees for ukraine. yes, this is a heavy historical irony, isn’t it? a promise that was never fulfilled for a decade and a half almost became a false excuse, one of the excuses that putin announced when he started this invasion of ukraine. now, in fact, the secretary general of nato has repeated what he always says that nato's doors are open to new members, that other

countries have the right to join this alliance. they have the right to implement their will and the wishes of their citizens. therefore, the rhetoric of words remains the same as before, but now in fact, they make it clear that the issue of ukraine's membership in nato is not on time, again, it is not on time, bohdan, 53 million dollars of aid from the united states announced in bucharest, and today the secretary of state blinken, what exactly will this money be used for? well, for this i will have to refer to the list because it is about e-e technical e-e technical data technical terms so these are distribution transformers, automatic switches, surge arresters, disconnectors, as well as transport and other

equipment for ukrainian energy networks, that is , money is allocated for which this is all a-a and everything that it is necessary for ukraine to restore, in particular, the electricity supply will be purchased, please , seconds in another european capital, an important meeting for ukraine is taking place with the ministers of justice of the group of seven, which discussed the issue of russia's responsibility for war crimes. what was agreed upon by the delegates? to the responsibility of russia, and in particular here in london, today the president's wife olena zelenska said that she stressed that ukrainians need not only victory but also achieving justice for those who started this terrible and unjust war of aggression against ukraine, bohdan tsyupan was in direct contact with us,

more about the prospect of providing ukraine with air defense systems, we will talk with yulia yarmolenko, who followed today's messages from the pentagon and is currently joining our broadcast. greetings yulia. so, what details did you manage to find out about the new deliveries to ukraine of air defense systems natalya, today there were several important statements from the pentagon, first of all, air defense the provision of military assistance from washington to kyiv remains a priority at a closed briefing for journalists, a high-ranking pentagon official today stated that the united states and its allies are currently considering all available air defense capabilities that could potentially be handed over to ukraine, in particular, they do not exclude those patriot systems, they also said at this briefing said that the united states and allies conduct training for the ukrainian military to use various

types and systems of air defense and also that it is important to talk about the fact that in the near future they can provide certain air defense systems very soon, others will have to wait a little longer because of theirs because they are more advanced and more difficult to use later at the pentagon briefing, the spokesman for pat ryder clarified he said that in fact the united states specifically the united states the states are currently not considering providing patriot systems directly to ukraine, what about other countries of other allies? he said that it should remain a sovereign decision of these states. let's hear how he specifically said about the prospects of providing patriot systems for ukraine a-a for air defense remains the main priority for the defense of the united states and the international community when it comes to supporting ukraine, what about patriot batteries

from the united states, at the moment we do not plan to supply patriot batteries to ukraine until the end if the ally decides send your system patriots will they still play any part in this decision or will it be solely the decision of this ally country i don't want to speak for other countries but this the sovereign decision of the state, since it also concerns nato countries, i omit that this will also be part of the alliance's discussion, again, we will continue to work closely with the international community to determine what the defense needs of ukraine are and to satisfy them when it comes to certain capacities such as the patriot system or m1 tanks or advanced fighters are about capabilities that require quite significant maintenance support and training, none of these systems operate on the principle of plug and work, you cannot appear on the battlefield and start using them, we take into account such details when it comes to more

advanced systems but again, i want to emphasize that we consider the priora air defense there and we will continue to work as allies and partners in terms of what we can transfer to ukraine as soon as possible so that they can start using these opportunities without delay, and today president biden met with the leaders of the contras, was the topic of aid to ukraine definitely discussed during these meetings were discussed to natalya, i will tell you a little bit about the essence of this meeting today in the white house , us president joe biden hosted the leaders of the republicans and democrats in the congress in order to discuss legislative initiatives or unfinished legislative business before the congress well, all of america will go on christmas holidays, let me remind you that now the current composition of the congress or the previous composition of the congress is still working, the new composition of the congress, which was re-elected in november, we know, will come to power a little later in january, and therefore now

there is a little less than a month left in order to to complete the legislative business that now remains. on the agenda and i outlined it myself, president biden himself, his priority remains the internal affairs of the united states, but also assistance to ukraine in countering russian aggression, and it is very important in this context. the united states president biden requested additional funding from the congress to support ukraine in the amount of almost 38 billion dollars, and now the main question is whether the legislators will have time to pass this aid package and whether there is enough political will not only in democracies, but also from republicans, because we have repeatedly heard certain calls or certain statements from republicans that they have certain reservations about this assistance, but today the republican leaders in the house of representatives, kevin mccarthy, again emphasized that he wants to help ukraine, but he also wants know where

the money goes let's listen to what he said i remember being here in 2015 right after a trip to ukraine i remember sitting in the situation room at a meeting with vice president joe biden at the time and called for the sale to ukraine of javelins, defensive weapons that would stop russian tanks, unfortunately, i did not succeed that day, although i brought a bipartisan group of legislators with me. i believe that what putin's russia did is wrong, this is an atrocity. i believe that if we went to certain steps in advance would probably prevent the invasion but i'm not in favor of unlimited checks for anything it's hard earned tax payers money and i want to make sure that any funding we allocate goes to the right place and anatoly here it is worth emphasizing that in fact the democrats are not against a strengthened audit of strengthened checks and are not against making sure exactly where the money goes,

and this was stated to us repeatedly by democratic lawmakers in interviews, but it is also worth emphasizing that there is already a fairly thorough system of checks from the state department both from the pentagon and directly from the biden administration officials held a briefing for lawmakers from both parties to clarify what and exactly what chain of checks exists for this assistance which the united states is sending ukraine, so we'll see. in fact, now we hear messages, in particular, in an interview with us in the legislator's video blog of the party, they actually express confidence that this funding package will be approved for ukraine, and it looks like bipartisan support for ukraine in the congress is maintained. thanks to yuli, we are in direct contact yulia yarmolenko was connected to the white house, meanwhile , in china, the largest protests in recent times are ongoing, people are taking to the streets in cities across the country, the reason for the dissatisfaction of the so-called

the zero-covid policy of the chinese government, which provides for strict quarantine restrictions in the white house, has so far reacted cautiously to the demonstrations, they say they support the cause of people all over the world to come out for a peaceful protest, more about what caused the discontent of the chinese and whether the demonstrations can develop into something more , ostap yarysh will tell about mass protests in china, the last weekend of november began after a fire broke out in one of the high-rise buildings in the city of urumqi in the west of the country, as a result of which one person died at least ten people were injured for another 9 years, the protesters blame the tragedy on the harsh anti-covid measures of the government, which, according to them, made it impossible to save people, the chinese authorities reject all accusations and this only increases the tension, the convinced correspondent of the mandarin service of voice of america leah anilly, the local authorities deny saying that it has nothing to do with covid measures

they actually blame the victim because they had very poor survival skills and i can say that made people even more angry professor of johns hopkins university in the usa, serhiy radchenko agrees, people in china are unhappy with the government's tough response to the spread of the government's covid policy, there is growing dissatisfaction among the people with how the authorities have handled the lockdown, including cases where people were effectively locked at home for weeks without access to food or basic necessities quarantine measures in china are really very strict, lionilyuk says, according to her, in some cases, the authorities installed metal bars on the doors of houses to prevent people from entering leave homes during the lockdown every time they find one case of covid in a house they lock down the whole building and sometimes even more the whole area people were locked in their homes for a long period of time there is

constant testing for the virus people have to line up to get it these are really extreme measures and this applies not only to big cities in china yesterday i talked to my family even in such a small town where i come from there are also lockdowns but if the protests in china started with the dissatisfaction with quarantine restrictions very quickly grew into something more and took on a political color people are demanding the resignation of the chinese communist leader city from which communist party do they want freedom so it's much broader it's more than just frustration with the very strict covid policy people are really fed up with some of the demonstrators and really express their direct criticism of the communist government and the personality of zina president we must put an

end to his dictatorship because he only cares about himself his dictatorship. that is why many people died because of him, but the good news is that many people are aware that the president is illegitimate. serhiy radchenko says that there have been various protests in china from time to time, but what distinguishes the current demonstrations from others is their geographical distribution throughout the country, according to him in the last there were such large actions of dissent in 1989, then it all ended with the bloody suppression of the protest on the tianjin me square in pekingitod. we saw centers of protests, for example , in the south of china there were protests by farmers ethnic protests, for example, in simian, again, for many years there have been individual demonstrations, including self-immolation, as a sign of disagreement with government policies and government repression, but what distinguishes the current protests is their scale and the fact that they are taking place in different cities of china uniting very different types of

people and this is a new thing and despite this, in the opinion of the councilor, the current protests are unlikely to pose a serious threat to the communist regime in china slogans against sisinping but so far we have not seen nothing to go beyond these limits, so i think it will be unlikely that these demonstrations can turn into a mass anti-government uprising on the scale of 1989, i would say that the chances of this are extremely low, it is much more likely that these protests will lose their power, people will express their disappointment and they did, of course there will be some police measures and we are already seeing them they are erecting barriers they are arresting some people so i guess this is what we should expect for now chinese officials have promised to ease the quarantine somewhat restrictions in cities if possible, however, ideals insist on a tough approach to combating covid, at the same time, the police began calling some of the participants of the protests and asking about their participation in the demonstrations. i am afraid that those people

who during the protests expressed their political views and demanded political freedom and even called for chinese the authorities to resign fighting that the authorities will deal with them quite harshly because as we know the chinese leaders have very little tolerance for this kind of imposture at the moment it is difficult to predict what the antiquated days of protests in china may ultimately lead to, but experts agree that this should definitely be closely monitored by oleksiy osika voice of america in kotar is in full swing the world cup in ukraine has just ended the first half of the football season, it started on independence day on august 24, i played in all three professional leagues, despite the rocket fire that was the beginning of a full-scale war, the clubs did not finish the previous football season, and the champions were not announced, however, in the summer of 5 ukrainian clubs started in the eurocups by holding matches in neutral stadiums

fenziva - this is exactly when the armed forces began to use white crosses to mark their combat vehicles. today there were t-shirts with the inscription heavenly punishment, this is an initiative group of guys who make drones, this match passed without sirens, but more than a dozen times the ukrainian teams had to take shelter. due to the threat of missile strikes, the series continues. well, you have to stop the training . you have to stop the match. the match lasts for three hours and four hours . i am a very difficult component for daily daily work
