[000:00:00;00] will settle down if you and i survive olena kononenko if you want to talk about the kremlin sellers, write to us at this e-mail address or just on facebook, let's put together all the traitors on the trail of the russian ship. and i am its presenter, ostap yarysh, the central issue of the munich security conference was the russian war against ukraine. in his speech at the event , the chancellor of germany offshore called on

the allies to provide ukraine with tanks and other weapons, and the french president, abonel macron, admitted that the dialogue with russia is not at the right time. we will ask yulia yarmolenko, who these days works in the ministry of finance and joins our broadcast. volodymyr zelenskyi and other representatives of the ukrainian government personally came to the event. what results does ostap's ukrainian delegation expect from the conference? the ukrainian delegation expects many results, but let's start with the ukrainian of president volodymyr zelenskyi, who really, so to speak, officially opened the munich conference. and in general , this is how ukraine treated the panel, it was called david on the dnipro, and ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyi thanked for such recognition that ukrainians really continue to fight tirelessly against russia and russian aggression, and he said that in fact all these countries that support ukraine in

the global democratic coalition are actually , they are all clearly fighting against goliath against russia and in fact volodymyr zelensky drew attention to one important thing and said that last year when he was at the munich conference, he spoke and called on countries if they want to stop a potential russian offensive, then they should help and introduce sanctions even before a potential russian invasion, while volodymyr zelenskyy said they didn't hear him this time, he actually called on the countries to speed up aid for ukraine very actively , he said that speed saves lives, that you can't delay, and that you really need to do everything to help ukraine, just now there can be no compromises again regarding the victory of ukraine and this massage is also heard from other ukrainian representatives , in particular from dmytro kuleba, this is the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, he gave a press conference for journalists where he

said that the message which he repeats at meetings with his partners. he says that help is needed quickly and steadily, that is, so that this flow of military aid for ukraine is uninterrupted. i also spoke with ruslan stepanchuk this is the chairman of the verkhovna rada of ukraine and he told me that he is repeating two important messages that ukraine needs more help because now is a decisive moment and he also said that ukraine wanted to see clearer messages from western leaders about what ukraine must win and he also said to my question about whether ukraine sees a way to negotiations with russia, he also said that only after the ukrainian victory we will listen to his comment now is the period when we must clearly to formulate the terms and it seems to me that uh peace is a victory and this is clearly

understood and support is not until the end but until our victory, this is a clear message that i would like to talk to all the leaders who came here now we do not see prospects for negotiations and this is conditioned by the fact that russia, with its actions in borodyanka, in irpen, in buch , closed the negotiation corridor. now we cannot talk about the only option for negotiations, it can be after the victory of ukraine, negotiations on the participation of the russian federation in the it must repair the damage caused to ukraine. as of now, i do not see any prospects for these negotiations with the former us army commanders in europe, and he is just talking about what he wanted to hear first from the american administration, from western leaders, that they really believe in a ukrainian victory, and that this message sounds very loud. he believes that

when this match starts sounding like the norm, then more help will come to ukraine . the statement that we want ukraine to win any of these we don't want them to lose we want them to win this is the most important thing for me to hear because when you stand committed to this red line, they stop squeezing the biden administration should not only say that they want ukraine to win but that it liberated crimea as soon as possible so that we no longer see red lines crimea is a crucial part of this campaign ukraine will never be safe as long as crimea is under the occupation of russia ukraine will not be able to rebuild its

the economy while crimea will be under the occupation of russia, and secondly, when they say that they want ukraine to win, they will be able to provide everything that ukraine needs as soon as possible, especially high-precision, long-range systems that will help isolate crimea and make it unsuitable for russian troops . to the western partners, you know ostap mazur, with whom the american vice president came here to munich from kamalagarin , to confirm once again that the united states will stand by ukraine as long as it will also be necessary at their meetings with golden scholz, the german chancellor and, in the manner of macron, the french president, they discuss how to help ukraine in the future. this was one of the goals of the kamaligars here in munich to actually check the clocks and see what the path is, what the next steps should be to help ukraine, we will see tomorrow in her speech , what she will offer or what she says about the support of ukraine by the united states. but if we talk about whether these messages are heard,

we can also judge from public speeches olefalt and emmanuel macron, and it seems that on the one hand they are calling for more help, but on the other, in particular, a well-known person is falsifying. we hear that they are not ready to provide all the necessary help so quickly. let's listen to what they said at the conference . action and consult closely on all important steps between the allies because this is a war close to us in europe this is a dangerous war despite all the pressure for action that undoubtedly exists on this crucial issue caution must prevail over haste cohesion is higher than ever, and we must adjust our aid from the outset to help sustain it over the long term, this includes ensuring that anyone who can now

supply such battle tanks has actually done so. campaign. also, here we will do what in the villages of germany to make this decision easier for our partners, for example , training ukrainian soldiers here in germany or supporting with supplies and logistics, i believe that it is wise to be prepared for a long war and it is wise to give putin a message that we are ready to stay with ukraine all the time and that we will always support it with you. i am convinced that we must absolutely strengthen our support and efforts for the resistance of the ukrainian people and the army for conducting a counter-offensive, which in itself will ensure invalid negotiations under the conditions chosen by ukraine by its authorities and its people , the fast-track conference in munich is not over yet, as you said, tomorrow

the president of the united states, who had harris, what are we watching and whether we should expect any important statements from ostap, we will definitely be watching the speech from the president and he is expected at 12:30 local time, 6:30 washington time. in fact , this forum is a platform for the vice president to talk about the vision of the united states states about how allies and partners can help ukraine in the future, so we will actually wait for this speech, but it is also important to pay attention to the fact that a lot of bilateral meetings take place on the sidelines of the summit on the sidelines of the munich security conference and in addition to today's meetings, the malagasy will also have a meeting tomorrow with the prime minister of great britain, rishi sumy, with the leader, with the leaders of finland and sweden, and also this topic of ukraine, the topic of helping ukraine will be heard at these meetings. also, the largest congressional delegation in the entire history of the munich the conference has more than 50 legislators, and it seems to me that this is how it is, we must

also take into account the fact that there is a lot of work , there are conversations, and therefore a lot of statements. i think we will hear from the results of this conference, because again, this is mata the security mass is an opportunity for world leaders and world minds to gather and discuss ways to solve global global crises, and it is also possible to take some next steps to help ukraine, of course, because ukraine is the focus of the conference this year, so again , we are waiting for the speech tomorrow, but we are also watching possible announcements after the end of the conference absolutely yuliya thank you very much for your inclusion, i will just remind the viewers that we will broadcast the performance of kamgaris live with a translation from ukrainian to pages of america's voice in social networks first 30 kyiv time 6:30 a.m. washington time i believe thank you for your work and see you soon with some members of congress who are currently in munich

the day before our journalist kateryna lisonova spoke american legislators emphasized during the meeting with partners that they will talk about the current military needs, the action plan for the coming year and the strengthening of the alliance to help ukraine. i am convinced that the main signal from munich will be a message about the fact that the western alliance is stronger than ever and that the current instability in the world was caused by one man, putin, who sacrifices young russians for his own enrichment of oil with money and power, and therefore on a deliberate consequence, which i think arose in munich and also in vienna and actually arose in all in the world is an unintended consequence of unity against totalitarian authoritarian regimes and this also includes the chinese communist party and the authoritarian regime currently ruling the great people of iran the main purpose

of this conference is to convince that we all the members of the alliance take a unified position regarding the support of ukraine. this is also a chance to emphasize how important the support of the alliance is for ukraine . i think we will also hear what the urgent needs are . opportunity to inform us so i think this is a great chance to check where we are as a state of nazarene and plan what we will need during this year first of all this 2018, the munich conference has a record attendance and it is undoubtedly because of the war in ukraine that many europeans and representatives of the usa will be present at this conference, this gives us the opportunity to come together and discuss our joint actions, how we can best implement our efforts to help the ukrainians win this war, of course the problem china

also continues to exist and every time you think this issue has subsided a bit it rears its ugly head again but i think the conference will be largely focused on to ukraine and especially to what we will do at the beginning of spring and in the current year, in addition, a group of lawmakers from the republican and democratic parties in a joint letter called on us president joe biden to provide ukraine with f16 fighter jets , according to them, fighter jets can become decisive for controlling the ukrainian skies this and in order for ukraine to win the war, the western countries should be more active and provide assistance to ukraine . discussions at the atlantic council in washington, the military also described the scenarios of how to liberate crimea by military means and encourage putin to negotiate . iryna matviychuk listened to the discussion in order for ukraine to win the war

. western countries must clearly define what conditions it must achieve on the battlefield in order to achieve successful negotiations with russia. next a step to plan specific offensive operations and provide ukraine with the necessary weapons for its success, according to the retired american general wesley clark , former supreme commander of the united of the nato armed forces in europe, when i look at the battlefield from the ukrainian point of view, i see that they have to hold the defense in donbas, they cannot make a breakthrough there, but the decisive territory is crimea, so if you can get donbas, increase your offensive strike power and go into crimea get there quickly and you will force russia to negotiate which could end this war but this cannot be done with the help of partial deliveries of weapons 31 american tanks in nine months this is not realistic if we really wise, we have to connect the results we are trying to achieve with the military assistance we are ready to provide. it will end when

putin believes that he cannot succeed . clark is convinced that this is exactly what those who plan new operations in the regime should direct their efforts to. what is the center of gravity of the enemy against whom we are we are working, these are the thoughts of mr. putin, when he believes that he cannot succeed, then this war will end, this is the center of gravity, not tens of thousands of dead russian soldiers , putin can be influenced by potential military actions in crimea, retired australian general mikroyn believes that it is possible for deo to buy crimea militarily and the countries of the west should believe everything, the most important thing is that crimea should remain on the negotiating table as something that ukraine wants to return by force or through negotiations , it is not necessary to grant it any special status and if frankly, it is not useful for the ukrainian western strategy in this war, besides, if the west really wants a ukrainian victory, it should change its attitude to the supply of aviation in ukraine

, general de treus is convinced, the former head cia the time has come for the ministers in brussels to recognize certain imperatives that simply must happen for ukraine, there must be a transition from the aviation of the eastern bloc, from mig-29 fighter-bombers and so on to western fighter-bombers , because the eastern bloc system no longer exists in the countries of eastern europe that should have transported them them to ukraine, at least make a decision to allow them to train their pilots. and what is very important, the mechanics and all those who must maintain these planes must be launched . general clark warns that potential a defeat in ukraine will contribute to the expansion of china's territorial ambitions in asia and this in turn may lead to another world war, it is impossible to choose whether we are dealing with russia or china with the way the world is organized today, both of these forces want to split it into parts, they want

to return to the era of power politics of the 19th century when each country had its own sphere of influence and great powers argued and fought on the borders until unity in opposition retired canadian general rick gelier recommends that russia find a way to communicate with turkey and hungary, which continue to partially cooperate with russia, and ukraine's task is to fight corruption within the state, otherwise it may lose western aid altogether, he says . because voters in western countries will not support the allocation of weapons to billions of dollars if they get the impression that it is stolen, that the profits fall into the pockets of those responsible for public procurement, corruption is a crucial problem ukraine must overcome it ukraine and take it more seriously the risk that without this help ukraine may not survive and this is a real threat - say generals iryna matviychuk

kostyantyn golubchyk voice of america the west cannot trust vladimir putin or other russian leaders after the war, but instead should help ukraine build such an army that will not allow a repeated invasion , this was stated by us deputy secretary of state victoria nulant. she emphasized that the only guarantee of ukraine's existence is not signed agreements and a strong army, even if there is a just peace, there must be long-term plans to build the ukrainian army of the future so that they can restrain any future wishes of putin. so this means that there must be support for them in the development of long-term integrated air defense , long-term high-quality border guard forces and the ability to patrol our seas

so we're obviously thinking about that we're thinking about the struggle that they're having now and the struggle that's going to accelerate we're thinking in the spring but we're also helping them plan this a long-term deterrent because, among other things, this is the only way to give them the opportunity to feel safe enough that this war could end at some point on the eve of victoria nolanto also announced that at least the us and its partners will introduce new sanctions against russia and countries that help the kremlin avoid western restrictions. among such states news called iran, china and north korea to announce new sanctions, allies plan to the anniversary of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine recently, israel agreed to send 17 powerful generators to ukraine, the latest batch in a large-scale humanitarian aid program that included a large field hospital, centers for refugees in neighboring moldova and the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers in israeli hospitals from

the shield israel redistributed all of its international aid, which it usually provides to 140 countries around the world, all released funds were sent to ukraine, it is extremely important to understand that since then israel has invested three times more in helping ukraine than they usually spend on international development cooperation and aid ukrainian leaders welcome humanitarian aid and at the same time continue to pressure the international community, including the new israeli government, to send more military aid we cannot win a war with bandages and antibiotics we need protective equipment to save people's lives the president is disappointed with this position of israel and i still try to maintain optimism that this position will change under the pressure of the ukrainian leadership, the american leadership and

the eu countries, and simply because israel must be on the right side of history, in order to avoid conflict with russia and since the beginning of the war, the country refuses to send military equipment to ukraine, the country is worried that russia, which controls the airspace over the neighboring series, can block israeli airstrikes on iranian armed convoys that are heading to the sbu through syria, but some analysts believe that from on the contrary, it is worth joining the international efforts of military aid to ukraine, on the one hand, taniagu has very good relations with putin in the past and was, in fact, the father of the reconciliation policy conflict in syria, but the prime minister must understand that if he wants the biden administration to help him achieve two early goals and that in saudi arabia, he must pay in ukrainian coins, while israel continues to support ukraine with humanitarian efforts. he invited first lady elena zelenska to visit the country in the near future weeks to get acquainted with israeli

psychological health support programs and their adaptation for victims of the war in ukraine maria oglyanovska he and citizens voice of america have you just seen the story of maria yanovska and linda gratstein against which challenges have been set before the new israeli government especially against the background of how it is trying to find a balance between the good relations between ukraine and russia and we continue our issue with other topics in bahmut is going on now probably the hottest fights so far about five thousand civilians remain, the donetsk regional military administration reported, and among them more than a hundred children. more than 12,000 minors have already been taken out of the city and the evacuation is taking place under continuous shelling, however, who and why continues to live in bahmut, the voice of america film crew with a report heather murdoch will introduce iryna

shynkarenko, this is a market in bahmut at the end of january in a dangerous place. against the background of constant shelling, a shopkeeper sells products to her , buyers come to her, while the people who remain in the city they say that they have already lost everything we had, our houses were destroyed, we did not destroy the shops, i have my own shops, they have been destroyed, they have already bombed my house, which is very big, so they bombed on we we live and don't be afraid. this is nonsense. they are just shooting among the people who remained in bakhmut. everyone knows someone who died from shelling, but most of the residents left bakhmut a long time ago, where more than 70,000 people used to live . sheltered ukrainian and foreign volunteers serve food, water and hot drinks locals say such a place to gather together

saves from loneliness during life shelling in this shelter volunteers are trying to build showers as residents become more vulnerable to diseases due to poor sanitary conditions, someone should wash but we talked with one woman, she said and told us how much about this, when was the last time you took a shower , she said, i haven't washed my feet for two months, that is, people have people with hygiene and these are diseases and that's what we want to do so that people can simply wash themselves, almost completely empty in the mud, part of the residents who have been living under constant shelling for months now say that they are ready to evacuate with the approach of russian troops, but others

have decided that they plan to stay at home there not so that they would not shoot and ukraine would be here ukraine would have radio ukraine we will endure all this and no one will defeat us you understand no one will defeat us we are strong in bakhmut there are only people left who love ukraine an active attack on bakhmut russian troops began at the end of january, however attempts to capture the city have been ongoing since july, although the local authorities are urging people to leave , the civilians who remain say they have sufficient supplies of water and food, and if they run out of food, they will supply the essentials through the iryna military administration shynkarenko heather murdoch voice of america bakhmut ukraine in the first month of the full-scale invasion of russia, millions of ukrainians left for poland, a year later the chaos on the border has decreased and now the movement is going in both directions , however, now poland is preparing for a possible new flow of refugees along with the intensification

of hostilities in the east of ukraine dmytro kulchynskyi will introduce the plot of henry riijol and przemyśl. olga shust returns to ukraine. she works in poland, but goes back to look after her parents, who age decided to stay in ukraine 12 months of struggle is hard to endure psychologically how can you ask how can you kill people like this 21st century the world is moving forward and here is such despair people my age are building a life have plans for the future and it is all destroyed the polish border town of przemyśl is the center for of ukrainian refugees shalota ferrar came here from the usa as a volunteer, they noticed that more and more people are currently arriving or people are afraid of what will happen

or suffer from what happened during the past year and hit them in the winter without electricity, heating and clean water in the first weeks last year, tens of thousands of ukrainians flocked to przemyśl every day in overcrowded trains, many spent days on the road without food, drink or shelter now there is movement in both directions and many ukrainians on their way home they pass through przemyśl among them and on fedorov with two children who are returning home from zaporizhzhia husband andriy is in poland there he works as a driver the family spent a week together and will not see each other again for a whole month the war is near, but i still want to go home, i really want everything to end as soon as possible, the children were very worried at first and were very afraid , but then i guess everyone just got used to it, you know, even when something honestly thunders , somehow it is perceived more calmly. this is

probably not good, but oh well taisiya and her daughter juliana came from kyiv after a year of traveling back and forth. she learned to cope with the war stronger and is no longer the same . there is hope that everything will end soon because at the beginning there was such uncertainty. it is unclear when and how it seemed that i will not work for anything anymore, well, that's all, but we continue to live, work , continue to move forward and there is hope that everything will be fine soon hope lives despite difficulties the initial fear that ukraine will be invaded by russia has disappeared and has been replaced by
