[000:00:00;00] that in fact it is a unique situation now when two countries, uh, in a situation of war, in a situation of a huge crisis, united and opened uh , hugs to each other, we know that here in poland , ukrainians are called guests of the capital, guests of the country, and president zelensky, in particular, in his speech not only that he started to speak in polish, he spoke a few phrases in polish , but he also thanked not only in warsaw , not only the leadership of the country, he thanked all the inhabitants of the whole of poland, he called each city separately, especially the border towns oblasts of poland and thanked everyone. it was a visit. myroslav's official thanks from volodymyr zelenskyi was short but quite rich . who did the ukrainian president meet with today and with what practical results

did this visit end? as if the last speech was so emotionally intense, but the entire visit in this meeting was important technically and they were filled with certain content. the fact is that on the agenda well, we know that poland helps the military in ukraine to such an extent, and in particular, there was a lot of talk about this today and they even signed relevant agreements when president zelenskyi met with the prime minister of poland, they signed two important agreements in particular, one on the participation of polish business in the reconstruction of ukraine in the future, and president zelenskyi met with polish business separately and also signed an agreement on additional military aid to ukraine and a lot of ammunition ukraine is buying for especially this is important at this time when ukraine is preparing for a contour offensive let's listen to what the president said i want

to thank you for what you and our powerful neighbors who did not and do not allow us to break, help us because if ukraine falls, we know that russia will not stop at anything and will move on. i want to thank you for this. in addition, they have been transferred recently, that is, in total, eight are ready today, i am talking about this with the president to transfer six more, they are being prepared now, that is why we are omitting that they can be transferred in the near future, myroslava , the next months, as you already mentioned, will be extremely important for the start of the war, we know that ukraine is preparing for a counter-offensive, many western partners are talking about this, what is the significance of this visit of president zelensky to poland at this very moment, from the point of view of further support to ukraine's pan-partners

, because poland is one of the largest and most well-known supporters of ukraine so i am quite critical of the picture and what is very important is that this community, this leadership of poland in support of ukraine remains and that other countries especially countries in europe that poland constantly pressures to some extent so that they help ukraine more actively, to strengthen this polish leadership, that is why this visit was important right now , and also that poland is actually just an example to other countries this way, i talked to several experts here in warsaw and they say that we understand what russian aggression is, we understand what

the russians can do if, well, if ukraine falls, we will not let ukraine fall and very rationally and perhaps even economically, but in the same way they say that it is better for us, the poles say that it is better for us to bypass the ukrainian e in b gave the answer to russia than we will send our soldiers to this war because we understand that we will be next if in the event that ukraine will not be able to survive this war, then it is rational and this is the message of both countries myroslaw thank you very definitely important relations between poland and ukraine i will remind our viewers that myroslawa gongadze was on the phone from warsaw with the results of the visit of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi to poland during his official visit to warsaw, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi also met with representatives of the ukrainian

diaspora, according to the polish development fund, more than 2 million ukrainians live in ukraine among those invited to the meeting, and activists of the social initiative euromaidan warsaw first conducted a full-scale invasion two hundred actions in support of ukraine with volunteers on the eve of the meeting with the president, lesya bakalets talked to the square in front of the royal castle in warsaw , people started gathering since lunch. we want to see our president and listen to what he has to say. the president's speech was allowed on the lists among the invited activists of the social initiative euromaidan warsaw kostya it is natural to hear

, first of all, that ukraine's allies, the european union , a european ally, provided the weapons that ukraine has been asking for military financial support for a long time. euromaidan warsaw has existed in poland since 2013, but it was in the year of the full-scale invasion. our work is unpaid , it is volunteer work, we still dedicate 6 hours a day every day to activities in our organization, activists have held about 100 advocacy events and round tables and the same number of street actions, for example, on the anniversary of the invasion, they woke up russian diplomats in warsaw with sirens

. we made even russian diplomats feel what it was like for ukrainians to wake up every day. they their house will fly one of the most successful actions of volunteers blocking the movement of russian trucks on the polish-belarusian border after several weeks of constant measures european union adopted the fifth package of sanctions, in which it prohibited the import and transit of new cargo by motor vehicles from russia and belarus to the territory of the eu. it can be said that it is the most expensive because this action, which stopped the flow of billions into the russian economy, at the same time , new members joined the organization, one of the of them yulia, who now coordinates all the volunteers of her initiatives, there are already more than a thousand of them, they are teachers, designers, entrepreneurs, programmers , accountants, our organizations, if for every day, she coordinates about two hundred volunteers, it is online and offline when on social networks, info staff and offline - this is when it is necessary for some event before the visit of us president joe biden to warsaw, the activist organized an action

for the transfer of f-16 med fighter jets to ukraine and bought a huge screen in the center of warsaw from which we appealed to chubaidin to transfer f16 planes to ukraine in return of his hotel. we managed to organize an action and during his entire stay, i.e. three days of the official visit, we constantly stood outside the hotel, appealing to him for further support for ukraine and the transfer of the fighter jet to f-16 nataliya is sure that this action will still produce results because politicians are very dependent on public opinion and sometimes public pressure has a much greater influence than conversations in high offices, we achieved that all world publications that wrote about his official visit to poland all devoted a minimum one paragraph is that i will prepare the campaign in this way , his voters, american citizens who were not here with us at the time, reading the newspapers, understood that

for ukraine and ukrainians, it is very important not only words of support and gestures of support, they of course important, but not the most important, it is important to get specific planes, the organization also constantly organizes actions of thanks to the poles. it was poland that accepted the largest number of ukrainian refugees and became the main transfer platform for providing military and humanitarian aid to ukraine. they saw it with their own eyes that we are really grateful to them, these are not just words that somewhere someone said once that many people really see and feel this support now euromaidan warsaw is collecting money for generators for ukrainian hospitals, they have already been able to buy 50 , but the same amount is needed, it is more than 200 thousand dollars, to earn these funds, volunteers are organizing a cultural and economic forum like ukraine in warsaw in april, it will be dedicated to the development of ukrainian cultural business and volunteerism

lesya, voice of america performer with warsaw, you see what we are doing, we continue to issue new military aid from the united states, which washington announced the day before should help for ukrainians not only to defend themselves but also to win back more territories captured by the russians, secretary of state anthony blinking said this at a press conference based on the results of the main diplomats of nato countries, that $500 million worth of weapons allocated by the united states under the presidential powers program should arrive on the battlefield in the near future includes additional ammunition for the patriot and hammers systems , artillery and mortar shells, tank ammunition, answering journalists' questions about ukraine's membership prospects in nato, blinkin noted that the door to the alliance remains open, but the number one priority now is to make sure that the ukrainians have the necessary weapons for the near future and

can defend themselves and repel any other attacks in the future. we are now relentlessly focused on doing what is necessary to help ukraine defend against russian aggression and help it regain more territory captured by russia, this is our main focus , of course, nato's door remains open , nothing has changed here, but right now we should be intensely focused in the coming weeks and months, especially as ukraine prepares for a counteroffensive to try to regain most of its territory, as well as work to continue to bring ukraine closer to nato interoperability standards and notably the united states, canada, ukraine and 45 other countries have condemned russia's attempts to use the rada platform security of the un in order to spread misinformation about the forced deportation of thousands of ukrainian children , which moscow describes as an evacuation russia, which is now

the head of the security council, called for wednesday a meeting on this topic in the aria format to speak at which the russian commissioner for children maria lviva bilova was invited two weeks ago, the international criminal court announced an arrest warrant for lviv and bilova , as well as the russian leader putin, who are accused of committing war crimes related to the deportation of ukrainian children the british representative office of creon blocked the online broadcast of the meeting , stressing that if lviva bilova wants to answer for her actions, she can do it in gas. the representative of the united states also spoke with a protest at the un linda thomas greenfield as russia takes over the presidency of the security council we are taking every opportunity to oppose the use of their seat on the security council to spread disinformation and use their presidency to support their efforts so it is for this reason that today we opposed the appeal of their officials who were accused of war

crimes and who participated in the deportation and removal of children from their homes to russia and decided against it and so we joined the uk in blocking the broadcast meeting of the un security council to prevent the use of this international tribune to spread disinformation and try to justify its terrible actions that are taking place in ukraine. ukraine has so far been able to officially record 16,200 cases of forced deportation of ukrainian children to the territory of russia, but according to independent researchers from the united states, it may be about hundreds of thousands illegally displaced minors , russia itself declares that since february 24, 2022 , 744,000 children have arrived in russia, the office of the president of ukraine reports on the launch an international group that is jointly with unicef and in particular the goodwill ambassador orlando bloom will work on the return of ukrainian children abducted by russia

from the temporarily occupied territories with extended what is the russian side e-e in moving from the temporarily occupied territories in the territory of russia and we are in our office today a group is being created, a special group that will consist of uh, they will be a part of ukrainian participants and an international group just the other day, we were sitting and drawing up an action plan for this group and we realized that in fact there is no mechanism in the world for the return of these children, and simply because if there are no analogues of the situation like this anywhere and we need

to. well, we are faced with super ambitious people and to develop this mechanism and make the system work. the exchange of prisoners of war has been taking place since 2014, increasing with less intensity in different years, as far as now is it more difficult or easier, i suspect that it is more difficult to organize an exchange of prisoners of war, well, now the situation is simply fundamentally different, yes, in total, since march 11 , 2022, 39 exchanges took place under the coordination of the e-e coordination headquarters for the treatment of rural prisoners, and a total of 1,993 people were released from them

184 women, 107 civilian hostages, and well , i hope that by the time this interview is released, the numbers will increase . the process of intensification has begun. and now they are going more or less regularly, it can be said that our situation is unique, and such mass exchanges of prisoners before the end of the war did not take place under the conditions that exist now. female exchange yes, we still did not return all of the women, how do we determine who will be lucky this time or the next time according to the norms of international law, and the seriously injured patients and women should come first. by

the way, there is also a very important issue of civilians hostages, he is asked very often, and here the key injustice in general and the outrageous injustice is that we cannot talk about it at all, because civilians , eh, there can be no exchange process for them at all. well, it should not happen. they should a priori be returned without any negotiations and so on. i am also not combatants, they are doctors , and there are musicians, well, that is, people who do not fall under the category of prisoners of war in the same way, a priori, in fact, they should be returned without any additional negotiations, well, russia is grossly violating the norms of international law on maryana mamonova, a military medic, she is, hmm, an outgoing woman, an officer and a medic, well, everything just worked out here, and she had to go, in general, the exchange, and they in general. well, she is just an incredible girl

, very bright, very strong, and her story is behind the whole country also watched the story, yes. that is, she is pregnant in captivity. she came out on september 21 and shortly after that gave birth to a healthy child. now she ordered the procedure to say that it is very difficult for men, but it is even more difficult for women, we do not receive elementary hygiene products, there is not enough water. she says i waited 6 months for the red cross to come to the hospital and i will be fired because i am a small priority, but she spent there was a separate exchange with the seriously wounded for six months and a half there. well, i think i answered the question about who is a priority and who should be at home by now, yes, but in general, this is all a process, the process is not an easy one that needs

to be continued hmm, constantly looking for new ways pull out more of ours this was a fragment of an interview with daria, the communications adviser to the head of the office of the president of ukraine, see the full version on youtube page of the voice of america in ukrainian topic former us president donald trump reacted sharply to the announcement of his indictment yesterday in the manhattan court, he pleaded not guilty calling them false on none of the points in a speech to supporters in florida, he criticized his opponents and the current government more in the story of oleksiy kovalenko, the former president of the united states donald trump pleaded not guilty to all counts of falsification of business records and conspiracy during a manhattan court hearing yesterday in which he was charged with complicity in the payment of money

for the silence of pornographic acts created by daniels in 2016 skin as part of a scheme donald trump and others made three payments to people who they said they had negative information about mr. trump one of the three people they paid to keep quiet was a woman named stormi daniels less than two weeks before the presidential election michael cohen listed storm lawyer daniels $130,000 this payment was intended to hide damaging information from voters the scheme was illegal and violated new york election law promoting a candidate by illegal means is a crime rohm became the first former president to face criminal charges experts highlight the case against him it could take years, the temple denies any wrongdoing in this case, he

calls all the allegations against him a partisan attack, such statements will not work in his favor, according to the profession the rights of george washington university, all this ufo, this case will be considered according to the facts and the law, and i do not think that this will play in his favor with the americans, because most americans want the legal process to take place in full. and honestly, even when it comes to the former president. after returning from the new in york, trump gave a speech at maralago's residence in florida in front of his fans. where he blamed the accused on judges and the current us administration , he also mentioned ukraine in his speech. however, this is the country we live in now, the united states of america is a mess, our economy is collapsing, inflation is out of control, russia has merged with china, can you believe it, saudi arabia has joined

iran, china, russia, and grant north korea have formed together a threatening and destructive coalition this would never have happened if i was your president this would never have happened and russia would not have attacked ukraine all these lives would have been saved all these beautiful cities would not have been destroyed the anti-trump right of the syds manhattan is far from the only case in the american courts against the former us president, other legal challenges against trump are drawing attention to the investigation in atlanta and washington, how all these cases will affect the future plans of trump to participate in the next presidential elections , only time will tell oleksiy kovalenko kostyantyn glubchyk in america pashchenko this is definitely not the end of this story, we will follow all the updates, and you follow the pages of the voice of america in ukrainian on social networks so as not

to miss the main thing and, finally, about space the space agencies of the united states and canada announced the composition of the first lunar expedition under the artemis program, four astronauts, three americans and one canadian are to fly around the moon next year on the orion spacecraft and land in the pacific ocean, this will be the first human journey to the moon in decades about the details of the future flight and the impressions of the crew with the plot oleksii olesya kruglyakov from houston iryna shynkarenko at the lyndon johnson space center now the most popular saying is already unusual houston, we have a problem, and the motto of the last few months, we fly, it shows our determination, and after 50 years, to return to the moon , the first step on this path was the artemis mission alone, which last year tested a lunar rocket with pei elephant systems and the latest space technologies, and now a new stage in houston announced the names of four astronauts who are to fly around the moon on the orion spacecraft if the artemis flight alone took place in

a completely autonomous mode, the ship was controlled from the control center in houston, the commission artemis-2 we plan to transfer all this under the control of the crew and work out the procedure in case of emergency situations, so if something goes wrong in future missions, we will already know that the crew knows how to maneuver the car and work with communication systems, it will be a completely different flight on artemis 1 did not have many elements necessary for the work of humans , for example, crew power systems or waste disposal, now we want to make sure that the crew will feel comfortable during the flight, for us what half a century ago, the lunar program is again the time of firsts, because the new crew includes the first african-american, the first woman and the first canadian to go beyond the earth's orbit, many even said that the professional abilities of astronauts have given way for symbolism if you look at this team of astronauts, it looks more diverse than at any time in history, hardly here

does anyone care about the political aspect of this issue? we have no doubt that diversity makes any team stronger . duration of stay in orbit among women, she also has the first, together with jessica meyer, a purely female spacewalk in the active space of the artemis-2 crew members , flights in the soviet union and krugen, as well as tens of hours spent in space, or the only one, but she does not foresee this mission landing on the moon although the astronauts will literally reach its surface with their hands this is a great opportunity an amazing moment in history when they announce the crew of the third and fourth artemis we will be happy for them the possibility that one of us will fly as part of the next lunar expeditions is very unlikely alla we will always have something to celebrate at

the ceremony in houston, members of the artemis-2 crew victor glover compared the space race to a relay race during which astronauts from previous missions pass on knowledge and experience to the future crew mercury's relay and apollo's geminai from the sandy beach today are in the hands of the artemis generation astronauts, whose work in the exploration of deep space is just beginning iryna shynkarenko oles kruglyakov oleksandr bergan voice of america houston download the mobile application of the voice of america, the application allows you to automatically bypass blocking thanks to the built-in vpn service, read the news, watch informative programs and videos, and also listen to podcasts of the ukrainian service of the voice of america all tomorrow in the programs , we will read the briefing, the washington studio, we will talk about the visit of the belarusian leader lukashenka to moscow, the nuclear threat from russia, attraction to the responsibility of those guilty of
