firebox succeeded impossible why did they stir up a part of society it is beyond various estimates about 50%. what is the black-white dichotomy of georgia's internal politics, what is divided misha, antimisha, i am in an understandable language. indicate whether it is the cartuli, the georgian dream from the sky, against the mishists, yes, these people lived according to the principle of plague on both of your houses. students left , youth left of political color, the state in which saakashvili is now in a factory , it is politically impossible to tie the same blues to the youth, because they were either not born then or went to kindergarten in 2003-2006, this was the main driver of this process in my opinion, and it scared

me the government's view that beck's office beck's political science office of the mission-ivanishvili he is quite true and the best thing in georgia is that he began to roll back and i think that they left this option to roll back in negotiations with the same washington with by the european union but such a surge such a surge of exit was really unification, it just in principle did not exist. i will give one example of an acquaintance. she came out, for example , a young woman with a poster and said do not stand next to the nationals . in language, therefore, it is, by the way, about the atmosphere, that is, there are no questions here. and this is a very huge contrast, for example, with the events after the night of gavrilo in the 19th year, when there, in principle, even one of the results was that one of the protesters remained until now and in

the principles were then able to put it out. that is why the authorities are now most afraid of this dynamic of protests. what was the last question for you today, mr. volodymyr? and please tell me why the georgian authorities had to put this law to a vote at all if they knew that it could lead to such protests , but in short, this is the main question, you see, i don’t believe in idiocy, which can explain everything , but it was at this age that this failure occurred , another moment, if you look for some ratio , it is still a game of invasion, as i said with brussels and washington, i want to remind you that now the politicians and the government of georgia are in the format of fulfilling the eu homework of 12 points, one of which is deoligarization, this is against the background of their attitude to the war in ukraine , the russian federation, other issues, that is, the pressure was already there and i consider this moment how

the government wanted to demonstrate that we can make it like this, that is, to europe, in their logic , georgia must go permanently under the current configuration of the government. well, they played a little , of course, mr. volodymyr. thank you very much for participating in the program. thank you for clarifying the situation. what is happening what is now in this country and how it can develop thank you very much sincerely and mutually i am grateful this was volodymyr kopchak, the head of the south caucasian branch of the center for the study of army conversion and disarmament, we talked with him about the situation in georgia and how it can develop her highness in camouflage, princess of wales kate middleton visited british military personnel who train ukrainian soldiers and officers, she visited the salisbury military training ground, where she met with soldiers of the irish guard, in particular conduct demining training for their colleagues from the armed forces of ukraine, in a post of the royal family on the social network, they emphasized that

i congratulate the program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america time time i am its presenter ostap yarysh the proposal of the us defense budget on the next year, among other things, was formed on the basis of the conclusions from the russian war in ukraine, this was stated by the us deputy secretary of defense caitlingix speaking at the pentagon, a large part of the defense budget is conditioned by challenges from china, meanwhile , today in california, president biden is meeting with the leaders of britain and australia, what to present the joint agreement on nuclear weapons is aimed at countering china in the pacific region . we will ask more about this from yulia yarmolenko, who joins the broadcast from the white house yulia congratulations, i congratulate you ostap yuliu, first i want to ask you about these proposals for the us defense budget for next year, what lessons did the united states learn from the russian aggression in ukraine, yes ostapov, the war is definitely going on , but caitlin geek said that the united states has already learned very important lessons and the key one of

them is that what should be done to prepare, train the troops in advance, also large investments should be made in the industrial complex in the production of weapons and definitely high-quality intelligence, high-quality logistics play a decisive role, this is what she said today ketingix at the briefing in the pentagon also answering the question about why the united states does not invest even more money does not ask for even more money in the defense budget , how does china do it, for example, keten could have said that here another important lesson that they saw from the russian war in ukraine that quantity does not necessarily translate into quality. she said that russia threw a lot of tanks and a lot of people onto the battlefield , but this did not materialize into any decisive gains on the battlefield, and that is why she said that the american army is not

an army of paper tigers and if we talk about these lessons, lessons from the russian war in ukraine, then we can listen to the direct speech of kefingix about what really influenced the formation of their budget, first of all, readiness is extremely valuable, the presence of well-trained combat forces of ukrainians proved this to the united states and to other partners of ukraine who train those in 2014 , these seven years of training showed their effectiveness and the ukrainians' acceptance of western approaches to warfare and their ability to effectively use their forces were incredibly valuable we consider this a lesson for us to strengthen our investment in our people and our readiness this is a warning to others secondly i will say quite obviously allies and partners have an asymmetric advantage of the united states we have a collective potential in our industrial base and of course in the military sense, thirdly , it is about logistics, this also includes intelligence

ukraine, the united states and others benefited from high-quality intelligence, a really interesting comment by official yuryu, but probably still the main a strategic challenge here in the usa is considered a potential threat from china, as it was reflected in the defense budget absolutely. war against ukraine, then in this budget they are very well reflected precisely in the great emphasis on munitions, $30 billion is allocated to munitions and, as catherine hicks said, the emphasis will be on long-range weapons on the latest weapons that can potentially come in handy if necessary if it comes to a conflict in the pacific region and she emphasized

that the united states this budget reflects the desire of the united states to do everything to deter potential aggression so that china the leadership of china every morning waking up and thinking about whether to go for aggression, i thought no because it is too big a risk due to the fact that again the united states has very strong capabilities to respond and if we are talking about other important points in this in the budget, there is also a big emphasis on cyber security, 60 billion dollars have been allocated for cyber security means and another 60 billion dollars for another very important, very important mission yuriy in this context, why is the current meeting of biden with the prime ministers of britain and australia, which i am talking about at the beginning, i mentioned why it is important, so if we are talking about the possible opposition of china and ostap a year and a half ago, if we remember that the united states, australia and great britain they concluded a so-called

security pact called okus and today, president biden, who has already arrived in california, will meet there with the prime minister of great britain , ricci sunnik, with the prime minister of australia , albanianism. in fact, today they will announce certain specific steps of this very security pact, namely the agreement at the center of which is the sale of nuclear submarines to australia. it is about the sale of three submarines from the united states , first, then from great britain, and later it will come to the point that australia can manufacture its own nuclear submarines to create such a fleet, and in fact it is very important because it is a long-term investment of the united states for decades in the security of the pacific region and a commitment to cooperation and a security pact with these two countries and this is the first time that the united states is sharing its nuclear technology in the field of nuclear submarine production and

the first vessels are expected to arrive in 9 years, but before that, the united states and great britain will alternately rotate their nuclear submarines around australia to once again increase security of the pacific region yulia thank you very much for this information, let me remind you that yulia yarmolenko from the white house was in touch with us, and next week the leader of china sisinfin may visit russia and meet with putin and then hold a conversation with volodymyr zelenskyy at least this is reported by reuters with a link according to sources familiar with the plans of the chinese leader, experts believe that now beijing is thinking about how profitable it is to help russia from its side. the usa warns that supplying weapons to the kremlin can cause serious consequences. continue andriy hetman china launched mediation activities and proposed a peace plan to end the ukrainian-russian war. for the first

time, the chief chinese diplomat announced this plan at the munich security conference . what i saw in it was that china wanted to show itself as a promoter of peace, but this does not necessarily mean that they will continue. to do what they announced, the main thing for china is to stand up and say we are for peace in ukraine and accuse the usa of being responsible for the conflict during its speech on the occasion of the accession to the third consecutive the term at the head of the people's republic of china, sit-and-pin outlined the circle of geopolitical opponents, according to him, western countries, led by the united states, carry out comprehensive containment and suppression against china, creating unprecedentedly serious problems for its development, and china calls russia its partner, but is china ready to risk trade with the united states and by other western countries for the sake of closer cooperation with the kremlin, including the supply of weapons to moscow for the war with ukraine. china is a business country where

a large part of gdp depends on foreign countries big questions will china supply weapons to russia for the invasion of ukraine if china believes that it will harm business they will not do it very much i just know that the us is now gathering allies regarding the possibility of imposing sanctions if china does provide weapons and this should scare the chinese government very much 26 in february, us national security adviser jake sullivan made it clear to china that washington knows about possible plans to supply russia with weapons, we have not seen them take steps to supply russia with weapons for the purpose of waging a war in ukraine, we are watching closely

we know that we have not given up on this yet and we are sending a clear signal together with our european partners that this could be a real mistake because these weapons can be used to bomb cities and murderous and china should not want to be a part of this in congress and the democrats and the republic of beijing as one among the biggest challenges is china, which may start helping russia, and this, in turn , may lead to the need to impose huge sanctions on our part. europe is under threat due to russian aggression against cooperation with china, in this particular case, we have two authoritarian governments that threaten expansion based on what they declare, they both talk about seizing lands that do not belong to them, professor serhiy radchenko believes that all this time , jinping was balancing everything, but now for the leader of china, politics is becoming more important for the economy , our assumptions come from the fact that the chinese

put the economy above all else, but the same assumption was made about the fact that putin values ​​the economy and he will not make such a stupid step which will harm the russian economy, but he did this. dingping puts politics ahead of the economy, he is the creator of the situation of political confrontation with the usa, and this game is more important to him than the economic fall . the chinese do not want to throw putin under the bus , they do not want to see russia defeated, because they rationally consider what in the event of russia's defeat in this war, it will also be a defeat for china, the former belarusian diplomat pavel slonkin convinces china that russia's loss in the war is unprofitable because it will mean the victory of the west, so the beijing peace plan plays in the hands of the kremlin, in fact, beijing does not want russia to completely lose this war, they are now more interested in us. obviously

, they also do not want ukraine to win the war or join nato, because this will improve the position of the west in europe, which is against the interests of china , therefore, on the one hand, they offer their plan for peace negotiations and are trying to promote it. i think china is blackmailing the west if you do not accept our plan. we have an alternative and we will help russia more than before andriy hetman kateryna lisunova maria ulyanovsk voice of america on the evening of march 12 in los angeles, the 95th academy awards ceremony took place, while the award for the best documentary film was the subject of debate; the film about the russian oppositionist oleksiy navalny was awarded among the nominees in this category, and the film jointly produced by denmark, ukraine, sweden and finland, the house of rocks about

the orphanage in the currently occupied lysychansk nataliya leonova asked the second director of the film azal safarov about his impressions of this year's oscar did you throw away that the task that you set yourself before you started working on this film you know i don't want to brag but i think that the team did the most in the last 10 days here in los angeles to tell as many audiences as possible to as many media as possible to foreign journalists about what is happening in ukraine , about the russian crime against ukrainian children , about the russian war against ukraine, this was the main thing for us, but in general, this film has ceased to be just a film, it has become an advocacy tool for the oscar very there were a lot of reviews, a lot of reviews about the film foreign snakes a and in the mass media , which relate specifically to cinema and not only cinema , but this is the los angeles times reporter and everywhere when

they wrote about the film, it was clear what they wrote about the context, yes, that is, about the war of russia against ukraine and this is important for us, it is important for us to understand. even if we won an oscar , it is not the end for us, as there is in most of the movies, yes, or most of the productions or directors, or about our work is just beginning because we continue through this film to talk about ukraine, about our problems due to russian aggression, this is important for us. that is, we can no longer say that we have done it. we will continue to do it. we just finished it on the oscar platform, but we will continue to work. and we are working, and while we were here, we did a lot screenings at american universities such as stanford harvard and george down columbia university. we will continue to do this. a very huge thank you to ukrainians, especially to our young ukrainian public relations officer anna arima, who organized all this, that is, a lot of people connected and here, when we went to these screenings, they treated us

very, very warmly and responded. i just want to explain so that there is no false impression that if this is how we cast our vote, then the americans are not for us, no, no , the americans are for us, there are a lot of americans here they approached us, supported us, hugged us, asked about ukraine and showed us theirs from azov, you know how it was bought through united24, that is, a lot of feedback, everyone asked for some small item from ukraine to take away, and we even did it yesterday brooches and you must have read about the house made of rocks, it is made of broken windows from ukraine and also among the ones with a heart in the colors of the flag of ukraine and everyone came up and asked and begged to give them and explained that it was for the team to present it at the oscars so that people could see with individual people who came and what are we here for, but everyone really asked to give at least something from ukraine. if we talk about the tape that

competed with you among others for this nomination, this is a documentary film about the massive russian opposition politician, massive . at the same time, president zelensky was refused to appeal to the audience through an argument that is sharp, this is not about politics, how can you. how do you personally perceive this argument , and again, if you do not want to criticize the academy, as i understand it, and you should not do this , but simply how do you, as both an artist and a person, perceive such argument we do not believe that any event can be outside of politics today. when ukraine and ukrainians defend not only themselves but also the entire free world, therefore i do not think that it is possible to say that something can be outside of politics, i will only correct you for me he is not a scenarist in russia, but a person who supported the annexation of crimea, and a person who did not do anything to start a war or speak

out against russia's war against ukraine cannot be considered an opiscene, but i will repeat that this is a beautiful bubble that was brilliantly spun with the help of the big budget of funds that they had and our film does not have such a budget , we bet on the quality of the film, but unfortunately, those who won before us won, and therefore i do not want to understand what is the matter. the main thing here is not to add even more pr to this person. that is, that is why we do not want to comment on it, we believe that if ukrainians are not satisfied with this decision, the best thing they can do is to go to the cinemas , now in ukraine they are showing the film the house with scaler and help ukrainian as a cinema , support the ukrainian channel, this will be the best best investment yes into ukrainian cinema, and then we will be able to make much better and bigger films and win not only the oscar, because believe me, the oscar is not a path

. is it sufficient or should ukrainian cultural expansion take place in parallel, or is it possible that now is not the time and ukraine should wait for its victory, or should it actually be carried out now, cultural decolonization and the expansion of the cult ? to do both at the same time, i believe. i really believe that it's really bad. it's very bad that we have a war. but i believe that it gave many people the impetus to do something here and now many people will understand what they have here now they should speak here now, tell the world to convey their culture, their values, and this and this

is also cultural, that is, there is an information war, there is a war on the front. due to the fact that now all resources are directed to the budget , i mean the states to support us, let's say so at the front, there are no such huge funds as there are in europe or some in america to support culture. i really want there was more ukrainian cinema in the world, because i believe that we have very cool pro ducers, very cool directors. and i believe that we will be able to earn much more from the film. this was an interview with natalia leonova and the second director of the film the house of rocks and safarov's idea. meanwhile american customs officials returned to ukraine three ancient swords and an ax, which the criminals wanted to sell to a private collection in the usa .

origin and handed over to the embassy of ukraine in the united states, which will send the artifacts home. iryna shynkarenko and dmytro melnyk learned more about the fate of ancient weapons. three ancient swords and an ax were brought to the premises of the embassy of ukraine in washington by american customs officials . matches were illegally shipped from the krasnodar region of russia, we were able to detect this shipment in july 2022 , they were intercepted at the post office of jfk airport millions of mails were sent there every day, so it was not easy to find a needle in a haystack, it was not easy to find these things, american experts found artifacts of ancient ukrainian origin in the usa, the attackers wanted to sell the swords and axes to a private collection, they are priceless because they belong to the authorities of ukraine, they are part of history and heritage,

it is determined that the stone dates back to around 3500 bc this is a very old sword stone it is from the 11th-13th century oso trying to import these things is known to the authorities as such what is trying to do this on information about the new ukraine on a regular basis, thanks to cooperation with the ministry of culture, it was possible to confirm that the mother and the ax really belong to ukraine, so in the end they were officially returned to the state to the owner, the embassy of ukraine in the usa will soon send the artifacts home through diplomatic channels, a very big thank you to the department of homeland security to the american and directly to the border service customs that well, they don't just

pay attention to such things and what exactly now , when we are fighting for our independence and for our cultural identity, are they paying attention and on such very important aspects and do not allow the russians to steal our heritage after the artifacts return home, experts must find out exactly where and how the valuables were taken out of ukraine, it is not yet known whether they belonged to any museums, meanwhile, according to the latest data from the ministry of culture from the beginning of the full-scale war the russians uncovered artifacts from almost 40 ukrainian museums, and the damage from looting and destruction of cultural objects is estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars iryna shynkarenko dmytro melnyk voice of america brutal battles around bachmut, attention was focused on the region of ukraine, where underground one of the world's largest deposits of salt, the state enterprise artemsil supplied products to 15 countries of the world and on 90% of the ukrainian market, a package of bachmut salt was in almost every

ukrainian home , artists are also experiencing this tragedy, an artist from oleksandr voytovych of lviv paints pictures simply on packets of salt, which have now become a rarity . voice of america journalist hanna hardy bread here in washington saw one of these paintings , a packet of rock salt is one of the most recognizable symbols of the ukrainian industry, this design is familiar to every ukrainian and even became a background for works of art. the artist from lviv, oleksandr voytovych, long before the war began to create paintings on salt wrappers . i somehow associated it with salt. well, first of all, with ukraine, this is an ancient history milky way bakhmut salt well, i he just played it somewhere , well, purely as such an art object, well, he probably uses it as a concept with the war, it took on a completely different meaning and now it

has become somehow so different mine and salt bakhmut soledar artemsil, these names are in the headlines of the world media every day. russia in fierce battles is trying to capture this region in particular and due to economic interest, the largest salt deposits in europe. in addition, in the extensive deep mines, the russians intend to hide ammunition, making them inaccessible to attack both of these cities mining gypsum in bahmuti and salt in the saladar and we believe that this plays an important role in why the handsome man is so persistently advancing literally throwing bodies into the meat grinder to get these two cities to during the war, the state enterprise artemsil supplied ukrainians with 90% of the salt they needed, and also exported it to 15 countries around the world. once upon a time , ukrainian chumaks went for salt not only to crimea a and to bakhmut
