art in a country at war from january 16 on weekdays from monday to friday sunday at 11:10 a.m. on espresso, the war raised its head again in europe , reminding us of 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 events. this is

the most current news from franz 24 in ukrainian on espresso, you are watching the program of the ukrainian voice of america service, time, i am nataliya leonova. i congratulate the possibility of sending fighter jets to ukraine for protection in the war against the russian federation. it will not be removed from the agenda, british prime minister rishi sushun said during a press conference with the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky at the british military base in the south of england, the visit to great britain is the second foreign trip of president zelensky after the start of a full-scale war with russia, combat aircraft for ukraine, wings for freedom with such president zelensky addressed the british parliamentarians with his words. he also thanked london in advance for the powerful british planes . volodymyr zelensky's visit is being followed by our european correspondent bohdan tsyupin. he is joining our studio right now from london. greetings bohdane. so president zelensky is visiting a western european country for the first time since the start of a full-scale war. why right now why was london chosen and what can this visit

change in the course of the war for accuracy it is worth noting that er during the visit on the way to of the united states in december of last year, the ukrainian president visited poland, and of course this is eastern europe, but nevertheless , every foreign official visit of the ukrainian president during the active phase of the russian war in ukraine obviously deserves serious and special attention as regards the visit to great britain, why now? i think it is certain. i think the time has come . i think the visit to the united states showed that the ukrainian president can visit allies, that these visits are necessary to

mobilize support for this visit to the united states. showed that allies and partners of ukraine in response to this increase aid, this helps to spread understanding among society about why ukraine should be helped and so on and so on. well, let's not forget that if we talk about london, great britain is the second largest in the world after the united states states as a donor of aid, primarily of course military aid to ukraine. so it is obvious that today 's visit of the ukrainian president to london is certainly not accidental. i see in your eyes that we think the same as you do, we know that freedom will win, we know that russia will lose and we really know that this victory will change

the world and it will be a change that the world has long needed . after we defeat together, any aggressor, no matter how big , will know what awaits him for an attack on the international order, any aggressor who will try to push the borders with force that will bring destruction and death to other nations who will try to build his dictatorship at the expense of other people's blood, criminal and mismanaged wars from the kremlin. thus, any aggressor will lose in this ura heard the terms of president zelensky in the parliament in this speech. zelensky asked to provide ukraine with combat aircraft . that so far there is no decision to provide ukraine with fighter jets, but at the same time they say that they will respect the decisions of other countries if they decide

to provide ukraine with aircraft, and whether london is ready to lead such an aircraft coalition, yes, the ukrainian president spoke today in london about the wings of freedom, the wings that should help ukraine preserve and choose its freedom, can great britain lead the aircraft coalition, it is obvious that great britain has already taken the first step by announcing a training program for ukrainian pilots, we do not know the details of which planes ukrainian pilots will be trained on, whether it will be about planes in particular, or in general about, for example, theoretical training for the use of aviation in combat conditions, and it may also be about such training. now we hear

different assumptions. that is, elaborate and elaborate, but the only thing we can talk about is that great britain has gone a little different way, and for example, let's note that the british prime minister rishi sunok today, in contrast to which answer, nothing came from the american president joe biden in response to the question will the americans provide ukraine with f16 fighter jets. the american president said no, then we witnessed more cautious statements from the united states. britain speaks out it is a bit more unambiguous and in this matter in particular the british prime minister rishi ruskus emphasized today what is it? i think this is a signal to both ukrainians and western partners and russia

. we take it off the table, that is, britain very clearly emphasizes to russia that russia cannot hope that there will be any weapons in the country, and that russia should not hope for any restrictions. i think this is very important and also the british prime minister emphasized today during, for example, a press conference at a military base in the south of england that it is about long-term aid to ukraine. this is how he said it . agreed to expand to include marines and fighter pilots so that the armed forces of ukraine can protect your country for generations to come we need to provide weapons to ukraine as soon as possible now

but also to strengthen ukraine for the future no it is possible to allow your country to be under threat of attack again. so, today london announced a new package of aid to ukraine , as well as the long-range missiles that kyiv is asking for. i'm sorry, i didn't hear the question . the visit of the ukrainian president to london is the beginning of a very interesting and very important european tour. already now, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, is expected in paris, where he will have an informal meeting with the president of france, as they mentioned

macron and with german chancellor olaf scholz, these are also very important donors of aid for ukraine, both military and economic, as well as diplomatic support , which is very important, emminul macron and olaf scholz , in fact, are the only european leaders who still keep channels open for further negotiations with moscow the ukrainian president is expected in brussels tomorrow, he will speak in the european parliament and also have a meeting within the framework of the european union summit, so we will follow his speeches and his meetings in europe. thank you, bohdan, for your a detailed story and analysis by us on a direct link from london was our kyiv correspondent european correspondent bohdan tsyupan this week the un security council held

a meeting dedicated to ukraine today a briefing was called by russia to discuss the prospects for a peaceful settlement of the crisis around ukraine in the context of increasing the supply of western weapons as key the speakers were the deputy secretary general and the high representative for disarmament and sumatra, as well as british musicians . one of the leaders of the band pink floyd is an activist roger waters was watching the meeting at the un headquarters, my colleague iryna solomka iryna so, the deputy secretary general presented the un assessment of the situation around the weapons, what conclusions did she voice? to russia, she did not name specific countries , but she talked about combat drones and according to open information, it is about iran, and she also talked about a report that testifies to the transfer of conventional weapons, in particular

arket and private military companies, again, she did not name specific names , however, it is obviously about wagner, at the same time, she noted that such a large-scale , i.e., filling the conflict with weapons obviously raises the risks of its escalation, therefore, in order to prevent this, it is necessary so that there was accountability and transparency, and at the same time, she once again reminded and even called on the parties to protect civilians, because according to the data of the un high commissioner for human rights alone, in this conflict, almost 19,000 ukrainians became victims and more than seven thousand ukrainians were killed by the russian federation, which initiated this meeting and opened the speech of the member countries of the security council. there were many statements that the diplomats heard from the representative of the russian federation, but the main message was that the representative of russia constantly tried to essentially present the supply of weapons to ukraine as such

a military business project - industrial complex in the united states and european countries, in particular. he said that according to his data , the shares of several american companies have increased in value quite a bit, in addition, he accused the american company of they use ukraine as a testing ground for their weapons, they got to the nuts and switzerland, in particular, he said that this is, well, that is, the industrial complex, the military-industrial complex of this country last year, that is , it was the most successful for this country , although it is not clear what ukraine has to do with it, because it is still switzerland did not supply ani directly and not through third countries, i.e. did not export weapons to ukraine. about that , the reuters agency recently reported that there are talks about this with these countries and not only that it is switzerland that will refuse this neutrality and allow these deliveries , perhaps that is why vasyl mentioned switzerland, moreover, he suppressed

such a negative e-e in such a light, saying that it is switzerland in such a race for profits that resembles the situation in in the 30s and 40s of the last century, when switzerland supplied weapons to germany, nazi germany and of course the swiss parcel during the speech reacted to these accusations of switzerland cannot be questioned but there can be no neutrality when international law is violated or when the un charter is violated there cannot be lasting peace without prosecution if impunity is not fought it encourages further violations in ukraine and other countries switzerland supports national and international efforts to document and prosecute war crimes crimes, this is not the first time that russia uses the platform of the security council to spread its rhetoric at the highest level, how do

countries react to it, and in particular ukraine, as traditionally it is often heard there during the meeting of the security council, countries called on russia to withdraw troops, propose aggression against this time , of course, the country tried to respond to russia's accusations, in particular, they talked about the fact that the supply of weapons to ukraine is, in fact , help to ukraine to use its right to self-defense, which is guaranteed by the un charter therefore, there cannot be any accusations here , because the e-e of ukraine and the diplomatic one go in different ways, and accordingly, in addition , a representative, for example, a representative of the united states at the un. he gave a response to such a recent statement by nebenzi who said that for russia in essence peace and a peaceful settlement of the conflict is possible only when ukraine ceases to be a threat to russia, to the russian language, to the russian-speaking population

. about the fact that the result and essentially the result of the second world war for the world was that every country has the right to determine its own path, and that is why this right of ukraine is just now being defended by other states and a permanent representative in turn, serhii kislytsia of ukraine at the united nations responded quite sharply to the statement of several speakers, roger eolteras , in particular, one of the leaders of pink floyd, about the fact that aggression and war must stop at any cost , now you can listen to his response to this reacted now allow me to respond to those who call for an end to the war at any cost in the same way at the expense of part of the territory of ukraine, the invitation to lost ukrainian lives and land, the group is not violence , mahatma gandhi said that abstinence from action is

forgiveness only when there is the power to punish it is absurd when it pretends to come from a helpless being let me ask those who make these calls as well as all of you present here are you willing to demonstrate that power to punish if the security council remains with the criminal immovable and cannot punish him let us and all responsible nations do this work for the council and for our common good as stated in the first lines of the un charter to save future generations from the scourge of war zelenskyi iryna with us in direct communication from new york was iryna solomko. on february 7, president joe biden addressed the us congress with an annual speech on the state of affairs in the country. biden mentioned ukraine, called for reforms and bipartisan cooperation, when the democrats called this address rooseveltian. and parliamentarians from the republican party

considered the president's speech about the key themes of the speech and how was it perceived by the congress, we will ask maria ulyanovska this is the most important annual speech of the president of the usa , the attention of millions of americans is focused on her, what exactly did he say in the bathhouse about ukraine and what were the main theses is really this problem, this speech is the most important because it is watched by many more viewers, even everyone who is not interested in politics usually watches this speech and for president biden, whose rating among voters according to the latest polls is less than 50% of those people who support what he is doing, it was a great opportunity to address not only the congress but also the voters and explain to them what his political course is and what his priorities are, so it is not surprising that 80% of the speech was devoted to domestic policy issues, but ukraine was also presented yesterday, in particular, ukraine's parcel to the usa, oksana makarova, she was present among the guests of honor. she sat next to

jill biden in the presidential box, and now i suggest you listen to what exactly president biden said about ukraine . will we defend sovereignty will we defend the rights of people to live free from tyranny will we defend the protection of democracy such protection matters for us because it keeps the peace and warns potential aggressors against threats to our security and prosperity in a year we know the answer that's how we planned to defend and that's what we did together we did what america always does best we are in the lead we united nato and built a global coalition we resisting putin's aggression, we stand with the ukrainian people

tonight, the ambassador of ukraine to the united states joins us again, she represents not only her nation, but also the courage of her people, ambassador, stand up here, please, so that we all can see you we will be with you as long as necessary in the annual speech that took place a few days after the full-scale invasion of russia. biden mentioned ukraine already in the first minutes of this time, the word ukraine sounded already at the end of the address, what does it say and what were the reactions to his words really last year the president of the election election about ukraine almost immediately, it was at the beginning of march

, the full-scale invasion had just begun, and the president had to explain to the congress and the voters what would be political course, how will the united states act in this situation, what will be the support of ukraine, so then the president, you had to spend a lot of time to explain to everyone what the united states will do next this year , the president was very concise and just heard it and yesterday we talked about it with by political scientist serhii kudeleu. i suggest you listen to how he interpreted such a short address regarding ukraine, and it seems to me that this limited time that he preferably devoted to ukraine is partly related to the fact that he is sure that that this bipartisan support exists, that it is strong, that its uh-uh, we can hardly expect any disintegration of this coalition, and therefore this issue is solved for him. that is why he is moving in other uh-uh, the next following

issues a-ah, but on the other hand, it seems to me that yes, he declared that he will stand with ukraine until the end, these statements were made before , this is not a new statement from the united states of america, that is, we have heard these promises many times before, but it is important that he confirmed it again publicly and such bipartisan support congress on aid it was given to ukraine even to the naked eye, even visually, because a lot of politicians came with ukrainian attributes with ukrainian symbols, they were also yellow and blue ties and brooches and ribbons, and it was clear that the congressmen in this way tried to express their support for the issue of ukraine, in addition when president joe biden spoke about ukraine, it was one of the few moments when everyone unanimously applauded standing, there were of course certain exceptions, there were certain congressmen, congressmen who did not support

this, but they were in their minority, for example, congresswoman marjanjari taylor green, who is known for her position on not supporting ukraine, she did not applaud at that time and later wrote on twitter that the us president is very eager to protect the borders of ukraine, but he does not protect the borders of the united states , but again well, i say that these are more exceptions than the rule, because even among the republic you could see crazy support for aid to ukraine, and in particular, even the congressman , er, jim, his cape, talked about the fact that the struggle for democracy in ukraine is a struggle for democracy all over the world. well, also the congress-democrats, who traditionally support ukraine, applauded when the president spoke about helping ukraine, and in particular , congressman jindzhegin wrote later that the united states should support ukraine when it defends its sovereignty and carries the torch of democracy thank you to the whole world maria is with us in direct communication with the chapter house was maria ulyanovska who followed president biden's speech about the state of affairs in

the country to collect in the fields a minus instead of a harvest to suffer financial losses but not to close the business in spite of everything at least 200 american companies continue to work in ukraine in wartime with the support of one of the largest and oldest trade associations of the american business council in washington for almost 30 years it attracts investments to ukraine and continues to do so in wartime with in detail iryna shynkarenko about the danger of russia the american ukrainian business council told the world long before the full-scale war its president morgan williams has the largest collection of paintings about the holodomor in ukraine, which he repeatedly exhibited in washington and other cities and talked about how much evil

the russian authorities hid from the conflict, the first exhibition of holodomor paintings in kyiv in 2000, at a teacher's house, some people from the trade union came and they did not like it, they demanded to remove this exhibition, they said that it's a farce and that it didn't really happen morgan williams , an american entrepreneur without ukrainian roots or family ties, has been collecting these paintings from ukrainian artists for about 6 years for more than 15 years he heads the american ukrainian business council, which is engaged in attracting american business to ukraine and also promotes ukrainian culture in the world, when i first started going to ukraine about 30 years ago, i didn't know much about ukraine, then i got involved in economic development, you learned about its culture and also learned how many cruelties ukraine had to survive the soviet rule of germans and others, and i

became very fond of ukrainian art and culture and fell in love with the people of this country. kuchma came to the capital of the usa to get to know the representatives of american businesses that were entering the young ukrainian market. that's when the idea arose to create an american-ukrainian business council. in 1995, leonid kuchma came to the city. he wanted to meet with some business leaders. there were some companies that already worked in ukraine coca-cola john deere and others they quickly united and created a non-commercial special trade association for ukraine met with mr. kuchma for almost 30 years of work the council cooperated with hundreds of companies from the usa, which invested billions of dollars in the ukrainian economy during the war, its main task was to prevent american companies

from leaving ukraine, we started working on spreading information about how important ukraine is, why it became a target for your aggression, putin, why it is important to support it and protect it as an edefend managed to convince since the beginning of the war, none of the more than 200 american companies, a member of the american-ukrainian business council , has closed down its business in ukraine, the participants have not left ukraine, all of them remain there of course they reformatted their work, some of the employees, especially women with children, work remotely from poland, asters from belgium and other countries, one of the american companies , sigma blazer, has been working on the ukrainian market for more than 10 years, and in recent years has concentrated all its agribusiness in kharkiv oblast, at the beginning of the war , half of its fields were in occupation , about 50% of our lands were seized and

occupied until the incredible operation conducted by the ukrainian military to liberate these lands a few months ago; moreover, in fact all the rest of the territory was close to the front line after the russians farmed the company's lands instead of the harvest there they had to collect mines after the de-occupation of the territory only in one field our workers came and were able to demine more than 1500 individual mines and none of our workers were injured during this time, but this gives an idea of ​​only one field, however, the company plans to invest money in the rest of the land and is not going to give up running an agro business in ukraine , it reformatted the work of about a thousand employees, one of the company's managers jessica blazer, an american with ukrainian roots, regularly flies to kyiv from the usa at the beginning of the war. she founded the profitable organization ukraine-rices and raised several

million dollars for humanitarian aid to ukraine. business is endless. completely imagine and understand that ukrainians have courage and purposefulness, they continue to live their lives and business continues to work in the american-ukrainian business council, they say that among american businesses there is interest in the ukrainian market is now extremely large, they predict that energy and construction will become one of the most promising industries after the war, they have opened ukraine as a new valuable country, which is a country with a courageous and highly educated workforce, so they are looking forward to the victory of ukraine, coming to ukraine, introducing business in ukraine to business, huge interest and already today the american-ukrainian business council is working on the future post-war reconstruction of ukraine iryna shynkarenko oleksiy usyka dmytro savchuk voice of america download the voice of america mobile app
