very expensive, well, at home, we didn’t actually study because we used to have online lessons, but there is light, then there is no connection. in poltava , my husband had a car repair shop. and for me, everything depends on electricity, and they absolutely do not allow me to do it at home. i have to feed my 5 children. come on, in principle olga eysmond, on the contrary, returned to kyiv for the winter in march. a woman with three children lived in germany. it is possible. stranger. it is very easy to find friends. here i stayed for a long time, but still, when i see that my child is difficult of course it's also well affects the decision-making before returning , says olga, she was preparing in germany, she spent 1,000 euros, there is a gas cylinder

, what candles and decor and light are two batteries and a small year and it glows in our gold tile well, of course, there is a water supply, according to the data of the kyiv international institute of sociology 74 40% of ukrainians consider their homes adapted to heating interruptions. this winter, 40% of them say they are ready, but they still need some finishing touches. fully ready 34% of those surveyed as of february 24, according to un data, 14 million ukrainians left abroad, 7 million returned, according to the director of the european regional office of the university hans kruge, more than 2 million ukrainians may leave due to the cold

due to russian shelling of energy facilities , daria kincha, public news, a new wave of ukrainian refugees is waiting in lithuania, according to the forecasts of the minister of internal affairs countries can come to lithuania from 60 to 100,000 more people, in what conditions do ukrainians live there, we will ask maria kutniakova, she went there herself from occupied mariupol good evening marie greetings andriy, please tell me how many ukrainians are currently in lithuania and where they are resettled, what are the conditions, see about 90,000 ukrainians, refugees are already arriving who came specifically to spend the winter, that is, for a few months, there is a problem with housing, because lithuania is actually the size of donetsk and luhansk the region together and by population is one kyiv and 90,000 ukrainians, and

about 45,000 belarusians and 15,000 russians also came , that is, in general, this is a large number of people for such a country, and there was not enough living space in the residential complex free for all refugees, but if we are talking about a mother with small children or a family given by people with disabilities, elderly people, then the state is trying to find options, lithuanian volunteers are trying to find options, and in principle, now the prices are 20-30% more expensive than in ukraine, but if you look at to other european countries. these are some of the lowest prices, but the salary here is higher, and when you come to lepbuk, you immediately receive a work permit and you will be able to get

a job that you find for a few months. if you plan to spend the winter, you will definitely be able to find the minimum wage - it is 500-600 €, there are three large cities in lithuania - this is the capital, and there, of course, the highest prices for housing, a two-room apartment can be rented from 350 to 600 € somewhere in this range but if you find a job or are just looking for a place to reserve, then i suggest you look in other cities of lithuania, where apartments are much cheaper, it is a dream, but if there is such a large number of ukrainians for such a small lithuania, you say you can find a job and receive some salary how difficult or easy is it, and is it possible to place children temporarily in

kindergartens at schools, are there any queues, see freedom in kaunas, and there are ukrainian schools in klaipėda, that is, the number of ukrainian children is so large that they have found teachers and premises, and it is possible to study in lithuanian schools in principle, you will also be able to place a child, but education there is conducted in the lithuanian language, i do not think that ukrainians will want to place their children in russian-speaking schools, but i want to remind you that lithuania was part of the soviet union that is, a very large number of older people. they know russian or at least understand it, young people know english very well, that is, if you have a frightening language barrier, it will not actually exist here, as for some educational institutions there, eh, and you can continue your child's education in an online school or trying to get a job in a

ukrainian school is real, but they are only acid in lithuania, if in the small towns of lithuania, the ukrainian refugees themselves organize the so -called e-e schools on saturday subscriptions, that is, where , for example, a child can continue to study some subjects, but according to a shortened program on weekends, but most ukrainian refugees, either their children continue their education online in ukrainian schools or, er, go to lithuanian schools and learn the lithuanian language. well, actually, if you have come for several months, it seems to me that there is no point in enrolling in a local school and you can continue to study remotely in ukrainian. thank you , maria, very much for joining our broadcast. i will remind you that it was maria kutniakova, but how do they accept thousands of ukrainian refugees in lithuania refugees from ukraine were accepted by the united states

of america, this is data from the world and the migration service of the country, more about the life of ukrainians in america will be told by voice of america correspondent ostapyarsh good evening ostape, i congratulate you well, 82,000 pen countries have accepted, the united states has accepted, this is due to distance in the united states, or the conditions of entry for ukrainians, you know, this is due to various factors, that at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, when the united states was developing a program for accepting ukrainian refugees, they emphasized that they expected that after all, the biggest wave will be received by european countries because they are closer to ukraine, they are easier to get to, and in principle, many ukrainian citizens, we see this and took advantage of it, and decided to find temporary shelter precisely in european countries, if we are talking about the united states indeed, this is the latest data of 82,000 ukrainian citizens who accepted one of the programs under the program,

which is a program here, and even united for ukraine, or here one calls it abbreviated , which implies that it was created and launched in april 2022 is provided for those ukrainian citizens and members of their families who were in the territory of ukraine either at the beginning of the full-scale invasion or shortly before it and were forced to leave their homes. this program allows you to come here to the united states for a term of up to two years, you can also apply for her for an employment permit to work here in the united states, however, it is very important that for this program you must have a sponsor in the united states who will be able to confirm their fee with the ability and agree on to finance the stay and travel from those people to another she accepts here in the united states it can be this sponsor we sponsor can be or family members of people seeking asylum can be organizations can be in the end ordinary strangers who

just decided to help ukrainian people here in the united states there are no additional payments from the u.s. government under this program to the states. but again, people can get a job if they apply for a work permit. there is actually another program and there is more to it. an additional number of ukrainian citizens are also in the united states, this is a program of temporary asylum status, it is designed for people who were already in the united states at the time of the full-scale invasion, and in fact, this program is valid for various countries , where military conflicts are ongoing, or where there are dangerous conditions for the lives of citizens. in 2020, ukraine was also added to the list of countries. you can apply for it on the website for this program on the website of the united states immigration service. and it is easy to do online and also with this status. if you are given it you can get a job and then somehow try to make a living here in the usa,

at least that way in america you will have to pay for it yourself and look for housing er and you will have to look for a job yourself yes and one more clarification i understand that now ukrainians cannot come to the united states as refugees states are still considering applications, 80,000 have now arrived in total, and they expected to accept about 100,000 ukrainian citizens here in the united states, that is, in principle, the united states is still accepting these applications and people will still arrive under this program, which is very housing and work, yes, you will have to work, then under this program, the party that is your sponsor will accept. yes, it is obliged to either provide housing or at least help financially at the beginning of e-e with accommodation, and at the moment, if there is no work or if you are looking for work

, this sponsor is also obliged in the end, if the people arriving as refugees have their own financial capabilities, they can finance it on their own, but the requirement that people not come to a simple place and not come empty-handed is really such that here people helped them with the award in the first half thank you ostap for such a detailed explanation, i will remind you that it was a correspondent of the voice of america ostap yarysh russian tv channel dosch will resume broadcasting in the territory of the european union with amsterdam journalists received permission for this from the dutch regulator last year on december 22, and today it was confirmed by the presenters live. according to their information, not all editorial staff received work permits in this country, and the decision of the latvian media regulator to deprive it of its license will be appealed by the council on issues latvian electronic media banned the broadcasting of the channel. due to the threat to national security and
