a banal domestic quarrel with parents in the vast majority of cases, it still remains a misunderstanding with parents and situations are different, it is not necessarily prosperous families, children disappear with the family that seemed to be all right, but the parents, whether due to lack of time or other personal circumstances , we are all human cannot find understanding with their own child in a certain period of time, and such children can also get away with it. parents of teenagers need to treat the child's maturation with respect. it is important for the child to know that in any difficult situation he can turn to the parents and get support , keep in mind that with strict prohibitions you can simply frighten the child and she can go away from the opposite and will specifically be either on words or, let's say, do not object in everything, these are all written and reinforced and she can simply run away and stop communicating with

his own parents. whatever the reason for the teenager's escape into the street, the child is in danger, it is necessary to return him to safety as soon as possible, for this, immediately contact the police and the child tracing service, the number of our hotline is 116 000 from all mobile operators in ukraine will be free to watch the program of the ukrainian voice of america service, i am nataliya leonova. congratulations, defense minister shalova to osyn

met with the new german defense minister boris pistorius to obtain permission from berlin for the transfer of german-made tanks to ukraine. this was reported by reuters from with reference to own sources in the american government, at the same time german chancellor offsholtz, while at the davol forum, said that berlin would supply heavy tanks to ukraine if the us also the tanks have arrived, well, this is the hp agency, congressman democrat gregory meeks told the day before that the deputy secretary of defense of the united states kolen kal , after his visit to kyiv, announced at a press conference in the pentagon that in the new package of aid to ukraine, the priority will be air defense equipment and bradley infantry vehicles, however, in response to a question about the possibility of transferring tanks abrams collins kal said that the us ministry of defense is weighing the pros and cons at the press conference the correspondent of the voice of america karla bab deputy minister

kurin-kou said that the pentagon is focused on what he called the next stage of the battle for ukraine, according to him, the pentagon wants to focus on increasing the supply of weapons that the ukrainians need to change the current dynamics, or on the dynamics, he said, looks like this: russian forces and ukrainian forces are exchanging victories and losses in the territory of a few blocks or a few kilometers and a new wave of weapons from the coat of arms of the allies, as he said, the new phase in the supply of these weapons is designed to change this the dynamic of what exactly it is about can be seen in the package of military aid that the usa provided to ukraine, the bradley armored personnel carriers are at the top of this list , he expressed the hope that mechanized capabilities will change this dynamic. a few

challenger 2 tanks, the french provided their imx-10, and therefore natural reporters in the pentagon asked, okay? and if before the usa provided tanks, are they going to provide the abrams that they are asking for of ukrainians, the deputy minister of defense kal did not give an unequivocal answer, but noted that when such decisions are weighed in the pentagon, they look at the pros and cons. abrams is a very expensive weapon and a lot of resources are needed to support this tank, it literally has a jet engine inside, so he emphasized that there are many important factors that need to be taken into account when choosing which mechanized and armored weapons will be the best for ukraine at this moment i also asked him about atakams - this is a long-range missile i tried to squeeze out of him an answer to why the pentagon gave the ukrainians atakams, at the moment they have handed over dimer missiles to the ukrainians

, they fire hymars installations, these are ground-class missiles with a range of about 90 km, but atakams would give the ukrainians the opportunity to shoot at a distance about 300 km and they say that this is what is needed to destroy russian facilities in crimea, but so far the pentagon believes that the ukrainians can make progress and can push out the russians from ukraine without these weapons, the honorable accents that you will see in the coming days will be in the field of air defense systems, such as the seal system provided by the united states, and regarding the increase of mechanized capabilities, such as bradley armored vehicles and tanks, which we saw from the allies, and let's not forget the restoration of the combat effectiveness of soviet-era weapons, which according to mr. kal, proved to be very significant on

the battlefield in ukraine. at the rammstein base, where about 50 countries of the world will gather about the prospects of a new rand of military aid to ukraine, we will talk with our european correspondent bohdan tsyupany, who is joining the studio from london. congratulations to bohdan before leaving for rammstein. tanks, did they manage to reach some kind of agreement bohdan natalya , all our colleagues who follow ukraine, who follow european american news today listened carefully to that what did the american and german minister of defense say after the meeting on the eve of the rammstein meeting during their press conference, the word tanks, the word

leopards, the name of the german tanks was not mentioned. and this does not mean that there was an agreement at all er, it is impossible or it has not been achieved , but as of today, as of this evening , the american defense minister had something to thank germany for, but so far tanks have not been mentioned, here are his words ukraine, we will continue to support the ukrainian people who resist russian aggression and defends its sovereign territory, i want to thank the german government for everything it has done to strengthen the self-defense of ukraine, your contribution to the security systems created and the training of defenders of ukraine is invaluable. i also appreciate your strong support for our increased presence and logistical operations for the rapid movement of soldiers and equipment to and through germany to

strengthen our eastern allies said that warsaw will transfer german tanks to ukraine even if it does not receive permission for this darina as far as i understand, this is a violation of the export of the agreement between poland and germany, how realistic is this step and whether it opens the door for similar decisions to be made by other allies who also declared their readiness to provide ukraine with german tanks natalia e-e because this was stated by a person of the rank of prime minister of a serious european member state the eu and nato, and norway obviously does not mince words, so it is certainly possible, but it is obvious that it would be a problem. and it would be a problem for at least two obvious reasons, first of all , it would indicate that the allies cannot

to reach an agreement and it is obvious that on this occasion in moscow they would probably advise the european allies in general, nato allies in general, the countries that support the west help ukraine , it is obviously better to act in concert, another important reason is that germany produces leopard tanks, which are now most talked about as the most desirable for ukraine, so it is very germany not only agreed to the supply of these tanks as the main exporter, not only could it share with its leopard tanks from its arsenals, but also would help with them equipment, conversion and obvious repairs, and in particular, by the way, when they talk about it , they say that, for example, there would be a problem with american tanks. in the event of, for example, a serious breakdown or problem, would it be necessary

to send them overseas for repair? well, maybe somewhere closer, but still, the distances are obviously quite others, but at the moment the poles are speaking about germany very sharply, very sharply, and maybe this is part of the international pressure that is currently felt on berlin, and let's listen, for example, to this statement of the polish prime minister today in fact, the last day there is a lot of pressure on germany regarding the provision of modern leopard tanks to ukraine, but i will tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that at the moment i am moderately skeptical, moderately pessimistic, because the germans defend themselves from this like hell against holy water, they do not want to supply their modern equipment, especially leopards without eleven of european countries announced new unprecedented packages of military aid to ukraine, the country agreed on this within the framework of the so

-called tallinn promise of bohdana, what initiative is it about and what is included in this help and this was announced today at a meeting of e-e ministers actually a dozen countries e-e list this is the impression that continues from the nine reported here in london to the 11 that we have seen in other versions but surely this statement is primarily intended to show others allies and once again remind that we are preparing for an official meeting in rammstein tomorrow on the fact that ukraine needs a new level of military aid and that it is precisely this kind of aid that is now ready to provide at least these ten countries and we can now listen and see an excerpt from their statement where

pay attention to complex assistance and in particular you will hear and see the word tanks , a new level of combat power can only be achieved by combining main battle tank units under the cover of anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense in cooperation with divisional artillery groups with subsequent precision strikes in every depth makes it possible to heal the russian supply and command nodes in the occupied territory, therefore we undertake together to ensure the supply of an unprecedented set including main battle tanks, heavy artillery, anti-aircraft defense , ammunition and infantry fighting vehicles for the defense of ukraine. so, bohdan, we see the desire of several countries that are allies of ukraine to provide

tanks to ukraine. western tanks but i think we need to pay attention to one very, very important point germany is a very large donor of military and other aid to ukraine so large that if you count its contribution of military humanitarian aid. together with the fact that it invests in general aid from the european union, germany ranks second after the giant after the united states, france, great britain, other countries will be lower than germany in terms of volume. germany provides self-propelled howitzers. germany provides, as announced recently, infantry fighting vehicles marder, germany provides training for the ukrainian military, that is, the role of germany is very important, but when it comes to tanks, it is a new level of assistance at the end of

caution for their historical experience they consider this step too serious and do not plan to take it lightly thank you bohdan for your analysis we will follow the meetings in rammstein tomorrow the war between russia and ukraine the two largest orthodox centers in the world did not become a reason for sorting the orthodox world against the war about it at the conference of the international orthodox theological association in greece, metropolitan ambrose of korea said and noted that very few orthodox church leaders have actually taken a public anti-war stance the participants of the conference discussed the position of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate and the issue of local churches, particularly in america. the course of the discussion natalia churikova spoke with the teacher of the pontifical oriental institute in rome daniil galadzei to what extent

this war divided this orthodox world. there were round table sessions devoted to issues in war and peace. and there they said that it was necessary to clearly condemn the war, there were even very interesting discussions. where did the representatives of the portrait of spisgalushi participate, that is, the orthodox society for peace, where do they consider themselves? i would say yes, they are pure pacifists, and there were participants of the conference, from ukraine, and one of the i don’t know what to call the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate or the church of metropolitan onufry, as in ukraine , now what exactly what they are saying about the church and the moscow patriarchate in ukraine, i didn’t understand exactly, but one representative of this church, or

a member of that church, also said, he said that it is necessary to understand that ukrainians not only have the right, but must defend their country, and that was as a challenge to this representative of this orthodox society for the assistance of peace, who had to admit that he was a pacifist, he would know that here ukrainians must defend themselves, he said with great sadness that whenever any christian takes up arms, it is spiritual psychological consequences, there was one theologian from zlivanu who very clearly said that if turkey attacked greece tomorrow, would you, as an orthodox greek, preach that you just need to pray and contribute to the measure as they kill you, no one could answer answer clearly because they also knew the answer that they would not allow such a

thing when the first constituent conference was held in 2019, the ukrainian orthodox church, or rather the orthodox church of ukraine, it was only created at that time, or in four years, it acquired some kind of voice in the orthodox in the world as one of the largest orthodox churches in the world in 2019, i was not personally present at this conference, except that the main report of that year was delivered by metropolitan kali stosomguer, who died last year and by that time he was recognized as a world expert in orthodox orthodox theology and eastern christianity and from what i heard it was unexpected that he did not support tomos very much and that he was the bishop

of the ecumenical patriarchate in england and he asked different questions and a little bit of criticism regarding this year's tomos, if we accept that it was the main first report of the 19th year, compare it with this year's report, there was only support for the decision of the ecumenical patriarchate regarding the tomos and ukraine, and it is clear er condemnation of the moscow patriarchate i would say there was a big difference and it can be said that the influence of the orthodox church of ukraine can be felt, there is also the issue of jurisdiction, which very strongly divides the orthodox among themselves, and we know that this was an issue that was discussed during the granting of the tomos to the orthodox church of ukraine and this issue is also relevant for america, where there is no single local orthodox church, there are many orthodox

communities under different jurisdictions. there are russian communities, ukrainian communities, serbian greek communities of antioch, when even president biden congratulated the orthodox on january 7, it was not entirely clear to whom he was addressing, because many of those communities had already switched to the gregorian calendar. yes , it's true, it's obviously a matter of jurisdiction - this is a big issue not only in the orthodox the world and the catholic world, too, because very often there was an idea that the ancient church should have one city and one bishop, and the roman catholic church and, for example, the ecumenical patriarchate tried to adhere to this position, but it was already it is known that during the history of such an ideal, not everything could be put into practice

, and now it is often discussed that the status of who is possible, that is, that there is one city and several bishops who consider themselves to be the bishops of that city with that title. it is time to simply come to terms with this and work for some resolution of relations in other ways through dialogue or cooperation of the community of churches in america that follow this new calendar or the new julian calendar, this is the already mentioned orthodox church of america antiochian the patriarchate, that is, the church that has connections with the patriarchate of antioch and christians near the east where the liturgical language is very often arabic, the romanian church, the bulgarian church, because there are not many bulgarian

communities in america, and it seems that these are the main communities. the julian calendar, that is, the calendar that is more dominant in ukraine until now, that is the church, the ukrainian orthodox church, which is under the ecumenical patriarchate in america, canada, the russian orthodox church, whether with the moscow patriarchate or with the foreign the church and the serbian patriarchate of the greek-catholic community in america are mainly according to the gregorian counterpart, i.e. 100%. were there any issues discussed that the orthodox can solve together? are there any issues in which the orthodox in the world can speak with one voice? the orthodox in the world can obviously preach the gospel with one voice. they all recognize the main principles of the faith of the gospel of jesus christ and

in this way because of the fact that preached the gospel and preach peace and love obviously represent the unity of this church regarding details, then i would say that the scientific conference er. it can give direction to some ideas about solving the problem, but since these are people who deal with issues, so tell about research, but they are er, not always those who solve issues, they can give very often advice. and the hierarchy or the faithful parishioners will accept everything, this is always the second question, but i think everyone agrees that it is necessary to preserve unity and try to preserve this unity, because even this howling in unity is already a great sermon to the world about about er faith

christian, it was an interview of natalia churikova with daniil galadzei, a teacher at the pontifical oriental institute in rome, jordan , the end of ukrainian christmas, the traditional consecration of water and caroling took place today. ukrainians celebrate christmas last due to the invasion of russia, which also lives according to the julian calendar, the change of the calendar in ukraine has become a political sign of the times and is happening right now it was christmas in ukraine in the story of omelyan usidlyak and yury dankevich january 6 in europe and america, the end of the first working week of the new year 2023 in ukraine and part of the orthodox world - this is christmas, except for ukraine and russia, on this day it is celebrated,

for example, in jerusalem, georgia, or serbia in the people of lviv from the city council of the town hall traditionally bring grandfather a large christmas decoration woven from ears of corn, and at 12:48 an air alarm begins, the ceremony must be interrupted , children and adults spend it in an underground storage having fun with carols restore the course of grandfather accompanied in particular by stars, members of the ukrainian group of nativity carolers, who carry a wooden structure of a rotating star, symbolizing the star with bethlehem for the gospel, it led the wise men to the newborn jesus six months ago, the ukrainian ministry of culture granted the christmas congress the official status of a good

material and cultural heritage of ukraine, but this is only a regional net, and we plan to write an account card based on the content of ukraine, which is popular in various regions of ukraine and there are no bags in the kyiv region and in the cherkasy region melitopol came to us from the city of rivne very old photos of the 1905 congress from donbas melitopol and most of donbas are under russian occupation president putin calls their inhabitants russians who have always been part of the so -called russian world before for researchers of the ukrainian christmas, the fact of the existence of the christmas star in these regions is important, it means that ukrainian culture is present in the suburbs of lviv, father and daughter are not there for hours they leave their home workshop in order to be on time with their orders, their record is 60 christmas stars in one year, this time

two of them are of particular importance, they went to the front lines of the ukrainian military, in particular, in the donbas, they even sent a video of the holiday that you gave us. thank you very much, christ was born, let's praise him there was a star on the front, one was from matskov, and the other was from hutsul , from matskov, that is, with rivers, hutsul, that is , crosswise, i wanted to cry, like my daughter showed me a photo that they say, look i wanted to cry, i may have cried, i don't know, it's not some kind of entertainment, you know, it's very important for me that people understand that a star is not just some element, some kind of decoration, but a star - this is a symbol described in the holy scriptures and it is important to observe it and pass it down from generation to

generation in a generation, our traditions, because they shape us as a nation , you can make a nail of eight or 12 rays in 8 hours, but it takes several days to prepare the materials , yulia's family started making assemblies trying to restore the old tradition a photo from the album of my great-grandmother yulia, actually everything started with this photo of the village of matskovichi, here are the stars who made a star for christmas on the 24th ray, this star was decorated with eye paper and behind this little german girl, it so happened that we became stars, yulia's neighbor bohdan novak had only three weeks when his family was resettled from the village of mackovichi, now on the territory of poland to the ussr, after the second world war, the borders changed and entire ethnic groups suffered from these changes, but the deadline was two days to gather and be

resettled to unknown places in goods wagons they drove from przemyśl to lviv for two weeks, and it happened that uh, 48 families of us, 178 people settled in dublyany in three years, and the stardom of the native land was revived. machkiv traditions came to life here in dublyany, and they have been going on in this tradition for 75 years thanks to bohdan novak and his family, the tradition of making a star of the zmackovych family has come down to our days. it is this type of star that has received the status of cultural heritage, and the process of making a star combines mathematics , geometry, even the formula 2 pi r, you understand when

calculating, three-dimensional vision, volume is not vision drawing, painting, creative art , so about decorations, construction work, the star has become one of the symbols of ukrainian christmas, however, its dates remain in question due to the difference of 13 days, the discussion, however, when to celebrate christmas and other church holidays according to the old julian calendar, the new gregorian calendar and the new liliana calendar, which is symmetrical to it, continue in ukraine for many years, and although none of the largest ukrainian churches, neither the greek catholic church nor the orthodox church of ukraine, have made an official decision it was during this military christmas that a real breakthrough took place, the believers had their word, everyone thought that in galicia, first of all, everyone would go to the new style, because they were almost used to living here under two styles, so no, most of the orthodox communities began to move to volyn, rivne oblast, zhytomyr oblast,

kyiv oblast, cherkaschyna that is, where, well, if we say so, this question should not exist, people said that we are ready. this is how we see it, and according to various votes, it should not be like the russian world, this christmas according to the new style has simply become such a sign of our time. this year it went so far that it seems to me that even the hierarchs were not quite ready for it. meanwhile, in lviv, they say goodbye to an organized church with a large-scale artistic event. over the past year , hundreds of farewell ceremonies for those who died in the war have been held in this church for the military. carol in hope to say goodbye to the war every day yury dankevich for the voice of america from lviv on this we will say goodbye did you watch the program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america time
