, and this is all that was left of his father's my house has already been called by neighbors and this is my house. congratulations on the broadcast of the ukrainian voice of america program, time, and i am its host , ostap yarysh. the cynical terror of russia must be stopped , and those involved in the missile attacks should be punished. this is how the eu reacted to the new missile attacks on ukraine, according to the statement made by the spokesman. peter the high representative of the european union , as of the night of february 16, russia fired 36 missiles at ukraine, the air defense forces destroyed 16 of them, meanwhile , the annual security meeting will be held in munich already this week the conference, a large part of which, according to expectations, will be devoted to ukraine, the usa will be represented at the event by vice president kamalagari from the us secretary of state anthony blinken

, as well as a group of american legislators. conference vice-president kalagaris , what she is expected to talk about with her colleagues ostapa is that ukraine is in the absolute center of attention of this munich security conference, at least everything official can be seen booklet of the munich conference, you can see that it depicts the center of kyiv and indeed we hear that each of the leaders who are now arriving here in munich plans to talk about ukraine and support ukraine, and the harris camera is absolutely not an exception, we know that last year in kanologaris she spoke with glass of the munich regional conference just a few days before russia went on a full-scale invasion and then alazari was found there warning russia that such cruel aggressive actions against russia will wait for the creative consequences that the west is ahead of russia with sanctions that the west will in general create global security, a global democratic coalition in order to bring russia

to justice, of course, this year, as tamala harry herself said with literally so recently she said that ukrainians prove time and time again that whatever -what challenge they are facing and that is why they said the main thing that ukraine's allies can do is to support ukraine as much as it will be necessary, in what way this is a very important question and in particular a high-ranking official of the running house told us that in fact one of the main goals of the legars here in munich is to coordinate efforts with the allies. what will you see? what is the next path and what are the next steps to support ukraine? after the press conference , he said: if the west thinks that russia is going to go on a full-scale invasion, why don't you implement it right now? and this is a question

that remained unanswered let's see if this time at this conference, based on the results of this conference, there will be any announcements regarding the further, more specific, further plan for supporting ukraine and resisting this russian aggression . why do american legislators emphasize before their visit to munich actually ostapa this is very interesting because you are really the largest congressional contras delegation in history and as nancy said poles are former speakers of the house of representatives, their goal at this extremely important critical moment in the course of the war is not only to support ukraine, not only to demonstrate readiness to help ukraine in the crisis as much as necessary, but also to demonstrate that the west and transplasmic unity remains strong and that the west remains united precisely therefore, this time a bipartisan, large, bipartisan group of congressmen is arriving in washington. there are more than 1,000 people, but it is

also important to note that the leader of the congressmen is the leader of the republicans in the senate, speaking today in the senate actually said that it will be very important to demonstrate the readiness to help ukraine and also have a plan for potential new challenges, but he also said that the united states takes on a very big responsibility, they are the leader of this fight against autocratic regimes. but he would like to say that the european countries and nato countries have chosen to participate more in these efforts, so let's see if you, having combined the message, actually works at the conference yulia , what is the importance and importance of the munich conference and when we we are talking about some possible security challenges, especially now at the time of the full-scale russian aggression of ostap, usually the munich security conference is also called

such a security davos because since 1963, when it was founded and the main goal was this. of all the countries of the world , which were not always on a common language in order to discuss the biggest challenges and possibly find some ways for understanding. we even remember that the exodus of your time often there could be such slaves there were representatives of russia, in particular the minister of foreign affairs of russia sergey lavrov and the russian president about vladimir putin, but later, of course, due to russian aggression, access to this conference was closed for russia in the same way as it was closed for the iranian regime. now what they say is the most important thing is to actually demonstrate that we are really talking about a global democratic coalition that believes that it is impossible to violate international norms on which the post-war world is built because, in principle , all countries, especially european countries, have benefited from of how the world settled after the second world war and therefore in these countries this

global coalition wants to preserve this important world order, but this year we also hear that they will also pay a lot of attention to the so-called global south and the countries of africa, latin america, countries of asia in order for this global democratic kovalivka to grow and in order for such taxis to be used by the kremlin now in order to turn such african or latin american countries to its side, so that this tactic does not work, perhaps not much attention was previously shared with this region, but now they believe that it is also important, in particular, it is important from the point of view of the challenges facing the world with russian full -scale aggression, of course yuli, we will live everything carefully and look forward to hearing more from you tomorrow in our program thank you for your work see you soon and we will move on to other topics of our program, then

we will talk about the situation in moldova, on thursday , the moldovan parliament approved a new government headed by prime minister dorin rechchynam who has experience in peace politics, this happened after the president of the country, sanda, publicly exposed moscow's plans to carry out a coup d'état in chisinau , that is, information was passed on to the moldovan authorities by ukraine , however, how big a threat russia now poses to moldova, andrii hetman will tell you , the new president announced a hybrid attack on russia on monday has sandu thinking about the probable plan of a coup d'état organized by russia in the plan of involving saboteurs with military training dressed in civilian clothes who will resort to force actions will attack state buildings and take hostages by organizing violent actions disguised as protests of the so-called opposition, the change of power in kishenev is being pursued, the plan also provides for the use of persons abroad for violent actions, for example, the materials contain

instructions on the rules of entry into the republic of moldova for citizens of the russian federation of the republic of belarus serbia and montenegro received a statement on monday . football fans from serbia, who were allegedly traveling to moldova, were not allowed to enter moldova on tuesday. the cargo of the local team, the deputy from the party of the president and moldova acts solidarity andrian keptunar said that there were saboteurs among them, the moldovan border guards reported that the fans could not justify their reason for traveling the next day , montenegrin boxers were not allowed into moldova, on tuesday , moldova closed its airspace for several hours, official explanations - chisinau did not name at the same time the air force of neighboring romania rose to intercept potentially dangerous targets about the kremlin's threatening plan

the president of ukraine , volodymyr zelenskyi, was the first to inform the summit in brussels. recently, i spoke with the president of moldova. is going to break moldova, break the democratic order of this country and establish its control over it president sandu replaced the prime minister as the head of the government she proposed a politician from the power background of dori narechena, who previously worked as the secretary of the security council and sando's security adviser during the second world war, we are exposed to the greatest risk of provocations. therefore, we need to consolidate the security sector in such a way that all people feel safe. president sando responds not only to external threats, but also to internal ones in moldova, dissatisfaction with the rise in energy prices is growing, with which

the kremlin uses oil, people are and happy bicolor, people are beginning to blame the existing government for high prices, so instead of in order to blame putin, they fucking pretend that the government is to blame for such high prices for gas and electricity, which is absolutely absurd, we can have the best government in the world, but it will not be able to lower prices . look, putin is blackmailing the whole of europe . president kasand said domestically , the kremlin seeks to use pro-russian forces in particular, the party behind these actions is the overthrow of the constitutional system, the change of legal power in chisinau to an illegal one, which would put our country at the service of russia in the implementation of the plan, the authors rely on some internal forces, but mainly on criminal groups such as the formation of shor on some veterans of former law enforcement officers, experts explain how pro-russian

politicians tried to organize protests , they mainly rely on poor elderly people, those who suffer the most from poverty, such high prices, we got an excellent investigation by journalists edition of degardie, they got into the ranks of the organizers and filmed how they offered people 20 euros each to convince them to go out on the streets, russia continues keep the energy noose around moldova's neck. gazprom blackmailed chisinau this fall by cutting off gas supplies, just as it once pressured ukraine, so kyiv and chisinau are acting together to counter the kremlin 's threat. it was the only right step on volodymyr zelenskyi's part to convey information to the moldovan leadership about russia's desire to destabilize the situation in this european state in ukraine's neighbor. why, because

ukraine is fighting in this way for its own security, it is no secret that destabilizing the ukrainian south, odesa, and mykolaiv oblast is for russia , one of the priorities is the destabilizing factor of movements . the president really says what could happen if the pro-russian parties won, the hand of moldova could be used by russia in its war against ukraine. behavior the european union is aware of the challenges faced by the moldovan authorities match we know the enormous russian pressure

moldova is under, which also faces russian aggression, which is becoming stronger every day, the peace enterprise of moldova, meanwhile, fixes a russian missile over its territory that moscow launches at targets in ukraine, in chisinau they understand that ukraine's victory will open the way to solving the problem of transnistria russian missss cases when russian missiles entered the airspace of moldova and it really poses a threat to the security of moldova . the fact is that moldova does not have an air defense system, so the majority is for the courage of the ukrainian army, which protects not only the independence of ukraine, but also fights for the independence of moldova and the european union in general ukraine and moldova already have common interests, both the security of the states and the vision of the country's future , their goal is to join the eu andrii hetman dmytro

savchuk voice of america orphans evacuated from ukraine will be returned to foster families ukraine intends to get rid of boarding schools , the minister of social policy of ukraine, oksana jonovych, told iryna matviychuk about this interview , however, which spheres of social policy in ukraine suffer the most during the war, as in the ukrainian government in the conditions of an empty budget manages to pay pensions and social benefits and how the world bank helps ukraine see in the following material we have several programs of the world bank we have a local program of the world bank supporting the development of reforms of the ministry of social policy there is this general program of the world bank after which provides funds specifically to the budget of the state of ukraine for social needs, and from this budget we finance our traditional programs, i.e. payments to the poor, payments

to people with few children, payments to people with disability, in essence, these funds allow our people to survive, if they were not there, then we have this segment that needs constant support, it would remain below the poverty line , and it would be people who are really starving, and from these funds, we make payments to internally displaced persons, there are many of them 800 million, it seems to me that as of now, we are providing monetary targeted support so that people have the opportunity to rent housing because they have nothing, they left, well, at best, with a bag with personal belongings. and yes just the clothes that were meant to cover the most urgent needs. do you plan to reduce any social benefits or social benefits and which social benefits could potentially be cut ? we did not cut the budget for this year. the budget for this year has already been approved. the biggest challenge was that we did not increase social benefits

in line with inflation, this is already if there is a reduction. aid increased by 7%, and inflation by 26%. well, but we do not have the opportunity to increase this assistance, we simply understand that even if it is, well, not very large, but it will be systematic, timely and at least some kind of support in which social sphere, out of everything what do you do today, the most difficult situation is with funding in social services, so i will explain why social services accordingly to our current legislation, it is financed from the local budget by the local budget , the most difficult thing is that they do not have enough resources , social support, young people who in elderly people lived in families, they have no food for whom to buy, and it is already necessary to do this as a service, or they remain and have low mobility and need care , and in our community, there are no services, or

a person received services in his community, but he moved to another community, and for in this new community , the service is not over-budgeted and this is a huge problem for us today. because without services , it is impossible to provide social support . that is, it is not a financial payment, but actually a natural service in the form of accompanying assistance, psychological support of the day care of such services , we are currently working to solve this problem, you previously stated in the ukrainian media that it is possible in ukraine to increase the pension taking into account inflation, is there any update of this information to increase the pension taking into account inflation in march, say that i can’t because it is difficult to calculate, not quite equal to inflation, and it is more flexible, but i think from 18 to 20% increase will be the first lady olena zelenska and calls to abandon boarding schools in ukraine, you about

it was mentioned, ukraine is already starting to talk about it, discussions are already underway, what approach do you consider to be optimal in the provision of children with special needs , intellectual disabilities and orphans, we have 67 thousand children in ukraine, who are er, orphans, or their parents are deprived of parental rights, that is, no take care of these children, and the vast majority of these children are placed either in a family under care, well, with other family members or in foster families, big or small , only five thousand children under care, 5.5 thousand children who have this status of orphans, they live in boarding schools today, this is not a very large number, so if there is no problem purely with orphans, but we have a second problem , the so-called social orphanhood, before the war , 48,000 children studied and lived in boarding schools with their own parents who were not deprived of any parental rights and well, we

have fixed that only three and a half thousand of these children have permanently lost contact , and others come there for the weekend after a month or for vacations, that is, some episodic contact with the family is maintained even here it is very important why this is happening. why is this social orphanhood in such a large format, because now, after the war, some of the children returned to their families, and by the end of the year, we again saw 19 and a half thousand of them returned to boarding schools, and such of ours the first steps are well, we made such a block of housing, it is for those who are already in boarding schools, in order to build or restore such large houses for tail families for foster families and so that they have the opportunity to raise those children there somewhere

, the second is medical and social support because it is very important not to refuse children early intervention services when the child has a disorder, to explain to parents how they can move, how they can interact with the child, what kind of social services and services they have, prenatal screening, when the mother can detect any pathology in a very timely manner and will be able to decide how to act further, and if, for example, the children who were in boarding schools did not reform yet, that is, boarding schools still exist. and if the internet is bombed and these children really simply have nowhere to go, we will not return them to boarding schools under any circumstances have started building housing for foster families and have already trained 300 applicants who are ready to become foster families and 1200 who want to adopt a child yes, we have such an outbreak there is a need we have started expanding the courses due to the action uh introduced a digital tool submitting applications for adoption and to become a nice family

, we are helping to collect documents, and now we are negotiating with donors to scale up training. it will be impossible without training. to psychologically prepare them for what they will face, and here are the children . we will take the children to families and take them to these foster families. at the same time, we will prepare housing for them . at one of the most prestigious music venues in the world of carnik and hall in new york, ukrainian music once again sounded , this time performed by the academic symphony orchestra of the lviv philharmonic from mid-january, one of the oldest of musical groups of ukraine toured the united states during this time, the orchestra visited almost half of the country and gave more than 20 concerts, including in washington, but the main stage for the orchestra was the

carnegie hall. iryna solomko and pavlo terekhov attended the event. -anniversary of its creation, this is one of the oldest and most famous orchestras of eastern europe, this is the first overseas tour of the group, they dominated a few years before the start of a full-scale russian invasion, when the war started, when we started to shake up our plans a little and we realized that we are going anyway because the contract remains a contract, although there were a lot of risks, it was unknown whether we would be able to leave , we would not be able to get permission, we would not get it, already preparing for the tour, the group received an invitation to perform on the carnegie stage for responded to the fact that ukraine is at war ukraine is a trending country everyone is talking about it everyone understands that the whole world is united around

ukraine, everyone supports it and that's how it appeared in we have one more additional concert in pictures and the goal is exactly as if 100 years after the famous celebrity sang in košice, this is the third event dedicated to ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, klav hygierinson , the executive and artistic director of the carnegie golu , says when he learned about the tour of ukrainian musicians united states immediately decided to invite them, and the concert hall joined the campaign "educate ukraine" whose goal is to raise funds for generators for ukrainian hospitals. the concert took place in the dark, after which the audience heard the address of president volodymyr zelenskyi, the invasion of ukraine is something that goes beyond understanding , that is why we should support ukraine, because the invasion destroys everything that people believe in and care about in the context of values, so this is what for it is of great importance to us and i

think that the ukrainian people also inspired the world and how the ukrainian people responded to the creation of a huge country to see that ukrainians can really stop this superpower. this is extraordinary and inspiring. the concert was opened by a well-known actor and supporter of ukraine. your riber is pouring. he says he is proud of the fact that he spoke to the audience on behalf of ukraine and urged to continue supporting ukrainians. the client has ukrainian roots and visited the places where his ancestors lived . may cease to exist. ukrainians are being killed by the thousands. therefore, i want americans to realize how valuable our own democracy is and to support the ukrainian people who, in my opinion, are leading our struggle, this is a way out, the musicians admit that there is such a thing as a painted place , that is, a place with very strong energy and history. this is how we talk about our stage at

the lviv philharmonic, on which we have been playing for more than 100 years, this is really a painted place for us and here we will be on this stage, in front of us the berlin philharmonic, after us the vienna philharmonic, here is the lviv philharmonic, and geographically, we are next to each other, playing the same music, world classics. but of course , this is a great achievement for us and to a large extent professional satisfaction, that's it. we conquered this peak. theodore the cook, the chief conductor of the orchestra, an american of ukrainian origin, came to kyiv in the early 90s to develop the national symphony orchestra of ukraine. 20 years later, he is still fighting for the lviv symphony orchestra . - this is primarily his merit. i believe that this is the most important and prestigious
