raised its head again in europe, reminding about the darkest hours of our history. franz 24 constantly covers events in ukraine, our team on the ground and in the studio will inform you about the dynamics of the event and this is the most relevant from franz 24 in ukrainian on espresso . i will watch the voice of america program in ukrainian, time. nataliya leonova congratulations, president biden explained his decision not to provide ukraine with f16 fighters, we should leave them here, this is a completely different situation , he answered the journalist's question about the reasons for refusing to deliver f16 to ukraine about this

the press service of the white house reports. at the same time, the united states will continue to respect the decisions of others and will respect the decisions of other countries to provide fighter jets to kyiv. this was stated the day before by the coordinator of strategic communication of the us national security council, john kerby, whether we should expect the delivery of fighter jets from the united states in the near future and what are the expectations from the next meeting of the contact groups for the defense of ukraine in the rammstein format, my colleague tetyana asked in an interview with alex binman , the former director of european affairs of the us national security council. i think that there is a possible plan try to provide drones first, i think. first it will be drones because it is much easier to control drones, and then f16 because they have a lot of requirements, but in the end it will come to that, however, we are taking time, we had to start training ukrainian pilots and mechanics six months ago so that we could provide planes already now, and six months have already passed. even if this

decision is made during the next contact group, six months will pass before these planes arrive and can fly in the sky over ukraine. but i i think we will achieve this. whom expect from the next meeting of the contact group of the interdiction of ukraine, which will be held on february 14, the next thing that, in my opinion, should be actively discussed are drones, including tactical drones, which are much more effective than drones and have three times the range, so i would like to see reaper drones that can fly hundreds and hundreds of kilometers and carry quite a few bob that they can drop i would like the air force to be part of that conversation i would like to see frankly a much more thoughtful conversation around logistics because

it is impossible to wage war and repair equipment at a distance of 800 km from the front line there, it is the fault of him, see in our next broadcasts to provide military aid to the ukrainians , the estonian minister of defense hano-pepko stated this in an interview with the voice of america, the minister said that the ukrainians have a desire to liberate their land and they need equipment and equipment from their partners in order to oppose them to the great resources that russia has. voice of america correspondent karla bab spoke with the hanno-pector in estonia, where this month are taking place international military maneuvers, many people in nato, when they think about russia, think that the threat is very far away or that the war in ukraine is far away, but this is not the place to throw out this pattern, we cannot choose our neighbors russia our neighbors last year in madrid nato determined that the only threat comes from russia so russia

is an existential threat and if we look at history 100 years ago we won our independence from russia but in the last 15 years russia attacked georgia 2008-2014 crimea in 2022 intensified the war in ukraine we we see that russia has not given up on conquest. so we have to be ready, that's why we are not here alone , but with allies. if we do not take intelligence data and look only at open sources

, we see that they are sending additional units of mobilized military to ukraine . so now they have maybe three hundred thousand in ukraine, we see that they brought a lot of new equipment to ukraine putin uses the last card from his commanders by appointing general gerasimov to lead the war in ukraine, this means that gerasimov can use all the resources of the russian army, the aviation fleet, this all shows that he is preparing, the question is not whether it will happen , but also when, uh, the date vin, look at koshin and foreignum, do you think the ukrainians are ready for estonia in the country, or is there a lot of this in order to repel this attack

of that family, they need more. what is enough for them ? i know that their motivation is 200%. the question is not in this, they understand very well that they are fighting for their people and their country, they also understand that they are fighting for a free world in which they live by laws. and they need more equipment and resources, because even if russia lost 2,000 tanks, it still has thousands of tanks in reserves that can send to ukraine, it still has missiles, which means that the ukrainians need all the help we can provide, if we combine the capabilities of britain, the eu and the usa, their economy together reaches 43,000. estonia provided 1%, and if others do so, it will be about 400 billion. and we provided 10 times less. so this shows that when all the allies

unite, there is an opportunity to help ukraine even more. you gave ukraine all your 155-mm howitzers. why does ukraine need more power? ukraine also bought new k9 equipment - these are also self-propelled 155-mm howitzers, which are more powerful. we also have allies here, the british are here with n-270 missile launchers, there are americans with hymars, so we have enough firepower. we have also purchased ammunition, but we well understand that each

a russian tank destroyed in ukraine means fewer tanks on our borders, they say that it is becoming too expensive, and ukraine is a member of the alliance. our countries then we have no other choice but to support ukraine imaginary volodar chois tu as-2 pics general ben here the former commander of the forces between the us in europe said a few weeks ago that in his opinion if nato continued to provide ukraine with resources at this level , it would be able to liberate crimea by august, this is his prediction, you are as optimistic as he is, it depends on the resources that we can provide to ukraine, again, i really believe that the ukrainians can do it and have soldiers

now the question is whether they will also have enough equipment, it all depends on this, it is impossible to simply run into the crimea on foot. what do you think about the scope and also about the range of attacks that the usa has not yet provided tanks , they have been waiting for a long time, i only hope that we are not we are late because people need to be trained, experience is needed and only then they can be used in operations tanks cannot be used one at a time, here and there, they have to be used structurally or at the battalion or brigade level. therefore, they must be integral units, so i hope that we will be able to train ukrainians as soon as possible. as for missile attacks and others, this should be decided by the countries that have those weapons. we understand that one of the obstacles is the issue of

preventing them from reaching russia or hitting russian territory, but we know that the ukrainians have said hundreds of times that they have no intention of invading russian territory, they only want to liberate their lands, so this is the case. the prosecutor general's office of ukraine has documented 65,000 war crimes committed by russian forces during the 11 months of the full-scale war with russia. this number is increasing every day. during his visit to washington, the prosecutor general of ukraine met with by representatives of the state department and u.s. senators and called on them to support the idea of ​​creating a special international tribunal to investigate

the crime of russian aggression as ukraine and the international community is evaluating the possibility of creating a special international tribunal, oleksiy kovalenko learned that the war crimes in russia committed in ukraine are being investigated in ukrainian and international courts, however , there is still no mechanism within which russia can be held accountable for the crime of aggression against ukraine, the ukrainian authorities have repeatedly called on the international community to support the creation of a special international tribunal , the prosecutor general of ukraine stressed the importance of such magnificence the time of the visit to washington point is undoubtedly the starting point in our search for justice and responsibility is the investigation and prosecution of the highest international crime of the crime of aggression ukraine calls for the creation of a special tribunal to investigate the crime of aggression as the most realistic and effective way of prosecution ukraine's call has received significant support from the european union council of europe and individual states, which makes the prospect of creating a special tribunal

real, the prosecutor general of ukraine explains why a new mechanism for bringing russia to justice is needed. the national legal system of ukraine procedurally cannot deal with the law against the top leadership of another country. the jurisdiction of the international criminal court is also limited, and the involvement of un mechanisms is impossible due to russia’s membership in the security council of the us state department . the international community is emphasizing that it is considering different formats for creation of the tribunal , the international community, in my opinion, is still debating what form this international tribunal will take, however, there is one thing about which managed to reach a significant degree of consensus is the creation of an intermediate prosecutor's office that would be located in the hague and work together with ukrainian prosecutors and international experts from various disciplines in order to collect information that will later be used to indict the crime of aggression and also discovered by the same leadership bears the greatest responsibility for the planning and

implementation of tough intervention in ukraine on the importance of the well-known prosecutor's office as a step on the way to creating an international the tribunal was also emphasized by former ambassador for global criminal justice clint williams, now he coordinates the advisory group on war crimes created by the united states of great britain and the european union to help ukraine in the investigation and prosecution of war crimes committed during the russian invasion, more unity is emerging in of course, there are many legal obstacles to this issue, there are practical challenges in the issue of creating a new international tribunal, there was a lot of skepticism that something could be done about it do, but i think that with the development of these discussions, when people have studied different options, one of them is the creation of an intermediate prosecutor's office , which would eventually pave the way for the creation of a tribunal, we are working on progress

in this matter, the issue has not yet been resolved, but there is progress in the state department the dates when the united states will announce the official position on the creation of a special international tribunal, however , emphasize the conclusion on the new legal mechanism may be announced before the anniversary of the beginning of russia's full-scale war i know that a lot of attention is paid to the anniversary of russia's re-invasion of ukraine on february 24, we are working hard internally with our partners in europe and, of course, with our ukrainian colleagues to reach a consensus on what it could look like in the meantime president of the european commission on the eve of the ukraine summit the eu in kyiv announced the creation of an international center for prosecuting the crime of aggression in ukraine , the center will coordinate the collection of evidence of russian war crimes and will be part of a joint

investigative team with the support of eurojust was intarts forts outes crimes russia must be held accountable in court for its crimes prosecutors from ukraine and the european union are already working together we are collecting evidence and as a first step i am happy to announce that an international center for prosecuting the crime of aggression will be established in gaza ukraine in addition to working with international partners on new legal mechanisms that will help bring russia to justice for crimes of aggression, the united states has made changes to its own legislation that allow to prosecute russian war criminals in the usa according to the previous statute we could only prosecute war crimes if the victims or the perpetrator were american citizens, so russian war crimes against ukrainian civilians included crimes against children, women and prisoners of war none of this could be prosecuted in american courts this loophole finally closed, thanks to the work of the party team

, including the senator, the plane is a fool , the initiator of changes, the senator of democracies, durbin emphasizes that the new changes in the legislation are a signal to anyone in the world who commits war crimes and even if it seems that if you are a war criminal, do not expect to find safe haven in the united states, we will prosecute you for war crimes that you have committed, even if they were not committed on the territory of the united states states, but they have nothing to do with american citizens. this is, i hope, a clear message not only to the russians who committed war crimes in ukraine, but also to anyone in the world. this is a significant step not only in relation to the war in ukraine, but also for the united states in as a whole, the countries of the west are unanimous in the issue of the need to bring russia and russian war criminals to justice, to create mechanisms for this question of time and the choice of a specific model and tools of justice oleksiy kovalenko

biden is likely to talk about will be the economy, social expenses and the russian war in ukraine ukraine's parcel to the usa oksana markarova will be one of the guests of honor during the president's speech last year, biden's speech was delivered only a few days after russia's invasion of ukraine and was focused on explaining the us response, what to expect from this year's speech, see the story dmytro kulchynskyi's address this year is an opportunity for president joe biden to outline his priorities before both houses of congress, the composition of which was significantly updated after last year's elections a few days before the speeches of the press secretary of the white house, karin john keir, reminded that the speech is often reworked until the last moment, however , she says that some topics will definitely be present , this is the significant economic progress that we see under his leadership, his vision, according to which the economy should be built from the bottom up and have a strong middle, is historic

pieces of legislation passed in the past two years that create good-paying jobs for the middle class and provide real results for the people according to a historian jeremy suri, this speech in which the president lays out his political priorities rarely dispenses with non-partisan politics, party politics matters for public policy , it is an annual opportunity for the president to set the agenda, formulate public pressure in a way that benefits him and his party, but also hopefully irons out his political goals in addition to that suri noted that he expects that biden will again talk about the soul of the nation and what he considers threats to democracy from the far right, he will also talk about the war in russia against ukraine, which was a year ago when it just started in march 2022, then biden spoke about the need for action to help the nation repel the russian invasion, then biden also presented his legislative priorities , new laws on abortion, gun control

and police reform, but this time, the control of the opposition republican party over the house representatives challenges the legislative initiatives of the president's administration, the new speaker of the house of representatives , kevin mccarthy, who will sit behind the president during the speech, does not agree with indifferent to how to spend taxpayers' money, the republicans are trying to significantly reduce government spending , as they say, he made it clear. even if he sits behind biden during the speech, if he is sick, shows his displeasure, looks irritated, then it will look like he is an extremist, and if he will appear too complacent open to interaction with president biden then of course he will alienate the far-right in his

party a small group in the party and in the house of representatives who demand that he speak against the president this mixture of state and party politics pomposity and bright personalities will be demonstrated during biden's speech in tuesday evening, dmytro kolchynskyi, anita pauvel, voice of america . the voice of america ukrainian service will broadcast the speech at 9:00 p.m. washington, respectively, at three o'clock in the morning kyiv so join our broadcast, the leaders of the democrats and republicans in the congress talked about their expectations from today's speech by president sharjah biden about the state of affairs in the country, so the republicans criticize biden for inflation and the migration crisis on the southern border , and the opposition claims that the american leaders did not eliminate the chinese observation post in a timely manner balloon instead, according to the democrats, the administration has moved forward in the issues of the infrastructure
