[000:00:00;00] the ukrainian people are constantly amazed. today we had a separate session dedicated to the military situation in ukraine, and around it a ukrainian military representative gave details about the situation and outlined here the support that ukraine needs to fight for what legally belongs to them, they use radio equipment, despite the losses of the ukrainian the military understands that it is impossible to defeat the russian army by the standards of the past, and that is why kyiv uses innovations, among them situational centers , intelligence data flows here as from professional from scouts as well as from ordinary ukrainians, analysts study the data, put the location of russian troops on a map and pass it on to the ukrainian military at the front lines . in military terms, this is called situational awareness. this system was developed according to nato standards. therefore, it is compatible with the alliance structures

. andriy hetman learned more about the work of situational centers and uses this information himself. not only his unit, but also the entire armed forces of ukraine, the video enters the situational centers , all the intelligence information and data provided by ordinary ukrainians as well as professional scouts, information from radio-electronic intelligence, satellite images, and here they make a single map of combat operations, the military calls it situational awareness, as soon as the operator enters information, which can be looked at, look at the attributes of the data to it, e-e , you can attach photos, videos, you can write a text comment yes, if there are no photos or videos or coordinates, that is, all of this is tied to the area, the first such center started working in kyiv immediately after

the large-scale invasion of russia. representatives of the non-governmental organization air intelligence together with the center for innovati and the development of defense technologies of the ministry of defense of ukraine began to collect data and coordinate there, mainly uav flights, and then after the end of the kyiv operation, we began to expand to other operational areas of ukraine , now such centers there are nine, they are located along the contact line and work in the delta situational awareness system at the beginning of the invasion, a lot of information was provided by residents of the temporarily occupied territories around kyiv, reporting on the movement of russian equipment and the materials that we receive, they are transmitted by, let's say, people who do not have a professional military education, but thanks to the rebel analysis of the data received, we

can a-a evaluate their reliability and credibility, and also decide in more detail what is meant, relatively speaking, for a civilian, to md that it will be a big car, which then needs to be asked a clarifying question. there were a lot of residents of kyiv region at that time, for example, if we talk about unmanned aircraft, then there were a lot of volunteers who were simply with their commercial moms who they bought there for their own

purposes. i also filmed something with this malik . thanks to the information provided, the armed forces of ukraine delivered precise strikes on the russian troops. but before shooting, they carefully checked the data and opened fire only after of several confirmations, there were such interesting cases when, for example, a person calls at 12 o'clock and says that he has generals steaming in the bath now and they say you can do something about it there, well, hand it over to the artillery for damage there back and forth in the car, we explain well, you understand, we need some kind of confirmation, a photo, or something else . well, we're just artillery. they just don't shoot . and he says to that. and if i go and take a photo , that's how much the people there were motivated

. they wanted the enemy to leave them. homes now algorithms have already been worked out, how to trust informants, because russian troops can send disinformation, we generally perceive information from information , and this is well, in principle, it is logical and correct, as information that needs additional verification or, well, let’s say, it is compared with other data, now there are already developed algorithms as if a person reported something for the first time , well, it is clear that we cannot immediately trust him there and immediately there work according to the coordinates much more trust from the intelligence officers of the armed forces of ukraine and also from satellite images and radio electronic warfare specialists, so specialists map the positions of russian troops in real time, satellite images already arrive processed to us

. you can say that yes, it can get into the system, well, let's say almost necessarily before real time, the military is not advanced, they receive information, photos and videos , they choose the priority and strike the selective defense of the station's enemy, you can observe the routes of movement of certain targets and their areas of concentration, and in this way we more successfully plan the use of our damage , it is especially important during active hostilities, it turns out to be an integration platform. there are many automated sensors that provide information about the enemy without involving any human resources and it also

works very well when there is an active offensive or counter-offensive phase, in order to get this information, a non-frontline military person just needs to have a laptop or a phone with access to the internet, each user has his own level of access, the general has a large one, the head of the unit has a map only in his area , the situational awareness system has been developed by nato standards, which allows it to be compatible with similar structures and systems of the alliance countries. western smart equipment can be easily integrated, thanks to which data from it from the battlefield will quickly enter the system about the delta system at the nato conference , the minister of digital transformation of the delta spoke from the units, the maid delta award is unique the technology was developed in ukraine and it provides enhanced real -time understanding of the situation on

the battlefield and supports better tactical decisions . as russian soldiers have such techniques, ukraine wins thanks to modern knowledge of innovation andriy hetman kostyantyn golubchyk voice of america esco topic us president joe biden eco-strong pressure to reach a compromise on raising the national debt limit and thus avoid a default, which, as us treasury secretary janet yelan warns, could happen as early as june, on the eve of job biden invited to the white house the leaders of republicans in congress, kevin mccarthy and ball mcconaugh, as well as democrats meet hakeem jeffreys and chuck sumer looks like it ended without tangible progress why the president and republicans in congress can't agree on whether the united states could

go into default for the first time in history and whether suffer aid to ukraine in the course of negotiations on increasing the state debt limit and reducing budget expenditures , we will talk about all this with my colleague kateryna lisunova, who is currently in communication with the us congress building, katya, hello, congratulations yulia . were there any results from yesterday's meeting at the white house, why? president biden, republican leaders in congress cannot agree to increase the state debt limit , which happened repeatedly under previous administrations as a result of negotiations between congress representatives and the president biden aside, they agreed to continue negotiating, the next meeting is scheduled for this friday, at the same time the parties insist that they will not be admitted to the fund of the united states of america both republicans and democrats understand that increasing the debt limit is a necessary step, at the same time, the dispute is about what additional measures should be taken to get rid of national debt in the future. in short, the republicans demand to reduce spending and the democrats to increase taxes for

large corporations. the opposition offers listen in a statement from the republican leaders, the american economy now brings in more money than ever before , but what is the problem then, the democrats increased spending by six trillion dollars, this caused inflation and created the problem we have today, our national debt is over 313 million dollars, that is 20% more than our entire economy, we were in such a situation only once after the second world war, so what kind of big request is this to return spending to the level that was 5 months ago ? used to return to taxpayers is not yet going to declare default we are having discussions about raising the debt limit in particular about imposing restrictions on our spending especially after the previous convocation of the congress in which the majority was in

the democrats put an additional two and six trillion dollars on the shoulders of americans and this discussion is not is something unusual we have done it before raising the debt limit often involves the approval of additional measures the problem is that we are running out of time the president needs to get serious to sit down at the table with speaker mccarthy and find a solution in his own form, regardless of who is in the proposed budget . no, the budget is guaranteed to reduce the national debt by trillions of dollars for the next 10 years. in addition , according to the white house, they are ready to discuss the budget and spending cuts. but the demands that the republicans are making first of all, they will hit social benefits, there are ordinary americans, biden insists. look at my budget, it cuts waste, closes loopholes, and also forces the richest

americans and the largest corporations to start pay their fair share only a part instead speaker mccarthy proposed a completely different approach he proposed serious cuts that i think will hurt american families millions of americans who rely on public health insurance medicate risk losing it that is not for some reason 15 affects in early june further default representatives of the republican party want to reduce or end aid to ukraine, funding support for kyiv to suffer in some way in the course of negotiations on spending cuts the consequences for ukraine consist of two points: firstly, if the united states really appears before the deposition, it will weaken the position of the united states and strengthen the position of moscow and other autocrats in the world. another point is the fact that among the republicans there is a fairly loud

but small group of far-right republicans which may demand to reduce the costs of the united states by reducing or completely stopping aid to ukraine , congressman democratic cohen explained this to me and stated not only that the situation with the national debt may affect aid to the country republicans control the house of representatives , in general, half of the legislative body in the senate and the house of representatives. this issue has been worrying me for some time. in russia than in the sovereignty of ukraine, an independent ukraine is not an issue that worries them, there will be people who want to reduce costs by reducing aid to ukraine

but i don't think it will be a majority. i think we can put it to a vote and resolve this issue . we will see how it develops. hearings were held in july in the senate committee on armed forces and one of the main issues discussed by this committee was the issue of increasing spending on air defense of the united states of america, which in itself demonstrates how much it really affected the the modern style of defense and military strategy is the russian war in ukraine, according to the representative of the pentagon, to resist russian aggression and stop the russian offensive thanks to the fact that kyiv mostly invested its funds in defense on the basis

of air defense, here directly in air defense, according to the plan, the fact that ukrainians can repel most russian strikes with air defenses provided by both the united states of america and other western partners demonstrates that uh this is determining factor of this type of weapon in the modern war, i will note that they also discussed the fact that in ukraine it was possible to repel russian dagger missiles with the help of american patriot installations, and that such a practical action of american installations also explains the necessary increase in air defense in the united states of america and the increase in costs on it is this type of defense aid, you know that as of now, as explained during the merits hearings in

the united states senate, more than 1,600 stinger missiles of the petriv system , two advanced nasambs anti-aircraft missile systems, 12 avenger air defense systems, and cosplay of the middle e-e. for ukraine thank you, katya , my colleague kateryna lisunova was in touch with the congress in the federal court of manhattan announced the verdict in the civil case against former us president donald trump the jury admitted that trump committed sexual violence against the communist jean carol, at the same time the jury decided that the prosecution did not provide enough evidence to prove rape. only about this case and the sentence. and what it can mean in

practice for donald trump, or are we threatened with arrest? yulia, a writer and columnist jinke roth, 79 years old, accused donald trump of what he did to her. sexual assault and rape in 1996 under a new law in the state of new york, such cases can be opened about cases of sexual assault even if the statute of limitations has expired. in this way, she says, he tried to embarrass a colleague of the jury, then they really, as you said, did not find enough evidence about rape , but unanimously agreed that donald trump had committed a sexual act violence against jinker, they also unanimously agreed that he had defamed her, on the basis of this, the court issued a decision ordering trump to pay damages

to jinker in the amount of 5 million dollars, however, the defense side of trump's lawyer does not agree with such a sentence, they say that filing an appeal is called a political case motivated, donald trump himself also says that he does not know this woman at all, called this verdict a disgrace, as long as the trial of the case continues, as long as the appeal continues, then donald trump should not pay compensation for the arrest of yury, this case is civil and not criminal, therefore, there is no question of arrest at the moment, it is about the possibility of actual payment of compensation, another matter today in new york took into custody the republican security guard george santos, who is accused of federal crimes on 13 counts of what this legislator is known, what is he accused of and can he be expelled from the congress, and george santos himself is one of the most scandalous representatives of the republican party in the congress, he is a newly elected congressman who was elected on

mid-term elections in the 22nd year, he is serving his first term, but already after the election it was found out that he lied about some of the facts of his biography, some of them he simply made up and now federal prosecutors have indicted him on 13 counts of fraud or deceiving donors as well as the public regarding, in particular , the finances that he used for his company, what yuli is talking about in these 13 counts of indictment, it's about fraud , money laundering, it's also about theft of public money, about false statements in documents for the house of representatives and others, this case can be divided into three points. the first one says that george santos allegedly collected contributions for a fund that he falsely called a political fund during his election campaign. yes, if it is proven that he is going to use these funds to

buy designer clothes. is it possible to pay by credit card ? it seems that george santos applied for unemployment benefits during the coronavirus pandemic, although at that time prosecutors say that he still had a third income, that this is part of the case, which is also what the prosecution says that george santos allegedly provided false information in the documents that he submitted to congress to enter into misled the house of representatives, in particular, in the documents when it came to his financial er, financial capabilities , about his er, about this part of his biography. not guilty. the question is whether this can affect his work at the moment, no, there is no law in the united states that would prohibit legislators from holding office while the case is pending, even a criminal one, but if santos is found guilty, then he

faces up to 20 years in prison. a deposit of half a million dollars was placed with literally 30 seconds left through public pre-election receipts. and is there any pressure at all on the republicans to get him removed from the collection? the media talk a lot about it, the voters talk about the seven legislators, different voices are heard, some of the legislators say that they are not local santos in the conoration, that it is a shame, another, in particular , kevin mccarthy, the leader of the carpathian society of representatives, does not show readiness to exclude him from the laws of legislators, therefore, in principle , they are different, even ostapa, thank you my colleague ostap yarysh was very in touch with the capitol hill, and finally, a story from california, a soldier of the azov regiment, a mother with a daughter and

a sixteen-year-old teenager, these ukrainians have different stories, but the russian war brutally intervened in all their lives vladyslav lark with the call sign wikipedia nataliya and yana stepanenko ivan chaban lost their limbs as a result of russian aggression krystyna shevchenko met with them in california to find out how they adapt to new prostheses and why they value friendship so much with one in the suburbs of san diego, california, a special meeting will take place today. vlad the lark with the call sign wikipedia is a fighter of the azov regiment. a month ago, the 29-year-old defender of azovstal flew to in the united states, he had prosthetics in the state of florida, now he is joking about the new leg has certain advantages, i myself am less

of a moron, because i won’t say it. i can do everything, that is. in short, we and the prosthetists in orlando fought for every centimeter because, well, i have a high amputation and my church is left like this. also , if you look carefully, you can see the authorities in the eyes. this is how it is superimposed in the frame, it is in another place, it is dark. vlad has not even had time to get used to the prosthesis, but it is already starting to work, so i am high from the fact that i can already be there, well, almost a full-fledged member of society. that is, i can go to the store there on a level with dragonflies, maybe even riding the trams there is still different. but again, first of all, it allows me to already work, already socialize and be. well, not be a burden for others, but already do something to los angeles. vlad came from

washington, where he called continue to support ukraine and also met with representatives of the diaspora in many states , collecting funds for his brothers from the azov regiment. and in california, a special meeting was waiting for him. the blow that the russians inflicted on the kramatorsk railway station. then 59 people died . natalia lost one leg and i lost both for more than six months. they live in san diego, where they were fitted with prostheses and where they go yanochka started going to school full day with prostheses, sashka, and so on until eight to nine in the evening, and

then from 7 o'clock we are at school at one o'clock from eight o'clock in the morning until two in the afternoon, and then after school i pass i go home, i ride my bike, i ride, and my dad eats, i walk there on the street, i go for a ride, and somehow i’m starting. well, i’m already used to everything, in principle, the only thing is that i can’t ride a bike so far, well, vlad has become one of the best why didn't we tie family friends friendship with natalia and yana well, because these are our people, because we met them six months ago purely by chance, and we are united by one problem, that is, if russia had not started a war with our ukraine, then i would be an engineer somewhere in odesa, they i would live in my village, i would live perfectly peacefully on my land, in my homeland, the children there are healthy, they run to

school, they support me, they always support me, they tell me not to be sad and that everything will be fine, such support every day, and in the ocean on a surfboard, another friend stepanenko and the government, 16-year-old ivan chaban, a lost teenager after we also ran her over by a russian tank in march of last year. and here he is after two hours of surfing, it 's great, but he's tired, he's the same in his heart , his brain, everything climbed the forest to the shore, and on the other side - no, the best therapy is still needed, says ivan. he goes to an american school and continues to undergo rehabilitation in san diego . ian and natalya will return to ukraine in august, and vlad will fly home in a few weeks. they were united by the war and the mission

to tell the world about the war and help armed forces of ukraine and of course support each other khrystyna shevchenko oleksandr brigadier bohdan shevchenko san diego california voice of america and that's the end of it thank you for watching voice of america in ukrainian see you tomorrow good luck daddy you are looking for this girl her name is margarita nosova she is 13 years old and margarita disappeared in mariupol, it happened on the first day of the full-scale invasion of russia , on february 24, the connection with the girl was cut off

since then, nothing is known about her fate , a resident of the city reported on the disappearance of margarita a woman from zaporozhye said that at the beginning of the war, she received a message on viber from the number of her friend who lives in mariupol, but it was not her friend who wrote to her, but an unknown man, he said that his daughter margarita was in mariupol , she went missing in the chaos of the war, and asked for help in the search and dissemination of information i dropped my girlfriend's phone on viber. i realized that something had happened. he was from mariupol. i asked myself what can i do to help. and here are the old data of these, if you can find them and find margarita, because he doesn't know how, well, it's his. daughter, i understood so. he doesn't know where it happened. and he himself was in mariupoli and described to me how their apartment was bombed, and let's see the actual fragment of this correspondence . there were two hits from a tank in the kitchen and the bedroom. two huge holes . ivanna's kitchen was made of one room. hello.

sasha my name is ludmila, i'm from zaporozhye, this is the phone number of my friend, whom i 'm looking for, well, since fate has ordered it like this, i want to help you, i submitted it to search for your parents, and mrs. ludmila's daughter did not remain indifferent to someone else's troubles and passed on to the police the information that a man who introduced himself as her father reported about margarita, the situation is actually quite confusing, and whether this man is really margarita's father is unknown, he did not write anything and did not get in touch, but whatever, a year has already passed, and about there is no information about margarita nosova, unfortunately, it is not excluded that she is a girl. she may be among the thousands of ukrainian children who were deported to russia , because in general , more than 19 thousand of our children were deported to the russian federation, and this is not the final figure, because russia refuses

to provide complete lists of children who were taken out of ukraine, the deportation of children is a component of the crime of genocide, so i want to note that if you know about any crime against a child , in particular, about kidnapping or deportation, do not remain indifferent and immediately report it to the police or report it to our website immediately .ua you can even do it anonymously, but the fact that margarita was deported to russia is only a guess, in fact, maybe she is still in the temporarily occupied mariupol and lives with someone from her relatives, so i am
