[000:00:00;00] actually, it may not be enough. so they talked a lot or little about training, and in particular they also mentioned the training of the ukrainian military, which is preparing to use german- made leopard tanks that will be provided by a number of countries. by the way, there is a very interesting circumstance in this regard which is reported by journalists from behind the scenes of meetings in brussels , namely that germany is actually now putting pressure on other countries, western countries that previously promised to provide ukraine with leopards, now it is the germans who emphasize that fulfilled their promises to provide tanks and did not just hand over the tanks to the germans, they emphasize that this should be a very serious program that will include the maintenance of tanks

, providing them with fuel repairs, as well as other other technical maintenance , including ammunition, of course, regarding the aircraft of nato representatives and, in particular, the american defense secretary lloyd austin has been asked about the process several times and here is one of his answers perhaps one of the broadest today i have no announcements regarding aircraft we are going to continue to work with ukraine to meet their most pressing needs again they are planning an offensive in the spring and that's only a few weeks away so we have a lot to do so if you think about the number of systems we're going to buy bradley strikers m113 artillery and the list goes on and on it's a monumental task to bring all these systems together to train the military on these platforms to make sure we have the support for all these systems to bring them into combat that was

the main topic of our conversation today bohdana, another priority for ukraine now is the anti-aircraft system, as allies and partners are going to destroy ukraine's capabilities to protect its own skies. well , actually, we don't have any big new announcements or details right now, except maybe that the joint supply to ukraine of a modern smt system has been confirmed. from france and italy. but we knew about this a little earlier, about what these countries were actually going to do in brussels. we heard that the allies admit that ukraine does not yet have enough anti-missile systems and

of anti-aircraft defense , it is obvious that with a front line that stretches for more than 1,000 km and a large area where russia is trying to hit targets deep in ukrainian territory, this problem will continue to be large of the american secretary of defense today in brussels. currently, we are trying to deliver an air defense system to ukraine as soon as possible and then integrate this capability so that we have a truly comprehensive anti-aircraft capability and missile defense and i would like to add that ukraine has done an incredible job of intercepting many of the missiles that russia has launched during recent attacks . as you know , ukraine's anti-aircraft defense was damn effective. this is how loyd's estimate is, here is bohdan's price, and what

estimates and forecasts regarding the development of the war in the coming week are shared by western officials what do they say about the possibility of possible new threats from russia as well ? - in the ukrainian war, there is a lot of talk about offensives, and the old ones say that ukraine is preparing for a counter -offensive to advance in order to liberate its territories, in particular, in the south-east of ukraine , it is said that russia is trying to advance, and in particular, again yesterday from gens kanato, we heard that such an offensive or attempted offensive or offensive operations are already taking place , and journalists are asking such official officials about this. perhaps hoping for the disclosure

of some intelligence data, and today the american general milli eh tried to explain, obviously not revealing everything that is possible do the military know that the intelligence knows everything possible, he tried to quell such an impression a little bit or apprehensions that well, for example, i saw in western newspapers that somewhere there near the borders of ukraine the accumulated aviation is possible, uh, a new attack on kyiv is possible, general mili spoke calmly about this today, but he did not offer to relax, here are his words, go , oh, ask, nothing freddie, there is always a potential threat, obviously there are air threats, the threat of a missile attack, kyiv is the capital and he was important target at the beginning of the war, so i would never rule out the possibility of russia attacking kyiv, but now we do not see

any strong indicators or warnings , it seems that we have covered the topic of ramshan today, i also want to ask you about the event that we will follow to watch tomorrow is a meeting of the ministers of defense of nato and also in europe. and what are the main expectations from this meeting , what will it focus on? actually, our listeners should keep in mind that these meetings are taking place, well, in fact, at the same time, in parallel , in one place in brussels, that is, yes, yes called rammstein , as they like to say, that is, the contact group on the defense of ukraine met today in brussels in the morning. it was a rather short meeting, and then immediately after lunch, the actual meeting of the council of defense ministers of nato began with the participation of the ukrainian of minister oleksiy reznikov, who was at the meeting of the contact group and at and was

a guest at the meeting of nato ministers also tomorrow. we will monitor the steps of joining the north atlantic alliance and this, bohdana. thank you very much for your information, for your inclusion with us. on leopard-2 tanks in germany and poland, training continues at bases in a german monastery and a polish screw-thorn training takes place according to an accelerated program , according to expectations, ukrainians will be able to use leopard tanks in combat about a month later , myroslava gongadze observed the training of ukrainian tankers in poland at this base with a video camera the 10th armored cavalry brigade of poland and the battle group of the us armored cavalry are stationed here. since 2002

, polish military personnel have been trained here using leopard tanks, two a4s, before the war, the ukrainian military came here for nato training, now canadian, norwegian and polish instructors work side by side with ukrainian servicemen with combat experience, preparing them to use these modern vehicles, the minister of defense of poland during a visit to the base with the president dudoy stated that the canadian tanks with instructors are already at the base and they immediately started training the ukrainians. more than 100 ukrainian servicemen are learning to operate and maintain the leopard-2 due to lack of time. intensive training lasts up to 10 hours a day, including weekends, with condensed training. the training is very short in terms of time. and time is the element that is the biggest problem for us . the ukrainian military is experienced. they came here straight from the front line from the front. instead of

the usual three months, the ukrainians will be ready to use these tanks on on the battlefield a little more than a month later, the commander of the ukrainian unit, 57-year-old major vadym khodak from dnipro, says that he cannot yet assess the capabilities of the tank because they have only just begun training, but the soldiers already liked the car. my soldiers have combat experience. they don’t come from the street. they have been fighting on tanks on ours for some time, and therefore it is much easier for them to learn this tank. he noted that the leopards will be a great help to the ukrainian army and will have a real effect. on the battlefield, the first delivery of 14 combat-ready tanks is planned already next month , leopard-2 tanks are considered a vital modern military machine that will strengthen

kyiv's forces, especially in the face of a possible new attack moscow, germany and its european partners plan to send two leopard-2 tank battalions to ukraine. president of poland andrzej duda, who visited the ukrainian military and got acquainted with the exercises, emphasized the role of poland in supporting ukraine . ukrainians protect us all . the face of russian imperialism from our history, our ukrainian neighbors protect us and we thank them for that, he noted that poland is trying to help in this struggle to ukraine suffered as few losses as possible, and these tanks will help the ukrainians to win there faster. he called on western countries and their allies to send more military equipment

to ukraine in the coming weeks. american lawmakers from the democratic and republican parties , according to senator menendez and congressman lawler, the country needs to provide all the necessary weapons right now, they emphasized if you don't stop putin, he will go further and even a partial success of russia will become a green light for other dictators and legislators talked to kateryna lisonova . we are helping ukraine to defend itself we are helping it to win and victory obviously requires certain offensive capabilities i want the united states and the west to determine what they want victory for ukraine not only its capabilities to defend ourselves everything we did for ukraine putin called escalation putin will do everything possible to intimidate the west and the united states

to threaten that if we do not set the goal of the victory of ukraine, we will betray the principle of international law that it is not possible to seize the territory of other states by force because if putin will be able to capture donbass or something beyond its borders, then this will be a signal to other dictators and authoritarian regimes that it is now allowed , just put pressure on the western countries for a long time and eventually they will be exhausted and you can to seize the territory of other countries, and i am afraid that if vladimir putin succeeds in seizing full control over ukraine, other former soviet countries will be in danger, he will not stop at ukraine, he will very quickly become active in moldova and other parts of eastern europe, so i believe that on many levels it is necessary that the united states and our allies continued to support ukraine and continued to ensure that they have the resources and weapons necessary to fight russia every minute is lost

now is a moment that we cannot get back, so i believe that the president of the ministry of defense together with our allies should take quick measures and provide ukraine with the necessary support, if this includes fighter jets, we should definitely consider it as well. meanwhile, a group of ukrainian prosecutors and police officers began training in paris from investigation of war crimes , the course was organized by the french embassy in ukraine and the french national school of judges . it is expected that 18 ukrainian law enforcement officers will receive the training recently the attorney general of germany, peter frank, said that german investigators had gathered hundreds of evidence of russian war crimes in ukraine. he added that he saw the need for a trial at the international level. i would like to remind you that ukraine has repeatedly called on the world community to

create a special international tribunal . more than half of ukrainian teachers complain of emotional burnout, and more than 70% students show signs of cognitive stress , including irritability and the inability to concentrate, these are the results of the study published by the go-global educational foundation at the moment fantasia conducts psychological training for educators and develops a number of projects to reduce the impact of war on the mental health of teachers and students. global cooperates with voice of america to help ukrainians learn english better . research on the long-term consequences of the war and its impact on education , the results of a survey of teachers and schoolchildren

showed how difficult it is for them now, in fact , tell us about the problems you heard about, maybe which is not much talked about now uh actually research because 75% of children show signs of cognitive stress ah more than 50% of teachers say that they are in a state of mental ah and professional burnout but if you ask them about your colleagues about the state of our colleagues, then it’s all turn to 86 because teachers, they too. we have all supermen, but it is very important to note that i think that our audience understands that the teachers are from quarantine, which was the most difficult for them. yes, and where did they all practice online training moved because we stored it in the basement and then they got out of there in order to continue to teach children and inspire children under

the sirens and under the bombs all the light and understanding that their different and close ones are in the armed forces and protect ukraine at this moment the children manifest themselves the signs are, well, that is, what are these stress, it’s fatigue, it’s being registered, it’s unsafe to consult on education. hmm, but on the other hand, children have become, well, fanatics at the bottom and volunteers. as you already mentioned, teachers should become a support for children. it is necessary to create programs for psychological support for teachers themselves, and especially paying attention to what i think it is necessary to eradicate this stigma around mental health, so teachers are defined as the greatest need, the greatest need , so that they can receive methods for working with children with themselves on psychological health i ah and methodical practices, you are absolutely correct in that, unfortunately for ukrainians, it ’s still not used to going to

a psychologist, for us, going to a psychologist is the same as the word psycho. accordingly, this is one of the biggest and biggest national problems, among the biggest challengers, thanks to which ukraine is already facing not only after our victory, it is already and we need to work already, i know that a large information campaign is being prepared at the state level in order to talk about the mental health of ukrainians. and in parallel with that in each field it is necessary to build methodological practices and work with this accordingly . the main reason is that there are actually safe environments left in ukraine and only relatively protected ones, and we need to be able to work with that. and we understand that the work of working with psychological trauma will end immediately after our victory, so that

you work on it with olena zelenska we cooperate with fund e we are waiting for the company that they are developing e-e and we will support it as much as possible and we will also join those examples that you are in them , they are actually such big umbrellas , the compass brand is created and they live these topics everyone works on the ground where we can work, we have already started to do it through our trainings in psychological design, methodological help has already come to several thousand teachers, and that is why we are working, we are launching pilot projects on working with school psychologists and we are actually piloting these we will then be able to scale up in ukraine right now, hmm, in fact, there are those teachers who went through our e-e trainings and they were able to influence there for a few days more girls and children, and first you need to

help yourself, although they do not know about it but all these methods are such that they can use them themselves, as you know, first put a mask on yourself, then also the child, i had a one-time talk about gogo during time a, which focused on projects and learning english for children, such as calcam programs, and recently you announced about a new project for teachers in partnership with voice of america. and tell us how this idea was born . when we first started english in 2016, we looked at all the tools available to ukrainians to learn the language and here america is very clear, there is a whole set of tools for teachers and children of a wide audience learning english, and we were establishing this cooperation, this cooperation, we worked in some format or another. that is, we will make it available for ukrainians, let us now it was possible now, after the start of the war, what

to start working with teachers when you are a special someone in america who developed this material, uh , they teach it for our teachers, there is actually everything from a full-fledged program of the year yes to of additional interactive tools that teachers can immediately start using, we remind teachers that they are tired and demotivated yes, it is difficult for them, we need to help them inspire them, give them additional tools, opportunities to continue working online, that is why such programs and the provision of such completely practical tools of yours with bright teachers with methodologists and you just entered on plowing, therefore, i think we will ask for continuation and continuation and continuation of the project, everything was an interview with the head of the management of the global foundation - oleksandr nechyporenko and we continue the issue with other topics. last year, ukraine registered the largest number of marriages in the last seven years. from march to december, more than

198,000 couples got married, which is 7.5 thousand more than in 2021. at the front, however, the couple kept their love in spite of the difficult challenges of wartime , the story of love during the war will be told to the child. board games together decorate the christmas tree this is the life that serhiy and yulia dreamed of before the war when they planned to get married currently it is not a reality but a filming process for a social video hi i'm serhiy and this is yulia in it a short story about the long journey that serhiy has been on for the past seven months from from a serious injury to complex prosthetics , today is the day for which we have been waiting for many months, now serhiy is helping to raise funds for the lviv rehabilitation center an broken or nezlamni, and then on the battlefield in the luhansk region

fulfilling the order, he ran out of the embankment under fire to report wounded comrades and call medics and didn't catch up to me, they just threw me over, i was lying down, i immediately saw that my right arm was gone, it just hung on my face, i tried to scream, i 300, i started to suffocate somewhere at once p' on the 1st or 6th i realized that i have problems with my lungs, i probably have a pneumothorax, my lungs squeeze my heart and my heart stops . it was on that day that they were supposed to celebrate the anniversary of meeting yulia, there were talks about marriage even before the injury. that is, we wanted to. well, for example as he later told me that he already wanted to take a vacation on may 29, but also took his assigned task because may 29 was our anniversary. well, he wanted to make a proposal on may 29. serhiy tried to squeeze the artery and stop the bleeding. he

was saved by a lucky coincidence. i knew that i will die because i knew that well, there are no guys at my position who will help me there, all three hundred of them cannot walk to the next position 250 m, if you count like that, you can just lie down and relax, lie down and rest, i was just waiting when i fell asleep that the shock began to pass and the pain began to appear very strongly, here for a while a car arrived, a military serviceman brought a medic to our position, he just flew past me, he didn't see me because half of the body was lying in the bites, half of the body on the road, legs there, he threw the medic out there and turned around. i was driving back, i understood that he wouldn't see me. i just raised my leg and saw that the blood flowed like that, but i raised my leg as high as possible. when i was lying down, he stopped immediately . serhiy kostyuchenko is only 23, but he is a professional

military man from korosten who is passionate about the army because of the story about the cyborg defenders of the donetsk airport for 15 years, probably until the 20th, until i joined the army and i watched almost all the videos that existed about the ato in donetsk and back in the year 14, here i am exactly like this, i went, i believe that i will also be a super soldier there, i served with a guy who was there, you can say that he was my hero. here i am, i met the one i wanted and he taught me a lot julia met serhiy the unusual in a computer game they played together online almost three years. one day they decided to meet. serhiy was already serving in the army and yulia boldly left kharkiv, the ozone layer of the ato, to the military unit in kramatorsk. when the war began in 14th year, well, it was 13 years ago, and there was no such fear, you know.

the only thing that was scary for me was crossing the border of the donetsk region, it was scary because i didn't know if they would turn me around at the checkpoint or let me through because i'm not from the donetsk region well, that is, we couldn't turn around and say goodbye in may after sergey was seriously injured. yulia immediately decided to come to him in the hospital and not leave a single step. his friend's girlfriend wrote to me in the morning. i learned from her about the amputation of his right hand. and the next day , sergey already called me. come yourself. hello. and he is silent. i say, how are you? he says. well, how do i understand that he is afraid to just tell me about the injury? he didn't know what i knew. i doubted that i would need her . she would be like that. when she arrived, she was with me every day from the very morning. as soon as it was possible to get to

i had to get there by 8-9 o'clock, until everyone was kicked out for the lord, we wanted to get married after the war, i said yes, let's get married now, well, i haven't had a proposal since then, yulia wears a wedding ring on her left hand, like serhiy when he got bionic prosthesis we asked them for this symbolic gesture, something that was impossible to do in the hospital after being injured in the fight for their love, they have already won this war . and i have a daily newspaper yuriy dankevich for the vote of america from lviv. and you, the mobile application of the voice of america, the application allows automatically bypass blocking thanks to the built-in vpn service, read the news, watch informative programs and videos, and also listen to podcasts in ukrainian by the voice of america service, and that's it, we'll say goodbye, also join our daily briefings at 5 p.m. kyiv
