when i found a working store in three letters, it is closed, the light is gone, please, this bouquet is lucky. we have it and it doesn’t disappear. that’s how the generator on the street hums. my husband and i have a family business up to 20 thousand hryvnias, they give it, i understand. thank you very much for the bouquet, support of the ukrainian veteran business already now, find out the details on the website or by phone number, events, the most important events, events, what is happening it's just now that they affect our lives, of course

the news feed reports about them, but we don't know much about what's happening, we need to understand antin berkovsky and the invitation experts soberly assess the events, analyze them by modeling our near future that saturdays at 1:00 p.m. with a repeat at 10:00 p.m. studio event with anton by borkovskyi naispresso art in the country of war, a series of documentary films, each of which will tell about one of the ukrainian artists, artists who did not go abroad and continue their creative path. in ukraine , there is an impression that history just entered now, yes, at some such moment where everything just came together in her like a linear way, that's what happened there that we remember, then there was some kind of drag, but now it's like it's all at one moment and we see that well, everything

repeats itself, but how it changes the place and significance of the artist and his work in a country at war, see in the new tv series from docnotfield studio and association babylon 13 art in a country at war from january 16, weekdays from monday to friday at 11:10 a.m. on espresso i am iryna koval, mother, wife tv channel host espresso, i am also a volunteer, our soldiers at the front need a lot of things every day, and that is why part of my life today is helping the armed forces of ukraine, and i am very grateful to my colleagues for supporting me in this . excitement, explosions every minute, the gostomel airfield is on fire, russian fighter jets

, i have a cold basement in my window, then i left irpen under shelling for a month after being abandoned by my relatives , and in the end i ended up in lviv, returned to the airwaves and started volunteering together with my colleagues helping our military is now an integral part of life, we gather for drones and thermal imagers, we weave nets, and on weekends we are going to prepare vitamin teas for our defenders at the front, we all cut fruits together, we clean berries, we beat everything and pack it is always very happy to think that in a few days this tea will warm the ukrainian soldiers. everyone of you can help. even a small contribution to the support of the army saves the lives of our soldiers and brings our victory closer.

i congratulate the program of the ukrainian voice of america on the air. i am its host, ostap. a fierce struggle continues on both sides of the people, this is how the situation in the white house was assessed by the coordinator of strategic communications of the us national security council, john kiribi , added that from the russian side, the fighters there are mostly mercenaries of the wagner pvc, who were former prisoners, despite the cost, russia is literally throwing its soldiers under bullets , she said in the white house and assured that the usa continues to help ukrainians to defend themselves in this and other directions, we do not know how the situation will develop, so i will not predict success or failure, but even if the russians will take control of bakhmut and soledar as well, this will not have a strategic impact on

the war itself and it will certainly not stop the ukrainians or slow down their efforts to regain their territory and i would remind you that i know that we are all focused on these two cities right now but again, do a couple of steps back, if you look at what has happened in the last 10 1/2 months, in particular, in donbas, cities and villages changed hands quite often. so, do not write off the ukrainians in my last comment. meanwhile , he arrived on a visit to washington prime minister of japan fomiyo kishina is one of the topics of discussion in the white house, joint support of ukraine with the united states, experts claim that japan played an extremely important role in the formation of a global coalition to oppose russia, we will ask more about this from yulia yarmolenko, who studied the topic and now joins we are from the white house. yuliu. i congratulate you. so, let's talk more about this visit. why is it important, including for

ukraine . what else do you have? because we know that japan is presiding over the group of seven this year and for the foms that are still going on, this is an opportunity to make sure that the alliance, that unity and unity within the group of seven is extraordinary, and especially when the world is facing a number of global threats, one of the important topics that the fomia talks about together with his allies and directly with the president of the united states, joe biden, this is how to do it in order to restrain china. and how will it be done in order to stop the russian war against ukraine, and today at the white house, before the start of the meeting, president joe biden thanked hamsters for joining the global coalition from the very beginning of the full-scale invasion and condemning russia 's actions and holding russia accountable. actually, hamsters and us president joe biden issued a joint statement following their meeting at the white house where emphasized that they continue to stand clearly in

opposition to russian aggression against ukraine, they will do everything to support ukraine , sanctions against russia will continue, but unbreakable aid will also continue from the united states, japan and the group of seven for ukraine, july we talk a lot about joint support from the united states and europe, but japan also plays a small role in rallying the world around helping ukraine. western countries respond to how they help ukraine, but in fact the coalition is not only western, it is a global coalition, and it was mostly japan that made it global. after all , from the very beginning, since february 24, it supports ukraine condemned russia unequivocally, and they also joined the powerful sanctions. i spoke, in particular, with an expert from the american institute of entrepreneurship, zach kupor, and he

says that japan played a key role in preventing japan from joining this coalition. he believes that other countries in the asian region did not join either. to the condemnation of russia. this is what he said about the strength of the coalition with japan. there was a risk that this coalition would be perceived as a nato or american-european coalition, and for the united states it was extremely it is important to work with other countries in asia and elsewhere so that they join and show that in fact there are certain fundamental rules that cannot be violated and these are not only european or american rules, these are global rules that are supported by leading countries around the world. japan looks like this now and is increasing its security, is it possibly related to the lessons that the japanese could have learned after the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, the

ostaps are definitely connected, and now we also know that japan at the end of 2022 changed its national security strategy and in particular moved away from such a position of pacifism and to the fact that japan is now strengthening its security and has pledged to spend 2% of gdp on its own defense needs, this is almost twice as much as it is spending now, and that is why experts say that japan is killing its the post-war past about the fact that japan was such a soft power and is actually becoming a very important and military partner in the region for countries such as the united states, and it is also related to ukraine, of course, the russian war against ukraine, but also the threats that coming from china and north korea , the ambassador of ukraine to japan told me in an interview that during all these 11 months of aggression

, japan studied very carefully what was happening in ukraine . by the way, it is happening in ukraine today, it can happen tomorrow, if you understand that, japan's technical position, which was different, is coming to an end, and not because japan is becoming aggressive, but because japan must have more active means at his disposal in order to protect himself in the event of yura's aggression. what exactly is japan helping ukraine with? ostap, it is on many levels, and in fact the ukrainian ambassador told me that it was unprecedented help and it is still ongoing . 1 billion 600 million dollars

, and it provides the most humanitarian aid, in particular through the organization of the united nations, but at the beginning of the war, in fact , from the end of the second world war, japan provided the government of another country and the army the help of another country was disarmament, but funds are needed for the functioning of the ukrainian military, and one important thing that the ukrainian ambassador emphasizes is that he believes that japan has become a key country that will help, that will create a background for the reconstruction of ukraine, and japan's chairmanship of the group of seven this year will play a role in he will also play a key role in this, it is really interesting yuliya thank you for your information yuliya yarmolenko was in touch with us and he is at the un headquarters, the meeting of the security council has started dedicated to this is the first briefing for ukraine this year, at which the situation in ukraine is considered exclusively, the event is being followed by my colleague iryna solomko, who is now joining the broadcast from the un headquarters, iryna, congratulations, and the meeting has only just begun,

but there is already the first information on what, according to expectations, will be focused on attention, and what issues do i plan to consider, vitaya ostap, eh, this is a separate meeting on ukraine, the security council has not held for more than a month, the last one was on december 9, and a lot of events took place during this time, starting with the deterioration of the security situation near soledar and bakhmut, and of course this is a shelling of the infrastructure, therefore the purpose of this meeting is to inform, and reports will be made by the deputy mini-deputies of the general secretary, rosmarida karlu, she will talk about the security situation, as well as martin griffitz, who will talk specifically about the humanitarian situation, which, unfortunately, has also worsened due to these shellings from ukraine , the manager of parova will speak as well. if we talk about ukraine and the members of the security council, then there is already information that, in particular, the united states , great britain and france, they will talk, including, about the accusations of the transfer of weapons and drones by iran to russia, which

is essentially a violation of the security council resolution iryna, what are the key goals that ukraine sets for itself at the un before the anniversary of the full-scale invasion. and yes, in fact, the plans of the ukrainian authorities are quite ambitious even president zelenskyy publicly spoke about the fact that there is such a desire to hold a summit in the fields of the un. resolved issue. she said that many formats are currently being discussed, this is the holding of the summit, this is also the holding of debates in the security council and the general assembly. if we talk about the meaningful fulfillment of something ukraine is striving for, then the main goal is the adoption of two resolutions. two priority issues today are the responsibility of the russian federation. let's look again. yes, the rule of law and the fact that the russian federation has been impunity all these years,

and we are talking about the fact that in order to, for example, the crime of aggression and attraction of the political leadership of the top leadership of the russian federation to the crime of aggression is an important element of our joint struggle, and for this, an international mechanism for bringing such responsibility to such responsibility must be launched, and therefore in order for it to have grounds, including diplomatic legal to the voting of the necessary corresponding resolution, the second priority is the peace formula, this is actually what president zelenskyi announced in indonesia during the g20 itself, these messages about the peace formula volodymyr zelenskyi may cause some misunderstandings or concerns about how the ukrainian authorities explain its application, so the peace formula is essentially 10 points. and what president zelenskyi proposed to the world during the g20 summit in

indonesia, and according to dzheparova, that is, there are 10 points points they should be reflected in the corresponding resolution, the text of which is currently being worked on by ukrainian diplomats and, accordingly, in new york and also in the capitals, and there is a desire for this resolution to be adopted by 24 february, however, according to dzhebarova, in fact, there are no talks about what is there. this is a peace proposal to russia. there are already some messages, yes, there are some voices that hint at certain traitorous tendencies, i have to debunk them, this is nonsense because no one, and as president zelenskyi very clearly said in many of his interviews and side speeches, will not trade a single centimeter of ukrainian

land, yes, we are talking about what is and should be a certain disc of the cross, there is a basis without this basis , any talks about peace are impossible, and this does not mean that tomorrow someone will sign a peace that is not in the sense of justice. all these 10 points correspond to the essence and principles of the un, so the ukrainian authorities really hope that it will be possible to gather such powerful support at the general assembly and that this resolution will be voted on. that is, this is the number one task. they talked about various aspects of ukraine's foreign policy already on monday in the time program. thank you, iryna, for this interview and for your work with us. i will remind iryna solomko from the un headquarters in new york to give ukraine everything it needs

military aid has already been called for in an interview with the ukrainian service of the voice of america by the former us secretary of state condolize this concern to provoke putin should not deter partners from helping ukrainians, and negotiations with the kremlin will now be either fruitless or profitable, russia believes kontrolyze reys, who currently heads the analytical center of the presidential university, spoke with her tetiana voorzko, because the joint former minister of defense robert giytze, please, did you call to provide ukraine with more and more powerful weapons? some in the usa, including many republicans, believe that the usa already helps ukraine too much. that we are helping ukraine a lot and we have allocated funds through congress to help. even more , this is rather a call for urgency that we

need to provide ukraine with the necessary means to it could continue to push back the russian aggressor, in fact, we probably could have predicted a few months ago that ukraine would need air defense because the only thing left for vladimir putin is to use terrorist tactics and launch missile strikes on ukrainian civilian centers, we could have predicted that. so let's work to anticipate and ukraine needs what it needs. the united states should remember that every time we waited in 1914, 1941 and 2001, we always had to introduce troops. no one ever asks for our troops ukrainians are ready to fight and suffer to support the international system in which it is unacceptable to destroy your smaller neighbor by military force this is what is at stake here america is extremely interested in teaching the russians a lesson that this is not allowed ukraine itself is

not at the official level of the usa but at a certain level there is an impetus for ukraine to start negotiations with russia already now, you seem to think otherwise, in order for the negotiations to follow the situation on the ground and not the other way around, we need diplomacy make sure that when there will be negotiations, and they will eventually take place, ukraine will be in the strongest position. this is not now. we see that the russians are once again putting pressure on donetsk region . will be with the results will leave the russians in a better position than they would have been if we had allowed the ukrainians to push their forces further, it is not for me to decide when the negotiations should begin . suffered from war crimes from the destruction of their territory who saw ukrainian citizens being taken by the russians to negotiate now is not something we can justify as

americans right now our job is to help ukraine prove that the actions of the russians will not succeed in the world in 2023 if you look in these photos, they look like they are from 1939. you were the secretary of state in 2008 during the bucharest nato summit when georgia and ukraine were denied the membership action plan. looking back, do you think that this it was a mistake, we in the bush administration advocated for ukraine and georgia to have an alliance at the bucharest summit, but nato was a consensus organization and there was no consensus then, so we did the best we could and declared that ukraine and georgia will one day become part of nato. i think that now thanks to the courage of ukrainians vladimir putin did one thing, he actually brought ukraine closer to nato, not as a member, but as a beneficiary of everything that nato can provide in addition to troops. someone said that

vladimir putin managed to put an end to german pacifism and swedish neutrality within a year, i think we will see nato with sweden and finland, i didn't even dream about it when we were there in 2008 . even if there is no final settlement, we will change the face of europe, the best thing is that we have to thank the ukrainian people for this, and now you supported nato to accept ukraine even before the end of hostilities, and the airwaves - this i think it is difficult to do because it is accompanied by a guarantee which i would not like to check frankly and give putin some kind of moral victory at the moment as we were asserted by bob gates we should be fully committed to the defense of ukraine to provide everything we can provide so that ukrainians can defend themselves this is where we should be but

the time will come when i think that said president zelenskyi. we must think about how to secure ukraine in the future and what security guarantees should be, but that is later. during the recovery period after the war, ukraine was in a stronger position, so whether the us administration and the export industry should prepare for the possible collapse of russia in order not to repeat the situation in 1991. yes, there is no doubt. we must prepare for all options, but i still hope that the time will come when it can another russia will emerge when it all started many people left russia young entrepreneurs people who wanted to be part of a revolution based on knowledge tatyana i taught some of these russians in my classes at stanford one day it will be a different russia i i hope it will happen peacefully, going back to 2008, do you think that the

response to putin's aggression in georgia should have been much stronger than in 2014 for the annexation of crimea, or do you think that the bush administration and the obama administration did not react decisively enough, thus creating the conditions for a full-scale offensive by russia i don't know what else we could do about georgia. to be honest, i believe that we stopped russian ambitions to take tbilisi, crimea, maybe there could have been stronger sanctions, the only thing i will say about crimea is that we are europe and the united states and the ukrainians used the time between the annexation of crimea and now to create a very impressive ukrainian defense force. the ukrainian military is fighting like a modern military. they are fighting with cunning and maneuvering. in part, the russians have such problems because they are fighting as a power of the 20th century. i think that ukraine has become stronger after the annexation of crimea. i think that ukraine has begun to resolve some of its internal conflicts and

a strong sense of ukrainian national identity has apparently emerged even among those in the east. although i hoped that we would do more at this time it was not lost, you were surprised by the reaction of the ukrainians and would like to tell the ukrainians directly. everyone was surprised by the possibilities of ukraine, but at the reaction i was in kyiv many times and i have been in other parts of ukraine. i know how strong the identity of the ukrainian people is. i know how they love their a language that is very different from russian. i tell people that i speak russian very well. but i can make mistakes in ukrainian because it is not one language. yes, i know all this, but i had to wonder about the unity of the country readiness for self-sacrifice, the skill of the ukrainian troops. i would say to the ukrainian people, thank

you . the ukrainians reacted the way they did, it is very difficult and without a doubt it will continue to be difficult, but i hope that the ukrainian people also believe, as i do, that we will be with you when the aggressor is repelled and the time comes rebuilding, it was an interview with the former us secretary of state, controller rice , you can view the full version of this conversation on the pages of voice of america in ukrainian on social networks, ukrainian startups showed dignity and pride at the technological conference of the cies in las vegas this year, 12 ukrainian companies presented their innovations in the usa despite the war in their own country, ilona voytovych learned about what startup founders return home with. 10 ukrainian

startups were brought today thanks to you to the cs conference in las vegas, despite the war in ukraine, in fact, and i think all ukrainians remember that ukrainian startups are actually an integral part of this conference, but it is true that every year they present their own huge innovations there, but this year, i think the goal was a little more unique than in previous years. what was the purpose of you bringing your delegation to las vegas today? it's a pity, two of them, uh, due to certain documentary problems, we couldn't go to the states, we somehow had them, we involved them in a virtual one, our

video of the usa this year, he really had several such messages, the first message, despite the war, we continue to develop, we continue to work on development we are stable, we are strong, we are united by war, but ukrainians continue to be amazed by their decisions, so we will win in any case, don't waste time, let's now set up future cooperation, let's now find new points of contact, new points collaboration, because then it will be too late, then when we win ukraine will turn into another one of the best innovative habibs, it will be

quite difficult, as they say, to push through in order to be able to invest funds in this or that problem-project or attract this or that partner in ukraine, that is, quite often a conversation with foreign partners, so that the topic like a cat was raised, how ukrainians were able to defeat the ridge of such a one in the russian bear well, we quite often heard the comparison that ukrainians are like a beehive bees we loved bees hard-working bees bees create something new kind of normal small but god forbid zaliztsi get into that hive and do something bad what is the state of the ukrainian it sector today and in the context of supporting the ukrainian economy in general, some ukrainian sectors in the

22nd year alone with him, many showed growth, that is, not just growth, growth is not bad there, according to different data from different studies and 16-18 to 19%. and currently the it sector , taking into account the total volume involved in this industry specialists, of course, with the exception of those who are currently in the ranks of the armed forces. this is quite such a large number. this is really and quite a significant support of the ukrainian economy. by what criteria was i selected today? this year, startups were selected for cs. uh, i don't know how to attract as much capital as possible, the competition was so significant, we started with 70 strategies and results, we chose 12, in relation to that, we

almost raised this question, rather, we looked at these projects through the lens of this project, how worthy this project can represent the ukrainian community, the ukrainian technological economy, the ukrainian entrepreneurship community, the community on the international arena. rather, which of the startups resonated the most were several of the projects that, in their own way, as they say, reached the hearts of the visitors. well, our ukrainian project relief was quite famous . paper production paper kraft paper from fallen leaves this topic is the system of power this topic and environmental topic it is now right on the attention rack here in the united states and the project button which produces an alert system
