[000:00:00;00] it's very scary every day one by one two houses were burned and the natsiks of the ukrainian people are here yes, we are all nationalists of the people , did they resist, the residents came here, stopped and sent back and became heroes, the novel was and will be in unbreakable cities of ukraine from the ukraineer project in the documentary series de-occupation that on saturdays at 11:10 on espresso on the air with washington, the program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america, i am yuliya yarmolenko. greetings. the pentagon is studying reports about the alleged leak of secret documents about

the russian war in ukraine and the situation on the ground materials that, among other things, talk about us and nato plans to help the ukrainian army appeared on social networks twitter and telegram and were first reported by the deniektimes publication, military analysts say that the documents are similar to the real ones, but the original versions have been incredibly changed in several places more about this situation and not only we have the opportunity to talk with ostap yaroshniki is currently in contact with the us state department . i congratulate ostap. i congratulate igor. what is the essence of this alleged leak and how far can it be confident in the authenticity of these data, as you correctly said, the first time this leak was reported by uniorg times, these documents are photos of slides, as it were, with maps, as it were, and classified information. these documents are currently unclear as to how they got there or who leaked them if indeed this leak took place and it

seems to be about the situation as of march 1 and these documents describe the plans of the united states and nato with the help of to the ukrainian military, before the announced counteroffensive, it is about the supply of weapons, it is about the training of the ukrainian troops, the number of troops, and so on, but what is not indicated there is not indicated about specific battle plans, there is no information about when and how ukraine plans to start its counteroffensive regarding authenticity yuriy, this is a good question and it is difficult now to actually say with certainty whether these documents are really true, at least part of the information there seems to be incorrect reality, in particular when it comes to the loss of personnel. this is how it appears that in those documents that were distributed among russian telegram channels, the losses of the russian military are significantly underestimated and the losses on the ukrainian side are significantly overestimated, in particular, they

mention the numbers that the russian side apparently lost about 16-17 thousand soldiers during the entire time of the full-scale invasion, although we know that earlier in the pentagon and in other e-e departments of the united states, they talked about much larger numbers, they talked about almost 200,000 e-killed and injured, therefore, talk about some yulia authenticity. i think it is still difficult, ostapa, how they react to these documents, so to speak, and in ukraine, the pain in the pentagon is very reserved , they comment almost nothing about it , and she just said that they have started an investigation into a possible leak, how could this information have been appeared on social networks, they said that this was being closely monitored by the ukrainian side, but instead they said that it was russian disinformation, that the information was distorted, and that russia could not learn of any plans for a counteroffensive from these

documents, and they say that this is such a deliberate step to create some kind of fog and show that russia knows about some ukrainian plans, our colleague tatiana had a fortune-telling conversation with the representative of the office of the president of ukraine and adviser mykhailo pudelyak, he told her in more detail how the ukrainian side comments on this information, which of appeared on social networks, if it was a pain , well, of course, you wouldn't print it. well, why, that is, if you had real data , you wouldn't print it, but in order to show the world, as it were. see and contribute certain psychological speculations in the mood in ukraine that we are all russia sees everything, understands everything and will be ready to perceive the counteroffensive there effectively, that is why you will print fictitious data, we will definitely monitor how this situation develops , meanwhile the white house published the conclusions of the secret reports on the withdrawal the day before of american troops and from afghanistan, placing

most of the blame for such a chaotic , chaotic exit on the previous administration, how did the republicans, democrats react to this, to this report, and why is it important in context ostap of ukraine legally made a lot of noise and also didn't make a lot of noise also and this news released this report just before the long weekend before the easter holidays here in the united states but when john kirby is the representative of the united states national security council was speaking at the white house in front of reporters well you know he was asked very sharp questions about this report, which journalists called chaotic and unorganized. but really, yulia, you are saying that the administration is responsible for a large part of this chaos, and perhaps some of this is not to the end planned withdrawal of troops from afghanistan and responsibility is placed on the previous administration, the administration of donald trump says that the former president's team did not give enough information, did not coordinate their plans with the administration of joe biden, and in this way

they explain in the white house that they had a lot to do with each other hands when it comes to the planning of this withdrawal from afghanistan and the withdrawal of civilians as well as american citizens or afghans who helped and you from also the military uh at the same time john kirby, a representative of national security somewhere, says that joe biden does not regret his decision and that on the contrary it helped. and you should draw some conclusions and better prepare for the plans of the united states when it came to helping american citizens, including in ukraine. let's listen to his comment on the president's decision to end the war in afghanistan was right, the united states long ago abandoned its mission to remove from the battlefield the terrorists who attacked us on september 11, and the terrorist threat to of the united states from afghanistan, and now that the war is over, we can more clearly address the most legal challenges

of our time. america stands on a strong strategic footing and is now better able to support ukraine and fulfill our commitment to security around the world, as well as compete with ktm because the us does not conduct ground the war in afghanistan, at the same time, yulia , republican legislators with whom our colleague kateryna lisunova spoke, criticize the decision of the biden administration and say that it was chaotic that there is no need to place responsibility on the previous administration and says that in the end the withdrawal of troops from afghanistan also affected putin's calculations regarding his plans for a full-scale invasion of ukraine, and my colleague ostap yarosh berezne was in touch with the state department at the beginning of april ukrainian troops liberated the kyiv region during the occupation, 1,374 civilians died in the region, including 38 children, the town of bucha on the outskirts of kyiv became the epicenter of russian

atrocities. on april 8, 2022, the city began the exhumation of bodies from mass graves, the voice of america team visited bucha a year after the liberation, says myroslava gongadze today on the building of the bucha city council and a large sign of invincibility hangs . mass graves, making this small town near kyiv the epicenter of the brutality of the war mayor buchi took us through the usual route as he does it almost every day with many international delegations who they come here to see everything with their own eyes, going to the two mass graves on the territory of the local church, the peace remembered the first day of the exhibition after the liberation of the city by the ukrainian military actions kyiv, these two graves that were and were right here on the territory of the church mrs. ursula fund dergaem mr.

barel prime minister - a minister from five countries of the european community and she spoke to his parliament the other day. i was there, i saw practically the fourth and fifth package of sanctions and left walking away from it. what did they see here? the european leader mentioned what happened in bucha. unbelievable. we saw the brutal face of putin's army. we saw the recklessness and cold-bloodedness with which they occupied the city here in buchi . we saw how humanity is being killed and the whole world grieves with the people of buchi. in this important struggle , today the local church of andrew the first-called and all saints, which survived the occupation and still retains signs of artillery shelling

, temporarily became a place where visitors can to see what the russian army did to the peaceful ukrainians in the city, the priest tells the stories of those who died and those who survived the occupation, many of whom he knew personally, the house here, opposite the church, in the 14th year, they fled donbas, they lived here, worked, left here, in the same place, a man was shot by a passer-by then he was taken to the hospital as a result. he was left without a shelter, and his mother and two children were burned in the car. the russian army, the mayor recalls , divided the city and terrorized the population , preventing people from escaping, not the city, the region was taken into the hostages completely and used it as a human shield in order to carry out targeted fire from here in the direction of kyiv , standing where more than a hundred unidentified bodies were buried, the mayor says that the russian terror here was aimed at

those who were proud and promoted their ukrainian identity . to carry out the tasks of the military and political leadership, which were actually given to them by the leaders of public opinion in the suburbs of kyiv, which is why we had a large number of officials and deputies as well of the past and present and those who, in fact, during these 30 years of independence, carried a kind of ukrainian where they positioned themselves as a separate nation of public and open, in fact , all those who lived in our city in different microdistricts of the city were related to such a dissident movement in the soviet period of time or even the period of the first second revolution on the maidan, they were all on those lists , the homes and archives

of prominent ukrainians of the city were damaged or destroyed, such as the homes of ukrainian dissidents and candidates for president vyacheslav chornovola in this now empty place or dissident artist love panchenko who died shortly after the liberation without sustaining wounds and exhaustion according to the mayor today 98% of the dead found and gathered around the city are identified as residents of the city their families demand justice of course it is important that the world even after the great victory, after we liberate the territory of ukraine , a military tribunal must be held, evil must be punished, just like fascism after the second world war for their crimes we for the war itself and for crimes against the humanity of mankind was punished that is just as racist as not people should be condemned both the perpetrators and the military-political leadership a year after the release today world leaders artists and movie stars continue to come

here to see the face russian brutality, they join the calls for the need to punish the crimes committed in this small town and throughout ukraine . russia will eventually be brought to justice for these crimes, convinced ivana klympush-sensad, head of the verkhovna rada committee on ukraine 's eu integration, in an interview with my colleague maria ulyanovska , she commented on why the international criminal court decided to start with the case of illegal deportation of children or bring russia to responsibility and in what format , in her opinion, will the international tribunal be the most effective fragment of this interview on march 17, the international criminal court finally issued a warrant against putin on charges of the deportation of ukrainian children from the occupied territories to russia. please tell me why

the international criminal court chose this particular crime and why it is important. first of all, i believe that there will probably be more than one warrant issued for the arrest of putin for various crimes. which he is involved in which he carried out directly who carry out those further and all those his eh hmm members of this clique of putin and those executors who implement these crimes therefore i think that it is so very very painful for us on the basis of which this arrest was issued but the first swallow on those accusations and well-founded accusations that will be received by the head of the kremlin. and why is everyone there ? it is this corner, this direction. i think because this is one of those things that well, first of all, we

have information about e- there are 16,000 confirmed cases of children who were forcibly deported from ukraine from the occupied territories of ukraine. unfortunately, there are not so many cases. it is measured in hundreds . some of them were returned, and this is already the material. attached to such a case. and this case it is you know, here they are accused of a war crime. but at the same time, you and i understand that this is a part of the crimes that are characteristic of genocide, and in my opinion, this is also a very, very important signal because, as it seems to me, what is this? well, it will be the basis for in order to accuse putin's russia of the crime of genocide, although we see that , unfortunately, and today, the ukrainian structures there have not found confirmation of the genocide. i think that this is primarily due to the fact that they use

only the information that is from the territories controlled by kyiv and they are not are aware and do not have and do not try to get access to the array of brutality and horror that is happening in the occupied territories, you and i understand that tens of thousands of ukrainians died only in mariupol , for example, and you know these crimes are thousands of butch - that's thousands of raisins no more , and this is what the entire leadership of russia will definitely bring to justice. well , actually, to punish the top political leadership of russia, ukraine is currently lobbying for the creation of an international crime terminal aggression and i know that ukraine's partners are just offering it a slightly different hybrid format, according to which the court will act according to the legislation of ukraine , but on the territory of another country. how do you feel about such a format, well, this is our partners, that's it

. here in the united states, there is a proposal regarding this of the hybrid tribunal, i don't think that this is the tribunal that, uh, hmm, it's best if it meets our interest to bring uh, russian leaders and executors to justice because, uh, even a national court, even on the territory there he is always a-ah well 100%, there he will be questioned by those who will be convicted by this court, and it will be difficult for us not only to receive guilty verdicts, but also to actually implement them if it will be a purely national court, because in my opinion we after all, we must continue our efforts to create such an international special tribunal. i am glad that 32 countries have already joined

this initiative. there is such a group, the main one. only four countries, i.e. 32, this is already a great force, but obviously we will try to continue our efforts , let's say to pass such a decision through the un general assembly, and this would be the best ideal solution to the creation of such a tribunal, but if not, then, as a matter of fact, involvement is possible more and the number of e-e countries before here, the creation of such a tribunal will be the right and such a complete answer to e real justice for the crimes in this war, i am excited with you klympush-tsenza - see the full version on the youtube page voice of america in ukrainian american chef and participant of the 10th season of the masterchef show on the sims is coming to buchi for the sixth time in the past year, his goal is not only to feed the townspeople

pysanka, the fair was visited by iryna shynkarenko and kostyantyn golubchik, the american couple of steven and ukrainian anastasiya, walks with their pet at the easter fair in washington. steven has been studying ukrainian easter traditions for many years now. i just really love ukrainians and think they are really amazing. more here buy a lot of ukrainian things i want to learn how to make pysanky eggs many souvenirs brought to washington this year overcame not easy gives by collectors sends out sells easter eggs from different regions of ukraine, even this time i have easter eggs from zaporizhzhia, which they were in. the bather is a craftswoman who paints these

easter eggs. she always painted , she remained ukrainian and she supports art and continues to paint it. ours went to the front, and their wives who remained are painting. but many of my masters are now at the front. many ukrainian easter traditions are becoming a discovery for americans. thank you very much. this is to cover the easter a basket like this we hardly do in america, so i thought it would be very nice to have a fair in support of ukraine, it is impossible to have non -national dishes, the first buyers took apart the flatbreads and treated themselves to cabbage rolls, and the biggest demand is traditionally for varenyki, it is skebs with cheese, i am a vegetarian without cheese who wants a song this is

the one who orders something stuck on more than three thousand and they have already sold two, i guess they have sold , it's hard to say, that's how it all goes, it goes on sculpting dumplings, not a fair, the ukrainians were also helped by the americans, they admit that it's not easy for beginners, plants are the most difficult seal the edges, lower the dumpling down and do it while the dough is a little wet, because if it is too dry and does not stick together, it is the most difficult among the guests, the nanny's roots, whose father is from ukraine, the dishes reminded of childhood , holy dinners before christmas and making sweet dumplings, the whole family gathered together and there were so many people in my house that i had to hide the dishes, in short, with the fair, a master class in easter egg making was looted. 80 participants

of all ages, mostly americans, who took up easter eggs for the first time, i am trying to make a ring with a cross inside, but i don't think that it is it works very well, we were just joking. maybe it would be better to have an electric pen to put the troops correctly and she hipsters on friday a master class on ukrainian pysanky art has been held in washington for 37 years, the organizer yuriy dobchanskyi says he allows the student to draw pysanky to his taste and most of them ukrainian patterns are of particular interest to people, people really feel that this is a unique form of art and it should go with its own history, it has such specific symbols and they say that it is very impressive

to many americans who, traditions don't have it passed down from generation to generation this year's master class is not only fun and familiarization with art but another manifestation of solidarity with ukraine i will go to church on easter and my fingers will look like this but it is so bright i make contributions to some funds. i also bought a ukrainian necklace. i am doing everything i can to help at least a little . this year, ukrainian products will decorate easter with american holidays. defenders and civilians, iryna shynkarenko, kostyantyn golubchyk, voice of america, and that's it, thank you for watching voice of america, ukrainian, see you next
