december 4 at 12:10 i congratulate on the air the program of the ukrainian voice of america service chas time and host ostap yarysh in the american congress presented a bill on the recognition of grupp wagner as a terrorist organization the initiative was registered in the us senate. its authors, senators from the republican and democratic parties, roger wicker and ben-cartin , plan to introduce a similar bill in the house of representatives. the legislators say that in case the adoption of the initiative, the state department will be obliged to include the wagner group in the list of terrorist organizations, the leaders of the wagner group, yevgeny prigozhin and dmitry utkin, are already under us sanctions, the wagner group is reliably linked to countless atrocities in ukraine, as well

as in syria, and throughout the african continent, the united states must immediately recognize the wagner group as a foreign terrorist organization, this will reduce the copper of the russian armed forces and help bring the perpetrators to justice vladimir putin and his supporters will stop at nothing to achieve their goals , including sending mercenaries like wagner's group to commit atrocities on their behalf. the united states should call this shadow army a foreign terrorist group, and we should hold them accountable as well as anyone who supports them, joe biden's administration hopes that within the next two weeks , congress will vote to provide additional funds to support ukraine. almost 38 billion dollars, will this call find support from american legislators and will the us, as demanded by some representatives of the

congress, carry out stricter checks for aid to ukraine? i think that those of us who support ukraine should maintain the necessary transparency regarding where the money goes and how it is used. i think that the ukrainian government has done a good job on this. i know that the president zelenskyi and his officials understand well that transparency is necessary, they understand its importance, that's why they brought in the american accounting firm deloitte, that's why the world bank is involved, that's why we introduced monitoring of military equipment so that we know where it's going, that's why i believe that this should not slow down the provision of aid, in fact, it should encourage us to provide more knowing that it will be used wisely i will say that i have been there

several times since the beginning of the invasion and keep in touch with people i know that there is an active monitoring the us military in poland is telling me that this is a routine amount of monitoring that they are doing to make sure that the weapons are getting to the right place in the right hands so i think it is appropriate now maybe there are ways that we can improve this verification provide more reports to congress and make the process more transparent, but this should not slow down aid, in fact, it should give us confidence in the possibility of continuing to provide aid, which ukraine urgently needs now, not only in order to repel the russian aggression, but also in order to send a message to the whole world that tyranny and authoritarianism will not win. i have hope, we have a lot of support from both parties, the united states congress recognizes how important us aid is for the victory of ukraine in

the future, so i am very optimistic about what the ukrainians have done teaching the world how to win freedom over tyranny i am proud of them they are paying a great price for this and they are truly teaching the world so when they win they will be the new foundation for freedom to a huge part of the world where people will be able to make progress in their own societies, that's why i have great optimism about the future right now and we must maintain our determination as a united effort to help ukraine achieve the victory for which its people are fighting and we move on to european topics eu diplomats finally agreed to set the maximum price for russian oil at the level of $60 per barrel , restrictions are imposed on the oil that is transported by sea, such a measure is called after the countries of the group of seven that initiated the price limit earlier, the deputy secretary of the treasury of the united states, volya dyam,

welcomed such an agreement - saying that it would limit income to the russian budget and weaken its economy. reducing russia's revenues and secondly ensuring that we keep russian barrels on the market to ensure that prices remain low for everyone , we believe that the price ranges that have been discussed achieve these two goals and put us in the situation when russia's income will decrease while providing people with access to reliable and cheap energy in the future and the main thing to remember is that we start with $60. but we have the opportunity to move the price limit further and use this mechanism to limit russia's income. meanwhile, the chancellor olafshoris of germany

held a telephone conversation with vladimir putin and called on him to withdraw his troops from ukraine , the leaders of the countries agreed to stay in touch, the spokesman for the german chancellor said, this happened against the background of reports that berlin is preparing transfer to ukraine additional cheetah anti-aircraft guns, let's talk more about this with our european correspondent bohdan tsypun, who is joining our broadcast now. i congratulate you , if i'm not mistaken, the last conversation between scholz and putin was back in september, what are they talking about, and what is the purpose of such calls, so western leaders now do not often talk with the russian leader , and that is why such conversations attract a lot of attention and, for example, pay attention to the fact that it took place at least and report

on the moscow side, that it was on the initiative of the german side, but let's turn to what is being reported from berlin. i will allow myself to read here what was said for an hour. the conversation was devoted to russia's war of aggression against ukraine and its consequences . and emphasized germany's determination to support ukraine in ensuring its defense capability against russian aggression, and another important point in the message from the office of the bundeschancellor , he called on the president of russia to which a to reach an interpretative solution as soon as possible, including the withdrawal of russian troops, and it seems to me that this demand for a diplomatic solution with the withdrawal of russian troops from ukraine is obviously key, which

i am missing in moscow, i really did not like it, at least the reaction was already negative to such demands from the kremlin today, but in general, what tone is talking about russia now, the german leadership, in particular chancellor olafsholtsia the other day about the main direction of his policy when it comes to ukraine and the russian war in ukraine. i am convinced that russia can no longer win this war on the battlefield, constant attacks on infrastructure, water, energy, pipelines on ukrainian cities and villages, this is terrible, but it is also a desperate strategy of a burned out of land, we provide artillery with anti-aircraft weapons and are constantly looking for

what else can be done, especially with regard to air defense, russia must understand we will continue to support ukraine as long as it is necessary economic, financial, humanitarian, and weapons. chancellor bohdan mentioned military aid to germany, and today i see a report in the media that boring is preparing to hand over to ukraine seven more cheetah anti-aircraft guns, which the armed forces of ukraine already use to repel air attacks. deliveries of german leopard tanks have not yet been reported, which berlin has reservations about this before the leopards, let's talk about the cheetahs, it's a little smaller, so to speak, a cat and a smaller e-e tank. even so, some people call these self-propelled armored anti-aircraft installations a light tank designed to fight

targets in the air. this is a very effective weapon that proved to be during the russian war in ukraine, despite the fact that the bundeswehr e-e was decommissioned by the german army but these machines turned out to be for, for example, the shooting down of iranian drones over ukraine , or for others, for helicopters, for example. or even for missiles that fly more slowly, for example , cruise missiles? this is a very effective, effective weapon . and german inspectors or german experts noted that when they talked with the ukrainian military, cheetahs were at the top, so to speak , of the list of what the ukrainians requested from germany . ukraine has already received 30 such machines

. germany, and now we have a message that the german manufacturers are preparing for shipment, that is, they are checking, repairing, bringing to a better condition seven more such cheetahs that will be sent to ukraine, as for leopards, that is, it is about e heavy combat tanks that would help ukraine , in particular, as experts say, in liberating the territories occupied by the russians, and the ukrainian minister of foreign affairs recently once again emphasized that ukraine needs heavy tanks of western production, unfortunately, this issue is stuck, stuck , in particular, at the highest level, and at the international level because germany, which is a very large manufacturer of e-e tanks, in particular the leopard that was mentioned, stated that this is a very serious issue, that the germans can

not accept it alone, that it is necessary to approve either at the international level among partners or the united states should be the first to take such a step, and in fact the germans expect leadership from the united states in the matter of providing heavy tanks, this is interesting, bohdane, you know. nevertheless, the position of germany regarding the supply of weapons to ukraine has changed, so if we compare with the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia with those statements we heard back in february. what made berlin so gradually revise its policy in this regard, the russian war in ukraine made a-a and i would built such a series, which i ask you to pay attention to our audience on february 22, two days before the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine , german chancellor olafsholz came out and announced that

germany was closing the nord stream-2 project already on february 27, after the invasion began, the german chancellor announced a new policy of germany europe learned the german word saitin wende, which means a turning point in history, the germans announced that they are changing their defense policy in general and international policy in general and already in in april of this year, the german bundesstaff approved a decision that approved the provision of heavy weapons to ukraine, which previously stated that it could not sell weapons to conflict zones in germany, which stated that it had a historical responsibility not to supply, not to interfere in wars, completely changed its policy, ukraine began to receive howitzers from germany, cheetahs , what are we talking about

? the defense spending of this country will increase significantly and it is hoped that it will eventually strengthen europe in general and in this regard i would like to pay attention to the statement of the prime minister of finland, who is in australia, by the way, said that europe is still weak and unfortunately is completely dependent on the united states, particularly in terms of military and financial aid to ukraine, the europeans need to become stronger and if germany continues to follow this path, it will help ukraine, you really know. this is quite an interesting topic, bohdan, i think we will return to it as well on the next broadcasts thank you for your analysis for your information, i will remind you that bohdan tsyupan was in touch with us, more than a week has passed since the

last massive shelling by russia of the energy infrastructure of ukraine, now the authorities are warning that there will be further attacks and it is worth preparing for them, as the international community is helping this and is there a risk that ukraine may be left without light, heat and communication not for a day but for a week? you have collected the opinions of experts from america, continue lesya bakalets compact tourist burner gas cylinders a lamp on batteries and power banks with such a set, oleksiy from kyiv could easily go on a campaign before a full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, right now this is the necessary minimum to survive in the winter in a high-rise building in the capital, for example, on the 23rd floor, when there is no electricity, the pumps do not deliver water to 23 on the first floor, we stock up on technical water, we bought such large twenty-liter bottles, and there are 4-5 pieces for technical water

, the same amount for drinking. oleksiy works in the it field in the office. they have a generator for the house, he bought it for himself the charging station has had light since the last russian attack in his house at night from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. we connect a lamp on the battery and here our charging station is what ukraine experienced last week. energy experts call it a blackout. it is not determined by the duration or scale of the spread. hours or even weeks , the key thing here is that the power system is turned off unplanned by the dispatchers, and in itself it was an uncontrolled shutdown of the power system due to the fact that the rockets hit the stations that responded in transformer substation, which was responsible for the transmission of electricity from nuclear power plants to consumers, as a result, nuclear power plants could

not transmit the generated energy and their fuse system turned off such a disconnection from the power system of all reactors in the country, an unprecedented case in the history of nuclear power, such that all power units were shut down in an emergency, and then they were like this well, we turn on everything and continue to work. and this instability is harmful to the operation of the npp . on the diesel generator when it turns off from the power grid, it's already scary, it's already an abnormal situation acs are not made so that they can be turned on, turned off, turned on and off, that is, connected and disconnected from the power system, acs began to be connected to the power grid the day after the missile strikes, but with each new by the attack, the power engineers' ability to quickly repair the damage is exhausted, at least

the necessary spare parts are not enough. this equipment is manufactured only to the order of e-e customers they are in the manufacturing queue for it there for six months, a year can last. that is, it is not the case that i went and bought it in a store there. the worst development of events is difficult to predict. it depends on the number and intensity of russian missiles and the work of ukrainian air defense, but for now, energy experts remain optimistic , the whole country says you will not be in the dark for long, the biggest scenario may be if it is difficult for us to reconnect the generation, that is, when our transformer substations, which are actually not 100% damaged. it's just percentage uh of high-voltage transformer substations in ukraine, the damage is just a little bit, but all the damage is like that, if a situation occurs when they are all completely destroyed, then of

course the system will be restored almost within a reasonable time and you will be there for two or four days. maybe, but i can’t imagine what the russians have to do, and to achieve such a result, a scenario where certain areas will be left without centralized electricity supply for some period, i.e. for two weeks a week, is quite likely until there is a solution, the biggest problem is that there is no centralized electricity supply, it will mean a stoppage of water supply and drainage, there will be no centralized heating even without electricity. bought more warm clothes with my wife, but they are not going to leave the city yet, in principle, the situation is not easy, but it is very wonderful that we all remain optimistic, we all support each other. we have various chats where we share information about how each of us

how does everyone feel here, parents, friends, our office is here, we have quite a lot of employees working in our company, eh. therefore, it seems to us that it is better for now, it is better to be here. 53 million dollars to support the purchase of equipment for the ukrainian energy grid, meanwhile, president zelensky and the central intelligence agency warn that russia is preparing for new attacks lesya mykolaivtsi oleksiy osyka voice of america out to the united states presented a documentary film mariupol is not lost hope is the testimony of people who survived the occupation of the city and were able to save themselves the hero five citizens who lived in mariupol the first month of the full-scale invasion the picture was created by leading ukrainian producers who

specially united to shoot a movie about the prerequisites of the hit and its consequences of russian aggression, iryna sonkok visited the screening of the tape in the suburbs of philadelphia, the third day of the war, when it is very scary , something must be done, my friend advises a psychotherapist during the air raid, she already washed the floor in the entrance three times, now i will give a sterile floor and she overcame fear i write in some kind of nonsense during the shelling because nothing comes to my head and it comes out - what am i afraid of i count the explosions, listen to the rumblings and write and the diary of the mariupol journalist nadia suhrukova from the first days of the war and the blockade of mariupol, she published on her facebook page posts about what she saw around her almost immediately, this diary was noticed by the ukrainian producer volodymyr

borodyansky, in a discussion with his colleagues, came up with the idea of ​​making a documentary film based on the recordings. we still didn't understand how we were going to shoot. we couldn't find nadia there and left. in short, it wasn't clear to you. we contacted nadia. she was already by the time we contacted her . yazuvala left mariupol and then we started looking for heroes. well, in principle, somewhere in august , the film was already finished. nadiya, her husband ksenia, whose son died in front of her eyes, who gave birth to a child under shelling, and also the artist daniil share their memories of those terrible events, part of our the task of ukrainians in general, yes, they made it so that our voice was heard well, so that someone did not talk about us well, not only about us, someone talked about it, as it is told there, european news or american news will be in western documents, this is an important part, but there is our part on that we we ourselves here who every day face some kind of

war there with big, small and medium ones. well , we live here, yes. and we have our own feelings about what is happening, and it is important to film and show these feelings of the people who are next to us and in including this is also part of the fixation in the memory of what is happening again. it seems to me that no one reflected at all what happened in the 21st century when half a million cities were completely destroyed and still we cannot count the number of victims or understand the scale of what took place where the director of the film, maksym lytvynov, worked on the picture with such and such evacuated who what who went immediately in the old to establish war i that's how i

hung in such and such i tried to be useful to the country therefore there was no question whether i would take part in documentary projects because it was an opportunity to make at least something useful film. there is no voiceover or production footage, only the memories of the heroes, only the testimonies of people, according to the director, became a safeguard against any possible accusations of propaganda, the bodies were left there because the shelling continued and it was necessary to save those who were alive because all four of us were wounded, as i found out later, there were several more raids on the house, the house burned to this day, i don't know if my son was buried or not , the bodies burned together with the house incredibly, another challenge for the director was

to maximize the audience of the picture so that it could be seen even by teenagers, and it was necessary to find a format that would allow showing all the horrors of the besieged mariupol without documentary footage of the dead on the streets, and that is why the idea of ​​​​the picture came to paint peaceful mariupol and then paint on top of it mariupol, which was destroyed by the war and just painted for a few years, it is already a dead person, a dead child, uh, destroy the drama theater or the train station, the pictures in our heads are much richer than what can be shown on the screen, that's why i wanted this, this, and everything that happened to them, to our heroes, and in the diaries of hopes, it happened in the viewer's head, and i took such a step, i drew it and it was easy to imagine

, and not you'll see the ball, that is, i had scary footage from mariupol, but i didn't start using it yet, i started very easily , slowly, and brought up to such scary things very gently, and in my opinion, anyway. of course, the audience tells me that the film is very difficult for there is no viewing words hit so terribly and then we read why on television but you tell a story, and just from the mouth of those women, it somehow hits the heart and the soul again , and we really see how strong our ukraine is, how strong our people are and how not and i have a

different answer, except for a complete victory of ukraine, i want to close my eyes, hide under the pressure of the bench and run away, but i just think that it is a pity that people somehow want to not see that pain, but it must be continued to be shown, look as much as possible and spread among americans between other peoples not only in ukraine, because as people will see it, they will understand that terrible evil, i knew the military dimension of those events. and the film shows the human dimension for those people who do not fully know and understand what is happening there, and now they have this picture that the film painted for them, he shows what real life is like in wartime in

borodyansky's plans to continue showing films in the united states, including in the academic environment, the film was created with the funds of ukrainian producers who at the beginning of the war got together, got a million hryvnias out of their pockets and started filming mariupol is not lost hope in the ukrainian translation is available on youtube, but the producers have already sold the english-language version to a large european distributor and it is selling around the world. i haven't seen the report yet, i don't know what exactly he sold to europe by several countries well, there 10-15 countries have already bought the film yes european countries meanwhile the association of ukrainian producers continues to work on films, work on two more films dedicated to mariupol as a whole, currently the association has 16 films in its portfolio at various stages of production, all of them tell about the horrors ukrainians have been going through in the last nine months , the power of delphia, iryna solomko, pavlo terekhov, the voices of america, and on this we will say goodbye to join
